because i like pictures. (part one)

welp! what's a blog without some pictures, right? oh, and i promise i don't camwhore a lot... but here are some pictures i want to share!

 here are a few of the people i consider my bestest best friends. from left to right we have melissa, cathy, shubi, and me. this was our christmas/new years party from 2011/2012. fantastic night of dress up, pictures, and silliness!

these two girls are probably my sisters. i've known them from as long as i can remember, and they've stuck with me through everything. melissa and cathy, thank you for being wonderful! this was taken at ansel's farewell party in september 2011. fun night, but intense planning! it was a surprise party, so...

 meet karin! she's probably one of the coolest chicks i know, and she's one of the funniest. take out the fact that i look pretty chubby in this picture, and we were mistaken for sisters today at work... she's my yoga buddy, and also my diploma prep bud. she's fantastic, and a wonderful friend. taken before the first evening showing of the lorax in march 2012!

 aaaah, high school... you meet new people, and you become closer with people. here, back in february 2012, is a common spare activity - camwhoring! i was never really close with any of them, but i'm glad i got the chance to meet them and spend time with them this year! from left to right we have aaron, jodie, myself, larry, and nicole.

and my lovely baby sister, winsome! she's insane. that's all you really need to know about her... insane, but one of the cutest and most caring people i know and love.

 peony! this was from christmas 2010, and it was the first christmas i can remember not spending it with rebecka and andrea! i've known her since birth, and she acts a lot like a mother sometimes! either way, she's a great friend.

 aaaah, april 2011. joyce's wedding! spent the weekend in vancouver with the lee's the famjam, and grandma. we had a lovely time at the wedding, and it's still shocking to know that the girl who used to watch over us all the time, and acted a lot like my older sister is married... bizarre, in such a cool way!

 heeeeey, pappppppy. this was july 2011 at olds college. spent 3 days here with the church, meet my dad. he's old and cranky, and forgets about me A LOT. but i guess i love him... ;)

 july 2011 at olds! the youth group of blessed christian church! thankfully, i don't have to blur out assholes who don't/shouldn't belong to our church! yaaaay! anyways, we had a blast here, and i've seriously known everyone since i was born. left to right: peter, teman, jerry, andrea, natalie, mary in front of natalie, peony, jonathan in front of peony, priscilla, rebecka, myself in front of rebecka, nathanael behind rebecka, gary, barnabas, and jun.

 also from olds college. the guuurls! left to right: peony, margie, andrea, mary, natalie, grace, myself, priscilla, rebecka.

 thanksgiving 2011 with the cousins! this was taken outside dai yee's condo/apartment. i love these people so much. family, thick and thin! left to right: sammy, myself, mandy, monica, tony.

 oh my gosh, these girls. they're probably some of my absolute faaavorites! how we met will always be embarrassing and awkward to tell.... but oh well! i believe this was december 2011. we have the best skype dates, and we're super sleuths. ;) myself at the top left, marissa top right, and izzie bottom middle!

 the cutest little girls EVER. they're twins, and i can't ever tell them apart... though, i think mary is on my left (looking at the picture), and grace is on my right. christmas 2011.

mid autumn moon festival of october 2010! classic home alone picture at uncle b's house. family times are the best times. (: left to right: teman, myself, sammy, monnie, mandy, winsome.oh yes, teman is my brother. (:

aaaaaand onto part two...
