corner view "stranger"

While in Europe this past summer, I noticed all of the people I was around. It was interesting being around kids my age but not being able to communicate with them.

I kept asking my mom if she was positive I wasn't somehow part Italian. She said no. So I told her, "Fine, I'll just marry an Italian." :P

Plus, somehow in Europe, everyone is just so beautiful...

Here are some beautiful strangers

Thanks Francesca for hosting. :)

Summer!! California :)

About a week and a half ago, we had to leave and go on our summer trip. So I said goodbye to my friends and off we went...

So now here we are in California! The first week we were in LA. Little smoggy, little crowded... You can actually see a line of smog over the city.

My two little friends. So CUTE!! :)

Then we headed over to Marin, where I was born. Seeing some old friends, so many memories!

And today was Father's Day, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY!! I LOVE YOU!! :D

Old picture, I know but you get the point ;)

Road Trip

In the last couple weeks we've been on summer vacation. First we went to San Ramon to see Amma and some friends. Then we went to Lake Tahoe.

I was really excited to go and hike, but I got sick with a horrible cough and sore throat. It was bad. I'm still blowing my nose. I was sick the entire four days we were there. On the last day, the day we were leaving, the antibiotics kicked in and I was much better for the four hour road trip to Marin.

In Marin, we saw my old friend Naomi. We've known each other since babyhood.

We also had a reunion of my baby group. Most of the kids I hadn't seen since I was 4 or 5.

Yesterday, we went on a hike at Phoenix Lake.

 The lake...

 Some little steps on the trail

 We had a rock throwing contest. Shawn and I were pretty even.

This was a cute little house by the lake. It looked like something out of the Little House on the Prairie.

 Here's the kids...

This was my favorite picture. It's ragweed. I thought it was pretty. Dad was allergic. :)

My Daddy

I think I have the best dad in the entire world. He always cheers me up because he's funny.
He always makes me feel better because he's kind.
He always teaches me stuff because he's smart.
He's always on my side. He always sticks up for me.
I love him more than anyone in the world. I wouldn't be me without him.

Happy Father's Day Daddy, you couldn't do a better job.
Love you!
Sky

HELLLLOOOOO HAWAII!

I'm BACK! HOME IN MY TROPICAL WONDERLAND! Oh how I've missed it. LA is nice but my home is perfect. I traveled all over the world. From Paris, to Italy, to LA to Gary, Indiana. And there's no other place on Earth I'd rather live than this:

Ask Skylar!

Well, once again, I haven't posted in awhile. I'm sorry! I'll post more often when I get back home. But right now I'm in LA. And yesterday I shot six more episodes of Ask Skylar, my new web show. It's like an advice show for teens! Anyone can send in questions. :)

Reading over the questions before the shoot.

 On set. :)

Irene creates awesome outfits. A talent I just never seemed to have. :P Love her.

Whit helping me with my microphone.  

Beth, Irene, Me Amber

Thanks Guys!

Oh and if you want to see what we make during these sessions, here

is the first episode out now! :) (This one's called Episode Two because technically the first one was just me introducing myself.) :P

LA!!!!!!!

Hi guys!

So sorry I've been a bad blogger person! I was all over the world and sometimes remote Italian towns don't always have good internet.

Anyway, I am now in LA! Oh yeah.

Italy

 Under the Eiffel Tower

 Looking into a CHEESE STORE! Oh how I love Europe.

 Anyway, I hope all you guys had a great summer! I sure did!

Bye House!

Tonight's my last night in my bed for a long time. So, bye house, bye beach, bye palm trees, bye windmills on the mountains, bye Taekwondo, bye bed, bye room, bye piano. I'll see you in five months!

Oh! And by the way, I finally got my red belt last weekend! Here's a new YouTube Video with some Taekwondo in it for you guys to see. :)

P.S. I might be blogging a lot less during the summer. But I'll give you guys updates every once in a while!
