Lacey Lately

Ugh... I've been so exhausted! My sophomore year of high school has been so crazy with all the homework I've been getting. And I think my hard work is finally paying off. Today in History Class, I found out I have a B! In Painting, I have an A... I'm actually good at Geometry (so far) and I'm not too sure about my other classes but I think I'm doing pretty well! I've been working on turning in assignments on time since I had a bit a problem with that last year....

I've also been playing a lot of Dragon Quest recently... It gets addicting after a while! I love adventure games. But then I hate when I get stuck on one part and I have to do loads of reading through walkthroughs...

I've been doing very well. My school work has put a pause on my drawing, but I'm almost done with my latest piece! ALL. MOST. I've been taking my time on my work and I want to put as much detail as I possibly can...

Anyways... That's pretty much it. :)

My Transplant Birthday

Last Tuesday was the 15th anniversary of the bone marrow transplant I had when I was only 9 months old. I was a very sick baby, always in the hospital. Because of the fact that this event nearly ended my life, every October 16th we celebrate the anniversary almost as if it were a birthday. Actually, we call it a "Transplant Birthday".

So for my Transplant Birthday this year, we went to Disneyland's California Adventure! Since I grew up with mostly Pixar films rather than the ones with fairy tales and princesses, I had a great time re-living my childhood. I went on so many rides, ate awesome food, and especially had so much fun with my mommy! Ugh... What shall I start with first?! I did so much....

Hm... I guess I'll start with the beginning. After the long trip to Anaheim, we got into the park and just started to walk around looking for the stuff we didn't get to do last time since everything was under construction. Now there was so many things to do! Now there was Cars Land, the Muppet 4D Theater, and we got there early enough to see the parade! I've been hearing about it for a long time so I was really excited!

When we were walking around, we went in this museum-ish place which had the puppets for Tim Burton's new movie Frankenweenie and they also had this really awesome thing where it had all the Toy Story characters in this little room with windows and strobe lights. When you push the button, it spins fast enough to make all the characters come to life!

Right as we left, the parade started. We rushed to sit down and of course my mom took lots of photos! Sure I may look rather dorky in some, but hey! I was having fun. The parade was amazing. All my childhood favorites were smiling and waving and I was oohing and ahhing at everything!

I also went on the Monster's Inc ride and it has become one of my favorite ones there. I was obsessed with it when I was little and if I went on it then, I'd probably think that everything was real! On the “taxi", we went through the city of Monsteropolis to watch the story unfold. Every scene was perfectly detailed with the decorations, special effects and life sized figures of the characters. At the end, the CDA 'decontaminated' us and then the taxi stopped. To my surprise, Roz SPOKE to me! "Hey you, in the second row. Nice hair..." I shrieked with joy as she said, "Just kidding."!

Next, we got to see a sneak peek of Frankenweenie in the Muppet 4D Theater! Complete with thunder, lightening and even a little rain! Although it was only about 15 minutes long, it was so good it almost made me cry. If something were to happen to Pu-Pu (my cat. Don't judge his name! >__<) I would be very upset...

We got some rides then finally went to Cars Land which looked soooooo amaaaaaazing!!! It all looked EXACTLY like Radiator Springs! It was so insane!! But the fact that people were all over the road and not cars... kinda messed with my mind, hahaha! I got a chance to wait a long, tiring hour standing in line for the racer ride there. And it was definitely worth the wait! It felt like I was really in a speeding car! The whole ride looked stunning inside and out... It was just so perfect!

My mommy got me two wonderful presents afterwards which were a Sulley plushie and a Lots O' Huggin' bear! She was a bit concerned on to if I was "too old" for them, but truth to be told, I don't think I'm ever gonna grow up! And plus, they're so cuddly! My cat loves them too.

Before we left, we saw the World Of Color show. It was so beautiful that me and my mom had tears in our eyes! Then we went to Downtown Disney which was a tad overwhelming with all the lights. (In a good way. It was so rad.) We were trying to look for a place to eat, but everything was so hard NOT to look at! Eventually we chose a restaurant, Rainforest Café, which was decorated like a rainforest, of course! It even had "thunderstorms" every thirty minutes! I got an amazing burger that was big, but since I was STARVING, I nearly demolished the whole thing!

Overall, I had the best Transplant Birthday ever. I had an amazing day, but I would like to dedicate this post to our friend, Sharon, who has Leukemia. When I had my bone marrow transplant, there was another little girl who was going through the same thing but very sadly, didn't make it... Her mother (Sharon) now has to go through the same thing. Please pray for her. We care about her and love her very much and we don't want anything to happen to her. For more information on Sharon, please visit her website and/or Blog: www.monarch401.com or www.monarch401.blogspot.com . If you have any friends who live in Philadelphia who can possibly benefit her in any way please spread the word.

Thank you so much for your time.

LUX DE VILLE REVIEW!!!

LUX DE VILLE REVIEW!!!






The other day, I got a little coin purse that just so happened to be Lux-De-Ville, and I thought I’d do a little review on it! I know that it may seem a bit soon for a review since I’ve only had this product for a day or two, but from knowing how long my mother has kept her (Lux-De-Ville) wallet and how great in condition it is, I know how great their stuff is!
Lux-De-Ville’s purses, wallets and so on are not only great in beauty, but they are high quality and they last for… Forever! I mean you can get your bag run over by a train and it’d still be in perfect shape! I love how they look like cars… And it almost seems like the purses are made out of the same thing as the seats of a vintage car! 
I love their stuff and I hope to someday own something else of theirs someday… They’re amazing…

Manic Panic and Me


The best hair dye I have ever used HAS to be Manic Panic. There was one time, about a year ago, that I tried out a dye that someone said was "better", but it damaged my hair so badly that I'm still recovering from it! MP doesn't do that and that's part of the reason why I'm so loyal to the product. Along with the actual dye, it has conditioner as well so it won't damage your hair as much.

Another reason why I love it is because of the color. Atomic Turquoise is just so unique... When I first dyed my hair blue, we (me and my mom) were trying to find a good shade of blue to put in my hair. Again, the other dyes didn't work out for some reason since the colors merged into others... But when we tried out MP for the first time, it was one nice solid color. Great shade of blue as well as very bright and vivid.

There is one myth out Manic Panic that I don't agree with: "It fades out too quickly". Whenever someone tells me this, I often get confused. The color lasts at least two or three months before I have to dye it over again. (Plus, I wash and hairspray in my hair!)

Ah... That reminds me... I have to dye my hair soon!

Meeting Jeff Ross

I met him, rather randomly, at a festival in Hollywood. To tell the truth, I was a bit scared to ask for a photo since 'roasting' was the majority of his comedy. I didn't want to be roasted, but then I gave in and asked him.

And surprisingly, he was so so nice and down to earth! We told him about Comedy Camp (of course) and he seemed to be very supportive about that. It makes me very happy...
