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.
   

love for music

    Today, there are lots of different types/genres of music; rap, pop, country, etc. Lately, songs that have a catchy beat and good bass are becoming popluar. Songs like "Do It Like That" - Korede Bello and "Tsunami" - DeStorm are some of my favorite songs (with a really catchy beat). They make me feel 100x better and they make me want to get up and dance. I totally recommend you listen to these songs.

dear mr. president,

Dear Mr. Trump,
   
     Some people are either extremely happy or extremely angry about the election. I don't know exactly how I feel but congrats I guess. You have some good ideas but you need to relax with the words coming out of your mouth. You have no respect for women, you stereotype other races, and you mimic people with disabilities. I would not want someone that does those things to lead our country. I really think you should try thinking before you speak and try to think about how other people might react to your words.
     Here in the United States, we go by democracy, that means people have the right to vote. People vote for the candidates that they think will help the country. I hope that you eventually will.

Sincerely,

Kaitlin

happy holidays!

   Spending time with family, overeating, and giving and receiving gifts make the cold months better. Although the cold sucks, cuddling up with millions of blankets, listening to Christmas music, and opening presents, warm up my house.
   Every year, my mom makes me feel a million times better. I love her very much for it. She tries her best to make sure I'm happy and she's really good at it. Every Christmas I wish I had enough money to spoil her, but I don't. I wish I had the money to buy my mom her own private island because it's what she deserves. She works very hard and I think she should have a place all to herself so she can relax and be stress free. Unfortunately, I only have enough money for a couple of scented candles at Bath & Body Works.  

"kaitlin"

    When I hear my name it means that it's time to grab my dad's hand and start dancing. Sometimes it means I have to put down my phone and do something productive. When I'm with my friends and I hear my name it's usually followed by "stop being weird!" and a grin or a look that tells me to be quiet.
    My name comes from both my mom and my dad. My dad's name is Felino and my mom's name is Kathy. So my name turned out to be Kaitlin. I would've turned out to be a Natalie but that didn't really have any special meaning to my mom or dad. When I was younger, I didn't really like the way my name was spelled but now I like how different it is.
