I haven't written in a really long time and I'm lying in bed sick, so I figured why not do the Perfect Imperfections tag? I saw this going around YouTube and I was like "THIS IS SO INTERESTING" so I'm doing one of my own, just with words, not a YouTube video.
So in case any of you don't know what this tag is, you list three things you don't like about yourself, and another three things that you do love about yourself. Ready? All right!
My 3 Imperfections:
1. Acne
If you've read my blog post on how I'm working on clearing up my acne, you know that this is one of my biggest insecurities. I don't really mind it anymore, but the scarring and redness is still there. I don't like using makeup because I'm just paranoid about breaking out even more and my skin being ruined from makeup. So I don't really cover it up, so it's out there for everyone to see. I suffered from acne ever since the fourth or fifth grade, and it's still here, and I'm nearing the end of the seventh grade. People judge from the first impression, and usually the first impression is of the face or the body, and acne is just not that great of a first impression. But I've learned to live with it and I know that it will eventually be gone!
2. My belly
Haha this is one I'm hesitant to put up, but I know a lot of people have this problem so I figured, why not? I'm a pretty muscular person, but I do have some extra chub on my stomach. I'm trying to lose it, but I mean, it doesn't bother me too much. I still look fine in shirts and stuff, just not tight things. I'm trying to start eating healthier and work out a little bit more.
3. My fingernails
I have a hybrid of my parent's fingernails. I like mine overall (their texture, strength, ect.), I just don't like the shape of them. They're pretty circular, except my pinkies, so when I put nail polish on it doesn't look as beautiful as some peoples' who have really nice and shaped fingernails. This one was really random.
My 3 "Perfections"! I see more positive things within me rather than my flaws, so this is just a little bit easier to come up with.
1. I LOVE MY HURR
My hair is really low maintenance, I can just wash and condition and let it air dry and it would look just fine. Nice and straight with a little inward wave at the ends. I've been having some problems with oily roots but that's usually because of the summer approaching. It's so easy to deal with and it grows pretty fast. I have some natural highlights and it's golden brown on my black to dark brown hair. I love that. I used to hate it, but I really like it now.
2. My personality
I've been told to be funny and easy to talk to. I think that's a pretty nice quality to have and I like those qualities in other people, too. I can be myself with others, I don't cover up who I am. I used to be sooooooooooooooo shy, whether that be me dancing with my friends or acting. Now I'm just like BRING THISSS OOOOONNNNNNN because it's something I love to do. I love being crazy and acting and finding ways to expressive. I'm usually agreeable, but I can be stubborn too. I don't like being weak, vulnerable. I like taking charge but I follow too. I have flaws in my personality - tons of them- but I feel like I have enough positive sides of me to balance it out.
3. My shoe size.
I wear size seven to an eight (in the US) and I know that it's the average shoe size for women, but they're just really easy to find shoes for me that are flattering, The funny thing is that I've had the same shoe size ever since I was like nine or ten, and I'm twelve now (almost thirteen!)
I hope you enjoyed that, you know me a lot better now!!!

I'm Moving...!
I'm not talking about moving to a different website or anything - I'm physically moving to another state of the US. I live on the east coast as of now, but in the summer I would be moving to New Mexico. I'm not going to say where, as city wise - but I'm okay with saying the state because the population is pretty large and I feel pretty safe about it.
Background:
I moved to the States when I was seven, because my mom got transferred here from South Korea. I was pretty young then, so I wasn't too scared about getting used to a new place - my world was small enough to think that I would make friends super easily, that no one would discriminate me, as long as I got past the language barrier. I love my life here - I'm twelve (thirteen in three months!), and I've adjusted very well even though I switched to a different school in sixth grade. In both of my schools. I have been very blessed and lucky to be surrounded by such caring and loving people. I lost most contact with my elementary (first school in the States) friends, but I've kept in touch with my two best friends, but we're neighbors.
My current school is amazing - truly a once-in-a-lifetime-chance. It's so unique, so amazing, so fantastic, and I am so, incredibly grateful to have had the chance to attend here. I'm really sad about leaving it, because I have made so many phenomenal friends. I promised all of them to Skype every day.
Where I live, where I have and am attending, my friends have made my life awesome and so lovely - I'm so, superbly blessed to have met and known them.
My fears and excitements of the future:
I'm excited to move. Yes, I have talked about my sadness about leaving my current home, friends, and school - but I am ready for something new. I love here- truly, but I'm also so excited for the weather at New Mexico, their culture, the food and mainly everything about it. New Mexico is a lot different from where I live, and I can't wait to learn everything about it.
Of course, I'm nervous for a new school, making new friends. What if I can't find a friend? What if I'm considered totally different, strange? Honestly, I am terrified. I don't know the schedules and the routines of the school, or anything about it. But I don't really have a choice - so I suck it up. I'm usually a friendly person , I've always been able to make friends, so I'm just mainly counting on my past for assurance.
I'll definitely update after I move... I hope everything goes well, and wish me good luck!

How-To: Memorize A Lot Of Vocabulary!
Hey you guys!
I thought I would share some techniques I learned over the years from learning vocabulary for school and just to know the English language (which is my second language). Please keep in mind though, this might not work for you. But it works so, so well for me that I thought I should tell it to the rest of the world.
I am a visual person, and I learn really well through interactive techniques or being able to use my hands or body to learn. But writing down information and repetitively studying it works fantastically too.
You will need:
1: Flash cards! Or pieces of paper, but I think flash cards are the best because they aren't too large and you can take them anywhere. I usually use the 3x5 ones.
2: A pencil.
3: Your completely focused brain.
Write down the word on one side, and the translation or definition on the other. Do this for all of your words - I know it's ridiculously tedious, but science proves that writing down information helps you retain it three times better than just saying it out loud!
After writing down all the words, go through every single one and put the ones you know on one side and the ones you don't one the other. Now, don't try to tell yourself that you got that last one right, you just needed a quick hint from the card. NO! If you think that you got it the slightest bit wrong or needed help, put it in the "I don't know" pile! This will help you memorize them for the better. And if you don't know a word - please try to keep the definition or translation in your head. PLEASE!
Leave the cards that you know on the side and pick up the ones you don't know. Go through them again. Put the ones you know on the "I know" side and if you don't know it, put it in another pile. Trust me, the "I know" pile will continue to grow. Until you don't even have an "I don't know" pile, keep going, repeating this step.
Then once you don't have the "I don't know" pile, go through the "I know" pile three to five times, making no mistakes. This will help you remember the words after the period of time.
The reason I ask you to leave the "I know" pile alone is so you can be sure that you have retained the information after thinking of the words you don't know. You are able to pay more attention to the "I don't know" pile and learn and memorize more quickly. This is very effective.
On the day of the exam or quiz, just lightly go over the words, don't panick! You've worked really hard to study.. Enjoy it!
TIPS and TRICKS!!
Find relations to words that you already know to ones you don't. So an example would be: the Spanish word "contra" means against. How I would remember it is using the English word "contrast" - which sound alike and the meanings are similar. This will help you like it helped me - I promise! But don't over think it - use the ones that come to you naturally or with little effort. After time, making these relations will be so easy!
Don't think that once you go through everything and know it all, that it's over. Keep lightly going through the cards again, when you're avaliable.
Get a good night's sleep, and eat a light but filling breakfast on the day of the exam. It will help you concentrate and feel awake.
GOOD LUCK!!

My Skincare Routine... And Treating My Acne.
Hello, lovelies!
You probably don't know that I have acne - and for quite a while too. I've had acne for maybe three years. My acne has been a constant source of insecurities for me. At first, it was majorly centered on my forehead. Then it spread down to my cheek area. Then over the course of the next year, it had left my forehead, and now I had whiteheads and cystic pimples on my cheeks. I also have oily skin, and medium-sensitive skin if you are wondering.
I've used a lot of expensive products for my acne - Murad, Proactiv, ect. Yet none of these managed to get rid of my acne. For a while, I thought I was going to have acne forever. Then I realized that I wasn't consistent with my routine - sometimes I would just wash my face with water or skip washing my face at night overall - which is terrible! Your skin heals at night, while you sleep, and that's when you have your best chance of healing your acne, and it's important to make sure it is clean. Then I started washing my face, toning, and moisturizing every morning and night. I went through a lot of high end and drugstore products, until I saw ilikeweylie's video (she's hilarious, go watch her sometime!) on YouTube, on her skincare. It involved Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Line, and that's exactly what I tried out.
I use three products daily, two more every other day.
Daily, I use Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Foaming Scrub, Rapid Clear 2-in-1 Fight & Fade Toner (It fights acne and fades acne scars!), along with Clean & Clear's Oil Free Dual action moisturizer. Every other night, I exfoliate with Dermalogica's Clearing Skin Wash and Olay's Pro-X Advanced Clearing System.
So now I am going to tell you what I do with my skin every morning and night.
I, of course, wash my face with the Rapid Clear foaming scrub. I do this with warm water because it opens up my pores and allows the scrub to work its magic. I gently rub it around my face, concentrating on my main problem areas for around thirty seconds. Then I wash it off with lukewarm water and pat my face dry with a towel (please don't rub the towel across your face - it causes wrinkles and stretches your skin!)
When your face is completely dry, get a pump of the Clean & Clear moisturizer (I know it sounds backwards, but trust me!) and rub it evenly into your face. The reason for this is because the Rapid Clear Scrub is kind of drying so I moisturize before I put on the also drying toner. After you have rubbed it all in, grab some of the Rapid Clear Fight & Fade Toner. Not too much, not too little. The amount is based on your skin and how much you prefer. But make sure it's enough, because too little won't do much. Pat that into your face completely, and wait ten seconds.
Then go back with the moisturizer, one pump will do. Rub it on to your face, and you're done! Your face should feel very clean and refreshed. You can add a bit more moisturizer if your face still feels dry, though.
Now I'm going to explain my every other night routine. Instead of using the Rapid Clear Scrub, I use the Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash. I tried exfoliating with the Rapid Clear, but it made skin super dry and it felt raw, also the microbeads in it could scratch your skin. Dermalogica isn't too drying and is a comes out as a gel.
I squeeze out of dime-size amount of the Dermalogica facewash, and rub it all over my face. Then I use the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System to exfoliate. Concentrate on your main problem areas, because that's where you want to clean the most. Do this for forty-five seconds. Wash everything off, then repeat the moisturizer and toner routine.
I really hope this helped - it's transformed my skin. While I do have acne, it's not as bad, it's so much better and most of the big pimples are gone.
But just remember - what worked for me might not work for you, because we all have different skin. Good luck!
You probably don't know that I have acne - and for quite a while too. I've had acne for maybe three years. My acne has been a constant source of insecurities for me. At first, it was majorly centered on my forehead. Then it spread down to my cheek area.

I tried exfoliating with the Rapid Clear, but it made skin super dry and it felt raw, also the microbeads in it could scratch your skin. Dermalogica isn't too drying and is a comes out as a gel.
I squeeze out of dime-size amount of the Dermalogica facewash, and rub it all over my face. Then I use the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System to exfoliate. Concentrate on your main problem areas, because that's where you want to clean the most. Do this for forty-five seconds. Wash everything off, then repeat the moisturizer and toner routine.
I really hope this helped - it's transformed my skin. While I do have acne, it's not as bad, it's so much better and most of the big pimples are gone.
But just remember - what worked for me might not work for you, because we all have different skin. Good luck!
