29/02/2012 - A Leap Day

Ooooh ! It’s the 366^th day of the year. I wonder what everyone’s doing in their extra 24 hours.

So far, I’m doing my assignments and noone really cares that today is an extra day, maybe I should do an “Extra Day of the Year” party even though it seems pointless. It'd be a fun idea to do something when I'm bored. Yea, that's right, I get bored once every four years :P

I’ve also been watching THE ELLEN DEGENRES SHOW on youtube. I don’t watch a lot of TV apart from ANTM. Most of my friends don’t watch The Ellen Show cause they don’t like her or they just don’t care. She’s awesome anyway ! :)

History Essay

Writing a letter to someone in the 1900s. I just wanted to write this just in case I forget my marks. Then I can look back at my school marks in the future :) 8-10

I also realised blogspot doesn't write the date at the bottom of each entry so I'll write it.

Salt, Light, Stars

I think my blog was intentionally meant to be used for reviews on art on dA. It’s been like half a year since my last verdict which was “Road to Space”. I am obviously not sponsored to do these reviews because I have no viewers. All the photos used in this post are hers, I do not own anything ! Except my reviews. Maybe I should do a review per month.

This artwork is called “Salt, Light, Stars” by kodoku-no-ki on deviantart. She created this in May 2011. I know it seems stupid to do review on something that has been released a year ago, but this is ARTTTT ! It never gets old.

 The category of this picture is in Digital Art/Drawing/Fantasy

One of the things I love about this drawing is the colours used. The two main colours are purple and blue. With some artworks that have the same shade of colour, usually end up being dull and boring.

At first sight, I was attracted to the little fireflies in the air, or the highlights around the people. Without the highlights in the photo, it would be quite boring but I really admire how the artist used highlights in a unique way.

The people and the colours used, make the feeling very serene. I like how the black, thin lines used, serves as an accent accessory to the picture. Instead of using defined lines, they are more scribbled and placed randomly which is compliments the picture nicely. Sometimes messy is nice :)

Credits to kodoku-no-ki, I don't own anything.

I' m starting to like Mondays. :O

I’m pretty shocked about saying this. ><

So since today is Friday, I’m not happy. Usually everyone is really happy on Fridays, cause the weekends are after. (Why am I stating the obvious ?) On Saturdays I have tutoring which I don’t like, mostly because of my teacher. I made a small rant about him.

I have tutoring tomorrow and like I have a couple of assignments due next week and the week after. On weekdays, I just usually do homework.

I kind of like Monday better because it’s far away from tutoring. Weighs so much work on my me now :(

Valentine's Day

:O My first Valentines Day on blogspot. :) Not that exciting. Today, at school, walking around, I could spot all the people that were going to get loads of roses and teddy bears. The roses this year were expensive. I knew there were many people that get annoyed on Valentine’s Day because they might not get any roses, they get annoyed of couples, they might think V-Day is stupid or they think it’s a just a normal day.

I received two roses this year, which is pretty ‘Ok’ I guess, because it shows at least I got some love. I bought a black rose for my mum because a rose is usually a symbolism of love and affection, but black usually shows death and darkness. So basically, I hate my mum and dad in the most loveable way.

There are also a couple of things I hate and like about Valentine’s Day.

The cost

Roses are usually around $1-2, but at my school they are $2.50 for a Silk Rose. The Fresh roses were $4 and I was thinking w-t-h. Are you serious ?! The rose is so fragile and will die a week later, buy a fake rose it will last forever. The teddy bears are attached to the rose which I don’t like because you gotta buy both the Rose AND the Bear, but I would just sell the rose to keep the teddy bear. That’s just my school.

Tricks

With some of my friends they pull up this line before V-day “I’m gonna buy you a rose” and I would reply “Okay, I’ll buy you one as well”.After that, you would just feel FORCED to buy them a rose, like a gift in return. I think the idea is; to buy yourself a rose, but to show it off more when you walk around the school. I also think it’s a bit of a waste of money.

Evidence of Love

At my school, roses are handed out to you in roll call. I somehow ended up sitting next to one of the really popular girls and the students were delivering the gifts. She received like 8 roses or something with cards stuck to them that usually say "Hey cutie pie! Happy Valentine's Day, love you so much xo" or something like that. I'm not used to those words, so for me its just like                              *awkward*                              . While she was receiving her gifts, her face was just like "I know bruh, got lots of love, happens everyday" and I was sitting next to her thinking " FOREVER ALONE!! ". 

Waste like $50 every year. Afterwards, they walk around the school showing off their love and they're probably thinking or expressions look like "YOU JEALOUS, BITCH?" :L Nearly all the guys in the grade don't have any roses cause they're so 'manly'.

Affection

I don't get any roses when it comes to Valentine's Day, but I got 2 this year from my closest friends which made me pretty happy. Sometimes, I get sad and moody so it was nice to receive something. Remember "its about the quality not the quantity" ... ;) ... but it would've been nice to receive more stuff. Better than nothing. That quote is used for people who recieve less, but still wanna look cool, like me ;)      ;).  HAHAHHA.

A Reminder

I know many people say that Valentine's Day is pointless because you should love your family, friends and partner EVERYDAY, instead of loving them on the 14th of February. I actually do want to thank the guy or girl that made Valentine's Day 'official' on some calendars because sometimes I forget to love my mum, my friends & family.

It might be a pointless day to buy gifts, but it does remind me to appreciate and to love.

Overall, it was quite nice to receive something from some friends. :)

things I hate 2 ; When people say…

“ You’re writing is so neat “

So, because there are new students that come into school every year, they’re gonna sit alone in class. I have a friend that’s in my Maths class & we don’t really have much to talk about. Maths is huge bludge.

So, I was just writing & then my friend says to me “ You’re writing is so neat “. “ Thankyou ” I replied. Obviously, only girls say that but if you’re a guy and you say that, it doesn’t mean youre gay. But most guys don’t say that line anyway.

When people pull up the line “ You’re writing is so neat “, I’d just be like  “ Ok “, but then I usually think “ Is that the only compliment you can give me ?! “. Honestly, I’d appreciate any compliment. But that line, is like saying “ Your feet are really nice “ instead of saying “ Your face is really pretty “ :P

I also don’t expect compliments like “ babe u look so gorgeous in this pic <3 “. As long as the compliment is honest, then that’s all I care about.

“ You’re writing is so neat “ is one of the lines that just piss me off. I dont mind the comment because I heard it every now and then. Yes, I used to use that line but I don’t use it as much as before.

Valentine’s Day is in a week, so I’m not surprised. :/
