Photographs & Summer Break

Heyy~!

The other day I posted all of those photos because I have nothing better to write about. But today I've decided that I'm going to upload more in the near future, hopefully some of them will be mine. I'll definitely upload photos that I've taken after summer break because I'm going to Hawaii and Australia, which will both be good opportunities to take some great photographs.

I'm going out to dinner with my mum tonight so I should probably stop writing in this thing for now. Anyway, bye!

I thought I would upload some of my favourite images that I've found on various websites on the internet. Just so you guys know I take absolutely no credit for any of these images. I hope you like them! (^^)

Today's Plans...

Heyy~!

Nothing much happening today. I went to TAC for lunch and other then homework that's about it. My sisters birthday party last night was actually pretty good; I managed to get some sleep at least. I did their make-up and hair and stuff this morning so that was my contribution to her birthday.

I'm really bored so I'll just tell you about my lunch, I hope you don't mind, and I promise I won't be offended if you don't read the rest of this post. =] Anyway, we went to lunch and I had a Chinese chicken salad which was yummy, so I'm glad. I also saw Alex (from grade eight) but other then that it was boring. If any of you kept reading this, I'm sorry its so lame but I have nothing else to say...I'll let you go now, bye!

Heyy~!

My sister's birthday is coming up and to celebrate she's invited her friends over for sleepover. The house will be overrun by fifth graders and to top it all off I have to sit through an entire dinner with them. Talk about living hell!

Anyway, other than that not much is happening. Sam and Amaury came over today and we played monopoly which was kinda fun. Except it ended up in them insulting me...I know my posts are getting shorter so I'll try and fix that but for now, I have homework to do, so, bye!

Heyy! The Concert Is Over! =]

Heyy~!

The concert was great!! The little kids were sooo cute. Especially the preschoolers, they were absolutely adorable. ^^ I thought our drama performance was near perfect too. I only stuffed up once and it was tiny too so I'm totally greatful for that. I only stuffed up because Antione (the funny guy) couldn't get the kazoo to work and that was hilarious and I had to force myself to stop laughing. After that I just muddled up two of my lines but it didn't really matter because I stopped early and fixed it. I wasn't even nervous which was cool because I thought I'd be freaking out (instead of me, Amaury was freaking out ^^) but when we got there I was just happy and excited. Our Middle School performance was pretty good too. I don't think anyone messed up or forgot where they were supposed to be. It was all just a lot of fun. I'll post some pictures on here too after they get put on facebook. Anyway, I should probably go to bed, I'm kinda tired.

Charity Concert Today =]

Heyy~!

Today is the TIS Charity Concert and I'm not really looking forward to it. I mean when we get there I probably won't mind but at the moment I'm afraid that I'm gonna mess up. =[

Anyway, I'm leaving in about 20minutes so I should probably go and change. I'll write some more about the concert either later tonight or tomorrow, we'll see how I go.

Helloooo =]

Heyy~!

I'm very bored at the moment. =] And I have almost nothing to write about which is fun so this will be a short post. I have only two things to say and here they are:...

1. We have our Spring Concert tomorrow night so wish me luck on my part as the narator for our Drama performance! (I'm scared that I'm gonna mess up).

And 2. If you have any ideas of good conversation starters please post them in a comment, thanks!

Past, Present & Future.

Heyy~!

Ok, for everyone that was involved in the mess up between us on the Friday before the Cherry Blossom Fair, you might want to read this...(It's basically the story on why I wasn't exactly willing to patch things up with you guys).

So I ever since I was in kindergarten I've had two best friends, and only two. I kind of did this on purpose because I didn't like being around a bunch of people all the time. When there was only three of us we could have real conversations without everyone trying to be heard at the same time and I could tell them my deepest darkest secrets without everyone in the school knowing. So between my years in kindergarten through to year four it was just me and my two best friends, Holli & Santi. But then this girl named Maddie came to our school and she was really mean and stuck up and everything but somehow she turned Santi against us. And Santi became really bitchy and mean and everything and so a lot of people got annoyed by her. The thing is though, Maddie was only at our school for like two years and then she moved but in that she managed to make Santi totally different and had convinced her to spill all of mine and Holli's secrets to practically the whole school. We had told her everything and she just turned on us. We felt absolutely horrible after that but at least we still had eachother. Except then Holli moved to Adelaide. I felt really alone but luckily my other friends, Margaret & Tina, were there for me which was really nice of them considering we wern't exactly best friends before that. We are totall besties now though which is awesome and I miss them so much and can't wait to go back and see them.

Anyway, you know how they say history never repeats itself? Well in my case it kind of has. A bunch of my friends turned on me for no apparent reason and I felt horrible. Luckily there were two people who were there for me, whom I'm totally thankful for, and I now only have two best friends again. I didn't really want to patch things up with you guys because I don't know if I'm capable of dealing with almost everyone knowing my major secrets. But I am really sorry that it had to happen like this because I know its really traumatic for all of us. I hope we can still be friends, just maybe not bestfriends, you know? Please tell me what you think and we should try and sort this out now so it doesn't come back to bite us in the future. Just remember, I love all of you guys and I would hate to move back to Australia with a bad memory of you all.

By the way, anyone who wasn't involved and has read this please tell me what we could do to sort it out, thanks heaps!

Today, Skype && Life

Heyy~!

So not much is happening lately but I wanted to tell you about the conversation I just had on skype with my boyfriend. I'll copy and paste it here but I just want to give you a brief description about it and how it came about first...Well we were just trying to find a topic to talk about and so he typed this comment to me and at first I thought it was pretty funny because he usually comments on how sarcastic I am, ect., ect. Anyway, as you know I suck at explaining so I'll just copy and past the chat already...Enjoy!!

Cherry Blossom Fair & Friends Again.

Heyy~!

Yesterday was the annual Cherry Blossom Fair. It was a pretty good day overall however some of my so called 'friends' brought my mood down a bit. Which is really quite sad when you think about it. I mean, it feels absolutely horrible to be having a great day and then someone you thought was your friend starts being mean to you for no apparent reason. Long story short: the majority of girls at school now hate me for a reason that is unknown, well to me at least and the girls that go to my school are extremely shallow. I'm just glad that theres those few people that are nice enough to still be my friend and care enough to hear my side of the story, Marina, Zeyn and Amaury for example. But its kind of sad how the majority of my friends are now boys...

Anyway. I kinda wanted to write about something I've learned. This something is something that I first learn't when I was in about year five in Australia and has now come to my attention again, in year seven in Japan. Basically what I've learn't is that sometimes it's better to have only two or three best friends. I think its better this way because something I've realised is the more people that call themselves your 'friends', the more people know your secrets and have leverage to hurt you the most. I know it sounds kind of sad or lame or whatever but I guess, in a way, the less people that know stuff about you the better because you can't be hurt as easily. Well maybe this is just my opinion or maybe its true for other people as well? Please comment and tell me what you think.

It's A Friday Today....

Heyy~!

Ok, first of all I couldn't think of a good title. Now on to more pressing matters....Yesterday. Yesterday Amaury kissed me for the first time. It was amazing. Now either you want to hear the story or you are sick of reading my posts about Amaury. If you want to hear the story keep reading. If you are sick of hearing about my love life stop reading right now. I mean it. Stop right here.

Well now thats taken care of, let me start with the story. As usual Amaury had walked me home after school. We spent about 20minutes trying to get my sister to leave so we could have some time alone and when she finally did leave we sat and had a conversation at the bottom of my building for about half an hour. Then when he got up to leave he gave me a hug and then he kissed me! And I admit I'm not very good at explaining things so I'm sorry about that but oh well.

Anyway...Something else I wanted to tell you about is somade me feel really bad. I had only been gone for a month and they had seen each other for a week and they just seemed to be sooo comfortable with each other.me arguments that have been going on between my former best friend and I. We used to be really close up until winter break. I stayed in Australia with my family for an extra week while most of my friends were back at school. But when I got back to Tokyo and went to school again my so called best friend and boyfriend were getting really comfortable with each other! I mean, how would you feel if your best friend and boyfriend were getting cozy? I mean, come on! It was so obvious that they were flirting with each other and I just felt like I was in the way. Anyway, it's been four whole months and we're still fighting and we're not best friends anymore. But the real problem is that its between me and her but she's trying to get our other friends on her 'side'. And to be honest I don't even get why there's sides if its between me and her. Why can't our friends just be left out of it? Why do they have to decide who is more worthy of support? Anyway, if you have any possible answers to any of these questions please comment!

Everything...

Heyy =] 04/02/2009


Heyy Guyz,

Sorry I haven't updated this thing in a while, it's just I've been a bit busy because my school was on spring break. I'm pretty tired at the moment because we went back to school yesterday and the last two night we've had homework! Anyway....One of my best friends is moving today so that's a bit sad. Another thing that's sad is I've already run out of things to say. Okay....Let me think for a moment and I'll keep writing soon...

Okay, so I've thought of something and here it is (by the way its not very interesting). I went to see Marley & Me the other day and now I really wanna read the book! It was a really good movie but it was kinda sad when the dog was put down. =[ And I would know...I had to get one of the best dogs in the world put down and I was at the vet with my mum and sister (my dad was at work) and he got the shot. His eyes closed slowly and he lay his head in between his legs and it all happened so fast. My mum started crying after that and it was truly horrible. I know quite a few people who get their pets stuffed after they die but we got him cremated and now he sits in this little jar underneath a tree he used to love in my backyard. We really miss him and everything but its kinda nice to think that hes still sitting under that tree in the backyard...

Wow...Look at how much I wrote even though I said I couldn't think of anything!! Anyway, there's a bit of a childhood story for you. By the way, I have a Japanese test next Wednesday so wish me luck!

Blah 03/08/2009

Well, there's not much to talk about but my Dad's arriving in Japan soon, he should be here at 9 o'clock. So apart from that nothing much is happening lately. We went to see the movie 'Australia' today and I thought it was really, really good! By the way, there's parent teacher conferences tomorrow so wish me luck!
xoxox~Lauren

Late, I know but oh well... 03/06/2009



So, obviously I've either been to busy or too lazy to write a blog entry lately and I'm sorry about that but you can take your pick on which one it is. =] To be honest, nothing much has happened lately anyway. School is school, my sisters are still getting on my nerves but apart from that everything is ok.

Cherry Blossom Season 2009...& Other Things... 04/06/2009



Heyy~!

So there are some amazing cherry blossoms around at the moment and I've managed to take a bunch of pictures so I'll upload them on the Pictures page. I hope you like them ^^Also, I have some info if you promise not to tell anyone!! So here it is....^^ I walked home with my friend Marina and my boyfriend Amaury today (<---see the difference between those two words: friend & boyfriend? Anyway, I should probably get back to the story--->) and we stopped and talked for a bit before Marina and her sister had to go. So Amaury and I were left there, still talking and all alone. We were there for another 10 minutes before he had to go and as usual he moved in to hug me, and I did the same. As he pulled away after holding me for what seemed a very long time (but, trust me, I'm not complaining!) and kissed me on the cheek. Then he looked me right in the eyes and told me he loved me. I was so surprised! I mean, after all, this is something that he’s never actually said to me before., he’s typed it to me on text messages and skype but never actually said it in words. All I could do was look into those gorgeous eyes of his and say 'I Love You Too'. Then he said he really had to go and I replied by saying 'Yeh, 'course, bye'. It made me so happy and the only thing that could have made it better was if he'd kissed me, on the lips. (Again, something hes never done before, but I'm hoping he'll do it soon....Also if you guys could drop hints for me, that would be great!! But I guess I do understand, after all, hes never kissed a girl before). Well, I hope you like my story!!

I cried myself to sleep last night, just thinking about you. 04/04/2009


Heyy,

So, something happened yesterday that made me rethink almost everything in my life: Was moving to Japan the right decision? Are my friends really my friends? What do I want my life to be like in the future? And most importantly: Who can we really trust? Have you ever felt like that? Has something ever happened to you that made you change the way you think? I mean, have you ever felt like suddenly everything you thought about something or someone has changed, all because of one incident? Usually its something stupid too. Like something happened and this person you thought you knew said something completely unlike them, or they make you feel really bad about yourself and its not like them, even if they don't know it. If you haven't already figured it out, something like this happened to me yesterday and now I simply don't know what to do. I can no longer tell whether I can trust this person with my deepest, darkest secrets or if he's still the person I met a year and a half ago. I just wish I could relive that day and make everything normal again, or at least have some guidance about this. I just don't know what to do anymore.
Anyway, I'll stop now.

xo.

Another Day....Just what I need.... 04/03/2009

Heyy,

Well. My life is very crappy at the moment, just to let you know. I have a lot of stuff to say, but I don't know how to say it. And it's important too, for important people. So, if you have any ideas on how to fix this, please help!!

Anyway...I have to go to another dog adoption event tomorrow and they are so boring. Luckily there's a great park right next to the place with beautiful cherry blossoms so it should be alright (that's what I'm hoping anyway). Also, it's my boyfriend's birthday tomorrow, so if he ever reads this:
Happy Birthday Amaury! <3

That's about all for now, sooo...Bye!
