Day 14-Vampire Sucks Movie Review

Heyo everyone!
Today, I decided to do task #27 from my "50 Things To Do When Bored" list, which is go to a Movie Theater. It was quite a good day might I add as well! I spent it with my two best friends, Isabelle and Joni, and we went to see the movie, Vampires Suck, and went window shopping afterwards! :)
Have you heard of the movie, Vampires Suck? If you haven't, I would watch their trailers on Youtube. They are quite hilarious! :D
I have decided to give you a little inside about the movie that I saw today. A little "review" I might call it. 
Overall, it was a good movie. It was funny, got the audience laughing, and was very capable of making fun of the Twilight Saga Movies and even some other popular and annoying frenzies of this time. The actors played their characters well too, which was different from the Twilight movies. However, I felt that the movie was a bit fake and unprofessional. The stunts looked too fake, and the movie seemed unorganized since the plot didn't flow very well. That being said, it was nice to have the plot changed up a bit from the Twilight Movies. They changed the scrip, and that felt good to watch something different, not exactly expecting Twilight's outcome. 
I would not go and watch this movie again. Too me, it is a one-time-watch movie. However, if you are in the mood for a funny movie, have friends along, $10, and aren't a huge fan of Twilight (or are, like me), I say, go watch the movie. Although, it isn't as good as Avatar, it will improve a boring afternoon!
take care, and keep watching/reading for more adventures! thanks.

I Say, Keep on Painting, or Keep on Goin'! :)

Hola!
I hope life is good for you all. I'm doing well!
Today, I decided to complete #15 from my list, Paint my nails. It was a nice, easy, fast task that I enjoyed doing for a little while with a good friend of mine, Erin. It kept us busy while we watched the movie, 500 Days of Summer (which btw, is a cute movie to watch!). I painted my nails a dark red--I'm going for a vampire look! Haha, just kidding.
By the way, this makes me think...Is it just me, or is there a vampire frenzy going on at this time in our lives? Do you see vampire this and that, a lot? Because, I do. Haha.
Enjoying the end of summer. I hope you are too.
I got miles to go on this blog, but it's all good with me, and I'm enjoying it!
Take care. 

Day 12 is Goodnight and Done!

Good morning! A little late from yesterdays post, but here I am now to talk about Day 12! :)
I am a bit sleepy at the moment...wait! Why am I awake right now?? It is 12:30 P.M...
Well, let me tell you! I did #20 from my list yesterday,  wake up at 4 A.M. It isn't that I exactly wanted to wake up at such an early time, but I had to, and it was convenient for my blog. 
Coming home from vacation can be tiring and well, time consuming, and I was coming home from vacation! But, no more waking up at 4 A.M. for a while! :)
I must say though, waking up early makes me appreciate sleep more! Sometimes I still wish I had nap time like I did in preschool. :) Hehe.
Night!

Read on...!

Hey!
I hope everyone is enjoying their week! I have so far!
Today I had a great opportunity to do a favorite task on my list...#14 which involved me Reading a book from my childhood. 
This might sound kind of boring. Yes? No? However, I don't think so!
Every now and then I have these flashbacks of books that I read when I was younger, and I love reminding myself of the amazing assortments of books and stories I was read by my parents, and such that, gave me the idea to add that onto my list. My Dad is the same way! Just today actually, he was talking to me about one of his favorite writers that he read to me frequently as a child, and that was Richard Scarry. It was nice to be reminded of being a kid again. :)
Back to today though!...
I was lucky enough to visit the famous Powell's Book Store in OR. I learned today that is (probably) the largest used and new book store in the US! Wow! And large it is! But amazing too! If you ever get the chance to check out Portland, go there!
Anyway, I decided to look through some of their children's books. It brought back memories, and a few tears. (yes tears, haha)
One of my favorite childhood stories is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. I remember one of the first times I read the book...it was with my grandma and all I remember is crying at the end because I loved how sweet it was. (at 4 years old?! hahaha, however, it still does) I decided to pick it up once again today and read it. And, of course, I cried in the end. I love The Giving Tree because it is a kind story that shows the stages of life and what happens in life as we get older. It reminds me that life is short, but full of love and care. 
I am glad I picked up that book today. It feels good to remember a part of my childhood. I suggest the next time you are at a book store or library, you do the same. :)
Happy reading!
anya

Day 10 is Done!

Day 10 is complete! Which means that I have officially done 1/5 of my blog adventure! Yay!
Anyway, today I decided to do #44 from my "50 Things To Do When Bored" list. (which btw, if you weren't sure, is the reason for this blog...read my posts from earlier for more info!) The task I did today was to tell Someone "I love you." I have to say, that was not a hard task for me at all.
I try to tell my family and friends how much they mean to me, and how important they are to me as much as possible. I don't know what I would do without the people in my life. They fill my life with love, hope, happiness, courage, oh the list continues forever! 
However, these feelings got me thinking...and I must ask you a question...
When was the last time you told someone important or special in your life how much they meant to you? If you can't remember, let's just say that maybe you should tell them how much they mean to you. How about  starting with "Thank you for fulling my life with...I want to thank you for everything you have done for me, how you have been there for me, etc." But! Don't forget to say how much you love them. I have seen too many people take advantage of this and they end up loosing the important people in their life. Family and friends are a part of me, and I want that for you. 
However, this is just something to think about...Live your life how it makes you happy, and however that might be, is good. 
Just remember though, saying "I love you" will make a difference. It will not only make the receiver feel loved and accepted themselves, but you as well. 
Take care and good luck.
I have a whole lot more love to share to come! Read on...............................!

Waves of Fun!

Konichiwa! Ogenkidesuka? 
If you weren't sure, I just said hello, and asked you how you were. :)
I had one of the best days today! I decided to do #42 from my list which is Spend a few hours outdoors, and like I said on my list, it really does wonders! 
Today, my family and I decided to go on a Kayak tour. We had a great time being out on the open water, and kayaking along the shore looking at the sea life and boats. It was a much different view on water than on land, and we had a blast being on the water and exploring. Maybe I will post a photo or two in the future... :)
I say, if you are ever by the ocean, go on a kayak tour with someone special to you. You will have fun looking at the scenery, and will get your arms working and wet!
I will definitely go kayaking with my family once again in the future!
I am almost at Day 10--I have completed the first 9 days of the Blogging Adventures, and I have waves to go from here... :)
Thanks!~

Let's Get Cookin'!

Hola!
I have finished my eighth day of my "50 Things To Do When Bored" and so far I have enjoyed it. :) Although maintaining a blog might be harder than I thought, I enjoy it nonetheless!
For my 8th day, I decided to choose #46 from my list, Make Dinner for someone, and not only did I participate in this, but my brother decided to join too! 
I make dinner for my family a lot, and especially when I have extra time. It depends on the evening, but I might make Enchiladas, Halibut, Chicken, etc.
I thought today was extra special for this task though. My brother joined in which was great, and I decided to barbeque. I made herb-crusted, barbeque chicken with a large salad with carrots, tomatoes, avocados, and a homemade olive-oil dressing. My brother decided to make yummy nachos with cheese, guacamole, and beans! It was such a yummy meal, and my parents were glad that we each got a hand in the dinner. :)
I love cooking, and I say, if you are ever thinking of making a meal for your family, do it! It might inspire you to get into the kitchen more, and it will sure make your family happy!
I have a lot more cooking and excitement to come with this blog! :)
