OH HEEEEEEEEY, IT'S CHRISTINE'S 21st BIRTHDAAAAAAAY :D <3

Boots --- CHECK! :)

I went shopping with ma momma and sister Savannah yesterday for a list of miscellaneous things between the three of us and got two things that I've been searching for all summer long!!!! :) Of course, as all Oregonian college students would agree, having a pair of rainboots is a MUST, especially down in Corvallis where we walk around in the rain ALL the time x__x That was one thing on my list. The second thing was a nice pair of black boots that I could wear when I dress up or to wear to make something casual look a little nicer ^^ I GOT THOSE TOO!!!



This is the thing. This is why I am so happy. I GOT BOTH FOR ABOUT 40 DOLLAHS TOTAL. XD The rainboots were 12-something (cuz of the buy-one-get-one 1/2 off sale at Payless) and the black ones from Ross were 22! :)

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT GIRLS' NIGHT, LADIES!!!! The last one was so freakin' fun. I laughed SO much :) UNTIL NEXT TIME THEN. Woooord. B]

Things are lookin' up :)

Lots of stuff coming up. Lots of stuff = lots of things to keep me busy! :) I think the fact that everyone else is busy makes me feel really unproductive and I get a lot more time to be pondering about life and stuff, if y'all know what I mean. hehh ^^;

Sooo no car wash this Saturday! Bummerrrrr. BUT maybe later on this month fo sho. STEP UP 3D is coming out Friday I'm so stoked! Christine are you coming up at all this weekend?!? Come join us to watch it if ya are?! :))

I've been runnnnning! :) So happeh. I think I need to try to resort to exercising when I get stressed otherwise I'll sleep. No bueno. Especially come SCHOOL time, ya know?! CHRISTIIIIINE, HOW DO YA DOOOO EEET?! T.T lol

Michelle! We must save moneh! If we're moving, just the two of us, into a new apt next year, we gotta save up so we can pay the rent ;D

Siiiigh. Lotsta deal with this year with our apartment. I really hope things work out..


ENJOY YOUR WEEK, LADIES! <3

hey

World of Dance was pretty cool, ain't gonna lie. ^^ Thank you, Christine, for being my date! haha Michelle and John, y'all are weird and funneh as always XD and oooolaaalaaaaaa for Alex and Lisa eh?! teeheee. I just uploaded all the pictures onto my computer so they'll be up on facebook or something soon ok? As well as the rest of the videos! Oh and Christine! I won't upload the picture of you sleeping ^^; ...we'll look back on it and laugh in a couple years. Cough cough

I dunno where else to talk about stuff so.....I think I'll just do it here, yeah?

I been kinda down lately. I dunno whyy...just feel kinda left out / forgotten about, I guess. Not by you guys!!!!!!...kinda by my sister and Cindy and Richard and Gordon....sometimes I feel like they'll wanna hang out, but because I'm Gordon's gf, they HAVE to invite me. It's come down to the point where I don't wanna really hang with them anymore. There's a camping trip planned mid-August for all of the couples or whateverr but I honestly don't feel like going.

I'll admit.....I'm having crazy thoughts. It's not just that stuff I just mentioned....I've been down, in general, about a lot. Every little thing is making me hate myself and I kinda wanna leave this place.

I'm sorry that y'all had to hear about this. But I didn't know where else to go.

I love you both. Thank you for always being there for meeee.

My rice bowl of life has been sitting out too long... -__-;

HOLY SCHMOLY, HAS IT BEEN AWHILE OR HAS IT BEEN AWHILE O____O;

Hello lady bloggahs ^^; TIS SUMMAH BEFORE JUNIOR YEEEEAR NOW :) I really can't believe how fast college is passing by......and it was soooo sad how RARELY I took pictures this year when sooooo many awesome things happened T.T One goal for this coming year: TAKE HECKA MORE PICTURES/VIDEOS. B]

== UPDATE TIIIIIME ==

First thing on the list: JOB HUNTING
I've definitely given up on that, for the summer. I figure, since I have one for the coming school year...I won't worry about it so much this summer but NEXT summer, I'll start looking earlier before summer gets close AND maybe even consider working down in Corvallis if it's necessary :o SO LONG AS I FIND A JOB!!!!! ^^;

Second thing on the list: COLLEGE AND CAREER
So....as you guys know, I've recently decided on becoming a teacher in the future.. After talking to several aunts and uncles and my parents lately, I'm in a pickle again. Ok, it's more serious than just a pickle but still.......I think I might need to switch again T.T THE THING IS.....I think i'm gonna try my best to switch to something that won't make the credits I've taken already go to waste....... To be honest, I wanna be a teacher because I like to help people. I wanted to work with kids because I believe that that's something I'd really love to do for a long time.... But now, I realize that that career choice isn't the best idea right now with the economy and all :( Now i have to talk to people like advisers or something to see what I can turn to next. I considered going to be one of those people who go to third world countries to teach...but the pay isn't that great I don't think =____=; My friend Ernest is always telling me: "You should do something you want to do, without thinking about the money all the time....if you do something you love, the money will just come..." But I can't seem to believe that, nor would my parents agree if I just picked something because I like it...... Yeah, so all in all, I think I'm in a serious dilemma. I need to make a decision soon too. -siiiiiiiiiiiigh-

Third thing on the list: ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS (if you will..hehh)
I've talked to Michelle a bit about this already, buuuuuut....just to update you Christine..... I am currently on a break with G. Both of us are really busy with our own lives I guess and haven't really been able to keep in touch with one another so to relieve some stress we decided to take a break. I don't know how long this one will be......but............I am certain that I don't wanna rush back into anything too soon. I figure, maybe some distance and separation will allow us to see how much we really do love each other....if not.......show us how well we might just be friends? :/ I really don't know at this point whether or not we'll be together again in the future but, I'm just hoping for the best. (....woulda been four years on Wednesday.......)

Fourth thing on the list: SUMMAH PLANS
To be honest....nothing huuuuuge is planned for me this summer. Initially, Pauline and I had the option of going to Australia with my dad and brother, but by the looks of it now, I don't think we can anymore =___= I have work training mid-September so that means I'd only be able to stay in Australia for a couple of weeks at the most and come back....NOT worth the expensive plane ticket I guess.....SO ANOTHER TIME! We will go... T.T
I'm letting spontaneous activities with friends and family fill up my summer...which I am definitely looking forward to :) Still gotta go shopping with you awesome ladies for Michelle's 20th Birthday present! ^^ I am exciiiiited for that! :D And John and Alex's birthday is coming up....we oughta plan something for that toooo! Michelle suggested BULWINKLE'S!!!!!! XD

Fifth thing on the list: MUSIC/DANCE/MOVIES
Holy my cow, heeeeecka awesome songs have popped into my life recently XD Not sure where to start but maybe I'll list a few for you guys :)
- "I Go Crazy" by Huey ft. Colby O'Donis
- "I'll Be in the Sky" by B.o.B.
- "Winner" by Jamie Foxx ft. T.I. and Justin Timberlake
Daaaancing-wise: I've recently become obsessed with the C-Walk and wanting to learn it >:D Haven't started yet, but I think.....to get a lil exercise into my summer tooo.....this will be my goal by the end of summer: TO LEARN TO C-WALK. XDXDXD Maybe if we sesh some time this school year I can show y'all? :D
MOVIES noooow: ECLIPSE WAS BOMB!!!! KARATE WAS FLIPPIN' AWESOME!!! Next on the list: Toy Story 3!!!!! After that....guys....you know........HARRY POTTER 7!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!! Since it comes out in November, maybe we can all go watch the premiere in Corvallis?! Or not...could just be on a random day after the premiere too. Teeheeee~ XD


Aiyaaaaa I don't know what else to write. How about this be all for now and uh..if I have some kinda random urge to write in here again..I will ;)

Thanks Michelle Lee for reminding me that I even had a blog! Hehhh ^^; I bet my rice got cold. Sad. hahahaa :)


MISS YOU GUYS! <3>

[[ powerpuff girls uniiiite! ]]

SOMEWHAT successful Girls' Night ;D

7:00 PM to 5:00 AM !!!
Boo yeah. We partied til da break of dawn. B]
....except it wasn't really cuz....well....didn't see the sun before bed or anything...but yeah..you know.... ^^;
WHOO PARTAYYY!! hahahaa ;D


The "astonishing/spiders/dirteh/beep" (description to be explained latah B]) night began with the purchase of Girls' Night necessities such as dinner supplies and baking goods (notice the bold on BAKING GOODS). Thank you Michelle and Christine for enduring the Corvallis transit system in order to get the grub ^^d


Once Cindy arrived, we all agreed that NONE of us were really hungry (even though I shoulda been...hadn't eaten anything aside from Ruffles in the morning o_O) so we postponed making dinnah. OH EM GEEEEE the next part was exciting. We were all on our individual laptops for a good hour and something XD Christine brilliantly suggested that we stop and turn off the laptops at approximately 8:00 PM.....but that did not work out ^^; The majority of us got off by 8:15 though...so not bad B]


NEXT!!! DINNER PREP AND COOKING :D
Michelle stayed on her computer for important school business.....so we didn't bug her for it...ish.... XD Christine and Cindy took care of da MACARONI noodles while I sizzled the bacon pieces that Christine chopped up :D. THAT'S RIGHT. We had macaroni and cheese with bacon bits on top. HOLY DANG IT WAS DELIIIIICIOUS >w<>


BAKING WAS AFTAH DINNAHHHH!
Michelle was oh so kind enough to do ALL the dishes (there were a LOT). PROPS to Michelle "Noob" Lee!!!!! ;] Cindy prepped the peanut butter cookie mix and Christine got to stirrin'!! :D We didn't have a big bowl though, so it was a bit tough. But Christine managed to get them mixed PRETTY well!! As all of this was going on, I was oiling/buttering the pans for the cookies. UNFORTUNATELY I spilled a bunch of oil into a stove -_____-;; I suck. ANYway, this was the beginning of quite a few mishaps during the night lol!

We rolled the peanut butter batter into little balls and made two batches of cookies. In the middle of this, what I thought was THE GRUDGE BOY ran toward the kitchen window and scared the graham crackers outta me T.T I literally teared up after cuz I was so scared. It was Tommy coming from Rithya and Sokho's =___= Anywho: we forgot to go back to the first batch of cookies so they ended up being a bit hard and overcooked but NO WORRAYYY....we gave most of them to the boys downstairs >=]. The second batch was PERFECT. Soft, chewy, peanut buttery deliciousness right thurrr. Jeez. XD MIIIILK TOO OF COURSE! :]

Brownies were the next dessert to make. GO CHRISTINE!! :D Although the batter for it turned out a bit watery (due to the fact that we didn't have actual measuring cups and used a coffee mug to "guess-timate" the water and oil and got too much -__-), we poured it into two pans and put them in the oven, hoping for the best ^^Y I set the alarm on my phone and we went off to start the girls' night bit of the Girls' Night ;] If ya know what I meeeean... B]


WAXING!!!
Oh man oh man....that waxing machine and the accompanying equipment did wonders to our armp----underarms. o_O It was my first time witnessing and experiencing it!!! RIDICULOUSLY and awesomely effective stuff I tell ya.. XD I even got to pull a strip off on my own (for Michelle ^^). So cool cuz I didn't mess up! Wheeee! The wax took forever to warm up though, we kinda forgot to plug it in beforehand...like HECKA beforehand lol. During this waxing portion of the evening, we tried starting a movie called "Flushed Away" but we couldn't pay attention so we turned it off to watch latahh. Wise decision lol we were so focused on these "surgical operations" it seemed like >w<>


And then there were NAILS....... <3
Cindy had some amazing gadgets and gizmos for this portion of the night, (not saying that the stuff for the waxing wasn't already impressive....). Removal of any old nail polish on toes and fingers was the first step. NEXT we got to use some exfoliating cream-ness for our feet and hands and such...it was AWESOME. We actually did everything for our feet first, then we moved to our hands. I went all out this time, with the encouragement of everyone else of course..shoooot I was gonna go with a neutral color on my fingers...what did I end up with? SHIMMERING BRIGHT MAGENTA PINK! :D whooo X] Cuz of the cream stuff, ma hands feel HECKA soft todayyy. Too bad Gordon isn't around for me to hold hands with him ;___; lol By 1:00 AM or so we finally finished!!! :] As I was changing though...I messed up my thumb nail T.T just my luck, lemme tell ya. =___=


GETTING READY FOR BEDDD
We got ready. Did the whole dealio. Washed off makeup, washed face, brushed teeth..........little did we know........there was still a long night ahead of us.. B]


TALKING/CHIT-CHATTING part of Girls' Night :]
We talked about raaaandom things that just came up ^^ After just a little bit we all started going giggle-crazy. Michelle was going into her I-am-lacking-sleep-so-I-am-going-crazy Phase @_@ LMBO None of us could stop laughing...we laughed at the littlest things too hahahahahhhaaa oh man. Cindy became a broken geisha somehow and always came home from work to her husband...Christine lol I was married to Michelle and according to her, I fell for the way she let down her hair. BAHAHAHA! XD We listened to music and yes......MADE MUSIC VIDEOS. X] We were that hyper. A craving for a batch of brownies also came up so we ate some...WITH MIIIILK ONCE AGAIN OF COURSE!!! :D

We also made a video introducing ourselves XD Cindy as "Snob"; Christine as "Slob"; Michelle as "Noob"; and me as "Snoot"!! When Michelle went around with her camera, she asked all of us to describe the night in one word;
Cindy honestly replied, "ASTONISHING" XD
Due to the fact that we caught two HUGE spiders not too long before this, I said "SPIDERS." x_X
Christine said "DIRTEH" prolly cuz there were quite a bit of dirty jokes insinuated into our conversations XD
And Michelle said "BEEP"....leaving it to everyone's imaginations as to what she really thought of the night. Bahahhaa ^^

By 5:00 AM this morning we all finally konked out. Surprisingly, I was able to wake up at 9 AM today. hehheee



WHATTA GIIIIIRLS' NIIIIIGHT IT WAS <3 !!

CUZ I CANNNNN !! >=]

HAPPY 19th BiRTHDAY CHRiSTiNE KiEU!!
