30th April 2008
Hello Dears,
I know I said my last blog of April was my last post but I felt like blogging! So. Yes. Well my first week is going by pretty
fast... it's already Wednesday! 3 days of school ONLY and I
already have a stamp in my diary for incomplete homework but
this time it wasn't on purpose. It just completely slipped my mind. Usually I just don't feel like it, I do have homework but
it isn't due just yet :P
Oh one thing, you know that pretty cute starburst bracelet from my last blog, it BROKE! Ahaha, so I just need to re-attach it and then put a
little sticky tape it make sure it stays. I was tagged by
Khaye to
do
10 interesting facts about me:
1. I haven't eaten plain egg (e.g boiled, scrambled, poached etc) since I was around 6 years old. (The taste repulses me)
2. I have met Teddy Geiger and for any Australian's also Dean Geyer (LOL) and Matt Corby (!!!)
3. I just recently (past few weeks) started to like tomato sauce, before that I hadn't liked it since I can remember
4. If you don't already know, I am a procrastinator, especially when it comes to homework
5. My school is an all girls catholic high school o_0
6. My worst phobia is of needles (to the point of of crying, shaking and getting clammy)
7. But I also have phobias of open water, heights and public speaking (although I can easily converse with anybody)
8. I am Filipino but can barely speak a word of the language (Tagalog)
9. I have two dogs Zoe (meaning "life") and Nirvana (meaning "heaven * ")
10. I love playing Nintendo 64, especially Mario Kart
I tag uh, the first 2 commenters... but if you don't do it, that's okay!
*I am aware that Nirvana does not exactly mean heaven but things that I believe are to happen in heaven (although I am not
very religious)There are many different reasons, if you want to know more click
HERE.
Okay onto other stuff, to explain my title, I was just eating hot chocolate, not
drinking... eating. The hot chocolate
mix my dad bought isn't powder it's like mini chocolate drops and they taste freaking delicious.
Well I will blog very soon!

starbursts and tired eyes
26th April 2008
Hello Dears,
This is probably my last blog for this month! School is starting on Monday, so I will be swamped with work but do not fret,
I promise to blog as much as I do now (which is a lot)! Hehe! I'm alright that school is starting, I've been bored.
Well for a while now I have been wanting to make a gum wrapper/starburst wrapper chain bracelet! I made it and I think it
turned out nicely :)
Nice, eh? I did it while watching Beavis and Butt-Head. An amazing tutorial is
HERE
on how to do it.
On other news, I finally finished
Pride and Prejudice, I stayed up till almost 3am this morning... but I am very happy
on finishing the book! YAY! It's now one of my favourite books of all time. Since I finished a book, it has been added
to my
2008 Book Challenge on the 'Alana' page.
Heh. I'm going shopping today, get a trim (my hair is like dying) and probably a nice pair of black ankle boots :)
Oh and you guys, you can call me Lana if you want, I prefer it ;).

24th April 2008
Hello Dears,
To explain my title (and incorrect spelling, here in Australia) it is the name of the song I'm listening to by Death Cab For
Cutie. The song is pretty cool and very mushy.
Well a few days ago I opened my
Portfolio click
HERE
to visit :) And I am very happy, I have been meaning to open one for a while now, so yeah. The name is pretty strange
"Wishbone and Morning" I don't know where that came from... it just happened.
Anyways, today I watched Beavis and Butt-Head for a while this morning, very random and lame, a lot like me :) I also love their
usage of words such as butt-munch, dill-weed and all their fruitless attempts at "scoring". LOL.
Also my reading of Pride and Prejudice is progressing at a snail's pace. I love the book but I have only read a chapter or
two before bed or reading a few pages in between Beavis and Butt-head episodes. I want to finish it before school starts,
because I really want to concentrate on school because I haven't been doing my best (procrastinating) and I really need
to study to keep my place in Advanced Science and Advanced English o_0.
What I find funny is that I can watch a stupid show such as
Beavis and Butt-Head but also read classics like
Pride
and Prejudice. Heh. Sorry for the lame blog, I can't think of anything, I need to blog as much as possible now!

i've got the munchies.

[EDIT] I have a new PORTFOLIO! clicky
HERE to
visit and please do comment there as well!

Hello Dears,
To explain the title, I actually do not have the munchies, but it was mentioned on the episode of
Brothers & Sisters
that I watched last night. And it sounded awesome. Way better than saying "I'm Hungry" or the like. I'm random I know.
Anyways, after I watched Brothers & Sisters,
Cheaters was on. If you haven't heard of the show, it's supposedly a "reality"
show, where "Cheaters" helps find out if someone's partner is cheating on them. "Investigators" follow around the supposed
cheater and find out if they are really cheating on their partner. If they are, they show footage of their partner cheating
on them which they have discovered. The partner bursts into tears/gets angry and is asked if they want to confront their
cheating bastard boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. They of course do and you catch the drift of what happens after.
The most insane thing happened on the episode I watched last night. It was the "confrontation" stage and the cheater was
caught and after a confrontation with his partner, he ran off somewhere. The host and camera crew chase after him and then
the host then says something along the lines of:
"He could be out here 30 - 40 days, he's a big man, living of the land... eating crickets, mice and straw ..."
I was just like WTF. WTF. Then proceeded to piss myself laughing, I actually fell to the floor in a fit of laughter. WHO IS
THIS HOST GUY? IS HE STONED? And the expression on the host's face was priceless, he looked so
serious! And all I
could think was, the cheater guy just ran off to avoid the cameras, he's not going to become primitive. Seriously. It was
the randomest thing ever.
Oh, on site news thanks for the comments guys! I also added a few tidbits, I added some more fanlistings to my
fanlistings joined, I also added a
wishlist page, this is all on 01.Alana page :)

[EDIT] I added a fanlistings page. Go to 01. Alana page to take a look at what I'm a fan of! [/EDIT]
Today I went to the movies and shops with a few friends I hadn't seen in a while. It was nice meeting up with them! We
watched this movie called
Prom Night it was like a watered-down thriller/horror type movie. Definitely not my type
of movie but it was entertaining nevertheless. I said fuck so many times during the course of the film because it was slightly
freaky but not enough for me to keep me up at night. Hehe. Give me the ring or grudge type movies... then you will have me
losing sleep.
On another note, my brother kinda bought a laptop today; it's his but it's like on a payment plan thingy. His laptop is awesome and
I will have the computer more during school days and other hours of the day ^^, so it's a win-win situation!
A few blogs ago I mentioned I was reading
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I'm 2/3 of the way finished now. It is
an awesome book ^^.
Oh what I forgot to add to my last blog, I now have a link button, to match with the layout, so use if you wish! I also
want to do a plug for
Catherine and
Carly,
who have me linked on their sites under eye candy and the adored of design, which is very flattering and deserving of a plug here!

Hello Dears,
To explain my title, this morning (now afternoon)I have had practically nothing to eat except a few marshmallows and
a glass of coke. I wasn't hungry and could not be bothered to get cereal for breakfast... I am not much of a breakfast
eater due to not enough time in the mornings on school days, but holidays are here, WOOOT! BREAKFAST TIME!
Anyways, just a few minutes ago hunger pains hit me like a tonne of bricks...
seriously I was doubled over in pain. This was just
after I have put some pies to cook in the oven. Now I have to
wait for the aforementioned pies to cook.
On a different note do you like writing letters? I love sending letters.
My friend Athena sent me a letter and I'm going to write back, even
though I could easily send a bebo comment or email. Don't get me wrong, I love the internet. One friend even called me an
internet "junkie"! But letters seem so much more cooler T_T
Just a question to shoot out there, has anyone been to the movies lately, any good ones?

15th April 2008
Hello Dears,
If you read my last blog, I had fun at my friend Nica's 15th. We did lots of random stuff which included her trying to
teach me Karate and me coming second in an extremely not-following the rules game of Monopoly. LOL. I had lots of fun,
being a kid, people grow up too fast.
Anyways, I am super excited for the Twilight movie. The book which I
love, I think will make an excellent motion
picture! Now, If you haven't read the book, you should. Especially if your a girl. And a fan of vampires. And Romance. And heart
melting moments. I know it is the "thing" right now and you may think it's overrated, but it is genuinely a great read.
I was skeptical of it at first but once I started the first chapter that all changed :) The book makes me happy.

holidays are here
13th April 2008
[EDIT] In like 20 minutes I'm going to get picked up for that party I was not able, but now able to attend.
[/EDIT]
Hello Dears,
Finally the holidays are here. My last day of Term One was bittersweet. YAY, no more school for two weeks. NAY,
was lugging around the books I had to take home. Seriously, it was so freaking heavy, I felt
like I wasn't going to make it home.
Anyways, I was looking forward to going to my friend's birthday party but alas, I cannot go due to the fact that I have no ride and
I can't get her present in time! Ahk. This is not a good start to my holidays.
Yesterday I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep, so I started to read
Pride and Prejudice, it is really
really good, awesome actually. I have been meaning to read it for ages and now the holidays are here, I will probably
finish it soon :)
Do any of you guys love
That 70s Show? Because it is awesome but damn that Randy with his boofy hair and un-ericness.

i'm back
10th April 2008
Hello Dears,
I'm back, I had a post here but I'm replacing it with this one ... it was so bleh. Anyways tomorrow is my last day of school,
it's a Mufti Day (we can wear any clothing we like instead of the school uniform)which is great (:
I hope you like the new layout! I
FINALLY opened up photoshop and in two sessions; this layout was born, I like it,
it's pretty snazzy.
Hmmm. Here is a question I ask, should I get a job? Because my allowance isn't enough to buy me all the pretty things I want
and my Mother dear will bite my head off if I ask for money. But I refuse to work at McDonald's. No. Never. Maybe. Last Resort.
I would love for a job in a book store, because I am a book nerd, but they never hire youngins such as myself.
Today at school we did out last lesson of
Ballroom Dancing and may I say it is quite amusing doing the salsa and
foxtrot with another girl. (all girls school ><") It was competition day and my partner was getting distracted by in her
opinion a hot dance instructor.
That's enough shenanigans for now.
