Happy birthday to ME! Well this is a day late but I will talk about my bday yesterday. I didn't really do much yesterday for my birthday because it was 1) a weekday 2) no time right now to "celebrate" because i am cramming for aps/sats. so i just had a normal day except i could feel the love from my friends. haha. tiffany made me cute cupcakes. they were yummy. we have CSATs this week (california standardized testing) so tuesday to thursday has been half days and we only have first period and we test in first period. after school (ended like 12:25?), i had ap chem lab from like 12:30-2pm. yeah that was "fun". it was a pretty easy lab tho. and we got to eat nachos!!! then after that, i walked over to michelle's house to study for ap us history. i studied with michelle and maggie and then angelo, hanh and min came over later. we studied like like a couple hours. then later it was just me and maggie and michelle. we decided to camwhore and attempt at vlogging. our vlog was confusing and crazy. it was too much at once. so i dont think we will post it anytime soon haha. then we went to baskin robbins's 31 cents a scoop event. we waited in line for 30 minutes for our ice cream! we saw tons of kids from school and there was a band playing. it was fun. it was good ice cream. it was worth the wait. but yeah then went home.





overall, simple birthday but it was a good one.
i think i am getting to those ages where i dont really care for birthdays anymore actually.
age is just becoming a number. tho yay i can see rated R movies (SOMEONE TAKE TO SEE HAROLD AND KUMAR!!) but being seventeen? nothing special.
birthdays are just an excuse to party.


hope i can have a party after aps and everything.
im planning to just throw pool party/potluck with friends to celebrate end of the year and survival of junior year and goodbye to mysenior friends.
augh i hope my parents can handle 20+ people at our house.

christina.

p.s. i am sad you don't get to see a pic of my whole outfit. i had some cool red tights on. they were pretty damn snazzy.

today.

so today i participated in this “project runway” for my school’s renaissance rally. the rally theme was reality tv, so they had a “project renaissance” for us. there were six contestants, including myself, and we had fourty-five minutes to make an outfit out of scratch (like on project runway!). it was actually really ridiculous. we had to supply our own fabric and people even brought in sewing machines! the only thing i brought in was a glue gun, fabric, shoes, and leggings. i think i did a pretty decent job for the “fourty-five” minutes we were given… but i think the other contestants did a lot better than me. so i guess you could say that i was pretty freaking surprised when i found out i had won! but yeah, i did. and i burned my hands about five times just to get that prize too, so i guess i’m happy i won. I’m going to get two tickets to senior ball, which I’m going to exchange for $70 :) ahhh, i’d go into the details of the whole thing, but i’m kind of tired. just know.. that i used a lot of staples to put that dress together and a lot of hot glue gunning. no sewing at all! hah, how lame, i know! i had also forgotten to measure her (my friend mai’s) booty so there was a big upside down V in the back of her butt, because there wasn’t enough fabric to cover it. haha. it was sexy though. and although I don’t think my outfit was the best, i know it looks better in person, than it does in these pictures. i had a jump rope, two pieces of ribbons, and artificial flowers that I had to incorporate into my dress… hopefully you can see that in there. i did such a bad job, really. that dress was falling off of mai. lol. but i let her keep it, since she liked it so much.

we went to this french film festival on a fieldtrip last thursday and watched this movie called L’esquive. i thought it was a pretty good movie, but a lot of people didn’t like it. i liked the fact that it showed me a whole entire side of france and french culture i had never even really thought about! but i guess some people didn't find it too appealing. it was different. today i found out from melanie though, that it’s won about twelve awards in france! and that kinda blew my mind, although it didn't, all at the same time. (haha, i just checked youtube, and they actually have the whole movie up.)

well, before the movie actually started, there were these two cute short films. I really liked this one called Clik Clak. I didn’t really understand it… but it was cute and sad. this one i found on youtube is in english, so maybe you'll get it better than i did the first time.

today is, my mother's birthday.
happy birthday mom! today is my half birthday.
today is my second month anniversary.
