HERE WE GO AGAIN...
I think this is the fourth time I've joined since 2010. And there have been numerous reasons why I've had to quit and start again.
I'd say I've lost about a stone and a half in total since the first time I've joined. I've managed to keep the stone off, but that half stone has crept on since Christmas.
I'm joining this time because of Diane's wedding - I'm one of the bridesmaids and I'm getting the dress fitted at the end of the summer, so at £4.95 a week, there's going to be no messing about.
A bit excited this time, I must admit. I feel confident. I know it works for me, all I need to do is stick to the plan.
I have 18 weeks until I return to uni, that's 18 weeks to lose...hopefully a stone?
Wish me luck.
(LOL even I know this isn't going to happen.)

WISHES TWO
And so the wishing shall continue!!
I wish for....a beautiful house.
I would love a big mansion with many pretty ornaments and paintings. Preferably a castle that isn’t too old. (because it would be more than likely unhygienic...and haunted)
I wish that...that no-one uninvited will see my blog.
This sounds awful, but I really really hope that none of my family members see le Claudblog. Not that there’s anything bad on it, it’s just nice to have somewhere private where I can chatter away and not worry what they would think.
Obviously I do know my friends and a few others do visit, but that’s different. They understand the weirdness and join in on the Blogging fun.
If I go traveling, die or move away for some unknown reason they could read it then. But I would feel conscious if they saw it now. They would ask loads of questions which would be extremely irritating. They do that on Facebook too: “Oh, I see you are commenting on her post there, what do you mean by that? Oh, who is Gareth Graham? (using you as an example Gareth, lol) Why is he asking you about art on your wall? Oh Claudia! I saw you online at 1am last night! Could you not sleep...” And so on.
I wish....to attend a Korean Pop concert.
After watching fancams from SM Town in Paris and gaping at SHINee saunter through Heathrow airport in London made me realise how I’m actually craving to see these guys live. Any of them, even if it’s a group or soloist I’m not as familiar with, I would love the opportunity. I wish for more K-Pop concerts to happen in the United Kingdom.
(Reading over this made me laugh..."craving?" it's like I want SHINee like I want a chocolate biscuit: MMM.)
I wish for...attending the final Harry Potter film showing at midnight.
I’ve been a hardcore HP fan for 9 years of my life. That’s exactly half of my existence so far. Please, may I see a Harry Potter premiere. This is my last chance.
I wish...to back to school for one more day.
I can’t believe this is one of my wishes. Although Upper 6th in K.H.S was one of the best years of my school life, any time I drive by the school or even see something that reminds me makes my heart feel sad. I didn’t realise how much I missed school. I feel a pang of regret that I maybe didn’t make the effort with the people of my year.
I yearn for just one more day of talking to them all, and catching up with the craic. Getting the cramped bus in. Internally singing along to my iPod when walking up the Prefect’s stairs every morning. Checking if Alison was in. Catching up on the craic with Noelle in registration. Celebrating if a class was cancelled. Spending an hour or two in the library in my seat. Bullying people to get yearbook information in. Prayer meeting with the gang on Monday’s. Complaining about ongoing English homework. Crying when we had to go to triple English on Wednesday’s. Shouting at Mary-Jane to do some work. Duty with Emma: our weekly gossip sessions. The most BORING lunchtimes ever. Pee-time with Amy and our hand-dryer dance. The dreadful bus rides home with those little monsters.
Oh please, just one more day. Give me just one more day of school life because I didn’t appreciate it when I could have.
I wish...I could dance.
Seriously, I don’t think I have any rhythm or beat in my body. Ah, how I wish I was agile and graceful without looking like an elephant wearing roller skates!
I wish...to become famous.
Yes, I would like to be famous. I don’t know what this could possibly be for, but I just think it would be nice for people to recognize me for some reason. I wouldn’t like to be exceptionally famous, where strangers start screaming and running like I’m the almighty Bieber or something, just a small collection of people recognizing me “Hey, aren’t you Claudia?”
However I don’t think my full name sounds very star like, I may need a stage name. Claudine Bean.
I wish...I could just eat and not put on any weight.
Life can be so unfair! I see girls eating these massive chocolate bars and they are like, size 6. If I ate like that I would have a full stone on in a week!
I wish for...an unlimited amount of pairs of glasses.
When I am older I would like to be one of those super classy women who have a pair of glasses for every outfit they wear. May I add here that I would also like an unlimited amount of contact lenses too, because sometimes there are clothes that simply don’t suit spectacles.
I wish...to grow old beautifully and glamorously.
Face it. All us ladies want to look like Jane Fonda when we eventually reach 73.
Okay I'm done now.
- Claudia

DON'T STOP THE RAIN!
Updates with pictures:

Most of my evenings have been spent on a website called Tokyo Fashion. This site updates regularly with photographs of the most original and bizarre fashion clothing shown in different areas of Japan. I’m fascinated with the street photos of Harajuku especially. I would spend hours analysing these outfits. It’s incredible that some people are able to devote themselves to customising themselves in such a way. Few are gorgeous, some are pretty rotten. It is inspiring though.
Papa Rain
Oh RAIN. The other night I downloaded (legally of course) all of his CDs: Rain’s World, Rainism, Back to the Basic...etc. Oh I do adore!! What a perfect man! His music is so gorgeous, especially Move On, Love Song and With U. I am truly in love!
Just remembered, so was Megan Fox. LOL. We have so much in common.
Why does he bother wearing clothes...I mean shirts.
I still cannot get my head around all the free time I now have since my exams finished last Monday. It hasn’t properly kicked in that I actually will have nothing to do for four months and that I have finished high school education forever. It’s strange, I have so much on my To-Do list but it hasn’t been started yet. I thought I’d dive straight into it, I’m afraid I will become lazy and not do anything at all. On another note, I booked my accommodation for next year, and according to my loan, I will only be living on £2.50 a week. Dreadful!! I suppose I should be getting a job?
Weight
I’ve set myself an ultimate goal of losing 1 stone, 7lbs. I also worked out to obtain this goal by September I need to lose 1.5lbs in Slimming World per week. That’s not going to happen, but I shall try and shall report on my progress. (Because, you know, it’s such an interesting thing to blog about.)
Tumblr
Shhh, I know I’m not allowed to mention Tumblr, but I’m going to anyway. I do have a Tumblr page, linked here. It’s been incredibly addictive ever since I’ve finished studying. Please follow me if you use it too, and I will certainly follow you all back.
Park Bom: (yes I love celebrities)
Oh beautiful lady! Yes, I do believe my female K-Pop bias at the moment is Park Bom from 2NE1. Move over CL, you will have to share your place with this gorgeous girl! Seriously, don’t understand why I didn’t like Bom before: honestly I thought she was very boring compared to the other three. HOWEVER ever since I’ve seen her new music video ‘Don’t Cry’ I’ve fallen for her.
Y’know a while ago I posted about that romantic ‘sweet sharing’ scene in IRIS which I got mixed responses from? I had a similar emotional breakdown when I watched this M.V!! I don’t know what did it, perhaps the cool guy in it, I don’t know... (unable to explain what on earth I am talking about) Anyway, I think the point is, he dies..even though they were engaged..and their hug *cries* I love them. Shut up Claudia, go to bed.
What am I saying? I never need to sleep again.
Or remove nail polish for school on Monday mornings. Woohoo!

WANTED
I think being away from friends and staying at home for a few days really does something to my brain. I need to get out places so I don’t go mad: waking early, dancing insanely on the trampoline, single-handedly making the school yearbook and most importantly: living online until 3am (This is being done as I type this).
Sure, I love being off for Easter, a few days away from it all is great. ‘Cept I’m stuck studying and being forbidden to go out or do anything fun or else I will fail everything. School is good to just get away from stupid home tasks like ironing and emptying the dishwasher.
I think I may die next year when I have no school to go to. Who will I talk to when everyone is galavanting away to uni, making new friends and living in BELFAST while I crack up in Newry tech doing art!?
As Harry would say, “Hogwarts is my home!” Well except K.H.S is definitely not my home, it doesn't have wi-fi. But I’m pretty sure I’m going to miss it a lot.
Screw you all accepting that you are going to leave it and not come back, all those stupid speeches about “Yes! I am prepared to move on with my head held high!! I will not look back to the days as a secondary school student!” YOU all have futures ahead of you in pretty places like Queens doing exactly what you planned out these past months.
Frig knows what I’m doing. University of Ulster crushed my dreams!
Screw Uni. Screw y’all. I’m going to be better than everyone! I shall be successful, rich and as Block B would say “Wanna be famous, you wanna be GORGEOUS!” I shall travel the world and become an icon. I will star in films with Johnny Depp and adopt beautiful babies like Angelina Jolie. I will become an international blogging superstar, with over 3 million views per minute. I will learn to dance. And most importantly, I will not get my driving test, but use the money I need for lessons, pre-test and test to spend on a chauffeur who can take me to where-ever I need to go. Good plan!
However, I’m away off on a tangent today. This is not the focus topic in today’s post. (See, I told you I have gone crazy.) All I wanted to blog about was things that were floating around in mind recently! While I was mindlessly studying or doing chores or talking/singing to myself.
The Wanted
What’s this? Claudia is listening to a group that sing in English? What has happened? To be honest, I don’t know. It might just be a phase. Or maybe it’s the extremely delicious member, Siva Kaneswaran...who knows. No actually, I really like their music at the moment.
Yoochun
This silly boy has taken over my desktop/head/life. I have a feeling I must have dreamt about him and subconsciously have fallen for him. Get out of here!
France
I blogged about this a while ago, but SM Town (SM Entertainment, Korea’s biggest record company) is touring in France. I have convinced myself that I am going, despite not being allowed and Emma being unable to because of her exams. Fingers crossed it will be London next year.
Teen Top/Dalmatian
My two new favourite K-Pop groups. Inati from Dalmatian is gorg but turns out he is 30. He doesn’t look 30 AT ALL. And I love wee Niel from Teen Top, he would melt your heart! (Yes, he’s just a child.)
Weight
I am determined to lose weight. Slimming World is going well and earlier I was comparing K-Pop guys’ weights to mine. Seriously, they are SO thin! Look at my statistics! I think my results are quite inaccurate, because there are some that should be much heavier/lighter than others. (Click on the link of their name to see what they look like and guess their weight in stone and lbs, then highlight the area and see what it actually is.) It’s crazy! They must be famished!
9 stone 4lbs.
10 stone 2lbs. Pure man lah.
9 stone 9lbs.
9 stone 6lbs.
14 stone
9 stone 9lbs. He has slightly wider shoulders..but he couldn't be the same as Jaejoong!!
10 stone 3lbs.
11 stone
9 stone
8 stone 8lbs. (Lighter than G-Dragon, really?? With muscle.. I don't understand.)
9 stone 9lbs.
7 stone. OMG, feed him now. He is still a baby, who needs to grow. :O
It took me longer finding them pictures for the hyperlinks than making the rest of this post. It's very late.
Goodnight.

SUNSCREEN
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.
