contemplation.

I've been thinking a lot lately.
You know, it might be better to like give up, but I don't.
I need to be careful about who I tell things to.
When you confide in someone, you confide in them.
You trust them to not tell anyone.
Despite what the circumstances are.
Sometimes you gotta keep things just between the two of you.
Have you learned it yet?
I have.
I think.

breakthrough.

oh wow. I haven't posted in a long time. Well, this time it's going to be about San Francisco!

Friday.

Augh. I hate bus rides. I think I slept through more than half of it. It was sort of fun though, watching The Office. That show is bomb! So after 8 hours or so on the bus, we got to San Francisco and it was so windy! And cold! But downtown San Fran is quite pretty. I love the buildings! They are soooo tall. So we checked into the Mariott and I was in hotel 1231 with Allison, Jessica, and Brittany. :] Yay. That hotel is super super nice. We pretty much just relaxed until we had to go up to St. Ignatius Church and sing. That church is probably the prettiest church I have ever seen! The stained glass windows were so pretty, and the architecture was amazing! We sang our three songs, and I thought we pretty much blew it. Afterwards we had a convention thingy with this Russian woman. She was so cute and amazing! I thinkk she helped us a lot. :] We went back to the Mariott and the girls and I went down to the jacuzzi and it was crowded as hell with 17 choirs there! My goodness.

Saturday.

Fisherman's wharf! What a freakishly cold day. Freezing! But fun. Walked down to Pier 39 and into the shops. :] So fun! There was this pearl jewelry thing from Hawaii, and Ruth and I got a necklace and ring. So expensive though! But pretty. :] There was this one store called Krazy Kaps, and it was hilariousss. They had the most ridiculous hats anyone could find! Mm.. we walked down to Ghiradelli Square, although there wasn't much to do there. I love chocolate! But I hate sourdough bread and clam chowder. It is not very good. Despite the fact that that is what San Francisco is famous for. In the evening, we had a choir banquet and dance at the Mariott. Everyone looked so pretty! :] The food was good and the dessert was too. Dancing was fun, but hard becuase everyone is like crunched up on youuuu. Omg. CARLLL is such a good dancer. Baha. OH yeah, found out that there are lots of fake girls in choir. AHEM. After we went down to Jacuzzi again. :D Yayyyy. After jacuzzi, Mr. Tison called us into the room to give us like a lecture, and then he todl us our results and Troubs got first and Concert Choir got second! :] I was so happyyy. Everyone was like jumping up and downnn. ! What a happy moment.

Sunday.
Golden Gate Bridge! By the beach! It's so pretty! :] I <3>

:] woooh everglades high school.

Fun weekend.

I loved San Francisco. <3

golden state.

For those who were lucky enough make Concert Choir this year, we all were excused from our fourth period class and on to compete in the Golden State Competition. No, we didn't win. We didn't even place. Honestly, I didn't think we were horrible, but I know we weren't that great. The church we sang in was so pretty! It had a super long aisle and the stained glass windows were so amazing. Mm.. so Fountain Valley had to perform first due to the time schedule of our accompianist. We sang three songs consisting of Warum, the required He, Watching Over Israel, and John the Revelator. I thought the first two were pretty good, but the last one was totally thrown off by the claps. Aughhhh. I am very sad. :[ Ohmigoodness, the choir from San Marino had these really not very nice dresses! They looked like prom dresses and were sleeveless. Some were red and some were gold and they all had like... weird swirly sequins on them. o.o The funniest thing was their whole choir was like 98% asian, and Mitchell dubbed them "South Korea." LLOL. Mmm, after we sang we had to sit there for the rest of the 9 choirs to sing and listen to the encores of the winning choirs from fifth to first for the small and large choir divison. It was very boring. If I hear He, Watching Over Israel one more time, I am going to shoot myself. I absolutely hate that song now. I mean, I used to like it in the beginning, but now it's just OHMIGOODNESS. I was so tired during the whole thing, considering the two and a half hours of sleep I got Monday. I was starving too! My body was so tired when I got home. Augh.

Because of yesterday's flipflop, Tison was very disappointed in us. Next year he's cutting the choir down to only 55 people! And everyone has to re-try out. Ohmigoodness. This is no good. I hope I make Troubadors next year. :D I lovee choir! But the some of the people in class are really starting to annoy me. -_-

Ack. My body is tired and sore for godknowswhat reason. I need a massage. Anyone?
