Yesterday, it snowed at my house!

This photo is from when most of it melted, although at some point the snow reached 3 inches! This year, the snow was a lot more ice than last year. Instead of having a shaved ice type texture, the snow felt a lot more like mini hail. Hence, we were unable to really play with it. I decided to look on the bright side and try to see how big of an ice sheet I could hold without breaking. The ice wasn’t slippery enough to skate on 🙁 Nonetheless, I still had a great time!

In this new series, I will write about places to visit before you die from personal experience. As a frequent traveller, I will write all about my favorite countries I’ve been to. I proudly start this series off with one of my personal favorite countries. So without further ado…

Welcome to Singapore!

Land of the future, home to natural beauty. If you enjoy food, malls, and an overall futuristic vibe, you’ve come to the right blog. Singapore is widely known for its futuristic tourist attractions. One of my personal favorite places in Singapore to visit is the Singapore Gardens by the Bay. These gardens aren’t your ordinary gardens; these are completely man-made with LED lights that light up the night sky. It is best to visit when dark. At night, you can see this man-made wonder in its full beauty. The martini glass shaped objects in the image provided showcase this beauty at night. It also has one of the largest indoor waterfalls in the world! Walking through the gardens feels like you aren’t even on Earth anymore. The only thing better than seeing this on a screen is in person!

The other picture is the Marina Bay. The Marina Bay, known for its stunning views, world-class restaurants, luxury shopping, and hotels, also lights up the night sky. The ship on the rooftop is home to the world’s largest infinity pool! On the first floor of The Marina Bay, be sure to stop by Black Tap for their giant milkshakes!

Speaking of shopping and food, Singapore is known for its massive food courts and malls. Be ready to experience multi-cultural cuisines and an action-packed food court. The malls in Singapore are always filled with people! From personal experience, the food courts in Singapore are so popular that three different families had to share a two person table! Not only are these malls big, but they are also beautiful. Some malls have waterfalls stretching from the 7th floor down to the first floor. Due to Singapore’s strict law about littering, the mall’s floors are spotless! Singapore malls are truly a surreal experience you need to visit. Life in Singapore is so safe that you don’t have to feel worried about getting robbed at all! In addition to these wonderful malls, the Singapore airport is just as amazing. It has an indoor waterfall and forest. When you go there, it doesn’t even feel like an airport. It too has luxury shopping and magnificent views from within the airport! For these reasons, it is widely credited to be the best airport in the world! That concludes the end for pt. 1 in this series. Be sure to follow along to see posts about places as futuristic as Singapore, and as ancient as Rome.

Leadership Poem ✨😎🚢💗

Here is an acrostic poem I wrote about leadership. Leadership is a core quality I find to be one of the most important qualities. 

Leading the way, like a lantern at night, pushing through the darkness with a spirit ever bright.

Everyone is equal, no bossing around, dissolving conflicts, standing your ground.

A collaborative team, pushing forward as one, so much more we can be, doing work while having fun.

Doing what’s best for the group, not yourself, doing what benefits everyone else.

Equality and equity, values well known, values that a good leader will show.

Rocky roads will come across, causing conflicts between, you mustn’t act like the boss, you must work as a team.

Sharing ideas, both good and bad, be attentive if someone has something to add.

Helping each other, lifting them up, leading in color, through the darkest of muck.

Influencing and inspiring, sharing the vision, let’s work as a team without division.

Positives and negatives, leadership has it all. But once you get through it, everyone will applaud.

The St. Lucia Racer 🐍✨🤎

by 32trishaa


Here is a short description of the world’s most endangered snake. I present to you, the St. Lucia Racer or Erythrolamprus ornatus.

Did you know there are fewer than 20 to 100 St. Lucia Racers left? The St. Lucia Racer is considered the world’s rarest snake and is highly endangered. It is completely non-venomous. Consequently, harmless to humans. Their diet consists of eggs, lizards, and other small animals. Their significant population decrease is credited to the invasive Indian Mongoose. In 1936, they were declared extinct! In 1973, they were miraculously rediscovered. Maria Major, an island found off the coast of St. Lucia, is where their name originates. They are only found on this island because it does not have any threats to the species.

Black Belt Poem 🥋🇰🇷✨🖤

by 32trishaa

In January, I will be testing for my first degree black belt! As part of this honorary process, we are supposed to define kindness and compassion. Here is a short poem I wrote about those morals.

Kind and compassionate, what we try to be,

patience, kindness, integrity. 

Through patience we wait, calming our mind, 

maintaining composure, taking our time.

 Waiting our turn, no matter the place, 

Through patience we learn to resist the bargain.

 Now we move on to kindness, the golden rule!

 Do what is kind, not what is cool.

 Treat others the way you want to be treat,

 be nice to your classmates, no need to compete.

 Now let’s discuss integrity. 

Do what is right, despite no penalty.

 Only you can decide what is wrong and what’s right,

 even if there’s no clear option in sight.

 How could we forget responsibility! 

Do your work with civility. 

Take account for your actions, finish your work,

of course to satisfaction, and help out with chores. 

To conclude this prelude of the person I will be, 

whether it’s a black belt, or a white belt, I shall maintain morality.

Education Funding in NC 📚🍎📝☝️🤓

by 32trishaa

Did you know that North Carolina is ranked 48th out of 50 in per student funding?

In this post I will be raising awareness for the lack of funding in the North Carolina education system. NC is falling thousands of dollars behind the national average of per student funding. This decline in funding has led to lack of teachers, poor school supplies, and unkempt environments for students. From personal experience, my parents enrolled me in my school due to my district school being underfunded. 8/10 students go to a public school in NC. 8/10 students shouldn’t have their future waived because of funding. Using the website https://www.donorschoose.org/ you can donate for underfunded classrooms in your community. Many classrooms lack the basic supplies necessary for learning. In conclusion, the youth of NC should receive sufficient funding from our government.
