My favorite band: Imagine Dragons

I like the band Imagine Dragons because of many reasons. The first reason is the lyrics in their songs.  To somebody else it might seem strange or puzzling but I understand what there trying to say. You sort of have to break it apart to understand the meaning. But at the same time its catchy, well all their songs our catchy to me. They also don't use any fowl language in any of their songs. Which is another reason why I like their songs. Another important reason why I like the band is the different type of music they make. For example, some of their songs are slow but upbeat and some of their songs have a hard rock melody. Which is great because none of the songs sound the same, it's always different. I'm also waiting for their new album called 'Evolve' to come out. And so far, I like three songs in the album so far.

Life is Beautiful Reflection

The movie, Life Is Beautiful, is probably the most emotional and powerful movie I've ever seen. Even though it was a foreign movie, I absolutely loved the plot of the film. A Jewish man and his son get taken to a concentration camp during World War II. And the father doing everything he can to hide his son from the Nazi Officers. I'm really fascinated on how they reenacted what a real Nazi concentration camp was back then. Especially the way the Nazi soldiers tricked the Children and Elderly into the gas chambers made to look like Showers. 

I'll have to say the ending was a tearjerker. Well, at least to me it was. But I'll have to say to this was a pretty good movie. I rarely don't watch foreign movies but this movie will probably be my favorite foreign movie. I really recommend watching this movie. You will not regret it.

The Soundtrack Of My Life

1) Lean On -  Bill Withers & Don't Stop Believing - Journey 

These two songs are important in my life because I remember back in the fourth grade that I sung a mixed version of these two songs when I was in Chorus. And I remember a dear friend of mine, who I can't recall her name, joined along with me. We would always stand next to each other as we practiced singing this song for our performance. And I am certain she was the first friend I ever made during Elementary. I'm pretty sure she moved away when I started middle school. But, whenever I hear one of these two songs, I always think of her and how much fun we had during Chorus.

2) Gasolina- Daddy Yankee

Now I usually don't like Latin music but I always hear it on the radio, but this song brings back memories of when I was a much younger. The song is really catchy and I understand why my younger self liked it. Whenever my mother made me do chores around the house, I would always ask her to play this song while I did chores. So now when I listen to this song, it reminds me how energetic and naive I was when I was little.

3) Hope Of Morning- Icon For Hire

So I discovered this song about a year ago and because of this I started liking the band. But this song in particular stands out to because of how relatable the lyrics are. For example, there's a lyric that says, "The last mistake, the choice I made. Staring in the mirror with myself to blame." And that I find relatable because we all make mistakes and sometimes we blame ourselves for it, at least I do. The chorus of the song, "When the hope of Morning
starts to fade in me. I don't dare let darkness have its way with me. And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight. I will not be giving in tonight." What I think this means to me is that we must persevere and never give up. And of course the Hope Of Morning being some sort of motivation that starts to fade but it doesn't make you give up

4) Rock The Dragon- Dragon Ball 

Now this song I don't usually hear on a daily bases but it tend to bring back happy memories for me. So, my dad really love watching this Japanese cartoon called Dragon Ball, and I remember he would play some episodes with me. And the beginning theme song was so catchy that my younger self would sing along to this. I mean I really love watching Dragon ball because of all the action that goes on in the show. And whenever I hear this opening, I think of my father and me watching episodes of this show together.

"Do one thing everyday that scares you!"- Elenor Roosevelt

I have a fear of heights, for as long as I could remember. And now that I think about it, it's a pretty stupid thing to be afraid of. But I can't help but be afraid of heights. Especially when I'm really high up on something and I just so happen to look down. But I feel like I want to experience something even greater than just standing on something really high. When I get older, I want to go skydiving in order to, probably, overcome my ridiculous fear of heights. I know it sounds a bit extreme to attempt skydiving but I think it would be much better than bungee jumping.

The Beginning Of The End

I really can't believe it's already May and I'll be graduating on June 1st. It's kinda hard to realize that I'll be going to High School soon. I feel like everything is going to fast. I even remember the first day of fifth grade, now I'll be starting High school in a couple of months. I'm a bit anxious starting High School, since it is a big school after all. I went to a opening night to the high school I'm going to, and I'll have to say it's huge inside. I feel like I might get myself lost on the first day. And it's almost a few weeks before I finished the 8th grade and start summer vacation. Half of me is excited for High School and the other half of me is a bit anxious going to a new school with new people from different schools. But I guess it'll be fun making new friends.

Lord Of The Flies Book Blog

The story starts with a plane crashing onto a deserted island, stranding a group of schoolboys differing from young and oldest. With no adult survivors, they must survive all on their own and they eventually select a chief to lead them. The main character, Ralph, is elected chief after blowing on a conch shell to assemble a meeting. He eventually sets rules in order for everyone to follow and he even comes up for a way to get rescued by making a fire in order to send a signal to any nearby ships. But eventually everything falls apart as a mysterious beast roams in the island, frightening the boys enough in order to rebel against Ralph and kill the beast themselves without Ralph ordering them around. This eventually leads to chaos and brutal murders with one another. Ralph tries to keep it under control but eventually loses hope in ever getting rescued.

In my opinion, the plot for this book was really great and so climatic. Out of all the characters in the story, my favorite was Jack. His development throughout the book was the most drastic out of all the characters. And I really liked that about his characters. It made the book more interesting to read. The words used in this book were quite strange and hard to read but it was published in the 1950s. Overall, I think this book is great for anyone interested survival and adventure stories.

My New Puppy!

So recently I have gotten a new puppy, who I have name Jane. She is a three month old pit bull. She is absolutely wonderful and sweet little puppy. She is a joy I have in my life right now. Having her around brings nostalgic feelings about my Yorkshire puppy I had when I was 8 years old. Taking care of Jane has been pretty easy so far. She has grown bigger since we brought her home and she'll grow much bigger as time passes. She is very energetic when playing, she especially bites when she plays. And I have a few bites marks to prove it. Having her in my life makes me more relaxed and eases my stress. I hope she'll stick around much longer than my Yorkshire.
