I can't feel my face

When I obsess over something, I really annoy people. I've heard this song for about 7 hours straight. I think I annoyed myself a little...

The weekend has a very beautiful voice, but he should seriously get a haircut! Now off to another important (less random) matters. Does any of you have a feeling that this year went by really fast?

Well, maybe it felt that way since all I did was sleep, work, eat, and repeat.

But I feel I wasted all my time in doing nothing. So I guess I'll have to do something so that this year doesn't feel too much of a WASTE.

I haven't written in a week. Which is weird, because it feels like I wrote yesterday! I promised myself that I'm not wasting my time.

Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

 He Named Me Malala by Malala Yousafzai

If anyone is reading this, and you don't know who Malala is, then you got to youtube her, she is one of the most inspiring kids I've ever heard about. She is truly amazing. I wish I could express myself better, or write the right things, but I am incapable. I'll just tell you that this girl has made me realize that I haven't done anything with my life. And I need to wake up and do something ASAP!

This kid has accomplished in 3 years what many do in a lifetime. Malala is refugee from Pakistan, target of the terrorist group the Taliban.

She was shot on her head just by wanting the same right to go to school as boys. I am so moved by her caring spirit, and her heart so full of love.

I'm starting to sound so corny now. But I feel that the world need more people like her, because brilliant people such as Malala come out every hundred years.

The right of education seems like such alien concept to us, because we forget that the world is not limited to Facebook, instagram, youtube, etc. There are things happening around us, and we ignore it, like everything else. So my dear reader (if anyone is reading) I shall bid you adieu, but not before quoting Malala, since i'm talking about her:

One child, one teacher, one book, one pen, they can change the world.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

“Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.” – Albert Einstein

I don't know about you, but I've always struggled to find myself. Why am I in this world? Why was I born?

It wasn't my intention to raise such philosophical questions, but that's truly what I've always wondered. They say that to become a master at something you have to dedicate at least 10,000 hours.

The thing is, how the hell am I suppose to find what I want to master in?

I like MANY things!

• Draw
• Write novels

Suddenly after that my mind went blank..

Now that I've narrowed down my search, all I need to do is find myself some inspiration and a mentor.

I've figured that since I want to be a master at writing, I might as well write my heart out and start mincing out those 10,000 hours!

There's this article I found by James Clear. 10 years of silence: How long it took Mozart, Picasso, and Kobe Bryant to be successful.

I'm astonished that people that dedicated exist. It makes me feel like I've just been floating through life. That I haven't been living. Not really.

I'm still not sure what I want to talk about in this blog. For now I'll be using this space to complain about my frustrations.  Now that that's out I shall now begin:

Frustration 1
I have finals coming. Good new is that I still have time, right? WRONG! These kind of thoughts is what made me FAIL my Freshman year.

The only answer to be successful at something is through HARD work. If you aren't dedicated to anything, you become mediocre at everything. (I talk from bitter experience)

Take up a hobby, become great at it, it's going to benefit you in the long run of this crappy life. Skate board, knit a sweater, go running, read books, draw! There are so many options!

Frustration 2
Thanksgiving. I know that Thanksgiving is suppose to be a happy time and all, but not when you have to go shop for the Turkey the day before! Have you been in the supermarket the day before thanksgiving? Not a pretty sight!

Those ladies go crazy for a Turkey!

Frustration 3
I've been running my mouth here on and on, I've just realized that I must sound like a self absorbing bitch, which I am. (But just a little) Hey at least I'm woman enough to admit it!

Anyways, I really hope you see the silver lining of this day. Carpe diem (Seize the day)

You are you, go find yourself and be the biggest dork you can be!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Presentations

Last week I was determined to finally get out of my shell and do the best presentation I've ever done.
But exactly seven hours later, after my humiliating presentation, I was writing my shameful results by the stairs of the music building at my school. I was asking and reproaching myself: Why couldn't you prepare yourself more Eli? Why?!

My name is Elisabeth, and I have a serious condition:

I am a procrastinator.

I hope to be an inspiration to anyone having a bad time, I encourage you to take my example and do the opposite of what I did. Now that that's out of my system, I shall start with my story:

 I'm a college student, and I FAILED my Freshman year. Why? Because I made dumb decisions, I didn't take anything seriously, I read manga the whole freaking time!

I have to confess something...I'm an Otaku.

I feel dirty just by writing it. This is something that only my sisters know, and no one else is allowed to find out outside this space! If someone finds out, I'll find you, and sic my demon dogs upon you! Mwahahaha....

Anyway. I started this blog, hopeful to find loners like me, I want to tell you that you are not alone. In real life, (I mean beyond this computer) life is so hard. During High School, especially the last year, I hated going to school, because my skin had started to break out, my hair was always greasy, and I didn't have any friends because they had all graduated along with my older sister.

In school, I always hung with the seniors, and always tailed after my sister like a fart.

I now know that I should've reached to my classmates more, talked with my teachers about my problems, there are just so many regrets. But now I know that the "I wish" doesn't solve anything.

I want to focus in the now. At least, I've learned my lesson. I'm still so freaking quiet though, sometimes I think I'm autistic because I prefer to be alone, and sometimes  people annoy me.

I'm a weirdo. I know this because my sister said to me one day, "Eli you are a weirdo!"
just because I hated the makeup she put on my face.

In this blog, I'll be writing about things that I like, experiences that have happen to me and wish to pass on to you, in hopes that you'll never make the same mistakes that I have.

By the way, the presentation at school, (in case you're wondering) was a complete and utter disaster. I don't wish such disaster to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

For now, I'm trying to block it from my mind, and hope to forget it soon. If there are any shy people, otakus, weirdoes, bookworms, suffering from acne, having been bullied, etc. Welcome to the club.

Be proud.

I'm sure that all this suffering has a silver lining, right? Now that I'm done I shall leave you with a list of my hobbies: (that's what I was supposed to talk about on my presentation.)

• Read
• Write novels
• Watch anime
• Read anime
• Sleep

Recently I've obsessing over The Seven Deadly Sins, it's the story of Elizabeth (My name!) who has gone in a quest to find the seven deadly sins of legend. Along the way he finds a perverted child who claims to be an adult, and who ends up being none other than Maleodes, the sin of wrath! and Capitan of the seven deadly sins. Whut!!!(Oh yeah!)

Elizabeth and Maleodes decide to find the other sins and save the kingdom of ....whatyoumacallit....along with a talking pig.

It is pretty hilarious and if you haven't seen it, you have to see it pronto!
