December....Christmas....

It's December! Wow, I can't believe it's already December (how time flies). When people talk about December, people normally think of Christmas and presents. Even I'm thinking of presents right now while creating this post. So last night, my uncle, my brother and I went to the L'Amoreaux Recreational Community Centre (sorry, I forgot how to spell L'Amoreaux, so don't blame me if i spelled it wrong) to play badminton. Well, guess what? My uncle gave my brother a brand new badminton racket as a Christmas present! it was a good racket, since it looked pretty good and it was very light, too. So right now i'm wondering what i might get as a Christmas present (i hope it's something that i want, like a PSP, or something...).

Right now at school for english, my class is doing "top ten things". I'm doiing the top ten video games i want to play (i like playing video games, and... it's fun, right?). I know Aruuran is doing top ten soccer players, O$c@r is doing top ten pies (i think), and Andrew is doing top ten computers. I don't know what everyone in my class are doing, but it really doesn't matter to me. For science, we're starting the heat & temperature strand/unit. Art: we're starting to draw those tiny anime-characters (big heads, tiny bodies). I don't want to keep on talking about it so ummm, maybe i should talk about something else.

Okay, so finally, SAM's Christmas concert is coming up, and i'm in it (i'm in choir, and DON'T LAUGH!). i think it's the coming thursday, or was it next week's thursday (i don't remember the dates very well). I guess that's all i'm gonna tell you. Oh, i almost forgot to tell you that i'm moving to Richmondhill during the Christmas holidays, so i won't be going to SAM anymore(i'll miss my friends, but my mom said i can come visit, i think). So, bye! (REMEMBER TO DON'T LAUGH AT ME!)

Remember and Responsibility: The Battle of Vimy Ridge

Remembrance Day just passed last week. This day reminded a lot of people about what the soldiers that sacrificed their own lives did: protecting the country and it's people. So this post is pretty much about the battle of Vimy Ridge. After seeing some pictures about the battle, I thought about a lot of things. For example, aren't the soldiers scared, seeing that so many of their comrades had died? Well, I don't know. But I suppose they think protecting the country and it's people is more important than their own lives. This may or not affect some you, but just looking at the pictures will surely make you think of something. When I looked at the pictures, I was thinking if it was worth it for them to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of the country and the lives of other people. Well, I guess they did it because they their friends or other people die, so they don't want other people to have someone they know die. So, I think it was worth it in a way, because they fought for the happiness of others, even though they might not get anything in return. The sacrifices of the soldiers affected me because it made me feel sympathy towards the soldiers that knew someone that died and the soldiers that died. I have nothing else to talk about, so I'll post again next month (I think).

Niagara Falls: Part Two (my last day there...)

Today, we went to the water park to play one last time before we leave. Afterwards, we went to Wendy's to eat lunch. It was great! Then, we drove around the place, and stopping to take pictures. We stopped at the falls and at the bridge that takes you to the United States. We also went to the place that makes wine. We even tasted some of the grapes (used to make wine) there! Some was bitter, some was sour, and some was sweet. You may think it's like normal grapes, but it's not. It's true that normal grapes taste sweet, bitter, and sour, but it was in a different way compared to normal grapes. When we were finished there, it was like 6:00p.m., so we decided to go eat dinner at this Brazilian steak buffet. There were lots of steak, alright! Every couple minutes or so, someone would come over holding something like a gigantic metal needle with steak "pierced" through it. It was a pretty good meal. However, I don't like the fact that the people with the steaks come too fast. You get full easily, and then you just don't want to eat anymore. Later, we drove back home (not in Niagara Falls anymore) because I had to go to the music retreat the next day. So I got home and went to bed. Well, that's the end to my trip to Niagara Falls. Oh well, see ya later (now that I mentioned about the music retreat, maybe my next post should be about that.Hmmm...maybe. Oh, write down comments to tell me whether or not I should talk about the music retreat. Thanks!). Bye!

My Trip to Niagara Falls: Part One (I guess...):D

Just about one week ago, I went to Niagara Falls on a weekend (October 31 to November 1, and I mentioned this in my last post) I went there with my parents, my brother, my cousin and my cousin's parents. We started driving there at like about 2:00p.m. While I was in the car with my parents and my brother (I was in one car with my parents and my brother, and my cousin, Nicole, was in her parents' car), I was extremely bored. I had absolutely nothing to do. My Nintendo DS was in a bag in the trunk of the car and I forgot to bring book. So all I did was sit there in the car, doing nothing. Nothing at all. I tried to sleep (I slept at like 11:30 the night before, so I was tired), but my brother was talking too loud, even though we were in a car. So when we were finally there, I was so glad I didn't have to sit in the car anymore. We then got all our stuff and went to our room at "The Great Wolf Lodge". I started unpacking my stuff, and I changed into my swimming shorts. This was because we were going to go downstairs to the water park for a while before we went trick-or-treating (it was Halloween...). When we got to the water park, we first went to the slides that required tubes. Next, we went to the slides that didn't required tubes. It was FUN!!! My favourite slides were the "Canadian Vortex" and the "Niagara Falls Rapids" (I don't exactly remember the names of the slides). After all of us took our showers and stuff, we went trick-or-treating! My brother was a clown with sunglasses, a straw hat, and a dagger (it's plastic!). I borrowed some of my mom's make-up (I used it to make myself look scary, not for "girly" purposes!) and I also had two pairs of fake teeth and a dagger also. We went to the lobby, and there was cake and people were dancing. Then, me and my brother saw a grandma burping, dancing, and eating cake at the same time!!! That's like so weird, and I'm not lying. But since we were late, there was no more candy, so we went back to our room. Then some of my parents' friends came over (I was surprised too) to our room. I was tired so I went to sleep, but they so loud. They were talking and talking. I just lied down on the bed, and after a while, they left and I was able to sleep. Oh, I better talk about my next day at Niagara Falls next time, because I have to go to bed. So, wait for my next post, bye!

The Day Before Halloween...

Hey, it's me, Justin! It's been a long time now since I last posted(one month ago). Well, I've decided to post today. Today is the Halloween dance. And guess what? I didn't go! Well, that doesn't really matter to you anyway. Anyway, today I planned to go to the haunted house at school before I went home. However, today I just found out that you have to be in the dance because after the dance starts, you have to wait until someone comes and tells you that you can go(by the way, only four people can go each time). In the end, I just went home.

Okay, so anyway tomorrow is Halloween(I can't believe tomorrow is Halloween already!), and my parents had already planned where we're going(this includes my brother, my mom, my dad, and me)to tomorrow night: Niagara Falls. I was quite surprised myself when I heard we're going to Niagara Falls. Did I tell you that I don't have any costumes or anything else for Halloween? Guess not. So because of that, my brother and I(with our parents)went to Dollarama yesterday. My brother, Jusman, got a clown nose that lights up(personally, I don't really like it)and a plastic dagger that has fake blood in it. I also got the dagger, but I got something else also: two sets of fake teeth! One set glows in the dark, the other one doesn't(I was wondering, does that mean I have three sets of teeth including my own?). Anyway, I guess that's all for this month. Blog you next month!

What should I post on my blog? Oh, I know! I'll talk about....me. Okay, so hi, my name is Justin and I am twelve years old. I am born on July the 27, in 1997. I was born in Toronto, Canada in North York General Hospital. My former (old) school is Iroquois Jr. P.S. I had lots of friends when I was there. However, most of them either went to Henry Kelsey, or Henry Hudson. Even though almost none of my friends came to SAM, it's okay. This is because I have new friends, like Aruuran and Oscar (but I guess most of you might not even know who they are). Maybe I should talk about something else now. Some of my hobbies are: reading mostly manga and graphic novels (don't ask me why), playing badminton, playing video games and irritating my younger brother for fun! Just joking, I don't tease my younger brother. I'm nice and friendly. At my former school (even now) I don't really like to talk that much. My grades are pretty good (from B to A+). I played the flute at my old school and I was also in the school band. Oh, there's one thing I almost forgot to say. When I was small (2 to 3 years old), there was a small bicycle I had in the house. One time, I was riding it in the house. When I rode near the stairs, I suddenly rolled down the stairs with my bicycle!!! However, I was fine. I just got a few bruises and nothing else. I guess that's it for now, because this is homework and we just have to type 200 to 400 words. I think I might blog sometime later this week, so bye now!
