New City...New School... New Friends...

Well Hello Fellow Bloggers(:

Well It's me Hilary and yes you read correctly I'm in a new town... and a new school .. and I'm currently in the process of making new friends /: The school is alright don't get me wrong but I just miss everything about back home /: The friends... the memories... the chill spots.. etc.. Sometimes I wish that I could go back but as my Mom says there are friends everywhere and I'm not at school for friends I'm at school for Collage. The whole point of me moving is so that I don't get caught up in friend time and so I would pay more attention in school. School back at home= lots of friends and amazing time. Here= 50 or so friends that I hardly know anything about. So I guess I'm going to 4 different high schools for High School not the best plan my mom has ever had but it makes her feel like I can get some where in life sooo... I guess I'm going to have to sick with it ): Story of my life at the moment... English Answer man advice. ? No. ? I didn't think so either /:

New school

So I am in high school now and I wanted to write on my own blog :) I have not been on since may and there is no purpose to do this because it does not count as a grade anymore. I want to give a special Hello to my former teacher "The English Answer Man". I currently with Yareni in honors history and this class is the best class....sorry all english teachers :) But anyways I'm off for now and hopefully I will write on my blog again soon......English Answer Man please write us back :)

Summer :/

It's summer, which means no more school. I really don't like it. I leave all my teachers, whom I've come to love, behind. People are joyous because they don't have to see their so called "horrible teachers". But all my teachers were amazing. And I will never forget them, because they left a permanent scar on my brain, that will help me through High School and College. I will miss all my teachers that include: Mr. Maass, Mr. Contreas, Mr. Lopez, Mr. Vega, Mr.Lawrence, and all three P.E. teachers.

Thinking about college?

It's the end of the year, and college is right around the corner, right? Okay, maybe it's a long four-year corner, but you've got to start thinking about how you're going to pay for it sooner or later. Might as well be sooner.

Check out my article on Pell Grants  called "Your Pal the Pell Grant" at collegepiggybank.org to start learning about the Pell Grant! Read it, and you'd better like it, too. Seriously: Click the Facebook "Like" button at the top of the article.

I got a Pell Grant to help me through my teaching credential--it's a sweet deal to start off your financial aid. If you thought you had to start off your college career crazy in debt, think again.

Lady Gaga - The Edge Of Glory (Cover)

Boys can sing too! I really like this song and I like it when people sing good songs. It also kinda sounds like something from the 80s. Please listen to it. It's a pretty good cover. I don't really have a lot to say about it. tell me what you think.

New baby born :)

so yesterday I wasn't able to go to school because my new baby cousin was born. Her weight was 6 pounds and sadly born with a fever. I know its kind of weird to say but....SHE SMELLS LIKE A BABY!!! SHE SMELLS LIKE BABY POWDER AND ITS SO CUTE! She was born May 26,2011, but strangely enough, it was also my moms birthday on May 26th too. Her name is sooo beautiful. It is named after a designer and it just fits her perfectly. I am very happy that she was the first baby to see being born.

Summer

My friend is going to be in an awesome play during the summer and I'm going to watch I would tell you where and when and stuff, but I can't tell stuff like private information without permission so, yeah. If you want to know more about it, then ask me in person. A lot of things are happening in the summer, my birthday, new movies, my birthday, and did i mention my birthday? I think it's awesome to be born in the hotter months because of all the pool parties. I just hope I can go to a water park. This post seems like its all over the place. It's because I'm just... kinda... tired.... zzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzZZZZzz......

Vans Warped Toor(:

I can't wait for Vans Warped Tour for this summer in Pomona. It is going to be amazing because Asking Alexandria, Winds of Plague,a Day to Remember and Black Veil Brides are all going to be there and perform. And still there are many more bands yet to come! The place is going to be so packed but its going to be worth it. Warped Tour is only $30 to pay and see the bands I have always dreamed of. This is going to be a fun experience for me and my friends because we can meet all of the people that inspire us there and I know that we are going to have tons of fun(:

Gaga's New Album!

I have Gaga's new album and its amazing!!! I can't stop listening to it!! I love it to death, I've been waiting a long time for it and I was so excited for it that I woke up early and drove around with my brother to go see if any stores were opened a 7:30 in the morning, we sadly found out it was a no. Target and Best Buy were both closed and Wal Mart didn't have it. We were sad but luckily I got out of school early so when I went home I was hoping my brother was there but he wasn't, so when all my hope was gone my brother came home and he showed me the most beautiful thing in life, Lady Gaga Born This Way Album!!! I screamed and went right into the room and popped the sucker in the laptop and started downloading it!!! I was so excited!! So ever since then I never stopped listening to it well at school but whatever. Anyways you need to get it, or you are lame! lol

Play It Safe or Go For It?

This past weekend I went riding at my dads house with my brother (Dirt Bike riding). We have this track and theres different sections in it one section is Motocross, whoops, Hillclimb, desert, sand, and there's alot of singe track well I was in the Motocross section and I was going up this table top and theres a little jump going up it, So I went for it but I forgot my suspension is shot AND you know what that means a little one foot jump can through you off the bike and well lets just say that's exactly what happend! But the good thing is that it didn't hurt because I fell off the side of the Table top and it was really sandy and soft. As you read the title of this article or whatever you want to call it? But it says Play it safe or Go for it, And that means you either don't do the jump or you do it and I decided to do it! In life there's going to be a lot of opportunities, but it all depends are you willing to take them! And you never know what lies ahead if you deny the opportuninty like the saying "If you don't jump the edge you'll never know what lies ahead."

Is summer really fun?

The end of the school year is coming up for many schools, everyone is so excited. There are so many thing we can do this summer. Everyone is waiting for the minute the bell rings and summer begins. But why do people await summer so eagerly? Honestly summer ends up being a bummer most of the time, there's never anything to do. All you can really do is go out with your friends to the mall or something but you do that during the school year anyway. What makes Summer so much fun?

End of the Year!!!:D

Hey everyone,
I'm real pumped up for the end of the year. All the end of the year activities and practically no homework in any classes! I can't wait for high school, a lot of people are scared but honestly I'm dying to get out of junior high. I mean I love all my teachers, they're great, but it's other people that I just can't wait to get to get away from. Plus there's going to be so much more things to do at Upland High. Anyways the end of the year is awesome. Now summer is going to come soon, which means time for the mall, movies, beach, and just chilling with friends!!! I can't wait, hope to see you all in high school and hope you all sign my yearbook too!:)

Social Media(:

Social Media is a fun way to interact with your friends, family, or pen pals. Social Media is a good thing and a bad thing. A bad thing is that if you post something you have to make sure it won't offend anyone because just by one post it can ruin your life. It can ruin your life by you saying something inappropriate or racial. It may just be a joke to you but, you never know if you really did hurt someone. On the bright side it is also really good to interact with others in the world because its a good way to learn new things. And it is also a good way to keep in touch with your family that may live in a different country or state. I personally think that its Social Media is a good thing but you have to make sure you use it is a safe way.
-Asking Hilary Mariee(:

Social Media

Social Media is well lets just say A way to express your feelings and Talk about people basically!
But Social Media can be a fun way to interact with friends or family, ecspecially family far away. That's why Social Media is a good thing, but then again it has it's ups and downs! One way to ruin your social life is by Posting about others and how they're mean, rude, nice, impatient.... you name it! Anything you post about people can hurt someone elses feelings or that persons feelings, or by putting up pictures of unwanted stuff! You have to have Seld-Control when on the Internet and Have to use your noggin, or else you will be done! People will bully you, comment mean things on your profile, prank call you, threaten you... etc..... Common Sense is a key roll Online, if you wont do it in person don't do it online, if you wouldn't tell your parents or show them, don't do it online! Always think before you press that button, Post, Share, Comment, Save, Edit, Like, Submit, Add, Etc..... All I'm saying is think before your actions!

Mr. Vega

I would like to apologize to Mr. Vega, even though it wasn't my fault, I was a little responsible for it, anyways, I stayed after school when I wasn't supposed to, but I had to since I didn't blog. Anyways I was angry. So I was saying stuff to make sure everyone knew I was mad, well not for long did I stay mad. So while Mr.Vega was taking a drink of his coffee in his dented coffee cup, I said I was going to jump him, and then I added when he's riding his bike, so then he spit his coffee everywhere, well not really, but on himself. Everyone was laughing at him and so was I. It was hilarious, so then he gets out a mini Tide To Go and starts cleaning himself which made it even funnier, anyways I'm sorry and hope the coffee comes out. I hope he learns not to drink coffee when funny people are around!!!

Social Media Ruins Lives

Social media can ruin lives. For example "Jessi Slaughter". To prevent ruining you life with social media, one is to just not write anything bad, keep it yourself. Another don't direct it to someone in particular. It will only get you death threats. Profanity is not needed in every sentence. It is unattractive. So don't talk about people, don't write bad things and don't use profanity every second.

Social Media

What do you do to keep social media from ruining your life? How do you use it for good?

I think the way of avoiding social media from ruining your life is just not to post dumb stuff or things like that talk about real important things. Think about what you write first. would you make fun of someone else writing it? Just think about what everyone will think and more importantly, the whole world can see it. So think before you type.

Social Media

Hey everyone,
I think that social media ruins alot of teens and even adults lives. Sometimes people post or text about inapropriate things that everyone ends up forwarding to others that starts a bunch of rumors. Someone sends a texts about something personal then everyone starts telling others and then everyone knows all about whats going on with you. If you are indecisive about sending something then maybe you shouldn't send it in the first place. Think before you post...or send!!

Social Media

My teacher recently asked us to do a social media blog about how it can ruin our lives and how to prevent ruining them. The most obvious answer is, don't get a computer or phone. Most people probably think I would be crazy to ever say this but in real life, thats the best way into not getting involved in social media or post crazy things that might get other people really mad at you. Sadly, people are rude enough to post things about you even if you don't have electronic devices. You can't really avoid people making rants about you but you could avoid getting teased thanks to it by ignoring those who make fun or just by telling a teacher of some sort to guide you through whats happening. Social Media can create or ruin your life, sometimes it's both. I recently saw a comment some girl posted saying not to be like a specific celebrity, but first, why would you ever comment about that, in public, on a social media topic, saying acting like that actress is gonna ruin your life, if you just posting that can lead to arguments and can ruin your life. Yes, expressing your opinions isn't bad, but don't go so far where people can offend you for expressing them.

Doctor What

This a song about a famous british show called Doctor Who. I know that i live in america but i'm really into English stuff. If you want find out what Doctor Who is look on wikipedia because i don't have the time to explain it. He's a member of a band that made an entire genre of music for doctor who called Trock (time lord rock). They're called Chameleon Circut. I also think british accents are awesome!

Dress code or No dress code?

Should teachers have dress code?

I don't think teachers need a dress code there professionals so they should know better.
Also there adults they shouldn't be treated like kids. Teachers are supposed to be mature enough to dress appropriately. I'm pretty sure they know what the can and cant wear they know there's certain guidelines. So no teachers should have the right to dress as they want as long as its appropriate and they continue teaching without disruptions. Some teachers like wearing ties and others just love being casual.

Teachers Dressing

I think teachers should dress nice and not slacker looking. For example, surfers shorts or guy tank tops should be dress code. Something nice like dressy pants and a good short or jeans and a dressy shirt would be a perfect dress code. I don't think you should over do it either. For example, really dressy pants and a really dressy shirt all at once makes you look like a professor. We are not in college yet so why look so professional. I do think their should be a dress code but it should be so slacky or fancy either.

my laughs

Hello blog readers. So I was recently thinking about how people make me laugh. I saw this commercial on the t.v. of a movie that's coming out called "Bridesmaids" and the whole thing is actually very hilarious. I know this might be a little mean but i also saw this girl fall earlier today and I don't know why but I would not stop laughing! I guess the way she fell made me laugh because it looked just like a movie fall, except it was real! I mean don't get me wrong, I have fallen really hard before but somehow I even laugh at my clumsiness when I fall most of the time. People should continue being clumsy and making mistakes because it could make someone day a whole lot better.

Teacher Dress Code

I think that the teachers shouldn't have a full on dress code but i think that there should be limits though. I think the only reason that we have a dress code is because some kids just want attention and take it too far. The reason that shorts have a minimum length is because some one came to school with some extremely short shorts. Students just want to do stuff that attracts attention to ourselves, I have no idea why though. Kids are weird. The only reason adults don't try to attract bad attention to themselves is because they can get fired.

Why can't Bloging be like Facebook. ?

I wish blogging were as interesting like it was earlier this year. I mean my mom always thinks that I am lying and she thinks that the only reason I need the computer is for Facebook which is true; I am on there all the time. She thinks that blogs are like Facebook if they were I would receive an A+ no doubt about that. I am always confused to what to blog about because usually I have nothing to say I mean on Facebook all I post is lyrics to my favorite songs and usually like 6 people comment it or like it and on my Blog I post something and i usually get 1 comment BORING!

Osama Bin Laden Dead?

Is Osama Bin Leaden really dead? That's crazy if he is! But I heard that he had several clones of him, is that true? I can't believe THEY found them! Is it true that he was hiding in underground holes in the desert?

Teachers Dress Code

I think Teachers should have a dress code but not entirely! They shouldn't be told what to exactly wear like oh you must were a long skirt and a nice buttoned up shirt, nothing like that; that's to childish! Teachers should have guidelines like: no tank tops, no mini skirts, no wife beaters! Teachers should be professional enough to know the rights and the wrongs! They should be able to choose their own wardrobe without having to worry about getting dress code. Like I said before they should be mature and professional!

Testing

Testing is all this week and so far we have 2 days done of testing:)) The English test wasn't that bad but the Math test was ok! Now we just have 2 days left of testing, science and history. The history one is going to be difficult because there's stuff on there from seventh grade!

Science CST is tomorrow and I hope I pass man I just switched to another Science teacher Mr.Lawrence! He's a good teacher, he's really funny too! But so far I've learned alot in his class, Like how to moon makes the high and low tides, and how a solar eclipse happens!
bye

Tesing Testing...and guess what else?!...more Testing

Hey everyone,
Ugh do I hate the end of April or what?! I mean sure we have have over the weekend and celebrate Easter...by the way Happy Late Easter everyone!:) But then when we come to school we have state testing. And of course since we're the big bad 8th graders on campus we have a test for almost EVERY subject. Yesterday we had our English testing but I did pretty good because Mr.Vega is like the best!:) But unfortunatly today we had my least favorite subject math. I had to take the geometry test though because that's the class that I've been taking for the year. It was was 71 questions of just boring, lame, and, well to me useless things, but that's just my opinion. Tomorrow we have science, but I don't really mind because I had an awesome teacher this year (Mr.Lawrence!). And finally to complete the week on Friday we have history but I'm pretty positive that I'll either ace it or at least get a B. Well I'm going to get back to class now, good luck on you testing and have fun, if that's possible. Bye.

Conditioning

Ok so today we Had conditioning with my soccer team! We went to a park to get into better shape: we ran up hills and jogged around the baseball field. It was weird when the coaches brought out these tiny parachutes, the parachutes were for us to strap around our waste and run with them going against the wind! It was weird but in a fun way though; OMG also I saw my old best friend there Alyssa she was about to play her softball game! I haven't seen her since 5th grade:)

Awesome

i was on YouTube yesterday and one of my favorite YouTubers said that they had made a shoe and it was on sale for 61 dollars. they have zippers and pockets and a cool necklace attached to the shoe that's all i wanted to say for now so bye.

Tatum C. Is weird she knows I'm writing about her right now because shes sitting next to me:) Hahaha. Tatum is really weird though she always ask me weird questions but I still answer them. But Tatum is a nice person anyways but shes very random too. she always calls me,. "Tori Tori Tori" & I'm like What? And then she one time said Hi:) I just looked at her and said hello! Ok Well I'm just saying tatum's nice ahaha!

Tough Lives

Why do some people have tougher lives than others?

I think some people have tougher lives because it was just there destiny. It's true some people are lucky to be born healthy or in good families. there's other people that aren't so lucky and are born with health issues or born to bad parents that don't care, or even poor homes. they don't get to choose there life no one gets that choice. you can only choose to make the best of hat you have in life and try to help others in there battles.

Testing!!!!!

Uh oh! Yes, you saw the title correctly. My school will be having state testing next week!!!! I'm very scared for these four days coming up because I don't feel prepared. One, I didn't have science the whole year so how am I suppose to pass the Science final. Two, we have been getting a lot of math reviews lately so its very difficult to remember everything. And three, I'm stressing about this so much, I barely have time to breathe! Just kidding but I am very close. I hate testing! I always get nervous and then forget many things but I always pass. I feel like this year has gone by way too fast. I wish everything could just go slower and that I would relive all the great moments. Unfortunately, that can't ever happen. Wish me luck on the state testing :D

Teacher Vs Students!

Hey everyone,
Man I can't wait for the basketball game on Friday! I know for sure that us students are definetly going to kick butt...ahem, I hope your reading this Mr.Vega. :P I think it's going to be the boys and girls team vs the teacher though. Its going to be soo fun!!! Everyone's going to be there hopefully and watch us do wonderful:) Well I've got to go finish up some homework (got to prepare for testing next week:/). Bye.

Lady Gaga's New Album

Lady Gaga's album's picture is here!! Her new songs I bet are going to be awesome. I love her newest one that was let out a few days ago called "Judas" and so far its amazing to just about over a million people!! I love this song so much I can't wait till the music video comes out, they say its going to have"motorbikes, death and,in the final seconds, a strong spoken word sequence about being beyond repentance."(Perez Hilton) I just can't wait!!!

NEWWW ALBUM!

ASKING ALEXANDRIA'S NEW ALBUM IS SO AWESOME! I love Asking Alexandria's new album! It is way better than the first(: I would have to say that Dear Insanity is my favorite song only because I wrote a song that is similar and that just gets me excited that I am not only a CRAZY fan of them,but I also have a connection with them and their music and that is something that I look for in bands or any singer.

Shakeys!

Hey people, Okay so todat all the people in voyager core that got honor roll were taken to Shakeys Pizza. So Beverly, Antionette, and I were together the entire time. Man the food was delicious, especially the pasta, I don't know why but I really like their pasta. But anywys, we were in the game room after we left and Beverly and I were playing Deal or No Deal and everyone was like surrounding us and watching and yelling and all, it got kinda loud haha. But I won 100 tickets, it was cool, but then when I went to like cash them in in the machine, it didn't give me my recipt so I lost 100 tickets...how sad. But anyways when we got back to school it was the last period of the day! Alright well I'm going to do my homework so bye. -Shalese Long

My First Referal

Omg! In chorus I got a referal! I know it was my fault but I feel I should have just got detention. In chorus my teacher was late so everyone was talking, including me. When he came he was trying to shut us up but was epically failing, so he started to count down from five and when he got to one I said "Blast off" and I told that to my friends, and since he was right next to me I was the one who got sent to the office. I don't know what to do when I get a referal so I go to the office and I talk to the principle and I get three days of ALC!!! I am so disappointed and angry at my punishment!

Lady Gaga

Well, this Spring Break I went and saw Lady Gaga and it was amazing! The feelings that I had were unexplainable! When she came out for the first time I cried because I was so close to her and all I thought was " My role model, my inspiration, my favorite singer, my just everything, is so close to me and she's right there!" So I started to cry for like a minute or two but I didn't want to since i was going to miss out. But every song was amazing. It left me speechless and so happy that I could die, get it, those are names of her songs, well it made me laugh. Anyways near the end, well we thought it was the end, she said bye and closed the curtains, but they came back up and she sang BAD ROMANCE!!!!! It was so amazing, and then we thought it was over and she sang Born This Way! And the same way she did at the VMA's or where ever!! I couldn't believe it and it just sucks that its over right before you know it. But it was worth standing 6 hours or so.:) You need to go to one to understand how I felt and feel.

Rebecca Black - Friday (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

So, I was surfin' on the web and this video was just everywhere on youtube. It has over 50 million views and most of them are haters. Almost each one of the comments say that the song is retarded. This has made me realize something. If a lot of people can't stand you, you will be famous. It's not that i agree with it, that's just the way most americans are. She gets more popular when webnerds( not in an offensive way because I'm one too.) tell more and more people that this song is stupid. It's annoying but very catchy. I just felt the need to tell you guys. Watch if you want. PEACE!

My New Haircut!

Hey everyone,
Oh my gosh, so I just got a new hair cut!! It looks so awesome. There's short layers all around now. I was going to get bangs but then everyone I talked to said not to get them so I didn't. I love my hair!!! But the only bad thing is that it's like really thin now, but it;s all good.:) Well I got to go now so bye...and have an bomb spring break!!!

Spring Break

This week has been so dull it feels like its friday ...i guess it's because we're all excited for spring break. Only one more day till break, I'm so excited. I hope i can hangout with my friends during this break ...definatly a break from school. No more homework for a whole week. Break is the best not so much thinking.

Breanna, My Sister

Today I didn't go to school but thats alright. Anyways, my sister and I went to the mall to return her TOMS and buy stuff, and after we went to Chick-Fil-A and we were bumping Lady Gaga really loud on the way back. It was awesome, I usually don't do much with my sister but when we do they are totally awesome!

Yeah you heard MR.LOPEZ is out for the rest of the week :O ------> MR.LOPEZ I HOPE MR.VEGA SHOWS YOU THE FOLLOWING(: Dear Mr.Lopez, I hope that you are getting well by the seconds because the substitute is super boring I mean she talks like a robot no lie.

A New Chapter

The 2Nd Trimester has left the year of 2011 and the the 3rd trimester has come to settle in and this will be the final chapter of my 8Th grade year and this one is the big shot for me because I want to graduate this year with strait A's and It will look better when I go into high school so they don't think that I am the average teenager that just slacks off in school. School seems to be kinda boaring now that all we have to do is Porjects and even more projects :p

Spring Break!!!!

Hey people. So spring break is coming up and I don't have a clue on what to do. I might want to stay home the whole break but I don't want to be a lazy couch potatoe either. I hope I go to Shalese's house too (my fellow blogger). No matter what I do, at least I am getting a break from school. This week has been hectic and it is only Wednesday! I can't wait till Friday because one, my school gets out early, and two, I am going to a park! I haven't been to one in a very long time so I am kind of excited. Well thats all I have this week so please comment and tell me what option to choose. :)

oh mah goodiness

I can't wait till spring breack because im gonna be co-directing my own mini-movie. It all started when me and two others of my friends thought about how scary the song ring-around-the-rosie is when slowed down. Then I went online and looked it up and saw that it was created for the bubonic plague that happened in england a while ago, like more or less than a hundred years don't really feel like looking it up right now, but it happened before the majority of the people reading this were born. The original song has three verses to it. The whole movie was created around that song so its really important. It's not meant to be really scary but in a way it is. Oh well i'll show you the finished product when i get the chance. Sydney out.

Spring Break!

SPRING BREAKS almost here..... spring break is going to be so much fun this weekend I have a tournament then next week I have practice then another tournament on the 25 and 26!

Movies!:)

Hey people,
I forgot to post about what I did on friday, I went to the moives! I was suppose to go with either Beverly or Emily but neither of them could go so I kept tyring to find somone to with but nobody else could go either, but then Marrissa asked me to go with her. So it was me her Becca, Stephanie, Nancy, and Jake. When I got there though we had to wait in line at Coldstone because my stingy aunt wanted a shake for driving me to the theatre but ugh whatever. So afterwards we went inside the movies and we saw Red Ridiing Hood at 8p.m. It was pretty good, but we kept laughing and talking during the show, and trying to find out who the big bad wolf was hahaha. But we took pictures at the photo booth and man that stuff is expensive. I fyou want to see the pictures just ask me at school and I'll show you since they're on my binder. Anyways it was super fun ad I can't wait till we go again. Well I ahve to go now cause my brothers have baseball, but I'll post later on, bye!:)

Car Club!

Hey everyone,
I went to the Forrbiden Fantasy car show today. I had to wake p at 5 this morning to get ready to go to the show. It was really cool. There was a bunch of amazing cars, and this car show mostly featured mini trucks, which is what Mikey, my mom's boyfriend (he is in the Nokturnal car club), car is. He just got his truck out of the shop a little while ago and it's a candy apple red with fur red interior. The entire time we were there we were checking out all the other cars and just chilling with the rest of the car club. It was pretty fun except I'm soo freaking tired now. Well I'm going to go to sleep so goodnight.

Well I can't wait untill High School No more bad teachers:)) Well I'm going to try to get straight A's this trimester I probably wont accomplish it, but maybe! I dont know I hope! Well I wonder what P.E. teacher I'm going to get for the 3rd trimester I hope it stays the same Mrs.Murphy is so Awesome! She's the best of all the P.E teachers:D

HIgh school schedule

So today the counselors came to the Junior High to tell us our schedule. And I'm taking advanced P.E. does any one know what you do for advance P.E.? Oh well and I'm taking advanced History do we have to take a test to get into that?

When In Rome....

This one movie I'm watching and it's called When In Rome. And it's about These 2 adults Male and Female and it's about how they end up meeting each other at a wedding, they end up falling in love and they're in Rome and theres a magical fountain and people though coins in there to make wishes and find love. Well The Female takes coins from there because shes mad she can't find love well the coins that were she took the throwers of those coins falll in love with her and they like follower her and she doesnt understand why. That's all I got so far:/

Allergies?

Do you think it's possible to have allergies even though you never had them before? Well, you see, I think I might have them but I'm not sure. Every morning, for like a week, I've been waking up with my eyes swollen and watery, and my nose is clogged, runny, or what ever it is.So I looked up on Google to see what was wrong but what came up was allergy medicine and what to do to prevent it if you don't have allergies. So I read it, it said it might be from not enough water, or not enough head elevation when you sleep, or allergies. So I did what it so to do, and there was more but I can't remember, but it still didn't work. So I'm not sure. If someone knows tell me. Please. :)

Soo Sleepy!!!

Hey everyone,
Okay so to start off today I had to run the mile, and it was terrible because if you know what I mean "my monthly friend" just so happened to visit me today unfortunatly. So of course my time was absolutely herendous. Then the rest of the day was just test after test. I have a test in geometry and history tomorrow, and today I had a benchmark in english. UGHH!!! But anyways, I lost mmy basketball game today:( Trevor's team beat us by like 8 points. They're undefeated and my team is in second place, 2-3. The after my game, I had to go to one of my little brothers baseball games but the other team didn't even show up, weird I know right? ut ya I was just chilling there practicing some more basketball while he practiced baseball. Well I'm going to go eat dinner, so bye.:)

Practice

Man I started playing select soccer like 2 weeks ago and we have practice for 2 hours 2 times a week and I was tired the first 30 minutes last week and this week I felt like I could do 4 hours of practice. It's so funn at practice yesterday they taught us tricks and it was exciting I can't wait to try them in the game!!!!!!

Bubba Stewart

Bubbe Stewart is a professional motorcross racer and he is the fastest rider in the world well the other day I was watching motorcross and He went of a jumped and whipped it well when he came back down his front wheel hit the ground first then he flew over his bars and tumbled and then as he's tumbling is bike kept going and it went over the next jump and stopped well he got back up and went over to his bike and tried to get back on and failed then he got on it and was deadlast and he worked up to 4th or 6th i think He's such an amazing rider hes so talented.

Random

Do any of your dogs like popcorn and goldfish? It's so weird my dog LOVES popcorn and goldfish! We have a pantry and we put her dog snacks in their well one day we put a dog snack on the left and a goldfish on the right well she chose the goldfish over the dog snack it was weird so from then on we just started giving her goldfish for god snacks! But She also loves POPCORN too everytime we make popcorn she like puts her paws up because she wants some and if you don't give her any she barks at you until you give her some it's so funny.

AYSO

Do you know the AYSO program it's for soccer? Well have you ever wondered were the A.Y.S.O comes from I saw a sign the other day and it said plAYSOccer I was like ooooohhhhhh. But the letters have a purpose the A stands for American the Y stands for Youth the S stands for soccer and the O stands for organization. That's so cool that they got that out of playsoccer!

Laughing

You know what sucks is when you hear people laugh out loud! I can't laugh out loud, when I laugh it starts out like a noise then goes silent and you just see me laughing and my shoulders moving I have a silent laugh and when I laugh now I try to laugh out loud so if you ever hear me laugh out loud it's a fake laugh but whatever I'm laughing at is funny still so my laughs fake but not the joke. Does that make sense I confused my self.

Weird

So I was on my way up to my dads and their was this weird looking thing on the hill it looked like abounch of new houses but it was at night so you could just see lights, the weird thing is though they were on the train track. I know that sounds stupid obviously it's a train but it just looked so weird, well as we got closer in the car we passed it and it was a train well you could see inside the windows of the train and you saw like pictures framed it was weird because I have never seen a traveling train up by my dads house. Well it wasn't moving at alll It was motionless. The next morning we left to go to the dirt bike track and we saw the train and it was still in the exact same spot and the weirdest part was the lights were still on and the middle section of the train was burnt it was weird because only the middle was burnt and it was a traveling train but it wasn't a modern one it was like from 50 years ago or something close to that it was boxyy. It was crazy and I think itt still might be there.

Ashton Kutcher

You know who has been in alot of movies Ashton Kutcher, He's always in movies ok well not really but when he's in a movie it's always like a really good one.

Omg

Haha My brothers watching That 70's Show right know see I told you We watch It all the time wwell I gues I said I did but yeah my brother watches it all the time tooooooooooo.

In 'N Out

In N Out I never knew they had a secret menu that's crazy and I guess if you ask them about it they act like they have no clue what your talking about. I learned that from Marrissa And Junior. Junior told me well I think it was Junior but he said that Del Taco or Tace Bell have a secret menu too. That's so weird.....

That 70's Show

That 70's Show is the funniest show ever, it's so weird because it's like and exact replica of the 70's it's so weird but you would have never thought that the show would still be popular, some people don't like it but that's their fault. I wonder when it will eventually die? I hope it doesn't:(( I watch that show all the time, I think the funniest characters are Hyde and Red. Hyde is always really mellow and Red it just Hilarious.

School Year

This school year went by pretty fast I still remember the first day. Everything seems to go bbye fast now a days. It's already almost the 3rd trimester, But I'm sure the teachers are happy to get rid of their students from this year.

P.E.2

Has anyone ever noticed P.E. is so lame we never have any big activites we should have more workouts, and more activities we either have free play go in the gym or run or play bastketball. It's so boring I heard that Pioneers P.E.'s system is so good they have like all these obstacles and drills and you have to do the work or else you get and F. I think we should have a better P.E. system.

What a sub...

Today I had a pretty funny day. Then again a day with a sub is usually a loud, crazy day. Most kids take advantage there are subs, don't even think of the consequences they'll have when there teachers are back. Some times because of this a whole class is punish and kids that were behaving well are punished to, that's not really fair. In this case they totally all deserve getting in trouble there were a total of maybe 5 kids that were behaving well. I mean I get doing it when there is a sub but they know better than to do it during a big test. I mean this class find the weirdest things to make noise, or bug the sub about. There sure going to get in trouble on Friday.I do understand them sort of but i don't think they know who there dealing with if there planning to bug her the rest ove the day i don't think that will be happening she's a tough one. I think by the end of the day there going to wish there teacher had been there. I just hope this isn't just the begining i have 20 minutes to go wish me luck.

Science 2

So has anyone ever noticed when Miss.Cheung tells you to stop eating she says *name* Put your food away and stop eating and if you say oh did you want some Miss.Cheung she says ok and takes some food and doesn't even sat Thank you and then walks away and you can go on eating your food. But if it's a food she doesn't like she'll tell you Put it away and won't let you eat it like Takis. Some one offered her some and she said no I don't like those and then says put them away....

Science

Science is the worst period it's like a free period all you do is hear SHHHHHH, SHHHHH, SHHHHHHH all the time no one ever does their work. It's so boring, All we do is talk and The the teacher comes and tells us to be quiet and then she ends up enjoying our conversation well mostly it's Juniors conversation but the teacher acts like they care but I don't think they really do.

The Weekend

So this weekend I am going to one of my best friends birthday party. I can't decide on what to get her because she has this weird style. She is a rocker but shes girly at the same time and it's very hard to find anything that has those 2 combinations in them. Luckily, I am not alone of this. 2 of my other friends are going too and they are having trouble with the same thing. I am deciding whether to get her a pink skull candle because she LOVES candles, or whether to get her some fake stretchers because she doesn't want to actually make her earing hole type thingy big. So please comment on this blog...well by tomorrow cause I need help, and fast!

Gnomeo and Juliet

This movie was really weird in the beginning then you started to understand it, I went with Marrissa We went into the theater after we go done watching Justin Bieber. And it was cute, we didn't get to see the whole thing because my mom called and told me she wants to go home so we had to go.:(( But I wanna see the rest! That sounds lame but whatever....

Just Go With it.....

Have any of you heard of the movie Just GO With It?? Well if you have then nevermind but if you haven't you really need to it's so funny. Adam Sandler the main character is basically the funniest character there is. It's Reall really really Funny. Well you should go see it.

Lunch(:

Today lunch with Victoria was really fun. We first went to go eat and the we went to the usual spot and that is the field. We meet our friend Aaron & Noel there. We walk around the school a couple of times and and then we just stay in one place and we talk about things that happened throughout the day and then we end up talking about our favorite bands(: We usually laugh a lot because if our friends Aaron and Noel they make us laugh all the time(:
-Martinez((:

?

It's so funny when your walking with a friend and they trip over the sidewalk cracks:D I do it all the time for some reason not on purpose though but my friends always laugh at me and it's so funny I don't understand why people trip over cracks? The other day my friend did the same thing and I know why they laugh at me because it's just so random your walking and out of no where Bam!

Is It True?

Does anyone Know if it's true that were going to graduate with Pioneer people? And Also I heard that were going to also have like some sorta dance with them too? Is it True???

Worst P.E. teacher ever!!!!

So today in P.E. we had this one blonde lady she was filling in for Mrs.Murphy and it didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. We streched then she said oh well maybe you guys should go run a lap or something, she didn't even no what to do. Then after that she didn't say anything to anybody, everyone just went to free play. Then when we were suppose to go to the locker rooms she said well maybe you guys are suppose to wait or something. She likes the word something for some reason.

English Assesment

The Language Arts test we just took wasn't that hard, it didn't have alot of stories in it which normally takes up alot of time. It was pretty easy, it only took about 1 full period and a half.

Concert :(

Hey everybody. So tonight was my schools choir concert and as much as it hurts me to say, we didn't do so well. We sang good for the first 2 songs but as soon as it came to the last one, it just went downhill. What messed us up was the fact that people didn't bother to learn the correct lyrics, they wouldn't do the dance steps right, they constantly talked, and they weren't even moving! There was also a small issue about the little space but that wasn't even why we messed up! I am not trying to be rude at all because I think everyone makes mistakes but this wasn't on accident, people purposely didn't practice. Most of the people were a grade below us and of course it would be them. I'm not trying to be rude to them either but they should know that we aren't getting any better if they don't listen. Plus, they automatically think everything is a competition when it's really only a fun yearly show representing our school. Over all the night went well after us and we decided some of us did our best.

Poem(:

Today is what is happens and let it be
yesterday was a past
if it left it will fade away in time
it will leave a scar but
we always have to remember
that there will be a day that
we will forget

Spontaneous inspiration!!

i felt like writing a poem today so,......

this life is short
with ones at ease
accepting death
to come as it please

live for today
not tomorrow
carpe diem
don't hold the sorrow

you say the pain
will go away
but you hold the grudge
and stay the same

bitter and angry
hurt and sad
if you let it go
you won't feel bad.




this was fun to write. :D

Who I am

Honesty is the best policy

Friendship is amazing

Happiness is great

Love is the best feeling

Registration

So tonight is High School Parent Workshop at the high school. Do we have to go? What do you even do there? Well who ever goes tell me if it was lame because I'm not going.

High School Registration

Hey everyone,
Wow, can you believe that we're going to be in high school in 6 months!!!!! Man I don't know about you guys, but I personally can't wait! So most of us had to go to the high school presentation during p.e. on Monday, I know it was kinda lame but at least we got to find out all our electives. I have to take World History as my first elective unfortunatly because my mom is all about my education and getting into a good college and all, but between us I'd rather just travel the world acting or singing. Speaking of which, chorus is the other elective that I picked. The only thing that I'm not looking forward to is that I have to take Algebra II for my freshman year, but hey I got to do what I got to do. Well I got to go, I'll probably see you guys at the high school tonight for another presentation on registration, so bye.:)

Jackie is Sleeping Over!

My friend Jackie is sleeping over and it is going to be awesome! Especially since my mom isn't going to be home. Hopefully my other friend Janet can come too, and Shalese. But now I have to ask if another friend can sleepover. And I have found out it is a yes! I'm so excited! I can't wait, it's going to be awesome, and my mom said I have money to get food and stuff for it! I can't wait!

Yet another poem.

Good afternoon fellow people
So today I am in my English class and our teacher told us to right a Haiku with imagery and personification. Here's my alright Haiku.

My dogs are my world
They don't think as we do think
But they do hear well

Yeah. It isn't the best Haiku ever but I was just testing out my skills. Later of course, I will fix all my poems if I have to.

Blogging is hard :/

Blogging is so hard when there is nothing on my mind. Its like writing a song and the person doesn't know anything of music.Blogging about random things seem weird to me I rather write about something that every one would notice but then again I don't like attention so, I rather stick to blogger and complaining about blogs.
-Martinez(:

Sleepover!!!

Hey everyone,
I spent the night at Antoinette's last night and it was soo fun!!! I got to the house and were playing Just Dance on the WII. I won a few, but she beat me more times. It was funny because I felt so ridiculous while we were following every single step. Then we were playing Twister and unfortunatly for me, I lost.:( hahaha but in the end we both ended up falling on our butts. Dang I must have gained like alot of weight at her house cause we ate alot. We made quesidillas, and had ice cream and we ate popcorn while we were watching Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Then we were going to go to sleep, but insteaad we wanted to go swimming. So we snuck out and ran to the other side of the apartent building and the jucuzzi was freaking overflowing like no joke. I had to stand on something though so that I could open the door for us though. The water was so warm and it felt so freaking good, because it was pouring rain, the wind was blowing, and it was 3 o'clock in the morning!!!!!! It was sooo freaking crazy, but sooo awesome!!! Then we snuck back in and were juat painting and liistening to Lady Gaga. It was the best night ever!!! I can't freaking wait to go back over to her house.:D
-Shalese Long

Shalese is Sleeping Over!!!!!

Shalese slept over and it was amazing. When she came we started playing the WII and we were playing Just Dance 2! Then we played twister! After ate some quesadillas and watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. We also made popcorn and hot chocolate, but we got tired so we were going to sleep, but then we decided to sneak out to go to the jucuzzi while it was raining at 3 in the morning! When we got there it was overflowing but the overflowing water was cold and we had to stand in it to open the gate. But we ran to get in. When we got back were painting and after that we listened to music and went to sleep. It was awesome!!!!!!!☆<3

She Won't Prevail!

Monica is challenging me, well she's trying to blog more and beat us( Ketchup) in how many posts we have and she won't win because I'm a beast and she's going to be crushed! She can't handle the heat, so she needs to get out of the blogs!

Snow is coming to Upland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do any of you guys watch the news? If so, did you hear that it will be snowing in Upland! It hasn't snowed here since, around 2006-2007! Hopefully the news crew isn't wrong because many people have been talking about it. Unfortunately I don't live in Upland. I live in far Ontario beside Rancho Cucamonga. Since it hasn't snowed in a while, my parents did allow me to go to my friends house whether it snows or not :) Cant wait until tonight when it starts to snow!

Rain Or Snow!

So the weather this weekend is suppose to be rain and snow. They said it's suppose to snow At 1,000 feet which is Devore. That's crazy some say lower than 1,000 feet like 600 feet. I don't know if that's impossible or not.... if it's gunna snow at 600 feet. Then Wrightwood is probably going to get like 2 feet of snow per day:) It also says that its going to rain alot this weekend in the lowlands. So I'm gunna take it that we're going to get alot at least 8 inches of rain a day.(:

English!

I am in English with Monica, and were just talking and blogging at the same time. Anyways, I'm just going to blog about our blog name, Ketchup. I don't like the name so much and feel it should be changed. Not for any reason in particular but just because it seems a little lame. I'd prefer something like, I don't know just anything but that. I'm hoping it gets changed. :)

Claremont McKenna

Hi people,
I went to the college field trip yesterday to Claremont McKenna, and it was pretty cool I guess. The campus was nice and the guides were really funny , but I think I would rather go to a larger school. We toured the area, met some of the students, and they answered all our questions about college and the courses and costs. I won a t-shirt which was alright I guess. Most of the day I hung out with Tristan, Ricky, and Brock. Then when we got back to school I had a basketball game. My team won! We went into overtime and ended winning 36 to 30! Yay! Well I got to go so talk to later bye.

Another Poem :)

Sadly, they are slowly slipping away
Their barks and whines will be no more
That manager is the biggest jerk in the world
He has his devil horns and bright red flames
While my 3 puppies have halo's and bright lights coming through them
That devil one gave us a week to get rid of them
Soon the big backyard will be sad and lonely

This poem is an elegy poem and elegy poems are about losing someone or something. Since I haven't lost anything special, I wrote about losing my 3 dogs. We recently got a new manager and he says that our dogs have to get out of his property in a week. Our family is very mad and sad because the contract clearly said that we have a right to keep 3 dogs. Now we are having a fight with our new manager and we have to go to court....fun.

Lady Gaga

I really can't believe how talented Gaga is. Sometimes I just listen to her songs and just imagine her singing them. I'm so serious when I say that she amazes me in everything she does. You might not understand why I love her so much but I can't explain it. Just everything she does makes me feel like I, like I can just be myself and do what I want to do. I'm the way I am because she lets me, and helps let it out. Most people think I'm crazy and I love someone who doesn't even know me, but she loves everyone and no matter what. She just amazes and lets me sing the way I want. When she sings she puts her heart in it, its just so amazing, and I keep saying that because its true, and I have the honor to go see her and get to be right next to her. It's unbelievable!

I LOVE LADY GAGA! I WAS BORN THIS WAY!

Soccer:)

Ok so I have this big tournament this weekend, for soccer we have 3 games saturday and then if we win at least 2 games saturday we go on to Sunday and have 2 games on sunday. Does that make sense?:) Well were in Section and were playing 3 different cities, Radondo Beach, Colvert city and I forgot the other one but if we win this tournament we go to State! -Tori

Girl Scouts!!!!!!

So luckily, we started selling girl scout cookies last month and we have been making a great process. I am really proud of my troop because it is just nice to know that they really do care about other people and the world, not just themselves. If we are able to gain enough money, we can take all of our troop to Disneyland :) If, unfortunantly, we don't get enough money, we just raise enough to keep on sending our troop to do fun and adventurous things. We are also having an event called Mall Madness which takes place at the Montclair Plaza but, the whole mall will be closed just for Girl Scouts. We even get to spend the night their too!! I do enjoy being in Girl Scouts and I love being a good role model for our little ones too.

I Don't Unerstand

Hey everyone,
here's another one of my poems. Hope you like it:)

I don't understand why life's so complicated
Why everyone argues
Why everyone lies
Why someone would want to make someone else cry

Why people get into fights
Why people don't respect other's rights
Why people start lives together, then leave without reason
Why people would commit something like treason

But what I do understand is why people love
Why they get married
Why they have children
Why they feel young when they're together again

I like her cover of it, her voice is pretty and it makes me kinda want to sing it too but I'm too lazy so i just decided to blog about it. Share with the world you know. So here is this awesome little girl singing an awesome song by Lady Gaga.

Poems!!!!

Hello there fellow people! So this week in my English class, I have been learning about different kinds of poems. One of those poems is called a lyric poem, which means its a type of poem where you express how you feel with a certain subject. I was thinking of sharing my poem with you guys here today. Here it goes.

A cloudy, windy evening it was

yet, it was still so beautiful

It smelt like Pine tree every time you took a breath

Everything was covered with huge trees

the road seemed as if it wasn't in sight

Even while crossing the state line, you still felt relaxed

no cars were in sight, until a car honked

then, just a cloudy windy evening it was.

What did you think?! Honestly, I feel like I could have done better but it's the best I could do for this specific assignment. Well thats pretty much it for the day. bye

(p.s.-the poem is abut crossing the Mississippi/Alabama state line.

Basketball Baby!

Hey everyone,
Gosh I love basketball so freaking much!!! I played at lunch with the guys today and Armondo like beat my nose while I was guarding him. It hurt sooo much. I had to leave the court for a little bit because I almost started crying cause it hurt so bad, and I didn't want them to see. Anyways, but after school I had basketball practice and I'm team captain! Ya that's right, they voted me and I didn't ask to be it, but I sure wasn't going to deny it! Practice was good today, I can't wait for next tuesday!:) Then when I wet to my brothers' baseball practice I was playing again. I think I'm addicted, you should send me to rehab hahaha just kidding.:) Well bye. -Shalese Long

Love

Love
Affection, appreciation, adoration
Love is blind, but never bare

McDonalds.

McDonalds......when you hear that word or see it what comes to your mind?? Honestly think about it.
.
.
.
.
Well when I hear/see of that word, I think disgusting, nonquality, Hamburgers, I picture a hamburger that looks sickening with grilled greasy cheese, welted lettuce, salmonella tomatoes, and deceptive pickles and fillers for hamburger meat. But really I just don't understand why people like it so much.... it's just so gross. So why do you like it, is it honestly that delicious? Wouldn't you rather have your moms Homemade quality cooking? And it's not just McDonalds, it's BurgerKing, Carl's Jr., Jack In the Box, Etc........
WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE IT??? DO you like it, yeah you the one reading this right now?

I found This awesome blog about recent activity in Dirt bike racing. There's the latest updates on Racing the. Recent results of the Worcs race. I think it's one of the best blogs I have found on racing.

Born This Way!!!!!

Omg! Lady GaGa's new song came out today at 6:00 a.m. And it sounds amazing! It's called Born This Way! I just love it! I have it on repeat, and I've probably listened to it 30 times already!

Poem.....

The opposite of Happiness
is the dark curse that lies within me
the dark shadow that won't ever fade away
I feel trapped there is no way out
In the light I seek hope and destiny
I wish I wasn't this dull
in life I want to live it to the fullest
but I can't seem to find it
(This was a poem I wrote in the 5Th grade I am not sad!) (:

Poem:)

The opposite of light is dark

Darker than any room

Without any light from the moon

The light disappears in thin air

And you can't bear

The sight in front of you

With a face or two

Reaches out an arm

Help? Or to harm

You stand there in the dark

Waiting for a spark

Anything with light

Your body gets tight

You can't breathe

You can't fathom

That you have been shot

In the worst place

And you wish you can taste

One more kiss from your loved one

But you've helped and have done

The most you can

But you lost the battle

Against the man who destroyed everyone you loved

Who came in your life

And thought you were ready to strike

Opposite Poem

The opposite of black
An absence of all colors
Expressing easy-going emotions
Surfacing on the light
Rather than losing yourself in an infinity of darkness
-Shalese Long
I had to write this poem in english class today. I wasn't sure what to write about so I decided to talk about black and white. And I'm not just comparing 2 different colors, I'm showing the differences between good and bad, right and wrong, depth and just there.

I enjoyed look through this blog because it informed me on teams, and what other people are waiting for in the upcoming season. this blog will interest anyone with the love of the sport.

Poem:)

The things I wear

The pink in my hair

All come together

And will stay forever

That's me

I know my destiny

I will become anything

Even if I want to sing

Or be a teacher

A doctor for every creature

Doesn't matter

But what does

I won't shatter

My Crazy Day With Nisa

Today was a really crazy day for us both. First of all me and my friend Nisa had to walk to school which was a really weird start to our day because when you have mom she won't even let me out of the house without adult supervision. Then as Nisa and I were walking to to the bus a really weird 6Th grader was hitting on us. It was pretty crazy considering that we are 8Th graders and he was not only a 6Th grader but was extremely short. I actually thought that he was an elf. ( no offence to short people) Then besides that creepy 6Th grader a hobo started yelling at us saying the the world was going to end that very same day but obviously that didn't happen. Yeah many things happened that day and I will never forget it(:

New Shoes and Painted Nails!

I love getting new shoes! It's like my favorite part of a new school year, besides clothes. I just love picking them out, and trying them on, and buying them. Anyways, my sister was like "Antoinette, you already seem boyish and those shoes will make it worse" (LOL) So I was like no, but I still got them but they really are boy shoes. Then later I got my nails painted and they're like a blue, purple, shimmer color And my sister said I shouldn't have got that color because I dress kind of with dark colors so it would make me look like an emo, crazy kid. (she didn't say the crazy part I added it in) but they look nice. I felt bad, though, because I thought my mom was going to buy my shoes but it ended up being my sister and the shoes were like $50 and she barely started working. But it isn't a big deal.

BESTEST BLOG EVER!:)

Hey everyone,
I found this really awesome blog on like eveything for girls. It talks about hot topics from fashion to beauty to celebrities and practically eveything else. It's one of the best blogs I've read. There are like hundreds of posts giving great advice on questions we have. "All Women Stalk" is amazing and I think that all girls should check it out for anything they need.

FOOOD!

I think that it's cool how Mr. Vega will let people eat things in class if there healthy. Like today, Antionette brought an apple to class and asked if she could eat it an he said yeah. then she was like "I should bring a watermelon to class" but Mr. Vega was like " no its not that healthy because it has sugar" And it makes me think about how I could bring any small vegetable/fruit that's healthy. I should try to bring something like a cucumber or something. I want some thing to eat right now BYE!

Eatin in Class

Today I brought an apple and in history Sam brought 2 oranges and a tangerine so I was like " I want an orange" and he was like "No" so then I said " I'll trade you". Long story short he ended up saying he'd give me some. Anyways in English I ate my apple and he ate his tangerine. But it was funny because he said he didn't want to be in this post 'cause then people would call him Orange Man. That is so funny.

MyChemicalRomance Blog(:

I was introduced to My Chemical Romance by Victoria Romero. Well... she didn't really introduce me to them she was telling me that she was actually complaining about that their new album called Dangers Days was a huge disappointment . And that she was waiting for so long for the album to come out and when she got it she was bad because it was not what she was expecting. So later that day when I got home I decided to go on YouTube and check it out. I went on a song that had caught my eye it is called Last Famous Words.That song is the best one(well to me at least:) this particular song is about how a person can be so heartless; and we just have to move on with life.Another good one is called Helena(So Long and Goodnight) this song is about like a farewell to a loved one that is resting in peace.

Blogs!!!!!!

Good Morning, well I have been looking for a specific blog that fits my liking. I did find one that caugh my eye though. It's basically all the things that is happening and that she is thinking in her life at the moment. I love how it's not just about one specific thing. It's about anything that comes to her head, so kind of like my blog right now. What also attracted me to this blog is that, she likes the same books as I do. This blog is just a great blog and it would make your day on a cold, rainy, ugly, feeling like you just want to stay in day.

Candy Blog!

Well I chose this blog because its about candy! Now I don't eat candy a lot but I thought since it's about candy it'll make it more fun. I was skimming through it when all these pictures of candy come up with paragraphs about them. One of the pictures caught my eye and made my mouth water! And I expect to see more pictures and more details about the candy and where they are from maybe. Also it caught my eye because it's about candy! Who doesn't love candy, and even if its a little!

Thousand Pines Christian Camp!

This experience has changed me in many ways. I used to not really want to go to Church on Sundays and Wednesdays but after coming to this camp it makes me want to go everyday if I could. I have some of the songs still in my head and if you haven't heard my voice then well its definitely gone, its because when we went to Chapel twice a day we would do Worship and we would sing it so loud that we would sometimes over power the band. I mainly lost it on the last day because he said lets make it count, so we did. Anyways it was so fun! We had paint ball and rock climbing. On the rock climbing there was an easy, medium, and hard level; the line was long for the medium one so i did the hard one and it was hard indeed. it goes up and comes forward a little, then straight because there's this piece that comes out of the wall so I had to get over it, but it was so cold there that my hands were stuck the way I grabbed the rock, and I couldn't open them so I was basically stuck. As I got passed that, there was a ledge that you could stand on, and once I got there I was like " Thank the Lord!". I was scared because I was obviously shivering from the cold and from the way I looked when I was literally stuck, I had placed my foot wrong on the rock and so it put me in an awkward situation, i was basically trying to turn toward the crowd, is how it looked. But when I got up to the top you have to get down somehow and it was by zip lining down but that part was fun. Anyways there was more but I blog about it another time.

Despicable Me

This movie is so full of laughs around every corner! I enjoyed it so much it was a 10, definitely. On one of the parts the guy was like telling his neighbor that his dog keeps pooping on his lawn, so then he says well he won't if he's dead, and then he starts laughing while his neighbor just stares with a "what" expression. And nearest to the end I was dying of laughter when one of the minions was floating in space still! I'd tell you more but you should go see it instead.

College Night

That night was long and a little frustrating for me. I walked in to the MPR from the back and saw a lot of people. There were booths all around and chairs full of people in between them. Anyways, There were about I think 8 or 9, I can't remember all of them but there was Chaffey, Cal Poly, San Bernadino, La Verne, Irvine, Fullerton, Upland, Riverside. Well I learned that some had no sponsors and that you couldn't major in social working in some. Also some were good for sports. I visited everyone of them but I don't think I'm going to work hard for just those I'd rather go some where else. I learned things that might actually help someone too like Chaffey isn't hard to get classes in and I believe you couldn't major in social working in all of them except Chaffey, Upland, and San Bernadino.

Willow Smith - "Whip My Hair" choreography

When I first clicked on this video I thought " aww some little kids dancing" then I actually saw that they were pretty good so, I decided that I shouldn't be the only one to experience this joy of watching little kids dance. It's so cute but at the same time you can see that they're really talented. I wish that I had some choreographers like them. Then I could be showin' off in front of anyone who would watch me. Anyways, they are good at dancing and I'm just glad that I got to show you.

Today After School

Today I had to stay after school to finish an assignment, and well half the time we were just goofing around, anyways i was making fun of Mr. Vega about him riding his bike home and how it is lame ( which it still is) and it just comes around and smacks me in the face and I just so happen to have to walk home, and while I was waiting outside Mr. Vega comes out riding his bike and is like I bet now my bike doesn't sound so bad now does it and I was sad, well not seriously sad, because Ricky and Antonio were making fun of me. But it was hilarious. We also made fun of how fast he walks around his room and we were saying its because of his coffee addiction and we were mimicking what he does and I was dying of laughter!

FINALS

Today was the first day of Finals and I have to admit it was pretty easy.Algebra 1 is too easy for me I wish I was in Geometry. I was worried because I got board in the process of studding so I ended up not doing it. When I was in Algebra I thought man why didn't I study. I was so nervous to even look at the test but, then I thought it can't be that bad I have an A+ in this class. When I looked at the test I was pretty scared that it had so many questions. Then I realized how easy they were. I thought I knew what I was expecting and it was not as compacted as I thought.I just hope the next half is just as easy.

Skillet- "Hero" Official Music Video

So, I was on youtube looking for random vids to watch when my friend texted me," Hey look up Skillet Hero" . So I did and I found this video. I watched it at least ten times when i decided that it was AWESOME. I like it alot. The music and the lyrics are very interesting to me and I thought that everyone should be able to enjoy this or watch it and say it sucks but, I wanted to know how you feel about this song because as a musician I'd like to hear what you've got to say

Good evening fellers,

Last Saturday, my sisters, my best friend Shalese, and I went to City of Industry Expo Center to go and have some fun with girl scouts around all of Southern California. There were many fun activities and games such as getting your own tattoo, an open mic stage, making your own bracelets, petting animals from the zoo, writing letters to our troops, etc. I would have to say my two favorite things there were getting free stuff I could use everyday and rock climbing! Of course the rock climbing did make us very sore and we found out it never good to put lotion on before you climb or you might fall down on your butt. We also took many pictures with our fellow girl scouts just having fun. The coolest thing there would have to be the Shamu painted bug there. There was so many little girl scouts that there was not a lot of room to move by from one end to the other. Overall it was very fun and I hope to do something like that again.

Holiday Weekend!

Hey everyone,
This weekend was pretty fun. On Friday, me and Beverly went to the movies and watched Little Fockers and The Dilema. They were both really funny and we were busting up almost the entire time. And the next day, me and Beverly had to go to a convention for Girl Scouts up in the City of Industry. (If anyone wants to buy some cookies, you can come to me!:)) We did rock-climbing and both banged up our legs against the rocks. On Sunday, I went to Laser Island with my family for my little brother's birthday party, evven though his real birthday isn't 'till January 25. Man it was a lot of fun being with all my cousins. I got first place in laser tag because I'm just that amazing at it! Hahaha. And finally, on Monday I didn't do much except go to the movies with my Mom and brothers. I had an awesome weekend! Hope you fun too and weren't just sitting down the entire time texting or playing Xbox.

Hidden Message in House of the scorpion

In the novel House of the Scorpion, Nancy Farmer talks about capitalism using a story about a five-legged horse. In this story it is explained that individualism can get in the way when people are trying to work together. The story says that if a horse were to have a fifth leg ( aka "individualism") it would just topple over. HERE(WEBSITE) <--- this shows that capitalism can prevent individuals form earning more than another and helps prove that this is what Nancy was trying to say. That if everyone doesn't have equal shares it could be chaos.

Five Legged Horse

I think that her point of government according to Nancy Farmer is Monarchy. I think that monarchy is because Raul (a keeper a the orphanage) "I can see we have cut out work with you, Raul said in a tight voice. I can see that we have a nasty little aristocrat who needs to be more educated about the will of the people!"( Farmed page 275) This is an example of monarchy because, Raul is judging Matt. Matt can't really do anything about it because everyone will be in trouble because of him. Raul is a keeper and that makes him superior then the others because of that post he is in. Raul is a person that looks down at Matt because his post makes him feel "more important" than others.

Five Legged Horse

In the story, House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, she writes a short chapter tittled, A Five-Legged Horse. In my opinion Nancy Farmer is trying to compare this place were Matt has found himself to a Monarchy."A monarchy is a form of government in which all political power is absolutely or nominally lodged with an individual, known as a monarch."(wikipedia). Farmer demonstrates this with Raul he is the one in charge the "Keeper" and the "Lost Boy"(0rphans)are to follow his every direction, with no buts about it.

Five-Legged Horse

Hello everyone,
I think that in House of the Scorpion, Nancy Farmer is using the five-legged horse as a symbol for socialism. Socialism is a type of government formed by democracy (ruled by the people) and communism (belief in coming together). In the story, Raul is saying that the extra leg on the animal is going to distracts the horse and make it less eficient. So to help the horse, they would cut off the fifth leg. Part of socialism is communism, "...advocate rebellion toward the ruling class." (www.wisegeek.com/what-is-socialism). The extra leg is rebelling from the others and not not working together. The other legs would represent democracy, because they are the people, and they are the ones being affected.

Nancy Farners ideal form of government

I think Nancy Farmers story, "House of the Scorpion" ideal form of government is socialism because i think shes trying to say that everyone should be created equal. For example, "We all have to paddle together to reach the store."(Farmer, 273). In this part, Raul is saying that everyone should participate on paddling and everyone is being treated equal. I also found a website that told me what socialism is and that led me to believe it was socialism that Nancy was talking about. Nancy, throughout the whole story, would write about how Matt was always treated differently from others, but Matt was a human. Maybe not full human but he was. That what I think Nancy Farmers ideal government is.

Winter Break

Hi fellow people who are reading this post right now :). Winter Break just ended and all of us are back to waking up early in the morning; what a drag. But luckily you get to see all your friends you didn't get to see over break. Sadly, when the said "winter" break they weren't kidding. It was freezing these 2 weeks and it still is! Theres ice on the roofs and on the roof of your car. During the break I even saw 2 people struggling to get their car door opened because the ice had froze it shut. Although, the cold is pretty cool. In my opinion, I LOVE watching that little smoke come out your mouth when you breath. Normally it would only happen when you purposely blew out. But in yesterdays case, every time you talked you would see it just like in those movies where there like in New York but without the snow! Back on topic, how was you winter break anyone?

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Goodmorning everyone,
Yes, I know it's late but I was tired. Wow! Can you believe that it's 2011 already?! I had a FUNTASTIC new years. All my family came over and we blasted the music and were partying and playing Just Dance on the wii. It was freakin' hilarious watching my brother and my aunts dancing! Man, I'm soo glad we are in a new year now!:) Got to go, bye.
