lvoe, kat.

So I got that henna tattoo right? (I know, the lady did a horrible job at drawing a CUTE owl) I thought it was ohkay looking. I’ve always thought about getting a tattoo until I realized I’m really indecisive and get sick of things easily. But I still like them but wouldn’t get an actual one. So I got a HENNA tattoo that lasts like 2 weeks. Well when I got this henna tattoo, I actually felt COOL with it! It looks great with my bracelet and everthing, ya know!? I felt artistic and all.

Until I went to the temple.

I forgot all about my henna tattoo. But when I did finally notice it as I was tying my hair, my heart stopped. I felt like the dirtiest person there. I went with my ward and I just felt DIRTY. Inside and out. I didn’t even want to walk out of the bathroom! I looked around me and everything was so white, clean, and just.. PURE. And then I see me in the mirror with the tattoo on my wrist. I felt disgusting.

I’ve always had nothing against tattoos. I’ve always thought it was just something that people express themselves with. And when I got it, I felt pretty cool and creative and artistic! But the moment I stepped foot in the temple, I felt disgusting. I’m so glad it wasn’t permanent. I’m so glad I’m keeping my body clean… I’m keeping the temple my Heavenly Father gave me CLEAN.

It's kinda great having a job, getting money, and having no bills or rent to pay off!
(minus $300 for my car insurance every 6 months. That doesn't count and $36 for my Disney pass every month. That DEFINITELY doesn't count:P)

So I make about $150-$220 a week.
I spend it mostly on food...... In n Out to be exact. /).- <-- my new favorite smiley for my reason
I decided to save! Guess what I'm saving for!

1) SoCal MG Utah trip on June 30-July 8th, course. About $180 for plane ticket and $150-$200 for everything else?!

2) Wii with Wiii games like Little Big Planet, Mario Party, Just Dance, etc!

3) Xbox 360 with Call of Duty: MW2, Halo: Reach, Left 4 Dead, etc.

That is all:) I know! I'm saving up for important stuffs! SO COOL!!!

I really should be saving up for a used car....... since I can't even get out of the drivers side and have to crawl over to the passenger side to get out of the car.

... nah!

Utah trip, Wii, and Xbox!!!! :)



This Ashley Massey girl is officially moving down here to Westminster. And she has a Disney pass now. WHAT GREAT JOY!!! :)

I had a really long day. It was very.... interesting!

1) Work from 10:30am - 5pm
2) Dinner with the missionaries
3) Call of Duty & Little Big Planet for an hour and a half.
4) Last minute baptisms at the Newport Beach Temple!
5) Islands with the churchies!

I feel so pooped!! I'm so glad I don't have to wake up early for work tomorrow. I'm gonna snuggle in bed and watch Glee, Hellcats, and play WITH MY NEW GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that my friend, Eduardo let me borrow for my PSP since all I have is Grand Theft Auto >.>)

yummm!!

I'm tired of the MG group. It's not the same as it was 10 months ago when I first joined. It's changed... and it sucks because these girls are supposedly going to be "supporting" me for the next 13 months.... I actually just felt like I got attacked when I posted a simple question on the MG wall. If I have had posted that a few months ago, it would've been a completely fine question with funny answers! I WOULD KNOW BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS ASKED IT BEFORE. And we just joked about it together but now when I asked it, people are just attacking me:(

I just wanna say: to the new girls who has joined in the group within the last 2-3 months... the MG group wasn't always like this. It started changing like 3 months ago (more or less!?). Can we just PLEASE be a support system again? I always though this group would help me with my waiting for 2 years but it's only been 10 months.. I need the group to help me keep waiting! I want girls who has actually SUPPORTED me to celebrate with me when Daniel comes home

The MG group has been a big part of my waiting life. IT HELPED ME SOOOO FREAKIN MUCH. And most of my close friends are now MGs from all around the world!! I want the future MGs to experience what I experienced when I first joined. I don't want them to be attacked and be afraid to post comments and such. Now I'M afraid to post things!

I use to refer girls I met to the MG group when i meet them on TUMBLR but now I'm scared to.. I think they're better off without it!:(

So I don't know.. just start being friendly and happy and POSITIVE in the group again, yeah? Thanks. And also start posting positive things... I rarely see that now!:(

I LOVE YOU MGS!

I haven't had time to sit down and blog. I also haven't had time to sit down and read blogs!
But I'll do that now while I eat my lunner (lunch and dinner). YAY I love reading blogs!:)

What a short blog.. uhh I'll post a video I guess.



me and my old instrument:) i'm in the back lol

OH!!! I got a sock monkey. From Natasha. In the mail. TODAY!! :)
It loves me alreadyy!

Some of the Disneyland cast members recognize me now because of my heart shaped glasses (esp. the blue one!)

My school is selling a lot more colors and I'll buy them later on this week but today, I just bought the red and purple one to add onto my collection....

Disneyland soon to hang out with ALIX!!!! ANOTHER MG:) Yay! First time meeting her.. AT DISNEYLAND!! But first my dad wants quality time with me so he's bringing me to KFC... great! Hahaha

Guys, seriously.
Check out Natasha's Sock Monkey shop. I'm going to buy one after I blog this.

She's been making sock monkeys and I remember seeing them on her blog and I freaked out cause they were so cute! So she made a tutorial. I attempted it.... not the best thing ever... it's not cute at all.... I didn't even finish it.

The problem was I didn't know how to sew. I just tried it because I really wanted to make a sock monkey. Haha!

But yeah, she's doing a giveaway! Go to her blog and enter!



^^ that button leads to her blog.

But if you like this button better, then click this one:



... both lead to the same blog. Go figure.

Well I'm going to go buy one now.
I really don't know which one to get:( I thought I liked the dark gray with cream hearts scarf but then I started liking the orange one as well and it's baby sized!!:) Which is cuterr but then I also like that one.. and that other one.. and that other one.... hmmm.................

AND IT'LL BE FROM THE UK!
Where Daniel is at:) yeah, thats riiiight!

So I came home at 10PM and saw mail on my desk!!!!

First one I see has handwriting so of course I get happy! It was from Elder Do!


Then the next one I see is a random picture of a monkey on my desk. I thought it was a picture my little sister printed out and left on my desk.


Little did I know, IT WAS A POSTCARD FROM DANIEL♥!!! He promised he'd send postcards while he's on his mission and he's finally doing it.


Then I see a very important looking letter....... I was a little scared.


BUT LOOK WHAT WAS INSIDE!!!!!!!


My new Premium annual pass to Disneyland! I just renewed it 2 days ago and it got here!


If I checked the mail before I left to Disney this morning, it would've saved a lot of trouble.

My nails had a photoshoot today! I really like 'em. They looked so pretty today. So I asked if they wanted a photoshoot and they wanted one so bad so look! They posed with a plain background. They posed with a Disney Princess background. They posed with themselves wrapped around my Disney water bottle. Gosh, ain't they pretty! They're getting shy as I'm typing this.

See... they're just staring at the screen as I'm typing this.

1) Waking up at noon and wasting half the day.

2) Waking up sleepy and debating whether or not to skip class... and then just falls back asleep.

3) Running out to get the mail looking hideous (the morning look!).

4) Checking the mailbox to find that the mail has not come yet and walks back into the house like an idiot but pretending nothing happened in case somebody outside is watching.

5) Sitting in front of the computer and being a bum the minute she woke up.


I think I'm going to start out every of my post with the guilty stuff I did that day. Yessir! Today is Thursday. Here's a video. I don't know what Thursday and video have to do with each other but enjoy.

1) Procrastinating all the time. (Even after giving a persuasive speech about not procrastinating.)

2) Agreeing to tons of plans. From different people. Problem? It's usually at the same day at the same time. She just believe that she's superwoman and can be at all these places at once.

(Tomorrow plans? School until 4pm, dinner with the missionaries at 5pm [it's rush hour on the freeway from school so she'll have to rush!], Cherry On Top with Alejandra at 6pm and bring them to Lety at work, help Derrick set up his prom asking idea at 7pm, missionary lesson with an investigator at 8pm.)

3) Looking behind the shower curtain before she pees... anywhere she goes.

4) Running up the stairs after getting water or food in the kitchen at night thinking monsters are behind her.

5) Looking at herself when she passes a mirror or reflection....

6) Being self-conscious all the time.

7) Feeling a big better about herself when she gets a comment on Facebook.

8) Automatically ignoring a text when it's from a certain person.

9) Longing to be a Disney Princess.

10) Loving/Obsessed with a movie just because of a really good looking actor in it.

11) Spending more money on food than other items.

12) Believing her life is like the movies!

... to be continued.

So today was Fast Sunday.
So testimonies were given during Sacrament meeting.
You know how usually it's like a long pause until somebody decides to go up? Well today it was member after member after member going up.

... & it was all about a loved one passing away.
I teared up in almost every single testimony.
every. single. one.

I don't get why this month had so many loved ones taken away.
Why April? I sat there thinking back at my friend, Joe. Why was he taken away on the VERY first day of April? Why is this happening?
But you know what's so great about every single of these testimonies? They had the Gospel to help them feel comforted. We sometimes take the Gospel for granted and then remember how much we rely on it until something unfortunate happens. You know what I mean?

To everyone having a hard time right now....

STAY STRONG & HAPPY & POSITIVE.
Life will eventually get better. Eventually.
But staying strong, happy, and positive will help you be happy faster.

I know I'm saying this like it's easy... BUT IT IS.
It really is. Don't let your mind play tricks on you and think negative thoughts. You CAN think positive thoughts.

Fast Sundays are one of my favorite days ever.
Because it's one of the days where I feel like a better person and I'm doing something good for myself or somebody else.

... or it may be because we're served a big, good meal after church for linger longer!

HAH! No I'm kidding but 'tis an amazing day!

I just dyed my hair. I havent' seen the end result yet since my hair is still dripping wet. I don't want to blow dry it..... but I have church in an hour and a half.

I'm hungry.

After Christmas choir practice.
A year and a half ago.
(00:26 - I didn't realize he pointed to my hair tie he wears all the time [he's even wearing it on his mission around his ankle!] when the lyrics said "I'm happy knowing you are mine" aw!!!!)
