Korean Korean Korean!!!!!!

 Wow!! I haven't been on here in SO long. To my 1 new follower...thanks!!! A lot has happened while I've been gone. A lot good, some bad. One amazing thing that's happened, is that two of my favorite mangas have now been made into an anime!! Kamisama Hajimemashita and Say I Love You...if you haven't read them, you should totally check them out especially if you're a shoujo manga fan. Other things have happened as well :) I have been going to a lot of church gatherings and it's been so fun. I've made many friends and have made good memories. I also have started baby sitting at church which is like a dream come true for me. I'm still a crazy movie person though!! I watched Horrible Bosses the other day and it was the funniest movie I've seen in awhile. I also watched Jacob's Ladder which is actually something I wish I hadn't watched lol xD....

BUT I need to share a story...it's pretty funny. I was at a health food store with my mom up in Indy, it's an AMAZING store, one of my favorites. Well there were jars of bath salts and they looked so cool. They were scented like peppermint and eucalyptus and things like that...well the one I happened to pick to smell without reading the label with Menthol...EWWWWW. Omigosh it burned and my mom laughed so hard. It was kinda funny though, I admit. Another thing that has happened is that I've gotten attached to Korean dramas and music~ they have good stuff. The dramas are so romantic!! The movies are amazing too and the music is so hip hoppy :D Asians really know what they are doing, I'll tell ya that. I've also beat Zelda!!! The new one, Skyward Sword. One of the BEST games I've ever played to be honest. I hope they make a million more. I've also gotten addicted to that new site Pinterest...if you're prone to addiction like me, NEVER go to that site lol. Amazing site, too addictive.

Just put 2 songs on this paragraph!!! EVERYONE has heard Gangnam style, I'm sure. It blew up, went everywhere, everyone's heard it!!! I started hearing people singing this Korean song and I was baffled. Then I saw the video lol. The dance is so funny. I can do it pretty well ;) The other song is by a group called BEAST or B2ST. I love them <3 They have amazing music, not to mention they are HOT. A lot of the boy bands in South Korea are hot guys (: I'm often told that they look like girls though...it scares me that I never see it lol. Also watch the video of the gorgeous girl lol...her name is Hyuna. She's pretty amazing. so pretty!!!!!!! I've been told that she's had a lot of plastic surgery though, but I won't discriminate her because of that. Another Korean person I need to show you is...BAM Kim Hyun Joong :D The hottest guy EVER. Plus I've heard that in real life, he's actually a down to earth guy. That's a major plus <3 I only speak the teeniest bit of Korean though, so I know it's not mean to be :( I will surely find my dream man out there some day though. I have to say, I am very attracted to Asians. hehe (: Ah!! I also found this Korean show called "Thank you for waking me up" ~ it's very weird lol. It's about someone going and waking up a famous South Korean person...it's really funny, but I think it's a bit exaggerated. But then again a lot of "reality" TV shows are ;D this has been a lot of typing for one who hasn't been on a blog in awhile...so I think I'm gunna stop here :) if anyone read this, thanks!! I appreciate it. Over and out!!!

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone :D The picture I've put on here has nothing to do with St. Patty's, but I found it today and it was just so funny so I'm putting it on here instead of a holiday picture xD But seriously, ouch. Whoever had the camera caught this moment perfectly lol. My post is later today because I wasn't feeling too well today. I'm also reconsidering posting every day. I love posting but not much happens in my life and sometimes there's not much to talk about and I end up rambling, which is always boring for people to read. 

But I do have something to talk about in this post - last night I watched Bright Star, one of the movies I got at the library. It was amazing, but so sad. It was a true story about John Keats. I never knew him before I watched the movie but I'm glad I know about him now - his story and his poems are amazing. The movie was basically about a love that he had and also about his poem career which wasn't really a career at the time because no one bought his poems or particularly liked them. He had no money to his name and he was in debt and in the end (SPOILER ALERT) he died thinking that he was a failure. But nowadays he's famous for his romantic poems...it's amazing how things pan out in the end isn't it? It was super romantic and sweet and a bit funny and not nasty at all like most romance movies out today...I gave it 7 stars.
  

I love movies based on the 1800's...

especially when they're romantic...

They're so cute together ♥♥♥

I have been reading a lot of manga lately...right now I'm reading like a million different ones...I can tell you some of them in case you want a romantic high? ;]

Say I love You - soooooo cute and sweet and the artwork is beautiful ♥

Wild Ones - a hilarious manga with such a cute couple and an awesome storyline ;D

Five - this ones super funny as well and adorable.

Dengeki Daisy - I'm sure almost every manga reader has heard of this title...if you haven't check it out!! It's super slow but really funny and adorable - mostly funny thought.

Kamisama Hajimemashita - a long manga but I've loved it since the first page.

Akagami no Shirayukihime - seriously the sweetest and most beautiful manga ever...it's sooo romantic!! 

Kare First Love - I'm reading these from the library..I'm on the 9th book ;]

Here's some pictures from Wild Ones...you can see how cute and funny it is ;D I love manga. =3=

Oh but I have also been playing a lot of Castleville on Facebook ;D I'm seriously addicted to their games. Pet Society and Petville and Farmville and The Sims Social and Fishville...I've played a lot of them. They're super fun but super annoying as you need a lot of friends to play it to progress quickly in the game. You always have to ask your friends for things on Castleville and it's so annoying D: but it's too addictive..I can't quit. Too fun..........

And I'm going to close this post now because it's thundering :D I love storms...they're so calming and fun~~!!! And I love the sound of rain♥♥♥

Thanks for reading or skimming or whatever you did ;D

Have an awesome day and sleep well my lovely (2) readers ;D

Today was an extremely eventful day! I went on a field trip with a group of home schooled kids (I used to be home schooled and my brother and sister are home schooled, so I tagged along.) and we went to the city hall and police department. And the reason I have these Japanese dolls as my main picture is because in the city hall they had a display of Hinamatsuri dolls. The picture is from google, I didn't take it, but the dolls and display looked exactly like this one. Girl's day is coming soon in Japan so that's why they put them there. I thought it was really cool that they did that.

But anyways...we went on a tour of city hall which was boring for me because I really don't care all that much about government stuff as it is just too complicated and flawed in a lot of ways in my opinion. The lady that led the tour was really nice though. I liked her shirt.

Oh but we did see the mayors office! I thought that was cool. Her desk was quite messy though...I wish I could clean it for her. Then I could tell all my friends that I cleaned the mayor's desk!! :D

The police station was the best though!! Police officers are so nice :D The guy that led the tour was a police officer and he told us about his belt which is my favorite thing to learn about. He had a taser and a gun and a baton and pepper spray and all sorts of epic weapons :D He has even been tased and pepper sprayed and he said it hurts really bad haha ;D I'll take his word on that. 

 

For my readers an educational short video on tasers :D Watch all of it though cause in the 

end a news reporter gets tased ;D ouch. 

After we went on our field trip we went to the park and I tried to feed a squirrel a saltine cracker. I don't understand why he kept running away. I was being very kind sharing my crackers with him.

But tonight will be a movie night!! I am exited. I got new movies at the Library - Did You Hear About the Morgans?, Bright Star, The Confessor, and Flipped. They all seemed pretty good. I think I'll watch The Confessor first. My brother also got Hoodwinked Too and I'm sure it's gunna be great. Hoodwinked number one was really funny.

Another thing is I've been watching a lot of Saturday Night Live and it's so funny ;D It can be really disgusting though let me tell you. But I think that's what makes it so funny ;D

Please enjoy this clip from SNL ;D I'm warning you though it's super gross~~super.gross.

Hahahaha. Well I'm gunna close this post now as today is another very lovely day. I think I'll go for a bike ride. 

Thanks for reading or skimming or whatever you did ;D

Have a awesome day!! :D

Last night was another movie night and I watched a movie that my mom recommended...My Best Friend's Wedding. I didn't want to watch it at first because it looked boring and it was old but I'm glad I watched it. It was really good! I gave it 7 stars ;] You see I have a list of movies that I've watched from November 2011 to this day and the list is 3 pages long lol ;D

But what can I say, I love my movies. I have seen some really bad ones though. The Last Exorcism, Insidious, and many others have my rating on 2-3 stars. And it's funny, because most of the movies that suck in my opinion are horror movies. I guess people just keep on attempting to make scarier films but they end up being more crappy. Paranormal Activity I thought was good and pretty scary although all my friends thought it was gay lol. It is a complete classic and even though the digital effects suck, it still remains on the top of my horror movie list. 


Another thing I'd like to say is that Pinterest is awesome. They have the coolest ideas and the most amazing pictures. You have to be invited by someone to join, but other than that it's too cool. Check it out - Pinterest.com


 

I found the picture above on pinterest and it's awesome. As you all know I want to travel the world, but Japan is first on my hit list. Seeing this picture is enough to get me super exited. Japan is so cool :D

I feel devastated about what's going on there though and I pray for everyone's well being. There is an area in Japan which I sure you all know, but it is completely vacant. There's no one there because if they lived there they would get sick or die because of the radiation levels. The Tsunami from the earthquake destroyed a Nuclear plant and that's what caused the spread of the radiation. I just heard yesterday on the news that they had an earthquake in Tokyo...I'm really worried because the island of Japan isn't on a stable part of the earth D:

What if one day the island just drifts away or sinks? Japanese people are so kind they don't deserve that D: Plus their country is so beautiful..  

Ah and talking about Japan's devastation as reminded me - would you please go to this site? Freerice.com 

It's an amazing site where they ask you vocab questions and for each one you get right, they donate rice to nations without food. I know it sounds boring, but it's kinda fun and it's a good cause. So consider it your good deed of the day :]

Well today is an extremely lovely day so I think I'm going to close this post and go outside ;]

Thanks for reading or skimming or whatever you did ;D

Have a lovely day my non-existent readers!! ;D

Oh man, I watched Julie and Julia last night and it was AWESOME. I've always liked cooking, so maybe I'll get into some culinary classes? 

But yesterday I went to the ice skating rink (My sis had a class) and I really think I want to start skating again. I skated for 8 years and then quit...I wish I hadn't but I was just so stressed out trying to find out who I was supposed to be and all that teenage fun stuff (sarcasm) 

But really...It was so fun. Not only did I have something to brag about, but it always made me feel better. But I think I'll take it slow and not rush into it like everything else (hah) and just try to get a job there. I thought maybe I could be a guard. Basically all you have to do is skate around in a giant circle along with all the other skaters (during public skate time) and help anyone up if they fall. Sounds easy enough.

But getting a job has been important to me lately. I think I mostly want one so I can wake up in the morning and tell people, "Well, going to work now. Behave yourselves." Sounds silly haha, but I've always wanted to say that ;]

Something I've been really really exited about though is Easter!! And Easter usually comes with a trip to Kentucky to see all my country folks. Plus in Kentucky they have the biggest and cutest grasshoppers like the one above. Isn't he adorable? 

I remember when I was small I would hunt for eggs in my grannies backyard and it was so fun!! And although I have not stopped dressing up for Halloween even though I'm 17 and people say I'm too old, I think I am too old for hunting for eggs unless it's a super hard egg challenge (which I hope our family can have sometime! I mean come on, grown ups need to have some fun too right?) Nowadays I think focusing on the real meaning of Easter instead of plastic eggs and artificial candy is more important and I'm proud that I know I should. Some of my teen friends still think that egg hunting and goodie baskets are the real gold in Easter.

I remember at a church I went to when I was younger we got to drink vinegar from a sponge (not sure if this was healthy haha but it got the message across) and we were able to understand how cruel people were to Jesus. I mean that stuff was nasty! I think a lesson like that should come first and then the egg hunt.

Another part of Easter I love is the crafts!! I love making things. I thought maybe I'd make these for some kids at my church as well as my family.

If you want to make them, here's the page where I found them at -

Oh but St. Patty's comes before Easter so make sure you wear green ^_~

Have an awesome day my nonexistent readers ;D
