Dental appointment tomorrow. I hate dentists. They really love to poke around my sensitive teeth and make me scream inside really, really loudly.
What's worse is that I think it's either at 8 or 9 in the morning. Ridiculous hour. We're stuck with these stupid times because we didn't book early enough as everyone's rushing around trying to get their eyes/teeth fixed before they leave the country for holidays.
WHT
Woke up at 8, got on my day clothes (hair + face + teeth) in less than 5 minutes. I had a big day today... washing dishes. *gag* However, I'm just glad I didn't get stuck with sweep/vacuum/steam chores today. To successfully clean a house to my expectations (I don't normally clean, I like living in my pig stye- but when I do, I like it to be extremely clean), I take hours.
Soaked everything in uber hot water, then hand wash with detergent, then pop into the dishwasher = voila clean dishes/bowls/cups/etc. Then comes the ritual of cleaning the sink, cooktop and cupboards, because- well, maybe it's just our place, but when the place is sticky or sweet, a mass of ants will invade the kitchen and that is super bad news to everyone.
Just when I was washing our sponges, I heard some rapping on the door. I answer, its Sam. A minute later, we (Sam, Cat, I) are heading towards E.station. Bought our tickets from a really nice (what are they called.. ticket master? lol) guy sitting at the booth selling train tickets (==; wow, feel so braindead after watching so much tv) and got to H.station in NO TIME. Then we switched trains, got to W.station. HOLY CRAP. SUCH A GOOD LOOKING PLATFORM. Have you ever seen trees sticking out of the ground where waiting benches are meant to be?
Driven to bleb's place and commenced out One Tree Hill Season 2 marathon where we watched Nathan and Haley battle out their relationship + lotsa nasty comments coming from me. :)
It's not fun watching teen dramas by yourself. Especially ones that go for 7 seasons. I shall go on to mention some of the highlights of season two. Some of you *cough bleb* may not agree with what I think [about Felix] but too bad :)
HIGHLIGHT #1. Seeing 2 players soften up and get together
HIGHLIGHT #2. Seeing Felix. Yes. Felix.
HIGHLIGHT #3. Dan getting a heart attack.
HIGHLIGHT #4. Mimicking Whitey/CMM's gayish accent. OH and the way Peyton says awkward "akwaRRRd"
HIGHLIGHT #5. Bitching about Haley because she infuriates me so much.
AAAHHH teen dramas. I cannot wait until the adult seasons. Will be watching Flash Forward soon. WOOHOO.
OKAY. So today I realised how much I like to munch on stuff while I'm watching tv. At home I'm used to munching on nuts + fruit + junk, but lately we've been lacking in the latter, so I've been munching alot on cereal. However, today we munched on cucumber and carrot sticks. Oh and a couple of bags of asian chips. Which are fantasmo. Hostess' parents prepared an uber aesthetically appealing meal for us (presentation! trays n all!!) but I was being stupid and obsessed with helicopter tv shows so I forgot to pack my camera. 8)
MANY THANKS TO BLEB :D:D Sam and Cat for another really fun tv day. :)
Moving along, today I'd also like to talk about LOVE for materialism. Since I was very, very young, Material Girl has been one of my feel good songs ;D (At first it was just catchy- but now.. it's still quite catchy :) I find that I'm a highly materialistic person- I love my technology (even though it does hate me sometimes), I love my toys, my stationery, and well, of course my favourite actors. Without it, I feel bored and empty I guess. My phone has been dead for the past couple of days and I guess I'm devastated because I use my phone alot more than I should. I rely on my phone to check most of my emails- the occassional twitter, the rare blog post, the latenight facebook, and of course my love to communicate via text and calls to friends. Without it I feel REALLY bored and out of touch.
Haha. And now my parents have virtually taken over my laptop (link to tv to watch) and going on the net from the PC is slow and such a bother- I feel like it's harder to keep doing what I normally do on a school day. What triggered me to really think about it today, was when I found my Samsung Z400 (mobile) in my drawer. Earlier this year it was damaged and we figured it was cheaper to just go on a plan and ditch my original phone. This is going to sound really weird- but I regret not fixing my old phone because I really love it. The entire design of the phone is just so ME and the monkey dangling off it doesn't suit any other phone- perfect size, weight, the buttons are really nice to press, and the camera is of surprisingly good quality.
Shan't talk anymore. Miss you guys :) but at the moment, I'm missing my book more. Almost finished The White Tiger. Finally. :)

TEETH-erific Plans
Saturday, October 24, 2009
xoxo. #2

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND.
Perhaps I didn't need to say that.
The moment the supervisor said "PENS DOWN" a wave of relief rushed through me and all of a sudden the world seemed like a not-so-bad place. It is the weekend. Friday arvo/evening/night - a time to stop and just smell the roses before hitting the books again.
Maths on Tuesday.
WHT- I am so lazy- lovin' abbreviations ;)
Woke, ate, examed, went out to eat.
Ate sitting on the table next to KANNY and she was sitting on the table next to HELENA who was sitting on a table next to HER FRIEND.. whoever they were. That's the thing about the Village. I always spot someone I know. Pretty soon after they left (yerr we ordered twice ;), a bunch of 3 baulko I know of (who do not know me- I am pretty good at internet research ;) sat down on the table next to us and I spent my time split up evenly between shoving food into my mouth, flicking through the lovely present I got from Lucy today (THANKS!) and eavesdropping on their conversation. Oh right, and fending off questions my dad asked about today's exams.
Right this brings me to go on, and on about how much Mod A sucked.
Mod A sucked.
/rant
After that, went home, watched the most recent ep of Vampire Diaries (the beautiful thing about HSC is that you have TIME to enjoy life between exams - unlike the hellish trials) and then er a whole season (minus 2 eps) of Gossip Girl (for the fans: season 2 btw ;) I figured that watching more television shows would give me more ideas for stuff like creative writing. You know what's really good? Mando dramas you find in libraries about history, poverty, war or menopausal women. Yeaaaaaah. Menopausal women. VERY interesting and hilarious to watch (on tv- not IRL ... lol) the stuff they fuss over- the way they think, it's all highly amusing. But yeaaah.
Stopped to do some study - found my lap top.
Read some blogs.
Decided to blog.
Blogging.
Damnit. After HSC I have so much to do.
Over these past few weeks, my dad has been downloading TVB dramas like a crazy maniac and GOSH I have so much I need to catch up on. They keep talking about things at dinner and I have no idea what they're going on about. I feel... alienated. Home... Some say home is the entire Sydney, or Inner Sydney, or even Footscray (where ever the hell that is), or even a bloomin' flower.
But seriously? My home is sitting around the kitchen table with M+D+K. Even though we have our bickering... at least it's entertaining and will give us lots to talk about in the future.
B: lulz do you remember?
K: lulz yeah we were such retards and i dunno how M+D lived with it.. schloohrgghh (not a typo- in the future, there will be a new word for cool. It may not necessarily sound like this- but I picked this. It sounds like onomatopaeia for drooling.)
*sigh*
Watching the Thanksgiving ep of Gossip Girl has made me appreciate my family so much more. lol
Hehehe. HI KELLY- I know you read this. :) :) :)
KAY TIME TO SLEEP - EARLY? I KNOW AYE D: SO UNLIKE ME.
I'm so devoted to Mr HSC ;)
STUDY HARD!
PS. WEEKEND RESOLUTION- maintain strange sleeping routine- wake 7.30 and sleep before 12.30.
ciaaaooooo

Video Update
THIS MAY BE OLD NEWS, but whatever.
Remember a while back, everyone would huddle around the tv to watch MASTERCHEF? and everyone was sorely disappointed when that stupid telegraph article was wrong about the outcome?
WE SHOULDN'T BE DISAPPOINTED ANYMORE
BECAUSE POH HAS HER OWN COOKING SHOW ON ABC, and HAS 2 COOKBOOKS :D
ISN'T IT A GRAND DAY TODAY?
What else? Well after splitting the 5 minute video into 2 parts, I finally uploaded the video is less time. YUSS
It's not that interesting; but the running commentary is quite funny. For those who aren't capped, enjoy!
The Gee video was WAY too long. So I cbb trying to upload it again. I'll wait till my fast net comes back. Can't wait.
Another shocking thing I read about today was about the dude who raped 125 women over the duration of 9 years. Holy crap. Talk about being desperate. He should follow in the foot steps of alot of korean girls/girlymen and get some kind of facial reconstruction/botox/plastic chin/fake nose, etc to enhance the aesthetic quality of his face so that girls will run after him instead.
What's worse is he's married with a kid in pre-school. Wow. People like this shouldn't get the death penalty; but some kind of really torturous penalty that really, really hurts. ETERNAL PAIN. What a monster. ==;
Since I'm on a news rant, here is something else I read about today. THE PARASITIC TWIN LIVING IN A TODDLER'S BODY. Yes. Nature can be so cruel. As if let babies grow in babies, and let the baby be abandoned by original parents, to be in the care of some poor family. :( They can't afford the surgery. Say what?! :(
Now onto some disturbing facts. Last night I couldn't sleep that well, so I decided to check how much of my cap I've used up in the past 2 days. I pressed the "3" button and scrolled down. TO MY UTMOST HORROR, I saw pictures of nearly naked big bossomed females sprawled in vulgar position across my screen. WHAT IN THE WORLD?! IT WASN'T EVEN MIDNIGHT YET! Quite disturbing, but I calmed down when the picture below that was of Taylor Lautner posing with co-star, Kristen Stewart. 8) When I scrolled down some more, there was ANOTHER crazy picture of a female so I just closed the application and started to think about gene homologues to cleanse my brain from all that.
Obviously, all that cleansing was useful, since I didn't dream about anything like that. Baaahahaha. BY THE WAY, the way to pronounce Lautner, is "LAUT-NAH" not "LORT-NER". 8) I hear so many people say it wrong and it just irritates me. Just like how some guy at Swot Shop used to call me "BLINDOOR" (lol doesn't that look like tandoori? HAHA). Freaking ignoramus. I told him so many times. "The proper way to pronounce my name is BEL-IN-DAH" and he'd always say something stupid and pointless like "HOKAAY! *head wiggle* BLIN-DOOOR". NGGH. Even thinking about it frustrates me.
But because of him, I've been able to tolerate alot of names I've been called. These include Blenda (gosh, my boss wrote that on my pay envelope!), Beyinda- wtf? I don't even know how that came to be :( actually, it's not alot. Just these two gayones. XD
Once I was checking out some groceries at Coles, and there was this girl called "BILLYNDER"
HOW COOL IS THAT?
If my name was Billynder, I'd get everyone to call be Billy. Which is a cool name. Especially for a girl. 8)
But no. No such luck for me. I get stuck with a boring one. D:
Humdidum. So yes. This concludes my 2nd blog for the day.
==; I talk so much!
ciiiaaaoo
pohpohpoh :)
PS. Michael keeps mentioning this burger shop to me, and I really want to see whether their burger tastes as good as he says. HERE IS THE POST he made about it. If I ever go (hopefully sometimes next week~ or even tomorrow, I think I'm free in the arvo Japanese Extension tomorrow, I'll go and try that burger. $4.50 for burger and fries sound pretty cheap!)
People also rave on and on about Wagyu burgers. I've never shared this love for Wagyu beef. In Japan, we went to this Wagyu restaurant, and I think I ate my body weight's worth of beef that day. I feel sick even when thinking about it ==;
The only burgers I eat often are fillet-o-fish at MacDonalds. lol

OHMAGAD
As a few of you know, I've been reading.
OHMYGAD.
OH MY GAD.
JACOB IMPRINTS ON RENESMEE.
What kind of name is Renesmee.
What kind of imprint is this? Wolf + crossbred vamp.
WHAT KIND OF STORY TELLER IS STEPHANIE MEYER XD XD Gosh, her books have given me many lol moments. My parents + sister think I'm watching some kind of stand up comedy show.
I liked the story line in New Moon. Twilight triggered alot of "wtf" moments, but Breaking Dawn and Eclipse kinda sucked. The story sucked when Bella Swan turned into a Vamp. No offence to any Twilight fans, but, seriously, she sucks, and so does Edward Cullen. XD I was warming up to Jacob Black but wth imprinting on a BABY?!
/twilight saga rant. Crappy saga. Bahaha. Crappy love story, but interesting turn of events.
BACK TO READING THE CHRESTOMANCI SERIES. :D DIANA WYNNE JONES ROCKS MY SOCKS.
A couple of months ago, I found it a tad embarrassing to walk into a library and head to the youth fiction shelves to pick out the Chrestomanci/Roswell novels, but then I discovered E-books so. :] It's all great now. I've never actually watched the Roswell series, but I've read EVERY single book and I am super impressed. When I was a kid I read alot of the Sabrina and Buffy novels. Now I can't force myself to pick up a Buffy book and read, because every now and then I just turn around to check if there's some kind of evil magicker standing behind me. The same happens when I'm watching Ghost Whisperer. BUT IT'S SO GOOD! D: Before that, I used to read the Baby Sitter's Club and something similar to that.
Girl Talk was the first novel series I owned. (Harry Potter being the second) Both are incomplete because my mum doesn't believe in buying books because we can borrow them anytime at the library. I don't agree with her. If I had it my way (and lots of money) I'd have my own personal library. There's nothing more satisfying than sitting in a sofa reading a book, finishing it, walking to the shelf and fetching the sequel in the comfort of your own home.
I really like sequels. Sometimes I feel really disappointed when a novel finishes because, well, it's the end- there is no more. No more drama, action, no more anything. So I love series. :) Probably also explains why I liked watching Neighbours so much. Bahaha. Neighbours seems very real, because the people age with us (not like creepy muppets who look the same after a decade), but I guess after so many years the story/plot starts getting recycled and reused, it isn't much fun to watch anymore.
Oh gosh, I suddenly remembered! THE REDWALL SERIES. HAHA Gosh I remember the boys in primary school used to love the books about talking mice, and I didn't pick up a Redwall book until high school. Loved it. Actually, in hindsight, I was a bit of a bookworm. And I went through phases.
Primary school: Nancy Drew, Baby Sitter's Club, Goosebumps (yes there was a HUGE section of Goosebumps books at NRPS :D), Buffy, Chrestomanci etc.
Early high school- mainly series, ie the ones I talked about before.
Later high school- I started reading independent novels- Actually, I have no idea what to call these. Just novels without sequels, and Bryce Courtneyish books. I liked power of one, even though it took me like a quarter of a year to get through the first few chapters, and in yr 10- Chick literature. ITS SO WITTY AND FUNNY! It was also quite bitchy and the story moved quite quickly from one point to another. Kathy Lette, one of my favourite authors HAPPENS TO BE MARRIED TO GEOFFREY ROBERTSON. I sort of understand why I like the humour in The Justice Game. 8)
Ahh. I'm rambling about books and tv. Yes. Didn't have an interesting day today. Late last night I decided I'll stay at home today to study some japext because Wednesdays are pretty er uneventful for me. I usually leave before/during recess- bludge day.
Anything interesting happening before Saturday?
Digressing, I WISH I WAS AS SMART AS THIS LADY. She set up her own online shop and I bet she earns lotsa $$$ doing something she likes.
I never knew these things came in so many different colours (Holy crap at Helios and Bermuda). :/ I saw Cheryl's impressive birthday present and I immediately recognised it was from Swarovski. I feel so educated and learned. Teehee. I'm not sure whether I've blogged about DSK before, but I've been following her since I discovered her site in the very beginning and was thoroughly disappointed when I found out she didn't ship internationally!!! And then that changed, along with her style, and then came the pearls. Not a fan of pearls so :/ yeah. I think she's gone back to playing around with crystals, so those who like shiny stuff, it's a good place to choose something. Her models all look kinda scary though. I wish I was a genius like her and thought of that idea first. Damnit. I do nothing productive except reading nowadays. T_T;
Another blog I read belongs to Tiffany. I know some of you have clicked on the link posted on my blog, so you know what an interesting life she leads. WHAT THE HELL so much happens everyday in her life, and seriously, if you think I sleep little, you'd be shocked upon hearing what time she goes to bed. It's nuts. She's a fashion student, leading a COMPLETELY different life to the rest of us, and I just find it interesting reading about the life of someone else who isn't obsessed with marks and reports and that yucky stuff of sorts.
Then come the food blogs. Over the past couple of months, I've discovered HEAPSand HEAPS and FREAKING heaps of food blogs; they're all really, really, REALLY interesting/colourful to visit, but I won't list them here. Usually clicking on the names of commentors on Grabyourfork or Chocolatesuze will get you to a food appreciation blog. :] Life can be so convenient.
Another site I visit VERY OFTEN, is Ikea. It's just the epitome of great. I spend an unhealthy amount of time on Ikea and Ebay. Not that I ever buy anything! I can't trust myself to set up a Paypal account. I know impulse buying will hit the roof so :) no paypal for Belle. At least until my stable income commences to filter into my bank account.
Funnily enough, I don't really log into FB or MSN anymore. That means no more bejeweled (thank goodness I got over that), Happy Farm and Restaurant City. Hopefully I'll never start playing these games again. With those out of my life, the days have started to feel a bit longer now. Which is a relief, because someone keeps telling me how many weeks I have until the HSC starts. Yes. Thanks. Thanks a whole lot. And apparently we only have 3 weeks of high school left?
A part of me is really, REALLY looking forward to just being on the way towards becoming independent, but the other part is just :/ unwilling, I guess? Once I turn 18, I don't really want to progress onto 19. Nineteen from eighteen feels alot more than seventeen from sixteen. =__=; Once I grow older, I think I'll be afraid of fetching the mail. I know my parents hate it. Bills and invoices. Lol. :) At the moment I usually get happy packages and the odd ugly bank statement.
All is well in the land of Belle.
Hope you are all fine, and STUDY HARD JAPPERS :)
