“You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry.”- Author Unknown”

^ I SUPPOSE AT TIMES THAT'S TRUE. BUT NOT NOW. It would take my everything to show a true smile. 

t1B74

ok. so today, ther was a mistake.
i was gonna do my great adventure trip, but i forgot my camera. dangit.

i didn't know we had to take pictures or videotape the busride.
but to be safe, ill just blog about it now, and do another trip next week.
i walked up heather to 49th, then tookt he 49th to main and walked to 51st. sunset ice rink.
i love skating, its one thing to be fast, but it's another thing to feel free.
ik it sounds cheesy, but im so much happier on ice alot of the times.

t1B71 - Empathy blog #3

a list of things i did today as roy. again.

i went ot school and saw things.
after school, i saw things.
i hallucinate. jkjk
I waited 2 hours through the girl's volleyball practice to talk the the gr 9 girls basketball coach for 3 min. wut a win.
There's a fire bell going on rite now apparently. eveyrone's running out. i should too. meh.
WHAT DO I DO.
wait.....
ok. it stopped.
i played piano after i got home. and dinner, and exercise. all day er'y day

T1B70 - Empathy blog #2

partner still roy:

ok, so today, i had 2 piano competitions, and missed school. qqq, no one noticed i was gone. jkjkjk
i had kfc for lunch. yum. then got stomachache. it hurt me. :6

t1B69 - empathy blog 1

so my partner is roy,
and this is me being him, day 1.

roy blogs?
anyway.

so let's see. wut did i do this morning?
oh rite, nothing.
i woke up: ate breakfast,
ummmmmm well i had an exciting day. left my house, went to another house. and im not sure why i woke up in the first place, because i took a nap at his house.
i chucked his lil bro around for a bit - and hurt my back. geezus, he was heavy. My macho arms are still sore.

lets see.... wut else.
oh yeah i played a chinese game, and just realize di hve hw due tomorrow.

T1B68

don't u get tired of always staying strong sometimes?
but alot of times, the smiles are fake - a pretty mask to cover a sad little wounded bird. LOL
"I smile and act like nothing is wrong. Its called putting shit aside and acting strong."

T1B65

geezus christ
why's there so much drama in school now?
they say:
LOVE = a form of amnesia when a girl forgets that there are 1.2 billion other guys int he world.

T1B67

I BELIEVE I CAN FLY.
I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY
ALL I NEED IS HTE FBI
I BELIEVE I CAN FLY

^thats the song i made up with freinds in gr 2.

now this is the real deal"
if you wanna fly, you gotta give up the shit that weighs you down.

T1B63

remember me with smiles and laughs, for thats how ill remember you.
if you can only remmeber me wiht sadness and tears, then don't remember me at all.



^its not worth it. i think so deeply of these sentences. i think about a lot of my old friends - and alot of it involes tears. tbh, id rahter not have these memories.

T1b61

life is short, live it.
love is rare, grab it.
anger is bad, dump it.
fear is awful, face it
memories are sweet, cherish it.

this are such simple sentences, ones i can compose of every day. They why does this give me a feeling of such great impact?

T1B60

my parents think im crayz. legitly.
i told them about the camping outside idea. my mom saiz i already have the sniffles, and that she does not need me creating more trouble by getting sick. so it hink that's a no.

personally, i don't think this projects is a must-do. Its november - its getting cold outside, and i understand the homeless dont have it easy. my dad donates around 200 dollars to different shelters every year. i truly understand their pain - its a sad story - and in synergy, we're trying to make a different here.
after all, isn't that wut synergy is about? putting young minds to work on the big picture.

T1B59

People don't cry b/c they're weak. Ppl cry because they've been strong for far too long.

ive always thought that crying is a nono. a bad thing - both mentally, and physically. but over time, i learned that crying is really easy on the nerves. It's healthy to have mental break downs. Alot of times, you get hte feeling that .... hmm how to put it: your life sucks. there's nothing worth living for - this leads ot breakdowns.

and the reason for ppl not crying is because they fear FEAR. This specific fear is built from always being strong.

T1B58

Scars are tactoos with better stories.

this is good.

i have lotta scars.

mr hauck has lotta tactoos.

my scars have a story.

his scars are the story.

i love this quote so much. T1B56

BOYS FALL IN LOVE WITH WUT THEY SEE.

GIRLS FALL IN LOVE WITH WUT THEY HEAR.

THAT'S WHY GIRLS WEAR MAKEUP, AND GUYS LIE

t1B53

you think by saying im sorry, all the past can be corrected?


my entire day evolved aroudn that quote.
i had a pretty bad day - a few friends bailed on me, and got me into a little trouble
they know they did somehting wrong, and all tey say is sorry, then resume wutever they were doing wrong.

t1B50

SHOCKINGLY, IVE ONLY READ LIKE 2 JODIPICOULT BOOKS.
ITS NOT THAT I DONT' LIKE READING, IT'S JSUT HTAT IN SOME PLACES, HER BOOKS ARE REALLY SLOW, BUT THEN AGAIN, OTHERS. ARE SO INTERESTING, SO IT LEVELS OUT.

cant say i love it, but its got slightly better lyrics than friday, which isn't much of a compliment

t1b33

 from my fav song of the week:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

t1B32 - Still Fuming

NONOOOOOOO I'm so depressed right now. My dad cancelled our skiing trip. He says its too expensive - maybe next year... That was the highlight I was looking forward to all winter. so thanx dad. Holy C*** so fr****** cold!!!!!!!!! I was wearing 4 layers of clothing - like 2 sweaters.And this is just the beginning of winter - 3 more months to go! What am I gonna do? This is just sad - numbing coldness and no snow. = disappointment

T1B28

i just learned that commercials can make food look so much yummier than they really are. sam saiz they put shoe polish on the photographed models. well - that takes some of the craving away. but the photos work :) I GOT SO HUNGRY AFTER seeing a juice brand - it looked like some elegant cocktail juice. then, looking back at where they sell it, its those typical cranberry punches from superstore. wut a joke.

T1B26

ikik, its like october - i finally got my hands on a usable camera lol.
and ive beent aking photos like mad.

omg my yearbook picture last year was REALLLY sad. i was all red and puffy
i had pe last year first block, and my homeroom's 9A. This meant i had my picture taken like right after running 3 laps. yuck, my photo was gross.
HOWEVER. this year, it's a lot more satisfying. the onlyt hing is, i forgot to smile. i was int he middle of somewhere between a smile and a snicker, so im not sure how this is gonna turn out :(

T1B10

apparently,i have 4 synergy courses (enriched)
pe 9 leadership
math 9 enriched
and digital photography ten
meaning my only regular course is french.
this^ is fun - i can go around saying that :)

:(

WHY IS BLOGGER NOT WORKING OFR ME!!!!

T1B6

the pre-ibs are gone.
i signed up for duke of edinburg
the freakin log book cost me 33 dollars.

t1B7

well, my chinese school starts today. at killarney.
jeezus christ,, i had going to killarney - there r like druggies in the parking lot. A friend told me there's chinese school at churchill - it's 5 blocks away from my house - and much more convinient for me to go to. BUT NO, my mom doesn't like the school there, so we drive to killarney every wednesday at nite.
i like churchill better :(

T1B13

IVE TRIED 3 DAM TIMES.
WHY WOUNT BLOGGER BLOG MY BLOGS
IT KEEPS DELTEING THEM AUTOMATICALLY. HOLY////////

t1B5

i has looking at the marpole brochure over hte weekend, and ive found a few programs i should be getting involved in. my mom saiz i can't sit home alone in front of hte computer all day. and for my own good really, i dont want to either.

so there were a few things i wanted to register for: 

such as:

career chosing (practice interviews and resumes)

duke of edinburg

volunteer as part of the youth club.

i like the duke classes - i feel like its good to volunteer more and be more into leadership. 

im going to sign up for that. after i told some ppl, sharon, eddy and i are all going to register. 

which reminds me - they're going to preib camp tomorrow. THIS IS SO SAD, CAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO ELPHINSTONE - MY GRADE 6 CAMP. i loved that place so much. my grade 5, 6, and 8 years were my favourtie school years. camp. sigh. i loved elphinstone even more than my gr 7 camp. :)

T1B12

OH NO, ONE MOR DAY TIL THE PREIB KIDS LEAVE FORE CAMP.
QQ - THIS IS SO SAD
WHY AM I BLOGGING WHEN I COULDBE SAYING FAREWELLS.

T1B4

Assembly today.
it felt really strange not having assembly first block like always last year. then i remembered, im nolong in the 8th grade. oh well, qq - i missed french. tbh, i hate french. not htat i don't like my french teacher, its just that we have a student teacher this year. and she doesn't really know how to teach. i like her and all, and she has a really cheery personality, its just htat its not exactly"exciting". Ive fallen asleep a few times in class. Luckily, i understand most of the lessons she's trying to get through. personally i think to amek a successful lesosn, you need to engage the kids. im not giving any names, but she still need to work that on that aspect a bit.

T1B3

man i hate sundays.
technically, as opposed to all other school kids, im very strange, cause i love school
problem is - weekends are a drag for me. i can't stand sundays. It's like i know there's one more day left to see my friends again, yet  another whole 24 hours.
since the summer after i left for china, i've paused all my extracurricular weekend lessons. sigh. now ill have to resume it.

caution: this actually means work. legit work.

t1B02

so the first week of school just passed. wow. now it feels like my summer's truly ending. the sad thing is, i can't think of many productive things ive done this holiday. It's like ive wasted 2 months of my life that ill never get back. :( lets made a list and evaluate:
geocaching
china
hongkong
shenzhen
no hw almost at all
biking
sleeping
eating
no studying at all.

oh qq
my mom saiz one day ill pay for all this :(

SY 9 - First Week of School - Sept 9th

10SO  THIS IS THE FIRST BLOG OF GRADE NINE. IT FEELS GOOD TO NOLONGER BE THE NEWEST YOUNG STUDENTS HERE. A COUPLE OF MY OLD FRIENDS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAVE COME, AND WE'VE BEEN SHOWING THEM AROUND. IT WAS FUN PULLING THE SAME PRANKS ON THEM THAT THE GRADE NINE'S LAST YEAR PULLED ON ME - HARMLESS PRANKS OF COURSE.

It feels good to see everyone again. lit's was like a great big family reunion - that lasts another year :)

T3B92

no need to even omment. this says it all. I LMAO - enjoy :)

T3B91

OMG SYNERGY PARTY WHERE SHOULD WE HAVE IT. Ms. Greskiw doesn't mind have all 60 kids over to her house once. What's wrong with that? Why can't we go? We can go after watermania and bowling at silvercity...  can you imagine, 60 synergy kids & 7 teachers down in white rock doing a  huge barbecue. I hope ms greskiw will have help cleaning up....

T3B90

This is amazing xp

T3B89

ON the south field.
after playing badminton, since the field hockey court was being used, we couldn't play handball there, so we went up to the laurier playground. We played grounders and i accidently caused jacob to fall off a ladder on his back on the wood chips. I was really sorry. He's still not sure why im so sorry. He'll know how much it hurts when the woodchips splinter his back. XD. btw, sharon's boss at grounds. She hides behind a ladder for the entire game. Even us without our eyes closed didn't know where she was. :)

T3B88

Today i played badminton with sharon, jacob, edward, jessie, jamie, nick, and laurie. XD
It was fun.. ;D
hey, this is just like the simple blog people made on my my birthday...

T3B87

i want one of these - they're amazing...

T3B73

Hand lotion:

i know this is a kinda girl thing, but today at the mall, i went to the body shop and found the world's best smelling hand lotion: vanilla... :)
 Now alex louie says i smell like candy... smiles. sigh

T3B70

Today i went to see Kung fu panda 2. It was amazing. Slightly sadder than 1, but still amazing. and it was 3D! It's goes something like this: the 5 dragon warriors set out to save china from an evil peacock and his weapon. Along the way, Po the panda learns more about himself, his past, and finding his inner peace. It's also hilarious. I love, the koala bear, the old master....

T3B60

i used to love candy apples. I saw them at the PNE and that made me remember....

when I was 6, i had a very loose tooth - one of my front teeth. that summer, i bit into a glossy looking apple and felt something click and slip in my mouth. The next thing i know, blood was pouring down my chin from my mouth. I ran over the nearest DRAINAGE SEWER, and waited for it to bleed. Turns out, the shell of my tooth came off the bloody root was still hanging in my mouth. It was disgusting.... and painful. but good news: after 2 days, it fell off - like a piece of meath... EEEWWW

T3B49 - Execute me

"Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday."

"Please excuse Mary for being absent yesterday. She was in bed with gramps."

"Dear School: Please ekscuse John being absent on Jan. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and also 33."

^ funny excuses with mistakes in them

T3B48 - titanic

TODAY, WE WATCHED THE TITANIC.
I haven't watched it in 3years, and it can be pretty creepy in some parts. It's also so sad and beautiful. I nearly cried. I loved jack so much, i wish rose died instead of him. But the fact that jack died for rose makes the entire story so much more beautiful.

T3B38 - T.T

something like this will prob happen to me..... 

T3B27 -Forever Alone

I don't quite get it. The grade 8 students at churchill are going through a "forever alone" phase. It's so sad!  This one kid ordered a sweatshirt with Forever alone on it making a troll face, and some students in synergy are planning to order sweatpants like the ones they sell at the dogpound with forever alone written on it for our "synergy grad". It's not a bad idea - itll always symbolise good memroies.

T3B26 - Maybe not always the best way to become well-known?....

T3B25

We're all just getting started for buskerfest, and rite now, im still not sure wut that is. Mr. Olson says it's when we perform and people around us just donate however much they want. So Im guessing we'll be like those musicians at the skytrain station or in the streets of Downtown, where they place and keep their guitar/voilin case open in front of them for people to throw cash into. Just one thought though, do you think the students at Churchill are that generous? I hope this will work successfully. Last year, they only made a few hundred dollars. I just don't understand why this year's goal is 6000 dollars. Not being a moodkiller, but i don't think that's possible, and Im not the only one.

T3B23

The Sun run was amazing.
Although it's much longer, it was a lot more interesting than 6 laps. Going in circles can be boring and dizzy. Of course, I turned really read and puffy for the rest of the day, but the sun run was worth it. And also, the food there afterwards was GREAT. They have the best juice boxes in the world: cherry, grape, berry, apple, and the world's largest collection of bagels and paper cups i've ever seen. People, when they stopped by the water stations during the run, just simple threw their cups on the ground, and the organizers would clear it up later.

T2B22

SUNNNN RUNNNN

ITS TOMORROW
OMG
I HAVE TO GET UP AT LIKE 6:50
ITS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN
I LOVE HTE T-SHIRT ALREADY
EVERYONE'S GOING
I CANT WAIT TO SEE PPL
IM FEELING MIXED FEELINGS NOW
WHY...

T2B21

OMG TODAY I HAD A FRENCH EXAM AND IT WAS TRAUMATIZING.

its not the type of french test where my french teacher dictates and we write - cause that is easy. This is the kind where if i pass, i can get a 1/6th of my international french diploma. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY ITS KINDA LIKE A TOEFL FOR FRENCH. IT WAS 6 FREAKIN HOURS. Actually, the exam was only 1 hour, and the 15 minutes. But it was separated into 2 parts. I had to wait like 5 hours in between. :) lucky me. I am so paranoid rite now - cause im have high doubts about this. I really should have studied more - too bad i just realized.

T3B20

OMG TODAY THE SENIOR REACH FOR THE TOP KIDS HAD THEIR PROVINCIAL COMPETITION. TEAMS FROM SCHOOLS ALL OVER BC CAME AND HAD THEIR TOURNEYS FROM 1PM TO 9 PM. IT IS FRIDAY, A PRO-D DAY. I WENT TO HELP OUT AND SCORE KEEP. SOME OF THE OTHER SYNERGY NINES WERE THERE - IT WAS OK. 9 HOURS PASSED FAST - AND ONE OF US ALWAYS HAD AN EYE ON THE CANUCKS GAME SCORE. IN THE END, ST. GEORGES WON GOLD AND BURNABY NORTH WON SILVER. BOTH WILL BE GOING TO TORONTO FOR THE NATIONALS, BUT THEY WILL BOTH HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN MEDAL FEES AND OTHER PAYMENTS - since this program is zero-funding. :)

This is an awesome start to my weekend!!! I actually kinda want to join Reach for the top next year. XD

FRIENDS OVER T3B18

I LOVE HAVING FRIENDS OVER, BUT NOT MY MOM'S FRIENDS. BECAUSE, WHEN THEY COME OVER, MY BROTHER GETS EXCITED SINCE THEY ALWAYS BRING THE DEMON GIFTS. AND HE GETS EXCITED AND RUNS HIS TOY CAR AROUND THE HOUSE A COUPLE OF TIMES, LEAVING MARKS ON THE GROUND, WHICH I NOW HAVE TO CLEAN. AND HE KNOWS I CAN'T GET MAD AT HIM OR PUNISH HIM WITH GUESTS AROUND, SO HE TATTLES AND TORTURES ME.

T3B17

OK so LONG STORY TOLD SHORT NOW -

TONITE - MY BROTHER WON'T GO TO BED - WHICH MEANS I CAN'T GET ANY REST
LET ME TELL YOU HOW THAT WORKS AND FILL YOU IN ON THAT -

MY BROTHER DOESN'T SLEEP = MY MOM CAN'T SLEEP ( SINCE HE BOTHERS HER) = MEANING MY MOM GETS MAD = SHE IS TALKING , IRRITATE, MAD, AND POSSIBLY TAKING IT OUT ON ME = SO THATS HOW YOU EXPLAIN ME GETTING UP AT LIKE 11 IN THE MORNING.

T3B16

CONGRATULATIONS:

TO ALL SYNERGY NINES
CAUSE THEY ALL GOT INTO PRE IB
:)
I HATE MY REPORT CARD
SO CLOSE TO STRAIGHT A's
just damn PE
BET IT WAS b/c I FAILED SQUARE DANCING
dammit - missed principal's list again
LIKE WHAT IS THIS -

T3B15 - hehehehe DWARF heeeehehhehehe

ok - during the premier of never say never - JB. I saw him walking down a red carpet with tv cameras around him. My mom saw him and asked me "sweet kid - why's he so short * cause  he was standing in front of two really buff and tall body guards.

other friend: I don't think Justin Beiber should have so many fans. He's ok good. - but not international good. He was like only up to their chest. He look like one of snow white's dwarfs - goofy.

A star who can't sing - T3B14

You know why I admire Taylor Swift? Because she can really sing. And she wrote all of her own songs. And she doesnt modify her voice so much in music videos.

Yesterday - I say selena gomez's new music video of Who Says on TV. It was good I liked it. I wished I stopped there.
Then, I searched her up live online - im telling you - she cannot really sing!!!!!!!! I saw compared shots of her and demi lovato.

and i was like:

<< I guess she's cute, but not so real >>

T3B13

Today I was watching MTV - and they were doing a special broadcast of Taylor Swift - her life achievements. She won 4 Grammys and is the youngest female country artist to ever win so many awards.
They say that she's very kind - awww. she has such as nice smile and innocent expression. You could never get tired of it.

 ok, maybe it does get a bit annoying after a while. 

T3B12

The four walls that trap me

are dull and grey

unwilling to let me fly free

filling this small enclosed space

with regret and dismay

The feelings of doubt

opening new doors

the people we can't live without

we constantly call for more

What TV and ice cream cannot make up
what we must do, our minds corrupt
The trails we take
the choices we make
Everyday feels safe riding to school on on that big yellow bus
with friends, its not u. & me.
It's US


<< But during spring break, there's no friends around >>

T2B11

F - is for friends who do stuff together
U - is for u & me
N  - is for anything, anywhere with anyone, here in the deep blue sea

so tell me. How is life F.U.N without the "Friends" part of "F"?

T3B11

Mr. Olson - whats that site again where you told us we could speak into it, and it would record and type out whatever we said. I asked Gabe about it, but he said it only applies for iphones and ipods. There's no program/software for that online? Dam - that's be pretty cool to have like a computer mic.

T2B10

My brother goes to Marpole Daycare - the one beside the gym at the community center. Tomorrow, it's his turn to go for "show and tell". My mom wanted him to present once to her to see what he would come up with and how he would describe it. This is their "format" - 1. describe the colour, 2. describe any other senses such as sound, smell, etc. & 3. show how to use it or play with it.

Im just hanging around for entertainment, since right now, ive got nothing better to do. Watching my brother in attempt to perform anything and speak English at the same time is generally interesting, since he can't do either properly. I know this is mean, but it's fun. :) I should have video taped it, but i can't find my camera, it'd be mean, and frankly - im not that type of person, and it would just be embarassing. :)

T3B9

KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN

This damn computer. I don't know, my dad came back for two days and just had to install something in our computer so now it shuts down like every 10-20 minutes. This is so frustrating since i can't finish watching an episode of whatever it is that im watching at the moment online. I suppose this is a sign to show that i shouldn't be online to watch television. thanx a lot dad.

T3B8

Today - We talked about Ancient china tonight - We went through a few of the earlier dynasties. I love this unit partially because its history, and I tend to do better in history in general than in common sense. hehe. Also, I tend to know more and feel less lost during these lectures. Of course, as a synergy student, I  never feel "lost" or "clueless"  in class, but I feel like I know must of what Mr. Sale's saying during the China unit - or at least can connect with it. I wonder if that's how Kevin Dhir felt when we were studying Hinduism.

T3B7

1/4 DONE

I AM 1/4 DONE MY SCARF. AND FRANKLY IM QUITE PROUD SINCE I ONLY LOST 2 STICHES. i MADE ONE HOLE BUT YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL. SOME KID IN NEED WOULD STILL BE GRATEFUL FOR A NICE SCARF RIGHT. OH NO IM A FAILURE. I WAS WATCHING AN EPISODE OF TWO AND A HALF MEN AND I MISSED ANOTHER STITCH. IVE GONE TOO FAR TO MAKE A MISTAKE AND GIVE UP TO START OVER. MAYBE THE PEOPLE IN THE CHARITY WON'T HAVE THE BEST EYESITE AND CAN'T TELL MY HOLES. THAT'S OKAY, AS LONG AS IT KEEPS THEIR NECKS WARM. :)

T3B6

ARGHHHHHHHHH What's with the world. my school tests just ended - you know since its the end of second term and report cards are supposed to come out. Now, I finally get like a week of time to loosen up when my damn Chinese teacher is giving her big exam on wednesday. What part of loosening up does she not get. Most of the schools have just finished a bunch of exams - kids need a break. I just realized i need a big more Judy-time. Haven't had that in a while.... In fact, what the heck am I doing here - I gotta go read :)

T3B5

YES i'm clear of headaches now!!!!!!!!! It's just my nose that still doesn't work. I suppose of my five senses, that's the sense I'm most willing to give up. There are people who are blind, deaf or dumb. What do you call someone who can't smell? Kinda pathetic.....

T3B4

I'm starting to think my cold's getting hopeless. I can't stand without getting dizzy, and everything around me seems to be spinning. My nose has completely stop functioning. I can't smell anything bad or good. I stuck my nose beside garlic, and I couldn't smell it. I told my mom about this. She says there's this disease where you lose your sense of smell completely for the rest of your life. I could have lived my whole life without knowing that. Now, I have to worry about getting that disease. Ive been trying to get whiffs of really strong smelling stuff, but no such luck. A real comfort. Next time I should really rethink going to my mom for advice. on the bright side - its the weekend, so not a lot of homework to worry about. :P

T3B3

Still Sick. Great..

Ok, so maybe DaNinja is write on the Sale Forum - he insisted that everything happening now is because of the 2012 disaster - the world's ending. - you know with all the bad luck we're getting from natural disasters. There have been many really random climate changes and lots of rain in certain places. The Earthquake in Japan wasn't exactly minor, and it just might hit Canada West coast. Mr. Sale says that There's a really big Earthquake here in Vancourver ( 8-9.0 * around that) every 500 years. And the last big Earthquake was 500 years ago. That's really scared my wits. I went home and tole my mom. She said there's nothing we can do about it if there's a natural disaster. Real comforting.

*Cough cough* T3B2

i've been sick since basically Thursday. Now its Friday night, and my headache's only got worse. I could hear my head pounding, like someone has a hammer and is trying to kill me softly from the inside. I completely blame all this on the first day of knitting - not "knitting" in general, but my clumsiness with dead knots. I wounded up with many tight knots stuck in each other when I tried to pull the "gut": out. I spent three hours this morning untying knots - through Applied skills and through Math class. This may sound seriously stupid and kinda pathetic, but I'm not kidding when I say that concentrating on the same small knot for like four hours this morning was killed a whole bunch of my brain cells and gave me a headache. Applied Skills is still one of my favourite classes though. :)

T3B1

SO THIS IS THE FIRST BLOG OF TERM 3!!!!!!!!!!!!

omG ANOTHER TERM'S OVER. Damn, only 3 more months till the school year ends. I'm trying to decide whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm so looking forward to summer, but i don't want to leave GRADE 8 SYNERGY. and MORE IMPORTANTLY... I don't want the grade nines to leave. NOOOOOOOOOO
she cries dramatically. I know, but some of them are really to spend time with. I get a few good laughs every once in a while. O.o   I can't believe I've sunk this low. *baby BARF* heheheh but seriously

I cant wait for Spring Breaks! - 2 weeks and freedom and no more homework load. Who wouldn't love it.?

T2B88

END OF TERM TWO!!

Today in class, we had a period where the teachers just checked work for term to completion marks. I was trying to finishing our presentation reviews - and I was hoping for some hints about my marks. BUT NOOOOOOO
THE DAMN BELL JUST HAD TO RING RIGHT BEFORE HE COULD CALL MY NAME. WHAT IS THIS - DOES THE TIME HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST ME o.OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'M HOPING i'LL GET AN A - CAN YOU CONFIRM, MR OLSON?

T2B87

OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS - MY COMPUTER JUST DELETED MY LAST BLOG. I THINK THE PUBLISH BUTTON FAILED ME, SO NOW I'M GONNA TRY TO REMEMBER AND RETYPE MY LAST BLOG: HERE GOES

OK so today at lunch I went to ask mr. Sale about my overall socials mark for this term, and he sang AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. OK so he didn't really sing, but in my mind he did. :) Im super psyched about this grade since last term I only got a B in socials, I honestly did work really hard. Considering the fact that a W AYYYYYYYYYY overstudied for my history exams, and totally blew off the covers in my religions project: *AHEM  Jason & Andy - my PARTNERS who were supposed to HELP  me in this presentation since they were my GROUP MEMBERS in my GROUP. WORKING TOGETHER  so we could earn a grade as a GROUP*  just saying. LOOOL

I deserve an  AAAAAAAAAAAAA. I really do ( in my mind). no seriously. not in there. out here. :P I'm really sorry if what i'm saying isn't really making any sense right now.

T2B86

Tomorrow, we're all gonna have to walk in the slush, since it most likely wont snow again tonight. This means that overnight, all of this will turn into slush. Then tomorrow, the nightmare will begin. My shoes will get soaked and my socks will get wet and my feet will get cold. I'll be jumping puddles all the way to school. POSITIVE - THE CLASSROOM WILL SEEM A MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL PLACE WHEN I GET THERE> :D

T2B85

MELTING

Having to do with snow: ICE , SLUSH,

TODAY MORNING I WAS SHOVELING SNOW WITH MY MOM AND MY BROTHER. This is how it went.

I was trying to prepared to get soaked and cold so I put on 5 LAYERS of clothe, 2 pairs of socks, and 3 layers of pants. My mom though I was crazy. I had a bit of trouble going down the stairs. With my 2 scarves, I couldn't see the steps.

THEN....

my brother wouldn't give me the big shovel so i had to use the mini one. By the end when we were done, my back bone was deformed and I couldn't bend to see anything except my shoes. Now at least I could see my feet. Now wait for it... MY BROTHER BEGAN THROWING AND POUNDING ON THE SNOW. IT WENT ALL OVER THE SIDEWALK, SO I HAD TO RESHOVEL THE PLACE. WHEN I GOT OT MY ROOM, I MADE THE MISTAKE OF SITTING ON THE HEATER. AFTER BEING IN THE SNOW, THE HEATER WAS BURNING. I FELT LIKE I SAT ON FIRE. ..... ok too much information.

T2B84

Mr. Olson, what would you do if your mom suffers from mental illness and accidentally dropped your child off a five story building, killing her. How would you react? This is bascially exactly what really happened. I read this on Mr. Sale's Current Events Foum. So now your kids dead and ur mom's going to jail. tough times...

T2b83

THE SOCIALS FORUM TODAY.

So it's coming to the end of the term and for the past 3 classes, Mr. Sales has been talking to us about our socials forum. I forgot to ask him how many points I'm at so far, so right now, I have been posting on the current events section like there's no tomorrow. I hope this will be all worth it when my marks come out. I really really want an A in socials this term. I can get it right? Personally, I think I did do better on the forum this term than I did last term. At least that's what it feels. like. Kevin Zhou's so funny - he's been on the forum for the past 24 hours as well. He probably though his socials mark was in jeopardy as welll hahahahha

T2B82

SNOW??!!??!!

Now normally on a day like this, I would be really glad that there's snow because it would be worth it. But of all the winter days in the past pathetic cold months, IT JUST HAD TO SNOW TODAY. TODAYS THE ONLY DAY IN 365 THAT I WOULD WANT THE WEATHER TO RAIN OR SHINE OR JUST BE COLD. This is because my mom won't drive me to by the stuff I need for this art project I'm working on if its ice or snow. The streets are safe, not a lot of snow - WHY CAN'T SHE DRIVE ME. I NEED A BETTER EXCUSE. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY ENJOY SUCH A PRECIOUS RARE SNOW DAY WHEN IT MEANS I CAN'T GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!?!

T2B81

http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

You've got to read this site. I was surfing the web and found it. Mr. Olson, I'm not too sure, but they're referring to water rite? Dihydrogen Monoxide... The dangers.

T2B80

ARGHHHHHHHHH sometimes I find it hard to blog everyday. I don't always have a chance to go online, since everyone's fighting for the computer all the time at my house. I have a laptop, but my dad banned me from using it for a few months. Whack rite. MY HOMEWORK IS AT STAKE... but i guess that's just my punishment for violating some deals we made.

T2B79

So there's this kid I've been trying to chat with online for a long time. But I never know whether that person's online or not because his ipods always turned on. Every time I talk to him, I always end up talking to myself. What a waste of electricity. Jacob, ur rite, i do need to get a life at the moment. but you do too. Don't deny it.

T2B77 - A DRAMATIC situation

It's funny - I was watching this chinese drama earlier in the week. My parents got mad at me. They said that I live int he modern world and need to do more stuff that are in fad here in present-day Canada. I told them that Asian dramas are a big fad today. They just got even more angry. I hate arguing with my mom - its pointless. I can never win. She just changes the topic and punishes me for something I did a month ago if she doesn't have a comeback. Then, later that nite, she was watching her 1980s drama episodes. So i guess people are only allowed to watch stuff from their generation? NO. I can loosen up a bit and watch whatever I want once in a while, can I???

T2B75 - MURDER SHE WROTE

HOLY CRAP A KNIFE...
OK so today, my mom brought home a really really sharp crystal knife . It had traces of red stuff near the tip. I gASPED. no really nothing happened. No one was killed. just my mom opened an envelop with a valentines day card made of sandpaper. freaked you out for a sec, did I?

T2B74

Hey, Mr. Olson, did ms Anderson already mark all the brain presentations and stuff? cause I'm having trouble linking my presentation onto the excel. I'll come early on Monday, could you help me?

T2B73

This is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy freaky. The actor of Percy in Percy Jackson and the Olympians movies looks just like Zac Efron. Either that or I really don't know hwat zac efron looks like. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. hehe
The actress who plays Annabeth wayyyy off from the description in the book. Really, did these people evenr ead this book? Annabeth is supposed to have blonde hair and stormy grey eyes. The actress int he movie has brown hair and blue eyes. She's pretty, but not exactly what the book fans are after. i though she was Clarisse at first. Mr. Olson, you must think I'm crazy and what does it matter, but i'm critical!!!!!!!!!!

T2B72 - THE JUSTIN BIEBER FAD PICS

When was he ever bald? My mom says he's hideous this way, like one of them people with caner.

Really? My gosh i can't believe this. What the... THIS IS MOCKING CANADA

THIS IS JUST PLAIN WEIRD. GOMEZ AND HER BIG BUBBLE HEAD AND BIEBER THE DWARF. - my friend, as you can see, really dislikes JB

T2B71

Never say Never - so that's the New Justin Bieber fanatic. I haven't seen it yet, but they say it's a biography of his life. This movie is the new hit of the year probably. I know a few kids who once hated him, but now completely have the bieber fever. People used to hate him. I'm not sure why. I've always thought that he was okay. He's got a good voice, but i don't think he deserves that many fans. Is he truly good enough to be famous world-wide? Idk - what's his real talent? Spirit. I do admit that his dancing is pretty rad.

btw, he just god a new haircut, and Rachel thinks it's so hot. I have never seen anyone croon over JB like that before. In the NEVER SAY NEVER trailer, some girls said that  he gives them hope. Isn't that just ridiculous? HAHAHAHA

T2B70

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH - Here's my complaint about Dora/Diego blog #2. The damn video, why do they have to make so many episodes. The TV at our is always on, as long as my brother and my mom are home. Today, I managed to finally watch my Percy Jackson and the Olympians movie - the Lightning Theif.  It was awesome, but the story was completely modified from the book. The entire adventure had a different purpose, and so many really cool characters and gods were eliminated. I guess it would cost to much money for the crew team. I really wish they would quickly make the movie for the second book. Jerry was right, this movie is good. The percy jackson series will probably become the new Harry Potter phenominon.

T2B69

I'm not sure what to write about now, so I'm just gonna write about how i feel right now - which is really, really annoyed. My brother is right now watching his Diego CD for the 7th time tonite. Ever since he got home, he watches the same thing everyday. Doesn't he get tired of it? I wonder sometimes, he probably doesn't even understand. He doesn't answer the questions and just laughs at the stupid pictures. I've basically got the theme song memorized: " Go Diego Go. we're animal researchers. We cand o it. Swiper no swiping. Do you see a blah blah blah...? " I used to think Dora and Diego were educational videos, now I really hate them. My brother doesn't like sharing the TV either.  I was trying to watch a Percy Jackson video, and he cried for 2 hours before my mom gave up, got mad, got annoyed, and yelled at me to not watch. Somehow, he always manages to annoy my mom into getting his way. And I, the innocent one, have to suffer. T_T

T2B68

68, this is about the number of blogs I wrote last term.
I'm not so sure, how are we supposed to do the Go homework that supposed to be done in an "agenda"?

T2B67

OH NOOOOOOOO! All the term 2 Applied Skills work has to be done on Monday?!?!?! That's nearly impossible. We just learned about time planning and priorities - could we set the brain presentation reviews to next term? I'm having a mental breakdown rite now. *serves you rite Judy for not doing everything earlier.
PLEASE PLEASE CAN WE HAVE MORE TIME?

T2B65

OH MY GAWD SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How long do you think it'll last. So far, this winter has been really cold, wet, or cold, dry, or just cold to the bones. This morning the snow started at around 11 am. At 3 it was really big, and now it looks like they're starting to die down. It's gonna be a white winter for the rest of the week. Oh no, I hope i didn't just jinx it. Snow is so pretty in general - the clean, calm, pureness, and whiteness of it. Too bad we can pollute it so bad that it turns brown.

By the way, here's one way to check how dirty swings really are. wipe some pure snow on it. It will come out brown. I know, gross isn't it? Have you ever been skiing or snowboarding? It's a must try experience. But always remember to wear a face mask and goggles. Going downhill with the snow pinning and slapping against your face is really painful after a while.

T2B64

PERSEPHONE"S TALE:

So today, I did my presentation on Persephone - the Goddess of innocence, rebirth, Spring, and the Queen of the Underworld. I think the article I wrote was much better than my oral presentation. Here's a copy of my article so you can see how awesome essay was. It is written in first-person.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/18kJEjDTqAqBlWuNM4KKHsnbLL3PTqYDE4tWhfdo5k6k/edit?hl=en#

T2B63 - To keep or not keep...

So nows the big question. I just taken my science fair home, and like every other project I've made in the past, I totally love it. But it would be kind of expensive to buy a science fair display board every year. Many of my classmates too apart their boards at school today. You can hardly blame Tony for it, who basically spent 2 hours on this 5 months project. We got many good laughs at it, esp. Kevin Dhir. I don't want to take apart my board - it took so long to make, and believe me, i consider it a work of art. (not bragging not braggin. LOL) I guess I'll leave this problem to decide next year when I have to do another science fair. Maybe by then, I'll be tired of this board. i highly doubt that though

oh, i wish i could take of picture of my science fair, but i can't find my camera dammit.

T2B62 - SUPER PSYCHED ABOUT THE SCI-FAIR

GOSH, I'M SUPER EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAUSE GUESS WAT?!?!?!?! I JUST GOT 94% ON MY SCIENCE FAIR. THAT'S REALLY HIGH SO I'M PROUD. THEN AGAIN I TOTALLY DESERVE IT RIGHT, I DID SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON IT. BTW, CONGRATZ TO ALEX, LESLIE, AND CYNTHIA FOR MAKING IT INTO THE DISTRICT SCIENCE. WHEN IS IT ANYWAY???????? THEY HAD REALLY COOL TOPICS, ESPECIALLY CYNTHIA AND HER HOCKEY STICK EXPERIMENT. ALEX'S BOARD WAS MAZING, IT LOOKED SOOOO PROFESSIONAL. AND LESLIE'S, WELLLL.... I DIDN'T REALLY SEE HERS BUT IT HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH DRIVING SAFETY I THINK. GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! I WISH I HAD MADE IT. MAKE SURE TO TELL ME ALL ABOUT THE DISTRICT SCIENCE FAIR. i REALLY WANT TO KNOW.XD.

I guess when I make everything capitalized, its really like not capitalizing it at all. Quite pointless...

T2B61

Kay - so earlier this week, I went to this 15th anniversary celebration at a church in Burnaby for my Chinese school. It was pretty cool. Government officials came all the way from China, and a really pro acrobatic team of girls (10-13) performed for us flying in all the way from  Sichuan China, the place where the massive earthquake took place. They did really dangerous stuff like balancing on a rolling bucket and flipping backwards really fast while running and juggling 5 poles attached to spinning disks in each hand. All the speech and stuff was really boring, but the acrobatic show was the only thing that kept me really awake. It was really exciting, with everyone cheering and wowing. When they make a mistake, they tried again and succeeded.

T2B60

All the religions on social studies are beginning to get mixed up in my head. They all want us to not kill animals, to respect our ancestors in some way, to use good language, to end suffering, to find true happiness, to end salvations. blah blah blah. But aren't these all the things we should be doing regularly? respecting people, using good language, not killing, not committing crime. One of the Buddhist says were to "ONLY SPEAK WHEN NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone started laughing when I said that. What's so funny?  OK so maybe I speak a little too much, but Jacob says I EPIC FAIL  at that. ..... :(  BTW according to the news around a month ago, weren't fail and epic banned from the English language? With all the commotion in Egypt. They still have time to make stupid language laws like this. People are still gonna used these words anyway...

T2B59

My mom and dad tell me that sleeping helps you grow taller. And frankly, I'm really worried right now, cause there are periods of time where i sleep wayyyyyyyyyy past midnight. I feel like im shrinking. HELP what should i do now. I've learned my lesson about procrastination and wasting my time on urgent but unimportant stuff. Hobbies, basically. im so sleepy now though.

... more ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

T2B58

This is starting to feel just like the week before the science fair was due, when we had a HUGE Exam or project or test in nearly every subject on every day of the same week. Thinking back about it now, I'm not even sure how i got through it.  I just wish and yes, I do regret, that I did most of my work earlier. Im glad i have the big homework and stuff all done. Now, just the little things and assignments. But these small homeworks really pile up big over time. I should have planned out my time like Jack in the Go video.

T2B57

TERM TWO IS WRAPPING UP AND ALL THE HOMEWORK IS PILING UP AGAIN>

Let's see here. I've got to check through all my go lessons to make sure i did them and didn't skip anything, socials forum to catch up on, a lot of presentation reviews to finish. OH NO...  I should really do a list. OK, let's do this:

1. Brain presentation reviews
2. Go Lessons check up
3. socials forum
4. socials relgiion tests
5. BLOGS - gotta keep up
6. ENGLISH GOD presentation. ( at least i"ll be over that on Thursday)

7. to be continued once i think of more. I am currently experiencing a brainfreeze.

T2B56

I Forgot to do a few blogs, so now I am freakishly trying to make up for them. this is so sad. I have failed my first goal for term 2. (hey mr. Olson, I'm not gonna lose marks on that am I) My first goal of this term was to make sure to keep posting blogs every day. I was on a good streak on the beginning, then things started to fall apart. HOW COULD THIS BE!!!!!!!! must work harder next term. Right now, im so tired by i still have a lot of homework. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

T2B55

SHINTO - Japan's number one religion. This class, it is the easiest brochure to memorize. Screw Hindusim!!!! LIllian included a whole bunch of weird indian vocabulary that we now have to distinguish and memorize. Mormonism has a whole bunch of beliefs that are all so complicated. It is half and hour to midnight and I am freakiing out about the set of relgions test tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH GOSH - WHY DO I STILL HAVE A ScIENCE LAB REPORT OF FINISH???

T2B54

THE FIRST GREEK GODS PRESENTATIONS................

Oh my gosh - this is probably among the most interesting presentations i've ever done. We have to pretend we're a greek god/goddess and give a presentation. BTW I'm persephone - Queen of the Underworld. kool eh?

Vivian's hair was so pretty today. Her mom help her braid it all and put it into curls. she was playing Hera, along with Zeus, who was played by kevin dhir. He looked like an Arabian merchant all veilled up in his white sheets, white headdress, and white fake beard.

Alex was Cupid - he gave us all free chocolate. (bribing, but we still like his presentations. LOL)

Cynthia looked gorgeous!!! in her grad dress and all. She was Artemis. With a very very very very long tale.

Kathy C was Athena - draped in white sheets, and Natasha was Hestia - the nicest goddess int he world, in charge of her hearth and all.

Fiona was AWESOME - and had all the nerve. She was the only presenter along ith Kevin Dhir who completely memorized her speech. And She did her presentation first. Go PROMETHEUS!!!!!!!!!!!

T2B53

 Our Scientology and Asatru test was a piece of cake. Mainly because Scientology only has dynamics, not really its own religion. So basically, this meant we didn't have to memorize any gods, dates, worhip methods. etc. Just the Dianetcs, and in Asatru - We just had to memorize a whole bunch of sacred animals. Not complaining here, just happy we got off so easy on the first quiz

Chammy's awesome blogs - T2B52

OMG  I just read Chammy's blog - the one about her langara run at sunset. It was so funny!!!! I loved how she made her story so much funnier when she added: " I saw the same grandma TWICE." and at the end, "My mom opened the door..." That was probably one of the best laughs I've had this week so far with the stress and the urgency and impatience of the socials religions presentation which by the way turned out totally unexpected. *cough cough Jason*. Mr. Olsen, that totally deserves kid of the week hands down.

T2B51

Ugh - midnight. That when I end up having to do homework when I use the computer after my mom watches TV online. My family really needs to figure out our priorities better. Honestly - homework or TV, even though my mom gets really annoyed. OKies so let's look at the proactive side to this situation:  it exercises my speed to finish work. And if i don't get going on it now, all of this is gonna have to repeat tomorrow again. uh oh. Gotta go. Mom alert now.

Science Fair Due Tomorrow - T2B50

Tomorrow morning at 8:30, our science fair is due. FINALLY. After like 5 months, this big weight is lifted off our shoulders. Personally, not to be bragging, but I'm pretty proud of myself. We should have some kind of celebration, us synergy kids. Brainstorm ideas: party, day off, cafeteria coupons. Note to Mr. Olson:  You're welcome to grant us any of these ideas. I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. :) BTW: what size knitting needles do we need for your next unit. I bought size 5 and polyester( if that's how you spell it). I knitted before... but briefly.

Overstudying - T2B49

That's something I tend to do. I fretted for my science test, but it was a piece of cake, not that I'm complaining.I guess either way, we learn the same material. The concept sheet for review was harder than writing the test. The aspects covered were density, heat, temp, measurement, states of matter, viscosity, buoyancy, and KMT. Most of this is common sense, which made the studying WAYYYYY easier. The hardest science test this school year was in the first term when we had to memorized the organelles of a cell.

Well, that's another test/project down. Keep going...

T2B48

EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

This week is cramming with work due. Even though we don't have midterms, the stress level is up there already for us Synergy kids.
There's: science concept sheet
science test
English test
Socials test
science fair
socials presentation
english presentation

I'm so glad I'm done the brain presentation. That's less on my plate. I'm completely lost it last night. I guess this is a type of experience too

T2B47

My priorities:
homework
hobbies
friends/family

I guess this pathetic list could change sometimes, depending on who I'm with and how big of a portion a project is of my mark. Reading, online surfing and stuff like that are always high on my list. I love traveling, but I don't get to do that very often. BTW: I going to either Europe or HK this summer!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYY!!!!! I'm hoping to go to summer camp again next year. I know someone going to Venice during Spring Break. It's pretty cool there if you don't mind getting swayed all day.

T2B46

1. procrastinator
2. prioritizer

3. Yes-man
4. slacker

ok, so between these 4, I'm more of a slacker and a prioritizer. I can honestly say that I'm not much of a procrastinator, and not a complete Yes-man, but Yes-man's a good thing too right? Always there helping out friends. Otherwise your EBA would be really low and basically, a loner. I plan out my stuff everyday, but plans change when there's a good show on TV, or when I feel like biking, or when I want to finish a book. I guess I need to work on that, but sometimes, I just can't resist!

You've been saving up for a special treat, and today's the day. You know where to get it, so enjoy the process. don't worry about hwat others might think.

This prediction is wacko. It didn't come true, or did it.... probably  for little things. like the time... oh never mind.

HAHAHA funner things about Harper - T2B43

Harper looks back at his work with 'pride'
Check it out at 24 hr newspaper - January 24 2011
I swear you'll laugh... :P

On sunday, Harper and 1000 supporters gathered to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the election that brought the conservatives into government on  Jan 23 2006.
"Today, we may allow ourselves to pause, to take stock, to look back with satisfaction and perhaps just a little pride" Harper says.

I'm not so sure what he did that was so great.
He says: "What is important now - what is absolutely crucial -  is taht we do not tamper with the policies tat are working." - quote from our prime minister.
I'm so proud.
What the heck.Where's the proactive side to this?

T2B42

OMG I ddn't even know, Mary-kate and Ashley olsen have a sister - Elizabeth olsen. I used to really like them until they start to wear too much make-up and look scary. They used to be so naturally pretty, like sunshine girls, but now they're pale and scary. Elizabeth looks just as scary - no offense if you're one of their fans. HAHA she plays a young woman grappling for sanity in "Silent House". Perfect  for scary looking woman with pail skin and gaunt eyes...... or vampire.

who knew lemon juice is the only juice that grows mould so quickly in comparison to orange and grapefruit juice. You know, I've never really seen mould before. Now that I have, not a big fan of lemonade anymore. It's gross, furry, thick, smelly, and green. It's my science project. Think PROACTIVELY: it's a living organism. :P

Grilled-Cheese Sandwiches:

These are among my favourite types of sandwiches, besides Subway's meatball sub and Quizno's Torpedo sub. I'm hungry and angry rite now :( I'm HANGRY. Here's how to make a grilled cheese sandvich:

two slices of buttered bread
two slices of cheddar cheese
one frying pan.
1. put one slice of bread in the pan BUTTER SIDE DOWN
2. put cheese on top
3. wait about a minute or two. The butter should be melted on the bottom side and starting to brown.

Srry, have no time to blog right now - must go finish my science experiment.... ARGGGGHHHH So many dang projects. At least now I'm finished my book talk and brain presentation. 2 down 2 more to go. *sigh*

"Self-control is a way to freedom."

I got this phrase from my Go Progress. This really reflects something I remember my dad said to me when he got me my laptop: This laptop is a new freedom and privilege. Use it with self-control, or I will take it away as a harmful object." What do you know, typical dad.

THE LAST OLYMPIAN - by Rick Riordan

I have been waiting to get my hands on this book for over 4 months. Today, I finally found it in Oakridge library. It is supposed to be the last of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians. OMG Those were my favourite series like 2 years ago, just like Harry Potter. This particular book is really popular. My friend who put this book on hold a few months back said that there were 50 people in line waiting. Just that makes my head dizzy. ok now, I'm gonna get started on this book.

T2B35

ARGHHHHHHHHH - my computer crashed earlier. Now I have to rush some of my homework. It's like the Internet has something against me. So slow right now. This is why I like working on my laptop. Macbooks are fast unlike this ancient computer.

T2B34

I double-check. I'm not sure whether that's a comment or a problem, but that's what a few of my teachers said about me. Is being too sure about something or asking questionnes to confirm a bad thing? I don't see the downside.

T2B33

Parent's night. so that's tonite. You know, if I could find a curse where I could read people's minds, I'd use it now. I mean have you ever wondered what your teachers really think about you? or how your parents think about your comments? OH MY LANTA its 6:54. I should tell my mom to hurry up. That's a typical parent. They get mad at you when you're late.  They get mad at you for pointing out when they're late as well. *sigh*

Pro-Ds
These days are so dull - i mean, being home alone, I'd much rather be at school. At least its more fun and time pasts more quickly. People say that you should enjoy your childhood. How come I'm not enjoying it so much? NVM think proactively. I get a break. It means more time for homework. The teachers get a break. .... I out of ideas......

The god of Buddhism - T2B31

wow - Buddhism - seems like the perfect set of beliefs to follow for enlightenment. In general, it applies to everyone: people who have nothing especially.  The Buddhism concept is that pain suffering, and owning very less is good for eternity and the afterlife. That's pretty much all the ordinary people in ancient China and India had - the least, so they all liked the Buddhist's reasoning.

Do you think it's true: the more we love the more suffering we have?

T2B30

ARGHHHHH
Right now I'm in socials class - in the PC lab supposedly working on my world religions project. I was gonna do my sale trivia and food for though on thursday, but I forgot the password to my account. So sadly she says, now I've missed my duedate for this week and will lose 2 pointless marks.  I will have to catch up by doing a whole lot of current events points - see if I can get a few bonus points to make up.

Before this week, I was doing so well on keeping my weekly due dates up to date on the socials forum. NOOOOO!

Back at school - T2B29

woke up and feeling better this morning. So here i am, walking to school in the wind, freezing my ears off. Ugh, I have gym 1st block. this means headstand, which means headache, which means that I might get to review my breakfast again. right now it's lunchtime. oh, that's the bell - gotta go

BAI BAI DADDY!!!!!!!!!!1

That plane you see flying over your head right now and heading for HK, is the flight my dad's on. He left this morning at 9 o'clock. He left two hours early. Dad says: better safe than sorry. I'm not gonna risk it. So now he's gone. His visit this time was longer than usual. I'm not used to him being somewhere else anymore. WAHHHHHHHHHHH1 I want my daddy. Soooooooooooooo lG, but who cares now? I'm so depressed, and sick, and sore. T___T

Nauseau attack again.- T2B27

Today in school, I left at 12:10 pm. I was restless all morning - people who don't know me would guess that someone died. It took me like a good 20 minutes to get a hold of my dad on the phone. So this is what he does when I'm at school - make half an hour calls to his friends in HK. gosh. I slept until 7 o'clock at night, and still felt drowsy. What the HELL!! I was feeling fine yesterday. It's like my immune system has something against me. I get punished in both cases.

A white bus - T2B26

I don't feel very well - I had this dream last night that I was driving a white bus that spun and made me dizzy. My mom said I was up in the middle of the night with my head int he toilet. No wonder whenever I hit the turn signal, there was a flushing sound. I'm not sure what happened. I was feeling fine yesterday. Suddenly today, I have aches in my legs and arms, sores and a bad headache. Everything I eat seems to be hanging at my throat and ok I will stop typing. Well - my mom made some chicken noodle soup.

babbling little bro - T2B25

I'm sitting here working on homework, or was. We're in the living room, and behind me, my brother's babbling with my mom. My parents encourage him to speak aloud more english, but seriously after an hour and a half - i get really annoyed, my head's about to explode. I'm guessing all kids with 4/5 yrs old little brothers go through this. mmmmh pleasant. give me an exercise of patience. A sense of ability. I guess I could take advantage of this situation, and look at a positively, for me. BE PROACTIVE!!!!!!!!!1

T2B24

CROISSANTS - dessert of France.

I love these, although they're not all that healthy. A friend brought those over as a snack/meal. we stuffed them with nutella - and became fatasses. hehehehehe This is why breakfast is sometimes considered france's most wonderful meal. so simple - a cup of coffee/hot chocolate & a croissant. I SOOOOOOOOO want to go there - a sudden urge of wanting to go right now. I'm not sure why. I'm like this sometimes, overwhelmed by one subject, but then I get over it in a day or two. Tomorrow's longing might be back in china haha.

T2B23

Wow, I'm good. Today, I wrote my chinese term paper. I basically forgot about this exam until these two days. So when I say I barely studied, I'm not exaggerating - but I wish I were. still,  I'm incredible, I got 2nd place - a 98%. holy crap!* Chinese (mandarin) comes easy to me, since I speak it at home, so I've got a bit of an advantage, but still, I got such a high score on the written aspect. Impressive - *pat on the back*. That's another test down.

T2B22

World religions class - we're gonna start that in Socials (synergy) 8 next class. I hope I get taoism, shinto, buddhism, or jainism... They seem interesting. India is the origin of so many religions. It makes me dizzy to think about all the differences. I'm really new towards studying religion. What we've often done in the past is study culture and civilization. I guess this is more understanding towards a belief and a way of life. I don't really want a really broad topic - too hard to give a report on - there's too much info, but I don't want one where there are only 5 articles about it in the world wide web. I guess I'm picky picky, but everyone's like this - easier time. :)

I'm so excited about the religions we're gonna learn, less enthusiastic about the big projects, but still - filled with ecstasy.

thank god thank god - T2B21

today, I am officially finished my brain presentation. In fact, with a few more practice rounds of speech, I could probably volunteer to do my presentation on the14th - Friday. I want to do it near the beginning to get it over with, since I've got two more big projects to go. This way, I could begin to life some of the homework load off my back. Left-handedness. It's been lots of fun to research, to be honest - lots of really cool info I never new before. Who would have guess that all left handers had once had a twin, but they were absorbed back into the mother's body! Weird, but interestings. I put that under my Did You Knows

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! - T2B20

The brain presentation is due next day - and I'm still abit confused about parts of the criteria. WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!!!!!!! Must find more time..... or Mr. Olson could be really nice and extend the due date just a day or two more. For now, thanx if you do. Oh well, I had to give it a shot of you don't. Peace.

T2B19

I've been reading Halfbrother by Kenneth Oppel - it's an awesome book, I tell you. It's his latest novel - not part of a series. It is influenced by a chimpanzee were a science drags his family across the country for a rare science experiment. I have to do my book talk on it, so I'm really taking it out in detail. I haven't read may of Oppel's books before, despite how immensely popular the Silverwing Saga is. After how much I loved Halfbrother, I should really try it out. There's one phrase I learned from Halfbrother that I really like. It goes something like this: When you take an animal away from its natural habitat, it will always be a prisoner in cells even if the owners are nice. The difference would be whether the prison guards (us) are nice or not.

T2B18

A word of advice - if you ever go skiing, go more than once. You'll get used to it and begin to enjoy it more towards the later days. I'm serious. I haven't been skiing in like about 2 years. Today, I come home very sore, in pain, tired, and cold. I also smell like skii boots. Whoopee. :(. We're probably going again tomorrow, so I'm gonna work on having a better time. It's a once-in-a-year kinda thing. It's my job to learn to (have to) love it.  I really do once I get used to the soreness.

Another word of advice - always bring a change of warm dried clothing. It'll be much more comfortable. Trust me, I've had experience.

lights OUT - T2B17

My Gosh!!!! - today - the electricity line cut down, so there was an unplanned new bedtime. It's about 6:30 - I'm gonna go to bed in a minutes. Seems funny to think of how little humans have now when electricity is not an option. No games, homework, light, TV, refrigeration, phone - that's most of our daily lives. We go back old-schooled and tried spotting stars. I only saw the big Dipper. I'm not too sure what many other constellations look like anyway. My mom told me a few chinese stories/legends about them. And to be honest, it was really pretty cool. I had a surprisingly good time and it was one of those nights where we were all ears. - happy ears:)
