The New #YOLO Episodes

Series 2 of #YOLO is going to be a bit different than Series 1, I'm going to make them shorter and more straight to the point because, although I love the old episodes, the were too love and I repeated points frequently. I am going to write the episodes in advance to make sure that they are high quality. Episode 1 will be posted on the first of September. I hope you're excited for the new episodes, I know I am!

Guess Who's Back!

Me. Yep, I'm back, I haven't posted in a week because when I start a post recently, I can't seem to get into it, I don't know why but I think (hope) I'm back.

But this post isn't about me, it's about my good friend Nibbles! She has started blogging again! HERE is her blog if you would like to support her. She has re-designed her blog and I think it looks really cool but Emily, if you're reading, it's sorta hard to read the comments. When you go through a blog re-design, you have to spend a while fixing little things up. I'm really excited about Emily's return, I hope you are too!

Emily asked for people's help to make her blog bigger and better so I might do a post on that, giving everybody little tips. I'm also going to do a post called Vanity or Self Love? that is a big thing so it might take a while to write so stay in your seats!

I'm going to watch Zoella's new vlogs now, byeeeeeeeeee!

Our Timeless Thoughts and Other Unrelated Stuff

Hey guys! I know that I have only missed a few days day of blogging but it feel like weeks! Today I want to talk to you about another blog. I made it with Melissa from The Ice Cream Hut and it's called Our Timeless Thoughts. I also wanted to chat to you about when Melissa came to my house and also just a general catch up, let's go!

On Our Timeless Thoughts we have one post by Melissa, it's a test post so it's pretty boring (I know Melissa won't mind me saying that) but today I am aiming to write a good introduction. I have also just realized that I really need to post on Smilin'Bloggers but Grace and I have abandoned our blog recently! The focus of Melissa and I's (I know, good England) blog is to have little chats about our obsevations of people and life, I'm looking forward to getting really into that blog.  Did I mention that this is my 100th post on this blog?! Aaaaaaaarrrhhhhhhhh!!!

Over the last few day I have been having a SuperwomanVlogs marathon, I started at Day 1 and I am now on Day 13. I am telling you this because I have realized how easy these blog posts are compared to big YouTube videos. In a few of her videos she was scripting and filming her 300th video, it took her sleepless days and nights to create and seeing that happen has really put things into perspective. These posts are easy(ish most of the time) to make because you don't have to script them out or look good to make them, I am lying in bed in my cat onesie writing this!

Now tell you about my amazing experience with Melissa at my house. We were walking home (we only walk five - ten minutes together) then I just asked if Melissa wanted to come to my house for the first time so we organised it and she came! When we got there I showed her around and everything was normal then we decided to make the microwave brownie that I did a post on that you should definitely check out ;D. The brownie making started fatastically as we had no butter and had to Google "things that can replace butter in baking". The lists were full of things like prune puree, the only thing we might of had was canola oil. After about twenty minutes of searching we (Melissa) found the canola oil. We started baking, la de da de da, then out of nowhere the cocoa powder flew in the air, back-flipped and landed on the ground (I bumped it). We had to clean that up. Then we went back to baking, la de da de da, the canola oil attempts to do a back-flip on the bench but fails and leaves canola oil driping down the cupboards onto the floor . . . We cleaned that up but the floor was still slippery as we discovered when I asked Melissa to taste something. She came fast-walking along the floor then fell over. The funny thing about her falling over was that her facial expression stayed the same when she fell over, when she was down she rolled over laughing. She was literally ROFL-ing! So as I said earlier, the floor was still very slippery from the canola oil so I had the stupid idea to pour a whole glass of water on the floor, just in case Melissa and I had not done enough cleaning that day. Throughout the cleaning process we went through a cloth, all the paper towels, all the tissues and a roll of toilet paper. I bet Melissa really want's to come back to my house!

In other news, I am writing a novel! I don't have a publishing company yet but I will soon! I don't have a name for it yet but I'm thinking about calling it  Fighting Our Own Wars because it is set in a place where war is going on and you can guess the rest. I am up to Chapter One but I am really enjoying writing it. I will keep you posted (see what I did there) on that.

We have now reached the end of this longish post. Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon, byeeeeeeeee!

Racism

Hey guys I don't know when this post is going to be publiushed but I really want to talk about racism. There are so many misunderstandings of racism so I want to talk about them.
First of all, here is the dictionary definition of racism:

1Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:
a programme to combat racism
OR
1.1The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races:
theories of racism

I don't know if it is my classmates' age that is the problem or if it is the whole world now but some people say that it is racist to say that a pencil is black (?!). Black is a colour. If I asked to borrow a purple colouring pencil, would you care? Probably not. It is frustrating that so many people do not really know what racism is.

If you are one of the people that think the word black is racist then please watch THIS video, it might help you understand. The teacher in that video was racist, he harmed somebody because they were from a different race.

I feel so much better now that I have ranted and hopefully helped people! Thank you for reading and I'll see you tommorow, byeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Absence of Posts

apologize for the absence of posts this weekend. I have decided that I will not definitely post on weekends because I go to my friends' house and they don't always have WiFi. Today's post is just going to be an update of my life, let's go!

I have been sick and I didn't go to school on Friday. I read and slept all day. It was brilliant. In the weekend I went to my best friend's house for a night then I was supposed to go to my Dad's house, we went there but he wasn't there so I ended up going to my Mum's house. It turned out that my Dad was in hospital but he's fine now if you were wondering. I kind of like Mondays because they are my musical day. I have music extension for an hour at 2 then I have my guitar lessons so that's what I did today!

I have to go now so byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

How My Immune System Works

Hey guys! I think that I'm getting sick because a have a sore, dry throat and a bit of cough but I'll go to bed early tonight. I get sick really easily, which gave me an idea for a post - how my immune system works, it will be like a trip into my immune system's 'mind', let's go!

The bad germ comes in and my immune system are okay with it because you have to give everybody a chance and at this stage they don't know that the germ is bad. Everybody has a party and everybody is having fun, then I go over to see my best friend, Sophie and the bad germ insults her. WAR WAS JUST DECLARED!!! The good germs in my immune system line up like an army and attack the bad germs with all they've got! While all this is happening, I feel very sick and I'm probably sleeping.

I think that this would be a good way to teach little kids about immune systems and I would really enjoy being the one who taught them this! I hope you enjoyed this post, byeeeeeeee!

Change Of Plans

Hey guys, I have decided to stop doing the 30 Day Blogging Challenge and I'm going to tell you all about that, let's go!

I don't think that this challenge is helping me put good content out there and the posts are honestly very boring to write. I will still being doing DailyAugust, as in posting everyday in August but I won't post about things that I said I would. I might post again today because this isn't much of a post!

I'll might see you later on today on this blog but I'll definitely see you on Smilin'Bloggers, byeeeeeeeee!

Daily Posting

Hey guys, today I just want to have a chat about DailyAugust and the possibility of daily posting, let's go!

I enjoy doing DailyAugust but I wouldn't do it again because the ideas are already planned out for me and that restricts me. It's great for some people but I'm the kind of blogger that really just loves to chat! If I were to post everyday then I wouldn't have the ideas planned out for me, I would just post about whatever I want to post about! It may also be good if I could do my best to post everyday but it wouldn't be an official thing. I think that that arrangement could work quite well because sometimes I just don't have the time. I also post every second day on Smilin'Bloggers so I have to juggle that blog and this one. Maybe I could try posting on the blog every two days, the day that I am not posting on my other blog (if that makes sense).

I'm going to try to post extra stuff this month, if you have any requests for post, please leave them in the comments. I'm going to go now, have a great day and I will see you tomorrow, byeeeeeee!

Day 10: The Best Trip Of My Life | DailyAugust

Hey guys! We made it a third of the way through this challenge! Today's subject is my best trip so far, let's get into it!

When I was six I traveled across the world with my Dad to England to see my grandma (Marmar) and half my family that I had never met before. It was really fun and exciting! We were going to go to Germany but sadly the weather didn't let us. I met one of my (first) cousins, she was around 20 at the time and we are very similar. Unfortunaly I couldn't meet my other (male) cousin because he was at university but we talked on the phone. I really enjoyed the plane trip too, I was too small to worry about plummeting into the ocean or being shot down so I really enjoyed it. I met a German friend that was one year younger than me and me crawled beneath the seats and locked ourselves in the toilet and had fun. I remember there being a really big line for the toilets and us not wanting to go out because people might see us. When we finally left a lady said, "Having a party in there, were you?" Or something like that. When me and my Dad went to leave England he was late and missed the plane so we ended up staying five weeks instead of four. I really loved my trip to England and I'm hoping to travel more in my life!

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I'm really glad that we have made it to Day 10! Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow, byeeeeeee!

Badges
In my school there are badges for achievements and I really want to get a 3Rs badge.

Badges 2.0
I also want to get a badge for tech this year.

Day 7: My Five Favourite Songs RIGHT NOW | DailyAugust

Hey guys, welcome back to DailyAugust! This my third post today, I had a post thanking you for 2000 pageviews!!! A post on Smilin'Bloggers and now this one! Today's subject is My Favourite Songs RIGHT NOW, but you know me, that post would not be long enough so I'm going to say why too. I have recently  Let's go!

Grace has forced me to like this song by playing it 5 or 6 times when I was at her house. I really love it because it is about not taking anything for granted and making the most everything you have and it's a really catchy tune!

This song is so meaning full and it really makes me think. It's all about 'locking in love' and knowing that the person is always going to be there.

Alayna is the daughter of my amazing guitar and music teacher Mr Powley. She came to my school and performed this song. This is so talented at singing and playing the piano, I suggest you check out some of her other covers. Catchy tune by Sam Smith too!

Aaahhhhh! This song gets me every time and I know that I'm not the only one! So beautiful!

Lorde is my favourite artist and I love singing her songs, I have eve nbeen told that I sound like her! I am currently recording this song for school and I am enjoying it! She is currently working on a new album, I can't wait for that to come out!

I hope that you have some new favourite songs from this post! Melissa and I want to start a blog together, we would call it Ice Cream Central (maybe). If you like this idea or you have any other suggestions for blog names, please tell me in the comments below, thanks! Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow, byeeeeee!

Day 6: What I Am Afraid Of | DailyAugust

Hey guys! I'm in a great mood because I had a great day! Today's subject is What I Am Afraid Of, I'm not going to talk about death because that's for another post but I will talk about fire which can cause death but who cares? Let's get into it!
 
As I said earlier, I am afraid of fire. I am always paranoid about what could cause a fire like I'm have to have the stove turned off at the wall and I check heaps of times before I go to sleep because I am really scared of losing someone or something I love. That's another thing that I am afraid of, losing someone or something valuable, I am scared of robbers too!
 
I want to tell you about one of the scariest things that has happened to me. My best friend Sophie's house is a two minute walk away from the park. At the park the is a big fence at the back and some other fences at 90 degrees to the big fence, I'm going to call those fences the sub-fences. We were at the park and it was just starting to get dark, that was when Sophie saw a man and I heard something, I said 'hi' and turned around . . . I saw a man wearing all black apart from a white scary $2 Shop mask and white gloves, he had an axe . . . He turned to look at us the carried on cutting into the sub-fence (someone else's property)! Me and Sophie ran faster than we ever had before and got into the house and locked the door! It was so scary!!!
 
I hope you enjoyed this post (or got scared out of your pants)! I have to go have a shower but I will see you tomorrow! And it's my day to post on Smilin'Bloggers so you will get two posts if you read that blog! Have a great day and as I said, I will see you tomorrow, byeeeeee!

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Hey guys here is that post that I was talking about earlier, I have a really exciting annoucement . . .

Day 5: My Proudest Moments | DailyAugust

Hey guys, welcome to Day 5 of DailyAugust! Today's post is going to be about my proudest moments. I get way more excited when a friend of mine achieves something compared to when I achieve something so I'm mainly going to write about times where I have felt proud of my friends. Let's go!

Tuesday 4 August 2015

Day 4: My Dream Job | DailyAugust

Hey guys, welcome to Day 4 of DailyAugust! Today I'm going to talk about my dream job. I left my chromebook at school so I am writing this on my Mum's computer, I'm not really used to it so if you notice any mistakes, could you please tell m in the comments as I will have my chromebook back tomorrow to fix them. In the future I would obviously love to continue this blog for a living but I'm going to post about what I would like to do if I can't do that, so enjoy!

I would really love to be a psychologist, this started with my Mum's workmate Lynsey (who also happens to be my favourite adult apart from family) told me all about her online university study for psychology. Even though there is 25 years between us (WOW, I just realized that!), it really doesn't matter and we are close friends, she tells me all about what she is doing at school and listening to all the cool stuff she does has inspired me to be a psychologist. I have since figured out more about mental illnesses. A doctor would never turn a cancer patient away so that they died but this is what is happening to anorexic patients! And it has taken the anorexic person a lot to realize that they have a problem and then find the courage to tell someone who can help about it, after all that, they are turned away! And so many qualified people have never taken the time to find out about OCD, instead they just believe assumptions made by most of the world! I hope that now you can see why I want to be a psychologist, the more I found out, the more my passion for psychology grew. I want you to take the time to find out a few mental illnesses and educate other people with what you found out, I'm not asking you to become a psychologist, I just want you to find out about one mental illness.

That was fun to write! I really want to be a psychologist and when I am I will do my best to keep this blog alive. While we are one the subject of careers, if my job was to blog, I would produce at least one post a day, I would have ALL day to write and edit the post! I hope that you enjoy reading the #YOLO post this morning! I said in the post that the next episode will come out on the first of September, I'm looking forward to Series 2!!! I hope you enjoyed that post and I'll see you tomorrow! Byeeeeeee!

#YOLO | Series One Episode 5

Hey guys, as I said on Saturday, this episode is going to be the last one for a while because I've got to have some suspense before the second series! This week's #YOLO post is going to be about regrets, I think that we all have them but we don't want to. I'm not going to say my biggest regret because I will be doing a whole post on that this month. I just want to talk about it. Enjoy!

I think that regrets are things that we don't really need but they can inspire you to live a better life. When something bad happens to you that you regret, you can take it as a way to live your life and not do what you  are going to regret, I see it as a consequence of the bad thing that you had the choice to do or not to do and you don't because of the guilt and regret that will come after. Regret gets to be a problem when you are never happy with yourself and you start dreaming about what could have been if you did something differently.

I want you to watch this video to understand something that helps me to not worry about regrets.
If that video doesn't work or you would prefer to watch it on YouTube, click HERE. I hope that that video has helped you to understand my logic if I miss an opportunity.

I hope you enjoyed that episode of #YOLO! How many of the challenges did you complete? Has this series helped you in any way? Tell me in the comments. The next one will come out on Tuesday the 1st of September. I'll see you later today with Day 4 of DailyAugust, byeeeeeeeee!

Day 3: My Five Favourite Einstein Quotes | DailyAugust

Hey guys, it's Day 3 of DailyAugust and I'm loving it! Today's subject is my favourite Einstein quotes, but you know me, I can not pick just one so I am turning it into five. I know that having just Einstein quotes may seem a but weird but if I made it all quotes then I would have hundreds on  this post! If you are wondering why the date banners are a day behind, it's because I live in New Zealand and we're a day ahead. Now I have told you that, we can get onto the post!


I love this quote so much. It is basically saying that everybody is a genius in their own area or way. Is it just me that imagines one of the fish from The Lorax climbing a tree? Maybe it's just me . . .


I love this one! I always have so many ideas and that is one of the reasons I started this blog: to let them out! I also have an idea that I am working on and I'm writing a book (I don't think that Penguin will publish it but I can be very convincing ;D).


This one means that you should treat and speak to everybody the same, I love this and if we al had this rule, the world would be a better place (unless somebody said "okay, I'll shoot everybody then!").


I definitely have an imagination!


Mistakes are natural and there is no point getting upset about it, the only way that you could never make a mistake, would be to do nothing.

I hope you enjoyed this post, I really love Einstein's quotes and I hope you do too! Before I finish I have to show you this:

Have a magical day and I'll see you tommorow! Byeeeeeeee!

Day 2: Reacting To My First Post | DailyAugust

Hey guys, welcome to Day 2 of DailyAugust! Today I am going to be reacting to my first post. So here is that post:
Welcome to Smiley Central and 25 Facts About Me
Hi everybody, I'm Catherine, AKA, The Guinea Pig Girl, The One with No Bones, Catherine The Happy Person or "that weird girl" (I don't get offended by these comments, I agree!). I will be posting on this blog about anything that pops into my mind that I think might make you smile. I love writing and this is just another thing to make me happy, my goal for you is to find one little thing that makes you happy, because little things build up to a mountain of happiness and smiles. This is my first post (I'm sure I'll cringe at it years from now) and I have written 25 things about me, here we go:

  1. I live in New Zealand
  2. My two favourite colours are pink and blue
  3. Orange and blue together makes me feel weird
  4. I love animals
  5. I am learning to play the guitar
  6. I love YouTube
  7. My favourite YouTuber is Zoella
  8. I love school
  9. I love guinea pigs
  10. I don’t have a favourite animal
  11. My favourite foods are strawberries and bacon
  12. I love to read
  13. I think everything is cute
  14. My favourite words are ‘marsupial’ and ‘discombobulated’
  15. I can’t handle crowds, this fear is called enochlophobia
  16. I’m a bit OCD (hence the rainbow coloured text)
  17. My favourite singer is Lorde (or Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor)
  18. I love to sing and write songs
  19. My favourite books are The Fault in Our Stars and Girl Online
  20. I love gymnastics
  21. I have three step-siblings and a step-father
  22. I’m a natural leader
  23. I prefer sucking on my lollies
  24. My best friends are called Kate-Ann, Sophie and Danielle
  25. I hate the number 87 and love the number 106

Let's start with the title, "Welcome to Smiley Central and 25 Facts About Me", I didn't even use a & sign! By the way, lovely rainbow font . . . that nobody can read . . .

I'm actually quite happy with that intro. It says who I am and I'm honest about myself from the very beginning, which is good, that writing is not as EXCITED as me now and I think that I could of used around five more exclamation marks but I think that blogging writing style comes with reading more blogs and just blogging for a while. Aprt from that, it's a pretty good intro, that's probably because I liked watching YouTubers so I kinda had an idea of what it was supposed to look and sound like. It's a nice intro but I dont think anybody can actually read it because of the font . . .

The facts are okay, I like how I added little notes in brackets, I love reading those notes on other people's blogs and the can be funny. Some of my facts are a bit boring but oh well, there are some good ones there too!

Now onto the ending! Oh . . . there isn't one . . .

With all that said, I would never delete this post, it's the storry of how Smiley Central came to be and I would never want to ruin that! I hope you enjoyed that post! Have a great day!

Day 1: The Story Behind My Blog Name | DailyAugust

Hey guys, as I said earlier today, I'm going to be doing the 30 Day Blogging Challenge, I'm calling it DailyAugust. Today's subject I how I came up with my blog name, Smiley Central. I'm also going to tell you what inspired me to start a blog, let's go!

I have always loved YouTube, I loved watching YouTubers and I wanted to make videos on the internet but I only knew about expensive cameras and lights and I didn't know that most people start YouTube with a webcam, I also felt too young to make videos, nobody would take me seriously at my age, they would just leave comments saying how cute I was which was not what I wanted at all. If you have been reading my blog for a while then you will know that I like posting about deep things, that was what I wanted to do with my videos bu I doubted that people would want to listen to a little kid psychologically analysing things. They would be so restricted by my ae and probably wouldn't actually listen to what I had to say.

Then I found out about Zoella's blog and I thought that blogging was a good idea, you could do it anywhere and you didn't even have to be dressed up. Another thing that I thought was pretty cool was that you didn't need to pay for video editors, you just needed a brain. Something that held me back a few years was not having my own computer, I didn't know that you could sign out of your blog so that nobody saw it so I just kept watching YouTube videos and occasionally reading Zoella and Sprinkle of Glitter's blog's.

I then went to intermediate and I was put in a BYOC (bring your own computer) class, meaning that I got my very own computer! This was very exciting and for about a month after I got it, I just used it for what I used my Mum's computer for and school. I got a home account and I did nothing interesting with it really. Until I remembered about Zoella's blog and wondered if I could start a blog, I found out about Blogger and on the 30th of April 2015 I did! I sat staring at the computer, Blogger asked me to write in a screen name, I thought that this meant the name of my blog (I honestly knew nothing about blogging) so I thought about it. I'm a happy person so I had the first part: Smiley. I have always liked to think that happy people have their own little space, that was when Smiley Central came to me. In one of my widgets I said something like: "The more people in Smiley Central, the better!" I didn't mean it like "FOLLOW ME!!!" I just meant that you can become a part of Happy Town  whenever you want, Smiley Central kind of means that happiness is a choice. Now here I am four months and two days later, writing this post in bed and emotionally preparing myself for 30 days of daily blogging!

Thanks for reading guys! I hope you enjoyed that post about how I started blogging and why I called this blog Smiley Central. Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow, byeeeeeeee!

August 30 Day Blogging Challenge

Hey guys, sorry that I haven't posted in a while!

If you have been around on my blog for a while you might remember that there are five episodes in each series, that means that next Tuesday's episode is going to be the last episode of this series. This is going to be the last one for a while because I've got to have some suspense! If I have no Wifi on some days, I will give you those posts the next time I have WiFi. I hope you like this idea and this has given you some excitement for August! Time to work on some of those posts and the #YOLO episode. Happy August!
