Letters to Electra - How Much of a Book Addict Are You?

16/4/13

Dear Electra,

I took this quiz on Buzzfeed called how much of a book addict are you? And surprisingly I received a high score of 57 out of 77. Hmmm, must be the reading programme and books scattered around my room that did all the work for me.

WOO! It's getting close to Lodo's birthday! I'm excited even though I'm just gonna stay at home and listen to her songs constantly. I made a collage to celebrate!

My Horrible and Useless Habits - ♡ Natalie's Nook ♡ (21)

11/04/14

This post has negative content about flaws, imperfections and faults. Read with caution.

There are a lot of things that are bad about me and I'd like to vent out about it. I'm not writing this to show off or to ask for anything. This topic was interesting to explore on this blog.

Shyness
First flaw I would like to cover up is my shyness. My shyness has occupied the space of my confidence to socialise, ask important questions and grab opportunities with my bare hands. Being shy is like being stuck in a room surrounded by concrete walls and a metallic roof covering the world full of opportunities and happiness.

The Centre Stage
Next barrier I want to break is taking over the important lives of important people. Many of my friendships have ended because of this particular flaw. When I think about friendship I always forget the part about personal space. I have a moment based upon this topic which happened based upon this topic and I'd like to share my story. My best friend and I were in the same class again for another year, but she had other friends in the same class. As the year went on my best friend started to hang out with these friends and I was desperate to hang out with her alone again, so I tried grabbing her from her friends as much as I could. She absolutely hated this. She was getting annoyed and so she shut me out. My best friend said that we could still be friends but not best friends, and to me that meant I wasn't permitted to speak to her ever again.

Anger
As a religious person I know wrath is one of the seven deadly sins and I am not permitted to break that promise and as a normal human being I make mistakes along the way. I cannot control my anger. Without myself knowing the pillows on the living room couch have suddenly teleported to the dining room table and on the bathroom floor. After you witness this activity you could hear painful screams and cries from my bedroom.

Letters to Electra - Creativity Has Its Limits

9/4/14

Dear Electra,

As I said at the title of this letter, creativity has limits. Nobody knows that yet. For example, my creativity comes in a written form. I want to write as much as I can, but there's school to balance. Usually I try to fit in blogging times when I finish getting ready for school while I have a few minutes to spare or after I finish my homework.

Usual weekend night: Blogging, in my PJs, and my
depressed unicorn photobombing.

Dear New York, I need to visit you again!

I am here at school sitting down on the field for a 'charity for water' event. We're going to walk for thirty minutes and jump on the bouncy castle for thirty minutes. I'm in the group that start off with the bouncy castle. But unfortunately, I have the very feminine process that occurs once every month, so I'm writing on the grass next to my form teacher.



Hello again, Electra. We have just finished the walking part and I am puffed! I was running part of the time and while I was sprinting with a bottle of water in my left hand and a wet lunchbox on the opposite hand I had been 'cheered' on by some blonde girls from my class. I felt embarrassed but still continued to run. I am Marian, I can never be stopped! (Only if I do what's right .)

My Past Aspirations and Goals - ♡ Natalie's Nook ♡ (20)

04/04/14

I'm going to write about my past aspirations and goals and tell you if I've achieved them or not.

Last year I had only started being more on to it with my future. The were my goals and aspirations:

1) Become an author while looking after my two future children, a little girl named Mardovica and an older brother with an unsure name
I still have this aspiration, but with another career path as a cognitive psychologist. I've also decided to possibly name my daughter Mercina. It's actually a best friend ship name between the two leading female stars of Violetta, Martina Stoessel and Mercedes Lambre. Mardovica is also a ship name between Martina and... guess who? No surprise, Lodovica Comello! (If you've read my older blog posts, you'll understand why there's no surprise).

2) Compose my second song
It's so hard to compose songs nowadays. Clichés are the main trend for this generation. I've never gotten about writing my second song. I'm too busy to write songs and have no idea what to base them upon. However, I've tried. It was titled 'Trendz' and was meant to be about how these unhealthy styles affect our generation. I slacked off and failed. Who was going to give me a grade anyway?

3)  Make my blogs famous (locally, or maybe even internationally)
When it comes to promoting I am rubbish. My popularity wasn't at a high level (who cares?) and I'm never willing to get out of my comfort zone. I am not confident to boss people around pushing links into their newsfeeds. Maybe I can try again...

4) Actually complete my 'to do list' for the future
I can't say anything about this yet as I haven't completed most of the things on the list, like finish high school and university with flying colours and have a life which consists of usual ups and downs. I will continue to work and study hard until I get what I desire for my family and myself.

Letters to Electra - Busy Bee Moments

2/4/14

Dear Electra,

Today has been outrageously busy! I had two meetings for two co-curricular activities, the first being J-Rock and a meeting for the Filipino students.

When I found out that you had the pay for J-Rock, I was very surprised. How would I be able to pay $40 for it? I've already got my singing lessons and my academic fees to pay. I've gotta save up and approach my parents with sincere movements.

I had my parent-teacher interview with all of my teachers except for my religious ed/form teacher. They all, surprisingly, gave me awesome feedback. Mathematics was a little bit of a hiccup, but I'll manage.

As if I haven't mentioned Lodovica enough.
Alba and Lodovica have such a powerful friendship. I crave it in my life.

Martina and Ruggero.
Ruggero looks like he is punching himself.
