Dedicated to All Hater's and Anti's

Just yesterday, a friend sent me a link to someone's blog where most of his/her entries are demeaning to certain, if not most, celebs. I agree with some of the things that this person has written, but is it really necessary to point out all the bad points of an individual? No one in this world is perfect. We all make mistakes. Celebrities are human beings just like us and are not anymore perfect than we are. They are also entitled to make mistakes. There is no need to point out every mistake that a celebrity makes. How would you feel if someone were to point out every single mistake that you make or have made in your lifetime? Not so happy, I suppose and quite annoying, if I may add. We make mistakes, ackowledge it, then move on.

I don't understand haters and anti's who write stories about celebs that they dislike (whether it is true or not). Why bother wasting your time on those you hate and trying to find every single mistake that they make? Instead, why don't these people just go and support those they do like and admire? If you don't like someone then you should just simply disregard them and not make them the center of your world. You're putting way too much time on people you hate and not enough time suporting those you like and on your own life. When you see anti's talking shit about the celebs they hate, it only helps to motivate those celebs to do better and it makes those who read these posts think that you're jealous. You're jealous that you can't be in their position. You're jealous of the fact that they are getting so much more attention than you are. But do you realize that by you writing up shit about these celebs, you're just giving them even more attention?


To all those anti's out there, just disregard whoever it is you don't like. Don't acknowledge them as anything in your life and move on. Afterall, it's not like you're making a difference in this world. You're not changing anything, so just get on with your own life.

Regret is a Great Motivation

A continuation from a previous post.
It is definitely hard to forgive and forget, but once one person takes the first step, it makes things a lot easier; though the first step itself is hard to make. When you begin to think about the fact that you might have to live like this forever, not being able to talk to the other person over a stupid argument, you then become aware of the fact that you might just regret it. Say, if something happens and you guys get separated and aren't able to see each other anymore, you'll definitely regret wasting all that time that you could've spent together. Regret is the best motivation to take up new opportunities and experiences. Because of regret, I decided to take the first step and make a conversation first.

Now that I've taken the first step and it seems as though everything is back to the way it was, can we simply move on just like that and act as if nothing happened? Or is it necessary to talk about it before we can truly forget it all and move on?

We Live in a Cruel World

This post is going to be a rant on a news report that I had watched on television last night. There was a female who was in the midst of being robbed by a guy with a knife. The homeless man jumps to the aid of the female being attacked, but in returns gets stabbed and left alone on the streets to bleed to death. Though this man was stabbed several times in the torso, with one call to the ambulance with the help of a passerby, this man could have been saved. Not one, but more than TWENTY cold blooded, heartless people walk by this dying man and does nothing. On top of that, one man calmly takes out his cellphone to take a picture of this man. (Why is it that this man has the time take out his phone to take a picture of the man dying, but cannot simply dial the three digit number, 911, to save his life?) Just because he is a homeless man does that mean that he does not deserve to live? Why is his life any cheaper than ours? If anything, I believe that this man has more right to live than those who walked by and did nothing. Other than the heartless creature who took a picture on his phone, there was another man who had shook the victim vigorously until he saw the pool of blood and left. When someone sees another person on the ground with a pool of blood around them, what do you think they should automatically do? Run? ... well that`s what this man did. You call fucking 911! It is really not that hard. Even an elemantary kid would ask for help or tell someone about it if they saw something like this. But the 25 people who walked by this poor man did absolutley nothing. When has our world become so ridiculously cruel and heartless?



I grew up being taught that if I have the ability to help someone, then do so. Even for something as simple as giving up my seat for an elder or pregnant woman. In fact, actions like these should be expected. I believe that if I help someone, they will then have the motivation to go and help someone else. Thus, everyone will be helping everyone else. This is the kind of world I would like to live in and not in a world where people refuse to help others. It is funny how some people expect or want others to help them when they dont help others themselves. Why does our world constantly become more and more selfish? This was honestly a very heart-breaking story; a story that reveals the true nature of what humanity is slowly becoming, until we decide to do something about it.

Forgiving and forgetting doesn't always happen.

When I think back to situations, whether having to have happened to me or from movies that I've seen, to forgive and forget seems normal and always a possibility. Forgiving seems easy and managable, but forgetting is the problem. It is almost always impossible for someone to forget something that has happened. Whether this situation is something that they want to remember or not, no one has the choice. This event will forever be a part of this persons memory. If only we could choose to remember only the things that were pleasant in our lives and to be able to forget all the bad. If only bad memories could be thrown away like a used tissue in a garbage can, life would be so much more simple and happy.

If I were given the chance to choose any super power I wanted, it would probably be the ability to make people happy. A lot of people are miserable because tof certain past events that they cant seem to forget. No one in this world can say that the have been happy their entire lives. No one in this world can say that they have never cried once in their lives. We've all had something bad happen to us at least once in our lifetime. Some, if not all, of us have thought to ourselves at least once that life is unfair. "Why is this happening to me? Why me?"  For those who are even more extreme about their unhappiness, there may have even been thoughts of suicide. What ever the problem may be, I don'nt think that any problem permits suicide. You may try to fix a problem but fail to do so, but at least you know you've tried. Now move on with your life without any regrets.

Today is one of those days for me where I will never be able to forget what happened. I haven't cried like I did today for a very long time. Though crying seems like a sad gesture, it is undeniable that it is the best reliever for stress. After crying for an hour and a half before falling asleep, I woke up feeling a lot better. Though my problem is yet to be solved, I feel a lot more calmer now to talk about it and attempt to solve it. I wish I could forget everything that has happened today, at least the unpleasant parts anyway, but we all know that forgetting is impossible. But forgiving is an option.

Let's greet Summer 2010 :)

I’m done all my final exams, which accounts for only 2 classes, but it wasn’t as easy as you’d think. Anyway, regardless of the number of exams I had to write, studying was a pain in the butt. Studying for a class that you have never paid attention in is very difficult and time consuming. It's like telling a baby to read a chapter book. I had the honour (NOT!) of doing so. You don't understand what it is you're reading and everything is new to you. You're basically teaching yourself everything you need to know. Well, what’s done is done. Now I can relax for the next two weeks until my summer class begins. In my previous post, I mentioned that I will be going to Shanghai for a summer course, but before the departure, I must attend three weeks of classes here. Although it’s only one course, having to study and memorize how to write the characters for tests and doing homework will take up most of my time during the week.

I don’t plan on going out with my friends or doing anything special before I leave, but my sister and I are planning to cook dinner for my family the night before. We are currently still deciding what will be on the menu. Once summer school starts, I’ll be too busy doing homework and packing for my trip so I won’t have time to post any new entries. But once I get to Shanghai, I’ll try to find the time to post up some pictures and give details about how my trip is going so far. I am really looking forward to this trip! At the moment, I am trying to convince my parents to let me: a) extend my trip to Shanghai for another week so that I have more time to explore the area OR b) allow me to go to Japan with my Japanese friend that might be visiting Shanghai during that time and spending a week or so there. Either way, I hope they allow me extend the length of my trip.

I will definitely be home-sick, but at the same time, I am someone who loves to travel and explore. I love to try new things (especially when it comes to food)! And it’s not like I will be gone forever, it’s only going to be an extra week! It would be so amazing if could go to Japan, but I would still be happy with another week in Shanghai.

My luggage is not very big, so I’m trying to limit myself as to how much and what I need to bring. I don’t want to bring too much, but I also want to make sure I have enough. I guess bringing more of something is better than leaving the country and then realizing that I forgot to bring something or regret not bringing something. I know I will be buying lots of stuff from China to take home so hopefully there will be enough room in my luggage. If there isn’t enough room, then I guess I’ll have to buy another small luggage or a travel bag. I am extremely excited for this trip, as I have mentioned it already about a thousand times, and absolutely cannot wait to try the new foods!

After I come back from my trip, that's when summer will really begins for me. I will be stress-free from exams and tests and won't have to worry about doing homework until September, when everything starts all over again. That's life for you. Everything in this world goes around and is repetitive. You start in one place, and you move around until you end up in the same place again. Then you start all over again. Our education is an example. Work is another example, where you do the same thing every single day from a certain time to another time. Karma is the best example of them all. It's also something that I personally believe in. What goes around comes around. That is why I always give up my seat on the bus to elders because maybe one day in the future when I get old (yes, I do realize that I, too, will become old), and I have to take the transit, someone will lend their seat to me. (Though I'd prefer my children to drive me instead.) What comes around goes around; remember that!

CHINA: SHANGHAI 2010 :)

I believe the title says it all. Shanghai, here I come! On the 22nd of May I will be departing Toronto for a three week stay in Shanghai. This will be my first time visiting China and I am very excited to be able to expand my knowledge on the Chinese culture as well as being able to experience the life in China. Though this all sounds like fun, the main reason for my visit to China is because of school. I currently go to York University and am taking a Chinese course in the summer. In China, I will still be going to school and classes like I regularly would here in Canada. I have classes 5 days a week and only get weekends off. Most of my time will be spent on doing assignments and homework for this course but I will definitely find the time to explore my new surroundings.

I have done some research on where I will be making my trip and Shanghai looks like a beautiful place. On top of that, everything appears to be extrememly cheap! I am also very lucky to be going to China during this time because during my stay there I will be able to go to the Shanghai Expo. I have no idea what that is, but it seems pretty big. =/ I've been told that its somewhat like the olympics, in that it only happens once every 4 years and the location differs every time. I am very excited to try the new foods and experience the night life in China. I absolutely CANNOT wait!

... About a month left until my departure! : )
