Happy (Late) May the 4th!!!

May the force be with you! Dang it! I missed it again (missed comic con again too :( But this time I have a good excuse....Story time!

I was at work, (it wasn't a super long shift, just a good ole 11-5) And I'm working, then five o clock comes around and I rushed out like wildfire. Although as soon as I got home, my sister and I just flopped in bed we were like: "We'll just sit in bed and not go to sleep"....Then at 9:30pm we wake up and we were feeling so disoriented. We had dinner and then went right back to bed.
I've also been feeling a bit sick since Tuesday. We had Chinese food for dinner and I don't think it settled correctly in my stomach, we then had a shake, and since then I've felt like vomiting (I haven't yet though)

Oh yeah, and I burnt myself a tiny bit recently while I was making dinner, so now I have these little pink stripes across my finger :)

But yeah that's why I wasn't able to do anything for star wars day (which is very disappointing)

Thanks for reading this useless rant.

God's Not Dead 2

Wow, I loved that movie a lot more than I thought I would. It's just as good as the first movie. And it really opened my eyes to how the world is but how God can conquer all of it if we just believe in him.

Recently I've been trying to get closer to God after some events about 3 years ago. I'd been feeling depressed and alone even in a house full of siblings. I've been missing God in my life and have let worldly possessions attempt to soften the pain I've been feeling but I didn't realize I've been needing God more than anything.
I grew up in a Christian home, my dad was a Pastor and Missionary to Cuba. I got saved when I was eight and baptized that Summer (2009). Even at that age I felt very close to God.
But then my parents divorced, and we didn't get to church, and the stress in the past couple of years have pushed me farther and farther from God. I tried to find comfort in things that were only temporary, after doing all that it just made me feel worse.
This past year I'm finally working on getting closer to God. It's hard because sometimes I'll question my faith and what I believe in. It's hard to ignore the devil and all the wickedness we're exposed to these days.

So basically, This movie gave me another reminder of how great God is. And that we're not alone, not for one second, he is there with us forever.
(I was literally tearing up at this movie...)

Thanks for reading! Now I have to get ready for work.

Hello again.
I've been surfing the web and such and I recently have been wanting to get a Nintendo 3ds because I wanted some sort of game system to use and I've been wanting to play some of the Pokemon games out there. (Mario and others as well) I watch the Pokemon show and such, but I never got to play any of the Pokemon games.
So I searched the web and of course went to Ebay.com and they have lots of consoles, but I know that ebay can be scammy so I wanted to get a new unopened 3ds and I found two I like. I also didn't want to spend $200+ so I found these two at around $160+ so I'm gonna be saving up for one of those...One is lime green and one is Hello Kitty....Which one...
Also I've been wanting to get an amiibo figure so that I could play with my younger siblings who have a Wii u.
So I also found a Rosalina and Pikachu amiibo that are around $12.99.

Does anyone have advice on Nintendo 3ds and amiibos in general. If so please let me know.

Thanks for reading!!!

A week ago I finally saw the Star Wars Rogue One movie at my dad's......For some stupid reason I didn't think I would like it all that much. I thought I wouldn't care if I saw it or not...(This is coming from a super geeky star wars girl :)
BOY I WAS WRONG!!!!
So we sat down to watch it and as soon as the beginning credits started, I started getting interested.
I fell in love with this movie. I love everything about it! The characters, the sets, the music, the story, how it all ties in and goes together. I love stories like that.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!
Not a lot I can say about this movie because there aren't enough words to describe it.

Thanks for reading this short and rant of a post.
CYA!

Happy New Year 2017! +Christmas haul!

Hello Hello Hello!!! Happy New Year 2017! I hope you all had a wonderful 2016!

Note; I'm not in any way trying to brag about what I got for Christmas at all.

Now on with the post!

So I still have that problem with that camera so I'll just have to show you the online ones.

Note: I do not own these pictures.

First me and my younger siblings went to my dad's Christmas eve and stayed till 10am Christmas day, here is the haul
First an 'It's an anime thing you wouldn't understand' hoodie, I've been wanting one of these for so long now once I started getting obsessed with anime so this was perfect!



I also got a key-chain from the anime 'One Piece' which me and my younger sister are currently watching, I'm obsessed with it :) We're in the alabasta arc right now so please no spoilers :) The key-chain is the straw hat skull and crossbones.


My dad said my last gift from him is still being mailed to him, so I won't get it till next week :) Also he and my aunt gave me and my younger siblings money to shop sometime later.

At my house we did our Christmas eve on Christmas day and the next day was Christmas!!! Here is what I got!
The master guide to drawing anime by Christopher Hart

I also got a 'One Piece' chopper funko pop!!!! I love him so much! He is so cute!

AND LOOK LOOK LOOK! I got American Girl's Lea Clark's messenger bag for girls from my younger sister!!!! I've been wanting it all year! It's so awesome!!!!!! I attached my one piece key-chain to it :)

I got a sketchbook from my sister, (I can't find the picture for it :) but the front cover is white for a dry erase marker :)
From my mom I got lime green (which is a favorite color of mine) high top converse and I love them!

I also got ugg boots from my mom as well! I'd been wanting to get a pair for this winter:)


Now, I haven't seen sword art online yet but my sister got me this t-shirt and I think it's pretty cool :)


My older sister got me this black sweater with Pokemon 'sewn on' patches of pikachu, squirtle, bulbasaur, charmander and the pokeball it's so cute and comfy but I can't find a picture of it :(
Speaking of comfy, my grandma got me and my younger and older sisters new comforter sets! I haven't had one in like 7 years, I had that hot pink leopard one which I loved but I needed a new one :)
It's so comfy, it's white so that I can get pillows and bedspreads so that everything matches, and it's a down-filled comforter!


Me, my younger sister and my older sister got a PS4 from my mom and brother! It's awesome! I'm going to convince my older sister to download crunchyroll so I can watch anime in my room :)
My other older brother got us a gaming computer that he customized himself because he is a computer genius, both he and my other older brother. we've been playing terraria on it with him so it's pretty awesome.
My little sister got me and my other younger sister a shopkins set. My younger brother got me a little kit with like nail clippers and stuff :)
But yeah, I think that's it. I'm very grateful and thankful for what I got. Thanks family! :D

I'm excited this year because I can get my permit and license for driving, and start doing martial arts and gymnastics! Which I've been waiting so long to do! I'm also going to learn Spanish and Japanese. I've also been learning how to draw anime slowly but surely which I've been wanting to do since I was little :)

So what are your plans for this year? Are you excited about 2017?

Thanks for reading! Happy New Year 2017!

I also got my first job! I've been working for a few months now, I'm so thankful that I got it, I'd been waiting so long.

I'm thankful of course for my family, and everything God has given me.

Movie review: Storks

Hey all! I'm so glad it's autumn (or at least officially), I just wish it would cool down.
Today I went with my dad and my younger siblings to see the new movie; Storks! So Here goes!

Here is it's summary:
Storks deliver babies -- or at least they used to. Now, they deliver packages for a global internet retail giant. Junior (Andy Samberg), the company's top delivery stork, lands in hot water when the Baby Factory produces an adorable but wholly unauthorized girl. Desperate to deliver this bundle of trouble, Junior and his friend Tulip (Katie Crown), the only human on Stork Mountain, race against time to make their first baby drop before the boss (Kelsey Grammer) finds out.

Okay. It was a pretty adorable movie. And definitely kid friendly in my opinion (but that just me :). 
I loved the animation. so cute, bright and colorful. And I think the animator's had a lot of fun making the characters, especially the babies. Because a lot of the babies had like green, purple, pink and fun colors like that for their hair and I just loved that. 

Anywho. Not much to say about it, It's so cute to the point where you wouldn't have to say much about it. 
But yeah.  

So. I loved this movie, very cute, adorable, and sweet. A great family movie.


BTW- I never got to review zootopia, kung fu panda 3 and secret life of pets.
Zootopia-
IT WAS SO ADORABLE!!! I'm so disappointed I never got to see it in theaters! :( It was so so so cute and awesome! :)

Secret life of pets-
Not a fan really, I didn't hate it but I did not love it at all. It was basically that animal movie where they get lost and have to find their way home again.

Kung fu panda 3-
No no no no no no no. Just NO. Not a fan at all. I'm sorry but I hated it.

Also! I"M SO SUPER DUPER EXCITED ABOUT DISNEY'S MOANA MOVIE!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!
So yeah, which movies are you excited to see?
CYA!!!!

3. lots of personal stuff...
Anyways! It's September! So it's time for autumn!!!! I'm so happy and excited, it's slowly starting to get cooler..And soon I can get the hoodies and the beanies out. During this time in about a few weeks I start reading Harry potter because when I first read it, it was September and so you know, it's now a tradition!
Also I SUPER DUPER EXCITED FOR HALLOWEEN!
Here are some old pics from last fall that are really overdue

The day after my 15th birthday (I didn't know my sister was taking a picture of me so I'm obviously not smiling :)

Last year's Halloween costume was a wolf.

last winter in our field

In 2013-2014? we were playing Duck Dynasty. while riding bikes, we loved that show back then.

My 14th birthday was Big hero 6 themed.

I got a big hero 6 book, 

2007, in Mexico at chichen itza. I'm in the purple

Some of these were random pics but I just wanted to show them :)

But yeah I'm really excited for fall and Halloween, stores are already selling stuff for it. What are your costume ideas? 

CYA!

Etsy prototypes + ahsoka hoodie review

Hello! Here are some prototype ideas for my etsy shop! My Kanani doll is modeling them for me :) (Note: this is old  clothing that I'm upcycling :)
First up is this top, it is pale pink, has ribbons to keep it on, and on the bottom is a Hello Kitty tag.
Then there are hot pink shorts.

Here she is again with the same shirt but with an upcycled hot pink Hello Kitty mini skirt with a Hello Kitty decal, that I made into a doll skirt.

Here she is with an aqua blue cotton tank, and an upcycled sky blue skirt with patterns on it.

You could also pull the shirt up for a crop top :)

Here are some upcycled jeans with some embroidery on them that I made into doll jeans.

Here is a pair of doll sized purple sweatpants.

This is all the items together, what do you think? I mean I'm still working on other stuff for the shop but here are some AG doll clothes.


Next up is my short Ahsoka Tano hoodie review! Yay! So this came a week after I ordered it which was awesome :) Here is the Hunic's front side, which has her whole top part of her outfit :)

Here is the back side of the Hunic which is just as detailed as the front :) It even has her padawan bead things that hang on her lekku. And one of them was printed to look like it was ripped off, just like in the show :)

On the sleeves you have the option to wear it like a sleeve or like finger-less gloves like Ahsoka does :)

From a scale of one to ten (sounds like Baymax) how would I rate this item? Um..9.5, why? Because of some of the design being kinda printed on there, I'm sure that after weeks or a few months of wear might scratch it off, and I'm not sure how long it will fit me, it fits me fine right now but let's say next autumn or in two years I may not fit it then, so I will enjoy it while I can!
If you're looking for a super cool Ahsoka tano hoodie for a costume or just an everyday hoodie, you should really look into getting one of these, I got mine at like 20-30% off which was great :) My younger sister got one too!
This is a recent picture of me for my 'about me' page, which is updated now!

This is my bed space, where I draw, sometimes sew, and obviously sleep :)

This one side of my shelf where I keep my pencils, colored pencils, my favorite stuffed dog Archie and other random stuff :)

This is the other side of my shelf where I keep my favorite books like; Harry potter, 'how to draw anime and manga' books, my homelanders book, ever after high, big hero 6, LOTR, and lots of notebooks :)

Thanks for reading! And I'll CYA next time!
