7/1/06The End: A Reflective endingSo, I realize that my last entry was nearly a year ago....and that was so I thought my last entry...But, I think a nice formal finish would be better.This blog's lasted me through most of high school, so I think I'll end my blog appropriately with my high school career as well.The last four years of my life have been quite the roller coaster. Cliche though it

7/26/05Wow...I haven't posted here in awhile...Well update on my life since June 12th..I'm right now in Meaford learnin' the ropes of the army, that's pretty much it.Too lazy and want to do other stuff so that's my post.Bye.

6/12/05Hello blogger...It's times like these venting really helps I find.Just tonight I got phone call I'm in reserves. Problem is I might be in training for whole summer, meaning I miss hoop-it-up, which means I may have to ditch a couple of people. These people are really supportive of me though which is awesome, so I know they'll understand if I decide to not play this year.It's times like

6/5/05I think this week was probably the first time in my life I've felt real stress come upon me...It really sucks. I mean, everything around me just seems to be grey; has no colour or life. Stress really does kill your day, and your mind I've found out in the past couple of days. It's also observable from others. Going to church today many people pointed out the lack of energy I have, in

5/31/05Well hello blogger,I haven't posted in awhile I realize; that being mainly because I've been really busy lately. Tonight our Centennial Hall concert was on, and I just got home only 20 minutes ago. It was quite the spectacular event. Brass quintet and jazz band did really well (I play trombone in both =)), and i really enjoyed listening to chamber orchestra. The songs were long, but very

5/15/05Catching up on the writing...Whew...It's been awhile since I've typed an actual entry. I mean typing one in Chicago was quite meaningless.....but I had to kill time, and the computer was RIGHT there...So.....couldn't resist =P.Anyways so now life's been quite fast-moving. With school coming to a close in a month or so, and the tension surrounding my job acceptance into the Reserves, yeah

2005-05-07T21:24:00.000-04:00

5/7/05Yes, I'm definitely right now in Chicago....Nerding it up on the hotel's business centre.I come back tomorrow.Moo.This is what I do to kill time while waiting for Blue Man Group...uh...group to leave; sit on blogger.com and also check my email. Karen's on MSN...how nerdy.I realize the contradiction.Leave.

4/26/05Indicators that the end of another school year is approaching:-NBA playoffs begin *Go Rockets!*-Binders are falling apart-Textbooks are slowly falling apart-I lose my pencil for the 4th or 5th time this year; this time for good-My binders are being held together by duct tape.-Church english congregation gets a bit smaller as UWO students leave for home-Kiwanis is approaching its end for

4/15/052 more weeks until Chicago!Yes...After yesterday's Chicago meeting at school, the only thing it really does is indicate just how close the trip really is. 2 more weeks and I'll be on an 8 hour bus ride on the Purple Bus with Shaunvir, Christian and them playing Mao, watching various movies and probably I'll introduce "A B C D" t o them. Too bad Karen won't be on the Purple bus to pwn0rize

2005-04-08T16:11:00.000-04:00

4/8/05Ahh....Ok so my whole week wasn't totally blah. Today I think made up for the bombed test, and the lackage of sleepage.It all started with an enjoyable class in biology, where we are starting to learn about genetics and stuff (my favourite in bio). This day marks only another month or so until we begin my true passion of biology...Evolution >=).....the most controversial course in my

2005-04-07T23:18:00.000-04:00

4/7/05Ok, so quick sum up of my week....which has been quite dismal:-Monday: Symphony, Jazz, 4.5 hours of sleep.-Tuesday: Senior band, english quiz, math review, 4.5 hours of sleep.-Wednesday: Saw fashion show (which is probably at the moment the highlight of my week), crammed for math, and didn't go to theory (Mrs. Mitsis is going to pwnz0r t3h theory). 7 hours of sleep.-Thursday: Bombed math

2005-04-03T23:40:00.000-04:00

4/3/05Ok, so today at church somehow we got to the question of how the now commonly-seen "heart shape" came from.So, to satisfy this hunger for the origin of the heart shape, I googled, and got this: "The traditional heart symbol, with its deep cleft, looks very little like a real heart. Unconsciously, it seems to have been based more on the shape of the naked female buttocks, as seen by an

4/1/2005April's showers bring pwnage remaining school year =)Ahh yes....March is gone, there's no more winter, and I am now able to break out my shorts and sandals again. The sweet signs of spring, and eventual summer. I love it =). I actually usually don't mind winter, just that this year's winter was so on and off it just got annoying, so that's why this year's winter sucked. Plus I didn't make

3/27/051st Year Anniversary for a Couple of Things...I actually didn't notice until after fellowship today...and after Steph told me...But today marked the 1st anniversary since her baptism, and also marked the 1st anniversary of Lina startin' to come to church. When I actually thought about it....It's been a year already.It doesn't seem like it at all. I mean I still remember the day Steph got

2005-03-21T21:45:00.000-05:00

3/21/05Ok....So today was probably the longest day I've had of school in my entire life. Day started at 7am with Symphony Orchestra, and ended at 9pm with Jazz band. In the middle of the day shoved between these two musical buns....-School-being cut from badminton this year-Dinner with Shaunvir, Christian and themYeah, so I got cut from badminton. I know, c'est trés crappy. But I mean there was

3/20/05Happy 16th DANYO! and MICHO!March 20th is the day when two twins Mike and Dan step up another year from 15 to 16. Wonder which one will get their G1 first....Ok....So.....Today after church, Dan and Mike drove Calvin, Catherine *Brescia's sis came to church today which was pretty cool* and I to meet up with other people at Wonder Sushi. It was quite the exciting time, and I now know that

3/17/04Return from Toronto...NoooI could have stayed longer...But badminton was calling me .....>.>Just kidding. Really I had nothing else to do out there seeing I was just out there 2 weeks ago, so I've got a lot done now.This week was quite awesome. Of course there was TC which was really good, but also just the time we spent at Dave's place chilling was also a blessing. So where to start? Hmm.

2005-03-12T00:40:00.000-05:00

3/12/05Once again more thinkingSince school isn't on mind right now....other things of life are.So while waiting for my hair to dry on a Saturday night, and talking on MSN, someone said something to me that I've actually known for awhile:I seem to put down myself a lot and also maybe sometimes set myself up for an insult.But the thing is....is that really a bad thing? I mean, it's not like I have

2005-03-09T23:01:00.000-05:00

3/9/05Ok, so I haven't written anything too important in this blog for awhile....Well the thing is nothing too exciting has come about.So while doing my chemistry, I thought I'd stop and write something. I'm doing this mainly because I'm getting bored of it, and this homework is easy.March break is coming up in a matter of two days. You know what that means....So now it's TC 2005 in a matter of a

3/6/05Toronto this week, Toronto next weekAhh....so I've returned from Jazz Band's trip to the T.O....and am I tired now.Basically I'm not going to explain THAT much about the week, as for the most part there is far too much to explain, but for the most part it was a blast. If you want to see pictures, some links shall follow:My own little albumMusic Department PicsI'm going to go and put up the

3/1/05Ok....Semi pics it is....Pfft...So Photobucket automatically resizes GEEZ I'm stupid....And so here are some of the pics from Semi 2005 that I took. I would have taken more, but I really hate my camera, because it's friggin' humungous, and it feels like I'm pulling out a bomb or bazooka when I take it out >.>....Anyways, after finally figuring out photobucket resizes automatically, and

2005-03-01T21:56:00.000-05:00

3/1/05Hello March....March is the indications of many things:For one, it's now the time of the year where days are longer, and depression isn't as much as an issue as it is in January. It is also an indication that we are now a bit over halfway through the school year, and we only have to suffer for another 70-80 days and then it's over. March also is a sign that winter is over, and spring should

2005-02-26T19:24:00.000-05:00

2/26/050.5-Formality Dance...w00t.Yup....That's basically it.I'm off to the semi-formal now. I'll hopefully post up pictures or something...that is if i decide to actually carry my camera around...It's times like these that I hate technology. My camera weighs a friggin' ton and it's so thick compared to the new d-cams. Why couldn't I wait....WHY >_<.

2005-02-25T22:51:00.000-05:00

2/25/05Semi tomorrow! I'm cashed up again.......Well not as much seeing I spent $140 on just 2 formal shirts and a tie tonight. So now I be down a bit in money again haha.So what's happened since my last post?Well this week has been quite easy, with only 2 tests but they weren't too concerning. The most excited thing obviously would probably be Semi-Formal tomorrow. Oi I can't believe that I

2005-02-19T23:36:00.000-05:00

2/19/05ALLL STAR WEEKEND.....WAAAH.....WOW.Before anything else I'd just like to say Stoudemire's dunk off the backboard off Nash's head and in was probably THE MOST creative dunk I've ever seen....As for today....So it's been one of the longest Saturday's of the year for me. So I started my day off by volunteering at Ark Aid with the rest of HYPE. So went to pick up Linda and Jason, then bought

2005-02-19T00:03:00.000-05:00

2/19/05It is done....Dear piano, You've been owned. Joe.Now then....as for the rest of my day....slacked off at home and badminton'd with Josh and Lina and Jane. Also.... That's right...I'm nerdy.

2005-02-16T15:36:00.000-05:00

2/16/05YES Thank Goodness for Early DismissalYes......Early dismissal day is so good.So happy that today was one. I really needed one. These last few nights I've been averaging crap for sleep so I was pretty happy when today was an early dismissal. Only one more day of school for me, since I have my piano exam Friday *crammage for that.* As for what's happened the last two days?Well yesterday I

2005-02-13T00:47:00.000-05:00

2/13/05......So there you have it....that's exactly how my night basically went by. Lina made the last one...I know it's literally Oscar material.As for the day....Piano, worked out, worship practice, and then fellowship. But the real spur of the night was DEFINITELY when my moose turned gangsta >.>'Night.

2/11/05"OH DON'T GET YOURSELF IN A TIZZY!"So that's one of my many ditzy lines that I have in my 5 minute english skit I'll be performing on Tuesday. Final project for Macbeth, and the group I'm in....well with a democratic 5:1 vote, I'm playing the role of Lady Macbeth....Yup that's right. Well in act 3 there's 5 guys and 1 girl, and our group had 5 girls and 1 guy, SOOOOO.....we thought (

2/9/05 Happy Chinese New Years Everyone! Sun Leen Fai Lok! I can't type in Chinese because first of all I can't read it and secondly I can't period. Well I could identify happy new years but I can't write it...to complicated -_- And so tonight I sent out an email to family in HK saying happy new years and sat around doing homework. I was struggling with math but I'm starting to click with it

2005-02-07T23:42:00.000-05:00

2/7/05 Exams back....grr. Well, exams were thrown back at us today....I did relatively well on most: English: 72%; I am damn proud of this as it is the best english exam mark I've ever received. I would have got at least 80% if I had READ what to write my essay about >_<. PAS: 86%; I could have done better I guess. Ironic how I got 97% for essay portion here and I got 63% for essay portion of

2005-02-07T01:00:00.000-05:00

2/7/05 Aww Eagles Lost =(.... Ok so that was one not so cool thing about today... Besides that though... Everything else was good =). Church wasn't too bad today, with basically the same mesasge in Bible Study class repeated from last night's HYPe meeting, which was pretty cool to be by coincedence...and also funny how Ken last night was saying how we'd never remember the lesson... After

2005-02-05T01:39:00.000-05:00

2/5/05 I think I've found a new genre of music to appreciate.... Of all things... Yes... But there are the certain few Hip Hop and R&B songs that I actually can't get out of my head....and I suppose aren't the WORST tunes out there. I still cling whole-heartedly to my vocal trance though...and classical music >.> Anywho so today went to see Ocean's 12 with Linda, Lina, and Calvin. I liked

2005-02-04T01:58:00.000-05:00

2/4/05 It is done... Yes........ No more exams. Coasting for the next 3 days... Yes......... Owned.

2/3/2005 12 more hours.... 12 more hours....+ the two in the exam.... and it's all over. I think this is actually the first exam this year where I'm like "CRAP CRAP FIRE THE MISSILES!" I mean the others were Law, English, PAS and Music, so I've had a pretty relaxing week. But yesterday and today.... "CRAP CRAP FIRE THE MISSILES!" So now I'm still cramming last minute...inertia, 3 laws, blah

2005-02-02T01:00:00.000-05:00

2/2/2005 Almost...done....all...of it Only one more exam, and I've finished them all. Physics...prepare to meet your doom >.>....or my ships will get wrecked Come Friday....chill time at last =). Actually Tuesday and Thursday will be too, since I have no exams the next days. Tonight I went to baddy....so yeah I'm not exactly pissing my pants scared crapless for this exam. After all....it's

1/30/05 I should be sleeping but.... *Yawns* Yes it is quite late and I should be sleeping, but I REALLY don't feel like it right now. And so here I am... Once again.... Churning out another blob of text for you avid readers to feast your retinas on. So thank goodness my first two exams are done. They were easy, which made my life even better. I didn't have to worry too much about them =).

1/27/05 It has begun... So tomorrow it will commence. Exams. Evaluation. Prayin' for all to do well. Back to studying.

2005-01-25T01:00:00.000-05:00

1/25/05 Few more days... Only a few more days left and then they commence. Tonight it was some review then badminton. I needed to get out. Thank goodness also. Right when I come home MSN erupts with spam about so much stuff. One interesting thing is one of them is showing just how retarded MSN can be. I've said it before...and I'll say it again... Use the phone or face-to-face to discuss

2005-01-24T23:17:00.000-05:00

1/24/05 Exams....uh oh. Only 3 more days... 3 more days and it will be the exam period. The beauty of it: no school on some of the days. The catch: exams suck. So I've already began studying for some courses...mainly physics. Law and PAS...meh....then English. Eww english exams are always lame. So what's been on my mind lately besides these exams? Keep in mind I'm not stressed. In fact I'm

1/22/05 Brief Outlook on Possibilities of Eliminating Snow From your Driveway So I was shoveling (and snowblowing) today outside in the frigid weather that it was. While I was shoveling I thought of the cons and pros of each way of getting rid of the snow. Yes I was quite bored, and hey what else can keep you motivated while snow flies in your face from the snowblower, or your arm aching from

2005-01-22T11:59:00.000-05:00

1/22/05 Midterms...Snow....tired. So here I am again... Cooped up inside the walls of my house...since there is zero visibility snow out there right now, and no way I'm going to be going out in this weather. Unless it's for shoveling -_-. So this week has been quite the week. Chem is starting to look bright again, and physics also. Zuber=retard though still. He took off a half a mark because a

2005-01-17T22:43:00.000-05:00

1/7/05 What's wrong with the weather? Seasons used to be set, and if not 100%, then at least one could estimate just when winter would end and when spring comes around. Not anymore though. Just 3 days ago it was a steaming 10 degrees celsius in London. Today, it was -14, not including windchill. With that deathly chill of wind, it felt like -30. So yes, I really don't like the weather now.

2005-01-14T20:13:00.000-05:00

1/14/05 YESH! IT'S OVER! FINALLY! The week is done! Which means I wrote my math midterm, and I think I did.....meh. Well put it this way.... Have you ever came out of the math room after a test, and there was this one question that you never got but you're sure if you had more time you would have got it? Well that happened to me today. It boggled my mind from end of period 4 until just 3

2005-01-13T21:35:00.000-05:00

1/13/05 Come on...remember studying from tonight ...That's all I can hope for tomorrow sitting in 4th period writing my math midterm. And my physics quiz. Tomorrow is when all the work counts. I hope I can pull it out of the back of my head. Just taking a break from all the mathing right now. Going to go do physics soon then sleep. Blasted band. Thank goodness it's Friday. It's funny how

2005-01-12T23:12:00.000-05:00

1/12/05 Crap crap...and crap.... More work. More efficiency required. Problem is I've reached my terminal efficiency, and can't work any faster. Well I COULD, but PS2 is just too addictive sometimes >.> So yeah....so far this week. It's been lots of work. 230pm Friday looks so nice from now looking forward. To think that half a week has already gone by. Thank God that I'm still on top of

2005-01-10T01:17:00.000-05:00

1/10/05 So...much....work What a not-so-welcoming week back. After a week of school, and getting back into regular schedule, I am dead. By that I mean dead tired. So much work to do, midterms, exams, whatever else. Once again I am back to averaging 6 hours of sleep a night. Exciting eh? Hmm so yeah I can't really think of much to write. I guess the first week of 2005 was quite busy already.

2005-01-02T20:11:00.000-05:00

1/2/05 Enjoyin' Final Hours of Holidays Blast... To think in a matter of 12 hours I'll be at school, sitting in those uncomfortable plastic chairs learning about something biological in gr. 12 bio. Whoo Hoo. I wish holidays were longer =(. Well this holidays I enjoyed many things, including the luxury of no homework ^_^. Oh yeah and yesterday I went skating with my dad, something I haven't

2005-01-01T02:00:00.000-05:00

1/1/05 2004 crash course: Amazing. One year... It's been one year since I started this blog. Fast eh? I thought so at least. I couldn't believe it today counting down that it's already been one year since I first started this blog, one year since I accidentally flicked to porn after the countdown, and one year since....well January 1st 2004. So to end off the year, we all headed to Wendy's

2004-12-29T01:07:00.000-05:00

12/29/04 Nooo...so close to new year's eve already Hmm, well there are some perks to new year's, but really I don't want 2004 to end =(. This year's been quite the fun time and everything, and I really wish maybe we had more days in the year >.> So what have I done the last few days? Well one thing's for sure....shopping. Yes even I can't resist the go for boxing day shopping. On Monday,

2004-12-27T01:43:00.000-05:00

12/27/04 FINALLY....not as sick Ugh, after 2 days of literally dying... Finally I feel better. I missed church and shopping today because of multiple sneeze attacks and my eyes itching like sandpaper was just rubbed against them. So finally I feel better, which is why I'm going to sleep soon so I don't make matters worse. So not much has happened to me last few days. Only a few thoughts to

12/25/04 Merry Christmas Everyone! Yay! The holiday is finally here. A day to remember our Christ's birth to this earth *the day picked to represent his birth* and of course just the holiday cheer and the family time we spend. To start off this blog, I'd just like to paste in the few verses in Matthew that are engraved with the story of the birth of Christ: The Birth of Jesus Christ 18This is

12/23/04 Snow!...At last Well, snow's finally here! My favourite time of year! You know what would make it better? If I could have every snowflake at my command. Stupid Shoveling -_-. Life would be just that much more complete if shoveling snow was like and RTS: with every little unit at your command. Yeah I really am getting nerdier every day. But it's true. When I went outside at 9 today...

2004-12-19T20:05:00.000-05:00

12/19/04 Titles seem to be harder and harder to come up with when days are just blazing by so quickly... So this morning it was the usual church and all, then nap... Then went to my first jazz concert in my life at North Park. It was good I must say. Inspires me in the field of musicianship for sure. But the main thing of the day was saved for the end... Once again, another insightful blog.

2004-12-18T00:27:00.000-05:00

12/18/04 Bored..... Yeah so I'm quite bored right now. Just finished photocopying a thing or two, and then I just thought oh why not I'll put an entry in... So today in more detail... Well today with it being the last day of school, I guess it wasn't too bad. I suppose life could have been better, but now I'll never know what scores I would have had in badminton today if I had passed school

2004-12-17T23:02:00.000-05:00

12/17/04 IT'S OVER!!!!!!! YESH! No more school! That is all.

2004-12-16T19:10:00.000-05:00

12/16/04 Ahh....almost done school ^_^ Hmm, it's kind of funny. One minute, I was BEGGING for school to end, but with this week gone by, sadly I actually think I'll miss some thing's that happen in my everyday life at school. I mean I always look forward to bio class, and music class is always awesome. Math is fun too sadly hahaha.... ................. Then again what am I thinking? IT'S THE

12/14/04 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh..............so....tired..... As you all probably know by now....well those that have my MSN... I am very sleep deprived. So deprived... That I think I have a negative net ATP production >.> Ugh....to think only 3 more days...3 MORE.... and then I'm free for two weeks... Hmm....so yeah I think I did OK on bio cumulative today...music was jokes obviously...but

12/7/04 So close...yet so far.... School is almost over. That's right...only 8 more school days and POOF. Technically 7 since today passed by. Hmm much has happened since my last post, from crappy school week to Rebecca being the new admin of HYPE in place of me. Well I'll start from the top.... So throughout last week, life sucked. I was tired, averaging 5 hours of sleep, all the quizzes and

11/28/04 Karaoke=Awesome LCAC dinner=Well there's food....so it's OBVIOUSLY good. Well, the weekend so far has been pretty awesome. I really can't put this aside, because this weekend really has been good. Well first off Thursday went to see Socks, the play my school put on. It was actually really good, first off considering it was 100% Central done, with the musical written by a Central

11/23/04 Hmm not exactly the most interesting day.... But when I look back to my lunch at Jasper's today...it was pretty funny the stuff we were talkin' about haha... First off of course the whole scene at the Palace on Friday Night. Talked about that a lot....some of us thought it was a racial issues, while others didn't think so. Cam then says that the only reason the white guy threw beer

11/18/04 Yay! Once again I can seem to NEVER get a average below 85! Oh the sweet smell of an 85 average and a bit.... I think the whole coffeehouse issue kind of blew over. I mean I was thinkin' all directions we take would run into more crapness, but we are having a karaoke night now hahaha. I can't wait to see this...I find it pretty cool how God really did answer my prayers. It may not have

2004-11-18T01:03:00.000-05:00

11/18/04 So life isn't perfect...ever. On one hand, you could be really excelling at something, where in another you could be doing crap. I kind of had this sense today after ending some phone calls with regards to my church's coffeehouse. I mean my day was going fairly well. I had a kickass average once again, well better than what I expected hahaha, and I had actually prioritized so well

2004-11-14T21:16:00.000-05:00

11/14/04 YES! We got coffeehouse practice off the ground at last! So far well I suppose we are sort of putting things together, I think we should sound decent after a few more practices. I just hope that we've sowed enough seeds to reap the benefits... So what happened in the life of moi today? Hmm well church as usual. I found it kind of funny how so many people noticed when I dressed up in a

11/12/04 Another week come and go... Hmm I actually meant to post yesterday in honour of Remembrance Day, but yaeh I ran out of time, so I couldn't really do anything. I noticed Maisie posted up the poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae, and then I thought "oh heck why not say something today." So here I am now, blogging at 1255am, after the power just came back on, and here's what I had to say

2004-11-05T20:12:00.000-05:00

11/5/04 November brings cold....FINALLY I'm happy to say that with November, comes relieve in my school life as I finally adjust into full gear for school *after two months* and also something that I haven't seen, er felt in a long time... November wind chill. I don't think I even remember a cold first two days of November, with these years being so hot. So I can proudly *and happily* say that

2004-10-31T23:15:00.000-05:00

10/31/04 Untitled ... Hmm well this weekend has been quite the interesting one. Yesterday grandma left for HK. It's going to be sort of weird not having her in London, as I've seen her almost everyday since I was 5. Now for the next 6 months or so, she's over in Hong Kong with my cousin Jessalyn and my uncle and aunt. I hope she has a good time there. So taking grandma to the airport, where

2004-10-24T16:49:00.000-04:00

10/24/04 Tootin' right along... Well as November is approaching, my life is still as usual. Despite my crammed schedule filled with everything from test studying to piano, I'm happy I've still managed to find time to do my devos and everything. Last few days have been so-so. Friday was a PD day. However, regardless of it being a holiday, I still had to do school-related stuff. Friday was the

10/19/04 I AM PASSING SOME COURSES! When I say passing of course, being Chinese, I of course mean at least over an 80 =). Well today walking into physics I was pretty depressed, since John had told me that he saw my mark and I did pretty bad apparently... Ugh that foolin' lying bastard scaring the Asian out of me, he finally got his vengeance after I did that to him a few times last year in

2004-10-18T22:29:00.000-04:00

10/18/04 Struggling...so....much.... You may have been wondering why the big blog gap. Well I'll explain myself now... Besides the decline in my once decent piano skills due to lack of practice, school has been quite the pain. I don't know why, but my life right now seems to be drastically falling apart in academics. My average is probably currently around 73 or something right now, which is

10/11/04 Savouring the last moments of 15.... It's almost here... the age of 16.... This will be the last time I post as a 15-year-old. To think that it's already been a year since I turned 15. And now, in about a week, I'll have a G1, and be 16 years and however many days old. Well really I'm blogging because I'm procrastinating from bio right now. But I've had a good weekend. I went to

10/2/04 One month passes of school...only another 9 or so... Can you believe it? It's already been September gone and by. In comes October now, the month of Thanksgiving, Autumn going into full swing....and.... -Steph's Birthday -Theresa's Birthday -My Birthday [HEEE! =)] -Brian K's Birthday -Kurtis' Birthday is also on the 12th which is mine -Uncle Terry's Birthday also The list goes on and

9/26/04 Ahh first blog totally out of sequence...=) Hehe it feels kind of funny blogging out of sequence for the first time, but yet in a way it's kind of better. Oh yes and on a note no the 6 days I left blank were not because I didn't do devos leading to no blog, it's really just because I was lazy haha. Doing devos was still part of my daily routine...for the most part yes I did miss a day or

2004-09-20T21:55:00.000-04:00

9/20/04 Change in blogging habits... This blog has had almost 300 posts non-stop, and about 250 of them were posted without the original meaning of this blog. Just today while I was thinking about my prayer about spending more time with God, I realized that much of the time I killed into tick-tacking away on the keyboard for these posts. Originally, I set this blog up for the intention of "if

9/19/04 Another Sunday at LCAC... So today was another Sunday, and in saying that I went to church again. So I got up early as usual, picked up Jason, and then went to church. Today Pastor D was speaking about having New Life when believing in Christ. I actually managed to get the main idea of what he was saying, despite Calvin folding paper beside me, which was pretty annoying. Really hope one

2004-09-18T23:14:00.000-04:00

9/18/04 Fair...so....boring.... Ugh just got back from Western Fair, and I remember why I NEVER went to it since grade 3 or so. There actually is absolutely nothing to do. The rides are bad, games are boring, and the food sucks. So all in all it was a crummy waste of 30 so bucks. I guess it was kind of cool to be with HYPE and all there, and also seeing some people from ACF, but still it is so

2004-09-17T22:48:00.000-04:00

9/17/04 Short blog...yet again... Ok, this will be short because I'm tired... Band, School, Home, Baddy, Sleep. Bye.

2004-09-16T17:29:00.000-04:00

9/16/04 ANOTHER bag broken... It's quite interesting. It seems that every bag I get from that stupid World Luggage place in Toronto breaks after a few weeks. It happened with the Aero bag I had, and now the Swiss one broke too. Well the strap did, the bag is still fine. Still that was my backpack, and the strap should hold more. Anyways so I found a replacement one for now, but STILL.....ugh

2004-09-15T23:42:00.000-04:00

9/15/04 ... Nothing very exciting happen today.... So today had shortened periods because assembly day was today. We had a guest speaker *the funny one* come to talk to us about being involved in our school and stuff again. That was the highlight of the morning really. Bio had another quiz, chem class Zuber jabbed on again about matter, and then we went to the auditorium. Lunch went to

9/14/04 Lazy blog #2.... Due to the stupidity of Blogger, I've lost will to blog today. Stupid b0rking server making my post about jazz band explode. So today, all I'm going to say is this: I had band, school, then badminton. Oh yeah and of course.... CANADA WON 3-2 WHOO!

2004-09-13T23:29:00.000-04:00

9/13/04 Ugh stupid blogger.... Ok so blogger PMS'd last night and their server b0rked. That is why I had no post for Monday... until now, which this will be it. I had Jazz band =).

2004-09-12T21:17:00.000-04:00

9/12/04 Everyone's back! So everyone's back at LCAC now...well basically at least =P. This morning all the UWO students were back to the service, and I think service went quite well. Largest english congregation I've seen at LCAC in awhile haha. Pastor D wasn't there to speak today, but a Don Hill, which many of us got mixed up with Don Brooks. Was a good Sunday Service I think to start off the

9/11/04 HYPE is back into full tilt....=) So today HYPE was back into almost full size haha. Awesome time, we just shared our summers, sang some praise songs, and then for the rest of the night....our first ever improv night haha. So it was Gavin's field day since he loves to do improv, and the rest of HYPE still had a blast doing whatever we were doing for the improv games. Besides that, I

9/10/04 One week gone...another 40 or so to endure WHOO! One week of school has been conquered for good =). Only another 40 some odd weeks or so and then POOF I'll be back in summer =). So MUAHAHAHAHAHA! >=). Anyways to begin my day, I woke up really slowly today, and dragged myself out of bed at 7am. I really hate that feeling of when you wake up, you KNOW you ahve to wake up, but your bed's

2004-09-09T15:38:00.000-04:00

9/9/04 Yeehee! MUSIC FROM MUSIC FINALLY! BAHAHAHA! Finally we got music today in music class =). Despite the fact that I had some sniffles still today from last night's sneeze attack, I was still ok for the most part. Today actually was pretty cool, like my day 1's have been so far. I've had two. So it's kind of funny how my courses turned out. The bird courses I thought would be easy and

9/8/04 Day two=meh. Ok, so today I'm tired, lazy, and don't want to write a long or medium blog so I'll put it straightforward, starting with the morning Morning: went to school. Physics and PAS and pictures. Afternoon:lunch Last bit of afternoon: Math and English. Now I'm home. Bye.

2004-09-07T15:02:00.000-04:00

9/7/04 First day of school....*yawns from being tired* Ok... So today being the first day of school not much really happened. I mean obviously the schedule of my days changed from my summer days, but other than that I mean....school was just school. So last night I couldn't really get to sleep, and as a result waking up at 730am was one heck of a hassle for me. I didn't sleep until around 3am,

2004-09-06T20:17:00.000-04:00

9/6/04 Last day of summer.... Already....two and a half months of wasted time has wooshed right by. It was hard to realize this morning when waking up, that today was already September 6th. Then on MSN, it's also the big subject, with names like "OMG SCHOOL NO!" or "aiya....school," the reminder of school is everywhere. Biggest talk I had on MSN convos today, whether it was Monica, Steve, or any

2004-09-05T22:14:00.000-04:00

9/5/04 School so close...yak..... Last Sunday before school starts. As Lina wrote in her blog about Saturday, well that applies to me today. Waking up at 10, picking up Lina and Jason, and then arriving at church to see familiar university faces....it just hit me then that I thought... Wow, only two more days for me and three more d ays for them. Yeesh. So made it to joint service. Carmen

2004-09-04T23:49:00.000-04:00

9/4/04 Jason's 16 now too....wow I feel so young... Well in the last couple of days, Lina and Jason have turned 16, and just a few days before that, Maisie turned sweet 16. Ergh why must it take me so long to become a 16 year old? Oh well, it's nice to know at least that I'm still young....and uhh...athletic...*shifty eyes...* I'm not typing up the longest blog today, as it is late, and I want

9/3/04 Yay! More badminton haha... Hmm....well today my day was actually pretty interesting.My morning started off at 8, where I had to turn on the MSN webcam/audio thing for mom and grandma, as they were talkin' to Uncle Sang this morning. After setting that up, I went back to sleep until 1130 or so....Woke up then, and then I started my day off doing my devos. I'm still on the part in PDL now.

9/2/04 Happy 16th Lina *FOOL!* ....and a Happy Early 16th to Jason Well what a night tonight was. I think I speak for all of 'em that went to Jason's and Lina's birthday today when I say it was one heck of a time. The nine of us that were there (Carmen, Gavin, Jason, Josh, Rebecca, Steph, Lina, Jason, and I) managed to have fun, burn $150 on food, and to top it off more money on fooseball and

9/1/04 First day of September....bah...... Ok....so today....Wednesday.....was the first day of September. So that means....I had to go grab my stuff from school today...you know planners and stuff. So I woke up this morning at an agonizing 8am, and rolled out of bed to be met by a peanut butter sandwich breakfast. Afterwards, brushed my teeth and stuff, and then headed out the door. My mom

2004-08-31T23:00:00.000-04:00

8/31/04 And it will be September.... *sigh* already the summer is coming to a close. Just to think.....two and a half months just like that.... Gone. I didn't really realize it until I saw my blog date today. It's 12am, so it said September 1st originally....to think that it's September already while I'm typing this post...I just turned back the time so it's properly set for August 31st's post

2004-08-30T23:17:00.000-04:00

8/30/04 Wow....quick day....only a week left.... Argh.....only a week left and then I'll be sitting in a classroom once again. Oh well....today was well spent though....hung out at the mall with Rebecky and Lina, and then went to play baddy with Gavin, Jane, Josh, Steve, Lina and of course....myself =). So this morning my alarm woke me up at 7:40am, and then I shut it off. My plan worked...I'm

8/29/04 Happy Birthday Maisie! And now Maisie is at a sweet 16...wow to think she can drive soon...wonder if she can see over the dashboard... >.> <.< ....anyways besides that, today I didn't really do much. Church this morning was alright...had a speaker from the visitation team come to speak. Gavin slowed down the worship enough to make me totally die trying to improvise on the drums, and

2004-08-28T21:24:00.000-04:00

8/28/04 Happy Birthday Rebecky! And a sweet 16 for Maisie as well... HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECKY! *giggle giggle* *LMSAO!* Well technically I'm pretty sure Maisie's birthday is tomorrow, but she had a small little mall-wandering party today/movie....so I'll include her birthday in this blog...and I guess I'll say the real happy birthday tomorrow...or something. Anywho so yeah, up till today I've

2004-08-27T21:51:00.000-04:00

8/27/04 So....many....birthdays...GAH! FINALLY. I am now done all my shopping for gifts, and my account is almost totally depleted now too haha. Oh well at least it's going to a good cause...and I've discovered new stores too on my adventures to gift shops and stuff. So last night Gavin crashed at my place, and we played NFL Street until around 3ish, and then headed to sleep. This morning,
