Pulling An All Nighter

Happy New Years!


It's only about an hour before 2012 is here and I'm immensely excited not only because a new year is coming, but I'm doing something much more than just waiting until the clock hits 12:00 and then when we start celebrating and blowing sound makers (not that I do...). Keep on reading to find out. =D

I'm Going All Night


Anyways, this year I'm aiming to make the first night of 2012 a weird and cool one by staying up all night and not sleeping for about a total of 48 hours. But I'm not doing this alone (it would be kind of stupid and scary) as my friends Phillip, Angelo and some other dudes will be accompanying me on this epic journey.

But how will I have proof that I've stayed up all night? Well, for one thing, you can ask my friends, who will ALL be in one huge Skype conversation OR you can also check out my newest page called The 2012 All Nighter. It will be a minute by minute recorded journal of what I did in the 9 hours that I was awake in the night. Can't wait.

Swimming And Grocery Shopping


Today I had an AWESOME day with Alec, Lina and my brother as USUAL. First of all we went swimming and we had loads of fun there because Alec kept on tossing Raymond's watch down in the deep end of the pool and then we had to go get his watch and by doing so also learning how to dive.

AFTER that we headed out to the grocery store to go buy stuff to make PIZZA. And PUMPKIN PIE. And BANANA CAKE. You can see why I had so much fun now. Anyways, I was at the store in the dairy section looking for some unsalted butter (oh, FANCY =P) and then I saw the coolest thing.

I WANT one of those things. There was just this little kid and his mom and they were walking and THERE IT WAS. The shopper in training shopping cart (seriously, there was a pole with a flag on top that read "Shopper in training"). And it ACTUALLY could CARRY stuff. It was the coolest thing ever and I really wish I had one of those things when I was a kid.

Of course, I'm still a kid.

Now For The Pizza, Pumpkin Pie And Banana Cake

So we went home with all the stuff and we immediately started working on the baking. First we started working on the Banana Cake (well, we actually did all recipes sort of at the same time) and then we made the pizza and we ended up making the pumpkin pie last.

It took a fudge load of time to cook all that fudge.

Anyways, last time we made pumpkin pie, it was just HORRIBLE. Literally NOBODY could eat it. We had replaced the cream fraiche (WHERE THE FUDGE DO YOU FIND IT?!) with some sour cream and it was just bad. 

So THIS time we STILL couldn't find any cream fraiche and we just replaced it with whipping cream!

It was A LOT better than the sour cream replacement.

I regret not taking any pictures of the food.

Well, See You Guys Later


It's getting a BIT late now (although that is not really useful info), so I'm going to head in for... Well, not bed. Today I'm a definite 10 because I made loads of delicious stuff. That's it. No. I would be a 10 anyways. =D

Today. Was. AWESOME.

First Of All...


Yesterday I wrote up a lot of stuff to put in a post, but I found out that I already had a post on that day, so I didn't necessarily need one. So here's what I had to say yesterday.

Sleep Over


Two days ago I had a really awesome sleep over at my grandma's house and I'm looking forward to another one. Essentially what we did was have five people sleep in two beds and I don't know if Lina and Alec had trouble sleeping in the other bed, but Michael, Raymond and I were incredibly squished, hot and many more uncomfortable adjectives could be used, but I'll just stop there. Anyways, I woke up in the morning in an extremely awkward position and I probably was upside down one point in the night.

Before we had gone to sleep though, we had played a rousing game of Hearts (which is kind of becoming our usual card game) and there was a lot of funniness when we all started to go to bed.

The Last Two Weeks Have Been Brilliant


My whole winter break was just awesome thanks to my cousins, my brothers and friends I've come to know over the break. The time I've spent with them have been really cool to me and I'm really sad that the break is almost over and that Alec has to leave for the States once again on January 16, 2012. That's why I've amassed together all the great times that we've had just in the two weeks and not the three years that I've known Alec or the lifetime that I've known my cousins and family.

Here's what we did for the whole break. We
- shot people with lazer guns
- baked a fudge load of cookies
- slept over in the same room
- went swimming
- went shopping
- played Hearts
- played Settlers Of Catan
- played some sort of foreign card game
- played Small World
- played Pig (or Donkey)
- helped out each other
- had FUN

Enough Of Yesterday, Time For Today


So today I had loads of fun too (as you can probably infer from the title). In the morning, I found out that I was going swimming again and this time I kind of actually looked forward to it. The last time I had gone swimming, Alec had tried to teach me how to dive and I have to say that I really like "diving". Anyways, after we finished swimming, we just hung out at my cousin's place (by cousin's place I mean the upstairs of my grandma's place) for a bit before Alec, Lina and Michael headed out to get Lina's graduation picture taken. So we (my brother and I) ended up watching Supah Ninjas (weird show) until around 5:00PM when they came back. With friends.

Now I have always been damn nervous around new people, but they weren't exactly new people. I knew Martin and Katie, but Katie's boyfriend I didn't know and I met him today. They were all really cool people and I had loads of fun playing new games with them (we just played Settlers (short for Settlers Of Catan), Hearts, a new game called Pig (or Donkey) and Small World).

I just love spending time at my cousin's place.

Well, I Don't Have Much Else To Give You Now


Today I had loads of fun and as usual, I'm a 10. Life is great now and it's really saddening that life will resume it's regular course when school comes back and Alec leaves.

Oh well. As my friend who I talk to a lot says, "You've just got to live the moment."

Just A Little Note


I'm just saying that I'm not continuing labels in the blog since it will be easier for people to search up posts instead of looking in labels and it's very hard to sort out which posts go into which label since I've already gone so far into this blog.

Well, Relatives Will Be Reading This... So... Go Ahead...

Note To All Peeps


So it's about 1:00AM in the morning and I'm posting this. I had a pretty busy day doing fun things, so I was unable to get a post up before 12:00 midnight. Oh well. I'll just add onto this post later in the day if I really have anything important to say.


Welcome To My Blog Peeps Who Are My Relatives

My blog is now being spread throughout my family (although it was originally my idea to keep this as a secret from my family =P) and I find that I will at least have to be much careful of what I do these days (more of what I say these days). Anyways, I just wanted to give a warm welcome to the new comers of the blog and hopefully you will enjoy my life in my view.

Pew Pew Pew

As in pew, I don't mean the definition of pew as in "a long bench with a back, placed in rows in the main part of some churches to seat the congregation" but pew as in the sound of a lazer gun being shot in an awesome game of lazer tag. Yes, today I was playing lazer tag with the usual peeps (Alec, Lina and Raymond) at Planet Lazer and it was an EPIC game. We had loads of fun playing and it was our first time in a while for all of us. At the end of the game I grabbed second and that was a lot better than my first attempt at playing lazer tag (I got like last the first time).

What Else Happened Today?


Although today was not the absolute best day of my life, it was one that I will be sure to remember. First of all, I went lazer tagging and second of all, I went with the gang to go pick up Michael (my cousin) from his eight day long vacation at Disneyland in LA and it was a pretty cool adventure (the trip was cool, but waiting at the airport was kind of boring).

It was fun though and that's what counts. Welcome home Mikey.

I've Been Procrastinating On Updating The Blog


I know I promised some updates on the blog, but I just haven't been able to set aside much time from my "busy" schedule to work on this blog. Eventually though I will be able to update the blog and reorganize the blog label wise.

See You Next Post


Thanks for reading today's post, I hope that you'll subscribe to my blog (just helps me make sure that SOMEBODY out there is reading this) and I'll either have more up in this post (if anything else happens) or I'll just see the rest of you peeps in the next entry.

I'm a 10 today because it was a GREAT day and I'm always usually a 10. I'm essentially multitasking right now and I'm playing Hearts (really epic card game) and also working on my blog.

A Pet Fish And Swimming

Welcome Home Tony


For our Christmas present (my brother and I) we got a cool betta named Tony (don't ask me where the name came from) from Lina and Alec. It's awesome and we finally get another pet.

I never knew this, but fish (well, at least betta) have a strict feeding schedule. If you feed too much, it will over grow and die and if you feed too less, it will just starve. So we've come up with the schedule of feeding it 4 pellets in the morning and 3 in the evening.

Say hello to your new home Tony. =D

I've Been Swimming A Lot Lately...


I guess it's just because I didn't really know how to swim that I didn't want to go swim, but now that I do and I can probably last a while out in the ocean if I ever need to, I just go for fun.

Today I did go swimming again with Lina, Alec and Raymond and I have to admit it was at least interesting. For most of the time we went swimming, we just played and tossed a ball around. At the end, it got quite fun and Alec tried to teach us how to dive (still getting to learn how to).

Canucks Down The Oilers 5 - 3


Yesterday in a boxing day NHL game, the Canucks dominated the Oilers in a 5 - 3 final in Edmonton (also coincidentally where the IIHF Junior Canada VS Finland game was also held). The game was pretty cool (didn't actually watch it) and I just wanted to say the final score (For the Canada VS Finland game, Canada won like 8 - 1). Oh well. Go Canucks.

That's It For Today


There's nothing else to post about, so I'll just go and play a new game I've discovered (it's called SAS Zombie Assault 3). Thanks for reading this post (I won't be posting a horoscope today though), subscribe to my blog for more and I'll see you in the next post (where I'll be blogging about lazer tag). Oh yah. Here's my number of the day.

Today I'm an absolute 10 because today was a nice day. I went swimming, got a new pal, had some pizza and played Settlers Of Catan with my usual peeps. I'm also getting my new laptop shipped to me (should be hear in a few days) and that puts me in a good spot already.

Life Just Possibly Can't Get More Advanced

Life As We Know It... Is Already... Advanced


Have you ever thought about the things that you use daily? The toaster, your computer, the TV. When you think about these things, you think there is no way that life can get any more advanced than it already is. Or can it? Life before was way less advanced than today's life. Did the people in the past think that life would be any more advanced? And do we think it can get more advanced. It's hard to imagine a future exactly like this and yet it's hard to imagine a future where everything is made out of some sort of shiny sleek metal, as most shows, movies and basically anything portray. Oh well.

Getting A New Laptop


Today I'm going to go buy a laptop with my dad as a belated birthday present (WAY too belated). After some consideration (it's my first time buying a computer), I decided to go with an awesome brand (my cousin has one of these), Lenovo. They have really good computers, look nice, have the most epic keyboard and track pad and in my cousin's model, even has finger print identity and face recognition (both which you can use (along with the password) to login to your computer).

Here's a little video for all you peeps who are wondering what the fudge "face recognition" means.

Don't Really Have Anything Else To Talk About...

I usually don't edit my posts or add anything later in the day, but who knows? Something fun may happen later. It's only like 3:00PM.

I think it's a bit too early to judge my day from here and pick my number, but for now I'm a 10 because of the new laptop and that's essentially it. My brother is off at his friend's birthday party, so I'm basically going to be hanging out with Lina and Alec. Thanks for reading this post, subscribe (it's just to the left peeps) and maybe I'll add to this later, but maybe not.

And here's another horoscope, just for fun.

"Here's a day when some long-awaited attention or recognition comes your way. You're finished with the hassles you experienced during the past month and have entered a calmer period. Those who could recently only criticize can't find enough words to praise you. Take the compliments at face value. There's nothing wrong with being happy with yourself." - Horoscope.com

OF COURSE long-awaited attention or recognition will come your way. It always does. Everybody has hassles and in one point of the day, you ALWAYS feel completely calm. For the part that said "Those who could recently only criticize can't find enough words to praise you." maybe the person that decided to criticize was in a bad mood and now they were in a better mood. I ALWAYS take my compliments at face value (to be honest, I don't really know what that exactly means...) and of course, every horoscope ends with something that is morally right. Yesterday it was "Follow your heart." and today it's "There's nothing wrong with being happy with yourself." The last sentence is always ridiculous. It's just something you should always do. Well, that's it for today's horoscope rage.

Bessie Braddock: "Sir you are drunk."

Winston Churchill: "Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober."

NOTE. I've scanned through various versions of this quote and this one seems to be the best. However, I do like to add my own variations to quotes, but this variation is simply just an add on to explain the quote or further enhance it. I'm also not sure if the madam who was in this quote was Bessie Braddock.

Bessie Braddock: "Sir you are drunk."

Winston Churchill: "Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober, but you will still be ugly."

Merry Christmas Everybody!

First Of All: CHRISTMAS!


Today is Christmas and I would like to start off this post by saying a very Merry Christmas to everybody out there. I'm currently at my own party and it isn't much of a party, but just like a family gathering where we all gather up, maybe talk for a bit and then have dinner. It's Christmas today and if you drink (which you probably don't =P), then be happy, because it's only a few more days until 2012 and then you can drink all you want AGAIN. =P

Decided To Check Out My Horoscope


I'm not a huge spiritual person, but I kind of do believe in ghosts. I'm not like super spiritual and superstitious that I'm unable to walk under ladders or knock over some pepper, but I'm not also completely "if I don't see it, it's fake". I'm leaning towards the "if I don't see it, it's fake" side, but I do believe in spirits and I think that there is a Heaven and Hell. Once again though, I'm not religious and I kind of have my "own" religion.

Back to the main point. I decided to check out my horoscope because I have loads of fun finding mistakes in the horoscope. They aren't really mistakes though, but more of the words that make it possible for anyone to have the horoscope. Listen to Scorpio's horoscope today.

"Someone you've known for a long time may disappear from your life. This could leave you feeling disoriented and unfocused. Your ideas of truth, honor, ethics, and morality might require some revision in light of recent events. A change of profession might be looming on the horizon. On the positive side, you're in the process of transcending your limitations. Follow your heart. " - Horoscope.com

First of all, there are loads of words that make it possible for you not to have anything to do with this horoscope. "Someone you've known for a long time may disappear from your life." MAY. MAY disappear from your life. The horoscope is just saying common things. A friend may move away or your grandparent might pass away. Anything like that. And if you don't lose somebody in your life, the MAY covers it up.

The words MAY and MIGHT appear so often in this certain horoscope (and this is true for most horoscopes) that there's a MUCH PROBABLE chance that only a FEW things, ONE of the things or even NONE of the things that the horoscope say DO NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Here's the horoscope AGAIN, but this time I've made all the MAY, MIGHT or anything like that bold.

"Someone you've known for a long time may disappear from your life. This could leave you feeling disoriented and unfocused. Your ideas of truth, honor, ethics, and morality might require some revision in light of recent events. A change of profession might be looming on the horizon. On the positive side, you're in the process of transcending your limitations. Follow your heart. " - Horoscope.com

Last of all, "Follow your heart"? REALLY? EVERYBODY HAS TO FOLLOW THEIR HEART. Just to prove to you guys (if you still don't believe) that horoscopes are fake, here's another horoscope from another site.

"There may be a contest of wills today, even more so than the time of the year would suggest. There's no need to back down unless you see your people start to exchange awkward glances." - Vancouver Sun Horoscopes

NOTHING to do with Horoscope.com's horoscope. Wow...

Too Less, Just Right, Too Much And Plenty Too Much


Some of my posts have too less content, while some have just the right amount of content and writing. On the other hand, some posts have too much writing and will bore you. This post has plenty too much and that is seriously boring. I don't think many of you guys even read the whole post.

Anyways, I'm a 10 today. There was a party. It's Christmas. I got to play on the computer. I watched Shrek. Awesome.

Thanks for reading, I hope you've enjoyed my rage against horoscopes and visit my blog again!

SO MUCH STRESS...

God. It's Winter Break And I Can't Even Relax...

See. Even in the break I can't relax because my family keeps on pressing on me to get my hair cut. I don't know. I PERSONALLY don't really want to get my hair cut because... Well, my family hasn't really done a good job of cutting my hair (by family, I mean my aunt and dad because they cut my hair). This is what I sometimes hate about living in an Asian family. I mean, in most Asian families, you would find at least one person who is capable of cutting hair and SOMEHOW BY MAGIC, that person is like the appointed barber.

NO. Just NO. I haven't had much trust in my "barbers". Whenever I ask for not too much off the top or front, or a little more on the back, whatever, they just don't follow. It's like ALL "barbers" came together and said, "Okay, we will cut their hair like THIS and IGNORE everything else THEY say." Doesn't seem really realistic, but it really seems like it. Apparently there's supposed to be just ONE hair style for every hair cut? Doesn't seem like it with the extensive collection of hair styles we have today.

Anyways, my family is pressuring me to get my hair cut and I was SUPPOSED to get it cut today, but at the last moment, when my dad asked, "Am I going to cut your hair or not?" I said no. So no is no. There MIGHT be a hair cut today and then maybe there won't be one for a while. In hair cutting terms, I have more trust in my dad. He's cut my hair just about as many times as my aunt has cut my hair (well, at least the times I can remember) and with every hair cut, I've been... OKAY with it.

Then again. Hair is hair. It grows just like nails grow and hair and nails are both made out of the same thing. It grows back. For me though, it's just a matter of if people judge me on my hair and laugh and whisper behind my back. I don't really care if they keep their own "Kevin looks so stupid with that hair cut." to themselves, but it really pisses me off when people whisper and laugh behind my back. I don't care if they're whispering about good things, but if they are talking about good things, they should just tell me.

Time For The Other Stuff...

Okay. That was pretty boring. Anyways. Basically that was really just one thing compiled into about four paragraphs, so I don't really want to waste anymore of your time. I'll just quickly talk about the next topics and if you don't want to read some of the next stuff, it's okay. Just go ahead and scan through the paragraphs or even just look and judge by the title of the paragraph(s).

So The Canucks Lost Like 3 - 1...

Yesterday I was baking so I didn't listen to the Canucks on the radio, but today I checked the score and we lost 3 - 1 against Calgary. Pretty saddening. Oh well. Their next game will be against the Oilers on Monday because...

They Can't Play On CHRISTMAS!

The reason why the Canucks aren't playing tomorrow is because tomorrow is CHRISTMAS! So, the tree in my house is finally set up (my first time actually like getting a tree), my family is preparing for the party that we're hosting for our family tomorrow and overall, there is some sort of joy in the air knowing that everybody is going to get a present.

I haven't really celebrated Christmas with my family, but then again, I don't really think most Asian families seriously celebrate Christmas. And by seriously celebrate Christmas, I mean SERIOUSLY. Not many Asian families go completely out of their way to celebrate Christmas and for me, it's just usually a delicious family dinner.

Anyways, Christmas is the only day my dad takes off from work and I really appreciate that he works this hard. I don't think he takes any day off in the year from work except for Christmas. The point I'm trying to make is that I don't really spend a lot of time with my parents and I've probably been with my grandma and cousins longer than I've been with my parents. I mean I spend an average of an hour and a half of my day with my parents and I spend like the complete rest with my grandma, aunt or cousins. So it's really kind of special to me to actually get to see my dad around 5:00PM.

My Automatic Updates Need Me To Restart, So Bye...

Today will be a kind of boring day since my cousins are not going to be home, but oh well. Anyways, somehow I feel better writing this post and maybe I will get a hair cut (not too much of one that my friends can barely recognize me anymore, but maybe just a little bit of a hair cut).

It's not the full day yet, but I'm around a 9 today. I'm feeling confident that even if people tease me about my hair cut, I can stand up to them and the hair will grow back. =) I'm not completely sure what I'm going to do for the rest of the day, but I might install a cool game on my computer that I got a while ago, but then left on my bookshelf for several months. Anyways, thanks for reading this post, happy Christmas Eve and I'll see you in tomorrow's Christmas post!

Sorry I Didn't Get A Post Up Yesterday...

I Don't Really Remember Yesterday At All In Fact...


I'm not really sure what happened yesterday, but I think that I went to Science World to go pick up my cousin, so we (Alec, Raymond and I) decided to go a bit earlier and hang out and check out Science World (they had free admission or some sort of promotion going on...). Anyways, we had loads of fun and made a dam at the water thingy.

Today I Didn't Do Much Actually...


Basically what I did was hang out upstairs with Alec, go to the supermarket and get some supplies for tomorrow (you'll find out in tomorrow's post what we're going to do =D) and play Hearts (a really cool card game I just learnt today). Overall, not a bad day, but nothing really cool happened.

Well, It's Like 12:30... AM


I thought it was like 11:30PM, but it's ACTUALLY 12:30AM. So Blogger counts this post as a post on December 23, 2011, but if you like this blog, you can accept this as a December 22, 2011 post (I'll add more along it later today).

I'm about a 9 today. Nothing bad. Nothing good.

Well, I have to get to sleep now. It was a okay day and I thoroughly enjoyed playing Hearts.

"Both young children and old people have a lot of time on their hands. That's probably why they get along so well." - Jonathan Carroll

OKAY. Now It's Time For The Next Part Of... Today


Anyways, yesterday (it was actually just really late at night) I was posting up some posts and I went into today (confusing... XD)... Never mind. Let's just say that this is the second part of a post. Everything before this sub title is considered to be all from yesterday. Time to get on with the post.

Today Was Essentially A BAKING FRENZY!


Today the usual gang (Alec, Lina, Raymond and I) made like several plateful of cookies, pumpkin pie and brownies (so awesome =P). So first of all we made ginger cookies (basically the same thing as ginger bread cookies, but just in circles) and then we made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies AND THEN we made more ginger cookies and then we made pumpkin pie and then Martin came over (Lina's friend) and then WE ALL MADE YUMMY BROWNIES. They were all awesome and delicious and it's a pity that they will be gone tomorrow because Lina and Alec are going to Alec's aunt's place tomorrow for some sort of family get together.

Don't Want To Run Into Tomorrow Again...


I post pretty late and I seriously don't want to write into tomorrow again (cool expression =P), so I'll just tell you what's up for tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm going to go swimming, cut my hair (get ready for a new Kevin) and then clean up the house (more like clean up my room). If I still have any time at my Burnaby house, I can try and fix my computer to connect to my new router (it's saying, "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you into Network Name"). Oh well.

It was an EPIC day today and I definitely know there will be more of these days to come into my life. As for the haircut thing, I really don't like cutting my hair, but my parents keep on yelling at me, so I'll get it over with.

ONE quick thing. I used to be SCARED of what people would THINK of me after I cut my hair. THAT'S why I didn't want to cut my hair. But now I REALIZE that it DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE. I can stand up for MYSELF and that's what I AM GOING TO DO. And yes, it does hurt me if you're whispering behind my back. I have super hearing. =)

Anyways, it's getting late, so I'll just quickly get the quote of the day in. Thanks for reading, I hope that I'll see you tomorrow and if you want to support this blog, subscribe.

Just Really Pissed At Just About EVERYBODY In The Family

Is This True For Like ALL The Other Asian Kids?

My family essentially pisses me off, lowers me down a level and makes me feel HORRIBLE everyday. I know that in the last post or something like that I said that different parents have different ways of saying, "I love you." but it's times like this that make me feel like it's getting more false and false day by day. My family treats me like some stubborn stuck up kid. Anyways, when I went over to my grandma's house, I was playing on my iPad and then my aunt just takes it away and then RAYMOND, my brother, just helps her. So I'm even pissed off at Raymond. I'm PISSED at everybody. So she took it away to who knows where AND that's when I seriously CRACK. I'm just thinking, "Oh, so if she makes me pissed, I will DEFINITELY make HER pissed." So how do I make her pissed?

I just take out my laptop. Imagine this. You're an angry guardian and you've just taken your nephew's iPad away, so he can't play and you feel superior. WELL NO. He brings out a laptop and then you start raging.

Yah. That's what I did. I basically just made her more pissed and FORTUNATELY for ME, she just threatened to smash my laptop (which I really wouldn't mind...).

Anyways, my WHOLE family just makes me PISSED off. Except for my cousin, Lina. Sometimes though, I do  feel as if Lina is worried about me somehow and I do really think that my family (well, excluding Lina) don't understand me.

Basically the problem today was that I WASN'T doing my homework (my home homework). WOAH. Kevin, not doing his homework?! How does he get in all his work in school on time then?

Well, there's one secret to my master plan. I DO MY HOMEWORK. I mean, WHO SERIOUSLY DOES THEIR HOMEWORK AT 11:30AM WHEN YOU'VE ONLY GOT 5 PAGES OF MATH?! I seriously prefer doing my homework after dinner because it's when I'm full, happy and content (unless of course my family is pissing me off).

And I don't mean to offend or be racist AT ALL, but I seriously think that only Asian, Indian (essentially all the immigrants of Canada) or some other race parents are like this. Well, with the occasional Caucasian kid, but he's probably like HALF Asian or something like that...

Canucks VS Red Wings Today, So A Little Yay

Today the home boys will be battling off against the Red Wings today and hopefully we'll win (Detroit holds the season series at one game). I definitely won't be able to watch today's game, but I'll try and listen to it on the radio (just like the old days  =P). I still play the fantasy hockey thing, but ever since it's switched to a completely new site, I haven't liked it much. It doesn't tell you all the games you've played and the points you've earned for every game and essentially the new fantasy hockey site is missing every aspect of the stats except for the leader boards. Maybe they just need more time to work on the site. Oh well.

There's A Whole Fudge Of Negativity In This House...

I know I was leaning towards this topic just a minute or so ago, but I would like to state that there is a FUDGE LOAD of NEGATIVITY in this HOUSE... Seriously. Okay. So my mom and dad always want me to make my bed whenever I wake up and I'm basically thinking inside my mind, "Okay, I want to make my parents happy so they won't piss me off, so I guess I will try and make my bed tomorrow morning." and then my parents are like, "He'll never learn, he's too stubborn." and stuff like that which just makes me not want to make my bed the next morning.

I guess my parents just have to understand that I WANT to change my habits, but they're making it HARDER and IMPOSSIBLE for me.

Nothing Else To Talk About Now...

I really appreciate the people that support me (friends and teachers) and like me for who I am. Teachers find it fascinating that I know codes like HTML and support me on this whereas my parents think it's useless for me to know a "stupid" code. Friends like me for who I am and they help me balance my life. I also appreciate people that read my blog because I know that there is at least one person who I can confide to about all my life troubles and not just see my outer self at school.

I also LOVE this blog because I can spill out everything in this little page of coding. Just a few minutes ago, I was feeling incredibly pissed and mad and when I started blogging about my problems, I felt better.

Anyways, I know it's not the end of the day, but as of 11:42AM of December 21, 2011, I am a 8. I'm still pissed for just having my iPad taken away, but writing about it has definitely improved my mood (I would probably be around a 5 if it weren't for this).

So. I guess that's the end of this post. I don't have anymore secrets or anymore family problems or in fact, ANYTHING interesting or WORTHWHILE to talk about, so I'm just going to go and read some news or something like that. If you read this post, I seriously thank you and I hope that you'll be able to spread out my life a little more. Subscribe to support me and I'll see you tomorrow.

Just Missing School I Guess...

I'm Getting Really Bored These Days...


Most of the day I just lounge around on the floor or in a chair sitting with the iPad and just playing TapTap Revenge and frankly it's not fun anymore. School is gone and I seriously miss all my friends.

School is a HUGE part of my life and it's practically ESSENTIAL to me. There's like NOBODY to feel awkward around and to be like SUPER POLITE to. Most of the only time I spend with friends is when I talk to them on Skype or Windows Live Messenger (I don't use Facebook) and that doesn't really replace tapping them on the shoulder and annoying them every once and a while.

Oh well. Only like... Errr... How many days left before we go back to school? Jeez. Guess I forgot. There is one weird thing though that I have been noticing. When I WANT time to pass by quickly, it takes its time and just walks all the way to the finish, but when I want to FREEZE time and just stay in that frame of life forever, it passes as quick as it can. Weird.

Forgot To Mention Something Yesterday


Anyways, yesterday I was in a hurry to get to bed and I forgot to write about one more thing in yesterday's post.

Lately, I've been going swimming weekly and I even went swimming this Monday. After swimming for a while, I went to the hot tub to warm up and then eventually get out of the pool. While in the hot tub though, there was this little baby and his father and the baby kept on splashing his feet on the water and it was so funny and cool.

So I'm just smiling at the father and his baby and then the father says, "It's his first time here." and I nod, "That's great!" After a moment of silence, I say, "Is it yours too?" I still have to admit that was quite a weird question, but nevertheless, I asked it. The dad answered, "No." So we end up having quite a bit of a chat and I find out that the baby is 18 months old (never did find out his name) and that the dad was just taking him out for the first time in a long time.

There were also loads of other kids at the pool and I had loads of little chats with them that usually involved having something to do with Christmas.

Who knows? Maybe one day one of those kids will be the Prime Minister of Canada one day.

That's Really What I Can Really Think Of This Moment...


I don't have anything to add to this post and you probably won't see much more added to it anyways since it's like 11:20. Good for me. I can get some sleep.

I'm a 8 and a half today since my dad gave me homework. SERIOUSLY? It's the winter break and my dad is giving me homework while all my friends are on family getaways to Las Vegas or some place. Wow dad. It's okay though. It's just his way of saying, "I love you." Loads of people have different ways of showing their care and affection and maybe you've just got to learn how they show it.

Canucks Are Leading 3 - 0, Today I Got To Play With My Friends And... Well, More

Canucks Are 3 - 0 Heading Into The Third Period With Minnesota


Ever since their 5 - 1 lose against the Wild, I've just been waiting for the Canucks to whoop some Minnesota butt. And it looks like they're doing it right now.

The Canucks are up 3 - 0 first thanks to some great goal tending by Luongo and a goal apiece by Henrik Sedin, Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows. So I have to say that we're doing pretty well.

Well, the Canucks are still like 10th in the league overall, but at least we've got a play off spot and we're not really struggling, so we're good.

For now.

The Canucks will be 1st in the league and maybe it won't be until the middle of the season or even the end of the season, but I know they will.

As for the Stanley Cup, I'm pretty sure that the players want it as much as we, the fans want it.

Today Was An EPIC Day


I had loads of fun today because well, first of all, I got to go swimming (I really don't mind it as much now that I've found things to do there) and my grandma stayed over at my other house AND that equals an EPIC day with my other laptop.

So I have another laptop which I'm not allowed to bring over to my grandma's house, but it's the laptop that can run Minecraft 1.0.0 in the house.

And when I say "the laptop that can run Minecraft 1.0.0 in the house." I mean that it's the ONLY LAPTOP that can run Minecraft 1.0.0 in the house.

Anyways, today I did finally manage to convince the whole group to play together and we all ended up having good laughs as we always did and having fun.

Labelling Is Still Messed Up


My first priority right now is to fix the labels. Then after that I can work on upgrading the blog.

I haven't really thought about this, but once I reach the 150th post or somewhere around that, I won't be able to convert my blog into a HTML blog. Oh well. I would be way to lazy to do it now anyways and this is only the 78th post or something like that.

Gotta Get Started On Working On The Blog


For the rest of the day I will be working on the blog, adding more content to the pages and so and so. Hopefully the new changes won't be too bright and flashy (or as my brother would say, attentiony) and you guys will enjoy them a lot.

I'm way up there and I'm like a 10 today. As I am most days. It was a brilliant day today, the Canucks are sure to win and I got to play with my friends.

Thanks for reading this post, I hope that you will subscribe as it makes it easier for me to track visits and if you liked this post, then I think you'll like tomorrow's. And the next day's. And the next day's. You get the point.

Addicted To My iPad!

I've Been Using The iPad... Daily... =P

Ever since I got my iPad, I've been like ADDICTED. It's SO AWESOME. I just can't stop using it. If only Microsoft and Apple got together to make a... MAPPLE. Or maybe it should be called a Acrosoft... I dunno. But seriously. If the two companies got together and made one operating system, then it would be EPIC.

Anyways, I have been using the iPad a lot and MAYBE, just maybe I should take a break from it.

Or not. =P

Life Has Been... ALRIGHT...


Life is BORING nowadays. No school means no friends and no friends mean no socializing and no socializing means NO FUN. Jeez. I'm just really bored these days and I want to see more friends. Pressure (from applications to go to high school and homework) are all gone, so that's one relief and I will be able to get more sleep.

AND for people who just have to be gossip fiends, I am still with somebody (and I'm really glad I am). BUT if you're not a gossip fiend and you're one of my family members, you heard nothing. =P

DarkCraft Turns Into =PCraft And =PCraft DIES...


So for people who have been following the latest news on DarkCraft, you'll know that we've changed our name to =PCraft because DarkCraft was already taken. So what happens after we change the name. Well... nothing. Seriously. The ENTIRE group has not played together and nobody has even played with another person ever since the name change.

Oh yah. We changed our name again because the name is too hard to say. I mean who seriously says, "EqualsPCraft is so cool!"? So we've changed our name into VanCityCraft to represent Vancouver.

Labels Will Be Down For A While...


I'm going to completely renovate the blog after Christmas, but for now I will work on the SEO (search engine optimization), advertising so more people can see my life (like anybody really wants to...) and I will overall work on the stuff that actually makes the blog run (content, labels, all that stuff).

So prepare for a complete new theme, new styles and new... Well, everything when 2012 comes.

Get ready.

Oh yah. The labels will probably be back up by the end of the week (although I cannot guarantee). They may be back up sooner, but if that is so, then they will be updated bit by bit.

Later Peeps


Well, it's getting late and I need to start taking care of my physical health. I'm totally glad you've dropped by to read this post, I hope that you will find the new updates that are coming useful and cool and hopefully I won't miss the next post.

Note that this is the 77th post and it's only 23 more posts until the 100th post. Isn't that exciting?!

Whoops. Almost forgot. I'm about a 9 today. Nothing too exciting and nothing too boring to kill me out of my mind.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops For Like... I Dunno

Today I Totally Got Drunk With... Beer And Black Ops


Okay. I didn't actually drink REAL beer. But yah. Root beer. Beer. Same thing. Anyways, today was Angelo's birthday (he's now officially 12) and I went to his birthday party.

Which turned out to be PRETTY epic.

First of all when we got there (it was just Angelo, Abriel, Michael, Jonathan, Vincent and I there at first), we started bringing out all the food (chips, pop, root beer) and... I dunno. We just chilled around. After that, a few more people came (Kito, Geoffry, Peter and more people) and we basically played on the PS3 that Kito brought over for the WHOLE day. We just took turns.

Anyways, the party was fun and cool. EPICALLY fun. Even though next year I probably won't see Angelo (or any of my friends for that matter) daily anymore, I hope I'll still get to go to his 13th party.

So What Did I Do For The DAY Part Of My... Errr... Day?


Well, today I went skating (and I think I got better) and I had a lot of fun too. We also bought Angelo (for his birthday) a new XBOX controller after we ate our lunch at the Pacific Center. Anyways, today was a really fun day (I already said that =P) and I hope that more of these days will come.

Tomorrow There's A PARTY


Tomorrow in the morning I have basketball practice (which I seriously look forward to) and after Friday it's going to be winter break (YAH!). Tomorrow my class is having a party in the evenning, but we're just watching a movie called Elf and eating... Junk food. So tomorrow will be a fun day. Hopefully Mr. Rowland will keep up his streak and let us have another period of free lab (he's done so for the past two days).

I'm DEFINITELY a 10 TODAY. Fun day. Epic. But I'm quite tired. Doesn't mean I can't be a ten. Anyways, I'm going to go and sleep now because I need to catch up on my sleep.

Thanks for reading, subscribe to my blog, eat some potatoes and I'll see you guys in the next post... TOMORROW. Bye!

My Mom Can Be Really Pissing...

WOW. Just WOW.


Jesus. Everytime it's like my mom is TRYING to find a fault in my ways and choices. She is being SUCH A PISSING PERSON.

OKAY. Listen up.

So my mom wants me to stop playing like everyday (I used to play like from 4:00PM to 10:00PM) and after a while, I decide that I need to stop playing.

YAY? NO, NO YAY.

I still have to leave time for my blog. So every night when I come back from my grandma's house, I start up the computer and I start working on my next blog post.

And what does my mom say? STOP PLAYING.

Yah. Jesus.

I mean LOOK AT THE FACTS. I'm NOT playing. I'm WRITING A FUDGING JOURNAL. Second of all, I'm not even staying on THAT LONG. It's only like 30 MINUTES ON THIS THING.

Anyways, she keeps on yelling and yelling and yelling and yelling at my brother and I for just using the computer for 30 minutes. WOW.

I'm just REALLY pissed off right now. SERIOUSLY. She's all like, "If you don't turn off the computer, I SWEAR I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU ANYMORE." and then that makes my brother get angry and he's like, "KEVIN, GET OFF THE COMPUTER!" (in fact he's doing it right now).

All this just happened and I'm just very very very very frustrated. WHAT ELSE DOES SHE WANT?

Sigh. Asian parents eh?

Finally. No. More. Pressure. OR. Work.


There's been a lot of pressure on me lately. First it's the Christmas Concert program that I had to write and design and then there was the Secret Santa thing which I just finished today and the homework that my teacher piled up on me. It's ALL FINALLY GONE.

Christmas Concert was today and it was pretty cool. So that checks off the program.

I went to Home Depot with my cousin's boyfriend (getting supplies to make a bird feeder) and on the way back got a present for my Secret Santa.

AND I finished all my homework and winter break is almost here.

I WAS Building A Bird Feeder Today


Anyways, for a side story, I'll talk about the bird feeder I worked on today. Basically what we (Alec, Raymond and I) were trying to do was recreate the failure that we created last time (the last bird feeder fell apart...). BUT this time we got better wood and we got the right supplies.

First we started off at Home Depot with buying some soil for my grandma. Then we looked for the stuff.
- wood (not really specific with what type, but just plain old good wood)
- wood nails (nails used specifically for wood projects)
- wooden shi-somethings...

Yah. So when we found all the stuff and got back home, we started. Well. Not really. We ate first and I made a card for my Secret Santa thingy, but after that, it was WORK. We basically worked from 9:00PM to 10:00PM. We managed to get the part where we would store the seeds and the base of it done, but we're going to finish the roof and shi-somethings tomorrow.

FUN.

Well, I HAVE To Go To Sleep


When I mean "HAVE", I literally mean it. I seriously HAVE to or else my mom will like seriously kill me. Oh well. I'm about a 8 today. Would have been a 10 if it weren't for the yelling, but oh well. Life isn't perfect. Thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll see you next post!

On My Hand: Write About School Life

About My School Life


Life at school is really fun and epic for me. But sometimes I do get into a pickle of trouble. And lately that trouble has been: disrespect. NOW, I don't really feel like I'm being disrespectful, but if my teacher says so and if other people feel so, then I will stop.

I don't TRY to be disrespectful. It's not something that is NATURAL for me to do. I guess I'm just trying to be funny at most times or I'm just really nervous OR I don't know what I'm doing.

I could have avoided making my teacher feel disrespected today.

"Kevin, do you know how to set this thing up?"
"Go ask somebody else."

Well. Wasn't EXACTLY like that. But went like that. Mr. Rowland was having trouble with the computer and... Well, he asked me.

Now. As a side story, people probably think that I'm all techy and all that stuff because I make websites or I just know my way around the computer. BUT one thing I'm not good at (and what people think I am good at) are browsers. I don't know how to import bookmarks, I don't know the basic functions of YouTube and all that stuff. So if you're asking me for help on that type of stuff, you're better off with another person. I'm more of the type of guy that usually works with website development (I don't really incorporate browsers into that type of stuff). So go ask another person if you've been constantly asking me for browser or online help.

So I say, "Go ask somebody else." But don't think of me as loud and rude and sneering. I was very timid and I genuinely didn't know how to do what my teacher wanted me to do.

When I look back at the whole thing, I guess I was disrespectful. I could have avoided the whole thing just by replacing five words with, "I don't know how to do this." or "Maybe you should go ask somebody else."

So Mr. Rowland, I'm pretty sorry for disrespecting you. I didn't realize it, but when I look back at the thing, then I do see it. Hopefully you're not reading this though.

Another Unknown Large Group Assessment Thingy 


WOAH. What? I went to another assessment thing? Yes I did. BUT, just like my UBC Transition assessment, I barely even knew about it.

It's just about lunch time and you could almost feel the nervousness in the air for those guys going to take the Van Tech Mini School test, but for me, I was totally clear for some basketball.

Well, I didn't know then.

So Mr. Rowland asks me, "Kevin, are you ready for the test?" or something like, "Good luck on the test Kevin." And I'm like, "What?" So he takes out the list of people's names that have registered for the Van Tech Mini School test and he says, "Well, your name is on the list." The the bell rings and I'm totally not sure what to do. My cousin, Michael, says that I should keep my options open, so does this count? I didn't know what to do, so I just gathered all my stuff and prepared to go (my friend's mom was going to drive me) . BUT then I decided not to go. Then I decided to go. Then not to. Then to. Then not to. You get it.

After a few minutes of thinking, I decided that I wanted to go just to try out the test, keep my options open and have fun. So I quickly grab pencils, a black pen and all that stuff and I head out to the lunch room.

Down there, I ask Angelo for his cellphone so I could call in with my grandma and tell her that I was going to go to a test (remember, I didn't know), but she wasn't home. So I called my dad at his restaurant and after a few minutes of Cantonese conversation, I got him to tell my grandma, my mom and essentially my whole family about the test.

Off we go.

Kito's mom ends up driving me (carpooling, yah!) and by the time I get there, I'm prepared and I've had my questions answered.

The test was fun. It was really fun. Completely a blow over compared to the Transition test. So I'm not going to talk about it. If you really want to know about it, go ask Calvin, Benson, Kito or somebody else. Anyways, after the test, Calvin, Benson and I go to office to hand in Calvin and Benson's application (I needed to get a new one) and we end up having a bit of an adventure.

I've now got a good understanding of everything high school and above grade seven programs. Before today, I thought that I definitely didn't get into Transition, but I now realize that the first offers were made in January (and the same is for other programs). How silly of me. =P

Today I'm About A... 10 OF COURSE


Today was a fun day. =) I can guarantee that. 10 because I had an adventure, got to skip some school (who doesn't want to with my sleeping patterns), got to play some Realm Of The Mad God (epic game you should check out, but you'll need Google Chrome) and... Well, today was just a great day for me (so is everyday).

Anyways, thanks for reading, I definitely hope you'll subscribe, I also hope you have enjoyed my new form of writing (one sentence paragraphs now!) and I'll see you in my next post!

Content With Life

Life Can Be And Is Good


When I was in grade five, life was basically horrible for me. A lot of traumatic things happened in grade five that I'm still not very proud of. I will borrow a line from a book called "The Boy And The Samurai" now to explain how my life was from grade five to what it is now. "He was like a general who had lost the battle, but not the war." Get what it means? Basically the things that happened in grade five changed my life forever, but didn't end my life. And from those things that happened in grade five to now, I have grown to be very content with life. I guess I haven't been fully appreciating it since now.

Labelling Is All Messed Up


Most of my posts are labelled as Personal and I find it kind of hard not to, because everything I put in this blog is personal... So I've decided to start (from now and on until my blog dies) to put only stuff about my relationships, serious family stuff, all those things into the label Personal. So does this post count as personal? Sure. Whatever. I've got to be much more careful with my labelling if I want more people to read my life. =P

Lame Excuse, The Walking Dead... -.-


So it's the middle of the season and oh, The Walking Dead crew all of the sudden decide to make up a lame excuse for not making more episodes. It's the middle of the season and we're going to start preparing for more drama, zombies and twists in the show. Seriously? You guys were doing brilliant after that "mid season" episode where there was a HUGE twist in the plot. If you guys come back in February with no momentum at all and start turning The Walking Dead into some lame show, then it's not my fault.

Okay, maybe they do have an alright reason to take a break. They've been putting a lot of twists and have been building up suspense for the next half of season two, so I've got to hand it off to the directors and everybody.

Anyways, I've really wanted to watch the next half of The Walking Dead ever since I saw this trailer.

That's It For Today

It's getting kind of late (not really... =P), so I'm going to turn in today and hit the hay sacks. Today I'm kind of a 9 because nothing extremely exciting has happened (although yesterday I did go out for sushi with Alec, Lina (my cousin), my brother and I). I didn't get to play on my Minecraft server with my friends this weekend, so I'm kind of bummed out about that too. Oh well.

No No No No High School!

Should I Call?


Now, my life is pretty jumbled up when it comes to high school stuff. I've got people telling me I've got to sign up by the 15th and people telling me that I'm super early to even start thinking about high school. A few problems here. First of all, I live in BURNABY. It MAY be different. Second of all, I am NOT applying for MINI SCHOOL as Burnaby North doesn't have one. Third of all, I seriously don't know who to rely on here.

Anyways, I'm going to try and contact the school next Monday (pretty sure they don't answer the phones on the weekend). Hopefully I can attend an info session (if they have any more left =P) or grab an meeting with the principal. Wish me luck! =P

Weekends, TGIS


TGIS, as most of you guys can probably guess (TGIS is driven from TGIF) means Thank God It's Saturday. Which is pretty true for me. I've been kind of tired again. Maybe I should take naps and go to sleep earlier. Oh well. Winter Break is almost here and I will be able to start sleeping in and sleeping earlier and sleeping in the middle of the day! Awesome.

Canucks Win 4 - 3 In Shoot Out


Yesterday the Canucks won 4 - 3 against the Montreal Canadiens in a game most people thought would end up with the Candiens winning, but no, the awesome Canucks came back from a 3 - 0 deficit and ended up tying the game and going into a shoot out (which Cody Hogson won and Montreal didn't get a goal in).

Going To Go Now...


There's this thing I do in the morning which is pretty cool. You have to say a number between 0 - 10 which best represents your overall mood. It's really useful because if something exciting happened last night, I would be able to get a chance to reflect on that. It's really cool, so maybe I'll try it out in this blog (although my number in the morning will probably be different that my number at the end of the day).

I guess I'm about a 10 overall today. I helped out Angelo with a problem and ended up helping his life. Kind of some pressure on me to touch base with Burnaby North and to finish a program for my school's Christmas concert, but not too much. No HUGE projects I have to finish and basketball practice was fun today. A pretty cool day.

Oh well. Thanks for reading, I did not forget the quote and I'll see you next time!

No Post Yesterday, Basketball's In And More

Sorry About The Empty Space Where A Post Was Supposed To Be


Yesterday my brother was using the computer (one of the cons of letting him use it around 10:00PM...), so I wasn't able to put up a complete post. But I did try to put up something. Let me check to see what it was.

There we go. I just checked it and here's what I wanted to talk about yesterday along with the topics today. Hope you enjoy.

"Restarting Life"


Yesterday I was just sitting around thinking, thinking deep thoughts and it just so hit me. I wanted to... Like restart life. I will admit I've made quite a few stupid mistakes in my life that I could have easily avoided, but decided not to in order to maintain my own dignity. I now realize how stupid I was.

So what does this mean? Well. This means that I want to like, turn over a new leaf, whatever. Not like completely change my personality, but just think carefully. Think before doing and saying.

I need to clear up a few things in my life. I need to help a few friends out with things. There are a lot of things I need to restart in my life.

Ah. Basketball =D


Tomorrow morning will be the first basketball practice for the season. Can't wait. After losing in the zone qualification rounds (my team got last place out of four teams), I feel (and I'm pretty sure my team feels the same too) that we need to redeem our honour (we made the soccer) and get to the city finals for basketball.

This reminds me of a stupid mistake I made just recently. During the last day of play off volleyball, something happened. I dunno. It was the last game and I kind of already knew we were going to lose (but that fact didn't change what happened). So we were facing Thunderbird. Oh jeez. So here's what happened. My team had already called like two time outs and I was kind of getting pissed off at them. They kept on yelling a each other and I don't know how I managed to stay with them for two time outs. Then it happened. So the score is like 23 - 10 something. Begbie calls their THIRD time out and I'm like, "OH MY GOD...". So they just keep on yelling at each other and they were like saying, "NO, YOU GO OVER THERE. FOCUS!" and I don't get it. I mean, everybody was seriously trying their best. So I say, "Can we just get this over with?". And then the team glares at me and I'm said, "Let's just do the cheer, can't we stop yelling and just play?". The rest of the team starts getting mad at me and accusing me of giving up hope (totally not the truth, you play the game until the end) and they told me to leave and a few people actually shoved me out of the tiny circle we had formed. So what was I supposed to do?

I left. I just left the court and walked out of the gym. As I reach the end of the hallway, my team mates look outside the gym door and are like, "What are you doing? We didn't mean it!". Yah. I'm pretty sure that shoving me out of the tiny little circle is a joke. And then the Thunderbird coach (also the referee at that game) came out of the door and said, "Where are you going? Get back in there!". So I walked back in and played the rest of the game. I still cooperated with the team (not sure how I managed) and I ended up having a good time (I was going to anyways). So that's what happened. I made a huge mistake, but now somehow I feel better explaining it to people. I dunno, but if that experience did not separate my friends and I further apart, it definitely made us even closer, more understanding and careful of how they should treat friends and more knowledgeable.

Today I Made Apple And Blackberry Pie! =P


So my cousin's friend is back from the States and I'm happy. Today is his second day in Canada and we decided to made a nice chicken noodle soup and apple and blackberry pie with ice cream for dinner. It was really good. We helped prepare the food and the chicken soup was good, but I loved the apple and blackberry pie that was served for desert. The ice cream really added a cool touch to the desert and I loved the whole thing.

My Dad Got Me A New Mouse


My old wireless mouse broke a while ago, so my dad bought me a new one. It's really cool and even works on glass. Thanks dad!

Well, I Gotta Go!


Thanks for reading today's post, I hope that you will subscribe (shows I have some loyal viewers =P) and hopefully you'll see a post with pictures tomorrow!

An Old Friend Returns

Today My Old Friend Came Back From The States


Today marks the day which my friend, Alec, comes back from the States (he's already at my house though =P). I haven't seen him like forever and I'm really happy he's here (although he's like 20 something...). Anyways, this winter break will definitely be much more fun with Alec here now (although he's leaving sometime in January).

Today I was doing some Minecraft research and I found out that the name DarkCraft had already been taken, so I had to switch it to Gordon's brilliant name, =PCraft. Anyways, if you want to hear the full thing of how it happened and what type of research went down, just go here.

That's It For Today


No exciting things have happened in the past few days besides me going to the Art Gallery, but that's really it. Life has been really pleasant for me and I can't help feeling that this might not last forever, so I'm going to make the best of it. Anyways, I'm going to try out something new to end each post now. With each post, I will place a quote that best describes my day overall. So thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll see you guys next time.

Today's Post: Gaming Edition

Let's Start Off With: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare


Oh. My. God. If you haven't played Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, then you have to try it (although MW3 is already out for play, it's still nice to take a look at this). This game is seriously EPIC. If you haven't tried it now, you have to go to a friends house and try it right away (or buy it yourself =P). The game has great graphics, thrilling game play, a nice set of loads of guns and last but not definitely not least, you've got the whole world to pit your skills against.

The game is great. The guns are great. The graphics are great. Everything is basically GREAT in this game. You've got loads of maps to play with and it's definitely worth a try if you haven't played it before.

So without further ado, I present you with Call Of Duty (or as my friends like to call it, COD): Modern Warfare 2. It's EPIC. Just play it.

Minecraft: It's Journey


About a year ago, I didn't even know what Minecraft was. It's pretty shocking to see that I now play it whenever I can. Pretty amazing too that the game was barely even popular even though it was released (the classic version) in 2009. Oh well.

Minecraft is a great game. Most games I love to play are simulation games. Minecraft is like a survival simulation game, but with more freedom. You can build stuff, build stuff, mine stuff, build stuff, craft stuff, craft stuff and much more. It's just an EPIC game (like all the games I like to play). Also like most of the games I play, it has a multiplayer version and I just love playing Minecraft with my friends (loads of fun when Jonathan keeps on getting blown up by a creeper whenever he walks out of the door). It's just a really amazing game when you get the hang of it and is a brilliant idea.

Gotta Go Now And Eat Some Dinner!


I have to go now and eat some dinner, so that concludes it for this blog post. For those people that don't like games, I'll just quickly brief what happened today for me. I went to the Vancouver Art Gallery, saw some really cool stuff, got a "Get A Life" pin, some Hals, a candy cane and had loads of fun. Thanks for reading, subscribe to my blog, don't get blown up by creepers and I will see you next post!

The Walking Dead: How I Became A Fan

In This Post...


In this post, I'll be talking about a lot of things, but the most important (well, at least to me) is something that will be the feature of today. Read on and find out!

Special Topic Time: The Walking Dead


Now, if you're already a fan of The Walking Dead and you haven't watched the latest episodes, you should really skip this (although I'm pretty sure that not many people watch the show). If you are a fan, but have watched all the latest episodes, then you can keep on reading. If you are somebody who doesn't even know what The Walking Dead is, you've got to read this.

The Walking Dead is a brilliant show. It's just epic. From the first episode to the latest episode, it's been really good (although some episodes are better than others). You've got loads of cool stuff like zombies, guns and drama. WOAH! Drama?! I know, that's what I thought too. I mean, when do you have a show with zombies, guns and drama? The Walking Dead is an epic show and you should really take a look at it.

I mean, who can't watch the show? After what happened in episode seven in season two, how can you NOT watch it?

That's All I Got For Today =(


Nothing special has happened over the weekends, so thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll see you next time.

Spent The Whole Day Editing

Spent The Whole Day Editing What Exactly?


Today I had a great chance to play on the DarkCraft server and get in some testing for the new server because my dad let me bring over his laptop to my grandma's house. BUT. The internet didn't work and... Well, what was I supposed to do with no internet. So I started using Windows Movie Maker (it's actually decent now...) and I came up with a 40 minute video of a failed map that the DarkCraft crew did. So I spent the whole day editing (adding music, adding words and bloopers) and I came out with one ham smacking video.

I Spent The Whole Day Editing, So Nothing Else


Tomorrow I will spend most of the day uploading the video to DarkCraft's channel (which I will link you to). Thanks for reading, subscribe and have a happy day!

Changed Blog And UBC Transition Assessment Today

I Changed The Blog


If you haven't noticed yet, I've changed the background and colour theme of the entire blog, so hopefully it will be a nice refreshment for you guys (do you like the picture? =P). Anyways, the blog has been completely updated and I hope that it will attract more visitors and will provide a good look instead of that old Movember theme.

Today I Skipped School


I skipped school today because I felt like being a bad boy. No, I'm just kidding. Today I had to go to the UBC Transition large group assessment (a fancy way of saying test). Anyways, I woke up in the morning around 8:00AM because I didn't have any sport practices (volleyball was over) and I wanted to get some decent sleep. Anyways, I woke up and checked out the info sheet and found out that the test was actually at 9:00AM. So I had to totally rush my breakfast and I don't think I got down my cereal properly. Anyways, I ended up leaving around 8:10AM and I arrived just a few minutes before they started. They started by talking and talking and more talking and then they gave us sample questions so we would get a good feel of the actual test. So then they gave us these booklets and sheets of paper. We got the cognitive skills thing first which basically tested us on our non academic skills such as memory, analogies and logic. It was multiple choice and they gave us these things that read, "#1 A B C D E" and the letters were in circles and you were supposed to fill in the circles that you thought were the correct answer. Anyways, after that, we had some sort of a break (a short 15 minute break) and we got to go outside (beautiful day today) and get some fresh air. Around 11:45, we went back inside and started on the math portion of the assessment. There were four parts to the math, all of them which were kind of optional to everybody. For me, I only had to do the Grade 7 part and had the option to do other grades (and I went to Grade 9), but for Grade 8s, they had to do Grade 8 and any other part they wanted and so on. After the math portion (it was already around 1:00), we had lunch and we had to get back by 1:30). Anyways, after lunch (I didn't eat any because there was basically no place to sit), we finished the English portion of the assessment, which included two essays on two stories and an essay on ourselves. It was a great day and I made a few friends (although I was the only Begbie there). I think I did well on the assessment, but one thing that keeps me nervous is the application form. I had forgotten to hand in my application form and was supposed to get another one after the test, but I forgot, so now I don't know what to do.

That's It For Today


The biggest thing today was the test, but overall, today was a pretty good day. I have to go now, so thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll see you next time!
