Meet Me Halfway

Life is too short to be afraid of ruining a friendship - especially if there’s a chance you could be more to one another. Friendships are as fluid as romances; they can end as suddenly as they can begin. In many ways, they’re overrated. You know what’s not overrated? Love. It’s awesome.

Wedding Dress

Haven't been back in so long. I've been pretty busy with volleyball and school. First day of lower mainlands today, and we pretty much choked and lost to Argyle and McRoberts in 2 straight sets, under 20. Although that comes as no surprise. But still! I wish we were a better team. =[

I should get back to studying now, chemistry and english test tomorrow FML.

PDA (We Just Don't Care)

School season is under way :) Our first tournament... sucked so bad I don't even want to talk about it. We lost every single game. But on the bright side, we won our first league game against New West yesterday! Although that's not much to be proud of, those girls hardly play volleyball. On Wednesday we'll be playing a home game against Moscrop (come out and watch) and in 8 days we will be going to Nanaimo for a tourney =D =D =D

Besides volleyball, I haven't exactly been doing much. Except homework. I have so much to do every single day =[ Tomorrow though, me and Corinne are going shopping downtown and we gotta make a T-shirt design for our team. Pretty excited for that, I feel like I haven't gone out in forever.

Hold On

So, today was the first day of school. It wasn't too bad, I guess you would get used to it after 4 years in a row. Really need to go see the counsellor though... I'm not enrolled in Math and I have 2 English classes. I'm pretty happy with the rest of my classes though, it'll be pretty cool to be with friends =] ...even though I'm going to have to bust my ass this term to keep good grades.

In a lot of ways I'm pretty depressed that school is starting again. I feel like I haven't had enough time to enjoy summer [summer school wasted 4 weeks... Playland wasted 2, and I don't even know what I did with the rest of my time] and now I'm going to be smothered by homework and projects and tests. But, on a more positive note, we're graduating this year and hopefully it'll be fun!

Her Diamonds

Whew, just finished work. Today is the first day of Fair so it's busy as heck and my legs kinda hurt =[ and I'm only relief [which means I give the people at Skatterball/Pool/Pop-Gun breaks]... 2 more weeks of insanity [and summer break]!

It's been pretty busy for me lately, and I've been neglecting my blog again...

Corinne came with my family to the Okanagan for a week or so, and Jaimie and her family came up too. We didn't do so much there; I expected it to be so much hotter than it was, and rather it was kinda sunny with a bunch of clouds [still got pretty dark though, not that I need to be any tanner -.-]. Penticton channel was fun. We did that twice and the second time down the river was only me and Corinne, since everyone else was too sunburnt to come. It was really nice and warm and relaxing at first cuz the sun was out and it was so nice and then 10 minutes down the stream the clouds blew in and freakin the WIND was killing me. I caught a nasty cold from that. Went home on the 14th feeling super tired and dizzy [I thought it was from the trip home].

The next day I was sick as hell. I'm sure you guys wouldn't want me to go into details so I won't =]

Then the next day I got better! And went out with my mom downtown to buy my dress for Artona [and possibly the Winter Gala too if I don't find anything else I like]. It's a simple strapless dress; black on the top, and red and dark purple patterns at the bottom. When I first saw it on the rack inside BCBG, it really didn't appeal to me but with my mom's constant nagging I tried it on. And guess what, I liked it. It fit me wonderfully, and cinched at the waist at the perfect spot. Originally it has a straight neckline, but I think I will have my mom alter it and make it a sweetheart neckline =] Now for shoes..

On Monday, I had grass vball with Steph. We came in 2nd in our pool and will be moving up a pool for our playoffs tomorrow. Hopefully we will do well!

On Tuesday I went rock climbing with Bowen, Elysia, Keith, and Norman. We went to Cliffhanger in Coquitlam. I love rock climbing, but I am so weak that I get tired by the time I've climbed 3 walls. Maybe it was cuz I was still a little sick and with a major headache, but I'm not going to make any excuses =P

I had grass vball playoffs with Will on Wednesday. We came in 2nd when we should have been first and our loss in the last game was my fault =[ It is painful to think about. And my arms + shoulders were still in pain from rock-climbing. That wasn't really a great idea...

On Thursday I met Corinne's beaaautiful new puppy, Mika the wire-haired Dachshund/Chihuahua/Boston Terrier/English Pitbull. I LOVE HER. [Sorry Milo, still love you to bits!] I can honestly say that she is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. She was so cute that I decided that one day soon I am going to go out and buy a puppy and come home and hope that my parents won't make me give it back.

I went to see District 9 yesterday and it was really gory... I didn't think it was that a bad movie since it was kind of interesting, but it was so disgusting I had to look away at a lot of parts.

Tomorrow, I have a vball4cash tournament with Will at Confed Park. Hopefully I can redeem myself after that horrible game on Wednesday =]

I Am The Walrus

Back from my hectic week, missed me? =]

→ The carwash went really good, we raised over 400 dollars! A great start to our year, good job everyone. Bowen, that bruise you gave me by whipping me with the shammy is still there. Thanks.

→ The wedding was also pretty fun; but it was in the middle of nowhere (well, lots of fields) in Pitt Meadows. I spent the whole time playing Stella Ella Ola and Thumb War with my niece and nephew -.-

→ Corinne came over in the morning and we watched Mamma Mia (not really as good a movie as my parents said it was, so cheesy and happy I almost wanted to throw up. Sorry.) and then after lunch we headed over downtown to Colleen's condo. Me and Milo had our usual happy reunion which ended up with him peeing himself in his excitement (as always). Headed to Cookworks with Colleen where she spent more than an hour looking for stuff... and spent over 2 grand. On COOKING SUPPLIES.

→ Monday morning I was awakened at 9 AM (after going to bed at 4 AM... PS3 and watching 17 Again) (Zac Efron!) (can't blame us) by Milo jumping on the bed and licking my face. We couldn't really go out, the maintenance guy was coming over to fix the dishwasher, and Cookworks was coming to deliver the shitload of stuff Colleen bought. Then I had volleyball at 6 and me and Steph got our ass kicked =] Back to the lowest pool, this time it IS our fault HAHA. Went to Wal-Mart after with Colleen, then to Corinne's house where they were moving some files on her computer... finally went back downtown around 12:30. I was dead tired, but me and Corinne went down to the pool. PS3 again after, and then Confessions of a Shopaholic, except this time we both fell asleep in the middle of it =P

→ Tuesday we woke up late again (well Corinne did) (I was up at 9 again, thanks to the dog), went to walk Milo, then headed to Steamrollers for lunch. I bought a peppermint facemask from Lush, and a tank top from Urban Outfitters. We went out for dinner at the Italian Kitchen that evening, and I thought it was a really nice place. There was really good service and the food was good too. Took Milo to the doggy park after, then they dropped me off at home.

→ Canada Day! Hehe vballs was fun, yeah?

→ Summer school wasn't too bad at all, the stuff is a little confusing but I've never been so great with graphing anyway. In a class with Corinne, Siena, Abby and Elysia - it's gonna be gooood =]

So, if I haven't entirely bored you to tears with that big-ass update, I'll proceed to tell you about what I've been up to the past few days!

→ On Thursday after summer school, I went to a bbq at my cousin's house. It was pretty fun, I played 4 man pepper the whole time with my cousin's fiance and my niece and nephew.

→ And then we went to the night market on Friday, where my dad was in a bitchass mood (again). The food was really good! The stuff they were selling... not so much. =P

What a post. If you actually read through all this, I'll give you a prize.

Bret, You've Got It Going On

Report cards today. Didn't do so hot, parents aren't too pleased... but I'll make up for it in Grade 12, promise! (that's what I say every year, but really next year I'll try harder!) (yeah right, with all those science courses I'll definitely do SO much better...). Corinne came over afterwards and we watched Mamma Mia (so cheesy. Not so great of a movie) and then streamed Flight of the Conchords on the internet. LOVE them. Then we went to Keith's house... Twister was fun :) Pizza = tres yummy. Everything else... not so much. Kinda glad me and Corinne left early from what I heard happened afterward.

Volleyball was cancelled yesterday due to the rain that turned into sunshine, but I had fun nonetheless ;) Though definitely looking forward to Monday so I get to play again. Steph, we really gotta step up our game this week!

Plans this week:
Tomorrow -- working at Big Bang 12-8
Saturday -- Grad Council Carwash 10-3, Gary/Kathleen's wedding 5:30
Sunday -- moving into Corinne's sister apartment
Monday -- still with Corinne, volleyball with Steph 6-9
Tuesday -- hanging with Corinne still?
Wednesday -- volleyball with Will 6-9
Thursday -- first day of summer school, noooo :'(

Busy busy busy...
