Baby Natasha (and Lexi)

I was packing scrapbooking stuff up the other day, and I came across some pictures of when me and Tashi were little. We were so CUTE (If I do say so myself)!!! I haven't ever been seperated from Tashi this long before. Or if I have, it was so long ago that I don't remember it! Enjoy the pics!!!

and last summer...

Week of Youth

Wow! I haven't been posting about my life. Here it goes. Last Tuesday we had seminary at the Nanjos. I went early to hang out with Mana. We watched the first The Work and the Glory. Kousuke came too (after a series of unfortunate events, but he came anyway). The missionaries gave the lesson. Very simple and good. The Foooooooood was yummy too. Oh, and Chiba-kun came haha haha haha!

　

Ashley Tisdale

I went the next day to the Nanjos too, and I watched the 2nd The Work and the Glory: American Zion with Mana. And we talked until Maika and Ribeka came home. Then Mana went to Seminary, and the 3 of us told scary stories. We got so scared that all 3 of us had to go to the door when the mail-man came haha. Dad had to go to High Council meeting late at night, and so I ate dinner and stayed until 10:30! Maika fell asleep before I left because she has early morning seminary. Thank you Nanjos for letting me come 2 days in a row!

Jonas Brothers

Thursday, I went to meet my dad in Tokyo. We ate at Cold Stone Creamery. haha I was like ignoring dad the whole time emailing Yuichiro! Then he took me to McDonalds and I got a hamburger set, and they were having this thing where if you bought a hamburger set, you got a free McFlurry! I was like so happy! I got oreo (why would you choose something else?). We walked around Tokyo, dad went to a quick business meeting, and we went home together on the train. Of all the things that could happen while I was in Tokyo, one of the biggest, busiest cities in the world, my belt that was on my hips fell down to my ankles while I was crossing a sidewalk. I was tripping all over the place and I thought I would die of embarassment!

Friday I was supposed to go to Missha with Mana, but she had to study for a test so we just went to the temple. Masaki, Zun-Tomonori, me, Maika, Mana, Ribeka, Kousuke (his first time), and Yoshuya came. We went to Baskin Robins before, and Mcdonald's afterwards. I got that darned hamburger set again and I thought I would throw up! My tum seriously hurt until I woke up the next morning. We played *Down by the banks* and the Vroom Vroom game, but we changed it to the Zoom Zoom game, and everytime you used the break you had to say, Tom! Haha it was so funny! I got home at almost 11:00 pm, and my dad's friend, Brian Loslow was over. I went to bed immediately. It sounds like lots of people got in trouble for getting home so late. But it was going slow inside the temple. We only hung out for about 30 minutes after the session! My dad didn't care haha

Vanessa Anne Hudgens
I slept in 'til 9 am on Saturday morning. I could have slept more, but I had to be at Kasai ward at 10 am. We had a Kasai-Adachi activity. We went to Coco's and ate lunch. I got a taco salad. 4 YW went in on 2 sundaes, and it ended up that the chocolate one had coffee jelly at the bottom. Yuck! We played wink-killer, mafia, Nandemo-basket, and hide-and-go-seek. Lots of people came, and we had tons of fun! Until it freakishly started to rain. We had to call the Stout bus (my dad) and shuffle them all back to the train station. Oh, and we played the Vroom Vroom game again, but we changed it to Masaki. haha

Zac Efron

So Today I went to church. In Sunday School we had a good lesson on being spiritually blind. And we watched the YW General Broadcast after church, and the Youth Conference talent show video. Now I'm at home and my dad is getting mad at me for being on the computer too long.

Hilary Duff - DiGnItY

I just bought the Hilary Duff's new CD. It's called Dignity. I really like the songs because the lyrics aren't lame-o. My favorite songs are Dignity, With Love, and Gypsy Woman, and Play With Fire. I'll post the lyrics and songs, so you can listen!!! Tell me what you think!!! I'm glad she got out of her annorexic-plastic surgery thingy. She's so pretty now.

Dignity

You go the hottest shoes
You got those Jimmy Choo’s
You never get the blues
It’s always all about you
Wake up late no time to waste
Better check that phone
There’s a club to close

*(Chorus)
Where’s your, where’s your, where’s your dignity?
I think you lost it in the Hollywood hills
Where’s your, where’s your, where’s your dignity?
Can’t buy respect but, you can pick up the bill
Pick it up, pick it up
It’s all you got, it’s all you got
Pick it up, pick it up
‘Cause money makes your world go ’round
Money makes your world go ’round

Always with Mr. Right
But then you have a fight
Run into your friend’s ex
He’s happy to be your next
Tomorrow’s paper’s comin’ out
So kiss him fast
Watch the camera’s flash

* Repeat Chorus

You show up to the opening of an envelope
Why does everybody care about where you go?
It’s not news when you got a new bag
It’s not news when somebody slaps you
It’s not news when you lookin’ your best
C’mon c’mon c’mon give it a rest
Pick it up, pick it up,
So you got it, so you got it,
Pick it up, pick it up
‘Cause money makes your world go round
Money makes your world go round..

With Love

I don’t mind you telling me
What’s been on your mind lately
I don’t mind you speaking up

I know sometimes I can be
All wrapped up and into me
I can be in such a rush

Just slow me down
Slow me down
Tell me tomorrow everything will be around
Just slow me down
Slow me down
You’re the one who keeps me on the ground

*(Chorus)
Baby can you be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love
You can tell me I’m wrong
That I’m coming on way too strong
Don’t think I’ll be crushed
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love

I can take your honesty
All your words weigh heavily
I’m listening to you all the time

I wanna be there for you
The way you’ve been there for me
You always help me walk the line

And slow me down
Slow me down
I know you will always be around

*(Chorus)
Baby can you be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love
You can tell me I’m wrong
That I’m coming on way too strong
Don’t think I’d be crushed
Just do it with love love love love

All this time we finally know each other
Now that I’ve been leaning on your shoulder
I can tell you baby that
You’re right when you’re right
And you’re so wrong when you’re wrong
I can be weak ’cause I know you’ll be strong

Baby can you be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love
You can tell me I’m wrong
That I’m comin’ on way too strong
Don’t think I’d be crushed
Just do it with love love love love

Baby can you be tough
Say enough is enough
You can even be blunt
Just do it with love love love
You can tell me I’m wrong
That I’m comin’ on way too strong
Don’t think I’d be crushed
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love
Just do it with love love love love
Just do it with love
Just do it with love

Gypsy Woman

The battle of France is over
Congratulations you’ve joined the ranks of all the rest

Was it her face that invaded your mind?
The kind that isn’t that hard to find
She lets you think that you found her first
That’s how she works, her sick and twisted gypsy curse

*(Chorus)
She can swallow knives, she can swallow lives
Golden black stare, but the night of your demise
Try to run away with the gypsy woman
Here today then gone for good
Can’t get away with the gypsy woman
Run, no one will know your secret is down below
But you can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, the gypsy woman

This is her favorite game to play
She’s got you stumbling, stum-stu-stumbling
Talks with a grin ’cause she’s got no shame
Enjoy the fame, bringin’ down the family name

*Repeat Chorus

She can rob you blind with just one look from those eyes
How out of all the thieves that trained her, none of them could tame her

Try to run away with the gypsy woman
Here today then gone for good
Can’t get away with the gypsy woman
Run, no one will know your secret’s down below
But you can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, the gypsy woman

But you can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, can’t go with her
Can’t go, the gypsy woman

Tell me was it worth it,
Tell me, tell me was it worth it?

Play With Fire

I can't believe it's really you
Been so long, you look good
I hear you're doing really well
Don't ask me, let me tell you
How I've been since when you left
Since you left me for dead

Finally every tear has dried
I've wiped you from my life

Do you reamember all the times you said you'd call me
'Cause I remember all the reasons people warned me

And now I hear you saying that you still adore me
But if you think I'd ever get with you again

Then you can just
Love me, love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again

Burn to the sky
Higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire

(Burn into the sky)
Love me, love me
(Far into the sky)
If you want me

You never know just what you got
'Til it's gone, you freak out
But I'm not falling for that game
Boys like you never change
You made me feel I wasn't enough
Wasn't enough for your love
But it was insecurity that made you run
It wasn't me

So dont you sit there trying to
Give me more excuses
I don't have time for this
I'm off to play in Houston
And I'm too busy with the millions things I'm doing
You can't make up for what you've done
But you still try to be the one

Love me, love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again
Right to the skyHigher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire

(Burn into the sky)
Love me, love me
(Far into the sky)
If you want me

Ooh, by the way, by the way
I've found someone who gives me space
Keeps me safe
Makes me sane
Found someone to take your place
Now I'm safe in his arms
And I decided only he can play with fire

Love me, Love meFeed the flame
If you want me back again
Right to the skyHigher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire

I can't believe it's really you
(Love me, love me)
I hear you're doing really well
(If you want me)
Finally every tear has dried
(Love me, love me)
Can boys like you, boys like you
Play with fire
