#GleeGoodbye
I have to admit, I wasn't there since Day 1. Well...because I was living in the Philippines at the time and they didn't air it there. I started watching halfway through Season 3.
From then on, my life was changed forever. Every day after school, when my brother's ex girlfriend let me borrow her Season 1 & 2 DVD's I would almost run home and watch Glee until I fall asleep. It would always cheer me up and make my day. Especially the ones when I got bullied.
Glee has changed my life forever. It has taught me so much lessons like being myself is the most important thing.
Words cannot describe at how proud I am of Glee and how happy I am for the show. We've graduated from McKinley High losers! Congratulations!

Arrow-
When presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, he hides the ways the experience has changed him.

The first season, subsequently subtitled Murder House, takes place in Los Angeles, California during the year 2011 and centers on a family that moves into a house haunted by its deceased former occupants. The second season, subtitled Asylum, takes place in Massachusetts during the year 1964 and follows the stories of the inhabitants of an institution for the criminally insane.

The fourth season, subtitled Freak Show, takes place in Jupiter, Florida during the year 1952 and centers around one of the few remaining American freak shows.[3]
Guilty pleasure, really.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians- Keeping Up with the Kardashians is an American reality television series that has aired on E! since October 14, 2007. It focuses on the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family. Its premise originated with Ryan Seacrest, who additionally serves as an executive producer.
Rachel Green flees her wedding day and seeks out childhood friend Monica Geller, a New York City chef. They become roommates, and Rachel joins Monica's social circle of single people in their mid-20s: struggling actor Joey Tribbiani, business professional Chandler Bing, masseuse and musician Phoebe Buffay, and newly divorced paleontologist Ross Geller, Monica's older brother. To support herself Rachel becomes a waitress at Central Perk, the Manhattan coffeehouse where the group often hangs out; when not there, the six are usually at Monica and Rachel's nearby West Village apartment, or Joey and Chandler's across the hall.
Episodes typically depict the friends' comedic romantic adventures and career issues, such as Joey auditioning for roles or Rachel seeking jobs in the fashion industry. The six characters each have many dates and serious relationships, such as Monica with Richard Burke and Ross with Emily Waltham. Ross and Rachel's intermittent relationship is the most often-recurring storyline; during the ten seasons of the show they repeatedly date and break up, even while Ross briefly marries Emily, he and Rachel have a child, Chandler and Monica date and marry each other, and Phoebe marries Mike Hannigan. Other frequently recurring characters include Ross and Monica's parents in Long Island, Ross's ex-wife and their son, Central Perk barista Gunther, and Chandler's ex-girlfriend Janice.
One Tree Hill- The main storyline in the early seasons is the relationship between two half-brothers, Lucas and Nathan Scott, who start out as enemies but bond as the show progresses. In the pilot episode, Lucas obtains a place in the Tree Hill Ravens (the high school basketball team) with the help of his uncle Keith. Nathan, the head of the team, takes a dislike to Lucas, and this becomes the basis of their rivalry. Lucas's romantic interest in Nathan’s girlfriend Peyton Sawyer also strengthens their feud. Peyton's best friend Brooke Davis tries to date Lucas, and Nathan attempts to date Lucas's best friend Haley James. The story of Lucas and Nathan's father Dan Scott is occasionally explored through flashbacks, which show his relationships with Karen Roe, Lucas's mother, and Deb Scott, Nathan's mother, and how he ended up with one woman rather than the other. He had a high school romance with Karen, resulting in Lucas's birth, but he refused to claim Lucas as his son. Leaving Karen, he married Deb and the couple bore Nathan. Seventeen years later, Deb begins a strong friendship and partnership with Karen against Dan's will. In later seasons of the show, the parents are seen less often. Karen dates her college professor Andy Hargrove.

Teen Wolf- The series revolves around social outcast Scott McCall, a high school student living in the town of Beacon Hills. Scott's life drastically changes when he is bitten by a werewolf, becoming one himself. He must henceforth learn to balance his problematic new identity with his day-to-day teenage life. The following characters are instrumental to his struggle: Stiles, his human best friend; Allison, his first love interest who comes from a family of werewolf hunters; Lydia, a banshee and Allison's best friend; and Derek, a mysterious werewolf with a dark past. Along the way, he encounters characters who shape him into a stronger werewolf and better person: Jackson, a bully from his high school; Malia, a were-coyote and Derek's cousin; Kira, a Japanese fox spirit and Scott's second love interest; and Liam, Scott's beta and the first human he bites. Throughout the series, he strives to keep his loved ones safe while maintaining normal relationships with them.

January 2015 Favorites!
A collection of what I have liked this month! None of these photos are mine, by the way.
Last but not least, are tea. Iced and green tea are what I'm feeling at the moment.
Iced tea- Iced tea is an amazing refreshment when it's a hot day. I like Lipton's, Arizona's or Teza's iced tea. They are all amazing to me and delicious.
Green tea- Green tea is apparently the healthiest drink on the planet. It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful, healthy effects on the body.
I highly recommend both types of tea. It'll change your life and make you feel healthier when you know you're not. *Cough* So me *cough.

First off, The Avatar series. I’m a big fan of the Avatar shows, both Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, and I actually hope that the creators of these two shows (Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino) will make a 3rd show, that will continue the Avatar saga. I think they should make the 3rd show about Earthbender twins (since the next Avatar is supposed to be an earthbender). I think it would be interesting.
If you have not seen one or neither...where have you been?!
Next, Beth Reekles. This writer is amazing! I discovered her books because...the cover struck me...I know, I know, you're not supposed to judge by the cover. But I thought it was interesting. And, so it was. The story.
Beth Reekles is a writer from Wattpad. Who here writes/reads in Wattpad? *puts both my hands up*. She inspires me to put effort in my stories. Check her stories out if you can. They're very interesting and romantic.
3rd is Golden by Jessi Kirby. Again, I judged from the cover...and maybe because Gold is one of my favorite colors.
This book is about "Seventeen year old, Parker Frost may be a distant relative of poet Robert Frost, but she has never taken the road less traveled. Valedictorian and quintessential good girl, she's about to graduate high school and without having kissed her crush or broken any rules. So when fate drops a mystery in her lap- one that might be the key to uncovering the truth about a town tragedy- She decides to take a chance."
I loooooooooved the book. It taught me of what to expect in life. It's an amazing, inspiring piece of story. It's one of those romantic-mystery type books. I'm recommending it highly, especially for 12+

Movie Review: Into The Woods.
Director: Rob Marshall
Writers: James Lapine
My Rating: [insert 5 stars]
Into The Woods follows the story of bakers (James Corden & Emily Blunt), Jack (Daniel Huttlestone), Little Red (Lilla Crawford), Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Rapunzel (Mackenzie Mauzy) and the witch (Meryl Streep). The bakers wanted a child. They would do anything for a child! So the witch next to their bakery - who have set a curse on the husband baker's family tree because she caught his dad stealing from her garden back before the baker was born, and took the special beans - tasks them to get "a cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, the slippers as pure as gold" to reverse 2 curses and perform a miracle on a milk-less cow. In the woods, when the bakers first meet Jack, they trade Jack into giving them his cow for THE beans, thinking they fooled Jack with the "They're magical!" they continued on their way to get the rest of what was needed.
When Jack came home, he showed his mother and she got mad and accidentally threw the beans on the ground, not knowing a single thing that will happen. Later on, After Jack killed the first lady giant by cutting down the vine, another lady giant goes down on Earth to hunt for Jack for first, stealing and second killing the other lady giant. The whole village was almost destroyed.
Into The Woods is a modern twist on the Brothers Grimm fairy tales in a musical version that follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel all tied together by an original story including a baker and his wife and a witch.
I only watched Into The Woods last night. It was amazing, one of the best musicals ever written. I thought the casting was great. I thought the setting, the camera effects was great. And especially, I thought the soundtrack is fantastic! I am actually listening to it now!
If you ever have time, I think you should go watch Into The Woods, it is quite an entertaining film. Or...you could watch the theater version. Either way, Into The Woods, is amazing.
My favorite quotes from it: "Nice is different than good." & ...well...it's basically the whole No One Is Alone song, listen to that & "Sometimes people leave you halfway through the woods", I think the last quote is a metaphor of some people leave you through your life (woods metaphor-ing life), either if that's because they died (I'm sorry) or you separated or something like that and it's telling us that, when they leave you halfway through the woods, you have to keep going, whether that's going through the woods alone or not.

Taylor Swift: My queen. My savior.
Note: This text is not written from me. I saw it on Tumblr and thought it was pretty awesome. But I added some touches to it. Credit to Tumblr user 'swikes' for this :) Go follow her, amazing blogger and blog. (I'm pretty sure she's a her...). So here we go.
To the people who hates Taylor Swift.
‘Can we like, talk about, how Taylor Swift is like, so, dramatic? Like omg!’
‘Her songs are only about love and guys that dumped her.’
First of all. Quit your whining, because some of your friends have been out with more people than she has, and they’re probably a lot younger. Second of all, all songs are about love...every single one of them.
But anyway,
No, we can’t talk about either of those things. What we can talk about, though, is the fact that things like these are the reason that:
‘Can we like, talk about, how Taylor Swift is like, so, dramatic? Like omg!’
‘Her songs are only about love and guys that dumped her.’

But anyway,
No, we can’t talk about either of those things. What we can talk about, though, is the fact that things like these are the reason that:
she told Rolling Stone that she doesn’t date anymore
- she finds it necessary to make fun of herself every chance she gets
- why “Shake it Off” exists
- why she DOESN’T DATE ANYMORE
- why she refuses to date even though it’s her own personal life
- did i mention that she doesn’t allow herself to date anymore lol
This isn’t funny. This is disgusting. Sure, she looks like she’s shrugging it off like a joke. I get that it’s a joke. So does she. But do people not understand that Taylor Alison Swift’s entire future is basically ruined? She has dated six people in her entire eight year career. Six. Not fifteen in the last year. Not twelve. Not six people in eight months. Six people in eight YEARS. Still, though, she seems to get slammed for it by every media outlet, by every award show host, by every country music fan, by every One Direction fan, by every person who reads any magazine where they pull information out of their asses to get money. They have no problem ruining someone’s reputation for money.
Taylor Swift is a twenty-five year old girl who will eventually need someone to spend the rest of her life with. How is that going to happen now? Not only does Taylor get bashed, but any male she is seen with gets bashed. Taylor could be seen with her brother and get slammed for having a new boyfriend. Sorry, HollywoodLife.com, but I don’t think Taylor’s very much into incest.
Whoever decides to date Taylor is going to get crap on by magazines and people everywhere. “Haha, bro, watch out. She might write a song about you” will probably be the end to every article about her future boyfriend and her relationship. Maybe some man out there will be able to brush that off, but what the...frickle frack?
A twenty-five year old girl with a heart of absolute gold shouldn’t be forced to go through that. She is trying to live her dream while leaving the greatest impact on the world she possibly can, and now she has to control what she released, who she dates, who she’s seen with, and basically just control every single little aspect of her life. I get that it’s the life of a celebrity, but take Adam Levine for example. He’s a great guy. He’s also idolized by women everywhere. He’s had more relationships in his career than Taylor. Do you hear about that? No.
Get rid of the double standard; let Taylor Swift live her life without the rumors, the jokes, and the hate. As someone who Taylor has impacted positively, it’s just really annoying.
You know when you’re in class with someone who has no idea what the heck they’re talking about? That’s what being a Swiftie is like, everywhere. Turn on the TV, false information. Open a magazine, false information. Scroll through Twitter, false information.
Instead of making jokes about Taylor’s relationship-life, why don’t you make fun of her for, I don’t know, something harmless? Tell her she’s addicted to Instagram because she is sometimes seen up at 4 in the morning commenting paragraph upon paragraph of comforting messages to teens who are dealing with things they don’t know how to deal with.
Thank you very much.
Oh! And in her ‘1989’ album, did you know that she accidentally released 8 seconds of white noise, and it made it to the top of Candian, and possibly in more countries, iTunes chart.
