Eat good and healthy food

October 31st, 2006 at 02:40 pm

I keep eating the wrong food. Today I ate spaghetti and a cupcake at lunch but I couldn't resist it, it was so good. Anyone know good healthy receipit and easy to cook ?

Also, I need to meet more people... My cousin said that maybe that's the reason why I'm lonely sometimes. I guess I need to interact with people more.

Lazy Monday

October 30th, 2006 at 03:14 pm

I took my graduation picture today. The photographer makes me laugh and I took three different poses. My economie teacher filmed me while the photographer was moving my head trying to get the right pose, it was so funny! I can't wait to see the result on the 5th December. It's going to cost me 45$ for 36 pictures of me in different sizes.

Today at school, we didn't work much but in Spanish class, I was frustrated that my team was writting a stupid story about pot and they used a lot of De pronto "Suddendly" in the story, so I didn't even bother helping out. The teacher didn't like it but she said the good thing about it, it's constant and it doesn't always follow the same verbs... Okay whatever. Math class was alright, I could understand half of what the teacher was explaining but I'm beginning to slowly understanding the subject in general. Gym was alright, I tried playing hockey and I hold the stick wrong but I did play... Not good at it though.

After school, I went to Tim Hortons with my cousin and sister to get muffins for tomorrow breakfast, I used my 50% off to buy it, so it makes 4.35$ for twelve muffins. When I went back home, I took a muffin and made some soup to eat... I realise that these few days, I was eating whatever I could find in the house... I think I'm going to gain weight soon. .______." I need to start eating healthy and start doing sport or else, I will have a hard time losing it.

Not to mention my spending challenge hasn't been going well lately, I didn't even put a single dollars since the 28th of October. I need to stop spending money >.

Windy Sunday

October 29th, 2006 at 07:11 pm

It's really windy outside now. On my way to work, the wind was so strong that I felt my body lifting through the air, it was that strong. Scary. xD

Today at work was not bad but I had some few problems handling customers with big orders and I sometime forgot their orders.There's even some customers that got attitude problem. I was nice enought to let it go until a guy wanted to buy twelve bagels and all I knew was toasted or normal ones, he gave me a big "hello, are you stupid or something" attitude, and I had it so I said : Look, I'm new here and I don't know everything here, so I'm going to ask someone! I'm usually the quiet non spoken one but I was getting really pissed. The one that pissed me off the most is a lady, don't know if she's Indian or Arabic, but she was speaking very soft and I couldn't hear her well. She orders timbits and she was pointing at the things she wanted and she said : Are you looking where I'm pointing?! I said yes but the direction she's pointing, there's so many timbits, just name them damn it! Read the damn tag on my shirt and it said " In training"! That means I'm new and I'm trying to learn how the system works here. Don't expect me to know everything just like that.

Working twice a week from now on

October 28th, 2006 at 01:45 pm

I got my second paycheck today and the boss asked me to work on Sunday's too so I can finish my training a lot faster and I agree with him... But the way he talked to me was weird... Like he thinks I don't understand French that well. Okay, I admit I don't talk much because I'm a shy person but whatever you say, I understand! Don't need to give me a broad explanation about why I should work twice a week, I understand. Geez... Everyone at work think I came from an asian country because of my accent, it's neither Chinese or Quebec accent, it's my own accent god damn it!

Anyways, one of my coworkers who's working after my shift is going back to school soon to become a nurse. Haha, I can't picture him as a nurse but he's funny and sweet. I love his gorgeous blue eyes, everytime I look at it, I start to laugh. Yes weird reaction, I know. I would like to date him but he's 24 and he's not my type of guy. Ah well, he is cute though.

So yeah... I spend 5.17$ for breakfast and lunch there, not bad though. I tried their Timbreakfast saucisage, a bottle of orange juige. For lunch, I ate a chicken wrap with a bottle of punch juice. I was not really full but it was enought to keep me moving through the day.

My money challenge of today is... Wake up early 2$. That makes 202$!!

Brother's spending habit

October 27th, 2006 at 03:08 pm

Today, I went to take the bus with my brother to sign up for a membership card at blockbuster, turned out I need to be 18 years old. I was pissed for wasting my 2$ for nothing and my brother wanted me to go back with him another time. I don't want to go back, not for a long long time, because I don't see the point of wasting 2$ on transportation just to get a membership card there when he can do it by himself.

After blockbuster, my brother wanted to buy an aquarium for his new fish and a couple of things. His total spending is around 40$! I wonder where he got the money... Eum.. From his piggy bank saving. He took my advice to put all his coins in his piggy bank but he end up using them all... Not that he was saving for anything particular but to continue his spending on things that he wants. He even told me after that he should start saving his money... Okay, you just spent 40 something on aquarium, now you have five aquarium at home, a tons of fish... What else? He wants to buy another aquarium for other fishes that he's planning to buy in the future. Now he's broke and he's waiting for his paycheck to arrive next week. I wonder if he'll spend his money again on aquarium.

He asked me advice on helping him to buy carbon thingy for his fish, buy a big bag that cost five times more than the small bag, I gave him my thoughts and I asked him questions such as : Are you going to keep your fishes for a long time or are they only temporary ? If you're planning to keep them for a long time, say more than five years, take the big one, it'll save you hep of money, if you're planning to keep them less than five, then buy the small pack. He chose the small pack.. The reason he asked me this is because he wants me to pratice my financial skill with him since I'm planning to be a financial planner and he needed my help to decide. I told him that a financial planner doesn't help you with your purchases, they help you when you have problem with your money or you're planning to do something in the future, etc.... Geez, brother sure doesn't know the difference... He'll be a perfect psychologie guy but I don't think he'll know the value of the dollar anytime soon. I still love him as he is but he needs help saving his money... He spends too much.

Join or not join the military part-time force

October 27th, 2006 at 08:24 am

I'm interested in the job that they offer as part of the formation but it requires a lot of training when I'm there. It seems attractive but I'm not really willing to spend two weekend and two tuesday night to serve there because I may have a lot of homework, not to mention my work at Tim Hortons, also, I'm not willing to spend summers in a camp since I won't get to spend a lot of time with my friends... I remember I joined the Cadet air three years ago and I hate it but this one is way different because I get to do something I like, food is included, we don't just stand around and do nothing, I get to learn something that I'm interested... Don't forget that I get pay 80$/day there, so that makes 10 000$/ year..Still it looks pretty flexible for most people but not me since I can get tons of homework a weekend and another, I get none. I'm not willing to quit my job at Tim Hortons either, I just started a few weeks ago and I like it here so far.

If I join the military as a reservist, I get a lot of benefits... Maybe I could join in the summer to see what it likes. I'm not much of a fan of the discipline but to get to drive a military car seems wicked hehe.. or learn to cook good nutrition foods... or maybe work in an office. Tim Hortons doesn't offer much but the 50% off and the tips, not to forget the employers are easy going.

Around the world in 365 days...?

October 24th, 2006 at 02:54 pm

My French teacher gave us a personal project where we get to choose to do whatever we like and how we like it, although there'll be restriction... I don't know what kind of restriction though...

Anyways, I wanted to do a project about Finance but it's way too broad the subject and too complex to present to the whole class. My friends gave me hints to do on Tourism like... How do we plan a trip, then I got a terrific idea, a world trip.

The name : Around the world in 365 days...?

I'm going to start planning the steps that I'll take to plan my trip and visit the tourism agency and stuff like that, but it involves money too... Like how to save for a big trip like this. I need your help guys =)!!

I have until the third week of December to show it to the class... and I'm going to start this Friday.

Unnecessary spending

October 23rd, 2006 at 02:00 pm

I spend a lot on food alone today. I ate lunch which was suppose to be 3.25$ but I have to have the vegetables as a snack, so that makes 1.15$ = 4.40$... Then I went to the library, I wanted to buy a hot chocolate milk, it pours chocolate milk but there was no cup that goes with it!! Arrg... Then I bought a chocolate bar that cost me 2$, it was gross... Then I bought an orange juice and it`s too concentrated and it costed me 1.75$.

In total I waste 9.15$ on food!! I got into my spending mood today X_X'... I'll bring only 3.25$ to school starting tomorrow. I have to start buying groceries for my lunch after this week end. *sigh* Need to start saving on lunch alone. Not to forget to bring my own snack.

Trying to keep myself sane.

October 22nd, 2006 at 05:45 pm

I studied for French already and I have 10 pages left then I'm done. I'm trying to do my math homework for tomorrow, and my grandpa was talking loudly on the phone, I told him to stop and he lower his voice but still loud enough to break my concentration. I asked him if he could shut up and hang up the phone but he wouldn't listen. I closed the door and it was still loud enough. He spent an hour and a half talking about people problems while I was trying to understand the math subject. What the hell... I hate my life here with my family sometimes that I feel like moving out... My dad and my grandpa are the ones that annoy me the most, and my brother... He's so irresponsable.

I think I'm going insane just staying in this house. I yelled a lot and get stressed a lot because those two are really inconsiderated to others. I can't wait till the term is over, so I can have three days off and be ready for the second term. From now on, I'm going to the library to study on Monday,Tuesday,Thursday,Friday and Sunday, I can't stand staying in this house, it's driving me nuts.

With this much stress,I'm beginning to think I should go travel somewhere next summer, like take a trip that doesn't have to do with study, but just relax. I'm going to ask my dad to help me pay for the small trip like a week or two. I need to keep myself sane from now on...

Lack motivation

October 22nd, 2006 at 09:12 am

I have French exam tomorrow and math exam on Wednesday. Right now, I have a project that I'm almost done, two more pages left. I don't want to study or anything... I want to earn money and travel >.

Day 3 at Tim Hortons

October 21st, 2006 at 01:00 pm

I learned how to make sandwiches hehe... I bought lunch there also and I made my own sandwich!! Hehe!! Chicken wrap + orange juice w/ the 50% off = 3.04$. I saved half of this price. Maybe I should put it on my challenge money the 3$ that I just saved and another 1$ for waking up early.

Challenge total is : 2$ for good mark on october 17th and 4$ for today.

That makes : 196$

It's hard to love myself

October 16th, 2006 at 07:29 pm

I accidently scratch my dry skin that contain an old acne and I think I made another scar, I hope it doesn't stay permanent. I looked at the mirror and found a lot of scars that are pretty deep from my old mistakes two years ago. Maybe they're permanent, but they healed a little bit, but now I feel like there's no hope saving my acne scars... There's surgeries, I know but I did two surgeries, one is comestic and another one is plastic surgery to fix my broken toes. It didn't change me a bit... If you look at my old picture till now, I still look the same except one small detail that's usually not visible in photos. My ears don't stick out anymore. Not many people know.

So yeah... I'd like to find a product to heal my scars but I don't want to go do surgeries again... The two that I did was something that has bother me for years and years and now I'm happy with how I look and for once in my life, I feel like a normal humain being. I can't help to feel like plastic for some reason... I'm not doing surgeries for anyone, only for myself and many of my friends think is wrong... "We have to love ourself for who we are." I wish they were at my place for once to see how it feels like to have these things before I fix it. I may look like I have low self esteem... Yeah I do.

I'm looking for some product to heal my scars and I currently found one that give good result to many people... I hope it'll work for me. I'm trying to love myself but those scars are not helping me feel better and my vision has gotten worst a little... I'm wearing glasses to rest my eyes. Maybe I shouldn't be so relucted to wear them before, it would have been less worst. "sigh"... I'm going to wear them from now on.

Today challenge money is :

1$/ No spend day
1$/ Cleaning day

Total : 190$

Left : 3810$!!

My first paycheck at Tim Hortons

October 15th, 2006 at 08:06 am

I got my paycheck for last week work. I only work 6.50 hours so I made 49.40$ with tax already deducted.

Now I have to put the check in the bank... Aaah, why don't they put it directly in the bank. What a pain.

Aah well, I can admire my first paycheck for now. It may not seem a lot for you guys but I only work one day last week and I got sick because of... *Ahem* girl stuff. So yeah. I'm just going to wait another two weeks to get an even better pay... Hopefully, I'm going to work a full 8 hours next week and my paycheck will have 16 hours of work done which make... around 120$ with tax already deducted. Yes!

Yesterday work was so fun. I worked 3pm to 11pm with two coworkers, a guy and a girl. The supervisor who's training me was the guy, he was so cool and I had a fun night, although a lot of bad things happend there but I'm going talk about it later because I have to finish all my homework for this week.

Forgot to add more on 20$ challenge

October 14th, 2006 at 07:23 am

From my previous post, I forgot to put 22$ that I just saved from getting a 20$ US from my dad and... 2$ saving from borrowing a metro card from a worker at my dad grocery store...

Total is 185$

Left on money challenge : 3815$ !!

Who says Friday the 13th is bad luck ?

October 13th, 2006 at 07:27 pm

I went to see my math teacher today and I got the chance to ask questions for my homework.

Today I did my French exam and I didn't have the chance to finish it, so the teacher reported it next Tuesday, she'll give around 15 min for us to finish. Yes!

After school, I missed the public bus, actually, there was too many people in the bus. I was late for a meeting with my financial advisor for an hour already. At 6 pm, I arrived and my advisor asked me if I was hungry, I said yes but I was expecting to pay but in the end, she paid. Ah well.. I'm just a kid. Hehe... Lame excuse.

Anyways, we stayed in a restaurant and I asked her questions for my homework. I was planning to be a financial planner one day, so my homework is to interview her for my ECC class and make a report on it.

I arrived home at 9pm and my dad left his wallet in the office, so being the curious me,I checked what was inside... He has a lot of credit cards @.@... That's crazy. I saw 3 bills of 20$ US, so I asked my dad if he can give me one. He said yes but he asked me to give him the exchange rate of Canadian dollars which he round it up to 30$.I checked the currency for American vs Canadian. Well guess wha? 1$ US = 0.879$ here. Yay! We're getting closer. xD How much does it cost now? 22$ Canadian for 20$ US. =P That made my day. My dad doesn't mind if he gives me the 20$ anyways, so I took it. I might put the money in my internation collection money or just use it one day when I go to the US, maybe.

To resume my day :

1. Got the chance to asked teacher for homework questions.
2. French teacher prospone exam to next Tuesday.
3. Finish my interview report with my advisor.
4. Got treat to dinner by my advisor.
5. Got 20$ US from daddy.
6. No spend day.

Who says Friday the 13th is a bad luck day ? It never was for me.

Helping my cousins to save

October 12th, 2006 at 02:50 pm

I gave some of my coupons that I took in my saving book a few days ago to my cousins and I made one of them promise to put the money they save in their piggy bank. I'm saving their future by showing them the mystery of saving. I'm so proud of myself xD.

Tomorrow she's using my coupon to see a movie with her friends that normaly cost 9-10$ on weedays and weekend except on Tuesday and Wednesday, it'll cost her 5$ for her... So she's saving 5$!! Yay!! I also gave her a coupon from Ben & Jarry ice cream to buy 2 for 1 ice cream cake. She wants to try the place, so I gave her one. I hope she'll follow what I told her to do.

I'm going to see my financial councelor to give my two checks for my two mutual funds. I'm waiting for my first check from my new job to come in... But I have to wait another week, I think. Ah well... I have to wait a few more months to get a RRSP.

Today challenge money :

No spend day : 1$
Homework done (maybe) : 2$

For now 157$ + 1$ = 158$

16th special birthday gift

October 11th, 2006 at 06:33 pm

My cousin birthday is on January 27th and I still haven't save up to give her a really nice 16th birthday gift. I'm thinking of putting aside 100$ from now on but I don't know where I can get the money exactly... I guess I'll have to think about it.

Three more weeks before the end of term.

October 11th, 2006 at 02:50 pm

Three more weeks before I can relax a little bit... The exams are rushing pretty fast. >..< I like writting.

After the programme...

October 10th, 2006 at 02:40 pm

Hey guys! I visited the school where they offer a tons of college and a few universities with their programmes.I must say, it really helps me think of what I really want to do in the future.

I'm leaning forward to the Tourisme industry and there's a school that concentrate in restauration, hotel and tourisme area. I'm thinking of going into the management but none of the programme interested me for the moment. It takes five years including sacrificing my summers to complete the area with work experience and I get to work abroad too... Not to mention, I get paid!! Hehe ^.^"...It's a small school too. Over a thousand students go to this school and not many can get in. I like to study there but I have no interested in the programme they offered... I'm going to the open house on February 5th 2007 to see if I like it there. I hope I'll get to talk to the students there and see what kind of work they do.

I'm also interested in another school... Okay. I'm only interested in that school because they're going to travel for three weeks in another country once a year. You guys know that I love to travel, so I'm a sucker with anything that has to do with traveling. About the campus... I don't like it very much just by looking at the picture but I'm going to the open house to see what they offer. The college is in French and I want to go to an English school. I might change my mind and go to a French one, depending what they offer that interest me.

Come to think of it, I'm still attracted to the Finance world. I have another five months left to decide what I want to study in and what I want to do for the rest of my life. Maybe, my love of traveling is to see the place and not working in this area. I hate guiding people to places. I don't believe in helping people discover a city with a short amount of time in their hand and I despise people relying on me to show them the places... I don't like working a travel plan for the clients. I rather make myself one base on what I like. All the jobs that relate to tourisme, none are interesting from my point of view... Hopefully, make that'll change on my visit to the open house.

Anyways, if none of the two schools work out for me. I'm going to an English cegep, the one where is located close to where I live and study commerce and become a financial advisor... Aaah, well... I'm going to search again to be more clear of the path I want to take. All I need to do now is to find a job that interested me in Tourisme or Finance.

I feel a lot more oriented in my life... I didn't regret missing the buriel. Hopefully, I didn't make a big mistake or anything.

Decision made.

October 9th, 2006 at 08:17 pm

Well people. I have made my decision and there's no turning back this time. I'm going to talk to my mother and aunt that I won't be there to see the buriel tomorrow and I'll visit her whenever I have time this month. I hope they'll understand like dad do.

I just made my decision base on what I believe in. My grandmother has suffered for so long for years already when she was alive and I couldn't bare seeing her drifting away and suffering through pain... I guess I'm a little relieve at first that she was going to heaven. I believe she's doing well now with all the things we have burned for her. I hope she'll understand when I tell her on my visit to her tombstone sometime this month and I'll give her flowers that I owe her for years already but never have the gut to do it.

I'm going to build my future tomorrow. I know that I'll cause a scandal for the rest of the family who don't understand my reason, but I'm the one that should plan my own future.

I'll promise one thing to my grandma, that I'll visit her this month and whenever I have time. I shouldn't forget my grandpa who died last year near the Christmas time, I'll visit him too.

Thanks for reading my last three posts and this one. I hope I won't regret picking this choice...

Decision must be made...

October 9th, 2006 at 07:36 pm

I seem to make up my mind to go to the programme but deep inside, I know I should be with grandma on her last day. I still have tonight to think about it over. I know there's no what if... I have to choose one of them.

I was really looking forward for two years to go to a school where all the cegeps will be there to talk about their programmes and help me decide what kind of programme best suit me. In March, I have to decide the school I want to go to and the programme.

My dad said it's okay to go to the programme that I shouldn't feel bad because there's already enought of us there to support grandma. Still, I feel that she wants my presence there. I can't put myself in her place because I'm not her to start with.

If I go to school tomorrow, I have to finish a homework due in the fourth period....

Come on Christina... Decide... Decide... Make your decision.

Another funeral day has passed today. No spend day today and homework done.

152$ + 1$ + 2$ = 155$

Undecided

October 8th, 2006 at 08:38 pm

I still don't know if I should go to the programme or go to the buriel. Luckily, I have one more day to decide.

Today was a no spend day, so I add 1$ to my challenge money.

151$ + 1$ = 152$

Choosing between my grandma or my future??

October 7th, 2006 at 02:29 pm

My dad just called me today and told me that we're going to see grandma gets bury on Tuesday, but that's also the day where I'm going to visit a school where all the different cegeps will come to tell us about their programmes. I'm hoping that it'll help me choose what programme is best for me next year, since I can't visit the cegeps around my area on weekends because of the amount of homework I have this year, so that day is the chance for me to look at the different programmes that they offer.

He (my dad) cleary told me that it will go on a Sunday and Monday... That's two days of can't do my homework that I'm sacrifying to assist my grandma funeral. Then he said : Hey! Tuesday, you're not going to school because that's the day we're going to see grandma gets buried. Then I got hella pissed. I love my grandma and all. I told him I can't go because that's the day where I have to visit the cegep to look at different programmes, he said that I'll look at it another time, I said I can't, there's no other school that will be offering that and it's the only chance I'll get. He said : Okay, then don't go. But I want to go because that'll mean a lot for my grandma and I'll probably regret it later...

We argued a bit because I am confused and angry, then he said : Fine! Don't go!

Now I really don't know. Am I choosing to see my grandma gets bury or my future ? Right now, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I may look like I'm selfish... But really, I don't want to be confused like I am now of my future and I dont' want to disappointed my family especially my grandma. Both mean a lot to me to heart... If I choose one of them, I'll regret for not choosing the other.

What can I do now???

I can't even do my homework now... It's stressing me out...

First day of work at Tim Horton

October 7th, 2006 at 12:55 pm

At 6:45 am, I went to work for the first time in two months.

When I arrived there, I was looking for a superviser named Karine to train me. She was on the cash register taking orders from the customer, so I waited a few secondes then I got impatient and decided to tell her that I have arrived. She ignore me, so I figured out that I was bothering her and waited a little longer, but then, there was a never ending line of people, so I got a little more impatient and asked another girl working on the sandwich counter to tell her that I'm here. Another girl who was working with her in the sandwich counter asked Karine what she's going to do with me at the moment, and she told me to put on my uniform that she has given me 5 min later and start changing, and Catherine will take care of my training.

After I changed, Catherine showed me how to put milk,sugar and coffee in the cup. At first, I wasn't at ease, but after 30 min, I got the hang of it. Then they showed me how to use the cash register, all I know is the coffee button, but after spending more than five hours in it, I started taking orders a little faster and a little more naturally. Can't say I was doing great at first, I have made a lot of mistakes in the sandwich order that mess the people who's working in the sandwish counter mess up... Remember Christina, ask people if they're "pour emporter ou pour ici"!! Hehe... Also, it's not totally my fault in a way... There was so MANY buttons in it and all sort of colors! Also, I was not really chatty with the employers there... More known to be a shy girl who doesn't talk much or ask questions a lot who take working a little more seriously than the others. Well I'm okay lol... If I have problems with stuff there, I wouldn't hesitate to ask.

Around 10:15 am, Julie (the boss's daughter) and I had our little 15 min break, we chatted a little bit and she told me how it work in Tim Horton, she even told me that if I want to eat something here, I'll have to pay at the end of the day with the 50% discount. I knew that already because my friend told me about it, so I just took a muffin and an orange juice, so that makes 1.50$ for both... That's not much but I didn't have any money on me and I didn't plan to eat there...Oh yeah, I didn't pay either hehe ^.^'... They'll probably take out of my first pay. Ah well. >.

Stop thinking the American Dream people

October 6th, 2006 at 05:50 pm

Today in my Spanish class, my teacher was talking about Cuba where everybody are poor and they don't have much the basic things that we have here. There was a true story movie about six cubanians escaping Cuba to go live the American dream in the United State, some of them have died along the way, some have been taking back to their country and some have made it but have had their dream crush by reality.

I hate how the media portray North America, especially the United State as the place to get rich quick with big cars, big houses and everything. I shouldn't blame the people that live in poor country to think that way, but it hurts me to see them think way too big and end up being disappointed that it wasn't what they thought here.

I chatted with a Moroccan guy a few months ago who wanted to come to Quebec to study here, he asked me what it's like up there in the North and I told him about the weather and our daily life, nothing luxurious about it. Then I asked him if he knows what the cost here will be if ever he comes here to live and he gave all these informations like how he's going to eat outside everyday, get an apartement, have a part-time job to pay for his rent and everything. I told him that he won't make it out here like that and he said he doesn't need to worry, that'll he live off the social assurance. It got me so pissed at first because working people have to pay for those assurance to people who can't afford a living and he thinks that this is what it's for. I tried talking him out to stop eating out and everything, then he asked me if I can find him a part-time job and an apartement. Okay, we canadians are known to be good people, but we're not that nice to do everything for you so you can have a comfortable life here. He got another idea and asked me if he can stay in my house... First of all, I don't know him. Second, I don't trust him. Third, we're not welcoming any strangers to our house, this is not Morocco. As their known for their hospitality. In the end, I called him innocent and bring him back to reality, but he did mention about moving to United State where we get the get rich quick scheme is from... That, people, I have nothing to say because I got fed up by his way of thinking, but I understand where he's coming from.

The worst thing I can think of when they make it to the American Dream Land is to get hit back to reality. The place where they thought they could everything turn out that it's actually hard to live in this so called place of heaven.

My grandparents and my parents have worked hard for more than decades to be where we are and I'm grateful to have this life of middle class, to have all the basics I need and even more. All I can do now for my parents is to do my very best in my studies and enjoy life that they have given me. Oh yeah and not abuse their hard earn money.

I am happy to be in this site and to learn the value of the dollar. =) I now have the courage to say no whenever my brother asks me to buy things that are worthless. I'm glad I'm not like my brother who doesn't take education seriously like I do and my sister currently in third grade who wants to give up on her study because it's too hard. =.="

Angry Wednesday

Okay sorry I didn't keep my promise to blog once a week, hehe... Library doesn't open on Wednesdays... >.<

Anyways, Today at school, I was pissed for some reason... First, a guy next to my math class keeps saying jokes that are plain stupid and I was trying to listen to the teacher explaining something that I don't understand, so I whispered a little loudly saying : Would you shut the hell up ? Tabarnak. He shut up for a thirty secondes and started doing it again... But I finally managed to understand the subject but I feel like punching that guy in the face for being so unconsiderated of others. After school, I was trying to get to my locker since we have 10 min to get to our locker and take our bus, the line was so damn long and to make matter worst, my locker is at the end of the hallway, it takes about 5 min to get in and out. I got pissed. When I got into the bus, I told my cousin that I feel like killing all the 9th grade students for being so damn slow... I offended people in my bus, but I was so freaking mad and I didn't mean it.

After I got off the bus, I told my cousin about finding a job and opening a mutual fund account. I convinced her to open a account and she said she'll talk to her aunt after her pregnancy about it. Yay! And tomorrow, she's going to hand out her cv to the place where I'll start training this Saturday... But she won't be working the same hours as me. Ah well, I wish her good luck.

October 1st, 2006 at 06:11 am

It's going to be the last time for awhile that I'll be online everyday, only once a week. Hehe...

Well there's a music in Spanish that I love and currently, I'm studying the language in my school. His name is Juan and the title of the music is Es por ti. I recommend the song to anyone who loves Spanish songs. =) Too bad I can't upload the songs in a MP3... Because I don't have one... lol... If I had one, I wouldn't be on the computer too much listening to songs and blogging to you guys... =) Maybe I should buy one... Maybe in a few months... But we'll see about it lol.

Also, it's the first day of October!! It's Halloween day soon!! Anyone going to dress up? Me... I don't know hehe. I'd love to, but I don't have a clue what I should dress up, I like the Japanese style of costume but it costs a lot to buy them online and I can't make them since I don't sew.

I hope my challenge money will double the amount now. If I could put myself into doing my stupid homework and stop spending money on lunch (the food is gross), than I can maybe... Double the amount as last month.

What else can I talk about ? Aaah... Yeah Chinese dictation is today at 1pm. Yep, hope I'll do well. Wish me luck guys!!

I guess that's all for now... See you guys on Saturdays! =)
