The Qingdao China trip

yay, so I`m going to vacation, so I should be excited and happy right?? Urgghh... we have to fill out some application forms and stuffs, but that`s not the big deal! I saw they also sent the email to some other people who I don`t want to mention! Don`t even want to think about them!! They piss me off greatly and I know I shouldn`t let them affect me, right? Just thinking about some people make me feel sick.. back stabbers, betrayers, fake people... all of a sudden I wish I never wanted to go to this trip... but it`s too late.. I feel sick to my stomach... :( man.. .. oh right, this is the last week of school! Yay! Exams start next week = = ;`( i hope I get at least A  ! ! !

Awards Ceremony, Carnival for Cure, etc!!

Hihihihi!!! :D Sorry for not blogging for SUCH a long time!! I'm so guilty and now I have a whole BUNCH of stuff to tell you about!!! >"< i regret!! so much! So anyway, what happen... first was Awards Ceremony! It was really awesome!! I was so glad I went!! :D :) ^^ It wasn't so bad! All we did when we got on the stage was just shake hands with 2 teachers and that was it! No stage fright, no nothin' man! i bet my grandma and Mom and everyone else was disappointed though that that was the only thing that happened... after that we got our certificates and a dogtag! :P i should take a pic. of the dogtag for you guys another time! I forgot. xD Anyway, I got Honours!! Could've gotten Honours with Distinction though if I were smarter... aw.. oh well! I'm still a little proud of myself! ^^Anyway, we had some little refreshments and stuffs and I took home 2 vases.. o_O loool!! ahhaaha, free stuff! asiaaan alert! x) I also found out that one of my Hong Kong friends' Aunt was my lil bro's chinese teacher!! ZOMG. hahahah! Anyway, here are some pics of the Awards Ceremony! Took so less!

 Me and 3 other friends at the small gym for food~

At the large gym! :)

Really fun! I was so glad I went and I'll go for the years to come too!!

   Next day was Carnival for Cure! Awesome since we could get 2 hours of Lunch and miss class times too!! It was also really fun!! I bought popcorn from the popcorn sale, volunteered to help at the Ice Cream Sale (2nd shift but kinda ditched near end xD), got free food from barbeque (hot dog, orange soda pop, ketchup lays chips)! Also watched some eXCITING events such as the Dunk Tank with the teachers and the Pie Throwing at the teachers!! Really fun and awesome! Raised a LOT of money for Cure of Cancer!! I really hope it would help!!!! ^-^
Today me and my brother went to the Downtown library since he had tutoring and I did some studying on Math. Ughh! Finals!! Stressing me out!! I procrastinated a little and played on this computer.. kids' section.. I'm so bad...only for 12 years and under.. haah

Terrible! anyway, went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner and bought boots! :) ^^ I like! High heels included mang! xDD

So.. by the way for english we had to read a poem: "The Other Me" by Ray Bradbury. My visual illustration:

It is about the "facade" (meaning: imposing or appearance) has a talent of writing poems, but he feels that he is not actually writing, instead, he feels he is taking the credit from his talent side (the phantom)! It's a pretty good poem when you understand it... by Ray Bradbury who died a few days ago on the age of 91 or was it 81 I think. R.I.P. to him! I love his stories! Including "The Veldt" and "Fahrenheit 451" (actually I didn't read Fahrenheit 451 yet.. I will soon because lots of people say it's good...)
Well talk to you later! Thunder and lightning is going on!! Going to sleep soon!! ^_^Bye!

Stress

Stress... it's a topic everyone probably would go like "ugh!" when they hear it! Why? What is stress? Well, it's simply when you are undergoing pressure... everything coming all at once and you have to finish everything to the best of your ability before a deadline. Sorry, that's my definition and I know it's not the best.. but just a little something out there. Why do people dislike it? Well because in a limited of time you have to complete lots of stuff OR stress could be about just one BIG thing, pissing you off! Ugh! For me right now... I have finals coming up and a piano exam, etc., etc.!
- I feel for this poor guy
Anyway, what's good or bad about stress? Huh? You ask me? Well.... stress is important in our everyday lives! Though too much or too little isn't really a good thing. If you are undergoing a lot of stress, then you might damage yourself physically, socially, and psychologically. Example, getting less sleep, eating less, (leads to an unhealthy body), plus you could won't have as much energy, which is extremely important! People might also become super moody and unhappy all the time, and hey, why would you want to live such a sad life? If you have a lot of stress, try and slow down, take a deep breath sometimes and just relax.. like go outside for a nice brisk walk, enjoy the sun, or maybe pour yourself a cup of water and read some magazines or books! OR watch dramas or listen to some music! Also, try and deal with everything one at a time instead of a whole chunk of stuff all at once!
        Okay, now you heard about all this you might go like, "YEAH, stress is totally NOT cool!" but stress is also needed in life too! It's what makes you grow, learn, and become a better person too! You don't want to live a life where you just simply sleep, play, and eat at home daily do you? That's not a perfect life.. in fact, there are no perfect life! And that's what makes it so perfect... er, unique! I gotta say, some stress is good for you! It makes you function, work and after you finish it you just go "whew!" and it's time for CELEBRATION!! :D

     Anyway, I'm just saying, don't go overboard with stress and try to deal with some though! Hope your life will improve!!


  So, wanna know what I'm stressed about? School, homework, peers, identity, life, family, piano, etc., etc., but I try to make my life the best and not be worried because of all these little things! ... because everything is happening all in this one world. We are just a little part of this one HUGE galaxy! Relax and calm yourself down. All problems can be solved if you try!


                                    GUESS WHAT? I'm going on a scholarship trip with my sister to Qingdao China! Is it confirmed yet? Uh... not really.. BUT I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! I do hope it is available.. otherwise, well.. I can still make the best out of the summer without it I guess... just keep smiling and keep up with that beautiful positive attitude (; You can do it!
