Jason Derulo

The other day we went to a concert...it was for Jason Derulo.
Here are some pictures:

Heartfelt singing....Watcha say??
 Someone blackmailed us!!! ANGELA!!! o well now you know my true colors...
(anyway they always put bad pictures of famous people) (I would say inside joke...but I hate it when people say that)
More heartfelt singing....
This is everyone else (and me) looking BAD!!!

Anyhow the concert was fun, there was this fat girl pushing Anita the whole time....and um...we ran through fountains, ate zagu's and icecream and rocked out to Jason Derulo.....(the first time I heard of him is when we were invited to the concert :P) but he's cool, so if u don't know him u should look him up on youtube, his dances are really nice...a.k.a. he's a nice dancer
Bad quality Video....Mandy recorded (ment in a good way)


One of the songs he sang... I never seen this video so if it's bad or weird don't look at me..

Camp Rizal

A few days ago I went to this camp in Rizal, Laguna (some place in the Philippines). It was super fun, the whole camp was 5 days (including travel), it was kind of awkward cuz I didn't know anyone except Joel (he went also). But I made friends surprisingly fast, and had a great week. Anyway we did some crazy activities, and the games they come up with are totally crazy..........don't know who invented them (but who cares that makes it fun)-------most that is. Here are some pictures, they didn't upload all the pictures yet, and there is barely and of me, so yes but enjoy anyway.

 One of the activities was making a boat, they gave you a few things and you had to decorate it, I'm in the back of this picture (our boat)

making our boat (I was the knife person, and I'm not in the pix)
more making our boat
even more boat making
 Joel's teams boat...and team
Olivia's boat team (Olivia is the girl with the blue shirt) ---p.s. she's super cute (the way she acts)
our boat on water--it held the most people!!!
the judges who decided which team won (actually only 2 were judges)
the grass used to be super nice, but then there was a massive typhoon in the middle of the camp and blew down tons of dirt, and even whole tree's...all my stuff got wet :-s 
So for that morning the activity was who could pick up more leaves, and coconuts, and in all there were over 1,000 coconuts. that was just part of them, they got super high and broke the soccer net after they were all stacked

Now you see the camp staff said they would add more pictures on facebook, but so far they didn't, so this is all I have, but I will add more later (like the waterfall ones) we went to a waterfall and jumped (I was super scared though and it took me forever)

Sting and Greenwitch

This is a tv comercial we had to act about two month ago, you can only see me at one point and it's my back, but anyhow it was fun meeting all those people and acting along with them. Enjoy! ;)



And this is another one, where you cannot see me at all, but it was fun/tiring to act

Butterflies and strange thoughts.

Since I have been so lazy to post I decided to get down and write....but my mind is out of ideas so I will write about butterflies. Now I'm not like super into butterflies even though they are pretty, but the reason I was thinking about them is cuz my wallpaper has butterflies on it. You see a long time ago I made a post about Zindy-zone.dk my favorite artist and anyway this is my wallpaper....
see isn't she just awesome, and aren't you just jealous!!! Hu??? 
I have some good advice for you (Joel would be very proud of me to hear this)
If you want to get anywhere in life do extra curricular stuff like art, or learn an instrument, sewing, etc. and not just the bare minimum but enough to boost your self confidence. You see the reason I'm saying this is cuz recently I learned that self confidence is important as when you hang around other people who are all really good at different stuff you just start  feeling really stupid, well like you don't know anything well enough beyond the 'bare minimum'. Anyhow, that's how I felt, and still do a lot, cuz even if I do art and guitar, my friends are always better than me, but at least I can do it better than I could a year ago when I wasn't into learning anything. I'm still super lazy now and I'd rather just sit down and talk to someone or read a book when I have a good one, but doing that won't last me till the future. Ahhh this post ended up sounding dorky, even if I did mean it. Maybe writing posts at 12:00 at night is not very smart, I think I'm gonna go read and then sleep. Goodnight I love you :*

The Purpose of a Missionary

One day, when I was a freshman in high school,

I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle..

It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?

He must really be a nerd.'
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him..
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him...

He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.'  

They really should get lives.

' He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!'
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before..

He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.


He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football
with my friends
He said yes.

We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my  friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.

I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!
' He just laughed and handed me half the books.

Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors we began to think about college.

Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke.

I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never
be a problem. 
He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship..

Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
  I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
  graduation day, I saw Kyle.

He looked great.
  He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.
He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
  Boy, sometimes I was jealous!
Today was one of those days.

I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
 So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!'
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
  ' Thanks,' he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began
  'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.
  Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends....
  I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story.'
  I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the
first day we met.

He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
  He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
  He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
'Thankfully, I was saved.
 My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable..'
  I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
  I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
  Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
  Never underestimate the power of your actions..
  With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
  For better or for worse.
  God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way.
  Look for God in others.
  'Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.'
  There is no beginning or end... Yesterday is history.
  Tomorrow is a mystery.
  Today is a gift.

SNAKE!

Soo....one day I just woke up it was 2:30 P.M. --yes people I went to bed at 5:30 wat do u expect, and so I walk into my room (I slept in the free room) and go look for something to wear, when my little brother starts saying 'Mommy look a snake..I found it.' And my mom is like Gabey go away from the snake and she gets a broom to try to kill it, but then it slithers into my room and on my sisters foot and then under the computer table. She was super disgusted and picked up the dog and walked out of the room... In the meanwhile my mom told Gabey to go downstairs and call Uncle Jo....(an adult in this home), he was in the middle of a seminar but came upstairs anyway and killed it, now we had a messy bloody floor, but o well at least no one got hurt (mind u it was a poisonous snake). So yes after we cleaned up, our dog went and started sniffing the floor where the snake had been, gross. Anyway the snake is still out in the garbage :P Scary animals...:-s

It looked just like this one.... just alive :p
anyway my sister had a spider this big...(like the picture size) on her head today..gross no, she was like wats this rubs it of and then was like ewwwwww it's a huge spider.....hehe sick! The Philippines is a crazy country, but I heard that Thailand and India are worse when it comes to creatures...like scorpions and tarantulas....
