Journal 26: The Worst

strictly speaking, there was no bad part in my winter vacation besides losing my original sharp necklace. However, i did get a new one with my own allowance that i saved throughout the year. The new necklace's price was a bitch man.
so back to losing my necklace, i lost it when i was in Japan. Why? because somehow i was dumb enough to not put it in the very end of my jacket. I had it kind of haning out in the second layer of my shirt and jackets. I was doing a big leap off a ramp and i fell miserably in the end. I twisted my neck and my back by doing that jumo and i was feeling terrible. I landed in soft snow, first its hard to get up. Second, my friends and teacher left already, i was eager to catch up. So, i hurried up and slided out without checking if i have lost anything. It was when i was back at the rest stop that i realized that my nacklace was gone. At first  i thought i might have just left it in the hotel. However, after going back to the hotel i realized i actually lost it in the snow. I was feeling pretty shitty when i realized i lost my favorite necklace/lucky charm in the snow in Japan. I was so mad at myself i was banging my head to the tree. Dam, that necklace was with me for about 5 years now, and i lost it on a ski trip in the snow of japan. But, i guess im pretty relieved that i lost it in the snow rather than on the road or something. It like the snow, and i've been dipping it in the snow every year i go to Japan or go skiing. Guess the necklace belonged to where it's suppose to be. The necklace of snow. The blade of snow.

Journal 25: Christmas Holiday

My chirstmas is dam fun. im going to talk about both option since it both has something to my holiday and what i think.
Christmas is sooooo commercialized right now that people don't even freaking remember the original purpose of Christmas. Christmas is about Jesus and now Santa Claus at first, or that's what i remembered. Anyway, Christmas is like a big celebration for everywhere and everyone since 1, kids get presents 2, we get to go out and have fun and this all leads to 3, the businesses having money. See, the people are happy with their gifts and chrismas celebration while the market and sellers get their money as their christmas gifts.
What's more, santa claus was made as a fantastic story for kids to believe in. They love it, we love it, and slowly it become the main character that lives in people's hearts when December comes. Santa Claus is like the new idol of kids since he gets presents for them.

My christmas was fantastic. I was in Japan enjoying the snow and a japanese Santa Claus. The trip was a complete bless to my soul and mind for a rest from the whole school and SAT crap.  God, it was like a charger that completely gave me a new life. Now im back to school again with the energy that i can use all the way till new year break. Once new year break come, the little energy lost through the 1 month will be replenish again and i will become over charged for the upcoming summer.
All these gifts i got from christmas, well not anymore, but the decorations are all money for the business owners.

Journal 23: Address an Issue

i find this a extremely difficult journal to talk about. Why? because from starting to brainstorm about this topic have caused me enough trouble to figure out what is it that im gonna talk about.
The one thing that i find is of the most importance now is the freedom of speech. China is limiting the people's rights of freedom of expression. It has caused a great deal of opposition and pretty much dislike and kind of a disapproval between countries that they find pretty oppressing.
Democracy is the new trend of this century and it is something that most people would appreciate if they can have it. If such is the case where your freedom is limited, then you will have much disapproval among the people.
What is my issue in the local? i wouldn't even call it local. Its something that is near my community that i face right now. Which is also the freedom of speech. I find myself being watched even outside of my community. I'm watched, and i have to watch what i say all the time now. Im being watched probably right now because of a recent event.
That's pretty much the local issue i find interesting and annoying. Global issue that i am concern of is also the freedom of speech. People have the right to do what they want, if the law is to limit their basic rights such as expressing ideas, then that's just wrong. You can say something bad about them too, but not just resricting it to something you can't do. The 21st century idea is democracy and that we can express our voting rights and all idea freely. Our minds are free, but now is not the case around the world. Lots of places are not free and much is restricted.
Thats what im basically going to talk about.
