Hey guys!
Everyone has a movie they love and hate. I'm gonna name 3 movies that I've truly disliked.
1. Avatar - Because it's boring and I really don't get what it's about. To me it just seems like it's about naked blue people hehe.
2. Paper Towns - this movie had too much profanity in it and plus it just was really cheesy. I don't remember me liking it even in the slightest.
3. The Spectacular Now - this movie was really disappointing once again too much profanity and sexual content. If all teens movies continue to have these awful storylines I believe it can really make teenagers feel cheap. It's almost like the people that makes these movies thinks teenagers will watch anything. I'm telling you, the things that are out now for teenagers is just awful.
That's my list - I could add another 5 bad movies if I wanted to but I won't. Please feel free to share your list of movies you disliked.
How To Be Happy Devotional
How To Be Happy - As teenagers, there are so many emotions experienced on a daily basis. Discovering how to handle all of them can be a challenge. If you feel feelings—any feelings at all—then this plan is for you.: As teenagers, there are so many emotions experienced on a daily basis. Discovering how to handle all of them can be a challenge. If you feel feelings—any feelings at all—then this plan is for you.
Even though this plan is geared towards teenagers, i've found great encouragement by reading it. Right now i'm in a season of sadness a bit. There's a lot of areas where i feel like i'm failing and it makes me feel weak. I get up every morning hoping for change but never see it even in the slightest.
So, I'm beginning to learn to master my moods and not let my emotions be the ruler over my life. I'm beginning to know that joy won't come from money or material things or romantic relationships etc... On its own but true joy comes from God and once you have the joy of the Lord it'll begin to spread over all of the other areas of your life. Slowly, I'm beginning to break out of my sadness and truly begin to draw my focus more and more on God. Yes, I fail and mess up and get discouraged again, but God pulls me up whenever I get knocked down and I have to trust him wholeheartedly that he'll continue to pick me up and help me when I'm down.
The ways I keep myself happy most is when I'm doing something that I love like, singing, writing, reading and of course, blogging!
Having great people in my life like my family and friends also makes me happy.
So tell me, what makes you happy? And please consider reading this great devotional, it definitely gave me a lift. Maybe it won't be the same for you but I enjoyed reading it.

My favorite things about holidays
Holidays, don't we all love them? I sure do. I list a few of my favorite things about my favorite holidays.
Halloween - Dressing up and attending Trunk or Treat at my church. Also watching Halloween movies for the whole month October. (by the way i'm going to dress up as a 50's girl this year😉)
Thanksgiving - Well... I have to admit the food hehe. Watching the parade also and putting up our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving night and now for the past 4 years working on Thanksgiving has been a bit exciting for me.
Christmas - Celerating our Lord and Saviour's birthday of course. And... movies, christmas music, christmas shopping, christmas baking, cute christmas sweaters, Christmas play at my church, christmas eve service at my church, decorations, festivities... what can I say? I love EVERYTHING about christmas😍🙌👼
New Year's - Um... just always happy for another year and new opportunities and changes and everything. And on New Year's Eve I love love watching the Dick Clark's Rockin New Year's Eve.
Easter - Easter is just a really moving time for me. I love watching the Passion play at my church and volunteering. I love reading the crucifixion story in the bible, I love watching movies about the Resurrection and the only non-biblical thing I like about Easter is dressing up I must say. But overall it's a great holiday.
4th of July - I love cookouts and watching fireworks and listening to throwbacks on the radio. Oh! And wearing something patriotic including my nails.
That's my favorite holidays and what I love about each one. Please feel free to share your favorite holidays and what you love about them.

How I spend my time alone
Hello Friends!
I would like to share you with you how I spend my alone time.
The library is a great place for me to unwind and relax. I usually sit in a chair near the window and read or pray or write and it really makes me feel really peaceful.
Sometimes I may sit near the river that is right across the street from my house. I usually read there also or pray.
I also sing a bunch of songs on StarMaker in my room when I'm alone haha.
From time to time I spend my alone time crafting and listening to music and things like that.
I just thought I'd let you guys know a little bit more about me😊

The Struggle of Making Friends As An Adult
Hola!
I've had so much on my heart lately. I want to share with you how difficult it is for me at times making friends as an adult. I know when I was a teenager I had many events to attend where I could meet people such as, the library summer events, youth night and youth events at church and more. But now, since i'm in my 20's it's been a real struggle for me to find really nice friends. Oftentimes I feel like I have to be the one to put more effort in getting friends. Everywhere I go it seems like people already are with who they want to be with. At church I see cliques huddled around in their circle and at the shopping malls or other places. I just feel like i'm kind of stuck in the middle. I don't really know who I really "clique" with other than my family.
Lately, I've just been praying to God that he would lead me to the right kind of friends that I need in my life. I know that when people are desperate it can be dangerous and they end up hanging with the wrong crew. I don't want to be like that. So, even though waiting to find great friends can be very hard at times (especially when it seems like a lot of people ignore me) I can make it through this tough season of life. I know that soon i'll break more out of my shell (in a good way) and be able to experience good things in life.
The feeling of knowing someone is trying to be your friend just because they feel sorry for you makes it even worse. I'd rather be alone than to be pitied. Sometimes I could be searching for things in the wrong places. Sometimes things happen when you least expect it.
It's sad to say but I feel like I connect with more people outside of my church than at my church. Of course, there's many nice people at my church but I just feel connected to them. I say "Hi" and then they say "Hi' back but then they go their way and I go mine. I never have seem to go beyond the initial "Hi." I have at least had a somewhat conversation with my coworkers more so than people at church.
So, to this day I still haven't found ways where I can find real friends. I guess it could be a sign to me to maybe venture out to other places. Maybe other churches and other cool events to attend too. Maybe i've come too accustomed to where I am. I really need to find my way in life and figure out who I am.
I know God has more plans for me than what I can imagine. I guess right now i'm just kind of in a waiting season. I trust that he'll give me what I need in life and more. As the song says "I will trust in you." 😊

My Goals and How I plan to Achieve Them
Hey everyone,
I have many goals and dreams that I that I always try my best at working at achieving them. Sometimes the ways of achieving them could be right in front of my eyes but I'm still busy waiting on God to show me some huge way that I have to meet these goals but really, a lot of the time the solutions are right there in the palm of my hands.
I have two main goals that I'm trying to achieve right now. That goal being, getting a good job and then save up enough money for a car and possibly get my own place.
Another one of my goals is to get better with my writing and I plan on achieving that goal by taking writing classes and writing daily in my journal (and even blogging haha) and also practice some exercises from various writing books. I also plan just to push myself everyday to try to at least write something and continue to stay motivated and everything. I know that writing is one of my gifts and I'd like to use it to glorify God.
Another one of my passions is singing. Singing is something where I feel I can just let go and be my myself. Music gets in my bones and I can't escape the feeling the adrenaline and joy I get through music. It truly is a healer for me in a lot of ways and when I'm going through something really tough, I go somewhere quiet and just sing a song and it's really like an escape for me. I thank God so much for giving us the gift of music. I plan on achieving my singing goal by practicing daily and doing vocal exercises and StarMaker helps me a ton and it's also fun!😁
So, with all of this practice and effort I believe that it'll all pay off one day. I'm thankful for all of the support I have already. I know God will open doors for me. He already has opened a few doors and I'm ready for whatever else he has that lies ahead of me.

My All Time Favorite Tv Show📺
Hey guys!
I'm sorry that I've been slacking with my blog posts but I've been having blogger's block. I've been researching on ways to keep my readers interested and it hasn't been that easy.

I love tv shows and I wanted to share with you some of my all time favorite shows. From my childhood to now.
Zoom - it was a kids tv show on PBS and it was basically a show about middle school aged kids talking about different topics, it showed them making snacks and crafts and of course, they had this thing called "ubbi dubbi" I loved watching that show as a kid. I always wanted to be on there but I never tried to audition.
Another one of my favorites was the Powerpuff Girls - it was a show about three sisters that had powers. Here's a more detailed description
Accidentally created in a lab by Professor Utonium, superpowered sisters Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup regularly save Townsville from evildoers such as Mojo Jojo, the Gangreen Gang and Him. Blossom is the self-proclaimed leader of the trio, Bubbles is the cute one and Buttercup is the toughest one.
I watched that show faithfully everyday. Good times.
Totally Spies - Another Cartoon Network television show and it's a tv show I still like today. The story of the show is self explanatory haha. Three teenage girls who are spies, you get the point.
I'll list some of my favorite Disney shows now.
That's So Raven - I was a huge fan of Raven Symone as a kid.
Kim Possible
Hannah Montana - what little girl didn't like Hannah Montana from 2007-2010?
Good Luck Charlie - another show I like now also hehe☺️
Jonas -because I was obsessed with anything the Jonas Brothers did
Nickelodeon shows: iCarly, Victorious, All That, Zoey 101

Who and what Inspires Me?
Hi people,
There's many people that I admire for a few things. There's a few things I admire in my family and a few in my friends. But a person who inspires me musically and spiritually is Lacey Sturm.
I've read her book The Reason
And it was very moving. It was a good story about her personal struggles in life like drugs, heartbreak, atheism, being somewhat poor and more. I cried reading certain parts of the book. I could almost feel Lacey's pain through reading this book. This book was raw and she wasn't afraid to open up about her personal struggles.
The beautiful part about this book is how she triumphed. She was ready to end her life when God came in just in time to save her and remind her that "there's a reason why she's still here on earth."
Lacey had such a hard life but through her music she was able to heal from all the pain and through Flyleaf's music I'm able to heal also. I know I've had some personal struggles myself, maybe not as intense as Lacey's but I definitely can relate to when you feel like you're at your lowest point in life and you've done all you can. I'll share the description with you so you can get a better picture of what the story is about
There is a reason you exist . . .
The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her old life ended. As an atheist who hated Christians, she thought church was a place for hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. After a screaming match with her grandmother, she ended up in the back of a sanctuary, hating everyone in the room. But what happened in that room is The Reason she is alive today.
With raw vulnerability, this hard rock princess tells her story of physical abuse, depression, suicidal struggles, and more--and her ultimate salvation. She asks the hard questions-- Why am I here? Why am I empty? Why should I go on living?--showing that beyond the temporary highs and the soul-crushing lows is a reason each of us exists and a purpose for our lives.
There's many people that I admire for a few things. There's a few things I admire in my family and a few in my friends. But a person who inspires me musically and spiritually is Lacey Sturm.

The beautiful part about this book is how she triumphed. She was ready to end her life when God came in just in time to save her and remind her that "there's a reason why she's still here on earth."
Lacey had such a hard life but through her music she was able to heal from all the pain and through Flyleaf's music I'm able to heal also. I know I've had some personal struggles myself, maybe not as intense as Lacey's but I definitely can relate to when you feel like you're at your lowest point in life and you've done all you can. I'll share the description with you so you can get a better picture of what the story is about
There is a reason you exist . . .
The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her old life ended. As an atheist who hated Christians, she thought church was a place for hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. After a screaming match with her grandmother, she ended up in the back of a sanctuary, hating everyone in the room. But what happened in that room is The Reason she is alive today.
With raw vulnerability, this hard rock princess tells her story of physical abuse, depression, suicidal struggles, and more--and her ultimate salvation. She asks the hard questions-- Why am I here? Why am I empty? Why should I go on living?--showing that beyond the temporary highs and the soul-crushing lows is a reason each of us exists and a purpose for our lives.
Lacey Sturm is my inspiration because her passion for music and God shows. Whether she has to scream it out or sing it in a soft melody she'll reveal her passion for music and God is real. I don't usually admire any celebrities or anything like that but I don't like Lacey just because she's a great singer but because she's 100% real. Her lyrics, her stories, her voice is real. I know that my dream is to one day share my love for God to the world through music. I know God has given me gifts and I know sooner or later I'll need to publicly express my love for God. And I want people to know me through my music in a real and honest way. I want to express my feelings, thoughts and my heart through my music. I hope that every lyric may bring meaning to someone's life. Because of the dark world we live in today, in praying that people can at least escape from the disasters for a moment and find joy through music. I know hope is still alive and we can find that hope.
So, I wrote this post to talk about who my inspiration is and how I find inspiration which is through music and writing. When I feel down, I go to my notes on my phone or in my notebook and I just jot down my thoughts or I write down a prayer. Those things really give me a lift. Other times I find a song in my library and just mediate on the lyrics and let the music flow into my heart. I cry listening to certain worship songs. Songs like "Let the Heavens Open" by Kari Jobe and "Flood the Earth" by Jesus Culture allows me to really feels God's presence no matter what I'm going through.
Of course God is my number inspiration and Lacey Sturm is my inspiration in the music industry. My mom is my second inspiration after God even though we have our differences and misunderstandings we bond in our own way at times.
So, I hope you enjoyed reading this post and that you'll feel free to leave your comments on this post. Also, let me know what's some things you'd like me to post about on my blog. I'd love to hear your feedback.
That's all for now guys, much love to ya! Bye 👋

quick and easy breakfast ideas
Hi Everyone,
In spite of all that's going on I want to try to keep my posts somewhat lighthearted. I know the Las Vegas tragedy is a big issue but it's way too sad for me right now to even comment on it.
So, I wanted to share with you some easy breakfast ideas I make almost everyday.
Yogurt and granola bars are a great morning snack and gives you energy.
Bagels and coffee (always a win win with me)
Instant oatmeal
Frozen diced potatoes
Individually packaged cinnamon crumb cake (a great on-the-go morning treat)
Yogurt parfait or fruit cups
Cold cereal always works for me also. Especially a dry cold cereal like Wheaties, Mini wheats or corn flakes with sliced fruit in it.
Frozen eggo waffles
Toaster strudels
Store bought muffins
That's what I eat when I'd like something quick and easy in the morningtime. Share some of your favorite quick breakfast foods. I also always love to hear your feedback about any of my posts and my blog in general.
