A La Seconde Turns!

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Rora @ 5:27 am

I can do (pretty bad) a la seconde turns now! I’m so happy, because they are so awesome. Unless you can do them or fouttes, or triple pirouettes then you have no idea how it feels to just be, well, turning around and around. It’s so amazing. Until you fall over.
Sadly I’m doing quite a bit more falling then turning but with practice I’ll get better. Hopefully.

Anyway I’m off to make chocolate chip cookie, though this time out a packet.

Update:

I have photos, of my cookies and are dinner. Which was me being quite strange artistically. Tomorrow we have a fancy dinner. Oh and some photos of my dad and the christmas tree. 

Actually photos aren’t working but I’ll get them up eventually! 

Merry christmas!

Btw my photos decided to go really random, but, yeah.

Twilight at Twilight

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Rora @ 7:44 am

I’m writing my review of Twiight at twilight, how fitting.

I went to see Twilight at Rhodes with Alicia, her mom and brother. 

My expectations: An ok movie, maybe not so great actors, cory lines, bad shots.

Recieved: A brilliant movie, close to the plot, better fight scenes than in the book, good actors, corny lines, brilliant shots. 

The scenery was AH-MAZING. Really beautiful, dusky colours, greenery and trees, mist and rain. 
The acting was pretty good too, just a few lines that sounded weird.
Plot kept very well to the book , and the fight scenes were much better and more visually enhanced than the ones in the book.

And I love LOVE LOVE! The actors for Alice and Jacob. So amazing, exactly how I imagined them only better because they’re real. 

Overall rating 4.5/5, I might even buy it with the MEG money I got from today.

Yay for Twilight!

Alicia’s guinea pigs are so adorabubble! And tiny, at 4 weeks they’re smaller than when I got my little squeakies. One of them peed on my shirt.  Rosie, the mega obese piggy who’s heavier than the two babies put together pooped on Alicia’s bedroom floor. Plus I made them into edible  art (sort of) with lettice leaves.

Tomorrows Christmas eve and I’m making more edible art. Hopefully I’ll get a picture. 

Oh and p, gb, rkb, c and ps. :)  

High school is coming closer everyday.

Shopping with Alicia and HSM3

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Rora @ 9:37 am

Ok so yesterday I had an awesome time shopping at Macquarie with Alicia. Without parents shopping is actually fun I’ve found. This is what I’ve got my parents, since they won’t read this. (I hope!)

Dad: made a giant collage for his work wall with photos of the family and pets and guitars, Casino Royal DVD and a photo frame with a picture because parents weirdly like that stuff.

Yesterday i got him Die Another Day but found he had it so this morning we exchanged it.

Mom: Sponge bag because she needs one for like travel and stuff and a small one that came with it, frame with photo like dad and a necklace i made.

And tonight I wrapped everything and it’s all safely stowed under my bed.

Just a note. Does anyone know how Santa can be in so many malls at once! it’s shocking! I think they must have really advanced technology in the North Pole, so they can make really good simulacra or however you spell it. 

And of course today 14 of us went to see HSM3. It was really funny. Jo and I kept talking about some very serious issues we had with the story but it was fun to watch. I’m not that into it but it was so much fun to go with friends. Plus we had BOOST smoothies (YUM!) and Sunchit had popcorn and Daniel had chocolate! YUM AGAIN!

We were loud too. But it was fun for us, if not so much the other people in the theatre. Sorry other people!

Oh and Jo’s mom was wonderful and put up with us, though she didn’t come into the movie. Thanks to her too.

Christmas Eve in 2 days! And then christmas! And then a christmas party (which will be boring, sine it’s all adults which is why it doesn’t get an exclamation mark.).

Can’t wait!

And I hope I can see everyone again soon.

Christmas is Coming

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Rora @ 9:13 am

I put up the tree today and put lotsa tasteful stuff on it. Yay! We’ve made a christmas shrine with the stockings, santa hats, christmas cards and these big red chinese thingies.

I’ve been dancing either to the Clique Girlz or christmas music. Yay! So much fun, I’ve got a few more tricks down, jumps and stuff. I can’t wait top get my new leotards and crop top for christmas in 5 days!

Right now i’m watching Eloise at Christmas Time. It’s not as good as the first one.

Tomorrow i’m going xmas shopping with Alicia, and no parents. Should be fun!

Then on Monday it’s off to see High School Musical 3 with the gang. Lots of us are going on the train, just like as if we were going to high school.  Yay!

Lalala, oh and I practiced my singing but I probably won’t stay up much for the carols in the DOMAIN.

Anywayz Louisa showed me the Charlie the Unicorn videos with the Bana King and Candy Mountain. Funny!

Yay for christmas!

Goodbye Beecroft

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Rora @ 7:01 am

Sad day. Writing brief. Just so sad. High school. Scary. Exciting. Weird. nerve wracking.

Viva la Vida. Listening now. More memories. I’m Yours. Slide show.

Song. Touch the Sky. Mrs Keating conducting. Tori on piano. Boys on high notes. Kinda sad :P

Anyway, it’s sad to leave everyone behind. i cried a bit, especially when I hugged mrs L at the end.

Cya Jo, Amy, Linda and maybe Izzy next year at Hornsby.

For everyone else as Patrick put it “We’ll have twelve reunions every year.”

And just because, Jake once owned a pet monkey, Chloe thinks jumping out of a plane without a parchute is fun and Vincent can’t make a convincing lie.

Thanks for the horns Izzy they’re adorabubble (as the bestest teacher ever always says) and mine haven’t broken yet.

Oh and for the record I’m 13 in less than two months! And if the pool was done i’d have a pool party. Only I bet it won’t be, stupid council.

Leaving, might be a beginning but it sucks.

On the bright side Louisa and Betty have gmail (and horns) so now we can stay in touch.

Farewell and Coffs Harbour

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Rora @ 10:46 am

I guess this will end up being a pretty long post since I have photos and stuff to put in that I hope everyone will appreciate. 

So, the farewell. Oh my god. 
 Everyone went to my house after school to get ready and it was awesome! We did handstands and a few people showered. Then I helped Jo with her costume, she wore some leggings I made in Yr 3 too help with the evil fairy thing. She looked great. 
We all got dressed and the costumes were all really good. Linda came, as Puss in Boots also looking great until Chloe got to her with the orange facepaint. Luckily it came off! Now for a list of everyone and what they were so fashionably wearing. :P

Betty: As Wendy, a pretty turquoise dress.

Amy: Minnie Mouse, cue white dress with black spots and some pretty awesome shoes. Her characters with a lot of pink tissue paper and sticky tape!

Isobel: Cinderella in  rags, white and brown rags, classic yet original.

Chloe: A Knight, thins rented thing, chain mail which was apparently quite itchy and a sword.

Linda: Puss in Boots, boots (duh!) with fur around the edges, sword, cool hat with feather.

Jo: Vidia some evil fairy, purple top and skirt with black leggings cut raggedly from knee to ankle in like rags kinda. 

Sharon: Edna, Black pinnafore and pants and a badge that said Edna that Izzy made.

Me: Aurora/Sleeping Beauty, Pink dress that mom made, I’ll get a photo when i can. I had my grandmas camio pin too and my hair out.

So after we got dressed we did hair! I volumised Shaz’s and Jo’s and did Betty’s as well. Tried Linda’s but it turned out pretty bad so she ended up doing it really. 

Then suddenly we didn’t have much time and I was hurrying to do everyone’s makeup because for some reason, i ended up doing it all. Oh well, everyone looked good anyway, though mostly i just put mascara on people. When I’d done everyone, they wanted to leave but i hadn’t one my hair and makeup yet. luckily Shaz and Izzy kept everyone from dashing up the street, they were that excited. In the rush I forgot my rose but mom, thank goodness, rushed back for it and we all ran up the street. 

We got there in plenty of time so we needn’t have worried. Everyone had put much more effort into their costumes than I thought. It was so colourful! And there were quite a few people who had the same costume. I have to give highly commended costumes to Rose (amazing Edna costume) and Aisha (beautiful Tinkerbell costume, even if she kept dragging balloons as she danced because they got stuck to her wings.) There were so many great costumes tah I’d be here for much longer than I should be describing them.

In the end it was a bit of an anti-climax after all the build up the farewell got. The first partner dance we did, saw me, Betty and Chloe without partners so we did our own awesome, rock n roll circle! Turns out the boys were on the other side doing their own demented version. The food was gross, since it was hotdogs. Believe me you do not want to try a vegetarian hotdog. They look like rubber and I can bet you a million dollars they taste like rubber too! 

Oh well, the decorations were still amazing and it was fun just being with my friends. However by the end of the night I had a headache, so I made a pretty quick exit when it was time to go.

Oh and a not on the teachers costumes. Mr S was Mickey Mouse, so he went with Amy (and quite a few other girls.) The three female teachers were cards from Alice in Wonderland.

Kate (Izzy’s mom) took photos with Wing and they were Mickey and Minnie too. Popular costumes! Peter Pan was also very popular but only Betty was Wendy so I guess they had a lot of fighting to do as she looked so pretty!

So yeah, the farewell. And now it’s sunk in. THIS IS OUR LAST WEEK OF PRIMARY SCHOOL! Ooh and we get our signature bears and yearbook!

Now about Coffs Harbour.

I’m getting tired so I’ll just upload a lot of photos and that will be that.

Resort Photos:

Pet Porpoise Pool:

I was kissed by a seal but dad got a headless photo, I have a professional one though. Was kissed by a dolphin too and saw a dolphin and seal show. So cute! Then we got to pet the dolphins and feed turtles and seals. Oh and if you’ve ever wondered what the other side of a peacock looks like…

Yeah so it was fun!

G2g Bed. School tomorrow!

Woah

Filed under: Uncategorized — by Rora @ 9:20 am

So suddenly you wake up and there’s only two weeks left of primary school!

I have lots of news, too much really. Instead I’ll make a list of things that have happened since whenever.

  • Presentation Day today
  • Ballet Exam
  • Concert on Sunday
  • Loads of ballet practice
  • Bargelloing
  • Making my Farewell dress
  • High school Orientation Day
  • Pedlars Parade

Just quickly on Pedlars Parade. I made awesome bag charmy things that sold out really fast except my last two. Funfun! My buddy had her haircut too, which I saw that day. She’s so cute! Izzy’s badges went really fast, only for ten cents! She could’ve sold them for 40 and people would have bought them just as fast. 

My farewell dress will be beautiful, I think. the theme is Disney and I’m going as guess who! Me! Sleeping Beauty; Aurora. I hope it’s done soon! All the girls are coming to my house before hand to get ready and do makeup. Most likely we’ll end up tying a few of them down to do their makeup and hair!

My M College concert is on Sunday! Should be loads of fun! Though we get there at 12, have ten minutes almost immediately to rehearse and then the concert doesn’t start until 6! I got a good ballet report from M College too.

Anyways can’t wait to see Twilight! Yay! 

And yay also for the new wordpress look! it’s pretty cool!
