New Year's is closing in on us. I figured that maybe I should write down my resolutions like I do every year, but I never check to see whether I have accomplished any of them or not.

Manage my time. I seem to not have enough time for myself. I seem to not be able to organise my time well enough to be at peace with myself, and my stress level increases every time I get near a deadline or when something adds up to my to-do list.
Reduce my stress. I always seem to be stressed. Actually, no, I take that back. I am stressed. I am going to care for my body and for my mental health. My stress is killing me.
Eat healthy. I already eat what is necessary, but there are times I let myself slip away. I will try to do better.
Do more exercice. I used to be more active before. Again, I let myself slip. I used to do badminton, rock-climbing, whatever happened to me?
Be more independant. I hate being dependant to someone. I am considered somewhat independant at a certain extent, but I fall in love easily and and I attach myself dearly to someone. I take time to fall out of love. It hurts a lot to get my heart ripped in a million pieces by the same person over and over again. I'm sick of it. I was sick of it, which is why I want to be stronger emotionally.
Get a new job. My current job, like everybody knows, is killing me socially, psychologically, mentally, emotionally and in every harmful way. It's unhealthy. The people there, they're hurting me. I can't take that job anymore. It's too much stress.
Save money. I have to stop my spending spree. I usually don't spend that much but the last few months, I've been spending and spending. I've been paying this and that for people's birthdays and then there was Christmas, and I've spent so much on christmas gifts. Then there was bxing day, and the list goes on. I have to save money so I can get out of this place, and go travel. I want to go see the world.
Lose the attitude. I've improved in this aspect. I've lost some of my attitude, and I've become less grumpy. My friends from high school aren't used to it and they all said they miss the old mean TL. What should I do? I can't keep my temper forever.
Learn something new. I want to expand my horizons. I want to learn something new whether it be a new language, or improve something I have already learned.
Maintain a diary or something that will help me remember about my life. I have an awful memory in terms of past events or dates, and things like these. For some odd reason, I have an amazing ability to remember people's names, or page numbers and other unecessary things.


today, Matt and Laine are coming over. Schedule is at 12, Matt comes over and drives me to Maxi and we buy fruits and chocolate. Then, at 1, Laine comes. We have chocolate fondue, then we watch movies. :)

I miss you already, dear. You and your family have been so lovely to us over the weekend. I'm so glad and grateful that you welcomed us into your home for christmas. :) You were so nice and I love catching up with you. We've been friends since we were kids. I can't recall any bad things that happened, but I know that it wasn't always sunshine and bright smiles all the time. That doesn't matter because you mean a lot to me and I cherish our friendship too much to let any of those negative feelings affect it. (Which is why I can't recall anything, but I remember the good times.)


VEE, I love you so much! You are an amazing friend. You are so generous, you are silly, you are so bright, you are funny, you are so wonderful and you have an amazing personality. You are so beautiful. You brighten up a whole room with your smile and your jokes... seriously Vee, I really enjoyed my time in Toronto. I'm so happy that I can't even express this in words.


I will come back in spring to visit you.

BOXING DAY:
Shopping was crazy. We went to Vaughn Mills. It was crazy. I've never seen people so pissed and so bitchy. Wow. There were so many people and there was a huge line-up! I spent so much over here. We ate a sausage on a bun! It was so good~! :) After shopping, we went back home. We watched Hancock, Night at the museum, Night at the museum 2, and Ice age. I went to Andrew's house with my parents when Vee and my brother were watching NATM2. :( I can't believe I missed that! Anyways, I got to see how Andrew's family was doing. We ate a flan de caramel that his sister made. :D It was really fun! They had this big aquarium and they had a lot of corals. They also had a little pet shrimp. It's soooo freakyy! It was bright red with little white spots! It's 'cute', but... it's still a shrimp, and that's weird. :P I like the snail though! It kept on opening its mouth. So cute and mushy! :D Anyways, I went back to Vee's house, and I saw the end of Night at the Museum 2. :( That totally ruined it for me. LOL. Then, we watched Ice Age! It's so funnyyy! :D I love that movie! It's so funny! :) Then, we slept hella late. Again. :T


27TH:
We went to eat at a Cha Chaang Teng. I LOVE THE MINCED MEAT CONGEE! YUMMYY! Then, Vee's mom drove us over to Jess' bf's place. We stayed there till 4, playing Wii! It was so cool! I never tried that. AHAHAHA. Then we went to Fairview to shop. I spent more money there. :( I bought 47$ worth of lotion at Bath&Body. LOL. I gave two lotions to Jess. :) Then, we went to Aritzia, and I bought a hoodie! YAY! I went back to their house, and they all went out to dinner. My family had plans with Andrew's family. So we went out to eat at Silver Star. After dinner, we went grocery shopping. :) We bought foood! Then, we went back home, and I was on the computer for like 30minutes before I had to give it to my brother. Then, he played with L. I went to take a shower, and Vee kept me company by talking to me, and we were like ranting. ahhahaha. :) We watched Ghosts of girlfriends' past after. We had hot chocolate and we ate almond cookies! My brother and i got these butter cream cones. They're so crispy and flaky! SOOO GOOOD!



28th:
My brother and I woke up at 9:30. We got ready and we went to eat at around 12. We left at 1. It was a sad good bye. :( sniffles. The car ride was surprisingly long. Yeah. Very long. We got home at 7:30. By 4, I started to get carsick. I was REALLY nauseous. I had to open the window to be able to breathe. I didn't understand how my family was able to breathe! The car was so.. stuffy and hot. OMG! It was terrible. So for the three last hours, I was breathing fresh cold air from outside. It felt so good, but my cheeks were so rosy from the cold. We went to PFK so that we'd buy our supper there. Mommy was too lazy to cook. HAHAHAHA :D Then, I kind of cleaned up my room. It's so messy. :( Mai is coming over tomorrow, so I gotta make my room less messy. I talked on msn with Andrew. He's so funny. LOL. He challenged me to do this typing test. i got 56 words per minute and 90% accuracy. He got 64 words per minute and 98% accuracy. He told me he had to PUSH to get that 64WPM. I kind of screwed up a lot of the punctuation and being the perfectionnist I am, I kept on going back and fixing the commas and periods. :( Anyways, he left because his parents are checking on him. Oh wells. Now, I'm freaking ass tired but I want to paint.

I'm currently working on a project. I'm using 5 canvases and I'm making a gradient of colours. Then, I'm going to draw the silhouette of a tree. :)

Christmas day*

@ 5:22PM

:)

CHRISTMAS IS HERE! and guess what? I spent it in a car heading for Toronto. ;) and of course, Since it WAS christmas, everything was closed, except for this service station halfway to Trt, just so we'd be able to pee and fill the gas. Then, we got there, and we went to PMALL. Vee's mom got Vee and i pashminas. Hers is teal and purple. Mine is yellow and blue. It's checkered! It's so freaking cool! We went to eat at the Fisherman's village, or something like that. :) Then, I slept really late. :(

I'm so tired. This morning, I woke up with Mai next to me. She was still asleep when I got up to go get my passport done. She talked to me in the middle of the night, and I don't really recall anything, just itsy bits and pieces. Anyways, I couldn't get my passport done, because I forgot my license at home. GRRR! Mai and I just fooled around. :) She then left in the afternoon. I took a nap till it was time to go out and eat supper. We went to this Chinese restaurent. It wasn't so bad, but let's say that today's meal wasn't their greatest. I have to admit, they were pretty busy. It IS Christmas Eve. I went back home and I packed my bags. I'm leaving for Toronto tomorrow morning. :) I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE VEE AND JESS!

C'est mon projet de fin de session. Le thème était la Chine. Tous les autres élèves ont montrés des éléments traditionels de ce pays, comme la couleur rouge et jaune, les dragons, les lanternes, etc. Alors que moi, j'ai décidé de montrer la Chine en tant qu'un individu et non unifiée comme elle est montrée, et qu'elle n'est pas aussi 'puissante', disons. J'ai voulu montrer la fragilité, le côte délicat et fin de ce pays. Donc, j'ai représenté une fille chinoise en toute sa vulnérabilité, des bamboos à l'horizontal, contrairement à ce que l'on voit d'habitude. Les bamboos sont souvent illustrés verticalement pour montrer sa puissance, sa hauteur, mais je l'ai mis à l'horizontal. J'ai dessiné une partie de la silhouette d'un cerisier avec ses pétales en rouge pour donner un effet minimaliste, simple et fin. J'ai fait la même chose pour les baguettes pour représenter nos besoins. J'ai relié cette toile à celle de l'arbre en appliquant le même style; un fond pale neutre, une silhouette noire, et l'utilisation de la couleur pour les fleurs. En tout cas, je l'ai nommé Fragilité, et présentement, cet ensemble est mis en valeur dans mon salon. :)

Laurianne's farewell dinner

@ 4:05PM

This past weekend was full of laughter. Mai came over to my house. Gosh i love her. She stayed over the whole weekend, and we just fooled around silly. My mother even said ''Since when did we have another daughter?'' I guess that shows how much time Mai spends over at my place. :)

Today was .... I am absolutely speechless. Only one word can describe my day. It was AMAZING! first off, i woke up with my best friend laying beside me. And man, I have to say she was exhausted because she snored all night. hahahaha. Then, we fooled around, rolled around, laughed a bit, and we got our things and left. We took the bus at around 2. I got to school at around 3ish. I met up with Marie-Claude and we talked. I'm really going to miss her. She's so funny. :D


Class wasn't so bad. I can't believe it's all ending. The term passed by so quickly. I can't believe it. For my paintings, I used 5 canvases, and the theme was China. I named my piece Fragilité.

After class, we went to dinner at Chez Paesano on Saint-Denis street. It's because Laurianne is leaving for Africa on friday, and she will be back on the 6th of January. I took a Spaghetti du Papa. It was delicious. OMG! SO GOOOOOOOD! :D Just thinking about it makes me all giddy. Although it was so filling, I think all our stomachs were about to burst. After the dinner, we went all the way down to Old Port and walked around. we fooled around so much. I remember we were singing I've just seen a face out loud, screaming, running, skipping, shouting, laughing, and we were just plain mental. Honestly, I'd rather be freaking mental than sane, because I feel so much more free this way. I think that we should be afraid of being ridiculous. I mean, feeling young and free, and being able to be ridiculous among your friends is something i hold dear, because how long will we be able to do this? We would have to grow up eventually, so I might as well take advantage of my youth now, and act like an idiot (with a responsible mind, of course). It was cold outside, but I guess we were enjoying ourselves so much that the weather didn't bother us anymore. Afterwards, we went back to the metro, and we got a hot chocolate at good ol' Timmy's. It was delish after all that crazy fun. I'm home and now and honestly, I feel like I will have a good night sleep tonight. :D I'm going to edit this post later and add the pictures of today's outing. I'm currently uploading pictures that have been left aside in my laptop for months onto FB now. My friends have been nagging me since forever, so i would post them. Like i said, laziness gets the best of me. HAHAHA, but I'm doing it now. Tralalalala.




I'm listening to Come be my lady by Big Bang. They're one of my favorite bands! :)

My art is instinctive, expressive and reflective of my soul. It feels for me, it thinks for me, it moves for me, it speaks for me. I paint to influence, to move, to feel and to express my feelings.

The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech.*Vincent van Gogh

The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.*Vincent can Gogh

My name is Sylvia. I'm 19 years old. I go where my hearts leads me to, and at this moment, it's beating for arts. It allows me to learn, to see, to explore, to discover things about the world, and about me. I wish to live my life well and to be able to express my voice in all possible forms. more?
