nothing better to do but...

...BLOG! :) hey hey hey it's a really rainy day (that was an unintentional rhyme) :)

i'm really tired right now. what do you do when your best friend is sick but to pray and hope for the best ): sad face.

gym class was a fail today. we played softball and i kinda sucked at it. i can be there all day and still not get a hit.

thankfully i had a glimmer of hope (or maybe God was shining down on me in pity) and finally hit the freaking softball after who knows how many hits....it was sad.

so let's provide you with some awesome music for you to listen to...hmm i think that i should give you some Push Play for your enjoyment... :) :)

PUSH PLAY - This is Us Breaking Up (Better Off) -- one of my favorite break up songs, but of course, there is no need for that kind of hate towards anyone yet...hopefully not now and not ever !

RANDOM THOUGHT. i think that the world can benefit from no hate. if we all stopped hating each other for their imperfections or stopped hating ourselves for our own imperfections, the world would be a smoother and happier place. no joke. #onethingiwouldchange random twitter trending topic from a long time ago...

so the Canucks won Game 7 on home ice. (they better have. or else there would have been a riot and people could have died.) we beat out our long lasting rivals the Chicago Blackhawks (if there is anyone from Chicago reading this, please do not sue. and peace be with you.) out of round one, so now we are onto round 2. i think we are up against Nashville...but only time will tell :)

sigh. my better half of me is at home. i pray that my better half gets better soon. what fun is school when you are your own worst enemy and you don't have your better half to bring out the sun through the clouds?

anyhow, i'm pretty much done online journaling for the day (if that even makes sense....) well, there really is nothing better to do when it's raining outside. praying for some sun...

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! praying for sun...and you all. :)

love, rachelrae xx

EDMONTON!!

WE'RE IN EDMONTON!

So far it has been a blast. We went to West Edmonton Mall and we has the opportunity to watch the New Edmonton Symphonia and the U of Calgary wind ensemble play. Both groups are extremely talented.

James Campbell is also someone that we saw last night. He is an AMAZING clarinet soloist. He's absolutely incredible.

So yes, I am in my hotel room listening to people in the room beside mine, listening to someone play Debussy on he piano. Debussy is a GENIUS.

So we are halfway our music trip. :( I like Edmonton; it's not as cold as everyone says it is.

It's sad, but things must come to an end. Oh well.

So for now, I think that it is time TO say good bye. STAY OUTTA TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE. love, rachelrae xx

one more day...

...until EDMONTON! :) good and bad:

Good: away from school. my first trip on my own with my friendsies, doing something i love <3 MUUUUSIC!

Bad: it's going to be snowy. and cold. and everything else in between. i'll miss my other friends and my family :(

but yeah, this trip is going to rock...nevermind the snow :P

so what's going on people? i can't believe we are already halfway through april. today is april 15th and there are only 30 days in april. so yeah...30 divided by 2 is 15..

yuup, i just had to bring math into this :)

random quote: this is an excerpt from a really good book that i read, entitled "Breathe" by Jessica Warman. if you ever get the chance,  read it. it's a pretty exceptional book, and it's so real and touching.

so yeah.... :)

"I have nightmares about you...in hell."

"And I have nightmares about you...running for public office."

:D LOL

so, i fell in love with this new band, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. check this out...

this is a song called Represent by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. i think that they're pretty amazing.

and that's why they belong on my blog, That's Amazing. LOL ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q and A Time! :)

this is via Formspring - "When was the last time you received flowers?"

my initial reaction to this question, what the heck? what type of question is this?

my answer (as you can probably guess) NEVER.

LOL next question...

this is from anonymous: what do you see yourself doing in 10 years?

hmm, this is a pretty DEEEP question. i must say, this anonymous has serious minds... :P LOL

i would say that in 10 years i would like to be a HS teacher. i know, i know, weird. but i would seriously like to consider becoming a teacher just to teach people. preferrably socials and english. i'm not too great at science, and don't even get me started on math. i kinda hate it, but oh well.

and i'm definitely not qualified to teach french. not now, not ever.

LOL my random smiley :)

and that concludes our question period, please join us next time for some more smashing fun ;) RAANDOM.

of course, we can't forget my favorite boys, Big Time Rush. :)

i don't remember if i posted this one before, but this is "Count on You" by BTR with Jordin Sparks. i love this song, it's so sweet and slow. perfect for me ;) <3

okay, gotta get packing for the crazy cold city. i won't be posting for a while, but you know the drill..

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE.! i just realized that my birthday is coming up really soon...wow i really feel old ;)

but as we all say, 'life does go on, so make the best of it and just live your life.'

is that Rihanna i hear singing in the background? LOL

love, rachelrae xx

another random post by yours truly...

Worldwide - Big Time Rush

AWWWWW WORLDWIDE! BIG TIME RUSH IS TRENDING WORLDWIDE!

so i finally know something that i will not share on this blog, but i will keep you hanging :) :)

anyhow, it has finally stopped raining. FINALLY! the flowers are blooming everywhere and the grass is so green! yay!...

this has been a random weather update, as told by rachelrae :)

WHAT IS UP CHILDREN? the sky, correct!

lol this is another way of using a convertible... i highly suggest buying one (that is, if you can afford it), because it is very useful, especially if you plan on cutting people off like that when reverse parking...

this is such a random post. i'm really tired, and i have nothing better to do. well, i do actually. the thing is, i just want to kick back and relax. i think that the world would benefit from some hardcore relaxation...

i'm sorry, i'm just really bored right now. i should be working on my socials but i kinda...y'know...

actually i don't know.

i really don't.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so QUESTION TIME!!!

this is all via Formspring, so yeah, let us tackle these question...

"What is your favorite genre of music?"

ANSWER: i like a lot of different music. really, i can't think up anything at this moment...

"Would you rather swim in a pool or the ocean?"

ANSWER: i would say the pool, although i have never swam in the ocean before. but i can't really picture myself in salty sea water...


okay, so that's that. again, i'm sorry for the random post. it's just something i have to do in order to keep myself intact and sane...

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! peace be with you (:

love, rachelrae xx

some good weather please?...

this past week it has been raining like crazy. and today it was hailing. must I remind mother nature that it is APRIL???

so yeah, how is life? my life has been pretty much shook up because of one name:

REBECCA. BLACK. and i am not joking about this. her songs are just ridiculous in every way: the lyrics are pointless, the singing is just terrible, and so much for auto-tuning. it makes it even worse for her. So the song, Friday is a terrible mess. yes, we do know that friday comes after thursday. sheesh. and by the way, since she is a thirteen year old, someone explain to me how come her friends are able to drive. WAIT, they could be pedophiles...just saying, just saying :) :)

also, i have been (against my will) made to listen to her new song, which has absolutely no difference to Friday. and it's called Prom Night. "His hair is brown and my dress is blue." Wonderful to hear. just don't search up the song. the auto-tuning on that track is a fail as well.

but here is something funny...Hitler's impression of Friday. it's something that my friend showed me...

LOLOLOL....

also, to lighten the mood, this is something funny that i have been shown. just goes to show how awesome some people can drive...or park...or reverse, for that matter...

this is subtitled in English, but there are some parts of the conversation in Chinese. just a heads up...but it's still funny. it's even more funny if you understand Hokkien... :) :)

so yeah. for some reason when i posted last it never showed up, so here i am, re-typing my thoughts out. but now i must leave now, so yeah... STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! word...

OH OH by the way: the thing that i am most excited about now? EDMONTON IN ONE WEEK!

if there is anything you'd ike to say - - Tweet it, Formspring.me, or just good old email me. just try not to spam my inbox, kaayyys? ;)

lovely love, children, rachelrae xx

sup?

nothing much, just you know, living life and yeahh...you? :)

the sky's the limit, children. ask away...

Cats or Dogs?

cats believe it or not :)

the sky's the limit, children. ask away...

What would you want to see in a guy for you to like them? Mysterious like that anonymous person? Good looking? Smart? etc...

mysterious is cool but sometimes frustrating because you have no idea what the other person is like or how they act like. good looking isn't a requirement (thought it helps! js js ;) ) i would like someone who is honest and respectful, and will wait for me when the time is right :)

the sky's the limit, children. ask away...
