170 Grass Cuts But #YOLO

So yesterday, I went to a pool party with my church mates at the Whitehead's house (yeah, funny last name) and most of them went swimming but some of us didn't. (It was just too small of a pool to hold 22 people and the rock slide took most of the space) and so Nano, Celeste and I didn't swim but we were observing the people and out of our boredom, we made a game. There is this weird kid named Brandon and we made it a game where we were to count how many times Brandon slides or jumps off the rock slide. We were happy that it happened 20 times. When it got to 30, we were excited and Celeste went to roam around the house and found a grass hill. She came back to Nano and I and said, "If Brandon makes 40 by 8:35PM, let's roll down the grass hill!" and since we were bored, we decided to do it because #YOLO, I guess. We were slowly watching him and he made it to 40! Nano, Celeste and I jumped for joy and ran to the hill. It was Celeste, Me and Nano and then we counted to three and rolled down the hill! (LOL) Then the order it ended up was Me, Celeste and Nano. HAHAHAHA. We ran back up the hill and we realized how itchy we were and I realized I lost a footsie sock. Then we made another goal... If Brandon could make it to 50 by 9:00PM, we'll roll down again. He was slowing down but we were sure he'd make it and he kind of teased us because he would seem like he was going to go but he just sat there... (Mind you, he didn't even know we were doing this) this game turned into the most intense game we've ever made! It was like watching soccer during the World Cup. BUT, Brandon finally jumped the 50 with three minutes to spare! LOL. We jumped for joy and went back to the hill and we were in our normal formation and rolled down the hill. I think I rolled too far because I almost hit the tree and Celeste ended up rolling onto the sidewalk. HAHAHAHAHA! And then we went back up and we were even more itchy... It's not that we were allergic to grass but we realized that the long grass cut us.

Grass is different here in the States. If you don't mow your lawn/yard/backyard, the grass can get sharp. And this was healthy, long grass. But when you roll on it, it's not good. HAHA. And for the rest of the night, I felt like my grass cuts are everywhere and it was itchy. Grass cuts are like paper cuts! No joke. And then when I went home, I put a little bit of ointment to make it heal faster but I could feel it every time I move. And today while I was out all day, the sun didn't make it any better because it made me sweat and when sweat would run down my body and onto my cuts, it felt like lemon being squeezed on them!

When I went to the Mexican restaurant, I saw all my cuts and I counted them all. 170 grass cuts all over my body! sld;k fklsdj;lfkjsl;djfkdkhfoiwer.

But... You know... #YOLO. It was a good night with Celeste and Nano.

PS: Don't wear short-shorts and a t-shirt when rolling down a grass hill.

Band Sesh and Gigs.

Today was an eventful day. Actually, right now it's 249am. Let me recap it for you!

I was home all day, watching my Korean shows and eating while the Bishop and Mrs. Davis get ready to spent the night over at the Los Angeles Temple. And then I was reminded that today was Allen and Peter's gig at the Flour Fusion cafe! So we arrived in Lake Elsinore by 7pm and luckily, it hasn't started so we got to see Allen perform! <3

I made a 10-minute video of him. SHHHHH. <3 And then I got to hear other songs from other friends/artists that Allen and Peter are friends with. Also, I got to meet this new artist "Leandra Graves" (Turtle, I really think you're going to like her... So Google her and give her a listen) and I bought her $5 and the money goes to a fund for her new guitar. Whatevs but she's really good... The only thing about her that I didn't like was that she kept moving around the stage a lot and it annoyed me.

After the whole gig was over at about 10pm, Glenn, Joe and I headed back to Riverside and we called up Scott to see if he was up for a band sesh (Rock Band) and we told him to meet us up at the RCC Institute*.

* The RCC (Riverside Community College) Institute is where LDS/Mormon RCC students (and visitors are welcome too) to go to study during classes or want to study more about the church and that's why we hold Institute classes... It's almost like Bible study. But it's closed during the summer and it'll reopen when the fall semester opens up.

Since the Institute building is closed for the summer, no one comes HOWEVER, since Joe knows the passcode, we're allowed in and we used that space for a Rock Band sesh. <3

Five hours of Rock Band was good for our soul.

Now, I'm home, 5 minutes before 3am and I have a DEP CC at 9am. Haha.

Today was a good day.

One More Reason To Love Elders.

This was taken from an Elder in the New Zealand Mission. An Elder helped a mother duck get her little ducklings out of a storm drain... The most cute thing I've ever seen so far <3

Dodgers vs. Mets

So yesterday, it was "Mormon Night" at the Dodgers Stadium (baseball team) because Elder Urchdorf was throwing the first pitch and most of the people that came to the game were Mormon. LOL. And we took up all the good seats (aka the all-you-can-eat section) and I went with everyone from my church and I arrived with Glenn. We got seven hotdogs, three nacho plates and four Cokes. HAHA. The game wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be but it was definitely better than the Mariners vs. Angels game that I saw when I was still living in Seattle. I mean, seriously? Dodgers - 0 Mets - 9? LAME. But it was still good because we got to eat all we can eat. Also, I taught Glenn the ways of Korea. HAHAHAHA. And a bunch of K-Pop that almost made his head explode. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Now, later today, I'm going to go see my old friend John (who's my friend from Japan and was my best friend in kindergarten) and his family. They are coming from Las Vegas so they have to pass by here before they head to San Diego (where they live) so we're going to have dinner or something like that and it's going to be awesome. :)

Good day,
Otter

YeRin: Dad, Really, Like.

LOL, I WANT A CHILD LIKE THIS.

LULZ for the day.

LOLOLOLOLOL. My new reference.

P90X is "Power 90 Extreme" home work out and it's suppose to be 90-days straight, intense and extreme work outs and... Well, now that you know that. You may laugh at the picture now. XD

Oh Hello, Summer. You're Here?

I think I should retire my moccasins. HAHA! I think this means I need to invest my money on some slippers.

LOLOLOL,
Otter

DG and Dex.

DG left for Utah without telling me. How did I find out? Via Facebook/Instagram shizz. He did a solo road trip out to Utah. WOW, THANKS FOR NOT TELLING ME YOU JERKFACE. I'm a little upset because we were suppose to have lunch before he left and he was suppose to give me my shoes back. :( but he left suddenly because he got two job interviews at a hotel and Wells Fargo. And since he's going to school there in September in BYU, he might as well leave now? Plus, he said he didn't feel like he "belong" in California but, whatevs. I'm a little upset but I'll see him again eventually.

Yesterday none of my June Bug BMT buddies told me that a Tinychat-ooVoo night was going down and I found out when I got home. And then Rorosa gave me the link to join and I ended up joining and Dex was on it. But I didn't put on my audio or video yet because I was trying to set it up, plus I kind of wanted to be a creeper for a bit. So, I just joined the chat and instead of using my name, I used my username (the one I use for everything) and then I heard Dex freak out. He was like, "Otter's on! Otter's on! Or is it someone just f*cking with me? Otter?! OTTER?!" <33333333333333333333333

TEEHEE Dex,
Otter

Rexter FTW.

Dex: Lesbi-honest, are you having feelings for a female?
McArthur: Otter doesn't count.
Dex: Of course not. We have an exclusive relationship.
Gen: If by female, you mean douchewaffle
Dex: Lol
McArthur: Smh

OMG, TEEHEE, OMG  ♡

Giggly,
Otter

PS: Rexter = Dex and Otter

Super Cat Lady.

OMG, I JUST DIED.

It's too addicting and funny... I'm singing along to it now. That's how much I've watched it already.

I just want to all of them,
Otter

Birthday Gift and Giggles.

These are my new gifts that my friend Joe (the one that baptized me) got me for my birthday. He didn't know what I liked so he took me out to Forever 21 and told me to "go crazy". I felt really bad because I knew he didn't have to do it and if you were to ask me to go crazy, I will. -_- but I didn't. We were actually in Forever 21 for three hours because I was going around the store and asking clerks for opinions and such. And every time I saw something suuuuper cute, Joe would be like, "No, sis. No. Don't get that. That's too short/that's too see-through/That's not modest enough/You need something for church/No, boys will stare at you. No, sis. No!" AND THEY WEREN'T THAT BAD. But, it was cute that he was watching over me like that. But I had a fun time, he got to see me wear most of the stuff and it made me happy. I spend $80 and he told me that my budget was $150! Thank god, I didn't go that far! But the funny thing is since it was the Memorial Day weekend, there was a sale for those in the military or family of military. Since I still have my Dependent Military ID card (which expired last year when I turned 21), I still used it and the lady clerk didn't see the expiration date so she still gave it to me. LOL! And our friend, Glenn, was told of where Joe and I were and he said, "You're such a girl." TEEHEE.

Sadly, DG can't come to my birthday but he promised me a date with just us two so I'm figuring out what to wear for that when that day comes. <3

I'll take a picture of all the items when I wear them. :)

OH, OH, OH! I ALOMST FORGOT! PS!!!

On Sunday, when everyone was greeting me for my birthday, Allen (the cute guy that I have a huuuuuuge crush on) came up to me and said "happy birthday" and he HUGGED ME. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, ALLEN HUGGED ME! (fangirl scream)

The end.

Happy,

Otter

But Not Like My Wife.

BMT Husbands/Wives

BMT? Husband? Wives? Yes. Weird, but yes.

Apparently people that are leaving in June (like me) made up this couple pairing for BMT.

Chris Carpe, Taryn Lauer
Val Elizabeth, John Maddy
Jasmine Williams, KJay Davis
Ronell Rosa, Brittany Ritchey
Cody Mattson, Brittney Fabian
Kevin Salsbury, Generra Gonzalez
Otter Pop, Dexter Lopez
Kailin Barbour, JD Trotter
Victoria Vargas, Chris Mike
Matt Leymaster, Christine Johnson

TAADAA! So, I'm BMT-married. The conversations are weird. We'll talk about nutella, to boobs to zombies to heartbreaks to war and all that weird stuff. And it's funny because for a time, Dexter and Chris Mike were fighting over me because the both of them wanted to marry me. Sadly, I'm a one-man person so I stuck with Dexter. My new Hawaiian love. LOLOLOL. But Chris Mike is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

I'll show you when I get back home, Turtle.

But there's a new guy, Brandon Johnson, MMMMMMMMM GUUUUUUUUUUURL, FINE ASS MAN. <3

Anyway, BRB. Gotta teach at the Institute! :)

Woot woot,

Workout Mantra?

Brother Otter: Do you have a workout mantra?
Otter: Man-what?
Brother Otter: Mantra.
Otter: No?
Brother Otter: You should. It'll motivate you.
Otter: Okay. Do you have one?
Brother Otter: Yup!
Otter: What's that?
Brother Otter: It's, "Curls for the girls. Thighs for the guys. Bi's for the bi's. Repeat."
Otter: Oh, geez.

Cute guys, PT and Movies.

OHMYGAWD, TURTLE! IF YOU MOVE TO THE STATES, YOU HAVE TO TELL ME ASAP! BECAUSE THEN I'LL GET THE NEXT FLIGHT TO COME SEE YOU! If I get stationed in New York, you can come and stay with me and we can watch musicals together! And there is a lot of good places that I know in New York that we can do to! AND MAYBE WHEN I HAVE THE TIME, WE CAN DO A ROADTRIP! THERE'S A LOT OF COOL STUFF HERE IN THE UNITED STATES! sa;ljfdjfkdlsjksjdkfj;sdkfds, I feel like a kid in a theme park! BUT YOU MUST TELL ME. And I can visit you during the holidays (if that's okay with your parents) lol. skdjflksdjfjsdlskd, SO COOL! I'm so stoked even though nothing happened yet! LOL!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, I just got back from PT. FREAKIN' SUCKS TODAY. I woke up at 7am and I found out that it's raining like crazy and the wind is just an abomination. So I texted Ssgt. Fears and asked if we still had PT. And she said, "Yes." Like, not even a 'yes' with a smiley. It's a straight up, in your face, with a period, 'yes'. So I go to the office and I find out that it's her replacement. Some girl who got back from her training and Tech School and is now doing her RAP (recruiters assistant program) duty. Sigh.

However, I woke up at 7:20am and I was out of the house, in the car and on my way at 7:30am. I didn't eat anything and I just drank two gulps of water. And then we did our push ups, sit ups and warm ups outside while it was drizzling (it slowed down by the time I reached the office) and then we had to run a mile and a half, but this time, we were timed! And since I wasn't feeling well because I had this stomach ache since yesterday, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to do well but I pressed on! I ran and my time was 18 minutes for a mile and a half. WHICH IS BALLS. I usually can make it in time for the run~ I think I'm starting to become a softy. Sigh, sigh. I need to work on that. I am happy that I can meet the core-strength requirements. It's my running time because I don't want to be recycled in BMT! The last thing you want is to be recycled (pushed back) and stay in basic even longer...

After we were done, we left. And I saw "Chase"...

OH, OH! WHEN WE WERE RUNNING, he was basically on his way back when I wasn't even done with the whole thing, and he said to me, "Are you okay? (smile) You doing alright? (smile)" STOP SHOWING ME YOUR GORGEOUS TEETH, GAWD DANG IT! But I was like, "YEAH, (giggle) I'M FINE! (smile)" (hnnnnng~~~) I bet I looked all awkward. -_- lol.

So when we were done, we were all went to our cars and left. When I was in the car, I felt dizzy and nauseous. I felt like I was going to throw up in the car but I didn't. (thank goodness) but I got home, went to the bathroom, felt better and I checked online that my dizziness and nausea after running/PT is usually because I didn't eat a pre-snack work out and enough water so my body was lacking oxygen. POO. So I ate a snack after and then I'm going to have a PB&J sandwich after I make this blog.

And at 3pm, I have a movie "date" with Elder Preator and Elder Kirk. Mmmm~ Apparently, we're going to watch a Mormon film. Um, I think it's about Joseph Smith. And I have a surprise for them! I'm going to bring some frosted animal cookies and chocolate milk for them. Teehee. Is my affection for the Elders a little too obvious? LOL.

Today can't get any better than a day filled with good-looking men in PT uniforms and suits.

I love today,
Otter

If The Book of Mormon Was Made Into A Movie...

Honestly, to those who haven't even read the Book of Mormon, if they were to see this trailer on their TV screens or as an ad while streaming videos talking about how this is the new upcoming movie... I bet you that you will be in line when it comes out.

There's no doubt about how epic this would be to watch! I actually wish someone would make a movie about the Book of Mormon as epic as this!

And for those who did and is reading the Book of Mormon would agree that the stories in the Book of Mormon are pretty epic and this is as close as it'll get when you imagine the epic-ness that comes with the book! And you know you can't help but smile about it! :)

Personally, Mel Gibson as Nephi... Meh, it doesn't cut it for me but Eric Bana as Mormon?! PERFECT! And Brad Pitt as Captain Moroni (Mormon's son)?! UGH, yes! (Even though I'm not a really a fan of Brad Pitt)

If you're interested in the movie clips that were shown in the video:
___________? (King Benjamin)
Braveheart (Nephi; Mel Gibson)
First Night (Helaman; Richard Gere)
Gladiators (Gidgidoni/Russell Crowe)
Troy (Mormon; Eric Bana. Captain Moroni; Brad Pitt)
Last of the Mohicans (Alma the Younger; Daniel Day Lewis)

Mormon-y,
Otter

FALSE ALARM!!!

So, Won Bin isn't getting married isn't getting married after all...

OMGOMGOMGWTFWTFOMGWTFOMGOMGWTFWTFWTFOMGWTFOMGOMGWTF!!!! How can someone play such a horrible joke on me?! Sigh. Whatev's!

THANK GOD IT'S A JOKE.

I STILL HAVE MY HUSBAND BACK!!!

Happy,

Bible Study-Ish With Indigo.

(Discusses things in the Book of Mormon and in the Bible with Indigo)
Otter: In 2 Nephi, "Stem of Jesse", why is "Jesse" referred to Christ?
Indigo: Remember the house of Israel? What was his name before it changed?
Otter: Isaac?
Indigo: Right. And what were his sons name?
Otter: I forgot...
Indigo: Jesse is the father of David. David being King David, of the house of Judah.
Otter: Oooh. Sigh. Confusing.
Indigo: My advise is just skim over 2 Nephi, because to understand Isaiah, you need to read the Old Testament.
Otter: Sigh, that means I have to read the first half of the Bible.
Indigo: Yes.
Otter: So I'll just go back to it later then?
Indigo: Yes. Even I have a hard time with it.
Otter: I think the Bible was made to read over and over again.
Indigo: Well, it was meant for Jews.
Otter: (laughs out loud until stomach hurts) I don't know why that made me laugh so hard!
Indigo: Me neither. Kinda hurts.
Otter: Yes, I'm hurting right now!
Indigo: Stop it
Otter: I can't!
Indigo: Stop!
Otter: I can't!
Indigo: You must!
Otter: Noooooooooooooooo~!!!
Indigo: Yes!
Otter: Okay. I'm done. :)
Indigo: Gah
Otter: Bah
Indigo: No
Otter: Snow
Indigo: Where
Otter: Somewhere...
Indigo: Over the rainbow?
Otter: If you can get pass the armed unicorns...
Indigo: And the angry mushrooms.
Otter: You can't forget those! They're hardcore. :(
Indigo: But delicious
Otter: I've never had one before.
Indigo: They're very good in hotpot.
Otter: Mmmm, sounds yummy~
Indigo: Oh yes
Otter: Can Jews eat them too?
Indigo: No. None for them.

LOL! How did we get here?!,
Otter

"We Shall Dance!"

(A group of us are in a circle together and talking)
Brother Jensen: Skyler! Come here...
Skyler: (walks to Brother Jensen)
Brother Jensen: There's this lovely girl I'd like you to meet and dance with...
Skyler: (confused)
Brother Jensen: (walks a little further near the kitchen)
Skyler: (still confused)
Brother Jensen: (hands Skyler a mop and bucket to start cleaning the kitchen floor)

Both Skyler and I thought Brother Jensen was serious.

LOL,
