New Books!!!
I have more books. Yes.....Don't judge me!
1. Oh.My.Gods by Tera Lynn Childs: 11 chapters, 261 pages, estimate 24 pgs./chap.
Phoebe Castro wants to get a scholorship to USC, she has to have a stellar season in track. Her plans are changed when her mom decides to marry a man and move to Greece! Phoebe is stuck on a secret island in the Aegean Sea while attending an exclusive academy. With her stepdad as her headmaster and all the kids decendants from Greek gods, she knows that this will make high school look like a dream! She decides that getting the scholorship is the only way out of Greece, but training and maintaining her grades will be grueling, even without a sabotaging stepsister from Hades and a gorgeous guy who might be her Achilles heel! Although, trying to find her place with the gods will be her toughest coarse yet!
2. DupliKate by Cherry Cheva: 23 chapters, 242 pages, estimate 11 pgs./chap.
By 3 a.m., Kate Larson had done more work that day then a senior in a week. For years she has been wanting to get into Yale, but is a package including being under-rested and exausted. But when she comes face-to-face with her face-and her body attached-which is on the other side of the room? That would be Kate's computer-generated twin. Kate has no idea why she is here or how to put here back, until she thinks that it might be the answer to her prayers. Or can it turn into a living nightmare?
3. Cindy Ella by Robin Palmer: 14 chapters, 260 pages, estimate 19 pgs./chap.
Prom fever has infected L.A.-espessially Cindy's two stepsisters and her overly Botoxed stepmother. She seems to be the only one who is immune to it. But her anti-prom letter in the school newspaper turns her into Queen of the Freaks instead of close the gap between popular kids and the other students. Everone thinks that she is commiting social suicide exept her two best friends-yoga goddess India and John Hughes-the most popular senior in Castle Hights High and Adam Silver, Cindy's crush. But, with a little bit of help from an unexpected sorce-and the riht pair of shoes-she realizes that she can still have a happily ever after.
4. Little Miss Red by Robin Palmer: 13 chapter, 251 pages, estimate 19 pgs./chap.
When Sophie Green goes to spend Spring Break at her grandmother's house in Florida, she never dreams she'll end up catching the eye of the hottest guy she'd ever seen. As mush as Sophie craves excitement, she's a seatbelt-wearing, three-square-meals-a-day, goodgirl at heart....She doesn't even have the guts to wear Dark as Midnight nail polish. But Sophie dreams of being the girl who isn't afraid to live on the edge. So when a motorcycle-riding hottie calls her "Red" and flashes a wolfish grin that practically screams Danger, what else is a nice girl supposed to do but jump at the chance to walk on the wild side?
They all look like amazing books and I cannot wait to read each one! enjoy! luv u giis! Strawberrie <3-

New Balance shoes
Haul-10 (no makeup)
- Just Ella: this book is by Margaret Peterson Haddix. here is the blurb: You've heard the fairytale: a glass slipper, Prince Charming, happily ever after... Welcome to reality: royal genealogy lessons, needlepoint, acting like "a proper lady", and-worst of all-a prince who is not the least bit interesting, and certainly not charming. As soon-to-be princess Ella deals with her new found status, she comes to realize she is not "your majesty" material. But breaking off the royal engagement is no easy feat, especially when you're crushing on another boy in the palace....For Ella to escape, it will take intelligence,determination, and spunk-and no ladylike behavior allowed! this book is number 47 and is the 5th book i have read or checked out.
- Girl of the Moment: by Lizabeth Zindel. here is the blurb: When Lily's internship at the Museum of Modern Art falls though, she thinks her summer is ruined. then her dad hooks her up- with once-in-a-lifetime chance to intern with Sabrina Snow-16 year old Hollywood starlet and the girl of the moment. From the pages of Party Weekly magazine, Sabrina's life looks like a nonstop merry-go-round of glamorous parties, red-carpet events, and designer clothes. But Lily soon learns that being Sabrina isn't easy-and neither is being Sabrina's intern. i thought of the name and was not excited but when i saw the cover i was so happy! it is number 16 and the 3rd book i have checked out.
- Geek Charming: this book is by Robin Palmer. Here is the blurb: Dylan Schoenfield is the princess of L.A.'s posh Castle Heights High. She has the coolest boyfriend, the most popular friends, and to top it all off, a bran-new "It" bag that everyone covets. But when she accidentally tosses her bag in the fountain, this princess comes face-to-face with her own personal frog: self professed film geek Josh Rosen. In return for rescuing Dylan's bag, Josh convinces Dylan to let him film her for his documentary on high school popularity. Reluctantly, Dylan lets F-list Josh into her A-list world, and is shacked to find that nerds can be pretty cool. As the queen bee of Castle Heights royalty helps Josh turn from frog to prince, she is shocked to find herself becoming friends with a geek and liking it. But when Dylan's so-called prince charming of a boyfriend dumps her flat, her life and social status come to a crashing halt. Can Dylan pull her life together with the help of Josh to build their own happily-ever-after? as soon as i saw this name, i jumped inside because i love those kinds of books! it is number 11 and is the 4th book i have checked out.
Bath and Body Works:
- the 5 for $5 PocketBacs. i got the Fresh Picked series. this includes Strawberry, Cherry, Blueberry, Watermelon, and Apple.
- i got my favorite scent in a body splash: Midnight Pomegranate.
- the other splash i got was in Country Chic
- i got one mini shower gel in Carried Away which i will be purchasing in the full size, thank you.....
Forever XXI:
- the first thing i got was a nice lengthy necklace with multiple silver chains. no charms of pendants but it is pretty awesome in itself. it cost $6.80.
- the other necklace i got is a mini locket that had a picture of the Eiffel Tower and it even opens. the price was $2.80. i only spent $10.26!

Theft-This is Serious
i was wearing it to school one day when my friends were joking about how they are going to "steal it from Me because if its beauty". one "friend" was not joking. only three girls out of six were at school that day. when we needed to change out for P.E., i went to the big bathroom with SAS. i wore my ring and took it off while i was changing. afterwards, everyone had left, and it was only SAS and me. i put my ring down and went into a smaller stall and went to the bathroom. i am not used to wearing a rings so i forgot it. i was wondering where it was until SAS wore it to school on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i asked her if i could see it, she said "No it is not yours!" if that does not say "Hey, I stole this from you!" than what does? she will not look me in the eye and always gives me guilty looks. that ring was so expensive for me.
have you ever had something stolen from you???
BTW she is not my friend anymore. SAS if you are reading this, i will not miss you next year...
luv u giis! strawberrie

Freaking AWESOME Brand!
- is afordable
- has good quality
- smells good
- is not chunky
- has very good pigmentation
- is over all wonderful?
then you have been searching for Jordana. i really wanted to try something and i found a $2 blood red lip gloss that has a super glossy finish but looks like a lipstick underneath one.
it has some glitter, but it is not chunky at all. it also smells like Laffy Taffy without the chemical after scent. i took the applicator out and expected it to be very sheer and chunky, but it had so much pigmentation that i almost jumped with surprise! definitely try it out.
PS. the color i have is 09 Gorgeous

Four Hours of HOMEWORK????
this is a major issue for me because, being a kid, we need to have fun and be treated like we are middle schoolers. there is a lady that is subbing for a teacher tomorrow who is in masters degree college and has less homework that the sixth graders. teachers usually treat middle schoolers like they are in first grade or a junior in high school.
how does everyone cope with this? i am in seventh grade. i have to study often for Final Exams. not just a test but a 14-page long science test(no joke our teacher told us today). when high schoolers talk about finals and i join they are always surprised that i have finals.
there is so much pressure to be perfect at the school when they are telling parents that they are teaching the kids to be themselves. sometimes it does not feel true.
sorry if this is boring but it is important to me. bye giis strawberrie

The Birthday Boy!!!
Accomplished Item # 1/2/3/4
i finished the following: 16. the Pursuit of Happiness 36. Marley and Me 37. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe/Prince Caspian/The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
the pursuit of happiness was really good. Will and Jayden Smith were pretty amazing actors (isn't Jayden cute with his little afro???) the directing and little bits of fun were really meaningful.
Marley and Me was a super cute movie! it is sweet how he just grew up with the people and died with the people that he loved. the movie actually made me and the rest of my family cry! the only person who didn't watch it was my big brother.
The Narnia movies were amazing! they did not follow the books very closely but it was just as good as them. i cant wait to own them and watch them again!
Update: i just got 2 books yesterday. they are both by Robin McKinley and the first one that i am reading is Beauty: a Retelling of Beauty and the Beast. the other book by her is Pegasus. i cant wait until i finish these and start another one. thank you friend for sending me the list!!!
see u giis! strawberrie

Birthday Blog!!!
- funny incident: i was delusional and knew that someone or something would scare me. then as i was gazing over my pillow...a gray face comes rushing at me! it was my baby kitty(not really). so yes i was scared to death by my cat! gotta love her.
we had popcorn dipped in melted vanilla frosting. i love this combination. i will post something about it soon. then i could not sleep for so long.
- just saying, i was not scared, i just could not sleep. it might have been the bed i was sleeping on or the fact that my stomach was eating itself alive from too little acid(bases burn more than acids sometimes).
the next morning, we were supposed to wake up at 10:00am but we woke up at nine so we had an hour to kill. we decided to watch Spongebob and then played keep away with my little brother. at 10, we did our makeup, put the bed away, and got dressed. then a fried came. my brother was changing his bed so that is what he was doing. as soon as that was done, we all went(except my b. brother) to India's Clay Oven after we picked up another friend. my dad met us at the buffet and we all ate so much food.
then, we went to see the movie Rango. it was so super cute. then afterwards, we went home and hung out. for a cake, i had a cheesecake with strawberries. then for presents...
- from on friend, i got a $25 gift card for Target.
- another friend got me a $10 gift card for Walmart, two slinky bracelets, and two nail polishes from n.y.c. cosmetics in 206B East Village and 247 Prince Street.
- i got the nail polish from n.y.c. cosmetics 105 Starry Silver (glitter) from the friend who gave me an eyeliner in 925 Sable from N.Y.C. Cosmetics, Hard Candy creme glitter eyeshadow/eyeliner in pixie, n.y.c. cosmetics lip glider lip gloss in 519U Park Ave Pink, and Smackers eyeshadow in Pool Party Blues.
- the friend who slept over gave me a cow (now named Hobo), candy, a ballerina necklace in a black tutu on a silver chain, and a new journal. it is red with pale green polka dots and a wavy chocolate brown stripe across the top.
- my little brother went to Walmart and Gave me a little candle in my favorite scent, "Honeysuckle".
the last present is still on its way and i cant wait for it to arrive. i got the card from R.R. and i thought that it was so cute and heartfelt. thank you for the earasers too, R.R! then after we did presents, we wet upstairs to my brother's and my room to play "pass-the-fuzzy-ball-without-destroying-Strawberrie's-room". but then everyone had to go home. so it was pretty fun and i hope that we can get together soon.
