Juste pour l’fun

Let’s do this Johari Window thingy again.
I want to know how you’d describe me.

On a Day Like Today

Free is all you gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
Sometimes ya wanna run away
But ya never know what might be comin’ round your way ya
Ya ya

On a day like today
The whole world could change
The sun’s gonna shine
Shine thru the rain
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Somewhere – there’s a place for you
I know that you believe it too
Sometimes if you wanna get away
All ya gotta know is what we got is here to stay
All the way

On a day like today – the whole world could change
The sun’s gonna shine – shine thru the rain
On a day like today – no one complains
Free to be pure – free to be sane
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Free is all we gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
But ya never know what might be comin’ for you and me ya
It’s gonna be

On a day like today…

God is Great… God is Good

Without entering into many details, this has been one of the best days I’ve had since I came back to Canada. It wasn’t just a beautiful, sunny and warm day, but one that brought wonderful things for my future. I never lost my faith in God, even when things seemed to be really bad, and He keeps on showing me that he’s carrying me on his arms because He knows I need it. I’m glad I have God in my life… So glad!

Six months later…

October 18th, 2005 – I was taking a plane to come back to Canada. Half my heart with my family, the other half wanting to be here. Scared shitless, nothing in my hands, a bag full of clothes and my soul full of hopes. It wasn’t easy, I felt like giving up many times during the first weeks. New place, new people, all alone, didn’t know what I was going to do. I just knew I wanted to be here and learn to make a life of my own. Got accepted in school, got a scholarship, closed my eyes, wished with all my heart and started studying again.

Six months later: I’m finishing college, I have new people in my life I know are sincere, I’m not scared shitless anymore and I feel like I’m achieving something. Heart’s still broken, but much better than a year ago when I was about to drop my basket. I miss my family like I never imagined I would and there’s an uncertainty about when I’m going to see them again, so that’s not fun, but I’m being strong. I still feel like giving up sometimes, but that’s not gonna happen. I’ve made it this far, summer is coming, lots of work and fun planned and my life will go on because it only gets better.

A very good friend of mine tells me I’m one of the strongest people he’s ever met. I don’t feel that strong sometimes when all I can do is stay inside my room and cry because I feel lonely. But I realize I’m strong… Much stronger than I give myself credit for. Six months already! Where did time go?

Et il fait tellement beau aujourd’hui ! :) Happy six months, Bea!

O U C H !

Bag of carrots: $2.99
Veggie shredder: $5.00
Cutting board: $8.00
Slicing your finger along with the carrot: PRICELESS.

For everything else, there are people who actually pay attention to what they’re doing in the kitchen. I want my mommy, and a band-aid. *Sobs*
