MMMMMMM. holidays, i think I'm in love.

I'm extremely glad to say that the weather has finally cheered up, the sun has came out, and it's time for REAL summer to start.
And it started at the beginning of this week for me.
I finally have a great excuse to get out there, and enjoy the great outdoors! Gosh now the holidays has well and truly hit the spot ;)

Anyway, i recently came across this amazing website for anyone with a big imagination, and a large vocabulary. And a yearning for learning of course! :D

Check this out;
http://www.creativewritingprompts.com/

It's absolutely amazing for a rainy day, or anyone who finds themselves bored within seconds of being stuck in the house. It features a list of RANDOM creative writing prompts, something to get just about anyone thinking.
Knowing me and my love for randomness, I was instantly hooked.
I had the sudden realization that I absolutely love to write, and have since i was a little girl. When i was 11, I wrote a short story that actually got published in a book. It was a competition, and mine made it through... I didn't even regard it as much, but looking back now, it was a pretty awesome achievement.
I have also come to realize that I envy those highly articulate story writers terribly, and aspire to be great with words. I swear it is a blessing, or an amazing achievement that i someday hope to accomplish.

In other regards, I have been spending most of my time with my faithful, loving family. Well, that's how I see it, and the experiences I've shared with them recently only emphasizes my choice of words.

Recently, I watched this amazing movie with my sister (My Sister's Keeper), and OMG I will never, ever forget it. It's one of those amazingly crafted movies that hits home', or in other words; it touches your heart...
The movie was beautiful in itself, not to mention experiencing it with my sister... I don't think we've ever cried that hard as a result of a cinematic experience. EVER...
Wow what a SUCCESS! Gosh, I definitely want to learn the mechanisms in creating a piece of artwork like that one. It is truly amazing.
Anyway, I also got the chance to spend the whole day out with my sis and later, we randomly decided on going out to dinner (something we hardly ever do). I dined in class accompanied by my mum and sis, and I eventfully learned a thing or two about table manners and etiquette, from only the greatest teacher of all time; my mummy of course!

I also managed to spend some time with some great friends of mine in the last few days. As well as working with some great people, and being introduced to some just as awesome new folks too. Gotta love making new friends :)
Yes, things have been fab, and with Chrissie coming up next week, things are only going to get better as the festive season swings into place. The relatives' parties, the anticipated presents, the joy of giving, the possibility of going away, the endless partying of New Years, and the final days left of what was an eventful, exciting year.


And this year is going to end with a bang ;)


Have a Merry, MERRY CHRISTMAS
and a Happy, HAPPY NEW YEAR Bloggers!


Yours Truly,

holiday mode Claire'


Why hello little bloggers. How have you all been ?

Well for me things have been pretty average. Summer holidays are in full swing, and i am officially out of "school mode" and into "Holiday mode".
"School mode" would have to be the busy, learning, socially active, hyper side to me (that's exactly while i love school so much). Where as, my "holiday mode" would be more of a chilled out, lazy-ish, calmer, relaxed Claire.

Well say hello to holiday mode Claire, because you're about to see a hell-of-a-lot more of here round here these days.


You see, I've had a lot more ERB (Empty Restless Bored) time these days, and have undeniably become highly familiarized with the location of simple household items, than say, the location of classrooms and others.
I've also been reminiscing a lot more than usual and i got up to some researching.
I rediscovered my love for fashion, photography and art. And with some of the amazing pictures I found, you get all three of those in one!

Check out the following pictures;

How coooool yeah?! :)
I got heaps more as well.

Anyway, other than my researching (oh and working heaps), i haven't really accomplished too much. I guess it's my chill out time of the year, time for me to reflect, perhaps chill with friends, family, relatives and enjoy the upcoming festive season.
This may sound odd, but yeah I'm going to miss the convenience of school. In fact, I already do.
It's strange because often (during the year), I've been contemplating the coming of summer holidays so i can relax, hang out with friends almost everyday, and have my well earned break.
But it's as if i preferred it at school... My social life is sort of dead at the moment, or at least unwell.

I seriously don't understand how anyone could EVER quit school? It's such a necessity to me, i gotta admit; i strive off the constant learning we are exposed to in a school environment. I absoloutely LOVE IT! That's why i believe i am going to University.
My mind's already made up :)

And as for holiday mode Claire' you are hearing from right now, I am just going to enjoy this free time while I can. I am definately going to make plans woth friends as of today, and plans for myself/things to achieve personally over this period of time.
I will hopefully (finally) get my L's.
I will try and participate in extra-curriculum courses.
I will work lots and save money.
I will catch up with all the relatives I miss ever so dearly.
I will plan for the future (next year)
And I will have a great time!
:):):):):)

tooooodles, enjoy ;)

user's rant

Hmmm. Just a minor observation i have suddenly come to terms with...

Well, It figures that Blogspot is far more worthwhile, far more personal, far more meaningful
than say; Facebook or Myspace.


Did anyone else notice?
Just an observation, but oh it's true and you know it!

hehe, peace out.
