New Picnik Effects

My personal favorite feature to picnik.com is its effects. It can change the color, the lighting and everything. Recently, "Comic Book" was the new effect celebrating Father's Day, and I comic-ed a lot of photos[: The newest one to celebrate the Fourth of July is called "Red White and Blue" which allows a red and blue tint over the picture. It looks like this: (Picture features two of my friends, and for privacy purposes, their faces have been pixelled out)

It's really cool, and the only Fourth of July feature I can use while not having Premium. I can't wait to apply it to pictures I'm about to take for the Fourth of July! =D

The frames are pretty cool too, although as I'm not a premium member, my options are limited. But this one was blog worthy;)


I'm sure going to miss the comic book effect, but this one is pretty cool too. Can't wait for more new limited effects!!

Thailand Stamp



I've sort of become a ebay person, and theis package was sent WITH A STAMP FROM THAILAND. I love it. But I don't collect stamps, I just think it's really neat and worth sharing. [:

Wings, Layers and Vampires

I'm going to be reading the book The Anatomy of Wings by Karen Foxlee as my summer reading book. I haven't started it yet but it looks good, hence I'm reading it[: It's about a girl named Jenny who has recently experienced the loss of her sister, Beth. It's a typical (more or less) story about a girl setting out to achieve a goal, but then again, aren't all stories just someone trying to achieve something? This is coming from me, who doesn't know how to summarize stories, and has never read the book yet. I'll be updating that soon.

Also, bought gum today, only to find out that there is a new flavor of trident layers. The already existing flavors are Wild Strawberry+Tangy Citrus and Green Apple+Golden Pineapple. The newest flavor is called Cool Mint+Melon Fresco. I like it better than the GA+GP but not as much as I like the WS+TC. I recommend it. It's yummy. It definitely has an overpowering minty flavor was the melon fresco gives it layers of flavorrr=D

And I just saw the Twilight Saga: Eclipse. AH-MAZING! Then again, I'm pretty obsessed with the series anyways. It was action-packed, and I'd recommend it to anyone. I mean, not like it's already anticipated enough, right? But then again, right beforehand I saw a preview for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. That looks really good, too. I plan to read the Narnia series (I only read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as well as Prince Caspian) and sit in a theater the day after Christmas just as excited to see it as I was to see Eclipse today and as I will be excited to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part 1 in NOVEMBER! Movies are fantastic portal to imagination. I will be posting about the books/movies often. Until then, Happy Reading! I've sure got a lot to read...

Popcorn!?

SEEING ECLIPSEE:LARGEEE POPCORNNNN!!!! muahaha haha withh my bestt friendd TAYLOR CULVER and some creepers said hi to herr..anyways we're here an hour earlyyy!!! cannottt waiitt for it to startttt!!! this is going to be a LONGG HOUURRRR!

(my friend's feet, my hands)

Beach Waves

After trying the beach waves I discovered it might look better if I had short blonde hair, and wasn't asian..not offending asians but certain things just don't look the same on me that they do on others. So my hair looked poofy, frizzy, and messy. It hardly looked wavy after brushing it out, and it was just a fail. I don't have a picture=( But just picture a stereotypical "Bed Head" with long black hair, and that's me. So any short blonde headed people who have this hair or have tried it (or who haven't tried it!)...have fun with your pretty hairDx haha[:

Beach Waves

I recently JUST found out the proper term for a certain style of hair is beach waves! Strangely enough, it fascinates me, and I find it so interesting because, well I'm just weird like that.


I'm trying to put my hair into braids and hopefully tomorrow it will come out in beach waves! I'll ket you know!


Emilie de Ravin (according to my source) has natural beach waves. After some research I found out that this look shows off her natural beach waves perfectly. I don't plan to achieve this great of a hair style, but something like it will do! [:

Movie Night! CAUTION CONTAINS SPOILERS;]

justt finished watching Dear John and Remember Me and my personal opinion is that i didnt really like either one..they both had 9/11 in them, they were both about relationships and they both depressed me greatly...someone died in eachhh of themm. neitherr one endedd the way i wouldve thought, and with hollywood standards i wouldve suspected a better ending for both of themm..ahh wellthere are other movies in the worldd: like harry potter! im watching it noww hehe well probably no sleep for a whileeee...

Last Academic Day of Middle School

This is a pretty big deal for me, personally. It's the last time in my entire lifetime that I will ever be a middle school student sitting in a classroom all day throughout all my academic classes! I am so very excited. I don't exactly know what I'm going to wear yet. But it has to be memorable. I guess I'm just like that...I like things to be memorable. I like to look back on things often.


(This photo was edited on http://www.picnik.com)

We went strawberry picking today. It was pretty fun! Well, all the juiciest, ripest, and biggest, reddest strawberries were already being devoured by small insects...VERMINS. Anyways, we picked a bunch, and then made this DELICIOUS dip with like cool whip, sour...something or other? Cream? Maybe...but it was so good. I had at least 20 strawberries all dipped into the mix..mmm...soo tasty...


And what else in life is new? Dance recital this Friday and Saturday, lots of school events that are so highly anticipated by the class you could feel the excitement arising from everyone.

So. Life is good. Nothing is wrong in my life, so don't be thrown off by the sudden sincerty and proper spelling of this post. And now I am desperately exhausted, so good night to all, and to all a good night!! (I think that's how it goes..)

A Series of Unfortunate Events in My Life

Today has literally been a series of unfortunate events. Where to begin?
Oh..I woke up at 3:30 and didn't go back to bed until like 4:30, way to screw up my sleep (then again, i went to bed at 8:30..?)
My friend's BatMitzvah (I'm not Jewish, so mind my spelling!) was held. That was fun. But there were a whole bunch of people who were either older than me, or a year younger than me. And here's the thing: my grade hates the general population of the grade younger than us. Not everyone, there are a few people in that grade I like, but mostly our grade hates them, for many reasons which I probably shouldn't list online. No one really talked to me. And as much as it works for people in movies, you can't easily go up to random people and be like "Hey! How's life!?" in my town. It just doesn't usually work that way.
Oh, I "won" a $5 gift card to Cold Stone Creamery (ice cream place), a place I'm about to go tomorrow, and someone STOLE IT. Yeah, they just [insert adverb of choice here] stole it from my possession. That got me pissed. It's stupid, yes, but I earned it, and they might as well have taken like a ribbon or honor. Yeah, I use big metaphors.
Why am I typing so formally? Oh well. It's a change.
Then I went to a graduation party. It wasn't bad. But the whole time I was getting over my insane obsession to be depressed over stupid things like losing $5 worth of ice cream. But for some reason that I cannot fathom, I cannot talk to people who bore me so intensely as people who cannot relate to everything I want to talk about. I can't talk to the people at this party about how the people at the Bat Mitzvah made me feel. I assume they don't know the people, so they can't relate. It's annoying. So, I can't talk to old people who, seeing as they can't relate to my social life, only talk about "How's school?" "Are you excited for the coming of summer?" "What grade are you in?" etc. etc. etc.
Then on top of all of that, I miss the Disney Channel Premiere of Toy Story which I have never seen in my life so if someone would like to give me like a YouTube channel that illegally shows Toy Stories 1 and 2 on it, then that would brighten my day.

Not to mention my plans for tomorrow to be with people I actually enjoy being with got completely screwed up in many ways. My friend and I wanted to see this movie, and we have been waiting to see it forever! Then my other friend and I have this project in which an opportunity to see this movie is presented, so we decided we could all see the movie AND get a project done; we'd kill two birds with one stone... Anyways, my friend said she couldn't come. So that got screwed up. Then my other friend ALMOST cancelled, but luckily she can make it. But my plans for working on the project tomorrow are pretty messed up altogether as I speak.

Well, that's my life in turmoil. And no one's there to read about it. How thrilling.

OH And on top of all of that amazing news, I'm not meeting Ingrid Michaelson in 6 days. My life just keeps getting better, eh?

Thursday, June 10

i've reached a fork in the road

a fork in the road, a choice. it's not even an important choice, and i dont even have to even consider it for another year at least. the career tec program that is a privelage given to softmores, and juniors and seniors. and they study some things that i really am interested in, and am considering. the choice comes here: do i stay at the high school were i get 3 electives, 3 different activities every day? or do i get one thing that i want to pursue a career in at career tec? and besides, what would i do with it? and which one would i choose??? i have a while to sleep on it, and i'll let you know if i decide...
