Le Bistro is a french resturant located on Foothill. It is by far one of my most favorite resturants. Although it can cost over one hundred dollars per person, it is completely worth it. Whether it be the succulent lamb chops, the amazing snails(yes I just said snails), or the delicous souflees, it is one of the best resturant I have been to. The staff are amazingly friendly and you don't even have to speak French, they are all bilingual.
Even though they had to switch venues multiple times, my family still continues to go there just like they did when they first opened(I of course was not yet born). If you do go there, be prepared, anything that has meat costs no less than $30 and the appetizers cost about $15 each. I would recommend the lamb chops or pork loin, both are huge servings. I strongly urge you to they the escargot, or the snail, which may seem disgusting, but is amazingly delicious.
This is by far my most favorite restaurant of all time.

Catalina Island
Don't know where your next trip might be headed? I suggest you should go to Catalina Island! It's great for an adventure with either hanging out with your girlfriends, chillin' with the boys, spending quality time with that special someone, or just riding solo. You can do so much there. That island might be small, but I have to hand it to the Wrigleys - it is an adventure that you're going to love. Catalina is the place to go.
For some people, its boring but, hey, what do you expect? Well see for yourself, there is too many activities to be sitting around in some hotel room all day. There is para sailing, bike rentals, bubble rolling, touring, miniature golf, food tasting, golf cart rentals, museums, a movie theatre, segway renting, scavenger hunts, trolley rides, wildlife viewing, zip lining, fishing, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, glass bottom boat touring, sailing, etc. Pick for yourself!?! It's so much to choose from, you probably can't even make up your mind. I know you want to. To know more about what you can do at Catalinea or even want to book a hotel room, check out this article.
Santa Catalina is just an island you can have so much fun. Its definitely a place where it can release all your stress and negativity in your life. Just pack up for a weekend or even a day, you won't regret it. It's so much fun I promise. Don't believe me, go for yourself, I bet you you'll have so much fun!!! I know I did with my mom! We only was there for a day, but it felt so long. It was so much fun. Can't wait to go sometime again!
I give Catalina Island five stars and two thumbs up!!!
If you want to know more information about Catalina Island check out this website. It will tell you about the background history - about the native americans, the birth of avalon, the banning years, and even about the Wrigleys. Have fun and enjoy your experience. And don't forget to take some pictures!
Riverside Is The Place To Be
Have you ever seen the beauty that lies within the streets of riverside? People and children all around laugh and play. There is never a dull moment in The Meadows Apartments. The Apartments are a decent size and are perfect for a family. Tile floor and counters in the bathroom and kitchen. You have the choice of a 1 bedroom to 3 bedroom apartment. The bedrooms are a reasonable size for one or two people each. Beautiful, soft, tan carpet covers the house. The balcony's and backyards are great for a family get together or even just for sitting down and relaxing. There is a 8 foot deep pool that is perfect for summer and even 3 foot deep spa for night swimming. There's chairs that fold out so you can lay by the pool and just relax. Chairs and tent covered tables surround the area which are perfect for enjoying a nice lunch in the shade. It is absolutely great.
These tan colored apartments are so full of life.You wouldn't believe how much beauty you could find in such a place. People may think its an awful place but people always say the beauty lies deep inside, and that's where I look. Its easy to find beauty in such a simple place like an apartment building.There's colorful flowers that catch your eye as soon as you pass by. There's the bright sun that reflects off the pools and the smells of perfectly cut grass. Yeah, the neighborhood is not so great there is a minimal amount of graffiti and sometimes people get a little loud. You can also find a couple jerks there. But where can you go that you wont see these types of things? Its everywhere. But as far as that goes, I could say this is one of the most extravagant places you could be at night. Lights cover the apartment building completely. Walking past the pool is just beautiful, moon light reflects off of the water and leaves a calming blue color on the outside walls of the building.
Across the street is where the magic happens. Wouldn't you like to live right across the street from an amusement park? Well if you move into The Meadows you'll get all the excitement you can living right across the street from Castle Park. Imagine that? Castle park is not all that expensive either. Bring a wallet with about $100 and your set for 4 people all day and still enough left over for a meal during your time. Riverside is full of exciting and unpredictable things. I one hundred percent recommend The Meadows Apartments to anyone and everyone.

The White House... (The Restaurant)
The White House in Anaheim California, is by far one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Not only does the food taste delicious but it looks incredible. I went to the White House once last year. My experience was incredible. I went on a Sunday for the Sunday brunch. I had incredible food and great service!
My meal started with a appetizer. I chose the calamari (one of my favorite foods), the calamari was so good!! Then I got my entree, I chose chicken and potatoes. My entree was delicately paired with a gorgeous bread sculpture. Mine happened to be shaped like a swan! In fact every entree is accompanied with a bread sculpture unless stated other wise. I also got dessert!! My personal favorite. I got chocolate covered strawberries!! With Belgian chocolate! My meal was like heaven!
There was also incredible service. Our waiter was not only kind but he was funny. He left us with something to talk about. We had great short conversations with the staff. I hope one day to go back to the White House! If you try it... TRY IT!

The Big Tree
It's a short walk from home. It's tall and easy to climb. The street is busy during the day but at night, it's perfect. The neon lights from the Taco Bell across the street glisten on the leaves.
The sign is so spray painted you can't read what it says anymore. It's still and quiet. I've always wanted to sneak out at night and climb in with someone special. You can see the sun rise over the mountains in the early morning.
I would sit up there with my dad and we would watch the sunset during the summer. We would just talk about life.
I have a lot of great memories on the big tree. When I was little my mom would take me and my brother there. Now, I show all my friends the big tree.
It's old and it's a good tree. It had old moldy bark and dead crunchy leaves on the bottom. We aren't even supposed to be in it but, who's going to stop us?

Goals
Saying you want something is different then actually working for what you want. I two huge goals. One goal is to go to Harvard, I know its a high goal but working for the goal even if you don't accomplish it can still get you somewhere. My second goal is to one day own a dance studio.
You may be thinking Harvard? Why do you want to go to Harvard, its not like you want to study law or anything like that do you? But just about a year ago I found out that Harvard has an incredible dance program. I hope that even if I don't make it into Harvard I will hopefully make it into another college with a great dance program.
I also hope to one day own my own dance studio. I hope that opening my own dance studio will allow me to make people as happy dancing as I am. To reach my goal I will work as hard as I can in dance class. I will most likely need to go to college and study dance and also study buisness. Dancing can change everyone no matter if you are dancing or watching its gorgeous.
I made a goal last year to go on pointe one day. I accomplished this goal yesterday. The feeling of accomplishing a goal can not be described by words. All the hard work paid off, and I was so incredibly happy with myself that nothing could ruin my day. Goals are to work for, don't think they come easily.

Goals for 2013
My goals for 2013 this year is definitely going to get accomplished. Haven't you ever made yourself resolutions or promises that is "planned" to be accomplished at the end of the year, but you never done them. Well, I say for 2013, you and me will have goals and accomplish them this year. Just stay determined and sure about yourself so you won't ever get discouraged and say you can't do it.
One of my goals for 2013 is to get at least a B or higher in geometry. I'm going to complete that goal by first listen to the teacher's lessons and pay attention more. Second I'm going to make sure I understand everything that is being taught. If I don't understand it I will put it on my mind to stay after school and make sure before I go home, I get some help that I need. Lastly, I'm going to study at least every other day and try my best to know the thereoms, formulas, the work that is needed, perimeter, area, etc. Just for references later down the road when he quizzes us. Mostly I just want to get a B or higher in my geometry class and I think these steps help me.
My second goal for 2013 is to get at least a B for my mile run. Which is between the time 8:01-9:00. Normally I get a C because I keep finishing up at the same time between 9:23-9:30. It kind of gets on my nerves because I'm so close getting that B grade, but I always end up getting tired on my 3rd lap around the field. But for this goal, I'm going to complete this by 4 easy steps. One, I'm going to leave my friends behind and not talk to them because it waste all my breath too fast. Second I'm going to paste myself to run the whole thing without stopping and regurlarly breathing. Third, I'm going to keep my head down while running so it doesn't seem like I have so much left to run my 4 laps. Lastly, I'm going to encourage myself and push myself to finish those 4 laps for a B grade and stay hydrated so I won't have that feeling of passing out (again). I think I can get a B grade on my mile run if I stick to it and follow all these steps.
My last goal is to help the people around me who are less fortunate than me. I love love love to help people. This goal is one of the best goals I made for this year and I will be sure to accomplish it. My mom and I always use to help the Ronald McDonald House like repainting it, or cleaning down the walls, mopping the floors, or just something to make it look nice and tidy it up. Sometimes my mom and I volunteer and make foods bags and pass them out in parks to the homeless. I love to see their happy smiles and how thankful they are. And lastly this year my mom and I are going to start our own helpful volunteer work. This year my mom and I plan to make these packets for the homeless and donate toys to the children hospital for Christmas or near that time of the month. We're going to complete this goal by first buying toys now and continue to get toys during the year. Also, this is the time we're going to get all the supplies we need to get for the ToGo packets for the homeless. Second we're going to take the toys that we get and wrap all them up or put them in bags and signed them from your secret santa. And for the ToGo packets we're going to put them in the bag and stuff all the supplies that go with it. Lastly, we're going to take all the toys we collected, bought, and got donated to us, we're going to take them to the children's hospital and pass them out. And for the ToGo packets we're going to pack them all in our car and drive to different places or parks and hand them out to the ones in need. This year I think I can complete this goal with my mom if we stick to it and I keep reminding her because parents do forget.
By reminding myself daily about my goals I'm sure I can achieve all of them by completing the following steps.
