My 2 cents

Haven't been posting for a few days... This past weekend I went up to Vancouver and Richmond again. Same stuff, eat, shop, eat more, shop more. Oh, this time there was this night market thing in the middle of a parking lot of a mall. It was pretty cool, it had a lot of cheap stuff (ie: cd's, movies, glow pens, etc) a lot of stuff you wouldn't normally get because you don't use them all the time. The reason they were really cheap tho, was because they were copies and like blackmarket =X I believe. Like the cd's would be copied from originals and everything is just "cheap". Think what you may about those goods, but I thought walking in the street market was quite fun. There were a lot of people and carnival game type things. Next time hopefully, we can take a road trip up there and go to one. =) Aside from that, each summer day seems to pass slower, but summer itself seems to go by too fast. I hope I can enjoy this last month of it... Anyway, I'm happy because my birthday is tommorrow!!! Everyone rejoice, I'm finally 17 like eveyone else... Yes. Time to bed.

Yup, being a little kid is good, but trying to instruct one is tough... If you didn't know, I teach this 11yr old girl tennis. I think she's learning at a fair pace. I would hope fast, but we can't have everything in life, right? Personally, I think kids who have siblings grow up to be more "people" people. Let me elaborate, as kids with siblings grow, they learn somethings that a single child may not learn as quickly. Sharing, trust, and how to make deals with others are skills that all kids make with their siblings. Now don't go assuming that I don't like single children, I actually envy some of them for their independence and lack of another factor that may always be a deciding factor in their life. They don't have to go by what their older sibling does. They don't have to rely on their sibling for certain things, or even take care of anyone else. Yet, some of those may also teach a kid something. Anyway, I think I've started to run into a problem in my work. I think I've befriended this girl into thinking that she can manipulate my teaching and not listen to me. I'm stuck because I can't yell at her or force her to do what I need to do to do my job. This will take a little bit of brainstorming... Anyway, another summer day passed... still dull... still boring... this is the time I wish I still were in school... godforbid...

I wish I were still a little kid. Life is carefree and anything you choose is always a good choice. You don't have to worry about problems and have endless dreams. I'm thinkin about that because today I volunteered at my usual location, Children's, and the boy I was with seemed to make me feel a lot better and kind of open a new thought. I'm sure that most of you who have spent time with a little kid and played with them, will agree that when you watch them play, it brings a smile to your face. When you get the feeling that they're having fun, you magically become happier as well. I'm glad I have the job i have there. Now this brings up another thought. Why can't we do the same for every other adult or person who are the same age as us and feel the same. Maybe the same goes for taking care of seniors, some would think. Since some people think seniors and babies are almost the same. Anyway, I was just wondering why can't we treat everyone the same and try not to have the biases we have. You could play with any kid, and be happy about it. However if you were in a room with a random person, the situation is different. Along my train of thought, I also came across a possible answer. This is it; when we are older, we tend to want to be dominant to those around you. That answer actually makes a lot of sense. Yet, I think the world would be a better place if we would try to accept and help each other. On a lighter note, I think I'm gaining a lot more weight this summer cuz I've sittin on my ass to much these past few weeks... I can't wait til I get my license though, with that I could probably meet people to go walking persay at a park or go play tennis or other team sports. Time to jet, I'm off.

Wow, this is actually my first "webpage". I've used many other programs and forms before, but I never really got to finishing them or posting them on the net. I guess I got a little frustrated with the long process and wanted something simple. This is alright I suppose, but don't fret, I will eventually fix a personal webpage. ;) This summer has been QUITE BORING!!!!!!!!!!! Its almost unimaginable how long I've endured already. I guess a lot of it went to sitting in front of the computer, watching old chinese movies (still good sometimes), and sleeping. Everything else has barely taken up my time. A lot of my boredom is also because of my lack of a driver's license and car. Well even before that, my parents seem to just like to keep me home for god-knows why. Hopefully I will be able to get my license soon though. This week is a chance at it, I hope... If anyone wants to go play tennis or basketball, please give me a call because I really need to get out of here, and that's the only reasonable reason for leaving my house more than once a week. =******* O well, I shall talk to you all later because I have things I should not be procrastinating. (ie: Kev's b-day present...@_@)
