So I've been watching one DVD after another, downloading songs after songs, writing/reviewing/editing stories, and photoshopping until my eyes blur. Ah, the joy of holiday. =P

DVDs: After endless searching, I finally got a copy of A Walk to Remember and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Yay! A Walk to Remember is definitely one of my favourite movies of all time, and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants just fits so well with what I'm going through these days that it made me cry and laugh at all the right moments.

But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this and in somehow holding us together when it felt like nothing would ever be the same again.
Some things never would be
But we know now that no matter how far we traveled on our own separate paths...
Somehow we would always find out way back to each other.
And with that, we could get through anything.
To us. Who we were, and who we are. And who we'll be.
To the pants.
And the sisterhood.
And this moment, and the rest of our lives.
Together and apart.

I've been quoting that line everywhere. The sequel is great too. Recommended if you're a girl and thinks life is changing way too fast.

Oh, Marley and Me = awesomeness. I bawled like a baby at the end, but it's got some funny moments too. If you've ever loved a dog, you'll most likely love this movie too.

Songs: Downloaded A Walk to Remember soundtrack (Switchfoot is awesome here, and I do like Mandy Moore) and Kris Allen's version of Falling Slowly. He might not win American Idol, but I adore his voice, especially if he sings ballads like this one. ^_^ Still looking for Adam's last performance, but I can't find it anywhere. =/

Stories: Well, I've made a promise to do NaNoWriMo this year (for those who don't know what it is, it's about writing 50k words in a month). I still don't know whether I'd do it in November or July, but either way I'm doing it.

Photoshop: Who knew making a 100x100 icon can be such a pain? I'll post results when I manage to actually make some.

One week left to the national exams! I'm starting to get really worried. =/ Definitely gonna go on an internet and TV diet starting Thursday. =p

Today's tests went alright. At least, I'm confident with Indonesian. Math... not so much. I was feeling good while doing it. It wasn't as bad as the last tryout, at least. But then I compared my answers with my friends and didn't feel as good anymore. *sighs*

Currently listening to a lot of Idol's songs. My top 5 is Adam, Danny, Allison, Kris, and Anoop. Yes, Anoop hasn't been very consistent. But when he's good, he's good. ^_^

Also loving Miley Cyrus' The Climb. It's the perfect song for what I'm going through right now.

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

I finally figured out the new blog, much thanks to Thania for the guidance. :P

Well, there's nothing super interesting today. As predicted, my legs are sore thanks to yesterday's run. And I just got home from school at 5 p.m. But today wasn't that bad for me. I had some laugh, thanks to Elien and Stella. The script was also done (finally!), copied, and distributed to my group. I'm slightly worried about my part (I'm playing a slightly insane girl who's somewhat overbubbly) Tomorrow's the first practice - in front of the whole class - so hopefully it'll go well.

Just need to finish my English assignment and I can rest on the weekend. Hopefully.

Anyway, American Idol Season 8 has begun! I know it's only the auditions, but I just can't stop watching. The bad ones are hilarious (though I feel bad for laughing at them, but the judge's reactions are sooo priceless sometimes. :D), and I like guessing which good ones would make it to the top. That way I can root for them from the start. I remember watching David Archuleta's, David Cook's and Brooke White's auditions, and those three end up being my favourites. :D

Well, it's on again right now. So I'm off. Talk to you soon!
