Has time passed by this quickly? Is it already nearly the end of the school year?
It just feels like yesterday when I first walked into my new elementary school, scared out of my wits, to finish the last three months of first grade. If yesterday felt like the first time I walked into my new, first grade class, a few hours ago must've been the time I first stepped onto the grounds of my middle school!
No, now we have a few weeks left. Even then, that time will be dwindling down to days, to hours, to minutes, and to seconds.
...Words fail. They fail to truly extract and express the feelings I hold within me. They fail to convey the sadness I have. The anticipation for a new chapter. The apprehension for another journey.
They fail to communicate the abundant amount of thanks I have for the people who guided me and the peers who graced their presence into my life.
I remember the nervousness of going into a new environment. I remember the hope I had in creating friendships and the dread I felt of a different outcome, but I didn't have to be worried.
I want to thank all of my teachers. From elementary to middle school, I can never thank you enough for the amount of guidance you pushed on to me. I can never thank you enough for being there whenever I had trouble. I can never thank you enough for just being there for me in general and nurturing me to become the person I am now.
I want to thank the staff. I want to recognize the nurses who fixed me up whenever I got hurt. I want to thank the technicians who always fixed the technology that help us learn and grow. I want to give credit to the custodians who always cleaned up the messes we made. I give gratitude to the lunch ladies for dealing with our "hangry" behavior in the lunch line. I want to thank the secretaries, principals, and the superintendent that help run this place smoothly. Most of all, I would like to give thanks to the PTA for putting so much effort into making the years here memorable.
As for my friends...I don't want to say goodbye. The connections I've made here are the reason why I love this place so much. I don't want to untie the knot that holds us all together into this one big family. It's sad to see you guys go, but the connections I've made here will forever stay a memory in my heart.
Good or bad experiences, they will stay. Funny or solemn memories, I will keep. Old or new connections, I will treasure.
The time I've spent here will forever hold a place in my soul. As I await to open the next chapter of my life, I will spend the time in between reminiscing on these precious moments.

May You Find This Relatable in Some Way or Form
So...what to do...what to do...
I was rather down in the dumps lately. Everything's been passing by so quickly, and sometimes I just need to stop. Sometimes I need to take a little break to unwind myself and have some fun.
So, what else could I do then surf the wonders of the internet?! (My options were very limited. XD) I was just typing random stuff and looking for anything interesting. Then, I decided to look for something that would make me laugh because goodness knows that laughter helps get you at ease.
Memes. Videos. Jokes. Everything.
Were they effective? I'll leave you guessing. XP
Here are some of the ones I found the most interesting!

They may or may not seem funny to you. I find them funny because they're relatable. ^_^

Hesitant Ending to Another New Beginning
 |
| Courtesy to Pinterest |
Wow. Time sure flies fast, huh? It's cliche, I know, but it just feels like a few minutes ago that I've written my first blog post. In reality, it's been, what, several months?
To be honest, I really don't want this year to end. I'm really scared to start this new chapter of my life.
New milestones to cross.
New problems to fix.
New obstacles to overcome.
New interests to experience.
Everything is so daunting.
I just want to curl up and clutch every single memory I've made the past few years. I don't want to leave it all behind. Even in memory, it's never the same. Everything is moving so quickly that it's so hard to keep up with it. I just want to sit down and soak in every experience and connection that I have before it all fades away.
I'm not naive. I think of it often, and I know that the connections I've made would most likely diminish in time if they're not strong enough. It's just sad to see such relations crumble once I take this new step towards another new beginning.
Just like the quote said, I have to accept it. It's better that I do now, then mope around about how my life is getting harder. It's better that I take these experiences with me and learn from them. It's better that I should smile down on these memories whenever I reminisce this part of my life.
This is the foundation that I will build upon to create the tower of exciting memories I'm going to make over time.

Well. Uh. How Do I Start This...
Conversations. Am I right? Aren't they one of the most complicated things ever?
Err...you know the feeling when you want to start a conversation with someone, but you don't know what to say?
Oh! How about when you're already in a conversation with someone, but you don't know how to keep it going?
Maybe you know the one where you're having a conversation with someone, but you don't know how to end it. Instead, it just tapers off into awkward silence.
The one where you try to talk in a conversation but no one notices you or they ignore you is also an interesting one.
Oh, and my favorite! The time when you're having a conversation with multiple people when you're actually not because you don't even know how to talk in the conversation, and you just stay quiet.
Conversations. Am I right?
Well, I've been having that problem for the pass week or two. Maybe longer. Maybe my whole life. Everyone has that problem, I know, but I just get so sick and tired of it. You want to say something, but you can't. You want to voice your opinion, but your mouth won't let you say it.
Instead, you sit passively as you listen to others while saying the comments you wanted to say in your head.
Instead, you just imagine saying the words you wanted to say to the people and try to imagine the reactions they would have.
Even when you try to voice your opinion, it doesn't come out the way you want it, or the people/person your having a conversation with react differently then what you hoped they would react.
Then you wonder why if it was a good idea to even say what you wanted to say.
Yeah. Not complicated at all.

Who Would've Thought I Got my Name Like That...
This week is a free write. We get to post about anything we want. Originally, this was an official post before, but I put it back in edit. I was looking forward for another opportunity to share this post again, but I never quite found the right time to put it back up. Well, until now. I found this story quite interesting to tell, and I hope you find it amusing as well. ^_^
------
Well. This is embarrassing. It's a rather funny story, actually.Maybe a little sad...
Okay, so it went like this.
My parents were still debating on what my first name should be. Of course, they had an agreement that my second name would be based off my dad's.
Then, it happened.
They watched a commercial.
In the commercial, it showed a beautiful woman. She was depicted to be...I don't know. What I do know is that something about her made my mom really like her. She must've had great qualities...
When she heard the name of the woman, she knew instantly that she should call me after her. This beautiful random woman on t.v.
Originally, they were supposed to name me after my great-grandmother because I was born on the same day as her. Well, supposedly. I was supposed to be born on my uncle's birthday, but I ended up being a day overdue. So, they didn't consider my great-grandmother's name until the actual day I was born.
I don't hate my name. I quite like it, actually. It makes me, well, me. I'm just wondering why, you know. Great-grandma over here who I share a birthday with versus beautiful random woman on t.v.
At least I have an interesting story to share. XD
Oh, don't worry about great-grandma. I got to choose my Spanish name for my Spanish class, and I based it around her.
Welp. That's how I got my name. From a beautiful random woman in a commercial. :P

ERROR! ERROR! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!
Guess what I just found out today? Well, I found out that it's scientifically proven that if you look at cute images or videos, your performance and concentration levels increase and improve. It also is scientifically proven that it raises your happiness levels. ^_^
We all know how stressful life can be sometimes. Things from tests to family problems can raise your anxiety and stress levels. Nobody likes that.
Hey, I got your back! Here's an assortment of images and gifs of cuteness that will help you get through whatever problem you're facing. :D
Without further ado, here's a cuteness overload!
Aww. It's okay little bunny rabbit. The cushioning on the ground will help your fall!
Look at that adorable face~! XD
Such a cute yawn, right?
Why, hello there. Are you playing Peak-A-Boo?
Here's a dose of cuteness for your day!

Who Else is a Better Influence Than Her?
I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to the death of a close family member or friend. They're either distantly related or very close, but never close enough to create a big impact on me.
In some ways I'm glad for that. I don't want to experience the hurt and pain you carry when someone close to you passes on. Other times, I'm regretful because it feels like I've missed out on a great opportunity in getting to know the people who could have been someone very close and dear to me.
With that said, I find it quite hard to write a tribute about a special person who has passed on when I don't have that special kind of person. Although, what I can do right now is write a special tribute to someone who is alive. I may not have a very special influence that has passed on, but what I do have is a very special influence helping me right here, right now.
That special influence is my mom. (...Sorry, Dad. You're a big influence too, but I already wrote a blog post about you.)
There's not enough words to express how much I care for her and how grateful I am for every minute she spends taking care of me. She's been through so many things, and she puts in so much effort into helping us get a better life. She's so very thoughtful and considerate, and she's the best role model and influence for me.
My mom is a very hard-working woman. She's one of the main pillars and supports that keep our family together. She would work very long shifts at her workplace in order to help us live and get through with our lives. I don't understand how she does it. If I was in her place, I would already be so worn out, and my perseverance would have died a long time ago. Not my mom, though.
She would always keep that smile on her face. She's always so warm and caring to us at home even if we were being quite loud and annoying. Instead, she would stare at us with a small smile and ask about how our day was going.
She would always put our happiness before hers. All the things we need before hers. All the things we want before hers. There was one time when we went shopping, and we were looking around for things we needed. Then, we spotted some things we really wanted to get. We tried to stay quiet about it, but our mom probably saw through our act (Mother's intuition can be scary O-O). The thing is, what we wanted was rather expensive. She just stared at us with that understanding look and asked if we wanted it. We denied professedly, but she gave us the same look of understanding. She ended up getting it for us. All the money she could have used for something else more useful was used for something we wanted on a whim.
My mom is one of the emotional pillars that support my mental structure. Every time I ever broke down or was having a raging fit, she's always there to calm me down and soothe me. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have her. I think I'd just be an emotional storm if she isn't here with me.
Even if I'm always grateful for her here, I don't always show it. Especially now since I'm going through the showing-that-you-love-your-parents-is-embarrassing phase. I don't know how she handles it. Whenever I snap at her or show some attitude, she's always brushing it off like it was nothing. She's pretty tough, if you ask me.
My mom is the best influence I could have in my life. She's caring, understanding, considerate of others, and a whole bunch of other awesome adjectives that would take too long to say all of them.
I don't say it often, but I mean it when I say, "I love my mom."

Isn't That an Interesting Group of People
If I could spend an afternoon with three famous people, dead or alive, I would like to meet...Eleanor Roosevelt, Conan O'Brien, and Walt Disney. Reasons? I'll tell you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
She is an amazing person! To be honest, if you had asked me this question a few months ago, I wouldn't have even thought about her. It wasn't until recently, when I started reading her biography, that I started thinking of her as a very influential person. She was the First Lady for Pete's sake, and she was even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times! That's amazing! She broke out of her shell and became a person who you could trust and listen. She's a force to be reckoned with.
---
---
Conan O'Brien
I'm going to die laughing if I get the chance to meet him. He's a comedian, just so you know. His dry humor really gets me into laughing fits. However, that's not the only reason why I liked him. In the past, he wasn't very well received by the public. He's dealt with so much criticism, hardship, and harshness. To be honest, sometimes I felt like he was going to give up at some moments. Even with those circumstances, he persevered, and it eventually paid off. After enduring such pain, it paid off. Now, he's a comedian who's showered in a lot of love from his fans.
---
---
Walt Disney
Who wouldn't want to meet Walt Disney? He created one of the most influential entertainment industries in the world! Disney! He has so much imagination and creativity if he created such amazing theme parks. Even when he was turned down and criticized because of his 'lack of creativity'. He didn't let that get to him, and he tried his best to get his dreams and ambitions to come true. If he sees the evolution of Disney now, he would be proud.
---
---
I guess we can go to the movie theaters and watch the new "Beauty and the Beast" movie. I would like to hear Mrs. Roosevelt's opinion on the movie. I'm sure she would have a lot of interesting things to say. Conan would most likely joke a little during the movie but would make a lot of more jokes and comments on it after the movie. As for Walt Disney...I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that his movie has been adapted into a live-action film.

WOAH! That's Not a Real Person?!?!
I love field trips. Who doesn't? It's the time when you get to leave school for at least a couple hours and have some fun while learning a few things along the way. That's exactly what I did during my Springfield field trip.
I was quite excited for the field trip since we were practically gone for the whole day! ^_^ Plus, I was with all of my friends for the whole trip, so it made it even more fun. We were visiting a lot of awesome places during our trip.
We got to see Abraham Lincoln's home, his tomb, the Illinois State Capital, quite a few veteran memorials, and the Abraham Lincoln National Museum! They were all amazing to see! However, what occurred in the Abraham Lincoln National Museum is probably one of the most memorable moments of the trip.
The name of the place practically states what consists in the museum. It's all and everything Abraham Lincoln. All the way from when he was a tiny, little baby to his death after being assassinated. It was interesting to see all the different artifacts as well as the...wax statues. Sorry! Wax statues kind of creep me out.
Although, what caught my eye the most was the movies we could watch when we were there.
There was one telling a story about Lincoln's life, but it wasn't some boring documentary. Let's just say there quite a few surprises and a lot of special effects that made it quite exciting to watch.
The second one, however...I found it much more interesting to watch. It was rather mellow, but there was a mystery surrounding the movie. There was a certain feeling in the room that made you feel like something was going to happen that you wouldn't expect. It was rather disconcerting but exhilarating at the same time.
What happened there was...woah. I was dumbfounded! I never knew that technology advanced that much to create something that magical and realistic. I couldn't even tell. I thought they were a real person, but seeing them disappear in front of my eyes like that blew my mind! Now, I don't want to spoil too much for you, so I won't give out too much detail.
For sure, that was one of my most favorite moments during the trip. I can't wait to go back and see Springfield again.

Da(17x) BATMAN~!
*WARNING! THIS POST MIGHT CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS!*
Guess who just watched The Lego Batman Movie a second time~?!?! (Psst. Hint. It's me.)
The Lego Batman Movie is about Batman dealing with his struggles of being a loner throughout his life. After fighting with the Joker in an epic battle, big changes occur that force him to reevaluate the way he's living. As he struggles with sticking to his usual aloof, lone vigilante behavior, he's done a few regrettable things that push the people around him away. Throughout the movie, you see him trying to save Gotham from the hands of the Joker while struggling with his fear ofsnake clowns having a family again when he unintentionally adopts a kid and bring him into his way of life.
Lego Batman is witty and its comedy is superb. Not to mention, the references in the movie are bound to bring some laughter from the crowd. *cough*SuicideSquad*cough* The animation is gorgeous and it seems to bring the nostalgia out of people with its combination of childhood influences (Lego and Batman). The balance of the action and comedy is almost flawless, and, if it feels like its dragging on, there are quite a few jokes punctuated in it to make it bearable.
With its goofy and lovable characters along with a pretty decent plot line, this movie is quite worth the watch. I'd give it an 8.5/10.

Never Gonna Give Up Jamming to the '80s~!
Well, you see, my dad has been a huge influence to me music wise. Well, not it playing instruments or singing but in song selection. This, for the most part, includes the '80s.
That's right! The '80s is my jam! It doesn't matter what genre it is. As long as I find it good, I'll listen to it. I can't just fan freak out over just one genre, song, group, or person.
He also played songs from the '70s and '90s. Some even in the 2000s, but, for the majority, it's the '80s. Although, that whole spectrum of music I'm quite familiar with.
I mean, off the top of my head, I can name you five to eight songs from the '80s and three to five songs each from the '70s, '90s, and 2000s. However, some songs are more prominent than others. Like these songs. They're probably the ones I remember the most.

- Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
- Don't Stop Believin' - Journey
- Beat it - Michael Jackson
- Every Breath You Take - The Police
- Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
- Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cindy Lauper
- When Doves Cry - Prince
- Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley (Rickroll XD)
Argh! I want to name more, but I'm afraid that I'd go on rambling about the '80s. No matter how much I try, the '80s will forever be ingrained in my musical mind. Wah! Maybe I'll expand more on my knowledge on music. After all, I did say that my musical taste varies to a lot of different genres.

How Hard Can it be to Lead a Country?
Hmm...which president do I admire the most? How about honest Abe? Maybe George Washington, the first President of the United States? Although, Franklin D. Roosevelt is also a good one. Oh! How about our 44th president, Barack Obama?
I admire a lot of them. I mean, I have at least some respect for anyone who lead our country. That's a pretty hard job to manage. I can feel myself grow older when I think of the thought. Yeah, I know that some didn't do very well in leading their country, and all of them fumbled at some point in time during their presidency. Although, they did step up to the plate to take on the challenge. That, for which, I can greatly admire.
The one that I find the most admirable though...I don't know. I have a lot of favorites. I guess that I'll randomly choose one with a generator.
That person is...!!!
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The generator made a fine choice.

Of course, the achievement I most greatly admired that he did was probably pulling us out of the Great Depressionor helping us through WWII (even though he died near the end). He pulled us out of that economic disaster with his leadership.
How about his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt?!?! That woman is amazing! If I wasn't supposed to be writing about the Presidents I would have surely wrote about her instead.
Not to mention, he was rather supportive about certain things like Women's Rights or the right to vote.
However, some opinions he kept to himself due to how complicated politics can be and what not. Not everyone was ready to hear such idealistic ideas at that time. Even then, he still led the country with all he had.
I mean, he was the first president with a significant physical disability (Polio or Guillain-Barre Syndrome, I'm not quite sure)! He pushed through a lot of problems and suffering to get where he was.
That even includes leading the U.S. to victory in WWII. If being president during the Great Depression was hard, imagine being president during WWII! That must have been a living nightmare. However, he must've done a rather significant job since he was elected for four terms. Well, close to four. He died in office before the war ended during his fourth term.
Imagine how tired and stressed he was in leading a country through almost four terms which involved significant events like the Great Depression or WWII?!?! I don't know how he does it.
I mean, he still had quite a few fumbles during his presidency *cough* pulling out the New Deals too early, bad deal between him and Stalin near the end of the war *cough*, but, overall, he did very well.

If I Could, Then I Would
The thing that I really want to get is very very expensive. It's not for me but for my parents.
You see, the majority of my family lives in a different country. So it's very hard to stay in contact with them as frequently as we would like. Considering that my parent's siblings and their own parents live that far away, it's safe to say that they miss them quite a lot.
That's why I want to get them plane tickets that allows them to see the rest of the family. Time is passing by, and we're not getting any younger. Especially my grandparents.
The holidays is when you spend your time with your family and the people you care about. Well, you can't do that when nearly 90% of your family lives in a different country. That's where these tickets come into play. My parents did so many things and sacrificed a majority of other stuff for my siblings and I. That includes the time they can spend with the rest of the family. This is the least I can do for them. I may not have the money now, but someday I will.
