Ohh gee.

Why do I have so many blogs?

I guess I am just changing so much that the blogs have to keep up with my ever-changing life.

I guess I'll have to say goodbye to Kyy Philosophy like I had done with Dowdy Gabber.

Bye Dowdy Gabber.
Bye Kyy Philosophy.

I no longer talk gibberish and I no longer philosophize on things.

Dowdy Gabber and Kyy Philosophy- two blogs that I hid myself behind. I never expressed my true self, so that is why it was so difficult to write for those two blogs.

It's time to start anew already. It's time for Write, Run, Action!

Dowdy Gabber was the immature 16 year old who just started high school.
Kyy Philosophy was the 17 year old who was confused and felt all alone.
Write, Run, and Action! is the mature, confident, successful adult known as Kathy.

Kyy's Philosophy?

Write,
Run,
Action!
YOU DOODLERS!

Homecoming dress.

I just bought my homecoming dress.
Well, I am not exactly sure yet if it'll be my homecoming dress because homecoming is not until another month and I'm still not sure if I'll be asked.
I bought it at Burlington Coat Factory and I am such a lucky gal. The dresses were brand new because the staff had just barely put it on the racks.
I was drawn to it. It is quite a beautiful dress and it completely represents me. It is a strapless dress, but I was able to get a small and so it's quite tight.

Take advantage of the "outlet" stores near you.
There is Ross, TjMaxx, Burlington Coat Factory, Marshall's, etc. etc. You can find a dress there for very, very cheap. And most of the time, you don't have to worry if other students are going to wear the same dress because they are kind of "vintage" when they hit those stores.

Plus, don't spend so much on shoes and accessories when you can take advantage of those stores above and also the array of thrift stores available. Shoes for $4 and clutches for $2 - they are all amazing and unique finds. Just keep on searching and you'll find the buried treasure! You've got a fashion detector ingrained in your system, so take advantage of it!

Want to change your life?

I was suffering from the common teenage depression when I was 13 years old. It was definitely intensified when I moved to a new city and began Junior High School. New friends, new environment, and I had little to no confidence.

But in 8th grade, things started to really change. I changed my habits and I developed a greater sense of control and purpose.

I'd like to thank my 8th grade English teacher Ms. Parsons for teaching the class about the Secret. You were right; you said you were one of the firsts to find it out and that in the future it would be a big thing. Thanks for giving the class and I a head start in life with lessons on the Law of Attraction.

Thank you Steve Pavlina for sharing your lovely life lessons. I stumbled upon your blog and I read some of your posts and it truly got me out of my depression. I took a lot out of your 30-day challenge. It has definitely changed me and made me a better person. So, thank you for the inspiration and the wisdom.

Read The Secret or the upcoming book Power by Rhonda Byrne.
Plus, check out Steve Pavlina's blog. Steve Pavlina There are truly inspirational and life-changing stuff packed up in one blog.

Blogs

It all began with Dowdy Gabber. Then, there was Kyy Philosophy. And poof, comes the new blog known as Write, Run, Action!

No more masks.
No more secrets.
No reservations.

I am tired of holding back my personal feelings and experiences.
I am tired of pretending to be someone I am not.
I am tired of trying to please everybody except me.
I am tired of waiting for the perfect man to come into my life.
I am tired of waiting for that big break.
I am tired of waiting for my life to start.
I am tired of feeling like the outcast, follower, and loner.
I am tired of being confused and lost.
I am tired of feeling self-conscious and constantly degrading myself.
I am tired about the fact that I hardly smile.
I am tired of hiding behind so much makeup.
I am tired of not being able to make a difference in the world or making a big impact in the lives of people I come by.
I am tired of it all.

I've been always waiting, wishing, and hoping that all of a sudden things would turn 180 degrees for me.
That my braces will come off and I can gain that confidence again.
That my face will immediately clear up and I no longer have to hide behind so much makeup.
That I will get that cool car that everyone wants.
That I will establish an amazing talent that everyone knows me for.
That I will instantly be rich and famous.
That I will all of a sudden gain amazingly cool friends that will not only always be there for me and always have fun, but will open doors for me.

I thought being patient is the only way to win the game of life.
But heck, waiting doesn't get you anywhere. Sometimes, you've got to do something about it.

Now,
I share my personal feelings and experiences.
I just simply be myself.
I focus on my needs and wants first and then, I care about the needs and wants of others.
I go out and find the perfect man to not only sweep me off my feet, but to also be my lover and best friend.
I say yes and go for those opportunities that will give me my big break.
My life has just started.
I am a leader, a friend, and a role model.
I know my place in the world and I know what I want to do and what I want to be.
I am confident.
I always smile.
I accept my unique looks and will show it all off without any hesitation or remorse.
I make a huge difference in the world and I make a big impact in the lives of people I come by.
I look forward to it all. To a new adventure and journey.

Waiting doesn't always get you where you want to be. You can't just stand there and expect to magically end up in Hollywood. You've got to take that first step. It might be a little step, but it's a step towards your goal nevertheless and that is all that matters. As long as you're doing something to get to your destination, your dream, or your goal, you'll end up where you belong.

It's a new blog for the new mature, careerist, sophisticated, confident, intelligent, and nice... me.

New Blog- new me.

Great online websites/stores for dress shopping

Whether it be Homecoming, Prom, Sadie's, or the Winter Dance, these are some of the cheap places to purchase dresses online (or sometimes in store) for very cheap. Mostly under $100, I believe these places sell the best dresses.

French Connection
Arden B.
Kohl's
Forever 21
Dillard's
Sears
Newport News
Lulu*s
Nasty Gal
ModCloth
Windsor
Topshop
Asos


Don't forget to also check out Ross, Marshall's, TJmaxx, Burlington Coat Factory, etc. etc.!

School.



Summer school is over.
Wrap it all up and prepare.
When I walk down the halls
There'll be memories to share.

Dancing in the commons
In the caf, there will be singing.
Study, texts, and lots of laughs
Before the bell starts ringing.

Ring, ring, ring, school begins
All go separate paths
To the place where we will learn
History, English, and math.

We all sit at our desks
The teacher simply says hi.
We ask what will we learn?
Lessons about love and life.

We go about our days
Wondering of love and life.
All that we have to do
is look at everyday strife.

Learn from all the mistakes
Then you can learn, grow, and know.
Nothing can bring you down;
Success you'll want to show.

Cause life has no limits
No bias of any kind
Just learn of love and life
and eventually you'll shine.

Things to do before I go back to school.

2 more weeks.
Oh how the summer flew by.
I can finally get an amazing 2-week break from an exhausting, yet very memorable summer school experience.
2-weeks to prepare for what will be my last year in high school.
I am now a senior. Oh, how putting senior and I in the same sentence makes me feel entirely old.
People go on saying I look older than my age and that I act much older than I really am, now maybe oldness is really actually catching on to me...
Nonsense. Nonsense. It doesn't matter how people view me. I know perfectly well that I am still a teenager (17 years old to be precise) and I've still got a lot to learn and a heck of a lot more growing up to do.

Let's face it. I really am kind of stepping into the whole stereotypical adult world.
I am reading books on finances!
I am working on improving my social skills!
I am working on my career!
I am thinking about the type of men I want to marry!
Ohh dear.
I really am growing up...
But it's a little to early to be saying goodbye to my fun childhood and my fun teenage years. My senior year will definitely need all the fun that it can get. Fun. Fun. Write it again, missy. Fun.

Indeed.
I've been reading on saving, investing, and money and more money. I love Rich Dad's philosophy; I am not a fan of Poor Dad's mindset. I've got like $200 in cash. I feel so rich.

This summer has led me to realize that I am socially awkward. I don't know how to make eye contact, I'm not much of a public speaker, and I can barely hold up my end of a conversation. I am clearly working on it right now. I am rewiring my brain. The part of my brain that controls writing has been a little overworked these past years and I've been completely ignoring the part of my brain in charge of speech. And now that part of my brain is stagnant and needs to seriously work out and get back in shape.
I am working on pronunciation.
I am working on answering questions more clearly and quickly.
I am working on my public speaking skills (summer school has helped with this. 4 presentations among 2 classes).
I am working on being more open and direct through body language.
I am definitely working on my confidence.

Film Studies is currently my pick for my college major. This is the first time I've been so sure that film is something where I want to be. So, this is definitely something. I am still not sure what minor I'll have or whether or not I'll have a double major. I am just working my best to try and see if film production is for me by editing films, reading on screenwriting, and trying to make film a bigger part of my life.

I went to a cellphone store on Thursday and I saw the type of boy (or shall I say man) that I want to marry. And seriously, marriage is normally never on a teenager's mind - especially mine. So, this came to me as a shocker. Am I already thinking about marriage?? I still haven't been kissed and I am already thinking about the man I want to spend the rest of my life with? I know that it's completely ludicrous.

That just proves and concludes that.... I am indeed growing up.

It's that time of your life where you want to say... where the heck did my childhood go? I somehow have misplaced it or lost it. Can you help me find it?

100/100 for my first video

I got 100% credit for the video I did for my project.
The video I made was pretty much entirely all me. The only stuff that did not come out of my head were the facts on vitamins.

Put that off to the side and I made a video out of scratch. I'm entirely new to the whole video editing thing. I used Windows Movie Maker and it did take me awhile to get a hang of it, but I eventually conquered it all. It was a lovely one-woman show; video just starring all me. I am quite the actress, but I am not going into the film business to be an actress. Instead, I am learning the art of film to be a screenwriter and a producer.

Step by step and closer and closer I get to my dream. Every video and every hour I put into the craft is allowing me to refine my talent. It's amazing to finally know what I am passionate about. However, I'm going to have to see what happens as time passes by and my life continues to change. If I am still passionate about film and about writing and producing by the time I graduate from high school, then I know that film production is for me. Then, I'll know that I can make a living out of it and that I can consistently entertain people for the rest of my life.
