=> I told myself not to fall; I didn't and I'm happy for that.
I knew that you'd be leaving when the school year was over, I knew it from the very start. That was the beauty of it, that after this year you'd just be part of the past and that whatever was done would be done; that it'll all be temporary. I don't mind you leaving really, but there's something about having you as a safety blanket that makes me feel... well, safe. It's just really bittersweet I guess and I'm kind of at a lost for what I should say, of what I should do - not just for our goodbye in a few days but next year. What am I going to do without you next year?
I pray to God that we'll be able to keep this friendship going, I really do. Not only did you unknowingly serve your purpose of keeping me sane but you've also helped me get over a number of other things as well.
Ugh I'm going to miss you way more than I thought I would... and it kinda sucks...

The Past Haunts; Even If You Don't Want It To.
=> You know, I love Power to Change and I love the girls in my DG with all my heart. It's just that we're doing the "My Story" series & our faith adventure last term was posting our testimony... and it's REALLY REALLY hard for me. Freakn that's why I need my ring, why I can't let go of skating; cause it reminds me that it's over and that everything is okay. I don't want to be reminded of SF multiple times throughout the week, every week. I don't want to be on the verge of an emotional breakdown all the time like how I was before. I put all that behind me, I don't want to revisit it even if it's for a totally different reason.
Even though I want to, I scared and don't know if I'll be able to make it through the series...

=> Update: Unfortunately I have had to pull out of finishing the series. There was a bunch of reasons, but mainly I just really couldn't bare to go through the emotions over and over again week after week...

Out of these ashes Beauty Will Rise.
=> Sometimes the best things in life, the most treasured are those that are the result of a wreck. I’m not saying a wreck as in “Oh yesterday was such a bad day,” but wreck as in absolute shambles where your world seems to be in hopeless despair. Steven Curtis Chapman embodied this phenomenon perfectly in his song Beauty Will Rise from his album of the same name, written in memory of his daughter Maria Sue.

“But buried deep beneath,
Of all our broken dreams we have is hope.
Out of these ashes beauty will rise,
And we will dance among the ruins,
We will see it with our own eyes.
Out of these ashes beauty will rise,
For we know joy is coming in the morning.
In the morning, beauty will rise.”
=> As another age old song goes, “Ashes to ashes we all fall down.” Yes, we may all fall down but at the end of the day, from those ashes we will rise again as something renewed and more magnificent than ever.

JK = the mastermind of logic & plot lines (Lily-Narcissa) (Hagrid)
Well considering how they couldn't event get THAT right -_- (“The only really important thing is that his eyes look like his mother’s eyes. So if you’re casting Lily, there needs to be a resemblance, but they don’t absolutely have to be green.”)

Dramione My Oh My.
=> I was reading a Dramione fanfic the other day (as I always seem to be doing nowadays) and thought this little passage was quite cute. It put a sm:)e on my face. If it's not understandable as is, it will be if read in context (aka read the linked fanfic).
"Fiction is fiction because the characters are figments of the authors' imaginations. It doesn't mean that what happens to the characters can't happen to you. Say the fictional character eats a banana. The fictional character won't come alive and eat a banana, hence it is fiction. It doesn't mean eating a banana is a fictional action that can never be done." -idina

Take Me To Disney, I Want Mick St. John.
=> Only in Fantasyland. In Fantasyland, no troubling troubles would exist. Only the troubles that you want to exist will, ie. what should I have for dinner tonight? What colour should I use for this friendship bracelet? Troubles that make you over think, cause emotional pain, be put in a funk until you've had a a few shots and 3 hours of Alex O'Loughlin, munchies, and a few fanfics... would not exist. If that were the case, the life would be the best thing since Coconut Cloud Cakes. Too bad Fantasyland doesn't exist and the closest thing is Magic Kingdom WDW.

One Thing That's Continuous.
=> If there's one thing that you can bet on is that I for shiz won't ever be excited for homework no matter what my goals are. There will always be that thing that I'd find more interesting to do than to start... but then once I actually start then that's a different story. Let's just say that at that time, I can probably compete against the Energizer Bunny.

Strange Things On Blogger Com.
=> Okay... well that was a horrid attempt at spoofing Strange Days at Blake Holsey High for the title of this post...
if0nly Life Was Fantasy.,
=> It is however extremely strange though that out of my 3 blogs on this account (not that I have another account anyways), the one with the most view is the one that I will never post to again as it was created for an English project a few years ago. Well I guess albeit, the blog's about one of the Pretty Little Liars books (Wanted) and so with the show's ever growing popularity, the books and thus everything related to them will get attention as well. Oh c'est vie.

The Future As A Fantasy.
=> We constantly dream about doing something, our fantasy, what we strive towards. That something, our goal becomes our future. I like this feeling, of my dream, my fantasy, my goal as an OT getting closer and closer with each day. This is what keeps me going when the studying's got me down. The fact that after this lab, after this exam, after this course, after this year, I WILL be one step closer.

Leaving Life But Returning To Life.
=> Hi there again. So I would guess the bad news is that I no longer have a life... I'm studying / in class like a good 16 hours of the day... I think if I remember correctly. Good news (hopefully?) I that I've found my way back to my blogs (ie. this one & if0nly On Ice. [check the sidebar / dashboard / whatever it's called]).
=> I hate to be depressing and all that, especially on my first post back, but it's really what drove me back; just needed somewhere / something to write it out, say it "aloud" so to speak.
=> Why of all times, why now. What on freaking earth now? Right in the middle of midterms, a few days before my 3 back to backs? WHY!? I don't even know what's going on either. I havn't been like this since a good two / three years ago and even then upon some talking it though for a while I was able to find the "cause" and have some relief upon that. Nope, apparently not this time though. This time there's nothing, it's just me, myself, and my distracting thoughts. You know what sucks most too? It's not even April!!
=> Anyways, Mags out. Hopefully I'll be tired enough to get some sleep tonight before the long long long day tomorrow.

From Hong Kong To Final Year.
=> so to continue my Hong Kong experience 09, I’ll just start off by saying oh em gee it was way too hot and humid. Melted pretty much every single day and as if that wasn’t bad enough, there were 2 typhoons at level 8 and one at level 9. At least I had fun on the day the level 9 hit. While everyone was leaving Ocean Park once it started pouring, me plus family went upwards to the top of the mountains where all the aquariums were. As for HK being shopping lala land? Ptsh yea right, everything there was pretty much the same as here when they’re on sale. Well like yea there are a number of things there that are fairly cheap ie wholesale, knock-offs via bargaining.
Mid-way through the trip, we went to Thailand with 2 of my cousins. Simply put, it made me miss Hong Kong. Honestly like no offence to Thais but Thailand was fairly nauseating…call me a spoiled Canadian. See now I would totally exploit all their tourism scams on here but a) I don’t want to get hunted down b) it’s too nauseating to write about.
After 5 days of “omg can’t wait to get back to HK and actually not feel like throwing up every 2 seconds,” we were finally back to HK. But before that, we had to get onto the plane. FYI when in the Thai airport, go through customs at the last 10 mins before boarding or else like me, you’ll end up stuck on a bridge like thing with nothing to do; no washrooms, eatery, chairs, nothing. On the plane though was the most adorable little girl sitting behind us. I chatted a bit with her dad and found out that they were with the Hong Tai tours and even he thought that our tour was ridiculous in comparison to theirs. We were with Kwan Geen (or something translated like that) btw. Well lesson learnt, never go on a tour with them again; ‘kwan geen kwan sum lai’ is their motto which translates to Kwan Geen cares for you, ptsh well I think their motto should be ‘kwan geen kwan sum cheen’ which translates to Kwan Geen cares about money.
Once back in HK it was the same old same old, too hot and humid. Although I’m so thankful (hallelujah) that where I was staying (one of my uncle’s) had a piano so I was able to cram/practice for my exam set for Aug. 22.
At last, home sweet home. But just as quickly, I was sitting on the piano bench for hours cramming to pick back up my 2 studies, list D piece, and all my technique. So after two weeks, the moment of truth, the exam. I did relatively well, I knew I wasn’t going to pass with flying colours but I was pretty confident that I at least marginally passed. Low and behold, results came in around two weeks later and I passed with a 67 =)
=> that’s pretty much my whole summer. Two months summed up into 5 paragraphs.
The most productive though I have to admit was probably this weekend. On Friday I went with my sister, Leon and Lexx to Ikea to pick up some cabinets and so I spent the weekend finally at last putting my room together. It’s still not fully done yet, but getting there, just missing the final touches.
The most unexpected of my summer was becoming (co)-chair of my fellowship. It was weird because I went into the meeting thinking to drop my position as secretary, not be part of the servant team anymore but still attend the meetings. Iunno it seems like God totally handed me this position on a golden platter cause being chair will no doubt help me in the future and even for universities which at the moment I need all the help I can get. It’s true though I still really care about my kiddies in my fellowship especially after talking to each and every one of them every week via weekly email updates. Meanwhile my parents are just worried I won’t be able to juggle it with school and piano, iunno we’ll see but I do believe that I’m in this position for a reason and my Heavenly Daddy knows that I can do it.
=> and now it’s almost time to bid farewell to UHS. 10 more months before I no longer am a high school student (unless I stay another year). Way back when we were just entering high school you hear about how high school’s the best 4 years of your life (or on the contrary the worst 4 years), but honestly not much really happened. I have no clue what’ll happen this year but the last 3 can be summed up quite easily.
Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other’s gold (via Girl Guides).
Rekindle an broken friendship, break a new friendship.
Get played by one, you play another, be the other woman to the third.
Life lessons learnt to determine your future.
I just realised, these four lines actually each represent one year, well generally anyways. Anywho, it’ll be the beginning of the new school year tomorrow. New niners, new seniors, new circle of life. With this I bid thee a belated one year celebration of i0lwf.

Mid-way through the trip, we went to Thailand with 2 of my cousins. Simply put, it made me miss Hong Kong. Honestly like no offence to Thais but Thailand was fairly nauseating…call me a spoiled Canadian. See now I would totally exploit all their tourism scams on here but a) I don’t want to get hunted down b) it’s too nauseating to write about.
After 5 days of “omg can’t wait to get back to HK and actually not feel like throwing up every 2 seconds,” we were finally back to HK. But before that, we had to get onto the plane. FYI when in the Thai airport, go through customs at the last 10 mins before boarding or else like me, you’ll end up stuck on a bridge like thing with nothing to do; no washrooms, eatery, chairs, nothing. On the plane though was the most adorable little girl sitting behind us. I chatted a bit with her dad and found out that they were with the Hong Tai tours and even he thought that our tour was ridiculous in comparison to theirs. We were with Kwan Geen (or something translated like that) btw. Well lesson learnt, never go on a tour with them again; ‘kwan geen kwan sum lai’ is their motto which translates to Kwan Geen cares for you, ptsh well I think their motto should be ‘kwan geen kwan sum cheen’ which translates to Kwan Geen cares about money.
Once back in HK it was the same old same old, too hot and humid. Although I’m so thankful (hallelujah) that where I was staying (one of my uncle’s) had a piano so I was able to cram/practice for my exam set for Aug. 22.
At last, home sweet home. But just as quickly, I was sitting on the piano bench for hours cramming to pick back up my 2 studies, list D piece, and all my technique. So after two weeks, the moment of truth, the exam. I did relatively well, I knew I wasn’t going to pass with flying colours but I was pretty confident that I at least marginally passed. Low and behold, results came in around two weeks later and I passed with a 67 =)
=> that’s pretty much my whole summer. Two months summed up into 5 paragraphs.
The most productive though I have to admit was probably this weekend. On Friday I went with my sister, Leon and Lexx to Ikea to pick up some cabinets and so I spent the weekend finally at last putting my room together. It’s still not fully done yet, but getting there, just missing the final touches.
The most unexpected of my summer was becoming (co)-chair of my fellowship. It was weird because I went into the meeting thinking to drop my position as secretary, not be part of the servant team anymore but still attend the meetings. Iunno it seems like God totally handed me this position on a golden platter cause being chair will no doubt help me in the future and even for universities which at the moment I need all the help I can get.

Notes When To Hong Kong 09.
=> so well...it's been a while. so i guess all i can say is it's gonna be a long post. fyi, it's kind of in "real time" so pretty much just started typing again in one continuous whenever during the flight. also remember, i was pretty much only 1/2 awake during the whole thing so may not bee too coherent; so much so that even i was getting comfused when re-reading to type this out.
=> (via typed out on phone over a span of 5 hours, july 7th?ish) we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of hong kong. so i found out that if the plane isn't steady aka if it's an airbus, i get terrible airsickness. lucky that was only for the super short flight to chicago for connecting. the 747 was sooo much better and steadier (given that after take off on the airbus i was pretty much sitting there trying not to pass out from dizziness and on the 747 i'm able to do whatever including type this >< )
lessons learnt so far: airbuses make me sick & never open cup noodles with the opening towards yourself. oce second i was a-ok, the next second i had cup noodle seasoning in my eye. they're tasting not bad, a bit too salty but it IS cup noodle after all. also learnt that inside o'hera airport my keybo can't text. grrr. oh well i'll try again when i land [added note: can't text in hk either].
as for in flight movies, 3 tv shows from discovery channel so didn't understand it too much especailly given the fact that i didn't have the earphones in either. then watched He's Just Not That Into You which is just this onee huge love web. it doesn't help either that 2 of the guys looked pretty alike except for that one had highlights. but but but, it was a good movie (btw the dragon's lair guy from sisterhood looked sooo much better in sisterhood than here). then it was a Renée Zellweger movie, New In Town...yea wasn't paying attention at all and was getting tired so no clue what the movie was about. i do know though that it was about her being new in a town that's cold. well then, after that was a drgaon ball z movie, dragonball revolution. the actors all look familiar but didn't know what on earth was going on in the movie. there were orange balls that were very orb-like and then there were those air moving stuff that are colourful and they shoot at each other. there was some guy that was called grotto or gruto or soemthing that sounded familiar...anyways, whatever.
6 hours until landing and we're above syberia [added note: or so that's what we were told]! guess what we saw? land, plateau, emptinessy stuff, and LOTS of rivers and ponds that were semi coated with ice. there was possibly ONE village and a main road. of course not 100% of it really was pure emptyness since we're way up in the sky. and then guess what!? there was a river that spelt out 'plage'...oh snap...just realised that plauge was a U. does 'plare' mean anything? hmm... oh well your pick; it spelt something like that.
monsters vs aliens was on by the time i was getting bored of syberia. it was pretty good. we couldn't remember who did the voicing so we were thinking jennifer love hewitt but then found out via credits that it was reese witherspoon. *sigh* missing The Listener and my lovely CSIs, cntm's finale's next week too. oh! there's 5 movies, though i think that it said that there were only only to be 4. oh well, s'all good! lalalal yea i've eaten enough cranberries to last me a very long time. but do you know what's not gonna last me a long time? yea can't think of one just now either lol. so just found out that the movie's called Last Chance Harvey, well whatever i'm getting tired, gonna take another nap before landing. so apparently i really do have a problem with getting really warm right as and when i fall asleep so now i can't sleep again. took a 20 minute mini nap? i guess i'll just watch harvey then.
=> after a short while we landed in HK. as soon as we stepped off the plane, we died of the humidity and that night was the 1st of 3 typhoons during out trip.
