I haven't posted for a whole week now. Long things short, I've had a migraine for the past 4ish days, and it's really starting to get to me. Migraines, for those who don't know, are basically headache extremes, they hurt a lot more, and come with a lot of other complications. Complications may include things like light and/or sound sensitivity, dizziness, nausea, throwing up, trouble concentrating at school/work, etc. And people who get migraines generally have them on a pretty regular basis, which sucks. Depending on the seriousness of the condition, over the counter meds may do it, or else the doctor may prescribe stronger pills.
My migraine has lasted 4 days this week. It usually lasts 1-2, or maybe 3 max. And it'd be on and off throughout the day. But this time it was pretty much throughout the whole day, consistently for 4 days straight. I've never had a migraine for this long, so I'm a bit worried now. I know and have realized that over the past couple of days, I've eaten certain foods which may have triggered a re-attack or whatnot, but even still, those foods were eaten in moderation and shouldn't have had as large of an effect on me as it had.
I guess just please pray for health, and that I'll get better soon, because I have quite a load of homework to do this weekend, and if the migraine hinders me from getting it done, I'll be even more stressed out about school next week. Your prayers are most definitely appreciated. Thanks in advance. (:
Hope to write again soon!

Wow. So much has been happening over the past few days that I haven't had time to blog. Many updates for tonight then I guess!
First off, went to visit Queen's University on Tuesday! The 3 hour drive up was intense. And I mean intense. I had to wake up at like 5am in the morning, and leave home at 5:45am. The friend who came along with me arrived at my house at 5:40am. That's dedication. The day itself was pretty good, although the whole day could've been arranged better by the Queen's people in general. It wasn't my first time visiting Queen's (went in grade 10 as well), so I kind of knew what to expect. The campus was gorgeous as usual, and the food was amazing. Can't beat $5 all you can eat lunch! I got a lot more of my questions answered and just had a better sense of what I wanted to go into and stuff. It was a great day all in all! Super tiring and exhausting though. There's lots of pictures of my day on Facebook if you want to check it out.
Second. TC2012! Wow, what can I say. It was just an amazing two days, bonding with Team Refined and receiving lots of reminders from God about how I should be living my life. I'd say I didn't get much of a spiritual high this year, which is good, because that wasn't my motive for going this year. I wanted something deeper coming out of TC this year, something more genuine and everlasting. And I think all those little lessons and reminders from God were just what I needed. My team, Refined, was amazing, and we had a lot of spirit by the end of the two days. My captains and coaches were amazing, and they made TC2012 such a memorable experience. They really did go all out for us, but more importantly, they went all out for God. I'm particularly proud of my two female captains, because they've decided to make the decision to get baptized this Easter! What a real treat that is! I'm so excited for them, and so glad that they've chosen to become a part of God's amazing family! Again, lots of pictures and videos from the two days on Facebook, so please please go and take a look! And if you were at TC this year too, hope you got something memorable out of it and that you didn't go for the hype! And for those who didn't go to TC this year or have never heard of what TC is, I strongly encourage you to come join us at TC2013 next year during March Break! You will not be disappointed, because God is the centre of it all!
Today was the day after TC2012. It was very hard to break free from the whole experience I've got to say, and I constantly have to remind myself that TC is only the beginning and although I won't get to see my team everyday anymore, the friendships will last forever, and I will see many of my teammates in heaven one day. That is a very rewarding thing. Today, I went to visit Wilfrid Laurier University, in Waterloo. I really really loved the campus. Because it is a smaller university, a lot of the buildings are closer together (some are even linked!) and just the whole community feeling amongst the students is so much tighter. That's something I really like about this school. It has a very prestigious music program too, which is what I'm looking to go into at Laurier, so that's nice. Whether I get in next year or not will be a different story altogether. The people were really friendly, and the residences were really nice and spacious, so I'm sure no matter which residence I may get should I choose to go to Laurier, it will be an amazing experience. It was strange for me to go to Laurier actually, because only about 5% of the student population is Asian. It was like a huge culture shock. Bam. You're a minority now. Wow. A bit mindblown, although I'm sure should I choose to come to Laurier, I'll quickly be able to adjust to that.
Tomorrow is a lesson day. I have math class early in the morning, which I'm not looking forward to at all. I'm still in such a March Break mood. But at least I get the afternoon off tomorrow. Normally I have dance, but it's cancelled tomorrow, so I get to chill with my friends instead! We're having a hangout party at one of my friend's houses, which should be interesting! Playing Wii, snacking, potlucking, and just spending quality bonding time together. I'm really looking foward to it. It'll likely be my last "fun event" before school starts too. Ah, I'm not ready for Monday at all.
A prayer request. Continue to pray for hope, patience, and persistence, because life is still tough right now. Family problems here and there, some friends struggling with various things in their lives, financial problems (that won't go away any time soon), and just lots of stuff to do over the next little while in general. Please also pray that I'll continue to have a burning passion for God, and that my flame won't die out, because I'm a little scared of all that happening once TC is over. I know I didn't go for the hype this year and that I'm not on much of a spiritual high this year, but nonetheless, some of the emotions and feelings still remain, so yeah, keep that fire burning for God!
What a long post today. I guess that's what happens when I don't post for 4 days and try to fit all 4 updates into one huge post. Anyway. It's super late now, and I should sleep, even though I don't have to wake up early tomorrow. Not 5, 6, 7, or 8. Thank goodness I get to sleep in. Some much needed rest for sure. Alright, nights!

Sunday, wow already.
Time flies eh?
Today was all in all, a pretty good day.
Church this morning was nice, the message was really convicting and it made a lot of sense to me. Teaching grade 1s after (I was supply-teaching) was really cool, because I've never taught kids that young before. It just kind of brings a new perspective of thought to my life, because they're so innocent, and they try so hard to tell you what they know. They're adorable.
I went yum cha (the dim sum stuff) after church today with my parent's cell group. We stayed at the restaurant for a long time because the parent's wanted to talk. The kids table (where I was at) kept ourselves entertained with our gadgets and stuff. The food was good though at the least. My favourite dish was the glutinous rice balls with mango filling. It was absolutely delicious!
This is very strange. I haven't blogged about food in a very long time haha.
After that, I came home and finished some stuff before going out again. Spent most of the early evening out at Toogood Pond and Main Street with family friends and their siblings and playing with their dog. It was a lot of fun, getting to run up and down hills and around the playground with a dog beside me. A pretty intense cardio workout too, if you ask me. But I really love dogs, so I really don't mind. And since the weather is so nice, I might even go walking again tomorrow.
I won't tell you what exactly I'm doing tomorrow yet, but it should be a pretty fun day. I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow, or else I won't be able to go out and walk.
The rest of the week will keep me very busy, which means I must finish my business essay tomorrow. I'm about a third done. Hm. Better work harder tomorrow.
I took a personality disorder test tonight. Told me I had a very high chance of having borderline personality disorder. Research the symptoms on your own or ask me if you want. Besides that, a high chance of avoidant personality disorder as well. I agree I have the symptoms of both, but I just never knew there were legit names for my struggles. I'm not gonna "fixate" on these results though, it's just kind of good to be aware of what I'm struggling and dealing with. Hmm. I think I'll lift it up to God in prayer tonight too.
Okay. That's a lot of writing for one night. I think I'll stop for now. Nights.

Wow, what an amazing day. All in all, God, it was a very good day.
I'm not sure how much I'll be able to type before I get tired and fall asleep, but I'll try my best.
Lunch today was quite an adventure. A group of friends and I got delivery from a certain restaurant, and in my meal, there were lots of tiny bits and pieces of hair. Yes, hair. And a lot of it too. Like 10+ pieces. It was black, and it seemed to look like the remaining hair that is shed after a male gets a haircut. I tried to eat my way around the pieces of hair as I removed them, but in the end, we called the restaurant and filed a complaint and had them redeliver my meal free of charge. What an event.
Tonight was cell group night. Even though many people didn't end up coming, it was nice because we were able to have a "girl's night out" with the girls that were here. We played Just Dance 3, made dinner together, watched a movie, and prayed. I learnt a lot and gained a lot of reminders from God just about life, and how I should be living my life. It was just really great to be able to get back together with a close group of believers and truly be able to delve into each other's lives for a few hours.
As a result of spending my whole day with church people, I didn't get a chance to see my cousin. I was actually quite disappointed that both her gathering and the church planning/gathering meeting was on the same day, but then again, priorities and commitment is key. We talked on the phone today, but it's different to see someone in person you know? (Cuz, if you're reading this right now, I'm really sorry I couldn't come! D: Definitely next time though. Keep me notified. Love you lots ! <3)
TC is in a few days, and to be honest, I don't feel hyped up about it this year at all. It's not necessarily that my expectations are low or anything, I'm just really not feeling it this year. Maybe it'll change once I actually get to TC, but as of now, I'm not super excited nor looking forward to the event. It's strange, I've really never felt this way before about TC. But I guess there's a first for everything.
I'm really tired, and in fact, it's almost 1am. Oh gosh. Okay, that's all for tonight. Nights.

My parents are asjflkajsdklf-ing again. Meaning fighting. Great. Just great.
About like everything too over the past few days. Finances, money, me, my brother, attitudes and perspectives, teaching methods, dinner times and how fast someone can cook, like seriously EVERYTHING. Gosh. When will this stop?
Friends know about it. I complain about it the instant it happens. I don't mean to bug them with it and clog their brains with more problems, but, it's just so overwhelming. And to make things worse, cousin's parents are fighting too. It's like the whole cycle is starting again. Goes up, and down and stays better for a while, and then rises again. What a nightmare.
Things from yesterday seem so distant right now, yes it's still consciously on my mind so much. Feeling like an invisible. I walked away from my normal friend group today, because I just couldn't keep my patience levels at norm, and I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would burst and explode at them. So instead, I went to find some grade 11s and I spent the remainder of lunch with them instead. They were very comforting and accepting, and we were just able to joke around. That was really really nice (: That's what friends are supposed to do anyway, right?
I'm not feeling well today actually. Like physically. I feel sick. Probably ate something gross during lunch today that made me feel weird. Stomach's been hurting on and off all day, and I got my first migraine of the month today as well. Just great. A lot of other people are sick though. Please pray for one of my friends, literally right after our quiz in class today, she just collapsed and put her head down for the rest of the period. She was really not feeling well, but she was kind of forcing herself to stay in class, and in band after school too, because she's a really good student and doesn't want to like, skip class you know? Really hope she feels better soon, kind of sucks having to see others sick and in so much pain, for a lack of a better word.
I'm out all day tomorrow, all for church things. Waking early too. One of my parents is okay with it, the other is really against it. Against me going out, even for church in general. Well, as with all things, it's hard to get both of my parents to have the same mindset, but I guess just pray that God will speak through me to them and that they'll hopefully be able to see that I'm really trying to glorify God through all that I'm doing?
I'm tired. And I should probably sleep soon, because I'm sick too. Okay I guess that's all I'll write for today. I hope tomorrow will bring about a better day (: Toodles.

I'm the type of girl who can be so hurt but still look at you & smile and is willing to brighten your day even if I can't brighten my own.
if you're gonna keep making me feel invisible, i might as well just find someone else.
those were my phrases of the day. until about 30 minutes ago. shortly after i posted them, a few very special friends messaged me and asked me what's up. told them some details, and i'm very thankful they asked. i still feel a bit ajslfkjasdlkf, because i really don't know what will happen at school tomorrow, but i have hope that things way work out for the better.
that's all i'm gonna post right now. i'm so tired. good night

Whatever the words, if the motive isn’t love, it’s just noise.
^ That's something that was in my devos today. Hard to keep in mind, but I'm going to try. I'm gonna try because I know it's true and I want others to realize it too.
I'm actually not that excited for March Break. In fact, I'm kind of unmotivated for it. It's just like, oh, a week off of school, nbd. I mean yes there will be friend gatherings and time to spend with family and work out at the gym and TC and all, but really, it's not as big a deal for me as everyone is making it anymore. I guess it partially has to do with that list of "negative things" that I put on yesterday's post. Still can't exactly wrap my mind around it all just. I did figure it'd be best to bring it to God though. I won't go into detail about those points though, because it's very personal for me and my family. Yeah. I'll leave it at that. But if you could just please pray for me and my family, that'd be awesome (: Thanks.
School today was okay. The anthro test wasn't as bad as I had anticpated, which was a relief. I managed to squeeze some time out of period 2 and 3 to study too, so that was nice. I need to remember to start studying earlier though, which is why I brought my biology binder home tonight, even though the quiz isn't until Thursday. Let's hope I'll actually spend some time to study the material tonight though, because I have a business essay proposal/outline to write too.
Man, I just realized that I forgot to tell my friends I won't be in one of my classes tomorrow because of a dance show. Thank goodness for MSN. Sucks having to miss period 4 again. I literally like miss a class of anthro every single week for like trips and stuff. It's horrible. I wonder what type of an impression I'm giving the teacher...ahaha.
I'm actually kind of hungry. I think I'll go make some instant noodles once I'm finished this post. Yum. Need to work on data stuff after my snack. I have tutor tonight, and I still have quite a few pages to do. Gah. At least I get one week off classes because of March Break. At least that gives time to have a bit of a breather. Yay.
I don't see a need to stay up late tonight, so hopefully that won't happen. I really need to sleep even earlier, because although I have been getting more sleep lately, it's like, on the brink of getting just enough. So some days I'll function okay and other days I won't. I want to keep my energy level consistently adequate if possible. Let's hope it is.
Haha, okay, snack time now. Write again tonight or tomorrow! (:

Man, I just realized that I forgot to tell my friends I won't be in one of my classes tomorrow because of a dance show. Thank goodness for MSN. Sucks having to miss period 4 again. I literally like miss a class of anthro every single week for like trips and stuff. It's horrible. I wonder what type of an impression I'm giving the teacher...ahaha.
I'm actually kind of hungry. I think I'll go make some instant noodles once I'm finished this post. Yum. Need to work on data stuff after my snack. I have tutor tonight, and I still have quite a few pages to do. Gah. At least I get one week off classes because of March Break. At least that gives time to have a bit of a breather. Yay.
I don't see a need to stay up late tonight, so hopefully that won't happen. I really need to sleep even earlier, because although I have been getting more sleep lately, it's like, on the brink of getting just enough. So some days I'll function okay and other days I won't. I want to keep my energy level consistently adequate if possible. Let's hope it is.
Haha, okay, snack time now. Write again tonight or tomorrow! (:

Feeling tired and apathetic right now as I type this. There's been so much going on today though that I felt a need to write now as opposed to tomorrow, even though it's late and I should be studying for anthro. Did I mention that I have a quest tomorrow? Gah. Gross.
I'll expand more tomorrow...and just jot down some key words today. Kind of feels like twitter LOL.
- money/finance problems
- family problems
- work overload
- worried, and maybe overconcerned
- shocked
And those are the keywords of today. The top two set of words on the list are the most important, and apply both to my direct family and my extended family. Argh. Life is...not fair to say the least. I know God never said it would be fair, but it's just like disaster after disaster, one chaotic event after another; it can get kind of hard to bare sometimes.
Lately my parents have also been talking about some things related to the keywords too. They talk when they think it's just me home (not when my bro is around), and when I'm in my room working or something, but truth is, I can hear every word that they're saying, and some of the stuff that they're not telling me directly worries me. I guess that's all I'll let out right now before I blow the whole situation out onto this blog.
I am so tired right now. I think I'm going to go sleep. Good night.

I forgot to post yesterday. Was too tired after all the big events. Biggest event was that there was a dress rehearsal at my dance studio for all of the competitive team students. It was so much fun, having our hair done full out with stage makeup and our costumes. Really exhausting, but such a fun experience (: It was also great to be able to watch some of the other dances. I'm really looking forward to competition season! It's like a month away!
Today I went to McDonalds for lunch after church. Pretty typical lunch and all, until I went to the washroom to wash my hands after touching all the grease and stuff. A girl came out of one of the stalls (I was waiting) and she tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around, and she held her hand up. Puzzled and confused, I high-fived her. (Then I went into the stall). I was thinking about the whole event, and it seemed like, I'm not sure, but she was different in some way. At first I thought she was a mute, but then I realized she could talk (heard her talking to herself while she was washing her hands). Her speech was choppy and only comprehend-able to a certain degree though, so I figured she had some kind of disability though. It was actually such a cool experience, because right after I high-fived her, I saw like the biggest smile on her face, as if that one little action made her day or something. Pretty cool if you ask me. Definitely keeping her and this event in prayer tonight (:
I worked very hard once I got home form church this afternoon, because I wanted to go to the Y in the evening. Of course, with perseverance, anything is possible, so I did manage to finish the work that's due tomorrow before going to the Y. It felt so good to be able to work out again, after not having gone to the gym for a week. It's like that refreshing feeling after you've done something really good. Nice feeling. I'll definitely be making the most out of my membership and going to the Y more often during March Break. Did I mention that there's only 4 more days (of school) until March Break? Eeeekss, I'm so excited!
I have my whole March Break planned out already, pretty much. University visits, friend gatherings, and TC. That should all be a blast (: I really hope and pray that God will be at the centre of all of it though, because it's so easy to leave God aside during breaks and long weekends.
I'm getting my new pointe shoes (the ballet shoes with the hard toe block that you balance on) sewn today. Yay. It's actually so amazing. Getting new pointe shoes really made my day. Reason behind the new shoes? My old shoes got soaked by a leaking water bottle in my dance bad. The shoe became really hard and like the shape changed, and even after it dried, the inside of the shoe felt damp. Basically, I couldn't dance in them anymore. So yeah, new shoes! I look forward to using them in class tomorrow! Hopefully we'll do pointe tomorrow (:
Oh look, today's post is already so long. I guess because really I was combining yesterday and today's post into one longer post. Anyway, back to homeworking now. Hopefully I'll have time to do my nails tonight before bed, and also have time to post tomorrow. Wish me luck. Toodles!

guess what? my newsfeed is filled with my cousin's posts again.
reasons why i love her :D
i wonder if she'll ever read this post. oh well.
i'm multitasking right now. math homework and blogging. maybe it's obvious that i like language more than math though, which is why i'm still typing this as i do my math. or maybe i just like to express my feelings in some way. art is better than blogging for me. but i'll stick with this for now.
today was a very long day. had to get to school at 8am to help out with OVF. besides a lunch break and singing with the chamber choir, i was volunteering all day, from 8-6. 10 hours. man. and did the same thing yesterday too, except that i sang with the concert choir and the ladies choir yesterday. 10-6 yesterday too. so 10 plus 8, making 18 hours. i'd better go claim those hours on monday.
OVF was a lot of fun though, and all of my school's choirs did really well this year. all 4 of our participating choirs got invited to nationals! how amazing is that? :O
i hope uch will let us go. she said she wanted to bring the choir to nationals this year if we get invited. i hope that's still true.
didn't go to felly tonight. a few reasons. one, i had some prep i need to do for tomorrow. tomorrow's gonna be a big day, so needed to get everything ready. you'l find out what tomorrow's all about the next time i blog. second, the program seemed to battle against me this week. i've never had this kind of a feeling before, one where i don't really agree with what the program is trying to say or give to the night. it was just kind of conflicting with my beliefs i guess, and i felt that me going to felly wouldn't have contributed to a positive cell group experience because i would have either said nothing or talked a lot about why the gospel isn't just what the program is trying to teach and such. i don't know. it's never happened before. but i guess with a topic as big and broad as evangelism, there are many ways to go about doing it.
the friend i wrote about a week ago is doing a lot better now. mom's still stubborn and hypocritical, but her dad is very supportive and faithful. and even though the dad's mother (aka friend's grandmother) just died last week too, dad is keeping a positive outlook and realizing God's purpose behind all this. so thankful for him. my friend's away from her family this weekend because she's at an overnight conference. she's doing well there so far. hope the weekend's great for her. praying for her :D
i persuaded another friend of mine into texting me today. she kept saying that she didn't see a point in texting me because she knew i wouldn't reply her because of lent. i told her to text me anyway. i was like: TEXT ME CUZ YOU LOVE ME AND YOU KNOW IT ;) that did the trick. so yay. and her text was sooo heartwarming too. it like actually made my heart melt. d'awww. i love sweet texts like that :P sent her a message saying so. hope she reads it tomorrow or something. so cuteeee.
alrighty...today's post is getting really long. i guess i'd better stop now. that's all for tonight, blog again soon!

Oops I forgot to post on leap year day, aka yesterday. Oh well too late. But happy leap year everyone :D
I can't believe it's March already. It's crazy. And in less than two weeks, it'll already be March Break. That means TC and loads of university visits. Yay.
I'm really not in the mood to write today. My eyes are like closing by the second. It's horrible. Really really need to sleep earlier tonight.
Volunteering for OVF again tomorrow. Shall be loads of fun (: And the chamber choir will be singing too. I've got to admit that we don't know our pieces as well as we should. I hope we come together and do okay tomorrow, because Concert Choir did pretty well today :D
Today's post is pretty pathetic. Super tired and nothing to write about. Oh well. Better luck tomorrow!
