Motto for my life

My motto for life is to be happy. happiness is key to being happy. without happiness you cannot be happy. happy derives from the word happiness. happiness equals to joy and elated feeling. happy is a common name for clowns who create happiness through balloon animals. WEEE ARE YOUNGGGG SO LETS SET THIS WORLD ON FIREEEEEEEE, MAKE IT BRIGHTERRRRR THAN THE SUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUuuuun. this song is representative of what fun is. setting worlds on fire is fun. being young is fun. making a world brighter than the sun is fun. and that rhymed.
Opposite of happiness is sadness. Sadness can be found in different math classes, AP classes, or just school in general (mostly High School). Another key to happiness could be love. love for family, for someone else, for a pet, an inanimate object, or for yourself. Loving yourself will help you be a healthier happier person and will make people want to be with you and get to know you. SO BE HAPPY. that's my motto.
also hakuna matata which is from lion king. that movie makes me happy <3 LOVE ITTTTT.

My Perfect Holiday

I envision my perfect holiday to happen during a snowy winterland. I kind of imagine it somewhere where I said I wanted to have my honeymoon at. I just love the idea of winter, with the hot cocoa, and snuggling under warm blankets, going sledding, buying all the cute winter clothes, relaxing next to a fire. It all sounds so awesome!! I've been to snow before in Japan for skiing but its never fun cuz we almost never really get to relax or just go sightseeing. I wanna be in a little cozy cottage place but the inside is modern. There would be an amazing amusement park near by where I can just walk to. The car service would be horse carriages and you can go for midnight rides through the empty snowy street.

All my friends could go with me and we'd go in for free. There would be hot springs conveniently placed near my cottage. A hot cocoa glass would automatically refill itself as well as with other beverages. The whole house would look completely natural yet be super high-tech. The bed would warm itself, the fire would start up and die down, the shower would provide shampoo, soap, and conditioner and I want one of those talking toilets that close the lid on its own. The TV would have all the shows and movies and I could just tell it to play something and it would play. 

Yeahhhh, that would be awesome.

Free: THE MUSICALLLLL

okay so the SIS musical is coming up and I am pretty darn excited for it! Let me give you guys a little bit of a background on this.
SIS musicals happen every year towards the end of the school year (usually in the 4th quarter). There's always a different theme to it, and everyone in the school participates from pre-k to 12th grade. (Our school is quite small so this only adds up to about 200 + people.) ANYWAY so THIS years theme is a talent show/ glee kinda deal.  Last year's musical theme was disney, and the year before that i think was ABBA. Usually for the musicals we have each class perform a song or two (singing and dancing) and they would sing along to the music, but that wasn't very musical-ish because there was no REAL singing being done. SO for last year and this year we've had auditions for lead parts of the musical. You can audition for a song that a certain class has and while they dance to it, you sing the song. I was going to audition last year but I was way too scared and made up excuses of why I couldn't. T__T
THIS YEAR, is my senior year, so i of course just HAD to audition. I decided to audition for four songs: valerie, lady is a tramp, walking on sunshine, we found love. I was really excited for valerie because it wasn't such a high song and i knew i could pull it off better than the other ones. Also, it was an ensemble, meaning it didn't belong to a class, it was a free for all song. and there was only one lead. I was SUPERRRR nervous for auditions of course, i love the idea of spotlight but i'm terrified of it in reality. My friends were quite supportive of me and even sang background for valerie while I auditioned. They seemed to really like me and I was pretty happy with my performance. Walking on sunshine i did with my sister and we wanted to do a dance with it. bad idea. we messed up cuz we were so nervous D: we found love was alright but i knew they wouldn't like me with the song cuz im more of an alto. Lady is a tramp is the opening song and also an ensemble. I auditioned for it with my brother doing the guy part, i did the song well except for the really high parts (this is the lady gaga version). I knew I had a slim chance of getting it especially cuz two other girls, (though their voices aren't as strong) are able to hit the high notes. So I just held hope for valerie, which is the ONE song I really wanted because my only other competition for it said some mean things about me saying things like "why did she sign up? she cant sing those songs". So that was a definite motivation for me to get it so I could show her up and it was even better when she signed up. It was basically me against her for that song.
Callbacks came and I had one for valerie and so did she. I also got callbacks for walking on sunshine, and another song that I didn't audition for (rhythm of love). The sheet said that lady is a tramp was closed and at that time me and my brother were the only ones who auditioned so we thought we already got it but then they made some changes and opened it up to a couple girls they thought would fit better. (booooo!). When my time came to do Valerie, I was determined to get it, I sang it the best I knew how. At the end they were all clapping and saying "wow" which was pretty awesome. Next I had to do lady is a tramp one more time and I still couldn't hit the high notes very well. Then I auditioned for rhythm of love with another girl and they pretty much gave it to us because they said my voice was low and it fit well with the music and we sounded good together for the chorus.
As for Lady is a Tramp I am happy to say that my brother got the boy part, but they replaced me with someone else -__- (bastards).
but thats okay, CUZ I GOT VALERIEEEEEEEEEE.
spotlight on me baby. already made up dance moves :).

what is good?

GOOD can be defined in various ways. Depending on a particular situation, "good" can be a shady concept. Good becomes shady in times of war when killing is a regular thing. Good in a simple sense can be defined as a person helping an old lady walk across the street, simply because he wants to help. Not because he will get money out of it. I guess the best way to define good is to know what bad is. Bad can closely relate to evil, such as doing something negative to someone without reason. Hurting an innocent animal for no reason is 'bad'. Helping out an innocent animal is 'good'. The contrast of the two words help define each other and help people understand them much more clearly. When a man gives a helpless starving child his sandwhich that he was saving for lunch, knowing that he has dinner to look forward to later is something that is 'good'. Ignoring the child and eating it anyway isn't necessarily bad, but it isn't good either.  People can define good based on certain beliefs they have, or what they were taught growing up. For example a lot of people base their beliefs on religion. The most logical beliefs of good only need common sense.

How do we make decisions?

WELLLLLLLLL, hmmmmmmm decisions are based on many different things. Decisions can be based on the adrenaline that a person has or the pressure of the moment. Sometimes they're based on looks, talent or what's best for the situation. Decisions, good or bad, have to be made in important moments like during a war, or an engagement. For example how do you know whether to say yes or no to a man who proposes to you? well the first and foremost thing is your feelings. If you're absolutely sure you love him then the decision leans to a yes. Second is more logical, does he treat you right, does he respect you, is he capable of supporting you and your future children? Usually people go with the first influence (feeling) to make their decision and none of the logical stuff seem to matter. Another example is forgiveness. Should you forgive someone that has hurt you in the past? A lot of people hold a grudge and never forgive someone that has wronged them. Some people do forgive but they will never forget. It really depends on the depth of 'wrong' the person has done.

hey its free!

it's a free topic today for journalism class so i'm going to talk about what i would do if i had 25 billion dollars. I imagine myself winning this at some HUGE lottery thing once i move to the states several months from now. i'll be that lucky one person >__< IT'S GONNA BE SO AWESOME. all my lifes worries will be pretty much solved. I would still of course go to college and pursue a degree, i would be able to pay for all my college expenses and not even make a dent in my billions :3. I would help out my lovebug with his college expenses too since he wants to stay with me and go to the states for college too but his parents won't support it :/. THEN, i would give my mom and dad like 3 million dollars each and give each of my siblings 30 thousand for their college savings. AND THENNN i would go to the philippines and visit all of my cousins. First i would go to the ones who are much poorer and live in the province. They literally live in a shack, so i would move them into a nicer house and renovate it so that its pretty and homey. then i would take them to the mall a couple hours away outside of where they live and buy them all new clothes and shoes and i would pay for my youngest cousins education, she's like 9 years old. After that I would go to my OTHER cousins who are also poor, and move them into a nice condo where they can each have their own rooms and stuff like that. I'm closest with my cousin Mae. we grew up together and she always got my hand-me-downs so if i got all that money i would definitely take her and even her brothers on a shopping spree. After all of that is taken care of, i would go back to the states balance college and of course since i wouldn't have to work so much for money I would go ahead and pursue my dreams of modeling/acting and hopefully make something out of myself. Maybe after my second year of college i'll start living on my own in a SUPER nice apartment and its gonna be so fancy and i'm gonna have this super awesome convertible car.

Sigh. That'll be the day.

advertising: Information or manipulation?

I can't exactly say if advertising is informational or manipulative because it is dependent on many different variables. For example: what kind of advertising is it? the way a particular piece of advertisement is portrayed is based on its content and the way it is written. An "informational" advertisement would of course contain information on the particular subject that is being advertised and opinions, biased or not, are excluded completely. Manipulative advertisement would include biased opinions and deceiving factors. This can also be labeled as "false advertisement".
Example of Informational advertisement:
Smoking cigarettes can cause lung cancer.
now this is proven by fact and can't exactly be argued against. Also by saying "can" it is open and no restrictive, meaning to say it is not the ONLY cause of lung cancer and also it is not the only thing that smoking can do to you.

Example of Manipulative advertisement:
If you buy this lotion, you will look 10 years younger, guaranteed!
now this is something that people can easily give in to and is completely manipulative. It is very unlikely that a bottle of lotion can make a 20 year old look like they're 10 again.
Even if it did somewhat work, the advertisement said 10 years guaranteed, so "somewhat" isn't good enough.
