16 Things You Didn't Know About Sleep

The best things come unexpected

I really don't know the best way to start this off. I guess I'll just start from the top. As usual, Monday nights are dreadful cos it's the start of the week. I got home from Uplift, watched Masterchef then the Shire. When I entered my sister's (Sandra) room today, I saw a packet of animal food, which I assumed was sheep food. My other sister (Alice) was in Sandra's room, which was weird becos no one stays in Sandra's room for more than 5 minutes. It was also weird  because the heater was on and the room was so damn warm. So I ignored all that and went back to watching TV. My other sister (Wendy) came home and we all gathered around the TV and this is how the conversation went:

Wendy: Are we telling her now?
Sandra: Yeah, okay, ready?
Alice: Don't freak out..but
Wendy: Whatever you do, just remain calm and do not scream or anything
Sandra: Yeah pleaseeee keep calm becos I know you'll freak out.
Me: Don't waste my time, what is it?!
Sandra: There's a rabbit in my room
Alice: She bought it today
Wendy: From the pet store
Me: What?! I don't believe you, your pranks aren't very effective.

So they showed me a picture of a rabbit in Sandra's room on the iPad.

Me: WHAAAAT?! I won't believe it till I see it.
Sandra: Let's go see it then.

One by one, we raced out of the room and rushed into Sandra's room.

They sat me down on the bed and took out a big plastic container.

and then before I knew it,

 out hopped this tiny

white
&
grey
little rabbit.

Mind you, I've never felt this intense feeling of pure excitement/shock in my life, so I didn't know how to react to it. The first thing I did was start crying then and there. My sisters laughed at me but I kept crying becos it was such an overwhelming feeling. The rabbit is so cute, hopping around the room & suddenly everything started to make sense. The animal food was in fact rabbit food, the heater was on because rabbits need a warm environment & Alice was there since Wendy was at tutor and Sandra had piano lessons. I found out, they bathed the rabbit after school becos she peed on her feet. They gave her pieces of carrot to eat and left some water.

So here's the story. Sandra bought the rabbit after school today for $20 at the local pet store along with the food. idk how she managed but she got it home and till this moment...

my parents do not know. 

That feeling..

That feeling when you've just discovered an artist or singer. If the first song captures you, you believe their other songs will do just the same. You're so mesmerized by their voice, the melody, even how they look when they're singing. You youtube every song and learn the lyrics just in a few minutes. Those are the artists who are timeless. 

Birdy`LanaDelRey`Marina&theDiamonds

Flightless bird

There's this song that reminds me of you so much. Maybe because it's random. I wonder if there will be a time when I get to tell you face to face how much you've taught me...& I just wanted to thank you for that.

Holey shit!

The story on how my sister pierced her ear. 

Sandra: I soaked the earring in salt water first. A lot of people usually use alcohol but if it's bad for your body, it's bad for your ear so I used salt water.

Me: Okay..then what?

Sandra: I held the stud bit of the earring to let it dry.

Me: ...

Sandra: Youtube told me to cut a piece of the apple and place it behind my ear to keep it in place. But my ear was too small so I just held my ear with my fingers. I got a piece of ice and kept it there for a while so it gets numb. Then I plunged the earring into my ear but then it didn't go through. I did this 3 times and on the fourth go, it went through.

Me: & it didn't bleed...?

Sandra: No..but my finger did.

Me: HAHAHAHA YOUR FINGER BLED? BUT NOT YOUR EAR?

Sandra: cos when it went through, my finger was there so it went into my finger a little bit.

Me: You know it's gnna get infected. There's a reason why professionals use real earrings.

Sandra: Nah, it won't get infected becos I disinfected it with salt water & plus I use the spray twice a day.

Me: It's going to corrode in your ear and get infected.

Sandra: No, Youtube said it wouldn't do that.

Me: Well I guess Youtube is always right.

Dream

My ultimate dream would be a high-paid photographer. (High paid cos I need money) It would be just amazing to travel the world and capture the most precious things from each country and possibly city. I was surfing the net and found this photographer's website, which contains beautiful images. Here's the website if you wanna check it out: http://www.simonchristen.com/index.php

Rushing in to never get anything finished.

Yesterday I got home from tutor and realised there was this green thing on one my my sister's (Sandra) ear. It was an earring. I found out that she pierced it herself because she was desperate to get that snake earring, which wraps around your ear. Stupid wannabe hipster bitch. I don't know how she did it, but it didn't bleed and the youtube history was filled with "How to pierce your own ears" videos. I agree, the earring is very cool but piercing your ear just for that is pathetic. I'm just waiting for it to get infected to teach her a lesson. 

For me...

Our generation will be the generation that took things for granted; the generation who didn't make the most out of life; the generation that cared too much about society and too little about ourselves.

It's been a while..

Winter's hitting us in the face every morning when we get up and go to school. Despite that the sunrises & sunsets in Winter aren't like any other seasons. You could say the most beautiful, pastel sunsets and sunrises are in season. It's always the simple things. For me, it's usually the simplicity but depth of words, colours, music, lights and photographs. Taking pictures of sunsets and sunrises is definitely one of the things on the top of my "what i like to do" list. Anyway hope you remaining readers have a lovely holiday. Won't be blogging much!
