Mind over Matter

The mind is strange, beautiful thing. It can do amazing things that are unexplainable in science. Deep in the depths of the mind is the unknown.

The way neurons process images and beauty are mind-blowing. The mind can capture memories from years ago. It is able to sense surrounding and verbalize thoughts.
It is able to create virtual realities that we call dreams. It is able to learn knowledge and apply it to life.

The mind is something that truly amazing, and we may never know the true extent of what it is able to create; I'm strangely okay with that. If we knew everything about the mind, there would be no magic.

Beauty Quotes

None of these quotes are mine, but I do love them dearly. Create goes to all of the owners. 

I'm back.

Long time, no see. Hello, my friend.

Its been a while...I haven't written a blog post for about a year. Almost a year. 320 days to be accurate. 7680 hours. 460,800 minutes. 27,648,000 seconds. That is crazy amount of time. 
I kind of ventured off the path of writing. I used to love writing (fragments and typos included). I really wanted to get back into my writing, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I have no great excuse or sympathizing reason for my absence. To be honest, no one probably even realized I was even gone.

This is just an introductory post to my blog. Welcome. Some things are going to be changing around here.

I'm hoping if I write everything out, I will feel obligated to do it. So here goes nothing:

•        I want to write everyday (even if I only publish one sentence) 
•        I want to inspire (that has been my goal since day one)
•        Build "my brand" and promote myself
•        Interact more with writing communities. 

The list is short, but that doesn't mean it will be easy.  I'll see you tomorrow. If you have any good advice for beginning writers, I would love to know. How to stay motivated in my writing? How to stay persistent?  Where to find inspiration?

DIVERGENT

This may contain spoilers.

I just finished reading Divergent a few days ago. In short, wow.

I don't know how I feel how the first book ended. I just know Divergent really was exciting.

The book didn't start up like I thought but was definitely a page turner around the middle of the book.

I don't want to give away any spoilers but Beatrice was awesome. I admire the parts in the book where she shows her bravery. The small little details are the things that really make a book for me. I love how Beatrice goes to the tattoo parlor to represent her past. I also like how Veronica Roth uses the theme that selflessness and bravery are often the same thing.

I really love how the pit was depicted in my mind. I pictured it as the inside of an ant hill with its many tunnels and hallways. I think it a place that you could easily get lost in.

I hope the Divergent movie depicts the book well like the Catching Fire movie accomplished.

I can't wait to read the Second book which is on hold at the library right now. Hopefully, I will able to read it soon.

I took a couple of tests to determine my faction and concluded that I belong to the Candor Faction: I value honesty.

  

Remember faction before blood

Book summary (you should really read it if you haven't yet):

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Veronica Roth is the New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, the first in a trilogy of dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.

My new fascination: tattoos

For the past two months, I have been fascinated with tattoos. I love them and their stories.

I found myself lost in the tattoo world.  I have been researching and watching various TV shows involving tattoos. I have been looking at different styles and designs. I looked at numerous quotes that I thought would be awesome tattoos. 

I even created a folder on my laptop dedicated to tattoo ideas from placement to specific designs. 

I found out that I really like script tattoos. 

I just wanted to share some of the tattoos and tattoo ideas that I thought were amazing:

Wow...I never thought about bringing How to Kill a Mockingbird into the tattoo world

Isn't this the coolest? 

I love how the portrait is made. 

This is pretty cool. 

Books! I love how the tattoos forms onto the spine making it look like the books are swaying back and forth.
Pretty awesome. I love the book that is falling at the side. 

I think I just the significance that this quotes is from one of my favorite movies. Can you guess what movie?

Yeah. 

This is one of my favorite ones. I would add on to the quote and say "for wit and inspiration"

Straight to the point. Simple. 

This one is cute. I love it. 

This one is one I would just get the B+

Yup, this one is really cool

I actually have a picture that I made with this quote on it.

I like to believe this quote that represents all of the Mortal Instruments Series

Yeah you can say I have been thinking about tattoos a lot lately. Maybe even over-thinking.

My New Love

I absolutely love the Mortal Instruments Series by: Cassandra Clare.

I'm on the third book which is the City of Glass.

I would highly encourage this series.

What's it about?
1st Book's Description (The City of Bones):

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?




This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare’s ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Why is it amazing?

In my opinion the characters are more important than anything. More important than the plot, setting, or writing style. The characters make the story. Clare nailed it when it came to the characters. I love the dialogue and how the characters interact with each other. 

They always have something snappy to say at the other. It is amazing how they get anything done in the books so far. 

I'll right an updated version of this review when I finish all the books. So far, so good. 

Did you hear, it's a movie too?


The movie wasn't the best but the dialogue from the book was pretty much the same which I loved. The ity of Bones didn't get much praise but it wasn't a complete fail. Despite the critics, rumors has spread that the second book the City of Ashes is set in pre-production. They're changing up a lot of things to make it a really big success. I hope the 2nd movie is spot on like the Catching Fire Adaption. 

Here's the trailer:







Favorite Quote from series so far:

"All the Stories are True"

Excited.

"Hellooooo, Destiny?

Where have you been? 

I've been looking everywhere for you." 

I know, I know. I been gone for awhile  an awfully long time. 

Today, is going to be a quick post too. 

Double sorry. 

I just wanted to tell everyone that I am really trying to dedicate myself to my writing. 

I'm really pumped and I promise that isn't one of those new year resolutions that you never finish. And that is because I actually started writing more before the new year: two weeks into December. 

This means that writing is already starting to form a habit in my mind. 

I'm super excited. 

Wanna sneak peek of my short story's cover?

 

FYI I only did the text and found the picture for this cover. 

Who ever drew this piece of art is awesome. 

This quote is by Thomas S. Monson. 

I'm so excited. I'm actually putting something together and finishing what I started. Once i'm finished I'll send you guys a link to it on Wattpad. 

Nothing fancy but a good start. 

Ok, I have to go. Have a great day. 

Have a great year. 

Volunteering!

Recently I found out that I was edible for the National Honor's Society at my high school. I was so happy and proud of myself. I didn't quite know what the National  Honor's Society (NHS) was but I was interested in what it was about. I had no idea when I went to recruiting meeting that NHS had anything to do with volunteering.

I guess I'm just that oblivious about my school's extracurricular activities.

I also didn't know that it was such a big deal either. I guess I should have now based on the "National" part. The principal said it is a great opportunity and we should definitely sign up which translate into you need to get in this club. I been reading a bunch about volunteering. Yeah, it sounds crazy but I have been researching about volunteering instead of getting my butt up and actually volunteering.

My friends and I have been talking about what volunteering projects we are thinking about doing once we get in the NHS. To be honest, we don't have join the NHS to volunteer in our community.

That's why my friends were talking about volunteering together even if we don't all get in the NHS. And hopefully, we do get in.

Inspiration

I haven't written a post in so long, and I missed my writing. To be honest, I haven't had any needs to rant and complain recently. Yup, I pretty much saying I apologize by not apologizing.

I hope you didn't forget about me while I was gone.

I have a ton of things to tell and hopefully I will sit myself down over the weekend and write constantly making up for the time I have lost. I'm sure if I squint hard enough (even though it is very unhealthy habit) I can find inspiration from life to talk to everyone about.

So my post idea for today is about inspiration.

I kind of picked this topic to make me write more. I haven't been writing at all. I basically blamed it on having to go school and spend hours doing homework that I procrastinated over. I think the first rule of inspiration is to...

1.  Find inspiration from your surroundings and what's going on with the world. This is the main contributor to ideas and inspiration.

2. When finding inspiration make sure it is something you are passionate about. (How else are you going to commit to it) In other words, if the idea isn't going to work, it is not going to work right now. I'm not telling you quit but you shouldn't waste time on something that doesn't add up.

3. I found this rule online which is don't drown in inspiration. I think this means that you should have focus and goal. I think I need to work on this one. I have some many ideas and objectives that none of them ever get done.
4. Sometimes you need to start with a clean slate. You should see the numerous drafts that I have and ultimately end of deleting them even though they were some good ideas but I had to do too much sorting to find them.

5. And finally, (cue the drum roll) I think the greatest way to inspire yourself is to inspire others.

That's why I wrote this post. 

I hoped this inspired you to get back to work. 

Butterfly

I was running with my dog in our backyard. We are running around and I see this gorgeous butterfly. My dog pulling me in the opposite direction of the butterfly. I want to take a picture of it so bad. It looks absolutely beautiful and I saw the same type of butterfly last week and it flew away. I don't have my phone on me so I start racing back up the driveway to the house. My dog is right beside me and bets me to the door. I swing open the door and hop up the stairs with my dog trailing beside me.

i'm shouting for everyone to get out my way because I don't want to stop. I dash off to my room and grab my phone and turn around.  I jump down the stairs and unlock the door. I say to my dad that I will be back in one minute. I shut the door behind me and take off. I can feel my hair going back and forth while I tred down the driveway. I open my camera app as I'm running. I see the butterfly in sight and slow my run to a slow-paced walk. I sneak up on the butterfly on the flower.

I thought it would instantly fly away from me but it wasn't scared of me. I was amazed of how something so pretty was just fluttering around in my backyard. I was so excited. I finally got a picture of this butterfly.

 I ran back up the driveway and into the house. I showed everyone my three little pictures. They thought the pictures were cool but cool doesn't even begin to describe to me.

summarizing

For one of my school assignments I have to created a summary based on this lecture called the Danger of a Single Story By: Chimamanda Ngozi:


My teacher broke it down a lot. I think he really wants us to grasp every aspect of this lecture and to show us how to take good notes and how to write and effective summary of the whole thing. My teacher, trying to brag and say the assignment wasn't impossible, wrote a three thousand word essay about the twenty minute lecture. I think he was really getting being a show off and those words were from something else. I'm 30% sure.My teacher is crazy I can just imagine him sitting there glued to a screen typing away for no reason. He had no purpose to do that. Then, he made an "edited" version that was 90 words long. I took my main points and notes as guideline along with his 90 word count in mind and got to work. I think I did a pretty fantastic job, I may add.

I was so happy when i finished all my homework that night

It might seem strange but summarizing is really hard for me. I want to explain everything to the person I'm talking to and I only have a limited amount of time to say it so they have a basic understanding of the topic. I have to keep reminding myself that the most interesting thing to me isn't that important from a big-picture point of view.

Here's my summary:

As humans we are not single stories; everyone is an individual and cannot be prejudged by someone else’s side of their story. That person doesn't have that individual’s side of their own narrative. We try to predict, assume, and consume the first information we receive, but we have to understand that we are not always completely right. We have the ability to listen and become aware that it is more than one story. 

What do you think? Doe it make sense if you haven't listened the lecture before hand?

It is totally short (73 words) and every time I look at it I want to add a few more hundred words to it.

I'm going to just leave it alone. Every time I second guess myself in the past, I make it worse and I turn in a big sloppy mess.

Flawless: A book Review, I think

I finished this book I was reading called Flawless.
 It has been one of those books that I read all it in a just a few days which is rare for me because I have a very picky taste in books and a busy schedule (I pretend to have a busy schedule, but in reality I just have a lot of unfinished projects and a short attention span if I'm not interested).

I really enjoyed this book. Yes, it is predictable, but it is so funny how the author tells the story. I loved how the author gave the main character, Sarah, a voice.

The novel is a modern retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac.

The Sarah and Kristen are both partners in crime of getting this guy named Rock to fall for Kristen even though Sarah likes him too.

"At first when I heard the name Rock I instantly thought of The Rock, duh. Who wouldn't?" My inner girly-girl voice says. Then once I got to know the character, he was a honest, smart person.

To the characters, he is whole packet and more. The book is pretty self-explanatory on the back cover which says:
Sarah loves Rock.
Kristen loves Rock.
Rock loves ?????

And honestly I don't know why I picked up the book. The summary to me didn't really capture the good of the book. Yes, those lines are the gist of the book, but the gist of the book is so boring and predictable. The detail and characters make the story enjoyable and that's what I love about the book.

Boarding my dog.

Hey everyone,

I was on vacation last Saturday through Wednesday. It was...different. Besides the point of my experience which I'll talk about in later post, I wanted to talk my dog's first experience with boarding.

We dropped our dog, Bandit, off Saturday at a small boarding place which was actually on a road that was named Barker. It was a cute little cabin and seemed like an actual vacation for Bandit. Honestly, I didn't know what to think about the process and the way Bandit was going to react.

The minute we walked in the place it was three other people that trailed behind us with their dogs. Bandit being his obvious overly friendly self wanted to basically wanted to harass the other dogs. It was these two small adorable dogs. They looked like they were mocking Bandit and really want to play with him.

The other lady with this lab that kind of looked like Bandit since he is a lab mix just sat there looking at the chaos. This fuzzy dog, I forgot the breed, snapped at the tiny dog and the owner took her outside.

A worker finally came out and started checking Bandit in. She asked about the food amount and that was it. That was it. I thought they would ask other questions even though we set up the time and stuff. It was strange. one of the tiny dogs started to poop on the floor like it was completely normal. After that little scene was cleaned up, Bandit excitedly followed a worker to his suite.  

Catching up on my DVR

I haven't been blogging like I was for quite awhile. It's been ten days. I'm the type of blog that really wants to reach her audience every other day. Its been hard trying to think of something to write about. Then, I was really busy because I went on vacation. It was awesome, but I missed my little blog readers.

Enough with the apologize for having a LIFE which I do have. It might not seem like it, but I don't loom around the computer all the time. Only about 80% of my life is about me flashing a screen in front of my face.


When I came back home yesterday I was so tired, but I practically made my tired eyes stay up to watch one of my favorite show Drop Dead Diva on the DVR. I found it weird how they started the show back on the same day and everyone obviously looked different. Besides the fact, the show is brilliant and keeps making fun different turns from the average show. They always male me curious to think what is coming next.

The next morning, I jumped up early because I couldn't sleep. I was extremely exhausted, but I was excited to go get my dog that was still at the boarding place. Before we left, I watched my recording of Pretty Little Lairs. I have to say it is less thrilling to watch Pretty Little Liars when it's not dark outside and you have the will to rewind so you don't have to hang on to every word the lairs are saying. My opinion.

Then tonight, I watched Whodunnit with my whole family minus my little brother (he was a little scared, I don't blame him). IT was extreme I had to admit. I had no idea how the show was going to work, but I enjoyed it. The preview to next show it what horrified, but amazed me the most.  I love how they're really pushing the limits of reality TV. So incredible. I even got the full first episode for you below. Watch it if you dare.




Who do you think the murderer is?

See you in the next post. Trust me. Since I have been back from vacation I found a lot of inspiration and have plenty of stuff to write on my blog.
