JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT!!!!! <3<3<3

I just got back from the Jonas Brothers Concert!!! Which was AMAZING!!!! Yes mock me make fun of me all you want, but they were amazing!!!! I went because, before, I was a huge fan of them and really wanted to go when they had their tour last year, but they didn't come to Vancouver. But now that they were coming this year I had stopped listening to them and wasn't anxious to see them. But then last Saturday my friend Jasmine and her mom invited me to go to the concert. At first I was like "eh...no...I never listen to them anymore, but I used to be such a big fan...but meh, I don't really care if I go or not." But then I started thinking about it and how much I really wanted to go before and that I had never been to a concert before and I always saw myself going to a concert like Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, or any band/singer that was from family channel, as a first concert. So then I began to start to really want to go to the concert. When I got home I asked my parents because I decided that this would be a good first concert to go to.

So for the past week I have actually been forcing myself to listen to Jonas Brothers so that I would be ready for the concert. I wanted to know all of their new songs, since it was the new "Line, Vines, and Trying Times" World Concert Tour. I also watched all the "Jonas" episodes in the past week so that I would be all Jonased up for the concert. :D Which I am so glad I did, because they played the tv shows theme song at the concert.

Okay so now I am going to do a play-by-play of what the concert was like. Since it was so amazing I want to remember it. :D So warning! If you are reading this and are going to be going to the concert I say STOP READING NOW! because you want it to be a surprise! :)

The beginning of the day....

11:30 am - I leave my house to go pick up Taelor.

11:45 am - I arrive at the house.

12:00 pm - We arrive at my house.

12:30 pm - We leave my house and go to McDonalds. Tae gets a Junior Chicken Burger meal and I get a Hot Fudge Sundae. Then we go to 7-11 to get Taelor a Slurpee. Then we hop on the bus.

2:00 pm - We arrive at Metrotown and meet up with Jasmine and her mom. We shop around for a bit and went to build-a-bear.

3:00 pm - We meet Jasmine's cousin at the food court. Me and Taelor get our tickets. :D We get food and hang out at the food court for a bit and then shop for another little bit. I got a hot pink and black spiked belt, hot pink and while polka-dot head band, and an earing holder at Claire's.

5:00 pm - We leave the mall. We pile into Jasmine's cousin's car with Taelor sitting on my lap, since we are short one seat.

6:00 pm - We arrive at GM Place.

6:30 pm - We finally get parking after driving around in circles. We get in line and Karen, Jasmine's mom, buys Jasmine a t-shirt. We find out that concert has been delayed one hour. :(

7:30 pm - They finally open the doors, after waiting hours to get in. There were so many girls there lined up!!!

8:30 pm - The show finally begins with Honor Society. I had never heard them before, but they were pretty good. I'd tell you the songs they played but I have no idea what they are called.

- Then Jordin Sparks began. There was a bit of a wait in between her and Honar Society.

She sang, First - One Step at a Time, Second - Tattoo, & Third - No Air. Chris Brown wasn't there to sing it with her, but that would've been really cool if he was. :)

- Then there was a bit of a pause. Then Kevin Jonas (the dad) came on stage and introduce the Wonder Girls

- The Wonder Girls were ok. I'd never heard of them before. But they are some girl band from Korea. They showed us their dance moves to kill time. It was really lame. Lamer then the Jonas Brothers!!!!

- Then finally after all the bands played the Jonas Brothers came on :D

So since I don't have time or in the mood to write about this anymore im jsut gonna list the songs they played.
its not exactly in the right order, but i can tell you that they began with paranoid and ended with burning up.

1) Paranoid
2) Burnin up
3) When you look me in the eyes
4) A little bit longer
5) SOS
6) poison ivy
7) battlefield
8) sweet carolina

Kara, Caleb, Evan's Grad Party '09

So I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately, but that is because I have been so busy lately with Kara, Caleb, & Evan's grad party. Actually I didn't even know that the party was for Evan until the party, aka last night. I didn't know Evan, so that wasn't really a shocker that I hadn't known about him, although he wasn't on the invite. That doesn't really matter, all that matters is that it was an AWESOME party and everyone had lots of fun!

The Preparation...

...began when I first found out about the party. When Kara told me about the party I first just became very excited and didn't do much for it, because it was a couple months ahead. Once it got to a month before the party that is when the action began to take place.

The Dress

First it was buying the dress. Me and Kara spontaneously decided to go dress shopping for the grad. It happened so fast I hardly knew what was happening. We were both just texting back and forth, while I was at school, and then decided to go shopping that day for a dress. Since I was still in school we had to wait till I was out, but I got to leave early from class because I had a test/final last block and I finished it in ten minutes so my teacher let us leave class after we were done the test. I actually got to the mall an hour earlier then Kara. While I waited for her I decided to get a Vanilla Bean Frappuchino with a shot of Espresso and Caramel, which Kara introduced me too.

Once Kara got to the mall I had finished my delicious frappuchino and we went on a search for a dress. We went to a few stores but walked out right away. Finally, we decided to go to Le Chateau. When we were at Le Chateau Jonathan joined us, to just chill. There I tried on many dresses, some pretty nice and some just plain crazy, but none that were what I wanted. They were all either too loose, too tight, too weird, and they were all just way too PRICEY. I did not want to spend over $100 dollars on a dress that I would only wear once to a party. I wanted a dress that I could wear for the party, convention, and meetings. Finally, after trying on multiple dresses and taking many pictures we decided to leave the store and go to another one. We had only a few minutes left because I had to be home soon, for our family study.

We went to one more store and found the PERFECT dress, well almost perfect. Let's just say the most comfy, multiple use, black dress. It was perfect! It was a plain black stretchy dress that was casual but since it was black it looked more formal. They had more then one color. The other colors looked more casual, and Kara loved the dress so much that she decided to buy one herself.

After that we headed towards that sky train. As we were walking to the doors there was a Booster Juice Store. I have never had Booster Juice and since Emily works at Booster Juice I wanted to try it. So we went to get a Booster Juice. I had no idea what to get so Kara helped me decide what to get. I got a Sonic Soy, I think, and then Kara insisted on getting me a WHEAT GRASS SHOT. It happened so fast I had no idea what was happening. She just told me that she was going to get me a wheat grass shot and then bought it. I had no idea what she was talking about so I was like, "um, yeah, sure, okay". Then the next thing I know is, I see one of the girls behind the counter cut up some grass and blend it together. Then they pour the green liquid into two tiny plastic shot cups and then put it on the counter. Then the next thing I know, I AM SUPPOSE TO DRINK THE GREEN STUFF! So Kara and I take a shot of wheat grass together and then a shot of orange juice, to get the bad taste out of our mouth. The wheat grass didn't taste so bad, it just tasted a lot like grass!

After our little wheat grass adventure I had to hop onto the sky train home.

The Hair...

...was the next to be done. A few days after the journey to wheat grass dress shopping Ardelis came over to show me what I could do with my hair for the party. She came over EARLY after school, which is very unusual for her, so I was not prepared for her to be there, but it was awesome that she was early. When she got here we just chilled for a bit while Ardelis checked her emails and we let my hair dry, from the bath I just had. Once my hair was mostly dry we went up to my room to try different hair styles. She showed me a few but we decided the first one she did was the best. It was a braided bun with ribbon in it that you tied into a bow.

After we decided that this was the best choice, we decided to straiten my hair just for fun. It took two and a half hours to do! It started to get very late, around 10, and it was a school night, so my dad started giving us warnings that Ardelis had to leave. We had originally planned to do our watchtower together, so we ended up doing it while Ardelis straitened my hair. Ardelis didn't leave until 10:30 pm. But it was totally fun and worth it.

The Gifts

Kara
In between buying the dress and doing my hair I went to a stationary store with my friends, from school, at lunch. When I was there I was looking at the cards and found a card that I thought Kara might like, but I didn't want to buy the first card I saw so I kept looking but I found myself always going back to that same card, so I decided to buy it. When I was at the store I saw a really cute photo album that I thought Kara might like but I decided not to buy it.

A few weeks later, as it gets closer and closer to the grad party I am Zellers and decide to buy Kara a collage photo frame. When I get home I go through photos to choose which ones should put in the frames. After a couple of hours of going through photos, editing, and picking the best ones I finally decide on seven photos to go into the seven photo frames. The next day I go to Superstore to get the photos printed but the computer will not let me print the photos to the specific sizes I need. The next day I decided I would take the photos to London Drugs to see if they could do it, but London Drugs was even worse. They printed the photos into a tiny square on the page, which I had to pay for.

So, finally, after all this running around I decided that I would go back to the stationary store, buy the photo album, and then go back to Superstore and get regular 4 x 6 photos to put in the photo album. I decided to stick to the photos I had originally chosen and thought I would leave the rest of the album open for Kara to put in her own photos.

Caleb
When I went gift shopping for Caleb, I had no idea what to get him. I thought to get him an Elton John CD, but then found out that he had already 42 albums! There was one album that he wanted but I couldn't find it.

When I was looking for a card for Caleb I wanted to find a Star Wars or Star Trek card, but I couldn't find any, nothing even close to it. I ended up buying him one of those music cards that play a song when you open it up. It was a graduation card that played the song "celebrate good times" song.

Pictures

Another thing to prepare for the party was a surprise slide show for the party, that Betty, Kara's mom, was planning. We had to get the pictures to Betty by Wednesday, week of the party, so that she could put it together. Since I had been so busy with the school year ending, exams, dentist appointments, and gift shopping I had no time to go through pictures. Finally, on Tuesday I got around to going through the photo albums. I found some photos, but there was a problem. I had to work that night and our scanner was not working, and I could not mail the photos to Betty, because they would get there too late. Since I had to work I had to wait till after work to go through the photos. I decided to send photos that I had on my computer, but then I remembered that I had baby photos on Facebook. So I decided to send my pictures from Facebook and computer to Betty. Finally, after a few hours of being on the computer I sent the photos to Betty and went to bed at midnight, with an exam that next morning at 8:30.

The Party...

...was a hit. It was an amazing party. It was the theme of Black & White Formal and it was a dance party. At first we all just talked and chilled. It was lots of fun. There were some new people that I had never met before, so that was a bit awkward, but near the end of the night we started up a game called the "Circle of Trust". It was a good ice-breaker game, but we didn't start it until the end of the party. It was a great idea and glad some one started it, but it would have been great if it was the first thing we did when we got there, so that we could get to know everyone.

The food was amazing! I loved that it was so professional. It was more I "adult food" you could say. The food was more appetizers - hor'douves, canapes, & munchies. There was a great selection, and I needed food in me, but I could not eat. I can never eat at parties. Its a shame because there is always a tonne of food at parties, but when I am at a party I am always either too anxious, excited, or feel awkward eating there, usually it's mostly too anxious or excited, rarely awkward, unless it's at a party I have no friends at. Also most of the time I am too busy dancing or talking to people. This time it was a little bit of all of that. I had so many mixed emotions going, because I hadn't seen everyone in so long, I was just excited to see everyone again.

Overall the party was amazing and can't wait till the next one. :D

Whister Bike Ride/Brandy Wine Falls

so i just got back from my day in whistler.
it was so much fun! i enjoyed it so much.
i went with just my family and 3 others from my hall. we started later then we had planned, but when we eventually started it was worth it.
we decided to take the easier route then we usually go, so we went much faster then we usually go. the weather was alright. it was pretty cold and it spit a little, and i didnt have a jacket or a proper sweater and i was wearing shorts, so i wasnt neccissarily prepared properally for it, but i was fine, cuz you get hot bike riding. so it was good. i love the feeling of the wind as it blows against your skin when you are going really fast. i was usually ahead of everyone, and if i was ever behind i usually caught up. it was so much fun! i want to go back again in the summer and with more of my frineds, cuz i think they would really like it. i really hope that it will work out.
after the bike ride we went out for lunch/dinner at the old spagetti factory. really yummy food. i got full so fast, even tho the whole entire bike ride i was so hungry. but it was really yummy food. i got french onion soup and penne chicken and then ice cream that came with the meal for dessert. :D
on the way back from whistler we stopped at brandy wine falls. it was really nice. i got some pretty good pics, cuz it was raining and it looked so good with all the umbrellas. now i want to edit some, cuz it think they will look really cool. :D on the walk back me and my bro attacked each others with umbrellas and then my bro ended up breaking his. :P
thats pretty much how my day went. so much fun, even tho it was rainy and cold, but it was lots of fun. and i loved being outdoors, especially whistler. so pretty up there.
