Wild Waters Water Park!

There are many different water parks in California. There is Raging Waters, Raging Rapids but the one I enjoyed a lot when my dad took me is Wild Waters. Whenever I tell people about it they always say  “What’s that?” or “Don’t you mean Raging Rapids?” but in this case no. Sure I haven’t  been there in a while but I remember a lot about it! The food was good, its clean and it’s FUN! They have a wave pool too! Oh my gosh! I love that place! They have high rides, low rides, swimming pools and more! Make sure you wear a bathing suit though because you are bound to get WET! I wish I can go there again! The workers are nice and help you out with anything you need help with! The only thing is the closest one to us is by Fresno (about 5 hours away) wish there was one closer! But if your passing by make sure to stop by! :)

Dara Donuts Ice Cream Review

Dara Donuts Ice Cream Review 

If you're in the mood for a donut or two this is the place to go! This small business  has all the donut flavors you want but they go fast! They have anything from glazed to plain and even sprinkles. The owner of this little donut shop on 369 S Mountain Ave Upland, CA 91786‎ is very nice and will slip in the occasional free donut or donut hole. You can't say anything bad about these guys! Their glazed donuts are flawlessly fluffy and glazed perfectly. Their plain donuts aren't really plain. They have just a hint of sweetness and will take your taste buds on an adventure. And you cant get enough of those donut holes! They are just as dreamy as a glazed donut but just in fun size.

Enough about donuts, what about their ice cream?  Or how about ice cream for $1?  That's right Dara Dognuts has Thriftty's Ice Cream for a dollar every day. Everyone probably knows about the Handle's that is just two stores away and their over priced ice cream, and it's good but Dara Donuts has equally delicious ice cream but it is barely noticed. Remember guys the next time you want to save a few bucks when you are satisfying your sweet tooth walk (or drive) on over to Dara Donuts Ice Cream!

Review on Raging Waters

                        The first time i went to raging

                         waters i promised myself that

 i would never go again. First

off they were overpriced.  The

general admission is like 

$37.99, that's like too expensive.

 And that's not the only thing that is

over charged. There's overpriced

 parking..overpriced food..

overpriced lockers..and their

 funnel cakes are overpriced

 and disgusting.

(Magic Mountain has better ones if

i do say so myself). I would also like

 to say that the it's really dirty there.

There's dirty water and dirty bathrooms.

(I warn you use the bathroom before you leave home).

There is a serious bee problem, they swarm around the eating area. Its understandable because it is a water park but you would think they could do something about it. The eating area itself is not maintained clean at all, and it is my guess that it is not cleaned until the end of the day, because garbage was collecting around the tables and when the cleaning boy did show up, he swept up trash that had fallen from the trash can, and moved on.That's dirty if you ask me.
The only fun rides, to me at least was the Drop Out, High Extreme, and Dr. Von Darks Tunnel of Terror. The rest of the rides were bombarded with little screaming wet kids. Oh, and speaking of kids, I don't really like the idea of them being with me in the water, I think you know why.

Goal for 2013

My goal for 2013 is to be a little less shy and to talk to people. People always ask me, “Why don’t you talk to people?” My response is either, “There is nothing to talk about,” or, “I don’t know you that much.”

It would be nice to know more people though, than just sit next to a bunch of complete strangers I don’t know. The least I could do is to talk about school, or ask questions to people around me. I’m not going to be running my mouth off all day talking to people, I just have to become less shy.

            This will also help me next year. I might not be going to the same school as my friends. So if I go to this new school, instead of moping all day I can make new friends. I just do not want to be as shy as I am right now.

I also want to be in track & field in high school. For instance, for relay races, you have a team, you have to cooperate with each other, you have to pass the baton. You have to have a strategy, there are 4 people, so who is going to go where? Slow receiving of the baton can prevent the team from winning the race.

So, I have to cooperate with the team, and talk to them. Being not that shy can open new doors and have many advantages to it. 

What Are Your Goals?

      What are my goals in life? I have A LOT! Every person I think should have goals in life, even if their silly ones like having 40 cats or to go see the world largest rubber band ball.  On the other hand its good to have educational goals, or goals for what you want to do when you get older. Some people want to be a dentist, some want to be a doctor…. But in my case I want to be a veterinarian but that’s not the only goal I have.

     

     One of my man goals right now is to lose weight I’m not going to be like those people who say “I’m going to lose weight” an then half an hour later their eating a Big Mac or something. Haha . I have my mind set on it! I can lose weight by doing multiple things different.

1.  Stop eating chips and cookies for snack and eat apples, cucumber, celery etc.

 2.Start exercising more often

3.Start checking calories and fats in the food I eat

And a lot more stuff but those are the main things. I’m just hoping that by losing weight ill stop getting made fun of. That is one of my inspirations. I want to look better, and feel better. it will help me be a happier me. Sure it will be hard but it will be worth it in the long run…don’t you think?

     So don’t get discouraged by the people around you. I can’t let them get to me so you shouldn’t either.  If you set your mind to it then go through with it. What are your goals?

My Goal? Volleyball

My Ultimate Goal This Year Is To Get Better At Volleyball.

That can mean many things. Volleyball has a wide range of concepts you need to know to become a better player so i will narrow down the details a bit.

• I play club volleyball on a 14-2's team
• I am a middle blocker

Here are the steps I will take to achieve this goal by the end of the season:

1.) Jumping- I am the main blocker so I need to jump high over the net to block the balls that are being hit over from the other team. In order to jump high I need to strengthen my legs, especially my calves. I already do 2 exercises to do this. 

• Jumping at random times. This might be a little weird but sometimes I'll just randomly pull myself from whatever i'm doing and touch the ceiling. I mainly do this in the morning, during commercial breaks, and before I go to sleep. At this moment if I jumped and touched the highest ceiling in my house I can get about half of my middle finger to touch the ceiling. My goal is to be able to put my entire palm on the ceiling by the end of February. 
• Using exercise bands. I have a set of three different fitness bands each with different stretch levels. I use the hardest one, place the middle of the band in the middle of my foot, and just slowly push my foot out and in.

2.) Work on spit-second reactions-Sometimes a ball will get into a hard to reach spot and I have seconds to get to it. I need a lot of speed and endurance if I want the point. 

• To get speed and endurance I will use the elliptical more often. Running for about 30 minutes every other day will help me stay in the game and help me run faster across the court and give me endurance so that when I dive or fall, I will be able to get up really quickly and get back in the game.

                                                    Goals Goals Goals!!!

What are my goals for this year, 2013? Well they are quite simple actually. My big goal is to save at least 10% of my money , every time I get some money that is. I mean dosn't everybody want some money saved up for something big and extragavent that you want. I mean I do. Or it can be saved up as something like emergency cash in case of a emergency or something. I just like knowing that I have money, dosn't eveyone. I have to admit saving is hard, but once you get started it'll be a peice of cake.

One little goal to get me their is to stop buying stupid things. Period. No cheap anything from cheap stores like the 99 cent store. No buying things that I already have( I do that alot)Also Avoid impulse buying: Make it a habit to avoid impulse buying. Many of the things you want to buy do not seem all that necessary, if you only you wait for a day or two. Also, waiting means you will be able to check prices and make an informed decision to buy it at the best possible price.

My second little goal is to watch my spendinng at the theaters. If you like watching movies at the theater, go before 6:00 pm. This is one of my soft spots when it comes to spending. I really like watching movies in the theater with the big screen and the great sound effects. But instead of paying ~$15  for the ticket, I usually go before 6:00pm when the tickets are a little less expensive. Also, for movies that we don’t absolutely want to watch right away, we just wait until it shows on the discount theater where the tickets are $2-3 a ticket. We avoid the temptation to buy snacks, by sometimes sneaking in our own snacks in the purse. (Ok not sometimes all the time but I'm not the only one).

These 2 little steps will eventually lead me to my big goal!!!
Thanks for reading and have a nice day:)
