A Bookworm in her Natural Habitat

I love reading. I want to dig my nose deep into the worlds of characters and get lost in the fantasy which I would much rather prefer to than our reality. But of course, those "better" worlds only live within the confines of a book. That's why I have come to the realization that books are like prisons. Not only do they hold the characters as prisoners, but also the readers. Because, honestly-- as a person with not much excitement going on in her life-- I feel like once I start reading an epic story with lots of twists and thrilling bits, I start feeling like a prisoner in my world, thinking, "why is our boring world the only one that exists?" There should be alternate worlds you can step into. Just like in the Lego Movie. That movie was just literally awesome. I can't even. I just can't. 

But you know, it probably isn't the world who's boring. It's you. You could go out right now and start living a spontaneous life, but instead you're sitting there reading this. Don't get me wrong, I know how tiring it is to live an amazing life, that's why you and I would much rather sit and work on a blog. But I'd like to see you at least try to put yourself out there and do something crazy. Sitting around and reading books for the duration of your teen years is a waste because you can read all you want and be boring when you're older(Alaska Young philosophy). But I really do appreciate you reading this. Really.

Risk Takers

So, my friends came over to my house last saturday to do a collab for our youtube channels. And yes, we are small youtubers still trying to expand our subscribers(hopefully, you could do me a favor and go on ahead over to my channel and subcribe Click this). One of my friends owned a DSLR camera and took a few photos of me for his youtube video which is going to be a lookbook on his outfits and mine. We had so much fun that day and I loved posing for him. He also inspired me to continue this blog, so here I am. These pictures were taken on my rooftop which has a wonderful view of the mountains, a lake and the city. I live on a hill, so basically.

Recently, I've been getting a lot pressure due to the fact that I am running as Treasurer of the Supreme Student Government. We just had our campaign this week and the students have already cast their votes. I think we'll know who the newly elected officers are on monday. I'm praying I win(do pray for me as well).

Here's my really awesome photographer friend. He's such a risk-taker. He actually climbed onto the roof and stood there like some sort of trapeze artist. He is just insane. He really had me scared for his life, but eventually I joined him.

So that's it. I hope you enjoyed today's post! Hopefully, my mom's plan of buying me a camera gets seen through. Here is one more photo to sum up my feeling of being horrified that Larlo and I would plunge to our death. Bye guys!

Festival Queen & Commitment

Okay. So this happens to be my first post. These pictures were taken way back when I was chosen to represent my school for festival queen all over our division. I just decided to post these because they're the only pictures I have on my laptop this current moment. I'm thinking of saving up to by a DSLR camera because I'd just like to really be committed to updating this blog and the only way I can do that is if I had a camera. Imagine all the beauty I could capture and show on my blog! It would become my new passion until, you know, I get bored of it. Or too busy. But I just really want to practice being truly committed to something like I was during this competition.

I won 1st runner-up, by the way. This lovely girl beside me won the over all competition. It was a really grand experience, one that I wish I could experience again.
