Every Wednesday HSO (hispanic student association) has been volunteering at the local YMCA to play with the kids and to help them with their homework and such. Recently the HBU lions club has been riding shotgun with HSO and has started volunteering as well.

Yesterday the Y had a haloween party that we threw for the kids. We brought vampire teeth, facepaint and cupcakes! I made those cupcakes the night before, and by the end of the haloween party they were gone, so yeah, they were pretty good cupcakes! lol. anyways... We played with the kids and many people got their faces painted. It was a lot of fun, and if you like playing with kids (and you are somewhat fluent in spanish) you should definetly come and join us!!!

On October 12th 2009, the Husky Ambassadors were invited for a dinner presidents house with Mr and Mrs. Sloan! It was a night filled with whimsicalities, formalities, and mountinous taco salad!

The Ambassadors as you may or may not know are the young upstanding guys and gals that give tours to prespective students during the school year. We also help out the admissions counsellors druing the sneak preview weekends when prespectives come and visit our school and stay over a night.

The Sloans we gracious enough to invite us over for dinner, discussion and dessert! (my 3 favorite D's! lol) As Dr. Sloan put it, we were entitled to "build our own mountain" of taco salad! the dinner was a lot of fun, and i learned a lot of fun facts about the Sloans! And Dessert was AMAZING!!! It was muchas fun and i hope to visit there for dinner again!!!

Looking to get ripped? Looking to lose some weight? looking to get those washboard abs you've always wanted? well look no further, I have just the thing for you! I'm not selling any miracle product, what i'm selling is honest to god, good old fashioned hard work and determintation!!!

On Monday and Wednesday's at 7pm in the lakehouse fitness room, Carlos Soto, a student at the university, who is a kineseology and pedigoy major teaches a fitness and toning class!
It. Is. Intense. It's not ure walk in the park, but it is a lot of fun.

Carlos sets the mood right by having the eye of the tiger and other encouraging music playing (90's R&B is often in the mix! lol) and you do the work outs together with carlos and it is a workout!

Monday is usually lower body, and Wednesday is upper body! I know look forward to Carlos' encouraging words of "COME ON" or "Ignore the Pain" on monday and wednesday! I highly recomend this free fitness class!!!

It's that time of year again folks. It's tour season and the Husky Ambassadors are once again called to action! On October 2nd and 3rd we had a pletheroa of highschool students come and tour the campus and stay over night. It was a night filled whimsical fun, karaoke, and comedy sportz!

The night events proceeded with the prespective students checking into their rooms and getting dinner. Then the fun began. Comedy Sportz, and improv comedy group, a regular at HBU came by and made us laugh till we cried!

After Comedy Sportz, to the roof of the lakehouse we went. Where the blue dawg lounge was set up to provide karaoke for the people. It was muchas fun for current and prespective studnets alike.

The next preview is gonna be during the spring semester, so if there are any presepective students who want to get a feel for the HBU campus, definetly sign up for the next preview!

As always, a photo shoot with our very own Husky, Kiza!

Comedy Sprotz! Hilarious as Always!

Lions Club International. The largest international service organization in the world! WIth over 1.3 million members and growing, Lions Club has hit the HBU campus like a fever. A fever, with the only prescription being more cowbell... wait that's not right, the only prescription is more service!!! (forgive my sad attempt at humor)

Anyways, HBULC (Houston Baptist University Lions Club) which is now in its first full year of being a club has just recently been chartered. Meaning we have joined the ranks of thousands of other districts and other Lions as part of one of the greatest service oraganization.

On October 3rd Dignitaries, Lions, and Students gatherd as HBU became part of something much bigger than itself. With the Distcit Governor Chuck Martin, as well as many other dignitaries, HBU was welcomed to the world of lionism.

The theme of the Night was simple... CARPE DIEM!!! or "Sieze the Day" something that may of us forget to do! HOw many times in our lives do we become complacent, and are just content with going along with the flow of our lives. Where in reality there is so much more we can be doing with our lives As lucky as we are, we have the resources to make a difference in the lives less fortunate than us! With an inspiring speech by Lion Trish WIlson (a counselor at the Texas Lions Camp )

I was the Master of Ceramonies for the event (much to my surprise) so unfortunately i was unable to take pictures, however i did get pics of the dancing that ensued afterwards!
