Run For Water 2010

Overall, the 5K Run For Water event was a great experience! I got to donate $20 to building of wells for Ethiopia, I took an opportunity to run 5K for a great cause with 1,000 other residents of the town, I just totally felt really astonished by how many people were out there today supporting Ethiopia and the building of wells there so that the people of that country can have a drink of water. And while supporting a great cause, we're all keeping in shape! The Run For Water was tons of fun, and I can most definitely be counted on to return to run for clean water in Ethiopia next year.

R.I.P "Lost" - The Best T.V Show Ever.

Dear Lost,

Thanks for the emotional, amazing, and unforgetable journey you have taken me on for 6 exciting years. I do not think I missed a single episode, for I would always be so anxious to see what would happen next. Even though some parts didn't make any sense at all (such as the death of Charlie Pace), and left me thinking "what the hell is going on?", you would always come around and please me at the end of each season. There were so many memorable moments, it would take me hours to type them all out. I laughed at Sawyer's funny nick-names. I cried when ever a memorable character died. I was angry at Ben for all of the horrible things he did to them (and for not stopping Widmore's people from killing his adopted daughter). I was happy when Jin and Sun had finally been reunited after three years of being apart. I cried with joy when the couples all remembered eachother in their alternative universes and the memories they had with one another on the island. I cried with sorrow when Jack died in the bamboo forest with Vincent the dog, the same place Jack woke up the day of the plane crash, the pilot of the first episode, of the first season of lost. Lost, you ended happily and I wouldn't have had the ending any other way. Sure all things must come to an end, and life goes on....but you will always remain, in my heart, the best t.v show I have ever watched...and no other t.v show can ever compare to you. Thanks again for everything. <3.

Life Is Short. Live It To The Fullest.

As I sat at my laptop in the living room the other afternoon, my sister came to me and had told me that the teacher that had taught me in kindergarten had died of cancer. Just like that, out of the blue. Completely unexpected. The news saddened me, for my kindergarten teacher was one of the nicest people I've ever met. I also felt sad for her two daughters. One of them is my age. I cannot imagine their pain. I could never imagine going through life without my mom, dad or my sisters. When my sister shared the new with me, it had hit me like a brick wall, once again. Life is short. You never know when something will happen to yourself or to the ones you love the most. And it'll happen, right out of nowhere. Whenever I'm reminded of this, I always try to take chances in life, and live it to the fullest. So, if anyone out there is reading this, I dare you to take chances in your life. Do something spontaneous! Run a marathon. Ask the guy or girl you like out to a dinner or a movie. Ride the fastest, highest rollercoaster you can possibly find. Travel someplace exciting and live your life up. Keep your friends and famillies close to you, no matter what, and always let them know how much you care for them, love then, and that they're always on your mind. Because life is short. Live it to the fullest.

Christmas Break!

(L to R: Ashley and I @ a christmas party!) Christmas Break, school's out!

Woots! School is definitely out for the christmas season for TWO whole weeks! I'm so happy....no waking up early, ironing my uniform, and no homework! Just two whole weeks of relaxation (with the exception of work). I've got a lot of things planned for the break! On christmas day we're opening presents and having the family over for dinner. On new years eve Ashley and I are getting together and all night we'll be pulling pranks and doing a whole bunch of awesome stuff to make the most of what is left of 2009 and to celebrate the comming of 2010! Wow, can you believe it? Time sure flies. Last weekend I just went to a fun christmas party with Ashley and slept over at her house. We also exchanged gifts. I gave her an awesome necklace and Ashley gave me "Dodgeball" DVD, a scarf and a "New Moon" 2010 calendar. Well, this christmas break is certaintly going to be the greatest! I'm off now to get ready to go out to the movies with the family to see "A Christmas Carol"....the new one with Jim Carrey! Later everyone!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

(Ashley's 16th Birthday Party!) It's Snowing!

So as I peer out the window at this moment, I can take a gander at the first snowfall of the year in my town! Woots! I'm so happy that the snow is finally here! When there's snow there's usually, snowmen, snow angels, snow forts, snow ball fights and hot chocolate, baby! It's a Friday afternoon and I'm here, in school detention for arriving to class late today. Ah well. My friends are in here with me so it's all good ^_^. This weekend is going to be so much fun! First of all, my family an I are going out today for supper at a Chinese Restaurant. Yum! Tomorrow and Sunday I have to go to work at the egg farm, but thats alright because I still love my job. I also have to finish my christmas shopping this weekend. And on Saturday night my little sister is going to a sleep over party so my other sister and I are going to watch "Blades Of Glory" with some popcorn. Sounds like my kind of weekend :)! Last weekend was my best friend's birthday party. It was so much fun. Fire works, watching Austin Powers, and hanging out with my best friend and our other friends on her birthday were the major hilights of the night. Lunch is almost over and so is detention. See you all later! =D

Mid-Semester..OhMeGarsh!

Holla, holla y'alls! It is currently the midst of semester one - after Halloween. Breathing space is getting pretty tight at the moment, so much studdying! But it's paying off big time...So if you're reading this and you're currently failing your classes, I say get your act together, and crack open the books you! Anyways...

Halloween was tons of fun, even though my family and I didn't exactly celebrate the spooky occasion. Ice-skating, and watching 'Cloverfield,' and 'Sweeney Todd,' with the fam was awesome-sauce.

So as you have read the title of this blogtastic post, you're probably thinking to yourself 'Ariel, what in all of the goodness of the world have you to do with Neopets? It's for babies!'....well, here's the story: my sister of five years younger than I started up with Neopets again. When she was playing on it, it brought back major memories of middle school....playing games, earning neopoints, playing with your pet, making guilds, meeting new people....it was rather tempting to sign back up on Neopets and relive the moments....and thus, I gave in to Mr. Temptation. But don't judge me folks - it's only a past time, not an obsession!

Going to my friend Shelby's 16th birthday party this weekend, should be lots of fun! Well, I'd better head off and finish my essay for the Scoials Studdies Fair....au revoir!
