Royal Wedding


Everyone is obsessed with the royal wedding. It gets annoying but at the same time I somewhat understand why the girls and women would be excited. Every little girl’s dream is to marry a prince and live happily ever after. That’s what we all read in the fairytales; the big white wedding in the church with the bells, the big dress, and the handsome prince waiting at the altar. Seeing a common woman marry a prince, makes girls everywhere see that dreams can really come true. But I think that marrying the real prince isn’t the most important part, it’s being happy. Many women are able to find their prince charming in a regular man they fall in love with. I would much rather be happy with a normal man, than live a stressful life with a real prince. But of course, that is just my view of it. The royal wedding of course, was beautiful and dreamy. The bride looked amazing in the white dress with the lace and the prince looked very handsome in his uniform, even if he is balding already. But the biggest topic was the hats. The ugliest hats, everyone would agree were the hats the of the prince’s cousins. One had a blue thing that looked like a boat with feathers on it and the other was a circle on her forehead with a huge bow on top that had the ribbons coming down the side. I think hats can be very nice and I know they are part of the fashion in England but those were just way too exaggerated. So that was the real life fairy tale wedding which every girl dreams of, with big white dress, the church bells and the prince.

NYC


So over spring break I went to New York City. It was amazing! We got in a cab early in the morning, from the airport and drove to Times Square where our hotel was. As soon as we started approaching my sister and I spotted the tall buildings with the bright lights. We were so amazed at the beauty of it all that the cold didn’t even bother us. We got out of the cab and just couldn’t stop staring at all the lights and buildings. When we got into the hotel they said we would have to wait for the room to be ready, but there was so much to do and see we couldn’t just sit in a lobby and wait. We left our bags there and set off into the concrete jungle. We spent the next few days doing things all day long. We walked up and down Times Square like 100 times and just went everywhere. We took the tour bus to the empire state building and the statue of liberty which really are amazing places to see. We went shopping in many places as well and it was loads of fun. There was just so much to do, so many places to go and so many things to see it would take ages to write everything I did.

Blog Blog Blog

What do I think about blogging? Well, I really don’t think much of it. It’s a good place to voice your thoughts or maybe just write about any random thing. I don’t really enjoy blogging that much because writing is not my strong point, but it’s nice to have somewhere to share your thoughts sometimes. I think blogs can also be good places to find advice and get opinions. Some blogs are just stupid and the people who made them really have nothing to do. Those are the blogs who are just about what people do each day or how their life is so boring. But there are also the interesting blogs about interesting topics, or advice. I enjoy blogging when I feel like it, but sometimes it can get tedious. I think it’s good when the teacher makes us have a blog for school because it helps our writing but it can also be frustrating when you can’t find anything to blog about. This post is a mandatory one where I have to write about blogging and I think it’s good when the teacher assigns the topic as well because you don’t have to look for an interesting topic and then figure out what to say about it.

Apology


I know many people owe many apologies, and sometimes those are not delivered. I know many of the people I owe apologies to have already forgiven me, and others don’t even think I need to apologize, but I want to. There are also those who want me to apologize for things I have not done. I will begin with those so I can end this post on a happier note. If you think you deserve an apology from me because I don’t talk to you enough, then you won’t get one because effort has to be put on both sides. What I mean is, if you don’t talk to me I won’t talk to you either because I’m tired of always putting so much effort and getting no effort in return. So if you want me to talk to you then why don’t you try talking to me first for once? To those who I have hurt I am deeply sorry. I don’t believe I am a bad person and I would never do something to purposely hurt another person. I’m sorry to those who I affected with my mood swings, I know I can get moody, and those who stand it, thank you for being there for me. I’m sorry to those who I took out my frustration on. I only did it because it’s easier to take it out on the people I love, than the people I don’t, because I know they’ll keep loving me no matter what. I’m sorry to those I hurt with my words. There is no excuse for saying something to hurt others, it happens a lot, but that doesn’t make it ok. So I’m sorry to those who I have hurt.

Music


Music is a very big part of my life. When I’m bored, I listen to music. When I’m doing math homework, I listen to music. When I’m in the car, I listen to music. Whether I’m alone or surrounded by friends, I always listen to music. But music also has a meaning to me. I listen to different kinds of music depending on my mood. Many times I also have songs that remind me of different people or bring back a memory. When I’m sad I tend to listen to sad music, where the lyrics roughly contain what is going on. When I’m happy, I listen to music I can dance to or that just has lyrics that tell happy things. Whenever I listen to a song for the first time with someone or they show me the song, I often tie that song to the person; and every time I listen to it, I am reminded of them. Another way I tie songs to people is if the song says a lot about the person or my relationship with the person. Sometimes songs can represent memories, like if I am with my friends listening to music and we are having lots of fun, that song can remind me of that memory. Other time if I am at a party, dancing or having lots of fun while a certain song is playing, every time I hear it after that I am reminded of that memory. So music is an incredible part of my life… whoever invented it was a genius! I don’t know what I would do without it.

Player


Human beings are the most complicated creatures on Earth. I happen to be in the middle of some of the most complicated of these species. One of the most complicated of these species is The Player. There is always that guy with the mysterious personal life who loves to play around with girls’ feelings. They change their mind form one day to the other and you can never really tell if they are lying. I, unfortunately very often fall for this kind of person. They use many strategies to make you fall for them, but they just drop you in the end. One example is they make you think they like you by always talking to you and complimenting you. Because you think they like you, and they make you feel good about yourself, you fall for them. Then, when they know they have you, they just stop acting like they used to, and often stop talking to you completely unless you talk to them. Many times you find out all the things they told you about how they like you are a huge lie. This has happened to me enough times for me to learn something from it. I have finally learned to not fall flat on my face when this happens, but to at least fall on my bum, where there is some cushioning. What you have to do when you encounter this kind of situation, is not give yourself in completely. Let them know you’re there and you like them, but don’t fall head over heels for them until they catch you first. Some are completely hopeless and those you just really have to stay away from. Though I have had this experience quite a few times and can tell you how to handle it a bit, I am still completely clueless about what goes on in this kind of person’s head. Maybe they think: Oh she’s attractive, I should make her like me so I can seem cooler and then just pretend I never liked her. Or maybe they want to prove themselves and think: I’m so cool already but if I can get her to like me that will just prove just how cool I am. Who know… maybe their minds really just are complicated and they change their minds that fast. But I generally advise you to go for the guys who are not like this and actually care.

Beach


I love going to the beach. It’s my favorite place to be, no matter what. It’s best when there aren’t many people around. I like going to the beach because it gives me a feeling of freedom… The vast ocean and never ending strip of sand just make it seem like I can walk forever and nothing can stop me. When it’s sunny I like to lie on the beach and tan while just thinking about how great life is. It’s also nice cool off by going for a swim and feeling the water cool my body while the waves bob me up and down. In the afternoon I like to go for long walks or just sit and look at the ocean and waves while thinking about life. If there are people around I like to just observe the word around me. I love to be with people, but when I’m on the beach I just want to be able to do whatever I want without anyone telling me I can’t do something, and I usually go with my sister and cousins because they feel very similar to me. The beach is an amazing place where I feel completely free.
