Magical

This last week have been just so crazy and I have been so exhasted. I'm kinda disappointed at myself for not reading all the blogs I follow (on blogger) but then again it's kinda exciting cause I sorta have a life, if you call being at school all the time having a life. Being in charge of the Freshman Forum Fair is so exhasting and I forget all about Color Guard! I feel so bad. Hopefully it will be great tomorrow.

Being at school for registration can be fun. Although most of the time I was working on the fair there was some great times such as playing hide-and-seek with Hector by using radios. I hope the work I did this summer for ASB will make me look good and give me some credibility.

Friday I went to the happiest and most expensive place on earth, Disneyland! I went with Tammie, Lance, Minerva, and Jenay, my cousins. We got a Family Reunion pin, which is true because Tammie came back from Boston and Mina came back from Great Britian. It was so much fun and great to be with all five of them since we don't really have time together. Ka-Kah. Pixie dust. Spots. Oh Jesus. Fireworks. It was magical.

Yesterday and today was so chill. Mina and I just watched So You Think You Can Dance clips, Chicago, Across the Universe, and went to the beach. I feel tanner!

Looking through the window of your past with news eyes can be so rewarding. This evening my family and I watched home videos of my mainly Travor and I. They were of swimming, playing in the park, practicing gymnastics, birthday parties, baths, and just plain sitting there. It's fun to look back. I was super skinny. Darn you puberty! What can I say, I was a diva back then. I was so over the top and bossy. It's kinda funny and entertaining.

Also this evening, I walked into my dad's office while he was watching a youtube video. He was watching swiming tutorials! I just thought it was hilarious. Not only was he watch them but they were from a young guy with like hip hop playing in the back. Then my dad starts showing everyone in the house the videos. Too funny.

...and my last wonderful family memory of the evening: my mom listening to the ipod in her bed singing Backstreet Boy's I Want It That Way.

The Week

No realy blogs since the 11th. Gosh, how am I so busy with nothing? How am I suppose to record my life when I don't take the time to?

I don't remember everything that happend since then but I do recall visits and lots of old movies: Golddiggers of 1933, Footlight Parade, Annie Get Your Gun, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I did watch a new movie, G.I. Joe, with Lance and Travor. Entertaining. The next night was BUNKO! How can an game with old ladies be so fun? Well, I actually didn't play with the old ladies. I brought Travor along and am glad he had fun with my friends. I also brought him along to mountain biking with Snow White and Tarzan. Can you say epic fail? It was like all uphill but still, it was fun.

This past week I feel like I've already done a lot of work. I've made the agenda for the next core team meeting (which I'm not sure Pat will use) and I've emailed all the club adviors about the Freshman Forum Fair. Crazy. On Monday we had an ASB Meeting and then I went to Giusti's office for the first time. It was even the first time I ever spoke to him. After the meeting I went bowling with Snow White, Travor, Amy, Michelle, and Kevin (Travor's friend). It was fun and yet I failed once again. I remember doing really good when I was younger. Sucks.

You know what else sucks? Not being able to go to the Uganda Benefit! Oh well, I'm going to Disneyland with the cousins instead! The happiest and most expensive place on earth.

Oh man, the military called me! They tried to recruit me into the army. I felt so bad for the guy. He was honestly trying and I felt like he was wasting his time with me. Dang, 10 minutes trying to get off the phone. "I'm not strong," was my excuse. Ha....

This week also included two Altar-serving training dates. Cheyenne and I had some laughs when I told her about Good Shepherd School questions, Vactican I Catholics, and the Vietnamese wife(?!).

The rest of my week awaits...

More....water?

Some more photos of camp:


I love that shot.

Sometimes I wish my stream of conscientiousness can be recorded whenever I wished it to.

Anyways, I didn't do much during my weekend. I tried to catch up on sleep then watched my cousins and my brother's swim meet on Saturday. I miss swimming. I love getting into and feeling half in air half in water. Hehe...a cute lifeguard told me he likes my sunglasses.
Sunday I actually got to be in the water. It felt great and made be more confident although right now that confidence has vanished since I just ate ice cream and two cookies!
Monday my time at the VA was not so pleasant. One of the ladies wanted to send Jennifer and I back to Volunteer Services since Shawn wasn't there. Say what? That's why we're not coming back this week.

So last night I had a dream that included being stranded in the ocean with my brother and my cousin Lance. We had some survivor moments and then found land. This morning I was listening to AJ's Playhouse and they had this dream lady on and apparently water has to deal with that time of month. and guess what...I'm on mine!

Hot Priest, Hot Nun

Why is it that the cutest people at camp are going to be a priest and a nun. I'll have people to back that up too. The second picture is off Pam and me. Gosh I love her! She's such an inspiration and the highlight of my days. I feel bad for all the guys. We "lost another one" as Jenna said in her witness talk. So Pam remembered my name, took a picture with me, waved at me at dinner, and she called me her friend! Ahhh! She is my idol icon. She so sweet and cute and kind, and so like our Blessed Mother!

Ok, enough of my obsession of Pam.

Camp Emmaus was the best! The moment I came back on my driveway I just wanted to come back. It truly is true that the best friends we make are those in faith.

I must say, this year I had the best small group I had ever had. Group 6, Jesus + Friends consisted of myself, Gerard, Amanda, Katie, Adriana, Billy, Shayan, Kyle, Ally, Rayven, and of course, Jesus! OMJ, we connected right away and had the best moments ever. Affirmations were amazing. They always make me feel so good. I had such a good time with them. So many memories including Connie, soda machines, "You need to freshen up," matchmaker, moms, I love you's rocking out, lusting, and so much more. Oh, and I got back at Ally when it came to cute boys. haha!

Not only did I have an fabulous small group, my cabin had seven beautiful ladies! Although Charisse left, Deanna, Stephanie, and Cheyenne moved in with Jasmine, Victoria, Nina, and me. We had the loveliest talks at night, and getting to talk about faith at night just reminds me that there are others like me out there. We had the best time ever. Vicki's black lady alter ego came out! She is so scary! There was also a night when Nina flashed her flashlight on and off at Cheyenne and I so we started to do model poses. I kinda got a little carried away and got recorded! Oh dear. They also took an embarrassing photo of me when I made my body go through the ladder to say hi to Estephanie. I love those girls.

All the night activities were just incredible. Sunday night's concert had everyone getting into the music and faith. I think Monday night was when we split the girls and guys up and it was just so inspiring. Tuesday night we watched The Ultimate Gift, which I totally call the protagonist (he's such a hottie). I highly recommend watching that movie. The talent show on Wednesday night was so much fun and to have affirmations following that was just perfect.

I think my favorite part about camp this year was Adoration. It was so powerful and occurred after the Mass my group was a part of. It's kinda weird that Fr. Joe was wearing sandals during Adoration but that's ok. It was just so, I don't know how to describe it other than powerful. You could definitely feel Jesus's presence when we sang, and when we had a pause in singing in the middle, I could hear all our voices in the wind. Jesus definitely has the most beautiful name in the world. Just saying his name can give chills.

There's always more to tell but there's so much I wouldn't be able to tell everything.

I love Camp Emmaus! "It's an everyday thing."

Camp Emmaus

IS TOMORROW!!!! yay! I'm so excited and am so ready for a faith high! Oh, and cute Catholic boys! ha, I'm so bad. I'm excited for that as well.
My aunt had (and is still having) a party with her friends so Travor and I decided to bike to Sarah's house. Again we went to the park and did made obstacle courses.

"Hey that slide has speed bumps!"

Oh, my brother.

Everyday I make a mental note to "blog that" but I always end up forgetting.
