A Transparent Snowfall

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. Haven’t had anything to weird that I’ve been wanting to write about. But since Legend of Korra came out, my mind has been thinking a lot about the grand series that made number one in my list of favorite American made cartoons. This isn’t a review of the show or anything. I’m not a good writer of that sort of thing. What I wanted to write about was what I thought to be the kind of bending I wish I could have if I lived in Avatar universe. So, Air Bending, Water Bending, Earth Bending, or Fire Bending? Surprisingly, it’s not Fire bending despite how much I’d love to shoot lightning from my fingertips. I think the kind of bending with the most benefits is water bending. Think about it, water bending is the most well rounded style of bending there is. It can be used offensively through sending towers of water at people or even piercing through them with sharp icicles. Freezing the area of water around a person is useful in keeping them still. Theworld is made up of mostly water, so traveling isn’t difficult either. Water benders can be trained healers, something none of the other styles could replicate. Water can also be obtained almost as easily as air, considering the air is also made up of components in water. Plants also have water that can be manipulated. The scariest part of the power (during a full moon) would be blood bending which is a dark but very helpful tactic to use in battle. At the peak of power for a water bender. Granted, unless a water bender has water on hand, they wouldn’t last long in a desert. However, I think all of the other aspects easily makes up for it. So, I’m done going on and on about water bending. What style of bending would you have liked to have in the Avatar Universe and why? ;)

Despite Katara being pretty naggy, you must admit, she does kick butt. ;)

Thinking back from Freshman year of high school, I’ve changed and not changed at the same time. I’ve changed a lot by being more willing to show a more playful side to people that I’m not really sure I had before (ex. Jessica told me I got meaner. Thought I was just playfully teasing her though XD). I don’t regret changing at all. I was able to have more fun than I had all my life thanks to the friends I had in my junior and senior years.

For those of you who’ve known me even before senior year, I was a person who could hardly go out. If I did, it was without parents knowing and I had to be home before they got home (I was a rebel XD). I really did not know how to react to people thanks to my lack of social interaction (because really, how much can you get in a school day?).

Well, I know that I’ve changed a lot and that I hang out with certain people more than others, but despite all that, bonds don’t break so easily like that.

I’ve learned that despite how long it’s been since I’ve seen a friend and no matter what changes may have occurred between the two (or more) of us, there’s still the fun feeling we had that gravitated us towards being friends. I know I’ve prioritized media in my life from senior year on. I hardly got to see my friends whom I would sit with everyday at lunch time (Jessica, Anne, Phuong, Christina, Shannon, Kat, Aida, Chelsea… please correct me if I’m forgetting someone Jessica… XD), but seeing Jessica and Kat again after so long made me think that despite the great length of time it’s been since I’ve seen them, they’re still really great friends of mine. ^_^ Besides, I missed the BJK ninjas. XD (We’re missing -A! D:) 

Sad to say, I can’t find a picture with all of us together in it. I remember all the crazy times we had though and still cherish all the memories we’ve made together. Must say, we all need to hang out again sometime.

ibelieveitssomewhere asked: Hey! Hey! Can I just say how adorable it is that you and Alberto are dating? It's super adorable. I'm happy for you two. Yay! :D

Aww, thank you very much! =) It’s been one month now, and I don’t think I remember a time I’ve been happier. ^_^

tumblrbot asked: WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

I have a series on YouTube that I make. It’s a Pokemon series about an assassin. I like to think of ideas on that story…:3 Pretty much, it’s when I let all my dark thoughts roam free (which I normally don’t like doing). Otherwise, I just sing out loud a lot. XD

Don’t get me wrong. I love my mom and dad. We’ve had our ups and…a lot of downs… but other than that, I don’t have a grudge on them like my brother does. It’s understandable why he does too. I’m still dependent on my parents despite living away from them now, but I often wonder why they try to control me so much even after all the work I’ve put through living my first 18 and a half years with them.

The grades, the lack of a social life for over 17 years, the constant taking of everyone in the house (yes, my little sister included) telling me to do a million things at one time, yeah, I got through all that and now, I think it should be safe to say I earn a break from the constant high expectations. I’ve followed the rules, now let me go.

Despite the fact that I’ve left the nest, I don’t think I’m ever going to be let off the hook. The expectations are still very high (my mom wants me to get a Master’s Degree… um… how about no?), and the rules have extended more.

Dating, I’ve heard that most people started as early as elementary school. While I do believe that is still way too early, I followed the rules and didn’t (really) start dating until after high school. The rule was “when I started college”, no? Get past the dramas of high school and into the adult world before I tried anything of the sort. I even waited a semester of college before deciding to go out (not saying that there wasn’t maybe a bit of teasing and/or flirting but yeah).

So sure, it was stupid of me to have family members added on my Facebook that WOULD end up telling my mom about my relationship. Does that mean I can’t trust anyone in my family? What really gets me is that my mom had the nerve to change the rules on me. I even asked her BEFORE I started dating several times that is the rule “when I start college”? She has said, “Yes, not until college”. So, what does she do? She tells me on one of my visits home, after knowing that I have a boyfriend, “No dating till you graduate”. Grrr…gahhh!!!!!!

I know I’ve said many times that I wished I didn’t move, but at the same time, I can’t stand to live with my family. Besides all the yelling in that house, I can’t stand it when people decide to change their minds about things that they have chosen to stay in a certain way. I hate most of all that because of an event that happened last school year, she has a set opinion on my boyfriend. She’s never even met him! She’s talked (lectured) his mom, and that’s it! GAHHHH!!!!!!!!

I’m sick of this! I can’t even tell my dad about this since he’s pretty much the same way. (He actually said no boyfriend till I have a stable career…) It’s just so frustrating. And my mom is completely racist! I mean, sure everyone is a little bit racist, but really, the FIRST thing she told me when she found out I had a boyfriend was, “Is he Mexican? Is it that Alberto guy?” (Funny thing, the only friends’ names she can remember are Shelbie (because she visited my house so often) and Alberto (because of that incident…)). And then, she had the nerve to say, “Why couldn’t you date an Asian guy?” What day and age do we live in?! I have a cousin who’s half black and the ENTIRE family loves her! Why can’t we all just be able to get along with others and not be so stuck on the values of a single race?

For any of you who read this, sorry. I’ve just been really angry at my mom about this and needed somewhere to vent it all out. I mean, shouldn’t everyone be given a chance? Forgive and forget, right? Alberto’s family has already accepted me and been very kind to me… why can’t my family be the same way to Alberto? Gah… this is just so frustrating. Makes me want to punch a baby Zebra in the face (sorry, stealing that line from you, Krista). I’m just done. Tired of how single-minded my mother is. My father I can’t even tell him anything just because of how overprotective he is. Right now, I just really don’t know what to do…
