Summer!

SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE! Thank goodness.

Ended the semester without my GPA changing (whew!) and all A's. I got really lucky. Must work harder next year! ):

The first thing I did when I got out of school was go to Olivia's birthday party. (I love you Olivia). Some pics from the party:
g-dwag, yours truly, and mr.bond in the flesh

I LOVE THIS PHOTO A LOT HAHAHA (of course olivia is smiling)

I sang her a lil' song :) The party was super fun. I wanna own a house like that someday.
Next day: my party! Bridget slept over and helped me SOO much with the decorations/props/everything. Could not have done it without her. 
Some pics:
Streamers! and jars

16 helium balloons


Beautiful cake! So yummy and pretty :)


Oops...we kind of went overboard

The aftermath

Lovely macarons/deserts from OuiDesserts

We put up a blank canvas and let people paint all over it


Bridget made most of the cute Photo Booth props

 I basically couldn't stop taking photos

I have a slight obsession with mason jars

I am just very proud of the decorations and the look of the party as a whole.
After that party, we went to another one. It was pretty fun! 

This photo is basically the party
3 parties in 2 days! I love being busy. I am looking forward to a lot more DIY stuff this summer. Adios.

What's poppalockin

Ugh I've been so busy, and kind of been procrastinating. Oops. Here are some of my head shots I took with Joelyn! We took like 100+ photos (oops)






These were for my reauditions. Oops. Reauditions. Didn't do too well. Landed up in the middle category. I'm just really torn between wanting to learn about acting even though I get TERRIBLE grades in acting class and sticking to what I'm good at-design. Sigh. 

Anyway, the all school musical is the Sound of Music (ehh). I got publicity for the show and will be making videos like this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-R9Ux4dbSw) for the show. You should watch my video if you haven't! I am quite proud of it! It turned out a lot better than I expected but kind of exactly how I wanted it to look. 

Finals week, and then FREEEEDOM for 2 months! I'm so excited. I will be spending my summer wisely. Oh yeah, my friend Isabella wrote a YouTube series. I auditioned for the show and got a role! Yay. So that's happening. I'm excited. 

I NEED TO SHOP. The need is real. Stay freshhhh + I will be posting a lot of tips/DIY stuff over the summer.

Bye for now :)

Showcases

My first show at HSPVA is over! Suffice to say, I had an amazing experience. Loved working with so many talented people, and of course the lovely and beautiful Ms. Cynthia Ogden. She is such a great director. Performing and acting make me so happy. I'm excited for next year, maybe I'll actually get a lead role in something. My favourite scene was the "Tet Prediction" scene when I was a colonel! It was so great working with my friends and the people I love.

In other news, I'm thinking of my 16th birthday party and what I want to do. I was thinking of having a really nice tea party, pastel-themed, where there would be jelly donuts, macarons, cupcakes, and lemon tarts and we could all sing and take polaroids and just chill and have fun. We could also go to the Houston preview of the movie "Malificent". IDK. We'll see. I'm excited though :-)

Last weekend, I made some bacon egg cups; they turned out PRETTY WELL.

Bacon Egg Cups

 Stuff you need:

  • Muffin tray
  • Bacon (I got uncured)
  • Eggs (number depends on how many you want to make, I got organic brown ones)
  • Herbs (I have rosemary, but anything works)
  • Cottage cheese (optional)
Materials
Line your pan with oil & fry the bacon till its edges are a golden colour, but not too brown because it's still going to cook in the oven.


Pat your bacon to soak up excess + unhealthy oil (but not too much, will explain why later)
Cut your bacon stripes into ½ to line them criss cross like the one in the foreground, or about ¾ of the way for it to be circular, like the one at the top in the middle
Since the bacon is already slightly greasy, you don't need to line the pan with cooking oil.
Crack the eggs into the muffin cups! Add salt, pepper, herbs, and cottage cheese.
Bake for 12-15 mins in the oven @ 400 degrees Farenheit

Take out with a knife (if it's sticky) and enjoy! :-)

Farenheit 451 is SO SO interesting! I hope the end doesn't disappoint though.

Galveston (more commonly referred to as "Galvy")

Well... my weekend has been pretty eventful, to say the least. It all started out with........
a sleepover at Sammie's house! She was supposed to pick me up at 5:30 but came at 9:30 instead.. it's alright though, we had fun
Her condo is really REALLY NICE (??) This is the main lobby area place. Perfect selfie place
Also her dog pooped freaking everywhere so she had to clean up its mess

V. cool coffee machine? We had hot cocoas
 I hadn't been to Galveston before, but I think it was a little over-glorified. Still, it was super fun. Happy Birthday Ragan!
A first glance at Galveston

Some stuff on sale @ the flea market.

Ok, so this shop was selling beady things?
This stall was really weird.. they were selling things to wear on your feet (?) I didn't think it was practical at all, considering it was $20 for a pair of weird things you could put on your feet.

BEACH DAY
We saw this banner thing at a stall and someone helped us take a photo. My neck looks ratchet.

Pretty Cafe

The beach in a small jar! I thought this was so pretty

 We got tired of shopping, so we went to a place called "Mosquito Cafe". Kind of weird cause everyone there was white, so they all stared at me when I went in. I order quesadillas with Spinach and mushroom! The potato salad was really good! I loved it. Ragan got a Spinach pasta, Sammie shrimp tacos, and Qualee a steak sandwich. We couldn't finish the meal.

Peep my food

I'd give it a 7.5/10. Weird tables and a shit ton of birds. But good food

We met Ms. Elmore and her family at the cafe
What a nice and weird coinkydink! We sang Ragan the birthday song in public.
The beach! 

A picture! IDK what my mouth is doing. But I look good so it's ok

YEET!
 We met Cameron at the beach and we all went for ice cream. We also *tried* to play sports. #PVA

I swear I only eat cookies and cream ice cream. The guy was nice and gave me 2 scoops even though I paid for one
He probably felt bad for me or something


All our ice cream! :-)
We went shopping some more after that. I bought some fantastic smelling shea butter soap for my mom and for anyone else as a birthday gift. We all got matching shirts. We went for dinner at this place called "The Spot". Interesting concept. Everything there was fried.

Summary: Galveston is nice when you ignore the drunk people and the scary people. Happy Birthday Ragan.

Came home at around 10:30pm (?) I had so much fun though. I love hanging out with my friends.

Adios
