hello there

hello there blogspot. i'm extremely sorry for ignoring you for a while. ): i've been kinda busy and exhausted the past two weeks. right after dance practice, i would go to work at the afterschool then straight to tutor jonny till eight and get home at like 8:20 to do hw and i would just knock out! but i will not leave you to be anymore! sowee sorrryyy. i am back (:

so ... friday was a berry good day (: after practice, i went home and got ready to go eat dinner with church girlies, jessica & michelle. we went to applebee's and got the 3 for $20 deal. YUMMMM. finally our dinner date was a success! we were planning to hangout for sooo long! but we never got to it! then we went to service anddddddd BROOMBALLING! we had to wait like an hour before we left to go play though. we just... lied on the chairs and talked. LOl nothing special. and michelle went to the bathroom like three times. LOL bladder of a grandmama! LOL i lovee youuu

GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

finals pt.1

pictures: the first one is just freaking funny. i think LOLOL i really LOLed. and the pink car is TOOO CUTE! i want puhhreeze!

anyways, today was the first day of finals. kinda glad we didn't have practice cause i was pooped! people went out and hungout or went out to eat and stuff but, iono us dancers just go home and sleep. right corliss? we love sleeping LOL! so, i spent the last two days at jocelyn's house till two in the morning studying for math. so tiring! she wins the teacher of the year award! seriously, if it wasn't for her, i dont think i would have remembered half the stuff on the math final /: SANQ you QT 3.14!! (: LOOOOOOOOOOl speaking of qt 3.14, ryanne didn't know what that was LOLOOl hilarious. fyi, it's cutie pie, ryanne LOLL thank goodness tomorrow is the last day of finals (: and i get a two hour break before my practice starts. i wonder what i shall do! hmm.. getting off topic. but today my mom didn't want me to go to work casue it was raining to much -.- but my life shouldn't stop because something's "dangerous". i went to work anyways. and thank goodness i did! cause today was sooo fun! jody and caleb were the last ones there! YAYAYAY LOL today i wore a little mermaid sweater and like jeans and jacket and boots and jody asked me if it was picture for me cause i dressed nice. HAHAHA wasn't dresses nice aT all. and cyndia and claudia were all over my sweater. they were like "mama look at joanne's sweter. it's ariel. can we get one can we get one please please mama please?" LOOOOOOOl i love work. but yes, i should go read A Doll's House now. i have no clue what imma do about chem final though /: i can honestly say, in my high school career, i have not learned a thing from chem honors or chem ap. -.- OH WELLS. byebye

dancedance

this is so random LOL buttttttttt i was thinking, and i know in college i'll be super busy. honestly, i dont even think imma get into a fabulous college /: hopefully i do. ir eally reallyr eallyr eallyr eaaaally really hope i do. but i mean, who doesn't want to right? but i would love to get into a great university aka usc and be busy but not TOO busy. cause i wanna keep dancing. yea... i'm not much of a hiphop dancer even though i admire them so much! but i feel the best when dancing lyrical dances. i feel so complete and at peace LOL ew i sound so weird. but i can' really describe it. the music, the movement, it suits me so well i think. IONO! i just love it. but i love ballet too. my desire to be on pointe for so long. i gotta fulfill it! tina said in berkley they have this ballet company thing. it's not really a company but it's like a program. i would love to do something like that. i know it'll be tiring but how fun would that be!? but again, dance is just a hobby and academics should be first. LOL still, just saying. i would be really sad if i just stopped dancing. i can keep at it though. it's all up to me, right? (: ;dajdaskl iono why but i'm always so excited for the future. i hope i dont miss out on the present because i'm to excited about the future though. but again, that's when i think about mu friends and i know i'm not missing out on anything cause they're all the joy i need! :D hahaha this post is kinda weird LOL i keep contradicting myself and stuff. kinda like talking to myself LOL but blogspot is where i vent and post stuff i like so who cares! (: it's sooo ooo osososoo late. OMg. BUt i can handle it! (; hahah jk, i'm going to sleep now. GOODNIGHT

let's not be robbers, now

"There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft…When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband; rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness."

what makes you you

“I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.”
— Drew Barrymore

I like this quote. i kinda believe this. like no matter what, you may think it's horrible, you make think you'll never laugh about it later but the truth is everything that happens in your life make you who you are now. you may think something like... a breakup is something to mourn and regret but seriously now -.- stop being so overdramatic please LOL! that person who you may or may not talk to now changed you or shaped you to who are are now! take a second and think about it. you know it's true (;

hellll yea

hello romeo & juliet

"Sad thing is, you can still love someone and be wrong for them"

-- Elvis Presley

i was looking at quotes and this came up. funny how this is so true, right? i havn't personally experienced it but through movies, dramas, music, books, and friends you can see this in our world. i gotta say, it's quite heartbreaking.

2010's already here

hello blogspot. i havn't wrote in here for a very long time. or at least it feels like it. /: but winter break has been great! :D i didn't do anything exciting, i just went to people's houses alot and watched alot of movies LOL i also had alot of family time. mhmm. anyways... so over break i finished two bookes "Have A Little Faith" by Mitch Albom and "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks. have a little faith was really inspirational and got me thinking. oh mr. mitch albom, your books always do that... but i seriously love it. i liked how this book was not only about life but about religion. the main character is jewish but the book talks about all religions. so it's actually suitable for everyone! (: then, dear john. oh my oh my oh my oh my. my emotions were flying and bouncing off the walls! it was reeeeeeeeally good. but it's like bittersweet. if you dont want me to ruin it.. maybe you should stop reading this. but in the beginning it's like the cutest sweetest most genuine love. and then it ends so heartbreaking. JOHN AND SAVANNAH ARE FORBIDDEN LOVE. really really really!? nicholas sparks!? are you really gonna do this to your readers? hurting them.. killing our hearts. i was so sad when i got to the last page. i was like wtfreak. this is how it ends? john doesn't marry savannah and build their dream house or take family pictures? ); shosad ): ); I CAN NOT i repeat CAN NOT WAIT to watch the movie! imma watch it with Mo so i dont have to hold back my tears. it's kinda hard for me to do that with a sad movie... and some people... think it's kinda funny if i cry. LOl like.. when we watch the notebook -.- YEA you know who you are LOLOLOLL

okayyy. so wow. 2010 is already here. i still remember my freshman years like it was yesterday. and soon i'm gonna be done with high school. <-- that sounded so cliche. HAHAH but it's kinda true! people only say it alot cause it's true!! no? lol anywayss ANYWAYYYYSS ahah yes. i started chatting and i lost my train of thought. LOL HELLO 2010! i hope you're even better than 2009 ;D i'm eggcited for what the future holds (;

oh, and p.s. i made a new formspring
