''Two can keep a Secret, if one of them is Dead''

''Got a secret, can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save.
Better lock it, in your pocket,
taking this one to the grave.
And I show you that I know 
you won't tell what I said.
'Cause two can keep a secret, 
if one of them is dead.''

As some of you might have guessed from the title, my newest ''obsession'' is the American TV series Pretty Little Liars and that^^ is the into song. I especially love that song. It's kinda creepy, but it sticks to your brain and tays there... My favorite characters from the series are probably Aria and Spencer because I can somewhat identify myself with Aria and I just love the way Spencer's brain works. Hehe, I don't know but she is so amazingly clever but seriously sporty and modern and cool, and no one would dare to ever call her a nerd. I find it cool that the 4 girls are all so completely different, with Hanna the drama queen, Aria the crazy/hippie one, Spencer the intelectual and Emily the sweetheart. 
Also the show has quite a cast of hot guys. My personal favourite up to now is still Spencer's ex-boyfriend Alex Santiago (Diego Boneta). I fell in love with him mostly because he knew how to dance. Demonstrated in the kitchen scene. If you can remember.
The storyline is also really good, because it keeps the tension there, and there are always unexpected twists and turns. I also find that annoying though, because I just want them to finnaly find out something that is actually important. But before that ever happens ''A'' just makes sure that all proof of what ever is lost.
So in a very few days I have watched all of season one and nearly half of the second one. Thats just how exciting and good it is. I've even somewhat neglected Eragon because of it :/ 
I am now halfway through book 4. Oromis and Glaedr died, which was pretty obvious to happen but still annoyed me soo much... and then Roran succeeded with his crazy plan to ''capture'' Aroughs. Eragon and Arya are sword fighting and Glaedr finally comes out of his depression to instruct Eragon again. (Yup, he IS dead, but is ''heart of hearts'' survived and is with Eragon which means that only this physical body really died.) The funnies thing recently is that Saphira is so vain, she lost one of her scales on her nose and makes a huge fuss about it, like and human girl would about a spot :D
Tomorrow we are having an interhouse crosscountry ompetition... -.- YAY.... Not. I can hardly jog for the length if the run without stopping.... I haven't surfed in 6 weeks either..... :( so I am completely unfit. But good news is that we are now finally doiing basket ball in PE, instead of volley ball (which I hate) and also because of the competition, we are allowed to wear homeclothes tomorrow! Yayyyy!

This is my monday post, so byeeeee! oh and Thanx for the NEARLY 300 views this month! XX

International Love

Brian Jeong & Ethan Leeman: "International Love" by Pitbull (Ft. Chris Brown) - YouTube

I absolutely love, love, looooooveee this! Especially Ethan.... the guy on the right, with the white cap. Wow those guys are so amazing! My lovely friend Laura showed me this video because she was researching dance for her GCSE PE Dance and she found it and now we are both absolutely obsessed.
I am still reading Brisingr but I am on the last 100 pages so I will hopefully finish it fairly quickly. Eragon is now in Ellesmèra and Oromis just told him that Brom is his father rather than Morzan! So that is a veryy good thing, and also Orik is now King of the dwarves thank god. Nasuada is really annoying me because she has become so posessive of Eragon, I kann understand that if you are on the brink of war, you woudn't want your best fighter to disappear but a) for a small about of time they would be fine without him and b) I think it's stupid of her to be like that, when her behaviour only aggrivates and alienates Eragon even more than necessary. It seem like she is really full of herself...
The some of the other books I bought via amazon have finally arrived, I was really beginning to worry. I have now got The Power of Six (by Pittacus Lore) which is a sequel to I Am Number Four and I had allready read on epubbud.com but now I have the book, which I preffer way more than just reading it. And a third squel was announced which is called The Rise of Nine. Yayy! Also I have now got Pretties by Scott Westerfeld and Extras also by him. Now I just need Specials to complete the series.
My birthday is in a little less than 2 weeks which on one hand is reallt good but on the other hand not because I have not fullfilled my list of things to do befor I'm 16.... But I am staying in Portugal this time! I'm going to Berlin another 2 weeks after thaat though, because I am taking a trip with my History class there in the Carnival Hols. I am really excited mostly because the program is quite fun (we're going ice skating!!!!) and also because I will be very much enjoying to boast about my German skills..... hehe...
This post isn't particularily long as I a) have to still do my homework and b) am watching Sherlock 2 again, for the 3rd time. Soooo byee! XX

Consulting Detective: Sherlock.

At the moment it seems I am quite obsessed with Sherlock Holmes. No wonder, with the second film being even more brilliant than the first. (I have now already seen it twice and the devil pony and the urban camouflage are still as good as the first time! A lot of my friends said I should watch the BBC version of Sherlock. And because of this so called obsession, I did. I have now finished the first season :( which only has three episodes anyways :'( and I am absolutely in love with this modern portayal of Sherly, Watson and Moriaty. Where I have to compare Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch I just have to say that they are both brillian in their own way and completely suited for the different portrayals of Holmes that they act as. Downey Jr. is perfect in his 1890ish area in which modern technology has to be replaced with an even higher level of unike brilliancy which edges onto madness. And Cumberbatch presents Sherlock as a modern megamind who is droven by an aspegerish focus which repersents the modern day life well. Both Watsons are portayed amazingly as well of course, where I have to say that where in the film Sherlock is the childish one in the series Watson is the one who I worry about most of the time.
I have moved on to Brisingr. It is amazing as are all the others. I have just realised that he is only 28 and he has released four 1000-page-bestsellers already! WOW! I know that there is not going to be a 5th book of Eragon, since he had already only planned on writing tree books in the beginning but I really hope that there is another one to come beause I know I will miss Eragon once I have finished his story.
Brisingr is as espected, and already said a really good book, and Murtagh reappears. Yay... kind of... or not. I absolutely loved him in book one, but now he has become Galbatorix' tool and tries to kill his own brother, what a f**ktard! Also Elva, the girl who Eragon intended to bless, but actually cursed, has become a slightly annoying character. I find her decision to keep her gift good, it was exactly what I wanted, but I never wanted her to ABUSE her power!!! I guess she is just a two year old toddler but for the adult brain she owns she shud behave more wisely.
So one and a half more Eragon's to go and I am already dreading the end (which doesn't cause me to read any slower but still,..). I did buy the rest of the Uglies on Amazon some time ago but they havent arived yet... Arghhhhhh! *rage* I want them noooww! Also I want my newest Sookie book! I miss True Blood.
This is the first week I went back to normal school, mocks are over and I have already got some results... thre B's in History, Chemistry and Maths.... In all of which I am aming for A's at the end of the year. So life is just going on I guess... Oh, and I also had my first Little Shop of Horrors rehersal yesterday, which was basicly only learning parts of two of the songs but I am really happy because it sounds really good!
Nothing else to tell.... Byeeeeee!

29th of February

Ok, I am really sorry. I said I woudn't be late again but now I am -.-
So that said first, I only have one more day of examss! Yayy! Portuguese Foreign Language tomorrow and them I'm finished!
I DID get Crossed (by Ally Condie, sequel to Matched) the same day I posted the last post, and I've already finished it. I must say, I do not particularily like the books, mostly due to the fact that I still live Xander more, even if you did get to know Ky a bit better. I actually started to like Ky, since half of the chapters are written in his perspective but, even if I now sympathise with him more as an individual, I still don't like the fact that Cassia runs after him while Xander is just perfect for her. Also, Indie, I liked her in the beginning but seriously, get over yourself, your an Aberration, fine, I get it, but you dont have to steal peoples Matches...! So, I liked this book if I can block out the stupid love story...
More books arrived: Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance which are the rest of the Eragon series, YAY! I'm halfway through Eldest right now so Murtagh is still ''dead'', which is actually better than being a traitor I think, and Arya was just prooven to be a 100 year old princess... Nice... I really do hope Eragon and Arya will end up together, even if there is a massive age difference, she could basicly be his great-great-great-grandmother.... WOW! I just realised tht....
Then I just watched Leap Year which is such a nice film!! I really liked it! It's about Anna (Amy Adams) who wants to marry her long time slimy boyfriend and when he doesn't propose to her she goes to Dublin to propose to him, on leap day. But since there are weather problems, she lands in Brittain and then has to make her journey with the slightly arrogant guy who is willing to drive her to Dublin because he is broke... An then the car breaks and they have to pretend to be married and they slowly fall in love.... yaayyyyy.... it's an absolute chick flick but every girl needs those once in a while....
Then some funny things happened in school, 1st of ll I found out that my friend Ines has a photographic memory of something ;P and 2nd the other day after school a guy from one of the higher years lost his glove and didn't notice and she ran after him screaming ''Your Glove!!! Your Gloooovee!!!! YOUR GLOVEE!!!'' and he and she hadn't even noticed that she had behaved really embarrassingly..... I still love you sweety don't worry, sometimes you are just hilarious!
So not a very long post today.... since I don't want to annoy everyone by posting up every little detail about my failed exams (aka. all of them), Byee XX

THE END?

Hmmmm, it's good to be back! I'm really sorry for the long break! First of all I am back in Portugal and school has already started. And as you might have guesses, with it, EXAMS. I'll talk about that later...
First of all, I hope U all had a nice Xmas and a happy New Year! I had a very good Xmas with loads of lovely prezzies and most of my family, YAY! (It was also really exhausting though!) I got mostly chlothes, and 2 DVD's and, the best part 2 (only :( ) new book's, YAAAY! 1st of all Plötzlich in Peru (Suddenly in Peru) by Chantal Schreiber, a German/Austrian book, which they have unfortunately not translated yet. It is a really nice book, one of the girlier kind I sometimes read, and even in that genre, I havn't read such a good book in a really long time. It's about a girl who finishes school and makes a snap decision to take part in a charity/tourism/holiday in peru for 3 months. She has a boyfriend, whom she loves overexaguratedly (is there such a word?), but with whom she has problems, and later breaks up, after he admits he cheated. So the girl, Elena, works in an orphanage, discoveres Cusco and the inka ruins and has spanish lessons, with a half Dutch, half Peruvian guy called, Sebastián. Who obviously turns out to be quite cocky and arogant, but also nice. And Elena slowly and unintentionally fals in love with. I said I love Cole (Wolves of Mercy Falls), but Sebas, I love equally if not more!!!! He is just perfect! Tall, dark but blue eyed, and the sightest bit full of himself :)
The other book I got was Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Which is also AMAZING! I absolutely loved it! I read it in about 4 days (and nights) during which most of my family complained I was being anti-social. Hmpf. But I'm ok with that because they didn't know on how much they were missing out! HAH! I didn't fall in love with anyone in specific , but my favourite character was probably Murtagh. I find the story amazing, because it is worked out untill the smallest details, has an independant language and species which are made real by all the details that are nown about them. I was nearly crying when Brom died and when Eragon fought the Shadow I was biting my finger nails. One thing I hope will hapen is a relationship between Eragon and Arya, but I expect that everyone is interested in that aspect so there will be another twist. Oh, and I hope that Murtagh will be accepted by everyone even though he is Morzan's son. Which I already know will not happen since he will betray the Warders and unite with Galbatorix :'( I bought the other three books in the series and I hope Eldest will arrive soon since I've already got Brisingr.
In the film world there is also news. I recently watched Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, New Year's Eve (who hasn't? :P) and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Which I all more or les loved.
Mission Impossible was just full of action and the typical kind of special agent film I love. Tom Cruise did a great job at playing Ethan Hunt, again, and there was the perfect mix of comedy and action provied to make a really good film. In this film, I especially loved Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, who was just too comical. And I thought the twist with Ethan's wife was really interesting, but also hindering since now he can't randomly fall in love with any girl he has to save, anymore (which I thought was kind of fun :P).
New Year's Eve was essentially exactly like Valentine's Day as was predictable, but it was still a good comedy. I just love any film starring Ashton Kutcher.. ;) Not just that... But really of the many relation ships staring and ending Ashton and Lea were probably my favourites. And Zac Effron's ending was just absolutely unanticipated! Why does he end up with an 'old' woman?? I mean I thought it was sweet for him to let her New Year's Resolutions come true and I would have been fine with their kiss at the end IF she hadn't been his mother's age. Also Sarah Jessica Parker's ending was quite weird, since in the film it was all more about her daughter... But oh well, I liked everything else.....
And finally: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. One word: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!! Just amazingly hilarious! I completely and absolutely adore Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock. And Jude Law did a brilliant job as ''Watson''. Already in the first movie I loved the way Holmes get's portrayed as a parcially-insane genious and how he though that keeps surviving and making the craziest ''Urban Camouflage'' suits ever. I loved that he and Watson come to his wedding all bloodly and dirty and beaten up, and that he pushes Mrs. Watson of the train into a lake, in order to ''earn her trust''! And the best part was the questionmark at the end. I just didn't like the part where they killed off (?) Irene Adler, who was also brilliantly played by Rachel McAdams. There are statements that they will make a 3rd Holmes film, so there is still hope that she isn't actually dead, because there could not be a happy ending to the trilogy without Holms and Adler ending up together. 
Great news from other new films in 2012 :) First of all Magic Mike is to be released in late June, starring ALEX FRICKING PETTYFER, Joe Maganiello ans Channing Tatum! Man, they're all good looking! And then What to Expect When You're Expecting comes out in May!! This ones also includes Joe :D YAY! But also Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Matthew Morrison, the movie will just be a lot of fun I hope!
As I still am in exam week, this has actually already taken up too much of my time, I should be studying Chemistry right now so that is what I am going to do now. I have finished Art, Bio and my English Assessment on Macbeth, of which only Art went relatively well and which drastically increased my hatered for English.
I just got Crossed by Ally Condie, sequel to matched and will start reading it if I find any time!


Sé onr sverdar sitja hvass! May your swords stay sharp!
OH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 EVERYBODY!!! XXX

Jingle Bell Rock

Ho, ho, ho from Germanyyy!
Yes, I am writing this post form Germany, where I will be spending my holidays with my lovely family :) At the moment it is just my grandma, my aunt and uncle and 8 of my cousines (of which 7 are male, and from the same  aunt :P), and my mom. Family Christmases are always a big deal, and they are always really nice but also extremely exhausting.
The only bad thing, I think I already mentioned this on a previous post, I have fricking exams the frist fricking day I get back to school! Soooooo, I need to study in Germany. For this purpose I carried my ~10kg heavy schoolbag around various airports and train stations.... And now even though it IS the first day here I deffinightly SOULDN'T be blogging instead of doing actual work :S buttt it's so much more funnn, as you may have guessed I am very good at procrastination, which is not one of my best traits.
My journey was good except for the part where I had to wake up at 4:30 am IN THE MORNING! Oh but the rest was good, I relatively like flying and after I had to take a 2hr train for which I ddn't pay because no one asked for my ticket (my mom was there too, so it wasn't my fault :P).
 The Strictly Come Dancing Season ended! Guess who won? HARRY JUDD OF COURSE! I mean I had no doubt that he would because I had amazing talent and a great chemistry with Aliona, who is an absolutely amazing choreographer too! He was the only one who got to perfect 40 scores in the finale! And he just looked so amazing in all four dances! I am going to be actually sad that the season is over because I loooove watching those dances, in my oppinions it's not thattt much about the celebrities but they also make the whole thing more interesting. It would be worth it to be a british celebrity just to have the chance to go on to SCD! I wouuuuld absolutely love to do a show like that.... Yeahhh, that's not happening :(
I finished Matched (by Ally Condie) the day after I first posted about it, and I was completely right about the ending and her ending up with Ky. I mean, I get the appeal of something forbidden, but why can't any girls EVER be happy with what they've got,... in books...  I mean first of all Catniss, who can't accept her love for Peeta and then Gale and the can't decide, and with that she ruins everything! And thhhen, in Matched, why the hellll can't Cassia just stay with Xander??? It was obvious that she was pretty much in love with him anyways before the whole microcard incident, so why does she have to rebell? Ally Condie might have thought that it would make a more interesting ending, it probably did, but I think the whole aspect of a ''forced'' marriage in modern days is pretty interesting. Whatever, I don't agree with Cassia endling up with Ky, I guess he is a thoughtful guy and mysterious and the rest but Xander is every bit as thoughtful and he is good looking and totally in love with her at the same time. All I have to say is that, I would have chosen  Xander.
I also ordered and ready Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Actually, I read it in one night. Which already explaines how good it is. It's about a world in which everyone is ''ugly'' untli their 16th brithday, on which they have an extreme beautifying operation, to make them all symetrical and beautiful. This is to stop discrimination and hate between the people who live somewhere in the future, where the current civilisation had basicly been whiped out. All Tally wants is to ''turn pretty'', because as the youngest of her friends she feels lonely in the specified area of her city in which the uglies live. Then she gets to know a girl called Shay who is completely different, she is tought, happy with whom she is and how she looked like, and she doesn't want to ''turn''. When Shay runs away to a vilage called the Smoke, estabished  by former doctors and scientists who found out that in the operation not only the appearance of people get's changed but also part of their brain gets washed. On her birthday, Tally is not allowed to be ''turned'' as the officials from 'Special Circumstances' noticed Shay's disappearance and now foce Tally to bring back her  friend of for ever stay ugly. Of course, Tally chooses to betray her friend, but when she arrives at the Smoke after a hard journey, she falls in love with the honesty and the people of the Smoke. Especially David, who is the son of Maddy and Az, the founders of the Smoke, who turns out to be beautiful in his own way. In the end she betrays them, even if she doesn't want to and she decides to fight witht the Smokies against the oppression of free will by the Special Circumstances department.
This book I really liked, because it had everything in it that I really like: a romance, a bit of action, and some thought provoking topic (beauty orperation/brain liasions in this case). I just think it is a brilliant book, which is why I immediately bought all other books in or connected to the series.... I won't get them now that I'm in Germany as they will be delivered to my appartement in Portugal but, that is actually not a bad thing as in this way, I won't get tooo much ditracted by shiny new books when I'm supposed to be studying for my mock GCSE exams... WAAHHH!!!
Wellll first of all I will try to enjoy Xmas!!
Happy Holidayysss, XX

We're all wild about Harry!


Omg, I love him so absolutely-fricking-much! I just HAD to share this really quickly because he's sooo talented. And normally I am NOT the biggest fan of the Charleston because of the cheesy expressions ect. but this is rlly fun to watch and well done. I think Craig is a f**ktard for giving him a 9. I deserved that one more point! I love and hate Craig equally much because his criticism is always funny but true, but it's annoying that he always has to whine about something... But I mostly only feel this way when stuff is about Harry :D And last year it was Gavin Henson... 
Sooo, my modays posting schedule was rudely interrupted by this event, but whatever :) I'll just do it todayyy, YAY! First of all I'm happy right now because of all of Harry's amazing scores and that he is in the effing FINAL! Yesssss! And the also, I have got more pageviews this month than EVER before and it's only the 11th, which makes me feel proud, thanx you guys!
I had quite an eventful week, starting with not having to go to school on Thursday, so I went out with some friends and had a sleepover on Wednesday, which was really fun! And quite interesting actually, I learnt that it is possible to sleep with your face in a cussion and NOT suffocate, this is the preffered way of sleeping of one of my retarded friends (just kidding, luv u loaaads Lozza!), I call it planking with a death wish. Oh yeah, I forgot to say, that this method of sleeping requires you to have 95% of the duvet, most of which just randomy hangs of your side of the bed. Leaving ME, without ANY duvet. Thanks you very much *fake smile*...
I missed out on Thursd's and Sat's dance lessons.. :S because of time management problems (I'm very, VERY bad at getting things done in time.) annnd the fact that I went ice skating yesterdayyyy, Yeahhh! I used to skate a LOT in the winters, in Germany we had a huuuge pond right in the middle of the village where I would spend the majority of my afer school days! Sooo, it was good going again in the first time in maybe 2 years.... I didn't even fall. I even jumped over this kids annoying pusharound seal which would have probably been my cause of death otherwise.... I'm quite proud of that, as you can see :P As a treat, I allowed myself to have a thingy/stick (how the hell do you call that??) of candyfloss and a carousel ride... I'm SO immature... 
Further more, the Billabong Pipe Masters competition went of in Hawaii, and it was pretty cool I guess.. This competition was so much different from the ones I had watched previously, huge, perfect tubes and barrels and only the wish to come out the other end.... Also I saw alot of surfers which don't regularly take part in normal contests, such as Evan Valiere, with whom I am now also 'in love' with... Evan though it was particularily cruel that my darling Owen Wright went out because of him.... They had a good heat and Evan won, but not very highly... They were quite evenly matched even though Evan's been surfing there for 22 years of his life and Owen only started Pipe when he was 16 I think. John John Florence got two ''perfect 10's'' which is pretty impressive, he won against Kelly Slater (11 time world Champ) and he's only 18. But with him Pipe is also his backdoor wave so no surprise there... Oh, and I quickly have to mention, another favourite Gabriel Medinaaaa, 17 year old wunderkind from brazil!!! It was his first time EVER surfing Pipeline and he immediately won his first heat, he is amazing! I am competely in love with him as well... (I have a long list of guys I love) And I need to show you this pic of him which I found the other day, CRAZY IM TELLING YOU!
I diddd surf today but the waves were no where as perfect for me as last weekend, stilll, a good day for me. 
I got a book, which I had ordered on amazon, and where I hadn't actually thought it would still come before xmas, so YAY again...  It's called Matched (by Ally Condie) and it's about a girl living somewhere in the future, where in the name of planet preserverance, the govenment makes most decisions in the people's lives. It is a little bit similar to the HG's district 13, just that the people even get 'matched' their husband/wife gets chosen for them, as well as their breakfast, lunch and dinner. And the main, character, Cassia, get's matched to her best friend (Xander) whch is obviously great, but then there is some confusion and she thinks she is matched to a different person (Ky), soo this stirrs up problems as she decides to find out if this wasn't her actual Match. I think the idea of the story is quite cool and im only halfay through the book, but I think that she will end up breaking Xander's heart, and choosing to be with Ky, which I am not OK with. I guess Ky is quite nice and she finds out a secret about him and blahhh, and I guess I am also against having every decision be made for you by the 'Officials', but, in the beginning when she was matched with Xander she was really happy, why the hell does she have to 'explore' and break her own, annnd Xander's heart? I think she is being utterly stupid and annoying! There is a sequel and I am only halfway through the book but I believe that this is the thing that is going to happen and I am really annoyed. I am 100% team Xander. If she doesn't want him, I do. 
That's all for tonight and my untypical Sunday's post :)
