10 things I love

Hey guys,

On a much MUCH happier not to my last post, one thing that never fails to cheer me up is reading other peoples blogs (so if you are reading this and just happen to be a proud owner of a blog, feel free to drop your link in the comment box below). One blog I happened to browse upon was +Another Teen . She too -made evident in her blog title- is a teen blogger and what I love the most about her posts are how relatable she is. I find myself sitting there going "yeah, I know what you mean".

Moving on, so I was browsing her blog and was inspired to make a '10 things I love' post, so without further ado (I think that's the phrase, correct me if I used it wrong), here is my list:

Holidays and weekends- yessssssssssss! my ultimate. My life. My love. There is nothing better than enjoying a well deserved break after months or days of school

Music- Some songs just speak to your soul

Youtube- There is no better way to waste time than on Youtube. I really do find it crazy how all these things -twitter, YouTube, vine, instagram- were not around a couple of years ago and now you can have a career out of it and nearly everyone is so involved in it

Blogging- I know, I know. How can you love something you keep forgetting to do? Well, I didn't say I was good at it, but blogging is another form of escapism -not that my life sucks or anything ahah- but sometimes it's good to just get lost in your words and thoughts. As corny or cheesy as this may sound (I hope if any of my friends are reading this they don't hold it against me later on) whilst I am typing a new post, I actually feel like I am talking to someone. When I first started blogging I thought the idea of it was mental, because you can't see the person reading your post and they don't even comment back, but now it's a little different. I know that people at least get to see what I think and know how I feel. Even if they don't care, it's still a relief.

Family- Now as crazy and perhaps even annoying as my family is, I love them to bits and wouldn't trade them for anything ahaha. I'm pretty sure an outsider looking in would find us all to be complete nutjobs

Vacations- As similar as this is to a 'holiday' to me, a vacation is more than just time off work or school, it's when you get the chance to travel during those breaks and explore new areas in the world

SPORTS- now, you may or may not notice that this is the only point I have written in bold. SPORTS. whether it's table tennis or Netball I love pretty much every sport (apart from long distance running *cringe* I have bad memories about that) I this is because I happen to be a very competitive person, so any chance I get to win or beat someone in something, I'll be there.

Like anotherteenontheweb mentioned No homework- There is nothing better than going home after a stressful day of school knowing that you have nothing due the next day

MUJI-  the stationary this shop provides is UNREAL. I mean, yes. The products are very minimalistic, but that's what I love the most about it -although I think after having my friend buy me The Art Of War and considering the fact that I own a chinese designed mirror- my friends are starting to think that I want to be asaian (did anyone else watch the Bring It On movie where they were using the book 'The Art Of War' to defeat the rival squad?? no? was it just me? Was I the only human inspired by that?)

Skateboarding- Despite the fact that I only do this approximately once every three months (not by choice, I'm still an amateur so I don't feel comfortable going out and practising by myself and the only friends of mine that own a skateboard are currently too into revising to take a break and skate with me, so hopefully I'll get more board action in summer)

P.s. Releasing two posts in the same day? Who kidnapped me and forced me to write this? ahaha I'm not making any promises, but I am trying to make up for my recent silence

P.p.s. Yes! the Someecards are back! I'm not sure whether you missed them or not, but it just cheers me up sifting through them on google and sharing the ones that make me laugh

Anyway, I've got another quote and picture for you all,

Hmm...HMM..

Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.

15 QUESTIONS TUMBLR CHALLENGE

Hey guys,

It's a new day, therefore I bring to you a new tag! via my good friend Tumblr

1. You were just given a yacht. What would you name it?

The Jess express

2. If you could have been told one thing that you weren't told when you were a teenager, what would you like to have heard?

well, I'm currently a teenager, but I'd say learn ahead of the class

3. What is your favourite commercial? What commercial annoys you the most?

...I'll get back to you on this one

4. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Successful in a job that makes me travel a lot, in a serious relationship, surrounded by friends and family, have an apartment with a view of the city skyline

5. What is the worst possible name to call a child?

After any celebrity/ animal/ object (e.g table, salt, moon) or the parents likes
e.g. I was watching cake boss, and a client loved denim, so she wanted to name her child Denim.

6. What is the best/worst pick up line you have ever heard?

To me personally, it was something along the lines of "...you look like the Mona Lisa"

7. What is the weirdest gift you have ever received?

weird? It's not really weird, but a pencil case

8. What is your most disappointing moment in life?

wow... I'm not sure, probably not being able to join my netball team when they had to compete in Beijing

9. When have you laughed the hardest? Cried?

Well, I have this weird thing, where when I laugh a lot, I begin to cry. So this is kind of  a two in one answer.  Pretty much any time I'm with my friends or family

10. If you had a “theme song” that played whenever you walk into a room full of people, what would it be?

Idek, probably, my current favourite song Vanic X K.Flay - Can't Sleep

11. Are you a planner or a procrastinator? Give an example?

Well, you already know the answer to this, I'm regrettably a procrastinator. My infrequent blog posts is example enough

12. Would you rather plan a party or attend one? Why?

Both (for anyone currently planning a part ;) ) but on a more serious note, I kind of like the planning process. Being able to make the guest list, giving people a dress code to follow, choosing the venue, music, etc.

13. If you could attend any college, free of charge, what college would that be and what major would you pursue? Why?

I currently have too many things I want to do in the future, but I'd probably go to

14. What is something unexpected that has changed about you in the last few years?

I think I've become a more honest, tolerant person, to different personalities and people, but I'm still working on it :)

15. Would you ever use a dating service (match.com, e-harmony, etc.) to find someone? 
Why/Why not.

NO. Not that I have anything against those kind of sites or the people that use them, but I believe that you'll find the person you're meant to be with eventually, if you are meant to be with them

Anyway, I've got another quote and picture for you all,

Hmm...HMM..

Things do not change; we change.

Would you rather tag PT. 1

Hey guys, 

I was browsing my tumblr and I found a lot of (in my opinion) really cool tags that we could do. So, for every day this week, I'm going to do a tag, and maybe this time next year (if I remmeber) I'll redo the tags and see if I'd chose the same answers, or if I've changed my mind. 

Today's tag is...

The would you rather tag 

theses are my answers:

1.Would you rather live in a world where there are no problems or live in a world where you rule?

I would say, live in a world with no problems, because even if I don't rule it, everyone would be either equal, or just well off in life and there'll be no suffering

2. Would you rather get a dream vacation for two weeks or spend a week with anyone in the world?

I would probably spend a week with anyone in the world. If you think about it, you could take that dream vacation any time (if you save up), but you might never get the chance to spend a day, yet alone a week with that person

3. Would you rather fly or read minds?

This one's easy. Definitely read minds. That way no one will know what I know (well technically they will) and you can finally find out what people are thinking when you catch them staring at you

4. Would you rather have more time or money?

I would rather have more money.

Simply because we all spend most of our lives trying to make money, therefore if I had more money, I could use that time for something else. So in a way, by having more money I'd have more free time

5. Would you have piercings or tattoos?

I would have... I don't know. Tattoos? 

I guess, if you have tattoos, at least there can be some sort of meaning/story behind it, whereas if you had a piercing...

6. Would you rather have a rewind button in your life or a pause button in your life?

Hmmm.. another tough one. I think a rewind button would be very useful, but then if I was to change something in the past, I wouldn't be the same person that I am today and things would be different, like I might not have met the friends I have now... so I'd have to say a pause button

7. Would you rather only be able to whisper or only be able to shout everything?

definitely whisper, I wouldn't want to be that laud obnoxious person in the room

8. Would you rather go without the internet or a car for a month?

My initial reaction would have been WITHOUT A CAR. But not that I really think about it, I'd rather go on a really long road trip with the car, than have the internet

9. Would you rather have to sit all day or stand all day?

Of course I'd rather sit. If I had to stand all day, I'd be so irritable and moody

10. Would you rather sing every word you speak or always speak in rhymes?

Ohh gosh. Can I say neither?

I guess if I had to choose, I'd rather not torture the ears of the world with my horrendous singing skills and I'd speak in rhymes

I nominate +Neri SeesRed +Georgia Leigh +Anne Vanves +Chloe Bellamy +Angela D +Another Teen and anyone else who has read this post and wants to do the tag

p.s. I really want to see your answers, so please link me into your posts

Anyway, I've got another quote and picture for you all,

Hmm...HMM..

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

My Bad Habits

Hey guys,

I told you in my updated: Pet peeves post that I was going to make a post about my bad habits. The list is going to be quite small because I'm perfect (cue laughter) I'm joking- anywhoo here you go:

• Sleeping late
• Constantly eating snacks
• sucking my tongue
• skipping breakfast
• curling my toes
• eating in classes

Ha! that last one reminds me of the two times I ate an apple in maths. P.S. I never got caught.

Anyway, I've got another quote and picture for you all,

Hmm...HMM...

Everyone has some subjects that they like and some that they can't stand. Lucky for me, I like most of my subjects (cue laughter). Wait. I'm not sure if I've already posted something like this up already, but oh well, I won't check.

Anywhoo, my favorite subjects are:

• ART!!!
• Science

Favourite kids shows

Hey guys,

Don't you just hate it when you find out that your favorite childhood show has stopped playing on television?
One of my sisters were telling  me about an old Nick show called Drake and Josh (below)
and how funny it used to be, I got to watch it for a few years, but it's no longer on TV or they only show repeats, with other channels like Lilo and stitch, Kenan and Kel, Rograts, Bratz, Cramp Twins, The Tweenies, Winnie the Pooh, That's so Raven, Cory In The House, etc...


Anyway, I have another quote for you all,
