Hello, I’m Celina, web mistress to this here personal website. I am a thirteen year old Korean girl in the eighth grade, currently living on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Nice to meet you!
I’m a very confusing individual, so don’t worry if you can’t keep up ;) I am a quiet, shy girl at times, but I’m also the happy-go-lucky fun girl everyone can get along with. I am very confident, though you may not believe it, depending on when you catch me. I’m what they call a hopeless romantic, always daydreaming, never in reality when I can help it.
Living in Hawaii is still relatively new to me. I’ve lived in six states now: Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Maryland, and Hawaii. Georgia twice and Maryland twice. I lived in Georgia the most, though, for almost six years, from summer of ‘02 until spring of ‘08. I miss it there a lot, more than what’s healthy, I’m sure. We lived in a small town, smaller than you are probably thinking. Three hundred something was the population, and I’m not exagerating. It was called Bowersville, though we always said Hartwell, which was the main town in our county, and only five minutes away. Bowersville was literally itty bitty, going five miles to the left from our quarter-mile driveway was Hartwell, going right five miles was Lavonia. Now I’m living in the gigantic city of Honolulu.
I am a cheerleader, and have loved it since I was very, very young. I am currently on our middle school team, though it’s not very good. The school doesn’t trust us to do stunts, and we only cheer for basketball games. It’s better than nothing, though, so I’m going along with it. In spring, I’m trying out for the Radford team. Radford’s the high school I’ll be attending next year.
I also love acting. I started with drama in sixth grade, when we first had that class. I’ve been in many plays and musicals, and just tried out for my current school’s spring musical before break started. So yes, I do sing, and dancing pretty much comes with the whole cheer scene.
One of my hobbies I like to do when I actually have time in my busy schedule, is anything to do with fashion. I’ve always loved sewing, and ended up working my momma’s sewing machine to death! She bought me my own for Christmas ‘08, that I absolutely love. I sew everything I can, from fixing people’s clothes, to making some of my own. I look through designer’s websites to get ideas, like 3.1 Philip Lim and Betsey Johnson (who’s my absolute favorite desinger at the moment!). I modeled for Talbots when I was younger, and people keep telling me I should go back into it. I’m thinking about it… I can just imagine living in Manhattan and walking in my Burberry trench coat with a cup of Starbucks in my hand to work at some building, either working for a fashion magazine, or designing, modeling, or something like that.
I am not the type of girl to tell you how I really feel, so when I do you better make the most of it. I’m working on being able to say “I always mean what I say”, but I’ve still got a long way. When I’m upset, you most likely won’t know it. When I’m happy, though, or excited, you will definitely guess. You will rarely see me without a smile, because it’s really hard for me not to. I have what my mom calls a “Public Face”, where I can really, truly convince anyone that I’m happy and alright, when I’m really not. I’m a pretty nice person, but I can be really rude, if I think you deserve it, or just don’t like you in general.
I am a Christian, Seventh Day Adventist (or SDA), to be exact. Don’t know what that means? Basically that I’m an Adventist that goes to church on Saturdays, not Sundays like most people. I am trying very hard to put all of my trust in Christ and live for him only.
Music is one of my many loves, and I’ll listen to just about anything. My taste usually isn’t very mainstream, because radios aren’t really my thing. Commercials make me mad, so I’ve given up on that. I did go through a stage around sixth and seventh grade when I would only listen to whatever everyone else did, then gave that up when we moved to Maryland. Now I’m the girl who listens to whatever I like, not caring what anyone thinks. Some of my favorite artists are John Mayer, Sara Bareilles, Boys Like Girls, Plain White T’s, We The Kings, and A Fine Frenzy. Before you go off and say that some of them are very mainstream, think about it. Only one or two songs by any one of them really are. Most people buy the songs the hear on the radio, then cast off the rest of the album, and that’s most definitely not me.
As for school stuff, I’m pretty naturally smart. I attended a small Christian private school for kindergarten and first grade, then moved to Georgia so attended the brand new public school just five minutes away, or actually two minutes after you get out of our driveway. I was put into TAG, meaning talented and gifted. It was basically an advanced class for second to eighth graders. I stuck with it through the end of our time in Georgia when I was in seventh grade. In Maryland, I was put into their advanced classes, and I tested into the one seventh grade algebra class. I know what you’re thinking, they must be dorks. But they really weren’t, I promise you! Maybe a couple, but that’s it. This year we all moved up to Geometry, and drove the teacher insane because we wouldn’t shut up. Especially the table I was at, actually. When we moved here, to Hawaii, I refused to be in the GAT classes, which is just TAG except backwords. I had already started school, was in all my classes, and did not want to switch things up again. I was put into algebra at first, since they didn’t have a geometry class, but then was switched out and put into a math teacher’s class while she had no students except one other guy who takes geometry online. I hate the eSchool thing, it’s stupid, but oh well.
Even though I can seem smart, I am one of the most blonde, airheaded, out there kind of person you will ever meet. I don’t have much common sense, and will do things out of impulse. You ask me, Wanna run down that hill instead of taking those big, long steps?? I’ll say, OK! and run down the hill without once thinking, What if we call onto that concrete thing in the middle of the ground?!?. Really. It happens.
This 1200+ word page about me really doesn’t tell you too much, does it? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ll probably be adding to and changing this a lot this year, it’s just a little bit of my ADHD peaking out (: Thanks for reading!
