❅ Christmas Tag 2014 ❅

As Christmas comes in two days, I wanted to do another tag called the Christmas Tag. It's famous on Youtube and some blogs. I thought today would be a perfect day to do so. I'm wrapped under the covers listening to Christmas music. Let's get started!

1.) What is your favorite Christmas film?
Answer: My favorite would have to be "A Christmas Carol".

2.) Have you ever had a White Christmas?
Answer: Yes! I've had many of them. I live in a place where I get all types of weather except tornadoes and tsunamis and all of those natural forces.

3.) Where do you usually spend you holiday?
Answer: I normally stay home where half of my family comes. Other times we travel to other family members that live in the state.

4.) What is you favorite Christmas song?
Answer: It would have to be "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley.

5.) Do you open presents/gifts on Christmas Eve?
Answer: I don't sadly. I get to open a small gift of mine at midnight of Christmas Day.

6.) Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Answer: I'm going to try (without using the internet!) Dasher, Vixen, Rudolph, Prancer... That's all I know. :-)

7.) What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year?
Answer: Well, on Christmas Morning, my great grandmother makes breakfast and we watch the parade on ABC 7. Later in the afternoon, I look forward to greeting my family members that travel to see us. At around 8pm that's when the gifts begin to unfold. I'm just happy to see my family and eat!

8.) Is your Christmas Tree real or fake?
Answer: It is fake.

9.) What is your all-time favorite holiday food/sweet treat?
Answer: Cookies probably.

10.) Be honest. Do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?
Answer: Honestly, I like receiving gifts, but for a reason. I feel my family thinks I deserve the gift so I don't feel as bad, but I do like to give back as well. I am very blessed to have the gifts that I've been given.

11.) What is the best Christmas gift you've ever received?
Answer: I would say my iPad.

12.) What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?
Answer: I would want to visit London.

13.) Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
Answer: I can wrap, but I don't do the wrapping.

14.) Most memorable holiday moment?
Answer: One of my favorite moments would have to be when my family gathers around the table before we open our gifts and say what were our favorite moments of 2014 and what we are thankful for.

15.) What made you realize the TRUTH about Santa?
Answer: I don't exactly what, but my aunt told me at about the age of 7 or 8 that he wasn't real and that's why there had been no gifts by my bed that morning and I cried to the top of my lungs!

16.) Do you make New Years' Resolutions? Do you stick to them?
Answer: yes I make them. I start to stick to them, but the ones that I know won't last long, I stop doing.

17.) What makes the holidays special for you?
Answer: What makes the holidays special for me is getting away from the stress of school work and being with the family and opening gifts and going on trips while I'm on break! Also eating and getting to sleep in!

That has been the 2014 Edition of The Christmas Tag. I hope you enjoyed it and that you might be interested in doing it!

Have A Holly Jolly Christmas and a dope New Year!
Love, Peace, and Gingerbread

✯ Live, Love, Laugh ✯

Hello everyone. I'm back with bigger and better things. This is kind of weird because I never really get these type of ideas from school to post on here, but today when I finished my test, I got bored and I didn't have my book to read at the moment. So, I took a piece a paper and started drawing. This is where the idea came in. I wrote on the paper: Live, Love, Laugh. I thought to myself why not do a little 3 week series on those three words. I call it "The L Series: Live, Love, Laugh." I will start next year. (2015) Please stay tuned and I hope you will love the series.

Love, Peace, & Beauty

Ladies & Gentlemen....... 100 Posts!

Hello everyone. As I've said plenty of times before, my name is Kaya. When I started this blog I was on 10 years old. I really didn't know a lot about blogging. I have a feel for writing very much. Through the months, I got used to blogging every Saturday afternoon and improved my writing. I loved the feeling of this because I got to interact with other people and they could relate to things I would post. To go from 1 to 100 in a year means a lot to myself. Whether it was just an update about the blog or something little. As I strive to make a 100 more, I want to say thank you to the people who read everyday, the people who wait for another blog post, or even the people who check once in a while! You gave me the boost to keep on writing and typing. So once again that you for 100 posts and I hope you're waiting for 100 more.

Love, Peace, & Beauty

Another Update Here....

Hello everyone. I recently started school this week and I really miss summer. You know I always give updates on whether I can post or a new schedule for me at the moment. So here it is my new schedule.

Since school has started I can mostly post on these days:
Friday night
Saturday
Sunday morning or afternoon

If there isn't any school because of a seasonal break I can post:
ANYTIME Yay!

If I have no homework and I probably haven't posted in a while:
The day I wasn't given any homework because the next day I might get homework.

Yep, so that is basically a little thing I put together so that I can be organized with my blog, schoolwork, and homework. Hopefully you can understand where I'm coming from. Thanks for always reading.

Love, Peace, and Leaves (fall is coming)

The Sixties

Hello everybody. I have something I've been wanting to share with a ton of people. I'm a really huge fan of the 1960s! Yes, I know it was a very hard time for America. The wars, killings, racism, and the biggest one: the assassination of three of my favorite people of that time period: John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. Some people might be thinking, "Aren't you happy to live in the time of technology, cool clothing, and better living?" My answer is, "Yes, yes I am." I just love the politics, TV shows, clothing, books, and the president! Boy was John F. Kennedy pretty handsome! Also with the Space launchings and the wars we had to deal with. I bet it was pretty hard for Kennedy to deal with.

I'm a very big fan of the Kennedy Family for sure. That's pretty much what I write about in my book of life. I like science especially with space. In 1968-1969, we went up in space and landed the first 'Man on the Moon.' I was really excited to read on it.

I enjoy reading anything on the 60s. If you give me a quiz on it, I'm pretty sure I would pass! In August, I will be reading a book on John & Jackie Kennedy and I'm very happy indeed to read it.

That is all for now. Next week you just might be seeing a July Favorites and the start of my Back To School posts so you might want to stay tuned for that!

Love, Peace, & Flowers 
Peace from Kayá
(See what I did there, 60s involved peace)

P.S. There is also a CNN series called "The Sixties" that comes on on Thursdays at 9pm. Be sure to watch that!

(FTC: "The Sixties" wasn't  sponsored by CNN, I felt that you might want to watch the show!)

▲ Lana Del Rey ▲

Lana Del Rey is my favorite artist. Her music relates to what I like, and I mean a lot! Here is a list of songs and reasons I love her.

Ultraviolence (2014 Album)
Brooklyn Baby
Ultraviolence
Cruel World
Shades of Cool
West Coast

Born To Die (2012)
National Anthem
Diet Mountain Dew
Carmen
Summertime Sadness
Video Games
Blue Jeans

Paradise (2013)
Ride
Bel Air
Cola
Gods & Monsters
Body Electric

Other songs by Lana
Young & Beautiful

3 reasons I love Lana Del Rey
1.) Her music is soothing. It has violins, slow tempos, and when you just need to relax, her music is there.

2.) Her music is a type of 60's pop. I'm a very big fan of the 1960s and her music has that type of beat.

3.) I get good vibes with her music. I think a lot and deeply when I listen to Lana's music.

That is it for now! I hope you enjoyed reading and check next time for a blog post.

Love, Peace, & Flowers

☪ A New Chapter ☪

      Good evening, afternoon, or morning wherever you live. My name is Kayá and I'm a twelve year old girl who enjoys music, history, writing, reading, and family friend time. I will become a seventh grader on September 8th and I am prepared to do whatever it takes to do my absolute best the school year. I'm a whole-hearted girl who cares for her family, friends, and life.

       The title of this post means that I am moving on with my life with bigger better things. When I mean that, I mean that I have to take better care if myself: physically and mentally. I have to have a better mindset going into my new chapter. Yes, I still have the same humorous, smart, and beautiful personality, but I have to have those days were I need quiet and to focus on more things. (schoolwork, grades, life, person things) This doesn't mean I won't be posting only once or twice a month as I move on, it just means you might see more bigger and better things on Kaya's Korner. Yes, I'm still going to do "Monthly Favorites & Musical Listings." I love my blog and I wouldn't change every single thing.

       Basically what I'm trying to say is that as I grow older, things are going to have to change and I have to learn that. I love you all and I want everyone to enjoy my blog. Don't worry I'm still going to be posting so stay tuned!

Love, Peace, & Flowers

Just To Let You Know... ➳

Just to let you know on other things, my friend, Jada and I have made a collaboration blog here on Blogger called, "Rad Vibes." We talk about different things like boys, music, fashion, or advice just like I do here. I'm just doing it myself on Kaya's Korner. I will still have time to post on both sides of Blogger. Jada also has a self-owned blog on here herself. In one of my post, I gave her a shout out. Be sure to check hers out, too!

Love You All, Peace!

☪ Divergent: Part 2 ☪

Welcome back to the Divergent Series. Sorry it took so long to make part two! In part 2 I want to talk about being independent. The word independent can also be a synonym for the word divergent!

People who are independent, in my point of view, are awesome and will most likely turn out as happy people as they grow up. For instance, if you don't hink about what people say about you or do something no one has EVER done! Some of my friends are independent as well and I love them like a lot. Dependent people are always look ping for people to fall back on like all the time. Independent people do it too, just no all the time. Being independent feels like taking risks and having that positive feeling to reach your goal. Wether it's starting a blog (yes! I'm one!), creating a new dance, or helping around your neighborhood! You start and move on along the road.

Independence is an awesome feeling. I'm an independent person as well. If I feel to take a stand in what I believe in, I might as well say or do instead of sitting down and someone takes the idea. When I see or hear something that doesn't sound quite correct, my independent side comes out.

Independent means
Not depending on another person or authority 

"Be you because everyone else is taken."
-unknown (I honestly don't know who said this)

Stay tuned for a part 3!

Six Years and Still Growing Strong!

Hey everyone! It is the month of May and something happened to me this month almost six years ago. I've told this story many times and I love sharing it because it makes me feel like I've done something good or made someone feel good about themselves. So, let get started!

On May 28, 2008 at 3:30pm, I went to the hospital because my kindergarten teacher (love her) saw that something wasn't quite right with my body. My mother took me to the emergency room. Finally when it was my turn to go, the nurse had checked my blood glucose, which I knew nothing about, and it was 500 plus. That wasn't  good for any diabetic at all. I was then in the hospital from Wednesday to Sunday afternoon. I was connected to an IV. An IV is a machine used to give fluids in the body when no insulin has be producing. It monitors how many hours of fluid it's going to give me. After being in the hospital for almost half a week, I was sent home, but not just by myself. I went home with something called insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that enables glucose to enter most cells. My body wasn't producing enough insulin, so that's how I got diabetes. My ribs were able to be seen, I got skinner, and used the bathroom a lot!

Almost six years later, I'm bigger, better, and stronger. Sometimes I do feel that diabetes can effect my lifestyle and the way that I live, but I just remember that I'm in control of it and that:
NO WEAPON FORGED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER, AND I WILL REFUTE EVERY TONGUE THAT ASSESS ME. I love my life, friends, family, and I wouldn't want any other way.

That's all for now!

☯ love, peace, and happiness

Monthly Blood Glucose

Hello everyone! As I said in my list blog post, I wanted to focus on not just fashion, music, and art, but also my health. By now, most of you know I'm a diabetic and I have to take insulin and check my blood sugar. (Don't be alarmed by the word blood. Been doing this for almost 6 years) Today I went to the doctor and here's a little update!

My blood glucose:
It's high in the morning time, good at lunch, and mildly high when I come home from school. I'm doing good when it comes counting the carbs and putting in my numbers. Yet, on the other hand, I need to remember if I'm eating a snack in between my meals, to count the carbs and take more insulin. Also, I sometimes forget to cover for the food that I eat. I just take insulin for my blood sugar. Otherwise, I'm doing awesome!

A1C Level:
For the people who don't know what an A1C level is, it's a test to measure glucose buildup in the blood over the past 2-3 months. My A1C level is doing fine. It was better than it was before.

Blood Pressure:
I'm doing fine. Nothing is wrong with my blood pressure! :)

Height and Weight:
I'm still 5"2 and I'm 98.5 pounds.

Blood test(s):
Amazingly there was no blood test that needed to be done this time. When I go back to the doctor, I guarantee I will have to!

Overall:
My doctor said that I've improved with my blood sugar and managing to take the right amount of insulin. She believes that I can do better with managing my sugar in the morning and when I come home from school.

That was my monthly update on my blood glucose!

State Test & Stanford 10 (2014)

    Hello everyone! I haven't posted anything this week and last week. I've been studying for three tests that I must take every year until I've reached the ending of 8th grade. This week from April 1st to April 3rd, I took the 2014 New York State English Language Arts Examination. I will be taking the 2014 New York State Mathematics Examination in the last week of April. The other exam is the Stanford 10 Examination which test all your subject areas such as:
Math
Reading Comprehension 
Listening
Spelling
Language Arts
Social Science

      In the ELA Examination, there are three books. Day 1 is all multiple choice. You read passages and answer questions based on the story using the answer choice. Day 2, you answer some multiple choice and there are short response questions. Finally in day 3, you read again and answer short response and an extended response question based on the second to last story and the last story. You have 90 minutes for all three days. The same goes for math, except you do math problems.

I have a busy month. I'll be on spring break soon!
Love, peace, and GREATNESS

Divergent: Week 1 (Preview)

The Beginning
What It Means To Be DIFFERENT
        Everyone has something different about them. Whether it's music, sports, or classes. Your friends have it too! You may like hip hop and your friend likes pop music. That's a sort of different feature you two have. Divergent basically means different. In life, it means unique!
            I talk about my best friend, Indigo a lot on my blog. In my daily life, we do it as well. The two of us share different things. Our friendship to me is really unlike from regular friendships I see. Yes we may learn different things about each other, but I love our friendship. I'm glad I met her because she has lead me through lots of things in my life that I probably wouldn't of done of I never met her. I love her very much!
            A lot of people call me a "good weird", which to this day I still don't know what it means. I'm glad my friends accept me....... STAY TUNED FOR THE FULL EFFECT!

Love, Peace, & Greatness

Should Kids Work Out?

   On Monday, my friend Jada (also has a blog) was talking about how she was working out this weekend. All the girls at the lunch table laughed. We laughed because she was really skinny and well.  
Then she started to do that thing with your arms to show your muscles. All of a sudden, everyone started showing their muscles, including me and my bestie, Indigo. Then I thought to myself, should kids my age be working out?
        I know our parents say we should go outside and run around, but when I mean workout, I mean like have weights and run on a treadmill. I have weights, but it's only 3 pounds heavy. There are other ways to workout for kids my age like:

Sports
Dance
Jogging
Gym (at school or after school hours)
Gymnastics
Walking with your dog(s)

There are plenty of ways to workout with using these equipment that our parents use when they go to the gym.
