watching fireworks with a few good friends

nothing special but the beach, summer air, pretty lights, and friends to make it a simply great night.

the look on your friend’s face when you surprise him/her on his/her birthday

happy birthday, ho yi :)

i realized that i’ve sort of stopped posting text posts. i had two 30-day challenges going at the same time eight months ago, and for some reason, i never finished them. if you can’t tell from my recent posts, i haven’t been feeling as swell as i used to. i thought maybe doing the things i used to do when i was okay would help.

if any of my old followers are still following me, thank you :) i’m going to start blogging about some things i haven’t posted about in a long time. you may or may not remember them:

i like that!
the best things in life
30 day list challenge
30 day disney-pixar movies challenge

i haven’t posted anything like the above in a long time. and i don’t remember what i wrote in those posts, so haha if some of them are awkward.

oh, and i’m gonna start another 30 day challenge :D get ready for constant posts to make up for my lack of reblogs, photos, etc these past few weeks!

the feeling you get when you finally finish your homework.

especially when you finish early, or after staying up all night.
breathe a sigh of relief. aah.

those days that just seem.. perfect.

thank you, friends :).

going on vacation/going away/traveling with your friends :)

going to florida with a bunch of semi-cool, friends-ish. ahah justkidding.
they’re a pretty great bunch.
but yeah. just going away to places you’ve never been is so much better when you’re with you friends.
“it’s not where you are, it’s who you’re with” :)

getting out of school early due to power outages, strong winds, snowstorms, etc.

which happened today :)
getting out four hours early is pretty amazing.
the above picture of mr. squarepants pretty much depicts how the entire student body looked like eagerly waiting for the principal to say “… students will be dismissed after this block”

when certain songs remind you of a certain person or certain times in your life that made you - and still make you smile :)

just a few personal examples:
i tried - bone thugs n harmony (grade seven, favourite school year)
summer love - justin timberlake (summer of 07.)
make love in this club - usher (former teacher. she hated this song, and dedicated about an hour just ranting about how why she hated it LOL)
just dance - lady gaga (summer of 08)

what songs remind you of certain things?

mini cream puffs.

an entire bucketful. they’re pretty much amazing.
ohmygoodness i want moore. but i’m down to the last ten ): sigh sigh.
must go buy more.

fridays.

thank goodness. sleeping in on the weekend is pretty cool.

homework-free nights.

staying on tumblr, facebook and msn the entire night. yippe :)
and squeezing time for a movie, and catching up on some reading.
more so the movie, than the latter.

receiving good old fashioned, handwritten snail mail.

isn’t so much more meaningful when someone takes the time to write out a letter for you?

when your friend lets you borrow their ipod.

especially if you have to do a twelve minute run.
thanks again, hoyi :)!

lying down on the ground after a run.

especially after long block gym.
run. stop. collapse.
even though you’re supposed to walk it off after running..

Eating homemade cookies fresh out of the oven.

mmmm.
now i’m hungry. greaaat.
