THE LOST KINGDOM (introduction)

**Remember when I told you that I'm going to share some of my previous works here in my blog? Then here's another one. I made this when I was in 6th Grade for our English activity :) Our teacher told us to write a short story but I guess I got carried away so ended up submitting this 3-page story.... and guess what?? It ended up being posted in our "English corner"!! I had to summarize it though ,but what the heck?! It got potsed!!! haha :) I was so happy (and I still am. :D )

The concept is a bit common but I really do hope that you'll find the whole story interesting.

I will be posting the whole version of the story but I will divide it into several posts so it won't look too massive to read. It's not a masterpiece or anything but I do hope that it won't bore you in any way.

I still have to do a few tweaks here in there so I'm not sure when I'll publish the first post.

PLOT: The story is about a kingdom that was cursed , how it got lost, and how the chosen one brought it back to life.

Everybody needs some "Alone Time"..

Something about the image: LOL. That's me in the picture. That cute thing over there at the side is my friend's treasured stuffed toy. My friend took it a few days ago (May 23 to be exact)when we had our get together. I was in the mood for a bit of "Alone time" and before I knew it, "CLICK!", he took a picture and teased me that I was being sentimental again. haha. :D

**Have you ever felt sometimes that you just want to be alone or maybe just be invisible?

+You know? Just YOU. Staring blankly into space..? +Thinking about things you haven't thought of before or maybe of the things that have been bothering you for the past few days or weeks...?

+Reminiscing the joyful and sad memories that you have come through....?

+Smiling and suddenly laughing out loud,after remembering hilarious moments, while people (or even animals) staring strangely at you possibly thinking, "Is he/she ok, or does he/she need psychiatric help??"...?

+Lying flat on your back, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember when you last cleaned it...?

+Staring closely at yourself on the mirror suddenly exclaming, "Shocks! I have a zit!" ...?

+Getting lost in you imagination, got back, looked at your watch and just realized that you are late for class...?

+Getting on a public vehicle, and again, getting lost in your imagination, got back again, and realized that you are wAy waAAAAyyyy past the place you where supposed to get off...?

**I know I do(most of the time actually).

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. It's good to have some "Alone time" once in a while. Taking a break from everything that's around you and to just relax,take a deep breath and spend some quality time with yourself. It helps relieve stress and it really is relaxing. But of course, keep in mind that "no man is an island".

Too much of what we call "Alone time" will drive you crazy.

modified blog header

I just had to do something about my header. So, I put my design and my previous header together.

What do you think?

Feedbacks accepted!! Anyone??

Me? Wanna know what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking, "Is this legal???"

LOL

I'm afraid it's deigner might get mad because I modified his design.

Well, I really did not change anything. I just made the blog title more visible.

This is the header that I had a few minutes ago:

And this is my new one:

Which ones better??

Need your advices..

blog header

yey!!! I just finished making my own header!!!

I made it using PAINT, uploaded it on PHOTOBUCKET, made a few adjustments and there, I have my personalized header. :)

So, whattya think??

(Hmm... Personally,I think the header doesn't work well with the background..)

Feedbacks?? Anyone??

This was my header before:

I really like this one, but I wanted to design my own to make my header unique.

[Hmm,.. I'm thinking of getting my old header back(the previously posted image) .

Oh and i also made a linkback to my blog.

Would you like to get the code??

haha . Just joking

It's as if that anyone would really ask for it....

Maybe I can give out the code when my blog, i mean IF my blog becomes successful. For the mean time, I'll just keep it to myself and put it for my own use. :)

New Visitor

Hey you! Yes, YOU!!!

hi!!! :)

Thanks for dropping by this blog.

I'm still working on this so there's still nothing special or much interesting about it.

This blog is about random stuff. Hopefully you'll find something that would interest you. If not, just keep in touch with this blog and maybe sometime I'll get to post something that you'll be interested in. :)

Ya, I kinda figured out that it's really hard to build up an audience for your blog --especially if your just starting out.

New to blogging? I've got posts that might help you. Feel free to browse through the articles :)

Well,summer vacation's almost over, and I'm afraid that I won't be a ble to update my blog once classes get started. :(

(...well I hope not)

I hope I can keep up with my posting frequency (after I figure out what that will be .. LOL)

NOTE: I would like to apologize in advance if ever you'll encounter some typos and grammatical errors on any of my posts. Not that much of an expert in writing. :)

**positive and negative feedbacks accepted. feel free to leave a comment :)**

THANKS AGAIN!!! ^_^

Next post coming up.... (I wonder what that will be???)

wanna learn more about blogging??

I just finished reading an ebook about blogging, and I have to say, there REALLY is a lot more to blogging. It's not just as easy as that. I really learned a lot, and now, it's time for me to TAKE ACTION (Well, maybe not at this moment, but I'll be working on it. You'll see :)

I personally recommend for you to get a copy of this ebook. I'm not saying that everything about blogging is here, but it would really be helpful (esp. if your a newbie, just like me). Trust me on this.

I got this ebook from Liane a.k.a Webloggr. I really don't remember how I ended up on her page but I'm really thankful that I did :) . After I read some of her posts, I kept coming back to read more ,and one time, I stumbled upon her post about this ebook. I took the chance, and as she promised, she personally sent me a copy of the ebook,THAT SHE WROTE HERSELF!(let me put a stress on that), and at NO COST!!! (Well, she asked for a small favor, but what the heck?! It was my pleasure to do so ;)

So, if you wish to get your OWN, FREE copy--and I would like to put an emphasis on the word "FREE" ;)

just go to her blog:

http://betterbloggingforbloggers.blogspot.com/

You can just click that link I provided or you can take a look at my cool, accessible permanent link over there(underneath the Blog Archive) to her blog and click it :)

Once you do, you'll be forever thankful that you did ..

or maybe not...

just kidding! :D

Whether you're new to all of this or have been blogging for years, I still think you should try to visit this blog. You'll never know. There might be several things that you happen to have missed throughout the whole time you've been blogging.

Let's do some clicking, reading and subscribing for a better and improved blog!! :)

(Just in case some of your are wondering)

NOTE: This post has been written by the author of this blog with her own freewill and does not reflect of the previously mentioned blogger on the post. :) LOL :D

talking about blogs

I just changed the look of my blog so it'll be easier to read.

so? whattya think??

It was hard to find a ready-made-template that would fit what i wanted for my blog so i just editted this myself.

But if you're not up for editting for yourself, there are several sites where you can get free layouts. Here are some links that you can try

http://pyzam.com/

http://eblogtemplates.com/

I'm not really an expert in putting colors together but I think this will do. I love it actually.. my favorite color is blue(and all the shades that goes with it) and I'm also beginning to like the color green,esp. olive green and the color of my Cbox over there (i'm not sure what shade that is). You can also get your own and customize it. Just go to:

http://cbox.ws/

Oh and I really adore the header that i got. Though it's quite hard to read the Blog title and description,it's for keeps :) I got it from smashingmagazine.com. here's the link

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/03/05/blog-headers-for-free-download/

oh and here's a tip: You don't actually need to download the header. Just double click the header you want to get a full view of it, right-click, select Save Picture As,(a window will appear) choose a destination, click Save ,and there you have it! a header that will put more character to your blog. :)

I just talked to one of my friends a while ago and gave him the news that I already have made my own blog. I got the idea of blogging from him actually. One time, he sent me the link to his blog and it's sO cool. I really can't relate that much but I find it fascinating. He's into computer programming and he's a genius!! My friends say that I'm smart but wait till they meet this friend of mine. His name is Yasith and he's from Sri Lanka. As of today, besides from me, he is the ONLY reader of this blog. haha hope it doesn't bore him to death.., You should check out his blog. Here's the link

what to do..

SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT

I should be proud of who I am

And I should not believe on what others say

As long as I know it isn't true'

I should not care of what they think

I should fight all my fears away

For me to be able to get out

from my lonely and dark atmosphere

and into the bright and happy future that awaits

I should stand with all my might

for me to be able to see what's right

I should not cry'Cause i'm not blind

I can see what's wrong or right

I should work hard so I can satisfy my heart

Who suffered the most when it was broken

I should stand up, and i should fight

So i can bring it back together again

**one of my works when i was in grade school :)

NONSENSE

I really have nothing to say at this moment.. I just thought it would be cool to keep my blog updated. Nobody's really reading or viewing my blog but myself . It's sad but it's ok. There's nothing interesting in here anyway.

It says there "NONSENSE" but why continue reading?

++++++

This is nothing but nonsense.

what can I do?

I really have nothing to say.

Why keep writing when there is nothing to say?

I just want to say what's on my mind

I thought you had nothing to say?

Yes, I did

Then what's on you mind?

Nothing but nonsense.

Nonsense you say.

Because it really is

So, what's on your mind?

Nothing.

Go ahead, spill it out.

I already am.

It's nonsense alright

So now you believe me?

Nope.why is it so?

You said you had nothing on your mind

And??!

This is definitely something. Nonsense, but still something.

**just talking to myself**

When you ask somebody "What are you thinking of?"

and they answer "Nothing" NEVER believe them..

;)

About the Blogger :) [posted: 5.17.2008]

I'm new to this whole blogging thing and I'm not really sure of what to do so I'll just start with introducing myself.

So I'm a senior high school student( S.Y. '08-'09); President of the Student Council; Class President;dance club member; an honor student; and a C.A.T officer. I've joined a couple of contests in school like poster making,quiz bee,singing contests and dance contests and I also participate in school programs. With those descriptions, some of you may already think that I'm an outgoing and very confident person---two of the things that contradicts my personality. I've been joining contests because I want to improve my self-esteem and confidence.

I'm not really participative in class recitations. It's seldom for me to raise my hand in class because I'm one of those persons who are afraid of making mistakes. I'm more of the "listener type". My favorite subjects are MATH,ENGLISH and SCIENCE. I find these subjects very much interesting (though some students find it brain exploding.. haha ;P )

Well, I admit , it's not really easy, but if you take time to understand it, I'm sure you'll find it really fascinating. ;)

I'm a perfectionist when it comes to almost everything I do, so most of the time I end up disappointing myself. It's like I have these brilliant visions and ideas, and when I'm in the process of applying it, I just don't know what to do... (You know what I mean right?)

As I have previously said, I like joining extra-curricular activities in school (even though I always get the nerves and sometimes end up humiliating myself :D ). Well, my mom isn't really supportive about these stuff so most of the time she gets mad at me for spending too much time in school,school works and such activities . She said that I'm just stressing myself out and making things more complicated for me--undeniably true and I clearly know what she means,but I really can't help myself . ;) It's tiring but so far, I enjoy what I do.

I have been into drawing before and I also tried making portraits. I also have made a few poems and a short story when i was in grade school , wrote a song when i was a high school freshman(i think) and have experienced making scripts for class plays. (I'll post some of my works soon ) In sports: volleyball,a bit of basketball and table tennis, and badminton. I dance but I still wish i can do ballet. I sing but I'm not sure if I am good at it. I've also tried playing some musical instruments.

In spite of all the things that I have tried, I'm still finding that one thing that I'm really,really,really good at. I have this belief that "each and everyone of us has this thing where we excel even without much effort---you know? the natural talent that is waiting to be enhanced. I can do a bit of almost everything but I'm still not sure if i have found that ONE thing. hmmmmmm..........?
