See everyone later,
I'm on my way to Chicago! See you guys in a week =D
And blogging seems to have taken a back seat...?
Man oh man, I think it's been a good month since I've blogged.
Yeah, let's just say A LOT of things have happened since then.
First of all, I went to Toronto (Lake Simcoe) for a week in mid-July to visit my godfamily. Now since I've grown up, I just haven't really been feeling the cottage scene, until this summer. Long story short, I met (well met again, more in-depth) our neighbour across the street who happens to be my godmother's nephew and it turns out we've been dating for 3 weeks now. That week was probably one of the most tumultuous, crazy-good, and romantic weeks I have ever had in my life. It was so fun to just be up in the country and swim in the crystal-clear, sandy bottom lake almost everyday, relaxing in the hammock or just enjoying the scenery from Mike's backyard.
I honestly believe I fell in love with the countryside for the first time in my life, because the feeling I got was unexplainable and I just can't wait to go back (in 11 days, actually :D:D). So I got back home, feeling lonely and trying to get used to the fact that I was in a relationship, and having to face my mom. (Did I mention that he's 5 and a half years older than me)? But let me just say, I can't thank my mom enough for being there for me over the past 6 or so months. She really has been having a hard time getting used to me growing up and moving on with my life (trust me, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it). But she is doing the best she can, and I really appreciate having her there to talk about anything and giving me the freedom I need.

I got to show him around Ottawa and we got to talk a lot and just enjoy each other's company. It was a great time. And my friends (Char and Fatima) have been a constant of course, hanging out, SHOPPING (I'm literally penny-pinching off my mother right now), and workk!!!!!!!!!
4 days from now I will be done done done!!!!!!!!!! No more Timothy's, although I must say it has been a hell of a ride and I will miss everyone. On Monday my mom and I are going up to a resort on the Rideau Lakes for a week, then I have a birthday to come back to, and then I'm off to Lake Simcoe to see the bf! :)
This summer has certainly shaped up to be one of the best I have ever had, and I just hope they keep getting better.

P.S. School shopping has definetely been a source of my debt, I really understand the concept of money being here one minute, and gone the next.
Busy as a Bee
WOW! I've neglected this blog for so long!
I've just been so busy with, well, life. Working this summer full-time really leaves no time to have much of a social life, but I think I'm managing. I saw Inception recently, and that was Amazing! Mind blowing! Literally, it went KA-POW! And just yesterday I saw Sharks 3D in IMAX, it was real cool especially since shark week was just here on discovery channel. It's really sad how all sharks are endangered yet feared. They are really interesting and important creatures in the underwater ecosystem, which our lives depend on. I've been to a few, well one, park social so far, which was Beach Volleyball day, and I dressed up for our theme (Dirty Sanchez). I've finally gotten my wish and went to the beach, where it did end up raining and thundering, but we survived. Have you ever realized that it's really hard to run in the sand, but is an extremely effective method of toning your legs? Anyways, Banquet and Boat Cruise is coming up for parks, and I'm super excited for the Banquet, since I'm probably skipping out on Boat Cruise.....

Work has just been extremely hectic and quite interesting, we would get these really slow days at the pool and then really busy days. But I'm glad that I'm going on vacation this coming week (a much deserved break). I'm heading off to Chicago for a week and will probably be living off deep-dish pizza for a while YUM! =D I'm hoping to get some back to school shopping done without breaking the bank considering next year is Uni and that just eats up everyone's money.
Tomorrow I'm off to my friend's 17th birthday party and Friday I'm hoping to be hitting up IKEA to pump up my room in rez. I'll blog the rest of my summer adventures later!

A little something ♪ over the rainbow ♫
After work, my mom and I rushed down to Lebreton Flats to see a free concert featuring Nikki Yanofsky and Time for Three. It was FANTASTIC! I absolutely loved Nikki, she's so talented and wonderful. In between songs she'd talk a bit about herself, try to speak in french and was ever so cute. I love that she's so down-to-earth and easy going. She is so gorgeous and so lucky to be dressed by DSquared, I absolutely loved her outfit tonight which was a black sequin dress. Though I do find that she wears way too much black for a 16 year old.... When she sang I Believe, it was wonderful! Even better than the recording, she's just so talented, I wish her the best of luck in the future!!
Here's a video about her from CNN, she's amazing and I'm proud to say that she is a CANADIAN!!! =)
And here is her FIRST ever music video, and at the concert tonight, she said that the director had given her casting papers to choose the guy in the video, (she made a great choice ;P ) but sadly she said that he arrived on set... with his GF.
"A girl can dream"
-Nikki Yanofsky

Me and My Boredom
I'm currently watching storm clouds swirling and rolling on by. I have this weird fascination in watching storms, the lightening strikes, the sounds of thunder, simply mesmerizing!
Unfortunately I didn't end up working today due to this lovely weather; there goes my $82 =(
But I did get some stuff done over the course of three days (Mon-Wed)
Monday:
Cleaned and cleaned. My room is, well was, spotless and all my clothes has been placed back in my closest and such.... The kitchen is clean of my baking mess and the bathroom is rid of my clutter on the counter tops. Soccer in the evening, sadly we lost once again.
Tuesday:
Got inspired by Threadbangers to make some plush toys. I made these three little monsters, aren't they cute? the first one is my fav :) here's the pattern link: http://images.cutoutandkeep.net/cutoutandkeep/pdfs/monster.pdf
I modified some of it, and now my monsters are even cuter :)
Weeded the garden and watched my new fav show: Pretty Little Liars (since Glee's not on)
Wednesday:
Well, today.....nothing really, made a mess of my room already and gave my chem notes to Fatima. Soccer practice, cool thunder, and I saw a cloud shaped as an elephant, and at home this claw-like cloud, it looked like it came straight from Harry Potter :P
I realized that I should really stop watching TV. When I get bored I just rot in front of the tube. It's SO bad! And I am now hooked on this show called Pretty Little Liars on MuchMusic. Lame show, but soooo much drama, I can't stop!!!!

Avenged Sevenfold!
So many people don't know this about me but I am a closet metal head. I guess it's the crazy guitar solos or the impossible drum solos that really attract me to heavy metal. My all time favourite heavy metal band is definitely Avenged Sevenfold. I really like how they take great guitar sounds and pair it with the lead singers raspy yet strong voice. Plus, their songs are not all screamo and some of their songs really can tug at your heart strings. Their new album, Nightmare, is being released July 27 so i'm super excited for that! It was so sad to hear that the band's drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Suillivan passed away this year. We love you Jimmy and rest in peace. I really enjoy this band and I hope this post gets people interested the band. A7x for life :)
Some of my personal favourites
- A little piece of heaven
- Seize the day
- Dear God
- Nightmare
- Unholy Confessions m. shadows, lead singer
- Warmness on the soul
- Bat country
- Gunslinger
the band
zachy, second guitar
The Rev, ex drummer R.I.P :(

that goes where?!
SEX SEX SEX! I think more families should have open conversations about sex and sexuality. In my family, sex is not an everyday dinner conversation but it isn't a topic we avoid like the plague. In the movies you see parents awkwardly trying to avoid the trademark question, "where do babies come from?". I think it's fine to let your kid learn about the birds and the bees from really any age. Well of course not as young as babies because unless you speak goo gah blargh (drool), they will not understand you. It all depends on how much description you want to give them at that point in time. Kids will always know more about sex than their parents want them to. If you start early with sexual education, you can help your child to avoid making mistakes in the future and help the child become more mature in this sex-crazed society.
