Urbanears got back to me and said they’d replace my earphones, YES. Hopefully these ones don’t last two months because I really do like the quality. Then I went to work with @astronautes which is always lovely because we get along so well~
November 3, 2011
I had a driving lesson today then I fell asleep in English and apparently it was dead silent when I made an odd noise. Classy. But it was a pretty good nap, on the bright side. Later, I had one of the last task shifts I’d have this year. Or last. I’ll kind of miss them.
November 4, 2011
Emily brought her YuGiOh cards in and brought on a massive wave of nostalgia for everyone. We dueled during spare, letting me use her spare cards and oh gosh, where this would lead.
November 5, 2011
Went downtown with @jaquiqui today to go to Lomography, stopping at Starbucks first of course, to get her camera fixed and to develop some of my film. Then we went to Ryerson so she can check it out and I’m actually so excited for university, even more so by the prospect of possibly going to the same school, maybe even same program as Jacquie. :’) We got some baklava going back home and it was just an overall lovely day.
November 6, 2011
So I went to work and stumbled upon this brand of products called “Good Design” and I’m slightly upset because if I ever design a brand of something, I would’ve wanted to call it “Good Design”. xD Plus it was daylight savings, so we got an extra hour of sleep, kind of.
November 7, 2011
Finished my religion assignment on child abuse today, been procrastinating for awhile. -_- But it’s out of the way, phew.
November 8, 2011
I love band. I’m gonna miss it. Playing Pirates brings me so much happiness.
November 9, 2011
I finished designing the brochure for the music program finally and I thought it was civvies day. It wasn’t. So I came to school wearing jeans and a cardigan and I freaked when I saw everyone in uniform so I texted everyone for an extra uniform and thank God Emily had an extra sweater so I got by in first period wearing jeans because he doesn’t really notice then I rushed home during spare to get the rest of my proper uniform. I got back in time for third so everything was okay and during fourth, we were preparing all the materials for the feeder school concerts and basically, we ate candy all fourth period. I love music. And my replacement Urbanears came! Like I said, I love music, I missed it. Then, at work, it was my first time training a new cashier. :’) Which is kind of exciting, for me.
November 10, 2011
First feeder school concert today at St. Hilary’s! It actually went really well, the kids were actually pretty enthusiastic. And we didn’t do a bad job either. And I didn’t have work so I was able to take a nap that night and be kind of productive after. Also, I heard the Bill Nye dubstep for the first time. HOLY CRAP.
November 11, 2011
Got our religion presentation over with. Also, I have the best spare ever. I brought Alaska to school and we bought a bunch of food and drinks and we watched Fight Club and it was lovely. Also, I changed my earrings for the first time since they’ve been pierced. And on top of that, I showed my ears for the first time in … awhile.
November 12, 2011
Jasmin, Dara and I spent a good chunk of the day just huddling in my room watching Misfits. Lola almost walked in on us watching the second episode. Oh dear.
November 13, 2011
Very chill day at home, just watched Friends in bed and went to mass with the siblings + Jasmin. Actually, Mitch ditched us and went in his own car so minus him too. So after mass, we got Popeyes to spite him. The Andino family: punishment is starving.
November 14, 2011
Discussing Christmas presents with Asmita had me excited. Also, work is getting better, starting to master the art of closing cash. And I just overall missed cash.
November 15, 2011
We got our midterms during first period and I have all 90s, thank God raebjgbejrah. Now I just need to keep it up. And we discovered how great Viddy really is in spare today. We filmed “Alyssa Casually Drinking Soy Milk” and “Karl Walking Away” as well as “Mr. Moustache”. And I kept wearing the moustache from Mr. Moustache while I talked in front of 90 grade eights about the clarinet.
November 16, 2011
Jasmin paid me $50 to design the layout for her 35-page assignment so I went to Starbucks during spare to work purely on that with caffeine and then my brother signed me out of fourth and we all sat in McDonalds working. Plus, I finished The Great Gatsby and despite what many people think, I really liked it. Jasmin bought me a Booster Juice before they dropped me off to work where I was kind of surprised to find out I was training three cashiers that night. It was fun though and they’re all pretty great too.
November 17, 2011
Another feeder school concert today and we went in the van instead of the bus, meaning super loud sound system and blasting oldies. :’)
November 18, 2011
I missed Friday nights at BLD, seriously.
November 19, 2011
Long shift at work then straight to an FE meeting at home, but it was a fun night with Jean and Faith regardless. I can never stop laughing whenever Faith is around.
November 20, 2011
I basically sold my soul to Chapters for the holidays today, on top of taking a bunch of shifts so I can afford to get the presents I want to get for my friends … and myself.
November 21, 2011
Spent the school day at Good Shepherd for our religion retreat which was not what I expected at all but it was still a good day. I learned how to make hotel-quality beds, kind of not really.
November 22, 2011
Woke up early to get ready because I had to take my grad photo today. I woke up a very cranky Dara to do my make-up and it wasn’t bad. I won’t mind these pictures that much. :) We also had the last feeder school concert today and in celebration, we all went to Tim Horton’s after as a class. Oh, music. And I took an extra shift today and because it was a Tuesday, my parents couldn’t pick me up so Adriana dropped me home instead and we bonded over Crispy Minis. xD
November 23, 2011
Happy birthday, Karl! Asmita and Kelly had this amazing idea to get Karl 17 presents for his 17th birthday and we all pitched in and it was lovely. :’)
November 24, 2011
Jed and Jasmin bought me a Kobo, a case and a blanket for Christmas! :’) AND THERE WERE COOKIES IN THE STAFF ROOM. GOOD DAY, GOOD DAY.
November 25, 2011
We watched the Real Me presentation during spare and it wasn’t bad this year and then I went on a Starbucks run for me and Asmita right after. Jacquie came over later that night and it was just nice to hang out. :)
November 26, 2011
Kelly’s going to try go for fashion! I don’t know, her telling me this just made me really happy. :)
November 27, 2011
I had a very amusing day at work today. Talking with my manager is always fun. And there were three cashiers working at once which hasn’t happened since I started working there, pretty much. I missed shifts like this.
November 28, 2011
Very chill day, I had no work so I took a very, very long nap after school.
November 29, 2011
Playing with Siri during second spare is very amusing. “Talk dirty to me.” “The carpet needs vacuuming.”
November 30, 2011
Saw my schedule at work for the next few weeks. O_O COME AT ME.
December 1, 2011
Last month of the year, wow, can’t believe this many days has gone by and I’ve actually been able to keep this up, kind of. Anyway, very chill shift at work today.
December 2, 2011
I conducted for the first time today. It was kind of scary but it’s quite fun too. :)
December 3-4, 2011
Of course, work.
December 5, 2011
Last rehearsal before the Christmas Concert and I’m actually quite excited because Nicole and Jacquie are coming and playing just makes me happy. :)
December 6, 2011
Hard morning but friends are great.
December 7, 2011
Civvies Day at school and we finally got our pins for university. :) And then I went on another Starbucks run for me and Asmita. And I finished 1Q84 and ohmigod, definitely one of my favourites.
December 8, 2011
Well, we got our spouses today in religion for our final assignment and I’m actually quite glad. He’s not going to slack, thank God. And tonight was the Christmas Concert, which was fun for me, though to be honest, most of the night was not the most amusing. But we ate out at Congee Dynasty after!
December 9, 2011
Last minute plans to go to Square One and Value Village with Jacquie and Nicole to find clothes for the BLD Advent Celebration and it turned out to be a great night despite the cold. We all found clothes at Value Village and then we had dinner at BarBurrito.
December 10, 2011
Day of the Advent Celebration. :) It was kind of a stressful night but I still had fun. Jasmin made me change my outfit and then did my hair and no one recognized me. And I just overall missed BLD people. Plus, the youth presentation was AMAZING.
December 11, 2011
Mushaboom was playing in Starbucks today. :’) And I caught up on all my Misfits episodes today, including the zombie one and rjgbaerkgbregieearljbg. And I applied to university. :O Ryerson, UTM and Western, fingers crossed.
December 12, 2011
Went to Second Cup for lunch today and made the rest of the day easier. :)
December 13, 2011
Asmita, Kelly and I went downtown right after school so we could take advantage of my Lomography coupon and because Mary was working. :) We ended up spending almost $700 collectively but such quality purchases. :’) And hopefully we’ll make it worth it. xD We also stopped by Eaton Centre to grab a bite to eat and at World’s Biggest Bookstore so I could get the last copy in the GTA of a book that Emily wanted for her Christmas present and it was just a very good night.
December 14, 2011
Chose my bridesmaids today, hypothetically. Also, got our cases from society6 in the mail today finally!
December 15, 2011
Finished reading the Night Circus and it’s just another amazing book. :’) Hopefully this streak will continue. And a customer are mean but co-workers are great.
December 16, 2011
Continued planning my fake wedding and found dresses for me and my bridesmaids and their gifts and this is actually quite fun. xD
December 17, 2011
Staff appreciation at work! Which means spending $29342390472. Well worth it though. Got most of my Christmas shopping done. :)
December 18, 2011
Last day of staff appreciation, went to work and obviously spent another $100 just because. BUT /NOW/ I’M DONE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
December 19, 2011
Got the english CPT done with, just gotta deal with religion and music now. :) And we started watching Star Trek in music and I didn’t realize what a great movie it is. So excited to play the piece next semester now!
December 20, 2011
Recorded our CD in band today. :) We’ll prolly re-record some of the pieces after the break because they weren’t amazing but I’m just glad we’re gonna have one for our final year. And I really hope Vespa lets me design the cover. And then Jacquie came over later that night which just automatically made my day and Jade was able to get her stuff from Chapters. :)
December 21, 2011
Emily and I exchanged presents today and gosh, I love her. :’) She got me Second Cup apple cider, chocolate, doodle art and a $50 Chapters gift card. The first of my friends or family to get me a Chapters gift card, ironically enough. xD
December 22, 2011
So like, all four years I’ve been taking music, it feels like I’ve just barely been getting by in the class because I’m clearly not a musical prodigy or anything like most of my class and I’ve never thought of myself as an actual, you know, good player. But Hibbitt told me today that I have a musicality when I play that doesn’t sound strenuous and there’s no fingering noises and apparently it’s relaxing and :’)
December 23, 2011
Got up super early to finish the religion CPT, Markus came over at like 7am with McDonalds and coffee and we finished up our reflections and finished putting the scrapbook together and we finished at like 9:20 so he rushed to school to hand it in before 9:30 and we JUST made it, thank God. I skipped the rest of the day to catch up on my sleep and then when I got up, I made a trip to Walmart to get ingredients for nachos to bring to Adriana’s Christmas potluck. The party was great, everyone is so nice despite me not knowing that many people. We also played Santa Steal and I stole Mary’s make-your-own pinhole camera that Nives got. :) Quite happy.
December 24, 2011
Spent Christmas Eve at work and then at Tita Rowie’s where there was some great food and the rest of my family was there and we opened presents and all that jazz. :) My parents got Dara and I Contigo tumblers from Costco (YES!) and a hairdryer. xD Gave the rest of my siblings their presents and they all liked what they got too which made me happy. :’) Actually went to sleep relatively early that night which is different but nice.
December 25, 2011
Pretty much spent all day in bed except for mass in the morning but it was nice. Needed the rest and I was able to watch Friends.
December 26, 2011
Extremely busy at work today which is particularly funny because we overstaffed last year, scheduling a bunch of people to work and no one came into the store. So obviously this year, we don’t schedule as many people and everyone possible comes in. The line stretched to the kids section, it was insane. It was an experience, I can tell you that.
December 27, 2011
Got a long overdue massage today and it was amazing, thank you very much. Then Nicole and Jacquie came over and I missed spending days with both of them and it was just such a good day. I gave them their presents and I’m so glad they liked them. :’) And Jacquie gave me the cutest little purse plus earrings and a necklace and I actually love them and her sister gave me a Hogwarts letter that I will forever cherish. We didn’t do much of what we actually planned to do, we pretty much sat and watched shows and made food then ate it, but still an amazing day.
December 28, 2011
Got to sleep in until I had to go to work and it’s finally starting to slow down. :) And I started reading my typography book when I got home and designed new resumes based on some of the chapters and I actually like a couple that I came up with. I stayed up getting Jacquie and Asmita’s opinions on them and I’m actually learning a lot!
December 29, 2011
Got to work with Kelly for the tiniest bit today, hadn’t seen her in awhile and I missed her! And the girl from Starbuck’s drew me (I think it was me) on the side of my cup and just d’aw. :’)
December 30, 2011
Went to Square One to run some errands and since boxing day week sales were still going on, I decided to do some shopping. Came up with a couple tops from Aritzia and Zara and I’m very satisfied. And I’m glad I have something else to wear for work now. xD
December 31, 3011
Wow, 365th day already. I closed the store at kind of record speed, given the circumstances, so that I could go to mass right after and then we had a small get-together at our house with family. I caught up with about half of this and just looking back, it’s been an amazing 365 days. I’m looking forward to another bunch of them. Thanks for being good to me 2011.
October 31, 2011
Pretty chill day at school. :) Me and @emilyliuu went to Second Cup during spare and I finally tried their apple cider since she’s been raving about it forever and a cheese croissant. I fell in love with both. The croissant was expensive but OH MAN. And to my surprise, I actually wrote my entire english essay in that one period without too much struggling. :’) Work was particularly chill as well because it was Halloween and hardly anyone came but it was a good shift nonetheless.
November 1, 2011
Today was like the first time I didn’t have to rush to get to school. I liked the feeling. Fingers crossed I can keep it up. :) Karl is so sweet, he gave me a bag of Halloween treats during spare, God bless him. :’) And we watched F. Scott Fitzgerald’s biography in english and honestly, it was pretty interesting to me. I can’t wait to start the Great Gatsby rjgbrekjger. Music was a lot of fun today taking pictures and laughing until it REALLY hurt. And because I didn’t have homework, I spent the night finally watching Sense and Sensibility and god, I love Alan Rickman. And I facetimed with @lmfaonicole, splurged on candy, edited her essay and made creative paused facetime faces. ‘Cause that’s how we do. Goodnight.
September 13, 2011
First band practice of the year! I’m actually really excited because of the pieces we’ll be playing. Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack Highlights this semester and Star Trek next semester. :) Then me, @jaquiqui and @lmfaonicole hung out for the first time in awhile with all of us together. We went to Square One because Zara had just opened and tried but failed to get me to try superkid ice cream because they ran out. xD Good day still.
September 14, 2011
Don’t laugh at me but the things we’re reading in english class make me so happy. Frye’s defense of literature (even though it was very dry, it had a couple of really good quotes), King Lear, Oedipus and The Great Gatsby. I can’t wait until The Great Gatsby, honestly.
September 15, 2011
First tests of the year in english and music and they were pretty good. :) And then I had a task shift from 7:00-11:45, I thought this would be the first and last one but not the case—it’s becoming a regular thing. I’m starting to kind of like it now though. Not much thinking, don’t have to deal with customers, I can play my own music after we close and I can wear whatever. :)
September 16, 2011
PA Day! I spent the day completely cleaning my room. And by completely, I mean completely. I went through everything in my desk and threw out all the notes I no longer need and the pile of papers it amounted to was significant. Later was BLD which is always fun.
September 17, 2011
Lax day at Nicole’s house. :) We made rainbow cake and watched a ton of TV and movies and ate like mofo’s. And Tita gave me a bunch of free toothpaste coupons, WOO!
September 18, 2011
Short shift at work and the rest of the day was pretty productive as I finished my music and religion assignment in one go.
September 19, 2011
Reading King Lear and making notes is so fun. You’d understand if you flip through my book. Oh, Shakespeare, why are you so amazing?
September 20, 2011
I actually put a lot of effort in my homework today and became so proud for a second. xD And Hank Green’s video with his wife made my day because they’re so damn cute!
September 21, 2011
Met Sarah Dessen today! :) She came to the Indigo at Eaton Centre and I arrived at just the perfect time so I wasn’t too far from the front of the line. I got all my books signed and Emily’s, she signed my wallet too and I got a few pictures as well. I went to grab something to eat after at the new food court and it’s actually pretty cool, everything matches, lawl. And then when I got back to Square One, Starbucks to end a good night. :) And that was also the day when I tried it with no water for the first time. Soon to become a regular drink.
September 22, 2011
One of my past teachers saw me in the hallway and said I was a good student. Which prolly isn’t a big deal but it made me smile. And my homeroom teacher was away and our subs were some of my favourite teachers. :’)
September 23, 2011
@ASTRONAUTES AND @KNOOGUYEN GOT HIRED AT CHAPTERS. Very happy day. I wasn’t able to go to BLD because I took my friend’s shift and worked instead but good thing I did because I was able to meet @flux-and-fl0w. :D
September 24, 2011
Someone made a really cute comment on Mamihlapinatapai that made my day.
September 25, 2011
I didn’t really know it at the time but I have friends who really care about me.
September 26, 2011
I had work and that’s really all I remember.
September 27, 2011
I’m alive.
September 28, 2011
Again, I had work.
September 29, 2011
Senior Sunrise today, I actually had a ton of fun. Everyone who played and sang were amazing and Marga’s poem was so cute! I got to spend the rest of the day at the yearbook workshop and got free food and some free stuff, woo. And then another task shift.
September 30, 2011
Erica gave me a cupcake. And it was delicious. And then after school, Jed and Jasmin brought me to Swiss Chalet and we had another very delicious meal. Because that’s the only kind we have. And when I got home, Jacquie came over and it was lovely and I really missed her and rekgbaerkgre.
October 1, 2011
Jed and Jasmin brought me to Jade’s Gardens and it was amazing there. It was so peaceful and nice and heavenly. And I got myself two new friends named Neville and Luna and I love them so. They are cacti. Very pretty cacti, who will grow to be even prettier and I am so proud of them. And then when I got home, there was an FE meeting for the Christmas Party and all the kids spent it in my room and it was a fun night with Faith, Jean and Dara. I always laugh until it physically hurts around them.
October 2, 2011
Today was the Random House Fall Preview and it basically renewed my love of reading, thank you.
October 3, 2011
I GOT SORTED TODAY. I am a Hufflepuff. Who would’ve known?
October 4, 2011
I MET LIGHTS TODAY. @jadakiisss is a lifesaver because I didn’t know we needed wristbands and she ran out in the middle of the day and got a couple for us. :’) We ate at Ginger before we got in line and we actually had a pretty decent spot. When we finally got to meet her, we were both able to get pictures with her, signed cds and Jade got a picture of her with a happy birthday sign for Jacquie and I got a video of her giving her a shout-out. Overall, just an amazing night.
October 5, 2011
We watched Mean Girls during spare period in the caf. ‘Nuff said.
October 6, 2011
The Value Village by my school opened today and me and Emily went to check out during our spare. It’s so cool and I was able to find a really sick winter jacket for $25. :’) We went to Square One right after and grabbed some Starbucks and just made it back in time for class. I had a doctor’s appointment after school but my mom sent me to go eat at pho while she waited because she knew I wouldn’t have time to eat after because of work, God bless her.
October 7, 2011
First time coming back to BLD after a couple of weeks and it was just nice to see everyone again.
October 8, 2011
I met up with @beautifulnbroken right after work and we walked to Streetsville to film for Jacquie’s birthday video. We need to hang out more! We grabbed some Starbucks before heading back and it was just very lovely. When I got back home, I found that my parents had gone to IKEA and gotten the chair I wanted for my room so I set it up with the help of my dad and set up the pictures on my wall. After, my family all watched Thor together. :) I missed these movie nights. Or rather, I missed actually being there for them.
October 9, 2011
Such a chill day at work, it was awesome.
October 10, 2011
Thanksgiving. :) Pretty much spent the day at work and Jed and Jasmin picked me up. And by the end of the car ride, they had somehow convinced me to take their hamsters. Wot.
October 11, 2011
Productive-ish day finishing my essay.
October 12, 2011
iOS 5 came out today and I love it. :’)
October 13, 2011
I missed Nicole. Seriously. Never again.
October 14, 2011
Skipped school to go to the university fair downtown. I ended up going alone but I actually didn’t mind so much. I was able to take as much time as I wanted talking to the representatives and checking out the booths. :) And I went to Lomography for the first time and it’s such a lovely shop and I got Jacquie’s present and the workers are so nice, omg. And then it was BLD.
October 15, 2011
Nicole came over while I was at work so when I got home, she was there. With a chocolate face. What even. She had to leave for a party but after she left, I finished editing Jacquie’s birthday video. :)
October 16, 2011
Long shift at work and then when I got home, I finished designing the ticket for the BLD Christmas Party so my parents would let me go to Jacquie’s. At 11something pm.
October 17, 2011
Happy birthday, bro. <4 I gave her her present and showed her the birthday video. She cried. :’)
October 18, 2011
Skipped school to tour Ryerson with Emily and I fell in love with the school. We had lunch at Korean Grill and went shopping like mad. :)
October 19, 2011
First driving lesson during spare period. I actually really like my instructor, he’s so cool. He kind of reminds me of Jed. LMAO. And then I had work with Asmita and it was such a good shift and we both got Awake lattes after so we could stay up and finish our homework.
October 20, 2011
English presentation today and I think/hope it went well. I had a good shift at work though. :)
October 21, 2011
Woo, got trumpet for my fourth instrument!
October 22, 2011
Went downtown to go get the Diana F+ before I go to Pennsylvania. :) Very happy with this purchase.
October 23, 2011
Left at 5am for Pennsylvania with my parents, Dara, Tito Rowie, Tita Medy, Tito Dante and Miguel. We arrived at 5pm and it’s such a nice villa, omg. I love spacious bathrooms, LMAO.
October 24, 2011
Decided to take it easy because we were all tired. But we had an amazing homecooked breakfast with sausages, eggs, tater tots and our own chai lattes. :’) Don’t judge us, we spent the day at Wal-Mart and K-Mart because the moms went crazy Christmas shopping. I got some really comfy PJ’s though!
October 25, 2011
We went to Poke-A-Nose (geddit? poke a nose? poconos? HA) Pottery today and I painted a little jar that I plan on putting all my change in and Dara painted a huge mug and Miguel painted a plate and it was a lot of fun, seriously. We checked out Dave’s Hippie Store after and it smelled like Green Earth and Dave was really laid back and it was very amusing, Dara got free earrings. Then we went to The Crossings, a premium outlet and we all went crazy. I got some shoes from Bass and a ton of clothes from Forever 21 and various other places and it was just amazing. I love states with no tax.
October 26, 2011
While everyone else went swimming, I played in the arcade and beat all the Guitar Hero high scores. LMAO. And I was able to walk around and get some really good shots in. :) And then we went to Ruby Tuesday’s for dinner and omg, best steak I’ve had in a long time.
October 27, 2011
We had one last epic breakfast at the villa before we checked out and went on the road. I bought cheez-its before I left the states. Hehe.
October 28, 2011
Back to school! Me and Emily went to Square One during spare and went to Chapters and had lunch together in the food court where I tried the Fiesta Mama Burger and it was actually really good. I grabbed some Starbucks before heading back to school and I was pleased to find that I was able to catch up on everything on that day. :) Except trumpet, I just have to practice.
October 29, 2011
Really early morning staff meeting at Chapters which was quite interesting. And then I had a shift right after so I spent 12.5 hours in all at Chapters that day. Woo. When I got home, my family was watching Pirates of the Caribbean and I found that Faith and Chantelle had come over. :) We ate alfredo and watched and it was very nice indeed.
October 30, 2011
Went to the UTM fall campus day with Jacquie and it was quite nice. It was cool checking out the campus and it kind of helped me be more sure of my decisions. We took pictures with our cameras and had Booster Juice and walked in circles multiple times. When I got home, Jed and Jasmin forced me into splitting sushi with them and it wasn’t a bad deal at all. 30 pieces of sushi for $13.99, WHAT. And I should really practice my trumpet.
I hope my math’s right and I got the days right. But anyway. Massive catch-up post. I apologize for the lack of eloquent … ness.
August 3, 2011
Spent the night starting work on the YE video and that was prolly the one really productive night when I worked on that video and not hate my life. But I had to get up early the next morning for the second day of driving class. And then I went to @jaquiqui’s house after and had school with Jamie. xD I left kind of late and in the pouring rain but always worth it. :) Then Jed brought me home some custom Wok Box dish for my dinner and it was delicious. And healthy. No regrets.
August 4, 2011
Third day of driving class and I had a grande tazo chai with me so it was much easier to go through. And when I got home, the dreamalittlemore t-shirts had finally come in the mail! :DDDDD I went out to rollerblade for a bit and Jacquie came over later and @jadakiisss picked up her share of the shirts. :)
August 5, 2011
Last day of driving class! And @mickeymagic got twitter so I can finally communicate with her when I am not sitting in my room. :) Aaaand then I walked to Costco because my brother is lazy and bought us all poutine for dinner.
August 6, 2011
I was supposed to go to Youth Making Waves but my mom is my mom. But we went to Coldstone.
August 7, 2011
Wonderland with Chapters, Jed, Jasmin, Jacquie and Dara! It was actually quite an epic day. The weather was nice despite the random raining, it wasn’t too hot. And I went on a ton of rides I would’ve never gone on before but clearly things aren’t nearly as terrifying when you have a best friend. And we sang Never Too Late and Hands Up on Behemoth and Minebuster and screamed “Wreck This Journal” on Dragon Fire. Omg. And Starlight Spectacular was gorgeous and just good vibes.
August 8, 2011
Spent the day with the tater nation debriefing the YE weekend and then just having an amazing time. We laughed ‘til it physically hurt and went to Putting Edge and had fun even though I lost and went to smelly parks with odd contraptions and had delicious, super filling pizza. Ahhh, just :’)
August 9, 2011
Played Halo with Chantelle and Frances and Christian before praise practice. :) And @lmfaonicole ended up sleeping over to support me as I got my braces off the next morning.
August 10, 2011
BRACES FREEEEEEE! I got a loot bag from my orthodontist with a chocolate bar inside that said my smile is beautiful. xD We ate at Congee Dynasty after with the classic soft shell crab fried rice that I love so very much and then we dropped Nicole off and I had to go to work.
August 11, 2011
Directory meeting at my house! I had to walk to Walmart to grab a bunch of ingredients and I made nachos which were quite amazing, not gonna lie. We got most of the pages designed and Jacqueline came during the meeting and bought/borrowed my old phone. :’) Jacquie came later just before everyone else left and I don’t even remember what we actually did but I just know we laughed a lot.
August 12, 2011
Went to Woodbine Beach with Nicole, Dara and a bunch of the YE grads and other youth. :) Got some quality Nylon reading time in and free Juicy Fruit (btw, my first gum in two years). Then we went to Yorkdale and got some Booster Juice and body butter from The Body Shop for 50% off, WOO! Then it was Jean’s PNW. :)
August 13, 2011
I went to work? Then got a pedicure, courtesy of Cora.
August 14, 2011
Opening shift at work then when I got home, pretty much my entire family was at my house because Billy was in town. After everyone left, Jed and Jasmin brought me to her place and we watched Star Wars and Big Bang Theory. :) And I met their hamsters, Zoe, Lulu and Tara. :’) So cuuuuute, Zoe’s my favourite. :D
August 15, 2011
Early ortho appointment to get my retainer and apparently I only need to wear it at night, thank God! And then I had work after.
August 16, 2011
I finished reading Sarah’s Key. :)
August 17, 2011
Jed picked me up early and brought me to Jasmin’s to finish watching Star Wars and after, we went for a walk and Jed revealed to me some things that changed my entire perspective on life but will not share here for fear of … stuff. But we went to Costco and had delicious, cheap food and got a Roots bag for $20, woo! And then I had a task shift later that night and I ended up buying Urbanears because I just couldn’t stand being without music any longer.
August 18, 2011
Chill day for the most part, I worked on directory and we went school shopping when my dad came home from work. :) New pens always excite me.
August 19, 2011
I went to watch One Day with Jacqueline and just Jim Sturgess, hnnnnnng. And Jacquie actually ended up coming to BLD, so I was able to see her before she left for Hawaii. :)
August 20, 2011
First driving lesson with dad, it was quite amusing. That is all. And then I had my first cash shift in awhile. I missed it, honestly.
August 21, 2011
Early shift at work then got picked up by my parents and we had a family lunch at Zen Garden. It’s a vegetarian place and holy crap, it was amazing. So delicious and I felt completely guilt-free pigging out.
August 22, 2011
Spent the day slaving over directory again. I walked to Staples and bought paper, forgetting that I don’t have a car. So I walked home carrying 50lbs. of paper. Oh lawd. Productive though?
August 23, 2011
Stayed up most of the night with Jacquie before she left for the airport. We were basically on tumblr the entire night dying at things that were prolly not even that funny. And cats. Then she left and I slept for a tiny bit before getting up for a directory meeting at Nicole’s. And by meeting, we mean getting tons of Starbuck’s and eating and deep-frying everything and more eating. We finished the last of the design process and printed all of the pages at praise practice. :)
August 24, 2011
Massage. :’) And then I went to meet up with Nicole and Jed and Jasmin drove us to Sherway to find outfits for Faith’s birthday. We both found something, thank God.
August 25, 2011
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FAITH! :D Bussed with Nicole and met up with @tgifeliz at Islington and everyone else later. Had a buffet lunch then we all went to Eaton’s and we bumped into Yhael and Marvie. :) And I bought a Minnie sweater that I quite adore. Then we all went to CNE and went to the petting zoo and watched Lights. And bought delicious perogies. And after mom and pa picked us up from Port Credit, they brought us to Golden China for a midnight snack.
August 26, 2011
Lovely picnic with @premature-millionaires, @disinnocence, Karl, @knooguyen, Vicki, Victoria, Mark and Derrick in Streetsville. :) A lot of great finds at the thrift store, come at us, December civvies! Then we had BLD and after, we ate out at Congee Wong and it was actually a very enjoyable meal, reminiscing about FE memories.
August 27, 2011
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRANCES! :D Amazing surprise debut for her after work, she cried. :’) Fun night with the bld fam, dancing and other tomfoolery. And David finally made a twitter. :D
August 28, 2011
Got Lion on Alaska! I pretty much spent the day playing with it and working on the video. Then ended up watching the Devil Wears Prada.
August 29, 2011
Last directory meeting. We finished cutting and binding all the directories then deep fried more stuff, of course. Very productive day, I think.
August 30, 2011
Jed and Jasmin brought me to Streetsville after I showed Jasmin the glory of thrifting. 7 PIECES OF CLOTHING FOR $30 YESSSS. Including a bomber jacket and a Harley Davidson jacket, both $5. :D And we splurged on the food Streetsville has to offer- we had lunch at Osmow’s, mmm lamb. And then we went to Murphy’s for dessert and split the pistachio ice cream and just unf. We made one last stop at Square One and stared at watches and made some quality purchases at Chapters. Then praise practice, of course.
August 31, 2011
I had work and was super tired after but made up some excuse so I could go to Nicole’s after because I really didn’t want to go home. I treated her to Tim Horton’s and talked on the walk back to her place, which I really needed to do because I hadn’t actually talked to her in awhile despite seeing her all the time.
September 1, 2011
I had work? And @astronautes and Kelly got interviews to Chapters, WHAAAAT.
September 2, 2011
Wonderland with Jenny, Claudia and Alice. Seriously missed these girls, I hadn’t seen them since CLAY itself. Many inside jokes were created and aw, I’m just glad I met them that weekend. :) Lovely girls. I’m pooing.
September 3, 2011
Got soaked on the way to work and got a bunch of rude/creepy people at Chapters today, it was weird. But whatever, it was an interesting day?
September 4, 2011
Got some amazing 90% off stuff at Chapters, including the photo clock and eyebod. :D And then the family had lunch at pho and I tried the red velvet ice cream at Marble Slab, NOT BAD AT ALL.
September 5, 2011
Mom and pa brought me to visit UTM and Ryerson just to check them out. I rather like both. :/ It was a fun dayish too, we ate at Best Friend restaurant in Chinatown and went around in a circle downtown.
September 6, 2011
First day of grade 12. My courses aren’t bad, actually. And I had a guidance appointment after school so I dropped Challenge and Change in Society so I now have a second spare which will be quite useful. And I asked my guidance counsellor about Ryerson’s media programs and she said, “RYERSON’S AMAZING. Aw, I’m so excited for you!” :’) And then I went to Jacquie’s house after I got home, missed that girl like you have no idea. We went back to my house and then went to praise practice.
September 7, 2011
Blah, school. First time with my spare though. We played board games and stuff. xD And then I had work after school and I tried a pumpkin spice latte. It was pretty good, but I think I’ll stick with my chai.
September 8, 2011
School and work, yeah? Jed and Jasmin picked me up and we went to Sam Woo to get noodle soup for my mom and we picked something for us, decided, of course, by Rock Paper Scissors.
September 9, 2011
Was half an hour late for school but he didn’t mark it, thank God. And I got paid. :D I bought the watch I’ve been eyeing for awhile and the well-needed Keds and the last of my debt to Jasmin is paid off. Then I went to Jacquie’s house to get her help to finish the last of the YE video before the reunion. Then of course, it was time for the YE #13 reunion. I think it turned out alright, I loved Marylous’s PNW and I think they liked the videos and the directories. :)
September 10, 2011
Met up with Faith literally right before work so she could give me money to buy Wreck This Journal. :’) SO CLOSE NOW! And then we watched the Phantom of the Opera after and now the songs are stuck in my head.
September 11, 2011
Opening shift and then got picked up to go to Denny’s to celebrate my grandparents’ anniversary of coming to Canada. And then my parents brought me, Jed and Jasmin downtown to Mountain Equipment Co-op for bags and I’m very, very, very, very, very pleased with mine. :’) And me and Asmita brainstormed ideas for videos to enter in the Toronto Urban Film Festival, quite excited for that.
September 12, 2011
It was Picture Day at school and me, Asmita and Michael volunteered as part of yearbook and it was such a chill day, I loved it. We just sat, giving people their names and then we got fed for it. Hell yes. The only class I ended up going to was music. Then when I got home, I crashed for four hours and then got up to eat. And then I facetimed with Nicole. And now I’m caught up on my 365 again. Hopefully I won’t wait another month to do it again.
July 6, 2011
I DON’T REALLY REMEMBER BUT APPARENTLY I HAD WORK THAT NIGHT SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN A PRETTY GOOD NIGHT.
July 7, 2011
Aforementioned.
July 8, 2011
I thiiiink I went to BLD that night. I think.
July 9, 2011
YE Meeting all day at OLA. Well, most of the day. The night was spent at the Vitugs’ anniversary and it was quite amusing. Adults line dancing to every possible song.
July 10, 2011
Went to mass at 1:30 and met some future YE candidates. :) I had a short closing shift and when I got home, there were wings and a bottle of crush waiting for me courtesy of my lovely brother. As well as the full Harry Potter collection. Finished watching Philosopher’s Stone that night and started Chamber of Secrets but crashed halfway through.
July 11, 2011
I rollerbladed for the first time with Jed and Jasmin and I kind of learned? Anyway, it was fun and it may very well be a favourite mode of transportation. Went to work later that night too. :)
July 12, 2011
Jed woke me up early and we went skating again and I can seriously get used to this. Most fun physical activity I’ll prolly get. @lmfaonicole came over and we went to Michael’s to get some stuff for YE and she also tried Booster Juice for the first time, finally. And she treated us to Krispy Kreme. :) Then it was praise practice for the rest of the night.
July 13, 2011
It was Harry Potter night at work and I got to dress up as Harry and help kids make their own wands. :’) They let me use the costume for the movie too. :D
July 14, 2011
Spent the day watching/reading what Harry Potter I could before the movie and while waiting for @jaquiqui and Nicole to get their butts over here. Then we went to AMC for the most anticipated night for months and obviously the line went all around to the back of the theatre. It wasn’t a bad wait though and the moon was gorgeous and I wouldn’t want to watch it with anyone else even if they haven’t read the books. -.- And I can honestly say it was the best HP movie made and I will watch it again and again. Not even going to go in to the actual movie because there’s just too much to say and my reblogs pretty much say it all. And then they both slept over. :)
July 15, 2011
Woke up early because of Jacquie and Dara having to go to school so I ate breakfast with them and waited a bit because Nicole sleeps like me in religion class. We barely got to do anything though because her mom came to pick her up for a hair appointment but it was cool because she and my mom kind of bonded over vegetables/gardens. xD But there was BLD later that night too and Jacquie came home with us and slept over again because of the YE meeting the next day.
July 16, 2011
We woke up super early to get ready for the YE meeting and we were fully ready in order to get there on time but we ended up being 2-3 hours late because my parents wanted to get completely ready for the BLD picnic before we actually left. But at least we got Second Cup and A&W for breakfast. :) And when we finally got there, it was quite a good/productive day, to be honest. I was super excited for the weekend at that point. And then I think Jacquie came home with us and just chilled at my house until her parents came but I’m not sure, that might be a different day. Regardless, good day with my bros and bldfam.
July 17, 2011
I had work pretty much all day but the sales are intense and I ended up getting a $100 clock for $15. Oh Chapters, I love you.
July 18, 2011
First day of summer school, the school part itself was terrible but I kind of loved walking to school and home with Jacquie. :) We got halo-halo from Something Sweet and it was quite delicious and Nicole came soon after. Jacquie had to leave but we went back to Heartland to grab some more stuff from Michael’s and check out some stuff at Staples as well. When we got home, Nicole had to leave by then too but her dad dropped me off at Jacquie’s house and we were able to pretty much finish most of the stuff there. :)
July 19, 2011
Walked to school with bro again. :) Then came home and started playing Halo with @chantaytay, @darabara, and Christian. Man, I missed playing ekjfbeagrekge. Then Nicole came and we went to OLA for a final meeting and ahhhh, YE soon. :D
July 20, 2011
IT’S ALL A BLUR. But I had work that night and I discovered that I sold 69 Wreck This Journals so far. SO CLOSE.
July 21, 2011
One more day ‘til YE! But long story to this day. I planned to finish everything for the weekend and finish all my errands today because it was my only day off. But I walked into Chapters and my manager saw me and asked, “Wanna start early?” Um, I’m not working today. “Yes you are.” Obviously when I check the schedule I actually am and I freak out but it kind of all worked out because I was able to move my Donato’s appointment up before my shift and I pulled an all-nighter finishing everything for the weekend.
July 22, 2011
The school day just zoomed by and I went home to rush-pack and Nicole came shortly after so we left and obviously I forgot a ton of crap so I had to call/text my sister to bring it all. But ahhh, good day anyway even though I died of heat and drowned in sweat.
July 23, 2011
Second day of YE and it was absolutely lovely. The special thing was one of the best performances of it I’ve seen and the day went by relatively smoothly and the skits were a blast and ahhhhrekgjberkgjer.
July 24, 2011
The day I discovered how much hope this class gives me. They’re all so close and actually got the concept of the weekend and I teared seeing them on the last day. Bahhh. So happy for them. :) Then when I got home, I had two minutes to sleep then it was off to the drive-in to watch HPDH2 with Jed and Jasmin with free food and stuff courtesy of Investors’ Group. Good end to the weekend.
July 25, 2011
Back to school and super exhausted but that’s okay because I came home and mom bought red bean ice cream bars. :) And then I had work, long day but that’s me. But when I got home, there was a very epic twitter conversation that went down concerning praise and worships, hair, and @mkfernandez’s freakish looks. :)
July 26, 2011
I finished writing my adoration prayer for my praise and worship and I think it was my favourite prayer I wrote for that day. :) And then it was praise practice and it was all good. :)
July 27, 2011
Barely did anything in class because it was all playing the CPT games so good stuff. Didn’t even touch my notes for the exam next day. I went to Square One instead to meet up with Nicole, Chantelle, Maegan, Justin, and Drazen. Made a very productive purchase though and finally got another shirt to wear for work so I’m not forced to default to a golf shirt everytime.
July 28, 2011
Finished the exam and it was quite an interesting rest of the day. I went to Jacquie’s house then to Nicole’s house then we went to Square One for Nicole’s Apple appointment. We got Starbuck’s then Nicole went back home and I went back to Jacquie’s house and I can honestly say I love spending time with her and Jamie. :’) And then I had to go back to Square One for work.
July 29, 2011
GOT PAID! And I can graduate on time now because I completed civics, aha. We watched Mr. Bean in class and then me and Jacquie went to Walmart to buy some ingredients and we made French Vanilla Cake flavoured rice krispies that were originally supposed to be red velvet but we couldn’t find the cake mix there. And then we had some history-based discussions that piqued so much curiousity. -_- And I still am curious because I still don’t know what happened. But anyway. Wrote the rest of my prayer and reflection. And then it was time. And then it was over but I’m just glad I was able to do something. And then there was some talk of interesting things to take place next week and I’m quite excited erakgbekjgberkje. Okay.
July 30, 2011
Got to sleep in for the first time in God knows how long. But I also had work the rest of the day. :)
July 31, 2011
Had work again pretty much all day but I started reading The Picture of Dorian Gray and it’s quite a lovely book.
August 1, 2011
I had breakfast with Jacqueline. Seriously missed this girl so much. We made more Rice Krispie squares and cheese omelettes and we played Wii until her parents came to bring her to work. And then I had work. xD And it was quite an amazing shift because this lady bought $700 worth of books and it was amazing so we made stretch budget. And then Lynda bought a Wreck This Journal. And just good vibes all around all night. Kjkrbgkerjsbgekr. :D And then I completely cleaned my room and rearranged all my books according to category and then alphabetically.
August 2, 2011
Was late for driver’s school this morning but I kind of made up for it. But I met up with Jacquie after and we went to Baskin Robbins and Second Cup for some summer treats and both were quite delicious. New praise-practice-free-Tuesday tradition? And then we got a Happy Meal because we wanted the toy, aha. But I got home and went back out to rollerblade and that just completed the day. :) And now I am caught up in my 365 and it feels good. WHEW.
June 29, 2011
Went wogging with @jaquiqui this morning. :) Then we went to Jasmin’s grad dinner that night at that Chinese place in Courtney Park that I forgot the name of. It was quite delicious though, I particularly liked the fried rice. And we got Coldstone after too and the worker loved us so he gave us extra and made it that much more amazing. :’)
June 30, 2011
I had a lovely picnic with Felix, Karl, Jan, Michael, Kelly, and Vicki at Streetsville. :) Food was quite good and some good pictures were taken and had some epic discoveries at the thrift store. I had work right after and during break, the guy at Starbuck’s added coconut to my soy green tea latte which I wasn’t sure about at first but it was amazing. God bless him, seriously. Oh, and Rach called me hot. <3
July 1, 2011
Jed and Jasmin brought me to Celebration Square for the Canada Day celebration which wasn’t bad. Jasmin treated me to a freezie and we listened to Sheridan’s version of Glee. And we got some Italian iced tea and sandwiches from Fazooli’s and those were quite good. But yeah, the rest of the night was very chill.
July 2, 2011
Woke up super early to work starting at 9 in the kid’s renovation section. It’s really coming along and I’m super excited for its opening. :’) But I worked from 9-5 and ended up accepting another shift so that I also closed ‘til 10:30. -_- I didn’t really mind though, I miss cash shifts. I was able to go home before the closing shift for a bit though and I facetimed with @lmfaonicole and that was … interesting. She chilled in the fridge. Get it? Chilled? AHHH. And I borrowed Slideology and started reading it, it’s so interesting and I’m actually learning quite a bit and now I need to invest in sticky notes.
July 3, 2011
Short shift at work in the morning but it got me up. :) So I pretty much had the rest of the day to myself and I was able to go out and buy those sticky notes. Just gotta put them to use now. And I finished the Order of the Phoenix again.
July 4, 2011
I missed report card pick-up day but I didn’t want to have gone there for nothing so I bought a quesadilla from Bar Burrito and shared it with my mom when I got home. :) Then I got changed and went to work a little bit earlier so I can start scouting around for frames. Met up with Faith and her friend for a bit and they walked me over to work. It was a crazy shift but it’s cool.
July 5, 2011
I started my music collection over again so there’s barely any music on my phone now. Glad for the new beginning though. :) Went back to Square One to continue my hunt for pretty, decent-priced frames and met up with @whatupcruz and Nicole. We got the Second Cup Tuesday special and we went to Eyestar Optical and I think I found the ones that I want. I just need Jed and Jasmin’s approval now, aha. Me and Nicole had to leave for praise practice after which was alright, I like the new song a lot. :) Gonna continue reading now, goodnight!
June 28, 2011
I went to Jasmin’s grad mass this morning and the buffet breakfast afterwards where they played the grad video. It was quite well put-together, it got me feeling quite sentimental and it wasn’t even my class. It kind of got me excited for next year too—I really want to make this year count. Which is funny because I’ve said that for the past three years but seriously. Let’s do this. :3 When I got home, Canada Post was back to work and my package finally came so the skin for my iPhone is finally on. :’) And then we booked my driver’s lessons which will start next weekend so I’m quite excited for that as well. Then we played Tetris and I walked to Something Sweet and got halo-halo courtesy of my mom. Then finally, we had a meeting for the YE and I started working on the nametag design which is almost done and we decided on a colour for the t-shirt. :) We’re getting there!
June 24, 2011
Today was absolutely lovely. I hung out with Mathura, Britina, and Maria for the first time in what seems like a complete year. We watched X-Men: First Class which was one of the most entertaining movies I have ever watched what with its excess of corny lines and foreshadowing. We then ate lunch at Boston Pizza and went shopping in Square One, taking advantage of some very good deals. :) But just generally, I seriously missed hanging out with these girls and I kind of forgot how natural it is to be myself around them. For the past year, we kind of drifted and over time, I myself started to convince myself that they didn’t want me around anymore since I dropped out of IB and I saw how they were just as close as ever and I felt left out a lot of the time. To be honest, I thought I was the only affected by the drift and that they were perfectly fine without me and I even kind of lived a bit just trying to convince myself that I was just as fine without them. But apparently I wasn’t the only one as I saw through yearbook comments and just little things we talked about that day. Aha, but all corniness aside, I just missed having days like today and I look forward to more this summer and the coming year. And then there was also BLD and I pretty much shared all of the above during LWG.
June 25, 2011
I woke up at like 3am, thanks to @lmfaonicole but that’s okay because she > sleep. After her phone died, I just stayed up and tried to study more for my G1, skimming the book and doing all the practice tests. Finally, Jed and Jasmin picked me up and we went on our way to the test centre. On the way, we were held up by like 39483094 geese crossing the street and it was cutest thing ever. A cop turned his car so that he could protect them. :’) When we got there, I stood in line while they went to get Timmy’s. They came back with an English Toffee coffee and a cream cheese bagel for me that helped keep me awake. Long and short of it is that I passed though. After that, we went to Square One to pick up Felix and we all went to Momiji Sushi for lunch. Never trust Jasmin with the menu—we ended up ordering way too much and it was a repeat of the 168 incident where we were dying forcing ourselves to finish the rest so we don’t get charged. It was really good food though. After that, we went back to Square One and me and Felix just went around for a bit and I was able to get a quote for the YE t-shirts as well. We went around a few places around the Square One area that I never really acknowledged or realized how peaceful or aesthetically pleasing or just generally nice places they are. We walked out into the middle of the Bollywood festival in the middle of the Celebration Square and got free stuff and watched people dance which was quite amusing. And then to finish off the day, I had a pretty good shift at work as well. :)
June 26, 2011
I woke up early to go to mass and then it was off to work! We finally got the Harry Potter issue of Empire in stock so I rushed to buy that on my break and I’m so happy with it. :’) It had a “Collector’s Portfolio” with breathtaking photos of the cast and a collection of photos from the past films as well and just ahhhh. I wanna do something with it in my room but I have no idea what yet. After work, I just spent the rest of the day loafting at home which was actually a nice change considering I haven’t had much time to myself since summer started and I don’t see anytime soon either. Not that I mind tho—good times coming, I just wish I could fit in sleep somewhere.
June 27, 2011
Woke up early again to shower and go to school for exam review day. I was a little late but no big deal. I was still able to check my french, anthro, and media exams. I was happy with anthro—only got one wrong and I ended up with a 96 in the course. :) Then I met up with @astronautes and Danielle for a small bit before I got on the 34 to get to Nicole’s house. After the mission there finally ended, me, her, and @jaquiqui had brunch together though Jacquie had to leave right after. :( After, me and Nicole walked to Erin Mills and it was just lovely walking and talking. We went shopping for a bit and we got summer drinks from Second Cup with recommendations from the workers. :) We checked out Indigo for a bit and there’s this book I found that I will prolly look into next time I work. And then we started heading back to her house and had a completely carnivorous meal consisting of chicken wings, sausage, and something else I won’t name in case I’m wrong. But yes, it was a lovely day and Nicole ended up getting an interview, so happy for her. :’) So we updated her resume and had a practice interview and I really think she’s set. They dropped me off at home later and @jadakiisss dropped by so we have everything ready for the t-shirt order now. :) And my mom just told me that we have a little less than a week booked in October for this resort in the mountains in Pennsylvania and I’m so hyped. Krekbgaekjrgeager. Okay, I’m going to read now, bye.
June 21, 2011
Wrote the anthropology exam today which wasn’t bad at all. When I got home, I fell asleep for a good five hours. It was just a really chill day and I facetimed with @lmfaonicole later that night. And I finished the Goblet of Fire. Again.
June 22, 2011
Wrote the french exam which wasn’t the best but I’m just happy that it’s over with. I watched Pretty Little Liars afterward as well as another episode of Skins. And today was a very good food day. I came home and Jed gave me Wok Box. Then Dara made fried rice. And then Jed gave me some leftover homecooked food from Jasmin. ‘Twas delicious. But yes, another chill day.
June 23, 2011
Pottermore was announced today! I’m actually so excited now that I’ve read more about it and I hope that somehow I can be one of the few that get in early even though I have no idea how other than to “follow the owl.” And I wrote my last exam today—media studies. Not a bad exam at all either. And I can finally breathe (metaphorically, not literally because I have a cold and I can’t even). I got home and showered and bussed to Sharon’s house and we had a Jurassic Park marathon with her, Britina, Natalie, and Isaac. With some delicious chocolate-covered marshmallows and other munchies. It was good times. :) Sharon lent me the first book of the Series of Unfortunate Events because I never really read the whole series in order or completely for that matter. I went back home and walked to Wok Box and picked up Jasmin and we walked back home together. It was a very interesting walk, to be honest with you. Once we got home, she watched Anastasia on Alaska and I read Order of the Phoenix and Dara joined us and we all ended up crashing on my bed. And now I finished cleaning and I can go tomorrow and all is well. Goodnight.
June 14, 2011
Presented Mamihlapinatapai in media class today and I’m quite happy with the reactions. :) I’m kind of rather proud of it in case that isn’t obvious yet. xD I rewatched The Time Traveler’s Wife when I got home and kind of cried for a bit too. I adore both the movie and the book. @chantaytay serenaded me while I was brushing my teeth. Er. Then it was off to praise practice for my sister’s PNW—learned a new song and it was a good night. We had a little 90s songs fest after. :’) And the rest of the night was spent beings derps with @jaquiqui and @lmfaonicole with Photo Booth. -_-

I forgot it was the last civvies day of the year. BUT THANK GOD FOR JACQUELINE AND ERICA WHO LENT ME THEIR SWEATER AND JEANS FOR THE DAY. And Jasmin gave me a pina colada lollipop. And I kind of miss Jacqueline even thought I see her everyday, it’s never for longer than 5 minutes. :( We need to have another pancakes day this summer. and then me and @darabara had an epic high five that involved me leaping from my chair and over my bed. I facetimed with Nicole later that night and she sang a very er, unique song. But she makes my day so. ;)

Mr. Kirley brought us muffins in class today and we got our schedules for next year. It’s actually so perfect—I just need to drop Challenge and Change in society. And we also got our yearbooks which is actually better than previous years’. Something I will never admit to Jasmin though. Madame announced the winners for the French teams this year and we won. :DÂ We got Mike & Ike’s, Mars Slim bars, and pop. I just took the Mars Slim, aha. I skipped fourth period but ended up coming back to the school anyway to fight for Jasmin’s extra grad ticket but I got it. :) I went to work straight with some rainbow shrimp from Bourbon St. Grill after but I had a bit to wait before my shift actually started so I took a nap in the staff room. Diyaa walked in after a bit and thought I was sad and said that her “heart broke into a million pieces”. I love people who care. :’) I watched the last Harry Potter trailed during my break and got goosebumps, AHHHHH. And then I found out that we sell scooters at work and I tested it out and now I want one. Will make going to Jacquie’s house 39432094832094x more fun.

‘Twas the last day of school today. I slept in and skipped first and went to second just to hand in my sociology article. I ended up staying pretty much the entire day though as I forgot that FX actually has some amazing people and I miss them dearly. It was pretty much yearbook signing and there was karaoke in a random class. :) After school, I went to get the photos printed at Black’s and Jed, Jasmin, and Jeff picked me up and we got Popular Pizza and Jasmin treated me to halo-halo for getting the grad ticket for her. It was an amazing meal. We went to BLD later and I was mentioned in Dara’s PNW which was quite nice. :’)

Woke up early and even though Jacquie couldn’t come, I went wogging which was kind of boring by myself so I jogged over to the park but I got bored there too. So I went home and I went on the treadclimber, but I eventually got bored of that as well. HOWEVER, because of all that, I ended up with a good hour of working out so it wasn’t all bad. Right after, we went to Tako Sushi for an early Father’s Day thing and it was deliciously filling. They dropped me off at Square One after and I picked up the photos which turned out quite nicely. I spent the rest of the time before my shift at the library and I was able to be rather productive, I’m happy to say. It was a good shift too, I was able to be Geronimo Stilton for the first time which was so fun. Excited for all the kids stuff to come. :3

Went to the 8:00 mass with Jed and Jasmin and then we went to Timmy’s after for breakfast. I tried the Vanilla Spice ice cappucino, which wasn’t bad at all. I went to work right after for more Geronimo Stilton time. :) After my shift, I went back to the library and did the rest of my review. When I got home, I put up the photos and cleaned my room and tried to continue being productive the rest of the night but I kind of collapsed on my bean bag.

I was almost late for my exam today but I sprinted home and got Jed to drive me to school, God bless him. The English exam was quite easy, just glad to have it over with now. After the exam, I got home and worked out before showering and meeting Jacquie and @beautifulnbroken to study. We went to Chapters and grabbed some stuff before settling in Starbuck’s fully stocked with food. :) It was quite nice finally meeting Gabby and I actually got stuff done while having a damn good time. And during work, I overheard some nice things being said about me and it just made me giddy. :) Then after work, I was able to get some more Starbuck’s and now I got the energy and was able to complete my anthro review. Plus Dara made me a bracelet? Haha. Anyway, gonna try to grab some reading/sleep in. Hopefully tomorrow is easy too.
