Let me tell you something.

Sean Covey once quoted on his "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" that "a goal not written is only a wish", so I shall then tell you my goals.

1. Graduate with high honors. I want to make up for all the screwing up I did before.
2. Go to a prestigious college. That is, the college I really want to go into: University of the Philippines Manila.
3. Write a book. Write a book chronicling my life and the lessons I learned along the way. Get it published so I can help all the other teens out there.
4. Deliver an inspirational speech.
5. Sing. Sing your heart out. Sing Celine Dion's songs because she actually sings. Sing Christina Aguilera's songs, too. Challenge my vocal chords. Challenge them HARD.
6. Take a photograph of something, have it framed and sold. If it sells, take a photograph of another object or situation and have it sold. If it sells, take a photograph...
7. Make the most of what I've got.

I guess that's the purpose of my life.

Rule of thumb:

Don't follow fashion trends. Start them.

A little something for whoever stumbles upon this page

I have a lot of blogs. I don't know why I keep making them. I have a LiveJournal, I had one on Freewebs, I have a Multiply, a Wordpress, a Tumblr, I use the notes section of Facebook.

Yep, only two are active. My Tumblr and my Facebook. I write stuff on Tumblr that I want to share with the world but not with the school. I share on Facebook what I want the school and my classmates to know, but not for the world to know. Sometimes I crosspost stuff.

So, I kind of don't know what I should do with my Blogger. I made this because I wanted to start off with a post that talks about me, because the "about me" post in Tumblr is somewhere near the recent posts.

Forgive me if it's kind of empty. I'll get to it someday.

About me.

Hi. My name is Ruth Lyra, but you can call me Chippie. I'm sixteen years old and a senior in high school. I like writing, taking pictures and being inspired. I also like to share inspiration with the world.

When I grow up, I want to be an inspirational speaker. I'm also the weirdest person you'll ever meet.
