My Holiday

my holiday was okay.. i didn't really do a lot. i worked ALOT !! i did my 40 hours the two weeks we were off (: the reason was cause three people quit. ( i work at wendy's by the way). i hung out with friends too, the days i was off other than that we didn't really do a lot. i had fun either way, i didn't really get a lot of gift as I've gotten in the past. i guess its because i work now and i can get my own stuff. but I didn't complain. i got some clothes, a new straightener, a hat, and more clothes for christmas.

2012 in Review

1. The best song of 2012 for me would be scream. i liked that song throughout the whole year because it was catchy and i never got tiered of it the way i always do with other songs. it makes sense to me and i really like listening to usher (;

2. The best movie of 2012 was 21 Jump Street. i really liked that movie. i saw it with my friends and had a good time, i guess it brings back memories. i enjoy watching that movie, it was entertaining and funny and i can relate to it.

3. the most interesting news about 2012 was the shooting of the 20 little kids. it was a horrifying event. sad at the same time. so i thought that was an interesting news event.

4. Barack Obama was the most important person in 2012 because he got reelected and was president for the second time. He really is doing thing he promised 4 years ago, he's actually making a change.

Favorite Photos of 2012

I liked this photograph because the picture just looks really pretty and you never see photos of eclipses and specially not one outer space.

I just thought it was really cool how people looked, they looked like ants. lol

I liked how the photographer captured the wave and the surfer, i also thought the rainbow looked really pretty and the whole photograph was "perfect".
