The Hobbit


The Hobbit, a terrific book, a terrific movie. That is all I can really say. When I first picked up The Hobbit as a fun reading book, I was bored out of my mind. Honestly, the beginnings of the majority great series sometimes bore me out of my mind, but once I get past the first two or three pages of endless introductions and family history, everything just flows right off the page, surrounds me like a magic bubble, and takes me away on incredible adventures with the protagonist. I hear every cry and thought, as well do I see every little thing that is going on around me, despite the endless events occurring at the same time. In this case, I am the invisible shadow of a young hobbit named Bilbo, who is introduced to the dwarves as a little burglar. I feel his worries and anxiety as I trail behind him and my heart jumps ten feet higher than his when he encounters the scheming Gollum.  

I read the book eight months ago, and for eight long months, I have been waiting for it to come out in theaters. Finally, at the eight o' clock showing at Bella Terra last night was I finally able to enjoy myself with a friend and my younger brother as we sat down excitedly and waited for The Hobbit to start. When it started it was amazing. I loved how they used flashbacks to introduce Bilbo's life story. It was obvious to see how Bilbo's personality is reflected through Frodo's. Ahhh, a Lord of the Ring's marathon sounds perfect right now. 



The sound effects were amazing as always. I love the choice of background music, which sounds the same for all four movies, but it calms you down once second and has you jumping up from your seat for more. The costumes are never a disappointment. Every step, every word was acted out perfectly in my eyes. The Hobbit really got me pumped and excited. I loved it so much and you should definitely watch it to feel how I feel! :) There was even this guy whose facebook status said "I never watched any of the Lord of the Rings movies, but after watching The Hobbit, I have to go watch the rest." And I agree! The Hobbit was amazing, go watch it and you'll see! :)

11:11


I am a firm believer in 11:11, whether it be during the afternoon, which is usually just three minutes until the end of my third period class, or just forty-nine minutes before midnight. It's one of the few specific times I look forward to daily in my life besides 2:50pm when I get out of school or 10:00am when church service starts. Once the minute hand reaches the eleventh tick, or the minute goes up and turns eleven, I automatically close my eyes and make a wish, wherever I may be, regardless of what I might be doing or where I might be at the moment.

It's an automatic reflex. 

Most of my wishes do come true, especially the ones during the day, simple ones that just pop into my mind in an instant. They are usually made for me, not to be selfish or anything. The wishes I make at night though, I go into more depth and thought, and usually wish the same thing three or more days in a row. Those wishes are set aside mainly for love ones. 

Sometimes I make a ton of wishes, thinking one after another, fearing that I would forget something important. This isn't often though since I have two chances a day to make a wish or two different ones. Wishes do come true, especially the ones that are intended for positive purposes. Before or after I make a wish, I sometimes think of Snow White singing "I'm wishing (I'm wishing), for the one I love (for the one I love), to find me (to find me), today (today)." No, I do not recall ever wishing for my future prince to come find me, sweep me up into his arms, and carry me away. Maybe when college rolls along. Also, who could ever forget that "the most fantastic, magical things can happen, and it all starts with a wish." as said by Jiminy Cricket.

It doesn't hurt to make a wish, so make one, two, three or more. 11:11 doesn't have to be the time for you, it could be anytime. But in my case, it is just the right time for me. 11:11, make a wish. <3

The Day After the Day The World "Was Suppose to End"

December 22, 2012

We woke up today, didn't we? That's how we're able to read each other's blogs, go out with our friends and family. We woke up. This proves that no one really knows when the world really ends and that they should not take advantage of rumors to do harmful things to others. You would think that if the world was ending, you would live your life to the fullest, with the people you love and the things you enjoy. Maybe go out and patch those broken relationships. Even though the world didn't end, your life, your time spent with your love ones and renewing sore relationships was well worth-it. Many of us chose to do so, while a small number of others chose not.

Today was a beautiful day. I woke up a bit cold, but I was alive, and ready to go out and have some fun. I first went to a surprise birthday party for my friend Danvi and her brother Andi in Anaheim Hills. The house was packed with excited friends and family, over sixty of us, all excited to see their faces when they arrived and saw what was waiting for them inside. The party was great, with delicious tacos, especially the ones with pork and the typical but delicious Asian meal, korean bbq. Mmm. Talk about delicious and a food baby to show off. Well, everyone had one so it wasn't a bid deal. I doubt that anyone had less than six tacos and two pieces of korean bbq, it was just too good.


Next things next, I knocked out on the way back to church. Just fell asleep. Personally, I'm like a baby, when I'm tired, I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, anyplace. Woke up when I arrived but I fell asleep again on a comfortable chair once I got there. When I woke up, I was like a fully charged battery, ready to perform and work until I run low again, which would probably be nine hours later, in this case. At church, the youth group grouped up and we all sang some Christmas songs, had a mini sermon, and ate some subway. I won a starbucks card, haha. Yay for me! :)

Later, after we all put on our elf and santa hats, we drove a few minutes over to a nearby senior home, where we were able to interact with an adorable group of seniors who were just as thrilled and pumped as we were to embrace and spread the Christmas love and cheer. We brought more than enough dessert for anyone to enjoy and had fun play Christmas charades and caroling together as one big cheerful community. There was a senior there named Bill who had some interesting stories to tell, some short ones from serving in World War II and others describing what life in California was like just forty years ago. So much has changed and everything that was once just vast empty land had bloomed into beautiful cities. It was a great experience for me, reaching out to all those seniors within the community, and it really warmed my heart to see them all smiling and laughing throughout the night. 





December 22, 2012 was a day well spent for me. I had a wonderful day filled with laughter and joy, as I walk along the path with love and joy filled in my heart to the beautiful Christmas Day. 

Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.

Whacked up Wednesday

The 2012 Victoria's Secret  fashion show last night. Taylor Lautner resembles a llama. Scream & Shout by Will. I. Am. & Brittany Spears. My Wednesday.


First things first. The Victoria's Secret show last night was amazing! Talk about the most beautiful models strutting their stuff. I absolutely love watching the VS fashions shows, it just gets more creative and crazier each year. The VS models, especially the angels,they're so gorgeous with looks and personality. I love how they show their personalities on the set, making silly faces, sticking out their tongues and their pure laughter that's neither faked nor forced.  Also, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Bruno Mars had incredible performances, especially Rihanna. In my opinion, she probably had the best performance of the three. Justin, it was so funny watching him freak out with the presence of all these beautiful ladies, but hey, who wouldn't? Bruno Mars and his band had a great show. Everything flowed just perfectly to me. The atmosphere was lively, tense, and filled with excitement by the models fan girling over Bieber, the rush that's always there to get the makeup, clothes, and models ready, and the pumped up audience ready to see the long waited annual fashion show. Can't wait till next year! <3


Who would ever get the ridiculous idea to compare Taylor Lautner to a llama? These days people would do anything, haha. But seriously, he doesn't even look like a llama, I just don't see it. All I see is a face of a fierce and famous icon. I do see other celebrity resemblances though. Like:


And


But as of now, I do not see a resemblance between Taylor Lautner. I'm not convinced but bothered by this stupidity.

Music, oh how I love Brittany Spears and Will. I. Am. Will. I. Am. has been amazing this year, first there's his song This is Love and now there's Scream & Shout. Talk about hit after hit, home run after home, for  Will. I. Am. Brittany Spears, I've been listening to her music since I was in kindergarten, a long way back. Her songs are constantly being played around on my Pandora channel, Ipod, and in the restroom when I sing in the shower. These two did a great job, I just love the song. The choreography is thrilling to me as well. Real talent right here. Right now. This song is such a hit. You don't have to be in a club to turn this song up. Love, love, love. <3

Robotic Lives


Robots, they're these mechanical figures made to do some things we can and some things we can't. That's your first thought of robots right? If you look and think deeply for a second, you're almost a robot yourself. Maybe you are. Maybe you aren't. Let's see.

I, myself may be a robot. Walking through the campus, I pass the same people every single day. It gets so boring that I decide to take different routes to get to my next class or just sit a time longer in class and stall.  I walk into the restroom; it is always the same girls doing the same thing, putting on makeup or fixing their hair. Walking into my classes, they're almost always the same everyday, each day is set to do this, this, and this. Wouldn't class be so much more interesting if my teachers changed up their hairdo or switch the seats around so we're looking at each other in a different perspective. At lunch, there are the same club meetings that I go to. I try to switch the food I eat this day and the next, changing things up a bit. But there's this voice telling me that life is more easier if I just get the same food each day, it's too much of a bother to go into this line one day and the other the next.Our daily habits, doing the things we're used to at certain times and on certain days cause it to become like mechanical robots, just programmed to do certain things at certain times.

Are you thinking whether are not you're a robot yet? Perhaps you are, perhaps you aren't. Do something wild for a change, like sky-diving or jumping off a cliff (where you know for sure you won't meet some waiting hidden rocks below). Get out of this robotic life, programmed to eat, work, and sleep, like those three things are the only things you will ever have time for. Incorporate something different into your lives, and surely all that stress or boredom will go away.

My Addiction


It is not a drug nor is it alcohol. It's the neon sour gummy worms or what many of you may know as the Trolli Brite Crawlers. They make me weak and helpless but at the same time they give me the strength I need to a good run or a nice workout. They make me happy and they make me sing.

Neon sour gummy worms and I, we have a long history, a strong friendly ongoing relationship that many others desire and seek. In this relationship, we both benefit, the Trolli company and I. It's simple as this, I buy the bags of Trolli Brite Crawlers to feed my cravings and need, the Trolli company gets the money, I get the power and energy to function at my best, being able to run like the wind and work tirelessly like a robot day after day, and staying awake on those long nights.

I cannot recall how young I was when I was given this wonderful bag of mouth watering delights. My first experience has kept me going all my life. There isn't any other snack in the world that keeps me going like these delicious crawlers. They're bright, they're beautiful, they're breathtaking. One bite leaves a tingle running down my body and turns on the start button in my life, making me ready and awake to sit through endless hours of homework or endless hours of physical activity such as basketball or running around. They calm me down as well when I'm mad at someone, particularly myself when I'm ready to meltdown and lay down in exhaustion and defeat, letting the world and the stress that comes around in a high school like past over and hover around, like a decaying corpse. They have this magic, undiscovered yet searched for by many. Each one of us has our secret addictions. I have chosen to reveal mine, now what about yours?

Trolli Brite Crawlers, my addiction.

I'm Thankful for... (2012)

It's that time of year, Thanksgiving, the holiday that comes right before Christmas, the one where all the family members gather around a table with giant turkey, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, ham, and some other side dishes, and each person lists out what they're thankful for.

A list of what I'm thankful for is endless. I would first start off with how thankful I am to be blessed and part of such a loving family. My grandparents and parents are the role models of my life and they're so encouraging and supportive to me. They've done so much to help me grow up into the girl I am today, pouring out their love into my brother and myself.  My brother is the one I love the most and I couldn't be more thankful to have him in my life. Look, he's like an angel and our relationship is far more better than any other sibling relationship my eyes have seen. My family members, I love them so much! <3

Next, I'm thankful to be a child of God. Having a religious background in my life has really shaped me into being the person I am today. I have such a wonderful Midway family, a second family to me. The people there, my brothers and sisters in Christ, are so supportive and encouraging. They know how to make events memorable and they surely know how to make me laugh and forget about all the stress I have from school.

I'm so thankful that I live in Huntington Beach, where all the fun and entertainment is just a short drive away. There's the beach here, Bella Terra there; I can eat and shop for personal matters and for friends just like that. I love the beautiful weather here and I love my home sweet home. My hometown has provided my family and I with endless fun and laughter and unforgettable experiences.

And along with being thankful for a loving home and community, I'm thankful for all the opportunities that have been opened up for me throughout my life, such as being able to reach out and bond with others, doing little things here and there for the community, and the education I've been receiving from such wonderful and amazing teachers. The list of people and things to be thankful for are endless. Reach out to someone today and have a safe and beautiful Thanksgiving! <3

The Hiking Life


I, Rebecca, am a lover of the outdoors, especially when it involves hiking. Hiking is just amazing. If I were to talk to you about my future plans, then you would come to find that I am an outdoor person, and that there are no two activities I love more running and hiking. I was first introduced to the world of hiking by my parents back when I was about 5 years of age, and from there my love for hiking blossomed incredibly. Although I don't have time to go hiking every single weekend, the free time I find to go hiking makes up for it all, the walk with nature, which also involves some running and skipping since my heart is doing what it loves to do.



When I hike, there are no worries in my mind. I don't think about school or worry about about tomorrow, since my mind is occupied with the beauty of nature and the thrill of running up and down hills no matter how steep, just to get that wonderful feeling that runs through my body. The results after hiking is also amazing too, like a healthy glowing face, the slight feeling of sore legs (which doesn't happen often unless it's a 10 mile hike), and accomplishment and happiness. I hike about three times a year with family and at least six or more times with my second family, the wonderful church friends in my life, my fellow Midwaynians. With one of favorite girls there, we have established the tradition of doing the bow and arrow together during each hike, each time we look better than the previous.



Usually when I hike, I find myself comfortable in a t-shirt/tank top, shorts, and black socks, where I can move freely and more faster than the others around me. I usually do a quick one or two minute stretch before a hike since I don't want to pull a muscle and also because I want to be quick to run away from danger. Towards the middle of the hike is when I usually do my bow and arrow pose, since that is when my legs are fully warmed up and ready for poses. After a nice long hike, I often finish with a granola bar, an orange, and some water, which seriously fills me up for the rest of the day.


One of my most memorable hikes was one that was originally planned to be a nice five mile hike to enjoy nature and just catch up with friends. We started from the top of a hill, and planned on hiking down and back up in a circle. However, the further we got, we began separating since some of us began hiking at faster paces than others. Luckily, we were split in pairs; there were three guys in the front, about five mins ahead of my friend and I, then two girls that were about eight mins behind us, and another three who were six mins behind that group, since one of the girls wasn't feeling well. (We always time each other for fun.) The scariest part of that hike was that the area where we were hiking in was full of rattlesnakes, and we could hear them as we went along our way. My friend and I were terrified since the hills were steep, and we honestly didn't know where to turn since there were so many trials that split into two different directions and the guys ahead of us were too far to hear our cries of  "Where are you?" But luckily, there were footprints left behind, so we followed those. In the end, we all grouped up safely and happily and got some Jamba Juice. :) What a day that was, a five mile hike that turned into a ten mile hike.

If I had three wishes...


While listening to Genie in a Bottle by Cristina Aguilera, I was deep in thought about a wise decision of three wishes. I'm an 11:11 believer, since every night at 11:11, I make a wish, wishing that it'll come true, which most of the time, they do, since not all of them are complicated or seemingly impossible. The 11:11 in the morning, I hardly catch during weekdays since my mind is occupied in school and sometimes I tend to zone out to the robotic voice of my teacher as my mind slips away into reviewing the material on my own. If I had three wishes..

My first wish would to be a successful person in life, an all around, or better than what I am now, a jack of all trades, since I can do many things, but really accomplish nothing big, since I don't feel like I have that one specific talent yet. With this wish come true, I can use my talents to help others in need, including those around me and the people in third world countries. All my life, I've dreamed of going out into the world as a medical missionary or working with a medical team to help the unfortunate people out there receive the medical attention they need. It hurts me to see pain and suffering, but as many will come to see, if you sacrifice a bit of your time to love and care for another, the world around you shifts into one filled with love that blossoms from your heart and wraps around those around you. Along with helping the people outside, I would help some of my family members as well, who I hardly even know since I was born in the US and never really had the chance to visit them. Having the chance to bring them here where I can put some money to take care of them and pour my love out on them would be an amazing experiences for me, since it would be like a dream come true just to have one big loving family all together and united at last.




Second, I would wish for a better economy, since unemployment rates in the Untied States are so high and it saddens me to see a homeless person standing on the streets every now and then, holding their sign and sometimes a baby, to ask for food and money. Since it is so hard to know whether it's a con or someone who's really in need, it is wise to just buy a box of granola bars and water bottles, some you can offer them one or both. I wish to see more jobs being created, and the US economy flourish and prosper.


Third, I wish for cures to all diseases out there. Seeing and hearing everyday of how hard scientists work to research cures for cancer inspires me so much, as well as another strange diseases. A healthy beautiful world is one I dream of daily, since there were some members of mine that have passed away due to cancer or currently diagnosed with cancer, and some of them which I wasn't able to say a proper farewell too. A friend of mine, only eighteen years of age, had recently lost both of her parents to cancer. I honestly pray everyday for the people out there whose family members or they themselves are diagnosed with some rare disease.


My wishes come from my heart, and from what I've seen and heard from my surroundings. A Utopia now may sound impossible, but it's something that many of us dream and wish for. Although to have one may seem nearly impossible, starting off small by helping those around you is taking that single step up the ladder to building a more healthier world. Our dreams, goals, and wishes make a big difference if we all step up to do something about it.

Pet-peeved Thursday


Thursdays, sometimes I enjoy them, sometimes I don't, especially when I have a ton of tests and quizzes in all my classes. Thursday, it turns on my happy alarm, that Friday comes next, and then a productive yet relaxing weekend where I can catch up a bit on sleep and use the free time drawing or running around to maintain my health and body. This Thursday, although there weren't any tests in any of my classes or pop quizzes and the such, was one of the most annoying Thursdays ever.

On the first day of November, I walked through my typical Thursday, half asleep, eyes struggling to stay open in all my classes, everyone I pass by is a blur, otherwise known as the after effects of a Halloween running around as Minnie Mouse, sugar high and volunteering at a Harvest Festival at church. First class, AP English with Mr. Ziebarth, thank God that he moved our essay to Friday, or else I would have much more on the homework load and would have had to pull an all nighter. Next, Spanish with Mr. Gonzalez, all the worksheets which we had to work on orally drove me crazy since I was raising my hand the entire time to volunteer and receive my participation points, but he only picked me twice. I guess that may be better than nothing. But at the same time, there was this specific person in my class who sat nearby, and the way they chewed their gum made them sound as if they were chewing on a rubber tire. Seriously, that class, I strongly dislike my new seat, where I'm stuck between two flirts and a person who chews gum like they're chewing on rubber.  Chew away girlfriend, chew away your future boyfriend, because nobody wants to be near you when you chew so ridiculously.

Then came music theory with Mr. Wampler, one of my chill teachers this year. By the way, the junior life in high school is full of stress and such, so having teachers who understand the mindset of their students is something that I really appreciate. Since it is my third period class, as a school, the third period classes spend the first 15 mins reading, which may be one of the reasons why our CST scores are so high compared to all the other schools in the district. Anyways, in that class, those 15 minutes I hardly spend reading because I have to deal with an immature senior or two in my class who finds it nice to play the piano in such a way that sometimes I feel like blood is going to pour out of my ears. Seriously, music is generally more appreciated when beautiful.

AP Bio with Mrs. Barro was a blur with presentations and barely starting the lecture for the day, however, it is a class I very much enjoy because that is the time when my "I need food" alarm turns on, with my stomach grumbling furiously of how much it needs food throughout the class period. Lunch, is a beautiful period, however, I get annoyed by all the cutters because I'm a hungry girl who needs to feed her stomach some food in order to function properly in the last two class of the day, APUSH and PreCal with Mr. Nelson and Mrs. Axelson, two very good teachers.  However, I do not want to make this blog any longer, so I shall end here. Well, let me get this straight, I love all my teachers this year, because when I think about it, I have the best teachers of the subject they are teaching, whoo!

Pink for October


As many of you may know, October is the month where we try to raise breast cancer awareness. Did you know that about every 1 in 8 women develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime in the US? Statistics say that 226,870 women are currently diagnosed with breast cancer as of 2012, and sadly, 39,510 might die from it. Men are at risk too, although their risks are lower with only 1 in a 1,000. Show your way of raising breast cancer awareness by dedicating a picture, a project, whatever it may be to raising breast cancer awareness. Some examples may be a school dress up day where everyone wears pink, dedicating a blog or picture on a social website, or working with the pink ribbon club at your school.  It means a lot of those who know a person who's diagnosed with breast cancer. For more information, please check out this link: http://www.nbcam.org/

October 2012, Go Pink for October! Raising Breast Cancer Awareness

Strawberries: The Loveliest Fruit






When you think of strawberries, you think red, and when you think red, you think of things that are commonly associated with red, like love, sexy, and sweet. When I think of strawberries, I think of heaven. To me, strawberries are the best fruit ever. I love strawberry everything. Strawberry ice cream, strawberry yogurt, strawberry smoothies and boba, strawberry candy flavors, chocolate-covered strawberries - this list just goes on and on. Not to mention how healthy strawberries are for you.

I mean just look:

Sexy

Last Sunday, I tried the strawberry donuts from the Donuttery, and boy was I a happy camper. Once I tasted that mouth-watering and extremely pleasing strawberry donut, I wanted more and more and more, and I would have eaten more and more and more if my mind didn't give me a friendly reminder that I wasn't suppose to be eating too much due to my lovely weight. So, unfortunately, half a strawberry donut a week.  By the way, if you've never tried the strawberry donut, you should definitely try it cause you're missing out!


  

Strawberries, oh strawberries, the fruit that I love so much. Thank you God for creating all the lovely fruits in the world, especially the strawberries. I can't imagine my fruity life without strawberries. It's a nightmare. Strawberries are just so yummy and amazing. Like, you could even go all cute and creative with them: 

Strawberries, they're the fruits of my life. <3

Forever Young


                 Forever young, I want to be forever young. <3



The picture just says it all
My friend and I, we know how to ball
Rocking about on the little playgrounds
Our laughter and giggles mix with other happy sounds
We young, we chill, we free
Having a good time as every eye can see
<3

The Little Angel


When someone asks me about my relationship with my younger brother, they get so surprised when they hear what I have to say. My first blog here is dedicated to my younger brother, who means the world to me. My sweet little angel, the only person in this world that brings a smile to my face every second of the day. Although we're seven years apart, we have the strongest bond, the greatest friendship between two siblings ever. I'm so blessed to have such an angel for a brother.

I have many memorable stories that I love sharing about my little brother. I will only share two here, and there will be so much more to share every now and then. The first story I would like to share is one that I've shared to my English class last year for my best/worst speech, in which my topic was about the "Best Sibling in the World." One day I was sitting about, doing my homework, when my brother came in my room and asked me if he could borrow my box of colored pencils. Of course my respond was a "yes" so he took it and ran off. About a hour later he came back and set the box of colored pencils down on my desk with a cute little laugh and walked out of the room. Curious, I opened the box to find all my colored pencils, every single one of them, 300+, all perfectly sharpened.

My second story is about how caring he is at all times. He's always making sure that I'm eating enough and when I'm ever sick, he's always ready and willing to take care of me. For instance, when he gets a cookie or any snacks, he always comes running to me, ready to share, smiling and yelling "Sister, sister, I got something for you!" When he gets a giant cookie, he usually breaks it in half, and gives me the bigger half. It's so cute how he does it. And it's even funnier when his friends try to copy him and treat their sisters the same way, who happen to be my best friends. My brother is such an amazing example to other kids around him. When I'm sick, he comes in with freshly squeezed lemonade or soup in hand, ready to take care of me and watch over me. Our bond is strong, powerful, and everlasting, through thick and thin, we will run up the mountain, giving each other a hand through the slippery rocks and obstacles along the way, and together we shall reach success and accomplish all of our goals.
