Catching Fire The Movie{sort of not really a review}
Hello lovelies! How are you guys doing today? I wanted to talk about how amazing Catching Fire was. I can't explain how awesome it was. There might be SPOILERS so be aware of that if you want to see the movie and find out for yourselves. OK. Where do I start?! I guess I'll start with the opening scene. The opening scene is Katniss in the forest, facing the rising sun. The little things I liked that are pretty nerdy of me to like; but it was how they filmed some of the scenes. The positioning of the camera in some scenes were perfect. SPOILER! One of them was towards the end when Katniss is on the floor right after she got zapped after blowing up the dome of the arena. They put the camera on the floor facing the side of her face. Behind the side of her face on the other side is the explosions happening in the background from her blowing up the arena. I JUST CANT HANDLE THIS MOVIE. I'm actually having a hard time explaining this because it's just such a good movie. So, sorry if some things are not very clear.
In the end, they stop you at a cliffhanger, where Gale is explaining to Katniss that there is no more District 12; but that there is a 13. Then the mockingjay pin shows up, and then moves its wings to where it is apart from each other, like Jesus on the cross. After the credits, I read that there was an extra scene, but I didn't know about it until after I watched the movie 2 times! I really wished that I saw it, if there actually was anything more. I guess I'll either have to watch it again, or just wait till the DVD comes out. I cannot wait 2 more years for both part 1 and part 2 of Mockingjay to be out. Yes, they are basically trying to kill us by making us wait 2 years!!! I know it's one next year and then one more after that, but I just can't wait that long. I know it's a problem.

Recent Favorites - Day 2
Hey there folks! How are you guys doing? I'm am doing fine! Today's topic (Day 2) is going to be my recent favorites. It's going to be random favorites from videos to nail polish to many other random things. I'll do my top 5 recent faves. These are all equally my favorites, but I will start with 1.
1. Recently I was introduced to Tim Hawkins. He is a comedian, and makes me laugh my head off with some of the things he says. He has kid-friendly jokes and he sings a little too! Two of his songs that I enjoy are "Hey There Delilah" and "Homeschool Blues". Here are the YouTube links for the songs. They are also on iTunes, which is very convenient
Home-School Blues & Hey There Delilah . Just click on them to go straight to the video!
2. There is a movie that came out recently. It's called "Monster's University" and yes, I fell in love with the movie. I saw the movie, then actually visited UCLA for a school field trip a few weeks later. At UCLA the structures of the buildings are very similar to the ones from the movie! I am pretty sure they got inspiration from there. Another movie that I LOVE is "Catching Fire". Yes, I have read the books, and yes I liked them. Actually in a few hours I am going to watch it again with a friend! If I tell you my fave parts I will totally spoil the movie. But overall I loved it and you should go watch it too!
3. A couple of my recent fave apps are Candy Crush and Akinator. Candy crush is self-explanitory, but Akinator is super cool! It's a genie that asks you questions about a real-life person or fictional character that you think of. It's super cool. The only bad thing is that it is $1.99 on the app store. I think it depends on you, if you think it's worth it or not.
4. My fave nail polish for fall//winter is O.P.I's "Planks A Lot". I think it's from a collection that they made a few years ago. It's a purple-ey greyish color. It is not too seasonal, but goes with the darker shade of colors for the colder seasons.
5. AH! My last one?! Ok. A book that I read on my phone recently was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It is a very emotional book about a teen with stage 4 cancer. I don't want to say much because I will probably spoil it for you. But if you get a chance to read anything, I recommend that book.
Thanks for reading! Have a blessed day!
Love, Natalie Grace

Thanksgiving Blog Challenge - Day 1
Well, Hello there! Long time no see! This week is Thanksgiving, and yes I know it's come too soon. I am thankful for a lot of things this year and I am also going to challenge myself and blog everyday till the day of Thanksgiving or the day after because I'm probably going to want to blog Black Friday pictures & the day of Thanksgiving! I am going to call it the "Thanksgiving Blog Challenge" I TOTALLY am gonna do this, but hopefully I'll remember to do it everyday. I am not too interesting and I also will try not to be too boring. I might post what was in my day, or a recipe I like, or maybe what I am thankful for. Today I will start by just typing what has happened recently. I just started public school this year and this week is my first WHOLE week of break! I feel so independent because I am not forced to go to school, because there is no school! Of course I did have like one day vacations, but you still have homework for those kind of day offs. I will kind of miss my friends, but I most certainly won't miss school for a week! I use to be home-schooled if you were wondering. Those years were the best years of my life. Of course high school is probably going to be the best years of my life too, but home-schooling is different. You can make your own schedule, and finish school before lunch, which is the BEST feeling ever(for me at least)! I am the type of person who likes to finish their homework first to feel free for the rest of the day, and be assured that I've finished all my homework. I like to have a bunch of free time. Such as going on my phone, my laptop, or spending time with my family. I do miss being home-schooled, but am grateful that my parents decided for me to see how the world is like; the real world. Public high school is as real as it gets, and I'm not kidding. Yes, being home-schooled is very fun. It's not boring at all in my opinion! I was/am social, and I did have a life during being home-schooled. I grew up in the church, and have grown up with most of my friends. I have made a lot of friends in public school who live close to me and am very glad I met them. I really hope I have been a good example at school; to my teachers and fellow classmates. This world is a fallen world in the darkness, and it needs the light to see what truly is important in this world.
Whoa, I went pretty deep today. Deeper than I thought. Hopefully you learned something new today, and I am thankful for YOU! If you actually read all of this, I applaud you for actually reading ALL of this (is that weird? Hopefully not). Hope you have a BLESSED day!
<3, Natalie

High School Football Games
Last night there was a football game at my high school against Temple City. I was SO excited because it was my first H.S football game! It was so cool being there on the bleachers, and rooting for my team while having hot dogs and churros with my dad (and friends)! I took my big camera and got some cool shots! Here are just a few of them!

In the end we won 55-2 and I had a really fun time! I just wish I got MORE pictures! Thanks for reading! Have a good day!

See Ya Later, Disneyland
Recently, we went to Disneyland and California Adventure for the last few days of having an annual pass. We went for a few days, and of course I took some pictures, but mostly with my phone. Here are just a few of them.
 | |||||
| Of course I HAD to take a pic of the infamous castle! |
 | ||||
| We had to drop by at Aladdin's place! |
| My sister is on the left, and I'm the one on the right. Yep the one with blue and white stripes. |
 |
| Paradise Pier <3 |
 | ||
| HOLLYWOOD TOWER OF TERROR! |
FACT: The Hollywood Tower of Terror is the tallest building in Anaheim!
 |
| If you go to CA Adventure then you should check out the Aladdin show! |
 | |
| Cars Land! |
If you want to go on Radiator Spring Racers, then I recommend going before the park opens! It will look busy, but you might only be in line for the ride for 20 minutes! It depends so don't mark my word.
Hope you enjoyed these pictures! I won't be going to Disneyland for a while, but I'll see ya later alligator!
Bye <3
