Independence Spirit

Happy Independence Day..

Its a day I would most likely remember my whole life.. specially last year’s independence day.. I was a participant of the independence day dance, along with loads of friends.. It was my first independence day dance, also the last.. And I was at the dance, when someone stole my bag.. my wallet, camera, and phone.. and of course, the result pin too. xP

But then, I had fun!! And the independence Spirit.. xD

Not the best way to remember, eh..

Anyways, Happy Independence Day..

17 Movie Mayhem: Hannah Montana Movie

I hope you guys do remember my 17 things list.. I have yet done only one thing in the list.. That is meeting with the bloggers, Thanks to Shweet.. I’ll write about that in another post, hopefully!

Well, I have been watching loads of movies and so I thought of writing reviews about them.. Click Here for my Movie list at Listal…

I have always been a big fan of Hannah Montana, and has been watching the series like, forever.. So, when the movie came out, I was waiting to see it.. It reached Maldives only this month, as far as I know.. (Duh!)

So the story follows Hannah into her home Tennessee, and She is faced with her Miley life, and has to make choices, and choose one.. And it has so many cute songs, like the hoe down throw down (you should try that dance!), The Climb, etc.. The outfits were super cute, and so was Travis.. I think I now has a celeb crush on Lucas Till.. haha..

Anyways, I’ll recommend this movie to all of u, it’s a feel good movie, cute dances, cute kids, and ofcourse, did I mention it was Disney?

Ciao

Half the year post!

It’s July, half the year.. and I feel its going so soon.. I still remember the first day I went to CHSE, two years back.. it still seems like yesterday! About the phone, thanks all of u guys, I decided to use nokia one.. Made a deal with dad, that I’ll get a job, so that he can buy me a sidekick =D

Oh, And I have decided that I’ll join college next year, probably July.. Business Management, specially Marketing would be my field, and I’ll work my way towards opening up my very own fashion line, I've already thought of a name, etc.. I know, it’s too early to make huge plans, but I believe that If I want to achieve big, I need to dream big! It sounds so good to say, eh?

Oh, and I have another blog, dedicated to the half of me, which had always had an interest in fashion designing!  

Nuff of that, I remember promising to show some photos of Mickie, which I forgot to upload, so here goes.. She is no longer a baby, but a cute little toddler, and she even has two cute rabbit teeth, we call it Sparkles, a tribute to our good old rabbit!

PS, Dad’s family calls her Mikko, Others Mikoo, and Muntha calls her MickiPoo.. haha..

BTW, Happy Half year! =]

Examified

Its exam time.. After 17 years of studying, I’m up for one of the biggest challenges in my life.. My future depends on this..

Yet, my grade point average is probably that of an average child.. which means there’s 0.001 probability of me getting into my dream university, Princeton.. I’ve always being in love with Princeton.. Its a great university, sounds like a dream, and its in Ivy league..And the name’s just too perfect..

Which brings me to look into why people tend not to be studious.. I’ve found out 3 reasons for this..

1. Screen Time

This is probably something every person of this century has faced.. It’s the time you spend in front of a screen, let it be a TV, computer, phone, or even those billboards on the streets.. We kind of get addicted to it. Researches have shown that a normal teen spends 8 hours near screens.. That’s 4 years.. think about all those great things we could have done in 49 years.. sheesh..

2. The Nerd Syndrome

Now, If you become involved in your studies, and become studious, you become labeled as a nerd.. and studious is considered as not so cool.. ah, this unfair world full of stereotypes.. But believe me, there are many great people who were once considered as nerds.. If you are scared of labels, you probably can’t live in this world.. cos, its in our circle of no control.. I haven’t really faced labeling much.. I guess it isn't very famous in Maldives.. naming you nerds, airheads, jocks, etc, etc.. Maldivians are a bit on the normal side. Thank god.

3. Pressure

Now, If we bring home a good report, our parents, friends, teachers, and cats, and parrots, and even the ants in our backyard expect us to do the same again, and again.. They feel that we have set up this standard of perfection that we’ll always achieve..And if we bring home a bad report always, there are less expectations,and no pressure which is much easier.. But, hey if you don’t wanna pay the price of education, try ignorance..

Well, that pretty much sums it all..

PS I was motivated enough.. All thanks to Sean Covey..

PPS This is a summary of a chapter from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective teens..

PPS3 If you are a teen, and you haven’t read it yet, you better do it now..

Wedding Dashes, Seventeen, and So Much More

image credits

Hey Blogger Friends.. Today's been a really refreshing day, which probably explains my out with the old and in with the new theme.. Yes! Finally I've got enough motivation to do so. Why? Cos I read this month's Seventeen. It gives me inspiration and motivation, Thank you Ann Shoket.

Seventeen has always been my absolute favourite magazine, might be because Im seventeen, but anyways. This month it featured Taylor Swift, whose songs never fail to impress me. And her story was really eye opening.It made me realize that fairy tales happens, but its not all about happily ever after. It's about being happy for now. cos forever's a much bigger word. She turned out to be more like me, as im a believer in fairy tales, and love.

I guess what matters in life isnt what we really think it is, and who hurts you the most are people who are the closest to your heart. Sometimes, you just need to give your heart some free time, and follow your brain.

Everyone's so interested in the elections and stuff, not to mention the exams. It almost feels we are not what we were before. Now we are awake, much more exposed to the happenings around us.

And one more thing which always turns out to be true is my seventeen horoscope, which highlighted about a party this month, and my cousin's married, so he's throwing a wedding bash. and im supposed to be a bridesmaid, not really.One thing i hate most is that people want to have weddings, big ones. but they dont do it the "big way", like bridesmaids, bouquet throwing, ring bearers, guest book, sand ceremony, etc. Im planning doing all of them when in my wedding, which is not really gonna happen in a near future, i assure you. =P

I guess all my posts are really long, which must bore you to death, hehe..

The ottaru huri Post

image credits

So, here i am with my imposingly ottaru huri post.. This is something I came across in GL ( a megazine for teen girls) and it is kind of true.. Yes, I came across this universal truth in the 17 years that I've lived in this world that "Boys make better friends than Girls"...

So here goes..

Having a boy buddy rocks! You can borrow his PSP, unleash a monster burp and get skateboarding lessons. And that’s on any random Saturday.

When did girls figure out guys have great friend potential? There always have been, and always will be, girls who know the value of friendships with boys. These girls aren’t tomboys or girl-hatin’ or pulling that “friends with benefits” thing, secretly making out in clandestine locations around campus. They are girls just like you who simply don’t see boys as romance-only options. Guys are made for hangin’ out. And much like the different kinds of girl friends you have, your future boy buds are all special in their own ways. A guy can even be your BFF! That’s why GL has rounded up the seven best boy buddies a girl could ever have. Yes, seven! Who knew?

The Tour Guide

Who He Is

This guy is your personal concierge into the Minds of Men. Why are guys so into video games—is World of Warcraft really that amazing? How come the cute guy in Spanish doesn’t care if he has a gross crusty in the corner of his mouth? Does your crush realize that, even though he likes you back, waiting until the next millenium to call you just isn’t cool? This bud makes all these boy mysteries (and so much more) oh-so crystal clear.

Why He Rocks

You’ve always wanted an all-access pass to the inner sanctum of Teen Man, right? Finally, you scored a fly on the locker-room wall. He’ll give you deft advice on what to text your crush. He’ll tell you that your hot-pink lip gloss and electric-blue mascara weird guys out because you really look like a Bratz doll. You need to know the boy POV, and this buddy gives good view.

The Wireless Wizard

Who He Is

He’s a gizmo guy! He’s got two iPods—one for his vids and pics, and the Nano for everything else. His home computer has all the bells and whistles, complete with a mini-cam so he can upload his directorial debut on YouTube while he tools around on all of your crew’s Facebook pages. Chances are this boy buddy also has a complete collection of every video game known to boykind, and a tricked-out cell phone that has different ringtones for everyone who might call him. He’s thoroughly down with digital.

Why He Rocks

Want to double the songs on your iTunes? To him, that’s what friends are for. So toss him your MP3 player for the weekend, and he’ll have you set up by Monday morning. Is your e-mail address old-school (hello, AOL?) or your Facebook boring and blah? Let techie take the wheel, install a couple programs, upload some images—and ding-ding! You’re high-tech.

The Girl Replacement

Who He Is

He’s as much fun as your BFF, except better since what he lacks is mindless drama. Because guess what—he honestly doesn’t give a hoot what you look like since he’s not looking. Call the fashion police because you wore an apricot tee with plum capris? Oh, puh-lease! He serves up a mini-break from the sticky side of girlness. He’ll hang out, order chili on your shared French fries, maybe even go sneaker shopping. He’s a blast, and he just happens to be a boy.

Why He Rocks

Let your hair down, literally, around this boy, and slap on a baseball cap. Haven’t you always wanted to watch TiVo’d reality TV and pig out on delivery pizza without talking about your thighs? He might tease you about your padded bra, new short ’do or sparkle sandals, but so what? He’s just being chill. He’s your boy/girl friend! It’s his job to give you a good what’s-what now and again. High-five!

The Secret BF

Who He Is

He’s cute, that’s for sure. He makes you laugh. He has gorgeous eyes. You like his hair. He likes to hang out with you a lot, and you two always do fun stuff together, like go to Taco Bell at midnight in your pajamas. He tells you how much he likes your hair pulled back into a ponytail, and for some reason you know which jeans he likes best on you. He can’t stand your crush, and tells you all the time the guy’s not even a little bit deserving of you. He’s a great friend, and isn’t afraid to put an arm around you or give you a hug goodbye.

Why He Rocks

He’s already the friend in boyfriend, and he likes you. He probably hasn’t said anything because you are such great pals. He values your friendship enough to not rock that boat for now. But it’s getting more clear every day that he’d go there if you gave him a signal. So do you? Honesty and warmth are your best bets with this one. Avoid dropping a vague hint or being clever. Ask him straight-up if he thinks about kissing you. Or tell him you sometimes think about kissing him. Then…see what happens.

The Back-Up Date

Who He Is

He’s a good sport about girly stuff, even if he requires an iTunes gift-card payment for his well-dressed (read: itchy-suit) services. There’s a dance on the horizon—and it should be fun because everyone’s going—but he doesn’t like anyone and you don’t like anyone, so why shouldn’t you go together? Exactly. This boy is all too happy to be your stand-in date. He shows up with a corsage and smiles like the sweetie he is while your parents snap too many photos.

Why He Rocks

He’ll offer you his arm when your crush doesn’t so much as acknowledge your existence. Oof, the romance quandary. So why not just go to movies, sporting events and school plays with your boy buddy? Here he is! Dateless and fun and ready to rescue you from date-night delirium. No “will he kiss me?” thoughts to cloud the evening, and no sweaty-palmed hand-holding. And he makes a much better choice than your cousin from Snoreville.

The Personal Trainer

Who He Is

He loves, loves, loves the active stuff: skateboarding, biking, snowboarding, surfing and anything involving a bungee cord. He loves sports and organizes games with the guys, like b-ball at the park on Saturday. He might even do the traditional workout thing, and he’s on a team or two at school. He’s cool because he’s healthy and fun-lovin’.

Why He Rocks

Hanging out online is fine and good, but this guy will get your hooptie up off that couch! If your definition of cardio is mall-crawling with friends, it’s time to work it boy-style. Staying inside and watching a movie? Never! He keeps it movin’, and by “it” we mean you. Have a helmet?

The Coffee Mate

Who He Is

He’s your therapist, confidante and all-ears friend. He listens, then gives excellent boy-inspired advice. And it’s not all deep feelings and probs. He laughs with you at dumb stuff no one else thinks is funny. You two always have something to talk about. All chit-chat and chai lattes.

Why He Rocks

This boy covers for you on anything, from your outrageous coffee-shop tab to parent freak-outs because you dyed a strip of hair deep purple. He’s down with your feelings, and helps you keep it real. He’s the perfect accompaniment to every cup of joe. Best of all, he gets you.

I just noticed that i don't have too close boy buiides, only few.. and lets see, I can only think of a coffee mate.. Duh.. Boring Me! Anyways, tell me all about what you think..
