Titanic


I Honestly, love the movie Titanic, it's my favorite movie ever! I never get tired of it, i watched it like 4353258 times. I just think it's the cutest love story ever. I just thought it was absouletly horrible when the ship sank, and about 1514 people died. Because everything was going perfect until they hit the iceberg. Everything just turned out horrible and sad. I would'nt mind going to the theaters and watching it In 3D. I'm sure i would STILL cry. But, honestly i think that making all the movies in 3D is very annoying. And especially getting old movies and just putting them in 3D. Like some people actually get tired of old movies. But, the Titanic is very different, because people actually love the Titanic. And for those who haven't watched it can experience it in 3D. 3D movies are cool. But, some people get dizzy. I love the way it comes right in your face like if you were in the movie. I believe that they picked the perfect actors for this movie. You just feel like they are really going through all this. And they actually look like a couple. Especially Leonardo Di Caprio, he's my favorite! I wish i can meet him. They just did a really good job on this movie. I'm sure Titanic 3D will be a success. What do you think about Titanic 3D?

First Kiss


First Kiss

We were standing by the street
staring at the sky
the sun was dripping lower
i looked into your eyes
you saw what i was feeling
I know you felt it too
We wanted time to just stand still
Then forever there'd be me and you
Why can't we freeze this moment?
return to it in time
stay together through the years
proclaim I'm yours and you are mine
so let us freeze this moment
store it safely away
even if we leave this peace
we'll return to it someday

Memories Of You

 

Memories of you

They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today;
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
If tears could build a stairway and
heartache make a lane;
I'd walk the path to heaven and
bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and
nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Summer Time!?

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=shinee&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=shinee&sc=8-6&sp=-1&sk=Nice Sunny day,  Kids screaming as the run out of school. Teens making plans to which to hang with friends/boyfriends in a all day event. Yes it is summer time. Summer is when kids all over the world who goes to school relax for 3 months in a half where theres no homework,trying to fall asleep early for you dont get tired, dont have to hurry and get this/that turn in before grades are closing, try getting to class in time before the bell. Summer! che!! you dont have to do all that. I say its a freedom for kids to do whatever or whenever they want. As in sleeping late everyday, dont have to worry about what they need for school, not getting punish. Even getting a saturday for being late or / skipping, and other lame consequences that involving school. Goin to partys late at night, goin to the movies with the love of your life. For me i Love summer its where i can get away from the getting up early and getting a bad headache of learning where i can relax at home or at the beach laying down drinking smoothies all day. Me i can do that all day if i want. Summer is also where you can Travel to other countries with the family or goin on a cruise. The Weathers are of course nice. Sunny and the wind blowing, you hear the kids playing. Pool party are the way also as the great beaming sun and you and your friends swim in the water.  Summer camp where its a small campus like camping but fun activities. We cant forget concerts, where we see our favorite bands/ singer perforing in  while you wearing short shorts there. Having a barbeque right out your back yard. Summer is the only 1 thing i will always wait for whoever made summer is a master genius. Thank goodness for summer what would we do without it!?.

Does The Weight And Uglyness Matter?

Many people are still getting pick on for their weight or how fat she is or skinner she looks. The weight isnt really the problem people knows what they look and weight but they keep goin on and on about that particular person. Some out there seem to find themselves pathetic and think the useless stuff about themselves. For example Stacy a regular school girl in new york was bully because of how big she was and how  ugly she can be.No that stuff does not matter anymore. It does not concern the mainly people out there who are losing hair from cancer and they still approve the beauty in them. Some out there approve in life even through the hardships they been through they are still being accepted for their looks. Have not wonder what Lifes they are goin through or wonder ''heyy she seem nice let me be friends with her/him''. No there are negetivity's out their in the world. Thinking they are better looking then them and think they will feel emberras if a friend shes her/him talking to that person. First off your true friends shouldnt brag about who you talking to its your decision on who or what you want to do for that person. Secoundly, that person out there i say you should be open with yourself thats what makes the world and everyone out there see you. Thirdly, there are others out there that has succeeded in life that is being seen by others ugly or fat that can be over look by another. Finally, your true self can be the most beautiful thing that can make some one change about you just be yourself. You are your own treasure dont let few words put you down. This conflict of one another is similar. We are not different we are all the same person. We can change ourselfs as we have faith in ourself which is the first step of succeeding in a change. I say that you people out their dont listen to what others say out there about you i say just keep believeing in yourself ( AND GOD) that he will bring happiness in your life where ever you go and looks isnt include it. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE GOD ALWAYS CREATES BEAUTIFUL !!!.THINGS.http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=monique&qpvt=monique&FORM=Z7FD1#x0y361
HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY YOU GUYS AND GO TO CHURCH CAUSE GOD IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFES :)

Let your voice stand out

Everyone has a certain voice that they have, yet they feel so ashamed of it, don't be embarrassed by it because people laugh at it, say "you can't sing", and tell you you'll sound better with your mouth shut. The reason people say those type of hateful things is because they wish they could talk like you, sing, dance, and wish to be you since they know deep in their heart they are ashamed to let their voice stand out from all the rest. So many people don't know how their real voice sound like because those people had chances and opportunities to use that voice, but in the end they just refused to use after all those chances they had. So if you have a good voice seize every moment you can get with it because it could be your first and last moment to do so with it and if you just pass it by you'll sound like every other boring adult in suits out there.

                  Nicki Minaj or Honey Cocaine?



I know when you look at this what automatically comes to your my is Nicki Minaj  is way better, Duh, but I bet you don't even know who Honey Cocaine is (If you don't know click on the link).
Onika Tanya Maraj, also know as Nicki Minaj is a great rapper/singer. She has release three mix tapes between 2007 and 2009. She signed with young money entertainments in 2009. She later released her own album called, Pink Friday. A month after it was released it was certified Platinum. In Nicki Minaj's songs she mainly talks about Superior power over men/women. I Like to listen to her old songs because I strongly believe they are better then her new ones.
Sochitta Sal, better know as Honey Cocaine is one of my favorite rappers alive, her name simply means that she likes/gets gold (Honey is a gold color) and she is dope (Dope is another name for Cocaine). Honey Cocaine was one of the first people to be signed to "Last Kings" (Tyga's new label). Many of you may know Honey Cocaine because of "Heisman". That's how I first heard of her. In her music Honey Cocaine basically talks about who she is also things both women and men can relate to. When I heard her mix tapes I was like ,"Dannnnnnnnnnng". Nu ff Said!
After you clicked on the links I bet your thinking to yourself Does Nicki Minaj have competition, Hm mm? Well ill answer that question for you, "Yes, yes she does. Look out Nicki Honey Cocaine is coming for you.


Silence!!

When there comes a time to say what you need to say i say shut your mouth cause there are times where it can be hurtful. My problem about this environment is the rude words that will come out of someones mouth please keep it yourself. Violent words can always hurt a piece of that person. Someone may have what they think is true and honest but if its not in a nice tone please dont say it all.

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=silence&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=silence&sc=8-3&sp=-1&sk=http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=miss+A&view=detail&id=30B11E10C39401FB505007A8E18FE0236497F857&first=0&FORM=IDFRIRIt can be you who isnt hurt but think about the other person, and how they feel about the situation. If sometimes the word needs to come out please walk away. That person will evantually will respond back and it will not be nice. If you dont that evolves to a dramatic inpact on yourself and that person. Also please control yourself dont act up in front of your friends just to show out. The mature ones can just walk away. Speak up if one of your peers are saying somthing unneccessary things. To avoid  these comments just tell them nicely that you dont like the way they are speaking about or that you feel unconftorable. There are also young adults and kids now that are very not social. I have experience many individuals that doesnt speak because they would tell me that '' i have nothen to say'' or '' i have nothen nice to say thats why im keeping my mouth shut''. I myself respect that and other avoidable outcome. We also have rumors. Rumors are the worst of teens life that ar'nt true about that person. This so called rumor can turn information faster then a text message sending to a friend.  Ignore that situation it is you who knows best and that you know that whoever was spreading that rumors and talking bad stuff is goin to get it right back at that person. So i say keep your mouth shut if you dont have anything nice to say.

The Hunger Games

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=the+hunger+games&FORM=HDRSC2This upcoming trilogy is an amazing action thriller of a novel. Its about a 16 year old girl name Katiniess Everdgreen who lives in a Dystopia(w.o.d. word) world in a country of Panem where the countries of North America Once existed.  The Capitol, a highly strong power that hold the rest of the nations. The Hunger Game is an even which one boy/girl aged 12-18 of each of the 12th district surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised Battle in which one person survives.  It All starts with  Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol where their drunken mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, victor of the 50th Hunger Games, instructs them to watch and learn the talents of the other tributes. They are then publicly displayed to the Capitol audience in a televised session with interviewer Caesar Flickerman. During this time, Peeta reveals on-air his long-time unrequited love for Katniss. Katniss believes this to be a ploy to gain audience support for the Games, which can be crucial for survival, as audience members are encouraged to send gifts like food, medicine, and tools to favored tributes during the Games. The Games begin with 11 of the 24 tributes dying in the first day, while Katniss relies on her well-practiced hunting and outdoor skills to survive. As the games continue, the tribute death toll increases. A few days later, Katniss develops an alliance with Rue, a 12-year-old girl from the agricultural District 11 who reminds Katniss of her sister Prim. The alliance is short-lived: Rue is killed by another tribute. At Rue's request Katniss sings to her, then spreads flowers over her body as a sign of respect—and of disgust towards the Capitol. Due to Katniss and Peeta's beloved image in the minds of the audience as "star-crossed lovers'', a rule change is announced midway through the Games, stating that two tributes from the same district can win the Hunger Games as a pair. Hearing this, Katniss searches for Peeta and eventually finds him wounded. As she nurses him back to health, she acts the part of a young girl falling in love to gain more favor with the audience.   the couple are finally the last two tributes, the Gamemakers reverse the rule change in an attempt to force them into a dramatic finale, where one must kill the other to win. Katniss, knowing that the Gamemakers would rather have two victors than none, retrieves highly poisonous berries known as "nightlock" from her pouch and offers some to Peeta. Upon realizing that Katniss and Peeta intend to commit suicide, the Gamemakers announce that both will be the victors of the 74th Hunger Games. This Movie is really inspiring to me of  how the world is different from that time to this time that we have now and the struggle to survive is reminded me of how people out there that doesnt have any homes, or foods that are trying their best.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoUT7q2iTbQ

A Thousand Words

A Thousand Words is a 2012 comedy-drama film starring Eddie Murphy and directed by Brian Robbins. Eddie Murphy as Jack McCall is a fast talking Hollywood literary agent. He lied to new age guru, Cliff Curtis as Dr. Sinja. Dr. Sinja then put a curse on Jack where there's a magical Bodhi tree in his backyard. The tree has 1,000 leaves on it .Every time Jack speaks, a leaf falls from the tree. When all the leaves fall just like the tree, Jack will die. Now he has to find a way to communicate with others without losing leaves . I never seen the movie but i plan on it. Every movie i watch starring Eddie Murphy is worth my time . I'm not too sure about this movie though. Eddie Murphy, as we know , is a very funny guy. So to take his voice out of a movie the movie might be plain. I'm still hoping the movie is funny. i was looking online and some reviews said the movie was awful. But that's there opinion.
If you seen the movie feel free to comment. If you haven't seen the movie comment on if you would want to see it and if so why? No spoilers though. Don't ruin it for everybody :)
