Yes, this is the last minute, but I had to do it before the day was over :)
I hope that God will bless you immensely this year, through all the change that's happening, and will happen. ;) I hope that you will have the best year of your life (because you're living with me haha) full of adventures in life, in school, in boys ;)

batting artist
There are many different things that challenge me. People who talk slow, making steak, mom with menopause (haha). But basically, there are two big things in which I am challenged: athletically and artistically.
It's interesting though. During this summer, both things, in which I suck most at, are just flailing their arms in front of me, begging me to let them into my life.
First off, there's the joy of softball. Even though I can't run, can't throw, can't catch, can't bat, my life and heart is completely immersed in The Way. I watch others run, throw, catch and bat, hoping that maybe, just once, I would be able to do them too. You know when you get that feeling that "this time, this time, I am going to be amazing (or at least decent), I promise I will blow them away." Except, obviously, it never happens. It's still the beginning of the season, so who really knows what will happen, but don't expect too much sport out of me anytime soon. Nonetheless, I love softball, watching it, helping coach it, just gives me such great joy to be part of such an awesome team. :)
Secondly, it's my overwhelming desire to do something artsy. About a week ago, I bought a DIY sewing kit in hopes of learning how to sew. Since the kit included everything + instructions, I thought I'd be able to accomplish it in no time. Except when I opened the box, the instructions just confused me 10 times more than regular sewing ever had. A couple days ago, I was walking around when I came across canvases for painting, I pictured myself painting something amazing and was so tempted to buy them. Thank goodness my mom was there too, and refused to let me get it. Untouched paints would have probably cost me a lot. Just a little while ago, I was thinking about what book to start reading, but then I thought more and more about writing a book. Wouldn't it be amazing to publish your own book? But with my limited commitment level to writing and my immense imagination, I just decided to blog it instead.
I don't understand why these thoughts are going through my head so much recently as these things aren't really what usually pass through my mind on a regular basis. Maybe it's about time to get in touch with my artistic and athletic side of my life. It's not all just about academics right?
P.S. do you have any suggestions about what book to start reading?

lazy
I recently realized that I have so many things to say, but I am just too lazy to write. How often have you wanted to do something consistently, to make something routine, but fail miserably. I'd say this blog might be it. I really should start up my routines again. Maybe blog a bit more, read a bit more, network a bit more. But then again it's summer. When camp starts up, I'll be more productive, I promise.
On a side note, I just finished Sailor Moon live action drama. It is AMAZING. If you were ever a fan of Sailor Moon back in the day, watch it on crunchyroll! :) It's got the awesome corniness of normal japanese girls transforming into Sailor soldiers with brightly coloured wigs, but still has all the love drama between Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask and the conflict drama between the soldiers. Oh, how I heart. If you're ever down, just watch a random episode of it, reminisce about your childhood, and get lost in the world of Sailor Moon. Mmm <3

puzzle pieces
Puzzles. I love making puzzles, I love solving puzzles, I love puzzles.
Puzzles make you think, they make your brain move (or at least allow the neurons to send greater amounts of action potential towards their ends to release more acetylcholine to stimulate the receptors of the adjacent neuron :)). I think the joy of the puzzle does not come in the completion of it, but the whole thought process and man power it takes to attempt to reach its final product or answer. Of course, the final product is always rewarding, but the longer it takes to solve, the more satisfaction you will have in the end.
Life is full of puzzles. Every new thing that you learn is like a new piece to the puzzle that fits in perfectly with the previous ones. It keeps adding on everyday until, well, your life ends. Because many other people factor into your life, even when your life ends, the puzzle is still incomplete as it must add on to the puzzle pieces of all the bystanders in your life.
When we face situations, we do not know all sides of it, so we only obtain one piece of the puzzle. Nothing else fits with it, but you now it has to go somewhere, you know there is more to this lonely piece. Sometimes you may never be able to fill in those missing pieces and for some reason, they don't affect the puzzle. The pieces get replaced and memories of it are vague. However, on occasion, you learn something new about the situation no matter how long ago it was, and suddenly you get a new piece to fill in right beside your old one. In that instant, you get a glimpse of the bigger picture and everything is just a clearer.
This is why I love life. That moment, when everything becomes clearer, the moment pieces come together. The moment, you realize why something happened and why it happened that way. I don't think that when I search for these missing puzzle pieces that I'm being nosy, but just that I have this starving curiousity to know that which I do not. It may get me into trouble sometimes, but when I get to see pieces come together...I get this sense of satisfaction, a slight euphoric sensation that just makes me all tingly inside. It helps me to understand why people did what they did and why they reacted the way they reacted.
When you get that moment of clarity, it just feels so good.

mirlando <3
There are so many couples in Hollywood and I'm sure everyone has their favourite. They are mine. My two most favourite celebrities dating, how awesome is that? Though I can't find some really good pictures of them, here are some. Legolas and a Victoria Secret angel. Match made in heaven. :)

an ode to my mother <3
Oh mother, you are the best,
No words in the vernacular can express
The things you do for me out of love
God definitely made you from up above.
When I’m happy in life,
You are always there with me
When I’m not that nice,
You still love and let me be.
When I’m sad,
You cheer me up
When I’m mad,
You let me sulk.
I love you lots, I hope you know
And I hope this poem will let me show
How much I love and appreciate you
For all the things you say and do!
So now I’d like to take this chance to say,
Have a very Happy Mother’s Day!
With love, Victoria

materialism
Why is it that when you buy things, you always become a little happier? Whether it's new clothes, new gadgets, new toys, there is always a small sense of pride when you look at purchase. Obviously, this feeling doesn't stay for too long, and then your eyes go a-wandering once again in search of new material prizes of satisfaction.
Our world now has definitely fallen into the deadly grasps of that which is known as materialism. It's sad to see it rule the lives of the younger generation nowadays. Hollister, iPods, UGGS (gross), and overpriced, brand-named, cheap material clothing have overcome our society and have completely changed the value of our quality in life. But really, who's counting. You like what is pretty and what is popular and there's nothing wrong with that. As long as it doesn't consume your life by placing itself on the top of your priorities list.
And so, I love to shop :) and the best place to shop is in the states. And thus, I shall share with you my shopping adventures. Don't judge haha. I haven't shopped all year that I've been in school, maybe a shirt here or there. and don't worry, just know that I bought everything for a good deal :)

kekeke. I can't walk into another shopping mall, or I'll just keep on going like that energizer bunny. It's been so much fun spending time with my parents, going around and getting lost on the most confusing highways of Dallas.
Besides shopping, I've been eating delicious sushi and I visited the 6th floor museum, the museum dedicated to the assassination of the late President John F. Kennedy. I got a good history lesson, but seriously there is nothing else but that in downtown Dallas. Quite a disappointment. Oh well. Dallas has the most outlet mall space per square mile of land in all of USA. I guess that's all that really matters :) WHEEE!!
