2011-12-17T00:41:00.000-08:00

And, that is my favorite song right now.

That is all. Love, JP. (:

Dearest God,

2011-08-07T22:29:00.001-07:00

I just want to write this out to thank You!
There's so many things I can praise You for!
I need to keep track of my blessings so I can bless others!

I'm really marveled at the fact that even though I first started out at CFBC, it didn't just end there. You brought me to Walnut Cell and they bless me so much! I can't go through this christian life alone, so thank You for them!
It's just about been 4 years since I've been saved. I've doubted here and there, but I always come back to You. Thanks for keeping me strong.
Every time I pass by some stranger or look over to see the person in the car beside me, I always wonder what their story is; I wonder if they have met Christ yet. I'm sure every person has an amazing story because You planned it.
Praying. I need to adore You. I need to confess to You. I need to thank You. I need You to supply me with what I need. I need to keep knocking on Your door until You answer it.
Hearing the Gospel never gets old. It's always refreshing to hear it. Imagining Jesus' nailed to the cross gives me this piercing feeling in my heart. I can't even bare to feel that and I know I never will because You saved me from hell.

I love You because You first loved me.

We cherished the memories most during lunch and the yearbook signing party after school.
The freshman in the black & white print is named Alyssa. She's the best. She baked the Halo Halo Hip-Hop seniors cupcakes and brownies Monday. Then, she made us paper graduation flowers on our last day. She's a total sweetheart and a beast at dancing.

Saturday was World of Dance!

2011-03-24T21:32:00.000-07:00

But it's raining here & there!

New updates since my last post:

I've been working on my Spring dance production! It's May 12 & 13
& I am going to be in three pieces! & I decided to announce that I want all of y'all to attend!
& I am telling you now before you make any plans those days (:
I got to attend my sponsor-ee's (Paige's) first youth group!
I got to attend Equip night at my friend's church and I was totally reminded of James 1:2 and God tested me the day after! Many many trials!
I have had two driving lessons! My first time was a bit frustrating, but the second time I drove my instructor did not need to help me steer!
I want to & WILL do a dance project on "Heart of the Matter - India Arie" It's such a beautiful sounding song!
I got to hangout with April & Chelsea; It was spontaneous too! We watched Beastly!
I got to meet some of the members of Emanon! They're amazing dancers if you don't already know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8jfhx1rwlE
We spent our time playing Human Knot, eating pizza, taking pictures, and watch people play DDR!
I worked hard for the Multicultural Assembly with Halo Halo!

I watched the musical Annie at Walnut starring Ej Cabasal & Toni Gallardo! Watch it; three more shows on the 25th & 26th!
God gave me the perfect time to get a tedious assignment done; McDonald's at 7AM in the morning, alone for an hour. Then, I got to hangout with some kids from my lunch table: Audrey, Ana, Jeffrey, & Michael before school started cause it 'twas late start!
I get to know Marvels more and more every week! World of Dance is coming up by the way, April 2nd! I think the tickets are under priced due to the many celebrities and how it is an all day event!

Feb Ends

2011-02-28T22:25:00.000-08:00

What happened this month?

So far, I've had 4 Marvel's practices!
+ dinner @ coconut bay
+ brunch @ chili's
Worked on an English project that took 5 days to complete.
PTL, Full points for all that work!
I wet my bed because I had a dream I went pee.
I threw up twice in the middle of the night.

Other than that, I've had many blessings!
I'm guessing this month wasn't all that great,
but it wasn't bad!
Hopefully March will be better!

Goodbye Feburary, Hello March.

How do I do?

2011-02-11T23:03:00.000-08:00

A new update!

I received 4 A's & 2 B's for the semester!
Had fun getting stuck on railroad tracks
& just jamming in the car!
I made Marvels Dance Company!
I had my first Marvels practice!
I felt like I struggled a lot through it,
but I know God will let me get it down.
I went to Winter Formal with EJ Cabasal!

The quietest place in the Key Club was the elevator!
Dance circles!

But, how am I spiritually?
The Lows:
I've been putting other things and other people before God.
God throws out a lot of signs and opportunities to do things.
I feel obligated to do things.
I feel like if I say I'm doing good,
it'd be a lie because there's always something I'm lacking.
Of course, I'm not perfect.
But, if I say I'm not doing well, I'm being too hard on myself?
The simple yet complicated concept of grace.
I'm still trying to grasp it.
I haven't been reading His word. I haven't been praying.
I feel like I need to depend on those to keep me close to Christ.
I'm losing my knowledge in His word. My heart isn't into talking to Him.
I'm not on fire, I don't desire.

The Goods:
God is still Good, always. Forever.
I still find things to praise Him for.
Reminding myself that Christ died for me makes me step closer towards Him.
I know I'll never leave my faith. This is God's plan.
I don't even deserve anything & God still continually blesses me when I know it's been a while since I've talked to him.

Overall, I think I need people to keep me accountable. No one really has.
I need a good talk to straighten out these thoughts. It's much more than just this.

Marvels Experience

2011-01-30T18:08:00.001-08:00

12:00-12:30 - Dellos Dance Studio. Register for auditions. Get a number. Stretch.
12:30-1:45 - Learn the piece from Jamin Love
1:45-2:00 - Review until Audition time!

2:00-3:20 - Auditions!
4 to 5 random numbers would be called to go to the other studio to audition.
In the current studio, music continually plays for reviewing.
My number, #9, was called for the last group, with only 2 other people auditioning with me.
2 Marvels members danced with us too.
I messed up not only the first time, but the second time.
Michael Bailey's words: "If it's not perfect, we don't want you."

3:25-3:45 - Callbacks.
Again, I was in the last callback group.
&, I did worse than before. Froze.
(since I ended up looking at other people & realized that everyone was doing different moves)

3:50 - All six judges went into the big studio to announce the numbers who made it,
I thought my number wouldn't be called,
I was already standing up and packing my things to leave.
They had already called quite a few numbers.
Then, towards the end: "49... 17... 9... "
They repeated it, and I still didn't want to believe it.
I thought I heard wrong since I was all the way in the back of the room.

3:55 - All Marvels members and numbers called had to go to the next studio.
I walked in and walked up to all the judges at the table to reassure my number was called.
"Yes."

There's a question I'm itching to know.
Why did they choose me?
I don't know, seriously. I messed up so many times.
I was confident I wasn't going to make it.
I was so confident about it, that I tweeted about it.
But, it was all in God's plan!

P.S. I do love that feeling though: when you don't expect something, and then it happens.

Marvels Workshops!

2011-01-23T10:39:00.000-08:00

I took Mark's, Trevor's, & Michael Baileys!
I wish I could have taken Aaron & Tawnya's!

Well, here's Mark's piece.
I love something fierce, funk, and fast!

Here's what I didn't get to take:

I took Trevor's:

Michael Bailey's:

Oh & I didn't know they filmed groups. I realized that I actually didn't dance so bad. So I'll tell ya. I was in the groups 3&4 and then everybody... if you can spot a short haired girl with a white tank & gray sweats

I am so sore right now!
Gotta trust in God!

Update

2011-01-20T22:10:00.001-08:00

I thought of updating at the end of the month, but why not now?
January, so far, has it's slight ups & downs, but the ups beat the downs!
A few things I'd like to share:

Finals are over. And, I have a fresh start!
EJ Cabasal is my friendly date for Winter Formal,
which is going to be held at Hollywood's Key Club!
The former 'monday bible study', this year: Wednesday Bible Study
has been growing week by week!
I'm pretty sure I've made a few new accountability partners
one to help me accomplish my goals for this year
& one to help me with my bible reading!
I got my Learner's Permit,
which I personally thought took some work!
After, choreographing the entire first semester of Advance Dance,
were finally doing something new and innovative: IMPROV!
It's definitely tiring to constantly keep moving without any specific movement.
I really like it though, it helps us to think outside the box!
By the way, I've been watching Live to Dance!
& I really loved Dax & Sarah's swing piece on We No Speak Americano.
I got to be in a very tiny tiny piece of my friend's odd and funny
Mustang Update final.

Here's a recent photo.
I've been taking photos of my outfits lately to remind me not to wear them so often because I know I have enough to last me a month or even longer!

First Time Out This Year

2011-01-08T11:39:00.000-08:00

Who celebrates half-birthdays? We do!
We celebrated Affan Khan's half-birthday
by feasting on shrimp with the whole sha-bang!
& Cajun & Sweet Potato fries!

Spent over an hour waiting to go to the Hari Residence.
Locked out of Michael's room.
Winter Formal talk; maybe I'll go... stag.
resolved a rumor from Freshman year!

Bundles of blessings from Walnut Cell that night!
I'll be meditating on this verse for the week:
Psalms 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need."

The Table

2010-12-27T14:41:00.000-08:00

December 10, 2010; English Springs Park
Who knew I would be part of a senior page in the yearbook?
Who knew I would become friends with these people?
I certainly did not,
but they're fun and nice people who welcomed me to sit at their lunch table!
(:

Winter Wishes

2010-12-10T21:14:00.001-08:00

In all honesty, I never want anyone to go.

So, I don't tell anyone.
So, no one even knows what's going on.
But, when it's opening night,
and I realize that a lot of people I know are going,
and then I see their genuine congratulations,
I realize that I don't think I was so bad after all.
AND THEN, I would have wanted more people to go.

BUT, this isn't even about me, it's all about the big man upstairs.
GOD, thank You for giving me the courage to go on stage.
Thank You for giving me the strength to stay in dance.
Thank You for growing me...
you have no idea how badly I danced sophomore year.

PICTURE CREDITS THANKS TO RJ & ANGELO

I'm very thankful for these ladies!
Melissa & RJ got me fresh flowers
& good ol' burger from In-n-out!

I can't stop dancing, I won't stop dancing!

Well, I hope the spring production will be just as great!

The Autumn Leaves

2010-11-07T16:33:00.000-08:00

& the winds are delightful.

Let's get the rake out, pile those leaves, and play!

I spent my Saturday out and about for 17 hours.
SATs with Kristine Dizon @ WCHS 7AM-1PM
Cocary, Shabu Shabu & Baskin Robins.
Walked to Yogurtland and Yes Plaza.
Spent some time sitting inside a laundry store talking.
Raked leaves with our feet and hands to play with.
Walked to Nijiya Market to buy Seaweed.
Walked to Chipotle for a Chicken Bowl.
Walked to the mall to get Takis.
From the mall to the 280 bus to Angelo's house.
& at Angelo's, we watched Zombieland, made lip syncing videos, watched old videos from back then, and took a nice nap before heading home.
Got that extra hour of sleep to feel refreshed for the next day!

Your blessings revealed

2010-10-31T10:43:00.000-07:00

Ate Helen's wall post:
"let me know what God is doing in your life"
got me thinking.

Instead of me posting just blessings,
I wondered of what everyone else is blessed for.

God most definitely provides.
He answers our prayers.

A. Ross:
"I think God blessed me with an amazing sense of morality that keeps me from doing things that others wouldn’t feel guilty about."

Morality: of right conduct.

I praise God for that as well. I've noticed how I live life, and I am different from others. I guess I do not fall into temptation easily as others. We are suppose to be different. We are not of this world.

B. Yang:
After finally catching the concept of grace my walking through the desert that i was put through for a reason has ended :D and i am very blessed

Grace is wonderful. Everything we have is an undeserved gift from God, especially Christ dying for us. God is always going to teach us something. He's always going to make us grow. We all have struggles and sometimes I think it's the worse it can get, but if God brings me to it, He'll bring me through it.

A. Tran:
God blessed me with the most amazing best friend (: the kind that takes you into their home when you get kicked out of both parents houses

Romans 8:28 - And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
I too am blessed with friends. Sometimes I think I can be alone, but there are people who really care about me; lifting me up and reminding me that God won't give me anything I cannot handle.

P. Montojo:
i had the opportunity to spread the Gospel to someone i loved, and help them understand God's forgiveness, and in the process i learned about His love as well. and i am very blessed (=

Mark 16:15 - And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
Spreading the Gospel is something I struggle it. I never want to push it onto someone. I get scared they would argue with me or would not want to listen. But, I know God wants us to reach out to other people. Who knows, we can save a life.

M. Abiera:
My reality seems unfortunate in my own little ways, but in my sleep He gives me comfort with His messages in my dreams. He assures me love even in my unconscious state. and I am very blessed.

God speaks to us in different ways. He makes us come to realizations.

N. de los Santos:
He gave me the courage to spread His word to my friends, and even though I do get many rejections, He also blesses me with determination to keep on fighting for Him.

Again, the spreading the Gospel! We are to speak seasoned with salt, but ultimately God is the one who plants the seed in someone's life.

Ate A:
God is showing me that He has a plan. He is teaching me to trust Him and rely on Him and not stress. He’s asking me to relinquish all control to Him and stop being a backseat driver. He wants me to just enjoy the ride.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

ayoxlili:
god’s blessed me with the best friends anyone could ask for and the most unselfish, loving parents :)

Family. They're blood. Parents gave us life and roof above our heads, yet we disobey and disrespect them time to time. There are people out there who have never met their parents or have a family at all.

royshay:
Hi god has been placing the right people in my life and showing me he is close and guiding me.

No matter what, when we think that we have no one to run to or when we think no one is there for us, God always is.

jazeltri:
God has blessed me with the best moments of my life.

Memories are a blessing; being able to capture something and remember it for a long time, I just realized how amazing that is. God's creation of our brains, it's so complex!

michiamolauren:
He gives me more perspective each day about life. Like a beautifully crafted puzzle. Awaiting His answer at the end to see if I was right.

Every day is a beautiful day. The sky is beautiful with the sun's rays beaming onto gloomy clouds. (:

Thanks for sharing your blessings!

2010-10-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

to bake!

Looking through Sunday's newspaper,
There's always pages of coupons.
Some for baking.
To start, I'll begin with any ol' regular mixes.
Then, I'll branch out to making some homemade things.

Weather

2010-10-06T16:51:00.001-07:00

is oh so delightful!

(source)
It's autumn, and I'm really digging the weather.
I usually side on the warm side,
but cold weather doesn't come around so often in California.
No windy winds, but nice breezes.
Perfect for hot cocoa in the morning.
Skin tight jeans and boots for the attire.
Sharing umbrellas with friends.
The best time to talk with God; when you're alone & walking home.
Took the bus home today & it felt good having small walk from the bus stop.

Realization

2010-10-03T22:00:00.000-07:00

I just came into the awareness than buttons like these could be of really good use. They can be wonderful earring holders. I've lost so many earrings and I stuck onto using the worn out paper ones they come in. This is such an amazing idea!

(extraordinary products revealed)

I totally just tried on some tights as a cardigan. Super cute! How versatile!

Bulleting my day

2010-09-28T19:49:00.000-07:00

My momma drops me off at school pretty early. I get there around 7AM.
Eat my blueberry bagel.
Mark Carillo comes and we decide to play sweet and sour.
Everyone was sour and gave us bad looks. I just wanted to be sweet and say goodmorning to some fellow students & I'm NOT being sarcastic.
2 hours of English: Grammar OA, did a Poem analysis, and read Macbeth.
After, Bryan & I tried to say hi to random people, but everyone was sour again.
When random people say hi to me, I actually say hi back!
Enrichment/Block: Advance Dance. Practiced some of our moves to show my groups assignment tomorrow. & watched Mustang Update.
2 hours of Spanish 3: I fell asleep reviewing for the test. Took the test and then watched E.T.!
Lunch: Simple Faith meeting = Praise & Worship. I forgot the first song, but the other two were Everlasting God and I Stand In Awe. I noticed a lot of the people were sitting down, kinda contradicts when we started singing "I stand I stand in awe of you" haha. Then, we prayed with each other after.
2 hours of Economics: Took the test. Then Jason out of nowhere moves the desk in front of me to sit next to me so he could use my book to do homework. Watched Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
Went home and found a bajillion ants in my freezer.

My tummy tingles

2010-09-16T22:51:00.000-07:00

with nervousness? I'm not quite sure.
I just know it has to do with dancing.
Right now, I feel so completely discouraged and uninspired.
I feel like people view me as someone who thinks she's good, but she's really not.
I feel like I've lost any sense of creativity and originality.
I was really challenged this week, and I did not think outside the box.
I don't know, I've even considered dropping Advance Dance, but I wont.
I really have to push myself to go through this class full of talented girls.
I'm starting to doubt if I even dance well at all.
All this negativity on me is not good. I need a good talk with God.

be happy be happy be happy

2010-08-19T20:45:00.001-07:00

no matter what.
I want to make other people's happiness before mine.
I want people to be happy because I seem happy.
I don't want people to ever think I'm down.
I want to be smiling all the time.

I want to be happy inside & out.

Revive

Greg Laurie

New believers bible.
I plan on reading some of it,
and when an opportunity comes,
I plan on giving it.

Big blessing to see people come to Christ.
Some of the things Greg Laurie said that I noted:

Stop running from Him and start running to Him.
Devil wants steal kill and destroy.
Jesus did not say follow my followers, He said to follow Him.
Hell is not made for people. It was made for the devil and his angels.
Heaven is not for good people, it's for forgiven people.

After, I saw protesters outside the stadium with signs that said "God caused 9-11" "Laurie Leads to Hell" Really made me go whoa, wth. First time to see actual stuff like that.
Ate at The Hat. Shared Chilli Cheese Fries & an Orange Bang with Kristine.

Reflection

2010-08-03T23:18:00.001-07:00

Today, I went to VBS without my parent's approval.
I learned about why God allows evil. He allows evil to display three things.

Sovereignty
Goodness
Mercy

God allows suffering in this world so that good can come out of it.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. -Romans 8:28

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. -Romans 5:3-5

When you go through obstacles, God tests your faith, and you grow from these obstacles.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. -James 1:2-4

Well, I have to say that, although I sinned today, God planned that to happen. He called me to come to VBS today to hear His word. I doubt that I will be coming back tomorrow or any other day of this week, so just now I read up on Thursday's VBS reading. I'm not going to go into detail since I would spoil it for those folks who go to VBS.

Basically, I finally got to do some devotions. It wasn't any normal devotion where I lay in bed and read His word and just meditate on it. I went onto my rooftop, I looked at His creation. I looked at the stars in the sky. And, I actually prayed. I talked to God. It gave me butterflies and I felt like crying because it feels like it's been so long since I've really talked to Him. I poured my heart to Him. I've been becoming comfortable with sin for so long, and I haven't done anything about it. And, when an opportunity of sin came right as I was done praying, I was tempted, but I didn't let myself fall.

Thank You, Lord.

I LOVE KATHLEEN

2010-08-03T16:39:00.000-07:00

Persevere with Consistency

2010-07-15T21:22:00.000-07:00

Spent my night with Melissa & RJ at Dellos Dance Studio.
Came early and chilled in an open studio.
Heard some loud noises and found out it was thunder.

There's a girl who's in 8th grade & she started dancing last year & she's in Company now.
Whoa, she can already do 4 pirouettes and 16 fouettes.

Took Hip Hop & Jazz with Miss Angela who happens to be on Glee!
We danced to Feelin Myself by Dolla in Hip Hop.
Then, stretching & technique in Jazz.

I feel comfortable in her Jazz class, but I know I won't grow much from it.
"If you're comfortable, you're not growing" -Neil Grecia
I know I'll always be consistent in Hip Hop,
but I really want to dance well in Jazz; especially all the leaps & turns.
So, I hope to take at least one Jazz class per month during the school year.
And, maybe try to take one per week.

RJ motivates me, but at the same time she un-motivates me, haha!
She's just so good that I want to keep going and going.
But, she's just so good, makes me doubt if I can ever be able to do those things.
& I know she has God on her side the whole time,
And, that is even more encouraging!

Dance Practicing

2010-07-14T23:06:00.001-07:00

Saw Mitchell.
Saw Ariel & Adrian.
Thanks Kevin for the ride home!

"Props to people that can do Contemporary dancing. That ish is hard! Too many spins and jumps! I really want to learn how to do this dance well!"
via (kevpatrick)

Yes, Jazz, Lyrial, Contemporary, Ballet; It's hard.
I've never really appreciated it until I started learning it.
I honestly think it makes me sweat like no other kind of dance.
It takes technique, it takes flexibility.
You can't just listen to beats, you have to feel the music.

I want to continue learning and growing from theses kinds of dances.
It makes me go "Whoa, I want to be able to do that!"

Small Party

2010-07-13T22:39:00.001-07:00

Things are always planned the day of.
Picked up Kathleen & Paige.
Joey came over.
Kathleen & Joey went swimming.
Paige & I didn't because we're on our periods.
Jezzy came and bought us cheeseburgers from Aloha.
We watched The Proposal, and then Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince.
Alex, Brian, Kevin, & Ronnel came over.
Then, Bryan came over.
We all talked about our feelings beside the pool.
Then, we watched Never Back Down.
Everyone slowly left.
G'day!

Just a few hours

2010-07-12T23:55:00.001-07:00

..that were spent with friends felt so much longer.
Kathleen came over, and we left to go to the Torres's house.

Got there, and listened to them talk about basketball.

We watched the speed stacking girl.

Subway with Mark & Paige. And, Paige made me order for her -.-

We went on Chat Roulette and met a really cool girl.

Since it's past 12AM, HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY!

We took 2 hours figuring out who was going,
where we were going, and when we were going.
It was April, Jan, Kristine, Ron, Santi, Tiffany, and me!
We drove towards Venice Beach, but we ended up at Santa Monica.
We took forever going in circles trying to find each other and find Venice.
It's really cloudy, and rain starts pouring.
April & Ron gave Kristine a piggy back ride because her slippers broke.
I bought her slippers, and they were cute too!

We watched this guy, Mr. Animation.
He just got out of Prison.
He realized that he has a 10 year old daughter.
He is sober from Cocaine.
And, he got on the show America's Got Talent.

He pulled me up front.
He said he needed someone black, white, asian, and mexican.

We walked around the boardwalk.
Saw so many homeless people.
So many people trying to make money.
One day, we have to go back and pack them sack lunches!

So much art in this place!

We saw a two headed turtle!

We left for Universal City Walk.
My Gosh, we always go to the right direction last minute!
We first needed to eat.
Ate at Pink's Hot Dogs.
Kristine & I shared a messy Pastrami Burrito Dog.
We walked around.
We stopped at the floor fountain?
Santi walks through, and then Ron walks and slips.
They were laughing forever!
Saw so many interesting things.
Yogurtland.
Watched someone fly and float in this tube.
Then, headed home.

Once again, Happy Birthday!
Glad you had a good day!
Glad to be going new places this summer!

Despicable Me

2010-07-10T00:13:00.001-07:00

I spent my Friday watching Despicable Me
with Angela, April, Bien, James, Jan, Margiel, Raffy, Ron, & Santi.
I would have laughed and liked the movie more if I had someone to laugh with.
After, we went to Santi's house.

That's all.

Odd

2010-07-08T22:56:00.001-07:00

Whenever I end up doing my nails, it's always late at night.
Found something around my room to stencil some art.
Really messy, but I like the pattern.

Tuesday & Wednesday

2010-07-07T21:40:00.000-07:00

I did nothing but stay home on Monday.

Tuesday

Margiel & Kathleen coming over & bringing me boba
Watching God of Study
Margiel slipping on my floor
Margiel zooming in on my iPad
"knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things"
Ice cream talks
OMGPOP

Wednesday

Souplantation with Kathleen & Paige
Lifeway Christian Store
Kathleen bought a book
We watched Degrassi at my house
Earthquake; Paige & I went crazy. "We have to tweet!"
Witness Practice!

Kathleen bought this book!

Everything was so cheap.
Regular price: $49.99
Sale: $9.99
Too bad I didn't have money.

California Science Center

2010-07-04T21:54:00.001-07:00

Go there!
It's free and really interesting!

I got to talk to Kristine with this thing!

The Polar room. It's like a see-saw to make waves.

The desert room. This turtle was shy; wouldn't come out of the cave.

Baby, there's a shark in the water.

Oh, barnacle!

Fish that go around in circles.

I'm really loving the view.

Jellyfish are so beautiful.

I'm starting to fall in love with sea creatures.

Leaving to visit Angela at Coldstone.

Left my bag in Ron's car.

And, this is what happens.

Later, we watched Hot Tub Time Machine at Jan's house.

Spent forever playing the Impossible game on my iPad; going crazy.

Kristine needed to use the restroom so I went with her. When we got out, no one was inside the house. We got scared and stayed in one place. We heard tapping and the door was slightly open. Raffy opened the door and scared us. That was so thrilling, I loved it.

Then, when April, James, Jan, & Ron came back. Kristine and I sang and danced for Ron so he could take us home. HARD WORK MENG.

Webcam pictures

2010-07-04T21:39:00.001-07:00

from Thursday:

I honestly used to try to be pretty when making a silly face.
I don't care anymore!
I love being UGLY!

Thursday & Friday

2010-07-03T00:48:00.000-07:00

Since, I've been out all week, I spent Thursday at home.
But, I had some company: JKMK!

On Friday, I went to Ron's house and then went to James' brother's house, only to find out that he was already there and that the surprise was a fail.
I watched people swim and I got wet.
Ate a lot of food.
Good conversations.
Charades
April & I had to make them say "tu madre"; Gail said it last minute (:
Good day & thanks for the ride friend!

Eclipse & Dellos

2010-07-01T10:57:00.000-07:00

Picked up Kristine & April to watch Eclipse @ 2 with Ron & Santi
Thankful it's a weekday & summer, so the tickets were $2 less
Favorite line: "Right now, I'm Switzerland."
So many close up make out scenes -.-
Most of the funny parts came from Taylor Lautner
"Do you think Edward just got really fat?"
After, saw Josh Gillard :D
Bought an Almond Pretzel & went home

Dellos Dance Studio with RJ & Melissa for free classes!
Jazz 1-2 with Miss Pauli, hurtful stretching but we didn't have to do anything across the floor, we just did a dance
After, Melissa & I were looking through the window of Miss Jazzy's class, and she told us to take it since it's free. We asked her what class it was and she was like "Jazz.. 1.. 2.. 3.." Well, we took it anyway; much easier than Miss Pauli's. We did across the floors, but they were easy and we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. Then, we learned a dance using Fashionista by Jimmy James.
Now, I have 2 bruises. One on each knee.

Later, Kathleen & Paige showed up at my house.
Tried to do the cup beat while sing to Billionaire
Danced and sang to the Education Connection commercial
Watched the SLYMsWitnesses videos to listen to the background talking

Santa Monica Beach

2010-06-25T23:31:00.000-07:00

99 cents store to meet up and buy extra food
Ron's car with April, Kathleen, and Margiel
Looked at other people in their cars
Kathleen screams and throws her hands up in the air and falls on me
"Let's go next to them and act like were having so much fun!"
Spent half an hour in the parking lot playing concentration
subject: birds. Margiel: crocodile.
subject: tv shows. Kathleen: avatar, the last ayyyyyyerbender
We laugh so much Kathleen just gets out of the car and walks away
Not a lot of time in the water, just looking at clams and crabs
Eat and listen and watch Margiel dance
Pier
Car ride back: "-Saliva- Don't look at me". = Christina Aguilera's Beautiful.
Mcdonald's, then Santi's house
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

Honestly, not a big fan of the beach, but anything just to see God's creation.

More Pictures from h2 dinner!

2010-06-24T23:56:00.000-07:00

Swimming, Not Really

2010-06-23T23:26:00.000-07:00

Ron & Jan picked me up and I didn't even have time to shower.

We went to Toys R Us to search for water guns and inflatable pool toys.
Got some soakers that reach a pretty far distance.
With also a "buy one get one 50%". Good Deal.
Then, we went to Albertsons to get an inflatable pool hoop.
Inflated them, and chilled at Ron's house eating cup noodles.

Santi came, and we left to get Margiel & Raffy.
Went to April's house to realize that the ball for the hoop wasn't there.
They drove off to get food and buy a ball.
We went to the swimming pool area,
but we walked out to buy food and boba at Dolphin Bay.

Came back, sitting in the shade
watching people swim,
and then a suffering bee layed before us.
We watched it squiggle.
Then, I went to go wash my oily hair in April's bathroom.
I left my wallet at Dolphin Bay so Kristine accompanied me to get it.

Then, we came back to eat spam and eggs.
We watched Silent Hill, and I fell asleep through the end.

Thanks Santi for dropping me off at St. Lorenzo.
Got to see all the SLYM kids again.
We learned Bryan's piece which was cute and quick to learn.

Mcdonalds.
Lawrence: Who's Andrew Bynum? I heard he's popular.
-everyone just stares-
Then, we went to the Torres's house to watch Orphan.

BTW, check the side bar to see my calender.
And, to see when & when not to make plans with me.

Thanks Kristine for pictures!

CLEAN.

Senior's last day!

2010-05-27T20:40:00.000-07:00

Saw so many tears on people's faces today!

Daniel Lozada; Obviously the best dancer of 2010! H2 will miss you!

Kristen Reyes (:

Chrystle Vita; Karate kid!

A mirror picture with this California girl.

"I can be so vain."

Loved the talks and stories with this sophmore, Carmina Portea. It's almost to the end where we won't have dance class together, where we won't spend long minutes by the stair case telling each other about our lives.

PTL though for everything.
I had "courage" today.
Life just gets tougher and tougher.
But, I'll grow from all the trials.

An Interesting Find

2010-05-26T19:43:00.001-07:00

This painting isn't on Canvas.
It is the works of Alexa Meade on human flesh.
Look at what is God's gift to her!

Last monday of the school year.

2010-05-24T16:29:00.000-07:00

Weekend

2010-05-23T21:51:00.000-07:00

SATURDAY

Dance practice from 8-10AM.
Then, April picked me up. We went to Ron's house and then I got picked up from my parents. Went to PHM to watch Shrek 4. "Do the roar!"
Then, chilled at Ron's house talking about his hair and tumblr.

TODAY
Call time 9AM.
Freestyling & grooving.
After 10:30 mass was the skit performace.
Neil's youth group after.
Yay My Life.

Alexa!

Witnesses.

If I just Realize

2010-05-21T22:20:00.000-07:00

I realized that everyone struggles. We may think we may doing the worst, but there's someone who goes through just about as bad or even worse.
I've been comparing myself to someone. I need to realize that Christ is perfect and we should strive to be more like Him and no one else.
In all seriousness, I just want to be nice. I hate joking around too much to the point where I could hurt people's feelings. No more joking?

Other than that,

In Ronnel's car with Kevin, Kathleen, & Paige. Hair going everywhere!
OTW, to Class 302 to meet up with Vincent, Tanya, Alex, & Clarisse.

Paige looks cross-eyed!

Vincent will now be known as Dale, haha!

"If I were a girl, I'd chase after squirrels."
Had the song Cooler Than Me stuck in my head all day.
Adventured through 99 Ranch.
Kevin drove to St. Lorenzo.
Skit performance.
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool.

Who's there?

2010-05-17T19:16:00.000-07:00

God is always there; again, I say.
Because, He truly is!
Not only that, but He has everlasting love for us.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:37-39

Other than that,
I love this video.
Don't be fooled, these girls are only seven years old.

ALWAYS PRAY

2010-05-16T19:11:00.000-07:00

Monica led Youth Group.

And, she taught us about prayer.
God answers all our prayers.
He is ALWAYS there for us.

So, please Lord, help me to be consistent in prayer.

Afterwards, we all ate out at Kingswood.
Then, skit practice.

Paige Montojo Day

2010-05-15T23:31:00.000-07:00

Sponsored my twin at confirmation!

I haven't hung out with Raffy in a while.

Paige & Kaysee.

Ronnel asked Paige to Prom.

Paige's family is so cute.

Her parents are so nice!

Beasted it with these people at Buca Di Beppo.
HILARIOUS conversations!

As a confirmation gift, I gave Paige a book. Fearless by Max Lucado.

Watched Boy Meets World & fell asleep to Family Guy.
Intense suspense watching Chopped, and then Paige accidentally changes the channel.
We went to West Covina Mall in search of a prom dress.
Nothing.

Cosmic Bowling in West Covina with Mark Carillo, Adrienne, Mark Mungcal, Angeli, Amanda, Andrew, Ciara, Michael, Paige, Mikha, Paul & Randy.

I suck at bowling.
But, I saw Ariel, Agatha, & Jason.
Played in the arcade; driving & DDR.
I let Paul borrow my battery, but he wouldn't give it back.
Fast food restaurants are not open at night!
But, good day (:

Other than that,
PTL, I had a virus on my computer,
and after shutting it off multiple times,
it seems like the virus disappeared.
What a miracle!
It definitely made me realize how much time I spend on the computer.
It made me realize how much time I spend on God.
Well, that was God speaking to me!

Also, I went to Yumi Song for the first time today.
Made me realize that I gotta let God take control.
Don't let sin take over me!

Get Ready

2010-05-12T18:13:00.000-07:00

I had 2 video projects shown today:

my Spanish cooking video with Nigel
and, my history project on the 80's with Gail.

I curled my hair in the early morning.
&, I tried to do an up-do in 6th period.

Dance Production dress rehearsal was today.

I felt like the only one paying attention when we needed to go on stage.
Fail on curtain call.

Carmina Portea; during dress rehearsal. More pictures later!

Home. Got Chipotle.
Call from Angelo Cueto.
Picked up. $1 drink & lollicup!

Errands

2010-05-11T19:37:00.000-07:00

Simple Faith:

Be joyous in the Lord.
Accountability is important.
Have that intimacy with Christ.
God only matters.

Today,
I went from CVS to Barnes&Nobes to Dollar Tree.
(;

C'mon Barbie, let's go party!
Scared for dance production.
Timing is the biggest problem.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

2010-05-10T18:47:00.000-07:00

He is -- years old.

Today;

In Monday Bible Study, I realized that life is short.
You never know when God plans for you to leave earth.
& It's important that we are all ready.
Live everyday as if it's your last.
Don't wait to accept Christ as your Savior when you're done having fun.

because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. -Romans 10:9

I had tech rehearsal for Dance Production today.
Made me feel discouraged,
Our class being the only beg/int. class in the theater,
with the adv & dance team.

Just got to Praise the Lord no matter what.
PTL, because I get an extra cute surprise at the end of the dance.

P.S. I love having conversations with people that I'm only acquainted with.
It feels nice when someone you haven't talk to or don't normally talk to
goes up to you and just starts talking.

Countdown
24 days until summer
17 days left of school

Happy Mother's Day!

Me & Gail worked on our history project: fashion of the 1980's!

Started on a smoothie.

Contains strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and bananas.

Add milk.

After devouring a cup, I grabbed what was left.

Other than that,
What is God teaching me?
PTL, for Ate Aarika for calling me.
It made me examine myself.
thoughts;
I can't just say...
I know I need to do something to make me have a better relationship with Christ.
I need to apply it.
I've been praying more often.
&, I think it's time for me to read some scripture.

zealous - adj. intensely devoted
I want that fire burning faith.
Light that fire.
Don't ever let it die.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all
circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Confessions

2010-05-06T20:45:00.000-07:00

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that
you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and
effective. -James 5:16

No one is.

Everyone has struggles. Everyone sins.
No need to hide that everything is dandy.
Don't sugar coat anything.
With brothers & sisters in Christ,
we need to know how one another is doing.
So we can "pray for each other"
&
...if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. -Galations 6:1-2

Do you look forward to growing up?

2010-05-05T19:04:00.000-07:00

Yes and no.

Yes. I want to be independent. I want to be free. I want to drive.

No. Being an adult isn't easy. Life just gets hard as you grow. I'll have more responsibilities.
"You don't realize what you have until it's gone"
want want want.
It's not about me, it's about G-O-D.
I desire to grow up praising His name forever.

WDYWT
Today, I fell asleep in every class.
And, I got really bored at home, so I decided to play with makeup.

Tuesdays are Always Good

2010-05-04T15:46:00.000-07:00

Prayer before school.

Thanks Fiona Cheng for telling me about it!
Simple Faith. Small Groups.
"Hate the sin. Love the sinner."

Other than that, I really do love dancing.
I get discouraged sometimes. Some people have it easy; naturally.
But, life isn't meant to be easy.
Do I even dance well at all?
I want to continue dancing in the hopes of improving.
RJ's blog was an encouragement though!
I'm still young. I've got time.

God's creation

2010-05-02T17:52:00.000-07:00

And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day -Genesis 1:11-13
