Love, what a beautiful thing ...

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”  

(from Daniel’s Story by Carol Matas, page 70)

This is a quote from Daniel's Story, it's about a boy and his life during the Holocaust. His sister tells him this while he's starting to lose hope. Daniel began losing hope but his younger sister reminded him to not stop believing, to always be reminded of the things that he loves so that he can have a motivation for him to live. In my opinion, I believe that love is the key to keeping this universe in place. During the time of the Holocaust many didn't have hope only few did. Those people who did have hope was because of love. Love gave them hope. They would think about their future with their loved ones. They would think about all the things they loved, so that they could have hope and motivate themselves not to give up but instead to try their hardest. 

Love is something powerful, saying these 3 simple words "I love you" to someone is a very important thing. Love is in every single soul even if you might not show it. The love of someone can help you get through difficult times. For example in Daniel's story, Daniel could just stop trying and give up. He could eat all his food. But instead he's motivating himself and giving food to Rosa, who really needs it. He chooses love, which helps him not give up. Love is the key to many great things. 

Dear diary :)

October 6th, 2013

Dear diary, 

It's me again. Today was an amazing day! My sister Maya was born. I wore my favorite outfit to the hospital. My light green long sleeve shirt with my gray leggings. I remember how I felt the second I saw her! I was excited that I had someone new to play with. I would be able to play teacher now with both of my siblings.

 It was my turn to hold her. I held her like my parents had told me to, but then I wasn’t holding her correctly so she began to cry. My parents spoke to me with a very clear strong voice and told me to hold her correctly. I didn’t like that voice so I began to cry. My sister and I were both crying but finally I calmed down and adjusted myself so that I could hold her correctly. From that moment when she stopped crying I knew that I would always be able to make her feel safe.

Hope to write again!

Free Blog :)

Hey guys !!

 So free blog aye! I don’t know what to talk about though  haha, um well this 4 day weekend has been really fun!! I got to see my friends who I haven’t seen in a while. I started watching 90210 it’s a really old show but it’s pretty good. I’m not sure if I should continue watching it. Like I’ve watched most of the really good shows on Netflix already... I need some recommendations! The book I’m currently reading is really good.

  Ooo I’ve been doing some thinking lately about high school and I’m really nervous. I’m nervous about the fact that there’s going to be more homework and pressure. Like  I need to do my best in high school so that I can get into a good college. Wow, time flies! I remember like my first day starting middle school. So nerve racking! Haha I was nervous because I thought that I was going to get lost but turns out it wasn’t that scary. Hopefully that’s how highs school is going to be. Anyways hopefully everything is going to be alright!! Don’t forget to smile !!! :)

Pictures :)

Photo 1: This picture is from when my sister was first born. This was a very special moment for my family because we had a new family member. But unfortunately little did I know that all my stuff was soon to be destroyed by her. Even though my siblings and I love each other, we still end up in silly arguments such as who's our parents number one favorite.



Photo 2 : This a picture of my brother and me. Wow, we were so young and innocent. But now we argue so much. But even though we argue, we still love one another. I know that I can count on my brother for always being there for me no matter what. I will always be there for him. When he's in trouble I'll help get out of it. When he grow older and happens to get himself in girl trouble, I'll give him some advice. Haha. Even though he can be a bit of annoying, haha I still love him with all my heart.

Picture 3 : This is a picture of my amazing parents when they got married. They didn't have any kids to worry about haha. They were stressed free. Anyways my parents have been there for me since day one. I can always count on them no matter what. Even though I tend to get on their nerve, they still love me. 

5 songs :)

The 5 songs that I have some sort of connection to, are....

- Luke Graham - 7 years
I can relate to this song because it makes me think about my life and my future. This song is about Luke Graham's life while he was a young, his present, and then his future. The song really gets me thinking about how I should be living my life to the fullest so I can have an amazing future with many opportunities. I start asking myself, will I be a high school and college graduate in the future? What will I be doing in the future? 

- Journey - Don't Stop Believing 
"Don't stop believin' 
Hold on to that feelin'"
These lyrics connect to me because there are times that I feel like just giving up but instead I don't and I keep on working my hardest. 

- Grace VanderWaal - Moonlight 
"A doll made out of glass
All her friends think
that she's great
But I can see 
through it all that
she's about to break."
I can really connect to this pre-chrous because it shows how like even the most happiest person you know can be secretly struggling. Like you see a person who's constantly happy so you think wow, she or he must never get upset. But secretly they are getting upset and struggling. I feel like when you first get to know me you think that I'm happy and smiling 24/7 but no, that's not true.There are days where I just feel really stressed and I start crying. 

-AJR - Weak
"But I'm weak
and what's wrong with that."
I can relate to this song because I'm weak. I'm the emotionally kind of weak. I'm really emotional and I find it as a very bad weakness. But then when I listened to this song, it made me realize that sure being weak can be a bad thing but then again what's wrong with being weak? I can't put what I want to say but you get the point haha. 

- Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are
"Cause you're amazing just the way you are." 
I really like this lyric because it reminds you that you're amazing and shouldn't change anything about yourself. The song in general reminds you that you're beautiful. Even if you don't think you are, there's always one person telling you that you are.

Story time ! :)

As soon as she walked in, she could feel the tension. There was something in the room that made her feel unsafe. She looks around the big room, searching around for her boyfriend and parents. She spots her boyfriend. They make eye contact.
"Hey, how are you?" said the girl.
"I'm fine, where have you been Aly? We've been looking for you," her boyfriend said.
"Sorry Mike, I lost track of time while I was working. I tried to get here as fast as I could. At least I look nice," said Aly.
"No you don't look nice, you look gorgeous as always," he said with a smile on him face.
"Haha I love the fact that you're so cheesy, hey where are my parents?" asked Aly.
A disappointed face appeared on Mike. He pointed over to where her parents were.
"Wait why are they there with him? No. I can't walk over there Mike. You know I can't. I shouldn't have came." Aly said.
"Aly, you have tell your parents so that they can understand. They have no clue Aly. We don't have to walk over there, ok. Do you want to leave?" asked Mike.
"But it was three years ago, it's not important. Yea we should leave," said Aly.
Aly gives a stare over to where her parents are. She looks at Mike. She notices how Mike is the most amazing person. For understanding. But then out of nowhere Mike is walking towards her parents. She follows him. Mike pulls up his sleeve and punches the guy that Aly's parents were talking too.
"MIKE STOP!!" yelled Aly.
Mike storms out of the door. Leaving the room filled with people in silence. Aly follows him out the door.
"Mike, what is wrong with you?  You were so calm." said Aly.
"I'm sorry.. I just couldn't stand the fact that I hadn't done anything. He has to feel pain. I understand if you don't want to see me anymore." said Mike.
"No...I do want to see you but please don't ever pull a stunt like that ever again." said Aly. Her voice starts to crack up a bit. She began to cry on Mike's shoulder. Mike grabs her and give her a long hug. Her parents find them hugging and asked what's wrong.....
"Aly, you need to tell them... please tell them," begged Mike.
"Ok, mom, dad....." to be continued...

First 2018 blog :)

  Hey, what’s up? Happy New Years too all you guy!!! Hope you spent it well and had a good time!! Woah first blog of 2018. :) So far most of my winter break has been really fun. I’m still here, in California (where I spent most of my winter break.) I went to Disneyland, Peanuts museum, got too milk a cow haha, and tried an In and Out burger !! The burger was really good but their fries weren’t as good. The main reason I came to California was for my grandparents wedding. It was their 50th anniversary. All the siblings came (my mom’s siblings) and that’s 2 brothers and 4 sisters, that came with all their kids. My grandparents got too see all of their grandchildren together. At their wedding party, there was a mechanical bull. I rode it and stayed on pretty long (it was rlly scary.) I’m really happy that I got to spend my winter break with my amazing family. :) I go to meet new aunts, uncles, and cousins. The thing I don’t like about meeting new family is that you don’t know how to greet them, like a handshake, or a hug? You just never know, so you have to go with your instincts haha. I mean that’s how I see it. Anyways ya... ooo I played spoons with my cousins and it was really fun. Other all my winter break was fun. :)
