Everybody blanks Joanne

BHUTAN!

Jussttt Kiddin'

Theres this epidsode of Everybody Loves Raymond in which, ironically, a man doesn't like him.
I know this doesn't sound like a promisingly entertaining blog because no one really watches ELR anymore cos its Gossip Girl this and Vampire Diaries that, but I'm attempting to seek a source of comfort from this episode.

See, Raymond is so used to people enjoying his company that he can't stand it when someone decides that he's a douche.

If I were to choose the single most hated trait of my own it would be caring about what others thought of me. I'm not as pedantic and paranoid as I used to be, trying to control everyone's opinion of me, but I'll admit, it still stings when you come to find that someone doesn't like you all that much for no apparent reason.

Last year made me a much happier person than I've ever been but even with my new found outlook on everything, I still turn red at the thought that someone just doesn't like me.

In the episode where Raymond spends his time trying to win the respect of this man, he is eventually saved by his brother who defends the bejesus out of him. I just hope that if my friends were ever in a situation where they could, they'd defend me too.

Some traits die hard, well at least harder than others. BUT i suppose the new year is an oppurtunity to turn over a new leaf and work at it.

CHRISTMUKKAHS HERE

Joyeux Noël !


Most supportive sister ever!

To all my beautiful year 12's, we've finally seen the light to the long-ass tunnel. Though for some the light may not have been as bright as you had anticipated, it is still an accomplishment that no one can take away from you.


To the poor asian kids like me whose parents will never be satisfied, im here for ya brutha.
I at least have beautiful sisters that support me.

Yesterday I hosted my first Christmukkah dinner! On the menu - Bruschetta, Chicken Roast, Lemon Meringue and lots more. Good food, good people and boy did we bring tidings. (Photos will be up next blog!)

I hope you've all gotten well and truly into the festive season. If not then... HURRY THE $%#@ UP.

Good luck to everyone arranging and rearranging your preferences. Keep your hopes up and think.... What would Jebus Do.


Happy holidays - Joanne (L)

Happy Christmukkah!

FROHE WEIHNACHTEN!

Merry Christmas says the German.

So I'm sitting here in my uniform for the last time, trying not to crinkle it.
Its graduation tonight and i'm sweating like pedo around a little girl.

Soppy moments aside, ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS!
And i havn't found an advent calandar yet. I've looked very hard but nothing seems christmas worthy. But i look on the brightside and tell myself that it just means I can have the chocolates from the days I've missed. BONUS!

I went nuts shopping for christmas decorations. I even bought a little santa outfit for Champagne bottles. Ridiculously cute.

Well I better go stick the old badges onto the blazer. Heres a suggestion from yours truly: change your bed sheets, take a long shower and hop in with a sudoku with a christmas album playing in the background. Best sleep you'll ever have.
Be Merry.
