The Host

Today when I listened to the radio I heard the song ‘We found love' from Rihanna.
When I heard the lyrics 'We found love in a hopeless place', it reminded me immediately of the book ‘Host’ from Stephenie Meyer.
It’s such a wonderful book: it has science-fiction, future elements, love and so much more. You can’t really describe the feeling you get from this book.
And what’s so weird about this book is how it’s written. You see Stephenie Meyer was the one to have written the Twilight series and this book is so different from those books.
I reread the book already several times and just can’t stop, it’s always like a new experience.
What’s more, I read there will be a movie planned based on this book. I just can’t wait to see it! I just hope they can make it as good as the book. Not like they made the Twilight movies.
It’s a pity the movie isn’t planned until 2013, but I will wait patiently and make sure I will be at its premiere.

Me and my sister

I've always been the obedient one in my family.
I never did something to upset my parents,
not because I was a goody two-shoes,
but because it was just me.
I was always the quiet one, the peacekeeper.

Now that I'm older, I want to break out of this image,
to live a little, to explore myself.
But my mum just can't accept that.
She thinks I 'm becoming rebellious and
compares me to my older sister who went to live on her own.
She thinks I'm going to be like her and thinks she arouses me to do the same thing.

Well I'm not like her!
I'm me and she's herself, we're totally different!!
I'm not going to do things because she did it,
but because it's by my own choice.
It's my life dammit! I can do what I want with it.
It's my choice, not someone else's!

I wish she'd just understand.

Heels

So, past thursday, I saw on my schedule I only had two seminars
and decided that since I only had so much of class, I'd go on heels.
I'm not a heels person.
I'm more of a 'clothes for comfort' not 'clothes for looks' kinda person.
Not that I dislike heels, no I do like them,
but it's just that I'm not accostumed to them.
Even if I don't wear them often, when we went shopping last time,
Mum buyed me a great pair of Oxfords and since the moment I got them,
my little sister (16 years old, mind you) kept on complaining to me how I didn't wear them and convinced me to wear it at least once at school.
So I put them on and went to school, deciding it wasn't bad at all.

Oh how wrong was I!!
I hadn't kept in mind how high they were, seven centimeters.
At the end of my school day, my feet hurt like hell.
The next day I put on my flats again

Call credit

I don't have any call credit anymore.
All gone.
All because I've spended it on messaging.
'That isn't so unusual', you think.
'It happens to me all the time'
But with me it doesn't.
This is actually the first time it happened.
Since I've entered college, I've gotten so many friends
and I'm having so much fun messaging them.

I'm so happy ^^

Spanish karaoke

So I once told you guys in an earlier post about my Russian heritage from my mother.
The thing is my dad's a whole other story.
He's from Chile in South America.
Pretty cool huh?
There's actually a pretty story behind their meeting, but I think I'll maybe tell you another time. ;)
What does this have to do with this post?
Well the Chilean commmunity back here, organizes all sorts of activities
and one of them is a karaoke every friday evening.
My nieces, from dad's side, invited me and my sister to join them last friday and so we did.
But there, we heard the catch: There are only Spanish songs you could choose.
We are not fluent in Spanish, not at all.
Our elder sister, can fair well in Spanish, but us? Nu-uh.
I know how to pronunciate and stuff, but really talk? I'll have to practice on that.
Either way I somehow managed to pull off 'La Tortura' from Shakira, just barely.
I stumbled on the words, which flashed across the screen and my notes weren't steady.
Still my sister told me she was surprised I could pull it off, barely.
I know it's the truth, so I'm not offended. :)
In the end we four sang 'La camisa negra' from Juanes together.

It was really fun.
I call for an encore! :D

New start

New year, new start
(Boy, do I have a slow reaction or what, it's almost the end of October!)
I'm going to college now, so I decided to change the name of my blog.
No more Sakura Dream, it's now My Boring Life.
Why My Boring Life, you ask?
Well it's because I've realized how boring my life really is
and I wanna change that.
On this blog I will now still publish the miscellaneous stuff I've always posted,
but I'll also post the extraordinary things that have happened to me.
I'll keep on working to keep my life from turning out boring and
perhaps I'll succeed and maybe not, but who cares?
It's my life and I'm gonna live it my way!! :D

Vacation plans

This vacation I'll be spending once again in my mother's motherland (get the pun? Yeah I'm lame)
Nothing special there as we go there every, I mean EVERY, year.
Other news is I'm putting myself on a ban.
Yep, a ban.
I'm banning myself from reading any manga or anime for the whole while I'm abroad.
That'll be 7 weeks without my beloved pastime,
but I'll manage.
I'll have other things to do.
My sister already knows about it and will help me hold out 'till the end.
She doesn't really like all that stuff and is happy to keep me away from it.
Now all that's left to do is pack up my things and sleep a bit.
We're leaving at four in the morning, or earlier, gotta ask my mum about it, but she's a bit stressy so i think I'll pass on that.
I'll see you again. ^^
