Politics, Religion and Music. What's New?

Well hello there fellow blogging community members.

Whether you follow me, or have somehow stumbled upon this poor little blog, welcome!  If you take a peek at this site, you'll notice, maybe one? Two posts? All within 2012 or 2011, I'm not sure.  But, there is a reason for this unfortunate lack of posts.  First, with my school and all the events, well, I just haven't had the time!  Between finals, arduous projects, and summer reading, I've just been taking this valuable time to breathe! ... and sleep. Glorious sleep.

Anyway, even though my posts have been of short, in reality, I've had a magnificent year.  School year, I mean.  I joined cross country, startling my whole family!  None of them ever thought I could even make the team, or even run!  But I did, and I placed in the second All-League Team! I got a fancy medal :3  Then it gets better!  Coach named me, "the MVP" of the girls team! And I received a freaking trophy! Which came as quite a shock! Never in my mind had I ever expected to be an athlete! And succeed!

My parents were so proud of me!  Plus, I've never felt so in shape in all my life!!! But then.... .. A faithful friend, my best friend.. talked me into being in the talent show.  Now, it sounds like a great idea on paper, until it all come down to it.  I've had this hobby for awhile now, just singing.  I love it, the music, the tunes, and the beautiful voices of my favorite singers.  To enjoy it all, I just, sing! Only for fun.  But... this little hobby turned into something I wanted to pursue, singing! Though looking back, I'm not sure if I want my life to go that way.  I'll explain later.  I had about a month or two to prepare myself for this.  The day I signed up, I told my dad in the car ride home. "So, what did you do in school today?" "Well, I signed up for the talent show."  "Oh really? (he said sarcastically)  " So, as you can see, he didn't think I'd follow through with this little event, neither did my mom.  Both of them just sort of hovered around the subject, hoping I'd just drop out or something.  NO. I was determined to do this! Even if it killed me!! I'd spent the time singing, practicing, and trying to find the perfect song.  The day before the talent show, I picked my song, "King of Anything" by Sara Bareilles.  After singing it a billion times, I can honestly say, I hate that song now.  Which is sad if you ask me.  The day finally came, my spot was second, at least I'd get it over with.  With trembling hands, I made my way to the stage, and turned to face the crowd.  Except, I couldn't see the crowd. Nope, not a single face.  It was perfect.  My nerves just seemed to fade away! I'm singing next year now too ^_^

After countless tests, hours studying, sleepless nights, several dances, and a trial against myself and bullies, I made it through my first year in high school.

Finally, the reason I haven't been blogging.  The real reason.  .... I've been spending time on another blog I have.... yeah.   I've been abusing this blog! o: sorry.  I had to! For my photography class, I made my own blog, to house my photos.  If you'd like to see it, the address is, : http://photographybyjennalui.blogspot.com/

Which brings me to this, I'd rather be a photographer then a singer.  yep.  There's just no way I'd make it in this crazy music world nowadays.  They just want poorly dressed, icky looking people who sing well with an  autotune.  Which, I refuse to be any of that.  Being a photographer sounds much better to me now.  I can be as creative as I want.  It's a form of art, right? Well, that's that!

and that's my blog!


P.S. I'm kinda in love with this song <3

The Hunger Games movie.

wow. I  mean... oh my. words just cannot fathom how amazing this movie really was.  All of that waiting, two years and 8 hours waiting line, mind you, was worth it.  So worth it. It's been a long time of waiting and obsessing. which, if you know me, means my everything. Katniss is just amazing. But I'll explain all this in another blog post I'm sure(:  So there I was, waiting for over 8 hours in a line with fellow fans of the series. Some didn't even read the book! shame. I made some new friends, and saw a ton of friends from the past(: it really was heartwarming. Even though we all haven't seen each other in a LONG while, (I'm talking seventh grade) we all still have The Hunger Games in common. and we all love it so very very much <3 It was great seeing them all again! eeeep! Since I was dressed in my usual Katniss costsume-- which was made fun of during Halloween-- I had a fan club !!!! All the pain during October simply washed away! I came to the theatre kinda.. well... a little scared to wear my costume! Yet I am a huge fan of the Hunger Games, and wanted to show my pride. I'm so glad I did(: It happened as soon as I emerged from the car into the line. Yes, people began to stare-- but not in mocking me, no. In pure shock and amusement. I felt all eyes one me. My mom swears she heard cheering towards me, and applause all around(: It was a beautiful moment <3 I felt so respected! oh the joy! Those new friends waiting in line with me, were telling everyone I really WAS Katniss! haha!!! That they were my fanclub! Though I did keep in character! XD Another group of girls in line- about ten feet away- were all huddled together over a HG featured magazine. According to my dad--also in line with me-- they were shifting their eyes from me.. to that magazine.. muttering.. "she kinda looks like Jennifer Lawrence." LOL do I really? someone please tell me XD I had many pictures taken of me(; so the wait in line was even fun!!My newly found friends and I walked around the entire building of the movie theater, to find people lined up all around it. circling it. o_o and we had a spot about seventh in line!!!!! I got a great spot in line, thanks to my dad(:  Finally, the line was up and moving. I really don't think the movie theatre expected such a huge turn out! they really weren't prepared.  We started moving at about 11. My ticket was for 12:15. By then, we really should of been in line inside the theatre.  Now were were standing. blah. that part was not fun for my back, or my legs.  Once they did let us in, the whole place went haywire! insane! people taking off in different directions, running to their theater XD my dad and I ran past a group heading to our theater. I felt like Katniss <3 The place was nearly 1/3 empty. I took off ahead to find a great seat, right in the center, in the middle to the audio(: perfect.

Then the movie starts after about a million commercials. Me and the girls sitting next to me all cried and cheered and the exact same moments haha! I pretty much sobbed when I saw the Lionsgate logo appear on screen. That moment said "the waiting is over. this is real. the time is now." So I cried. the start was perfect. so classic Katniss/Prim moments. Oh, I suppose I should talk about the movie now?? :D

I freaking loved this movie. Best book to a movie to ever exist. Since Suzanne Collins helped co-write this, you really can't go wrong. She really had it her way, and it really showed. Jennifer was AMAZING as Katniss Everdeen.  Her face, her personality. EVERYTHING.  wonderful Katniss. In every possible way imaginable.

Please see this movie. please? pretty please??

AND MAY I ADD, the Hunger Games is now the number one book, album AND movie in America. How about THAT!?  so amazing. it brings tears to my eyes to see this wonderful novel and series get the attention is deserves :)

and that's my blog! 

A mashup of Tangled and The Hunger Games

Tangled? What is this tangled you speak of?  Well you see, if you haven't already heard, my other obsession is the movie Tangled! If you haven't already watched this amazing movie, you'd better start!!!!!!! Which reminds me, this new short, Tangled ever after is coming out during the Beauty and the Beast in 3D in theaters! I really wish to see it... but is it really worth seeing Beauty and the Beast for the thousandth time?! Here's a little bit of the short !

Anywho, to the point, on the 4th, that's Januaray 4th of 2012, this kid met Rapunzel and Flynn rider at Disneyland!!!!!! Oh my goodness, it was really one of the best things I've ever done this year, meeting them eeeppp!!!!!!! :D 2012 is looking pretty sweet so far(:

So there we were, my mom, my sister Grace and I waiting in line for an agonizing 1 hour. Blah. The pain I had in line!!!!! What should I ask them??! How should I act?! Questions like this floated in my head.  When the glorious time came, I stepped inside that little room and came face to face with Rapunzel and Flynn. WOW. At first it was more like, hello, blah blah blah, so I asked the question everyone talks about on every youtube video, and blog ~ to ask Flynn about the contents of his satchel. His first reaction was, "Well, what's in yours?" So I opened up my "satchel" and showed him the sunglasses, my iPod touch (he called it a box) and my water. They were most interested in my glasses ~ which were once my great great grandfathers. I handed them over the Flynn and he put them on XD He looked really good in them I must say. REALLY good.  He was so cute in person (: *sighs* After that, Rapunzel showed me in inside of that satchel ~ Rapunzel's stolen crown! Just what I had expected. What I didn't expect was that she'd place it upon my head!!!! Wow, as that crown beautiful. I really wasn't one of those cheap plastic things you buy. It felt like a real princess crown!!! Oh, and it was shiny and such (: Somehow, it turned into a whole ordeal whether or not they'd trade my glasses for the crown. Hmmmm.. would they get mad if we traded the crown? Little things like this were said in question XD I only wanted to see it! Not exactly traded for it, but OK! :D In retrospect, I could of ran off with that crown! But no, Rapunzel decided to keep it with them :P darn.....

In general, Flynn Rider was much nicer to me than Rapunzel was! Why does this always happen with princesses!( Except Belle, she's always nice(: ) They always seem to let me down! She sorta ignored me. ugh. whatever. Is it because I'm older?!?!?! rawr.  Flynn rider for life!!! :D The one thing that really got me, ( I actually wondered this in line) is if she'd ever heard of The Hunger Games! Enough time went by about the crown that I'd completely forgotten to ask about that! But instead, she asked me about my marvelous necklace!!! The one I'd gotten for Christmas, it's a small pendant with the cover of the hunger games book on it! I forgot I was wearing it!!!!! So I explained everything to her!(: I can now say that Rapunzel knows about the Hunger Games series as well!!! Maybe she'll even read it!!!!:D

And that's my blog!

hunger games. MY obsession.

So, if you know me, which I know only I will read this unless you've come across this blog somehow .... I wish for you to know that I'm THE biggest hunger games fan on the Earth. Maybe not in this universe.. but pretty close.  The hunger games may just be my life. It has changed the way I think, act, and decide.  Katniss for me, is my rolemodel. I've questioned just why she has inspired me so much!  Perhaps it's because I "look" like her. Some friends back in Jr high ALWAYS told me I was her and should of tried out for the part of Katniss Everdeen in the upcoming epic-going to be the most talked about movie, The hunger games. if you haven't read this book YET .. well please leave this blog at once and read it(: THEN come back to this lovely short blog. Honestly, if you don't read it, you haven't lived yet. Yep. That's how dead serious I am about this.

Maybe I could of been Katniss... I don't know... If you know me, do you really think I could of been her?? YEAH I'm talking to you anna! XD btw her blog is really awesome please check it out(: WITH THG movie comes music. No movie would be complete without it. Am I right? Well, one glorious day, I think it was the 23, when Taylor Swift released the song, "Safe and Sound" IT"S AMAZING. I believe it strongly fits into THG and will be amazing in it! (I'll try to post the song later) :D If you've read the book, what scene would fit with the song? I'm thinking along the lines of Rue's lullaby.. but I can't say much if you've read the series. haha. too bad for you! You'll be missing out on so much! mwhahahahah!!

Well, that's all for now!
