DAY FIFTEEN

DAY FIFTEEN: list 10 things that make you awesome.

Yay! A list! If you know me then you would know how much I love writing lists. I've been looking forward to this one! So without further ado, here are 10 things that make me awesome. 

(I'm not trying to be all gloaty and "oh I'm so cool blah blah blah" so please don't hate me!)

1. I live in New Zealand. New Zealand is an amazing place, full of wonderful people, places and wildlife. I think living here has contributed to my awesome factor, as it is a pretty darn awesome place to be.
2. I can sing! That sounded a bit self centred, I didn't mean it to be! When I say that I can sing, I don't mean like super good. I mean as in I'm in a choir, I do singing lessons and I've had a few solos for things over the years (only really last year...). Singing is a huge passion of mine, and I love it more than anything.
3. I do Badminton. Badminton is such a fun sport. I only started last week, and already I've improved a lot. I am still utterly terrible, but I'm getting there. My friends managed to rope me into it, as some of them already had gone there last year. 
4. I fully accept that I am a very socially awkward person. If you are someone who knows me, then you will know very well that if you sit with me, I will freak out and end up sitting in an awkward silence. (if you're someone I do this to, I am very sorry!) But I also accept this fact, which I think is a good thing. I know damn well that I am incredibly awkward, so don't try to remind me :P
5. My favourite animal is a turtle. You may have thought that, since my username is girlofthefox and my nickname is FoxFace (not the Hunger Games character), that foxes are my favourite animal. You have thought wrong. Turtles are, in fact, what I believe to be the coolest animal in the world. This makes me awesome because turtles are awesome. Enough said. 
6. ughhhhhhh I can't think of anything else...
7. Yeah my mind has gone blank (space baby, and I'll write ya name)
8. Can you think of anything?
9. I can't...
10. Well, that was short lived.

Yeah... my mind has decided to take a holiday somewhere nice in the Bahamas, so I've been abandoned here on my own :(

I'll just leave it at that for now xx

DAY FOURTEEN

DAY FOURTEEN: What's on your iPod?

I don't have an iPod.

DAY THIRTEEN (one of my lucky numbers!)

DAY THIRTEEN: do you have regrets?

Side note: yes, I know, I know. I'm posting like a week late. I've been busy!

Anyway...

To put it simply, no, I don't have regrets. Sure, there are moments when I look back and think: "wow, that was stupid! I wish I hadn't done that..." etc. But in the big picture, I think it's silly to ensnare yourself in something as silly as regret.

(Here comes the big philosophical thing...)

I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Even the most terrible things will one day have a positive side. For example, when my dad had to move away so that he could get a job. At first, I was devastated. I still am sometimes! But throughout these past few years my dad and I have really become closer. Now every time we spend time together, it's more special than before.

If everything happens for a reason, then there is no point in wishing you could change the past. And I know that sometimes regret can be a horrible feeling, and it's not just regret either. Wanting to just build a time machine and go back in time is something that I think everyone has longed for at one point or another. But like I said, if it all happens for a reason, even the most horrendous things in life will one day lift you up.

*throws confetti and glitter at you*

DAY TWELVE (I really need to think of more original titles...)

DAY TWELVE: something I miss

I miss old Disney Channel. Enough said.

DAY ELEVEN

DAY ELEVEN: last book I read

The last book I read was Snowfall by K.M Peyton. I loved this book for so many reasons. In fact, I might just make a list.

Reasons I loved Snowfall by K.M Peyton:

1. It was set in Victorian England. I love seeing what life was like in the past, and having a book set in the Victorian time was awesome to read.
2. It was written in an amazingly old fashioned yet modern way. Did that make sense? Probably not... what I mean is that, even though the book was set back in Victorian times and was written very much in that manner, it was understandable and used a lot of more common vocabulary.
3. Time passed quickly. In one part of the book, it talked about what happened over 10 days in less than a paragraph. A lot of books focus on a relatively short time period, whereas this book focus on events spread out over a year or two. 
4. One of the main focuses in the book was mountain climbing and the Swiss Alps. It was amazing hearing the story of the characters climbing the mountains, and exploring. The main character (Charlotte), described how free it felt to be up in the mountain air and how she could just forget all her troubles while climbing. It was amazing to read.
5. It had a great ending. I won't say anything about what actually happened (no spoilers!), but what I will say, is that it ended in a very satisfactory way. And I loved it very much. Hehe!

So, as you could probably tell, I loved this book a lot. I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a good book to read! Feel free to comment any good book suggestions, and I will check them out ;)

Hope you are having a good day, wherever you are!

DAY TEN

DAY TEN: my daily routine

Okay, this one isn't that interesting. As I go to school, it's pretty much just me getting ready for that. So here we go!

6:00 - Alarm goes off, I hide under my pillow hoping that it will go away. It doesn't.
6:03 - I usually remember something that I'm looking forward to that day, which perks me up.
6:04 - I realise that I need to get into the shower, so I grab my stuff and drag myself up the stairs.
6:26 - Freak out realising that I need to be out of the bathroom by half past, while trying to dry my hair (it's hard, okay?)
6:30 - Spend the next 20 minutes telling myself that I'll be done by 6:45/attempting to do my hair/getting distracted.
6:50 - Remember that I still need to unload the dishwasher...
7:15 - Get dressed/pack my bag/cook toast all at once (usually ending up with cold toast, or none at all)
7:30 - Realise there is a crap ton of stuff that I haven't done yet...
7:42 - Go and wait out at my gate for the school bus.

Aaaaaand there you have it! My (rather boring) daily routine. Most days I end up being late, which is just fantastic. 

I'm not feeling that well at the moment, so I'm consoling myself by texting and eating chocolate. I think it's because I ate a whole heap of watermelon, after a whole heap of chocolate... I'm sure my acne will appreciate that :P

Lots of virtual hugs,

DAY NINE (finally)

DAY NINE: what's on your life list/bucket list.

I've been looking forward to this one :) This is something I like to think about in life, as there are many many things I want to do. Also I like making lists. Hehe x So here it is! A (short) list of things I want to do in life.

• Go to New York City! I want to go there sooooo incredibly bad. Maybe it's from my obsessive obsession of Glee, or maybe it's just my love of cities. Either way, I really really want to go there.
• Have a bake sale. Okay, this one sounds a little weird, and a bit small to be on a bucket list, but back in 2011 my class had a bake sale to raise some money. It was really fun baking cookies (gingerbread men may I add) and then seeing people gobble them up before my eyes. I really want to do it again.
• Go skydiving. I know this one is on a lot of people's list, and I see why. The idea is terrifying for me, yet I still feel the urge to jump out of a plane and fall through the sky to my possible death. Yay!
• Be in one of the big school productions. Every year my school (and the boys school from my town) put on a big theater production. This year they are doing West Side Story, which I am going to see with one of my coolest friends. I love drama and acting and singing and dancing. Once I'm a year 11, I can audition for a part (unless there are child roles, in which case I could audition for one of those). 
• Go on a caravan trip around NZ. New Zealand is an amazingly beautiful place, and I'm so lucky to be living here. A lot of tourists come here and travel around in their caravans/buses. Even though I live here, I still want to travel across the country, sightseeing and all that jazz.
• Be happy in life (here comes that cheesy inspiring ending...) What's the point in life if you don't live it to it's fullest and be happy along the way. I can wholeheartedly say that I am perfectly happy with my life right now, and I would prefer it to stay that way. Sometimes you can't help feeling down and upset, and that sucks, but the only way to  have life not suck is to be happy! (did that make sense???) Yay!

Okay, I feel like there is heaps more that I could add to that list, but currently my brain has decided to have a night out and leave me here all alone. 

Hopefully I will actually stick to my posting schedule now that I'm all caught up ;)

Here, have some love!
