November's Quote and Song of the month

Hey Peoplz,
I'm sorry I haven't done this in awhile, there has just been TONS of stuff going on. So without further ado, this month's quote and song:

"To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing."

Aristotle.

Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5ArpRWcGe0&feature

There's a place that i know

it's not pretty there and few have ever goneif i show it to you nowwill it make you run away

or will you stayeven if it hurtseven if i try to push you outwill you return?and remind me who i really amplease remind me who i really am

everybody's got a dark sidedo you love me?can you love mine?nobody's a picture perfectbut we're worth ityou know that we're worth itwill you love me?even with my dark side?

like a diamondfrom black dustit's hard to knowwhat can becomeIf you give upso don't give up on meplease remind me who i really am

everybody's got a dark sidedo you love me?can you love mine?nobody's a picture perfectbut we're worth ityou know that we're worth itwill you love me?even with my dark side?

don't run awaydon't run awayjust tell me that you will staypromise me you will staydon't run awaydon't run awayjust promise me you will staypromise me you will stay

will you love me? ohh

everybody's got a dark sidedo you love me?can you love mine?nobody's a picture perfectbut we're worth ityou know that we're worth itwill you love me?even with my dark side?

I'd like to explain what this month's quote and song means to me.

Dark Side, is just an amazing song. Kelly Clarkson is an amazing singer and she's got some songs that cut deep into me, they're just amazing. This song says exactly what it means. Nobody's picture perfect, all we can do is strive to be perfect, but none of us will totally make it in one day, month, year, decade, or century. But we're each worth more than we think. Way more. Even though none of us is totally perfect, in the eye's of the lord, we're worth much much much more than what we think and what everyone around us tells us.

This quote was given as an assignment in English, he had us copy down the quote then write an at least one page long narrative on what it means to us. And now I love it. This quote basically means that each and every one of us will be criticized at least once in our life. It may be positive criticism, but it may also be negative criticism. This quote means that if we can't handle Any kind of criticism in our life, then we should just give up, not do anything with our lives, do nothing with our lives. We all have to be able to stand criticism if we're to succeed in our missions in life.

I hope that you like this month's quote and song, because I love both the quote and the song.

Love Ya!

Hey!

Hey Everyone!!!
I hope that there are still people following my blog, even though I haven't posted anything in a long time :D
Here are some updates on the crazy road that i'm going on, also called life :P

I started Meadow Valley Middle School Full Time,

I met lots of awesome people,

I moved BACK to the states,

I attended my first MVMS Pride Trip* and had a BLAST!!

I learned a ton of stuff!

That's basically it :P

* For everyone who doesn't live in Lincoln County, the Pride Trip is a kind of field trip that they have at the end of each quarter and everyone who has enough Pride Points and wants to can go. We went to Laser Mania over in Saint George for this one, next we're going skiing (i don't know where, will have to ask a friend about that)

I have a thing that I (hope) will be able to do, my english teacher gives us these AMAZING quotes in english that we have to write a one page narrative on them. I will be posting the quotes on here once a week and explaining them, well giving you my explanation of them more like :)

And I changed the title of my blog, seeing as the old wasn't suitable for where I am now. So the new blog title is:

My Adventures.

that way it spans all of my crazy things :D

Love ya!

             Anne B.

Big News Peoplz!!!

July's Song and quote of the month!!!

Hey Peoplz!!
Sooo you all must want to know what this month's song and quote of the month is.
The song:

Just a Dream,

By Carrie Underwood.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=1&v=HZwR_nZmxmQ

It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah

And the Quote:

"We Believe in ordinary acts of bravery, 

in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another." 

-Dauntless Manifesto, Divergent by Veronica Roth.

 Soo,
hope you liked this month's song and quote. By the way I watched the music video for the song, and it was really sad. And if you want to find this month's quote read Divergent by Veronica Roth, it is a pretty good book too.
See YA!!!

The Hunger Games.

Hey Peoplz!
So for those who don't know, me, Ema, and a couple other friends got to go see The Hunger Games in the theater. This is what I thought of it.
It was really good, but I have to confess, I didn't remember much of it the next morning. Mainly because we had to catch the 9:00 pm showing :-/ so the movie didn't end until quarter after 11-11:30ish. It was also rushed. Like they didn't have enough time so they needed to skip a part so they could finish the movie. But over all it was a really good movie, even if it was a bit graphic. Definitely not a movie for kids under than 10. Kids 10 and up can watch it, but only with adults watching it too, that's just my recommendation, you don't have to do what I recommend. I will post more about that night, but for now, I should go now,
SEE YA!!!

Battlefield,

By Jordin Sparks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suPlYwJ3YvM

 Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love and suddenly
It's like a battle-field
One word turns into a
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you don't
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now

Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
(repeat)
Why does love always feel like

Can't swallow our pride,
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender
then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no
Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
(nothing)
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again

I don't wanna fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
battlefield (battlefield)
battlefield (battlefield)
(repeat)
Why does love always feel like

You better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends tonight
And in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright
Cause baby we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like

A battlefield (oh) a battlefield (oh) a battlefield,
Why does love always feel like a battlefield (oh)
a battlefield (oh) a battlefield

I guess you better go and get your armor
I never meant to start a war (start a war)
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(fighting, fighting for)

Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)

Why does love always feel like

You better go and get your armor

Destiny by Play.

HEY PEOPLZ!!!!

SOooo I was going to save this song for later, but, I just looove it so I decided to post it now.

This song is the theme song for the Disney Channel movie Avalon High, based off the book by Meg Cabot. I have read the book at watched the movie. They are both AWESOME!!!! I liked the movie as much as I liked the book. Course I watched the movie before I read the book, so that's probably why :P Anyway here are the lyrics:

Destiny,

By Play.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVfgqdlAuwU

In the dream you're on a ledge
underneath you lie your hopes for tomorrow
to get over this edge
you need a leap of faith

you waited long enough
got it out and now its time to embrace it
show what your made of
its in your hands your chance to take it

destiny's everything your made of
hiding behind what your most afraid of
destiny gives you the strength to stand your ground
and you cant get lost here
destiny 
your destiny 
destiny
you cant get lost
destiny 
your destiny 
destiny

i was so terrified
then realized on this journey
no matter where it leads
you'll get a chance 
take it

destiny's everything your made of
hiding behind what your most afraid of
destiny gives you the strength to stand your ground
my destiny is found

when you run around in circles
to find where you've been
but the far away that you can turn
opens your hand
no matter what just take control 
because when your gone nobody knows
its your destiny

destiny's everything your made of
hiding behind what your most afraid of
destiny gives you the strength to stand your ground
your destiny is found

destiny's everything your made of
hiding behind what your most afraid of
destiny gives you the strength to stand your ground
your destiny is found

my destiny is found 

I just absolutely love this song! And it is true, if you know or partially know your destiny you are stronger. 
That is all I have to say, only that this song is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Oh And HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!
SEE YA!!!!

No Bake Cookies.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup milk,

1 cube butter,

2 cups sugar,

1/3 cup cocoa,

3 1/2 cup oats,

1/2 cup peanut butter.

This recipe comes in 3 easy steps.

1.

Bring all the ingredients except for the oats 

and peanut butter to a boil on the stove.

Then combine the boiled mixture with the rest of

the ingredients in a big metal bowl.

2.

Use either 2 big spoons or one of those

fancy dough scoopers that looks like 

ice cream scoopers to scoop 

the batter onto pans then put in the freezer 

for 1 hour to 1 1/2.

And here comes my favorite part:

3.

Take them out of the freezer and ENJOY!!!!

This is Home, By Switchfoot.

Hey Peoplz!!
So this song has always been one of my absolute faves. And since I haven't blogged in forever, I decided that I should do a blog post about this song.

This is home.

By Switchfoot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwa8-3GXbuE

I've got my memories

Always inside of me

But I can't go back

Back to how it was

I believe you now

I've come too far

No I can't go back

Back to how it was

Created for a place I've never known

This is home

Now I'm finally where I belong

Where I Belong

Yeah, this is home

I've been searching for a place of my own

Now I've found it

Maybe this is home

This is home

Belief over misery

I've seen the enemy

And I won't go back

Back to how it was

And I got my heart set on what happens next

I got my eyes wide it's not over yet

We are miracles and we're not alone

This is home

Now I'm finally where I belong

Where I Belong

Yeah, this is homeI've been searching for a place of my ownNow I've found itMaybe this is homeThis is home

And now after all my searching

After all my questions

I'm gonna call it home

I've got a brand new mindset

I can finally see the sunset

I'm gonna call it home

This is home

Now I'm finally where I belong

Where I Belong

Yeah, this is homeI've been searching for a place of my ownNow I've found itMaybe this is homeThis is home

Now I know

Yeah, this is home

I've come too far

And I won't go back

Yeah, this is home

Like I said, this is one of my fave songs. And it is important that we keep 'Belief over Misery.' When we are going through hard times, we need to focus on our the good things about the situation and ignore the misery in the situation.

See YA!!!!

                  Anne B.

                  Anne B.

Blog.

Hey Peoplz!!!

Sooo Today I decided to post a blog on what has been going on in my life since I left the states for the first time. There is a TON of stuff that has happened since we left and I am not kidding.

This last October I was able to go to girls camp, again. :D

Sometime December I made my own pj pants.

I met tons of people, from all over the world.

I am now the 2nd counselor in the Beehives class presidency.

I rode on the subway, for the first time with my family and without,

I discovered the wonders of Tumblr.com.
Me, Ema, Mom, and Dad got new glasses
(more about that in the next post!)

Mosquitoes have officially become ANNOYING!!!

Well, that is all that I can think of for now.

SEE YA!!!

Stronger by Kelly Clarkson.

Hey Peoplz!!!
So This song is a really good one, I heard the actual song after I listened to the cover of it by Cimorelli, but I suggest you listen to that cover, instead of the original. It is WAY better than the original!

Stronger (what doesn't kill you)

By Kelly Clarkson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OJZAmRFWEk

You know my life is better
Standing here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me
But you see...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

The lyrics down here are what Cimorelli sang, and I personally like them better. They only change the first part though, which is good :) I really like this song because it is true. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. When something that you had expected to kill you doesn't, then you gain so many great qualities that without going through that, you wouldn't have.

SEE YA!!!

Who I am. By David Archuleta.

Hey Peoplz :D
Soo This is one of my faves from David Archuleta's album, the other side of down. I don't have a link to a youtube video, usually I do, but not this time. Here are the lyrics:

Who I am.

By David Archuleta.

Been Two Hours In A Taxi Cab,
I'm Just Driving Around And I'm Running A Tab,
But It Doesn't Really Matter No, I'm Not Getting Mad,
It's Ok, 'cause I Know Where I'm Going,

Out The Window, Everybody's On The Phone,
At The Lights Are On, And They're All In The Zone,
Gotta Take A Step Back From My New Ringtone,
I Don't Care If Your Friends There Is Calling, (ca-ca-calling)

Days Like These,
It's Hard To Breathe.
I'm Gonna Take This Moment That I'm In Right Now,
Stop The Craziness Somehow.
Leave It All Behind Me,
I Know It's Gonna Find Me.
I Got Nothing To Win And I Got Nothing To Lose,
Just Trying To Walk In My Own Two Shoes,

I'm Gonna Take The Time Now,
It's Time For Me To Find Out
Who I Am

Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Who I Am

Windshield's Like A Movie Screen,
And The World Outside Is A Big Machine,
And It Moves So Fast I Can Barely Think,
That's Ok, 'cause I Know What I'm Doing,

Days Like These,
It's Hard To Breathe.
I'm Gonna Take This Moment That I'm In Right Now,
Stop The Craziness Somehow.
Leave It All Behind Me,
I Know It's Gonna Find Me.
I Got Nothing To Win And I Got Nothing To Lose,
Just Trying To Walk In My Own Two Shoes,

Gonna Take The Time Now,
It's Time For Me To Find Out
Who I Am

Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh,

Sometimes,
You Just Know,
When To Hold On, When To Let Go

Gonna Take This Moment That I'm In Right Now,
Stop The Craziness Somehow.
Leave It All Behind Me,
I Know It's Gonna Find Me.
I Got Nothing To Win And I Got Nothing To Lose,
Just Trying To Walk In My Own Two Shoes,

Gonna Take The Time Now,
It's Time For Me To Find Out
Who I Am

I Got Nothing To Win And I Got Nothing To Lose,
Just Trying To Walk In My Own Two Shoes,

Gonna Take The Time Now,
It's Time For Me To Find Out
Who I Am

Oh Oh, Oh Oh,
Oh Oh, Oh Oh,
Oh Oh, Oh Oh,
Oh Oh, Who I Am.

So This song is just amazing, We have to just stop. Focus on now. Not tomorrow. We need to take this moment now and find out who we are. When we find out who we really are we can move forward and do greater things then we would've if we hadn't found out who we are. If you want an example, read Inheritance by Christopher Paolini.
Hope you liked it!!!
SEE YA!!!
