My perfect Saturday would consist of no worries of school. I’ll be stress-free and have things I want to do with friends and by myself. My Perfect Saturday would be separated into two different parts. The first part is going out to eat with my friends.

We would meet up somewhere and take public transportation to the restaurant. Catching up on life and school while the bus/train is moving. We would talk about the restaurant, not a fancy or super popular one, we were going to go to; What the restaurant is most famous for and what we are planning to order based on what we saw on their website. After we get off the train/bus, we would take a 10-ish minute walk the rest of the way. With no phones to distract us, we would talk some more. Commenting on what we say on the way to the restaurant and reminiscing about our past, the good old times. When we see the name of the restaurant up ahead, we get excited. We go in and settle on a table. Then, we order our food after looking at their menu and get things we want to try and share. As the food comes and we experience the amazing smell and stunning visuals. Then, we would split and enjoy our meal.

After our meal, we pay and leave. We take another 10-ish minutes walk again without phone distractions and talk and laugh until we reach our next destination. It will either be a boba shop or cafe. A store with an interior that has a cozy and warm atmosphere to compliment its drinks and desserts. Drinking and savoring the sweetness of the desserts, we would talk some more and chill out. Then we would go home. That would be the first part of my perfect Saturday.

The second part of my perfect Saturday would be beading and reading. When I get back home from eating out with my friends, I would bead. Finding a pattern on Pinterest for minutes longer than I want to and uploading it to a drawing platform. I grab the necessary beads for this mini project and a long piece of string. Then I start weaving the beads together according to the pattern and cross off each step to keep track of where I am from the pattern. While doing this, I would listen to korean R&B like I’m Gonna Love You by D.O and Wonstien and Want to go back by Lay Blue and Helen. Or maybe a true crime listenable on YouTube by Stephnie Soo who is a Mukbanger that tells the story of true crimes in a very captivating way. The mini project might take longer than I hoped so I will finish it tomorrow.

Last but not least, I would read until I fell asleep. Since I found more books that interest me, it makes me want to read. I would read an ebook on my phone preferably by Jennifer Lynn Barnes because she is by far my favorite author and I love two of her series called The Naturals and The Inheritance Game. The book might make me stay up all night because I can’t put it down, but it would be worth it, and eventually I would fall into a restful night's sleep.

And that concludes what would be my perfect Saturday: Eating out with friends to coming home to bead and read.

My top three values I live by are responsibility, passion, and love. Responsibility, passion and love are values that all coexist in my working/school life and my personal life. These values are here to keep myself well disciplined, persistent, and compassionate.

Responsibility is a value I live by as it helps me keep myself well disciplined and to work hard. In school, living by responsibility helps me to fulfill my work and assignments on time while giving my best efforts doing it. Doing it allows me to be on track on things and to bring myself accountable for what I have to do. In my personal life, I have to be a responsible person. Basic things like cleaning after myself and coming to an event on time, respecting boundaries and more. With the value of passion, it allows me to be persistent and to be serious about the things I like to do. It’s quite charismatic in a way. In school, if there is a topic I really want to talk about and learn about, I become passionate about it. I get invested in the process which allows me to work efficiently and ideas naturally flow to my brain. It works the same with my club in school. Being passionate about art and diy which allows me to get things done as club president. As for the value of love, it is towards anyone and doesn't have to be in a romantic relationship. Being able to love is so important to me because it allows me to show feelings that I appreciate someone and I value and cherish them. For example, the five types of love languages, how one shows their love to someone,: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. For me, it's giving and receiving gifts. As a person who does arts and crafts, I love to make things. Right now I am into beading, so I make beaded things and I give them to my friend as my way to show my love and appreciation to them.

To wrap this all up, I want to connect all of my values to the present and to my school life. As president of MSC, an art and D.I.Y club at Bal, I have the responsibility, passion, and love for my position and overall purpose of my club. I have the responsibility of making plans, slide shows, making sure my officers are doing what they need to do, keeping inventory of the supplies we have, making google forms, typing out emails, and more. I’ve done all of this and I do not think that it is so much work because I am passionate about what I do. I love what we do and it gets things done. All my values come full circle as I have the responsibility to complete a task, but it is not so much work because I have passion for what I do and I love what I am doing. So, overall that is why I live by those three values, to keep me sane, disciplined and hardworking.

My dream house wouldn’t be something so extravagant, so extra or over the top. I would like a cozy house that is within convenient distance from malls, grocery stores, convenient stores, parks, cafes, and such. In a neighborhood where it is clean and crime rates are low. The house would be in a “well off” type of neighborhood and the house is of modern style. Light gray house with white or off-white interiors. Big windows to let in warm natural light. Wooden floors and stairs for a more cozy feeling. Lastly, Greenery in front of the house and many plants in the house add color.

The house would be two stories tall. The first floor will be like a condo. It will be my designated work floor with one bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, a small studio, and a display/storage room. This is where I would make beading things. I would make it in the small studio and keep all my materials and projects on display so it all organized and pretty. All lined up in the wall sorted my material type and color with a table with built in drawers in the middle of the room for convenience. The walls will have shelves where I will put the many tubes of seed beads of all sorts of sizes and colors organized by color. Other sections that will be organized will be paints, paper, adhesives, small organizer box drawers, string, and tools. Other than that, my finished products will be displayed in glass casings along with my supplies.

The second floor would be bigger. It will have a living room, dining room, 3 bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen, a pantry, an office. It will be the floor where I would work and live with two of my closest friends. In the kitchen, I would want a pantry because I’ve always wanted a pantry to store ingredients and more importantly, snacks. In my office, I would want a cool pc setup. Two monitors and RGB lighting.

The dining tables, chairs, and coffee table will be made out of wood. Maybe out of walnut wood. A nice autumn ashy brown. Couches would be made of black leather. In my room, there will be an area where I can sit comfortably next to the window. A perfect place to read and drink something on a cold and rainy day. My bed will have navy blue blankets and matching bed sheets and pillow covers. Over my bed, there will be something similar to curtains, but for my bed. A little safe space for myself. My walls will have pictures of my friends and other aesthetic pictures all nicely decorated. Also, small and bright fairy lights with fake leafy vines surrounding the pictures. Also, I will have a bookshelf full of my favorite books like The Natural series and the Girl Online series. Books will be organized by series and color to make everything more neat and organized.

And that concludes on what my dream house would look like, a two floor house for my crafts projects and for living.

2022 was standing on a moving walkway in the airport. Life is moving me forward even though I am standing still and simply existing. I am still the same and time has passed, bringing me to the “future”-now-present.

2023 was abandoning my old playlists on Spotify and creating a new one. I will occasionally  listen to it like how I will look back to 2022 and reminisce and then go back to my new playlist, the present. And maybe transferring a song or two from my only playlist to my new one because it was something new that is a part of my life and is now a part of my in the new year.
Now that it is a new year andI look back to my “old playlist”, a lot has happened in my life (so many songs!). For example, I started Junior year, I became club president of MSC, I helped build MSC from the ground up, I started volunteering, I have three challenging classes, I read a lot more than I used to, I went to Lake Tahoe and experienced snow for the first time, I started a little business for my craft and almost earned $100, I learned a bit of coding in GDA, I went on my first field trip in high school, and I finally got my own debit card. Overall, it was quite eventful and stressful.

Something I want to improve in my life is to have a healthy balance between school life and personal life. I started to focus a lot on building my club and somewhat neglected my responsibilities for school that allowed me to be on top of my studies. So, my so-called New Years resolution would be improving on balancing my school and personal life and staying on top of my school work because it's my Junior year and it's going to be really important for college apps.

Something I wish for the year to come for myself is to pass all my classes with As and pass my AP Physics exam with at least a 3 or 4. I just need to do well in school and have good grades. That is all I want for myself. As for a group, it would be making Mini Soda Club (MSC) successful. Having an adequate amount of members and having more money to get more supplies because art and crafts supplies are expensive. I know we just started and many things need to be changed and improved, so I hoped to make it run and operate more smoothly in the near future. As for the world and planet, I hope the pandemic stops. People would not die from it anymore, people would not have to stay quarinited after contracting the virus, preventing them from going outside and having a social life, and not having so many limitations on where people can go. If the virus goes bye bye, then that would be great. No more worrying and finally being able to have a normal social life and life in general.
