The GORGEOUS and BEAUTIFUL Columbia River







The vacation with the family, Ivan's family, Cindy, Mika, Mely, and their mom... It wasn't exactly... fun. The two brats and their mom ruined it for everyone. Terrible public tantrums... ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, there were some good moments. Like how we got to see Eastern Washington! It's quite beautiful and gorgeous. The hotel Pheasant Hill is FANTASTIC. We get free amazing breakfast :). I got new boots and pants from Macy's! Silverwood was okay. The lines were too long to do anything :(. Some obnoxious kid kept hitting on me in a line with Andy to the Ricochet Rapids and eugh. Oddly enough, I got to see Hunter and Tracy at Silverwood... hahahaha We went on Tremors together! Sort of. We waited in line together for it... It was also Cindy's birthday the day we went to Silverwood! So happy belated birthday, Cindy! On the way back, we went to Manito Park and stopped by the beautiful Columbia River. :) Right now, I'm reading P.S. I Love You. Almost done with Driver's Ed. I had a downtown drive today and then an emergency drive Friday. Then FINALLY the final drive on Tuesday. Then school on Wednesday... WHAT THE HECK. I NEED A BREAK :(.
Picture from the wedding I went to that I don't think I blogged about , but I don't know the bride or groom so I don't really care.

HP TouchPad!

I got an HP TouchPad on that huge sale thing as a super early birthday present! LOVING IT. I managed to get Facebook chat to work on it too. I feel so smart. hahahaha Also, I finished the Hunger Game series. PEETA! I've also rubbed my ankles raw from Cross Country with those stupid stretchy bands :(. On the bright side, I'm getting toned! :) Spokane tmrw! WOOT. I'm so out of it right now. It's 11:38 P.M. DON'T JUDGE.

A daily dose of music is good for the soul.

The joys of music. Music is such an amazing thing in life. I feel so cliche and cheesy saying that. Music really is a fantastic thing. It can make you happy, comfort you, help you relax, and is always there for you when you need it. I love music. :)
Here's some songs I am in love with right now:
3 Rounds and a Sound- Blind Pilot (LOVE LOVE THIS SONG)
Packing Blankets- Eels
Skylark- Arrah and the Ferns
Mushaboom-Feist
Untitled- Simple Plan (Listened to this song in driver's ed and it made me want to cry)

Off topic: Hunger games has been so good. I've heard the last book wasn't as good as the others, but I'm still liking it. I'm for sure going to Silverwood on Sunday! We're leaving for Spokane on Saturday morning and I'll be driving... Yikes!

Cross Country!

Oh my goodness! Who knew cross country was so fun! :) I've met so many new people and am getting to that athletic body I want! hahah! Slowly, but surely. I'm so out of shape compared to everyone else, but that's okay. I'll work up to their level! Today, we went to Kennydale! It was so amazingly fun. We played Ship-Island-Volcano and then jumped into the water! After that, the girls and I rode in the back up Levi's pick up truck. It was fun! I don't know how many times I've said fun, but it was! There's three things I've never done until today. Went to Kennydale, hopped a fence, and rode in the back of a truck.

Saturday Night.

Hmmmmm... Updating time! I hate driver's ed with a burning passion. I hate driving. I hate stress. I hate homework. I hate summer assignments. I hate tests. I hate quizzes. I hate watching the same episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse over and over again thanks to Karina. I hate the song How To Love by Lil Wayne. I hate being so busy. I hate being out of shape. I hate a lot of things. On the bright side, I got lace tights, a new planner, a lace dress, a black tshirt, and even more tights today at the Supermall! Also, today is Uncle Hai's bday! Karina has as much love for Pooh Bear as I do and we were watching pooh bear videos for like an hour yesterday on youtube. Tennis camps is over! It was fun, but it was adding to the whole stress and busyness. I've been rereading Harry Potter ( I don't know if I've said this already or not, but I'm too lazy to check...) and it's SO CUTE. <3 I now own all the Hunger Game books thanks to amazon. Chyeah! I'm gonna go to Silverwood on the 26th! :) Yesterday, we had that choir thing mabobber and afterwards, Liza, Kyle and I got limeberry! I think that's about it...?

Seaside!

Yesterday 19 family members and I went to Seaside! We played soccer-monkey in the middle, went into the freezing water, played volleyball, went bumper car-ing, and shopping at an outlet. Yayy! We also went to DQ for ice cream! Hmmm, the day was actually a lot more fun than I'm making it, but I am so out of it.

I love blogging.

Yay! It's FRIDAY! It's been such a long week! Tennis camp, running, and biking. Yes! I said biking. Andy got a new bike so I'm just jacking it until I get Uncle Hai's old crappy bike :). My butt currently hurts from the seat because I'm not used to it. I also went driving today! FIRST TIME. It was so stressful. Dad was actually surprised I was pretty good. We went out driving for 2 hours in a church parking lot and around Olympia and Tumwater. Dad made me go on 45 mph roads at night and I was stressing! It's so fast! hahaha I got pulled over at one of those roads! The cop thought I was drunk, but we told him it was my first time driving and he was surprised because he said then I was doing really good! Yay! :D When he pulled us over, Dad said to stop... Not stop right, so I stopped in the middle of the road... hahahahhaa It was hilarious. Everyone's so proud of my driving skills :). I'm really happy! Oh yeah, on Wednesday, I kidnapped someone. hahahaha Sort of. And and and, there was a little boy at tennis camp who said thank you to me at the end of camp one day because I taught him how to serve and EEEK! It made my day! Also, I LOVE SPOTIFY. KINA GRANNIS GAVE ME AN INVITE. <3 I got my friends to use it too! I think that's pretty much my week so far... Going to Seaside tmrw! Yay!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE SPOTIFY. Which encourages me to do the ten songs I enjoy right now!
Samson-Regina Spektor (heard this in the car with Liza, Lauren, and Davis on her CD then found it on Spotify out of coincidence!)
Skylark- Arrah & the Ferns
Nantes- Beirut
We Could Love- Alex Goot
World In Front of Me- Kina Grannis
Not Fair- Lily Allen
So Weightless- David Choi
Together-Kina Grannis
White Blank Page- Mumford & Sons

Fujiyama with the Familia!

Yesterday was quite the day! Went to the first day of driver's ed and I pretty much don't know anyone, but Spencer. I do not enjoy my class, they're all so annoying and preppy. Then I went home for lunch, played Rockband with Ivan and Andy, and then went to a choir rehearsal for the community thing next week. Kyliekins, Liza, Brittney, Nicole, Brianna, and Shailee are the only ones doing it besides me.. We're singing Scarborough Fair and How Can I Keep From Singing. Then afterwards, went to tennis camps with Kyle to coach! At the end of the day, we went to Grandma's house so we could all go to Fujiyama! It was really fun :). The cook/chef/whatever you call him was really funny and was the most energetic out of all of them! We all had a good time and what not! :D. Well, except Karina... She got scared. hahahaha
