CE: Earthquake

I'm sitting here in my Pre-cal class taking notes like a good girl, and then BOOM. Oh my god, I was terrified. I wasn't sure if someone was just jumping but then the whole room started moving. I started shaking. lol, I do not take earthquakes well. That was so scary. I was so about to like go under my desk but then it stopped, and everyone in the classroom didn't seem to be freaking out. So I heard it was like a 3.9 or 4.5 earthquake? I don't know, but I know I was pretty scared. It kinda took me a while to get over it, but then of course we all had to continue our notes and yeah.

So when I was younger, I like never got to experience earthquakes, we always had earthquake drills or something, but never an actual one. But in the past few months, I've gone through three small earthquakes, but big enough to feel it. I don't remember having this many when I was younger. It's pretty shocking, well not that much I guess. But we haven't had a big earthquake yet.. The last big one around here was in 1989 I think. I feel like another big one is coming. Need to get ourselves prepared! Every time we feel an earthquake happening, most of us don't even go under a desk or something for protection, most likely, people run to the computer and tell Facebook. And during the one in school today, everyone just kind of sat there in shock. No one went under their desk, I just heard people screaming./laughing. I don't think a lot of people took it seriously.

FREE: A lot of Changes

Looking back on my freshman year, oh god. lol. Let's just say that year sucked. Like it sucked a lot. I'm not going to get into detail, because I hate thinking of negative things. Let's just say I lost a lot of friends. And because of that, I just gave up on people. I didn't even bother trying to meet new people. Anyways, this year, I told myself I'd be more open, and try to make new friends, since I never tried last year. Wow, I'm so much happier. New friends = happiness. I've been keeping more of a positive attitude, since I had such a negative one freshman year. And I haven't been letting people walk all over me, or talk down on me. That was a big issue last year that affected me greatly.

I like hated everyone. haha. I was such a hater before. But that was because I never tried to get to know people more. I don't know why I always automatically assumed that people would hate me. This year, I got to know people better, and met amazing new friends. More hangouts, more fun, more laughs, something I haven't done in a while.. So, so far I've been liking this new year, and I hope I continue to for the rest of the year. Got a long way til the end of high school, but it's probably going to go by fast. High school messes a lot of people up, but you decide on how you want to handle it. Yep.

RP: I'm a Lazy Texter

I saw this on Kristy's blog,

"Honestly, I don’t think I really need a phone anymore."

I remember I never had texting until the end of freshman year. Oh my gosh, do you know how excited I was? Pretty darn juiced. Anyways, over time, I just got really lazy, and I'm the slowest replier you'll ever meet. Well I don't know actually, haha. But yeah, I'll get a text and just look at my phone and throw it on my bed or something. I guess I just feel there are more important things I could do than reply to that text. To be honest, I'd only reply to someone if I like you,or you're cute. Or unless it's really important. And to the others that just text me a lot or on a daily basis, I'll reply slow or fast, but I'll eventually get to it.

Recently, I don't get as many texts as I used to, because I assume people got tired of texting me. lol. I would get tired of texting me too. Oh yeah, I like never answer calls too. So my phone's just there, and I have no use for it anymore. No one hits me up, and I like never hit anyone up because of my laziness. But I kind of miss when no one texted. Only called. I think it's more fun. But people are constantly texting or talking behind a screen, it makes it awkward to talk on the phone.Or that's how I see it. Ah, technology, gotta love it!

CE: RIP Steve Jobs.

I know I already made a post about him for another assignment, but I felt the need to do it again for my current events post. Steve Jobs was one of the most inspirational characters anyone can look up to. He has many famous quotes because of his pure knowledge. He really changed the world today, I just can't imagine what it would be like if the Apple industry never existed. So many people use an apple device in their everyday life. Whether it's for music, phone, computer, games, anything, it's such a big part of people's lives. Apple is one of the most successful companies out there, and all because of one person, Steven Jobs. The creator of this genius brand.

When he died, it affected so many people. I can't stress how many people love the Apple company. I love it. It's become so popular because it is just complete intelligence. And it all started in his Silicon Valley garage. It has improved our lives in so many ways. Even  Apple says, "The world is measurably better because of Steve." Seeing that he passed away is really sad. I wonder what Apple is going be now. It'll probably still be really successful, but it won't be the same without him anymore. People will forever mourn over him, but may he rest in peace. ): 

RE: Weather, why must you be so difficult?!

As my homie nugget Gendarme says,

"The weather in Bay Area has been really bipolar than usual. This whole week has been sunny, rainy, and vice versa all in one day." 

All I can say is why. WHY? Why must you be so hard to read. Global Warming is getting pretty bad. Imagine what it's going to be like a couple years from now. It gives me the chills. Our poor earth is in such bad condition right now. I hope we can do something about it. And it's been pretty hard to tell what the weather is going to be. A couple days ago, I wore a short-sleeve and no jacket because the weather told me it was going to be like 70 degrees. But no, it fucking rains in the morning, and I look like a complete dumbass in the morning. But right when lunch is about to start, it gets super sunny, and actually kind of warm. So I guess it was okay of what I wore.

Anyways, the Bay Area has never had extreme weather conditions like these. We've been going through some bumpy weather these past few weeks. It's gone from super hot, to rainy and cold. And then rainy to super hot. I don't understand. Well I do, because of Global Warming, but it's just so weird. I just can't take these constant mood swings the weather has been giving us. And the weather forecast has been giving me mixed signals of the temperature for the day. Man, the weather needs to get off its fucking period. I wish we'd have the right temperature for the season we're in. It's the middle of October, and things are supposed to be cooling down. But I heard tomorrow's weather is going to be like 81. Whoopty whoop. And then it's supposed to rain next week, as what the weather channel is "telling me" which I don't fully trust now. lol. I'm going to go loco.

Free: Addiction to the Internet.

Where do I begin? Our whole life is part of the internet. We like literally live off it. I don't know what would even happen to some people if they didn't have internet for like a week or a month. Our world is so complex now with the internet. Back in the days, our school would never use it. Some teachers didn't even know what it was. But now, most of the assignments/homework/grades are all on the web. It's crazy, really. And using the internet for fun? I can honestly say I'm like addicted to certain websites. Like Facebook, and others. I can stay on the computer for hours, and not even realize it.

But thinking of all the time I waste on the internet is terrible. I want to go and do something more productive, fun, energetic. It's just so hard now. The internet is like a necessity. Most people need it in their lives. And many people are addicted to it. But I guess there are some advantages to the web. My point is, SOMETIMES I wish internet didn't even exist so it wouldn't distract me from like homework, or things I want to do. Or maybe I can try taking a break from my computer for like a week, I want to see if I can do it. Except for homework, and school online stuff of course.. It's not going to be easy, but I know for a fact that I would get so much more things done faster and without distractions.

BC: Just Livin' Life.

I strongly agree with Steve Job's advice because it speaks words of a genius. Obviously, Steve Job's got very far and sucessful in his life because he lived by his advice. He was the creator of Apple, and because of him, our whole world changed dramatically. He truly is an inspirational character and his advice is what got him to where he is. The most genius, repspected, legendary, creative person. And probably much more.

I think that everyone should really take this advice to heart. You never know if tomorrow is promised. So live everyday like it's your last. Because death will come no matter what. I've never really lived by this advice yet, but I really do believe I should. There have been so many things that I've wanted to do, but never got to. I kept telling myself that I would do it later, and I kept saying this like everyday, and never got to it. If I told myself that I would die soon, I would probably achieve so many things in life. If only I had the courage. I'd probably learn a lot about myself too.

Why leave things un-answered, and having that thought eat your mind of "what if"s. Try things out, you never know what may happen. If something bad happens, just get back up and keep walking. If something good, then hell yes, success! For all the people who have always wanted to do something, but never could because of lack of encouragement, remember that death will come and dying without even trying it out will just leave it unsatisfying.

Just typing this and thinking of all the things Steve Job's has accomplished leaves me amazed. Because of him, we have all these cool electronic stuff. The iPod, iPod Touch, iPad, Macbook, and more. Our world would be so different if he never came into the picture. He died with a great name. Rest in peace. Look how far he has gone, he followed his heart, and it lead him to accomplish his big dreams. Don't you want to be like that? Well, we all have our own opinions, but I surely would. I have so many big dreams out there, and hopefully I follow my heart and lead them.

So to all the people who trying to make big choices in their life, just do it. Go for it. You don't know what's going to happen until you actually try it. I know you probably hear that a lot, and it's so common to say, but it's true. It's very true. Yep, that famous quote "you never know unless you try." If you ever wanted to become a singer, try to get a recording contract. If you ever wanted to do something crazy, do bungee jumping or something. If you wanted to join a sport, go try out. If you ever wanted to approach that pretty girl or cute boy, go and talk to them. You got nothing to lose. If it doesn't turn out so well, that embarrassment will just fall away in the face of death, like Steve Jobs says. And once you actually accomplish any of your dreams, you will feel pretty damn good. haha.
