For now ill just study hard and aim for the high grades. Wish me luck on the regents guys!!

Rima Fakih Scandal

The brand new miss America has been busted, so you're wondering what she did right??? Did she rob a bank, leak a sex tape, is she really a male, or is she an ex con with a very bad rep?? NO, Rima is being scrutinized and talked crap about because she had once upon a time entered a strip tease contest for a local radio station, in which she did not actually strip, it was a strip tease just for fun. The whole world is going ballistic about this and act as if she committed murder! There are past Miss America winners who have done far worser things, and they get off the hook easily than how Rima is being classified now. These pageant judges want a perfect saint like girl who can also take raunchy and whorish like pictures for the pageant, in which others are saying the pictures for the pageant are more worse than the pole dancing pictures. To me, these judges seem so ironic and hypocritical to me, and are also contradicting their morals and policies of the pageant. I just don't get it. Rima is innocent and she is a human just like everyone else, they should all just leave her the heck alone.

hey

I am so sleepy and tired today, this morning I could not force my eyes to open, i kept telling my alarm 5 more minutes, 5 more minutes please, lol. I had crazy guests over yesterday and i went to sleep late because they left really late. In other news, i ordered my new pink dell laptop, but it never came, I have been waiting for a week and the store people keep saying that specific colored laptop is out of stock. Why does that color only get sold so fast, i love pink, it's my favorite color so that's why I have to have a pink laptop, and I really need one to for my piling projects. I was so disappointed to know that they were out of stock yesterday, that I almost cried at the store, I feel like a pathetic materialist. I should not cry over a laptop while other people don't have food to eat in other countries, that's what I always tell myself when I want some thing that I don't really need. But anyway, I am still waiting and hoping I get it, but that's about it for today.

Project on Editorials

New York Times:

Dear Stanly Crouch,
I believe your opinion on the article called “Wall Street and the Corruption of It” was very true and well said. Finally someone exposed the real truth about the corruption of Wall Street and its greedy ways. In your editorial you discussed that the fall of America’s economy was all because of Wall Street, and I believe that is very true, however in my opinion the fall of the economy is not solely the fault of Wall street, and is maybe the fault of the current war that America has spend 3 trillion dollars on so far, is the main reason for the fall of the economy. If America had that three trillion dollars and have not been in war, America could probably have the most prosperous and abundant country in the world. There would be jobs and money for everyone, instead America spends it all on a pointless war, with the reason of the war swept under the rug. The article was also very reminiscent of a previous one I have read about corruption in Wall Street and, how ones greed leads to anthers distress, and in our case another is a whole country.

New York Post:

Dear Zuhdi Jasser,
I greatly agree with your article called “My Fellow Muslims, We Must Wake Up” on Islam in America. You stated that the Islamist radical terrorists in America do not reflect and portray all Muslims as a whole, but others do unfortunately. I slam is a religion o f peace and kindness and the growing number of Islamic terrorists seem to contradict the religion of Islam. These Islamic radicals were provoked and trained by together terrorists who want to do harm, and brainwash other people to become like them and fill their mind with slander, the only motive of these so called terrorists is anger and pure range, but not based on sane thinking and true justice (peaceful justice) unfortunately. Islam promotes non-violence, but these days extremists are doing the opposite of what Islam teaches, and now more than ever, Muslims should speak the true peaceful words of Islam.



Fox News:

Dear James Pinkerton,
Your article called “You Want Us to Believe You Can’t Use an iPad, Mr. President” on president Obamas technical disabilities was very judgmental. The article was very critical of Obamas skills regarding technology and I think it was kind of shocking as well. You stated that the president of the United States can’t figure out how to use and ipod, or iPad, and claims that it keeps the world too connected to technology, and not that connected to the world. Technology these days is the world, and with a click of a button you can instantly have all the news in the world, through video, audio, or in the text form! I cannot believe that Obama does not know how to use an iPad or even an ipod which has been around or almost ten years. I think a 5 year old can use one, but the 44th president cannot. You also said that Obama is anti technology because he wants to protect some information of the country from the American people, and therefore he wants us to obey his rule, and control the country in a way. I believe this statement is a bit exaggerated and the president is not that nuts to be that totalitarian. Obama is not a dictator, he is a president. Your article seems too wrapped up in you conspiracy rather than actual facts. But on the other hand, who knows what is really behind Obamas ignorance of technology.

Daily News:

Dear Lis Wiehl,
You article called “My Friend, Elena Kegan”, is a great article about our new female supreme court leader, and I very much agree with it. You have stated that Elena Kagan is an absolute gem with excellent qualification. You also stated that she was the first women dean of Harvard Law school, and myself as a feminist love your editorial already. You have praised Elena greatly, and I believe that was very kind of you to do so. Elena Kagan was the third female leader of the Supreme court, and was an amazing Dean of Harvard law. You have also said that your opinion based on Elena was bias because you personally know Elena and have built a friendly relationship with her, however in my opinion your opinion on Kagan is not bias because many other people have also had nothing but praise for her, and had similar comments about her as you did. Your article on Kagan was in fact true and accurate, and I enjoyed reading your editorial.

Comparison: Oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico:

Fox News: “Agencies to Hold Oil Spill Probe Hearing Tuesday”
New York Times: “Sex Drugs & the Spill”

© Both articles discussed the proper facts of the oil spill, ex: amount of gallons spilled, location, where, and when incident happened.

© Both articles stated that the oil spill was like “Obamas Hurricane Katrina”.

© Both article stated when the hearing was going to be, although the New York Times article was more detailed with the information. Fox stated that the delay in the hearing proves how unconcerned Obama is with the oil spill.

© Both articles stated which company was responsible and how the oil spill occurred. Although New York Times states the disorganization of the big oil companies are the main cause of the mishap on the Gulf of Mexico.

What Places I Would Like To Visit Before I Die.

There are many, many places that I would like top visit before I die, and I'm a fanatic for traveling. Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed about hoping on to that airplane, and going someplace that I have never seen, and at hat time, it almost seemed magical, or fictional for me to do such a thing. Now that I am older, I know that I can one day plan a trip to an exotic place that my parents have never heard of, or a place that is well known that everyone has heard of. Traveling is one of my most deepest passions, and the thrill of going to a new place that I have never been to before, and meeting new kinds of people was always my dream, and I hope that one say that dream will turn into a reality. There are many places in the world that I would like to travel, and many different cultures I would like to be encountered with, but I do have a select few of countries that I am more eager to see first.

One of the countries that I want so desperately to see is Japan. The island of Japan always intrigued me and fascinated me ever since I can remember. Me knowing that a little island of Japan can have such natural beauty, and yet be so industrialized/urbanized really interested me. When I was eight or nine, I remembered telling my BFF that one day when we were older, we would promise each other that we would go to Japan together. Now more than ever, I still want to keep that promise alive. Another country that I would love to travel to one day id the beautiful India. This Asian country is packed with so much history and culture, and is truly amazing. The ancient country of India had always fascinated me, and seeing the beautiful landmarks like the Taj Mahal gave me another reason to want to go visit India. France is also one of the countries I would like to visit for its traditions/culture, and the beautiful land marks. The Eiffel tower is one of the places in France I would like to visit. What I also like about France is the boat rides that they have in there rivers which seems so adorable to me.

One day I hope to visit these beautiful place, and travel to other place also, but for now I will stay in school, get my education, and hopefully do what I always dreamt of doing..... traveling!!

What Would You Wish For, If You Had One Wish??

If I could wish for anything in the world, I would probably wish that no child in the world goes hungry or cold ever again. Many people in the world, especially children have no food to eat, and are in terrible homeless conditions. This leads to massive starvation deaths and the death rate of children freezing to death is sadly also rising. In poor countries that are war torn, and economically/politically unstable suffer more with this staggering statistic. For example, countries like Darfur, India, Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, and Cambodia have the highest starvation rates than any other countries in the world. When I hear about people especially children, dying of hunger and the weather conditions, it makes me very angry because food should not be that hard to find. I believe that everyone should help out and chip in money and supplies to provider food and shelter for other ccountries. If your neighbor had a fire and lost their food and shelter, wouldn't you go and help them out and give them a place to stay and some meals until they get back on their feet??? That's what Americans and other prosperous countries should do to help out worn tore Afghanistan and Darfur, or Scorching hot African countries, or the infertile countries like Chad or Rwanda. Its not a matter of charity and good deeds, it's a matter of life or death for those poor countries and they need our help. So my wish would be to never have a child go hungry and die of weather conditions like the cold or heat.

If I Had One Day To Live.

If I had only one more day on this planet, I might have a break down and be scared to death about my after life. On my last day I would not go to school of course, and just think about the past, and think about what I had done in my life and think of any sins I have committed. Then, I would just pray, pray, pray, and pray to god to forgive all my sins that I have committed. Then I would call all the people that I love and care about in the world, including friends, family, and even some of my teachers from elementary school. After telling everyone that I will miss them and cared a lot about them, I would then just spend the rest of my day with my family at home. I would also make sure I don't owe any library books because I don't want to have late fees when I am dead. Another important thing that I would do if I had one more day to live is, write my will. I would probably give most of my stuff to my parents and some to my best friends and cousins. After writing my will and telling my friends and family that I was going to die, I think that I would just relax with my family and hope for the best.

What I Would Do With A Million Dollars.

If I had a million dollars I would be the happiest person on earth. I don't want to spen all my money so I would first take a couple of days thinking about what I would do with the money, and carefully plan out what I would like to do with it, and what I need to/should do with the money. After that, I would finally inform my parents about my million dollars and then just tell them about what I would do with my money, and then just give them half of it. If my parents don't approve of my choices to spend my haalf of the money, then I would listen to and follow what they have to say. After all, they are my parents and their intentions are to try to keep me from going broke, and not to spend my money in a day. When it come to money, I think I'm the spender, If i have money I spend it, and if I don't have money I don't care, because I don't need it now, I'm too young. Also, a lot of my money will go toward charities associated with funding education and improving schools and giving supplies to schools in other poor and foreign countries. I believe education is extremely important, and without the proper tools for knowledge and learning, the world would never progress. With a million dollars, I can pay off my parents mortgage, and get a new car for my father because his is getting pretty old. I would also save enough money for college, for myself and for my three younger brothers. I might also get a car for myself because I am sick and tired of riding the bus. Oh yeah, I also want to get my seven year old cousin a pony because she always wanted one and I told her that one day I would get her one. :)

The MVB fashion show is soon approaching, and I can hardly wait. I love fashion, and I always remembered being interested in clothes, and patterns and everything that has to do with fashion. I watch fashion show religiously , and pay attention to every detail of the models clothing. My favorite designers are Karl Lagerfeld, DKNY, Dolce and Gabbana, and Carolina Herrera. I just love their spring/Summer 2010 fashion line, it was so colorful and flamboyant, and the pieces were so chic and wearable for everyday life. Here are some of my favorite pieces and shoes:

SpRiNg BrEaK

TODAY IS 85 DEGREES!! Can you believe it, it feels just like summer. Martin Van Buren students just started school today because sadly our spring break ended. :( The weather outside is the hottest it's been this whole year, and its the first time this year that I don't have a coat on. Everything feels so nice outside and I can feel the school year slowly ending. As I think about school ending, I also think about taking regents, and the test I dread the most.... SAT!!! aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! I believe I'm not that well prepared and I had the whole spring break to do that, but you know me, I watched T.V all day and had fun, I had no desire to do any academic activities, even though I regret not doing it now. But hey you cant be a teen forever so enjoy it while you can. as the warm weather approaches, Six Flags is also on my mind and I dream about the day I will be able to go on King Da Ka with my cousins and friends. Did you know that King Da Ka is the fastest and highest roller Coaster in the whole wide world?? K ow do you know why I want o go on it so badly? I guess I am kind of a dare devil, but I have been that way ever since I can remember. I will never back down from a dare, and I am willing to try anything, that adrenaline rush is what keeps me going. Usually people don't see me as a dare devil, and they picture me as a quite shy person, which I am in school , but when I am with my friends and family, my inner dare devil is unleashed, and I am a different person. lol ;)

Shel Silverstein!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love poetry, and when I was a child , I was obsessed with Shel Silverstein's poems. I spent day and night reading all the poetry books he had written. Some books that he had written were "where the side walk ends", "A light in the Attic", "falling up" and a book called "The Giving Tree". I believe Shel was a true genius of our times, and he was so creative. Its a shame he is not alive today, because his poetry writing gift will be sure missed. Even Today occasionally, I grab one of his books and get lost into the poems he had written. one of my favorite poems by him is called "What If", and I just love it. It truly describes me late at night, when my mind goes wild with the what ifs in my life.

Whatif by Shel Silverstein

Last night, while I lay thinking here,
some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
and pranced and partied all night long
and sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there's poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow talle?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won't bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems well, and then
the nighttime Whatifs strike again!

Love & Friends

I will always be beside you, until the very end
Wiping all your tears away
And being your best friend
I'll smile when you smile
And Feel all the pain you do
And if you cry a single tear
I promise i will cry too!

I found this poem online and i had to share, it's sooo cute , and rhymes too, i love rhyming poems.

Today I was looking into colleges/universities and I get so excited looking at place I would love to attend. However the tuition and fees of thee colleges I look at are soo high, and I wonder how I will pay for all of it. I dont really even have a job yet but I am looking to work in the summer. My parents refuse to pay for my college expenses if I don't work a little, so I'm pretty much on my own if I don't get a job. I have a lot of pressure on me, but I have a feeling that I will still go to the university of my choose regardless of the tuition and fees. I really want to go to Columbia University for my Graduate studies, and maybe NYU-Polytechnic Institute for my undergraduate studies, I really don't know yet , but I am so excited to pursue my life after high school, in college.

Today my parents had jury duty and I had to watch my little brother and baby-sit! I haven't done that in a while, and I missed the first 3 periods of school today, but I just made it in time for Mr. Mulligan’s class, lol. Babysitting is very easy when you get paid, but I would do it for free also because it's very easy. My little brother listens to me, and so it's not that hard to watch him.........yet. Today we also got our progress reports, and my progress report is not that shocking, I think I expected to get the comments I got. I personally like report cards better because some of the comments we get don't really explain what you need to improve in, and they keep me wondering. We will soon be getting our report cards at the end of the year, and junior year for me will be over soon! Can you believe how fast time flies! I will really miss my friends and teachers, but that's life and things change, you can’t stay young forever, but you can be forever young. <3

Just Life

What a gloomy day today. It's the first week of spring and it's so foggy and rainy today, not a good way to start off spring, but at least its not scorching hot.
I am getting closer and closer to taking my SAT and I have never been so nervous in my life and I did not even take the test yet! My guidance counselor is starting to talk more and more about college with me and the reality of me actually going to college is slowly sinking in. I always knew I was going to college, but being so close to going almost makes it surreal. When I was younger, when I heard the words college student, I imagined an older, adult figure kind of person, old enough to be my parent, but know I'm almost going to be a college student! I guess I am getting older, very old, but I need that change, I need to pass the high school phase and finally move on with my life. I can't wait to start my life fresh and brand new, and start all over with a fresh new start.

Half A Day!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever felt like your school had turn into a ghost town? Well today 75% of the students are absent, why? Because it's a HALF-A-DAY!!!!!!!! When I walk to class I feel so free because there are no crowds, and a bunch of people pushing me while we all  scramble to our classes. It's so roomy today and I love it! This school is over populated even though Van Buren has two different kinds of sessions (the late and early), and it's so nice to have a change of population in this school for a day. I wish every day could be half a day, but with the classes of my choice, that would be a dream come true. I hate coming home so late and then being so tired to do anything, but next year I will be a senior and most likely get the early schedule, so I got something to look forward to. 

Fun In the Sun!!

Today the weather is going to go up to the 70's, can you believe that! It's not even spring yet and the weather is this high! I had a very loaded week and I could use some sunshine. During this week I had 3 tests, I completed 20 sheets of homework assignment, I helped my two brothers with their science fair project, and I had done research for my own science fair project!!! Phewwww, that's a lot of work. Summer vacation is soon approaching us and I cant wait to go to Six Flags with my friends and family! I might also go to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina with my family, but I don't really know what I'm going to do. I may have to also get a summer job because I need some cash. My summer will hopefully be packed, but packed with fun activities and not school work! Enjoy the sunshine today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

St.Patricks Day!!!!!!!!!!!

To day is St. Patricks day and the day is amazing. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the temperature is perfect, this day is truly beautiful, and plus it;s my best friends birthday today!!! I knew her since i was 5, and we are still best friends, its funny that her birthday is on this day because she is Irish too! Laura if you're reading this HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! Laura is turning 17 today, we are all growing up sooooo fast.
Spring is just around the corner and i feel the flowers blooming. Don't you just love spring, it's truly a beautiful season, and spring makes me eager for summer. This Saturday I will definitely be doing something with my friends,. I think I might go to the mall and then watch a movie or something, but I m definitely not staying in. I love Springggggg!!!!!

What My Blog is About

The blog spot of my name is called What's Happening?, and the title basically speaks for itself. My blog is a cyber diary of my life. I write about my school life, home life, interests, problems, and what's interesting on the news. My blog spot covers most of my school life and some parts of my life after school. I write about school stress, and also write about the good things that happen at school. My blog has a mix of everything, from movies I watched/plan to watch, shows I saw or plan to see, to what I plan to do in the summer. Others who read my blog say it's comical in a way, because I write all about my crazy life, and others say that my blog is informing. I write a lot about school events and remind people to go to school events like the International Festival, and the Auction Carnival. If you want to know whats happening in my life, and whats happening in my school at Van Buren, then visit my blog and please leave a comment.

The troubled economy!!!

ughhhhhhhh,job searching is sooooo frustrating, no one is hiring and plus i have to worry about college, and the SAT tests that are coming up. High school is very stressful and I advise you to enjoy your life before you go into college because I believe that college is going to be 10 times more stressful than high school, if you are academically serious about College. During the spring break I need to get my act together and do some research on colleges and other things. I hope i go through the process alive. Parent Teacher Conference is also coming up, and i have to usher for community service for ms. Popin. My parents are not plannin to come, but i want them to.

Three Recommended Blogs

Three blogs that I had visited and that I recommend you to read are Dee's blog (Talk About It) http://speakmyminddee.blogspot.com/, Venetia's blog http://venetia-vmp320.blogspot.com/ (Venitias Favorite Books and Movies), and Jash's blog http://jmblogger-latestgadgets.blogspot.com/ (Latest Electronics and Gadgets).



Dee's blog is very sophisticated and organized plus her blog is set up very properly put together. Reading Dee's blog keeps me up to date on all the celebrity news and what happening in the show business industry. Dee talks all about what celebrity is doing what, and what celebrity went to jail, or was caught kissing their ex. Dee's blog is very scandalous and super addicting.



Venetia's blog is also one of my favorite blogs to read, and I highly recommend you to read it regularly. Venetia's blog is very similar to my blog, and she writes all about her life which make s me think we have a lot in common. Whatever Venetia writes in her blog, I can relate to and her posts always catches my attention so I read on, not because I have to, but because I want to.



Jash's blog is a very cool blog to read. Jash's blog keeps me up to date with all the new electronics that are going into the market before anyone else knows about the them. If you want to know whats hot in gadgets and electronics, visit Jash's blog which won't disappoint. Jash's blog also has lots of pictures which also makes the blog very teenage friendly because not so many teenagers would know what a extra diesel 300 lisper phone is right?

hello

Today I was loaded with soooo much homework, and plus i have a test! what are these teachers trying to do? kill us? omg, my dark circles are re-emerging, and i know its because I'm sleep deprived. All I can say is summer is approaching to cheer me up. UGHHHH school is so stressful, and we all have to go through 8 more years in college, and then we have to work after that, i guess there is no easy way in life unless you get lucky and make it bug. But also remember hard work pays off, so I guess my effort will pay off in the future, i really do hope it will. For now, keep reading and writing, because education is the best strength in life, and you know what they say knowledge is power!

Naomi, Naomi , Naomi!

Naomi Campbell is in trouble with the law.......... again! First she throws a cellphone at someone and gets into trouble, now she beats up her driver, why are we not surprised? Naomi needs to figure out ways to keep her cool or else she will end up in a jail cell. I believe that as a child Naomi was in an abusive household, and was personally a victim of abuse and therefore she acts the way she does which is violently. Naomi needs to get some psychiatric help and needs to learn how to control her anger, if she can't do that, then she must suffer the consequences.

HEY!!!!

Hey blog! today i went to lunch and did my math homework and had a blast with all my friends. Lunch is one of my favorite classes, if that counts as a class. You can talk, eat, listen to music, talk as much as u want, do homework, sleep, and do basically what ever you want! Doesn't that sound fun? Today i also watched a crazy nasty video in health, I think I'm scarred for life,, and for anyone who has Barbash, knows exactly what i mean. It was pretty scary! I don't know what else to say. My life is kind of boring..... sorry.

My review for teaching adorable third graders. :)

Yesterday i went t o teach third graders for the day through a program called Junior Achievement. I really did not know what to expect, and wan honestly terrified. After a whole day with the kids, I realized how fun it was to be a teacher. I was expecting the worst but gained a different perspective on teaching. I enjoyed being a teacher very much. The little third graders were so respectful, and sweet (don't we all hope they stay that way). My experience teaching the third graders was very enjoyable, and totally worth my effort and time. The kids were very intelligent, and knew a lot more than I expected. They also finished most if not all their work, and also knew how to follow directions. At the end of the day i really did not want to leave the third graders, and knew I wanted to teach them again. The opportunity to teach third graders really gives you an wonderful teaching experience, and you really know what a teacher goes through when he/she is teaching you. I recommend the Junior achievement program to everyone, and I know they will have a great time!

:O

we were told to read an article on the site of nydailynew.com on this article about school officials spying on students through their laptops. I believe that its totally wrong for that to happen because it's a violation pf privacy and is illegal. Students are vulnerable to having themselves being on the internet of photos/videos that are not appropriate. This kind of action reveals the hypocrisy of school officials, and goes against their own rules of not violating others through video. I think spying on kids is absurd, and make us wonder if we are really safe at home.

>:)

Today we juss got back from our presidents week vacation. and i am tired. I would have thought that i would be well rested and ready to be at school, but im not. I actually dont want to be at school at all, its soooo boring, and i almost fell asleep during fifth period. I really did not do that much over the break, but i watched A LOT of tv. I watched every possible show on MTV, and For The Love Of Ray J. OMG mz. berry won!!! i knew it, i guessed that she would win, and i have proof, u can go on my previous blogs where i stated that mz berry is gonna win, and she did!!. I should become a psychic. lol

:)

Today we are getting our cups of kisses at Van, yeay. I'm kind of excited, i sent a lot out to my friends. Today there are no people in school. maybe like 3 ppl per class, i like it that way because the hall is less crowded,  and more peaceful/calm. I think the halls should alwayz be like that. Well anyway ttyl, im going to study for my history test.

Shows that I watch.

The other night i saw the bad girls club, my life as Liz. The buried life, and Frank the Entertainer, most of the shows were on MTV. They are so entertaining, and i got to admit those shows r my guilty pleasure, because i know that i should be studying for an exam or doing my homework early, but instead i watch my fave shows, and end up doing my homework at 3 am. Don't get me wrong i do all of my homework, but i just do it late. My mom thinks i sleep at 9 or ten, but i cant remember the last time i slept at even 11:00pm!! Those show are far too addicting and more interesting than homework, and sleep so i watch all of them. I always say that you can sleep when ur dead.!! so do what u want until u cant do it anymore.

Valentines Day!!

There is no school for a whole week tomorrow!!! WOOHOOO!!! i cannot wait , new york public school have a lot of days off, i don't mind it at all, but my mother does not like it, she thinks we are missing too much school, but the lees school the better. School can be over whelming and burdensome at times, with all the stuff die, and all; those tests. I am relieved that we have no school next week, I'm probably going to eat out and watch some movies over the break. I am anticipating the movies Alice in Wonderland, Dear John, and Valentines day. Those are probably my top picks that i will watching. And ohh yeah, this Sunday is VALENTINES DAY!!! The day of love, and romance or you can just describe it as a day of increase in money for Americas economy. Haha. Anyway enjoy the holiday, and stay safe. xoxox

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are officially going to have a snow tomorrow, boy am i excited, im probably going to sleep a lot, and watch a lot of TV, i cant wait, today i thought i was literally going to fall asleep in class, and i can barely keep my eyelids open, i think that's what i deserve for going to sleep at 3 am! I was watching Frank the entertainers reality show called a basement affair. These reality shows are taking over my life, they are so whack and cheezy yet i still watch them because they are sooooo funny. I need to go to bed early next time so i can wake up earlr for school, but there's no school tomorrow so i really dont need to worry about that. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHY!

Genocide in Congo, Africa.

The article on the genocide in Congo called "Orphaned, Raped and Ignored" was a very tragic article and hard to bear. The fact of the civil war stated in that article was extremely devastating, and made me grow angry since its an ignored issue, and is too major to ignore. The problems in Congo almost seem unbelievable straight from a horror movie, and hard to take in. The author of the article stated that girls got raped in front of all the children, and those same poor children had to witness and visualize all that disgust, on top of that they had to watch their own parents and loved ones being slaughtered!! This horrific sight must be traumatizing to any sane human being adult, but imagine younger children witnessing such abomination!!! The article stated that the killings were totally random and purposeless, these so called soldiers were killing innocent people for no reason, and therefore these "soldiers" were more barbaric than the most savage animals in the depths of the wild jungle! I agree with the author that this issue filled with so much cruelty cannot be ignored, we must all help out, the death toll will only increase if we don't attempt to resolve this major problem.

The Grammies two days ago was magnificently amazing. Beyonce and Jay went home with a total of 8 Grammies! Taylor is probably on top of the world right now, she is the youngest person to win the best album of the year, Taylor is probably at home right now making some shelves to fit her new Grammies, Congrats girl!!!! I heard that Kanye had to be caged while Taylor was giving her acceptance speeches, you have to believe that, lol. Did u see Lady Gaga's outfit, she never disappoints us with her creativity and unique style, there is no one like her she should be that way forever, everyone is hating on her, but i absolutely love her, shes so artistic and different and they cant handle that, so they hate on her. I will Love her to the end. <3>

Half of the school year is already complete!!!!!

Regent;s week is going to start tomorrow, i cannot wait, I'M SOOO EXCITED!!!!! I don't really know what i'm going to do, maybe study or something, and get a bunch of movies and watch them. Maybe i'll hang out with my friends, or go to the mall. juss teenage stuff like that. Summer is the real time to live it up and have fun, but there is all this SAT stuff and regents tests to take in June, and studying during the summer vacation can be a real bummer, but ill still manage to have fun. Half of the school year is already over, CAN U BELIEVE THAT!!! It seemed like yesterday when i was a fresh junior starting my year, and being terrified of the teachers i was going to have, but now there is only a few more months to go (4 and a half to be more specific) till its SUMMER VACATION!!!!!!!! Time flies by sooooo fast, and you wonder where time goes, does it hide behind a tree, does it burn to ashes, or does it fly away with the birds?? I don't know, but it sure leaves fast, where ever it goes.

But i still manage, i cannot wait till the new episode of Jersey Shore, its sooooo addicting, y, idk, but i love it, Jwow is my girl,love her,nd Ronnie ur such a sweetheart, hes like the sweetest guy on earth, being there for Snooki and all. I hope They will all stay tight till the end. Mikeu are the worst SITUATION, hes so conceded and everything revolves around him, he doesn't care about anyone but himself. He should just leave the house. I cannot wait for the new episode airing on MTV, u cant miss it.

Today is Comedy Wednesday on abc 7. Modern family is on today, i cant wait, and The Middle is also on. Those are one of the funniest shows out there, but they are more recent. I grew up watching The King Of Queens, i love Doug and Cary, but now I'm getting into the more modern and, new comedy shows. These shows will keep u laughing for a while, they are so funny. They come on today (every Wednesday) on channel 7 @ 8:00. Hope u watch , u'll love it, i promise.

I have a lot of projects and stuff due this week, i cant wait to be done with high school and go away to college. That 3 day weekend was GREAT, i relaxed, but every time i turned on my tv, i grow a knot in my stomach because of all of the horror that happening in Haiti, the pictures on the news explain a thousand words. :(

My heart goes out to the victims, and loved ones of the people who have been effected by the massive earthquake in Haiti. This has been the worst earthquake ever, since 200 years, there has never been an earthquake this bad. An estimated 500, 000 people are left dead, and more than a million have been injured or wounded. Everyone should pray for the Haitians, and do your part by donating, it can make a big difference, just imagine New York being effected like that, and losing someone u love, PLEASE DONATE, its the least you can do, and it can save the lives of innocent people in need and in trouble.

The pain and agonoy of boredom!~!!!

I cant wait till American idol airs for the second day today, i love how funny the auditions part is, its my favorite part, i cant wait to watch!!!!!! i need to laugh school makes me soo bored and depressed some time with all the tests and homework, students have a full time job attending school, we should get paid!!!!!! and ohh yeah we have a three day weekend coming up, dod bless Martin!!!

Heyyy, did u guys watch the recent episode of For the Love of Ray Jay? ong, i cannot believe that Flossy left ,but am kind of glad that exotica left. I dont see how Caliente and Jay could live a life together, they just are soo opposite and i cannot understand what she says 95% of the time. My favorite now and alwayz is Mz berry, shes so real and genuine, and NO shes not a cry baby, dont hate just because she looks like Halle. I love her. I hope she wins, shes the only real one in the house that does not have extreme meltdowns, in which everyone yells and throws drinks on each other.
