"When you tell one lie, it leads to another" - Paul Hatch

This statement is very true. I believe that lying is very addictive and that's just the way I chose to view it. You see, once you lie it's very easy for you to just do it again, especially if you got away with lying the first time.

It's important not to lie because if you get caught lying then no one is going to believe you anymore.

Lies lead to loss of trust and reliability. When you get caught lying, people begin to doubt what else you have lied about. They begin to think that you are no longer a reliable person because they are not sure if you are telling the truth or not.

If it was me who was caught lying, I don't think I would know what to do to regain that person's trust because it would be very difficult to do so.

Lying in general is just something very bad because you could hurt someone close to you simply by not telling the truth. I think it's better to just not lie at all to avoid any drama or confusions or loss of trust.

School Break Days

During my winter break I didn't really do much except for a couple of events I went to. On the first week I went to CHILL at the Queen Mary. It was very fun because many of my friends went and I got to hang out with them. The week after, on Monday, I went on a field trip to the Norton Simon Museum of Art. I personally am a huge fan of art although I might not know very much about it. After the museum we went to go eat at this really awesome Chinese place. Then we went to go walk around and see Old Town Monrovia. It was nice and they had a lot of really cool stores. Once we were done looking around we went to the Krikorean Premiere Theaters. I saw the movie Sisters which was pretty funny. On Christmas I helped my mom make tamales and champurado, it was my first time making them and they didn't come out bad at all, so i was proud of myself. New Years' was okay, I was really hoping I'd get the honor to march with the All City Band in the Rose Parade, but my parents didn't let me so instead I just watched my friends along with the rest of the band on TV. The following week, I went hiking to the Ascot Hills with a few of my friends. They later took me to the beach because I had never been to one in California before. I went to Santa Monica State Beach and although the water was very cold, I went in and let the waves chase me by the shore. A short while after, we went to the Pier and looked around for a bit, so that was pretty cool. This weekend I went to my old neighbor's house and spent the whole weekend there. I saw my old tree house and just being there alone brought back so many memories of all of the silly things her and I used to do. So much reminiscing made us realize how boring we had become, but despite our little moments of somber we found things to do and stay entertained while also enjoying each other's company since we hadn't seen each other in almost six months! I also was invited to a couple of kickbacks with some of my other friends, but my parents didn't let me go so that was the only downfall to my vacation. I also regret not being able to practice my music, however I did practice on my vocals and I assume they've gotten slightly better than before. Overall I'd say my vacation was pretty great, I mean I am still alive...
