a story behind each person

Some are sadder than others.

Meh, dislike this picture. :P I bet you can't even tell what's happening. But I drew it for a contest and there will be an explanation thing attached so oh well.

Oregon: Mt. Ashland

Instead of going to Tahoe or Reno this year like everyone else, my family decided to drive a bit further to Ashland, on the border of Oregon and California. Where it actually snowed. (ha, in your face.)

Me and my brother the beginner noobs.

My dad the pro.

Ski lifts! :D

asasdfsdf school

Homework.

Projects.

Tests.

Please excuse messy handwriting; its hard to maintain neatness when tired, frustrated and about to spontaneously combust.

Just Some Thoughts

SCHOOL.

Its coming.

Its here.

Oregon and Washington

We visited Oregon another time and we still aren't disappointed. The first three days we stayed in a beautiful beach house and explored the wonders of nature, admiring the wonder of the ocean and beaches, while my brother tried to fish. "Tried" being the key word.

My brother trying to fish.

Crabbing! Unfortunately, the undersized and the female population of crabs disagree.

Our house was small but comfy; the rooms were quiet and very fitting for a beach house.

My brother and father walking to a beach. Can you guess which is which? What's a seaside vacation without a beautiful sunset?

The next three days, we visited Seattle, and discovered city-life. [next post]

SF

This has been an extremely busy weekend, full of preparation for summer camp, and travelling. We went to Berkley in search of a crepe store that we hold dear in our memories... we eventually found it and were well rewarded.

At San Francisco, where my summer school would take place, my mom and I were scoping out the place before orientation and came across a cool sushi place.

Waterpark Art

I made it to the final four for an art contest for our local waterpark. The winners get to paint their creations onto concrete tables at the park.

The weather decided to be fine until I started painting. Suddenly the wind picked up and tormented my and my hat for the rest of the day. :

Turkeys...what?

A few weeks ago, while driving up towards the hills, I noticed some wild turkeys. Okay, that's nice. That is, until they teleported onto our roof one evening.

And I started taking some pictures when it struck me. They be turkeys. Turkeys on roof. Roof above ground. Turkeys don't fly.

I was trolled.

And my pictures aren't that great.

Yes, I know I messed up the face.

You mad?

Work In Progress

Can you guess who it is? ;3

Bread~

My friend gave me a bread keychain that smelled like a bread, because it fell off of her backpack.

On the same day, there was the same type of bread on the table~

And I ate it. The bread, not the keychain, of course. x)

Etsy~~Happy Mama Soap

This is me and my mom's etsy shop.

Christmas Morning~~

MERRY CHRISTMASSSSS~~~

We didn't have a tree, so I painted one.


The best part of Christmas is definitely the presents. :) And look! My tree is there. x) Except this time the presents aren't under the tree; its the opposite. It also happens to be my dad's birthday, so we also got to eat cake~ Then, for the rest of the day I wished my friends a merry christmas over facebook, and play wii games with my brother until we got into a fight over choosing the games. :P


Random Fact: Where did the term 'X-mas' originate from? In Greek, the letter 'X' (chi) is the first letter of Christ and has been used as an abbreviation for Christ for a while. Thus... X-mas!

Christmas Eve

It is Christmas Eve! :) The presents have been exchanged, the work done, and a feeling of completeness settles upon the night.

The family sits down around the table and plays a long round of Monopoly. And the one to rake in all the riches... was me. :)
The neighbors brought over a sugar-free chocolate cake, like every year. It was delicious.

New Soap

This new soap may seem plain, but inside is Molasses, Goat Milk and Honey. A strange concoction, but all are natural and good for the skin.

Also, check out me and my mom's new set-up Etsy account, Happy Mama Soap! Link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HappyMamaSoap?ref=pr_shop

Its pretty simple right now, with only one item for sale. >.> But hopefully it'll be up and running soon.

Rain...

It's cold, its cloudy and its raining.

:P Wasn't able to run today because of the weather.

Updates on my life

Yeah... Lately I've been busy/procrastinating. A few updates:

XC (Cross-Country... CROSS, get it?) ended in November. D: But my friends and I still run together when we feel like it, though its more like jog and talking. xD

My mom's soap business got a jump start last weekend when I finally stopped procrastinating on creating an Etsy account, taking pictures, etc, etc. We're still setting up the financial transactions and all, but its all good.

Monta Vista Invitational

My first cross country race! :O Naturally, I was one of the last.
It was a two mile race that ran up a steep mountain. My time was 19 minutes.

I GOT MAH CELLPHONE! 8D

And its awesome. :D
