Happy new year!

     Tomorrow is new years! so exciting! I really hope 2012 is good to me, I made myself a list of goals I would like to achieve in 2012, kinda lame, but whatever. For new years I am going to the beach - Punta Chame - I think its going to be pretty fun, two of my friends are going to be there, so I think it will be pretty cool, there is also going to be a show of fire works!

     On wensday when I was at the gym warming up my back, I did a back walkover ( like a back bridge, but you kick over ) and I landed on my middle finger and hurt it! I didn't cry or anything, it just really hurt, I tried to forget about the pain, thats usually what I do, but then I fell on it again! I couldn't do anything except for jumps!

    Yesterday I went to the clinic to see if it was going to be ok, because it was really really swollen, and it was green and a little purple, I got ex-rays and it wasn't broken, but I still need to take medicine ;( I hate medicine! it always tastes gross .

    I have started the book " The secret life of bee's " so far its very interesting, when I finish the book I will probably  write a review about it!

    I hope everyone has an awesome new years, and I wish everyone the very best!

vacation

       Since Winter break has started I have been trying to enjoy my time with my friends and sleep as much as possible, because I know when school starts again, I will lose all of it! I have not done much during my break, and I don't think I will be doing much! 


        Today is Christmas, so I guess thats exciting, right? Instead of opening up my presents this morning, me and my family opened them last night, for something different. I was actually super excited and happy with what I got! 
The things I got for Christmas  was:
- 2 pairs of shoes ( Toms! )
- Justin Biebers under the mistletoe album
- and cloths!
Nothing too exciting but I am happy with it!
           The funniest thing happened, we got my dog a present ( bones ) and I guess he could smell it, so he ripped up the rapping paper and he cut through the plastic and took out the bone all by himself! I could not believe my dog opened up his own present! it was so cool!


     Another green Christmas, that doesn't actually feel like Christmas at all has passed, just waiting for next year to see how that goes, you know what they say, the third time's a charm... or something like that, maybe it will feel like Christmas next year, all we can do is hope!


     Hope you have a super merry Christmas and a happy new year(: <3

My Life In Quotes

My Life In quotes.

1# confession

               

                Don't you ever feel like just laying at home, not being bothered, have your music blasting without having to think about anything else except the lyrics to the song. Everyday I spend 2 hours on my favorite website called "WeHeartIt.com" That's where I spill all of my deepest secrets into quotes, if you know me then you know that I live by quotes, they are my favorite words and sayings that I never said, its kind of a hobby.

                My top favorite songs at the moment are:

·         Someone like you- by Adele

·         Set Fire to the rain- by Adele

·         All i want for Christmas is you- by Justin Bieber

                As you can tell all of these songs are slow, depressing, and certainly nothing to dance to. I don't know why but i like slow songs, they make me feel like I'm in a movie, out in the rain, the only difference is that I'm not getting swept of my feet by my " Prince Charming" ( like there's even such a thing )

               

Some time's I wish that I could write out my own life, and the way its going to go, but then I remember it wouldn't be any fun, the crazy thing about life is that its all a mystery until you get there. Sometimes I see kids ( like me) trying to grow up  fast, I think that's horrible, trust me I've seen the movies and they teach you pretty valuable lessons sometimes- never try to grow up so fast, because one day you'll look back at your life and wished that you would have valued the time you had at the age. -- yep, that's what the movie's teaches you.

                

 " I'm not telling you life is going to be easy, I'm just telling you its going to be worth it."

Him

Him.

I like him, so what can I do? Its not my fault, no matter how hard I try I just cant seem to get him out of my mind. The worst part is that he doesn't even know I'm alive, I could probably count all of the times he has talked to me, but I wont, because its not like I care or anything.. 


There he stands right in front of me, pretending that he doesn't know that I'm around, like I'm just of piece of gum on the floor, ignored. " Guys are so stupid! " I think in my head, first they talk to you, and then when all of there friends are around its like your nothing, like you have vanished. Why is it that us girls know that guys are idiots but yet we still fall for them, hard. His eyes slightly looked up, he saw me staring. Quickly I turned away, pretending I couldn't care less. Our eyes met each other's and he smiled, i tried to smile too, I didn't want to show that it was actually killing me inside, after a quick smile I turned my head, I was sure one more second of looking at his beautiful eyes I would start crying. " Sometimes I want to know whats going through a boys mind when he is falling for someone." I whisper to myself.


I tried to signal my friend without getting in trouble with the teacher, but of coarse when you need to tell someone something the most, they never see you. I gave up and just sat there, I couldn't even think, so many things were going through my mind, but like always when I analyze things to much I usually end up getting frustrated and give up. I got fed up, I couldn't take it anymore, if he doesn't care about me then why should I ever care about him. I am over him, if he really feels something for me, then he will come out and say it, I'm done with the hints.


Even though my heart will still stop when he says something to me, or smiles at me, at least I know that I tried, and that maybe just maybe one day he will fall for me as hard as I fell for him.

The Catcher In The Rye, relevant for our time?

'Catcher in the Rye.'

The Catcher in the Rye  by D.J Salinger is a coming of age story banned from many countries and schools. The book covers drunkenness, sex, and drugs ( pretty much the whole concept of growing up. )  in many school districts in the United states this book is banns because they feel that it  gives children idea's that they should not have. I totally disagree with the law that bans this fantastic book.

I would read this book because of all of the fun and exciting twirls it has to it. Through the book you will feel like a better reader, because this book in some ways is hard, but if you search down deeper and really try to find the meaning behind some things that Holden ( the main character) has said then you will understand a hundred percent!

The Catcher In The Rye has many loops, and many secret passages in it. Holden says many things that might seem just like crazy words to you, but if you really think about it, and really think about what the meaning behind it could be, then you know that you are truly a reader. This book is a great coming of age book for many children going through the stage of "rebellion" And I hope that people really give this book a chance through all of the crude things that Holden might be saying or thinking.

4. I disagree because this is a coming of age novel, which means that it is meant for kids that are growing up. This book deals with sex, alcohol, drunkenness, drugs, and the people that are against this book are just afraid of there own child ending up like that. In my opinion all children are going to experiment with these things sometime or another, so why try to hide them from the real world?  All you are doing is sheltering them from the inevitable. 

I feel that this novel is kind of a book of our time. Many kids already do these things, and some do worse, reading The Catcher In the Rye is not going to make a child any different, that is what adults are  afraid of, but in reality it is not true. Sheltering a child from the dangers and the excitement of the world will not stop him/her from doing it, if anything it will make the child much more rebellious. This book makes you think about deeper issues and  I think that's what every book should do.

I think that many people might be against this book because of the use of language, and the ideas it may give to young children, also the mocking of religion. Some people think that sheltering young ones will help and save the child from the scary features life has, and the badness in the world.You have to realize once that child is out on there own there mind is not totally molded into the person that has been teaching them all there life, the child will go crazy, and will go to parties all night, because everyone has to try things like that in life, if not you are not living for you, you are living for the person you were taught to be. 

My thoughts on this book may be difficult to comprehend because of all of the negative thoughts i have to say to the people who choose to band this fantastic book, but I 100% recommend this book to anybody who ever has the chance. I agree with this book, and I hope you do too.

Book Review on ' Night '

' Night '




" Night by Elie Wiesel is about a young boy and his journey through the 
holocuast. It is  short memoir that instantly sucks you in and welcomes you to this eye opening, breath taking journey.


Eliezer has to face many problems, many dissapointments, and many losses through his unforgettable journey. Growing up in a concentration camp was horrible for Eliezer, for anyone. Everyday Eliezer lost more faith in god because he did not help him.  Eliezer and his family got taken away when he was a teenager, when they got to the concentration camp they instantly got seperated and he never say his little sister or loving, caring mother ever again. 

I think that Eliezer learned that you have to be strong, and some things in life areso horrible that if you cannot run away from it, you must learn to cope with it in a way that you dont poison your mind.  Elie is still scarred, when he looks in the mirror his eyes are as dead as they were in the holocuast, and once your dead, your always dead, you can never bring back that feeling of " alive "


Life is cruel, and Eliezers life was one of the cruelest. Eliezer saw so many killed,even his own father killed, eliezer lost all innocence the moment he stepped into the concentration camp. 


This is very much like a coming of age novel because Eliezer lost all innocence,he lost all freedom, he lost all of his childhood. He had to act mature, and understand, and be an adult, he had to fight for his life. Eliezer got excited over an extra piece of bread, not a new book or a new toy that he got. Eliezer lost his innocence, and I am sure so did  many other children , if they did not act mature or grown up about some things they usually ended up dead.

Eliezer realized that the world is a horrible, scary place, and that some people are very mean, racist, and when someone has a little bit of power they take it all, and take advantage of the people lower then them. Sometimes when someone is making a plan they do not stop to think how it could affect the people that do not deserve the pain, and the agoney. 


I really enjoyed reading this memoir, it was short but yet it had all of the features a book would have in a longer book, and for that it made it seem like it went on forever, and then when it ended, I wanted to continue reading. I would not change anything about this book at all except the title. I would change the title because I find when I look at the book it does not make me feel the same way I felt when I was acually reading the book, I do not know what I would name the book if I was the author, but I would try to name it something mysteriouse, something that catches your eye and makes you wonder. 


The favorite line that I love was " No prayers were said over his tomb. No candle lit in his memory." This was my favorite quote from the book because its very cruel, and it sounds like they just tottaly forgot about him, and that after he died nobody cared anymore, he was gone, forever. Its not that Eliezer did not love his father, its that he could not afford to, if he did then he would die. 

         Overall I thought that the book was very well written, and I would like to read more of his books. I recommend this book to anybody!
