Four letter words story



The cat. That wild cat that was once mine. The damn car that hit her. He won't care. All I can do now is bury my cat. I miss her. He won't say sorry or even buy me a new cat. But a new cat is not the same. Not the same meow or even the same blue eyes. My cat, Beth, she was one of a kind. Her meow was like music. Her purr like a song of dark. The big blue eyes that stare at me as if I was a work of art and she was the artist.

I wrote this story for a writing exercise with John Marsden, an author from Australia that visited us.

Lady Gaga's Not-So-Famous Make-up artist/ stylist/ photographer?



I know what you're thinking.
I bet that you're thinking, 'What's with the title,  why Lady Gaga, and what's with the picture?'
Well, you can probably find the answers when you read on, and if you don't read on, you won't find the answers and if you e-mail me asking for the answer, I'm not going to answer you.









1) My Ripped Jeans= I love these jeans because they are "in style" right now. I have an obsession for fashion, I read the fashion magazines like Vogue or Marie Claire and plus, these jeans hug my curves although they are 3 sizes too big (I wear size 27, these are size 30). They also moves the attention from my torso to my toned legs. I bought them at Forever 21 last year. I don’t always wear them because they slide down my hips a lot, and apparently, people find it inappropriate to wear these because there are too many rips. I had to beg my mom to let me buy these jeans and I bought it in Pavilion.



2) My Anarchy Converse= As you can tell, Converse is my favorite shoe brand. I currently have 4 pairs, but I outgrew 1 so I'm going to ask for a new pair, Metallica this time. Metallica is the first band that played metal music and they're a legend. I have an  AC/DC one, a black one with pipe prints (the one I outgrew), my Anarchy one, and one with the paint marks and Grace's (My best friend that moved) signature on it. I don’t usually wear the one with Grace’s signature because I don’t want it to fade away. We were playing truth or dare on my iPod Touch after Batik last year, and it said "Let someone write something on the sole of your feet" but I was wearing my converse and was too lazy to take it off.



3) My Thomas Sabo Necklace= I'm not sure if you can see it, but I have my Thomas Sabo necklace there, the one with the Eiffel Tower chain and the ISKL one. This is my BFF necklace, I gave one to Grace, Diksha, and Sophie. This necklace is important because it makes me think of Grace and she is best friend. We promised each other that we're going to meet each other someday in Paris. Grace and I had planned to make a salon, her as the hairstylist and me as the Make-up artist. I got the idea for the saloon when we were fooling around at Grace's house and she was doing my hair, and I was doing her make-up. That was the best memory I had with her.



4) Lady Gaga Album= Lady Gaga is my hero, I love her music. I find that some of her clothes are very bizarre, while some of them are really pretty. I love how she is so creative, and doesn't care about what other people say about her. I find her confidence very inspirational. I’ve read articles where fashion critics judge her by saying “Her clothes are too crazy” but I admire her because she never changed no matter what the critics said about her. She is also my hero because she dares to be unique and takes risks to be creative.



5) My Digital camera= This item is important because I love photography, and to take the picture above, I used my Canon one. My Canon one is EOS 550, I think it's 18 or more mega-pixels. This camera is Shock & Waterproof so I can usually bring it down to the pool or to sleepovers, it is important because I took some of the best memories with this camera. The other orange one is 12 mega-pixels and I really love it because it has all these modes that are so cool, like the speed shutter, it’s where you press on the take picture button for a long time and the results will be like about 20 pictures, depending on now long you press it for, when you scan through it, it moves as if it were a video. I got my Canon camera this summer and the Lumix one last year.



6) My Twilight book= I chose this item because I'm a big twilight freak. I am on Team Jacob because I believe that love comes from friendship, instead of love at first sight. My favorite book from the series is Breaking Dawn and I'm planning to watch Vampires Suck next week. I started reading them during the summer of 2009 and got addicted. It took me only 1 week to finish the series! Last year, I planned to see New Moon with Wai Yan, but my mom got sick so I had to cancel the plans. This Summer, I went to see Eclipse with 2 of my cousins. The movie I plan to see on the 28th is called Vampires Suck, it’s a hilarious parody of the Twilight Series.



7) My 'Wateva' doodle-pad= I think that this item is important because it is like my sketchbook, but instead of being huge, it is pocket size so I can bring it anywhere. It has most of my best sketches I have done in YEARS. It’s also handy because I can just scribble notes here. It also is important because I bring it to every class and whenever I get bored, I just doodle in it. It also helps me let my feelings out by drawing things, whenever I’m sad I don’t usually let my feelings out and wear a fake smile. I let my feelings out in my room , I lock my door, keep my windows closed and turn the lights off, this helps me because I don’t want people to see me cry and this connects to my doodle-pad because it's where I express my feelings.



8) Seventeen magazine= I find this magazine important because it has fashion, make-up, and guy tips. It also has inspiring stories and hilarious traumaramas (embarrassing moments). This magazine is also great because it has the do’s and don’ts for fashion, like what type of clothes are great for your body shape and what’s not so great. It also has what’s in and how to be creative with make-up. It also has great work-out tips and how to get great hair and skin. There is also coupons and free gifts but I can’t get it because I always get the US one.



9) My Mascara= I think that this mascara is important because I really want to be a make-up artist, but I think that it'll be my second career because I want to be a lawyer too. I have other make-up products but I find this one most important because I use it daily and it makes my very thin lashes appear thicker and longer, this one is by Maybelline, but the one I want is by MAC because it's the brand that most make-up artists use.



10) My flat iron= I love having straight hair. I use this flat iron whenever I go out, I don't use it to school because my hair dryer is broken and it take a few hours for my hair to dry. I also love these because they leave my hair smooth & flat for the whole day. My natural hair is wavy and very poofy, which is kind of annoying, but they are pretty tame. I have 3 different shampoos and conditioners. I use my sunsilk shampoo when I use my flat iron.



11) My iPod Touch= I find this item  important because it is filled with all my favorite songs and it has pictures of Grace & I. Most of my songs are rock and heavy metal.
My favorite band is Slipknot and my favorite song by them is ; Before I Forget and my current favorite song is “Hey There, Delilah” by The Plain White T’s because it would be amazing to have a boyfriend write a song like that for me because that would be so romantic. I am also in love with the song "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance, because the mood really changes throughout the song.

Dina Goldstein

I just recently discovered a photographer, her name is Dina Goldsten.
I was very amazed by her artwork.
My favorite ones were the one when she took photographs of models as the Disney Princesses and how they would look like in reality.

Why I Chose the term 'A Hero is Born Among a Hundred'

“A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men.”

-Plato
I chose this quote because I think what he said was true, a hero is born among a hundred, maybe some of them are unrecognized or even forgotten. Plato was a Greek philosopher, and has many great quotes. I was inspired by this quote because like I said, a hero is born among hundreds, and maybe, the hero might be someone you know!

Dance for Peace


I think that what Matt is doing is really great, because being connected by dancing with everyone around the world is very peaceful to watch. It's like we have no worries, no racism, no sexism, no deadly diseases, no poverty and no unequalness. When I saw him dancing with the children from africa, they look so happy to be dancing with Matt. I think that what Matt is doing is quite unique, fun and brings a smile to it face when we see the video, from his funny dancing and all the people so happy to be dancing.

I chose this picture because it shows friends with different shapes and sizes dancing and just having fun

Flowers Blooming

I think that what the compliment guys are doing is really creative and friendly because maybe a person they were complimenting was having a bad day, their compliment might cheer them up.


I personally think that if someone just randomly compliments you while you're on your way to class is really nice. Once, I read somewhere that one girl was going to commit suicide one night, and a stranger just walked up and said that her hair was nice. She didn't commit suicide that night and it was just because of a little thing that somebody said, and that is why I think being nice/ complimenting other people is really important.

I chose this picture because when you get a compliment, it's like little flowers bloom inside of you.

Would you want your future to be decided by others ? Why or Why not?

I would never want my future to be decided by other people because it would really suck if my parents got me into a medical while I wanted to go into the Arts. It would also suck if my parents have an arranged marriage for me because freedom for me is really important, and I really need my own private time to read and all. If I lived in Jonas' community, my life would be really plain and boring, though their life is perfect to some people, it's not perfect for me. A perfect life for me would be going to rock concerts everyday and go out at night, and of course shopping. I think that in Jonas' community, there is no music at all and music is a really important part of my life, it made me the person I am today. Sameness really sucks because I really like being different from other people.
