Friday, ur just one day away

Alright so, what's new ... hum. Not much. I'm learning about easy stuff in Math, Science ... I forgot xD , Language I'm learnign suffixes atm, Bible I'm learnign about the Fall of man, and History I'm learning about ..... umm..... Egyptian old kingdoms I believe.

Besides school ... Tommorow is Friday!! Which is a bittersweet day considering that it's the last day of school for the week, and then youth group at night ^___^ But then there's the fact that i don't get to go on the comp. on the weekends so yea xD

Anyways, Maybe I might be able to finally wear the plaid shirt I bought tommorow with the new jewlry. Altho im scared cuz the pink earring hoops look big XD

anddd times up on the computer. Aii , Cya

um no?

Today I practiced more with the guitar. It's pretty painful playing it . Especially when I have to have all four fingers on four frets holding down at the same time. If you don't hold it down like your about to die then it sounds terrible :P I'm having some difficulity when i have to do that at the first four frets but I'll get the catch of it soon.

I'm listening to Leeland, Tears of the Saints ^___^ It's an awesome song. For some reason it sometimes makes me want to cry too x) I really love their band :D Maybe when I save up enough money I'll be able to buy their new cd which is their first :D It jsut came out on Tuesday I believe.

I actually don't hate the beginning of school. It's easy and interesting :D Its just later on when it gets harder and boring xP I'm planning to be a good girl this school year and actually do my projects , PLUS have them on time. It's about time I'd be responsible in school. I'm going to really try my best and study, take notes, & not be lazy. Sure, maybe I won't use w/e i learn in school but atleast this is what God would want me to do n__n

Now im listening to another song x) from Brandon Heath, I love this song too. I'm memorizing i t so maybe i can actually sing it in the next open mic coffee shop at church :) I'm sure I'll be able to waiter and do one song :P I asked how it went last cofee shop and it went great! So that's awesome. And the worship team went up on the open mic and sang and played guitar so it sounds liek they had fun. I'm definately going to become a waiter and go.

Well, I got like 7 minutes left on the computer so I'm going to go play some games hehe

Dance ----

Ah well, School started and yea .... So far its alright :D

My IOWA test grades FINALLY came and im happy with all the results except social studies. That one was the one I was worrying about and I was right to worry cuz i got like only half of it right XD

Besides that .... well I gotta ask my parents if I could be able to help in the coffeshop at church :D We are making a smal coffeshop and its going to be awesome x) I'm hoping to be a waiter. They even have our youth group logo on the aprons so it's going to be great ^__^

anyways I must take pictures of my new stuff and show my friends x)

Umm.... let's see All day basically has been school, listening to music, talking to friends, playing games , and eating lol Fun fun


O and there is worship team pratice tonight, woohoo.
I'm going to play some more games and try and beat this highscore :P

- huh - ya don't say ...

Well, Two days ago was my mum's bday and we had a suprise bday party.
I got ten dollars and some small hoops from my aunt angie as a very late birthday gift x)

Now I just gotta go to Target so I can buy teh sanctus real cd!!!! ^______^

Hm, the internet suddenly started to have seizures at around 3 pm and now that I shut of all the comps cept mine its working o__O

Brian is getting on the comp right now so if it dies again then ... i dunno.

Today my mom told me to make her necklace into a bracelet o___O so yea .. did that lol then she burned it with a match at the end to stick the string secure.
I made a necklace and a ring ... planning on making a bracelet. I just really need to use all my beads lol
DOH! Forgot I had to paint my clay earrings geez

Anyways ... I dunno what to write today. Besides that tommorow is Youth group, yay :)

Well, I need to do alot of stuff so Adios.

Rampage

I just wrote a word I just heard and made it into the title alright? :P
Im listening to the previews of Sanctus real's new cd. GOSH It sounds sooooo awesome. Im def. saving up for it. I especially think "Eloquent" is going to be my fav. The rest are awesome too geeezzzzz. :)
The songs I've heard fully are "Don't give up" & "I'm not Alright".
LOVE them both so much ^__^
I have their last cd but this one is like ----------- i can't even describe it xD Can't wait to get it!

On another note ... uh I at a HUGE orange this week hehe And last week too. I didn't get my usual allergic reaction or w/e it is. Atleast not AS bad. It did get pink tho >__<

O and I'm going to the Church sleepover tonight ^______^ ima stay up lateeeee w00t lol My Dad let me go since I researched more on the info and told him it :)
I hope we get to go to starbucks x3
Ack, I gotta pack my stuff to see what i gotta bring.
Ima make a list right now .____.

Uh let's see ...

1. Toothpaste and Toothbrush
2. Hair brush
3. Pillow and blanket
4. Camera and Cellphone
5. A bandaid ( xD )

I think thats about it. Its gonna feel wierd not having anything to snuggle with x) I'll just stick both hands under my pillow instead of the usual one then ... lol

Hm, I found my Colombian Journal so I'll post that errr soon.

In other news, Some WONDERFUL girl is giving me a domain and hosting me. Gosh she rocks. And so does her dad for letting her do it hehe
Two other of my girl friends were "fighting" with other so that they could host me haha But I told them that Tara ( the one giving me a domain AND hosting me) already was going to :)

Gosh its so dark over here :/ I wonder if the people going to the concert are going to be able to go even tho it will probably rain over there. It sure is going to rain over here.

I've had alot to write about lately haven't I? o___O These posts are long :eek:
Well, anyways, I better go. Bye ^__^

//edit//
oh my gosh BRian is so dumb. He wants to go to the sleepover now *rolls eyes* geeee ima smack him when he gets home -__-

Potable~

I forgot to post what I was writing yesturdayyy. Anyways here it is Cuz I wrote alot and I dont to edit it *snickers* Ya lazy bum!

"Potable means pure water xD It was in my vocabulary list today and I thought the word sounded nice lol

Alright, onto the er new/useless information. Today i will FINALLY record the podcast unless I have to go to work with my mom. That'd screw it up cause' today is the best day to record for us all.
My friend Hannah and Izzy are doing it with me soooo I won't be the only american accent now :) bwha Now izzy is the only British accent. But we all have very different voices so it'll be super easy to tell who is who. ^__^

Mmm besides that I need to get more information about the sleepover this friday for Dad cuz without more info he can't make a decision apparently -__- Atleast I got him to think about it instead of him completely telling me no just cause' Brian doesnt want to go. But I told my parents i didnt think it was fair that just cuz Brian isnt going it rules out me ever having a chance so ... I thought that was absolutely not fair.

So, I'll see how that goes. I don't expect to go ...

Anyway, Yesterday we had practice for the worship team and we learned about 4 new songs :eek:
There were some that were higher than some of us wanted to go :P But Jenny is awesome and she sung it in a different tone so some people can sing it like her or harmonize ^__^ I do both ... but if I dont want to kill my throat I'll go with Jenny."

Anywho, I never got to record the podcast cuzzzz I had to go to my mum and brother's work. So looks like the next day we could do it isss two mondays away -___-"

Alright, I must get back to school. I have some long lessons to attend to xD Bye ~

- sings -

Erm well, my internet is dumb :P Um yea ... so I hop Brian fixes it cuz it keeps going down .__.

I am listening to classical music right now. Its so dramatic ^__^
Anyways, Sides' that I am window shopping online xD Gee so much pretty stuff.

Just changed music xP Jazz now ... bwahha
Hmm ... so let's see ... I got practice tonight. This fri. we arent going to the concert OR sleepover ;__;
anyways ... School is ending soon thankfully but we are also moving so I gotta set apart a bunch of my stuff for a garage sale.

Right now I'm attempting to draw a paintball dude but ermm... I dunno if it'll come out good lol Its worth a shot tho.

I was going to write something but I forgot xD So I'll write tommorow :P

¿Cómo?

Alright sooooo let's see what's new.
Well. Right now I need to pay my parents a total of $22.00
And I got 5 dollars so It'll be $17.00 dollars i gotta pay since I need to pay my cellphone bill of last month and I bought turtle food ... eh.
I'm hoping to get atleast 5 dollars from this other person so then I'd have to pay 12 dollars left.
I guess I'm going to have to work aroudn the house and earn some money x__x.

This friday is uh youth group of course :P Mm and next friday me and Brian aren't going to the concert but if enough people don't go to the concert then they might have service too. I dunno tho I think everyone is going cept' us. It's all Brian's fault x|

o I need to go to starbucks cuz i still haev a $10 gift card! :D I hope i go soon, i wanna try that caramel frappachino again ;3

K besides that ... Been drawing (what's new?) and I'll post some drawings i did this month and some i did just today :o hehe

Eek, there is thunder over here again. How ugly the sky becomes when it's dark. But we really need the rain.

Anywho, tis' 6 o clock and I must get off.

- blah -

ALright so right now im trying to think of topics for a podcast I am going to do for a forum i go to.

Problem is, Im not even half way done with the general script and we are supposed to record tommorow o___O
I hope I think of stuff in time.

Anyways, here are some random things to look at xD

^ photograph outside my dad's work.


^ something i made in Flash. It was a quick drawing.

I'll upload another drawing i did some other time. Right now I cann't really type to well cuz while I type this in blogger it has a SUPER weird font o__O it goes away when I publish it but right now it's bugging me so lol
till' some day - cya

Hmm

I just felt like typing something lol

Well the internet is slowly getting better and so Brian switched the router to the old one thats not wireless.
So far it hasn't gone out while being on it BUT it won't let me upload anything O________O" I really need to upload stuff. So I hope everything works out tommorow ;__;

Well, Right now I'm just PSing and playing KOF 2002. Hopefully I'll be able to draw some of the characters and make that clay scuplture lol
Yea ... I'm def. going to be drawing once i get off the comp :D

hmm besides that. Practice got moved to this Thursday due to drummer related thing.
I think this Friday we are having youth group in our regular small place instead of going into the big church. I hope we do it in the youth room cuz I hate being on stage :)

I am super tired right now. I think I make take a nap and then draw... i dunno *yawn*

What else .... well I changed my wallpaper x3 Its super adorable. Anddd I finally get to wear a outfit that I haven't worn cuz it needed sowing cuz the shirt was a tad big :) Thanks to my mom she sowed it ^__^

Well, that was useless information but um thats ok because I just wanted to type before my last minutes on teh computer were used :P

Cya ~

man

Well, today isnt going too well.

My internet keeps going out and It's being a tard x___x

*sigh* anyways. I'm drawing a kitty right now. Someone asked for this ... she was very specific and doesnt seem too nice o___O i dunno, maybe she is but w/e.

Anyway, today me, Brian and my mom set up a webcam to surveillance the info tube (the place where you put the information about the house when you are selling it) since it seems that someone is stealing the fliers we put in there.
so hopefully the webcam will catch the crook in the act bwahaha :)

and so .. yea lol Tommorow is youth group and supposedly the worship team is going to play in the big church :O That includes the singers, which includes me o____o"
Ok .... I think I'll do fine .... i dunno ... lol It's not that big of a deal but It's just the fact of being on stage and people are listening.
But w/e tommorow I'm excited to go to youth group and stuff but its going to suck cuz I'd be grading my school subjects all day >__<
o well. blehh I've gone thru worse.

Besides that, I'm going to finally bake all my earrings which is on the first part of teh whole work :P Then for the white clays I gotta paint em and then for all of em I gotta stick the wire thru the loop and put em on the earring hanger. For some of em I'm going to have to make small wire circles and link em so that they dangle better O__O; That'll take awhile :P

Let's see... waht else could I type? I dunno I just feel like typing lol I need a break from staring and drawing on the computer ^^"
I think I'll post the two ipods i made n Flash for two people. THey are basically the same except differnt colors and the blue one i actually shaded :)
= thats the shaded one.
= non shaded.
I like it shaded.

O and look at this icon : xD I found it on a site. I dunno what movie that is but thats hilarious xP
And this one is funny/cute :

Alright, I think I'm going to stop writing so that whoever just read this (if they haven't passed out yet) can do better things than read a pointless blog xP

Later ~

P.S. The internet went down like three times before i finshed this

Shroom

- random title -

Shroom is short for Mushroom btw. lol

Anyways, Summer is coming soooonnnn.

And well, I've been busy drawing and drawing. Especially since a lady who owns a forum I go to asked me to draw her 10 images for her and she'll pay me :) So yea, I'm trying to make them carefully and well done.

Other than that .... there is practice tonight with the worship team. So, I'm going of course lol I can't wait to learn the other songs ^__^

O yea, and I'm scuplting more clay. I should bake em right after I make my last earring. I'm going to have lots of earrings xD
I have to get more colored clay that is bakeable because it's so much easier that way lol I'm not the best at painting ^^"

Well, I'm going to eat breakfast now.

Sick days stink

Tis' the second day of spring break and been able to draw lots of stuff.
Besides that I've been working on my website so I can finally update it ^__^"

Oh my gosh, this morning I woke up at 3:00 to go blow my nose and I almost stepped on a live cocaroach that was on the floor :O ewwww.
I sprayed it with Raid and it died so that's good.

yea so this is pretty much a super quick post since I have absolutely no idea what to write about :P

O yeaa

Spring break is here ^___^
O geez, this morning i woke up at 6:50 and was so excited that i actually got up :P I usually just slap the alarm clock and go back to bed.
Right now I'm just taking a break from drawing sigs x__x Thank goodness I'm not my brother and have like 500+ people ask for one.

And yea ... lol

I need to get my sit layout up and running. I just need to edit all the pages >.<
Besides that i need to make emoticions for my site lol I have alot of more drawing to do.

Life right now ...

Well, I'm going to take a break of writing from my journal cuz i have to type a lot xD

Whats new over here is ... hmm..

My 6 yr. old cuzin Brianna slept over on Saturday. That was ... interesting ...
I found out she was sleeping over that same night :P So when she came I set up her bed and stuff. I didn't sleep much at all that night x.x
I fell asleep at around 12:40 am because (1) I was sooo hot. The aircondition wasn't on or something :P (2) I couldn't find a comfortable spot (3) Brianna breathes through her nose realllyyyyy loud lol

And guess who woke me up at 6:30 am? O yes , Brianna. She just started to move me so i could wakeup and i could see her get up from her bed and leave the room to see if anyone was awake. Of course, she didn't go up to their beds and try and wake em up like she did too me x___o

I didn't get off the bed till around 8. I was awake anyways tho, I just tried to go back to sleep. But that didnt work out too well since Brianna kept trying to wake me up. And if I wake up and fall asleep too many times i get a headache ... dunno why, but I tried to prevent that from happening.

It was good for excercising that patience ;P Plus i got 10 bucks :P

Which I needed cuz I have some expenses that i need to pay.

(1) Cellphone bill of last month = $15
(2) Turtle food = $12
(3)Turtle UVA light = $8

Grand total of = $35 :O
I only have 5 dollars left :P

well geez, thats getting too long to read lol ill write another time ;P

Day 3

Day 3 ---- Baranquilla,Columbia –Tuesday

Imagine having those phone telemarketers who call
everyday a billion times be real life people in your face. Well, over
here, you just walk on the side walk & get like 10 ppl trying to
sell you something! Goodness.

Anyways, last night everyone slept so much better
than the building before. But we moved apartments once again. This
time we are staying for awhile. Probably around 5 days. This apartment is huge & awesome! Here are some
pictures :

Me and Brian's room

I really liked that rug lol

Plus, Mom and Dad say it has water ;) Thats the best part hehe.
This morning we had to shower in cold water again :|
But, thankfully no more of that here. And so far, there are no advertiser salesmen on the street.

*later that day*

Today we met Martha, Vikcy, & Rita again. :D We haven't seen em since the airport. Tom. we all will hang out & maybe go to the mall.
I know we are planning to go to the beach sometime.
Well, I'll write tommorow!

- Giselle 2/14/06

Start fresh

Right, so I'll start fresh on here ^_^ Well the first post will be about my First day in Coloumbia! Here it is, it's from my journal i kept while i was there :P

Day 2 ---- Cartagena,Columbia – Monday

Yesterday in the plane I had a delicious dessert
^__^

But Yesterday was bad. The “hotel” was
an apartment place hence why they call em aparta-hotels. Anyways, we had to wait foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr only to come to have
to sleep in a room that was badd bad. Noone wanted to use the
blankets that the room came w/ so we used our towels :P

Buttons (my dog plushie) & a small towel were
the only things keeping me from freezing cuz of the darn aircondition
and windows. *Which btw, we think is the source of me getting
sick later on*

Skipping to today, This morning I showered in COLD
water, um , and I had to wash my hair aswell .... aii O_O”

Breakfast was awesome tho, and not to mention
cheap. I don't get why people say “not to mention” cuz
they mention it ... doesn't make sense BUT I'm off subject lol

Anyways, for breakfast I had a ham sandwhich w/
cheese, lettuce ,tomatoe & I think that is all. For drink I had
good ol' natural orange juice.

So let's see ... Most of the day we were just
looking for another place to stay just for tonight, we found a good
one :) Only thing is I dunno if there is hot water -_-;;

Anyways, at around 2:30 pm we left on a taxi to
eat lunch. Guess how much it cost? It cost $2 per plate! That's
cheap. We ate on the 2^nd floor. That stair case was soo
steep. When I was going up I hit my knee on the next step, that's how
steep it was, if that makes sense.

Anyways, the lunch was great. I had rice, salad,
ground beef, mash potatoes & and a drink called Coloumbiana. One
bad thing happened tho ... I spilled the soda on me -_-”
Atleast it was only on my shorts and it dried up by the time I was
finished eating :P

So moving on, bla bla bla happened (walking
mainly) and then we took a taxi for a tour all around Cartagena. Once
that was over we headed back to the aparta-hotel. After a little bit
we went out again. We took a horse cart ride around, yep, another
tour. When the ride was over we walked around. I saw the saddest
thing ... there was a little kid sleeping outside on the sidwalk and
all he has was a cardboard box he was using as a “sleepingbag”.
I've seen poor skinny dogs on the street, but a kid no older than 10
... poor kid.

So, that was my day. We are watching tv right now.
Things are soooo different here.

I keep waking up forgetting we aren't in the U.S.
It's hard to get used to speaking spanish at all times. Spanish is
meant to spoken from my mouth but English usually comes out ;P

--- Giselle 2/13/06

that was long enuff ;) I'll be writing each day in one post ^_^ Well, till later... cya
