"SHHHHH!!!!"

If I ever hear "SSSHHH!!!" or if I have to say "SHHH!!!!" one more time, I'm seriously going to punch someone!


WHY??

Here's a short story: For our summer church retreat, we stayed at a house/inn at Breckenridge and Breck has a lot of rules. One rule is that we can't go over capacity. Their capacity for this particular house was like 15-20 people? BUT we had a lot more..like 55ish. So, we HAD to be quite and be alert because we wouldn't know if or when the owner will drop by. So, the whole time the leaders and I have been saying "SHH!!" because the youth were getting a bit too loud every two minutes! UGH!! Freakin.. -____- it's all over BUT after saying it so much, it's driving me crazy!

2. workshop prep
3. mission trip prep
4. mission trip for two weeks
5. summer retreat prep
6. summer retreat
7. school prep
8. early morning service/prayer
9. workout
10. church
11. camping

so..that's basically all the things all I'll be doing until August 16..ish


I've been getting my headaches again..which means that I've reached my unhealthy limit FML

Time to really start my life change!!


I'll try to post the things I've been doing, but I think I might just do one huge post on summer when I'm done with everything :/



until then...

DON'T SAY IT IS SO!!! plus Memorial Day

SHOPPING HAS TO BE MY GREATEST DOWNFALL

Today was the last day of real shopping..
I won't be able to buy makeup or clothes or shoes..NOTHING!!
only the essentials like food and gas.

WHY?

June 10th is going to be my last day of working before my "VACATION"
I asked my store manager for two months off during the summer because I have MANDATORY things that I have to do.
1) VBS (Vacation Bible School)
2) Peru Mission Trip
3) Church summer retreat

I would go to work in between events, BUT I would only be working 1-2 weeks and none of my co-workers would like that..even though they don't care. The district manager wouldn't like it so...the store manager said that I could come back when fall semester starts.

So, I need to save the money for bills..and more bills sigh



I think this is my punishment or lesson from God... :[

oh well hahaha




On Memorial Day, my parents and youngest brother and I went to Estes Park.
I was debating whether I should go or not, but I haven't spend a lot of time with my family so I decided to go.

My brother and I rode go-karts, bumper boats, bumper cars, and mini golfed with dad.









My brother is really good!! He got two hole in ones!!
But mini golf turned into mini hockey hahaha

I tried this trampoline thingy and it was pretty scary haha
Little kids can jump higher and do flips and turns and I only thing I can do is jump and scream..I'm such a wuss hahaha




We came back home earlier than expected, so my parents showed me these model homes they really liked and then we ate some really tasty ribs..yum :]

support....spending spree..future..

My sister's accountability group at church and I are doing a diet together.
I'm so excited!
I'm finally getting the support I need and I'm not in this alone!
It's VERY HARD to diet by yourself. I tried countless times, but I always end up giving up in the middle and gaining everything back.
I need to find time in my schedule to work out too...
My goal is to be able to wear size 4-6 pants.
I think that's reasonable for girls tall like me.
I want to be toned too and slim legs...I hate running though!! Maybe I should jump rope?? But what if I get taller?!?! :O
I'm not too worried about weight numbers because...it's going to depend on muscle and stuff..as long as I can fit in a size 4, I'll be happy :]

Being part of an accountability group is great!
I never had true girl friends before..
For those who don't know what accountability group is, it's a group where you can rant, talk about your problems/struggles, support each other, and have fun.
All of us in the group are in college, and most of us are leaders at church. We don't have much time to talk to each other because we're in different groups and don't have time to really sit down and talk..so, it's nice to have sisters to talk to. Also, because it's a church group, our center focus is God.

I think it's a great idea for everyone to be in an accountability group, whether it's at church, school, neighborhood, or friends. No one wants to do anything by his or herself. It's hard and we see ourselves stumble many times, but with good friends, you can reach your goals! So, instead of saying and writing down goals and resolutions, how about taking that step and doing them?

Everyone is always talk talk talk. But those who succeed are the ones that get up and DO SOMETHING!!



Anyway....as a side note..
My friend and I decided on the name sisterhood of the traveling bible, but all the other girls didn't like it. I thought it was pretty cool hahaha so, we're still thinking of a cool name..any suggestions??



Have you guys seen Kim Kardashian's new body?!?!?!
OMG!!


it's a body to die for!!!
One of these days this year, I will FINALLY have the body I wanted for so many many years!!


I also bought $265 of MAC products online...crazy??? I guess you could say that.
BUT I'm a MACaholic!!!
I recently started to collect MAC..I guess you could say it's a hobby?
I think I ordered about 20 things: 1 brush, 1 Eye Kohl, 1 Mineralize Blush, 1 Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, 1 eyeshadow palette, and 15 eyeshadows.
NO I AM NOT BRAGGING!! IT'S CALLED I HAVE A JOB AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO HATE, GO GET A JOB YOURSELF, BUY YOUR OWN STUFF, AND STOP BEING JEALOUS!!
(The caps are not necessary, but there are just some people who never learn -___-)

I could be a makeup artist, but it's not realistic due to my cultural background. Darn Asian parents!!!
My parents always told me to do this and do that. I'm the oldest child in the family and on my mom's side, so I feel like I the duty to make them happy.
I don't even know what I like to this day...I don't know what I'm passionate for.
I was thinking of studying to be a pediatrician because I love kids, but will I like it in the future?
I don't want to regret anything..
I want to do something that helps people, but I don't necessarily have to be a doctor...I'm hoping I'll find the answer soon because I feel like time is running out... :/



OH and please pray for Haiti and do as much as you can to help!!
They need your help!!



Don't forget to enter for the giveaway and contest!!!
I forgot to mention this, but I'll be adding extra goodies for each winner! Tell your friends and fellow bloggers :]

Labor Day BBQ



I went to church like always on Sundays...
It was nice to see my lovely brothers and sisters today :]
After service, we went to the park for a Labor Day BBQ.
I thought it was going to be a full out BBQ, but it turned out to be a pizza and sandwich party.
We played tennis,, basketball, volleyball...everyone just did their own thing.
We were there for like...5-6 hours??
The weather was nice so it was great :]



P.S. I hate boys so much right now! Dx
I don't think I'm going to date anyone for a while.. >_<
