Really? No new blogs from anyone but me?... Nice.

Heyo,

Well my birthday was great. I spent the day doing everything I wanted (except getting blisters on my feet from my heels). I first went to singing lessons and then I went to the nail salon and got a manicure. Then I went to the mall and shopped around and then I went to dinner with my family and also Julia. It was fun (until the weird asian man and my dad decided to serenade me with a very bad rendition of Happy Birthday, in English AND chinese! I definetly cheated on my diet on my birthday but whatever, it was my BIRTHDAY. I've been super busy (except today, where I desperatley begged Julia to go to the mall or belly dancing classes or anthing really, just to get out of my house!) from my online course (my exam is this monday!!) to my singing exam to my getting fit regime. I've also been trying to fit in family time with my houseguests and some all important birthday partying. I'm really nervous for my History exam because I really want to excel in it. Tomorrow is when I do my last assignment for the course and then i have about 3 days to study for the exam, and one of those days is my birthday tea so really only 2 days. I also have my singing competition semi finals on July 26th coming up and I have to prepare for that. I am really excited for my birthday party. I'm just not excited about exams!!! 

Anyways, I'm going to go now and see if I can do a bit of my assignment due toomorow so I can have some extra studying time!

Love,

allie

Getting super excited ! Birthday's tomorrow!

Heyy!!

Okay.

Super excited ants in my pants feeling:D

Tomorrow is my birffday!

:D

and not only that, but I entered a singing competition a few weeks ago nad I got into the semi-finals! I'm performing on July 26th! Super exciting! if you want to come, talk to me and  I can get you ticket for 15 dollars. And not only that but some not so good news. Yesterday i FAINTED (second time!!) and felt lightheaded the whole day. I also bruised myself when I fainted and now my back has a huge purple bruise on it. On both sides of my hips. How lovely.  Also, the scariest thing was that I was home alone and my parents were 3 hours away from home! Well I'm okay now, still abit lightheaded but I am watching myself and am trying to stop my headrushes.

I'll write back more but I have a ton of things to accomplish before tomorow!

Toodles!

Ally.

Bonjourness all around!

   Hey you all. 

I am on an educational high because I just had an hour of math tutoring and preceding that I spent 3 hours doing my online course. So far, my mid-term mark for it is 100% :). Well it better be! I am working my arse off on this course. I have my singing exam on Aug 15 which I'm not really excited about but I  want to at least have some sort of document to prove my achievements in music. I also get a credit for school for it. I've decided I don't want to be a singer. Well I still do, but I'm not looking at it as realistically as I used to. I think I've grown up a bit. I want to pursue a business or law degree or a medical degree. My family friends son is a professor of psychology at Harvard and I hope that he can give me a letter of recommendation when I am applying for university and medical school. Also Julia, your mom should give me a letter of recommendation:) lmao. Anyways, I've become pretty much addicted to the Verve Remixed albums. Basically, it's a composition of a lot of old jazz and soul and blues songs remixed with dance music. It's really really good and I love dance music and I love jazz music and this fuse of it is really excellent.  Right now, I'm listening to a remix of Feeling Good by Nina Simone. I've become a really big fan of Nina Simone's music. I especially love Ne Me Quitte Pas (which is actually her cover but she sings it brilliantly) and Ain't Got No/ I've Got Life and I also really enjoy My Baby Just Cares For Me. 

  Even though I'm a bit late, but I've done some much needed spring (summer?) cleaning. I've organized all my shoe boxes and directly labeled each box with a label stating the type of shoe it contains, its size, designer, and colors. I guess I've gone a bit OCD. Also, I've organized all my books, my underwear drawers and my CD collection. Well, my CD collections not hard since its all Queen albums plus 1 Rufus wainwright album. 

       I'm getting really excited for my birthday party; more so than just for my birthday (which is in basically 2 days). I don't really know why I'm not that excited for my birthday. I think the older you get, the less excited you are. I think I'm too young to not be excited though!  I still have about 10 years left before I will be all grumpy on my big day. My birthday party will certainly cheer me up though. It's going to be a traditional Victorian tea party complete with large hats and pearls and cucumber sandwiches, oh my! It will almost be like a mother-daughter party. But not really. Because the only mother-daughter people will be my mom and me, Julia and her mom, my family friend and her daughter and my hairdresser/family friend and her daughter. It will also be 8 of my friends. AND my Aunt and my cousin. 

       Did I forget to mention? Well, my aunt and my cousin are staying with me for three weeks. At first I was really excited. But then I was getting really annoyed by my aunt. Now I'm annoyed by my cousin. But really, after I vented everything out to Daniela, I felt really bad. Like I've almost talked behind my families back (well in actuality, I DID!). So I feel really guilty because I think I may have over-exaggerated on a lot of what I told Daniela. It's just hard for me to get used to having extra people in my house because I really like privacy and it's been so long where I've only had my immediate family because the rest of my extended family lives so far away. By the time I will get used to them and really appreciate them being here, they'll be boarding a plane back to their homes. Well on the upside (or downside actually, since I'm trying to lose weight), my aunt is an unbelievable chef. She is like a gourmet chef! Because me, and my parents are trying to eat healthily, she takes all her signature meals and makes them into diet versions and they're just delicious. She does things with an apple and cinnamon I've only seen professionals do! And she also has just unbelievable presentation skills. Everything looks like its out of a 5 star restaurant. Me and my mom are trying to convince her to open up a restaurant. I even offered up my legal skills (well soon-t0-be legal skills) to help advertise and represent her restaurant. Even though my aunt didn't go to culinary school or anything; she's just amazing at cooking. I've been enjoying my overeating a bit too much and I've been overindulging. In fact, I just finished the bottom of the container of ice cream. Granted, it was no sugar ice cream but it had 22% of fat. Which is REALLY REALLY BAD. And that 22 is only for one serving and I had more than one serving. I had like 3. Super bad. I lost 10 pounds in this month but I've pretty much gained back about 5 pounds already in just this week. Eh whatever. I will not eat as much tomorrow (I've been saying that everyday since Monday). But this time, I really will!

       As for exercise, me and Julia want to join a  belly dancing class. Also, me, Sophie and Daniela want to join a kickboxing class. I had joined a gym, but I also quit in like 3 days. Only because it's always really busy and they don't have enough machines. I went there one time and not one machine was available for use! What the hell was I paying money for? To stand around and wait for machines? No thank you. Also, Its a full women's gym. Which sucks arse; because half the fun of going to the gym is all the fit men you see. I was also planning on joining another gym. But its really huge and intimidating and my dad pointed out to me that if I rely on my friends all the time to go places with me; I will always be dependant and its not a good trait to have. And then I realized to go to the big scary gym; I would always want to be with friends. So I'm not going to waste 200 dollars to depend on my friends. Instead, I will work out at home, where I only depend on me. I have a treadmill, a bike, weights, and a stationary bike plus the Internet (and a brain), So it's not like I can't exercise at home. Plus, no one has to drive me AND its free. 

   So yes, this has been a pretty thorough update on my life. I missed venting out on here while still staying pretty far from the complaining territory. I'm really glad its summer. I'm excited to return to school though. I never thought I'd be one to miss school, but I do. I guess I've grown up and stopped looking at it at an adolescent point where I worry about what people think and whatever, but I've started seeing it as an adult, and realizing I'm there to LEARN and to better my future life. I am a selfish person I admit and I only want the best for myself (and sometimes no one else) so I will never sabotage my own opportunities. I think that's a good way to live life but you should also have a duality where you balance your love of yourself , with your love of humans and kindness. I will never substitute my competitive drive for kindness. I'd rather be happy and kind and a good person then successful, cold and driven apart from everyone else. 

With nothing left to say but I bid you Adieu, I will be signing off now.

Toodles,

Alona.

Wanted= Best Movie Ever

I should be smacked on the hads with a ruler for this (old school style. teehee), because i wasn't actually SUPPOSED to see Wanted with Alona.
This is how it happened.
Alona and I, the wo lovely girls, decided to go see a movie. That movie was called "Wanted."
We go to the theatre and we thik "Oh we're gonna see Wanted, lah dee dah" but then we realie that it's rated 18A and we get sad and upset (if that is not the same thing). Then we realize that The Love Guru was playing at almost the same exact time as Wanted, so we decide to go see that movie. We go t the place where they look at our tickets and rip them, and there's no one there >: so we think. "Oh bloody hell, we could have gone to see the movie for free" but then someone could have seen us go in to the theatre and it would have started this whole thing which we would not have wanted. And anyways, the tickets were bought, so what could you have done?
So anyways, the we go to the place where The Love Guru is playing,and almost right across from it, we see WANTED written on the 'movie name plate...thing'. Alona and I exchange looks and go in to the theatre. Alona right away says "We're gonna get kicked out but i am the calmer one and do no panic, and we watch the whole movie undisturbed :D:D
But it was a good movie. It was rated 18A for a reason, because of some inappropriate things at beginning, but that's about it. i could handle it :D.
AND!! James McAvoy was in the movie, which made it a WHOLE lot better. I do wish he used his real Scottish accent in the movie though. But his American accent was perfect though :)
Anyways, that's all for now.

Pip pip,

-Julia

P.S.
I would like to see The Love Guru aussi.

To Daniela:

You Better <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
And also,
you CAN change the font and stuff on this blog :S
Maybe ou just have to change your settings around a bit.
Anyhow,

-Julia

P.S.

Wanted was the best movie EVER! (read my other post above)

Boringness.

Ewww.. the stupid blog website changed the layout for this thing that you write your post in.. You cant even change the color and size of your font anymore :( THIS SUCKS. Anyways.. this summer so far has been pretty freakin boring.. I really should get a job as soon as possible, because there are so many things that i wanna buy but i just cant because i don't have any money, and i don't want to keep asking my parents for more and more money :|. Anyways.. i got a membership to the pavilion so hopefully I'll be going there a lot to work out and get into shape. Umm, so wonderland is awesome as well. I try to go there whenever i have the opportunity to, aaaaaaaand yeah. Summer rush at wonderland is in 12 days! WOO!!! It's gonna be an awesome concert =D I can't wait. Umm.. well its 3 minutes until midnight right now and im really tired.. BUT im still writing this blog because Alona has been asking me to write one for a really long time now.. lol. I know this is boring to read, but there isnt much i can say when im really tired and totally blanked out. I'll definitely post another blog real soon to update more.

Hola, Long time, no blog!

Hola,
I am super sorry for being an arse and not writing any blogs. I've been really busy. Currently I'm out of town:D and I have family that has come to stay here with me for 2 more weeks, I have summer school and I am studying for my super important and hard music exam. ALl that plus I am trying to get fit for summer still! I am not really a person who enjoys having company staying with me. I like having my privacy and my space so adjusting to having two strangers (well not really but I haven't seen them in 8 years so they're practically strangers to me) there every second of my day is kind of hard. As I've told some of you; I don't agree with a lot of what they do and how they act so it's hard but I've been keeping my mouth shut with Julia's advice. I am super excited for my birthday which is super soon and my amazing birthday party. If I may say so myself, it's going to be brilliant. A whole victorian tea party with tea, (cute) waiters, a fancy 5 star victorian hotel, and our own royal tour of the Fairmont. How exciting!
Well
I've got to go (not really) but I just can't be bothered to write more.
I will try to write more later though.
Love,
allie

The Deuce..?

Recently it's been Alona who has been complaining, but now it is my turn.
How come no one writes here anymore?!
I understand I may not have time to because of my job (read on) but.. Daniela? Alona? What about you two?
I feel ashamed and sad.
One reason might be because they are busy. For Alona, it might be her summer school... thing, and for Daniela? Je ne sais pas. That's for sure.
But thankfully there are people like me here, who take time out from their busy schedules and do nice things like these.
Anyhow, i got a job as a Junior Counsellor at Richmond Hill Country Club Day Camp. It's more like child labour because I'm only getting payed $175 for 4 weeks (and Alona tells me i should sue them), but it is money, and the job is (relatively) fun. Sometimes it's stressful, and I'm doing practically the same thing that the Senior instructor does (takes care of kids in camp. I help my Senior do her job.. by doing her job kinda. I mean, she does her job, but i do the same thing, only she gets payed 5x more than me because she is the 'age' of a counsellor). The good side of this is, i get training to become a counsellor for free (instead of paying $1,000 to be a Counsellor In Training or CIT) so next year i can work and get a lot of money. Also, I'm outside the whole day and i have a regular going-to-sleep-and-waking-up routine. And lastly, it's good for my resume :D. So, even though i will have to ask my parent for money next time i go to the mall, i will have 4 good things accompanying me on the way.
So hanyways, I have decided i will write little stories that have no point to them, nor are they any genre, but i will write them to practice my English and to practice my story writing skills.
The last time i wrote a story was... god knows when. It was so long ago, and i only wrote about 8 pages. But i have a completed story that i wrote in grade 5 or 6 and it is 9 pages long. After i wrote it, i thought it was a masterpiece, but now i see that it is not. It's about a girl and she has some dude that is trying to kill her, and in the end it's the last person you ever suspected: a teacher with a Russian accent!! Only, his accent was fake, of course, and he wanted to kill her because she was smarted than he, and he wanted revenge.
Yes. My 11 year old brain was very strange and violent, but look at what i have become ♥
So after i write my meaningless story, i will post it up, but until then,

Pip pip,

-Julia
