Block B support! BBCs unite!

I realize that I have not written in a while, but for now I will put that to the side. I was going to start a fresh in March but recently I have come across something that is too important!I even made a petition for it!

If you follow the k-pop world you may know that recently Block B has gotten into a bit of a scandal. They were doing an interview where they were asked about the current state that Thailand is in after the flooding there. The way that Block B behaved seems to have offended many Thai people and some Koreans are saying it is shameful. However, what they did was not extreme and they meant no disrespect or harm with their actions. After this happened Block B realized that it was hurtful to some people and has extended a full apology. Not only that but just yesterday it was reported that the youngest member of Block B,  PO, was hospitalized due to health issues caused by the pressure that netizens have created. Netizens have made a petition for them to be disbanded and for them to kill themselves. These people who think of themselves highly who would never offend someone because they are civilized...where is the civilization in that! Then to top it off not only the boys but their families have been targeted as well! That is wrong and inhumane! No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. Block B can learn fro this experience and move on! It is time for those who have been offended to be mature about the issue and move on with their lives!

This is the interview (where I found nothing offensive really but through another persons eyes  might see why):

This is their apology video:

BBCs (the preferred name that the Block B fan-base uses for themselves) must stand together and show Block B that we support them and that we love them! Lets cheer Block B up!

Spirit Week in School

My school is having Spirit Week!!! Yay! I am having so much fun! Monday was Pajama Day, so I wore my blue, plaid pajama bottoms with a regular everyday shirt. Yesterday was Middle School representation Day, but I threw away my eighth grade trip shirt last year...NOOOOOOOOO! I was so sad! Then me and my friend decided that we would be a pair for Twin Day today; however, that plan was quickly flushed down the toilet when we realized we couldn't find anything that matched! We looked and looked! We ransacked our entire closet and then we failed miserably! I remember last year me and my friend wore Stickers on our shirts that said "My twin is _____". *sniffle* Good times...Tomorrow is Crazy hat day and Friday is Wacky Tacky Day, when you wear things that don't match. Tomorrow I am going to wear a hat that looks like the pants Patrick for SpongeBob SquarePants wears. I shall not miss another spirit Day eveeeerrrr! *she says with a dramatic echo*.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

The Blurb/back of the book/summary (from the book jacket):

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.

Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met.  As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

My Review of the book:

There is no single word that can fully describe this book! Stephenie Meyer created a completely new world! She moved away from the rainy town of Forks, Washington and set the story in the simmering hot Arizona desert. What is unique about this story is that while the planet was taken by the "aliens" they aren't really aliens per say, they are souls that look like beautiful silver feather looking worm-like creatures. They surgically insert themselves into the back of someones head right at the base of the neck and they take control over the body. Some human minds are able to stay awake and not fade while others are unable to, a lot depends on awareness.

The Host is not about taking the planet back because they know there aren’t enough of them to do it but mostly about surviving and about relationships. I found this book very hard to put down because it’s not a predictable story line at all. I never knew exactly what was going to happen. I think that largely contributes to the book being so great because if you have read many books that are similar then you know what is going to happen already; I give it two thumbs up on originality. I also love the way it was written, the style contributes largely as you are able to understand a lot because of the point of view Meyer took. Instead of looking at the storyline from Melanie’s view as she is the human and we would be able to relate more to her, she decided to look at everything from the point of view of Wanderer, the invading soul.

I loved this book and I know many people who agree. I hope that after reading this perhaps you will give The Host a chance and read it and love it as well! I cannot wait until the movie comes out! I think it comes ut in 2013! Hurry up, so we fans can watch it!!!!

My day leading up to International Night!

Today was such a good day! It started out crazy (like it is for anyone who takes the train in the morning in New York), like is sometimes true for me I just caught my train as I was going up the stairs of the train station and had to catch it all the way at the back. I had to run to make my transfer, but I had tons of bags because my performance was later that day. I thought I was going to be late because there was a delay; however, as is common during the winter I SOMEHOW got there with more than enough time (which never happens during the summer...one more thing to add to why I don't like summer too much). Well, moving on...while in my Global History class he brought in a coffee maker and someone asked "What is that for?" (Can anyone say, the awkward moment when everyone stares at one person for asking about the most obvious thing ever). I would think they are used to make coffee, but I could be wrong, I am not too sure *sarcasm*. Then he told us he brought it so we could use it when we wanted to...is that even allowed...? Anyways, he moved on to say "I brought this but you can only use it if you find your own cups, if you want sugar or anything else you are going to get it for yourself too." So during our five minute break between our double period me and my friends raced around the school looking for cups and sugar...we ended up finding both after racing around in circle...by the time we got back to the class room we didn't even need the sugar since we were now wide awake. The rest of my day was normal until lunch when we went down and did each others hair and make up so that we would be ready for the show after school. I then went to Physics Lab, my favorite class...I am a nerd. I am a BARDIAN (the dictionary definition for this is some one who studies in BARD High School Early College in Queens). After we ran to the girls looker room and crazed around like headless chickens getting ready for the all the performances. When I was up I was happy that I had worked so hard and I was able to "execute the dance magnificently" (in the words of my friend). However, I was so nervous that the smile on my face was making my top lip twitch (the audience couldn't tell, thank goodness). I enjoyed performing and being able to share my hard work so much that I plan to do the talent show this year and do both thing again next year as well!

P.S. I finished The Host and will be putting up the review this weekend!

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

This is the trailer for the movie.

I like Twilight and then there are some things that I don't like about it. One of the problems that Twilight has is that I am much more interested in the supporting characters than I am in the main characters. I feel as if Bella doesn't change mentally ever, her character never grows except for at the very end of Breaking Dawn where she is a mom and thus becomes protective of her child, but her mentality never changes. I feel like all the other characters (because we get to see their pasts) they do grow and change mentally.

WARNING!: After this there may be slight spoilers!

I just saw Twilight: Breaking dawn Part 1 yesterday, and I must say I am really pleased with how they filmed everything to do with the baby. It was just amazing how they made Bella look so physically broken! I loved how they show the baby breaking her (literally...there was one part where I was just thinking, 'Is it possible to bend like that?'). One thing that bothered me was that in the book Rosalie had always wanted a child so she is very protective of Reneesme, but in the movie she seemed like a psychopath (one of those mom's that is obsessive and controlling and such).

I love when I can go to the movies and the audience all laughs, awww's and ooh's at the same exact time and I feel like this is one of those movies that does that well. There is a part where Edward breaks the head board of the bed and that was just funny, it was too much!

WARNING!: This next sentence is an extreme spoiler! (Skip over it if you want)

I LOVE the way it ended; with her eyes opening (they were red), and how they show the transformation from human to vampire.

I am looking forward to seeing the second part because of the Volturi; I really want to see how they are going to show the fight between them and the Cullens and shifters. I really loved how they showed the tension of keeping the treaty in this movie and I hope it turns out good in the next movie!

International Night at School

There will be an International Night is my school towards the beginning of December and I will be in it. Yay? Honestly I am a little nervous DESPITE the fact that we have been practicing every weekday after school for an hour and a half. But another thing is that I am very excited because I have worked so hard for this goal. This is going to sound cliche but to be truthful it is a group effort. All eight of us which includes me have been so supportive of each other; whenever one of us didn't understand how to do a certain move in the dance then someone was always there ready to explain it in the simplest way possible. The fact that it is a Bollywood style dance makes it something very knew to me, so when my friend asked me about it I jumped on the chance since I have always liked Bollywood...to me the people who dance it must have great control and they always look so nice doing the moves! As it nears I become more and more happy that it's me and a bunch of friends doing the dance and I don't have to do this with strangers. If I tape the dance (aka if my mom tapes it, I should say...)  then I will post it here. My friend is letting me borrow her blue salwar kameez (traditional Indian clothing and you would not believe how LONG it took me to learn how to say this with the right accent! I had to ask my friend to repeat it about 100 times!). I am just a bit nervous since I am all the way in the front...I hope this turn out well. I can already see myself having a Lizzie McGuire moment where I trip on something that should be impossible to trip over and take the whole stage down with me!

 This is sort of what it looks like except it has short sleeves and is a little darker blue, but other than that the bottom and neckline and shawl are all the same!


Author's Note: I love "The Host" so far the development of the story keeps you on your toes!
Second Author's Note: I have become obsessed with the music composer Yiruma! His piano compositions are beautiful and really capture the essence of feeling and the actual instrument. I recommend that you see what he is all about on Youtube!

Music

I am slowly (oh so very slowly) but surely (I'm not that sure?) getting more computer savvy! Sort of...
Well to start off I learned how to put a Music Player on my tumblr. I tried to do it here as well but I am not THAT savvy and so it was a failed experiment. If you want to get a sense of what I like to listen to on my free time then you can go there. I have up beat songs, sweet songs, sad songs, instrumentals (mostly piano compositions by Yiruma), etc. I hope you enjoy and get to see about music from other places as well as just music that is common to everyone too. Some of the songs are by the Korean Pop groups I mentioned a really long time ago. My tumblr is still the same : http://musenymphnews2.tumblr.com/

As a COMPLETE side note that has absolutely NOTHING to do with this I wanted to mention the I am currently reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer and when I finish I will be doing a brief summary and review of what I thought of it! I am going to be reading a book of short scary stories by Edgar Allen Poe (awesome writer!) after and will probably do the same thing for my favorite story out of all of them and MAYBE my least favorite story out of all of them. So look forward to it!
