It's my birthday!!!! YAY!!!!!! haha- and my friends came and woke me up this morning with crepes and a pirate bear and sang to me! IN 5 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES! English. Chinese. Spanish. Swedish. And French! Basically AWESOME! And then they sang Primary birthday songs to me- haha! I feel old!!!! Basically. ;)

Pizza and a movie! Then GUITAR HERO!! yEAH!!

Basically I fetching love to play my ukulele. I usually play it when I'm stressed out or something, but I've also been known to pull it out whenever I feel like I want to...! I've been teaching myself tons of songs!!! I can play:

• Aloha Oe
• Tofa Mai Feleni
• Pearly Shells
• Sa Vali Vali
• a few more that my grandpa sings
• Some Hymns (except I transpose them all to the key of G... cause it's way easier!)
• Pachelbel's Canon, and therefore I can play select parts of:
• Sk8er Boi
• Let it Be
• Basketcase (I can play all of this song)
• Graduation
• One Tin Soldier (I remember my dad singing this song to us all the time in the car- maybe to get us to go to sleep...?)
• We're Not Gonna Take It (I only know like 3 lines of that song, and guess what the lyrics are? haha!)

Basically I just love to play my uke! It's pretty much in my blood. Fa'a Samoa baby!!

On Your Mark... Get Set... GO!!!!!!!!

Basically, that's how it goes!

I feel like I try and try, but when is it going to be good again??

[Verse 1:]
Run,
Run like you do
I'm chasing you
I'm on your tail
I'm gaining fast
You're going nowhere
Try to fix what you've done
Turn back the sun
The night is calling
And we're falling faster now

[Chorus:]
Pushing me away
Every last word, every single thing you say
Pushing me away
You try to stop me now but it's already too late
Pushing me away
If you really don't care then say it to my face
Pushing me away
Push push pushing me away

[Verse 2:]
Stop! Tell me the truth
Cause I'm so confused
Spinning round these walls are falling down and I need you
More than you know,
I'm not letting go
I'm getting close, so take my hand
And please just tell me why

[Chorus]

Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away
Push push pushing me away

[Chorus]

Pushing me away.

PREFERENCE!!!

Oh my I went to Preference last Saturday and had a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are my pictures- I just got them today! My group was THE BEST!!! (sorry, my scanner is not the best, so these are not the best quality pictures... they're better in person!)

It's for my own good... I just have to keep telling myself that!

epitome [i-ˈpi-tə-mē]: n. a typical or ideal example.

The epitome of evil: Listening to my little brother play Guitar Hero WORLD TOUR (which he NEVER plays cause he's always playing stupid GH 3: Legends of Rock and he KNOWS that World Tour is my FAVORITE!!) while I'm upstairs trying to be productive (such as homework, piano practice, more homework...).

bleh.

"Aunt Stephanie" ...it has a nice ring to it! ;)

I'M AN AUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!! I have a brand new nephew named Kai and he is SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!! Here are some pics, but really- the cutest ones (with his eyes open!!) are on my phone- ask me about them when we are together and I will be MORE than happy to show you! I love him!!!!!

Kai and Enoch at the hospital

Kai and his daddy!

ME AND KAI!! I LOVE HIM!!!

The day he was born- oh my goodness, you have to see the pictures on my phone cause they are so cute!!!
