Modern Family 2.11

Modern Family Season 2 Episode 11: Slow Down Your Neighbors

The story summary is:

Claire becomes a determined neighborhood vigilante hoping to catch and stop a menacing car that speeds though their streets. Meanwhile, Phil is busy trying to land an important listing with a difficult client, Jay teaches Manny how to ride a bike -- only to learn Gloria needs lessons too -- and Mitchell and Cameron stumble upon a mysterious neighbor who is quite the charmer




Thank GOD Modern Family is back early. This episode is filled with 20 minutes of me LOLing. Oh how I miss it. The funniest scenes are when Luke teaches people how to do stuff. (you'll see why)

WATCH this episode. Filled with a bunch of one-liners, and lol worthy moments.

The Hunger Games Triology Review

First off, I wanna say... I LOVE THIS TRILOGY.

1) If you don't like reading... READ THIS BOOK
2) If you don't have the book... GO OUT AND GET IT
3) If you can't read... HAVE SOMEONE READ IT FOR YOU


Honestly, I haven't enjoyed reading THIS much since the Harry Potter Series. THAT is how awesome these books are.




From the website the "summary" of this book is as follows:

Twenty-four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.

Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.


I read this trilogy in THREE DAYS. THREE BOOKS THREE DAYS. Freaking page turner. It may not be the most "original" idea... But the fluidity and excitement of this book takes the cake. It has a mixture of sci-fi, ROMANCE, action, and mystery. There are plenty of plot twists and turns. And I feel like you really do connect with some of the characters and sometimes feel their frustration. *cough* KATNISS *cough* I don't wanna ruin anything for anyone that might want to read the book, so I'll leave it at that. And I don't even have the words to rave about this enough.

I feel like they will make this trilogy into a series. AND I HOPE AND PRAY TO THE LORD that they do not mess up with the casting and script writing. Otherwise, they will expect an angry letter.

TVXQ - Keep Your Head Down

I don't know this group all that well. (or what used to be a group?) BUT I must say that they are quite hot in this video. *drool* And besides the song is pretty catchy.

Call of Duty: Black Ops (Re-Reviewd)

Okay, I admit... I MIGHT have spoken too soon when I reviewed Black Ops (or BLOPS) last time. Here is the blog post with my original review.

And now for my RE-REVIEW!


I played COD again around vacation/winter/xmas time with my cousins. And I have to say it was SUPER FUN! I prefer zombie mode, because in that case I guess everybody has a "fair chance" unlike multiplayer where certain people have perks/awesome guns and such. I played with a suckyass Bluetooth. /MOST/ of the people in Zombie Mode Blopz are quite nice... UNLIKE THE D-BAGS IN MULTIPLAYER. But then again, that's just my opinion. Only bad thing I have to say about the Zombie mode is that it does not have enough maps. (I KNOW blops main point isn't zombies but gimme more maps!) It comes with 3 maps, but I'm guessing the hardened edition has more? I hope that there will be a separate games that ONLY features zombies, because I LOVE co-op stuff.

Overall, it's a fun game to play with your friends and family if you want to have some of a YELLING fest. (I know I yelled a lot when I was playing). I don't think I want to play by myself...yet.


Cost: $60

HAPPY 2011! MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS!

First post of the year!

YAY! I'm glad to say that 2010 is over. Honestly it wasn't the greatest year. But I'm glad that I went through with it. Here's to 2011! And with that in mind, I have decided to make some "realistic" New Years Resolutions. I will check how many I've completed / attempted near the end of June.

So here they are:

1. I will update this blog more.
When I mean MORE, it's not really "daily" blog posts. But more on the lines of "more frequently." I think this will be an easy thing to do.

2. Stay off Facebook
I'm doing good so far. 3 Months "facebook free." But of course I sometimes have to sign on Facebook for random weird stuff. And I eventually deactivate it again. I must maintain my willpower.

3. Meet new people, Make new friends
The end of 2010 was an "antisocial" phase for me. It was really a chance for me to find out who I was and how to make MYSELF happy. Before I make someone else happy. I learned the hard way that even if you try your hardest to make OTHER people happy, (and you think that it would make you happy if you make other people happy right?) you will not be happy. I have learned to come to terms with myself and now I am ready to make friends again. (sort of?)

4. Be healthy
I'm sucha foodie and a sloth. I always eat and never exersise. Let's change that!

5. Learn more and Read more
I wanna know everything. Books, fashion, games, poltics, technology, celebrity gossip... EVERYTHING! I think I can accomplish this by reading more books/magazines/websites and such. I hope I have time. I guess my reasoning for this is that I wanna be able to go up to ANYONE and start a random conversation with them with my supermind. I guess most of the stuff I will know will never come in handy, but hey! At least if I am ever on Jeopardy, I'll be the best!

6. Be the best version of myself that I can be
I can accomplish this by holding less grudges. Helping other people; whether they are the less fortunate, or even my friends (if they TRULY need it that is!). Most importantly, be a better person. I want to find that spark that I once had (or maybe it's still in me that I never knew). But there was a spark in me once. I was fearless, bold, crazy, and full of love. Over the years, I guess it kinda died for a bit because I was overwhelmed by stress and bitterness. I am so blessed to be alive and with my loving family and friends. There are so many other people less fortunate than us in the world that I want to help. We never really think of these things on a daily basis of how lucky we are to be where we are today. When you eat a full meal, you never stop to think about the family who is starving halfway across the country. There are even kids who die from cancer everyday. You really have to take a moment and realize we are the lucky ones. We travel, we shop, we eat, we play, we learn. Simple things we take for granted that others would DIE to have. Sure there are times that you may complain, but in the end you will miss it once it is gone.

True, all the problems in the world can't be solved. But if you help one person, you could potentially save THEIR world. And isn't making an impact in at least ONE person's life good enough?

Selfish Selfish Selfish. We can't be selfish anymore. I can't be selfish anymore. Be the better person.





This new years resolution list officially became a rant. Stupid me. Maybe next post I'll do better.
