Another year has almost pass by!! Already I'm really really sick now... I can't believe I'm going to start the year 2007 like this... Tomorrow I have to work at 3 to 11 pm so I hope I'll get better soon.

Today, I'm going to attend a party at Old Montreal with some friends and my cousins, it's going to be cold but I'll make sure to dress really warm.

What am I grateful this year? I started my challenge money in September the 1st and I have 612$ now!! It's a huge amount and I'm so proud of myself. ^.^!! I even have mutual funds with lots of money in there.

My cousins are crazy shoppers and they spent a lot in less than five days already... There's a lot of things hanging from right to left and I feel like my house has become a junk place. The oldest one treat my house with no respect though... I don't really like her that much but she is nice in some way... Just her manners are bad though.

My dad's letters and other junks are everywhere and so are my mine... Well mostly in my bedroom. I need to find my three grammars books to pratice my grammar today and tomorrow and Monday. I can't find them anymore. Arg... It's becoming a mess!! >.

I've been hella busy today. I went to Biodome of Montreal to watch animals with my cousins and my brother and sister. I had a coupon of that place but I forgot another one which both of these tickets could save me 9.75$ from the total purchase of the tickets... Arg... >.< I regret it so badly now. Anyways, I save 6.50$, my sister got in free.

Around 2 pm, we went to a restaurant called Crepe Bretonne, a place we never ever set food there but I wanted to try it out. Another group of friends joined us and we were around 10 in a restaurant. Many of us ordered pancakes. At first, it was good but after a few bites we didn't like it. My little sister enjoyed her meal... Her pancake was made with ice creams and strawberries... It's no surprise that she likes it so much. I used coupon again but this time I have two. We save a total of... 15.50$. Again, my little sister meal was free and so is another of my cousine. Although we saved money, the foods there are pretty expensive.

After lunch, two of my cousins and my brother went out to shop and I went with the rest of the group to the arcade and I paid 5$. I played many many games and also DDR. I had a great times.

At the end of the day, we went to another restaurant, a vietnamese one, this time my aunt payed our meals, then we went home.

I didn't pay anything today, mom gave us 100$ for me for all of us and I managed to save 35$ of it. I'll probably be using it another time... Probably, don't know if mom minds if I keep it. Anyways...so yeah. I didn't spend my money but I spent my mother's. The money she gave me should cover our little trip of the day. .________.". I spent most of the money for me though... I'm so selfish >.

Ever since my cousins came here... I've been going out pretty much enjoying my winter break. I did read a few pages of my book but sooner or later, I need to concentrate on it seriously. I spent 519.36$ this month already!! Am I turning into a major spender??!! Wait... I bought clothes. Oh no! Well I still have another week left till my winter vacation is over... >.

I'm going to start to think of one now... Since the year 2006 is going to end soon in about five days starting tomorrow.

Let's go to my first ever blog shall we?

#1 : Get a mutual fund [Got two checked]
#2 : Get a job [checked]
#3 : Wait till my 1st paycheck arrive [checked]
#4 : Separate my pay into different categories. [It's not possible for me at the moment but checked?]
#5 : Have some fun money left for the month. [checked]
#6 : Repeat # 3, 4 et 5. [checked]

The reason why I can't separate my money into different categories is because I don't know how much I'll be spending every month since I'm a teen and I have some unplanned purchases here and there with friends... I need to enjoy a little sometimes and save at the same. I guess I can't budget. There are months where I spend less than a 100$ and this month in particular, I already spent 389.05$. Most of the money I've spent are food... Man, I need to stop buying food. >.

Yesterday, I had a fun night with my friends and cousins. We started the party at 4pm, some were lates but many had came just in time. We had a quiet party, we played cards and ate chips and drink beers (except me of course, I hate the taste). I won many times with another friend of mine, it was so fun!! After an hour or two, one of my friend has to go home to eat turkey with his family, so he left but never came back after. Then another friend of mine wanted to get his camera at his house and I went with him to get it... I wanted to try my new scarf outside that I got from another friend.

At around 7:30 pm, we came back and my cousins has just came home with the food and we ate hot pot, plus my parents has included a lot of seafoods for my muslim friend who can't eat meat outside of his family. We had tons of fun... After dinner, I went upstairs with one of the youngest cousin to look at the pictures of our friends and of course, cute guys we've met at our vacations and school. Around 10 pm, we went downstairs with the rest to watch movies, we saw little man and accepted. The movies were not bad but the jokes are getting old though, I'm kinda tired of seeing pervert jokes over and over again.

Anyways, many left around midnight and two of my friends stayed to play chest. We were four on one team and when we lose, we have to drink about 16 glasses of beers that represents the players on the board ( dunno what it's called those chest thingy), I drank four of them and I got really tired after... Maybe because it's 2 in the morning... I felt asleep on my brother bed and I sense my friend was taking picture of me. Around 4:40 am, I woke up and I saw my little sister in her pyjama, she told me everyone left at 4:30 am and my brother is sleeping in my bedroom. My youngest cousin was sleeping in the couch. I went to changed and brush my teeth and I went back to my brother's bed to sleep.

Around 10 am, I woke up and slept again. Then at lunch time, my cousins was getting ready to dress to go shopping on boxing day.

It was fun yesterday, I dress up for the first time in months and many people were surprise because I used to dress hella crappy. LOL!! Well... I can dress but I'm hella lazy.

What am I going to do today ? Well, I'm going to try to finish my book today and play with my sister.

I didn't spend on anything today but I gave my sister 10$ as a Christmas present, then tomorrow, I'm going to eat at the restaurant with her as a second Christmas gift. We're going to try a French restaurant with a 2 for 1 coupons from my book of rebates.

My challenge money so far is 566$!! I'm going to write down my December's challenge money now. Tomorrow, I'll probably start posting more blogs... Right now, I'm dead tired. xT

Later on, I'm going to put my 2007 resolutions.

I have to read books and stuff but I'm totally relax now... No more exams anymore.

Today, I went shopping with three friends and I spend around 158$ .______________."... Well now my spending this month has come to 358$. I never knew it will be this high and I have the party to put money on. My friends will pay their part so it should reduce the cost for my bro and I. Anyways... I'll put up the money challenge and such a little later tonight. I need to do some cleaning first.

I haven't blog much these days because of exams and such... My challenge money has gone to around 500$ but I'll be writting it around next week if I have time... Well of course, it's Christmas and New Year's break lol...

Anyways, My team and I had our oral presentation in French today about sushi and we did great, the teacher really likes what she sees... So yeah, we're going to get a good mark. I bought a lot of things for presentation and I told everybody that I'm not doing this to get a 60%, I'm reaching for a 85 and up in oral presentation and I better get it. Eventually, everything turned out great and all of our homemade sushis were taken hehe, even the teacher likes our sushi. Thanks mom for helping me make the rice.

I spent around 200$ in November and this month will be a lot more... I guess it's the holidays and there are also a lot of inexpected purchases to be made at the last min. I bought my album pictures on the 6th of December for 45$ and so far, it doesn't look so bad. I actually like it after looking at it a hundred times.

Today I spent 5.65$ on food alone but that was when I was in the library. Yesterday, I had a no spend day... Anyways, I'm going to write my challenge money down when I have the time. I need to start on my homework soon.

My challenge money is 300$ now!! I'm so proud of myself... hehe ^.^"

Today was a no spend day so going to add 1$ in my challenge.

I spent 4.34$ on food today at work but I saved a lot for drink.... I should save very soon. Ever since I got my tip yesterday, I spent eat a little more food. Eum... I bought a large French Vanilla to keep me awake after my shift because I have to meet with my team mates for the project so I spent 0.90$ and I bought 8.60$ bus tickets.

I spent 13.84$ today. Yikes @.@"!! Anyways, I decided to split my tip money in half, 50% is going in my challenge money and another 50% is my allowance. I spend a little too much this weekend, around 20$ so far >.

The reason why I'm so depressed with 45% in French in particular is because I need to pass in order to get my diploma and get accepted in college or else, I have to redo it again in summer and I'll go to college next winter semester.

I asked my French teacher if there's any possibilities to redo my writting production and she said she's going to ask. If I get the chance or not, I'm going to study hard in French. From now on, I'll write a diary in French on a textbook daily to express myself and read lots of books. I'm still going to pratice English but less often than now.

Today I spent 4.56$ on food at my work place and 3$ contribution for my boss gift with my coworkers. I woke up late because of alarm clock problem. So... If I finish my homework today and do a little cleaning. I'll be adding 3$. Oh yeah, today I got my first ever tip... 35$! Yep.

I am so depressed... I got a 45% on my writting production that counts for 50% for the second term and it's going to appear in my college application report card next March. I don't know what to do anymore.... I don't want to wait till January to go to College next year. I don't know what to do anymore... I have to work harder that's for sure. >.<

Way to go for the first day of December... 2007 is going to be a bad year for me.
