*God willing

Summer :P

I don't really like summer, everything about it is... there's no word for it, but I just don't like it. I guess the only thing I like about it, is no school, but even with that, I can't see my awesome friends.

Things I don't like about summer:

1. Hot, whether humid or dry
2. Must wear short/ light things to avoid being suffocated in the bright sun
3. Seeing the sun the whole day, making my vision cut by the brim of my Jamaica cap
4. Not seeing friends
5. Water parks/ hotels are always crowded
6. No friends
7. No sleepovers
8. No summer memories with classmate friends  (Though I'm going to see great friends soon)

Things I like about summer:

1. Being able to eat ice-cream without getting a lecture from someone saying it's too cold
2. Having an excuse for swimming daily
3. Seeing friends overseas
4. No homework!!!  :)

I'm a winter person, so two more lists to go!


Things I love about winter:

1. Being able to bundle myself in layers of clothing and not be self conscience
2. Feeling all cozy when reading a book
3. Snow!!!
4. Hot Chocolate!!!  <3
5. Christmas!!! 
6. Singing in the rain/ snow!
7. Bigger chances of delay of school buses if snow or ice is blocking roads

Things I don't really like about winter:

1. No ice-cream!  :'(
2. Inside pools
3. Being sick

I love winter, mostly, because I love hearing rain. It feels so calming to me and if I see snow I get all excited, but when I'm bored I can feel cozy in my bed reading a book to sleep with a mug of hot chocolate. It's my kind of season...  :)

My Day ZONA MIND

Normal day :

1. Wake up
2. Feed dog
3. Feed myself
4. Change into summer :P clothes
5. Read
6. Computer for about 15 minutes
7. Play with dog
8. Paint

This continues as a cycle for my regular summer day. But today was different. I talked to my BFF, who's so far from me, it's unbearable. We talked, laughed, stuck our tongues out and acted even more random. I can't stop smiling from the clear memory of today. Nope, smile is still there!

An Attempt at Murder

My cat tried to kill something!!! It's shocking to see my innocent cat trying to kill a bird! A bird! It usually pounces on half dead insects, but this was an alive bird!

 It was Saturday and I went outside to play with Ginger, my moody cat. It was behind its bed outside but stood with a curved back. I approached it but saw a bird still breathing and at her feet. As I came closer, Ginger put the bird in her mouth trying to escape. Reflexes took over, and before I knew it, I had a broom in my hand. I started to pat her head, as annoyance to try to get her to drop her catch. It didn't work so smoothly, but at one point she did let go, and as soon as that happened I cornered Ginger with the broom I looked at the unharmed bird.

It was brought inside to a box with buckwheat and pieces of bread with a little saucer of water. After about half an hour of the bird in the box it started hopping around so I tried putting it outside for it to spread its wings, but it was too late, since the bird tried flying around in the kitchen, but failed and landed behind the fridge. The fridge was moved and my mom brought it outside. By the time I came out, the bird already flew away.

When I looked down Ginger was glaring at me. I'm not exaggerating when I say 'It looked like it was going to devour me'.   Ginger has been avoiding me lately, but it all right cuz she might be getting into mischief.

Eclipse/ My Pets

Been a while since I blogged. My apologies. This is the post that will cover all the things I've been meaning to post.


   We had a lunar eclipse!!!!!!! It was AMAZING!!!!! No, BREATH-TAKING!!!!! I was with friends, outside, with an open fire, having of course S'mores. We were outside for about half an hour and then we roamed around in the darkness with horrendous images in our heads when we would turn a corner. When we realized that the moon didn't have its full roundness we knew the eclipse started. (Hannah told us that a fifth grade friend informed her on the moon's plan tonight.) We were on mats, listening to the crackle of the fire and at times we would raise our poking-fire sticks in unison while watching the moon. It was a fun night.

It was that night when I knew I was an outside person. When everyone would sit down, I'd be the one spinning/ running around being slap-happy.



I have 3 pets! A land tortoise, for those who get confused, a stray kitten/ cat I adopted when it was a wee little ball of orange and white fur, and my dog that I adopted about 3 weeks ago.  
My tortoise, Checkers, was the cutest thing in the world for me when I got it in 3rd grade. A desert tortoise was the closest thing to a dog for me so I would scratch its chin and pet its head, and sometimes let it do its favorite thing, watch TV. Remind you of someone? I would put it in front of the TV and he would stick his head out and watch only Hannah Montana. My cat, Ginger, is an orange and white alley cat that I took in, when it was bullied by an older stray cat in our garden. Of course, I fed it and played with it, and soon after long weeks of chasing the older cat away, Ginger was at peace and my mom and sister accepted it into the family afterwards. I got Igloo from the Humane Center. It's a white, Glen of Imaal Terrier. When it first came into the house, it would start whining if I left it's sight. It's better now. It can fetch, if in the mood, and sit, if it sees a treat. It's a sweet dog, and it's about 1 and a half years old so it's still adorable!

Checkers, showing the world what he's made of.

Ginger, acting innocent so she can jump on me without suspicion.

Igloo, in my room acting cute to get a treat.



Until next time,

Fartz ZONA MIND

Hi everyone, I thought of this, umm, natural subject from Nigahiga! Yaay, round of applause please... so back to this, why do people think of this as gross? We all fart when we sleep which shows we can't/ shouldn't control it, so why be embarrassed? The only exception is

You're walking down a school hallway in your favorite outfit, having a positive muju around your day. It gets better when your crush is talking to you, asking questions about you, making you feel happy, basically. He's cracking jokes now, with his amazing smile, and you need to cut cheese. You're desperate, the hallway is pretty empty so blaming it on someone else isn't optional. You look for your classroom which is at the end of the hall, so you can't make a run for it. You're backed up, you have to let it out. Pffttt, a soft one, but loud enough to hear. You look at him. Silence strucks.....  It's too quiet..... Your face feels red...... Time feels paused. He looks at you, then sees his friends, looks again at you and starts to laugh with his friends and imitate your gust of wind. You go to class looking forward to replace that jerk with another cutie.

That's when you can be embarrassed...

Education! :3 ZONA MIND

Ok, I have mixed feelings about education. I sometimes love school, and sometimes I wish it were bubble wrap so I could pop all of its flaws.
Flaws like:

• Creepy substitutes
• Boring lessons
• The annoying class clown
• The plain weird class clown
• The wanna-be class clown
• The groups/ cliques
• The drama between BFF's
• The uniforms (if you have 'em)
• The outfits/ fashion statements (if you're unlucky to not have uniforms)
• The early rising for school

If I was writing this on a weekend I would probably come up with more devastating turnouts, but that's all for now.

I guess school is okay, but after-school activities are fun. Well, if you pick what hobbies you love, education will be fun! I don't know about you, but I do lots of activities and I hope I can get into the boarding school of my dreams. Ahhh, I want that scholarship!!!  >:)  Anyway, I hope people enjoy their education, and grip onto it, and just learn for yourself and not anyone else.

That's all for the Zona Mind.

Hello!!! :-) ZONA MIND intro

Hello everyone!!!! I have an update on what's going on, in the Zona Mind.

I'll be starting to write more frequently and have the title include "Zona Mind", and it'll be, obviously, what's on my mind. When I post something I feel like people will expect a more deep post, to have emotion being sucked out of this black and white print. These types of posts will be quite random, but fun to read, and not really long. I will try to make this blog more fun to follow, so I'll start with this.

:) Enjoy! :)
