Leaving My Mark

Passing time.

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:54:25 GMT

I tried being all "normal" and stuff at the beginning, but I got distracted halfway through, came back to this and couldn't be bothered trying. Yeah I'm really sorry I'm sounding pretty upset lol S=

Ten Things I Wish I Could Say to Ten Different People (but don't say their name):

1. You're sooo freaking cute that you deserve to be set up with my awesome friend

2. I'd honestly be really pissed off at him right now if I was in your position, so I imagine

3. I never know what to think of you

4. Are you really a player? (not about Miguel dw lmao)

5. You're cool as a friend, but I question your morality and true intentions

6. You really can't sing

7. If I ever had a child like you, I would hate myself

8. You are the exact opposite of what I ever want to be, in this life and every other possible life (not that I believe in other lives, and this isn't about my rents or anything, dw again lol)

9. I'm jealous of you, but part of your personality is pretty screwed up

10. Don't ever compare yourself to me, I'm not in that league

Nine Things About Myself:

1. I fart in front of people I'm comfortable with, even in their face (ask Aragon)

2. I'm crap at writing poems/lyrics

3. I truly believe that if I had more space/less stuff, my room would be a thousand times cleaner almost all the time

4. I am still in the "personal fable" psychological stage (as described by D. Elkind)

5. Due to previous point, I therefore care about what other people think

6. I don't find myself as having an interesting personality

7. I find doing this particular task of listing 9 things about myself extremely difficult to not sound depressing (although I'm not depressed, just not in a great mood atm)

8. I sometimes wonder what my funeral would be like, who would turn up, what they would do and say, etc etc.

9. I have the ability to make my dog's hind leg twitch (in delight) when I give her a tummy rub

Eight Ways To Win My Heart:

1. Love music � play an instrument/s (which includes voice as an instrument thank you!)

2. Find kids cute/funny (apparently, what girls find "cute", guys consider "funny")

3. Love animals, particularly dogs

4. Make me genuinely laugh, preferably make me almost/actually pee my pants

5. Compliment me/smooth talk (lol yeah I'm such a sucker)

6. Be truly different to other guys, preferably slightly feminine (for emotional reasons.. ask if you're lost lol)

7. Being knowledgeable (but not being cocky about it)

8. Going out of your way to impress me (not necessarily distance-wise)

Seven things that cross my mind a lot:

1. Uni and work to do with uni

2. My boyfriend and family and friends

3. Food

4. My future and almost everything about it

5. How things, including people, got the way they are (scientifically/socially)

6. The happenings in every different level of society and group and such

7. What people are thinking

Six things I do before I fall asleep:

1. Talk to Miguel

2. Pray

3. Move my dog to the side of my bed (yeah, she sleeps on my bed with me, on a diff blanket but)

4. Big, in-bed stretching

5. Set my multiple alarms and/or check the time (depending on the day)

6. Think/wonder about things

Five people who mean a lot:

1. God (which really constitutes as 3 persons to me..)

2. Mum & Dad

3. Jane & Angela

4. Miguel

5. A lot more obviously, but I don't wanna pick and choose from my friends, and plus I already cheated anyways lol

Four things you're wearing right now:

1. Black home pants (nice and warm)

2. Red long sleeve sleepy top

3. Underwear

4. .. Hair?

Three songs that you listen to often:

I don't have a constant three

Two things you want to do before you die:

1. Travel

2. Write a legit will

One confession:

Unsatisfied.

Venting?

I can't sleep. Or don't want to, really.

WARNING: The following blog entry may be slightly depressing to read.

So now I'm doing 8hrs at uni as oppose to 23hrs last year. I've realised that this gives me A LOT of time to think to myself.
For those who don't know, I have 2hrs of uni a day, Mon to Thurs, and these 2hrs are usually separated by a large break (with the exception of Wednesdays) - 4hr breaks on Mondays, 7hr breaks on Tuesdays, 5hr break on Thursdays. I'm too poor and license-less and car-less to do anything worthwhile during these breaks.

My point is, that I've been thinking a lot more than I used to, which means I'm thinking almost all the time now. Sometimes I enjoy thinking to myself, but of course, it depends on what my mind wanders off to.

Having a lot of time to think (during breaks and train rides etc) and the week before my "rags" (my very emotional time of month) doesn't go together very well. Being grumpy and tired doesn't help either. Annoying and otherwise clashing personalities worsen the situation further.

To those reading, other than Miguel, you are VERY lucky you're not my boyfriend, particularly during this "time of month". I know there are people who don't believe in the emotional changes of women before/during/after their "regulars", but scientifically, I believe it. Think about it, your body is "disposing" of unused eggs, which is connected to the reactions of different hormones, which end up going crazy in the body and hence causing emotional changes. (You can tell I'm not bothered to get into specifics). But honestly, i think it's true, also because it is only (usually) once a month when me and Miguel fight, whether it's a serious fight or not so serious, and I know of other couples that experience the same monthly fights.

Why am I going on about this? I don't know. I don't feel like sleeping. I'm a little upset. I really wish I could express everything I'm really thinking and feeling, but this is public and such, so I can't really.

Btw, for those who actually read this blog, I'm so sorry for the massively long, uber huge gap between this blog and my last one. I've been pretty lazy and preoccupied with other things, whether it be uni (not really), thinking about stuff, or just being lazy. But I think, subconciously, I haven't blogged in a while because I found out that there are actually a few more people than expected that read or have read this blog, which for some reason made me reluctant to tell the world of what I'm thinking and/or feeling because there actually IS people out there reading it. I know it might sound stupid considering it's a public blog and all, but this feels more like a semi venting space to some people, but not heaps and heaps. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy people have actually read my blog, it's kinda flattering I guess.

Yeah.. I promise I'll make a happier, more "normal" blog later. Perhaps tomorrow if I'm bothered lol (=

Thanks kids.

Philippines! - The Build

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 01:45:40 GMT

So of course, the build was the best part of the trip, the reason why we were there, and what formed all the different kinds of relationships between people.

At the airport and at our first group dinner at Jollibee, we were strangers coming together for a common cause, but by the end of the build, we were like one massive, insanely huge GK family. You could feel the love to and from everyone! Some in different ways HEHE!

Some events during the build from memory..

I think it was the second day of build, at the end of it when half of us played a physical, running around kinda game and the rest done whatevers, the girls (Cheng, Cres, Leah and Marylou) done their laundry together (manually hand washing and scrubbing clothes together with the use of water, laundry detergent and a bucket). While they done their laundry they had full dnm's without me! This was their first one. It was 'cause I was playing the game outside hehe! But yeah, the night of that arvo, I joined their chit chat ness during dinner. It was just like girly talking and talking about our GK crushes and stuffs. So since then, we had talks in the night and stuff, half the time it was just talking about random stuff. Omgosh Leah's freaking funny as! And she doesn't mean to be! She's one of them really really book smart people who's just kinda not so smart common sense wise ROFL! <3 <3 Yeah Leah was the one who accidentally said suggestive slash blatantly sexual comments, unintentionally! LMAO! And then I ended up being the second dumbest or something. Sometimes we were equal? But everytime I said something sexual unintentionally, I'd be like "NOOOO! I AM NOT LEAH!!!" But I think for some reason, Leah was at her dumb peak during the build. No idea why ahaha. And after the build it seemed to be me so yeah lols! >.<" And Cres had her dumb moments too! But not as often as me or Leah. And the Cheng was just really deaf! LMAO! So yeah us girls ended up pretty chummy.

OMGOSH! After all the times that Cheng mocked me and laughed at me (with the rest), she had an ultimate blonde moment! This was after GK, we were eating Jollibee before going to a party, and it went like this (shortened, paraphrased version) -

Miguel: Yeah I work at the Wiggly Play Centre. I have to wear the Wags the Dog suit sometimes.
Kuya Raffy: Doesn't it get hot in there?!
Miguel: Nah it's alright, there's aircon.
Cheng: What, in the suit??
*pause*in shock*did Cheng just say that?!*
Everyone: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah that was heaps good! Even though it wasn't part of the build BUT ANYWAYS! (=

OOOOHH!! One of the best, funniest things that happened during the build! We were on a short break during building just sitting down and bumming a bit. Miguel always teases Sarah (from Melbourne) and vice versa. They were saying something, I don't know, that's irrelevant, and then Miguel got his FRESHLY USED, sweaty, dirty, still warm working sock and THREW IT AT SARAH'S FACE! As as reaction and in disgust, she threw it back at his face, where it got STUCK IN HIS BRACES! And then!!!! He was like "Aaaahh! It hurts! I can't get it out!"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear it was the funniest things you would see in your life EVER! The sock was dangling by a thread that was stuck in his braces! It was THE BEST! This was like the story of GK that almost everyone knew about! Oh man that was ultimate! Not that many people actually witnessed it though, maybe about 6 of us including the 2 involved and me. THE BEST!

Oh man! On the paint fight day of the build, we finished digging the second of two septic tanks (a massively 7ft deep rectangular hole), so a bunch of us jumped inside it and moshed! It looked heaps mad! (I didn't get to go in 'cause I got there late and it was packed. Boo!) But yeah it looked AWESOME! They were jumping to house music they sang themselves, and people outside poured a bucket of water in and made it even more muddy than it already was so everyone was slipping and sliding everywhere but didn't fall 'cause they were compressed together. It was awesomely messy and dirty! Esp since everyone was already covered in paint before that! There's a vid of it somewhere on FB and/or YouTube. Then eventually people started coming out by a simple ladder one by one, but then before Kuya Raffy and Ferdie could get out, James took out the ladder ROFL! So they stayed in there a little longer and mud wrestled! ROFLMAOOOOO! There was body slams and everything! But they love each other so it wasn't crazily painful for them or anything. There's also a vid of this on FB and/or YouTube! But eventually they had to come out and we continued doing whatever we were doing lol.

Man there was SOOOO much that happened during the build, I can't remember everything slash I can't put everything up LOL! But yeah, it was freaking awesome! Best YGAT I've been on so far (even though this was only my second one). It's seriously such a good experience and a real eye opener. Everyone experiences GK in a different way. It's totes open for all of you to try! And GK's not only in Phils! It's in Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, India, soon to be in Africa, and there's other countries but I just don't know them all lol. For anyone reading who wants to make a REAL, physical difference, a difference where you don't just send off your money and hope it's going to the right place, if you want to INSPIRE the people you are helping, I really think that GK is the answer. It's tackling poverty at a different angle, the way it should be dealt with, head first. It's about stepping outside of your comfort zone of 5-star living in Western worlds.

Before critisizing, a lot of people always say "Why bother spending your money to travel overseas and do it? Why not use that money for the materials and pay people to build?" It's not about just letting other people do it. Actually going all the way overseas, using the money you worked hard for, it shows to the people in the villages that you really DO care about them, they they're worth it. To all the filo's out there, how many times do you hear that a family member overseas has fallen seriously ill and your mum or dad or other family member flies over because they care about them. It's the same sort of thing!

Anyways, I've got a lot to say about GK. Anyone who's experienced GK will support it with all their heart, I know, you just can't help it because you just know that it's such a great cause, you just know that GK is the answer to poverty. And bear in mind that GK doesn't only build homes for those without, they also build facilities such as schools, community centres, medical centres, etc. And! GK provides different programs such as educational sponsorship ($300AUD from kindy to the end of high school or maybe even college), livelihood programs such as teaching fishing, sewing, carpentry, etc, and there's also youth rehabilitation programs (because before GK, there's a lot of teenages that turn to drugs and alcohol which usually result in violent behaviours to forget about their depressed situation, as early as 10yrs old).

Like seriously, you don't understand how passionate I am about this, especially since after going on GK. There's just soo much passion that my hands have been a little shaky and my mind's been burning with thoughts 'cause I'm trying to write the right things. You can't help but be so passionate about GK, especially after hearing the stories of the people who live in the GK houses, hearing about their old life and how much it's truly changed their entire life because of the generosity of so many volunteers of GK. No one gets paid in GK, we are ALL volunteers btw. We do this out of love for our brothers and sisters in our homeland, and even if Phils isn't your homeland, you'll feel like part of the family when you live in the GK village because they're just so caring and loving. They become your "GK family" as everyone says. I've got my GK mum and dad there, my GK sisters, Bernadette and Bianca, and GK brother Paul. And once you form this connection with them, your heart just burns so much to continue helping them and others like them. If you've seen my FB main photo, that's me and my little GK sister Bianca. I love her so much! I really do!

Philippines!

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 08:21:32 GMT

Listening to: Little Miss Pipedream - The Wombats

My 3 week adventure in the Philippines!

18th Jan 09: Sydney, Jolibee, Hotel

So our flight was at 12.30pm, but we had to be at the airport by 8am since we're such a big group to organise and we were checking in together. That morning, my dad woke me up freaked out saying "it's already 5.30!" which was the time I was planning to leave my house, so I got dressed and left. When I got in the car, I saw that it was 4.30. Zomgosh! So I was at the airport at like 6.30 or something! Oh mens!

By 8.30am or so, everyone was there and we got to meet everyone. I bummed with Leah, Ray an Nikkie mostly that day.

The flight was kinda bad. I'm usually a great flier, but by the end of that trip I felt sick, along with a bunch of other people like me. Poor Leah chundered 3 times!

From the airport, we went to Jolibee for a welcome, the low-down, and DINNER! There was soooo much food! It was GREAT! Groups and roomies were organised. Then we finally got to the hotel and crashed.

19th Jan: Touring Manila

Woke up early to go to Intramuros (not sure how it's spelt). This was a place of historic stuff to do with the Spanish taking over and stuff. Went to Max's for lunch. It was Marcel's birthday, so we sang for him, then a while later, the staff in the restaurant sang a few songs for him! Hehe! That was fun. Thens we visited 2 completed GK villages. They look so awesome! One of them is a different design due to restricted land, so they're skinny, but 2-storey! 'Twas cools! (=

20th Jan: Arrival in Palawan & Mayor's Special Dinner

We had to leave the hotel at like 4am or something for our flight to Puerto Princessa, Palawan, via Cebu Pacific. This flight was also not fantastic, but what can you do. We had a lovely welcome at both the airport and the GK village! We all got shell necklaces hand made by the GK village people! (= There was a welcome program for us, including dances by some of the kids in the village. We were then shown to our respective temporary GK foster home with our roomie buddies. I was assigned as the Tagalog speaker S= LOL! My Tagalog isn't so crash hot, you see. (we go in pairs or three's into different GK homes, with one or more translator kinda people).

After mingling with our adopted families and unpacking or whatevers, we gathered into our groups to make our team flags! I was in Jonno's team, and thanks to ME, our name was "Jamaican Me Crazy!" HEHEHEHE! Other names include Team Rock It, Mabuhay, Fried Chicken, Synerge, Team Menace, Turtles, Iguanas, and Centrafugal Creame Coloured Cougar Cats (later known as CCC-etc etc).The flags can be viewed via Facebook.

For dinner, we were one of few special groups invited to some special dinner hosted by the mayor or the Peurto Princessa. It was pretty fancy! We eated yummy food, there were performances, and we got rain sticks as a present! But most of us left it in the village for our host family since we knew we'd most likely not get them through customs.

21st Jan - 24th Jan: The Build

We got down to the dirty business! We started off in our groups doing different jobs, such as painting the steel thingo's for the roofs, laying and flattening the foundations for the house floors (by dumping dirt in and dancing all over it to flatten hehe), and beginning the digging of the septic tank (which had to be about 7ft deep!). Over the days we also sifted sand, mixed cement manually with shovels, moved bricks and heavy heavy bags and buckets of sand and cement, cleared the land around the houses, landscaped, cemented walls, painted walls, and painted each other! WEEE! The paint war is also on Facebook. (I had some battlescars even til a few days after! It's such a pain to scrub off, using a bucket to shower!)

The build was AWESOME! Of course, there was a constant, clean water supply, and we could take breaks whenever we needed to, no one was pushing anyone beyond their physical limits. We also had group breaks, where we had some snacks and games even! Games are great! Ooh! And we didn't build by ourselves! We had pro's and people from the village helping and telling us what to do and how to do it. Even the kids in the village helped! Annndd! People from outside the village came as wells! Like people from high school and uni's (but some/most came 'cause they had to as a part of school/whatevers. They helped nonetheless!).

This section of the trip created bonds and friendships between the YGATers AND the people in and around the GK village! There was a lot of sweat and different smells, and the viewing of nipples of shirtless males.. AHAHAHAHA! LOTS of things happened during the build!

I shall stop now, let your eyes rest, and continue this later. (=

I'm back! n_n

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:13:43 GMT

So yeah! I'm back in Sydney! And I have lots of adventure stories to tell of the Philippines! And since there's so much to tell, I've decided, now, that I will slowly blog of these adventures, perhaps day by day or so? Or maybe it'll work better if I do it weekly, since I was in the Phils for only 3 weeks, exactly. Don't worry, I won't make it too daunting haha! I'll try my hardest! I'll have to skip a lot of stuff though LMAO!

For better insight to these stories, please view my facebook albums, or perhaps other people's albums of the GK YGAT 09 trip. These are also being slowly uploaded (well my ones anyways haha - I have 4.55GB's of photos and videos! Although this includes a bunch of random photos of nothing that the kids in the village took 'cause they liked playing with our cameras. Ahaha!).

Hello!
Welcome back to me!
And thank you! *bows*

WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:49:07 GMT

So!

I have a doggie!

She's a 3 yr old jack russel, already named Jackie.

Her old owner was a dude who had Jackie and another dog for x years, then he go a girlfriend and gave his dogs away to my family friend, who gave Jackie to us. For free.

She's a lovely doggie! She's just a little clingy to people, she likes people around.

She whinges kinda a lot as well 'cause she's a freaking panzy haha. Whenever we go walking and she hears another dog barking, she starts whimpering and walks faster. She already walks pretty fast man! If i had to keep up to her speed, I'm already jogging! Gives me a reason to go out jogging.

She's a house trained dog and whimpers when she wants to do a wee-wee or doo-doo. I take her walkies to around the block and she sniffs out where she wants to do her stuff.

I had to sleep next to her the first night we got her, I slept on the couch and she was at my feet. She slept on the couch again last night, but my mum doesn't want her on the couch.

She stays upstairs in the lounge room and verandah.

Her leash is made up of a real leash plus a bunch of those neck key chain thingo's tied together, so it's pretty long.

And she's usually tied to the foosball table and she's blocked off 'cause I'm afraid she's gonna fall between the rails of the stairs and DIE! )'= Miguel thinks having her leashed and blocked off is silly 'cause she's not dumb, but for now, I'm still afraid of her falling to her death! )'=

She likes me and Jane the best, 'cause we bum with her and stuff. My other sister, Angela, doesn't really like Jackie 'cause we were meant to get a different breed puppy boy and name him Flap Jacks. We were kinda surprised when the dog came over 'cause it was really really random (during my dad's house party thing).

Yesterday, Danny, Jazy, Krissy and Ecky came over to see Jackie. Danny seems to love her, esp when she stands on her hind legs haha. He wants to battle our dogs, where his dog, Pony, is a thousand times bigger than Jackie! LOL cheater! Pony still can't stand! XP

I get the feeling that when me and Miguel come back from Phils (we're leaving on the same day, diff flights), he's gonna be over more than usual, to see Jackie and not someone else lol. Every now and then, I'm gonna walk her aaaaalll the way to Krissy's house 'cause she asked me to haha, and probs Miguel's house sometimes too.

***

I'M GOING TO PHILS IN FIVE FREAKING DAYS!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!??!?! OMGOSH IT'S SOOOO CLOSE NOW!!!!! (I was gonna say "it's so close, I can taste it!" then i got hungry lol)

I'm going to the airport on Sunday morning, so I don't know how I'm gonna go to Mass 'cause I've got my Dad's surprise party on Saturday night S= I just realised that now. Anyways. I'm meeting the bulk of the GK YGAT09 group at the air port, and I'm pretty sure we're all sitting together. I hope I get a window seat! >.< 'Cause I like looking outside and it's good to lean on for sleep (=

When we get to Phils, we're gonna take a bunch of cars to Marikina Hotel, drop off our stuff, and that's where I'll FINALLY SEE MIGUEL SINCE OVER A MONTH! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE HIM!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
And then once everyone's droped off their stuff, we go for dinner at a restauraunt kinda near by! (=

So I'm gonna be staying with the GK group for 2 weeks, then I've got one week at either my cousin's house on my Dad's side (most likely), my cousin's house on my mum's side, or Miguel's grandparents' house! It seems a lot easier to stay at Miguel's grandparents' house with him since they've got transportation, a bunch of spare rooms (an extra house even!) and don't have kids that go to school or are 3 years old to take care of and we're leaving on the same day as well and stuff stuff stuff. But it's kinda rude to not to go my family's place so yeah. In this extra week, I'm excited to go shopping! I haven't properly gone shopping in AGES!

And theennnnn! A few days after me and Miguel get back to Australia is Valentine's! So we have to plan and/or book whatever we're doing soon! Since we're not gonna be in the country and all! S= Probs a picnic and stuffs (= Just something small, simple and nice (= (=

Ooh my gosh! My Dad's surprise has almost been blown a few times! Far out this is freaking hard! But since I'm a little see beef typing, and 'cause I have to go to work kinda soon, my Dad is clueless about the party (hopefully), but knows we're still surprising him with something, 'cause we didn't give him a present on his real bday. He thinks we got him a pool table hehe. It'd be pretty cool if we did, maybe we shoulda just got him that instead of a humungo dungo party. It'd only be about one grand, unlike this party! But yeah.

So I'm not accepting any spending money my parents might give me for Phils, 'cause my mum's spent heaps and heaps and heaps of money for my dad, aaannnndddd she donated a lot to GK in my name and helped me with my fundraising, helping me win and stuffs. Not to mention her buying me this laptop just before Christmas '07, paid for my GK and Phils trip including over $1000 spending money in Jan to Feb '08, AAANNNDDD my big 18th debut in the Polish Hall that was pretty effing expensive! So yeah, I'm not accepting any money, even though I'm only bringing about $250, but that's alright, better than nothing at all right? I'm also asking my sister to give me an early birthday present hehe.

See ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!

I'm not in the city )=

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 11:48:46 GMT

` I cleaned my room! Finally! I don't think I've already mentioned that. But YAY it's cleeeaaaaannn! I have waaaayyy too much stuff I swear! That's one of the main reasons why my room's always messy.

Things to note.

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 12:38:12 GMT

+ Today, I saw an emo kid wearing the shirt that says "Cheer up, emo kid".

+ Someone got jumped outside my work (Woolies) tonight. We had to call an ambulance 'cause they couldn't walk properly. They think he might have a broken rib or two.

+ I got my eyes checked today. My eyes are pretty good, just a tiny bit off. I could wear glasses if I wanted to, but I don't need them.

+ Went doctor's today to check up on my vaccinations and to get a prescription for malaria tablets for GK. I'm not immune to Hep B. S= .

+ Today and yesterday were the hottest days in my history of living to my rememory. Like effing eff nut effers! Seriously! Ten.

+ Bought my green dress for my dad's surprise 60th! Finally! After looking for SOOO long in different places! Such as Blacktown, Parra, DFO.. ALL around each of these places! Intensely searched for a green dress! And I finally found one in Blacktown, I didn't go in Forecast last time for some reason. It's not awesome, but it's nice and green lol. I also bought a new toothbrush 'cause it's been more than 3 months.

+ Ooh! When I went to Parra to find my green dress, I bought a white dress, a purple one, my money tin, calendar, and something else I forget. And when I looked for a green dress in DFO, I bought brown heels, a loose dress I intend to wear beaching, and a pretty, loose cream top. And peach & raspberry bread. Lol. I only bought these 'cause I was depressed for not finding my green dress.

+ I've got mosquito bites on my feet from playing reverse Hide & Seek. (One person hides, everyone has to find that one person, once found must hide with them. Last one to find them loses. This usually involves some lying to other people who haven't found the hiding person in order to avoid being the last person)

+ My money tin will only consist of gold coins. It's going pretty good so far. It's only kinda small though, with the baby versions of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger (= (=

+ I also have a calendar! Yay! And I've already written some birthdays in it!

+ Miguel has braces AND just took out his wisdom teeth! Therefore making him lose weight.

Thank you and good night!
