Re: The END

Guess what you guys. I don't have a new blog yet. I want a new blog, I do. I need it badly, but I don't have a good enough source for my pickiness. I would like to continue on with Blogger because to me, I already know how to use it and I know I can design it and customize it and stuff like that. But I would like to have some tabs or other articles. You know, like Kalel's blog. This post is more like a small comment. I need a blog right now. Bye. I'm going to find/make one.
~Audrey

The END?!?!

Hey guys! Long time, no see. Why? Well, my iMac was broken for like four months. But, I literally just got a new computer, which I'm in love with. Anyway, I'm going to be making another blog. Yes, another blog. I have so many blogs. Seriously, Kalel Cullen has nothing on me! Well, actually, she has at least four blogs. I have a reading blog, a Warrior role play blog (that I share with my awesome cousin, Ryan), this blog, and I do posts on Ryan's reading blog too. Well, now, I'm going to make a new blog. I've had this idea for awhile now.  I said to myself that I would make a new blog once I got a new computer and well, here it is. It's just that, I would like a fresh new start. I don't know what website I will be using to make this blog or even what to call my blog. So, this will be a work in progress. But, don't worry. I'll give you an update when everything is set up. This new blog is going to be a lot more personal. Don't expect me to be like "Blah Blah is my crush and today he said 'hi' to me in the hallway!" or "Guys, I just got my period." (OMG!!!! LIKE TMI!!!!) But, this new blog will have more of a look on my friends and me. So, I won't be posting on this blog anymore once I make the other blog. Until next time!

FIFTY FACTS ABOUT KALEL!

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY KALEL!!!! Today, Kalel is 25 and hanging out in Hawaii with Anthony! And to Kalel, even though she may never read this, I want to write you a note: 

Dear Kalel Cullen, 

You're my biggest inspiration. I've discovered you through the wonderful world of YouTube last June, when you and Anthony got engaged and I've been a huge fan since. I'm really shy. I'm uncomfortable even around people I've known my whole life! You inspire me to be myself and to stand out. Your videos on WULAS has helped me get through a lot. Whether it's me falling off my bike or a bad fight with my friends, you and Anthony would make me smile and laugh. I dream of meeting you and buying your clothing line with my best friend. I know you'd be an amazing designer and mother. I can't wait for you and your family grow and your dreams to come true. 
"Nothing is impossible.
The word itself says 
I'm possible." 
~Audrey Hepburn
Nothing is impossible. A dream is a wish your heart makes. Follow your dreams, follow your heart. That's what your life seems all about. That's why you are my biggest inspiration. Never change who you are inside. Because to me, you're perfect.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting in a month. The last few weeks, I've been super busy with schoolwork and on weekends, I would be hanging out with friends and family. Spring is officially here and it's so nice and warm out. We've been having a really bad winter. I think our whole spring break is taken away to make up for snow days. Yesterday, I took a ton of pictures at the park and stuff like that. Marshmallow aka Bun Bun is a boy when for five months, we thought he was a girl. We found that out the one day we took him to the vet because there's something wrong with his eye (It's all better now). This Thursday, I watched Frozen on Blu-Ray. I thought it was really good. Today, Macy and I hanged out and played tennis. This upcoming week, I'll be taking these big, state tests for math and reading. That also means I won't have much homework! :) Now, more about those photos. I love photography, I do. I wish I had a better camera to take pictures with, but the one I have will do. I usually take pictures for the beauty. Some pictures of my friends and me or vacations, or other stuff like that are for memories. Pictures up there are for the beauty. I have fun, seeing what I can capture on camera and how breath taking it turns out to be. Just stopping and admiring the world around you. So, what do you think of the photos? Should I do more posts like this? As always, thanks for reading! I promise I'll post more often!

One little thing could change everything...

Think about it, THINK ABOUT IT. One little thing could change everything. I have several examples to tell you, one that especially changed my life. I was thinking about this the other day. My mom was once engaged with this guy. She bought a wedding dress and they planned the wedding, but things didn't work out. You should know what I mean. THINK ABOUT IT. If they were married, I might've not been born. I could've been a boy. And if I was a boy, my name wouldn't been Ian. :( (My dad was going to be named Ian, but instead, he's Christopher. Ian would also be such a hacking awesome name. I'd be a half of Smosh!) Even if I was a girl, my name might've not be Audrey. And I'm only getting started. If my dad I have now wasn't my dad, I would've not know him or the other half of my family. I probably would not have this computer I am typing on now or my blue mountain bike. If I didn't have my dad's half of the family as my family, I might not be interested in things like Pokemon, which my cousins introduced me to and interests in photography, because my aunt is a professional photographer. I probably be living in a different house, town, state even! I would not have the friends I have today. I would've gone to a different school and learn different things from what I learn now. My family could be poor or rich. I could be an only child, one of two, one of four, one of seven, or even an orphan. So many different things could be different from today if my mother married that guy (I don't know his name or any other details at all). And I could keep going on and on. Not only this, but there is hundreds of examples that just one little thing could change everything. For instance, smoking. That cigarette can get you addicted and you'll keep on smoking. You'll have an unhealthy body and a high risk of cancer. That little cigarette can kill you. And what about breaking the law? This may be a bit stupid, but what if you trespass on private property or do something illegal that isn't that bad, but it is still bad if you do it, and you have to go to jail for it? Say you owe overdued money to pay for your rent and you are broke, so your last hope is to get a good job. The problem is you forget to set your alarm early and you sleep in during the interview. That tiny mistake could kick you off the curb and to be homeless or living with your parents. I don't know, but seriously. Be careful, be aware, be considerate because one little thing can really change everything.

PSY visits Nathan...SO SWEET =)

Oh my gosh, this is so amazing! Back in 2012, Connie Kin suggested to make a baby parody of Gangnam Style. Psy saw it and tweeted about it, etc. When he found out Nathan's mother had died, Psy surprised the family with a visit. :) It was great to see everyone smiling and having fun. In loving memory of Connie. Rest In Peace.

Hipster

I hate it when people say they are a hipster because they have glasses. I have glasses, but I don't call myself a hipster. Well actually, I am a bit of a hipster. And that is what I want to share with you today. The thing is, hipsters like things that aren't mainstream and things that they liked first until it became popular. That is kind of me. A thing is my thing before some one comes up and says "Hey! I like that too!" >O< (ilikeditfirstyoubeep!) For example, my friend started a YouTube channel and so I'm pretty sure she came to my channel, saw who/what I subscribed to and subscribed to them, then acts like she loves them, when I've been loving them first, and longer, and a hundred million times more than you do girl! Sorry. I'm such a hipster. Same thing with my other friend. All of the sudden, she is loving Japanese stuff and anime, when she says she always liked anime. I have a special connection to Japan, the same has Ryan and Josh (my cousins who both also want to go to Japan). Their parent's friend lives in Japan! Lately, it seems like no one cares about what I say or think. < Really only with my 2 friends. Something happened that really hurt my feelings. Friday afternoon, Olga (the anime loving girl) and Keke were drawing anime and complaining about their eyes being too big or small. No one invites me in to draw with them (when they should know I also like anime and drawing anime). I don't know. Olga is making me upset. All of a sudden, she loves unicorns and rainbows, a bunch of heavy metal bands, and anime. ??? :( I talked to this with Ryan yesterday and she says Olga is probably trying to find her true self, like I said on here. I realized I changed a lot through the year. A LOT. So, that's why I'm a bit of a hipster. Just because of my own thing being taken over. Yep. I'm not a hipster that much at all, just a bit of one. Plus, I do like big glasses, vintage style clothes, and accessories. Anyway, tell me what you think and why you're a hipster. Bye 4 now!

Movie Sequels

I don't know why, but there has been something between me and movie sequels lately. I swear, I cannot get over Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, Monsters University, and Catching Fire. First off, I watched Catching Fire in the movies 3 months ago. I seriously cannot wait until this comes out in Blu-Ray. It's my favorite movie! This was also my favorite book in the trilogy (it is more than just a series). Next, Monsters University. Our family got it for Christmas and we watched it with my cousin at my grandparents' house. The next day, we watched it again with my dad. I think I like MU more than Monsters Inc.

I seriously I have to watch this movie again. I'm the same way with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, I watched it almost 2 weeks ago. Literally, 2 weeks ago! Now let's go to Despicable Me 2. I haven't seen it yet, but I really want to see it. Despicable Me has a kind of special connection to our family. Eliza, my aunt, and I watched Despicable Me the night Sabrina was born. At the end of the movie, my dad texted my aunt a picture of my newborn sister. :) Plus, who does not love Agnes and the minions? Anyway, Happy birthday Josh! Today is his 11th birthday, we celebrated it yesterday. They are going to see The Lego Movie today, lucky! On the topic of movies, here are some other movies I want to see: The Lego Movie (like I said), Frozen, Mocking Jay part 1 (too soon?), Divergent, and etc. I think I have another movie to say, but I can't think of it. Anyway, Bye 4 now!

True Friends

We all need a friend. A best friend. A true friend. But finding one is hard. For some people, it's easy, but it isn't easy for me. I think a true friend should

• be there for you
• trust you
• care for you
• understand you
• encourage you
• help and comfort you  
• have your back
• never take you for granted           
• always listen 

Etc., Etc. (Isn't the picture up there so cute?) I have great friends and I'm very lucky, but I don't think I have that true friend yet. God is going to send me her, I know it. (I plan to make a post about my thoughts on God) In most relationships with my friends, I feel like I am the third wheel. Let me give you an example:(Note: I'm not using my friend's actual names, but what I'm telling you is true) I've been friends with Olga and Keke since we were both in kindergarden and 1st grade. We are all on the same bus after school and at the bus stop, we are there, talking, doing homework, doing what friends do for 20 minutes or so. But Olga and Keke seem to have a special connection. They are on the same bus in the morning, they are in almost every music practice/group together, they are in the same class, they sometimes walk home to school together, see each other after school more often, and etc. Sure, I'm jealous. I feel like the third wheel. They are just great friends together. Same as Lilo and Stitch (Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!!). The thing is I'm not the first one you want to call to come over, I'm not the first one who you choose to be your partner on a field trip, I'm not the first one you think of. I want someone to always be there for me. To understand. To not judge me. To be a true friend.

WALKING ON AIR!!!!

Guess where I'm going this August.

(does cartwheels and summersaults with a purple unicorn while riding a roller coaster in Tokyo and having Katy Perry sing to me as I watch Smosh videos) 

~Audrey PS Happy Birthday to me (: 

Safari Animals!

These are so adorable! I got them for Christmas from my aunt Danielle. They are plaster figurines which you are suppose to paint, which I have not done yet. There is an elephant, a monkey, a hippo, a tiger, a zebra, and a lion. I just had to make a little post about how cute these are. Maybe I'll do another post with them painted!

Hot 'n Cold with Kalel

Oh my gosh, this collage I made is so beautiful. This is the Kalel Cullen! I love her soooo much. Today, I want to tell you about her and her life story. (Haha, that sounds weird) Her blog inspired me to make this blog and my favorite YouTube channel is Watch Us Live And Stuff or WULAS, which I'll also tell you about. Let's start from the beginning. 

Just some little stuff..

Kalel Cullen was born on March 30, 1989 and she will turn 25 this year. Her birth name was Kristen Smith, but when she was 18, she changed it to Kalel Cullen from Superman because she didn't think Kristen Smith fit her. She has a Savannah cat named Buki (6th picture in collage) who she had for around 2 years and she and Anthony, her boyfriend, adopted Pip (same breed) in August. (Buki is a girl and Pip is a boy) She is a cat worshipper, a perfectionist, and a bit of a hipster. (Oh my gosh, I just realized this is also me!) She is really into fashion and beauty, video games, Pokemon, YouTube (she is a YouTuber, what do you expect?), anime, Japanese stuff (she went to Tokyo twice!), and other stuff. Kalel and Anthony are both vegan. 

QueenBeeuty          

Starting off her YouTube "career", Kalel made beauty videos, makeup tutorials, and girly stuff like that on QueenBeeuty. She just started making videos when she bored and she had created an audience. But some were haters. People hated on her because they said she was a liar. She lied about her name, going to college, her job, and other little things. But she isn't a liar. She didn't lie about anything. We all tell lies. You probably told a lie about something this morning. She had said that she was in her 3rd year of college when she had dropped out during her 1st year because she wanted to be a role model. Haters also had taken evidence against her when she deleted some videos. Kalel is a perfectionist like I had said and she would always notice something wrong, so she deleted the video, but people said she deleted it so no one would take it as proof that she was a liar. She kept making videos and if she had stop making videos entirely, I would have not have known her and things would be different for me. She had announced that she was going to make a cosplay channel in the last video she posted on QueenBeeuty.

Cozplai

She made this channel to do cosplay tutorials for some of her favorite characters. The videos were awesome and they took her a long time to do. She only made 4 videos on this channel: Vanille (Final Fantasy), Nana (Nana), Snow White (Disney), and Fluttershy (My Little Pony). What is really cool about these videos is she almost made everything she wore! 

Wonderland Wardrobe

After a few months of Cozplai, Kalel started another channel where she did DIYs, hauls, vlogs, monthly updates, and other fashion videos. At this time, she had her haired dyed iguana green for 10 months. As you can tell, she dyes her hair a lot, but currently (5th picture) I think her hair is at its natural color. 

Frilly + Fancy

This is her beauty and fashion blog/YouTube channel that she is now doing. All of these channels above she had a blog for and Frilly + Fancy is more of her blog because on YouTube, she only has one video, but she has some plans for some videos. She is going to go to a fashion school and she is working on a book and hopefully, a fashion line.

Anthony and Watch Us Live And Stuff

Anthony Padilla and Kalel have been dating for 3 years since October 10, 2010. Anthony is from Smosh, the second most subscribed YouTube channel, and he met Kalel at a party at a bar. They started talking for days and then, they began dating. At a zoo in Tokyo, Anthony proposed to Kalel with a ring that as the Roman numeral X (10), to mark the day they began dating. They created a channel called Watch Us Live And Stuff where they posted almost daily videos that were vlogs, taste tests, gaming videos, movie reviews, mail openings, and other great videos. WULAS is my favorite YouTube channel, I love their family so much. (Haha, their kids are 2 cats!) It's funny because I subscribed once I saw the video when Anthony proposed. (check out 4th picture) 

Conclusion

I love Kalel and Anthony so much! But lately, Kalel has been busy. In fall, she hadn't posted on her blog in awhile for a period of time. Then, she posted one day. And I realized on her blog, all of her past posts were gone. When she talked about being such a perfectionist that she deleted videos on QueenBeeuty, I thought she changed. But I don't know why she deleted all of her posts, that even included change. I still love her so much. I also wish her and Anthony good luck. She is moving into another apartment, away from the apartment she lives with Anthony, because she and Anthony need some space. (check out frillyandfancy.blogspot.com to learn more) 

Again, I love Kalel Cullen Padilla. She inspires me and I hope she inspires you.

DANCE PARTY!

This is my jam! 

First of all, happy new year! I've been a huge fan of the Just Dance games since Just Dance 2 came out. At the time, my dad's friends had Just Dance and because it looked so fun, he bought it for us and as the years passed, we got the new Just Dance game every time. I love these games so much! So far, my favorites songs on Just Dance 2014 are Follow The Leader, Where Have You Been, and I Kissed A Girl. :)
