JUNE RUSH - !


dun dun dun...
The moment of truth has come. What truth you ask? UNITS ARE FINALLY DUE - which determines whether you fail or not; summer school or carry over. Excited? You should be! HA HA HA! No i'm am just joking. But in all honesty, this is the most stressful time of the year! Don't you agree? Well, most people don’t expect this time of the month to hit them, THIS QUICKLY. Especially those in grade nine. Do not hate on me, because you know what? I was OBVIOUSLY in grade nine too. So I know how you all feel. Well, doesn’t it make you think “Why was I slacking off this whole year? Now I got to write a SHOOT LOAD of tests!!” Yeaaaaah, I know how you feel. How stressful can it really be? Well, I shall tell you how stressful it is! It's so stressful that you feel stressed even when YOU ARE ON TRACK! HOW INSANE IS THAT?! It just blows your mind away knowing how many tests you have to write or the all nighters that you must pull off. All those tired students sleeping on the busses in the morning and after school.
Long line ups in areas all around the school. When will it ever end? It won't, at least I don't feel it will.
There will always be students slacking off in the beginning or the middle of the year and then realizing in June that they might not be able to pass their courses. It is quite sad because once you look back at all the units you've finished during the June rush, you see how that if you worked this hard throughout the year, you probably could've done early exams? fast tracked for heavens sake?
But no, even throughout our four years at Ward, if you choose to stay that long, we tend to end up in the same position sometimes at the end of the year.
And when you're stressed but on track, at least you're on track, right? Better than being stuck in line for a test. When during that time you can really be finishing up other units.
It is definitely nearing the end of our school year; whether you end up failing, going to summer school, carry over, or fifth year, we all should have learned our lesson by now, no slacking - especially at Ward.

IM SORE FROM SNOWBOARDING







I honestly have some FETISH now for snowboarding. But now the winter year is coming to an end... maybe? It should be ! But SNOWBOARDING ! GAHHH! I miss it, it's like some sport I fell in love with, but it's as if we have like some 'winter fling'.
wink wink ;)
I was honestly nervous, and kinda scared of hurting myself when I thought of snowboarding. It always pulled me back knowing that there are SO MANY PROS out there. But sometimes, you got to just get over your fear. BE FEAR! Look fear in the face and say, I'M NOT SCARED OF YOUR UGLY FACE !
It took a lot of "talking to myself" to get me into learning how to snowboard, but I did it. And amazingly, I am not only going towards this with my fear of trying snowboarding, but also fear of doing anything in general. As much as say, YOU GOT TO FACE YOUR FEARS! It's not that easy. And I know a whole bunch of you know how I feel. Fear. That's some scary stuff isn't it?
But the only person who can really help you face it is yourself. Yeah, really, others can give you advice; others can push you to go and just do it. But the person who will act on it is only you. You have all the control in the world to make yourself do what you do in life. You just got to face it and say to yourself: "I can do it."
I can definitely say that I was SO SCARED of going back to snowboarding for the second time. I just felt that the last time I DIDN'T DO WELL AT ALL! The worst thing to do for me is to give up. At times I do want to give up, I blame it all on my fears. It pulls me back, not wanting to try again. The humiliation of people laughing at me scares me, but for once, when I fell off to the side, onto my back, or even onto my face, I got up and kept on going until I finished snowboarding all the way to the end of the hill.
and guess what? I was happy;
I was happy that I finished the run; and I was extremely happy knowing that every time I went up the lift and snowboarded down the hill, I improved a little more. And that's my goal, to get better and to finally get over my fear.
So if you think you honestly can't do it, THINK AGAIN ! You can do it if you believe, (may sound corny), BUT IT'S TRUE! Whether you suck at it or are extremely good... you still did it ! :) So be happy about it, because you did something rather than not doing it at all.



Major... DEADLINES !

It's about time that I start on this blog. I got to sit in my chair, type a journal entry... but then I realize that there are a lot of units to finish for school. How will I do them all at once?! In December, Christmas break, a time for presents and family, i am still stressed about university deadlines. I am at the point of exploding out of my mind! "Got to keep my marks up, UNIVERSITIES DEPEND ON IT!" It is one thing getting accepted to the university you want (and I must say, that scares me SO MUCH!), but another to just keep your marks up by, and after, exams. Anyone freaking out yet? Sorry to burst your bubble in a time of presents, spending time with family, and a big fat man wearing a red suit saying "ho, ho, ho!". At a time like this, maybe I shouldn't be spreading around my school worries to others on the Christmas Break. Hence 'break'. What a break this is... if only Santa could give me free units for Christmas! That just shows how lazy I am right now, how pathetic. With a bit of cheer and sarcasm, I must say, I am a great motivation towards myself. I hope everyone is doing well on their units, no matter how stressful it all is. With all these, or just the one in January, upcoming university deadlines and application forms that are either coming in early or later, I must say that I feel like it's a little bit more stressful than I thought. Especially with my dad hoping that I will get a really good scholarship. Right up until now, I was happy that its getting closer to the end of the year which means, G-R-A-D-U-A-T-I-O-N, graduation! I was so ready to submit my application form, so ready for whatever life brings to me after high school, but it is not that simple. To those who think it's easy, you are so lucky to feel that way. I am extremely scared about keeping my marks up, or rather, seeing them lower after exams. What happens if you get an early acceptance, and then you accept the universities offer, but then your marks go down... wouldn't that suck? Being at a self directed school, with an exceptionally non-stop streak of 18 units, it could be difficult. Especially if you are behind. Making good quality units but getting them in time for target dates... now that can be a handful. In the heat of the moment, as I finish up this article for the first entry of my blog, it makes me realize so much: I only got 2 weeks left to catch up, so little time, but a whole LOT of units.



Relationships, what popularity it can give. [or not]

Strawberries are great aren't they? But enough about that, have you ever thought of relationships, and i mean COUPLES, to be EVERYWHERE, whether you're single or not? Such a problem to so many men and women in the world. I love you, you love me, who can tell if they mean it? I am not "hating" on couples, i have one of my own. Now my point is, There are so many emotions in relationships that it can make a RAINBOW ! You be the judge. Sometimes i see cases where if you have never had a relationship with the opposite sex, or even the same sex, that you are so 'inexperienced'. I DENY THAT STATEMENT! So what? So what if you haven't had a boyfriend or girlfriend during highschool or even in the later years of elementary, what gives people the right to say you are, with lack of better definition, 'NOOB', in the relationship world? I don't think they have ANY RIGHT! Everyone, and i mean E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E has that time in their life when they have their first relationship. Whether it was really early, like age 12; or later on, like age 22. No matter, it's up to you. It's up to how you see yourself in the, what i shall continue to call, 'the relationship world'. Popularity, fame, and the need to be KNOWN AND LOVED by your fellow human beings has consumed the true characteristics of relationships: the deep care for one another. What has the stereotype of people using other people for their own selfish needs done to people? They create fear, hatred, and even MORE fear of ever going into a relationship ever again. Even so, don't be afraid, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Be happy everyone! I don't mean to make you sad and miserable about the downsides of relationships, because there are definitely good sides and you can't forget that. Remember the good times, the positive things that can come out of a great relationship. Not all relationships are used for selfish needs; be the man, or be the woman, who actually cares about who they are with. Be thoughtful, be thankful for that great person who you are so lucky to have because there is only one of them. And even if you do not have that "special someone" with you now, WHO CARES ! Love life, love the relationships you have now with family and friends who truly care about you too. We only get to live life once, make the best of what you have now and work for your future, only good can come out of the positive, love filled, vibes you let out to everyone.

world issues - what are we doing wrong?

As you all may, or should know, Tamils all around are furious about the genocide being implemented in their home country. Hundreds of Tamils are staying up late protesting against our Canadian government in order to urge them to do something about it. I personally think this is all just horrible. Not their protesting, and blocking up down town roads, but the fact that genocides are still happening. We used to, and still say, we should learn from our mistakes. But do we really? Seeing how most people in this world seem to be completely heartless, some times things are ALWAYS bound to go wrong. Now don't get me wrong, this is purely based on my own opinion and how I have witnessed all this. But is it wrong to mention that whether they were Tamil or not, there is a violation of our human rights happening in the 21st century? Not that things aren't bound to go wrong, or people aren't going to try to do something BAD, it's just, shouldn't we by now have experienced, witnessed enough to at the least have better action plans? I am not questioning our government, per say, I am just basically setting down the thoughts of people looking from the outside in. As of any problems in the world, whether personal or not, there has got to be a definite point for change. As of everyone should agree, new beginnings only happen when something else ends. DO THE RIGHT THING !

ANIME NORTH '09 - i know, i can't deny it.

Chobits, Final Fantasy, CLOUDE STRIFE[AKA final fantasy] ! <3
Blah blah, I know, I LOVE ANIME! I am not a SUPER FANATIC over it but I did go to the extravagant anime north weekend. Well, I only went on Sunday. And man did I not expect what was coming. LOADS AND LOADS of anime merchandise being sold there. What surprised me was seeing INDIANA JONES ACTION FIGURES being sold [aka blooper note: I wrote INDIAN JONES before I edited it just now, funny FUNNY!]. I was like.. (WHAT THE HECK)! serious, f'real! I did have an enjoyable time seeking different anime DVD'S and dolls to buy. But honestly. ... THEY WERE TOO EXPENSIVE!!! (OH MY GOSH) like, I was angry. PRETTY disappointed. But hey, there's pmall? (LAUGH MY BEHIND OFF) It was all worth it; cooling off with THOUSANDS of ice cream trucks lined outside of the Toronto Congress Centre. Yes, that was where it was held, as a matter of fact. Tons of what you call, cosplayers, were outside - either dancing or taking pictures. What is a cosplayer you may ask? Well, they are ones who choose to dress up as one of their favourite anime/cartoon characters. I did see a pikachu! :) But I have only one advice to everyone who chooses to cosplay during this time - either cosplay to the FULLEST, or don't cosplay at all. =P SERIOUSLY! Some costumes looked really good, and others looked half done. Meaning, NOT GOOD LOOKING AT ALL! I am honestly going to confess that I am going to cosplay next year. And in order to not look F-UGLY, i shall work on it this whole summer! How exciting!!!! :D:D
It was really fun, especially because I went there with my friends. I know my friends at Ward are like, “WHAT? WHO? WHEN? HUH?” But don’t fret! You weren’t the friends who went, I had others OUTSIDE of ward. Surprised? Well, you are very mean. But yeah, I have friends… T_T [sigh, im so cool aren’t I? J]
It was really crowded there though, and the only thing I did buy was TWO PACKS OF POCKEY! =D Ohh yeaah, LIKE A BOWSSS!
Well, one of my life long interests have been revealed?!
Never knew I loved anime? Well you do now, don't judge me! :)
