Hatred is like a pit with stakes. Once you fall in its almost impossible to get out. The darkness is what you feel, and the stakes going through you is the hetred stabbing your limp body. You have no control over the pain you feel. But what has caused you to feel this pain? Is it someone who you despise.  Well whoever they are they are not worth the hatred stabbing at your guts.These pass days I have been feeling this way. At the beginning of this week I fell into the pit.After almost a week of the stakes killing me I go pulled out by the people who i always have at my side. They were the rope that rescued me and the person that pulled me out. Even though at times i still feel the hate for that person i am no longer in the pit. I have learned that throwing myself into that hatred will only be stabbing myself. It will hurt me way more than the person i hate. Hating will always interfer with your life. You just have to learn to ignore it and stop yourself from walking into a trap. The trap is the pain, the Hate, The stakes threatening your life. But in this case, it turns your soul into a evil one. This is what i have learned. I am not saying that the pit will never threaten my life again, but i have learned to stay away. Even though in the future i will make the same mistake and fall right back in. At least now i know it is not worth your pain, your energy, your life.

I was in Babynames.com and i searched my name. i found out that my name(Katrina) means PURE it describes me so well . My name is also German. I then searched my friends name. Marina, her name means of the sea, it is a latin name. Well isnt it fun to just figure out what your name really means? cause until now i didnt even know my name was german.

I just finished watching a book trailer. The book trailer I saw was Who Am I Without Him? It was a little bit encouraging to make me want to read it. because it was about romance and betrayal. There are a couple stories in that book and they are mostly about relationships. Once i have a chance to find the book i think i will read it. The story that they decided to do the trailer on was about a girl and her boyfriend. He cheated on he with one of the girls she hated. And now her hatred is placed on both of them.

Well usually my summers are BORING!…. But this year I might be going to California =D.. WOO HOO!!! We are going to go to universal studios!! there are going to be so many exciting fun things that we are gonna be able to do :)….  I’ve have been there once before but that was when i was only 6. I went with my family. But to me the most important memory from that time was that i was with my father. He was there with me and shortly after we came back he passed away. When the family was with him we went to Disney world, Universal studios, and some other places I cant remember. =D . So one of the places i want to go most is california! In universal studios I’m going to go to the Jurassic Park Ride. It brings you up to a very high height. Then it has some sights at the top. There are plastic dinosaurs and they squirt water at you. Then unexpectedly it drops. It drops into a gigantic pools of water. It is very scary but at the same time it is very fun! ! Another ride that i want to go on is the Back to the future ride. Its not like a very scary ride but it sure can make you throw up :(. you go on a car that is held up. you sit in front of a screen and you put on seat belts. the the screen looks like it is 3D and it looks like it is throwing stuff at you. Then the car starts to shake… Well hey thats what my summer is gonna be like

But have you ever tried to imagine what that man has to go through? just try, try to imagine of what he has to see, hear, and go through everyday.

I just went to the Internet Movie Database. (IMDB). And currently, the most popular movie is Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skulls. The movie earned a total of $151M
The Movie was about Indiana Jones Looking for a Crystal skull that was thought to be a myth. Ox, one of his old friends had been captured, and he saves him and finds the treasure of knowledge.
If i could pick any 1 movie to watch it would be Kung Fu Panda.Even though it hasnt come out in our area People from other places have very positive comments about it. they said its the best since shrek. currently the 3 movies that made the most money was Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skulls(151M), Chronicles of narnia prince caspian(96.7M), and Iron man ( 258M). I have seen 2 of the three movies that made the most money and i think Iron man and Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skulls were both worth their money but i dont know about chronicles of narnia price caspian because i havent seen it yet.

The less you relax the more stressed out you get… for example: this morning I left my painting at my house.. i called my house to see if my brother had left yet. and he had. so i told my little brother to get me the painting.. and he didn’t listen to me.. i was getting worried that i would be late for school but in the end i wasnt. see the less you relax, the more you stress you..HAHAHA

the less mcdonalds you eat the healthier you are.

the less you chop down tree the more oxygen we have.

the less you argue the happier you are

the less you respect others the more you will be disrespected

I just finished reading an article and watching a video on why the  chinese are killing the tibetans. The tibetans invaded their area where the chinese had taken over. they were protesting.The tibetans were protesting to protect the chinese from taking over them….. The chinese claimed that the tibetans were killing innocent civilians and they were attacking everyone so the tibetans were killed

In the video it talked about how the Chinese were shooting the tibetans on their travels across the moutian. the Traveled to see and touch him… they would even risk their own life to see him. The Dali Lama is their spiritual leader….. The chinese said that they told the tibetans to leave and when they refused they were shot.

I just finished reading a book called a child called it.. the story was a true one… i think it was horrible what this child had to go through.. i would never have been able to imagine that there are people in the world that will do such horrible things for their pleasure. It makes me realize how lucky i am to have a family that loves me and cares for me. my mom loves me and always wants me to do my best in everything that i try.. i cant believe that i once thought that my life was horrible because i got in trouble for what my brother did.. the kid in the story was only aknowledge as the boy.. or it.. this story really taught me how lucky i am and how unlucky some people are… This is for you dave pelzer.. i hope you can forget all of that and continue helping and doing what you think is right….

I think it is hard to get people to eat healthy food because they don’t like how it taste and they like the other foods better

the companies that sell the fruits and vegetable should advertise more. Parents should encourage kids to eat more healthy foods and so should the teachers. they shouldn’t encourage the students to buy junk and fast food.

I just finished watching another part of super size mehh!! in this part it showed a school cafeteria where they had french fries and very unhealthy foods for their lunch.

for lunch here at our school i think the food is unhealthy. i think our food is unhealthy because sometimes when i eat the  school food it is really greasy.

i would like to see more healthy food in our cafeteria. i would like to see less canned fruits, which is really sweet. i would like to see less greasy foods. like their pizza could be a little less greasy.
