It's a week.

 I don't like Wednesdays.

But this wasn't SO BAD. The computer paper wasn't as effed up as I thought it would be. 

Though now, I'm tensed about Islamic paper. It's interesting and all, but, I have to learn every nook and corner of the lessons. Ever since our text book has changed, it seems like the Islamic teachers are digging for questions to put into the paper.

I'm gonna study for the next half hour, and then go watch AWKWARD. (New obsession)

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

It's a week.

It's..TUESDAY.

I'm doing it again. I am so relaxed about my Computer test when I SHOULD NOT. It's a 60 mark paper. I have, like, 3 lessons to cram. I am failing this chiz. The worst thing is, tomorrow's a Wednesday. I really don't enjoy Wednesdays. They are usually horrible. There are no English classes, and there are 4 Science classes. It's a pain. 

I gotta cram on this shit now. 

I HATE STUDYING STUFF. Except for English. And where it ACTUALLY COUNTS.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Winter Week?

It's almost the start the of winter.

In Dubai. Which probably means, very windy, kinda cloudy, chances of rain or hail. All of which I hate. Which is the reason I love Dubai. Winter only exists for a few months. Then it's full blast sunny. 

I was VERY restless today. Probably cuz of the weather. It was so...CLOUDY. I really don't enjoy cloudy. It reminds me of sadness. And sleep. I really didn't wanna do anything. I just wanted to sit in my comfort clothes with a blanket with the AC on full blast and watch some SNL with a lot of snacks and curtains closed and the lights switched on. (This is literally my ideal idea of fun.)

I got a lotta computer studying to do. And I'm restless. And now I'm sleepy too. And I got a bunch of chores to do. So I probably should get going.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Eid Holidays!

The last day of the Eid Holidays.

Well, It's been a long weekend.

Eid really wasn't THAT exciting or tiring as I expected to be. I did have loads of fun with Reem yesterday for a few hours, but usually, Eid would be a MASSIVE spirit up-lifter. I mean, there'd be loads of food, lots of smiles and unknown faces. Though, I don't really enjoy most of the visiting part. On the second day of Eid, we usually go visiting in Sharjah. (It's another emirate in the UAE) And it's VERY hectic. We can't even rest a bit, 'cuz if we wanted to, we'd have to go ALL THE WAY back home. And there's SOME LOADS of traffic at the border of Dubai and Sharjah. So, last Eid, we were visiting for almost 12 hours, just eating and smiling and what not. 

1) Some of you may think that, "HEY! You should be thankful of what you're getting! A HUMONGOUS amount of people hardly get to eat ANYTHING at all." 

2) And some others may think that, "Wow! I am dying to be where you are right now! I really wanna eat. I love tasty food! I'm so hungry! It's a good thing MY metabolism allows me to eat frackloads of food without getting any fatter. *innocent smile* " (Thinking about Irene and Lisha while writing this one. Shwetha, you know what I'm talking about.)

3) While others may also think, "*fist bump* I totally feel for you, bro. It's the same for me."

Okay, and my reply to each of these people:

1) I am VERY thankful for what I get to eat. My parents brought me up showing me pictures and videos of the unfortunate people who haven't gotten anything to eat at all. My dad has always reminded me of how we could be in the same state at ANY MOMENT, 'cuz we don't know what's gonna happen. I have tried NEVER to waste any food, and if I did, my guilt would take over me like venom. But during Eid, it's TOO MUCH to eat. TOO MUCH to be thankful for. I really wouldn't mind giving some of that food to people in underdeveloped places.

2) I don't CARE that your metabolism allows to eat cartloads of food without getting fat. I ain't jealous at all!  AT ALL. I be healthy.

3) Same here. I know what you feel too. Eating a lot of food can make someone sick.

And talking about Eid and food, let's see how my Eid went. 

Day 1: I was fine in the morning. I just ate at my aunt's house and that was probably it. We visited a few homes, and went back home. Then, a few dozens of people came to our house, (including Reem. YAY!) and I was busy reading The Sea of Monsters. At night, we left again to visit another round of houses. I was feeling sick. We reached back home at 11:00 PM or something. Probably 'or something'. Then I just updated the blog, and dozed off.

Day 2: We left home at 9 or 10 AM to visit Reem's house. When I reached, I chatted a lot with Reem, and begged my parents to let me stay at her house and go back with them when we were all going to an aunt's house for lunch. I had AMAZING fun with Reem, played the drawing game (Can't wait to share it with you Hanan. But I guess you already know. If you don't, then, GREAT! I'll tell you about it.), then I left with her family to visit some other houses. I had fun, this time, 'cuz I had company. Then I had to go back with my parents and visit yet another bunch of homes. I did have some company for a little time with one of my friends at her house, but we were just geeking away about Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. Then we went back home, and I completed The Sea of Monsters and updated my blog and went to sleep.

That was KINDA a detailed detail about my Eid.

Anyway, this was pretty long. (I guess.) I got some school tomorrow. HURRAY for that. Better call Shwetha to ask about what crackloads of stuff I got due this week.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Eid Holidays!

Eid: Day 2

I'm really sorry that I didn't post. I was busy reading the second book of Percy Jackson. Completed it in a day. The craze has come on SO BAD. I LOVE PERCY JACKSON! I'm gonna read Titan's Curse tomorrow. 

But, anyway, it wasn't really a fun Eid. Details later.

SO...

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Eid Holidays!

Eid: Day 1

Tired. SO SLEEPY. Can't talk. Details in a few days. 

SORRY.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Eid Holidays!

The first day of the Eid holidays.

I feel huge. I just came back from the mall, and it's been a long day. 

My dad came back from his business trip from Madagascar early this morning, and I really wanted to get some eye makeup from the mall. 

We left our house around 6:00 PM, and guess what I found when we reached the car: My dad's new car. It's not really new to us. No car has survived in our household for more than 2 years. My dad just loves cars. TOO MUCH. - THING ONE

While on the car, I searched the store directory of the mall for a makeup outlet. We decided to go to Sephora. (Note from blogger: I am awkward. VERY AWKWARD. My awkwardness to cashiers is briefly described here: Click ME!) I really don't like cashiers coming up to me unless asked. So, I was FRACKING awkwardized when a pretty lady asked me what I wanted in the store. I forced a few words from my mouth. My parents were fasting, so they told me to get this done quickly. I am VERY PICKY. I can't 'get this done with quickly'. So I slouched a little and mumbled some stuff. Finally my mum saved me and asked the lady for some eyeliner. Then bought some black eyeshadow and eyeliner. It cost a lot. - THING TWO (It's a stupid thing.)

We went for prayers and then went to get some dinner. Obviously to McDonald's. We bought some food. (Another note: I don't like wasting tasty food.) My brother couldn't finish his food, so for the sake of not wasting food, I ate his. So, forcefully, I ate, a Big Mac, 4 McWings, a McFlurry, all churned together with some Sprite. (It might not be much for some people, but it is too much for me.) Then I left for Borders with my sister to read books. As soon as I reached there, my stomach felt as if it was being stretched and being tied up into knots. I HAD to go to the restroom. After THAT business. I went back to Borders. Now, I wanted throw up all the food I'd eaten. But this time, I TRIED to control it and I KINDA succeeded. - THING THREE

Then the mall trip was done. Now I'm just typing this. With a LOT of difficulty. Using blogger on the iPad is hard.

Thanks to mom and dad for taking me cosmetics shopping.

No thanks to my sister for screaming at me all the time.

Gotta sleep now. Eid tomorrow. Lots to do. 

Eid Mubarak to any Muslims out there. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank. 

What to do..

Ummm...The first day after the exams?

Now, since the exams are over, BACK TO SCHOOL. Yet AGAIN. I hate this system. Y'know, going to school, coming back, to and fro, IT'S TIRING. WHY can't they give us more than a measly FOUR days for Eid? Eid is very tiring. ESPECIALLY in Dubai. The best thing though, I'll meet Reem face to face. After, more than 2 months. And we live in the same country.

And I'll probably meeting Hanan on December when I go to India for few weddings. The bad thing is, I don't think I'll be able to post. When I am at those weddings. 'Cuz the place where those weddings are taking place hasn't even been developed since the 20th century. I have only seen ONE TV in the houses I've been to. JUST ONE. And I don't mean to sound arrogant and I'm not saying that EVERY PLACE NEEDS TO HAVE A TV. I am just saying that, the place is not really that developed. It doesn't even have Wi-Fi. I'll just make a note of my posts and then squeeze them into ONE HUGE POST when I get back to my grandparents' home.  

I dunno what to do. I've reached the end of The Lightning Thief and I really want the Sea of Monsters. (Percy Jackson books if you don't know.) I'll be buying a lot of books when I'm in India.

I'll probably do some novel editing now.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

Final exam of the exam week.

FINALLY. Some rest. OR NOT. I have school tomorrow. What joy. I wanted some rest. Plus, tomorrow's a Wednesday. I hate Wednesdays almost as much as I hate Mondays. The worst thing is, NO ENGLISH tomorrow. Just a fuck load of science. I hate science. The only thing I like about science is that you can use your commonsense.

Anyway, I was still checking out the stream selection for junior year, and I realized, even though there are amazing stuff in Arts, there are the things which I want to learn in Science too. I mean, ever since I saw the labs in 7th grade, I've always wanted to study Web Design and Home Science. Negative point, it's in the Science Stream. 

When I was in 5th Grade, I was REALLY fascinated by my Grandfather's job, which is a dentist. I still am. I totally wouldn't mind being a dentist. And at that time, I was adamant that I'll get into the Science stream, and go to Manipal University in India (My Grandfather's alma mater) and study to become a dentist. Then in 7th grade, my dreams were shattered, 'cuz there's a lotta MATHS in it and I HATE MATHS. Then, I promised myself that I wouldn't even think about getting into Science. Though I still would love to become a dentist.

Anyway, I'm just done with crying, 'cuz my mum made me try on these HORRIBLE dresses for Eid which itches like crazy. And they're not pretty at all. And one was so tight. I'm still crying.

But, I don't wanna sound like a brat. I'm thankful for the dresses I have. KINDA.

I should probably go do some work.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

3rd study leave of the exam week.

I've got Hindi tomorrow. And for some reason, I'm taking it lightly. A little TOO lightly. I was reading Girls with Slingshots and listening to T-Swizzle's (Taylor Swift) new album today.

I am HOPELESS. 

I was procrastinating ALL DAY. Though, I have faith in myself, and I believe that I can get good grades in Hindi WITHOUT going FOR TUTORING. (You get that Shwetha? You get the emphasis? Of course you don't, 'cuz you haven't read this. WHY? Cuz you're probably at Hindi tutoring right now. *OUCH*)

Anyway, I have to go. I still have a lot of studying to do. I believe that I'll pass. But I wanna get more than a C, a B+ would be great. I just can't seem to get off the computer. WHY? Because I happen to be a Pro-procrastinator. And I need some HELP on this. 

(Call me Shwetha, FORCE ME to study.) 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

4th exam of the exam week.

I am so flunking my Social Science exam. It was horrid. I hate it. 

I won't be writing much for the next few days, since I HAVE to study. It's Hindi on Tuesday, and I DO NOT wanna flunk it. Languages are my only high point. I HAVE to try and work hard to get better grades. (That's the spirit.)

and not only that,

We have Eid on Friday. (Google it if you don't know what that is.)

And I gotta brush up on my spellings since the spelling bee preliminary round is on the 18th of November. I know there is, like, a month for it, but I really don't wanna be lagging behind and stuff.

I'm also 'warming up' and starting to create characters and stuff for the novel. This so-called 'novel' thing is fun, but I'm thinking about keeping this novel personal. I don't want people to see how horrible and amateur my writing is. 

I read this line somewhere, "No matter how older you grow, the minute you see your writings from your younger years, you'll immediately hang your head in shame."

And I feel that way. The moment I see any of my writing from yesterday, or a year ago, I'll always feel like it's too cliché, or too weird, or not well thought through.  

Anyway, gotta brush up on Hindi.. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Weekend

Day 12 of the weekend.

FUCK LOAD OF SHIT. I am FREAKING OUT. I feel like I haven't studied ANYTHING in Social Science. I am PARANOID. I NEED to CRAM on this shit. 

CRAM. How I loathe that word. Though I practice it everyday. Aren't I a role model.

Anyway, Nothing much to tell. JUST THAT I NEED TO STUDY AND PASS SOCIAL. OH MY GOD, I AM WAY PAST BREAKING DOWN IN TEARS. 

I pray for myself that I DO NOT flunk this load of nonsense.

I can't stand myself. Gotta log off. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Weekend

Day 11 of the weekend.

I have to keep this short. Got A LOT of studying and cramming to do. Anyway, have you guys read mental floss? It's kinda funny.

I don't really have much to talk about today. Probably cuz I was just studying. And watching Easy A. That's a nice movie. Emma Stone is cool. 

I really have to get back to studying SO..

For the sake of it..

RANDOM TOPIC!!!

Your favorite newscaster:

Robin Scherbatsky. Does she count? Probably not. 

But anyway, I get my news from the paper. Because I am like that.

Screw this topic anyway.

The right time to stop schooling:

I really don't think there's a right time. There aren't really many or any of kind 'incidents' which occur to students that would make them quit school. I don't really have a diversity-filled kind of surrounding or environment here, because I go to an Indian school. Most of the Indians, as far as I know, want to graduate with 'flying colors' and become doctors, architects, businessmen/women and engineers. There are very few students who willingly opt for the Humanities stream. Everyone is usually stuck on Commerce or Science.  

But apart from that, if there ever IS a right time to stop schooling, then it would be, when you don't feel comfortable with it, or when you think school costs you family too much when you have no gain from it, or probably if you're too scared to confront your family or friends about any 'mishaps' occurring to you.

I REALLY gotta get going now. Wish me luck! Hope the paper doesn't suck. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

3rd exam of the exam week.

The English exam was AMAZING. I expect more than 70 (or atleast 65) in my exam. It was just too good to be true. It's a shame I have Social Science on Sunday. I still have two more burdening exams to go. 

I played with some make up, and I expected to look hideous, but I look fine.

Not much occurred, so I'm just gonna talk a lot.

3) Poornima:

She is one of the closest friends I've had in a span of two years. We grew very close last year when we were partners in class. She's been an AMAZING friend to me, and she's always supported me in everything, and we have a whole lot in common. Though, she's not in my class now, 'cuz she's in some other syllabus, and I rarely get to meet her. But I love her a lot, 'cuz she has really been a best friend to me, and she's introduced me to new songs and stuff, and even though we haven't been friends for long, I've certainly had the best times with her.

4) Shwetha:

Shwetha has always been on my side, and she has always been helping me out. If it wasn't for her, I'd probably be failing my tests now. And also, she's ALWAYS helping me pwn Irene. Even though the both of them are best friends, Shwetha always makes Irene look stupid. *Virtual High five to my buddy Sho Sho*

We 'bonded' (or whatever, I don't have any other word to replace it with) last year when she was sitting in front of me, and during the 2011-2012 Spelling Bee. (That was fun.) The few things we have in common is English language. Irene speaks with a south indian accent, and usually mispronounces words, so Shwetha and I, as if naturally, tease her for it.

(Though, we both have had our own times, where we have mispronounced words. One time, I was saying debutante, and instead of de-byu-tant, I said de-byu-tant-ay. I have hung my head in shame.)

Shwetha and I usually have a lot of fun superior-ly looking down on Irene's mistake. (Thanks Irene for bearing with us for life.)

And of course, how could I forget, our epic phone calls which last for 15 minutes to an hour because I don't really want to stop talking. 

RANDOM TOPIC! 

Ways to save pennies:

I don't really know the American forms of currency, so I dunno. But I DO know how to save money. 

ONLY spend on things YOU NEED. NOT WANT. Only on food and some wearable clothes and other rations and provisions. NOT on gourmet food for you and your Chihuahua or Shih Tzu, and NOT even on some designer chanersaceolcebannarmaniorlgarivicsecrerry. (Those are designer clothing brand mixed up into one. See if you can guess the brands. I just took it outta some magazine.)

Anyway, I'll continue on stuff tomorrow, I need to study Social Science. I pray I pass.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

2nd exam of the exam week.

I'm gonna get this done fast.

I have English tomorrow, and I WANT AND NEED to get above 70 marks. I really don't wanna disappoint my English teacher. The thing is, I started to begin today's blog late, so I'm really hurrying this through. I've been totally over the top with social networking sites for some reason. I feel like I have to try out everything that's out there. 

Anyway, science was OKAY, I expect above 35. I just used my commonsense though. Though I finished like, an hour before the time was up, so, I was a little worried that I left out something. 

Nothing much occurred today, just reading through my English textbooks. I REALLY hope that it's an easy paper. I really want good grades for this one. *COMMITTED* 

JUST ONE RANDOM TOPIC!

Issues with your parents:

Not much really. My parents have usually been supportive of my decisions. They have stayed out of my educational life, and they have provided me with everything I need materially, and emotionally. Though, I don't like the amount of freedom I'm given by my parents, which is very less. The first time I got to go out with my friends was on my 14th birthday. And that has been the last time I went. My friends and I have been planning to go for Breaking Dawn: Part 2, but not confirmed yet. 

But overall, I really don't have any issues with my parents. (Except for those few times, when my mom took away my iPad and iPod, and the times my dad treats me like a kid.)

That's the end of today's blog, I promise, there will be more either tomorrow, or on Saturday. 

I just need to study a lot of ENGLISH. I AM PARANOID. (Thanks a bunch, Shwetha.)

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

2nd study leave of the exam week.

I am PARANOID. I'm lagging behind on my science syllabus. And I NEED to complete it. I have almost 12 hours left to go. 

I just hope my exam week gets over soon. 'With flying colors'. Then I can move on to my week of Eid holidays, and I can play the Sims with no interruption. I miss it so much.

But right now, I'm just guiltily watching an old episode of SNL. I SERIOUSLY need some procrastination therapy. It keeps getting worse. I just pray that I can get through this ONE science exam. The rest of the exams are easier compared to this stupid boulder of nonsense I have to keep learning about. The downside is, I NEED to get good grades in Science. I did horrible at my other science tests. If it was any other subject, I could scrape out with a C-. In science, I HAVE TO get a B. 

RANDOM TOPIC!

Your favorite video game franchise:

The Sims. DUHHHHH. I LOVE THE SIMS. I don't have all the games. (Because it's too costly here, and my parents are not really interested in buying it for me.)

I bought the Sims 3 Deluxe a few days before my 14th birthday. AND it took me a long time persuading my parents to buy it for me. It's really hard to find The Sims in Dubai. I can only check out E-max and Geekay Games and some other store for my games. And the Sims is usually in limited varieties. I still think The Sims 2 is the best. I like Sims 3 too, as it has better effects and more options and shit like that. But Sims 2, IS AMAZING. It has boolprop. Which is the MOST AMAZING CHEAT in Sims history. EVER. 

But still, I am addicted to Sims. And when I am, it's not pretty. I've been Sim-sober for almost 2 months now since I have exams coming up. But right after their over, I'll be Sim-addicted again. 

I'm not gonna be talking about any of my friendships with my friends today, since I NEED to study. I CAN NOT fail this test. And I should not. Please pray for me. I hope I atleast scrape out of this test with a 10 or a 15 in each component. (Physics, Chemistry and Biology.)

Anyway, have you heard State of Grace by Taylor Swift? It's her newest preview. Just a week for her album to release. I am SO excited. Yet another thing to look forward to after the exams. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

1st exam of the exam week.

Maths. It was fine. I guess. I hope I'll get above 45. I REALLY hope that I get above 45. But I'm scared about Science now. I was shivering at the final moments of writing my math paper. I don't know WHAT will happen at my science paper. I expect low marks. I just can't study science. Today, I'm gonna study a lot of chemistry and a bit of biology today, and then moving on to physics and rest of biology tomorrow. I hate biology, I'll probably do better in physics and chemistry.

SNL is still fuckin' hilarious.

I'm obsessed with Take a Walk by Passion Pit.

Anyway, today, I'll talk about my friendship with Irene.

2) Irene:

It's REALLY weird. Our friendship is accentuated by how much we fight. And I can squeeze my friendship in 3 analogies: We are like, beavers quarelling over a nut, 2 politicians debating too much, and wrestlers slamming each other with words before a fight.

To elaborate, We fight a LOT over a LITTLE thing, we'd be always bla-bla-ing about how one of us is better than the other, and we are usually pointing out the flaws in each other.

BUT, we're REALLY close friends. In my group of friends, I've been friends with Irene the longest. Before, I thought Shwetha was too nerdy, Poornima had some other group of friends, and Lisha was too weird, and Anncy was bitchy.

AND Irene and I can't STAND OR TOLERATE each other for long. In 7th grade, Irene and I were class partners, and we fought A LOT. Over very little problems and no reason at all. Just because we were annoyed with each other. We almost lost our friendship.

But that's over. Irene and I SWORE we'd never be class partners EVER again.
But, we DID have good times. We used to colour each other's Word Power books, and draw randomly on each other's hands too. AND we used to write in little papers that we were really good friends. Corny, I know. But that's how we USED to be. Now, one of us does something stupid, the other one would be like, "Oh Lord! How stupid can you get? I don't know you anymore!" 
How times have changed.

RANDOM TOPIC!

Getting a new phone:

Is fine, I guess. Usually people would wait around for the new model of some phone, (Like the iPhone 5.) and they would plan to buy it. Since it's just out of the market, the price would be really high. (I'm speaking Dubai-wise. Things ARE costly here. So, getting a chance of getting an iPhone 5, when you just got the iPhone 4S is usually low since things are just too costly over here.) You REALLY want that phone, so, you go get it. For how much ever it is. A little while later, (Probably a year.) you're just getting used to the phone, the stuff, etc. and then a NEW phone comes out. (Not necessararily of the same company, but a better phone.)

I'm happy I don't have to go through the pain of picking out a phone. I'm too picky.

Well that ended today's post. Study, and do something. Atleast that's what I should do. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

Exam Week

1st study leave of the exam week.

YAY! A day off! I can work normally again!

AND to burst my own bubble of joyness, I have a 90-marks worth maths paper tomorrow.

BUT, I CAN say that my day today has NOT gone to waste. I held a second mock test for myself today, AND I got a fracking 52.5 out of 90. I am REALLY proud of myself. NO SARCASM. I really am proud of myself. I have worked hard, and I believe I can do better in my real test.

I AM JUST SO HAPPY. *tears*

Though, I am really nervous about the mock test at my tutor's today. I really don't think SHE'D be happy with my almost 53. And I don't wanna disappoint her. She's been really nice to me, and she might not think that, but I've really learnt A LOT about math after I started going for tutoring classes with her.

If I had not gone for my tutoring sessions, I think the highest I would have gotten in my exam would be an 8. Maybe a 12 or something. But that would be it.

Anyway, I just realized I CAN'T show you the thing of me and Shwetha. It's a paper. I'm not gonna tell you what's in it, but I'm just showing it to you guys 'cuz Shwetha wanted me to. But I can't since I need a scanner. SO, I'm probably gonna keep it with me, till I get a scanner, or atleast till December, because I'll probably be going to India then, and my grandma has a scanner. Yay! Can't wait to go to India. It may be dirty and all rainy, but the books you get in India are BLEEPING amazing AND CHEAP.

And as I was saying that, my day has not gone to waste, some of it has. Today morning, I was spending a lot of time playing Life Quest 2. It's such a fun game.

Now it's mock test time:

It's 3:00 PM now. In almost 40 minutes, I'll have to go for my mock test. I HOPE I'll do good. Updates later after I reach back home.

*A few hours later*

It's 7:00 PM now, I just came back from tutoring. I had my mock test. And I half-aced, half-failed it. I GUESS. 

It could have been better. Though I think I'll get just above 40 or something. But actually, out of all my exams, I think I'm scared of Science the most. I am crap at it. And I think I'll just barely pass Hindi, it's a good thing I got good grades for my other Hindi tests. But, in Science, I HAVE TO get good grades in it. I FAILED my other science tests, so I should get at least 40 in my science paper. 

Anyway, I had 5 HOURS of math studying today, SO, I'm just gonna read some stuff on science, and watch some SNL now.

SNL is hilarious. Jokes like those aren't found anywhere these days.

Anyway, moving on..

RANDOM TOPIC!

Going to the movies with your friends:

Is damn fun. The first time I went to the movies with my friends was on June 2nd. Which happens to be my birthday, it was KINDA like a birthday gift. The only downside was that, the only two friends who were there were Poornima and Shwetha. Irene didn't wanna come since she already saw Dark Shadows. Though, we were ACTUALLY going to watch the Avengers, BUT, my dad was a little late to drop us off in time.

But I think I was gonna talk about my friendship with my friends today.

I still am.

1) Lisha and Anncy:

This friendship kinda the same. It's all acting lesbian-ish. I know it's lame, and crazy, but it's like that. Though I'm more like that with Anncy. With Lisha, I really like her as a friend. She's really sweet to me. And I'm sweet to her. Everyone picks on her, because she acts stupid-ly at times. And I hated her when she was my class partner last year. But then we moved on.

And Anncy, she's satirical. She has a different kind of approach to life with all her humor. We act stupid A LOT. We were enemies when we were younger. She even took my Princess storybook in 4th grade. But, she's still amazing the way she is. 

That's enough friends for the day. I'll continue tomorrow. 

Gotta brush up on Maths and Science.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank

The Weekend

Day 10 of the weekend.

YES! FINALLY! I have a day off tomorrow. Though it's a study holiday.

Two and a half men is hilarious. SOMETHING to put me into a good mood. Exams are stressing me out. I'm being pessimistic and thinking about crappy things about the tests. (Thanks A LOT, Shwetha for placing thy pessimistic influence unto my brain.)

We had a luncheon at my great-grandfather's home today. Ate a lot. I've been eating A LOT in the past few days. I ate two shawarmas continuously yesterday. (If you don't know what shawarmas are, google it, and take an oppurtunity to eat it. It is..HEAVENLY.) 

The day before yesterday, I ate a load of coleslaw, two huge pieces of KFC Chicken, AND a wad of fries.

No wonder I'm overweight. I eat loads of food and never exercise.

Speaking of which,

ME TIME! (The time to know something about me.)

I HATE SPORTS. I despise any kind of sport. I don't know why. I hate it. I even hate watching sports. Indians are crazy about cricket. Like, seriously crazy. Cricket owns the lives of many Indians. And me, I don't even know how cricket works. I just feel like some people are just throwing bats and cricket balls around.

I don't mind playing sports on my Wii or XBox, but in reality, I am a fitness failure.

The End.

Anyway, my parents are beginning to enter my academic life NOW. All these years, they didn't even care, and all of a sudden, they're forcing me to study. I've been independent education-wise, and now it's weird having them to tell me about studying.

TOPIC TIME!

Your favorite places to eat:

I like a lot of places. I dunno.

Anyway, it's getting late, and my parents are forcing me to sleep. UGHH. Gonna continue about stuff tomorrow.

I still have to show you a thingy Shwetha and I did in class on Thursday.

Whatever.

The Weekend

Day 9 of the weekend.

WHY can't I EVER blog on Fridays?

I have to postpone my promise of updating a lot for tomorrow. It's late now. I was doing a mock test for myself in math to gain confidence. I got a 32 out of 90. It's mostly because I didn't attempt a few questions AND I was correcting my own paper. Because I didn't want to be 'biased', I cut 2 or 3 marks here and there.

So, I'm confident that I'll PASS. That's nice.

Science is SHIT. I hate science. If you do follow me on twitter, (And I'm pretty sure you don't.) you already know that I despise science. Science was a BREEZE (And believe me, when I say 'BREEZE'.) for me in 7th and 8th grade. But I've been doing worse at that too. Languages is only my strength. Though I think that is also gonna be my weakness, since Hindi is also planning the downfall of my grades this semester. 

Nothing much occurred today, other than the mock test. 

I really want to show you guys a worksheet Shwetha and I had to complete in class, but I can't, since I got to take pictures of it, (since I don't have a scanner.) and upload it and other loads of crap. So, I'll probably show it to you tomorrow or on Sunday. 

I'll update you guys about Thursday, either on tomorrow or on Sunday, since my iPad charge is going down. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Fifth Week

Day 25 of the rest of the year.

ARGGHH. I'm SO sorry I couldn't post the Thursday's blog. So busy. I SWEAR and I PROMISE that I'll make up to this lack of blog either on Friday's or Saturday's blog.

I suck at schedules. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Fifth Week

Day 24 of the rest of the year.

UGGHHH. My ears are bleeding with Shwetha singing into it through the phone.

UGGHHH. SHWETHA IS NOT GETTING OFF THE PHONE AND WANTS ALL HER NOTES!

WHY didn't she come to school today? Because she didn't feel like it.

It was a normal day. BUT, IT WAS SO FOGGY. Couldn't see a thing. AND Shwetha and Irene were absent. Though it wasn't boring. I had fun with my other friends. (I don't need you, Shwetha. I don't even need you, Irene. To have fun.)

And the bad thing is that there wasn't any English class to make the day better. OR fun.

UGGHHH. SHWETHA STOP SINGING!

FINALLY. My ears have got their peace.

If you didn't know, I HATE foggy days. I'm okay with cloudy, but I don't really enjoy overcast days. Though it's much better than where I'm from in India. It rains a lot. AND it's depressing. 

But then the fogginess went away later. So I became happy.

I DID have fun. My really good friends Lisha and Poornima were there to keep me company. (Unlike some Irenes and Shwethas I know of. Anncy is excused as she is on medical leave. Get well soon darling.)

And I promised myself I would do this. 

I LOVE YOU DAD.

I LOVE YOU DAD.

I LOVE YOU DAD.

I LOVE YOU DAD.

I HAD to say that. After I went to Spinneys to give in my Spelling Bee form, that's when I realized that my parents do SO MUCH for me.

Well, my father and I left for Spinneys, and then after we gave the form, we went to get some groceries. I went to the bookstore over there, (OBVIOUSLY.) and I found a Dork Diaries book which my sister wanted. Since her birthday is coming up on Monday, I thought we'd buy it for her. So, after the shopping, my dad and I went to the bookstore, and he gave me a 100 bucks to buy the book. And the book was just for 35 dirhams, so I just slipped in the third book of the Percy Jackson series, The Titan's Curse, and I bought it, and my dad didn't say a thing. These guys do so much for me, and I just ignore it. 

I love them so much.

Thanks a bunch, Mom and Dad.

LOL. (NO, It was actually very intense and dramatic.)

RANDOM TOPIC!

Procrastination methods:

What a breeze.

• Find a legit excuse of not doing something you're supposed to.
• Do something else. 
• Then use the excuse for not doing the something you were supposed to do.
• Repeat.

I feel like I've taught you something now. *PROUD SMILE*

Proper times to study:

Well, I don't know. But I know the proper times to NOT study.

1. When your favorite TV Show is going on.
2. 10 minutes before the exam begins. (You WILL regret it.)
3. During a party. It's rude. But I did it anyway.

Well that ended topic time.

I gotta iron my uniform now. OR NOT. I can do that in the morning I suppose. 'Cuz I'm sleepy.

I hope tomorrow's a better day. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Fifth Week

Day 23 of the rest of the year.

Today was ACTUALLY a good day. Though, any day with English class in it is usually a good day.

But, besides that, I had fun today, by having fun. I played charades with my friends, though, our games of charades is usually hilarious since we guess Hindi movies, and it seems ridiculous when you act out the movie.

I'm watching Angus, thongs and perfect snogging now, while solving some math cowshit and OF COURSE, blogging. 

I thought about talking about my relationship with my friends, but, I am lazy today, so I'll probably do it over the weekend or sooner.

FUCKING SHIT. I have exams. Thank you SO MUCH, brain, for reminding me AT THE LAST MOMENT. 

Which reminds me of:

http://theoatmeal.com/comics/brain

CHECK IT OUT! (Though, it does have some BLEEPS. So, if you're sensitive to THAT. STAY AWAY. But check it out anyway.)

OMG, I LOVE, 'I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE' by Taylor Swift. I can't wait for Red.

Mild-Swifty for some time.

RANDOM TOPIC OF THE DAY!

Politicians you hate:

Probably most politicians  But most of them are Americans. Since I know much more about American politicians than the politicians of my own country. I mean SERIOUSLY, I didn't know India had a new President till Irene and Shwetha told me during the vacations when we'd been to Shwetha's house. 

But I think I hate Mitt Romney the most. He seems like a douchebag. So does his running partner. I think his name is Paul Ryan or something.

Also, Rick Perry. I saw his stupid video on YouTube which he'd posted, and I was like, "WHAT THE BLEEP IS THIS?" It was just crap. So, I did my job, and I disliked it. 

But overall, I don't like politicians at all. Don't know why. Just don't like them.

Okay, I got to get back to my maths homework. SO...

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Fifth Week

Day 22 of the rest of the year.

Really good time today. Not overall, just a few parts of the day.

AMAZING time at English class. My teacher said that I was a pleasure to have in the class. Blushes all over me. Means so much.

Another thing was the debate we had at our Political Science class today. The debate was if education should be made compulsory to be a politician. I, being kind of a humanitarian, OBVIOUSLY said that education needn't be necessary and just basic knowledge would be fine. (Unlike some other douche bag who says it is, LIKE SHWETHA. LOL.)

BAD time at tutoring. Apparently, I had done worse on the test this time, and she was kinda pissed of with me, since I don't understand a lot of shit I won't ever use.

And a funny thing is happening these days. I have a VERY SORE throat. In the morning, it's absolutely fine, and I am able to speak. But, when I'm back at home, it starts worsening again. 

ANOTHER thing, I was this close to not go for the spelling bee this time. But I have regained my confidence, and I'm ready to go. I think I'm the only one in my class who is going. 

BUT, I have to pay the money at Spinneys, since the school isn't collecting the money anymore because the inspection crew (KHDA) is here. Stupid much? WORST EXCUSE EVER.

Now I have to go ALL THE WAY to Spinneys to give in my form.

I LOVE HIMYM.

I can't wait for the newest episode! AND Taylor's new song, 'I knew you were trouble.' Something to look forward to this October.

Gotta go. WORK, WORK, WORK. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Fifth Week

Day 21 of the rest of the year.

I'm watching HIMYM. Hilarious. AND studying. Duke of multi-tasking.

I have recently been interested in greek mythology ever since I started reading Percy Jackson. The craze is definitely doing it's thing.

I'm not really THAT tired today, 'cuz I didn't go for tutoring. My mom told me it was fine and I didn't have to go today, and I could go on Thursday instead. Woohoo.

AND, on other news, I'll be going for the spelling bee this year too. It's a little tiring, but it's a great learning experience. I enjoyed it the last time, and I hope to enjoy this time too.

UGHH. Why can't I understand Chemistry? It's horrid shit.

JUST a week away from the exams. I'm a mess.

Irene was absent, but nevertheless, I had GREAT fun. This occurs a lot. If Shwetha or Irene is absent, then the whole day is great. And something BIG usually happens.

This time it was just normal fun. Playing games, and of course, our English teacher. She's amazing. She cracks up a lot of jokes and she's SO SWEET. 

I don't have much to yap about today, so, I'm just gonna stop.

I'll probably talk a lot tomorrow. OR NOT. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Weekend

Day 8 of the weekend.

FINALLY. I am not preoccupied. Well, maybe I am. But, whatever.

Anyway, to start, today was NOT a weekend for me. I had school. SO, It was just as tiring as any other weekday. Apparently, if I have school, I get tired. I'm just waiting for the Eid holidays at the end of October. 

I am gonna talk about a few things today.

Outline of parties which take place in my family:

It's usually the same all the time.

The party is most probably a lunch party, and it would mostly take place on a Friday, so, the men have to come back from the Friday prayer and by the time the guests arrive, it's usually 2:00 PM.

The ladies sit in the bedroom chatting away, and the men in the living room/dining hall. Kids loiter around the house and play. If you are a close relative of the host, you would probably be in the kitchen, talking to the hostess and PROBABLY helping her. (Emphasis on helping since when our family throws parties, I barely help.)

The men will be talking about business and probably some cars or something. (I don't really know, 'cuz I ain't a dude.)

The host(s) and hostess(es) are on turbo blast mode, cooking and serving food.

After all is done, food is served. Food includes: Meat, rice, salad, curd, pickles, vegetables, curry, gravy, etc. (Usually no one is vegan/vegetarian in our guests.)

After everyone has had their meal, next comes dessert. Dessert includes: Jelly (Gelatin), Ice cream, Caramel pudding, etc.

After dessert is done, everyone would probably go for their mid-afternoon prayers OR have some tea. (EVERYONE loves tea.)

This usually concludes the party. It might not seems hectic, but IT IS. Gotta live it to learn it.

Friday:

Yesterday was my mom's cooking competition day, and her group's entry was really good. I regretted going to the competition since it was so tiring and horrid, and it was really crowded. I was SO SLEEPY. I spent most of the time reading Percy Jackson and listening to Zedd. It was a blur. We just played a bunch of badly coordinated games.

UGHH. My brother distracted me and made me draw a picture which he crumpled up since he didn't like it.

And since I am SO JOBLESS, here:

It isn't clear since my brother crushed it in his little hands.

A masterpiece, ain't it?

AND

Saturday:

I went to school, came home, had a bath, went to a relative's house for a lunch party, then left with my family for some jewellery exhibition at the Expo Center in Sharjah (An emirate in UAE), came back home, started writing this. What a nice day.

Anyway, I gotta get some work and studies done SO...

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Weekend

Day 7 of the weekend.

I am SO SORRY. Really.

I can't post today, since I have school tomorrow, and I have LOADS of work to do within the next half hour. 

I PROMISE I'll yap A LOT tomorrow. I PROMISE.

Whatever.

Sam Frank.

The Fourth Week

Day 20 of the rest of the year.

I didn't have school today, so there is nothing school related to talk about.

BUT, I have ONCE AGAIN, wasted my day, DOING NOTHING. 

Though, I got my iPad and iPod back, so that's a plus. *YAY!*

I was just making an Islamic Presentation right now. Suddenly, I'm feeling VERY PARANOID about my exams. I don't know why, but I'm getting tensed. Pre-exam jitters.

I was KINDA down today, 'cuz we went out to some boring old mall, rather than a nice mall with a nice bookstore. 

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow though. We have a lunch party to attend at my aunt's house. And lunch parties are hectic. It goes on for hours. (For example, the party we had at our house last Friday.) But, our parties are NOTHING like normal parties. They're TOTALLY different. Some Middle-eastern people or Indians might know what I'm talking about. I'll probably yap about that tomorrow.

Only ONE topic today.

Where to rent good snowboards:

Is that SERIOUSLY a topic? Stupid-est topic ever.

Anyway, I don't know. I don't think we get snow boards in Dubai. WHY? Because it doesn't snow. I don't you get it in any sports shop at all here. Though, I think you might get some at Ski Dubai. It's a winter wonderland with real fake snow and winter activities in one of the malls in Dubai. But I think those snowboards are not for sale.

Sorry for the short post, but I gotta get some sleep or I'm gonna look like a bloated zombie with loads of mood swings tomorrow.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Fourth Week

Day 18 of the rest of the year.

EPIC day in school. HORRID day at tutoring.

I had a lot of fun with my friends today at school. I was having fun making jokes in my class group. (As in the people I have to sit with.) AND I had an EPIC time at Recess making up stories and jokes with Shwetha about, "The Dangers of Highlighters." (Highlighters are stationary objects you use to highlight important notes and points.) I had an AMAZING time today.

AND how much ever amazing time I had at school today, I'm sure I had that much of a terrible time at tutoring. I had another mock test on 4 chapters, and I was pressurized A LOT. I couldn't even keep myself in the test. I was just freaking out for some reason, and I'm sure I'm getting worse marks this time. I got 8.5 (It got corrected.) last time, and now, I'll probably get 5. I studied SO HARD, yet, it came crashing down on me like a thunderstorm. If I get below 10, I'm gonna be heartbroken. I swear I was gonna cry when I was writing my final answers. But my self-respect stopped me.

This has inspired me to study. YAY.

TOPIC TIME!

Fun things to do with your lunch:

1. EAT IT.

Television series which have gone bad:

Almost half the Disney shows. I don't like any. I ACTUALLY enjoyed Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana and other crap of Pre-2010 Disney era. They weren't horrid, but I like other shows SO MUCH better.

Other shows might be:

ALMOST ANY REALITY SHOW. Yep, I can't stand Keeping up with the Kardashians, (Like we're ACTUALLY interested. All we're interested in is watching your family tear apart.)

OR Jersey Shore. It's the most shittiest show on Earth. (Tanned bodies and boobs aren't gonna take you ANYWHERE, Snooki.) 

I thnk the only reality shows which make sense to me are probably The X Fcator, American Idol, and crap like that.

FINAL TOPIC!

Talking to people:

IS HARD. For me. I can be really free and hyper or annoying with my friends or classmates, but with almost any other people, I'm as quiet as a rock. AND I'm awkward too. What a BONUS. I don't know why I'm like that, but I'm like that.

Topic Time is done.

Anyway, I started writing THIS at probably 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM on Wednesday, and it is now 6:00 AM. On Thursday. (Seems familiar? Check this out: Click ME! )

WHY one might ask?

NOT because I was procrastinating. Because I was JUST LAZY.  

This is how my story goes:

My mom told me to put some (A LOT) clothes on the drying stand in balcony to keep it to dry. I didn't want to do that, so I went to sleep, not completing my blog post.

WHAT a BITCH I am. I feel sorry for my mum.

Well, I got to have breakfast now, I'm so hungry. Didn't have my dinner. 

Atleast I don't have school today. (As my school has given a day off today.) But, as the A-HOLES they (the school) are, we have half-day school on Saturday. JERKS.

Keep you posted later today.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.
