~3rd Day of… Oops! It’s Outdoor Day!! Yeah!!~
12th of January, ‘07
Today we woke up and we got into our beautiful costumes! What a great start to a fun day! We pampered ourselves to look beautiful. Then, we went to meet the officials from the U.S Department who sponsored us. We had quite a great time there and we each got the YES pin and took lots of pictures of our costumes. After the meeting, we rushed to our rooms to change for our trip to Washington D.C !! I felt great and I was back to my normal energetic self! We saw the White House, the Pentagon, the Monument which is a tall straight block. We went to a mall to eat. It was great because everything was free! The food and deserts. I had a corn dog and ice-cream. We went up to the clock tower to view the whole Washington D.C. I was in a bad time, my camera’s battery went dead! Jeez, no more picture snapping for me. =P. So sad, anyways, I had a fantastic time and we went back feeling satisfied. Before that, we went to another mall to learn how to shop with $10 and budgeting. When I went back, I took a shower and went room hopping. We played Truth or Dare which was not really fun for me. But we stayed up THE WHOLE NIGHT! I didn’t even sleep a wink! We said goodbyes to Lisa and Arthi who left at 3:00 am. I cried because Lisa would be going. It was a sad moment. Then, we went back to Truth or Dare and waited until everyone had to leave too. I said my goodbyes barefooted outside. It was freezing cold!! Especially my feet. They were all so nice to me. I’d miss them terribly much. How I wish we could be together for this 6 months=(. Anyway, I went to my room to wait for our turn to leave. Trisha and I had a wonderful chat in the room. We shared lots of things together and it was nice. Then, we went down to eat breakfast, which was kinda lonely for us coz everyone’s gone. Then, we went to the Recreation Room for a while and I slept for a little while. When it was time, we went back and took our luggages down. Today is the 13th of January, ‘07 anyway. When I brought my luggage down, my foster family was already down there waiting!! We hugged each other and it was a happy meeting! I’m glad that it started well. We talked a lot in the car and we went to my mom’s sister’s place and met Phillip, Nathaneal, and their parents. Then, we reached our home which was beautiful. My mom loves decorating and my room is wonderful with bright colors! I unpacked my bags and ate dinner. Then, I watched the movie, Sleepover. It was a nice ending to a nice day. I slept really well and I wanna thank God for everything. Thanks Papa^^ Muax
