Autism Awareness Day 2016 Post

Hey, guys! I do have some good and not-so-good news I've just heard about over spring break:
  • The month of April is back for more of my thing, so we had a walk-a-thon for free at my very own hometown of Kirkland today that came with resource booths and the fun fair.
  • Last night, I had a great time on an evening out for pizza (yum!), salad and board games.
  • Hancock Fabrics will be closing in the month of June most likely near my home because of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and not only is it going out of business, but it happens within the other 184 stores nationwide depending on how much time is it going to stay open.
  • Last week, 3 people got baptized, but 10 children are accepted by the LORD.
  • I already had a surprise going through five stations and I realized that I need to know how to stay awake, watch and pray so I won't procrastinate ever again.
  • I picked up some of the trash in my room to make more space.
  • I paid $40.50 for the online test, but the grant already covered the tuition for this term.
  • I need to think about the summer program, but you'll never know what's gonna happen to my plan quite yet.
  • I had found my journal focusing on the upcoming book Where It All Began. And now, I'll resume whether I have to think about it.
  • Sometimes, I have a lazy time, for I definitely slept in after staying up late at night. But the only productive thing for my mental health is I had read the first 22 chapters of Maximum Ride Episode IV: The Final Warning before I had noticed a hole in the beginning of chapter 23. I stopped right there, so I can't go back into it unless I have all of my library fines paid and the audiobook version needs to get checked out. So, from Yahoo! Answers by far, the results are in: still nothing. Anyways, Autism Awareness Month is officially here for the umpteenth time in a row and I will be able to know more about the truth of the origin of my disability and how it became so popular with the book Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity by Steve Silberman.
Thank you for reading the special post and have a good day!

Another Top 10 Misleading Movie Trailers

Here's another one! Enjoy!



Top 10 Misleading Movie Trailers

This is a list that tricks us into something completely different at a later time. Enjoy!






The American Idol Farewell Post

The creator Simon Fueller said that it's not the end of the road, but it could be reincarnated for a new generation - come to think of it.

Me: Dream on, it's not gonna last. Reality television competition for talent is a fad, for I know American Idol did a really, really, really good job of having to be the #1 thing in the TV charts for most of the 2000s, even though the audiences leave for football, I had not only won the hearts of who and where are they from, but some of them went away right after Idol, and others are already famous even before I was there for Radio Disney and all of the kiddie whatnot with pop culture galore. Although I really did grew up within the millennials, some of you went within yours and some of you is in between. And is it time already? I know some of you including me is getting jealous of a new generation, but some of you can make something fresh for them as if you think that's inspiring to create like say, how about the HSM remake for a deviantART fanfic that focuses on my generation on the other side of my native place at this time, but not limited to East High: Home of the Wildcats? (HINT: It's the same ol' school where Miyako attended in the days of Grease, but over 40 years later.) Or probably, you're inspired by Gravity Falls, Fish Hooks, Steven Universe and MLP: Friendship is Magic for an original webcomic. Maybe it's about something completely original from the upcoming public domain works starting in 2019. Looks like a wake-up call, believe me. I know I'm not ready yet to move on from fanfiction to pro-literature (original fiction for example), but I'm all ready for a new, new generation to pop out once when the two oldest people in the world passes on and I have an emotional feeling that we had grown up so fast, it feels like we had known them for a long time since we and/or they are first met for the first time in any stage whether it's either peer-related, a kid around a young adult, or it could be a general-aged adult over a high school kid. *teary-face*

Y'all know times have changed, right? When I was born, the flipphones, faxes, landline phones, printers are such good times and very perfect for an office setting. When I was growing up, I had my eyes attached to desktop computers as things evolve from start to finish - everybody had their cellphone, but not anyone else in this world, the iPhone popped up when I promoted from grade school to middle school, the Great Recession and the afterward had affected our family - we moved back, my three grandfathers died at a very unlucky age of 13, we tried to get the job, but for Mom, it did not work, so she was a stay-at-home parent. Dad had been a children's pastor at Bellevue Foursquare Church for nearly seven years, and I think we're hitting the longest record of where we worship - Eastside is where I've been for the first seven years and four and a half months of my life. During my super senior year in high school, my mom constantly tried to look for a job, and I think she had two part-time jobs in the end of 2015. At the end of 2009 (right in early November) and for the first half of the 2010s (up until the day after the Super Bowl 49), we had Comcast (now Xfinity) in which some people despise and it literally stayed within the level of our income. We had suffered long enough that we already paid $100 per month on cable, and it's the same ol' commercials that keeps popping up over and over again. And then, there's Verizon. We had paid $200 per month. Thankfully, we got rid of cable and switched it to just free digital air to save money, but we had a little more of our income, but not too much. Half of us had switched to Consumer Cellular, but today 60% is on CC and 40% of us is still on Verizon. For the most part on the half of the 2010s, we had something extra in our household - Dakota was there. But today, she's not here and it's been six months since she passed on from an unexpected brain seizure within a day. Phones have evolved as a rehash of the original iPhone and inserted an inner-face camera for selfies. Social media within hashtags had already been part of our daily lives, and I already had a blog since 2013! Yup, look at how things changed.

And now that American Idol is coming to an end, I just want to say, "Thank you for everything! It means a lot to me, I would've been there for season 14, but it's too late: I had school and stuff to do." Now that I tell you everything, places come and go. Businesses go out and went into the trend. Buildings keep changing over and over again from time to time. All things great and small - some last for a long time and some just don't. Two viruses popped up from early to recent in my lifetime - Ebola and Zika. In the 21st century, the awareness for my disability has grown in popularity and I'm very grateful that 1 in 68 people have autism. The most common thing is through boys, but my mom had ever seen the first autistic girl in her life - this is me! I will be the first ever autistic girl to write fanfiction about my Sonic franchise for deviantART, and that will be The Shadow Saga and its prequel Time Bomb. Did you know Chris-chan had his infamous Sonic franchise on so many webpages to boost the trend? It's Sonichu! He's a popular troll, and I'm literally just nothing but deviantART, Blogger and Wattpad. Anyways, a few watchers for deviantART within the username shadhardblogger, thank you for subscribing to me. A few of my friends at that website, thank you "soo" much for the deviations via the notifications. Yahoo! Answers had so many people to ask and answer, opinions matter and I am affected by knowing that certain things shoved down my throat, and I like what they don't like other's opinions, what they comment, and what they relate to the same opinion. A few, if not, probably hundreds answered my questions and I just wanna say "Thank you for my help! You guys totally appreciate my work, a few of you had said my name, and a rare amount of you are like trolls (e.g. the Yogi Bear orientation with my "goffik" ULF straightness) and so far: two votes for Mother-Air's Apprentice. Guys, you need just a bit more than that."

Since next week will be the last hit of my entire lifetime, I knew I really did looked back on my childhood in recent day and I had the songs stuck in my head for me to add into my upcoming soundtrack. Are you ready to see the cover? On a count of three, we look. Ready? 1... 2... 3!

I think to be honest is a rough draft cover. Like it's neon all around with a guitar in a black background. I'm thinking of the final draft cover.
I can't wait to see you when you definitely look forward to my remake arrangement. American Idol will be dearly missed.

It Looks Like It's Spring Cleaning Season and I Was About to Work Hard on the Book Haul Review

So, come to think about it. I highlighted all of the stuff to work on and leaved out the ones that are completed, so I don't have to waste any further time reading and reading and listing them in my book list I've just read on my own, so anyways, I will never forget about the joys of being a real prep at Ault School which is a good thing, way better than the faker from East High (Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld). I will also never forget the book I was introduced to zombies (Boneshaker). I will never forget the double feature in two years' time between the beginning of Mad Science Institute and the zombie apocalypse. I will remember the time of trial and all the whatnot from the Deep South (Mockingbird Duology, Cage Bird). But there's more to come than I could only imagine, so I will be able to get back into reviewing books in order to make my post draft collection go empty on me. Anyways, it looks like we have more sunlight and more time to get the reviews going to catch up until I am officially good to go. Please be patient while I update the fundraiser post and work on the reviews as soon as possible as if time allows. Thank you, and have a great spring break! I'll see you when I come back.

And don't forget to check the book review page for any further updates!

The Scott Pilgrim Saga Part 1

Series Run: August 18, 2004 - July 20, 2010
Location: Canada
Type: YA graphic novel
Genre: Comedy, drama, action, romance, fantasy

Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life


Plot:

(WARNING: Spoilers ahead, duh!)

The series begins by introducing Scott Pilgrim, a 23-year-old Canadian slacker living in Toronto with his gay roommate Wallace Wells. He is the bass player for a band called Sex Bob-omb, along with his friends Stephen Stills "The Talent" (guitar) and Kim Pine (drums). He has recently started dating a 17-year-old Chinese-Canadian high-schooler, Knives Chau. Though his friends consider this somewhat scandalous due to her age, Scott doesn't see a problem, as all they ever do is talk. One night, Scott begins dreaming about a girl on rollerblades whom he has never met before. He later glimpses her in real life and discovers that she is Ramona Flowers, a girl who has recently come to Toronto from New York after a rumored messy break-up with someone named Gideon. It is revealed that she can travel through an alternate dimension called "subspace" and that the purse she carries at all times is a portal to subspace as well. After Scott attempts to meet with her again, he receives an ominous email from someone named Matthew Patel, but Scott pays it little heed. Sex Bob-omb is preparing for a concert when Matthew Patel descends upon the stage and reveals himself as the first of Ramona's evil exes, who has mystical powers allowing him to summon "demon hipster chicks." Scott defeats him in a musical video-game-style battle, his final attack obliterating Matthew and leaving behind a handful of coins. Scott and Ramona decide to become a couple, provided that Scott agrees to defeat her six other evil-exes. When Scott asks if Gideon is one of them, Ramona's head glows.

(END SPOILER)

Rating and Review: This is such a great piece. It's worth 5/5 stars, and it's okay for ages 13 and up.

Volume 2: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Scott Pilgrim

Plot:

(WARNING: Spoilers ahead, duh!)

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World opens with a flashback to 7 years before the series begins. Scott and his friend Lisa Miller, high school students in Northern Ontario, want to start a band, but they need a drummer. This problem appears to be solved when Scott notices his classmate Kim's ability to play drums. When Scott finds out that Kim has been kidnapped by students from a rival school, he defeats the kidnappers, including the leader, Simon Lee, by kicking him off the roof, and rescues her. Kim joins Scott and Lisa's band, and dates Scott until they break up when he moves to Toronto. In the present, Wallace tells Scott that actor and professional skateboarder Lucas Lee, Ramona's second evil ex-boyfriend, is filming a new movie in Toronto. Scott awkwardly breaks up with Knives after Wallace threatens to tell Ramona about her. Scott then meets Lucas at his filming location, where Lucas beats Scott up and tells him about the "League of Ramona's Evil Exes" who have organized themselves to come after Scott. Scott defeats Lucas by goading him into skateboarding down a dangerous set of rails, where he ends up going too fast and bursting into coins upon landing. Having discovered Ramona is dating Scott, a furious Knives gives herself a hipster makeover by dyeing her forelock and attacks Ramona at the library. Knives confirms that Scott was cheating on her and Ramona simultaneously, and takes off. Meanwhile, Scott gets a call from Envy Adams, another of his ex-girlfriends, who asks him to open for her band The Clash at Demonhead that weekend. Speaking with Envy reopens Scott's unresolved issues about their breakup. Nevertheless, Sex Bob-omb show up to see Envy's band. The book ends with an epic opening by The Clash at Demonhead, where Ramona identifies the band's bassist as her third evil ex-boyfriend, Todd Ingram.

(END SPOILER)

Rating and Review: So, despite the cliffhanger, I seriously need more within' a burning passion! Anyways, 5/5 stars!

Volume 3: Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness

(WARNING: Spoilers ahead, duh!)

The Infinite Sadness continues the night that The Clash at Demonhead performs. After the venue clears out, Envy invites Scott and his friends backstage. Disgusted by Envy's new personality, Scott blames Todd for changing her and tries to attack him, but is stopped by Todd's psychic vegan powers. A flashback reveals that Envy, formerly known as Natalie V. Adams, was a mousy girl who gradually bloomed into a confident musical talent. She broke up with Scott once their band started to get noticed. Two days later, Envy confronts Todd about his cheating on her with the band's drummer Lynette, but Todd strikes her with his powers, shocking everyone. Todd and Scott have a battle, which Todd almost wins until the Vegan Police show up and strip him of his powers for violating his vegan diet (by eating gelato and a chicken parmesan). Scott headbutts the powerless Todd, who is reduced to a pile of coins, and receives an extra life in the process.
The Infinite Sadness also features extras, such as guest comics from Josh Lesnick, Alex Ahad, Andy Helms, John Allison, and David McGuire, as well as a map of the major characters illustrating their relations to each other. The title is a reference to the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins.

(END SPOILER)

Rating and Review: This is the best ender to the first half of the series, and yet the good time to take a break in the end and come back for more whether I need it. 5/5 stars

To be continued... tune in next time for Part 2!

The Terrorist Attacks Continue with the Brussel Airport!!!

Three coordinated bombings in Belgium kill at least 32 and injure at least 250. So anyways, I'm paying the tribute in a moment of silence, using the Belgium flag.

Thank you for an important memorial post, so anyways, please be safe as always and be prepared for the potential dangerous intruder, hacker, troll, enemy or terrorist by having to practice in case of emergencies and whether in case your device does on its own.

King Arthur and the Knights of Justice: The Review

After watching the entire series, endlessly I think:
"Knights! Knights! Knights! (repeat)"
"Excalibur, be my strength!"

The show's premise had King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table trapped in the Cave of Glass by the evil enchantress Queen Morgana. The wizard Merlin, unable to free King Arthur and the Knights himself, searches the timeline for replacement Knights. Merlin finds the quarterback of the New York Knights football team, Arthur King, as a suitable replacement. Merlin transports Arthur King and his teammates to Camelot after one of their football games and appoints Arthur King as their leader, with his teammates as the new Knights of the Round Table, and assigns them the task of freeing the true King and Knights. To do so, they must find the 12 Keys of Truth, one for each knight that only the knight in question can initially touch. Once all the keys are found, the real knights will be free and the team will return home. In the meantime, they pledge "....fairness to all, to protect the weak and vanquish the evil". The Knights are armed with special armor and are able to summon their respective creatures at any time when in battle armor. These animals, such as King Arthur's dragon, are emblazoned on their shields.

The series had a progressive story with both sides making progress towards their goals. Continuity was also established in the episodes which would be brought up in later episodes, along with some repeat minor characters, character relationships, and previously overcome weaknesses of the Knights. Despite the continual movement towards a resolution, the series is incomplete and ended abruptly during the second season.

You know the usual Saturday morning routine for Power Ranger fans who are into the Arthurian legend! But the transformations are somewhat repetitive as usual from the first episode and onward. Halfway there, I was thinking "Will there ever be the same ol' transformations in season 2?" Unfortunately, I was right, but the new thing that came with the segment is sound effects. In both seasons, there are different art styles. In season 2, what extended the episodes is lessons. At the end of each episode for season 2, either Merlin or King Arthur will show up and teach you guys some good virtues. The first fifteen episodes and episode seventeen are produced by Bohort Entertainment, but episodes sixteen, eighteen and onward are by BKN. In episode seventeen, I noticed the watermark "Amazing Adventures". Amazing Adventures used to be about the Saturday morning block of Discovery Channel or something before it was replaced by Discovery Kids. I was curious if animals and flowers crossover in thirteen devotional posts coming up. When the lesson segment shows up for the first time, I was thinking, "What are they thinking?! Do they watch too many synchronized cartoons with values at the end just so to throw in traditional value in order to shove down the street smart person's throats? I'm going nuts to force myself to post devotions as another way to increase the viewership with my blog because I'm sorry if I had wasted nothing new to do so but to just write, write and write. But still nothing to publish..."

When I'm two episodes away from the end of disc two, I was thinking, "Yup. I'm gonna stop for a moment because I've got some work to do for the blog." And so, I did asked my dad if I had the first three lessons to remember from the show to blog. He suggested if I was going to make a daily devotion book, but I probably think it's not going to work for now. My dream for the year 2016 was to continue writing "Where It All Began". If you don't know "Where It All Began", it's my 21st century literary criticism focusing on the book of Genesis in reflection to my current perspective. Hopefully, next year, it's "Meaningless in This World" with Ecclesiastes, same ol' genre from the same ol' perspective.

When I was at the end of disc two, I feel hopeless and confused with nowhere else to go but to take it easy and just put things off until later. Here's the quote:

"If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up someplace else."
- Yogi Berra

This is something that stands out in order to be the change everybody wants to see me talk, review, critique and discuss for hours and hours of non-stoppable fun for the whole grant of the Earth scholarship to have long term financial wealth. In reality, my dream to get paid for the first time seems like wishful thinking. My first paycheck outside work is when I was eighteen with the after-VBS daycare. Business-wise, it was absolutely nothing but just the first $5 from last year during my self-employment with home economics. "In order to be the change everybody wants to see me talk, review, critique and discuss for hours and hours of non-stoppable fun?" Don't you mean I referenced it to the quote from recently, as in "Be the change you want to see in the world." Earth scholarship? There's no such thing as an Earth scholarship (IN REAL LIFE)! There are a variety of scholarships you could choose from, but however, there is no Earth scholarship quite yet until I guess by 2050 when travelling to exoplanets become common and I think to my 54-year old self, "Nat's getting pretty old for some hashtags." You know what I mean? And I am nine months into the rest of my life besides the year of "Rebel Heart", so there's no going back. Instead, I need to succeed in everything as best as I can to become famous one day and be happy with what I already have. I haven't looked at the vacation getaways in my newly-turned decade of generalization yet (the 20s y'all know what I'm talking about - not the roaring 20s, or something that's approaching a few years from now, nor is the cold temperature, the real age where choices vary from time to time to make the rest of your life happen), but I'll look it up on my post from at least two months earlier because spring break is approaching and we probably have to go camping for two days. One of my teachers from the past term is going to Arizona and I've been there when I was four. I did not remember what happened as a little girl, but I was lost in time to kids' television shows. My grandmother noticed me and I barely saw her alive for a little amount of time. Remember from my introduction? I was baptized Lutheran when I was seven because of her last wish to not only me, but also to my two younger sisters as well. I was baptized Foursquare when I was twelve, same thing happened to the same ol' people except Grandma Marrujo's not here anymore and that's exactly what I wanted because I kept listening to the commitment to Christ Jesus, our LORD and Savior every single week a bit of time into the youth group. I was neither going to heaven, nor hell because one person from Yahoo! Answers said we exist from the moment we were born until the day we die, life was meant to experience everything, but you only live once. But how's that even possible to experience everything when you have religion, you tend to prohibit some forbidden things in this world such as with Hindus, they think cows are sacred, but Muslims don't eat any pork. As Christians, the diet varies from going strict-vegan to it's everything but the shellfish or something. I don't know what to do within my diet but to not eat anything processed and go for organic stuff with lots of nutrients to satisfy the hunger in order to survive. I would rather cook and do some self-employment fun! How about that?! It doesn't have to make any much sense. Come to think of the quote by Yogi Berra, one day I will open the Blogger's Club. I understand why it's important to work hard for the last bit of the quarter because I need to be quick like a rabbit.

In between discs 2 and 3, I pretty much had enough time to put in the final disc, press "Play All", sit back, relax and... review! Eight more episodes later, I realized why the second season is much like a sequel to the first season is because things could take on the rising action. (SPOILERS if you have not watched all 26 episodes of the show!) Like in episode nineteen where both sides of alignments end up in Miyako's day, in which they call the "1950s" as a mention of the time being where it's the golden days of Camelot park and everything. In episode twenty, I did not know there were manual-like planes back then, even before Da Vinci thought up one for future use in the later days where the Wright Brothers made up Kitty in 1903. In episode twenty-one, it's about the quest to Fear Island. In episode twenty-two, King Arthur retrieves Merlin's book from the hands of Morgana. In episode twenty-three, Morgana was attempted to enter the Round Table but Merlin stopped and defended her. She went away after her failures. In the semi-penultimate episode (which is twenty-four), the knights of justice cured the samurai enemies via the medicine from the bottle on a rainy and muddy day. In the penultimate episode, Elaine made her appearance and was the knight she dreamed of and recalled from her childhood, and the castle was covered in snow and ice? And last but not the least, in an unexpected series finale, Tone was kidnapped and hypnotized by Morgana, but was eventually saved by the other knights of justice. And that is where the company who produced it gets left off because they abruptly ended it. (end spoiler) The first season is good, but the second season does justice as a sequel to the first one.

According to Topless Robot, the show was ranked as the first of the two lists: Top 10 Most Ridiculous Adaptations of Aurthurian Legend (2009) and Top 8 Mostly Forgotten '90s Cartoons (2011). I know I had never seen the knights of the Round Table go Power-Ranger style like this before, but anyways, it's such a good show. I highly recommend for those of you who haven't seen the entire way there before. I survived, and um... yeah, good day! I'll see you whether I have to say. Talk to you later, folks!

I Know I'm Reaching the End of the Tunnel!

Just... I really want to thank God for this term! I am finding relief that this is getting paid off from all of the hard work that I did, despite the fact that I procrastinate sometimes and I felt the stress as a commonplace, but I think it's rather not normal for autism to deal with. Here it goes...


I survived the winter term! :)

PIXELS: A Review of Pure Doom

Hey, guys! What's up? I'm the creator of Where It All Began, and welcome back to the blog! (It's called Diary of a Young Woman if you don't know who I am.) To prepare things up for the last minute before the entire High School Musical trilogy full of preps, let's say it's the Revenge of the Nerds who meets 80's classic games in the current day, except it has action-adventure and things just come to life.

Anyways, onto the review!

(SPOILERS AHEAD, Duh!)

Summer of 1982, two boys named Sam Brenner and Will Cooper are headed into the arcade game zone, and they are trained to be in the World Arcade Championship. With binge-playing for hours of fun, it all leads up to the Donkey Kong tournament where the dwarf I already recognized from Enchanted or something showed up. He had already beat the game, and then came the sudden jump to 33 years later by just one cut.

The President is supposed to be Obama, not Cooper. And on the other hand, within a good note, Brenner was part of Nerd, the company where you could install home-theater systems and flat screen TVs attached to the walls. I know what video games are meant to be affected by reading skills, it was very over the top and productivity is just laziness, which is how much I recognized the cause and the effect. Story-wise, Cooper was probably hated by most Americans, but he himself did not care or something.

Meanwhile, in Yigo, Guam, pixels gradually fall down from the sky, and the army reacts and knew what to make of this. And then, what happened next? Um... I think Brenner went to the house, knowing he's going to get it paid, but Matty's household needs some help with installing the television into the wall. And then, there's a bit of backstory going on for a few minutes with only the mentioning like a husband cheating on Sinnamon, and how we found out they really gave love the wrong sense while Violet seems emotional and drinking from the sippy cup. I wish I would've done that if I get bad grades, but nope. Just eleven more months left until I am officially legal.

At the white house, Brenner spotted the space bugs and showed up at the conference room to see if the company has to solve before it becomes a problem. In response, they already had the decision to get rid of pixels before it's too late. Next, Ludlow showed up as a grown 41-year old and attacked Brenner, but eventually, they become friends, so his room with the grandmother off-screen reminds me of the Big Bang Theory with Howard's mom being off-screen and everything. And then, there's the videotape that contained the declaration of the intergalactic war. Meanwhile, Raj was about to purpose marriage to his girlfriend of three years, but at the shock of the Taj Mahal about to destroy by turning into pixel cubes, she escapes in panic and he disappeared into the ship of meaningless.

The Navy Seal soldiers were trained how to play arcade games, and then, they went to Hyde Park in London and attacked the caterpillars by the head. In an attempt to do so, they tried, but Ludlow and Brenner got it figured it out by themselves, relentlessly defeating the caterpillars by its head. After the last of the caterpillar was destroyed, one little kid was in awestruck wonder. I think the lieutenant and the British general looks somewhat like Skip and Bunce to me. Ludlow and Brenner let Mr. Plant be free from the conviction to fraud so early, I can't even tell the difference. And then, PAC-MAN in real-life! Except, the ghosts were portrayed by the Mini Coopers and the big one was the Pac-man itself with no arms and no legs, within the update into the dimension of pixels. The creator approaches it, knowing how Pac-Man had been evolved so fast, it bit his hand. Ludlow got out of the "pixelating" dark blue car, and lies there. Mr. Plant ended up into the water, and I thought he died. He was saved by the firefighters, and I was not very good at predicting things (remember the recent time I was wrong about the whole plotline and sub-genre? of The Alchemist). Meanwhile, Brenner defeated the last of Pac-man and New York City was saved.

Q*Bert makes the appearance, and I had the same feeling that I don't have Splatoon while I was growing up the same way Brenner doesn't have any violence in games while he's growing up, but Matty handles the maturity. In another way, my sisters Lauren and Simone are already addicted to the splatting and the killing of let's say, "Everything's meaningless!" I'm feeling bored about repetitive newsflash from Cally and Marie, the same ol' splatfest every month or so, one entire new stage on a monthly basis, etc. but not limited to ghosts flying from the bottom up and going around in circles at the same time, the "jumping to random spots", training, item buying, stock buying, token "paycheck" from the lazy cat and really... NOBODY CARES WHAT I'M WATCHING!!! The only good things I picked it out from are the mini-games that should've been into the arcade machines back in the 80s are "Squid Jump" and "Squid Volleyball". These two would've made it to Pixels: The Movie. Let's just get into another moment: Q*Bert and Matty became friends and jump on the trampoline. Q*Bert is like "Do it again! Do it again!" But move along, next! At the party, about probably a few minutes into the scene, Matty disappeared into the ship and things are about to get a climax when the next day... the city of Washington, DC! Is in very serious trouble when even more pixels show up. The gang goes on and saves the world via Donkey Kong, however, Ludlow has found true love with Lady Lisa and they attack pixels. In the end, everything turned out to be happy and what next? Q*Bert transformed to Lady Lisa, and Ludlow found her again.

One year later, they get married and had five Q*Bert children.

Yes, I know I'm such a millennial whose love probably is my "Lady Lisa" in a true and honest way, but not way over the top like Chris-chan and Ludlow. They seemed addicted to 1. the obsession of the creation of two infamous characters and 2. the addictive love of a fictional character from a fictional 1982 video game called Dojo Quest. If it includes me, that means 3. the "goffik" perks of being Link's Queen of the 2010s. If Shad comes to life, I would probably have one year to get married and maybe have one child, a boy called Lucian (if I'm certain). If it's a girl, it's either Tessa, Lola, Maria or Emily (if he's adamant). I don't know, maybe I would if he and I were Lisa and Ludlow, except it's not a few Q*Bert children. Just a single human being with nothing but diapers.

(END SPOILER)

This is so predictable, I have wasted over one hour and a half, getting on with it already. There is nothing to do with the Generation 2 account of my legacy challenge, and it's based on the 2010 French short film by Patrick Jean. Just some reflection on my life, and I'm already feeling ashamed on a few years of drafting prior to Time Bomb and the Shadow Saga, a part of me died.

The songs that I enjoyed are "Surrender" the 80s classic by Rick Neilsen (in which I'm hoping to add to my Generation 2 story as a good thing because of yet another barista scene), and "Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy. One song they had remixed is a popular song from 1977 called "We Will Rock You" by Queen, except it has dramatic music when the Donkey Kong parts played throughout in like twice. One song that had featured Good Charlotte right in the end is "Game On". Otherwise, that is a pretty good soundtrack in which more could be found using: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2120120/soundtrack.

The acting is somewhat decent, so bad, you're not gonna believe this. The CGI looks a bit outdated like it came with the late 2000s or something. I mean I found it somewhat funny, but I'm like trying to critique. Dad's like, "He's making a joke!" and I suddenly fell silent. There is no way I have to watch it again because the stupidity is real and video games just come to life BIG TIME, which is why it's only fiction and not true. I could admit that I might want to try for a full-length movie based on a fanfic or either a webcomic, whether My Immortal, Sonichu, My Inner Life or Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles. If they really stick close to the original source materials, they could all end up into the Golden Raspberry Awards and win Worst Picture.

Over the past year, I've already seen two out of five "Worst Picture" nominations for 2015: this and Jupiter Ascending from earlier. I felt bad about Jupiter Ascending being a ripoff of both Maximum Ride and Guardians of the Galaxy to me. And also, Pixels is just lazy story-writing, as in bad as cliché. The better stories really do come with YouTube, and I flippin' love the story where Shadow is reawakened from his fall, but is devoid of most of his memories, so he needs to know his real identity. I also love Llandros09's Isle of the Midnight Sun storyline, as well as the dramatic readings. Something worth better than ever can only be found in physical copies of books some of you won't find anywhere else, and it's all in the 380-paged 2014 edition of the Banned Books Guide by Robert P. Doyle, in which I encourage you to look up source materials only at amazon.com. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be the next big thing in the world, but I felt ordinary like everyone else. Here's the backstory of why I'm thankful for enjoying video games:

When I was little, the first video game ever that I enjoyed while growing up is Hydro Thunder. It's such the millennium classic you guys all enjoyed and love while we're kids. When we get older, we find things recent such as the GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo 64. My family owned the GameCube back in '05, and look what we've bought: the Sonic Gem Collection video game, where you may find several different classic games to play if you still own the Wii or GameCube. In the past several years, I found the GameCube stored in the sample thingy back at church and I just loved it with a burning passion, I'm pretty much addicted to the latest hits of what it was back then: Sonic Heroes, Super Mario Sunshine, Rocky Babola, etc. This is so nostalgic within the next few months of my life until Shad's own game showed up and I'm getting all hyped up for picking the main protagonist as my very first ever crush at age almost 10. You'll see. Ready? 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!
He is soo cute and hot, I'm going all wet when I saw him! Shadow's really awesome, but on the other hand...
Mr. Sam Brenner's not.
Ten years have flown by... I procrastinate, did my homework, got interested in literature, signed up to DeviantArt, who knows?! I'm the 20-year old "goffik" blogger with autism today. End of story. Period.

One month after I turned 20, I have waited too long for the last minute of priority to what I really love to hate within a burning passion in the next post or so. Preps... it's not gonna happen, but you're not going to be surprised and therefore, after the next thing you know, it could change your life forever, so you can just go ahead, watch Grease and read Maximum Ride. I highly encourage you to read the next post coming up in the next few days or so. If not, what's wrong with you, people?! You're ditching my blog and just leave... What are you thinking?! Gosh, you're so messed up by today's pop culture! Let's just get into the bottom note.

Pixels is so bad! So bad, it goes downhill, it's good on the other hand! I swear to Scheherazade for the final verdict, I would like to give this movie 0 out of 5 stars, and it literally goes down the pixelating computer chip.

Thank you for reading the post, and I'll see you in High School Musical. And by the way, I'm trolling preps CinemaSins style.

I Am Truly Sorry to Say that "Mockingbird"'s Author Had Passed On

I know I've read the whole entire text of "To Kill a Mockingbird" while she is still alive, that now she's gone this morning in her sleep at nearly 90 years old, I know she had lived a long life, being so close to the waitbutwhy.com's life calendar ending "You're 90 Now!" Let me color the whole thing in by myself for Ms. Harper Lee.

She is so close to fulfill her whole calendar of life, I don't think she's not eligible past her 90th birthday (in which her birthday is on April 28, 1926). She is 89 years, 9 months and 22 days when she passed on.
Did you know you've just read her two books before she passes on? If you are so lucky to read her debut for school, then why or why not did you read "Go Set a Watchman" while she's still alive? I can guarantee you that I had read "To Kill a Mockingbird" recently for the first time, and I think Scout's childhood account is so depressing, it's good. I am so desperate to read the sequel during the Academy Award weekend (which is next week), which it was meant to be the first draft some people know. I pretty much learned about her life. She will truly be missed!

Would you like to know more about her? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Lee

Diary of An Immortal by KiusLady: The Review

Spoilers ahead if you don't read all thirty-seven chapters of the original fic! Read @ your own risk and for enjoyment, using kiuslady.deviantart.com.

First of all, it was good, but then, it feels like I've been connected to The Glass Castle like New York in the '80s, and then time flew by ridiculously fast and it's not what I'd expected it to be. It's not a fantasy-action/adventure type, but rather it should be an eFic classic where reality and fantasy combine. I believe my eFic is better when it comes to fantasy and it should be an action/adventure in the first for the 70s, but went potentially serious in Generation 2 for the 80s and finally, it came crashing down to reality in the 90s and 2000s. I don't believe the time in my fic is more further down in the past than hers, but this time, it reaches the ending point of January 22, 2010 (the day where the last chapter was posted), compared to June 12, 2009 of the timing of my fic. The start date is in late spring 1979, compared to Miyako's birthday - April 21, 1943. Mine lasted 66 years while hers is thirty years and eight months. That takes almost half of the overall time in both eFics - one is a fanfic and the other is of the original work, which lasted the whole entire generation or so - 30 years in a row. Did you get it?!

Anyways, this is very realistic, compared to Enchanted (2007) in which I pretty much love it. But the rejuvenation every 30 or so years, it was like the rehash of the flower healing sequence from Tangled in my mental picture, except a bit more brighter. I think the main character in the story who was still physically in the early twenties, but chronologically supposed to be into her sixties by now after one time from magical fountain of youth kinda reminds me of Mia from the film adaptation of If I Stay from last year. Her older brother Gavin reminds me of D. Stecks, but his wife Diana and children Lucy and Emily, I somewhat connected the difference to the main character's son and fiancé from Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, in which things went intolerated at first, but it changed overtime. About Torahalar, he used to be her lover, but now he's treated like son, like mother in the end cliché (as in a somewhat ripoff of Miyako and Haruki at the end of Tales of the Fame of Yesterday). I don't know how old were the parents, but believe me, in the year where the 9/11 attacks happened, the father had a heart attack, two years later, my grandmother died, another two years later, he died, the next two years went, his wife passed on. Another two years later, all of my three grandfathers died and the very next year, my stepuncle died over a month after the story ends.

So... this story is good. It wasn't great as I thought it is by the hype, it wasn't bad thus remembering too much of the trope I made up called "Things Have Changed Too Quickly" on about the other half when reality faces the protagonist, compared to Prep in the end, right after Prize Day '93. I should use the "Things Have Changed Too Quickly" trope for the beginning of Generation 3 of my legacy challenge fanfic once we go back to Earth after 19 years of being in a fantasy land. I would highly recommend Imaginary-Alchemist watchers for deviantART based on certain tastes, but including Imaginary-Alchemist (the one I subscribe for MIL webcomic) and Sanna2011. Thank you for reading January's eFic of the Month review, I will be doing February's The Silence Before by Ray Underscore Thompson of The Retributionists.

Looks Like We Have More Time to Do Review Things

One thing that happened in the Star Wars franchise is Episode 8 has been postponed to December 15, 2017 and that there's nothing to do with the original cast or something, but we'll never know for sure as well as anything goes.

By spring, Apple is announcing the iPhone7 to the public along with its wireless headphones and it looks like we're bored of playing church while turning reality into theology. See, that's how we ran out of new ideas! But the good news is we might be open-minded to other cultures and gain new ideas to increase our productivity level. First come, first served, fingers crossed, if you would like to see more book reviews, movie reviews, TV Show reviews and screenplay/traditional play reviews! Don't forget eFic reviews! It happens once per month starting in January 2016 with Diary of An Immortal by KiusLady. Keep an eye out for my works, and I wish you the best of luck for patience, okay!

Independence is Kickin' In!

One of the things my independence starts kicking in is to learn how to be organized and do chores on a regular basis, which is too lazy and unhealthy for my personal productivity to handle, but I'll do the best I can, for as long as my first real paycheck has to wait and I'm getting bored of the lack of money in my household, thankfully, we already cut the cord last year, so we can save a little bit extra money to have my sister check her smartphone from Consumer Cellular, (as in reducing the cost of phone lines per month from $200 to $50 when my mom and sister got out of the Verizon credit phone store hypothesis,) and now, things went a bit more worse when something next is about to happen and I hope it's not any kind of cable, nor satellite. I need real stuff like TV Freeway, Clear-TV antenna and Free Digital TV antenna, so I can do whatever I want without worrying about ridiculous price hiking bills forever and it will change the way my children, grandchildren and descendants in the future can watch television, and so could you and your fate on newer generations to come. Yes, I'm already jealous of Xfinity and the next upcoming generation after us, millennials... let's say I'd rather teach them once they go to college by 2019, and I'm pretty much more than happy to enjoy the fun and excitement for the sake of what will become of a new early adulthood group full of lifelong learners. I'm not sure which subject major I'm teaching, but still, I was more interested in Arts and Humanities as a major, however, on the other hand, I have music, English and communications as a big part of life.

My favorite part of being independent is to visit the public library more often, so I could at least check out more books, study, pay fines (that's a huge big NO-NO on me, due to my very own business of being a Bellevue College student and I have not yet been fully paid until all the books are turned in late) and watch movies from the computer. I enjoyed the research, but the recent one I had is Groton. Did you know Groton is the IRL version of Ault, except the grades are one more than the one I read in Prep? That was eighth grade, perfect for running start in selected students. Ninth grade means more students are coming to meet up with a bit experienced ones. Tenth grade is the fourth form. Eleventh is the fifth form. Senior year means sixth form. Prize Day is graduation. Yeah, you know what I mean... the reunion happens one week before prize day. Each five years, the class visits for the reunion form until the 75th. I hope more people will be more than welcome to become verified supercentarainians and to break the record one day after Jeanne Calment because it's been almost eighteen and a half years, so why wait for the secrets of longevity.

So, I need to look for the job over the summer, but for now, I'm a full-time student. I will come back to the DVR in two years and three months to see how I've changed. Hopefully, I will be able to clean up every single day and I might get used to the childhood feeling of chores (as in boring), which I was used to being overweight before I have to be in good shape, just so to reduce the risk of anything that could cause certain death for some reason.

Thank you for reading and have a great MLK weekend! See you Tuesday.

How to Be in the Real World for Millenials

Have you attended IEP Senior English before? Did you know you have attended all of that technical stuff going on in your life waiting for creativity to happen in the end to come up with resolutions for next year? It would be a little ol' me, dealing with all of the growing up practice after I turn 18 and had the guardianship program taken care of by my parents. First things first - after you had all of your requirements for graduation taken care of, say you just have to start with the Job Skills Communications. That's a good thing for you to look up at the seven worst mistakes while on the job interview. Here they are*:
  • bad posture
  • bad handshake
  • sweaty palms
  • lack of eye contact
  • fidgeting
  • appear distracted or uninterested
  • failing to smile
*Taken from 7 Worst Mistakes Job Seekers Make @ Business Insider on Yahoo!

You should be able to read this article to have a job in perfection. Also while in interview, you should:
  • be able to have eye contact with a person
  • think, do and act professional
  • sit up straight
  • feet flat
  • have a nice, clean, neat, tidy resume in
  • wear conversatively
  • not have headphones
  • think straight and ignore what you want on your company's building
For more information about everything wrong with the mistakes on the first half of the video and how you should do this on the other half of the video, go to The Enthusiasm Attitude under soft skills at www.dol.gov.

Keep in mind that you should be able to know that you're lazy, technologically competent, and need to face the real world. Think working hard as if you want food to survive and money to manage for personal finances. Be realistic!

See the Wait But Why post for more information of how your generation is like IRL.

The Coming of Age Had Passed and the General Age Decade Had Just Arrived

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

-Henry David Thoreau

Time went way faster than I thought it would, so this is the umpteenth post, but actually it is the 301st to be published. Happy belated milestone of 300 posts!

Did you know September 16 is the overused birth date, as well as January 1 is the overused death date? On the trend, either October 5 and 6 could be the next official birthday to be perfectly honest. My 20th birthday is coming up in one week and a half, so that means it's time to throw in the vacation spots during the decade of what could be the fate for the rest of my life.

Corpse Bride Movie Review

Speaking of gothic these days, when I was nine, the movie came out. My family was kinda picky about witchcraft and stuff back then, because they're Evangelicals. When I was a little girl, I was going to watch Halloweentown, and I always wanted to see it ever since, but my parents cut me off for the first few seconds in and I was turned-off. I grew up, knowing there's no such thing as magic. I think today, the Halloweentown saga was unwatchable once you graduated from high school. How unfortunate! I already read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone once when I was in sixth grade. I never got to read the rest of the series, nor did I reread one again, but thankfully, in super senior year, I had decided to get what I exactly want, which is why I had come to read the whole entire story about My Immortal by Tara Gilesbie. I flippin' loved it too much to death I want Shadow and Ebony to get together like Link's Queen did it with Link and Jenna. Ebony is soo awesome, I wanted her to become the bride of the world's ULF and one day, I would look forward to see them have kids in my Generations LP to add to my AU story. Besides the couple I made up, I finally get to watch and review The Corpse Bride, thanks to Tara's favorite movies according to her fanfiction.net profile, using xxxbloodyrists666xxx. Here's the list:

corpse bride, mean gurlz, van helsing, any odder horror movie, nightmare b4 christmas, da ring, da ring 2, da grudg 2, saw2 and saw 3, da omen, scary movie 4, cursed, TWILITE, NEW MOON

At least she forgot Eclipse and the Breaking Dawn 2-Parter, the last update she had is on December 21, 2009. It was way back in eighth grade when she was last seen, before coming to deviantART for Mordred's Lullaby and more, all on her DeviantArt portfolio, using xxx666bloodyristsxxx. Tara is still there, she is alive and well, but man, she is so depressed for the love of Scheherazade! I'm not sure how she's going to make the next chapter of her current work in progress called Mordred's Lullaby, but still. Today, she took long breaks from each chapter because... procrastination and... CRAWLING IN MY SKIN!!!


You know why I was grunge back in junior high? Because I was attempted for heavy metal, but the results failed when it comes to classical rock of the '80s. That's why I'm such a poser I was. I became punk, and later on, I went from shy to bookworm to whatever I had right now - the nostalgia critic of the Northwest, the Link's Queen of the 2010s, a part of the Marrujo bunch, the blogger of the diary of life and death since 2013, blah, blah, blah, blah. TIME FOR THE CORPSE BRIDE!


So, in the beginning, Victor was about to marry his sweet Victoria when suddenly, during the rehearsal, he forgot the vows. He's awkward! He was kicked outside and went lost into the woods, while trying to remember the vows. At the ring part, he brought Emily back to life. Together, they went on the adventure, and things went spooky and creepier minute-by-minute, but I realized it's the love triangle I spotted on. Meanwhile, Victoria rather elopes Lord Barkus by force, but I remember it turns out to be rather an amazing adventurous masterpiece by Tim Burton when things turn out to where it was before, except for a few changes.


That sums up the plot line! Definitely a win-win! 5 out of 5 stars, and suitable for ages 9 and up.

#happy2016

There are so many things I need to complete by this new year, but the stress from my mind keeps waking me up on the inside and I'm sick of doing repetition throughout the good ol' days where I have to reminesence from my childhood and soon the hormonal days of teen life. I still had the teenaged angst on that gothic inner crush of the decade by far, so I really am nostalgic for aliens, guns and all the cool stuff he had ever since. I am the New Year's kid, but I'm a belated Xmas present. Did you know East Wildcat preps are soo cheesy, I really can't stand it?! The Ault preps are waaay past cool and a ZILLION times better, you can only find it in Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld.

On the good note, my school is having the 50th anniversary celebration this term, so I painted my nails gold and silver for the NYE celebration. To add the spirit, I did my designs all cobalt blue, so anyone will know I'm into the new beginnings when it comes to reading. Not only did I ditch the 21-day fast too early for just a few hours from the start, but also I just really want to get into the 8% who succeeded the New Year's Resolutions every single year. Anything besides my 100 Banned Books Challenge will do:

1. continue the fanfics I've started reading from the previous year
2. catch-up and deal with SKY REGAN already!
3. remember the rules and schedule plus assignments
4. finish writing Grey Petals, Freya and Where It All Began
5. know how to keep things up with a new me (the only change to have by the end of 2016 is my weight)
6. remember to read the Disney Legacy Challenges
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.)
8. finish the other half of MIL dramatic reading by shadhardblogger
9. Have fun reviewing the HSM movies and remember: be the "goffik" critic!

Be sure to not forget the lookout for new posts on the way in the new year! Have a great day.
