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.
