winter fair

so this week my group had music.  on monday there wasnt really anything major, but people continued to bring in their secret santa gifts.  i did not expect it to be ME during secret santa.  also on monday period 3 and i had our secret santa because we were still

planning to get eachother gifts.  so we saved money.  taylor had me, and she got me a shirt from zumiez brah.  tuesday was sort of the same.  people continued bringing gifts in.  not wednesday.  secret santa was kind of a downer because i was the only one without a gift sicne Taven wasnt there.  so i threw a BF but i got over it alreadyy.  on thursday i never went school, but i went hospital for my grandma and then went shopping for gifts.  i spent a lot of money this year, like over $100 for gifts for my friends.  my mom was hella pissed.  noow winter fair day, friday.  my period works first, second, and last shift.  winter fair was aiight.  i never got a lot of pics with my friends but its all gee' i guess.  also, taven brought in my gift, which were pretty gee' socks.  fterschool chez came over and most of our friends went tyrels house and never invite so yaaa, i guess!!! 

highlight of my week would be friday because thats when taven brought in my gift xDDDDD those were actually nice socks!! dri fit ones too!  nice taven, im impressed with the gift.  freals tho they wre really nice socks and ill use them in softball when i go back into the next season.  thanks taven xDD we had to set up the tables and everything just for taven to give me the gift and for taven to get his gift.  jayde pretended to be hope since hope wasnt there xDD but yeah.  lowlight would be wednesday because its so shame for me and i literally threw a bf.  i was actually small kine pissed about how it had to be me tho xDD but i realized i shouldve let it go because its better to give then recieve.

lesson learned is that its better to give then recieve.  tbh i should have let it go, but i threw a bf that i guess entertained some of you guys.  but freals, i should have toned it down a bit, bc it is better to give than recieve, and thats what christmas is all about!

im gonna throw a BF -.-

this is my secret santa bloog.  im sure everyone knows that i was the one who never got a gift bc the person who had me was on a trip.  really nigga, really.  but my secret santa was julia.  i was going all over the place trying to find joggers or a donut sweater but since i couldnt find it i just bought her a $20 starbucks card so yeaaah.  i dont want to rant a lotin this blog because most of you were there when i threw a BF xD -.- and mr.ing if your reading this DONT show that picture to anyone else or i will cut you.  and im freal, i will throw another BF.  what a way to spend secret santa guysss.  and i dont even got a picture of my gift because you guys prolly know why.  so heres a googled pic of what i got for julia!

2 quarter down!

this was a really busy quarter!  so lets just name all the major things that happened this quarter.  It seems like its been forever since we went on the retreat.  but anyways in the beginning of quarter 2 we went on the retreat for 3 days and 2 nights.  it was more fun then last years retreat to be honest.  also after the retreat was halloweeeen !  i was a indian hippie….i really didn't know what to call myself.  then when we got back we had to start planning for ISA already.  I was in charge of ISA for this year, and I'm happy because i never got to work ISA last year.  so it was good that i was in charge and got to work this year.  so yeaaaah lolol.  this quarter we worked and went over yearbook.  i have pages 3-4 and 58-59 i think.  this quarter we volunteered at the book fair to help out and also there was a flu shot clinic to sign up for too.  also we had 4 boys try out leadership.  mahanga, caleb, taven, and siofu.  only two out of four of them are staying in leadership, which is taven and siofu.  siofu is in period 3, my period, and taven is in period 5.  the boys are doing pretty geee'…  but my only concern this quarter was for joy and siofu.  now we get into the winter activities... secret santa was gaaay bc the person who had me never came to school so everyone got a gift but me.  even worse the person is on a trip so like uhhh dont even draw if you aint gonna be here.  so yeah.  i got a ala moana field trip form and its almost the end of the year and winter faaair.  so this is all i go so yeee !

highlight of this quarter would be the retreat because i honestly had fun.  i had way more fun than last year to be honest.  all new periods, new people, and it was a good way to bond with one another and stay away from technology.  besides the fact that on the bus ride home all i heard was notifications and ringing xDDD but yeah i enjoyed the retreat because it was pretty soothing.  from playing volleyball, to staying up playing cards, to the beach, and to playing hide and clap.  it was all just really fun and i enjoyed it.  a really good way to bond like i said.  but a lowlight of the quarter would be winter activities.  specifically secret santa.  not because i never get a gift, but because of all people it had to be meee.  like girl byeee -.-  well kind of that i didnt get a gift.  but out of the whole class its me.  like seriously, i threw a MAJOOOR BF.  most of you guys seen and heard me getting reaaaal salty during lunch or adviosry.  i was so ready to break all the ornaments and just break everything because i was so ready for secret santa xDD  but eh im over it already.

the lesson i learned from this quarter has to do with sacrifices.  i learned as a group leader i need to make sacrifices for my group.  just in general, i gotta make sacrifices for success.  because sometimes i let my feelings get the best of me and sometimes i just need to motivae and encourage myself to make sacrifices for others.  its hard for me, because sometimes i could be really self centered and its not good to be selfish in this class.  so i really learned to make sacrifices this quarter.  for my group, for others in leadership, for a lot of people.  not just in this class, but in and out of school just for the good of others.  making sacrifices is something youll have to learn in life eventually, otherwise your just plain selfish not wanting to give up something for someone else!

Assignment blog : talent strips

this blog blog is going to be about the talent strips.  a project that was based off 3 talents we have that help leadership.  we got 3 colored strips and wrote our name on one side of each one, and on the other side we wrote about the talent we had and how it helps leadership.  we wrote about how we found it, how it helps the class, and then we had to make a presentation about the 3 talents.  on each slide we explained and got into depth on each talent then we had to make a video on demonstrating the last talent since we only shared two with the class.  my 3 talent swede creativity, never giving up, and helping.

the highlight from this project would be going up and presenting.  i really wanted to hear what others talents were, and when i heard some they were pretty impressive.  i liked some, but others were basic.  i think one basic talent of mine was creativity because like 3 other people had the same one.  so i really wanted to be someone who's talents stuck out and i was really trying to think out of the box.  but other then that i enjoyed hearing other's talents and i actually liked going up for some reason.  i also liked the fact on how siofu actually went up.  i honestly thought he wouldn't listen to me no matter how much i bugged him to go up, but he actually did it.  so i was pretty proud that he obeyed and went up and actually did what i asked him to do.  but the lowlight from doing this project would be making the video.  i enjoy editing videos, but in this project i totally forgot about the video so i had to hurry up and make videos and throw and put it all together.  also if you know me, once i start on something i always have to get it done.  so the week before the project was due i was up all night editing and putting together the video.  even though it was due a week later i couldn't sleep knowing it wasn't complete so i had to get it off my plate.  so that would be my lowlight because i stayed up and i had to rush to get some of my videos.

changed i would make would be on my talent strips itself because i thought i didn't put enough on 2 of my strips.  i should've explained a bit more but its okay i guess.  also i would've showed more examples of my helping and used a better source for a camera because i used my phone and it wasn't very good quality.  my editing was pretty gee' but it was just my phone quality and i should've showed more examples of me helping.  i believe i only showed 3 not very good examples.  one was me taking out the trash, the second one was me helping my friend when she sprained her knee, and the last was i forgot xDDDDDDD but i think i put 3.  but thats what i would've changed because i think i could've done more or show more better examples of me helping.  but i just wanted to get it over with and get it done because i explained alreadyyyyy.  but it kinda bothers me that ti wasn't really my best work.  and the last lowlight is that I'm turning this blog in late.  a day late because i forgot about it and i didn't check my planner for this Dx  ugh i was so pissed and now I'm doing it right now in period 3!!!!  going to kmssss…..jk i love my life

the lesson learned is to be more aware of the dates things are due!!!!!!!!!  since i didn't do this blog on time.  this is how i learned my lesson.  but at least period 3 was the only period who realized it and now is doing their blogss so yaaaaayaaayayayayayayyayayayayyayaa.  but yeah my lesson learned it to be more aware of whats going on because if i was more aware of this, i would've reminded my group and we would've all turned it in when it was supposed to be done.  so yeah that it was i learned from this project!

Alright week

so this was an alright week.  in monday i came to school and my ankle was alright.  i could walk but it still hurt so i used my band to school.  tuesday was the same thing as monday.  i stayed home after school for both days and it was alright.  this week my group had ID's.  on wednesday period 3 made a gingerbread house.  we all chipped in $2 each and got the gingerbread house kit.  we made it and decided to eat in on monday when we have our period 3 secret santa.  but we ended up eating bits of it on both thursday and friday.  thursday nothing really happened.  just jobs.  and now friday.  in the morning mr.ing demonstrated the meaning of yelling.  he said joyless name again.  he showed us the difference between yelling and talking which was actually scared me.  we all jumped and especially joylyn.  friday night me and my friends were hanging out.  we went the the park across wood bridge and went in the back with all the trails.  the boys went to the farm and came back with like green tomatoes or something.  then we separated again on two sides with girls and boys and started throwing rocks at each other.  i never got hit xDDD  it was fun and funny tho.  then when people started going home the 3 of us that were still there went to my house then my mom bought us taco bell and we watched world star hip hop fights.  it was a pretty gee' night,

the highlight of my week would be making the gingerbread house.  it was pretty fun but our house doesn't look that nice as the house on the cover (x at least we tried.  but I'm just excited for both the class secret santa and the period 3 one.  on monday period 3 is going to do ours.  I'm just having fun with my period because this time of the year last year i was in a problem so i didn't really get to do much winter activities like winter fair and my period didn't make a gingerbread house.  so yeah it was fun making the house.  but it was the struggle to put it all together.  i made the roof, taylor made the other side of the roof, lori and naya made the sides, and joylyn made the door walls.  but the lowlight of my week would be not going bowling because i actually did want to go.  i stayed back and stayed in mr.celebres homeroom and period 3.  but i really did want to go bowling.

the lesson i learned is that i should make sacrifices for this class.  like i somewhat feel like i shouldn't have gone on the AVID field trip so i could've gone bowling since cheana was the only 8th grade girl from lima xD but i sometimes i think i should've stayed back so i could've gone bowling but at the same time i got no ragrets xDDD  but yeaaah.  the lesson i learned is that sometimes i need to make sacrifices for this class.

ankle problems -.-

this week my group had tv, lunch music, and afterschool sales.  on Monday I went on tv.  Monday was a normal day.  jobs, and then I went home.  but I got sick that day so on Tuesday I didn't go to school.  I felt like crap, and my sister got me sick.  luckily I was feeling better, so I went school on Wednesday.  lori went on TV.  Wednesday I went home and did my homework and blah blah, my daily routine.  Also I worked on my project powerpoint and my video.  Thursday was the same thing as Wednesday.  but we also took AVID pictures for the yearbook.  also we put lights on the christmas tree, and it was so cute.  but Friday was just ugggh.  I went on tv that day with taylor.  also the AVID field trip.  afterschool I went to burger king, and when my dad came to pick mu up I tripped off the curb and sprained my ankle and it was really sore.  I was limping to the car and it was embarrassing.  I was limping all night to where I needed to go, and friends came over.  that night was painful and I cried a looooot.  it was hella sore.  and today I just tripped trying to go down the stairs and I think I made it worse.  I started the week sick, and ended with a sprained ankle.

the highlight of my week would be on Thursday when we put the lights on the tree.  it took us a while because we had to hide the chord and make it look like the lights were randomly placed.  but it ended up looking pretty good at the end.  I liked it, and I thought I was beautiful!  but the lowlights would be getting sick and spraining my ankle.  this all happened in one week!  ugh so annoying.  my ankles all swollen now and I cant walk -.- so much for going shopping !  this better go away soon or im gonna throw a bf.  I hate this uggghh.  but now I have an excuse for not doing chores and other things I didn't like to do before.  I haven't even seen a doctor yet thoooo.  I hope im good by the time I go to school, which I probably wont.


the lesson I learned this week was to always pay attention to where im going.  I sprained my ankle because I tripped off the curb and my ankle bent I guess you could say.  but I wsnt paying attention because I was talking to someone.  so I wasn't watching and I tripped off the curb and it was hard for my to get up and get into the truck.  it was so shame tho, because this was outside of burger king!  I laughed, but it hurt a lot.  so the lesson learned it to always pay attention. you never know whats coming your way.  I wish I could redo yesterday so I wouldn't have sprained my ankle, it sucks.  I better get well soon, its gross looking.  I really need crutches so its easier for my to get places. 

Thanksgiving and black friday week

so this week my group had music.  it was a simple week, and i was happy because we only had 3 days on school!  through out the week we were sharing our strips and doing our year book pages.  monday was basic.  we shared our talent strips in homeroom.  nothing major happened.  so it was just jobs then going home and do nothing, i was bored to the max.  same thing for tuesday.  we shared our talent strips in homeroom too.  wednesday chez came over, and while she was at my house she sprained her knee when she slipped off the curb and tried catching her balance on her leg!!  it was pretty ruff and brutal, i had to get the rolling chair to get her back in the garage ! xDDD she had to ice it and she was limping and couldn't walk.  pretty intense for her.  now thanksgiving.  my family and i ate out at guy kaku then went to waikiki and just walked the strip.  my sister treated us to gelato which was really good and i had a lot of fun!  now black friday.  i left to pearl ridge about 8 and took the bus with my friends.  it was good, but the only thing is i never got to buy anything for myself.  i got all christmas gifts for others.  but tyrel bought me my christmas gift from forever 21 and it was a maroon sweater!!  i was so thankful like omg he's the real MVP.  but thats all for my week.

my highlight of the week would be honestly hearing siofu go up in front of the class to share his talents.  i didnt really have a good impression on him the first couple days he came, and i was close to just giving up on him.  but now he really sort of matured and I'm proud of him because he became more responsible.  he actually went up in front of the class.  i honestly thought he wouldn't have gone up, but he did.  he did his blog and was coming to tutoring and i was just happy how he became more responsible.  but the lowlight of my week would be chez spraining her ankle, because yeaaah.  its just a bad thing to get injured at all.  she stayed at my house tip like 9:30, and she was limping all over the place.  it was the struggle getting her up the curb with the rolling chair xD  but she's doing good now.  its just bad to see her get hurt, it aint a good thing.

lesson learned is always have hope.  i had hope for siofu, and now he's doing alright.  i just hope that he progresses a bit faster and more at the quarter ends.  i want him to be more responsible and i really hope i could make a change in him, i think i could.  just always have hope, and you might just get what your hoping for!  but you can't just hope for things, you gotta make them happen!  you gotta take action to get what your hoping for.  so the lesson i learned is to always have hope, and take action so your imagination becomes into reality!

33 days til christmas (:

The countdown for christmas has now begunnn!!!  hi bloggers (; !  i love this time of the year and i cant wait for secret santa.  so lets get started.  This week my group had ID's.  Monday was just your typical day.  jobs in the morning, and then after school chez came over as usual.  nothing major you know, nothing majoor.  and now tuesday.  same thing, working ID's and during lunch people kept throwing stuff like coins and bottle caps.  well they always do but this time i got hit -.- well yeaaah.  then afterschool brian, mj, tyrel, alesia, and chez came over.  my neighbor reah was out and she plays soccer so we were playing with her soccer ball xDD  it was all fun...until alesia got the ball stuck in the tree.  then brian had to go on tyrels shoulders and get the ball out with a golf club xDDDD it was hella funny.  we were justplaying soccer and badminton and they left around 8:30.  then wednesday. nothing major really.  same thing, jobs then we went to mcdeees afterschool.  now thursday, group leaders had a meeting during homeroom.  i was surprised of what i heard, i didnt expect this certain person to be in this kind of situation.  so yeee.  and now friday, we were supposed to cruise but no one was down.  so afterschool chez came over and we didnt do much.  we couldve been cruising but naaaw, people isnt down for it.  saturday is such a drag because i stayed home all day and did homework and i am really bored and i wanna go out ugggh.

the highlight of my week would be tuesday because that was the funnest day of this week.  pretty chill day because it was hella fun and funny xDD  a good day with good people.  i just wish today and friday was like tuesday because i am really bored and i wanna do something.  i wish i was still in softball because i wouldve been at practice or a game and i really miss it so yaaaa.  but yeah my highlight is tuesday because it was really fun, me and alesia kept trying to juggle with the soccer ball.  and when we kicked it to chez all she did was pick it up with her hands then punt it xD  but the lowlight of my week would be thursday because i didnt expect to hear those things.  it really surprised me about what the situation was about.  i really did not expect that, and i just was shocked about it.

the lesson i learned is to do things ahead of time so i dont need to worry about it later.  like my algebrah homework.  it took me like 45 minutes to do it, and i did it on thursday and its due on monday....wuuuuut.  i did it so early so i dont stress about it...and i have a B in her class so i needa get that up.  also the new project for leadership with he 3 talents.  i was working on it today because i had nothing else to do also i didnt wanna worry about it later and stress over finishing it. im such a good girl xDD  i just wanted to prevent me from procrastinating and staying up finishing homework or projects.  i really want to get 4.0 GPA for this whole year so i gotta keep this straight A streak up.  it really isnt that hard, but last year i didnt really care about my grades after 1st quarter so i ended up get 3.6's for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter.  but this year i need a new phone so yaa xDD  so the lesson i learned is to d things ahead so i dont stress about it after.

Well that's some items id appreciate!  (: thank youuu !

that C tho

hihihi, soorry this is late.  but yeaah.  this week i was struggling to get AR done and to gt that C up since that teacher doesnt really input work constantly.  welll yeah.  this weeek my group had TV, lunch music, and after school sales.  me and lori went on TV on monday.  also i found out on monday i didnt fully make my AR for the week before because i only got 44.1% and i was pissed omggg.  theni was struggling to finish the book i had on monday and tuesday... and when i tried taking the test on wednesday I ALREADY READ IT omgg.  but also on tuesday i watched interstella, which is like 3 long hours.  so i got another book that morning and i managed to finish it by period 5.  so i took the test after school and i now have 68% yaaay!.  also lori went on TV that day.  also there was a big group of people following that ilima vs. ewa makai group and it was just hectic.  the police came, and i just ate in burger king xDDD since its none of my business.  so the next day, thursday, i had tutoring because i had a C. but during homeroom he said he didnt wanna see C's at tutoring so i got to work TV on friday yaaaaay.  so me and lori went on.  there was no lunch music for friday, but there was afterschool sales.  also on friday friends came over my house and stayed til like 9:30.  tyrel and brian were massaging our feet xDDD  is was a chill night as always.

the highlight of m weeek would be finishing my AR goal for this week.  i was struggling to get it done because i never ever struggled this much to finish AR.  and i was just so relieved and happy once i got it done the day it was due.  it just made me feel reaally good.  i gotta read ahead of time and make sure i reached my goal next time.  but the lowlight would but struggling to finish AR. meaning finishing a book i already read.  i was so mad like i read that for nothing!!!!  like wtfff.  i just wanted to slam the book on the ground and just break everything.  wasted my time on this dang book.  well that was my lowlight.

the lesson i learned is to read ahead of time.  also to be sure of something.  i didnt read ahead of time, and i thought i finished AR for the week before but i didnt by 0.3% ! like what is this omg.  sofor the next quarters and weeks ill be positive of what im reading and how much percent i have !  so i dont end up in the same position i was in on wednesday.  lucky thing i finished that book by the end of the day, so i had one less thing to worry about.  i just need to be more focused for these next quarters.  i tell my group to finished AR and to constantly read when i barely do it myself.  so i definitely have to change that or these next quarters might get ugly.  i just gotta be ahead of the game and always be positive of things.

ISA already ?!

hihihi.  well this blog got fricken erased so now i gotta restart like OMGGGGG.  im so pissed rn.  so lets start already so i dont show my negativity.  soo lets start off already.  this week my periods job was music.   monday was alright.  i did jobs for ISA again, but then later that day i was told to revise it.  so afterschool chez came to my house.  we were supposed to do homework but instead we got off track and started throwing softball around.  tuesday didnt have school.  so i revised the jobs for ISA an then cruised with chez mj and cj.  we went to the park but that mj and cj ditched us.  there were these weird boys who were trying to impress us by doing backflips off the greenbox then after asked us for our numbers.  ike bisssshhh no.  they drove off in a white van too!  now moving on to wednesday.  jobs and i had to revise jobs again!  i cant believe we couldnt just stick with our original job plans.  but it is what it is.  so i revised the jobs.  also afterschool chez came my house and we ot off track with homework and went to the park.  now thursday.  naya wwas so happy that she got out of the problem.  she was texting me about it.  i had to revise the jobs again and add and take out some people.  also chez came over and we went to the park again.  now comes friday, ISA.  mr.ing picked me up and the seats were down  i thought he sid to sit on it, so i was gonna sit on the chair xDD but he sad to put it up.  i felt dumb LOL.  but ISA went smooth and there were no concerns.  i cant believe i was the host of it, it went really well.

the highlight of my would would be ISA.  theres that selfie of me after ISA when i got home.  i was really impressed on how it went because it went really smooth.  i liked it, i was impressed.  nothing major you know, nothing major.  ISA was good, and it was good getting out and missing class xDD  but i was really shocked on how it turned out.  i loved doing the air horn job xDD  the first time i did it my heart was beating so fast xD  but ISA was good, pretty good day lowlight could be tuesday because of those guys at the park.  i wonder why no cute guys ever ask for my number.  ugh, aways gotta be the ugly ones.  like ew get away from me.

the lesson i learned is to always have faith in someone.  i had faith in naya, that she would get out of the problem soon.  she got out of it pretty fast, and i was really impressed and happy to hear she was out of it  i didnt want her to go through what i did.  its not a good feeling, and im happy shes out of it.  not atleast i know she learned something and how it felt to be in that kind of situation.  i had faith in her and i always have and always will.  you just gotta have some faith in people,  it might take a while but you just gotta have patiience.  i still have faith in the others as well.  i just hope the flow of the class goes back to the way it used to be like.  i just hope everything goes back to normal and everything gets better real soon.  i really dont like seeing people struggling to get out of that situation because it reminds me a lot of last year.

Halloween vibe

hihihi guys.  this week started good, but ended not so well.  well starting from monday.  monday the 3 boys were in.  Siofu is in my group,and i think hes aiight.  this weeks job was IDs.   during period 3 joylyn had to teach siofu how to make an intro and she got so mad xD  so nothing major really happened on monday.  solets move on to tuesday.  tuesday morning we had a group leader meeting about period 1 and the new boys.  i think the flow of the class this year might not go so well through out the year.  im actually kind of worried.  wendesday was just a short day.  again, nothing major nothing major.  but i did make joylyn and siofu work next to eachother and joylyn got mad again xD thursday i finished my AR goal for this week and next week.  so clap for me guys, because i really hate AR.  friday was halloween.  my day was actually starting off pretty good.  i liked seeing everyone in their costumes and some of them just made my day xD  the day was going so well, until i got a call during period 6.  i was pretty curious at first.  but when afterschool came, it literally broke m heart to hear what happened and who was involved.  i did not expect that to happen, and i did not expect that to come out of those certain people.  but halloween night was actually pretty fun.  with all my friends cruising it was a chill night with good vibes spreading all around.

the highlight of my week would be when i put joylyn and siofu together on monday and wednesday xD  on monday i made joylyn and siofu work together.  joylyn had to teach siofu how to make an intro.  then we started talking about watermelons xD  joylyn said she hates watermelons, i wonder why xDD  she kept complaining because i put her with siofu again.  they were both reading with eachother on the same table sitting by each other xD  she kept making that face at me because was she was mad but i kpet laughing (x ily joy!  also another highlight would just be halloween in general.  but the lowlight of my week would be hearing about what happened on friday.  it literally got to me when i heard what happened.  i do not want people to be in the position i was in before.  this was a similar problem i was in last year, and it literally really got to me when i heard about it.  it wasnt my ideal way of ending school on halloween.  ending school with a problem, i just cant believe that happened.

lesson learned this week is to use my experiences to help others.  if you guys dont know, last year i was in a problem.  and right now, some people are in the same situation i was in last year.  it is not a good position and it is not a good feeling at all.  i felt so useless and mad at myself for what i did last year.  it kinda hurts knowing that something like it is happening all over again to different people.  i learned a lot from it, and now they will too.  i have to use my experiences to help them get out of the problem.  im giving them advice and what they should and should not do.  its sad seeing them being put in that position.  it just eats you up and you get so fustrated and its all you think about.  you just cant get it out of your mind.  thats how i felt, and its not a good feelings. i hated it and i dont want them to feel how i did either.  i went through it, and now i gotta help them get out of the hole they dig themselves into.  i just hope it doesnt go too far down and deep..

 Pray to jesus, not for the booty!

Retreat 2014

This ywars retreat was waaay better then last years to be honest.  But the retreat is basically a d 3 day 2 night field trip to a beach house.  We get out phones taken away.  We plan for the rest of the year and plan jobs for every quarter.  Also we get to bond more with our groups.  We also did a leadership chopped competition.  Along with a talent show.  It was really fun and funny.  The point of thjs field trip was to plan ahead for the rest of the year and bond morr with out groups and other periods.  I think this retrear was pretty good and was a success.  The talent show and chopped was pretty good. Like I said, I think this year was better then last years retreat. I think mr.ing has this so we have time to plan ahead for the rest of the year.  Just to be ready.

A highlight from the retreat would be talent show my favorite part was deriecka and jayde.  "I do the hula...with no music" and "I like sparkles....on my boots." I was dying and about to cry! it was so funny!  Another highlight would be playing volleyball with jayde, jah, julia, hope, and naya.  It was fun and funny.  Yet the struggle when we hit the ball in the water and jayde and jah had to go follow it to the stairs to go and grab it it was sad yet funny.  I hit it in the water once.  Another highlight would be the games we played, like yours , your partners and boom chicka boom.  It was fun and funny at the same time   we made so much memories at the retreat.  But a low light would be doing out chopped.  Our period was making chocolate covered bananas with sprinkles.  But we didnt really have the right chocolate,  so half was dark and the other half was milk.  Some didnt look too pleasing either so that was kind of shame for us.  Since the chocolate was drying up and it didnt look so creamy after 10 minutes.  Another lowlight would be swimming.  Me and jah wanted to go diving but the ocean floor was so ugly.  There was nothing to really look at.  I was actually looking forward to going but there was nothing to look at. So that was a real kill joy.  Once I looked at the ocean floor in the shallow water I didn't even want to go out.  Its not the best beach to go swim and dive at.  I hurt my toe there );   I dont think there should be any changes to the retreat though.  The way I look at it, it's a good way to get away from technology.  I really liked this hears retreat.  The talent show was fun, and we all got somewhat closer to eachother.  I thinm the 3 of us in period 3 got closer.  It was a lot more fun then last year, so I really did like this retreat a lot.

Something I learned about my group is that once we get somewhat closer theyll talk way more.  Theyll get more comfortable around me and theyll be less quiet and shy.  Comparing them from the beginning of the year to now would be a BIG difference.  I learned that they could be louder its just you gotta make the effort to get closer to them.  Something I learned about my chaperones is
That they listen to similar music as me I guess ���� when they were playing music while my period was doing our chopped I was turning up to the music they were playing because I loved all the songs they were playing.  So I learned what we have in common.  So I think we listen to similar music.  Like frank ocean and drake.  Now something I learned about mr.ing...I learned that he thinks our music is garbage.  Naw naw just kidding.  But I learned that he is like no other teacher at ilima.  No other teacher would take us on field trips liek this.   No other teacher would could a majority of the day and let us swim at a field trip when we're not supposed to.  No other teacher gives us the privileges mr.ing does.  We should be lucky to be going on these types of things.  I learned mr.ing isnt who I thought he would be when I first started in 7th grade.   I thought he would be a regular teacher, but I was wrong.  He is way different the other teachers at ilima.  He treats us differently, and helpd us become more independent. Everything we do in leadership is so different from other classes and student council in elementary.  So thats what I learned from this retreat.  Leadershil retreat 2014.

about a week ago (;

Started school about a week ago 😂 well heey guys.  This week was aiight.  My period had music as a job.  And for the first time there wasnt a group of polys outsode the door complaining about the music we were playing.  Also we made our talent and planned out chopped for retreat this week.  Well monday we didn't get to work music because we posted playlist late.,  but afterschool i to burger king as always.  Tuesday was the same.  But I also did a meet up to trade for my btq on ig.  Then wednesday, I had to wait til 4 for my mom to pick me up.  Ugh I was so mad bc I wanted to go home already.  then Thursday came.  i finished my weekly AR goal.  also afterschool we went to burger king then after walked around trails and went to leeward park to get picked up.  nothing major nothing major.  now Friday.  Friday was aiight until someone ruined it for me.  afterschool i was cruising with the main girls and brian.  hes like my bestfriend now.  but some got the wrong message about me and brian which got me pissed.  during the day we practiced our talent and i literally had to hokd taylor down and get her to repeat the words (x and i made joylyn carry me xDDD ilyyy guys.  Friday was aiight, until the end of the day.  not a good way to end my night.

my highlight of the week was Friday before someone ruined it.  I was having positive vibes practicing the talent because it was pretty fun and funny.  after that we just started to be ballerinas and started twirling and doing the jumping thing they do xD  then afterschool cruise was fun and funny.  we did plenty things and brian treated me burger king yeeeeet.  he bought me a burger and drink.  bish if you want a burger, eat a burger dafuq.  but a lowlight would be AR because i hate AR  i was stressing over finishing my book and i hate reading omg.  i hate reading and i hate AR.  reading a 200 page book to take a 10 question test.  like wooooow, i was just stressed over finishing my book.  i read "into the land of unicorns" and it was surprisingly somewhat interesting to me.  but either way i still hate reading and AR.  so the lowlight of my week would be stressing to finish my AR book, and then theres the other 8 weeks left ugh omg.  im about to cut the person who made AR because i hate reading SO DANG MUCH.

the lesson i learned would be not to do things last minute.  this really relates to me this week because i posted the playlist late and my period couldn't work music in the morning on Monday.  i posted playlist late and waited til the last minute to post it.  i should've planned ahead of time so that my period would be able to work. doing things late means you aren't planning ahead of time which is pretty much bad.  so i also learned to plan ahead of time.  i should've done things way earlier then it was supposed to be done.  if i did things earlier my group would've been able to work on Monday.  but also i learned that i cant do everything.  i have to make my group do work too, or else they wont learn anything.  because mr.ing said that the wrong people were posting playlist.  so for lunch music i told naya and taylor to post it, and shined the light of responsibility on them.

ice ice baby-zumbaaa

yoyo, well this assignment blog is on the zumba routine.  basically someone was assigned o be the leader for zumba.  they were responsible for teaching and making the routine for zumba that we would perform for the school.  the period with the most people following along gets the better grade.  the point of this assignment was to help our groups collaborate better.  between period 3 i think we got somewhat closer to eachother.

the highlight of this assignment would honestly be practicing our routine.  we all kept laughing at joylyn because she kept going the opposite way the rest of us were going xD  then mr.ing kept saying"ewa beach el!"  i felt somewhat bad for joylyn but it was still funny (x  i loved practicing the routine because we would always have fun doing it.  we just got a stronger bond the more we practiced and the more we laughed with each other.  we took pictures together after we practiced, which is basically the pictures below.  and in during the breaks we took we would play with the photo booth effects! aha, we just got along better.  but a low light would be performing it.  i thought more people would do it but as a result only 9 people followed along.  the others i asked got scared and was too shy to do it.  i know it was a pretty lame song but yenno nothing to be ashamed of.  but thats what i would change.  i wouldve chosen a different song.  mostly because ice ice baby was not an easy song to make a routine to.  since the only thing it repeated what "ice ice baby" and it isnt a normal song.  it isnt to repetitive.  but i wouldve chosen a different song.

GLO#1-I was able to learn the routine smoothly with no help.  I directed myself.
GLO#2-I was able to help those who struggled to do the routine.
GLO#3-I was able to help come up with some parts of the routine.
GLO#4-I think our routine was pretty good and came out to a quality product.
GLO#5-I was able to help taylor with giving directions.  We had to communicate in order to perfect her speaking.
GLO#6-We were able to use the laptop for music and microphone with no malfunctions.

now moving on to grades.  i think the grades were given out fairly.  since we got what we deserve.  it was our responsibility to get the word out about our routine.  and since apparently i have no friends, not much people participated to i guess i got the grade i deserve.  i should have gotten people who i knew would for sure do it and not rely on people who are very hesitant and who like to watch.  its hard finding people willing to do the routine because most people are shy or just think its lame to do it.  so we had to be the ones to find people who are willing to do it.  it was hard finding people, but atleast 9 people showed up.  better then no one!  but still we got what we worked on.  most people just didnt do it because they thought the song was gay or lame.  but i think it all comes down to just being shy to do the routine.  but it was my fault for trying to get people who didnt want to do it, i should have been finding people really willing to participate.  so i think grades were given out fair.

lastly is our routine.  first we're going to clap step for 4 counts of 8 right when the song starts, starting to the right.  then we're going to kick step for 2 counts of 8.  after, we do a stop hand motion then right after we move into jump pumps starting to the right for 3 counts of 8.  then we're going to move onto jumping jacks right after jump pumps for 1 count of 8.  after we're gong to do the snake arm motion for 2 counts of 8 and right after we're going to do knee ups for 2 counts of 8.  then we move onto the joylyn for 4 counts of 8.  this will go along with the "ice ice baby" part of the song.  after that end, we will repeat jump pumps for 2 counts of 8.  then after we will repeat the kick step for another 2 counts of 8.  then we will move onto the rolling hand motion for 4 counts of 8.  then after we go onto jump pumps again for 2 counts of 8 then after we go onto to jumping jacks for another 2 counts of 8.  then we do snake arm motion for another 2 counts of 8.  then we go back to the joylyn for 4 counts of 8.  after we go into kick step for 2 counts of 8.  then we go into jumping jacks for 2 counts of 8 and then go into snake arm motion for another 2 counts of 8.  after we go to knee ups for 2 counts of 8 then it goes back to the joylyn for 4 counts of 8.  then to end it we strut walk to all the way til the end of the song.

wass good fall break ?

yoyoyoyo.  guys as you can see im bored.  well lets start off the week.  monday was your typical day.  this week my group had ID's.  so just jobs and school.  tuesday was the same thing.  jobs, school, then all done.  pretty boring.  wednesday we did zumba and my group only got 9 people )x lmao.  but people in my group were complaining to me other people were saying not to do our routine, but i dont know because they dont really have proof.  so yeah.  wednesday was alright.  thursday i stayed afterschool with jah so she could finish AR.  we stayed til about 3.  in the picture with the arizona and Mr.Ing in that back round xD I was bored but i didnt wanna ditch her so i stayed (x she was so stressed out i could tell xDDDD  she was stressing over her percentage correct.  but atleast she eventually got there !  i think..... but then here comes friday.  friday period 5 did their zumba routine.  i wasnt really participating. i was just standing there.  but friday we realized all our mistakes and the problems we were having.  like doing things last minute and cash box problems.  we almost lost our priveledges.  but luckily things were fixed...i hope we dont walk into the same situation next quarter because it would make everything 100000x harder.

the highlight of my week would be friday. i think its a good thing Mr.Ing talked to us about all the things that were happening.  and i think it was a good thing we had that group leader meeting.  he gave us the opportunity to fix the problems we were having.  i dont like the feeling of being in a problem.  its a way of learning, but its not a good feeling.  its like youre stuck in a deep hole.  its hard finding a way to get out of it.  so were lucky to be given that opportunity to work things out.  a lowlight would be staying after school (x i really wanted to go burger king and get a coupon book but i didnt want to leave jah xD  if youre reading this jah just know i love you (: (x aha, but i really wanted to go but i stayed and waited.  i ended up not getting a coupon book, but i got one on friday !  so theres a time for everything lol.

i learned a lot.  but the one thing that really got to me thing week was communication.  even if you and another person arent on good terms, you still need to be able to work and communicate with them.  you cant let your feelings ruin your work for the whole school.  so that basically relates to me because im not on very good terms with someone but i still need to be able to work with them.  i cant let my feelings get in the way of work.  thats one of my major problems with myself.  because i let my feelings get in the way of things.  i really need to change that.  so thats the main lesson i learned.  this really got to me because it really relates to me most.  i really need to be able to work with people i might not be on good terms with.  i just need to be able to collaborate with others even though i may not like that person.

(me waiting)

( i like this selfie okokok)

1 down 3 to go !

Heyheyheyheyhey (: aha but i hope your first quarter was splendid.  im just going to run throught the main events that happened from the start and the end of 1st quarter.  First was 7th grade elections.  I think everyone did good.  although the results werent exactly what i was hoping for, i still think 7th grader office is going to do good.  next is yearbook picture taking.  omg i went to the beach the weekend before picture taking and on the day i took pictures I WAS PEELING OMG.  ugh, i hope it turned out good xD and i was sweating -.- ughhhh.  and now we have open house.  well before open house was the leadership reunion.  i found that pretty fun and funny.  some people got emotional and i cant believe they cried, aha it was pretty cute.  but we ended up not having to do anything at open house so we just played hide and seek around campus (x.  next is the lockdown.  idk i just got scared when they knocked on the door because i sit right next to the door.  i ended up hitting my head on the table.  lmao.  and now comes welcome social.  i have to admit this year was more fun then last year.  welcome social isnt very fun, but it was somewhat entertaining this year.  it was a pretty big job.  i worked the second shift for the water slide.  and now this brings us to mid quarter progress report and AR.  i wasnt really struggling with much.  AR was easy for me somewhat, and my grades are really good this quarter.  so far i have a 4.0 GPA.  im doing good in academics and i did good this quarter.  it wasn't even that hard to begin with, so it was just a breeze to me.  now this brings us to zumba and the evacuation.  the evacuation was hot and tiring !  but i liked painting the signs for it (x  aha, and now we have zumba.  zumba was something to help us work together better,  and it actually did.  i think my group got somewhat closer.  they were so quiet during summer, now they actually talk to me (x aha.  even though zumba didn't turn out very well, we atleast tried xD it was so shame tho but it was fun doing it with period 3 (:

my highlight of the quarter is zumba.  i actually had fun making the routine.  and mr.ing kept laughing at joylyn and deriecka (x ewa beach el. represent!  hahaha.  but i liked doing period 1's routine because it was really catchy.  i regret choosing ice ice baby !  i shouldve chose beyonce because ice ice baby was so shame !  all my friends saw me doing it and i felt shame but yet had somewhat fun.  i kept laughing through the routine and i kept messing up.  we only got 9 people.  everyone else is a WUSSY.  too scared, we is unboiz! XD  but naw zumba was pretty good.  but a lowlight of the quarter would be AR because i hate reading and i suck at reading.  it was the struggle to just get all my bars up!  i hate AR and i hate reading.  i prefer math over reading so yaaaaa.  but evern though i passed its still a lowlight because i obviously dont like reading.  AR is pretty easy, all you need to do is read ahead of time or just start reading right when the quarter starts so youre one step ahead of everything.  one less thing to worry about.  instead of procrastinating, you just have to push yourself to do it.

the lesson i learned is to put yourself out there.  if your left out, just put yourself out there !  also, if you show your inner self others will too.  like how i did with my group.  i had to out myself out there and show them it's okay to be loud.  i just wanted them to stop being shy and to communicate with each other since i think my group is the most shy group of the 3 periods.  theyre the msot quiet and shyest people in leadership.  especially lori.  i think lori made a huge difference because she would never talk before.  but now she actually trusts me and communicates (x aha, its cute to see how different people were from before to now.  all you gotta do is put yourself out there.  go out and talk to others, then they might get influenced and do the same thing.  dont be shy, just go out and talk.  it was hard to get my group to be more comfortable around each other but i finally did it.  just dont be shy and be more outgoing.  i have a better relationship with everyone in leadership now.

Heres a recap of 1st quarter in leadership (:

(Turn off/pause music to the right)

eyebrows dafuq

wellll hello there.  monday was basic.  like freal nothing interesting happened.  but this week my group has tv, lunch music, and afterschool sales.  on monday i out lori and jenaya on tv.  tuesday, i made a mistake with putting someone on tv who was on probation.  i had no idea until we came back and mr.ing let me know.  so i apologize for that.  oh and afterschool I DID MY EYRBROWS.  i looked totally different and idk i look more mean and sassy now.  omggggg i feel shame with it.im just not used to it very well yet.wednesday i was on TV and when it came to recess and lunch...it turns out everyone noticed.  i felt so shame omg.  i was so annoyed i got all those comments and reactions for the rest of the week.  thursday same thing.  jobs and more people telling me how different i look.  apparently i look more sassy and like a mean girl.  friday period 1 did their zumba routine.  i really like theirs because its catchy and i think its fun to do (x  i thin it would be on the wii or kinect.  but i was also on TV on friday too.  saturday i went to the dentist.  then i stayed home for a while then i went out riding with friends.  we all met up at the park then went riding fixed gear around ewa.  i wasnt really scared of the white van because i could jusr ride away.  it was pretty fun.  then we stayed at alesias house til 8.  we had a lot of laughs xD

the highlight of my week would be saturday.  not really in the morning because i had to go to the dentist, and i found out i had a cavity.  i have to go back again next week ugh -.- but riding was pretty fun.  alesia fell off and searra took long to get on xD  it was funny if you were there soo yeah (x it was just a chill day, last minute plans.  they just showed up at my house at my front door asking if i could come out and hang.  so thats basically it.  but a lowlight would be my eyebrows.  i regret doing it tbh because i look so different and idk.  too much comments on it like just stfu i know i look different.

the lesson i learned is not to listen to other people because it only brings you down.  this is all about my eyebrows because so much people kept talking about it like just stfu.  it was getting to the point where i wanted to cry because i couldnt get away from all of them.  everywhere around me people had to say something.  i was so tired of it.  i was so annoyed and irritated to the point where i wanted to slap everyone across the face and shave their eyebrows off.  now stfu and get over it.  we all know i look different!  i learned not to let them bring me down because me just responding to them is just what they want.  they want my attention.
