so lately the news has been full of Michael Jackson's death, which has impacted greatly on many people, including me.
but not because i loved him and was crazy over him, but because it's a reality check for me.
Sure he was relli famous and two generations have loved him, but why is there so much focus on him on the news? There's barely anything on Farrah Fawcett or other people who have died or are struggling right now.
Parents tell me "oh you probably don't know how famous he was and how he changed so many people's lives."
Please, I know how famous he was.
People die everyday.
People are suffering everyday.
But when Michael Jackson dies, quote my brother, the whole world has to stop. Why?
No, i'm not saying anything against Michael Jackson's death, of course it is sad, but let's not take this as a chance to mourn his exit, but a chance to celebrate his life and ours.
People die everyday.
People are suffering everyday.
And here we are, sitting in our comfy homes, taking every little thing for granted while people all around the world are homeless, lying in their death beds, battling against cancer, or don't even know if they'll live to welcome another day.
why are we so selfish?
always complaining about how boring life is, how boring school is, how the net is capped, how the computer crashes, how theres no food left in the pantry to eat.
let's make the most out of everything.
Smile at everything you have, give, or are given.
Remember that some people can't even imagine the luxuries or previleges that we have.
Our deepest problems are nothing to them. Our lowlights are their extreme highlights.
We have no idea wat's going on in the world.
We have no idea wat's going to happen.
I could step outside my house and get killed. You never know.
So, Live life to the fullest and don't have any regrets.

did everyone have a good long weekend?
i know i did =D
everything was perfect except finding out that tennis wasn't on. <.<
i still want my sleep back!
anywai so we had like the best dinners which I MADE on saturday and sunday.
saturday was STEAK and stuffed potatoes...yummmm
sundai was pasta with PUMPKIN SOUP =D
yumyumyumm
awesum stuff.
i also rented SEVEN POUNDS and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
whoever's reading this, if anyone, you HAVE to watch seven pounds.
its such an AWESUM movie.
it relli makes you appreciate life a bit more and argh its so good.
so basically the story is...hmm...
will smith's character is trying to rid himself of his guilty conscience so he decides to do something that will change the lives of seven strangers forever.
there's no other way i can describe it without giving away the plot so yeh..
anywai go watch it because its relli relli awesum.
its quite predictable but will smith is a great actor and the story of this is awesum.
btw did i mention its from the director of PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS which makes it automagically awesum.
the curious case of benjamin button however, was a bit of a let down.
the concept is very interesting, based on a short story that was written ages ago, where a man is born with the physical features of an 80yr old man, although here it was a baby with wrinkled skin, arthritis and all these other old people handicaps. it wasa bit very long (2hrs and 40mins) and you kinda get bored in the middle. i kept looking at the dvd player just to see how much more time was left. seriously i mean they drag it on sooooo much its not funni.
they also used the idea of narration through a diary or an old person recounting her story. thats just a bit overused don't you think? ==
although there are some very funni bits like when the old man repeatedly tells him
"did i ever tell you i got struck by lightning seven times?"
followed by him saying what he was doing when he got struck then a brief footage in black and white and its soooo hilarious.
btw i watched NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 like the sunday after camp and that was also a bit of a let down.
you can still watch it but you probably might be thinking..."this isn't comedy?"
because while some parts are quite funni, most of the potentially funni parts are so overused. like they just keep dragging it on and its like "dude. its not funny after you say the same thing like 10 times."
and they also have repeated gags from the first movie like when they show the miniature ppl do something so epic and they zoom out and its like nothings happening.
so basically
you HAVE to watch seven pounds
you SHOULD watch the curious case of benjamin button, but you don't have to if you don't want to
and you CAN watch night at the museum 2 but do yourself a favour and don't waste too much money on it
anywai i have to go do english now.
stupid poetry analysis.

well that was a waste of time...
yesterday i got off the bus thinking
"yay! long weekend! i can sleep in and stuff!"
then at night i remembered:
i have tennis at 9.30 tomoro so i have to wake up earli...
so todai i got up, ate a maccas breakfast, got all ready and left home for tennis.
when i get there?
there were like no cars, noone playing tennis, reception office is closed.
i see a couple of people wandering around completely clueless.
so i get my dad to ring up the place and the answering machine goes something like this:
"There is no tennis on today, the weekend, or the public holiday"
wattheheck!?
why didn't they tell us this before!?
i didn't go last week cuz i was tired from camp, but they could've called?
i could still be sleeping right now! that's so not fair.
i want my sleep.
and that reminds me.
the people in that office are quite slack.
last week i called to tell them i wasn't coming:
me: "...yeh well i can't come tomoro because i just got back from camp and im still really tired"
guy: "well, you can sleep can't you? then you won't be tired tomoro, right?"
me: "uhh...no i don't think so..."
guy: "i mean you're young so if you sleep you won't be tired anymore tomoro. you're telling me you can't come because you're tired form some camp? i mean i dunno, but that's a bit of a lame excuse don't you think?"
me: "uhh well...no, i don't?"
i mean wattheheck. i wanted to yell at him or sumthing. he has no idea wat we did at camp and he thinks my excuse is lame. the only reason why i didn't yell at him was because i was TIRED. FROM CAMP. and i think masterchef was on soon too..
anywai if i yelled at him i'd probably be like:
"wait a second, you don't even know wat we did at camp alright. it wasnt your normal 'fun activities' camp. it was a duke of ed camp and we hiked around 18km up and down really steep cliffs and hills for like 2 days. doesn't sound that bad does it? but i was carrying a 13kg bag and i didnt get any sleep for those two nights. my shoulders and my legs are aching like mad, so you think i can sleep tonight and just rid of all that pain from those two days?! i don't think so. why don't you stop being so assuming otherwise i might just drop out of this and go to some other nicer tennis place. there goes 15 bucks every week."
because seriosuly he just wants money from me i dont think he cares about me actualli playing tennis, as long as i go and pay every week.
so yeh...they owe me a few hours of sleep.
anywai, who watched masterchef yesterday?
i love the masterclass because its the onli time in the entire week where its not dramatised (thank gosh). and also because the stuff they cook is so yummy- well, looks yummy.
last week they made that red wine sauce steak and golly i wanna make that.
yesterday they made uhm lobster linguine, lemon cupcakes with a lemond curd and icing, and awesum roast chicken with potatoes. i wanna make ALL OF THAT.
my mum says she'll buy a pasta turner for me so i can make pasta =D
cuz i wanted to make pasta ageeees ago but she never said anything.
now she's like "we should enrol together in some cooking classes. and i'll buy all the machines you want as long as you use them and cook good food."
OMGSH im so happy now =D
we might make the lobster todai, or watever. i dunno because throughout the entire episode yesterday, my mum was like 'oh we should make that on saturday....oh we should make that sunday! oh YOU CAN MAKE THAT ON MONDAY!'
but we havent bought any ingredients so i don't think it's gonna happen.
one day we're gonna go city and eat some good seafood over there.
i love the stuff there because im a person that doesn't like seafood unless its eaten in the city.
seriously i hate it when my mum cooks prawns cuz she buys them from the asian fish stores that smell because they're nowhere near fresh.
for me to say that i love the prawns at the sydney fish markets (which i ate during our cooking excursion), that's definitely saying alot.
well i hope everyone has an awesum long weekend.
btw we're getting english back on tuesday i think. fingers crossed everyone.

i've never been so grateful before.
coming back from Duke of Ed practice, let us all be grateful.
camp has made me realise many things: my life is awesum.
-flushable, clean toilets
-noice hot showers
-electricity
-warmth
-comfy bed
-tap water that doesnt taste like blood/metal
-good supply of good food
-transportation
while the hike was exhausting, strenuous and agitating, there are tons of things i just thought of that we should be relli grateful of
-we had a guide who knew like hundreds of ways to get to one place (we are so dead in duke of ed where we have to nav ourselves)
-we had a working bag to carry all our stuff in
-we had supporting straps. even though half of them didnt work im pretti sure it would've sucked to have no waist strap
-we had a harness on while doing HIGH ROPES cuz golly that was scary
-we had campfires!! =D
gotta love camp.
