Im On TV!
So this morning at 4:10, I woke up and started getting ready for The Big Breakfast. Our local morning show thing on A-Channel. I took a whole hour trying to get my lashes to stick on my left eye lid, and a whopping five seconds on my right! No idea what the problem was, however as my eyes would start tearing for rubbing glue into them, I realized I had givien myself a bit of a cold the night before. I was teaching out in Notre Dame de Lordes. Hip hop. Well anyways, we didnt get home until midnight because Eddie and I had to stop at his house to find out about costumes. Then when I got home I had to shower. blowdry and straighted my hair. Because for Hawiian we can't have our hair up. So finally at about 1:30, I was getting into bed, and realized I was not at all tired. At about 3:00 I finally fell asleep. As I said b4, at 4:10 I woke up. So anyways, by 5:45 we were on our way to pick up Jonny ("The Drummer"), and then Dana, one of the dancers, however she called and told me she'd meet us there. She ended up borrowing her boyfriends totally awesome truck! The petals raise to meet your feet! lol anyways! So we get to the forks at about 6:10. We dont need to be there until 6:30. So we sit and chat, listening to music. Good times. Dana gets there with in 5 minits, and after about 10, Shaun arives. So we waited until 6:31, and Eddie, Chantel, Nadine, And Ajia finally gt there. We get dressed and get ready to perform. It was not a big deal until the camera was in my face. Then I got camera shy. But I kept going and tryed to keep my smile plasterd to my face. ( I watched the tape, I didnt do to good with the smile). So anyways, Im all done with my dance and was gonna change into some OC gear, but remembered we were sumposed to teach the host a bit on Hawiian. SO, I sat in the coffee area and waited until the second set. It was lots of fun talking, dancing, and singing in the back ground with Shaun, and Jonny. And in the end it all turned out great!

Dance Plant
So 2 Sundays ago, we had our regular team practise. I deciced to try and make Eddie notice my hard work by doing the dance full out and then some! So I got through the whole first half of the dance, with out my partner I might add. Then we got to the one of my fave parts. The fighting. However I didnt have a partner so I was pushing my self to look like I was fighting an invisible person, Im suposed to roll over my partners back, but ended up doing a barrel turn because there was no back to roll over, as you know. Then Im suposed to roll on the floor, pretend to grab "this space between us, and fill it up again!". Well I grabbed, but then I went to smack the floor with my hands. I ended up smacking my head aswell as hands on the floor. I sat out for most of the rest of class, with my frozen water bottle on my head. I thought I'd be fine. But ever since then I've been suffering from a head ache. Non stop! It's finally been getting better. But this Sunday while trying to go full out, with a partner, I skinned my arms while doing this crawling thing with a "dead" person on my back. AND this Monday, we started relearning "One Less Addiction". Now when we started this before, I got to be a base and co lifting. But Chantel decided that since I'm a girl, I have to start dancing like one. So now I'm a flyer! ME A FLYER! This is my worst nightmare. The only guy I'd even sumwhat trust with lifting me, is Jake. He's the bufest on the team. But he's not my partner until a lil later. Jonny P dot is my partner. Now he's a drummer, so he does have muscle, but Im just so dang self consious, that I feel to heavy to let anyone lift me. Usually in lifts theres a way that the flyer holds some of the wate for the base, but in this lift there isnt. So I decided to do something about it. Im working out at home. And eating better. The only person who can make me feel better is me! So Im working on it. YAY ME!

Prayer
Hello friends! Thank you for reading my blog! I like comments, so feel free! Now down to buisness. I have a few prayer requests.
1. My friend Nathan is in Australia for missions, so he needs to not get home sick, keeps an open heart, open ears, and inspirational words. I just want him to be doing Gods will and enjoying himself while he does it!
2. My friend Teri. She works with inner city kids and shes been getting stressed with the dance and the craziness of the kids and money. So she needs peace, money, a car, and some time to herself.
3. My BBC friends (Jordo, Nat, Dez, Mel, and Jo, ect.) Just that they are being spiritually fullfilled and gaining knowledge that they can use in everyday life. That the money thing doesn't become an issue for a long time, that they don't get to stressed out over this next semester.
4. If it's not to much to ask a lil prayer for "my" puppy. He's a lil st. Bernard, he was the only one in his litter, and was delivered by C-section. He has a bit of an eye infection and almost had to get the eye removed. Im praying to find myself a place of my own so I can have to puppy, otherwise my grandperants will be selling him. See I've grown overly attached to this pup because from the day he was born I was told I'd get to show him in the dog shows... but with the infection, he may not get to go in a show. That's got to hurt, its like saying a blind girl can't be in a beauty pagent! Anyways, I pretty much em asking for prayer that he'll get stronger and will get the chance to grow up and be my "buckaroo", that's right, if he becomes mine, thats what his name will be. (side note: thanks Jordan for the inspiration of the name, if it wasn't for you I'd never of thought of it;) ) Well that's it for my prayer requests for now. THANKS!

BBC Approved
Ok so alot oh you have heard me use the expression "that's not BBC approved!" Well I decided I'd explain it! At BBC (Briercrest Bible Collage) They believe in modesty. That's the way we dress and act. Now as you all know I'm a pretty modest person, partly because of insecurities, and partly I also believe in modesty. So When I see some one who is overly flity, or scandlely dressed, I would say that's not BBC approved. Sometimes, however, "we" take it a lil farther and would use the expression when lets say a girl and a guy hug. They had rules about personal space and such so "we" just kind of turned a simple hug into a huge nono. So if you ever hear me say that, I hope you kind of understand the joke, and I'm not trying to make you feel bad. Its a laugh with you, as aposed to laugh at you...ok?

Hair
So yestarday I colored my hair for the first time since grade in a real salon! Every single haircut, color, highlight, ect I've ever gotten I was never pleased with. Well that just changed! I got my hair colored blond, pink, and brown, in that order! I llove it! I can wear it board straight, or totally crazy and it looks great! It only costed me 225$. Ya I know way out of my price range, but I actually think its worth it! I mean I know I still cant believe I paid THAT MUCH, but it was well done, totally my ideas, and EVERYone loves it, including me! So I think I got a fair deal. I'll go back to Wade a Revolutions Hair Salon anyday! He was totally cool and into what I had in mind and did it how I wanted, he thinks I should have stayed with the hair bizz. I might, maybe I'll work with him! That would be cool.

Dinsey On Ice
So today at 10:00am three of the Hawiian dancers, including myself, went to a little rehab center to do a show for a group of kids. There was a bit of media coverage because it was a kick off thing for Disney on Ice. But it was a big way to open some big doors for the dance team! I was really nervous, but I love kids so I tryed to look at there faces rather then the camera. Which was hard. Im not used to having a camera in my face. Anyways, I think the kids loved it which is good. Im still wearing most of my make-up, including my eye lashes. My eyes are feeling pretty heavy right now. Well I have to make a bank run. Ciao bellas and guys!
