Changes

Home. 

Homesick.

Wanderlust. 

These are words I have been thinking about a lot lately. 

I have some exciting changes coming in my life pretty soon, like next week (more on that later) and so those three words have been on my mind quite a lot lately. My family moved a lot when I was young, so I never really got attached to physical places. I learned from a young age all of those lovely things grandma's have been stitching for years, "Home is where the heart is," and so on. As cheesy as it may be, it is true. So, I am shocked by the fact that I am saddened by the fact I will be leaving a place that has been my home for over a decade. I probably shouldn't be shocked, I have lived here for a long time, but this isn't a place that has ever really felt like home. I realized today though when I told the Postmaster that I was moving and when I ran into my UPS Guy at the gas station, I am really not becoming homesick for this place, I am homesick for all of these people. 

I will miss them. Some of them may miss me. It will be ok. I will be ok. 

Oh, also, how are you??? I don't really know how three years have passed without me coming by here, but I hope to be back before another three years passes!

Has it really been almost 5 months since I last blogged? Wow. It feels like it has been immensely longer. A lot has happened and a lot has not happened since then. If that makes sense. My Sister is going to Europe in 4 days. I am so excited for her. I wish I was going... But I also don't. I'm looking forward to staying at home for awhile. Besides, I was in Vegas a few months ago which is like going to all of Europe + Egypt.
Here are some photos from Vegas:

This was my favorite sight in Vegas. The colors and lights... Perfect.

Funny story, I kept calling this fake Macau because it reminded me of the time in Boys Over Flowers when JanDi and F4 played hide and seek. My Sister laughed at me.

I've totally been to Paris.

Well, I should probably try sleeping now... But before I go,
Happy Birthday, Audrey!

G'night, Ducks.

December 7th

Hi! I'm still around! Sorry I'm such a bad blogger as of late. That project I mentioned a billion years ago, I'm still working on it and the deadline is December 20th, so when I'm not at work or doing laundry, errands, things of that sort, I'm trying to work on it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get back around here before Christmas, so if I don't, I just wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic Hannukkah (I've got my candles ready!)
I hope you have a safe and stress free holiday. If only one of two is an option, I hope it's safe ^^
Now I am going to share my new favorite Christmas song.

November 9th

Oh my goodness, Blogger Friends. September 18th? That was when I last posted? Oy vey. I'm so sorry. I feel so bad about neglecting my tiny corner of the internet. I really loved blogging. This year has really taken a lot out of me. A little over a month ago my Mom broke her foot, so life has been crazier than usual. More bad things have happened since I posted, the biggest being my Mom's surgery and subsequent trips to the doctor and what not, but there have been some good things, too. I turned 21! Yay! I've discovered new Kpop bands and there have been new songs released by bands that I already loved. Coco and Duckie is all decorated for Christmas and we started advertising on A Beautiful Mess! That may not seem like a big deal, but I love that blog so much and it makes me so happy seeing our logo on Elsie's blog ^^
I don't have proper time for a blog post today, I just thought I'd come around again to let ya'll know I'm still alive and I have both my feet (currently)!
Thank you to those who still read this!
Later, Ducks.

P.S. To celebrate my 21st birthday, albeit belatedely, here is my favorite 2ne1 song.

September 18th

Hello, Blogoverse. Have you missed me?
What has happened since I last wrote? Doctor Who has new episodes (which are awesome). I have internet and a new computer. I lost my Papa. I saw Mumford & Sons live. I became obsessed with KPop. Amanda had her ankle surgery. I lost my iPod and found it again.
Many things have happened. Some good, some bad, some tragic. It's ok. I'll be ok. I'm ok now. I've been meaning to come back here and write for awhile... But I've been sad, stressed, tired, etc. Think of an excuse not to write. I used it. I wanna blog again. I've missed it. I'm working on a new project right now. I'm really excited about it. It's sort of a surprise, so I can't really talk about it until it's done, but that has been occupying any free corners of my mind lately. The project and KPop. Expect to read a lot about 2ne1, BIGBANG, B1A4 and more Korean Pop bands in the future.
In fact, I will leave you guys with a video of a KPop star in action tonight.


That's Taeyang from BIGBANG (which is my favorite KPop band) doing a cover of a Chris Brown song. I've never listened to Chris Brown, but I am really loving Taeyang's cover.

It is quite late. I should sleep.
Later, Ducks.

1st of July

Hey, Blog Friends!
It's been quite some time... I've been to come around and again confirm that I'm alive, but alas... I am an exceptional procrastinator. I posted a few photos from my recent sojourn to NYC on my tumblr. If you don't have a tumblr, first I'd have to say you should get one. They are awesome. Second, if you like keeping up with the goings on in my life + mind, I'd reccomend bookmarking that page. Hopefully, I'll be back here soon, but in case I'm on tumblr a lot, so that's a good way to keep in touch with me. It's like facebook, but without all the pressure of maintaining the illusion that you lead a really interesting life. Tumblr at times feels like the opposite. It's sort of like "Who can be the biggest introvert?" I jest of course. Tumblr is a lovely place. Moving on, as I said on Tumblr, my Grandfather is really ill, right now and my Grandmother died last month, so I just really haven't felt up to blogging lately. I wasn't very close to my Grandmother, but it still hit me pretty hard. I'm sure everyone says this, but I never thought she would actually die. If you knew my Grandma, you'd know why. She was a force of nature. Very stubborn. Because I didn't see her very often, the fact that I'm never going to see her again is still really sinking in... It's been harder than I thought it would be.
Ok.
I'm done being sad and talking about my dead Grandma.
Hopefully I'll be back with happy, fun blog posts soon... I don't want this to turn into an emo diary.
Have a lovely Sunday, Ducks.
Madeline

P.S. I'm also going to start blogging on our business' blog, Coco and Duckie, so keep an eye out for my posts!

Super Short Update

Hello!
I'm not dead. Life has been crazy lately. Many trips to hospitals and dentists and things of that sort. My family hasn't been in the best health as of late, so I haven't had a lot of time for blogging. Hopefully, this Summer will be different.
Here's some music I've been listening to a lot.




Cheers, Ducks!
