Last day of July!

Whoa, there! July 31st already? Where did July go? Where did the time go??

This is insanity!

Anyways, I got a ton more questions from you guys. You are probably all the coolest blog followers ever!

I just finished another day of camp... excrutiating, but you get through it. Its really rewarding when the kids finally listen to you and understand things and learn new things. So fun but I think my voice is going.. my choir director isn't going to be too happy about that one >.<"

Oh well, here we go. Less talking, more writing, more answering!

Q: I love my girlfriend so, so much. We've been dating since 7th grade, and we just graduated from high school. We're both 18, and I can't wait another day for her to go on as just my girlfriend.. I want to marry her! Do you think its too early? - Don't Wanna Be A Bachelor Forever, via Tumblr

JAAG: Awwe, don't worry, I highly doubt that you will be a bachelor! But you know what, good for yo uand your girlfriend for committing to such a long lasting relationship, and showing to her how much you love and appreciate her! Honestly, it's totally up to you. You and her both have to sit down and discuss this. We aren't talking about a T-shirt that you can buy and return a couple days later because it doesn't fit or because you don't like it.. this is MARRIAGE! You have to decide, and she does also, if you both are ready for this long term commitment (If you ask me, you both seem really ready!) You also need to ask whether or not you are both ready to start a family. Do you both really want to put off school for the sake a your family, or will you finish school first before you have children? There are a lot of variables in place, as well as the financial aspect. Think through this, talk to your parents, and really really think long and hard before you get down on one knee and propose to her. Best of luck and congratulations to both of you for getting this far!!

Q: I think I'm lesbian. What do I do now? - via Twitter

JAAG: I'm the wrong person to ask, because I'm not. Good for you, though, for being true to yourself and realizing that you want to come through with such a big part of your life. I would say continue living your life and continue being the good friend you are. If you haven't told anyone yet, just be yourself. Tell someone that you can trust and that won't blow the whole thing out of proportion or leave you in your time of need. This is a big step in your life! Live it through day by day, and just be you. There is no one else like you.

Q: What are your thoughts on long distance relationships? Like, the ones where I'm here, and my boyfriend is going halfway across the world? - via Twitter

JAAG: This is interesting. I've actually been in a long distance relationship before. My boyfriend at the time didn't go as far as yours did; mine only went across the country away from me, so still fairly close but not close enough where we could both meet halfway and go grab a Starbucks or something. You could look at it as you won't be spending all your time with him, so there isn't the potential "getting bored" that some couples face because they spend all their time with each other. The thing is though, with his distance, even short visits maybe be difficult to coordinate because he is there, and you are here. On the other hand, you may have to take this as a sign of saying that this isn't meant to be. Some people can only tolerate long distance for so long, and sometimes people get antsy (not saying that you will, but its a possibility). You or your boyfriend might eventually fall for someone else, but then you won't be able to date them because technically, you are still in a relationship! It all comes down to how much you love him (okay, that sounds mean). You have to talk to him and communicate to him where you want this to go, so as to not let yourself or him miss out on a potential soulmate. If you do want to continue this relationship, not to worry! We are in the age of instant communcation: we have Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr... You have plenty of ways to talk to him on a regular basis!

Q: I heard that you were a singer/songwriter on your Tumblr. What do you write about? I want to write a song, but I don't know where to start.  - via Email

JAAG: Wow, something unrelated to relationships! :) That's true, I am a singer/songwriter and I absolutely adore writing songs in my spare time! My piano is my baby! Well, I usually write about songs that are true and relatable to my life. Usually there are three themes to the songs I write: 1) Songs about a boy that I wish was mine; 2) Songs about a boy who is mine and its about how much I love him; or 3) A break up song/I hate you type of song. Trust me, I've written a lot of those ;)
You really have to write about something that has happened to you. I once wrote a song about my Grandmother who passed away a couple years ago. That helped me cope and also helped me reminicse about all the times we spent together. Good luck on your songwriting!

Alrighty, I guess I'm off. My exam is in a week or so.... take care. Another tiring yet interesting coupld days await me...

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! The sun is shining, and if you're reading this... you're still alive. GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!

1 down, 2 more to go

Hey everyone!

Just came back from my Math Provincial.. most of it was fine, although some questions made me want to jump off the nearest bridge because 1) I had been taught it in tutorial (which was on monday btw) or 2) I had no idea what the hell I was doing.

Oh well. At least it's done ands over with. Now I can chill with you guys for a bit before I begin to study for Science... not fun :'(

So here we go, I got a couple questions that concerns just about everything in this big bad world.. shoot:

Q: Do you like anyone now? - via Twitter

JAAG: HAHAHHAA, good one. Honestly, I think I do. Does 'like' and 'crush' refer to the same thing?... if so, then yes. :)

Q: How do you know when you like someone? - via Twitter

JAAG: I guess that would depend on the person. Some people get really fidgety around the person that they like, and others may get really angry at that person. For me, I know that I like someone when I start using their name all the time. Recently I had gotten better at that, but I know that I like someone when I smile just thinking about them, wishing that I would see them, and feeling so amazing when I do.

Q: I've seen pictures of you on Tumblr. How do you do your makeup so well? You look gorgeous! -via Tumblr

JAAG: Why thank you :) While that is flattering that is also the teensiest bit creepy, but whatever :) Anyhow, I don't like to spend a lot of time on makeup because sometimes it's not necessary. Most of the time I go sans makeup but when I do, I usually do brown eyeliner (Thank goodness for AVON!) on the top lid and top lid only... I can never do bottom... Also, I use a Covergirl NatureLuxe lip colour in Hibiscus since it is closest to my natural lip colour with a tint of pink. I hope that answers your question !

Q: Could you post 100 truths about yourself? - via Twitter

JAAG: That looks interesting. I think I will.... ;)

So yes, good luck to anyone who has exams in the next couple of days.. I know I do. Have an amazing summer, everyone!

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE ;)

Summer?

wow, where has the time gone?? this is total insanity, the school year is over in exactly one week.

Here are some questions that I got that should be answered...

Q: Me and this girl have been dating for a year or so and now i am really tired of being with her 24/7. what should i do? - via Tumblr

JAAG: This should be a warning sign about where your relationship with your girlfriend is going: aka, perhaps nowhere. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but maybe a time for you to wake up to the change that might be needed in your life. Try talking to her, in a non-confrontational way, that you might need some space from her for a while, and see how that goes. Perhaps you feel suffocated from spending all your free time with her and you never really get a chance to hang out with your friends. Suggest to her that you and her should each have a respective guys/girls night out with friends. Hopefully this will ease any tension between you two and make you guys last even stronger :)

Q: I liked this guy ever since i met him in grade 4 (i'm 15 now). i have a friend who i introduced to him a couple months ago and now they are inseparable. I've never gotten one solid coversation with him in the years that i had liked him. what gives? - via email

JAAG: ouch, this kind of situation sucks, and I would know because I have been there before and I currently have to see the ex object of my affection dating a girl that he had just met earlier this school year. This maybe a sign that this guy, (as harsh as it sounds, I'm sorry!) doesn't like you. This, of course, is his sorry loss. You are too good, too amazing, too beautiful to be held back by this guy from liking other guys. I say, let them be. You don't really know if they will really be a 'thing', so why waste your precious time feeling jealous over something that hasn't happened yet? Go out and explore, chica! The world is big, and time's a wasting!

Q: Where are the hottest guys in the world (in your opinion?) - via Twitter

JAAG: ooh, good question! a difficult one though ;) I would have to say that cute guys are everywhere...you just have to find them first. I personallly like Greek guys :)

Q: there is this girl that i like, and everytime i try to talk to her, i freeze up or do something that makes me look like a totally uncoordinated guy or an idiot. what should i do to tell her that i totally like her and that i'm not a total klutz? - weak at the knees , via Tumblr

 

JAAG: Take deep breaths. Tell yourself that you are a great guy, and this girl has nothing to lose if she is caught talking to you. Promote yourself with confidence and wear something that makes you feel happy. Ask something simple: If you have a class with her, ask her how her assignment is going or make a funny impression of a teacher. If you have done your reasearch (you know what i'm talking about if you did), ask her about her hockey team is doing. It's the simple things that can make her day and make her realize that you are a great guy to be with. Good luck!

 

So, if you are looking at the calendar like me, you would realize that, hey, it's summer break just around the corner.

 

OH SHOOT.

That means exams.

I should study.

 

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! :) Remember, keep the questions coming! tumblr is an excellent way to, just saying :) Good luck to everyone with exams and stuff, and enjoy summer!

so close!

hey there!

remember my last post when i was totally complaining out of my skull?

well guess what? exams are almost over! we have only one exam left and then

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

freedom feels so good, just can't wait.

also, i have also made a new website to celebrate. it also has a blog but this is my main blog, right here.

i will never abandon That's Amazing (:

here is the site, with all my randomness and word of wisdom wrapped into one technological fortune cookie. enjoy!
http://www.pianooverdose.yolasite.com/

hooray for free websites at YolaSite!

later! must go study and then.... FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!

xoxo, STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE!

studying. sucks.

hey everyone!

hope that 2011 has been good to you so far. if it hasn't, i hope that it turns around for you sometime in the near future.

we're currently in the midst of studying for our mid year exams. that sucks because we could be doing so much more with our lives instead of looking aimlessly at textbooks. this is very sad.

as much as i like school and such (yes it's a fact that i like school) it is difficult to sit myself in front of my textbook and binders and notes and everything and force myself to study.

that's why i am here and typing out another blogger entry: to ease my mind.
i have to get back to studying 200+ years worth of English/French history, physics and chem, and perhaps start prepping for a French oral. Improv speaking in another language is definitely not my forte.

thank goodness we already have one exam done!....

wait, that was english.

oh screw it. at least we got to start off with something totally easy.

well, i must get back to what i am called to do. peace out, and don't go crazy.

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE. live it up and never back down.
