July Wrap Up | August Goals!

Hey there!!!

It's definitely that time again! Time to wrap up July and get ready for what August has prepared for me!

So July! July was a great time for me! I was able to visit some family members and just enjoy my last full month of summer vacation. Although I did work quite a bit for the last part of it but that's okay because it's good to make money right?! 

I got my hair blow dried, straightened and trimmed this month and that was a very interesting experience which I will definitely get more into in a later blog post!

Even though I didn't hang out with a lot friends that I haven't seen in a while, I did talk to some friends that I haven't heard from in a while! But yes I really do need to try harder to actually hang out with those friends!

Books! Ohh my goodness this month has been all about books! I have been on this book craze and I am thoroughly enjoying it and I hope to continue that craze in August as well! :D

Now onto my August goals!

• Read at least 4 books! (hopefully school won't get in the way Dx)
• Seriously go through my backpack and prepare for this year's school things!
• Get into the school zone! For example... Get your school supplies, books,etc together
• Finish the DeathNote Series! (this has taken me long enough already to get through and it's really good I just need to put it more at the top of my reading list!)
• Find some cool new school clothes
• And if you have time get back to studying Spanish or Japanese (because you don't want to loose it!)

Let's see how well I actually do on these goals of mine! haha!

Here's my favorite song of July that I had been jamming out to :D (I Wonder by: Kanye West)

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave some of the goals that you my have down in the comments section!

Kansas City Trip!!

Last week my sister and I took a trip to Kansas City and we took this trip by bus! It was my first bus trip and my sister's second bus trip.

It was a great experience to have because you're put into close proximity with people from all walks of life!
The reason why were going to Kansas City was to have like a mini vacation to visit some relatives and also because my sister wanted to visit her friend who lives in a smaller town that is really close to Kansas City.

We stayed with our cousin. People are surprised when we tell them that she's our cousin because she in her 70s but she's totally up to date on things and is so much fun to hang around :)

We did all sorts of activities like bowling (which I received some great bowling tips from another one of my cousins-who is one of my cousin's brothers), shopping, going to church, and visiting relatives.

Kansas City has a vast amount of shopping centers compared to where I'm from so my sister and I were trying to get in as much shopping as we could while we were out here. But I actually didn't spend too much money, which really surprised me!

BAM!- I think it stands for books-a-million - was a pretty cool book store that they have at the legends shopping mall! It was nice to be able to visit a bookstore that wasn't Barnes and Noble (even though I love Barnes and Noble!) for once in a while!

On Sunday after we went to church we went to visit my Auntie who is the mother of the cousin who we were staying with (she's in her 90s!). Every Sunday all of her kids come to her house to have dinner and watch movies.

The cousin that we stayed with is the top middle one with the white top! She's so funny! In fact all of them are really funny!!

She has a total of 8 children, all from the same father too! Seven of them were able to make it because the eldest of her kids doesn't live as close as the rest of them.

Being around my family and seeing all the family portraits my my Aunt's house really made me want to have a big family of my own :) I usually would say to myself the the maximum amount of kids I would allow myself to have is 4, but seeing all of them together gave me a really strong longing for a big family! I guess we'll see what actually happens though! haha!

I'm so happy that I went on this trip because at first I was iffy on if I actually wanted to go or not because I wanted to keep on saving money by working more. But it was such a great experience and I can't wait to go back!

Thank you for stopping by! :D

Enjoying the Outdoors

On Sunday my mother, my sister and I went to visit my Grandmother who lives in a little town not too far from us. My sister and I had worked earlier that day and we were pretty tired from work but our mom said "I waited all this time for you guys to come back from work so we could go visit "Little Mama" (that's what we call our grandmama :D) I'm glad we did go!! Not that we don't visit her often, we actually visit her a lot. But this time we went on a walk around a little pond in her neighborhood. I've been around it before but this was the first time I actually walked it! It has a distance of 6/10 miles so a good size i would say! 

It turned out to be a very beautiful evening filled with conversation and laughter. While my mom and Little mama were chit chatting, my sister Andrea and I were catching up and reminiscing on things of the past and cracking up a goofy things that we've done in the past. Instead of staying inside and reading my book, like I tend to do pretty often, we stayed outside basically the whole visit and it felt really good to feel the summer breeze and be away from technology for a little while even though I did take a couple of pictures here and there lol! 

Have you been spending much time outdoors this summer? Let me know! Thanks for stopping by!

July Goals!!!

This month I'm going to try to keep it simple and yet not too simple because this is the last month that I have before I have to go back to school! O.O It's gone so quickly so I need to make the best of it!

• Read 3 books
• Hang out with friends that I haven't been around in a while
• Finally clear out my school backpack!
• Do a protective hairstyle
• Be a more consistent blogger hehe...
• Discover some really good music
• Get back to writing in my fauxbonichi
• Enjoy the last bit of summer that I have!

Let me know what kinds of goals you have for this month! :)

Let's wrap up June!

I have been so absent this month it's really bad!! and I'm sorry!!! >.< Let's just say life and laziness got in the way ;)

A whole bunch has happened this month!!! So let's get into it!

First things first I got into a new craft/activity/journaling thingy known as Hobonichi journaling! But mine is a Fauxbonichi! You may be wondering what this is exactly and what it consists of. Basically a Hobonichi originates in Japan and it's an almost daily journal where you draw pictures and journal about your day! I've heard that the Hobonichi journal itself it very expensive along with the shipping and handling that comes with it. So what people have been doing to avoid these expenses is they find a different kind of journal and do the same thing in that journal. Most of these journals have been graph paper style of pages. Here's some examples of what a Hobonichi and Fauxbonichi (meaning fake hobonichi if you didn't catch that already) may look like!

Hobonichi:







Fauxbonichi(This is mine!):

There are some really beautiful fauxbonichi journals out there and it makes me wish I was that gifted at drawing! But this has really helped me get back to practicing my drawing skills because it's been a while since I've drawn!


Along with journaling a lot I was buying a reading a lot of books! I only read 3 books this month (one of those books only being 40 pages long) but I've really been in the mood to read! I read Just one Year (The companion book of Just One Day), Just one Night (this was the 40 pg e-book) and The Fifth Wave!

I was trying to read The Scarlet Letter but I was getting bored with it and read The Fifth Wave instead :) I'll go back to The Scarlet Letter eventually because it did have some interesting parts but I felt like there's just so much unnecessary filler in there.


This month was the month where I was scheduled to get my wisdom teeth pulled!! I was so nervous but I'm so happy that it's all over! I'll have to admit I was kind of a wimp and became lazy after I got my wisdom teeth pulled! What was super annoying was that I would wake up in pain because the medicine I took before I had gone to bed would wear off, so that wasn't very fun at all. Here's the pic that I posted on Instagram after I got them taken out! X'D

It's been about 3 weeks since I got my wisdom teeth pulled but I can't make certain facial expressions without feeling where I got them pulled out which totally sucks! Hopefully that all will go away because I have to make certain signature silly facial expressions! Haha!!

Now let's go into the goals that I accomplished for the month of June~!

          ✔Read 3 books (That is if a 40 pg e-book counts!)

          ✔Get rid of some clothes! (I did this a lot quicker than I had expected!)

          ✔Get back to working out (I kind of did this and kind of didn't...I was consistently working out my abs --thanks to TheIndieByline :) -- until I got my wisdom teeth pulled and then I stopped because I needed to recover, but I did get back to working out! I just need to get back to it again!)

Overall I was a slacker and not a slacker in June! How did your June go!? Let me know in the comments box down below! Hopefully it went well!!

I found this song really catchy and I heard it from SnapChat for their Father's Day snapchat! And I think it is quite fitting for the summer :)

May In Review | June Goals!

Happy June Everybody!!!

May is already over and June has come! May was one of the most stressful and also one of the most exciting months so far in this year :) With finals and papers that I had to write just around the corner from graduation and relatives coming in, it was a lot to handle! But I made it through and now I can enjoy myself to the fullest this summer break!!! 

Here's some of the things that I was able to accomplish from my goals in May:

     ✔Go to at least one Grad Party - I actually went to 2!

     ✔Spend good quality time with my relatives

     ✔Graduate from High School! :D

     ✔Celebrate my 18th Birthday!

     ✔Treat yourself to some cute online stationery items

     ✔Read two books - I finished reading Death Cure and I re-read Just One Day

This summer I'm going to try to spend my summer to the fullest! That means I'm going to try not to just sleep it all away! Haha I already did that the first week - hopefully I got it all out of my system!

Without further ado here are my June goals!:

• Don't sleep your summer away!
• Read 3 books
• Seriously clean out/get rid of some clothes
• Recover quickly from getting my wisdom teeth pulled Dx 
• Post on here at least once a week - or more! hehe
• Get back to practicing Spanish! 
• Get back to working out!! Haaaa I've really been slacking!!
