I'M GOING TO SOUTH KOREA!!!

1st December, 2011 (9:30pm )

Hey Everyone!

GUESS WHAT?!
I'm going to Korea on the 8th to 29th of December.
I can't wait!!
I've already packed and everything.
I just hope the plane tickets aren't a scam. Then I will have a mental breakdown.
Well, moving on.

I kinda feel bad for leaving my dad and my dog behind whilst my mum and I have a good time in Korea. But no worries, I will make it up for them. I've already built the christmas tree for them :)

I know it looks really dodgy.. but I learnt that you need small streamers(is that what it's called?? the red and white thing on the tree) to decorate on a 3ft christmas tree. And well, the paper you see stuck on the tree says 'DONT TOUCH' and I've hid it from view by a jumper so it would surprise them. Well, the lights are really pretty but it wasn't turned on then.

EEEKkkk!! I get to go to KOREA!!!

JOANNA - I told you that you weren't the only one. Haha.. I've packed everything, wrote down the schedule and researched a lot.

Okay. A story. Two days ago, which was the 29th of November. It was my last day of year 10!!! YEAH!

Yesterday...
Long story short... we had to take my mum's friend's luggage to her house ... traffic jam... late night... tired... before that.. I went to 2 Dymocks (one in Carlingford and one in the City in george street) and Kinokuniya. It took a lot of walking and searching. But in the end, I found them!! I'm going to read them on the plane :) so i can't wait.

1) Title: Thirteen reasons why
Author: Jay Asher
(I dunno, I heard it was a good book. It's about a girl who suicided because of some people. And then they find her tapes she's been recording about them and they change their ways.)
Here's a link: http://www.thirteenreasonswhy.com/index.php


I got the last copy of the book :) haahahhaa!!!

2) Title: The truth about forever
Author: Sarah Dessen
(Apparently, the author Sarah Dessen is really popular in America)
Here's the link to her website and read the blurbs: http://sarahdessen.com/

<--- I don't like the cover.. kinda freaks me out.. but all well.. I got the BOOK!!

It's about.. I duno.. Here's a description:







Macy’s summer stretches before her, carefully planned and outlined. She will spend her days sitting at the library information desk. She will spend her evenings studying for the SATs. Spare time will be used to help her obsessive mother prepare for the big opening of the townhouse section of her luxury development. But Macy’s plans don’t anticipate a surprising and chaotic job with Wish Catering, a motley crew of new friends, or … Wes. Tattooed, artistic, anything-but-expected Wes. He doesn’t fit Macy’s life at all–so why does she feel so comfortable with him? So … happy? What is it about him that makes her let down her guard and finally talk about how much she misses her father, who died before her eyes the year before? Sarah Dessen delivers a page-turning novel that carries readers on a roller coaster of denial, grief, comfort, and love as we watch a broken but resilient girl pick up the pieces of her life and fit them back together.


Yeah,, I normally don't read romance novels. I prefer crime and adventure but I heard this was a good book. Dunno.. perhaps I'll review it later.

Um.. what else?
I don't know what to give to my relatives..
Some australian stuff?
Like what?? Kangaroo skin(but i don't want to get stopped in the security)
I've already given them an expensive watch, kangaroo hats( the cowboy looking ones)

The only idea that I can think of is Tim Tams. Can you help me out? Please, I'm dying to know.

JOANNA - Remember you love the word 'succulent'.. I had to take this pic to show it to you. It says
"Salivating? Over succulent steaks? That's your beeflex"


Every time I go past that... I want to eat a steak.

Cheers,

Sharna and Sam (who's sleeping next to me)

Meet my dog Sam :)

30th November, 2011 (8a.m.)

Hey Everyone!

I'm sure you guys all know, but for those who don't.

Meet SAM!!!

She's a gorgeous Fox Pomeranian Puppy :)
She's about 1 years old. Her names Samantha (Sam for short.. since everyone keeps calling her a guy). She's very active, loves to sleep, and to cuddle.

<---- Lol, doesn't that pic remind you of Theodore in Alvin and the Chipmunks when he poses into the camera?? I think it does :)

Okay, what has she been up to lately?
Run around the house and sleep in all day.. hahah

<--- This was her when she first arrived at our house when she was 6 months... Cute right??

When I first saw Sam. I was really scared coz she didn't look like a dog at all. Long story short skipping out the dramatic parts...... My mum's friend's friend just had pups (about 6 of them) and wanted to give them away to a good home. I was shocked since they told me she was tiny pomeranian (like the ones in the movies) and I haven't had a dog in years and had no idea. But... after research and questions asked to other dog owners. I found out she was a fox pomeranian.

Did I mention Sam is really emotional? When I first got her she was depressed since she was away from home. She wouldn't eat or drink much and would just lie there looking sad. It took her a while to gain back her strength. I started to walk her little by little into a dog park where I used to live before. First she wouldn't even take a step forward so I had to carry her. (I dont know why? but she's really afraid of other dogs.. even small ones.) And now she  goes crazy in the park.. or any other big spaces. She does a thing that I call a 'Happy Run' every day when I come home from school. She runs really fast from room to room and I join in... hahahha.. and then we she gets tired. She comes to me for a hug, and she falls asleep next to me (she keeps sitting on me ??... )

Here's a video of her doing the Happy Run...

Sorry, the quality is horrid. I filmed this about 6 months ago.. or something like that with my crappy phone. But in real life she's way faster.

Oh,, and did I mention she loves sleeping on soft, cushiony stuff?

It's so cute but annoying sometimes when she sleeps on my clothes. 

Cheers,

Sharna and Sam :)

JESSE MCCARTNEY

20th November, 2011 (10:40 am)

Hey Everyone!

This is my third blog today, but I'm bored so yeah..
This time It's about Jesse McCartney :)

Before                                                                                                              Now

Well, what can I say? He's amazing.
He's an american solo artist, a singer, songwriter and an actor.
Jesse was in a band called DreamStreet (1999- 2002... they were so cute)

Here's a video

Its called It Happens Every Time

And then they broke up :( 

Jesse made an album recorded in 2004.

Here's a video

It's called Beautiful Soul

And another one recorded in 2010

Here's a video

It's called How Do You Sleep ft Ludacris (Lol.. at the thumbnail)

And another one recorded in 2011

Here's a video

It's called A Simple Thing Called Love

But hasn't made a official video yet.. just a song :)

So, there it is :)

Jesse McCartney the first person I heard on the radio and fell in love with (haha.. i wont faint like other girls would though)

Enjoy,

Sharna

Are you an ELF?

20th November, 2011 (10:10 am)

Hey Everyone!

I can't stop myself, I love this song and I hope you do too,
For those of you who don't know.

Super Junior is a korean pop band. It has 13 members, and they're really famous in Asia. ELF is a fan club... it stand for ever lasting friends?? Im not sure.
But I love Sungmin :)

Yeah... you see what I do when I get bored.. But you guys should really listen to them sing. They're amazing! 

Here's a video. 

Its called No Other

And another one I found a couple of days ago.. I'm addicted :)

Its called All My Heart 

Yeah, you might be creeped out at first like I was because it's so different to pop culture in Australia. I thought they looked like girls and were gay (coz of the clothes they wear). But apparently, that's HOT in Korea (and other asian countries??). 

TRY AND SPOT SUNGMIN!! HE'S THE HOT ONE.. HEHE

They're really funny and very talented.  Hope you like it :)

Enjoy, 

Sharna

P.S: I'll make one on other artists popular in America and Australia. SOON!! (like in 5 mins) hahah..

CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!! and plane ticket to South Korea?!

20th November 2011, (9:30am)

Hey Everyone!

There's only:

35	Days
7	Hours
27	Minutes

TILL CHRISTMAS!!! WOOOO!! 

I can't wait!! 

This year I finally managed to buy a christmas tree :)

It's nothing fancy, just a 3ft artificial tree that I got for $19 (on sale!!) at ChristmasWorld. And decorations from HotDollar. But I have a christmas tree!! My first christmas tree that I bought in Australia! 

You know, I've always dreamed of celebrating christmas with my relatives in Korea around a warm fireplace drinking hot chocolate and singing christmas carols. Even though it sounds cliche and corny I want a white christmas. White wonderland they call it. And maybe for the first time in 10 years I get to!! It won't be on christmas but I might be able to go to Korea on the 29th of December (not sure yet) for 3 weeks. It would be scary since I can't speak Korean, count money, haven't seen my relatives for 10 years, and have no idea what it's going to be like, never went on a plane by myself let alone another country. But I'll manage.. hopefully. 

But before the excitement, I have to spend the summer here in Australia. Well, it might not be that bad. I've managed 10 other years of summer here. But the fact that I've been saying those words for 10 years now, makes me a hypocrite. It's not Australia that gets my complaints. It's the weather. I HATE summer :(

P.S: How come I can't upload photos here?

The Beginning

15th November 2011 (10:00pm)

Hey Guys :)
Sorry I went weird on my last blog entry. So, let me introduce myself.

Hey! My name is Sharna. I am 15 years of age. I live in Sydney, Australia (And no... there are no kangaroo's or emu's around unless you visit them at a zoo or go live in the country side). And I've created a blog with my name as 'BlueCosmos07'. Well, blue because that's my favorite color. Cosmos coz... they're cool?? and 07 my favorite number. Special thanks to Laura for the username :)

So, there you have it folks a little info about me. Nothing interesting I guess. I'm just another teenage girl leading a boring life.

My friends from school has inspired me to start a blog page about my life. So, Joanna this is for you chica. I hope you enjoy your stay in China and America and good luck at your new school. I'll definitely miss you and your complaints about teaching piano and how expensive the school fees are. Hehehe.. Bye for now but not forever :).. Lol... see you at school tomorrow... DOUBLE MUSIC!! YEAH!!

Sharna

Girl Next Door

14th November 2011 (2:00am)

It had been hours since I stepped foot on Australian soil, driving from town to town we've finally managed to arrive at our destination. Home. From Waterloo (One bedroom and one toilet) for a family of three and a dog to a (Three bedrooms, two living rooms, three toilets, two balcony, one garage and a large backyard) in Carlingford. However, as we can't afford the rent so another family of three are sharing with us. That's pretty good right? Considering the apartment we stayed before was tiny and cramped. I feel so open and free :)

Well, over the last few days I've turned into a NOCTURNAL BEAST hungrily scavenging for bits of left over food that hasn't been damaged on the way to the new house. Hahaha... I felt like a hobo... but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive in this world. Other than getting up at 6am every morning, travelling in the car for 2 hours to get to school and 2 hours drive again to go home. I'm very grateful. Oh, did I mention the weather? You know the phrase 'I'm sweating like a pig'... that's what I'm feeling right now.... if that makes sense??


Sharna

P.S: I wrote this very late at night... so.. that explains my weirdness..
