Forro de Prata

I desperately hope that you have noticed the name change of my 'oh-so-fabulous' blog. Instead of World-of-Lauren, it is now Forro de Prata. Forro de Prata is Portuguese (however invented the spelling of the name of that language, I hate you) for Silver Lining. I would have liked to do Silver Lining as my blog name but that was taken, I would've also liked to do Silver Lining written in Italian as my blog name but that was too hard to remember. But Anyways, I like the way Forro de Prata sounds. I even made a little 'logo' thing if you want to call it that. It's nothing fancy but can't you just see it on T-shirts looking lovely. Of course, that will be when my blog gets famous which is pretty much a joke. But anyways, it should be linked to my blog so if you wanna put it on your site and be a sweetheart and advertise for me, by all means go ahead. No, I'm kidding. Of course, you can if you want. I seriously don't care.

Now on to new things, aren't you sad the Olympics are over? I wil be 18 the next time Winter Olympics are on, 18! Am I the only one who finds that altogether crazy? I think the Torino games were great though, it's quite a tragedy they're over. The Opening and Closing Cermonies were certainly... 'unique' but, they were cool in this weird sorta way. I'm quite excited for Vancouver 2010, it's really weird that they'll be in Canada where I live. My grandma lives right near Vancouver, I could like... go to the games! That would be really cool. Well, Ciao Bella's! It's a new week... full of homework and I must go conquer it! Not by choice though, cause I truly do hate homework. OK, enough procrastinating. I'm out, hugs!

My Favourite Trend...

I am in love with gaucho pants right now. Actually, any style of short pants - whether it be classic short pants, puddle-jumpers, pedal-pushers, culottes or gauchos I love them all! Some of my favourites include. So for those of you who don't know the difference between these fabulous styles - this is for you:

short pants
n : trousers that end at or above the knee [syn: shorts, trunks]

pedal pushers
n : calf-length slacks worn by women and girls

cu·lotte
n : a woman's full trousers cut to resemble a skirt

gau·cho
1. a cowboy of the South American pampas
2. gauchos Calf-length pants with flared legs

And since my dad is forcing me to get ready to go to my cousins (whom I am not very fond of) house, I will not be able to show you my favourite styles or get you the definition for puddle-jumpers. Sigh, what a way to end my long weekend.

Le Chocolat Spa

Would you not loooove to go to a chocolate spa? Especially a chocolate spa loocated in the one and only Hershey Hotel? Of course, it's in Hershey, Pennsylvania (how could it not be?). Here, Whipped Cocoa Bath, Cocoa Butter Scrub, and Chocolate Fondue Wrap are necessities! Now I'm sure the only thing keeping you from rushing right now to The Hershey chocolate Spa is the prices. So here are the deets - prices range from $45 to$105. But, you could be paying for anything from a Whipped Cocoa Bath to a Cocoa Massage. Now, that definately sounds good to me. But, if you're more of an 'order-in' type chick - try the Hershey Spa Online Store. You could buy anything from Bath Bars (try Milk and Honey or Strawberry Parfait) to Body Scrub (tempting in Chocolate Sugar and Noche Azul). And a bonus to the 'order-in' idea is a much lower price range, $16 - $24. So what are you waiting for? Check out the Hershey Chocolate Spa - either online or in person! And 1 last thing, happy late VDay to all! Hugs!

Falling In Love With... The Teahouse Wrap

Saturday Morning. Grumbling Stomach. Mall-Ward Bound. Pajama Clad. Achin' Toe. And if that doesn't give you an inside look to my world, this will...

I pretty much love this top! It's called the Teahouse Wrap and it's $138.00 American from anthrolpolgie.com. The only thing I'm not totally loving about this gorgeous shirt is that horrid price. Well, I do have those 400 bucks from dear old Ralphie and I think this shirt might jsut be in the budget. Well, I'll finish eating my fabulous MckyD hotcakes and drink up all my orange drink and then it's time to hit the mall... but first, hit the shower! Peace out to all you chick-a-dees and chick-a-dudes reading this!

Curious George In Theatres Today!!! Must See, Must See!

I am, like SO bored. It is Friday night and, I could do homework and get it all out of the way but I'm like, "NO!" Cause, I have an essay due Monday which I have not started off and I sooo don't want to do it because I hate essays, especially persuasive. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I near flunked on my essay last year... or maybe that I'm just MUCH happier sitting here in my pajamas listening to Jack Johnson's song Upside Down - the music video is SO cute! I love Curious George, and, I wanna see his movie debut. And, I don't really care that it got 2.5 stars because movie reviewers are just so close-minded and ugh! But anyways, I'm going to the mall tomorrow. And this is very good, except, I was there like - Tuesday. And I love to shop, but I'd love to shop even more if I had money! Speaking of clothes, we watched some old Russia, Rasputin, Tsar Nicholas movie (that is old, as I mentioned) and the tsaritsa - well, the lady who played the tsaritsa - had the cutest clothes!! She wore lots of pale pinks and purple and white lace, she had a soft look but then she had these huge and shiny brooches and ruby necklaces which looked OK sometimes. And she had this gorgeous pearl necklace, actually 2 pearl necklaces. They were a little much but, for a tsaritsa, I guess that's OK. But she could actually pull off some of her outfits quite well, I was surprise. Well, I'm out. My parting words for you - go see Curious George, in theatres today! Oh ya, just want to say thanks to lizzie!! who signed my blog on my last entry cause that is my first real comment and I'm so happy (as you can tell, I'm easy to please).

Turkish Delight

So, I always feel like updating my blog in the morning but then I tell myself no because, it's better to write in the evening cause I have more to say but I'm too lazy!! I have to do homework today and I wanna get it done even though I only have 5 hours cause yesterday my friend was over from after school and I had a sleep over till this morning and then I'm babysitting.

My new favourite song is 'Turkish Delight' by David Crowder Band from that Inspired by Narnia CD which I pretty much want to get it. I've listened to clips of that song so much but now I'm getting the full version of it and I'm happy!!

I wanted to relax today and sleep in tomorrow but I can't because today I'm doing homework and tomorrow morning is church. Oh well, I can't really complain! I at least hope we have a good lunch today, though.

Just Relax... Who Knows When Else You'll Get The Chance

Tomorrow is really, really the start of school which is totally sad because, who wants to go to school in all honesty? Learning would be ace... that is, if it wasn't so totally monotonous. So today, I'm just gonna breathe easy - stay in my pajamas till 4 o'clock and cuddle with my puppy - that's what I'm all about! I am totally ecstatic to see my friends again but, why can't we do that at the mall instead of school thank-you very much!

So anyways, watched that Felecity movie this morning - ya know the one on the WB that aired like, 3 weeks ago tehe! It was good and the youngest sister is soooo cute! Her name in the real world is Eulala Grace Scheel. Actually, most of the girls in that movie - Shailene Woodley, Katie Henney, Juliet Holland-Rose - are quite gorgeous.

Not to mention Kevin Zegers, who happens to be just a little bit of a hottie! If you don't believe me, see for yourself...

Welcome Back to Yours Truly!

After 2 weeks of visiting historic monuments, shopping till my daddy's back account is dry and stuffing my face with absolutely tantalizing food - I'm back! So, did ya miss me?

So, I guess it's the 2nd of January - weird! I spent New Years Eve on a 12 hour trains and ate at Pizza Hut (sehr deutsch, translation: very german - or maybe not so much) surrounded by exploding fire crackers (and being as half-witted as I am, I believed my dad when he told me Germany was being bombed - oh wow). New Years Day wasn't much better, 14 hours of flights, breaking my back lugging my 'bloated' and over packed suitcase (although it is embellished with white hawaiin flowers on a pink background which makes the agony a little better) and total exhaustian on my part. But, I guess it's worth it because now I can spend as much time as I want sleeping, watching English TV and stuffing my face with the remains of my desolate advent calender (how I absolutely adore those things) in the comfort of my home. Anyways, now I am completely langourous but headed for the mall which can give any day a sprinkle of hullabaloo!

That's it for me because, honestly, how much time can you waste writing something no one will ever read?

bonjour! je m'appelle bonom! JUST JOKES

K, so hi there. Today was a relatively good day. I got 100% on my math test and my mom said that this person said that i was next to get some award thing which is not true but i am very thankful for her niceness anyways. and I LOOOOOOOOVE shopping. Sorry, that was uncalled for. Ummm, my secret santa gave me chocolat yesterday. Nobody e-mails me!!!!!! I've sent bunches of people e-mails and they don't e-mail me back. Like, HELLO!!!!!!!!! Meanness, sometimes when I type hello I forget to add the last o so then i sounds like I'm being mean but I'm not. I might get a cell phone woooooot woooooot. That is exciting, I really want a camera phone but I dunno if my pops will let me. He probably won't if I continue to call him pops haha. Life is a roller coaster and I never though that I'd be saying that. I really hate it when you answer a sheet of questions for school but then students mark it and some get bad on it and some get good because it depends on how hard the marker is. Like that happened today and one of my friends basically copied my answers and she got 30 out of 30 and I only got 28.5 out of 30. Well not 'only' because if I thought that was a bad mark then I'd be turning into one of those people that I make fun of and hate. It's just annoying to know that I should've gotten 100% but didn't because of the person marking it. Sigh.

Moi... Back From My 'Busy' Life!

It's not that I have a busy life, just a lazy life. But I must say, I pride myself in my laziness - it's a true talent. I must give you an update though, I can't quite fathom I could remember all that has happened.

Well last night my life group had this mall scavenger hunt and then we went to a movie - Yours, Mine and Ours - cute but cheesy and the 2 eldest girls had the most GORGEOUS clothes and the two eldest boys are major hotties! Today I went shopping with my mom, they had the absolute cutest shirt, it just happened to be $50 and I happen to be $50 short on money! It is on my Christmas list though, so I'm really hoping for it. Tonight me and my mom went to Pride and Prejiduce (however you spell that funny word) and it was SUCH a great movie, I really loved it!

Between November 10 and now, I absolutely cannot remember what happened so I'll move on to my latest 'annoyance'.

Here goes: there's this girl in my class, and she's nice and everything - she's a friend, not a close one, but a friend all the same. Last year she bought a jacket almost the same as mine and I hate that because I adore this jacket and I am proud of my clothing collection, including outerwear, and I don't appreciate being copied. So, my plan was to wear this jacket before she did this year so people would know that the fabulous orange jacket was truly my 'domain' but she wore it first so now I'm just SOOOO steamng mad at her. I will freeze this winter, I am sure.

On Monday we are having a new girl join grade 9, I'm excited because I love to meet people but also a little dissapointed that she's coming. I have finally gotten to a point in my life where I am a friend with all the girls in grade 9. Just lately I became a friend with a girl that I have hated for over a year. If someone new comes that could stir things up, even if she is a very sweet girl.

Well now, I must go. Farewell to all who have the time and patience to read this!

life is GOOD!

OK, last weekend I went shopping and I got 3 shirts (woohoo), and then the whole week was boring tests and quizzes and homework which I should do now to get it out of the way for the weekend but who cares cause I'm not! Tonight I'm going to the mall and then my life group thingee (woohoo again) and then the whole next week will be tests and quizzes and homework and the dreaded report cards. So weekends are good weeks are bad! Very simple! Anyways, I'm out of my 'depression stage' or whatever you'd like to call that!

You know that nexopia site that I think is oh so stupid? Well, I made one for WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON!!! And then I actually started writing on it - I am totally going against my beliefs. Well, I don't intend to write on it anymore. The only interesting part is reading people's comments which is what I do and oh ya, looking at pictures. My best friend made a nex today and she put 5 pictures on and not 1 was of me! She had 1 picture and it was all our friends except me and then under it she wrote 'my friends' and since I'm a female I'm feeling just a little bit hurt about that. But not hurt enough to care!

In gym we are playing volleyball which I suck at and therefore don't really like but today I got to ref instead of play which rocked cause I got to stand on this tall thing and blow the whistle real loud.

I love life!

bitter envy and depression

I hate life. There's absolutely no purpose. I wish I could fall into a deep sleep like Sleeping Beauty and wake up only when my prince charming is there to whisk me away to a world of joy and happiness.

I don't even know what's wrong with me. Every little thing just piles up and makes life stink. Bitter envy and depression is my life right now. I hate how I can't take control of my life, it just goes on and I feel like a stranger watching my life as a horror film. Helpless. I mean there's nothing I can do about it.

There's no one I can talk to and I hate that. I want to be filled with joy once again but it seems to fake. Is everyone really as happy as they seem? Or is it just me living this screwed up life. Am I the only one with these kinds of problems?

So Glad It's The Weekend Again!

I hate school so much. Last year the subject I understand and enjoyed the most was math and now I can't understand a thing about it and I detest it with all of my being. My option (drama) is pretty fun but I don't like some of the people in the class so it's sorta annoying. Next half-of-the-year (not sure the professional name) I'll be taking Clowning and Puppeting if I can get into it and I'm so excited for that!

For LA we get to write stories and this was my idea: A fantasy about a world that lives upon the clouds full of marshmallow men (and ladies but marshmallow people doesn't sound as good as marshmallow men) and fairies. The most common source of transportation is something along the lines of a dump truck, which I haven't quite designed yet, but it will be so cool! I'm going to make up a bunch of cute animals too! So, do you like it? I wanted to do something really abnormal cause I'm so sick of writing stories and I wanna write somthing where I get to create it. I'm really excited about it! I just really hope I don't get marks off for it being sorta lame and stupid. Well, I don't think it's lame and stupid but she might (she being the teacher).

You know what bugs me? When people describe things as 'gay'. Wait, it's not that I'm offended by it or anything I just think it's so pointless. People are like, "That test was so gay!" What I wanna know is how is a test is gay?! I know there's some strange descriptive words (like 'da bomb' - which I am proud to say I do not say) but gay? Who comes up with these things!

It's The Long Weekend!

4 days of doing nothing except watching TV and eating food. K, well a little more than that but ya know what I mean. I have gotten so much clothes lately it's craziness, I feel pretty mean cause I get all this nice stuff and there's some poeple in the world who can't even afford an old, ugly t-shirt cause they live in such poverty. But anyways, I got the cutest coat at Jacob Conexion, it's blue plaid and it's down to the knees and I also got a cord jacket and it looks like there's a sweater underneat and I got a cream vest with fur around the neck, fur boots (mind you I did have to pay for some of this) and some other littler things.

Today I'm going to Blessings to get a Bible - I'm getting the Message cause I totally understand it which pretty much rocks. I have to buy it with my own money though.

Oh, guess what else! Our school sells mag subscriptions and since my mom works at the school we get half price! I'm getting LouLou, Shine Brightly, Fashion18 and ElleGirl!

I'm so starved right now. My dad is supposed to be coming home sometime in the next half hour to feed me but if he doesn't come home soon I'll have to take matters into my own hands.

For supper last night I made Bowtie Alfredo, it was my best yet! We also had salad with a oil vinegar type dressing and some buns - sooooooo good!

Nothing To Say... So Far Away... Talking To You...

Haha, that's a song! So I'm in school and I have a lot of homework. But I made a new friend (yes, I realize that sounds lame and only kindergarteners say that). But I did! We were laughing so hard cause we do the stupidest things. It's halarious. We do things that would get us in trouble and we set everything up for our grand plan and then we totally freak out about how we're gonna get in trouble - do fun!

I made a sorta friend too. She's so nice and she goes to my church so we might go to youth together (my youth has finally gotten good!!! I actually learned something and almost started crying (ahhhh, how embarassing)). She's so sweet though!

I have to do a devo for my class tomorrow, I'm reading from my Precious Moments book (awwww) it's about Thanksgiving and it's gonna be so cute!

Don't Worry - I've Not Abandoned You

I'm not one of those people who starts a blog and then completely forgets it (well, at least not yet) so rest assured that I'm here - just verrrry busy. I should be doing homework right now, (had a lot of it this weekend - read 4 chapters of the Hobbit (90 pages), do a story map for the first 10 chapters and do summaries for the first 10 chapters and that's only the beginning) but I'm not. My birthday was swell - got lots of great presents which I will tell you about when I have the time - I haven't even had the time to open 2 of my birthday present CDs. My big news for the day is that I'm adopting a manatee - y'all should too, they're endangered you know. His name's Howie and his favourite activity is tipping the researcher's canoe - how cute! Gotta run - have to start on my Hobbit story map which would be fabulous except for the fact that I can't draw. Y'all should check out my Science teacher's homework blog, it rocks - not. Anyways, go to it and see all my Science homework (check the grade 9 homework) - http://mrwerthshomework.blogspot.com.

I HATE MY LIFE!!!!!

It's true - I hate it. Nobody knew that when I went to the washroom it was cause I couldn't hold in my tears anymore or that I put on make up to cover my tear stained face. Nobody knows that tonight I'll probably cry myself to sleep and tell myself that I am a waste of breathe. There are 2 songs that represent my life right now. 'Welcome to My Life' by Simple Plan and 'Breakaway' by Kelly Clarkson. But the people singing those songs don't really mean it - they're famous, they can have whatever they want. Me, I mean what those songs say.

I'm trying to be happy because my birthday's coming up and at least my friends love me but it's so hard. I wanna run away - I can't take this anymore.

Extra, Extra: Hottie Turned Seriously Ugly!

Nice title, hey?

I should really be doing my homework but instead I am taking time to update my seriously lacking blog!

Days Till My Birthday: 7 (aka 1 WEEK!!!)

The phone just rang. I hate answering the phone so much. I hate talking on the phone too. Phones are terrible things.

I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson right now. I'm really into her music right now!

We have a very serious matter at out hands. Kalan Porter is no longer hot. For those of you who watched Canadian Idol you also witnessed the sad and schocking truth. He used to be so totally hot last night and know, well, he's not very hot. Go to www.idol.ctv.ca and then to pictures to see the once very hot hottie turned ugly and then go to www.kalanporter.com to see how hot he once was. It's really sad.

Been So Long!

Haven't written in here for almost a week. And then this morning I was trying to log on to my account but I forgot my username and password but I am finally on!

Days Till My Birthday: 11

I started school last Tuesday. I don't really like it but hey, what can I do. It's really weird going to school without my brother. It's just me in the school, I can't really explain it but it's weird.

I also went on the Jr. High Campout Thursday till Friday. It was OK, I've never really liked the campout so I guess it was better than I expected.

Wonderful Last Day of Summer Vaca

It's really quite sad that summer vacation is almost practically over. I start school TOMORROW! But, today was quite a good day because I went to my friends (who are twins) birthday party and it was so fun and most of my friends were there so it was a good time. I'm glad I didn't have to spend all day moping around. It was kind of sad though because the twins are going to a different school (public school - yikes, very scary. i never wanna go to public school) so it was our last day with them before their new school. We had tons of fun anyways though. We went to a lake and went on paddle boats and made water ballon families (actually that was just me and 2 of myfriends, everyone else had a water fight with the ballons) and ate yummy ice cream and pizza. It was so fun. And tomorrow's school - that's really sad.

Days Till My Birthday: 17 (woohoo, it's getting closer!)
