the hair issue

Sup dawg.

(I don't know why but lately i've been getting a lot of ghetto-disney princess feels inside of me. And also i don't know if people still use that 'sup dawg' intro...meh.)

SO! Holiday's over, it means that i've gone back to school for about a month and i'm still in that i'm-still-not-over-holiday phase. Which is bad. Oh, and a lot of things have happened since then. (like, a-lot a lot.) To catch up with my life, here are the majority of things that happened since last month :

• finally finished watching friends s10. and i dont know what to do with my life anymore.
• made some new friends at my new class, which is ten times better than last year
• done a rain dance and prayer circle simultaneously because of 1d's world tour next year. dont judge please.
• got over alex-alexa. <-- this took 1 year. ONE, YEAR. okay.
• got someone's heart broken
• performed a 7 minutes long and english speech in front of +800 people and almost peed my pants  lol jokes
• experienced cold feet and brain freeze for the very first time in my life

Point no 5 is yes, as bad as it sounds. I still feel really bad for it, somehow. I mean it affects me in some ways too. Not to mention that it didn't end too well... but it's not going to change anything anyway. It's been a month since that happened but we're both over it. :)

Enough with the sad things, did i mention that i've dyed my hair black again? If it's a yes, ugh. If it's not, i'm going to write a paragraph about it, and i choose not. So about a month ago i dip-dyed my hair red and i, am, in, love, with my hair. I even questioned myself for being more in love with my hair than idk, everything. And then school came and as much as i hate to do it, i've dyed my hair black again.

Your reaction 

(that's one sh*tty paragraph but it's still not over bro. And, This might not sound like a big deal to you but trust me, it is. It's like the end of an era. And just for the record, i can pull a red!)

Before i explain the tragedy, i might as well do this thing ...chronologically. Pause. I just typed a long and hard word and i don't even need to check if it's right or not (just in case). Good job, self! I deserve myself a medal.

So! Long story short, i took my mom to watch The Amazing Spiderman 3 times last month. (Because as you probably know, i've loved Andrew Garfield since Boy A.) And those 3 times are enough to made my mom fell in love with Gwen Stacy's hair. Not Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy. 

And then days later, Mom wanted to do this thing with her hair and so she drove me to the salon. The next thing i knew is that she encouraged me to cut this beautiful hair i've grown since January. January. I repeat, January. January people. January. I didn't pay attention much and i thought it was going to be great and i don't know that what Mom was trying to say is that i should've cut my bangs. As i was about to run and abort mission, this guy just came along and cut my bangs. With a razor. And i sat there, devastated. Now everytime i look into the mirror i see this sad sad girl, with them sad sad eyes. Prayer circle for marsha.

My reaction

My bangs are still pretty thick since i cut it and people are still joking around and everytime they see me they'll be like, "What do you have in there?" and i'll be like "a gun". As much as i hate to accentuate (hey 2 hard words in a row! Good day today.) it, i'll just cover it with a headband situation. But i still think...... i look good. ew hahaha jokes guys, jokes.

Almost forgot, I have this theory that if you cut your hair it means that you're going to get good luck for the next few days (and look like a british man). Well, f you too.

So anyway~ July was a fun month nonetheless, i had lots of laugh going on and hopefully August will be as good as July was. Or better.

OH and thank you to all of you new readers!!! The traffic's increasing so hello to you! As a gift to you and to know how i feel about this, please accept and enjoy this unnecessary gif of my soon-to-be husband :

i'm audi, peasants

1. What band has inspired you the most?
- I can say Arctic Monkeys but i'm pretty sure The Drums has inspired me in a lot of ways possible too. It's not just their music that inspires me a lot but it's also how they manage all the fame that they're getting and not letting it in into their heads. They're really down to earth and they seem to have this really great personality.

2:What/who got you into the music you listen to now?
- Movie soundtracks mostly and of course, my brother. And kak Cass also! It all started when I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind like a year ago, and as soon as it finished i rushed off into my laptop and googled the soundtrack. I did the same when i watched 500 days of Summer later that year.

3:Is music a big part of your life?
- You have no idea how big it is. Music is a really really big part of my life; i live in a family where you listen to music like 24/7. No, literally. Mum is an enormous fan of jazz    so basically i guess that affects all of my family members. As far as i could remember, mum blasts Earth, Wind & Fire or George Benson through her jbl speaker almost every night so that explains everything.

I learned to play piano when i was 4 and things just kinda went from there. Like i used to sing at the school's choir (but i don't anymore.) and a lot of other things. Music has always been there for me, sad, happy, whatever. Remember amateur's feeling - porcelain raft from last post? There you go.

4:How many concerts have you been to?
- Let's see uhm, P!ATD, Paramore, Katy Perry. I couldn't watch MGMT and the whitest boy alive and the drums because i'm still underage. :( OH! I went to watch Sondre Lerche last year on a jazz festival. Does that count?

5:What is the favorite merch item you’ve ever purchased?
- Beatles mug! I almost bought their lunchbox but i bought elmo instead. (enter plot twist?)

6:Who is your favorite musician/band?
- easy, Arctic Monkeys. And phoenix! Ugh that band is really really underrated by the way.

7:What song do you listen to when you’re sad?
- Luna by Smashing Pumpkins (acoustic version). This song has some kind of a personal memory for me, so it never fails to make me cry. Or maybe stuck in the puzzle by Alex Turner because it's a great song.

DON'T JUDGE but i listened to justin bieber's be alright yesterday and it hit me. (Only God can judge me.)

8:What song do you listen to when you’re mad?
- Any song by the arctic monkeys to be honest. It has some weird sense that could soothe me.

9:What song do you listen to when you’re pissed off?
- Family by The Cast of Cheers. I can't explain why, because the lyrics don't really match up with the situation but if you listen to the song you'll get it.

10:Have you ever moshed?
- No but i've seen one live on paramore's concert last year.

11:CD’s or iTunes?
- Vinyls. iTunes!

12:What is your favorite album? Why?
- My favorite album... i can't choose between Portamento by The Drums or Parachutes by Coldplay Or In Rainbows by Radiohead.

I kinda go with Portamento, though. It still has a bit of similarity from their first self-titled album, but portamento is just amazing. Jonny has this smiths-like tune on Money and all of the songs are ridiculously catchy, somehow. The lyrics are insanely bitter but i can relate to it because it's written by a teen's perspective.

13:Who is the funniest band/band member you know?
- Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. Funniest band? The Lonely Island......haha.

14:What band has the best lyrics?
- COLDPLAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! And i like best coast as well. But she & him has this really cute lyrics that makes me want to cuddle in a bundle of joy and puke rainbows.

15:How has music helped you?

- Music has helped me in a lot of ways. For example, last year it helped me through the toughest moment, and just by listening to it or playing it on an instrument made me feel better--which is weird.
