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 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.(:

Formula Poem

Purple
I think of friendship
It's like a candle that never goes out
Purple reminds me of happiness

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

As is screemo is the dark side
I think its good to have it at the corner of my mind

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!) (:
-Martinez(:

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.

Baseball News Blog

The blog i really enjoyed looking at is called the Baseball News Blog, it tells you the latest news on baseball players,were to get tickets, scores, and much more. 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.
-Shalese Long

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!

-Peace, Love, and Skittles,

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.
-Martinez((:

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!
