A Day Dedicated To Music ;)

Ever wake up to a perfectly beautiful day and decide to make it worth great memories? Been there, done that!

This weekend, the weather was just perfect, and somehow, I was in a brilliant mood (he he) . So I decided to dedicate that day to music. I switched on my laptop ( not for Facebook, surprisingly) and got to work. Since I cannot read sheet music, I went on to Youtube for help. I looked up so many tutorials, but ofcourse, none were too great. I finally stopped at Yiruma's River Flows In You. I just love that song. It totally soothes one's soul.
Then I tried playing this other song that's  in my synthesizer already ( Yamaha PSR E223 ) I guess it's called prelude which means the beginning. It's pretty awesome and not that difficult to learn. I haven't finished learning to play the whole song, but I'm halfway there.
After that, I sat with VH1 on for a long time. Good music was on, so it was totally worth it! Oh and guess what the best part of the day was? At night, I put on some awesome Dub step music and head banged for like an hour! That was the bestest part!!
This blog wasn't really good but I just wanted to share my day. It doesnt sound like much, but believe me, it was awesome! And remember, always write Dub step with a capital "D" cuz it deserves the respect! wub wub wub!!

Dragons!

We all know what dragons are, right? They're these mythical creature (most probably Greek or Chinese). They're sort of reptiles, with a tail and wings. They are said to me daemonic creatures, according to the Bible. They no longer exist, for you moron heads out there.
 

Regardless of what others say, I find Dragons to be pretty cool. I mean they are mythical, gorgeous, AND they breathe fire. How awesome is that?! Dragons can be loyal you know. I suggest all you book fans out there to read Eragon (the first book), Eldest (the sequence of Eragon) and Brisingr(the third part of the trilogy). It's about this boy in Europe in them old days who finds a Dragon, and raises her. He soon learns that he is a Dragon Rider. Epicness much? Another book that I am currently reading, is Raising Dragons. This boy learns that his father is a dragon, and so is he. He's running away from his evil, dragon-slayer, headmaster of school. I haven't finished reading it, but I'm pretty sure it's brilliant, because it has got me glued to it.
And for the people who worship the screen. There are a lot of Dragon movies in store, you know. The most famous, perhaps, is 'How To Train Your Dragon'. It came out on 2010, and was a big hit. There is also a movie on the book Eragon, and you should definitely check it out.(P.S. Edward Speleers looks SOHO cute in it!).
Dragons got their own Swag. You can't say anything against that. You know what Yin Yang is, right? Well, ever heard of the Yin Yang Dragons? It's a combination of some sick powerful concepts. I'm a little too lazy to explain the whole thing, so if you're interested in knowing bout these Yin Yang Dragons, read at  http://feng-shui.lovetoknow.com/Yin_Yang_Dragons .
Do you guys know that whenever the Chinese people celebrate their New Year, they have these beautiful dragon costumes. There are at least five people inside it, and they dance around putting on a show for everyone.
 

There used to be a lot of Chinese people living near my old home, and every time they celebrated their New Year, my father used to take me and my brother to see their performances. At first, I was definitely scared of the dragons. they look furious. But I soon fell in love with their beauty. They're really cool. 
I've got this Dragon tattoo on my bag.

And what bout this hot Dragon ring I got from Thailand? 

Let me know your opinions about dragons, and feel free to ask anything about em( not like I'm a Dragon encyclopedia or something).
Love,

SNORKELING- A Real Life Experience.

22 December. 2011. Thursday.
Thailand. Phucket. Phi Phi Island.

We took a boat from Patong to go o Phi Phi Island. I just wore harem pants, a tank top with a sweater. I had a top and a pair of jeans with me. That's it. i thought I would just get a little wet. I didn't even carry my swimming costume. We were enjoying ourselves on the boat. Then the boat stopped and the man announced something. I couldn't make out by his accent. So I went to my family. And my father said to me "You ready? we're going snorkeling." i was taken aback. I didn't expect that! I was shocked, excited and scared! And then everything happened so fast! We got out life jackets, masks (the goggles with the breathing straw attached). I checked for the paddle shoes,  but none fit me perfectly. Then there I stood. At the edge of the boat. The snorkeling mask loosely on my head. I stared at the water below me for some solid five minutes. I saw many people diving in. They looked happy. So many strangers. So many strange languages. I barely understood what they were saying. too much commotion and too much noise. I could hear my mom, dad and aunt scream at me to dive in. I spotted my cousin in the water. I was not ready. Not at all. It seemed impossible and dangerous as hell. I wanted to back out, at that moment. but a little voice inside me spoke. "It's now or never, Zaina. This is what you want to do. You need adventure, thrill and adrenaline in order to survive. Jump." And unwillingly even before the small voice finished talking, my legs jumped. In a fraction of a second, it went from total riot to pin drop silence and peace. I felt relieved, and inspired. I was still underwater. I struggled to breathe and found my way up. I've drowned before and chocked on water. But this was different. I was in the wild, in the ocean, and it was salty sea water. I couldn't breathe. At all. I managed to make my mask off and gulped in tons of air. I was chocking, struggling to breathe and coughing at the same time. I couldn't have managed to float at that moment if it wasn't for the life jacket. I saw my uncle and a lot of other people clinging to the boat and the rope of the anchor. I started swimming towards them, hoping for aid. I saw my brothers there too. None of them were snorkeling- only struggling. "Zaina are you okay?" asked my uncle. I wanted  to tell him that i wanted to back out, instead the words "Yeah, I'm fine." stumbled out of my mouth. I guess it was that little voice inside me that made me say it. I realize that the 'little voice' in me controls me totally. After a few minutes of floating, I put my mask on. I didn't go underwater, but it was still difficult to breathe. I did it again and again, to get some practice. Then I tried it with my head down in the water. WOW. Now that's beauty. I could see corals. But the beauty didn't last long. I couldn't breathe and came up. This was really getting difficult for me. I gave it another shot, and another, and another. I finally got a hang of it. I saw some girls at a distance enjoying a lot. I instantly missed my friends. But I decided to go back to my snorkeling. And this time, I aced it. It was mother nature at her best. I could feel every second. the moment reminded me of the deep sea diving scene in ZNMD. marine fish swam around. I could see people all around me, but I felt no one's presence. It was just me, nature (the water and the fish), my heartbeat(which I could hear), and my heavy breathing. Some fish swam by and I felt jealous. Oh, what a life they had! I counted every second and every second felt like an eternity. I wanted to do this much more often. What luck had i scored. I put my head out of the water and the scene totally revolved. the riot and the noise was back. i didn't like it. So after a few minutes, I went back inside. I enjoyed my 'blueish aqua tinted view' to the fullest. It just couldn't get better. i stayed still. And a school of fish (probably tangs) swam right past me. Usually, I would be very scared but now, I guess I was just living the moment. I saw a fish an inch away from my face. The beauty of it never ended. There were some tinier fish biting me all about, but I just ignored it. Snorkeling was just too good. We go out of the water and into the boat as our time was over. I took a shower and was full wet. I got a towel from somewhere and wiped my hair a little. I sat on a seat my father sad saved me. The wind blew past me and tried its best to dry me. I just sat there battling the wind, looking out to the water and archipelago and taking in the moment. Yes, I was living the life I wanted. I felt cold too, because the AC was on and it was windy and my wet clothes stuck to me. But I didn't let that bother me. I had been snorkeling. One thing off my checklist. i would sooo definitely recommend people to snorkel. It gives you a whole different view of life and the paradise god has gifted us- earth. I just fell in love with the moment. I wish I could do it again. And again. And again.

Oh Thailand!!

Hey!!! It's really been a long time since I've blogged. Heck, I just started this :P So anyways, getting to the main topic. Thailand. It was the second time that I visited. That's the reason I didn't really want to go. Why repeat a place? The world's big, go explore! But my family had already made plans, so I had to play along. :/ So anyways, last week, my dad, mum, bro, aunt, uncle and cousin brother left for Thailand. We reached Bangkok first. Then we went to Chiang Mai for some day (damn that city is beautiful). Chaing Mai really had the Christmas feeling, and I enjoyed that to the fullest. I mean having Starbucks Coffee outdoors, with a view of mountains at the background and a busy night market right in front = Awesomeness. haha. Anyways, from there, we went to Phuket. We were in the Patong district. It was nice. We went to Phi Phi Island for a day and I went Snorkeling ( like a boss bitch B|) . The next day I spent burning myself in the beach. I still have the horrible tan any my skin's all bad :/  well, anyways, we also met up with some of our Thai buddies from school (and had free food. hell yeah!) . Then we went back to Bangkok. And believe me, all the 4 days in Bangkok was for Shopping.And now that I'm unpacking my bags, I barely find anything for myself! That really sucks, don't it? Anyways, Thailand this time wasn't oh-so-great. And that's a little disappointing to me. And yes, I found the people a little too mean (no offence). I mean, c'mon man, can't you just say things nicely and calmly? No need to start a fight all the time! LOL anyways, Thailand was alright this time round. Have any of you been there? Plans on going there? Or maybe some suggestions of where I should go next?

FML Exams kill me :(

OHEMJAY! Exams are just so pathetic! My 8th grade half yearly's started on Friday 25th Nov,'11. My first paper was English Language so nobody had a sweat for it and we basically aced it. We had the weekend ahead. Today I had my ICT, and in my school, 8th grade ICT exams are kid stuff. So once again, no heat. BUT tomorrow, we have chemistry, and I'm SOHO screwed!!! I mean i'm good at chemistry and all, but I seem to be blocking out on everything I know. The formula's are just somewhere in the air, totally out of my reach. Oh gawd, someone help me! And I just realized that we also have moles. Dammit! It's 8:10 P.M, my exams are tomorrow, and apparently, my cousins are coming over now. FML. i was doing some practice sums (for the first time) and I was sort of okey in them. The ones I got wrong were basically because of some stupid math mistakes ( Let me tell you Maths is sooo not my strong point! I'm basically flunking math! ) I think there are a few more sums in the text book, but i'm way too lazy to look for them. For some reason, the fact that the exams are here, just hasn't sunken into me yet. It's just that I feel frustrated with the idea of exams. I dont appreciate sitting in the examination hall. The exam papers makes me pissed. Even though i had prepared, or know the answers these feelings always come up. I dunno what I'm gonna do tomorrow in chem exams. Literally. I dont know if I have prepared enough, I dunno if I know the answers to the questions, hell i wasn't even sure of our syllabus until last night!! WTF is happening. Everything feels weird and akward all of a sudden. Since I started writing this blog. Hmm.. What do I do now? I feel so blank. I guess I should take up tutions. After the half yearly's. Yes, I should definitely take up tutions. That's like the only possible thing that can help me ace. Not only in chem, but in all the subjects.

OEMJAY! I'm such a sore loser. Look at me- all depressed because the exam is tomorrow, blogging about how I might fail, and not studying. seriously what's taken over me? oh gawd. Bless my soul. I'll probably blog later....

Go Rabbits!!

A few weeks back, I bought a pair of rabbit earrings and they're soooo adorable!! The other day when i wore it to school, a friend of mine and I got really hyper. We started cheering for rabbits and the whole day we went like "GooooooRabbiiitsss!!" Yes, people thought we were freaks. But it was soo worth it :) So since then, rabbits are the shiz. I remember having a pet rabbit when I was kid, but we soon had to give it away. Last night, I went all bonkers for rabbits. I totally freaked out. After begging my parents for HOURS, I still can't have rabbits. FML. But I'm still obsessed with them.
Goooo Rabbiittsss!!!!

The first pic is of my earrings. the rest are just adorable. Blogging about rabbits- I feel like a 6 year old scout girl now. Sighhh!! -.-

Black's Back!

I guess Winter's code is Black again? I like it! What do you think?
