Walk to Remember

 

 Hey Everyone.

 I hope you all are having a wonderful March so far, I am I had a wonderful birthday,  it was a day filled with love laughter and happiness. 

I have decided to write about a movie called Walk to Remember, Starring Mandy Moore, Shane West and a whole wonderful cast of people.

The movie starts off in North Carolina with a young man named Landon Carter who is a rebellious teenager, he and his friends leave evidence of under age drinking on school grounds and unfortunately severely injure another student while doing a prank.

 The principal gives him a choice of being expelled or helping the janitorial staff after school, as well as tutoring the fellow disadvantaged students at their sister school and being in the school play.

During the different functions Landon is in he notices Jamie Sullivan a girl he has known since Kindergarten who is the local ministers daughter, since he is part of the in crowd, he has barley noticed Jamie.

 She wears modest dresses and only owns one sweater, she makes no attempt to bring any attention to herself, and she wears no makeup.

Landon is having trouble learning his lines, Jamie who is also in the play agrees to help Landon learn his lines if he agrees to one thing that he can’t fall in love with her.

Landon at first thinks that won’t be any problem because he doesn’t have any feelings for her at first, at Least he thinks he doesn’t.

Landon begins practicing with Jamie  after school at her house, a spark of affection soon begins between them, even though Landon does like spending time with her, he can’t let his friends know that, he blows her off in front of his friends, after that she decides she wants nothing to do with him.

He rehearses independently and tutors independently, it is the night of the play Jamie astounds everyone and Landon with her voice, and beauty, when it comes to the ending of the play onstage Jamie sings and Landon kisses her that is not part of the play.

After that Jamie avoids him and she continues to avoid him until Landon makes a peace offering and buys her a new pink sweater, he also defends her after his friends play a mean cruel prank on her they photoshop her head on the body of another girl.

Landon asks Jamie on a date, she tells him her  father he doesn’t allow her to date, he asks her dad if he can take Jamie out he at first resists then he decides to let him take her on a date their first date .

Landon helps Jamie fulfill a list of things she’d like to do, such as being in two places at once, and getting a tattoo, after that they go to the docks and Jamie explains to Landon how she experiences belief and how it is like the wind.

Landon kisses her, and declares his love for her, Landon’s mother finds a private list of his own dreams and aspirations he wants to go to medical school, to which he reveals Jamie is his inspiration, on another date Landon asks Jamie her plans for the future, she tells him she doesn’t have plans for the future, because she has leukemia , and hasn’t been responding to treatments. 

A desperate Landon asks his father for help in curing her, he is disappointed by reply, he comes to terms with Jamie’s condition and he tells her he will be there with her until the end.

 One day Jamie collapse's, and ends up in the hospital, while she is there she gives Landon a book that belonged to her mother, she tells Landon maybe God sent Landon to help her through her tough and hard times, that Landon is her angel Jamie is given private home care provided by Landon’s estranged father that releases Jamie’s dad from finical burden, Landon Visits his dad and tearfully thanks him, and they reunite and embrace.

 I decided to write about this movie because it talks about how special and wonderful life is, and to enjoy each and every moment of life.

My favorite scene from a walk to remember is when Jamie and Landon are talking and he gives her a temporary butterfly tattoo and how he fulfills all the things on her list that she wants to do while she’s able to do the things she wrote in her list.

 I also like the scene where she sings only hope, that when he really notices her and falls in love with her. And the dress she wears in the movie is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful and her hair is nice too.

I like how he slowly falls in love with her and sees that her beauty is in the eye of the bee 🐝 holder. And he sees her for who she is. And sees her heart that is kind and caring and compassionate and loving. 

 Life is short, it’s important to seize the day and every opportunity you have with your friends and family. Personally I try to enjoy each and every day I am blessed to have, personally I love living life to the fullest and sharing my smile and joy with others because seeing my friends and family smile makes me smile on the inside and outside. 

Before you leave a place or a event or occasion make sure the last words you say are in kindness and love, you don’t want to have the feeling of regret and wish you wouldn’t have said that….  And if you have done something wrong or feeling bad about something that happened towards you or that you did to someone ask for forgiveness… It’s not for other the other person it’s for you, and knowing in yourself that you did the right thing.  

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good movie.

Lilo And Stitch

 Hey Everyone, 

I hope you all are doing well and having a good summer so far!  I have a good summer so far, I hope all the dads had a happy father's day! 

My day was a little crazy yesterday in the midst of fathers day I was picking up some goodies to bring to the celebration, I was at Target and I didn't realize till I got to the car, that I had misplaced my phone.

 I went back to target to retrieve it and I went to the front desk at guest services and the lady there asked me if I was looking for my phone and I told her Yes!

 She then told me that a lady told her that she goes to church with me and my friend on my Lock Screen on the phone, she didn't have my number a member of my church called me and I didn't realize it till I got my phone back and she told me that the person had called her and told her she found my phone and my friend from church let me know that it was at Target, I told her thank you! 

This is the third or fourth time that this has happened to me.

The third time I lost my phone I was at the Disney Store, In Hershey outlets, I get so excited when I see Disney things, My attention immediately goes somewhere else and my mom and me were on our way to the airport for our vacation, I didn't realize I had lost my phone till I left the store, I went back into the Disney store and someone found it and returned it to me! 

 I am truly blessed, it may seem like a small thing I am so glad that It was found because  I have really important things that I hold dear on my phone my life is on there! I certainly had Angels looking out for me, I am glad my Lock Screen Pic is also a picture that is easy to see and familiar to people that happen to find it if Is missing. There is never a dull moment with me!

 I have decided to write one of my favorite movies Lilo and Stitch Live Action Version. 

It is such.a cute movie, It Stars Sydney Agudong,  Maia Kealoha,  Courtney B Vance, Billy Magnussen,  Zach G, Chris Sanders, Tia Carrere  and a whole wonderful cast of people! 

The movie starts off with Stitch, he lives on a planet called Turo and for now he is called Experiment 626, Doctor Jumba created him and he is in a meeting with the United Galatic Federation for Illegal genetic Experimentation because he created Stitch AKA Experiment 626 .

He is known to be aggressive and a near indestructible creature with advanced learning capabilities and Jumba is Imprisoned while 626 Is punished for his destructive behavior he escapes and uses a police cruiser and uses its hyper drive to reach earth crashing on Kaua"I the grand council woman offers freedom to Jumba if he captures 626.

She pairs him with an Earthly expert Agent Peakley Stitch Crashes a wedding party because he wanted to have some wedding cake he loves sweets, he gets hit with a tourist trolley and then is taken to an animal shelter.

We then meet lilo Pelekai a little sweet Hawaiian girl who is expelled from Hula School for pushing her bully Mertle off the stage due to her big sister Nani's absence for missing her hula dancing.

Nani then finds lilo at home and lilo has locked Nani out of the house because she is mad at her for missing her dance performance and not being there for her, Lilo is listening to Elvis Presley in her room, And ignoring Nani not letting her in the room, then a social worker arrives to see how Lilo is doing and to check on how Nani is doing in taking care of her.

 The social worker Mrs. Kekoa  makes a list of tasks for Nani to complete before her next visit, the next day their neighbor Ms.TuTu hears that Lilo wants a friend she takes he to the animal shelter to pick out a pet, where the experiment 626 is being kept, 626 realizes Jumbo and Peakley are after him he acts like a dog to get lilo to notice him and take home and she does.

He knows he will be protected with her, Nani takes Lilo And 626 with her to her job a the resort Luau with her friend David Kawena who also works there, Lilo decides to give 626 the name Stitch since her sister said that she will have to stitch up the seat that he messed up.

Lilo and Stitch are enjoying the resort they have to leave because Stitch causes a table fire by accident and it leads to Nani being fired she has to look for another job.

Nani then is visted by Kekoa and CIA Agent Bubbles who poses a social worker to investigate Stitch's arrival Kekoa insists Nani find new employment Immediately however she is rejected due to many interviews because of Lilo and Stitch's antics.

 Lilo helps her big sister Nani find a job as a surfer instructor something that she loves to do and enjoys doing, they surf together after her first shift is done, in the meantime Jumba and Peakley are unable to capture Stitch while they are jet skiingcausing the pelekasis and stitch to wipe out, almost drowning lilo when stitch sinks.

Stitch doesn't know how to swim, that's what caused lilo to sink he was trying to hold onto lilo to go back to shore, Stitch was to heavy for lilo to handle by herself the weight of him made her go under the water and why he sank under the water, as lilo is recovering Kekoa informs Nani that the Hawaian government will cover Lilo's health insurance costs if she gives up guardianship she reluctantly accepts the offer and gives up her custody.

The sisters share a final together before Lilo has to go live somewhere else, Stitch sorrowfully sees what he caused and decides to leave because he is so sad to the outcome of what has happened with lilo and her big sister, he returns to the animal shelter alone meanwhile the council woman is disappointed that Jumba hasn't captured Stitch, and cancels their deals and orders Pleakley to return Jumba to prison.

However Jumba escapes Peakley and plans to capture Stitch instead, Kekoa and Bubbles arrive the next morning to find lilo missing, so they and her big sister go to look for where she went, Lilo finds Stitch at the Shelter, Jumba appears to capture Stitch, they go to a home and fight Jumba destroying their home, during the fight he reveals that Stitch used lilo for his own protection, that causes Stitch to be guilt ridden and surrender, Jumba takes Stitch on his spaceship using a portal generating Gun planning to erase Stitch"S Empathy.

 However lilo sneaks on the ship and comes on board, and knock Jumba out the spaceship, the ship crashes into the ocean and ends up trapping lilo and Stitch underwater, Stitch rescues Lilo, he cannot swim to the surface, he releases her to emerge and he sinks down to the bottom of the ocean, Nani and David rescue Lilo she refuses to leave Stitch behind Nani goes back to save him, you will have to see the movie to see how Nani Saves Stitch she is superwoman and saves him confidently, they reach shore together Stitch isn't moving he is motionless, David decides to Jumpstart his lungs and he is revived.  

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next, I can assure you it is a happy and cute ending for everyone involved in the situation.

 I decided to write about this because it based on friendship, love, kindness caring and Ohana, Ohana means family and no-one gets left behind. 

Family comes in all different ways. Everybody wants to be loved and have a family.

 Family is the most wonderful thing to have you know they will always have a special place in their heart for you, they will give you unconditional love and a smile and hug whenever you need one and will go to the ends of the earth for you and do anything for you. And if it comes too a really intense situation and its a life situation because of the love they have for you and family they would even give their life for you, that is what love is,  that they would be willing to give up their life so you can live yours and continue to live the life you were meant to live and live life to the fullest and celebrate yourself and all your success and wonderful things that have happened to you so far in your life,  

For example Stitch loved lilo so much and because of the love Stitch has for lilo, he made lilo let go of him so she could live, "no greater man Than this who lay down his life for his friends" and that is what Stitch did.

 I have a wonderful family that I love with all my heart, I enjoy and cherish every moment and time that I spend with them, I know to capture the moments that I cherish with them because time is short, and I want my family to know that I am enjoying and loving the time that I am spending with them..

I have a group chat with my family everyone uses and loves even when were not together in person it is a way for us to keep in contact with each other and see how everyone is doing and what were all up to and we can share with one another. 

Enjoy each moment and time you have with your family because time is short, and make sure you tell them whatever is on your heart to say while they still can hear it and respond to it don't wait till its too late you will regret that you didn't say anything when you had the chance. I also love my church family, I have an amazing church family, and a lot of people that I connect with at my church and to me they are also my Ohana I gained a big sister in my Ohana family and a lot of good friendships and relationships with different members of the church that I deeply treasure and love, most of. the members there have known me since I was a baby and have continued to support me and encourage me in my 28 years of life.

My favorite scene from Lilo and Stitch is when Stitch and Lilo first meet and Stitch pretends to be a dog to capture her attention to adopt him, he sees a poster on the wall of a little girl hugging a dog and he hugs lilo and they give each other a nice warm hug. 

Stitch may look strange on the outside, if you get past that you will see his cute and adorable and someone who wants to be loved and cared for. 

Before you Judge Stitch, Get to know Stitch first and once you do you will really like him and grow to love him.

I recommend this movie to anyone who Wants to watch a good  family heart warming movie. 

I encourage you to Remember and know you will always have a Ohana!

Soul

Hey Everyone! Happy Juneteenth!

 Today I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies Called Soul, It stars Jamie Foxx, Angela Bassett, Daveed Diggs. Tina Fey and a whole wonderful cast!

 The movie starts out With a man named Joe Gardner, He is a pianist and a part time middle-school teacher, he dreams of playing Jazz professionally one day! 

He receives an offer to be a full time teacher at the middle school he's teaching at now! 

His mother urges him to accept the deal because she wants to see him live a good and fulfilling life, one that he can excel in  and be really good at! 

Joe learns that his favorite Jazz Musician Dorothea Williams is going to be in town playing with her Quartet and his old student that he used to teach told him that he should come down and let her hear him play the piano and that he thinks she will be very impressed after she hears him.

He goes down to the jazz  club to play for her and she is very impressed and tells him that he can play with their Quartet that evening! 

He gets so excited that he calls everyone that he will be playing with the famous Dorothea Williams and he doesn't look where he is going and unfortunately he falls into a deep hole, and passes away he ends going into an afterlife realm and sees other passed souls in the after life getting ready to go into another whole realm called the Great Beyond.

He doesn't want to go the Great Beyond he somehow gets into a Seminar called the you Seminar and the realm is Called the Great Before a realm where new souls prepare for life on earth and they get a badge that gets them to Earth once it has been completely filled in interests and personality traits with guidance from other Earthly Counselors who are all named Jerry and experienced Souls who act as Mentors.

 Joe is accidentally mistaken for a mentor he is chosen to mentor 22, who is a very stubborn Soul and has been in The Great before for a long time, she has no interest in going to earth at all.

She is intrigued with Joes desperation in going back to Earth, and his unremarkable life 22 decides to let Joe mentor her and see if he can find her spark to to enable her badge and Joe can use her badge to return home. 

After Joe fails several times and attempts to find 22"s spark and passion they come across someone named Moon wind who spins a sign who regularly enters the zone to rescue lost souls, he helps 22 and Joe find his souless body in the hospital. 

Joe makes it back to Earth he accidentally brings 22 with him to Earth when he goes, 22s soul ends up in his body, and Joe ends up in the therapy cats body, they escape the hospital together and locate Moon wind together who agrees to meet them at the Jazz club that evening so Joe can be returned to his body, in the meantime 22 is enjoying Joes body and experiencing new and exciting things in a human body while they are on earth, like food wind and music,  she has deep conversations with different people Joe is connected to in the Earthly realm which gives her a deeper understanding of life. 

Back in the after life realm, someone named Terry sees Joe and 22 are missing he is in charge of counting Souls, he sees that the count is off, he goes to Earth to find Joe, as the day gets closer to ending Joe and 22 Visit Moon Wind to return Joe to his body, 22 has finally discovered the joy of living, she refuses to leave Joe's body and flees, Joe chases her through a subway station Terry ends up finding them and he disconnects them from life and returns them to the Great Before.

22 finds her badge is complete Joe bitterly tells her its only because she found the the result of experiencing life in his body with his perferences and that she has no purpose of her own.

Distraught 22 throws her badge at him and retreats into the zone, A Jerry informs Joe that a spark is not a soul's purpose in life Joe refuses too believe this and discreetly uses 22's badge to go to Earth. 

The show at the Jazz Club is successful, Joe finds that it is not fulfilling his desires like he thought it would. I decided to write about this movie because I wanted to celebrate Juneteenth and this is a wonderful movie it shows you to celebrate life and to seize the day because Life is short, from the movie I learned to enjoy each moment and day I am blessed to have, One of my favorite things about my life is my family and friends and celebrating my Birthday anyone who knows me knows I ABSOLUTELY  LOVE My Birthday! 

I love everything about it, the celebration, thinking all of the past birthday memories, creating new birthday memories and enjoying the new age that I turned to be honest with you, It's hard for me to turn a new age whenever my birthday arrives because I enjoy the age that I am so much and everything that has happened while I was that age, I also learned that I can't go into the next chapter of my life if I keep looking into the old chapter I will always have the memories and the moments that I had of my previous age, now with the new age I can create new memories and moments and always cherish and remember those ones.  

I have some fun facts about the Soul Movie Joe Gardner is the first black protagonist in a Pixar film, and the film is deeply rooted in Jazz Music, Real-life Inspiration Joe Gardner is basically based on Dr.Peter Archer a retired Band Teacher with over 30 years of experience. 

Joe Gardner has 18 different outfit Variations throughout the film reflecting his personality and situations. Jamie Foxx is an incredible actor.

 He really projects himself in the role he is given to play in any movie role he is given, He has overcome a lot in his life, Even in everything he has gone through he is a still a strong and mighty Man! 

He portrays a Jazz Pianist int his movie, also did you know? Jamie in real life is a wonderful Pianist and He also played Ray Charles in the 2004 film Ray showcasing his connection to Jazz Piano. 

My Favorite Jamie Foxx Movie is Annie where he plays Will Stacks, He does a magnificent job in that movie role, he really brings the character to life, Cameron Diaz is in the movie also, she plays Miss. Hannigan her and Jamie play off well on each other, and they also Starr in another movie together Called Back in Action, they are acting As CIA Agents and they do an outstanding job.

 I Think they would be incredible CIA agents in real life check out that movie too! 

The movie soul is about appreciating the small everyday moments in life and finding Joy in the simple act of living!

 I encourage you all to enjoy your life, and each moment and day you are given even if it's a small moment I still think you should enjoy it because I know that you will be able to find joy even if it's a small thing for example for me I'm not able to enjoy a lot of desserts and milkshakes and coffee mochas like I used to pre diabetes I am able to find joy in the small things even in the midst of diabetes.

My dad also absolutely loves sweets just like me he bought some Cheesecake and I love cheesecake so I was able to have a small amount and even though it was a small amount I still found found Joy because it's something that I always enjoyed and when I had it at the right time, my sugar levels would be ok.

Also something I loved having was smoothies like Chocolate Smoothies from Tropical Cafe, I got to enjoy the smoothie and I was so happy I got to have something that I haven't in awhile, I wasn't able to have the whole thing I was happy to have a good amount of it. Find Joy in the small things, I think it will make you feel really good and joyful inside.

My favorite scene from the movie is when Joe and 22 first meet, there interactions with each other are very funny as are they getting to know each other, you will see as you watch the movie the more they get to know each other and hang out with one another they become really good friends!

 And happy they got the chance to meet and experience life in each other's eyes and see what life is like in each others' point of view. I hope you all have a wonderful Juneteenth! Happy Juneteenth! I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family movie!

Straw

Hey Everyone!

 I can't believe it is June, Time is flying and the months are going by quick! 

I just wanted to share with you all a movie I recently watched Starring Taraji P Henson, Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor produced and directed by Tyler Perry.

The movie is very moving and emotional, powerful and an intense storyline. 

The movie starts off with a lady named Janiyah Wilkinson who is doing everything she can to take of her eight year old Daughter Aria, she lives in a run-down apartment.

 One morning before Aria goes to school she goes to bathe Aria so she can be ready for the day and School, she moves Arias Science Project to the side so it doesn't get messed up, Aria is very frustrated that her mom won't let her clean herself in the tub her mom tells her that she is doing for her because she doesn't want her to fall and hurt herself like she did before.

She tells her mom that her teacher announced in front of the class she can't afford her lunch and has to have a special lunch, her mom tells her she will bring some money to her so she can eat like everyone else and not be made of or teased by the other kids. Janiyah is upset about the situation she tries to put her focus on work and making the situation that Aria is in a little easier for her. 

Aria was a Preemie she has a series of health complications her mom has to work extra hard at her jobs to get the medicine her daughter needs to be healthy and strong.

It is only her and Aria, she really doesn't have anyone else that supports her or encourages her when she needs help with Aria or feeling stressed and upset when she needs someone to talk to, her landlord is about to kick her out because she's overdue on her rent and her boss that she works for is very mean and insulting to her.  

She's also a single mom everything that Janiyah does and puts all her energy into is for Aria she has two jobs that she does, one of her jobs that she does is working at a Super Center as a Cashier.  

She makes it to her job at work and immediately runs into a situation with one of the customers, she is trying to use one of her cards and Janiyah tells her the WIC Card that she has won't work for most of her items, the lady gets mad at her and tells the person behind her lets go he throws a glass bottle at her and it breaks into a million pieces, her unsympathetic  boss commands her to clean up the mess that she just made, she goes to the back and is getting the mop and bucket ready.

Then she gets a call on the phone and supposedly its the school calling about her daughter, one of her medical conditions is Epilepsy.

She has episodes often and from that her mom is taking her to the hospital a lot, her boss is reluctant to let her leave he does anyway and tells her to be back in thirty minutes even though that is hard to make happen she says ok, she goes on her way to school, and finds out as soon as she is there she sees Child Protective Services is taking Aria away because of the the different things that was heard about Janiyah and how she is taking Care of her.

She needs her paycheck to pay her rent, and to help Aria with her health problems, her boss refuses to give her check and tells her he will send it in the mail.

Janiyah tries going to the bank to withdraw some money for her daughters lunch the Line is too long to wait in the manager tells her to come back and try later,Janiyah pleads with the school and Social Services to not take her daughter, they tell her she is in good hands and will be ok.

As Janiyah makes her way back to work, she accidentally runs off an off Duty Police Officer and he throws a drink  at her car window and threatens her life, the police arrive and they take away her car for having expired documents she makes it back to work and ends up getting fired.

Her boss still refuses to give her her paycheck, when she gets back home she sees that she has been evicted and her landlord has thrown all of her belongings in the rain outside that was her last straw. she is so frustrated and upset with what has happened to her so far that day and in her life, she has reached a breaking point, she returns to the store to confront her boss for her pay, and two robbers come into the office and demand money from her boss, and try to take the backpack that has Arias belongings in it, she fights the robber and she somehow ends up with the gun and ends up shooting him, then her boss blames her for the whole situation and calls the police she claims he knew her name from her name tag he tells her she's going to jail and how will she be a good parent from Jail ? 

He ends up getting shot,  she gets her paycheck and goes to the bank, the teller refuses to cash her check without an ID, Janiyah is desperate, she pulls out her gun and tells the teller to hand over the cash, the silent alarm is triggered.

 The bank manager Nicole recognizes her and tries to calm her down, Detective Raymond and Grimes are checking out the earlier incident in the store and find out about the robbery in the bank. Detective Raymond a former Army Negotiator builds a rapport with Janiyah, and she is empathetic and kinds towards her and builds trust with Janiyah, she tells Detective Raymond she isn't coming out till the Police Officer that threatened her is gone and removed from the scene, Detective Raymond promises Janiyah that she will be ok, and that she will find the cop and have him removed she stays by her side the whole entire time.

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens with Janiyah and her situation. 

The movie is very heavy and real it shows you a whole other side of what single moms do and how far they go to take care of their kids, and how hard life can be for them sometimes especially if they don't have anyone else to support them or walk with them or help them in their time of need, Taraji Put her whole heart and spirit into the character of Janiyah you could feel all the emotions and feelings that she had pouring out of her, she brought her character to life, it was really Real and Raw. Taraji is an outstanding actress, she is in incredible and amazing in everything she does. She has a beautiful and kind heart and a happy smile.

It makes you want to jump in the screen and help her character Janiyah with what she is going through and that she has someone on her side. 

Sherri Shepherd did an amazing job as the manager Nicole, she was so kind and loving, and really helped Janiyah and stayed by her side the entire time and helped Janiyah to live and fight her life she let her know that she had a friend. 

My favorite Character from the movie is Detective Raymond. She was an amazing detective, she was very empathetic and sincere towards Janiyah and she was able to relate to her situation, she stayed with her the whole time and continued talking with her and kept promising her she will be ok and that everything will be ok and to keep listening to her voice. 

Teyana Taylor did that! She played that role and slayed it  I am giving her a 10/10...  My first movie I Saw her in was Madeas Big Happy family where she played Sabrina the girlfriend of Byron! She is truly amazing and such a kind and incredible lady and deserves to have her flowers. She is loved by many and has blessed a lot of people!

My favorite Scene from the movie is when Detective Raymond punched  the cop in the face, and told him he's done! You are done! And I was saying to myself, that's what you get! You go Detective Raymond! You show him!

I want to encourage all the moms, and the single moms I know that life can be hard sometimes, and can get really full and busy I want you to know that you will always have someone with you to help you with whatever you need, you will always have someone in your corner, you will never be alone!  You Got this! There will never be anything to hard that you can't handle keep your head up! Don't Give Up, Someone will always be there to lift you up and encourage you and support you! 

I know being a single mom can be a hard thing, with being a single parent you can give your child double the love! They will appreciate all you have done for them and continuing to do! You have a village and someone will be by your side Always! 

My favorite Taraji P Henson movies are Proud Mary,  I can do bad all by myself, Karate Kid

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a powerful and moving story! Awesome Job Mr. Perry You are an incredible Actor and person and loved by many!

Never Been Kissed

 

Hey Everyone! 

I hope you all are doing well, and I hope you all have a wonderful June. I know Graduation is approaching and weddings are happening, I am so excited and happy for you all.. 

Congratulations to those who are celebrating all these amazing achievements. This is another step and milestone in your journey and always remember and cherish forever. 

I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies starring Drew Barrymore, Jessica Alba Micheal Vartan, David Arquette Molly Shannon, James Franco and a whole cast of wonderful people. 

The movie starts off with a girl named Josie who is a little insecure and she is a twenty five year old copy editor of the Chicago Sun Times.

She’s never been in a real relationship, one day her editor and chief Rigfort decides to let her do an undercover story at a high school to help parents become aware of Their children’s lives, her first day at South Glen South High School is miserable.

Josie reverts back to her old geek persona that ruined her first high school experience, she unfortunately has a run in with three obnoxious popular girls, Kirsten, Kristen, Gibby, and the schools most popular and attractive student Guy Perkins.

Josie is losing hope, she befriends a kind young lady named Aldys, she loathes Guy and his Gang she invites Josie to be a part of her group Denominators a group of intelligent students.

Josie is falling in love with her English teacher Sam Coulson and becomes the top student in his class after reciting  a romantic excerpt from Shakespeare to Sam, she has horrible flashbacks to when she read a romantic poem aloud to her class to her high school crush a boy named Billy Prince who later asked her to the senior prom Making her dream come true.

However on the night of the prom Billy arrives with another girl, and they do something really mean they hurl eggs and insults at Josie, that humiliate and break her heart, one evening while hanging out with Aldys they come upon Guy and his gang at a local hangout called the court where underage drinking happens and other things.

 Her managing editor Augustus Gus Strauss loses patience with Josie after a rival paper scoops the court story  and orders Josie to become friends with the popular group in school, he arranges her to wear a hidden camera and soon people become obsessed with her story.

Josie confides in her brother Rob about her fears, Rob who was their  most popular high schools boy in their teens urges her to start anew and urges to let go of her old self,  and he helps her fit in with the popular crowd, much to the dismay of her new friend Aldys, Sam and Josie grow closer, Sam struggles with his feelings he thinks she is a high school student.

You will have to see the rest the movie to find out what happens next, I can assure you it is a happy ending for everyone, I decided to write about this movie because I love the story and how it can relate to where people are in their parts of their life. 

It made me think of when I was in high school, and the dreams and plans I had for when I was done with high school.

 I am so thankful to all my teachers that helped me in my journey while I was in school and preparing for the real world, I had a good relationship with all my teachers and I stay in touch with all of them. They were a part in who I am today. Also high school musical was a part of my childhood, and journey to music. It’s also a part of who I am Today. 

And I also wanted to tell you always stay true to who you are, never think you have to change yourself for someone else to get them to be your friend or like you, the real friends will like you for who you are, and be there for you whenever you need them. 

And other people who pretend to be your friend will like you for what you can give them and not like you for who you are. 

If you have had a scary past experience, try to grow from that and believe everything will be ok and that you are a phenomenal person on the inside and outside and that whatever people you have in your crew will always be there for you, you can always count on them for anything.

I have a wonderful crew of friends that I am so happy to have, also I am so glad and grateful to have my big sister in my crew, she’s a good person to have around and in my crew. 

I am glad to my church family in my life too, I have a lot of church family members and friends that look out for me and care about me and my journey in life. I am so grateful and thankful for them and all they have done for me and they really care about my dog baby Elijah, that makes me happy as well because he means a lot to me.

 She knows me better than I know myself, I call her my big sis because she feels like a sister to me and I talk to her about everything, she is a really fun lady and always brightens whatever room she in.. I could go on and on.. she just means a lot to me.

 I would like to give you a tip, it is good a thing to keep the people that stay with you in your ups and downs, not just celebrate you when you are having a lot of ups and not downs.

The people who love and care about you will be there for always no matter what you are going through, I have a lot of wonderful and amazing people in my life who have been there for me and have known me since I came into the world as a baby, they always support me and encourage me and make me smile.

Stay true to who you are and always love and celebrate yourself. The real you is absolutely amazing and a bright and shining star 🌟.

My favorite scene from the movie , is the finale part of the movie, where she loves who she is and she cel herself and everyone is cheering her on and happy for her. 

That scene always makes me smile. 

Drew Barrymore really brings Josie to life, and you feel like she’s actually the character in real life. Check out some of her movies when you get a chance, you will absolutely love them. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good movie.

High school Musical 3

 Hey Everyone!

I hope you all are having a wonderful May so far, I have had a great one…. I learned the boots on the ground dance and I have been having a good time at work.

 As June is approaching I was thinking about High School and graduation, it’ll be ten years June third since I have graduated from high school.

I graduated June 3 2015 and I loved and enjoyed all my years of school, I know that is graduation season and those of you who have kids are so excited and happy for your kids and what they are going to do next in the world, and you can’t believe how fast they are growing up.

 I just want you all to know your kids will always be with you and always treasure and cherish all the time you spent together. 

One of my favorite memories from my childhood and one movie I grew up watching is High School Musical,  I absolutely loved that movie.

I loved all the characters and the songs I think my favorite one was High School Musical 3, The cast is Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, Kaycee Stroh, Oleysa Rulin, Bart Johnson, Matt Prokop, Chris Warren, Ryne Sanborn, Matt Prokop, and a whole cast of amazing people.

 The movie starts off with East Highs Basketball team compete against their long time rival, the West High Knights the final game of the season,  it’s half time at the game and East high is losing their senior basketball game.

Troy the captain of the basketball team rallies his teammates together and they end up winning the game, Troy and his teammates have a celebration at his house, and during the party him and his girlfriend Gabriella talk about their unknown futures after they graduate from High School and the short time they have left at East High.

The next day at school Mrs. Darbus notices the lack of students signing up for the musical, Sharpay Evans the popular girl at school, and she is absolutely fabulous she suggests a one-woman show, Kelsi reveals she signed everyone up for for the musical much to their Dismay.

Mrs. Darbus announces the show will be called Senior Year,  focusing on the futures of the upcoming graduates she also reveals Troy, Sharpay, Ryan and Kelsi have all been considered for a scholarship at Juilliard.

 Troy has never heard of that school, you will find out more about that later in the movie, only one person will be chosen for the scholarship and Sharpay wants to win she knows that Kelsi always chooses the best songs for Troy and Gabriella.

She gets Ryan to try to persuade Kelsi to give them a song predicting her and Ryan’s future,  Sharpay later befriends a girl named Tiara Gold who is a British transfer student.

 She is Sharpays assistant and they start working together, however Sharpays classmates and her brother try to warn her and tell her that Tiara is using Sharpay for her own gain you will find out more about that’ll later it’s a surprising turn.

 Sharpay refuses to believe what her friends and Ryan is telling her, a little later in school Troy and Gabriella are on the rooftop and that’s where he asks Gabriella to prom and she accepts that scene in the movie is beautiful and the song is absolutely cute and heartwarming she teaches him how to dance.

Chad asks Taylor to the dance and at first she refuses his invitation then later he asks her in a big and cute way she accepts his invitation then and she’s so excited the group then rehearses a scene in the musical with a scene about their prom night.

The next day Ryan and Kelsi rehearse for the musical and while they are going over the play Ryan asks Kelsi to the prom and she happily accepts, Troy and Chad are fondly remembering memories they had in Reilys Auto Parts.

Tiara finds out that Gabriella has been accepted into the Stanford Honors program, she informs Sharpay, she then informs Troy and convinces him that he’s holding Gabriella back from going, Troy visits Gabriella and has a talk with her and tells her to go to the program.

She leaves for college the next day, Troy and his father jack argue about which college he’s going to, Troy drives to his high school conflicted and he ends up screaming to let out his frustrations and troubles he has going on in his mind. 

Mrs. Darbus hears him and she tells him that she made a call to Juilliard and told them about him, and she’s hoping that it was ok he tells her that it’s ok and that he’s just trying to figure everything out Mrs. Darbus says he will and everything will be just fine.

Troy later gets a call from Gabriella who informs that although she loves him she won’t make it back for prom or graduation, however on the night of the prom, Troy does the sweetest thing he drives to where she is and tells her his prom is where ever she is, they have their own dance , meanwhile back at the School Sharpay is preparing and getting ready for her debut in the play.

Troy texts Jimmie Zara known as Rocket Man to take his place in the show he is Troy’s understudy, he lets him know he will be late to the show, Kelsi and Ryan start the show Jimmie Troy’s understudy he performs with Sharpay and he embarrasses her, Troy and Gabriella appear during the second half of the show and perform their song together.

And then unfortunately Sharpay who thought Tiara was nice and sweet she actually betrays Sharpay and tells her she will be running the drama department next year, and Sharpay being the star that she is decides to upstage Tiara as payback and show her who’s the boss and who will be running the drama department next year. 

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next, it is a very happy and moving ending.

 I decided to write about this movie because it’s a special movie from my childhood and it’s something I enjoy watching and singing along too and it’s a movie everyone can enjoy and relate too I also decided to write about because Ashley Tisdale who plays Sharpay and who did an outstanding job playing her she is reprising her role as Candace Flynn from Phineas and Ferb she plays the older sister she does an amazing job playing he too, she is my favorite character in the show, the new season is starting next month be on the look out for it she has such a kind and caring heart and has beautiful kids and she has said in interviews her daughter Jupiter tells everyone she’s Sharpays baby.

 I think Ashley brought a lot of fun and sassiness and popularity to the role of Sharpay she’s certainly a memorable character my favorite song that she sings is fabulous and bop to the top Even though Sharpay may act a little bit more dramatic.

 In some cases she really is kind and loving at heart and just wants to have a fabulous time, she also loves her dog boi and the color pink everything she has is in the color pink even her car and her locker is pink and she has doesn’t have the color orange in anything she owns or wears. 

I think Sharpay is one of my favorite characters from the movie I love how she portrays her and the sassiness and fun she brings to her it’s like she brings Sharpay to life. 

I also like Gabriella and Troy they are such a cute and adorable couple, I love the way they sing together and bring out the best in one another and encourage each other to go for their dreams and always cheer each other on.  

When you see the movie you will see the love and respect and joy that comes from the love  they have for each other.

My favorite scene from the movie is when Troy asks Gabriella to prom and then she teaches him how to dance, and they sing can I have this dance?  

It’s an absolute beautiful scene and song . I also like the scene where they sing High School Musical and they stand all together and take a bow and jump in the air because they are excited. 

I know that with Graduation the curtain is closing and they are moving onto the next chapter in their life, I just want you to know even though this chapter is closing another chapter is about to begin, and I recently watched Dhar Mann and in the video there was a line that a character said and the line was you can’t start the new chapter in your life if you keep rereading the old one, I encourage you all to enjoy the memories and look forward to what’s to come next and be excited that you can be part of their journey and their next chapter in their life. 

I remember my graduation from high school, it was an amazing and beautiful celebration and one I always remember. I am thankful to all my teachers and colleagues who helped me along the way in school. They helped me be who I am today. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good and moving movie! It will touch your heart you can check out the trilogy of High School Musical if you’d like there all really good and the songs are catchy to be honest I listened to the songs all the time and I know them by heart.

Raise your Voice

 Hey Everyone! 

Happy Thursday, I hope you all are having a great day! 

I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies starring Hillary Duff and John Corbett, and a whole wonderful cast.

 The movie starts off with a girl named Terri Fletcher who lives Flagstaff Arizona, her dream is to become a professional singer, she wants to compete in the music program that will give her a 10,000 dollar scholarship.

Her dad is very overprotective of her and he also runs his own restaurant, he doesn’t approve of her plans, he wants her to take over the family business one day.

Her brother Paul supports her and believes in her and thinks she should go for her dreams, they are very close, he is having a graduation barbecue, during the barbecue he has a fight with his dad and he ends up grounded.

 A little while later that same night Terri sneaks her brother out to a Three Days Grace Concert, they have a wonderful and fun time together in the concert, and singing to the radio on the way home.

While they are singing and talking, unfortunately they get into an accident they are hit by a drunk driver and unfortunately Paul ends up passing away.

While Terri is recovering in the hospital she learns that her brother has passed away, Terri blames herself for what happened to her brother Paul  and the outcome of what happened to him, she also decides to quit singing.

Her mom Frances tells her Paul’s death is not her fault and that he would have wanted her to attend the music program, she eventually convinces Terri to go and tells her husband that she will be staying with her Aunt Nina in Palm Desert California for the summer , as a cover she’s really going to Los Angeles California, Terri arrives in Los Angeles and runs into some problems as soon as she arrives she gets her jacket stolen, her cab driver is crabby and initially she can’t get into the Music School, she finds a way to get in and she makes some new friends.

 Terri learns a lot about music, she keeps having flashbacks about the accident, she developed a fondness for a guy named Jay who is British and a songwriter, she gets some competition from a girl named Robyn Childers who was with Jay the previous Summer.

Robyn still has feelings for Jay he doesn’t return the same feelings for her, Jay tries to get her to leave him and Terri alone, that plan fails because on one occasion Robyn kisses Jay when Terri walks in the room, Terri immediately gets upset and leaves.

Jay tries to tell her the kiss meant nothing, he has a Little to much to drink, Terri and her roommate Denise take him to get sobered up, when he does he apologizes to Terri and she agrees to finish the song they were working on together for the Scholarship Contest, well back on the home front her dad eventually finds out about Terri and where she is, he immediately gets upset and goes to Los Angeles to get Terri, he feels betrayed by his wife, sister and Terri for what they did to him,  when Terri sees him he tells her dad not to make the same mistake that he did with Paul , to not make her run away and ruin her summer ultimately Simon realizes how selfish he has been and he changes his mind.

 You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next , I can assure you it’s a happy ending and will make your heart feel warm inside and happy.

I decided to write about this movie because I have always loved singing, singing is something that makes me feel happy inside I can remember singing a lot in my childhood and growing up.

 I was involved in a lot of plays when I was younger, and I was in chorus in my high school years and Middle School Years, my uncle says I have an old soul because I love all kinds of Music, my favorite genre of music is Disney Disney has so many fun songs to sing along too, every time I watch a Disney movie and if it happens to have Music in the movie I will sing along to it and know all of the words. 

Disney is something I absolutely love and it makes me so happy, people who know me know that I absolutely love Disney,  I’m trusting and believing that my dream of Disney will come true, as the song in Cinderella goes the dream that you wish will come true, and Personality wise I believe I am like Happy from the Seven Dwarfs because, I am a happy girl and I see my glass as half full.

I also think I am like Olaf from frozen, because he’s caring and easy to love, he’s funny and sweet at the Same time, and he likes to sing too, and he likes warm hugs …. I do too.

 I love being around happy and joyful people that makes me feel happy and joyful inside. I think you should enjoy every moment and day that you are blessed with and enjoy your time with your family and friends… because you never know what will happen next.. and make sure you say everything you want to that person you are with, you don’t want to regret that you didn’t do anything while you had the opportunity or chance to say something.

I had a really kind, loving, caring, friend named Kelly she lit up every room she came in, and Made everyone feel special and good, and happy!

 For examples something that I feel bad about and reflect on sometimes is that I didn’t respond to her when she got back to me on something I asked her I was thinking I can respond later .

I’ll get back to her..I didn’t know that would be our last conversation, I know that Kelly still cares about me and knows that I care about her and wouldn’t want me to worry about it… I’m grateful and thankful for all the moments I had with Kelly, and that I got to have a Kelly experience… Cherish the moments with your friends and family you are blessed with… and go after your dreams just like Terri did in the movie.

My favorite scene from the movie is when Terri sings in the classroom, and surprises everyone with her singing voice, she even surprises her music teacher and he knows that she will go very far in her life as a singer. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family movie you will absolutely love it! Hillary Duff does an outstanding Job in this movie, you can feel the emotion and love coming out from her character. She is really one of my favorite actresses. I also like her in the Lizzie McGuire movie, that’s another good one.
