Hey, hey, hey!
Ever since I changed the date for TFWJM to every second Friday, I have gotten more productive. Now I can plan and sort out my sequence for TFWJM, Electra and Marian and MEDL. Here goes a new post!
Whenever I hear the question, 'What is your plan for the future, Marian?' I always cringe. I'm not sure why! I already have a plan for the future, but I think that it's not well thought out and organised as others who dream of becoming an engineer or chef.
But here goes my plan:
Ever since last year I've been wanting to graduate my current high school (I'm in middle school and the high school is conjoined with us) and then go to university and become an English major. I will take several courses like writing studies, mathematics, and Of course, I would like to be in a university based in New Zealand because I want to stay close to my friends and family.
And after I graduate my university, I'll get my first real jobs as a professional blogger and a pastry chef at a well-known restaurant.
Later on, I will become a normal adult, get married, have kids, and continue to get more opportunities in life, as long as I try to make an effort everyday.
Bye bye for now!

TFWJM Date Change
Hello everyone! ~
I have noticed that whenever I start to write TFWJM it's always a Thursday and TFWJM was taking lots of my time and times is very precious to me as a student. To make my timetable flexible I have decided to post TFWJM on even weeks (every week B). I hope all of you can understand. I am human and I can get really busy.
Thanks,
Marian

To Fridays. With Joy, Marian: 25 Facts About Me!
Hello everybody!
For this week's TFWJM, it is a list of 25 facts about me. Can we just get started?
1) My idol is Marina and the Diamonds
2) My worst weakness is my ability in maths. I hate it also. It seriously gives me the shivers. Eek!
3) But my best strength is my ability to do anything that involves English (that's why I chose to become an amateur blogger).
4) I have never owned a phone that included a camera and access tp internet. The phone I have now is a flip phone. It's kind of cool anyway. And nobody would like a flip phone nowadays.
5) It's impossible for me to write straight if there are no lines on a piece of paper or journal. I plan to write straight then it ends up in a curly, whirly wave. I also have tiny handwriting.
6) I've got the whole collection of Nivea lip balms. There's Milk and Honey, Essentials Care, Pink Guava, Hydro Care, and Repair and Protection.
7) My astrological sign is Virgo. I'm perfectionistic, critical, detail-orientated, try to avoid arguments and judgemental (not to offend fellow Virgos out there).
8) I have a collection of four turtles. Their names are Maria, Pete, Natalie, and Paul (not sure why I named them ordinary names. I named them last year and I couldn't think of anything).
9) I'm obsessed with The Baby-Sitter's Club. I've watched the movie several times, watched lots of episodes, and also read over fifteen books.
10) I've been to America, New Zealand (where I'm living in now), the Philippines (where my ancestors came from), Japan and Malaysia (where I travelled in transit).
11) I'm a multi-lingual.
12) I know how to play Hockey, Badminton, Track and Field, and Netball, but I've never joined in sports teams or relay races (except for my school cross-country and athletics)
13) I'm in the middle of writing four novels now, but they're all top secret. All I can say is that all of them are based upon my life.
14) I hate make-up and tattoos, yet I always watch beauty videos and draw on my hand so it always looks like a tattoo.
15) I've owned a diary for three years in a row (including this year).
16) I own three blogs which are Marian's Everyday Life, Electra and Marian, and Marian the Anime and Vocaloid Lover (which is the inactive one).
17) I hate pink, yet I have a tonne of clothes that are pink.
18) Last year I attempted to become a vegetarian, but everyone tempted me to eat meat and I transferred to being an omnivore again.
19) I love fashion. From thin scarves, to frilly lilac dresses, to ricotta cardigans.
20) Every month I watch too many Youtube videos that my mum keeps on warning me that our gigabytes were gonna run out.
21) I have been hanging out with all he cliques in my class but the Jocks which only consists of four boys and only one (or two, I'm not so sure) girl.
22) I hate art, but I love to paint.
23) Ever since I was a little baby, my father and I would film these Daddy and Daughter shows every so often. But when my younger sister came, it transformed into the Daddy and Daughters show. I felt irritated and it took me a while to get used to it.
24) I still like Barbie movies, but I hate Barbie dolls. They freak me out like heck.
25) And for the final fact, my mother decided to pierce my ears at the very young age of three months. And in the same year I was also forced to shave off all of my hair because I had eczema.
So that was it. I hope you have learnt lots about me and have a fabulous weekened!
5) It's impossible for me to write straight if there are no lines on a piece of paper or journal. I plan to write straight then it ends up in a curly, whirly wave. I also have tiny handwriting.

To Fridays. With Joy, Marian: Favourites for July
For the second update for the TFWJM series, I have decided to do a favourites for July post, since it is the end of July.
They with be split up into 4 categories:
My favourite face wash has been the Garnier Daily Deep Pore Wash. Other than it's rough texture when you rub it on your skin, it leaves a soft feeling to your skin.
And for my favourite moisturiser for the month is the Clean and Clear Daily Essentials Moisturiser.
I do not put on make-up just to note. I hate make-up, yet I watch videos on how to apply it on your face. Weird!
Media time!
I haven't been able to watch much movies this month, but I can say that I just saw X Men: First Class and it has become my favourite movie ever! I love the nostalgic years of how the X Men started. And I can say, young Charles Xavier was cute! X Men: First class is about how young Charles Xavier gathers mutants to form a group of mutants, basically. So if you've watched it, you know how I certainly feel.
My favourite song of the month is Charli XCX's 'What I Like'. It's got such a sick beat at the beginning and then upbeat vocals for the rest of the song. I'm listening to it now and it just motivates me to write this post.
The app that I have been playing non-stop has been Plants vs. Zombies 2 on iPad. It's so hard yet entertaining at the same time! You get to travel back in time to Ancient Egypt to the Pirate Era. The only negative thing about this app is that it helps me to procrastinate a lot and avoid getting fresh air outside.
Literature Favourites:
My favourite book for this month is Ballet Shoes. I haven't finished reading it but it's about three sisters named Pauline, Petrova, and Posy. A man named Matthew (the girls call him GUM) found them separately on boat rides and the three girls eventually become a dancer and actresses. I recommend this novel for those who love ballet and to young teens like me.
And if you're not much of a bookworm, there's a movie to the book. It stars Emma Watson and Richard Griffiths
The word that has been on my mind is Baccalaureate. When I entered the school spelling bee in July, it had been my first word to spell, and luckily I spelled it right! Baccalaureate means a college bachelor's degree.
Random Favourite:
My favourite recipe to bake is Aunty Betty's Strawberry Cream Cake. I only baked it once but it tastes supremely delectable, and I would do anything to get 100 packs for free. I don't know if it would fit in my cupboard though...
That's it! See you guys in Electra and Marian! Enjoy your week!

Postponed!
Good Morning from New Zealand Electra and Marian bloggers!
Where is my 'To Fridays. With Joy, Marian' post? It's because I didn't get to finish it this week because of school. Lots of you may ponder how I balance school and Blogger, and most of you will wonder also about why I'm doing this. To answer the first question, It's because I love to write and Blogger can help my literature skills and my curiosity about becoming an author and journalist to rise.
But, here is the good news. The 'To Fridays, With Joy, Marian' (TFWJM) post will be ready tomorrow. And I can give you a clue on what it is. One word: Favourites. Okay, that was a big clue. Hehe.
See you!
