HALLO.

Bahh, been sick alot lately. Think I should see a chiropractor for my neck. Its really stiff and is really messing with everything. Kind of a blah day at school today. Saw Alice In Wonderland over the weekend!!!

Friday
Was so bored I went to bed at liek 9 z____________z

Saturday
Went to my friend, Saima's house at night. Turns out she's home for the week. Really random week for them to have Spring Break. lawl. We're planning on spending most of it together (:
She came back home with us and slept over so we could go see "Alice" the next day. Was supposed to be a big group: Anna, Jane, Me, Saima, and Mithi. But Mithi and Jane couldn't go. So sad.
But anyways, we stayed up till 3am watching the old school, 1951 Alice in Wonderland. Had seriously crazy dreams. Both of us.

Sunday
Went to see "Alice" at liek 11:30. I LOVED IT!! Johnny Depp was absolutely stunning. The whole movie was. Anna came back home with us after the movie and we all kinda vegged out in front of the TV watching "Friends"
Then Saima's parents came over to get her and we all stuffed our faces full of Biryani. Nothing like good ol' desi home cooked meals after a long weekend of no sleep XD
Then everybody left, and I stayed up doing homework and TRIED to watch the Oscars.....got tired and went to sleep instead, though >>;

Today was randomly blah.
Calabria's class was fun, though! We got this one kid to play the guitar and we went around the room and each sang a line. Good fun.
Went to Dunkin Donuts with Jackie today and got me some coffee and donuts and a flatbread sandwich. So yummeh and I'm still awake! AND I GOT MY AP ENVIRONMENTAL HW DONE!! :O!!

Tomorrow we start this crazy project for Calabria's class. We have to go and sit with completely random people and take notes on what they say and engage as little as possible. LOL.
We're becoming "wallflowers"
The project goes along with the book we just read in class, Perks of Being A Wallflower.
GREAT BOOK. Srsly. I recommend.

Oh, but all school life aside. Great news!
EPIK HIGH'S NEW MV IS OUT!! :D
I got the twitter update in class and was itching to watch it. So good. Gave me chills ></param>


love always,
Amaya

TA-DA!!! My first official review :D

Chance Pe Dance (2009)
Starring: Shahid Kapoor, Genelia D'Souza

The story centers on Sameer Behl, a young man that’s been struggling to enter Bollywood for four years. He’s left his home town of Delhi and traveled to Mumbai with stars in his eyes. Sameer is barely getting by in Mumbai. Managing on mere scraps of food, he keeps his clothes in his fridge (: He spends his day going from audition to audition to audition, and works with a postal service to pay for the necessities. During the dance portion of one of his auditions, Sameer meets Tina. Tina is an upcoming choreographer, with the talent to make it. Tina and Sameer run into each other a couple more times and their friendship becomes a supportive bond. Both are signed onto what is expected to be the biggest hit movie of the year respectively as choreographer and lead actor. The two are more than excited. Things take a turn for the worse, when Sameer is evicted from his small apartment for not paying rent. He gets fired from work for never delivering packages on time and always asking for his salary in advance. With no work and nowhere to live. Sameer is forced to live in his car and take up a job as a dance teacher at a school. To top things off, the director of the movie decides to hold a talent hunt for his new movie. He tells Sameer it was something the sponsors wanted him to do, so he did and it was nothing personal. After a breakdown and some other hardships, Sameer and Tina fall in love and Sameer makes up his mind to audition for the talent search. Of course, he makes it to the final round and wins.
For me, this movie was just a lame, uneventful, unimportant movie. One of the “not so hot movies” that Bollywood comes up with among the hundreds and hundreds that are released every year. The storyline didn’t do much for me. I’ll admit it renewed my dreams of one day becoming something in the entertainment industry as well, and maybe I’ll try my hand at auditions one of these days ;D But other than that the movie was completely average.
The songs were nothing notable. The first song in the movie was a bit catchy, but the rest of the songs were just ….blah. Nothing too great. The dance sequences are over done and unrealistic.
The only thing I enjoyed about the movie was the refreshing chemistry between Genelia and Shahid. Both were looking great. Genelia is really different looking and I like her overall. Loved her in Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na. Shahid has been looking more and more grown up and mature in all his latest movies. I like (:

SO!
I really like the actors, plot had potential, songs were annoying, movie was blah.

Acting/Chemistry: 6/10
Plot: 4/10
Songs: 2/10
Overall Movie: 3/10

Rating: PG
-beware. There are some random stupid scenes with some strong language in Hindi and they use the word "SHIT" very loosely. Other than that, it's quite the clean movie. There's a suggested kiss and maybe something more. But they don't show anything at all.

fail.

So I finally have internet again after....forever x____x
We moved houses, and my dad was super fail at arranging for us to have internet at the new house. But now we do ^^;
Haven't been able to keep up with the picture of the day without any internet >>
The new house is nice. Its a lot bigger than my old one, and there are three floors, instead of two (:
The last floor is actually the basement, and its all mine *___*
It's like its own little apartment with a bathroom and everything. And my dad says I can live there. Practically moved in already :D

So! I had quite the weekend (:


Saturday night was really eventful. The local GSA was hosting a Valentine's Day dance. And although I'm supportive of the idea and the people in charge are nice, I can't seem to bring myself to actually go to their meetings and events >>;
So I just wrote it off as another thing I wouldn't be going to. Until I got a certain txt. My friend, I shall refer to him as MyFavoriteDramaKid-MFDK for short, txted me saying he wanted to go but needed someone to go with him and was I interested. My plans for the night had been to either procrastinate my paper and play video games or do my paper. I decided I'd go with him to the dance. I wore a nice red dress and he wore a red tie to match me :3
I got complimented a couple of times and I felt good XD

BUT! MFDK's parents are a bit strict with their religious views and such. He hadn't told them it was a GSA event. Unfortunately, his dad found out. I had to pretend to be his girlfriend. His dad insisted on taking us to a movie and away from the sketchy dance. We left. MFDK felt bad, but I was feeling super awkward being at the dance. It wasn't my type of scene.

I lied to my parents and made up some story about why we were suddenly relocated from downtown to the local theater. It worked >>
Had to pretend to be MFDK's date the whole night XD
We decided to watch Avatar because he hadn't seen it, and I didn't mind seeing it again because his dad was paying :3
It was our first dates XD
HUZZAH for random turns of events.

Sunday, my mom had this annoying party thing at her house. Why? Because my dad agreed to it FOR my mom. To make matters more annoying, one of the aunties invited a whole bunch of other aunties. My mom's went crazy about it and cleaned the house and made food and stuff. AND she kicked me out of the basement for the party. Me? Pissed? Why, yes. That would be correct.

Today, we turned in our PostSecrets. The objective of the assignment was to write down a secret of yours and anonymously turn it in. Calabria liked mine, but said he wished I'd elaborated more....well he was speaking out loud to the whole class because he didn't know whose it was :P
But...I feel like I should've. I had a chance to speak out more about my secret, I should've grasped it. But I'm still afraid. It's become such an integrated part of my life, I don't know how I'll be able to let it go.

-sigh-

AP Classes = My worst high school decision EVAR.

Especially seeing as I probably won't even be going to college in the frickin country or even be here next year.

BAH!

-Amaya

Okay, SO! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

woot!

Well, the year kicked with a bland start. :/
Was at a friend's house and we were practically asleep listening to Ellen DeGeneres talk about frustrating toilet paper. But we woke up in time to run downstairs and watch the ball drop on tv. That always gets me super excited for some good or bad reason :3

So, my New Year's Resolutions:

- If I have a problem with something, to hell with subtle hints.
- "Remember, procrastination is like masturbation. In the end you're just screwing yourself" slightly gross, but ultimately true -_____-;
- I will keep up with my LJ better.
- Get into shape (I'm so unhealthy)
- Do something that forwards my passion for singing (audition, get singing lessons, etc.)
- Join a club and stay with it
- Make more friends
- Figure out college shit
- Help the little brother get into NCSSM
- get a real job


and that's all for now. PFFT. Won't even keep up with half of these X)

Also, to make things easier for myself, I'm going to upload a picture of the day.
I'll document the day, and pick a picture to upload. That way, I don't necessarily have to write something everyday and I'll be able to update more regularly (:

And so, I present my first ever picture of the day, and first picture of the year:



It's me and my mom exactly 30 seconds after the ball dropped XD
Here's to hoping that 2010 brings good luck, good fortune, good friends, good memories, good times, good food, good grades, and an overall good year.

-Amaya

SO! I definitely am bad at keeping up with this. Thinking of starting this up as a drama review / ep recap thing. lol, I'm always looking for a good one and can never find one. :/
Will talk to my friend and figure out what's going on.

So, finished another drama today~
Yay! Finished watching 미남이시네요!
Starring: Lee HongKi, Park ShinHye, Jang GeunSuk, and Jung YongHwa.

I loved it :D
It reminded me of too many dramas along the way, and I felt that they should've tried harder to not be just like "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince" because they really were. Park ShinHye can be adorable and annoying. I really don't understand her being a boy. at. all.

bah, this is turning into a review already. BAD.

Uhh, so I caught something funny by running back and forth in the rain on practically no sleep. Been sick for four days now @_______@
Not looking forward to all the crap I get to make up once I get back :/

I felt happy with life today. Although that could be my fever speaking. Need more sleep x____x

Oh well, 19 days to my birthday ^^v
Super Excited.
-Amaya

-sigh-

I told myself this wouldn't be a rant blog :/
But I can't help myself right now. SO!
Yesterday, my AP US History teacher decided to let the entire class know that I needed to bring my grade up and that she'd called my dad.
Okay, so uhh, its MY grade...doesn't it make sense for me to have an understanding of what MY grade probably is?! Does it make ANY sense for her to say that in front of the entire class?! I personally felt, that if she wanted to say something, she could easily have called me over to her desk and told me what she wanted to.
Then, I realized that she said she'd called my dad. As in, she already did it. Today, I was supposed to go to the International Festival going on at the convention center. I've been super excited and wanted to go for ....two weeks now. I'm sitting there letting it sink in that I probably wasn't going to be allowed to go at all. I seriously wanted to either bang my head against the desk repeatedly or get up and throw the desk at her head. DX
So I told my dad that I'd get all of my work in by this Wednesday.....its ALOT of work. But no, he decides to tell me that I have to have everything done by MONDAY.  I told him it wasn't possible and he just told me to shut up and stop making excuses. Then he goes on to talk about how I'm constantly running away from my problems. I'm not. I was planning on telling him all about my bad grade on Sunday. But my jerk of a teacher decided to beat me to it and ruin my weekend. I get the feeling she enjoyed knowing that she ruined my weekend. I also think she was a little perplexed at my grade on our latest quiz.
I GOT A 93! WOOT!
I got the feeling that she was like "what the hell? this girl doesn't do the work but gets good grades?!"
Hey. I'm smart. I know so, I'm not being egotistical or anything, I just am. But I'm lazy to the point where it could be diagnosed as some disease T__T
Anyways, after a long shouting match with my dad, I finally told him I didn't want to go. I think he has some issues. 

I get migraines. Sometimes its from exhaustion, but most of the time when I'm exhausted I just get a fever....I get fevers really really easily.
But migraines, I get migraines from too much emotional stress. You know, shouting angrily, crying, etc.
My dad seriously tells himself I don't get migraines. I have to take really strong meds to counter the headaches and after wards I'm like...brain dead for hours. So I barely ever take the meds, but GAH. He makes me so mad. I honestly don't know how on earth I'm going to be able to live here after I'm 18 and have the ability to leave.
So anyways, I go upstairs to my room and sit there struggling with my migraine and thinking about whether or not to take the medicines, I decided not to. I come back downstairs and my parents went to look at patio furniture, so they weren't home. I get myself some day old pizza and soda and watch some Digimon (season 2) and calm down.  My dad comes home and tells me that if I really wanna go to the festival he'll take me for like an hour. Welcome back, Migraine. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! My mom asked me if I really wanted to go or not. My dad told her "Didn't you hear her? She said she didn't want to go" Is he RETARDED?! I'd been talking about how badly I wanted to go and how excited I was to go for TWO WHOLE WEEKS. He did this to me when I wanted to go the Anime Convention, too.  I don't care though. I'm going to the convention this time around no matter what.

AUGH. My eyes are like....watery on their own. So now I feel like I'm on the verge of tears for no reason. And staring at the computer screen is hurting my eyes, so I'll end it here.
Sorry for already having a rant -___-;
I've just never been so mad in my entire LIFE, and I had to share my good news about not taking the meds. That took alot of self-control.
yay me. not.
