more photos!

i'm convinced i look better in photos than in real life.

really.


So last night was AWESOME because i got to video chat with my girl Amy Upshizzle, then later in the night i got to conference call with the lovely O, Sammo, AND Amybaby! So awesome. I love my friends. They're all really pretty too (≡^∇^≡)

I wore this dress around the house yesterday. Didn't really go out yesterday since my cheeks were swolllllen.



Then this morning was GLORIOUS! I woke up at 7:45am, looked outside my windows and saw the beautiful weather, and was like OKAY HURRY AND BRUSH TEETH, WASH FACE, GET DRESSED SO I CAN READ SCRIPTURE AND PRAY!!! Because what better way is there to start off the day? Ugh, God is so good.




So I went to go meet Jenn Huang at Starbucks afterwards, and then worship practice 10am-11am, fooled around a bit, and then hung out with the interns + josh! We ended up getting lunch at pho saigon, so when i got home i changed clothes because the pho smell tends to cling to my clothes (;^_^A

We went shopping at Container Store, Best Buy, and Costco. I got home and helped make pasta salad for tomorrow's picnic...



Now life is good because I'm chilling and reading Martha Stewart.

Tonight I'm seeing my girl JLuu cuz we're gonna watch Despicable Me!

おはよう〜

It's been a long~ time since I've updated ameblo (ﾉ_･｡)

So I guess it's time for an update, eh?




Here's my BFFL james! He looks super silly here. Anyway, we've been hanging out a bunch since coming back from Costa Rica...except now he's in Michigan for a drum major camp. Boo....


The other day, Sherry and I were going to go to Mighty Cone downtown for lunch. However, the weather decided to be poopy and rain so we couldn't. Instead, we went to Barton Creek Mall. We're inside this earth-y store, and we discover that they sell hermit crabs!







Hehe...

So we decided that we were really thirsty afterwards...and wanted a cupcake. So sherry drove us both down to Hey Cupcake!...which happened to be in the same trailer park as Mighty Cone! T_T I got a cupcake, and Sherry got a cupcake AND a snowcone. Yummm




I CAN'T WAIT TO GO THERE ANOTHER DAY.




So cute.




Looks SOOO good right? mmmm

Anyway, James had a mini-vacation at our home for a few days since his entire family was out of town. He spent three nights at our house! Fun. One of those days we all went shopping at IKEA for stuff I needed in my dorm and stuff for Matthew...




And Sunday evening I hung out with Prad Sherry and Josh for the LAST TIME!! Josh is moving to California T_T I will miss him...he's awesome. We went to Thai Cuisine and then to Gourdough's, which is of course, delish.




The following day I got four of my wisdom teeth removed. Here's a photo of me looking absolutely ridiculous because my mouth is numb.




And it's not even that bad in that photo because my cheeks aren't swollen...like they are now. ｡ﾟ(T^T)ﾟ｡

Only one more day until Costa Rica!

So before I leave for two weeks, I want to update this thing (≧▽≦)

Last Sunday after church Matthew and I got Vietnamese sandwiches! I don't really understand how he managed to finish his entire sandwich before I could finish half of mine...but still! DELICIOUS




We also went to MT Suprmarket, where we spotted typical fail engrish.







This is a half eaten strawberry with loads of cream on it.




Me. Eating it.

on MONDAY, a group of us went to Barton Springs, and Kelly and I tried to take scandalous photos.




I accidentally only got our nonexistent boobs





This one is slightly more successful...




after barton springs on monday, we went to SNO-BEACH. Oriana and I shared a pink lemonade & raspberry daiquiri (・ω・)/



Then on I forgot which day, we had a dinner with michelle at THE CLAY PIT (an amazing indian restaurant downtown). We had to fit 7 people into her Lexus SUV...hahahah THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD AND FILLING. And we all only had to pay $6 (thanks to a $25 off coupon rishi had :P)



the cutest mexican friend i ever had



SHERRY. This was my attempt at getting the people in the back seat...i kind of succeeded?




Josh had to sit in the trunk for the car ride to Juicy Tart (from Clay Pit). Back home, however, Prad sat in the trunk (≧▽≦)




After Emma Long on Thursday, we went to SNO BEACH (again), and this time I got fuzzy navel and strawberry (i think) with cream! It was so goood....

Then yesterday, after a bit of yelling between me and my parents, i decided to get out of the house for the entire day. For the first hour I tried to go shopping for shorts/tshirts, but didn't really find much...so called up kelly huang to see if she wanted to meet up for lunch and hang in the afternoon. She was game, so we met at Arboretum and ate at ZOE'S KITCHEN, a cute (but pricey) little cafe.



We had a real nice time just talking and relaxing...driving around to finish buying stuff we both needed for Costa Rica, etc.

For dinner, we went to this sushi place where we got to choose what the guy puts in our rolls.




After that we went to Barnes so she could lesson plan and i could do my devos...then she had to leave, so i went to go play with Brian!!

Brian chose to go to Main Event (I saw this super hot guy working there that I am in love with!) and we played games for a while...an hour? an hour and a half? and then just hung out afterwards!!

It was sooo fun~


Now...I will see you after Costa Rica!

さしぶりですね。。。！

As usual, I suck at updating ameblo, but I come with pictures!
Hurrah!

These are from like...three weeks ago until today (*^o^*)




This is my very first shaved ice in Austin (I think). I got LAVENDAR flavor!




I swear strapless dresses are the most uncomfortable and annoying thing. BUT...they look pretty (-^□^-) It's appropriate for this summer weather though




!! A gift from Leslie She's so nice and got me a UT shirt (^O^) I can never have enough UT merchandise. In fact, I wore this shirt for my VUID photo :P

So a few weeks ago we all had a meeting at Josh's house because Mark Custance came down! And then that night we had dinner at County Line. I'm not a big fan of barbeque, but it was fun






LOLS. Chad has very broad shoulders.




County Line has this really cute lake in the back full of turtles and you can feed them!!!




So this was my portion...half of the KING RIB PLATTER or something like that. I ended up only eating the babyback ribs because I'm lame and can't finish a lot (-з-) Matthew finished the big ribs for me.




After dinner, everyone was too full, and the boys grabbed chairs and lounged outside. So relaxing




It got to the point where I had to return my textbooks 。(;°皿°) My Calc book was probably my favourite book this year. Yes...calculus, even though I almost failed. But really, I loved this book!




One day this huge bug just sat outside our window. It didn't leave. For like...5 hours. SERIOUSLY.
It was one of the cuter bugs I've seen in my life...




So during finals week, none of us had any finals to take so we would just show up at school and hang out for a bit, and then go out somewhere else to play. I went to B&N quite often that week...And tammy snuck a photo of AN at B&N with us (＾～＾)




That same day, we decided to eat at Which Wich for dinner (OMG THE GUY WORKING THERE WAS SO CUTE) and I noticed that they had a Westwood Warriors sign on their wall! Weird, huh?




Do you like my drawing? It's so cute, right?




two random asian lovers or something. dunno who they are, but they forced me to take a photo of them




and they made me follow them home...and take a photo of them playing a duet. freaks.





and AGAIN when they were playing at the park....




Alright, another textbook photo. I LOVE THIS because TIM MAN decorated my bio book And we all know Tim Man is the cutest ever...




A rare picture of ME playing piano? I kind of look good in this photo (°∀°)b




OKAY so one day we decide to STARGAZE (which was a failure), so we just walked around the park fora little bit and witnessed two shady characters drive to the park at like 10:30 (which i guess we shouldnt be talking since we were there as well). And so we were walking...and then I REALLY HAD TO POO. Because my stomach was upset....so we decided to go to Larry's house and we just watched Iron Chef for a little bit. So here's a photo of Tams being all sexy and crap. You know, showing her legs off for Larry




GRADUATION. :D I'm wearing the new DIAMOND necklace mom gave me!! But yeah, graduation was early, but it was SO AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I freaking love Westwood. NO lie. Too many great memories have been formed at Westwood events, during classes, and with ww friends




The beautiful lei daniel kim gave me for graduation! He is so incredibly sweet and I will miss him so much :3




Our mousses (?) that we bought at Mozart's! It was another TALT date We went down to Mozart's and then ToyJoy and Buffalo, and then B&N at the Arboretum (where my roomie called me!), and then back up for dinner and hanging at my house. I took a walk with Tams and AN, and it was so nice! I love taking walks :3




me and tams at some random vintage store. nothing really worth looking at there. except this one pair of glasses i found....

that made me

WALDO












andrewcat's adam's apple is large.




yeah one day i actually MADE myself breakfast. crazy, huh?




THIRD time getting shaved ice from this stand. got the best flavour--pink lemonade!!!!!




matthew shot this can across the backyard with his airsoft gun! pretty intense, huh?

Today, we went downtown to eat chicken and waffles, and then at some other places!!!! Might be the last time I see michelle in my LIFE










So I know it sounds disgusting (I was TOTALLY against the idea of chicken and waffles and was apalled by it), but it's actually quite good...weird.

We wondered around downtown for a bit...










Michelle and Sherry's taco.


GOOD PAST FEW WEEKS, GUYS.

GOOD WEEKS.

じゃね！あたしは本当にしあわせ！

terrific lee, yep that's me!

so, this past week was our LAST week of normal westwood life.
ever.
EVER.



Wow...it feels so surreal! I can't really believe it!
My years at westwood have been really difficult, but also very rewarding. I wouldn't trade my experience for anything else. Westwood, though with a bad reputation for difficult classes and competitive students, is a really brilliant place with many wonderful individuals. I love it!

Last night I finally finished my senior scrapbook, so here's the cover page!



i also made some cupcakes, which were a slight disappointment because the icing melted throughout the day...


anyway today was really great.
last friday of the freaking year!

LAST FRIDAY AS A SENIOR!
AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT!
WOWWWWWWWWWWWW

Today...I had food in all my classes, and did absolutely NOTHING in all of them. Good, but kind of boring. We also had our last C-Lunch prayer ！(´Д｀；) I will definitely miss C-Lunch prayer...

After school Tammy and I took an adventure to the Domain (to get our backs massaged by chairs at Brookstone hahahah), then we went to go eat PHO (｀∀´), shopped around MT Supermarket practicing my chinese, stopped by Asia Market, and then went to orchestra/back to school. We hung around for a bit, and Andrew ended up coming back to school to play with me and Tammy (*^ー^)ノ

It was actually REALLY fun...I really love Tammy to death; her lively personality is so fun to be around! And Andrew + Tammy together are really hilarious

Afterwards I got home....and I found that I had a package! It was the pens Andrew and I ordered!!



They are so awesome. I can't wait to use them!!!!!!
