I'm Back!

Happy New Year!!!

Wowie, it is already 2017! That's so crazy! I felt like 2016 just started. Now I shall have to get used to writing out '2017'... XD

Well, I bet your wondering what I meant by my title.

I was gone on a youth retreat! ;)

I left early in the morning on the 28th and came back just 2 hours ago. ^.^

It was an AMAZING experience. It was wayyyy better than I though it would be. I felt at peace and happy. I grew closer to God.

On the 29th and 30th, we had to go to all afternoon events called 'service ops'. On the 29th, I went to a senior home. I helped seniors play bingo and talked to them. What sucked is that I lost my voice on the 29th. And if you can't talk loudly, well, the old people can't always hear. o,O

We went up to the top floor and hung out with seniors who had dementia. It was... interesting. One old lady kept calling, "We're here!" XD I have no idea what she was thinking... And then this other lady was trying to get me and Koolest and this other girl to color in an adult coloring book. But then a nurse came and asked if the lady would like to sit. The old lady replied back with a swear word. O.O XD

And on the 30th, I went to a second-hand store and helped sort out clothes and furniture. Me and my roomie, who was in the same service op, organized purses so they were in the color order of the rainbow. ^.^ I got to know my roomie better. She's so sweet. <3

We went shopping in a HUGGGEE mall yesterday and I bought a little Pusheen toy. ^.^ (I'll post a picture of it later! ;D) It's so cute and teeny and soft!

Also, my roomies that were in my room were a-maze-ing. There was me and Koolest and these two cute girls from far far away and then a youth leader from my group. We had funny talks in our room and made fun of stuff on TV. XD But I'm a little TV-ed out. I watched SO much this past four days. The only good part of watching stuff on the Disney channel. (Yay for Austin & Ally! XD)

And guess who stayed up 'til midnight yesterday?! ME! XD

This was my first ever time where I stayed up until the new year.

My youth group, by the way, was staying at a hotel. Yup. All 200 of us teens and that's not counting leaders. I felt bad for all the other guests staying at the hotel. We must have been noisy. XD

So, we had a 90's themed New Year's party! ^.^ I had my pale blue skinny jeans on with a dark blue baggy hoodie that says something about 90's. I got a youth leader to put my hair up in a HIGH ponytail. And then I wore my mom's old sock/legwarmers. I was so stylish. XD (I liked my hair though...)

The party was fun! The band sang some old songs and we played games. There was this game where this computer voice would talk to us. It showed us 6 different Star Wars poses from different characters. Then, we had to pick a pose and hope the computer didn't pick the one we were doing. If it did, we were out. Me and Koolest won with some other people! ^-^

There was also a runway thing. If you wanted to show off your outfit, you could walk near the stage and do your 'runway walk'. Me and Koolest did. I sucked. XD I didn't know how to walk so I kinda bobbed my head and yelled "Peace!" and did two peace signs with my hands. :P Oh well!

Then there was the COUNTDOWN!! :D When it was 12 AM, we all shouted and screamed and banged the tables. It was fun. ;)

But then, the party ended with a youth leader coming to the front and saying, "Okay, the bus for ____ is leaving right away. Please go get ready now."

MY BUS WAS LEAVING, LIKE, RIGHT AWAY!!! O,O

So I ran to the room and stuffed random things into my backpack and suitcase. It was... crazy.

I was on the bus from 1 AM to 8 AM. I am SO done with buses. XD (And to make things worse, Koolest threw up. D: )

And to make things even better...

I met someone really special to me. Someone I met years ago online. Someone that I thought I'd never meet in real life. But we did. ^.^ I was SO thrilled to meet her, it was amazing. I think about it and just smile. I'm so happy I got to meet you, Fluffykittenlover17!!!!!!

Well, I just made this post to let you know everything's okay. (Thanks for the concern, Sarah. XD I did tell you I was gonna be busy for a couple of days. :P)

I am so so tired. o,o I haven't slept in a bed since Friday night. :P

I hope you have an amazing start to your new year. :) I really hope this next year will be full of blessings.

But before I go, I wanna do a New Year's resolution.

My resolution is to grow closer to God. I had this one last year and it worked a little. But this is THE year for things to change for the better.

Have an awesome first day of the year and jam on!!

P.S. Sorry if this post is all over the place. I'm tired. XD

12 Days of Christmas - Day #12

Merry Christmas!!!

Wow! It's Christmas morning already! ^.^

Yesterday, I went to the amazing Christmas Eve service at my church and opened stockings and ticket gifts.

Speaking of ticket gifts, now I can tell you who I all had!

I had... Koolestkat!! :D And my brother, Dreadwisp, had me. I gave my sis two books ("Cake Pop Crush" and "The Legend of Zelda Minish Cap") and then I gave a beanie boo named Lindi. (You can look her up. XD) And my brother gave me two Lego sets, a little The Legend of Zelda Toon Link plushie, and a DS game. (Named "Drawn to Life")

Also! In my stocking, I GOT A MEMBERSHIP CARD, YESSSSSSS! (When I got it, I said jokingly, "Hey, now I can be cool again." XD)

Well, let's begin the LAST 12 Days of Christmas verse!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

LOL, closest thing to 12. XD

 Eleven pipers piping, ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking, seven geese a laying, six ducks a swimming, (almost) five golden bricks, four calling birds, three French skunks, two pet turtles, and a partridge in a diamond tree!!!!

Well, that ends the song!

And today's special Christmas content is...

The Christmas story!

I really wanted you guys to read the true story of how Christmas came to be. Even if you've heard it before, please. Try reading it again. ^.^

And now! Here is the Christmas story:

Around the time of Elizabeth’s amazing pregnancy and John’s birth, the emperor in Rome, Caesar Augustus, required everyone in the Roman Empire to participate in a massive census—  the first census since Quirinius had become governor of Syria.

 

Each person had to go to his or her ancestral city to be counted.

 

Mary’s fiancé Joseph, from Nazareth in Galilee, had to participate in the census in the same way everyone else did. Because he was a descendant of King David, his ancestral city was Bethlehem, David’s birthplace. Mary, who was now late in her pregnancy that the messenger Gabriel had predicted, accompanied Joseph. While in Bethlehem, she went into labor and gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped the baby in a blanket and laid Him in a feeding trough because the inn had no room for them.

 

Nearby, in the fields outside of Bethlehem, a group of shepherds were guarding their flocks from predators in the darkness of night. Suddenly a messenger of the Lord stood in front of them, and the darkness was replaced by a glorious light—the shining light of God’s glory. They were terrified!

 

Messenger:  Don’t be afraid! Listen! I bring good news, news of great joy, news that will affect all people everywhere. Today, in the city of David, a Liberator has been born for you! He is the promised Anointed One, the Supreme Authority! You will know you have found Him when you see a baby, wrapped in a blanket, lying in a feeding trough.

 

At that moment, the first heavenly messenger was joined by thousands of other messengers—a vast heavenly choir. They praised God.

 

Heavenly Choir: To the highest heights of the universe, glory to God!
    And on earth, peace among all people who bring pleasure to God!

As soon as the heavenly messengers disappeared into heaven, the shepherds were buzzing with conversation.

 

Shepherds: Let’s rush down to Bethlehem right now! Let’s see what’s happening! Let’s experience what the Lord has told us about!

 

So they ran into town, and eventually they found Mary and Joseph and the baby lying in the feeding trough. After they saw the baby, they spread the story of what they had experienced and what had been said to them about this child. Everyone who heard their story couldn’t stop thinking about its meaning.  Mary, too, pondered all of these events, treasuring each memory in her heart.

 

The shepherds returned to their flocks, praising God for all they had seen and heard, and they glorified God for the way the experience had unfolded just as the heavenly messenger had predicted.

I hope you all enjoyed! ^-^

Well, I gotta go open presents! I probably will be done by... sometime in the afternoon. XD

Have a merry Christmas and jam on!!

12 Days of Christmas - Day #11

Merry Christmas Eve!!!! ^.^

I cannot believe it, tomorrow is Christmas! Like, didn't we still have to wait 12 days? XD And this post series is almost done too, crazy!!

Well, today, I didn't get out of my pj's until noon. XD I know. Crazy.

Also, like every Christmas Eve, I was restless.

I woke up feeling restless. I really hate feeling like that. But just an hour ago, it kinda stopped. So, I hope I can enjoy the rest of the day. (And I hope I can actually eat more yummy and food. And actually think about food and not feel sick. Yes, I am still feeling a little blah.)

I'm SO excited for tonight. I can't wait to open my stocking and ticket gift. ;) And give gifts too, because I absolutely love doing that as well.

Let's begin the second last 12 Days of Christmas verse. And THEN, I can finally do my exciting part of the post. ^.^ (Remember! Tomorrow's Christmas content is gonna be special as well!)

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking, seven ducks a swimming, six geese a laying, (almost) five golden bricks, four calling birds, three French skunks, two pet turtles and a partridge in a diamond tree!

And today's Christmas content is...

A back reveal!

Okay. So, your probably a little confused on what I mean.

Ever heard of a face reveal? Yeah? Well, some people can't show their face online due to personal things. (Like me.) So, the people who can't do that usually show a picture of their back. So their face isn't showing but you still get a good idea on how to picture them. (I made up the name back reveal. XD)

So, I decided, since your all my lovely friends, that I would do one today. ^-^

You ready? (I'm feeling so excited. XD)

Okay. I hope your ready.

Okay, wow, when I see that, I kinda cringe. XD

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed! Have an amazing Christmas Eve and I shall see you tomorrow! ;)

Have a merry Christmas and jam on!

12 Days of Christmas - Day #10

Ho ho ho!! XD

Hey guys, it's only 2 days until Christmas!! ^-^

I'm literally so pumped for tomorrow. I can't wait to see who has my for their ticket gift and I really wanna give my gift to .... (Can't wait. XDD)

I'm also excited to go to my church's Christmas Eve service. I haven't ever gone before so it should be fun! :D

Well, let's begin today's post!

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking, seven ducks a swimming, six geese a laying, (almost) five golden bricks, four calling birds, three French skunks, two pet turtles, and a partridge in a diamond tree!

And today's Christmas content is...

A Christmas poem! XD

Okay, I'm not very good at writing poems. At all. Maybe I'd be better if I still didn't feel sick. Who knows? So, I'm better at haikus so I'll do one. :P

Gifts all wrapped around,

Family close by your side,

To me, that's Christmas

 

LOL, that probably sucked but I'm okay if you laugh. XD

 

Before I go, I got two things to show you...

 

 

 

I just walk into the Hot Cocoa Hut and this random person thinks I'm lost?! XD So I said, "No, I'm not." And then they are like, "Don't worry, we'll find your mom!" and then they say, "(plot twist) I am your mom." So I just laughed and told them I was SO posting this. XD I don't know if they believed me or not but hey, I am posting about it. :P

 

But then, the person who said I was lost asked if anyone wanted to do Forgotten Desert. I said, "I would if I could. XD" And they replied back, "No, your lost." O,O

 

Maybe it's just this one group but I felt they acted weirdly around me. Like, non-members aren't cool. But c'mon. There's a lot of cool non-members out there! (There are weird non-members but they are ALSO weird members.)

 

And then I randomly was checking out Aparri's jammer wall when I see these comments:

 

O,o Okay, then. XD

Also, AJJ's Christmas party has been postponed to December 27th. I haven't figured out the time yet, sorry! D:

Have a merry Christmas and jam on!

Be sure to check back tomorrow and Christmas for some special posts! (Can you believe this series it almost done?! Comment call: Which was your favorite post in the 12 Days of Christmas series so far?)
