WI-FI not working for one and a half days Oh God...the TORTURE!
And you know what was worse- my phone had NO BALANCE because I finished my mobile data as well within 2 hours.
So I'm gonna tell you the story behind why our landlineand the WI-FI was not working. The answer is actually just two words- Wasps Nest
Have you kids ever seen a phone-cable-box-type-thingy hanging outside or inside the house? I don't know what kind of system works in other countries, but this box has all this wires which furthur goes to our land line phones and modems (yes, modems, Gosh kids these days!) and whatnot. We have that stupid box outside our house which not only has Our land line wires but also to our three neighbor houses (Small Town Probs #1). And technically you cannot even call this a box because the lid is God-knows-where and you can actually see the wires inside that hanging box.
But it's ALL okay because according to people around here 'Huh..who's gonna put the lid back on..we don't need that!'
...until a Week before.
Okay, so now, have you kids ever seen a wasp's nest?? Consider yourself really lucky if you Haven't! Because this nest was RIGHT IN THE BOX. I could've taken a photograph if it wasn't so dangerous and stupid. Maybe the box had some space inside it that was not covered with wires, so the wasp made an elaborate nest inside it. It was all brown and white. Hopefully the white part was just some sort of glue and not eggs.
Random Fact: My brother might act macho, but is hella scared of wasps.
So of course our net got jammed, landlines stopped working, and people around the neighbour were all like 'Shemurr??' So with the help of a really helpful man today (not a neighbor dude..gosh I hate our neighbors!) we finally broke the nest and avoided stings. In fact, gosh I consider myself so lucky not to get stung because its pretty rare that the wasps actually flew away rather than attacking. Of course they keep coming back, and four of them are still there sitting on top of the box, but things are alright for now. And you know how we did it?? Just some diesel oil and broom XD.
Thankfully they weren't tracker-jackers and I'm still alive!
Over and Out!
P.S- Sorry for spamming with 'dots' and making you believe I actually wrote something..I wanted to be on the next page really badly XD.
P.P.S- Also, I want to put some distance between two journals to get to next page ASAP. I mean, I'm AT FOURTH PAGE for goodness sake! So yeah, dots are the solution!
Announcement that I should have done a long time ago (and a long rant following after that..sorry folks)So if you're one of my best GR friends (Hi!) and if you have read my previous journals you know that I'll be soon going to Canada. But now I noticed I didn't even tell you guys that I have received my air-ticket
OMG the anxiety is just killing me!!
Me, the girl, who have barely sat on a helicopter for 5 minutes, is now gonna take THREE flights to a Ontario, Canada to study Under-Grad for four years. My Uncle's family lives there so no need for accommodations, but that doesn't lessen my Long list of challenges that I'm gonna take.
The flight is on 11th of August, so it's just LESS THAN A MONTH!
Long Rant: Now I can't tell you the whole reason of why I'm so anxious and nervous but you can probably understand my situation, no? How about this, I'll be travelling Alone. And my last flight is with Air Canada, a flight I really don't wanna take on the superior advice of IISuperwomanII but Have to take due to the Uber-Superior advice of my parents.
And once I get there, I'll be having various environmental problems, like direct tropical weather to sub-zero. Also, I'll be probably the only International Student in my whole batch, which makes me even more anxious. And there are 99 more probs which I don't wanna discuss.
Because to be honest I'm not that worried as my WHOLE family- my mom (who cries a bit everyday...I can't help that!), my dad, my bro (jk he's not worried), my grandparents (idk why..), my Uncles, my aunts, my cousins, and All my long lost relatives who are giving advice from all over the world; wherever they are; to Me. And I'm definitely not criticizing them, I can tell how worried (or jealous :P..some of them) they are for me. And all their expectations and whether I'm applying All of their advices or not is making me extra-worried.
Of course I can't discuss that with anyone except writing on my stupid random journal. But, I don't wanna complain about all this because now that the challenge is Finally arriving, I'm gonna accept them all and face bravely and fight them and finish them as effectively as I can. I'll NOT run away and complain...NOPE!
And if I ever do..or give you guys a hint that I'm probably avoiding my problems...please give me a virtual slap once or twice to bring me back to senses. Or maybe you can send me some words of encouragement :D.
*sigh* Sorry for another long rant, I really had to get this all out of my mind!
Oover and Out!
How about a count-down??Days left TWENTY FOUR!
TWENTY THREE DAYS!! Immaturity?
Does my journals look like it's been written by a five year old child?? LOL okay maybe.. I'm really sorry if I bug you guys out there. I just always wanted to keep my personal record of things and experiences, not necessarily to show it to everyone, but just..record it. I've not yet found the guts to make videos about it or anything. Besides, I like to record by writing, it's my best tool to vent out my feelings, I guess. And I'm just so sorry for my bad English, I never meant to disrespect the language or anything. Mind you, my bad English doesn't make me a 'villager' or 'un-educated girl' or something. It's just not my first language. But you'd be surprised to know that I never wrote my offline journals in Hindi either, I don't know why. My purpose has been always to record everything. I'm sure they'll be really fun to read in the future.
That being said, I'm actually not the girl that I sometimes write. Like yeah, real experiences do count, but my thoughts doesn't. See, I'm pretty shy and sometimes boring around people. I can Never make instant friends, oh no. My friends are usually a really small group, and those are the only ones who know me better. For the rest of people, I have NO idea what they think of me. That's the problem isn't it? Gosh, I'm Always thinking that 'what others will think.' I'm so tired of that, and even if I scold myself for it, I can't stop thinking like that. I'm very judgmental..but only to Myself. I never judge others, but I have this constant feeling that everyone is judging me 24/7. Jeez, that's really creepy, I know.
Where was I? Oh yes, my thoughts. So, real life people rarely know what's actually on my mind. Maybe because I'm really bad in expressing myself *facepalm*.
But..I. Don't. Wanna. Be. Like. This!!
..Oh great, immaturity strikes again.
Never mind all that. But, well, I just wanted to say thanks to GoodReads which helped me to open up a bit. Only a bit though. Rest is on me. Yup, I have to express myself. And stop judging myself all the time. And as difficult as it sounds, I have Stop thinking about what others think of me. It'll definitely take time, but now that I've written about it, I feel a bit confident that I can do this.
So if I'm immature, I AM. It's you who gotta deal with it, not me! Umm..was that rude?? ((UGH stop judging!))
Uh..anyways..that was just a random rant...again (Teehee)
Over and Out!
3 Weeks - 0 Days - 7 Hours - 25 Minutes (approximately)OMG Facebook!!
So due to tons and tons of peer pressure And Family requests, I Re-joined Facebook. And WOAH I got 17 friends in a day :D. And my mom's there too so...
Well the best part is Now I can Follow my cutie pie Superwoman and other favorites on FB!
Shemurr..no more news for today. I'm sooo boring- wait, was I judging myself Again? Gah!
Over and Out!
My goodness. Is it only me or Superwoman looks even cooler in FB and Connor Franta, well, hotter?? XD
No I mean seriously just look at all those Connor cute pics! :D
Gosh, sooo many people chatting with me on FB. And I'm being so awkward :P.Also, I completely forgot that you're supposed to use shortest words possible like 'Hwz u' and 'Nyc' and 'smthng' and 'ths' and 'ws' and 'frnt' and THOUSANDS of words like that.
*sigh*
Two weeks, Five Days, Three and a Half Hours Personal Random Advice

Need some tissues.

2 weeks, 3 days, 3 and a half hours Things Not getting any better
So just a handful of days left, and I can't handle mom! She's being really emotional over all this. Today, we almost fought over why can't I take my books with me!! I have only a few books and most of them I bought online mainly because books are not easy accessible in our town. And mom thinks books will make extra weight bla bla bla but That's not fair! *sigh* But that is kind of fair because I do have the online format as well, but still...books are books.
She's barely letting me take my class notes, and she's sure that I won't be needing my previous class notes. But no, I Totally refuse to bargain on my school notes. These notes I made from my hands, every single page filled by myself. Those chemical reactions to learn, various mathematics formula, shortcuts to solve various types of problems, those are mine and they need to with me only!
Random Fact: I'm really possessive whenever it comes to my stuff like phone, computer, class notes, books etc etc :P
So yeah, she's letting me take my class notes. Thank Goodness. But she's getting a little emotional day by day. I really hope I can handle all this.
Byeee <3!
9 days 12 hours left *sigh* SO much to post!!
Next Year's Resolution A Blog. Yep, a Blog. FINALLY I made up my mind for This!
So, you would probably know (or not..) that I had chosen 50 books as my goal for 2014 Book Reading Challenge. Some of them were soooo Good, some left me fangirling, and you'd be probably surprised to know that there's only 12 more books left and I'm Nine Books ahead of schedule. I knew I was gonna be free..
No really I'm that ahead because I'm at home all the time. But now that I'm gonna be Super-busy from mid-August to the end of the year, I'd have to plan when to read the remaining 12 books. It also depends on how much I want to read it like OMG Revenge of Seven is gonna be release IN LESS THAN A MONTH and Blood of Olympus IS GETTING CLOSE!! So yeah, can't wait for that.
But then, after reading each and every book, whenever I sit down to write a review, it's Always unsatisfactory, no matter how long or short it is. I couldn't guess what else I want to add in it. Then I got my answer.
And my solution is- Blogging about Books. But NO, I'm not gonna write 'reviews' about them, because then what the heck is GR for?? I'm gonna write about What I learned from each and every book that I've read . Because I have learned LOTS of things from every single Book. Some of them are same things, but explained in a really different way. And to be honest, I might not know about my Blood group but one thing I'm sure about myself is that I Am A Great Learner. I LOVE to learn. I never ever stop learning, it's my passion. I don't even care what I'm learning but I like to see a situation in as different perspectives as possible. And that's what novels do right?
So my blog would be about what I/we learned from each novel and what my opinions are on it. And I'll make it along as I go.
But now you'd be like- Hey Blogging is easy! Why don't you start now? It's no big deal anyway.
But it IS. It's a big deal for me because I want to record what I experienced while reading each book, and it really matters to me. Plus, I wanna make it a Big one, why have small dreams?
But I'm gonna start this in 2015, aka next year. This year I'm gonna finish my challenge and then I'll have NO challenge for next year because I'll re-read the books I've recently read (also I keep forgetting so many things and sometimes even mix up character names and what not..it's highly embarrassing for a book nerd like me :P). Of course I'll read new books but let's just start from the previous ones..
Also, I need some great ideas for it, and I'm still planning and I know I think a Lot but I really wanna do this RIGHT so yeah.
Over and Out!
Bye to my Best Friend Just said Goodbye to my Bestest Friend. She's leaving the town tomorrow, Forever!!
Thank goodness it's Friendship day this Sunday, that got us together :D.
Her name is Chahat. Chahat Kaushik. Gosh, I could write a whole book about her. You know how I rant, without Break! I can't explain her in one para, because that would feel like cheating, like I betrayed her by not telling Everything about her...so yeah, I'm gonna tell nothing about her except her name :P
Gawd it's been 15 minutes and we're STILL chatting on phone right now, discussing about a thousand things at once because her visit was pretty short. She just came to say me Goodbye and exchange gifts. And I did NOT cry. Neither did she.
Random fact : In my entire 6 or 7 years with her, I only saw her cry once or twice.
We just hugged and hugged and OMG she's a bit taller (ONLY A BIT) so she even carried me off the floor for a second it was so funny. And then I tried to carry her but mom entered the room haha it was so awkward she thought we were fighting XD.
I gave her a multicolored bracelet. She gave me a sweater..uh no that's a winter top (multicolored with black base). Of course we both loved our gifts. I'm sorry we don't have creative minds, like something that will make our friendship remember forever and ever, we already have those memories in our mind. And there's no way we won't be in touch. Also, I wouldn't be able to carry something heavy in my bag and that sweater/winter top is really cool :D.
Sooo...yeah...I'm never gonna meet her again in more than a year, or two, maybe longer..
Over and Out!
Stupid Freaking Anxiety I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
I wish I could explain properly how much anxiety I'm having these days. I think you can imagine though. Like you know something major's gonna happen in the next few days..No wait, I got a perfect explanation.
*building background music*
Imagine the book series you love Most! Imagine that its the Most Important book and is gonna release pretty soon. And it's just really really important book because it decides the Fate of the whole series. You know what? Imagine its the last book of your most favorite series (oh yes, I'm talking about Blood of Olympus for mine :P) and imagine standing in a LONG line just to pre-order that book (I don't know how to pre-order stuffs...but imagine doing it offline XD). It feels something like your whole life might change after reading that book..
*music dies*
Uh, no. Still not working. Hmm... oh yes! IMAGINE I'm Tris and I'm going from Abnegation to Dauntless. EXCEPT that I already know I'll go to Dauntless, and its kinda more or less my choice. Or maybe it was destiny..
Whatever, BUT can you imagine Tris WAITING for that to happen for TEN DAYS???? Ten freaking days to wait to shift from Abnegation to Dauntless, are you kidding me? I CAN'T IMAGINE EITHER!!
If I could I would sit in a flight right now and JUST SAY GOOD BYE ALREADY and OMG this anxiety won't stop! I'm not getting good sleeps due to that. This isn't fair!
*calms down* Sorry for the rant, but yeah, I get these anxiety attacks like Stomach pain very often these days. Oh man, without meaning to I'm imagining all those scenes in my head, how I'll say goodbye, how I'm gonna be in airport, my life in a University, my friends, UGH!!!!!
I don't wanna think so much!! I wonder if Athena kids have the same problems...like lots of anxiety because they analyze each possibility. I'm gonna ask Annabeth about that. Oh wait, she was pretty nervous too, right? Like, during Mark of Athena, for her quest, she was kinda nervous and full of anxiety, gosh I can feel her right now..what if I do something wrong :S.
Okay Okay I gotta stop ranting, write directly what's going in my brain or I might accidentally write a book :P
Over and Out!
One week, 16 hours 45 minutes ACK!! My second last Sunday..

6 days 16 hours That's Less than a Week folks!!!!!
Contiki Youtubers Trip (aka Stalking)Just because I had nothing better to do And because I love a few YTers who were already in this tour, I've been watching all the YTers vlogs as well as Contiki vlogs about their Road Trip 2014
They've been to Barcelona, Spain, Nice, Florence, Rome and finally to London. And my goodness the vlogs are just Super-Cooleo! It's almost like I'm sitting there and enjoying with these people. And different vlogs from different YTers means Different POVs (like in a book) which was even more cool. Also, I got introduced to other amazing YTers. The perks of stalking, I tell ya...
I thought my favorite part would be Rome (for various reasons including PJO) but in actual my favorite part was Florence. I'd LOVE to visit there someday. These YTers include Superwoman, Anthony from Smosh, Joey Graceffa (he's pretty cool), Alli (I'm her new Fan!), Datev (hers too!), PVP couple(they're meh), FunForLouis and more! I'm so glad they're recording it so that the audience could enjoy this as much as they are. The Contiki guys are also cool, the way they organised the trip was pretty amazing.
And of course The Europe in itself is an Amazing place! There is such an old feel in some of the places they visited, but it's a lot different from Indian Heritages and it was so cool for me to watch all these cool historical monuments as well as know about their culture and food, WITH the YTers I just totally love. Seriously, how could this be any better?
Wait, it could be better if I was with them :P. Okay, I totally gotta add this to my bucket list- Visit European cities with my friends, or with complete strangers who become friends in the way. Sound fun right?
You can also check the YTers vlogs (not all of them has made vlogs, but most of them have) as well as the Contiki ones. Of course they're time consuming so Don't watch it unless you've got some spare time to spend.
Over and Out!
And YES in Rome I saw the Spanish Steps (aww Hazel must have loved that) and some of YTers also took shots inside that M Agrippa temple/building/monument. I was looking for the Virgin Mary statue but their cameras were too focused on the hole in the centre of the dome. Shemurr..The Colosseum was pretty cool but I really wish I was there because maybe I would have seen some more...something special (Or Demigodly) in there..
And no they totally didn't show the Emanuel Building. These guys have NO idea what they've missed. #Mortals
