EFY

I'm not sure what went wrong with that posting down there. The words disappeared, so I deleted the posting, but it still appeared there. Weird. Did you know that coming back into The States from Central, and South America you'll be needing a passport from now on. Scary. Our dad registered us for EFY at BYU for the end of July, early August. We might not get in because our parents registered us on the last day possible, while we were sleeping. They woke me up to me ask for my social security number. That would be fun if we could go. I wish Maika could go. Our parents are going on vacation just the 2 of them for the first time in 13 years. They're going to Guam in exactly 1 week. Our Auntie Em is coming on Monday to babysit us. Can't wait.

What we'll be doing this week...

As Lexi told you, we went to see Eragon on Friday. I really liked it. Maika wants to see it with us on Wednesday(Ladies day), but I have no money! I only have $60 people! Happy Birthday Bradey. It's Bradey's birthday today or tomorrow depending on where you are. Have a great B'day! Instead of mutual on Thursday, we're doing baptisms for the dead on Friday. Me, Lexi and Anna are going early to eat at Baskin Robins, and help Anna with her Personal Progress. I'm almost done with mine! I'm trying to finish it before my birthday. We're going to the Tokyo Quilt Show on Saturday! Lexi and I didn't enter anything, and my mom's didn't get excepted. but, we can shop for fabric, and other quilting do-dads.

Mia's first day of school

Mia went back to school today! Hallejuyah! I can do my school work in quietness now! I went over to the Free's house yesterday to play. They each had a friend over, and I was Anna's friend. Erika had a girl from school named Ella over, who's from England. Kent's friend was Japanese, but goes to K International School too, and can speak English. This morning, when I was telling Noah he couldn't do something, he asked me "Why not?" I didn't even know he could say that! And 2 days ago, when I was to pointing to letters, and asking him what they were, he knew them all from O~Y. He could even pronounce W. Sudden intelligence. He's a cute little monster. I'm felling very overwhelmed. I want to finish my Personal Progress by my birthday, I need to finish 2 lessons of school work by the end of the month(including 6 hours of service), hopefully be able to take my 4 exams this month,plus make time for working on my quilt, reading, and my other hobbies. Mia's calling... goodbye.

Goodbye Christmas!

We took our Christmas decorations down today. I really want to go somewhere today with some people besides my family, but everyone's in a different country, or they're busy celebrating New Years. I got the test scores for the finals test I took the other week, and I got an A-, and an A- over all in Eastern Civilizations. Yea me! I've been doing lots of sudoku and kakuro lately. Do you like sudoku? I like sudoku. I don't like kakuro, I have to keep taking occasional peeks at the answers. I'm naughty. Tonight's gonna be a full moon! Throw a party! People are leaving me to go shopping! Abandonment and woe. Surprised the store's open..I'm gonna go do some more sudoku.

Christmas & New Years!

You probably saw pictures of our Christmas morning on Lexi's blog. At 12:30 I went to babysit the Miura kids, because S. Miura was having her sesection(spell?). We played outside with a ball, went inside and played Cheat, old maid, and old gramps. We played hide-and-go-seek around their house, but that became tiring, so we played tag outside, and seeing Shou-shou's friends playing dodgeball, we decided to join them.(Sarasa(girl) is 10, and Shoushou(boy) (aka Shoutarou) is 8). Sadly, I looked like a pathetic looser, embarsing Shou-shou, because I just couldn't catch the ball! No matter how hard I tried. Then Shou-shou accidently hit me in the face. It took a while for it to stop stinging. The baby was successfully born at 2:?? pm. They were able to go see him at the hospital at 4pm, after washing their hands, faces, and changed their clothes. They named him Hiroki after B. Miura. The past couple days we've been playing lots of games we got for Christmas, such as, Battleship(Pirates of the Caribbean version!!), Mastermind(Don't play it with my mom!), Imagine iff, Risk, and Noah's tacoyaki game. On New Years Eve, we got home early from church(which Lexi and Mom didn't attend), we played lots of games with Mia and Noah, had a traditional cheese fondue dinner, sent Mia and Noah to bed, played Mastermind with mom, played Risk with Mom and Dad, Imagine iff with Mom and Lexi, watched a count down on Disney Channel, watched the Disney Land fireworks, talked with Mom, Dad, and Lexi for a bit, got ready for bed, and went to bed quite content. I woke up at 10:20 and corn flakes for breakfast. I took Mia and Noah to the park for about an hour, came home, ate ramen for lunch, and while my parents went on a date to Monsoon Cafe for lunch, Lexi and I watched a movie on Disney Channel. When they came home, we we watched Praise to The Man but Noah wouldn't let me watch the touching end, because he kept asking for candy canes. Annoying! I made mochi treats(yum yum) for dinner tonight, so we had a true Japanese New Years, and Daddy made apple crisp for desert, even though we don't need anymore deserts. haha

School's out!

School's out!yea! I finished just a little while ago. Lexi finished last Thursday. It's the eve, of the eve, of Christmas Eve people! Celebrate! Nothing going on tomorrow, but Sunday is Kousuke's baptism. yes! His dad finally said yes! He can come to activities now, so long as he keeps his grades up. So while Lexi and I are at the baptism, our other family members will be preparing for Christmas Eve, then we come home, do stuff, go to bed, wake up, and open presents. yipee! On the second, I'll most likely go back to my school work... I've finished 2 and a half credits, and have 3 and a half more. No!!!!!!! I don't know what 7 other lessons to take.

Another day...

My mom shut the shutters in my room tight, so I slept in. I woke up an hour ago, it's 8:45, and Mia's still not awake. I have to do Pre-algebra today! Ohhh. I don't like my teacher. He doesn't do a good job of explaining things. I still need to buy my mom's Christmas present. Besides Noah, who's will arrive tomorrow, I have everyones wrapped. Yay me! Oh darn it we didn't get the garbage out. We may survive. Mia just woke up. Oh, no! I think she's staying home! Wait, there's a Christmas party... ooh, no, She won't make up her mind. Yes! She's going! sorry, little mix up back there. I can still study is screaming in the back round, but I don't know what it is, I can't stand it when Mia is screaming. I can't concentrate. It's the way she screams, or the pitch she screams at, I just can't stand it, sadly. Especially when I have to do algebra. I only have today, West Civ. tomorrow, algebra on Friday, and I'm done! I can have Chrismas vacation.

An announcement I need to make

Nothing out of the ordinary happened today except I deepcleaned all the toys out of my room. There's someting I need to say that I'm very mad about. You might be ooh-ahing over some pictures Lexi posted on her blog yesterday. I took those pictures when I played outside with Mia and Noah the day before while Lexi was working on her xanga site. I meant to post them on my blog, but before I could get around to it, Lexi took them from me without asking, and posted them, and won't even say sorry, or why she took them without asking. Very, very rude.
