After going to a 12 year old's birthday party, I am quite the shocked. I have forgotten how CRAZY and HYPER 11 and 12 year olds are even though I tutored six graders last year. The group of girls asked me to help them make rice krispie treats and I complied since it was easy and thought it'd be fun. It took a while for them to get all the supplies they needed from around the kitchen and then one of the girls started eating the marshmallows from the bag before we even started (uh...haha). I quickly ushered them to the stove where I gave each of them something to do, whether it was melting the butter, opening the box of cereal/pouring it in, pouring in the marshmallows, or stirring the whole thing together. This is where they went crazy and started yelling and laughing like crazy. Nevertheless, the rice krispies came out alright (can it even go wrong??) and the girls were happy.

Oh! and here's the kid with the fluffy hair. He's such a cutie!

Here's some kids art as well :)

I've known this kiddo since he was born and he's quite the amusing and cute. Look at his fun hair! hahah he just woke up and it was like that. He loves when my brother goes over to his house because that means he gets to play on the wii (which he normally doesn't get to) so it's pretty cute watching him ask my brother to go over to play.

I have failed these past couple of days but here are some pictures! :) They are all from my SLR 50mm minus the pizza one.

Nikon D40X with 18-55mm lens. Most pictures are sooc (straight out of the camera) or at most..just minor contrast/color changes except pic of Jenn in PAB (horrible lighting in there). It was a really nice day out, nice and sunny with LOTS AND LOTS of wind. I started off the day on the roof of my apartment then went to PAB then Powell Library (yes Powell..haha. it was hard to be quiet and not creepy with the camera. haha) and finished off at my apartment kitchen.

Taken by Christine. Cathy, you make me laugh. haha :)









I dunno why it focused on the desk in front of me, but the blur of Steven Xiao and Jenn Chien looks kinda cool. :)

Sadly, I got so bored I decided to take my camera out and take pictures of random things on my desk. I have found that doing a photoshoot of inanimate objects is pretty interesting. Here it goes!

please excuse the dust on my toy motorcycle.

So Friday afternoon I came home and I was doing my own thing and then a few hours later my mom informs me that there has been a bunny making itself at home on my front yard. I did not believe her at first and totally laughed. I pictured a small, cute bunny just hopping around and minding its own business. And then yesterday when we went out to lunch and such, I SAW THE BUNNY! It was hiding under one of the flower bushes that we have and munching on something. I got on my knees (literally) and tried to get the best picture of it I could with my camera phone just in case I didn't see it again. When we got home, it disappeared. And then it rained last night and this morning so I really wonder where it went. A few hours ago, my mom was looking out the window and lo and behold, The Bunny decided to reappear. First on our grass, then on our neighbor's driveway, and then our neighbor's front yard. I rushed to the window as my mom told me this and in my excited state I asked if I should and could go out and take a picture of it. Seeing that I was wearing pj pants, she told me to change first. So I did and ran out the door over to my neighbor's front yard curb. (I felt like a creeper at this point but I didn't step foot onto his grass so I think i was okay. AND i took all the pictures within 2 minutes or less) I quickly snapped a few shots of this mysterious bunny and quickly ran back into my house. haha..oh what an adventure that was. Enjoy the following pictures of the mysterious Bunny :D






[regarding the bunny]
: and then eat it.

I apologize if these pictures aren't good. I was sick the day we went on our field trip with the kids. But yea..enjoy :) btw, these pictures aren't edited minus the first one which i cropped and added contrast to and the window one.

one of the kids thought this was really creepy


One of the exhibits at Cal Science Center when we went--Conduct your own CSI investigation. It was very cool.
