A New Beginning



So starting a new beginning can sometimes be tough. Especially if your moving to another state. That's what I plan to do for college. But is it too much? Who knows. Starting from scratch sounds hard, but mauybe it isn't. Also, it seems like this other state is much less expensive than where I live right now. It could be much more convenient for me. I am willing to move, even leaving my family and friends behind. It's for my future. Plus, I can always come and visit for the holidays. It doesn't sound bad, but maybe I'm just light thinking things. I still got a whole year to pond on this life changing decisions. I hope people support me on this. I want to achieve my dream.

New Inspirations in Life



There are so many things in life that we don't experience...so that's why I've come up with an idea. I have this journal, and I even named it Lucky. Dorky I know but I think it fits it. I write down whatever I feel. So one day I'm sitting in my room with my stuffed elephant watching a show and an idea pops up. Why don't I write about the goals in life that I want to accomplish...and I made a list :) it's like a bucket list basically..only I like to call it a coffee cup list because..well..I like coffee and it's my morning ritual. rawr.






I currently have 31 things that I want to do in life...But for now, I'll just spill five out of the 31 things.









  1. Write/Publish my own book-I've always wanted to write out my imaginations, create a heroine who falls in love. Well, who knows.



  2. Visit William Shakespear's grave-I respect the old geezer. He wrote one of the most famous tragedy and comedy stories of all time. I need to give him my credit.



  3. Own a husky-Okay. So they take a lot of work...especially for their needs of a certain cold temperature..but they look just like wolves! I want one. :D



  4. Collect as many antique dolls- My side-set dream is to collect as many antique dolls as possible...imagine all the stories they must hold!



  5. Create a perfect hand-made bag-You need super talent to make one...I like a challenge.

Hungry much?


Title: Hungry
Author: Crystal Renn (with Marjorie Ingall)
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Year: 2009
ISBN: 978-1-4391-0123-0

Okey, so I'm taking two english classes which means I have to read two books for the summer. Last time I read Sharp Teeth...and loved it. This time, it's Hungry. Another amazing story.

A model who has a dream to become a top supermodel and would go to any lengths to get there. Literally. So you know how almost all models looks skinny as a toothpick that you could easily break in half? well, this is her story.

Crystal Renn, at age 14-16, lost seventy pounds to be accepted to Vogue magazine. The big industry. She became anorexic, doing rediculous workouts, having abnormal eating habits, and becoming weak to the bone. No seriously. She put her body through so much suffering for years just to be in big photo shoots. But one day, she had an epiphany. She couldn't hurt her body anymore. Today, she is one of the leading plus-size model's in America's modeling industry.

This book makes you as the reader have an epiphany, showing you how to love your own body, and that being skinny isn't everything.

I adored this book to the heart. Now, Crystal Renn is an inspiration to me. The power of a strong woman.

Sharp Teeth


Title: Sharp Teeth
Author: Toby Barlow
Publisher:Harper Collins
Year of Pub: 2008
ISBN:978-0-06-143022-0

Okey. So school's boutta start and I'm suppose to be reading my summer assignment book for English class. You know how the majority of the required books are boring as chicken?

well this one isn't....at all.

Never judge a book's by it's cover. This book taught me this fine lesson. Love werewolves? then this is the choice for your reading heart. I literally spent hours just enjoying each word. It's style of writing is so dramatically different that it's so interesting and fills you with curiousity how it is that the author can write as is.

Personally, I'm a big poetry person. This book is written in poetic form and with such adjectives that it makes you love english grammar. This summer reading has been the only one in which I have most likely enjoyed...so much...i might have a tear in my eye... :')

I would HIGHLY recommend this book to poet lovers and in general to anyone who loves to read a good book filled with mystery, hot pumping romance, and your everyday life of a mighty dog.

Ahh sweet..sweet bliss. <3

Mini Machines in our skins??


Okey. So i'm on facebook and a friend of mine posts up a status on the new government decision for 2017. New identification-microchips for humans? um weird. The government have made a decision that many people in the united states don't have their identification when needed or people stealing another person's identity. Supposedly, this way the government can identify each u.s. citizen without any problems. There are already many new advances in technology now a days in which we only need the touch of a finger. With this, we wouldn't need to be carrying around id's in our wallets and worrying about someone stealing your social security. Okey, that's all good and stuff but really...having a machine under your skin? Anything can go wrong.

Now. Another thing. No matter what religion you are, here is a fact my friend posted. In the Catholic bible, God describes this occurrence as the mark of the beast, known as 666. In the bible, the many occurrences in life are written in there. A future experience.

This is coming from his point of view...kinda makes me have doubts.

What's next for the government's decisions? make us all machine droids like in the anime or Terminator? Let us not depend too much on technology and focus more on nature, because as this is going, we are all going to forget on what's natural and focus on machines.

The Hollow


Title: The Hollow
Author: Jessica Verday
Pub: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing

Ever been fascinated by the Legend of Sleepy Hollow? Then here's an amazing back story to this wonderful legend. I just recently had the chance to read this book and finish it in...ta da! 2 days :) good record if I do say so myself ladies and germs. This book is a wonderful read filled with mystery, romance (yum) and dark secrets lurking within. This story will have you craving for more and more with every chapter. Betrayal is a delicious subject in the story. Love is the best pain one can feel. And a reality check? More like legend-coming-to-real-life-in-a-boring-town. Ha! as if right? or am i telling the truth? hmmmm.
If your a fan of the Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith, this is a story to sink your feelings in.

The sequel to this fascinating book is called The Haunted. I wonder what is to happen? ;)
