Christmas

Well i haven't had much chance these few months updating my blog as I'm rarely at home in front of my laptop as most of my days are taken up with tuition lessons to help boost my grades especially science.
Christmas has just gone a few days ago and this year its different with no relatives coming over and my grandma spending Christmas at my uncle's. This means less fun, moreover it's more quieter. It's better when all my cousins and that come round because we share alot of fun. However, the highlight of my christmas is my new laptop i got and my mam and dad's wonderful cooking of christmas dinner. Their cooking never fails and gets better every year. The day edned quite quick with me getting up late for the day and going to bed early. Yep, i was very tired.
After christmas, nothing much happened really but yesterday i did go out with my sister for some bargain hunting and ice skating. We went ice skating first which was fun but tricking since the last time i went was about 2 or 3 years ago. My skills of ice skating decreased but towards the end i got them back and could ice skate decently. after ice skating @ LIFE , we went shopping at Eldon Square. There were loads of sales but i guess there wasnt anything that caught my eye so i went home empty handed with the hope of buying things but didn't. My sister bought a nice cardigan for a fiver which was an okay price but in the end she never bought anything else later.
Well thats my last 2011 blog i think or maybe not but i will try and blog more in 2012. My new years resolution is to really try and concentrate on my school work with an important year coming up so i cannot fail my exams. I hope to achieve everything above my target grade which i know is hard. Also another resolution is i want to go on a diet so hopefully that works and i loose abit of weight. Even a few pounds would be an achievement. Happy New year to those reading and i hope everyone's resolutions succeed! x

october updates

Alot has happened recently in october. Firstly my mum was involved in an innocent car crash that was totally not her fault as me and my sister Emily witnessed everything from sitting in the very same car. It was all a mans fault who jumped the red lights as he was on his phone and didnt notice. Shows why you shouldn't drive and be on your phone. Gladhe admitted it was his fault in the end. The car my mam was driving in was my grandad's. This is terrible as the car was very special to our family as it belonged to my grandad who is no longer with us anymore due to his death in 2004 caused by cancer. Due to the car being with us in our family for 15 years, it is very old its getting put down now. It was a very good car actually with no car problems apart from the look from the outside does look like an old car. After serveral weeks gone by without the car, i still terribly miss it.
Secondly during half term i went on weeks vacation to London. It was amazing after not been there for like 7 or 8 years. We got there and a tuesday and stayed in a Travelodge at Hatfield. The travelodge was pre booked but somehow the hotel managed to oveboo the rooms so wenever got a room and had to travel 12 miles down the road to another travelodge in Harpendon. This is where we stayed for the 1 night on tuesday. It was a dreadful hotel, all dirty and old....ergh. Couldn't sleep for the night. Anyways we checked back into out hotel where we orginally books and it was 10 times much better. Not star quality but at least  it was cleaner. We stayed there for a further 3 nights and had breakfast everyday there too. On the wednesday of the trip, we stayed in Hatfield due to everyone being tired. Wondered abit in and around hatfield and went inside 'the galleria' shopping centre. After that we just stayed in the hotel for the rest of the night apart from heading to Tescos for a wonder. On the Thursday we went to visit my uncle Davids house and his family. We didnt stay for long as we wanted to travel to central london and start the exploring. I think it wasthe first time ive been on the london underground unless i have been when i was little and don't remember. We walked along Oxford street and the parliment area. We even went to buckingham palace and appaently te queen was in! Great day, i noticed alot of things down London that you wouldnt find in sunderland. On the Friday it waswedding rehersal day for my auntie's wedding. This was held in cambridge at the Ickworth House. It was quite a boring day but intesting afterwards when we explored Cambridge with my mam, dad, sisters, grandma, the rest of my cousins, uncles and aunties. Saturday was agood day. Got up to have breakfast and went to visit the galeria again to buy some things. along there we bumped into my cousin steve. He just returned from singapore to attend the wedding. Eeee, laughing at his tan. Looking like a fillipino instead of chinese! Then we returned to his house (uncle Davids). The rest of the family were already there. Second time ive been to their house after already attended earlier this week. There me, my sister and nicola asked to lend (cousin) Ben's laptop. This was revenge to change his facebookafter he changed my when he came to my house. So funny, still thinking back in kinks. Anyways he found out like about an hour later at a restaurant when his friend called but was unable to change it as he had no access to his laptop until another 2 days. The Pre wedding day meal was lush. Very Traditional chinese dinner at Wing Yip. Mmm. After the dinner we headed to cambridge and checked into a dfferent hotel.This one was lush with 4* called the Priory Hotel. Stayed there for 2 nights (before and after wedding). The next day (Sunday) breakfast got delivered to our room which means beakfast in bed!Don't think ive ever had breakfast in bed but it was nice. This was aranged because we the hair stylist was booked early which meant we didnt have time to have a normal breakfast at their restaurant. I loved the way they did all the bridesmaids hair for the wedding. i felt sorry for my auntie (the bride) as she had an allergic reaction on her skin due to the eye patches used to doher fake eyelashes. This meant that she had red skin patches underneath her eyes. thank god her make up artist covered things up properly otherwise she would have felt sad all day. I was the lead bridesmaid so before leaving the hotel i had to help carry the trail of the bride's dress to the vintage car which i also sat in aswell. I had nerves when we got to the venue as i was due to walk down the aisle with the rest of the others .Whilst walking down the aisle everyone stood up with the cameras. Felt embarassed. After photos after photos it was dinner. Dinner was a 3 course meal of duck, leg of pork and trio of deserts costing about £100 per head. Expensive. After dinner there was a traditional chinese tea ceremony and the bride changed into a chinese wedding dress. Well then the day ended quickly and we went back to the hotel for a nights rest. Sunday was when we went back to the bride and grooms house for a visit and another traditional chinese dinner at a restaurant  before returning back to sunderland.Halfway through travelling, we stopped at a service station where i saw Jordan Henderson. He was sitting literally a metre away from me. OMG. I regret not asking for a photo but anyways it was a bit of a buzz.
Well thats my October, sorry it may have seemed boring to read. x

6.10.2011

Just realised i haven't updated my blog for ages. Well today was nothing special as school was boring. i havent mentioned earlier about this new academic year but its been alrght so far. Some let downs like knowing that i failed my B1b biology exam by getting a D and resulting me in unable to do triple science and not being able to resit the exams as my scores put together from the first and second exam made me reach my target grade of a C. Wish i could of done better though as i was hoping for a B or more. Also i have quite a lot of forthcoming exams soon so i might not blog much as of revision to get the best possible grades. Cant pass without revision on chemistry and physics as they aren't my strongest subjects. Also a maths exam in the beginning of November when we return back to school. Ahh, one of the reasons why i will hate this year (y10) and next (y11). Also i just started doing private tuition lessons yesterday for at least twice a week covering 6 hours of revision. Seems like i have a great life doesn't it. However the stress will only get worse as i gradually get older. One good news is that my aunties wedding is only 24 days away resulting in a happy day for everyone but when thats over, i bet my stress will take over my life filling it with some unhappy moments :( x.

31.8.2011

Omg Yesterday was frustrating yet fun at the same time.
Today i had a reunion with Georgia after not seeing her for over a year as she moved schools.We went to Newcastle and the beach. We went to the cinemas wanting to see a film but the frustrating bit was having been asked ID before being allowed to buy tickets to see Final Destination 5 or any other films rated 15. Not exactly that the film is really unsuitable for 14 year olds but i've been wanting to see it since i first found out it was in the cinemas. We tried buying the tickets at both Sunderland and Newcastle cinemas but guess what i found really annoying? Yes, loads of people i know who arent even 15 yet get to see the films even though they look much younger than me and my friends. I cant believe both cinemas didnt let us in. After the cinema plans failed we went shopping for abit. My aim of the day was to find some school shoes for school but as this happens every year, yes it was very difficult to find. I was hoping to get some brogues at Primark but they didnt have any in my sizes in both the one in the town and Newcastle. I got kind of upset because i promised my parents i would buy my shoes that day. Soon i ened up going into H&M. This is where i finally bought some shoes. This time it wasnt brogues, its just some normal plain flat shoes with a bow on. Im not keen on them but there wasnt much i could do as we wanted to go to the beach. The shoes were cheap so you cant get good quality shoes at this price so it wont last long but anyways. On the shopping trip i also bought some tights for school and a mayo chicken burger and a ice cream cone from Mcdonalds (delicious of course). Before returning to the metro station we went to Shake-a-holics. There i bought my first milkshake from this company. Mine was a regular flavour Galaxy Cookie Crumble, Melissa's was a regular Galaxy Caramal and Georgia's was a regular Yorkie. Mmmm it was very nice, i tasted all of ours and i thought they all tasted the same but eventually after drinking too much of it, it did become to taste abit sickly. On the metro we got off at the stop 'seaburn'. From there we walked abit to the nearest bus stop and got the bus to morrisons. Thanks for me we missed the bus and could of got there earlier but i couldnt find my bus pass so we didnt get on until the next one came which was like 20 minutes later. First we went to the arcades and i wasted £1.70 on the machines (im such a loser) then we got some chips from the fish & chip shop next to the arcades so we sat there and ate our chips slapped on full of salt and vinegar. Im the slowest to finish my chips so it wasnt acctually nice being stared at eating my chips. Then we went to the local morrisons, this is where i bought some dairylea dunkers for home and melissa bought some One Direction magazines which costed her a fortune as she never had much money. Afterwards we headed towards the beach and the waves were high. However me and melissa and georgia all braved the water. I had tights and shorts on so guess what, i had to take my tights off practically in a public area where everyone can see. Thankfully not many people were here so i wrapped Melissa's coat around my waste and took my shorts off before i could take my tights off. It would have been abit embarassing if people saw but nope it was fine. Soon I was walking to the sea with melissa (who also had shorts on). Too bad for georgia who had jeans on but still she went in and her jeans were soaking when she got out. we took photos and videos on Mel's phone hoping to be put on facebook for a laugh. You wouldn't think me and melissa would get wet but we both did even with shorts on. We quickly grabbed our stuff and headed back to morrisons toilets. We all went into a disabled toilet together and made a racket trying to clean our selves up. Both me and Melissa's legs were stinging after the feeling of salt water burning your legs. Outside the toilets there was this old man waiting to go in, he kept knocking but we weren't clean yet until 10 minutes later. I put my tights back on before coming out the toilets. Me and mels shorts both looked like we wet ourselves and our pants were wet which was not very comfy. We have learnt our lesson that next time we come, we have to bring a towel each and extra changes of clothes. We headed back to sunderland intercharge by the E6 bus. This is were i got on the bus with mel and georgia which headed to Ryhope (their house). They promised to come to Doxford park morrisons with me but ended up leaving me getting the bus to morrisons on my own before transfering to another bus to enable to get home. I got home at quarter to 7, which was a bit late but yano. Overall my day was wonderful especially the time at the beach. x

29.08.2011

Havent blogged in a while and im truely sorry for those that read. I have not had the time lately and also when i do i always forget.
Well today nothing much happened really. i stayed at home all day even though it was bank holiday. The sky was dull with black clouds however it did not rain. I didnt get up until half 1 today and i sure got told off for sleeping that late. This of course ment that as soon as i got up it was dinner, the table was already set and everything and everyone was waiting for me. After dinner street i found out street dance was on telly so i watched that even though i watched it in the cinemas before with chloe and goergia in 3D as mentioned in my first ever blog post last year. Afterwards The incredibles was on, not as if i watched it but i got bored so when my mam and dad left the house i have been on the internet all day either msn or facebook or twitter. I was trying to arrange a visit on wednesday to the cinemas to watch an all time favourite film 'final destination 5'. The film looks amazing in the cinemas so im hopeing that im allowed to go on wednesday as its orange wednesdays and we will get 2 for 1 offer on tickets. Overall today was boring and nothing interesting happened. x

31.7.2011

Last day of July.
Today is the first time i've been online in like how many days?...4? seems a long time to me as i miss Facebook...such an addicting website but i was busy so never had the chance to come online.
Well nothing much has happened but i did get my hair cut on Friday. It seems too short in my opinion but probably not as bad as Sophie Carr's (haven't seen her hair yet but apparently its a bob). I actually really want to see what she looks like with a bob because shes always had her hair long so i don't know what she would look like where as i've had a bob before. I really want my hair to grow now, don't think i like it much which is why i often have my hair tied back.
Cant believe i missed this years air show, wasn't allowed to go today or yesterday. However i did hear the noises from my house but sadly i couldn't see any planes as when i got to the window they were gone. Hope tomorrow is good and that im allowed to head down to newcastle with my sister. Hmm Metro Centre...or...Eldon square? Well im leaning towards eldon square for a change but i love the metro centre. If i go to eldon square i can also have a wonder around Newcastle. Anyway hopefully i can go and also bring on Tuesday for a family day out in York to meet my dads old school friend and his family that my dad hasn't seen for 3 years whose come abroad for holiday and to see us. x

27.07.2011

Today was the 3rd day of the summer holidays and its been alright actually, not as boring as it would have been on occasional days like this. Went to the town today with my parents to buy my sister's school uniform for St Anthonys. I prefer her uniform over mine, i think its prettier somehow. Anyways altogether her uniform costed round about 100 pounds including shoes, blazer, blouse, socks and more but thats not including PE kit and tights as we havent come across buying them yet. I haven't bought any of my uniform yet apart from a new PE top but i know for all 3 of us (sisters), the uniform price is going to cost a fortune for my parents. Not really a good time to spend alot of money on uniform especially the credit crunch and the hard time my parents are having. Also today i got my ears pierced! May sound weird because most girls would have already had their ears pierced at this age but im different and at least i have them done now ready for my aunties wedding in October. The piercing bit wasnt as bad as i thought actually. I imagined it to be sore for at least a week but it only stung abit when the gun went through but everything was fine after 2 minutes. Overall today was Ok. x

23.07.2011

RIP Amy Winehouse!
Your death was a total shock. i wouldn't have expected it from you, not at such a young age. Romance is not worth it to give up your life if it was for that reason.
My dad was joking the other day that in the town at Sunderland theres a shop called Amy's Winehouse. If people layed flowers outside the shop with RIP signs then it would be in front page newspaper of the Sunderland echo. Nobody did do that of course but i would agree with my dad that it would have been 100% front page news if somebody did do that.
Today was a boring day filled with a dreadful news about the tragic singer. x

22.07.2011

Happy Birthday to my dearest dad!
41 today! Your getting old by not remembering your own birthday until you received emails, texts and Facebook wallposts. Sorry i didn't get you anything not even a card but i did as i was told, you didn't want anything anyways. Eee you really dont look your age at all, you look younger as always ;)
I know this wasn't the best birthday you had but i hope you thought your day was fine even though nothing special happened, not even a birthday cake appeared. x

21.7.2011

On thursday (21.7.2011) we broke up for the 6 weeks holidays. Yeah im gonna miss Y9 and KS3. Not looking forward to starting more exams and having more pressure put onto me in Y10. I will mis 9w2 as much as i miss 8.1M and 7-3. That day we practically did no work in lessons seen as though throughout the day we only had 2 lessons and that was second lesson (english) and third lesson (Tec). We only had the 2 lessons because the end of academic year Eucharist took place during form time and nearly the whole of lesson 1 which was suppose to be maths. Eucharist is a boring Christian ceremony that takes places in school every now and then and involves the vicar coming into school to bless all the staff and students. You are also offered to drink bread and wine if you wish. After lesson 3 and lunch, there wasnt any lessons for the day. We spent an hour in form after lunch just sitting chatting to people and having popcorn and chocolate brought in by Mr Goodman. I also got my award which i was suppose to get if i attended 'awards night'. However as usual every year i never attend and this year my award was for 100% attendance, Consistent effort in English and consistent effort in history. Chris Tyson got 12 awards just cause hes like a swot and loads of teachers would nominate him. Most of them were for best boy in all sorts of different subjects, i wish i was as clever as him. Soon at 1:45pm the school was able to free people. Yes it was the end of Y9 :( x

Monday, 11 July 2011

11.7.2011

9 more days till we break up for summer hols!
Today in school it was 'literacy day'
In all your lessons you were suppose to do something based on literacy but today in most my lessons we did subject related word searches. eg. maths = maths wordsearch
We hardly did much literacy skills. Anyways it was boring as usual, wish it was last week again especially flamingo land because that was great. In science it was funny talking about what happened in flamingo land and lunch time was alright sitting down having a cosy chat.
When my dad got home from picking my youngest sister up from school we went to pick up Emily. On the way there we nearly ended up in a car crash. This car in front of us went backwards but of course we could go back as there were cars behind us aswell so he ended up bumping into our car. My dad kept beeping but he stopped in time before it was too late, thank god the car was only scratched a little just above the head lights. Then we returned back home in a hurry as my dad called in the roller shutter person to come to our house. Recently our shutters have been dodgy but when he came he said we needed a new one fitted in. Thats nonsense because it didnt seem like we needed a new one. After putting the shutters up and down with the remote for several times, it began to get stuck with one side of the shutters up and the other down making it slant. I was scared when my dad said if we don't fix it, it might have to stay like that for the rest of tonight. Now its back down again but we arent allowed to use the shutters until its properly fixed. I don't think today has been a great day. x

8.7.2011

Today was the last day of enrichment week 2011. Of course in our school the activity was called 'army day'. At the start of the day, i really wasn't happy and comfortable with what i was wearing as most of the people were wearing casual clothes and goody goody me came into school as what you were requested to wear, yes i wore 'sports clothes'. Im glad i didn't look terrible as i wore leggings and i sporty top with a black cardigan, but Tyler was worse. She wore her full PE kit and was the only person in our year to wear the purple polo shirt today. Of course, i was well prepared and i bought an extra casual top to school in my bag because i did have a feeling in the morning that people might wear casual clothes. However, i didn't end up getting changed into the top as i cba but i did survive the day not being aggressive to what i was wearing.
Now, coming on to what actually happened throughout most of the day. It was really boring listening to people from the army speaking about what they do and how they save lives. Can't believe loads of people were off school including some of my friends. Basically in every form, a little bit less than a half of the people were in school. The best thing about today was getting some sweets....mmm and getting your face smothered in army make up. It wasn't very pleasant but it was very amusing. I seen loads of people with there entire face covered in black make up but thank god mine wasn't. I tried to wash it off before i went home but the army camouflage make up was waterproof and the school didn't have soap in the toilets. At first i thought it would take a few days before the entire make up goes off but i was wrong. I'm glad it came off when i went home to wash it off with face wash and water. Overall today was alright x

7.7.2011

Blogger is getting boring so im sorry i haven't posted in a week.
R.I.P to those that died in the 7/7 bombings always remembered by both your friends and your families.

Today has been a wonderful day but at the same time quite bad aswell. I went to flamingo land today with my school for enrichment week. On the coach i sat right at the back with my friends Chloe and Beth and we sat there aswell when we travelled back but this time Melissa and Abigail joined us. I hated the 2 hours journey there and forth because of the bumpy roads making the coach go all over the place and making me feeling sick. The good thing was that all the rides i went on at flamingo land were good. Me, Chloe, Melissa, Abigail and Sophie all went round together and all went on the rides Navigator, Cliff Hanger, Mumbo Jumbo, Kumali, Flip Flop and finally the corkscrew. The bad thing was that we never had time to go on other good rides called velocity and lost river ride because we needed to start arriving home at 2pm which meant we only had 3 and half hours in the theme park and only went on 6 rides. However it was enough to last me for the day because by the end of the kumali ride i was already feeling abit sick and it got even worse after flip flop and corkscrew. Eee, it was funny seeing the teachers on mumbo jumbo including Mr Goodman feeling scared during the ride as you could tell by his face. On the way back home was the worst because i felt really really sick, thank god i weren't sick infront of everyone otherwise that would have been embarrassing. Im glad i got to sit next to all my friends on the coach with the best seats you can get for both journeys, it was a real treat and even Mr Goodman was saying' oh heres the rebels sitting at the back'. I didn't have a favourite ride of the day because they were all so amazing apart from flip flop being in the bottom of my list as i got really ill after that ride.
Basically today has mostly been about me feeling...erm...yeah 'Sick' ! x

30.06.2011

Today is teachers strike day however my school is open. Yes, Yes... probably one of the only schools in Sunderland that has been open today. Today i had Maths, English, Technology, Geography and then Art. In maths i forgot to do my maths homework but thank god Sophie did it for me before the lesson during her form time because coincidentally she had an extra copy of the homework....i don't know if its weird or just luck. Oh well, at least i had some sort of homework to hand in. I loved technology today though with Chloe, our teacher just lets us have free time in lessons so all we did was chat to people on Facebook from Chloe's phone and logged onto the computers to look on clothes websites to see what clothes we are hoping to get for flamingo land next week. I really hope i can go to the metro centre on Saturday with my friends, it would be better if Chloe could come too. x

29.06.2011

Boring day, no strike tomorrow for my school whilst both my sisters are off. Emily was still ill staying off school.
today i had the following subjects:
Technology - Me and Chloe did no work because our teacher wasn't in But half way through the lesson i remembered i forgot to do my history homework. i ended up doing it during that free lesson.
History - Did more work about the population growth in the 19th century in Britain. Eew some stuff we talked about in the lesson were pretty gross.
RE - Got offended by my teacher because he didnt include me in his 'Form' list about who people can hand their homework to during out of lessons. Ergh i hate him.
Spanish - We worked on our movie trailer about 'The Lovely Bones'. Not the best film ever but Sophie (person who i worked with) as usual is always bossy and likes to pick everything herself. Well she did lend me the DVD to watch it. However, i disliked the fact that she did all the work herself and didn't like pretty much everything she did on the trailer. I should be part in things you know sophie!
Music - Again the bossy Sophie nearly knocked me out by unplugging the keyboard and knocking the plug onto my head just because i started reading a book of hers. Im lucky i didnt get knocked out! x

28.06.2011

I hated today. I found the science test really hard and so did many others! i wish i would have had enough time to finish the whole of the test instead of putting random answers down for the remaining few. I was acctually about to cry when i came out the exam because i felt like i was letting myself and my family down. i think i have definitely failed because the graph questions were hard. Hopefully i have at least scrapped through a pass grade. After that test the whole day went rubbish because of the sad feeling about the test and having 4 lessons left before going home.
ICT + Geography + Maths + English = BORING


After school going home made no difference, i was stuck with a poorly sister in the house crying most of the time. I have no idea why she was crying just because she was hot and had a temperature. Shes old enough not to cry during situations like this, it wasn't as if things were painful. x

27.06.2011

School today, as usual there was nothing interesting that happened but it was a very very hot day in school.
The lessons i had was:
Maths - Work on histograms
PE - We played long ball outside
English - Working out of the text book which was very boring
RE - Finished watching a film about mother Teresa's life
Science - did our final practice mock exam ready for tomorrows test.

Didn't do much when i got home apart from watching abit of TV and some revision. Oh i am dreading for the test tomorrow, fingers crossed that i will do well and get a good grade. x

26.6.2011

2nd post, a year later. Well today i got woken up by a phone call at half 5. i only had 3 hours sleep as i went to bed at half 2 but in the end i slept for another 4 hours so i made up for my sleepless night. Today was really sunny and hot so i sat in the gardan for abit. As for in 2 days time, i have a science test coming up so i went inside to revise for it. 2 hours later whilst it was still sunny i heard thunder and rain started pouring down heavy buckets for about half an hour. That made the day look sad after looking out the window staring. i spent my night on facebook, twitter and msn socialising with my friends and watched bride wars which was a good film. Overall it was an alright day. x
