Well! It such a warm and beautiful afternoon today! The weather was almost perfect here. It was so nice that my mom decided to take advantage of it by running some important errands. The first stop that me, my little sister, and my mom did was look for the ice skating rink. Today was Monday which is usually homeschool day, but since we were late to it, Mom decided just look for it to figure out where the ice rink was so we could possibly skate during the summer. After about 30 minutes, we finally found the place, and it was nowhere near where mom thought it would be.




The next stop was the public library, which reminded me that I should really get back into reading again. Shannon was suppose to return her Dora DVD, but she was sneaky and "Forgot" to put it back in it's case, and on top of that she got to rent an "Alvin and the chipmunks" Movie and keep the other movie for a week.



As food the restaurant of choice was "Peace of Pizza". This pizza place is very cozy and is known for its retro feel and unusual types of pizza. I got "Mac and Cheese" and BBQ pizza. Shannon even got a free cookie just for being adorable. The only complaint I have about this place is that they should actually play some retro music instead of modern. Mom then preceded to take us to a camera store that was going out of business to see if she could find some deals (The effect of the recession!) but nothing there caught her eye.






At the moment I am drinking a delicious cup of hot chocolate and watching an NBA playoffs game (Dallas vs. Denver I think?)




Ciao!

Yesterday was mothers day and to make herself content, my mom cleaned up the house and relaxed all day. She was also super excited when my dad gave her a mini laptop as a present, she had no idea (but we did). Since nobody wanted to go to the movies with my mom to see the Soloist with Jamie Foxx (Too dramatic for them). I decided to go. Before the movie we went to wawa to get candy for the film (I got twix naked juice, water, and some other candy). A great thing that happened was when Mom dropped money at the ATM machine, and a nice man who drove a motorcycle took it up to the cashier to show that someone lost their money (he could have easily taken it).
At the box office, my youthful looks gave me a advantage as the movie worker charged me only for a children's ticket. The movie in my opinion was better than I thought, but it was still no slumgdog millionaire.







A few days ago my Aaron my little brother made some apple turnovers, and they were delicious!



And sometime after that, Shannon iced Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls all by herself!

I'm Going to Scotland!!!!

Tonight I learned from my mom that the homeschool handbell choir that i'm in is letting my little brother go to Scotland with the traveling choir, and they want me to come to play percussion instruments. I feel so happy inside, i've never been to Europe before!And it will be the first time that I will get to ride in a plane (minus when I was a baby). I still feel a little sorry for my other brother David.

Again

Oh Great! Yet again I wake up around 4 o'clock and miss most of the day (darn you computer addiction !). Mom has been down my back about doing my math lessons so I can graduate. I mean to but I always feel too lazy to look at them and take notes, plus math is my weakest subject and the lessons are really boring. But I want to pass 10th grade so I should try to put more effort in studying.

Later today, my little brother Aaron was kind enough to make apple turnovers for all of the family (they were very good!) And I thought he had abandoned cooking for sports!

Another thing, on Tuesday I had a cello lesson and we were late because I kept trying to look for my blue cello book which I couldn't find lass week. Mom kept honking and screaming at me to go, but I finally found it in my parent room? When I got the Church my teacher seemed to already have pieces that I could learn, but was relieved that I found my book. I'm kind of thankful that my Mother played lots of classical songs when I was younger because now it makes practicing music much easier since I recognize a lot of the songs. Another note, My teacher told me we didn't even have class last week, so all the running and crying and screaming that I did was worthless(My mom had to call in saying we wouldn't make it).

Ugh...

Oww!!! My period is on today and the cramps are absolutely horrible.
That's one thing I hate about being a girl. On the other hand I turned in my final papers and I'm officially done my first ever college course (I hope I get a nice grade!). After school, I went with my Mom and siblings to panera bread. I got a turkey sandwich and a mango smoothie (mmmm......). Now I am lying in bed in pain. And my Little brother Aaron keeps moaning about a DS.

Sleepy

Right now its 5'o clock in the morning, and I am so sleepy.
I'm so tired to mindlessly surfing on the Internet, I should have been working on my college paper revisions, which are due today. Even though the Internet is a great tool I can't help to start thinking that it can make you even more lazy than TV does.
That's why entertainment seems like it is so rehashed nowadays and music is downloaded illegally so often, it's because of laziness. I feel like I have a serious computer usage problem that God and my parents need to help me with. I can bet you a million dollars that when I have children, their computer use will be minimal or only what they need.

On another note, what's really the big deal about twitter? It just seems like facebook status to me. I don't know why everybody would need to know what you are doing all the everyday. This just seems like a waste of time and will soon go the way of xanga and friendster.

Today I woke up at 3:00 in the afternoon! I really have to go to bed earlier instead of mindlessly surfing on the Internet all night. I tried to make it up a little bit by putting away some of the dishes and vacuuming the steps. I feel that this is making me weaker and miss most of the lovely day and sunshine. I wished i hadn't woken up so late because I am almost starving for food now. Monday I have my last writ ting class and I should probably get chopping on my two papers ! (Film paper and research)

Friday!

Today was basically a normal day, I had to go to my college class after having class off on Wednesday. I think I should have checked the weather online before I asked my dad to drive me because as soon as we got to the community college, it started pouring heavy rain. Then dad started yelling about me bringing my computer since it could short circuit in the rain. Class actually turned out to be very short ( only ten minutes!). I think the reason for this was not many people come to class on Friday. Thank goodness that I had my cell phone because my parents would had not known I was out early ( there was barely any signal). I can't believe that the day I have money, the cafe is closed! Note: on monday, the last day of class. Later that day dad ordered pizza, and I got a p'zone (A little too much for me). Right now I am watching 20/20 with my brother, and i'm thinking I should go to bed soon.

Yum!

Have you ever tried steak with teriyaki sauce? it taste amazing.
All you have to do is pour some terriyaki sauce on leftover steak and microwave it for one minute and enjoy.

Long time no post

Hi! it's been such a long time since I've posted here, I just I have been far too lazy about it and try harder to post here at least three times a week. A few weeks ago I went to New York with my Mom to drop off our cousins (They had been visiting us for a week). The visit was mostly boring but the highlight was when my cousin Joy and I went to the movies to see "17 Again" with Zac Efron. I wasn't expecting much but it was much better than I thought it would it be. The worst part of the trip was when my three year old cousin Jax, took my toothbrush out from my bag and brushed his teeth with it!!! I cannot believe that Monday is the end of my first college class ever. In the beginning I was very scared of what to expect, but I've gown more comfortable later on. Also, on Sunday I went to a murder mystery party for one of my friends Jenny. I was Dr. Golden, a Chemist and the sister of the murderer.
