Hey everyone!!!
My first week of school (actually, it was only 4 days, but...) is finally over!!! I can now take a break -.-
A lot of crazy stuff happened during this week. For example, do you know what this is?

Yup! Packing peanuts!!! I ate one...........Now you're thinking, "What? you ate one!!!! Are you crazy!!!????" DON'T WORRY!!! I did not choke and I am not dead!!! The packing peanut was made of cornstarch. And I ate one during a lab in science class. It tasted a lot like a tasteless Cheeto or rice paper with a harder outer covering.

Well, that's the most crazy thing that happened this week I gotta run, so until next time you guys! ;)

Hey!!!
I'm no twi-hard, but I LOVE the song, "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri! Here's the official music video1

Also, were there always official lyric videos? Because today, I'm finding more and more lyric videos. The first one I found was for Taylor Swift's "Eyes Open". Then, the others just started to appear. I guess they just weren't that popular in the past. Or, because people are singing along to songs and want to know the words, others are making lyric videos online, so the companies (or whatever you call them) are making official ones...eh, who knows?

Later then!

Hey everyone!
Well, today, I went swimming in the morning.
It was really warm because it had both chlorine and salt in it.
While I was swimming, I found a bee in the pool. I tried to save it but unfortunately, all it did was curl up and die :'(

My school finally starts tomorrow! It's too bad that summer is already over. I feel like I didn't really do anything especially memorable this year. :( I've already packed up all of my supplies which really isn't a lot because I still don't know what I need for my individual classes -.-;

Recently, I've been trying out some music to relax dogs (found on Youtube) on my dog. It actually kind of works. The first time I played it for her, she fell asleep on my desk. Right now though she's kind of ignoring it -.-; Here's a link to it if you want to try it out as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdqpYsEL0cA&feature=relmfu (Make sure to wait for some 20 seconds before the music actually starts playing.)

Until next time!

Hiya everyone!
I just went to watch The Odd Life of Timothy Green. Gosh! It was so great! It was sad, yet happy and touching. (Is there a book of it? I'm pretty sure that I've seen it somewhere before, but I may be wrong...Oh well! That point is that it was awesome! >:D)
This movie was predictable at some points though. (*spoiler alert!!! If you haven't watched it yet and want to watch it, don't read anything that I am about to type. Just skip down right after the giant gap...*) For example, I kind of guessed that Timothy wasn't going to be around forever. At one of the first tree scenes, there were a lot of deciduous trees, so I guessed that once Timothy lost his leaves, he would be gone too. Also, the man in charge of the factory and the boss of Mr. Jim Green (forgot his name...) seemed to be the type that would take other people's credit, so I predicted that he would take the Greens' idea of a leaf pen from them.






Well, The Odd Life of Timothy Green was absolutely awesome! I recommend it to everyone! ^.^

Now that I think about it, I don't not like movies very often. i think that I've liked every single movie I've seen except for one: Beverley Hills Chihuahua. All the commercials for it were very misleading. The plot was also a bit childish, so I guess part of the reason why I didn't like it is because it wasn't for my age group. -.- I heard that there's going to be a "Chihuahua 3" soon. but... "why"? Forgot "Chihuahua 3"! I didn't watch "Chihuahua 2" and hated "Chihuahua 1"! Well, whatever....

Until next time guys!

Heyall!!! (I don't know why, I just felt like saying that :\...it seems like I'm making weirder and weirder "hellos"...O.o)

Just now I made a really cool accessory. It's probably for a girl's hair. I'm not really sure yet O_O

I made it by using the technique from the following site: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Silk,-Satin-or-Ribbon-Roses, and with the belt (made of cloth, of course) of a flannel I had.
I think that it looks pretty cool ^.^ What do you think?

All I did was make the rose, tie a double knot right underneath it, and voila! Finished! I guess you could wear this around your forehead or like a headband. Maybe even as necklace. ._.

I draw a lot, and I thought that I would share some of my personal best with you. Just so you know, they're all manga...-.- (From 1st to Last: Mermaid, Ninja, Fairy. Sorry two of them are sideways O^O;)

Hiya all!!!
I don't have a lot of time today, so I'll do a short review on a new manga I found. ~♪♥ (By the way, I have no idea what "~♪♥" means. I think I've seen it somewhere, but I don't really know where...)
The manga is called Bokura no Kiseki, or "Our Miracle", by Kumeta Natsuo. Right now there are only 4 chapters (well, at least on Mangahere.com) but I'm already addicted to it! I can't wait for the next chapter! >.<
It's about this boy who has dreams, and he believes that these dreams are recollections from his past life. In his past life, he was Princess Veronica whose kingdom was in chaos. At a very young age, he told everything about that and got bullied in result. Then, in middle school, he uses magic that Veronica used, proving that he is her reincarnation. But at that moment, he decides to live in the present as himself. (That was all Chapter 0.) In high school, he tries to have a normal life. He confesses to the girl he likes, and they start dating. Then, he discovers that someone else can use the same magic from Veronica's time. That person is a classmate, and during this event, he discovers that his girlfriend is also a character from Veronica's castle. More people appear having to do with the past and having the memories of the past, and things get complicated.....
Well, that was just a short summary of about chapter 0-3. You should try this manga if you'd like! (By the way, it's classified as romance, fantasy, and Josei (manga for girls/women from ages 18-30; I don't really think there is anything inappropriate, at least not yet. There is some blood though).)

See ya next time you guys!!! :D

Hi!!!
During the last couple of days, I went to see Ice Age: Continental Drift. It's was so awesome and funny!
I liked almost everything about it! The plot, the character designs, names, settings, etc. I did find it weird that female teen mammoths have modern hairstyles and that continents move way faster than a fingernail grows and that there were purple kangaroos, messed-up rabbits, and a crazy monkey, but I guess that those were part of the reason why this movie was amazing.
I had two favorite characters throughout everything: Shira (which is probably more expected) and ....GRANNY!!! Granny was so funny throughout the movie and was badass near the end. Shira I liked because, well....she's just one of those characters that most people like.
And Captain Gut, he was like one of the most ideals antagonists. He's twisted, evil, strong, cruel,  and will do anything to get revenge.
Oh! I almost forgot about Scrat! Scrat is always hilarious. I like how the creators make him have his own independent story, but he meets the regular crew in all the movies. (The ending was fuuny too. I won't spoil it. :P)
Finally, the ending credits. I thought it was really creative how they started them off with a song with both  the characters and people voicing them. That was also when I found out that there were three amazing artists from the music industry were a part of this film: Jennifer Lopez, Drake, and Nicki Minaj (Nicki Minaj I actually found out midway, but wasn't sure about the other two. Her voice is easier to recognize). Then, I recognized other people. It's so much better than starting off with the listing credits (like from older movies). I remember faces better than names so it was nice to see something new.

Well, it's late now I have to go sleep. *yawn* See you next time! ;)

hiya everyone!
Just now I was shopping for some clothes at a mall. And that was when I had my most awkward moment in my life. EVER.
I was standing in line waiting to pay for some clothes when right behind me, I hear a couple cooing each other. Then, they start making out. I felt  so awkward and worst of all, I was in line and couldn't move anywhere (or else I'd lose my spot). I had to stare forward knowing a couple was making out right behind me. Have they no shame!? Please do that somewhere else. PLEASE!!!!
Well, that really isn't what I wanted to talk about today. But now, for the main subject!

Today, I want to do a little manga review. I may or may not have said this before, but I LOVE manga!!! Usually, I read shoujo, but sometimes I read shounen. (Shoujo is a genre for girls from ages 10-18 while shounen is a genre for boys from 10-18.) I've read the popular ones, like Bleach, Naruto, and Fairy Tail, while I've also read less popular ones, such as Sengoku Strays. But for now, I'm going to review my most favorite Shoujo manga: Akagami no Shirayukihime.
Akagami no Shirayukihime, or "Red-haired Snow White Princess", is an adventure, (cute) romance shoujo manga written by Akizuki Sorata (I absolutely love all of her work!!! ^.^ ♥ ♪). It's based on the fairy tale of "Snow White", but is also very different. For one thing, the main character, Shirayuki (Snow White), is a very strong female character. She isn't the kind of girl that waits for a prince to save her; she actually makes and effort to save herself first. Also, Shirayuki is a pharmacist with rare, apple-red hair and not a princess.
Basically, Akagami no Shirayukihime, is about a girl, Shirayuki, who is chosen to be a famous and foolish prince's concubine because of her rare red hair. Because she does not want to be ordered around, she runs away from her home kingdom to a neighboring country. While traveling in the woods, she encounters Zen and his two companions, Kiki and Mitsuhide. Then, someone under the foolish prince sends some poisoned apples to the group of four, and Zen eats one becoming sick. Shirayuki agrees to go back to her kingdom in order to get the antidote and...................well, I think I should stop there. I shouldn't spoil too much of my favorite manga. :P
Just go read it!!! It's REALLY good!!!!! (well, if you're a girl you would probably like it more than a guy would...) Here's a link to read Akagami no Shirayukihime online for free (in English):

Enjoy and until next time!

Hello!
Last night, I was thinking about what I should be for Halloween. I know that it's early, but last time, it took me longer than I thought to prepare a costume (Recently, I've been making my own instead of buying them).
I was thinking of being either Marceline from Adventure Time or Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro. But then, after some time of thinking, I decided to be Totoro. Although I do have dark hair, I don't have hair long enough (or close enough) to be Marceline. I think that it's best to completely make yourself look like a character if you're going to pretend to be one (otherwise people won't get it).

The Totoro costume I'm making looks kind of like this. I found this picture on the internet so....










Then, I started thinking about a (possible) costume for next year. I was thinking that I could be Pikachu. I would just have to make a costume like the Totoro or something. Or I could just use a red sharpie to put bite marks by my neck (maybe some make-up to make my skin look paler too) and say that I'm a modern vampire (Wow! That is a great last-minute costume idea!). Eh, I have a long time to decide.

And one more last thing. This is a really cute Totoro-related picture I found that just screamed, "AWWWW!" to me!

Isn't it cute!!! Well, until next time!

Hi everyone!
Recently, I got a new graphics tablet (actually, it was from 2-3 years ago, but it is completely unused).
It was so fun to use it!!! I still don't know how to use it completely, but I'll find out how somehow.   - . -

Also, yesterday, I went to a place with a giant hot air balloon. Unfortunately, I couldn't go on it, because the whole day was already booked and we had come during the knight, but I managed to get pictures!!!






This is a picture of the dawn sky while we were driving over there.

These two are images of a shadow puppet of a bird.
After we found out we couldn't go on the hot air balloon, we went to this little cafe with purple lights.
I suppose that this is a flamingo or something... O.o

Here is the hot air balloon (that I never got to ride on :'( )!
It's actually orange, but the lights make it yellow.
I really like this picture because of the color contrast between the balloon and the people and ground (that are purple from the cafe lights).
....oh my god.........
 I just realized that the sign says "RESTROOMS".....omg that is so embarrassing...in a weird way. O.o

....this is just another picture of the balloon. You can kind of see the line that is attached to it near the bottom. 

Finally, this is my last photo.
While walking back in the parking lot. The lights made our shadows look really cool, so I took a picture. (By the way, I'm the one on the very left.)








Well, basically, I went to a place to ride a hot air balloon. The whole day was already booked, so we couldn't ride it. So, we went to a little cafe with purple lights to make shadow puppets. A little after that, I was able to take a couple pictures of the balloon. Finally, when walking in the parking lot, the lights made cool shadows and I took a picture!

Well, until next time then!

Hiya!!! :D

Today, I want to talk about veganism (with food).

I choose not to be vegan, because of one simple belief that I have. That belief is that animals/organisms eat/consume other animals/organisms. (Now that I think about it, it's not really a belief. It's more like a concept.) Now then, just because I think this way, doesn't mean I have anything against vegetarians. In fact, I have close friends, family, teachers, and role models (Go Ellen!!! >:D ) that are vegan.

Of course, dietary veganism can help the environment and, more obviously, animals. In the US, thousands of animals are kept in disgusting conditions and are slaughtered every day. They overgraze destroying the land. By eating only plants, less animals are grown only to be killed later in their lives.

Then, there are the (very little) disadvantages. Vegans must consume more food/plants that people who eat meat in order to get enough nutrients and vitamins. To be able to feed vegan who eats more plants, more plants must be grown. In farms, chemical fertilizers are being used more and more. These chemicals can and will sink into the land and into the water table, where some people may drink from (it's the place where wells reach down to get water.)

Again, I have absolutely  nothing against any vegans. I believe that anything a person does is their very own choice. Next time then! ^.^
