People want a lowdown of my life as always

Here it is with my boy J Jonas's gifs. 

So here's my late year review (for last year)

So this year was the year of firsts.

Not a gif. I'll continue

I got my first real job.

Not the right Jonas, nor a gif

I caught a plane by myself.

Just like this, I failed. I sat in the wrong seat

I went overseas without my family for the first time.

I survived!

I started uni.

It's great. You should all do it. Really. Much fun. Yes.

Which made me forcefully learn how to make friends for the first time in like, ever.

I mean friend. Just friend. JUST BE MY FRIEND OK!

I renovated my first room.

Heyooo!

My hair is now finally on point.

Thanks for the approval sticker Joe.

Food is a passion.

I love you food. You love me too.

See I don't know if I'm loosing weight or gaining weight though.

Dilemma.

I took time out of my day to appreciate Joe Jonas and read his essay.

He's a deep person

I've just matured as a person really.

I actually can't grow a moustache. I'm proud of that though.

And with that, I pat myself on the back. It's almost like I solved all of the worlds problems. I've just achieved so much.

I've been told to write out my feelings for sociology.

Yeah, you know that subject I have a love hate relationship with.

So we've been told to do emotional log thing as often as possible. Now we all know I like blogging, but like, I do it when I feel like it ok.

So here goes nothing.

Emotion: Awkward

The painter is now inside my house singing Vietnamese songs to the window he's taping up. I don't know how to react.

There is less than a metre distance between us and I feel way to uncomfortable.

Now he's given me a fright. He's doing that thing where the headphones are in and I can't hear any of his music and he's just singing a line every minute or so just out of the blue. Though I actually just had a heart attack because he just belted what I believe to be the chorus of the Vietnamese version of Livin' on a Prayer.

Maybe he's just celebrating because now he's out of the cold harsh winds and inside our warm, but not actually that warm, house.

Maybe. But I still feel awkward.

This is for the bus drivers out there

So this is in honour of this photo Humans of New York posted of this guy with this caption:

I had just boarded an 86th Street Crosstown bus today when the driver got on the intercom and declared we were on the "Party Bus." During the 10 minutes I was on the bus, he told five jokes over the intercom, made everyone smile at the person to their left, and conducted a guessing game involving three-letter body parts. On two separate occasions he made everyone on the bus sing Happy Birthday in honor of passengers who had birthdays "coming up in the next couple weeks or so."

Ok I've never had a bus driver this cool. How lovely is this guy??

Seriously?

But I've had some pretty top notch drivers in my life.
I'll give you a list of the nicest things bus drivers have done for me/the bus. And it's been pretty darn nice.

• Waited for me outside my house while I got ready for school (He had gotten used to me being late and making my friend late too.)
• And when I was really late, he'd wait for my friend and I while we ran to the bus stop in our chunky school uniform and my 300 bags that I carried. (Backpack, sportsgear, badminton racket, camera, change of clothes for afterwards and of course a 3kg bag for lunch)
• Bought candy/chocolate everytime I or anyone on the bus fundraised for something
• Makes sure I get to my house safely, then honks and waves goodbye as he continues his route
• Makes the bus kneel and helps those in wheelchairs and using prams off the bus
• Calls me gorgeous (but I've been told this is creepy so I'm catching a new bus but hey, a compliment never killed nobody)
• I have been given an actual tour by a bus driver. They whole bus thoroughly enjoyed it.
• When our bus drivers switched, the one coming on made us clap for the previous bus driver for doing such a good job.
• Played The Best of Michael Jackson through the bus speakers. That was all I needed that night.
• When my friend forgot money, he let her on the bus for free and gave her money for the bus ride home.
• One was just a hipster. I genuinely couldn't deal with how exciting it was. I made up a rap about it with my friends.
• BOUGHT THE BUS CHOCOLATES FOR CHRISTMAS!

So Bus Drivers.

I believe that you guys have one of the most major influences in peoples daily lives in the most minor way. 

• You're often the first face a person interacts with or at least sees once they leave the house, and often the last when they go back home.
• Which means you ensure how smoothly our day will start or end
• We volunteer our safety completely into your hands
• You're our tour guides when we're in a foreign land. Which means you now the place well. Which means you're a perfect example of a local in the town.
• Which means if you have road rage, I won't want to move to the country as I'll probably have road rage too when I drive here especially as I would be a new driver in this country.
• When you ask someone how they are doing, or just say hi when they get on the bus, it really makes their day. Especially after sitting in the rain.

But I just want to say thank you for doing all the things you didn't have to do (I mean seriously! Chocolates! Beautiful people) and getting me to places safely even though you're driving a massive bus that I fear will tip over every time you turn a corner.

P.S if you haven't been to NZ, then honey you have no idea how winding the roads these guys have to drive are. They are amazing!

Look at this Beast!!!

And with that, I have finished this trimester.

I still have 2 essays due and a exam to go. But like, forget about thaaaatttt...

So I've heard rumours that people want the lowdown of my life? Is that true? Yeah it is.
Ok so here it is folks with suitable images of this lozo, Zach Galifianakis....

I have a job. An amazing job that is with some great dudes. It's awkward hours but it fits my schedule perfectly and it's a dream and a blessing and what bad syntax in this sentence and it's perfect for what I want to do later in life.

From this job, I have learnt a lot, like the many millimetres of film and it's effect on the quality of the film and what not.

I've noticed weird drinking patterns amongst my peers. Not as intolerable as last year though Hmmm... stay tuned.

I've fallen in love! It's so beautiful-but we'll never see each other again so....you know...

My food obsession has just gotten ridiculous just like my fitness regime.

I've become open to my friends about my love for the Jonas Brothers.

I've gone through a few bags, so I've decided to take better care of my bags.

I genuinely only eat sushi. It's just cheap. And delicious.

The list of films I need to see has decreased by around 5% thanks to my good ol' Film course.

My fashion choices have become ris-kay. But I love it. (But modest)

I've become more giving x100 because I finally earn my own monaayyy

My come back lines have just become funnier by like x100

I've become emotionally attached to random as crap.

I'm also now too attractive for me own good.

That was a joke.

Yeah this is my life right now....

Things I think while sitting alone at uni

• Ew. Why don't people throw their rubbish away? All I can smell is who knows how old sushi that's less than a metre away from me.
• People are totally judging me for alone in a sitting in a four seater.
• I want to pee but I don't want to carry all my things into the bathroom with me and risk loosing my four seater.
• I am waiting for a 'friend.'
• A breeze just came in and that sushi scent has wofted my way. Yum....

• I really hope no one is looking at what I'm doing over my shoulder like I do to others during my lectures.
• I came to uni to study. NOT online shop!
• If I look around for long enough, maybe I'll see a friend who'll sit next to me.

• Only losers write blogs while at uni. 
• Only losers write blogs in general.
• Unless it's actually a good blog.
• This clearly isn't.
• Thank goodness no one can hear the Jonas Brothers playing through my headphones.

• Writing a blog counts as studying for media right?
• I'm bound to have one friend free at uni somewhere. They'll totally walk past me eventually right?
• Are you a student or a lecturer? I can't tell.....
• The amount of rubbish on my table genuinely makes me look like I've been here for 3 days.
• I do have a home.
• I'm not hipster enough for the people here.
• Listening to the Jonas Brother's first album is telling the story of my life.
• I'm going to pretend I received a txt from a friend who's coming to meet me soon. I'll look around to make it seem like I'm scouting for them just in case they can't find me when in reality I'M ALONE

• Is that red pen on my hand or blood?
• Oh my goodness if something bad happens to me like this robin flying around me attacking me, I'll have no one to laugh it off with and will be flat out embarrassed!
• Dangg I need to leave. Ok I'll look at my phone and make it seem like my friend has txted me to meet her somewhere.

But first, let me tell you about American Idol season XIII

In reference to the constant 'But first let me take a selfie.' 

I WANT TO KILL THE WRITERS OF THAT SONG. IT WAS THE MOST AWKWARD PART IN THE WHOLE OF AMERICAN IDOL HISTORY. WHY DID THEY PROMOTE THIS SONG. I WANTED TO DIE.

Sorry to start on a bad note. Just the stink hiccup we have to get over. Moving on...

This has got to be one of the greatest seasons of American Idol. People really need to get back into this show!
Idol has had some oops and floops but they've had some good seasons: Season 11, 10 just to name a few (I can't be bothered going any further)
Season 12 was experimental-we don't talk about it. (But Nicki? Really? No. Worse than Ellen's season. In Macklemore's words: wot-wot? wot? wot?)

Yes, some of my favourites weren't in the finals, a lot of people just fell off the face of the earth-we somehow lost connections with contestants i.e Munfarid Zardi who just died but was resuscitated when he just randomly showed up in one of the later episodes to be cradled again by Harry??-then at the same time there was the whole 'who on earth was in the top 13 before Majesty was eliminated? But seriously, who?

Here's some quick little mentions of what made the season so good before I get into my disappointing statement:

1. Harry Connick Junior!! He's like that dad you kinda want. Nothing he said ever made sense and he did bizarre things but he made everyone else more comfortable and his criticism was top notch, forcing the other judges to up their comedic and criticism game.


2. The little dinner catch ups are so cute. They're so obviously staged but it's still kind of interesting to watch....


3. The little chats they have and sing-alongs in the car were quite entertaining too. Though it was an obvious promotion for Ford, it seemed like a seamless other segment.


4. The comical contestant photos with their numbers on it. Even I knew they were horribly photoshopped (HIRE ME! I CAN DO A GOOD JOB! PLEASE!) but they were such a good idea!
I die everytime!


5.The return of actual performers i.e comedic entertaining contestants! MALAYA MY LOVE!


Long live these guys though. Am i right?



6. And these hilarious cast members reenact those little stories they share before they sing and it's top notch! Makes it 100 times more interesting.
I couldn't find an image of my arguement so here's Sam Woolf just chillin'

And most of all they contain performances that don't need half naked gals running around. (hmmm x factor! This is why you're cancelled.....)

But!

I called for this idol intervention because:
Whatever happened to Idol Gives Back?



I don't have statistics but I'm pretty sure that this was the most watched episode.
Yeap.
I'll keep my word on that.

But was this not the most brilliant idea in reality TV history? I thought that this would be an annual thing, and it seems like it hasn't.
SO WHY NOT?
Give me answers Idol!

This was the episode that pretty much put a halt on all the craziness of the show and just made the contestants and everyone else around them think: 'man are we blessed.'
Not only that, it managed to conjure up a whole lot of donations for causes in America and Africa too.
And it was also nice to see this television giant donating money AND time for the good of others that need it.

Even Miley was normal when it was on.


And we learnt that no matter what the conditions, Simon actually wore the same thing to everything.


So next season, please revive Idol gives back. I don't have many reasons as to why you should but I think one reason is enough: It's the right thing to do.
