1. I find it extremely obnoxious when people whistle and honk at you when you are walking down the street.
2. I find myself feel like crying when watching the olympics. Wtf?! ahahaha
3. I decided that I am strong and no boy will make me feel like crying/ugly/depressed etc. I am who I am, and God deemed me beautiful.
4. High heel boots make my legs look long lean and SEXY.
5. They also make me feel sexy as well. And more confident aha.
6. I need to censor my mouth more
and finally 7. I am sleeping wayy to late when I need to wake up early. Bad esther, Bad esther.
Anddd another one. 8.
Girls tend to be much more flakey when boys get into the equation. That's one good thing about the stupider gender- boys (sorry boys :p) They almost always don't tend to fight over girls, like we do. They don't get catty and nasty because of girls. We should learn from them in that one area. Aha.
So, anybody else in denial about eh upcoming school year about to unfold? I know that I am. To the MAXXX. Gosh, am I dreading this Junior Year. I just wish I wasnt taking such challenging classes. I mean, I like challenge and I know that I can take it, it's just that mindless dread that comes when you dno't know exactly what you are up against, but heard lots of horror stories about this year. Aha.
I love Paramore. Hayley is THE girl baby. She makes me being a girl proud. And her orange hair. I want it.
*cringes at my randomness. Sorry guys. :p*
Anyways, I have been out and about, trying to play catch up with others by playing the last remaining days of summer. I gotta live it up this summer seeing that Jr. Year Imma have no free time it seems.
I'll have some very bad pictures of me up soon. Almost all of them I think are candid shots of me doing stupid stuff at a bonfire I went to this saturday. Speaking of that, the bonfire was brilliant. I rode the bike so much- I think about for 4 hrs, I am not sure how long of the distance- I think I bruised my crotch. No, I don't think I did bruise my crotch. And when that is taken out of context, it sounds so ridiculous. And wrong.
Keep praying for my friend. She's coming back from retreat today and I'd hate to see her be so broken again. Thank you guys. You really are amazing. :D
And I got a new layout. Just wondering- is it too bright? What do you people think??
LOVE YOU!! Cannot wait until I get to watch the opening ceremony!!
More strict impending time limit! aha.
1. Be a KICK ASS in Lacrosse and ROCK AT IT. as in become a varsity STARTER this year.
2. FInish my Summer assignment with time to spare
3. READ BREAKING DAWN.
5. Persuade my parents that I am not a kid anymore and they can't parent me like I'm in Elementary Schools. That won't make up for the lost time.
6. Run 8 miles
7. Have a cookout/ bake out
8. Movie marathon
9. Clubbing
10. Skinny dipping. for sure.
11. Go to San Diego
12. FINALLY get my freakin License
14. Stop being so sadistic and cynical during my depressed moments
15. Study for SATs. ew. ahaha
16. Do something reckless. Just for the heck of it.
17. Honestly, this is probably most important one- Reconciliation of my relationships: my parents, my sister, my lost friends, myself, and most importantly, GOD.
18. Visit the places that I lived in.
19. Clean out my closet and put it in order. Make it look all pretty. aha
20. Go on a trip by myself. WIthout any connection to outside world.
21. HAVE SEX.!JUST KIDDING. TOTALLY KIDDING. XD
22. And post up more things to do that I can cross out before Summer ends.
YEAH. I'm on my way. XD
OMG THE DARK KNIGHT.
I finally watched it. ABOUT TIME! ahahaha.
And I finally hanged out with my bestie. My day was pretty damn brilliant. I liked it a lot.
We went to a nearby mall that's rather huge at like 10. Then we went to sephora. I decided to apply purple- yes purple. sparkly too!- eyeliner. I was really surprised I looked HOT in it. ahahaha. Then we sampled everything in the store- just the two of us because it was so freakin early on a summer day. AHAHA.
Dark Knight was BRILLIANT. Heath Ledger, my God. What more praise could be said about him then that has already been said? He was absolutely spectacular. Wow. He left me speechless- and I couldn't help but think throughout the movie what a shame. What a shame that such an amazing actor had to go so early.
And then yogurtberry. They are the most cheapest thing ever which taste fantastic as well. And for lunch, my bestfriend who is a vegetarian decided to eat a stuffed pizza with cheese broccolli and spinachie. I can't spell that. Aha. It sounds disgusting but it was delicious. And I had a baked ziti. SO GOOD.
Yeah. Yay for amazing day and making lots of friendship bracelet. Me likey. <3
Stolen from Winniewang- my lj friend and real life friend. She's actually the one who is doing link crew with me. Check her out. She's pretty chill. Full asian, but she has like light brown hair and HAZEL eyes. WTF. Makes me jealous. Aha.

i have miss you all, so PLEASE talk to me!!!
The theme of the camp was Encounter, and I really encountered God. And those who have encountered God are NEVER the same anymore. So I fully want to change. Through this retreat, God spoke to me and really just broke my heart because his love - it never ends.And he told me through Gamho Jundo [that's pastor] that don't try so hard to be accepted because I accept you the way you are. Mannnn I just broke down sobbing. That just hit me so hard. I mean how amazing that creator of heaven and earth would accept me, the dirty, bad, selfish girl like me just the way I am? And that he would care so much about me? ohh baby. That's pretty amazing.
Keep me accountable please, Remind me constantly to read the bible, do my quite time and pray because in order to change and be a good Christian, I gotta ran and chase after God. If he does nto call me, then I will call him, like Jacob did and I will be loved because he said that he Loved Jacob but hated Esau.
God bless, and feel his love tonight and tomorrow.
LOVVVEEEE. esther.
gratefulheyurs officially rock my socks off because she got me both mail card and E card. amazing. I LOVERRRR you. =]
