2010

wow.

while i'm not exactly thrilled for the next year, as it will mark the two decades i've been alive (and they say it's all downhill from there) and with those two decades come more responsibility, which i don't much like, i have to admit it's kind of awe-inspiring. It was just yesterday that i was 10, and at a party to bring in the new millennium, and looking back in retrospect i guess it's sort of amazing how time really does fly.

i'm feeling sort of philosophical today.

cameron's was much fun. it was exactly the break i needed. we were there three days, at this quaint little cottage thing on a hill,where we had barbeques, played Tekken 5 on the PS2 till our fingers shrivelled up on us, and played baseball out on the grounds.

I hit a home run! :D IT WAS AMAZING.

family time is therapy. although things got a little itchy at the baseball game - seeing as we're all so competitive. it's a good thing we love each other.

wouldn't you know it, i stumbled onto some old High School Musical 2006 pics.

I'm such a sap.



Gabby, amazing as always.

Recording

Mini-rehearsal at Zarul's mom's studio

First rehearsal at main hall

Nic was so adorable.

I still think this was the absolute best part of the whole thing.

Troy and Gabby

I actually really liked this pic, basically because i do not look awful, and Wilson's distance from me actually kind of made me smile.

But the resolution GAR!

we're all in this together.

all the pics i had of the real thing have mysteriously disappeared. am upset.
the ones posted are stolen from Izzie's multiply account, but she mostly had the rehearsal ones only. crud.

back to the sappy-ness.


it's been 3 years since the thing.

3 YEARS.


was looking through it and thought again how different everything's turned out to be
since i was 16.. people are different.

I'm no longer the same, myself. In addition to the transitions made from the EXTREMELY bad hair i had, and the additional weight and eventual muscle i packed on.. well i suppose i'm not quite as naive. It's kind of sad not being naive any more, because then you really understand the reality of things, and more often than not, the reality of things are not good.


philosophical, heehee.


~

anyway i just really miss the compadres. everyone.
i heard some are back, and i still haven't seen them.


Kath, Nicole, Izzie, Chui, Tani? Tiff?

and all the others (you know i love you),

wait for me!

~

New Year's Eve midnight service today.
am worship-leading.

the sad truth is that after so long, it still freaks me out.

i hope it works out.


in any case,
family and friends,



I'll see you on the other side.
