holidays

hey there ma peeps it's Dulani here again, sorry for the prolonged periods of silence.....is it me or does it seem like I've been apologizing a lot lately?...or well, it's the holidays so I'm sure you people can understand my dilemma....too melodramatic?

Well it's not like my holidays have been all that glamorous or anything but you learn to make do and so far I'm having the time of my like! It's not that I've been too ever-so-magnanimous-spa during my vacation or what not (not that I'm saying spas are awesome or anything...I mean how much fun can you have with a stranger touching you??? Calm down all the spa enthusiast out there this is simple my opinion)

I've been mostly at home so far but I'm sure you all agree as I've come to realize there truly is no place like home.....

Preferances...

What is it that makes us like things? I mean each of us individually have our own preference. But what is it that makes us like the things w like?

Me personally, I’m the kind of person who falls hard. In other words if I like something, I love it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in to anything freaky, it’s kind of boring even.

I love reading, watching movies, music, dancing, writing…(off the top of my head) But how do we like the things we like? Is it encoded in our DNA or does it develop along with our personalities?

Basically I have no idea really….but while I may not know exactly how I love the things I love, I do know whether I love something or not (confused???) Well allow me to enlighten you; it’s the rush you get when you do something you love.

For example; I read and I do know that reading might not seem like an-ever-so=extravagant-activity, it’s something I like. And so here I am grinning like an idiot with an elevated heart beat and butterflies doing the tango in my stomach…all because I found a darn good book. (Did I mention that I go out of my way when I like stuff?)

Not to sound sappy or anything but I do believe that our preferences our something beyond our control. And for each of us to be able to enjoy something that we were meant to love_ well that makes us incredibly lucky.

 These  little details our what makes up our lives and these are what twenty years from now we think about when we look back on a life lived…

An Angel Among Us

Okay one thing that I have to mention or my existence in this planet will be obsolete....(too dramatic???) is Teddy Bear Buttons.Shes our dog, but calling her a dog could be considered a capital offense in my family.....she's more like the princess of the family (and nope that is not ridiculous at all!!!)Anyway let me get this cleared up before anything else, she is by far the most perfect thing on the face of this earth....and fair warning I shall keep on mentioning her from time to time because like I said she really is the love of my life....now now people don't judge, besides if you would have met her you would know what I am talking about....

five years ago I met someone who would end up changing my entire life....I was in the seventh grade preparing for an exam at school when my sister and I got a message that there was a puppy who had wondered in to the school and of course people would tell us about it since we were kind of reputed out to be die hard animal lovers.So the only logical step was for us to forget all about the test and locate the infamous pup...obviously.Though she may have not looked like the divine angelic fur ball she is today (what with her having no fur and all that) in fact if I was going to describe the state she was in I would like to use my mum's words and say that she was basically a "mess". But we still managed to, by sacrificing our ability to obtain a good grade for the geography paper, convince our mum that it was time we extended our family and adopt a pup.....

Looking back now I have never been more grateful that my mother had said yes that day.And all the trouble me and my sister went through to bring her into our home has been worth it because as I sit here doing ...whatever it is that people do at 11 o'clock at night (basically homework) who sits right by me all night long??? My very own little domesticated angel....

STUDYING

Is it me or have any of you realized that the closer we get to the exams the more fun life is??? I'm not saying that studying is fun. Heck no, its just that when exams are around the corner I suddenly get an urge to play cricket or maybe even read a book. don't read huh? 

But for people out there who do read  you'll know what I mean . I mean don't you smell a good book a mile a away? and don't you just have  to read it??? Even if its not just reading like when you are studying as little time as you do study, don't you hear all these awesome songs that make you wanna breakout in to a dance? Or is it just me???? 

 Common who out there honestly wants to study??? ( for those of you who genuinely raised their hands_ respect man...) but as you might have already guessed I'm not one of them;So basically what I'm saying is exam time is awesome for me because while some kids may cramp the primitive urge and keep on studying I'll just go read that awesome book or break out dancing.....

I mean I would rather do anything else than study, anything else at all...probably,

Basically my theory for this is that we all know after the exams it's the holidays the best time in the year so maybe just maybe our brains haven't exactly figured out when the exams end and when the party really begins...so instead its a jumble of study stress n holiday excitement...n fr people like me its just a jumble of excitement :-P

But of course when the marks finally do come out ....that's a whole different story ;)

A good/bad day

           

                    I'm a glass half full kinda person, but I should still mention that today was an exceptionally awesome day. It wasn't that school was good or anything, it was just a regular "same-as-every-other-day" kind of day (and honestly aren't those the worst kind???) So as I was saying there were a number of reasons for today to be a well..... a glass half full kind of day;
a.I didn't fall on my butt.
b.I told the time correctly every time I was asked.
c.I appeared very smart in front of my class by answering some questions, correctly (believe me that doesn't happen too often)
d.I got a 19 out of a possible 20 for an exam...!!!!!
e.And the final and most likely reason for me loving my day... I came home and danced.
   I know you must be thinking ... but let me tell you tell you that it does wonders. It kind of gives you a ummm...how do I say this... a warm and fussy feeling okay no that does not sound right it just makes you feel good about yourself.You don't even have to be that good.
   But as they say for all good things they are bad things_ okay nobody really says that but you know what I am talking about... yep you guessed it, I have to go and study, and I am sooo gonna do it, maybe, probably okay okay fine I'm not going to study.....
    But I am serious about the other part though, music and dancing just makes a lot of things better.

     So next time you feel down or even if you have nothing better to do maybe crack on some tunes or bust a move rather than just .... well not doing it. But don't get me wrong dancing is just my way of letting loose I'm sure we each have our very own quirks that make us feel better.
     So after mumbling on for so long what I think I'm trying to say is the fact, whether or not you are gonna have an awesome day all depends on you.....................
.........................................

My Day

              Hey guys its Dulani here again. School was especially brutal today and I'm absolutely exhausted.
and of course the fact that I manage to publicly humiliate myself every single time doesn't help either....and no I am no kidding. It's not like I do it on purpose or anything it's just that when I'm put on the spot light my brain freezes and I say something completely out of the blue...yeah I know yey me!!!! -_-
           
            Since I'm a self proclaimed "how- to-avoid-embarrassing-situations" expert (not that I follow my own advice) let me give you a few pointers.....When some guys in our class who have -ever bothered to talk to you before are forced to share the same parking lot with you after school you might no wanna do the following (wish I had someone to warn me before hand)

GUY !  :  (smile)
ME       :  (gulp)
GUY 1  :  (turns and says something to guy 2)
GUY 2  :  "Do you go for any class?"
ME       : (open my mouth,but nothing comes....so basically I'm standing there with an open mouth)
GUY 3  : (gives me a weird look that say "are you having a stroke or something?")
                                         GUY 1, 2, and 3 move away
                                                5 Minutes later
GUY 1  : "hey what's the time?"
ME       : (panic and stare at him and then the watch and then him again)
GUY 1  : ( gives a sympathetic look)
ME       :Ahhhh....eight....(and of course the time is 2 o'clock)
                                             GUY 1, 2, and 3 leave
             It's not like I'm a total moron or anything I mean I'm awesome at public speaking it's just that when it come to making a complete idiot of yourself well... I rock at that too.

                Moving on I just watched the new Percy Jackson movie!!!!! (did I mention that I love the books?) yeah yeah i know it's way too close for the exams for me to be be watching movies but - since this is me we are talking about....let's just say movies and me go way back.It was kind of a disappointment though _ not that the movie sucked or anything it's just that when you wait for something for a really long time your expectations tend to kid of be quit high.It was kind all like with Dark Knight Rises...I mean after watching Dark Knight you would never think the sequel_ or in fact any other movie could ever even compete with it but then I had to go and watch Dark Knight Rises..all I can say is MIND BLOWING!!!! I mean who could have sen that coming, what with the joker gone and all that I didn't think they could do any better, boy was I wrong.(is it weird that all my analogies seem to stem from movies???)

.         Well basically what I am trying to say is that the movie could have been better, not that I'm complaining or anything ...god knows i needed a good break after the i had.Plus having to watch Logan Lerman isn't necessarily a bad thing ;)..........

            If who ever out there isn't a movie fan like I am ( or even if you are but are totally fed-up with my never ending chatter please bear with me...) I am not trying to turn this into a movie review or something - though that would be utterly awesome - it's just that I do mention these stuff because I absolutely love it!!!!
     
       So what I'm basically trying to say is coming home after a tough day ( whether you publicly make a fool of yourself_ repeatedly, or any other kind of bad situation) it's nice to go back to the thing you love....cause no matter how bad your day was you know you'll definitely feel better after....:)

NARUTO!!!

      I can’t believe that it took me so long , but, its finally time to talk about the awesomest thing on the face of this planet and that is non other than  Naruto. Yep u heard me Naruto only the greatest most awesome thing to be created since …well….creation….(and no I'm definitely not exaggerating)

Those out there who have watched it know exactly what I'm talking about. It’s an anime but not just any other anime…only the awesomest one ever created (please bear with me) The reason for my mentioning this is because well Naruto is a quit important part of my life.(like only the-most-important-thing-ever!!!!!)

    Even though I have watched the latest episode since there is no appearance from him I m a bit cranky these days plus the fact that the term tests are just a week away and I haven't even began to study only adds up to my stress levels 

On a side note……….,

     Ahhhhhh!!!!… I hate the fact that the tests are already here. And I was just beginning to enjoy school. I know I know I m not the first kid to say that exams suck and I m definitely not the first to sat that I absolutely can NOT wait for the holidays, which according to my sources are on the 5th of December (December 5 th I'm coming for you…-_-)

Well that’s it for today, and this is me signing of reminding the world how truly awesome Naruto is…..:P 

2nd chances

       Now now don't go thinking just because it says second chances that this is some sappy heartfelt post about turning your life around and all that (not that there's anything wrong with sappy heartfelt stuff...) This is my second post and so far I have no idea what I am really doing.....(but honestly who does????)
But if you haven't already guessed by now, I let you know that I m a major sucker for the written word, so something as trivial as having no idea what to talk about isn't gonna stop me. :D.

      And since we are already on the subject of the "written word" I be the first to ask, people how awesome are books???? now whoever thought up the word geek just now_ not cool man, not cool.One day I 'll be this super awesome author and  I can rem anise about the good old days of me desperately trying to acquire some followers....okay .....sorry it got a wee-bit sappy there for a second....anyway as I was saying books...or to be exact I have been waiting for what seems like an eternity for the new Percy Jackson book....Heroes of Olympus: the house of Hades and i was finally able to get it yesterday....but being the ever-so-studious-person that I am I shall gracefully wait till my exams are over to read it...NOT..

     Okay let's see other than books (please stop about the geeky thing already) what else is truly awesome in life??? I'll give you one word, MOVIES. i mean it is really unfair that people remember folks like Einstein and Alfred Nobel and they forget the true geniuses of the world - the people who found movies!!!!
And i strongly believe that al movies are awesome, while some maybe nice or interesting others happen to legendary...

       Don't agree with me? One word_ Star Wars (or is that two words?)is one of the greatest gifts man kind will ever receive- and no I'm not exaggerating....

                            okay okay......I mean honestly how darn cool is that ????????
Those of you who haven't watched _ GO AND LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!! (too much???)Okay since this is my second post and since I"v already made a reference to Star wars I,m feeling quit good about about myself.....
  Don't get me wrong the list doesn't stop there it goes on and on but for the rookies out there all you have to know is that Dark Knight, Iron man, , Man of Steel, Real Steel,Star Trek, Fast and the Furious,.......(and a whole lot more)..............are all that you need to turn your life from great to truly, undeniably Awesome.....

PILOT:The Birthday

Helloooo people!!!!!!!!!its Dulani here and first of all I would like to thank all you awesome people for reading  my blog ( even if you did accidentally stumbled upon it your cooperation is much appreciated )
So to start things off  I'd like to say, today is my birthday!!!!!! (thank you thank you... i am very grateful for your wishes) so as i was saying.....when i realized that i was turning 17, - after recovering from the initial shock of how truly old i am - i thought hmmm... I should do something about this...so.... i decided (with a "little" help from my sister) that ;
                                                a.  i should grace the world with my awesome presence (okay... scratch that i don't want people thinking that i m a snob....well not right away anyway...)
                                                b. i should do something different this year.....SO.........
here i am with ma very own blog. i haven't really figured on exactly what this is going to be about, but..... the details aren't all that important now is it????
   okay so like ma birthday and i got up at about 6:30 i know i know way too early to be up at that time on a Saturday, but i figured today is an exception :). i know what you people might be like " dude its just your birthday stop making such a big deal about it but since i am 17 now and that means i m a bit more wiser than i was a few hours ago i had an epiphany, i was like,
                                               "holy smokes i m sooo gonna die soon!!!!!!!!!!" ( i m just a ray of sunshine aren't I???)
 and thus i decided that i should do something useful :P. (if you are currently bored please bare with me it gets better...hopefully) So anyway lets talk presents, I got cash from my parents ( hey I ain't complaining money is really important) which I shall save for now.
          I asked my sister for a fedora for my birthday.... you know one of those swanky hats.....common people don't judge!!!!! .Has anybody ever seen White Color???? i mean how cool is Neal Caffrey ????? huh????And she remembered!!!!!!! So as you probably guess now... i m running around with a hat on ma head, pretty cool huh? B)....

Did i mention the soft toys???? okay okay fine so i m 17 and i like soft toys so sue me. I n my defense i only like the ones that kids hate.in other words the more freaky-and-weird looking it is more my style.lets not talk about this any further...And don't worry I wasn't all that selfish, i bought her ( my sister Tin Tin comics_ yeah I m that good)
 Another tiny thing i forgot to mention is that i have the flu!!!!! i know its not this life threatening disease but let me let you something the common cold really is the worst kind of punishment given to man. I mean fever, kidney failure, heart attack...all that I get, but the flu makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever.-_-
 And since i have been blessed with the common cold and all its delightful side-effects..(ever noticed how sick people are always overly sarcastic???)So instead of studying for the exams like i m suppose to ( talking about the perils of the exams is a whole another chapter which i shall not get in to now...)i m here to talk about ....well nothing in particular anyway......
 And that's it for now folks! my first official post and I really hope that I do get some followers or else I would be the creepy looser who talks alone in to cyberspace....and nobody wants to become that now do they???????
 And That's What She Said.....:P
