December 30th- Leadership Field Trip

Today was the day that we have been planning for, the leadership field trip. The year 2011 seemed really fast and in two days 2012 is here, starting fresh. We have field trips because we value them. It's a great way to spend quality time with eachother. The agenda of the day was to go to the movies, alamoana and watch the fireworks. Today was Fun and a moment to capture for the rest of my life. Today is the last Friday of the year and we should all enjoy it to the fullest. Leadership had to meet at boys and girls club before 12. I arrived there around 11:45. When I was in the car heading there I was excited to see each and everyone of them, i missed all of them so much that today was the day to hang out and chill with them. When it stricked 12 we aboarded the school bus. We were missing a few leadership friends but I can't wait to see them when we get back to school. When we arrived at ward center we picked put the movie we were going to watch. We all ha different ideas and movies to watch, but some of the times didn't fit into our schedule. When we decided what our movie will be, it was alvin and the chipmunks ship wrecked. When we got out movie tickets we went straight to our movie theater. We sat in the middle section of the seats which was a good spot. When the lights were dimming I was so excited to see how this movie goes, I just love watching movies and saying with good company it's a great combination. When the movie started I was fastened into my seat and was ready to roll. The movie was WONDERFUL. It was hilarious, entertaining, and plain out amazing. One of the main characters in this movie, was in the other movie we watched last time, spy kids. She was the girl that was in the island for many of years. I watched all the chipmunk movies and I love all of them. The chipmunk were so cute! I just enjoy watching them. When the movie finished we waited outside because there was a situation, and we were down to one less leadership friend. The next destination we went to was alamoana we all had our free time. We arrived there at 4 something and was supposed to be meeting at the cinnamon place at 7. We were all in our groups and atleast had a partner with eachother. Me and my group went all over alamoana. It was so fun and adventurous! I bought things from jeans wear house, bath and body works, claire's and more. I enjoyed today because you should enjoy everyday like it's your last. It was so great to see my leadership family I missed them a lot. The next destination we went to was magic island. We watched the fireworks. The fireworks were beautiful. it had such amazing colors and designs and I'm glad I gt to see it with leadership. It was such an awesome and fun day, I would like to do something like this again. It was an magnificent experience a good way to end the last Friday on 2011!

2nd Quarter.

Today is the last day for second quarter, second quarter was a undescribable quarter. We had many interesting moments and memories in this quarter. For 8th graders, sadly we only have 2 qauarters left of school, but mainly 2 quarters left of leadership. It's scary to see time fly so fast like this. 2011 seemed like a fast year, and to look at it we all learned so much things during these pass two quarters. When I realize time is going by very fast; Just  remember live everyday to the fullest. Second quarter was a quarter were leadership all got closer together and is passing every obstacle in the paths together. This quarter leaderhsip had bumps on the road, but not all the days were depressing, there were days were everything is fine, and good. This quarter we added new jobs. For TV we still go on tv, but we also make playlist for lunch in the cafeteria. For music we play for the morning and wiki now. For afterschool sales, we work in the lounge in the morning and wiki and do sales afterschool. And, for ID's we do the same during morning and wiki. We also had moments were everything seemed wrong... but when we went through a process of the days passing by and improving we had a chance to overcome them and make a change. But there was also moments that I will always treasure through out my life. Wolf gang, rapping, singing, being kronik and just having fun with the people around us. Talking stories, laughs, spit flying through the air. There are MANY positive things throughout this quarter that truly impacted me. Today turned out to be a good day. I like having good days because we should enjoy everyday being happy because everyone deserves to at least smile. I ended second quarter very enjoyable which now is another memory that will live with me. My goal is to make third quarter as awesome as it can be! Winter break let's go. (:  

Winter Fair

Winter fair was very fun this year. We never got to walk around, but it was worth it because we are raising up money for our spring field trip. We work hard now, it will pay off in the future. Leadership had new things this year. We had pizza, icecream and juice just like last year. But, we got a new booth. It was dart game. Me and Rhea was parthners and assigned for the dart games. Me and Rhea was familiar with this job because we did it during welcome dance. When winter fair first started there was a long line and a lot of people crowding the table, sticking out the money in our faces. I loved working in that booth! How to play this game is to pop the balloons on the board with the darts and every balloon has a prize inside of it. You can win simple prizes like cookies, chips, icecream, drinks, pop tarts. But there was also awesome prizes like two big bears that I wanted and Jansports. We gave out all the jansports and bears and simple prizes because everyone is a winner. It was very busy at our booths, there was never a time no one was at that booth not playing, which is a good thing. It was pretty funny... the darts were all breaking, they throw pretty hard. When Rhea lest for her performance she left me to do the booth alone. It was funny watching people enjoy playing that game. Balloons were flying everywhere also darts were flying. Prizes was everywhere. Money was sticking out all over the place, everybody wanting to play so badly. It was a good energy around us. Our booth went smoothly and I enjoyed working the whole winter fair. When winter fair ended, we all cleaned up like it never even happened. Winter fair ended 2011's school year. I enjoyed my last winter fair in Ilima Intermediate, and I will always remember these memories made today.

Secret Santa

Today was the day all of our secret santa's have been revealed. This was one of the most funnest activity of the year! It has been such a wonderful experience to do, i'm glad we got to do secret santa this year, it was so enjoyable to do. When we picked names I was so nervous and excited to see who I would get, we couldn't do facial expression and we had to keep it a secret for the past weeks. The person name I picked was heighlee. It was interesting to read what all of us wanted for christmas and I was so excited for this day to come, and look the day came today. We picked names from a box to see who would go first, next, after... when someones name would be called they would have to go get their present and give it to the person they picked. And, the person had to open the gift right infront of us. We were gathered in the 4 desks together, and I liked it that way because we are all facing eachother in that position, and I love sitting by good company. First was Jacob, then so went on. I thought I was going to be called last, but when i heard my name get called I got up, walked around and gave it to...  Heighlee. Heighledd wanted the justin bieber CD, and something hello kitty. I got her a Hello kitty poster, and a justin bieber cd. I was so happy to see her facial expression when she opened her present, I was sooooo Happy she loved it! Chrsitmas is such a beautiful time to spend with the people you love and care about. It was a great and blessed feeling♥ When Melani got called I thought she had someone by me. But when I saw her walking toward me I was coming more nervous and excited who she was giving it to. Then I saw a shadow above my head. The gift was for me. When I opened it, I was wondering what is in there. When I opened it, she got me exactly what I wanted. She got me feather earings, nail polish, a necklace with my name on it. When I said thank you and she sat back down, I ran up to her, and hugged her. I was so thankful. When the activity was done, I can see from everyone's face and attitude that they were happy with what they got, and loved everything. Everything had good vibes. You just had to be there to experience everything! There was so much things that happened, and It's to beautiful you just had to be there. These types of memorys are the one's that will last a life time.

Picnic

Today was our picnic, which took place in A101 during advisory and lunch. When I first walked in the room the tables were together like a gathering. I was happy to see mostly all the leadership family in the room. We first started the picnic with some small conversations and started settling in. I like where I was seated, I was put between people I don't really know as much and I got to spend more time with them. This was the first time I experienced a picnic with leadership, and I loved it. I love spending time with each of them, and I want to get to know all of them more. After we started settling in, we started a line to get our food. I would like to thank Mr.Ing for the food he had bought us, I really aprreciate all the things he has done for us. There was variety of foods, rice, noodles, mac salad, meat, meatballs, chicken katsu. And, the snacks we brought in which we are saving for tomorrow. I brought brownies, I saw cookies, candy, sweets and all these delicious treats. When we all grabbed our foods and drinks, we ate together as a family. We went back for seconds, we talked about stories, we talked about things we experienced, we talked about all types of things. The food was yummy! and the everything had good vibes. I wish everyone was there to experience this amazing memory. We all got along during the picnic, and everything was great. I will treasure this moment. We all had many laughs, jokes and stories. In the future I would like to do something like this again, can't wait for us to see eachother again and make good days happen, Seeing leadership tomorrow and making more memories.   

Drive Safe For Ewa

Yesterday leadership helped with sign waving, drive safe for ewa. We sign waved in front of Boys and Girls club. We were dressed in our yellow shirts, long pants and shoes. We had to come school early, i came to school before 7AM. Maybe around 6 fifty something. We had all these different signs, some said "Don't drink and Drive" "Drive with Aloha" and some were in different colors. It was a great experience to do, we are helping our community be a better place. These sign help prevent car accidents, and help our community be safe. We started displaying the signs around 7 and ended around 7:50AM. It was a beautiful and friendly morning. We did nothing to cause distractions on the road, because we wanted the drivers to have a safe destination. But we still got some honks. And saw some friends on the road. What i like about this experience is we are having fun while helping our community become safe, also every honk, wave, smile we get made an impact on me. I was in a really good mood that morning, i smiled and waved. I showed my sign with pride. I'm glad we got to help sign wave. It felt really good knowing i'm doing something good for other people. I hope later on in the year, we will do more activity's dealing with helping people and doing good deeds. This was a fun experience to do.  

ISA Bowling.

ISA Bowling was today, and it was so fun to do! We got picked up around 8 something, and shared the bus with Waipahu. It was a fun ride there, and back to school. When we got there, my group was with Rhea, Shaela, Tamera, Chachie and Myself, which was the 8th grade girls group. The first round i did okay, maybe around 40 something points i got. Then, the second round i did really great! I got 60 something points, and was the highest out of my group. It was a great feeling. Around the second round we got hungry, so we bought food, and went back and forth eating, then bowling. We had 3 rounds to do. The third round i did okay again. What i ate there was nachos and a drink. haha, my shoe size was 3. Today was a awesome way to end the week, thank god it's friday. The third round i got 30-40 something points. We challenged 3 different schools, and it was an amazing experience to try. I went last year ISA bowling, and this year was pretty fun also, with different people. It's good to try new things, you know. Bowling was very fun to do, Mr.ing taught us some things to try, like what positions, and going closer to the ground, it really helped. GUTTER. We all at least got gutter, it was funny. We were all supported of each other. Even though we got gutter we would scream for each other, dance with each other, high five! grab the BOWLING BALLS together inside joke* Today was a great memory to remember for the rest of my life. I'm glad Leadership went all together♥, we are a team. By tomorrow this will be history. I'm glad i spent my day with them, (:
We finished around 12? 11? and dropped off waipahu first, it was cool riding with them again on the bus.
This ride back to school, was the best. we shared laughs, smiles, stories and new memories together. We also had vomit... ohmy. It was pretty funny. I rode with tamera, to the bowling place and back home it was fun. when we got to school it was 1 something, i would never forget this adventerous day. Hope you all had a fantabolous week, and and have a wonderful weekend.
