Kimono Photo Shoot:

Tonight i wanted some pictures in my kimono so alex was nice enough to take some for me (thank you alex) i really like how the pictures came out :)

Kimono i made last night:

So these arent the best pictures of it, but i figured its close enough lol there will prob be a photo shoot or something :p today i watched the 2001 Super Summers demo of Mr. Campos and Mr. Brown doing the blind golfer skit. Oh...My...God it was hilarious i couldnt stop laughing haha i loved it. i was looking up zen  do kai katas (so i can continue learning my training and not forget my katas) and i came across the video, so funny! :)

Curtain i bought

I drew this dragon with paint markers, i used the dragon pattern to match my black chinese fan

Whats New:

So my sissy had to draw a picture for her art class and this is what she drew!!!! OMG its incredible i love it sooo much! i told her to make a photo copy for me i want it lol shes also going to sketch me some new pics for my room too lol (alex romeo is next to me nagging me to put him in my blog so there . . . . he is now mentioned :/ ) anyways yesterday my family and i went to church and are deciding to become more involved again. . .i didnt realize how much i really missed it. me and alex are going to cross current again (a teen group) and im volunteering to help with the little kids church and some camp thing that they do for 6 weeks straight that helps little kids who dont go to church and have really bad home lives. so im really excited about that. i got two new weapons yesterday too, and i made a kimono out of a curtain (post pics later today) it looks really cool lol  (Halloween costume for this year, its an excuse to get to carry around a weapon lol)

Day at School:

So like 90% of today of school has been in the library today (1st, 2nd, 4th, lunch, 10th, and 11th period) O.O  Mr. Hunkins hasn't been at school for 3 days so i have to go to the library to eat lunch :( i miss the band room, and i miss Mr. Hunkins, i can't wait to see him on Monday. I signed up to donate blood next Friday which im NOT looking forward to -_- ...i cant stand needles, but oh well. Alex and Aimee were with me today a the library for a bit too. . .we look over and Alex is typing fiercely with a creepy face and a blank screen. . .(she worries me alot sometimes lol) im excited for the college trip on tuesday though :) 

Alex today in the library. . .

My "logo" that Daykota made me just cause she was bored lol i have it for my email picture now

Dinner Tonight:

For tonight's dinner me and alex wanted something that was sweet and spicy, and on rice. so i soaked some tofu in a sauce of pineapple juice, chili powder, hot pepper seeds, honey, pepper, and salt. Then i cooked the tofu in a pan until it was brown, and in a separate pan i poured the sauce in with pineapple, and mango chunks and added about 3 or 4 tablespoons of confectioners sugar to thicken the sauce. It was REALLY good! (unless you dont like pineapple lol) but we love pineapple, and it totally hit the spot tonight. ive been cooking and baking all night from 3:30 to now 9:00  O_O  i had to bake stuff for school project tomorrow in English -_- which for some reason, it was a total nightmare trying to cook tonight! and the dish pile didnt stop ether! not the most enjoyable experience ive had lol 

Today was Rocktober auditions but Mr. Lincoln's not letting people who aren't in chorus sign up -.- he is for June Rocks, but not Rocktober, im a little upset about that. i was looking forward to trying out again. but oh well, i will for June Rocks right? ive been debating whether or not to try out for the musical. . .im conflicted because i want to really badly, but id have to take off alot of time from work, and i need money for alot of things, college, me and aimee's apartment, my $510 IB classes, my jazz band trip this year to Cedar Point, summer martial arts camps, weapons, etc. etc. etc. lol so like i said, torn on what i should do in that situation. even if im not in the musical, i plan on doing something behind the scenes this year again though. I had a meeting with my guidance counselor today, so she can track my progress on college searching and stuff. she was surprised cause im already ahead of where im supposed to be right now, i have my 2 narrowed down colleges, which im deff going to next year i just have to decide which one, i know my majors and picking out the minors, i have the dates of the open houses so mom and i can check the colleges out, im signed up to take the SAT's a second time (i know ill get an awesome score this time) me and aimee are looking at apartments (well im looking and telling her the options lol) i am soooooooo excited. im not nervous anymore, i always feel better when i have a plan about the future, and im sorta prepared. i know you cant be totally prepared for what it will bring, but i like to feel secure in the idea that i will be ok lol this year is flying right by, its really weird to think this is my last year of highschool. . .its both a relieving and depressing thought lol i will deff miss some of the simple things of highschool, like being in the band room talking and playing with Mr. Hunkins during my free periods (lunch, and study hall, and any time i need a "band lesson" lol) he will be missed dearly by me. . .he's a mentor for me and a close friend, i couldnt imagine going through my highschool years without him. or Senor Boyle speaking like 80% spanish in home room, and having club music pounding with a strobe light trying to make us all "lively and awake" while im struggling to keep my head up so i can drink my coffee and pass aimee notes. . .no one should be that awake in the morning O_O lol he means alot to me too, i can remember when i had finally beaten him at chess (which ive only done once out of like a hundred games lol) i freaked out with joy! it was the last day of school on my sophomore year, and we chilled in Senor's room all day long "skipping classes", and aimee video taped us all doing stupid stuff. . .me spinning in chairs for example lmao oh well i can keep going on and on, but i should prob stop and go to bed soon ;p 

Day With the Family:

Today was alot of fun! we all went to church with the family and then after we went to the Lobster House for lunch. Gavin and Ian ran around the table and kept throwing a birthday hat and lays around people at the table, celebrating Uncle Jeremy's early birthday (which is on Friday). after that we went to our house so they could see how it is, and my cousins seemed to love my wall of weapons (they are huge into ninjas and the show Ninjago. Grandma bought them nunchaku, samuri swords, and ninja outfits from the dollar store the other day). i got to show them all what you do with each of the weapon and then let them try the weapons out (with my eye on them all of course). . .  Ian (the oldest) grabs the fans and bo staff, Sawer (the middle one) grabs the kali sticks and foam nunchaku. . .and the youngest named Gavin grabs the real sais and sharp kamas which are the most dangerous other than my 3 section bo  -_- . . .you can imagine how paranoid i was with him and those LOL i tried handing him a fan or foam nunchaku and he shakes his head no and looks upset, so when he held the kamas i told him to have them facing the ground and i "fought" him with kali sticks to keep my eye on him so he didnt hurt himself with them and i made him only hold one sai at a time cause them were so big and heavy. LOL we also had a 3 versus 1 weapons match (me against all of them coming after me with weapons) my personal choice was the bo staff, kali sticks and fans cause it was easier to fend all of them off with two non-sharp weapons so i didnt hurt them ;p after a couple hours of weapons they wanted to have some hand to hand combat (time to take out the sparring gear!) the boys wore Alex and mine sparring gear and we did "point" sparring. they're pretty good, they beat me so many times! i only won 1 match and barely! ;) hehe they are quite the young martial artists, and have alot of skill. i had sooooo much fun with them! it totally made my whole day. i love training, and i loved teaching them some stuff. it was the best night in quite some time for me. . . and it REALLY meant alot to play with them. i really do appreciate it.

What did i do until 11 o' clock last night?

i hung my weapons on my wall LOL and they can all easily be taken down too so i can still use them, but all the bo staffs and kali sticks took up so much floor space so i decided to put some screws up on the wall to hold them. . .i now think i have a weapons problem lmao i just watched "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" the other night and now i have a couple more weapons on my mind  O_O  i do believe this is worse than my Ben and Jerry's addiction lol my Uncle and Aunt are up visiting so ill prob post pictures later of us with them. my family and i are currently getting ready to go to church ill post more later
