growing up as in getting out of the house, and counting on yourself and God (thank goodness) to stay alive, spiritually sound and also resisting the enticings of 'de-evil' one.
i've finished my first year in NP.
give me another 2 more years and i'll be outta here.
"outta" referring to out -> mission, or out ->BYU.
and let me remind you, 2 years is long, but not THAT long.
i was doing my last personal progress 10 hour value project that requires you to find info on furthuring your education because they encourage us to Be Smart.
You know, The 9 Be s.
i can still remember the first value experience that i attempted when i was in beehives.
dang, i'm laurels president now.
reminiscing is good. retrospecting helps you evaluate your progress not just academically, but also in terms of life at large.
time flies. don't miss the train.

CLING WRAPPED.
thanks sethrina, but i dont think i have smashing skills YET(haha)! after the scripture video thingamajig ally and myra did some jump shots. lighting was pretty bad so i had to compensate the high shutter speed for a ISO 1600, which is pure suicide for my darling D200 ):
the result of such a smashing ISO is that you get a lot of noise -- a.k.a. grainy and uneven looking pictures. not nice at all.
so i decided to distort the picture since it can't get any worst. now ally and myra are cling wrapped.
fyi, that was ally's first jump shot (no kidding). ALLY I OWE YOU ONE. we shall take more jump shots when we do (:
hi zephyra.

ok this post is specially for zephyra. i got this super amazing picture of zephyra and i'm quite satisfied with it(: i even found a really cool ZEBRA font specially to type her name out! how cool is that!
i'm prolly gonna continue taking pictures in church until i have a fantastic picture of everyone. for practice sake, memorabilia's sake, my sake and your sake. and for goodness sake.
*crickets creeking*
err.. anyway, all i need is a little prseverance and un-lazy-ness to bring my camera around and it'll happen!
f.y.i woodlands ward is doing the deco for stake youth dance. 20th march. be there or be SQUARE. (in these instances, it's not that hip to be a square.. so be there!)
Stake Center!

AWE.
it's not awe-SOME. it's called 100% awe. church structures are all very interesting and special (: the SC looks soooo pretty at night. the lights and all. i have yet to get a better picture of the SC.
you have to understand that it IS a little tricksy. there's a tree to the right and the service apartments + tall hedges to the left and the long kang near the bottom and the tall light right smack in the middle... i took this with an amazingly slow shutter WITHOUT a zippin tripod. hence the picture is not as clear as i wanted it to be. one fine day, i'm gonna bring down the tripod and get a smashing picture of the lights.
btw, stake youth mutual just now was beyond hilarious. (AMANDAAA. YOU AHHH - haha!) pictures will be up in sunday. AIYA. there's stake choir on sunday. hmm... we'll see!
exams are done on wed. can't wait!
vday!

as i was saying the YW came over and we made some really scrumptious no-bake cookies.
i took more videos and less pictures this time..
mainly cos i was helping out with the baking (or non-baking).
therefore i shall upload the videos.
hopefully facebook will be nice and let me upload em, or else i'll have them here
so just look out for those and put a pin on it aite (:
creative juices from THONGZ.
btw, it says HAPPY and VDAY.
workspace was really messy. this was AFTER the partial clean up.
sis charlene brought some really awesome cardstock for us, prints were beyond amazing!
more cute prints! totally wallpaper-worthy.
completed gift boxes for the cookies!

Lydia's Wallet
Saturday, February 14, 2009 1:02 AM
YW come over to my place for an activity.
lydia forgot her wallet so she had her mum turn back the car.
she didn't want to come up and i didn't want to go down, so we decided to let the wallet go for a FREE FALL from the kitchen window.
p.s. that old man was REALLY watching us before i pressed the button!!
sticklessss are cool.

yes i changed my skin (for fun)
smashed in some links (for your sake)
and got a tagboard (for... oh well.)
alrighties. tagboard.. let's see.
1. say hi.. i mean.. if you want to?? haha.(what the heck who would be so fierce NOT to right?)
2. let me know if you're copying/downloading a picture.
it'll be better if you state like which one, but it doesn't really matter. i don't know what's wrong with this skin cos the pictures are really tiny. if you need a clearer one jsut let me know and i'll send it to you. (just f.y.i for dear ol' kandace so she knows who has her pictures. don't worry, i don't mind if you're archiving it, using it for a project or whatever.. don't tell me!)
*i disabled the non-right-clicking thing for you so just pop me a note ya?
3. tell me how i can improve my pictures. i'm still an amateur so.. feedback is always good (:
i'm more of looking forward to the END of it (i mean, WHO ISN'T??)
have a couple of stuff a.k.a. tiny self-inflicted projects at hand that i would really really really like to start
i haven't really got the time to update a whole lot,
there's a law test coming up tomorrow actually. almost jumped out of my skin cos i thought it was today.
the other time i was going home with mum and we saw someone hanging out their stuffed toy dog to dry.. i assume.
2.
that's the number of pegs that were keeping the little doggie from falling to the pits of filth. would you risk it??
i wouldn't.there's certain things that i definitely not leave out for the birds to sit on, or risk it falling and getting all grubby and stuff. stuff that i treasure are like my family, friends, moral values, life etc.
those are the ones that won't be found on my bamboo stick fosho (:
