Une mise à jour en français.

J'écris en français parceque je trouve qu'il necessaire. Je pense en français ce soir. Donc, je sais que je n'ai pas écrire dans mon journal pour un mois. Beaucoup d'evénements s'est passé dans ma vie que j'ai oublié certains d'entre eux. Haha.

En decembre, je suis alleé chez moi pour visiter ma famille. C'était trés amusant. C'était gentil pour voir ma famille. Bien sûr, je suis allée à cheval. Puis, en janvier, je suis alleé a Nouveau York avec mes amies. C'était trés trés « fun » ! J'ai passée un moment incroyable. C'était spécial.

Maintenant, c'est le temps pour l'université. Encore. C'est l'hiver et je ne sais pas comment je me sens à ce sujet. Parfois il fait froid, parfois il fait chaud. Bien, il ne fait pas chaud comme l'été, mais il fait chaud pour l'hiver. C'est imprévisible. C'est le « global warming » , je pense.

De toute façon, c'est tout pour ce soir. Je suis fatiguée et j'ai besoin de mon dormir. Bonne nuit.

I'm writing in French tonight because I'm thinking in French. It happens. Please excuse any grammatical errors, or correct them if you will.

Happy December!

Enjoy this video as we embrace the new month!

Yes, it is of me haha. :)

A Short Update.

I have not been updating this blog for a while, so it's about time that I do. It's that time of the year again, pre-exam season that is. I'm in my second last week of school, and things are starting to die down a little bit until finals arrive. Last few days were hell for me because I had two papers that were due today. Now I can breathe a little bit. I only have my last paper to submit on Friday. :)

I went on a trip to the States on my Fall break. I went to Salem, Lowell and Boston in MA, then Chapel Hill in North Carolina and finally, Washington in DC. It was just amazing. The highlight of my trip was going to NC to see one of my oldest friend. We went to high school together and have always been talking about taking a trip. So I stayed with her in NC for a few days before we went to Washington DC together for the weekends!

I also meet up with two other friends of mine while in Washington. It was such a wonderful trip. Kind of sad when my buddy Mel and I had to part ways at Union Station in DC, as she hopped on the bus back to NC and I flew back to Ottawa. I don't know when I'll be able to see her next, but hopefully soon.

So overall life has been pretty amazing. I just need to past this exam hurdle, then I'll be a happier girl! Although I can't wait for a possibility of laser tag this Saturday! Huzzaaah!

Since It's Going to be Thanksgiving.

So this weekend is thanksgiving weekend in Canada, and because of that I feel that it's only appropriate for me to list down the things that I am thankful and grateful for.

I am thankful for still being alive today. Still breathing and living, while letting myself to make mistakes in search of what life has to offer me.

I am thankful for having the most loving, caring, supportive family one can ask for. My family, especially my parents, is definitely my backbone. I am absolutely nothing without them. I would never be able to achieve this much without their support and guidance.

I am thankful for the friends that I have, that there are people out there who actually genuinely enjoy my company, and love being around me. Accepted me for me, my background, my principles. Who are there for me when I am up and especially when I am down.

I am thankful that at this age, I am well-travelled, that I have managed to go to the places that I've always dreamed of, that I stepped foot in four out of the seven continents that the world has, and I hope that I will be able to travel more in the future.

I am thankful that at this age, I did the things that I've always, always wanted to do and did not let anyone stop me. I've bungee-jumped, I've sky-dived, I've been horseback riding, I've parasailed, I've snorkelled, I've snowboarded, I have a red belt in taekwondo, I've been kick-boxing, and I hope to add a lot more to this list.

I am thankful that at this age, I have fallen in love. I've experienced how it feels, and though it didn't last, it has taught me how deeply I can care for someone - a good realisation that I do have a heart, and how deeply I can have a connection with someone who isn't me, yet I can still be me.

I am thankful that at this age, I have experienced loss and hurt. It's definitely one of the most excruciating things I have to go through, but with this hurt comes the strength within me. Although it was difficult and sometimes the pain still lingers, I am thankful that I managed to be rational and stay as calm and collective as I could.

I am thankful that I have the memory with you, something that I could still cherish whenever I feel out of place. You had been my comfort zone, and though things had changed and you're no longer within my reach, the sense of you makes me feel real. Although we've been living different lives, as you took me out of you, you can never take you out of me.

Lastly, I am thankful that God has been very very kind to me and my family. I could never thank Him enough, because without Him and His blessings, I know for a fact that I will not be able to have all these things in my life, nor experience the things that I've experienced. I hope that I will never, ever, ever, take anything for granted, and that I will always be kind, helpful and humble in life.
