I am making a new one because i want it to be with my name, so there's the link and you can visit that one instead of this one.

Updates & Wedding Pics

Alright, I admit it's been a while. Here are some updates on what's been happening recently. Well, last Tuesday Vince and I, after picking up garbage all June, finally......*dramatic drum roll*.....


got our brand new $300 dollar bikes, woohoo!!! They're super nice, with bells, locks, helmets, etc. etc. (although helmets aren't super fun to wear, heh)


Here is a picture of my awesome new bike :D








And now for some sad news....Simon and Phoebe's family took leave of us on Tuesday (I remember the date because on that day they left, we got our bikes, and we had major room changes). Here are some pics of me with them.

Me and CarmelMe and Katrina

Me and Aime

And now for some photos of my Chris and Stephanie's (Te-te's) wedding. I know they're about a week late, but here they are. Enjoy!

And, of course, happy (belated) Canada Day! (haha, I'm such a failure, always posting about things late)
On Canada Day, all the Mandarins (Chinese buffets, but there is food besides Chinese food) are free as long as you can prove Canadian citizenship, so Paul, Terry, Stephan, Eman, Angel, Lizzy, and I went and stood in a big long line (I'm not kidding, there were AT LEAST 10,00 people in line when we got there. Well, after standing in line for two and a half hours, Paul and Terry decided that we'd been there for too long and so we turned around and went home. All that waiting for nothing, haha. Well, I just wanted to say that I'm proud to be Canadian although I don't even know the national anthem.

Vincent's (and my) Essays

Speaking of essays, he also had to write a comparison and contrast essay, and so he wrote one on the difference between wisdom and knowledge. He wrote it after he wrote the "Family Traditions" one, and in the middle of it we started being extremely foolish and we both wrote this:

Knowledge is knowing knowledge and being knowledgeable; wisdom is having wisdom and being wiser than a wiseman.

Finished my school at last!!!!!!

Last Monday (I know this post is a tad late, but so what?) I officially finished my school for the year, yeehaw! hehe Well, not exactly...I still have two more weeks of French, but that doesn't count, and I'm not being biased here, because if I could do it on my own, I would have been done a while ago, but I have to wait for the teacher, so it doesn't exactly count :)

Rainbow Pics

The other day after a rainstorm there was a big rainbow in the sky so I took some photos. Enjoy!

Rabbit in our yard

Yesterday morning during breakfast there was a rabbit in our backyard and as always I ran to get the camera:P and here are some pictures.
