It's like a best friend-you can go to it when you're sad or angry or upset or frustrated or even happy and no matter what you will get something wonderful from it. Anyone can skate, but it takes someone special to be a skater. You need determination, dedication, self discipline, a work ethic, time, effort, support, and most importantly a burning passion for the sport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you can overlook the bruises, cuts, bad days, relentless training, pressure to succeed, sore muscles, endless hours of work and total frustration and you can still find sheer happiness in it then you know you have something special. My advice? Take it and run with it. You don't know how lucky you are to have it until it's gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's to.... cold rinks, early mornings, countless hours of practice, landing a jump for the first time, good days, bad days, everything in between, a new injury every day, being in pain and skating your heart out anyway, road trips, plane trips, feeling like you can't breathe at the end of your program, breaking in new skates, year round training, weight lifting, getting yelled at to turn your warm up music down, counting calories, going CrAzY when you're off the ice, new dresses, competitor parties, goodie bags, lunch breaks, final rounds, practice ice, 4 am wake up calls, cheering for your friends, eating out with your friends after a long day at the rink, sleepovers, trophies, medals, skating when you're injured, physical therapy, adrenaline rushes, patience, perseverance, being exhausted, growing up, disappointments, mistakes, let downs, friends who understand what skating means, miracles, love, best friends for life, and most of all - the hardest and best sport ever.. Figure Skating... you only understand it if you've lived it&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay so it's really meaningful,touching and all the other 'beautiful' words you could use to describe it.Just wanted to share this to whoever's reading this.

They cost:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.White Chocolate-$12&lt;br /&gt;.Macadamia- $12&lt;br /&gt;.Chocolate-$10&lt;br /&gt;.Mint-$10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hm, i think i'd go with chocolate, i mean, then that means my family can share it, because not everyone likes mint. So i guess, i'd buy chocolate,so there goes $10 to the Girl Guides. Wheepee! (i haven't tried them before, but looking forward to eating it "don't i sound greedy right now?", hahas.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since it's BMW, which is Book And Music week, school from Wed.-Fri. has no lessons, we're supposed to bring, our pencil cases that's all. Which is good because, well, obviously we won't have to study, thats'f for one, and another thing, we don't have to carry heavy books up the steps. Those are good points. So the bad thing is we finish at around 3:00 instead of the usually day time 2:15 pm. So that gives me around 3hrs or 3hrs 30mins to get ready before tution at 7pm. Maybe some yoga would do the trick. Yoga to me equals:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Felix trying to attack my yoga mat&lt;br /&gt;-Me trying to get my 'Facing Downward Dog Pose" right, which also equals pain to legs.&lt;br /&gt;-But i could always go with the easy 'Loutus Pose' where i sit there with my legs crossed,going, 'We're all in this together..' and trying to relax with High School Musical playing in the background (they have alot of HSM songs on radioblogclub.com, here's the link: &lt;a href="http://www.radioblogclub.com/search/0/high_school_musical"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Link&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hahas.again. anyway, this was a pretty long 3-in-1 -post instead of creating three separte posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;3 artistic-blades&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30505602-115321225264868119?l=artistic-blades.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/feeds/115321225264868119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30505602&amp;postID=115321225264868119' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115321225264868119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115321225264868119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/2006/07/projectsgirl-guides-biscuitsbmw.html' title='Projects/Girl Guides (biscuits)/BMW'/><author><name>.artistic.blades.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02809950643433889460</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30505602.post-115321097191489518</id><published>2006-07-18T16:14:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T16:33:30.236+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Caricature</title><content type='html'>Caricature "is a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the basic essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness." adapted from &lt;a href="www.wikipedia.com"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a website where you can see pictures of caricature: &lt;a href="http://www.caricature.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Websi&lt;/em&gt;te&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In primary 6, i think, "Town For Kids" we're doing something like this, you pay a bit of money, and they do a portrait (in caricature form), their pretty good, even though i like quite different in the portrait, but i have to agree caricaturing sure ain't easy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;3 artistic-blades&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30505602-115321097191489518?l=artistic-blades.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/feeds/115321097191489518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30505602&amp;postID=115321097191489518' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115321097191489518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115321097191489518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/2006/07/caricature.html' title='Caricature'/><author><name>.artistic.blades.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02809950643433889460</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30505602.post-115321005503084909</id><published>2006-07-18T16:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T17:10:03.533+08:00</updated><title type='text'>STOMP</title><content type='html'>If you haven't heard about, STOMP, i can't believe you!

Okay, first thing, I know, it’s lame…boring…and all round stupid but this was the only competition open. Do you think I have a chance? Well I know Gabs hated it, she hissed at it like it was a stinky mouse hiding under my bed sheets or something. But to me it does rather make no sense. Mom is at her laundry factory again. She said that the machines were having a problem and she had to rush down to see them. You see that? That is my mom caring more about her part-time job as a laundry girl than looking after granny, Gabs, Mr. Lickerish, Dan and me. Granny says it’s all not true and that she cares more about me…blah blah. But I don’t see why granny disagrees with me I mean mom hasn’t given granny her allowance in like two days, (which by the way is a lot for a granny who sits there everyday waiting for her child to give her the money she owes her after those thirty-five years of bringing her up), I think got that from one of those reality shows at the mall while cruising by the “Chocz Heaven” chocolate fondue shop every ten to fifteen minutes. You know that shop could really do a free chocolate tasting session, all in favor say I! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Detention that’s what Dan’s in for again, he was caught trying to….it says here that he was trying to get a date out with Ruby Radford from Dennings street during a Chemistry test. That’s what he’s in for? That is so lame. Dan’s Chemistry teacher, Mr. Blaloooza, tries to get anyone into detention for weird reasons like that, I mean even chewing gum in the lobby means getting detention. What’s with this? Mom keeps Dan’s detention slips in a file under her bed side table. She says she keeps them for reference when she’s run out of excuses to get him to do his homework or to clean his room. I never really went into Dan’s room, but once, I over heard the maid saying to mom that she can cut her fees, but she’s not cleaning Dan’s room EVER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there’s, Mr. Lickerish and Gabs. Mr. Lickerish is just a plain, fat, greedy, cute, tabby cat that sits on your lap every time your holding a burger. So then that’s him. Then there’s Gabs, a beautiful, white, fluffy, medium-sized, blue-eyed, white-long-haired cat. She’s pretty adored by us and all the little kids that walk by this place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mondays are ballet, Tuesdays are gymnastics, Wednesdays are Figure skating, Thursdays are mine, Fridays are painting classes, Saturdays are mine, and Sundays are Church days. That’s what my mom calls free, okay so it’s like this. My mom comes through the kitchen pass the little island inside through the corridors and she sees me lying on the beanie and she says “Riley, don’t you have something better to do than to stare at the television all day? Maybe your to free…in fact there are some aerobic lessons going on, maybe you should join in, it’s on Fridays at the community club which is located at the rear end of Shirley Davidson’s academy of music. Take a day off and go. Maybe you’ll be a natural body bender...” she giggles and walks away like she’s not put me in enough for one week. The bad part is she made me give up my free Thursdays for aerobics! So now my weekly planner is jammed-packed, that makes me free only on Saturdays! Just to clear things up my planner is going accordingly as Mondays are ballet, Tuesdays are gymnastics, Wednesdays are Figure skating , Thursdays are (NOW) aerobics, Fridays are painting classes, Saturdays are mine, Sundays are church days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey…it’s you” Dan said as he walked through the main gate. “Hi to you too. And who’d you think I was? Ruby?"I said as I picked up my nail polish and walked passed him. “Actually yeah..” Dan said. Okay after that moment I knew something was not right and he wanted me to do something really stupid for him. I mean, I know I had her figure, height, and eyebrows but what could he want from me? “What?” I said suspiciously turning back around looking for my nail clipper. “YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?!!” I screamed half way to the top of my lungs. He wanted me to hook him up with his “dreamy” ‘girlfriend’ Ruby. Gosh! “No way. Not now, not ever.” I said as I stomped my way across the room. Was my jock brother that pathetic with girls? Maybe it’s because of the time my granddad taught Dan some ‘tricks’ of getting the girls to go out with him. But I guess it probably triggered his bad ‘dating’ quotes. Too bad for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven’t really said much about how old everyone in this house really is…okay mom is forty-two, granny is fifty-six, granddad is fifty-nine, Dan is fifteen and I’m seventeen. I know what your thinking, is my granny that young? (for a granny that is) and yeah. The thing is my grandparents and parents got married really young maybe it was when they were in their late twenties. The thing is I never mentioned my dad in any of this, it was my either my pets, granny, granddad, Dan or mom, no dad. It’s because dad went to one of those war-torn-countries for just for a meeting on the ‘Global Health’ topic. Anyway, he said he wanted to go as it was a one-million dollar contract and if he got it he would get fifty-percent of it. Cool huh? But dad never made it back. We never actually knew the ‘full-coverage’ on what had happened. But that was six years back and nowadays we don’t sob over the words like ‘husband’ or ‘dad’ anymore we kind of got use to it not having him here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesley Stella is very much the only high school junior, fourteen years old, who has a limo that picks her up and drives her to school. Her dad owns a major macaroni and cheese company that sells in a snap. It’s like every time the shopkeeper opens a new box of macaroni and cheese boxes to put on the shelves, the customers are already giving her the eye which kind of says ‘hand over the macaroni and cheese or else…’ it kind of gets freaky when you see old grannies hitting men on the head saying “you should always give what is yours to your elders, now hand it over!” and the granny lifts up her purse about to hit an innocent customer. Okay so maybe it’s not that violent, I over-reacted but, Yup, that’s how popular and ‘violent’ the macaroni and cheese really is. But I have a V.I.P access to the macaroni and cheese and she sells it to me whenever my mom can’t find it in the supermarket down on K. Street. Lesley isn’t really as stuck up and spoilt as Ruby. Actually Lesley is my best friend and we have been ever since my dad made a contract deal with her dad’s company. What I don’t get is what would my dad’s company want with a macaroni and cheese company? So that’s about how Lesley and I became best friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s ten o’clock Dan handover the laptop, you know I have a booking at this time..” I said as I unplugged the earplugs from the laptop. “Hey! I was listening to that! And fine take it I’m already done reading half the history of your MSN conversations, well that packs this one up” Dan laughed as he jumped over the sofa heading towards the tub of ‘Bens &amp; Jerrys’ ice-cream that mom tries to hid away from him. Got to tell mom that she should hid it in the stinky cabbage drawer even I couldn’t open that! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom had called me down for one of those ‘lectures’. And this time it was about what I said to granny, it was “you see that granny? mom cares more about her dumb job as a laundry girl rather than looking after you, Dan, Mr. Lickerish , Gabs and me” it was not exactly that, but it was somewhere along those lines. “I can’t believe you said that about me I mean I do this job for a living and if I don’t care about this job you’d be starving for life and would be wearing the same underwear every day!” mom as she sat on the leather rocking chair placing her hand at her head. I think she was thinking of a punishment for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just don’t get it why couldn’t mom get a cool job like an artist, a wildlife conservationist, a physiatrist, or something other than this. I mean it’s not easy saying your mom’s a laundry girl is it? But on the other hand mom’s actually right. She does have to earn a living for us and probably send me to University. “Do you understand? I don’t want to be separated from you to do my job but I must, if your father…..” mom mumbled something towards the end and walk towards the kitchen to feed the cats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(An excerpt, everything here in this story is copyrighted by me the owner)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30505602-115172733710853485?l=artistic-blades.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/feeds/115172733710853485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30505602&amp;postID=115172733710853485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115172733710853485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115172733710853485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/2006/07/excerpt-of-my-story.html' title='An excerpt of my story.'/><author><name>.artistic.blades.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02809950643433889460</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30505602.post-115171802662717823</id><published>2006-07-01T09:38:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-01T09:40:26.626+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hey, okay, i'll start of with, welcome to my blog! i know it's kind of rusty around the edges but it's still in the making. so um, theres nothing much to enjoy just yet, but i guess you'll enjoy the cat pictures for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-see ya =]&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30505602-115171802662717823?l=artistic-blades.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/feeds/115171802662717823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30505602&amp;postID=115171802662717823' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115171802662717823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30505602/posts/default/115171802662717823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artistic-blades.blogspot.com/2006/06/hey-okay-ill-start-of-with-welcome-to.html' title=''/><author><name>.artistic.blades.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02809950643433889460</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
