hello there! Haven't seen you guys in a while.. I've seriously been pretty busy. I finished my chemistry class though! But now I have to start on my summer assignments..anyways though, I went to the LA fashion district today! It was super hot, but totally fun! My mom enjoyed it the most I'm pretty sure because of all the fabric that was there (you could definitely tell from the pictures!) Speaking of my mommy..that's my parents and me (and basil haha) in the 3rd photo. don't we look awesome? Naturally models, stars, I know. hahah! Anyways..so we're still deciding on where to go tomorrow..i want to meet some celebrities! Haha, teri thinks i'm a total dork. Okay, well gotta go eat some grapes now.. haha toodles!

happy summer fellow bloggers + mommy's etsy!

freshman year has finally ended! i am officially a sophomore now. wow! this year has really gone by way to fast. the weather's finally getting sunny, and i finally have some real time to chill without thinking about an assignment i forgot to do.. and the senior's graduation was today! it was so bittersweet, but i am so ready to have fun for the next 2 months! oh, and both the necklaces are from my mom's awesome etsy shop, ttikstudios! please check it out whenever you can, guys! happy summer everyone!

"basil-boo" good news+bad news

how much cuter can this puppy get?

my beautiful and talented older sister, teri seaglass. she is so so good at making willow crowns (she's wearing one) and is super friendly (like a puppy, haha) and kind. she's the coolest kid on the block, and you should really check out her blog. :)

               

so we haven't decided on (our very first) puppy's full name yet, but it's going to go something like this:

.basil -boo "scout" ke$ha-niqua maybelle-licious chen. 

yup, that's right. pretty awesome stuff. she will turn 10 weeks this saturday. we've had her for about 2 weeks now, and she's already completely potty-trained! (that may be the normal time for any dog.. but im just too proud of her) i've literally wanted a dog all my life (well since i was 4) and that was my blowing-the-candles- birthday-wish every single year. i even had a "puppy funds" box since i was really little to save up money for a  puppy because my parents wouldn't let me have one. Well now, at the age of 15, i finally got my puppy. I cannot even begin to explain how overjoyed i am. i came upon just one slight problem though.. my birthday was just a few days ago.. and.. i no longer had a blowing-the-candles-birthday-wish. i mean, that's a good thing. but  yeah. haha.

lace tank: limited too, hand-me-down from me (!)

and.. here comes the bad news.. 

i've missed a week of school so far because i am extremely sick. i've been having a fever for the past few days, and now i'm coughing, sneezing, all that junk. i am so behind on work, but..that's okay, right? i'm always  feeling pretty good in the morning and afternoon (that's why i am able to blog right now) but as soon as that sun set.. you already know it. the pains kicks right back in.

Hey! no worries though. I'll get better in no time. let's talk more good news now.. so I did pass my piano test! (all of that practicing really paid off!) I am now officially a level 9 student! i am so so stoked. i got a 97% on my theory (written) test, Excellent on all my pieces (highest score), good on my technique (i was way too nervous!, second highest) & good on sight-reading (always been a stuggle for me :( ). I made it to the branch honors recital again this year though! (county recital). i also made the convention recital though too for the first time in my life (the state recital)! omg. 

wow. i can't believe so much has happened in such a short amount of time.. :)

.. oh no! ill have to talk to guys later because i can feel the headache coming back again! spreading the love to all my followers! :)

xoxo Tami Jam.

cutest. song.ever.

look at them calf muscles!

I totally work out 24/7. Got my calf muscles all buff. Uh, not really. But I do seem to see a change in my muscles because of school sports. Haha, I'm in my freshman year of high school right now; Therefore, I'm pretty much new to everything (even though the school year is well over half-way). New clubs, new sports, new classes, new teachers! Oh it's all actually quite overwhelming if you think about it. Haha, but anyways, so I just finished soccer season a few weeks ago, and I am now on the badminton team. I pretty much suck at every sport I play, but I do try my best! 

Oh right! (I just realized that you guys know nothing about my life) I am also the cartoonist and staff writer for our school's newspaper this year.. so... all that's set for the rest of the week is.. a badminton game tomorrow, work-night right after school until dinnertime on Friday (yay chipotle!), catch up on my Pretty Little Liars (oh Caleb!), and start on my portfolio (will show some soon) this week for AP art.. possibly.

But after all that's done... im free again!
