THE WEEK IS FINALLY OVER..... this has been the most miserable week i've had in a really long time. I thought once i made it past wednesday, the week would be downhill right? EENNN... wrong. That was only the beginning......come thursday... another vigorous nite of eventful studying. *sigh* wednesday felt like friday, thursday felt like friday, and when friday came along..... i wanted the year to be over. So i guess dancing was a good relief to a long week of overwhelming stress. But now... i'm stuck with the duty of mastering yet another new set of beats. OK, (i know i've said this to a ton of people aready) but u know how there are certain days that you find people wearing the same kinds of clothing or the same color? Well, wednesday was white collar shirt day (and so and so was off a day) and today (friday) was orange day... it's like that article on esp... but not esp...something else.. i forget the name... anyway, if anyone has a good explanation... tell me cuz i think that's the coolest thing. Today was an awesome day... tuesday was even awesomer (hehe..haha.. )... it's cuz i think i did fairly well on my history test, good on bio quiz and um... unknow about my spanish quiz.. i'm thinkin good... but.. with foregin languages.. unless ur native.... u never know. Man.. first year ever i'm gonna miss the retreat. *sigh* well... not many of us going this year eh?
sick n tired of hearing all these ppl talk about
wuts the deal with this pop life and when's it gonna fade out
thing u've got to realize, wut we're doings not a trick
we got the gift of melody we're gonna bring it till the end
( i have that stuck in my head.... i wanna get it out)

I never knew that finishing your hw early is so self satisfiying. I enjoy having free time to edit my blog.....haha..(no life? yes....) I actually, as michelle aready knows, am doing next weeks hw...haha... yes.. overachieving nerd with no life. Actually i'm just trying to be a disciplined overachieving nerd with a semi life. And my next goal in life is to go see Signs. I haven't seen a decent scary movie in a while... actually i watched stigmata again like.. a few weeks ago... it was better the second time cuz i actually watched it b4 12 and i wasn't tired. But i'm in the movie for a fright. You know... since i'm on a roll... i'm thinking of studying for wednesdays bio test today.....hehe...actually i'm gonna go bake some cookies for some peeps b-day. L*Ta

lalala.. haha.. waiting for my hair to dry... dont like hair dryers much... bad for ur hair. Anywaz....fellowhship was fun today. Today was a good day. I got a ton of my hw done.... then practiced for the talent show stuff some... and then fellowship... and of course.. i got to talk on the phone w/ Deeni.. great convo... heart to heart talking is a great thing. I think i sat in an ant pile today or something cuz... i got a whole bunch of ant bites... and i had to get the poison out... *ouch* (my exciting thing of the day...)... hum.. it's kinda real early.. and time for me to rest soon... and since my comp is next to my parents room for the time being.. i'm not gonna risk waking my mom up (baddd thing) so i'll go...peace out

WELL~~ *SIGH*..... back in school now.... several days... lived through a weekend... many more weeks to come.... and no parking space to park in =(..... bummer.. that's ok..School has been... actually alright. I dont enjoy getting up at the odd hours of the morning but.....{oooooo ENYA!!....(listening to the techno version of sail away..hehe)} i guess i can learn to love the early morning. Another frown.... my dad is outta town, one less parent to help me w/ pre-cal. I think tho that yet another frown is i dont get to have more classes w/ my favorite ppl. Some of my favorite ppl i have classes w/ but.....not as many as last yr. (especially bio 4th, 1st semester *wink wink*) Speaking of Bio.......bio II is not a very exciting class. I dont enjoy the nightly outlining and studying but... .i guess it's not that bad..... speaking of which, i must go study......need to go ace a quiz.

DUN DUN DUN DUN**** This summer has been so awesome. I've had way too many life changing experiences that have rocked my world. But you know what? I think that i've had just enough fun to last me for a few lifetimes (dang... only have one..hehe=). I have confidence that i'll make it throught this year a-o-k. This summer has been so short but so much has happened in the meantime. In some ways (oddly enough) i'm looking foward to going back to school. This year will be a weird one. Especially since "the four of us" will litterally be spread all around the nation. *sigh* our first taste of this will begin once cyndi leaves huh? But i'm excited to see how things happen. I saw my mom's best friend of 20 years this weekend. I can't imagine knowing anyone for 20 years. But 13 years from now i'll have known many of you for 20 years...hehe... Funniest thing too, when my mom's friend saw clements she was like...man... u guys live really close to a jail..... and then she was like.... how come you guys have so a strange jail facility. I cracked up... ahahahhaa.. i was like... uh... that's my school =)

i'm having a cow of a time online.. more people... it's like a rush when u talk to 1 person at a time...haha... j/k....i finally found something that makes texas rock.. minus my way cool house, the fact that there is a tax free weekend. WOW... tell me about it.. i remember going to oregon and freaking out cuz i didnt have to think tax. *sigh of relief. Wow.... sleep overs all so much fun cuz you dont really sleep. Just a bit of advice for those of u who aren't as bright as i am.... dont drink 2 cups of coke, a cup of pepsi, 2 slices of pizza, slice of cake, thing of browie.... and expect to be able to sleep. Me, mich and gloria... heck of a time..o yea..... and a heck of a time trying to keep lids above eye level during service........wah. Ok, i never got a chance to nap today... so i've been surviving quite well with 2 hrs of sleep. The greatest surprise of all came to me when for some odd reason everyone knew that we'd had a girls night out. Weird or what? All the adults would be saying stuff like, "oh... u must be tired aren't you?" Someone asked me the other day, if u wanted to have total controll over one body organ which one would it be? i Have to say Heart.... u have no control.. .and sometimes it nice to have some.

i had the most action packed dream last night. It was totally amazing. I felt like i was actually a CIA agent. It was pretty kewl....haha...i had a gun... and it shot water with it. Luckily.... for once..nobody died in my dream. Hehe... actually i haven't had any dying dreams in a long while. I think the last dying dream was the one.....oh.. about how i chased Scott with a giant red truck and ran him over....hahaha.....okay... i'm really tired now.... i think i worked out way to hard... nitey nite

*sigh* and no i haven't started the habit of actually saying that....haha... *tear* *cough* *weeze* hahahah.. i love christine... who wouldn't. Anyways, i spent an absolutely fabulo nite out with my parents and the Ngs. Sadly Stephanie wasn't there to pull any Stephanies....hahah....but really her cousins didn't seem that odd.....well... as unodd as elementary/middle school peeps get. Oh, and on the side i think her dad and her uncle are so much alike.... it's (as Jess would say it) uncanny. Oh, and steven is so cute....haha.. i've never met a more innocent little guy. I thought that by the 4th grade... everyone had played truth or dare... apprently not. However, being the great influence that big kids are, we taught him how to play... and well, it was........uh.......interesting.... (never pick truth or dare) Oh, oh, great news, i'm so proud of myself. I finally manage to finish the reading portion of the princeston review. I'll actually get back to taking practice tests in the near future. *sigh* Maybe now that i'm more "experienced" with the SATs i wont depress myself. Oh, oh, I did the most exciting thing today... i watched the lizzie mcguire dance marathon. Awesome show..... shoutoutz to all my LM/breakfast club memebers. (but bummer enuf.. i missed the 2 all new episodes). I watched Seven.... a while back (the movie) odd movie, but totally a Brad one. I was so in a Brad mood. I need to find more Brad freaks in Sugar Land.... there are definately not enough around here. I'm desperate for a Bradfest. I also watched Meet Joe Black... again... and YES i cried.... again... third.. fourth or fifth time in a row. It's such an awesome movie though. *sigh* well, at least i think so. Wow, my lil baby sis is gonna be 6 next week. That makes me feel so old.... 6 yrs older than the day i got a sister. haha...It's nice to think about the no sister days... but where would i be without Isabel right? Everyone who sees her, loves her.... i don't get it... she's such a little devil. I still got her a present though. I got her a book.... yes.. how very educational of me.. i know.....I got her the book, Where the Wild Things Are. Awesome book. You know what i'm looking foward to now? My birthday and christmas. My two favorite days of the year. The worst part about having a december b-day is that i only get one present for both occasions. well, anyhow, i still love the vacation/ holiday part of that month. hum.. i'm in a running mood... i think i'll go and do that.

i think i'm going through one of those phases where the computer doesn't really appeal to me. I can live with or without it. It's the same cycle everytime... i get online...(dsl.. nahnahnahnahboo boo......) get on aim... check my mail... talk to the same ppl everytime.. and the funniest thing... ppl IM at an order... like.. this person IMs me then another person... but it's almost the same order everytime...haha...then.. when i feel like it i update my blog. I check my other email accounts...and whatnot.. and then i do whatever else i feel like doing. You know the craziest thing lately.. i've been driving w/out my glasses for about a month....and i nearly killed myself on monday... when it was raining really hard... i was driving.. and all of a sudden it started raining really really hard and i couldnt see a thing.. i was driving totally blind. Luckily.. i made it home safely....supposedly i'm getting my eye appointment this saturday... but my dad said that last week... and the week b4.. so i dunno.. hopefully soon.. that way the roads will be a safer place for everyone. *sigh* notice my entries get shorter and shorter... (sorry jack... very disappointing huh?) anyways.. i'm always never busy... so if anyone has any bright ideas... tell me..

I'm home from Mexico, after six days in the sweltering heat, suffering the mosquito attacks and the lack of air conditioning, i'm finally home. hahahahahaha.... actually Mexico wasn't like that at all. Sure, it was hot.... the first day we were there.. but then after that day, the weather was good to us and wow, it was actually nice. (and Amen to Mrs. Chu's prayers) Of course there was rain the first 3 days of construction, but i had a blast rolling around in the mud and pushing vans that got stuck. (mud baths are awesome..... it's my second love...haha..) Oh, and the mosquitos..... well i guess u get use to them, at least i did.....the least to say, i didn't get 47 or whatever bites like somebody...(ahem... michelle..ahem) and i don't have any blood infections..... All in all the whole trip was a blast. All of the challenges we faced....everything.... all the negatives and positive aspects made the trip worth it. I wouldn't have traded this week for anything. All i have to say for this week is that i'd give all the glory to God for all the great experiences, the companionship, the friendships, the leaders, the evangelism, and for anything else that i missed =) It's been bittersweet coming home but i hope the sweetness will be drawn out..peace out

okay all you ophelia blog fans. I'm back after a week of no update. My computer has been wacking out....i think it's ill and suffering some major issues..i guess the biggest problem is that it's a compaq....wait that's not the biggest problem....the biggest problem would be that i have windows 98. *sigh* u cant live with or w/o a comp...Moms can be such psychos some times......(gahhh... i have to stop this excess period use habit...bad bad.) sorry random thoughts, my brain hasn't been used too much, that's also a bad thing. On the back of my mind i'm always thinking of studying SATs... but....ahhh.. time is always such a big issue. I need to use my time wisely (eek.. sounding more and more like certain person i know) and oh, ouch, my thumb has a huge blister on it from struming my guitar w/o a pick, also not very smart on my part. I need to get a pick very soon. Dangit... i have to finish my laundry, i have to wash all of my old elementary years clothing for mexico, they've now officially become my work clothing. It's funny how my little mermaid shirt from second grade still fits me. i love that shirt, it's so kewl!!! Then i have some.. quite holey clothing...haha...but those are throw outs... i need to clean out my closet more, and to think, i haven't moved that long ago=P okay.. i'm gonna go... i have a load of stuff to do...lata
oph

i'm so sad!!!... i'm home sick. I miss the Tri-Cities, i miss everyone there.......=(
i know half of you guys wont believe me but i'm bored. There is nothing really exciting to do in Sugar Land =P There are no mountains or Rivers (that i know of anywayz) around here. There is no skiing or snow or columbia center, uptown center (sorry.. i'm being silly now....), Columbia Snake and Yakima Rivers,Hanford (oh my gosh how i miss school there!!! ahh.. clements sux...)oh, i almost forgot i miss the radiation (i guess polution is a compensations huh?), i also miss horn rapids (Avalon cannot compare... there are no ducks here), then i must add there is no Benton County Fair (there is astro world and the rodeo....incomparable) . *sigh* i'm tired of the humidity... but most of all i miss dailing these numbers:
375-3002
375-1673
375-6042 (okay... now this one i miss dailing..hehe.....u get it rite? Those of u who ever called my house)
628-8808
628-3969
627-0325
946-0675
and sorry... to those of u whose number i didn't call enuf..hehe.. don't worry.. i didn't "forget" you... i still miss ya..=)
Wow.. c.. now how could you possibly not miss those things? ^_^

So many memories so many miles
the road that stretches behind us
we've had some laughter and our share of tears
but all these moments unite us
i'll be your friend for a lifetime
against the wind and the rain of every season
wont walk away in the hard times
I will be your friend
I'm saying I will be your friend
Sure as the river runs to the sea
High as the mountain that reaches
you were there by my side till the end
and helped me onto my feet again
I'll be your friend for a lifetime
agains the wind and the rain of every season
wont walk away in the hard times
i will be your friend
i'm saying, i will be your friend

Michael W. Smith

This summer so far has been... well at the least unreal and dream-like...*sigh* so many things have been too perfect, and for me a bit undeserving. It's been one of those moments where you just want time to stop. For once, i dont want school to start. When ur younger, you get bored with summer and want school to start, but when the school year actually starts, you wish it was summer. Well, now..... i just want summer to last forever, who cares about being bored. WOW!!!
Now that i think about it, summer has gone by so fast. First i went back for graduation, then i'm gonna go to sea world, then mexico.. .a few weeks later camp... and after that.. it's all over... when is there time for anything... ( i constantly hear the nagging of parents to study for SATs) well... so i've heard that junior year is insane... but through all the insaneness it should be fun... and lets hope that is the case for ophelia..hehe..
ok.. now i'm just feeling a lil bored...everyone is out vacationing... no body is calling me... and whenever i'm online there's never really anyone to talk to. I think i'm about ready to stop wasting time and be more productive. By the way.. if u read this recommend me some really really worth while songs to download. ooo.. maybe i'll watch Legend of Zu now... Louis Koo is in it.. so obviously it's gonna be a sweet movie... nevermind if there isn't a plot.. i'll be too busy swooning...^_^
fruit roll ups are really really good and fresh prince of belaire is so funni..hehe....(highlites of my day..but boooo cyndi left..=() okay.. 88 peaceout

*double sigh*.... u tri-cities homies who say THAT WORD!!! must STOP!!!! It bugs the heck outta me...haha... but at the same time it's quite funny...haha... anywayz... i'm home now.. yes.. my other home..haha.. not my "real" one.. i miss everyone so much already (again....) but i think going back for a short time wuz just wut i needed. I guess it was all in planning to help me realize how tight my buds and i truely are and always will be. You hear ppl say that they'll be friends forever but i know for a fact that no one will be friends forever if the Lord is not the Lord of them. As Mike W. Smith said "Friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them". I guess for me coming back again just made me realize how strong of a bond i have with my 4 musketeers..(haha.... only we get it!!!) I've been a bit too blessed beyond words can express. In the rest of my lifetime i will never find the friends that that i love and appreciate now. I don't mind sharing that with u all becuz i hope everyone finds that special unique "circle of friends" (GO A.P.O.G) in their lifetime. It's like falling in love... it's more specially if u only do it once... only have this special bond once. It's great let me tell u and i know for a fact that there arent' many ppl out there who've experienced wut we have. I wish i could describe this bond, this feeling to all of u but it's too beyond words and comprehension, but definately worth sharing. So that's as much as can be described.... have a good nite... and i gotta say...everytime i walk outside... i feel like i'm in a suana.....

*sigh*... this summer is awesome.. haha.. maybe cuz i'm hanging out with the worlds best people.... yeop..i'm in washington still.... yes... these 2 weeks have been great.... but sadly i'll be returning to texas in a few days..=( but cyndi is coming with me so that'll be kewl.. we'll have great fun and watch star wars (the old ones..hehe).. yea i saw attack of the clones yesterday... it was great. i really liked it... it was a good movie... but i gotta give it to Yoda.. whoa.. wow... yea.. his little fighting dealio made my five bucks way worth it...Yoda is my hero...while the movie was great, what happened wasn't as kewl...hehe.. i was watching the movie when suddenly the lens on my glasses popped out... first of all i couldn't see very well.. secondly, i couldn't find the lens. I'd lost it like... 3 or 4 times throughout the movie but then... after the 4th time... the lens never came back... this really hott guy even helped me look for my lens... but nope... no sign of it. o well.. it's alrite.. guess i'll have to get new glasses... and u know the funniest thing is i had a nitemare about losing my glasses.. it was so scary.. this little boy... who was quite round was walking in the theaters when he suddenly sat down on my lens... and popped it... and i was screaming... "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" haha.. kinda dumb.... but u know when u're dreaming it always seems so much more scarier....know wut i just realized? i'm movie deprived.... i haven't seen so many movies.. i think i'm just gonna have a movie fest sometime this summer...just to catch up on my deprived movie life..hehe.. okay.. well.. i'm gonna go and have myself sum fun...i get to run the cable bridge tomorrow!!..woohoo!...lata..

4) Mexican plumbers...(grrr.. wake me up at 10 am)
5) car humpers
6) ppl who mysteriously show up at my house... (girl scouts)
7) ppl who repeat themselves all the time thinking that i didn't get the message the first time
.......but the truth is.. nothing really bothers me... i'm always in too good of a mood for anything to knock my day off... but anywz.. i think i'll go finish writing my thanx cards.. i'll prolly update in a while.. toodles

okay.. i'm back... like any of u guys will be reading this anytime soon..hehe.. okay.. well i'll be hanging with my washington homies tomorrow.. ahhhh.. i've waited 8 months for tomorrow... and the day finally comes...hehe... well.. texas isn't bad.. but washington rules...hehe...well.. the worst part about going back is that i have to get up at 5 tomorrow.. get to the airport by like.. uh.. 6 or 7..ek.... i hate getting up that early.. especially during the summa... but hey.. it's well worth it for where i'm going... anywayz.it's late now.. and i really should get sum sleep... oh.. and Howie.. uh.. u left me a lot of messages.. and i never got back to you.. hope u have more fun at baylor and eat more food!!!... maybe someday i'll call ya.. haha.. okay... well peace out guys and have a ton of fun during the summa.. i'll update sometime .... lovs yas
