Hey geeks! I was on tumblr the other day and I saw this and I stopped scrolling and I kept staring at it. I read it over and over again and I began to think. Why do I hate myself? Most of you don't know, but I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) and daily life is pretty hard. Somebody once told me that you limit yourself, and that's true, but for people like me it's really hard not to. You start comparing yourself to other people and you start wondering "Why can't I be like that?" "Why can't I do things like that?". People don't see it, but it's so hard to be yourself in a world where you are just trying to fit in with everyone but deep inside you know that you will never be able to do what they do. You start to lose hope in yourself, you stop believing. Of course, since my world is based upon doctor visits and new treatments and daily pills. You feel sad about your life, you feel miserable. You're automatically known as the "cripple" kid or the lazy kid who doesn't do anything in PE or that special treatment kid who can have more time for exams or people that carry her books or people that write for her. It really sucks.

But, it DOESN'T have to be like that. You are better than that. You are strong and you can fend for yourself and you can ignore what they say, because no one knows what you ahve gone through. All the obstacles you face in life, you defeat them. You don't run away from your fears or difficulties you face them. You keep fighting and you keep winning, because you are not a doll that gets to be thrown all over the place. You are a beautiful human being that goes through all the hardships in life and you still end up smiling in the face of all your enemies.

Insecurities are a part of us. Pointing out your flaws and comparing yourself to others is human. We strive to be like others and have a flat stomach or toned thighs or whatever you want, But those insecurities make us, us. The thing that all humans have in common is that we're all different. You are special in your own way. Those things that you hate, they have served you well in life. Just like the picture, your legs have carried you where you want to go, your hands have written beautiful words, your arms have given the best hugs, your stomach has laughed loudly and has eaten the best food you have ever tasted.

I will not say you are perfect, because no one is perfect, but you are exactly the way you are meant to be. Remember that, and you will be invincible. You will be happier, smile at stupid things, and with a smile on your face you look prettier. You are strong, and nothing can take you down.

Hi geeks! Presenting.... (DUN DUN DUN DUUUN).... Claudette! Yup, that's me! That's the awkward, k-pop obsessed, drama queen, diva-ish, lazy Claudette! (my face is awkward. don't even talk about my hand right there). So yeah, one of my very good friends had a birthday dinner on Wednesday and I decided to get all glammed up! The restaurant wasn't fancy, so I decided to go on a more casual look, you could say (Nothing is ever casual for me, I must always look FABULOUS, hahaha.... no? okay.) I was really struggling with what to wear, I had like three different outfits to choose from, and I was asking everybody what to wear. In the end, I mixed and matched the three outfits. Now here are the details from the outfit:


This was my outfit for the dinner! It was a really good celebration, most of his friends were there and he was really happy. I met new people, had a laugh, and overall I had an awesome time. The best part was that even though we didn't know the other people there, we were able to bond over our common interests and understand each other better through our differences. I'm glad to have a friend like him and for him to have stuck by me for such a long time. If you're reading this, just know that I love you a lot, and I sincerely thank you for being by my side through everything. I hope everyone has a friend like this. Do you have someone that is your friend, to stick with you through thick and thin?

Hi geeks! Happy Valentine's Day! Ah, the day dedicated to love and friendship. Isn't it nice to dedicate a day to those friends who've been by your side through thick and thin? But then again, why not do that everyday? Just because there is a day for friendship doesn't mean you have to stop doing acts of kindness towards your friends. If you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, are you going to show them your undying love for them this day only? No! Do it EVERYDAY. Hug them, kiss them, show them that you care about them, no matter what day it is.

Anyway, today is all about being grateful for your friends and family, cherishing every moment you have together. Be thankful for every single person that's come into your life, and has left their mark in your heart (that rhymed hehe).

\As for me, today I got to spend the day having a good time with some of the most important people in my life, even though it was for a little bit. Plus I got a TON of candy. You can never go wrong with candy. (There you go again Claudia, rambling about food. I just can't help it.)

At least today is Friday (FINALLY I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER COME), so that means... THE WEEKEND. A relaxing few days away from all the stress to just sleep, eat, and watch Netflix (ah yes this is the life).

Oh, and by the way, wish me luck you guys! I have a singing audition tomorrow and I'm kinda nervous. Scratch that I'm really nervous. I just hope I don't forget any words and sing at the right time. Fighting!

I love you guys!

Hi geeks! Sorry I've been MIA for a while, I was on a "vacation" for a week and I forgot to bring my laptop ;-; (I know, I know, rookie mistake. I promise I'll never do it again, pinky swear!) I went to Indianapolis, and boy was it cold. I was FREEZING my face off. Literally. Everytime we went out, I had to put a scarf on half my face because my face would go numb. The good thing (good for me, I live on an island) was that there was snow EVERYWHERE. I got to play in the snow and have fun with my sisters. There was this really cool museum for children (I still go to children's museums, so what?) that had 4 floors and they were filled with stuff to do. My favorite one was one that had like these colored glass figures and you had to place them in statue sort of thing, so they could make this beautiful glass sculpture. You could mix and match colors and they would end up amazing. The best part about the trip was eating Dippin' Dots. THEY TASTE LIKE HEAVEN. Where I'm live, they don't sell Dippin' Dots, so everytime I go to the US, I always try to eat Dippin' Dots. Ah, good times... But all things must come to an end :( . I took some pretty pictures but I couldn't upload them because my computer is being a bitch and doesn't let me add them :-) (<---- I use this face when I'm frustrated). Then I took a little visit to Florida, 'cause you know, Florida's cool. So yeah, that's what I've been doing! Also, since I've been absent a week from school, I have a LOT of catching up to do :( .

Hi everyone! My name's Claudia and this is my blog! I'm still a bit new at this so bear with me. Anyway, this blog is where I'll post most of my fangirling momets and... mostly anything really! So yeah, hope you like it!
