happy weekend!

i decided to upload some pictures from the JSA (debate) convention last weekend, and from the National Honor Society (NHS) induction from this week! i got elected as NHS President for the 2010-11 year and I'm really excited for all the events and things to come! i'm not sure why, but i just love leadership, working with others, and purposefully going after a mission. :)

shirt and pants - banana republic (i love that store!)

my mom bought me these shoes for christmas a few years ago. :) it's so hard to find fitting shoes with size 5 feet. xD

pictures from the NHS induction:my fashionable friend (other guy trying to be tall and me eating grapes) :)

yes i was pretty excited. :))

here are some pictures to enjoy over the weekend. :] peace out ya'll!

song of the moment
spongebob - fool who ripped his pants
(it's actually a good song. haha)

"be true to yourself! dont miss your chance! and you wont end up like a fool who ripped his pants"

i want a huckleberry friend...

quick post! i just have to say breakfast at tiffany's is such a good movie.

i've been listening to moon river (particularly the one by audrey hepburn) all day. :)



i wish i knew a guy that would look at me how that writer dude does. :]

and i love the passion in the last scene: (when she says "cat! cat!" it makes me laugh, cuz it has no name, and it makes me cry, cuz... it just makes me cry) :)

"you know what's wrong with you, miss whoever-you-are?
you're chicken. you got no guts.
you're afraid to say, 'ok, life's a fact.' 

people do fall in love. people do belong to each other, 
because that's the only chance
anybody's got for real happiness."

(wow that's a long quote)

song of the moment -
moon river - audrey hepburn

i love the world

a while back i said i'd post pictures of my travels to germany and austria, so here are some photos from germany today! there are more to come! (all from late winter/spring 2008, so i dont look too hip, but bear with me)

(click pictures to enlarge. sorry they aren't edited and fancy looking!) :S

at every cafe, there are tons of tables in front for people to sit outside! so beautiful. :)

my dad is a funny man
(i bought that jacket at united colors of bennetton. it was such a splurge but i slightly regret buying it because now i dont wear it that much since it's a bit big D:)

i bet he’s saying/thinking "hey there babe...i know youza lookin at me via that computer screen. mmmmhhmm…”

(if you'd like to see where i got these pics, check out the links on my tumblr. sorry i'm too lazy to cite them!)

song of the moment
aloe blacc - i need a dollar

media mumble

(i have no idea what i mean by "media mumble" but it's "alliterative" so yay! :D)

so the JSA spring state convention was pretty great! i had the guts to do a few impromptu speeches as a subsequent speakers for debates besides my own such as "the supreme court justice should have term limits" (pro), "all men are not created equal" (con). and i wanted to speak for "compulsory secondary education should be gone" (i dont remember the exact resolution, but i wanted to go for con). feel free to formspring me if you want to know why i have positions for those and other things (i dont want to explain why for each xD).

the main downside was the debate i prepared all night for was kinda cancelled and just became a mini discussion/thought talk. :( for every debate, there's a best speaker and i really believe i could've got it, but because it wasn't a debate, it just wasn't the same! these two other guys, who made some great points, but digressed so much (!!) got the award, but oh well, i should stop being a sore loser. xP

i had a pretty nice time at the dance though! you would think that the a dance at a debate convention would be super nerdy... but no. it was a complete grind fest - the girls' butts were higher up their their head cuz they were full on 90 degrees... if you understand what i'm saying. anyway, i did my homework for a few minutes while meeting some new people and then i headed to the dance for a bit. i wish we did swing dances, or even hoe downs instead of grind fests. seriously. D: oh well, i whipped out some dance moves with my friends in the corner. i have so much more to say, but i dont want to tire you! here's some (very) random pics of the day from my tumblr (feel free to follow it) :)

that's a real princess cruise!

hehe...

rest in peace mj

song of the moment -
michael jackson - blood on the dance floor
anita o'day - that old feeling :)
(i totally felt that old feeling this weekend, even though i met him for the first time.. anyway that's another story)
(both songs are on my playlist)
