Exams!


Ah, here comes the FINAL stress of the year.
Exam time!
So thinking Acting Academy wouldn't be as hard, it turned out to be!
The exam is really hectic & its really a go go go.
Gotta move fast, lots of typing, & thinking.
A lot of planning, but its also a different exam.
We're so used to the same typical "sit in class & write" exams, that this is just so different.
We actually do a lot of work to put an amazing show.
In Spanish, I have completed & handed in my slideshow.
It was a simple, yet interesting exam.
Overall, this last semester has been UNBELIEVABLE & I have learned a lot.
Thank you Mr. Tobon & Mrs. Thomas for making my last & final semester SO memorable.
It will never be forgotten.
Class of 2010!;)

Los Angeles


So I have to say, my dream has finally come true.
I have visited the place I have always only dreamed of going
It was amazing; every second of the day I spent there.
From the malls to the beach, it was just amazing.
The best part of the whole trip was going on the Ellen Studio.
I have always loved that show & to actually walk on the SAME stage as Ellen, was just a dream come true.
Despite the night I got sick, everything was just perfect.
I mean, I did have higher expectations for the weather, but honestly I shouldn't complain.
It was raining here! -- LA was amazing.
I can honestly say that L.A is my new home. I am planning on moving there the second I get a chance.
Its somewhere I would love to call home.
Its PERFECT; words can't describe how I felt while I was over there; I have never felt better in my life.
That was the first, but NEVER the last time I'll be back!

Summer 2010!


Hello Summer '10!
That time has finally come, beaches, tanning, shopping, & of course, no school!
I am definitly excited to sleep in this summer, & I can't wait to finally get my G2.
This summer my goal is to REALLY try something I would never ever think about trying.
Maybe Skydiving? Or Bungie Jumping? Maybe just doing something like taking Horseback riding lessons?
I really want to make this summer the most memorable summer ever!
Hopefully it will be super warm & sunny:)
from wonderland missions to sleepovers, I am hoping this summer will be the best yet!
Montreal maybe? Or maybe Cuba.
I am hoping to go on a week vacation somewhere this summer!
It would be amazing.
But regardless of what I do, I am just happy its summer.
Time to LIVE IT UP!
Summer 2010;


Final Moments...


So its finally the end.
Grade school has finally finished.
I am finally going to College; its scary just to even process that!
I have learned so much about myself these four years & I have changed a lot.
I am so much more mature than I was in grade 9.
Grade 12 was amazing, & I loved every second of it.
Acting Academy was definitly my highlight.
Mrs.Thomas really pushed us & taught us not just about a subject, but about ourselves.
I have never thought I could actually go for auditions & I never realized how many contacts there are here in Toronto.
It has always just been a fantasy to become an actress, but now I see that it doesn't have to be just a dream, it can really be reality & with the right contacts and the right attitude I can definitly reach my goals.
I am on my own from now on & if it wasn't for my amazing teachers & my parents guiding me all this way, I would not be who I am today.
I am so much more confident in myself than I was in grade 9, I really feel that I am ready to go to College & that there are so many amazing opportunities for me & that a new life for me has just begun.
I can't wait to start the beginning of something new.
Humber -- Here I come;)!

Change...


So many have asked "why did you go blonde?"
Simple.
I needed change.
I have been a brunette all my life & I just wanted to try something new.
I mean, that's what life is all about right?
Making mistakes, taking risks, trying new things?
So why do people always criticise?
Why do people bother with what you do?
you want a tattoo? You want a piercing?
So do it! -- You only live once, right?
Why not take that opportunity to do something you've always wanted to try.
If thats what people are telling us, & what we should be able to do,
if this is OUR life, why not?
I mean, I'm no rebel, but I just simply wanted to try something new.
It may not last forever, but why not play around?
So, I've decided to go blonde.
Its just a change, we all need that once in a while.
Its not too crazy, its not a bad change, its just different.
I mean, I decided I like it better than my brown hair, so why not?!
Why always question things? Sometimes its best just to try it.
So, I believe in change.
& for now, I will be a blonde!
Until next time... :)

Pretty Little Liars


Finally, after reading all 6 of the books, Pretty Little Liars is airing on tv!
Everytime I watch this season it makes me think of Los Angeles when we went to go in the Rosewood High School, it was just an amazing experience.
Overall, the books are BEYOND amazing & I can't wait to finish the very last one.
In regards to the shows though, they're really not that good.
Most of the actor's minus Aria look NOTHING like they do in the book.
Its such a disspointed because I have had such a different picture while reading the books.
Considering they're shows, and not movies, I was hoping they would really try and make it similar to the books, but unfourtunatly they're not at all. Certain scenes are so different and its just such a dissapointment because I was really looking forward to the shows.
I will continue to watch, but I am not impressed so far.
Overall, Aria is my favourite character, she is just amazing & if I could be casted as anyone it would definitly be her.
She is just amazing to play, & the girl they chose fits her perfectly (the only one that matches the book)
Well, I have learned something;
that the books are almost ALWAYS better than the shows or movies.
I will continue to read books first before I watch movies & tv shows, thats for sure!

SodaPopTour!


So last night was BEYOND incredible.
I won tickets from z103.5 to the SodaPop tour along with $100 gift certificate to Starbucks.
It was amazing. -- The concert was at the Hamilton Place & it featured Emily Osmet from Hannah Montana, The New Cities, Alyssa Ried, Jesse Labelle, WOW, & last but NEVER least, DANNY FERNANDES.
It was INCREDIBLE. -- I had a little cold, so I was trying to live it up, I was quiet most of the show, till Danny Fernandes appeared.
He honestly BLEW me away! -- it was AMAZING.
I COMPLETELY lost my voice after that performance.
I was screaming & crying so much, most of the younger kids didn't know who Danny was so they were ALL paying attention to me instead of him, it was INSANE. Haha.
He was wonderful & I CANNOT wait till his next concert on Wednesday;
I will DEFINITLY meet him:)

z1035


So I have been listening to this station for a few years now, & I can honestly say its definitly my favourite.
The announcers are so interactive & take their time out to reply & really get to know they're listeners.
To them, its not just a radio station, its thier life.
Whenever they have all ages events, I am always there, & I can honestly say they're so commited & so enthousiastic about what they do.
As an announcer, Tony Monaco is by far the best on the show.
He always replies to me & when I was applying for Radio broadcasting at humber, he gave me SO much imput & help.
I look up to him so much, and to me he is such an inspiration.
He has been working as an announcer since I was born, he is so experienced & has taught me so much I need to know about radio.
Without him I don't know if I would have been accepted to Humber; he has made such an impact to me & I am so thankful for all his help.
z1035 really plays today's hit music & its all the music I listen to.
From Hedley, BOB, & Danny Fernandes.
Its just amazing, & I love the contests as well.
I have won 3 times, & I will continue to.
I have won some amazing stuff, & I can't wait for more to come.
I definitly hope to work for this station in a few years!
Much love!(L)

Danny Fernandes


There is NO doubt that I had to blog about him.
I am definitly his number ONE fan; no one can compare.

I have LOVED him ever since his hit single. His brother is also SUCH a talented guy & he is so amazing.
I used to be Shawn's BIGGEST fan, & I'm still a huge fan,
but since Danny came out, I am
ADDICTED TO HIM.
I was the FIRST person to go out & BUY his CD; &I mean, who listens to CDs these days?
But, it's him; & he is worth absolutely ANYTHING.
Danny is AMAZING! &the ONLY CD I own is his.
I went OUT OF MY WAY to buy that CD & I adore it.
I just want him to know that his number ONE fan is out here,
& Yeah, I might not have changed my last name to "fernandes" on facebook, like the Justin Bieber lovers, but I know I'm his number one fan, and that I am REAL FAN & now I hope he does too.
Everytime his song comes on the radio, I TURN IT UP SO loud & its the only thing I hear and I sit there and BAWL my eyes out:); on z103.5 I'm ALWAYS requesting Danny & they ALL know how much I ADORE him.
He's honestly my FAVOURITE. & at Chingcousy park when he came to Brampton to perform, even though I heard he was having a rough day, he ROCKED the show.
I mean, I was the FIRST person there WAITING for him, JUST for him, on that RAINY day.
I was standing in the rain for over 6 hours for him, he is BEYOND incredible.
He brightens my day just by listening to his songs.
I'm reallllly hoping to meet him in person one day, but after BAWLING my eyes out & almost fainting when I saw him perform at Summer Rush & at Ching, I don't know if I'd be able to handle it;) But, it would be the best day of my life.
I loooove him SO much, he makes my LIFE, & I really hope that we'll be able to meet someday. Keep doing you're thing Danny, because you're GREAT at what you do, & don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
After he called me on May 28th, 2010 it was the best night EVER.
He was on Ustream & was calling some fans, I sent my number & he called me & told me he knew ALL about me.
I asked him how? -- While BAWLING my eyes out! & he said Tony Monaco ( z103.5 announcer)
Told him ALL about me; it honestly made my night. He knew exactly who I was & finally after FOREVER, on Wednesday I can finally meet him.
I don't know how that's going to go, but I can't wait to tell him that he has just met his NUMBER ONE fan;)

-- Danny's number one fan<3

Miss Congeniality & Miss Teen Brampton


This year, I decided to try something different.
I was sick of sitting at home, not trying new things.
Life is too short to do "nothing".
I decided to try Pageantry.
Though it was really expensive, my parents saw that I really wanted to do it & gave me that opportunity.
It all started with an email...
Miss Petite Canada 2009 sent me a message via facebook & told me to come try out,
I have been recruited.
I went to the studio in Toronto, and I had my interview.
It was a great success.
That same day, I found out I made it.
I got my sash, and I was off to a great start!
The whole experience was amazing and I learned a lot about myself & I am much more confident.
I met so many talented people & a lot of new friends.
Everytime I went to training I learned something new.
As we stayed at the hotel for the five days, we had our interview.
We prepared for two months for this interview, but as I went into the interview room, it was filled with smiling judges & a great atmosphere.
I entered very confidently, and smiled.
I introduced myself & the interview began!
After answering all the 7 judges questions, one judge said that I did an amazing job & that my answers were fantastic.
That really made me more confident in myself and I hoped that it would be a great success!
The best part of all this was the photoshoot, it really made me more confident & I have never done a photoshoot before so the fact that I had this opportunity was amazing.
It was done very fastpaced, & it was stressful at the same time.
All those clothing changes, all the hair and makeup checks, it takes time, but its hectic as well.
Showtime finally came around! -- I was definitly nervous but my family members came out to support!
Backstage we had our makeup & hair professionally done & then we had a practice run.
We are all ready for show time!
By the end of the night, we found out the winners.
Even though I didn't get a chance to represent Ontario, I am proud to say that I won Miss Congeniality -- as in, best interview & best personality out of ALL the teens, & Miss Teen Brampton.
I am proud to be represting my city, & I am glad that I got this far.
I learned a lot, & I hope to take this experience to bigger & better things!

She wants to feel loved


She loves him.
Its not hard to understand.
He loves.....
She believes.. that he loves the idea of her.
She tells him that she doesn't feel loved by him anymore,
and that something has to change because the love isn't mutual.
She explains that its only love physically

when there bodies are pressed against each other.
She then goes on, telling him that its only the physical love that's being shared.
She doesn't like it
She doesn't want anyone but him,
and she looks back on all the memories they had, all the laughs.
She then sits and giggles to herself,
remembering all the good times they had when they were happy, when things were perfect between them.
Where it would just be them, sitting down, resting her head against his chest...
laughing!
About anything and everything that caught their eye.
when they sat together and he would try to say stupid jokes that only she would laugh at, and he would look at her with this face only she knows.
This face would explain what hes thinking at that very moment.
"I don't get the joke, its not that funny" as he has a smirk on his face because theres no other smile in the world that makes him smile,
knowing that him and his girl are together smiling and laughing as one.
Its his laugh that makes her laugh,
its his smile that makes her smile.
And knowing that shes smiling and laughing, makes him believe that hes finally doing something right.
He tells her,
I don't need to sit here and tell you your beautiful everyday,
because you already know it.
I don't need to kiss you every minute when were together,
what are we proving?
I don't need to hold your hand,
we don't need to prove anything to the world, or people around us.
He continues,
I don't need to tell you things that you know each and every day how i feel about you!
We are together, we don't need to prove nothing to anyone but ourselves.
She stops, and thinks.
And she understands exactly what he means,
she doesn't want to fight, she doesn't want to break up.
She would rather fight with him then kiss someone else.
She knows that no one will be like him, she knows she wont be able to find someone like him in her life.
Its that Kind Amazing Type of Love.
So she says again.
She loves him
its not hard to understand
He loves....
She believes... that he loves her.
Different ways of showing love. And each couple has it.
Its not saying i love you every time there together or on the phone.
Its not kissing every 5 minutes.
Its the little love and affection they show that only them will be able to understand.
She wants to feel loved,
and his love is the only love she wants.


He is hers,
and She is his.
Its just that simple!

Taylor Swift Concert


So a few weeks ago two of my best friends, Samantha Nobre & Samantha Rideout had an extra ticket to the Taylor Swift concert so they asked me if I'd like to join them, I obviously could NEVER turn down that opportunity! Nobre's brother, Nicholas, drove us there & he also joined us.
Kellie Pickler was the opening act & she did an OUTSTANDING job.
She is so talented & just completely amazing.
Once Taylor Swift came on she was just wonderful.
She is without a doubt my favourite singer.
I honestly idolize her.
I can relate to all her songs on many different levels.
She is truly inspirational & everything that she sings about is real life.
She sings about every girl's problems & we can really relate to.
After her concert, we all bought her shirt & the next day wore them to school.
I can't wait for her next concert cause I'll be there for sure!

Lonely...


I'd rather be alone than feel used,
I'd rather be alone than having to deal with liars
I'd rather be alone than having to deal with stress
I'd rather be alone than to fight with you every day
I'd rather be alone than having to deal with YOUR insecurity issues
I'd rather be alone than being confused
I'd rather be alone than having to guess how i'm suppose to feel
I'd rather be alone than to sit and worry every night
I'd rather be alone than having to explain myself for every situation
I'd rather be alone than by myself with a room full of people
I'd rather be alone than to sit and cry every night
I'd rather be alone than to get used
I'd rather be alone than to be cheated on
I'd rather be alone than to loose my self confidence
I'd rather be alone than to loose my own self esteem
I'd rather be alone than to sit and blame myself for everything
I'd rather be alone than to worry
I'd rather be alone than to simply fail
I'd rather be alone than to be lied to
I'd rather be alone than to be up all night wondering
I'd rather be alone than to sit and guess...
I'd rather be alone than to loose all hope
I'd rather be alone than having my heart get played with
I'd rather be alone than to have my trust broken
I'd rather be alone than to be crushed
I'd rather be alone than to have my heart stolen and plans crushed
I'd rather be alone than to be broken down
I'd rather be alone than to loose something i worked hard for
I'd rather be alone than to tell the same broken story
I'd rather be alone than be one of your another girls
I'd rather be alone than be embarrassed by your actions
I'd rather be alone than be hurt.
Stupid boy.

Humber College


So finally, after all that planning, & thinking about what I want to do with my future I have finally decided what is best for me right now.

Ryerson University was always my first choice, but after talking to professional radio announcers & hearing imput from others, & the price, really impacted my choice.

I have decided that Humber is the best way to go for first year, just to see how it is like.

I am planning on going to Humber College first year to see the enviornment and just see what it is like, get a job, and save up money & switch to Ryerson the year after & live on residence.

I hope for the best in Humber College & Im really looking forward to meeting new people & joining the cheerleading team again like I have been in Fletcher's.

Humber, here I come!;)

Junos




So I watched the Junos this year & I thought that they were amazing!
I believe that everyone had amazing performances & that all the winners completely deserved it.
So as most people heard, Danny Fernandes kind of messed up while presenting an award.
A lot of people & the media were making a big deal out of it.
They were talking about it on z1035 & the reason why he made the mistake was simply because he didn't wear his glasses & couldn't see the script.
I believe that it wasn't his fault & that everyone makes mistakes.
On twitter he simply stated that "the media was taking it overboard" & I completely agree with that.
The media really takes things & exagurates it & sometimes even the famous need a break.
Despite that, I really enjoyed Drake & Justin Bieber's performance, it really stood out & they are really both making a big breakthrough as amazing Canadian artists.
I absoloutly can't wait for the next Junos!
Until next year!:)






Domo's visit


When Domo came to our class he really stood out & we definitly learned a lot from him.
He was very out going & really easy to talk to.
He is someone that talks from his heart and everything he said was really useful & something that I could apply to myself.
He taught the class a lot about just listening to your heart & not your mind.
Just really being successful & being yourself.
He really opened up to us and told us a lot about himself.
When you look at him, he doesn't seem like he's had a bad past, but I've learned not to judge a book by its cover. Overall, he has gotten so far in life, and it has really impacted me & he really influenced me into doing whatever it takes to get to where I want in life & I will apply everything I learned in order to achieve my goals.

The fact that he knew Donald Trump really stood out to me, and I thought that was really cool & it was really a big deal.
He is someone that I really want to keep in touch with because he is really out going and someone that is a good contact as well.
He really inspired our class & I really liked that he came to our class.
