7 Questions with Gentri Lee

Back to normal posts soon, I promise!

1. If you were to start your own business, what would it be?
Hmm, probably start music tutoring. So, singing, violin, piano, and guitar lessons for all ages. :)

2. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed, do you embrace your grumpiness or try to fight it?
Don't do anything. And then I'll usually get more grumpy. My mom hates it!

3. What's the very first memory you have?
A yellow corridor when I was about 1yr old

4. The world is ending, what do you do? Allow yourself to die? Fight? Hide? Etc.
Pray to God to save me. Seriously, I'd hide, in a cave somewhere, and then beg God to spare my life and just end up in Heaven somehow,

5. What is your favorite meal of the day?
Breakfast. I love waking up to awesome food. :) Like crossiants, and youghurt, and Special K.

6. How do you best learn? Visual? Listening? Hands on?
By reading. That's how I learnt guitar, and that's how I do my school work. Read, read, read, read.

7. What is your favorite joke? 
I don't really have one. Except probably this one.

"A blonde, a brunette, and a ranga walked into a bar. You'd think the brunette would've saw it."

Blue and white polka dots

I've painted my nails twice this week. From blue and white, to pink and white. :) Coz I can, and I got bored.   The only reason I took off the blue polish is coz I had Girls' Brigade so I had to take them off.

And I'm lining up guest posters for the next couple of week. So if you're interested contact me {here}, or comment below with your blog URL so I can contact you! :)

And an awesomely awkward picture to finish it off. Is my dog
not the cutest thing in the world?

So I Forget... Don't Judge. :)

Hey,

So I was gonna post yesterday. I'm being super slack. But maybe it's good. I may have possibly got two guest posters lined up for sometime next week. Amy, and Sam. 

I'm trying to improve my blog look. Does anyone know how I can make gadget titles? You get what I'm talking about don't you?

So I'm Floundering... In The Deep End

Hey,

BIG AWESOME NEWS!! Eloise is coming to town!! All the way from the other side of Oz to my side! But... I may not be able to see her. Which is gayyyy! I actually hate not having enough money to do anything. >_< I'm really bummed about not getting to see Eloise (not that the plans or anything is set in concrete)

Eloise... <3

On a side note, my bruise is healing up well (read about it {here}, and {here}) I can barely feel it. 

And you wouldn't believe but I've been working on this post over the weekend and I just couldn't find the right words to say... I've always wanted this blog to be a honest space. A space for people to come and talk. But, then again, honesty and I are not best friends. It's the fact that I keep my major problems to myself. I won't talk to anyone about them. Not even Jess, who's my mentor. (Which is stupid I know but I keep my emotions under the dirt. Can't have everyone seeing I'm not perfect, can I?) I don't know why I'm doing this. It's just happening... Just putting it out there, I do not have my life all together. It's fraying at the seams, and no-one but myself to blame, and no-one (it seems) to turn to.
