Near Death Experience :P

Sup everyone!
Miss me? Haven't blogged in a while... lol. I went on vacation with my family! MY DAD AND BROTHER CAME BACK TO AUSSIE!!! Yippee! And and... my dad bought me and Tessa the newest ipod... Both of us got one each! And its this pretty green colour. And we DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR IT!! Gosh... And all my friends got it for free anyway... Pffft.
Rollerblading is a life threatening sport. I'm totally serious. And not drunk. I don't like the taste of alcohol... Anyways, I went over to Isabel's house. Jessie and Manogna came over too. We played Cludo, which was fairly okay... Jessie won...mendvmavdgvijjvoisadhg... grrr... I was soo close to winning! I just HAD to roll a stupid insignificant dumb old number 1! On the last try! The most important roll of the dice! How unlucky can a person get?
Then, after that, we went rollerblading at the park. Bell and Jess brought their rollerblades. Mango and I didn't have a pair cos we haven't rollerbladed before. So we took turns. Bell and I wore one to the park. hahahaha. Kinda like a scooter. Kind of... And then... Dun dun dun dun..... Bell and Mango were making us go on Mango's street. Which happened to be... A slope! And me and Jess were the ones with the rollerblades! And don't forget, this is the FIRST TIME I WAS ROLLERBLADING!
So Jess went ahead, grabbing onto Mango's hand and I was left a little behind stopping the blood circulation on Bell's hand... I was soo freaked. We were going really fast and Bell was running after me. Then I wanted to slow down, right? So I kind of turned towards the left and then...
CRASH! I banged onto the side pavement. Fall down No. 1. And then I stupidly decided to try again... I was shouting at Bell the whole time. We were going really fast downhill... And then... We were rollerblading down too fast, and I fell flat on the hard, rough, road...
You know, I was wearing jeans that day... And it RIPPED!!! The skin on my knee was scraped off. It was gruesome and disgusting... And Bell was like, "Are you okay? Omg, your jeans are ripped. Hey, think about it. People pay a lot to get holes in their jeans. You just saved like $500." Pffffffttt. Who says that? lol. I was laughing my head off. And then Jess and Mango came back up again. Apparently, Jess fell once too, at the end, but it wasn't that bad. Btw, that's my ripped jeans. >>>
And then, yea... I thin that's it... Owh Mah Gawsh! I didn't talk about food throughout this whole post... That is such a big accomplishment! I''m soo gonna tell everyone about this! Muhahahhahaahhahahah... Ehehehe...

Creepy Crawlie's B'day Party

Heyloo, I haven't been blogging for a while and there's heaps of stuff to tell... I'll just have to take a deep breath and type it all, and it's all gonna be like shortened and squished. Or if i can't be stuffed, I'll probably cut it into two posts. *deep breath*. Okay, so on Thursday, no wait, Wednesday (I checked my school diary), a reptile handler came to our Science class. It was really cool! Well, sort of. Anyway, they brought turtles, lizards, a baby crocodile and *shivers* snaakessss... The turtles were really cute and small. And there were heaps of different kinds of lizards. There was one called the two-headed lizard, cos it had a bum that looked like its head... How greath would that be! haha. And then there were small snakes. And then he brought out this gigantic one. But he said it was still small, cos it was gonna grow to like 6 metres. 6 METRES! That's like 5 of me! And the baby crocodile snapped at me... We got to touch all of these creatures and some were scaly, and there were some that were kinda slimey... Eurggghh... Then was... Oh, yea! Jessie's B'day party! It was supposed to be a sleepover, but mum said I couldn't stay over... But that I could stay until really late, so it was okay I guess... I got Jessie this pencilcase which was black and said 'Private Property' on it. And I stuffed sweets inside. lol. We played the Wii and Super Smash Brawl. I looove that game. It's so much fun. We had sushi for dinner. Too sweet, so I didn't have that much. But, hey, made it up with junk food. And then and then! We watched Death Note. It wasn't the Anime series. It was the movie which was pretty good. Then, we sang the B'day song to Jessie and had chocolate cake. Jessie said she specially got it for me... lol. Thanks Jess! haha. I won't bore people with a long dreary post so I'm gonna stop now. More holiday things on my next post! Cya.

To the Vineyard!

Yo again!
My holidays have STARTED!! One week earlier than everyone else... Heehee... 3 weeks of non-stop fun. At least I hope so. :) Let's see, last Sunday. I know it's like ages ago. But I haven't had the time to blog and it was a fun day. Anyway, in the morning, we went with Uncle Alvin and Aunty Mary to this vineyard-place-thing. It was a like 45 minute drive. Not that long really. But still.
The scenery was soooo pretty. The sky was like my favourite shade of blue and the clouds were oh-so fluffy and white. Wish I took a picture... Gah. We were kind of in the country already. And we went to this sort of gormet restaurant. They had entree on the menu. LOL. Sounds really cool and frenchy if you say it right. lol. For the entree, we ordered this smoked salmon tart thing (i really like it cos i really like salmon), a weird quail thing (not my kinda thing), soup (really yummy) and this mini lobster prawn thingo (not exactly sure what it was).
The kids, my sister and I, and Isaac and Samuel (two little boys my bro's age) went outside. The space was GINORMOUS! It was like totally massive green space. It was awesome! Imgaine if you had a garden like that in behind your backdoor! We were just running like crazy and skipping all over the place. It wa like never ending wide space, man! You could do whatever you wanted without having to worry about banging into something! lol.
Then came the main course, I had to order a kids meal, along with Samuel and Isaac. We had fish & chips, lasagna (huge one) and a schnitzel thing. It was all pretty okay. Then came thr adult's food. Aww... Yum... My sis had fish (it was like gormet with potato at the bottom of it), my mum had this lamb thing (perfectly cooked, my fav?), Aunty Mary had duck (it was cooked chinese style, so I had it quite a lot), and finally Uncle Alvin had this beef thing (okay, pretty okay).
Next came.... OMG! My favourite part, DESSERT! hahahahaha. We ordered were gonna have chocolate souffle and creme boule, BUT it was all finished... NOOO!! lol. So instead we had a gigantic chocolate cake (with truffle inside too), cherry cheese cake (couldn't taste the cherry so it was good. I hate red cherries), a sticky date & orange pudding (nice enough), and a nutty carrot cake. It was all really cool and fun. But all of us were stuffed like turkeys on Christmas day. (Felt like using a lame line).

Longest post ever! Well, so far...

Yo everyone! Erica here, again! Okay, let's see. My cousin Leesh had her b'day party on last Friday! It was really fun! We had lasagna for dinnah! Which is quite normal, since we have that almost everytime we go over. Which is fine, cos I love lasanga. The lasagna doesn't have meat in it though... Cos my cousins are vegeterians. But then, who's complaining? Anyway, there was this yummelicious caesar salad, courtesy of my Aunty Clara and my mum. And then... omgomgomgomg! For dessert! We had APPLE PIE! SARAH LEE APPLE PIE!!! AND AND AND!! We had Leesh's B'day cake. It was this mango cake thing with cream and stuff. It was really delicious too! I can almost taste it in my mouth now... Aaaahhh... Yumm... LOL! We watched 'Final Fantasy' as well. Last one I think. And then we watched 'ghost whisperers'. And even though it's not that scary, I kinda freaked out a little after. I seriously need to get over my irrational fear of scary movies. *shakes head* Next, I shall talk more about school. We had this music presentation coming up. And first I was gonna sing 'Santa Claus is coming to town' with Jessie and Vicky playing the piano... And then I changed my mind and went with Viv, Mango and Bell. We were gonna do something like the show 'Thank God You're Here'. (It's this really funny show we all love.) We wrote half the script and all, but it turned out to be really lame... Soo another change of plans... THEN, we were gonna get Bell to play 'Entertainer' on the piano, and the rest of us would act out this killing scene with puhcing, pulling hair, stabbing and stuff. We were supposed to be fighting over chocolate. But that plan went down the drain too. Gah. And then, we realised that the music presentation was THE NEXT DAY!! AND WE HAD NOTHING PREPARED!!! NADA!! Plus, Mango was sick... So in the end, FINALLY, me and Viv were gonna sing 'This Love' by the Veronicas. But Viv changed the lyrics... Teehee. It went something like this.
I can eat the cho-co-late,
Taste it in my first bit,
Chocolates in this chocolate town,
Save me from the yumminess.
And so on, kinda lame, but cool in a way. We practised that all lunchtime. We were gonna use Viv's ipod. Which I knew wasn't goin ta turn out very well. At the end of lunch, like minutes before the bell, Viv was parctising her piano piece. Which happened to be 'Heart will go on' in Titanics. And I sorta knew the lyrics and sang a little.
Vicky: Oh, Erica, why don't you sing this instead? It'll sound really good.
Me: B-but, I don't know all the lyrics!!
Vicky: It's okay! We can go print it out now!
Jessie: Lets go!
All of us run downstairs, find the song, print it and run back upstairs. When all this was happening, the bell rang.
Me, Jess, Vic: VIV! WE GOT THE SONG LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!!
We were charging into the room.
Music teacher, Ms Friend: Girls?
Oh-my-gosh! I had no idea the teacher was already there. We all burst out laughing for a bit. Then I stand facing the piano and start singing it. Half way, when the song was almost finished, I turned around, and... THE WHOLE CLASS WAS THERE SITTING DOWN ALREADY! I was totally shocked. Anyway, I sang that song for the music presentation. That was the one day I actually sang the whole 'Heart will go on' song... And I already had to do it for my music presentation. It was really scary...
Phew! I finally got all I wanted to say out. That's probably the longest entry I have ever posted.... I'm proud of myself! lol. Well, tune in for more of Erica's Life next time. Bye!
