Budapest = Awesomness

So to start off with I went to Budapest last Thursday (or the Thursday before that... well, the 18th to make it all clear) and it was... well...

TOTALLY . FREAKING . AWESOME

It was my first time visiting Budapest or just Hungary in general and it is just.amazing. I went on tour there with my band (well, my teacher's band really... I'm just part of the band) and it was just.amazing.again. We stayed there three nights and played in three locations. The first was at a retirement home that was very welcoming except that we didn't sound so good... The room was weird and kinda scooped up all the sounds that our band made making it sound blank and iffy... To add to that, most of the audience seem to have forgotten how to smile and/or applause. Now, I love old people, but when you are playing a solo and there is literally not a single person smiling or that looks like they're somewhat enjoying themselves, you feel like your going to choke on your own breath and fall into a dark hole that magically appeared under your feet and no one would care. Sorry for the long sentence... But it's true. And terrifying... But mostly true. Another problem was that we couldn't play too loud because otherwise they would lose the little hearing they had left. But other from all that, it was a very enjoyable experience! Also on that day we were supposed to eat some traditional food at the market (it has a very complicated name and I can't remember it but I think it sounded a bit like pRUndaVicatIOna. What is my life... ) but there was an accident on the road that made us really late which therefore meant we had to buy food at TESCO. Yes, for all British people, they have TESCO in Budapest. Random. The worst part though was that we had to buy/eat it all in ten minutes because the bus driver didn't want us to eat on the bus. I had a bit of a stomach ache after that... And to conclude this first day, we went on a very lovely cruise down the Danube. It was very enjoyable. Yes, very. Just fyi, two of my friends got holes in their trousers from sitting on a nail. That was probably the most enjoyable part of the cruise!

(Don't judge me as a creeper who takes pictures of people's butts, they wanted me to take a picture so that they could see how the hole was. There. End of story.)

BUT LET'S MOVE ON CAUSE THIS IS GETTING VERY LONG....

So, the next day we did some sight seeing in the center of Budapest (I am so sorry but I can't remember if it was Buda or Pest... Our tour guide was not the most entertaining or interesting so I ended up paying more attention to a pigeon eating crumbs than her talking about... I don't know what.) in the mourning and then we got 5 HOURS (Yes I really just typed 5 HOURS) of free time!!! I felt so independent.

Me feeling independent

We had the choice between going to the baths or just walking around town and we decided to just hangout in town. I know that baths are apparently INCREDIBLE and blah blah blah but I forgot my swimsuit at the hotel... aaaaaaaaaand I wanted to hang out with my friends. So, as a group we decided that we try some nice traditional food because the day before we had to live with chips and dry bread. During that process something somehow went wrong and we ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe. Is there a law of physics that can explain this gravitational pull towards this ridiculously expensive restaurant? We all shared some nachos as a starter and then I took a salad of which I cannot remember the name.

Nachos are Yum

I do remember there was avocado and chicken in it though... I also remember that after a few bites my fanta didn't taste sweet anymore. That made a me a little worried. Another worrying thing was that I only ate about an eighth of the plate before I was full... AND IT WAS A SALAD?!?!? I felt so bad when the waitress took back our plates, all of my friends had finished their meals. All of that independence and maturity I felt a while back? Not there anymore. We also all shared a cheesecake with caramel on top. My friend Liam asked if the waitress could cut it into four so we could share. Thankfully I had some sense in my brain to ask for four spoons instead. Good job Liam, good job.

Next stop we did something very Hungarian, caricatures! I know right!?! So Hungarian. But it was fun! Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it yet so you'll have to wait a while. After that we went to this reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally cool fountain that was a square and would stop when you went near it. It was so awesome. My friends Poppy and Liam got soaked though, they purposely ran/jumped (90% of the time they jumped through the fountain but we didn't tell them that...)  across and they were dripping wet for the rest of the day. Here is a video of me defying the water:

Soon I will become like this

Oh! Look at this awesome picture I took of my friend sitting on water

From that point on we'd decided to go visit something interesting, and we did! Starbucks! (Why did I even bother coming to this country?!?!) BUT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! We ended up going there because I needed the bathroom and to get to the bathroom you need to buy something to get the code for the bathroom. Complicated, I know. But since we had to buy something three of us ordered drinks and the other got a snack (my friend Thomas if you must know). We had a bit of fun when ordering because we renamed ourselves on the cups (I know everyone does but c'mon, this thing never gets old). I called myself Feta (like feta cheese but the cheese part would have been too long), Poppy named herself Opium and Liam named himself G-Dragon. Thomas said that if he had named himself he would have been called Merlin, which is awesome.

Feta - Opium - G Dragon
Unfortunately the waitress had really bad handwriting...

We lingered in Starbucks for a really long time spending it by taking pictures with the timer on my camera. We had soooooooo much fun but the WHOLE time there was this woman just staring at us like a bunch of bafoons (we did look a bit crazy, I must admit BUT STILL! HOW RUDE!)

After Starbucks we didn't have any time left so we joined our group and headed of to the Conservatory of Musicology or something like that... We ended playing in the room where Bartok HIMSELF composed and played all his songs. One of our players actually played on HIS PIANO for one of the songs in the concert (I'm proud to say that I did touch the piano and it was just.amazing.)

This is Bartok

We played SO WELL in that concert I was so proud! It was our biggest gig and the acoustics were INCREDIBLE! It was actually kind of emotional :')

BUT THE NEXT DAY

We went to a castle and they organised a medieval tournament for us which was E.P.I.C. Literally incredible. The actors were amazingly talented and hilarious! (here's a video)

Then there was me...

I know. I'm so talented.

BTW the king is my PE teacher Coach V (Since then called King V) and the one on the torture chair is a guy called Izzet in our band who plays trombone. Later that day we had a concert in the castle which was just. amazing. Really, we played outside in this courtyard where our music could be heard through the whole village! It was also a lot of fun because we didn't have to wear concert clothes and it was just a nice laid back concert. The only problems were that it was like thirty degrees Celsius and the wind kept on blowing our music off our stands! After that concert EVERYBODY was sun-burnt except for me. I don't tan (never have and probably never will at the rate it's going) which really sucks. To be honest I wanted to get a little burnt so that I could show off to my friends about how nice the weather was :3 But that obviously didn't happen.

Later that day some professional musicians and dancers came to our hotel and put up a performance just for our band. I think it was probably one of the highlights of the trip because that evening everybody felt like family. The musicians (two violinists, one viola and a base) played traditional folkloric music which was just. amazing. The lead violinist played so fast his fingers were a blur to the naked eye. He also mimicked bird chants on his violin which was epicly cool and impressive. The dancers (two men, two women) danced to their music and they were almost as incredible as the musicians. They have this weird dance were they're always jumping around and hitting their boots making a sort of rhythm to the music. They also started to sing along with the music in certain songs. At one point only the female dancers were dancing and they were both balancing bottles of juice on their heads. Even physicians wouldn't be able to explain how those bottles stayed put during all that dancing! Finally at the very end they invited people from our band to dance with them in a circle. This was THE MOST HILARIOUS thing I had ever seen! All of these people that I knew dancing a dance which looks quite ridiculous MADE MY DAY! (or the rest of it since it was evening) Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me so I couldn't take any pictures or videos :( I seriously regret not bringing it. 

FINALLY on the last day we went to visit the small island in the middle of the Danube. We had about two or three hours of free time to visit as much as possible and eat a decent meal before our plane ride. We all decided to go visit the labyrinth and that was a very big mistake. Obviously the moment we got it everybody decided to split up so that it was impossible to find the rest of our group. I managed to get out alive with my friends Thomas, Daniel and Freidi (who was originally in a different group) perplexed on where the others could be. We tried to call the rest of our group but the labyrinth is underground so there was no signal.

We decided to abandon them.

MOVING ON, we met up with our friend Poppy because she didn't want to go into the maze of death and desperation - which was intelligent of her - and we all went for lunch in a nearby restaurant. I remember  that Thomas and I took chicken paprikash with dumplings. I also remember Thomas asking where the dumplings were when they actually turned out to be a sort of mix between pasta and rice. We both looked like complete idiots.

What we were expecting

What we got

They didn't taste bad though. They were actually really good! (pat on the back for me for not being a complete fail) After all that drama it was time to leave (we almost missed the bus because we had to go to the bathroom) and fly off on our plane. Which was half enjoyable because I don't like planes but I did like chatting with some friends. To end this post, here is the last picture taken on the trip.

           

Missing some Fingers...

I'm sure that all of you have at least one or twice felt like your toes or fingers were going to fall off from the cold. Well, multiply that by ten over a time period of approximately two days. Painful. Very very painful. Over the last weekend I went on an International Award hike (here's something that might help you if you don't know what it is: click here). It was so much fun and a great experience except that my fingers felt as if they could be snapped off if you bent them too much. Now, before you go thinking "But why didn't you bring gloves?" I did. I brought a pair of ski gloves which were nice and war, except for the fact that I brought two left hands.

 

*Biggest face palm man kind has ever or will ever encounter*

 

Luckily I was not the only form of stupidity on the campsite that day; my friend Athena made exactly the same problem except with right hands so we switched gloves. The next problem was that her gloves were not really fit for camping. They were really nice and everything (I know that Athena will be reading this so I can't say any monstrosities on her gloves) but they were everything but warm. Also, I'm right handed so I had to constantly take my glove off to clip things in, zip things up (By the way, there are probably a thousand zips and clips on one camping bag, no kidding! My hands were somehow shedding tears by the end of and hour) or use it for cooking and other chores. So, even if the glove was warm, it never came to any use because I was taking it on and off every few minuets and/or seconds. This all resulted in my hand growing double its size. Literally. My nice, thin, elegant hands turned into a plate of egg and sausages. So, not only could I not use my fingers at the end of the day, but they wouldn't fit into my glove properly. I would have to ask my friend Jiwon to zip up my coat or even squeeze me fat fingers into my glove. I felt utterly useless by the end of the day which is not a nice feeling. I think I'v been scarred for life because every time my fingers feel cold, in my head I'm thinking "NO! It's comming back to get me and kill me alive! There is no escape! Run for your lives fingers! Run for your lives!"

 

You want to know what I blame this on? I blame this all on the earth thinking it's OK to snow in the middle of March! I understand that snow if fun and pretty and pure, (at the beginning, not when it's melting) but right now I think that most of us humans agree that WE NEED SPRING TO ARRIVE! (My fingers are nodding their heads right now... if they have heads... I don't know...) I need to feel the warmth from the sunshine and the buds starting to sprout. I know that I will regret this later but I even want the flies to come back and do their annoying buzzing sounds! And I want the mosquito's to kill my skin with itchy red spots! I WANT SPRING! I'm sick of all this snow and cold wind and everything else that starts with a c and rhymes with -old.

 

So after all this complaining I think it's time to put an end to this post. I'm sure that most of you have the same opinion as me regarding the cold, but if we all unite as one WE CAN DEFEAT IT! AS A TEAM, AND AS A FAMILY! OK, too far, but still, I think we could defeat it... somehow. Let me brainstorm on that...

Give Us a Spin!

Hey guys! So coming up in my life is the middle school prom (I bet most of you who are older than me are going "Laaaaame. High school prom is sooooo much better!" and all others who are younger or the same age as me are going "OMGOMGOMGOMG! This is so exciting!!") and - I think that I'm speaking for all girls here - the dress might me one of the most exciting parts of the whole event. Now personally, I am a bit of a tomboy which means that it is literally THE HARDEST THING to find... EVER. I really really really want to wear a dress (because I am not a complete tomboy, you might say I'm a hybrid...) but I haven't liked ANY dresses I've seen so far! All of my friends have theirs and I'm in my corner rocking myself back and forth thinking If I don't get a move on, I'm going to be going to Prom in a dirty sweater and jeans! This thought terrifies me. Not really, but it makes it sound more dramatic... Anyway, so I talked to my mom the other day about this HUGE crisis that's happening in my life right now (because finding a dress for prom is way more important than exams. Totally.) and she suggested making my own. This might sound quite expensive or whatnot but according to my mom, it would be cheaper than buying a dress (in Europe, everything is ridiculously expensive. Especially clothes) and it would be the perfect size. It would be completely unique (none of that awkwardness when somebody has the same dress as you), there would be nothing that I don't like about it (because I designed it myself) and I can choose the fabric so that it will be nice and comfortable! So here are the designs I drew, they're different colors because I don't know which one to pick... The girl I drew looks like me (with slightly redder hair because I like red heads :3 ) so please leave a comment on what you think about it and which color you prefer... Can't make up my mind!!!!

Freebies and Background Problems...

So, here are 2 announcements:

1. About two days ago I made a really cool background for my blog and it worked perfectly fine but then I changed it to see if another background worked and ever since then my blog has been annoying me and my background doesn't show up. Here'e the problem. Whenever I put the CSS code for my background in the HTML gadget in layout the background still won't come up. It works when I put a background that I downloaded but not mine. The code's not wrong because I managed to make it work a few days ago and it looked fine... PLEASE HELP if you know how to fix this!! I don't like my blog looking so blank :'(

2. I found out how to make backgrounds for blogs (as you may have noticed in the first paragraph) and am planning to make more and give them away for free! I'm going to make a new page called Freebies where you'll be able to download my backgrounds on your very own blog! This will probably come out when I fix my background problem which may or may not take a lot of time... Also, there might not be many to start off with (2 or 3 most probably) but I will be adding more over time. If any of you have any suggestions for backgrounds I could do, please leave a comment below!

Here's a sneak peak at some backgrounds that will be coming out soon, I'm still editing them so that they will fit better into your blog.

The Rain Cat

Cookie Bunny

Christmas 2012

So I am finally going to write this post that I think a lot of you have been waiting for... I know, it's already 2013... I'M SORRY! I'm horrible at staying on schedule. I think I should add that as one of my resolutions... I am also a huge procrastinator... ANYWAY here it is:

22nd of December - Prep Day

Daaaaaah!!! Everything is so hectic in this house that you would think you're running a marathon!! Neither of us have eaten a proper meal in the last three days because my Dad doesn't want us eating the ingredients in the fridge and my Mum has been running all around the house vacuuming each room at least five times per day! I feel like I'm not doing anything at all because 

A) My Dad gave me the lovely job of decorating the house ( I looooooved this idea ) but over the week he has forbidden me to decorate certain places of the house before the whole house was off limits to me decorating. That really annoyed me. 

B) My Dad (once again) doesn't want help in cooking because ( in his mind ) I m an immature child who throws food and cuts myself every time I am a meter away from a blunt knife. 

C) I can't just sit down and relax because I am immediately told off by my parents that I'm not doing anything and 

D) Every time I try and help my parents tell me to do something else and get out of their way. It's hard being a teenager. 

Anyway, enough of me whining, let's get back on track. I finally found something to do which was making the first batch of Christmas cookies! With my Mum we decided to make some sugary shortbread biscuits in my brand new gingerbread men mold that I had bought at the Christmas market a few days back. The recipe came from a small book containing recipe's that only had "La Vache Qui Rit" in them. Unfortunately we only had Emmental flavored Vache Qui Rit in our fridge ( *face palm* ) so it added an... interesting flavor. We also added some speculoos crumbs into our biscuits to try and hide the Emmental flavor... When the mixture was done, I hastily stuffed the mold and put it n the freezer so that it could set. I was now, once more, left with nothing to do. I ended up watching TV until the cookies were ready and I dropped all of them and they ALL broke *sad face*. So that's pretty much what happened that day. 

23rd of December - The journey begins! 

On the 23rd my Grandma arrived alone just before lunch and we almost immediately went out to lunch all together to the very refined french restaurant just up the road. We all ordered mussels and fries with alternate sauces and the adults then took a small coffee. When we arrived home we sat and chatted and ate some delicious holiday chocolates (mmm! This time of ear is when they taste the best!). Time passed a bit too quickly and we all realized that it was near the end of the day and there were still presents to be wrapped and cookies to be baked! We immediately took action and started with the cookies. It was exactly the same recipe (yippee, more cheddar tasting cookies) except we had the help of my grandma. Which helped. A LOT. But anyway, while the cookies were cooking we did some speed wrapping and ribbon tying. I would say that out of ten our efficiency and speed put together were a nine and a half. It was as if an elf had come in and wrapped our presents (because everybody knows that elves are amazing at wrapping presents). The cookies were ready and I had the right mind to ask somebody else to take the cookies out of the oven and obviously they didn't drop it (I'm such a clutz). By the end of all that we were all pretty tired (except my Dad who spent his time quietly reading his book. *face palm*) and didn't wait long to go to bed

24th of December - HO HO HO and a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Before they arrived in the morning (which was at 11:00 am FYI) my grandma and I made a second quick batch of cookies so that there would be one each for each person. Luckily we finished them right before they (if you don't know who they are, scroll down and read 'Coming up...' ) arrived (by five minuets no kidding!) and it FINALLY felt like Christmas! I also found out the the unknown girlfriend is called Nada and she is from Thailand but lived in California most of her life and speaks mostly English but also knows some french (enough to communicate with others). She also has a talent for drawing which obviously pleased me. I shared my drawings with her and she commented on them and I was so happy!!! BUT let's get back to where we were, so my cousins overloaded me with their stories and adventures. Thao showed me a great drawing that he made on the train (I'm so proud!) and Thuan just kept talking about anything and everything. You can pretty much have a whole conversation with him if you nod occasionally and do "aaah" and "oooh" noises when it sounds like the end of the sentence. While my Dad was preparing lunch Nada and I decorated the cookies (unfortunately the second batch burnt a little so that looked like they had a good month under the sun) with various icing and decorations. We had an absolutely HUGE goose for lunch which we barely finished but did in the end thank to Pierre Axel who became our human trash can. The rest of the afternoon was slow and lazy (except for the two little ones who were somehow strong enough to carry the weight of their bellies). My Dad bought for the occasion a box of chocolates that was ameter long and about ten centimeters wide from this famous chocolate shop which I can't remember the name of... but we tried them out during our lazy period (we somehow found space deep inside our stomachs to store it)  and oh my word they were AMAZING!!! Truly amazing. When it started to get dark Pierre Axel, Nada, Thao, Thuan  and I went in the garden to light some candles. This was so that Santa could see our garden and know where we were. It was also to help land his sled since it's not always easy finding a parking spot on roof tops. It took several tries (about twenty I would guess) to get all four of them to stay alight all at the same time. The problem was that when we would start heading back to the house, one of them would just die and we would have to go all the way back and try to light it again. Finally we managed to light all of them (at least long enough for us to go back to the house) and convince Thuan that Santa had called Pierre Axel to tell him that he saw the lights and had saved the address on his GPS. Soon enough it was time for the two little ones to go to sleep after another HUGE meal and this was when things got a little more exciting. Everybody went to get their presents out of their bags and in total there was a mountain of wrapped presents waiting to be revealed! We randomly placed them under the tree which made it look stunning. I then took my Dad's crocks and made mud footprints from the garden, into the house, around the tree and back (unfortunately there was no snow so it didn't look as magical *sad face*). My Dad then wrote a note coming from Santz and placed it next to a cup of milk (half of it drank by me) half a cookie and some carrots that have been bitten out of (some were thrown into the garden so it looked more realistic). After that, everything was done and I was anxious to get into my bed and see the faces of my cousins the next morning.

25th of December - Presents!!!!!

Presents!!!!! Lots and Lots of presents!!!! Obviously my cousins were the first ones to find them and ran furiously around the house waking everybody up. When we were all downstairs and somewhat awake ( which I was not ) my cousins opened their presents BUT I must share with you that right before they opened them, Thuan said the most adorable thing which became the highlight of my Christmas. When he saw the santa hat trapped between the door he said " at least this time he left us a clue! " IT WAS SO ADORABLE I felt like I was going to melt into a pond of purple goo :3 But now to continue the story. My cousins opened their presents first while the others watched and obviously loved every single present they got (expecially mine because.... well, it is me! ;) I got Thao a StarWars Lego alorm clock if you must know, here's a pic:  )

Hey guys, I am back from the future and do not want to finish this post (it's the 21st of Febuary and I started this post before Christmas... WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY LIFE?!?) and so I am now going to make a very short list of bullet points so that this post is OVER WITH.

• Went to plaisirs d'Hiver
• Went inside the Ice Monster - Thao and Thuan ran ahead before running back screaming and hiding behind Celine
• Went to see Ernest et Celestine (great movie for any kids!!)
• When going through two buildings the wind was so strong that Thuan "flew" into me
• Another cute quote from Thuan "Olivier looks hard and scary on the outside, but I know in the inside he's a nice person" Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! Too cute!!!
• Pierre Axel got sick on the last day with Diarrhea and vomiting (yuck!)

So FINALLY this post is done! Sorry for the lack of detail at the end but this just HAD to be finished! Phew, I feel lighter all of a sudden. I am just going to fly away and leave this pit hole of a post once and for all! Ciao!

uh... hey...

Hey guys...

For all of you who read my last post, I KNOW, I lied, I'm sorry... I was supposed to make a post everyday until Thursday but I got busy... and tired... is that a good excuse? Let me explain, when they all arrived my cousins kidnapped me and tortured me with their eternal cuteness and games. When I wasn't playing with them I was busy eating chocolates and spending some quality time with my family which I don't see very often. And of course, since it's Christmas, I stayed up very very VERY late every night spending even more quality time with my family. So when I finally went to bed, I actually went to sleep (how could I?) because I was dead tired. 

So there. You are now allowed to judge me. Please don't be too harsh...   please...    don't look at me like that... It wasn't my fault!

So after all that judging you need to do, you might want to know what is going to happen next. To make it up to all of you I am going to do a somewhat brief summary of all four days in one post. If that's not good enough then... you creep me out... 

Anyway here are my last words before I start writing my Christmas post which I have the feeling is going to be very very very very long... daaaah, I don't feel like writing it. meh. So, for all of you who still think I'm not a huge disgrace to society, wish me good luck. I shall be needing it.

Oh, one last note, I made a twitter account for all of you twitter people who like to tweet things. Here is my user: @natsdaydream

OK, now, bye.

P.S: sorry!

Pros and Cons on Winter

Winter is finally here! Yay!!

I woke up this morning to find the scenery coated with a thick layer of snow. This made me overly excited and anxious to kick some butt with a snowball fight except for one small detail... I woke up with a fever of 39 degrees (Celsius because last time I checked, I was European) and a huge headache.

What kind of person is sick on a snow day? Not me! At least that's what I thought but I was betrayed by... my body? I don't know... But still, I could be running around in my garden making failed snow angels (though they still look pretty to my eyes), bringing to life my half melted snow man or sledging down a half a meter hill. As dumb as it sounds, I still want to do all of those things. But, unfortunately, my body is warm enough to melt all the snow off our car (that, my friend, is a lot of snow!) in an instant and... I seem to be a little over attached to my bed... But, who isn't?

Anyway, so now I am going to make a list of the pros and cons about winter. Here it goes:

Pros:

• Snow Men
• Snow Women
• Snow Children (the list goes on...)
• Snow Angels (snow devils?)
• Snow ball fights (my personal  favorite!)
• Hot Chocolate drowned in Whipped Cream
• Thick Socks
• Snow!
• Ice Skating
• Ice Fishing (didn't think of that one did you!)
• Christmas! (or any other holiday you celebrate depending on your religion!)
• The beautiful scenery
• The Warm Fire Place
• Holiday lights!
• First Snow

Cons:

• Wet feet
• Colds (way too many of those!)
• Frostbite
• Runny Nose
• Fever (I am obviously not having a good time with that!)
• Nostalgia of the summer
• A lot of sneezing
• Not attaining your New Years resolutions (you have to be a beast to be able to complete all of them! If you did though, well done!)
• Annoying Christmas adverts on TV
• Dirty snow on the Streets
• Short Days or Long Nights
• Bruises from Ice Skating (Though usually they're worth it!)
• No Pretty Flowers :'(

So there is my list of pros and cons for the winter though I do love the winter... a lot! But like every other season, it has its down sides. I hope winter doesn't feel offended... I didn't mean to hurt you winter!

Anyway, while I fix winter's feelings, here are some pictures of the snow that I took. I wanted them to look something like this:

But my camera is incapable of taking nice pictures so they ended up like this:

And I just found out that all the others are blurry... Well, I at least hope you enjoyed this beautiful picture that I took (I am being sarcastic, please don't freak out) and that you have a lovely winter! 

Oh, and just before you leave, I would like to annoy you with the video of my favorite winter song! Bye!
