Oktober Fest!

Ending off German week at school is our Oktober Fest sponsored by the International Club. 
It was pretty fun with balloon tosses, donut eating contest, and German hot dog and pretzel sales.

It was a great way to end the week. Plus, I get a four day weekend! Whoooo! PSATs on Wednesday though....

Anyway, after school I came home to a letter from an old friend, which lifted my mood. Thanks, I'll write back soon. I went to the first Confirmation 09 meeting and helped out. Paulina and I left for Foster Freeze for ice cream and then I went off the YFC for Crisann and Jennifer's meeting on Values. It was a pretty long day, which is good. I like long days more than short fast days because life slows down and I actually get the chance to live it. Where as short fast days just seem like everything around me is moving a superspeed and I can't "live". 
After the meeting James and Jeremy dropped me off.

The weather is getting pretty windy, pretty fast. Pictures up soon.

South African Soweto Choir

So today was a pretty good day.

I got to skip most of school to go on a field trip for my Steel Drums class. We went to Stanford University to see this South African Soweto Choir. It actually was a pretty interesting experience. I really regret not bringing my camera. The South African music was amazing. The singing, drumming, and dancing that they put on was quite a show. All the choir and steel drums classes went so Khrysten, Kathryn, Ariana and Roseanne went too.

Later on that day, I went home and chilled at Jomar's and Mios' for a little bit.

BRIC Brothers

Today was a pretty long day. Didn't get much homework done over the weekend so I was loaded with homework due today.

Tonight I was inducted and initiated as a BRIC Brother. Finally. It feels good to have a brotherhood at SFHS. Now we have something more to compete with against BCP.

Anyway, I had a short talk with my cousin about college and I'm getting pretty nervous. College is coming up soon and I'm going to have to work so much harder even though I'm doing well now.

Well, I'll upload pictures later. I spent a good chunk of time trying to find a Image program for my Mac. I found Aperture 2. Its working pretty well, but its kinda slow. I'll get pictures up from today as soon as I finish homework and upload pictures from last weekend. Haha.

Happy Monday!

Hidden Meaning of Your Name

So I saw this on Yahoo! and I thought it would be interesting.

So you name has hidden meanings? Kinda like a zodiac or destiny meaning?

How Numerology Works
When working with a name, numbers have corresponding letters. The numbers are added up and broken down into single digits in order to give you your final Destiny Number.

The Number Assignments

1= A, J, S

2= B, K, T

3= C, L, U

4= D, M, V

5= E, N, W

6= F, O, X

7= G, P, Y

8= H, Q, Z

9= I, R

How to Find Your Destiny Number

  1. Write down your full name (first, middle, and last). This is the name you were given at birth—not your married name, etc.
  2. Using the table above, write down the number matched to each letter in each name (i.e. AMANDA = 1, 4, 1, 5, 4, 1).
  3. Add the numbers together for each name (i.e. 1+4+1+5+4+1= 16).
  4. You will most likely get a double digit for each name; break down each double digit number you get by adding the first and second digit to get one number (i.e. from the 16 above, add together 1+6 to get 7, which is the number for my first name).
  5. Add up the final numbers you get from each name (i.e. my middle name number is 8 and my last name number is 10, so 7+8+10 = 25).
  1. Once again, break down any double-digit numbers into one digit to get your final Destiny Number (i.e. from the 25 above, add together 2+5 to get 7, which is my final Destiny Number).


In numerology, the basic vibrations are numbers 1 through 9, but the numbers 11 and 22 are master numbers and should not be reduced to a single digit since these are master vibrations.

There are plenty of books and Web sites that will give you a thorough analysis of your Destiny Number, but here’s a basic rundown on what your Destiny Number means for you:

1 is determined, autonomous, and self-reliant

2 is loyal, tactful, and analytical

3 is passionate, positive, and fun-loving

4 is sensible, traditional, and serious

5 is bold, temperamental, and sensual

6 is responsible, cautious, and domestic

7 is spiritual, unconventional, and somewhat reclusive

8 is money-oriented, assured, and authoritative

9 is versatile, compassionate, and worldly

11 is enlightened, deep, and high-strung

22 is ambitious, a global planner, and motivated

“A Destiny number of 7 means you will find fulfillment through teaching others. By pursuing an ongoing quest for knowledge and then sharing your findings with your fellow man ... be it through teaching, writing or some other means ... you will bring joy into your own life. By following your destiny, your life should be an interesting life, one full of the exploration of science, mysteries, the occult, or other fascinating fields.”

This was pretty interesting.

Anyway, today was all right. Victoria Van asked me to the MHS homecoming.
