Birthday

My birthday is coming fast! I created a birthday website/blog on tumblr, and people can share birthday wishes, view pictures of the party, and view my wish list to give them ideas on what to give me. As you've probably noticed, on the right there is a slideshow of pictures from my twelfth birthday! I'm starting to plan my bday party(s) now! Yay!

Summer!

It's finally SUMMER! No school, sun, more relaxation time, more fun. Right?

Wrong. I'm heading to Canada for skating this summer, and it's truly the hardest work I've ever done. You don't get a rest for the whole 2.75 hours and 1 hour off ice. Scratch that relaxation time and fun.

As for sun? Well, we are extremely lucky when we get a ray of sunshine. The weather channel is predicting nice weather next week, so lets keep our fingers crossed. But for now, sun is off the list.

No school..well I can't argue with that! :)

The Nifty Fifties

I'm performing the Nifty Fifties musical by Pioneer Drama Co. with my musical theatre program at school. I am one of the main characters, Rose Marie Famiano. It's a really fun musical! We are performing sometime in May.

Seattle Skating Club 75th Anniversary Ice Show

I went to the SSC ice show yesterday with my friends, Kacie and Shoritah. They were both in it. It was a fun show, and my favorite act was Amanda Hoffman's "Miracle" program. Amanda is an amazing skater! It was fun to see Joe again (aka Jumping Joe), and I ran into my friend Martine. She lives in Bellingham, but skates over in Canada with Scott and I sometimes. The announcer spoke way too slow, but it was a nice night.

Bike Riding

Cam learned how to ride his bike yesterday! We all peddled around the neighborhood. It is sunny and was sunny yesterday too. Great accomplishment. Go Cam!

Path

Do you have a Path account? Probably not. Most people ask me: "What is Path?"

Path is a facebook kind of thing. My parents aren't allowing me to get a FB, but they did allow me to get a Path account. Path only lets you view the profile of people that have accepted your request of friendship. It is kind of like an online journal that you share with friends. You can put in if you are awake or asleep, what music you are listening to, what you are thinking or doing (this part is exactly like FB), you can share pictures and videos, you can share where you are, and you can share who you are with.

I actually like it better than FB, despite that almost nobody is on it. Try it out! It is free, easy to use, and fast. I highly recommend it. Just go to the AppStore and download Path. It's that easy.

And then you can ask for my username!

P.S. Under the "Cool Links" at the bottom of the page, I will post a link to the path website. It has a demo and an option to create an account..even if you haven't downloaded the app yet!

Rain Pros and Cons

RAIN:

Pros

• Stops plants and grass from getting all dried out

• Puddles to splash in
• If there isn't any rain, there is no rainbows!

Cons

• You need sun for photosynthesis (flowers, plants)
• Cold and wet
• Gets muddy and sometimes splashes
• Cars always splash the puddles all over
• Doesn't make you as happy as when it is sunny and warm and bright
• If there isn't any sun, no rainbows!

Rain Poem

Tricklin' Rain

That drip drop across my window

That cold splash down my spine

That little sprinkle that makes me shiver

It's raining once again

I thought it was supposed to shine

And help the flowers bloom

Instead the trickling dribbling rain

Is falling on our faces

Isle of the Sun Song

Isle of the Sun

On an island faraway..

Past the cities, past the dramas

Across the sea and through the meadows

My Isle of the Sun awaits

It has flowers, and trees, and music, and laughter

And peace, happiness, forgiveness, no sorrow

When I need to leave my home

I travel to my Isle

Chorus:

The place I love

A safe place

The place I live

A kind place

A place where laughter and song fills the air

And sunshine smiles down on faces

I Travel To The

Isle of the Sun

Easter Poem

Easter

A fun holiday in Spring

What does it bring?

Only flowers, colors, and candy

And children acting all dandy

They search for eggs

Can I please eat candy? I hear begs

They love the bunny that brings

The candy and treats in the Season of Spring

For the adults, it isn't candy

Or running around acting dandy

It's a religious treat

They don't find treats and eat

Easter

A holiday in Spring
