Catching Up...

Yo.

Okay, so the college thing has been sorted out. Sort of...

I'm STILL not sure where I'm going though, but I guess I'll know in a few days. However, I DO know where I WANT to go: Mumbai. But let's see if my opinion is taken into consideration this time... -.-

But I'll scrap that topic. It gets boring to rant about something all the time. What happens happens, I guess...

So moving on, I found out there's this whole street FULL of shops, just a 10 minute walk or so from my place. So we sent the WHOLE of yesterday there and I FINALLY bought a bag, something I really REALLY needed. I’m not very comfortable carrying my wallet in my hand, considering my attention span, and tendency to be unbelievably irresponsible. My dad and I also went nuts book-shopping, but then, we always do :P, much to my mom's irritation. "We don't NEED any more books !!!" she says.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

You're funny, Mama :P....

And then, I've discovered....MAGAZINES. Am I a little late ^^" ? They're cheaper than books, which I can't usually afford to splurge on. And magazines have SOOOO many pictures I can try and draw so yeah.... I bought a Femina (more for the pictures than the writing), and a photography magazine, since I've recently become pretty interested in the subject. I like them :). Magazines are nothing on books though.... :/

Oh and I also met up with a couple of friends the other day and man, was it good to see those faces again :). We hung out at the mall for a few hours. It was a….memorable *ahem* experience. Oh oh oh AND we had Baskin Robins ice-cream…^^

Can you say MMMMMMMMMMM…..? :P

And we went bowling (I sucked -.-) and shopping and just chatted about old times and went crazy. It was incredible fun :).

Now, there's nothing for me to do at home 'cos my sister has gone off to spend a few days in Chennai with our cousins but I couldn't go since I'll be setting off to college by the 4th or summat. So yeah, I won't be seeing her for almost SIX MONTHS....>.<

NOT cool, in my opinion. I don't think I'll find too many people who can put up with me like she does. But then, maybe I depend on her to much? Will have to think that out....

And it KEEPS raining here. Yesterday, there was this freak storm with thunder so loud it sounded like the building was collapsing and scary lightning and heavy HEAVY rain. For a moment I thought the place would flood... :S But all's cool now. Apart from the frequent showers, the weather here's pretty nice :).

That's all that has happened so far, so I'll post some more later, 'kay?

Peace

P.S: Did you like the new blog header? I drew it myself a few months ago. I know the perspectives wrong, but I'm scared to change it, in case the picture get's spoilt ^^".

Song on my mind: Love Song-Big Bang... More K-Pop :P

Yeah, so I might not go to college this year. Joy -.-.
I STILL haven't got in anywhere, but then the next AIEEE list is out tomorrow. Let's just all keep our fingers, toes and eyes crossed for me, okay? Please?
(Oh and please note that any accidents caused by people walking around with their eyes crossed are by NO account MY fault :) )
So yeah, I might take a year off and do Visual Communications Or a language course for a year. I'll have to go for coaching too, though, since I'll be trying for a better AIEEE rank next year. So all I can do now is pray, I guess. But the thing is, I'm not too keen to even GO to college this year. The only ones I'll get into are ones I didn't want to go to. The one college I REALLY wanted to go to was Manipal University, and I'm not going there so it's taken the fun out of GOING to college really. It just seems like another chore, you know? And the worst part is, giving up Manipal was not even my choice. I wasn't GIVEN a choice. And that's INCREDIBLY unfair, considering I'M the one going to college >.<.
Also, ALL my friends have got in so it makes me feel horribly alone when I read all their college-related blog posts or facebook statuses. And sometimes I get so frustrated, I just want to scream and punch things and break things. But you can't do that kinda thing here. It's too much of a scene. Keeping quiet can be a real pain sometimes.
It's just not fair...>.<

Punk-Indian Me :P

I got my ears pierced !!!! ^_^ :D \m/

(FINALLY. :P)

My dad took me and my sister to the gold shop yesterday to get it done. He was pretty cool about the whole thing. I scrapped the whole three holes on one ear and two holes on the other idea. I've just got two holes on each ear now, and MAN, it looks hot :D!!! I got these totally cool silver studs which I am in LOVE with. And I also bought these adorable crocodile earrings. Check it out :D

And yeah, people say that it doesn't hurt and stuff, but it DOES. Not TOO much that it's unbearable...but sorta like a sharp stab that dies down to a uncomfortable throbbing. Apparently I gotta keep the stud on for around ten days till the hole heals. It was kinda hard to sleep last night 'cos my ear felt all sore and tender. It doesn't hurt anymore but it does if you touch the stud or anywhere around it. My sister got one too, making her the only girl in her class with TWO piercings in her ear. She chose a gold stud with a blue stone. Looks real cool, but at the same time, VERY Indian ^^.

The three of us had originally gone out shopping but ended up getting the holes at the gold shop near the mall. My mom had allowed both of us to get the holes a few days ago but the trip hadn't worked out then. And so we thought we'd go home and surprise her.

And man, was she surprised. And kinda pissed that we hadn't called her and asked her. She freaked out for five minutes, and then calmed down :P. She's so cute :P.

Thank you, Mama. And you too, Dad ^^. For being such cool parents :P.

Also, I've put henna on for the first time in maybe six years. Looks really good, even if I DO say so myself :P. Messed around on my sister's hands too. I gave her this cool glove like thingy. This one is the design on MY hand.

So with the henna and the ear-piercing, it's a mix of Punk and Indian. And I'm liking it ^^.

Oh and I put up the fashion sketches on the Art Blog. Check them out, ad temme what you think, 'kay?

Peace

Song on my mind: Truly Madly Deeply-Savage Garden :)

Okay, this post will be about NOTHING :). I like posts about nothing, you know? It's kinda interesting to see what people do or think about when they have a lot of free time on their hands. There's that saying about the idle mind being the devil's workshop and whatnot, but I don't buy that. And idle mind can come up with some VERY interesting (and entertaining) stuff sometimes ;).

So me and my sister (put the donkey last, heh heh :P) were looking up Naruto fan art, just for kicks, and I came across this.

I fell in love with this 'cos I'm all about the music ;). And ninjas (specifically Naruto shinobi :P).

It took me a while to figure out that the dude with the flute was Shikamaru....I mean, you don't really see him with his hair down much...

Okay...Moving on....

I REALLY have nothing much to say :/. I've been doing the whole movie marathon thing with two of my cousins and my sister. Old movies though. Like Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Step Up 1, Step Up 2, Bambi( DON'T LAUGH -.-. I grew up with that movie so it's VERY special to me. Brings back a lot of memories :) and some others. I was a real Disney Baby growing up :).

And then I've been drawing. I gave fashion designing a try actually, 'cos EVERYONE who sees my sketches all go, "Are you doing Fashion Designing o.O?"

So I figured, I'd just give it a shot, I guess. Just for kicks. (That expression is stuck in my head. Bear with me :P.)

I'll upload some of the sketches later, 'kay?

Oh and speaking of sketches, I uploaded some more on the art blog. Check it out and temme what you think? :)

College Trouble :/

Yo.

Okay, I am FREAKED. I (unlike almost ALL my friends) have STILL not got into a college yet. And the uncertainty is KILLING me >.< !!!

And you know what's the worst part? I keep feeling like what I've done so far to get in isn't good enough. And the thing is, I'm sure I have done my best. So I'm a little messed up in my head right now :/...

I'm just worried that I'll have to take a year off and study so that I'll get a better rank in my entrances next year. I do NOT want to take a year off. The thing is, I don't really MIND taking a year off, 'cos it'll mean more time to do a lot of things I've wanted to do but never really had the time for, you know? I'd (LIST TIME !!! ^^) :-

1. Take a language diploma course or something. Probably Japanese. It'll make watching anime SO much easier :P.

2. Or maybe an arts course? I could build up a portfolio, maybe do some more oil paintings. I've done three so far and it's a LOT of fun :D.

3. I wanna go on vacation >:D ... Somewhere warm ('cos I REALLY don't do cold. Or wet. Though I've always ALWAYS wanted to see snow. I mean, it looks SO pretty :). And fun.). I was thinking of pestering my dad till he took me to the US. He's been saying it for years now, but so far, NOTHING'S HAPPENED -.-.

4. Spend time with my sis >:). Plotting world domination, playing ninja, driving our parents up the wall with our oh-so-hilarious jokes and incredible wit :P, messing up the kitchen but simultaneously ending up with a decent batch of brownies (all of which would have disappeared by the next day. We make good brownies, if I DO say so myself ^^).

You know....What sisters usually do :P.

And I'll think up some more later.

But you know, when I think of all my friends in college, it makes me feel really horrible. "Cos not only are most of the doing a four-year engineering course, but all of them will be starting a year before me (if I don't get in anywhere, that is...). And then, there's me...who'll be doing a FIVE-year course and, on top of all that, starting a year later than all of them.

Which means 'll be graduating a whole two years after all my friends.

I know you're not generally supposed to look at it this way, but I can't help it :/.

So yeah, there are a bunch of pros and cons about taking a year off....So I'll have to think about it, and keep my fingers crossed for the best, I guess....

Keep yours crossed for me too, okay? Please? :)

Peace

P.S: Oh oh oh!!! I'm getting my ears pierced again \m/. I'm thinking of getting two extra holes in my left ear, and just one in my right. So in the end, I'll have three holes in my left ear and two in my right. And I can wear a bunch of rings in all of them. And get an eyepatch. And a red bandanna with white polka-dots. And a talking parrot. And a wooden leg. And a ship with the Jolly Roger. And a weird pirate-y accent. And a bottle of rum :P.

Fanfiction Overload.....KEEP IT COMING \m/ !!! :D

Okay....

I. Am. VERY. Bored.

SO I've been going nuts re-reading all these cool Naruto fanfics by all my favourite authors. Some of them REALLY give me a complex about my writing -.-. I mean, I KNOW there are good writers out there but is it REALLY necessary to traumatize me into giving up the idea of being an author THIS early on?

Does anyone know any funny authors who write good Naruto fanfiction? Who preferably have good grammar too? ^^"
