HAWAII PICTURES!!

Aloha!
As most of you know, I went to Hawaii this summer (July 2013). Sadly, my iPod was crashing/malfunctioning while on the trip, so it only saved about 12 of the 50  pictures I took. :(
Here are the best ones - enjoy!



          Here is a gate at Ilolani Palace.
           The colors were so vibrant! 

This was in the "courtyard" of the USS Arizona monument

I think this was taken from our hotel balcony (we stayed at he Hilton Hawaiian Village)

By the bathrooms at the USS Arizona monument

On the hotel grounds (a strip of Waikiki Beach)
This was taken on the first day of our vacation. See the rainbow?

This picture was (obviously) taken on the plane. I was SO exited to finally see Hawaii!

 

Aloha,

School is starting + Happy Labor Day

Hey all and welcome back to school!
One week after Hawaii I headed out for a road trip to Utah. My aunt and uncle (and my cousins) are Christian missionaries there. Their church website is here - check it out!! I love their church so much!
I started school about a week ago. I meant to blog...yet time always slips away from me. About halfway through the summer I promised my mom that if I could redo my room, I would keep it clean.  So far it's worked pretty well! I might post some pics when I'm fully done painting. My cousin and his family went to New York this summer. While there, my cousin (who is 16) entered a Lego contest. He was named one of the 40-some odd winners!!! YAY! He gets to have his Lego creation next to another Lego artist (if that's what you want to call it) in Time Square! This is his SECOND Lego win! Pretty cool!

I'm starting a science class tomorrow. It's going to be hard...but I'm up for the challenge! Since I'm home schooled, my mom was going to buy a curriculum for science. (The science class I took last year is not being offered this year.) I asked if there was any other science class I could take that would be a little more challenging. That is how I got enrolled in the Biola Star classes!

Today consisted of going to Soup Plantation (one of my families favorite restaurants), and then going shopping for some fall/school clothes! (that's always fun!)


bye for now....

My Dad's birthday was yesterday!! hehe!

International Nail Art Day!

Hello!

I learned about International Nail Art Day (August 3) by reading some nail art blogs that I follow.
Here is the first blog I read it on: chalkboard nails!
I did a few manis, but the pics didn't turn out as well as I thought they would.
(they might get included some time in the future...though most likely not.)

Instead of me showing you my nail art, here's what I think....
YOU SHOW ME YOUR NAIL ART!!!!
I'll have a belated INAD post featuring reader's nail art!
(START SENDING ME E-MAILS!!!!!)

Btw: I know e-mailing is totally 'old school' for most of us...but hey, that's how I'm doing it!

You can send your mani or pedi pics and the names of the nail polish etc. you used to everythingangelac@gmail.com!

Can't wait!

Ideas + why I like saying 'hello'....

Hey!

Some of you might be wondering why I always start my posts off with a greeting like hey, aloha, or hello. It's just a simple way of saying, 'Hello, I'm glad you decided to stop by.' I always like to be greeted with a hello or hey.  I'm not sure what just happened to you before you decided to read my blog. Maybe you just became an aunt, or you just broke up with your boyfriend. Just a simple greeting can change someone's mood almost instantly. The hello that you read on here might be your only one of the day. So let me say it again...hello.

Now back to the real reason for this post....

I want this blog to appeal to a wide range of people. I think it's more fun for me and more fun for you if I write about a verity of things. *now comes the fun part* I would like to get YOUR feed back and ideas on what I should write about. Hopefully by doing this, you as a reader will enjoy what I write....because you helped me write it!

If you want to give me ideas for posts read below.

Rules and things:
1. I'm not going to use all of the suggestions
2. Your suggestions will have to be "rated G" (If you don't get what I'm saying, leave a comment)
3. If I can find out more about the topic you have chosen by looking at a website, please include that in your suggestion
4. You can either leave your suggestion in a comment or e-mail me at everythingangelac@gmail.com


Also, please comment or e-mail me any questions you may have!

Peter Pan - Ballet Style!

Hey!
So last night was my last performance of the Peter Pan Ballet!
I dance at Elite Dance Academy of Orange County (it's a click-able)!
I performed as a fairy and an Indian! They make it so fun! The studio is like on big happy family! I have pics of my costumes but I'll show them to you a little later.



                                                   
                                                            





****And the countdown to Hawaii is officially in the EXTREME....2 days to go!!!!!!!****

My Clown Shirt!

Hey there!

Here's a shirt that I have been meaning to show you guys for a long time....
(the left is the front and the right is the back)

Some of My Summer Clothes...

Here's my Easter dress! The bottom picture is a close-up of the lace back. (The picture on the left is the best...)

 

Here are some clothes that I got with gift cards!  I will most likely bring them on our Hawaii trip...

As you can see, I took two angles of the Cali. Love...I just had to!

The Cali. Love shirt and the dress are both from Target (believe it or not!)

Both of the necklaces and the floral blouse are from Forever 21! 

                      

Enjoy!

****The EXTREME countdown continues at a whopping 10 days till we head for paradise!!!!****

4th of July 2013

Hey all!
I know it's kinda weird to be writing about the 4th of July when it's July 5th!
(I was extremely busy at my Grandma's house ALL day....and had no WiFi)

For all my international readers who are wondering what the 4th of July is....this is for you. (it's to the point, but not worthy of the history books....)

The 4th of July is not just a day in the month of July in the United States of America.....it's the day we declared our independence from England! (sorry England....we still love you!) Some of us even call it Independence Day! Today, most of my fellow Americans (and I most of the time) just think of it as a time to eat watermelon, wear shorts, watch fireworks, swim or take part in some sort of water games, and enjoy the (usually) warm weather!

Now on to the real reason I'm writing this post....
I have a picture that my friend sent me that I just had to share with you guys!
I'm not exactly sure how she did it, but it's quite creative!

 Here ya go!






****And the EXTREME countdown continues with only 12 more days before we head for HAWAII!!!!!****

Papa in ICU...

Hi!

Here's the scoop:
My Grandpa (we all call him Papa) has been in ICU since last Tuesday.
(like I mentioned in another post)
He had a kidney and bladder infection that spread throughout his body and into his blood stream. 
He had to be put on a breathing machine thing. He had it for about a week. He got it out yesterday, though
he's still in the ICU. He will be moved to another room in a few days!
He's been enjoying foods that are on his "list".

More updates to come!

Paula Deen kicked off the Food Network

Hey!
OK, well a few days ago I was at Pick Up Stix (one of my Dad's favorite restaurants) and on the TV was this:
"Breaking News: Paula Deen Kicked Off Food Network".

She apparently said the "N" word either on TV or somewhere else where people could hear. (I've heard different stories about where she was actually heard saying it)
 She was also accused of cracking racist jokes. I guess the cable channel just couldn't take it anymore - they are not continuing her contract.

Here's what The LA Times says:
The LA Times version

I haven't seen anything on her website yet, but here it is:

Sad and Sweet....

Hey all!

Good News:
My summer vacation finally started!
I hope I'll be posting a lot more since I don't have school to worry about.
I have 2 REALLY awesome collages that I would like to share with you!

Bad News:
I can't share them with most of you cause they show my face.
(I'm worried about the whole identity theft thing)
SO if you have my e-mail or you can prove to me that I know you, I will share them with you privately!*
My grandpa is in the ER right now.... :(

*Seriously, they are SO cool!!!!!
(I'll just have to find another way to show you guys me new shirt!) :P :D

RANDOMNESS:
I have a song from the new Parent Trap movie ringing in my head! LOL!!!!


****Note*****
I know I said that my next post would most likely be about my new shoes ( well I said that like 3 posts ago).
I have so many pics lined up! I just have to find time to crop (and do fun stuff with) them!
But they are coming...
