Title:

Christmas was nice. Food was the theme of this week.

I feel like running a mile.. or doing some crunches.

1. I'm glad you feel better :) I hated seeing you like that, and I hope I never have to again. Thank goodness you're back to normal now.

2. I can't figure out if I do or I don't.. but there's just something about you..

3. You're a great friend. I don't know what I'd do without you. You make every situation ten times funner. Even though I feel like slapping you sometimes.. & most of the time I actually do, it's just 'cause I love you =)

♥, mo

Jingle

It's 1:36 a.m. & I have no idea why I'm still up. I think it's because I'm so excited for christmas.. The whole Ocampo clan is coming over tomorrow. I can't wait :)

Santa Monica yesterday was fun. I love it there.. there's so many things to do/places to shop/cool places to eat. Went to some italian deli & got a sandwich called the "godmother". I didn't even bother asking what was in it, 'cause it definitely was not healthy. (I later found out it had like 5 different kinds of meat in it.. *gag). Then walked around the promenade.. I love the little street performers they have there. Then went to century city mall.. they have a freaking bomb food court. Quality stuff right there.

Went climbing this morning. I need more upper body strength =| Made some of my mother's delicious cookies that she only makes once a year.. only at Christmas. I had 3 immediately after they came out of the oven. This whole week, I've eaten nothing but In-N-Out, leftovers, Cuca's, junk food, & dessert Tracy brought home. Everyone is either too lazy or too busy to cook an actual meal. #1 on my New Year's resolution: exercise the holiday pudge off.

Merry Christmas! ♥

winterbreeeak:

In-N-Out, Threshold -- Liz & I did a v1.. we felt so accomplished, got graffitied on, boba, choir concert @ Chinese church, got my car stolen, visited Nicole....'s house, park, Christmas concert @ University church, saw pretty lights @ the Mission Inn, Spaghetti Factory w/ mi familia, cosmic bowling, Jared's party.. for like ten minutes, Forever21 bonding with Tracy, failed ice skating attempt, went shopping w/ Max, Chandler, & Greg (the beginning of Chandler's new wardrobe :), Christmas shopping at VG, In-N-Out.. again. I'm going to gain 10 pounds these next two weeks.

Roflcopter

I love spontaneous days like today.

Chilled in Jon's car with Matt & Justin, then went to Hulda Crooks. I'm the master at the "who can swing the highest" game. Played ultimate rock paper scissors, throw the golf ball through the hole, & imaginary volleyball. "Roflcopterlmaowtfstfulololololololz". Hahah. Then to Redlands Mall for a choir concert. Why? I don't even know. The only people watching were parents. Hm.

Watch Jon's ultimate fail. & Chandler, shush. I know what you're gonna say.

Climb

BOYYY am I tired. I went to Threshold for the first time today with Heather, Matt, Chandler, Max, & Greg. I went in thinking it would be pretty easy.. man was I wrong. My arms are sore & my hands are blistered, but it was all worth it. Let's go again (: Oh, & I forgot to mention that we almost died on the way home all thanks to a Clark's truck. Lol.. Heather.

This is for Chandler.

1. I just realized you have a really nice smile.

2. I liked your beanie.. (:

3. When you do, I don't. When you don't, I do. How frustrating.

I have to wake up at 6:40 tomorrow morning for choir. Effmylifeeee! 

Goodnight. ♥, mo

Jittery

1. So apparently I saved a quote you said, and I just found it today. Funniest thing ever. It's amazing how much you've changed since freshman year. Bravo. You're so completely different in some ways, but EXACTLY the same in others. I do miss the old you sometimes, though.

2. Uhh, why did I even bother talking to you? Now that I think about it, I wasted so much time on pointless/useless conversations with you. I should've stopped it sooner.. I don't know why I let it go on for so long. I still can't believe you did that. You willl seriously never change.

3. I found a conversation I saved of you & me from 2 years ago. I might've thought it was cute a couple months ago, but definitely not anymore. Every time I think about you, I just think about all the things I heard. I seriously can't look at you the same way anymore.

4. So I just realized that I really miss talking to you. We used to be so close, and I don't know what happened. I miss being able to count on you as someone who would listen to anything I had to talk about.

5. I miss you reminding me to wish at 11:11 every single day during math class. I wish you were here more often. You're still the same though. Thank goodness you haven't changed.

6. You are my biggest regret. Reading all those old conversations.. they sound so fake now.

7. You make me feel like a 5 year old when I talk to you. But I'm glad we've fixed things a bit.

8. STOP TEXTING MEEEE. Ohmygoodness, you drive me crazy sometimes.

Lethargic.

I can feel my brain dying. Really. I can feel it slowly rotting.

I'm tired of schoooool and homework and studying and optionals 

and labs and boring lectures and analyzing poems and chapter 7 

in geometry and taking notes and waking up at 6 a.m. every day.

It's currently 9:32 & I have yet to start my homework. I don't know

how I'm able to go 4 hours doing absolutely nothing productive..

CHRISTMAS WISHLIST #1:

- A new folder. It's falling apart.. The only reason it's still functional

is because I've taped it together so my papers won't fall out.

- Toe socks. I just realized that I lost my old pair. Boooo.

- A new iPod. Someone stole mine. Or maybe I lost it.. FML.

- UP. I have yet to watch it.. Someone rent it & watch it w/ me?

- Furry earmuffs.

Banquet!

Banquet last night was lovely! I'm glad I didn't end up asking anyone. Who said you needed a date to have fun? My expectations were pretty low, but maybe that's why I ended up liking it so much? Well it was definitely better than last year, that's for sure.

It's raaaaaining ♥

Photobooth fun

TGFTB

Sleeping in past 6 never felt so good <3

Earl asked Krista to banquet yesterday! It was so cute. The gazebo idea was a complete fail, so we ended up putting christmas lights around the merry go round. It looked so pretty with the city lights in the background (: We kidnapped Krista & blindfolded her, & then Earl sang her a song. Awww x2348734. Finally got to spend time with Cassidy & Casey afterwards <3 I've missed them. Went to watch New Moon again.. Just as good the second time :)

Food

Choir concert, getting lost in the ghetto of San Bernadino, baking cake at Krista's, watching Twilight, learning how to shuffle in Stater's, CHUBBY BUNNY (:, Surfer Joe's, making 140+ caramel apples = my weekend.

"Today, I was working on my English essay that is due in 2 days. Feeling lazy, bored, and not wanting to work on the essay, I decided to go on Mystery Google. I typed up "Mwahahaha" and got "You are stalling from your homework". I'm onto you Mystery Google, I'm on to you.. MLIA."

I had no idea there was a such thing as Mystery Google! So I went on it & typed in "I'm hungry" and got "I eat danger for breakfast". Then I typed in 3.14 and got "Average poop size". I've spent the last 5 minutes on it seeing what'll come up next.. Hahaha.

<321

inanutshell,

choir concert, Heather's birthday adventure: cue for the first time :), revolving sushi bar, asian Costco a.k.a. H-MART, sleepover @ vivien's, gained 10 pounds off of asian junk food, citrus plaza, & no homework. 

I ♥ weekends

ifeellikerunningaroundincircles

I WANT TO DOOO SOMETHING. I'm dying of boredom.

Minimum days make me realize how unproductive I am at home.

:) TO-DO list for this year: 

- Cartwheel.. -__- I WILL do it this year. Forreals this time.

- SPLITS! Vivien & I made a pact that we'll do it by the end of the schoolyear.

- Cuatropuntouno.. one down, three to go.

- Run a mile. Felt like putting that there just 'cause I honestly don't 

remember the last time I did.

- Fill up my drawing&painting sketch book.

- Learn how to ____ as good as _____. Haha..

There's never any good music on the radio anymore.. 

Trick

Friday:

• Dressed up as a pirate (: 
• Banquet announcement. 
• McDonald's & photoshoot after school with NickyD. 
• The Fall was fun :) I swear Elizabeth was on something.. "When Chinese people talk, it sounds like they're chopping up their words." - Jon. HAHA. Oh, & I grew facial hair. Thanks Nick.

Saturday

• Church on campus.
• Ate out with the cousins.
• Last minute costume shopping with Tracy.. I was a "gypsy princess", according to the bag. Went trick-or-treating with Krista, Risha, Sherlene, Shasta, Sharde, Danielle, & Chelsea :) We were chased by a grudge girl and some psycho killer guy. Scariest thing of my life.. haha. Then football tournament, free Chipotle, & Shasta's house. Hm, I love Halloween :)
  

 

^ Andi's Photoshoot @ the pumpkin patch (:

Greeeat

Oh boy.. what have I gotten myself into?

Que?

"What's brown and sticky?" ... "A stick." - Greg. HAHA!

Went to the three story Forever 21 with Hannah, Vivien, & Heather 

before the party.. It's as big as a freaking Macy's. And it has escalators!

Amazing!

Erick's birthday party = Epic. I swear I saw his house on MTV cribs once.. 

It's beautiful.

Great weekend (=

spinning

I set my alarm to 1 a.m. to watch the meteor shower last night..
Apparently it's supposed to be the best meteor shower of the year.
What a lie. I sat outside in 40 degree weather for half an hour
and all I saw was one meteor. Out of the corner of my eye.
And I didn't even get the chance to make a wish :(

1234

Watching this makes me wish I was cool enough to know how to dance.

magnesium (IV) sulfate

Biggest lesson learned last week: Don't leave your headlights on.

Thank God for boy's who know how to use jumper cables.

Weekend was eventful-ish. I got the biggest workout of my life on Saturday.. I 

introduced my little cousins to the trampoline & they couldn't get enough of it. 

They invented this game where they would lie down and make me jump so they 

could fly up in the air.. I swear, they made me do that for like thirty minutes straight.

We carved a pumpkin too (: I was going for the vampire look, but a tooth fell off. Fail.

Sunday -- So being the genius that I am, I forgot to turn off the alarm I use for school which is set at 6:00 a.m.. So I woke up at 6 thinking it was 8, and I didn't realize this until I walked downstairs & my mom was like what the heck are you doing awake so early. But anyways. Fair was fun (: We had leftover fish from the Ping Pong toss, so Elizabeth, Lydia, Jon, and I decided to get a fish & see who's lived the longest. Yeah. So. Guess who's died first? I can't even keep a fish alive for more than 24 hours. 

How sad.

:( R.I.P. Ramen.

Tres.

Friday: Krista's house, drove aimlessly around Loma Linda trying to kill time before the fall, went to Nick's aunt's house, took my first light graffiti picture (:, locked Nick out of the car after he tried to scare me.. but of course it didn't work.. *ahem, went to the fall, witnessed Heather jerk.. hah, I love her, ate the yummy snacks they had there.. OH, & I am now a 5th wheel. Great.

Saturday: Slept in.. sorry God. chilled with my brother & cousin for a bit, pumpkin patch photoshoot w/ Andi & Elizabeth.. & then Greg a little later.. pictures taken by Ashlee :), saw pumpkins on sale for 60 bucks, played in hay, went fishing, got myself lost driving to Reche Canyon for an S.A.L.T. meeting, went to Blockbusters w/ Jon, Nick, & Omar to rent a scary movie, cancelled all of that & ended up going to boba with Omar where we played monkey snowfight until they closed down.

Sunday: Decided against doing homework, went to the championship basketball games at church, rented a movie at blockbusters w/ Jon afterwards.. *don't watch The Haunting in Connecticut, met Sampson.. Lol, most random day of the weekend (:

Monday: My parents told me we were going to go eat at Red Robin, but on the way there, they decided they wanted me to get a flu shot. They planned all of that, I'm sure. Went to Wal-Mart, did some quality grocery shopping at Fresh&Easy, finished my history project, & started reading Steps to Christ for my book report.. due tomorrow. I really need to stop procrastinating. Thank God it was a short book.

There are definitely not enough 3 day weekends in a school year.

Tired

1. It's crazy what things people might say and even 

crazier to think that you thought they knew you better

 than that.. I'm tired of hearing all of this nonsense. 

I don't understand how you could even think 

that's true after all that happened. 

2. I'm tired of change. I see it in you & you. 

If it's for the better, then I'm all for it. 

But seeing as how it's not..

3. I love you and I hope you know that I'll always 

be here for you if you need me. 

I'll be praying for you.

4. I miss you, you, & you. 

Come back, change back, and think back.

Bliss

HC Freshman year.. 

HC this year. Crazy how time flies, eh?

(: Happy. 

WEEKEND: To sum it up.. University church, Wendy's, pre-homcoming nap at Krista's, HC @ Gameworks :), body heat, LOW!, "Relationships are healthy" - Neal, In-N-Out, deeeead tired. Thanks for bringing me, Sherlene :)

Woke up & watched some Lifeguard show w/ Risha & Krista. "We received some good news.. He has no spinal injuries.. just a swollen lip." Hahah. Krista found a box full of old Disney videotapes & home videos. Watching us from 9 years ago.. Hilarious. Then went to church to watch the games.. they were all so close. Championships are gonna be inteeeense.

D.C.

Red velvet, chocolate hazelnut, chocolate3, & vanilla2

The BEST cupcakes I have ever tasted. I ate 4 =)

Leaving for D.C. tomorrow until Sunday to visit my sister :)

Beach vespers was so much fun this year (:

Singing Lucky with Heather, "I'll give you a piece of gum if you..", seaweed hunting, sand sculpturing, "No, that's not where the ears go!" -__- , big franks & grape soda, NINJA :), Greg: "Some guy just asked us to be on a tv show!", "What color was his shirt?" Max: "Plaid!", Greg: "Gray!", Joaquin: "Black!", Brian: "Gray!", sunset jumping pictures, "I can't even tell what that says!", attempting a pyramid picture, truth or dare.. or just dare, ihop.. mMmm, good times good times. Pictures later.

Yesterday

Church, then went to Krista & Risha's house with Sammy. Went to Stater's to buy food. "Jeez, she sucks at making sandwiches". "Why is the juice on the floor?" Watched Pineapple Express.. "The food is so nice, they named it twice!" Played Scattergories, "Uh Krista, Josh Hartnett is a movie star, not an athlete." Went to Krikorian & bought tickets for All About Steve, then went to watch Sorority Row.. haha. Risha, Sherlene, & Sharde couldn't get in because a guy came to stand in front of the theater to check tickets, so it ended up being just me & Krista. Haha.. funny stuff.

So today was interesting. The most awkward situation of my life turned out to actually be a good thing. But is that seriously all it took? If I knew that, then I would've done it earlier. Goodness.. =) I have a feeling this week is gonna be a good one. 

Simple.

9x - 7i > 3(3x - 7u)

ilymanda!

Manda's going-away dinner on Saturday night. 

20 loud asian kids all packed into Macaroni Grill =)

School is very blah lately. And I freaking haaaate my schedule. Guess who has optionals on Fridays? I'm at school until 2. Yep. It's great. I wish I was going to havasu.. Haha. I'm so not looking forward to ITBS testing this week. But there's beach vespers on Friday =) Yay!

I SPOKE MY FIRST SERMON TODAY =) Okay, well I don't know if you could call it a sermon.. more like me reading a bunch of stories & then explaining them afterwards. But I'm proud of myself. I hate public speaking, but I wasn't really nervous at all. Oh, & the shirts are gonna look pretty bomb at SA picnic, if I must say.

So I'm super confused right now. I'm trying to figure this out.. but I still don't get what I did. But I'm now 100% sure that I'm right about it.. not about understanding what I did.. but about that other thing. But then I hear that so & so saw blah blah blah & then now it's just 10 times more confusing. And what's really annoying is that this is only making me feel the opposite of what I thought I'd feel.. And I think it's probably because this has never really happened to me before. I think I'm used to it being the other way around. And I hope that made no sense to you at all.

My new favorite game: Ninja. Although you look 

like an idiot waving your hands around when you're 

playing, it's actually a lot of fun. You've got to try it.

Oh, & I also got slapped in the face today while 

playing ninja. Thank you, Matt Loh. Apparently 

he can't control his arm enough to feel that he's 

swinging it right into my face instead of my hand.

FML

So as of today, I am now totally convinced that I am the most forgetful & unlucky person in the world. If there was an award for losing/forgetting things, I would definitely win. Like seriously. If anyone finds a tan-ish wallet, then please be a good samaritan & return it to me.. preferably with everything still in it. 

Expectations

Such a random weekend.

I miss talking to you

I wish you would move on

I'm really sorry

I don't know what I did?

I miss the way it was before

I miss the old you

I wish you didn't change

I want to slap you sometimes

I can't believe you'd say that

I can't believe you'd do that

Oh gawsh. I don't know anymore.

sleep-deprived

So now I'm starting to realize why junior year is supposedly the hardest out of all four years. I just spent almost 2 hours trying to figure out the chem homework. Half of which, I barely even understand. I don't even feel like studying anymore -___- My brain feels like it just ran a marathon. And died. I hate conversions. GAHHHHHD, all I want is a decent amount of sleep.

ESCUELA

School is school. Nothing exciting. Junior year is a piece of cake so far.

quirky

"Color my life with the chaos of trouble."

Went to Olive Garden after church with Risha, Krista, Cosy, Jermaine, Christine, & Earl.
Then went back to Risha & Krista's house afterwards. We decided we wanted to go watch a movie so Risha looked up movies.. and whaddyaknow? It was the first day that 500 Days of Summer came out in Krikorian =) It was really really good.. you gotta watch it if you haven't yet. OH, & I'm TOTALLY up for watching it a 2nd time (: .. *cough, nick.. Haha.


“Darling I don’t know how to tell you this… there is a chinese family in our bathroom.”

firsts

YESSS THE WEEKEND IS HERE. I'm so sick of syllabuses.. syllabi? 

But I'm excited for this year =) Fresh start.. just what I need! Handshake was pretty fuuun. I thought last year was better, but that was probably because we got first on like 2 events and 2nd on the rest.. or something like that? BUT IT'S OKAY, because I know our class will get better this year. I can just feel it, ya know? ...Yeah, hopefully.

Pictures thanks to NickyD's beautiful camera:

Stuck.

Haven't updated in a while.. It's probably from the lack of excitement I've had this week. Got my wisdom teeth taken out on Monday, & up until now, my day has consisted of sitting on the couch all day, watching t.v., playing bubble spinner on www.addictinggames.com, eating soup, jello, & yogurt, taking pain meds every 4 hours, going to bed, & then starting all over again. 

The most exciting thing I've done this week was going to registration.. Thank God they didn't make me take my yearbook picture. & I'm satisfied with my schedule =) other than the fact that I have to have a first period.. but luckily it's just for one semester. OH, & I got a middle locker! I'm so excited about that, you have no idea. I've had to deal with having a bottom locker for the past two years. I kindof wish school would start.. but only because I'm dying of boredom right now.

Tidbits.

I. WOW, am I seriously debating whether or not to get a twitter? 

OH NO. What's happening to me? 

II. So even though the schedules are reeeally weird this year, the good news is that I don't have a first period for ONCE IN MY LIFE. Thank God.

III. I finished reading Midnight Sun today. I REALLY wish I could say that I'm not one of those overly obsessed Twilight fans, but after reading Midnight Sun & seeing the trailer for New Moon that they showed at comic con.. I can't help it. Taylor Lautner & Robert Pattinson together in one movie is just too much ♥ HAHA but seriously though, what's happening to me?

IV. I'm going to the beach tomorrow for only the 2nd time this summer.. ah, how sad. & I just realized that my dentist appointment to get my wisdom teeth taken out couldn't have been scheduled at a worse time.. DANGit. Such bad timing. Hopefully the swelling & pain meds won't keep me at home all week. 

SORE

I HATE RUNNING. Oh goodness, football clinics are killing me. I am SO out of shape.. like seriously man. Yesterday was pretty much the first time I've run all summer. Ahaha, how sad. Buuuut anyways..

SATURDAY: Watched Mikey's baptism! Yay! & then ate out at Claim Jumper's afterwards.. *awkward moments thanks to Risha. "Her friend died of an overdose!" Krista: "Yeah.. & drugs!" HAHA such a brilliant girl. Sammy found hairs in his buffalo wings, lol. Then went back to my house while our parents went to some wedding. Played video games.. the CLASSICS like the original mario bro's & balloon fight (: Played dana & hi jack.. the best card games ever. Then threw waterballoons into my neighbors pool lol. Took videos of Denice c-walking & of Sammy trying to copy her. Then got bored so we rented The Unborn & Coraline! Sammy is such a scaredy-cat. Aha, The Unborn is such a gay movie. Made no sense at all. Coraline made up for it though.. it's such a cute/creepy movie. Played dominoes & more video games later then finally crashed at like 3 =P

SUNDAY: Highlight of the day: I got to pluck Denice's eyebrows! It was so much fun. I had so much to work with, ya know? 'Cause she's never gotten them plucked before. They are SO beautiful now. Then went to church to watch the basketball games. Stayed there from 4-9:30ish =| Then got Chipotle afterwards with mi padre.. goooood stuff. 

So that's my life lately. Nothing very interesting. I spent my day today watching a marathon of So You Think You Can Dance. It's so inspiring! I wish I could dance, hah. OH, but I found out that I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out on Monday. And you know what the great thing is? School pictures are gonna be taken two days later... PERFECT timing right? I'm gonna have chipmunk cheeks as a yearbook picture -__-

So true.

Beauty without intelligence is like a masterpiece painted on a napkin.

I hate living so far from civilization. And why is gas so expensive? 

Whoever provides us with gas should be more considerate. I wish I

 could just invent something that could teleport me wherever I wanted 

to go JUST by the push of a button. Wouldn't that be amazing? 

Happy Sabbath. ♥, mo.

Gabe Bondoc

Music to my ears.

Oh boy. His voice is amazing.

You are as simple as you are complex.

Like a color-by-number.. of the Mona Lisa.

So I decided to be semi-productive today since I can't really go anywhere.

1. I made myself a sandwich rather than just eating cereal.

2. I played the piano.. for the first time in a long time.

3. I organized my closet & got rid of some old stuff I never wear.

4. I stole my dad's 10 pound weights and ATTEMPTED using them.

5. I drew a picture of Hayden Panatierre that I found in my Seventeen magazine.

Surprisingly, you can actually tell it's her. I'm proud of myself =)

Busy day, I know. I rewarded myself by baking some chocolate-chip cookies. 

*Found this in Gabe Bondoc's blog..

How to Install Love

Tech Support: Hello … how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install
Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready.
What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart.
Have you located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running ?

Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem,
Grudgeand Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt
from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent
memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will
eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High
Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and
Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Can you turn those off ?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke
Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and
Resentment have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that
normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base
program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get
the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, “Error
- Program not run on external components.” What should I do?

Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set
up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In
non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before
you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the
following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your
Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the “My Heart” directory. The
system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty
programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all
directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely
gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files.
Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying
themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but
eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed
and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure
to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in
turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

SUCCESS!

..OR NOT.

HAHAHA, it didn't really work but whatever. We drove back & got him the 2nd time.

YEP. 

So today: Heather let me put make-up on her. I was so excited. I was going for the whole gothic/smokey look thing but it didn't really work out.. HAHA, never ask me to do your make-up. Uhm.. what else? Went to church to watch the basketball games. Martin made a BEAUTIFUL 3 pointer right at the buzzer to win the game by 1 point.. It was pretty sweet.

^ This was so painful.

RV rides, spamming earl & neal, sending year-old forwards, hotdogs & veggie burgers, "NEAL I CHALLENGE YOU!", boogey boarding, watching the guys play football, "so what's on your menu?", jumping pictures, louie's horrible driving skills, "you guys are all beautiful!", beach volleyball, sundown worship, pyramid pictures, group pictures, more pictures, s'mores, yale institute of psychology, eyejina's & buttjina's, big mama..

Oh boy, I've missed everyone =)

I love

bamboo?

OUR FAILED PHOTO SHOOT! (=

So after driving around Redlands for like thirty minutes trying to find a good spot, 

we finally found this bamboo forest thing at Prospect Park :) We were only there

for like ten minutes though, thanks to dehydration & the 90 something degree weather.

Summerdays

1. Went bowling yesterday. Oh goodness, I freaking suck. Have I ever gotten a strike in my life? I don't think so. It was nice seeing everyone again though (: Drove to Yogurtlicious & almost died 'cause freaking Ryan cut us off. But when we got there they locked the door =| So we drove to Starbucks but it was closed too. Ended up going to AMPM, aha. 

2. Lazyday today. Went to the dentist & they decided I needed to get my wisdom teeth taken out soon =O Greeeeat. Then ate at Maki Yaki. Thank God, I've missed sushi. 

3. NICHOLAS LAWSON DELEON, HAPPY BIRTHDAY :) I know I may not have been the first one to tell you that BUUUUT that doesn't matter. Wow, you are SO old. GET A LICENSE! Mmkay, well I hope you had/will have a WONDERFUL rest of the day. 

ILOVEAMERICA

I'm home =) Europe was nice. Very interesting. Good experience, ya know?

I've never felt so glad to be home, though. Pictures laaaater. Too lazy

to upload all of 'em. I MISS EVERONE! Let's hang out :) 

Hahaha I love this.

Ciao :)

Be back on July 18

Eh, when I'm not lazy..

Lately,

"In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe."

"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with."

So yesterday family came over for a BBQ. Watched some old home videos.. haha hilarious, and a little embarrassing. There was one of my brother & my cousin Jerome dancing to Beat It by MJ =). All dressed up in the black leather coats and everything. And there was one of me standing on the table singing/dancing to Thriller ;P .. I was like 5, just for the record! But anyways..

So today: Got insurance for the car.. I'm now officially able to drive (: Except my dad keeps making excuses as to why I can't drive places yet.. oh well. Got Cuca's for lunch. It's their 20th anniversary (or something like that), so we got free Coke. Sweet deal. So we got home & I thought I'd be free for the rest of the day but then my dad decides that I'm getting fat sitting around all day, so he drags me to the gym with him =| Uhm, can you say out of shape? I got tired after like.. 5 minutes. Not even exaggerating. I needa work on that. What else did I do today? I just finished watching Edward Scissorhands. Not the ending I was hoping for. I love Johny Depp though. Lalala, I guess that's all. Still need to watch UP before I leave.. still need to find someone who will go w/ me to watch it though. *Hint hint (=

Why didn't anyone tell me that you take your 

license picture when you take your permit test?

..I was wearing true grits. DAAAARN IT. 

Late to bed & late to rise..

TODAY I:

- Had cereal for lunch because I was too lazy to eat anything else.

- Wandered around the neighborhood because I just felt like it.

Random Thoughts:

"What is the biggest problem you have with yourself?"

"I'm never fast enough, never smart enough, never good enough. 

Just.. being insufficient."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I'm sorry I've been making it so hard for you. I wish I had your patience.

2. Weeeeell sir, I thought you were different.. but you're just the same as them. You just know how to hide it better. You make it pretty difficult, but I won't fall for it again.

3. Oh you. I guess I could include you in this, too. Along with you and you. I would include you too, but this is something I would expect from you.. not them. Seriously guys? I never would've expected it before. But I guess things really can change in the span of a year. Hopefully it hasn't been longer than that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd really appreciate it if you would:

- Take me to cue, pretty please?

- Go watch Transformers 2, The Proposal, and UP with me?

- Take me rock climbing? It seems really fun.

- Take me to Nubi or Yogurtlicious, yeah? I've been craving lately.

- Hm, market night anyone?

Random Findings

Life lessons for Grant. I miss these two =)

Arizona

What an experience.

Prescott was nothing like what I expected. 

This might be a bit long, just to let you know:

From Monday to Friday, we went to a family's house that was about 15 minutes away, and throughout the whole week, we restored the deck they had and landscaped all around his house. We'd work for about an hour every day.. I know it doesn't sound fun, but surprisingly, it really was. Hard work really does pay off, because when it was finished, it looked totally different. And plus, I got 12 hours of community service for it.. SWEET =) There would be afternoon activities almost every day.. We played football one day, & then there was a basketball tournament. I seriously didn't want to play, but they needed another girl so they dragged me in. I'm so glad I joined though.. it was one of the highlights of the week =) We made tye-dye shirts one day.. but someone stole mine. But then a kind friend gave me his.. even though it was 2 sizes too big. And mud volleyball, can't forget that. Oh boy, what to say about that? Well, I'll let the pictures explain it. Never done anything like that in my life.. Haha. & then there was a pool party.. with veggie hotdogs & burgers, of course. The night time meetings were amazing. Heather & I were in a watermelon eating contest.. Yeah, that's all I'll say about that. The speakers + praise team were great. We had to split up into small groups for the rest of the week.. I'm so thankful I ended up in the group I was in. It was.. pretty life-changing. It made me realize a lot of things, and I grew closer with a few people because of it. Well, it's really hard to describe the week because this entry honestly doesn't do it justice. There's so much more, but I'll just leave it at that. I'll just finish this off by saying that this past week was pretty sweet. I met amazing people, did things I never would've thought I would do, & grew closer to God from the whole experience. I was truly blessed by this past week & it really showed me how God can work & speak through other people. Thank you Heather so much for bringing me =)
