2012 Mini Recap
Wow. I can't believe how fast 2012 went by. It was often frustrating, had its moments of heartbreak, but more importantly - it provided me with memorable experiences with friends and family. My favorite 2012 moments recapped.

Participated in my first 5k and first 5k mud run called Kiss Me Dirty. This is us all dressed up to run and crawl through mud pits. It was a great experience! I plan to do a few more in 2013. Can't wait. 2012 was also a health/fitness themed year for me. Lots of hiking, 5k runs, jogging, and rock climbing adventures.

My Training Grounds. Lots of hills (extremely tiring), but lovely scenery.

Hiking Adventures in Denver with the EBOD 2012-13 Crew.



Summer trip for 2012 was Orlando Florida to hit up Universal Studios and DisneyWorld. Checked out the highly anticipated and talked about Harry Potter World. It was awesome. I loved the candy and butterbeer was pretty good.



My Charter Class. A very tiring, but worthwhile experience.



I am excited for 2013. Can't wait

...

Chill weekend full of lounging, reading, eating, and hanging out. Sometimes I wish I was still unemployed.

Happy 21st ;)

Part III - Japan Picture Summary





These pictures are from our mini weekend trip to Kyoto. I went there with Victoria, Terui, and another person we won't mention. The hostel we stayed at was pretty nice and the transportation system in Kyoto was a lot cheaper than Tokyo. It was also very convenient since the bus stops were usually right in front of the temples and shrines. First day we hit up the Kinkakuji and Ninnaji Temple, as well as the Nijo Castle.

The following day we hung around the Gion area of Kyoto. We wanted to find a place where we could try on kimono's but we weren't very successful. We stopped by the Toji Temple because we had heard that locals set up little stores there during the first Sunday of every month to sell some of their old and gently used clothing and other antiques. I should have bought a kimono or yukata there, but didn't really think about it at that time. The majority of our day was spent at the Kiyomizu Dera. And I don't know what happened to the rest of this post - but its been hanging out in the draft box forever.

Ear Wrap


I was bored today and found a quick DIY Ear Wrap project from this blog SEMI. Except I didn't like the feather attached.

photo post
I just recently discovered a whole file of pictures that I had either taken from others before graduation or finally downloaded from my camera. My favorite pics from 2010 Well as of now anyway.

Preparing for graduation at 7 / 8 am in the morning. Reclassified as part of the class of 2010 but I'll always be an '09. Busy texting during the graduation ceremony. Can you tell who they are?? My personal achievement.
