I noticed some people are depressed about the HSC. Here are some things to cheer you up.

If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember: you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you. - Winnie the Pooh

Today, I was on the computer. I looked and saw the Microsoft Word paperclip guy but Word was not open. He winked at me and then disappeared. I'm worried. MLIA.

Today, I went in for knee surgery. While they were wheeling me in my hospital bed, I saw 6 assistants and the surgeon singing the power rangers theme song while in a huddle. I was no longer worried about anything. MLIA

Study hard ya'll.

See you on the other side!

Helene

Yay

Due to my prowess with computers, I managed to salvage everything I lost when I unwillingly changed blogskins. Woo for me.

"Welcome to the real world," she said to me, condescendingly.

Alright. I am no longer moping. Good start. I reassure myself constantly by saying, "Don't worry, we will all be together again for English Paper 1".

I gave my facebook password away to a trustworthy friend. If the Spazmo does anything funny on my facebook, like change my default picture to a zombie, then please understand. I feel so empty inside without le facebook. I craved social networking so badly that I logged onto my Bebo. I know. My social status just dropped by like 10 places...whatever, I'm not at school anymore. THE HIERARCHY NO LONGER EXISTS!

I am now looking forward to the future and of attending the University of No Sexy Women (UNSW - I got it off Tan, who speaks from experience of course). I found out that quite a few people are heading northways to go to university (no shit, Sherlock!) and hence I don't feel as separated from everybody at school who I miss so dearly. How about we all go out and get coffee in the city one day? Probs hang out at Newtown? Yeah, future ftw.

One month from now we'll be livin' it up. I can't wait until all this finishes. WE ARE SO CLOSE! I've been planning stuff. Once I finish my Chemistry exam, I think I'm going to dance out of the hall, rub it into all the physics kids' faces that I have finito'ed and then probs head home and chillax before all those 18th parties I have ahead. Which brings me to the topic of: should I have an eighteenth party? Vote yes or no. NB: It's Helene's party, so it would most likely consist of lame stuff. Do you REALLY want lame stuff?

Hurlstone Class of '09 is the best

I shouldn't be blogging. Ah well.

We finished school this week and I've been feeling down because I didn't want anything to change. I admit that I was really excited about uni and about meeting new people and moving on from adolescence...but gosh, the last week has been such a blast and when Thursday came, I couldn't help but cry my heart out. Man, I'm such a loser.

Before last week, I was pretty set and focused on the future. I had my UAC preferences all planned out, I had been to the majority of the open days and I decided on which uni to go to (UNSW!) and was thrilled by the fact that in just 20-odd days I could purhcase my first legal drink. And then we had all those class parties and photos, MUCK UP DAY and boarder-daygo. Pretty much all those events embodied what High School is and the spirit of Hurlstone. During final assembly, when the school captains, our year advisors, the principal and our very capable peer mcs told us about how much we'd grown since we first came to Hurlstone, I realised that I didn't want any of it to end.

I remember the first day of high school. I was pretty skinny back then (yep, you better believe it! haha) and the school dress was a huge potato sack I could easily toss over my head to wear. The majority of my class (7I for the win!) lost their way to their first ever high school lesson - Computers with Mr. Payne in room 11. I nearly did, but I recognised a girl who I knew was in the same class as me because I saw her on orientation day, and because we were lucky enough to ask for directions from a year 12 who wasn't out to get us, we got to class relatively unscathed. That girl was Haney Cho. When we sat in room 11, we compared our 'high school book packs' which we brought on orientation day and she told me about the boarding school and how she already missed her family. She was my first high school friend =) (minus Harrington St buddies, Harrington St. Represent!)

I can't believe it's been nearly 6 years since then! I will forever remember all the good times. Especially the camps! Jindy camp was the absolute best.

I'm going to miss our year. No doubt we make one of the most loveable and capable year groups out! '09 ftw!

Should stop before I cry again,

Stoody hard peoples. See ya'll soon!
Helene

I love my family.

I'm blessed to have one so large and caring.

The get-togethers are always fun: the birthdays, the Footy Grand Finals, the Christmases.

But when everything seems to be falling apart, we all band together.

And I'm proud to be a part of something so fantastic.

(Even though we're insane and loud and whenever we go out to eat together we take up half the restaurant.)

RIP Anh Nguyen, my Aunty 7

I love you very much. I hope you're having the best time up there in heaven.

As selfish as it sounds, I wish you could've stayed here for longer. You were so strong and you deserved to be around your family until you lived to 100. You didn't deserve all that pain you went through, nor did your sons and daughters and husband. We all miss you very much and we're heartbroken that you couldn't stay with us any longer.

You'll never be forgotten. To the next generations of this family, you'll always be known as the Great Aunty 7, the most beautiful and courageous person.

RIP Aunty.

Excerpts from www.givesmehope.com partly because i don't feel like writing any of my own stuff and also because these made me feel all warm inside.

My grandma is sick and can't control her body. While mentally alert, she is often treated like a child. My grandpa and I were running to the grocery store when suddenly he turned around and drove all the way back home. When I asked him why he said "I forgot to Kiss your grandma goodbye". GMH.

My grandmother has been very sick for a long time, and my grandpa is with her every day helping her through it. Then the other day she asked me to sort through her pictures and i came across a bunch of notes she saved. It turns out my grandfather writes her notes everyday telling her how much he loves her and how grateful he is to have her. he GMH.

At my college graduation everyone is allowed to take a loved one with them as they walk across the stage. The last girl to walk across held the arm of her 90 year old grandpa. As they crossed the stage the chancelor read her grandfathers name. He graduated 60 years ago but didn't get to walk his own graduation because he was fighting in WWII. GMH.

Yes, you're probably wondering why they all involve old people. I adore old people. I have my grandma and grandpa to thank for that.

"When I was a kid my Mum and Dad used to have big arguments. I used to get told off a lot of the time when I couldn't stop crying (I kept on doing those little hiccups you do when you try to stop but you can't). For all those nights they yelled at me, my Grandma told my parents to leave me alone. She let me sleep in the same bed with her and Grandpa. I love them so much. Their kindness GMH."

A diva is a female version of a hustla.

OH HAI GUISE. Been a while aye? I haven't been blogging recently because I haven't had that many things to blog about. I can't tell you why I'm blogging today though. I just got back from the Doctor's. Don't worry homies, I just gots the flu. Couple of doses of Codral and I'll be fine.

Well, I think that's about it. Hannah's away on camp so the house is peaceful and serene and quiet and beautiful and I can hear myself think and there's no high school musical playing in the background and I can take as long as I want in the bathroom. Life is sweet. She's coming back tomorrow though. Bye bye solitude.

Oh, and can Beyonce get any cooler?

Oh and also, I fell in love with http://www.givesmehope.com/.

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKY NG!

Adios amigos,

Helene

Yes yes ya'll and you don't stop

Hey everybody. So I am going to arise from the last depressing post with a vengeance. I usually don't write about that 'deep' stuff, nor do I talk about it to many people, so I've been tempted to delete my previous post once or twice. But it will stay as a reminder that I am human.

So yep, I've gotten most of my results back and we had that talk from the Study Woman (Prue). Pretty much all that is left for us to do is study. But why is it so hard? I go on the computer expecting to do my biology notes but the calling of facebook and youtube is just so overwhelming. Youtube especially. You can't even begin to guess how many anacondas I've seen eating things.

And blogspot (damn you!) and the incessant need to update the wide world about the increased degree of boredom I am suffering from. Gosh the interweb is one dangerous jungle.

I feel some guilt. I'm going to go study now. For real this time.

Bye amigos,
Helene

YO

So don't change the dizzle, turn it up a little
I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles
Waiting on the Pizzle, the Dizzle and the Shizzle
G's to the bizzack, now ladies here we gizzo

Yeah, those are lines from Drop it like it's hot. Believe it or not, I can rap. I've memorised all the words to the song (sort of) except for those lines up top. I get messed up with the "izzles". Haha, I memorise rap songs in my spare time. I know all the words to 'Superstar' by Lupe Fiasco and I can keep up with him on the track. I was mouthing the words at his concert. I hope he was proud.
I try soooo hard to be cool. Why aren't I cool? Haha.

Hmmm...it's 10 o'clock and I pretty much wasted the whole arvo watching TV/interwebbing. I have nothing much to say at the moment so I'm gonna go offline and do some homework.

Not a good blog, I know. I'll blog about something more interesting next time. (I know what you're thinking, "Since when are Helene's blogs interesting anyways?")

HAPPY 18TH JAMIE LEE!

See ya'll later,
Helene

You don't make friends with salad.

TRIALS. OVER. !!! WOO!

Yeah, consecutive weeks of exams have fizzled my brain fo'shizzle. And I've been MIA from the bloggin' world, so I'm sorry to all of you who appreciate my posts. But, like Slim Shady, I am back.

Well, what have I got to tell you guys today? You can tell that my life has been uneventful recently. Um. Oh, I submitted my UAC preferences today. Yep, Ms. 'I'm so unsure about what to do with my future' applied online just then actually. Dad made me do it. I put THREE preferences down.

1. B Medical Science/B Medicine/B Surgery @ USYD. I know, I know. Stop making Dr. Helene jokes. I'm not even sure about it. I just put it down just to see how good I am. And I doubt I'll be good enough.

2. B Optometry/B Science @ UNSW. I actually feel the strongest about this one. I reckon I could be a very good eye doctor. Plus, it also means an unlimited supply of glasses/contacts for me, which I would dearly appreciate.

3. B Pharmacy @ USYD. Because I'm a boring person who likes putting labels on things and selling them to the general public. Haha, well, that's what my doctor said about a life in the pharmaceutical field. I don't know. I really wouldn't mind giving medicine out to the people (I say that now, but I may think differently later).

Alright. Nothing's set in stone and I'll most probably change my preferences by tomorrow anyways (yeah, maybe switch the three around a little, haha). So yep. That's it for me today.

Enjoy your post-trial good times!

Helene

When the pimp's in the crib ma

Drop it like it's hot.

Hey ya'll. How is everybody going? Studying? Yes?
Well I've been neglecting my blog for a while, so sorry to all you guys who casually visit and find that I have nothing to offer. Story of my life. Anyway.

What to say...what to say...
Well, Hannah has a boyfriend! No, I'm joking. But she sure is getting more action than me. Oh, that girl is a heart breaker. Hard to believe, I know. She's interacted with more boys than I have. So much so that she gives me relationship advice. Relationship advice from a twelve year old! Helene has sunk to a new low.

Helene: Well I kinda like this guy...
Hannah: Well, what you do is you add him on Bebo and tell him to send you Luv.

Anyway, it's suiting that I'm the annoying, teasing big sister who constantly has to read the conversations she has with boys on msn. She goes on the laptop for half the day and, when I don't have work, I usually go see what she's doing. Well, the other day, I looked over her shoulder to see if she was watching the new Vlog by communitychannel, or downloading some terrible music, and she closed the conversation window she was having. Oh, you can tell there was something going on there. So I fought over her for the laptop going, "Oooo, who you talking to? Your boyfriend? Can I meet your boyfriend? What's his name?"

I can't tell you the rest of the story because I know Hannah reads this and she will yell at me.

I'm sorry I left you hanging. But hey, I thought you sourced enough entertainment from me admitting that Hannah gives me advice on boys.

See you all soon,
Helene

Some people think I'm bonkers, but I just think I'm free

Hey everybody.
Long time no talk aye? How have you all been? Studying more than me I hope.
I've been M.I.A because I caught a bad case of the flu. Possibly swine.
Haha, well, I'm pretty sure it isn't swine but I just like saying it because I get to go into 'quarantine'. And we all know what that means. No interaction with Hannah whatsoever.

Yeah, Mum went a bit OTT when she saw the Tamiflu the Doctor prescribed me. She didn't permit Hannah any physical contact with me. She bought some Glen 20 home and "sanitised the air". Oh wait, no! Glen 20 doesn't sanitise the air! The Oust 3 in 1 does that. Obviously I've been bed-ridden long enough to know that advertisement back to front. Anyway, so Mum sanitised heaps of surfaces. She also bought those little dettol hand wash things which don't need water so Hannah can carry them around.

Over the past few days, I've been exploiting my sickness. "Well, how do you do that?" I hear you ask. Well, the only loser in it is Hannah.
I've been settling arguments by coughing on things. For e.g. Dad brought home two of those 4 in 1 pens that he bought from Officeworks. Only one of them had all the colours necessary for school. Dad put it on my desk while I was studying and I was like, "Oh yeah, cool, thanks Dad." And then Hannah comes barging in and goes, "Helene can I swap with you?" and well...here's how it went down:

Hannah: Helene, can I swap with you?
Helene: Why?
Hannah: Just cos.
Helene: Why?
Hannah: I don't like the colours on my one!
Helene: Well I like the colours on my one. What are the colours on your one?
Hannah: Green and purple and stuff.
Helene: Those colours sound just fine.
Hannah: No they aren't! I want to use my pen for school. I need it for school!
Helene: Whose school life is more important right now?!
Hannah: Just give me the stupid pen!
Helene: No, it's my pen! I got it first!

I saw her grabbing for the pen. Think of all this in slow motion guys. And then I did the only thing I knew would secure my future with that pen. You know it. I coughed on it. Quite a lot as well.

And then Hannah stormed away and was like "FINE. I'LL USE THAT GREEN AND PURPLE PEN."


Yes, it's fun being sick when you're me.

Adios Amigos,
Helene

Heyoo...I'm tired of using technology (see what I did there?)

Hey good lookings.
I just finished reading all your updates from the last time I went on the interweb. You guys write a whole lot. I am now officially up to date with all your lives. I am such a dedicated blog follower. Thank me later.
And thanks for the suggestions homies. I think I'm going to take a break from blogging about Hannah today. So, right.

1. Jamie; lol, you had me there!

2. Minh Chau, that thing about that guy asking me out to breakfast was years ago. I was 15 dude. I was scared shitless. Never bring that up again. *Cringes*.

3. Wendy, I play heaps of things on my Wii. Whenever Hannah goes on the Wii, she announces that she is "Wii-ing" and then laughs to herself. Damn. And I said I wasn't going to blog about her today. Oh and I have Wii Sports and Wii Fit and another game which I haven't played yet. Fun-arama.

4. Hanson, sure, I'll give you the low-down on the female kind. Here you go:

WOMEN - UNCOVERING THE TRUTH
Often, men have voiced the opinion that women are overly complicated and impossible to 'understand'. To this, I'm not going to do the female thing and say, "Oh naaah, we're simple as," because that'd be a lie. Yeah, we're complicated. We actually do want gifts when we say that we'd much rather receive nothing for our birthday. When we say, "Piss off, get out of my life", half the time it translates to "Please say you're sorry so I can fall back in love with you." Sound familiar?

"So how do we decode this crazy female double-speak?" I hear you ask.
Well the answer is sort of double-speaky itself. I guess the only way you can 'understand' a girl is to really know the girl, i.e. to listen to her. If you can't decode her, then that basically says you never got to know her in the first place. Am I making myself clear? No? Sigh.

How about I tell you about the things that girls look for in guys. That better?

1. A sense of humour.
Much to your surprise, women actually do prefer their Arj Barkers over their Chace Crawfords. Sure, having stunning looks is all well and good, but making us laugh pretty much trumps all. Girls want someone they can have a good time with, not someone who sneaks off to the bathroom every half an hour to reapply their moisturiser.

2. Gentlemanly-ness.
Okay, women do like to be thought of as independent and strong-willed, but if you do something small like open the car door for us before we step out, I pretty much guarantee you that your lady-friend will melt for you.

3. Do not be up yourself.
"But why do some girls go for the arrogant idiots?" I'm pretty sure you said that in your mind Hanson. And here is le answer: we think we can change them. We go out with a guy who is a bit of an ignoramus and then when he falls madly in love with us and forgets his egocentric ways, we can take credit for making him an angel. Some girls are weird and do like the 'power' which arrogant men seem to have. But most girls, most of the 'good' girls, love the cute ones who spend hours writing up a poem for Valentine's Day.

I think that's all Hans Sona.
Good luck with the ladies *wink*.

See you later amigos,
Helene

hey good lookin', what you got cookin'? how's about cookin' something up with me?

stupid ad.
stuck in my head.

I didn't turn up at school today. Which might've been a bad thing considering I didn't do anything at home. I just played on the Wii and interwebbed it out.
I started getting a headache because Hannah got home from school.
So I ate some stuff, played a bit more Wii. Kinda made it better.
Hmmm I have nothing to write about. I'm surprised you guys even read this. All I talk about is Hannah being bossy to me and my boring school life, which mostly consists of studying.
Maybe I should write about current, controversial events.
Like, you know.... Um. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't make this blog a commentary on topical issues.
But, I would like to talk about something that you, my dear followers, are interested in. Suggestions? Please don't say "Oh write more about Hannah, I luurve Hannah" 'cause that would not be nice.
This used to be my haven away from her. She's ruined everything!

Oh and happy holidays everybody!
Study hard!
Helene

Duuude

How are you guys going?
Gotta tell you guys some news.
I bet you already heard about this, but my sister got into Sefton =). First emoticon of this blog. Woooo. But the heaps good thing is:
For her reward, we're getting a Wii. And you know what that means. Helene gets to play bowling every Saturday. Woohoo.
We're also getting a Wii Fit game thing so hopefully I'll be looking gooood by formal time.
Aunt, Uncle and cousins from Canadia are also over here in Australia. We had them over for dinner last night and my parents and aunts and uncles all sat around the dinner table and talked (very loudly). I think my Dad got a little tipsy. Ah, Asia families.
Oh and yipee my assessments are over for this term! Must. Start. Studying. For. Trials. Hmmm...
I would've made my blog a bit more personal today but my sister is sitting next to me so I shan't.
She always teases me when I write something down and then has to ask me about it. Like those inside jokes with people at school. She must go "Helene, who's that? What does that mean? Helene I have to know everything about your life why don't you tell me anything I have to know. Helene is that your boyfriend? Oooo. It's your boyfriend. Is she your best friend? Where does she live? Does she have a boyfriend?"

I will trade sisters with you any day. Actually, I'll put Hannah up for sale. Wait, I'll just give her away.

Anybody want Hannah? She got into Sefton =).

Helene

Oh hai homisitas

I like the still they put as the picture for my video last post. Attractive.

Anyway.
I think I can really hibernate through Winter. I slept at 7:30pm last night (I could've slept earlier, but I had to hold out for Masterchef) and woke up at 7am this morning and I felt that I could've gone on for longer. Haha, I'm such a brag.

We had our last ever English speeches this week and I hope I did okay. I had mine on Tuesday in front of a really nice audience (Year 12 Extension Class) and yeah. It was a good environment to do a speech in. And Ms Young is such a sweet teacher.

I really have nothing that interesting to say at the moment. Oh and thanks to people who have faith in my ability to sing! I know, at the start of that video you were probably thinking: "Double you tee eff man, she has the voice of a teddy bear. She can't sing." Haha, at least I'm not tone deaf. Melina says that I sound like a teddy bear.

I hope that's a compliment.

Helene

hi everybody

*hi dr nick!*

Gosh you must love my constant Simpsons references.
So how is everybody going? In regards to my last post, I must agree with Prasanthi's comment; you really do get over all the 'hate' that you write up. And I'm glad I sorted things out with that particular person (of course, ya'll who can put two and two together can work out who that was). It was good working it out face to face.
Anywhos. Is the blog titled "just between you and me" Hanson's? By my powers of deduction, I assumed it was and followed it. Please don't tell me I've made a horrible mistake. Haha, I like your post on Emily Rossum. Very sweet.

Hmmm, I really should be doing my English speech now but I just finished an episode of Gossip Girl and I'm giving myself a little bit more of a break. I know I'm going to regret this later on. School today was pretty usual-like. We had an assessment last period. Hmm, I shouldn't bore you with stuff like that on my blog.

Anyways. Ah yes, what am I going to be up to this weekend? A lot of English. A lot of hardcore English that is. Sigh, talking in front of people is not my forte. Um, yeah broz. Got nuthin' much to say yo.

There is really nothing much to look forward to at school anymore. After this set of assessments, there's going to be holidays and then trials. Oh wait, Boarder Daygo match is coming up after trials? Yes? Well there's one thing to be excited about before Final Assembly.

Speaking of Final Assembly, I'm pretty sure I will bawl my eyes out. I was looking through the photos on the HAHS yearbook site while listening to some sad music (think, 'end of the road' by boyz II men, 'cannonball' by damien rice, etc.) and I started crying. No joke. As much as I say I'm looking forward to entering the world of the University, I really am going to miss school. And I'm going to really dislike the fact that what I experienced at Hurlstone is just going to be a memory which I can't relive. I know, I sound corny, but there's no un-corny way to say it. Don't you guys just have memories from earlier years in high school which, when you think about, make you smile to yourself? Sigh. I don't want things to change.

This is a really long blog.
I should end it, now.

See ya later amigos,
Helene

Conformity

I read Kathy and Amanda's blogs.
And guess what I'm going to do? Being the predictable person that I am, here are the ten things I want to say to ten people (without mentioning their names).

1. You are awesome and I love how I can be myself around you. You have the best sense of humour and you don't judge anybody. Recently, I've been talking to you about more stuff and it's pretty epic to know that I finally have someone I can trust. I love you because you don't care about what anybody else thinks.

2. You are so dependable and lovely. We are so alike. We've been through many of the same things and it's good to know that, after all these years, we've become the bestest of buddies. We study together, joke around together and have deep and meaningfuls together. You're the best.

3. You look ultra-hot as a corpse bride (lol. I doubt Ann even reads this blog. Whoops I said her name.)

4. Thank you for being so cool to me. We haven't been talking that much recently because, well, we don't go to the same school and the HSC and stuff... but I hope we get to catch up after HSC because you're a good guy. Stop watching High School Musical over and over again.

5. For God's sake, stop talking about yourself.

6. You seem like a nice girl but you can be one hell of a bitch. I've seen how you can just turn your back on somebody who really didn't do anything to wrong you. You can make other people feel like shit and I thought you would've grown out of it by now, but you can't. You will always be that way and I guess that will come back to bite you in the end.

7. I hate how you take other people for granted. People are so nice to you even though you treat them like absolute crap. You pretend to be all 'deep' about issues but really it's all just superficial, cliche crap that you're pulling off. Everybody has to deal with their own problems. You don't have talk in that 'toned down, it's serious' voice when you talk about it with anyone who will listen. You say that you're so 'messed up' but I reckon you just love pitying yourself. There is nothing behind your screaming and insults.

8. I like our relationship now. It's a good thing to know that we work well as friends.

9. It wouldn't hurt to show a little bit of empathy every once in a while. You're not the centre of the universe.

10. You smell. Haha, Hannah I know you read this.

How insane is my family?

Very insane.

One of my cousins got married over the weekend, and we had this fantastical wedding, filled with traditional oriental gowns, Asia food and krumping (is krumping spelt with a 'c' or a 'k'? Anyone with a dancing background wanna clear that up for me?)

But yes, it was one of the best weddings I have been to in a long while. We had the whole ceremony in the early morning. Most of the girls had their ao days on. Everybody looked pretty damn epic.

We went to church at about 1pm to do all the official stuff (also because the groom is Catholic). It was beautiful. I cried as my cousin walked down the aisle to 'hallelujah'. Ngaw.

Yeah, reception was pretty cool too. There are photos on facebook I think. Yeah, basically all the people on my side of the family got drunk about 1 hour into the reception. You should've seen the dancing. It's a shame they won't remember any of it.

Sorry about the short blog.

Helene

Anonymous?

I don't know who you are and I've learnt not to care.
The two comments that you left me in my previous blogs actually, I have to admit, really put me down.

I am not the most resilient, most self-confident person in the world and to know that someone out there enjoys putting me down because they clearly don't like me didn't work wonders for my self-esteem. You're probably thinking, "Those two comments weren't even that nasty, what a weakling." Yeah, maybe I am. Feel free to comment again to tell me that I am.

But I've learnt that I have better things to do than to mope over what you think of me.

I have friends who have told me that you're just some 'anonymous' person who doesn't appreciate me for who I am. And that I shouldn't be wasting my time on you. Because really, you're a nobody.

If you're somebody I know personally, then please tell me that you don't like me to my face. I'd actually be really grateful for that, rather than to have to deal with your spineless comments on my own blog.

I'd like to give a big shout out to all my friends! I know this sounds stupid, but this is one big turning point for me. I can now say that I don't care what anybody else thinks. The only opinions that are important to me are those of my friends and my family who love me for me!

x Helene.

Wendy Tran

is it possible to comment on your blog?

I can't find the 'comment' button.

sup y'all

hidey ho neighbourinos.
I think I'm in a better mood than yesterday because I had good 'heart to hearts' with some good friends. It was nice. To the anonymous person who said that I was a "wannabe emo", I think that's the best compliment anyone has ever given me. So thanks.
Tomorrow is school photo day. Sigh. I only wanted a group photo but then the prospect of doing swapsies with those little pocket photos pretty much became mandatory because, as everyone says, "It's our last photo day ever!" I'm trying to figure out what I should do with my hair. Oh dear.
Hmmm yes. Had a pretty uneventful long weekend. I really don't remember what I did. Um. Yeah.
Oh Spaz and I are planning to get labradors. We're going to make our dogs become friends. And then we'll all be happy.
I've wanted a dog ever since I was a kid. Either a labrador, golden retriever of a border collie. I wanted to buy him when he was only a puppy and have him as my best friend. And when he grows up to be all big and strong, he can protect me and I can give hugs to him.
Dogs > Cats.

Haha, I should be getting to some homework right about now.
I'll blog more later.

Helene

aye

I don't know why but I'm feeling pretty down at the moment.
I've narrowed it down to a couple of reasons:
1. English results may come back on Tuesday and I'm not looking forward to it.
2. I feel like I haven't had a heart to heart with anybody in a while.
3. My grandparents have gone to Vietnam.
4. The HSC is near.

Sigh, 2009 is shaping up to be a depressing year. Maybe it's just the weather...or the fact that I feel way behind on my work (I wonder whose fault that is? Blast you, internet!) Yeah, maybe I just need to rent some Dawson's Creek and cuddle up in bed and just watch. Hmmm.

I can't wait till all of this is over.

What an emo blog.

Helene

bonjour.

alo y'all. Sorry I've been off the blogging scene for a while, but I've come to the conclusion that the internet has a bad influence on me. But hey, a little bit of interweb a week won't do any harm.

So yeah, nothing much has happened since the last time I blogged. I'm sorry about the last blog. Hannah is not exactly the ideal sister.

I am now the owner of some bangin' bangs. Haha, though, I can't wait for them to grow out. I guess I don't have the bone structure tocarry them. I look five years old.

This week of school is pretty cool because there are only about 2 and a half days of it. I think I'm going to spend Friday studying some Chemistry and doing my Biology assignment (I'll be sure to blog about that later, because I'm sure all you guys will be dying to know how they went down). Haha, well, I guess there are a couple of fun things happening soon.

Next Tuesday is photo day. I hate photo day. I hate photos in general. I can't take a pretty picture to save my life. But it's our last photo day. And I'm guessing that we're going to get a muck up one? Yes?

June 13th - Truc's Wedding.
Yep, my cousin's getting married! Heaps excited because all/most of the fam are going to be there. Most of the girls have ao day s (traditional Vietnamese dresses, like the one I wore on Multicultural Day last year) to wear at the wedding ceremony in the morning. I'm more excited about the Reception though. We haven't had a wedding for a while so it should go off.

June 16th - School Social.
I bought my ticket. I have my outfit ready. I'm basically all set for the social. Kinda disappointed that we no longer have Cloud Control, but I'm pretty sure I will enjoy the lovely Spaz and her boys (Ryan, Alvinn and Ben) in Blink over 9000.

Wednesday 17th is the school Walkathon to raise funds for SHEAP. The Prefects want that Luna Park excursion for the roll call class which raises the most money, so I have to get some donations soon.

And I think the week after consists of assessments...
Sigh.

Ah well, it'll all be over soon enough.

Shout out to all 2009 HSC students!
We are nearly there.

Helene

Hello. my name is Hannah

This is Hannah here, and once again, i have hacked one of helene's accounts.

1. a pair of these for my birthday!!

Helene probably wouldn't agree ==" but i'm posting it ANYWAY.

2. Now for some of my 'creative arts'

HMMPH

helene's coming back

muahahahahahahahahahah

cyaz alllllllzzzzz


HANNAH

do the noodle dance

Does everybody remember that PB&J show? I used to love it when i was a kid. Anyhow. So yeah, lots of people have that thing where, in their posts, they list the things that they currently want/are obssessed with. Since I have nothing interesting to say, I think I might conform and do one of those. Just for the sake of it.

1. Scrubs Seasons 1-7 DVD Box Set. I'll watch it all in 2 weeks, max. I'm delaying my watching of Season 8 because I don't want Scrubs to ever end for me.

2. A de-Hannahfier. I don't think they stock it anywhere just yet, but I think they're going to get it on the shelves real soon. Here's a piccy of what I think it looks like:

3. Last but not least. One of those heart-shaped muffin pans. Even if my muffins do turn out burnt, at least they'll look hearty.

Haha, that's about it.

I'll see you guys later,

Helene

The only reason I don't follow blogs

is because I don't know where you guys keep your 'follow' buttons.

all good in the hood

hey everybody.
i have a new video blog for you guys! haha i hope the sound isn't messed up this time, but, knowing my luck, it probably is.

so yeah, not that much else to say. I really should be doing my chemistry assignment right about now. Meh, I'll take fifteen minutes off.

My hair is getting to that annoying stage again. You know the stage where you're like "should I go all out and grow it long?" or "should I cut it shorter again?" Contemplating the latter. But the Formal at the end of this year is telling me not to. What to do, what to do. My life is full of pointless decisions.

I was blog hopping before and I figured out how to become popular among other blog hoppers. Either make a bitchy gossip blog, make a blog all about fashion or make a blog about japanese or korean pop music. The big no no is to make a blog about your life. Unless it involves something Grey's Anatomy-esque in the drama department. A nice and interesting template also helps your cause. Ah, my blog = epic fail.

At least I have my individuality.

Oh and speaking of Formal. Also thinking about how I should get there. Should I be normal and rent a limo with some friends? Or should I be alternative and go in something different? I wouldn't mind driving there in my Honda CRV with a couple of friends. I mean, we can be very tasteful and stick our heads out of the sun roof for some high time. (I don't even know what high time means). I would love to get there in a horse-drawn carriage. I love horsies.

Ah well. Formal is too far away. Pumped about the social though. Amanda mentioned something about the St. Techno dance between st. george girls and sydney tech. So I searched it up on youtube. One word - wow. Those guys took the school dance to a whole new level. What with the DJ, the lighting and the glow sticks. It looked legit, man. Haha, not too sure how that sort of dance would go down with our school though. I don't think trance music pumping all night long would get a proper turn out. Yes, we do it differently down here in western sydney.

But we have a good band this year. Cloud Control. Search them up on myspace.

And we have Sam's Permission and Spaz, Ryan, Ben and Alvinn. I forgot what their band is called. Something over 9000. Sorry guys. Remind me later.

Oh my vlog has finished uploading. Should get back to chemistry.

See you guys later,

Helene.

Yello.

Hey everybody.
What's happening with you guys? I didn't do all that much today. Just the uzsh. (I'm not sure how to spell the 'uzsh', like, you know, the shortened version of 'the usual'. Kinda like the 'szush' in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy hair grooming. Carson Kressley will always have a part of my soul.)
Um. Anyway. So I have a couple of assessments coming up. A Chemistry one next week and an English one the week after. I really should be doing my Chemistry assignment now actually. I'll start in ten minutes.
Hmm. I'm totes excited about the social and I might have a better piccie to show you guys.
My dress is kinda like this. Except not as special as this. The model in the piccie has nice legs.


and I have a cropped jacket to go with it. Some heavy eye make up will add to the effect of Disturbia. All you guys who are reading this (yes, the whole three of you) have to come to the social. I wouldn't have anybody to dance with otherwise. Dancing by myself is only fun when there isn't anybody else around.

Speaking of dancing by myself. I think the only exercise I get is through dancing by myself. Put some Daft Punk on and that'll be my 15 minutes of exercise a day.
It's embarassing when parents walk in on you dancing by yourself. Worse yet, dancing and singing by yourself. In front of a mirror. With some Kylie Minogue on (I bought her CD when I was younger, okay. Don't you judge me.) I'll stop embarassing myself now.

See ya guys later,
Helene

how you doin', g?

Hey guys,
Haven't blogged in a while. So...what has been up with me? Well, I think I have my outfit for the social ready (I know, social is in a month, but gosh, the theme is very exciting).
I'll draw a piccie for you to see what I'm going to wear (I don't want to take a picture).
Oh and the theme is Disturbia if you guys didn't already know.


I should've done Art. I promise it looks better in real life.
Yeah so that's just a little update.
Everybody should go to the social.

See ya.

Hey

It's been such a long time since my previous blog. My apologies to the two people who actually do read this blog.
Anywhos. So how am I? I'm alright I guess. Everything's good in the hood at the mo.

Hannah's being more annoying than usual, but she's just at that stage you know?

Who am I kidding? She's ALWAYS annoying.



Hmm. So the main idea of this blog is to tell you some little things about myself. I've been told that I don't really open up that much (I reckon I don't have much to open up about. Me = boring) and that I should really tell people more about myself. The thing is that I hate talking about myself. I'm more of a listener (Kathy Ly can back me up on this one).

But hey, since I've run out of topics to discuss on my blog, here it goes. NB: These are facts about me now. Some people might've known me when I was younger. In my opinion, I've changed a lot. I guess I grew up.

1. I'm terribly insecure. I know it might sound like I'm trying to get some sympathy or something, but I'm not. I think I'm just like this. Even though I try to instill in myself some type of self-confidence (you know, try to be one of those people who are just like, "Who cares what everybody else thinks?"), I can't do it. I wish I could.

2. Don't tell her this, but I think Hannah Ly is the only person who knows me well. I'm not saying that she knows all my deepest secrets, I'm just saying that I'm most comfortable around her. Haha, the videos are an accurate reflection of life at home with Hannah Ly. I'm guessing some of you who are watching are just like, "why are you acting like such a retard?" It's kind of depressing revealing to you that that isn't acting. That's actually what it's like at home.

I can't think of anymore at the moment.
Parents are home.
Gotta go.

Helene

Shoutouts to the Grandparents

Okay, I have no self control.
I finished the entire season of the OC in a week. And I told myself I would spread it out. You know, like have little OC treats every week. Sigh.
Well, at least I got it out of my system. Now I get to study without Seth's voice in the back of my mind.

Anyway.
So what have I been up to?
Oh right. Nothing. I don't even know why I blog.
Kathy Ly, on the other hand, has her boy problems. Yet again. And guess who's on the receiving end?

Dear oh dear, that girl is a boy magnet.

Hmm. I watched Chocolat. It was a good movie, but not as good as I expected it to be. Well, I guess it helped me find my inner desire - to own a Chocolaterie and eat chocolate all day and make out with a pirate. No, seriously.

Well I had tutor today. I thought I wasn't gonna make it because my parents were a bit late in coming home from their shopping. They bought new beds and mattresses for them and my sister. They promised to buy me one later.

Yeah, so it was about 4:13 and tutor starts at 4:15. And I was worried because Dad never forgets when I have tutor. I thought they were in a car accident or something (I know right, they value my education so highly that I believe that there is a higher probability of them getting into a serious accident than simply forgetting). So I called Dad's mobile and there wasn't any answer. I told my grandma about it and I suggested me walking to tutor (it isn't that far away) and, well, the conversation went down like this;

Grandma: Are you going to school tonight?
Me: Yes, I'm supposed to be there now.
Grandma: Where's your Dad?
Me: I don't know.
Grandma: My Gosh! You poor child. Don't they know you have class? What are you going to do?
Me: I think I might just walk to tutor.
Grandma: My Gosh, no! You know how far tutor is away from here? Once you get there, you won't even have the energy to learn! Here, I'll call your Aunty (Kathy's mum) and she'll drive you!
Me: But Kathy lives right next to tutor. It's okay Grandma, I'll walk.
Grandpa: Listen to your Grandma!

Dad came home just when I opened the door. I love my Grandma and Grandpa. Ah, they're so cute. My Grandpa's deaf in one ear so my Grandma kinda gets annoyed when he doesn't hear her. Like, she'll be making him lunch or something and she'd scream for him to go downstairs to eat it, but he wouldn't hear. And then she'd be all cranky when she comes upstairs to get him. She'd be yelling at him and he'd take it, and at the end he'd be like "ha, what d'you say?" Then she'd threaten to take away his lunch and then he'd say that he was only joking.

Haha, that must've been kinda boring to read. I just love them so much.

Helene

The Seth, Summer and Helene love triangle

Okay, so I made a mistake. I know I shouldn't've done it but I can't really take it back now.

Yeah, I bought Season 2 of the OC. I'm sorry Chemistry, I know I've been putting you off quite a bit lately. But that's only because Ryan and Marissa keep taking my attention away from you. And damn Seth Cohen. Why does he have to be so...Seth Cohen?

Argh, I know. How teenage girl of me to be obsessed. But it's just one of those shows. What Dawson's Creek was to the 90's, the OC is to the early 2000's (Gossip Girl seems to be defining the new era). Ah, I stayed up till 2 last night because I said that I would "not stop watching until Seth and Summer got back together". It took about 4 episodes of suspenseful goodness until the result came. And I think it was worth it. Well, for a start, I can eat again.

So I haven't done much in my holidays. I went shopping with Kathy the other day. We went to Parramatta on the day of the Nader's robbery. We're alright, if you were asking. Haha, yeah, well Kathy bought some boots and I bought little bits and pieces. Nothing too interesting.

Umm yeah, should start on the study. I've been talking to other people and I feel pretty behind. I'll blog more later.

Helene

Happy Easter ya'll.

Hey guys.
Happy Easter. I hope all of you guys got as many easter eggs as I got hot pot.
The Asia way of celebrating Easter.
Haha, nah, it was actually just a thing that we had for my dad's side of the family that I can't really explain in English. Tre exclusive for the v to the i to the e to the t to the namese.
So yeah, haven't been up to much lately. Ever since holidays started, I've just been cruising. Done a bit of homework, but not much. Just hanging out and attending tutor classes. I think I've turned into a youtube junkie. Seriously, check this video out; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUbjwIimy5M

cracks me up EVERY time, without fail.
Hmm, so yeah, went to Kathy's house on Saturday to attend that tre exclusive family meeting thingo. Did not do much. There are some photos on Kathy's blog of me and my little niece Annabell. I look like I got slapped in the face with a tuna fish though.
Ooo, linkage - kathy's blog; http://life-as-a-ly.blogspot.com
yeah i typed that out from memory so sorry if it doesn't work.

Umm, yeah. Planning to go shopping on Wednesday. It will be the first time in a long while. Might buy some clothes. Maybe force Kathy to watch Dragon Ball Evolution with me. I so want to see that movie. Hmm...yeah, I also want to grab a few books. Feeling a bit teenage girly today so I might buy some romance novels (though, not twilight. I don't know, I just don't like that sort of stuff. When the twilight craze first started and everybody was like, "OMG, LIKE, EDWARD CULLEN FTW," and I asked, "who's Edward Cullen?" about 10 girls, all at once, gave me the evil eye.)

Hmm yeah. Oh and on the subject of youtube, Kathy introduced me to Natalie Tran or, in the world of youtube, 'communitychannel'. I reckon she's hilarious. Check her up the next time you're youtubing. I think she's funnier than happyslip, if you're familiar with the youtube.

Haha, yeah, so I don't really have anything to say about my life. It's not like I have this overly dramatic, "oh my god, i love him, he used to love me but now he likes her" bold and the beautiful sort of love life. The HSC is my boyfriend. It's official. I even joined the facebook group. That's right, I kiss and tell.

No crazy parties. No drunkeness and passing out (I've never been drunk in my entire life, does that surprise you? I mean, I do seem pretty hardcore, aye?) Haha, and not that much getting into trouble. I haven't even gotten my license yet (don't give me that patronising look).

Oh yes, on the subject of patronising looks. I really dislike people who patronise others. Who patronise me, to be precise. I mean, even if they're good at what they do, they don't have to make it clear to absolutely everybody. I extremely dislike how people comment on your life and pick out little things about it and go "Oh, I'm better at this than you. I'm much more knowledgeable, here, I'll give you some advice, pro bono." Who criticise you for things that you really didn't think were that important, but are what they think are important as those things are what makes them better than you. I mean, it's hard to explain. Well, I try to help people. Okay, I sound like a complete up-myself jackass, but I don't go around putting others down for not knowing how to do what I do. And when I'm helping them out, I don't show off what I have. You know what I mean? Argh, too hard to explain. Oh, and those people who judge you without even knowing you. It's like, "oh, you're a nerd. you study all the time. I guess you don't have any friends or participate in any extra-curricular activities." (I wonder who this 'nerd' is?) and think they're better than you because of that. Because they're more 'social' and apparently will have a 'brighter future' because of it. I know, you're probably picturing me as some asian girl with framed glasses being all emo about everything. Sigh. At least not that many people read this blog. Please don't judge me. I hate being judged.

It's late at night. I have to get my sleep, or I look like the Grinch in the morning.
Night-o's.
Helene

Alright. So.

My half yearlies are finished (!).

But I'm not sure how I did in the majority of them (sad).

Anyways, so I have two weeks of holidays. And I might go shopping.

But I MUST study harder. During half yearly time, I was just like, "what the fizz have I been doing for the past half a year?"

Anyways, oh I'm on youtube. If you can find my channel then congrats to you. My sister made me put it on. The sound quality is crap. If the sound meshed better it would've been a more accurate representation of my daily life.

Anywhos.

Oh yes, on the subject of webcams, here are some more piccies of me and Hannah:

Creative, yeah?

She teases me for not being able to take a pretty picture. I showed her.

Oh hey you can add videos to this thing.

So yeah, that pretty much outlines my everyday life living at home with my sister.

So what else has been happening in my life I hear you ask. Well, nothing spesh, not planning anything big in the holidays. Maybe a bit of chillaxing, a bit of baking (an activity which carries more significance than you think) and mathematics. Ooo there's this line from Common's song, 'universal mind control' where he says, 'charismatic, Asiatic, I hustle for mathetmatics'. I need to form a gang of Asian calculator yielding mathematics machines and then have that as our theme song. Big plans, big plans.

I haven't been listening to that much music lately. I've been straying away from the cool indie crew and have been trying to fit in with the hip hoppers. I stand out like a lone white kid. But hey, we cool, we chill, we down with it.

Doing nothing is a great thing to do. Ever since I got home, I've been doing nothing. I haven't even changed yet. I'm still in my uniform. My hair is also pretty funky at the moment. And I'm actually kinda sleepy.

I'm typing out worthless dizzle while the video uploads. Is it supposed to be taking this long? Ah, the internet and its mysteries. Oh yeah there's that internet supervirus going around. Hope my laptop isn't sick. That would suck. I just got this thing. What is that internet supervirus thing anyway? Is it really called that internet supervirus thing? Or does it have some street name, like the Y2K bug? What does Y2K even mean? I need to read up on computers.

My mum says that I've been getting pimples on my skin - "the only thing which you had that was good". I have to admit, the skin on my face was pretty sweet. I guess the exam stress got to me. More sweat came from my head. I don't know. Oh gosh this must be boring to read.

Oh wait, I've been listening to a lot of James Brown lately. He is just how Eddie Murphy describes him. "Get up offa that thing" and "Get on up" are two of my favourite songs. He really makes you want to get up and do things.

I should stop rambling. Enjoy the vid.

Homie Helene.

I have a laptop.

And I took some mad-ass photos.

Yeah, I have these really good ones but I can't be bothered to post them up now. Maybe later.

Yes, this is how I deal with exam stress.

I like this dress, but too much?

An iconic Christian Dior dress from the 1949 collection, known as the Junon.

Hey all,

Okay, so I'm bored. Might as well compile a list of things I want to buy.
(I know, I sound very materialistic, and usually I aim not to be so...well...superficial. But I haven't been shopping in months. My parents buy all my clothes for me now (which is alright, considering that they have this spectacular sense of style)). Anyways. Here's the dream list:

1.
High waist stretch skinny leg jeans from witchery. I realised I only have about 3 pairs of blue jeans. 4 is a much nicer number than 3. I've been dying to get a high waisted jean, it just looks so much more sophisticated than those hipster ones (and much warmer for the tush during winter time).

2.

Kimichi Blue Mix Print Mesh Cami.
Pretty. Very pretty.

3.


Mary Jane Peep-toe by Colin Stuart. Perfect.


Sigh. Haha, so that concludes my wish list.

Biolomogggyyyy time...

Helene.

Thank God it's a Friday

Sup homies.

Alright, so I got nothing cool going on at the moment. Experiencing a lot of mixed feelings towards the half yearlies.

It's a lot of "oh yeah, I'll be right" mixed with an "Oh God I'm going to die".


What happened at school today?

I guess nothing you would like to know about.


I've been getting a bit tired lately. A couple of headaches as well. I still have those nose bleeds every so often. According to Prison Break, a brain tumour seems highly likely.

Oh gosh, I miss when that show used to be good. I mean, it's alright now, but I reckon they should've stopped it at about...well i guess about season 3. Although Season 2 was crap, season 3 picked it up a bit. Season 4 had potential, but it just got too...complicated. It used to be this good kind of complicated. Now it's more like the Bold and the Beautiful with felons (well, not really felons, if you watch the show). I guess Wentworth Miller is holding it up with his good looks. Yet another man to put down on the list of my "cool guys".

Oh yeah, we got our formal notes today.
I've been thinking about a formal dress (I know, I guess I'm a bit early, don't you judge me!)
Anne Hathaway was wearing something nicer at some Awards show, so I tried searching up for that dress. This isn't it, but I guess it looks okay.

But then again, white isn't exactly the best colour to go in.
It looks a bit too 'deb bally', and murgh. I want a long dress, but this dress kinda looks a bit eugh.

Okay, formal dress shopping/searching does bring out the teenage girl in you.

Hmmm...well I have heaps of time to think about it.
So I'll study now, and think about the formal later.

I'll see yas later,
Helene

Some cool boys

Minh Chau said that my blog was boring.
So I decided to liven it up with some attractive men.

Zach Braff


- plays JD on Scrubs
- i reckon he's one of the most hilarious guys on earth
- although, after watching some of featurettes on some scrubs dvds, he can become a bit of a diva
- nonetheless, i reckon he's easy on the eye


Lupe Fiasco


- i'm in love with this man. his music is meaningful, he brings it back to earth.
- he raps about the important shit, ya'knowwhatimean?
- i agree with his philosophy on racism, and how to eradicate it. i love his way of thinking.
- i saw him live and i swear he looked at me. (!!!)

Well, they're not models.
But they're beautiful people.

This is how I feel today

I'm hoping to God that none of you recognise that as me.

Haha, well I can't say that I'm looking as happy as the photo suggests.

Maybe a more accurate image would be something like...
is it just me, or can't you post more than one photo on a post?

ah, damn you technology.

Check out what I found.

I'm on my old computer and I was looking through some old pictures (i.e. procrastinating).
This photo is of me and Kathy. We decided to take a photo with Dean Geyer (cos he's justh stho dayum hotttt!) Oh God.

I have more stuff here, but I'll save them for later posts (don't wanna waste all my material now).

I'm hopeless with computers.

So I tried to change my skin.

Fail.

I hope you all like the coffee cup on the top left hand corner, because, with my expertise in computers, that's not going to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Ever since I started this blog, it's become clear to me how boring my life is. I have nothing to talk about. It's all just HSC, stress, study, stress. Sigh. I want this year to be over so I can go out there and experience the world.

My little sister continues to hold her title as the most annoying person in the world. The only thing which shuts her up is probably the internet. I know I shouldn't let her go on all that often (I don't want msn language to ruin her english. If she starts saying "lol" aloud then I don't know what I'd do.) I know I know, I shouldn't diss my own sister on the internet, but gosh, she's the only thing I can think about blogging about. Sad, I know. Hannah, if you're reading this, I love you very much. Please don't get mad at me and hide the house supply of chocolate or forbid me from playing on your DS. I'm 26 on that Braintraining thing. Hannah's 20, but that's only 'cause she cheats on that "how many words can you remember" thing. She writes them all out on a piece of paper and then aces it. Dr Kawashima will not be happy if he finds out about that...

You guys should see me play Mario Kart. I am pro at that game*. Cooking Mama used to appeal to me, but the prospect of making a pizza while I could be improving my Brain Age is just plain boring.

I should get Pokemon.

Oh gees, I feel sorry for people who are reading this. Please tell me your life is not as sad as mine.

Haha, I should go do some work now...

See ya later alligator,
Helene

*Only on courses which are pretty straight and involve only slight turns. Courses which have things you can bump into or drown in = fail.

First proper blog

I should be doing my biology notes right about now.

I'm not all that enthusiastic about school at the moment. I know, it's about the worst time to be all 'whatever' about it. Half yearlies are in two weeks.

I searched up 'Hurlstone' on youtube the other day and found myself watching some graduation slide shows. I have to admit, I shed a couple of tears. Haha, that's kind of sad considering I don't really know any of the people featured in most of them. I reckon it was just the combination of 'Time of your life' and year seven photos which brought about my sense of nostalgia.

I reckon I'm going to bawl my eyes out at our graduation ceremony. It's all so close, but so far away. This time next year I probably won't even talk to the majority of people I see everyday at school, and that really is a big thing for me. If you know me, you know I don't like change. I hate it when I have to climb out of ruts I've taken so long to dig.

I don't think I'm up for this kind of stuff. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up yet. I have no passion for anything. I admit I have interest in things, but there's nothing I really love. I despise people who get all consumed in something and enjoy doing it. I just think, "Lucky them, they get to pursue something they think is worthwhile." I'm not a complete cynic. I guess I'm just jealous. When I try to force myself to enjoy something, I just think that I'm feigning enjoyment, feigning passion.

No, I'm not being all emo about it. Haha, I guess it seems that I emanate the typical Generation Y paradoxical characteristics - apathy and emotism (I made 'emotism' up). And, considering I'm typing all this up onto a blog, I reckon I deserve a ribbon for "epitome of Gen Y".

Hmmm.

Well, those biology notes aren't going to do themselves.

I'll blog more later.

My first blog.

In my quest to exploit all the avenues to which I can further my ability to procrastinate, I've started a blog. Take that, HSC.

...

I'm drawing a blank on what to write.

I'll blog later.
