If I could be on any gameshow....

I would be on a Korean game show called Star King. The host looks weird, but he is really hilarious. His name is Kang Ho Dong, who stars in a lot of variety shows. The two I know of are called Strong Heart and Star King. Star King is more of an interactive show in comparison to Strong Heart. I also love the television effect they have in Korea, which make the show seem funnier than what it was originally. The technology is clear and impressive, from a horizontal water sister that spells words and characters to how much high definition is present. This show really makes one wonder what the limit to HD is. In the show there are a variety of Korean celebrities that sit down and interact with international and other Korean celebrities. The show i truly entertaining. I would want to go there for two reasons: to witness the random antics and to attempt a "Korean" laugh.
*The Korean laugh in Korean variety shows involve a strong laugh, the clapping o the hands, and random motions of the body.

The best thing about my home

The one thing I like about my home is the love we have for one another. When one grows up with the same people for 16 year they would develop love, care, and protection for their family. I know I can trust everyone in my house because we all appreciate what we do for one another. This does not mean we are the stereotypical, happy family with the smiles and grins floating to and fro. We are normal in comparison to that. My family does have this generous aspect, where we would easily give things to one another, as long as they are useful, beneficial, vital. Occasionally, a favors come up, though this is mainly subjected towards our guests. They give our friends food, car rides, and sweets. They have made my friends feel guilt, but that is just the way they were raised. They see it as a normal thing acquaintances do for one another (so do not feel guilt Alice and T-San). They are just good people, that I trust and appreciate. They may be overly generous for me at times, but I am glad I inherited that trait. When I carry money to school, and its more than what I need, I feel it is just right to buy something for a friend. My parents would not mind, they would have done the same thing. I thank god for sending me to a family that is generous, kind, loving, caring, and trusting.

Working at a Football Stadium

A job I would definitely have if I were an employee at a football stadium would be a ticket sales person. I would complain and quit the job if I were to work in the scorching heat. As a ticket sales person, I get my own little box, a computerized ticket selling machine, and a uniform. I would also encounter new faces everyday. I have my own benefits in having my own box. I would customize this box to my likings, to make it feel less cramped. Day by day I would make fun of the employees who have to endure the heat (in my mind at least). Not only that, but as an employee I have to get paid. Being paid to handle ticket sales in a box does not seem like a hard job. It may be time consuming, but i would consider this on the part time job list I have been building throughout the years. Overall, it is not a terrible job; it is simple and empowering.

Four Years Ago

If I could describe myself four years ago I would have to say... I was different. I was shy in comparison to how I am now. I still get stage fright, but now I see it more as an anxious feeling, rather than a nervous sort of feel. I was unsure, back then, of what I wanted to do. Now I know I can major in my passion, and minor and my mini passions. Now I trust less individuals, only those close to me, which is why I tend to have only a "one time" conversation or encounter with a few humans. I must admit, back then I knew more math, now I have to regain some of that knowledge. I am aggressive in comparison to how I was. In fact my friends say I am the dominant one in my relationship with Danny. I got taller, so now I can reach the higher shelves. I can type faster, back then I was super slow (until I had to type for M.E.S.A.) I am a Super Junior fan, where as back then I did not know anything about international talents. I am aware of my surroundings now, meaning that I am no longer a piece of hay, but rather a needle. I am not confused, or as gullible as I was back then. I "evolved" into a different being, that is pretty much it. An individual I would have looked up to back then.

Would a monkey be a good pet?

The real question is: "Why wouldn't a monkey make a good pet?" A monkey would not harm unless properly educated by their owners. Such is the case, as stated in some animal movie, "There are not bad dogs, only bad owners." That being said, it is easy to say that a monkey would not be violent, if and only if, the owner treats it with love, care, and remembers to feed it often. Monkeys and chimps are different creatures that have tails, and belong to the same family of species. They are not the same! Chimps are weird, monkeys are the cute ones. The one who exceeds in "aigoo" (cute in Korean; known as "kawaii" in Japan) would have to be the spider monkey. It is tiny, and can fend for itself. All an owner must do is feed it, love it, bathe it and BAM! it would remain yours. An owner must take into consideration that a monkey would get lonely, so I would get a monkey companion for it. Eventually, I'll experiment if a monkey is able to get along with other creatures, then I'll practically have a mini zoo in my backyard. I do not mind this because a monkey can feed itself once it gets older, respect their owner, and can play as well. It is practically a dog who can climb trees!

Youngest Person I know

The youngest person I know is my brother, Wilbert. He is thirteen years old, and currently in his 8th grade year in middle school. He is cuddly, temperamental, tall, and generous. Not to mention the fact that he thinks more maturely than me. My friends compare him to Taemin of SHINee, only because of the haircut he has now. I bet in a few years he is going to be the tallest one in our family. Like my mother and sister, he is smart common sense wise. School wise he is average for now. Alot of his gestures are random, but he is still a perfectionist. He cleans his room more than my sister and I do. He is also well-organized, and friendly to our family's acquaintances. He does annoy me, but that only occurs after my El Camino classes, when I am tired, hungry, and sleepy. Other than that, I have received great feedback on him. One was by my friend T-San, where she stated that he would make a great husband someday. I agree, but as of now I am glad he is enjoying his freedom and not thinking about relationships.

Oldest Person I Know

The oldest person that I know well would have to be my mother. She is wise with life lessons, which helps her out when she gives advice. She also is repetitive, meaning that if she asks us to clean up our room she would come in through the door five times until we clean up our room. Her repetition is the only negative factor, only because repetition is one of my pet peeves. Education-wise, she is pretty basic. I blame her sister for this only because she was the factor that motivated my grandfather to take all his daughter's out of school. The males had the chance to get an education, but they did not like it so they quit. She is one of the most giving people I know. She always is generous to our guest, including my friends, who leave our house with tons of food. She is a great mother, and she cares for each of her children equally. She is cuddly and has lots of love to share, which means it is really difficult to dissatisfy her. Once she is dissatisfied, that marks and end to a bond. She is my mother and I honor, respect, and love her dearly.

"The Bat Who Couldn't Fly"

There once was a bat who could not fly. His name was Shin Dong. He lived amongst 13 other bats who each flew before he did. He was going to wed a fellow bat named Nari in just a few months, but wanted to impress her with flight. Nari knew he could not fly but she loved him anyways. The other bats tried to help him out, but their advice was the simple "Flap your wings". Shin Dong thought it was his weight that kept him from flying, and it was. You see at birth, Shin Dong's parents cut the tips of his wings so he could follow their family tradition. The tradition was to gain strength in flight, even though a bat's weight would be the factor of difficulty with flight. Turns out, the tips of the bat's wings were the one's that gave a bat balance in flight, so his parent's did not make things easy for him.
Every night, Shin Dong tried to fly but his weight made him fall. He always fell into the same tree. Poor Shin Dong, how many times will he get injured until he learns how to fly?
Believe it or not, there was a secret that his family kept from him. Most bats flew but his family was able to glide in the wind, all he had to do was follow the wind.
While he was sleeping during the day, Shin Dong noticed something. This was the mistake he had been doing all his year in attempting to fly. He would ask bats who did not have their wing tips cut off. When he woke up form his slumber, he went to his grandmother for flying advice. She simply said, "Glide with the wind Shin Dong."
"Glide with the wind?... What the hedge is that supposed to mean" Shin Dong thought, and with that piece of advice he left his grandmother's cave. "Glide?... hmmm glide..." this thought kept repeating in Shin Dong's head. He was walking toward his cave, when a group of bat bandits came to bully him. He seemed to be their target, since he was the only bat incapable of flight. Their names were S.S.5.0.1.  Shin Dong screeched for help from his friends, but they were nowhere in sight. They flew around him, making fun of him. Shin Dong could not take it any more. He got his wings and attacked all the bats, until each of them were against a cave wall. He then took his grandmother's advice, and he was gliding like he had never done before. He realized it was the same as flying but he had to work with the wind.
He flew over to Nari's cave to tell her the good news. She was delighted to see him flying, but he simply said that he was gliding, not flying. With that said, they flew together into the night. 

My Journey on a Pirate Ship


How did I wake up in a Pirate Ship? Why are we in a candy room? I woke up confused and in a daze. Next to me were my friends Alice and T-San. We all looked confused. We began to talk so we can get flashbacks of what really happened. Turns out that we were in a cruise on a ship. Then, a group of whale decided to attack the ship. I guess we were in their territory or something. Eventually, the ship shut down and we were all forced to evacuate. Luckily, T-San, Alice, and I managed to escape on "life boat". In the lifeboat, there were survival supplies and food. Days went by and our supplies began to shorten. I was glad to be stranded with them of all people in the ocean because we kept ourselves entertained with SHINee, Super Junior, and Big Bang songs. 
That night, we did not notice that we managed to drift near the South Korean Sea. We were tired so we just fell asleep, and woke up in a candy room on a ship. 
When we were greeted by Siwon, T-San and I had a fangirl moment. Alice simply called him a douche. It was a good thing he did not understand that word as he still has some English to learn. He told us that we drifted on a lifeboat near the Sea where they were making a Summer Pirate Music Video. We asked him who was in the music video, and he said that it was a Super Junior, SHINee, and Big Bang collaboration.
Turns out these three K-pop groups were split into three different "pirate" ships, to film different scenes for their music video. The ship we drifted by was one used by Donghae, Siwon, Leeteuk, Taemin, Minho, Taeyang, and G-Dragon. 
They were nice enough to let us watch them film their shoot, and we felt all high and mighty with our V.I.P. Passes. They all agreed to pay for our plane tickets back home, even though we did not want to leave Korea that soon. We did eat Korean Steak. It is thin in comparison to the steak we have here in America. It is served raw, but you cook it on a little grill placed on the table. Once the meat is cooked, there are a bunch of little side dishes that really compliment the meat well. You put the meat into a little sheet of lettuce and add the sides you favor. Being in South Korea was an unforgettable experience for us, especially due to the fact that we saw our favorite Kpop stars face to face. Before leaving we did manage to get their autographs. 
On the plane back home, we all admitted that the pirate music video was kind of weird, but the song for the video was catchy.

Painting My Room

It happened last year. I was in a car accident where my body flinched forward, and the car was spinning out of control until all I saw was white. When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed covered in bandages. I was confused and everything seemed to be moving slow. My family was there, all worried if I was okay. The doctor clarified everything, and said that everything was fine. I was released from the hospital two days later.
When I went back to school, my close friends were worried and asked me where I was. Apparently, news had spread that I was in a car accident. I simply clarified thing by saying everything was fine and it was until I was in class. I tried to focus, but the material did not stick with me as much as it used to before. Instead, I began to doodle in my notes and found out that the car accident enhanced my artistic side. I still could learn the material at school, but only with the reading portions assigned for homework. I did not fail any classes, as usual so my parents did not get worried. It was not until I showed my mother a few of my drawings that she realized how artistic I was. She showed my drawings to my father, when he came home from work. I was asleep as usual, so I did not notice that they were discussion on whether or not to let me further my skills. The main question was how? It turns out that my mother came up with the idea to let me paint my room. They decided to announce the good news to me the next morning. I was happy that they allowed me to paint the room, but I wanted to check if it was okay with my sister. She gave me her consent, only if I could paint her side with something she would not be disturbed seeing. Based on her request, I painted a cute cartoon version of super junior on my side, and on her side I put aesthetically pleasing things such as cookies, flowers, and cute animals. I did not want to paint the whole room because I was tired. with my creation, but I did borrow templates online for ideas.
This was on my side.

This was on her side.
Yes, I like cute things its hard not to. (There are cute things, and creepy cute things even I have cute limits)

Lunch with a Famous Person

Originally, I was going to choose all 13 members from Super Junior plus the 2 Chinese members from Super Junior M. I change my mind when I realized it was going to cost alot, and it would be hard to talk to all of them at once. Then, I narrowed it down to Kim Kibum. The reason for this decision was because he has not been performing with Super Junior to further his acting career, so I want to know what projects he has worked on. I am a fan but I do not know everything about them, that is just too creepy for me. I would ask him on his experiences and if he still keeps contact with Super Junior. Other than that I would just want to get to know him as a person. He is one of those famous people that tend to avoid the spotlight in order to keep a private life. No scandals, no accidents, etc. It would be interesting and if possible it would be nice if he could rap there, but I doubt he would do that during dinner. He seems like a nice guy, but tends to shy away from the spotlight.
The last acting project I saw on YouTube was Jumunjin. He co-starred with the woman in the picture, but his character was in love with a ghost. The girl helped him I guess. It was a really good movie, even though I saw it under bad quality and a little bit of English translations.

Siblings

I have a younger sister and a younger brother. They are both taller than me. They are one of a kind siblings, I know what they are like but I'm terrible at describing people. If I had the option of whether or not to have them, I would keep them. I prefer them over any other perspectives of a "perfect sibling". My sister, Kelly Ceballos, is a great cook, wise (even though she pretends that she is not), and athletic/healthy. My brother, Wilbert Ceballos, is funny, considerate, cuddly. They are great when it comes to entertainment. I have shared many years, and have taken the role as a leader when it comes to being a balance beam. They are strong characters, which is why they occasionally butt head with each other. Somehow I always end up being the one they go to when one is mad at the other. When they get over it, they still see me as the balanced one. Its weird, but even I know I am the "balance board". I seem to be the knowledgeable and loveable one. I do not consider them a burden, and even if I get mad at them I get over it fast. It is impossible to hold a grudge on them, they always make it up with their talents and innocence. I am truly proud that God gave me such wonderful siblings. ^o^

These were the picture of them in the computer at the time.

Desired Pet

If I could have any animal as a pet, it would be a spider monkey. I always wanted some thing furry and tiny so this is the animal I want to form a bond with. I would name it Eunhyuk because that's the name of the Suju member who is known by the nickname "monkey". I have only seen them eat fruit on the television, so that will be what I'll feed it. It will learn tricks, and I would plant some trees in the backyard where it can learn tricks. Eventually, the monkey will get lonely so I would get monkey buddies for it. Then I would buy a dog to see if it could bond well with a monkey. If that works out then I would probably end up having a mini animal zoo at my house. I would not care of the cost of maintaining them because if one is really meant to do or have something, the world will work to help them out. It is a strange theory but it has worked for me this far. I found connections at El.co with people who either want to go to the university I want to go, or know of someone who goes there.

My Deepest Fear

I realized what my deepest fear is last year. Having Mr. Cain as a teacher would have to be one of the most challenging and life-changing experience I went through. In his class, he assigned the book "It" written by Stephen King. This was the largest book I in all the years I've been in school, but it does tie into some of life's thematics. One night, after reading it, I was trying to fall asleep. (Well, I dreamt I was trying to sleep). Then on the foot of my bed I saw a tiny silver light. Turns out it was just the moon reflecting its light on the quarter. The quarter made a tiny 'ping' noise as it hit the side of my ma tress. As I approached the coin, I found out it wasn't a coin, but a silver dollar. After reading it, I freaked out because this was an item that the children used to harm "it". Then on the side I heard my sister growling. She jumped out of her covers and her eyes were a glowing grayish white light. Her teeth were sharp, and she had "it's" voice. She was mocking me and making a sinister deep laugh. Then, out of thin air, I was face to face with her. I screamed. I felt cold air hit the surface of my face. I began to sweat and my heart was beating fast. She then was behind me. It took me a while to realize that she was possessed by "it". It was making her teleport fast. Then I felt a chill near my ear, and my first thoughts were "Oh no, fudge it's behind me!" I began to pray for my well being and my sister's recovery. Then there was silence, pure silence. In my dream, I woke up to see everything was fine and that my sister was still asleep. Then, underneath my bed I heard a sinister male voice whisper the words "Float... float.. float" followed by laughter.  That was when I actually woke up from the dream, and realized it was still 2:00 a.m. The setting looked exactly as the one in my dream, so i hid inside the covers and curled into a ball until I fell asleep.
This dream made me realize my fear is to have my loved ones get possessed by evil. I would never want to be in a situation such as the one in my dream again.

My Restaurant

As a food connoisseur, this was not the first time I have planned on making a restaurant. First, I would design it, exterior and interior wise. Once I am settled on a theme, I would hire people to work there. Family would be hired, since my sister is considering taking part in the culinary business. I would see the employee's ability, their cooking style, and expertise. The menu would change, every now and then so the chefs have an advantage to experiment new techniques. I would also make the restaurant more "buffet like", simply because having a menu will not satisfy my food goals. Cuisine wise, the food would vary from different parts of the world (I would list them but i want to keep this post consistent). There would be a person in the front that will seat the people at a table, give them plates and utensils, and let them know that they can go to the buffet. I want the restaurant to have a semi-formal feel. This is all I'm stating as of now because if I go any further someone may take my ideas. I'm only vague about the restaurant (and its name) because I'm going to try to be a restaurateur in the future, right after a career in architecture and food journalism/criticism.

Dinosaur in My Backyard

It was 6:30 a.m. My dad knocked the door to wake my sister and me up. I decided to sleep an extra few minutes because I was tired for my El.co classes. Fifteen minutes passed until I woke up to a roar outside. I stood upright from my sleep and ran towards the window to see what made that noise. I looked out and saw a big eye blinking at me. I was in shock until I heard Super Junior's "Sorry, Sorry" play in the background. I got my glasses from my backpack and noticed that there were people dancing outside. At first I was excited to see them that close. Then, I got a clear view and found out it was just a hologram. M y hopes were shot down but I decided to go downstairs to see if I can at least have the hologram. I ran outside in my pyjamas, keys, and socks. It was cold! I still wanted the hologram so I ran towards the dinosaur. Outside, I noticed it wasn't a real dinosaur, but a robotic one. In the distance, I saw a weird looking scientist in the background controlling the robot. I asked him if I could have the hologram and he said only if I gave him three dollars. I yelled at my bedroom window and asked my sister to throw three dollars outside. She heard me, but she couldn't find the money. "It's in the Hello Kitty Organizer!" I yelled the second time. She responded with a simple "Okay..."
Once I had the money, I paid this scientist the money.  As he was giving me the hologram, I asked him what was he doing there in there first place. He responded, "It was your wish." I looked around because I was beginning to feel uneasy. When I looked back he was gone. "Weird..." I thought "but now I have a Suju hologram ^o^".

Family Meal

     If I were to cook a meal for my family it would be a simple meal that can easily stuff them. This is only because I do not want to spend hours laboring in the kitchen and I have little cooking experience so this would be a laborious task for me anyway. For the appetizer course I would make bacon wrapped scallops because I never tried them. To make this appetizer I need 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/4 of a teaspoon of hot peppers, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of freshly chopped ginger (this could be grated but chopping it make it easier), 1 teaspoon of chopped lemon grass, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 12 large sea scallops, 12 thin slices of bacon, and 24 wooden toothpicks soaked in water. From there its simple I just combine all of the spices in a bowl and toss the scallops in there to soak up all those good flavors. The recipe (yes i need recipes) then calls for an hour to wait for those round things to marinate and then they are patted so they will not slip through the bacon process. In the bacon process the scallops are simply wrapped at their side and are held by two toothpicks at opposite ends so the bacon will not fall off. (p.s. the toothpicks are soaked only because heat causes a fire when mixed with dry wood).
     For the entree, I would make a baked eggplant with cheese (Italian-style) because my sister is a vegetarian. Plus I do not want to deal with the hassle of cooking meat, veggies are simpler to cook. This entree requires 7 evenly sliced eggplants, 1 large beaten egg, 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 12 sliced mushrooms, 1 (14-ounce) can chunky tomato sauce, 6 thin slices tomato, 8 (1-ounce) slices mozzarella.The first step is to dip eggplant slices in egg and then in the bread crumbs. Next, I would heat olive oil in skillet, which would later brown eggplant lightly on both sides. Then I would have to arrange the eggplant in a buttered 12x7 inch baking dish. After that, I add the salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley and sliced mushrooms. Finally, I would pour tomato sauce over casserole, which is then topped off with tomato slices and then cheese slices.
Once the eggplant parmesian is prepared, I will have to bake it until the cheese is melted.

     For dessert, I would remake the cake my brother and sister made in the past. Its a banana cake mized that follows the instructions on the box. The cake is then baked until it is cooked. Afterwards, you add sweetened condensed milk to the cake and let it soak for an hour or more. Then, you frost it with cool whip, so the frosting does not over power the balance on flavors. After that you decorate the sides with almonds and the top with baked coconut. It truly is a good cake, simple and light. That way you do not feel as though you are going to burst after the meal.


     Beverage-wise, people can drink water of milk with the dessert. For the appetizer, I think water is suffice. For the entree it is up to one's taste buds, but it can vary from soda, lemonade, punch and water. It really is up to them, I would just set the table and let them choose what they want to drink.

One Time I was Brave (fiction)

I went to Seoul, South Korea over the summer and tried to apply for a job. I never had one, and since I had nothing else to do I went on the "job hunt". I kept searched online and also saw some ads that were out on display but I did not know how to speak Korean. I was began to loose all hope, until I saw a sign at a restaurant with the name  Chonggak Dong. In big blue words it stated: SM Town Now Hiring Bodyguard. I was relieved that I found a decent job, but I doubted whether or not I was going to get the job. This was only because I did not have any body guarding skills. When I got to the place all i saw was a big gray building, but I went in anyway. I walked in through a lighted hallway with blue walls and saw a door with the same sign I saw outside. My first instincts were to go inside, but I was afraid that someone would kick me out.  Then I see this big man walking towards my way I saw his head It was bald, and he asked me what I was doing there. I just stood there in shock, I did not know what to say, so I pointed to the sign. After that, he gestured me to go on in the room and with his consent I went in. I looked around the room and was surprised that no one else showed up. I then began to wonder why, I thought either I was not going to get paid enough or I would be mistreated as an employee.
     Turns out, the company was desperate to hire someone, so I was hired on the spot. I felt relieved that I got the position, even though I was not interviewed. I was given a uniform, some arms, a license, and my task. Everything I was to wear looked as though it weighed a ton but when I held it was light. I felt high and mighty with this SWAT - like uniform, and felt like I was capable of anything. I was distracted with my uniform, that I lost track of my task. I opened the envelope and I jump and began to scream. I was given the task to be a bodyguard for my favorite Super Junior member: Choi Siwon. I knew I had to keep everything strictly professional so I decided not to go fan girl crazy when I saw him.
     I was star struck when he came out of his dressing room. All he was wearing was normal clothing, a shirt and pants, but that fact that it was him blew me away. He was much taller than me and he thought that the staff played a joke on him by hiring such a short bodyguard. I was offended, but then thought about the fact that he was 6 foot something and I was shorter than that by a long shot. We both greeted and he smiled, I saw him face to face and saw his dimples. The inner fangirl in me was screaming so loud that I felt my ears ringing. I was loosing track on the fact that I was his bodyguard so we greeted each other and I had to protect him from the fans who usually try to rip his clothes off when they see him.
    My duty for the day was to take him safely to the set shooting for his drama series "Oh! My Lady", where he co-starred with ChaeRim. I was actually looking forward to see his acting, until I saw this huge mob approaching from the distance. They were running and I knew what I was in for. I paniced in my mind, but physically I knew I had to protect him at all costs. I managed to block him from all sides with my hard plastic shield, and he was impressed that I was able to do that as a tiny person. Then, in the midst of the crowd I heard someone yell "Hey!" I looked around and saw that it was a man with an anti-suju (super junior for short) shirt. I knew I had to stop him after seeing that he had a gun. I grabbed the tazer out of my back pocket and told Siwon to protect himself from the crowd. He asked why in shock, but I simply told him it was my duty. I crawled underneath the crowd, until I finally reached this anti-fan. I used the tazer and shocked him in the back. He jolted and then I took the gun. I used my walkie-talkie to talk to the cops and have that man arrested. Siwon was dumb founded and thanked me after he came out of his state of shock. The fans left once the police came, because they thought they were going to get arrested. Afterwards, I left the scene with Siwon to go to see him act in his drama "Oh! My Lady." I was entertained with the show and the dramatic tension between ChaeRim and Siwon. I thought they made a cute couple, even though she was older that him.
    Once he was done he asked me how can he every repay me and I asked for an autograph. When we reached the company premises, I was taken by the manager of SM Town and he told me I was fired. I asked why, and all he said is that I did not fulfill my duty as a bodyguard. I was confused until he showed me a picture of Siwon with the plastic shield and I saw myself crawling toward the anti-suju fan. In my head I was cracking up but in person I apologized an let myself out. I decided to tell Siwon the news, and he laughed to. Turns out he saw the picture earlier on the Internet, on the SapphirePearls's blog. He still thanked me in a formal manner, because I saved his life and then said that he still owes me a favor. With that said, we said our goodbyes. I have no regrets of my one day as a body guard and somewhere out there I knew I did a good thing, I saved a life.

Do You Remember?

I remember when the world looked larger.
Where I could have anything I wanted with just imagination.
A simple bear could be a companion.
A simple quarter could fulfill you dreams desires. 
When there were no such things as "cellphones, computers, and such."
When the world you lived in was composed of tiny humans.
What happened?
Time made me old.
I outgrew some people who were taller than me in middle school.
(The majority outgrew me.)
Now dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer are impossible, I outgrew those dreams.
Why?
I hate needles, blood, and defending a human who I only know for a split second.
The world grew larger, there are continents with people in them. 
No longer am I indulged in days when homework was less complicated, or nap time was considered part of class.
Now I am forced to accept of myself as an older being, mature, wiser, and with less freedom.
But...?
I can still reminisce in memories of my past, where I was young, and create new memories as I get older.

Daily Journal 1 - $100 dollars

If I found $100 dollars and had to donate it to a cause it would go to the Humane Society of the United States, or some local animal shelter. The reason for this is because I love animals. My two puppies shed me the light, when it comes to other living creatures. Sure we are human, but animals are not beneath us they have a soul, a heart, and with that comes emotions. They know when they get hurt and feel pain, and some of them are still loyal to their pathetic owners, who only see them as a "pet" while others see them as a companion.These people help lost of mistreated animals, and there are no such things as bad pets, only bad owners. If the owner did nothing to tend for it then the animal had no choice but to attack the human, it was not taught any better. Honestly some humans have some major issues if they have nothing else to do with their life but torturing these animals.

SM Town 2010

     It was an unforgettable performance. Artists from Korea came to perform here at the Staples Center. I must admit I was mainly cheering for Super Junior, but as a Suju fan what else is expected. They look better in person, and there were random acts of acting, playing musical instruments, singing, and dancing. The Staples Center was packed with fans, I did not even expect that much fans in L.A. The artist seemed a little shy though, I guess it is because its their first time performing in L.A. Before the concert the obsessed crazy fans did manage to creep me out. They made it seem as though they would die if they didn't get inside. The performers had a cute English accent, but Siwon's was the unforgettable one for me. The screams left my ears weak.
   Fan wise, I would have to say that mainly guys cheered for the girl groups. I only cheered when I knew the lyrics to a song. The girls behind me were high - pitched, so my ears were "bleeding" in the first 30 minutes of the concert. The songs had great choreography and i was surprised to find out I knew most of it. I must admit the artists looked better in person with their fair skin and well-prepared outfits. The highlights of the show included the kiss between Henry and Heechul, the couples that held each others hands to romantic songs (ZhaoMi & Luna, Kyuhyun & Seohyun, and Kangta & Ara). The dance and the rap compilations were the most surprising. There were remixed to original songs that the fans enjoyed. Next time, I'm taking a glow stick because in the dark, balloons do not stand out.
