Benediction

Thanks to the ear
that someone may hear

Thanks to seeing
that someone may see

Thanks to feeling
that someone may feel

Thanks to touch
that someone may be touched

Thanks to flowering of white moon
and spreading shawl of black night
holding villages and cities together

or, if you go to my school, which is currently North Canyon High School, you know that you can always talk to me about it!

Today marks the 2nd-Anniversary for this blog!!! It's been 2 years that I've had this blog now!! Wow! So much has happened in soo little time!! Let's take a look back on this year:

• MY CELEBRITY CRUSHES: Well, as you know, there's been numerous this year! From April 12th, 2009-July 10th, 2009, I had a HUGE crush on Dev Patel! He played in the phenomenal movie Slumdog Millionaire! After seeing that movie, my heart throbbed for that boy! But, later on, I found out that he was, and still is, dating his former co-star Freida Pinto. She is incredibly gorgeous and I knew I couldn't top her...so, I moved on. It was from July 14th, 2009-August 29th, 2009, that I fell in love with Scott Michael Foster. He currently plays in the hit T.V show called Greek. I remembered when I first laid eyes on him. It was in a magazine of mine. {chuckle} And when I gazed at him, I instantly melted. But, then something had happened. I guess my hormones had exploded at the time because I not only fell in love with Scott, I also fell in love with 2 other guys!! So, from September 1st, 2009-October 19th, 2009, I had fallen in love with not just Scott, but Josh Hutcherson and Jackson Ryan Hurst! Boy! Was my hormones go'n crazy then or what?! LOSNL!!! From September 2nd, 2009-October 24th 2009, I added Taylor Lautner into my celebrity crush list!!! You can imagine how crazy I was when I saw New Moon!! {chuckle} I was practically drooling just looking at Taylor Lautner SHIRTLESS!!! Then, I started to lose interest in Jackson Ryan Hurst and Scott Michael Foster......and added 2 more guys into the list!!! It was from October 26th 2009-December 19th 2009, Gerard Butler and Jamie Kennedy came into my eyes!!! I only had liked Jamie Kennedy because he looked like my crush at school!!! And Gerard Butler?! Who wouldn't fall for his sexy accent and buff body?! LOSNL!! Then, from December 20th, 2009-December 30th, 2009, I fell in love with James Maslow! He's in the hit Nickelodeon T.V show called Big Time Rush! I thought he was more cute than anything!!! He has such beautiful eyes....no joke!! It was then that I stopped having a crush on Jamie Kennedy and Gerard Butler......and added someone else to the list!!! His name is......Andy Samberg!! It started off as just a crush for me....but, little did I know that it was about to get serious! Once January had hit, I no longer had a crush on James Maslow and Taylor Lautner....my eyes were set on Andy!!
• MY SCHOOL CRUSHES: This school year was very different for me. I only had one major crush this year and his name is Alex Kalos! I can't tell you what happened between me and him until later. I want to use a FULL post about him. I did have a couple of little crushes like John and Tanner. John was in my American History class and was always quiet and always had his earphones in his ears. I only talked to him once....sadly. I never told him that I liked him and he never knew. {sigh} He was soo darn cute!!! I couldn't resist taking a peek at him during lectures and work. And as for Tanner, he was in my Physics class. I have spoken to him a lot more than John. Tanner is really cute and has gorgeous eyes. He is really funny too! One time, he was my lab partner, and all I did was keep my focus on him!! LOSNL!!
• MY FAMILY: My parents are doing well. Every now-and-then, they'll argue...but, they seem to get over it really quickly! They work constantly and are just getting by. Jabari has gotten even more hard-headed than ever before. He's talking really well though and loves to watch Nick Jr. My sister and I have gotten really close this year. Our friendship gets stronger everyday. We all just recently moved and have cooperated to get this house together and are getting accustomed to it. Next stop to get accustomed to is Millennium High School!!
• ME: O wow! Now it's my turn! Well, for starters, I have changed dramatically this year. Andy Samberg has influenced me a ton!! He's changed my lingo completely!!! I now say words like "Legit", "Ka-Blamo", "Cool-Beans", "LOSNL", "OMSNL", "Perfecto", etc! Along with Andy, having to deal with Alex Kalos has changed me alot as well. I am learning how to let love find me....instead of the other way around. I am learning how to accept who I am and love myself for it! I have become this strong, confident young woman who knows how and when to focus and who cares for her friends and family deeply! Most importantly, I have learned about myself this year. I have seeked my strengths and weaknesses and have learned to embrace them both. I'm very proud of myself and of what I've become!

Thank you Peeps for spending another year with me and watching me grow. I greatly appreciate it! Hopefully, we'll spend many more years together in the near future!! Take care Peeps and I'll talk to you guys later!! HAPPY 2ND-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!

*Remember*~Praise is the best diet for us, after all.

These 2 pictures are of me when

I was a Sophmore in High School.

This was when I had those paper-

thin glasses! LOSNL!! And these

pictures was taken BEFORE I got

my haircut. This next picture was

taken in the parking lot in front of

the Paradise Valley Mall area. As

you can see, this was taken in the

evening--->when the sun was setting.

This picture is soo beautiful!! It is soo

beautiful when the sun sets out here

in Arizona~a truly remarkable sight!

This next picture is of the cresent of

the moon. Can you see it?

It is really far away. And I think

that's a star next to the cresent

moon. If not, then it was an

airplane flying by! I hope you

enjoyed these pictures!! There's

still loads left to come!!

The Rent is Up

What Up Peeps!!!

The rent is up for the house that I'm living in right now. We're in the process of packing things up. (very slowly, that is!) We have to be out of this house by the end of May-which is perfect timing because that's when me and Dizz get out of school. About a month-to 2 months ago, we were filled with "showings" for this house. A showing is when you let a family schedule in time to come see your house to see if they want dibbs on it next! {chuckle} I hated showings!!! It would always be after school, and that's when I'm busy doing homework and studying! It was awful. But, now the showings have slowed down and now we're looking for a house! There's a house literally 2 doors down that is up for grabs! There's also another house up for grabs....only it's across the street in our development. (We live in a gated community! When I first moved to this house, I thought that people living in this development were rich!) My parents are still deciding on which house to take.

Wow! This house is full of memories that are too strong to just let go. This was the house where I was finally over Bhavin-who is now my ex, but is still my friend. This was the house that I came home to when I was going through that whole "Alex Kalos Phase". (I'll tell you about that later.) {chuckle} This was the house where I had a crush on Gerard Butler, Jamie Kennedy, Taylor Lautner, Josh Hutcherson, Scott Michael Foster, Jackson Hurst, Seth Green, and now Andy Samberg!! {tear} This was the house where I found out that Michael Jackson had passed away. My family had gathered around in the family room and we saw Michael Jackson's tribulation-which was aired WORLDWIDE. This was the house that I got my very first laptop at! This is the house where I've become stronger and have grown up since the first time I came here! This is the house where me and Dizz had watched SNL and have become a big fan of it! This is the house where me and Dizz had listened to our The Lonely Island CD and the Hot Rod soundtrack on FULL BLAST and danced to it in the family room while our parents were at work! This is the house where Dizz and I have become close in our sister-relationship! This house holds soo many memories......

Now that I think about it, I'm really going to miss this house! The good news is that I'm going to be in a new house soon where I can make even MORE memories! It's funny how many memories one contains in one lifetime. Memories of experience, love, life, and most importantly-happiness. I think I'm ready to open up my memory box for this next house! And I'll make sure that you'll be part of the fun!

Well Peeps, I'm trying very hard to make more blog posts for you guys! I've literally been busy with school! Let me tell you, if you're in AP, JUNIOR year is the hardest year of high school! I know because I'm in AP and it's been a hectic year for me!! But, the school year is almost over and I'm friggin excited about it!! Well Peeps, I better go! I'll talk to you guys later!

*Remember*~Before an evening of romance, turn off the cell phone.

Swirlz+Dizz

What Up Peeps!!!

As some of you may know, I have a HUGE crush on Andy Samberg! But, what you may not know is that my sister, Hanifa, has a huge crush on Andy as well! Actually, thanks to Andy Samberg, me and Hanifa's relationship has grown tighter than ever before! I would like to admit that Hanifa is my best friend! She knows me more than anyone else in the world. We grew up together for 9 years now. I say that because she is 4 years younger than me. And though siblings hardly ever get along, me and Hanifa's relationship is different! I honestly can say that I can't live without her! {chuckle} I question myself sometimes. Wondering how the heck I had lived my life for 4 years without Hanifa! 4 YEARS!!! That's too long for me! But, of course, the situation was that I am my parents first-born child. For those 4 years, I had never thought of having another sibling in my life. Boy, was I in for a surprise!!

Now-a-days, on the weekends, me and Hanifa LOVE to watch Hot Rod and SNL together! We also love to listen to The Lonely Island and our Hot Rod soundtrack! Basically, ANYTHING having to deal with Andy Samberg, we love to watch it together! Me and Hanifa has grown such a special bond that we have created nicknames for each other! My nickname is "Swirlz" and Hanifa's is "Dizz"! Every now-and-then, we'll refer to each other as "Kimosaby" from the hit SNL Digital Short: Laser Cats 5. Also, me and Dizz really want to become famous! Of course, you guys have always known that I want to become a famous singer and poet. But, Dizz wants to be a comedian/actress/cellist. We both want to appear on SNL! Well, I just want to host SNL while Dizz wants to be part of the cast of SNL! Me and Dizz love to hang out and have fun. (well, that's a given!) We pretty much love to do everything together!!

I would like to take a moment to thank Allah for having Hanifa come into my life and being my sister!! Allah only knows what my life would have been like without her! {chuckle} She brings out the 'fun' in me! I'm soo thankful to have her in my life! And I'd like to proudly state that she will be in high school with me NEXT YEAR!! Though I will be a Senior and she will be a Freshman, we will hang out together like there's no tomorrow. Our school WILL know who the Wilson sisters are come next year. LOSNL!! I can't wait!!

So, I ask you today if you could ever imagine yourself and your sibling being best friends?! Though it may sound weird, it is possible! I do see myself, 10 years from now, hanging out with Dizz just like now-a-days. I am very glad to have her!!

*Remember*~There's a witness in every footstep you take.

In Love With The Enemy (An Archetypes Poem)

What Up Peeps!!!

POEM BACKGROUND: This poem was made when I was a a Freshmen in High School. It was about my first high school crush! Ah yes. I remember it now. His name was Alex Bradley. At the time, I had a HUGE celebrity crush on Mitchel Musso....and I was utterly convinced that Alex looked just like him! {He really does though! No lie!} {reminiscing} I remember telling him that I liked him....and he turned me down-TWICE!! Yeah. I liked that boy twice in one year-that's how hot I thought he was! I wrote this poem after ONE of the rejections! (I honestly can't remember which rejection it was! Freshmen year was a blur to me!) This is my first Archetypes poem I have ever written. So, here's the poem, "In Love With The Enemy". Enjoy!!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
In Love With
The Enemy
(An Archetypes Poem)

When I first met you,
You were truly blue.

I thought you were my
rising sun, my garden, my tree
My ultimate remedy.

But now,
You are black.

You are now the desert,
the serpent, the Fall.
I can only call you by
gall.

When I seek to find green
and white,
You're nowhere in sight;
You are out of my light.

You have decided to be
My tyren.

You're the devil, the traitor,
the evil genius.
Kind of like Oedipus.

But, for some reason,
I still love you!

How can I be in love
with the enemy?
Am I too blind to see,
That you're clearly way too
mean to me?
Is it because you're my Sea?
Timelessness and eternity?

I guess it's because you're
The Devil.

You are the charming fiend,
You give people what you
think they deserve.

And I....
I am the librarian.
And the nurturer.

The devil and the librarian can
never mix.
You can question this,
just for kicks!

So now,
I must move on from this
lunetic,
I feel sick
From this pick
That I once called
My Love.

So Long,
My Love,
My Enemy,
My Devil,
My So-Called Best Friend,

So Long
&
Good-Bye!

My 1st High School Crush
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So, what did you think about the poem? Pretty raw feelings there, huh? Yeah. It was evident that I still loved him after I wrote this poem. My feelings were soo strong for Alex back then, that I lost sight of the big picture there! He literally took advantage of me because I liked him soo much! No matter how much he had made me mad, my hormones had found another way for me to forgive and like him again. But, this poem is very deep. I love the language I had used throughout this poem! And I was a Freshmen who wrote this! That's pretty good....if I do say so myself! I like how in the end, I say, "So Long" twice. This corresponds to me not really wanting to say good-bye to Alex, my enemy, but, my concious tells me over and over again that it's for the best! The similies and metaphors are perfect to a tea in this poem!

This poem was written when I was in Shadow Mountain. I've moved since then-to a new house and school! Me and Alex Bradley are friends on MySpace. And last time I saw him was last January during Honor Band. I'll admit-when I saw him, I had then remembered why I had fallen for him twice in one year! Yes-I still do have a crush on him! And I always will, whether I like it or not because Alex is my 1st High School Crush-there will ALWAYS be a liking for my 1st High School Crush! I haven't seen nor talked to him since then. But, hopefully I can chat with him soon on MySpace!

Well Peeps, I better go! The goal for this year is to get you guys up-to-date on my life because there's still loads of things that I have to talk to you about! I'll talk to you guys later!

*Remember*~Mental activity keeps you busy at this time.

This picture below is of my

backyard, looking up! Once again,

I was addicted to taking pictures

of the sun! LOL!!

Isn't it beautiful?! This next

picture is of our orange tree,

up close. Some of the oranges

that you will see are green

because they are not ripe yet!

Believe it or not, but this orange

tree inspired me to name my blog

after it! Now, these next 2 pictures

was obviously taken when I was

bored! Can you guess what these

images are?!

If you think that these 2 pictures

are of my eye in the dark, then

you're right! Like I said, I was

very bored that day and decided

to experiment! LOL!! I guess I was

right-my eyes are brown in lighting!

Enjoy!!

Henry David Thoreau and Maya Angelou

What Up Peeps!!!

So, my English teacher, Mrs. Murphy-Tick, has left my class with reading the book Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, and doing our author study. I chose my author study to be Maya Angelou. I had partied like a rock star all winter break, and now that I have school next week, it's time for me to get busy! It's hard to get back to work after a long vacation-I'm not gonna lie! That's why I'm getting to work on reading and studying now so that way I can get back into that mode again.

As I'm reading Walden, I'm starting to get to know Henry David Thoreau a lot better. I'm starting to understand where he's coming from. As of right now, I'm on chapter 4-Sounds. His theories are very profound and easily believable because he gives soo many examples to his cause. Because I'm soo gullible, I am hanging on to every word he is saying. He brings forth beautiful imagery which coincides with his diction. It's like I'm actually there with him-which helps me understand the text even more! His theories not only bring out facts, but, it's also starting to make me question our society and how we are living! If he was alive today, he'd be very disappointed! His theory is, "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!" He teaches us how to not be soo materialistic and to live in the moment! I know for sure that I don't live in the moment! I'm always thinking about tomorrow, or next week, or even next year! It's hard to live by Thoreau's theories-which is sad, to say the least! If he heard all of these things that we do today, like plastic surgery, or working 24/7, he would just die with disgust! I'm completely on his side with this one! It's just ridiculous!!

On a different note, I'm getting to know another person also! Maya Angelou! She is my complete inspiration on writing poems! She is absolutely amazing! Right now, I'm reading her book, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. I'm only on the 2nd chapter and I can say that it's getting good! Her words are soo fluid and vivid....it's just perfect! And her imagery is to die for! The way how she describes the morning air at the Store, for example, is like you're actually there! And she spices it up with her diction-which makes an ordinary place or object twice as better than it actually is! I've read a little bit about her life-which is I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings because it's an autobiography. And I think that she is a strong and brave woman. Going through soo many hardships like she did can break anyone down! I won't tell you too much details because I want you to see for yourself! She is an amazing writer/poet! And I'm glad she is my inspiration!

So, that's it on what's going on in school-work wise. Oh Peeps! There's soo much more stuff that I have to tell you-I've just been soo busy lately! I know! It's the same excuse everybody has been using now-a-days! But, I'm serious: what with all of school and all....there's hardly any downtime anymore. And if there was any, it's sleep! And I know all of you can relate with me on that subject! Well Peeps, I gotta go! I'll talk to you guys later!

*Remember*~It is sometimes better to travel hopefully than to arrive.

(Pst-The highlighted last name is Andy Samberg! and I like him the most out of the 3! I really like him a lot! Those of you who know me well, know that he's all I ever talk about! He's my main crush!)

FINALS are FINALLY over!! (for now!)

What Up Peeps!!!

So, last week, on Wednesday and Thursday, North Canyon High School had to take finals. Ugh! I hate taking the finals!! It always causes stress, tiredness, and premature gray hair!! And we have to do this twice every school year. Yeah. It gets really old, really quick!! Some students go on a rampage about either that class or not even caring about their finals and just winging it!! But, this year, for me, I cared A LOT about my finals!!! The 2 classes that I needed the most studying in was Physics and American History!!

So, I began a long journey of studying my butt off on Tuesday night and Wednesday night!! On Tuesday night, I started studying for my English and Physics final. I had studied from 9 p.m-1 a.m. I call it a "half all-nighter"! Come Wednesday, I was pumped and ready for those 2 finals!! We had a half day that day, so, when I got home, I ate lunch, took a small nap and then began a LONG strenuous study session!! (Try saying that 10x fast! LOL!!) It had began from 3:30 p.m-3:00 a.m!! Some may call call me crazy, but, I call myself determined. I was EXTREMELY tired came 3 a.m. I was studying for Spanish, American History, and Pre-Calc. I had literally given up at 3:00 a.m and had forced myself to get some sleep before my alarm clock would go off at 4:50 a.m for me to get ready for school! When I got to school on Thursday morning, I was ready for ANYTHING to come my way!! Determination and nervousness were the only 2 emotions that I felt throughout these 2 days!! Being a teenager, having JUST 2 emotions, and no more, at the same time is a rare occasion. It's practically a blessing!! But, were these 2 emotions worth it?!

Peeps, did you think ALL of that studying was necessary for a smart girl like me?! {chuckle} If you ask me, I would've looked at you and smiled and said, "You can NEVER study enough for a particular subject in life, because there's a lot to learn in each subject! So many details left out of this textbook and that textbook! We must continue to study to enrich our knowledge and bring forth NEW theories to test!" Do you want to know what my final results were?! Here they are:

Subject,Final, Semester Grade:

IB Spanish 5, 82.00 B, 88.04 B
AP English Lang 5, 74.00 C, 83.02 B
Amer History 1, 85.00 B, 81.32 B
Pre-Calc Hon 1, 92.00 A ,86.90 B
Physics 1, 69.00 D, 76.56 C

So, did I study hard enough?! I think my quarter grades had helped out my Physics grade A LOT!! So, I had passed Science this quarter with a C instead of a D-like last year!! Thank Allah!! It was a lot of stress-I'm not gonna lie!! And with this premature gray hair on my bangs, I have a nice momentum from this experience! I had learned a very valuable lesson so far this year: focus on your QUARTER grades so that way you don't have to be too stressed out come finals! It'll help you out in the long run! Well Peeps, I gotta go!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

*Remember*~Your most memorable dream will come true.

Prayer To Laughter

O Laughter
giver of relaxed mouths

you who rule our belly with tickles
you who come when not called
you who can embarrass us at times

send us stitches in our sides
shake us till the water reaches our eyes
buckle our knees till we cannot stand

we whose faces are grim and shattered
we whose hearts are no longer hearty
O Laughter we beg you

crack us up
crack us up

So, what did you think of this poem?! I like how this poem was set to be a praise to laughter! You know, we be soo busy in our lives that we never take a moment and be grateful for what we already have. Even for the little things-like laughter. But, having such little things can make a difference in a persons' life. Amazing how that works!!

This picture (shown below) is of

the front of our 1st house, here

in Arizona! Well, rather, it's a

picture of our gate leading to our

back yard!!

If you look up, you'll see this view:

Isn't that beautiful?! As you can

see, I love taking pictures of the

sun and it's rays!! Now, as we go

inside the house, and go upstairs

and look down at our balcony, this

is what you'll see:

That's a beautiful view, isn't it?!

I like how everything is all nice and

orderly!! Especially the couches!!

If you come back dowstairs and

look up from where you were, here

is a view of the balcony:

That's a pretty big balcony-isn't

it?! Well, I hope you enjoyed

this little mini tour of my first

house, here in Arizona!!
