Be You

Always be yourself and be who you are . Express yourself in any kind of way and don’t listen to what other people say or talk about. It’s YOUR life not their life . Do whatever you want to do it’s your decision of what to do because you will always have yourself by the end of the end of the day . Don’t be someone you don’t want to be . Is a waste of time . Be confident about yourself ! Happiness is found when  you stop comparing yourself with other people. It’s hard hearing people talking bad stuff about you but keep your head up every time and show that you are strong enough and you can go through whatever happens even if it hurts . Keep on living your life and never give up on your dreams . Accomplish all your dreams . At the end of the day all you got is yourself and every person is beautiful their own way . Nobody in this world is perfect and people make mistakes but it’s life guys !! Never give up on something and fight to be the best you can be . Start your day with a good positive mood .

WHY YOU SHOULD SMILE AND BE HAPPY☺  

You should be happy because being sad is not good. You should try you’re best to smile or try to laugh so the pain go away faster, being sad and really thinking about it makes you more sad. Pain don’t last and pain hurts you while smiling doesn’t so be happy and don’t be negative. Everyone looks nicer and better smiling. So smile today, tomorrow, and the day after , and after , and after , and after , and after,    and after , and after , and after , and everyday!  

Be happy always , don’t forget to smile.

    THE INCREDIBLES 2

The Incredibles 2 is coming out in 2016! I can’t believe it took a long time for a sequel to come out for this movie but I’m glad It’ll be in theaters next year. All I hope is that the same characters will be in it. For those who don’t know the movie, The Incredibles deals with a family of Superheroes

consisting of the dad (who is super strong),the mom (who can stretch to incredible heights), their teenage daughter Violet (who has the power of invisibility), their 4th grader son “Dash” (super speed), and their baby son Jack-Jack (no official super power, but can shapeshift to any power).

COURAGE

* Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain,etc. without fear; bravery

* Never take someone’s feeling for granted because you never know how much courage that they took to show it to you...

DREAM

Do you ever just stop everything you're doing and dream about the future. Do you ever see a picture and it just takes you places. For example if you see a picture of a big house and say to yourself,  “Ooh i wanna live there!” Then you say ohh i want to have this kind of bedroom or this kind of staircase. You're not just talking to yourself, you are  DREAMING! You are dreaming of the future another way you can call this specific  topic is a dream house, many people do this. There are so many thing to dream about it can be a boy, clothes, or a place. You simply can't go wrong with dreams, in life you should just DREAM BIG!

Russia bombs Syria

                                                                                               By: Daniel Gutierrez

          Earlier on Wednesday the 30th of September, 2015, Russian Air Force launched an airstrike on ISIS bases that contained ammunition, vehicles, military equipment, and weapons. Syrian officials granted Russia permission to launch an airstrike early morning of wednesday and was carried out that afternoon. A curious thing to think about is that Russia sent air-air combat planes instead of air-ground planes. Why would they send planes that are made to fight other planes? Are they planning an attack on a country with a strong Air Force? The United States maybe? The U.S is alert and will be keeping an eye out because I will be.

Our Morality

             We’ve all had that voice in our head telling us what is right and what is wrong. “Keep the money for yourself”, “take it to the authorities”, “make fun of that guy’s appearance”, “ask if the guy is all right”, “beat him up”, “don’t beat him up”, “kill him”, “don’t kill him.” I'm sorry if I seem a bit preachy, but it has to be said. Just one day ago I saw a trio of kids throw a freshman’s backpack around. I won’t name them. The kid said he had his computer in there. Really? The group of guys knew it was in there, but they didn’t care. All they wanted to do was have “fun”. It's not just that, people just don’t seem to care for other people’s feelings. They don’t care what she’ll feel after they call her a whore. They don’t care what he’ll feel after being called a retard. I know maybe those people don’t have it good at home, but still…... deal with that at home. One last thing, if you’re having a hard time with personal business, do something about it. Don’t let it out on other who probably are having a bad day as well. If your parents aren’t “parents of the year,” do something about it! Turn your problems into solutions. Don’t just leave it as it is. You don’t deserve to live like that.

Know Yourself.

  Let’s just get straight to the point: If someone wanna act funny and act different because someone else came back into their life? Just fall back. Words from me to you: DON’T CHASE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WORTH KEEPING. Period. No excuses. You have to realize high school is supposed to be fun and full of memories, good memories. You don’t want to look back on 2015 and say that you spent most of your year crying in the bathroom over some boy that didn’t even care about you at all. Be strong, STAY STRONG. And for the guys? Treat us girls right. And most of you wonder why y'all single.. As for the girls, I’ll be strong with you and if you need a friend, ask around for A.C. or Alex. I got you. Promise.

The new iPhones are finally here!

The new 6S and 6S Plus look the same as their predecessors -- in this case, 2014's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models. The transformations underneath are plentiful: new front and rear cameras, faster processors and more memory, a stronger metal body and always-on Siri. But the biggest change is called 3D Touch: the touchscreen is now pressure-sensitive. 3D Touch's biggest use out of the box is a way to create app shortcuts. Press in on apps that work with 3D Touch, and they pop out a new little menu. Instead of just a single layer of pop-up interaction, you could have multiple layers.

WEEKENDS!!!

What do you do on the weekend. If you answer that and say “i stay in my bed watching netflix.” That's no fun i mean come on everyone looks forward to the weekend, but what exactly are you looking forward to? When you wake up Saturday morning tell yourself today is going to be fun and then change and get a great start to you day. Maybe go and have breakfast at IHOP or somewhere nice. Then go watch a movie or simply hang out with friends it nice to spend a day anywhere else but your bed. You can also tell your mom or dad that you would like to enjoy the day out of the house even if it is just the park or for a walk just make simple memories because you have one life and one life only don't waste spend it lying in bed doing nothing.

Today on September 25, 2015  at 4am near the gulf freeway, there was a drive by shooting that took a innocent 6 year old's life Moses Jimenez and an injured 11 year old Manuel Jimenez who is currently doing better and there's no need for surgery.They both attended Southmayd Elementary School. The father says probably one of the boys saw the shooter.Neighbor recorded so the police can see.Shooter drove away in  a green sedan.This is terrible hope they get the guy soon.

ZOEY 101

On September 18,2015 the most amazing news ever released came out on the creator of the show Zoey 101. In one of the episodes they put some of the most meaningful things into a time capsule.  They were not supposed to open it for 20 years. But in that episode Zoey told Chase he could see what she put in the time capsule in 10 years. Most fans went crazy now if you want to know what Zoey said then go on youtube and watch it.

Late Night Scene

   On September 19th at around 10pm, I saw the Neighbourhood perform 5 of my favorite songs LIVE with my Day 1. I was in the General Admission area which means standing for the whole concert, My feet started to hurt but it was alright, I had a front row view of the lead singer, Jesse. I was screaming because the way they performed was with so much energy.. Even if the crowd didn’t know every song, we still jammed out with the band. They had their own energy without any encouragement from the crowd. It’s powerful, meanful. Says alot about a band if they can jam out to their own music by themselves. If you have never heard of the Neighbourhood before, I would tell you to listen to Jealou$y & Sweater Weather.

General Motors will pay $900 Million to families of victims

     127 people have died from General Motors ignition flaws on many of the different vehicles manufactured. There has been 1,400 reports of flaws not only from the ignition, but in other parts of the vehicles. No individual will be criminally charged with the deaths, but the company will be, they will pay $900 million to the families from the victims of the flawed cars.

       Many of the families want someone or a group of people charged but that isn't the law. The company will only be fined for the flawed cars. General Motors had to recall 30 million vehicles due to the badly manufactured cars. Be safe when driving and if you suspect your vehicle is not running properly, get it checked, then fixed.

The Evolution of Music

            

            Music has been around for almost millions of years. Ever since ancient times, music been the pinnacle of human history. This is one of the things that makes us unique from anyone else. We all have different tastes in music. Rock, pop, hip hop, funk, soul, latino, classical, anything that defines us as a person. That's why through history music has evolved to many different incarnations. It all depends on what people want to hear. Example; some People were getting tired of orchestra music. So they came up with music that had a sort of beat to it. Thus’ the evolution of music had begun.

             

♒ Chile Earthquake.

---

At least five people were killed and 1 million evacuated from affected areas, when a powerful 8.3-magnitude earthquake struck Chile Wednesday(Sept. 16,2015). The victims included a 35-year-old woman who was killed by a falling roof, a 20-year-old woman who was killed by falling rocks and a man in his 80's who had a heart attack.  The quake's epicenter was about 54 kilometers (34 miles) west of Illapel. It occurred around 7:54 p.m. (6:54 p.m. ET) and had a depth of 33 kilometers (20.5 miles). Chile's national emergency agency issued a tsunami alert, ordering evacuations in coastal areas from Arica to Puerto Aysen. Large tsunami waves have been observed along the Chilean coast, near the quake's epicenter. In Coquimbo, Chile, a wave was measured at more than 15 feet. The city was starting to see flooding and 95% of the city had lost electrical power. Residents had evacuated before waves started hitting the coastline.

     Hungary - Croatia

In the capital Zagreb, riot officers surrounded a hotel housing hundreds of refugees started screaming “Freedom! Freedom!” Over the past 24 hours more than 6,000 new arrivals have entered Europe, the route of choice for those hoping to reach western Europe after Hungary sealed its southern frontier with Serbia. Helmeted riot police tried to control growing crowds of refugees at the Croatian border town of Tovarnik this morning. Overnight, Hungarian authorities positioned barbed wire and a new gate at the border where the clashes occurred, which one was at one of two border crossings near the Serbian village. The European Parliament today backed plans to relocate 120,000 refugees around Europe.

A drawing depicting Aylan with angel wings.

The image of 3 year old Aylan’s drowned corpse sparked controversy in the internet. Aylan and his family had been in a boat trying to immigrate to canada to escape war-torn Syria. Unfortunately the boat capsized and Aylan, his mother, and 5 year old brother,Galip,lost their lives. His father, Abdullah, survived but is deeply broken for the death of his wife and young sons. This comes to show the tragedies war can cause and we as people must unite to keep peace in this world. We should take a moment to mourn and honor young Aylan.
