A few more crossed off.

13. Have a HUGE water balloon fight and 132. Have a silly string fight.
I'm not too sure when this was, but my two friends and I went swimming and ended up having a water balloon fight and a silly string fight. Not much to say other than it was fun being able to throw things at people without it being frowned upon.

55. Buy a homeless person a meal.
On my way back from school, I gave roasted casava (Kind of like a potato) to a little kid on the street. She was very thankful :)

191. Listen to a song 500 times on iTunes.
Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of this. Needless to say, I absolutely love this song.

:(

So, it's coming to the end of the year now and I need to re-evaluate if I can actually finish this list. I was going through it and I noticed a few that I couldn't really do. The main reason would be that I was anticipating that I would do these in England, during summer. But now that I am back home, I can't really do them. 

15. Buy a pair of toms

16. Buy a pair of vans
80. Go through a drive through on foot. 

100.  Buy a supply of lip smackers

101. Empty a gum ball machine

144. Make/buy a flower wreath and wear it for a day.

145. Buy a snapback.

146. Buy something really nice from a charity shop.

178. Go to M&M World.

I'm going to set these apart and hopefully add them to my next years bucket list. :) 

A few more to cross off.

I've only got 23 days left of 2013 and I have only done about 30% of it. Better get cracking.

35. Cover my walls with lights, pictures and lyrics.
I didn't go to school on Monday and I was really bored. I got my old pictures out, found some christmas lights and printed out some of my favourite lyrics and quotes. Unfortunately, I can't show you pictures because my phone was stolen and the camera has problems because it's donkeys years old now. I'll try and find a means of showing you some pics.

58. Hit a bulls eye on a dart board.
Yesterday, we held our annual christmas fair at school. My club had a stand and we were selling Mocktails and people had to play darts to win sweets. I might have gotten a bit distracted and started playing by myself. Needless to say that I hit a bulls eye :D

92. Be Tumblr Famous.
The other day, one of my friends discovered my Tumblr and asked ho my followers I had. I told him that I had about 670 followers and he replied "You're practically Tumblr famous!" I was quite chuffed. I also realise that people have different 'standards' shall we say and I am over the moon that 670 people from all across the world want to be subscribed to me and I love them all dearly for that.

128. Buy an ice-cream from an ice-cream stand.
I was walking back from my French tuitions and it was a really hot day, so I decided to get an ice cream. Yummm :)

193. Learn how to juggle. 
FAIL.

On a role..

47. Go up the down escalator.

Well, I kinda cheated on this one. The escalators were out of service so I just went up the (not moving) down escalator. :P

133. Make Smores.

A couple of weeks ago, a couple of friends and I went over our friends house. They a barbecue for dinner so we made smores. And they were goood. :)

166. Watch a sunrise.

I was sleeping over at my friends house last night and I also lost my phone. I couldn't sleep because I was so paranoid so I got the chance to see the sunrise. Best part, her house overlooks the creek so it was so beautiful. Worst part, didn't have my phone to take a photo :( 

Hope I find it. Ekk

A little update :)

26. Colour a colouring book cover to cover.
I'm on half term at the moment and a bit bored. I decided to get my colouring book out and I was so bored that I finished it all. Particularly one my favourite things I have done on the list because it is such a simple act of innocence that is underrated. I got time to think about things and regain some of my childhood. My favourites:

65. Get a tattoo.
So my mum said I could get a permanent tattoo, but my dad said no. Now I have to wait till I am 17 to get one :( But, I got a bit crafty and have some hena tattoo's. ;)

84. Get a Pen Pal.
I joined InterPals and started talking to a couple of people. I have already had a lovely conversation with a girl from UK. Looking forward to making some new friends :)
Go sign up - www.interpals.net/

103. Finger Paint / 32. Create a masterpiece of art.
As I said before, I was a bit bored today. I decided to get out my paints and have some fun.

121. Watch a foreign film.

This is an absolutely brilliant film. I can actually say that reading French subtitles for the entire film was worth it without a doubt. I was such a fresh film and some current films are nothing compared.
The movie is about a 10 year old girl called Laure who moves to a new neighbourhood and dresses up as a boy and introduces herself as Mickäel. I don't want to give much away but it is so true to heart and just lovely. Such a great cast and wonderful performances from all, especially from the younger ones.
I can recommend this film to everyone reading and I hope you love this movie as much as I do.

A few more things done..

54. Climb a mountain.

For a school bonding trip, we went to Mt. Kisagau. We did a lot of other fun activities but the main part of the trip was climbing the mountain. I found it really hard when we were just walking uphill but when we were climbing when it got really steep I was a champ. A few of my peers found it difficult to make it, but we all worked really well together and helped each other. 

115. Exercise More.

Every Friday, a couple of my friends go to the gym at our school. I normally do a lot of running and do some weights as well. It's a start to no. 6 on the list (Get my Perfect Body). Just have to fix my diet. 

168. Save a life.
Today, in school my friends and I found four baby kittens, must have been a week old that were abandoned by their mother. My friend took two of them home and is going to find homes for them and another friend and I took the other two to the local animal shelter. 

An update

So, it has been 64 days since I last updated this blog. Been having summer fun, and by this I mean sleeping till 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Schools back but I decided to update my blog on all the few thing I did over summer and previously.

152. Graduate from MYP.

On June 21st, I graduated from the Middle Years Program. For those who don't know what this is, it is Year 7 through Year 10 of the International Baccalaureate System. It is a very hard course but very fulfilling. For those who do IB, you understand what I mean. Only got 2 more years left now! Woop Woop :D

117. Take photo's in a photo booth.

My sister an I were in Reading doing some shopping along with our dad and I saw a photo booth so I insisted we go in. 

1. Go on an all day shopping spree.

As sad as it is, this did not only occur once during summer, but several times. We would set of late afternoon and go back home in the evening. Did a lot of shopping this summer. 

107. Read 'Perks of Being a Wallflower'.

Absolutely brill book. Read it in a couple of days. I just loved it. If you have not read this book, then I suggest you do so, like now.

169. Babysit.

My sister and I babysat for my cousin over the summer because she wanted to go see her toher child's graduation from 1st grade. We only watched him for a couple of hours, but I count it still. 

182. Try Ben & Jerry's ice-cream.

AMAZEBALLS! I had the Chocolate Fudge Brownie one. It was sickly sweet, just the way I like it. 

189. Complete the PADI course.

This I only did this last Saturday. We went deep sea diving 18m deep and saw sharks. It was so amazing. Plus, I passed my test :D I am now a certified diver. 

192. One week without Facebook.

Some of you are probably wondering why on earth someone would want this to be something to do on their bucket list, but I just mainly wanted to see if I could actually do it. And I did. Mainly because the Wifi wasn't working, but I could have just gone on my phone, but I had restraint :) 

17. Get a whole new wardrobe.

Sooo, I did a lot of shopping this year. I probably bought more clothes than there was previously in my closet. :P 

74. Start collecting something random.

I kinda couldn't decide what to collect at first so I ended up collecting two things; bouncy balls and key rings. I initially wanted to collect sugar sachets from restaurants, but I decided against it. 

176. Buy the perfect bikini.

I found it in Accessorise and I absolutely love it. Haven't worn it yet, but I love it. It suits by body type really well. 

# 148 Buy a really nice dress that I love.

My dad bought me this dress for prom and I absolutely love it. 

#140 Go, Go Carting

I actually did this one a while ago but never wrote a post about it. My dad, sister and I went to the track. We drove a couple of practice laps and then we raced. I came 3rd :( I'm only 15, leave me alone. It was a lot of fun though.

#130 Photo-bomb someone's photo

Yah, that is me at the back pulling an awful face at the back.

Fun night though :) 

#186 Get 400 followers on tumblr.

Woke up this morning and this happened. :O

Another 119 :)

One more checked down. 17 down and another 177 left.

6 months passed and only done 9% of my bucket list. Better get cracking over the summer :P

Have a nice day,

Love, Sarah :) x

#185 Get 300 followers on tumblr.

Yay! Another 100 followers. I definitely had to be more proactive about this item. I was looking for loads of new blogs to follow and found some amazing ones. And I really do think that 12,862 posts is tad bit too much seeing as though I have only had my tumblr for 7 months. I am literally addicted and I should have more self-control, especially because I have exams starting this monday, but I am such a procrastinator.

Anyway, another item crossed off the list. :)
16 down and another 178 left to go and only 8 months left in the year. eek :O

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#147 Participate in a Charity Event

I'm in a club called CanCare and we try to raise money for different health realted foundations in our community. A couple of weeks ago, we organised an even called "Runway to Relief". Two fashion designers from Nairobi came down to showcase their designs. We then had an after party were a widely known DJ, Barney Barrows came. It was an amazing night and I got the chance to actually model some of the clothes. In the end, we made over 200,000 KSH, which is just over £1,500 pounds or $2,400. All the money is going to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and I am so proud of our accomplishments because I know that the money is going to make a big difference for so many children :)

 This was at the after party.

 Really did not like this outfit, but we did not got to choose really. 

Tumblr and Minty Fresh Breath

#67 Eat a whole pack of gum in one go
Tried to take a video but it froze half way through. Not sure why this was on here. But I now have minty fresh breath :P

#106 Reach 10,000 posts on Tumblr.
This was one that I thought might not happen, but it has been done in 4 months of this bucket list and 6 months of having my tumblr. That is kind of sad. I do spend a lot of time on tumblr, but with all the other items to try and knock off the list, I have stuf to preoccupy me off tumblr.

Ps. 10 more followers! Yay, If any of you are on tumblr make sure to check out my blog. I follow back.

A Somewhat Productive Day..

#36 Have a Shrek marathon
Two of my best friends came over today to help me cross off a couple items off the list. We had planned to have a Shrek marathon, play monopoly (so I could win), do the chubby bunny challenge and make a could of videos to put up on youtube. This however was not what the day had in store for us. We watched the first movie, but then one fo them skipped past the whole movie. We then watched the FULL second one (because it is the best) and when we were watching the third, I fell asleep. Being the brilliant friends they are, they drew on my face with lipstick. 

How attractive. Not my best pictures.

#161 Do the Chubby Bunny Challenge 
Well, this was harder than I expected it to be. I only fit 5 in my mouth while I could still say chubby bunny, but I my gag reflex was acting up and I couldn't say it on the 6th one i put in my mouth. I attempted this with one of my best friends and she won :( Boo.

Video will be up soon :)

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah

#184 Get 200 followers on tumblr.

Yay! Finally :)

I love you all, thank you soo much. I know I am not tumblr famous but, woot woot :D

Ps. Consider #106 (Reach 10,000 posts on tumblr) almost complete

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#172 Watch The Bucket List

I have no idea why I had not watched this movie before, I am a movie lover. How can you do a bucket list and not watch The Bucket List.
In fact the movie does not show that much of the items being performed, it is more about the impact of the venture that they undertook. Lovely storyline, few laughs here and there and voerall a great movie. If you have not watched this movie, I highly recommend it.

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#91 Pay for something in 1 bob coins/Penny’s.

I actually did this I think 2 years ago, but just forgot about it. I had two overdue library books for like months. I did not want to ask my parents for the money, so I got a jar of coins that I have a counted them all up. I then taped them in 10 bob stacks fo coins to make it easier to count.
The librarian was so shocked and said she did not want to accept this, but I then made my case that it is money, she can't really not accept it. She then took and I felt like boss :P

Ps. I gave 200 coins because each book is 100 shillings.

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah

#163 See more Wildlife on Safari

While camping, I got the chance to see more wildlife. I unfortunately did not get to see a Lion though :(
But here is slist of all the animals seen:

• Giraffe
• Elephant (LOADS)
• Buffalo
• Zebra
• Impala
• Waterbuck
• Hartebeest
• Rock Hyrack
• Stripped Gazelle

I think there where a few more but I cant seem to recall what they are. Pictures will be up soon :)

Have a nice day

Love, Sarah :)

#122 Go Camping

My dad, my sister and I went camping over the weekend. We camped in a local camping site in a game park called Tsavo, where you can see all kinds of wildlife (Lion, Elephant, Giraffe etc).
We had to come back a day early because the camp manager guy was not doing his job by looking after our tents and stuff and the baboons destroyed the tent.
However, it was a nice experience and glad I got to see more wildlife.

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#135 Bake really pretty cupcakes

I made Coconut Cupcakes with Lemon and Coconut icing with bounty.
They were really good. I love anything lemon and anything coconut.
Well, some may say that they are not pretty, but I normally just make plain chocolate cupcakes and that is it. I think they are :)

They are really yummy.

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#88 Do the Cinnamon Challenge

FAIL.
It was awful.
Will put it in YouTube so you can see.

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#160 Watch The Breakfast Club

Watched the Breakfast Club.

I did actually like this film. I didn’t think that I would even like an old film, but this movie is timeless. Highly recommended. 

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#159 Finally Finish Brisingr

I Finally finished the book Brisingr. 

It has taken me about two years to finally finish the 700 something paged book. I still have no idea why it took me this long because it was a great book :) Recommend to anyone who likes Sci-Fi books (You need to to read the whole series though)

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#9 Receive Valentines Day Flowers

Well, I will count this but I got a red rose from one of my best friends on Valentines Day.

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)

#134 Win a game of Chess

The first item to cross of the list is ‘Win a game of chess’. How exciting right? Call me nerdy but I actually enjoy chess, but I always loose. With the amount of games I have played [a lot], I have only won 1 game, against my dad. We were both pretty shocked actually. Anyway, we played 2 games and the first one I lost, really baldy. Then we played a game of speed chess. This is when it got fun. When we play regular chess, he always takes FOREVER to make a move, it’s really quite annoying actually. To get back at him I always take long to make my move, even though I decided where I was going to move ages ago. And because he didn’t have long to decide his moves, I won.

Technically, I didn’t actually get his king into check mate. I just got all his pieces until he only had his king and a pawn left. He then forfeited. But I still count it as a win. :)

Have a nice day
Love, Sarah :)
