Upgrade to Podcast?!

You know, I'm already sick and tired of text posts. I need a new upgrade to either switch to the podcast or not. If the recount goes as surprisingly expected, I could only go on with just the text and nothing more. If we were to keep him the way it is, starting on the weekend of January 20, we'll have the premiere of a new podcast series: The Incendiary of a Bellevue College Kid. It's about the huge difference between objective and subjective perspectives between the elder and a youngster in just a couple voices: president and myself only.

UPDATE: We are officially upgrading to podcast! Thank you guys for reading. It's been over 3 years since the establishment, but we'll miss you if you're liberal. *sniffle* Don't worry, everyone: there's a podcast site coming up.

I've Survived Fall Term At Last!!!

Finally, I am done! This past term was a lot better than spring of last school year because I got enough sleep, walked 30 minutes per day, ate something better, had plenty of fluids and restarted all over again. Luckily, I felt content with what I already had, so there's no need to put more things on hold and whatnot. I officially had a month off from school, which gives me enough time to read the rest right off the bat without any interruptions and I am feeling free to do whatever I wanna do so. 😃

The holidays is officially here, would you like to build a snowman? ⛄

Seasons greetings!

Re-reading Recap Redux #1: Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

I may be starting a new series about the redux of rereads for books that happened before the blog came to the Internet. In the first post, we'll be talking about Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.

My sisters and I have all read the text! My experience is that I already read it in high school, but specifically, it was junior year (2012-13) - just less than a year left to its establishment. Speaking of having to do the redux, there are bitter times, and there are sweet times. Some stuff could be remembered and others may tend to be forgotten. Some are at the same page as yesterday, and some are way ahead in time for the ending. Some ended up with many loose ends so bad, nobody even answers it after a long while. Some could contain a perfect moment to finish things up. Some do not need any sense like nothing happens, and some have an 100% actual plot. Some have full of angst and some are so sane, they like to be honest.
"In the opening pages of Jamie Ford's stunning debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Henry Lee comes upon a crowd gathered outside the Panama Hotel, once the gateway to Seattle's Japantown. It has been boarded up for decades, but now the new owner has made an incredible discovery: the belongings of Japanese families, left when they were rounded up and sent to internment camps during World War II. As Henry looks on, the owner opens a Japanese parasol. 
This simple act takes old Henry Lee back to the 1940s, at the height of the war, when young Henry's world is a jumble of confusion and excitement, and to his father, who is obsessed with the war in China and having Henry grow up American. While 'scholarshipping' at the exclusive Rainier Elementary, where the white kids ignore him, Henry meets Keiko Okabe, a young Japanese American student. Amid the chaos of blackouts, curfews, and FBI raids, Henry and Keiko forge a bond of friendship - and innocent love - that transcends the long-standing prejudices of their Old World ancestors. And after Keiko and her family are swept up in the evacuations to the internment camps, she and Henry are left only with the hope that the war will end, and that their promise to each other will be kept. 
Forty years later, Henry Lee is certain that the parasol belonged to Keiko. In the hotel's dark dusty basement he begins looking for signs of the Okabe family's belongings and for a long-lost object whose value he cannot begin to measure. Now a widower, Henry is still trying to find his voice - words that might explain the actions of his nationalistic father; words that might bridge the gap between him and his modern, Chinese American son; words that might help him confront the choices he made many years ago. 
Set during one of the most conflicted and volatile times in American history, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is an extraordinary story of commitment and enduring hope. In Henry and Keiko, Jamie Ford has created an unforgettable duo whose story teaches us of the power of forgiveness and the human heart."
I remember like it was yesteryear when we should've went to the play that was based on the book, luckily I haven't finished it yet until later in semester one. This book came out one week after Obama swore to office, and yet it happened the day after we buried the first grandpa in the same year (my dad's dad). I know this is one of the classics too recent for our timing, but the story itself took place one generation earlier (it was 1986 if you don't know) and then we went further back in time to "the war years" Henry called it. Although it took place a few years after the main events of The Boys in the Boat at the same city, but this time in another spot where the International District used to be Japantown that's four times the same size as Chinatown before the soldiers kidnapped the Japanese and took them to prison camps. Not only it was a love story, but it's about friendship and a coming-of-age story that is somewhat different than the usual, typical unknown type of awakenings you see in movies, shows and books.

When it comes to reading this book the first time, I already saw inspiration that happened to develop my main OC for a story of my own. As a result, it transformed into a fanfic that was published digitally nearly two years earlier that caused myself to put on permanent hiatus mode in the end. During the redux, I noticed another side which lead me to read Snow Falling on Cedars in order to wrap-up 2016 during my winter break, so I could settle down, spend time with family and just recover myself from so many pages I've read over the past few years of my entire life. Not only did the English class picked out the same book I already read in high school, but I really forced myself to read the whole entire thing again through for 30 pages per week in succession by the usual five sections: quotes, questions for discussions, illustrations, connecting the plot to life and vocabulary. At the end of this book, we ended up going on a field trip to the setting where the book took place for the 11am Wingluke Museum tour. We had Chinese food afterward.

If you read this book, I strongly recommend Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson - more of a love interracial story during the war years except instead of a Chinese, we got a white person.

Stop Questioning Things Like This

Last Sunday evening, my mother was like "Does it contain sex and stuff?" and I'm like "No." I was lying in order to keep everything a secret from happening, but I pretended I was dumb.

"Does it have bad language?"

I again replied no. It was a good thing for her, but for me: it's not! That's censorship which ruined everything including life and drama. I know some of you including me have read Fahrenheit 451 before. I am not a child anymore, I'm over 18 now because I currently read challenged and banned books. I am so mature enough to read whatever I want, for as long as I don't have plenty of conflict with values (anything LGBT-related was a HUGE no-no). I'm a-okay with being straight.

When I was eleven, I read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone once. My mom can't let me read witchcraft. Instead, I found The Chronicles of Narnia to be boring, pointless and stupid. Seven years later, Grace Parsons, a soccer mom and a proud housewife wrote Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles. I know I'm a better writer than Mrs. Parsons, Smeyer and E. L. James combined. Grace's children aren't allowed to read witchcraft, but I wonder how they reacted to the story their mom wrote. I heard that Grace's friends are so thankful for her "little mission". What were they thinking?!

My generation just don't understand outside the comfort zone on social media, but they were brainwashed by a culture that takes its own path. When it comes to edutainment, I mean One Magnificent Morning and all of that because I miss Saturday morning cartoons being aired on television. Edutainment in society standards: let's say they shove their pro-gay theological beliefs down the children's throats. By 2017-18, the kids in the state of Washington grades K-7 will be exposed to anything gender-related and I'd rather homeschool my children until the end of June of their senior year in high school, so they can go to college, Transition Academy, whatever works for them without any prior knowledge before that month of June (it's a deadline focusing on gender-related and sex ed things).

When I was small, there used to be a man and a woman as always, but when I was a teen, I was exposed to the gender-related aspect of society. I saw the rainbow flag too many times and we all missed out on pride parades because of church picnics. I've seen one float, but judgement was coming anyday now. As a kid, I thought homosexuality was rare. Today, it's more common like a trending norm. Sex at work? Definitely not safe.

Have you not understand that in shows, 52% have violence and about 60% have sexual content? I saw a movie where an older man from Britain was a hermaphrodite and a professor.

Some people never learn! To be honest on the censorship with freedom of speech, PABBIS (or Parents Against Bad Books in Schools) is yet another example. They act like morons who attracted national attention in some ways that the ACLU was involved.

Language-wise, in my opinion, classic literature is academic language and modern literature is common-for-everyday language. I felt like I had enough classic-reading for now because they felt too slow when I was in junior high and probably in high school. I was very reluctant at that time when some of my peers were probably too addicted to Twilight and encountered the first intimate scene in their entire lives at Breaking Dawn in 7th grade. I haven't seen the intimacy yet until near the end of sophomore year in high school when I did it with A Lesson Before Dying. At around Forrest Gump, I lost count of it and moved on. My mother said I can't read anything paranormal romantic, but I'm so eager, anxious and nervous enough to read Twilight on my smartphone while listening to Klebkatt, Hushicho and company "read-not". I don't have the money to pay for Patreon despite the fact that I got my account.

To be perfectly fair with my life, I'm very diligent about opening up new worlds and not worrying about the content that made everything all one-dimensional. Otherwise, I was severely affected and always looked down upon later in life (once when I turn 30+ if you were more specific). I would've been 100% more repetitive if I keep reading the Bible over and over again. I want to get out of the "pro-family" comfort zone and move on to discover the vast unknown of something stupid (e.g. birth control, condoms, alcohol, cigarettes) really badly, so I could be the next Prezzi in the future and arrest more complaints for violations of first amendment. That way, everyone should be more happier than ever before, and let's hope to perma-ban PABBIS for good. My future campaign theme is "Let America Read For Free Again!"

EVERYONE, PLEASE STOP QUESTIONING THINGS LIKE THIS AND LET YOURSELVES READ WHATEVER YOU WANT! GIVE YOUR MINDS A CHANCE TO LET IT GROW AND CHOOSE YOUR OWN SIDE!

Understand Title IX Before You Regret

NOTE: This post is dedicated to Self-Advocacy. It was considered to be a final project.

WARNING: This post contains mature content. Reader discretion is advised!

Introduction

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination. It protects all kinds of students - uncomfirmed, male and female. It applies to universities and community colleges who have received financial aid assistance from ED. OCR was interested in evaluating, investigating and resolving complaints of discrimination. Title IX was dedicated to fostering healthy relationships. It could cover most likely to athletics, but not limited to stalking, dating violence, harassment, etc. It was not just the instituitions, but rather, it extends to the K-12, if not, probably the whole life stage group "from elementary to professional".

What is the difference between consent and non-consent?

Consent is permission to get involved in a sexual activity. It must be positively cooperative, so partners must respect the boundaries. In Washington state, you must be 16 years of age or older, yet in America, we waited two more years to do so. Non-consent is without permission, for offenders took consent very loose enough to force the victims to encounter in any activity of sex. The conduct that is short of the voluntary acquiescence to consent does not constitute as the matter of the law.

Confidentiality & Right to Privacy

Confidentiality is the protection of personal information and keeping individual files a secret from others. The right to privacy must be applied to everyday life including having to take breaks in public or private, regardless of the law. In order to stay safe and secured from harm's way during the outing, you don't need to tell anyone about such things as the social security number because it was too personal - keep in secrecy by mind.

Title IX and Disability

Unfortunately, there may be relevant federal civil rights laws other than Title IX because certain people who have disabilities would need additional support and help from the Disability Resource Center in order to deal with the incident about sexual violence. If you're deaf, find an interpreter to seek visual attention. If you have a disability with print, the paper forms were more widely available paperless than ever before, so you could zoom-in font on screen for easy reading.

Response

A coordinator must keep watch over the complaints and reports. He/she could identify the patterns of behavior and problems over the suspect. If the subject was to be informed in complex detail, it would make a lot more sense to advocate the issues being raised with or without question. Any employee is responsible to redress the incidents between the suspect and the victim of sexual violence. Advocacy must be informally required to students who may disclose. The appeal must occur before there are any further threats in the future from the suspect regardless of the history of crime.

The University of Utah Reports...

Over half of the students do not even know where to get support from campus, yet 73% had been drunk before the assault. As of October 29, 1 in 5 women will be raped compared to 1 in 71 men. 5% reported to the entity of an institution. Nearly 12% didn't respond prior to attacks. 18.8% females and 4.7% males who were both undergraduates only reported the incidents.

What to Do for Self-Advocacy in Regards of Title IX?

Why throw in the event for "Take Back the Night"? How about the rape kit? If you don't know what it is, it is a crime investigation kit that was used for collecting and testing samples from the incident that happened. It was forensically proven to look for clues to discover and test both the suspect and the victim. Look at the bright side, in order to participate in supporting Title IX with such knowledge, "Take Back the Night" was an international event that happens every year. It was attended most likely by women, but in recent years, men wanted to take part in the march to end sexual violence, date rape and domestic violence. Tracing back to Germany, Take Back the Night was originally marched for anti-porn. Suddenly, the United Kingdom got involved for the march on women's fear of walking alone in the dark and pretty soon, things went everywhere.

April is the month of sexual assault awareness, yet it coincides with being aware of autism.

Conclusion

Now that you understand how Title IX works, you could check out the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center to "end the silence" for more information. If you need a non-profit organization to participate, a book In Our Backyard by Nita Belles may be able to help.

Discussion of Films That Deserve Something of Great Efforts and Other Things to Announce for the Future



I know there are some I might look forward to, but I presume in the future, there are some Disney Channel Original Movies that deserve either a classic throwback/modern-day refresher or a fanfic remake with a brand-new OC cast, new location, realistic situations of life through whether history or timeless, and there are some slim chances of pre-existing characters from fandoms we all know and love nowadays. Despite all of that, I know one of the authors did the remake script of something more of what I knew and enjoyed the best, come to think of it...


I have a nostalgic feeling I had a flashback to the intro as a tween, I've seen everything after many attempts to do so, and look what I've done to Aleena's family: I watched Frozen back in 2014, I got mesmerized by the images of what I've seen for days, I added her parents (the father was Tristran and the mother was Gloriana) and her younger sister (Elissa relationship-wise) that personally existed for nearly three years to be the family before this as depicted above, I made up a backstory for Generation 2 in which I may or may not tell about and that's fine. But look what happened to her 25 years earlier?!


*gasp* Discount Les Miserables!

Speaking of having to do with song, I will deal with the poem of my own to be written. But at least I'll get back to it later, so I don't want to at least spoil myself or else I might look nonsensical for some reason because my brain does not think of her own song yet and I'm learning myself to write down songs and poetry at a time.

At one question where it says "Poetry: like or dislike" according to Y!A, most of the people in the first page just placed "dislike" in it. I may be the only one who likes poetry, but I have not read the actual thing unless it has 100% song lyrics in it on occasion. (I know it's hard to analyze the lyrics, but the melody contained within it is more powerful on the inside than it did justice to the original writing to compare with our translated meanings!) I've analyzed 2 songs (both are my favorites), but the previous year, we contrasted Springsteen's "The River" with Garth Brooks' "The River". I have nothing else left to say... Music is the most natural skill I've ever contained through life from birth to death, and that's fine. On the more positive note, I am an introvert who made up my inner statehood to this day.

Over this new school year (2016-17), I'm trying to fill up the "500 Writing Prompts" with the words I feel are absolutely up-to-date for publication before I could find 642 remaining prompts for "volume two". The day-by-day basis is probably a huge failure to me, but I'll try again in the meantime in order to arrange things to make it a 365-day book full of my writing which would mean a win-win scenario for money. I wish I could make the next bestseller series for a new generation which may be the inspiration of both sources together to make a semi-autobiographic story of my inner life.

To be honest with the NaNoWriMo stuff, I'm too slow to finish a book which is a pain to do so, due to more ads looking forward to Black Friday and Christmas and the world seems less on what I'm trying to focus exactly on. November is definitely not the best choice for me to do so, I prefer May over any other month just so more people could buy it by June for a graduation gift or any other occasion for the summer. I didn't read any projects that were written in the time of the previous NaNoWriMo contests, so here's what I was supposed to read according to Wikipedia:

  • Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill
  • The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, published by Doubleday
  • Persistence of Memory by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, published by Delacorte Press
  • Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, published by St. Martin's Press (my sister is not that interested)
  • Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, published by Dutton Juvenile
  • The Darwin Elevator by Jason M. Hough, published by Del Rey Books
  • Cinder by Marissa Meyer, published by Square Fish
  • Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy, published by HarperCollins Publishers
  • Assassin’s Heart by Sarah Ahiers, published by HarperCollins Publishers


  • I was supposed to continue writing "Grey Petals" for November 2015, but I was literally on hiatus mode due to all of the events and drama. It got delayed and was indeed an ineligible project to be done. Grey Petals did not count toward the next NaNoWriMo, which sucks bad! :(

    And... look what I was going to read for fun over fall term of this year: it's called Why I Read: The Serious Pleasure of Books by Wendy Lesser. It's going to be a great book about stories contained in a cover, and I really love it a lot! I was hoping to be more responsible one day, and just give it a try! I'll see how it works out okay, so it's been the entire five years (half-decade) since Reading Improvement back in sophomore year in high school. I've read stuff for school (sorta), I enjoyed banned books, I finally had the freedom to do whatever I want because of USA and its first amendment!!! And now, I want to get deeper into the subject about reading for fun because I have to.

    That's it for today, thanks for reading and once again, happy Patriots Day!

    Today is the 15th Anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks!

    I just want to wish you a Happy Patriots Day with the black ribbon and the flag of America, so take a moment of silence and reflect on those who lost their lives.

    Remembering September 11th


    Thank you for your time, and blessings on this special day!

    What Am I Doing for Labor Day Weekend 2016

    Um... I think there's nothing much else to do on the list, but yesterday is lazy for me to deal with, and I ended up in the "Dark Playground" area due to my brain going random on me, I tested out for myself and... the result? I'm in the medium spot! I might have some Sue-ish problems to go off-topic a bit, my brain hurts so bad, I eventually will give it a try to sleep in. My parents lately forced me to wake up earlier than usual, and I can't stand society anymore but to miss out by doing my own thing. This upcoming weekend would turn out to become whole or in part of a bummer, and I don't want that to happen. After this weekend, I'm trying to plan out on making two scarflets for the final two weeks before school is back in session and there should be more and more drama than ever (I hope it's not as big as last term). I'm trying to keep it short, but plain simple. I don't wanna pay the rest of the fine without ever having found and read it first, because I need a huge break from happening and I am already tortured by the neverending top 40 whatnot. (I need some MVSins to point out for me, please!) I know this is getting extremely more worse, but still. I feel like wanting to start the blogger's club already, but I need a startup webpage for more information.

    With the last-minute shoppers for back-to-school stuff, there is no way I could ever buy stuff for move-in day from any random garage sale at a 15-mile radius of what I call home because I'm so low on money for an apartment, I'm saving real big on home economic stuff I exactly made from hats to scarflets to dresses and clothes. The last sale I've ever opened for business is the bazaar sale for 2014: the amount of hats were so small, we could barely fit in with my mom's huge business spot full of jewelry and bookmarks. I sold the first hat (which is branded Lion Brand Homespun colored waterfall), and it's a baby size for just $5. Hours later, no further sales are made and I'm desperate enough to make more. Over the next school year, I've pretty much made more hats for sale and then... I gave another hat away for the shower (again, baby-sized, same brand, but a different color: ocean). Over this past summer, I made a few more hats and I've mistaken crochet for loom knitting, so I got the facts straight by my mom. It turns out actual crochet is extremely hard for me to do than I did loom knitting. I don't want to do so yet, but I need to branch out the loom knitting skills from the past three years. And so, I did. I ended up making the first ever scarf, in which my mom wanted to keep it to myself. In the near future, I will make the first two scarflets of this time: a neutral color of the same type and brand as described from earlier: Shaker and Edwardian. (Although the greyish-black one is not there anymore via Amazon, it's just too bad to look at the selection gadget to check the colors.) Earlier in 2016, I noticed a big jewelry shop in the C Building on campus, and I asked the seller why is she selling it. She replied it's for the living. I want to do that too, but the extra money has to go digital via the Internet for a contribution to whatever I want and for Amazon. I think future projects like animal critters, headbands, spa cloths and coasters to sell on.

    Since I've made a big generosity to donate $70 toward backpacks and supplies last month, I felt very glad in hopes that those who receive from me will succeed later on in life. I kept an extra slip for too long during the trip and the week followed. Both events as informed in the piece of paper have come and gone, and I'm very eager to look forward to my professional upgrade to a backpack: a white one being splattered with black from JanSport.

    To be honest, I've asked some Yahoo! Answers questions today and I asked one. Several people have answered it, in which I'm grateful. I'm totally thankful that someone picked me to win an answer, which is a lot of the support. Thanks guys!

    The books: they're too long of a deal this past week, and I know my "insta-gratuitous monkey" took over my mind too many times, I've recently found more info on more memes. I know procrastination is like a huge problem to me, but I need to get my priorities straightened out from hardest to easiest for the weekend ahead.
    1. keep reading
    2. do the word search puzzles
    3. finish the last remainings of the scarf together
    NOTE: Since the OC entry contest with the deadline of September 27 is cancelled, and the original user gone without the trace, I felt somewhat disappointed with the results. The artwork in mind gets scrapped and I felt sorry for him/her. Now, I'm left with three choices before Sunday morning (which is the middle of the special weekend). I'm trying to know myself that everything is going to be okay, even if things don't go right as intended. My mom keeps forcing me to pay off the fines (which I can't), and my dad keeps telling me to go to the library (and I'm like "No thanks, I'm good"). I'm seriously busy all the time!

    There you have it... that's just my thing. Thanks for reading and have a great 3-day weekend! I know I'll get back to you whenever I write. BYE! :)

    The Week of 8/29-9/4/2016: My Goals So Far

    The original plan:
    1. finish "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman
    2. check my KCLS account for any potential updates
    3. post a new post on my blog
    4. do three artworks
    5. listen to more KING FM while doing word search puzzles
    6. get used to the first scarf ever made by myself
    7. continue "Into Thin Air"
    8. deal with myself
    EXTRA CREDIT: pre-order "Rejected Princesses Vol. 1" from Amazon, order a random pick whether a sequel to The Old Magic (the first ever book review of mine from 3 years earlier is right there to check out below) or something completely new like "Resurrected Light" for example

    REWARD: BuzzFeed Time!

    This week so far is good, but looking back on the last few days of August, I'll see how much I've progressed: I've done the update position-wise to Pan, but not Tomorrowland. Check! I posted a new post on my blog here. Check! I've done two out of three artworks - that means I still have one more remaining to go before Labor Day. I'm wrapping up the first ever scarf, but I wonder if I should sell it for $30 or to keep it. Mom suggested to keep it and I happily accept her offer. When it comes to dealing with myself, physically for today: my mom, my sister Lauren and I went to the bank together and back. That exercise is so intense, I had a blast walking downhill and uphill. Later that evening, my dad and I already signed up for LA fitness together, but the little problem I had is I redid the signature for the agreement, but the second take is not there! Oh well, I had the first try with me to file in the document box. I've done the first 100m after that, and it took me almost 2 minutes to walk at the pace of 1 mph. I hope I'll be there @ 8am for more stuff. Here's the rest of the week (as in the first few days of September) if I still have time for extra credit before the reward after 10am sharp by Sunday.
    1. go to LA Fitness @ 8am by Sept. 1 (tomorrow)
    2. finish the scarf and keep it
    3. do one more artwork left before Labor Day
    4. finish "Stardust"
    5. continue "Into Thin Air"
    6. listen to more KING FM while doing word search puzzles
    Extra credit and reward could be planned as either scheduled or not. Time will tell if thoughts pop up for plans on what could really happen when life doesn't go on.

    I'll get back to the blog by next week! See you later!

    A Message Why I'm Feeling So Affected by Today's Culture and Real-Life Drama

    Yesterday, I got up in a really terrible mood because I just want to sleep in so I could skip service and be done with it, although I haven't done it in a long time since Dad is sick at one time and I just slept in at another time when I wasn't feeling too well. I got so mad, I just forced myself to go to church with the family. I stayed in the van the entire time right before service, went inside and I sat in the sanctuary while I'm just concentrating on the journal rather than what everyone's doing because while they're meditating, I'm studying extremely hard for the sermon and I produced a decent amount of notes, even though the outline already said it. The new church could be coming in September, and I would rather skip every now and then in order to get on with my life, especially family nights on Wednesdays.

    My summer... really boring with all the drama involved, but Internet-wise, I felt like I can't go on to Blogger anymore because I'm addicted to tumblr right now. I seriously can't go to deviantART on my laptop because of the stupid ads that block my way, although I could at least access to it on Wii U at one point or another. I'm becoming more open-minded to how people are doing by far via YouTube: one of them is having a child of the same gender by the same month as I heard of 2 years earlier. Man, this story gets so old quickly! The only difference is back in super senior year, we have more videos compared to now. Is the baby gonna be named after the little prince? Yes. Is there ever gonna be the move again?! Not really, but we'll see. Gaming-wise, I felt addicted to Candy Crush series, but I got the gadget if you want to see updates on how did I progressed through every single level on every episode in every world. Financially, I went from being decently rich to broke to another small wave of being rich to being broke again. My grandmother started aging, and I already started the summer job doing the calculations for stamp pricing with my mom's help. Hours later, we usually got paid. Lately, I haven't eaten within the past weekend because I simply want to lose weight, even while sleeping. I just ate nothing but something that came with fast food stuff. The question is: Will the Frappuccino era come to the end this year? As long as cold weather returns for good, sure thing!

    About the location: we've stayed in one area for too long and that's enough! I've pretty much stayed one night in Union Gap, but it's just a trip. I could go someplace else the weekend after Labor Day for Portland, Oregon. In nearly the past decade by far, I'm very short of flights to vacation destinations due to road trips. That's just the colossal waste of time doing nothing but to chill 24/7!

    Nearly one year ago, I clicked on the link "How Not to Procrastinate" via Canvas and the result: it's Wait But Why. I fell immensely deep in love with the cartoon sketches the writer had created for us to enjoy what's intended to be at least funny on the right spots here and there while he's doing it in more specific detail about the topic. I wish I would have the hangout weekend with the club I'm trying to establish, but it's just life.

    Looking back on my life, I was born in the progressive decade and my early childhood was spent on it most of the time before my sister was born near the beginning of 2000 (I was four when it happened). At the tail end of the 90s, I was diagnosed with autism. In the 2000s, I heard recently about the decade where one said "This has terrible memories!" and another said "It's a meh." I mean come on! The 2000s were my childhood - it has been filled with Radio Disney stuff I grew up with, and that's fine. The con: I was not fully aware of 9/11 until 6th grade when it started to get mentioned on one particular day in middle school, my grandmother died when I was seven, in the midst of the recession, all three of my grandpas died in one year when I was just 13 years old, we moved back from Salem and my formal education was totally screwed up at that time. I'm too awkward to care more of the top 40 after the HSM era because of what I've already heard of is officially wrong and completely pointless. I was brainwashed to society... it's not until we get to the 2010s where I grew out of the top 40 phase and moved on to my taste that has little meaning of this in the past five years, and I started listening to Pandora to make my taste of rock music grow. The more meaningful is life, the better I'm literally more well-written. When 2012 rolled around, I grew out of the stupidness and moved on to just the right amount of real education that now I am starting to catch up with my mathematics with Algebra I in junior year. Thank god for that! YA fiction was the classic staple, but the favorite genre of literature back then, and I enjoyed it to bits from If I Stay to Mad Science Institute to Phantom of the Opera to The Fault in Our Stars to The Outsiders. And then, we came to starting Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Uglies right off the bat over the summer, in succession by The Life of Pi. It took me 3.5 months to go through the whole book of Moby Dick, and man, was it tedious with the huge exposition of whales and everything.

    With excited participation in taking on banned books, I was heavily full-blown with studies of biology and geometry. I never took part in history, but luckily, I enjoyed it in second semester of junior year starting with the USA in the past 100 years after the US government. I knew the specific meaning between democrats and republicans - liberals and conservatives. I was politically a moderate according to the quiz, because it doesn't say anything about it. Others in the same classroom lean toward the conservative mode where they are supposed to be concerned about today's issues in American culture in a serious tone to take this. I was raised on a conservative household, because we are Evangelicals under the witness of God despite the fact that my parents are raised Catholic. I wonder what happened when time flew by.

    Fast forward to 2014, and I enjoyed the world history from the Renaissance to present day as well as dealing with India and China's background at one semester. We even discovered the hidden message behind the Nazis: it's the swatiska and the Aryans. These terms traced way back to the days when the Indians were native to the clay village and endless access to water. The Great Wall of China was the Renaissance wonder in the far east, although it's not that ancient. Enough research on the world history lead me to the excitement to publish fanfiction about the story in which the title was named after the song by All Time Low: Time Bomb.

    By the end of the recession, not long after that, I established a blog in what is known for today. It's the diary of life and death and everything else in between, stories about life real and fictional. There are book reviews, WatchMojo Top 10 lists, movie reviews, show reviews, script reviews, and more.

    I graduated from high school on Friday the 13th of June 2014 at 8:43 P.M., but my freedom on the inside was exposed via the Internet because I came of consent age nationwide. One year and three days later, I finally got out of school. Again, thank heavens! College began a tad late, and I don't know anybody around as much as I did now. The unknown environment is so big, so intense, I might be far off to study what everybody's doing now: some people never learn. Others realized it once when they're ready to get married. Some could be as smart as I do. Others are masters when it comes to being so careful about the things they've done. I enjoyed stuff to improve myself mentally in the past year, and I love it when it happened. The first term was good, but flexible. 2016: it's a year full of drama by far, and I literally can't stand my feelings anymore. All that I did now is the lack of energy from happening, and I just don't feel like getting up in the morning to go to school on time. I blew it enough! It's been seven years and four months, and it was the right time for me to just kick out of the house right now to go someplace elsewhere when I don't even know 100% of anybody.

    'Nuff was said.

    I'm Already Nauseated for Life Itself

    When things change, I'm good. When things get super intense, I'm good. When things went tragic, I'm good. When things are good, I'm good. And when things get boring, I'm good. Don't you understand the meaning of this world? I know I've noticed so many changes over the summer so far in my family, but as a result, I'm feeling the butterflies in the stomach and already eager enough to get a pager phone in order to contain my entire mp3 collection of my music, my way and recordings of myself talking, ranting and "narrating" LPs. It's just the way how life itself works as it has full of ups-and-downs, unexpected twists and surprises. I know I'm reacting to myself being an outsider of the so-overused "everybody's doing it" cliché culture, but I just want to get fit in, so I can't because of money issues that ran through the whole entire family. However, I'm getting sick and tired of medical claims, products that make you "get young again and lose weight instantly", attorney cases, reverse mortgages, life and health insurance commercials (as in "If you're age 50-75, 85 years or younger or 65, why settle down for this?"). We are not officially done yet, guys! I'm not settling things down until I retire, so I could go to a high school reunion and be done with my progress of where I'm at exactly from the moment I was young. That's 50 years from now! But being more specific to the near future, my parents are retiring in less than a decade away from now, and my sisters and I are all starting to work months from now. Most likely, Simone has to start working anytime.

    And before I know it... suddenly, I was very interrupted after a month's worth of procrastination, and my dad told me that I can't go to college anymore unless I need a follow-up (which is why I'm supposed to do, and I'm not feeling like it already because of summer (which was supposed to be 100% fun and very self-explanatory)). Boy, was I very stupid and dumb? So-so. Do I hate my life because I'm soo depressed? Yes. I found stuff to be relaxing, which was nice. Not only did I already missed out on summer school, but I want more summer school and less regular schooling because I want to travel to Sydney for summer schooling during the winter, take one term off, go to summer school @ Bellevue College, take another term off, go back and the cycle goes on over and over. See? It's simple! I'm keeping my school email tab on, so I don't have to keep procrastinating from now until the follow-up needs to jump into conclusions at the last minute checkup before it's too late. If it's too late, I'm gonna be so mad, I'd rather go join the Amish and be vegan than to just check the new phone.

    Nuff said, and GOODBYE FOREVER, DIARY!!! I'm leaving and deactivating for newer responsibilities of the society and reality of life.

    I Know What's Coming Up for the Rest of the Summer of 2016

    Here's what I'm doing on-and-offline:
    • I am going to watch the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in less than an hour live on YouTube.
    • I will watch people row their boats live, because Norway has five competitors compared with ours with 36 more, which is 41.
    • I'm still reading books, even if life seems to get either lost in time to imagination or pretty boringly stressful to read.
    • I'm still writing stories, especially I am able to edit really carefully on what parts go to post.
    • I'm still working on posts, even though I am out of ideas and need help with the inspiration.
    • I am going on a missions trip for the first time ever, even though I can't make it last year because of the bridal shower.
    • I'm looking forward to meeting new people, although I am shy and introverted to people in a new level of socialness, I'm depressed for very long because grief could never be so easy, I have to look at the lights more often.
    • I'm still drawing more artwork of stuff, which is why Stardust is immediately tried to perk up my imagination up for some fanart to do like Tristran's parents and Mr. Bromis. I'm going to work on Victoria's parents, Tristran and Victoria, and others. The OC competition is still going on to me, so I have to keep working until I've completed the tasks as mentally requested by the first day of school.
    • I will work more on the business of my own starting tomorrow because VBS is officially over and I'm so excited to sell more clothing to people by either one December day at the bazaar sale or next year's Friday market, which way either works, it's just how things work.
    Thank you all so much for reading, and I'll see you in the next post of whatever I have to make. BYE! And I almost forgot: please let me know in the comments below if you want.

    Top 5 Facts: The Olympics SUCK... Or Not?

    This video is so hard to change perspectives of my own, I just understood that the Olympic Committee just kept more stadiums than it actually had been responsible for because I've seen too many empty stadiums long gone from earlier while I was just websurfing for fun. I hope this would be interesting to be somewhat eager for what Rio was about to become in just three weeks (the number we'll find out in the video below to click on).







    And now... what next? Pyeongchang for Winter 2018, following by Tokyo for the next four summers and then in succession by Beijing for Winter 2022. I'm afraid not...

    #prayfornice

    I know this is definitely part 2 of praying for France after some terrorist attack at anywhere in that country. Let's hope there should be more moments of silence for the fallen.

    . . .

    Thank you and good day!

    Ten Facts About Me

    Brought to you in part by The Broke and The Bookish. Here's why.

    1. My summer so far is very decent, but lately, life had been lazy enough to get really addicted to Candy Crush series as well as the reason of the urge to enjoy Candy Crush from level to level, having 3 days to wait after a long journey in any land. I know I only have 8 hours and 20 minutes remaining in the Minty Meadow, but it's just what it is.
    2. I am somewhat a fan of watches. Watches tell time, but really? It ticks away life itself before leaving Earth. Don't get me wrong. Time was supposed to fly by. The video is here, and you will see why.


    3. I enjoy the Internet. I love going there every single day since I was a kid, and it's really cool that I get to binge-watch whatever I want from YouTube, but binge-reading eFics via dA, FF.net, and Wattpad? Sure thing!
    4. I've been lately a movie critic, but however, I haven't been active in a really long time since my last editing with the HSM post. So... here is Finding Dory. I know I've seen it a while back at the Majestic Theatre in the Yakima area, but I thought this film is the most innocent thing I've ever seen so far for 2016.
    5. I'm still training myself to be the next Internet sensation, but now I don't have a webcam, camcorder, a professional movie editor, or a digital sound recorder as of July 12, 2016, I wonder if I should be able to scan artwork to post for as long as I stand to the strongest.
    6. I don't have PayPal because the currency is going digital and I don't know what to do but to pay everything through the physical copy of money (as in cash the old-fashioned way).
    7. I barely used Patreon, but I'm more of an Etsy type.
    8. I lived most of my life in the state where the Twilight saga happened most of the time (that's Washington if you haven't know me already).
    9. I'm planning on making the next Twilight saga sensation for Generation Z once when I graduate from Bellevue College. (HINT: All of my years have been combined with imagination.)
    10. I prefer something so famous, that I already missed out on and thought it's underrated.

    But before you go, I want to show you something new to me the past weekend of what I learned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph_cylinder

    That's all we have for today. Tune in next time for my digital diary of life and death!

    We Officially Made It to 2016 50%!

    Hello, guys. What's up? I'm still okay at the Quality Inn by Choice Hotels in Yakima with my dad. I know we stayed for one night, but I just want to remind you of my July TBR list right here. Let me get it real quick... aha! Now, let's get things going!
    • Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
    • Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
    • The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
    • (still more to come if time spares...)
    Really? I know I've seen the movie Finding Dory in the Majestic Theatre, and I think it was the most innocent thing I've ever known at the last minute for the first previous six months of the year, even though the true inspiration sparked my mind when I noticed things and details big and small. Here are some things I've pretty much had in mind:
    1. the orange tag - the number speaks to me that I believe it must've been a fictitious phone number with the (555) thing.
    2. octopuses - they speak to me through the bright colors of every little detail, I think the purple and black one would be a Gen Xer version of Marilyn Swift and the main octopus with turquoise eyes and the ability of the chameleon would've been the pro-new Aristaeus. I heard that they appear very brief in the Generation 2 account of my fanfic.
    3. the detail of eye color - the effects are so sparkly, it reminds me of plush stuffed animals that came from the dollar gift shop.
    4. Piper - awww... the baby seagull is soo cute. I WANNA TOUCH HIM SAFE AND SOUND!!!
    5. the 3 r's - rescue, rehab and release. Here's another way to do the 3 r's - reduce, reuse and recycle.
    I'm feeling proud of myself so far that I am really satisfied with what I have back at home so far. Looking back in the year 2016, my focus is kinda hazy and I'm just dealing with the schedule, but however, I took much more responsibilities toward schooling, but partially the clubs because of the Internet time I spent way too much with. I'm mentally a slacker! Now that things could turn real busy than what I would've done it if it weren't for affecting my life, my summer would've made so much better if I'm more responsible and alert to a busy schedule, and my watcher notifications would've been as long empty as it was from the start. And also, I would've placed everything on hold for future use instead of earlier, but I hate it when it happens when things don't have to go as originally intended. Today's society ruined everything for me since 2012, and now... America is so messed up, I'd rather live the rest of my life in the Amish since the day I'm gonna marry (and give up all the world's desires by the end of the ceremony) and live up until the day I pass 122 years and 164 days! It would've been so much better if I'm gonna miss out on life during the wee hours of every high school reunion, I'm staying in the community and I always will! I'm never going back. I'm just leaving my past behind because 2016 is going to be the worst year of my life by far (and I mean really crazy enough to go mentally insane), and hopefully, the rest of the summer after the appointment and fall quarter would eventually kick up in my mood gear again, and I will be more than just happy to be there in this world, so I can publish more posts for everybody to see. It's more than just the Internet, you know? I'm getting deeper for knowledge and travel while enriching my lifelong learning experience. Today, I've been to Yakama Nation with my dad. I learned more information about how the Yakama Nation society works since the treaty on June 9, 1855 under the 2015-16 catalog book in which you could pick up from the Yakama center next to the campground and pool. And now... collections:
    • Leisure art-wise, I got the cross-stitch booklet from the Yakama gift shop for $3.
    • Book-wise, I'm good for now.
    • Music-wise, I was thinking about having to get my whole entire collection of mp3s for my Amazon library. But I'm guessing CDs, I dunno. We'll see!
    Coming up: I was thinking about Crossing Cultures for my first ever missions weekend, but I'm more responsible to leadership, so I'd directly have to start reading 5 Levels of Leadership right away at anytime from my room for as long as summer is for a limited time only (it was my first ever self-offer I'd ever made up).

    About having to organize stuff around, I'm finding and seeking for what lost treasures I'm chasing after.

    So... that's it for this entry, thank you for reading. Have a #happy4thofjuly weekend!

    5K VIEWS!!!

    Wow, I don't believe it! It means a LOT to me... thanks guys for all of the support. Without you, life would've been a bummer. I know my summer so far is good, but my dad said I was supposed to make plans to have it on display by Monday. I will get my plans straightened out as well... don't worry. There's a lot of book reviews to get it all done for the blog, and it looks like several pages deserve a long makeover full time, so it needs to stay up-to-date and chances are lots of viewers will come to look at the variety of posts I've written out.

    So, I have a bit of the update going on throughout life itself: I started listening to Our Saturday Tradition last week @ KBCS 91.3 FM. It happens on Saturdays from 9am-12pm, so archived playlists are available to listen at anytime right there at: kbcs.fm for more information. While we're checking out groceries at Fred Meyer, I noticed a stray nail paint colored "Sugar Daddy" (that's prep pink) from Essie. That gave me a bright idea as a supposed proud sponsor of my own fandom as Doritos were to Greenyverse. I already bought a color theory wheel today at Michael's also because it would be good for future abstract conceptual projects and I'm making more hats to sell if I have to dream big: having my own business to run. I'm already dreaming of having to get the birthstone afghan booklet for myself once when I could get my crochet skills a bit upward and I want the coloring book to color with the $13 50-color pencil collection. And guess what I added to my TBR list (not on the library system, you get it on the master book review page): I got State of Wonder by the one who brought to you by Bel Canto. Simone had The Color of Water for school over the summer. We had it from Half-Price Books, but I'll add Bel Canto to my library For Later list.

    I'm so eager to watch Walt Before Mickey right now, so kudos!

    The Brexit

    Dear diary,

    I am so sorry to say that the United Kingdom has to unfortunately leave the European Union among the votes of 51.89% Leave to 48.11% Stay. The UK economy had gone down hill, the British leader David Cameron has to resign by October 2016, and other things have changed for a part of me. I am now depressed all day...

    But on the good note, we had welcomed Thea to our extended family on Mom's side. I had enjoyed the Sunset Dinner. Near the end, I felt nauseated and thought I was gonna die from bloating, but thankfully, I threw up a desert in a toilet because I don't want to taste all the sweetness the same and the most innocent way ever again. I'm switching things around a bit to see if I need any smoothies in fast food restaurants as alternative from a fresh perspective for my diet. I'm feeling better now, so that is definitely a very good thing. I'd better learn a lesson: eat until you're at least 80% full. And also lesson learned: don't break the CDs on the floor (even though I already had by accident once).

    I don't believe it that time goes by fast... one week of summer down, and still a plenty of weeks left until college starts again. I need to get a lot of things taken care of before any potential deadlines.

    And so, there you have it! There's the piggy bank collection taken from Microsoft Edge if you could see it from above the whole entire letter. It's almost 11:30 P.M. in the PST (daylight) and I'd better get going for bed. See you later.

    Koolios,
    Nat

    I Don't Believe It! Summer Has Just Begun...

    Yes... school is out for now, and I pretty much am back into full swing with the Internet, but the thing is procrastination really gets in the way of being prolific about stuff to do and I felt hopeless that people keep sending me new notifications on another web every few minutes or so that I don't want to be the next troll, okay? I'm just letting you know that I made up a new webpage to keep myself up-to-date on archived stuff I really did in case one original website shuts down on me. With that being said... let's get into the schedule!

    • go to a waterpark - Wild Waves again changed the logo after a few years' span, so the cost to go there: could be expensive.
    • to love y'all GF - What kind of an answer is this? This isn't real, it's just a statement.
    • make a short story - I know I'm stuck in the middle of my fanfic, but let's be honest that I'm separating deleted scenes from the official ones to make things look nicer to the dA community. The extended edition would come up really soon in the fall. I might try to do my best at continuing on with a short story, so how many words are there? Since the short story was supposed to be under 7,500 words, my story lasted 21,605 words. That's 2.88067 times the amount on what the short story looks like! Other than that, it'll look like a novella when it would've been first published by last summer and life felt a bit rushed to me. It lasted for 74.7 pages worth of how my OC Miyako grew up in America and fell in love with the dark being! I remember Jeff the Killer falling in love with Amy Woods, and they seem to be living together somewhere in the world, but I found out that it's just Amy and Jeff is not real. I'll do Me, Myself and You: The Comic Adaptation whereas I'm trying to work furthermore on my own story as carefully as possible.
    • binge-watch a show on Netflix - me and my family had The Office (US), and I understand that the office building is called "Dunder-Mifflin" where there is endless paper in a paperless world. I remember the two advertisements - one is funny and the other is amazing. I really want to see My Generation (2010) so bad, that I am already eager for the remake of HSM (which turned out to be a successful jukebox thing going on in the making).
    • play chess - I'm playing cheap checkers while saving money for a fancy chess board with all the fancy stuff.
    • have fun and be safe - I know I already had fun and be safe! I am going to Portland, Oregon with my mom.
    • do lots of stuff - I am blogging and doing Internet stuff right now, so shush!
    That is about it for now! Thank you for reading, and have a good summer. Bye!

    The End of the Year As We Know It

    Hello, guys! This is the last post for this school year. To be honest with you guys, I would like to tell you one thing before you go. I'm officially done with this blog for now, so I'm moving on to the new website that some (if not, most) of you don't know what it is. It's called www.problogger.net. It's a site where you have to write a blog post for money. You don't have to go through the AdSense thing I find it difficult to follow. It's free to subscribe at anytime! Did you know that the site was founded by an Australian Gen Xer named Darren Rowse? He had the passion for photography, reading, food, wine and movies. He used to be the church minister and is still active in the local religious community. He had a wife and three children, in which all are sons.

    Finals are coming up, and now it's time for me to go. It's been almost three years since I first joined Blogger. Blogger is not just a site where you post stuff in one sitting, it's a part of Google services and I really want to thank you so much for coming. I'm going to miss you... I love you and I am so proud of all of you. Goodbye. :)

    "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
    - Steve Jobs, founder of Apple

    Ten Reasons I Love This Blog By Far

    1. this literally changed the way I experienced the Internet from a different perspective
    2. many things besides the posts are super out-of-date, but I'm working on it every once in a while (please don't panic if you have OCD, take your time)
    3. I changed the format from the perfect composition studio-themed design to a black-and-white background thanks to critique from Yahoo Answers.
    4. I tried posting recommended stuff to buy online, but remember: this blog in general is non-profit!
    5. I thought most of the posts are all about the books, but I got several bookish blogs taken care of, so you don't have to see my writing for every bit of my reading progress.
    6. I'm interested in Wait But Why.
    7. I am currently working logic-wise for the compare and contrast, but I won't tell you a secret unless it's revealed.
    8. I feel like enjoying the time of my life, but if I'm too stressed out, this should heal myself from all of the IRL drama going on in today's society and culture concededly.
    9. I thought about my IBF, but I need to not mention it because... I'm sorry. I am addicted to the Internet more often.
    10. all the reviewing plus my thoughts of life, and less chapters of my life (I seriously need to get rid of the post numbers in the draft section in order to finish writing for publication)

    Extra:
    11. I posted up music videos and lyrics of my style for entertainment.
    12. To be honest, I will cutback on Internet time to at least a few hours span due to homework because I'm almost done with school in 9 days.
    13. I am so looking forward to posting thirteen devotional posts for each random review of stuff starting on June 23, 2016 with 2A.M. @ Cat's Pajamas.

    Hope you enjoyed this post!

    Goal Check-In for 2016

    Looks like summer's already there. Some of you say you are done with finals and schooling, while others are getting close to the end and I'm like "Dang... two more weeks of nothing but to sit around in the desk for like 50 minutes - 2 hours, depending on classtime." I know I don't want to sit my butt all the time on the Internet at the school library because life on just DeviantArt is not worth it for now at least. But I'll get back to the drawing board by tomorrow for Aries' 120th birthday by Monday, don't worry folks. I'm not cancelling anything that has to deal with my legacy challenge fanfic. Let's see how far I've been up to lately.

    1. continue the fanfics I've started reading from the previous year - Um... I epically fail! I'll just stick around with the SU Remake by julayla sometime this summer, but not the Greenyverse (brought to you by Doritos: "For the bold!"). My sponsorship would potentially bring to you by either Tesla or Aveda, but I'll stroll around the mall. (So... Microsoft is already taken for the lols, no - WRONG!) I heard that one of my online friends is formerly one of the fanfic writers, so I pretty much am okay with her by far. I'm still a fanfic writer, but I don't feel like having to shove Christianity down the world's throat due to the fact that my dad signed me up for the Northwest Christian Writer's Association and that whether I feel like having to write down Where It All Began, I could write with ease from whether comes to mind about my observations and in connection with Genesis.
    2. catch-up and deal with SKY REGAN already! - I'm going back into the swing with watching The Sims Let's Plays - Ultimate Sim Season 1: Sunset Valley and two legacy challenges (One is from which I did not know it's Generation 4 and the other is Disney). It's the month of June, and I'll try again to see if Sky's been up to by far until where we exactly left off and don't remember after a year.
    3. remember the rules and schedule plus assignments - I'm dealing with the responsibilities of school full-time, and I'm so busy, I wonder if I need to start getting paid. I don't wanna wait two years because now is the time to start The Blogger's Club.
    4. finish writing Grey Petals, Freya and Where It All Began - FAIL!!!
    5. know how to keep things up with a new me (the only change to have by the end of 2016 is my weight) - I'm dealing with the resolution right now because my cravings distracted my diet from happening, and I need to get used to it over the summer.
    6. remember to read the Disney Legacy Challenges - I watched one generation and a part from xSimSugar.
    7. get the latest updates from the Ink legacy (probably not happening because the writer's busy with medics or loss of interest? I dunno.) - What happened to the mouse?!
    8. finish the other half of MIL dramatic reading by shadhardblogger - FAIL!!! (but I know the dramatic reading is like the longest pilot episode ever in the whole entire world before I need to start reviewing things for YouTube. (BookTube? Really?!))
    9. Have fun reviewing the HSM movies and remember: be the "goffik" critic! - I know we're at the last minute for all the nonsense to deal with the review, the sequel is currently in progress without my help and life is getting even more hectic with reality, today's society, how people react to something that's affecting their interest and speak for themselves in opinion, and why am I so speechless and socially awkward on how they're feeling about stuff. I know the movies are faster pace-wise than mine, but I'm letting you know that I'm going in depth with what-not to do and all that jazz logic-wise. I'm throwing in several references from Secrets About Guys in the first part at some point like "kindergarten". I'm not ready for Spy Kids yet, but I know it's a children's flick franchise to be honest. The first one is good, the second one is nicely decent, the third is okay, but the fourth... NO! I'm not talking about HSM, I think Spy Kids. Let's hold onto that for later, but for now, let's get on with the sequel aka Summer Break, 2007 to see if I could add more and more detail for critique and pointing out flaws to do the makeover for the remake (probably, about Summer of Love: Next Generation). I like the title name for a sequel to the remake because it's a fun idea to remember - the first summer of love is from 1967, but the next generation... it's several decades later. What did I wish...

    And now, goal change!

    #4. After The Retribution stamps, I'm gonna do more fanart after I'm done with homework. (that's my plan according to the polls I made up on another site)
    #7. Since the author of the Ink legacy didn't come back, why try for the random generator for more ideas for goal #7. I'm kinda stuck in the middle of nowhere, and I don't know what to make of the ending to this school year because I'm trying to deal with my life completely like why go for the final week of clubs, so I could start my very own club due to a year of experience being on the Internet and studying constantly. The little part is I'm pressured to go to Facebook, and I can't help but to just understand it's a waste of time whatsoever. The fines are coming down on me, and I'm stressed but to put things on hiatus and come back for later. I don't know where the other book went, and I'm so ashamed of myself for now that I just want to commit suicide when things get turned in without my usage. And now, things are getting even more worse with me trying to ditch church on Moving On Up Sunday to make room for a new routine in life - sleep in every morning and go to the library every afternoon. That's it! That's the new plan for other half of weekends and beyond. I know I'm gonna end up on a really bad note with me trying to move the dates to further notice on two holds, and I'm postponing stuff for later because I need to be more responsible for fines and try to get the five item limit for now in order to make room for two movies and an audiobook for what happened to Max and the Flock starting at chapter 23 of Maximum Ride Episode IV: The Final Warning. I'm going to be relieved after finals are over hopefully. I'm going insane and more tortured, perhaps mentally haunted for life until the day I could watch Grease sometime (concededly after I'm officially done with Generation 1). There should be no going back at all! I'm moving on to www.problogger.net for money. Goodbye, diary! You'll be missed. In other words, life is crazy and it seems that I'm taking it easy for the progressive way of life (don't worry, I'm birth-control free, smoke-free, drug-free and alcohol-free, but I'm letting you know I'm juggling life itself as the result)

    In conclusion, 2016 by far, is more like the lazy song in my opinion.

    Stuff I Felt Differently About Now That Time Has Passed

    Before I pop up the popcorn manually for the End-of-Year Party by Sunday, let me share you about everything from the past in a different perspective.

    Hannah Montana: I've seen the show Simone grew up with, and I thought it was way back in my tween and junior high years combined. I know I was gonna watch all 98 episodes ever made in order starting in like 2010 and ending in 2011 (that's like nine months), but I heard that some don't even like the show for some reasons because they thought she killed the magic of Walt Disney and some say they could still jam to their songs. I know I'm already brainwashed by the playful cuteness galore for the new Disney, but this is definitely an Old Shamer. And I'm already spoiled by the last five episodes of the show, and went on to what happened to Miley? I know she ended up being downhill and she ended up in the mainstream mass media along with Demi Lovato (Sonny) and Selena Gomez (Alex from Wizards). It's okay. I could still forget about the whole entire thing... let's get crunching with binge-watching all 98 episodes ever made in order, so I can get into stuff more pointless than that like Toddlers and Tiaras and Jersey Shore. After days of binge-watching, I could still get to binge-watch American Idol on Netflix. Hannah is soo yesterday and preppy from the past...

    Kirby World Trek: This is the fanfic I used to get involved in back in middle school, that now I just don't... *sigh* I moved on to a new approach when it comes to fan fiction for the Internet: the legacy challenge from scratch. Remember I did all the chapters in summary form and my sister doodled the drawings to come along with it. We had fun overall, that now I wish we would do it again in Time Bomb SparkNotes summary edition!

    Billboard Websurfing for Wikipedia: It was the pastime of yesterday, that now I'm already scarred for life over hit songs of nowadays, I'm still trying to recover from the mess by having to order stuff I exactly want from Amazon.

    Dubstep and electromusic from the trend: I liked it, even though I didn't hear it for a long time. Gummibar is the yesterday of the fursona, and I outgrew it to see how creepy is he while dancing! I had his music video about the main theme stuck inside my head for now, and I'm remembering him.

    Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network: I heard they're all going downhill and throwing in live-action sitcoms we think were not funny, but stupid and lazy. And what's the worst thing I've ever seen? PPG 2016 reboot (the devolution of the action-pack series I grew up with), Dog with a Blog (remember kids, only the Mobian-like fursonas do blog and so do we), I Didn't Do It (it feels more like the Kidz Bop version of Big Bang Theory), Liv and Maddie (I noticed the hairstyles of both girls and I thought it's more fancy than the ones I've seen in person), Girl Meets World (really? I don't care about this. I'm talking about the previous generation (it's Boy Meets World, you know)), Breadwinners (this is awful), and Sanjay and Craig (same as Breadwinners except... more crazier). I miss SpongeBob already, that now I'm kinda leaning toward the general public, he's so funny that gave me a huge great sense of humor.

    qubo's Ask Me block: After the past year of my experience with qubo as the channel, I had Denver the Last Dinosaur in mind to be placed on my "For Later" list under the local library web, which is the good thing, but the Ask Me short block?! It's a pain to watch! UPDATE: As a result, I had found no evidence in renting the complete series on DVD for free, but all I have to do is to order online at Amazon.

    What happened to AM1250 KKDZ Seattle from the 2000s?! The cessation of operations of KARR (AM) in February 2014 due to the expiration of the lease on their transmitter site also affected KKDZ, as it used the KARR site for night time operations. KKDZ has filed an STA to run on lower power from their separate daytime transmitter site. On August 13, 2014, Disney put KKDZ and twenty-two other Radio Disney stations up for sale, in order to focus more on digital distribution of the Radio Disney network. In May 2015, a deal to sell the station to Universal Media Access (owners of KLOK in San Francisco) for $500,000 was announced.
    On September 17, 2015, the sale of KKDZ was consummated, at which point it officially dropped its Radio Disney affiliation and switched to a South Asian format (featuring Hindi, Punjabi and English language programming), branded as "Desi 1250." I've seen the billboard ads of the new KKDZ on the buses, and I'm avoiding it like the plague. Thank goodness for that, and now... I'm gonna order CDs from Amazon to have the collection of my music, my way in my bedroom.
    Did you know that I still prefer rock to pop? Yes.
    Do you want to open up the club, even though this school year's about to pass? Yes.
    Let's see...
    I hope you enjoyed the blog as well as I did it!!!
    Thank you for reading, have a great summer and I'll see you in the fall!

    I'm Officially Mentally Scarred for Life! (And Do We Really Need Kidz Bop? And Why Stardust?)

    Please note it's just my thoughts:

    If I keep returning materials to the library without ever having to use them if needed, instead of going to kill myself initially, as a result, I'm getting more scarred this past week, if not, for the rest of this school year, as well as having to deal with the pointless original High School Musical merchandise for review, in succession by what should've been epically better known for as The Rapture (1991) concededly with the last minute BC 2015-16 Reading and whatnot. I know I'm officially a depressed freethinker who really tries to get whatever I want for everything and still trying to ditch the church for my personal enrichment of lifelong work, but I constantly failed weekly thanks to my stinkin' parents who were already guardians. I'm not overprotective, okay! I was about to move out from everybody where we don't have to see each other again until the final high school reunion, but I literally am a stay-at-home woman-child. My delays of independence ruined everything! And it looks like I need to be more responsible enough to look back on what I've done wrong that is so easy to hide, it's hard to show. I have regretted for too darn long for a month, and I just want to never recover my true being on what would've been pictured as smiley faces and all the happy-happy joy-joy galore of reducing the stress, now I'm bored and simply do not wish to care, but to avoid the local library website at all costs and it makes no particular sense that I would just rather do nothing for long periods of time but the Internet. And that's fine with me, being alone and permanently tortured by the harsh realities of rules in the house that are no longer based on facts, but rather based on opinions from the previous generations while I was growing up.

    While I was growing up, our household does not need to spend the money on Kidz Bop because we just watched the television commercials of it and we thought, "Hmmm... we're fine, but we'll pass." And so we did saved the money for stuff we exactly want like the first ever gaming console my sisters have: the Nintendo GameCube. Before the GameCube, I used to enjoy PlayStation 1 as the first gaming console. It was so good. And now back to Kidz Bop, I'm so glad I really do not have to spend my childhood listening to the songs that were supposed to be sung by kids for kids, but no... they ruin every song I know and love from Radio Disney, as well as songs that I am officially scarred on for life during middle school and high school. 2000s were great, but the 2010s... not so much. The only redeeming thing I ever get to watch is My Generation (2010 TV Series) because it's as 1 million times great as Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, and it's so serious, nobody's watching it since smartphones are becoming the norm, and I don't have to go to Blockbuster anymore thanks to the local library that still has rentals of physical copies of movies. Here is the first original song from Kidz Bop. No, no... NOT THE SONG "MAKE SOME NOISE!" The real first original song called Kidz Bop World by Brotherton. I like this song because it's probably catchy and good, even though I really don't trust Kidz Bop because I'm getting so jealous that they have to do something more worse than just mainstream music: the High School Musical soundtracks to be "sung by kids for kids". UGH! *facepalms* C'mon... gimme a break. Would you please stop the madness every semi-year? Ever?

    I recently heard that somebody said that there's only three more albums of the butchered versions of songs that was probably creepy and scarred for life in my perspective left, although the date said it's "August 8, 2015", and two albums already came out of Razor & Tie. Now update time... all we need is one more album, and thank God! Kidz Bop is ever going to come to the end or something, but unfortunately, we'll just never know what's gonna happen next. We'll see.

    More announcements: I just found my headphones I got for my 17th birthday, and so does my locket from my 18th birthday. We just cleaned up the bit of the room, so it's like a clear pathway to what's coming up next. I'm hoping for something big and fantasy-like with full of imaginations. Hint: It's Tristian, the one whom my character was named after. Another hint: It takes place in the early days of Victoria's reign. Even another hint: Something magical is happening, although I never ever get the chance to see it or something. Guess what it is? It's Stardust by Neil Gaiman. The book I never had read before, but I really did see the television commercials of it almost a decade ago, never get the chance for research (even though I probably skimmed for like what's the main character's name and when does the story take place) and I heard that people loved the movie more than the book so much because they think it's so magnificent. I think... what is wrong with you, people?! Don't they realize that it's based on the book?! I'll just rather read for myself first before I need to see it. That's all I have to know. And luckily, I'm not a huge updater but I rather took patience and time for myself to rearrange things. Now that things are a tad bit going back to the way it was pretty much used to be as usual before, I'm rather taking my time to recover from the reality of this world by simply having to reread Diary of an Immortal over and over again to get the feeling of wanting to encourage myself to make a YouTube Red movie on what the deviantWORK is based on by KiusLady, and I need to be sure it sticks close to the original source like Peter Jackson did with The Lord of the Rings saga and not get too far off like Miramax did with Ella Enchanted and 20th Century Fox for Percy Jackson. To not get too repetitive for the blog, I just want to go ahead and end it there or something, so you guys, thanks for reading and good day!

    Boys in the Boat: A BC 2015-16 Read! Part 1

    Since I have requested to read The Boys in the Boat for most of this past school year, I just seemed to get too busy for schoolwork and I felt left out over the past week in what I've done extremely wrong. The con is I have leftover money for public library fines for a very long time to owe since 2011, and it's such a huge deal for a decade on the golden age of social media and the really naughty era of drama. Not even a single penny was spent, but thankfully, shorter periods of fine-freeness did not last forever. I know I will be a better patron of the library system, but I need to know how to learn from my mistakes. I'll do it in a really sane matter because I know I think I'm going to survive the preppy mode of the new Disney that killed the classy trait of high school I will be able to point out for, but however, I'm not going to say that because it will hurt my alter ego feelings. So... let's move on!

    Speaking of the BC Reads from last year, I know I heard about the book I Am Malala for the past two years. Because of the reason I missed out on what would've been freshmen year in college, I already missed out on the high school class of 2011 and I really deserve to see them, but no... for they once again went on their own ways in different interpretations on roads for life. WHAT?! I know I've seen a rarity of them that are super seniors in high school until the end of my original senior year. Super senior year went by fast, and I already missed out on the chance to go to the Transition Academy because I'm too smart of the IQ, so look what happened? I've been to the orientation parental meeting, and I already grew out of the little yellow school bus I'm probably too familiar with since age 3 to go anywhere by the city bus system I knew today. I even saw my old friends from junior high graduate, as well as their friends I never got to meet up with, but that's okay. I saw some of my peers go to and from work while I'm either on the way to school or back home. I'm feeling bored with just the schoolwork because I had fun with the Internet and I had a great time, for I'm never too old for sharing stuff with the world.

    For the archived BC Reads for my original senior year in high school or earlier to my first grade year, I thought my sister read two of the eleven books: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Art of Racing in the Rain. And for the upcoming read The Martian by Andy Weir, oh great... this book is way overused as well as the recent movie concededly that I'm forcing myself to read by the observation of demand. I know that sounds personally dramatic to me, but I think The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown is not the first ever true sports account in my experience, The Blind Side was already read and reviewed for the Blind Date event at the high school library as well as the blog overall. Football from the 2000s in the countryside is like a different story, but going canoeing for the 1936 Berlin Olympics?! I've never gone further back in time to see sports at a different perspective like this before. I'll at least have to give it a try once when I'm done with NeuroTribes and 2am @ The Cat's Pajamas. Guys, please be patient while I have to deal with a new plan and I'll be right back.

    I'm Sorry...

    I apologize that I was supposed to be gone for the rest of this term, but I know life doesn't have to go what I exactly want as it is originally intended. I understand why I was supposed to turn-in library materials that was supposed to start and go on, but I've tried. I epically failed because this is taking so slow, and this is getting way too late, that they have to permanently be placed on hiatus so I don't have to be ready yet for more from one source or another. Plans have officially changed... instead of Grease (1978) after the original HSM trilogy in which I deserve to be mentally tortured and point out everything wrong in which should change for the remake fanfic (Gen 3 if you already know the legacy challenge I made up), I'll be able to try for The Rapture (1991) in which gives me more saneness as the recovery from the pro-new Disney prepness about the chronicles of life and death through the perspective of Sharon during the Last Days. Grease is put back to the original reason I'm officially done with Generation 1, Stardust (2007 movie) is back in the original spot after I finish the book by Neil Gaiman for later usage, and Nightmare Before Christmas... I know I finished The Corpse Bride a third of a year ago, but dang... I already had seen it last Halloween and my life goes on forever. The rest needs to go because I'm postponing it until later, but I can't proceed The Final Warning without the audiobook because of the minor issue within the pages. 2am @ Cat's Pajamas needs to begin simultaneously with the Read Not about it and I'm more than likely to proceed. This week is getting really quick, you guys! I hope you guys have an amazing day, and... yeah! Two answers from Yahoo about my emotional mood swings from yesterday told me that the LORD will be able to comfort my feelings, and He already had while I was watching a funny, cheap sequel about George of the Jungle that has nothing to do with the original as one of my sisters said it. And do you know about the lack of logical moment I've waited for too long: the big hand from heaven. And another lack of logic moment I had is the train going up in space in a PBS show Physics. I'm pretty am feeling a LOT better than you think! I am so happy that I'm excited to do a review about NeuroTribes for the Watchdog because I'm almost done in a bit more than or equal to 70 pages of expositioning about my disability, how it was originated from, and why it is so popular, even The Rain Man was premiered. I know I have never seen The Rain Man before in my life, but I've seen Big Bang Theory and I think it sometimes centered around Sheldon.

    Everyone! Keep watching what I'm doing overtime.

    This is the Most Stupidest and the Worst Monday of My Entire Lifetime!!!

    My parents ruined it for me, for all three movies are turned-in last night without any particular warning whatsoever and I really do not get to see these because I'm going to commit suicide if they keep turning in materials until none. I am not aware that I really did not even have to know where they went now, and I just want to cancel the following: Grease, Nightmare Before Christmas and Stardust. I will be mentally tortured for a month by having to survive HSM and place the cancelled items on hold again once when I'm fully recovered and sane. I'm woman-child abused by dad this weekend that I simply do NOT want to grow up and act mature. I just want to be alone for the rest of the term! Guys, stop complaining about my life please. This is the excuse for the sake of drama! Drama, drama, drama... they're everywhere, even on the Internet. People in general need to learn how to be constructively criticized and be respectful to other's opinions. I just want to get in the way of WHAT I EXACTLY WANT LIFE TO BE IN THAT WAY!!! I'm screwing logic up, and I'm already ditching the church endlessly because I just came out as a freethinker and had my hair cut. Now I want to dye it purple, so they won't recognize me. I really do not want to go through the situation like this ever again because this is killing me and my emotions, and yes, life sucks bad. I REALLY HATE MY LIFE!!! #ihatemylife #whatthefudge #everythingscancelled #lifeisnotgoingonasplanned

    I'm Sorry! I'm Busy for Now... Come Back When I'm Done

    The reason why I will be postponing my status updates and everything is because I have library materials to turn in before the deadline for the next 24 days of my life. Otherwise, life would be hopeless and I'll kill myself if I don't get everything done in my very own way, or if the world works out to be like life doesn't get in the way of what I want. Ditch the rules of real-life, Earth! I'll always be very busy 24/7. Please, go away everyone. I don't want to see the face of this world anymore until I'm done, tired, stressed and burned-out from all the hard work I've accomplished by far: movie and book reviews, and all the social media drama going on around me. I know I have way too many notifications when it comes to my usage on any website, but let's be honest. I just want to say thank you readers for nearly three years of my journey, and by the way, God bless. Remember: that infamous symbol of my pride and joy made me very special, and I flippin' love writing very much. Bye!

    Here's a sneak preview of the show I'm gonna watch anytime. Enjoy:
