Welcome to my blog!
I hope you enjoy it. I'm sorry if i do not keep up with it all the time. I have a tendancy of going through phases. I will start a blog and then forget about it for awhile and then come back to it later, when i remember it. I will try to keep up with it as much as possible.

I am a big people person. Most of the time I need to be around people.
I love my friends to death. I don't know what I would be without them.
I love to take pictures.
I love to make videos.
I love creative writing.
I am learning guitar.
I love music.
I love to bake/cake decoating.
I have an obsession with notes and lists.
I talk way to much.
My cell phone is my LIFE.

so i just got back from my day in whistler.
it was so much fun! i enjoyed it so much.
i went with just my family and 3 others from my hall. we started later then we had planned, but when we eventually started it was worth it.
we decided to take the easier route then we usually go, so we went much faster then we usually go. the weather was alright. it was pretty cold and it spit a little, and i didnt have a jacket or a proper sweater and i was wearing shorts, so i wasnt neccissarily prepared properally for it, but i was fine, cuz you get hot bike riding. so it was good. i love the feeling of the wind as it blows against your skin when you are going really fast. i was usually ahead of everyone, and if i was ever behind i usually caught up. it was so much fun! i want to go back again in the summer and with more of my frineds, cuz i think they would really like it. i really hope that it will work out.
after the bike ride we went out for lunch/dinner at the old spagetti factory. really yummy food. i got full so fast, even tho the whole entire bike ride i was so hungry. but it was really yummy food. i got french onion soup and penne chicken and then ice cream that came with the meal for dessert. :D
on the way back from whistler we stopped at brandy wine falls. it was really nice. i got some pretty good pics, cuz it was raining and it looked so good with all the umbrellas. now i want to edit some, cuz it think they will look really cool. :D on the walk back me and my bro attacked each others with umbrellas and then my bro ended up breaking his. :P
thats pretty much how my day went. so much fun, even tho it was rainy and cold, but it was lots of fun. and i loved being outdoors, especially whistler. so pretty up there.

i remember the time when we first met
it was my second meeting
you bounced up to me with one of those sticky hands
i was talking to someone
i was really shy when i first met you

i remember the first time i found out where you lived,
at my first meeting a sister told me that a family lived right near us
we were told that it was a white house with a white picket fence
when we drove home from the meeting we looked for your house
first we thought it was the corner house on the corner of 68th and adera

i remember when i first saw your dad
we were driving by your house,
and he waved to us
i saw your dad before i saw you

i remember once when we had a sleepover
we stayed up really late
the next day we went out in service with my family
i was so tired that i got sick
we ended service early
you came over to hang out
but i was too tired
so i lay on the couch watching tv
but then i fell asleep on the couch
when i woke up you were wearing my purple corduroy pants
you loved them
i hated them

i remember our first day of school together
we were in different classes
ms. oakley asked if kerri would hang out with me at lunch
but i rejected it and told her that i had a friend in the other class that i was going to hang out with at lunch you had made a friend, that we hung out with

i remember the time when we had our first congregation pot luck party
you wanted to borrow one of my shirts
i let you borrow one of my favourite pink shirts that tied up in the back
you never returned that to me

i remember the book studys at your house
i remember one time after the book study we went up to your room and listened to aaron carter - aaron's party
you were dancing all over the room and i was just watching you
you tried to get me to sing and dance but i was too shy

i remember when you had the going away party for asias family
that was the time i first met the tings
we decided to get one of the guys and put him in a chair
we tried to put make up on him
it didnt work
we only got body spray on him
and maybe some lip stick
i cant remember
i think it may have been my brother or jr

i remember all the things your house has been through
i remember what the basement used to look like

i rememeber the first and last time i ever did kereoke
it was in your basement in the old bedroom, next to the kitchen
you had the big dresser with the tv in it
jooyong had set up his kereoke machine
you wanted me to sing kereoke
but i refused
you finally got me to sing kereoke with you and asia
we sang quit playing games with my heart by backstreet boys

i remember the time when you showed me your autographed celine dion picture
i remember our camping trip to chirstina lake
that was the best camping trip ever
i remember once when we were walking back from the lake
it was raining a little
we were walking up the big hill from the lake in our baithing suits and just towels around us
then a big bug of some sort starting flying around us and we started freaking out

i remember the time when we wanted to sing lean on me in the talent show at school
i was so shy that i couldnt sing
we ended up getting one of the girls to sing while i lip synced the song
we ended up bailing out

i miss our lazy days spent watching family chanel
i miss our lazy days spent surfing the tv
i miss our sleepovers staying up all night watching movies
i miss our sushi lunches
i miss dairy queen trips
i miss our bike rides
i miss being followed by our brothers with you
i miss the summer nights with your family
i miss your hot tub
i miss slurpees with you
i miss getting in trouble for staying at your house to late
i miss summer nights on your truck
i miss the unplanned sleepovers
i miss living at your house
i miss your house
i miss your family

i miss you <3

today was just like any other day, except that it was a collabrative day, so it was a late start day.
as we are driving to school i am reading the day text but then all of a sudden i feel the van pull over to the side. i look up from the day text to see that my mom has pulled over at the bus stop. then i see my friend coco pick up her bags and jump into the car. i quickly finish reading the text, but no one is listening anymore, but i still finish it for myself, as my mom is talking to coco. for the rest of the ride to school i play the radio and my mom continues to talk to coco. my mom drops us off at school and we are 10 minutes early. when we enter the school we go strait to my locker and then we join charlsie. just as i sit down next to her the bell goes. i then wait there a minute and then finally decide to get up to class. we take the elevator up to the third floor. as we are walking to the elevator we see our friend katie. we ask her if she would like to join us in the elevator but she declines because she has a class on the floor we are one, second. as we are waiting for the elevator we talk to her to kill time, then the elevator doors open and we enter it still talking to katie. as the doors are closing katie enters the elevator. when we exit the elevator we meet steven going to english class. then me, charlsie, and coco leave steven and katie to go to tourism class.
the rest of my day was not to exciting, not that my morning was anything exciting either.
in the afternoon i had my earth science test on the solar system. the EASIEST test i have ever taken. i did it in like 10 minutes. after the test i took out my mp3 player and listened to rise against, nickelback, and faber drive while reading "facing the lion". after everyone had finished the test my teacher handed out a sheet of paper with an assignment that involved us going outside and describing the atmosphere outside. after she explained it to us the class went outside. most of us ended up going off into pairs. i ended up working with nina, josh joined us for a bit, but then we lost him. after we were done outside it was next class.
food was my next class. in foods today we had to make some sort of greek chicken phyllo thing with almond rice. it was so good. since i dont know what it was called i will descibe it to you.
the chicken was: chicken breast with caramellized onions and fresh basil, feta cheese, mozza cheese, and a spinach leaf wrapped in phyllo. so delicious. it tasted like spanidacopita with chicken in it. so amazingly good. the rice was pretty much just flavoured rice that we added almonds too. really good too, but the chicken was so good!
foods class was entertaining, as always. everyone was a bit slow today, because it was shorter classes, so most of us had to stay after school for a bit. we had to stay and extra 8 minutes because our chicken had to still cook, but so worth it. :)
when i got home from school i got a call from irina, confirming if we are going to go bike riding today. after the phone call finished up my chicken stuff and then switched into my pe shorts and got out my bike. i still had some time to kill before irina got to my place so i checked my facebook. as i was on facebook irina walks in the door.
when she got to my place we tried to convince my brother to come with us, but he didn't want to come with us. so we made a deal that we would go around the block and see if he would wanna come with us then. so we went around the block and came back to my house. irina went into the house to see if my brother would come with us now, but she came out empy-handed. we decided to go to queen elizabeth park. it was a great bike ride. it was balanced well. the right amount of flat, down hill and up hill. it was my first time going in a few weeks. i love bike riding. i could bike ride for hours if i wanted. there are so many things i love about biking; 1) its good excercise, 2) you get to see lots of beautiful scenery, 3) so much faster then walking, 4) you get to feel the cool breeze of the wind when you go down hill, or really fast, and 5) it is relaxing but challanging.
when we got to queen e park we walked through the park. so beautiful! now one of my favourite places in vancouver. i have never had a favourite place to go too, but i think queen elizabeth park, the bridge is going to be my favourite place, now that i know how to get there.
when we got home we ate a lukewarm dinner. it wasnt very hot becuase it had been sitting for awhile, and i didnt bother to reheat my dinner. then irina helped my mom with some sort of computer program stuff and then i walked with irina to 7-11 to get slurpees, but we departed at 7-11, because irina needed to go home, and i needed to do homework, which by the way i still need to do. i hanvt started yet.

so ta ta for now

hmmm.... where to begin? where to begin?

today i went to school. had to present my socials commercial. that was pretty lame. it wasn't as good as everyone else's. mine had mostly pictures, so it was pretty much just a slide show with us talking on it, and then a few random filmed parts.
we had to create one of those 1-minute heritage commercials, that you see on tv. about our canadian history. the classes were pretty funny, because the acting was so bad, but they were so much better then ours. but our commercial wasnt so bad. we ended up scrating the idea of doing the election. it ended up being just a video of reading letters that r.b. bennett had recieved and replied to secretly, and then just saying a bunch of random facts about r.b. bennett. it was so bad, but we couldve done so much better, then we did. :s
then after socials i had marketing, which we had to do our apprentice projects.
our apprentice projects are just like the show apprentice, with donald trump. my teacher has set up the apprentice in my class for the whole year. so now we are down to the last 5 ppl to be fired, and i am one of the last 5. i really hope i can win cuz we actually get prizes for winning. we get either 5% or 5 marks bonus. i think its 5%. and we get 2 free cineplex movie passes and a box of chocolates. its sweet. i really hope i can win, cuz i really need the extra 5%. i am doing so badly in marketing this year. its horrible. i am slacking so much.
after marketing was lunch and i did my watchtower during the lunch hour. exciting stuff!
then i had english and that was pretty boring. right now we are doing seminars on catcher in the rye. seminars are pretty much the class split up into groups and each group has to teach the class for 25 min on a certain topic that they were given. ive already done my seminar. we were the first group to go. our topic was: what are the issues that holden deals with? how do these issues compare to our school. it was a pretty hard topic actually cuz it kinda led into the other groups topic of depression. and our class is so hard to teach to cuz no one wants to participate.
after english i had yearbook, which isnt really yearbook anymore, cuz we are done the book. so now it is really just a spare. but what totally sucks is that its last block and we cant just leave and go home, we have to stay the ENTIRE BLOCK! its pretty lame, but its kinda good for me cuz then i get my hmwk done. cuz i never do my hmwk at home. kinda ironic how i do my HOMEwork at SCHOOL and not at HOME. but whatever i dont really care. im passing all my courses. thats all that really matters.
so then after school i had to go to work. not much exciting stuff there. i kept messing up everything tho. none of the codes would work or nothing would scan or i couldnt type or i kept droping things or i couldnt hear things. i was so out of it. and then they made me work and extra hour. but i didnt really mind so much cuz i really need hours. safeway never gives me work. im thinking of applying to starbucks for the summer, cuz i need to make money so badly. i need to save up to get a car. i dont care of bad it is. lol. i jsut need a car, so i dont have to drive my van! and also so i can drive places, cuz we never have our van anyways, cuz my dad always takes it to work. but i need to get a car, even if it is as crappy as jordans. lol. just as long as it runs and gets me places, and lets me practice how to drive i am good. :)
after work, now i am here. not much to tell. my life i really exciting!
amazing how my life is not that exciting but i can still write about it.
i talk way to much. but thats kinda why i write blogs/journals. instead saying to everyone, i can just keep a blog and put it all in full detail and not have to worry about repeating myself thinking that i may have forgetton something.
well i gotta start getting ready for bed. trying to get in a better sleeping pattern here. not working out so well.

Hey everyone!
So I just got an email from one of my friends inviting me to her blog. It reminded me that I had one too, but I had totally forgot about it. So now I am back in the mood of blogging, and I was thinking of inviting you all to the blog I had already had, but I decided to start a new one just for friends to read.

I have invited you to read this blog, but you really don't have to read it if you don't want. I wont be offended if didn't read it, but I've opened it up to you if you want.
