Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
Hope you are having/ had a great one with the one's you love.

Today, a whole bunch of family came home. The type of family that i barely know. But today was different. Even though i had never spoke to some of them, I actually did this time and played cards and guitar hero with the ones my age. I had a pretty good time. They all left like an hour ago and i'm watching Eagle Eye now with church friends, my sister and a cousin(close one) :)

I'm thankful for:

• The friends i've recently made. The one's i've lost. And the one's i've known my whole life.


• My beautiful sister.


• Mom, Dad, Grandpa and the rest of the family.


• Church and the awesome people i've met there.


• Food. yes people, food is good :)


• Beeing able to see a brand new day.


• my bed.


• Life itself.

Thanksgiving is everyday. Don't give thanks just once a year.

"To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee,and not be silent. O Lord my God,I will give thanks unto thee for ever." — Psalms 30. 12

"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more." -Brother David Steindl-Rast

What are you thankful for?

awesome monday :)

I have the whole week off! yay!
today i went to school anyway because i had a choir rehearsal. from there i left to my best friends house. we played guitar hero, ate pizza and he showed me some guitar stuff..Then we went to the movies. Like 5 minutes after getting back home i recieved a call from a GREAT friend, i had a huge smile on my face, she's living in Florida now and i miss her way too much. you have no idea.

I just wanted to say that i'm so grateful for everything and everyone in my life right now. but i'll save that for my thanksgiving post ;D

Fall Concert

So my school now has a series of concerts for the choir and school band. The Fall Concert was yesterday, we also sing for christmas and then a Spring Concert.

I just wanted to say that I sang a duet with my best friend Amaris and it went great! Best part is I wasnt as nervous as i've gotten for other stuff. And i want to thank my friends for that. As soon as i stood up front of all those people, i looked at my friends (some i hadnt seen since May) and smiled. I think i've never smiled so much in a concert. Unfortunately, my sister and my mom were late and they didnt get to see me. My dad did though. I'm extremely happy with how everything turned out and at the end of the concert everyone said they loved the song and how me and my friend sang. There is a video of the song and i'll show u guys a link as soon as my friend uploads the video. I also sang 4 more songs with the choir :)

After the concert, I went to Fudruckers with choir, honor society and band buds. I had a great time :D

btw, the song is: His Eye is on the Sparrow by Lauryn Hill ft. Tanya Blunt (i chose the song)

20!

October was a great month and i have a feeling November will be too (:
of course there's always ups and downs but its all good.

This friday was Report Card Day. i got an A in english. B in the other classes and unfortunately D in math. my math skills suck :/. Yesterday(saturday) I went with a group of the youth from church to a Skate Park. The place has go-karts, pool and paintball too. It was my first time playing paintball and i loved it. I have a bruise in my arm but it was definately worth it! haha. Today was also a good day, i went to church and helped out with the adorable but sometimes annoying kids. After that i ate lunch with friends and came home, studied and and i'm now here.


This month has also been pretty crazy for PR. People without jobs on strike and a huge explosion of a gas refinery the week after the strike. The explosion was pretty scary i didnt hear or feel anything when it happened but thanks to the resourceful facebook i found out about it. The next day i decided to go to school and I saw the all the smoke. it looked bad. firemen worked over there the whole weekend 'till sunday afternoon when all the fire was finally put out. Fortunately, nobody died in the fire and everything was pretty controlled. Honestly, i never thought i'd live to see something like that happen where I live. It was pretty scary to me.


One of the highlights of this month was definately being able to recieve mail. It was a great thankyou letter from Ashley. I had sent her a package a while ago and i recieved a thankyou letter from her. I love how even though we can speak whenever we want by comments or chat its always good to be oldfashioned. I love sending packages and handwritten letters. I used to do that alot with an old friend from San Francisco but we havent written to eachother in a long time thanks to technology.

Next friday I have a choir concert. I have to do a solo and i get nervous just speaking about it D: . But hopefully it all turns out well. Plus i love the song, I actually chose it. Also, a friend asked if i could sing with like 5 people more on thanksgiving day at church, kind of nervous for that one too because i'll be singing with REALLY GOOD singers.

well thats pretty much it.
hopefully, i wont abandon this blog so much. Sometimes I just dont know what to write. I know I barely have followers but I still care and like to blog every now and then :)

btw, this is my 20th post ;)
