Green Gardens

So I planned a trip for one of the clubs I'm associated with. We traveled to the Botanical Gardens. I wonder if I'm ever gonna be one of those old folks that gardens. I doubt it, I love flowers yet bugs don't rub me the right way. If you know what I mean. Anyhoo, the colors were so vivid and the smell... oh, the smell was so green. Anyhoo, the spot was filled with so  many couples. t was cute and saddening all at the same time. I'm want to be in a cute relationship, *tear*. I need to insert a ladies empowerment song here, but I won't. I'll just overwhelm you with ton of photos. I'm really developing as a photographer. Watch out world.
We started off at a quirky pizza shop called We, the Pizza. Its on Capitol Hill so it sounds like the preamble ("We the People"), cute. Right? Pizza was pretty good. Mine was bit dry because it seemed like it was seating under a heat lamp for a while.

Then we went to Good Stuff for some milkshakes. The male cashier was really snippy. Goes in with my philosophy: Don't like your job, quit!  End of rant. But don't like your job, that's fine. But don't take out your bad attitude on everyone else. 

 Garden shots. I have a bunch more, but why overwhelm you?

Nike Women 1/2: Race Day

Race day finally came! After months of "preparation". Hehehe. Anyhoo, I ran the race. God was with me. It was so hard though. At one point I got really tired. So I prayed. God gave me the strength I needed. The stocks just pounded from the pavement to my legs, the pain was unbearable but I finished. During the race I curse myself. I thought, that I would never run the race ever ever ever, again. Thirty minutes after the race I was in pure bliss. I set a goal and accomplished it. That being said, I would run the race again in a heart beat. I wish I could run with my little sister though, I bet she would like it. Thank you God for the strength. Here's are some photos from the event. 

Me & My friend: Tryin' to get our cute on before the race. Notice how large our smiles are.

Here's the sign I made my friend: 

Had to get tatted for something like this: Please note, these are real!!!! (Hehehe) 

Here's a video of the event. Sorry that the last video was kind of blurry, I wanted to try something different. Won't be trying that again.

Nike Women Half Marathon: Preview Day

Race day came and went. But let me take a moment to spill the details on my adventures. Day 1 (Friday) was preview day of what was to come. We went to this tent/booth to pick up our registration packets (the green bag). While there we grabbed tons of goodies/freebies from the race sponsors. I had a total blast. I also got closer to my friend, (as seen in the photos). I would run a race with my friends again. I think its something I would plan to do. We went through the tents and explored, sampled, and tried to calm pre-race jitters. I'm so blessed. 

Here's a video of the Preview day! Enjoy. Sorry, it took me so long to post this. Finals have been brutal.

Relay For Life.

Relay for Life. Our school raised millions of dollars for Relay for Life. The main premise is helping kids celebrate more birthdays. It was a fun event. I made a tied-dyed shirt. The only bad part was a ran 4.5 miles, took a shower, and then my friend asked me to go to Relay for Life. At this point I was tired. But being a faithful friend I obliged and went with her. We walked laps after laps but I got really tired and decided to sit down. Then the had the lighting of the lanterns ceremony.

 It was pretty emotional and sad. But what sucked was this lame, acoustic guitar player. I already don't like acoustic guitar players because I think they're corny. The guy played FIVE slow, sad songs following the lighting ceremony. It was awful. He changed the whole mood. Then he decided he would pick things up by playing the worst renedition of "Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together". T-Swift would be embarrassed.

Georgetown Day.

I celebrated my first Georgetown Day! It was fun. Georgetown Day consist of "day-drinking" in celebration of the last friday of classes. There was food, music, and lawn laying with my friends. I really wanted to go out Friday night but plans were never solidified, like usually so I stayed in and did homework. By the way, the picture above is of my friends. I'm really getting into photography. Props to me!

After, we vogued to a local Chinese restaurant. I love food. I got some chicken and rice. So original. We are just too posh! *giggles*
