addiction!

i have become addicted to we<3it.
c'est moi.

my mother and i went to the library today. after, we drove around the city looking for somewhere to go. we finally set at a consignment shop to look around. the little shop had a lot of nice name brand things for dirt cheap, but i didn't find anything worth buying.
on our way home, we decided to stop at the manor antique shop to look around. i have found my new addiction! i found all of this beautiful jewelry and vintage clothing! i wish i could have bought it all! but i had decided on a beautiful 50's gold dress to wear to my aunt's wedding in august. i also bought a 50's beautiful black jacket and matching little purse. so cute! i looked around a bit for jewelry/accessories to match my dress but they were closing and we had to hurry out. my mother also picked out this beautiful chunky ring for herself, but what i'm going to borrow often (:
we had a grand old time trying on old 50's dresses, vintage kilts and old 40's hats. i also found this amazingly beautiful tea set that i would DIE for.
i can't wait to go back tomorrow and buy more stuff!
(:

i'll post pictures tomorrow of everything!
stay freshh;

Rough Day.

i am beautiful.
you are beautiful.
we are all beautiful.
we all deserve love.
we all deserve friends.
we all deserve freedom.
we all deserve equality.
we all deserve loyalty.

we all need to cry.
we all need to smile.
we all need someone who will make us smile when we cry,
and we can do without the people who make us cry when we smile.

we all need to learn
to love ourselves.
and to love others.

we all need to learn
that we are all in this together.
and that we're all the same
and we all need and deserve the same things.

we should "never look down on someone
unless we are helping them up."
we should never compare ourselves to someone better
and make ourselves feel bad,
and we should never compare ourselves to someone less fortunate
to make the other feel bad.

we all need to learn
that sometimes,
the person who deserves the least respect,
the least kindness,
the least love,
the least loyalty,
really needs it the most.

we all need to learn to love others
and love ourselves.

i love you all.

forgive me, father, for i have sinned.

This past week was been a very busy week.
sorry i've been neglecting you guys!

my first tennis practice was tuesday. it was huge amounts of fun! i had practice tuesday and wednesday at the elementary school, and then friday at the racket club. friday was a bit depressing, though. for one, we actually started playing and learning and i learned that i need to practice a lot! i bought a new racket, today, though, so i'm excited for next week's practice.


What is Bravo!?
Bravo! is a lip sync contest performed by all students in foreign language classes grades 9-12.. The lip sync contest requires students to memorize and perform (in lip sync fashion) a song that their class chose in early December.
thursday we performed! our whole thing came together so well! our song was Aux Arbres Citoyens by Yannick Noah. Our performance was so cute! we had a bunch of dancing trees, flowers, and shrubberies in the background (i, myself, was a dancing flower!) and a bad earth killing group and a green group. it was basically a 'dance off' between the two groups and in the end the corporate people turned green and saved the earth! in the competition, french competed against french, and spanish against spanish. the categories were best costumes, best coreography, best lipsyncing, and best overall. if you won best overall, you couldn't win anyother category, though. and then, there was also a category for just all of the 9th grade classes french and spanish: best debut. our class won best debut AND tied with one of the junior classes for BEST OVER ALL! it was great (: AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL.
i can't wait for the next episode (: i don't know yet who i like, but i sure know who i DON'T like. i'll comment more once we get closer into the season (:
MOVIES.
the invisible: INCREDIBLY not what i expected. and INCREDIBLY good. i can't explain to you the goodness of it without giving the movie away. just watch it. its soooo good !
changeling: really really really good. this movie inspired me so much. the main character is such a strong woman, and is very inspiring. also, the time period is the late 20's early 30's. fashion? beautiful. CHURCH SCHOOL.
i was wicked nervous to go, at first. then i got there and found out that of the 12 people in my class, i am the only girl. fun. but then i got to know the guys in my class, because they all go to a different school then i do since the church by me doesn't have faith formation, and i'm not too sad afterall... i am actually quite looking forward to my hour of church school every tuesday night... (:

love always,

It's going to be a small one...

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL wednesday !

sorry for the short post today, i have LOADS of homework, and i would have waited to make a pretty post, but i wanted to say a few things (:

Amen.

i watched this movie on ShowTime last night. Although it only recieved 1 1/2 stars, i was not disappointed. I could go on and on about the positives and negatives of this movie, but rather, i'm going to go on and on about my mind. if anyone has seen this movie, you see in the beginning of the movie how the main character, Rachel (played by Lindsay Lohan), acts like...well, kind of a slut. and i'm really against all that kindof stuff, so i was like "Wow, she's such a hoe." and stuff like that. and then as i watched the movie, i found out that the reason she acted that way was not because she chose to act like that, but because (Spoiler!) her step-father sexually abused her, and her mother had and alcohal problem and didn't even notice. i realized by watching this movie was that i judge people too quickly. if i had actually waited to hear what she had to say, before labeling her, i wouldn't have judged her actions so quickly. i think that every bad action that people do, whether its acting like a 'slut,' yelling at someone, failing a test, it has more meaning than just what you see on the outside. maybe she's acting like a 'slut' because she doesn't know how to act anyway else, or because that's all she knows. maybe my friend, stephanie, yells at me and fails her tests because she's stressed out and is treated badly at home. so, for lent, i've decided to stop judging people so quickly. when stephanie flips out on me, i'll talk to her and let her know that i care about her. when i see someone make an immoral choice, i'll look beyond the surface and because what you see isn't always what's going on on the inside of someone's mind or heart. so basically, i just want to stop judging people so quickly, look beyond the surface, and try to understand where people are coming from.

My Complete Lent List; stop judging to quickly, quit swearing &+ give out a compliment everyday. that's all i have for now, but i might be adding more to the list (:




these pictures are really cool, too. my favorites are the first and third. her photographs are so 'every-day' -- with lack of a better word. But the pictures are of simple things, but made interesting because of the colors and angles. They're so inspiring.
