I like several things

the sun on a cold day
the smell of my house
the pastry bit on cheesecakes
the night sky with no artificial lighting
the city, the life
the country, the natural
the colours of the rainbow
the joy when I make others smile
the idea of mini coopers
the feeling of hot water running down your throat
the taste of peanut butter sandwiches
the sound of crinkling plastic sleeves
the clicking of cameras
the smell of burning candles (like, actually)
the fulfilment when you do a good deed
the thought of freedom
the dreaming of a good night's sleep
the lyrics to real songs
etc

if you're a blogger who, like me, has hardly anything to blog about these days, unless we come across the occassional fun picture, or the occassional exciting event, I challenge you to attempt one of these:

10 day zombie apocalypse challenge

30 day harry potter challenge

30 day challenge about yourself

10 day meme challenge

10 things challenge (30 days)

30 days creative writing challenge

10 day facial expression challenge

10 day classic challenge

basically it will get you blogging every day for either 10 or 30 days, as you pour your brains and hearts onto a simple topic. good luck and get imaginative, fellow readers!

I'll start with the 10 day classic challenge :) because I'm not up for sacrificing an entire month.

DAY 1. A letter to someone you care about.

Dear Jeffrey / Pig

SUP LIL BROOOOSIS (we call each other brosis cus it's a mix of both brother and sister. get it hehe)
How was your Monday? Did you work hard at school? Did you bludge in maths again and read Bleach on your DET laptop? I will go on your laptop and stalk your history and dig up all the dirt you explore. Ew you dirtay boy! Only joking you are so so innocent with your Halo and COD. Please turn the volume down when you play, or I will turn up the volume of my iTunes.
You're currently upstairs munching away on some KFC like the Fat Pig you are. Booo you're not fat, I'm only kidding. There was a time when you were fat, and that time lasted for a few years. It wasn't fat obese fat, but fat baby fat and it was adorable. Now you've been growing and stretching vertically so all the fat has kind of disappeared. You da growing boy, eat lots of food, I mek lots of food foh you to eat, I mek yummay sandwich foh you okay?
My only request, reach 185cm please. You're only just over 10cm away. Growth spurt still to come in the next few years so don't lose hope.
When I think of all the memories we've shared, my head could just explode. That time when you all nighted with me and helped me complete my English assessment, that time when I had a fever and you left a note on my pillow saying Get Well Ruby, that time when I was crying over some silly issues and you came into my room and hugged me. You remind me everyday how important family is, but you're not only my family, but my bestest friend. I am so grateful to have a brosis like you.

Love you man,
Ruby / Chicken

Wooo ....
Turned 17 yesterday and I kind of had an epiphany. Remember back when you were a kid and birthdays would get you so excited? Remember when you used to have trouble falling asleep the nights before your special day? Remember when you were invited to a bowling/mini putt putt party and you'd eat icecream cakes? At our age no one does that anymore. And if you do, you will die old and alone because you still bother celebrating your birthday.

Exciting events from yesterday:

• Skyped with a dog
• Baked another cheesecake
• Made faces at Yeji
• Dressed up as Jigsaw

HAB DA YUM CHA DIS BRUNCH. SHO DERISHUS.

brings back the memories of real chinese food, in Shanghai, the mother city of all of China.
some happy snaps form my trip earlier this year (10/01/11 - 05/02/11), never got around to posting them. (I promise after this I will start studying conics)

Labels: food, loved ones, photography

a many thing post today

--------------------

firstly, donated blood today! or, attempted to anyway. I was so nervous, and the lady with the needle could tell and she was saying "it's alright it will only sting for 10 seconds then that'll dissipate and you won't feel a thing". so then she felt for my vein and she found one, and then she did the whole dabbing thing, then she was about to put the needle in and she goes "it's your first time so I recommend you don't look" so then I started full freaking out, in my head thinking

WHY CAN'T I LOOK WHY WHAT HAPPENS DOES SOMETHING REALLY DISGUSTING HAPPEN WHEN THE NEEDLE GOES IN IS THE NEEDLE REALLY BIG DOES IT MAKE A MASSIVE HOLE WTF WHAT HAPPENS.

and so my brain was full raging and my heart beating and I swear my hand around the stress ball was just pumping so hard that I started sweating and I was looking over at Jess like "wth I'm so scared."

she puts the needle in and I feel it go in, but it's okay that doesn't hurt, but once the blood is sucked out I started feeling really woozy and my tummy went strange and I wasn't even looking at the process because I'm terrible with blood. this is rare by the way, majority of people are fine with the blood getting taken out, my body is just weak.

and then she goes "uh oh, look at that leak, you're one of those." and I'm seriously thinking

WHATTTT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHAT WHAT FARK WHAT?! but I'm trying to act all calm and collected like the dope lil fly chick that I am and I go "oh, what's happening? what do you mean?"

and she's in the middle of explaining that I've got a good vein and all but it's not pumping enough blood or something and then ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NEEDLE FRIGGIN MOVES AND I ACTUALLY FEEL IT VIBRATE INSIDE MY ARM. and the woman calmly goes "oh! did you feel that?" and I'm like "ha .. ha ... ha yeah... ye.. yeah I did.. wha. what is it?" and she goes "well, the valve inside your vein yada yada yada *bio science stuff I don't understand" yada yada yada didn't like the needle because you've got small veins and this is a big needle, so then it tried to close around the needle, so it moved the needle around trying to get it out of your arm." and I'm just sitting there frozen on the chair going WTF WTF WADAFARK in my head and just panicking, but I was trying to look all yehhh watevsss isalll goooood im chiillll. but seriously though, my blood was tank enough to push a needle, pretty cool.

ANYWAY so then they had to stop taking blood from me otherwise I'd die or something (jokes I'm not really clear on it all) so I only got 50mL out when I should've donated 500mL and I felt so bad because my body failed me, but the woman was like "don't worry darling it's no one's fault, you came and you did what you could so that makes you a wonderful person. you did a great job today! you're 1 in 30 who donate, whereas the other 29 don't even bother to help." so that made me feel prattay speshal.

and then afterwards as soon as the valve started closing up, I got a bruise. my skin's super sensitive according to the woman so it just bruised immediately afterwards. my arm's still sore right now. if you're thinking about donating blood please don't worry about bruising, it only bruises if you're weirdly tank like me.

after that we were sent to the Hydration Centre/Room can't remember what it was called where we just sat and talked and had milkshakes and muffins and it was sho FUN. food makes the pain go away.

here are our arms afterwards! all bandaged and boooootiifull // jess, kriti, emma, me


had an amazing experience today and I'll definitely be going back, hopefully next time it works out. if you are over 16 and over 50kg please donate blood! even if you get freaked out at the thought it really is worth saving three lives for. don't let my story scare you, because I'm the 'victim' here and trust me, it was more fun than anything. you feel fantastic and super uber ruber fulfilled at the end. all you those donating?! good on you :)

who vandalised my Intuition booklet?! if I was there when you did it, my mind must have been in a completely different world because I have no memory of this //


lucky I noticed before I handed it in you ass.

I walk into my bedroom, just innocently strolling around looking for my school bag ready to get down and do some serious studying, when I look over at my bed and almost scream //


THAT... THAT THING. IS A BABY. like , a doll, but nevertheless A WHITE BABY UNDERNEATH MY SHEETS. I thought it was a real human head at first, but turns out it was just an act of mothertryingtobringoutthelittlegirlinmewhooncelikedplayingwithbabies.

LOVE - JAESON MA (FEAT. BRUNO MARS)

Verse 1
Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is. But I'm a tell you what true love is. Love is not what you see in the movies. Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene, you know what I mean? I'm telling you right now, true love is sacrifice. Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself, love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love. Love is when you lay down your life for another, whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister, its even laying down your life for your enemies, that's unthinkable, but think about that. Love is true. Think.

Verse 2
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres. 
Love never fails. Love is everlasting, its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time, love is the only thing that will last when you die, but ask the question why? Do you have love?

Verse 3
There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends. Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends? You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother, your father, or your best friends, but are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you? I'm going to tell you who did that, the definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love. The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow, hanging on a cross for your sin my sins, that is LOVE he died for you and me while we still hated him, that is love. God is true love, and if you don't know this love, now is the time to know, perfect love. 




-----------


the take home message.


God is love


-----------




A message to my dearest friends, people I know, friends on FB, strangers.


I need you to know I will always be here for you. although some days it may seem like I'm just being the heartless, dry, sarcastic person that I've labelled myself to be over the years, I honestly care. I do care and I wish I could show it every single day. Every single second even, you need to know that I care. When you need someone, anyone, even when you don't, I'll be there. Trust me when I say this.


Because that's love. love for each other and one another. love is pretty damn special. it's not just some term that is thrown around
'I think I love him'
it's not a term like that, love exists. even in our darkest times love exists. love never started, love will never end.




-----------




Reaching out to God silently has helped me.
I don't share my religious side with people. It's a personal thing, I'm glad I keep it personal.
It's a reflection.
I would like to start an anonymous blog, so I don't have to feel embarrassed about this. 


So I don't get anymore
'But you're not even Christian' comments back at me whenever I do something like pray, or get annoyed when someone says Jesus Christ or Oh my God etc.


So what if I like to remain quiet? Is it a bad thing? 
I believe, but I don't make a big deal about it. I don't want to make a big deal out of it. 
As long as I know and He knows, there is no deal that needs to be made.

Jeffrey proved his idiotic strange crazy self again today.
Waiting to be checked in to our motel room:

Jeff: I feel like stealing that Ford sign off that car. 

Me: I feel like stealing your face and chucking it in a bin.

MOST PEOPLE STOP THE CONVERSATION HERE. BUT NOOO MY BROTHER JUST HAS TO SAY STUPID THINGS. 

Jeff: Well I would pick it out of the bin, stick in back on, realise it's stinky, so I would take a bath.

We have some silly meeting in a few hours in regards to Year 12 (no, not more Hatton language), giving me just enough time to blog a little.

Should actually be jumping around at badmington and making some wicked shuttlecock moves, but Cherryl ditched me again and I have no idea what on earth she would ditch me for! But then again the oompa ditches everything for anything.

ON A SIDE NOTE special thanks to my wonderful friends: Jessica, Felicity, Usha and Sonia for your contribution to my VA projection. Thanks for sacrificing your entire lunch for me, and also 30 or so minutes into period 4. Thank you thank you thank you or else I wouldn't have gotten by assessment done and I would have stressed and burned myself out so badly that I would never ever pass.

Also, welcome Sue Kang to Hornsby Girls! I hope your first day was full of positive impressions. We will try to make you feel as welcome as possible. PS You're so pretty (:

After 30 minutes of tears and blood (not really) I managed to get my coloured contacts in!
I'm having a party at my place with 20 people and thought I might give 'looking nice' a go. So this is what I look like with GREY EYES.


Did I scare you?
It's really hard to tell. Stood 5cm from my mum and she was like ... what ... then I had to say dammit mum my eyes. Ohhhhhh!! WHY DO YOU HAVE CAT EYES!!

CATCHUP PART TWO

People, interpret this anyway you like. But I don't think anyone can actually tell me what to do.

But seriously,
What the fuck do I do ...

Young Soo Kim ... you are one funny maths teacher
You are even more englishly retarded than my school maths teacher :D

You have to be really be careful when it comes to these kind of questions

The funny bit is, he doesn't even realise he's saying it wrong :D
And also

Bacteria / per day

You have to be really intellectually up there to look at it first glance and go LOL THAT'S FUNNY. So yeh, sorry dumb people. Bacteria per per day? What?!
The funny bit is, he doesn't even realise he's making no sense at all :D

-----------------------

Today my mother discovered SUDOKU.
Since she only just started, obviously she sucks right?

Conversation:
ME: Mum, you are so slow, how could you be so slow? It's not that hard! Just put a 4 there. See? Understand?! Oh my goodness. No not there ... there!
MUM: ... Shut up.

LOL. Btw this was all in english, not shang. So it was even funnier, because her accent was such a LOL worthy accent.

Labels: loved ones, my da/um is a fob, school

I'm not sure what to blog about this time ... which is strange because I usually do.

Daffodil's Day was yesterday 270810. Pretty cool day, and we got stickers for wearing yellow! Jessica, Felicity and I were being gangster wearing hoodies and taking gangster luvos, and singing real gangster tunes.
iYiYiYi missing you missing you


see that shit on my hand in the first picture?
that was felicity being a douche and doodling on me.
she wrote: ruby loves Japanese people
she drew: a series circuit
anyone who knows me knows that's an absolute LIE
no one likes a liar

PS: can mobile phones get viruses? because I think mine just did.

-------------------------

Watching Blood Diamond. Never realised how amazing of an actor DiCaprio was.
It's a pretty intense movie - I just saw children having their hands axed off, and a mother getting shot, children doing the shooting, and slicing up of goats.

-------------------------

Know what else is intense?
FACKING INTUITION.
I pulled another all nighter (me and all nighters, I can never get enough ...) for business, then the next day I had a four hour extra lesson on parametrics; my nightmare. Sure mathematics is my best friend, but parametrics is t e r r i b l e. It hate me, I hate it, mutual relationship.

NOTE: this is sarcasm

-------------------------

Money I owe back:
Cherryl: $5.00
Felicity: $2.00
Jessica: $0.20

Any more? Likely. I have a Dori memory.

-------------------------

Also, I realised there was a lot of controversy revolving around my recent post on candid photos.
If you are truly offended by anything you see please write in on my tagboard and I will take a look. If you can't stand your face on my blog please let me know! I will remove it! I don't plan on being reported to the police for violation and defamation any time soon.

In Physics today we were talking about Anita. Can't remember about what, but yeh.
So anyway, we were saying how Anita and Davina sound realllyy stupid when they speak (except that Davina is stupid) and then Felicity goes

nah, you don't look stupid, just ... really obsessed with yourself

Great work Flick.
I don't think you made Anita feel any better, if anything, you made her feel worse.

:D

As much as I love intuition, us Hornsby Girls' have an extra PARAMETRICS class friday afternoon.
FOR FIVE HOURS.
OMGOODNESS.
FIVE HOURS OF PARAMETRICS.

If you think you're brave - go watch 1 guy 1 cup.
One man sticks a glass jar up his asshole, then it breaks, then his ass starts bleeding, then he has to take the broken shards of glass out, and then there's like a pool of dark red blood.

No I haven't seen it ...
I'm slightly intrigued to watch it though, after seeing Soulja Boy's reaction video!
