Stop! Listen to the Music

Hey Guys!

Today was a almost a whole day teaching my grandmother english, playing online stop and listening to music. Well, with today, i can conclude that:
1) My grandmother is a fast learner
2) The people who play online stop cheat a lot i mean, how do 8th graders know all the names of Brazil's Presidents (you have to have a school account to play this one?!
3) I need to upload more songs onto my ipod.

At the end of today, i am left with a 7 paged word document with extremely simple english; 4 lists from a to z of brazils presidents, collective nouns, body bones, countries and capitals and elements of the periodic table (if other kids cheat, why cant i?); and a head full of songs. hows that for relaxing holidays?

Apart from that i have some suggestions for songs, btw, they arent all very recent, but the old songs are the best.

from soundtracks:
tomorrow never comes (the rocker)
someone to fall back on (bandslam)

pop:
party in the USA (miley cyrus)
three (britney spears)

rock:
ignorance and another day (paramore)
remember december (demi lovato)

old songs:
anything from queen
anything from paramore
anything from phil collins
black or white (mj)
(cant think of any others)
Oh! i forgot!
Afterlife (avenged sevenfold)
This reminds me that just recently, Avenged Sevenfold Drummer, Jimmy "the rev" Sullivan died (RIP). I thought it would be nice if you could all hear some of avenged sevenfold's songs, including afterlife. I promise.. they rock!

Well, thats enough of me,
good night peeps,

Stuck at Home And Unhealthy Diets

Hey Guys!

You know what i just figured?? nowadays, kids who are stuck at home (such as me) spend more time facing a screen than not facing a screen. Like my typical day at home is like:
wake up at 11:00
have lunch
watch tv while having lunch
go onto the computer
play wii
think about taking my dog out for a walk an then deciding to play ds
play piano
play ping pong
listen to my ipod while reading
more computer
dinner
more tv
more computer
bed/sleep.

I think i made my point.. heehee.
Like all my friends are also addicted to vid games and computers.. like what happened to going out for a walk, or drawing, or reading, or going to the park and play some ball, etc?? Either we are getting lazier or technology is starting to take control of us....*eek*! thats a freaky thought!!

Another thing which annoys me a lot is the present diet. like, people start to blame mc donalds for making unhealthy food, but have you ever thought that youre the one choosing to eat there?! When youre complaining about the unhealthy snacks, why dont u order a salad instead of a big mac?! See my point?!? then people diet because of their diet.. althought dieting does work, its not particularly healthy. like totally cut the extra fat but dont cut the veggies or the meat!!! i mean, puh-lease!!! Have you tried BURNING the calories instead of dieting to AVOID them? sports are super healthy and will totally help you burn calories. sports will also help you socialize better and avoid screens (hmm.. my two points are now starting to join.. hmm)!!!

I guess i thought i needed to share this with ppl...

Oh! and bout my day today... I WAS NOT STUCK AT HOME!!! *yay* I actually went to play tennis and it was my dads bday!!! unfortunately i spent most of my day playing wii w. my cousin and my brother and we finally ended the game rock band (btw, ppl who are thinking bout buying rock band or guitar hero, go for gh!!! the songs are better and the notes are better... sorry rb, but ur not that good).

Gotta go,
bye peeps,

House Of Night Series

Hey Guys!
Recently I have been tired of reading the same books: Harry Potter, Eragon, The Golden Compass, Inkheart, etc. Luckily i found this series, which totally owns twilight.

At first when i read the blurb of the first book, Marked, i thought that it was going to be exactly like twilight and all those other vampire cheesy books, but this is NOTHING like that! The House Of Night Series is catchy, intriguing, sexy, new and hip. In other words.. TOTALLY AWESOME! Its about this girl Zoey Montgomery, who just wants to fit in. Her mother re married a man called John Heffer and ever since she has changed completely. The only person Zoey trusts is her Grandmother, Sylvia Redbird. One day at school, a tracker vampyre marks Zoey. She then goes to the only vampyre school in that area: The House Of Night. She gets to start a new life with a new name, new school and new habbts. There, she makes new friends but unfortunately, her wish of being normal is not happening. Zoey is the only third former fledging who has a filled in mark. She is already loathed by the most popular group: The Dark Daughters. How will she manage to fit in?

The series already has 6 published books. Hope you guys like it, I totally loved it!!! This is the website of the books if you are interested: http://www.houseofnightseries.com/

So thats all.. til the next time,

Me: Lissa (a.k.a. Xinezah)


Hey Guys!

I'm not a particularly good writer, but i guess that writing blogs isn't something that requires an enormous amount of talent and its meant to be something enjoyable. =P
Another thing you should know about me is that i constantly say im going to write in my journal, diary, blog everyday. well guess what?!?! i end up not writing everyday so... sorry peeps.

I think that writing this blog will be great cuz i can finally take some weight off my shoulders. Also, its gonna be a much more productive way of spending my holidays.. heheehhe

well... i kinda gotta sleep so...
good night peeps,
