Limited Horror Movie Experience: The Conjuring ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

Hi guys! How are you? My limbs and my nose has been frozen solid for the last few weeks. Hope you guys are in a better state.

I went to watch the Conjuring 2 on Thursday. I have absolutely no experience in horror movies. The last time I attempted to watch a “horror” movie was when I was when I was 9. I was dragged to watch Scary Movie 4 by my brother who was 6 at that time. And it doesn’t even count as a scary movie.

I made plans with a few friends to watch the new James Wan movie, the Conjuring 2, on Thursday. It was a very rushed get together and I haven’t seen the first movie. So I decided to watch the first movie the night before to get used to the director’s style and to have a taste of what I will be up against.

An hour into the movie:

Jump scares. Phone dropped three times. No cracks.

After revealing the cause of the haunting and the identity of the evil spirit etc etc it was alright for me. Probably because I’m used to watching exorcisms and stuff like that. I guess I have to thank my endless binge watching of TV shows like Supernatural (can we talk about the last episode of the last season? Is it just me or was it anticlimatic?) and random mangas and anime.

Thursday:

Despite my 3 week crave for Pringles I didn’t buy any because I am trying to save up for my South Korea trip in September. I don’t even have $1000 AUD yet.

We ended up in a small cinema theatre with seats near the back and the guys sitting behind us were really rude. They were constantly talking throughout the movie and doing something else on their phone.

There were jump scares, which I hate, as usual. Especially the last one! This time I didn’t drop my phone or anything. Proud of me? (*´∀`*)

What I realised with my limited horror movie experience is that the characters are so stupid. I understand the reason why the main characters would go to the cellar or into some basement filled with water since it’s their job. But why in the world would you go into a room where there’s apparently someone holding knives or figure out why your stupid toy truck is coming to life in the middle of the night.

Ok rant over.

Hopefully in the future there will be characters who aren’t like that. Though I know it’s unavoidable and required to get the story moving.

My exams are over… (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

My exams are over and my one month (and a bit) break starts!!!!!

For the past few months I have been fiddling with my blog to try to find out what works for me and what doesn’t. Here’s what I have learnt so far:

1. I have absolutely no self control and will spend the whole day on social media or on the blog when I have exams the next day.

2. Posting whenever I feel like would mean that the blog will be very active for a few days or weeks and then dead for the next few months.

3. There is seriously nothing interesting going on during the semester. I do nothing except tire myself out over my grades.

4. No one is interested in me grumbling over school.

5. I should seriously start to take my studies seriously. I really need to transfer out of Advanced Science.

 
So to patch things ups, I have decided to:

1. Post during my breaks only. Or write blog posts during the semester breaks.

2. Publish my posts on a set day each week only. (I’m thinking Sunday might work best for me)

3. This blog might as well be about whatever I get up to in the holidays. So any events, travel or just random stuff I do will be posted.

 
So that’s it. I will be going out and doing stuff like camp during this break and for my next break which is a 1 week mid semester I will be going to South Korea (guys I don’t really know what to do in Korea and all my friend wants to do is shop. Help).

I promise I will change the horrible profile pictures I have now. As soon I get something decent. I have nothing on me and want something which I can somehow censor my face out. Sorry.

See you in my next post!

When I’m supposed to study…

When I’m supposed to study I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet and watching YouTube. I watch a lot of odorite videos and nightcore music.

On average, I would go to the bathroom every 2 hours and stay in there for approximately 20-30minutes. 

Don’t be me.

Hi guys!

I decided to create a Facebook page for those who can’t email or twitter me. Feel free to send me a message! 🙂

Where Have I Been? (^^ゞ

Hi guys!

I haven’t posted anything for the past week (or month). Main reason is that I’ve been half dead trying to get my marks up. And there were exams. And I need a transfer.

Basically, I have a lot of excuses. I know. I’m horrible.

So I decided that instead of trying to attempt to post something at least once each week I would post things during my holidays. That way I would also have some interest stuff to say other than:

“I studied today and tried to defeat the Dark Lord, named Procrastination”.

So yeah…..

Sorry!

Or I can post short “statuses” of my mood. People seem to find my ever hanging mood hilarious. I don’t know why. Let me know what you think.

Exitus-My Escape Room Experience o(≧∇≦o)

Today I went with the Japanese Student Association group, which I joined in uni, to Exitus (previous known as Escapism).

We were in a group of 7 and we went into the escape room called Butcher’s Burrow. For those who don’t know what the escape room are about, in a group you are given a set time to find clues to open the door to “escape”. We were given 50minutes. In our room, we started off in one room and had to try to get into a second room and escape from that.

When we started, the room was pitch black. Any sort of noise will scare people and the creepy background music they have doesn’t make it better. I started off by looking at the walls for any clues, using the light of the iPad they gave us so we know how long we have, and saw numbers written in “blood”. Those numbers weren’t any use in the first room. I got frustrated, for no reason, and went to open the cabinet they have hanging in the middle of a wall. Things fell out. Metal cups. In the dark. Very loud cups. Very scary. The people organising these rooms seem to enjoy making loud metal thing fall when you open a cabinet or cupboard.

The second, loud metal dropping horror experience, was in the second room. We opened a cupboard and found a safe. But there was a big metal chain that randomly dropped when the doors of the cupboard was unlocked and opened. We opened the safe in go (yay us!) and we found the mini version of the Oxford dictionary. There were words on the back of the cupboard with minus and plus signs. So we obviously looked up the words in the dictionary and put our maths skills to the test. I failed horribly at it since I get confused when people say three digit numbers out loud. I would need to write the numbers down or I wouldn’t even know what the number is. We wasted a lot of time trying to add big numbers together and failed. To buy us more time, we closed the door connecting the first and second room and tried to “lock” the door with a chair that was in the room. The person working at the place walked in and said: “You guys did well, you didn’t even ask for a hint. But you do realise there is a calculator”.

…

There was a calculator behind the safe…

We were so close…

*sigh*

But at least it was a good experience and I actually connected with people I don’t know. I was doing this with 1 friend I’ve known for nearly 8 years and a five other uni students who I have met in past events but never had a conversation with.

The Introverted tries to be Social (^^;)

Some of you may know that I have joined a student association group in uni mainly to have some of social life. Except socialising was never my forte.

So I decided to apply for a position in the General Committee team of that group. They wanted to get to know everyone who applied better, so we all went out to have lunch today. I thought I would go alright in terms of socialising: not too social and not too antisocial.

Guess what?

I was mentally exhausted after an hour of exchanging a few words to people. I guess I am a natural introvert. I was alright when we were playing Skyfall and Mafia but I was always suspected as either the spy (in Spyfall) or the mafia (in Mafia). I learnt that I look dodgy all the time because I barely talk and enjoy watching people argue about who is the bad guy.

I am the person to be around if you just want to have quiet time to think or someone to rant to, but I am not ideal if you want to talk and get to know me. That’s going to take a while.

Oh well….

Am I too headstrong? ⊂(｀･Δ･´)⊃

This is going to be something like an insecurity post. I will be talking about some things to get it off my chest.

.

.

.

I have a friend who heavily relies on ones star sign to determine someones personality and capabilities. She is a Libra and uses the excuse that “Libras are indecisive” to avoid getting put on the spot to make choices and decisions, it seriously annoys me and I always end up telling her off.

Since, I am around her quite often, recently I feel like I am more aware of these things too. It first started off with a little research on the personality associated with my star sign (Leo), now I’m searching up friendship compatibilities. What I found from my research on my star sign has started to make me really self conscious about what I do and what I say. The personality of Leo is someone who is headstrong, has leadership qualities but sometimes to many people can be seen as arrogance. I also found that not a lot of people like people with a Leo star sign.

I also talked to my mother about my personality when I was younger. Apparently, mini me was a bossy one who goes crazy when people don’t listen to her. Also likes everything perfect and expects the best. This made me think about the way I sometimes am currently. These coming weeks will be crazy filled with assessments, exams, and groups tasks. I like to be the type who starts off early because I know there will always be last minute things. But the people I was assigned with for the group tasks seem to be the types who start off late. This isn’t making me very happy. I have started most of the work and have been telling people what to do so we can get something done. But no one has done anything except saying “ok”. One of my mates, who happened to be in one of my groups, said “I will do whatever you say”. I don’t know if it was intentional, but that hit where it hurts. And it was that moment when I realised that I am displaying most of the personalities associated with Leo.

The thing is I don’t like being hated or disliked. I’m fine if people don’t know I exist, but if they genuinely don’t like me…I don’t know.

What do you guys think about this situation? How do I tone down on my bossiness? I tend to not realise what I am doing until later in the day when I have time to think. And when I try not to be too “in your face” I become really quiet and won’t say anything until someone tells me to talk. I can’t seem to get the ‘in-between’.

Look After Your Health!!!!

Around 6 years ago, I decided to attend the compulsory swim school provided by my school. There were some girls who happened to be on their mentrual cycle on that day so they wanted to back out despite on of our PDHPE teacher’s encouragement to use tampons. Naive mini me was also menstruating and actually listened and went swimming using a tampon, despite my mother’s “nagging”. BIGGEST REGRET EVER!

Today, I had to go to Herbal Medicine Consultation today about my never ending acne, irregular menstrual cycles and my frequent fainting episodes which have been ongoing for around 5-6 years. This is the result from my stupid decision to go swimming 6 years ago. Apparently, I stuffed up my hormones so badly that I am bleeding every two weeks and in very small amounts over the span of 1-2 weeks each. The hormones have also given me cystic acne since I was 14 and I am stil battling it to this day. My hormones have been going on a never ending roller coaster and my lack of sleep does not make it any better. 

Eventually, I am required to have weekly consultations and drink the pungent Chinese herbal medicine two times each day, every day. For those of you who have experienced the horror of these herbal medicine: FEEL MY SUFFERING!

Motto of the day: Your body is your temple, look after it. 

I also saw a rally for the first time today. They were trying to convince us to repent and be baptised. They ended up closing a section of George Street in the city and got the cops involved for this.
