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

HAPPY 19th BiRTHDAY CHRiSTiNE KiEU!!

YESTERDAYYY, I worked out-ish. :]
My aunt showed us her giant, pink, rubber work-out ball yesterday, for the first time. My sisters, my aunt, Mr. A, and I all tried it out...not exactly using it for what it's supposed to be used for...but we did play games like "WHO CAN STAY ON THE BALL THE LONGEST!" or like.. "HOW MANY PUSHUPS CAN YOU DO?!" or even.. "BACK-TO-BACK AROUND THE BALL..TRY TO STAND!" bahahhaa so fun so fun. Mr. A later on tried teaching us how to break dance too. It was AWESOME. B]

Later that night, at like.....10, when the sky was a cerulean blue color..we all went to Reedville Park to play football :D It was a loooootta fun. Got bit twice (maybe thrice) by bugs though. Grrrr. Oh well. It was worth it......? ^^


HOPE YOUR WEEKENDS ARE GOING AWESOME-LY. <3

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

FREEEEEAKIN' APPLE SAUCE YO.

I can't believe that movie was as awesome as it waaaas. XD I've read the story, but oh man...who knew it'd still surprise me here and there. I guess that'd make sense since I actually haven't read it since 2-3 years ago. -__- STILL!!!!

I'm in such a good mood today, just cuz I liked da movie. =]



I still have to read the last book! Snap! ><
Can't wait til the last movie(s). ^^
(Apparently, the 7th movie is gonna be split into two...so yeah.. O_O)

Freakin' Fun Fourth of Fuly. XD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GOOOOORDON!! :D

I woke up this morning expecting to see Gordon just for like ten minutes today, when he stopped buy to drop off my wallet (cuz the day before I left it in his car... ^^;). I was planning to surprise him with my gift too. BUUUUT my mom was being all nice and told me I could go out to eat with him!! WHEEEE!! XD I was so happy.

Gordon came and we left to go back to his house to pick up his brother, Richard, and best friend, Kaz. Gordon got a call from a family friend (my family's friend as well ^^) saying that there'd be a BBQ today in Tigard...that he and his brother should go. SO WE ALL DID!! =D Expecting to stay there for like...an hour...we ended up staying there til like 8:30. We got there at...4-something. >w<

We chatted and said hello to ppl we hadn't seen or talked to in foreverrrr :]
It was awesome. They recognized me and everything toooo, (a couple thought I was the youngest of the 3 daughters though, and I was like nawww, I'm the oldest one. XD) Hmm..then the food was ready!!! I HAD THE BOMBEST STEAK LIKE..EVER. Lol it was sooo delicious. Homemade Russian bread was there too; salad; chips and salsa; shrimp; corn; BBQ chicken... DELICIOUS FOOD. =D

After that we kinda chilled again and talked to the kids around our age and below..even played some foosball. Gordon beat me, but when he and Kaz played Kaz beat him. ^^Y

((I know I'm rambling on details y'all might not care about, but it's good for me cuz then I'll remember one of the best fourths I've ever had. ^^ You can stop reading if you wanna. hehee))

WATERBALLOONS WAS THE NEXT BIG THING. Lol a couple between Gordon, Kaz, and Richard were being thrown. But then the little kids got involved and the Chen brothers were under attack. XD Trinity, the two boys, a little girl..Tiffany and Macy...everyone was attack the Chen brothers XD It was hiiiiilarious. I was just always caught in the crossfire. =P A few adults joined in as well, using mini-sprtizer bottles even..and two hoses. >w<>

NEXT WAS A WATERMELON EATING CONTEST!! We all stood around two big long tables with our hands behind our backs and a slice of watermelon in front of us. At the count of three ppl began to eat their slices using nothing but their mouths =D I lost...got maybe 3rd place though? Macy won first and got 10 dollahs... Richard kept pushing Kaz ahhahaha and in the end even switched slices with him cuz Kaz was tooootally in the lead XD but yeah..so fun so fun.

CHERRY SEED BASKETBALL!! lol everyone had to spit the seeds into a bucket that was like..5 feet away.. It was actually pretty hard. We each got three shots. Kaz amazingly got 3/3. I got 0/3. Gordon doesn't like cherries so didn't choose to participate. Richard got maybe 2/3? 1/3? lol.. but yeah.. Winner of that one got 5 bucks. It was Kaz fo shooo. B]

Next game that was played was charades! Trinity, a little girl, went up and played out a 4-word phrase. Macy guessed it and got 2 dollars. It was "Happy fourth of July" :D Next a little boy went up and acted out one word...he kept doing diving motions...then his uncle, Sonny, went and helped him by doing a volleyball motion.. Gordon, although already having guessed the wrong answer and getting sprayed at with a hose (cuz that's what wrong guesses gotcha..) shouted out BEACH BEACH!!! and it was my turn to guess...cheatingly, I said beach. I won 2 bucks. I didn't want it though cuz I know it wasn't faaaaair!!! lol but no one would take the money from me. ToT

Because everyone knew it was Gordon's birthday, he had to stand up and stand in the middle of the yard...turned around. About seven ppl stood behind him in a line, including myself.. The game was for him to guess who was giving him the massage. Trinity went up first and gave him a VERY FIRM massage apparently. Gordon turned around and guessed Kaz. XD WRONGGGG. lol then I went up next and gave him one.. Sonny was like, "You better get this one right man.." -__- TOOOTALLY gave it away. Lol. Gordon guessed me. haha. THENNNN Sonny told Gordon to turn around again and little did Gordon know, Tiffany and Macy carried a GIANT green bucket of water behind him and DUMPED IT. "Happy birthday Gordon!!!" lol

Trinity later brought out a "cake" for him too. It was a chocolate cookie with a mini-scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, with a single candle in it. We all sang happy birthday and Gordon made a wish. He asked for a knife to cut the little thing...lol but in the end just ate it himself. ^^

I think this was one of the best birthday he's ever had. Usually his family is off celebrating the 4th of July with his step-mom's side of the family...so he never gets anything big. But today...I could tell. He was really, truly happy :]
...that's probably a reason why this was one of the best fourths for me. <3




Hope you guys had an enjoyable 4th of July as well. Whether it was hecka eventful or just chill and relaxing...... Hope it was memorable.

Fall term's gonna murder me :(

S.O.S.
..please. TT.TT

I've been told to not overload myself each term...but fall term HAS to be this jam packed.... Ugh, a teeny-tiny bit of me DOES believe that I can do it..however most of me feels that my procrastination habit will attack and disable me from studying hard every night. ARRRRGH.

Will you guys help me (even a wittle biiit..) stay on task next year? Just ask and I'll help you guys do the same...I just need to buckle down fall term. Hope I can keep up with everything else...FLIPPIN!!!! VSA OFFICER-ING TOO. Aiya-yaaaaa. O_O;;



Sorry. This was definitely a VENTING blog. -__-

Spring term is over, guys. It's a relief. But at the same time, I kinda wish I could go back and actually accomplish more of my goals. ;_;

I'm sorry Michelle! I told you I'd post every week......I haven't. =/
Maybe since it's summertime we'll have more time to do this?! I like blogging. I either forget about it sometimes or I don't know what to talk about so I choose not to though -____-;
I'll try harder.
