maddie's blog

Love is learning to let go, to move on, and to realise that it's the best way out for everyone.
Love is finally admitting the fact that you're happy as long as the rest of them are.

you know, I always crack up when I read huiran/maddie's blog/LJ. somehow they're (blog/LJ not huiran/maddie) food for thought. O.o haha. and it's not like, random crap posting, like I do. or at least, I think I do. (tell me I don't! *-* lol)

I rarely think about what I write, and just write the way I speak, which is like

IDEA- DESCRIBE DESCRIBE DESCRIBE ---

DESCRIBE- TRAIN OF THOUGHT CHUGS OFF ---

DIGRESSION.

yes. like in the book salt and saffron (which I borrowed from NY library an eternity ago) it says, digression is only added detail, or something like that.

sigh.

♥GRACIE!

p.s. did you know, on maddie's blog, under my link, the LJ summary thing has stuff like BIKINIS and SHORT HAIR on it. it makes me sound like some strange vulgar gossip girl. O:


braces

I forgot to say, I changed my brace colours! quechevere! ;D it's now pink and purple. ;D fyi, quechevere is 'how awesome' in spanish, it's our spanish wikispace site. ;D haha.

♥GRACIE!


alex (the sheep)!

I am now, unofficially, alex (the sheep)'s mum! O:

haha jk alex. I helped edit his blog template. hmmm. that template looks quite fun. *hungry look* I think I am a blogskin vampire. O: lol!

tuition is over. and guess what, I have it on monday as well. WTH lah. -.-

sniff.

♥GRACIE!


la musica!

grace is currently downloading songs from a whole stack of CDs to replenish her 'empty' music library, since most of her songs are all back in singapur. ^-^

new skin!

polka-dotted, orange and white. http://www.blogskins.com/info/210456.

gtg lur D: pooh!
byebye.

♥GRACIE!


tag replies!

quote kung fu panda:
there is no price for awesomeness.

;D
haha like everyone wants to go ISB now, lol. but everyone who comes to bkk goes pattana! whyy!! D: ISB is the awesomenest school around, dood. :/

yesterday was freestyle friday during dance! so we played games! did I tell you I got one of the top scores for our dance test, it was chao cool man. so the top score people brought music and we danced/played to the songs. I brought with love.

with love, love, love, love.

;D

okay, tag replies.

lihui: er, who are you =.=

chingying: haaaapppyyy birthday ;D haha I'm getting 16 hrs of tuition per month to make up for lessons, do you still think my life here is totally happygolucky? ;D I'm getting a 2hrs tuition in *gasp* around 4 hours. damn.

sand: haha thank you? ;D

rahrah;DDD: you should visit, lol. then I can go around and say this is my friend yay say hello isb! :D lol JK. it is fun. ;D lol.

whee!

I shall make a neu blogskin.
ONWARD SOTD!

♥GRACIE!


peneelooopeeeeee D:

I got the penelope cd! from my uncle! (I borrowed it.) but it's like pirated I think. IT KEEPS PAUSING EVERY LIKE 2 MINUTES, IT'S SO IRRITATING. pfft. so I gave up. after what must have been 20 minutes into the movie, but 30-40 minutes of my time.

watched becoming jane. it's quite good, I suppose, but it doesn't have a happy ending (in my opinion) so it leaves me feeling sad and depressed, just like all sad-ending stuff leave me. D: lol. tom should have married jane. :/

pfft.

;D

school is fun! haha yay. el proyecto de hola especially. (I forgot what's 'especially' in espanol. especialsomething I think. I DID look it up. :/) oh and swimming, which has water polo at the end if we finish early, lol. and humanities (which can be boring sometimes, like today, with the bad-quality MLK video)! and and and. publications.

quote dr everett:
"so grace, you'll get an A plus plus plus."

cos you see, I've got the entire quarter (half a semester if you didn't know) to attain 9 articles for an A+, and I've already published 9 articles. so today he was like, got anything for me, grace? and I said no. and he was like *raised eyebrows* a bit slow today, aren't you? LOL. cos usually I have an article like 25 minutes into the class. not bragging, just pointing something out.

so I shall be slightly slacky for the rest of publications-quarter!

oh and playing spoons with ms ulster in rm 305! that is chao fun.

;D

yearboooook loved.
hasta manana...

late-night wonderings;

I like that phrase. late-night wonderings. :D
let us compose a poem!

I wondered as I lay down on my pillow
how today had gone
and what awaited me tomorrow
when the sun shone.

I wondered as I turned onto my side
how you were today
By the rules of distance I must now abide
and try to turn thoughts of you away.

I wondered as I pulled on my blanket
if you remembered me
Memories play like a broken casette
love forever, love running free.

I wondered as I closed my eyes to pray
if you still loved me
If you still remembered our love this day
I hoped- I dreamed- I wondered.

horrible rhythm. but reasonably okay. ^-^

♥GRACIE!


Hello, Zest;

I got a new skin;
basically edited Go On Girl; Funk It Up,
how's it?

I need to go do my homework D:
♥GRACIE!


neeeeuuuuw skin!

http://www.blogskins.com/info/209974/ RETRO!

yay.

:D

I want to change this skin, it's like sad. I shall go rampage my skins.

♥GRACIE!


And I'm such a potion of emotions

"What is your problem?"
"I've got many, which one do you want?"

Hurhur, childhood jokes are so funny. That one was from my brother, like years ago, when I used to put on my best American-stuckup-cheerleader look and go with ATTITUDE, "What is your PROBLEM?" Haha, so Princess-Diaries-esque, right. O:

Anyway. I've promised CY my rhyme. POTION OF EMOTIONS! That calls for a poem, doesn't it?

I'm such a potion of emotions
You've got me all mixed up
I can't make my own decisions
You've waved your wand
And now I'm just a potion
Of emotions.

Oh, random crap. O: Pooh. It sounds funny. Pah! *waves hand dismissively*

Watched the jane austen book club yesterday. It was so cool! hugh dancy rocks. why isn't he in more movies???? except like, evening, which also has CLAIRE DANES, but I think it's M18 or something, I can't remember. apparently it showed on tv on sunday night. O.o

move in a little closer
take it to a whisper
just a little louder
say it again, for me
'cause I love the way it feels
when you're telling me that
I'm the only one who flows your mind

yay marie digby! :D

HOMEWORK TODAY:
science concept questions- due thurs
maths T/B questions 1.6- due thurs
spanish- study worksheets (IF we didn't for the quiz, which I already have, and got 100%! haha yay me *claps hands*)

so in other words I can strike spanish out.
there.

I like these words:
it's like the first time that someone's brought the sun without the rain

^-^

I'm getting snow patrol and natalia -no, not imbruglia- WHAT IS HER NAME DAMNIT- okay, natalie/natalia someone (THOSE WORDS, whose the singer?? O: pooh!) mixed up.

like my mind goes:
those three words
I've said too much

then it goes:
I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU...

LOL.

:D

♥GRACIE!

I wanted to post like ages ago but got distracted. psssht.

I've bought 2 pairs of flats already O: lol. and both were like, about 300 Baht or less, and 300 Baht is like 15 Singapore dollars. amazing, isn't it O:

THE U2 SKIRT IS SO NICE WAHAR.

go on girl; funk it up (NEW SKIN!)

http://www.blogskins.com/info/209193

WHY IS THERE ANOTHER PREVIEW ERROR, I TELL YOU I'M SICK OF PREVIEW ERRORS. (though this is only my second.) :/ I'm not gonna create another blog just for the preview of go on girl; funk it up so just imagine that the entry codes aren't at the top and the background doesn't shift when you click on the 'entries' navi. it works perfectly fine on blogger. in fact, should I use it here? on this blog? it's quite cute ^-^

♥GRACIE!

tag replies

just when I'd stopped opening doors, knowing the one that I wanted was yours-

man, ruthie henshall is a plain genius. go listen to her at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyscZQmRc6w&NR=1. "send in the clowns"- emotional masterpiece :D beware, though, the opening applause is like, BOOMBOOMBANG.

anyway, tag replies!

maddie: hello dear! miss you lots too! yay, linked you already :D oh and yes mr. darcy's diary rocks.

zx: okay thanks. I actually checked out the gimp site already (thanks kibs!) and downloaded it, but I can't make head or tail out of it :/

kibs: thanks again, dear! haha thanks for spamming, too :O

john: er no they don't know each other. one can refer to another's tag without knowing the other, can't one? yes maybe it IS your way of spelling O.o hmm. I must learn to accept that. O.o

pingghee: YOU DIDN'T GET IN??? O: oh damn. then who did?? oh and I don't have LJ. but we already have MSN and BS :D and in a way, blogger. :/ LOL

♥GRACIE!


New skin!

view the skin info and download it here. the preview on BS has a preview error, so to preview it go here.

I'm thinking of using this skin for my blog. whaddya think? :D TAG PLEASE. (this skin took me ages. seriously. like twice or thrice the time it usually takes me to complete a skin. :O and it looks pretty, doesn't it? my first skin with a proper background :D the intro pic is a little large but that can be rescaled or replaced. :/)

comment!

tag!

new skin

was going to do a secondhand serenade skin but decided to finally use this pic that had been lying dormant in my folder for ages. so http://www.blogskins.com/info/208877, here it is :D I actually have 2 other dormant pics still lol, one of them (P&P) I'm just too lazy to code, and the other one the codings screwed up, can't remember why. :/

♥GRACIE!


.because tonight will be the night I fall for you over again

I love fall for you by secondhand serenade! I mean, the tune might not be very very very memorable, but I love the lyrics! :D
I am inspired to make another blogskin.
cos a girl like you's impossible to find
actually, it must be boy, or I'll be like gay. or maybe they're referring to BFFs! :D haha I'm rambling.
♥GRACIE!


LJ!

I need to link maddie :/

Oh I'm addicted to LJ icons! they are so cute and blogskinny! I like this one:


:D

finished mr darcy's diary today. it was sooo good! it was an insight into the entire pride and prejudice story, except through darcy's point of view (I'd forgotten his name was FITZWILLIAM :O), and also into their (darcy's and lizzie's) married life. which was so loveeee-d.

:D

"centre of the world's derision for disappointed hopes!"

that quote just won't budge from my mind.

:D ♥GRACIE!



monday blues.

I just remembered, long long ago, I was going to create a 'monday blues' blogskin. O.o LOL but I have completely forgotten. I mean, I can't help but think that without Photoshop, my image quality has deproved some.
IWANTPHOTOSHOP!
sniff.
today was fun. ms price said I looked like a ballet dancer, lol, but she went OHHHH when I told her I had done chinese dance but not ballet. O.o yes I suppose in a way CD is like ballet.
IWANTTOJOINMIDDLESCHOOLDANCE!
I think one of my deepest regrets right now, is not going for the auditions.
Because I forgot to tell my bus driver that it was after school and ask if I could get a later bus home.
I am so slacky, I should slap myself.
:/
Poo.
No, chingying, you weren't laughing.
♥GRACIE!

danielle: yay it's undead now! in an unvampirey way!
nat: no, I'm more multilingual, I know how to say hello in english, chinese, american, spanish, hawaiian, french and GIANT! betcha can't beat ZAT. :D
huiran: oh dear, you're too late, I bought my flats yesterday O: haha yes they make my feet hurt slightlyish. but they're pretty! haha I shall post their pictures here someday, on my hall of fame. :D
john: eu're welcome. (sorry, couldn't resist...) anyway yes my blog address get longer, maybe my next one should be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, except there are so many ways of spelling it, people would get lost. and obviously your tagboard's dead, your blog is PRIVATE! and don't think of public-ing it.
chingying: haha yes I listened to that one. but SHOW ME THE MONEY rules above all, dudes. :D haha.
zx: okay, I'll keep that in mind. *rant rant rant*

YAY FOR ONCE MY TAG REPLIES ARE LONG! whee! lol.
I shall make a BLOGSKIN.

I MISS PHOTOSHOP.
♥GRACIE!


off-hiatus

LOL, I spelt that as "oof hiatus".

oof, hiatus.

oof! HIATUS!

whatever. punctuation changes the whole essence of a statement, doesn't it?

I found this nice quote:

silence is golden. duct tape is silver.

I need to edit my template.

hey ho, off we go!


Thursday, August 14, 2008
tag reply!

oh man, it's no longer in the plural 'tag replies'.

the fact: nobody has tagged on my tagboard in like a millennium, except, geez, guess who, ME.
result: when I saw jm's tag, I was like, jm, eyeloveyew. :D haha. A TAG! A TAG! I'm like, blind person to the sight. :D
that sounds funny.

I must be in some kind of strange, cryptic mood or something?
anyway, I WAS going to edit my template (specifically: wishlist).

heyho, off we go!
♥GRACIE!


annoucements :D and, um, other random stuff

grace is going on hiatus (a really short one, nothing to worry about) soon, because of her awesome 2D1N new student getaway, where the teachers whisk all the new students and some peer helpers away at like 8 A.M. tomorrow, and return them, safe and sound, sans ransom, on Saturday, 11 A.M.
I did a mistake (?) by clicking on the link to the show me the money thing, cos now I can't stop listening to it. Pffft. :D
okay, I shall go. um. check out other songs. and tear myself away from the whole hiphoppy bodymovin' dancegroovy rhythm which show me the money has got. (it's in the step up soundtrack, did I tell you?)
okay, now it's step up by samantha jade, who, by the way, has a really nice name. :D
what was I going to type here.
um, okay, in the meantime (cos I can't remember what the heck I was going type here), I HAVE TWO MORE ARTICLES PUBLISHED ON ISB LIFE IN THE MIDDLE! it was going to be three, cos I finished my fourth article, but dr. e didn't have time to edit it (as usual).
;D
so in like, less than a week, I have published 3 articles! yay!
and you know, the minimum amount is like 1 article per FORTNIGHT.
:D
oh damn, I'm listening to show me the money again.
"This is definitely the wicked-est thing I've heard in my LIFE!"
"Ain't nobody do it like I do it, cos when I do it, dawg I do it."

;D
"dawg." LOL. okay.
today I was emailing natalie and wrote something random: "haha I am so awesomely multilingual, I know what hello is in american english, it's 'yo dood'."
:D
sorry if I'm being like stereotypical, it just slipped out (from my fingers, I mean, cos it IS an email after all).

enough being random! I must continue on my I know you won't blogskin which, when it comes out, is gonna be awesome. this is not ego, it's just confidence, you know.
ONWARD TO SOTD!
♥GRACIE!

okay, I'm actually like working on a blogskin to the song I Know You Won't by Carrie Underwood, it's damn good.

You say you'll call, but I know you won't

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA IS LOVED!

I finished the book today in the bus home :/ Yay! haha you know the book is wonderful, I wanna steal it from the library and never return it :X really! wahaha! poor erik. really! he's like, damn sad. sniff. and I don't really like raoul (never did, anyway). in here christine is like, different; in fact a lot of things are different from the movie. and from fan fictions (duh). :D

but it's tres encantada! oh man I'm like getting my languages mixed up. I think that meant 'very charmed'. oh whatever. :S IT'S REALLY NICE!

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ROCKS YOUR SOCKS OFF :D
and more.

haha yay.
♥GRACIE.

p.s. I realise this is a very random post. ah well.


On a cheerier note

Here are two links that maybe you'd like to visit, to rid yourself (if you are innocent) of the horrible feeling my hateful flaming may have caused you to feel.


AND the only one published so far.

WAHA. Beat that.

*hugsself*

oh no, after mad drive, I'm now slipping into ego drive. forgive me.

I'm like, looking for spanish songs right now on youtube :D haha. to be more specific, spanish RENDITIONS of english songs that I know. I've tried all good things (come to an end) and something there, and some other stuff. :D

♥GRACIE!



I'm sorry... [/EDIT]

first day in school!

synergy with mr guthrie.
mr. guthrie is nice, and synergy's more like an FAD or peer support group kind of thing, than CME. we have about like 8-10 people in our group including me, and there's only two girls, this thai girl called nok (sp?) and I. and the rest are all guys. one of them is sudipta, who's from india, we had the same buddy during orientation. so we discussed our new timetable and handbook which is called the middle school agenda, and then played this get-to-know-each-other game.

mathscience with mr huttner.
mr huttner is really nice too. we had to draw lots to see which seat we got, and then go up to the front in numerical order to present 3 facts about ourselves, and put a star on the smartboard map on where we call 'home'. I put it on what I thought was singapore, until mr huttner told me it was part of indonesia. oh, damn. I printed out our nuts & bolts sheet already (which is like an expectations-intro thingy) and I need to sign it, so do my parents.

PE with mr vaughan.
that's mr VAUN, and not mr VOGAN, as I mistakenly pronounced his name. he's new. again, we played a get-to-know-each-other game. it was quite fun. if I described it it would take ages, but to sum it up let's say that while it was wonderfully fun and hilarious (and embarrassing- I think it was called the embarrassing name game or something), I don't remember many people's names. I remember anna, and amy, and tata, and dajun, and kaejun (is it kaejun? it's something jun, right). aaaaand oh damn nobody else. LOL.

spanish with mr ethridge is actually next, but I'll skip it to briefly describe the next few subjects (dance, humanities and publications) cos spanish is the main bulk of this.

--> dance with a relief teacher cos ms price wasn't there
we have to wear leggings and a shirt tomorrow. we don't know what shoes to wear yet, until we find out what dances we're gonna learn. thank goodness I bought leggings.

human.s with mr kenney
fun, fun and fun.
though I miss miss teng. a lot.

publications with mr everett
fun again. check this out. also, I think this article (http://isbmiddleschool.blogspot.com/2008/02/are-children-damaged-by-materialism-nam.html) is quite good.

spanish
oh damn, I need to go soon, I'll just revise my spanish here. most of it. we're supposed to read through the hellos and goodbyes and since I like walked around the house reading them aloud, I should be okay with them. here's just some of my favourites.
hola! (hello- the h is silent. so it's like OLA.)
buenos tardes! (good afternoon)
que tal? (how's it going?)
adios. (goodbye)
hasta manana (pronounced 'maniana'. means 'until tmr'.)
hasta luego (my personal favourite. 'until next time.')
chau! (or 'chachau' as mr ethridge prefers. 'bye', informally.)
okay, I need to go now.

missing nanyang, singapore and everyone like crazy!

blog; orientation

Shopping in Bangkok! this is where I decided to post a shopping catalogue -entirely posted, written, edited by myself, with my own blogskin- on shopping in Bangkok (since I shop so much, why not?). I initially wrote it as a Microsoft Word document but my father suggested that I blog it too :D whee.

PICTURES!

drumroll, please! :D

ISB white skirt and khaki skorts :D
ISB PE uni :D wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
an ancient picture from Index at MBK (it's a furniture place like Ikea).
ditto.

yay.

♥GRACIE!



WALRUS SOUNDS!

sorry, I'm listening to the 27 Dresses version of Bennie & The Jets. which is an Elton John song if you didn't know.

went to ISB today! man, ISB is the loveeee yay. we met salli the counsellor who just ran through some introductory things, and boy will you not believe the news she broke.

I applied for thai introductory as my modern language, and french introductory as my alternate (if I didn't get thai), and it turns out I can't have either! [forgot why.] so guess what language I'm going to take now?

SPANISH!

isn't that chao amazing? I mean, the only languages they had left were mandarin and spanish, and because the mandarin was an introductory course I could only take spanish. and of course, no complaints there. SPANISH IS CHAO COOL MAN, IT'D BE MY LIKE 3RD CHOICE IF I HAD ONE.

anyway other than that no major problems elective-wise, I think. took a pre-algebra test (cos I looked through the algebra I paper and it was like, TOUGH). pre-algebra is where you learn, well, pre-algebra before passing on to algebra. and algebra, if you pass, you go to geometry. yah. :D

GOT MY UNIFORM TOO!
I bought:
1 Green Shirt
2 White Shirts
1 Black Skorts
2 Khaki Skorts
2 PE Shirts
2 PE Shorts

:D Gonna post pictures in next post so I don't have to drag the pics down. (Yes, I took pictures of my uni, LOL. it's so nice!)

we have a new student getaway thingy next week where we have a like 2 day 1 night getaway at this hotel one hour away from school. :D and orientation's tmr. whee! oh and I have my new student ID for purchasing food in the cafetaria. there's this totally cool top-up machine at the cafetaria where you slot in cash to top up your student ID value. ;D

lalalalaLOVEEEE! haha.

AMAZING THINGS.

  1. I saw 2 elephants yesterday! On the road! really! we were at Soi 11 eating at Limoncello -which is a very nice pizzeria place- and then when we came out we were walking along to the mall to buy groceries and then I nearly walked into an elephant. really. my mum was like, GRACE! ELEPHANT! I thought she meant those cute soft toys that you buy for souvenirs -they really ARE cute- and then I looked straight and was like WHOA. LOL. they're really cute, the live ones XD XD XD
  2. we went chatuchak weekend market today, but didn't manage to scale the whole thing, it's so damn huge, LOL, but bought some stuff. and chingying this is for you- we came across a bead shop! IT WAS SO DAMN PRO MAN they sold like hoops, wires, hooks, pliers, beads, chains, pouches and everything, IT'S DAMN COOL I bought like a lot. including my long-lost pliers LOL because I don't have any and have to do the wire by hand, which is harder than it looks, lol. it's damn cheap too. wheeee.

we went to platinum fashion mall yesterday too, it's great lol bought a cute little dress. okay not little. but it's damn nice. lol. (: at chatuchak we found bags for kate lynn and su lynn (my cousins) and a cute red belt and studs for me (ISB allows like earrings, as long as they don't pose a safety hazard like my huge ones, so I'm on the lookout for cute studs; these ones were white leather flowers).

oh and at robinson's we found a pair of shoes. for like 299 baht. cos you see I actually wanted this other pair of shoes that were really nice and comfy and pretty on like tuesday, but my mum said she'll think about it first cos she was busy that week with functions, then when we went back yesterday it was ALL SOLD OUT. I was damn emo lah. i mean it was really nice! D: sniff.

yes I am a shopaholic, lol.

whee my tagboard is looking more ALIVE.

and no I didn't get SOTD oh damn. WHY. D: sniff

I don't know why the img quality on my tom lehrer skin isnt that good, it's perfectly okay on photobucket. O.o maybe I need to lessen the width or something.

LIMONCELLO LOVE!

sorry I just felt like writing that. I feel so hungry. D: lol. today for lunch we went to a singaporean restaurant called Ping (pingghee! yay) to eat, and the guy we were meeting said 12.00, then the owner said "he told ME 12.30", and the guy came at ONE. 1.00, YES. turned out he was caught in a jam. but he didn't call us at all to tell us! we only found out cos the owner called HIM. but anyway the owner turned out to be quite nice. and and and HE HAS MET ALEX FERGUSON BEFORE AND HAS DINNER WITH HIM LIKE ONCE IN A WHILE! AND HE HAS A WINE BOTTLE WITH FERGUSON'S SIGNATURE ON IT! AND WHEN WE WENT UPSTAIRS WE SAW A SHIRT WITH RONALDO'S SIGNATURE ON IT!

like what the heck this guy certainly has connections. O.o

LOL.

starring
She's a former NY BOM, and although she still is from NYGH, she lives temporarily in Bangkok, Thailand, where she studies at ISB MS. She loves her Espanol Uno (Spanish Intro) and Language Arts. She loves the colours red, blue and white (French flag colours, a coincidence). Her favourite Disney show when she was young was the Little Mermaid, but now she likes other movies, like Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Pride & Prejudice, Phantom of the Opera, Penelope, Stardust and Enchanted. She loves listening to pop music and Broadway (and gets obsessive about Broadway sometimes, because it's very emotionally powering). Her all-time favourites are from the Phantom of the Opera (she'd pick Erik over Raoul any day- blame fan fictions) and Les Miserables (she's pro-Marius+Eponine, though she isn't totally against Cosette). Most of the time she'll be making blogskins (she only makes them once in a while now- laziness), reading books or fan fictions here, writing, blogging, listening to music and/or on WLM/MSN. Her name is Grace and you'd be well off not forgetting it. :D
