Fall!

I guess I'm a day or so late, but oh well!

I love fall! All the pretty leaves and those wonderful apples (the leaves especially)... I love the cool crisp air, I love the icy nights and I love Halloween and Thanksgiving! I don't look forwards to the season, but when it's here I can't help but smile. Summer has been, and I'm pretty sure always will be, my favorite season since you can swim but I love each and everyone.

So yay for fall!

Another happy thing is that my grandparents (father's side) are visiting soon, so I'm very, very excited! I'm flooded with all this online schoolwork, and I want to get the bulk of it done before they come, so cross your fingers for me!

Anyhow, here's my post for the next while. I'll try to write soon!

Some Silly Cartoons

Brother1 asked me to draw some cartoon-like things because we had been playing this game called 'Pajama Sam' and it had things like that, so I complied. I felt like posting the drawings--for no reason in particular--so here they are!

This is Mr. Brock Lai. He's a broccoli, for those of you who don't know.

This is Collette Ussri. She's a bunch of lettuce. This is Cookie Brigton. She's a Chocolate Chip Cookie.This is Ms. Chiquita Bana. She's a Banana.

The next bit is done sort of like a comic strip... Brother1 helped me with it, and it's sort of lame, but it was fun to do and I'd like to look back on it years in the future:

This is the un-named Pencil Wizard. If you have any suggestions (for his name), PLEASE comment them!

This is Mr. Cliff. He's a hanger (like a 'cliff hanger'...? Get it...?).

Brother1 drew this one. He's Mr. Pizza, and he's a pizza.

Well, there you go! Just some silly things Brother1 and I doodled at the beginning of spring... speaking of spring, I'm so happy that it's finally here! After Spring comes Summer! I love Summer!

Happy Spring and happy Doodling!

The Sequel to 'Butterfly'

Well, as for the Park Day thing I went to, I really didn't have much fun. My favorite parts must have been playing cards with Dear Sister and a Little Brother of a Friend of mine, and pushing little children on the tire swing. I really wish it would have been more fun, but I had to (and wanted to) stay in the sight of my Mom, and the only kids close to my age went way beyond that. I guess even if I had gone with them I wouldn't have had fun as they didn't seem to be doing much... Oh well.

Now today I might have some fun!!! Some friends of mine from ballet--as well as myself and Dear Sister--are making a movie! I don't know much about the plot yet, but I do know that it's going to be like a 'Lord of the Ring's thing (like a sequel or something...). Today should be our first meeting, so I'm really excited!
I'm going to play a maid/spy for the bad guys who turns to the good side and stops spying for the Villains. My name isn't decided yet.
Dear Sister is going to play multiple tiny characters. She's really excited about doing that, as she loves playing bunches of tiny rolls and being different characters--not only that, but she's really good!

So I'm very excited and have been looking forwards to this thing for quite some time! The meeting will be from 6:30-8:00.

Oh, and this is completely off topic, but I'm actually wearing the shirt I took my profile pic on! Silly, huh? ;-)

Summer

Out of all the seasons in the year, Summer is my season. I love the heat (most of the time, anyway), I get to float around in our pool, and there's just something about Summer air. I love summer, and always will.

It's definitely mine!!!

Mango Feast and Possible Pool

So we just went to Costco and got a bunch of ripe Mangoes. (those are like impossible to find!) We came home, put the groceries away, washed our hands... and then ate the mangoes... and boy were they good! I really enjoyed them! Dear Sister is peeling another right now, so I don't have much time to finish this post before I need to run over and feast some more ;-).

On a different subject, I'm probably going to go swimming in our pool (which we set up yesterday) with all my sibs except Brother2 (he doesn't really like cold water). I'm looking forwards to it, though it would be more fun if my Parents could join me. (Mom can't leave Dear Brother and Daddy is busy working)

Anyway, it looks like Rose is almost done and I still have to edit this post so bye! :-)

What's worse than bees? Wasps!

Okay, so Mom and Dad decided to start setting up our pool. We probably won't be able to swim in it until either late Sunday or sometime Monday simply because it takes FOREVER for it to fill, but I'm still excited.

So they were clearing out the patio in our back yard, when they found an ACTIVE WASPS NEST on one of the fence posts!!!!!!!!!! (*scream*)

We have this special vacuum cleaner called a 'Shop Vac', and Daddy decided to Vacuum them up. The rest of my Clan evacuated into the house and watched through our glass door as he battled the wasps. He actually escaped un-stinged, thank goodness!

One problem: we now have an entire wasps nest (not just the wasps, but the actual nest as well) in one of our vacuum cleaners. We're still trying to figure out what do, hehehe.


Galaxy

INTERESTING GALAXY FACT: She has never been stung by a bee, or by wasp. Neither has she broken any bones, though she has had more than her fair share of muscle polls! (the Ballerina's price)

Sunshine

Earlier today Mommy and Nana took us (us being me and my sibs) outside and set up our kiddy pool and slip 'n slide. It was pretty hot.
Dear Sister and I sunbathed a bit before we finally waded in the kiddy pool. Then we went in the slip 'n slide. I did it really well, and after a couple tries, so did Rosi. I had a lot of fun.

By the time I was ready to come in, I felt really good, even though it was... what? 98 degrees? I mean, I could still feel the heat, but it felt great. Then I opened the door to the inside, and it was FREEZING! I ended up waiting outside a bit before finally getting in. And when I was in, I felt really really good. The sun just puts me in a good mood, I guess. Even now I feel warm and content.

I love summer!

The Last Day

Hey guys!

Wow, I haven't been blogging much, have I? And I STILL haven't posted that vacation post... I'll try to get it done before '09!

Anyway, today is my last day of Ballet for this ballet 'year' (we'll start again in a week or two, only it will be the summer session--which is only three days a week). My recital is coming up and I just CAN'T WAIT! Of course, it would be much, much better if I could do it on pointe... You see, last Friday my teacher decided which ones of us could do our dance in pointe shoes (going up on your tip toes in special shoes) and I was one of the three who couldn't. The sad thing is, I really, really wanted to do it, and I tried so hard... I broke two toe nails and got a blister trying. The Teacher talked to the entire class saying that we'd probably get to do it next year, but all I could think was I can't do it THIS year, I can't do THIS dance... Even sadder, some of the people who CAN do it don't want to at all! *sigh* Life isn't fair.

So, instead of blogging, I've been doing a lot of drawing... and actually being slightly pleased at the results. I try to post some pictures I drew later :-)

Well... I'll post later!

Ballet, Summer, and much much more!

Today was the day I find out if I'm going to move up a level or not this summer of ballet.

I'm not.

But that's really what I wanted. Four days a week is enough for me--definitely! (level VI {the next level up and the last level of ballet} is five days a week--MINIMUM!!!) I'm just really sad that some of the other Ballerina's are moving up without me... I'm gonna miss them :-(

Anyway, Summer is coming up and I can't wait! I'll be able to (drum roll please) SWIM! Hooray!

Swim Facts About Galaxy:

1. She has yet to learn how to take breathes while swimming, but she loves the pool and adores floating around.
2. She and her sister invented a type of swimming called the 'Mermaid', which involves diving down to the bottom of the pool and swimming like a mermaid.
3. Her parents own an inflatable* pool--which probably inspired her love of water.
4. She likes sun-bathing a lot.
5. If it's hot, she swims. NOTHING can get in her way.
6. She waits all year to swim, and enjoys it thoroughly while she can.

Another cool thing about Summer is that this will be the first time in three years that I won't be in a musical, and thus, I have (after I finish 6 weeks of ballet) NOTHING to do! That's right, NOTHING!--besides hanging out and having fun with friends and family.

So... that's all I have to say--for now!

Bye!!!

Galaxy ;-)

*The pool isn't really inflatable; you just fill it up with water and it pops up. The pool is 12 feet by 42 inches.

The end of summer...

Hi!

So summer's over... I miss it already. The thing i'll miss most is swimming! We had to put our pool away yesterday, we were out there forever and it still wasn't done! Daddy, Dear Sister (find her blog at: me-in-general.blogspot.com) and i were doing it for a long time... My left pinkie turned completely white! I'm not kidding! I could barely feel it... We finished it just a little bit ago, mommy would have helped but she had to watch and care for Brother2. As the end of summer approached, i started to fear it... but then i thought of all the wonderful things fall would bring: the gorgeous leaves, Halloween, Not-Back-To-School-Day, Thanks Giving, and of course it will be cooler... If only i could just keep swimming with out freezing to death... But then what would summer be good for? I don't know... It's just my favorite season.
