Merry Christmas everyone!

Well, my Christmas this year is reallly low key. Just invited a few relatives over for lunch.

But that's only because tomorrow is our housewarming party. And we're gonna have a lot of people coming here. Go my dad.

I invited a few of my close friends so that should be so bad. I'm just gonna make tomorrow more awesome than today. Cause I'll be rocking my brown shorts and the green top my aunt gave me today!!

Urgh. I though I could just laze about for the rest of the day but my mum wants us to see Avatar... I just talked my dad out of it... I'm just not in the mood. We can go watch it Sunday morning. Cause Eli and I might be going to the Ghana Rocks concert then!!

Suck it alll in and deal....

Listening to: Possibility by Lykke Li

Excited about: Finishing exams today and vacation next week!!!

Not excited about: TOK presentations tomorrow and Wednesday

So, so far my exams haven't been as disastrous as I imagined them to be. Lets just wait and see how the results turn out.

So even though I finish exams this week, it isn't gonna be all chilling and roses for me. On the contrary, it's gonna be a hell of a hectic week for me. From tomorrow, I have TOK presentations to worry about. Then I have the bulk of my university applications to worry about. Choir practice comes into the mix since Carols Night is this Sunday. And theeeeen Geography Fieldwork. Not to mention the fact that I'll have to go for classes starting tomorrow. Sheeesh. I preferred exams week....

So on a much lighter note, I got Metal Gear Solid Touch this week. It's hella fun!!! Except that I'm having a hell of a hard time with Crying Wolf. Knowing me and bosses, I'll eventually get it. I mean, I did strof with Shadow Ganon on LoZ: Ocarina of Time (And by strof, I mean, I spent a ******* long time on that boss. But it was fun!). I just have to pace myself....

Ok so figuring out what I'm gonna do this Christmas. Gaming most def (Okami and The Beatles Rock Band), reading (Girlfriend in a Coma and Toby Alone. And I want to re-read Deathly Hallows and Breaking Dawn) and getting my learners permit.

Now I need to email my mum about my highlights. And about snacks. Very important....

For the hell of it, I'm going through my old blog. Check it out if you want to find out how I was back in 06 and 07: http://sedirox.xanga.com

Gettin on that Skype traiiin!!

Listening to: What if by Aaliyah

Still sad about: My failed IOP exam

Hoping that: I do really well in these end-of-semester exams

Dreaming about: my highlights :]

I don't want to dwell too much about my failure in my IOP exams. I've complained, screamed, whined, and cried. Let the past be in the past where it belongs....

Internet was down for a while but it's back now. My SAT's were a disaster. Math 2 was ok but the Chemistry....hmmmm.... Just hoping for the best now...

OK so I've started applying to UC Berkeley. Hope it goes well. And then my other school's too are coming up. Fingers crossed everywhere! Whoosh!! So my acceptances are very much dependent on my end-of-semester exams. More pressure!!! :[

I'm gonna find a corner and wallow in self-pity....

Holding on tight!!

Finalizing: My list of universities

Thinking about: My Halloween costume for tomorrow >.<

My Halloween costume this year isnt gonna be as spectacular as last year. *sigh* I'm going as L from Death Note so I'm rocking a white long sleeve shirt, jeans and sneakers with heavy eye makeup.

So anyway, I think I've finalized my college list. I still have to apply to Berekely and Northwestern even though I don't want to. I had wanted to apply to a Japanese school but none of them offer computer science in English. Boo!!!

Still swamped with work. It really sucks.

Gum gives me heartburn....

Listening to: No Sound But The Wind by Editors

Jeani's shindig was soo much fun!!! Her, me, Ama, Eyram and Steffi watched the Ugly Truth over at the mall (The Apple Store was closed :[ ). Michael just happened to be at the mall by some weird coincidence (ha!). We had dinner at Captain Hooks and got to Jeani's place at about midnight and had some serious bedtime stories (whoosh!). I spent the whole day yesterday at Jeani's, didn't leave until after 5. So I devoted today to purely to working. And I must say, I haven't done too badly. Did an SAT Math 2 diagnostic test (550....kinda bad for a Math HL student but that's what revision is for.), Gonna learn a few chapters in SAT Chem, and I'll do French tonight (which is why I Facebooked now) after I get back from dinner at Ohemaa's. Today's her b'day!

Spending tomorrow the same way. Lounging. Studying. Working. Rock Banding. Might go see a movie on Thursday. MIGHT!!!

Got my hand-me-down iPhone this morning. And Rock Band tooo!!! Ha ha!!

Hey, how come Jeani hasn't told me how her day went??

History

Listening to: I Am Who I Am by The Cab ft Eloquent

Streaming: Smosh's new video, Twilight New Moon deleted scenes 3

Really happy: About what happened last night!!!!

Ghana made history last night!!!!!! We won the FIFA under 20 World Cup!! It was a serious nail biting match that went into extra time AND penalties!!! First African country to do it!!!! Is this a sign of things to come next year?? *fingers crossed*

Mid term so far so good! My report wasn't that bad so not too much worrying. But I will work harder the next half of the semester. I want to get a 6 in Math (!)

Not much going down today. Gonna spend the morning at home (like yesterday), dunno if I should get some work done (I foresee myself not doing my TOK essay this mid semester), maybe French or something light. Or I can just wait until Tuesday. Ha ha.

Well, whatever. But I know today I'm going to that new ice cream place and I'm gonna get an ice cream. Oh yeah, I have to practice my driving too...... AND I must to call Jeani and Daniel today. I must to!!!!

The fall of half a semester

Thinking about: Brand New Eyes and how amazing it's gonna be.

Also thinking about: MID SEMESTER!!

That math test I wrote was no effing joke! I lost 10 good marks and I'm likely not going to do soo hot...

But anyway, lets not dwell on the past but rather the future. I have a serious dilemma. My mum isnt online to ask but my dad is but I have a funny feeling he might not respond to an IM (and the internet is slllllooooowwww!!!!). Which house am I staying in mid-semester?? It's been bugging my mind since Sunday! Gawsh!

Ok, I just asked my dad. We are NOT moving this mid-semester. That means I have to unpack all my clothes. URGH!!

So that's one mid-semester mystery solved. Now I have to repshcologize myself back to my old house. That should be fun!

So tomorrow, Leaving school at 12-ish. Gonna get home and jam to The Beatles Rock Band! :)

Oh yeah, I just heard that the Apple Store FINALLY opened at the mall! Gonna go check it out on Friday (hopefully!) after I watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!!!

Strofing w/ the SAT

In the: General Science lab

Thinking about: How to get a 6 on an SAT essay

Oh ho! This SAT I'm going to write tomorrow! All I'm going to do is write essay after essay after essay! Work a little math too and learn a little vocab because I have to spend tonight cleaning. >.<

So anyway, the funfair was goood!! I had fun, even though I didn't stuff myself with as much junk food as I wanted to....ah well!!

Midterm in less than a week!!! SOOO hacking happy!! After tomorrow I'm smooth sailing until the 15 (with some homework in between. And working on my TOK essay). But I have sooo much to do midterm, it's not even funny!!! Here's a list

-College essays

-TOK essay

-SAT subject tests (Math 2 and Chem)

-Learning for Math in general

-Historical Investigation (which mean I have to start re-reading the books)

-Learning for History in general

-Finish Math portfolio

But besides all this, I'm still gonna have sooo much fun! Jeani's 18th was on Monday and she's planning a seriously fun day with me, Valerie, Ama and Eyram. And I'm planning on picking Jeani, Valerie and Eyram after their ACT exam on the 24th and we're just gonna hang!!!

I forgot the most important thing: which house am I gonna be in midterm? My mum said the house will be ready by then but...... She said our (Eli and I) bedrooms are ready but what's the point if the rest of the house isn't? And I really hope my dad got his iPhone 3G S cause I have been daydreaming about using his old iPhone. And now that I hear Rock Band is coming to the iPhone next week, I want it just as bad!!! :)

It's an IB thing dawg!

Listening to: I Belong To You by Muse

Hanging in the: General Science lab

Thinking about: My TOK essay

Hey hey hey!!!

Don't worry, Roxy's still alive! Just felt lazy to blog during the summer so I tweeted instead! But I decided to pick my blog back up again even if no one reads it!

So quick update on the past few months:

-Summer was awesome, merci beaucoup!!

-I'm done with my Extended Essay. And I must say it was actually pretty fun!

-My next hurdle is TOK >.<

-Still finalizing my college list. urgh

-IB is hell. Too damn much!!

-School competitions are now based on colors. I'm a Mighty Blue Cedar and we rock!! The whole colors thing has made school more interesting!! We lost the singing competition and the debate but we really hope we hit 2nd in the fun games we had yesterday (which was fun!)

Ok so that pretty much sums up the major points in my life! My grade's funfair is tomorrow. We dubbed it Supernova and our tops are ILL!! Ha ha, I'll try and upload some pics if I can!! I really hope it goes well! :)

And after that, Jeani's b'day's on Monday (she's finally gonna be 18!) and then, TOK presentation rehearsals on Tuesday, SAT on Saturday and Mid-semester on the 15th!! My dad got me The Beatles Rock Band and luckily it's compatible with my Guitar Hero controller! More all-night rocking for me on the 15th! And hopefully, we'll be moving into our new house! *fingers crossed*

Okey dokey, hold your bated breath for my next post which will possibly (or hopefully) be after the 6th!

The heat doesn't faze me!!!!

Hey all!!!

Just got into Dubai this morning. The flight was good even after all the mess when went through before... I didnt sleep the whole flight and eventually crash when we got to the hotel(around 7 am. Our flight left 5:30 GMT) even though I said I wouldn't. When we woke up it was 2 Dubai time and we spent the rest of the day at the awesome Dubai Mall which we didnt even finish seeing. Now we're just hanging out at the hotel room being random. Tomorrow we're going to the water world and other stuff. Then we leave for Birmingham early Sunday morning!!!

EXTREME PAIN!!! and hate...

Watching: Wizards of Waverly Place

Dreaming about: Boondocks

Excited about:Flying out on Thursday (Dubai!!!)

Going to: Redo my nails later... and watch Boondocks

Just got back from Jeani's place. Signifying that all feelings on naggingness is gone!! I spent Monday and today over at her place. We watched Twilight (again!) and it was just as awesome as before (The trailer for New Moon scared me. In a weird way).

I spent most of Saturday in agony due to the fact that I was braiding my hair for summer. And I haven't braided my hair in years!!!! I cried Sunday morning cause it hurt like hell and I hated it with a passion. But now I'm used to it (even though it gives me a headache everyday) and can't wait to take it out when I get back!!!

Ah, summer! Can't wait to get to Dubai. Depending on my situation, my next post will be from there. Hopefully...

Where are my slippers????????

Listening to: Me ye manager by Asem

Feeling: emotionally unstable

*Yawn* I just woke up and got this nagging feeling.....Okami. I'm on the first boss, Waka and he is damn hard. But then I haven't tried enough. I'll spend today doing that and hopefully I'll get through....

But that's not the only thing I'm worried about. I'm aslo worried about my sleepover with Jeani. I have a bad feeling it might not come on. It all depends on a get-together Ewuradjoa is planning. A friends of ours, Priya, is in town for a few days from India. And we haven't seen her in years!!! We're hoping to meet up with her tomorrow but our other friend, Nana Tachiaw, is kinda in a situation. She has this exam thing and her mum might not let her go out so we're keeping our fingers crossed. 'Cause if not then we have to plan on Monday...without Priya 'cause that's when she's leaving. And that's when I plan on going over to Jeani''s. If we get the green light for tomorrow, The I'll hustle to sleepover at Jeani's Sunday-Monday. The reason why I'm planning so hard is that when I get back, I'll be having SAT classes and working towards my license. My fingers are crossed tighter than lightening....

 So that's what's nagging me. And I also got the shock of my life yesterday. My dad came back form China in the afternoon (that's not the shock), he unpacked and bullied my sis and I into the car and drove us to the estate my uncle lives at. He stopped in front of an incompleted house and proclaimed "This is your new house"(This isn't the shock, I'm getting to it...Just kidding!) We had a look around and it's not bad. First off, it's not too far from our current house and Eli and I had our own rooms. And it's quite a nice house. We were suppose to have moved in by now but work got delayed...we might move in by end of summer...and I only get a few months in the house before college...

Now if you'll excuse my, I'm gonna go eat breakfast, defeat Waka after multiple tries and play Crystal Defenders.

Never say bored, just say you have a bit of free time!

Listening to: Internet radio on iTunes....ahh screw this cursed rebuffing stream!! Full Moon by The Black Ghosts

Dreaming about: Okami!!!

True to my word, the day after my last post was a horrible one. I don't remember too much but I got my Math paper and I failed miserably. Here's my report summary:

Math-3

Geography-6

French-5

English-5

Chemistry-5

History-5

Total points-29 out of an impossible 42. Epic. Fail

But anyways, the year ended on a nice note. The IB2's finally graduated and I'm so uber proud of them!!! They're all going to really good school in the fall: Columbia, Princeton, MIT, Leister....I don't remember the UK universities.....

But the last week of school, was killa! I had to do karate, choir and cadets. I got kicked out of cadets last minute 'cause I missed the dress rehearsal due to killa cramps. So I ended up singing and punching on Saturday...

But now it's summer and I'm home!!!! 10 more days and I'm on my way to Dubai!!

"Denial is the strongerst form of affirmation"- Jeani

Listening to: the sound of half my prep class playing bingo (not the kind old people play)
Worried about: Frigging french orals tomorrow!!!

Bonjour tout le monde!!!

My prep class is mucho grande noisy tonight but I'm not gonna tell them to keep it down. This is our form of rebelling the fact that we STILL have to go for prep even when exams are over. The teachers need to take a hint....

The past few days of my life have been quite fun!! Saturday, I dressed up as Jan Di from Boys Before Flowers for the fashion show we had for entertainment. Luckily, I didnt get punished for wearing a short skirt until what happened 2 years ago...

Sunday, I just chilled out and went to SOS for their Pan-African Night Market. It was loads of fun. I tried this really cool Ethiopian dish which was quite yummy. I dont know what it was called though. And I saw Micheal (Yipee!!!) and he gave me some really nice blue and purple beads. And once again, I got that nagging feeliing in me that I should have gone to SOS. Oh well...

Today was a holiday (African Union Day) and the Pan-African club organized a sale. We sold kelewele, ice cream, coconuts and condensed milk toffee (when I get home, I'm making truckloads of that thing and eating it all by my alone). We made 250 ghc!!!! The music was soley African so I heard all of my fave songs like Mo Gbono Feli Feli, Azonto and the Pigaro club mix!!

So after this much fun, I'm absolutely dreading first period French tommorow. Not to mention see some of my exam papers in which I did absolutely badly!! (I have to start making excuses for my parents.). And the cherry on the cake- French orals. I'm gonna be soooo depressed tommorow....

In which the most awesome epiphany was had!!! :-P

In the: Biology lab

Worried about: getting a flipping compiler!!!!

(follow me on twitter! www.twitter.com/sedirox)

Do me a favour-don't ask me how my exams went. It's just been one disaster after the other. My only OK-ish paper was English. Followed by Geog paper 1. Don't get me started on Math... I was kinda sick already... and I failed. miserably.

I had a really awesome epiphany on Friday. My life long aspiration is to be a renowned video game designer like Shigeru Miyamoto. But to say "I want to be a video game designer" to anyone who asks is kinda... well... sounds off-ish. So, I decided that instead I'll say "I want to be a computer programmer" which does sound kinda cool. And, if all goes well, I'll be a computer programmer by the end of the year. Right now, I'm in the process of learning C++ (hence the need for a compiler) So if someone asks me sometime next year what I want to be, I'll say "A computer programmer but I'm already one" S-O-H-A-C-K-I-N-G-C-O-O-L!!!!!!!

According to my countdown timer, I have 17 days, 0 hours, 10 minutes and 40 seconds until summer!!! (6th June!!!!!) And then...my last year of high school. The IB2's are leaving this week. I'm gonna miss some of them so much it's not even funny... Lucie, Myma, Marcelle, Ashley, Lana.... v.v Can't wait for my graduation. Michael has promised to design my dress for me so that means, it's gonna be off the hook!!! Yayness!!!!

Ok,  I'm gonna go wallow in self pity cause my Extended Essay is still giving me hassle. I have to go for a police scanning tommorow.

P.S. my favorite couple broke up. Well, not like they were going out. I just used to see them together a lot and I really liked it. Now, I hardly see them together...

Savior of the village!

Listening to: Jai Ho by the Pussycat Dolls

Drinking: Orange juice

Thinking about: Twilight. I need to watch it again!!

I just got a sudden realization: It's been almost a year since my latest crush which officially lasted about 3 weeks but lingered on for a while. The... weird?... annoying?... random?...let's go with random...The random thing about it is the fact I started liking him on his birthday. Random huh? Well, I guess that's what maked it different. And I can comfortably say that out of all the 5 crushes I've had, he was the best. So let's just say I'm kinda glad I freefell. 2 days before his b'day, I knew what was gonna happen. I told myself "Sedi, you cannot get a crush at this crucial point in time of your life. Besides, you know what will happen to you at the end of the day." My IG's were only a few days away and I knew it would end badly. I always end up hurt.I guess that's why they're called crushes. But did I listen. Noooooo. I fell. Quite bad actually.

But you know what hurts? All the time I liked him, he actually liked someone else. When I found out, naturally, I was quite upset. He didn't know I liked him so I can't really blame him much. Funnily enough, we actually like a couple anytime we were together. Holding hands, laughing,hugging...gosh it was all so cute!!! The Se-rah told me that he liked someone else. That was when the process of forgetting began but it took a long time. It still lingers but it's not as strong. Sometimes I'll look at him and be like "Can someone please tell me why I had a crush on this dude?" Granted, he's a nice guy, but sometimes I just wonder... Now I think he likes this other girl and anytime I see them together, I get really happy. And I mean happy. Jeani and Myma think I'm delusional but I just think I'm glad he's moving on. Since he is, I don't have to tell him, right?

And besides, I gotta concentrate on more importanter stuff in my life. Like G.A.M.I.N.G.!!! My half-sis Amy got married last week and my dad went to Utah for the wedding. I felt that my gaming had become very one-sided *coughGuitarHerocough* so I need to come back down to earth. And what better way to do that than to get a game that has been critically acclaimed by everyone-Okami. I started it last night and it's really good. The one thing I love about it it the fact that the graphics are like Old Japanese paintings. Tres fantastique!!! I'm gonna play it when I'm done here!!!

So now my half-sis is married and my family had expanded!!! My dad was telling me stories and they sound so well-behaved and nice. Gosh, I really wish I had gone!! It sounded like it was so much fun!! *sigh* School sucks!!

Exams are coming up *yuck* Which involves a lot of studying *yuck* and I still haven't done my EE! Sucks even more!! Wish me luck v.v 

No longer special!!!!

In the: computer lab with Grace and Elsie
Worrying about: my math quiz tomorrow and my Extended Essay
Excited about: My half-sis's wedding this Saturday!!!!!!!!!

L is for the way you look at her

O is for the only one you see

V is very very very happy-making

E is even more than anyone that you adore can...

Ok, sorry about that. It's just that since Friday, I've been seeing some individuals together a lot and it's just made me really happy. You would think that I'm jealous or something but I'm not. Honest! I'm just really happy about it. I saw the two of them together and my world immediately became right again. I asked Rita yesterday if anything was going on between the two of them but she said no. I begged her to just lie to me and tell me that there was something going on but she said nothing was going on. She even said that the guys doesnt like the girl and the girl likes someone else. Well, I really hope that the guys really likes the girl cause I dont mind too much if the girl likes someone else. If the guy didn't like anyone, I would become upset. Again.

So.... My grade has already started planning for the funfair for next semester. It's called Super Nova and I'm in charge of the Games Room! More Guitar Hero!!! I want a really creative name for it. Something having to do with the galaxy. Maybe Venus or something. But I know we'll have the usual stuff like console and what not but I want to do something uber creative with the place. I'll have this summer to come up with stuff.

Oh man I can't wait for summer!!! I know it's a bit of a long way off but still!!! My summer itinery has been planned out: I leave for Dubai a week after school vacates, spend 2 days there, go to Brimignham for the Rotary Convention, then go to London for a few days then take the Eurostar to France and spend about 3 weeks in Paris with Edna, take the Eurostar back to London with Edna this time, back to Dubai and then home sweet Accra!!! Bummer I'm not going to the US though... I don't mind too much...

I'm just recovering from a serious sickness bout. I had karate on Friday and because I hadnt done it in so long, I was aching from head to toe afterwards. Then I had dance practice for entetainment after my SRC meeting until 1am. I woke up Saturday morning and had a sore throat and cough in addition to my aching body. But I was still able to dance for entertainment. We had this rep your country thing and my grade got Jamaica so you can just imagine the kind of dances we had to do. We tied first with the Grade 9's but then there was a fight and a dance battle and they won. I slept for an hour, watched Space Jam and fell asleep again. Woke up tired and still aching Sunday morning with cramps this time. Dozed through church and spent the rest of the day on my bed listening to music and watching The Colbert Report. Monday, still kinda has cramps and still kinda ached but it was ok. Now I'm as fit as a fiddle!!! Oh yeah, I also had a cold the WHOLE weekend too!!!

I'm really upset that I can't go for my half-sis's wedding thiss weekend. I havent seen her in almost 2 years and she doesnt reply to my emails!!! Gosh!! My dad left (or is leaving) today for the wedding in Utah. My mum isnt going but mu uncle and a few of my dad's friends are. They better take pictures so I can see them when I go for my IB exeat.

Lacuna Coil's new album Shallow Life is in stores now!!!! Can't wait to get it from iTunes!!!!!

Chez moi!!

Listening to: Joy FM

Glad to be: home!!!

Looking forward to: the beach!!!!

So even though mid term was about 3 weeks ago, I'm still really glad to be home!!!! And lucky I don't have any report to show or any form of homework apart from my Extended Essay which I don't mind too much. MORE CHILLINGS!!!!!

Okey dokey y'all. April Fools' day was Epic Fail with a capital E and F. See, I did research the day before and found the Oreo-and-toothpaste joke. I tried it at snack but no one believed me. My best trick was the one I played on Nana Adu-Kofi. He came to me and asked me for Heroes episode 21 and I casually told him I had it so I put it on his laptop for him. In actual fact, I gave him Kevin Pereira's video "808 and Expiration dates" with the file name "Heroes 21".  He fell for it!!! He tracked me down in the computer lab and really gave it to me. I laughed my head off the whole time. I also tricked my sis Eli. She wanted a song, Runaway by Styl-Plus and I told her I had it but in actual fact, I just renamed Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday to that. She was so upset.... LOL!!!

One of the things I dislike about being a college-bound student are the arguments I have to encounter with my parents. I just got home and I had this disagreement with my mum about standardized tests. I wrote the ACT last week and now she wants me to do SAT AND ACT again cause she thinks not all schools accept ACT and she also thinks that the ACT is and add-on to SAT. She got me really fired up that my good mood kinda died. Now I have to have the same discussion with my dad which is likely gonna be worse...

So much stuff has happened in school this past few weeks that has made me realize how extremely lucky I am. Priscilla mentioned it some time. I hardly have anything to worry about. My grades are good, my friends are good too, almost nobody talks about me behind my back, I'm liked by almost everyone... and I realized that it's really true. And I'm eternally grateful for that. But funnily enough, some people can't understand why I've never dated before. Myma was really shocked when she found out. She said I'm really pretty and I have a really great personality but why? I told her that it's only this academic year that boys have started taking me seriously.  But whatever....

OH!!! I gotta go!! Beach time!!

... huh?

Researching: On a good Extended Essay topic in Math

Gosh! I've only been back in school for a week and I have soo much work to do! IB is hell y'all!!

Anyway, I don't wanna think too much about it or I'll get depressed. But not much has happened on my social side. Eli's birthday was on Monday, Francine's birthday was on Wednesday and Jemima's birthday in 8 days!!! Gotta think of something good for her!!

Not much to talk about just wanted to update for the sake of updating!!

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time

Listening to: Angel Cry by Corbin Bleu

Quite liking: Pink Panther 2. It was hilarious!!

One of the things I love doing on Facebook is reading people statuses!!! Almost everyone's on about the UEFA Champions League. I randomly watched one of the matches yesterday. AC Roma vs Aresenal. Arsenal won. Like it affects me.... 

So anyway, past few days have been crazy! I went to Erika's on Tuesday and now my nails glow in the dark!!! And I finally had my guitar battle with Ellis and I lost miserably... making me the 2nd best Guitar Hero player in school...yay?

Yesterday, I had lunch with Ewuradjoa. After all the plenty noise we made about not going to the mall, we went after lunch.... When I came home I had to go visit some relative with my mum. Fun? Yup!

Today, I saw Pink Panther 2 with Eli, Jeani and her sis Steffi. It was hilarious!! And now I have to do my uni research and I WILL NOT GO TO BED UNLESS I GET SOMEWHERE WITH MY FRENCH PRESENTATION!!!!! MUAHAHAHA!!

And I NEED to get my software update!! Internet, don't fail me now!! I wanna use the new Safari... 

And and (again!) I think I'm back in love with Corbin Bleu!! His new album rocks!! sigh sigh sigh!! 

Note to self: Always wash off makeup before sleeping

Feeling: well, not my usual 289.67% hyperness...

Laughing at: Nigahiga's parody of the Rihanna/Chris Brown incident

This weekend was really packed!!! The SOS funfair was dead (sorry Michael, ours was better!) but at least I got out of the house. Yesterday, i went for a barbecue at my Uncle's place cause he wanted to introduce the family to his fiancee. She's cool. I also found out that I have a serious passion for karaoke. The barbecue was at my aunt's place and her kids had a Wii with High School Musical Sing It. Even though I'm not a big fan of HSM as I used to be, I thought I'd be a laugh to try. So I bullied everyone into letting me play and it was fun. I even got recorded by some of the other people invited!

Franklina's birthday was yesterday so she had a dinner. I had a blast, being the life of the party like I always do!!!  Everyone said I looked nice!! When I went home, my sis had borrowed a mic from my aunt's place and we jammed on Guitar Hero until 1:30 am!!!

Today I was a good student, I worked on my Math and English essay and got a nice dent into them. Woo hoo!! Tomorrow, I'll work on my French before heading over to Erika's for my guitar battle with Ellis!! I hope I win even though I've hardly practiced...

Bad news: One of the actresses from Boys Before Flowers committed suicide... Sad... This may delay filming...

I can hang with boys boys if only they're talking about something I can relate to, like video games!!

Listening to: No Sleep Till Brooklyn by The Beastie Boys

Ok, I have come to the conclusion that I will blog more often. Why? Because when I don't, junk plies up and my posts become too long...

So most important: My birthday was really low-key this year. Jeani and Valerie put a birthday sign on my cupboard door while they thought I was sleeping (damn birthday excitement!) And they tried making a powerpoint presentation but I caught them in the middle of it... But they persisted and I was nicely surprised after prep. They and Dzifa, Kelly, Ama, Jemima, Eyram and Priscilla made a huge card for me and we had chocolate ice cream!! My day was also really crapping at one point but my grade 10 croonies pulled through for me and gave me a card!! Fang also got me some stuff- a notebook, some pens and stickers. I jot my random emo moments in that book!!

This half-semester has been uber stressful! The dance competiton really killed a lot of people, me especially! I did both part- I had a minor role in the African dance and mixed the sound for the Contempoary dance. Late nights were in order, especially the week before the competiton. I slept in 3 or my classes one time- Math, TOK and Geog. Sad... And at the end of the day, Catherine was 2nd for both parts... Hey, we tried!!! And we rocked the house!! Just not enough to wow the judges...

Tomorrow is the SOS funfair!! Can't wait!! I'll get to see Micheal!!! And hopefully Jeani will be there. And Fang (fingers crossed)


By the way, today is Ghana's independence day!! 52 years of independence rox!! Today, I went to Ada with my family for one of their friend's birthday party. Part 2 is tommorow in a club! Adults...

Wow! Short post. I must really be tired. I can feel my eyes closing...

Forever lonely on the 14th

Can't find: my French notebook
Worrying about: falling grades in Geography and French
Looking forward to: my birthday and mid-term!!
Dreaming about: The chocolate I am going to devour soon ;-P


First off, Jeani said I should mention that she is stressed so.... Jeani is stressed. OK, she's not as stressed as she was this weekend but she is still stressed because she is doing her Economics presentation right now and she can't wait for tomorrow cause she doesnt have Economics again for the rest of the week.

The prefect list was annouced and the new prefects have been in power for about a week now. Jeani got Entertainment, Kafui Deputy Senior Prefect and Ama MPH prefect.

So seeing as Jeani is Entertainment and Valentine's day was around the corner, I helped her start the chocolate orders. First, we had to get an estimate of how many bars we had to buy so we asked round and got an estimate of almost 2000 bars!!! Then we had to get the names of who they were sending the chocolate to and wrap and deliver. Here's where the mixup started: We had the lists both on paper and on Jeani's laptop and stayed up until midnight on Friday wrapping the chocolate. People would see the list on the paper, do the wrapping and writing of messages and put the list away and another person would do the same list AGAIN!! Same thing happened with the lists on Jeani's laptop. So there were double orders while people got no orders. Even after staying up, we still couldnt finish so majority of Saturday was spent wrapping and delivering (some Valentine's day). And then people came to attack us asking for refunds cause their orders didnt go through (and I am very embarassed to say that I found a list in my school bag- a delivery that never went through). So, that was basically my quite crappy/stressful 14th. The only fun part of that day was watching Episode 10 of my favourite Korean soap 'Boys Before Flowers'!!! That show rocks!!! I sent to 40 people this year and got about 10 bars (hey at least it's an increase from last year's 7!!)

You know how some people say that Friday the 13th is a bad luck day? They were wrong: Friday the 13th for me was Epic Fail day. g4tv.com used to make Thrusdays Epic Fail days but they stopped a long time ago (it was fun while it lasted!) Lemme explain:

Seeing as people has decided to send chocolate to day students and teachers (*cough* yours truly is a good example to use!) Jeani and the whole "Entertainment Squad" decided to deliver their on Friday so we wrapped Thrusday night. Luckily, it was only 18 bars so we were done in no time. We decided to deliver at snack time when the whole school was in the MPH. I started delivering and some of my friends wanted to deliver too so I gave them a few bars to distribute. I put the ones from me aside and told Valerie to deliver them for me. I was only sending to Se-rah, Keith and Fang. Se-rah had been MIA for the past few days so I couldn't get hers to her then, Fnag was having a serious paper mix-up or something so hers was put on hold so it was only left with Keith's He had an exam after snack so I walked Valerie all the way to the Exam Hall. I told her to wait and I went to the art room with Jeani to give Yea-Young her chocolate. We came out and Valerie started complaining that he wasnt coming fast enough. I told her to be patient and that she was doing me a really big favour and that I love her forever. I was about to go back downstairs when she told me he was coming. Having no other option, I ran back into the art room and stayed there for about 10 minutes. Valerie came in, one less bar of chocolate later and told me her side:

After I ran into the art room, one of the Physics teachers came up to her and started teasing her cause her birthday was the next day. Keith came up and thought today was her birthday and tapped her. She turned and did her stupid delivery song thingy and gave him the chocolate. He smiled and she had to remind him that it wasnt from her. His smile became brighter and then she came into the art room.

I couldnt leave just yet cause he was still standing outside. He finally went into the Exam hall and I finally left. I decided to play hide-and-seek for the rest of the day which was fun for a while. I went with Jeani to check her SAT scores (by the way, I failed mine. I got 1760... Jeani didn't tell me hers). Then I went for my TOK class and finished up the lists. While I was working on the lists, I kept on seeing Jeani at the library entrance. Getting extremely bored after an hour, I went their to see her and then I asked Valerie if she had delivered to Se-rah and Fang. Se-rah was still MIA and Fang was still paper mixed up. Luckily, I saw Se-rah bag in front of the library and put it in. She was so excited about it but she couldnt tell me face-to-face. She did it via Facebook:

hey, thanks for the valentine's chokii~!
it was unexpectable...
luv ya too~~~
i won't 4get wat u hav done to me...
at least i hav to pay you bac...huh?
welll....
i hav 4gotten that valentine was coming...
happy future valentine^3^~~~~
thanks!

Can someone please explain why people have to buy gifts for people if someone gives them a gift? I happen to really like giving gifts to my friends and dont expect anything back in return.

Where was I?






Oh yeah: Epic Fail Friday!

So I come out of the library and Jeani is still waiting for me and told me Keith passed by. I wiped my brow of imaginary sweat, glad to have missed him. But quite unfortunately, he came from the other corner.... He said thanks and kinda go a little worried that he didn't get me anything. I told him no worries and walked off. Jeani was disappointed, Valerie was disappointed cause they were expecting something much more...um... bigger? Rita said this whole thing was not Epic Fail. She wouldnt know Epic Fail even if it bit her in her behind!!

Now, I can gladly concentrate on the most important day of the year: MY BIRTHDAY!!! 9 days to legalization!!!

Not my fault!!

(lack of statuses)

Hey hey hey!!! Don't give me that look! I know it's been a while but it's soo not my fault!! The wireless access points in school have all been destroyed due to excessive downloads from the junior years so now the network now runs on cable internet. So I am actually in the computer lab right now. *sigh*

So much has happened, I don't even know where to start!! My SAT's were OK; the atmoshere was not conducive for writing a 3hour 45 minute paper AT ALL!! We wrote it at some local high school and some of the students who were'nt writing were making a helluva lot of noise. And these kids were running around screaming at the top of their voices. The results should be out soon...

The month of February means my birthday's coming up!! I almost forgot until last week. You can't blame me though, I going through a lot!! School's gotten way to crazy and it's just stating to get a little less hectic because of the fact that my SAT's are over and that the drama competition too is over (Catherine came 3rd). So I'm having quite a bit of free time on my hands and it feels soo awesome!!!

Speaking of which, Valentine's Day (aka Valerie's birthday!!) is coming!! Can't wait!! Last year we had a chocolate delivery in school and I sent chocolate to 21 people!! This year, I know it's gonna be more than 21, I have the usual suspects; Jeani, Eli, Erika, Valerie.. some new additions; Rita, Keith... and unfortunatly, some people from last year wont be getting any; Monita, Micheal.... CAUSE THEY'VE LEFT!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! (uncalled for!!)

Prefect elections are almost over!! I thought I would be nominated for a position but I wasn't. The campaigning time was too short. So I'm not gonna become a prefect. People have been telling me since Grade 7 that I would be a prefect in Grade 11. But I'm not. Jeani was nominated for Entertainment prefect and Ama and Kafui were both nominated for Head Prefect!! The finalized list will be ready by tomorrow. I'm actually not upset cause being a prefect would be really stressful. So I'm gonna campaign to be the Student Representitive Council member for my class. If I get elected, I'm gonna fight hard for change in the school!!!!

In 09, try and live in the moment...

Listening to: Daylight Dreamer by Lacuna Coil

Drinking: Water. Best drink EVA!!

The past few days have been good. The New Year's party this year was extremely dead. WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE FIREWORKS!!! Hung around for a bit then went to a party Saturday night. 

My cousin, Bemma, talked me into going. She was in Ghana for Christmas so she said we should met up and the party. I talked my parents into letting me go and they talked my grandma into letting me go and I got a ride from Yasmin,. It was loads of fun!! I just wish that people learned to live in the moment....

I was hanging with Doreen for a bit and I really wanted to dance so I grabbed Katakyie's friend whom I had seen earlier and danced with him. While we were dancing, he started kissing me on my cheek and I was a bit weirded out but I ignored it. Then I think he wanted to kiss me on my lips but I kept turning my head in different weird and funny angles (ha ha). Then he said he had to go look for him cousin. I went back out and found my cousin Gabriella and started talking to her for a bit. Then this other guy asked me to dance so I did then after he asked for my number and I gave it to him. I told him I had to leave cause Yasmin said we had to leave at 1. He too equally tried to kiss me but I pushed him off. Then he hugged me as if I was gonna die the next day. Then he calls when I'm in the car on my way to Yasmin's place cause I was sleeping over at her's. He wanted me to meet him outside but I said I was on my way home so whatever!! Then other guy called me yesterday but my head hurt like hell so I wasn't really functioning properly... whatever. Like I care. I really wish guys could learn to live in the moment. Like that episode of How I Met Your Mother where Ted met the baker at his friend's wedding and they lived the moment. For a while... You know, dance with a girl at a party and that's the end of that. Instead of trying to kiss her and trying to hook up with her later. If I were a guy, I would just ask a girl to dance, dance with her and that's the end of it. They make life complicated for themselves...

So anyway, Ghana FINALLY has new president- Prof. John Evans Atta Mills. Personally, I'm just glad all this election drama is over. It really ruined my Christmas... He gets sworn in on Wednesday and he was declared President-elect on Saturday. Talk about a fast transition...

School starts on Saturday. Not looking forward to it. AT ALL!! I gotta do my school shopping too..
