Met The Most Inspirational Famous People. Pretty Much The Best Day of My Life. Milestone.

I guess I haven't really blogged in a while.

Been drinking too much tea, writing so many songs, and making a lot of lattes lately.

I'm a barista now ! So exciting.


Major update: I met Of Monsters and Men over the weekend ! :)

Post #6: Happy New Years.

So this is it: 2012.
Doesn't feel very different, and yet it's preparing to dump prom, grad, and an IB Certificate into my hands.
I'm pretty stoked. These 12 years of education, are finally going to mean something to me.
Sure, some of it--actually, the majority of it--sucked. But that's just it.
It's like I can almost see the light....
I'm almost done.
Highschool drama will finally come to an end.

12 years of preparation for the real world... will finally come into play... and I will be released to explore the world, and make what I can of it.

The thing is, last year... in 2011... it took me months to debate over what YWAM DTS program I had wanted to do.
See, this whole time I've wanted to push myself, take a risk, and do something crazy.... that 'something crazy' turns out to be a 6 month discipleship training school... overseas.

I wanted to go to Hawaii, and the "Engage"DTS had really captured my attention, only to find out this year that in September 2012, the only base in Kona that is for 'someone like me', does not happen to be "Engage."
I had thought that was the one.

Apparently not so.

So here goes, again.

Man. Hello 2012, and the confusion you have brought.

Time to trust God like there's no tomorrow.
Pray for me folks ! I need to figure out what I want to do ASAP.
University or YWAM.
YWAM or University.

:O

Other than that, I'm so excited.

Why is this a "justification post?"

I need to justify myself.
Do what's right.
Be myself.
Intercede.
Love.
Complete my new years resolutions:
   -to stand up for myself
   -say "yes" to things I normally would say "no" to, without breaking moral values (haha, yes, like "Yes man!")
   -Exercise more--> +blog+write music+draw more tooooo. :)

I need to justify myself in order to bring justice into other situations.

This probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense...

Maybe, if I tell you this is one of those "New Years Moments," you'll understand.

A "New Years Moment" where I feel inspired to become a better person, in order to change the world.

Blogger's Challenge Day 05

Oh how I love to voyage. If I could, I would travel the world. Time would matter not.

I would live to travel. Travel to love. Love to seek. Seek to believe. Believe to live...

I love the world.

Having said that. I have pretty much traveled north to south of the province I live in. This province will remain nameless ;)

I have been to both Calgary and Edmonton...and the places in between there.

I have been to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Long Beach...well... I'm sure you've caught the drift. Cali's a wonderful place to be.

My all time favourite place: Sri Lanka.
Oooooh..... <3 LOVE.

This picture is of me at the beach in Sri Lanka. :) It was soooooo wonderful.

I want to go back.

Our airplane stopped in the Philippines and Singapore. I don't know if that counts as a place I've been to though. :)

This isn't part of the thinger, but, my favourite quote that fits well with my traveling-bug spirit:

" I Spent Forever Wondering If You Knew I Was Enchanted To Meet You."

So...I have been to that Magical World of Disney! :) OMW. SuperOOOBER amazing :)
My Favourite Ride: Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye. The surprise drop = best part.
Star Tours is unfortunately closed until 2011, otherwise it would have been my favourite.
2nd Favourite Ride: I ACTUALLY WENT ON A ROLLER COASTER! :O CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! THIS COMING FROM THE KID WHO SWORE SHE WOULD NEVER GO ON ONE! :O It was Space Mountain. OMW. COOLEST RIDE EVER! :O :D
I also had the pleasure of meeting Pluto and Buzz Lightyear. The line ups were too long to meet Mickey and Minnie.
((Other Favourite Ride: Splash Mountain Park))

******Question: Why do Mickey and Minnie live in separate houses? I thought they were married >.<

Memo: I BOUGHT AN AMAZING YODA BACKPACK! :O :D IT'S SO COOL!!!!!! :D

My happiness in California also revolved around SEA WORLD!
haha: SHAMU! SHAMU! :)
I met ELMO AND ZOE! :O :D DREAM COME TRUE really :P :)
There was a cool simulator ride there too ;) Though I'm sure it absolutely doesn't measure up to the Star Tours Simulator :P :)

Memo: The dolphin show involved "strange people" in PARROT costumes trapeez-ing around an aquarium riding on the backs of dolphins and singing sparkly-like songs.

It was......a one of a kind experience.

Now, Thirdly, I ventured to Universal Studios!! Incredible! Who knew what went into making movies. You know they spent like.....hundreds of thousands of dollars on the airplane crash scene in War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise? And the scene lasted like...2 minutes.
The Jurassic Park Ride was SO SCARY! :O
I can't believe I went on all these rides! Honestly I thought I couldn't handle anything!
:)
I met Scooby Doo, Shaggy, and Daphne! :)
And a vampire. T_T He was very creepy. You know what he said to me? "Vwear are You from?" 'Canadaaa' "MMmmmmmm YUMMY!" THEN IT ALMOST FELT LIKE HE WAS REALLY GONNA BITE ME! EW EW EW!

Too creepy for my liking, thank you very much. T_T

******************************************
I should probably go finish all that homework I never did. :P :)
OH!
NASA, Athos, Crackers, and Judicious and the Giant Peach will be happy to know that I've finished the fifth book in the Harry Potter series. Took me long enough, I know right?!
GAHHHHHHHH HATE LOATHE ENTIRELY SICK OF THAT STUPID UMBRIDGE WOMAN!!!!!! I ALMOST RIPPED THE BOOK IN HALF IN RAGE! :O
She was better off dead in the end and I hope she never reappears in the following books. -.-
I am also hesitant to convey......that I did cry when Sirius died :'( And all the stuff that could've been prevented--in preventing him from dying!!!! :O
I couldn't believe it. If only Harry had opened the package before hand :\

Garsh.
Well.
Off to work on all that History. :P

JAZEE.

p.s. i came across this video. i like the piano progression. :) it sounds pretty rad.
(i rate it PG though....close friends will understand why :D )
