It's been quite awhile since I last posted on my blog, right?
Anyway, I have returned with a new post; Assignment #25.
Today, I'm posting about my favorite things when I was younger, with pictures, and a small paragraph. So here it goes!
1. Lilo & Stitch (The Movie)
Lilo & Stitch was my all time favorite movie when I was a kid. I remember I bought a hula skirt from the dollar store, and a lei, and pretend to be Lilo. My cousin and I would take parts of the movie and reenact scenarios. I literally watched this movie over 100 times!
I loved it so much because the movie was funny, and really cute, with quirky characters. It is still very special to me, because people I know would joke around with me, saying I look like Lilo! I wish I could watch it again, now that I'm older, but I only have it in VCR, and our VCR is broken. Maybe my parents could buy it for me, for my birthday! (May 23rd, just saying.)

2. Go, Dog. Go!
By: P.E Eastman
When I was younger, I would read this book all the time! I liked it so much because of the colorful pages, and the cute dogs. It was
also revolved around to specific dogs, who could talk, and that always made me laugh. It isn't as special to me as it used to be, because I guess I'd rather read thicker books, and magazines.

3. Webkinz
Oh boy. I remember when I had one of these! When I was about 7 or 8, Webkinz where the coolest plushie you could have! You were connected to a virtual world with your Webkinz. That's why I liked it so much.
I had alot of them! But my favorite was my reindeer I got for Christmas, when I was about 8. His name was Blitzen, and he is still special to me because he's sentimental value.
Reindeer Webkinz.

4. Glasses For D.W
By: Marc Brown
This was another favorite of mine when I was little. I was a huge Aurthur fan, so that's why I liked the book so much. It's not as special to me, but I like to read it from time to time.

5. Now You See It, Now You Don't
By: Anne Mazer
'The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes,' was my FAVORITE book series ever! The characters were really relateable, and witty! Especially Abby Hayes. But this was my favorite book out of the whole collection. The genre for this specific book was sort of mystery, and that's my favorite genre! It's not really special to me anymore, because I read it over, and it's a really easy book.

5. Love You Forever
By: Robert Munsch
I really liked this picture book because when I was little, I read this to myself. I read it as if it was lyrics to a song, so there was a certain tune to it. It's sort of special to me now, because it reminds me of how much my mom loves me, and still will love me in years to come.

6. Kraft Dinner!
My dad told me, that when I was about six, I was obsessed with Kraft Dinner. I guess I just liked the cheesiness to the pasta. I still like it sometimes, but not as much as I used to. I upgraded to tortellini and fedichinni!

7. Vtech Laptop
This was my best friend when I was six. Haha, just kidding! But I truly loved it. I'm not really sure, but I think I got this for Christmas. Or birthday. I adored it so much because I thought it was the coolest thing! I had a 'virtual' dog, and a 'credit card' I'd use, to buy stuff for my 'dog.' The laptop was also educational. It had number games, patterns, spelling games and other fun games to choose from.
It doesn't work anymore, so I stopped using it for a very long time. It's not as useful/special to me. Cause, well I have an actual laptop!

8. Blue's Clues
This was one of my favorite shows when I was about 3 or 4. How ironic, I said I'm appealed to the genre of mystery, and I been watching 'Blue's Clues' since I was a kid. I just realized that.
It was special to me because it felt like the host, Steve, was always talking and referring to me. And I would always interact back with him. This show is still special to me, because before Blue's Clues aired off TV, my little brother Ben would watch it, and I would remember some of the lines!

9. Burritos
I think I was 8 at the time, when my mom used to pack me a burrito almost everyday for lunch. And it wasn't even the good kind. It was the refrigerated ones! I got so sick and tired of it! I liked it because it use to taste good. It's not special to me anymore. Unless it's the Taco Bell kind, cause I love those!
***
10. Pokemon Emerald
I admit. When I was I think 8... I was a Pokemon nerd. I don't know how much time I wasted playing my Pokemon Emerald on my Game Boy Advanced SP, but I'd say ALOT. I got it for my 8th birthday, because a couple of cool, older guys I looked up to played Pokemon. So, why can't I?
It was actually really fun being a Pokemon nerd. It was like I was transported to a whole new, make believe world with strange creatures. (Aka the Pokemon.) It's not special to me anymore, since new and improved technology came out like ipods, cellphones, and social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Tumblr.

So anyway, thanks so much for reading, and I hope you learned alot of new things about me, and my childhood.
See you next post,
