Nsli Update + Rexnord

So, today I received my packet in the mail. I was super excited. It had some good things. Insurance, what to pack, a girl's story about culture shock,tips. What was funny (kind of) to me was they had a movie list! It was actually kind of cool. I saw Pounds Beauty and My sassy girl already. So i'm hoping to see all of those movies before I leave. Haha. I don't really remember My sassy girl... I saw it YEARS ago. They should have put Sad Movie (it like seriously is sad, I cried so much) and  A millionare's first love (I cried during this one too). Koreans are really... into sad movies? They do a great job with them. Anyways, along with that I also received an email about an oral assesment? Haha. Yea, my Korean is pretty bad. I can only say a few things. But hey, i'll give it a try.

Rexnord.
Okay, so my High school has a tradition with this company. It's like rexnord academic achievement awards. It's an award ceremony, but the seniors always give a little weird show when their names are being called. Happens to be that our theme was: THE LAST DECADE. So, we had lady gaga, tim burton's alice in wonderland, remake of several movies (godzilla, etc) and we even had wii games like Mario Kart. Haha. We were the battle of the electronics (me, ashley, nakila) I was the cassette (old skool), kiki was the cd player, and ashley was the brand spankin' new Ipod. Haha. It was fun. EXCEPT, we had no music and i was introduced as Ashley, but thanks to Benny (who was all like, That's not ashley, that's cinthya) It got corrected, it was kind of funny in a weird sort of way. But yea, some kids recieved awards and etc. It was fun. I got to leave school early (another weird tradition haha.) and now i'm at home.

I actually want to go to the mall and get some cute shoes!!!! But, I have to wait. So, i'm going to wait a bit and study my Korean! YAY!

Song of the Day: TVXQ - Love in the ice (BTW, this is my FAVORITE Korean group, since I was like 13)

The Zoo and NSLI Update

So, I totally went to the zoo last Friday. Since we are all pretty much grown up it was kind of a go on your own trip. So, I DROVE THERE! But parking was like eleven bucks and the entrance was like 9.25... yea not happening. So, we parked across the street and some senior home (sorry!) and we walked there. CALL ME LUCKY, the lady just told us to walk right in. She must have been talkin on the phone with her boo! Super distracted. So, I paid for nothing. Except gas... yep sucks. Anyways, let me tell you about my day.
So, Angie woke me up and asked me if I was still going to pick her up. I said yea, and she said well i might not go... but in the end she came! I then texted Keta and woke her up ahah! So I took my non-school friend along. It would have been fun if I could have brought victoria! BUT anyways... then we picked up Angie and ended up giving Ryan and Margarita a ride (they are pretty funny) and went to eat breakfast and Mickeys... ewww keta found hair in her food! Haha! So we finally got to the zoo like at eleven! But it was fun.

Pictures!

One of the only reasons I come to the zoo. PENGUINGS

I loveeeeeee GIRAFFES!

One of the reason's I'd love to go to thailand is to see and ride an elephant.

Haha... Keta was scared of the goats!

So, finally got an email from nsli (Iearn is actually taking care of the South Korea kids)

And it's like an assesment thingy for Sogang university to see how good our korean is. Yea, i know how to introduce myself, say i love you, sorry, honey, hate you, really. And yea that's about it. oh! And how to say hello and goodbye. So, I did pretty bad haha! But I have this awesome learning book! So, maybe in like a month i'll know sufficient Korean to survive if i ever get lost! I need a dictionary and BTW language resources are really expensive! My 85 pg book was like $20~! I could have bought a cute pair of heels or a cute dress from FOREVER21!

Song of the day: 2pm- tired of waiting (yes, I like 2pm!)

NSLI Update + Prom

So, I totally emailed NSLI, because I found it weird that I wasn't receiving anything! But some of the other students where. Happened to be that it was getting sent to a different email! One that i've never used before... i don't even think it existed! Haha, but i must have put it down somewhere. So, they emailed everything to me (the conference recap, an update letter) and let me know that I should receive a log in for language lounge and some stuff in the mail soon. (YAY!) Now, i'm excited and can totally enjoy the rest of the month of May (with a bit of Senioritis!)

So, how bout that prom?

Yea, it was okay. It could have been better. It was at the Pfister (GORGEOUS HOTEL BTW) So, the location was EXCELLENT, but the Dj wasn't so good. I could not dance for like the first two hours (Which happenened to be the only two hours Domi (the date) was there, so I felt bad that we didn't really get to dance, but I got him next time) and then like the last hour it started to get good. He put bend it over (and chyesss u kno da rest!) I screamed Finally! I even danced the lady gaga bad romance dance (the hands and stuff haha.) This is when you know the DJ must be on something... he played NSYNC ByE BYE... Yes.. we all know the lyrics (loved the guys) and even know the dance moves... but... that was like.. TEN YEARS AGO. You play that at a reunion haha! But it was definitely a memory, I guess.

And If you ever see me... ask me about Domi's car and the ride to prom... Yea, i'm like still recovering from that haha!

Pictures!

Me! haha

Me and ashley doing a weird booty bump, Ashley spanking me, and I totally fit under her dress!

Cinco De mayo

For those of you that don't know, I'm part Mexican and part Puerto Rican. (I think i have the best of both worlds type thing)Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo (no not Mexican independence day it was actually a battle, google it)and it's a holiday to celebrate! Well, anyways I totally ditched school to like rest and go see my Sister's 5 de Mayo program at her school. She was actually running for Senorita 5 de Mayo. She raised a bajillion pennies and collected from friends, family, and neighbors and we went to support her. The program was actually pretty nice, a couple of dances (folklore, cumbia) and they had Mariachis (her teacher performed with them.) They did the escorta: (WHICH I WILL HAVE A VIDEO UP OF SOON!)


Then soon after they had the six girls running for Miss 5 De Mayo come out. So, because there were TOOOOOO many pennies to count they decided the winner would be be chosen by scream. I personally believe this was extremely unfair. First off, the winner was meant to be chosen by the amount they fundraised. This would make sense... the one that raised the most would mean the girl was dedicated (worked hard to go around and ask for pennies, collecting them) and could represent Miss 5 De Mayo in a good way. My sister, by far, had the most pennies (I think 5 jars?) and of course she would have won. Some of the girls weren't even in it to win, some didn't have pennies. (so of course when they heard the winner would be chosen by screams they got excited because they didn't even have to worry about going around collecting pennies, they had a chance) Anyways, i'm getting off track. All i'm saying is they should have stuck with the plan and not switched it at the last minute just because there were "too many" pennies to count. Suck it up and do it. If it couldn't be done, then it shouldn't have even been part of the competition. And it's extremely unfair to change the rules last minute. So, the cheering ended with my sister and one of her friends (all of the competitors were her friends btw) even. Then they changed it to applause only, but it was still too close. So, finally they decided on a coin toss. (crazy i know) My sister picked tails and BAM Tails it was. She won and she got super excited... and of course my mom started her waterfall works.

Bola Posing. (nope, I don't know how to turn it around)

Her Friend (they were all ssupperr excited)

Miss 5 De Mayo goes hood

Me and my sister (yeps she's younger,yet taller. The sun was totally in my eyes)

Then to ruin a bit of the mood, this girl tried getting backstage to tell my sister that she was a cheater (jealous much?) Which was of course impossible. First off, she had the most pennies and she put NONE of her money in (like some girls did) it was all donated money, she was even with the screams and the applause and by luck the coin toss led her to win. So, ladies and gentlemen, how is that really cheating? HAHA! Girls these days... just learn how to let things go.
