Tic Tacs

Heyy~!

Here is mine and Amaury's almost finished advert for English class. So at the moment we have the long and the short version and we need to decide which one to hand in. I'll post them below and please comment and tell me which one is better. Thanks!

Love, Life, Lies

Heyy~!

Today I'm just going to leave you with a few of my favourite quotations and sayings. Hope you like them...

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

“In love, it is better to know and be disappointed, than to not know and always wonder.”

You were born an original, don't die a copy.

The worst part about being lied to is knowing that you're not worth the truth.

“Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.”

Why is it that your friends are the ones you give everything to, you trust so much, but they are also ones that hurt you the most?

Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile.

The Kooks

Heyy~!

I wanted to tell you about this band that I'm currently falling in love with. They're called The Kooks and they have some amazing songs. My two favourites are 'Naive' and 'Ooh La' but some other good ones are: 'Seaside', 'You Don't Love Me' and 'She Moves In Her Own Way'. I would recommend searching them on youtube or something because their music is seriously addicting. Anyway, I'm going to bed now, bye!

The Notebook

Heyy~!

I wanted to tell you about one of the best movies ever made and it's one of my favourites. The movie is called 'The Notebook'. Some of my friends like it too but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes romance movies. After all, its the most romantic movie ever produced. Its an adaptation of a book and the main characters are Noah & Allie (played by Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams).


This movie made me cry and warmed my heart. There are some funny scenes too but the characters are so believable and you just want to follow their journey and feel what they feel. The best scene in the movie is where they kiss in the rain. This is what they say:

Young Allie: Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it's too late.
Young Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year.
Young Allie: You wrote me?
Young Noah: Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over
[kisses Allie]

Anyway, I definitely recommend it. Bye!

School & Holidays

Heyy~!

Today I was thinking about why our schooling system at international schools is so bad. I mean, we have holidays or long weekends all the time and I think its really a waste of our money. TIS is always pressuring us and our parents to dig into our pockets and fork out money for charities that we only hear about. We don't actually experience or know about fully. Even the Summer Bash that's happening soon. We go to school and not learn anything. What we're supposed to be paying for is education and solid foundations but all we're getting is fun and games. This Summer Bash that's happening was created by students but the teachers authorised it. That just goes to show how slack they are with trying to get us to actually learn something. If you ask me, the summer bash should be held after school or even on the last day when we're only cleaning up anyway.

Another thing I'd like to say is, next year for year eight its tradition to go to China for our feild trip and its so we can learn more for the China unit. But now they want us to go to Cambodia. I kinda think this is wrong. I mean, if we go to Cambodia we have to help out at the school there and everything but we won't be learning much and, besides, all of the year eights before us have gotten to go to China, so why not us? Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. Bye!

Mothers' Day, Swine Flu & Music Class

Heyy~!

Mothers' Day is coming up. Are you doing anything special for your mum? I know I am. I'm currently waiting for her to leave the house for a few hours so I can bake this cake that I found the recipe for on the internet. Unfortunately, however, she is being very difficult and is trying to find reasons to stay. And if you haven't already, maybe you should give some thought as to what you're going to do tomorrow.

Also, I know that its really important and all but I honestly don't see why people are freaking out so much over the swine flu. I mean hundreds of Americans die every year from the normal flu so shouldn't we be worrying about that? I mean, we should be careful and all but I wouldn't freak out too much. Its kind of disrespectful but I wanted to share with you something that I read on a flair on facebook. If you can't read it it says: People said a black man would be president "when pigs fly"...100 days after Obama took office...Swine Flu (I thought it was pretty funny...)

The last thing I want to tell you is about this task for music class. We have to write a song with lyrics and music and I'm finding it really annoying. I have the lyrics and the majority of music but there's this one verse that I cant get any music to fit. Its incredibly frustrating. Anyway...I might put up the final product in a couple of weeks if I'm happy with it. And again I'm sorry about the gap between my posts but I haven't been able to think of anything to write, hopefully this makes up for it. I'll let you go now, bye!
