Hello Again :)

Long time no Blog huh... I'm sorry about that. I've been busy with school and stuff and as usual, I didn't feel like writing haha. But I'm back :).

It's another Saturday evening/night spent home. Yes, I'm gonna have lots more of these days. I've decided to spent my time (and money) more wisely now my finals are coming up. It's gonna be a huge challenge, that's for sure. Cus I have 10 exams to do, of which 6 in a row. Can you believe that.!! From Monday to Saturday.!! OK, maybe it will be reduced to 5, cus the last one might be postponed. But still, normally I got 6 in 3 weeks, but this time it's gonna be like BOOM, 10 in 3 weeks O_O. That's why I've started studying this week. I got a month to prepare myself, and I'm going for it. Since I'm in college I haven't been very serious with schoolwork. I used to get good grades. In fact, I was somewhere at the top, an honor student.!! Oh how I miss those times... So now is the time to get back up. I want to prove to myself that the little miss smartypants is still alive somewhere deep inside.

Another reason to stay in these days is that our economy has been very stormy these past few days. Everyone's kinda scared about what's gonna happen the next day, cus we're not sure about how much your money will be worth tomorrow. I'm just praying that God will be with us (I know He always is, I'm just reminding Him hihi).

So the last time I had been out was exactly 2 weeks ago. Actually it were Bro and his friends who planned it, but later on they called me to join them (I joined them a couple of times before, haven't really been hanging with my own friends). I knew we would go dancing, so I wore my flip flops, but when the guys came to pick me up they said the other girl was wearing heels, so I had to wear heels too, otherwise one of us would be feeling lonely... Well... I regretted it shortly after.!! My feet started hurting and it felt like my legs were bending out.!! Luckily I had some flip-flops in the car, and even if they looked far from GLAM, I didn't mind, cus comfort comes first. We went to some club, danced till 5 (we only stayed 1 1/2 hour), went home... Now the challenge started: We had to be in church at 9.30... and if we went to sleep, we definetely wouldn't wake up on time. So we decided to keep eachother awake. Bro just went to bed, he knew I would be waking him up, but the others and I were online, keeping track of eachother. When I arrived home I went straight to the shower, washed my hair (cus clubs make your hair smell like nasty smoke), did my chores and waited on the time behind my lappie. That Sunday we were all on time(something that never really happened) and I finally got some sleep after church

Hello.!!

I'm sitting on my bed and right here is where I've spent most of my time today. It's 5PM already and I still haven't showered. I know, grosss... LOL. But if it makes things less worse I did go brush my teeth *_*. I woke up this morning around 9 to check if my download was ready (it was) and I put another torrent to be downloaded. Then I went back to sleep till 12.30. Since a few days I've become somewhat obsessed with this "new" (to me it was) tv serie Pretty Little Liars. Someone I follow, macbarbie07, tweeted about it the other day, and it got my attention. With little I knew about the series I asked my friend J to download it for me, since his download speed is 4x greater than mine. But I got a little too excited, so the same day I asked him I downloaded the 1st episode myself. I watched it and I didn't expect to see some familiar faces. E.g. Piper from Charmed, Carson from one of the Bring It On's,  and the little sister from Privileged (forgot her name, she plays Aria in PLL). As you can tell from the name, it would be about lies, but more importantly it's about the secrets the pretty little's are keeping from others AND eachother. The lies are just made up to protect the juicy secrets. The 1st episode starts with a sleepover of the 5, where one of them, Alison, went missing. Then the story jumps to a year later, present time. The red line is the investigation of the disappearance, and finding out who the mysterious -A is. -A has been haunting the 4, and knows things only Alison would've known. It's pretty interesting and it's a good substitute for both 90210 and Gossip Girl. Guess I have 3 faves right now. I used to watch One Tree Hill too, but I got lost somewhere, and it's just too much to download right now. I'll catch up on that some other time. So today I've watched the last two episodes of PLL that were out. I cannot wait for Monday, when episode 12 will be out. And after that it's waiting on the 24th, new 90210. Yay I love those series.!!
Another thing I've been addicted to, was Brain Buddies on facebook. I started playing it right before I would go to bed, around 00.30 and six hours later my friend D had to send me to bed, otherwise I'd still be playing. This game tests your brain (BRAIN buddies LOL) on different areas: memory, logic, calculation and visuality Each of your friends who are playing it are being ranked and the fun part is that you compete with the person above you. After playing for 2hours I finally got to 2500 sth points. I suggest my friend to play it and in his 1st game he scores over 2500.!! Unbelievable how stupid I felt. I went on with it for a couple of hours more, and still I didn't get over 3000. The highscore among my friends is over 4000, and the friend I was talking about got 3rd place that same night (or uuh... it was morning already). Around 7.30 my friend sent me to bed. Yes, he had to send me, cus I still felt like I had so much energy and I would go on until I had beaten some more people. But I listened to him, cus ideas of the chinese guy who died while gaming continuously were circling round mah head. I waited till my mom went to work, took a shower and then forced myself to sleep. I woke up a few hours later (around 12??) and I didn't feel tired at all. It got me thinking, maybe it was because that game really improves your brains. It's a fun game, and hey, if it's developing my brain even more, what else do I want.!!
I noticed that I've been writing for an hour now. Really had no idea it took this long for me to type down a simple post haha. Anyways, I have bored you enough with my crap, I'm out.

Dear you,

I know I haven't uploaded a new post since 2010 (ok, it was only 6 days), but I'm back.!! These past few days I just didn't have the time and energy to blog, but today I'm telling you all about it, so no need to worry.
What you gotta know is that here in Suriname New Year's Eve is the biggest celebration of the year. Lots of festivities are being held in honor of this day, but the ultimate hotspot is still the "pagara-estafette" in downtown Par'bo. So that's where I went to that late morning. My dad dropped my cousin, my brother, one of his friends and me off on the edge of the city, because there was just no getting through. It was very crowded.!! People from all over the country came I guess. Besides the pagaras, there was music everywhere. If it wasn't from one of the stages, it came outta a fully loaded car parked alongside the road. And as usual SSW on the big truck. Poor girls, they were burning in the sun from dancing on the roof of that truck, but they seemed to have lotsa fun. Oeh.!! I took a picture with the 2 leading actors of the latest Suriname production called SURINAME. I know how it feels to be recognized for your work, so I didn't hesitate asking them for a piccie.

Jerry M, Rodney C, Me, and the "very important" man xD

We went home round 3... where I tried taking a nap, but I just couldn't get myself to it. Around 5 I took a shower and got ready for church, our owru jari service. Although I felt weary, we went to 't Vat after that. It felt a little different from all the other years. Didn't really enjoy myself. We went home around 10, took a shower right away and got ready to go to bed. Luckily I was still up at 00.00. Happy New Yearrrr.!! A friend of my bro stopped by to give us his wishes, and shortly after my friend (and her bf) also came. We talked for a while... After they left, I finally went to bed. Here at home we don't really celebrate these things, but I know for sure that I will when I have my own family.

Dunno what's up with me today, but I don't really feel like writing. So I'm leaving you with these photos from my pagara journey.

(This was written yesterday, I was trying to upload more pics, but they failed, I'm sorry, so today I'm posting this blog)

Scared

Again at my desk. Not at my best right now. I know that I said that I would give everyone another chance in 2011 right... The more this new year is getting closer, the more I'm getting afraid. Afraid of how things will work out... but even more of how I will approach people. I want to send everyone whom I have ever hurt, or who has hurt me, a letter saying I forgive them (or at least am working on it, for it is a proces) and that I would really appreciate it if they'd forgive me too, because I truly am sorry. For certain people this won't be that hard, but then again you have the ones that almost make you sick when seeing them. Will I be able to pour out my true emotions without even knowing how one will respond??

"...for only He strengthens me."

Money, don't go.!!

It was 8.30 when mom entered my room to wake me up. I really hate to be woken up in the morning (especially when I don't have to go to school). Very annoyed I opened my eyes to hear her asking me to help her search for a birthday present (my neighbor will be turning 65 tomorrow). Ugh... taking a shower was the last thing on my mind that moment, so I closed my eyes and went back to sleep, or at least I was trying to. After about half an hour of forcing my eyes to stay shut, I finally decided to get outta bed. It would be rude not to go, because then she'd be shopping on her own and that can be pretty boring. But also this would be an opportunity to have some mother-daughter time.

There was so much traffic. Everyone's doing some last moment shopping for the festivities around New Year's Eve and New Year itself. I was hoping to find me some cute tops, cus my wardrobe is almost empty... and the stuff that I do have, needs to be downgraded to homewear. I didn't have many options, for I refused to go in shops that were too crowded. In a small shop on Spanhoek I found a grey strapless top, it's cute, I love it, but the price was quite a downer. Normally I get these kinda thingies for half the price, but I couldn't complain, since I didn't wanna go into the other stores. The owner gave me a small discount, so that made it easier. Don't you just like getting discounts? Even if it doesn't make that much of a difference, when good comes after bad it somehow makes you happy. Other than my top I bought some Avon lipglosses. I tried these at home and I'm not very pleased. Next time imma stick to my Milani's. I also bought a perfume, Versace pour femme. My brother has the Versace pour homme, and I love that smell. So I thought that if the men version is good, the female version should be too right. And I was right haha.!! So this one is joining my Babyphat Fabulosity and Make me Wonder. Next on the list is the Miss Dior Cherie. I still need to save a lot of dough, cus this one is quite expensive and I'm only collecting the 100ml bottles. But the smell is totally worth it. Kinda like the Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, but a little more trendy. Oh yeah, I got some hairproducts too, cus with all this heat I'm using on my hair, my strands are crying for some decent protectors.

And that's all I bought. Now my wallet is empty, so no partying for me. I might go check out the public places, but I need to go a little slower on spending money. In 2011 I want to save 1/3 of my allowance, because I seriously need to start saving again like old times.

Now I'm tired, I need to rest.
