This Blog Does Not Regenerate

It has been presumably exterminated, well, by me. I am just going to let this blog experience eternal life. In other words, to continue allowing it to be accessed. Well, I noticed that the people who usually chance upon this blog are in need of something (for example, pictures... mostly pictures actually); that makes me feel a little resourceful! I thought of locking the blog with a password but whatever, I won't do that anymore. I'm being a good samaritan, okay?!

So let me just remind you:

THIS BLOG IS DEAD

You can reminisce anything you want, goodbye laddie. Got to bid you a very fun farewell now. To my readers. thank you for your support after all these years (this blog includes my Vox by the way). And Typepad, thank you for your patronage. I truly enjoyed using this blogging platform - it's truly different from the others. I love the spilt cut function (Livejournal has that function too but whatever, I'm glad you are not making me miss out) and the fact that I can upload audio files, and follow other great people. Sigh, it's hard to leave.

I thought I would end with a song, so here it is:

Elton John - Electricity

And thus ends my journey in Typepad. 

Reflections on 2011

It was a great year, and I've done things I thought I would never do. I'm sure everyone feels the same way; every year we try something different, expose ourselves to new experiences and whatever you want to add in. 2011 was quite messy, full of fear because we were facing huge difficulties such as the tsunami in Japan (it was last year right?!), for me as a pre-U student I had my A' Levels, &c. Most importantly, I experienced Jesus's love upon me, exceedingly and abundantly. It's great to feel loved especially in times of great difficulty (why am I suddenly recalling literature now... ohh, there was a poem called "In Spite of Great Difficulty". Now I remember!)

Let me sum what I did in 2011:

• A Levels
• Countless consultations with teachers
• The STAR program (it wasn't that bad)
• Listened to gaming music (i.e. Final Fantasy, Castlevania and yes, DEVIL MAY CRY!)
• Anticipated The Hobbit
• Anticipated Sherlock
• Anticipated Dark Knight Rises
• Went into a Devil May Cry craze
• Went into a photography craze and that eventually died down (i.e. Instagram)
• Sang one of my creations in front of a huge audience (Aschenputtel www)
• Watched countless movies (I totally exceeded my normal number)
• Went into an a-ha craze
• Sang more opera songs (MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA)
• Did more online shopping 
• Indulged in ANTM (I got so disappointed by the ALL STARS season though)
• Created more videos than I expected (i.e. the Teachers' Day video is still my favourite)
• Did a photoshoot in school regarding my band "The Nameless"
• Disengaged myself from Japanese entertainment
• Started learning Italian
• Listened to more artists from Norway
• Did more covers (and uploaded some as well)
• Hardly drew (and there I was, thinking of creating an art portfolio)
• Became more pirate-y
• Obsessive behaviour towards higher video resolutions and BLU-RAY (greatest invention yet!)
• Frequented libraries to study (together with Diyana wwww)
• Wrote so many essays
• Read more One Piece (I kinda gave up)
• Played PS3 more than ever
• Was a boy with great appetite
• Was called Billy
• Cut my fringe (bye-bye long fringe) into bangs
• Colour-dyed my hair
• Barely read a few books
• Went out with friends to shop for clothes which includes trying on clothes (like finally!)
• Tried Lebanese food (love love love love love)
• Went to British Council for classes (LOVE LOVE LOVE my teacher Mr. Best!)
• Got my Doctor Who fix
• Had the first terrible gastric pain of all gastric pains during a Literature mock exam
• Missed studying (post-A Levels syndrome)
• Drank Ice Chocolate from the school cafe (and got addicted!)
• Rekindled my love for Fileserve
• Played Sims Social and got hooked
• Tried tap-dancing again (by learning from Youtube) and failed
• Became a Math genius (in my own terms)
• Played Neopets
• Got my Ricky Gervais fix
• &c

I can't think of anything else. It would be nice if you shared some with me but no pressure. Well, mundane stuff but life's like that. Dude! Right, now I'm bored.
