Deluxe Blog

Date: December 24th - 28th, 2009

This is a blog for five days since I was at a lot of parties and got back really late so I didn't feel like blogging so I'm making up for it now. On the 24th, I went to my aunt's house. She cooked a huge dinner and it was great. I played video games with my cousins and afterwards I opened up presents with everybody ad I got some cool stuff like some gift cards and money. We go back around 12:00 so I was super tired and went to bed right away. The next day was Christmas. I opened up my stocking to see what Santa had brought me and it was Band Hero. I love those music video games so I was really happy when I saw I got it. After that, I went to go open up my presents I got from my family. From my cousins I got some t-shirts, an RC plane and some money. Then I went to my grandparents house to have brunch and open up more presents. I got a shirt and some money. Later that day I went to a different aunt's house for another Christmas dinner and there I played more video games with my cousins. I went home around 12:00 again. Then it was Boxing Day. I didn't do much other than sleep that day to make up for all the sleep that I lost going to those late night parties. I didn't do any shopping mainly because of the long lines and the fact that I didn't camp out overnight. On the 27th, I went shopping. It's kind of like the smart-people Boxing Day because all the stores have almost the same deals without the long lineups. I went to EB Games and bought Modern Warfare 2. I was waiting for forever to get this game and now i finally did. I played a bit but my dad played more. He stayed up all night playing the campaign mode and now we're almost finished it. Today, I'm going to organize all the recycling so we can bring it down and trade it in for money.

Transformers

Date: December 23rd, 2009

Happy Christmas Eve Eve Mr.Olson! Today I got Transformers 1 and 2 on Blu-Ray. They're my favorite movies of all time. The second one was the best if you ask me but everyone else says the first was the best. The plot in the second movie was a lot more interesting but the first movie's plot was good too. I'm going to watch both today in a movie marathon so that should be fun.

Snowboarding.....NOOOOOOT! AGAIIN! :(((

Date: December 22nd, 2009

Today I was supposed to go snowboarding. Sadly, once again I did not go. Today I thought it would be the perfect day to go up to Grouse except for one thing. My parents were working. Because of that, there was no one to drive me to and forth from the mountain. I was really expecting to go today but I guess I'll have to wait some more.

Last day of karate

Date: December 21st, 2009

Today is the last day of karate for me. Now I can totally chill out and do absolutely nothing for the rest of winter break. So far over my winter break I have been sleeping until my dog runs up and starts licking my face. It's really annoying because it's all peaceful in my room, no noise at all, then out of nowhere something jumps on my face and starts licking it. And my parents wonder why I'm always in such a bad mood when I wake up.

Snowboarding......NOT

Date: December 20th, 2009

Today, I was supposed to go snowboarding with my friends except it was raining and my parents and friends were to wuss to come up. I was going to go up with one friend who was not a wuss and shred with me but my mom said : "NO WAY". I've been dying to hit the slopes and I hoped that I could start off my break with a good time. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I guess I'll have to wait for better weather.

If I could sleep at karate and my french lessons. Except I can't do that. BUMMER

LAST DAY

Date: THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Today was the last day of school. It was awesome. All of our periods were 40 minutes so we were done our classes at 12:00 and then we went to the assembly. I got to dance and stuff because I am on student council. I also got to throw candy canes at the crowd which was my favorite part. I got to see Bruce and the Bulldogs for the first time and I have to say they're pretty good. My strings teacher plays the saxophone and I didn't know he did that so it was pretty cool.

Last Day 1

Date: December 17th, 2009

Today is the last Day 1 of 2009 and it's the Synergy Christmas party. The party was totally awesome. Everyone got half a bottle of pop and half a bag of chips each! There was so much food the SY8's brought the leftover food to Mr.Sale's party and ate some there too. At his party we watched Twilight Zone and played cards. I was so happy that I kept a bag of microwave popcorn in my locker because I ate it today and it was good.

Square Dancing test

Date: December 16th, 2009

Today is the square dancing test. I think I'm going to fail because I hate square dancing and I suck at it too. I always end up using the wrong hand or spinning the wrong way or something like that. Whenever I see the teacher coming I try too smile but I always end up frowning. I don't know what's wrong with me. I think it's because the thing I'm doing is so totally ridiculous and stupid my body automatically puts me in a bad mood.

Winter concert

Date: December 15th, 2009

Tonight I had my winter concert at Churchill. I felt kind of bummed because the junior orchestra only got to play 2 songs while the other music programs played 3-4 songs. On the note of music ( music pun :p) the song we listened to in Applied Skills was really cool. I love all the music you've been showing us. I'm not sure but does this have anything to do with us busking? I know a few SY9's and they did that too so I'm wondering if we're going to do that too?

AAAAAH!

Date: December 14th, 2009

Today I went to school. Yeah, that's right I went to school. Even though I have a broken toe. It kind of hurt today but it was really sore. I wasn't so keen on going to school but I had to do the Hot Chocolate day for student council. It was a big success. Then, after that, I went to gym class to do square dancing. I thought that since I had a broken toe my gym teacher would let me sit out. Nope, not a chance. Hopefully my foot will feel better tomorrow but I hope even more that it's going to be a SNOW DAY!!! :)

Medals

Date: December 13th, 2009

Today I had my karate tournament. I won a bronze medal in kata ( a sequence of moves pre-set) another gold in kata and a bronze in kumite ( sparring against another opponent). I qualified for a competition called the BC Winter Games an event for all 12-13 year olds to compete in. I also broke my toe. It hurts. A lot. Also, I had to do some of my events on my broken toe which wasn't very fun at all. Hopefully it will heal.

Karate party

Date: December 12th, 2009

Today there was a Christmas Party at my karate club. There was pizza, pop, candy and lots of other stuff. We also had a gift exchange where we all bought little presents and traded them with each other. Also I'm having dinner at my house with a few of my dad's friends. We're having fish, steak and chicken and some other stuff to celebrate a birthday or something so I've been cleaning and stuff.

La buca

Date: December 11th, 2009

Today I went to La Buca , some restaurant in the middle of nowhere. It's an Italian restaurant but it wasn't actually an Italian restaurant. It was kind of weird because we were all sharing the food instead of having separate meals. It was kind of like an Asian restaurant because of that. The food was pretty good but since there was a lot of people I didn't get much to eat.

Dentist appointment

Date: December 10th, 2009

Today I went to the dentist's office for an impression for my mouthguard. I do karate and I'm going to a tournament on saturday for a provincial qualifier so I need to have a mouthguard if I'm going to fight. I'm sooo excited about this tournament because this year I'm old enough to do the BC Winter Games which is for 12-13 year olds and if I qualify I get to go all the way to Terrace. It's a long bus ride so I don't know how I'm going to occupy myself.

One Love

Date: December 9th, 2009

I listened to One Love like you told me to and know I really like it. You know that feeling when you like a song and then you play the song like a million times and then you get sick of it? Well I'm at the 459,387 play mark but I still like it and now I have it on my iPod. Bob Marley is one of my favorite artists so I'm surprised that I've never heard that song before. Thanks again for showing me it.

Google Chrome

Date: December 8th, 2009

Today Google Chrome for Mac came out! I'm so happy because I've been waiting for 5 months for it to come out and it finally did! I'm a Mac so I can't use any good browsers other than Firefox (Safari is letting me down :( ) so I can't surf the web quickly. The only problem is that when I tried to open it I got this: You cannot open the application “Google Chrome” because it is not supported on this architecture. That's really really sad. I guess I'll have to wait to see how to fix this.

Council meeting

Date: December 7th, 2009

Today, at the council meeting, we had a discussion of what we were going to do for Winter Week, which is going on next week. We came up with hot chocolate day on monday and some other stuff. I'm going to be helping out for hot chocolate day. Oh yeah! I forgot! Tomorrow I'm going to be helping with The Canned Food Drive first block which means......I MISS SQUARE DANCING!!! :)

Printer

Date: December 5th, 2009

Today I got a new printer. My parents are always getting mad at me because I use up all the paper in our other printer so they got me my own. I keep telling them it's not my fault, it's the teacher's for assigning so many projects. I think I'm going to put the printer in my room so I don't have to run all the way downstairs to go get the copy. Now, all I have to do is walk up to my room press the button on my computer and Voila! Done.

Staying over

Date: December 5th, 2009

Today my parents are going to a staff party. So, because of that, I'm staying over at my grandparent's house. I like going to their house because they always have lots of candy for me to eat and other junkfood. My dog likes it there too. My grandparents always spoil him because they give him extra food and take him for long walks.

Pacific Center

Date: December 4th, 2009

Today I went to Pacific Center. Sadly, I didn't have any money to spend there so I was basically window-shopping. I saw a couple of shirts I liked at American Eagle but they were $50 so there was no way I could afford them. There was also a clock radio that charges iPods that I like but it was about $100 so I didn't even bother to stay longer to look at it because that would have just made me want it more.

Secret santa

Date: December 3rd, 2009

Today during applied skills class we picked the people for secret santa. I'm not sure what to get the person I pulled from the hat but apparently that person likes ninjas and the color green. I think I'll go to London Drugs or Wal-Mart or something to get the person a present. I wonder who's getting me a present and what?

Radio play

Date: December 2nd, 2009

Today my group and I recorded our radio broadcast for science class. It was really funny because Ian, played the part of a field reporter in Hong Kong. He had this really realistic Chinese accent so it was pretty funny. We were supposed to record it early at school because it was a collab day, but Ronald couldn't get his butt out of bed so we had to record it at lunch.

Winter

Date: December 1st, 2009

Happy 1st of December! Now it's cold, icy and all around miserable. How exhilarating! I like the winter season but whenever I go outside my fingers get all cold and I lose all the movement in them. Although, I do get to throw snowballs and make snowmen and do lots of other snow-related activities. The best part is whenever it snows a lot my best friend and I try to make a giant snowball to see if we can cross over to my neighbor's yard. So far we haven't succeeded but I think that this year will be the one.
