How to Curl Hair

                    Here is a helpful video for you girls (and some guys) out there. In this video you will learn how to curl your hair. There are a lot of different types of curls such as crimps, waves, and afros! Hopefully you can find out which one suits you the most and put it to action. Excuse Chubster's attempt to look sporty with her soccer jersey. Truth is, it was only $5 at Thailand and a really good knock off. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this long video (the longest video I ever published). Have a laugh, get some knowledge, and have a nice day!

              This video was made a while back before I knew iMovie secrets. Now that I know them, I can guarantee you will laugh out loud. Peace.

Nail Polish Review

Thanks for supporting me and finally reaching 3000 pageviews!

Essie nail polish is one of my favorites! A lot of times nail polishes become gooey and streaky as they get older. This nail polish's thickness is thin but perfectly opaque even after a long period of time. Essie also has a wide variety of beautiful colors and dries pretty quickly. Furthermore, Essie has a lot of nourishing nail polishes and matte top coats. However, Essie comes with a cost. Unlike most nail polishes, new colors from Essie can be around $7- $8. If you are up to paying that price for a bottle might as well. But if you can't, there are more options out there.

Sally Hansen can be your next choice. This runner up is known for its different types of nail polishes. For example, Sally Hansen sells Insta Dry, Salon Effect, HD, Nail Art Pens and a lot more. This nail polish comes with nice colors with mediocre quality. Sally Hansen generally goes on sale at drug stores for around $5- $8 a bottle. This affordable choice is good for first timers but if you want more of a luxury look at a different section.

OPI would be for ones who like their nails more professional. I was immediately impressed with the wide selection of colors and quick dry time.  The quality of this product is around the same if not a little less than Essie but comes with more in its bottle. Charging at $6- $9 this nail polish is an eye popping color pick. OPI is known for it's theme locations and flamboyant advertisements. It also has Matte Nail Polish, Crackle, and famous celebrity sponsors. This nail product is flashy, bold, and red carpet ready.

                    This was the funnest day ever! Spending time at Maria's house with her unexpected random stair case steps and forever locked bathrooms! Besides that, God gave me the coolest friends ever ;)

What We ate Today

                One day when my parents were gone, we wanted to show them that we can provide a meal on our own. Originally I wanted to show this to my parents, which I did, but I'll show it to you guys too. I made this video sometime around when my family and I came back from Asia. On imovie, I learned some really neat tricks you'll be seeing in this video that is a little different than before. I hope you enjoy watching this and I hope it inspires you to go to your kitchen and fetch something to eat.

How to Braid

            This is for all of you who don't know how to braid. I realized that my previous videos were too advanced for some. So I'm going to start from scratch and teach you all how to braid.

Dear Kitty,

 Dear Nermal,

From the left: Rusty, Cobs, Nermal, and poor Contrast

         You were the second Cambodian kitty I loved (next to Cobs.) I miss you so much. Although we only met for an hour or two, it feels like we've known each other for forever. I really miss pulling you away from your kitty friends so you and I could hang out. I loved when Jonathan, Chubster, and I took you and your siblings for a walk to look at some ducks. I love your green eyes and tender heart <3 You are probably a big kitty now... learning how to survive or having feelings for other cats.Wherever you are stay close to the ones you love especially that adorable little girl that takes care of you. Don't venture out too far. It is dangerous at night. Always walk with a buddy like Mom, Cobs, Rusty, or Contrast. I really miss you but it is highly unlikely I will see you again. We live in a big world Nermal, and things aren't always la-la loopsy here. But as long as you are safe with your family I am happy. Write back soon or at least purr your loudest. You were always a squealer. Sorry if I held you too tight in Cambodia. Or put you momentarily on a tree filled with red ants. I know you would've forgiven me. Stay close to Mama and the little girl too.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Nermal

                                                                XOX,

Freaky Friday

                Did you ever have that feeling of panic before? I'm sure you have but this type of panic is different. This type of panic is when you are scared for your life. Well, not really your life but your mind makes you feel that way. Still don't get it? For example, when there is a big hurricane everybody is talking about and you have to evacuate your location. Or when you are going to a foreign country and something goes wrong. It's times like these where you just say a quick prayer that goes something like "God please keep me safe! There is so much I want to do in life! I thought you had more plans for me!"
              This Friday I heard many people talking about a fight coming from another school to our school. I freaked out. There were a lot of school safety patrol people everywhere and people were talking like "Bye! I'll see you Monday... hopefully...."

              Before I proceed I must tell you that my mind prepares me for the definite worst. Even though it wasn't that bad, I was scared as heck that day.

              Seriously everything just got me so scared I didn't even want to leave my classroom to go and "release the elements" even though I had to so badly. In biology, I couldn't even focus on the most easiest lesson in the world (food chains!) While I was going to biology however, my friend told me that she knew someone who said some of the kids were actually in the school already! Every time the door opened in my classroom I would check to see who it is. I was that scared okay?! I heard people talking about coming out of the school building and seeing people waiting to beat you up.  I already planned the way I would run to my dad's car. I was even disappointed in how I wasn't wearing my running shoes.
                 Fast forward and I'm at home typing this post while just finishing a chicken noodle soup. I got to say, I really scared myself! But seriously some seniors were scared. I just hope something like this doesn't happen again or else I will make myself faint. Hopefully, next time this happens I would stay calm (yeah right.) At the end, I heard nothing really ever happened. Those are the type of moments that I overreact to. I pray that I don't under react to an actual serious situation (yikes!) I am just happy that everyone is safe and that it is Friday :)

Floral Nails

                 My voice is very nasal and I may change pitches once in a while. IT'S NATURAL WHEN YOU'RE  SICK :D I actually filmed this a while back but edited it during the Thanksgiving break. Also, you may have noticed, I didn't do my right hand. I have an excuse. It was close to dinner time and my dad hates the smell :) If you didn't get the musical ensamble thing, I like making music (with the pre played ones) on garage band and adding them in my videos. I would describe it has classical contemporary but I'll leave it up to you upon how you would describe it. Anyways, I ended test prep like I said before. I'm also starting to get situated in my school. The science teacher I used to have was a pain in my beep so my parents and I had to go through a lot with her. Detail, details, details. Eventually, I switched classes in which the students aren't all the brightest (compared to my other class for smarties.) "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" Matthew 5:44. So even though she is a pain, I pray she will seek God one day :)

              The new teacher actually cares for the students and wants to help them do better.  I'm happy God provided me with parents that will stick up for me even though I may have done wrong. I can't handle drama from people like her on my own. My motto currently is "everything is part of His plan." Every class I am in, every person I meet, and even every conflict I come across. Talk about rambling! Sorry about that. I hope you enjoyed the video though! Love ya!

Here is your Thanksgiving Gift! Enjoy!

Hang in There!

            Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been posting since November 9 (I've been told) but I promise you I'll make it up to you guys. I just finished a long test prep session and battle with my biology teacher (I'll tell you about that later). That pretty much sucked the whole fun out of my October. But after the flood, out came a rainbow. Right? You should be expecting some awesome new videos and touching posts during Thanksgiving break. Thanks for the support my peeps!

My Brother

Ant reading this very post

              My brother is going to hurt me for saying that he's so tall. Let's face the facts Ant, YOU ARE! My brother is very different from other brothers. Unlike most of them, he is not very bothersome. And if he is, he probably just wants to hang out with me and I'm busy doing something. Ant is humble, kind, generous, and imaginative. Most sisters yearn for a single hug from their older brother. Either they're too busy, you're not cool enough, or it's just plain awkward for them. But Ant is different. I call him Ant obviously not because of his size, but  I can't call him And! That would be so silly!
              In the late 1900 (the old times), when it was just us two without Chubster things were much better. PSYCH! just kidding. We used to live in a smaller house and would play in the driveway. We had a neighbor that would watch us play while my parents were busy with something. Ant would play with his cars and I would want to play with them too. So I usually just took them away from him and he would let me. So sweet! If he didn't let me I would cry a lot. Then my neighbor would snitch on me to my parents saying I was a trouble maker and Ant was an angel. Psht! Yeah right. Ant was always a really sweet boy from the start. When we moved into our new house, Dad was asking us who wanted to get the room next to the bathroom and who wanted the room at the end of the hallway. For some strange reason we both wanted the one near the bathroom although the other room was bigger. So my dad flipped a coin and I lost. I was very sad. Another time it was who can have the ant farm in their room. Don't ask me why I would have wanted ants in the room. Once again I lost but Ant let me have them. I think later on I got kind of grossed out with them and moved them downstairs. Don't even get me started with how much imagination he has. When we were little I would see Ant on the staircase playing with little figures of all kinds. For a while he would go back and forth with those little figures and make action noises. You do not know how hard it is to express action noises in writing but I'll try. Pshhhhhhhhhhhh. Booooooom. Slap. Now do you see how hard it is for me?

            Sometimes Ant and I would get into fights but nothing severe. They were always more of a bicker. Ant would be studying something and I would slowly walk in his room and scare him. But now I don't have time for those immature ANTics (see what I did there). Ant tends to have bad table manners that would always tick me off!

Here's a picture (to the right) of Ant trying to help me with math problems. By the look of his face you can conclude yourself that he later threw  the ipod away from me D:

 I honestly can't recall a time where Ant and I just went at it. Especially now that school started we hardly have time to. I am just so happy God gave me a brother I could look up to (physically and mentally) I know he cares for me and is concerned for whatever choices I make. If I didn't have someone in my family that could tolerate me I would have drove them bananas! HE IS AWESOME! I LOVE YOU BRO!

How Halloween Has "Treated" Me

                   Here is a picture of my pre-k class. The school is the church that my church and I go to after ice skating (familiar much?) I am all the way to the right and the only one being "me" for Halloween. At least that's what I told people. All the girls were princesses and the boys were either a cop, tiger, and power ranger... I think? This is a great picture to sum up how my first school Halloween went. I looked so sad and misplaced.

                  Now this is how Halloween should be! This was one year after that miserable Halloween (kindergarten). I was a princess as you all can tell with my little crown. And woah! Who's that?! It's my brother in a inflated dragon contraption. I think in my school we had to walk around the neighborhood to support a cancer charity. We did it in our costumes :) I honestly don't remember too much of that day. What I do remember is a year or two after that Halloween, I was a hula girl. I just wore a grass skirt with flowers around my wrist and neck.. I didn't JUST where them  though... awkward... I specifically remember that day when I went to the bathroom and this "hot shot" fifth grader was like "what are you?" Back then, I thought fifth graders were awesome. Thinking back now, they're so ... not. They have iPhones, where make-up, and own The North Face book bags. Well, that's it for my flashbacks!

Track Diet

                 Here is a picture of a typical breakfast I usually eat the day of practice. You got some carbs from the whole wheat rice bread, protein in the eggs, and dairy in the milk. To stop the stitches in the stomach when I run, I like to eat bananas. They are full of good vitamins like potassium. Actually I think coconut juice has more :P ButI don't like coconuts :( Then I have my generous portion of sweets in my nutella. I then usually drink a carton of muscle milk (contains no milk D:) This meal would bring good performance and energy to a race!

What the?

           Hey guys! I never posted a blog post with only writing in it so here it is. School has been going out pretty well for me.  I experienced new things. Like witnessing my first fight at lunch, getting back my first test (ps: proud 96 :D), and meeting Christians like me. I knew my school had a club called "Seekers" (which I should be joining soon now that I have my card), but I never knew Christians could be the people I am talking to everyday! My closest new friend I have around 5 classes with is someone I would have never expected. Jaime is Indian so usually they would believe things closer to their culture. I would have never guessed until I brought up the topic about the club. That was a shocker because I've never met someone like her before. So I guess now we have more to talk about :D She is planning to go to the club with me (yay.) There also is this other friend named Zachary. I met him at lunch and was thinking on the back of my head how come this boy doesn't curse?! You see, in a public school like mine, where there are different type of people all around you, I would expect some swears here and there. But no. So I knew something was a little different about him.  I really knew this when he came to school with a deerfoot lodge shirt (Christian boy camp). Since my brother went there, I was very much familiar in what it was. I only saw "eerfoo" and "odge" becuase he was wearing a hoodie :P Jaime told me that on his facebook his profile picture would be a cross and he would but Bible quotes as his status :D But it was so different to see people like me in my school. The realization would probably hit me more when I am actually in the club :) In high school, you really have to choose your friend wisely. I'm not saying you must be narrow minded and look for standards for these people. But simple know that you should hang out with people you think are nice and kind. You can still be friendly to everyone, but the ones who you tend to see more often in school are the ones you should become close with. Just hang out with the right crowd because your friends can influence  you greatly ;)
             Hey guys this is a couple weeks later... school is not going so well. I am now an average student with average grades :( (ps: pitiful 76 on bio) I'm not joining the club because of biology. I don't have the time for everything. Also, my parents made me quit track for a little while but later on agreed to it again after the championships. So track is still awesome and I just had my first race... waiting for the results :D But yeah, a lot of things have changed ever since I wrote that old post :( I might not be able to do "DIY weekly" or post much. I have to focus on boring stuff and get it out of the way until I know where I'm going for the future. So, hopefully things won't be so full of :( faces later on. Later!
