Emily's Blog https://ameblo.jp/audrey-massuko/ Hi my name is Emily Audrey Harper, and here I blog about my life in Hong Kong! ja Throwback 2013
YES, it is 2014 and I am so over being excited for the new years. I use to think "This year is totally gonna change. Leggo." These days I seem to have gotten more realistic and less hopeful. I mean, going into a new year does not exactly mean all our problems just disappear. Or that we would suddenly become a different person, we don't—unless we try to. We remain the same people, same life, same world, same problems. Of course, you may view things differently, and try to impose changes to your habits. But its not like the moment the clock strikes 12 ding your life is changed. It's just that people DECIDE to impose these changes with the new year. I mean, they could have made the decision even before the new year started.

But let's not get cynical.

Looking back at 2013, it has been an amazing year with some minor regrets, but amazing memories.

First off, it started off with this amazing guy GWA. Who I really really liked. But obviously it didn't work out, and it wouldn't have anyways. But nonetheless, it was an amazing experience and it's one of the best things that's happened to me in that area.

Then there were those fieldtrips with the art class, which was actually really fun. Amazing Race at Cheung Chau was amazing and it was a great day to spend with the friends. Summer was relaxing, although i wished I had hung out with the peeps more. And the trip to Japan was just as amazing, as I was reminded of why I liked the country so much in the first place.

Year 13 started off really rocky, with the dip in my grades and the drop in my Physics grades. But I've learnt my lesson and I'm making up for it. Then there are those heartthrobing moments when i click the submit button on my university applications, although i still have more to be done.

Clockenflap was my first music festival, and also the best night EVER. Watching The 1975 play was absolutely amazing. Only I wished I had walked over earlier so I had a better spot . The night was also my debut of drinking at a public area, which was exciting and I'm glad I shared it with the besties. Although Ray looked really mad haha! She stepped aside while we got the drinks, as if afraid.

The weird trip to the peak for geography was alright, but the bus ride down with Gigi was exciting. It's nice to meet someone from where I was born and see their perspective of the place I grew up. It was weird we didn't ask for his name though, although we probably should have. It was also nice to hang out with Gigi the first time; we always talked in school but we never got the chance to walk around!

There was also the night of Christine's birthday with absolutely amazing food at Fat Angelo's. Although i wished we could have walked around more, that's the only thing I don't like about GT..... when she needs to leave, she tries to get everyone to leave with her..... but nonetheless it was a fun and crazy girls night with great talk.

Disneyland with Louise, GT and Ray was real fun. Ray and I were having spinning the fastest ever tea cup haha. The shows were amazing, the singing was amazing. Then there was the occasional hot guy that walked past (tsk tsk the one with the red beanie—that was how we identified him). Then there was this other guy that was cute-ish but my theory is that he's gay(his jeans were real tight) but we sat across from him on our boat ride haha. great excuse to stare *cough*

Although my make-up birthday lunch in Soho on Christmas Eve was not as glamourous as Christine's, it was great food and fun talk. The sleepover was amazing. We sang christmas songs, made mince pies. I also "accidentally" let Ray drink a Mojito, which was her first ever real drink. Ahaha. Then there was the girl talk card games which we invented from the trip to India, while I drank beer that honestly tasted slightly like gravy :/ . Then we watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, till we almost passed out.

The trip to Macau was fun I guess. It was nice to take some polaroids of the area. And eat a lot. I personally thought the best bit was when I got the Turkish ice cream from the cutest guy ever, or one of anyways. But I freaked out so much I just walked away after. I should have taken a photo with him first :P But it was nice to go with the family, great times.

And now its 2014 and I hope I learn to focus more on work (which I am totally making a start right now as I type this *sarcasm*). And I hope my dad will let me go to phuket for my grad trip—it'll be a friggin amazing trip with the girls! I also hope I get into Waterloo, but top choice university. Or well, hope I get an offer from at least one university anyways. Anyways, I just hope things will turn out right. :)

But this year, I really wanna get into the healthy lifestyle. I wanna look good on prom night, so that's my goal day. That's a little resolution for the year. Oh and stop procrastinating so much..... which is to stop typing and get my to my Chinese writing task.

So I shall zoom off.

peace.

We got a day off from Mid-Autumn festival on Friday and now we get Monday off. It's absolutely great. ドクロ

This was apparently the strong typhoon in 34 years.

So I guess it's expected that it should get us out of school. グッド！

It would have been like a joke if it didn't, especially after all the news report about it being the monster storm and stuff. べーっだ！

Drawbacks from the typhoon? Well, we missed out university fair this year.... but good thing that there's always a Canadian University fair in Wan Chai each year. Plus I would probably have spent most of my time getting free pens and badges チョキ

, since there weren't goin to be many universities that I was gonna apply to anyways.

Looks like I'll be working again today though. I have a Chinese IOA tomorrow

, a writing assignment due and a dictation to study for. I should probably also work on art.... I think my teacher expects a finished piece of work soon... with reporting grades due in a week or something.... ショック！

I feel like there's nothing much to write about... and there really is nothing to write about. I'm afraid IB has raided me of any interesting events.... シラー

I should stop before I pollute ameba with my IB insanity and rambles.

love,
japfreak

For the past.. well two weeks I've been working on stuff and procrastinating and all that usual student stuff. There still isn't much extra work that I have to commit to other than my Math investigation and my Extended Essay—which by the way is every student's nightmare.

The thing is, the deadlines for the first drafts are published and set. Then m absolutely WONDERFUL (and please note the sarcasm in this) decided that he is gonna give us pretty much the weekend and have our first drafts due in next week. Now for the majority of the class, who has done near nothing, this is the absolute more horrible, most cruel and the most awkward moment.

We sat in class with our mouths open at the shock. Maybe a few were drooling. Of maybe that's exaggerating it a little too much. But really.......

I guess I should get a coffin made soon.....

And crap I just remembered about designing this thing for a school event. So I better get to work because photoshop on my laptop has been being a bitch.....

ugh

peace.

What this all really about is part of my scholarship program... Basically school fees for the entire year is covered so of course there are some jobs i must conform to....

And part of that is this lunch I'm suppose to have... We were buddied with another scholar and we just have lunch with them...

The thing is I'm paired up with this guy who I haven't really talked to in a while. I talked to him a little a few years back when we were in thr samr class... But noy really since then. So of course this lunch is going to be awkward. Topping that, this guy also happens to be cute, and I tend to make a fool of myself in front of people like him...

So now I'm freaking out about what we might talk about. Am I gonna do or day something totally lame. Is he gonna judge me somehow.

The thing about guys like him is that they are extremely smart... And they often judge you by your itelligence in your actions and all that...

The only good thing though. Is that apparently he wants to get into architecture as well. Buy I don't really see what we're gonna talk about anyway.....

Anyways. This is one of those wordy rambles with no emojis because I am honestly not bothered.

I just hope tomorrow goes okay...

stay cool.

So today I decided to go for a run
.....

And can I just say
that the temperature in Hong Kong today is 31°C

And the sun was blazing

And since I haven't done any real sports in a while...

The run was super exhausting...

The good thing though

Was that I probably got a light tan

But that also means
Tanlines....

But too bad.

Anyways..

It's Thursday,
so I better start finishing off some of the work...

I'm exhausted now..
from the sun...

so I shall update again later

3 days left of summer!

Live. Laugh. Love.

love, japfreak

xoxo.

I'm just glad I take the easier class

I'm going to a

party

So it should be fun ^w^

But
I should remember as well to keep on track with my diet

I need to tone my muscles...

Hopefully I should reach my goal by prom next year

I also decided on an outfit for the first day of school

It's really simple

But I'll take a photo on the day

And well, I'm trying to get my Chinese homework done now. Meh.

But at the same time I'm fantasizing about this guy called Furukawa Yuki who just so happened to have moved to Canada at a young age. にひひ

And he just so happened to have went to Toronto. チョキ

So he and I are pretty much from the same provence. アップ

And the fact that he speaks fluent English is pretty cool グッド！

....granted that he did grow up over there... べーっだ！

I've learnt a bit of korean and how to read it, so I feel like this higher being, speaking so many different languages ドクロ

Haha I just really like exploring languages and learning to communicate with people from another place ニコニコ

안녕하세요. 나느 노드르 이다.
こんにちは。オードリーです。よろしくお願いします！
你好，我叫柯德莉。請多多指教！
namaste. meru nam Audrey me ho. (NEPALI)
Bonjour. Je m'appelle Audrey. J'ai 16 ans, est je suis Canadienne. je suis ne a Ottawa, Canada. Je parle beaucoup des langes, mais je suis plus de familiariser avec l'anglais, cantonais, mandarin et un peu de japonais.

Unfortunately I don't know how to type either Thai or Nepali so that's as close as I'm going to get to the actual language. But gotta admit my French is getting better. 得意げ

Sorry I'll be more modest.

Anyways. School is starting next week. As in next Monday. And that's pretty crazy. I don't think I'm ready to go back yet. I can do another week of holiday, maybe even a month!

Sigh. Well, I guess I should get back to work. I mean I still have stuff to do.

I'll try not to procrastinate so much.

]]> https://ameblo.jp/audrey-massuko/entry-11586184834.html Sun, 04 Aug 2013 14:21:40 +0900 Bad Luck to the MAX! I LOVE the decisions I make.....

Even so, I did finish my presentation a couple of hours after. Now, normally my luck its absolutely fabulous. キラキラ

Even when I go into school with things ready, I don't present until a few lesson after.

But looks like the world decided to spin things around and I ended up having to present today

. And as many of you would probably have guessed, yes, it was really sucky—granted that I only did it the night before. しょぼん

Nevertheless, I feel that it is better than some of my classmates.

MOVING ON

I now have the workload from my school magazine that I need to work on. I'm pretty much the editor and manager and all that even though the name is titled to another person. I guess I got too excited in the beginning and now I've ended up having to do a lot of work.... べーっだ！

And as if the weather is not already crazy in Hong Kong, the temperature dropped under 20°C today which was very weird. I thought summer was finally here... プンプン

I just hope it doesn't rain again because I need that sun to shine. Gotta have that vitamin D!

What I need right now is a day off and get my nails done then watch a movie. yes please. The things we do as students.......

peace out

japfreak ]]> https://ameblo.jp/audrey-massuko/entry-11522802565.html Thu, 02 May 2013 21:44:54 +0900 couples.... couples everywhere Ok here's the thing.
This morning when I woke up

,
the weather was the

best in forever.

It was, of course, a really good sign
because today was the last of my exams—and the math exams by the way

.
So I was super confidence and hyped up! グッド！

Then right after the exams
we all looked out the window

Then it was a literally

WTF

moment.....

Basically, it started raining.

And when i say rain I do mean like literally raining....

So when I walked out of school...
(after I had to go ALL the way to the 4th floor for my exit pass)

I had to wait at the subway.... ガーン

hoping to see someone I knew that I could tag along with かたつむり

Of course, the weather just had to play such a role today
(as in telling the future)

that, of course, no one came. プンプン

That is, except this senior couple from my school....
the girl lived in the building next to mine
so she was probably there to escape from the rain too....
I was fine with that really,
BUT
the fact that it was 100% PDA パンチ！

And I was just standing there....

It was super awkward.

There were a few reasons as to why I was grossed out.... ish.
1) They were like hugging and stuff.... A LOT....
2) I was KINDA jealous.. 'cause I guess it was cute in another perspective
3) I HAD A CRUSH ON THAT GUY....

Ok I don't like... LOVE him or anything. ガーン

But he was always my キラキラ

my cute guy list from senior year. キラキラ

So it was sooo not cool for me.... ダウン

So in the end, I ran from the subway 'cause I had enough にひひ

PLUS i really didn't want to wait there...

'cause I don't even know if anyone I knew was going to show up! プンプン

ANYWAYS.

I'm just gonna go on ahead and "chill" ガーン

I have a TOK presentation to work on... プンプン

Hopefully I won't have to present on Thursday...

but I need to work on it in case my luck goes downhill しょぼん

peace out

Anyways. I've still got tomorrow to revise and tuesday morning before the exam ニコニコ

So I'm just trying to think right now about whether I should actually do something about my TOK presentation. yet I have no idea where to start, and I've really lost the idea of the point of tok....

Right now I just want to visit all these different places, swim and tan. Cancun is at the top of my list and maybe I'll go after graduation or something.....if my parents let me. チョキ

SPEAKING OF POST GRADUATION

Gramps was talking about going on a boat trip after graduation!! We don't know where yet, but I'm super hyped up about it!!

It's gonna be so awesome. The whole family will be going so it'll be cool. Hopefully by then I'd have my ideal body weight so I'll look better in a bikini ニコニコ

Speaking of bikinis and body weight, I've just got myself on track again. I'm eating minimal—or rather—healthily. I've stopped all that binging and I'm eating at a healthy amount. チョキ

MOST IMPORTANTLY, I've really picked up the gym workouts and have been going every Friday. I'm hoping to build up to at least 2 days a week, but I'll have to work out the schedule DASH!

since there's the thing about workload and that shit.... シラー

I'm constantly drinking tea, since water is really too bland for me right now. Plus I'm drinking herb tea so I don't think there is must caffeine アップ

Reasons to drink liquids 1) hydrate the body of course bu also 2) so i feel less hungry and less frequently.

I've realized that sometimes that feeling of hunger can really just be due to dehydration. So keeping yourself hydrated will keep you from eating as much!

I'm on The Eatery on my iPod...but I just hate the fact that the only way to add friends is through Facebook....

Hopefully they'll change it up after a while and put in a username function just so I can follow other people.

I mean if they get celebrities on,

WOAHHH

that'll be a selling point for them plus to people around the world. I mean, we wanna know what makes some of the celebrities so fit right

Anyways I should get back to revision. and I should do a song of the day.... or post (since I don't post every single day.... べーっだ！

SONG OF THE DAY Carrie Underwood - Do You Think About Me

peace out
