Randomm

It's been forever, I know, but I just don't really have the time anymore for anything. But I just finished my AP History Exam and we're just supposed to do whatever on the internet, and blogspot is the only thing that's not blocked. Which is surprising actually because it was blocked last year... Anyway, uhh high school! Almost everyone who's talking to my mom asks her "And how is Monica finding high school?" And the answer to that is yes....Monica loves it. Probably my top three favorite things about this year are that the student store sells vanilla frappuchinos so I'm actually awake during first period, we get to eat outside during lunch(which is proably gonna be something I hate when it gets colder) and that there are so many new people. Despite all the new people though, I'm not really making that new friends. Everyone's kinda sticking in their old groups. I dont really care, to be honest, I love my friends. So...I'm running out of things. The girl next to me finished her exam too and she's playing tic tac toe with herself, which has got to be boring. But she's wearing a KILLER outfit. Its mostly the shoes. Have you ever seen shoes that you feel are just made for your feet? Well kinda like that, except her heels are probably like 75 bucks. Everything is so expensive now, I feel guilty for buying pizza! Kay, I'm actually gonna play tic tac toe with her now. (How do you spell that anyway?)

THE PRINCESS OF THE WORLD

No I did not pick that title. My friend Summer did. She's conceited like that...and she'll probably kill me for saying that. Anyway so I promised her I'd blog about her. I met Summer properly when I was in sixth class and we went on this trip and right away I realized that she was one of those people who was good weird. We get into tons of these stupid arguements over things that neither of us really care about but its still fun. Seriously though, Summer and me agree on NOTHING. She's also one of those crazy smart people. And her dog is ADORABLE. She's also that one friend who everyone has who eats like a hog but looks like a log. Actually that makes no sense. She's a stick not a log. But hog and log rhymes so...And just you watch, she's gonna kill me for using her blogpost to talk bout hogs. She'll be like "monica you are so RANDOM!!!!!" Which brings me to this, Summer is pretty random too. Like one day she comes up to me and she's like "If you ask someone what the time is, they'll laugh." See? But it's okay, cuz I still love her despite her flaws.(She's gonna kill me for that one too.) And I miss not being able to see her everyday. This good enough for you Summer? Now you have to blog about me. And it better be nice:)

Time Travel

So my friend Aaron likes to read this comic strip that comes in the newspaper on Sundays about this chicken that goes back in time and gets stuck and this goat always helps him. It's pretty dumb but then again so are most comics. Anyway, almost every monday he tells me what happened and time travel is sort of stuck in my head right now.And I was reading this person's facebook status that had some nonsense about where we'll be in twenty year so I figured I'd blog about it. Where would you go if you could time travel? Not to anything historic or important to the whole world. Everything is recreated so beautifully, its kinda stupid, especially because you know exactly how it's all going to turn out. I think it would be cooler to go back into time into your own past, like when your mother was a kid or your parents got married. And if that wasnt allowed or something, rather than going back to see the events, I think I'd wanna go back to meet important people somehow. Like to the premiere party of my favorite old movie so i could meet all the people in it.

Crepes

Today was an awesome day. Today a huge group of my friends went down to Redmond Town Center and ate crepes at my friend Bruno's dad's creperie. And it was really REALLY fun! The weather was super nice, the sun was shining unlike most days out here in Seattle. And nutella crepes-YUM!! Anyway, it was an amazing time, and I'm still kinda floating so I figured I'd mention that:P

Tgged by SummerFall

1. If you could have any superhero power what would it be? Umm I guess I would want to have persuasive powers like in Percy Jackson so that I could persuade people to do what is best for them, and also what is best for me sometimes. 2. If you could wear two thing for the rest of your life what would they be? That's easy! Yoga pants anyday- theyre comfortable, go with everything and make your butt look great. And an offshoulder sweatshirt because you can spice it up with different cemis and its super comfy. 3. What's your hidden talent? I'm grat at repairing friendships. I work at it so that people are friends again with realizing that that I was pushing them the whole time. 4. Do you like dressing up? If so, what is one thing that you love to wear? That's easy I have this white dress with lilac flowers that I LOVE. Without fail, that dress makes me feel like a princess. 5. Pool party or tea party? POOL PARTY. Is that really a question? You can tan, you can swim, you drink lemonade, you eat fruit salad, pool parties rock! 6. What do you detest doing? I think that most of all I hate running uphill. Running is fun but uphill? Yuck. I HATE running uphill so much but it builds up your legs and all so I guess its one of those things you just have to deal with. 7.Do you have a celebrity obsession? Not really, I dont really get obsessed so much. I mean recently I kinda went crazy over Maroon 5 and which girl doesnt love One D and Bollywood stars are always my favorite thing. 8. Which TV show character or book character can you relate to? Thats kinda hard. Umm I think I relate books wise to this kid in these cartoons I used to read when I was a kid named Ramu. 9. What is your dream place to retire? That's easy!!!India! I want to retire in a city called Dehli with my family around me. 10. Do you believe in afterlife? Hello, you're talking to a Hindu. Screw YOLO. For me its YOLST (You Only Live Seven Times) 11. What is your biggest wish? As of now my biggest wish is that three years from now, I'll be living in India studying law at NLU university.

Kennedy

Ok there are only 3 more people that I promised I would write about so I'm just going to do it in a stretch. Let's see, Kennedy. You know how there's always that one person who absolutely everybody loves, and you really can't figure out why? Well that's Kenn. She's like a cuddly bear, excpet she's a twig which is annoying because she eats SO MUCH. Actually, she's more of a twig with muscles. Umm let's see, she's the kind of person who freaks out when she doesnt have time to put on make-up before school, but you really can't tell the difference. She's the kind of person who doesn't talk much, but if she's not there, you can tell. She's also extremely bipolar in general. She hates dressing up, her make-up bag is four times the size of mine and she spends about an hour on her hair everyday. She is super messy, but she has OCD when it comes to other people. Sports are basically her life, yet she hates getting sweaty or dirty. She's also one of my best friends. There's always that one person who you can text at 2 AM and not worry about waking up because you know they're there for you. That's Kenn:)

Parents

Sometimes I feel like parents jsut really enjoy nagging about EVERY DARN THING. This was my weekend- 1. woke up in morning- dad nagged me for not watching educational tv 2. dad and mom nagged me for texting too much 3. dad and mom nagged me for not loving autobiographies and history textbooks 4. mom and dad nagged me for not focusing enough on studies (other times they nag me for focusing too much and staying up till like 12) 5. my sister's piano recital-mom and dad nagged me for not enjoying the music more 6. at dinner at someone's house-mom nagged me for not loving playing with little kids dad nagged me dor not socializing more 7. today morning-mom nags me for not doing anything constructive and totally wasting my life 8. mom nags me for one towel on the floor 9. mom nags me for not having "maternal love" for my little sister 10. mom nags me for watching TV 11. dad nags me for not studying more Note- this was all in ONE weekend Note- if you respond- nagged for talking back if you don't- nagged for not talking Note-always met with same response"one day you'll thank me" SHEESH

Boy Bands

Has anyone noticed that boy bands are back in style? Umm let's see there's One Direction (obviously), who in my opinion got famous just because theyre all really hot. There's The Wanted, who's music is actually pretty good. Marroon 5 (do they count?). This world is completely going backwards. It's hilarious. We do stuff, then we do new things, then we go back and do the same od things again. Like with headphones. First we had headphones. Then we moved on to earphones which is a thousand times more convenient. And now we're at Beats, which is basically just headphones all over again. Or with music and movies. People dont really make new stuff anymore. Almost every song you hear is actually a remake of an old one (Ex.- We got the Beat- Debby Ryan) And movies? In Seattle, Regal Theater is currently playing reruns of Beauty and the Beast, Titanic and bout a gazillion other movies. Even the new movies are remakes of old ones, like Mirror Mirror. I'm not saying its a bad thing. It's just one of those things that make you wonder. Maybe they'll be making remakes of Hunger Games when our kids are watching tv.

Cece

Okay I promise this is my last people post. I jsut have to finsih the people I promised. Ummm Cece. I remember the first time we met, the day after winter break ended when we decided to the superarket and eat samples. That was a fun day:) She's basically the sweetest person I know, she always has a compliment for basically everyone. I'm sad we have no classes together, but that's k cuz we text alot and stuff. I love making elaborate plans on how we're gonna break up her crush and his girlfriend so the two of them can get together. She's so funny and we have thousands of inside jokes. I love how dedicated she is and how she dreams so big. I can never do that. I love listening to her talk about how she's gonna get to L.A and become all the things she wants to be. I know all that will happen one day, and I'll be telling people I knew her when. Love you to the moon and back Cece, and that's how far she's gonna go. I know it.

Brooke

I'm not gonna lie, I hate writing about people on my blog but ever since my friends have found out bout it theyre basically forcing me. Uhhh Brooke. Brooke is one of my favorite people on this planet. I love her to the moon and back. I love how excited she gets about everything she does, especially cheerleading and soccer. I love how she never lets me be sad, how she understaznds how when you're new there's a ton you dont know and she exlains it to me, how she has this gigantic smile that basically eats up her whole face, how she does my hair and nails, and how she just gets me more than anyone ever has. Umm what else? I'm gonna go crazy spending two months away from her over summer when I can barely get through a week. But that's okay because we'll figure out how to listen to Justin Bieber together and do our super-special handshake and go crazy over pictures of Zac Effron from across the world. I love you like a love song Brooke, and I don't know what I'd do without you. And I dont know what you'd do without me either because I'm the only one who reminds you take you're ADD medicine. BFF's forever. Never change.

Exercise

So because of my injured leg I dont really have alot of ways to blow of steam anymore. Usually I'm walking or running or doing some sort of activity for atleast a couple of hours a day. So these are my new ideas- 1. sit ups- I do 100 before sleeping. They suck. 2. some kind of yoga that doesnt involve my right leg 3. punching my pillow So as you can see, I'm at a dead end. I need some kind of exercise or I'm gonna seriosuly freak out. Oh hey I just thought of something. Weight-lifting? But it stunts growth....I'm not sure

Split personality

So the other day my friend(let's call him A, cuz of internet security and his name starts with that)and I were talking and he told me that he feels like a banana. Yellow on the outside(cuz he's asian) and white on the inside(he's lived in seattle all his life). And then he asked me if I'm a cocunut(like brown on the outside and white on the outside) or jsut brown on both ends. Yeah, the whole fruit analogy is kinda strange, A is just weird that way. Anyway what A told me kinda got me thinking. The only thing I ever wanted to be an average Indian girl. Unlike most of my friends back home, I was never obsessed with American music and American brand names and living in America. I knew I was where I was meant to be. And even though alot of my friends here think that my parent's values are kinda traditional, the thing is they're not just my parents values, they are also mine. So unlike A, I'm pretty much brown on the inside and brown on the outside. However, living in Seattle, going to a regular(all white basically) high school, it doesnt really work that way. Despite the fact that all I still want to be is an average Indian girl, it's not really gonna happen in average America. I guess life doesn't really work that way.

K.K

K.K, who's initials are K and K which is kinda obvious is one of my best friends and she's going through a tough time right now so this blog post is one of the few things my friends and I decided to do to cheer her up. K is not only one of my best friends, she also inspires me to be a better person just because of how great she is. K always has a smile for everybody, everyobdy loves her. She's one of the most popular people in the whole school but she always has time for other people. K, we know that stuff is happening right now. But we want you to know that no matter what, we are always there for you. I have only known you six months but you are already one of my favourite people on this planet.You always make me smile and you helped me through my own tough times. You'll get through this! We have faith in you<33

Drama

So basically there's alot of stuff going on in my life right now. There's a ton of school things. My physcial therapist said that my body is forgetting it has a foot and I have therapy three times a week. But what really is happening is what happening between my friends.
So though I like alot of people, my best friends are about seven. I have atleast one of them in every one of my classes and we eat lunch together. But now, things are kinda breaking apart and people just arent talking about it.
That made me think of how the biggest misunderstandings are just because people dont talk.
So if your group of friends is having their own drama right now then just remember to talk.

Justin Bieber

So today I was babysitting my neighbours and the older one put on Boyfriend by Justin Bieber because she wanted to show me this dance that she'd made for it(because of course fourth graders listen to bieber these days)and I made the usual face that I make when someone talks about the biebs.
And then I realized something.
It was good. It was actually good. Not like amazing, but it was good enough that I could actually listen to it alot and not really have that much of a problem. I mean yeah he started out pretty terrible with his high-pitched promises to buy "any ring" or claim that he can't "live without his first love" and all that nonsense but his voice is better now and his songs are actually pretty catchy.
Anyway what I learnt from this shocking experience was that if we actually admit to how things are changing, we can experience all kinds of new awesome. Or in this case more of all kinds of mediocre, but whatever. You take what you can get.
So basically I guess what I'm trying to say is that have an open mind. And with that sprit I tried to listening to One Direction, Rebecca Black and the Jonas Brothers and I realized something else. An open mind can only go so far:P

Destiny

So I was at the mall last Friday and my friend had a mini-spazz attack in Forever 21 over these adorable yellow shorts. And she was going on about how great they were and then she said "it was meant to be." Which is kinda stupid cause they were just a pair of shorts but it got me thinking about destiny and things meant to be and if that's real or if it's just something people say to make themselves believe that nothing is really their fault.
Like when you fail a test and you tell yourself "it's ok, it was meant to happen". Or when you win something, but then you never want to think that something bigger deserves credit for that. I mean you put in all that effort so how can somebody say that it's all in the bigger plan and all your hard work was really just a waste?
I guess destiny decides where we're going to end up but we decide how we're going to get there.
I just realized that that's actually really deep. Isn't it weird how one moment you're thinking bout yellow denim shorts and another moment you're analyzing something as big as destiny?

Rumours

I was just talking to a friend of mine who apparently knows aLOT about my life that I certainly never told her. And you know the crazy part? Most of it ain't even true!
I HATE rumours. Sure they add drama and seem harmless but drama comes at a price and that price is the truth. Because these rumours are usually not true. And if they are, then they're certainly not anybody else's business.
You know something that I really hate? That the people farthest from me, the people who know absolutely nothing about my life right now are the people who seem to take the most interest in discussing it.
If you're the one than you know who you are and I have one word for you.
STOP.

More All About Me

These lists are fun to do and no-one reads this stupid blog anyway so why not-
1. I hate Peeta Mellark. I'm a HUGE Gale fan.
2. I over-read into almost every situation.
3. I hate how putting a slutty picture on facebook is cancelled out with some meaningful quote that it totally unrelated
4. I think it's sweet when people say please. Nobody says please anymore.
5. I'm NOT a Harry Potter fan, contrary to what everyone thinks, atleast not now. I used to be, but I was re-reading one of them a few days ago and I could barely get through it. Its wonderful in it's own place but it's over now.
6. I don't like the sound of violins. Maybe because I've never heard one played properly but it kinda sounds like a wailing baby to me.
7. My first language is not english.
8. I hate it when people don't look at the real world like they're stuck in some bubble or something.
9. I love this really sweet old lady who I almost always see if I run in the afternoon and she always tells me "to run from the obese american".
10. Libraries kinda spook me out, it's hard being in all that quietness for so long. Once my friend called and I started talking to her and almost at once atleast nine people turned and gave me judgemental stares.
11. I hate chords. I love notes. If I could, I would just play notes on my guitar all the time and forget about chords forever.
12. I dont like fanfiction. In fact, I hate fanfiction. I dont understand how anyone can get SO wrapped up in a book that they can actually go bother reading more of it instead of just moving on to something.
13. My favorite english song in the world is Smile by Uncle Kracker because it makes me happy. And Call me Maybe because it is so stupid it makes me laugh. Oh and Pretty Girl, cause really? Who listens to that and doesn't smile?
14. Movies>Books. I wasnt like this before but it's how I am now I guess. I have a hard time finishing any book if it's too complicated. I like chick flicks.
15. I love willow trees.

Spring Break

Spring Break. This is exactly what I need right now.
Online dictionary defines spring break as a recess lasting for about a week.
I define spring break as sleep, friends, homework, sleep, tv, facebook, sleep, food, boredom, running, sleep, books, movies, hanging out, and sleep. Oh and more sleep.
I went to Canada with my family for a weekend. It was okayish. Like it was fun, but we really didn't do much of anything and everyone basically drove me mad.
We went to Butchat gardens which is basically the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Every possible type of nature from waterfalls to willows to the sea to sunflowers was there in this one huge garden. It was gorgeous. It was also huge and super tiring with a strange tendancy to change weather every 2 minutes but that's different.
We watched alot of movies in the car and went on a few boat rides. I love the sea. I love how it's so huge and there's so much going on inside it but you can see nothing but beauty on the outside.
Today I went to the library and checked out like 30 books. I dont really read that much anymore(SO different from how I used to be) but I love these books. They're literally like Bollywood movies on paper.
Tomorrow I'm going to see the Hunger Games with a friend, day after some-one's coming over, day after that I'm hanging out with another one, Friday I'm going shopping with someone and Saturday I'm going to the mall. So it is a fun break on the social side but I'm not having week long sleepovers like so many people. Like my mom would ever let me anyway.
So thats my spring break. Its not a wild night on a beach and Its not a week spent with a textbook.
It's average.
Like me.

NHD

NHD is this big event coming up on Wednesday, and nobody is thinking about anything other than what to wear. I already have my dress! It's olive, with a silver belt, a little higher than my knees, and made of this soft, perfect material. I'm going on Saturday with one of my friends to help her find one of her own, but I doubt she'll strike gold like me. Teehee.
A couple of my friends are buying matching dresses, which I think is cute, but also a little tacky. Alot of my guy friends have suits, and I'm excited to see them wear them.
I jsut realized what a cheesy, peppy person this post makes me seem like. Well I am a cheesy and peppy person, but more than that I really am excited to see my friends all dressed up. People become something new when they're dressed up. They become more i dont know, innocent i guess. So I want to see what all my friends will become when inside they feel like princesses and knights inside.
Again, I realize now this post makes me sound all insightful and strange. I'm not really that either.
I'm ust excited about my dress:P

My favorite things about school

I know that everyone hates school but its not that bad. And to prove that I'm not abnormal I'm going to make a list that nobody can argue with.
1. Morning bud ride- I won't lie, the earliness gets to me. But I like seeing my friends in the morning and I like the ride to school because if I dont end up sitting next to someone I like, I like having the time to wake up and the ride to school really has a beautiful view. And if we get there early enough than sometimes I go for a run with one of my friends.
2. First period- LA- My LA teacher is actually amazing. We never do the same thing twice in LA in one week which is why it's so much fun. Secondly, most of my best friends are in that class and I like spending the first part of my morning with them.
3. Second- Math- I don't really like my math class but I love my math partner and most of the people who sit around me. I like having math in the morning, and I like that feeling you get when you do something right. Don't get me wrong, I dont do math for fun. These are jsut the good parts about it.
4. Third- History- History is one of my favorite classes, my teacher is awesome and I have all the same people from LA.
5.Lunch- Who doesnt love lunch?
6.Guitar- I dont really like anyone in my guitar class because its mostly seventh graders but I really love playing the guitar. It relaxes me, and I especially love to sing while playing.
7.Science- I like learning new things, some of my best friends are in the class, and the day is also almsot over:P
8.French- I LOVE French! Everybody does! It is everyones favorite class because the teacher is AMAZING.
9. Willy Wonka Practise- Sometimes I have practise. I'm the house manager for the play which means that I paint things, work on marketting and figure out how to work the magic like make someone fly or someone explode. Not only do I love almost everyone in the play, I also like the actual job. Its fun to look at what we can do, painting big things relax me, and I love marketting.
10. Other days I go home on my bus- Which I have already explained.
I just realized how cheesy this post makes me sound and I just want to say that you are completely right, I am cheesy.

Quote for the day

Popular does not mean stuck-up. Goth does not mean planning murders. Smart does not mean no dreams beyond Princeton. Beautiful does not mean shallow. Ugly does not mean insightful.
Image is image in it's own place. But reality is reality in every place.
Don't judge.

Bruno Mars

This post is not actually about Bruno Mars. This post is about one of my best friends and because of the dangers of the internet and because when I first met him he told me that Bruno was his name, that's what I'm calling him.
His name is not Bruno btw.
Anyway Bruno, this post is for you because you asked (forced) me to, and well it is your birthday and I got you nothing other than a homemade card (full of love though)
Only Im not really sure what to write here...
Let's see- best memories with Bruno-
1. when you threw a lollipop into my hair
2. when you let me wear your football jersey because i was cold. which just happens to be one of the nicest (actually the only nice) thing that you've ever done to me
3. when we made pancakes
4. when you broke into my locker (this is not a happy memory. the only happy thing is that it wasnt some book stealer or some cellphone snatcher or whatever)
5. when you carried me out of the lunchroom. because i jsut LOVE being tossed around like a football. for future reference, save those stunts for the actual footballs.
So anyway this is for you because you are one of my best friends and you will probably not read it because you hate to read anyway.
Happy Birthday Bruno!:) <3

I do have a point to all this, other than showing how stressful my life is. The thing is, teenager's are busy. You have to be good. But more than good, you have to be great. You have to be great at thing to get into a good college and have a successful life. You want friends, you want sleep,you want good grades but you always the zazaam that they make movies about. That running on the beach or sitting on a car or whatever moments they show.
Life is hard, so I want to say this.
You dont need zazaam, sweetie.
This IS the zazaam.:)
This, being young, being free, and having all your life ahead of you.
Thats not a moment, it's a whole movie.
What more do you want?

Favourite quotes

"What doesnt kill you makes you stronger
I love this quote. So much. It gets me through hard stuff like piano concerts or awkward lunches or those awful phases when you feel like a failure.
Jo hona hai wona hai toh kis baat pe rona hai
This means- what will happen will happen so whats the point of crying. I like this quote because it's from a really funny scene in a movie, but also because it makes sense. I believe in destiny and all so I dont have that much control. I believe that you decide the choices but God decides where you'll end up and you;re gonna end up there anyway, so why cry?
I wish today it would rain all day. Maybe that would kinda make the pain go away.
Nicki Manaj who I really dont listen to, but I love this song and I love that quote. Dont you ever cry in the shower sometimes?

Paint

The smell of paint is killing me. I'm doing crew work for a play at school and today I painted about five props. It took about three hours.
I had a blast tbough. My best friend was with me, someone brought popcorn, there was music playing. It was super fun. But the paint fumes really are killing me.

Stuck

Stuck
Stuck in a rut or a hole
Caught
Caught in a net or a pole

Lost
In a tunnel or a maze
Left
Behind in this fast pace

And sooner or later
I will catch up with the crowd
I will be free
I will fill mind my way
And I will be proud
Of my destiny
That day
