Looking within-MAKEUP!

Alright everyone, need to know, what do all of you think about makeup and use of it?

please comment saying if you are against or for makeup being used by girls as a tool to embrace their already good parts (like eyes).

Thank you,

Trip to Japan by Elisa

This past summer I went to Kizugawa, Japan as an exchange student. It was an experience I will never forget. When I first got there I was surprised because Japan was nothing like I expected, Japan had cool vending machines in every corner, their food was different and their air is very clean. Everyday we would go to exciting places like temples and shrines. One day we went to The Golden Temple, which is a temple that is made out of gold, and we went to a temple were there was a giant Buddha, and one of the places that I liked the most was a public park where there are deer all over the place, and they let them wonder around, and people can feed them. Even though the flight was about 10 to 12 hours the trip was worth it. Another cool thing we did was meet the mayor of Kizugawa city, Kizuagawa is a new city about 2 or 3 years old, and they combined 3 cities Kizu, Kamo, and Yamashiro, the mayor of the city was a woman and I thought she was really nice to receive us and let us talk to her.

Boys and the attention they give and get

Is there ever a time when you feel that as a girl you have to sit there an look pretty for a guy to approach you? Does that ever get you any attention?

and honestly,
What's so great about a guy paying attention to you?

First Day of School by Elisa Aquino

This year is my first year at Santa Monica High School. The first day was very crazy because it was a big school and many people trying to find their class. If next year you will be going to high school and you are scared you shouldn’t. Remember when you were in fifth grade and people would tell you that middle school was a big and that things will be different, but when you “survived” your first day it was like any other normal day, well high school is the same, it is just like any other school but bigger. The best thing about high school is that there are many clubs and sports you can be part of. Another cool thing is that you meet so many new people from different schools and grades. See you next year at SAMO.
