Chocolate covered brandy filled cherries. Yum.

Hello all.
So, if you're bright you might have caught on that I only blog on weekends because i can't access blogging sites from school.
If you're dim however its all explained above.
Whatever. I had an english exam today. It went fine.
I'm really bored.
And i've just eaten 3 absolutely beautiful chocolate covered brandy filled cherries and feel like more but i know i shouldn't so i'm not going to.
I just had some lemon cake that was almost equally as beautiful as the chocolate cov......- you get the drift.
It tastes like lemon meringue pie, which is great because i love the taste of lemon meringue pie but i hate the texture of the lemon part.
But i adore the meringue part.
So ideally i would have lemon cake topped with meringue.
Though normally i don't like the flavour of lemon in anything else than:
lemon juice squeezed onto my thin pancakes (crepes??) with sprinkled sugar ontop
or
lemon meringue pie
or
the lemon cake .
I hate:
lemon jelly beans
and
lemon sweets
and
lemon jelly
and and
lemon jelly babies
and
lemon wine gums
and
lemon lemon tea.
Speaking of fruit teas i get these gorgeous fruit teas. My favorite flavour is the strawberry vanilla- its divine. Raspberry rendezvous is quite good aswell. Oh and the peach one is delicious too.
Back to lemons- i like a squeeze of lemon in my juice.
And i like that lemon dressing my mum makes for prawns.
Super fresh prawns. If they aren't super fresh, as in come out of a packet i'd probably break out in humongous itchy red hives, which is what happened last time.
So i stick to Mr. Wu's phreshly caught prawns. Mr. Wu is our prawn guy at the market who sells us the only prawns i will eat without the fear of breaking out in humongous itchy red hives. That was a bad bad bad day.
After stuffing my face with chocolate cove...- you get the drift, lemon cake and tons of blueberries and- not to mention dinner i am very very very full up. My skirt feels too tight. My school skirt that is. I don't wear any other skirts other than school skirts and only because i am forced to.
Speaking of school uniforms, Lana- could you post a picture of you in your uniform pleeeeeaaaaaseee?

Oh my god. The weather here is terrible!
Yesterday we had 80mph, (thats like over 120khm/h!!!!!! )winds! It was riduculously amazingly terribly strong. And right now, as i type the winds is banging up against the windows and its really loud and.. scary. Because i'm all on my own.
Granny and grandad are watching tv in the next room.
TeeHee I'm not really on my own.
Oh! The other day we had sleet!! Yes its trueee. For all of you dimwits who (maybe) read my blog sleet is a mixture of rain and snow.
And according to some peoples, we are expecting snow on Monday and Tuesday and hail on Sunday. Oooooey.
It snowed in Scotland like 2 days ago.
I don't think it will snow here. We don't really get much snow.
We get rain. Lots and lots and lots of rain.
I'm really lucky though because 9 people have already died because of the storms, none of which in Northern Ireland-the worst NI have gotten so far are power cuts. To tell you the truth i'm kind of freaked out.
Oh well.
Twiddle Dee Twiddle Dum.

Well its taken me about 5 hours in total to write this post as i've been coming and going and coming and going..
Haha so before this turns into a PhD, i will end it.
Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
And now you're like, Duh Sarina, the world is spherical it has no corners.
But heres news for you- I don't care.
I'll say corner if i want to.
And you might get pictures next week.
If you're lucky.
I'm just busy right now.
Sort of.
Muahahahahhahaha.
Okay just felt like doing that.
I'm calling Lana tomorrow!
For freee!
I love Post Office!
Thats who gives me free calls to Aussie.
Duh.
Lots of Love
From the girl who you both love to hate and hate to love at the same time,
also known as
Sarina
xoxoxoxooxxooxoxooxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxx
Hopefully thats enough hugs and kisses to do you all.
I miss my mummy and daddy with a lot of passion.
I miss all my friends aswell.
And my dogs.
And all my soft toys i had to leave behind due to lack of space.
And the warm weather.
But don't worry-I am a happy person.
And while I am deprived of so much-
I get my one and only special sister, Jazz.
Blueberries. Strawberries. Raspberries.
Chocolate covered brandy filled cherries.
Lemon cake.
Muller Corners.
And a proper education.
So LIFE IS DANDY.
:)
I love how content i am.
I just became really happy.
A sudden gush of happiness has come over me.
I love life.

Loook! Disco Lights!

First weekend back from boarding and i bet you are soooooo excited to hear about it!
If not, please leave. Right now. Like, NOW.
Thank you, know that we have picked out the weavels we can proceed.
I have just realised how gay i am. I'm completely upright utterly LAME. But thats me and if you don't like me then please leave. Right now. Like, NOW.
I told you?
Anyway since you stuck around at question one it means you wanted to know about my whole first week of school.
So, lets start with day one.
Day One
I trotted into school, got recognised as 'Jazz's wee sister' about a million times. I followed Becky around to all her classes as they haven't got a timetable for me yet. Em so after explaining my whole story of
'I'm new and i'm just following Becky around until they have my timetable. No i'm not definitly in this class. Sarina, thats S-A-R-I-N-A. Surname? Em ***** ******(censored for privacy purposes)' about a billion times i got home.
Well next door.
Boarding.
My new half home. We had a curry sort of thing for dinner. Watched a couple movies with Alba and Becky and went to sleep. Splendid.
Day Two
This is when it starts to go slightly wrong. I wake up feeling very queasy and stupidly decide to stupidly skip breakfast.
Got into school, first lesson was ITC, thats computer class and i was still feeling reallly poorly. And then next thing i knew it i puked. All over the floor. All infront of everyone. So theres me, incredibly shooken up, Becky who's almost equally as shooken up. And the whole class who was um surprised? All of which reacted differently im sure. I didnt stick around to watch them, so i wouldnt know.
Oh yes, it was also Becky's birthday that day.
And she had to deal with me. So she rushed me back to boarding and i started crying because everything was just going wrong and i felt horrible.
So i went downstairs to ask for an apple after i'd cool down slightly. And i talked to the matron and i had a mini breakdown as i like to call it because it was my mummy's last day here and everything. And so matron told me to call mummy and have her pick me up and i could have a day with her, and i could even SPEND THE NIGHT WITH HER. Which is exactly what i did and i am so happy it turned out that way.
So i had the greatest day with mum and jazz and went back to boarding the next morning...
Day Three
Went smoothly.
Almost chucked up in Art

but i didn't. Thank god for that. And that was it. Katy got back that night so i got to properly meet her, she's lovely.
Day Four
Went smoothly. In boarding me Becky and Alba were like super hyper so that was fun.
I packed up and i was ready to go home.
Day Five
HALF DAY! Its trueeeee! So i got to go home at lunch time. Like home home, like granny's house home! So that was great.
----------------------------------------------------------------
And thats it. Today would be Day Six i serposeeee. Which was rather boring as it involves me being a complete nerd and spendind the day infront of the computer. EXCEPT when i called Lana :)
That was lovely.
And whoever thought of calling cards was a real smart one i tell you :)

So, life is dandy. Dandy dandy dandy i tell you. Though the winds here have been ghastly. Or ghustly. Hahahaha do you get it? Gust? Like Gust of wind?
Nevermind.
I thought it was funny anyway.
But seriously they almost knocked me off my feet on the way home from school yesterday. It was quite scary if you ask me. And it was raining cats and dogs today.
Craziest rain I've ever seen in N Ireland. Ofcourse its nothing compared to the tropical storms we get down in Sarawak but thats a whole different story.
Oh! And theres this lovely song i want you to listen to
I love you by The Ordinary Boys.
I know this is like Lana's thing but you see it just came on and I really like it. So i thought

I loove youuu You know that, don't you, I loooove you.

Thats part of the song dumbo. I dont actually love you. Stupid.

Oh and also Rehab by Amy Winehouse.

Its quite good too.
And we've all seen Pete Doherty on the news getting into trouble all the time haven't we? Check out his music-its quite okay, The Libertines.

And also the Kooks. Props to Jazz to interoducing me to the Ze Libertines and Ze Kooks.

Oh and you should watch Take The Lead, the movie its quite alright. Lana you'd like it- its about ballroom dancing.

Oh, and you should try 'Eat Natural' 'Simply Delicious'yoghurt coated almond and apricot bars because they're
"Luxurious bars
full of premium
quality ingredients
...and nothing else"
Thats what it says on the box. They're granola bars basically that taste absoloutely divine. (Go to www.eatnatural.co.uk to find out more)

And to drink- Cranberry and Rasperry Innocent smoothie because they're absoloutely divine aswell. You can also try their fruity Spring Water. (Go to www.innocentdrinks.co.uk to find out more)
:)
I'm such a nerd.
And proud of it.

As for biscuity things Cheese and Bacon Baked Not Fried Shapes!
Yummmmmmmmy.

And for cheese I'd say Smiletown Brie. Gorgeous stuff.

Ice Cream- Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough is the best!
Unless you can get fresh sorbet, then go for that!

And for plain chocolate- Galaxy.

And for body wash- Watermelon, from Boots. With a special hook so that you can hang it up in your shower.

Hair Mousse- TRESemme.

Marks and Sparks do excellent Ready Salted crinckle cut Crisps.

And lastly, gum- Big Red. Its delicious. Yummy. Scrumptious.

And now- as much fresh fruit as you can get because thats really good for you. Lots and lots of fresh, preferably organic, fresh fruit to keep you healty. And plenty of water too. Plain water, to drink ofcourse?

Okay now that you know how to live like me i can go and have a peaceful sleep while my sister is out partying her booty off. :)

Lots of love to all of you who got through the chunk of text above without any hiccups.
xoxoxoxooxoxoxooxooxxoxxooxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxox

I'm in a lovey mood right now.

Greetings.

oh my god!
it took SO long to get back on again...How annoying.
Actually to tell you the truth, it was my fault.
I was stupid.
And couldnt log in.
Temporary mind-block.
You know.

Now. Lets get to it. Its the night before i go into captivy, also known as boarding and i am feeling very nervous indeed. Like shaking nervous. Like extremely queasy nervous. Like accelerated heart beats nervous. Like cold shiver nervous. But then i think- i shouldn't be. I mean it isn't jail. I'll be seeing my sister everyday. I'll get to phone home whenever i like. I'm allowed to go out during the week. I'll be with a bunch of girls who will also be deprived of their parents, some even without any family atall in the country. So i'm quite lucky really. I have bought beautiful quilt and sheets, black sheets with an awesome black and white duvet. Which i can't wait to try out. So maybe I'm OK. Hmm.. We shall see, i will keep you posted.
Now i shall bore you with an account of my holiday in Donegal(In the Republic of Ireland, ACTUAL Ireland as i like to call it). I was there for like 4 nights i think, and Jazz's friend Tom came along.. My uncle Brian stayed for 2 nights aswell which was nice.
We rented a cottage. Let me paint you a picture. On a farm, cows to our left, black pony right infront, ducks to our right and sheep down the road. It was beautiful. We had a lovely fireplace which for the first couple days Tom lit for us, then on the last we managed on our own and in my opinion produced a splendid fire.

Anyway, while we were there we went to a couple of beaches. And even though it was like under 10 degrees (celcius) we still took our shoes and socks of and ran in the water. It was freeeeezing! But lovely all the same. There was really high winds and it was lovely. Me, Mum, Tom and Jazz found this cute little pub called the Hi Da Way. And that became our regular pub for everynight. One night a bunch of men chatted up my mum and even bought us a free round of drinks (a coke for me ofcourse)... They were very drunk it was hilarious. On thursday we decided to go to a different pub for irish music which was really cool aswell. The people we were renting the house from had a gorgeous black puppy which came round to our house a couple times. It was sooo cute i wanted to bring it home. Well anyway that was our trip in Donegal. When we drove back there was a huge storm, gail forced winds which almost blew me off the road which was scary. But we're back safe and sound! Heres some random pictures.



A rainbow we found, we could see the whole rainbow but it wouldn't fit in the frame of my camera!




Our neighbour, the cow.



If you look closely, the white dots are the sheep down the road.



The fireplace.



The pony across the road (with toms hand obstructing the view).


Merry Christmas! Forgot to say earlier i suppose and a Happy New Year. I'm going to call lana soon!!! YAY. I've already called Bre and Rauth and i tried Phoebe and Kiyoshi but no one picked up. :(
Anyway. Today I went Ice Skating. I love Ice Skating.. That was fun. There was a very cute guy skating at the same time aswell who distracted me tons of times, making me bump into random people.Whoops. I'm pathetic like that. ahahhhah
When i came home i slaved away at sewing 'Sarina' labels (its true, we got personalised labels hahaha) onto my clothes because i need to put my name on everything(including knickers), because im going into boarding. Its soooo annoying i want to cry.
But i wont. Im strong like that. Hah. Anyway i'm going to go now and see if i can get in touch with my BEST FRIEND!
Have a safe next couple days.
Be careful of the monkeys, the giraffes and most importantly the DUCKS.
Thank you.
