My Dinner - April 30 2010

This is called a bento box, it has Beef Don, salad, tempera, and gyoza! Sorry for short post, but I just wanted to show you what I'm eating!

The High School Years -

A few months ago, I saw some people that I haven't seen in years. I've known them for 5 years now, but they don't go to my school, not in any of the same clubs and sports as me, so I don't see them much. Well, a few months ago, I saw them again, they invited me and my sister to go bowling, and we did. Well, an hour later, obviously we talked. The people I'm talking about: One of them is 11 years old, and one of them is 6. Well, obviously there was some older people there, and people my age, and stuff, but anyways, the 11 year old and the 6 year old (They're siblings) asked me how old I was, well they haven't seen me for about a year. So I said I'm thirteen. And their eyes widened and said,"You're thirteen!" And I said,"Yeah" And they said ,"That means you're a TEENAGER!" And I said,"Yup" looking confused because their sister has already FINISHED high school, so I thought,"What's so bad about being a teenager?" Well, before I asked, they already answered my question."You're a teenager so that means you smoke, drink, party, and have sex!" I was pretty surprised because a SIX year old and a eleven year old said that at the same time. Well, I thought,"Wow, does that mean their sister does that?" Well, I had no reply, I did say ,"No", but I changed the subject. But yesterday at Facebook, I was talking to Aaron, and somehow we started talking about the high school years, and Aaron said some things that I thought should be in a post. (Aaron should make a blog, he can think about so much!) This is what he said: (He said A LOT) BTW, he gave me permission to put this in my blog. And the following is EDITED, I changed some of the words, fixed all spelling and grammar mistakes, and deleted some sentences.

"Seriously, a person's personality changes a lot in High School, I remember hanging out with some people in  elementary, and they were really nice, but not anymore.  Everytime I see them, it's really awkward. It's in High School where people discover who they are, and they can get influenced by other people or may just want to try and fit in and their personality changes, it's like they want to start a new life. In a few years they start comming back to old memories and friends and find that what they grew up around with has changed and doesnt care about them. Some might still care about them but the bond that was there years ago was gone and it's like a fresh new person who looks familiar, and you remember memories of them but they have changed. Usually they don't even want to talk to old friends until its too late and they are avoided by the friends they have grown up around. Sometimes when people you grow up around of and socialize with stop talking to you and come back later.You might have expelled the personality you have aquired from them and filled it with new friends. High school is a time of when teenagers become more open, and try new things. Don't try backing out of new things or talking to friends because you can start lacking social skills and you start getting less outgoing and you have a hard time building a collection of friends. High school is a time of when guys become men and girls become women. In that process, there is a lot of hormone changes happening. Another thing is when guys and girls become more developed,  they take interest in the opposite gender. People start getting feelings at different times than their friends and they might leave their group to start flirting or they notice the changes in their body and they try to match themselves with a group. People might also leave their friends behind when they go to a new school because there is more people. Even if they're a close bond with friends, they will still leave for people they dont really like THAT much. Teenagers like to experiment, and they dont want to be a "nobody" because high school is the best years of a person's life and they want all the fame they can get. They also want to experiment because as they are developing, they start to look at themselves more and point out everything that is wrong with them, even mentally with the music they listen to. Music can have a big influence on a person's life, some people even set goals or mental notes on what they hear, even when they hear no lyrics, They respond to the beat. If they like a band a lot they might start mimicking on what the band wears or hair styles. Actors do affect them, they might want to shape their personality around them. Teenagers can start leading dramatic life styles if they aren't accepted or aren't getting enough attention. Gangs, cults; (drugs, booze), just want to try and stand out. I think everyone knows someone who takes on a dramatic life style. During these dramatic life styles people might get in trouble and their peers or family starts reacting to their changes, and they react back and start getting more rebellious. Teenagers are pretty sensitive to what happens around them, death of a family member, kicked out of a group, insults; they want to change; physical appearance and speaking. Some people are even oblivious to all this and have a calm attitude, but there aren't many people who are. Some will ignore you at school or any public place but will talk to you on facebook or text you. I dont think this is because they hate you or ignore you, Its because they are scared of what their friends might say about it." Aaron Garfield 

Wouldn't that make a great speech? Good job Aaron, I agree with everything he said. It could have been longer, but I was tired, and I wanted to sleep. So I kinda just interrupted him, lol. And it was longer, I had to edit some stuff out.

I agree everyone just wants to be popularity. Popularity, power, and attention can change people and can lead to betrayal and a loss of friends. They can change people negatively or positively but usually negatively.
In my opinion, a person's personality does change in high school. The only thing I don't agree with Aaron is the whole music thing. I think actors and musicians affect people but they do not have a BIG influence in someone's life. Well, sorry for such a short reply by me, lol, well anyways, BYE!!!!!!!!

A Random Picture Post!

Well, I found this picture, on Jackie Chan's official blog, and he said that Justin Bieber was a fan of Jackie Chan. I was kinda surprised, actually.





This is my favorite car, the Bugatti Veyron!

I even spent a few months trying to paint it. But the result is terrible. The picture I took was with my computer webcam, so angles might be slightly off, but here it is:

Seriously, I promise I painted that. But its not that good. The only thing I like about it is the bridge and the trees. The car looks kinda...messed up. :P I didn't put in the sign with the arrows, because..I didn't feel like it. :P

The car is REALLY messed up. 

Well, anyways, thats about it, BYE!

Re: True Friends

This is a reply to a post from Teagan's Galaxy! =], and the post is obviously called, True Friends.
Everyone has friends, and everyone wants a true friend. I think True Friends are SUPER hard to find. I maybe have to use more than two hands to count all my friends, but it takes only one hand to count my TRUE friends.
If they are your true friends, does that mean you're their true friend? So what is a true friend?
(BTW , this is MY list, I created this list, this is not copied and pasted)

1. They care about you and decide what's best for YOU.
2. You can act like yourself with no worries. Sometimes I sometimes change my personality jjjuussstt a little when talking to someone who is NOT a true friend.
3. A true friend should help you even when you're not requesting, and should make little excuses when asking for something. And he/she might even give you gifts, and remember to wish you a happy birthday. (These are just small things, but yet important)
4. A true friend will support you even when everyone hates you. (Very true)
5. A true friend can talk to you for 10 hours. ;) jk lol
6. A true friend is someone you can trust 100% with no hesitation.

Here are some signs that I made that may show that he/she IS NOT a true friend.

1. They ignore you in public or when they are in another group of friends.
2. He/She talks behind your back, or hurts you, steals, or lies.
3. They never want to hang out with you or when you see them

Here are some ways to test your friend if they are your true friends.

1. Ask him of her to hang out, just you two, see if he/she accepts, if he/she does, then they are your true friends, and they like you, and not just someone from the group.
2. Ask your friend if they consider you to be a good friend. 

Don't forget that friends joke and kid once in a while! :)

Well, that's about it for now, I hope this post was a good reply to Teagan's and I hope it was different than hers.


Well, here's more! :D

Now I'm gonna tell you who some of of my TRUE friends are.

My true friends are Aaron, Ashley, Teagan, Dalan, and Devin.

Why?

Well Aaron always hangs out with me, I just met him this year, Devin and Dalan have been my friends for a few years, they're supportive, and caring, and Teagan and Ashley are true friends too, because they changed me a lot, and they talk to me a lot. All the friends I mentioned have helped me a lot.  I've also met Caleb and James this year.


Well, that's about it, bye!

What I Like About School:

Well, I'm going to write about what I like about school. I really like talking to my friends, and of course, without school, I would make any friends. Friends are really important to me well...obvious reasons. Another reason why I like school is the fact that I'm learning so that I can get a job. I think after you're done school, your life just started. What do you think? I really like Break and Lunch, obviously, and I like how at Lunch, you have a lot of freedom so that you can go wherever you want. This is a really short post. :(  I just felt like doing a really short post.

I like High School better than Elementary School. I'm sorry this post wasn't really formed in good sentences. Well anyways, bye!

The Spy Next Door

This is going to be a short post about The Spy Next Door, a movie I watched at Saturday - starring Jackie Chan, Amber Valletta, Billy Rae Cyrus, and George Lopez.

Jackie Chan is about to marry his girlfriend, but she leaves to visit her grandfather. Her kids hate Jackie Chan, so Jackie Chan decides to baby-sit them while his girlfriend is away so that the children will like them. This movie is similar to The Pacifier. One of the kids downloads a top secret code from Jackie's computer, and then the bad guys come chasing after them.



Well, anyways - this movie was a little bit funny at times. This movie was also kinda corny at times, especially the end.

The fighting scenes were better than I expected, he used a lot of props.

Overall this is a good movie and I give it 7/10.


But I liked Shinjuku Incident Better.




Anyways - 




BYE!!!!!!

Random Picture of the day: EDITED.

I just thought this was funny, and wanted it to share it. It's basically a picture of my facebook inbox, and how I have so many messages!

Actually, this post is for Caleb, because I wanted to show him how many inbox messages I have because we were talking about it.

Isn't that a lot?

Well, now I figured how to use the Print Src____Sys RQ, I learned how to take a better picture.


Wow Teagan is really filling up ALL my inbox!

LOOK AT THAT! Haha - maybe it's because Teagan and I talk a lot online. Teagan also has a blog, as I mentioned a million times, here it is - http://teagansgalaxy.blogspot.com/ MEMORIZE IT!

She writes better than me.


Well, anyways - bye!

All My Sicknesses :(

I'm not sure why I even made this post in general, but...Well, this post is going to be about my sicknesses.

Well I hope you don't get TOO grossed out, none of these sicknesses are my fault.

Well,
#1 - Eczema - Eczema is basically the inflammation of the skin. Basically like a rash. The pictures on the internet are pretty nasty. Eczema (well, not my type of eczema anyways) is NOT contagious. It's actually A LOT better now, when I was little it was SO BAD. There wasn't a patch of skin that there wasn't any eczema. Now it's all better. I have none on my arms and hands, well, now that I look at it I have a little bit on my hands, just a little bit.

I have no eczema anywhere else, but I get some in my stomach sometimes when I wear a belt. So that's why when I choose jeans, they have to be the size that fits me.

#2 - Toe Fungus - It IS contagious. But my socks and shoes protect that. And it's all gone now, so I guess it's not contagious anymore cause I don't have it! I had it maybe 3 years ago. Maybe 4.

#3 - Allergies - Peanut, Walnut, Pecans, - and I'm also allergic to Pollen. Which means I sneeze a lot. :(

#4 - My Migraines. Migraines are like headaches. I have something called an Abdominal Migraine. Which is a headache in your stomach, lol! It's basically both of them combined. Here - I'll get a headache, a headache that'll make everything spin really fast. And then I'll have a huge stomach ache, at my left side of my body. And while I have the stomach ache, keep in mind that I also have a headache then. So, in order to cure my headache, I have to throw up. So sometimes I force myself to throw up, lol. I use to have one every month. But now, I have a different type of Headache.

Grrr - I can't think of any more, and I can't just list 4. 44444 - 4 is my bad luck number!

#5 - Well, I have a lot of nose problems, I take pills and spray this thing up my nose. It's kinda stupid;.



WELL thats about it, bye!

Re: Find your self on Google

This is a reply to one of my posts to one of my best friends' blog - Teagan's Galaxy! =]

It is a reply to her latest post, (as of April 24, 2010) Find your self on Google.

Well, I searched myself up on Google, with my location, and I got many results, actually about me, the one and only, ME.

Here it is.

I also put some text in it, explaining each of the results, so be sure to look at the picture also :)

My blog is way to skinny for my picture to fit, and readable at the same time, so...

Click on the image, click it - right now. Click the image NOW. Well, if you don't want to, just click here.

Chinese

I am Chinese. But exactly, what is Chinese? When someone thinks of the word, Chinese, they think of Chinese people, or the Chinese language. But, there is no language called Chinese.

There are a lot of languages spoken in China
Cantonese, Mandarin, Hui, Jin, Hakka, and a few more. But each of those have a lot of dialects, just Cantonese has like 50, and Mandarin has WAY more.

I speak Cantonese - because my dad is from Hong Kong. Hong Kong people speak Cantonese. It's kinda like Quebec in Canada, lol.

And there is also one province in China that speaks Cantonese, which happens to be the same province that my mom was born! Which means they both speak Cantonese. My mom knows Mandarin too. My dad can speak it, but with an accent, apparently. I speak Cantonese, Dan speaks Mandarin. Unlike French and English, no matter what Chinese language you speak, they all use the same writing form, same grammar, same words.

We do not have an alphabet. We just memorize each word, which means there a thousand of words you have to MEMORIZE! I can say and understand Cantonese perfectly, but reading and writing...um...no comment, lol!


Cantonese is apparently harder to learn than Mandarin. Because we have many words that sound the same but mean different. It's all the tone and pitch.

Like ---Gum.

Gum means rich, gold, and mandarin oranges.

Guuum (like that pitch) means mandarin oranges)

Ggggum (more emphasize on the g part) means Gold.

Ggggumm (a little more emphasize on the m part)  If you get the tones wrong, they will have NO IDEA what you are saying.


Well, that's about it, BYE!

Am I Shy of Talkative? (CAUTION, OFF-TOPIC)

I'm not really sure, myself, but I think I'm.........shy.

Why? Well, because I am. Well, when I don't know someone, I am really shy. Really, really shy. Maybe it's because I'm Chinese, and I'm different. I really feel different being Chinese, like everyone is White or Indian, and I'm the only...Oriental - like only one Chinese, or only one that looks like a Chinese person, lol. That above statement was not meant to be racist. 
Which is why I'm shy, because I always feel I'm different. I remember once - in Woodworks - We were talking about Spongebob Piggy Banks, and I said that I've never watched a full episode of Spongebob before, everyone was laughing at me. It was probably the first week of school. Like, I watch Chinese TV More than English TV. I remembered one person were teasing me saying ,"What do you watch then, Treehouse...(?), or Care Bears?" And a lot of people were literally laughing out loud.That one person has been nicer to me ever since. Actually right now, I'm kinda friends with him. Ever since that incidence, I learned not to say that much. I'm talkative, (I think) when I'm talking to friends, but when it's actually the process of making friends, I'm shy. I can only be talkative to a classmate when its on Facebook Chat, which is how Teagan and I became friends. Do you think I'm shy or talkative? I think this post is really stupid, because I keep going off topic, lol. It's not even about me being shy.


I'm also shy when I'm talking to (let's say a friend) when someone that's not my friend listens, or a family member.

Are you shy?

Well, sorry for this super short post.


BYE! I'm going to do another post, hopefully.

The Subjects in School: My Best and My Worst

Math, English, Socials, Science...There are a lot of subjects in school. Some are harder than others, and some are easy. But for everyone, it is different. What is your favorite school subject? Your worst? Today, I'm going to write about my favorite subjects in school, as well as my worst.
There are a lot of subjects in school, so I'm only going to name a few: Science, Math, Social Studies, English,  ,Computer Courses, Gym, And The Electives.


First, I'm going to talk about Science.
Matter, Volume, The Human Body, Reflection, Refraction, The Kenetic Molecular Theory, Oceans, Extreme Environments, Geology, Forensics, What kind of science do you like best?
For me, I think I like the Matter, Mass, and Volume stuff most. Maybe because it is closely related to Math, my best and favorite subject, but I don't know why. I really measuring objects and weighing them with a scale. I think it is really fun. I also like learning about cells, viruses, and bacteria. I don't really like the Human Body, because it is really boring, how am I going to become a doctor when I grow up? I don't really like memorizing all about Arteries, Veins, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Capillaries , Liver, and all the hundreds of body parts. I think it is really hard, because all of them are really similar.
Let's see: Veins bring blood to the heart.
Arteries bring blood to the body.
The Atriums bring blood to the heart. (To the Ventricle)
The Ventricles bring blood from the heart.

And of course, it's not just the circulatory, there are a lot more systems, which means more body parts!

Geology, which is about Earth, crusts, continental crusts, and stuff like that don't really interest me, I don't know why. I find it really boring.

All the other science stuff I've mentioned are boring to me. How about you?

Next, I'm going to talk about math:
      3.1415926535897 (haha - thats pi) , Area, Perimeter, Circumference, Diameter, Radius, Fractions, GCF, LCM, Algebra, Integers, Place Value, Scientific Notation, Exponents, Percentage, Decimals, Ratios, Rates, Proportions, Polynomials, Expressions, Equations, Pythagorean Theorem, Constructions, Inequalities, Probability, Statistics, Graphs, Relations, Powers, Roots, Patterns, Linear Equations, Circles, Surface Area, Angles, Triangles, Parallel Lines, Coordinates, Transformations, Data Management, Two and Three Dimensional Figures, Operations With Money, Analysis of Data, Mixed Operations, Estimation, Scale Drawings...I could go on forever. I think it is obvious that Math is my best and favorite subject. :) My favorite type of Math is Fractions. I don't really know why though. But, I know as Math gets harder, it is more Geometry or Algebra type, and the last half of examples I gave above, which is like - Proportions, Polynomials, Expressions, Equations, Pythagorean Theorem, Constructions, Inequalities, Probability, Statistics, Graphs, Relations, Powers, Roots, Patterns, Linear Equations, Circles, Surface Area, Angles, Triangles, Parallel Lines, Coordinates, Transformations, Data Management, Two and Three Dimensional Figures, Operations With Money, Analysis of Data, Mixed Operations, Estimation, Scale Drawings, LOL! The type of Math is hate the most is Geometry or Integers. :P Integers, I always make mistakes. It is really hard. Geometry: I'm really bad at measuring. :P I also don't really like Algebra, because apparently, I always do the "difficult" way. :P

Next is Socials:
I dislike Socials. Well, I dislike History. I really have no interest about Ancient China, Middle Ages, Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Ancient Rome, or The Renaissance. NONE of it goes in my mind. I can memorize it, word by word, but if they change the order of words, I'm stuck. I find it really boring. I don't really care about History. I like Social Justice and Law better. Like learning about Poverty, Women Rights, Density, Population, etc - is waay easier for me. Well, that's about it for Socials.


English:
I really like English. Well, not really, lol. English is one of my better subjects, because it's really easy. I always memorize most of the rules, it's really easy for me. I like reading too, it really bugs me when people don't like reading. :| Whether it's novels or short stories, I like reading. Especially ones with a deeper meaning, like - The Bet?, maybe, or The Giver, Gathering Blue, and The Messenger. I also like mystery books, and scary books. I like Action-Packed books too, especially ones about a spy. lol I dislike Science Fiction and Fantasy. Which means I don't like Harry Potter.

Computer Courses:
I love computers! I'm on the computer right now! (Obviously) I really like computers, they are an amazing piece of technology! I like making games, and typing blogs, lol! I don't like making animation as much as Info Tech. There's not much to write about Computer Courses, I think this should have gone into the Electives spot.

Gym:
Gym is alright. BTW, I want to do gym again tomorrow, I don't really care about my broken pinky. lol
I like badminton, soccer, and running. But I find it hard when I have to run for a long period of time. I don't like basketball that much. Some things in gym make me embarrassed, mainly Basketball and Gymnastics.

Electives:
Electives are alright. I hate art though. I am not artistic AT ALL! I like MetalWorks and Woodworks, and the Computer Courses. Electronics is alright. But I dislike Mechanics. I don't understand ANY OF IT.

Well, sorry, for such a rushed ending, maybe I'll edit it tomorrow,


BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Free Rice!

This is a website I never learned until Teagan told me on her blog. This is a really short blog post, but I just wanted to show you a picture of me donating 100 grains of rice!

1000 Grains! I'm so proud of myself, lol! The questions are difficult! 

Anyways, that's about it, BYE!

Edit: The picture is too big for my blog, lol

My Locker

       I walk down the hallway, going pass the 100th Avenue, I keep walking until I see the Locker-400. It is a light blue colour. To my left and my right, I see familiar faces, and some people say "Hi" to me. I stare at my Silver and Black Dudley Combination Lock. I look around to see if anyone is watching. I quickly spin it to the right, and to the correct number, and then I spin it to the left, to my second name. Lastly, I spin it to the right to my last number. A click sound occurs and I pull the lock down and out of the hole. I open my locker. 

       Hi, today I'm going to talk about my locker at school! Unlike the really lucky people who have their lockers at the 400th avenue, (Thats YOU Teagan and Caleb) Mine only has one shelf. :( On the top shelf is sometimes my coat or hoodie, if necessary, But I always keep a lot of HB pencils there, because I have pencils for all classes that I have Closed Zipped Up Binders, such as English, Math, and French, but for Gym and Mechanics, where I have open binders with NO PLACE to put pencils, I just grab them in my top shelf, lol. There are a lot of random papers and MetalWorks projects in my top shelf, but other than that, thats about it. On the right hook, I hook my empty, black, backpack there, and and the really bottom of my locker is my binders. 

 

        I have my Math, English, French, Gym, and Mechanics binder. It is effortlessly piled there, and it makes my locker really messy. 

         Well, this post was an idea from Teagan, she wrote me some ideas on blog posts I should write, and I still have the piece of paper in my room, and one of them was ,"My Locker", so, I wrote about it. This post idea: I can't really write much about it, I tried my best on writing as much as I can, because I know I haven't done a long post for a while, but I guess this isn't one of them. But, you should check out Teagan's blog - http://teagansgalaxy.blogspot.com/ because she writes really good posts that are long and thoughtful. Check it out! Bye! 

           

My Broken Pinky

Well, it's not really broken, but my parents thought it was, well anyways, I'm going to start!
At Monday, we were playing Basketball (:P) for gym, and I am terrible at basketball. Every time I do a basketball drill, or play, I am always REALLY embarrassed, and I usually can't look at anyone in the eye, that's how terrible I am. I can shoot, but... Well, to tell you the truth I don't hate basketball, it's just that no one passes to me, because I'm never "open" and if they do, I always mess up. Well, its always the athletic people passing to the athletic people anyways. Well, it was a rare occasion that someone athletic passed to me, and as usual I messed up, because I never thought he would pass to me, so I wasn't ready, the Basketball came flying to my chest, but I was quick enough to block it with my hands just in time. But I wish I didn't do that. The Basketball flew to my pinky where my pinky bent backwards and I heard a sharp crack sound, then closing my eyes in pain I ran into Ahric's shoulder (I think, thats what he said) and my nose also made a crack sound, then a very violent and aggressive basketball player put me in a headlock. Not my day. No, I did not cry, in case you were wondering, lol. I couldn't even move my pinky now, and my pinky is never straight. So I told my mom and my mom told my paranoid (haha jk) dad and my mom drove me to the Walk-In Clinic where I waited for about an hour, just to hear the words - Get an X-Ray at the Hospital and buy a finger sling next door at Shoppers Drug Mart.

       And that's what I did - the finger sling, including tax, was $3.66. I ate at Sushi Hut - Yummy!
Then I went to the hospital - and waited for a little over an hour, and I got my X-Ray. Of course, while waiting in the Walk-In Clinic and the Hospital, I was listening to my iPod Touch. I got my X-Ray done and about an hour later I got my results - ligaments are torned and I don't need the finger sling thingy after all. No bones broken. My pinky is a light purple colour kinda blueish too. lol

Well, thats about it, I'll write more in tomorrow - BYE!

Re: Real or not real?

This is probably going to be super short, but in my opinion - Reality Shows are not real. Haha. This is a reply to (one of) my best friend's post - http://teagansgalaxy.blogspot.com/2010/04/real-or-not-real.html
I don't really watch "English" TV - and Chinese Tv has no reality shows - but I have watched a few. I remembered I watched ,"I Survived A Japanese Game Show" BOTH SEASONS, EVERY EPISODE! It was really good, but it was obvious to me that it was fake, some of the acting was just...terrible. I think Reality Shows should actually be REAL, since their called Reality Shows. lol Well, I told you this would be a very short post, because I almost never watch TV - BYE!

My Dog Experiences

Right now, we do not have a dog as a pet, I really like dogs. They're my favorite and only kinds of pets I like.

Well, our dog names are really weird. Well, I think I got my first dog when I was maybe 8? My mom named it Mimi. (haha) It was a girl. It was a golden retriever. I have watched it from when she was so sad and small, to when she was really happy and huge! The following pictures are from Google. Basically, I watched it when she was like  to   to . Yeah. But then...she was really naughty, she kept pooing and peeing all over the place.

So my parents sold her :(

I got really sad, but not even a year either, we got 2 female golden retrievers, again - they were siblings! We didn't know what to call them, so we called the happy one Bobo, and the really sad one Happy Face. haha - I came up with that name, because the collar she had was full of happy faces. But she never smiled. They were really cool. Bobo was really smart, I remembered once, we left for piano lessons, and we both both of them in a locked cage. Somehow Bobo unlocked it, and let Happy Face and himself out, and they started peeing and pooing EVERYWHERE. My mom got kinda mad...my mom never liked dogs, it was all my dad's choice, lol. My  mom said 2 dogs was too much, so we sold Happy Face to Total Pet or something. Bobo wasn't that happy. Bobo grew as the years passed, and he was so big and his paws would go to my forehead and start licking my hair! Then, we got a male Pomeranian.  thats how he looked like. He was named Cody, and soon after we put Bobo in the same place as Happy Face. Cody was my favourite dog, and 2 years after (which is also 2 years ago) we had to move houses, and my mom made a bad decision...to give him away to her best friend. A week later, he died. 


































      She (my mom's friend) fed him A BONE. Cody choked on it, and he never woke up.








                                                                






























                                                                                                   And that is the end of my dog experiences.

Texas Holdem Yesterday.

This is a not-so-funny story that happened yesterday. Well, yesterday at break, I sat down with Manraj and Caleb, and Manraj said," Let's play Texas Hold'em poker, right now!" cause Caleb had playing cards. I was like sure. But Manraj thought it would be boring without betting, so he said if he lost, he'll give me his cell-phone, and Caleb Poirier said the same. I don't have a cell-phone so I had nothing to bet. So they said, they'll think of something if I lost. Manraj was so confident and was bragging so much about how good he is at poker. I just wanted to prove him wrong, he was kinda annoying. Well, the cards were dealed, and I looked at my hand.
Two Jacks! I thought I was winning for sure. Well, the cards in the river were dealt, they were random cards, nothing even close to my J. And well, Caleb turned over his cards, he had nothing, but an high Ace. Manraj turned over his cards and revealed nothing. I turned over my cards revealing 2 J's. I had won! But then Manraj was like ,"Okay, so um... practice is over, let's start!" Lol - thats unfair. This post is probably really short. Well, anyways, the cards were dealt again. Manraj saw his cards and said ,"Yes, I'm winning for sure!" Caleb smiled when he looked at his cards. I looked at my cards. 3 of Spades, and a 5 of Spades. I cursed in my mind. Manraj and Caleb both said, All In for their cellphones. Panic swept over me. I could not lose, that would be really embarrassing, who knows what they'll do to me. What is my punishment if I lost? I wanted to Fold, but I knew they would laugh at me for saying I'm a ... so, I continued. The first card dealt in the River was K of Clubs. I cursed in my mind. The next card was 6 of Spades. Still nothing for me. I cursed and swore more in my mind. I dealt the next card - Ace of Clubs. Shoot. I'm screwed. I thought.The next card that turned over was 8 of Spades. Grrr, nothing, this is so embarrassing! I panicked. I saw Caleb and Manraj laughing, saying that they were going to win. The last card in the river was... I hope it's a 3 or a 5 , please! At least I could get a pair... I thought. The last card turned over. A huge disappointing fell when I looked at the last card.






10 of Spades.

Caleb flipped over his cards,  and Manraj flipped over his cards. They both had at least pairs. I flipped over my cards. Nothing. But then I noticed something, and a huge grin fell on my face.









Flush - 5 cards of the same suit. Spades. Five cards that were Spades. Flush! Yes! I won! I just won two cellphones! And then Manraj and Caleb folded at the last minute. Are they even allowed to do that? No!

Haha - but still they're just sore losers! lol

This really happened yesterday. I don't remember the exact cards in the River, but they were something like that, and I did get a flush. Anyways, Bye! I hope you like my short (non-fiction) story, that is true!

If I Could Have 2 Super Powers:

This post is going to be about 2 Super Powers I really want to have:
The first one would be reading someone's mind. Sometimes, I really want to read people's mind, but of course if people read my shocking, untold opinions, then I'm screwed. Well, haha, the reason why I want to read people's mind is so I won't spend so much time thinking about something. Like for example, sometimes I want to know what my mom, dad, sister, Devin, Caleb, Jeremy, Teagan, Dalan and all my other friends' mind. Or even just random people in my class, or maybe even people I hate, or people that hate me.  Would you think  that that would solve you a lot of thinking? But, of course, if someone could read my mind, I would be extremely depressed, I know its bad, and selfish, but I really want to read people's mind. Like, not always reading someone's mind, just whenever I want to. I think that is the one of the best super powers I can have. What do you think?

My #2 Super Power, and also the best super power is...Never Dying, and the ability to make people never dying, if they agree too, obviously. I don't know why, but the thought of dying always depressing me, and right now, now that I think about it, it is depressing me right now. lol Like when I die, then I'll never get to see my family, such as my parents, and my sister, and my friends, such as  Devin, Dalan, Jeremy, Caleb, Aaron, Teagan, Ashley, Jeff, Travis, and many more, and just...everyone I KNOW! 
I wish me, my family, and my friends, and everyone I know will NEVER die, but I know that's not going to happen :( maybe the scientists will invent something in 20 years... ?please? lol!


What 2 Super Powers Do You Want The Most?

5 Reasons how Twitter can improve..:

      Not everyone has Twitter, not everyone has Facebook, but I have them both. They are both social networking sites. Which one is better, Facebook or Twitter? I would obviously say...Facebook - Twitter can be better if...

1.) If you can actually "add" friends, like in Facebook. In Twitter, you have to "follow" them. That just sounds like stalking. And what sucks is that if you follow them, it doesn't mean they'll follow you back.

2.) The privacy settings for Facebook are waay better! Twitter - anyone can search you up and read all your "tweets!"

3.) Way to confusing! Why don't you just put in a "Comment" button like Facebook, instead, you have to go to the bar where you type in your tweet, (kinda like status in Facebook) and type @whoeverthepersonyouwannatalktosusernameis
then, you can comment. And that's call Retweeting something, lol! The Direct Messages are confusing too, because, its not like inbox - its kinda like replying back to a status.

4.) Put apps! It's boring just reading everyone tweets, and that's it. I want to play games! haha!

5.) They should put an online chat! So if someone is online, you can talk to them! :)

A Random Picture Post!

I realized that my posts recently, I have been slacking, they're not as good as they used to be, and this one won't be good either, so I plan on writing A LOT after THIS post.

This is a random picture blog -

This is my facebook page, as you can see, I'm talking to Caleb!

This is my favourite blog - Teagan's Galaxy! She writes way better than me...

Anyways, right now I'm eating instant noodles, thats what I always eat for dinner, cause I can't cook! lol - and neither can my sister.

Yummy!

LOL!

I'm done with pics, just wanted to do a picture blog, be prepared for hopefully a long post next! 

bye!

My Day, and I Have So Much Homework!!!!!

Well, first let me tell you how much homework I have :(

Well - Mechanics - I have a test, a Mechanics test - I'll probably spend 35 + minutes studying for it.

Math - Questions! :( It'll take me 15 minutes

English - All Summer In A Day - Plot Mountain! :( It'll take me like 40+ minutes to finish it -

So All together, the minimum time for me to finish all my homework is 90 minutes - which is one hour and thrity minutes!

Yeah - So, let me tell you about my day :

Well, I woke up, my eyes tired, and then I woke up ... Ten minutes later, I ate breakfast, 20 minutes later, (which was around 8:31) I left the house, and my mom drove me to John McInnis - and I arrived at 8:37, which at the school, it says 8:39 The bell rings at 8:41, so I had to hurry! Yep, I was late by let's see LESS than 20 seconds, I was touching the door, and then the bell rang :( But luckily, the teacher wasn't in the class, he was in the MetalWorks room talking to the metalworks teacher, I think, so he didn't see me, which means... I'M NOT LATE! lol - Mechanics wasn't that entertaining, lol - and I learned we have a TEST tomorrow about Engine parts and tools :( I'm gonna fail :( haha - maybe thats another reason why i see the glass as half empty - haha i get stressed by grades :(

Anyways, next was break - which I was at the library most of the time.

Next was Math - and I got 38/40 on that quiz :( I'm not very happy :( But I guess that's life, everyone makes mistakes, including me, but...
Anyways, we're starting algebra tomorrow - haha - I hope I do better in Algebra. I suck at integers - I really do, I've never got 100% on a quiz yet for integers.

Next was lunch, I didn't go to Superstore, cause I didn't feel like it, so I hanged around with Aaron Garfield and Caleb Poirier - Yep.

Next was English and we worked on our plot mountains. Not so fun, but at least I can socialize! :)

Last was French - the french teacher was not in a good mood today, but anyways, I got a cookie, cause we did this worksheet and the first one to finish gets a prize. I don't think I deserved it cause she didn't notice that I wrote Chase's name two times, and I think Teagan beat me, but oh well. Everyone was asking me to share their cookie with them, like people that aren't even my friends... I was going to share the cookie with my friend, but in the end, I thought...nah...no.mainly cause i didn't want people to see and go like,"Why do you give them a cookie and not me?" So yeah - That's it, ! BYE!

Re: Is The Glass Half Empty Or Half Full?

This is a reply to my friend's (Teagan) post - Is the glass half empty of half full?, and that post was from her blog - Teagan's Galaxy, which you can visit by http://teagansgalaxy.blogspot.com/

Well, anyways, at first, I got confused by the question, so I read her post twice, and then I got the idea. I also did the quiz - Is the Glass Half Empty or Half Full QUIZ, that Teagan recommended, and the result I got was Half Empty.

Cause every time I look back, I realized that I regret doing many things, because mainly I wasted 5 years of my life being friends with someone who didn't even like me AT ALL. And I have to admit, that I also did some mistakes. I agree with Teagan, that I remember the failures the most. I don't think EVERYONE have regrets, but I know I do, (and I guess Teagan does too). I know I could have done better if I went back 5 years, I know this is a really short post - but I just wanted to do a reply, lol!

What I Do On My Computer

Today, I am going to talk about what I do on the computer.

Well, this is pretty much all I do. Facebook - As you can see, there is 15 people online at my chat right now, and I'm talking to Caleb. Well, that part got cut off. :(

As you can see on my second tab, it is my school email, and I check my email, and its usually from Dalan or Teagan. My third tab is obviously, Blogger - and that is the website I am using to type this for you people to read! Blogger is really awesome! Next, I have a Twitter, I like Facebook better, personally. And last, I go on YouTube...to watch videos. (Songs, music videos, movie clips, funny homemade clips, other, etc.)

I minimized this on purpose, so that you can see how my computer is.

As you can see, I'm talking to Jeremy and Caleb.

Here is a picture of my programs -

LOL!

My Opera browser is hidden in My Documents.

Anyways, anyways, I don't really know what was the whole point of this post, maybe I just felt like posting pictures of my computer. But the pictures are nice, perfectly straight!

Anyways, BYE!


EDIT: Look at how many ppl I'm talking to!:

Some more weird foods to add to your list, and other random stuff.

These are some weird foods that I remember, or ate in Calgary.
1.) Toad Well, I ate a toad!!! Eeew - It tastes like fish and chicken.
2.) - Pig Ears - It actually tastes pretty yummy, I have to admit!

3.) I already mentioned this, but I ate pig blood again.

Well, that's about it for weird foods.

Today, I went on iTunes and I found out that the #1 album was called Slash - by Slash and I instantly remember Teagan's post about it - which you can read here -  

Surprising, because Teagan mentioned that he isn't well-known, but now look - #1!


And the #3 album on iTunes is My World 2.0   Surprising, again.


Anyways, right now for dinner, I'm eating Sushi Hut food - Beef Udon - Udon is these really thick white noodles.   (All pictures from Google Images)

Anyways, that's about it - BYE!

Oh wait - Congrats to me and Teagan - we beat our record Talking on Facebook Chat for 9 HOURS!

My Facebook Public Speech

My Facebook public speech really sucked, but I'm going to type it here anyways.


You open your computer, and click on the internet, and the first thing you type is www.facebook.com You can’t wait to log on and check out the News Feed, Inbox, and your notifications. A few hours later, you think of logging off of Facebook, but just that thought alone leaves you in cold sweat. You check your News Feed one last time… You are addicted to Facebook.
Good morning, fellow students and Mrs. Gilbert, Today I am going to talk about Facebook, and I am also going to focus on the addictiveness. Facebook is a social networking site owned by Facebook, Inc. Anyone over 13 with a valid e-mail address can add friends, join groups and fan pages, use the Facebook applications, chat with online friends, and send and receive notifications. Facebook is addicting because it is easy to use and the web page itself is simple. The second reason why is it is addicting is the News Feed. The News Feed shows you the latest updates and status updates from your Facebook friends. The News Feed makes Facebook addicting because it is constantly updating and showing new information. Because the News Feed is always updating, you want keep going on the home page to see new updates. For me, the first and last website I check is Facebook, because the News Feed is always updating. Thirdly, the Facebook Chat, Inbox, and other form of Facebook communication makes it addicting. Facebook is a great place for communication. You can communicate though your friend’s wall, inbox, Facebook Chat, or even some applications.    Facebook is also very easy to find old, (or long, lost) friends. Lastly, Facebook is addicting because you know people that are on Facebook, so you can learn what’s new with them because we all want to be connected with your friends.




Facebook is also a great place to turn normal classmates to friends, also because of the communication. Facebook is also accessible through the iPod Touch, and many mobile phones.
Studies show that people that go on Facebook daily may receive lower grades than people that don’t and this website will influence your studying time negatively.

To conclude, there are some clues that you are addicted to Facebook are when:

You lose sleep over Facebook. You stay up late at night going on Facebook and you’re tired the next night. The latest I’ve been on Facebook is 1:30 am talking to some people on Facebook chat. Going to Facebook late at night is more convenient when you have an iPod Touch (I do), or if you have a phone, because you have the urge to check out Facebook just one last time.
My second point is - If you spend over 1 hour on Facebook, you are addicted - My friend, Travis Trudeau, has been on Facebook without stopping for 7 hours talking to friends on Facebook Chat.  James Clyne has been on Facebook for 4 hours, and again, because of Facebook Chat. Dalan has also been on for a few ours. Teagan Parke has been on for 16 hours but with occasion breaks, and it’s about that same for me too - (14-16 hours ish)

Normally, you shouldn’t really spend over 30 minutes on Facebook, in my opinion, but obviously I, (like many others) am addicted to Facebook. Not everyone is addicted to Facebook - (Devin)

Thirdly - You ignore work (homework, studying, work, etc.) for Facebook - I know I do…sometimes.

And Lastly - The thought of logging off leaves you in cold sweat. - Try going a day without Facebook, and if that brings you a lot of stress or makes you unhappy, you are addicted to Facebook. For me, I know I can’t go a day without Facebook.

Anyways, thank you for listening, and let me end by saying that overall, Facebook is addicting mainly because human connection, and if you want to stop Facebook addiction, (which, you may think is a bad habit) , you have to admit that you have a problem and block it, don’t visit it, or don’t even open the computer. Again, thank you all for listening.

Haha- Well, I g2g from the computer right now so I really have to go!

BYE!

My Art Teacher:

I am NOT going to mention her name - but she is hm... almost 40, I think. I use to be very busy with my schedule - it used to be (Last year) - Monday-Piano   Tuesday-Art   Thursday-Speech Arts  
Friday-Piano Theory  Saturday-Basketball
Which meant the only day I could go on the computer was Wednesday. Well, me and my sister quitted Speech Arts, cause we were just too busy with homework and stuff, and basketball was over - and now piano theory is over, which meant I only had Piano and Art.

I think we quit Art around December - and it was very complicated. Well, me and my sister used to take Art lessons, we started like 2 years ago. We started with pastels, (soft, then oil) then pencil (there was so many types of pencils, there was like B, HB, F, and like 10 more kinds!) and then we did pencil crayon, and then we did paint. I only did two painting with paint - both with cars. But I never got to finish the second one. Well, our art teacher most of the time, pretended to be nice, but I knew she was actually mean. But my sister and my parents never believed me :( Well one day she told us to write two essays - one about what we think Art is, and one about my art teacher. This competition was for all of her students, everyone had to do it, and there was also a prize. But seriously, which teacher asks their students to write about herself? Like, WTH? Obviously, even if her students hates her, they're still going to write good thing about her, it's just common sense, so basically me and my sister B.S. the whole thing, making up random stories, lol, and I (not trying to brag) gotta feeling (haha, good song - just randomly bold that) that I was going to win, haha! And I did. But one thing - just like how people get lazy and miss volleyball practices, or like miss piano lessons, or sometimes people don't want to do their paper route, (lol - jk)  you know, people get lazy, so me and my sister missed a lesson - the lesson after we handed in our essays. But my sister and I always miss lessons, like we miss like twice a month, lol, and we always want to change our lesson time and stuff. But being lazy is just part of the reason why we missed our lesson, but she should realize that we have a life too, and sometimes me and my sister have homework. (I'm in grade 8, my sister's in grade 11), so that's why we missed so many lessons. Well, our art teacher got pissed off at us for missing a lesson so I didn't get the prize. Well, she told me I won, and then told me that I don't get a prize cause I always miss lessons and late, and stuff. Like, wow - that's kinda ...--- (I need to find the right word) thats kinda harsh, don't you think? So I wasn't that happy, (NO, I DIDN'T CRY, if you were wondering). And then she said, that's what you get if you miss lessons and if you're always late. (My sister was laughing...that I didn't get a prize) and she kinda threatened me. So like 2 days later, I told my mom, just randomly, I wasn't expecting her to do anything, but she got really mad and so my dad phoned (it was funny, cause he didn't want to phone - but my mom forced him, lol) and my dad made up that apparently I'm really sad and I can't go to Art Lessons anymore cause it'll be awkward, and my mom wants the $200 back - since we missed so many lessons. And so then my mom and my dad, and me, and my sister all came to her house to get our art supplies and the Art Teacher and my mom was arguing like MAD! They were yelling at each other. They were like insulting each other, calling them liars, and stupid, and demanding for our money back, it was awkward - it was really loud, and I had to "look" sad - but I kept on laughing...without anyone seeing, of course, and the argument got really loud, like the movies! And like I remember, my dad started talking, and then the art teacher budged in and interrupted him, and they were arguing, at who talks first, and then the art teacher was like ,"SHUT UP, LET ME TALK!" and my dad was like "FINE!" and my art teacher started talking about her fake code of conduct, and how she wouldn't give us the money back and other useless stuff, and like 20 minutes later, after she finally finished talking, my dad was like,"Are you done talking yet, can I talk now?"  And of course there were some random swearing. And the art teacher kept on saying ,"BELIEVE ME, I can sue you!" (Me and my sister mock her so many times, lol) And then like when we finally came home, the police phoned, and apparently she's suing us for disturbing her house or whatever, but she welcomed us when we got in, and the police were like,"They probably don't even know the Canada Rights!" LOL!

Well, that's about it so BYE!!!!!

My trip to Calgary

As you may know, I went to Calgary, which is why I haven't been posting for a long time, so I'm am attempting to tell you my trip to Calgary as much detail as possible. Well, let's see - I woke up at 8:00 AM - I remembered the night before, we were trying to get out of the house by 10:00 AM, Well, I woke up, and I saw someone on the computer, and it was my sister - so I kinda told her to get off MY computer, and I went on instead, I went on Facebook, etc. Well, my dad was still sleeping, and my mom was getting ready. Well, first I packed up, I packed my pajamas, toothbrush, toothpaste, clothes, socks, etc, and more, and I put it in 1 big bag. Then I ate breakfast, which I made oatmeal. And after that, it was almost 10 AM already, so I waited, and waited, and my dad woke up, and he packed some stuff. 15 minutes later, my sister, me, and my dad just sat at the living room watching tv, and (me) going on the iPod. My mom was not yet ready. And practically, we waited for 1 HOUR! for her to finish, and then she packed stuff, so we didn't leave the house until like 11:30 AM! I brought my iPod Touch as well. So we went to the car, and drove to Tim Hortons, where my dad got his coffee. (Extra Large Double Double) (Oh yeah, my dad is the one that's driving, with my mom at the front seat, me at the middle row seats on the right, and my sister on the middle seats at the left) Then my dad drove to downtown, and then towards Purden Skiing Place and just kept going East and Northeast ish, to Calgary. Well of course, we stopped at the last Prince George Gas Station to go to the washroom and stuff. I turned my iPod to shuffle, and listened to it for a while, (more like the whole trip) 300 songs should be enough, but I took occasional breaks. My sister had her iPod shuffle, and my mom was eating her vegetables, drinking milk and sesame paste, and fruit. My dad was driving around 100 mph, which is pretty slow, if you think about it. 2 hours later, we arrived at McBride, and we went to the washroom again, and then we had some conversations, with my family. McBride to Jasper was basically just trees from left to right, boring!  Then, about 3 hours later, we arrived at Jasper, where went to the washroom AGAIN. And then we went from Jasper to Banff which took like 2 hours. We stopped at the gas station in Banff, and we also went to a restaurant - a Korean restaurant called Seoul Country. It was REALLY busy - the restaurant was small, and it was crowded with...nope...not Korean people but...CHINESE PEOPLE. I'm not kidding, all I heard was Cantonese conversations! I was eavesdropping on the conversations, lol! As you know, I don't really like KOREAN food. It's really spicy! Especially the kimchi, which is super spicy, which is pickled Korean Sui Choy (Asian Napa Cabbage) It's suppose to be green, but it was RED. So, yeah it was really spicy. Well, it's just a side dish, so let me tell you what I ate, cause I recorded it down just for my blog followers :) Here, we went there at 7:00 pm just to let you know. Anyways, we ate Rice, Pancakes, and this Beef BBQ Wrap. Well, the rice was steamed, and it had these vegetables and beef. Well, that's what it said on the menu. It had barely any beef. Almost none. And it was tasteless. Even my family was kinda like Huh? I've been to this Korean Restaurant before, at my first time to Calgary, this is my 3rd time to Calgary. Well, we had the same rice before, and it was like that too, it had barely beef. But obviously, my family forgot about the cheap quantities, except me. I was the only one that didn't want to go. Well, anyways, my family was kinda disappointed by the little amount of beef. Like, really little. But because it was tasteless, I mixed it with some Kimchi, which I didn't know it was THAT spicy. So I regret it. Next I ate was the pancakes. (Oh wait, I forgot to mention that the food came about 10 minutes after we ordered, that's pretty good :)!) The pancakes, aren't the pancakes that you're probably thinking right now, they aren't sweet, they are salty - they are called Seafood Pancakes. It was a little bit too burnt. But, inside it had some of the pancake part, like the bread part (the part that was burnt), and the bread part wasn't sweet, and inside it had eggs, scallops, shrimp, and octopus. (Cooked) It was not bad. Pretty good. Next was the BBQ Beef Wrap - The beef was BBQ'ed right in front of us, well, my dad did it, cause the waiter left it there (that's not a bad thing, that's how the Korean Restaurant's do it, it's their Traditional style, I think) I ate some of the beef without the wrap part. Well, you're suppose to wrap it inside the uncooked lettuce, put some sweet & spicy sauce in it (yum) and then wrap it, and then put it over the fire BBQ thing for like 45 seconds, and I did on some, and it was actually pretty good, I have to admit! :) Well, the whole meal cost us 70 DOLLARS! Well, anyways, when we came out of the restaurant, it was already pretty dark out, and it took us like almost 3 hours to arrive at Calgary! (From Banff to Calgary - 3 hours) Well, I was happy when we arrived at Calgary - and right away we went to our Hotel. That's it. Our hotel was called Hotel Arts. I slept with my dad and my sister with my mom. Our hotel was pretty nice, it had 2 comfortable Queen-sized beds, pretty cool curtains, with a nice balcony with a nice view of Calgary, 32" wall-mounted Plasma TV, Italian bamboo tile bathroom with Spa Rain Shower, Aveda Bath Supplies, a desk, a phone, alarm clock, and internet access that didn't work :( I watched some TV before I slept, but I forgot what I watched, oh wait I think it was something about Ghosts, ...uggghh creepy...it freaked me out! I slept about 12:00 - MIDNIGHT and I woke up 10:00 the next morning, and we got out of the hotel around 11:30 (?) and we went straight to a restaurant - CHINESE DIM SUM!!!!!!!!!!!! :) It was called Tai Pan and it was in Chinatown. It was really busy and loud. The food there wasn't great compared to other restaurants. I had some Ha Gau (Shrimp Dumpling), Siu Mai (kinda like dumpling) -  , some rice crepes (thick rice noodles), and some Beef Tripe (Beef Stomach - don't get grossed out :() oh, and we had some Black Sesame Filling Buns, looks like this - (All pictures from internet) 


It was really good, but the black paste was waaayy more runnier than the picture above. It was so sweet, and bread was delicious! Well, I think the meal cost about $50. (For 4 of us) And then we went to a supermarket and spent like 1 hour there. It was called Tops 100. It was so boring, we bought some stuff. And then we decided to go to an ENGLISH, WESTERN mall. So we found one close by, called North Hill Center, which wasn't as I expected. It was like Pine Center Mall. Yep, pretty much, maybe worse.  The best store was Stitches :P and there was everything else that's in Pine Center, pretty much. So, my sister decided to go to Chinook Mall, which is waaaaay better - 15 minute drive from North Hill. It was huge, the mall - and it was kinda like Metrotown and West Edmonton Mall -  thats how it looks like.


Except even better and shinier than the above pic. Here - more like this - 


It's the largest mall in Calgary. I bought some clothes, and we spent 3 and 1/2 hours there! And when we left it was 6:30! Well, anyways, the restaurant was a Chinese restaurant again, but it was not dim sum. And my dad ordered this dish which had toad in it. Yep, a toad. It was deep fried with peppers and salt - and I was so grossed out. Really grossed out - but I ate a little bit just to try - still creeped out. It kinda tastes like fish and chicken combined - soft meat, like fish, but tastes like Chicken. And salty and spicy of course. And there was other stuff too, like this other Beef Wrap which was really good, there was...bubble tea, but I HATE bubble tea, especially the black things :P gross! Uhhh what else was there? Vegetables (with sauce, of course) GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I forgot what I ate! :(  Oh, and keep in mind that in every restaurant we went to, we drank Chinese tea - (Tit Koon Yum) Well, anyways, after we ate we went to the hotel and we went to the fitness center there and we exercised - treadmill, bicycle, etc. while watching Tv. And after that, in the hotel we watched a chinese movie - Yes - a Chinese movie on the Calgary TV called Tactical Unit - The Code. It was alright, and after taking a shower, etc - I went to sleep - after I finish watching the CSI - Crime Scene Investigation Episode. Haha lol! Well, anyways, the next day: I woke up at 10:00 AM again, but we didn't leave the hotel until like noon - 12:00 PM! We went to a Chinese Restaurant for Dim Sum again - and it was so busy! We waited for like 20 minutes (in line) for a table - but we kinda budged and my mom was like complaining to the waiters for the wait. My mom was like "When's our table? We waited for a long time!" 
Well, anyways, I feel sorry for an old Chinese couple I saw at the restaurant - they picked their food and stuff already - but I don't think the waiter passed it to the kitchen, so they waited for 1 hour - and still didn't get food. We sat down and ordered food, and we kept rushing the waiters. The old couple kept complaining to the waiters! They were like, "We waited for 1 hour, 1 HOUR!" We had food before them, cause even though we ordered, we just kinda got some food, cause waiters just come out with random food, and say ,"Who wants ________?" Etc, so yeah. After that, we went to Chinatown - actually we went to a mall in Chinatown called Dragon City Mall -  


, well actually I wanted to tell you something very weird about Chinatown - It is that, almost every single store you go to in Chinatown, there are always something pornographic, which is weird. Like what happened if a 7 years old went in? (Which did happened) Like, there was a gift shop - that sells, gifts, pens, pencils, newspapers, books, etc. But there was pens with pictures of people with no clothes, and there was also some "adult" magazines.  And even in a DVD store, or even a supermarket! 


Well - anyways, I did by some DVD's (NOT the adult ones) - They had Avatar already - did it already come out on DVD? Cause I bought it, and I'm not sure if its pirated or not... I'M SCARED... jk well anyways yeah.

My sister and my mom got a haircut in the mall, and me and my dad shopped for dvd's and food! cause there were no clothing in the mall. It took us like 3 hours! I really like going up the escalators! LOL!  For the food, we bought some snacks, and some drinks :) Then, we went to another mall, and my parents spent like 2 hours on T&T which is a chinese supermarket. After that, we ate dinner, which was a Vietnamese Restaurant, and we all ordered their tradition Vietnamese Noodles! :) And spring rolls for appetizer! Yummy! I ate very messy, and I think I might have ... (Teagan : don't read this:) I might have ate with my mouth opened! haha!

Well, anyways, after that, we went back to the hotel, and we went to the exercising place AGAIN. And then I went back to the hotel where I watched The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, and CSI (Again) And then I fell after I took a shower, etc, I fell asleep - and apparently I was snoring. :( >:(  Anyways, I woke up at 9:00 and I watched on Spike these Unsolved Mysteries, and it's so creepy, cause it was dark, the soundtrack was creepy! I'm still creeped out! :( Well, after I did my usual stuff, I left the hotel - and we went to the T&T Market AGAIN, and spent another 2 hours, and we spend another hour waiting for my mom and my sister to buy shoes. They bough 6 pairs of shoes! 3 pairs each! Oh yeah, the Japanese Tableware store was in the same mall as T&T, and that's where I got these mini cranes, that I hope Teagan will show in her new post for her blog which is - www.teagansgalaxy.blogspot.com Check it out! Anyways, my mom bargained, 4 pairs of shoes cost $120.00 And then we went to this place in Chinatown that sold Chinese Medicine, and we spent like $200 there! But my mom tried to bargain, she's really good at it, we saved $11. Not that much, I know, lol! And then we had to leave :( We drove to Banff again, to fill up the gas, and go to the washroom, then to Jasper, then to McBride and then to Prince George. If you're coming to Prince George at night, I have to admit there are a lot of lights from a distance, and it really looks like a huge city like Calgary or Vancouver, but when we go in Prince George, we're like oh. Haha- we arrived at Prince George at like ... 11:00 PM - and we were tired. Yep. I listened to my iPod too much I think, so my ear hurts right now :( . We had like 2 HUGE bags, and over 25 bags of food, dvds, and other stuff! Haha! Anyways, that;s about it, this post is long and I hope it wasn't too boring, BYE!!!!!!
