Zometool

Stefan found these old toys we used to play with all the time when we were younger. They're these building toys based on geometrical shapes in natures, and the relationships of the numbers 2,3, and 5 in space. I think it's quite fascinating.
It all starts out with this little ball with a rectangular, triangular, and pentegonal shapes in it, and you can fit the rods in perfectly:)
I was playing around and made this fun little structure.


Stefan made this one:)

I think it beats reading...

blah, blah, blah

Life is good. I'm attempting to fulfill my promise of posting once a week. Not much is going on in life except school and training, the typical Pappas life;)

My competition season just started. my first meet was last Saturday(1/06/07). I did pretty well for my first level 8 comp. I think I kicked the season off to a great start.

Bars- 9.025:) 4th I like to swing
Beam- 8.0 I fell, but I had all my requirements
Floor- 7.9 I'm still working on my routine. it wasn't very sharp:|
Vault- 8.275 I had a 9.0 start value so it's ok:) 5th
AA- 33.2 6th

I'd post pictures but they aren't very good cause the light was bad. there were none of me performing anyway.

I'll post again when I can think of something interesting.

Sushiya

We went for sushi...

...At Sushiya
This was the night before Laurel and Chad left to go study and do stuff they like to do in Merryland
Laurel eating stringy radishes;)
The tea tasted funny at first, but when papa told me it was Black Rice tea, I liked it. I don't know why.
There was this really funny Japanese guy that I assumed was the Owner, who walked around and made jokes at the tables, and told you what you were eating(which generally I did not want to know). He liked Stefan's muscles. He took this pic.

Acacia and stefan playing around with chopsticks
Papa, Acacia
Chad Eating stringy radishes
On the wall of the restaurant there were random pictures of people and things. this particular one caught my attention. I think she's really pretty:)
I like this picture cause Cacia's hyper, and someone caught papa smiling;)

anyway... Now Chaurel's gone and I miss them, but they're happy where they are and I'm happy for them.

Acacia's kinda sick, so prayers are needed:(

and... I ate squid

Happy 2007

I want to wish everyone a blessed new year. Fresh start...

I hope you will all count your blessings and live life full:)

This is the step I take
This is the breath I make
This is the life I live
This is what I give
The past is gone,
The future awaits
For what is destined
At life's gates.
Be Ready for what
Life allows
This is how I live
I live for now.

Happy New Year


ps- I'm making it a new year's resolution to blog at least once a week:)
