it's complicated : graduation

  The rush to get service hours done, the excitement of camp, the stress of finals, all mean one thing. Graduation. I'm pretty sure everyone has mixed feelings about this. Most of us have been together since kindergarten. It's exciting to get to go to high school but it's sad to have to leave GMS. High school has a lot more freedom but that also means that we might not have classes with our closest friends. I know a lot of people are eager to leave middle school and start a new part of their life but I bet a lot of people will miss teachers and the all the familiar faces at school.

beauty and the beast

  The movie Beauty and The Beast came out almost a month ago and I still haven't watched it. The trailers I've seen look really good and I need to watch it. Everything looks so gorgeous! I used to love the animated 1991 film. All the songs & sound tracks in the movie are unforgettable. Lumiere and Cogsworth were my favorite. Along with Chip, the small teacup. If it's not a good movie, I'll be disappointed.

 

you're welcome

here's a good way to improve your mood.

to my everything

hiya pops. we're supposed to write a tribute post for someone special to us. now, i hope you know that words on this screen is nothing compared to how much i love and miss you.

you are/were a talented, intelligent, generous, strong, energetic, dancing goofball. (plus like a gazillion other adjectives) you could always make me smile brighter than the light in your garage. the light that you used to fix the hundreds of cars you kept parked in our driveway. (momma sold most of them but don't worry we kept the titan) anyways, i wish you were still here to teach me how to use stick shift and how to drift. one of my favorite memories with you was going off-roading in indiana. i remember going up the cliff in the suzuki. that was terrifying but i remember seeing your smile and all your adrenaline. another vivid memory that i have is when you were dancing with me in mexico. i was too shy to go up on stage and dance by myself so you took me to the dance floor and taught me how to slow dance. there are so many memories i have of us dancing. i wish you were here to teach me all your moves. i want to tell you so much, i can't wait to see you again. it's going to be six years this year and it has been way too long since i've heard your voice or smell your axe old spice deodorant. i wish i could've gotten more than eight years with you. i miss you so much. and i hope i can make you proud one day.

much love,

your mini goofball

magical meeting : proud asian

   If I got to spend an afternoon with three famous people, they would be Jessica Universe, Jeyna Ponce, and Liane Valenzuela. These three women aren't as famous as other singers, actors, or movie stars, but they still have impacted thousands of people following them on social media.

   Jessica Universe is a sixteen year old, Instagram star. (She also has a YouTube channel & a blog!) She has a beautiful face and she has an even more beautiful mind. She's kind and smart, just all around talented. She writes, sings, and plays the ukulele. She's from an Asian decent (woohoo!!), Korean, Japanese, and Mongolian. I would really like to meet her.

  Up next is Jeyna Ponce, Jeyna is also sixteen years old. She has more than 70k followers on Instagram and almost 20k subscribers on YouTube. (She also models & has her own clothing line!!) On her Instagram, she shows off her fashion and beauty as well as her skills as a dancer. Jeyna's of Filipino decent (woohoo pt. 2!!) and she inspires me with the way she dresses. She seems chill and fun and I'd really like to be her friend!

   Finally, I would really like to meet Liane Valenzuela. She's a thirty year old Filipina (woohoo pt. 3!!) who's a multi-media star. She can act, sing, dance, and model. She's very talented.You might know her as LianeV on Vine, she has/had almost 5 million followers.

field trip : camp maclean

   One of the best field trips that I've had so far was at Camp MacLean. It was last year, seventh grade, in the fall. Camp MacLean is an overnight trip full of activities like rock climbing, fishing, sports, and outdoor exploration. We got to play capture the flag the night we got there. Boys against girls. We used glow in the dark paint on our faces to tell which team we were on. People hid in the woods trying to figure out where the flags were hidden. Even though we lost, it was a lot of fun. Then we had a campfire, we had to sing a stupid song but it was really funny. I was in a bunk with my friends and we all stayed up talking about how much fun we had. I can't wait to go back to camp this year.

rushing to get this done. movie review : rush hour

   Movies. What's not to like? You get snacks, blankets, the dark, and an hour and a half of moving pictures that make you want to laugh or cry. I love all different types of movies and I love watching them. One of my old favorites is the film "Rush Hour". 
   When kidnappers take Chinese Consul, Han Solon's only daughter, Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), a Hong Kong detective, is trusted to try and get her back safe and sound. Soon a loud-mouthed, work alone, Los Angeles cop, James Carter (Chris Tucker), gets in the way of the case. Although the two can't stand each other and are running out of time, they have to work together to find Solon's abducted daughter. 
    With Lee's fighting skills and Carter's wit, the two help make this action-comedy movie one of the best.
