on our way home lllolll we're trying to act like "going our own ways"
did it work? dunno. :)

:O

Oh my goodness.

Thanks to feed jit.

I saw someone coming to my blog by searching "Christine ho Bethune" on Google.

Oh my goodness.

Please don't stalk me.

vball,anyone?

I'm trying out for the Senior girls Volleyball team.

Wish me luck!

My biology mark is the same as my math mark. How pathetic.

Would you rather study in an Asian kiasu school like mine and get 70% in Math or study in a White school and get 90%?
It's almost like I'm studying in CHS . but different environment.Everything is too hard :(

I wish I could walk out of Bethune and never go back. The teachers are insane.

6 marks

Something awful happened to me today. (I know ,eh? Why do bad things keep happening to me?)
So This was what happened.
We have a folder that we keep records of the stuff we do in Gym class, like how many push ups and sits ups and burpees we did. And there's something called the 1 RM test. No, it's not 1 Malaysian ringgit test. It's 1 max repetition test. We lift a certain amount of weight for the stated machines so that the max we can do is 6-8 reps (it should be 1 rep(1 RM), but my gym teacher said 6-8. Clearly she can't follow instructions as well.) So we did the test around 2-3 weeks ago, and we have to divide the 1 RM by our weight to see how much % of our own weight we've lifted.
Since we haven't done the beep test(20 meter acceleration run) yet, I assume she won't mark our folders until we've completed everything.
Little did I know that I was soo wrong.
She suddenly told us that she marked our folders and we lost marks for anything not completed.

I did not do the calculations for 1RM at all. I wrote down the number but did not divide it by my weight. Uh-oh.

I mean, please, who brings calculators into the gym??
I plan to do it when we get a chance to bring it home or something. But noooo, she has to mark it all of a sudden. And it wasn't just me. There were a few others who didn't do it too.
So I lost 6 friggin' marks for not doing the calculations.
6 whole marks.
I was depending on gym class to raise my average. Now I have to turn to Math, my worst subject.
Gosh. So ironic.


One more thing. Cheer try outs were great !

E-x-c-i-t-e-d

I am sooooooooo excited for tomorrow!!!!
Whoooohooo cheer leading try outs! :)
For once in my life, a try out that I don't actually have to try :D Because I'm already in.

Awesssooommmeeeee xD

btw It happened again today. Sometimes I really wish I have the power to read minds. Not just when I'm seeing the person, but read minds whenever we're communicating. Emails, phone calls, anything like that. People can say one thing and mean the other. And I feel like they act like they don't hate me in front of me, but when they're talking to me without seeing me, it's like they are a completely different person. I can actually sense that in the way they write their e-mails, or the way they talk. Like when they reply your emails with only the answer to one topic, while other topics are ignored, either they forgot(which is highly unlikely) or they just hate it when you talk about that particular issue and they can choose to ignore it because it's email, or phone, when they pretend not to hear or cut off the line "accidently". When you see them in person, they have no choice but to answer. Really, I'm not trying to annoy anyone, piss anyone off or stalk anyone. If they don't like me, or if they don't wish to see me anymore, just tell me for god's sake. Or if they hate it when I talk about some particular stuff, just tell me something like " You don't have to worry about that", or "You're being paranoid", not ignoring it. I keep wanting to know more if you ignore me. I wish I had mind reading powers too, you know. Don't go and expect me to read your mood or thoughts. The people I'm referring to in this post are not going to read my blog, so really, this might be pointless but at least I know that someone out there knows how I'm feeling right now. You don't even have to read my mind. Everything in my mind now is out here.

always a reminder

Everyday, something will happen that reminds me about the truth.
I try to hide it, but it keeps popping up. I put up a happy face, try to fit in with anyone around that might talk to me.I just stand around them, pretending that I have friends, that I'm not a loner. No one sits with me in the bus unless there's no seats left.
They used to be so innocent and we used to be friends, but , hey, this is high school.
It's senior year now, everyone seemed to have changed. The innocent little freshmen that they used to be had become mature, make-up wearing, hand bag-carrying "adults", or shall I say, "b****".
But I didn't want to change. I stuck to being myself, I stuck to my old self, the me who never swears, the me who never joins the popular crowd, the me who's always quiet, etc.
And so I couldn't fit in because I didn't change along with them. My only friends are ,well, new friends whom I didn't know of until this year so I don't really know if they've changed, but at least they're not bitches. Still, they're just fair weather friends.
In Bio class today ,Ms. Langton asked me "Are anyone in this class your friends?"
I quickly think of someone's name, and just said "oh ,yeah, umm, Audrey."

My wishlist

I wish I had a team for Crosscountry so I can qualify for Ofsaa easier.
I wish I had the runner's genes
I wish I started gymnastics and running when I was younger
I wish I'm fast enough to qualify for Ofsaa
I wish I'm 14 now so I'd still be in midget category
I wish I'm taller
I wish I didn't need glasses
I wish I'm good at Math
I wish I'm belonged somewhere
I wish I didn't have a sister
I wish I could run faster
I wish I had a boyfriend( kidding!)
I wish I didn't do what I did that day
I wish I'll have an awesome sixteenth birthday
I wish they know how I feel
I wish I feel belonged when I go there.
I wish all my wishes come true. Well, at least the ones that can come true.

I love my new babies

I realized I need to update my blog with real posts. Not short, skanky and sad posts. It's the school dance today and I'm home blogging. I know,I know,what a geek.

Before anything, I just want to let you know that my birthday is coming up soon. :D
Mark your calendars! November 13th is the day.
Remember to wish me happy sweet sixteen or I'll be really miserable cuz my mom's gonna be in Malaysia and no one will be celebrating it with me. And it will end up like last year where I wrote a whole post about my miserable birthday. And trust me, you don't want it to happen.

Yesterday was my last Crosscountry competition with my school team. Because, sadly, I was not qualified for Ofsaa. I swear I'm gonna ace Metros Championships next year. I have no choice.
But all in all ,it was an awesome day. I got my new and fabulous spikes on Monday so that I could use it for the race. And it was the best race ever in those shoes. I usually hate hills, but I love them now. :) Even I was shocked when I said that.

my babies :D They're Adidas .

the jersey says "Bethune", my school name. I do not like to say this name. Whenever people ask me what school I'm from, and I tell them "Bethune"and they will usually ask, "What?"
and I will tell them again, "Bethune", and they will say, "Oh, never heard of that before"
Try pronouncing it yourself. Doesn't it sound like bafoon?
This picture is not photoshopped.

Anyways, I'm really excited for cheerleading :DDD My newly formed and fabulous cheer team.
Whoohooo cheer captain!

this will be my self portrait for my art assignment :D

Regionals

I forgive myself.
After the fall, the painful fall.
sudden blur in thought,
seeing the people rush by,
literally like a stampede,
but I didn't want to turn back.
I'd never forgive myself
if I did.
I jumped back up,
thrust with anger,
furiously mad,
so I sprinted hard to catch up.
but I landed in 12th place.
I qualified for Metros Championship
but I'm hurt.
I forgive myself.
It's ok.It's no biggie.
I'll try again next year.
I'll just try again next year.

belated Thanksgiving post

This was how I spent Thanksgiving :)

And if you ate Turkey, BOOoo I hate you. I ,on the other hand, I had Tofurkey( tofu-turkey)
It's much better, and much tastier, and most of all, I'm not eating a piece of dead body.

yum.

organic pumpkin pie :)

This will be my blog for today :)

you know you love me,

?

I'm thinking about what I should write now.

I have tons of pics in my camera but I'm too lazy to upload them now. Anyways..this is a picture of me after the finish line. Yes, I look very exhausted. One of them I didn't upload cuz I look so pale it was scary. xP


I went to Live organic Food bar last Friday with the bunch of runners from Toronto Vegetarian Association (the team that I was raising funds for) and it was super awesome! Unfortunately I forgot my camera.maybe I'll upload them later, when they send me the pictures.
They gave us free "I heart TVA"t shirts and I got free raw dessert for getting 2nd in my age group xD the people are so nice :)

pictures from Sunday (and yesterday)

I promised to post these pictures, so here they are :)

Scotiabank "Mascot" lol

a random car covered by grass. It was to promote a health drink xD

I have no idea why I took this

See the cute little girl on his dad's head ? xD

:)

As always, Kenyans and Ethiopians dominated

I like this bib :) It has my name on it lol

and this is a beautiful trophy I got from soccer season in summer :)
Isn't it soo pretty? :D

Btw, today in chem class we had a free period to do our review for Friday's test, and Mr Ishiguru came in and was talking to Mr Lee(my chem teacher) and I heard them talking about who they know and don't know in class, and I heard my name so then I looked up, and Mr Lee said, "You're known as the runner girl" ! And then I smiled xD dunno what to say mah. I wondered, since I'm soooo quiet all the time , I'd most likely be invisible in school if not for running. Pple who don't know me know me because I run. Even the janitor knows me.Because I'm always in the hallways stretching after my run haha...(and also because I run in school in winter. We open all doors and it makes a little loop, from B wing downstairs to upstairs to A wing upstairs and downstairs, and back to B wing. repeat.)

I sometimes wonder how I got so into running. When I was in Malaysia, I hated it. Well, not terribly, but still. I did not hate it a lot but I certainly did not like it(except for short little sprints)
Everything started in Form 1, actually. I ran 1500m for the PJPK fitness test. And I didn't stop! (in std 6 I was tired and stopped all the time ) Then I realized, "hey, I can run!" . So then 8 months later I came to Canada (=( ) and we had to run to 3 songs in gym class(which is about 10 minutes) and that got me started running. We did suicide runs(back and forth, touch wall,repeat) ,too.
And then I joined crosscountry in Grade 9. That was when it all really started. I went to my first ever competition. And then it got rolling from there. And I end up here today. And the journey has just begun. :)

I'm happppyyyyy now

I ran the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront 5k yesterday and it was aaawwweeesommeeeeee

Guess what place I got? (let's not compare me to the males, ok?)

I got 2nd in my age group!!! ( sadly they only have age group prizes for the half and full marathon)
&& 19th out of two thousand something females!

I know there's lots of recreational runners, but still!! That's like, a great accomplishment for me!!!!!
I couldn't be happier! (no wait, getting into OFSAA in Crosscountry and Track would be my happiest day in my life :D)

I need to recharge my camera, so here are a bit of pictures ;)

I wish I had an award like that .But thats just for the picture

dirty book

This is the MOST PERVERTED book I've ever read in my whole entire life.
My advice: please don't read it.

meet

I had a Xcountry meet yesterday. But i have no pictures (:( ) My coach has it, so maybe I'll upload later. But overall it was quite fun. The race wasn't too hard ,which is good. I have another 5k race coming up this Sunday, it's part of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon,half Marathon and 5k event :)


Will have pics tmr :D


As im in a race
I try to keep a fast but steady pace

Running around that track
Trying to pass people behind there back

Hearing my coaches yelling and cheering
Putting my mind on winning and finishing

Im on my last lap
Passing everyone in a blast

I past the finish line
First place is all mine

credits to :)

Now comes the time

Now Comes the Time

Now comes the time when the tough have to get even tougher.
Now comes the time when there really is no "I" in TEAM.
Now comes the time when we really are only as strong as our weakest member.
Now comes the time when effort becomes determination; practice becomes performance.
Now comes the time when we just go for it, just do it, just suck it up and win.
Now comes the time when we forget our back hurts, our head hurts, our stomach hurts, our ankle hurts, we had a bad day, we're sore, we're tired, we're frustrated, we're stressed.
Now there are no more tears, because a team needs you to be focused.
Now there is no me, just me inside the team.
Now I try my hardest, strive for my best,
Now we realize that this is the test.
What will separate us and make us rise above,
Is that you will remember I am not one, I am twelve.
Now I will consider that 40 points of our score is my face, my expression, my jumps, my extra, my more.
Now I'll try even harder, push my jumps even higher.
Now I'll have no fear when I need to tumble near.
Now I'll see the big picture, 3 minutes not a second more and
Now I'll do my very best to give US the perfect score.

TVA
