Ramen!

Ramen came Japan but it made with Chinese noodles and raman comes with a broth and have lots of topping on it. There is also instant ramen which you can buy from stores. Instant ramen is what most people eat because it is cheap and easy to make and it also taste good! There our some Japanese restaurant that make homemade ramen but sadly there is none around here because there is to low demand. 

'Homemade' ramen looks like this: 

(one version on it!) 

Instant ramen looks like: 

(one version of it.) 

I love to make instant ramen because it is fast and easy! You could also add your own topping such as egg, vegetables, meat and much more.I wish I could make some real ramen but I would need a pasta maker! 

What do you guys think about Ramen?? 

Recipe:

Last December

December 16, 2012

I don't know what to post today so I thought I talk about my first trip to the hospital in an ambulance because it is something interesting to read about. (I think!)  It all started at about 3:00 am because I woke put sweating and I just thought I had too much covers on me. Therefore I just went back to sleep and woke up at around 9:00 (I think.) I felt tired and I did not ate anything all day unless you count iced coffee. That day my mother, father, sister, and I went Christmas shopping. We went to target first and I felt fine because of the caffeine from the coffee I just drank but then we went to Book-a-Million to get some books that my Aunt wanted and I was looking at books this suddenly I felt weak and I just set down on the floor then my I walked over to wear my family were then sit down again because it was hard to breath and see. Then my mom and sister went to pay for the book and my dad tried to get me to walk to the car but that did not work because I just passed out and knocked over a book stand. (At least that what my dad told me!) I woke up outside of Books-a-Million and a cop was over me talking to my dad. Then the next thing I know there was like seven firemen around me. I was not sure that was going on but I was so cold that I was shaking and I was turning blue. By that time my mom and sister came out and saw what was going on. Then shortly after I was in the ambulance getting an IV in my hand. After I went to the hospital no one understood why I was so cold, turning blue, and was I passed out. Then later on they let me get up to go to the bathroom then I passed out again in the bathroom. I hit my head against the wall and a pole thing that was in the bathroom. (PAINFUL!) After that, my doctor came in and started taking test after test...after test and everything came back negative. Then they took a chest X-ray and saw that I had pneumonia! It was no fun because I could not walk because I was not getting enough oxygen to my brain while standing up. After 2 weeks I was 100% better. This is my random post for today.

What animal would you be?

If you were a animal what animal would you be and why?! 

______________________________________________________

If I was an animal I would be a Bunny because I am hyper like a bunny (but not in this class because I don't really know anyone.), I also eat slowly and nibble my food like a bunny and love bunnies and Bunny is my nickname too! lol (: 

Please let me know what animal you would be! 

Vegan?!

Could You Be Vegan?!

A vegan is person who does not eat or use animal products. You could not eat no junk food or meats or processed foods! You would have to mostly make everything you eat at home an not buy from a store unless it is organic! Many vegans go to farmers markets to get fresh food and organic products.  There are many websites that give great recipes for vegan food, Maybe you could try some vegan meals or cut out a lot of pointless junk food. I am not a vegan but I try not to eat junk food or anything harmful to me but I do have days where I eat a sweet like a piece of cake from a bakery & etc. 

My daily meal plans:

Breakfast: two pieces of toasts with a fruit.

Lunch: Granola bar or protein bar with a fruit or sometimes a sandwich with baked go-fish or rice chips.   

Snack: Fruits or proteins bars or popcorn with no butter. 

Dinner: Anything that is healthy. (varies!) 

I also drink lots of water and one can of diet soda a day. 

(Trying to stop drinking soda all together!)

What is your daily food plan?

Could you be Vegan?

Are your food choices Healthy or Unhealthy? 

Strawberries!

Amazing Strawberries!

This post is going to be about my favorite fruit because it is a nice summer snack and it can be used in so many ways. Strawberries are mainly red, they are also sweet and juicy. You can eat them by themselves or with ice cream or with many other kinds of food. They can make great breads, muffins, or ice cream. But did you know you can use strawberries to make your very on homemade (diy) face mask? It is a great way to use strawberries and it is all natural and good for your skin. There are many ways to make a strawberry mask but my favorite is the strawberry yogurt mask  by a YouTube beauty gurus, Bubzbeauty, and it is a great mask that works great! 

You'll need: 

1.) Quaker Oats rolled oats

2.) Honey

3.) Plain yogurt

4.) Strawberries 

How to make the mask:

1.) First you mush 4-5 strawberries on a plate. 

2.) Add about 2 to 4 teaspoons on oats and mix them well.

3.) Add two big spoonful of the yogurt and mix everything very well.

4.) Lastly add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey and mix.

You should use this mask about two times a week to get the most out of the mask. The mask will conditions skin, help heal acne,  its also a natural exfoliator, and it is packed full of Vitamins.

Tired of High School! 

By: April Horne.

I am sick of high school and all of the groups such as the IB kids, the AP group, the jocks and even the "weird" kids have a group they fit into. I don't fit in any of these group!! Therefore, my high school experience was sucky because it was hard to make friends because everyone already had their groups of friends and it was even harder to get a group to accept you. I had people say "hi , how are you?" to me or let me sit with them at the lunch table but it was just because we known each other for years and not because we were friends. I did had some great classmates and that made high school life better! (: On Saturday I went on a tour of the college I am going to this fall and it was GREAT!!! No one care about how you look or who you are in college they just accepted you as you! It was like a breath of fresh air to have people from all of the world going to school together and trying to understand one another without the fighting and isolated groups. I am not saying college is going to be easy but if I can make it though all the drama and pithiness of high school I think I can almost handle anything.

Journalism Profile:

~Victoria~

In the mind of Victoria.

Story By: April Horne

        Victoria is an upcoming junior at Rocky Mount high school and she has a bright future ahead of her and with her family support and her friends are sure she can achieve anything. She has a family of five that have a great sense of humor and very close to God which is important for a good and peaceful life. She can draw very well and maybe one day we'll see her drawings in a museum or in a children book and with her skills it is possible. She is planning on making good grades in high school to get into a good college. She also can't wait to get a job and raise a family of her own in the future. 

        She can reach her goals because she has achieved a huge goal of losing 40 pounds which is no easy task and she did it the healthy way, no crash diets. Many girls today try to lose weight the wrong way but Victoria have a good head on her shoulder and she knew the best way to make her feel better about herself was to lose the weight the right way. Sadly she had to go through a dramatic experience of losing her first pet. Victoria loves animal’s hints that her family have seven pets themselves but she was brave and knew her pet was in a better place.

        She doesn’t know what her future will bring but she did say "I'm hoping I will be happy and successful." - And her family and friends are also hoping for a good future for Victoria. After talking with Victoria one of her new classmates gives her opinion of Victoria. Her classmate said she "I just met her this year in journalism class but she is a very sweet person." She also tells me that she and Victoria had an in common such as eating healthy and drawing. She also states "Victoria seems like a great person to get to know more about."

April's Daisies!

I am very much like a daisy because daisies symbolize  purity, innocence, loyal love, beauty, patience and simplicity. Daisies are also very cheerful flowers; they can cheer anyone up when you are feeling sick or sad. 

 My name is April and I love helping people and making people happy but I am very shy most of the time but I can be loud when I have something to say. Some random facts to know about me are I can get mad easily but I cry even easier. Therefore, you can make the conclusion that I am a cry baby. I also fall and trip a lot... about two to four time a day but I am use to it. I am a care-free  girl with hopes and dreams and with a little luck I will fulfilled my hope and dreams!

First Post!

coming soon.
