I saved 3 lives!

Yesterday Cassie and I saved a 3 lives each. =) The American Red Cross held a week-long blood drive in the Wilkinson Center. I'm not the biggest fan of needles, but I don't seem to mind them too much. I just feel like there is a large need for blood in the world and as an STD free, healthy person I feel like it is my duty to save lives because so many people can't. After donating blood we sat in the refreshment area for a while and drank some juice and ate some delicious cookies. What kind of cookies you ask? Lorna Doone shortbread cookies. They are delicious. We took a couple packs of cookies for the road and rented "Bee Movie" and made a night of it.
Along with eating cookies and watching a movie, we put on some masks to rejuvinate our lovely faces and then did some other girly stuff (waxed arms etc.) So now, after that lovely friday night, I must get back to school and studying for 3 exams next week! Boo! But it's ok, I'm going to try and be positive because I know it is an amazing blessing to be able to study at BYU.

i love you, in-n-out!

Hello everyone! So, I realize I haven't posted anything in a super long time, so here is something that I thought would be nice to blog about. So I'm pretty sure ya'll know about austin keith. So, he's helping out his brother in Las Vegas for a little while before he leaves for the mish. Anyway, I said to him, "austin keith! Promise me you'll eat an in-n-out burger and call me immediately and tell me what you think!" he agreed. So anyway, he messaged me and told me that he had one and I asked him what he thought. These were his words: "it was good. Wasn't anything special for me though."

WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I definitely took in-n-out burgers for granted when I lived in california. And now that austin keith has told me that they're nothing special, I just want to eat one even more, because I appreciate them!

A few thoughts about in-n-out burgers and why they rock:
1. There aren't so many options that you have to decide what you want. There is the classic burger with or without cheese and if you're really cool you know about animal style.
2. All the ingredients are fresh
3. They always taste exactly how you expect them to: fabulous!

Final thought: next time I step in california, first stop:


IN-N-OUT BURGER

p.s. don't hold a grudge against austin keith, he's still learning. but i'm sure after he's lived in california for 2 years he will appreciate them. =)

beat me. i dare you. =)

Speedtest

so i was looking a blog that ie li belongs to, and found this little thing, so try and beat me. =)

ie ling of calm waters.

i realize i'm graduating in less than two months, but it really is for the good of the house. as you all my now with exception to tisha and natalie [the only people who read my blog who aren't family], wallpaper was invited to stay at our house but it has long overstayed its welcome. i believe that paper has been in my room since my oldest sister was a teenager. so thats a long time.

anyhow, ie li thought it'd be a nice idea to practice her interior design skills and i must say she did an excellent job. i love my new room and it makes me really happy and calm. i guess thats why they call that color calming waters. =) anyway, i wont bore you any longer but here are before and after pix!

response to newport-lovin

i wanted to post a response with a picture, but i guess you can't do that. so this is for ie li anne:

i'm glad you enjoyed yourself! i hope you didn't worry about mei li too much. she was in great hands. i mean, just look at the hard work dad did:

can't wait for 12.12.08

Hey everyone, i thought it'd be nice to post something this afternoon. So, i don't really know what made me think of it, but i decided to look at the cast for the upcoming movie Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. As many of you know, i am a huge fan of this series because it's teeny-bopper, adventurous, fantasy, and love all mixed into one. What teenage girl wouldn't love that? so anyway, i stumbled across this little video from MTV news and i just thought i'd share it with ya'll. it comes out december 12 and i'm hoping to be there opening day in utah i guess...freezing in the snow? haha. anyway, if you haven't read them, do it. I guess i'm just talking to Ie Mei when i say that. so with that, happy sunday! i hope it's restful and fabulous! xoxo. check it

it's official...i'm obsessed

so, i've never really been into american idol, but ever since heartthrob david archuleta entered the competition, i can't help but tune in on tuesday evenings at 8:00 to watch him...over and over again. =) so the first week i saw him, i voted maybe 5 times. the next week it was 10, then 20 and up to 40.

and then, i discovered that i could vote twice as many times if i use mom's phone at the same time. so guess how many times i voted for david archuleta tonight... that's right, 90. haha. no, that is not a typo, that is a nine and a zero. but i will say that i voted 60 times for brook and 80 times for jason castro as well.

i hope that my voting makes a difference. I LOVE YOU, DAVID ARCHULETA!


and p.s. thank you to ie li for "introducing" me to him. =)
