good bye bloggy...

2009-08-25T04:17:00.000-07:00

im thinking of ending this blog and beginning a new one. blogs can get very tiring and become very boring--and im no longer inspired to write on this blog. so i'll be deleting this one shortly, but please read my new one once i make it!

Sovanna, plants, lollypops, moto breakdown, and overall a great saturday!

2009-01-17T04:56:00.000-08:00

Today I awoke at 9:30. I did not get up immediately though, so i lay in bed letting the sunshine stream in through my window, and thought about the dream I had had....

I cant remember it now but i did then...and i remember it being really interesting...sigh, i hate it when i cant remember my dreams.

Anyway, i finally got up at around 10:30-11:00 and went into my sister's room to take care of her bird....I have to because she is not here for a while. After that i came downstairs and had some cereal. after checking facebook, blogs, forums, etc etc i went to the market with my mom. i bought a david archuleta CD but ANNOYINGLY it doesnt work. ah well, what can u expect from a 2$ CD from Toul Tom Pong that is obviously not real. I will take it back and exchange it for a different one but i doubt the exchange will work either. =(

After that we zoomed home and picked up my brother then went to the plant shop. that was fun, and i bought a cute little plant for either my room or my desk.... i havent decided yet. :) its so cute!!! (i'll post piccys later)

When i got home from the plant shop i went to Sovanna and met up with Hannah. We bumped into Jae and his friend a few times. we weren't there for long though. Then Hannah and I hopped on my dad's moto and took hannah home.
My dad decided to go a different way to go home and we ended up going down this little, narrow, bumpy, dirt road. we were bumping along when suddenly the back tire on the moto completely burst! I had to get off and walk while my dad slowly drove the moto over the bumps. It was hot and i was tired.
FINALLY we came out on the main road and my dad pulled up to a moto fix-it place or whatever u want to call it =)
It took about thirty or so minutes to fix the tire! (well, at least it felt that long!) =)
we then sped home and i spent the rest of the day on the computer and TV.
It was a good saturday........

OH and i bought these yummy lollypops at Sovanna! They're so good....they're yummy flavors such as Cherry, Watermelon, Strawberry, and Sour Apple. Then in the very middle there is gum....yuuuuuuummmyyyyy =)

Winston Churchill Quotes

2008-11-17T20:28:00.000-08:00

I love some of Winston Churchill's quotes! Some are simply hilarious! here are my three favorites:

Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea. Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

This is what Churchill said about the rule to not end a sentance with a preposition: That is a rule up with which I will not put.

hoped u liked them! byebye:)

my to-do-list :)

2008-11-15T02:28:00.000-08:00

I have recently visited Meowliveshere.com.blogspot and was inspired by her to-do-list :). later that day i went to Abbysroom.blogspot.com and saw that she also made her own to-do-list. I decided that since everyone was making to-do-lists i might as well make my own! And since i have soooo many things i want to do than it makes sense to make a list! AND so! Here it is:
(by the way these arent neccessarily in order)

Learn French better
Go to France
Go to Greece
Go to Italy (and eat yummy italian bread, ham, and cheese!)
Go to England
Go to Korea
Go to Japan
Go to Indonesia
Visit the Grand Canyon
Fix my sock monkey
Clean/re-decorate my room
Learn how to play the piano better
Learn how to play the drums
Learn how to draw and come up with comics
Write a novel and get it published
Finish ALL my stories (at least the good ones)
Take proffesional photos
Read LOTR and the Silmarillion (i promised my sister i would before i die lol)
Read the Warrior series
Read all the Artemis Fowl books AGAIN

Well, thats it for now! Believe me, there is much, much more but that is all i can think of right now! :) byebye :)

fear factor

2008-08-29T20:31:00.000-07:00

well, last night was my youth group's Fear Factor Night! it was really fun :)

first, we had to eat marshmallows dipped in mustard and chilli sauce. now, at first i was like, 'ppffff, whatever, i can so do this.' but really! it was GROSS!! but i swallowed it anyway :D

then, we had to chew up gum and then mold all the people's gum together to make a sculpture. i touched a lot of it. and it was gross. we made a sculpture of mars but then we changed it to a cup. we even put water in it!

after that, we ate something that was probably the grossest thing i will ever in my whole life, forced down my throat. miss Christina mixed up in a blender.... a lucky burger hamburger, some french fries, a cup of coke, ketchup, chilli sauce, and then the gross marshmallows with mustard. yes, that is what she mixed up in the blender. and we had to drink it. not good. it was sickest thing i have EVER put in my mouth! it tasted like throw up, it smelled like throwup, and it looked like throwup. i'm not kidding. however i made myself swallow the tiniest bit and i was proud of myself but never again. NEVER again.

after that we rolled and splashed and slid and crawled in SLIME. green, gooey, yucky, SLIIIIIIIMMEE!! YUM! lol not really we didnt eat it but at the end of it i was fully covered in it, head to toe. it was all in my face and hair and some got in my mouth! anyway, it was fun.

THen, after we took 20 minutes to clean up with the hose and showers i dragged myself back out onto the basket ball court. it was spider time. YAYY!! i had been waiting to eat a spider for a long time but when i actually saw them... i could have easily changed my mind. but after a while of staring at that gross, black, curled up spider in my hand i gently ripped a leg off. i screamed. really loud. i didnt mean to but it shocked me! i had just ripped a spider's leg off! after i calmed down i got my bottle of water ready and dropped the leg into my mouth, chewed it up, and than drank some water. it wasnt that bad.... it tasted like burnt barbeque sauce and soy sauce. gross. but i ate another one. :)

then sarah's dad came to pick me and sarah and jessica up. it was fun.

well , gotta go! bye!

potato chips and a new keyboard....

2008-08-26T01:37:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone, i am currently eating "Ruffles Potato Chips, Original" and they are soooooooooooooo good!!!*pauses for a moment to grab a few more crunchy chips and stuff them in her mouth* mmm.... they're so salty! and crunchy! and aaaaaaaaaaawesooome!!!! and the ingredients are so natural! look-- potatoes (obviously, i mean, potato chips that didnt have potatoes in them??) sunflower oil (one of the healthiest oils around!!), and salt!!! thats pretty good! anyway, this was kinda a random blog post but i dont have anything else to write about sooooo.....

OH! i DO have something to tell you! and its BIG too! well, for me it's huge but probably of little interest to you but no matter, i'm going to tell you anyway :)

we.....got.... a new keyboard for the laptop!!!!!!! YAYY!! i was practically driven MAD when i couldnt use both the shift or enter keys cuz those r like important! it looks kinda weird tho, having an actually key board hooked up to a laptop but its definitely worth it! i mean, imagine not being able to do exclamation points or question marks??!!!!! imagine that!! try to type an email or a blogpost without using the shift key.......see? its hard! and frustrating! and even worse, i couldnt even chat on the chatbox on facebook! because you need an enter key to enter it and well, if the enter key doesnt work than obviously its impossible to say anything! *exhales deeply* and so, i think u see my point... hopefully, becuase i really dont want to have to explain myself all over again

pictures!!

2008-08-14T04:03:00.000-07:00

hello!! i was bored the other day and having nothing to do i began to skim through my pictures that i've taken on my camera. i found a few good ones and decided to mess with the color, contrasts, and shading. anyway, these are a few of them that i messed around with :)

there's a flamingo, which used to be a pale pink, and is now a black and orangy color......a teddy bear which in the original picture was a creamy white, now a dark, pinkish, purplish, color. and last of all a big cat that i saw at the san diego zoo... i made it darker in some areas and the contrasts darker.
i wish i had more settings to mess around with but our computer doesnt have them....oh well

books

2008-08-05T04:11:00.000-07:00

hullo!!!

have u ever heard of the "Warriors" series?? well, i have for a long time but only recently have i actually seen the books. it was in a bookstore in San Diego. I read the prologues of the first three and their backs and they sound like really great books! I also know 2 people who love the series. So, i decided i would buy the first three: INTO THE WILD, FIRE AND ICE, and FOREST OF SECRETS. But, sadly, i didnt have enough room to pack them in my suitcase so instead i decided i'd just wait until i got home and order them on Amazon. so, now that i'm back i've gone on Amazon and found the first three in a box set for only $10.87. Once i find someone to bring them back for me i'll order them and hopefully i'll like them! If i do then maybe i'll buy the next three :)

Anyway, the series is all about wild cats and them living in the forest and having to fight against the bad creatures of the woods. something like that. and from what i can see from reading the prologues they are extremely well written.

i cant wait to get them and feast my eyes on their contents. *happy sigh*

home...

2008-07-20T15:10:00.000-07:00

hello everybody! i'm in california now. in about 3 hours i'll be off to the airport to get on an airplane. well thats pretty obvious of course i'm getting on an airplane! why did i even waste time by writing that i was getting on an airplane?! If i say i'm going to an airport that pretty much implies that i'll be getting on an airplane! unless of course i was picking somebody up from the airport which i'm not! what am even talking about... i believe i'm rambling. hmm. i dont usually ramble. hmm. how interesting. hmmmmm i think i'm acting strangely. i feel weird. dont know why. huh, wonder why. i dont know why. i'm just typing. i'm not even thinking reallly. maybe i'm just in shock that i'm actually going to the airport today. and getting on a plane. and flying to taipei. and then getting on another airplane and flying home. to cambodia. home. i just cant believe it. i've been away for so long and i'm finally getting to go back!!! its like, i'm finally going to go back to my normal life! i've been living out of a suitcase for three months for goodness sake! in just 30 hours or so i'll be back home.... at my house.... playing with my dog...poking lovingly at my probably extremely fat baby guinea pigs.... stroking my silky furred bunny rabbit.....running into the house, racing up the stairs, throwing my backpack on the floor of my room and flinging myself into my bed. my very own bed. in my very own room. it seems like a dream really. a happy dream thats too good to be true, yet i know that it is true.

camping and canoe riding

2008-06-25T10:21:00.000-07:00

Hello friends!! only a few days ago my family and I were in Emminence, Missouri. we went up into the Ozarks for a 2 day camp. we tried to get a cabin but they were already full. however, we ended up at a campground called Circle B. it was by a lovely river called Jacks Fork River, and even though we didnt get a cabin we got a hotel room that was basically just like a cabin! (the only difference between our room and the cabins was that the cabins had a kitchen--and i think it's better that we didnt get a kitchen) The land around us was beautiful.... dark green leaves swayed gently in the wind and bristled as squirrels leaped to and fro among the branches. Directly behind us, down a small dip, was a campground for tents among a forest. beyond the tents the ground switched from dirt to rocks. The rocks at the bottom of the river sparkled and glimmered as the hot afternoon sun reflected off the clear, blue water. (the picture below is of the river--the water is actually not brown, but very clear. the rocks just make it look brown. farther away u can see a strip of blue water, and that is where it gets deep.) The first day we just hung around, roasted marshmallows and made s'mores (i made my very own marshmallow stick that i carved with my new carving tools!), splashed in the river and got soaked through, and just had fun!! it was awesome!

The next day we got up bright and early, put on our damp clothes from the other day, ate breakfast (granola bars and cereal), strapped on our water shoes and went outside to wait for the bus to come pick us up to take us upstream to where we would get in canoes and paddle down(we signed up for the 2 hour one). Now, u might be wondering what "water shoes" are. well, when we first got there we tried to go down to the river with bare feet. not smart. the jagged rocks scraped and hurt our feet so much it wasnt very fun at all! even in the river the sharp rocks pushed against our feet and we had to get out. so mom and kath went to Walmart (a 2 hour drive there and back) and bought water shoes. these were shoes that had thick rubber bottoms and tops that had tiny holes for water to flow in and out of them. They helped extremly well and even if they may have looked a bit dorky everyone at Circle B was wearing them so it really didnt matter.

Anyway, where was I.. ah yes, canoeing. we we going canoeing. i thought it would be as easy as kayaking but no siree i was SO wrong! first of all the paddle is one sided. you have to switch it completely around to paddle on the other side. the canoe itself is a lot bigger too. So, we started out--Mom, kath and I in one canoe, and Caleb and Dad in the other. There really is too much to tell about in one blog post so i'll just write about one exciting thing, the canoe tipping. yes, my canoe tipped. flipped over. yes, it did. looking back at it it was quite an exciting adventure but at the time it was a bit scary. i'll elaborate.

The canoe was arranged in this way: katherine was at the front, a paddle in her hand. i sat in the middle on the bottom of the canoe because i was taking a break and letting katherine paddle for a bit. behind me my mom sat also had a paddle. in the boat with us we had two towels, a plastic bag with bottled water. i had my sun glasses on and my new, tan colored hat on my head, and my blue, "glacier freeze" gatorade in my lap. my dad and caleb were already a ways ahead so they pulled up onto the rocks to wait for us. we paddled along but we got caught in a current. it pushed us towards an overhanging branch. oh no, i thought, and tried to yell suggestions to katherine to get us out of the current but it was too strong. It swept us along closer and closer to the branch. it was big and had many small branches sticking out of it, a big scraper. the other problem was that it was much to close to the water to duck beneath it. behind me my mom said, "this is gonna hurt." my, that didnt make me feel any better but there really wasnt any time to think of anything. i saw katherine put her hands up to grab the branch but it slipped from her grasp and i grabbed it too...but then, if i let go it would wack my mom in the face! to tell u the truth, i really dont know what happened next, except that the next thing i knew i was plunged into the icy cold water. it was much deeper than i thought it was and extremely cold. the rock that slammed into my knee implied that there was also big, sharp rocks beneath me. i dont know what happened but the first thing i thought was, 'mom! kath! r they alright? what if one hits her head!! oh no this is terrible!' the second thing i thought was 'ahh! my hat! my new hat! where's my hat??' i forced my eyes open and saw that everything was very dark and it soon occured to me that i was STUCK BENEATH THE CANOE. so my third thought was 'ok, i'm underneath the canoe... i'm gonna drown if i dont get back up. oh no! this is just what happens to people in movies! they get stuck beneath boats and cant get back up and they drown! ak!!' but i forced my legs to kick and my hands to push myself down and then up to the clear, glittering surface above. i burst from the water and scrambled ashore. The strange thing was is that it felt like the whole thing had taken minutes, but in reality it was just a couple of seconds!

my dad was there and he was helping mom flip the canoe over. i saw katherine splashing her way towards a paddle and then saying something about her sunglasses. where were MY sunglasses? then i realized i still had them on! haha! but then, oh no! my hat! i saw it and my mom's hat swish by and tumbled towards it. i grabbed my hat and plopped it back on my head, even though it was soaked through--it didnt matter because I was soaked through too!. i grabbed my gatorade that floated by and one of the green towels and pushed my way against the rough current to the shore. i was shaking all over and i honestly dont know whether it was the cold water or that i might have drowned that made me shiver. Whatever it was, it didnt matter because i was okay and so was katherine and mom. We had only lost the bag of water and katherine's sunglasses. the water wasnt a big deal but katherine's sunglasses had a special perscription and were REALLY expensive!

i was almost afraid to keep canoeing but i did and the rest of the ride was smooth as silk--except for a few rapids but we got through them fine.

well i hope u enjoyed reading this! it is 100% true except i may have made it a bit more dramitic than it really was...heehee

intersting, eh?

i really hate vending machines....

2008-05-31T13:45:00.000-07:00

i confess that when we first got to the US i was extremely excited about vending machines. at the hotel i used one and i loved it! u just punch in the number and slide in the $ bill and poof! there's the chocolate bar! however....this one particular vending machine in washington DC at the hotel outside is really a pathetic stupid terrible vending machine....this is the reason why..........

well, yesterday it was stormy and rainy with lightening and rain sweeping across the parking lot in front of the hotel. my mom and brother went in the car to the laundry place and my dad was getting ready to talk on the phone in the hotel room so my sister and i had to be quiet. kath began to listen to her i pod and there was nothing for me to do. dad was using both computers...one with skype and the other he was writing things down with. soo...........i was bored. and i wanted candy. and where do u get candy? a vending machine.

well, the vending machine just happened to be out in the open with no covering. but i wanted that chocolate reesus peanut butter cups. and so, i took 4 quarters and put them in my pocket and tramped 3 levels down the wet stairs and with big drops of rain and roaring wind splashing against me i stepped up to the candy apple red vending machine and looked through the rain splattered glass at the candy and crackers and chips inside. reesus peanut butter cups was #52. so, i put the four quarters in the slot and pushed 5. but the 5 didnt light up and it didnt show on the screen that i had pushed 5. so i pushed 5 again. and before i knew was was happening the machine went CA CHING and i realized that the machine thought i said 55. i didnt want number 55!! i stared at #55 as it fell into the open slot before me. cheese crackers. a crack of lightening lit up the sky and with a crash of thunder i felt even more cold rain pour out of the cloudy sky and drench me to my skin. i stood there, wet and mortified, staring at the cheese crackers. i had just used a WHOLE dollar on CHEESE CRACKERS!!! I DIDNT WANT CHEESE CRACKERS!!!!!!!!!!! after a while i finally leaned down and picked up the hated cheese crackers. i stomped back up the three flights of stairs. when i got to our room i swung open the door just as a crack of thunder went CRASH. seroiusly, it was like in a movie! my dad looked at me--drenched wet, hair flung everywhere, and with a grumpy face.
"what's wrong?"
"the stupid vending machine gave me CHEESE CRACKERS!!" i pouted, and through the crackers down on the floor.
so, i headed back down with more coins and this time punched in the right number. nothing happened. i did it again and again and again and again but it didnt move. so i got my coins back and concluded that maybe the vending machine only used quarters. i tramped back upstairs to get 4 quarters but on the way up i bumped into a lady dressed up as if for a party and she looked at me as if i was crazy (i didnt have any shoes, my jeans were rolled up, i was soaked through and my hair was wet and stringy. i could feel my face turning red and i mumbled a small "eh, sorry" and hurried on. after much trouble i got 4 quarters (i had to trade other coins with katherine to get quarters). then i skipped down again sure that i would get those reesus peanut butter cups. but, as i glanced from the stairs down at the vending machine i saw the lady that i had bumped into at the vending machine. (it wasnt pouring rain now only sprinkling) i went back up to the room and waited. when i was sure she was gone i started back up the stairs but then i saw that she was coming UP the stiars! i slipped and stumbled back to room and shut the door behind me quickly (by now my dad was loooking at me strangely, but continued talking on his important phone call). finally, i went BACK downstairs. the lady was gone and the vending machine refused to work. i gritted my teeth and kicked the machine. that was stupid of me. it hurt REALLY bad! with a humph and a uuuuugggh i pulled drenched self up the 3 flights of stairs and got a dollar bill. then i went back downstairs and jammed the bill into the slot. it slid in perfectly only to be pushed back out by the machine. it must be crumpled. AARRGHH!!!! i was SO frustrated and tired and cold and angry but i was NOT going to let that vending machine win... no...i was going to get those reesus peanut butter cups no matter what. i needn't have to tell you what happened next because i'm sure u kno. yes, i went BACK upstairs to get a different dollar. i didnt have one. my dad saw my problem and tossed me his crispest bill. back i went and gently put the dollar in. it got a bit wet but i did go in! but then it came out. i think i almost passed out. but, at the moment my brother came back from the laundry. i told him everything and he simply punched in the number of the candy that i wanted and slid the bill in. THUMP!! the candy dropped into bowl. i blinked. i reached down at the candy and picked it up. i blinked again. need i say more??

i eat just like a hobbit!!!

2008-05-27T13:51:00.000-07:00

hello! sometimes i amaze myself at how much i can eat! really, yesterday i had 1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, elevensies, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper--just like a hobbit!! i'm not joking! for 1st breakfast i chowed down a blueberry begal with butter; 2nd breakfast was a bowl of cheerios; elevensies was a ham and cheese sandwich; lunch was crackers with ham and cheese with ranch dressing (my cousins think its gross but seriously, its good); afternoon tea was a ruby red grapefruit, dinner was pizza, and supper was chocolate chip cookies with orange juice! lol i know that the last thing isnt really what you'd call supper but whatever =D

well that's it for now!! bye!

(abby! u used 2 think he was mean!!) anywayz....did u see david archuleta's smile when him and david cook went up onto that little stand behind the judges??! it was huge! he was obviously really really happy for david cook. and i watched an interview with archie before the finale and he said that it would awesome to win american idol but he would also be happy if david cook won becuz david cook has been like a brother to him. AWWW! thats so sweet ! :) and then david cook said in his interview that he wouldnt mind at all if he got second place becuz that archie is such a great guy and awesome kid with an amazing voice and he really deserves to win! isnt that nice? it was so stupid how they kept showing clips of boxers. that was dumb. it was like they were trying to make it look like archie and cook were really fighting for the win and they wernt! david cook said before they sang on the singing night Top 2 that as far as he's concerned the competition is over! anywayz i believe i've rambled. lol.

BYE!

PS. ARCHIE AND COOK ROCK!!!!!

more american idol.............

2008-05-10T07:48:00.000-07:00

Who will win American Idol? David Archuleta? David Cook? Syesha Mercado? who?who?who?!?!?!?? I, personally, think that David Archuleta will win. well, i hooope that he wins. he's my favorite. I think syesha will go this week, cuz she isnt as popular as David A and David C. David archuleta has SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many fans.......but so does David cook................here i have unlimited high speed internet so i''ve been watching soooo many videos of interveiws with david archuleta and then some interveiws with his friends. also, his whole highschool loves him so he'll be getting THOUSANDS of votes from all them! also, they have these awesome little clips each week of backstage where they ask them funny questions like, one week it was what super power would u have? it was hilarious!! and the latest one was what r ur pet peeves? that was HYSTERICAL i cant get over it!!!! its so awesome........:):):) its at youtube and to find it just type in the search box "american idol top 5 pet peeves" check it out, its SOO FUNNY!!

anyway, its awsome cuz here on tv its LIVE! so its like, wow, what they're doing is actually happening RIGHT NOW! so cool :) i might get to go to the tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIGHT. i dont kno if we'll really go or not cuz its expensive and stuff but its a possibilty! that would be soo cool....

its so weird reading the comments below pictures and videos becuz there's such a conflict between david archuleta and david cook. like, the first comment will say that she likes david archuleta, the next will be david cook, the 3rd will say that david archuleta is awesome, and the nxt will say i hate david a david cook is awesome...and then the 5th comment will have someone sayin that david cook is so proud and stuck up and has a terrible voice and that david archuleta is so sweet and has the most amazing voice in the world....and so on and so on!!! i just cant tell who's getting the most votes!!

alrighty, i gotta go!! byebyebye :):):)

More doUGHnuts!

2008-03-20T23:41:00.000-07:00

well abby if u insist i shall spell it as doUGHnuts! so everyone, today i'm going to write about doUGHnuts. yesyes meowie they are Krispy Kreme doUGHnuts!! *slobbers* dont theeeese look delicous! dont worry people, i'll eat LOTS of krispy kreme doUGHnuts for u guys while i'm in the US so dont u worry.... lol.

anyway, just look at that glazed doUGhnut! so crispy and sweet and moist!! only a doUGHnut can truly melt in your mouth.....that sweetness splashing over your tongue as you bite into it! aaaahhhh...the soft....sugary....taste..........

now, its different if you have a powdered jelly filled one. with your first bite you will find a thick coating of powdered sugar on your tounge and around your mouth. swishing your tongue around the sweet powder will come off and slide down your throat. then, u will lick it from around your mouth and again ur mouth will be full of that sugary powder....just imagine it.....with your second but ur mouth will not only be filled with powdered sugar but a yummmmyyy jelly....plus the doUGHnut part. all of this will mix together in your mouth and u will gulp it down in delight!!

i shouldnt bother to keep writing because i'm sure that your computers have already blown up.

The horse competition

2008-02-14T19:30:00.000-08:00

Hello my lovely readers!! Sooo sorry i haven't been updating this blog so much but i've been SO busy!! And today i'm going to post about what i was so busy with!! Alright, there was this horse competition at the horse stables and i signed up! Let me explain this complicated process by which all we competitors must endure to try to win that lovely... gorgeous... dazzling.... stunning....GOLD MEDAL!!! Anyways, yes, where was i?--oh ya. *clears throat* the competition is stretched out by 3 seperate days. The first day we will ride a course of 6 jumps. We will be timed and we will be given penalties if we knock a poll down, walk, miss a jump, or jump on the side of a jump. Each penalty is worth 4 points (yes, points are BAD. make a note of that) Usually, if someone falls off they get completley eliminated but this year they did it a little different so if someone falls off their horse they get about 10 points. The first day everybody will go into the and and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ribbons will be given to whoever got those places. The second day is pretty much the same, but this time with a different course and more jumps. Points will be added up for ONLY that day and prizes will be given out. THEN, the THIRD day/week there will be even MORE jumps and an entirely different course. Ribbons will be given out for that day. Then, the judges will add up ALL the points for EVERY day and see who is the CHAMPION!! there's also 2nd and 3rd place medals. :)

Phew!! alright! that's it....:) Let me explain now what happened in those 3 weeks because not everything went as smooth as it sounds like.

The first week Hannah, Katherine and I hopped in the car dressed in our jogpers, chaps, boots, and white collared shirts. On our laps sat our black jackets, crops, water bottles, and Hannah had her black velvety pretty shiny beautiful gorgeous helmet (i'm so jealous...grr..while she has her nice very own helmet i've got to wear those sweat-stinky-, mosquito-filled, broken up old hats!!) On the long car ride butterflies swarmed in our stomachs and the panic set in. Surprisingly though, once we stepped out of that car and smelled that musty hay horsie smell the butterflies were gone and we were ready to go!

i was sad to see that i was Kapris. She's good--but just a bit too small for my taste. Anyways, this was who everybody was on:
Hannah: Unique
Maddy: Cheyanne
Katherine: Unique
Rebecca: Radical
Caroline: Achador
Emma: Achador

I watched the gallop twoers (we're gallop fourers) do their thing until Kapris finished and it was time for me to go and warm her up. She was obidient enough but i just dont like her in general. Then, i got off and walked around the arena with all the others and miss soraya who showed us the course and where to go and stuff. Well, it didn't seem too hard a course...i would probably remember it. So, when it was my turn i rode in and trotted Kapris up to the judge stand. i saluted(in a French way) and said my name and who i was riding. Then, the bell ringed loud and clear and i was off! All fear and panic and nervousness vanished as i lunged over those jumps! But then, kapris's leg hit a pole and i received 4 points. But oh well, the rest was great! i cantered over the finish line and out of the arena. That was the first week, i got 5th place. .....arggh...but oh well!!! After i demounted from Kapris i went over to Maddy, who was waited for her turn. I shared some of my Royal D with her and then she went. I hurried back to the seats to watch. This is who won 1st 2nd and 3rd:

1st: Hannah
2nd: Emma
3rd: Caroline

The second week i was on Unique. Okay.... i thought to myself. unique was good for Hannah last week, maybe he'll be good today. This is who everyone was on:

Hannah: Radical
Maddy: Achador
Katherine: Gabelou
Rebecca: Achador
Caroline: Gabelou
Emma: Unique

Sadly, i only got 3rd place. I had knocked down another pole...

Katherine fell off Gabelou but she mounted that big hunk of horse again and finshed the course! She had hurt her arm badly but that didn't stop her!!Rebecca also fell off, but she finished it too! This is who won that week:

1st: Maddy
2nd: Emma
3rd: Kristine

it was SO fun when i got to canter out of the arena, with my yellow ribbon fluttering in the breeze and the bag of French mints imported from France crunching and crackling in my hand.

Hannah was on Radical and she decided not to canter him so that's why she fell behind a bit. But i agree with her decision..i mean, it's like, if she had tried to canter Radical anything could have happened and he might have knocked down a pole, thrown her...there's numerous things. The good thing is is that she kept him in control!

Then...the last week....i desperately wanted to ride Achador because he is SO good and i LOVE him!! I looked at that list and a great big smile formed on my face...i WAS riding Achador!! ooohh!! yay! I knew that today was my chance to win! today was my chance to shiiiiiiiiine! i knew since i had 8 points and was in 4th place and 3rd place i didn't have a chance to win 2nd place but i knew that 3rd was still possible. This is who everybody rode:

Hannah: Achador
Maddy: Unique
Katherine: couldn't ride--hurt arm still painful and swollen

Rebecca: Unique
Caroline: Radical
Emma: Kapris

I rode second..right after Rebecca. I walked up to the judge and said proudly, "Hello, my name is Kristine Burgess and I am riding Achador..." as i said Achador's name i reached down and gave him a pat or two. I gripped the reigns and held them firmly, planted myself to the saddle and gripped my legs and put my heels down. I was ready. The bell rang and i gave Achador a kick. He started off slow and so i gave him a soft swat with my crop and he sped up a ton! I cantered over the 1st jump, 2nd jump, 3rd jump, 4th jump---and then my mind went blank. Where was the 5th jump??? i glanced frantically around the arena, my eyes searching for #5. Where was it?!!? i began to trot so that i would have more time to find it. Then i saw it. I kicked Achador and cantered again. Over the 5th jump i went. I made a quick turn and kicked. I held my reigns firm but i wasn't pulling.. I saw the 6th and last jump ahead of me. Achador saw it too. Both our eyes were glued forward. Achador tore through the air, his mane flowing back, revealing his blazing eyes. he wanted it. and so did i. We gallopped up to the jump and without hesitation we were soaring over those polls. Achador and I. Me and Achador. Flying through the air, the wind in my hair.... We gallopped past the finish line and i pulled him to a controlled canter, then a trot, and then a walk. I went out of the arena, hugging and giving Achador big pats on the neck. I dismounted and began to walk him over to the water trough. Maddy and Hannah and Rebecca came rushing up to me, exclaiming with delight "you were great!!" "good job!" "wow, Kristine, you looked amazing out there!!" "Thanks!" i replied, in a breathlesss smile. And then i realized how tired i was. My throat was parched dry and my legs were wobbly. I handed Achador over to Hannah and Maddy and made my way to my mom. I passed Helen and she congratulated me and said i did great out there. My mom gave me a biiiiiiiig hug and also said that i did wonderfly!! I was soooo happy!! Trevor also said i did an awesome job and showed me that he had filmed me. I didn't get 1st place that day but i did get 3rd again. Hannah got first and Maddy got 2nd. Then, the judges added up all the points and Hannah had gotten 1st place, Maddy 2nd, and Emma 3rd. Hannah got a gold medal, Maddy got a silver medal, and Emma got a bronze medal. Then, Hannah went home. It had been a fun day and even though i didn't win i felt like i did! Maddy, Kath and I sat together on a bench and watched the gallop fivers jump. Afterwards, when EVERYBODY was going home, Maddy and I walked timidly up to Miss Soraya and asked her if this Wednesday we could ride bare back. To our surprise, she said yes! not just yes, but "of course"!! We shrieked with delight as we ran away laughing and giggling.

Anyway, i hope you enjoyed that! my next post will be all about how we rode bareback on Wednesday! bye! -krispy

ps. oh ya and the pic above is of me on Achador!!

Spark!

2008-02-05T02:25:00.000-08:00

Hello, my wonderful readers!! Today i would like to discuss Spark, my gorgeous little doggie!! Check out this pic--look, she's smiling!!! When we moved to our new house she already lived in it and so we got to keep her for free! Kinda like "rent one house, get one dog free"! Anyway, she's soooooo adorable! (as you can see, of course!) Spark has a totally unique personality. Sometimes she'll scurry up the wooden ladder of the tree house and then run down the slide!! She has a porch swing which she loves to lay on and rock back and forth. Spark was originally going to be an outside dog only, but slowly, she's worked her way inside. Now, she's working her way upstairs!! I have a funny feeling that she will succeed! Anyways, Spark loves to eat! Food is her LIFE. She eats ANYTHING. And by anything i mean EVERYTHING--except vegetables. That's the only thing she doesn't eat. But still, I'm talking from meat, to fruit! Well, that's it for now, byebye!! -krispy
