-yawns-

it's not about being hacked anymore... it's more like my account is being shared. lol.

ok... played badminton the last two days. Thts about all, unless u count watching wimbledon one of the highlights of my day...z. ummm... woke up early this morning at around 7 15... it may not b early to some, but it's early for me... especially in the summer. I don't even wake up tht early for school. I usually wake up an hour later... haha (i can just hear the cursing from those who wake up a lot more early). So yah, went biking early in the morning, it was somewht tiring, somewht uncomfortable seeing drivers looking at me prolly going "wht is this kid doing? does he kno it's summer?" I just went around the block... backwards from wht i usually do which means i went uphill on kenedy, turned at huntingwood, turned at birchmount, and yah... so on until i reached my house. Saw a guy going to school at 8 thinking he'd c his report card then... then i told him it was from 10-2 o'clock... haha, "seriously?!?!". wht a funny reaction...
So yah, went to c my marks today. Got an 80 for english (ew... darn u track and field!), 87 for history, 90 for science, and 92 for civics. Yaw... pretty good for a normal guy like me... not too angry about my marks... 'cept for english... but i guess i deserved tht. -sighz-
Then... me and this hacker lady went to lunch during which we discussed how to solve a situation that was real with made up names!... oh wait, she's gonna b reading this... i meant real names! -looks around-. ya, it was a hard problem to solve though, yep yep, i can't b specific, so onto the next chapter of my day.
ok, just quickly running through the rest, i hope there won't b any comments on this. Anywayz, yah, "practised" a sort of a "duet" with ms.hacker, made a lot of eggs... had some experiments, they turned out pretty well... need to decrease the oil level though, haha (quiet drakonen). Drakonen ate 3 of my newly invented (not really, just french toast without the toast with hot sauce) scrambled eggs! haha, hope there won't b any stomach aches. Well i hafn't had one yet, so i guess eggs were fine. Went to ms.hacker's work place, pretty scary... was intimidated in there... good thing i was only in there for a few seconds or i woulda fainted from the hostility... lol!
ah... went to woodie wood chucks to c if they were hiring... then found out couple of my friends were trying to get hired there too.... as a group, so... umm... my feelings towards this may take a long time so i'll skip wht my opinion and feelings are towards this.
hmmm... DONE! ok, bye.

Edited: i just wanted to add tht I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORED! thx!
ps. it's been more than an hour now, not really 11 something... more like 12 54

*smiley showing teeth with braces*

here And THeRE...

Summer break has "officially begun"... has what i've done so far been considered as "productive?", probably not... but i've been places and done stuff, and managed to go quite a way with few if any moments of boredem... i know people who have already on day 1, have msn names such as "name - bored", ( kinda just made this name up but as long as youve got the picture ).

Sunscreen
Unless i'm playing to change my race, I probably should start putting on Sunscreen BEFORE i leave not after i come back... Turning so dark, after 2-3 days? will be a shade of black if this continues...

~40DegreesCelcius
Going outside could be fun... Playing tennis could be fun... BUT NOT WHEN ITS 40+ Degrees Celcius outside... haha monday was it? after being bored of playing games for the morning, we decide to go outside to play tennis at 1:00, right when the sun is at its hottest... played a bit of senior citizen tennis where basicly we only hit the ball if it came within a few steps of us, or had very frequent "breaks"... plus not putting on any sunscreen or deodorant as i was late for the bus, which i then had to walk, was not a good combination combined with these events... came back quick shower and then had to go back outside again to go to the movies where as probably already mentioned the notable quote the cashier gave drakonen came up...

When Public Relations go wrong

Well, this is the second time I'm posting today. Before, I was killing time at Echoes' house before going off to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It was a good movie, a twist on the typical American family....

Okay, so its a big twist, but still a good movie (best for couples, or pairs who should be coupled and end up sitting together, if the other members catch my drift). So I ended up starting off with $20, and ended at $0 as I pitched a dollar in for popcorn, Echoes' ticket, and drinks for Echoes', U.U., and myself. It wasn't exactly the best way to save money.

The sad part in all this was when the five of us decided to buy a large popcorn using the change we had in out wallets. It was a toonie, a loonie, two quarters, and ten dimes. I approached the lady behind the counter of Rainbow Cinemas, told her what I was about to do was cruel, and asked for a large popcorn. She sighed, didn't notice the change and ignored the warning, and got us the popcorn. She came back, put the popcorn on the counter, and said "$5.50". I told her again that what I was about to do was cruel, laughed, and put the change on the counter. She looked confused when I said it again, looked down at the counter and understood what had happened. The change was already grouped together, and realized that there was no way for her to slide the change of the counter, and had to pick them up individually. She looked at me, sighed, leaned closer, and in her European accent with a twitch in her right eye said "I hate you". The funniest part in all of this was that she sounded serious. She smiled slightly, but was still twitching her right eye. I couldn't help but laugh, and cry slightly. I never knew being told you were hated by a stranger who was going against the morals of her job with be so hilarious. It was great, just great. I'll never forget the way she said "I hate you".

After that failure of public relation, I returned to my movie, came back to the same person five minutes later to buy the fore mentioned drinks, and returned to my seat to watch the movie. After the movie, we ended up trying to kill time. This is where Echoes' tried to make a stuffed Stitch dance like it said it would. The best we could find was one that would only sing, but not dance. He went through every doll and started to take some apart when me and U.U had to forcefully remove him. It was a sad event, especially since the employees were starting to get uneasy about what was going on.

Next we eventually made our way to Music World where Echoes stayed to try to listen to all of the Back Street boys CD that was playing aloud. This is also when he realized he wouldn't make it to his Volleyball game. This eventually got us out of the store and to a way out where I to dare Echoes in return for him not owing back money. He still owes me money. This all happened, we head home, U.U somehow sneaks a transfer received a couple hour before past a bus driver, and we all get home safe and with another day to kill tomorrow.

When things don't dance, and you can't listen

so... monday... yep... fun day...? Anywhooo, saturday was very wasted. I spent 5 hours watching wimbledon, 3 hours outside "attempting" to plan for today. Yah... most of the time i guess was spent either putting my head against a pole, or taking the seeds off those... leaves...thingies...
After, i went to church for this performance done by the children choir... which i was on for 6 years but now too old to join. I missed last years performance because i was in hong kong... how i still miss it... I was right on time when i got home coz my family was just leaving... (wait 5 minutes... psht!)
Sunday was i guess a waste of time as well... 'cept for the evening when i got to scare 2 ppl at once. Amusing!
I... need a job ><>
So, today! it was pretty fun i guess... being woken up at 8 after sleeping at 2. Sister's friends came over for her, they went out, came bak again at 9, which was when (alliteration) i was forced to get out of bed coz i just couldn't sleep anymore. Phoned ms.anonymous, she was still sleeping *LUCKY!* so yah, was stuck watching wimbledon again... i think it was on... or was i just eating and watching nothing... i forgot. Anyways, yah, drakonen came over, i tried to take a lil' nap, 2 lovely young ladies came and ruined my nap! *its ok, i forgive u*. Got sprayed by my fabreeze twice... -twitches- and yah, attempted to take a nap after but didn't really work... Then after all tht, we went to fairview to watch mr. and mrs. smith, which was funny! I'll leave drakonen to post up his sad.. but funny memory while buying a certain thing with a certain type of $$. I didn't hear it though... =( wht a let down. However, the movie was great haha, some parts were kinda dragged on or boring, but the overal movie was pretty goood!
After the movie, to keep things brief, stitch wouldn't dance for me after minutes of hard work, and i couldn't stay to hear the whole album of the backstreet boys! (I was only hearing a sample!... like... half the album... but still!) yah... i had to leave coz i felt tht everyone was getting tired of staying there... and the guy in charge would get suspicious. =( -sighz-
All in all, it was a pretty good day. Ms. anonymous needs to finish watching lord of the rings, and mr.unknownuser needs to watch TITANIC! who DIDN'T watch it? like... -goes crazy!- it's in the history text book!!! (the movie, not the actual ship... which might also b... but didn't really notice it).
Yah, now i'm done sewing my name onto my wallet. It reads "G YIP" in gold with black thread outline. yay...! I might b stuck doing this the whole summer... stitching names onto stuff...

.Echo, the sound of joy~..reflect, resound, reverberate.

Needed time....

Its been a while, more than a week. I'm not even where I'm suppose to be, I'm just dragging along. I'm not in the most comfortable of situations, but I'm not eager to leave. But then, it's only because nobody wants me to leave. I don't know whether I should be here, since I'm only taking up space and time at the moment. I'm in a state of now, I'm to aware of my surroundings, including the cards streaking past my head. Its pink, and represents the common attitude in the room.... Boredom...


This entire week, and the one before has been filled with that attitude. This post is probably the most thinking I've done since the end of school on the Friday before last. Its even more thinking than the exams I had last week, which I can't decide whether or not I'm happy with the level of effort I put in.

The entire week was just and excuse to kill time, from going to the mall and being asked by some random Chinese guy for a cigarette on the bus (I mean, common, how old do me and Echoes look) to me getting stuck with buying a suit for a wedding yesterday. I'm not saying the wedding was bad, it actually turned out well since I spent the entire day with close family, but the tensions were a bit unusual since the weddings that will follow aren't making the siblings involved happy. Its all a question of the time, the breaking up and moving on of lives, and the old ritual of arranged marriage which they're trying to fight but can't since they can't find a substitute. Its really awkward the position is set upon since the younger members of the family including me don't ever want to see ourselves in the position of the older members. Not exactly a good way to leave a special day.

That was the mind set around twenty hours ago, a mind set that's changed now that I'm stuck here not exactly doing anything to help with the attitude that going on the in the room, as we all sit waiting for U.U. We're going to leave to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith at Fairview, a plan which I was said to be a part of about two hours ago.

My summer hasn't started the way I wanted to, since I never got what I wanted done started. I think I posted a list of things I wanted to do, but I don't know when I made it so I don't know where that list is. I'm pretty sure that nothings been started, let alone finished.

So that pretty much ends what's going through my head right now, most of which I'm spilling into this. I can't spill everything since its something between me and only one other member of this Blog, so I'll wait till I can think up another way to think out the situation. So now I'm stuck here in a place that I don't necessarily belong, staring at the stars in front of me trying to decide whether they're really worth reaching. Then again, they're just glow in the dark plastic pieces that need to be rearranged on the ceiling above me, a project for a later date.

"Is it worth waiting for better to come along, or should I just make the best of what I have now...."

went karaoke with some friends for fellowship today (aliteration!). Sang right here waiting by richard marx and helped sing other songs for other ppl like break away by kelly clarkson and... i'm with you by avril lavigne, lol. It was fun and funny when there were songs tht we couldn't sing coz of how high u had sing so we just played around with the notes and made funny faces while doing it. i also contracted the hiccup disease while drinking a lot coz we had to go and i didn't wanna waste my drink. i was hiccuping for like 30 minutes, it was horrible! in other news, after the karaoke, we went to a park again and played frisbee and flew kites. also rode this 3 wheel scooter thing, haha, fun! 'cept during tht scooter riding time, i was hiccuping >< ! They even sprayed me with this vanilla smelling perfume, now i smell like a girl... err. so yah, it was fun! my first time singing karaoke, nice experience coz of how funny they all made it (they sang britney spears songs as a joke! it was so funny... "hit me baby one more time!" hahaha!) oh, also went to my sister's commencement. k done.

Edited: Arg, think my lungs are like bruised or something from taking 30+ big deep breaths and holding them in for 10ish seconds before hiccuping. my chest hurts and i can't breath right

Close call.....

As im posting. I'm at home waiting for my new graphic card so i can start playing guild war.. lets not discuss about this please..

skipping from skool just back from tennis.. tired, bored,talkin to random ppl.. y the hell you think im doin this for?

anyways, u guys are thinking what does al this has to do with my title.. close call.... Well the truth is today i almost lost my mp3 player.. here is how the story goes:

I went on the bus to school as i usually do.. as i got off the bus, i was in a rush and my bag was in front of me, when i got off the bus my music stopped. At first i thought it was my earphones because i always break my earphones.. as i put my hand in my pocket after trying to fix my earphones.. it occur to me that my mp3 player was not there.. The good/bad news is the bus was sstill there, so i ran back on it search around.. alot of ppl were helping me (nice ppl). I still couldn't find it.. by that time the bus was at the next stop. So i got off the bus,and ran back to where i was (previous stop) I saw my mp3 player lying on the ground.... alone.. i was relieved.
The story isnt over yet..i quickly put it in my pocket, but as i pull out my earphones, i had snapped one of them in half.. anyways even though i broke my earphones im happy i didnt lose my mp3 player


pictures will be available later =]

ah... i can't think of anymore titles. they take too long to make, so did my quotes so u woulda noticed that they're not quotes anymore.... more like a signature sign off. hahaha... ? no one's laughing ><
these past days haf been kinda boring... was hoping some guy with some game system would come over but that some guy did not therefore i'm somewht bored. so... with that in mind, i've been sleeping kinda a lot... not really sleeping, more like napping. And yet i'm still tired! I CAN'T GET THOSE BAGS UNDER MY EYES TO GO AWAY! yes... i don't wear my sunglasses for show u kno? i wear them coz i need those bags to b put away! EMPTY THE LUGGAGE! (is tht the rite spelling? lemme check...) now tht we're talking about luggage and bags... it only leads to travelling! I believe it's been one year since i went to hong kong! how i miss tht place n those ppl... meaning ALL my relatives... -twitches-. yes... all my relatives r in hong kong... or taiwan... but newayz, thts not the point. the point is it's been one year and I WANNA GO AGAIN! 'cept i'm too lazy and too scared to go by myself coz there's a 98% chance i'll get lost and/or don't kno wht to do.
hmm... some things haf to b left for drakonen to post up so i can't really post everything i haf to. I keep wanting to clean up my room... but my body won't let me! Whenever i get up, my body gets pulled to my bed and i start napping! not good... it's the force... dum dum dum!
bye bye ppl!

dim sum on a school day...

so schools "basicly" over although technically not out (if youre willing to sit through dull movies in a class that has you and one other person in it) ... so basicly went over to someones house for the morning bit, then planned on going to the movies to watch "the longest yard" , but everyone either was broke or wanted to see something else... so then we decided to go somewhere to eat...

beginning from warden and hunting wood, we walked towards bridlewood mall, but they didn't want to eat there so we kept walking along finch til we reached kennedy... being an hour+ walk, thus the result of poor planning and lack of anyone deciding on where to go... so we end up going to some *not small, but big, very big dim sum place on kennedy and finch... this is with 5 other guys who are my age... so we go in, and they seat us right by the kitchen and visable by the door, in other words the reject tables... we must have decreased the average age of all the people in the restaurant by a lot, as everyone there was "older", much "older" than us... everyone seemed to be staring at us, especially the waiters... when only one of us could speak cantonese, we were limited to them having to show us every dish and then deciding... and one time they even shoved us chicken wings and before we had decided they had already wrote down that we ordered, and then after the bill came, somehow five extra dollars was added on for who knows what, you cant really even read what it says, times this add that and so on... still chinese food was cheap and we ended up paying only $4 each...

summerx!

okay! i was done all my exams yesterday and now i'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEE! yep yep, just have to go back to school once to get my report card... don't want to c.... =S so yep! i'm on my summer vacation now... i say i'm looking for a job, but i haven't actually gotten up to actually "look" yet. haha. don't think there'll b much summer jobs open... prolly filled up by now. oh wellz! but i'm short for cash... but we all kno money isn't everything! (... coughs...)
I'm finally done watching the Get Backers! whoooooooooo! i dunno if i said that last time... well last time was a fake (if i did say i finished it). some episodes were pretty funny, haha. parents were wondering why i was laughing...
Now i sit here... wondering if kenneth is really coming over or if he lied... coz i didn't get to play much ps2 yesterday due to me having to go get my retainers. At least i got to play prince of tennis! and burn out...? not much though... the point is i got my bottom retainer so yay, no crack.
da da dum, i'm done! until next time!

.Echo, the sound of peace~..reflect, resound, reverberate.

hiiiiiii

hoi hoi! all better now! yep.... where i'd b without anime... -sighz-. So yah! made a decision for those who kno wht happend to me... which is basically like... 1... or two ppl. haha. well... nvm! anyways yah, went to a kool and funny friend's birthday party today! yep, it was great. mhmm... food was filling, still hafn't paid though... mmm... -whistles- until i get 3 dollars...
yaaaah! so so! thts all i haf for today. i still hafn't studied for science exam tomorrow yet. darn Get Backers... so distracting... the important thing is my mood has risen! yaaaaaaaah! koool. well other than that, i just remembered that jacky, kenneth and I got ditched at fairview. We went there early to c if jimmy was there, but then he wasn't... and then we waited an hour and then some for the others to come. But they didn't... we were left alone for more than an hour. and remember, my mood wasn't risen until.... 2 hours ago? this was... 6 hours ago? so u can see that with my bad mood, plus getting ditched... can REALLY... REAAAAALLY anger someone like me. but just coz my spirit's risen, doesn't mean i forgive them for ditching us! perhaps they didn't kno we were going there... perhaps they did go... whtever the reason is... we got ditched! may my wrath be upon those who did not come! watching a movie... psh. -mutters- anger.... -shakes fist-

.Echo, the sound of joy~..reflect, resound, reverberate.

Thas returned (Cont)...

I know its a week later, not much inspiration left, but the "show must go on'... will just post the main points...
*this post has been typed up three times already? stupid blogger started out very long, then long, then just short

- O.D (on duty), once a night per week each councillor has to supervise two cabins at night so the other councillors can go off doing their free time... so on the night i was on duty there was a cabin war going on between the two cabins i was watching, one was the skaters the other was "the other?" they don't really stand out... basically through a window which seperated them, everyone from flashlights to someone's bare bottom could be seen... ended with me using my powers to confiscate items of value...
- Winning at bingo, the only actual fun activity where everyone participated in. Due to unlimated cards, everyone was playing with at least 3-4 cards. in the game i won i was playing with 5 cards and 2 games per card so thats 10 games... it was one of the hardest things you can do... and Its BINGO how can it be hard? Well coincidentally two other people won at the exact same time as me and to give out the one prize of a camp t-shirt and some things from the store we had to do our best dolphin imitation down the middle of the room... who knows what i was doing, as i couldn't remember flipper... somehow i won though, which surprised even me...
- Everyone was into gymp?
- And no there weren't alot of *hot* girls there, and not in the *mood* to try for the few that was there...

Very pointless post and highly out of date post indeed...

hiiii hi. k... i guess the posting of my days will start...whenever...
umm... some random days ppl came over to watch movies i guess... played some life, took some random pictures, had some laughs, the end of that... fun, but i'm not in a fun mood as of this moment. not in a bad mood either, border line?
so 'eeey, letz start from today and work backwards to where i left off then. yah... today, went to church, had to play some badminton to work off the stress and anger. Can't really call it anger... mmm, whtever. was planning to make something today with ppl, guess my instincts were to cancel that coz of my mood. ^^
To start on saturday, i haf to start on friday. So friday, i had english exam, had to write good copy of rough copy of essay of Lord of the Flies. easy, but loong. After vicqee came over and hacked into this blog and did random stuff on it -shakes fist- don't really wanna delete it, i did edit it though. doesn't do much harm, so i'll leave it there. After, tried to sleep but ended up watching the Get Backers. I'm finished watching it now, it's a kool anime. Akabane Kurodo! ^^ After, i tried my hand at going to Birchmount stadium alone hoping i don't get lost. I got there, but ended up waiting half an hour coz i got lost and was too lazy/nervous/scared to ask. When i did, most of them were no help. Free food, free shirt... it was pretty fun. I was handing out veggieburgers to ppl... i wanted to try one myself, didn't. volunteered for 2 hours and some straight... yay? After that, spent all night trying to stay up, darn lights ruined my view of the stars. Staying up all night was fun... it was wet and cold, but it was fun nonetheless. pretty good experience, would like to do it again some time. Attempted to see the sunrise, couldn't coz of the cumulus clouds... might of been cumulostratus, can't really remember. Or perhaps it was cirrus, but thts not the point. Saturday was kool too, played badminton, bought some yogurt, went to tht park again... i dunno if i wrote about it in some last post. find it?
n yah, pretty much done. Bought stuff, drank stuff, ate stuff... details details. moody moody...
Letz talk about how i got to this mood. -earlier today- hahaha... inside joke? no? ok... quiet drako. anyways, posting was so much fun in the beginning. Now that there r ppl i kno reading them... not so fun nemore. haf to becareful of wht i type here. Might haunt me. letz talk about one of the few powerful emotions tht we humans haf... jealousy. ^^ not a fun emotion to have is it? yes i'm jealous of things, envy ppl... i dislike it, but it happens. won't say who or whtever, just tht... ppl just make it so hard for some to live happily. I shouldn't b jealous... i dunt even kno why i am. -sighz- whtever. yay.... i haf no exams tomorrow, yet i haf to wake up early or some girl with my keys will scare the heck out of me when i wake up. again, quiet drakonen!... and unknown... and well... m&m's doesn't really post much so he won't do much to me.
So i leave u with this:

The no school school day

Today was the barbecue. It was crazy the amount of work that had to be done. First we had to get the speakers set up in a class and figure out how to wire it all up and get it working properly. That took until around 12:00. Then in the next 45 minutes involved setting the equipment of four 18 inch speakers, a CD mixer, and a master mixer up together. It doesn't sound like much, until you realize that they gave us power cords for the speakers that weren't even long enough to touch the ground. It wasn't exactly comforting when we had to race around the school, searching for extention cords.

Once we found them, we got everything hooked up and started to play music. I didn't know how to mix CD's, so I let my two associates do that, but they didn't know much more than me and things didn't go smoothly until an hour after we began. My job was to take care of the equipment so that my associates didn't blow anything up. I was also doing quality control, so the people listening weren't hearing garbage.

To top the day of, the weather man ended up being right. We had on and off showers, so a good amount of time was spent wrapping everything up in large plastic and garbage bags to make sure nothing fried or caught fire. Then we had to wait out the rain and watch the sky as the dark gray clouds were replaced by white ones. This happened about four times and in a three hour event, around and hour went on without music.

The SAC (student activity counsel) managed to get a lot of activities going on at the barbecue. There was the obvious barbecue of burgers, a very large inflated obstacle course, a sumo wresting thing with the large suits, and some other stuff. Why don't I know all of it? Simple, because me and my non SAC associates stayed back to watch the equipment during down time while the third SAC associate had fun. I don't blame him, I was just dumb enough not to go off and try stuff out. I didn't even have to technically be there, everything I did was voluntary. So in the end, it was a day well wasted, just to get out of class. A good way to finish the year off.

We also got our yearbook today, but apparently I still have a text book to return, so I don't get one. Now tomorrow is going to be spent trying to find what book I need to return, and how much its going to set me back.

x am!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! i feel like i'm gonna EXPLODE! my mind is soooo stressed out.... the maximum amount of information it's able to take in for one day is full up and leaking as u read and me type! alll the dates for history... DARN U PROCRASTINATION! Instead of reading each fact sheet that i got each day like a responsible student... read all of them in 3ish hours plus other hand outs we were suppose to read. I'm done reading now... but i haf to start all over again to make sure i got all the important facts. AH! i just remembered my stress reliever (swinging my bat like a tennis racquet... so that's why my forearm... nvm) so yah.
To keep things short so i can remove stress and study again, my day went pretty well. It was hot and humid, not much sun. Had 2 parties, one for LAA (leacock athletic association) where i had... wht... subs? (y am i asking u...) umm... chips, cookies, cake, and orange pop. Then had another party RITE after (like 2 minutes coz it took me that amount of time to get to class) where i had popcorn, frutopia.... n...whtever... yah. Sure it's relaxing... and fun... but LOOK AT ME NOW! stress relieving.. must... relieve stress... GOOD BYE PPL!

.reflect, resound, reverberate.

Please don't rain tomorrow....

Today was a nice change. I got out of fourth period to head downtown with my history teacher and two friends to get equipment for the school bbq we're having tomorrow. It was really a nice change, since our history teacher looks kind of like Kernel Sanders of the KFC as my friend pointed out today. We got their.... talked about girls on the way and so on and so fourth. (Whats with the girls lately? It's like our hormones are being overdosed.) It was a weird ride since our teacher is an old, white, overweight history teacher who has gangster rap in his car, and was listening to it. Its more gangster than the rap that we listen to now. This stuff was like stuff Tupac made but couldn't release to the public. It was so awkward. We also realized how to tell if someone is short based on how close their driver's chair is to the steering wheel.

Once we got to the store Steve's (something here by I forget, so it'll be Steve's for now), we realize that we had to head somewhere else for rentals since the main store is for purchases only. After walking around the block and past the store, we realized that the street numbers were decreasing so we had to double back, and we found the store, which had a little sign above the store saying Steve's. Inside, the place looked kind of like a dump, as many places in downtown do. We managed to trade in a CD player for a CD dj set at the last second for no additional cost. So we loaded the equipment onto our history teacher's car, and the three of us headed of for a TTC station.

We walked for thirty minutes to Osgoode station. We passed by Much Music/Chum City/City TV area on the way there. I saw the lady with the fro from Much Music with a camera crew as well as workers setting up stages for the up coming MMVAs.

It was a good afternoon except for the fact that once I got home, I found out that the surrounding area (thank god not us) is in a Tornado alert and that tomorrow it's suppose to rain. This is bad as there will be music equipment, varies carnival activities, and a barbecue outside. The weather doesn't seem to want to help out at the moment.

Thas returned...

Was away for a week, as seen in the repetive green posts by s.s. Away at a music camp as a staff assistant for campers gr 3-8...

note that this post is two days late... here goes...

well i came back from camp saturday afternoonish, horribly covered by mosquitoe bites 50+, rashes on arms and neck, recieiving a small cut on my forehead from basketball (dont know how its possible either),and being dead tired from weeksworth of 1am+ - 7am ( i'm someone who needs my sleep).

Ok back to the beginning,
so friday night leave for the camp, drive around the yorkdale parking lot looking for a bus, i see a yellow school bus but then drive past thinking that cant be it, keep driving and driving and eventually i realize that it is what i was supposed to ride... a school bus!~?! dang they are cheap...
so from there find a couple of people... couple meaning one or two people from my grade and some other people from higher grades... the two people from my grade arent much as i well at that time hadn't talked alot to them. When the camp said it started accepting assistants from gr 10 and up it truly meant it as the gr 10s probably made up less than 10% of the entire group.
The bus ride there was somewat interesting, with all the different schools grouping up and *sitting all together... everyone either playing cards, needing to go *pee but couldn't due to this yellow bus, and the two hourish ride there didn't help... All better though once we got there, everyone scrambleing to the washroom...
Then we were given the opportunity to unpack dragging our army of luggage back to our cabin... me with my bass clarinet in one hand, dufflebag/stroller luggage + sleeping bag in the other, backpack on my back... walk about ten minutes to the guys cabin which is that far from the main area with the dining room, theatre, anything important... while the girls have it just across one width of the field from it... our cabin thankfully is fairly new, no mirror though and you have to pull on the bathroom door before you can lock it umm... not much dust anywhere, there are three other councillors in the cabin which will hold 12 campers...
Later come back only to have a pa meeting which is as it always is... *Dull... not much else, go to bed hungry as they didn't serve dinner that day, only eating whatever was leftover in the fridge ( privlege thats only cool when theres actually food that we want to eat in there )... and then as always not much sleep on the first night... (listening to another staff assistants clock tick throughout the night... random water dripping, which was *supposed to go away after five minutes but lasted who knows how many hours...)

*saturday was a day of being tired from the previous day and campers... their first night... now that was a horror movie! met our campers for the first time grade 6s... from the first glance i could see who would be the quiet kids, the rebel kids, and the kids on meds... first day for dinner in which we introduce our *rules to the campers... completely made up of course... such as : Councillors eat first, if you finish the food you go get more, say please and thank you when someone passes you something... etc... so onto nightime...
the kid who was on meds was running around naked, not a pleasent sight, big belly hanging over, hitting people with towels, yelling that someone tried to strangle him...

Beginning of the end...

Well, today's the start for the last full week of school. I had my in-class exam for history today, found it much easier than I thought it would be, since I only prepared for it by memorizing the notes I needed to expand on. I think it went well, but I'll have to wait and find out.

not much going on today, except today was one of the most humid day I've ever experienced. The fact that our school doesn't have A.C. in all the rooms didn't help at all. So the highlights of today was playing four player slime volleyball in teams of two, watching 10 Things I hate About You in English since the movie is based on the Shakespearean play, "The Taming of the Shrew", and standing outside and getting soaked in the thunderstorm outside. All in all, a good day.

Finally...

Someone finally posted! sheeeesh, tht took long enough. So on to my post!

Yah... i got tired of my name, and seeing how drakonen is only one word, i figured i didn't want him to be left out of the two word.... named... members who have the same first letter in both words. Yah... I went through 2 names...holy.cross, and sacrosanct.saint. Now i'm just plain echoes. =D ahem...

Friday was fun! Though it was hot, it was still fun since it was the last day of the week for school. The best part of Friday for me was being able to ride in a car with my friend driving. Yep! I knew him since i was a baby, and i've waited 15-16 years for this day and it happend! Now i just gotta get a ride from my other friends lol. I told him to blast classical music, but he wouldn't listen =( it woulda been great if a car blasting hip hop music were beside us. Classical versus hip hop! hahaha! (i woulda sank down and started laughing). I don't think his stereo worked though, so that might b a reason. But it was kool, got to experience my longest known friend driving. =P So...k, anyways, went to a park with my fellowship, played frisbee, threw a lil' football (little is not describing the size of the football), did a little worship, flew kites, and ate at a resturant. I found out that one of our counselors went to the same elementary and middle school as i did! oooo... so weird! (he knows mr.nicholson! o.O!)

Saturday was fun too, eventhough it was crazy hot and i didn't wear suntan lotion on my face but i didn't get sun burned! Went grocery shopping with a funny, nerd-hating person (haha) for her birthday "gathering". I first lost some weight, then gained some, then lost them again, but it's ok, i don't mind being fat (but i'm not...). Then we went to the place of her gathering to check the place out... for 3-4 hours! (longest time i ever spent with a girl! >< ! not that i... so complicated...) it was fun.... LALALALA! ONTO SUNDAY!

Yesterday was great. was suppose to do hmwk in the afternoon, but ended up at drak's house coz he was bored. (refer to blog with blue font). And then there was this case with a certain spider... but i'll let him post that when he does. These sort of things had to be seen and not told... inside joke? Isn't that funny when ur telling it... basically he was treating the spider like a human while the spider was dangling from it's web trying to escape. Again, more funny if u were there and could see the actions tone of voice. So that day, i ended up with a wet shirt coz it was totally hot that day too and i was out there playing badminton for close to 3 hours. I feel bad for not being home when someone was bored and called me. SORRY! ok, onto today.

It finally rained today! but when it rained, i was in the library! which meant i was trapped there until the rain stopped! I was with a few friends attempting to do a science cheat sheet for the exams. I ended up with nothing on the paper, and one person from out group ended up with... a few words. Time was mostly spent debating on philosophy and how everything works. It was science vs. religion, I wasn't involved in this debate since I wasn't in a mood of a debate, instead i went looking for kool books! (we WERE in a library u kno?) Now i gotta go bak to the library to check out books coz i found interesting ones! lol! note to self: keep library card in wallet that i actually carry). So yah, now i'm here, preparing to do my science cheat sheet... ><

.reflect, resound, reverberate.

Its been a while

I haven't posted in a week. Why? Mainly because I've been using the time to practise for a taekwondo test I had on Friday. I put in a lot of work, since I wanted to skip a belt, which meant I had to master the requirements of my current belt and the next belt. Even after all the work I put it, I'm not sure if I did it well enough to warrant a double promotion. I guess I'll find out about that on the coming Friday.

Well, yesterday my parents finally bought something they wanted since we moved into our current home 7 years ago, a patio set. They ended up going one step further by buys the chairs, tables, and instead of the usual umbrealla, they got a large enclosed tent-thing with netting for four walls to keep insects out. The only reason they did it yesterday was because of a maternal family party my mom pulled with all her siblings together (minus one whos pregnant in montreal). It went great, but we didn't exactly know how to pass the time since it was basically everyone waiting for my uncle and dad to finish on the barbeque.

That was yesterday, and today I woke up very exhausted and tired. I didn't have anything planned and I couldn't take the heat of the house, so instead of the usual of trying to convince S.S that we should spend this day not being bored, I told him to come over and we could think of something to do as we sat in the fresh air under the roof of my tent. (I'm calling it a tent since its made from cloth and its portable enought to put together at a moment's notice. After sitting outside and playing cards for an hour, badminton somehow came up and we decided to play. I decided this was the perfect chance to open up something that hasn't been used in years. A badminton set.

It was great, since we got it up in half an hour (damn S.S, broke a peg) and decided to play. To explain how the game went for the next 4 hours, you have to understand that S.S last played badminton a couple months ago, while I bordered two years. We just played hard enough for me to get better to a point when it wasn't S.S getting bored of me. We finally spent a weekend not sitting around doing nothing except homework. We only called it quits when the only birdie we had got stuck in a tree (shakes fist at S.S... always in the trees).

I just realized I shuffled the cards me and S.S putt in order

So now that I'm home and realizing I have a History Essay to prepare for as part of my in class exam, as well as two projects for English, I find that today was well spent, since I wouldn't have started the homework till nine either way. I talked with my dad who said he could make a better badminton set out of metal, so now I have that to look forward to as I'm down to my last two weeks of school.

only me

I'm sorry ppl, since uu will b away for some time, i guess it'll only b me blogging. But it's not my fault the rest of the members are lazy and have a life (or don't...). Anywhoo, yah... I got through most of my stress related work including a civics test, and history presentation. Now all i need to do is... mostly civics stuff (darn u civics! why must u have so much hmwk!), science, and i got to write a review on the lord of the flies movie and also write an essay on the lord of the flies novel (which is my "final exam" mark. Not the review, the review's worth like 5%). So yah, got lotz to work on until school's over.
In other news, i got two certificates for this athletic..assembly... thingy at my school... yay? Also got another medal (from metros/regionals) for polevaulting... didn't kno we got medals. So now i got a third place ribbon for nothing since the medal is supposedly a replacement for it. I dunno... who wants a ribbon when they get a medal? So yah... yay, got three medals now. Not that much compared to others... but it's my first year actually getting medals, so i'm proud and happy.
For some ppl who want to see my polevaulting pictures from ofsaa, u can. I don't recommend u look at it though... bit embarassing. SO! i'll just give u the page numbers and u try to find the site! ok? alrite! pages 13, 23(worst jump out of all the contestents), 29 (only good jump picture), and 31. Go start searching for the site! if u don't wanna see it, then don't search, very simple.
I was watching the national spelling bee thing on tv! aw man... i dunno why i watched it, but i got so into it once i started watching it! It takes so much skill! They're so smart! What smart kids... I don't even kno how the language of origin or the definition would help me spell a word. I kno how it helps, i just don't kno how to make it help... does that make sense? no... ok, whtever, hmwk time

"Celebrate for one day, work hard the next 364"

break from hmwk

hi, here again just to elaborate on the trip i had. =D i dunno why, but i'm trying to keep my mind off of hmwk for a lil' while. Taking a break from science rite now, got a quiz tomorrow for science too. Then I gotta do some civics, and then spend the rest of my night doing a whole lotta history coz it's my groups turn to present our chapter tomorrow.
Ok, so, windsor, this should take only one paragraph since i already did a whole post on it. We played chess, beat calvin (actually, he kinda beat himself since he did my last 3-4 moves for me coz he saw something... I personally wouldn't of saw it but oh well). Some fire alarm went off in the elevator or something and the whole hotel had to evacuate for like an hour or so. Don't think there really was a fire, prolly someone smoking. Put a lot of hot sauce in our tacos the night we ate taco bell. A senior from our school taught us how to get girls (so funny, no discussion on this plz), and played big two for the second part of our trip bak to toronto.
ooooook, i'm off to do hmwk again I guess. So, tomorrow, i got a science quiz, english review on film "lord of the flies" (WHICH I DIDN'T WATCH COZ I WAS IN OFSAA! now i gotta go to school early some dayz and watch it. I wonder if i can watch it during lunch... no... too many chess players, but it's a possibility), History presentation, and then a civics test! FULL DAY! sooo dead.

-Again, i had a quote but i forgot it last minute. So i'll leave it as it is-

back from windsor

hey! i'm bak from ofsaa which was really fun! not really in a mood to type rite now but this is the only time i'll prolly get to do this since I have to do SOO much hmwk tomorrow. three dayz of hmwk into one plus projects and assignments. Darn! i just remembered about my civics assignment...thing... NOOOOOOOOOOOO! ok ok, letz start near the beginning...

February 23, the day of my birth... -fast forward- April 2nd, 1998... -continues fast forwarding- Thursday, June 2nd, 2005 6 15a.m. So, i wake up at that time, eat breakfast, and finish packing my stuff to go to windsor. the coach left the school at 7 ish and went to pick up ppl from other schools which took about... 1 and a half HOUR! Then after that, we started off to windsor watching lion king and mean girls on the way there. I slept a lil' during lion king since i already watched it, and watched all of mean girls since i haven't watched it (i did not pick the movie, ppl just randomly put it on). took about a total of 5-6 hours until we got to the hotel (the 15 minute washroom break in between doesn't really affect the outcome of the time as much) and yah, checked into our rooms. Three leacock athletes and one other person from another school (cedarbrae, think that's how u spell their school name) was the result of the atheletes living in our room. So, first day, the main points after that were playing chess, eating lunch, doing homework *finally finished reading lord of the flies, hahaha!* (did a lil' civics hmwk, not that much though), watching t.v., eating dinner, walking around outside near the hotel area, brought new sunglasses (due to my other ones breaking, new ones look just like the one i just had b4, noticed after i bought it), walked bak to the hotel by 9-9 30ish i guess.
Second day! Friday, was "awake" at 6 28 (remember coz i told calvin wht time it was when he got up and collapsed bak down to bed when realized wht time it was), woke up, ate breakfast, did random stuff, ate lunch, watched t.v., and finally went to our polevaulting event. Made a new PB of 2 60 (60 more cm from last meet, if u think jumping 60 cm more than u usually jump is easy, letz c u try it) but came second last anyways. Went bak to the hotel after sitting around watching other ppl do their events, our coach treated us to dinner (which was VERY very filling! i had to sit on the floor with my head to the bed for an hour after i got bak to the hotel coz i just couldn't move until some food was digested). Changed, and slept. The end.
Third day, woke up at 7ish, but was awake at 6 something again... maybe it'z coz i'm not on msn anymore. wait... this was today! (according to my time... 2minutes b4 the next day which is actually now but not now according to this post... shh!) Packed everything, ate breakfast, went to track to watch seniors polevault at around 10ish. Took lotz of pictures due to the lack of pictures the day b4 since i forgot to bring the camera to our event. Bought an ofsaa t-shirt for 25 dollars (nike... always expensive). It was SOOO HOT today! I wore a sleevless shirt with lil' holes in them for air and i was still sweating a lot. However, there were many girls wearing short shorts and sport bras! ok, i won't get into that since there may b young readers here but all u need to kno is that life was good then. Got free pizza from pizza pizza since they were late in delivering it to us! never thought they'd actually b late, but it goes to show that they can b late in 40 minutes! All u need to do is make sure ur at a huge place or just a place where it's hard to find, give them a slightly vague idea of where to find u, and it'll take them 2 and a half hour to find u. hahaha. Drank about 3 bottles of water today, woulda drank more but WATER IS MONEY (when water is in a water holding container with a lid being sold). Ok, this is taking too long, so yah, went on bus, watched shrek and the terminal on the way bak home, bought an ice cap during break, took about a total of 5 hours to get home.
Thursday: Lunch- Tim Hortons; Dinner- Taco Bell (five taco thing! somewht satisfying)
Friday: Breakfast-Tim Hortons; Lunch- Subway (eat fresh); Dinner-Swiss Chalet
Saturday: Breakfast- Time Hortons; Lunch- hot dog/pizza pizza; Dinner- Home!
Theres actually more to say about this week, but readers are tired so i say nothing more. good night.

-Time flies when you're having fun-

Blastoff? Surprise? Happy Birthday??

- leaving for camp tommorow night...
- for the idiots of the world, wont be posting for at least a week...
- hopefully this gets me back on my feet...

- later ...

Taken to the extreme

I was up till four this morning working on my Computer Science project. It was due today also. Me and my partner (who knows the person who goes to S.S's school with S.S's sister's name) went to the extreme by putting a months worth of work in an all nighter. On top of that, we didn't even get to finish it since we both ended up staying after school till six. I didn't think that I would ever procrastinate enough to kill myself like that. I'm never doing that again.... For the rest of this school year at least.

Well, there's not a lot of days left for school, less than a two weeks worth. U.U on the other hand will probably out of school and camping in some wilderness by next week. Being the weal.... Best of out of all of, I'm sure this is nothing big for him. I just hope he runs into a hungry bear.

On a side note, my sister has brought forth "The Sims 2", which is sitting right in front of me. I'm going to install it, play it for a while, then sleep. So I'm out...

2 more days...

So in two days i'm leaving for a week+ on some music camp... getting paid $100 and 40 volunteer hours, to i guess help gr 7s and 8s play an instrument? and i'm not that good myself...

then i started thinking how much are they actually paying me...

Assuming i sleep for 8 hours a day, then *technically i'm working for the other 14 hours of the day... and times this by 7 days of the camp and it equals 98 hours... thats like $1.02 per hour!~!...
* i think* i'm kind of getting ripped off here... i mean the minimum wage here is what 6ish 7ish dollars? i think someone is pocketing $5 per hour of my pay check...

oh well at least its a week of school... one of the most important weeks of school... where i have the most culminatings, tests etc... meaning more school work on other times for me... meaning not good...

dont think i have the better part of this whole benefit thing...
