It sure is a crazy ride to be away from your family, friends and just loved ones. It’s so difficult but it makes us stronger. Why? Simply because, being apart from someone makes you realize deep inside how much you need and want them. This makes us stronger because, we become more thankful of who we have in our life. It gives us the ability to appreciate who is around us. We might be far from each other, but we will always be close enough to help one another… no matter what.
Treasure the moments you have, because you’ll never know how much you’ll miss it until it’s finally gone.

What could have been the day
Today,... could have been the actual day that I get to see... the one and only... Meryl Streep. This morning, I was too sick from excitement. I had a banana for breakfast and I don't know why but I was eating the banana quite fast. It definitely was because of the excitement. It was crazy. I was counting down the days to the 14th of October. Then the day came and I was just so hyper. I even asked my friend- 'can I jump on you' because I was so excited. She obviously said 'no'. I was at school and looking at the webcam in Leicester Sqaure on the computer. People started to arrive and I saw people standing bythe barriers. They were some Streepers that was there by 9am. I was just thinking to myself, 'Omg. Will I ever get to see anything? I'll never get a good spot.' While I was at school people begun to tweet that she's cancelled and that she's ill. Then I got really worried.
2.20pm I left the school. I met up with my crazy best friend Zahra who's also crazy about The Streep. We were so excited, we couldn't stop imagining things. We was in the bus and I was reading tweets from people saying 'she's cancelled', 'she's got swine flu'. It got a bit hectic and all me and Zahra were thinking 'what if' she comes. We got the event and started walking around and looking for a good spot. I saw some Streepers. You're bound to see them. When me and Zahra finally got a spot, we were still thinking 'what if' Meryl did come. But then we soon realized that she really wasn't coming.
It was our first A&Z red carpet event. (We're known as A&Z). But at least we got to see Peter Andre and got involved in his little hosting thing. We had to shout out 'FANTASTIC!' and we did it to the top of our lungs, we had to do it twice. So, we might just be on TV. Then he came to us and did some autographs. I couldn't beleive there was a celebrity, right there, in front of my face. I froze. A streeper said to me, 'what if it was Meryl'. I actually didn't realize I froze like that. I was suppose to get a picture with him but I was just staring at him like some psycho stalker with a weird grin on my face probably and didn't realize a man was filming us. If I get to see Meryl Streep, I would actually pass out. On the inside at least. I wouldn't know what to do. I would just be really clueless.
It was a pretty crazy night. There was a lady who had a fox costume on who almost stole Zahra's spot, I dropped my camera while waiting and did I mention I also saw George Clooney? Wish he got a bit close to us though, but oh well. We also saw other celebs such as Myleene Klass, Jonathan Ross, Jason Schwartzman, Cindy Crawford and heard Wes Anderson's voice (which was better than nothing). Unfamous people would walk on the red carpet and all we did was talk about their outfit. We saw some very short dresses and some very outragous shoes. It was a great experience for me and Zahra too. Crazy yet unforgettable. We got very bad head rushes because of the excitement.
I guess it just wasn't our time to meet La Streep just yet.

Just Blogging
Blogging? I'd never knew what it meant if I'd heard that word a few years ago. But now isn't a few years ago, now is now. You'll probably think 'what on earth is this person talking about?' Anyway, this isn't the first time I've blogged. I've already started blogging on friendster. If you don't know what that is... It's kinda like Facebook.
To be honest, I have no idea what to blog about right now. Um... I'm listening to the BBC radio right now, they're celebrating ABBA- so all the songs that's playing are obviously ABBA songs sung by different talented artist's. There's banana in a plastic bag on the top of my bottom bunk bed and It's pretty much starting to smell as It's going rotten. I know, disgusting right. But I've forgotten I had a banana in my bag. My mom just totally had a go at me by not eating it and how I'm wasting it. I really don't like wasting food but sometimes it's like... you're not in the mood to eat it, so you leave it and say you're gonna eat it the next day or later and you never do until it starts to become no good anymore.
Ahhh... Dancing Queen is on right now. I love this song, it just gives you that happy feeling. I can imagine my mom singing and dancing to this song. She would try to sing the high pitch bit and starts to choke. But then she just carries on. Anyway... I think i'm off. Gotta' wake up early tomorrow and so not looking forward to it. Goodnight. :) xox

Life is a treasure
Life is short which is why you really have to treasure it and do what ever you can to achieve your dreams.
It was a normal day for me today, I did my business which meant I had to go to school and finish my coursework. It was like a normal school day except I had been doing ICT for the whole day. Can you imagine; I had to go to School on my Easter Holiday break. Fun, fun! If you hadn’t noticed I was being sarcastic. So anyway, I got home and did some English revision which didn’t finish till about 8.45pm. I was quite proud of my self actually so I decided to award my self with a Meryl Streep movie.
I began watching ‘Lions for Lambs’ and let me tell you something, it’s not a movie that a teenager will easily understand. It’s a challenge. As I was watching it, my mum calls me from the other room (living room). I went to see what she wanted so I came. A shocking picture appears on TV, and I’m not being dramatic here… It really was shocking and wasn’t a pleasant sight. The programme was called ‘Extraordinary people’ and it’s about this family that’s got this horrible trauma or something. And it really was horrible. I don’t really know what it’s called but I can promise you, it’s not a disease that can just vanish from having surgery. They had big, medium, large sized bubble shaped things stuck to their body. It’s not just two or three of them. They were lots, like a gazillion of them. This man was basically covered in them. I haven’t watched the programme from the very beginning so I don’t really know the whole story, that’s why I can’t really be specific enough. But, what captivated me about having seen a bit of the programme and seeing those people suffer was that… it really made me think about how lucky some of us are in life. I mean, I already am thankful for what I have and come to think of it- how lucky I am to have such wonderful and loving people in my life.
I’m thankful for what I have, who I have with me and what I own. Although, I admit, that sometimes I can be an ungrateful person. No one’s perfect, so cut those people some slack if they did something wrong or they might have displeased you. You can’t expect them to be bionic woman or man. A lotta’ people have made mistakes in their life and will probably keep making mistakes. This is why you have to think twice about your choices. Other people say: ‘your heart is never wrong’. But is that entirely true? Let me ask you this… how do you know? (Feel free to leave me a message if you know the answer to my question)
After that programme (extraordinary people), I was thinking how they’d kill for a normal life, whereas other people who have what you call a ‘normal life’ just doesn’t give a damn and waste it on pointless things. You can probably think of the reasons. Do you see what I mean? I’m probably talking gibberish to some of you, but to those who get me… please pass the message across and tell the other people to be more thankful of what they freaking have.

Long time no write.
It’s been a while since I wrote a proper long blog. Not that most of you would care but to the ones who actually have spare time to read my blogs does. Anyway… Hows life? Mine? It’s going alright. Can’t really complain, I mean.. It’s life, you deal with it. You try to fix things if they are broken even though you know it’ll take time. For some you try and heal if you are hurt. And for some, you try to be happy if you’re simply sad.
It’s been a pretty busy year so far & for crying out loud it’s only March. Kinda like a roller coaster. Lots of ups & downs, & loopdy loops if you like. Exams are so stressful & don’t even get me started about project deadlines. The only thing that’s keeping me awake about School are my lovely friends. What are friends for? Seriously? I mean, if those lunetics I call friends didn’t exist, I think I’d go nuts. First of all, I’d be a loner if they didn’t exist & second, who’s gonna put up with my crap?
Gosh, there are so many things happening right now. If only we had more time to our selves… So we could think more & perhaps arrange our thoughts? (Wow, did I really just say 'arrange our thoughts'?). Maybe start making a plan or something. People say it’s never too late but you never know whats waiting for you at the next turn. I guess what I’m trying to say is, you need to get your act together- if you still haven’t. Coz that’s what I need to do.
Well, I’m gonna wrap this up quick coz I dont wanna write some long essay. So, do what you need to do. Take your time but don’t take too much time coz time can go off in a sec.

Streep.
All i have to say is that: I have never been obsessed/admired with a person so badly. She’s simply phenomenal! She is beyond words and simply one of the best. An icon.
*If you don’t know who Meryl Streep is, then.. I'm gonna need you to kindly exit my blog and don't talk to my face. After that, go on to GOOGLE and type in Meryl Streep. I'm actually doing you a favour.
