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.-Little Victories

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

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...

Two Way Monologue
Went downtown with Bowen today and finally got the gladiator sandals I wanted, yay! But I feel like I didn't spend enough money... should have gotten that evergreen v-neck from American Apparel, too. And that purse from H&M. We wasted too much time at Dutil. And even more time trying to find it. Huge sale, but kind of a disappointment... It's summer, who wants to wear raws in 35 degrees?
So glad school is finally done. My socials provincial went alright yesterday - I struggled a little with the government and law questions, but hopefully I made up for it with the essay section. Then went to Metro with Abby and Natasha.
Work tomorrow... I hate Playland I hate Playland I hate Playland. I hate Jumpshot.

My Hands Are Shaking
Happy belated birthday Daddy! <3
Yesterday I wrote my chemistry exam, which was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought it would be! It was just really really long... I don't think 2 hours was enough to really do spectacular on it, but thank God that's over. Socials on Friday, and I still haven't started studying for that.... goodness.
After my exam yesterday, I came home and played guitar till like.. 5ish, then Corinne came over and we watched the BEST. MOVIE. EVER. Across the Universe. Oh my God. I love the Beatles so much more than I already do after watching this. Definitely kicks Dirty Dancing 1982 off the top of my list. Especially because it's a musical too. (Cheesy, I know, but I love them) (you know you do too)
It was also my dad's birthday, and we had cake and some of my relatives came over and brought Buddy, their half-Pomeranian half-Something Else puppy which me and Corny played with. He had so much damn fur I wanted to give him a trim.
I had a pretty eventful day today compared to the rest of my week. DROVE to school to find Mrs. McChesney (no such luck), DROVE to Lougheed to find a pair of nice gladiator sandals (no such luck... although I did get a summer dress from AE for 20 bucks!), then DROVE home. I feel very accomplished.
Grass volleyball at Tupper afterwards. Didn't play so great today, but we didn't finish up with horrible results =] Lost our first game (which we shouldn't have... but it's okay since we were just warming up, right Will?) but then we carried on to beat the second 2 teams. Although we didn't win by as much as we should have. Oh well, blame it on the wind. I really hate playing when it's so hot and bright and sunny out... I can't see (no sunglasses because they fall off my face) and I get a huge headache and really tired really quick. I feel like I play better game in indoor, even though the grass net is super droopy. I should be killing the ball, but the wind really screws me up and my timing is kinda messy sometimes. Kristen, you own. Show me how?
Getting late and I'm pretty tired.
Peace out.

8 Days A Week
French over and done with. Forever. The exam was a lot easier than I thought it'd be, but there were a few questions that had me stumped. Why did we get so much passe compose vs. imparfait review sheets when that section of the final was only worth like 6 marks?
Chemistry tomorrow..... oh my God.
100 multiple choice........ oh my God.
20% of 3rd term............. oh my God.
I should get back to studying now.

You Belong With Me
Shopping downtown last block with Simone + Elysia! ...Didn't end up buying anything I was planning to buy, but I got a really cute off-the-shoulder top from Hollister. (I love Hollister) (I want to work there) (for the 40% discount and not the hot guys, of course)
Perfect for wearing to the beach! :)
with Elysia, Chloe, Abby

(don't think I was really ready for this picture... but I love it anyways)

California Dreaming
I need new summer clothes! But then again... we seem to be having a really late start to summer this year, so there's still quite a bit of time to go shopping =]
Silence & Noise Woven Cardigan
Ecote Leather Gladiator Sandal
Pretty summer dresses that caught my eye...
Now I just need to get out of the house so I can actually get these things.
17 days of school left, and everyone's in cruise control. It'll be a busy summer for me: math 12 summer school starting July 2nd (yay...), work at Playland games once again, grass volleyball with Steph, and grass volleyball with Will. And between all those things, I'll definitely need to make some time to hit the beach and get a tan.
Camping in Kelowna for a week in August also, so excited!

Better That We Break
Have been neglecting my blog lately; there's been quite a bit of stuff going on, and I'm too busy to make a real update at the moment. Also not going to make any empty promises on writing all about it any time soon, so I guess we'll just have to see!
Posted this out of guilt :P

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I can't believe school's started already, I couldn't get enough of spring break... although I didn't do too much anyway. I need my sleep...
I got my L (finally) last Wednesday, and it was a lot easier than I expected. I guess I got scared by all the stories I've heard on how tough it was, but at least it prepared me good and I didn't have to go again (or again, and again, hehe Jon) and waste 15 bucks each time. Thanks guys =] So yeah, I also went and drove around a parking lot a few times, and honestly driving is so much harder than I expected. The gas pedal and brake pedal are both so sensitive. Hopefully I'll be able to get someone to teach me =]
Also went to first sleepover with Corinne at her sister's apartment downtown. We spent most of the time killing ourselves in Little Big Planet on her PS3. And shopping - I bought a plain white v-neck - and swimming in the pool. Heheh, ROBBIE <3 I miss Milo.
Sick of school, and it's only the second day back. I have a huge chemistry booklet due tomorrow, and I really don't understand it so hopefully I'll get some help from my fellow mentors in tutorial... Socials project that was due yesterday that I totally forgot about but hopefully I can still get full marks for it since my teacher is great =] I really should sleep earlier also, I'm having so much trouble staying awake in my morning classes it's ridonkulous.

1 Thing 2 Do 3 Words 4 You
Snowboarding yesterday! It was so much fun, now that I can actually turn and go on harder runs and not get scared about wiping out and killing myself! Actually not really, I still get scared. This time we went up not one but 2 gondolas! And we also went to Whistler mountain instead of staying on Blackcomb all day. As for results, I now have a very sore neck and 2 bruised up knees. But it was all worth it =] I want to go again before season ends.
Went to Lougheed with Mommy today. Finally got the pointy toe flats that I've wanted for such a long time. I'm so happy =]

Yay!
Next I'm looking for a pair of Vans Authentics, forget the Chuck Taylors.
I must study for my socials (1st block) and chem (2nd block) tests tomorrow. On the bright side, at least I have block G free tomorrow. No mentorship! =]

A Little Too Not Over You
Long time no post, hehe. Nothing new lately... I've been quite busy with volleyball. Thi decided our whole team had too much "attitude" and we weren't being serious enough, and also we came 13th/24 so he's planning on having 3 practices a week.. Not to mention the weekend tournaments. So yeah, pretty much my life for the next few months.
Why are you so difficult to read? I don't know what you're trying to tell me, IF you're trying to tell me anything at all... What do you get out of "helping" me, anyways? How do I answer your questions when I don't want to give anything away?
I love it when it's sunny outside =]

One Man Wrecking Machine
I must say, I had a pretty good weekend. On Saturday I had the volleyball playday (can't really call it a tournament since there were only 3 other teams besides mine that were there) at McNair in Richmond. It went pretty good for a first tourney I suppose, but there are tons of things that I have to work on... passing, for example. My main problem. I was pretty decent at it last club and school season, but somehow I don't seem to be really too great at it anymore... Maybe it's just my team. Everyone on Apex is crazy at passing and digging. Which makes sense, since Apex is the one of the shortest teams out there and we're all Asian. And plus I play power, and passing/digging is our main job. Screw my goofy approach, I need to work on passing or I won't get any playing time :( I should start trying harder at practice. I should also try going to ALL the practices... but this Wednesday the fashion show is at the exact same time as practice is. Blah. Maybe I'll go since we have a Super Series on the 14th and that's pretty important... but then there's the Friday practice. So I'll be good. I think.
Sunday was the snow club trip! It was so much fun, I finally learned how to do S-turns. Okay so the day started out like this. Arrived at Whistler at about 8 in the morning, and me and Anthony decided to try out Beginners since we were both afraid we forgot everything. The instructor (an Asian Australian named Lincoln) took us on the tiny tiny slope that's not even the bunny hill and we reviewed on heel edge (I fell a few times doing that), and once we all got the hang of it we went down the bunny hill. Then we learned toe edge on the tiny slope. I was horrible at this - I fell backwards down the hill and pulled a muscle in my neck. It still hurts :( But then we got the hang of that too, and after lunch we learned how to carve and did a few runs down the bunny hill :) So yeah I'm really happy and excited to go again because now I can actually say I can snowboard! Hehe. Only 19 days away till the next trip!
Anyways. Today was a pretty good day. Did a new section in chem, had a socials test on 3 chapters that I didn't exactly study for since I forgot my textbook at school... but I found it pretty easy anyway. Then french crossgrades after lunch that I didn't prepare for either, but I got lucky and didn't get picked so I'm going on Wednesday. Mentorship was boring as always, so boring in fact that me and Simone decided to try and remember our class schedules of grade 8, 9, and 10. It was hard but we did it :P
Weeee a super long post!

Hello Beautiful
Gah. Here's a run-down of my plans this weekend: Friday, volleyball practice. Saturday, an all-day tournament in Richmond. Sunday, the Whistler snowboarding trip. And practice again on Monday. You know what this means: no sleeping in! Hopefully I'll make it out alive...
Anyways. So I've been having a pretty good week so far, quite a pleasant contrast to the past few weeks or so. Maybe you're right Emily, it's not the things that are happening around me, but my mind set. Or maybe because I found out I'm doing a lot better in a lot of my classes than I was last term. Either way.
I really should be working on my chart on Jacobean Poetry but somehow I find myself making a post...
**Look at it this way, sweetie: karma's a bitch - what goes around comes around

Do You Remember
Long weekend (again)! So we had the math midterm on Thursday. I think that went pretty well for me, the exam wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be... and I skipped practice the night before to study too. Also, knowing myself - no matter how easy the midterm was - I definitely made tons of minor mistakes that will result in lots of half marks taken off. At least I wasn't completely stumped :)
Went to Metro with Corinne yesterday and tried on dresses at BCBG. I found this eggshell white bubble dress with a black cinch around the waist, and I thought it was really cute and it looked pretty good on me, but it was strapless and those don't really work so well for me...hahaha. I'd be tugging it up all night. Also it's $360. Then after that me and Corny met up with Anthony and Bowen and just walked around and did nothing really, since we were all planning to go downtown but with the tight schedule and shitty weather decided against it.
Had volleyball after, and I am proud to say I am starting to sort of get the hang of NOT being goofy footed! Yay Jen! Although now Kent and Will keep bothering me about my arm swing. Which I really do need to work on anyway. But one thing at a time, sheesh. It's already hard enough to switch from right-left-right to left-right-left... but I suppose the sooner I start working on adjusting my steps and my arm swing the easier it'd be for me.
Today Corinne came over and we spent the whole day chilling and watching shit on Youtube - ah, Youtube - and America's Best Dance Crew on TV. Heheh, I'm glad someone appreciates my boringness.
Mmm well. I find that I never really have anything to say unless I'm whining about something or the other.

Gives You Hell
Alright, as suspected by some of you, a few things have been bothering me lately and I guess this is as good time as any to lay it all out there.
How do you know who you can trust? And the inevitable question that aggravates (almost) everyone throughout high school... how do you know who your real friends are? A silly question. I mean, of course I know who my friends are... right? Or not. I've spent the past year feeling hurt and let down when I realize that a friend is not all they're spelt out to be. When what you see isn't what you get. When you are told one thing and it means something else entirely. When you put all your trust and faith in someone and it all goes to waste. The golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." But... what's the point when you receive nothing in return? When you're betrayed by people you think you can trust, you think you can depend on, time and time again? When someone is my friend, I do whatever I can to make sure they're happy. How do I know I'll receive the same in return? I care too much. I expect too much out of people, and it hurts. I don't lie, save the occasional "you look nice" shit when you actually don't. There's no front. What you see, you get. So why would anyone do it to me? How could anyone do it to me? So much for karma...
Sorry for the rant, but there's the tiny glimpse into the huge mess that I've conjured up with my overanalyzing, overthinking brain. I'm a foolish girl with mental issues.

Take It Or Leave It
I just came back from volleyball practice. Either I'm still recovering from my sickness so I'm kinda sucky, or I actually have like TONS AND TONS to work on. Maybe it's both. Whatever it is, I SUCK. Oh my goodness not even funny. I can't dig OR hit, and it's on a lower net too. What is wrong with me?!?!
On a brighter note... there's no school on Friday! And barely any classes next week because of midterm exams. Too bad I don't have any friends to hang out with during all that spare time. I guess I'll study :)

Look What You've Done
Sorry for not making any posts lately... I haven't been feeling up to it. It's been a really busy week with tests to study for, projects due, and homework to catch up on since I've missed quite a few classes from staying home sick. Right... did I mention that with my luck I have somehow acquired pneumonia? I've had fevers up to 105º since Monday, and coughing up a storm (and blood). But anyways, I'm on antibiotics now and will be for 7-10 days. Then back to the doctor's office and she'll tell me where to go from there. So I should be fine. :) Meanwhile, I am eating a delicious unhealthy dinner of chicken pot pie. I just checked the nutrition label and it has about 38 grams of fat and 1100 mg of salt in each serving..... Oh God.

When Did Your Heart Go Missing
Volleyball went alright last night - I wasn't as rusty as I thought I'd be, but there is still a lot I need to work on. So for Apex they play in a different rotation... instead of playing 6-2 like I've done since grade 9, we're now playing a new rotation where the leftside hitter/power (me) is playing 6 back (not sure what the term for this is). So everyone who's actually seen me play volleyball knows that reading shoulders and digging aren't exactly my strengths on the court. Hopefully I'll improve during the season... Oh. And supposedly my team might not go to Vegas anymore, because of financial reasons. Oh well.
Went snowboarding for the first time on Whistler/Blackcomb today. Me and Anthony (who is a second time snowboarder) tried to get away with being in the Novice group, and the first thing our instructor had us do was to board down the bunny hill. And I had no idea how to do anything, and wiped out at least 20 times on the hill. You have no idea how bad my knees and my ass hurt right now. Anyways, after that horrible run down the hill I asked to be put in Beginners, which was a lot more fun since I wasn't wiping out the whole time, only half the time. Then I learned how to do the sideslip thing, but better on heelside than toeside. I can't wait to go again :) Feb 8th!
Also today my dad also finally got the new 55 inch TV he ordered on Boxing Day to go with his new sound system. It's practically bigger than me...

For The Longest Time
Ugh... school's been keeping me busy. Tons of homework and projects due already. And my brain appears to be on winter break still, so everything I'm learning seems so much harder to understand. Or maybe it's just me.
Anyways... things have been alright lately. I can't complain. Volleyball starts tomorrow, finally. I haven't played in too long. Then snowboarding on Saturday, 5:00 AM wake-up. Hopefully it's as easy to catch on as skiing. I'm excited and scared at the same time.
Gah. I have nothing left to say.

Hard To Explain
First day back at school today. I woke up feeling really sad when I realized I had six hours of it ahead of me. I had Socials in the morning with Traf, and there were only about 10 of us in class for the first half hour of class. Stupid snow. Then I had Chem and we took some notes on molarity, which isn't too difficult to understand. After that we did review on moles. I fell asleep. Mentorship was dull as always, thank God he wasn't there. Talk about clingy. I really don't mesh well with persistent guys. In French we wrote an essay about our winter break. I guess it wasn't that bad for the first day of school. Although I'd much rather have been at home sleeping.
Anyways, so I just finished watching Twilight. The plot moved way too fast, which is understandable, since fitting a 600 page novel into 2 hours of film is hard enough as it is. The novel was a lot more detailed - I feel like I wouldn't have really understood the story if I haven't read the novel. Also, I have to admit, in spite of my previous opinion of how gay he looks, Robert Pattinson (Edward) is actually pretty good-looking. Maybe not in pictures, but in the movie and in stillshots.... whew. Kristen Stewart (Bella), I must say, is a bit too pretty for what I imagined Bella would look like. And Jacob wasn't hot at all. Abby you're crazy. Plus he has long hair. Their acting was horrible. Definitely not worth your 12 bucks to see in theatres.
I leave you with this:
"Hey, Anthony! It smells like updog in here."
"What?"
"It smells like updog."
"What the hell's up dog?"
"Not much."
I just thought I'd give you a shout since you definitely made my day. Thanks.

I've Always Thought Of You
Ugh... when is it going to stop snowing?? I thought we were done after that big one last week but NO, I woke up this morning to find the world a winter wonderland once again. And school on Monday too. Actually maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing, since all I've been doing is staying home and eating. First volleyball practice on Friday and snowboarding on Saturday to look forward to, though.
Anyways. This morning I woke up at 10:30 to the pleasant guitar riffs of my dad's new sound system. What a discreet attempt to get me waking up earlier. Then I went out for lunch with my family at a dim sum restaurant across from Dolphin Theatres. Came home around 2... learned how to play Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. I didn't realize how difficult it was to sing and play guitar at the same time. The song is easy to sing, and the chords are easy to play, but when you put the two together... Oh well, practice makes perfect. At least I can say I learned how to play the guitar when people ask what I did all break.
Headed out for shopping at Metro around 5:30 with Kim, Steph, Fi, and Natasha and then dinner with the rest of the team. We walked into a few shops, then found out none of us had money or were willing to spend it. So we went and chilled in the food court for the next 2 hours. Dinner was at Taisho Japanese Restaurant, and after a heated discussion with the bitchy waitress we convinced her to give us the 8:30 all you can eat special. But then we found out that because of the shitty weather, they were closing at 9:30 and the last orders would be at 9. So, like the hungry and greedy teenagers that we are, we panicked and ordered as much as we could. Much, much more than we could have eaten. And then, like the stupid and sneaky teenagers that we are, we hid the extra food in our purses and went and dumped it in the bathroom.
Also found out that I'm heading to Las Vegas with the team in July for a 5 day tournament! YAY :)

Happy New Year
'08 was definitely not one of the best years of my life... I am so glad it's over. But 2009? I don't know if I'm really that excited for it. Who knows what what I have in store.
NYE was alright... okay, it was pretty bunk. It didn't feel like NYE at all - I wish everyone could have celebrated it together, but after the dinner at Red Robin, we all just split into two different groups. Then we went back to Keith's house, and divided into another 3 groups. So I ended up going home out of boredom at like, 10:45. So much for partying like a rockstar. Not that it's really my scene anyway.
I have a New Years dinner to go to tonight at my cousin's house in Maple Ridge. Woop-dee-do.
Happy New Year, everyone.
