CCHS Homecoming Game: CCHS Vs. Oakridge High School

Cypress Creek defeated Oakridge High School at our homecoming game (10-9-09) with a final score of 14-13; Cypress Creek now has a win/loss record of 4-2. Here are a couple pictures from the game, Homecoming parade, and Homecoming Queen and King ceremony.

President Obama and Hilary Clinton

Say Hello to The President of the United States.

Dodge Challenger. There was some sort of muscle car show during the parade.

In my opinion, the challenger was the best.

Spirit Week at Cypress Creek - Whacky Day

So today was "Whacky Day" at Cypress Creek and I got to say, there were some crazy outfits. From people who had underwear on the outside of their pants to one gorilla chasing 12 people in banana costume, some people went all out. Here are some pictures.

***I know the pictures are in focus. I had some issues with my focusing on my lense which I think I fixed but for these pictures, let's just say the focus won't be all that sharp***

And this is where you will start to see the focusing difficulties.

And of course a couple jumping pictures.

So this is the gorilla I talked about earlier who chased the bananas.

The gorilla was quite popular

The girl on the left is actually a guy in case you haven't noticed already.

So that's it for now. Tomorrow is "Spirit Day" so I’m excited to see just how much spirit everyone can show. Tomorrow is also our homecoming game against Oakridge High School and Saturday is our Homecoming Dance. For those going to the homecoming dance, glow sticks will be on sale at the door for the dance so be sure to bring some $$$! Pictures from tomorrow's spirit day and game will hopefully be up this weekend.

Spirit Week at Cypress Creek

From October 5-9, Cypress Creek High school is having spirit week. So far we've had Super-hero day, Celebrity day, and Twin day. Here a couple pictures from Celebrity day.

 so back near the all the art class rooms, there's this mural and I figured that it would be a nice place to take some pictures of the "celebrities." Here's a simple pose and smile.

And now, they are acting out their celebrities. From left to right, Alvin and the Chipmunks (blue and red), Rachel Bilson, Lil' Wayne, Vanessa Hudgens, Kim Kardashian, Hannah Montana, Alicia Keys, Juno and Bleeker, and Forest Gump.

And of course, one goofy shot.

So from here on, I took the liberty of putting the student's pictures next to some of the celebrity's pictures. You can now see just how much they look alike; some a lot, some a little.

 Kim Kardashian

Alicia Keys

Alvin and the Chipmunks (minus one)

Forest Gump

 Hannah Montana

Juno and Bleeker

Vanessa Hudgens

Lil' Wayne

Rachel Bilson

So those are the celebrity look-alikes I was able to take pictures of. Overall, a lot of people dressed up. There were all sorts of celebrities such as the nine listed above along with Michael Jackson, Amy Whinehouse, The Power Puff Girls, Selena Gomez, Rihanna and Chris Brown, Kat Von D, etc. The point of Spirit Week is obviously to raise up spirit for Cypress Creek's Homecoming week and game. This Friday, we play Oakridge High School. Surprisingly, CCHS hasn't been doing that bad in football this year. As of last week, CCHS Varsity football team is 3-2. Tomorrow is "Whacky Day" so I’m excited to see what people can come up with.

Matt's Adventure Part II

Starting October 3, 2009, our Harvest Youth Friday Night Fellowship is now on Saturdays. So to kick-off the date change, we planned to have another bonfire at Matt's house. Here are some pictures.

For food, we cooked hotdogs, potatoes, chili, and smores. Mrs. Liza was generous enough to cook us some homemade chili so we could have chili dogs. They were AWESOME!!!!

So after eating the wonderful food, we tried to hang out outside but there just too many mosquitos so we quickly cleaned up and migrated inside. Inside, a couple youth members decided to make up some kind of Jenga competition.

Yeaseong Han and John "Punchy" Kim tried playing this game but eventually got bored; they decided to make a bunny.

Over all, it was a fun night. It was a perfect way to start off the new time and a perfect time for fellowship and bonding. The food was awesome, the campfire was nice and warm, and everything went as planned. It was definitely a blessed night.

Sunrises, Sunsets, and Other Stuff

So it's been quite some time since I updated my blog and I've realized that I don't get as many opportunities to take pictures as I used to over summer. My photo teacher has been pushing me and pushing me to take more pictures so I ATTEMPTED to take some picture over the past two weeks. I haven't taken THAT many pictures but it'll suffice. Hope you guys like it.

 

This is a friend of mine, Jazmine Quintana, who is taking Photography I this year. Despite all the boring book work, she's really excited for this course.

So I had finished homework and I wanted to try something new. I basically went in front of my camera, turned off all the lights, and used the LCD screen of my phone to try and write my name. It didn't quite come out as clear as I wanted but you get the point. ( 6", f/3.5, ISO 3200)

     So that's it. For now, I'm focusing more on my education rather then my photography. Our Harvest Youth has a campfire this saturday so hopefully I can get some cool pictures from there (email me for info about the campfire). My next photography assignment for photo class is based on capturing candid moments of my friends so we'll see what I can come up with.

***Prayer requests***

     The main, urgent prayer request on my heart is for this girl named Bree McMahon. Now I don't even know her but her situation is what urges me to pray for her every night. Bree McMahon is a student at Freedom High School and on Saturday, September 26, 2009, Bree was involved in an accident at a school carwash. Bree was pinned between a car and wall and since then has gone under multiple surgeries. As of last night, doctors had to amputate her left leg but were able to keep blood flowing to her right leg. She has been in a medical induced coma since Saturday but I believe doctors are taking her out of the coma today.

     From what I've heard, Bree was an athletic, popular, sweet girl at school who everyone liked. Ever since the accident, I have seen MULTIPLE facebook statuses asking for prayer apon Bree; so let's do that. Let's pray that God would bring her healing and that Bree would understand the reason why God did this. We don't understand why God does the things he does but a part of being a Christian is faith and trusting in everything God does. Let's really pray for Bree and her family that they may put full trust in Christ and that Bree would find her source of strength in Christ. Let's...

Pray

Until
