I'm a Dork


I'm a dork and I'm not afraid to admit it.

After reading Rachel Russell's "Dork Diaries: Tales from a not-so-Popular Party Girl" I realized that being a dork isn't so bad after all. While reading the book I felt more confident with myself and I can't help but laugh at myself because while reading the book Nikki,the main character of the book,was doing the things I would have been doing if I were in the same situation. Not only did I find I myself glued to the book when I first read the first few pages but I also found myself in Nikki. I can't wait to read Dork Diaries tales form a not-so-fabulous life. Not only is the dork dairies a fun book to read but it also mentioned Bella Swan and Edward Cullen from twilight and Justin Bieber!!! Which made the book even cooler.

I just turned down an opportunity I've always wanted


Everything was surrounded by light. I felt so happy I seemed to be floating. It was like the whole world stopped and rejoiced with me. I extended my arms out and just as my hands were about to make contact a sudden burst of cold wind made me shiver. Odd, I thought to myself. I turned my attention back to where it was suppose to be before the sudden burst of wind distracted me. I turned around only to find out that the wind carried away the opportunity I've been dreaming of ever since...

When they told me I was one of the chosen students to attend the Journalism Workshop on July 31- August 1 I couldn't help but feel happy at the same time sad. It would be my first time to attend this kind of workshop and to be honest I've been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time. It was a dream come true for me to be chosen to attend the workshop for two days. My classmates who were part of the Journalism Workshop last year said it was a great learning experience, which of course made me more eager to attend. We attended a meeting that afternoon at the grade school AVR together with the rest of the chosen students. When we were told to ask permission from our parents to join the workshop I knew in my mind that my mom wouldn't hesitate to answer yes. She knew how much I loved writing, but the next line our teacher said change everything. I felt a sudden pang of sadness. The journalism workshop happened to be on the weekend before the week of our exams. I tried to smile when I was given the circular but I was only fooling myself. I am never gonna get a chance to attend the workshop.
When I got home I told my mom about it and she asked me if I wanted to attend the workshop. I simply shrugged my shoulders and sat down on our chair. I didn't want to decide and so I told my mom that the following week after the workshop was our exams.When she heard it she simply told me not attend. I was devestated. She signed my circular and handed it back to me. I cried of course, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time. I guess if it's not meant to be then it isn't. I'm not worth it anyway.....

Casper The Friendly Ghost


I was flipping through the channels of our television when I came across channel 40
"Casper!" I exclaimed.
"Lets watch it" My sister said.
Casper the friendly ghost is one of my favorite movies of all time. I remember when I use to watch it over and over again when I was still small. How I love Casper and The three other ghost back then. My sister and I together with my brother had tons of laughter while watching the movie. The thing I love most about Casper is that he's so friendly to humans even though they run away from him. I felt my face get hot as Casper ask some well... lets just say "sweet questions" to Kat. As we were watching the movie there were a lot of commercials in between, with my impatient brother watching the movie with us all I could hear when the commercials went on was my his clamoring and I couldn't agree more. They were cutting the scenes and that left us hanging. My sister began shrieking at the part were Casper became
human.
''Oh my gosh! he is so handsome!" My sister exclaimed.
I laughed at my sister's sudden adoration to the human Casper. The movie eventually ended and up until now I can't get the images of Casper out of my head. Casper the friendly ghost.

Team Edward or Team Jacob


Edward Cullen vs Jacob Black.
Which side are you on? It all begins here.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to have a vampire for a boyfriend and a werewolf for a best friend? Well I did. It's funny how I use to be on Edward's team and how I loathed Jacob Black back then. Edward as always, has been very close to my heart but now Jacob is catching up. Whenever I read my twilight saga books over and over again I help but fall in love with Jacob. Whenever I think of Edward and Jacob it reminds me of what true brotherhood is really about. I can't help but laugh at both of them. Here you have the inhumanly beautiful Edward Cullen and very muscular Jacob Black I don't know why is it that some people are still part of Edward's team and some are still part of Jacob's team when you can be in both teams at the same time. It's not like there is a rule book that says you can't be on both teams. How about you, who's side are you on?

Rain


I love the rain, don't you? It's a time for us to stay indoors and curl up on our beds because of the cold, wet weather. A time when we find things to do that won't bore us to sleep. Believe it or not I actually find the rain very comforting.

The rain is falling on my window pane yet the sound of it makes me feel calm. I looked outside and the images of me when I was still small flashed inside my head. I remember the times when I use to beg my Mother to allow me to take a bath under the rain together with my neighbors. We would walk around our subdivisions singing out loud. I remember when I use to think that whenever it rains it's because the angel's are crying. Looking back at those times makes me laugh but, now that I'm a tween everything seems different. And as I stand here now feeling the cold wind touch my face, the feeling of happiness washes over me. It's amazing how memories could bring you so much joy. I realized that you can't always have the best of things because too much like of it, like the rain is bad for one's self. So let us make the best out of everything we do. It does not matter if we have bright and sunny memories like the sun or cold and dark memories like the rain what matters is that when we look back at it we learn will from our experiences and we will be able to laugh at the things we've done!
