Day 8

Hmm. I was waiting to do this on September, but then I'd have to go without blogging for onw day. hah! August is well, not what i hoped. But it's fun, and I'm being lazy as most of the time.
So, next month I hope to,

1, Do all assignments and homework's

hmm. So, I got my first assignment this smemester, and I still have a gazillion overdue homeworks. hah!

2. Study prior to exams

Not on the day, or the day before. I usually fall into the on the day category, so I am still surprised that I get good grades. But I fee like I don't deserve them, cos so many people I know study a lot and get lower grades than me. It doesn't sound fair, so I want to not feel guilty, plus it'll give me a sense of self actualization. (very Princess Mia-ish! =P)

3. Try the goals I set in Crafts, Fashion, and Movies/Books.

Check out my other blogs to see the goals. Basically, I categorized my life into 4 parts this year. One, my personal and study life, then the love of my life, Fashion, then comes Movies/Books (mostly the knowledge center/entertainment/misc) and last is my favorite hobby, crafting. =D

4. Try to be more friendly, and get along with people!

I do get aloong with people, and I consider myself a friendly person. But lately, I have this feeling that I'm losing the friendship touch in me, and I guess that's what makes me ME!

5. Don't let others make me feel bad.

Don't care about what others think. I'm not their slave. Do my thing the way I want!

6. And most importantly, be myself!

And not copy people. There is only one me (at least, I hope so) and I'd like to keep it that way!

I wonder if I'll be able to do this all. If their is a will, then there's a way!

Day 7

I am so sorry for the lateness. Thursday, I had back to back classes, and Friday, I went to Himmafushi for a family roadhaveelun. Yesterday I slept, thanks to no sleep the other day, and I had a mini get together. So much happened, huh!

So, Day 7 is about a picture of someone/something that the biggest impact on you.

(sorry about the lack of my parents picture, for their privacy!)

Someone would be my parents. They matter to me a lot, even though they might not agree. I know its hard for them to do their job, cause I make it so hard on them. Raising a teenage cliché’ along with working , raising a toddler and a tween must be so hard. I know deep in my heart that no matter how much I try, I can never pay them back. I still do rebel against some of their rules and parental codes, but they still are the one and only people who has the biggest impact on my actions, and me!

Something that has the biggest impact on me is INTERNET!! Life has changed so much over the years because of Internet. I discovered many great, and no so great things. It has a huge impact on the way I dress, eat, act, and basically the way I live. I am happy for some changes, regret others. Life sure has changed over the time, hasn't it?

What are the things that has the biggest impact on you? Is it the same as mine?

Day 6

I just watched Kick Ass and it was freaking awesome. I however was very disappointed with Red Mist. I thought he’s turn into the good side! Anyhow, Today’s challenge is about my favorite superhero.

When I was a kid, I wasn't into the superhero’s or comic books. I was more into books, and moral stories. I know, it sounds lame, but I’d rather read a book while drinking Milo than watch Superman back then. It hasn't changed much even now. I still haven't watched a single superhero movie or read a comic (except Kick Ass of course).

However, I do have a favorite superhero. No, she’s not Wonder woman or cat women or any other costume wearing person. It’s Hermione, from Harry Potter of course. She’s my favorite superhero, in the fantasy world. She’s smart, intelligent, and can tackle a fight like anything. I love her because she is always true to herself, and she cares about her friends and she isn't discouraged by the evil! Plus she’s a genius!

When I was a kid, my favorite cartoon character was Blossom from Power puff Girls. I’d always wanted to be like her when I grow up (Kidding! But I did want to be strong and true to myself, and fight evil. haha). I think I turned up OK-ish. Sure I cant fight even to save my life, but I am strong, and I would do anything for my family, in case of a danger or not, and I’m still on the good side, or so I believe.

In real life, my favorite superhero is Doe Deere. She’s not a real superhero, and she can’t fly or do magic. But she creates a world full of good things, willed with love, beauty and what makes a person good both inside and out.

Day 5

Recently I visited Himmafushi, a small island near Male’ were my uncle, and his wife along with their kid lives. Also another cousin and her hubby lives there too. So, I have two places to stay and two reasons to go there. Its a peaceful, HOT island, and it has the biggest souvenir shop in Maldives.

Oh, and I’m going there this Friday for rodha veelun! (=

 

me doing my favorite jump pose. =P

And this is from last months class trip to Hulhumale’. It was so much fun. This is just one from the gazillion pictures we took.

Day 4

A habit I wish I didn't have, huh? Actually there are two habits that I regret the most. One is that, I trust people too easily. I almost always believe what people say, and I regret this every time someone hurts me. Its like almost too easy. I wish I was stronger, I am trying to be, and not trusting people too easily. It’s hard. But I intend on trying.

And the next habit is I let people influence me too easily. Like what they wear, how they act, and what they say about me, I let it affect my personality. I am forever trying to not let others define me, but myself. However, I keep failing. Every time someone says something negative, I keep obsessing to change it. I do realize I can never change what people say about me, but I try to be like who they want me to be. I am my own person, but I wish I didn't let others influence me.

Day 3

I have lots of friends, Twitter friends, CHSE friends, Ahmadhiyya friends, Guide friends, and friends from everywhere I go. Oh, I must have forgotten to tell you that one of my hobbies along with card making and laughing all the time, is collecting friends. Here are some pics of me and some of my mega amazing classmates.

Day 2

The meaning behind my blog name, huh. I wrote a post at the beginning to discuss it.

So, I started keeping a diary at an early age, around in my teens. (That is pretty early, considering I’m old enough to be legal now. being old sucks!! Peter pan, help!!) and since then I’ve kinda jotted doesn't everything that comes to my mind (most of the things) and so I’ve been keeping all kinds of books as journal/diaries, and hence the name diarygirl. This blog is like my online diary. I think that kinda explains the name.

Day 1

So, who am I, huh? That’s a pretty recent photo of me! taken only last month in Himmafushi. Sorry about the awkward pose, I just jumped and got down. LOL

15 interesting facts about me.

1. I can bake! Ok, that’s not that interesting, but I can really cook, so I gotta be good at something, hah! So far I’ve only baked a strawberry cake, right out of a Betty Crocker cake mix. LOL

2. I love jumping. I cant stay in the same place for so long, unless I HAVE to.

3. I love red bull, that’s kinda lame. I mean, everyone loves red bull, huh!

4. I am all about routines. I love routines, organizing, making lists, alphabetizing. ORDER rules my life.

5. Sometimes I rebel against my rules. I don't follow rules, I make my own, most of the time. Ok, I do follow rules, I’m such a nerd!

6. When things are going bring, I make up things to make them interesting. Most of the times, it backfires.

7. I’m really good at lying, and acting. haha

8. I can write songs, sing, but I cant play any musical instrument.

9. I love reading. Almost anything.

10. I usually tend to act like I donno what's going on when people speak about vai things.

11. I am forever waiting to fall in love!

12. I am a planner. I plan everyday, every month, and every year. If it was possible, I’d plan every minute and second.

13. I love being on air.

14. In my movie watch sequence, the first is cartoons, then comes Disney movies, Hindi movies, and then comes non- Disney English movies.

15. I love mushrooms. My parents find this disgusting.

So, that was pretty easy. Until tomorrow, Ciao!

First Song

I am the kind of person who makes up songs in my mind all the time. Like today, when I was in the exam, and I found the name Maurice somewhere, I found myself making up a song about a pixie named Maurice who had only one wing. hah. don’t worry, my exam went amazing though. =P

So, last night I finally wrote a song on paper. It was a huge improvement from the mind. haha. Here it is, the first draft. It’s called “Dreaming about our story”.

 

Boy, aren’t you like

all the other guys, in the world.

Judging by your looks

you’re every girls,  Prince Charming,

oh how alarming

that you never accept who you are.

You try to be someone you are not.

But I know, that inside you’re just a simple guy!

 

I’m always dreaming about our story, and how it would end.

Bet you never even think about me, besides a friend.

I’m always dreaming about our story, and how it would end.

Bet you never even think about me, besides a friend.

 

And every time you’re near, I get so nervous

I can almost her my heartbeat faster.

Yet I never realized how much

I’d miss you when you were gone.

Leaving me behind, only with the memories

where you and I smile.

Talking ‘bout the god times and now you’re so far away

I can’t even count the miles.

 

I’m always dreaming about our story, and how it would end.

Bet you never even think about me, besides a friend.

 

I feel like I’ve lost everything

And I’m pretty sure you won’t even realize.

That I felt something for you.

You just keep dating the wrong girls,

getting your heart broken all the time.

When are you ever gonna realize,

that the girl of your dreams could be me.

 

I’m always dreaming about our story, and how it would end.

Bet you never even think about me, besides a friend.

 

Don’t you see the sparks that fly?

Don’t you see it like the clear blue sky?

Don’t you ever see my eyes, filled with hope.

Don’t you?

 

I’m always dreaming about our story, and how it would end.

Bet you never even think about me, besides a friend.

 

ok, So I know that this song needs LOADS of more work. Any criticism is more than welcome.

PS, I’m not going lovey dovey. OK, maybe a little. But this blog is still gonna be non-vai, I’ll come up with something more interesting soon.

Everything Is Not What It Seems

image credits

How many times were you mislead by a bewitching smile, but found a player instead.The things in life, that we sometimes take for granted are not really what it is. Some people come into our lives disguised as friends and turn out to betray our trust. We, of all people trust those who will break our heart into tiny little pieces.

No matter how much we love someone, we really cant make that person love us back. And no matter how we wish to be HIS, it’s impossible I guess. We try to be his friend, and smile, and yet he keeps falling for the wrong girl. He never realizes that he belongs right here. Why can’t he see?

OK, so currently I am obsessed with this guy, and my current story can be summed up in Taylor Swift’s “You belong with me”. There was once a chapter in my life where two songs summed up. My feelings through David Archie’s “crush” and the story of Austin through Taylor Swift’s “teardrops on my guitar”.

I guess, his chapter is over, and it’s a new chapter. This one is Falling for the guy you really cant be with. Or maybe you can, if he ever lets you! Life is unfair.

Weekend Reads

Happy Ramadan. Today, I made Pizza Toasts. It’s actually the first time I made something all by myself. I know, I know. My mom never allows me into kitchen, so blame it one her. I can however make food, if you count junk food.

Anyhow, this week I didn't update any of my blogs, so you won’t get to read anything by me. Sad, right? Don’t worry, I have however handpicked some of the best articles I found this week, and hope you like it.

One of my fav hijab bloggers Shea is on Top 15 for a competition. Check her out, and give her a vote.

Also check out Talisha’s beach photos. I love love how it turned out. She’s super amazing.

Jen of cake wrecks always has a joke up her sleeve. This one is super funny!

Do you love cats? Then, you’ll love Katie’s pics of cats in hats!

I am drooling over all those yummy cakes and cupcakes at Bakerella, every one’s favorite baking blog.

And last, but not least, my idol and role model Doe is celebrating 2 years of her awesome blog.

Happy weekend!!

Ramadan Mubarik

Officially begins the month of fasting. Oh, and I have classes at unnatural hours, and my show, which is actually very exciting. It’s more fun than last year. I still miss Kellie and our show, but things are going pretty well.

Exams are only three days away, and I haven't even touched the books yet.

So, just a quick post to wish you happy fasting!

Back to Work

College has been pretty fun the last few days. Yesterday I spent 8 hours in college. I know. It was a Saturday. haha. We blew bubbles, went to eat, had a photo shoot, and sang songs.

Oh, and I am going back to HFM. The same place. I love the place, and I love being back in the employment. However I have to tackle work and classes, and Ramadan, so this is going to be a challenge. I love challenges, so this is gonna be exciting too.

On the other hand, exams are on the way, and I need to study. LIKE,  RIGHT NOW!!

PS, I started watching Heroes, and I’m totally addicted. My favorite person is Hiro. I however think the girl who can change selves has the most useful power.

It’s Friday again. I woke up pretty early today. Eleven is early for me! tsk tsk

I was also invited to a class maahefun which I bunked cos I had to clean my room. I am such a clean freak. gosh!

Check out what I wore the other day to class. I know, I wear un-casual things all the time.

Also from me, a denim dress look, cos who’d I be if I didn't tell you what to wear!

I am a huge fan of Katie and her colorful life. I would love to make stuff like her!

Another of my guilty pleasure blogs is Jing’s.  Rebecca Bloomwood is NOTHING compared to her.

Talking about bloggers, check out Jezmine and her most beautiful shop ever.

If that’s not enough, go check THIS amazing blog!

The Bended Truth

image credits

How the simple things in life are so much different from how they actually are. How people doesn't always tell the whole story, but only the part they want others to hear.

Sometimes we play tricks with ourselves, maybe for a reason. Maybe not.

I for one, have always been telling myself that I hate roses. I don't actually hate them, neither like them that much. They don’t look any special to me. I still don’t understand why people go overboard with them. The only thing I know is that what makes me, me, one very little thing is the fact that I try to believe that I hate roses. Mind over matter, and it actually worked. I don’t really know why I did that, but then again, most of the time, I don’t really know why I do what I do. I like the mystery and the unknown questions that lurk around.

But when others do things, the way they do, I like observing and asking them questions. Unraveling the mystery. I always like to think that the truth is far more interesting than it actually is. My life lacks drama, and this must be why I want to stir up everything.

This may or may not have anything to do with the title or the picture.

Minimalist Living

image credits

I am not a minimalist. I always loved clutter and owing more stuff. But the last few months I’ve been considering getting rid of a lot of things, and finally today I did get rid of a lot of things that I haven't used under 6 months or more. I kept my most favorite things, and it still looks very cluttered, but I actually feel much better.

But no matter how much minimalist I go, I can never have enough shoes, or dresses or make up, or maybe even stories or movies. You see, this is actually the reason I can probably never fully go minimalist. The idea is very promising and inspiring, but I don’t think it goes well with my interests, beliefs and values.

Everything that I do, is mostly based on what I believe. For instance, I believe that writing down my emotions make me feel better, which is why I started keeping a journal. I also found out that candles give me inspiration, and the free burning flame makes me feel happy, and so I finally overcame my fear of fire, and started lighting candles.

These are just a few things. The last two years, since I turned sixteen, I’ve started seeing the world clearly. It was like wearing new glasses. Everything seemed clearer and I finally knew that I had so much more to do, and to achieve.

Almost August

I can’t exactly say it, since it’s already August. Last month was pretty hectic, fun and most of all, exciting. I discovered new thing, made new friends and went on a few trips. xD

This month, I hope to

1, Do all home works

I have 25 home works excluding my 4 assignments to finish and 4 exams to learn. tsk tsk. Need to get my act together or I might fail myself!

2. Study according tot he schedule

Something I always want to do, but never really do. gosh, I’m turning into a bad student!!

3. Do more chores at home

Even my classmates now think I am the laziest one, and this is one title I myself can associate with me, but don;t want others to!

4. Be more friendly

Some people still think I am not friendly, so I decided to be more friendly, talk non stop and party around. not really!

5. Don’t be lazy!

*refer to 3rd goal!*

6. Try to build friendships

As part of the fact that today is Friendship day! xD

Lets see if I can do this all!
