Yes, I realize I just posted something around this time last night. Trust me, this isn't gonna be a regular thing...at least...I hope it won't be...
Anyways, I just wanna make y'all aware of some changes that I made to the blog. I realize some of you are just interested in my posts more than in my life or whatever. I encourage you, though, to at least check out the "About Me" page. It's the tab that says "About Me" right next to the "Posts" tab.
But there are some of you who are "blog explorers" who check out every page on a blog, and I wanna thank you for that! Bloggers seriously appreciate it!
Well, if you've already checked out my "About Me" page, I've added 2 more pages! SO EXCITING, right? :D
The first new page is called "People Frequently Mentioned." Ever randomly pick out one of my blog posts, read a name in it, and wonder, "Who the heck is she talking about?" Or maybe you've been actively reading every one of my posts and you keep seeing one name appear in almost every post and, despite my attempts at explaining, you still don't get who this person is and why he/she is important to the post and to my life. Well, your questions are answered in this very page.
*Here's where I ask for your cooperation on this page...
Right now, I only have 5 mini-bios of frequently mentioned people or "PFMs". If there's name that you've seen frequently in my posts that I didn't put on this page, please comment their name below and I'll make sure to add their name and a mini-bio of them in the PFM page! Don't be shy...if you wanna know who someone is, say something! (^^)
The second new page is titled "Blog and Youtube Links." I've mentioned a few friends having blogs or Youtube channels in some of my posts, and I've attached the links to them in those posts. Well, not everyone reads those exact posts with the links in them, so I created a separate page that has all of my friends' blogs and Youtube channel links on it.
*Here's where I ask for your cooperation again...
If you enjoy reading my blog, I ask that you please try to read some of my friends' blogs as well. I actually think the majority of that page is blog links. My best friend, my roomie, and other great friends of mine have thoughts about ALL SORTS of topics in this world! They are great writers, and I encourage you to, not just check out their blogs, but to follow and comment on them if you liked what they wrote or if you have questions. Bloggers, such as myself, really appreciate active followers and comments on our posts! :)
There is one Youtube channel link, and that's Caylin's channel. I ask that you listen to her covers of pop songs and her original songs and give her your feedback! Please, comment what you thought about her videos and her singing! She appreciates the feedback as well!
I'm really excited about these new pages! Maybe that's just me, but that's okay! LOL
I hope you all enjoy them too and I hope you enjoy reading more about the people in my life, through my mini-bios and through their own blogs and videos! :)
Okay, going to be now. Almost 3am... :P
LOVE Y'ALL!

Grateful
It's about 2am in good ole California, but after reading Bria's blog post tonight about "Spontaneity," I just HAD to write a blog post too haha. (BTW, my bestie Bria now has a BLOG called "Sporadicalness"! You should definitely check it out! Just click HERE!)
But anyways, back to the subject at hand...
I am just so grateful.
Bria and I have been texting back and forth these past few weeks since I've been out of town, and we've talked about all sorts of things. But we both agreed that we're just SO EXCITED about this time in our lives, where lots of things are just going great. Not everything, mind you, but LOTS OF THINGS! (^^)
Summertime, getting jobs, having best friends, and great KPOP bands having comebacks were just a few awesome things that we were excited about. Seriously, I am just so PUMPED about ALMOST EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. God has given me so much that I'm grateful for.
Today was just perfect. I recently started learning how to crochet, but got frustrated the first time I attempted it. But today, I picked up that yarn and that J hook, pulled up Youtube, and roughly got through about 5-6 steps on how to make this beanie. And I am so grateful for that!
My cousin Tyler and his fiancee Dani came over and we just sat outside talking as Tyler shot soda cans, water bottles, and this target that my aunt drew on a piece of wood. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold.
And we ended the day with a great fire and s'mores! :) One of the best summer treats EVER!
Did I mention that I was grateful? LOL
God has just given me so much every day, and rarely do I ever give thanks for it. He's given me a great family, one that spreads across from coast-to-coast; great friends, who sprinkle throughout the country; a great school to go to; awesome clothes to wear; other great material possessions; salvation through His Son's death...there's just so much to name that my brain can't even process it all this late at night :P
But yeah...I'm just grateful. And I encourage you to take some time out of your day to stop listening to music, watching TV, or whatever you usually do during the summer and just sit in silence and think about how much God has given you. And to tell Him, "Thank You, Lord."
I'm sure there are some of y'all who are hurting right now, some who have actually lost some thing or someone dear to them. But despite your loss, I know that there are things that God has blessed you with that maybe some people don't have on a day-to-day basis. I understand, there are things you wish for, hope for...but maybe it's time to thank God for the things and people you do have right now; the things and people that could be taken away from you at any second.
Just a late-night thought. I'm hoping it make sense because, despite my proofreading this before I post it, it's still 2am, and I am TIRED.
I'm praying for you all! Hope you're enjoying your summer so far!!! (^^)
LOVE Y'ALL!

*KPOP: The Reactions I Get
Wow. I haven't put up a post about KPOP in a while. Some of you probably thought of it as a relief. Others might have been disappointed.
Don't worry, I'm not going to let y'all suffer through many posts of KPOP just to catch up. That'd be asking too much of you! :D But I'm still writing at least one post about it...maybe two...so, here goes...
You know I love KPOP...
During the school year, I had UKISS and 2PM posters and other posters of KPOP I drew over the summer on my wall in my dorm room. My desk was decorated with UKISS and 2PM albums (mostly UKISS). I've got tons of KPOP artists on my iPod and, if I'm bored, you might see me with my laptop watching KPOP MVs. Heck, my laptop and cell phone backgrounds are covered in KPOP bands! (^^) There are so many KPOP groups out there!!! So many to listen to, to fangirl over haha!
You ever wonder what reactions I get when people see the posters, the albums, the Korean letters on my iPod, the MVs I watch? LOL, really, the reactions vary...
Am I saying that you have to watch every single MV and interview by a KPOP artist; buy all their albums, posters, and t-shirts; and stand on the Overlook and scream, "I LOVE KPOP!!!"? Of course not.
Just don't let me hear you say that you listen to KPOP and I look at your iPod and only see Psy in your artists. Let me see some UKISS, B.A.P, Super Junior, 2PM, and SHINee! Better yet, lemme see a KPOP artist I don't even listen to so I can hear you talk about it! Don't let me be the only one talking about it!
*Takes a deep breath* *Steps off of soap box*
Am I truly angry at the people who say that? No, of course not. Just disappointed that you don't know so much about KPOP than I thought you did. But we can quickly change that! :D I'm seriously gonna try to review more KPOP albums and artists, and comebacks that happen when they happen. Sorry to those who aren't crazy about KPOP. :/
If KPOP isn't your cup of tea, that's totally fine. I don't plot revenge on those who say that KPOP sucks. I'm not here to start a KPOP revolution, I'm just here to share what I love with you all, and the humor that comes along with it.
Haha, have a great day or night, wherever you are! Thanks for reading my KPOP rant! Y'all are troopers! :)
Love y'all!

For Example...
The question of what type of music one listens to always comes up in a conversation, whether it's the first time meeting someone or someone approaches you while you're wearing your headphones and he's wondering what you're listening to.
So let me set the stage for you. Let's say I'm in the library working on math homework, my giant blue headphones blaring "Stop Girl" by UKISS into my ears. Someone I kind of know walks up to me to say hi, and we talk for a bit about our day or how busy we are.
"What are you listening to?" the person asks, once there's really nothing else to talk about.
I put on a smile (and usually it's a, "Oh no, here we go again..." smile) and say, "KPOP."
I get several reactions...
A. The person nods his head in that "Well, everyone has different tastes" way and proceeds to walk away while saying, "Oh.", "Fun.", "Hmm.", or sometimes "Awesome!" (but really, he's thinking in his head, "Abort! Abort! Say something, smile, and walk away!")
B. The person scrunches his face and asks, "What's KPOP?!" and I proceed to tell them what it is, maybe by showing him some MVs. And either...
1. ...it grows on him, even if he is a little confused about the things that are happening or what the people are wearing and he asks what my favorite groups are and is actually considering checking it out
2. ... he gets even more weirded out and walks away as fast as he can. And I most likely might not have contact with that person ever again (maybe because he tries to avoid me? who knows LOL...)
C. The person scrunches his face, but this time to say, "Blech, KPOP sucks! "
D. The person smiles and says excitedly, "Oh my gosh, I LOVE KPOP!" and we proceed to talk about our fave groups, the latest gossip about the groups, which MVs are better than others, etc., etc., etc.
Rarely does reaction D happen. Thankfully, there are girls on my hall who love KPOP too, so I can talk to them about it. And my roomie has gotten used to listening to my KPOP playlist enough to kind of hum some of the songs. Not to mention I actually got a guy friend of mine who usually listens to hard rock music to like it (imagine that!)
All I ask of you is this: please PLEASE don't say you listen to KPOP when all you've ever listened to is "Gangnam Style" or "Gentleman" by Psy. Psy is KPOP, yes, but he isn't all there is to KPOP.
Am I saying that you have to watch every single MV and interview by a KPOP artist; buy all their albums, posters, and t-shirts; and stand on the Overlook and scream, "I LOVE KPOP!!!"? Of course not.
Just don't let me hear you say that you listen to KPOP and I look at your iPod and only see Psy in your artists. Let me see some UKISS, B.A.P, Super Junior, 2PM, and SHINee!
