steak tartare

So, today during lunch.. my parents and I went to a French cuisine right outside the Sony Center. Anyways, one of the things on the menu was the "steak tartare". My mom thought it was like.. normal cooked steak.. but when she was ordering, she found out it was raw beef. like.. legit raw. no searing.. no cooking whatsoever. LOL! so, she didn't get that. my dad refused to get it too.. so they both got chicken. I ordered last.. and being the rebel I am, I ordered it. hehehhee.. when it came, it looked like a ball of ground beef.. but it wasn't, thank God LOL i looked closely and it was actually finely chopped meat with seasoning and onions in it. (note: i hate onions) .. but i ate it. and it was delicious! hmm, what else was on the plate? raw quail egg (i added it to the beef ball lol), chopped beets, pickled onions (they were pink!), green beans and mini dill pickles :) yea, it was an amazing lunch hehehhee

calling all gleeks!

Talking about show choir.. WE MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!! So basically, there were 13 schools in the preliminary round today.. and we made it to the top 6 and are competing tomorrow! :) hehehhee SYNERGY ftw! lol that's the name of my school's show choir :) but yea, today went better than I expected.. my last post makes it sound like I dread show choir.. but in all honesty, I love singing, dancing and.. somewhat acting lol! and I guess my normal characteristics still hold.. I was able to feel more comfortable with the members today lol.. anyways, I'm super excited for finals tomorrow! :D

the one awkward place.

Usually I'm the type of girl that can fit in just fine.. talk to people just fine.. make friends just fine.. hang around people just fine. Except there's one place I feel so.. out of place. Show Choir. It's kinda weird that it's that.. but it's true. All the Grade 12s that I know are all in their .. "dance-y cliques".. or "dramiee cliques".. or whatever.. and then there are all the younger kids. I think the only people that actually talk to me are the people in Grade 9. I feel so.. awkward. I fit right in. (my height kinda.. adds to that too..) but then when they start talking about school stuff, my mind keeps going "man, that was sooo long ago and seriously kids, don't worry" LOL but I can't say that. It's too.. weird. Plus, I think everyone there is like AY or AU kids. I'm special hehe. But yea, it's been getting better I guess. I need to break out of my shell and just have fun. lalalaaaa ~ we have Show Choir Nationals tomorrow! (aka no school) and it's in the Sony Center! (how cool is that? .. very cool) Anyways, I'm excited :)

be yourself.

what does that actually mean? if you aren't yourself, then who are you? "be unique" .. "be who you wanna be" .. but what if the person you wanna be like is "not you".. but it IS you cause you wanna be like that person.. right? hmm, or maybe you're trying to "find" yourself..? yea, i don't get that. you're already you. LOL i have no idea where I'm going with this post.. but the phrase "be yourself" confuses me. then again, maybe it's just another way of saying "be different".. why don't people say that instead? o well, whatever.. LOL just a thought.

James 4:17 (NASB)

Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
_________________________________________

it's inevitable that we sin everyday.. but this verse crossed my mind randomly yesterday. if we see someone in need and not help them, that's a sin. if we know we should do devos and spend time with God.. and not do it, that's a sin too. there are so many things that we just don't do and it's bad that we don't do them.. especially if we know it's the right thing to do. 
but yea, go be proactive LOL

(copynpasted from my Tumblr from March 26, 2012)
After all this has passed, I will still remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain.

hating someone's a choice.. wouldn't it be so nice if hatred never existed. the world would be.. interesting lol
