Lakefair Princess, Birthday Party, and the End of the World.

To start off, I am absolutely shocked that I am Black Hill's Lakefair Princess Representative. Thank you for all the support and whether I make it farther past this point or not, I feel blessed with this wonderful opportunity. I have not felt this much support for something and I just want to thank you everyone!

Lately, life has been a roller coaster for me. I dropped the concerto competition due to not being prepared which was an extremely difficult decision for me since I hate quitting. I couldn't do it anymore without feeling overwhelmed everyday but congrats and major props to my brother for doing so well at it! On the bright side, I got to focus on my voice recital which turned out wonderfully. Who wouldn't want to sing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with their best friend, Ethan Platter? By the way, thanks to Madi for coming out to watch it :).



We got some delicious Menchie's afterwards for the first time, too! 


In terms of musical news, I'm a featured dancer in Joesph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! Though... I don't dance... I also got to play at Top Foods to help raise money for OMTA :). It was mucho fun and I felt like one of those pianists at fancy establishments! Except this was at Top Foods...


Hmmm... What to talk about next. I guess I can talk about my birthday party next! I wasn't planning on having one but there would be way too many people but then I thought FUGITIVES. I never played and I really wanted to! A lot of people dropped out because it was a busy weekend, or their parents felt it was too dangerous. The turn out was still good though and I had a ton of fun! Thank you everyone who came out! I got so emotional knowing that so many people are there in my life and I can call them my friends. Everyone had lots of fun which makes me happy :). Also, thank you for the gifts! The destination for fugitives was from my house to Brewery City Pizza so that's where we ate dinner. It was pouring at some parts of the game, and I felt so bad for the fugitives (I was a driver since so many people dropped out). Then afterwards, a few of the folks went to my house for some after party fun! In other words, Just Dance 4 on the kinect :)). There were a bajillion photos taken by Ha-Yoon but I'll just post my favesies.


















According to a ton of interesting people in the world, in exactly 50 minutes, the world will end. My question is, why worry about one day that someone claims that we will all die. I'm pretty sure the Mayans did not have the intention of saying the world will end tomorrow. Regardless, the other day, Mrs. Alviar made a wonderful point. Everyday, someone's life is ending and it is the end of the world for them. We should just live our lives and show love to our loved ones. Sure, there are people in the world that put us down sometimes or hurt us but it should not mean that they don't need love either. Whether you love them or not, you shouldn't be showing them hate. As I type this, I realize that I need to apply this to my life and forgive the certain people in my life who have hurt me badly these past few days. I guess now it's time for me to go tell people how much they mean to me. :) Goodnight, everyone. I love you all!
