WRONG TIME TO BE SICK. i have indi coming up & I DO NOT WANT TO BE SICK FOR THAT! aaaaaargh. well, i haven't done much beside... TODAY WAS A SNOW DAY! :D well, not much to say, so byeaa.

i 'less than three' shopping.

2011-01-03T19:08:00.000-08:00

would you like to know what that means? it's a heart. well, in symbols. it won't let me show it, (which is why i've been on the computer previewing, redoing, deleting, stressing out, & more.) which made me delete the whole post, which now i have to RE-TYPE THE WHOLE DARN THING! anyhow, always the tricker. i don't know what that means, but it sounded intelligent. back to the v.i.s. (very important subject) SHOPPING. i la la la LOVE shopping! even ask my mom! especially for shoes! :D this time i went with my sister & todd.

imagine:

there we are, driving to todd's, jammin' to 94.1, 98.5, 106.3, & 106.9. (FM of course.) we pull up to todd's driveway & erika goes in to use todd's computer & we are off to westroads. after finding a parking spot, we enter "dick's sporting goods" & walk through, while deciding if we should eat, or go shopping first. as we exit the sports store, we stumble upon jcpenney's. that's where erika said they probably have a good selection of belts. (what todd came with us for.) we go in, totally clueless of the layout of the store, so we wander around, passing all the toddler through young children boys & girls clothes, & other stuff. we find an escalator, contemplating if we should go on it. we decide to, & sure enough, there are like 400 belts. we look for a while & finally find a reversible (i think.) belt. we checkout & head outside of the store, once again not sure if we should eat or do some more shopping. while walking we see "victoria's secret/pink" which was one of the shops i wanted to go to, to see if they had yoga pants & perfume. no luck there, but i did see a cute zip up sweater. *cough* MOM *cough*. after exiting that store, we see the food court, so we decide to go there & eat before we do more shopping. todd got burger king, & erika & i got sarku japan. while eating, we discuss about where to go to next & erika asked me if i wanted to go to oakview, & of course i said yes. erika then asks todd if he would like to come with & he said no, & erika asks why & he says 'because i'll get dragged into victoria's secret.' har har. we then finish eating & go to erika's store "forever 21" & she does a power-shop. after done with looking, she went & tried on the clothes & checked out & we left. we decided there was nothing left at westroads for us to do, so we left westroads altogether & were on our way to drop todd off. back in the car we jam to 94.1, 98.5, 106.3, & 106.9 again. after a little bit of driving, we pulled up to todd's driveway & he left. we then were on our way to oakview! once there we walked through "dillard's" & out to american eagle to get some jeggings for my mom. she wants to try them, since my sister & i love them so so so so much. :) after checking out, we walked to the "victoria's secret/pink" at oakview. once again, we did not have any luck with finding some yoga pants, but i did get a 'flashdance' sweater & perfume. after checking out & leaving there, it was off to hot topic to get some wristbands. having walked out with 4 wristbands, i'd say that was successful. at the last minute i remembered that i had to get my friend a gift for her birthday, so we went to aeropostale. on our way out, i wanted to try some eye shadow, but my sister said she had some, so i didn't get any, but we did try some on me. after that we left oakview, having had a successful trip & getting everything we needed. on the way home we jammed to the same stations. THE END. :)

so that shopping trip took up my whole day, & my mom was cooking my sister & dad their birthday dinner, swedissssh meatballsss & funnnfetti cake! so i just listened to some more music in my room. we then ate our dinner & i have some photos (for the first time... EVAR.). :)

here is the funfetti cake (notice the cute candles my mom found):

here is my sister 'blowing' the candles (she is sick so she couldn't for real.):

here is my dad blowing out the candles for real & his head blocking erika in the photo:

christmas cleaning!

2011-01-02T13:24:00.000-08:00

guess what we did today? :P we cleaned up most of our christmas decorations. they are gorgeous up, but not so gorgeous when being brought down. as much as i love seeing the garland and red ribbons & christmas trees, i thought, is all this work really worth it? YES!! it sure is :) ever seen how pretty the house is when it's lit up? it makes my day! so why even think of questioning myself? well... i don't really know. i just thought that putting that sentence up made me sound pretty intelligent. don'tcha think? i cannot believe it's already 2011. it JUST NOW hit me. how quickly 2010 came & went. on a sad note, my friend's grandpa died new year's day, so if you could just send a quick prayer to help them feel better. his funeral is coming up & i've been supporting her throughout these past two days. thank you so very much!

WELCOME 2011! :)

last day in mexico, how sad :(

2010-12-30T17:59:00.000-08:00

today is our last full day in mexico. we did a lot of things; spa, swimming, tanning, shopping, eating. i'd say it was pretty sucessful! i also read my mom's older & newest posts on her blog. everyday since-oh idk for sure when, sometime in this trip-i have read them. they are very interesting, even though i know my mom pretty well. this way i get to know her even more :) i love you mommy! anyhoo..., i will miss cancun immensely, and all the times we have shared-especially on the beach. we went to cancun palace-different resort than where we are currently- and it was MUY(very) busy! as my sister would call it, waikiki times ten! i'm definately glad we are not staying there. although-as i said before-i will miss cancun, it will be MUY(very) nice to sleep in MY OWN BED! i have slept on the rollaway bed in our el hotel(hotel) for the past FIVE NIGHTS! whew! AND! i hit my head on the counter on my second night. it was MUY(very) bad! and hurt MUY(very) bad also!... i still have a tender bump on mi cabeza(my head) :-(. i got a deluxe mani-pedi hoy en dia(today). with the deluxe i got my arms, legs, hands, and feet massaged! aaahhhh :) life is gooood! right now my mom and i are both blogging and my dad and brother are out mini-golfing, so what's left is what are my sister and todd up to? well, they are pretty much on a date at the moon palace sunrise eating some oriental food. i am going to add a few fun gadgets if i find some, so be on the lookout! well, HASTA LUEGO MI AMIGOS! :D

thinnking :)

2010-12-11T16:57:00.000-08:00

thinking... thinking... thinking... about my blog. i'm not sure if i want to cancel my older posts because they are useless. i remember, like, everything from that trip to korea :) so i'm not suuuure. i will probably keep them, but i think it makes it look messy. oh well! watching Northwest Missouri State University vs. University of Minnesota Duluth. byee now :)

how i feel about this trip, and what ive done in the past few days.... if i can remember

2009-07-01T06:34:00.000-07:00

so i feel that korea is very loving and caring, kind, and also very umm... how do you say it kind of like very religious or um i cant think of it right now but in the past few days ive visited jeonju, busan, and gwangju (where i was born), and daejon. in jeonju there was an orphanage, that was the place where we donated all the gifts that my friends gave to me. and all my friends that went to my party and donated those gifts, thank you so very much! in busan i went to the awesome beach and thats when i went to gwangju (where i was born) there i met the social worker who named me at the hospital i was born at and i went to the place my birth mother stayed at. it was the unwed mothers shelter. the mothers that were there made me jewelry that was very pretty and very nice of them. then in busan i just stayed at the hotel. we also traveled to daejon, where i did a home stay which it was a long car ride to daejon then a long car ride to the mother's house and the bedroom was very hot and humid, so i get motion sickness very easily and so i got sick and i had to go to the hotel there. but the mother was awfully nice and i was very sad when i had to go :( but today we took a ktx (a very fast train) it goes 300 km per hour! then i came back to the hamilton in seoul. yay! we went to the chongdong theatre to see a musical called miso it was very loud with all the drums but it was pretty fun and cool. tomorrow i will go to mapo district and ilsan, in mapo district all the adoptees become honorary citizens of korea. in ilsan i will visit harry and bertha holt's gravesite. and all the special needs kids and adults. so thats about all i think..... :) but byebye!

um probably more random stuff about korea....

2009-06-26T05:50:00.000-07:00

okay! so today we went to the largest tower in the world (yes, it is the LARGEST IN THE WORLD) it is called the seoul tower, and that is a very boring name for THE LARGEST TOWER IN THE WORLD! but it is really cool. we also went to the largest open market, it had the most awesomest stuff there were tshirts and pants, pajamas, underwear, and there were butt bras, it was really funny, and they also had jewelry, and make up boxes, and shoes, purses, bags, hair acessories, make up, food, socks, that is all i can think of right now but it was ginormous! i loved it! thats about all we did today, so tomorrow we are going to a orpanage (called jeonjoo) to play with babies and little kids, then we leave for a home stay in daejeon (which is a city) . thats about all i know so um goodbye now! =D

um stuff in korea

2009-06-24T05:44:00.000-07:00

hello everyone! i am so sorry i havent gotten to blog lately, but i am soo busy with all the touring and other things. so in the past two days it has been hectic, i mean we toured the korean folk village today, and yesterday we had a long flight and a long ride to our hotel. we are staying at the hamilton, which is very nice, but it all it has been KRAZY! (see how i used a "k" instead of a "c" because it has been that crazy) so anywho i did go shopping but i am still waiting to meet my moms vender, she always says' "wait until we see my vender!" so it better be pretty good if ive had to pass one thing after another. i am sorry i have no pictures yet but i have no time! as i told you before it has been KRAZY! and it also takes a while to upload them but i will post some soon. tomorrow we are going to see the mayor and meet my foster mother! that will be fun and exciting! it doesnt seem like im in korea, i feel like im just on another trip somewhere, but then im shopping and some korean lady, speaking in korean, comes up to me saying things and im like "ookay umm uh huh goodbye now" haha... its not that funny its just weird. but time to go. so i will blog soon! thanks for waiting patiently for me im sorry again that i havent blogged for a while but got to go! bye! =D

the airport

2009-06-22T03:52:00.000-07:00

this is the part that isnt so much fun. airports. i do get motion sick very easily in cars, airplanes, and boats. but the fun part is you get to places faster, and you can do a lot of things on an airplane. now ive never been in an international plane before but im very excited to see how humongous it is! i am in the omaha airport right now, it isnt very fun but we are going to denver, from there we are going to seattle, after we are there its off to korea! we had to wake up at three inthe morning...ugh...but thats okay i guess we are all dressed in these cool tshirts that paul,the tour leader, made us! there will be 42 people in our group traveling to korea! wow! well that is all i have to say for now so.

chao for now! (hehe)

Post from last night...stunt camp

2009-06-17T19:07:00.000-07:00

so today i had stunt camp. i really love and loath stunt camp. i love it because i enjoy learning new things and stunts. i loath it because of all the hits and falls that go around, but its totally worth it. so back to korea i am soooooo pumped to just walk in and be like omg! im actually halfway across the world, away form all my friends, the thrill is just wonderful i bet!
