so..a needle pulling thread

So a little sampler of whats been going down....
I have taken up embroidery and sewing.
Im really excited to get started on some of these small projects of created for myself. I plan on embroidering my "elephant-ear" skirt. Don't freak out its not made from that. I would never own anything so cruel its just this skirt I bought at Target like a year ago and Tante Bay says it looks like an elephant ear.



So I went to Joann's and got embroidery thread, fabric, some engraving paper and a pattern.
Im gonna make a blouse out of this really cute vintage looking fabric.
I have also decided to paint my room. Yes, Ashley, it wont look like it was your room when Im done. I gonna do.....wait for it.....a MURAL!!! cool huh? i cant wait.
now for the matter of school. well theres nothing really to say... there isnt anything interesting about it.
I had a really fun weekend though!!
i saw my lovely ladies at Biola and Tessa came down too. we went to disneyland and got to hang out the entire weekend!! so fun! i love and miss them terribly.

Ahem..Is this thing on?

I'd like to dedicate this next song to my beloved sister, Vanessa and her MAN Ryan. I hear this song and I think of you two! :)

This is "Lucky" by: Jason Mraz ft. Colbie Caillat


Do You hear me?
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue
Ocean under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dream
I feel you whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Everytime we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you, I wil

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to becoming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put the flower in your hair
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to becoming home someday

Over and under the weather

SO I started my first week of public, totally cheap, as I've been constantly reminded by my ever-so-wanting-to-save-money mother, parking-less college. Its, um, different to say the least. the professors seem to be pretty chill, like to through cuss words around casually and express how much they love africa (this includes one professor). My fellow classmates are an utter delight!; smelling of cigarette smoke or smacking on their gum like they had tar stuck in their teeth.

As you can tell I am thoroughly enjoying myself here. :) The first day was actually good.It was my physical science class (aka Physics) and the teacher was quite the jokester and I was beginning to this "I actually might like it here" 5 out of my soon-to-be 7 classes are at night. that's right! 5 days a week I am at school from 6-9:30, further adding to my growing adoration of the school. Anyways, I was walking back into the classroom after our last break and noticed a girl walk up to the professor trying to explain why she was two hours late to class. Hear voice sounded almost familiar but I couldnt really see her face to see if she looked it. I sat down at my seat as she sat somewhere in the back. He called her up to his desk to get her name and I heard him say " so thats C-H-O-I?" And I said to myself "No Way!" If you don't remember, Kimberly Choi was one of my really good friends in grade school. I remember her being so tall and graceful looking to me and having these strange jelly korean treats that were delish! SO, Im sitting there thinking should I say hi to her after class, will she remember me? anyways called mom after class and she urged me to greet her so as soon as i get off the phone, Kimberly walks out of the class and our eyes meet.

ANd I say," DO I know you?"

Kim looks at me backing away like I had a contagious disease and in a wary voice " CHHHanelle?"

Me:" Oh my Gosh, Kim?"

we both laugh and hug and talked a little about ourselves and how crazy it was that we are in the same class. ANyways, I thought it was cool.

But since that joyous moment, nothing seemed to thrill me about the school. I saw Tara Holguin at school and chatted how we were poor and couldnt afford our previous college and were now left to go to RCC and my class of Health science seems somewhat amusing. This class by the way is the class with the proud african professor. He has the right to be I know but it might be a bit much for my taste. Oh, and its the class that has a chapter on sex that mom and dad seemed eager to make me uncomfortable with..
Dad: I bet its gonna get crazy when you guys start talking about the sex chapter

Me: ya that what the professor said but whatever its only a chapter

Mom: so what else are you covering?

Me: Um, mental health, physical fitness, alcohol...

Mom: and sex?

Me: Um ya...? and drugs and...

Dad: sex?

Me: yes ( with an annoyed look) Its not that big of a deal guys just get over it...

Oh the joys of being a child and having your parents think talking about sex is awkward and weird...IT is when you're around...

lets see some more happy moments at school...

Oh I know its a billion degrees here and I have no A/C.. doesnt seem to bad. I can take it right?
SURE!

Unless you are in the car for an hour and a half, with NO A/C, looking for a parking space at school and missing your class!!








good times good times.....................................
