INSPIRATION,

So one youtube channel led to another youtube channel which led to another so on and so forth.

& I just saw so far, 3 OF THE MOST WELL DIRECTED AND EDITED AMATEUR MUSIC VIDEOS EVER. I am not finished watching all of their videos yet but yes, so far, damn. I was freaking awe-strucked. All of the videos had a little story in it, with great meaning. I mean, the angles and everything I was freaking in love with the angles that they shot at. It wasn't some cruddy half-assed angles. THEY WERE GOOD SHOTS. Okay, so yeah. I have a thing for camera angles. If a video is shot at crappy angles, the whole video is crappy. No matter how pretty, or expensive or proffessional the quality of the video is. IF THEY HAVE CRAPPY ANGLES. IT'S CRAPPY. Unless it was an extremely funny video.

Funny things makes up for everything. I'm serious.

EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD LAUGH!

Anyways, the angles bring excitement and beauty to it all. The different points of views and everything.
It's just, wow. WOW. Yes, yes, yes. I seem to babbling on and on about angles.

Goodness gracious. I am so taking the film/video ROP class next year. I COULD'VE gotten it this year but I had a SPANISH 4th period and that class was only available 4th period. I could've switched out of the class but no.. I just HAD to stay in it because I had a lot of friends in it. But eh, I only mostly stayed in because Ngoc was in it. But then, SHE HAD TO MOVE OUT OF THAT CLASS because stupid people changed her scedule. GRR. But yeah, now I am stuck in Spanish 3. Ick. I want to drop out of that class next semester.

I also want to take a business ROP class too. I also want to take photography AND psychology as my electives. Grr... TOO MANY CLASSES I WANT TO TAKE!!!!! *____* I don't know what to choose though. AHHHHHHHHHHH.

Oh well, I'm pretty sure I am going to have a full 6th period scedule next year. BUT I DON'T MIND. What am I going to do at home EVEN IF I leave early? Well.. I could always go out and stuff. BUT, I'd rather stay inside school and take my electives. YAY I'M SUCH A SCHOOL GEEK! It's only for the super fun awesome electives though. JUST FOR THOSE.

OH! Back to my rant about film/video. I made a music video back in September for a whole day. I think it was on labor day. Or something. I thought it was pretty good. The only thing I hated about it and the sole reason why I don't want to put it out on the interwebz is because I AM in it. Ugh. GAHHH. I looked so horrible in it. Oh! And since I was extremely lazy I reused shots and clips like a lot because I didn't feel like shooting a whole lot of clips and editing and editing and editing it all. But I learned that for a good music video, IT CANNOT BE REPETIVE and you SHOULDN'T REUSE THE CLIPS unless, the scene depicts of a flash back or a quick super fast montage of clips.

Motion Sensor Activity,

*Warning : Very Narcisistic Post*

So we had to do this motion sensor activity in Phsyics. And we had to walk away from the sensore and stop and walk towards the censor and stop

My teacher Mr. J saw my graph and said the lines were really smooth and good because most of the other graphs have all these random squiggles in their lines and what not.

And said it was like "model walking smooth lines! It's amazing."

WOOOOOOT. I can walk smoothly like a model. Oh em gee. Best compliment to totally boost up my self esteem evAr. I always thought I was a bit clumsy but I guess notttttt! I can actually walk smoooooOOooOthly at times.

*___* I wish I was a model, then I would get FREE DESIGNER CLOTHES. And it's easy money! Kind of. Although the model community is competitive and intimidating. With all their skinny anorexic looking bodies. And clear complexion. Oh dear.

I SHALL BE SUPER TALL AND SUPER PRETTY AND HAVE A SUPER SMEXY BODY.

*sneaks into model industry*

Oh the wishful thinking~ ^^;

MAYBE IT WON'T BE SO WISHFUL IN THE FUTURE AND BECOME REALITY THINKING. ZOMG. YAY!

*manifest the mind; manifest the mind*

*law of attraction; law of attraction*

See how one random person can totally influence or inspire you to do something? Iono, maybe it's just me and how I am easy to be inspired. But hey, it works! And I love it.

School School,

This school year is going to be extremely easy and very fast.

I am going to ace everything and be extra productive.

THIS IS EXCITING!
I am in an extremely happy and giddy mood. I finished my Algebra II homework early!

Now, I am sitting in class waiting for our next lesson to start.

GO ME!!!

First day of school,

Was very GOOD!

Like what a good friend of mine told me "your interpretation of how bad something is is only as bad as how bad you describe it".

I told myself I would have a great day today. Even though I was clinging onto Alex's arm and whining and complaining when the morning bell rang for class.

But I told myself class wouldn't be bad.

I have friends in all of my classes. Except algebra II and Art. But I have aquaintances in those classes. I'll just have to get to know them better.

There was this girl in my Alg.II class that was in my Geometry class last year and I was debating whether to say hi or not to her. So I was like hrmm.. OH WELL TAMMIE. JUST DO IT. JUST DO IT. SAY SOMETHING. MAKE A FRIEND. So I turned around and *smiled* YOU WERE IN MY GEOMETRY CLASS LAST YEAR!! She smiled and then I turned around. It went well. Yes, excellent. Self-Confidence Boost +1 POINT!

I shall become closer with some people. Since I am NO LONGER AFRAID!!

FIGHT!!!! *pumps fist into air* Hecka yes.

I will slowly climb the ladder of SELF-CONFIDENCE.

I was sitting there in first period wondering how exactly people could have so much self-confidence. Was it all of the positive influences they had when they were small kids? Their really high self-esteem?

Something that happened that made them gain this high self-esteem?

It makes me wonder... I read in a magazine article a few years ago.
About how kids grow to have such high self-esteem and self-confidence. It was because as a child their parents were their positive and encouraging influences as they were growing. And their parents played and interacted with them often.

When I was a kid I never really had any of those because my parents were always busy working. They weren't much of encouraging and positive people either... But it's okay. I guess I can understand why. Now it's just up to me to change my self and way of thinking. SELF-IMPROVEMENT! YAY!

I was at Barnes and Noble today.
I went around to search for this self-help optimism positivity book thing that my friend had bought a few months ago. But I couldn't find it. So after awhile of searching around for other books I couldn't find any. So, I went downstairs and looked at the little mini book rack while waiting for my sister to pay for her book. Then I saw a little book that caught my eye,

"Ever tried. Ever failed.
No matter. TRY AGAIN.
FAIL AGAIN. FAIL BETTER."
a silver linings book

I was like OOOOH, this book looks very umm.. inspirational and motivating.
So I grabbed it and bought it. I just took a quick look inside of it just now and wow. Very VERY interesting stuff. Too bad it's a small tiny little book. It was filled with really interesting quotes from the successful people of this century and past century. I am not sure if it's just me or not, but I really do enjoy reading little quotes and absorbing them and apply them to my life. The positive ones of course. But seriously, a sentence can really have a HUGE IMPACT on me. Is that normal? Or am I just too sensitive and get influenced too easily?
Well, any way, at least I am easily influenced by GOOD AND BENEFICIAL things and not harmful things. So I guess it's a good thing!

Here are some quotes that I found VERY INTERESTING:

"You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." - Walt Disney.

Walt Disney went bankrupt. Several times.

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison experimented with over 6,000 materials to use as a filament in a light bulb before he found the one that worked.

"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
- Robert F. Kennedy

"Always do what you are afraid to do." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simple but meaningful quotes like these are like most of the positive influences in my life!
Thanks to all of the people who have struggled but continued on persevering and gaining themselves and their name enough success to have their quotes memorized and written down into books. (Did I even word that correctly? Well, you all get what I mean.)

I am going to continue building myself up. One step at a time.

Cheers to a new year of school.

I am having a feeling that this school year will go by EXTREMELY FAST.
And so will the next year but even faster.

Soon, we will all be in college and soon after wards pursuing our careers and accomplishing our dreams.

Everything will come by sooner than we'd all think.
