first day of being 15

wow. yesterday was my last day of being 14 and I forgot to blog about it. But whatever. *sigh* Being 15 is nice and all. I feel pretty dang old. i'm like halfway to 30. Dam. Well other then it being my birthday, it's also 12/12/12. Happy 12/12/12 to everyone out there. This will probably be the last 12/12/12 we'll ever have. Well in our lifetime anyways. Today was fun. I even got a piggyback ride. But yeaa. Happy 12/12/12 everyone and enjoy it while you can. I would tell you to make a wish at 12/12/12 12:12:12 but it's already too late for that. At least I got to make a wish. What is it? Well I'm not allowed to tell or else it won't come true. Happy 12/12/12 and hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did. =)

finallyyyy

holyyyyy. just finished. my. brochure. for. S.S. omggg. we're still not halfway done the S.S. project itself though. and i still have to do my Independent Reading Project.... omg.

PSAT

dayum im tired. I just handed in my science proposal today along finishing the PSAT test. Omgggg. Pre-IB pressure is pretty insane. I've been sleeping at like 1 for the past few days and I dont think I could even remember a time that I wasn't tired. anyways i got a socials project to take notes for. Goodness. next week is gonna be one heck of a week. i got 2 science tests and 3 projects.

3 projectssss

omgggggggg. i have 3 projects due in like a weeek. omgggg. being in pre-IB is pretty dang stressful. and i kinda wasted my Sunday because i fell asleep at around 1 pm and woke up at 4. I was just soo tired from yesterday because i slept at 1 finishing up my book for English. omgggg. soooo stressful. Right now, im trying to think of a Science fair project because the proposals due on wednesday. hmmm what should i do for my project this year.

life of pre-ib

*sigh* school just isn't the same anymore. I missed the days where there was still Synergy and we would all have fun chilling with school not even being super stressful except for some weeks where we would get projects and such but it was a pretty good life. Synergy seemed like a family. If you were stressing out, you would stress out together. Now in Pre-IB. I don't know. Just not the same. It doesn't even seem like a family anymore. No more 4 Synergy classes where we would get the same 30 people. Now it's just normal high school. Looking back, Grade 8 and 9 are probably gonna be the happiest years of high school. Nothing ahead but Pre-IB and IB. Then again, I guess it's different for everyone. Some people like big crowds and meeting new people but some people like me, just like small groups.

Speaking of big crowds, today we had a Pre-IB celebration where all the Pre-IB students would play some games and get formally introduced to Pre-IB. It was okay but I'd take Synergy any day. 

Summerrrr

well that was it for summer. It ended pretty dang quick but that's just like every other summer i guess. Let's see. What did I do this summer? Hmmm. Well i went to Hong Kong just like every year, then to Singapore, and went to the Universal Studios in Singapore which was SUPERRR fun. I returned back to Hong Kong and went wakeboarding. That was what I was looking forward to all summer. It ended up pretty well. I improved alot and was able to do some really cool turns and even ended up learning how to do a 180 backside turn. You would have to turn to the back having your back face the boat dragging you backwards then finish the turn you were doing. Next summer, I'm planning to enter a competition. Now other than wakeboarding in Hong Kong, this summer, I even learnt how to cook which was pretty dang fun. Throughout the summer I've made like 7-8 dishes of my own. During the last day of my stay in Hong Kong, I made a meal for the whole family. I made Caesar Salad, Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Lamb Rack, and finished the meal with appetizing brownies for dessert. *sigh*. I miss summer already. Now I'm back in Vancouver with school already starting. This year is probably gonna be alot different from Grade 8 or 9. Now that I'm in Pre-IB and all. I won't even get 4 classes with my Synergies. I guess we just gonna wait till tomorrow to see whose in my class and all that. Goodbye Grade 9 and helllooooooo there Grade 10. 

Arguments

Arguments. Why do people argue? Is it for the better or for the worse? Does it mean that someone cares about you so that they argue or does it count as conflict? Sometimes, you could be arguing about the dumbest things. People argue about something they don't agree on whether it's about knowledge or just simple things they talk about. Behind every single argument is someone's ignorance. It's really up to you to solve an argument or just leave things the way they are. Sometimes, you can't expect things to be done for you and you have to take action yourself. Everyone has arguments and you can't expect everything to go perfectly as you wish. After an argument, just remember that what's done is done. It's a thing of the past. Think of it as a lesson. Everything you go through is suppose to prepare you for life. In every moment of your life, you need to think of the best possible thing you could do in that moment, in the present. Prepare for the future and forget about the past.

Father's Day

soo today, for Fathers Day, me and my parents decided to go to Premium Outlet at the US to go shopping. I ended up buying some new clothes and 2 pairs of jeans while my mom got a new purse from Coach and my dad got a new jacket. It was a pretty successful shopping day. I ended up getting a pair of Vans shoes too. We also got some groceries at Costco on the way and when we got back to Vancouver we tried to eat out but all the restaurants were filled with people. We ended just going back home and making our special dinner. pretty good father's day. =)

Moment Gone Wrong

Moments in our lives are simple. Some of them go wrong and some of them turn out great. They also have the expectancy to change from good to great or from good to bad. When it does the transition from good to bad, you wonder in your head, "How could things go so wrong." Then you realize that it was what you've said. You might not like the fact that you have bad moments but it's part of life. You just have to keep in mind that the next day will always be a new day to start over and have a new shot at life.

saturday

today was rainy. so very very rainy. *sigh* life is boring. no more chinese school. I got nothing to do.
summer sucks. anyways tomorrow's father's day and I have cologne prepared for my dad. I hope he likes it. to celebrate father's day we're going to the US. wonder how it's gonna be like over there.

Last Blog of Synergy

the last blog of Synergy. Wow. From the first few days I've started blogging to today. So many things have changed and so much of my life has developed. I've met a lot of great friends and done a lot of great projects. I think I've gotten more mature then I was when I first started Synergy and I met a lot of great friends. I'm quite glad I got a chance to be in this program. With it being the last day of school, there were tears and laughs of joy. It was mostly tears on our last Synergy class. We made a circle and we went around just talking about our emotions. It just made me realize how much more I'm gonna miss Synergy. All the friends and people I've met through it. All the memories. It was fun dancing for Buskerfest and now everytime I hear the song, "Celebration", I'll always think back to my first year of high school. Sometimes, it's not the song that makes you emotional, it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it. I've had a lot of fun performing and practicing for it. Also, I'll always cherish the photographs we've taken as a family together in Synergy. You look at a photograph and you wish you could re-live that moment over and over again. I wish I could go back to the day I first came into Synergy. Anyways, I really don't know what to say to perfectly end this last blog. I hope someday we'll all be together somehow again. All of us together. Wherever we may be. Thanks everyone for making my first two years at high school fun. Thanks to Mr. Olson for reading my blog for 2 years. Hopefully I'll still continue blogging. This whole experience has been fun. The ride is now officially over. It was fun while it lasted but all good things have to come to an end right? We just gotta learn to move on. Synergy of 2010-2012. It was nice while it lasted but now, goodbye. "Goodbyes will always hurt, memories good or bad will bring tears and words can never replace feelings."

Last Dayss

*sigh* tomorrow's the last of school. The last day of Grade 9 and the last day of Synergy. Wow. Its hard to rerun through all the things I've done ever since I've gotten to high school. So many things happened. From the first few days of school, where it was all about meeting new people, to all the tests and exams where we procrastinated and cramped the studying together, to the fun moments we've had together like the fieldtrips, to now. Synergy made my two years in high school special and fun. I felt welcome and I met a lot of great people along the way. It just felt like I haven't spent enough time in Synergy. Eventually people move on through life but I really don't want to move on. Childhood's gonna be the happiest part of my life and I wanna stay a child and enjoy all the moments that are left. Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory. I'm sure Synergy will be one of the happiest memories I'll have. I've had a lot of great memories in the past and just thinking back at them just makes me wanna cry. I'm quite lucky to have been part of Synergy and I don't regret anything.

I'm nervous about going to Pre-IB and I much rather just stay in Synergy but life goes on. Thanks to everyone for making my time at Synergy so fun and beautiful. Thanks to Jason and Roy for making me laugh, thanks to Judy to listening to my problems from time to time, and especially thanks to Gabriel for listening to me, sticking to me, and always being on my side. I'm gonna miss you Gabriel. Everyone will. School won't be the same with you there. I know I owe you a bunch from the day I've met you to now. You've been an awesome friend and you would always support me. I wish we could graduate together and be with each other from start to end but things happen for a reason right? I wish you the best of luck wherever you are. Remember to visit and you're always welcome to talk anytime. As for everyone else in Synergy, it's been a nice ride with you. We've had some great moments and they were all filled with fun and joy. Now it's time to say goodbye. But we should never say goodbye because saying goodbye means you're going away and if you're going away that means you're forgetting. I will never forget Synergy. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

s.s finalss

almost donee with my finalss. Just one more to go then I'm freeeeee. the s.s final is gonna be the last test of the whole year. Then it'll be nice relaxing summer days. anywayss today was like the last full day of Day 2. It was pretty fun. We got our tests back from Science and a lot of the questions were messed up and some of the answers were wrong. Then for English, we finished the movie, "Prestige". it was a really good movie and it really makes you think. It was kinda complicated though. For Strings, I had a test and finally for P.E. we did our 50m sprint and played our last game of soccer. I got like 7.92 on my 50m and it was a pretty good improvement from last year. As for soccer, our team did a pretty good job with 4-0 and I ended up scoring 2 goals which was a nice way to end the soccer unit. Soccer was pretty fun. Anyways yeaa. Third last day of school. Only 2 more to go.

PARTTTYYYY

today was our last bonding day for Synergy 9 and to celebrate it, we had a party. We were suppose to go to the beach but due the weather we ended up staying at school. We ordered from The Flying Wedge and got some pizzas and salads and cookies and pop. The total amount was like $308. That's like insane. There were like 8 boxes of pizza, a box of cookies, 30 salads, and 6 bottles of pop. It was a lot of food but $308 was pretty expensive. I just liked the cookies the most. They were so soft and sweet. During the party, we watched the Social Network which was about Facebook and all that and yeaaa. It was a pretty nice party. Our last bonding time... Ohhh and Natasha came for a visit during the first bit of the party. It was nice seeing her again and yeaa. 

Pizza

wow, I've been munching on and on from the leftover pizza we got yesterday. It's sooooo good. Omgg I had like 2 pieces of it today. One as an afternoon snack and another as a snack before bedtime. I think I'm gonna get super fat soon.

anywayss today i just did my science finals and it was like medium hard. There were some easy questions and there were some pretty hard questions soo the test wasn't like horrible. I'm glad I got it over with. Now all I have left is just math finals tomorrow and to end it all, a socials final. Soo todays the last monday of Grade 9. Wow. I usually hate Mondays but today was nice. It was clear blue skies and it was just beautiful. It was kinda hot thought but nevertheless it was still a relaxing day. One of the best Mondays I've had actually. OHH and also, I got my brand new camera todayy. Omggg I'm loving it right now. Nikon D3200. I pre-ordered it and the package just came today. I was planning to bring it to school tomorrow to take some pictures of our last Synergy 9 bonding time but I don't want anything to happen to my camera so I'm deciding to just leave it home. ehh I'll always have my phone.

Kings just won the Stanley Cup. Congratulations on getting your first Stanley Cup LA.

Italian Day

sooo today was Italian Day and at Commercial Drive there were lots of booths set up and a lot of food. There were a lot of people and a lot of performances. I ended up buying a whole pizza back home and it was delicious. Here's some pictures.

Last day of Chinese

Sooo today was finally the last day of Chinese school. I found out today that I actually passed and I'm going to graduate. I got lik 67.5 on my final mark on my chinese report card and that's actually a big improvement from last term. I got like 50 last term and yea. Even the teacher wrote improvement in chinese on my report card soo I'm pretty proud of myself. No one failed in the class so that's good news. I'm not sure if I'm gonna survive next year though. Next year for chinese, we're gonna be learning about Chinese history and it's gonna be super hard. I hope it wont be too bad but who knows. Anyways, New Jersey won todays game and right now the series 3-2. It would be amazing if New Jersey made a comeback. I'm rooting for New Jersey. May the odds be ever in your favour.

The Shining

soo today for Applied Skills we finished watching a horror movie called the Shining. Honestly it wasn't really that scary. Some people couldn't even bear to watch it but overall it was a pretty good movie. The plot was really good and Jack did a good job of acting. I also like the way how they included the most common horror movie monsters in one movie. There were some pretty exciting moments and I liked it. I really liked the setting of the movie. The hotel looked naturally scary and the hedge maze was pretty nice. The sound effects played a big part in this movie. All those scary soundtracks and the sudden boom of noises to make the mood more scary and intense. I liked it.

Selfishness

Sometimes I get that feeling that I could get selfish at times. I'm not sure if it's just other people that gets selfish that makes you feel selfish. Recently, I just get that feeling that I get selfish and I act like a jerk. I've been told that I don't care about things enough. Sometimes I just get caught up in my own problems that I don't even have time to care about anyone else. I'm so stressed with all the homework and the finals and there's only a week left of school. *sigh* I don't know. I've had a pretty bad day. I fell asleep studying yesterday and I had a bad morning today. Everyone's selfish in their own way. Everyone likes attention and sometimes you just expect much more attention than you receive from a person and you think that they're selfish when in reality you're just as selfish. I don't know... I'm tired.

English finals tomorrowwww

There's only like 7 more days of school left and my english finals are tomorrow. I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. There's really nothing like super hard about the english finals. Last year, it was easy. I remember one of the questions was just like, find the serial code on a cereal box. I'm not so sure if this year is gonna be as easy. The only hard part I think are the poems and naming the poetic devices and such. Maybe also the Midsummer Night's Dream but we just finished it and I remember it pretty well. Mr. Hauck said you'll be good if you've read the story so I'm pretty confident on that part. Time to go study.

English Project

soo the english project that I stayed up till like 3 am doing was finally due today and a lot of other people had some really good projects. I think the best I've seen was Fiona's project. It had a bunch of information and it looked really nice. Mine was two pieces of paper taped together to form a bigger one. I drew a picture of a guy sleeping under a tree and typed up some info on the characters, setting, and plot. The problem with mines was that it had to be a story map and my project wasn't really much of a map. But really, I'm just glad I got it over with. That project stressed me out alot.

*sigh* anyways. I realized that I've had my phone for almost 2 years now. Looking back at the first few pictures I've ever took was very emotional. I saw some pictures of Whiskey and when he was still here with me. When he was sleeping under my bed and yea. I really really miss him. If only he was still here with me. 

no violin

so todayy was like the first time I was able to be excused from violin. My mom knew I had a project due tomorrow and a test and she knew I was gonna be super busy so I just skipped violin for once. The project is pretty broad and I don't really know how to start. You basically just create a story map of Mid-Summer Night's Dream. Right now I'm not quite sure how much I have of it done. I got all the characters down and plots and events and such. I just need to think of how to plot everything down. What I have in mind is making all the info onto these dreams bubbles. A big part of the whole book is about themes and it would be a pretty good idea. Soo I should get working on it. I hope I don't stay up too late today.

Video Idea.

Omggg onlyy 5 more days till I get my new camera. I'm definitely excited for that. Hopefully I'll be taking more pictures and videos after that. Anyways speaking of making videos, I've been pretty inspired to make a super deep video about cutting. Maybe it's just because of the fact that I've been shocked to find out that some people did it but I feel like it's also good to make a video about it. I just wanna get a big message across from the whole video: Think twice before you cut. Hopefully I can make it as nice as possible. That'll probably be my goal for the summer. Soo yea. This week is gonna be a rough week filled with tests and projects and review. Not looking forward to it at all.

hurt.

today I talked to a friend that I haven't talked to in a while now. It was today that I realized how much she changed. She's been through a whole lot of conflicts. I don't know what happened. It's just a total mess. I just feel so guilty not talking to her. I left her for a period of time and I didn't even know she was this broken down until I actually talk to her. The problem with her is that she likes to keep things to herself and that's bad. She hasn't found that one person she could trust with her life and tell everything to. She's used to being left and now I just wanna help her. She's opened up her feelings to 2 people but they never really helped. She's considered suicide and she's been depressed. I'm worried about her. What happened to her...

june

*sigh* the first day of june. Also the month where school ends. There's really nothing much to look forward to this month. Only the Synergy fieldtrip we have and maybe the time we have left together but really, there's nothing left. I don't know. I've had a really good year and there'll be a lot of people I'll miss. I've also had some really great classes with everyone. I'm nervous about next year. Who knows what could happen. It won't be Synergy anymore and that's really a shame. We were like family. All 30 of us. We've been together for 2 years. I still remember the first day we've ever met.

anyways, today during Strings, my friend taught me all about religion and Buddhism. Buddhism is basically all about karma. What goes around always comes around. Buddhism is also about reincarnation. If you had done something bad in your previous life, you will have bad karma in your life. Half of your life is decided and another half is your choice. It's kinda interesting but I'm still not quite convinced with all the beliefs of Buddhism. My other friend told me that all the religion stuff is all just fake. I don't know what to believe. It would be cool if reincarnation was real. We would never really leave this world.

french presentations

These two weeks are probably gonna be the toughest two weeks of my life. I've just had my french presentation today. I was soo tired in the morning cuz I slept at like 3 am finishing it. It wasn't just one tough day but two because I have an English test tomorrow, and I barely started studying. I spent most of my time working on Science. Next week is probably gonna be even worse. I got like so many tests and projects due. We only get like 4-5 days of notice too so yeaa. Also, finals are coming up and omggg. At least summers almost here. Then I'll get like 2 whole months to recover and enjoy life. Last few days of Synergy. I wonder how Pre-IBs gonna be like.

OMGGGG

I just had Langara today and I got like 12:45. Yeaaa. I'm pretty proud of myself. Compared to when I was Grade 8, I improved by like 8 minutes which is awesome. I just motivated myself to keep running and just not stop. I was like second to finish and I'm quite happy. This is a pretty good way to finish off the last few days of Grade 9.

Anyways I have a big French project that's due tomorrow and I'm up at like 2:30am doing it. I've just been so busy with other work and my partner's not really helping me at all so I'm pretty much doing like 90% of the work. Omggg I'm so tired. I just finished. phew. I get like 4-5 hours of sleep. Great. 

TRIUMFFF

SOOOOO another fieldtrip. Yup. It was kinda rainy today and it wasn't the perfect weather. It got better in the afternoon but it wasn't great weather. Anyways we went to TRIUMF today and it was pretty cool seeing all their machines. It was actually pretty big. If I didn't have a tour guide, we've probably would've been lost. Isn't it kinda amazing to think that they're working with things they can't even see? All these advancements and innovations are amazing. Yea. It was more of a knowledge fieldtrip.

Anyways I just got informed that school actually ends on Junes 15th or something. I always thought that it ended on like June 28th. Wow. So now I just realized that we actually have less time. Only like 17 more days of school. I've been thinking about summer and what I'm gonna do with my time. I really don't know. I might be doing guitar lessons again or maybe some extra Taekwondo lessons. What would suck is if I had to follow my parents to where they work for the whole day. That would pretty much ruin the whole summer. It's sooo boring. I just end up sitting there waiting hoping the day would pass by and end. That would make summer unenjoyable. I really hope it doesn't end up like that. 17 more days of school. Gotta enjoy the last few days of Grade 9. 

FIELDDTRIPP AGAINNN

wow it feels like there's been so many fieldtrips these days. Like the kayaking fieldtrip and now we get to go to TRUMF tomorrow. It's a lot to do. Wow, I can't believe it's the 28th already. There's about a month left of school until the last day and yea. Honestly, I dont want summer to come. When summer does come, I'll be bored out of my mind and I won't get to see my friends. I won't see some people ever again like Gabe who's leaving after this year. So much to miss and just not enough time to actually enjoy yourself and have fun. Well there are some good things about summer I guess. Like the weather and the freedom. Well actually not that much freedom but anyways, speaking of weather. It was sorta rainy today. This week's probably gonna be rainy. It rained like pretty dang hard a while ago and yea. Omgg. Summer, why must you come. Why can't I just stop time. omgggg.

French project

soo today Andy came over to my house to finish working on our French project that's due on Thursday. For French, we have to create a trip to a park that we were assigned and make a brochure. So far, we don't have much done. We gotten through parts of the script but we still need to finish the script and make the brochure. Right now, the plan is that I make the brochure and that Andy finishes the rest of the script. It'll be interesting to see what we'll have in the end.

Anyways other than doing the French project, I made a new video today with Andy. Well it wasn't much of a video. When we were doing French, we got kinda bored at times so to take a break, we would sing to some songs so we decided to sing to "What Makes You Beautiful". We decided to record us singing to it and BOOM! new video posted. Yeaa. Since I posted one video, I decided to stack up on videos and I ended up posting all my unposted videos. So today, I posted a cover of a song, an old video I had from before, and the vlog of Deer Lake. Yeaa. I'm getting ready to really start making some videos now. Probably during the summer. I gotta really start encouraging myself to do it. Sometimes I just get lazy but yea. I'll do my best to make videos in my free time for fun. 

Chinese Exam

omgggg. it's the last chinese exam of the year. phewww. I really hope I did well. This exam is probably gonna be super important. If I don't do well on this test then I think I have a possible chance of like flunking this grade. I'm not even sure if it's possible to flunk but yeaa I'm kinda scared. I have to prepare. If i flunk, I should decide whether I'm gonna repeat the grade, switch to mando, or just quit. Today I already gave the fee for next year so I'll most likely be continuing. It really all depends on what I'm gonna get for my exam. Honestly, I don't think I did that bad. The exam wasn't super hard and the teacher gave us Compared to last year, I did pretty well. I improved a lot. For one dictation, I got like 97% and I was pretty proud of myself. I tried pretty hard and yea. I hope I don't flunk.

Carnival

soo today was the Carnival and it was pretty similar to last year except maybe the activites and food. This year there were freezies and I was excited. I wanted freezies so badly. I haven't had a freezie since like Grade 3 or 4. That was when our school stopped selling them because it wasn't too healthy. It brings back alot of memories. The freezies only cost $0.50 which was pretty cheap. Before in elementary, I remember it would cost $1. So yeaa. The first thing I did was buy a freezie. After that, I went around the Carnival checking out the stands and what there was to do. There was this one stand of putt putt golf where if you got the ball into the hole, you would get a ticket to a free pizza. You would only get one try and not many people got it. It was free to try so me and my friends decided to try it. Some of my friends got it in and when it was my turn, I got kinda nervous but in the end, I got it in. Sooo yea. I ended up getting a free lunch. I had fun at the Carnival and I enjoyed myself.

Spring Concert

Since there's like job action and all the annual spring concert we usually have in the evening was moved to schools hours. I got to miss Strings and P.E. Well missing Strings wasn't that big of a deal because I was performing for Strings. Missing P.E. kinda sucked though. During the intermission for the concert, I went outside to check what my P.E. class was doing and it turned out there were learning how to do bounce the ball on their heads. It looked kinda fun and really wanted to play soccer than just sit and listen to performances. It's nice listening to music but soccer's more exciting. For the performance, we did pretty bad. Everyone in Strings all knew that we did horrible. We had horrible starts and sometimes we would speed up. It was kinda frustrating playing too just because of the lack of space and the group messing up at times. The band players did fairly well but it was the choir members that blew me away. The soloists of the choir were just amazing. Omgg. I wish I could sing like them <3

Kayakinggg

omggggg. Such a long day. I've done so much today and I'm like exhausted. We had to bus all the way to Burnaby. The whole trip took more than about an hour or so. The bus ride was pretty bad. I got a little carsick on the way. Anyways when we finally got there, the lake was pretty beautiful other than the fact that the water is filled with poop. We started kayaking pretty darn late. It was like 2 when we started to even kayak and we had an hour and a half of it. We started at 2 and it was relaxing just strolling around the lake. I  didnt really expect to get as wet as I did and it was kinda disgusting because it was all the poop water. At one point I decided to just lie back in my kayak and look up at the sky. It felt nice. It was a nice fieldtrip. It was also a pretty nice way to end Synergy 9. I'm gonna miss everyone. I gotta enjoy whats left of it. Only a few more weeks till schools done. Wow. Time passes by quick when you're having fun. I had fun. 

Tomorrow.

Wow. Today's been filled with ups and downs. I don't even know where to start. The weather was cloudy at times and sunny the next. So much stuff happened it's like a dream. I had lunch at the park again and even though it was sorta cloudy. The park was still so beautiful even on such a cloudy day. It's been a confusing day. I don't even know what I look forward to anymore in life. Maybe I might forward to tomorrow's fieldtrip but it's gonna rain and kayaking in the rain isn't really the best thing to do. Oh how I wish it would be sunny tomorrow. Lets cross our fingers and hope.

Photo Album

A few days ago, my dad went to have all the photos we took within these two years processed and we organized it all in this nice photo album. It's actually quite beautiful. It brought back a lot of memories like how special Christmas was and the trip to Whistler and wakeboarding during the summer. It made me kinda miss all those good moments. Especially Christmas. It was just extra special last year. Even though there weren't as many people as there would be other years, it was fun. We would have parties every year and I would invite all of my elementary friends and I'm not sure if it's special because they were the people that I grew up with that went separate ways to different high schools or just because I haven't seen them for so long. They made my childhood special. It was nice seeing them again. all the memories. Probably when I'm like 20 or 30, looking back at this photo album I'll cry. It sucks growing up. 

SUNDAYYYY

yayyyy its sunday. the day to relax and enjoy whats left of the week. Tomorrow's the last day of the 4 day weekend. Too bad it was raining though. Usually around Victoria Day, there's the Cloverdale Rodeo. We would go every year but since today was just raining we decided to call it off for a year. Instead, we went to Richmond Centre to do some shopping. My dad was trying to find a nice leather jacket and we went everyone comparing prices and seeing whats nicer. We never found the right jacket. Then I went into my favourite store there, Boathouse, and got some shirts. I also found this nice purple plaid shirt. I love purple and I love plaid shirts. After that, we went to Lansdowne to get some groceries and to go to Best Buy to see if anything new or interesting came out. My dads planning to buy me a camera near the end of the month. I'm getting the D3200 when it comes out. Yea. I'm pretty excited for that. One more day to relax. Pheww. 

Congratzz

sooo yesterday, my uncle in Hong Kong got married. So I would like to start off this blog by congratulating my uncle and his wife. Too bad I couldn't go back to Hong Kong to see attend their wedding. I have school so yeaa.

Anyways so far, I've been enjoying my 4 day weekend. Especially since Friday was the last district closure we'll have this year. Yup. We won't be having district closures for the rest of Grade 9 and upcoming Grade 10 too. Who knows when we'll get district closures back. I'll be expecting a whole lot less of breaks and days with no school. I heard it's raining tomorrow and it's kinda unbelievable since it hasn't rained for like a week or so now and it was so dang beautiful today. It's a Sunday tomorrow too so rain would kinda ruin it. Well even if it rains, we just gotta make the best out of what we have.

Cadetsss

soo today for cadets we learnt all about home health care. We went to Langara College and we went to a nursing room where we learnt all about making beds on these hospital beds and how to change the sheets when someones on the bed. It was actually was interesting. We had these dolls on the beds as pretend people and the dolls were pretty advanced and cool. There were also a lot of cool devices there. Also, we learnt how to get someone sitting up from them lying on bed and how to transfer them onto a wheelchair. It was pretty fun learning all that and it was fun doing it. I wish we would do activities like that more often.

Cuts

I don't get why some people cut themselves. I mean, there's really no point to it. You're just causing pain to yourself for no reason. From what I know, people cut themselves because they have pain emotionally and the way they choose to deal with it is just cut themselves. Really I don't get the point. You just cause more pain to yourself. If someone were to have emotional problems, they should just find someone they trust with their life and just tell them everything. Having someone there to hear your problems really help. Keeping all those emotions and feelings all bottled up inside of you is never good. You should just release them all. You'd be surprised how many people actually cut themselves. It's shocking. Even the people with the prettiest smiles hide secrets and you just never really know. They might just have the smile as a mask when they're actually broken down inside. They really just need to know that there are other ways to deal to their problems and cutting yourself doesn't help at all.

 

Beautiful eating spot

Another beautiful hot sunny day. To enjoy this weather me and Gabriel decided to go outside for lunch. The problem was, there were at least like 50 people outside just because the weather was so nice. Everyone is starting to eat outside now. We wanted a nice and quiet place where we could relax and just enjoy ourselves. I knew of a small park with some swings near our school and we decided to have lunch there. It was kinda like a picnic. We would sit under a tree for shade and after we had lunch, we would go on the swings. The best part was, there was barely anyone there so we could have peace and quiet and just enjoy ourselves. That was probably the best part of my day so far. It was just so relaxing and nice. Too bad we couldn't stay there the whole day. That's probably gonna be my new eating spot on sunny days. I'm probably gonna go there again tomorrow. 

NO MOREEE SUNNY DAYSSSS

I woke up this morning to find that the sunshiny weather wasn't so sunshiny anymore. It was actually cloudy. goodness. Out of all those days with the sunshine and the nice weather, today was actually cloudy. Well it was half cloudy anyways. There were still a lot of people wearing shorts. I guess even though it wasn't sunny it was still pretty hot.

Anyways enough of the daily rant about the weather. Today there was a huge test for S.S. today and I studied really really hard for it. I studied like 4 hours yesterday, I studied when I was walking to school with my friend, I studied a little when I finished my homework in math, and finally I studied a little during break and some during lunch. Finally when the moment came for the test, I was actually feeling good about it. The test wasn't as super hard as I expected it to be. The only really "big" part about the test was the essay. I wrote like a full page and I'm pretty proud of it. I'm actually kinda nervous about the test. I wonder what I got... Anyways COLLABB TOMORRROWWWW. YAAAYYYYY. Shortened Science and English periods with regular Strings and P.E. periodss. I'm exciteddd. Soccers sooo fun. I hope it's sunny tomorrow.

hot

oh my goodness it was boiling hot today.
my skin was burning and I almost got overheated when we had P.E. We started soccer today and it was awesomeeee. It gets tiring though chasing for the ball all the time but yea it was fun. I did okay actually. I scored like 2 goals and yeaa. I'm pretty proud of myself. it wasn't that big of a deal though. I wish we could play soccer without it being so sunny though. I felt horrible after P.E. just because it was so hot. It was actually like the first time this year that I've had too much sun. Like blue skies are fine but sometimes the sun gets annoying. But for lunch I went outside to enjoy the sunshine sooo yea. I don't totally hate the sun. Just sometimes. Summers almost here. You can tell. 

MOTHERS DAYYY

SOO today I finally gave my mom the gift I had for her. If you dont know already I bought her a beautiful necklace a few days ago. She really liked it. Well i don't know if she really liked it or she just wanted me to think she liked it. She really appreciated the gift though. It was the thought that she really appreciated. She cried and told me that it was beautiful and I put it on for her right away. She also said it was the first time she ever received a Mothers Day present and yea. My parents told me not to get something so expensive and just get a simple card next time. Yea, it was nice trying to make Mothers Day special. I'm gonna try to make next year even special. *sigh* if only Whiskey were here with me to enjoy Mothers Day. 

Self Defense

soo its another Saturday and I have my usual Taekwondo lessons. Today our teacher showed us some takedowns. We reviewed some of the arm locks and today, he showed us what we would do we someone grabbed our leg when we kicked them. If they would trip your other leg while they were holding your other leg, you would grab their arm and put it on your chest. Not only do you have something to hold onto while you fall but it makes their upper body go down with you too. Now this is where the cool stuff starts to happen. Since they're still holding your leg and you're both on the ground, you take your other leg and put it between the head and their arm that was holding the leg. You then would have him in an arm lock and you just push ur hip up and you would be able to break their arm. Yea. It was pretty fun.

Anyways it's been a pretty nice week with the good weather and all. Its also Mother's Day. HAPPY MOTHERS DAYY EVERYONEEE. TO ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE, HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAYY. I love you mom and grandma.

New Student

soo today, my friend introduced me to a new student who recently came to Churchill. His name's Julien and apparently he came from Japan. He says he's half Japanese and half Canadian. He's actually pretty good at English. His pronunciation was excellent and he made some grammar errors from time to time but he was pretty good. There were a lot of people that were really friendly and helped him around and stuck with him. They were all trying to speak Japanese and learn how to say what. He seemed like a pretty nice guy and he kinda looked like this youtube singer named Sam Tsui. Thats what I thought anyways. Hope he has a nice time at Churchill. I'll do my best to get to know him better. 

Words.

Sometimes words could hurt more than actions could. Whether you're a grownup or just a simple child, it all hurts the same. Once you've said something, you could never ever take it back. It could never be forgotten but only forgiven. You have to be careful with the words you say and you really have to think it through. Sometimes it just might be too late when you already blurted it out. Probably all of you have regretted something you've said before in your life and you just wanted to go back in time and fix it but you can't. Not just words but actions too. I hate regretting things. Why couldn't I have just done it right in the first place. I really need to decide hard before I do stuff. 

PROOO-D

Sooo since it's pro-d and it's mother's day soon, I decided to go shopping with my friend to find a good mother's day gift. It was actually a lot harder than you think. You had to find something that was affordable yet nice. There were a lot of things you couldn't buy. You can't buy shoes because you don't know what she would like and what size her feet are. You can't buy clothes either for the same reasons. I even considered buying stuffed animals for her. I went around Richmond Centre going through store after store. I even went into jewelry shops in Richmond Centre but it was just too expensive. Then me and my friend decided to go to other malls so we went to Aberdeen since it was close. There were a lot of jewelry shops there too and that's when I found a good present. There was this nice necklace that costed $70. For a 14-year old that was pretty expensive. I had exactly $80 on me and without even a second thought, I bought it. I hope she likes it. The thing about giving is that you end up feeling good about yourself. This is probably the biggest gift I've given anyone. Now I'm starting to feel guilty about not getting anything for my dad. I feel that if one deserves a gift, there shouldn't be another left out. What do I dooo. 

Starting a new life.

Have you ever regretted something you've done in your life? Have you ever made mistakes after mistakes affecting your life? You feel like you just want to start a brand new life so that everything would go away and you could start all over again. Even though you start a brand new life, you're still going to make mistakes along the way no matter how hard you try to be perfect. Making mistakes is part of life. Everything happens for a reason and if we don't make mistakes, we're not human. We all learn from our mistakes and I guess the mistakes are part of what makes us the people we are today. We should all be proud of what we've done and we should never regret. Don't try to start over when you've already accomplished so much.

mondayyss

ughh. mondays. ew. even though it was a pretty nice day with it being all sunny I was still super tired. I hatee mondays. Not as much as I hate thursdays but mondays suck. Mostly cuz of my violin lessons after but it actually turned out pretty well today. The violin teacher said I improved. I don't know if he actually meant it or if he was just in a good mood and he just said it.

Anyways tomorrow's the essay thing and I'm kinda nervous. I'm not sure if I even should be. I heard it was like a pretty huge thing. For my friend's english class, it was worth 10% of his final mark which is kinda scary if you think about it. I'm not sure if I'll do too well. I was never good with writing essays. Anyways i gotta get a good night's sleep. Night.

Proooo-D

danggg. I just realized that there's a pro-d on wednesday. omggggg yayyyy. theres only like a month and a half of school left to go. Grade 9's coming to an end. Yea I gotta say, out of all the years, Grade 9 fizzed by pretty quick. I guess Grade 8 felt longer when you're still meeting new people and making new friends. Now it's just people hanging out with their own group because you already know people and you know who your friends are. Maybe there still are some new people that you might meet but for the most part, most of the introductions are made in Grade 8. I wonder what Grade 10s gonna be like. *sigh* i hate how time just keeps going on and theres nothing you could do to stop it. Maybe you could slow it down but it's still continuing on. We're all slowly dying and coming closer to leaving this world.

Anyways I spent my Sunday mostly doing homework and I watched the Tooth Fairy in the afternoon and there was this nice quote I remembered. "You can't score a goal if you don't take a shot". It was like referring to hockey and it's a pretty meaningful quote. Anyways I finished watching the Tooth Fairy and it was a good movie. So yea. I heard tomorrow's gonna be 19 degrees. Dangg. gonna be pretty hot.

report cardss

well since I have nothing to blog about, I'll just talk about my report card. But before I do, Gabe... I wasn't being mean =.= The first bell rung and that signals the end of break. So really the bow tie was safe then. ANYWAYSSS. omgggg. I did so so so so so so so so so bad. first term was like average for me but it went downhill second term. SOOOOOOO bad. I can't believe I got a friggin B for French. I was like a percent away from an A. I guess I'm just too quiet in class. omggggg. I still can't get over it. Then there was Applied Skills which I got a C+ in. Dropped from an A to a C+. Everything else just stayed pretty much the somee. I hope I do better 3rd term.

queen of class

soo today we got bow ties. Well actually we didn't all get bow ties. We had science first period and we were suppose to get it during science but we never got them. Me, Kevin, Jason, and Roy all had to go to the office during break to actually get them. Most of the guys in Synergy didn't even end up getting them. Anyways there were alot of girls out there that were trying to get bow ties. During lunch you could see some girls with their pockets full of bow ties. Some of them really want to win the prizes they had. You would see girls trying to get other guys talk. Even I almost lost my bow tie when I first got it. Anyways I ended up losing it at the end of the day. *sigh* I wanted the chocolate.

first day of presentations

omggg the first day. getting picked today feels like getting picked for the Hunger Games. Thank goodness we have the brave young souls who volunteer. Anywaysss today I saw alot of different first person POV and it gave me an idea for my project. My project actually seems okay now. I might have to change the script a little and change some of the stuff on my slides so it's still in development.

For socials today, we finally had Condomania. FINAALLY. We've been waiting for it for like a week or so now. Anyways we learnt about all stuff like safe sex and consent and really it was pretty much just like last year except no free condoms. I think even one of the people that presented it to us was the person from last year. It turns out that the Queen of Ties thing is postponed to tomorrow. I much rather have it on Day 1. Just seems better for me. 

Projectttt

Probably everyone I know right now is doing their Applied Skills project. I'm actually quite proud of what I have so far. My presentation looks alright. I'm trying to make it as special and organized as possible. I gotta admit, I'm a neat freak. I like things being neat and tidy. Some people I know are already done their projects. I'm kinda excited to see what Gabe's project is like. He says his first person POV is a scientist's POV. It's probably something impressive and maybe if he presented before me, I might get some ideas on how to make my presentation even better.
Anyways tomorrow we have Condomania. Finally. It's been delayed for like a week or so now. From what I've heard from my friends who already went, this year we don't get free condoms which is a disappointment. Whyyy.

Green Mango

Oh goodness.
Ew.
I've never tasted something so horrible ever in my life.
After school Chris and I decided to get a drink and this store at Parker Place has a bunch of slushie flavours and I saw green mango and it sounded pretty interesting and delicious. When I got it, it was horrible. It literally like destroyed my taste buds. I don't even know how to describe the taste. It tasted like moldy peaches or moldy mangoes. It didn't even taste like mango at all and it was green. It was like sour and a little moldy and partially tasteless. I'm never ever having it ever again. I almost wanted to throw up. I should probably just play it safe next time. I feel bad getting something I didn't like. I wasted something that other people out there might not even get a chance to try. *sigh*. Whyyyy. Well looking on the bright side, I've tried it and I don't like it. People learn from mistakes right? Now I know that I shouldn't get it. 

omgg

im soo tired today. I was yawning all day at school and I don't even know why. I slept pretty early yesterday so I don't get why I'm all tired. Anyways another normal Day 2. I think I'm starting to like Day 2s more now. I still don't know. They both have their pros and cons. Anyways, my pencil case got ruined. My friend was using my pen and it broke. I was gonna fix it at home so I just left all the parts to the pen in my pencil case. When i got home to open my pencil case I found that all the ink in the pen spilled out and it ruined 2 of my pens and part of my pencil case. Now I gotta get a new pencil case. At least it's near the end of the year. It's May tomorrow. Gosh. May and then June. Less than 2 more months of school. Less than 2 more months of Synergy 9. I still remember the beginning of the year. *sigh* i guess time passes by faster when you're having fun.

I'm kinda excited for May. My grandpa promised me he would get me a new camera so I could take better pictures and record high quality videos sooo yea. I'm pretty excited. I have like 2 presentations at the auditorium tomorrow. One for the physics and the other one's the Green Thumb presentation. Soo I'm gonna be missing math and Applied Skills. omgggg math </3. best period. gone. I didn't even get the fieldtrip form signed by the teacher. I completely forgot about it and now I gotta get it signed first thing tomorrow. Hope its sunny. 

tulipsss

todaysss Sundayyyy and I got nothing to do so me and my parents decided to go out to Agassiz to check out the tulips there and compare the tulips there with the tulips in the US. I have to say, the tulips at Agassiz were much more beautiful. There were many different colors and there was a mountain at the back to make it just that much more beautiful. Here are some pictures.

chineseee

omgggg this week for chinese school I studied super super hard. LIKE SUPER SUPER HARD. Even when i was done studying I still insisted on studying some more. This week's dictation was pretty easy and I guess I wanted to get a good mark for once. When i got to class, I studied some more before the dictation and when I finally did it, I did like pretty good. I might even have gotten like 100%. Then after that, the teacher announced that next week we won't be doing dictations. It's like one good news after another. Today was a pretty good day. I even got some sushi after chinese school and best part is, tomorrow's Sunday so I get to sleep in and get lots and lots of rest. Yay.

chocolate

Today for S.S. we watched a video on where where our chocolate comes from. Most of the coco beans that are used to make chocolate come from Africa and the video talked about the child labour there. Most of the children there would be taken to collect coco beans instead of going to school. They would get about 90 pounds for a whole bag of coco beans and the 90 pounds would be split between families. They would roughly make 1000 pounds a year.

Anyways, a few days ago, my mom's sister gave birth to a baby boy. He weighed 7 pounds and it was the 3rd baby she gave birth too. Congratulations to them. That'll probably be the final baby she'll have. Hope he grows up to be a healthy, big boy. My dad's sister's about to give birth soon anytime this year. She's about 18 weeks pregnant sooo yea. Her baby is expected to be around this year at fall or winter. Pretty exciting.

OMGGG

Today was the Bruins and the Capitals Game 7 and guess who won? THE CAPITALSSSS. omggg. Isn't it kinda sad how the teams that got to the Stanley Cup finals last year both lost in the first round of the playoffs. I still can't believe we lost that quickly. I hope we're a stronger team next year and maybe even have a chance at winning the cup.

Anywayss, today wasn't such as great of a day as I expected it to be. We had an English test today and I don't know if I did well on it or not. I thought after the test it was gonna be all fun but I got soo tired in the afternoon that I didn't even wanted to play badminton. I didn't do as well as I did last class but I still made some pretty good saves. Gabe's actually really good at badminton. Hope I'll be more energetic next time. This is why I don't really like P.E. last period. You end up all tired. 

lonelyyy

omggg photography and dance people were sooo lucky. They got to go on a fieldtrip to a beach and I'm just left at school being soo lonelyy. Omggg. Well I don't know if I should be glad that I didn't go or if i should be glad. Then again it was raining pretty hard today. *sigh*. Anyways. On facebook, there were some pictures of the fieldtrip and the beach looked pretty beautiful. Pretty much like half the class was gone. There weren't many people left in Synergy and we didn't even end up doing Condomania. I think it's rescheduled to next class. Hope it's sunny tomorrow. Then again, probably not very likely. *sigh* I guess rainy days have its own beauty in it too. 

Todayyy

Whoa the new blogger look is like super different. I don't know if it's good or bad. The design is pretty nice but now it's all white and plain. Too plain. I don't really like it. Anywaysss. Another day 2. I think I'm starting to enjoy day 2s more. Probably just because we're doing badminton and I look forward to doing badminton like every day 2 now and its funnn. I did pretty good today. I think I'm improving. Too bad badminton's ending soon. We've been doing about 2 and a half weeks of badminton so far and I think badmintons for like 3 weeks. Well at least I think it is. It might be a month but even if it is, we only have like 1-3 more classes left of badminton left. At least soccer's after and I've been looking forward to playing some soccer too. Hope it doesn't rain when we actually do go out for soccer. It would suck playing in the rain. but yea. I can't believe theres only 2 more months of school left. Grade 9 really passed by really quick. Too quick. I wish I could slow down time. If only.

DEBATEEE

HOLYYY MOLEYYYY
I just finished my debate today and omgggg I was like sooo nervous. Don't you just hate it when you're presenting and you get like super nervous and you start mispronouncing words. That happens to me a lot and it usually takes a while for me to get comfortable with actually speaking in front of other people. When I actually did get comfortable, I went monotone and I sounded like I was asleep and it's just bad. I need to work on my speaking skills. omgg. Anywaysss in the end, even though we made some pretty good points, we ended up losing. *sigh*. the opposition did pretty well and yeaaaa. At least I got it over with. 

U.S.

soooo today my parents and me decided to go to the US for Tulip Town to takes some pictures and see how beautiful the tulips were there and go to the outlet for some shopping and get some groceries at Costco. It was a pretty busy day. We woke up early at 8 in the morning and I was so sleepy. I don't usually get up till like 9 or 10 on Sundays. Anyways we wanted to go early so hopefully there wouldn't be many people crossing the US border there was still a pretty long lineup. Anyways by the time we got to Tulip Town it was about 10 or 11 and it was beautiful there.

after Tulip Town, we went straight to Premium Outlet to see if theres anything new worth buying. I found two pretty nice tee-shirts and a pair of shorts. As for my parents, they bought some shoes. Finally, by the time we reached Costco, it was around 4pm and we were there to get some groceries. Anyways, after all that, we finally headed back home. The lineup was super long when we were at the border and we waited for roughly about an hour. It was pretty fun though. 

Earth Day dutyyyyy

omgggg todayyy I just finished my first Earth Day duty at Everett Crowley Park for St. Johns. I got some experience of what it was like to go on these kind of duties. It's actually quite nice. You don't really do much and pretty much all you do is just sit at your first aid post and stand by. Every hour or two you might walk around the park to see if everything's okay and then you just head back to your post. There weren't many people today so nothing much happened today. One kid got a scrap on her hand from falling and one of our higher ranking members cleaned the wound and applied a bandaid. I didn't get to do any first aid but I did get a chance to learn how to record information down on a legal document about the injury and such. But really, you don't do much. I spent most of the time playing hangman with my friend during the duty soo yea. Even the leaders told us to bring something to do next time we go on duties like this. It was pretty nice though seeing people plant trees and making mud pies to celebrate Earth Day. It was a beautiful day.

Proooo D

soooo it turned out that yesterday was Jamieson's 50th anniversary and I really had no idea about it till a week ago when my friend whos in Grade 6 right now told me about it. He told me all about what they did. They had an assembly to celebrate it and everyone had cupcakes. If only I was still in Jamieson.

ANYWAYS, today was a Pro-D and really I didn't do much. I was gonna maybe have lunch with some friends but I never really got a chance because my parents made me stay home. They said I go out too often and I have like a chinese dictation tomorrow so I had to stay home and study and finish as much homework as I can. Not much of a Pro-D. but anyways, I got a St. John duty tomorrow to help out at a park for Earth Day. I'm still not quite sure what I'm doing tomorrow yet but I'm excited. Happy Early Earth Day =D

Social Media

today Jessie Miller came to our school to talk about the effects of social media like Facebook and such. He showed us how easy it was to stalk a person's Facebook and how easy it was to search you up. He even showed us a video about him stalking us. It was really creepy because I saw a bunch of people I knew. The creepiest part was, even my facebook profile was up there on the video. i was just shocked. He also mentioned how your posts and everything u ever had on your facebook is actually recorded and it never goes away. the waste you leave behind stays. He also talked about how employers stalk your profile on everything before they even hire you so they know what you're really like. I really made me think how easy it really is to find someone. No one's safe.

Canucks

dangggg. the science test. I was actually a lot easier than I thought. I'm pretty confident on it. I think I got a decent mark on it. But yea, pretty good.

Anyways, these people came to our school for a musical performance and everyone from band and strings went to watch. Basically they were just there to play some songs and teach you some stuff. We got to watch them for the whole period and they were really good.

ANYWAYSSS. WOOOOOT. THE CANUCKS WONNNN. 3-1 Daniel Sedins back and I think we could start winning some games. If the Kings could win 3 straight games then why can't we. We made some really good plays and Schneider did pretty well at net. Looking forward to next game. =). Lets hope we win all of the next 3 games. I'm sure we can do it.

Pre-IB

OMGGGGG
Today, some people were called down to the Pre-IB office and it turns out that they were accepted for Pre-IB. It was probably because there were some people that could get in but didn't want to. Andy, Kevin, and Tony all got in and they were really happy. But there's always two sides to things. Unfortunately not everyone in Synergy got in. *sigh* I hope they're still accepting tomorrow but it would be awesome of everyone got in. Especially Roy. He's smart and he deserves it more than anyone. It sucks to see people sad and I wish I could do something about it. If only it was a win-win situation for everyone then no one would feel left out or be depressed.

FIELDTRIPPPP

today we had a fieldtrip to Capilano University and it's pretty far from here. It's all the way in North Vancouver and it takes about a 45 minute drive. We went there to learn all about genes and we even got a chance to use some lab equipment there and work with DNA. It was quite interesting and it was pretty fun. Bad part was, after the fieldtrip, we have a test right after on everything we did and it's gonna be super hard. Some of the stuff that we did today was actually pretty hard to understand. Anyways, that was the 2nd fieldtrip of this year I believe and I'm hoping we get more in the future. Anyways though, I learnt a lot and I also got an aspect of what it was like to be in university. I think it's the first time I've ever been on a fieldtrip to a university. 

SUNNN RUNNNNN

I SURVIVED THE SUN RUNNNN. OMGGG and i'm sooo tired right now. There was alot of people. It was actually quite cold today. I expected it to be all sunny and hot today so I put sunscreen on and I brought my sunglasses and wore just the Sun Run t-shirt. In the morning, it was freezing and I expected it to get warmer by noon but it was just as cold. I stayed cloudy for the whole day so yea. The weather forecast lied. Anyways, I walked some and ran some and now my feet hurt. I walked ALOT today. After the Sun Run I skytrained back home and I went over to my friend's house then we went to Oakridge for lunch then we went back to their house and hung around a little. He showed me around his house and it was pretty nice and big. He even showed me his rabbits and they were sooo cute. I have some pictures below.

my friend's rabbit.



SUN RUNNNN

TOMORROWWW'S THE SUN RUNNN!!!!! Omg. It's gonna be my first Sun Run so I'm kinda excited. I'm really not sure what to expect tomorrow. From what I've heard, there's gonna be ALOT of people going tomorrow. I'm meeting up with some friends tomorrow at my house to go together so I won't feel so lonely. They're also running with me and I'm still deciding what our schedule for tomorrow will be. Wonder how many people there actually are tomorrow.

Anyways, today for Chinese school we had like our first in class unofficial fieldtrip. Well it wasn't really much of a fieldtrip. All we really did was like go outside and enjoy the sunshine and the teacher was like teaching us about nature and stuff because we were doing this unit on Spring and he wanted us to feel Spring. That was the first time in Chinese school where I've actually gone out. So yea. That was like a fieldtrip for me. If only we would do that more often. It was beautiful today. :)

Friday the 13th

Well todays Friday the 13th and it's just a beautiful gorgeous day. The skies were so blue and it was so sunny. I walked to school first thing this morning even though it was cloudy knowing it was gonna be a nice day. It's really getting hot these days. Yea. It felt a little like summer today.

Anyways, I'm kinda depressed right now because I've had a long day and the Canucks lost again. Omg. The Canucks played pretty bad today. After the game, it pretty much just ruined the day for me. I'm not in the mood to do anything right now and I just wanna forget everything that happened and just go to sleep. *sigh*. What if we lose the next two games... Then it's all over.

A Parallel Universe

Now that we're doing the research on quantum mechanics and the fact that I got the topic multiverses really got me wondering about parallel universes out there. I'm not sure if I really quite believe in it but wouldn't it be cool if there was actually a parallel universe? There would be another world with different people maybe wondering what's outside of their universe just like us wondering what's outside of ours. There might also be similar people in their universe from our universe. Wouldn't it be cool if there was another me on a different universe? I wonder how his life would be like. Would it be any better than my life here? It really makes me realize how much we don't know and how many universes there are out there. If there really is another person similar to me out there in another universe, I know you can't read this but I just wanted to say hi. :)

Block Rotation

it was block rotation again and honestly, I don't really like the rotation. For day 1s, I have Math all the way in the new wing and my locker's all the way on the other side so that means I have to walk all the way there. I was even late for Math today even though it was a collab. Turns out Ms. Knott's back which is good because she's a pretty good teacher and she's good at explaining stuff and I could actually understand her.

I don't think the day 2 block rotations are gonna be any better at all. I have Science first period and its all the way in the new wing just like Math and its a long walk from my locker to Science. That means I gotta get to school earlier which means I have to wake up earlier.

Oh My. I can't believe the Canucks lost. Horrible. 4-2. 

last collab of the year~

oh. my. goodness.
it's collab again. I think this rotation was gonna be pretty bad. Then again I'm not used to it and I don't really like change. Mostly day 1s are gonna be better just because I like day 1s more. Day 2s aren't gonna be that great. We have P.E. last period which is gonna be horrible because I would be all tired near the end of the day. At least it's a collab tomorrow.

Todayy my elementary friend was was passing by near my house and it turns out he longboards now. Apparently so do a lot of other people now who were from Jamieson that go to Eric Hamber. Some of them skateboard and some of them longboard but mostly longboard. It's kinda amazing. There was only like one person that skateboarded/longboarded when we were in elementary but now, there's like 7-8 people that skateboard/longboard and they're pretty good at it too. I think I should meet up with them sometime and skate together. It'll probably be loads of fun. 

Last dayy of the longg weekend

*sigh* last dayyy and I can't do much to enjoy it. Probably because I have violin lessons. Well at least I got to sleep in. Okay anyways, my teacher's done performing and he's back teaching me. Today, he finally started teaching me some Grade 7 songs soo I guess that means I'm considered Grade 7 violin now. If I'm not considered Grade 7 violin then I guess I'm at least Grade 6? I'm not sure but all I know is that I'm close to being Grade 8 violin. Once I'm done that and I pass the tests for it, I'll have reached my goal. Then maybe I could continue doing violin or try doing some other instruments. Depends what happens in the future.

Today was I about to get a haircut since it was a long weekend and I had a lot of free time so we went and it turned out that the barber was closed. So I guess I dont have to get shaved bald. Well not yet anyways. Maybe next week. I'm going to cherish my time with my beautiful hair while I still can. Hair. I'll miss you. <3

Happy Easter!!

Well today's Easter
doesn't really feel like Easter though. There really nothing special about today. There wasn't much Easter spirit anywhere. Sure there were some Easter sales and we got some days off school but it was just like any other regular Sunday. I actually spent most of today just researching about cancer for Science and finishing as much homework as I could. I did go out with my friend for like an hour or two just to get some fresh air and some exercise. We went to Oakridge for some fries then we went back home and gamed a little and went to practice some soccer like I did yesterday. I gotta get as much practice as I can.

I remember the Easters I've had before where I had sooo much fun. In elementary, I remember us as little kids going on Easter egg hunts. Obviously they weren't like real Easter eggs. They would be mini chocolate eggs. I also remember this other time for Art class, we got to paint our own eggs and yea. That was pretty dang fun. Easter just doesnt seem as special anymore.

Life.

I just realized that me being 14, I'm halfway to being 28. That kinda scares. Living through 14 years of my life having pass by in a blink of an eye scares me. In another blink of an eye I'll be done college and out working. Then whats after that? Now that I'm in like Grade 9, I just realized that next year, will be the middle of my high school years. I can't believe it's passing through so dang quickly. I never even really got to enjoy it. It's hard to enjoy high school while you study and do all your homework and projects and such. You only get one childhood in life and I'm gonna do my best to enjoy it. Only like 3-4 more years till I become an adult. Not much longer really. WHYYYYYYY. If only I could relive my childhood over and over again. If only life had a replay button. Hope they invent time travel soon.

Good Friday

GOOOOODDD FRIDAYYYYYYY
The weather was weird today. In the morning it was kinda cloudy and I thought it was raining. Then during about noon the weather started to turn nice and it was blue skies. Then there was a little bit of rain then it was nice again.

Even though the weather was weird, it was still a pretty nice day. First I had lunch with a friend of mine and then we went to marpole community centre to meet some friends for some basketball and hockey. I was going to play basketball but I was wearing jeans and it was pretty boring so I just decided to go back home and play some games. Then we decided to play some soccer at Jamieson and I changed into a t-shirt and some shorts. Thats when I finally realized that summer is almost here. It was pretty hot today. I think it's about the right time to start wearing my summer clothes. Time to get out more often and enjoy the summer breeze.

LONGG WEEKENDDD

finalllyyy
Easter's here. The long weekend is finally here. I've been waiting for this weekend ever since the start of school. *sigh*. Another 2 more days to relax. Isn't life just great? Well, then again, I have like 2 tests and like a presentation when I get back so it's not exactly freedom. At least tomorrow I get to hang out with my friends a little.

Today was another beautiful day. It wasn't so sunny this morning but in the afternoon, there were clear nice blue skies. I wish we had this kinda weather more often. It was pretty hot today too. When I had my french tutor, I was sitting beside the window and the sunshine was shining at my back so much it started to burn and my chair got heated up by the sunlight too. Hope tomorrow's another beautiful day so I could enjoy it as much as possible.

Beautiful Day

OMGGGG FINALLLLYYYYYY
a beautiful nice sunny day for once. I was in a good mood today. Just because it was it was soo sunny. I even decided to walk all the way to school. Also, we have like orienteering today and it was like perfect weather for it. Yea. I just can't stress how good of a mood I'm in today. Soooo yea. There really wasn't anything special that happened today. I just couldn't help staring out the window during English class because the sun was shining and the wind was blowing and all it reminded me of, were the beautiful summer days I've spent in elementary on the playground. There was this beautiful spot where I used to lay. I had some good memories associated around that area. It was my childhood spot and I remember one day I sat there on a clear blue day with these cherry blossom trees and I've never felt so calm or relaxed in my whole entire life before. It was memorable and that's what today felt like to me. it brought back some memories. *sigh* oh the good ol' days of elementary. I really wish I would stop growing up. 

planning for the summer

soooo today and my friend started planning for the summer and what we're gonna do.
We had some plans for going to Hong Kong on the same flight and heading there together. Honestly, I think it would be pretty fun but I would miss laying my head on my mom's shoulder. It's just so comfortable and I end up sleeping for hours in that position. It'll probably be different travelling with my friend. We planned some stuff we were gonna do in Hong Kong too. We were gonna do some shopping and walk around Hong Kong for a bit. Then we would maybe bring my friend along for some wakeboarding with my dad and finally, we might go to Ocean Park which is a pretty famous amusement park there. It sounds like a pretty exciting plan but I really doubt it's gonna happen. It's mostly because my auntie's pregnant and she's having her baby around summertime so my parents and my grandparents have to take care of her so I'm really not sure if I could be going to Hong Kong. If I don't I guess I'll just stay here for the summer and skateboard some and hang out with my friends some and game some. Soooo yea. Those are pretty much what I have for now. Summer's almost here. Can't wait to kick off and relax. I can't believe I'm going to Grade 10 next year. Thats like the middle of high school. already.

science testtt

OMGGGG SPENT ALL OF LAST NIGHT STUDYING FOR SCIENCE.
Right now I just wanna lay on my bed and sleep like a baby. Anyways, I had a long day. The science test wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I studied for it but like some of the stuff was actually pretty dang hard. Some of the stuff was just plain confusing.

My violin lessons got cancelled today again so my friend Simon came over to play some PS3 and skate a little. He's really really good at skateboarding now. I remember a year ago at the start of Grade 8 when he just started skateboarding and now, he's just so good. It's kinda cool seeing him doing all these tricks. He's a pretty quick learner considering he only skated for a year and a half. He's doing a pretty good job of teaching me new stuff right now. Hope I could be as good as him someday. =)

Whiskey

today I found out my dog came back alive.
I was just having my regular Sundays watching some TV. It was quite beautiful today too. I got a phone call from the pet hospital and it turns out Whiskey didn't actually die. I was all excited and I asked my dad to drive me there right away. When suddenly, we drove too quickly and we ran over some people and smashed right into a tree. We were both fine but we decided that the dog was more important so knowing the pet hospital was a block away, we left the car and ran down the street. I finally got to see Whiskey and we reunited. I have never been so happy in my life. We went home together as one big happy family.

oh and uhh. Happy April Fools =)

chinese school

soooooo its saturday and I have chinese school again. It's horrible because we have an exam. Not like those weekly ones but the big ones that count for like 20% of your mark. Anyways, I did bad just like usual. I didn't really get much time to prepare for it because I was pretty busy. Also, when I got to class, it turns out our old teacher came back. I kinda missed the other lady. She was really nice but anyways, the old teacher was gone because it turns out a relative of his passed away. It's kinda sad hearing him talk about it because it just reminded me of my dog. Welcome back i guess... I'm gonna miss the lady but the old teacher's pretty nice too.

ANDYS BIRTHDAYYYYYYY

HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO YOUUUUUUUUUU
HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAAAAYYYY TOOOOOOOOO YOUUUUUUUU
HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAYYYY TOOOOOOOOO ANDYYYYYYYYYYYYY
HAPPPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY TTOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Happy 15th birthdayyy Andyyy. Hope you have a great one. Also, hope you enjoyed my birthday card. I had some pretty valuable stuff for my present to him. I gave him a battery, some tissue, some of my hair, a penny, 10 dollars, a blackhead strip, 20 Hong Kong dollars, and a pack of gum. He seemed pretty happy about it I guess.

Pretty good day. Best part of my day was math. I LOVEEEEE MATHHHH. I was listening to some music with my friend and it felt a little like heaven.

Omg I'm tired and I also have a chinese exam tomorrow. I should go to bed. Night.

Tears

If you didn't know, my auntie used to be the owner of Whiskey. She loves dogs and she bought him a little before I was born. She grew up with him but doesn't live with us anymore. Anyways, she's been about 8 weeks pregnant and she had no idea Whiskey died. We tried to avoid telling her because if she knew, she would break down and cry for days and that could upset the pregnancy so we decided to keep it a secret. It was working until my parents told my sister about it and she went crying and then she posted how Whiskey died all on Facebook and now our auntie knows. She just called me today to explain everything since I was the closest to the dog and now she's crying like crazy. After she heard, she just posted this:

Whiskey

1997-2012

Was hoping to see you this Summer, but I guess you needed to go. 

Thanks for being a great listener and a great companion.

Its a pretty sweet picture. I'll miss you Whiskey.

Buskerfest Singing.

today was another rainy day. I can't believe its raining for like this whole week.

Anyways. today we started our singing from class to class for Buskerfest to raise money and it was kinda awkward. Just a little I guess. We went to 3 classes in total. The first one we went to were the Synergy 8s. That went pretty well I suppose. Then after that, we went to Ms. Greskiw's class. I guess that was the one that was actually awkward. It was probably because they were Grade 9s and I knew some of the people there. It went okay but not many people donated. Finally we went to Mr. Martin's class and he had the Pre-IBs. It actually went pretty well that time. We got a decent amount of donations and there was one person that was generous enough to donate a 5 dollar bill. We did a good job for our first time.
