Update: post exams

Wow can't believe I just survived the first round of assessments..definitely an obstacle since I fell pretty sick on the day before but somehow managed through it. Although I have to say, since two of my subjects were practicals (chem and bio) I didn't need to study for them and so this placed a lot of time on my hands.... Which means procrastination. I've found this show on YouTube (nt a YouTube show though lol) called the dog whisperer. Oh my gosh it's so good, haha, making turn into a dog lover just by watching. But it really helps teach tricks to train and discipline your dog in an effective way. 

Anyways I have a quite a bit to do now that exams are over and I shall try to blog more often maybe photos here and there. 

- shall be celebrating my birthday soon 

- and watching 'catching fire' soon as well, heard only good reviews so far so that's pleasing 

- shopping (both Xmas and self hehe) 

- really looking forward to finally relaxing for a while yay 

- maybe catch up on some nice leisure reading 

Hope you're doing well, have a good one xo

Update ; exams

Oh my god I didn't even realise how close we are to HSC assessment 1 

It's in two weeks and it doesn't even feel like I've learnt anything, let alone study. 

On a side note I've been thinking about uni courses and such 

- pyschology/ marketing or pyschology/criminology at unsw (about 97 ATAR)

- pharmacy 92 ATAR ? 

- nursing ( I have no idea what the ATAR for this is, but maybe low )

- bio/med or maybe genetics 

- physiology ?

I'm so conflicted but after HSC I'm planning to take up some classes for makeup and photography as sort of a backup plan so I don't starve or go broke haha. Then find a job at MAC or some cosmetics counter with makeup experience haha. Omg. Excited. 

So worried about English orals, I feel as if my related text doesn't really relate to my core text haha. But oh well, I'll choose another for my trials. 

Things to do : 

- English practice speech due on Monday ( omg English is taking so much of my time wtf ) 

- modern notes 

- bio notes !!! 

- chem notes x.x

- math past papers 

- math revision 

- modem past papers

movie review; now you see me

Wow, probably this has to be one of the most exhilarating movies I've seen so far - if you haven't seen it yet please do, it's really is as good as the trailer advertises it to be. 

I don't want to spoil it too much but the storyline follows four magicians who are put together into a show 'the Four Horsemen' by a secret person. Later revealed, these shows appear to have been  planned beforehand for a world wide audience. Their first show was a trick in robbing a bank, and from there they continuously commits more crimes on a global scale. The FBI are on the case and the plot reveals so many twists and turns you'll be pleasantly surprised. 

I have to comment on the excellent casting for the four magicians and not so much on the choice for the FBI agent (forgot his name haha) who was Bruce from hulk (can't remember the actor's name either- how convenient haha). His personality and look doesn't really go well with the character but nevertheless it made things interesting. 

The magic tricks were thrilling to watch, but as soon as you think you understood how the trick was played out, it twists and leaves you baffled. When they do reveal how they did it, you can't help but stop to marvel at its ingenious and meticulous planning it must've taken. For sure, I wouldn't have thought of something so elaborate haha.

Movie reviews: Thor 2 & Gravity

Thor 2 : 

Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated with superman comics and stories, despite the general "boy genre" it was classified under. But I always wanted to have super powers and save the world and blah blah blah. By far, my favourite "superhero" had always Thor, maybe from his manly presence and the way he talks reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. But he has strong admirable qualities just like all the other superheroes. The thing that placed him apart from the other heros, for me, was his past and his origins; he's from another world, which was something I've also always had been fascinated with. Outer space and the whole entire universe with all it's mystery and danger kinda excites me. Just with these two aspects forms a tremendously good story. I mean the other hero stories are just as good, but Thor's is by far the most intriguing in all it's fantasies. I digress haha.

The movie follows on from the first, but even if you hadn't seen the first one, this one would still make absolute sense. It follows a mythical story of power, love and danger, but this movie develops the plot of Jane and Thor together, as well as exploring Loki as a character and his motivations. There were so many unexpected twists and turns in the plot that really surprised me, but nevertheless it didn't disappoint. I really can't wait for the next movie to come out, because like Harry Potter, this is an extraordinary tale of fantastical worlds and mythology, both of which trigger the world of imagination and dreams like no other. 

Rating : 6.85/10

Gravity : 

I heard contrasting reviews for this movie; some said it was the best movie they've seem this year, and others said it was terrible. From the negative reviews, people complained about there was top much dialogue but really, what do you expect when you're in space haha. 

The beginning had a slow start but when things got intense, things got INTENSE. I have to say though, when I was watching it, I was really impatient because everything in space forces you to move slower than you usually do. But nevertheless Sandra Bullock really brought out the emotions and the feelings of the movie and her character, and the filming made the movie so real, as if you were there with the characters. Almost everything you would think could go wrong in space, does and this movie really highlights the sheer impossibility to overcome almost every obstacle and also the realities of space and the fear of the unknown. 

Rating : 6.65/10

Both movies were amazing in their own way, although I didn't enjoy Gravity as much as I did Thor 2, I really recommend both movies, they will be worth your time. 

Hope you enjoyed xo
