the little mermaid :]

i watched slumdog for the first time and it was amazing

which version of jai ho is better?

orrr 

this activity was really really fun. i collected the following medicines:  courage, compassion, humor, joy, heart, perseverance, humility, and integrity.  i started by getting courage from mr. hicks; i chose courage because i feel lik courage is a very important aspect for my future.  without courage i’d be timid and afraid of speaking my mind.  I want to have the courage to speak out against things i don’t believe in.  the next medicine i chose was compassion which i found in the religion office underneath budda’s head. my mom is the most compassionate person i know and i want to have that aspect of her very badly.  compassion allows you to relate to people and help anyone.  i feel like compassion is reaching your heart out to someone. Next i found humor it said that humor is the universal language that can get you through anything, and i’d have to strongly agree.  I feel like humor can lighten any situation and allow you to connect with people. joy was the next one on the list that I chose.  I used to go to Heritage and they taught us that there is a difference between happiness and joy.  Happiness is temporary while joy is something that is permanent.  Joy was found in the community service office which i thought was very fitting. Helping other’s really does bring you joy.  Joy is important because in the future i hope that i will do something that brings me joy and not a career that is just going to bring me money.  Heart was the next medicine that i found in the principles office.  Heart is very important because i want to have a heart that is willing to help other people and a hear that is unselfish. I found perseverance in Mr. Brown’s office.  He shared with me about how difficult his job is.  I want to have perseverance because it’s very important for me not to give up even through all the difficult times.  I found strength in Mrs. McCarthy.  I think that strength is very similar to perseverance.  I want to have the strength to make it through everything and try to conquer everything fate throws at me.  Next i found humility in the learning center.  Humility is very important to me because it is important to humble yourself in order to truly understand other people.  if you are always putting yourself above everyone else’s level you’ll never truly understand anything. 

there were a few medicines that i didn’t have time to get because the teachers weren’t in their rooms.  Discernment from Padre, patience from the admissions office, and integrity from Ma.  Patience was one that i wish i could’ve collected because i don’t have much of it.  It is very important for me to have patience because I am going to work with children in the future and i know that i need to have patience with children. 

Integrity is also very important because in the medical field you need to have great integrity. I want to be a great doctor, and i want to help people in the right way.

i really really hate white slips because it’s just super difficult explaining to my dad that the reason i hav a B in english is because i forgot some blog posts but that i did extra credit.  even after all my explanations he still worries which i know he’s just trying to look out for me blah blah blahh all that parental good stuff but it’s still annoying! on top of that there’s ap chem which i’m not going to lie i’ve basically given up on.  self teaching is not working out for me and i’m completely and utterly lost…

today is day one of my 2 day famine. i’m fasting from noon today until 7.00 saturday.  why? well every year my church’s youth group does this event called 30 hour famine.  30 hour famine is an event sponsored by world vision basically you fast for 30 hours in order to raise awareness about all the starving kids in the world.  $1 a feed a child for a day :] soo if anyone is interested in donated let me kno! in all honesty, 30 hours is actually not that hard, but because i help coordinate it i end up having to help set up the food for breaking the fast which is the hardest part. seeing and touching the food but not being able to eat it. wish me luck!!

well i went to heritage from K-8th grade and i hadnt seen a lot of my friends so they invited me to mo joe’s to watch some of my other friends play and it was amazing.  im not really into the indie scene but the music was amazing and i loved the atmosphere…so here’s my shameless promotion for my friends..go to mo joe’s on friday night 7.30-8 for awesome live music and yummy coffee!

oops. i didnt realize that we were supposed to write this blog last week so i guess i’ll just write it now.

hmm well if u read my personal essay its pretty clear that ever since i was little i’ve wanted to be a doctor. recently tho i’ve been having a lot of doubts about it. the amount of schooling is just crazy and i dont kno if i want to spend my life having 10+ years of school. ahhh its just so crazy. i talked to my grampa about it and he assured me that no matter wat he would always be proud me which i guess i already knew but made me feel a lot better. i kno for a fact that if i became a doctor i would be able to change so many people’s lives and knowing that just feels amazing but i guess im selfish and i hav yet to determine whether or not the excessive schooling is worth it

i finally finished my MORE than 3 page long paper for religion. lets jus say that it was not fun. why does it seem lik the other religion classes have noo papers but my class has 3 papers in a month.
anywayss im done ranting. finals have gone surprisingly well
and i cant wait till XMAS !!!!!

lastly for those of u who have never heard Cobra Starship. u’ve been seriously deprived of amazingness. VIVA LA COBRA :]

 

Are you afriad to dream?

I love dreaming.  If only i could remember my dreams after i wake up; I know if i’ve had a good dream if i wake up and feel refreshed and energized, if i wake up and am all sweaty and clamy i know ive had a knightmare lol. 

Do I believe in the concept of destiny?

Yes and no i guess…I believe that God has everything planned out for me and he knos everything that is going to happen.  I beleive that if something is going to happen its going to happen, theres nothing you can do to prevent it; everthing happens for a reason.  I do believe that you are able to choose different paths to lead u to ur final destiny.

DO i believe that i have been given life for a purpose?

yes most definately.  I may not be the smartest person in the world or the most talented but i am special.  God created me for a reason and i think anyone can do something great to impact the world.  The smallest things can change the world.  I watched the movie pay it foward a few weekends ago and it was really inspiring basically one little boy changed the world.  He did something nice for 3 ppl and then each of the three did sommething big for 3 other ppl so on and so forth. 

To break the seal or not..

YES BREAK THE SEAL!

What might be the benefit?

umm…i kno wat im destined to do?

what might be the cost?

well if its telling me that im going to die on a certain date i might try everything possible to “thwart” my destiny

Would I, in real life, discover your destiny if offered the chance?

YES…only because i am way too curious

My reaction to my destiny…

“You will have an average life, knowing neither great success nor protracted pain.”

EW> BORING LIFE! i guess the not knowing protracted pain part was nice.   yeah basically im going to live my life as a plain jane. after reading my oracle im really determined to make my life as exciting as possible and I WILL ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS! screw the destiny.
