New Beginnings

First blog post in the New Year!

As cliche as it is...and although I know the New Year tends to be over rated, I am excited to start all over.
This is all just kind of an excuse for people, like me, to tell ourselves we have a fresh start when every next day is technically a new start anyways. I am a little derpy at the moment, so hopefully whatever I type will still be sort of coherent.

I was and am excited for what 2015 will hold for me. Oh, Happy New Year!
I haven't blogged for a while...still sort of out of it.
I tried tumblr-ing, but that didn't work out well.  I also tried just writing in a journal...and that didn't work out well either.  So, I will try and blog here once in a while.

Already, the new year has been amazing.

I decided to set New Year Resolutions for myself and so far...I've completed two?  I feel very blessed and happy I got to celebrate the last day with friends & loved ones and counted down with family (ish).  That was amazing and definitely different from my usual stay-at-home-in-bed-by-myself routine I do during Christmas and New Years.  In these last four days of the New Year...I learned to snowboard and I got to meet someone new.

I discovered how fun, refreshing, and thrilling night boarding is.  It's amazing how not only did I learn to snowboard and did it during the morning (taking a morning bus and seeing the sunrise with friends...felt like a field trip in elementary!), but I got to snowboard at night.  The view was spectacular and the people...the people were amazing.  It was fun: filled with laughter and bruises!

While I am still suffering from a sore body and bruises covering everywhere...I got to meet someone important today.  One of my close friend introduced me to someone special and I still can't stop smiling.  It's such an honor I got to spend the day with them, getting to know them better and not just hear about her from him.  Played monopoly deal, Wii Mario Party, ate xlb and shanghai food, got bubble tea, and watched one of my favorite movies.  Made me so happy how much they enjoyed my recommendation and that they enjoy hearing my movie rant and all that! (I feel cool, yay! Reputation intact!) Today was just awesome.  All my nerves I had building up yesterday died.

I know school starts soon, but I just can't wait to see what happens.  Already, I have a few dates made for the upcoming few days and I just can't help but feel excitement! I also can't stop thinking about night boarding and feeling honored.  Gahh!!
I also need to stop my shopaholic-ness though.  Oh my gosh, don't get me started! ...I did another haul last night and now I am patiently looking out for a snowboarding jacket, goggles, gloves, and some base layers!
-sigh- That is definitely an issue! Must save up!

I just want to express my appreciation for everyone (who will not read this blog, haha) for making my winter break so amazing.  I learned a lot of about the magic of the Christmas atmosphere and the importance of giving! This year was definitely focused on giving and my attempt to make things more personalized.  Hopefully, my goal to reach everyone's feels worked. (:

Time for a new start to this year! Going to be crazy, but I can't wait to stack myself with lots of work and snowboard + be healthy (since I fat this winter!).


Good night,

J

endless new starts

i make mistakes after mistakes...
what makes me different from others is that i am fortunate to have some one forgive me over and over again, letting me start anew each time...thinking it's worth it.
despite all my flaws, i am given countless chances to redeem myself each time.

thank you.

today, the eastbound skytrain to king george, which i take every day to get to surrey central, was stopped because a bomb was spotted on the tracks.
news were on it and made me freak out because today, due to the strike, my classes were cancelled.  I was ended up commuting for two and a half hours + back and forth...

although nothing happened, if something were to...i would be freaking out right now.
just two hours before, i was still on the skytrain...if i had stayed to catch breakfast or didn't text my classmate to learn about the class cancellation, i would've been stuck around the surrey area...stuffed into a shuttle bus to get by...

i realized how lucky i was today.
how lucky nothing happened...
the route i take every day...to have something like that happen is actually really scary. how long was it there? this whole time?

either way...i have been way too paranoid these past few days with nightmares. waking up every half an hour when i turn or move...
keep staying up and being awake.
it was due to the halloween horror episode thing i watched with my sister and her boyfriend and andy.
not the best idea...
i thought i matured and grew up, but i guess so did my active imagination..which resulted in my inability to sleep...i now depend on passing out to get some rest..
hopefully this ends soon. brainwashing myself with happy anime at the moment.

anyhow, good news is i figured my schedule for next semester.  very un-art, but i will be only at the burnaby campus.  guess now i can decide which i prefer and also, after the bomb incident, i kind of don't want to keep taking the skytrain. to be honest, the skytrain/bus station is really sketchy...some times i get kind of paranoid when it's getting late.
either way, i will also be able to see if i like business courses. haha. but lucky me, midterms and exams are back again. good bye, midterm projects!
