mini experimento with my hair

For a while now I've been wanting to put lemon juice in my hair. It's apparently supposed to make your hair lighter, so I thought "hey why not?"

And today's weather has been SPLENDID. Glorious weather, 24 degrees I think it was? 

And I was too broke to go swimming, so I thought I might make the most of this weather, even if I'm penniless.

So, I got to the lemon squeezing.

 I got a second pair of hands to help. Not that I needed it or anything.

It's also his birthday > so wish him a Happy Birthday.

I proceeded with the lemon squeezing, (no innuendos)..................(in-your-endo). Can I get more childish?

I even had time to check the post.

They keep sending me the same thing! Some 'Wellbeing' magazine, I have no idea why they keep doing that!

I put the mixture in a bottle mixed with warm water, and soaked my hair in it. Once done, I sat with my back to the sun, and enjoyed the scenery :)

Not really enjoyed it. Was just my feet, and my garden door.. Lame.

Either way, I enjoyed the sun :)

Got myself a couple million ice creams, which didn't really help with the heat, considering I didn't have much time to eat them as the sun melted them before I could enjoy them.

 

I got mega bored, and some hoodrats were chilling outside my garden, so I came inside and showered. And then there was the process of waiting for my hair to dry.

 Waiting..

Bit more waiting.

You can watch this while we wait. It has nothing to do with my hair or lemons or anything, it's just funny.

Eventually, my hair dried.

It went from this >

To this>

And did it work?...............................

No.

Oh well, at least I got a nice tan from the sunshine.

: D

Joke, I don't look like that.

just a lil' something

I was sitting at the bus stop, waiting for the 307 to take me to school, scrolling through my phone's settings, when I came across a setting option for my Messages. It was, if I wanted my phone to vibrate when I received a message, it will vibrate (if selected for). 'Notification Vibration'.
I got on the bus, sat upstairs, and luckily no-one was up there.
I read 'Notification Vibration' in my head.
I smiled.
I said it quietly aloud, and giggled to myself. I'm telling you, I was saying it over and over again, and I couldn't help but laugh by myself.
I don't even care if you think I'm a freak, I'm sure everyone has been in a similar situation where they've been looking at their phone, and something's made them laugh. Luckily, if someone was to come upstairs, they wouldn't know what I was laughing about.
But, I swear, just say it out loud a couple times, you'll find yourself at least smiling to yourself..

Here's just a lil' something:

M. Jackson

Today marks the 3rd year of Michael Jackson's death.
This deserves a post, to say the least, for he is an absolute legend.

"For much of his career, he had an "unparalleled" level of worldwide influence over the younger generation through his musical and humanitarian contributions."


Known as the 'King of Pop', Michael Jackson is recognised as the most successful entertainer of all time, going on to produce an album which is now known to be the best-selling album of all time, Thriller.
His songs contained crucial messages in attempting to improve the world and the people who live on it. He managed to achieved such success without using explicit words or the degrading of women.


I'm pretty sure most people, most people can remember where they were when they heard of his death.
Even though I was not his most biggest fan, I was in so much shock, so much shock. Like, this guys, just.. died, like bam, dead. Woah.


Say whatever negative thing you want about him. Go ahead and criticise his appearance, or continue using those false allegations against him, but at the end of the day, he is King. King of Pop. And his legacy continues to live on.
He's wicked, I'm just saying.
So this is for you, RIP Michael Jackson.

oh, girls

1) Yeah, something is really bothering me, and I just wanted to get it off my chest.

I log onto Facebook and see this. Okay, so you've changed your profile picture. "Oh, that's nice, I think I'll 'like' it".

Let's give it 6 hours, and I log back onto Facebook. I see this:

And it's the same picture.

Whyyyyyyyy? You obviously didn't just update your profile picture, 'cause it's the same one, so what the hell?

It's for the 'likes' isn't it?

Why are you desperate for 'likes'? Why do they mean so much to you that you have to constantly be changing your pictures every 2 minutes, just so it's seen by every creep on your Facebook? Surely you can't be dependant on Facebook likes to boost your self-esteem..

If you think this is directed at you, it probably is.

2) Another one. Is it illegal to smile in pictures?

Yeah, we all have a few photos where we like to look serious, or, I don't know.. are just not smiling. But it doesn't have to be EVERY photo. And smug smiles as well, that's annoying. A nice big cheesy grin is the one to do, I'm telling you.

^ That's such an unflattering picture, but whtevs.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

It also makes you look like you're having fun, even if you're not, but no-one has to know that..

3) Last one, I promise.

Guys might not agree with me on this point, but I don't care; sue me.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Again, we like to have pictures where we show off our bodies and certain.. uhm, assets. Girls and boys do this. Fine, whatever.

But whyyyyyyyyyyyy do all your pictures have to include your breasts or bum? Whether they've been put on show by a low cut top, or you've used a push-up bra, or you've bent your back to stick them out, it's not making you look good.

For the guys, yeah, of course you look good. And if you're the kind of person mentioned in point 1), you're basically saying you're willing to show flesh for 'likes' to boost your self-esteem. Yah, we've got a good story coming along here, loads of connections.

But it makes you look desperate. I would have more respect for you if you had a school photo up than if you were doing what I just mentioned up there ^

Once again, guys may have a different opinion, they may not. Either way, 

Sorry.

I for sure have a few pictures where I've not been smiling, or I have certain bits being brought out. That's fine, just not when it's done in all your pictures.

So that's me done. Just wanted to get my point across. I've been trying to find something to blog about for a while, so this is like one of my last resorts until I find something new and more 'interesting'.

Remember, we all have our opinions. This is mine.

do something amazing; give blood.

Okay, so last week (starting 11th June) was National Blood Week. And on the 14th of June was World Blood Donor Day, the birthday of Nobel Prize winner Karl Landsteiner who discovered the blood grouping ABO system.
The purpose of this post is kind of to raise awareness of how crucial and life-saving donating blood can be.

My dad used to work in the Blood Transfusion department in a hospital back in Kosova many years ago. I don't know how many times exactly, but I know he has donated a lot. He has inspired me and is one of the main reasons why I decided to give blood too.
I have donated twice since I turned 17 last year. I went to donate third time round and wasn't allowed due to new guidelines put in place.
THIS:

I'm 5'1, and weigh 48kg, so I'm nowhere near able to donate, at least until I'm 20. Allow it.
Donating blood gives you the most incredible feeling, knowing that your blood could potentially save another person's life. Your blood could also be used for research and development work to benefit people.
And blood cells are quickly replaced, so all in all it's a safe procedure.

It's SUPER EASY giving blood. So I think everyone should stop being lazy and book themselves an appointment for a donation. You get one of theeeeessssseeeee:

And then you get a keyring, and a bronze card, and a silver card, and a gold card, and loads of other crap which I won't be getting for a while :(
Seriously, giving blood is one of the easiest way to feel good about yourself.
ONE of. 'Cause I know some smartass is gonna read this and come up with another easy way.. ¬_¬

NBA

NBA: National Basketball Association.
Just, you know, in case you didn't know..

As you would've guessed by now, I'm a big fan of Basketball. Pretty hard to be a fan of Basketball in a country like England, where Football dominates, and also game viewings are usually from 2am and onwards. So you can see how much I'm having to put up with.

Unfortunately, the NBA season is coming to an end. Right now I'm watching Game 4 of the finals, Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunders.

For those of you who don't know how the finals work, I can tell you right now

:)


There are 7 final games, in which the two teams play each other every 2nd night. 7 games, because that way we can't have a tie. At the moment, Heat lead the series 2-1 (they've played 3 games). If they win this one, it will be 3-1, and so on. BUT if they win Game 5, and make it 4-1, there's no need to continue with Game 6 & 7, cause we have a clear winner.

So yeah, that's just a little lesson for those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

I'm praying Miami Heat win the finals. Nothing right now could bring me more joy than Heat winning, so I'm kind of dependant on that for my happiness.

One of the biggest topics that people are getting out of the finals is the feud between LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

For me, it's LeBron > Durant, but whatever.

This whole NBA season has been incredible. Heat started off at the top for East conference for a while, then went down quite dramatically behind Chicago Bulls, and have shot to the top (evidently) and into the finals!

Just a quick one for the Bulls: 

He ^ is definitely yummy

Okay, back to what I was saying. It's been a great season, and I'm so thankful for having ESPN to follow it, especially in HD.

Well, my channel has been scrambled for the past half an hour, so I have no idea what's going on. According to the NBA website it's halftime, OKC 49-46 MIA.

Who cares? We'll catch up with them in the 2nd half.

I'm going to continue this during the day, as I'm sitting here at 3:20 with a Fab ice cream and a scrambled channel. I'll let you know how it goes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've just woken up, and have checked the score, and couldn't be more happier. 104-98
Oh, I'm so happy. So so happy. So happy.

But I do know why^. 'Cause Miami Heat are the best of course.
Game 5 will be played this Friday at 2am. Very crucial game, which could potentially crown Miami Heat as champions. So, to every Heat fan out there: GEAR UP in your Heat shirts. I know I will (after I've stolen it off my cousin. Yes Ladon, I'll be taking it from you)


So yeah. Good morning for me. Good morning FROM me. Arrivederci!

..I don't know why I said that.

If you are interested in following the rest of the series, who wins, and all that crap, just go onto the NBA website.

this is family business.

If you try and tell me this doesn't happen in your house, there's a 95% chance you're lying.

My family mean the WORLD to me. Literally.

No, I'm gonna take that back and say the universe.
This isn't going to be one of them posts that will be like a slap in the face to those who aren't so close with their families, but instead one that shows all of you lot what I have, and maybe, I dunno, inspire the next generation of parents, aunts, uncles and so on.

Another reason for writing this post is because I told my cousins I would mention them in a post. So yeah, this is for you, losers.

I live with both my parents, two sisters, and younger brother. Our personalities clash too too too too much. Arguments can spark from the smallest thing, and when we argue? We bring the house down.
But my family is pretty cool. In fact, we're awesome. The Kelmendi's.

Then there's my cousins, who know me better than anyone else, including my immediate family members.
The amount of crap we say and do is unbelievable. But I do love them loads.

And the most infamous picture of one of my cousins:

                                                                                                       sorry Ladon, hehe.















When watching shows, like Jeremy Kyle show, or other crap like that, I can't help but think to myself, "How the hell did you get your family into a situation like that?"
I tried to see if I could get some screen shots on Google of the ridiculous headlines from that show. Something stupid, like, "My husband is sleeping with our daughter" or "Get your dog to stop sleeping with me in my sleep". You know, that crap. And it's just like, "WHAT THE HELL?"
How on Earth does a family get to that stage? Bloody hell.


Despite not really saying much, let's conclude. I love my family loads, and without them, I don't know what I'd do.
In the words of Kanye West:

"This is family business

And this is for the family that can't be with us"

Yeah, so, uhm, bye.

P.S. Edna Mode, sorry there's hardly any of you here, we don't seem to have that many photos :(
