Reaction Tuesday: I can't wait until I'm 20 when I'm "Young, Wild & Free"

9:00 AM

I have been waiting and prayin that B.A.P would have their comeback soon and I've heard rumors that they were going to break up and I literally almost died... SO when their comeback MV dropped on the 15th (last Sunday) I dropped on the floor also because I was so excited my brain stopped working... SOOOO when I saw their teaser pictures... ZELLOOO OH MY...

The maknae grew up so much since the last 1 year and 9 months. Yes I counted... I wasn't really sure on their concept because they've always went with this machine like *BOOSH* (that was my attempt of making a hand missile sound) concept and so when they had a lion statue and those big metal thingies (I'm guessing they were speakers) I kind of get what they are going for but kind of don't.
Look at his face... (o 3 o)
It was a lot like the EXO overdose maze concept... At first when I started the MV I thought they were going for a fallen dark angel kind of thing... WHICH BY THE WAY WOULD HAVE LOOKED EQUALLY AMAZENG!! Then when the pilot costumes came out and the black, white and red clothing came out I was just like... Rock. Star. Pilots. YASSSS... Honestly I didn't know why Yongguk was wearing the bandana hat... NOOOOO....
What are thoooosssseeee
But when they started throwing paint, it just looked like the funnest thing to shoot. Most of the time while I was watching the MV however I thought whether their agency spent a lot this comeback because they were literally dancing in a empty box. HOW DARE YOU TREAT MY BABIES THIS WAY?? They had nice cars though so I guess that makes up for it. This group became a clique with their own flags and symbols. While writing this, I just got the concept. OKAY LET ME EXPLAIN TO THOSE CONFUSED LITTLE DUCKLINGS... Maybe I'm the only one who's confused... Anyways... The pilot costumes and the seriousness is them all grown up and so they are saying while they are young, wild and free they should live their life while wearing weird bandana hats.

The song itself is like any other B.A.P song ever made: manly feel with machine noises in the background. Although the lipsyncing in this song is kind of obvious... We get to see Zelo's abs so... IT'S ALL GOOD!! Out of ten I give this song a 8 out of 10 because I love their comeback but not really the song itself. Listen and tell me what you think in the comments below. Until next time, stay cool ma beans.

Q&A Thursday: SATs... WHAT DO I DO??

9:00 AM

OLO ma beans!! I took the October SAT test and to many they think with my score I would be set for life. I got a score of.... Drum roll please... 2120. I was aiming for a 2300 but I guess for my first time that's pretty good. I know a lot of people are stressed about taking the SATs so I'm here to share some of my tips while answering some of your questions.

Q: Do colleges look at all of the test scores?
A: It all depends. Right now CollegeBoard offers a score choice option where you pick which ever score you want to send to the college you are applying to. Other colleges wants you to send in all of your test scores and they will pick the highest from of each section.
Q: What was the national average this year? Is there a curve?
A: The national average this year... FROM WHAT I HEARD... Is 1400 but I'm not sure at all. Yes there is a curve but I have no idea how they curve the test.

Tip 1 ~ (LOL look at me tryin to be ciute... it ain't workin)
DON'T GO TO THE NORMAL SAT PREP CLASSES!! Go to one where you think you will do the best in. I come from a 90% Asian community in the 626 area so literally there is a SAT class in every corner and the most popular is this program called Elite. They charge around $3000 for this summer boot camp class and yes they are very legit. They have their own backpacks, flashcards, teachers, counselors, and different score level classes AND they GUARANTEE a 300 points score improvement. INSERTS LOOPHOLE HERE... They can say that you started at 1600 and improved 300 to 1900. Okay yea sure that's still a lot but what if that's not the score that you want?? You can't take the class again... You literally have one shot or else you have to pay for another $3000. I used Kaplan and bought the unlimited prep package which includes ACT, PSAT, and SAT prep. You can take all of the courses over and over again and when I signed up they provided me with FREE workbooks. So literally for every new lesson you can ask them to send you new materials. Plus there are 500+ vocabulary flashcards online. The classes are offered both online and in person so it's super convenient. The only downside to this is that the time zone is in Eastern Time rather than Western time. ALSO GUESS WHAT... I scored higher than most people who took Elite, so Elite is not necessarily the best program after all. I also improved from 1400 to 2120, so that's a lot more than 300.
 
Tip 2 ~ 
I didn't memorize all the vocabulary and I was still fine. I AM NOT TELLING YOU NOT TO MEMORIZE THE VOCABULARY!! Rather I don't have time to memorize them and on the test there was literally only 2 vocabulary questions, you can either skip them or guess. You will be fine if you skip two and get all of the rest correct. Don't waste extra time on SAT if you don't have time. Just attend the classes and pay attention, do the homework and I think you should be fine. 

Tip3 ~
Catch up on sleep two days before the test. This tip actually helped me so much. My teachers all knew that we were all going to take the SAT on Saturday, so all of them assigned really little homework. My sleeping schedule is basically taking a three hour nap for two afternoons straight, then at night sleeping around 5-6 hours. The night before I slept for about 8 hours, I slept at 10 and woke up the next day at 6. I felt perfectly fine until the last two sections of the test.

Tip 4 ~
BRING MINT WITH YOU!! Mint is suppose to wake you up and keep you focused and it adds clears your head when you drink water with it while you have it in your mouth. My tutor told me this and it did help. For the snack break I brought two granola bars and one bottle of water. Divide the granola bar into four and the bottle of water into four. 
Tip 5 ~

Literally wear your pajamas and dress in layers when you go take the test. Wear the most comfortable thing ever but make sure that you don't fall asleep. Also wear layers so you don't grow cold or hot from the class. 
I hope you guys can follow all of these tips and succeed in your future SAT tests!! Until next time, stay cool ma beans.

Summer Mondays: Shoppings Disease

12:16 PM

I diagnosed myself with shoppings disease. Symptoms include: excessively shopping, the urge to add many things to cart, wanting to buy anything you see, and hosting yard sales to get rid of old clothes.

I'm talking about this kinda shirt...
I don't know when this disease got a hold of me, but let me tell you how I got infected. One of my friends was actually infected first, she started changing her wardrobe into a more black and white vibe + Tumblr + Pinterest vibe. To me that's what many of us wear everyday, like black shirts, shorts, and flip flops but she used to be the super feminine type. All she wore was those Korea manufactured clothing consisting of lace, dirty pinks, and poka dots, so when she changed her style, it totally caught me off guard. And since shes's so skinny and tall, I thought that what she was wearing was totally my style.
This is basically her...
I didn't change my clothing, but I started buying things that are a lot more mature (in my opinion). Before I used to wear bright colors like neons, hot pinks, sapphire blues, oranges, and greens, but nowwwwww my closet consists of greys, blacks, jean type fannels, and whites. Ever since then, I had the urge to buy something every single time that I go out and almost every week, I have the urge to go online shopping and add stuff to my Amazon cart. You would think that this disease only affect clothes shopping, this weekend I bought: 24 pack pens, 1 sticker sheet of tattoos, 1 white shirt from Target, 1 new student planner, 1 shirt, sandals, crew neck from Hollister. I AM SHOPPING TO MUCH!! Last week I bought 4 cell phone cases, and 4 pencil pouches ALL AT ONCE!! To make up for the money that I spent (also I want to clean my room) I am going to be hosting a yard sale the same weekend where I'm getting my ears pierced. My desk is over flowing with pens, pencils, and papers, maybe I can sell all of that. I suggest all you beans should host your own yard sales, I might go... Until next time, stay cool ma beans.

Reaction Tuesday: SHINee- View

9:00 AM

SHINee made a comeback, and I seriously need to do a Reaction Tuesday for this because we were talking about this during lunch. I have done a post about this before like some time last week, but this time, lets go more in depth about the album and the song in this post. TBH I did not watch the full MV but from what I see so far, the music video is a more legit MV from SM...

Remember those Super Junior MVs??? Yea... I'm glad that SM took the time and money to make the music video. I heard that the whole video was shot in Thailand... WHOAAAAA WHATAATATATA?? The girls looked racial ambiguous but it turns out... They are Thai!!! WHATATATATTATAA?? IKR!!! I seriously thought that they were a mixture of like... BLEAHFJKFHSJD... Yea... OKay... Moving on... The MV concept is weird though... Like the girls kidnapping all of them, and then they look morbidly confused as they tred through a bamboo forest, and then stare at the girl while she dances with her high-low shirt. Yea... Gurl, you don't kidnap people in shirts and shorts... But who am I to judge, I am currently wearing my PE clothes from middle school and purple sweat pants.
BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!!! The beautiful girls then dances with them... Yea.... But I am still extremely jealous of them because they got to hug SHINee. Another thing about their outfits. So a few years back, when SHINee was still hotpockets, I always complained about their stylist because they went bonkers when they went on stage. This one outfit that I remember was that one of them was wearing studded teal jeans, with a red Leopard print scarf, and a yellow jacket. So when I saw their outfits in this MV... I was extremely pleased. NOTICE THE PAST TENSE OF WAS. Then when I saw them live on MBC Music Core, they had their shirts tucked in with a super thin belt holding their pants up. UGH SHIVERS I CANNOT. Then I saw a picture online of Key... I think and he looked like a employee from Target.
Besides the outfits, the song is super awesome!! I've learned to get use to it and the song is like this whole wavy hipster thing... That is very different from the stuff on my SoundCloud playlist currently, because it does not have any rap and the beat just grows on you like any other SHINee song. Until next time, stay cool ma beans!!

Sunday Funday: The Day of Nothingness

8:54 PM

APs are over, so my life is starting to go back to normal. Waking up on Sunday at around nine or 12 (it all depends on what I'm doing that day) then eating breakfast... I usually eat junk in the morning like chips or popcorn... I had Cheetos this morning. Yea... Then when lunch rolls around, I eat some food and then go and take a nap until 1, then go shopping for the rest of the day. At night, I just lounge around like a cat and watch The X Files... I know, I'm dorky, but I love that show... It is nine seasons of awesome!! Well, today was some what close to that. I met up with my BFF to watch a movie at 9:45 hoping that we would get a chance to movie hop until 2. But of course not, the popcorn cashier had to be looking straight at us when we walked out. So we decided to watch Pitch Perfect 2 today, and I gotta say, this one is so much better than the last first movie...

Only if you like more singing (which I do) than a plot. I love the German group, OH MY GOD!! Their physical appearance is amaze balls!! I think I might possibly spoil the movie for those of you who have not seen it yet, so I will do a reaction for this movie later. After the movie, it was probably some time around 12, it was an hour before my mom could pick me up, so we decided to walk around the place for like another hour. We literally strolled like old people around the place until 1. I seriously needed to shop because I haven't gone physically inside a store for ages, and I didn't have that much cash with me today, so I took a trip with my awesome beans mom to Ross. I've made a post about my daily routine and it kinda goes over the stuff that I wear and the thing is, I don't shop in mainstream stores. I've never bought one thing from Pacsun or Forever21.
I do buy things from Hollister, but it's mostly the round neck T-shirts but now since everything is so scandy, I decided to stay away from that store too. I bought four article of clothing and I love every single one of them so much!! Let's start with my T-shirt dress which is this grey T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the quote, "Me. Wrong? Never." I love it because it looks super classy, and I can literally make a outfit out of it just by adding on leggings or during the summer just wearing flip flops. The second and third piece are both black T-shirts that I absolutely love!! I have really fat arms, so I have to wear things with sleeves. This first T-shirt has a band of sew on tribal print and the black is this straight piece of fabric also with the same pattern with the ends open. The other black shirt has two white arrows on the chest pocket, and two arrows in the back. The fourth article of clothing was a pair of shorts that is silk and has this blue and white pattern on it. OKAY moving on!! I made rice crispy and cupcakes when I went home. They are orange flavored (not the rice crispy but the cupcakes). And right now, I am currently watching We Got Married. Wow this post was long, but the point was that I did absolutely nothing educational today!! Goal accomplished! Until next time, stay cool ma beans!!

Q&A Thursday: Get ready with me...

9:27 AM

I watched like ten YouTube videos about "getting ready" for the day, but never once could I related to the video since no one freaking have time to put on make up after PE class nor do I have any of the clothing that the YouTuber has, so let's see how I get ready.
Q: Do you wear make up?
A: Okay, so I sleep at like 1:30 am every day, so when I look really tired and my eyes looks like cats squinting... I would wear white eyeliner at the corner of my eyes and blend it out to make me look more awake. I learned this trick from this online this Facebook post.


Q: Do you ever find your outfits the night before?
A: Uh... Okay I tried to do this like a few times but it never worked out because first of all CA has the craziest weather in the world, so like there is a high chance that the weather you see the night before is not the same as the weather the next day.
Q: What's your process in the morning.
A: I wake up every day at like 7 so like I use ten minutes to do everything that involves cleaning myself. So I would brush my teeth, wash my face, and then put on contacts. YAY!! I'm done!!
Q: What face wash do you use?
A: If you watch a lot of YouTube like me, Clean Clear always have those "teen" commercials talking about their face wash. Yea I am currently using that and I really think that the Clean Clear wakes me up. I guess it's a mind set... Like after I use this, I would think that I am awake... Or am I????
Q: What do you wear on a daily basis?
A: Okay so, I usually just wear T-shirt and shorts during the summer. My favorite outfit though is probably a plaid shirt with short shorts and a white tank top. It's super cute and it hides my fat. During the winter, I just wear a shirt with a jacket. I usually wear a different scarf for every single day of the week, and I try to match my scarf with my outfit.

Q: How many pairs of shoes do you have?
A: These questions are getting off topic... LOL... Idk actually lol... I have lucky red Vans, a pair of black Converse high tops. I have four different pairs of flip flops because I love them... And I wear them with leggings. Since my feet are like size 4 kids, I wear children flats and boots. My favorite pair is my black combat books. 
Q: Do you take naps?
A: YES!! I take 1 hour nap when I go home everyday after school. It's getting ahead on sleep, so I can sleep later at night. LOL
