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.
