Let's believe what we want to hear

The sun's harsh rays have burned my back. The redness will fade and it will look like a good tan. Though tanning of any sort is not good for your skin, it feels great to be under the sun. Summer is the only time when I can gain some colour in my skin. I'm so pale, my friend calls me albino. THANKS FRIEND.

My surgery is on Tuesday. I'm so nervous, it's my first surgery. I'm getting ACL reconstruction surgery, which I was to get 3 years ago; better late than never. I'm being quite optimistic despite my pessimistic personality. The glass is always half empty as apposed to half full.

I need to get a job. Right after my surgery I am going to submit my resume and hopefully work on weekends during the school year. My year is going to be packed. With a full schedule, clubs and hopefully jazz band I will have no time to breathe. I'm being a drama queen, yes I am indeed exagerating. I've always said
"What's life without a challenge?" I stick by it. I never take the easy route, because in life there is no easy route.

My friend Bertie, (click on her name to be linked to her blog) said the absolute most funniest thing to me today. I'm not going to give all the details (because it is a conversation between her and I) but she told me "if everyone starts being asian i'm gonna go learn spanish" haha it was amazing I loved it. Yes Bertie I gave you a shout out! Haha :D

Let's just say, I'm new

Say goodbye to the old Dea, and say hello to the new one. Though the only thing different are my hair and glasses (I picked them up today!) I look like a different person and I have a different outlook on life. I've had an epiphany and I thank Life in a day for it. Today July 24th is the day to film a day in your life and submit it to the directors youtube channel. If your raw footage is chosen it will be used in the documentary movie July 24th, it will aire on youtube. I was contemplating whether or not to contribute to this. In the end I decided not to, because I didn't want to contribute in the movie. If my footage didn't make in the movie, it would have stayed on the channel, and well I didn't want that. There are other ways to let my voice be heard in the world.

My very first post was about how much I'd love to rant. Well guess who's rant is going to be published in a newspaper? Me haha! I can't disclose what I am ranting about, so it'll be a surprise!

My plan of the day was to fix my tan, and no luck there! I managed to finish 5 sudoku puzzles, yes I am that kind of person haha.

I'm going to edit my article now, until tomorrow!

O Sole Mia

I spent the day with my family at Fishcreek today. Oh the memories that will forever haunt me; on the plus side I got to sleep in :)
My father and I decided to go on our walk at Fishcreek, we were both wearing sandals and clothing that was not meant for exercise. I brought along my brother's ipod to listen to. While walking with my intensely cool Polaroid sunglasses and my Indiana Jones hat from Australia I listened to one of my absolute favorite songs, Time To Pretend, by the Über talented band, MGMT. The song finishes and I ask my dad if he wants to listen to Pavarotti, he nods his head and I switch the song to O Sole Mia.

I am lucky to have a dad who has a love for art and truely knows how to appreciate it. If it wasn't for him, I would never have been able to learn and experience the art that the legendary Luciano Pavarotti created.

I blasted the music as loud as the panasonic headphones allowed me too, as soon as Pavarotti began to sing my father burst out into grand theatrics. I joined him, I could care less that there were 2 ladies walking behind us; we were there at the park for ourselves not for them. Whenever I listen to Pavarotti I feel this energy that I've never felt before, he inspires me to be great. I am saddened by his death but he is a legend, and legends live forever.

Today was a very fun day, full of laughs, mosquito bites, bad tans and theatric singing.
