Soooo....

Tomorrow is the Haunted House Exhibition! Aren't you excited?! I am kinda, but there's this part of me that's like oh-no-what-if-it-all-goes-wrong kind of thing. Well anyways, I just wanted to say: Good Luck Everyone! I hope this all goes well! I soo cannot wait to see the other scenes.. It'll be interesting..... :) Well, g2g I'll post again soon. Bye!

P.S. I changed my layout! Like it?

I'm in Kay's Class!!!!! :)

Hi everyone! This blog is for another assignment for Humanities class. We read a book called Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now by Maya Angelou. I decided to cretae a "found poem" from the text. So here it goes!!

From the valley of strange humors to the country to no return,
many desperately seek to know all answers.
Some are in dry silence or in a great deal of laughter.
Life is pure adventure, treat it as art,
And remember your own shortcomings.

That's what I came up with! :) It doesn't entirely makes sense, but remember: I just found it. That's why it's called a found poem. hehe! Anyways, I also absolutely loved this quote from the text:
"They are a love of life and ability to take a great pleasure from small offerings, an assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift."
That quote is deep. It may take a while to like decode it and truly understand what it means. For me, I think this quote means to always appreciate what you have or what you get because you never know what will happen in the future. Right? Kaa, so I guess I'm done. ttyl!

Reading Journal

Hey everyone!! I was able to get Eclipse last weekend and now I'm about half way through it. hehe! :) For this reading Journal, I decided to do something different. So, I was wondering all day yesterday, how would it feel like if I had a life like Bella's. Her life is like super crazy because she's like having a relationship with a vampire and she's best friends with a werewolf until what happened between her and Jacob. For those of you who read it, you might know what I'm talking about and during that part, I thought Jacob was a total jerk. :[ <----That's my opinion though. Eclipse also acknowledges you with legends and stories of the past, which is like really interesting. :) Anyways, I decided to put myself into Bella's perspective and I ended up writing a poem about what was going on in her life right now. Well, it may not seem like a poem, but it was the easiest way for me to imagine what Bella's life is like. Here it is!

You're always in my mind
But you're not even part of Human kind.
Always protecting me
like there's nothing else left.
Danger stalks me in every corner,
it's always there, but we can't see it.
I wanted immortality,
but it all was too soon.
Then graduation came,
and it all fell into place.
Everyone was in danger,
and it was all because of me.

So, that's how far I've gotten in the book! :) Eclipse is like really getting good..... hehe! Yesterday, I also read an article about a woman getting really upset because her husband "divorced" her in an internet relationship on an game called Maple Story. She got soo angry that she hacked into his account and killed his character. While reading this I was all like "What?!? That's Crazy!" I mean isn't it? It's an internet relationship, you can't trust anyone you meet on here. I don't think anyone should do that anyway 'cause you never know who's on the other end. But watev, I'm always extra careful on the internet. Sooo, I guess that's it 4 this week! cya!

Goodbye to the World

Soooo, in humanities, we were assigned this pretty cool activity where we had to write a goodbye monologue as if we were gonna die. It was really interesting to write it because well.... you don't wanna leave anything out right? Well here's mine!!

Goodbye to Chula Vista, mom, dad and little brother. Goodbye quick weekends and slow weekdays. Goodbye cold nights and sunny days. Goodbye friends and our out-of-hand craziness. :) Goodbye sweet music and the ocean waves. Goodbye cool breeze and misty fogs.To quiet reading times and the moon at night and the stars above. Goodbye home cooked meals and dinner time with the family. Goodbye to traveling and road trips. Goodbye precious trees and plants. Goodbye to slow rides in the evening and rollar coasters at theme parks. To walks in a park and bike rides along the streets. Goodbye to interesting, thick books, and never-ending television. Good bye to the ocean and all the wonders in it. Goodbye to Enlightenment artwork and classical music. Goodbye to my little pets and collections of many. Goodbye to old scrapbooks and the pictures it holds. Good bye to life itself and the memories that I had.

That's it! Hope you like it! You also must've learned a little bit about me. hehe! ttyl!

Just a little quick update, I added this music player thinger majig to my blog with some songs on it, and I wanna thank everyone who comes to my blog. :) Well, I g2g!

Reading Journal

WOW.... is all I have to say about these Twilight books. They're amazing! :) I'm on the last chapter of New Moon and I am SO looking forward to reading the next one. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten Eclipse yet, so.... off to Target!!! lol :) just kidding. I'll probably get one this weekend. New Moon was just as good as the first one. Some parts were intense and kept me reading for more. I seriously could not put this book down. I also thought that alot of parts in this book were so unexpected like Laurent being killed and Edward thinking that Bella died. There were also some parts in New Moon that are mostly about Bella's thoughts, which was interesting because sometimes you wonder what's going on in Edward's or Jacob's thoughts.I also noticed the style Stephenie Meyer writes in. It's kinda different than most authors. I noticed that the climax is not until like you 3/4 done with the book. I'm not really sure if I prefer it near the end or at the middle. I've read a ton of books, but I think it creates more suspense if it's near the end. Well.... I guess that's it! It's not like my usual reading journals where I have like connections during the book. This was just my response to New Moon. I'll probably do it once in a while. I gotta go! cya!

Picture Vocab Blog

So, it's time to post some pictures for my Humanities homework using some vocab words from the book/ play we're reading called Our Town. Some of the vocabulary was like okay i know this, but some were like Whoa, what? So anyways, here's some pix relating to the vocab. I'll also put a sentence next to it because I'm not sure if I have to.

This is a sentinel who stands guard at multiple places.

This puppy looks like it's in despair. Aww... :(

This picture has many epitaphs holding memories of the dead.

Hope you enjoyed my picture, Ms. Kay!

Reading Journal

Hi everyone! So, I finished Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and I'm now reading New Moon. And OMG, these books are so good. All I want to do is read them. :) I'll start with Twilight. I don't reall have much connections in this book, but I guess I'll post most of them. In the beginning of the book, Bella decided to move to Forks, Washington in the beginning of a new semester. I was kinda like that. When I was about 7, I moved from Chico (it's in Northern CA) to San Diego in the middle of the first semester. Another connection I had with the book was whenever Bella would email her mom since she was in a different state. Whenever my dad goes on Deployment or Underway, We email each other all the time since that's the only way we can communicate with each other. For those of you who don't know, deployment and underway are Navy terms. Deployment means going away for about a couple months and underway is when the navy ships go away for a couple days or weeks. :) In one of the chapters, there was a time when Bella almost fainted because in her Science class they were checking their blood type. Something similar can happen to me. I don't like seeing the sight of blood. For me, I feel like.... weak, I guess you can say when I see it. :/ So, I don't wat to go any farther than that since a lot of people want to read it. Hmmmm... what else did I read this week? Well, I read the packet Kay gave us for Humanities about Death in Russia. Their funerals are really simple. I guess that's all I can think of right now. Sorry if it's shorter than usual. I'm kinda in a hurry because I have to go to the Invisible Children Art Auction. Ttyl!

Yes! The weekend!

Yay! It's time for another weekend! I've been sooooo busy for the last couple days. From College Visit Day (which I have admit was pretty fun excluding the tiring part) to all of my projects in every subject. I was able to have a little fun though. Well, whenever I had free time I would read, but I consider it fun. haha, I'm such a nerd...... Just kidding!! I was able to get all my work done on time. I can finally rest over the weekend. Well, not really. I have some stuff going on too. Well... I guess that's it! Just wanted to post a quick update. :)

Reading Journal #6

I'm currently reading Twilight right now, but I think I'll do this reading journal on Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson. Ridley Pearson is actually the co-author of Peter and the Starcatchers. He usually writes suspense thrillers, but I don't think this book wasn't that scary. This book is about 5 teens who are DHIs (Disney Host Interactive) in the Magic Kingdom (part of Disney World) trying to stop the evil Overtakers from taking over the whole park and possibly the world. The Overtakers are the animatronics from various rides amoung the park such as Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World, and Thunder Mountain Railroad. One thing I can totally relate to is Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK). VMK is a multiplayer online game, and of course, it's Disney. The kids used it to contact each other because they didn't have cell phones. I can relate to it because I actually played that online game for a long long time. That's where my friends and I used to meet up just like Finn, the main character, and his friends. :( Unfortunately, the game closed down after being open for almost 3 years. What's cool about this book is I can really imagine what's happening in my mind. As you guys may have known, I'm a total Disney girl. So, while reading this book, I could really see where thay are, what's happening, and what Magic Kingdom looks like. I recommend this book to Disney lovers and people who like suspense novels. :) I liked this book alot and i can't wait to read Kingdom Keepers 2: Disney at Dawn. :D Since I want to write just a little more, I guess I can talk about lyrics again. hehe! Well this week, I read the lyrics of "Hold On" by the Jonas Brothers. This song is about just staying strong while life is getting or is hard. This song helped me alot throughout many times in the past year, but mostly when I had to evacuate during the wild fires last year. I absolutely love this song, and it still helps me when I'm sad or when I'm having a bad day. Well, I guess that's it!
~Denise :)
P.S. Like last time, I'm gonna post the lyrics of "Hold On." :)
We don’t have time left to regret(hold on)
It will take more than common sense(hold on)
So stop your wondering take a stand(hold on)
Theres more to life than just to live(hold on)

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

One single smile a helping hand(hold on)
Its not that hard to be a friend(hold on)
So don’t give up stand 'til the end(hold on)
Theres more to life than just to live(hold on)

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you love someone
And they break your heart
don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When it falls apart and your feeling lost
All your hope is gone
Don’t forget to hold on, hold on

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
When you love someone and they break your heart
Don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Cause an empty room can be so loud
Its too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
When you love someone and they break your heart
Dn’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Board Games Make Me Bored.....

lol! That's partly true. I like to play Chess and umm... some others I can't name. I just thought of that randomly because I'm bored (pretty much) and the song I'm listening to reminded me of it. And yes, it is a Jonas Brothers song called "Games." I just got done doing some research on our life and death project. My group and I decided to do it on Russia. I've always wanted to go there since I was little. And now I don't remember why. :D Anyways, today was an interesting day. We had our first community meeting EVER and it was cool. The fashion show was hilarious! Well, some parts of it were. hehe! :) And there was also these two ladies who visited today talking about the blue ribbons that said "Who I Am Makes A Difference" They were motivating us to follow our dreams and never give up. There are amazing people out there and they night not even know it. Hearing a bunch of other peoples' stories today kind of remided me of my own, and moving to HTHCV made me feel so much better than I ever was before. It was like a new chapter in the story in my life and I want to thank every single person that I met along the way, especially my friends (you know who you are ), my awesome teachers, Kay, Ted and Mr. Y (you guys rock!), and my family who's been with me ever since the story of my life began. Thank you guys soooo much! I don't know where I would even be right now without you!
~Luv, Denise :)

Hi!!!!!!!!! I had a really good day today. :D I decided to post a blog on it cuz I'm bored and happy. Hehe! So, my happy day started off in Graphic Design when I was able to work Photoshop. yay! That program is soooooo complicated, but i finally was able to make something that's not a squiggly line. lol! And I also found out that I have a higher grade now in Graphic Design. So now I have to maintain my grades to keep it at the same level or even higher. :) Today was also twin day. which was pretty cool cuz we were able to play with water baloons during lunch. lol! that was fun! But the most part why I'm happy 2day is because...... I'm going to a Jonas Brothers concert! YAY! My mom was able to buy tix 4 November 15 and she got me floor seats on section D! I am so excited because for the other concerts that I've been to (all of them are Jonas Brothers, hehe!) I've always sat at the back either on the lawn or terrace, but now I'm so excited! :D Well, I guess that's it 4 now!
