brown paper packages tied up with strings: Living in a Tree

I am long overdue with a current blog so here I am, after watching 2 hours of the Bachelorette, which I detested years ago but it's kinda a guitly pleasure. It all started with the end of the last season finale of the last Bachelor and I was hooked. And then I spent another 2 hours today watching something that is such a waste of time and so superficial but I keept staying on the couch. This show is something I would have loved when I was three and when I would always be heard saying, "How romantic...!" I think it's that same part of me that causes me to enjoy these things. And now I'm making a new post on my blog while I should be studying for my physio test. yikes!

This weekend was so intense! I was exhausted by the time it was done. A major part of this weekend was Di Dung's funeral. A mass on Friday and Sunday, the viewing on Saturday, and the actually funeral on Sunday. It was so sad to see someone so lovely step away from this life so early, but what happens happens. It's all in God's plan. Please pray for her family.

Victoria's graduation from Cathedral was this Saturday and I was lucky enough to go and take photos of her!

Then we went to BJ's in North County. It was my first time there and my first time driving on the freeway without anyone there with me.

That day I got to get closer with Nga. I took her to the graduation and at the ASB Banquet we had some time on the bench outside and we just talked and cried and talked and cried. It was some good heart-to-heart. <3

After school today I went to target to get a few things and then I found the cutest thing! I couldn't believe I spent $13 on what is essentially stickers for a wall but I do not regret it! I thought my mom would get pissed but she actually liked it and said the price was not bad. She even helped me put it up. It's taking the place of Sora, which I bought the first year I went to Comic-Con which would be July of 2006. Has that wall scroll really been up there for almost 4 years? It's about time to replace him. I never really played Kingdom Hearts, I just loved the animation and thought Sora was cute, and he looked like Tai from Digimon, my MAJOR cartoon crush. haha.
