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!
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!

Even though Katy Perry's Last Friday night (t.g.i.f.) is probably a much more suitable song for the summer.. by ingrid michaelson has always been one of my favorites! Everybody- Ingrid Michaelson
so far this summer..
6/9 thursday: chilled at school with friends when no one was there. yeah IM COOL. haha.
6/10 friday: badminton bbq! basil met miso <3 so cute + water fight!
6/11 saturday: seniors graduation :( and :) at the same time.
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:
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.

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! :)

...So at first, I was afraid that today's photo-shoot would be a disappointment, (due to the dark and rainy-ness) but it turned out to be quite the opposite. Tiny specks of rain fell nicely on my newly parted hair (please take notice that I do very well have bangs now) as Teri took the photos. Since the past few weeks have been a bit chaotic for me (you can say), being outside wearing this outfit made me clear my mind of all things in life. I was free for those few beautiful moments. Free from all work and responsibilities. All of my troubles and worries seemed to slowly disappear with the rain. I just felt as if I could become anything I ever dreamed of becoming. A princess..so be it! It's so nice to slow down in life sometimes and realize that nature can change our lives with the most little and gentlelest touches...
