Upgrade time!!

The phone of my dreams! It has a QWERTY keyboard for more a more effective... and fun... texting experience, its pretty... and SO much better than the plain, free, whatever phone I have now. I looked at my friends phones in envy for so long, waiting patiently for the my day to come, the day where I could get an upgrade.

One day, my dad gave me the most amazing news EVER. He told me that on February 14, 2009 I can get an upgrade! Yes FINALLY, now people can look at ME in envy, while I enjoy the amazing texting experience that the ENV2,from Verizon, has to offer me.

Sadly, my dad keeps threatening to give my mom an upgrade instead (even though she INSISTS that she wants to keep the phone she has now.) I assume he's joking, I hope he's joking, but I guess we'll see.

So I use this tool as a plea, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, let me upgrade!!

New Years Resolution...

I know this is REALLY late and I'm SUPER sorry!!! Since I haven't been the best blogger in the world...as a new year resolution I've decided it would be good to make sure I post AT LEAST once a month... we'll see how it goes!

Christmas was wonderful. I got a Sony Cybershot PINK camera! I love that camera with a passion! I have to admit... just like any teenager, most of my pics. have been of me!! haha. well here are some of the other pics I have... not of me... from Christmas.



This is the VERY first picture I took with my PINK camera



Pancakes and vanilla icecream!!



Intense Mario Kart racing!!



Probably Junko's favorite present... her HUGE ballerina doll... sadly, its taller than her!!



Keiko testing our new Wii fit!

I hope everyone else had an amazing Christmas too! and feel free to yell at me if I start slacking on my blog updating!!

Half way!

WOOT WOOT! Today is my half birthday!!! I'm 14 1/2!! YAY. My dad almost died when I brought this to his attention! haha. Guess I'm growing up too fast!

So I'm kinda stressing out here... the first nine weeks are almost up, I have my nine weeks exams this week and UGH I still have 3 B's! I know.. 3 B's is not that bad, but comparing with last year, it makes me sad! I had straight A's all year, and I didn't even work half as hard as I do now! I guess IB is a lot more than I was expecting, but it's WAY fun! and I'm so enjoying it!

Dee

For those of you who don't know, Dee, is my cat. I've had her since I was like two, and she's become part of the family. Well lately we noticed that she was acting weird, so today while I was at school, my dad took her to the vet and OMG! guess wat.. they found out that she has diabetes.

For real. I didn't even know cats could get diabetes. Well now they have her on this special cat diet to help her lose some weight.

Any way, yeah, it's crazy and I still can't believe it!

SORRY!!

Ok so don't yell at me, I know it's only been like ten million years since I last posted!!! The IB program has really been keeping me busy! High School is pretty amazing so far, and it's so different from Middle School! The best part??... I can wear filp-flops to school! haha. Any way, I just got my progress report and I'm pretty ashamed to report I have TWO B's! I know B's are not that bad, but I mean last year I had straight A's all year, so I was a little depressed to see two B's. Thankfully, I have like four weeks to bring those B's up and keep those other five A's where they are! It's been hard finding the balance between all my homework and school stuff and having a life! IB keeps you really busy, I have homework ALL THE TIME and it seems like I even spend most of my weekends doin' homework. I always seem to have paper after paper due, and it can get really stressful. Call me crazy, but I TOTALLY love it! I mean I need that kind of stress in my life! and no matter how much work I have, I always seem to get it done.

Definitly the hardest part about high school would have to be adjusting to the whole waking up when the stars are still out and going to Seminary! btw, I am not kidding about the stars! I can see more stars when I leave in the morning, then when I go to bed at night... so not cool! lol. But Seminary has been amazing too, that first week, I was def. not a very happy person though!

Ok so here are our (my sisters and mine!)pictures of our first day of school!!!



I'm the only one without a picture in the morning! My mom didn't want to get up that early! lol

*sigh*

The clock is ticking...school is slowly (well not TOO slowly)getting closer and closer....summer is coming to an end...*tears* Which so reminds me that I have to get moving on my summer assignments! My mommy keeps yelling at me to hurry up and finish... and it's sooooo like me to wait till the last second... I get that from my daddy! haha.

Well I've just been thinking A LOT about school... and OMG I'M GONNA BE IN HIGHSCHOOl!! Can u believe it??? It's soooooooooooo exciting!! but scarry too! Well I've slowly been preparing my "To do before school starts list" There seems like there is so much to do and not enough time! So I better start working faster!!! haha.

Just felt like blogging!! haha. Well I'm starving!!! So ttyl!!!

HOME!

So we're home from Alaska. It was def. a fun trip! and turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it would be. we had a TON of fun! So here are some pics!!!



Here we are at the North Pole. Just to clear things up, it's not the ACTUALLY north pole, but a town in Alaska called North Pole. It's pretty cool. The building we are standing infront of is actually Santa Claus' house.



And there's Santa!!



And his reindeer!



We also went to this Gold Mine! It was really fun.



We got to pan for our own gold!!!



Mommy,keiko and Junko found about 9 bucks worth of gold. Me and daddy found 15 dollars of gold. Yuko and my uncle and aunt found 21dollars. My grandpa beat us all with 40 bucks worth.



There's my aunt, uncle, and Keiko, looking for Gold.



This is the Ice Museum! It was so cool! the freezers these ice sculptures are in are kept at 20 degrees. It was sooo cold but so awsome to see these sculputres.







PENGUINS!!!!!













Here are some pictures of us at Chena Hotsprings!!







So over all our vacation was sooooo fun!!! I highly recommend it!!! But you def. can't go to Alaska without building your own totem pole!!! HAHA
