Teen Arts

Today, I went to a little art fair at a local college containing artwork from people from grades 7-12 in my area.

It contained many pieces of art including sculptures, photography, art, dance, and music.

One of my projects was selected, but it wasn't one of my best works.

But, it got selected to go to another gallery somewhere else in my state.

I'm glad that it got selected, don't get me wrong, but I know I have other work that is better than what got chosen.

Also, throughout the day, there wwere workshops on art. I only got to do two which were Japanese fish printing and fashion illustration.

I absolutely loved it.

Today was an overall great day :)

"Right Through Me"

Water Droplets

It's Been a While

I think I'll

start posting on this blog more.

More about the little things in life people always overlook.

And probably make it more fashion and art and whatever related because that's why I made it in the first place.

There will always bee the occassional rant in there too somewhere.

-Nikki

I miss you.

Woah,

It's been such a long time since I wrote on this blog.

I feel like I've neglected it for too long. I'm sorry haha. I've been using tumblr way too much haha.

Well, I'm half way done with high school.

I did okay the first two marking periods. I still haven't reached my goal of a GPA of/above 4.0, but I'm almost there (first marking period=3.97 dammit haha).

I played basketball this year, had a terrible season, but I've improved my shooting by a lot compared to last year.

I've made a lot more friends and gotten closer with a few people which is nice.

I've learned that I'm becoming more depressed than I ever have before, but I have my art and photography to help me out so I guess I'm good (if that makes sense).

I talked to my old friend today about what happened to us before. We pretty much walked around the entire school and had a talk.

I still have feelings for him, but I don't think he does for me since everything ended so badly. I don't know.

I'm just going to carry on with my life and go with the flow of things. Whatever happens, happens.

September

Ever since I started middle school,

September has always been a difficult month for me.

Not because of school, but because of family.

A couple of years ago, my childhood friend commited suicide at a young age. The anniversary of her death was last week. I miss her everyday and I wish I had the chance to see her more often before she had passed away because I just miss her a lot.

A couple of years later, my great Lola (grandmother) went into a coma in September I think and then later on in January, she passed away and went to heaven.

And yesterday, my Lolo (grandfather) suffered from a stroke.

I just pray that he's going to be okay and that he's safe in the Philippines.

I wish I could get on a plane and go and visit him to see how he's doing because he's my Lolo and I love him very much.

First Week as a Sophomore

I have an 100 average in all of my classes

besides Biology because that was the only class so far that I have taken and recieved a quiz from (I got a 90 on it :P).

But overall, I have an A+ average meaning that my GPA is a 4.5

And I wanna keep it that way.

I recently became the President of my orchestra, but my job really, is doing nothing.

So I'm Class President and Symphony Orchestra President woot woot!

-Nikki

First Day as a Sophomore

First day of school,

Probably one of the best first days I've had.

I met a new girl named Shakira (idk how she spells her name tho) which made my day.

My Biology teacher doesn't care and is chill and is funny,

Graphics and Photo teacher is cool,

my Geometry teacher is a subsitute for someone on maternity leave and he worked in construction before so he doesn't know what he's doing,

Honors US History1 teacher knows what he's doin,

Orchestra Conductor is the same as last year, easy A+, plus, I was supposed to be in a higher level orchestra but I had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts so I have a high chance of being first stand/ possibly first chair this year :D

Russian teacher is the same as last year, easy A+,

English teacher gets distracted so easily and English is my best subject,

and Gym is Gym.

Considering I really only have to try in one class this year,  is great.

Bangin'

Bangs.

My mumzy cut them today for me :)

Yesterday I went to the beach, got to meet up with some of my best friends,

and I got MAJOR tan lines.

-Nikki

My tan lines and bad lighting and long bangs :(

My new bangs and good lighting :D

Day 30. FINALLY

Your Reflection

Dear Me,

I see a girl, tan with brown/black hair.

One who is bigger than what she should be and taller than she should be.

I keep on reminding myself everyday that I need to eat less and healthier.

But idk what happens.

I honestly see myself as a person who doesn't meet their full potential in a lot of things, like school, drawing, etc.

And I don't know what else to say to myself.

But I am a consistent person and I have proof.

I wrote a letter each day for 30 days.

I find that an accomplishment.

So,

I see a filipino, tan, short, chubby, girl who is consistent with what she does, eats more than what she needs, and needs to work harder at everything.

Love Always,

-Nikki

Day 29.

The Person You Want to Tell Everything to, But Are Afraid To.

Dear Mumzy,

I know I tell you a lot, but I haven't really told you every single little detail because I'm scared.

There's a lot to say,but I don't want to tell you, or pretty much a lot of people.

And I don't think I'll ever be able to tell you

Love Always,

-Nikki

Day 28.

Someone That Changed Your Life

To all of you,

I can't honestly say that only 1 person changed my life, but many people have.

From watching TV, to meeting people at school, almost each person made me realize that you can't always get what you want, don't be mean to others because it'll comme back right at you, etc. etc.

I've met so many great people this year, who've taught me very valuable lessons in life,

and I thank all of you for that.

Love Always,

-Nikki

Day 15.

The Person You Miss the Most

(I know this is late, but I was trying to figure out what I did wrong in the letter, becuase the numbers weren't matching with the title things.)

Dear You,

You know who you are.

I've talked to you before and said it, but

I really miss you. A lot.

Love Always,

-Nikki

Day 27.

The Friendliest Person You Knew for Only One Day

Dear Abby,

I only met you for one day at the party for Tito Boyet and Tita Agnes.

Just wanted to say that you're a pretty cool and awesome person,

and you are a unique individual, and I LOVE your obsession for Avenged Sevenfold.

Hahaha.

Well you were nice to me and I didn't even know you.

And then my mom told me that our moms went to high school together.

Fun stuff.

Love Always,

-Nikki

Day 26.

The Person I Gave a Pinky Promise To

I honestly don't remember giving out pinky promises ever (yeah I'm cool like that).

So this letter thing can't work out.

Ugh WHY?

I haven't written a good letter in so long.

Love Always,

-Nikki

Day 24.

The Person You Know That is Going Through the Worst of Times

Dear People,

Well honestly, everyone's going through the worst of times right now.

It doesn't have to drastic, but everyone likes to "think" it is.

All I can say is, pick your head up and get over it,

because whatever you're dealing with, sulking around won't make it better.

Do something about it.

Love Always,

-Nikki

p.s. most of these "letters" aren't really turning out to be letters :/

Day 23.

The Person Who Gave You Your Favorite Memory

To my friends,

I can't decide which memory is my favorite because we have so much.

But honestly, all of my favorite memories are with my friends and you all know who you are.

I should write em down though..

-Shannon getting hyped on sugar

-Seeing Kate for the first time in like 10 years

-Hanging with Jenn at the Sculpture Garden

-Being with Sette (hahahha)

-Chillin on the beach at Brighton with Holly, Erini, Missy, and Tanya

-Eating ice cream cake at the lake (RHYME) and having a photoshoot afterwards

There's more, but these are my top favorites.

I just wanna thank you guys for being so awesome and cool like that haha.

Love Always,

-Nikki

Day 22.

The Last Person You Kissed

Well...

I've never had my first kiss yet.

So again, writing this letter would be pointless.
