Pocket Frog Fanatic and other awesome APPS!

In the day, most people are hooked up to the latest technology. Most of North America is hooked up to and iPod, iPhone, or nowadays and iPad. Apple is definetly taking over the nation! 

Anyways I wanted to recommend some of my favorite apps for the iPhone and, iPod touch.

 
 Pocket Frog is easily my favourite game for the iPhone and iPod touch EVER! This free game lets you breed, sell, race, and trade in frogs for money, potions, and stamps (not real of course.) Everything you do lets you gain points and boosts you up levels unlocking different types of frogs and more backrounds. This game is definetly up on my five star shelf and to make it better it's FREE!





  This game is up on my favourite shelves too. Angry Birds is one of the most bought games in North America. These tiny birds are sling shot by you to attack green pigs (Crazy!) who have stolen there eggs! With 5 different levels and more on the way this definetly a great way to use up 99 cents! 






 

 You can also buy Angry Birds Seasons which has a new level out for every holiday!







Fruit Ninja is another great app. Who knew slicing fruit could ever be this fun?! With tips from the sensei you can unlock blades and backrounds by playing, arcade, classic, and zen mode. My personal favourite is arcade mode but that's just me!  Slice more fruit to earn points but don't hit a bomb or game OVER! I'm pretty sure that this app is free so if you do decide to get it. There's no money needed!






I hope you liked hearing about some cool awesome apps and if you want more I'll be happy to do another entry on it!

            Have playing some new games!

As we wait...

So as we're all waiting for Cassandra Clare's City of Fallen Angels (Only 12 days!!) I decided to post a bit of my Mortal Instruments Fan Fic. Here it is!


From afar the couple that walked down the vacant street toward the burned, abandoned building seemed completely ordinary, but then again from afar most people did. Hence forth Clary Morgenstern and Jace Herondale were every bit from ordinary. Brushing a fiery red curl behind her ear Clary clung to Jace.
"They're going to be mad, They're going to be mad." She whispered to him.
"No they won't, they'll just be angry." Jace's lips brushed against her forehead comforting her immediately.
"But Jace we left them! Fled!" Clary cried, Jace's second kiss not comforting her now in the least as she remembered the day all too well.


"Jace Mom wants to see you and Clary in her room." Isabelle Lightwood knocked on his door.
"Why?" Jace demanded opening the door furiously at Isabelle.
"I don't know." Isabelle trembled, very unlike her. "She was very VERY mad though."
"Ah well Maryse does have those tendencies." Jace said trying to lighten the dark mood lingering around the room. Isabelle glared at him.
"JACE!"
Getting up from his bed Clary turned to him and spoke,
"We better go, if Maryse is in a bed mood then it'll only get worse if we make her wait."
"mmm..." Jace said and draping his arm around her they walked down the hall near Maryse Lightwood's study.


"You wanted to see us Maryse?" Jace asked as he and Clary entered the study.
Maryse looked up from a paper and she looked up at the two of them.
"Yes."
Her head gave a sort of curt jerk.
"Jocelyn, your mother Clary, called and said that Clary had been over last Saturday while Robert, Alec, and I were at the Clave meeting."
Maryse's narrow eyes turned towards Clary.
"Jocelyn said that you had told her that it would only be you and Isabelle." Maryse glared at Clary. Clary gulped and Jace squeezed her hand.
"I think it was obvious what you two were doing that night and we, Jocelyn and I, think that it might be best if Clary stopped coming to the institute for training, stopped coming..." Maryse paused. "Stopped coming all together."
Clary gasped.
"I couldn't, I... I..." Clary stared at Maryse in shock.
"Maryse?" Jace asked.
"What Jace?" Maryse snapped. Jace for once in his life seemed in shock.
"Fine." Jace said. "Clary won't be coming back to the institute."
Clary stared at her boyfriend not believing what she was hearing.
"And neither, will I." Jace finished. "Come on Clary we're leaving."
"Jace!" Maryse stared at her adopted son.
"You can't keep me away from someone I love." Jace glared at Maryse. And then he and Clary fled out of the institute towards New York.


"My mom is going to freak Jace!" Clary outburst coming back to reality.
"Why?" Jace asked jokingly.
"For gods sake! I'm pregnant Jace!" Clary said. "I'm pregnant at 17!"
"We don't have to go." Jace reasoned with her. "We don't have to tell Jocelyn and Maryse, and the rest of them.
"I know but Jace in a way I have too." Clary sighed. "I mean they're going to find out eventually right?"
Jace wearily nodded his head. As they neared the institute, butterflies rised in Clary's stomach and she felt sick.
"Come on then lets get this over with." Clary dragged Jace along up the door.
"I..." Jace had barely even started to speak the oath of a shadowhunter when the door was flung open by Magnus Bane?
"Magnus?" Clary blurted out. "What are you doing here?"
"Alec has chosen this moment to come out to his parents." Magnus said. "I'm afraid that if you and Jace have something to say Maryse might have a heart attack but, it's good to get everything out now!"Magnus smiled cheerily and allowed the two of them into the institute.


"Clary!" Jocelyn Morgenstern stared at her daughter her face turning from awe to anger.
"Hey mom?" Clary said weakly raising a hand. Alec Lightwood who looked as if he had been about to say something important looked slightly less confident at the appearance of Jace and clenched his fist.
"Er you go first Alec!"Clary gave him a smile and he shot her an angry look.
"No no you have something important to say, I take it that's why you came?" Alec nudged her.
"Erm yes well how do I put this?" Clary fidgeted in the dead silent room. Suddenly a rapping sound came from the door and Magnus got up from his perch beside Alec yet again to let Isabelle and Simon through.
"We came at the wrong time didn't we!" Isabelle squeaked as she saw everyone sitting in the room.
"You could say that." Luke smiled kindly at Isabelle. Isabelle swerved around to look at him and the girl beside him, Maia.
"What were you doing with her?" Maia got up from beside Luke and went towards Simon.
"I..." Simon stuttered.
"What do you mean what was he doing with me? I'm his girlfriend!" Isabelle shrieked.
Alec looked completely degenerated now.
"Um you guys can you fight later? Me and Jace should only take a moment." Clary finally said.
"Clary what are you talking about?" Jocelyn demanded.
"Clary!" Simon rushed past both the girls that were practically pinning him against the wall.
"You guys Clary, we, have something to say." Jace interrupted Simon running toward Clary.
"Yes um..." Clary paused.
"What is it Clary? Spit it out!" Jocelyn demanded angrily.
"I'm... I'm pregnant." Clary said it almost at a whisper. Everyone stared but the gasp that was let out was from someone totally unexpected.


So what did you think post below! Comment Below!

I'm a book reviewer too!

So it's finally come to my attention that on blogs people like to review books. Who knew?!

And it's also come to my attention that I would like to review books as well. The third thing that came to my attention was that this blog was already packed with other stuff so I've decided to create another blog for my book reviews.

To come check it out go to http://theyabookreviewer.blogspot.com/ and maybe follow me?! 

In other words I added more to Jenna's world because that was what you voted for me to work on and I might post a sneak peek soon!

I have a synchronized swimming competition in 2 weeks and as it's spring break there's only one week of practice time and we're not even done the routine! Talk about cutting it down to the wire! Actually I have practice right now so I've gotta dash!

Ciao,

Spring Break

This going to be short because I don't have a lot of time, yes sadly I still have homework even though we're technically in-between terms and should be celebrating the fact that there's only 1 day until spring break.


I'm practically drooling while I think about sleeping in, vacation in Seattle, and the best part NO HOMEWORK!
                Plus a lot of my time will be spent reading new books and writing!!

This spring break I'll be reading lots and I'll try to update on what's hot and what's not

                                                                                    Anyways I've got to go homework!

I feel like writing but then again I don't...

Here's the thing, for those of you who don't know me very well, I love to write, for those of you who do know me, I love to write.

         And the thing is I don't know what to write!!! So I need your help!

There's Synchronized, The Sleepover, Seventh Graders, or Jenna's World (Which I might change to Soleil's World - you can see I like the letter S.)

OK I know what you're thinking. I don't even know what they're about (Well you know Synchronized because I posted an excerpt like 2 posts ago...) so how about you read a few excerpts then respond in the poll on the side bar Which novel should I continue?

On to excerpt 1 : Seventh Graders

“Hey Emily!”
“Who's the new kid?”
“Ew that's gross!”
“LENA!”
“Look at Aly...”
“Look at Emily...”
“But Misa said...”
“Haley!”
“Look it's HALEY!”
Voices were exploding from all directions of Mr. Grant's classroom, and Haley's appearance beside me did not seem to calm the first day of school jitters. If anything it sent most kids off even more. You see Haley, though being my best friend is the most popular girl in the seventh grade. Never mind all the boys are falling for her. Haley doesn't believe she's popular she thinks she's just as popular as me, which is zilch.
“Hey Haley.” I breathless voice comes up behind us. Emily Spencer doesn't acknowledge me. Typical. Most of them don't. Misa, Lena, Lily, Soleil, and Emily make up in my mind the Haley Fan-club. Haley hates that that term but it's true they follow her around like she's there leader which she isn't. As far as I know Haley hates all of them just as much as I do which is a whole lot. I'm probably her only actual best friend.
“Oh hi Emily!” Haley looks up from her phone with a bright smile. One that always adorns her face.
“Hi Haley!”
“Haley hi!”
“Hey Haley!”
Great we were surrounded, or more Haley was. Soleil gave me an extra push while she waded towards her master. Fabulous just what Haley and I needed to start off the new school year a mob of her fan-club trailing around after her.
“Oh my god it's sooo great to see you guys!” Hayley says winking at me and I try to smile back encouragingly watching her play them one by one.

Yes I know it's short but let me remind you, it's and excerpt.

Excerpt 2:  The Sleepover (yes another short one. Well actually they're all short...)


Honestly we didn't mean anything bad to happen to her, we really didn't. And come on it's not our fault really that she's so slow, and yeah I'll admit it a little teensy bit fat, but I would never say that to her face or anything though, cause that would be mean right. Anyways it started when we were walking to the blockbuster, 3 blocks away from Renee's place. We were getting a movie to watch later at her house. I knew it would take forever to find a movie to see because Elena and Harmony have seen practically every movie there is, Kassidy who (I know weird spelling) will only see romance, and July hates, animated, fantasy, and sci fi.
Yeah it was gonna be almost impossible. And to make matter's worse then she disappeared.

Who is she? Let me explain. Penelope has short curly brown hair that only goes up to her ears, she's a bit overweight, loves converse, hates me and the rest of us, oh yeah and she's my cousin. And trust me I knew the moment my mom found out about this it would lead to be my fault, which even you've got to admit isn't really fair. Right? Right?

Excerpt 3: Jenna's World (This is part of the prolouge for your information)

The baby that lay in Dr. Grain's pale white hands was precious, he had known it the moment the little girl had touched his skin.
“Why does she not scream like most?” The anxious mother asked looking at the doctor and her daughter, her green eyes shining.
“She is dreaming...” The doctor murmured back, in craken – a language that was spoken on planet Arfbladder, the only planet that could hold crakani (beings of the universe.)
“Of course she is!” The new mom frowned.
“A different kind of dreaming...” Dr. Grain replied his face a mix of delight and worry.
“But what - ” The mother asked confused but halted when the firm doctor put up his hand.
“She is a very precious, very rare girl.” He began. “She at this moment is in such an intense dream that she has created her own world.”
“How?” The mother breathed shocked at such news.
“You must be related directly to the first crakani and...”
“But surely many have been born with this skill, there are many born related directly to the crakani?” The mother interrupted.
“Most babies have died getting to this stage, your daughter must be a strong girl to make it to where she is now.”
“This is not my daughter, this is a baby lying in your arms to never wake up!” The mother cried angrily, her pale white face turning a deep shade of red.
“I want my daughter!”
Still very calm Dr. Grain sighed and addressed the mother.
“Elena you have two choices. The first choice is to bring your daughter back from her world, but the magic and force it would take might kill such a tiny girl.”
Taking a breath Dr. Grain continued.
“Your other choice would be for me to make your daughter's world permanent and she will come back in her 15th year of life on her world.”
Dr. Grain took another big breath before continuing.
“Both decisions will take a lot of magic but one must be made, and I need an answer before your daughter disappears into somewhere that you will never be able to see her again.

 
SOOOO... WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE BEST? For those of you who didn't see the synchronized post scroll 2 posts down OK?

 Anyways please vote and I'll post more sneak peeks of the one you pick!

Cassandra Clare and other awesomeness

Is anybody actually reading this? Whatever I'm gonna post my life on here anyways. Well not exactly my life. That would be stupid. I mean what if some stalker decided to come stalk me? Never-mind...

What I really wanted to talk to you "mysterious followers" about was "City of Fallen Angels"
                                          You might of heard of the new book coming out in the series by Cassandra Clare.






 And if you haven't realized I'm really excited about it. LIKE SUPER EXCITED! And then I found out she was coming to Vancouver to sign books and talk and giveaway free stuff and be her awesome self. So now I'm really excited, even more excited then before... there was just one problem...

                                                                                  I sort of have synchronized swimming practice.

I know, I know, I know... your probably thinking, "So what? Just skip it for your fave (well second favourite) author. What's the big deal?"

Hmmm... the BIG DEAL is that I have a competition in 3 weeks and our coach is refusing to let us skip. What a downer right? So now I have a problem, a big problem cause I REALLY WANT TO SEE CASSY CLARE! BTW if you haven't read her books yet you should.





I totally recommend them. Anyways I have ballet (Helps with synchronized swimming)
