Trinidad

I'm missing Trinidad more and more these days...haven't been back for 5 years! That's just crazy, lol. I don't know how to explain it, but it's like I have to go back...I have to be there - even if it's only for a little while. Of course when the time comes to go, I get scared and don't want to go, I don't really understand that part.

I remember back when i started school there, the uniforms and everything...i did some stupid things...I used to run things, lol. My mom was a teacher, and she knew soo many ppl soo i was like this priviledged child....yes i was spoiled. I was in the equiv. of gr. 1 but it was soo much fun......
My best friend was a boy named Runcy, lol. He was my protector, if i wanted something done he would take care of it etc. He was always there for me...he even tied my shoes for me! LOL.
Then there was this girl named Raquel i think....yeah i hated her ok hate is too strong..i disliked her more than anyone can dislike another person - she was just so stupid. I was so mean to her too, but our teacher was friends with my mother...so i never got in trouble :)
One day she called me spoiled (the worst thing everrrr) so i took the new pencil she was showing off earlier that day , broke it into littly pieces and put them back on her desk....
Needless to say, she never gave me attitude again LOL.

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

homework

my 12 year old cousin D. is the funniest person ever.... he lives in trinidad and last week in school he had to write the differences between 2 pictures in his text book.

there were different categories ...seems soo simple but he's just unique soo this is what he handed in :

a) Pic 1) Indian
Pic 2) Negro

b) Pic 1) fair
Pic 2) black

c) type of hair:
Pic 1) smooth
Pic 2) RUGGED

his teacher wasn't tooo impressed though and he called him up to his desk....

teacher: your work is wrong

D: wha u mean sir?

teach: well you should have said dark brown NOT black
and DO NOT say negro either!
BOYY u racial?!?

D: i dunno, waz dat?

teach : jus choose yes or no

D: well den yeahh!

teach: look boy, go and sit down!

heheh...yepp fun times at school for my cuz. what he really had to do was say whether the pic was of a male or female, and the different colour clothing they had etc.

spelling bee

my 12 year old sister kimberly was taking part in her school's spelling bee.
Being the responsible older sister that i am, i was testing her the night before...
I told her to spell confusion, she asked me to use it in a sentence.. so placed on the spot i said "i couldn't find my shoes and i was confusioned" LOL...that didn't go too well with her.
Needless to say i didn't have to test her for the rest of the night.

Cheltenham Badlands

first, this place was like nothing i've ever seen & second, its name just fit.. lol Okay, I like the name sooo that's why :P
As soon as I saw it, I thought it looked like "sleeping dinosaurs" and I had this bad feeling about walking through the place as if the dinosaurs would wake up and get me :S
LOL...in reality there are no dinosaurs, it's a dried out sea bed that existed a looonnng time ago. It's strange to trek through the badlands though, because it's like being somewhere so different...
It's weird how when you're isolated you think of the worst that could happen...ppl say it's to prepare yourself should those things actually take place. For me, while I was in the middle of nowhere, exploring so-called BADlands, i kept wondering "what if aliens were there?? or what if some creature was there??" then...crazy as i am i started to think about what if i got LOST there?
In the end i had a good time and the dinosaurs didn't wake up, soo that's all that matters lol.

21st Birthday

I turned 21 on the 4th of October :D That day wasn't really a big deal, and i didn't really do anything but last saturday I had a party at my house with my family and some friends to celebrate this landmark age, lol.
Since the beginning of September I was fasting (no meat, no alcohol), soo when I finally got to break it there was nooo turning back, lol.

That night was all put together by my parents and random aunts and cousins...they know I love them, lol. I was sooo stubborn for the week leading up to the party - i knew I could take advantage of turning 21 and i did, lol. I made sure that I stated I would NOT be running around doing anything on saturday in preparation for the party...yes, i know that wasn't nice. Once saturday came, I felt guilty and I decided to run around like a crazy person trying to get last minute things in the nick of time. I was at the lcbo at 7pm when the party was supposed to be starting at 8!! I was sooo stressed AND i couldn't find my ID when i was there...not good. Then I had to pick up my own cake : the girl in the fortinos bakery looked at me with this sympathetic look...or maybe it was just annoyance because I was an hour late to pick it up...who knows??

After all of that, things were all good. The party went off without any "brown-anigans" (no petty fighting or anything stupid happening), lol.
I had a funtastic time because really I had some amazing friends there with me. I love my family, but without my friends I would go crazy :D


There's a saying that goes "friends will take you but not bring you back" ..west indian parents like to tell their kids that to teach them not to be a follow-er lol and to make their own choices because it means that friends can lead you into something but can't get you out, or something like that.
That doesn't apply to my friends though...atleast I don't believe it does, I trust them.

To everyone who was here that nite, esp. Sofiea, Tim, Vicki, Tony, Ryan, Kyster, Amit, Adrian, Claudia and Anant... thank you for the memories.
ooo and I will admit i was sooo tipsyyy but i was NOT drunk LOL.

oh noo

i am in a blogout...
i'm not able to write things without scrutinizing the words until i delete them.
this isn't good - hopefully it's just a phase LOL.

field trip

Two weeks ago I went back to Ching. It was a year and a half since I had been there...but it was good. I remember when I left to go to university, I always wanted to go back or turn time back. I liked being in high school...not for the classes, but the people :)
Ching is different though, people don't really mix anymore. There's so much tension for stupid things and kids are fighting just to prove themselves.

I remember the last day of OAC, I was just sad. I kept thinking that I wasn't gonna be able to see my friends everyday like I was used to. That's one thing that scared me the most about leaving ching, and I swear I used to wish time would just freeze.
It's different now though because so much time has passed, and I still miss the fun times in high school but I wouldn't go back, its .

After stepping into Ching, it's hard to explain it but the school felt small somehow...like I had outgrown it. Everything is still in the same place, but now by stairway in the corner of the french and business hallways, there's an elevator that goes down into the science hall.
The school is crowded...something like 1600 students, 20 portables and 128 staff. Ohh and I found out that Mr. Rosario went to a new school in Mississauga, fun times for all :)
