cold friday

Oh my mothers, it is so cold today. It feels like an ice age in this room, like literally. So it's the last day before vacation begins!!! I can't wait to sleep, that is all that's on my mind right now, besides my math test twelfth period. God, i hope i pass that test because i studied most of the week for it and i deserve to pass. I don't have much to say today because i am really REALLY tired. i want coffee so badly. I am really craving it. AHH.. Can't wait for this day to before =] Later dudes

"Don't judge a book by it's cover"

This is one of the most over used phrases and it happens to be very typical in our society today. Everyone throws it around like it's just some regular words, but little do they know, it means alot more. Children, teenagers, men, women, they all tell one another not to judge someone by their outer characteristics, but do they truly mean it? Well, i don't think so. I believe that people use that phrase because it makes them feel that they're doing a good deed for someone which, makes them feel happy about themselves. Don't get me wrong, not everyone thinks this way, but the majority of us does.

Most of us are hypocrites because we say don't judge someone, but then we do the complete opposite. It's just really sad because we should be better than that. We should respect and care for one another not for our appearances, but for the qualities that defines our character on the inside. I wish that as a community, we would be more like this. I bet that if it was like this, their would be less problems and more peace.

Sarah Dessen

WOW.. is all i have to say to describe this author. Sarah Dessen is one of my personal favorites. Her books are extraordinary and captivating. Every time i read one of her masterpieces i never want to put it down. i don't exactly know how to explain it, but her books always teaches me lessons about life,love,family and pretty much everything a teenager worries about. One book in particular, that i have read earlier this year was "Along for the Ride". It is about a teenager name Auden, who buries herself in her books and getting the perfect grades in school. she's not very socializing, meaning she keeps to herself alot.

Then, summer happened and she miraculously broke out of her shell. That summer changed her life forever and then some more. Auden learned more that summer than she ever did in her books . She learned how to take a breather, have fun, and still manage her education. It is definitely a book any teenager would want to read.. I guarantee that. On the other hand, i am currently reading another one of Sarah Dessen's books. It is called "Lock and Key", and i just know it will be thrill.

STUCK...

Hello bloggers! how are you today? As you probably know, i would like to pursue a career in writing when i am older. So i decided to write a book and well, i am not exactly getting anywhere right now. I started writing in october of 2009 and i am still stuck on chapter three. Yes, it's pathetic and yes, i do need to start writing again. I made the decision to write a book because one day i was thinking about my future and it suddenly stunned me that i never.. EVER finished anything that i started. How sad is that?

So lastnight at 3:30 or should i say earlier this morning, i had a talk with my sister and she motivated me to keep on writing because according to her " i will be an aweasome writer one day, who will make mad money." Eh, i am not too sure about that, but who knows what the future holds, right? Anyways, i think that i will continue writing my book this weekend and maybe, just maybe it will turn out the way i want it too. I shall keep you all updated when i am almost near the ending.. but for now goodbye!

SPRING =]

The flowers are blooming and the weather is warmer, which means spring is here and i couldn't be happier. Spring is my favorite season ever. It is not too cold nor is it too hot, it's just the perfect weather. Anyways, this weekend was very exciting. Yes, it was my birthday and i had a blast, of course. I went shopping with my friend and i saw two movies. I saw Remember me and Our family wedding. Wow, they were both surprisingly good. One is based on a tragic love story and the other is a comedy, full of laughter. So you must see it! Other than that, i did homework, read a book and studied. That was pretty much how i spent my weekend. How was yours by the way?

BY THE WAY, ONE WEEK UNTIL SPRING BREAK! YAY!

Parent Teachers conference

Yikes, confrontation day has come. My dad is coming tonight to meet my teachers for the second time. For the first time however, i am actually scared. For the past few weeks, i have been having set backs, which is not good at all for me. My dad will probably be a little angry but very disappointed. oh man, i don't know what i am going to tell him. Might as well just tell him the truth and rip the band aide off. Let's just hope it won't spoil my birthday plans. Well, goodbye people!

wonderful wednesday

howdyyy everyone =]; isn't it such a wonderful day? the weather is lovely, i am in a pleasant mood and the world is at peace, well my world atleast. I cannot wait to get out of school because i want a frappucino very badly. Starbucks is the hot spot and it's also my favorite place to get a pick-me-up. Anyways, for the first time in a very long time, i actually enjoy being in school. Can you believe that? I just know it's because of the refreshing weather outside. So i shall go now. Goodbye!

Description of my blog:

Hello there, everyone.Let's just get right to the point and say my blogs varies from many different topics. For example, one day i would be going on and on about the latest book i have read and then, the next i would be talking about school or being bord. What i am basically saying is my blog does not serve it's purpose. It's "suppose" to be about my favorite books and movies, but most of the time it's about things way off topic, like superbowls, entertainment and news stories. Many would find my blogs entertaining and others may not because everyone has different interests and hobbies. However, you should check it out either way. Bye

BOOKSSS. =]

hiiii everyone. I just finished the book "shiver" this weekend and it was pretty decent i guess. It could have been better...anyways i am going to start a new book today. It's called "vampire academy", and it seems really good. My friend likes it, so i probably will as well. I have so many books to read and i am physced to read them all. Ah mannn, i love books =]] later dudes. TTFN

Venetia's recommended blogs

There are three blogs in particular that i would reccomend you read. Alicia's blog is the first one that i choose. I think that she is such an amazing writer and when you read her blogs you will understand why i say that. Their is something about her writing that captivates my attention and personally, that does not happen all the time. Alicia's blogs are about fashion, music and most importantly, books. If you may not know me, let's just say that i am a book worm. So when anyone talk's about books, all my attention goes directly to that person. Well, after reading several of Alicia's blogs, i can say that she has read very intriguing books. 
  In addition, the second blog i choose is Afeerah's. In my opinion, as a friend of Afeerah's, i think that she is a wonderful person. She may not be the world's best writer, but her blogs can be ultimately interesting. Afeerah's blogs are based on the movies she has seen, news stories, and of course, entertainment, specifically singers that attracts her attention. For example, she wrote a blog about Michael Jackson that i felt was amazing, partly because i love Michael Jackson as well. I feel that Afeerah is a delightful writer.
   To conclude, the third and final blog i choose is Mocha's. I choose her blog because it's unique. If you haven't seen her blog, then you obviously don't know what I am talking about. However, Mocha's blog is based on zodiac signs/astrology. I thought that was a creative idea and I don't believe that anyone else would have thought that. She talks about our horoscopes and what might possibly happen. It is very entertaining, so check it out.

I hope that it will be funnn. Hopefully!!! But parent tecaher conference is on the 19th. can you believe that? I just hope that my teachers doesnt have anything bad to say. Anyways, later dudes. -TTFN

Celebrities part two

  What does America's obsession with celebrities' tell us about American culture? Why is America so captivated by the glitz and glamour of celebrities' lives? How vast of an impact do they have on us? Is there even a positive outcome of our fixation?  
   Well, our American culture today are incredibly obsessed with celebrities'.  Everywhere you go in New York, you hear the whispers and the chit chats about celebrity calamities and the new controversy surrounding their lives. It's actually quite disturbing for celebrities because they have ordinary people, like one of us taking pictures of them, camping out by their houses and following them around. It's just very sad and unecessary. Many celebrities' children also, pay the consequences of living the good life because their childhood aren't exactly normal. They don't have the freedom that many of us children have. One of the many causes of this problem is of course, the paparazzi. They follow them around everywhere they go. The paparazzi can be very suffocating and that's why i believe that many celebrities throw tantrums because they are practically being smothered by cameras.  
   In addition, there are a few pros to America's obsession with celebrities'. It may seem sort of hard to believe, but celebrities' do have an impact on our culture. For example, many people who read the tablouts and magazines learns alot from celebrities'. Most of our younger generation look at what celebrities' do and they want to do the samethings. On the upside, these things are not necessairly bad. Some celebrities' are great romodels for kids in our day in age. One person who inspires me and many other people is Angelina Jolie. She is a fantastic actress and I believe a great mother. Ms. Jolie has done many amazing deeds like, helping the less fortunate and taking care of all her adoptive children. This motivates me to play an active role in my community, and help the less fortunate. I am positive that many people would say the same as well. 
  To conclude, I believe that Americans are obsessed with celebrities because they're wealthy and famous. They  basically have everything a typical teenager or an adult may want. It's ridiculous but it's true. We are a celebrity crazed society and that's just the way it is.      

Angelina jolie

Well, let's just say i don't have a favorite celebrity because there are so many great ones. One in specific is Angelina Jolie. She is an amazing actress and a very generous women. She has adopted so many children, whom were suffering and takes great care of them and her biological childdren as well. Angelina Jolie is unlike many celebrities and that's what makes her unique and amazing. She has a big heart and alot to offer and that's what inspires me about her. Many may say harsh and cruel things about her but from a fans point of view, i like her. I hope that she continues to help the less fortunate, which she most likely will do and keep on making great movies. Bravo Angelina!

Fame, money, power = celebrity

In my opinion, each and every celebrity that complains about the paparazzi's are stupid because they wanted fame in the first place. They should've known that fame comes with it's baggage,just like everything else does. Many people become so consumed by the media and upholding their reputations, that they make bad choices and it leads them into alot of problems. This, then becomes a controversy in the public eye and before you know it, pretty much everyone in America knows. Ridiculous huh? Yep, it definitely is. After reading Naomi Campbell's latest controversy, she has made yet another bad choice of judgement. If you may have heard, Campbell assaulted her chauffeur, but he is not pressing charges. That must be a relief for her. Well, Naomi Campbell is basically known for her bad choices. I believe that its imperative that she goes to counseling for anger management/therapy. She really needs help. However, this is no different from many other celebs whom have entered drug rehabs, sex rehabs, prison, etc. To conclude, i strongly believe that the fame, money, and power clouds peoples judgement and it leads them astray. This is unfortunately, the down side to being a celebrity.

testsss!!

oh my gosh, this entire week is all about tests. Practically everyday,this week i had a test. My god, i cannot wait until this week is over. Ugh. Well, on the upside of things, my birthday is coming up. Yep yep, i'm a picses! We are aweasome people, hehehe. Anywhos i will be sixteen and i can't wait because i'm going to start driving. Yayy! I hope that my birthday will be funn this year! Later -TTFN

Haiti and chile devastations

As many of you may have heard, on February 27,2010 a disasterous earthquake caused severe destruction to yet another country. Chile was that country, that unfortunately was hit by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake. This massive quake happened to be 500 times stronger than the 7.0 earthquake,  that took atmost 200,000 Haitian lives in the last month. It has been of much debate, whether it's unfair that Haiti is recieving more aide than the South American country, Chile.
  After reading articles, I learned that the death toll in Chile was approximately 800, while in Haiti the death toll was atleast 200,000. Yes, it is very sad indeed. It was stated that after an earthquake in 1985, the Chilean government made buildings earthquake-resistant, which is pretty clever. So when this tragedy took place, a very few structures collapsed fully. On the upside, a vast amount of civilans may have been left homeless, but atleast they survived, whichis the least i can say about Haiti. In my opinion, Haiti suffered a greater loss. 
  In addition, the country of Chile was well equipped in case of natural disasters. They were definately much more prepared for disasters than Haiti was. Also, the government was much more standardized and wealthier than Haiti. Thankfully, their are thousands of people that are helping the people of Haiti now, including many celebrities. The American redcross and the SOS Children's village are both lending a helping hand to these countries. If I must say, it's terrible that people are suffering from this disaster and I pray that they will all be able to recover. I hope that everyone, whom survived both of these earthquakes, will be able to recieve medical aide and anyother necessities they will need. I believe that people should not feel that it's unfair that Haiti is reciveing much more help than Chile because Haiti's situation is much more drastic than Chile's. Chile has indeed suffered, but atleast many people came out in one piece, which is not exactly samething you can say about the Haitians. However, I hope that in time all will be well again.
