Taylor Swift On My "canvas"
So my internet broke down for 2 days. So I went to my cousins' house so, at least, I have something to do. My cousins aren't my age. The oldest one is 6 years younger than me. Then there are also her younger brother and sister who are 4 and 1 years old. Though it's a bit childish, here's what we did.
My cousin and my little sister painted something (I dont really have an idea what it was). I helped them with it. Well, a little. But then I decided to paint something else on my own. Here's what I did. :O
It's quite simple but LOOK! It has Taylor Swift on it! Oh and her cat! I'm not really into art and I'm apparently the worst painter for my age. But I think this is so cute because Taylor's on it. I figured that Taylor has blue eyes and blonde hair. And she wears boots and red dress on almost every concert. And purple is Taylor's favorite color. And her cat, I dont really know about her. She's gray and white coloured. :P

Daddy-Role-Model
I know everybody has a role model. Everybody needs a role model. But first of all, what is the definition of 'role model'? Here's what wikipedia says role model is:
But something I should be grateful about is I have an amazing father. I think he's not like other fathers and nobody in this world can ever replace him. The reason is because he is uptight and fun at the same time. But beside that, there are several reasons why I love him.
The first reason is because he loves my mom and his family. He knows just how to show that he cares for us and I think not everyone can do that. No matter how busy he is, he's always got opportunity for his family. Usually he spends his time with us by going out together, sharing each other's interests, playing games, and many more. Those are actually things you wanna do with your friends. But daddy's got a thing to make us glad.
Another reason is how protective he is. Often, I have trouble asking for permission from my parents to do things without their supervision, especially with my dad. Usually I go like, "Oh come on why won't you trust me! I'm not 5 anymore!" But usually then I realize that he just wants to protect me and he doesn't want anything bad to happen. So I think, parents are being protective is not for their own good but ours.
Beside those reasons, I love him because he is really devoted to God. He doesn't see things only according to his thought but also to God's opinion. This really impacts my life, too, because he teaches me that I need God and I can't live without Him. God's love to us is inseparable. I grew up with his advice to live according to God's world and to worship him. That's not all. Every Sunday night, dad gathers all of us and pray together. This is one routine in my family that has made many people amazed. Because I know, not every family has enough time to do that. But things like that are important.
Sooooo,, yes. That's it. That is HOW my dad has really been my role model. ;))
The term role model generally means any "person who serves as an example, whose behavious is emulated by others.Usually, everbody's first role models are their parents. However, there can be good role model and not-good role model (instead of saying 'BAD' role model). That's why it is important for parents to control themselves because whatever they do, children will follow. Just like how the quote "like father like son" means.

Taylor Swift is My Angel!
I've come up with a great topic to talk about. I want to talk about the person I've been admiring for a long time. She's a famous country singer and she's beautiful. Of course almost everybody knows who Taylor Swift is. Some people ask me why do I adore Taylor Swift so much and what's so special about her. Sometimes they even suggest me other singers who are even famous than Taylor. I realized that Taylor is not the best singer in the world, but I've figured out why she is the best person in my world.
The main reason why I really like Taylor is not because of her talents in music. Instead, I adore her point-of-view about life. I think she is a very strong person. I heard that she was once a victim of bullying when she was still in school because her friends were jealous. But Taylor chose to stay strong and hold on. Taylor is different from her friends. It could be something to be upset about, but she chose to see it from the bright side. "If you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change," Taylor said.
Taylor has saved my life many times. I've been a bully victim many times at school and I realized the reason is because I'm different from my friends. At first I thought, maybe there is something wrong with me. I kept on asking "Why am I different from others?" inside my head and I cried about it many nights. However, whenever I think about Taylor, I realize that I'm not alone. Since then, I never wanted to be the same anymore. People can be cruel, but they can never change us. Taylor is right about one thing. If we are different from others, we are so lucky and it is something we should be grateful about.
Another reason why I adore her is because she is not like other girls. Of course every girl wants to be beautiful. However, many girls misunderstand the definition of 'beautiful'. For me, I think the definition of 'beautiful' is not about the physical things. Instead, it's about who you are inside. I know not all people can see that Taylor is beautiful. I think it's because they don't know her. But I think Taylor is beautiful because she is being herself and she is wonderfully beautiful inside and out. Now and then, I've been thinking. No matter how much make up we put on our faces, we can never be beautiful. Because what defines our beauty is our personality. And I really think Taylor Swift is the best definition of 'beautiful'.
The third reason is her music itself. I'm just a teenager and when you're a teenager, that's when you need music the most. My friends at school seem to know a lot about today's music. Most of my friends love songs that, for me, most of the times, don't make sense. They like Pitbull songs, Katy Perry songs, David Guetta songs, LMFAO songs, and others (I'm not saying that I hate them or something, because I think they're pretty awesome and I like some of their songs, too). And I think it's funny when sometimes people are being extreme or weird (or even inappropriate) to get attention. My dad told me so often that I should careful of what I listen to because it might be immoral. But I think I am totally safe because I listen to Taylor songs. Her songs are really good, and they are also beyond normal. That's not all. I heard that all of her songs are based on her real life. That's why I can really see sincerity in her songs and the meanings are really deep. And whenever I feel down, Taylor songs will always make me feel better.
I think Taylor Swift is a perfect role model. What she had been through made her who she is now and it's totally worth it. That tells us that everyone here has their own problem, but in the end, we all know it's going to be something good. Taylor won an award in Billboard Music Awards 2012 for Woman of the Year, I know she really deserves it. If I could have just one wish, I would really like to meet her in person and thank her for everything. I LOVE YOU, TAYLOR!

Real Valentine's Day
I can bet that there are lots of things going on in this Earth today. Everyone knows what day is today. Lots of people know Valentine's day as the day of sharing love. Many people wronged Valentine's day with these because they don't really know the history of Valentine's
Valentine's day was first celebrated on 1969 when a martyr, a Christian martyr, named Valentinus died and people started to celebrate Valentine's Day every 14 February to remember about what he did. According to what my religion teacher says, Valentinus died helping poor people and he risk every inch of his life for them. Which is where Valentine's Day started. It is said that there wasn't even any romance in Valentine's Day at first.
Later then, people forgot about the history. They started to use that day to share love with family, friends, and soulmates. Me, myself agreed about this because sometimes I don't realize and forget about the history, too. But ask yourself. Suppose if Valentine's Day is the day of love and romance, aren't everyday should be Valentine's day? We should love our neighbors for the whole 365 days a year. God told us to do so.
Celebrating Valentine's day is always a fine thing to do, but we'll have to realize what actually we are celebrating. That is one of those things that we have to take note at. We shouldn't do something if we don't have any reason. In fact now, Happy Valentine's, people! :D
