The Biggest Loser

So this is my opinion on the contestants of Biggest Loser this season, or a few of them.

PINK TEAM- HELEN AND SHANNON

Shannon and her mom, Helen. These two people make me uncomfortable. It is quite obvious that Shannon has DEFinitely been babied her entire life. Helen is really wierd. Mom likes her because she is so tough, but she kind of reminds me of Kelly from season 5. Kelly just made me so uncomfortable, and Helen totally does too. Everytime one of these two gives an interview, I work on my homework, or text, or... Like last week when Helen was going on and on about "dont tell me you're not playing the game..."*avert eyes* I dont Dislike them, they just wierd me out a little. a lot.

YELLOW TEAM- MANDI AND AUBREY

I like Mandi a lot. I like Aubrey too, but havent really gotten to know her i guess. These two seem real. They seem like nice people who are there for the right reasons but also play the game. I liked what Aubrey said last week about "Blaine wants to go home and Dane wants to stay. What else is there to discuss?" but i might have interpreted that completely wrong. I guess I'll never know since their vote wasnt revealed. I liked watching Mandi with her husband and kids. I hope they are there for a long time.

BROWN TEAM- MIKE AND RON

What in the world happened to make these two on this show. I mean, sure, they need it. And I dont think they shouldnt be there or anything, it's just that I can't even Begin to imagine this family watching the show religiously or signing up for the show with hopeful anticipation... Can you? They just seem so out of place there, because you never see them happy, they hardly ever give interviews unless they are below the line, and Mike seriously doesnt have much of a personality shown on this show. I mean, i think the only thing I've heard him say was, "It's hard for me to see my dad like this... I owe it to him... I need to work twice as hard to make up for my dad..." And the wierdest thing is- he's never really complaining when he says that! Like the second week, I remember telling my mom that Mike really needed to get a personality or people wouldnt care what happened to him. Can you imagine Tara and Mike in any sort of a relationship? NO WAY. Mike's like a minerature version of his 50 year old father. And he's the youngest player ever. Doesnt anyone remember Dan (Season 5)? I had always pictured an 18 year old to be a little more teenager-ish. You know the whole "overweight kids are insecure" stereotype? It almost seems like all these overweight people have gotten together, and so being the only overweight person isnt an issue, but Mike still has that insecurity. I hope he's around long enough to develop a personality. :)

BLUE TEAM!- FILIPE AND SIONE

YAY for the Blue team! Filipe is BY FAR my favorite contestant of this season. Probably of all seasons, although I really liked Kae (Season 4) a lot. It's probably just because he's Tongan. And he and Sione are Mormon but. :) I love every single interview that Filipe and Sione give. When Filipe yells, it makes me smile a lot. Who doesn't??Allison loves this guy too--> it's so obvious. Who wouldn't?? I really appreciated how Filipe reacted to this last elimination, by saying that if he were in that position, he would want people to support him. I love these guys, and if I could chose a winner, it would most definitely be Filipe right now. :)

GO BLUE TEAM!

A Break in Monotony.

For the last three days, the sky has been BLUE. not gray, but blue! So everyday, I've gone and dropped off my backpack in sixth period, and then went back outside and looked at the sky. I'm worried that it will disappear into the monotonous gray again. And then today, as I was getting into the car, I had to take my jacket off! Usually, I have to cling to every bit of warmth that my jacket provides. I turned off the heat that I had blasting from the car ride to school with an extreme amount of satisfaction. I went home and took a picture of the sky, but it wasn't nearly as satisfying, because clouds and trees were in the way of the blue.

Report Card.

I GOT STRAIT A's!
This is a big deal. I've never gotten strait A's before.
And to get an A in College English is a big deal for me.
Yeah, it was a 93.11 with the curve, but still an A!
I'm excited.
Bonus here I come.

Cancun Fri-Mon

We are in Cancun!

We left cold Seattle on Friday morning. When we got to Mexico, it was very hot, but since it was nighttime, we couldnt really see the hotel very well. Our room is very nice. Dad and mom dont like the beds, because they're very small. There is this random column in the middle of the room, so i havent attempted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. There is a jacuzzi though. haha. My favorite part is the hammock on the balcony.
Each night there is a performance. The first night was a pirate performance. It was pretty cool. I was expecting a weird play, but it was mainly gymnists.


Sunday, i went to Isla Mujeres with all the credit union people. I went snorkling, which was very short, but we saw plenty of fish. Mom bought a cute little scripture bag type thing. She bargoned for some hammocks, but Dad convinced her not to get them.




We mainly sat around and swam on Monday, but it started raining really hard last night. It only lasted about a half hour, and i went and ran around like i was ten years old. I even attempted a few cartwheels. :)

We went to a Micheal Jackson show, and it was really good. The mexican guy who was Michael looked very authentic and lip-synched well. :) Mom and Dad really liked it.

I've read two books so far. I read Anne of the Island, and am looking forward to reading the next book, and I read Persuasion, by Jane Austen. I actually listened to that on my iPod, and was extremely disapointed that it was abridged.

Sadie Hawkins

We met at Jocelyn Chang's House and made pizzas, and then we went and took pictures at the high school.

After, we went and played Lazer Tag at Laserquest. The first game, Christian took second, and i took fifth (out of 25).The next time, we all decided to form an alliance, and no one did very good.

Then we went to the dance. There was rockband in the cafeteria, and so we played like one game, and then me, sean, stephanie and brandon went back to the dance. A half hour later, everyone else came to the dance, but Sean and I and Stephanie/Brandon were still like the only ones who danced.

Then we went back to our house, and make gingerbread (graham cracker) houses. Sean and I made an outhouse. It rocked.

Prince Chaming?

We had our winter sports assembly on Friday. They do this thing where you can ask for wishes for your friends and then they grant them at assemblies, and they always try to present them in a clever way, so this year, they brought out this golden retriever and it had wings attached to it. The two girls brought the dog out to the middle of the floor and told Prince to sit. When they thought he was sitting, they started talking, but i noticed that the dog wasn't really sitting... i told enrikson that my dog "sat" like that when she went to the bathroom, and sure enough... two giant logs of poop came out onto the middle of the gym floor. Everyone started freaking out, and the administrators didn't even try to stop everyone. Mr. Albrecht sat down on the couch and dug his head into the pillows and Mr. Anderson was super red in the face. At least three people around me were crying. Sadly, they didn't bring Prince out for any more wishes. :(

My Attempts at Art and Creativity

So this is how I asked to Sean to Sadie's. Unfortunately, a lot of the letters came off because he doesn't know how to solve one and so he barely understood the message by the time he finally got Payton to solve it for him. Ah well- i liked the idea a lot. He answered by giving me back my pillow and blanket that he had stolen about a month ago.

For Gianna's birthday, Stephanie and I took her to Color Me Mine. The venue was in North Seattle: Queen Anne. That is the cutest little town I've ever seen. I really liked it. The shop was really cute. Making them was really fun. Gianna and Stephanie both attempted to use a stencil, but they didn't really work. I started out really ambitious, but then realized the absurdity of my hopes, and settled with a goal much easier to obtain. However, I was really pleased with the result. Lesson. Tape=Good. Stencils=Bad.

For a couple years, I have been saving my movie stubs and dance pictures and some other random things, and I've been taping them onto my dresser. After this last dance, I finally ran out of room, so now i have to use the sides of my dresser. Not really that important, I realize, but i was very excited about it.

In graphic arts, we've been working on garage band music. Then we voted on the best one from each class. The person who won got a shirt. I didnt win. Mine was very musically organized, but it didnt have a lot of cool synthesizers, so i had no chance. However, my teacher loves me, and so she gave me a shirt anyways, although it didnt say winner on it. I proudly wore that tshirt for the ten minutes left of school.
