Inspiration

At times when you think that you have failed at everything, you have really just succeeded. You have realized that you are not perfect, that not everything turns out just right in life.

Think about all the good things you have done, the good times in your life. You have definitely made a difference in someone else’s life, you just don’t know it – I can guarantee it. If you are reading this blog, you have made a difference in my life.

Think about this: How can I do any better? What can I do to make a difference, to help more people, to change the world, one small step at a time?

Think about the future, not the past. Hope for the best, not the worst.

Believe in yourself and you too can make a difference in the world.

Sick


Sick
Originally uploaded by Mike KC
As i mentioned earlier. I got sick. Really Sick. But for some reason i still had the energy to take this picture. It took a while to take... and i did a bit of post-processing which made it look a little bit better.

oh and i didnt overdose.. though i was going too... o.O

back

Well,

My previous trial version of Microsoft office expired so I couldn’t really blog when I came back

But I just got the new 2011 edition =D

So now I’m back on track and ready to roll!!!

I’m sick.

Not good, really not good. I was really set and excited to do some work today but then I got sick. I haven’t been this sick in the longest time, I usually don’t get this sick… touchwood. So I didn’t get any work done. Though I did take a picture… or two

I had an okay time during the cruise, which was unexpected, but now I kinda regret going, because I have so much work to catch up on because I only had a week to do the work.

I had a good time the past few days going out with my parents… I don’t know how many more of those days will come in the near future…

I don’t know what else to say any more

I’m tired

So I’m going to try and do some work.

ccchristmas

WOW

Just one more day.

It’s nearly Christmas.

Schools nearly over and I’m nearly off on my cruise.

Last night was good, but it was also bad. I didn’t do any homework whatsoever. I spent the whole night making Christmas presents. I did a total of 58 cards and about 30 something gifts. I wrapped them, made them, wrote in them, etc. All last night. The bad thing is that it didn’t feel like it did before, years ago. I lost the happy excitement of Christmas. – I recall someone saying that as you get older you long and wish and just always reminesce in the past and in those memories, the feelings of the past. Similarly, that’s what I am feeling.

I’ve got lots of work to do over the holidays. And especially because I will not be there for one week, it will be even more hectic when I get back, because I have to hang out with friends, do all more work, prepare for exams, prepare for the stuff coming up and also to finish university applications.

During English class, we were having our CPT presentations. Luckily I got chosen to go today, because if not I would have to go to last period tomorrow and sit through all the presentations. I presented, not prepared because she didn’t give me any notice, llike she did to everyone else. But luckily I think I did good. There were times when I was stumbling and I was unsure of what I was to do next, cause I guess I didn’t play it through in my head well enough yet. However, I wrote a poem. What I was really surprised was that I was able to read the poem exactly as I imagined it. i.e. with all the emotions, expressions and changes in my tone of voice. Not only that, there were some times when I was so into it that I wanted to do the actions too! I don’t know what went into me, cause I mean, I was presenting in front of the class and what not, so usually I’m nervous, I stutter and I get red. But I guess it was pretty good this time.

Katie got in to Carlton! That is so awesome! I am so happy for her. She tells me in the morning and her face just brightens up. It’s really cool. She deserves it. She’s one of the few people in this world who … I don’t even know how to describe it, she’s just really honest, really awesome, kind, true, compassionate and everything great!

Well, I hope I will get an acceptance letter from McGill. I really want to go there.

I got chosen for the Casey’s Choice Award.

I am going to go eat dinner now.

It’s not that bad

It’s only 141 am

Im really tired

But I still have a lot of things to do

Im really starting to get excited for the holida

But its surprisingly close..

Its like a few days from now

Im not ready

Things are going by so fast right now

I cant even see it coming!

My English cpt presentation is either tomoro or Thursday

I think I can present tomorrow

Just to get it over with

I made a cake

Out of beads

I spent three hours doing it

Mostly cause I didn’t know what I was doing

I had to come up with the pattern and idea myself

Which was a bit challenging

But I did it

And it looks cool

I need to do math

I haven’t worked on math in the longest time

I need to do bio

I don’t do bio till I have to

Which is really affecting my mark

During the holidays

I shall finish or at least start =P

Homeostasis notes

We drank red bull in bio today

Everyone says it tastes bad

So I was worried about it

But it didn’t taste THAT bad

Its okay

Anyways

Ill chat lateer!

its 2am

I am starting to sleep later and later

That is really not good.

I had a lot of work to do today, mainly because I didn’t follow my ‘perfect world’ schedule and wasted lots of time yesterday. So I basically did one assignment yesterday, and everything else I left for today. But today I wanted to go to Costco, and do the normal things that I usually do on Sunday, other than homework. But that didn’t work. So I stayed home and wasted time and did my work.

Its scary to think that the year is almost over. It’s scary to think that its nearly Christmas. I am going on a cruise next Sunday. It is less than a week away. I usually get really excited about it and look forward to it. But for some reason, this year, I haven’t really I guess have the time to absorb everything that happened and actually start feeling happy about it. I know I will have a good time, but I also anticipate all the work that I have to do when I get back. There is quite a bit of things to do.

Anyways

I was gonna blog a bit longer

But I can’t

Cause I realized that its 212 am and that means that tomorrow morning I wont want to wake up, nor will I want to go to school, but I have to. Then ill be really tired throughout the day and when it comes to my math quiz and English in class essay which I haven’t prepared for, I will not do good on. And tomorrow after school I will feel tired and want to take a nap, and if I do I will be up late again to make up for the time loss from taking the nap and get tired the next day. And the cycle goes on.

Oh jeez

Its nearly Christmas

Friends are awesome

So is snow

And family

=D

another day gone

I shouldn’t be online right now. I shouldn’t be doing this either.

It’s really late… or should I say early. And I’m starving! I should have eaten more at KBBQ.

It’s been one long night, but today (Saturday) was pretty awesome throughout.

This morning I did math, then I went to lunch with my mom. We went to mong kok, then to the bead store so I could buy some beads to make the angels that I needed to make as Christmas gifts. I decided to make angels for some people because I wanted to give them angels, but for others, I just decided it would be easier than making anything else cause it doesn’t take as long. I spent 75 bucks at the store buying enough material to make 20 angels. That would amount to 3.75 for every angel. At first I thought that was pretty good, but then I start to think, and now it seems a bit expensive.

When I got home, I was supposed to start on my religion film review that was due Friday but I didn’t have to do it cause I wasn’t in class on Friday. I ended up spending two hours making 12 angels. I will post pictures soon. I started doing a bit of the work. I watched glee… the Christmas episode and it really reminded me about Christmas and made me want to do something with Christmas. Then I went out for KBBQ with my friends. It was a good time.

When I left, I lfet early and I went to chapters to get a gift card, then to wal mart to get some candy canes and then back home.

I really enjoy going out with my mom. Even if it is just to run errands. We do it every weekend. It’s great. Many times I tell her that I finished more than I have done of my work or that I don’t have much work left and go with her. However I know that both my mom and I will miss this little ‘tradition’ next year when I might not live at home.

Anyways, I made more bead things as gifts for Christmas tonight. See, I’m worried about STAND. Like I really want to make things for it. However I gave all my santa clauses away so I couldn’t make any and I decided to work on my Christmas presents instead. Now, I can tell for sure that we will not have everything finished on Monday. So I don’t know what to do. And I can’t help to make more now, just because I am so busy with catching up with all the school work that I missed and didn’t do today.

Anyways, I guess I can’t really do anything about it. I just don’t want to face my teacher advisor. Oh and the other thing I sort of sense is that lots of the members, and the people part of it, don’t seem to show much of a dedication towards it. I mean I’m not the most committed to it, but I try… they do too, its just that sometimes I guess I don’t feel it enough. And because of that, I find it hard to work, hard for things to happen, and things to go well.

More stress

Yay

Christmas is here!

Saturday, December 11, 2010

hope for the best.

Well,

I typed a few blog posts throughout the week about several things that happened… several bad things. But for security purposes, they are saved on my computer, and will not be found online.

I feel like I needed to do a blogspot.

About everything

About life

About loving

About Christmas

About time

And about me

But I will do that later

Now im tired

But I just wrote in my journal for like an hour… so yeah, I have pretty much exhausted all that I have to say.

I have lots of homework this weekend, but who doesn’t. I just hope we can all get through this year, without holes and broken bones. I hope that we can do well and succeed.

being thankful

I just wanted to say that i have really great friends
ones who will stand by me no matter what
ones who surprise me
make me laugh
make me cry
comfort me when i do
and help me
every step of the way
so i thank them
all

i have great parents
who are supportive
and go out of their way to make me happy
to help me
ones who will hide their feelings
to make me happy
even when deep down inside
they are feeling terrible

i have great grandparents
who wake up early every morning
to cook us breakfast
and lunch

i have a great brother
who will
during most times
help me when i need it
and during the times of stress
and worries
he will be there
no matter what

this is short
but this is important

i am just thankful for everything

even if i am not doing as good as i wanted, even if i am not getting along with everyone in school, even if i am not getting enough sleep or working hard enough or don't have something i want

cause in the end
i know
that i am surrounded
by fantastic people
even those who may not seem the nicest to me
at this point in time
are wonderful people
i am thankful for them
for all of them
for everything that i have

also
everyone
has they difficulties
has their problems
and their troubles that tey are dealing with
at every point in their lives
although it may not seem obvious to the bystander
but they are dealing with these nonetheless
no one is perfect
everyone has problems
i have to think of that
i have to remember that
to keep in mind that people act a certain way for a reason

just know that there is someone out there that is tied in knots that are way thicker than yours, so that my problems are not the only thing in the world, that everyone has them too. so take that into consideration when you're around someone, anyone.

rewind please

I just came back from Costco

It’s great

It really feels like Christmas is here

But it really sucks

Theres so much to do

So much to worry about that we cant really absorb all the Christmas spirit

That we cant really be ourselves and be happy for Christmas

The best part about going on a trip or celebrating something is thinking about how great its gonna be and imagining it, the second half is the actual thing itself

So if that’s the case then really, we should be able to get some time off, just to spend with our family and friends to think about Christmas to just rejoice and have fun

Were growing up so quickly

And time is flying by quickly

We really need to take some time to rest, to think and to absorb everything that’s going on in our lives

But its hard

It really is

continuation

Well,

I was really tired last night so I didn’t go into much detail with my post, so let’s do that now.

So yesterday I went to the cafeteria in the morning during first period to study, and I was there with the pacers. Sullivan came too, just to answer some of our questions and he told us that it was a hard test, that there was a lot of things we don’t expect and a lot of picky stuff. So we were all worried, and there was so much stuff we didn’t know. He gave us the option of writing the test on Monday… I was half tempted to but at the time I was worried that I would forget the stuff I have already memorized over the weekend, it would screw up my schedule and then I wouldn’t have time to study for genetics, which I am not as familiar with as I should be.

So in the end, I wrote the test and I guess, it wasn’t the best thing ever. There was a lot of things that I did not know. I guess I don’t necessarily regret doing it, but i guess im just hoping then to do really good in my genetics test to make up for it… but I frankly don’t think I’ll do really really good for my genetics test. Which is not good. So I must study for that.

I wrote my novel review for the great Gatsby in class yesterday. I prepared for it at home, so I was prepared. I memorized and remembered everything I had planned and I wrote it. I liked what I wrote. I finished early and I had time to reread it and I wrote more than I needed to. So everything seemed pretty good for that part. I just hope I get a good mark for it. Cause I really need those marks.

Math – she taught something that made no sense to me whatsoever. Then matt, beside me, was deriving the formula that she was trying to get to and even the teacher was like iffy on what she was doing, and matt got it. Good for him, but that makes it worse in the sense that I will never do as good in this stuff as I wanted to.

After school, I went home and just organized my stuff.

Then we went out for dinner with my grandparents. But the atmosphere to the place was not the best and greatest so it wasn’t the best dinner ever.

Then we went to markville to buy some Christmas presents. I didn’t buy much presents, cause I really haven’t thought of presents and what I needed to get. But what I did enjoy doing was going to the bookstore to pick out some books. I saw a few friends there and it was a pretty good time.

Then I went home and slept. So that is that.

Today I had math tutor

Then I went for lunch

Now I’m back home

And I’m doing math again

But I should do bio.

Hard work doesn't pay off...

I even skipped fist period to study for ecology

But I still did bad

Lots of work to do this weekend

And next

No time to blog

Gotta sleep

\

STUDY-MEMORIZE-WORK

For once I made a study plan schedule thing

Oh

Yesterdays math test was the worst test so far this year

I don’t know

I didn’t even have enough time to finish

Nor did I understand half of the questions

I got my journal back

Did worse than last time

Have a novel review

In class tomorrow

Im going to do bad on that

Well

Im supposed to be studying ecology

From 4 till dinner (530)

Then dinner from 530 to 6

Then English from 6-7 … hopefully it doesn’t take an hour

Then nap for a bit

Then from when I wake up till early in the morning – study!

Im not going to first either

I have to study

I need to do good in bio…

Wish everyone luck who’s studying for a test tomorrow!

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Done

Well, ain’t this lovely, it’s 2am in the morning…

But that’s not the best part, the other thing is that I am super hungry

Im starving

I want some garlic bread

No wait

Chocolate lemon cake

No tiramisu

No rice

No im so hungry

And typing these foods aren’t helping

Well I studied for math… a LOT

I think

I hope its enough

I don’t know

I should do all my homework from now on

This way I don’t have to freak out the night before the test

I hope I will be good for tomorrows test

I have one period and one lunch to study for it…

Argh im hungry

My stomach is GROWLING

Randomly I felt the need to do another English journal, so I did. And I finished my last one. This means that all I need to do is edit. And I shall edit it tomorrow, and finish all my editing and what not tomorrow. Then that will leave tomorrow to prep for the novel review and a bit of tomorrow and the whole of Thursday to study for ecology.

That is not enough time to study for ecology/ there are so much things to know

I mean my notes are 49 pages afterall

I feel bad

I haven’t applied to any scholarship that I am confident in getting

I applied to two

One of which I didn’t get for sure

And the other one I am 99.99999999999999999999999999% shure I didn’t get

Now that means I don’t get scholarship money

I should have applied for more

I guess there’s still time, but I mean, there aren’t much scholarships that are good that are left

This is bad

Argh

I don’t like this

And I am just wasting time

Right now

Im really tired I think

I want to do Christmas cards

That would be so much fun!

I hope I have time to do that this weekend!

That would be the best thing ever

It’s always really exciting and fun to do Christmas cards!

Okay

Let’s stop here, because if not, I will never stop.
