Summer ☀ |
I'll be showing you my summer bucketlist and post pictures about it. I'll need to accomplisg everything on it before summer, so let's start now! |
Hi Everyone. It’s Maryl here I know this post just boomed at you and you ask yourself, who is this? why am I following her? Who is shee?!?
Well, I’m the girl who made a bucketlist last summer and didn’t do it. Sucks for her.
I know I neglected my last summer bucketlist but summer just visited our country again so… I’m thinking of making a new one or just make blogs about what is happening in my summer. What do you think? Haha.
If I were to make a bucketlist, please message me some stuffs/activities I can put there because I really want to have a memorable summer. :)
Summerlove, Maryl <3
COVER TIME!! Despite me being a horrible singer, it still won’t stop me from doing this bucket list challenge. I remember when I got my new guitar, I said to myself that from then on I will make covers in YouTube but I didn’t really got the guts. So this challenge just lifted me up to make one and face my fears. Haha! Actually, the song “It Will Rain - Bruno Mars” is just so catchy that I have been practicing it for days. Not to mention Miley Cyrus’s song “Butterfly Fly Away”. I might do it also.. I don’t know. What do you think? Aha! I know I will get a lot of negative comments on it but I don’t really care.. I’m just having fun ;)
When I was making the video, the door to the balcony is open so some people can hear me talking and singing. After I sing, they tuned up a song that I don’t know. It’s really funny! Maybe they just don’t like to hear me singing “It Will Rain” again and again. Hahaha! And also.. I choked in the middle of the song so that was an OOPS moment right there. I even re-filmed the cover because the first time I used my photo booth and when I listened to it, it sounded like crap! But then luckily, my camera has battery (ooh, that rhymed (;) so I just used it and I’m impressed of how HD-ish it is. I never knew it was. You see, summer can make you discover a lot of things you don’t really know and gives you so much opportunities. I just love summer!
Here’s a picture of me and my guitar:

Summer Love,
Maryl (:
Here’s the video to this activity.
First and foremost, I’m sorry this goes up late. I had a bit of a lazy start to it. I usually do the activities at 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon so it’s not that hot but because I cleaned my sister’s entire room and gave our two dogs a bath, and plus the good show on National Geographic, I doubt I can still open my laptop, and also, a part of it is because I’m too lazy to look for a scissor. Anyways, I’m pretty happy for getting this challenge for we already have duct tapes at home. My sister actually makes magic wallets so that’s why. At first, I didn’t really knew what to do so I researched for some ‘duct tapes craft’ and I know you can make thousands of stuff with duct tapes but they didn’t really mentioned hair bows so in the middle of my researching, I quickly thought of mini hair bows so that’s how I came up with it. Before I was supposed to make them, my sister told me to get ready for we are going to the mall, so another unfortunate time to make my bows. When we got home, I took a shower then proceeded into making it.
Here are my duct tapes, by the way:

If you want to see the video of me making it, just click here.
While I was making it, I was watching the epic show “Titanic: A Century Later” on Nation Geographic. I won’t be putting the instructions on how to make the hair bows. If you want to learn how I made them, just watch my videos. :)
And when I was done to make my little bows, I was really astonished on how it gorgeous they were. I made three of them, by the way. I made a gray one with a red strip on the middle, a red one with gray strip and another gray one with yellow strip.
Here’s the picture of my bows: (sorry, my hair looks yuck)

I told you they were beautiful! If I only had more colors, I will make a head band of of ‘em. Haha! This just proves on how many things you can discover and make during summer. I’m glad I got this activity because it just shows that you can make different things using these tapes and you don’t really need to buy the expensive simple one wherein you can just flaunt the bows you made ;)
Okay, I’ll see you guys later for day 4! I’m so excited!! Here’s a picture of them:

Summer Love,
Maryl.
Here’s the video vlog to this challenge.
The second day arrives which leads me to another activity. It was actually last night when I picked this one.. and yes, I picked it randomly which is rule #1. I was really excited and can’t wait for what I will pick so I kinda cheated and did it before the second day. While swirling the papers, I was hoping for a good one wherein I won’t need to buy anything so when I got #23, I quickly looked at my laptop for what it corresponds to. When I saw the challenge, I was thrilled because my wish was granted! The things I need are only: a super glue, coins and obviously, the ground. Actually, my mom and I already got pranked by this one. I remember we were at this place my mom saw a ten Peso on the ground and told me to pick it up. When I tried to, I can’t and then this boy came behind me saying, “Miss, that’s glued there so you really can’t pick it up”. I was actually embarrassed because the boy might have thought that as theft. Ahah! Oh well.
I waited for like 5 hours to do this outside because it was like burning HOT, I’m telling you. So, about 4:00 p.m. I went down while carrying my cam. I took the superglue and some coins (about 3 one Peso coins). When I was outside, I sat on the cemented ground between our two cars for more shade and to be honest, it burned my butt. It was so freaking hot and I’m still lucky my butt didn’t melted. Then I opened my cam to take a video and I had to keep my voice down so no one will think there’s someone talking to herself. Well.. some people passing by were looking at me weirdly but, who cares?!
When I was gluing the coin on the ground, it took me about three times I think. It was actually fun because I think it’s also like pranking someone with it so I can’t wait to see if someone will fall for it. Aha! Actually, when my dad saw what I was doing, he thought it’s too cool so he gave me more coins! He even had this crazy idea of putting it on a wall which is.. weird. Haha! And I was like, “But papa what if we repaint the walls then there’s little circles on there? You know it’s not good.” and then he answered me with a pretty accusing answer: “Then it’s your problem”. Really great.. I’m telling you! But it was still funny. Btw, if you want to see how I glued it, just click here to see the video.
So yeah, that’s the second activity. I’ll see you all tomorrow for the third one (can’t wait!) :)
Oh and here’s the picture of the coins:

Here’s the video if you want to see it.
First of all, may a wish all of you a happy SUMMER! My last day of school was last March 27 and when I say last day, I do mean it literally. Well, not really. I graduated from elementary that day and it’s my last day in that school. The next day after I set my last footsteps in the school, I said to myself: “Hah! Summer. This should be the best one.” and so, I went to the internet and searched for some ‘fun summer ideas for teens’ (I had to put teens because I don’t want to put those adult-type-activities.. you know.) and saw various activities that surely made me excited for summer. I quickly typed some of them out in my iPad. It actually was funny because they were like millions of them so I only picked 60, due to the fact that I only have 60 summer days left. I know, so sad. But trust me, if you won’t waste any day, it’s worth it, because would you rather have 100 days of summer where you just waste it online or 50 days where you will have fun and do so much daring things that you will surely remember? Of course, in my opinion, the second one! Okay, back to the point. You might be thinking: “How did you picked them?”. Well, I actually just glided my finger up and down while I’m looking up then wherever I stop, I will put it on the list. So, that’s how I came up with my bucket list ;)
When I made the rules on how I will pick the activity for the day, something went to my mind. I can’t do some of them without the materials. So, I just added a new rule wherein if I can’t make that activity, I’ll just have to pick another one manually. But don’t worry, the one that I picked first will be in my waiting list where I shall do them A.S.A.P. I actually picked Challenge #4 but I don’t have a photo journal available anywhere in my house so I need to go the the bookstore to buy the materials.. not just for that one- for ALL of the activities. So, I just picked the first one which is to make a CD of my favorite summer songs for I have all of the materials: a CD, songs, laptop to burn the CD with. I actually got the CD weeks ago with my best friend for a very cheap price so I’m so glad I bought it. :D
In the ‘picking of song process’, it was actually fun because I got to go through my iTunes once again. Actually, I already have a summer playlist but that has so many songs and my CD can only hold 20 songs so I can only pick my favorites among them. You can actually see the video here. So, here’s the list of my favorite summer songs for 2012:
1. Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
2. You’re My Only Shawty - Demi Lovato ft. Iyaz
3. The Goldfish Song - Kina Grannis
4. A Beautiful Day - (sorry.. I don’t really know who sang this. Haha! :)
5. I Should’ve Kissed You - One Direction
6. Up All Night - One Direction
7. California Gurls - Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg
8. We Are Young - Fun ft. Janelle Monae
9. Back To Us - Kina Grannis
10. All Night Long - Demi Lovato ft. Missy Elliot & Timbaland
11. Summerboy - Lady Gaga
12. Domino - Jessie J.
13. Tik Tok - Ke$ha
14. Don’t Cry Your Heart Out - Cody Simpson
15. Who’s That Boy - Demi Lovato ft. Dev
16. Hummingbird Heartbeat - Katy Perry
17. Ours - Taylor Swift
18. Stronger - Kelly Clarkson
19. Love You Like A Love Song - Selena Gomez
20. Animal - Ke$ha
Okay. I know some of them aren’t really summer songs, but they just jazz me up. I will be definitely be using it while cleaning my room, sleeping and relaxing, reading a book, making DIYs, etc. I just really love those songs. I you still have more, then just message me.
So here’s my very first one! I’m definitely do my best to finish this bucket list. It’s pretty fun. If you want to be with me and share your experiences OR if you want to use my bucket list, follow me first then don’t forget to message me! I’ll really be excited to do this bucket list with someone. So.. yeah! I’ll see you guys tomorrow for another activity.
