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!!

Watching: Oboma (or more like the TV is on Oboma)
Chatting with: Jeani and Ewuradjoa
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!!!
