hola ;)

Kind of abandoned the old blog over the past few days - sozzers! School is quite time consuming unfortunately!

<< listening to the song 'Left my Heart in Tokyo', hence the title. Also Pixie Lott's 'Boys and Girls' :) I'm in a very poppy mood today! I've suddenly become obsessed with the Jonas Brothers too!!! lol!

Nothing much is new... nothing show-stopping or mind-blowing going on... although I worked out today it is 5 weeks and 6 days til I'm 14! Starting to plan the party already!! Hahaha

I want to have a boy-girl party at my house but not so sure how well that'll go down with the folks. Anyone have any party ideas?

toodles! xoxoxxo

HIIIIIIIII!!

School yesterday.. it was a half day, we just stayed in our form room and caught up with eveyone, got our timetables, paid our £20 for books, a few document wallets and 'printing costs'. Yeah right. It's a RIP OFF!! Plus we got our timetables. Double Physics followed by double Chemistry on Tuesdays. Fun.

Off today and then it officially starts tomorrow... bye bye summer!!

Guess what?!! I FINALLY made a video and uploaded it to ChickLitChicks2. If you want to see me (in person!! wow!) reviewing two books I read last week then search chicklitchicks2 on YouTube. Or don't if you would rather keep me as a mysterious blogger with no face...

Today is a chill day for me :) do u want to see the agenda? Well I'm going to write it down anyway.

1. shower (it's 12.15pm now.. but I'm on MSN so I'll probs do that around 12.45..)
2. get dressed
3. begin exercise regime (lol. it was in KISS magazine. Tone up in two weeks, apparently!)
4. read over notes from last summer's exams (coz my brain has rusted).
5. chill (watch TV or a movie or something..)
6. bath time (with new Sugar mag :P)
7. beddie byes!! at 9.30! Need to be fully refreshed for school in the morning!

Toodles xoxox

OKKK... I really really really am going to make a vid for chicklitchicks2. I can barely call myself a member. Check us out & subscribe pleasies! Search chicklitchicks2 on YouTube.

Only a few more days of summer! Btw I mean the summer holiday, weather hasn't exactly been too summer-esque. It's sunny today but rainy and for some reason my hands are freezing.

This weekend I'm going to do a sort of review of my summer, the Songs of the Summer (renouned award. The songs that receive should be extremely honoured), what movies I saw, the best parts, what my friends and I did, etc. etc.

Just a quick post today! Have a nice weekend.

hiii!!

back from Donegal - amazing - but tomorrow I'm going to dundalk for a week. Might be able to use my techno grandad's laptop though..

Donegal was so good, but it was even better to see my little cousin Aisling and my aunty. They live in San Diego so we don't get to see each other too often. She is the CUTEST thing ever! I love her so much :)

Lots of things to do when I'm back - got to get my Belfast summer on! Including posting a video for YouTube channel chicklitchicks2 - if you haven't checked it out, where have you been? In a place with no Internet connection? Yeah? Well, fine. But check it out now!!

I read a ton of books while away so I'll chatter away about them :)

SUMMER!!! IT'S SUMMER!! WOOOOO!!!

There's something about summer that is so.. I dunno. It just makes people happy. Doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing. Even the word sounds happy! :)

Too bad it's a bit cloudy today! haha! That's Ireland for you! The sun is peeking out through the grey though so hopefully it'll turn out to be a nice day.

Yesterday school ended around 12-ish (I don't use a watch. I live in the moment ;P) and me and the crew (lol) went to the park and messed around, then went to LaserQuest - which seems to be turning into our thing, us nerds! - I came 3rd again! Then got ice-cream and chips, eaten in that order, and 2 big cartons of apple juice for 80p each :)

It was a gorgeous day and we were all exhausted from tramping around everywhere so much!

In the half day of school we had yesterday we watched the end of 'Life is Beautiful' or 'La (something) Bella'. It's Italian and it's SOO good. I don't mind subtitles so I loved it. Seriously. It you haven't seen it rent it now!! It's about the WWII - and I know you're thinking, oh no, not another war movie, but it's about this guy who's Jewish so he and his son have to go to a worker camp. His wife isn't Jewish but pretends to be so she can be with her husband and son. So the guy tries to turn it into a game for his 6 year old son, saying that they have to get points through doing things and the prize is a tank. It's really funny and sad and amazing.

And some people started throwing Haribos (alight, I started it!) and someone chucked one RIGHT IN MY EYE. RIGHT IN THE SOCKET. And it hit me really hard too! My eye sort of closed automatically and I was screaming 'I've been blinded!!' so my friend lent me her sunnies to wear coz my eye was all bloodshot and looked like I'd been crying in one eye, or I had hayever and someone put an eyepatch over my left eye but shoved grass in the right. You get the picture.

Anyway, if anyone asked me why I was wearing sunglasses inside, I told them sorry, I had been partially blinded by a Haribo and need them on for medical reasons.

It is still really sore actually! It's painful looking at my computer screen. See the sacrifices I make for you people??! LOL

I'm so looking forward to the summer. Have a lovely day :)

-went back to hers and we all got dressed up
-went out to nandos
-slept over at hers

:D

SATURDAY - another of my bezzie's bday party. the previous bday girl is part of our group too so it was like a big extended party! :)

-got ready
-picked up by 2nd girl's mum
-bowling (2nd :D)

-W5 (lol!! it's not just for kids!! ok??!!)

It was a really fun weekend :) AT W5 my two friends and I were watching this demo of this guy doing experiments with stuff like baking soda & vinegar etc. We were a bit hyper so I put my hand up to be a volunteer with two other little seven year olds or something!! lol!! We were making these rocket things in little camera film capsules and mine SOO went the highest!! I was so proud (lol)

hope you all had a nice weekend!

four and a half days of school!

music therapy
don't forget - demi lovato

OK - here's the plan to get out of sports day.

1. Ask straight out.

Done - it didn't work.

2. Bribe

I told our classroom assistant that I'd give her 3 pieces of chewing gum if she could mark my name off the 100m sprint.

She's 'tried' apparently but 'can't do it'.

3. Beg

Please please please x100

This is the phase I'm on.

4. Threaten

I don't want to have to go to this but, if I have to, I will stab her with a compass.

5. Just don't show up

I think this is the one most likely to work... I'm going to run away and hide behind a bush until the running is over...

Anymore suggestions? Personally I think it's foolproof.

Oh!! I just thought of a new idea!! If I tell my form tutor I don't believe in the metic system and am strongly opposed to running 100 metres he may have to give in..

Soo, I'm enjoying this lovely Friday evening, browsing through the Urban Outfitters sale with the windows wide open, blogging about my life, trying to avoid studying.

Heylo

Blog makeover?

Do you like it?

I thought of the name in English. We're doing advertising, and we have to think of a company name, product and make an ad. I'm doing kooky jewellery, coz I do actually make it. Go to labels at the bottom and click 'make your own...' to have a look at some pics of the jewellery I've made.

I don't like the way all the little things are at the very bottom. But maybe that's just my computer? Please tell me if it comes up like that for you!!

Anyhow.. my friend and I were trying to think up company names. For a joke I said 'Rainbow Spit' but then I thought 'Rainbow Juice' and it's pretty good, I think! So I used it has my new blog name!!

Funny how when I was thinking of a new blog name I got nothing, but when I forgot about it I got one.

Wanna hear something WEIRD that happened to me yesterday??

I knew you would.

When I got home from school yesterday, there was this big box package addressed to me. I hadn't ordered anything so I thought it might be a (very) early or (very) late birthday present from one of my America-dwelling relatives.

Soo I waited til my mum got home in case it was a prezzie and I wasn't supposed to open it. But she hadn't heard anything.. so we opened it and inside was this Rowenta Elite (models) hairdryer and rotating hairbrush that dries your hair and gives you beach babe waves at the same time :)

SHOCK! HORROR!! My extremely trusting mother accused me of using her credit card to buy it. I hadn't - obvs - and she didn't really believe it either but really it was the only possible explanation. Besides - why would I order a curl-making hairbrush? I have curly hair. I would have bought ghds ;)

Anyway, there was no sender information on it at all. It said 'marketing sample request' on the side of the box, but it was all free etc.

Last night I did a quick amazon search. OMG. Tje hairbrush is £50. And the hairdryer is around £30.

£80 worth of hair stuff - sent to me for free?!!

I told my dad this morning and he went all solicitor on me and told me to email the company who shipped it over to me.

Sooo I have.

But still. It's weird.

I hope I get to keep it! I feel like a celeb who gets freebies.

muse - map of the problematique

fiiinally!!

I did my violin grade 4 today. It went fine. Not distinction good but not failing bad (hopefully!).

I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. Pieces went good, scales fine... aural OK except the examinor played a little extract and asked me to describe 'the mood and character'. I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to say, and after I mumbled a few things about minor keys and detatched to smooth notes - he laughed and said 'you haven't said anything about the mood or character yet!' so I decided to laugh it off (only way) and say 'sorry, I don't know how to answer that!'

Cringe. 

At least the thing's over.

Unfortuneatly in the life of a teenager when something stressful ends another happens. In this case it's exams.. even though they're not for a few months some teachers have already mentioned it.. ;(

On a more postive note - one more week left of school til Easter hols! I'm going to Spain - yay!

listening to my sis's miley cyrus 'breakout' CD.

I can't wait...to POST again!

HEY!

Look who's on the computer!

(me)

My week - same old. I need to make my normal days more exciting. 

Therefore, I don't have all that much to write. Or, if I do, I've forgotten, because whatever funny/random/sad thing that happened to me on a certain day, I can't write about on the same day, 'cause of this VIRUS!!!!!!

At least it's Friday :)

listening to She Move's In Her Own Way - by the Kooks

Happy Pancake Tuesday!

We made them this morning in H.E. I made about 7 - lol. But they weren't big crépe ones :(.

Is the accent supposed to be the other way on crépe? Anyhow.

Then had more for tea!

I will never eat another pancake again.

Well. For a while.

Eggs, milk and flour equals pancake power. :D

I'm skipping lots of lines in this post. My French teacher would be happy. She makes us do 'good book' homework on alternate lines, because it's 'easier to mark'. Big fat waste of trees in my opinion!

Sacré bleu!

Lent starts tomorrow - oh no. I'm off all junk food, but that could be a little unrealistic...

Perhaps only chocolate? Because choc is really the only junk that I eat.

I dunno. I'll probably change it at least three times over Lent!

There's a sharp shooting pain in my left knuckles.... hmm...

Latersss!!

listening to: The Script album

I reaally need a new book.

You know, a big fat one, that I can get completely lost in for a few days..

In case you didn't know, I'm a bookworm. 

Does anyone have any recommendations? Teenage novels? I like a good story :P

Sozzies that I haven't posted in a few days.

listening to: If You Can Afford Me - Katy Perry

Morning!

Sunday the 15th here - 11.39am

Happy Valentine's Day - for yesterday :P

I don't have a boyfriend or anything (woop! single ladies!) but I still like V-Day.

I made buns with Love Heart sweets on them xD. Yumm.

Then had a sleepover with one of my bezzies. We chilled and watched movies and nattered away all night! What's more fun?

On Friday (the 13th..freakaay) I went shopping - WOO! And I spent £70 on a pair of jeans and trainers!! Splashed out!! OK, so it may not be all that expensive to some of you, but I'm only 13 for flips sake. And I've had that money since October - it had to be spent.  Babycham trainers - £30 - Schuh.

Cool aren't they? Lol!

I can't find a pic of the jeans - but they are dark, skinny, with some gold detail, £40 from River Island.

Did anyone see Miley Cyrus on Saturday Night Takeaway last night? She was singing Fly On the Wall and forgot a big chunk of lyrics out of the second verse! That would be so embarrasing. And then when she was done she was smiling and waving etc but she thought the camera was off her and mouthed 'I forgot the words!' to someone beside her. Awwk. But lol.

Hope you had a nice weekend! No school tomorrow - yess!

I am listening too... The Fear by Lily Allen.

I couldn't help myself.

I've caught the Gossip Girl bug!

Look, it was just on. I didn't mean to choose it on On Demand. I wasn't supposed to watch four episodes in a row. 

But I love it!

It's so cool! And who is the Gossip Girl?!?

I'd never seen it before - lol. I'd heard of it and everything, I've read interviews in mags with Blake Lively (Serena in GG), my friends occasionally bring it up...

The boys in it are pretty cute, too. That helped with the whole addiction thing.

I've started watching it from series 1. How many series are there? I. Want. Them. All.

So, I've kiiinda worked out a basic nice/mean thing.

Serena - nice, well she tries to be nice, but she has just come back from boarding school and kin d of expects things to be exactly where they left off. She's popular and everyone knows her name.

Blair - mean! Oooh I hate her. But I love her. She's acting all cold towards Serena, her bezzie. Popular.

Dan - nice, but no-one knows who he is! He bumped into Serena one day and when Serena had to quickly think on her feet to get out of a party, she pretended she had a date with him, and they are now going out. :)

Nate - I'm not sure. He's fit, though. Blair's boyf, but he has a crush on Serena.

Chuck - meeean. He's all horrible and sleeps with like four women a day.

Jenny - Dan's sis. Freshmen at the school. Nice.

Gossip Girl - or mystery girl... as no-one knows who she is. She has a website and everyone gets all the juice from it.

They're all the characters that are pretty significant in the first few episodes.

In the words of the gossip girl - you know you love me! Ex oh ex oh!

I'm listening to When Did Your Heart Go Missing by Rooney.

Kate xox

Oh yeaah.

Off school for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday! Yesss!!!

My concert last night. Was good, but I'm in the string orchestra, and the rest of the orchestras all sound way cooler than us, because they have brass and woodwind.

The Youth Chorale sang La Bamba. Was 'mazin! I'm listening to it now. The Los Lobos version, obvs!

School was, you know, school. We got cake in Maths, though, because it was Hammy's birthday. (Hammy is Mr.Hamilton, my maths teacher, btw). Yummo. 

I'm going shopping on Friday..woop woop. And it's SERIOUS shopping too. I'm going outfit buying with two of my friends, we're starting at 12pm sharp and won't be finished 'til around 5 I'd say. I've made a list of things to buy!! I've never done that before!! 

Just YouTube-ing. 

I already said what I was listening to..hehe. In case you forgot it's La Bamba by Los Lobos. ;)

I'm so chuffed.

Fashionably Late nominated me for a Lemonade Award!!!

That's two!!

4.) My Pink Sprinkled Blog. Kate is an absolutely "fabbity fab " blogger from England. Kate shares her wisdom, chatter [my fave], DIY's, and other musings with a great writing flair. My favorite post by Kate is Get it done, girlfriend!!! wow, that post captured my life :]

OK, OK, she made a teeny mistake, I'm from Northern Ireland, not England. But whatever, she's so nice!

I'm going to do that Lemonade Award. It defo gives me more confidence with blogging.

Nearly mid-term, once I get through tomorrow, I will be free Thursday - Tuesday!!

Woop woop xD

I've got this orchestra concert thing tonight. I play the violin, I think I've mentioned that before...

Concert dress: (girls)

White blouse

Black skirt (knee length)

Black shoes

Black tights (optional)

I'm going to make it as funkaay as poss. I might add a black belt around the shirt, with berry-red lips and nails, and smokey eyes. Yess. Who says concert dress has to be dull?!

I'm listening to Our Song by Taylor Swift. I really like her at the mo. How could Joe Jonas dump her by phone?!?

Boys.

Laterz, alligatorz ;)

Hey hey

The fabbity fab author of Pouty Baby's Nonsense has nominated me for a Lemonade Award!

Aw shux, thanks Pouty xD. Her comment underneath my name was so nice. I'm not one to boast, but...

1. I nominate Kate, in Belfast, author of My Pink-SprinkledBlog! This is a brilliant young lady of 13 who writes about things of substance, and she can turn a phrase. My favorite Kate-post is "Labels. Ah They Suck" because it gives me true hope for our future.

How lovely is she?!

OK, so the main point of this post is: 'Do you want me to post a pic of myself?'

Pouty left another lovely comment saying she would love to see me without my braces, but I don't have to obvs because there are a lot of weirdos out there. 

That's true. In school we saw all this creepy vids for Internet Safety day or something. They were seriously freaky. 

Anyhow. Do you want me to? Because I wouldn't mind or anything, all of you seem pretty genuine. Although maybe that's the plan, mwah ahaha. Just kidding, just kidding. 

I still like the idea of people reading my blog and not knowing what I look like. The whole blog illusion type thing.

Whenever you've been reading someone's blog for a while, then see a pic of who's words you've been reading, it's such a strange feeling. Or when you read a really good book, then saw what the authour looks like half way through. You can't help imagining the authour writing it. Do you even know what I'm talking about? 

Although if enough people say yes I will defo put one up.

At the mo I can't stop listening to Love Story by Taylor Swift xD

I GOT MY BRACES OFF!!!

Yaaaaay!!!!

Just one year and a few months of train-tracks was so worth my big grin right now - my teeth are lovely and straight and clean and bright and there's no over-bite and..... :D

More fabu news - It snowed reeally heavily today! I know it's been deep in England for a while but this is the first time it's laid (layed?) today - everything is so white and beautiful.

The ice chills my hands

Snow gently lands on my hair

Beautiful white

I walk to school, listen to music and make up haiku at the same time. Talk about multi-tasking!

I was going to get a lift, but traffic was not moving at all, so I faced the blizzard of delicate yet sharp snowflakes and arrived at school with soaking wet hair and shoes. 

It took me 40 minutes to get to school, rather than 15. Although that snowball fight may have had something to do with it...

At the start of the morning, the amount of people in my year was equal to the amount of people in my class on a normal day.

Buses were hours late, and some people stayed at home coz they couldn't actually get to school! There wasn't much point in coming in, really, we just sat and chatted and iPod-ed with a science movie on in the very distant background.

I left halfway through maths to go to the orthodontist, but didn't go back afterwards 'cause I had a headache after. I won't give you the details, but at one point I actually thought I was going to cry and was gagging a bit when he made a mould for the retainer I'm getting tomorrow. I'm not one to make a fuss, though, and if you have braces don't be scared about getting them off, it's really not that bad. And it's so worth it!

I've decided at the end of every post I'm going to say what I'm listening to at the mo, what with me being a serious music junkie and all. So right now The Saturdays - Issues is on repeat.

Big love
