For me #22 is off "be more religious"

I would like to consider myself religious now. I'm not saying I'm a strict nun or anything, but I have a progressing relationship with the God I believe in and I couldn't be any happier. I have a new found knowledge of things I didn't have before, and it really is something spiritual. I have faith now, I have a reason to be hopeful now.

Experience weightlessness! next week

Next week, Vania and I(Tiffany)
well get "experience weightlessness" off our list.
Also watch the sunrise. Which is not hard I know, But from where we liveits hard to watch a picture perfect sunrise.
So next week we are going to Virginia beach to see a beautiful sunrise offf the shore, and go to an indoor skydiving place to have fun.
So exciting.

Met a celebrity! was an extra in a film

So while on a trip to new york
Alexa and I (Tiffany) bumped into a filming location right smack in the middle of crowded time square.
We saw big cameras, and lights and many people with authority screaming to back off.
Being young, and wanting to see a famous face, we stuck around standing.
Suddenly we saw two limos pull on the curb, walks out Joel McHale from the soup and Kevin Pollak. So knowing being and extra in a film was on (but oddly wasn't on this list on our blog)
we jumped in. With about 10 paid actors to look like casual toursit. WE jumped in behind them and started filming. We did about 5 taked of the same one scene. Still a great expreience. The scene was the last scene in a movie called "the big year" coming out in 2011.. with steve martin, jack black, and a whole bunch of famous people. So with luck maybe a fragment of our face will be on the big screen.

#131 Stay up for 3 days straight

Okay
So yeah, people might get a little cranky when they don't get there 8 hrs..
well.. were trying to stay up for a whopping 72 hrs.. or attempt to.
Were going to post the video of our journey, and you can see us morph into sleepy zombies.
be back in 72hrs

let the good times roll

 
Nothing like a good old potato sack race.

 
Summer is almost here! Schools almost over!
So glad that the need to wake up at 5:45am is over.
Ready for sunburns and a carefree mind.
Since schools about over, there is alot of time (3 months)
And we plan to accomplish as mch as we can, like hot air balloning, ect.

Everyone has a good thing to remember about summer,
Whats your favorite memory?

You know those songs that make you feel good?...

check this out :]

Life: Sarojini Naidu

CHILDREN, ye have not lived, to you it seems
Life is a lovely stalactite of dreams,
Or carnival of careless joys that leap
About your hearts like billows on the deep
In flames of amber and of amethyst.


Children, ye have not lived, ye but exist
Till some resistless hour shall rise and move
Your hearts to wake and hunger after love,
And thirst with passionate longing for the things
That burn your brows with blood-red sufferings.


Till ye have battled with great grief and fears,
And borne the conflict of dream-shattering years,
Wounded with fierce desire and worn with strife,
Children, ye have not lived: for this is life.

no reason

There always is that person (gym class, school, work ect0
Who just literally complains about EVERYTHING
before he or she does something a story a.k.a EXCUSE comes up.

Really there is no reason for a person to quite at something or not give there all.

Because there are people out there with serious hardcore health problems, who go out to reach the peaks of mountains.
They have a really good reason to just stop, but they don't quite at living.
Then there are the people with a healthy heart, two arms, two legs, and a perfectly sane mind, but don't do anything.

They dont have an excuse.

So there is without a doubt no reason to complain. Wake up in the morning and be grateful for what you have. Grateful that your still alive and capable of living a happy life.

Also here are some inspiring sites you should look at

Sorry, it's been awhile.

Cake News..again

Here is the long awaited picture of the cake Tiff and I made last week...enjoy.

rob a bank? not on our list

This is not related to us at all, but what we & the woman pictured have in common is a bucket list. Apparently, 51 year old Patrica Edwards last week, tried to rob a Florida bank, saying this was on her bucket list and something she always wanted to do. She said " I think everyone should have a list of things to do before they expire" Though I agree with what she said, robbing a bank would be cool,its definitely unorthodox. So fyi when making a list, make sure you won't go to jail for it.

#86 Be in a huge protest

WE understand not everyone feels this way.
This is how we feel about the situation, and this is the way I was brought up.
If you feel otherwise about this, feel free to comment,
& if by the time you read this, healthcare is passed.. O well then.. we tried.

#123

This was very fun, and frustrating. Keep in mind that none of us our pros, and now do not want to go into the bakery business. Thanks to the people that let us borrow the big pans. And for lindsey who couldnt be there. NOTE: there are 6 layers in that cake, just doesnt look like it, and the fondant made making this cake the hardest.

There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you do not do them.

Who hasn't heard someone say "You gotta live life to the fullest"
I've heard it about 1,000x, agreed with them, but never tried to actually put the phrase in action.
Well the thing is you actually gotta try to put the phrase in action, personal opinion, its right beside the golden rule.
So what the hell does it mean anyway!?
Peoples might have diffrent says in it.
overall it means take complete advantage of the world while your still alive ( no brainer right )
So instead of sitting on your butt all day, go for a walk, enjoy the air.
Volunteer, help, travel, be apart of something that can have an impact.
It could be yourself or for others, but don't stop.
Someone tells you "that sounds like a good idea.. but can you really do it?" or "wow.. thats crazy"
You say to them "so what, im going to do it anyway" or try (unless its actually like legit crazy like jump off something without a parachute )

So after reading this... go do something.
Attack life.. its gunna kill you anyway.

BACK ON TRACK

Insomniacs Anonymous.

What's there to do when you are bored and can't find anything to do between 12am-6am...well nothing ofcourse but browse the internet! While online, I learned how to say "I love you" in Korean, (Saranghae)^^* <-- Asian smiley face of some sort?? haha and also i found a website called Asians-United.com where you can chat online with other Asians! Sounds like huge loads of fun right?! I was productive, too though. I looked up places where we could volunteer and found nothing. Please help. Thanks. Bye.

-Vania 0.o
p.s. it is now 5:55 and i have officially been up for 24 hours :0

 

Training..intensely

Today Tiffany and I ran a hefty 3 miles and it felt like 10. We must be in horrible shape but we wont give up till we have crossed that finish line for the 10k marathon. if you haven't read today's motivational poem you should! Today, make a note in the back of your head to walk a little farther, or take the stairs versus the elevator, or park the farthest from your destination. The smallest improvements in your life could help you become more active. Put down the video games and remote controls and play outside with your family or friends for a change. Enjoy the fresh air while it's still clean. Have a great & healthy day :)

The Victor by: C.W. Longenecker

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

The wanting? By Paul V. Stringer

PRESSED in the moment

A past

A future?

We got someone to allow us to bake, but not in the actual bakery though :-(
BUT, they are giving us the things we need which are the huge pans ect..

quick update

#123 Bake a 6 layer cake ( for CHARITY!)

This sounds easy but it might be a little complicated as well. So far we've called a few bakeries. We had the idea to sell the cake and send the money for earthquake reliefs in Haiti and Chile. These people really need help so please donate your time, money, items, effort, or anything to try to rebuild these countries! If you can figure out a way to also help us cross #123 off, please inform us!!
THANKS!
We will keep you updated.

p.s the random picture is for someone who requested it

10k=6miles!! lets do it.

Ukrops 10k, is well a big marathon. About 35,000 people are apart of it. Thats a TON of athletic runners ( which I am not )
Vania and I(Tiffany) are going to scratch 'run in a marathon' of the list. It's not that hard to do... I hope.
But the $35 we are paying to murder ourselves goes to a good cause.
Its on March 27

#72 learn to juggle

One of the easiest things we ever done was to learn to juggle, NOT! It took three days for us to learn but hey at least we're doing it, even if people end up calling us circus freaks. 3 limones (that's lemons in Spanish for all you geniuses out there)were the perfect thing to start with but if you have any other firm round object that won't hurt too bad when it pummels you in the face, then that will work, too. After finding out that we had been juggling two balls incorrectly, we youtubed (yes, i indeed turned to youtube for this lesson ) to learn the art of juggling. The video was the guide that we followed, Finally after giving up 3x, throwing limones in the air for countless hours, we got the hang of it. Now we can't stop showing off our AWESOME SKILLZ.

#31 on the list was succsesful, we redressed 5 manniquins in a store. Alexa and I did this, very stealthy, and took exstream procaution of making sure nobody saw us. Due to the magnetic arms, removing and placing new clothes were very easy. Making the life size dolls look ridiculous was our goal. Thankfully the employees of the store were completly unaware of our actions the whole time, our mission was a piece of delicious cake.

Juggling?

Okay
So, now I fully respect anyone who juggles for a living.
Learning how to juggle takes
1. A ton of PATIENCE ( this is hard to have when you drop it 100x )
2. 3 balls, but we used limes and lemons, which are now bruised.

With these two things in mind, also keep in mind the frustration.

Alexa & me still yet to learn how to juggle. We will learn though.
So if anyone has any tips to make it easier please comment
Thanks

The Facts

Hi, my name's Tiffany and I'm a 15 year old freshman at James River High, my best friend Alexa and I decided to do something one day. We didn't really have an idea, but we sat, and looked at the floor, and tried to figure out what to do. Then, the image of my grandmother crossed my mind, she had recently passed. The idea of death occurred to me, the thought of life in general surpassed me. I looked up at Alexa, and said " Alexa were going to die."
She replies, "Yes, were dying by the second."
I said, "Yeah, then why are we just sitting?"
Then the catalyst occurred, we decided to do more than what we were. Though we are very young, we weren't sure when we would die, and didn't want to go having done nothing.
Because who knows what tomorrow brings.
So, we made a huge list of goals, and ambitions, and adopted the mentality of not caring what people think, it's what we think. Now we are starting a project of helping out our community, and helping ourselves to completing or dreams, and things we have always wanted to do. So this is our blog, about us completing what we want, and living our lives.
