dont I?

I don’t find that people are putting too much pressure on me.

I actually find that a healthy amount of pressure is good.

OK maybe I sometime get very stressed about school, marks and getting in to university. But I know I can do it. I really do. I have confidence in myself. I just need to work harder. That’s what life is, that’s what success is. Tying harder. Working harder. And I know it sounds like a cruel world. But that’s just what life is. You gotta run to succeed. That how I feel. I feel like I am constantly running. Trying to keep up. Not only with school but with friends. With popularity. I want people to like me. Who doesn’t? But its a struggle too. Once I start trying my hardest to succeed in school. They come up with more faults that I have. Be more social. Be more active. ‘Why didn’t you go to that school dance? Everyone else is going to the school dance. All you do is sit around on the computer.’ ‘You’ve gained weight’ ‘Its not healthy to go on a diet’ Then why did you tell me that I need to lose weight!? Your making me self-conscious too! I cant join any teams, I’m not good enough. People already think I’m weird, I don’t want them to think I’m bad at sports too!

I don’t feel like I have a right to complain. People have is way worse. Why should I complain about a little stress? Okay… Its not okay about stress… its about society and how we expect everyone to be perfect. And if their not, they must be doing something wrong. Media. Perfect skinny models. And the thing is, I listen to them. I know its impossible to be that skinny without being anorexic. But is still try... 

Im reading this post and every other sentence I write is contradicting the other one... Maybe its just me. Im conflicted. 

*sigh* Whatever. 

Blind fall

Sometime we have to just let life take its course. We have to keep our promises and just go with it. If there is not long term damage then, why not? Right?

You might not feel comfortable at first, you might just want to run away and hid. That how I feel. But I know its for the better. It will help me, and if it doesn't then whatever. No harm done. I might even get something out of this. Right?

*sigh* I donno... you can't please everyone, sometime not even yourself. But I don't know why I have such a strong feeling in my heart. It weighing me down and I just feel it every second I'm alone. What should I do? Ignore it till it goes away? Hopefully it will go away with time...

I keep on telling myself this is a good opportunity. Maybe deep down I don't believe it myself...

I closed my eyes and took a step. Like I always do... and it always works out. I never fall. But this time I'm not so sure. I do think only time will tell,

I just hope its for the best.

Thanks for listening... I know you must be very confused, good thing no one reads this.

Must know, Life Lessons

Just thought I'd Leave you with this beautiful story I read. (sorry I forgot to get the URL of this website, and I can't find it again. But if the creator is reading this, you must know that you are inspirational.)

Important Lesson - "Giving When It Counts"

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her."

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

Nervous

I hate anxiety. Ugh I feel like I have to throw up.

And Its like anxiety never helps, its just makes things worse! I have written and rewritten this post many times so I'm just gonna leave it at this.

Ice Storm Mayhem

Toronto got hit by an ice storm this winter break. And I got to say, It was magical.

Okay, I probably enjoyed it more than those who were left without power for three days including Christmas. An ice storm is basically when freezing rain rains down and the minute it touches something it turns to ice. This causes the trees to become laced with ice and become very heavy and break on power lines. However, this also becomes a very beautiful sight to see.

As you can see in the picture the ice stuck to all the branches and made them

(Not my picture)

at least two more centimetres thick. And when the sun shawn through them, ohhh it was beautiful!

I can imagen that it was hard to see the beauty in this whether when you don't have electricity or heating in the coldest month. but I would like to say that every part of nature has a beautiful and amazing part to it. Walking down the quiet white street this christmas was an experience I got to say.

Im glad that all the 300,000 people got back their electricity this holiday and are nice and warm, but I will also be sad to see the ice to go. Im sure the trees are happy though. ^^

Summer

Hey everyone,
Wow. Its been a long time...
I want to have a really legit reason for abondoning you. But, im not gonna lie. Im just plain lazy. So what happend that I decided today will be the day? The fact is that im just plain bored. I've had alot of stuff to do in the last weeks of june. With exams and all... but thats no excuse. Please forgive me? I make no promises, but i will try to post more often now that its summer.

So? How is everyones summer starting off??
I went to Canadas wonderland on the only cold and windy day of the week. Im pretty sure mother nature did not want us to enjoy our first day of summer because it started raining on the start of windseeker (witch for those of you who dont know its the slowest ride that brings you up like 301 feet tall ). And that is how my Summer started. :) I didnt really do anything else but yeah.

So anyway, if anyone is reading this post, probley not because i have not posted in like 3 months, and nobody in the right mind would read this (Unless your as bored as me), I want to follow more blogs so if you know a blog that is still active please coment the IRL bellow. You can even post your own URL, thats fine with me. Thanks :)

Roller coster

Life is like a roller coaster,

But the best thing is to hold on and let it take you where you want to go.

Hope you guys are having a better long weekend then me. :)

Cute Owl

Your life isn’t complete if you haven’t seen this adorable owl who jumps on invisible pray!

Nervous much?

It happened again.
Its exam time and I AM NERVOUS!
I am spending all my time studying and doing homework/projects.
I have a week left and I'm going crazy.
I am so nervous.
And what do I do when I'm nervous?
I read. What do I read you may ask.
Harry Potter.
Yes, It has happened again!
Every time something happens that would make me exited and nervous, I read harry potter.
It happened at the beginning of the school year too.

So I am happy to say that this week I went Harry Potter crazy, read all 7 books again, watched all the movies, listened to all the back round music, and joined a online Hogwarts. yes, I did say a Online Hogwarts. Its when you go to the web site and get sorted by the sorting hat ( I got in ravenclaw!) then you can answer questions to get points for your house. Its not easy questions like, what is the name of the school harry goes? But it hard questions, like what was first potions that Snape assigns his new first-years to brew? This just shows that I am Harry Potter crazy!

So every time I get nervous my Harry Potter adiction cames back and stays with me untill I get over the thing im nervous about. So I guess I just gotta do my exames and get over with it!

Wish me luck! :)

(For my exames and to get over my harry potter adiction)

Life will change, right?

Some times we just got to get through life, cant change it.


This year has been very stressful.


Just waiting for this year to end.


Maybe the hard times will pass,


and some light will shine.


just have to keep waiting...

Wishing You All

A MERRY CHRSTMAS!

WARNING VERY SAD! :`(

So I had to do a project about some problem that is really important for me. I chose shark fin soup. Here is why...

Shark fin soup is a soup or broth of Chinese origin made with shark fin and flavoured with chicken or some other stock. The fin itself has very little flavour and it is used primarily to add texture to the dish and because it is seen as a delicacy. Shark fin soup is not cheap - it can easily cost upwards of $100 per bowl, shark fin soup is being consumed in vast quantities, placing an unsustainable and crippling demand on shark populations.

This I can deal with but the fact is that Shark fining is the practice of slicing off the shark's fins while the shark is still alive and throwing the rest of its body back into the ocean where it can take days to die what must be an agonising death. Some sharks starve to death, others are slowly eaten by other fish, and some drown, because sharks need to keep moving to force water through their gills for oxygen. Shark fins are used as the principal ingredient of shark fin soup, an Asian "delicacy". Demand for shark fin soup has rocketed in recent years due to the increased prosperity of China and other countries in the Far East. Shark fin soup, which can easily cost $100 a bowl, is often served at wedding celebrations so that the hosts can impress their guests with their affluence.

Fishermen are only interested in the fins because shark meat is of low economical value and takes up too much space in the hold. It also contains urea, which turns to ammonia once the shark has died and contaminates other fish.

Shark fin itself is tasteless, it just provides a gelatinous bulk for the soup which is flavoured with chicken or other stock. Many people, especially the consumers, are unaware of the suffering that fining causes. Tens of millions of sharks are slaughtered every year to satisfy the demand for shark fin soup; at least 8,000 tonnes of shark fins are shipped to restaurants around the world. Fishermen report that sharks are getting smaller because they are not being given time to mature. How they kill sharks and leave them to die is illegal, however people do it anyway. Most people are afraid of sharks but to tell the truth, coconuts kill more people then sharks do. And no animal should have such a miserably, horribly, barbaric way of dieing.

Let’s start putting a end to this and not support, this massacre! Do not eat shark fin soup or go to the restaurants. (Wow I said a lot!)

Thank you, for reading!!!!! And please, don't support shark fining! If you want to see more here is the place where i got my info!! http://www.stopsharkfinning.net/index.htm

If Today

If today was the
last day of my life
I would leave all worries aside
I would be thankful to be alive
I would be all right
I would just smile

If today was the
last day of my life
I would stop just to be with you
I would learn everything new
I would be friendly, and I would laugh,
just because.
I would live,
love and cherish everything I ever knew

If today was the
last day of my life
I would pass on peace
I would pass on love
I would pass on the good of life

I would give on
the joy of knowing,
that I would be
remembered

If today was the
last day of my life
I would accept peacefully all that comes,
including my death,
for death, is just a new beginning.

Just a little some thing to brighten your mood. ;)

Color Blind Anyone??

So today I found out that my careers teacher and my 3 friends ( well not really more like my classmates) are color blind! I never knew! It never crossed my mind. One of whom is the smartest kid in the school!That was a surprise for me, not only did I know that color blindness was that common but I would never think that I would know some one that was color blind personally. Well that was a big shock too me. Because these people acted like every body else and never was limited by the fact that they were color blind. After the fact registered in my head I felt bad, I knew that these people could never see the beauty leaves changing color or the magnificent color of the sunset. They could never really be an artist, but in the other hand, they wouldn't want to be and artist because if you think about it you cant miss what you never had, right? So they would not miss seeing the sunset or the flower blooming because they never had it. For me it would be a BIG deal to not see the color of these things, but maybe for them, not so much. It mad me feel good tho know a little more about my classmates. So I went and read a little more about color blindness and found out that there are a lot of different color blindness (some you cant even notice) For example, you could not be able to see the difference between blue and purple or red and orange. I found it interesting to read about and I just wanted to show you what I learned! I hope you were as interested as I was!

Here are some pictures on color blindness!  :)

If you can see a number in here, then your not color blind!

If you cant... then I don't think you can be a pilot. :)

These two pictures are what a normal person see of a head and the second picture is what a Color Deficient person see! The Color Deficient person sees the human head greenish.
