Angels in the Night

On Tuesday December 8th I will be participant in the charitable yearly event called "Angels in the Night". Angels in the Night is a community effort that delivers new purchased coats, blankets, gloves, toiletries, and other essentials to homeless shelters across 11 cities in Canada. Every December, hundreds of Angels in the Night volunteers, Invis and Mortgage Intelligence Mortgage Consultants along with their business and families hit the streets in cities across Canada from Halifax to Victoria giving to those less fortunate. In Toronto we will be helping these shelters:

• Native Child and Family Youth Shelter

• Salvation Army Gateway

• Fred Victor Centre for Women

• Street Haven• Florence Booth

• Gateway

• Maxwell Meighen

• Native Men's Shelter

• Christie Ossington Men's Shelter

• Women's Residence

• Cornerstone Baptist

And there are also a few street teams, walking the streets giving blankets, gloves, toiletries, and other essentials to homeless that do not have the opportunity to stay in shelters.I will take plenty of picture to share, and show how much we helped. So keep reading! If you are interested in making a donation feel free to contact me for more information.

Backstabbing!

We've all done it at least a few times in our life but seriously once you hit grade 12 I think it's time to stop! I can't believe it though that at 17 years old a girl can just say to someone that after a long time of having a super close friendship with a person, she asks herself everyday why she's even friends with such person. I mean when you hear such things behind someone's back would you tell them, especially if that person was also your best friend, I know I would okay well I did. I don't know if I did the right choice or not but backstabbing is stupid and hurts! What would you have done in my shoes?

My Story:

One day, during lunch, I went to talk to my friend very quickly leaving my other friend alone for a second but when I turned around to talk to this guy that I needed to show something to, my friend I went to talk to, said to this one girl, that asked her why are you even friends with her, that she doesn't even know and she asks herself that everyday. I just walked away to my friend I left alone very quickly because they were talking about her. And I told my friend right away and she was upset to the point that she was so mad. Ever since then the two of them haven't talked to each other and I haven't talked to the girl that said that either because she really hurt my best friend's feelings. I think she did anyways.

But still I don't really know if I did the right thing by telling her or not I just find that backstabbing is stupid and even now the girl that said that keeps on saying mean things about my friend!

Halloween Weekend!

My Halloween weekend all started Saturday the 31st at 7:30 am in Oakridge's. When I first got there we ate breakfast afterwards we went to the store to go get candy, chips and dried corn. At around 2h30 pm we started to decorate the house inside and out, set the strobe lights, backlights, fog machines and install the loudspeakers for the music. At 5 pm we stared to get dressed and turn it all on (light, music and atmospheric fog). I was so excited to scare and give out candy to the kids and parents that stopped by! Are house was the scariest of the neighbourhood, car where stopping in front to come and visit are surprisingly scary house. I am certainly looking forward to next year's Halloween, to create a bigger a scarier haunted house.

Here's a video of what our house looked like.
Hope you enjoy!

Halloween Costumes Since 1992.

My first costume on my first night of Halloween, shortly after I was born I dressed up as a Lady Bug till the age of three. Then my grandma made me a pumpkin costume. Afterwards about 4 years later my grandma made me a clown costume. Shortly after I wanted to change to something else but my grandma moved to New Brunswick and no longer make my costumes. Therefore my mom decided to buy me a witch costume. I was stuck wearing that costume till I was in grad 9... In grad 9 I decided to make my own costume, I was a dead ballerina. Then the next year the Lady from "Sweeny todd" Miss Lovett! Finally this year I was a "Doll Serial Killer". Can't wait to make my costumes for next year.

Texting!

I am not afraid to say that I am slightly a text-aholic! Ever since I got my phone, I have been non stop texting my friends and even sometimes I text my parents because it is way cheaper than calling for one and no long distance fees so I can text my friends anywhere in the world! Of course I'm not necessarily a crazy texter because sometimes I do get annoyed and then just don't text or I get someone else to text for me! But texting is very popular now and I love using the shorter versions of the words but not everyone I text does, so when it comes to them, I rarely text them.

I usually use certain text words over others such as:

OMG=Oh My God!

LOL=Laugh out loud

BTW=By the way

TTYL=Talk to you later

CYA= See you later/soon

FYI=For your information

ILY=I like/love you

HRU=How are you

There are many other words that can be seen in texts but these are the most common ones that I use!

Girl's Night!

As I got older I've realized that many more guys have come into my life as either a friend and some as a boyfriend. I must admit the I prefer my guy friends over most of my girl friends but of course not all because I am a girl and I do have my certain group of amazing gal pals of course! It's just that when I'm not around those girls, I hang out with all guys. But considering guys are a bigger thing as we get older, I always make time to hang out with my girls! Sometimes when I hang out with my girls, some guys come along also, so technically that isn't a girls night. Although when it's only me and my girls, all we do is normal girl things. First we always just sit and gossip about random stuff, then most of the time we go tanning plus we always have an adventure getting there because if we don't take the bus then we walk and many times the bus goes out of business so we have to wait longer for the bus. Anyway, after tanning, we either do a little shopping then go to a convenience store or grocery store to buy some junk food, such as, chips, candy(Mmmm...candy), some random and different kind of juice that we've never had before, and also energy drink. Once we do all that we go back to whoever's house and watch one of the thousands of movies my friend Kayle owns then we talk and finally just laugh are bums off. What makes these nights special is that we have so much fun and never stop laughing!!

Nicknames!

Nicknames, definition an invented name for somebody or something, used humorously or affectionately instead of the real name like baby, hun, honey, etc. Sometimes when used humorously though, it can be an inside joke between only a certain amount of people so in which case I find that people shouldn't necessarily use those nicknames unless you're around people who also understand your joke but might not be actually involved in such jokes. So when it's a joke be careful where and when you use it. But nicknames can se a shortening of a name or something that sounds like the person's name! Those are the kind of nicknames I use! Especially for my friends.

Such as...

Kayle=Kay, Kayl, Kaykay, Kaysey, Kase, and even Kayster!

Patrique=Pat, Patty, Patty Cakes, Bobby P, Peewie and sometimes Petee.

Mathew=Mat, Matty, Chew chew, and Matchew.

Natalie=Nat or Noodles.

And sometimes even a nickname can be as simple as their last name! I like using nicknames because if I know someone with the same exact name, I can distinguish them by using nicknames!

Projects

I have a hard time keeping up with school work because I get distracted so easily. I usually wait until the last minute to truly do my work. It's wrong I know but seriously I can't concentrate on one thing for more than 10 minutes. I have so many projects that are late because of this. It's also not only the fact that I can't keep concentrated but also my little brother is such a little annoying kid that my parents are always getting me to the chores, babysit little kids on the block, go to the store for them, watch my little brother when he goes to his friends house. Seriously I rarely have time for school work and then my parents always wonder why I never hand in my stuff on time. I tell them but still they never give me the time of day and now that I'm in grade 12 I stress myself so much more. But I know that I can do it, I just have to work my bum off and start trying my best to keep concentrated. Plus with the help of my friends telling me to keep working, hopefully it will make my brain start focusing on no more than one thing!
