Many of things have changed since then...

So I haven't posted a blog since November and just now I read through my older posts and seeing how confused and scared I was about the future. Things have changed since then and I am content. Last week I completed my Internship for college  downtown Toronto. It was sad to leave there but it was such a great experience. Doing this internship has really helped me to realize what I love to do. The first four weeks of being there I coded website templates that were already designed using HTML & CSS. I learned so much more of HTML & CSS and got comfortable with doing it. Before that I was struggling with all code and was getting worried that this field isn't for me but after doing four weeks of straight coding I feel confident I can do it now. It's such a relief to be better at it and now I know I can design and code websites. I also had a chance to design a school template and code it and the boss really liked my design, so that was a bonus for me. Another thing I did was design a logo for the company so that felt good inside to have done an actually logo for something that exists. This internship has also made me realize that I love designing and can spend hours putting together a logo or a website design or a poster. I know where I belong in this field. The 7 weeks of being at my internship went by really fast but now I am back at school and end of April I will be graduating from my two year college program. Hard to believe it has gone so fast and scary to finally be leashed out in the reality. Where summer jobs at a Deli shouldn't be where I am working after graduating instead I should be somewhere in my field. Finding a job in this field is what frightens me the most. Real and serious interviews where Employer's are looking for skills, talent, and a personality that will work well with the team. So many things to encounter and lots of competition. But I am confident I will find my way in this world by finding a job I love, a home for myself and doing all things I always dreamed of doing.

The New Device I Want

 

So everyone should know about the new iPhone 4 that was released in July 2010 in Canada. If you don't know about it then you must not leave your house. Apple has been coming out with new gadgets like this iPhone, iPad and the new Nano. They are new devices that are worldwide and people love and enjoy them. With the new App store with millions of apps on there, there is no stop to having fun. Its like a mini computer and phone all in the palm of your hands. You can read your favorite book, you can skype with your friend in the States, you can play games while on the train, you can listen to your favorite music, you can watch a movie and you can even check your emails. Who wouldn't want a gadget that has everything you need. No more having a cell phone, iTouch, book, laptop all separate in your bag. Its all in one and you can take it everywhere with you. This will be my next big purchase as soon as I am not a starving student anymore.  Can't wait :)

Philip Christopher Langman

So this guy happens to be my most amazing boyfriend, Philip Christopher Langman. We have been through a lot of good times, bad times, sad times, awesome times and FANTASTIC times. We met in Gr.12 in High School in Math Class. Became friends and during the Christmas Break that year something magical happened and we became boyfriend and girlfriend on January 7th, 2008. So this January we will have been together for 3 years. It's hard to believe but it's true. This guy is a big part of my life and he makes me so happy. I couldn't ask for a better person to be in love with.

GO LEAFS GO

Toronto Maple Leafs top of the League

So this picture just shows that leafs can make it to the top of the league. So there could be a good chance that they can finally make it to playoffs or even better win the Stanley Cup :) That would make my year! I know there is a lot of people who dislike the leafs now or make fun of me for it but I don't care. I am a fan that won't back down! They are 11th on the list now but its only the beginning!!

That One Place, That One Memory

Do you ever want that one place that you can escape to and for once you can feel at peace with no worries, problems and remember who you really are? I have yet to find that peaceful place I can visit to whenever I feel stressed or down but I have visited some places that have made me feel exactly that. For an example, Rest Bay, Porthcawl, South Wales. A seaside my family go to at least once when we visit. It's not a trip to Wales if we haven't been to that particular beach. When we drive up and I begin to see the rocks that remind me of climbing on when I was a child trying to find interesting sea creatures that were left behind in the tide or when I would smell the sea air or see those waves that reminded me of the fun days swimming there,  I feel complete. It's weird how one beach can make me feel that way but at this beach there is so much history in my family for generations. My mom had holidays there when she was a child and my Nana also did and so on. I remember all those day trips with the family there were we set up our umbrella, beach chairs, blankets beside a area with a a big puddle of left over water when the tide went out, and awesome rock area to climb. Oh being a kid again, when you can spend hours playing in your own imagination.When I walk along the water line with my shoes sinking in the sand and watching the waves just lets me think all my problems away. No city noises or crowds of people just the sound of the waves and the wind blowing. This kind of moment I call peaceful. Just wish you can have more of those peaceful moments in life.  This is year I also enjoyed taking pictures and found enjoyment. I am not a professional photographer or have a fancy expensive camera but I can see my pictures being beautiful. Rest Bay, Porthcawl, South Wales is on my top ten lists of peaceful places to visit. 

I also remember this one moment where I met a girl. I was really young so it surprises me I still remember that one moment. It's just a flash of it but every time I go there I am reminded of that mement. I tell that story every time I visit there whoever is with me. I wonder if anyone has noticed I mention it every time or its just not as interesting to them as it is to me so they forget. But I will never forget it. The tide was in and when the tide was fully in, there was no sand to walk on so you stand on some rocks and watch the waves. I remember standing on this one rock and I was throwing in pebbles into the water when this girl came up beside me. I remember her telling me her name was Jenna and we became best friends instantly. You know when you are young and you could make best friends in a second with meeting them. It was one of those moments. The last thing I can see in that flash of memory is us throwing pebbles into the sea. Why does that moment make me smile every time I visit there and it reminds me of it? I really don't know but it's a memory that I know that will always make me smile no matter what. It must of been special to be a memory that I haven't forgotten about and never will.
