I'm sorry I haven't been very active on informing my life on vox. I've just been really busy and guilty speaks, surfing and having fun on other social sites such as Facebook and twitter becaues they're something new. I still love vox and honestly, I think it's one of the best blogging sites I have ever used, the longest in fact. However I feel vox is starting to lose that.....difference. It feels...kinda dull nowadays to me. Or maybe it's just me cause I haven't been active as usual. Hopefully that this will change soon.
However I do still check up with my neighbors. I know that diamond also has the same view as me of vox losing it's shine as she puts it. I'm actually surprised she said it and glad she did because I don't feel like I'm the only one who feels this way about vox. However this second change to my theme does make a difference......*side tracking* who knows? I might just return to normal blogging again :P but I am not saying that vox suck. I still think its a kick ass blog.
Still, I will update but may not be as often as how it used to be. I am considering on changing my url though...since vox allows it.
Two days later, this was created as well. A form of stress relief :} something from me.
Right now I feel like pointing at my computer screen and tell my assignments to just bite me for all I care. Four weeks of school left...oh joy....I need to like slam my head somewhere. Oh no....cranky eyes....
Just an update of my life...I think my post title and this really short post kinda tells you how I'm feeling right now....
Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn’t make up for all the time we’ve been apart. I know how much I’ve missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even if their parents aren’t rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.
I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you’ll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.
Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free—that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.
That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.
She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better—and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It’s a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.
I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you’ve had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much—although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.
These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
Love, Dad
They are such a beautiful family and I support Barack Obama! - Me :}
Gosh I wish I had been there to witness this! This is like freakin awesome!! I can't get over the dance :} really puts a smile on your face hahaha
:O I'd fall in no time!
You have to give it to Beyonce to put on a show like that.
I enjoyed the music vid plus the dance, very interesting and fun to watch. :}
Plus the concept of black and white made it more entertaining.
You know what just miffed me? The fact I written I nice good post and for some reason within that post, it changed into my vox page. That has happened like for the third time...
So...I'm not bothered to type it all over again. Instead I'm going to go point form for this.
- Not too crazy about my haircut
- Got the biggest knock out this week for procrastinating my assignments
- Granny came arrived yesterday (she is staying for a week)
End of point form. And here's....Bleach!! :}
After a wee long holiday in Florida and New York, I have to say I'm back. Please don't reject my return :{ nah I'm just kidding :P Right now I am suffering from a sore throat due to the fact I have not been drinking a lot of water during the past two weeks and the sudden climate change just took a toll on me. It is really warm here in Singapore and I kind of miss the cold mornings in Florida then nice warm weather in the afternoon. New york was just a tad bit too cold....there's snow.
My eight days in Orlando was great :} and you do need at least a week in Walt Disney. As for Universal Studios, just two days are enough. Every night we come back to the hotel, we just crash.
Let's see...we stayed at the Swan and Dolphin Hotel. I was honestly not so impressed with the hotel but the room we stayed in was really good. We had a junior suite and got it at a really good price. ;} it's good to have a family member who works there. We had like a huge room and a bar side with complimentary chocolates and soft drinks. Damn cool!
As for Walt Disney world, we spent a week there visiting different places each day. We managed to watch Mickey's christmas party and I loved the fireworks display PLUS tinkerbell from the castle. I was kinda disappointed with the parade. It was not very well done but the fireworks made up for it in the end. Another thing....why is Cinderella's castle smaller in Orlando than the ones in Japan and Paris which are bigger? Ah well, not sure why.
The only place in Walt Disney World I enjoyed going was Animal Kingdom. At first I thought I would have fun in Magic Kingdom but magic kingdom is the same as Japan and Paris but called Disney Land. Guess that's why I was not so excited for it. Animal kingdom was just so dang fun! I loved The Mount Everest Expedition Rollercoaster and the Rapids ride (water ride). We went on each of them six times in one day. The Mount Everest....after the 6th ride, me and jose felt so sick to the stomach from there all the way back to the hotel. As for the water ride, boy did we get so soaked!!
After Walt Disney, we hit Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (I think that is what it is called). I honestly have to say I enjoyed it there more than Walt Disney. Maybe it is because Universal is more for teenagers and disney is more for kids. I don't know. The rides at Universal are longer and more interesting, then again, I've been to Disney land many times and that does not count.
We got really soaking wet at Islands of Adventure with Popeye and Bluto's water ride and Ruddy ripsaw something water ride. (More wet than Walt Disney, seriously. There, you can be lucky to not get wet but here, no luck at all!) I was freezing from the water. I love the drops at great heights :} so thrilling!! YAY!!
After Florida, we headed to the Big Apple. Boy was it cold there :S snow everywhere!! I don't ever want to go to Statue of Liberty during Winter, it is so bloody cold!! The wind is damn strong and scary. Power of the wind whoo!
The main highlight of my New York days was NIKETOWN! I love the store oh my gosh all five stories of NIKE ONLY! You can't find any nike products there in Singapore, you just can't. Hardly! Overally, New York was not really of big interest to me except the fact I can strike it off my list and say I've been there. Not that I didn't enjoy New York...I think I was more into riding roller coasters and basking in the warm weather of Florida.
So what did I bring back from Florida?
- A monopoly disney edition
- Disney Studio slate
- A stunning mask brought in to disney from Venice
- A beautiful tiger towel that I fell in love with the moment I layed my eyes on it
- A Marvel Encylopedia! YEAH BABY!!
- A X-men Storm Comic ^ ^ I love storm!
From New York:
- A cool nike top
- A pair of nike shoes :} yay!!
I need to get my butt to bed now cause i need to get over this jetlag cause it does not seem like I'm getting over it. So I gotta force this on myself.
Goodnight and sweet dreams to all. I hope everyone had a Great Christmas this year because I know that after the past three miserable christmas, I finally had the best Christmas in a long time. This will be for a post for another day ;} goodnight!!
On Sunday I went out with Michael to watch Madagascar. Oh I still love the movie! My favourite are the penguins. Who needs pilot when you got penguins? You've gotta love them ;} After that we went to eat Ichiban Boshi at Esplanade yay! Or wait was it lunch then movie? Can't remember....oh well.
Japanese good always cheer me up when I'm done. Well momentarily but if I'm in a really good mood, I become happier :P oh wells. After that we walked around Vivo trying to hunt for a backpack for me. I don't have one and I wanted to get one before I leave for Florida.
Yup, I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow and won't be back till 26th of December. Boxing day! So don't think my vox blog is done for. It's just inactive for awhile :P but there is internet provided there so, if I'm not tired, I'll update ^ ^
What else? I'm so glad I got my assignment done yesterday. Man it was so stressing I thought I was going to bite someone's head off. I was in a really foul mood yesterday and pissed at almost everything. But during the BA shoot, my foul mood cleared up and I was laughing again....hungry too.
If you had looked at my links under my profile picture, you'll see that I've added a fanfiction link there. That's cause I've been writing fanfiction of bleach for the past week now. I just uploaded two chapters yesterday before I go off. So far I'm enjoying it.
I was part of fanfiction a long time ago for x-men fanfics but stopped half way cause I lost the interest for it. Now I've started again and I'm doing a Hitsugaya x Karin fic yay! And so far, it's been good. I stopped writing fan fic for x-men not just because I lost interest but because I wanted to write my own stories.
However, for the past three years, I've been having writer's block. Not that I can't get any stories going, I can't decide on which one and how to write it down. So I thought, since I have a great interest to write a Hitsguaya x Karin fan fic and since Fanfiction was the place where it jump started my love to write my own stories, why not sign up again?
So I did. New account, new fanfic, and I'm really happy. I've put my writing skills to the test I think and tried to do as much proper description as i can of places, feelings and people. One thing i learnt, you get stress hahaha not sure if you know what I mean.
yeah im so sorry i'll update tonight :} i promise
so sorry i've been really quiet. I will update ^ ^ soon!!
