Yeeees! I am finally done my piano exam, so I am extremely relaxed and content. However, the exam itself went far from perfect. Here's what happened: I did pretty well on my technical requirements and songs, but I totally bombed my sight reading, play back and clapping, so it's a possibility that I just passed... or even worse... failed. Okay, I know I'm being a little dramatic, but you should have heard my sight reading! The examiner had to stop me halfway because it was just so bad! But I'm trying not to worry about it because it's done and over! Okay, so I am still reliving the terrible moment, but it's okay because after a couple of days, I'll be fine!

Anyways, enough about my boring piano exam. After my exam, which took place yesterday, my grandpa, mom, brother and I went to Chinatown. Then, after that we went for lunch which consisted of noodles, congee and more noodles. After lunch, we went to this amazingly cool garden store, where my grandpa and mom bought some soil and grass seeds for the lawn and my brother and I looked at Venus Flytraps. And guess what? We got a Venus Flytrap! Aren't we just so lucky? I'm really happy because my brother and I have the responsibility of looking after it. We're hoping that we raise it really nicely and maybe our parents might agree to getting us a pet. Both my parents have had pets when they were young, but for some reason, my brother and I don't get pets. A little on the mean side, don't you think? But I guess they do have their reasons for not letting us get pets. Well, we were at the garden shop for a really long time, but my brother and I both got something we are now really excited about - a "pet".

Today, my family and I went to Krause Berry Farms to pick blueberries. It was just so awesome, and in the end, we picked about 13.4 kgs! Is that crazy or what? Krause Berry Farms is in Langley, and we had to drive for about an hour to get there, but I think it was totally worth it. It was really great, because we got to buy a lot of produce too. There were all sorts of veggies, and in the end we got some corn, green beans, zucchinis, potatoes, jams, a bar of honey soap, some pies and we also took some of their famous blueberry shortcakes home. I also loved their milkshakes. There is also this little patio area where you can buy some of their foods and eat it here. We had 1 strawberry milkshake, 2 blueberry milkshakes, 1 slice of their corn pizza, and 1 blueberry shortcake. In the end, the whole family had loads of fun. We really like that farm because they have amazingly sweet fruits, and they are pretty well known for their yummy fruit pies!

My random thought/statement of the day: I love their shortcakes!

Okay, I'm beginning to slightly freak out over my piano exam. My brother's exam is tomorrow and mine is the day after, so as you can guess, I'm starting to worry. The weird part is, my brother seems totally relaxed and isn't even stressing out over it... Hmmmm, something odd with the picture? I'm not full out freaking out yet, so don't worry. I mean, I am nervous, but compared to most other times, pretty relaxed.

Anyways, about today. I woke up at 8am today so that I could go practice piano before my brother and my 10:45am piano lesson. After practicing, we had a quick breakfast and then headed off to our piano lesson. Since our exam was really close, we had a practice-exam. And to tell you the truth, I think I did fairly well. Since piano exams are out of 100, but 60 is a pass, it makes things a little more challenging. In school, you only need to get a 50 to pass, but I guess piano exams are different. As I was saying, after the piano lesson, my mom, brother and I went Downtown to the Cactus Club Cafe for lunch. There, my mom and I had the salmon burger with ceasar salad and my brother had the salmon burger with fries. I guess you can say we love the salmon burger there! But then again, their salmon burger is the best! I love how the salmon practically melts in your mouth, and it's just so flavourful and yummy. Not only that, but the tartar sauce is really great and the whole burger is just amazing. Their ceasar salad is one of the best too! The dressing is light, yet all the flavours come through. And everything is crispy and fresh. And as usual, I had iced tea with my meal and my brother had Sprite. Yum! Finally, for dessert, we had their awesome chocolate lava cake. At first, I thought that it would be too sweet, but with the vanilla ice cream, and raspberry sauce, the flavours were just right! After that yummy lunch, we went to Superstore to get some groceries and then came back home.

My random thought/statement of the day: Darn, I feel sleepy already!

Okay, so today was totally awesome. Sure, there have been other awesome days, but this tops most of my summer days (except going to Sunshine Coast!). Today, my family and I went Downtown! To tell you the truth, I hate Downtown, but I think subconsciously, I love it. The part I hate about it would be all the homeless people, the druggies, the poor people asking for money, the dirtiness... I could go on forever just explaining the problems with our Downtown. But I'm not gonna, because that would be just weird. And probably slightly boring. But at the same time, I love the excitement, the shops, the malls, the people. It's what makes Vancouver what Vancouver is. Well, today after attending my brother and my dentist appointment, we went Downtown. The main reason we went down there would be because my mom had to run an errand for her friend. (We don't usually go Downtown.) So after running that quick errand, we started to decide on where we should eat lunch. In the end, my dad recommended we go to this student-operated restaurant. I'm not too sure how to describe it, but here goes. It's a culinary school that opens from 11:30pm-2:00pm for lunch (I don't know about dinner...) and chefs and waiters in training serve us. So in other words, it's a win-win program. Because those students get to practice and learn to cook for guests in a real kitchen in real circumstances. And the guests (us) get to eat high-quality foods and rate them, and in a way, also support their education. This culinary school is a part of Pacific Centre Mall Downtown, so not only do we get to eat delicious food, but after eating, we were able to go shopping. I purchased a cardigan from Hollister, and since there is no other Hollister location around where I usually shop, I was quite happy to shop there.

At the restaurant, I ordered an amazing warm salmon salad nicotice for my entree. This entree was absolutely delicious! There was a nice little spinach, tomato, potato, green bean and olive salad, (with the best exotic dressing and sitting on top of all that, was tender, juicy and flaky salmon fillet. For dessert, a vanilla-custard concoction sitting on a bead of cubed apples, pineapples and cantaloupes. (Sorry, the name of my yummy dessert escapes me.) And for a drink, I had iced tea. My parents, brother and I all had different drinks, entrees and dessert, so I got to try a lot of different dishes. I thought the service, food and presentation was just lovely, and if I had the chance, I would definitely go there again.

My random thought/statement of the day: I love food! Hahahaha. (And soft, cottony cardigans!)

Gosh, another rainy day. I made plans with my friends to go watch a movie today, but since it's so rainy, we cancelled. I mean, it's just not as fun. Rain really downs my vibe. I've noticed that if it's sunny, I feel really sunny and happy too, but right now, I'm really dull. Not to mention my brother is supposed to be playing piano, but he keeps on stopping. Urg! Sometimes, I really detest these kind of days. You know, the ones where there is nothing to do, yet so much to do? I know, I should probably start to study my theory, but I just don't wanna. I'm probably gonna take a really long nap after this blog. Last night, I slept at 1am. Mainly it's because my mom had 2 of her friends over and we had her famous wontons. Actually, I really like my mom's friends. They are always nice, friendly and funny. But it's not like they left extremely late. They left at about 10pm, and I guess I just kept keeping myself occupied until 1am. Then, I was really tired. We were gonna sleep at 12:30am, but my brother turned on the T.V, and we watched Mythbusters until I was half asleep. Cool huh? I really like watching Mythbusters. They are always so funny and interesting. Totally awesome show.

My random thought/statement of the day: This morning, we got to try out this new dim sum place, and the food there was pretty good! Really nice decor too!

Blog Summer21

What a rainy day! After such hot weather, there was finally the nice, perfectly hot and cold weather and finally, the stage we are at right now. Rainy, cold days. I must say, these rainy days are much more comfortable than the smoking hot ones. At least we don't have to keep the fan on 24/7. Although today is Monday, both my parents took the day off, so after I woke up at around 10am, we went to the bank and then set out for lunch. In the end, we went to this new place for dim sum. The food there was pretty good, unfortunately, I'm not that into dim sum, so I can't say I was totally excited. I don't hate dim sum or anything, but I only eat 3/10 dishes that arrive, so then my parents usually order a fried rice or noodle dish afterwards so I don't walk away hungry. But then again, I wouldn't have been hungry that time because I had a large slice of toast and half a cup of chocolate milk before we left. Yummm, it's not that I don't like normal white milk or anything, but we usually get 1% skimmed milk which practically has no flavour, so my brother and I like to mix it up with some 2% chocolate milk to make it taste a lot better.

So after we were done eating our lunch, we went to Granville Island upon my mom's request. Although I kinda like Granville Island, for some reason, I don't find it that great. Sure, it's really fun but I prefer to go there as a field trip with my friends. I'm not sure why, but that's just the way I like it. And to tell you the truth, I have been to Granville Island as a field trip at least 4 times in my life, so I'm not complaining. The first time would have been in grade 4. Then, I went in grade 6, 7 and 8. Pretty intense right? So I guess Granville Island is a pretty popular field trip place, or I was just lucky enough to go all those times. Actually, 2/4 times we went there, we went to see a play. The other ones were for a treasure hunt and a performance.

My random thought/statement of the day: I realized that when it's a rainy day, I feel like sleeping. Hmmm, maybe after blogging this, I'll go and take a nap in my room.

I am so happy right now! I just realized that today has been an awesome day. In just a few minutes, my brother and I will be heading out to go bike riding with a few of my friends. I haven't hung out with my friends for a while, and I really miss them, so I am super duper excited! We are going out at 8pm and hopefully coming back by 9pm. So in other words, we are going to spend a good hour exercising! I am really happy about that because I love exercising during the summer, it's fun, the weather is really nice and it's good to do it with friends. But before all this is going to happen, I'm going to go back to the past and talk about what I did this afternoon. After eating a yummy lunch consisting of homemade noodles in soup with wontons, my mom, brother and I went to Richmond Centre. But before that, we went to Staples. At Staples, I bought some back to school stuff. I know, crazy right? We still have a month of summer, but back to school stuff is already out in stores. (It actually makes me kinda mad... it's like they want to remind us that our fun time of summer is almost up.) Anyways, after getting 4 binders, we went to Richmond Centre. There, I went to American Eagle and got a nice pair of gray Bermudas. My brother on the other hand went to West 49 and got 2 graphic tees and a 2010 Olympic hoody from the Bay.

My random thought/statement of the day: Actually, in my opinion, this blog is pretty random.

Blog Summer19

So you're probably thinking... is it just me, or did she miss a day blogging. Well, that's right. Yesterday was my last day at Sunshine Coast and unfortunately, I was so busy, I couldn't blog. From the moment I got up, I was busy until the moment I went to sleep. (Which by the way, wasn't a good sleep because my 2 mosquito bites were driving me crazy!) So lets start from the beginning! Yesterday, when I woke up, my parents and grandpa were already long awake. I was the last one to sleep that night, so I would have thought I would have woken up the latest. But for some reason, my brother was sound asleep, beside me. By the time I was finally out of bed, he was still sleeping, and he looked so peaceful, so I just let him doze off. (Don't worry, Tuffy was looking out for him.) For breakfast, mom had cooked up some more noodles, so we each had some noodles with last night's dinner. We were to return the key to the house by 11am, and by the time I finished eating, it was just about 9am. My brother woke up a little after that.

Anyways, by the time we had finished packing up and cleaning the house, and double checking that everything was in the car, we went out to the beach one last time. It was just so pretty! I noticed that during the morning, it's low tide, but in the evening, around sunset, it's high tide! I also noticed that on the beach, there were loads of little baby crabs. And when I mean a lot, I mean A LOT. Come to think of it, it's actually kinda gross... So as I was saying, we went down to the beach one more time where my mom took a couple more pictures and my brother and I gathered a few more pretty sea shells and then we went back to the cottage. There, my brother and I played our last few games of Happy Suit Case (a card game) and everyone else just relaxed on the soft sofas. Finally, when it was around 11am, we went to the cottage owner and returned the key to him.

I still really miss the Garden Cottage, but at least we were lucky enough to spend 4 days and 3 nights there! So when we left Roberts Creek (the location of the Garden Cottage), we went to Sechelt where we walked around the beach and then went into town for the last time. There, we had lunch at a beautiful Greek restaurant called Daphne. I thought the lunch at Daphne's was really great. The service was amazing, our server, was really kind, smiled a lot and just gave off a really happy vibe. I also liked the design of the inside of the restaurant. It looked really Greek, and there was a spectacular mural on the wall about who Daphne was, and why the restaurant was name after her. The story was actually really interesting too! (I love Greek myths!) I had the souvlaki wrap with chicken and mixed greens, my brother had an 8 oz cheese burger with fries, my mom had the mushroom caps with toast, my dad had the Caesar salad and my grandpa had the special of the day which was a turkey breast sandwich with the soup special. Another reason I loved Daphne's so much was the kitchen. It was an open kitchen, and you could see them preparing the food. Very cool. I saw them grill up my brother's burger.

After looking around at Sechelt, we drove over to Gibsons where the ferry terminal was. I can't truly describe the ride there because both my brother and I went fast asleep. But once we woke up, we both got gelatos and ate them as we walked around Gibsons. My brother got cookies 'n cream and chocolate mint in a cup and I got strawberry and cookies 'n cream in a waffle cone. Personally, I love gelatos and ice cream, so I enjoyed this a lot. So after a while, we checked into the ferry terminal and after about 30 minutes, we were able to board the ferry.

When we finally got back home, it was about 5pm. After putting all the clothes into the laundry basket and putting everything else back to it's original spot, it was approximately 6pm. Since the last time we ate something was around lunch time, we were getting pretty hungry and tired. Mom didn't really want to cook, so instead, we went out for dinner. We went to a nice Chinese restaurant we are very familiar with, and the food there practically tastes like home food, so it was all good. After 4 days of eating other foods, it felt good to eat at a familiar place with familiar food. I'm not saying that I didn't like the food we ate over the trip, because I loved that food, but it's always good when you eat something you know you love. When we got back home, I felt so stuffed, I couldn't eat anything else. So after reading for a while, I took a bath and then went on to practicing piano.

My random thought/statement of the day: I can't believe that it's back to school in less than a month!

I can't believe this is our last night here at Sunshine Coast. Tomorrow, we are leaving and going back home. Although I like that because I can hang out with friends again, I'm really gonna miss Sunshine Coast. Here, it's so small and everyone is super-duper friendly compared to Vancouver. I mean, Vancouver is nice with all the big malls, but Sunshine Coast is the exact opposite of that. Throughout my whole stay here, I only visited one mall (today) and it was really small. Anyways, time to talk about what happened today! Well, last night, my brother and I stayed up pretty late playing cards (everyone was already asleep) and we slept at around 12:15am. So today we woke up an hour later than last morning. But apparently, that was cool with our parents. When we finally woke up, we had a HUGE breakfast of toast, noddles and milk. (Weird combo right?) Then, we set out and went to Sechelt again. There, we stopped by A&W and mum and dad got some coffee, then we went shopping and just looking around. My brother and I got to pick something at the dollar store there, and we each chose these mega cool water pistols. (You know, the ones that are like water guns, but much simpler to operate.) And I got an extra pack of bouncy balls. Actually, none of the items we got were a dollar and the majority of what was in the store was over a dollar... so I wonder why it's called a dollar store. The water pistols were $5 and the balls were $1.5. So... not a dollar but pretty good stuff.

Then, after getting the water pistols, we went to the nearby Sechelt park whose name escapes me, but it was pretty nice. There were 2 different parks, 1 large soccer field, 1 basketball court, 2-3 tennis courts and 1 baseball diamond. I thought that park was especially awesome because there were 4 sets of see-saws, so I would rank that park an 8/10. I would have given it a 9, but there were a lot of Canadian geese on the soccer field and the pooped everywhere. (I'm very serious). I had to scrape poo off my shoe with a stick before I got into the car. There, my dad, grandpa and brother played soccer and the field, and my mom and I played badminton on the baseball diamond. Pretty fun stuff. Near the end, we started to play basketball with the soccer ball and when my brother spotted the see-saw sets, he and I went racing to play there. I don't know why, but my favourite playground apparatus would be the see-saw. Maybe it's because there aren't any see-saws around many parks anymore.

When we were finally done playing, it was almost 1:30pm. And like I said last blog, we planned to go swimming at the community centre, so that is precisely what we did. There were a lot of people already there at the swimming pool, so it wasn't as fun, but we still had a really great time. That swimming pool was actually pretty small, but there were enough activities to occupy us for a really long time. There was a water slide, a rope, a diving board, a fast-paced water current area, a fun pool, a deep pool, a hot tub etc. You get the idea... My brother and I kinda liked the fun pool more than the deep pool, so we spent the majority of our time there. But that doesn't mean we didn't go anywhere else! Because we tried out everything that was available. And I must say, we had a grand time!

So you might be thinking... What did we have for lunch? Well, that's just it. We didn't have lunch! By the time we were out of the pool, it was already 4pm, so instead, we had a little bit of bread and my brother and I went and got HUGE gelatos. Hey, I was hungry, and we're on vacation, so it's okay for us to have junk food for lunch. Yeah, for lunch, my brother and I had gelatos, kettle korn and pretzels. Yummy huh? I thought the gelato place was really cool. The people who served us where really friendly and nice and it was just plain yummy! My brother had a hot fudge-chocolate sundae (typical of him) and I had a pistachio gelato on waffle cone (not so typical of me), but hey, summer's meant for trying new stuff and flavours. I usually take waffle cone, but not usually pistachio, so voila, something new!

After finishing our very late "lunch" we went grocery shopping for dinner, and currently, mum's finishing up dinner, dad's cutting up the chicken, grandpa's helping out, my brother's in the living room playing D.S and I'm finishing up this blog so I can help out for dinner. I realized that I never really got to describe the cute little cottage we are staying at, so I'll try to fit that in some time.

My random thought/statement of the day: My brother and I have scheduled a major water fight with our new water pistols after dinner. Wish me luck so I'm not drenched at the end of it!

So, as you know, I blogged this morning about what happened yesterday because yesterday, I didn't have time to blog. (Is that statement confusing?) Anyways, right now, mum's making dinner, my grandpa is trying to get a wasp out the window, dad is looking at a map he bought, my brother is in our room pouting over loosing a board game and I am blogging (duh!) Today was so much fun! After blogging in the morning, mom made us all breakfast egg toasts with juice. Although it wasn't the ideal breakfast, it was still really good. After eating, we washed up, packed up and walked down to the beach and just hung around for about 5 minutes. Then, we went on our way. Mum and dad had planned for us all to go to nearby places like Halfmoon Bay, Secret Cove etc. but we got extremely lost on the highway, so we just went to Sechelt. I won't go in detail about getting lost because that section of the day really isn't worth blogging for, so I'll talk about the part when we finally got to Sechelt. By the time we got there, it was around 12:45pm, so naturally we were all pretty hungry by then. But before we went to look for a restaurant, we went to the visitor center in the town square. There, my brother and I got some post cards for our friends and my parents looked at maps. (That was where my dad got the map he's currently looking at.) After about 15 minutes, we went to a nearby restaurant in Sechelt and had a really yummy lunch. The place we went to was called Village Restaurant. There, I had a 6oz steak with baked spaghetti and some garlic toast. I also ordered my usual drink, iced tea. I know what you must be thinking: how can she eat so much? Well, don't worry because I didn't finish it all. (That would be waaaaay too much for me!) But at the time I was exceptionally hungry and I almost finished it all.

After eating a really large meal, we were deciding whether to go to the community center's swimming pool or the nearby Davis Beach. In the end we picked Davis Beach and scheduled swimming for tomorrow. But before we headed off in the car again, my mom, brother and I went to the local gift shops to look at stuff. The most significant shop would have been the bead store. There, my mom bought an absolutely beautiful pair of earrings and 2 strings of petite, glass beads. I really liked the earrings, and although they were a bit on the pricey side, they are truly beautiful! After the miniature shopping spree, we headed off to Davis Beach.

At Davis Beach, I think my brother and I had the most fun. We first were a little timid and didn't really want to go into the water all that much, but after a while of seeing all those people have fun, we decided to toss our sandals to the side and hop into the water. We didn't go straight-out swimming because we didn't have our bathing suites handy, but seeing as we both were wearing shorts, we just waded in. It was sooooooo much fun and I really really really really wanna do it again. We picked up seaweed and flung it at each other, we jumped over the upcoming waves and we splashed around. I just loved the sensation of sand going between my toes. I don't know why, but I just love it so much! After a while, our parents called us in to wash our feet by the nearby tap and then we sat on the bench and ate some blueberries and nectarines. Yum! We also saw these people making amazing sand castles. Unfortunately, it was high tide, and soon, the castle was immersed in water. I thought that was too bad, because it actually looked pretty good.

Finally, when we were dried off, my brother and I threw a blueberry into the sea and watched it as it slowly went away. We threw the blueberry because we thought it would be kinda monumental and stuff. So we could remember it as a special moment and think back to it. Maybe even say, "Hey, remember when we threw the blueberry into the waters of Davis Beach?" After, we stopped by at the local Marketplace and bought some chicken drumsticks, lettuce, carrots, milk and other foods. And now, we're back at the cute little cottage.

My random thought/statement of the day: I LOVE VACATIONS!

Blog Summer16

Well, guess where I am right now? I'm in Roberts Creek, Sunshine Coast. It's like a little family trip. I actually got here yesterday but I didn't have much time to blog, so here I am today (really early in the morning) blogging. I usually wake up at about 10am, so this is 2 hours ahead of my usual sleep time. I was still gonna sleep some more, but then my brother woke up and since I share the bed with him, I woke up too. Lets just say that when he wakes up, he has to let the whole entire world know. I guess I'm still a little on the sleepy side because I stayed up last night too, but that doesn't matter because vacation is always fun.

Okay, so yesterday, I had to wake up at about 6:30am (gasp) so we could do the final pack up and what not. Then, a little bit later, we left the house and headed to the ferry terminal. Since we were going to Sunshine Coast, we had to go on a ferry (much to my delight). I don't know why, but I really really love ferries. Actually, I love a lot of things including travel, but for some reason, ferries are just amazingly fun. If you think about it, there isn't much to do on a ferry. But I just love it. First thing we did once we finally got on the ferry was get good seats. Luckily, the wait at the ferry terminal wasn't too long, so I wasn't bored to death. Then, I went to the Gift Shop (like usual) and looked at the souvenirs and magazines. I love the gift shops on ferries because they always have the largest collection of magazines. Anyways, after that, my brother, mom and I went out and took a couple pictures. My brother and I really wanted to go to the front of the ferry, where it was extremely windy, but my mom wasn't too fond of that idea. In the end, we got to stay at the front of the ferry for about 10 seconds which was good enough for me. Don't worry, front-of-the-ferry, I will be back to ride you when I return home!

After we got off the ferry (the ride was exceptionally short) we started to head for Gibsons. Since the check-in time for the cottage we were renting was at 3pm, we had to wait a while (we arrived about about 11am.) So we spent the next 4 hours in the town of Gibsons. I was really surprised at the difference in the whole town. They didn't have a huge mall, or tons of major super-markets or places to buy clothes like American Eagle, or anything like that. I kinda liked how it was so serene and very different from Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey and Burnaby. The whole town was cuter and had a really nice, welcoming feel to it. Everyone was also very very nice. We walked around, walked along the harbor, shopped at the local stores and just looked around at the beautiful scenery. I was really surprised to find out that their "downtown" was so different from ours. We have huge high-rises, busy streets, druggies, homeless people and tall buildings in our downtown. In our downtown, it seems as if all the streets are always in shadows because all the tall buildings block out the light. But it was so different. For one thing, our downtown is HUGE while the downtown at Gibsons was only about 2 streets. The downtown at Gibsons was nicer, a lot sunnier and everyone was friendly and kind. So although the downtown in Vancouver has more stuff to look at, I think the downtown in Gibsons is much better.

So after looking around at the little shops, we went to have lunch. We went to this place by the sea (darn it, I don't remember the name) where I had the most yummiest fish and chips ever! There was still breakfast, so my brother got the big breakfast which consisted of toast, hash browns, lots of bacon and scrambled eggs. My mom got a portabella mushroom burger, my dad got a yummy chicken burger and my grandpa also got fish and chips. I got the 1 piece cod fish and my grandpa got both cod and halibut. I thought that the fish and chips there were really great because the batter was light and crispy and the fish was just so tender, it would practically melt in my mouth. The fries were also really great, and the coleslaw was really light and wasn't covered in vats of mayo.

By the time we finished lunch, it was about 1:30pm, so we went to the Sunshine Coast museum. The museum was actually quite small, but there was a lot to look at. They had many different exhibits, and I just love history, so museums are a must-go-to for me. My favourite exhibit there was the butterfly table. There were so many different butterflies, I think that was the most I had ever seen in my life! Some had a metallic hue to them and others were so large, they were bigger than my fist!

After visiting the museum, it was almost 3pm, so we decided to head to the Garden Cottage (the cottage we are currently staying at). I'm not gonna go into detail about the Cottage right now, mainly because I've gotta go soon, but I'll blog again about what today is all about later.

My random thought/statement of the day: I love how this cottage is by the beach, and it only takes about 2 minutes to walk down to the beach.

Blog Summer15

Okay, so the last few days have been extremely hot, but today is much, much better. Although I still have the fan on, I don't need to bring it to high. I think right now is just low or medium. In the last 2 weeks or so, I have read approximately 4 books and 3 comics. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but the 4 books are all pretty thick and it's not like I read 24/7. I also spend a lot of my time knitting, watching television, eating, sleeping and going outside to enjoy the weather. Actually, this blog will be mostly about yesterday and today combined. I don't like to turn on the computer every day during summer time, so I don't blog every day. So instead, I might blog a lot about a couple days. I just find it so much better if I spend my summer a little more active instead of gluing myself to the laptop. Well, yesterday something really strange happened. When I went shopping at American Eagle, I went to the try something on in the change rooms, but for some reason... the room that I went to had a messed up door or something. So after I was done trying everything on, I went to leave. But for some reason, the door wouldn't budge. After I called the employees to help out, someone had to climb in through the top and get me out. Ironic huh? While I was in there for about 25 minutes or so, I just sat around and tried to bang open the door. It was kinda cool how they opened the door and I am so grateful I got out.

Anyways, this event happened yesterday, so it's not that big of a deal now, but it was then. Today is quite an interesting day for me. Not only is it a relatives birthday, but tomorrow, my family and I are going on vacation! I'm pretty happy about it and can't wait. Too bad my piano exam is practically right after the vacation! That means I have to practice like crazy while I can before the vacation starts!

My random thought/statement of the day: I love drinking chilled juice!

Toddlez!
