A New Day

Salut!

After my little meltdown yesterday, I decided that I would start of this post with a good note. I had a quiz today, and I'm not exactly sure on how I did, I guess I was still I guess you can say a little "hungover" from yesterday. Again, I have a lot of work to do so I'm going to keep this post short.

My New Chapter

Hello,

I feel so bad for leaving you all. I'm sure that you all know that I went to France over the summer and let me just say that it was absolutely amazing. I have a bunch of pictures to show, you but that will be another time because, you see, I am in Grade 11 now, so I don't have much free time to update everyday. So far, my bed time everysingle day has been 12:00 am. I know crazy right.

School has been quite overwhelming, and too be completely honest I'm not ready. Last year, my overall average was about 90 and I hope to continue that his year, but honestly, my start hasn't been the best. I started out this year getting two 70s, but now I'm starting to go back to my normal self which is 80s and 90s. However, I recently received a "quest" back and lets just say that I did really really bad. I know that I am getting really personal, but sometimes, blogging is almost a way to escape reality and move into my world, which is a dreamers world. My teachers this year, aren't the best teachers. My English teacher is very narrow-minded which is kind of ironic because an English teacher should be the least narrow-minded teacher considering that everyone has different points of views in English. My French teacher, what can I say, she's really sweet but, it's the class. You see, I'm in grade 11 but taking grade 12 French, and I don't know much people. I love Chemistry, I have a good teacher, but she's just so hard, and now I'm scared because I'm afraid that I will do bad. Math is my strong subject, and unfortunately, I have a bad teacher, but a good group of friends to help me. 

I came back home and completely broke down on my mother's shoulders about my "quest" results and she was very comforting like a mother is. I guess I just have to stay strong and work twice as hard to achieve my goal. I love Michelle Phan, she is my idol, I just love how she is so down to earth, even on facebook, she encouraging quotes up to inspire everyone. She worked very hard to get to where she is today and I have to really struggle to become successful like her.

I love you Michelle! Cr. to the rightful owner

I was actually scrolling down facebook today when I saw what Michelle had posted up.

I think that this is absolutely true, and I guess that I just have to be even stronger tomorrow, than today. I still have a lot of homework to complete so I will end my blog here with an inspirational quote coming from the lovingly Buddha

This really relates to what happened to me today. I just have to let go of everything that happened today, be positive and look forward to a fresh start.

Good luck to you'all with everything!

Why Luhan Loves Sehun

Hey!

So last Thursday when I was on the bus, and my friend and I were talking about the Taiwanese cuisine. My friend is from Hong Kong and I was telling him how I prefer Hong Kong cakes over Taiwanese cakes, and one thing led to another, and we started talking about bubble tea. I honestly thought bubble tea was originated from China but I found that it actually originated from Taiwan. My Hong Kong friend (I won't say the name due to privacy reasons) said that he doesn't drink much bubble tea and when I questioned him, he said that apparently it makes boys more feminine. He then told me that it's not the tea, it's the tapioca which then led me telling him that I heard that tapioca is quite dangerous for the human body which is why nowadays, whenever I buy bubble tea, I tell the cashier that I don't want the tapioca.

To be honest, even though tapioca can harm your body, for me, tapioca is the best part of the bubble tea

(Cr: to the rightful owners) 

When I arrived home that day, I kept on thinking about how bubble tea makes guys more feminine. Being an EXO fan, I was watching one of EXO-K's interview in China (Billboard interview), and when D.O said that Sehun and Luhan loves going out together to have some bubble tea, that's when the light bulb popped up in my head.

(Cr: to the rightful owner)

The reason why Sehun and Luhan are so close together is because of BUBBLE TEA! Every time they order bubble tea, I'm going to assume that they want tapioca in their bubble tea. The more tapioca pearls they ingest, the more feminine they will get.

So this...

Cr: to the rightful owner

is all because of this....

and especially this...

I would now like to thank my friend for bringing up the result of drinking to much bubble tea and hopefully Luhan and Sehun will drink more so they will be just like this...

Forever and always

Happy Birthday XiuMin!

Happy birthday XiuMin.

Mermaids

Hey!

I've always had this huge obsession with mermaids ever since I saw The Little Mermaid. I personally think that mermaids are real but some people don't, then again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I found this really pretty picture online. Here it is...

Beautiful painting. I wish I was a mermaid.

Big Brother Canada

Hey!

So here in Ontario it's March Break week for all elementary and secondary school students. I'm super excited because I actually have a lot of work to finish and this is the perfect time for me to catch up and in addition, I haven't been updating my blog lately so this is just perfect timing.

Reality tv (Cr. to the rightful owner)

 I don't know if I said this before, but in addition to Korean pop, I love watching reality tv shows. I love watching the Amazing Race, Survivor, American Idol, and Big Brother. Big Brother by far is my favourite reality tv show, I've been watching it since season 2 and I think that Dr. Will and Dan Gheesling are probably the best players to ever play this game. I am also a huge fan of Evel Dick and Daniele Donato, but I do think that during the Donato's season, America's player definitely helped them. For many years, I've been hoping that there would be a Canadian version and FINALLY there is.

Logo of Big Brother Canada

Cast of Big Brother Canada.

To find more information about the house guests, you can click here. Although the show has already started it's still the beginning. I've already seen the all the episodes so far and they remind of me of the old Big Brother where it's just random strangers all coming in and where the production doesn't interfere with the game by designing games that would favour some house guests. 

The best thing about Big Brother is that they have FREE live feeds. You can watch them here. 

I really like the cast, they kind of remind me of Big Brother U.S casts based on personality and looks. 

Kat=Natalie BB11

Peter=Dan BB10+14

Topaz=Danielle BB3+BB7

Alec= (Since he is a doctoral student and has a masters in psychology) Dr. Will

Tom=Jessie BB10+BB11

Jillian= Rachel BB12+BB13(More mature version)

Emmett=Brendon BB12+BB13 (More mature version)

Right now, I think my favourite player based on game play would either be Peter or Tom. To be honest, I don't really like Tom because he is so full of himself, but he is playing the game really well. I think that Peter is in the best position in the house right now, he has Tom, Alec and Emmett in his back pocket, and maybe Liza and Talla. I also really like Gary, at first I thought he was really annoying but I actually really like him, it's too bad that people are gunning for him because if not, Gary honestly has a shot at winning the grand prize. In terms of the girls, I really like Talla and Jillian really because of their personalities. I really like Jillian's bubbly and cute personality while I like Talla because of her fun and entertaining personalities, like Talla makes the feeds fun to watch. If I were to guess who would win the game right now, I would guess Peter because he isn't in a showmance and he's not the best competitor but he does have a great social game, he's laying low right now because they're not in jury stages yet but I think once they do enter the jury stages, we will see a whole new side to him. 

That's all I have for today because I haven't done any homework this morning because of Big Brother. I'll update my blog soon so stay tuned!

Dream Girl-Cover Dance by SM's Managers.

Hey!

I know that it's been a really long time since I've update my blog. You know, I thought this semester was going to be easy, well, it kind of is, but at the same time, it kind of isn't. For the past few weeks, I've been studying really hard because I had two UNIT tests and one MAJOR assignment that was due last week. I expected visual arts to be really easy but come to find out, it's not. There's a lot of creativity involved with it and it takes forever to finish assignments.

I'm getting off topic here. So Shinee recently released their comeback music video Dream Girl. I love the song and it's choreography, but I don't really like the music video. Here's a look at Shinee's Dream Girl music video.

Now I've uploaded the dance version because a few days ago this was uploaded.

When I saw this, I immediately started laughing, who ever knew that SM managers were talented. The white jacket manager is Super Junior's manager, the red jacket manager is Shinee's manager, the black jacket manager is EXO's manager, the manager wearing all black is Snsd's manager, and the manager wearing black pants with red stripes is F(x)'s manager.

I was reading some of the comments on youtube and they were so funny. Most people were commenting on Super Junior's manager and I thought they were hilarious. 

                         "SJ manager is super cool! <3 Awww <3"- AliseaeSalvo

                         "now I know why fans ELF's fans call him Kim Jung Hoon the "Prince Manager" I was looking some photos of him and he actually looks like someone famous LOL :)"-twinkle love

                         "SJ's manager is just like SJ : Perfect!"- minbbobbo

                         "SJ' manager is so handsome"-joannaelf

                         "Prince manager is super cute and so good in dancing too ♥" - samantha elf

                         "The guy in white jacket dances pretty well and smooth! He can almost pass off as an idol too with his looks! What a young manager! I smiled watching this video. Thank you for uploading this SM! Wonder what does the fellow groups' reaction to this :D" -sssskwan

Here are some of my thoughts of the dance cover...

• I thought that it was hilarious
• EXO'S manager with the body roll just made me laugh out loud and his facial expression at the end when he was singing Taemin's high note.
• I thought the manager in the red jacket was the best dancer out of the five, but then again, it's is Shinee's manager.
• I was surprised that the manager's were so young.
• I think they should create a new group called the Managers
• Overall, I loved it and I can't wait to see what the reaction of the idols are.

I promise to update my blog soon, it's just that I still have a lot of homework to complete. Remember to read my fanfic, I'm currently working on chapter three. Remember to comment on it!

My Fanfic

Hey!

So I've been reading alot of fanfics lately which inspired my to write my own fanfic. This is my very first time writing a fanfic so I hope that you all like it. You are able to read my fanfic here.

The story features EXO'S Kris and Jessica Jung from Snsd. This story is about:

Cr: to the rightful owner

"Sun Li, born from China and moved to Vancouver, Canada at the age of three. She is now 20. During spring break she visited her hometown Beijing and now is on her way back to Vancouver. Along the way, she meets a mysterious tall and handsome boy on the ride. Kris a famous musician who is widely known around the world. However, she doesn't know that he is a musician and finds herself falling in love with him. They fall in love and start to date. As the story goes on, she discovers something that can change her love for him and his love for her."

I'm a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks's books mainly because of the romantic plot, although it does get predictable, I just love his writing.

Please read my fanfic and please comment. 

Hope you all like it!

Living in the Same Country as EXO's Kris

HI!

Kris recently landed in Vancouver and it's pretty nice to know that one of your favourite stars is living in the same country as you.

Cr: Kris_Tiffany

If he only lived in Toronto, of course it would be better, but even if he did, I don't think I would drive to Pearson Airport and visit him. As much as I love EXO and Kris, I'm not that big of a fangirl. If EXO were to have a concert here in Canada, I would definitely go. 

Cr: to the rightful owner

Kris must be a very nice person for him to get out of his car just to take a picture with all his fans. I saw a fancam and honestly, the reporter was extremely rude, at first I actually thought that he was a security guard so I was just like okay...

Cr: to the rightful owner

However, when I found that it was a reporter, I was like...

CR: to the rightful owner

That reporter was extremely rude, and I really do think that fans need to give him space, but then again, I don't blame the fangirls because I think if it were me, I would also stalk him. I really hope that in the future, I meet him and get his autograph or a picture.

Everyone Has a Story...

Hi!

Sometimes at school, my friends would constantly tell me what's happening in their personal life, and ask me for advice and I would always tell them what I would do in the situation.

I'm happy that people are able to trust me with their personal stories but it does upset me that there are so many problems going on in the world. I just wish that everyone can just love each other and realize that love is the only solution.

If you have any issues that is happening, don't worry, I will always be here to help you.

Valentines Day a.k.a S.A.D

Hey...

So I'm sure that you all know that today is Valentines Day a.k.a Single Awareness Day. This is going to be a short post but here is a song that describes my feelings about Valentines Day every year until I have a boyfriend.

Happy Valentine's Day! (Single Awareness Day)!

My Super Junior Favourites

Hey!

So I know I haven't been updating my blog lately, really because I haven't been feeling the best lately. EXO isn't having their comeback soon, so I've been listening to Super Junior songs. Personally, I prefer acoustic and ballad songs like Bubbly by Colbie Caillat or Lipstick by Elise Estrada. I've been listening to Goodbye (A Short Journey) and From U by Super Junior lately.

Usually this is where I put my comments but head is literally going to kill me if I don't get some rest soon. 

May all your dreams and wishes come true.

A Journey Ahead and Looking at the Positive Side

Cr: to the rightful owner

I know that I'm in grade 10 and still have two years until graduation and I know that some of you might think that it's too early to think about my future but I eventually will get a job and might have to move away. Now that I think of it, two years go by so fast, and honestly, it still feels like it was just yesterday when I walked in to my first class of grade 9. I still have a long journey ahead of me and I honestly have no idea where I will be going. However, I will always place my family and my faith as priority. No matter where I go, I will always think about my family and allow the Buddha and Bodhisattvas to guide me. New Future from Full Moon Wo Sagashite is a really good song about moving on to the future, overcoming the hardships, while remembering your memories as you go along.

Cr: to the rightful owner

I think that it's super important for people to believe in themselves no matter what happens. My parents constantly tell me this quote "Good things come to those who work hard." One of the major teachings that the Buddha taught is karma. Remember this, if you do good, then good things will happen to one. If you do evil, then evil things will come and bite you back. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should always look at the positive side even when you're down and there will always be someone who will help you. 

I have to work on my presentation for school now, otherwise I will suffer the consequences.

Remember, never give up and I hope that all your dreams and wishes come true. ;)

Just Another SNOW Day!

Hey/Bonjour!

What's up everyone! I'm still experiencing some writer's block so I shall just allow my mind to control what I type. So I got home and started to do my homework. (J'ai retourné ma maison and j'ai commence mes devoirs). I just feel like translating some of my sentences in French, I don't know why. (Aujourd'hui je veux traduire quelques phrase. Je ne sais pas). I know it's been a few days since I've updated my blog but sometimes, I need a break. Yesterday, my school had a snow day because the snow was really deep. I had to shovel my driveway about 3 times. Take a look at some of my pictures.

The beginning

Snow starting to pile up

More and more snow are piling up

If you look closely, you can see some of my neighbours helping another neighbour drive through the snow by shoveling the snow in front of their car. Unfortunately, there was just too much snow and the driver had to drive back into his driveway. :(

Here is what my driveway looked like after shoveling and it was still snowing

A closer look

My shoes and pants after shoveling the snow

Here is a closer look at just how much snow there was

Another closer look

Look at that snow!

My arm was covered with snow!

My backyard had even more snow

My backyard. If you look closely, you can actually see snow falling

I still remember when I wrote about how I wanted a lot of snow this year, but I think this is just a little bit too much.

I will end my post here. Hope you all have a nice winter!
