Christmas. It's just a matter of time till everyone tackles you for the present that you'd didn't get them. Oh! How I love the Christmas spirit. The special drinks at Starbucks, the snow that you see elsewhere, and the presents. Right, the presents that you dismissed yourself from getting.
The thing about presents is, at least for me, is looking for something that person would like... But everyone knows dreams and wishes aren't cheap. So you settle with a gift card BUT you think to yourself and wonder if you're being too inconsiderate. I mean, it's the thought that counts right? NOPE! For me, I don't want my present to be thrown out or kept in the back of the garage. I need to find a unicorn. YES.
Maybe, I could wish for snow, like the kids do in those movies. I could learn how to fly and just throw piles of ice down right? It's pretty much the same thing to me. I could also read someone's mind and give them snow because some dreams have to be made. You can have anything you want! But you have to build it! With what you ask? You guessed it! SNOW! Just let it snow dreams.
Alright, maybe frozen cold liquid isn't the best choice.. But you know, I think I'll just give candy to everyone. If they don't like candy, they can give it to their dentist. He/she would be glad to accept the sugar.. right? Maybe they can even wrap it up again after a bite or two and give it to someone else. Half a candy bar isn't that noticeable!
Alright, alright, alright. Ill tell you now. DO NOT. Do not learn not learn how to fly and throw ice down at me. Ice hurts people.Second, do not give your dentist candy. You will never see sweet skittles again. Last but not least, find and buy a magical being as soon as possible. A unicorn, a mermaid, a bunny.Wait. Bunnies aren't magical? Or are they ??? A bunny! Buy one and give one to everyone you know. Trust me, as someone you can't trust. Buy one for everyone.
Why you ask? Because magical things are what we humans want the most. Right?

Chapter 2
I smell like fear, like sweat. Regret fills my mind. Why didn't I storm out as soon as I got up? Why didn't I eat that hospital food? It would have been gone anyways. Thrown up on the ground because what I felt wasn't a walk in the park. It was like being on a never ending rollercoaster, and I, stuck to motion sickness hated rollercoasters.
Everything was in one of those scenes in a movie where everything goes in slow motion. She was pulling out a needle as she said something I didn't quite get. It doesn't matter anyways. I was going to die. The door swings open, and I open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out.
A boy stormed into the room, after the door, tall and skinny. He wore a long red jacket that swung to his sides as he ran in. Before I knew it, he was slapping the needle out of the nurses hand and shaking me like I were an earthquake. "ARE YOU OK??" he screamed, still panting. I stared at the nurse in the corner, and nodded with the rhythm of his shakes. Why did he look so familiar?
The nurse stood up and brushed dust off her skirt. " What's your problem? I was drawing some blood for some tests!", she exclaimed. I just sat there as the boy just stood there staring at her. I-I- I'm sorry! I shouted. Why am I so stupid? Did I want to die that much? She got another needle out and continued as the boy moved to the corner of the room. It was dead silent, but my ears filled with the pounding of my heart. Before I knew it, the nurse fled with the flash of her buzzer but I couldn't stop looking at him. I didn't care about her..Why was he so familiar?
He looked up, and I was caught. He had large hazel brown eyes that met mine. His ears, big and round, like a monkey's hugged his face which reminded me of the sun. The closer you got, the hotter he got, but if you were to get to too close, he would burn you with overwhelming heat. This was my story. This was the present, and I didn't know how to deal with the future. He gave a sad smile, and walked out. I didn't get his name, but I didn't stop him. He wasn't going to give it to me anyways, and I wasn't going to give mine.

Chapter 1
CHAPTER 1
The room was quiet -too quiet for me. A million questions filled my mind. What day was it? What time was it? Why was I sitting in the hospital? I looked towards the clock, the only thing that made a noise. A tick, tick, tick and, another. The main question I should be asking was, who am I?
I crawled out of bed, only to be restrained by the cords covering my body. I fell to the floor, and the room filled with a consistent beeeeeppppp. The sound itself drew a dozen people in the room. I closed my eyes, and they carried me to the bed again.
I woke up towards the afternoon, the sun burning me as I lie helplessly on the bed. The blinds made a straight line on my eyes, telling me to turn to the other side. I was suprised to see someone sleeping on the edge of the bed.Who was this? Female or male? I couldn't tell under the black hoodie.
The next day, I was alone again. The blinds were closed, and the room was a vast desert of tile. I struggled to find something. Anything, that would make me remember. I looked on the table to see a paper that read,
Name: Christine Akana.
The rest was torn, like someone tried to hide my identity. Suddenly, a person entered the room, and I quickly closed my eyes. "I know you're awake!" The girl said. I opened my eyes to see her close enough to feel her breathe. It all came back. The murder, the woman, the person with the grey hoodie. She was going to kill me.

Coca-Cola ~Good and bad?
From the article below, you'll see that coke doesn't do you any good in the inside, but it sure makes things shiny on the outside !
Coke may be a refreshing beverage, but it makes a big impact on our bodies. It can lead to sickness like lung cancer. The acids in coke also weakens your bones. This is because your stomach takes calcium from your bones to break down the coke.
What some of you guys may not know is that coke is a good cleaning product. Because of its acidic content, it can clean coins, to the tiles on your floor. http://www.realfarmacy.com/20-practical-uses-for-coca-cola-proof-that-coke-does-not-belong-in-the-human-body/ Check it out yourself and think twice before you take a sip of that soda!

Saving Our Planet with Our Waste
Solving Our planet with Our Waste
I found this interesting article about how we can prevent further global warming, and saving a few owls by peeing in the shower.
It may sound silly but peeing in the shower saves water instead of flushing the toilet, and it saves time while you shampoo your hair. You have to admit, the process is efficient!
Facing the facts, humans have destroyed plate earth. It's time to start giving some life back.
Go check out the article! http://news.yahoo.com/science-save-earth-peeing-shower-190635500.html

Dr. Welle makes a good point, saying, " Everyone is a little bit racist or sexist." And its true. Most people undermine others without seeing that we had done it. Around the world today, you could see it in our jobs, schools, and homes. It follows us everywhere, which also brings up how we could be the ones that bring it up. Before you know it, people would be agreeing or disagreeing with you, causing a huge misunderstanding. An example that Farhad Manjo stated was "an interviewer asked a male and female manager who had recently begun sharing an office, 'Which one of you does the dishes?” This is an example of how people state things that they didn't intend to be harmful. In the end, someone did stand up for the two managers and exclaimed, " “Unconscious bias!”
Although we may be a little bias, he also states that " The more we make ourselves aware of the role our unconscious plays in our decision-making, and the more we try to force others to confront their biases, the greater the chance we have of overcoming our hidden preferences." Although this may be true, I believe that some people are aware but just doesn't care about how others see them as bias people. On the other hand, unconscious bias are everywhere ( Farhad Manjo states at the end of his article) and it would take a while to stop this habit. To make the conflict known may be enough to light a match in other companies who will hopefully follow googles lead.
