A week as an alto

2009-10-16T20:10:00.000-07:00

Last week my choir director thought it might be fun to shake things up a bit and move me and a few other people around. One minute I was a soprano, singing the highest notes in the class (thank you very much) and the next i was moved to the lowest and weakest section in the choir- the altos. I was completely devastated. I was scared for both myself and the sopranos, because being the loudest in my section, they would need to step it up without me. not trying to brag or anything. but with the support of my friends i made it through the week, strengthening the altos as i accepted the challenge. On Friday though, she moved me back to the sopranos where the help was truly needed. I am back to being a soprano one, where my voice belongs.

BTW isn't this weather amazing?

School

2009-09-05T11:20:00.000-07:00

Hola bloggers!

Its been a long time, so this is just an update.

Camp was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it was!

Life Changing!

School started 2 weeks ago and i love my classes. I have all pre ap classes including algebra. Oi. That class is not much fun, but i love it anyways. My favorite core class is Us history though. US history is so much fun plus the teacher is hilarious. We watch funny videos in the middle of our notes and we learn a ton.

Now my favorite class is choir. that class is amazing and i have it at the end of the day so we have something to look forward too. Karate is definitely whipping me back into shape. but its fun.

I have a lot of classes with my best friends so its great.

8th grade is definitely going to be a great year!

2 days!

2009-08-07T14:13:00.000-07:00

2 days full of waiting. 2 days full of packing. 2 days left of boredom. 2 days until camp!

Its a bitter sweet feeling- Knowing that i'm going to have the best week of my year and knowing that i will be away from my beloved friends. I will miss them dearly.

This is why i am sad. But i am also nervous. Nervous for acceptance, nervous for the weather. Nervous that i will forget to pack something insanely important. Nervous for my brother who will be attending the towers just across the road from me.

I ask that you guys will keep us in your prayers as we head off to camp this sunday.

I will miss you guys!

friendships and journeys

2009-07-21T14:28:00.000-07:00

Over the years i have aquired a multitude of friends- many who i could not live with out. The hardest part of friendships is leaving them. Even if one of my friends leaves only for a short time i can get anxious and mildly depressed. Time seems to drag slowly on and i can't wait to see them again.

So i embark on a journey.

The journey always begins with package. Which means luggage. Which means a trunk. This year i got a green trunk. It was a little plain so i got paint. I am not the most artistic person in the world so i got stencils which did not help at all. painting wasn't the best idea i've ever had. I think i'll stick with stickers. ;)

Camp is still a few weeks away but i can't wait to start packing. thats the best part of pre-camp.

Hopefully my journeys will pass the time more quickly. If not, god help me!

so a while ago i posted a video of nigahiga called how to be ninga. Here is another video by them - How to be gangsta!

New Beginnings

2009-07-17T19:40:00.000-07:00

Many times i get a tune in my head, though i have no clue what the name of the song is. The same with words that seem to flow together like they were meant to be a poem. This is the birth of a song. I write these words down and try my best to find a fitting tune out of my mind. I look for more words to compliment the original lyrics, but usually nothing turns up.I will stay awake for hours trying to find something, when eventually i will fall asleep. these thoughts and words will be lost in the endless space of my mind or forever doomed to my notebook where they don't get the chance to be heard. I start again. Another song. A new beginning.

I honestly have no idea why i wrote that. I had nothing to write about, so i decides to write about that. Ok see ya!!!!

Transformers 2- may contain spoilers

2009-06-24T12:09:00.000-07:00

Last night I went to the midnight showing of Transformers 2. Honestly, I was disappointing . I mean it had great effects, but It seemed to have more language, more sexual content, it left loose ends untied, it introduced too many characters, and they crammed it all in a 2 and a half hour movie. We were glad my little brother didn't understand half the sc mentioned. My family and I found the college girl decepticon disturbing and unneeded. I loved all of the new characters, but I wish the corvette talked. The dogs were unneeded, and the brain probing was disgusting. Over all I was disappointed, but at the same time, I enjoyed it. I want to get it when it comes out on Blu-Ray, because there was too much to take in on the big screen. I'd love to hear your thoughts if any of y'all go see it. Blog later!

Baby Eliot WARNING- ONLY WATCH IF YOU WANT TO CRY

2009-06-18T12:24:00.000-07:00

My mom and I were watching Oprah who was doing an episode with Celine Dion and the were talking about miracle children. I saw this video about baby eliot and my mom and i started bawling our eyes out. I think this video is great inspiration and it really shows how you don't know what will happen and you should always celebrate every second you have.

The parents of Eliot made this video in remembrance of Baby Elliot's life. It's called 99 balloons.

I'm so glad i don't have 2 left feet!

2009-06-17T13:07:00.000-07:00

Natasha, I seriously believe that i inherited my moms clumsiness.

That has a little to do with this post, but i just wanted to get that out.

Refering to the title of the post, my left foot has been having the worst luck imaginable. Yesterday at dance i tripped over myself and hurt the outside of my left foot, and the day before that, I manage to get three ant bites on my left foot. They itch insanely. I am dreading pointe tomorrow. So i have a lucky foot and an unlucky foot.

Then last week at dance (this is where my first statement comes in) I was working my axel and I tripped backwards and fell into a filing cabinent which sent a three ring binder on to my arm. unfortunately the rings were open and they stabbed into my arm. Oddly enough, there was no blood involved, but i still had to pull the ring out.

I am extremely graceful, don't you think? XD

Love always-

HEY!!!!

2009-06-15T11:12:00.000-07:00

hey guys! I'm so sorry i haven't blogged in a while. I've been really busy with swimming and taking care of my new little brother! he is very adorable and i love him so much. we love listening to music together and dancing. i babysit him almost every day and sometimes its a pain, you know, having to wake up so early, but i enjoy spending time with him

School is out, well, it has been for a couple of weeks. Finals went well and I got all A's, again. I'm officially an 8th grader! I will have all Pre- AP classes next year and algebra. Sounds like fun, right?

Dance. I'm getting better. Pointe is going pretty well. A few weeks ago I was finally able to do the splits! I was so excited!!

So I went to otto's looking for a Shelby GT 500 KR Cobra (KITT), but it wasn't there. I ended up eating a Baked potato and french fries and saw a lot of other neat cars. one looked almost exactly like KITT, but this was a 427 Stage, A very rare car. so I got pictures.

Eagle Eye

2009-01-19T16:27:00.000-08:00

YES!!! I FINALLY saw it!!!! And it was a whole lot better than I thought it would be. The movie over all was AMAZING!!!!! But what can I say? Steven Speilburg was involved.
The movie was about Jerry Shaw (Shia LeBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan), two ordinary people with ordinary jobs.When Jerry's twin brother dies, weird things start happening. first, when he goes to cash a check, he recieves 751,000 dollars. the many, many boxes turn up in his apartment containing explosives and weapons. He recieves a phone call telling him to do crazy things like running from the FBI, ducking, jumping, ect. Then he meets up with Rachel.
Rachel, is a single mother, whose son is in a band playing in D.C. She gets a call threatening to derail the train her son is on if she doesn't do what she's told. Now they're both on the run, being told what to do by the unknown woman on the other end of the line.
This movie is action packed, complete with car chases, guns, explosions, and much much more!!!!! I recommend this movie to anyone to anyone who likes being on the edge of their seat the whole movie.
5 stars for this one!!! I'll cross something off on my list!!

Rockets Game!!! Part 2

2009-01-16T19:07:00.000-08:00

Okay, sorry it took a while to get this up. I've had finals all week and haven't been able to do more than check my email.
OMCAEC!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
****List of events leading up to Rockets Game****
First I went to a birthday party. We went shopping because we were going to go see twilight, but they cancels the showing of it. We were about to sew the movie theater.

After that, we came home and I got dressed and did my hair.

Then I went to Starbucks because I needed caffeine. I got a venti carmel frappaccino. very yummy.

Once I got to the school, the choir and I warmed up and I got on the bus with my friend Reina and we went to the Toyota center.

We got to the Toyota Center and went into the Atrium to practice. The acoustics in there were awesome. we were echoing. So cool.

We then went into this place sort of like a hallway but it was underneath the stands. We waited like thirty minutes. and I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. It wasn't to smart to drink a very large coffee right before I went. Let me make this clear I drank the coffee at 4:00. I started having to go around 6:00. I couldn't go until after 7:30. Yeah. i was tortured.

We sang to be sound-checked. and then we walked out onto the court!

No words could explain how I felt right then. WOW!!! It was like the whole stadium opened up in front of me. It was huge and loud. We walked onto the court. To my right were the Rockets. To my left were the Knicks. Yao Ming was a GIANT. I mean he was like huge!!! Then again, they all were all that way. When that horn went off, I thought I went deaf. Ms. Hutson gave us our starting pitch and the announcer did his job. The spotlight was on us and we sang.

We rocked the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

We then went off the court and went to our seats. (And Yes, I ALMOST Tripped. :D) I was just glad to finally go to the bathroom. then I had A potato the size of my brother (He's about 10 inches long right now). Then I relaxed and watched the game. Well, I wouldn't say relaxed. I had to move between My row and Reina's row about every five minutes.

I had a blast though!!!! I can't wait to do it next year!!!!

I'll try to get a picture or a video of us up soon!!!

Rockets game!!!

2009-01-10T12:33:00.000-08:00

A few months back, I auditioned to be on the National Anthem crew at school. I made it of course, but I never expected to be singing at a Rockets game!!! We sent in a tape to the Rockets organization and we got in!!! Tonight is the night! We will be on the court of the toyota center in less than 5 hours singing in front of almost 18,000 people with one of my best friends!!! I'm nervous, but excited. We got a special shirt and everything. I have to go primp myself up, so ttyl bloggers!!!!!!

It's A Boy!!!

2008-12-29T13:01:00.000-08:00

No, my mom did not already go into labor, but it's going to be a boy!!!
Jonathon Douglas Garcia.
Honestly, I don't like the name at all. But my mom has her heart set on it so, it looks like he's stuck with it. And i knew all along that it would be a boy. I feel so sorry for my sister and brother.
I'm okay with it. I don't have to share a room!!! =D

I Caught Myself
Paramore

Merry Christmas!!!

2008-12-24T16:59:00.000-08:00

Twilight!!!

2008-11-21T14:33:00.000-08:00

Oh my cousin Josh, TWILIGHT IS IN THEATRES!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually got to go to the premire.

Not the one in LA, just the midnight showing, although that would've been cool...

So anyways, after a stressful day of school, the day after I had been sick, I came home from the orthodontist, my teeth insanely hurting, And did homework. Then I went up to my old elementary school and helped out with the bookfair they were having. I got to see my good friend Victoria for the first time in months. We each got $10 worth of items, and then we went to TGI Fridays (on a thursday night :D). Me and Victoria went to the bathroom so that I could get the rubber bands out of my mouth, and we came back to see Team Edward Buttons, bookmarks, and an apple in our places. We were confused, but we soon got the idea that we were going to see twilight opening night. We screamed for 10 minutes while calling our best friends, telling them the good news. After we calmed down, we went inside and put on our pins. We then went straight to AMC theatres at 10 o'clock (2 hours and 1 minute til it started. There was already a line going through the theatre. We sat down in the shortest line and waited. Right about this time, I was thinking about how I had been counting down to the showing all day long. (Magor Fan) Then we went into the theatre and waited another hour. We watched commecials like 2 times each, and then, we didn't have to wait anymore. It started!!!! The movie was amazing- very true to the book. I ended up getting 3 hours of sleep *yawns* and I get to see it again tonight!!!!!! (and possibly on monday...)

I know you may not like the book and my fellow fan girls...

But....

THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait for New moon...

On saturday, I had my solo and ensemble contest. I wore a black and red dress and high heels. Once I got to my school I ran inside and went directly into the room. My song, Wayfaring Stranger, wasn't hard and wasn't long. So I said my name, the title of the song, and the songs composer. Then I sang. I did my best. She critiqued me, and then I was done. Today we found our scores. 1 was the best and 5 was the worst you could get. I got a one!!!!! I got a shiney medal, too!!!

They were great. Afterwards, they came and sa in our suite. My brother and some other boys were making paper air plains and throwing them out the window, and the Marines joined in!!!

Okay, as you know, hurricane Ike is now in the Gulf of Mexico. It is projected to hit the Houston/ Galveston area. If the meteorologists' Ideas are confirmed, then many school districts will be let out for evacuation. NO SCHOOL!!! I know it's not good that a hurricane is coming, but no school is just AWESOME!!! Right now, Ike is over Cuba and is heading into the Caribbean. I will update my blog if I get any further news. Post later!!!

The Door Within

2008-08-21T13:01:00.000-07:00

Hello!!! So I'm getting off of videos for a while and I'm going to review one of my absolute FAVORITE books- the Door Within. Wayne Thomas Batson did an excellent job in writing these books. I love these books and have read them over and over again. Aidan Thomas is the main character who has moved half way across the country to live with his grandfather in need of assistance. When he is exploring the basement, he hears some strange noises and sees blue sparks. He then finds scrolls that tell about a place known only as The Realm. He also learns of the Kingdom of Alleble where King Eliam lives and rules all those faithful to Him. But the first sentinel, Paragal, grows jealous and soon betrays the King. The King is killed along with the entire Elder Guard. The King is resurrected and sends Paragal (now Paragor) into a new land in which he will rule and call Paragory. After reading the scrolls, Aidan finds a poem, inviting him into the Realm. With a little help from his grandfather, he gets there and makes friends with Glimpses such as Gwenne, Nock, Bolt, Kaliam, and many others. He then becomes the Twelfth Knight in an important mission. Will Aidan get back to the real world? Will he fulfill his mission? You'll have to read it all in the Door Within. I recommend these books to all who love fantasy books. Never Alone!!!

Praise for Wicked

2008-08-19T08:56:00.000-07:00

If your ever looking for a musical to see, I highly recommend Wicked. Wicked is the story behind the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. Why was she green? What made her seem wicked? How did she come to have flying monkeys as pets? How was her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East, evil? All of thesequstions are answered in the new musical. I love the music, story, characters, and actors provided by Wicked. This musical is a must see and it is AWESOME!!!

Breaking Dawn- It's almost here!!!!!!

2008-07-25T12:34:00.000-07:00

Okay, blog veiwers, Even though some of you have no interest in the Twilight saga *stares at natasha* I have to put at least one post about Stephenie Meyer's new, upcoming book- Breaking Dawn. Along with millions of other readers, I am in love with these books and cannot wait too read the conclusion, and will so be at the opening party at Borders a week from today. For those who haven't read the series here is what it's about- Vampires. It's a romance story about a human, Bella Swan, and A vampire, Edward Cullen. Bella goes to live with her dad in the small town of Forks. When she goes to school, she encounters gorgeous Edward Cullen, who is pale and as cold as ice. And in someway, he thirsts for her blood. When a Quillette boy, Jacob Black, Tells Bella an old legend, she quikly learns the truth- The Cullens are vampires. But not the normal coffin sleeping, bat, Count Dracula vampires, they are "vegitarian" vamps. They only hunt animals. So when bad vamps come through a Cullen family baseball game, they find Bella's blood quite alluring. And soon Bella is running for her life. And thats just in Twilight. I can't wait to see what Stephenie Meyer has up her sleeves for Book 4!!! Oh, I almost forgot, another thing many are itching to see is the movie made from twilight. Hang on Twilight lovers! Breaking dawn is almost here!!!!

PS- This is for Natasha- I am still a Ben Fan, but Alice Rules!!!!

Happy Birthday, Bobby!

Journey to the Center of the Earth

2008-07-13T07:13:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys! A few days ago, I went to see the movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth, starring Brendan Fraser. It was a great movie based on the book by Jules Vern. Scientist Trevor Anderson and his nephew, Sean, go to Iceland due to seismic activity and also to find Trevor's brother who went missing ten years earlier. They hire a mountain guide, Hannah, to take them up a mountain to check a unit there, but they are caught in an electrical storm. During the storm, they are trapped in an old mine. They find that the mine is filled with diamonds and other gemstones, but the ground beneath them is too thin to stand on. when the rock breaks, they fall for miles and into this water slide-like tunnel. The group encounters extinct, glowing birds, man-eating plants, gigantic piranhas, dinosaurs, and the body of Sean's dad. They have to find a way to escape before the Center heats up and they all die from it. This action packed movie is a must see this summer and I highly recommend it.

Camp

2008-07-07T09:18:00.000-07:00

Hello!! So last week I went to Pine Cove ( An AWESOME Christian Camp) , and had a life changing experience. On the first day, as we drove up, all the counselors were jumping up and down going crazy. I had begun to feel a little nervous. But once I got to my cabin, which was named Cheyenne 4, I met people that were as crazy as I was. My counselor, Fizney, was so awesome. That night the whole cluster of Cheyenne went to the middle of the forest and ate s'mores. *YUM*

The next day our cabin had bonded so well that we were the first cabin to win the spirit stick. After Breakfast we had bible study. It was cool learning about things from thousands of years ago. That day, we got our activity class schedules For me, that day, I had Sailing, then Horseback riding. After those two activity classes we had lunch which was the best meal of the day. There was always a hilarious skit where an evil bandito pied someone in the face. =D after that we had F.O.B.- Flat on Back. This was a time when we received mail. I was luck enough to get mail everyday. After Fob, we had our next classes. Mine were Archery and Pamper pole. Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it looks. First you have to get a harness on and climb a 20 foot tall wooden pole. if you make it to the top you then have to turn around and get onto the top that gets really shaky. standing up is the hardest part. After you succeed at doing that, you have to have the courage to jump off. I learned while doing that to trust that God will not let you fall. It's scary, but fun. Then its time for the most fun time of the day- FREE TIME!!!! You can go to the pool, buy something at the store, or even get a snack. That day I decided to get a diet coke and head to the pool. Half way through free time, though, I decided to dry off and go to the store. I bought a hat. After that I waited for Fizney to come for our one-on-one. That was fun. Too Soon Free time was over. Time to get all Perty for Redneck Reunion. Mom sent some fake Buckteeth to wear but they were too hard to talk in. After dinner, we got to run around and play some really fun games like tug o' war, bobbing for apples, and sumo wrestling! After that we had worship club which was so much fun. We had a talk after each club and then it was time to take a shower and go to sleep.

The next day we got ready for Pit and Palace. That is basically cleaning our cabin. We went to Breakfast and went about our normal routine. after fob I went to Archery again but then after that I went to the zip line. soon it was time for free time and I got another diet coke and headed to the pool. I went off the blob and the trapeze which were both awesome. I had to leave the pool 15 minutes early for the seventh grade trip to the Timbers where I will go next year. We ate Pizza and went Banana Boating.Wiping out was awesome. After that we just played around for a while. Then we had our out door worship. then we took our showers and went to bed.

We woke up and went around like usual but the Bandito stole the spirit stick. Evil Right? I started Pool Games and I did the climbing wall. I couldn't make it to the top though. then I had sailing again. After free time and another diet coke, it was time for The Duct Tape Dance. That was probably my favorite theme night. The girls got to stay up later than the boys that night and eat candy.

Everything went as usual. During Free time I went to g help out at the barn which was a lot of fun. Then it was time for commando. we had fireworks so we had to postpone the Game of Commando until Friday. Grrr. Oh well we got more time to take showers.

Friday. The last full day of camp. The Covie Awards. Cheyenne won the Cluster Sword. I let out the horses for the last time. I had fallen in love with this horse named Timber. He was so sweet and fast. I got to wear my green dress and Win the game of Commando. That's right. Campers always Win!!!

On Saturday I had to say good bye to all the friends I had made, good bye to all of the horses, good bye to the counselors, Good Bye to the Pine Cove Ranch. This Camp taught me many things but above all, to trust that God has a plan for all of us and that we should trust Him and go to Him in our times of despair.

Yola!!
