Are we alone?

So, I feel like being slightly philosophical today, or atleast what I consider philosophical. Really, I just want to talk about this because me and my friend had a short conversation about it the other day and I started to wonder. Also, I really like to thoroughly explain myself because I feel like it's extremely important to understand someone's point of view as much as possible, even if you completely disagree with them.

Anyways, what we were talking about is whether there is a reason behind everything or not. It's a pretty simple question, and everybody either thinks one way or another. I think most people believe that there is a reason behind everything, but I'm part of the group that thinks there's not a supernatural reason behind everything and that we, as human beings, are what cause everything to happen. There's a reaon for everything that happens, and in my opinion all the reasons are Earthly and can be explained without involving supernatural forces.

Miracles, deaths, and stuff like that it's all just a result of life. Miracles are exceptions to the rules and they always happen, you have to consider that there's also the other end of the scale where people aren't as lucky and that's why these instances are called miracles. It's just a matter of situation and I suppose luck. Then there's death. I don't think that everybody dies for a reason, and it's foolish to believe that when someone goes it's "their time". What about little babies who die everyday. There are people of every age who die everyday and sometimes it's natural causes and sometimes they're killed, but either way it's something that can be explained that causes them to perish, not fate or anything like that. Also, if you think about it, it will never really be anybody's "time" to go. Nobody will ever finish everything they want to do.

I also think that so many people choose to believe that something happens for a reaon is because it kind of makes life easier. It gives life a purpose, and it sort of lifts off some of our responsibility because there's some external force controlling our life for us. My way of thought is kind of scary. I'm pretty much saying that we're on this world alone and have to fend for ourselves. Of course we have family and friends, but we're left to face all the decision in our life and if we make a mistake it's all on us.

I don't know if I completely got across what I wanted to say, but this is just my opinion, and everybody is entitled to their own. I'm not saying that people who believe that everything happens for a reason are wrong, for all I know they could be right. I'm just saying this is what I choose to believe in.

So, comments?

Not ready.

Sometimes I wish I could just tell everyone the truth about what's going on, but I'm not nearly strong enough to do that. I can't deal with the consequences of that. Sometimes I think it would make things easier, I wouldn't feel like I'm hiding something from my friends, but they don't need to know. I'm pretty sure they don't want to know. There are very few people that know and there's no way I can tell anybody else. I love them and they're great, but I don't think they're ready to hear it, or atleast I'm not ready to tell them.
I don't know what the point of writing this post was. I just needed to say it somewhere I guess.
And expect a longer post sometime soon. I hope. I'd really like to write a blog sometime soon.

Chachingg.

First day and I already have homework, and not just a little, it's decent amount. Well it's not really a whole, lot it just seems like it's a lot cause I'm tired and don't wanna do it and I'm still slightly sick. I have first period spare, which I didn't really want, but whatever I'll deal with it. English and Bio seem like they're gonna be super hard this year. Indivuals and Families in a Diverse Society seems interesting, I don't really like some of the people in my class, but hopefully they're slightly more mature this year. *crosses fingers*
And second semester is gonna kill me for sure. Chemistry, Calculus and Vectors, and Physics all before lunch. And then French.

However I am still determined to make sure grade 12 is the BEST year ever. :)

School Tomorrow!

^ That is pretty awesome. Most people may not think so, but I'm super excited, I know it's gonna be stressful, emotional year, but I'm totally ready for my final year of high school and everything that lays beyond it. Well maybe not completely ready, but I'm excited for it. Of course there are nerves and fear there as well, but for some reason the excitement is overpowering everything else.

Yesterday I was looking at the school website and a friend pointed out they updated the calendar so I checked it out. I don't think I realized I was gonna be a senior until then. Of course I knew, but now it's little bit more real. I'm gonna be the one who they're selling the class rings to, I'm the one going for grad photos, I'm the one applying for university. Seeing all the dates for this stuff on the calendar and realizing I'm the one that this stuff is gonna happen to was the first time it really seemed real to me. There's gonna be a whole lot of lasts and a whole lot of first, it's gonna be a wonderful new adventure and I can't wait for it.

So that's all for now, I may go into detail later or I might not, we'll see. :P

Cousin's Wedding

OMGSH TWO POSTS IN ONE NIGHT!!!
Yes, I have some time, well not really, but I got started and now I wanna finish. This blog will most likely only be about my cousin's wedding, then the next about books I've read/am reading and then possibly I'll finally discuss that speech by David Foster Wallace. :P

But my cousin's wedding was awesome. She's beautiful to begin with and she looked absolutely gorgeous at her wedding. Well for a week beforehand I was at her house almost everyday to help decorate and it looked awesome when we were finished. :)

It all started with the mehndi, which is when the bride and the female friends and relatives of the bride get henna applied. The bride and the most henna and much more beautiful design, the others just get their hands done whereas the bride has hands, legs, and arms done. The lady we had doing it was pretty good, but one thing I noticed is that it faded pretty fast.

The next day was the ladies sangeet and maiyan, there are some traditional stuff, and a party. It was pretty fun, and everyone left at a decent hour cause the wedding was the next morning. We got home late and then I had to wash and dry my hair before bed cause we were going over early the next morning to get hair and make-up done. I think I got 2 and a half hours of sleep that night. >.<

My cousin looked amazing in her wedding lengha and jewellery and make-up, I was about to start crying the moment I saw her. I was a bridesmaid along with her 2 best friends. The wedding was great, except the groom started to go the wrong way for the first round they're supposed to make. :P
There were a few tears during the wedding and there were definetely tears when she was sent off from her house.
They had a pretty good photographer who took pictures before and after the wedding. Of course he was taking pictures during the wedding too, but the before and after we were posing. :P
And when we send her away it's tradition for the girls in the house to make it as difficult for the guy as possible, and he's also sposed to pay us to be let in the house we got $500 total and i think there were about 8 girls, so you can do the math. :P
Instead of cutting the ribbon, like they were sposed to, they just charged in cause they had like 50 guys with them, but we got them with silly string.
Also my cousin ended up feeding him soap that looked like sweets and then sweets that had been rolled in salt. Somehow they found leftover silly string and got her with it, but it was worth it to see him eat soap. :P

The next day was the reception and she looked gorgeous again, also the hall was gorgeous, everything was beautiful and planned greatly and overall it was just amazingg.

I sposed that's all I shall say for now, if I think of anything else I'll update :P

Long time no blog.

Sorry about that, it really has been a long time. I kept meaning to write a blog but never got around to it 'cause I've been so busy. As soon as school ended summer co-op started and I became really busy with that, but that's over now and I ended up with an 86% in that course, so yeah.



Omg, we're in the middle of the second thunder storm today. This makes me happy; I love storms, as long as I'm inside that is.



This summer has been pretty good so far. Canada Day was pretty awesome. Went to ching as usual, but what was different this year? Karl Wolf was performing. Why was he performing in Brampton? And for free? I have no idea. All I know is that he was pretty awesome. Now I wasn't even that big of a fan before I went and saw him live. I liked the song Africa and all that, but I didn't really LOVE it and I thought his video was stupid just a girl in a bikini what a great idea, but after seeing him live I really liked him. He's a great peformer. The fireworks this year were the best that I can remeber seeing as well, so it was a pretty good day. ^^



And then there was Summer Rush. Which was AMAZING. I had sooo much fun. I absolutely LOVE Marianas Trench. All the other performers were great as well. Got rained on 3-4 times, was freezing, and was pretty far from the stage, but still managed to have an awesome time. There's something about being part of that crowd and just letting go and giving yourself up to the music that's so magical.

Kay so I wrote this a while ago and then for some reason never came back to it, whoops :P

But yeah so after summer rush there was also another performance and ching park by Danny Fernandes and that was AMAZING. We were pretty close and he had such an awesome performance. There was a lot of pushing though, oh well.

Last week my cousin got married, but that shall be a blog all it's own.
Today however I went to see Inglorious Basterds and it was awesome! I loved it, 2 of the people I went with didn't, but they're just wierd. :P

And I sposed that's all for this blog, another one soon about the wedding. ^^

Until next time.

Ps. School in 3/4 days! (depends how you count :P)

Last Day!
