i pulled an "Aivory" today.....
when i got home today my mom was like.. Let's go swimming!!! Of course I wanted to.. coz I LOVE Swimming!!! so i got changed into my suit and got ready then i went to grab my goggles since i didn't want to take my contacts off... so when i got them... they smelled like chlorine and made me sick so i put them in the sink and soaked them in water and soap. Then I took my dad's goggles and left for the pool... When I got back, the funniest thing happened.. turns out, when i opened the tap of water, I forgot to close it... so water was running for the whole hour!!! My bathroom was flooded and so was the laundry hallway. My cabinet with my feminine items, hair dryer, straightener, nail polish, bath products, etc was SOAKED! my toilet rolls were soaked!!! it was like a waterfall over my sink! it was actually a funny sight to see.. but boy was my mom mad! heehee.. i went in barefooted in an inch of water and had like 2 humongous towels with me soaking in the water and squeezing it out on the bathtub while throwing everything that was wet into the bathtub! hahahaha... the water also caused a leak in the travel agency below our apartment and they complained! so there I was soaking water in my bathing suit while a security guard came in and saw the mess! I started laughing coz my mom told him that the toilet bowl overflowed instead of blaming it on me!!!!! SOOO FUNNY!!! my hair was all over the place, my suit was soaking and i was surrounded in towels... eventually i got all the water out so that's cool.. heehee.. only something like that could happen to me! hahaha what a sight... i should've taken pictures!
anyways... skating today was awesome!!! I should've skated like that last weekend! I COULD"VE PASSED MY TEST!!!! grr......
school was boring as hell once again... my work load casts a shadow over me and looms over me each minute! I gotta get it up and running!!!!
ALLIE: CHANGING THE TEMPLATE FOR YOU! hahahaha.. now im sick of it too... :D:D:D:D:D
...waiting for arrival...

fun fun law trip.. actually.. i take that back.. boring law trip.. which turned out to be fun! started out HORRIBLE!!! it was the most boringest thing ever!!! once we got there... we had to sit through a boring intro session.. then we were free to roam around any courts and leave as we like.. but the first court we went into we didn't want to distract so we stayed for an hour!!! it was a second degree murder case and all they were doing for a whole hour was reading in evidence! SOOO BORING!!!!! plus the guy convicted was DIRT!!! he was checking out all the girls even though he could spend the rest of his life behind bars!!! so we got out of there... we ended up not finding another court... all were empanelling jurors or closed... so we just roamed around till 1... LUNCH TIME!!! POLISH SAUSAGES! finally! hahahaha.. we had those by nathan philips square then heather, kevin, beth and I walked to eaton centre.. omg.. i think i would've gone crazy at AE!!! me and heather were like I want this and this and this and this and this and this... never ending!!! Heather is soo much fun to be with! I love her!!! hahaha... Yogen Fruz was next.. YUM! heehee... somehow we lost kevin and beth so we met up later back at the courthouse.. herm... we managed to get a good trial this time.. it was a sexual assault and the trial just began so the main witness, a prostitute, was being examined.. it was pretty interesting... I really think she was lying to set him up... if they weren't romantically involved why would she still keep going back to him and giving in to his demands like money and stuff... WEIRD! oh well.. we ended up there for half an hour and then we went home.. got to talk lots with sam chan and heather on the way back.. that was incredibly fun! hehehehe.. sam chan is a cool guy! herm... got home and did nothing.. procrastinated once more.. i think I am officially the expert of procrastination! heehee...
ITS RIDICULOUSLY NICE OUT but RIDICULOUSLY HOT INSIDE!!!!
~ need your opinion: should I cut my hair short????? if you want a pic as a sample, let me know... i need opinions!
10:39 PM
yay!!! new layout for moi!!!!!
today is mommy's day!!!! but i let her down... i didn't give her what she wanted.. i failed her... i was supposed to pass my junior for her but I didn't! what a horrible weekend!!! stupid competition... i hate testing!!! i ruins the fun from the competition.. guess who my judge was! GLENN!!! hahaa!!i knew immediately that he would fail me... that left me with two... one who placed me last in the short and one who i don't know.... turns out... none of them passed me! how great is that! grrrrrr.... its frustrating coz I've been skating the best ever this week and it didn't turn out when it mattered the most! oh well.. WE'LL STICK TO OUR PLAN BRIT!!! Lets go kick some BUTT! anyways...
this morning.. i woke up extra early... i went jogging outside... it was soo nice and isolated.. I felt like I was the only one alive... It really allowed me to think about things... just about everything and to take in everything I saw.. I walked and jogged and strolled and ran... it was enjoyable.. then I took my devos and did it outside in the open air around plants and flowers... It was amazing... I should do it more often... anyways.. after that, I went to dominion downstairs and bought my mom flowers.. I should've got her the blue roses... I love blue roses and I remember she loved them too! but for some reason I settled with the bonsai garden instead... next time.. I'll get her blue roses...they are the nicest flowers in the WORLD! dressed up for her today too.. all in a pretty skirt and stuff! hahaha... SAW SIMONELLE TODAY!!! she looks awesome.. aww.. i miss simonelle..
Law trip tomorrow.. should be exciting! NOT!

When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one as well as the other...
Ecclesiastes 7:14 (NIV)
I saw this verse while looking for a verse to put in my ISP... ironic.. coz bad times and stressful times are occurring now and it made me remember that God has a purpose in everyone's life and he created everything, including events we're going through now! Like my vow, don't sweat the small stuff coz there's a bigger reason for everything...
Finally done with the ISP!!! stupid procrastination made it take sooo long... if i didn't procrastinate.. i could've had it done months ago!!! now im cramming all ISP's into one month. 1 down, 5 more to go! just the thought of it gives me a headache!!! grrr.... oh well... not going to school tomorrow... competition day! hahahaha.. its pointless to go to school for only 2 hours... herm... today wasn't too good skating wise... I could've done a lot better.. I hope i skate like I did yesterday during the actual competition!!!! Hurt my back today doing stupid footwork!!!! i was too busy concentrating on my arms that I forgot about my legs!!! BOOM! there's goes my toe pick, then my butt, then my back! OUCHIEZ!!! hope it doesn't hurt tomorrow! haha.. herm.. Nothing else... All I have on my head is my ISP! haha.. meh... ta ta for now

Today turned out quite decent... School was ridiculously easy.. Since its day 3 and you don't do anything anyways... I was advised discreetly today that I shouldn't continue with yoga... yeah yeah.. okay.. maybe it wasn't directly to me but by reading the whole article, it made me rethink my choices of doing yoga.. not that I have a choice.. I have to do yoga especially during the summer... i still standby the idea that you can separate the physical exercise from the philosophy... I mean, all you're doing is stretches and balance postures anyway and the yoga I do is designed for skating so it can't be that bad... (if you're reading this, let me know your opinion) I think the only one controversial part is the final shevasna when you are supposed to lie down and do nothing.. just let your body sink to the ground... That might be considered the meditation part.. but if you do that and meditate on God would it be reasonable? I don't know.. just a thought.. anyways.. yearbook fun as usual and accounting was short so it was fun again...
Aaron's bday today! he's 17 already! I wanna be 17! this year is gonna be my golden birthday where I turn the number of my birthdate! hehehe.. anyways.. we had a "party" for him at lunch with just us! I love our team and I love our meetings!!! there's always fun!!! at least we get to have dinner on the 31! heehee.. can't wait... that's a day when everything is done, all the stresses gone and just exams left... I can't wait till that day...
skating today was actually decent.. clean solos which is a good sign.. I think Im ready for the weekend... Hopefully things will go well and I'll skate like I did today.. My dress bugs me... its tooo "wedgie-ful" haha.. oh well, so are most dresses but this one bothers me the most.. but it looks okay and gained the approval of both mr. colsen and mrs. burka.. which is a good thing... New Member of Granite Skating:Morya Falleta! she's nice! heehee...she's gonna see how weird we are... Brit's hilarious! she falls at the front steps of the GRANITE!! GO BRIT!!! YOU ROCK! hahahaha... anyways.. skating was good today..
after skating... I had a horrendous stomach ache!!!! It was horrible!!!! super ouchy!!! oh welll... GUESS WHAT PEOPLE!!!! I drank 5 glasses of water today!!! Its getting there, and I read my purpose-driven life this morning!!! and I'm not procrastinatin as much!!! YAY! how cool is that? I"m actually meeting my vows!!! *pats myself on the back*
still don't know what to do about my dilemma... If you know it.. HELP! haha...

today has proven to be one of the most stressful days of my life! First, in school, we need three pages that need to be sent TONIGHT!!! and we are far from finishing them!!! so i had to skip my spare and law class (not that I'm complaining) to run around the school finding pictures or copy and place them in... whoo! then... eng vocab quiz that I thought was gonna be super hard and ended up being the easiest thing in my life... I spent too much time studying for that!!! ugh.... omg.. skating was incredible today.. I did the biggest d. axel ever!!! for me at least.. but as a result, I also have the biggest physical stress as well! ON MY BUTT! OUCH!!!! but at least i did clean solos! yay!!!
~ as a side note, there was this tiny, puny 13 year-old girl from Japan who did TRIPLE AXELS!!! OH MY!!!! that's like crazy! she probably doesn't go to school anymore and just spends her time skating!!! CRAZY PEOPLE! hahahaha
then... coming home.. I procrastinated.. yeah yeah.. i know I said that I had my vows and that I would follow them.. but to be truthful, I neglected not
one but
ALL!!! how sad is that... i neglecting drinking water(didn't drink any), neglecting purpose-driven life (didn't wake up), neglecting jogging (didn't wake up), neglecting goals (didn't make them), and definitely neglected procrastination (the reason why Im on blog!).... okay.. maybe they were a bit overachieving but I sincerely thought that I could accomplish it! I guess not.. I'm gonna make myself start tomorrow!!! I WILL!!!!!
procrastinated like crazy at home... took the longest shower ever, went online, talked to random people, played solitaire for an hour since my minesweeper is gone, opened my ISP file, played insaniquarium again, chatted on the phone with Drii for exactly 53 minutes, doodled, journaled, and talked to jo about "my problems" hehehehe.. and when the clock hit 10, that's when I got to work! HOW SAD IS THAT!!! knowing that I have an ISP due and I don't do it... somebody slap me!
okay.. that's that... plus.. i had very weird convos today... I think I really made a fool of myself... grrrr..... Hope tomorrow is a good day! Because Im gonna JOG! hahahaha.. I WILL!

guess what's keeping me awake right now???? BAWLS! hahaha.. this highly-caffeinated drink that gives you that added boost that you need.. hahaha.. it actually tastes like fruity sprite! no worries.. its not addicting... i actually like my own concoction better, orange juice, cranberry juice and perrier.. hehehehe.. its soo good and healthy too! As of today, I vow to do many things:
* drink as much water as I can since it flushes out toxins in your body and is soo good for you
* give up on all kinds of pop
* write down goals and pursue them
* wake up an hour earlier everyday to go for a morning jog
* don't sweat the small things
* obey my covenant to read the Purpose-Driven Life like everyone else...
* DON'T PROCRASTINATE
let's see how long these will last... i give it a week! hahaha.. im joking.. I am actually gonna do them... well, maybe not the last one... I give that one a week! hehehe... today was actually a pretty bad day... its the first day that I didn't do a clean long for weeks!! plus in school, I read about how Yoga is completely against Christianity... even though I love Yoga... then we got a pep talk in yearbook about how we're sooo behind... iano.. i just felt really lost and laggy today... sadly, i think im gonna feel that way until the end of the year when all my school stresses will be over with... I can't wait till school ends!!!!
ON a brighter note, whoever reads this really must try my concoction! My "drinkable summer" drink.. heehee.. orange juice, cranberry juice and perrier!!! Im truly addicted... man.. i really need a water fountain... (ok.. that was really really random)
The Summer Skating schedule is up! Its changed to novice comp and up for granite members i guess..YAY! heehee.. cept for the fact that we pretty much waste the whole summer in one building (not that we didn't waste it before)... but now our day starts at 12:30 pm and goes till 6:30 pm or something like that! It used to be that we started at 6:30 am and ended at 3:30 pm! that way we still had the afternoon to do stuff but now we just wake up late and go home late! or is it???? iano.. we'll see how that goes.... Mrs. Burka said I had the worst layback ever! what an encouragement eh? but at least she doesn't object to my short program which is good... and d. axels were good today cept not in my solo!
I actually think this is my longest post ever yet I still wanna keep typing since its taking up my time so I don't do homework yet my mom thinks I am doing homework! haha.. its a good substitute!!! now its time for shevasna! total relaxation until CRAMMING TIME!!!! ta ta for now!

EXCEPT my religion isp.. talk about procrastination! on a brighter note, i feel really good coz i just got stretched this afternoon! i love my stretch classes now.. getting rid of all the knots and tightness is good for you! skating wasn't bad either... even after not skating for 4 days, i can still do the d. axel i left it with!!! yay for me!!! many other yays for me too!!!! ugh.. dreading my sat scores!!! haha.... now let's see how that template went...

back from retreat! so uplifting! i loved it... it turned out to be a great retreat.. although we did plan a little too much free time.. but oh well.. I LOVED THE SESSIONS! haha.. mr. capello is an awesome speaker and the handbook really helped a lot (thanks allie and enoch!) really changed my perspective on things... i guess im on a spiritual high but i really don't want to come crashing down! i had a lot of fun on the retreat as well.. although the food could've been better (thank goodness i brought an overload of food) and the bunks weren't bad... the talent show was the best ever!!! GO AARON, MIKE, and HIU!!! amazing! and props to all the worship teams! hehe... (good job MIKE) oasis chapel was awesome too! (MY GOD!) wow.. im not making sense! oh well... loved the retreat
