My homeroom teacher told me that my promotion speech essay was really long. It was single spaced, 11 font Calibri. When I was timing myself reading the speech out loud, it took me a total of 7 minutes to read it thoroughly! Obviously, this went past the time limit of 1 1/2 minute. She told me to turn it in anyway and see if the vice principal likes it. If she does, then I may chop off some parts in my speech.
Today was the Post STAR BBQ at my school. My friends and I get to help out with nearly half of the set up. It was pretty fun and exciting. Considering the fact that we don’t have to take the Geometry Placement test because, we are already in geometry. I helped out by painting a welcome banner along with my friend for the entrance to the party. We went crazy with the paint together and I accidentally got a little paint on my pants. Everyone seemed really happy; we all had an amazing time. Sadly, this will be my last year experiencing the bbq. Since I will be in high school next year, I won’t get the chance to participate in this thrilling event ever again. Might as well cherish it right?
Haha, I brought my camera to school without the memory stick! I would’ve post a picture on my blog if I remember to put back the memory stick in the camera. UGH! I want to show you guys some of the funny pictures of my friends when they fall off the slides.

School is ending pretty soon, it’s the time of the year where you’re about to say good-bye to your childhood memories, and it’s the moment where we move on with our lives. My final year in junior is coming to a conclusion. Soon, I will be on that stage at the Promotion and say all of the wonderful things about the past 9 years I’ve been in school (K-8th) and counting. I have always want to know what it feels like graduating. Well, technically I am not ‘graduating’ – I just got ‘promoted’ to high school that’s all. But anyhow, I am really excited about promoting into high school. (Despite the fact that I know I have a huge, heavy challenge in front of me)
Honestly, I love my childhood days. It is never to bad to be a kid all over again. I really miss the times that I could whine to my parents, always wanting this and that, and being a crybaby. As reminiscing as it is, it’s time to move on. Pretty soon, almost everything in my life would change. The environment that I once lived in will be reincarnated, and the people around me will soon be readmitted. Yes, I know that there is a bad catch to it, but I have always appreciate the good and bad things in life. For now, this is just a portion of how I will be expressing my feelings in the speech that I am doing on Promotion Day. I’ll be sure to post the speech up after I’m done, and hopefully you guys can be the judge and give me some thoughts and opinions about the essay.
What’s with a promotion without a decent outfit to go with it? Yesterday, I went with my cousin and my aunt to Arcadia mall to shop for a dress. It was a pretty tough time trying to find a dress that will match the the school’s requirements. I can not have a dress that has a dark color/shade to it. Instead, I have to wear pastel colors and white. Also, we can not have bare shoulders with spaghetti strap. So I have to find like a mini coat around it. High heels are optional; you don’t have to necessarily wear them if you don’t want to, so that’s good. Anyway, here is my promotion dress (and shoes at the left) I’ll be wearing to Promotion Day.
Lastly, I just want to conclude this long blog post with a few little things in mind. While I was shopping for my promotion dress, my cousin, my aunt, and I went to a few other stores to shop at. Two of which was Hollister and American Eagle. I bought like 3 shirts at Hollister and a blue shirt at American Eagle (Aerie). There is a screen cap on the right if you want to have a good look at them.
