Now that school is over (for now) I have not been too productive other than going to the gym. Working only two days a week has been great--I have lots of free time! Maybe too much... Basically, I'm bored. If only this rainy weather would lighten up a little and I can actually go outdoors and enjoy the sunshine when I'm NOT working. I'm hoping to pick up a few more shifts a week, actually, because I need to make more money. If IK does not give me an extra shift I'll have to pick one up from Hollister again. I'm trying to save up for for either a car or a trip somewhere (both will be equally expensive) which requires me to definitely work more than twice a week! It'll be difficult since I have to pay my phone bill and for my luxuries. Either way, putting aside at least $100 per paycheck will suffice. In the end, it will be SO worth it.

I'm excited for summer school. Although it may seem ridiculous and wasteful to enroll in only one class, I still want a "care-free" summer and I still want to be able to work a ton. Can't wait for days at the beach, evening dinners, clubbing, and strolls down Steveston or the Seawall. So many things to do!EEEEEEEEEEEEK! I'm getting butterflies thinking about the summer.

Until then,

All I want to do is sleep...

But first, it'd be nice to rant a little bit :P

Why do professors have to make all their assignments and exams all in the same time frame? CRUELNESS! What did I ever do to you, professors?!

Sigh... okay, no worries. I will make it through. Just got to pick an ad from the 1920s or 30s and write about it based on Marchand's chapters from Advertising the American Dream. Except I haven't read too much... Why? Each chapter is like 30 pages long and the font is super tiny!

Do the professors actually expect us to read and remember everything? Silly them. Then I have the French midterm... and then my other communications class midterm which is based on our readings which are also about 30 pages long with tiny font (per author). Seems almost unreasonable. Ahh brain overload! Reading break was definitely NOT a reading break; more like... go on vacation/do-nothing break.

Anyways enough. Let's do this! Only less than 2 months left before exams! Then it'll be SUMMER! But i'm still debating whether i want to do summer courses yet... I should though :/

Contemplating and stressing o.0

THE WEEK AHEAD...

The worst has passed! I managed to pull through and finish all that I needed to for this month and I won't have anything due until Feb 28. But that doesn't mean I should slack! I'm trying to think ahead and do my work now instead of procrastinating which I totally did for my last paper because I actually did not have enough time to do. Luckily next week is reading break! (And may I add, Valentine's Day!)

Now, I don't want to be too excited about it because it shouldn't really matter since Valentine's Day shouldn't be the only day you show the one you care about your affection and appreciation. You should appreciate those you love everyday!

But I do have to admit it's a day where a girl can feel extra special... or if worst comes to worst, it somehow totally goes wrong :P but let's try to stay positive. What are you going to do for your sweetheart? ;)

This reminds me of a funny thing. I was at work and speaking with another co-worker, Scott, asking him what he's doing on Valentine's Day when a server interrupted saying "Oh Valentine's Day? Just the other day I overheard someone calling it 'SINGLES AWARENESS DAY'" and then the three of us bursted out laughing. I guess Valentine's Day isn't something everyone looks forward to :P

Then it's homework, reading, and studying! Work... and school. What I would love to do is go for a walk on a sunny, crisp, cool day down at Steveston. It's so refreshing and relaxing. I actually took a walk there with Alex last month and a swan was swimming in the water. It was lovely but lonely. Hopefully it finds its mate before Monday :P jokes.

Ahhh... I think I need a new job? I like my job now but I think a change or addition would be kinda nice. But I'll probably hold off on it since I'm still in school. Haven't decided if I want to do summer courses and if I do I'll probably just have the one job. We'll see!

Anyways, GREAT GAME TONIGHT CANUCKS! Let's keep our number 1 spot! WOOT!

Sun Peaks is beautiful! The scenary up on the mountains was absolutely spectacular. As for the trip itself, it was interesting and didn't go exactly as planned but hey, it's an experience to look back and laugh. First night we left Richmond at around 5pm and got there at midnight (we made so many stops to Tim Hortons and to shop for groceries). The ride up was also scary and dangerous. Snowing/raining/hailing or whatever it was! Some cars were flipped upside down on the side and another car went into a ditch!

But once we got there we tried using the code to enter the condo but guess what? It didn't work and we called the property manager and no one picked up. Luckily there was a nice lady next door that let us in and tried to help but there wasn't much she could do. She offered to let us stay at her condo but it was nice enough she already let us in! So we all had to sleep in the cars. Worst sleep i've ever had! Haha. Anyway we got the code in the morning and got refunded for the night and got free pizza. Then we had breakfast and hit the slopes. Soooo exhausting!

SUPER SORE THE NEXT DAY! My whole body is aching but I got up to go snowboarding anyway. I was getting sort of cranky cuz i'm so terrible at snowboarding haha but i'll get better as I practice more. Then we went into the hot tub again (outdoors!) Then we went to the pub and I can't remember what it was called. Drank a bit, played the hockey machine on alex's team and owned everyone else! Went back to our condo around 1:30am (or was it 2am?) And made some Kraft Dinner and finally went to bed around 3am.

Our last day here Alex and I didn't go snowboarding while everyone else did. We explored "The Village" and ate there and looked around at their shops. There wasn't too much to do in this area. Alex and I had some alone time in the hot tub and it was awesome! We totally pigged out on chips :P and enjoyed each other's company. Soon after we all had to pack and go home. Trip home wasn't as scary but it was extremely foggy until we got off the Coquahala?? But anyway, HOME AT LAST!!!!

Although it was an amazing trip it's back to business. I have a super busy schedule as follows:

Jan 31 - cmns 223w Semiotics Paper

Feb 3 - french 211 Quiz 1
Feb 28 - french 211 midterm
Feb 28 - cmns 223w 1920s Advertising Paper

Mar 1 - cmns 221 midterm
Mar 7 - french 211 Devoir 2
Mar 14 - french 211 Quiz 2
Mar 15 - cmns 221 presentation
Mar 28 - french 211 Devoir 3

Apr 4 - french 211 Quiz 3
Apr 4 - cmns 223w presentation
Apr 4 - cmns 223w Term Paper
Apr 5 - cmns 221 Term Paper

Along with that hectic schedule, i have plenty of readings to do AND work. Busy busy busy... I'm a busy bee :)

To start off my blog today I'd like to tell a story.

It happened yesterday on my way home from school. I had just gotten onto the back section of the 135 bus and went a few stops before this "dude" hops in the back. He nabs a seat next to this girl and starts to talk to her. He says aloud, "Hey, you wanna help me start a conversation? I want to try to get this entire back section to join in on our conversation." And the girl looks at him like wtf but says "okay?" So they get the girl next to the girl he started the conversation with to join in, then they get the girl next to me to join in (i was across from this "dude" and two girls) But after that no one else joins in (haha) so he decides to tell these 3 girls an experience of his. He says "I feel asleep on this bus but heading towards the other way (westbound) and when I woke up I saw lots of snow. I thought to myself, 'where am I? Am i in Whistler?' So I get off and I ask someone, 'Hey do you know where I am? Am i at Whistler?' The person replied with a strange look and said, 'uhmmm... you're at SFU' "

LOL. I tried so hard not to laugh just then and there. I looked at this guy... I'm pretty sure he was drunk. Anyway onto today...

SFU Surrey campus is AWESOME. It's so much shorter commuting there than to the Burnaby campus. And SFU surrey is small and cute and has a shopping centre AND a T&T! I'm going to try to get a few more classes here in the future.

So I heard it's gonna snow tonight. Yay for me because I won't be travelling anywhere tomorrow morning but around my home in my pyjamas possibly eating rice krispies cereal and possibly watching Phineas and Ferb or whatever else is on.

I'm excited for tomorrow afternoon because Alex and I will be doing some grocery shopping and then making (healthy) pizza and (healthy) snacks and sandwiches for our trip! I can't wait to hit the slopes again :) This time i actually have to try to carve...

Since I'm skipping class on Thursday... my weekend starts NOW! But first I need to go to Hollister and have our group photos taken then it'll officially be the weekend.

Just living the good life.

SCHOOL IS BACK! Can i add that i'm also fat?

I haven't gained any weight but my body is definitely needs to hit the gym SOOO (just half an hour ago) i finally bought a year's pass to the gym! So that was the easy part...now it's actually motivating myself to go to the gym is the challenge. I need to brainstorm some ways to keep me motivated or at least exercising daily.

Funny school started just yesterday. I know Kwantlen & UBC started on tuesday... Langara starts next week! Oh well...I don't mind coming back to school; I had only one class this week anyway. My amazing french class! It's so much fun speaking french again but honestly i'm a little intimidated by some of the great french speakers in our class just because I haven't been practicing any french since i graduated high school.

I have no class today but i will be heading up that mountain to get a textbook to do some homework that's already due for monday! Gives me something academic to do. I should pick up a book to read for a hobby. Should look up some great reads online..

So school on mondays, tuesdays, and thursdays. 3 courses in total. That gives me enough space to study, go out, work, and work out :)

Just livin' the simple life.

2009-08-26T04:49:00.000-07:00

These past months have flew by! I can't believe the summer has gone by so fast! Feels like it was just yesterday when I was at Dry Grad and just leaving to go to camp. CAMP. How I miss it so much but it was fun while it lasted. 7 weeks was definitely long enough! (I miss all my friends and family!) I met so many new and amazing people. It really impacted my life. I was a role model to many of the kids I worked with. We had lots of good times ...and there were bad too, but overall we learned to work together as a team --and that's what matters most! I can't wait to go back next year and really make the best of my last year and really try to motivate and inspire all those kids. Wish me luck on that !

After reading Dana's post...I've also come to realize that this is it. I'm no longer in high school! I can't keep doing all those things I've done in high school... going out all the time, skipping school, or not doing homework. Seriously. I got to be more mature! I'm in UNIVERSITY. My life is just starting. And when "all is well, it ends well." If i want my life to be good, i'm going to have to put in an effort. Nothing in life comes easy--or for free! If I'm paying for this education I'm freaking going to get the best out of it...and take advantage of it if i can! (My inner asian is speaking! HAHA) Once September 3rd hits, I'm going to take things differently. I've had all summer to have fun so now it's time to get down & dirty. I'm going to work hard! I need to work hard.

Why do i have to work so hard? Because my parents & family are counting on me to do well. Because I don't want to waste MY time and MY money. Because I want a good, happy life. Because i WANT to work hard. This university business isn't going to be easy or simple. I'll have to try my best. I'm going to expect that university is going to be stressful, difficult, long, and tiring but at the same time I'll be learning and socializing; becoming a strong, successful person that I want to be...that i WILL be. Doing that means I really got to get out of my high school habits... and stop spending so much money!

Always keep an optimistic point of view. Never give up. I have my family to support me and love me. FAMILY WILL ALWAYS BE FAMILY. No matter what happens, family will always be there. Always & I have GREAT friends that will always be by my side. And i'll be there for them, too! Sure we'll fight and have our different opinions once in awhile...but that's what makes a friendship so much stronger (in most cases at least) :/ we are learning more and more about one another each step of the way. I'm not able to go through this whole university thing without my friends. Hopefully they'll stick out for me cuz I know i will stick out for them :)

I really hope things will turn out in the end. I want to be a good role model to my brother and sister AND to my cousins. I want to make a positive impact on other people's lives and I think going to school and doing well is the first step. You can't help others until you help yourself.

OH DEAR;

I've got a BIG calculus test tmr and tuesday (it's a 2 day final exam) and i am in the shit ! I need to study but it's honestly so confusing ! I guess I'm going to TRY to pull an all nighter hehe. I've got no time because today I need to go to SFU for my information session and I think it will help me in the future so I need to go tonight... which cuts my calculus study time by 3 and a half hours. Although it will be hard to concentrate today due to the lovely weather, I CAN DO IT ! I am not going to fail ! Anyway, just wanted to write something up :) Gonna study for a bit now until I need to leave. Byeeeeee!

NICK DENBEIGH

Ever since I saw the Us Against the World music video by Christina Milian, he has been my new eye candy. Check him out!

Us Against the World

Filmed in the sand dunes, this song is about no matter what happens they will have always each other, anywhere, anytime. I find this song hopelessly romantic! If i could sing and had a boyfriend, i would totally sing it to him! HAHA

I'm really proud of Christina Milian. She was from rags to riches. She writes almost all her songs and she can actually sing! She has worked really hard to get to where she is today so I think she deserves some more appreciation from people. I love her new single and I think it should have been at a higher rank. It is definitely not 73 / 100 on the top 100 billboard chart. It should be at least an 85. No matter what, I'm a fan! Keep it up the great work, Christina!

2009-04-13T02:05:00.000-07:00

Just taking it one step at a time...

Life's a never-ending rollercoaster ride but,

Luckily for us, there will always be breakdowns.

It’s your life

Things may not always go right, for you

In those times just leave it behind

`Cause sometimes you gotta play the game

Just to survive. Without losing yourself

It’s a fight, it’s true

It takes time, don’t have all the answers

No matter how hard it gets

Hold on to what’s inside

In the dark the paint chips have weighted

Your heart, so deep

Can’t you see? See the light in the distance

Open up your eyes, look, look to the sky

And believe

There’s much more to life when you're free

That’s the key

And in time you will find all the answers

Don’t have to lose your pride

Hold on to what’s inside

Don’t care what they say anymore

There’s no time to be insecure

I'm leaving it all at the door

She's staring at [them] in the face

She’s taking it day by day

I’m finally on my way

Don’t never let nobody bring you down, girl

Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart

Look in the mirror and see who you are

Beautiful U R

- Deborah Cox -

No matter what may happen this year, I will always keep my head held up high. If i don't succeed, I will try, try again. Making mistakes is all part of the deal. What's most important is that I learn from these mistakes. I will not give up & I will not back down from my goals. That is the number one priority. All goals will have obstacles and they be hard to achieve but in the long run the outcome will be worthy.

I am graduating from high school this year. I need to grow up; I need to be less immature. I have the entire world in front of my face and I am going to reach out and gently grab it. I wouldn't survive a year in the real world if I go out like this, right now. I need to make a change, a change for the better.

If I'm going to face the world, I will definitely need some help. No matter what happens, even when we have an argument, family is family. & Don't dwell on past/present friends; life will always move on, honey! I've decided now whom are my real friends and I will keep them by my side to laugh with me, to cry with me, and to play this crazy game, called Life, with me.

I'm just trying to live my life to the max, happily and drama-free. If you don't roll with me, it's cool. Just don't get in my way. I'm serious. Lol.

No, seriously.

2009-04-05T22:45:00.000-07:00

It's kinda funny how some things turn out...

But you must make do with the good & the bad,

The happy & the sad

And don't get mad when things don't go the way you planned.

But realize;

the sky's the limit.
Never give up on your dreams.

God is on your side.

2009-03-31T18:01:00.000-07:00

Okay, i'm getting ready for tonight but before i leave, i am going to write up this post really quickly or else i will never have the chance to do it (since i'm so busy!) i cannot believe i haven't updated for 3 weeks in total now, haha. anyhoo here's a few pictures from Florida. Disneyworld was amazing. I hope to go there in the future with a bf ;) and my bffs and their bfs lol it may sound superficial, but hey, who knows?

Lol yeah, most of these pictures are of just me since you know, it is my blog :) hehe. anyhoo, i really gotta go. i'll try to update later sometime this week. byee

p.s. SOPHIE! my pictures are freaking MASSIVE! LOL

2009-03-07T23:42:00.000-08:00

CONFLICT.

So there's this boy, wait, let's make it two.
They've got me confused & thinking of what to do.
I know I should be more focused on school,
But holding this in my heart really isn't cool
...
I've made my decision, but how to do it?

*

Lol i tried thinking of a poem but my brain just doesn't seem to be functioning properly right now. One thing I know for certain is that this school year is going by too bloody fast. I really want it to slow down but the world's not here to wait for me all day long. One rule: Make the best of it. Fuck the shit that's going on; I JUST WANNA HAVE FUN :)

Speaking of having fun... (it is just around the corner!) I know that the better things in life are always the little things. Going on little walks, going to the library, and simply staying at home chilling with your friends, just talking, is more fun than you may actually think. Some people ask me what I do on my weekends and I reply them without hesitation that I just hung out with a few close friends (without spending much money). Then they tell me how they went to a party and drank or went to an event and I guess compared to what I did, it does sound pretty lame. But it's what's on the inside that counts. I had just as much fun as those people did, who partied & drank. Somehow I totally prefer just playing cards or having dinner at someone's house and truly be myself. I don't hafta get all dressed up in front of my friends all the time --and it's great! Chatting & gossiping & telling each other funny jokes or stories is just so relaxing. This is how it's supposed to feel when you're around people you love...that's why you love `em! Hehe. Yes, I sure do love them & like I always say,

"As time goes on...our friendship will only grow stronger"

FRIENDS `TIL THE END

Have I known you all my life?

Or did I just meet you last month?

I don't care. It's what's inside that truly counts.

Your personality, your righteousness & your honesty

Is what attracts me.

As a friend, not a lover, even though you want me to be ;)

Through all of this, I know you'll be there.

Be there for me.

What is a good friend? Well that depends on you.

You want funny, smart, or serious?

Loyal, ethnic, or trustworthy?

A good friend isn't perfect, mind you.

Everyone makes mistakes;

The important thing is we learn from them.

Through it all, I know you'll be there.

Be there with me.

If you're feeling down & blue or if you have great news

I hope you know that I'm only one call away!

I am like the sister you've always wanted with

Helpful ears to listen or a blabber mouth for advice

Needless to say I can put up with your bitchiness

Cuz, Hey! What are friends for?

So no matter what happens, I'll be there.

Be there for you.

Friendships can start & end in a blink of an eye.
They may break up, but they can make up too!
It's everything we do together that builds the friendship.
Without those silly late night calls & endless sleepovers
I'd die of boredom & the loss of great friends.
Well, things change, time flies --it's a new generation.
But through it all, I know you'll be there.
Be there for me.

Hollaaaaaa` february has been such a craazy month, but it's been fun & in a way challenging. School is going along well and my applications are officially done! Dance is definitely coming along. I'm excited for saturday! The past 2 weeks have been crazy fun!

Last week I went bbt with Sophie, Pasu, Leon & that Nick dude at zephyr and it was so much fun! We played that card game we always play but then....the Nick dude really sucks haha! Then afterward i went to Crystal's with Sophie. OMG. Scariest shit happened! There was a man creeping in the alley to the back where Sophie & I were waiting for Auntie to open the door at the back. He freaking popped out and scared the living daylight out of us. Sophie said, "OH MY GOD!" then half a second later I say, "AHHHHH!" then the man's facial expression is shocked & scared and he says, "OH! Ah! You scared me too!" Anyway, I think I've been to Crystal's house almost everyday! Why? TO CHILL, OF COURSE! haha funny thing was how the first night i went, Grace & Dana were there before! What a coincidence! But then I fell asleep on the floor haha

Then the second night was Allan's birthday dinner at Earls at Lansdowne. Haha before Allan arrived, Sophie & I went to Toys R` Us and we rode the scooter, the skateboard, and we BIKED! haha funniest shit. I rode on the training wheels and a little girl came around the corner riding a two-wheeled bike. So I said to her, "Excuse me!! Can you teach me how to ride a bike?!" Then behind her, her dad came up. HAHA omg & he had the grumpiest look on his face! I think I might replace crystal on my "tagged list" and change "The Grumpy One" to the dad. Anyhoo, dinner was yummy....but definitely not filling. After that, Soph, Pasu, Leon and I went to mcd to eat chicken nuggets! Yum... then we went to espot, neta, rush...all full! So I went to Crystal's with Sophie & Leon cuz we couldn't make up our minds on what to do. Yeah. We didn't do much at first. Sophie & I watched tv while leon dota-ed. Then Sophie accidently unplugged the computer so leon died....on dota that is! haha then leon left cuz he was being a poo poo & "want to go home" Later on Clement arrived with his lover, Joe & his girlfriend, Beer LOL....plus everyone RockBand-ed without me :(

OMG. I PASSED! i actually passed. I just got the badge and i can't wait to sew it on. If i had failed this exam, i would've nearly quit. I'm so happy. Now I'm able to staff at Vernon :) So this weekend was really tough. I had to exercise (practice sit ups, push-ups, the long jump, and the shuttle run [the beep test]) I met many new people. Like this one guy. He is so cute & sexy! But then, it can only be a crush cuz nothing can ever happen. Not that I really want anything to happen, actually. Haha. But now, i can finally re-focus on school, once again! Yay!

So yeah. Hope you all had a good valentine's day! Until next time, checking it out!

Wow, another week has gone by so fast! Big White was absolutely amazing :) I met new people and the trip itself was fabulous. The only downside to this trip was that it wasn't long enough ANd it's wayy overpriced. Still, it's not everyday we get to go up and you-know-what, haha. Anyhoo, i don't feel the need to talk about Big White anymore because that's over and done with (it was absolutely fun though!) Ohhh, and here's the phone I got :)

I love it (L)

2009-01-21T21:14:00.001-08:00

all i want to do is enjoy life.

Why do some people make things so complicated? Just making a big deal over nothing. Really, I believe we make the choices that make our life either easy, hard, or balanced. For example, if you choose not to do your homework, you are making your life harder in the long run because you won't know anything. Don't always expect people to help you because they are not always going to be in your life. So right now, why don't you try to make it easy? If you don't start now, who knows how long it's gonna take for you to get back on your feet.

Not only that, why do people try to make your life a living hell? What's the point?! Don't be caught up in doing shit like that when you should be enjoying your life! I try to live by the rule:

Do unto others as you would want them to you

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. If you're gonna be critical, use constructive critiscm. Right now, I'm just trying to take the "easy" way in life by doing all I have to do now --independently. I hope you do, too. Just live your life.

2009-01-13T23:34:00.000-08:00

wow. i feel as if i haven't been on the computer in forever yet it's only been 3 days since i've last posted. ahhhhhh, these past 2 weeks have been extra hectic. most of the time after school i would go home and sleep because by the end of the day i am extremely exhausted! nowadays, the only thing that has been on my mind is school. i'm trying really hard to bring up my grades and i've been applying for post-secondary. i am also writing up scholarship applications which are such a pain! therefore, since the new year, i haven't gone out-gone out--at all. I haven't watched any new movies, i haven't gone shopping, i haven't done anything! for this whole month i am going to be so busy!

i can't wait for this semester to be over because i will be in Florida at DisneyWorld with my HOMIES!!!!!!! (L) Sophie, Crystal, and Swana during spring break! I am so excited! Gone for 7 days! :) Lemme make a list right now before I go to bed.

3 summery dresses
flip flops & 1 pair of heels for a nice dinner
shorts & t-shirts
hair straightener/curler
passport! lol
sunglasses + contacts + reg. glasses
bikinis x 3
journal
2 sweaters + 2 jeans
accessories (necklaces, earrings, etc)
hygiene kit (toothbrush, razor, etc)
camera! lol sophie can bring her polaroid once she finds it ;)
hat & purse & wallet
COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINES!!! muahaha

i know there's more...swana and i made a list lol but i can't remember all of them since i'm trying to remember the 5 formulas for calculus at the same moment.

...i feel like such a hypocrite! :( here i am typing up all this nice stuff that i'm bringing to disneyworld while poor children are suffering out there. hmmm what should i do?

2009-01-10T00:27:00.000-08:00

what the shit...i found out children actually get paid 3 cents an hour.

2009-01-08T00:17:00.000-08:00

Sometimes i wonder about the saying... funny things happen to funny people. hmm? I don't think I'm all that funny but this week has been randomly REALLY funny...

Monday: 805am
I decided to eat cereal for breakfast. My cereal is located on top of my refrigerator. I reach up to grab it, put it on the counter top. Then I open my fridge for the milk. I make my cereal. Then I put the cereal and milk away. Only mistake--- I put the cereal box in the fridge instead. When i realized what i did, i ACTUALLY lol'd and said "wtf"

Tuesday: 1107am
We were all waiting for Dana to come for her "surprise" of the mini-cakes. Grace wants to put candles on them but Allan says No, it's such a hassle. He also says that he, himself, can be the candle and that Dana can blow him. 2 seconds later he adds on that he's really hot . . . like a candle! seriously. what a joke!!

Wednesday: 205pm
Me, Betty, and Tiffany are sitting in Geo class. Randomly Betty starts laughing. I ask her, "What's so funny!?" She says: "Because it's so cold in ___(name of place i forgot)____, all the parking meters froze." We all look at each other and randomly start laughing.. it wasn't even that funny...but somehow, it was funny? well. derick in glasses was pretty funny :)

Yeah. I just spent the past 4 hours applying & searching for universities and colleges. Why are applications so expensive?! Plus, filling out all those applications were REALLY annoying, plus, i'm still not done! I have 2 universities and 1 more college to go... Hopefully I'll have a miracle and get accepted asap without complications.

I was reading a book on Tuesday night right before I went to sleep and found a really interesting statement. Let me quote from it.

Sam: "God, I look like shit without makeup.:
Anna: "I don't think so."
Sam: "That was supposed to be sweet, right?"
Anna: "So you think...[I] (was) sucking up to you or something?"
Sam: "Pretty much everyone else does."
Anna: "Why? ...Because your father is __(famous celebrity)__?"
Sam: (sarcasticly) "Aren't you the rock scientist."
Anna: "There are dozens of famous people...Your father is just one more. So I don't see what the big deal is."
Sam: "...My father isn't just A-list. He's A-plus-plus-plus-practically-in-his-own-stratosphere list."
Anna: "And that's what you think is important?"
Sam: "That's what everyone thinks is important."
Anna: "I'll be sure to mention that to the starving children in Africa."

The A-List
Zoey Dean

Holy. Sam made me furious AND opened my eyes. I know this yet i keep neglecting this fact: We are so selfish. People always wants the best of the best, but do they realize what is going on around the world? Yeah, i know it's crazy hard to stay away from brand names and junk food and luxuries we don't actually need when we know that there are poor, sad, starving children in third world countries that have nothing. Some of them may even be enforced into child labor. Child labor?! wtf.. For 7 cents an hour, these children are slaving away making items for us from Nike or whatever. 7 cents an hour. Seriously. What the shit is that? People, get a conscience!!! Don't you feel guilty? Please don't tell me i'm the only one...because from now on. I am not going to EVER buy anything from Nike. (it is the only corporation i know of, for now, that has children working for their PROFITS) shit son. is money REALLY that important when you're actually lowering these people's esteems?

Some things are just so overrated. But I know this: A little change can make a big difference; it takes only one person to start this change which will eventually spread as quickly as a fire. You know what they say, "two heads are better than one."

I will always learn from my "downs" and try to make myself a better person to make more "ups." Sorry to those that I've hurt and only grattitude for those that have made me laugh. Gracious

HAPPYNYE!

&Hmmm...

I realize I've been wasting alot of time these past weeks. What the shit have I done? Lemme think...eat, sleep, go-out. Wow. Way to start off the upcoming year. I gotta change all this by tomorrow. I will wake up early, do some cleaning, then have dinner with my family, then go out to celebrate New Years. After New Years I must work on my goals.

1. Achieve all A's for second term

2. Maintain a clean, organized room!

3. EXERCISE DAILY (Keep fit)

4. Spend LESS money

5. Help Mom.

If i obtain all those goals, I will thank the Lord graciously. I wouldn't be any happier than to be able to achieve my goals. I feel the urge to make a difference in this world. With education, that process would be somewhat easier. I really hope I will be able to enter a good university.

Anyhoo, I have the names for the babies! I love how Swana and I have already decided our babies' names haha. Here are mine:

Boys Tristan - Jayden - Xavier - Brayden

Girls Brooklyn - Mercedes

Except I plan to have a maximum of 3 babies haha so I'd have to pick out of those 6 but hey, a girl can dream :)

Okay. I gotta go sleep now. I'll update maybe later tonight about NYE because right now i need to sleep and, like i said, wake up early tomorrow so i can make a difference. Soo g'nightss...or rather good morning heheh

What is love? To me, love is a very powerful feeling that, nowadays, isn't as good as it used to be. Currently millions of divorces are filed under the fact that they "don't love each other anymore." Currently thousands of people are having affairs each month. What happened to true love? Did Romeo & Juliet not teach us a lesson?

"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."

--Heather Cortez

Love entwines people together. People may show their love through various ways. Physical ways such as showering their loved one with flowers, giving hugs and kisses, writing a little note saying how much you love them, or even having some fun under those blankets. There are also verbal ways of proving your love: saying "I do," to prove your devotion towards each other or a simple"I love you," and even a flattering "You're beautiful." There are also discreet ways that may present love. Letting someone fulfull their dreams, although you may disapprove, is a way of showing your love. Take for example, from the Notebook, there are two men madly in love with the lead female. The female knows she should marry the rich, loving man but also loves the poor guy, therefore she is utterly confused with who she wants to spend her life with. Rich guy or poor guy? The rich man knows she loves the poor guy so he lets her go because he loves her. Rich guy wants her to be happy.

If you love someone, never give up.
"Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing. So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out."

(him to her)

-- Nicholas Sparks,

author of The Notebook

I do not know what happened that changed this loving world, now filled with many cheats and liars. I'm not saying there are no happy endings --there are! Not many. If you have truly found the one you love, well, good for you! You're prettty lucky! For those that have sore hearts or have felt the pain of losing someone, try not to dwell on the past but to think of what we can do for the future. To ease up tension or to have a peaceful, caring moment, sufficient "I love you" (which may be shown in any way) always works, at least 99% of the time. & Gifts are only a mere presentation of your love. Money should not buy happiness. I wouldn't care if you give me diamond necklaces or sapphire rings...as long as I have that person's love. That is the only thing that matters.

"Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

--Elizabeth Browning

If you love someone, let them know before it's too late! What if the person gets into an accident? What if you get into an accident? What you'll regret the most is never letting that person know you love them. Who knows? What if that person feels the same way for you? Honestly, I feel you have nothing to lose! If they don't like you --they're missing out! "There's plenty of fish in the sea!" Remember. If someone has betrayed your love, never re-enact it. What I mean is, if someone has cheated on you, do not take revenge and do the same to your new mate. As much as it hurts, at least you've learned from it?

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

--Lao Tzu

I really hope that this has opened your eyes. Show someone you care. & If you can one day actually experience true love, you will know. Good luck.

"To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven."

--Karen Sunde

Say What?
