Noël Académie!!

Noël Académie is a religious camp for the french schools in my district. I went last year because it was at my school but this year it was at Sainte-Famille which is a school in Mississauga. Noël Académie is fun from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, of course no ones ever wants to leave because they make so many new friends, also the most fun you'll ever have at Noël Académie is the day that the elders come because two students will be paired up with one elderly then we play a big game of bingo and talk to the elder and when it's time for dinner we go in the cafeteria and eat but when they're almost done their meal, the guess priest will start off the show with a little song himself. Last years' guess priest was father Robert Lebel he was pretty awesome but this year it was father Yvon Samson he was amazing because he used everyday situation to explain to us certain biblical meanings and such. Anyway, after the priest was finished, each school that attended had to put on a show for the elders to enjoy, whether it's a song, song and dance, or a little skit, it doesn't matter as long as you have fun, now my school which is Saint-Charles-Garnier, decided to do a skit because the previous year, we did a song and dance to Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and that was a disaster. But this year while we practiced, our skit looked horrible and we thought for the longest time that it was going to be even worse then last year but when we got on stage and started acting out our Hillbilly Christmas, it turned out excellent and went by smoothly. When it's time to leave, we always do a reflexion on how the past couple of days has impacted us and of course people always think that it won't because it's just a camp but it really does. For me Noël Académie is an amazing experience and it opens up your heart to help others. When we have the chance to confess for something we've done, you get that heavy weight off your shoulders, and when we spend time with elders, we gain not only experience but we grow in knowledge because they teach us that no matter what you do in life, taking the time to reach out to someone, makes your heart healthier in a way that it grows of kindness. Of course I wish that I can go back to Noël Académie next year but unfortunately I'm graduating this year so I won't be able to but I hope that Noël Académie grows in the number  of students that attend because even just from last year to this year it was incredible the amount of kids that wanted to enjoy the first weekend of December by attending Noël Académie!

First Impressions!!

First impressions are everything. It's your first impression that makes people see you the way they do. I personally hate how people see me right away. Because I find that it's not totally true or well it's an over exaggeration of who I am. The way they see me is an angel, who never gets in trouble, super happy, never swears, always listens, and anything else that's good. But I'm not perfect because I do swear from time to time, I get in trouble here and there, but I don't do stupid things. I hate it because it makes me seem like a suck up to my peers and really I'm not. First impressions, seem to last because no matter how you make an impression on someone, they will always see you as that person, so be wise on the way you act when first meeting someone because next thing you know, you might end up being the worlds biggest meany head!:P

Makes You Think!!

As you get older, you lose friends and you gain some but sometimes you keep them for a long time. I've had my best friend my whole life and of course we have our ups and downs in those years, we are still friends. My parents never truly liked my best friend because they kept on saying that oh well she's just using you and so on and so on. Of course I just ignored them because I knew that they hated her so why should I care what my parents think about my friends. Of course after all these years I truly care about her but I also get to care about my other friends to and sometimes things happen that makes you need to sit down with a friend and talk. But as I was talking with one of my friends about recent drama, we got into the topic of friends and I was saying how I just lost one friend and I don't really have many left. He of course asked which ones I had left and I said him, another friend, and my best friend. But then when I said my best friend he looked at me and kind of laughed. I asked him why he was laughing and he replied it was nothing but then he said actually your best friend uses you more than anything. Now I know he's not the first to say it so I started thinking and when I went to talk to one of my teachers she sort of agreed and so now I'm trying to think of possible times that she couldn't use my generosity in any way but not much is coming up. It's just that when your parents say something about one of your friends you don't really care but as soon as another friend says the same thing it makes you think but then yet when a teacher even thinks the same, now that really gets you thinking. Now of course I won't stop being her friend just because of that, but I guess I do have to start saying NO!!! Hopefully it won't be to hard!

Media Control!!

Not too long ago I was visiting my cousin's school because I went to pick her up but I got there during their recess. I came across the fact that a lot of the little kids seem to be dressing and acting more inappropriately at a younger age. I was simply asking myself how they would even get so much more fake at such a young age. Is it the media? When you look at a 7 year old today you realize that she sort of dresses as if she was 20 and that's not right. Not only that drugs and alcohol seem to be affecting younger age groups. It's like people need to be like the celebrities, they need to act like them, dress like them, and pretty much almost be them. The world does not need like a hundred little Jayde Nicole, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, etc.. Those people have enough problems as it is. You should just be you and not try to portrait someone who isn't truly real to us. Yes media has gotten out of hand with celebrities and the latest scandals but we shouldn't pay attention or even care about it. We have our own lives and should live them as ourselves and not like a person we see that does stupid things just to get publicity. They need to control how the media sees celebrities because now as I look at the younger kids, they seem to be trying to act like as if they were all that and they're dressed in almost nothing. It's horrible to see and it's wrong! But most likely it will get worse but hopefully sooner or later   people will realize how stupid it is to be someone they are not!!!

Volunteering!!

Volunteering most definitely pays off! As I am currently still in high school, I need forty hours of community service in order to graduate. Many or even most people wait until the last minute to get their forty hours finished but of course not everyone! For instance, as soon as I started grade nine, I started volunteering at my church with their special events. But it didn`t suffise for me because I was eager to volunteer so my cousin who is a recreational therapiste at the Whitby Mental Health Centre or well actually now it's called the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, got me a volunteering position at the age of 14 when in reality to volunteer at the Whitby Mental Health Centre, you must be at least 16 and even then it's hard enough to get in. But thanks to my cousin I was able to get in. I had put in so many hours that I was awarded at their yearly appreciation dinner, the most hours for a student and my hours for one year was 166. That's a lot considering it was the same year I had started my job. I loved helping out though. All the bingo games, the outings, the dances, and talking with all the seniors (even though many of them scared me). It was an amazing experience and thanks to that I was to get a grant for 500 dollars to go towards my schooling! So volunteering pays off in more then one way because I got a lot of experience that can help me get a new job and it helps me get grants and such for college next year!

Education!!

Education is a gift. Whether you decide to cherish that gift it is fully up to you! Teachers can't do more then give us the tools we need in order to learn. Now in order to actual educate yourself on certain things, it is up to you and your brain. Teachers cannot force us to learn because they do not control our brains, meaning they can't make us make sense or remember certain things, you have to do that for yourself! If you choose not to learn that don't blame the teachers because they give you what you need in order to learn. Of course teachers don't want to see you fail but if you fail it is completely your fault. I've noticed that as you get older you tend to slack off a bit or a lot! I definitely cherish my gift of education because I love learning new things but I also make time for friends and even family. It's not hard to get decent grades and still have time for a social life. Just as long as you organize your time right and enjoy the gift of knowing.!

Love!!

Love is infinite! Your heart has as much room to love as you let it. You should love your friends and family; all your peers that you have ever spoken to, you should love. I say such a thing because no matter how long a conversation was with even a complete stranger you should love because just that conversation or certain action changed your life and made your life go on as the person you are. Of course love seems like a strong word but it depends on the depth or your love for that person that makes it such a strong word. If it's love for a complete stranger that you said hello to or help with directions or something then that love isn't love exactly but one of it's forms, which would be acceptance. You have a love in terms of acceptance of someone new in a moment of your life. But if it's a friend that you're not so close with them it might be under form of like, politeness, or even just a friendship. But then using the term love is when you can't even describe love in any other form. Always make sure you make room for everyone that had a moment of time in your life because that moment helps create you and who you are today in terms of everything from personality to attitude. Every moment of your life is something to cherish and never be token for granted. Love is infinite; love your life and love yourself and everything that made you, you!

In The End...!!

Not that long ago I changed my personal message for my msn name to harbored emotions are there no less but in the end is it worth the whole mess. So many people asked me what it truly meant and I haven't told anyone but now considering people are always talking about relationships and such and not long ago my ex boyfriend came over to my place to try to get me to go back out with him I realized how much emotions seem to take over the way you act. Harbored emotions are emotions that you keep bottled up inside and never let out. Those kind of emotions I find speak the most when faced with certain things such as the person those feelings are reflected on, talking about the person that those feelings are reflected on and mostly even just thinking about those feelings; makes you want to either scream out loud how you feel or wish that you could let them out without making your a fool of yourself and such. Technically you could let those emotions out but you never know the outcome of it. It's hard to keep emotions in but it's harder to let them out. It doesn't matter really of the age because when you fall for someone, it's hard to let them know. We become friends with people we like but always have to choose wether to risk an amazing friendship for something that might or might not work. Even though you think you get over the person, there is still always something there and in the end it's up to you to choose between regret from not trying or the pain of rejection?...

More Than One Best Friend!!

It has been said that you can't have more than one best friend because it breaks the rule of trust. But unfortunately, I don't care so much for that saying because I have four best friends well of course i have more friends but these four are just closer to me. Each one of my friends mean so much to me in a different way and we share that friendship in differents ways. Everytime I think about just one of their names, things we've done in the past all come rushing back to me. That's how i know that I truly care for them because I can't seem to forget one little detail about our friendship.
Tanya: Tanya has been my best friend since we were born. We've had our ups and downs but I know that she is always there for me when I need her. We've never been able to stay mad at each other for more than 2 hours except for once not that long ago a boyfriend of hers got in the way of our friendship. The reason she's my best friend is not for the fact that I can tell her everything because I CAN'T tell her EVERYTHING but it's because we share so much together that no matter what, I will always be there for her and I know she'll be there for me!
Patrique: Pat and I never really talked much in our younger years but for several years now, we've been getting pretty close as friends. I trust him so much with all my secrets and such that I'm able to tell him everything. He was the one that was there for me when I truly needed a friend the most and I know that I consider him as a close friend because when I saw that he was hurting and in pain, it tore me up inside. We have so many memories from the years that we've truly been friends that it makes up for the years that we just knew each other. But as I consider him a really good friend because he's the only person I can tell all my problems, secrets, etc... to. i really appreciate him being one of my friends...
Natalie: Natalie and I in grade school, we  were the worst of ennemies ever! We hated each others guts. But now since we've been in high school, we became super close! She's my friend that I can bitch to! Whenever the other person has a situation that pisses them off, we talk to each other about it because we have that thing between us where if we bitch about something to each other we feel better. It's a weird friendship but hey it works!! I care for her to though because I was hurt when she was mad at me for telling everything to Patrique instead of her but she ended up understanding in the end!
Megan: Megan and I have been friends since we were very little. I was 2 years old when we met in our very first dance class and ever since we've been BFFLAB(best friends for life and beyond) plus she lived in the same apartment building and then when I moved she ended up moving on the same street as me. It was awesome we were inseparable. But unfortunately, she moved away to haliburton and we haven't been as close as before. Whenever she comes down though, we have fun. But I just wished she didn't have to leave. I miss her so much but she's still my bfflab. 
Those four are my closest friends and I know that going away to school and such next year will seperate us but I will work my best to keep in touch as long as I can!! Plus now with the internet hopefully it will be easier to keep them as friends then when my mom went to college.

Too Much!!

Grade 12! The last year before you start your own life! Meaning this is the year you make all your decisions for what you want to do in the future. But the main thing is our GRADES!!! Our grades are a crucial factor in wether we get accepted to college/university or not! This year especially we need to keep our grades up because many course don't want to accept students with less then a 69 percent. For the four classes each semester it gets to be a lot of stress because we get so much homework and projects and tests that we lose track of what's due when and then we tend to leave stuff for the last possible minute. Hense the stress which leads to failure due top the fact that your grades get pretty bad. With all the homework and projects I`ve done since the beginning of the year, I've handed in approximately 7 of them in late because so many other projects were due around the same time. I'm starting to learn how to cope with the work overload by doing my work slowly and not staying up until 3 o'clock in the morning on a school night. But is it enough, i really don't know! Not quite yet anyways. All I know is that grade 12 comes with a lot of stress so it's better to prepare yourselves in the earlier grades by studying and such because once you hit grade 12, if you slacked off all the other years, you'll notice that your grades matter and in order to get good grades you need to actually do your work!!! 

Life Theory!!

This morning, I was asked by this lady what my intake on life was, meaning what I thought life was like. I find that, that is an amazing question because it makes you think about the things you've done in life and the things you have or the people you have in your life. Because I wasn't into giving any details, I told her my theory on what I think life is truly like. My theory of life is, that life is like a tree we grow older and stronger within time but as we do, we come across many decision that we need to make and many time we can't decide, and there are no right or wrong decisions, there is just your decision and if it ends up not working out you can't always let go and go back. Now the tree comes into context because a tree grows older and stronger and branches off in many directions. I grew up believing this because I find it to be true. I don't know if anyone else thinks the same but when I was younger I came up with this theory and now that I'm somewhat older, I truly believe it due to all my past problems, relationships, friendships, etc. But as I let the past fall, I go back and let the present flourish, and the future be because the present is what matters most because at any moment, you can fall and break down, because the past is never left undone and sometimes, things can just come and spring up on you.

FEAR FEST!!

Canada's Wonderland is an amazing theme park. It has so many rides and attractions that makes it worth the amount you pay to get in. But every October, they have what they call Fear Fest! Fear fest in other words is halloween haunt! The workers dress up all scary and walk around scaring people or they're in mazes that you can go in and be extremely scared! Fear fest is amazing! I went on saturday with my sister, her boyfriend, and my friend although I didn't stay around with my sister and her boyfriend because me friend and I wanted to enjoy the mazes. The only thing that sucks about Canada's Wonderland is the crazy line ups for rides and especially the mazes! For the 4 hours we were there, we only had enough time to see 4 mazes and we didn't get to go on any rides! But it was okay because I usually, rarely get scared but as soon as we got into our first maze it was super scared because I wasn't paying attention and BAM someone pops out of nowhere! I'm just glad it didn't really rain because the first time I ever went to fear fest, it rained non-stop and I got a really bad cold. But now this time was better, I was able to enjoy it more. If anyone ever has the chance to go to fear fest, I strongly suggest you do but if you want to be able to do more, then go on a friday because less people go. Saturday though, the park is jammed pack!

SAW VI Follow Up!!

So Friday I went to the movies to go and see Saw V! and boys!, was it ever packed! I went 40 minutes earlier because I knew that there would be somewhat of a line but I never expected it to take me a half hour just to buy my ticket! Of course not everyone was there to go and see saw! After I got my ticket I didn't get anything to drink because the concession stand line was ridiculous! I just went right to the theatre to find a seat. The movie started 15 minutes later because of the ticket sales. But once it started I was so intrigued, Watching saw on the big screen was way better then a little TV. I really enjoyed this movie because it wasn't as predictable as the other ones. I couldn't believe the turn out of this movie. Now usually I would go in detail and tell you about the movie but you should definitely go and see it for yourself! If I was ever in a situation like so where I would lets say cut off the most weight in body parts to survive, I don't think i would be able to, not my arm, not my stomach, no I wouldn't be able to. But Saw VI is most definitely my favorite of them all!!! For now of course because rumor has it that the SAW saga is going up to 8 movies in total! Can't wait! Although I'm also hoping that with the amount of Saw movies already out, that with the other to coming out sometime soon, that they get better and not lamer.

SAW VI!!

For about a month now, I've been eager to go and see Saw VI! After i saw the first Saw movie in 2004, I fell in love with the movie! It's so disturbing and gross that it makes it interesting. I love every single one of the Saw movies, each one has it's own unique touch. So far my favorite one is the 5th because it made me curl up in a ball. On friday I'm going to see it, if it's not sold out. I just can't wait it looks so good but this is going to be the first saw movie I watch at the theatres!

Long Distance Relationships!!

Okay so my school has leadership camps everyone once in a while and I enjoy attending these camps. Why you might ask. Well I get to meet other kids from the french schools in our district and usually I tend to hang out with them afterwards. I`ve been texting this really sweet guy for a while and he asked me out. Of course i said no at first because he lives pretty far away and I think he's creepy but sweet and very nice. So this morning i told him yes I would go out with him because were going to be seeing quite a bit of each other considering we made plans to hang out anyways. I'm not saying it's going to last because he does live all the way in Hamilton and I live in Oshawa so most definitely a long commute. My best friend is also going out with someone she met at one of those camps but I'm not er so i don't know how wel mine is going to be but all i can do is hope for the best time together and take it day by day.

Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday was my birthday and it was fun up to the minute I got home! My parents planned on taking me out to East Side Mario's but once we got to the end of my street only to turn onto a busy road, our car went completely DEAD!! So we got out of the car and started pushing!! First of all we were pushing the front end of the car so it's more awkward and secondly we were pushing the car up a hill filled with turns!! What a way to say Happy seventeenth right? It was horrible but once we got home we took my sister's car only to find out on our way there that she has a flat tire! Nothing seems to be working out for us but we still managed to go to East Side Mario's! And East Side's has changed since the last time I was there because they upped their prices and down sized the plates! Plus it tasted really bad! But at least i can now say that I'm SEVENTEEN!!!!!

32% Downloaded!!

Everyone downloads music nowadays, wether it's off of limewire, itunes, or any other downloading system, it takes a long time, especially if you're downloading like a whole whack of music at once. Of course it takes less time then games, and applications. This semester I'm taking a computer programming class and our first unit is computer hardware and partitioning. In class i'm the only girl so I kind of just sit myself out of stuff to let all the guys just fiddle around with the old computer, anyways I heard about this system called Linux. Linux is just like windows, except it's free!! Yes that's right FREE!! Such a nice word!! FREE!!! So I decided to download Linux except I didn't know you had to burn it on a cd first and then partition you computer to work with the system you had before and linux, so three hours ago I started downloading it onto my CD and it is only at thirty-two percent!! And I thought music took a long time, now I know I'd rather of downloaded music then this system that might not even work. I don't know yet because I haven't tried to partition my computer. But hopefully all this waiting is worth it!!

What To Do??!!

When I was in elementary school, I had only one enemy, her name was Natalie. I got into high school and all that changed because me and her share laughs like every night. Anyways, it's her birthday on thursday and she's turning seventeen. She hasn't had a birthday party in a while so I decided to trow her a surprise birthday party. What a surprise it's going to be...the day I decided to organize it, I told her that I was throwing her one...oopsy my bad! I just can't keep that type of thing from her. So I invited some of her friends and such to come over, listen to music, play games, and celebrate Nat's birthday. Usually when I hangout with friends, I don't do much but I want this to be different, I even uninvited this one girl that always causes drama, because I don't want any pointless drama at the party. Back to what I was saying, I don't want it too be boring either, so I need to come up with some games and fast because all I have so far is football and soccer at the park, truth or dare, and a surprise game that's fun but I don't want anyone to know about it until the party. Still I don't have enough and I don't want people to get bored so if you know of any fun, hilarious, or even interesting games or activities that I could do, please let me know!!

Sad But True!!

Okay so right now, everyone at my school is raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation. Our school is especially serious about it this year because our vice-principal's three year old son had a brain tumor and it was cancerous. So everything that is talked about, revolves around cancer this, cancer that. Okay fine cancer is serious, I'm not saying it isn't but by now you'd think they have the cure for cancer. And it's not just that, cancer seems to be talked about a lot but what about all the other incurable diseases, such as for example, tuberculosis, that's pretty serious and scary. It's something in your lungs that's contagious and many people have it just don't know it quite yet until they start coughing up blood or sudden weight loss, etc. And like anyone can actually be transmitting the disease instead of being effected by it. But I think that higher status people need to start warning other people about all the diseases out there and illnesses because everyone should get checked and find out. So many people are dying from cancer, diseases, and even unknown illnesses. It's a scary thing to think that you might actually be starting to get seriously sick and you don't even know it. Like I always say it's better to know now then later on, when it's too late. But people dying, sicknesses, diseases, tumors, etc... are upsetting and changes lives. This is most definetely something that not even music could fix.!

Nothing Special But This Is What I Call Hanging Out!! Photo Essay!!

Let's Hang...Or Climb!

   I like to hang out with my friends as much as I can and I prefer to have sleepovers because then, we have more time to chill. One problem though, most of my good friends are guys. After quite some time of begging, my parents finally let me have guys sleepover at my house and the very first one was quite interesting. So one day my best friend Tanya comes over and we decide to go on the computer, on msn my very good friends Patrique and Mathew were on and Mathew doesn’t live too far away from me so we invited him over and so we convinced Pat to get his bum down to Mathew’s house so we can all hang out. So once they guys get to my place, we head to the park that’s like 2 houses away, and instead of taking the stairs up the park, they climb from the sides. They have to make things more difficult for themselves.

My Hips Are Stuck!

   At the park close to my house, there’s a jungle gym that contains a few slides and a bridge. Then right beside the jungle gym, there’s a tiny set of monkey bars, which Tanya loves to try to climb up onto but clearly fails. Except this time was hilarious because just before she went for this jump, we were talking about how she wants to get her hips pierced but it would most likely be painful. So when she goes and jumps, her hips get stuck on the bars which prevented her from moving any further.

Fail...!

   Every time I have people at my house, we always go to the park because it’s always fun to be outside, and considering there’s nothing really fun about the park, we always laugh when someone does something pathetic. Sometimes, that pathetic thing could be a major fail. Plus a major fail could be something like, let’s say after many attempts of getting up on the monkey bars, you fail getting off the monkey bars by falling on your back because your foot got stuck on the bars. So instead of staying at the park for any longer laughing our bums off because of Tanya’s fails, we go back to my place.

Yawn!...I've Seen This Movie Before!

   After such a long and gruesome walk from the park back to my place, so let’s see about twenty whole steps, we walk inside only to always, always go downstairs to my rec. room, which is dark purple room and has my computer, a TV, and a futon in it, so clearly not much to do. But somehow, we always manage to do something. Although usually it starts out pretty bumpy because we don’t really do anything, all we do is watch a movie and the movie is usually pretty boring so boring that the only person interested in the movie was Mathew because he’s the one that picked the movie out of my one thousand DVD’s. Although I’m not too certain even Mathew was interested in the movie.

Movie Is Too Boring So MSN It Is!

   Considering no one was really into the movie except for Mat, Patrique decided to just go on my computer without asking me. How rude right? It’s okay because I don’t really mind if they go on my computer. But of course, he has to go on stinking, annoying, and stunted msn! Of course it was pretty late at night, sort of; I don’t really remember the time; anyways because I was so bored I was trying to get him mad because it’s funny when I push his buttons. He didn’t get mad at me because he was out of it, and really into his conversation.

Human Cushion!

   The movie was taking forever to finish, but Mathew was still watching it, he never took his eyes off the TV, I think. Because Tanya and I were bored and Pat was on the computer, we were desperate to be entertained so once Pat left for the bathroom, Tanya stole his spot at the computer and signed him off msn. Of course Pat didn’t even care; he sat right on Tanya and signed himself back onto msn.


Ouch!...Your Butt Is Too Bony!

   Even though he was on msn, he was also pretty bored still. Considering he didn’t want to get off of Tanya, he decided to dig his nonexistent, bony butt into her legs which is was hilarious because she screeched so loud but also funnily because her voice had cracked. So after waiting so long for the movie to finish, it finally did.

Let's Sleep!

   Once the movie finished, everyone was so tired that Tanya and I went upstairs to the living room to sleep on my couch, while Pat and Mat got to sleep in the basement rec. room. Pat slept on the futon while Mat slept on the floor because according to him my floor is super comfy, I like to think otherwise. We went to bed around two o’clock in the morning.

Get Up!

   So at six o’clock in the morning, I woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep so I went downstairs, and got Mathew up first because it wasn’t very difficult but the biggest challenge wasn’t to wake Pat up, but instead it was to get his behind up and out of bed. Reason to get up also was the fact that my dad had prepared some pancakes. Too many pancakes to be exact! I was the only person who ate only one pancake because my dad forced all the other ones in their plates.

What The...Too Tired!

   After breakfast, we went back downstairs because Tanya and Mathew were still tired. Patrique was also tired but I wouldn’t let him go back to bed so he went on msn instead and he was so out of it that when I said his name he took a good five minutes before he would respond. Okay maybe five minutes is an exaggeration, but still he took a while.


We Need Music!

   After I kicked Pat off the computer because I found that once he started playing music on YouTube, it was getting annoying because it was too early in the morning for music. Pat of course thought different because he said fine to getting off the computer but dummy me, he went right to my stereo and turned on the CD player because he knew there were CDs in there. It’s okay though because I turned off the power bar so we just went outside and waited for everyone to leave.

Camp Fire Stealer!!

Okay so right now, I'm in the middle of cleaning the upstairs, and when I clean, only when I'm home alone, I like to listen to music. So I have my TV on Much More Music, and a song comes on that sounded familiar. Does anyone remember the old camp song Hole In The Bucket? Well to refresh your memory, the song goes like this:

♫♪"There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza, dear Liza!

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole!

Well, then, fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry!

Well, then, fix it dear Henry. Dear Henry, fix it!

With what shall I fix it dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I fix it? Dear Liza, with what?..."♫♪

Well I surely remember it! And then on Much More Music, I was listening to the top ten music videos of this week and came to realize that number five is called Bucket by Canadian Idol Carly Rae Jepsen. And her song goes like this:

♫♪"There´s a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza, Dear Liza.

There´s a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza a hole..."♫♪

Of course the rest is different, but still who makes an actual song, out of a good camp song? So this girl, Carly Rae Jepsen uses an old camp song, and gets money for it. That's bogus! I don't think it's right, at all. Because I use to love singing this song at camp and such, when I was little. But then a person, Carly Rae Jepsen to be exact, goes and records the song, just changing a couple of paragraphs, and ends up getting into the top ten music videos!!! Like what is up with that! Maybe I should take a camp song, change some stuff, record it, make a video, and then make some good money!! But I would never actually do that because, I know it's wrong to steal someone else work!!!

Can't Get You Out Of My Head!!

Okay so I just got back not long ago from the movies, I went to see Gamer with a few of my good friends. The only thing is, my one friend and I, we weren't quite sure if we were going or not so when I found out that we were able to go, we left pretty early, not that we had the choice, but the thing is we told the guys that we weren't able to go so they wouldn't be expecting us. So when my friend and I were waiting outside the actual theatre room, we sat on the bench. One thing I hate about theatres, is that they play music all the time, okay well that's not really the problem. The real problem is that the music they pick is like old songs that you haven't heard in a while and once you hear them one single time, they get stuck in your head forever and you even start to sing them. Today, that's what happened to my friend and I, but like seriously all the songs that they were playing, got stuck in our heads, because after the movie, I was sort of singing them, but thankfully no one caught me.!!=P But honestly, it sort of aggravates me when I have songs stuck in my head and all I'm doing is singing it, and sometimes dancing to it.=S I don't like anywhere you go, they have music playing, and don't go and tell me that you never catch yourself singing the song that you heard not long ago, from the place you just went to. That's what I thought, it happens to the best of us!! Laugh out loud!! Jsut kiding but seriously it happens to so many people. I wonder if there is a scientifical type of explanation for that...who knows...well the scientist that has the explanation i suppose...whatever.

Pretty Sweet Deal!!

Okay so not long it was my sister and her boyfriends three year anniversary, and they went away to Niagara Falls. Rich, my sisters boyfriend, got my sister a ring and a purse and my sister got her boyfriend a classical guitar, whatever that is, and a recording session at his studio and tips and advice from him. The him though that I'm talking about is Dave Baksh, who use to be the lead guitarist for Sum 41. Amazing, I know!! You might be asking yourselves how my sister got this connection...Well my sister when she first started high school, she joined a musical theater group called Heart n' Soul. Heart n' Soul was formed in ajax and they sang songs and danced to raise money for local charities. Many young and old talented people jined the group and one of them, who happened to be just a year or two older then my sister. was Dave's little sister. And considering his little sister and my sister became friends, my sister got to meet Dave several times and then when she mentioned not that long ago, that it was her anniversary and that her boyfriend likes to play guitar, Dave told my sister that she should bring him down to his recording studio and that he should record a couple songs with the help and advice from Dave. So my sister decided to take him up on that offer and now my sister's boyfriend has a chance to learn a couple of tricks from what I think to be a great guitarist.

I`d Rather Music!!

I’m a big person on the fact that music is good to listen to when you want to work or do homework. For me it most definitely keeps me concentrated on my work and actually it makes me work faster, in fact. But yesterday in my French class, we had a supply teacher because are teacher has come back from vacation yet. Anyways my class is pretty small so you would think that it wouldn’t be hard to get the class to stop talking and to just work. Well think again, the supply gave us a text to read and some questions, simple, I know. Instead of working, the rest of the class kept on talking. That’s fine to talk in class; it doesn’t bother me at all. But they were making fun of the poor supply and this one guy was being super loud and I’ve known him since kindergarten so I’m quite use to his talking, but yesterday he was being so loud and saying the most inappropriate things that I just snapped and lost it on him, he got pretty shocked because everyone thinks I’m so good that I would never swear but because I was so pissed off, I swore and he was just like Oh my god! Then after that in math class I wouldn’t even really let him say one word without me saying stop. Why? Because he was annoying all day, until the bus ride home he had his music on and for once he didn’t say a word for the entire bus ride home and usually he’s even louder on the bus, but I think he knew I would snap at him again. I have to say I can’t stand not working and usually my music is loud but this guy was too darn annoying. And I have to say I sort of feel sorry because yesterday it was his birthday!!

Let It Go!!

This blog is quite random but still I think it’s pretty necessary. Lately, I’ve been reading many people’s blogs because well I quite frankly have no life and plus it’s for my English project. But anyways, I came across the fact that many people are talking about depression. Personally I have been depressed for a long time and like once I got help, I realized that getting help and talking to counselors and such is actually more stressful then keeping it bottled in. But then yet from experience, I know that keeping things bottled up inside for a pretty long time makes the stress and emotions take over and make you think terrible things, but when your friends and even teachers ask what’s wrong, you will eventually break down and just say it. But seriously its best if you find someone you can trust and just tell them what’s on your mind because many people suffering from depression tend to get so fed up with the stress that’s involved with it, that they start having suicidal thoughts. If you ever come close to those thoughts, talk to someone, it’s the least you can do. Even before you have those thoughts, if you’re ever start to get depressed, talk to someone, save yourself from those thoughts. And if you really hate talking then listen to some great music. Put your i-pod or Mp3 on shuffle and let the thoughts just melt away with the music =D

Jonas Brothers!!

Okay so today I was watching wizards of waverly place because my mom and sister actually like that show. Scary I know! Anyways before the show there was a music video that played and it was called Paranoid. Paranoid is sung by the Jonas Brothers. I personnaly despise the Jonas Brothers so after I saw this video I decided to put in the goole search bar for images "jonas brothers hate" and I found many pictures that were drawn all over but also some were inappropriate so I just decided to show the one that said that they sucked. I think they suck to but they seem to be making a whole lot of money for what I find to be doing nothing. They've had a couple of album releases, fine okay whatever, and they have their movie Camp rock. But seriously did they really have to go and get their own show about them being rockstars and still being able to go to school. Seriously that show is pathetic and pointless. I will admit that a year ago, I bought their CD that has the songs Lovebug, Video girl, and much others but I don't listen to it anymore. Why? because I realized that their music is very whinny. And like thier music might possibly last for a long time but I think that the band will start to split up once the oldest Jonas, Kevin will get married. Considering he is engaged now, oh and while watching MTV Live, I found out that he's getting married on new years eve, it won''t be long before the Jonas brothers are going to try to go their own ways and only come to realize that it won't work out. Although Joe Jonas might possibly be able to get into acting. But back to what I was saying before, the Jonas Brothers have talent, fine, but their style of singing sucks! I really don't see why people like them as much as they do, but then yet it may have something to do with the fact that none of them truly don't look that bad. Although many people say it's Joe and if not Nick but I find that the hotter one is Kevin. If you want to see their concert go right ahead. I personnally won't ever go and see one of their shows but hey, who am I to stop you from going, right? So if you go good for you and if you would never go anywhere near a Jonas brother concert then well actually good for you to. All I have to say though at this moment, I am proud to be a Jonas Brother hater! If you hate me for hating them then that's your opinion, and so to make my point all I want to say is that this is my opinion on the Jonas Brothers so if you hate it then cool, I don't care!

Sean Kingston!!

Remember a couple years back when everyone was singing “You’re way too beautiful girl. That’s why you and I would never work’. Well I do! When Sean Kingston came out with the song Beautiful Girl, I swear to the heavens on earth, I must have heard that song like a million times each day for a couple of months. But then after that song, Sean Kingston just kind of disappeared into the oblivion, until now, because he’s back with his new top hit Fire Burning. I find that Sean Kingston has only two hits because his other songs aren’t that great! Seriously they aren’t that great. But it won’t be long before Fire Burning, burns out. But for now I have to admit the song is pretty darn catchy and the dancing in the video is super repetitive. Because each time he sings “Fire burning, fire burning, on the dance floor. That little shawty’s fire burning on the dance floor.” they move the same way each and every time. Sean Kingston really gets me mad because his songs are so catchy that they get very annoying and last night on much more music, they showed their top 5 music videos of the week and Sean Kingston was number one and that right there is bologna! His song is so repetitive it’s not even funny. Honestly people say that they love this song but I don’t understand why because it is super annoying. Just wait until the next hit songs come then Sean Kingston and his Fire Burning will just poof and vanish! Can’t wait until then! But seriously if you want to go and see him in concert then that is up to you but me I know that is one concert I wouldn’t go and see. And thankfully he doesn’t seem to have any shows scheduled in Ontario, anytime soon. But seriously, I think that Sean Kingston is only going to ever have several, if not, then a couple one hit wonders. He’s half way there!

Three Days Grace!!

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart and found a CD that I've been looking for a long time. The CD is titled One-X and it’s by Three Days Grace. I’ve always liked TDG but never knew how many good songs they had until last year, when I had to do a project in my music class on a band of my choice, now I had a hard time choosing, so I asked my friend and he told me to do it on Three Days Grace. So I decided then to do it on TDG and I fell in love with every single one of their songs! Ever since then, I’ve been searching for their CD One-X because it has the most of their better songs, so then while I was waiting for my mom to finish work I was browsing the CD section and found but one CD left so I grab it, of course it cost me twenty bucks, I’m still in love with it. Listening to the CD, I realized that my favorite song from them is Never Too Late. I really don’t know why, but the song kind of speaks to me. The song sends out the message that even being in a depressive state there is always time to change that. Not only that I think I can sort of relate to the song because just last year I went through a very difficult thing that made me very depressed and it was so bad that I was so stressed until a friend of mine and one of my teachers helped me out and got me the help I needed to be happy. Of course stuff is still going on that makes me depressed, I just think of that song and not just that I think of them and I realize the people that I’m hurting(like they talk about in their song Pain). So I guess that I just seem to really like Three Days Grace because I understand the songs and I feel the emotions that come with it. I would most definitely like to see Three Days Grace but this year is very hectic for me so I won’t really be able to see any shows. Unfortunately, Three Days Grace isn’t scheduled to have any shows, anytime soon. But if you ever get bored and have nothing to do, then just put on some Three Days Grace and listen to the message in all their songs, and you’ll love what you hear. I definitely do!!! But oh my goodness! I just found out that they release a new CD called Life Starts Now and it hits stores worldwide, Spetember 22th, 2009! I am definitely getting one!:D

Pink!!

Ever since I was little I adored the singer Pink! It started with her song "Get the party started" from her second album M!ssundaztood and continued until this very day with her new album Funhouse. Not too long ago her song "So what" was extremely popular and even I loved the song but stupid me, I never really knew if she was going to make another CD, until now. I was watching MTV Live one day and saw a new music video for her song "Funhouse" and right away I got attached to the song. And this morning on the bus I had my Mp3 on shuffle and I think I must have heard that song at least like five times. Pink I find it such a beautiful person, she always has been but I find she kind of went through stages where she didn't look as good as other times, but the way she looks now, I find she looks amazing. Her CD Funhouse and all it's songs were based on her breakup with her husband Carey Hart, although not long after she wrote the songs, she got back together with him, which I find is perfectly okay because she got one heck of a hit out of it. The album Funhouse, I find is her CD with the most hits. Because she currently has "Please don't leave me", "Funhouse", "So what", and "Sober". Although her other CD's had quite a few hits themselves, I think Funhouse had the most, but then again I could possibly be mistaken. But I have to say that right now, I am completely obssessed with the song "Funhouse". Why? Because it's so catchy and I adore the beat because it's so like, i don't know, upbeat and like woohoo ya! type deal. But the video for this song, I have to admit, kind of scares me because okay fine it "use to be a funhouse,but now it's full of evil clowns" whatever but they shouldn't of made those clowns so darn evil a.k.a scary looking. They literaly freak me out everytime I look at the music video because they look fake but like there is obviously people in them, and like half the time they don't even move which freaks me out even more, and like their yellow glowing eyes, what is up with that. Has anybody noticed how pretty and hot Pink looks in this video, like seriously she looks amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw her in this video. And like usually I hate short hair like that on girls but she now pulls it off amazingly! Seriously before it looked okay her short hair but the pink, then the black, and then the dirty color didn't look so great but now her bleach blonde hair looks amazing in a faux hawk. Her new album Funhouse is most definitely her best album yet because it's not so down throughout most of the CD but instead most of this CD is very upbeat and like anger relieving. It's so amazing! If I ever find out that Pink is coming on tour anywhere near here, I will most definitely be like the first one in line for her tickets. Pink is such and AMAZING singer! As Pink continues her Funhouse tour, she kicks off in Canada starting in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre,  September 30th. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.ticketmaster.ca/. Once again I will be missing out from what I expect to be an Amazing concert. But if you do happen to attend, hope you enjoy such an amazing singer.!

Marianas Trench!!

This morning, we started our blog projects in English class. I had no idea what I truly wanted to write about until I got home and started to do my math homework. Every time I do homework, I listen to music and when the song “All to myself” came on the idea of writing about music came to me. Considering it’s the song that gave me the idea, I decided to do my first blog post on the band Marianas Trench. Marianas Trench is a Canadian band from Vancouver. I first heard about the band while watching MTV Live one day, but I had actually heard the song “All to myself” before that in the car. When I first heard the song I thought it was good but I had also thought that it was a Jonas Brothers song. Gross I know, but then as soon as I saw the video on MTV Live, I fell in love with the band because I personally find the lead singer Josh Ramsay, to be very attractive. Although, at first, I found the video to be quite weird because it occurs in an office, and for a punk band, a video in an office looking like nerds, kind of seems a little off but near the end he ends up looking amazing ! So when I looked the band up on Google I found out that they had more songs that are also amazing such as “Cross my heart”, “Shake Tramp”, “Decided to break it”, and “Say anything”. But the only other music video I’ve seen from Marianas Trench is for “Cross my heart” and that music video is pretty interesting, because in the video they’re walking down streets following a girl. Although the thing I really like about that video is that Josh Ramsay looks hot! Honestly I saw the video “All to myself” for the first time and as soon as he became punk, my jaw just dropped.Also his tongue piercing is, I don't know why, but his tongue piercing is very hot on him, he looks ridiculously amazing on him. And like usually I don’t like guys with blue in their hair but he pulls it off. And out of the other people in the band he is the most gorgeous, unlike the guy with the orange color mini-afro. Now that guy pisses me off, because I find that he ruins the band. Okay maybe not ruin but I hate seeing him in the videos, because for a drummer, you see him quite a bit. Anyways, back to what I was saying about the band. Oh yes, Marianas Trench is most definitely an amazing band. Even the beat of their songs get you interested in listening to them and not so much the words but after a while the words seem to catch on and it’s just like oh my goodness, they are really good. But I most definitely give this band two thumbs up and if I had more thumbs then I would give then like twenty thumbs up but like I said I am only a human being so I only have two thumbs to give to Marianas Trench. And just a little reminder that Marianas Trench's second album Masterpiece Theater goes on tour this year and is appearing in Toronto on Saturday, October 10th, 2009 at the Sound Academy. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.livenation.com/edp/eventId/412327. It's going to be amazing but unfortunately I will not be attending this concert due to the fact that it's during thanksgiving weekend. It sucks, I know, considering their album Masterpiece Theater includes their songs "All to myself" and "Cross my heart".
