So I went to town this weekend and did a little shopping! Okay, I kinda blew my check but hey, it was worth it! :D I haven't gone to town in so long so this was like my shopping high! But I'm in town today...again...and it's the dreaded "Labor Day Sale," dreaded for my bank account anyway. -.- NOOOOOO!!! YEESSSSS!!! grrrr. Definitely gonna end up with -$0000000 after today. At least it's payday week this coming week, whooopppp whooopp!!!!
My haul video finally uploaded on YouTube! The video is below and all the links are under the video so check them out :DD
You know when you move so much but there's always that one place that you loved so much and it was truly home to you. That one place that you missed so much to the point where nothing feels right but that one special place. It's that place where you found love, heartbreak, friends, and you found a state/city/home that you love to the point that leaving it behind broke your heart in pieces. That place where you keep wishing you could move back because it's where your happiness truly lies.
That special place for me is Maryland. It's where I found friends and lost some, I found love and heartbreak, but especially, it's where I truly found a place I belong. Yes, Arizona is great but no other state could ever, ever compare to Maryland.
Maryland was the state where we stayed the longest. It's where I met my best of friends. Where I planned my future, my college, my home. I couldn't and still can't imagine living else where but Maryland, well of course except NYC and Texas :D But that's a whole different ball game.
I just really miss my home so much. :(
This is really not a very upbeat post guys and I'm sorry. I'm just really homesick.
In memory of my high school years, I decided to do a video on some things that I definitely learned while in school. These aren't the top 5 or anything, I learned so much but these were the ones I remembered. I filmed a video of it for YouTube which I will post sometime soon.
But like I said, these were the ones that stood out when I was brainstorming. Of course, there are many more things I learned, which I will probably do another video on or something.
So yeah, here are the five things I learned:
Friends will leave you!! - I'm not saying you won't have anymore friends by the time high school is over. I'm saying that every single friend you have in school, you will lose contact with them after you graduate! Or there will be some drama and they end up not talking to you anymore instead of trying to resolve things. Yeah, that happened. And it really sucked because I considered her a good friend. But people will leave you, no matter if it's high school, college, or when you're an adult. You will lose friends and that's the cycle of life. You may have a lot of friends now, but think about it, who are the realest of those friends? The ones you know you will be friends with for a lifetime?
You will not meet "The One" - This kind of really bugs me, I see a lot of girls putting their HS boyfriends as their #1 priority and they just lose touch with everything around them, such as their grades and their friends. I've lost friends temporarily/permanently because they put so much focus on their boyfriends that we didn't have anything in common anymore. Our conversations were about what that boy did or whatever and I tried to be supportive but I guess it just wasn't enough. If you do have a boyfriend/girlfriend, divide your time with them and with your friends and make sure your friends and s/o gets along!
Get INVOLVED! - Don't be so scared to join sports and clubs in school, they are your gateway to making friends :) I didn't join any sports until junior year and I didn't get involved in clubs until my senior year. I did meet friends but I believe that you will meet more people you have a lot in common with if you get involved in school activities. Don't hide. If you got talent, SHOW it!
Leave DRAMA behind! - So many people love to bring their middle school drama to high school and it's the most annoying thing ever! You're in high school now, so leave that MS stuff behind. And yes, people will create drama in HS but it's your choice to be involved or to just ignore the BS. There will be times when you hear nasty rumors about you but just let it go. And if you can't, then get to the bottom of it and once you do and you resolve it, LEAVE it in the PAST!
HAVE FUN!!! - So many people forget to do this. They forget to relax and enjoy high school because they are so wrapped up in boy drama or girl drama that their high school life is all about that. Yes, there will be times when things get so rough but please don't let that discourage you! Don't be so negative about high school because those rough patches will pass by and after every storm, there's a rainbow. :)
I believe that's basically it you guys!
What about you? What are the things that you learned in high school? What did you love/hate about school? Leave a comment down below :))
Once the video is up and about on YouTube, I will update this post. As of now, its just this little page :)

And the video is finally up and running y'all so here it is!! :D Enjoy!
If only Maroon 5 decided to come out with a song "Monday Morning" :D
"Monday morning rain is falling...ooh yeaahh yeaahh..." - Okay let me not ruin a wonderful song for y'all.
My day just ended and I am free to edit and blog and eat and eat some more. Don't judge me. Haha
Nothing major happened today, just babysat and slept. How was your Monday guys? I hope it was even more eventful than mine was. Did you get your cup of joe this morning? I know I didn't!
By the way, how was your weekend? I didn't really do much. As my previous post on Saturday, I was with friends and Sunday was just church day and kain2x, which in English means eating-eating.
Right now the weather is pretty chilly and it's dark outside. Hopefully it will rain like crazy tonight :D Anyone out there know how to do the "Rain Dance"?? Maybe we should just ask Ted :D (For those who watch HIMYM, they'll get it) Soo, if you see Ted, tell him to dance his silly rain dance.
One reason why I love rain is the cool temperature and the sound of raindrops falling on the window. Another is the cool breeze after a nice rain shower, the weather is just perfect and the sun is just peeking through the clouds.
But of course, with the love of rain, comes the dislike of it. If you live near a farm like I do, the smell of the animals after the rain is just not a good smell. Just nooooo! And if the thunder or wind knocks down the WiFi, I feel so hopeless. Let's pray it won't just do that!
What do you like about rainy days? What don't you like about them?
Now, I have to go finish editing my "5 Things I Learned In High School" before this week is over, depending on how slow the internet it, it should be up very, very soon!
Happy SATURDAY everyone!! :D And yes, technically it's already Sunday but let's just rewind a few hours, okay? :)
Today, I was actually planning on filming my 2nd video of Schoolfest, but a couple of friends from HS visited me so I couldn't do it. Not to worry, I am planning on filming tomorrow 2 videos! That's right people, 2 videos! See how ambitious I am? :P They will be up and running on Tuesday...I hope. Let's see how cooperative iMovie sharing is or the speed of WiFi. So just cross your fingers and how for the best.
I have so many plans and ideas in mind for videos and I am currently brainstorming more topic to blog about here on Wild and Legal. ;)
Okay, back to today. My friends visited me and we just had like a small get-together, had pizza and of course, ice cream. Because apparently Arizona weather decided to rewind and go back to summer. It was sizzling today!! Not particularly the type of weather you would want on a Saturday. Let's pray for fall weather soon!! :)
So, my best friend and I decided to go to the football field after my friends left because living in a one-horse town leaves you with nothing else to do but chill at the field. There we sat, brainstorming of ideas and topics that I can use for YouTube. And that brainstorming turned into a mini photoshoot. And when I say mini, I mean mini-5-pictures-photoshoot. So do enjoy these cute pictures coming your way. ;)
Until next time!

Anyone else reminiscing their high school years?? Haha <3
I can't believe summer has ended! It seriously feels like it was just yesterday when the school year ended. I actually don't go to school, but I do babysit. And the kid that I babysit, his parents are both teachers, so my schedule really seems like I am still in school.
I really can't say I had an adventurous summer because that would be a total lie. I did go to Vegas in the first week of June. It was eventful! I actually stayed in the room every night as my parents played in the casino because, alas, I am not 21 yet -.- But it's okay, I had fun just being in the room and putting on mud clays. We did do a little shopping on first and last day we were in Vegas and yes, you guessed it right, I did go broke! >.< But it was worth it! :)
Also, during summer, I finally, finally passed my driving test!! It took 4 tries before I actually passed and I was soooo happy, I thought I could just run, well in my case, drive all the way back to Maryland! Boy, that would be a really long trip! ^_^
You guys have no idea how excited I was to finally pass! I literally ran from the car to the MVD to get my license! I think people were looking at me weird but I didn't car! I freakin' pass :D I mean, like I said it took 4 tries. But did you know, it took me 2 years?!? It really did! Y'all are probably thinking, "She probably a bad driver." Haha I don't think I am. I am a pretty good driver actually, people trust me to drive them and their cars :D
Anyway, you know those quotes or pictures that goes around saying things about adventurous during summer doesn't really happen to many people. Some, yes, but not as many as you would expect.
I don't really know where this post is going. Haha. So let me just post some pictures that I have taken in Vegas! <3

I wanna live in your socks so I can be with you every step of the way.
If I were a stop light, I'd turn red everytime you passed by, just so I could stare at you a bit longer.
So today is the beginning of my Back-2-School Series : Schoolfest! I figured I'd hop on the train and join the spirit of back-to-school.
Even though I'm not in school at the moment, I actually kind of excited to film this series. It definitely brings back a lot of memories from the high school years, especially the times I spent with the best of friends. There are times when I wish I could actually go back to school with my friends and I know I'm not the only one. :D But I know I have to grow up now and leave those high school years behind haha.
So I filmed a "What's In My School Bag?" video yesterday and it's up and running on YouTube, which I will input the video at the end of this post.
The items that I mentioned in the videos are linked bellow as well, but the others I just found an alternative because I couldn't find them anymore.
Speaking of back-to-school, is anyone else as excited as I am for fall season????
I cannot wait! I truly miss the chilly weather, the layered outfits, the tall boots, the beanies, the scarves! And of course, FOOTBALL SEASON!!!! Go Cowboys!! :DD
