hmm.. and what else. oh, i'm going to cameroon in 25 days  i'm so excited. 
well, i don't know what else to say really.

| here i am, at my sister's boyfriends apartment. david's taking a nap, melissa is playing mario.. and i'm sitting on the computer with aboslutely nothing to do >.< i forgot to bring something. *sigh* i'm so bored.
philly is awesome :) i'm loving it here! it's so refreshing to get time off from life >.> though i do quite miss everyone.. :(
i'm sad to have missed church this morning. i always am so annoyed with how many people are actually BORED during the worship service at WBC.. but mom said people were all dancing in the isles. that would have made me happy to see. i went to my sister's church this morning, it didn't really interest me, but there were a few verses i really liked that hadn't really stuck out to me before. they sang be thou my vision, too :) i love that song. other than that i was kind of half asleep for the rest of it. before they started the sermon they did something that i thought was really really really cool. the little kids would all come and sit in the front on the ground, and the pastor would go sit with them and do a little five minute kid's sermon, something that they could relate to and understand. and then once they were done the little kids would run to their sunday school class and the pastor would start the sermon. i thought that was awesome. there was a little 4/5 year old chinese kid 8) she was soooooo cute. i love people with dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes. :) they are so beautiful..
grr >.< i hate being stuck in a room with absolutely nothing to do... it makes me want to run around in circles and scream >.< bleeeh!!!!
*sigh*
well, i can't think of anything else to say.

| ... procrastinating once again. but i AM thinking about what i have to do for yet another essay and two paragraphs. the paragraphs i'm not worried about, they should be easy.. but it's the essay i'm worried about. i'm so not a creative writer >.<
wow, two weeks! o.o it feels like a lifetime since i've seen the vandorens.. :( but i'm excited, in two days i get to fly up to philly to see my sister :) ever since about a half a year ago i've been GREATLY needing a vacation away from life.. so this will definitely help. i get to be home.. ALONE.. while my sister is a work. a lot of time to think and relax and regain my much needed energy. then melissa and me and david (her fiance/boyfriend.. i'm not sure if he's technically a fiance yet, but whatever..) are going to watch movies and go out to eat and play games and stuff. me and melissa are also going to go wedding dress/bridesmaid dress shopping 8) this will be exciting.. me.. actually wearing a DRESS!! :O!! yes, i shall take pictures. we are also going to go to the mall to visit the cheesecake factory 8) i LOVE cheesecake.. and the cheesecake factory has like, 50 different types of cheesecake.. i shall be in heaven xD
yep yep.. so that will be an awesome week and a half.
today i got to talk to mom vandoren, mariah, AND aimee all on IM.. i was so happy to hear from them! i will be sad once they move to banso on thursday, though :\ i wont be able to talk to them on IM and i wont be able to email as much *sigh* that will be hard :S but i know in april they'll get wireless internet 8) i'm so happy about that. 'cause i thought that they'd have wireless internet only in yaounde at first. :)
my dad also found a way that i *MIGHT* be able to get to cameroon for 800 dollars instead of 2500 dollars. (or 2000 dollars) i know i'm keeping my hopes up way to high, but i really do hope it works. that would be amazing if it did :)
also, i'm not getting too excited about going to new york. i don't really know why and i don't feel like i have a reason not to go besides the money. but bliss assures me that we'll be able to raise the ammount. i still have no clue what i'm going to do. *sigh* well, i think that i probably should just go for it, and then if i feel like it's something i should do then drop out. :\ but i'm not sure if i really SHOULD do that. >.< i have no idea.
anyhow, i need to go do chores now. have a wonderful day to all who reads this. :p

| ......from doing my homework. i don't really feel like doing a five paragraph essay and three or four other paragraphs. i have a few days to do it anyways..
well, they finally left. the most special family to me is in cameroon and i wont see them for a year or more >.< i confess it's been strange.. there's definitely bad parts about it but.. God's brought up some good things, too o.O normally i feel like not very many people pay attention to me and i'm sort of "invisible" at youth events and such. (except of course when my few good friends talk to me) but since the vandorens left, i don't know.. i guess people realized we were really close because SO many people at church will come up to me and tell me they are thinking about me and praying for me.. or just ask me how i'm doing and talk to me and give me a hug. it's kind of cool.. and i've actually felt CARED about and part of the church.. sort of. but none the less.. i miss the vandorens like crazy >.< it feels empty when they are away.. and this time it wont be for a week or two.. this time it's for a year :S
i'm really not sure what i'm going to do this summer.. i REALLY want to go visit the vandorens in cameroon but my parents aren't getting around to talking about how i can raise money >.< i need 700 ish more dollars.. more or less. AND i feel like God is calling me to go on atleast one of the missions trips coming up, too.. if i went on both that's another 600 dollars to raise! eep! i know, i need to trust God because if it all is his will, he will provide. but i confess it's sort of scary o.O how will i get 1300 dollars by this summer?! hrmph. yeah, if anyone wants to pray for me, that would be cool :) i'm not quite sure that this all is God's will yet, but i'm praying.. and i hope it is. but it's not what i want, is it?
but it would be so amazing to go over to cameroon.. not just to see the vandorens but i've never been overseas and i've only ever been in "comfortable" or "american" cultures.. i grew up around mexico so that wasn't like another culture for me.. and california and north carolina aren't really THAT different of cultures even though people say they are. i don't know, i just think it would be an awesome experience. and to fly by myself 8D
hmm.. an hour until orchestra practice. bleeeh. two of the songs i can't do very well >.< but this IS the first week, and i'm sure i'll get better.
right now i'm working on memorizing the first two verses in philippians. during the time the vandorens are gone, each week we will memorize two verses out of philippians.. which ends up that we will have the whole book of philippians memorized by the end of the year they are gone :) i'm excited. i REALLY like philippians.. and i think it will help me to see the "progress" like.. once i'm half way through memorizing it i'll know only half way until i see the vandorens again!! :)
hmm. i'm hungry.. i think i'm going to go find some food.
hi to everyone who reads this, which i doubt anyone ever really does :) but oh well.
