It snowed on the first day of spring here in New York. In the middle of April. It sucked.
But now the snow is gone and the sun is out. Brighter. Hotter. Longer.
Summer, you are finally here. You are the reason I am happy. That one season that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, hot and sweaty outside. It's a nostalgic feeling. It's the emotion I was never able to let go of, even after 5 years of living in New York. You're the season for ice cream. The season for riding bikes all day. Season for sleeping in during the weekdays, and not having to come up with an excuse. It's the season when all the teeny little critters crawl into my room to share it with me. It's the season that reminds me so much of home.
I don’t even know what the song is about, but it's so beautiful. I want to close my eyes and sing along to the words, even though I have no idea what they mean. Okay, this is kind of pathetic to admit, but the first time I heard Praan, I teared a bit. Is that weird? Probably. But I couldn’t help it. It's not just the song though. Watching this guy dance in so many different parts of the world makes me feel so... I don't know. Uplifted? Happy?
I wish I would be able to do that someday. Maybe not dance in 42+ countries, but just simply experience the different cultures as he did.
And now, I randomly want to post a picture of my current desktop wallpaper.
Yes, I was bored.
P.S. Eating only raw food is really, really hard. My mom insists that I eat rice. That I need to eat rice. Or else.
My sister and I are taking care of a friend's dog for a week, because he's having fun in Las Vegas, while we are home. The dog is really adorable though. We never had a dog before, so this is new to us.
On a kind of related subject, I tried dog vitamins yesterday, because I was half curious, and half forced, and another half dared. I know, the math makes no sense. It didn't taste that bad. It looked like chocolate squeezed out of a tube, and tasted like really thick, carby, not as sweet, human food.
In a complete, random, change of topics, I’m going to challenge myself to a raw food lifestyle! For 7 days. Just to see if I can. Kind of like how I tried the dog food to see if I can. And like how I want to go skinny dipping, just to see if I can. And like how I want to steal from a store, just to see if I can.
*cough*
Scratch that last one.
So far today, I have had oranges, an apple, a fruit cup from Panera Bread, and a handful of peanuts. I realized, I don't like peanuts.
As you (yes, you my diary) can see, food wise, it hasn't been that exciting. Maybe I'll try making something exotic with raw food recipes or something.
I woke up late and missed my track practice. But the day was nice and I didn't want to let it go by, so I decided to fix the bike my friend gave me. It turned out, I needed an entire new tire. But I couldn't just buy one, because I don't drive.
So my boring day began.
Do you see the tiny swirly circles? They took up most of my time...
Now, 10 songs stuck in my head:
1. Everything is Beautiful by Starfield 2. Don't Trust Me by 3oh3 3. Say It's Possible by Terra Naomi 4. Curse of the Curves by Cute is What we Aim For 5. Wake Up by Arcade Fire 6. More to Life by Stacie Orrico 7. Paper Planes by M.I.A. 8. Shut Up and Let Me Go by The Ting Tings 9. Kiss Me by New Found Glory 10. Unwell by Matchbox Twenty
I want to go to a karaoke and sing! That'll be my goal for this spring break.
