Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)


(I made this mask for my Romeo and Juliet project freshman year haha)

I forgot it was Mardi Gras today! Wow, haha I was wondering why I saw people wearing (green) bead necklaces, I was like, It's not St. Patrick's Day...

Time to give up something for Lent!
-give up myspace, facebook, probably more as I go along
-give up soda, asb food, starbucks, candy
-make limited time for blogging
-make limited time for music playing except if actually practicing
-try to fix sleeping pattern; do hw first then sleep, instead of nap then hw then sleep
-i'll think of more along the way :/

Today was late start! :) tomorrow I will go to church for Ash Wednesday, try walking around school with an ash cross across the middle of my forehead. Hey I'm Catholic and I ain't ashamed. 

I was invited to the National Youth Leader Conference thing :) I want to go to it. Hopefully I can experience it while I'm given such an opportunity! Washington, D.C. babyy.

You know what? I'm sad that I was put out of the last two songs for our choir setup, along with the other 3 retreat girls who didn't go to a competition because of our Confirmation II retreat. Really, I'm sad. ;( I was going to tell my mom to come watch me, but now, I'm not so sure I want to. :( I secretly think it's punishment for us choosing a retreat over a competition but now that I think of it. It's okay. The retreat was worth it, I'm doing this for God. But now I'll feel like I didn't contribute. Like I'm not part of the team. ;(

Lent begins.

it's only because she wants tammy to fix it...or so i heard. and the thing is tammy isn't coming because she hasn't been feeling well(?) something like that. i'm sure you'll do the last 2! omg she has to. but f'sho you're going to perform the last 2 for the concert.

today was mardi gras? huh..
yeah i did ask about those necklaces and this girl told me it was from dance... ? eh i forgot.

you know my friend went to the national youth leader conference! and she made friends from different countries and it was a good experience for her. she met a boy too. lol now that's another story...

aaawww it makes me sad to hear you say that :(

although in the first place, there was suppose to be a smaller number like less than 40. it would've been so much better but she didn't add that choir yet!

but i'm still sad that you won't be in it. just singing in the sides :(
