That 2010 is gonna be a good year.
That 2010 is gonna be a good, good year.
woohoo. :]
Cause it's my last chance to make a new beginning.
But, there's that fear that I'll fail there (socially) and will be stuck with the friends I have right now. I suppose that makes me seems so jaded and selfish. I never went to a school, and I've never been socially involved with anything except youth group. I want to start over with new friends and a whole new positive attitude.
Also, University starts in a week. I'm excited & nervous. Don't know what to expect. I want to make new friends. I don't want all my younger, 'high school' friends. I'm looking for something more mature. But in reality, am I asking for too much? I know with me complaining, the problem starts with me. However, what if there is a slight chance it isn't me? I guess you can only try fix yourself.
Is it possible though, to wipe out your past and start over? Or, in the process will you be buried under your efforts?
I'm confused.
If you’ve heard of lockers you know people are dying for invites.
Here’s the next big time: Swag Bucks.
Free Registration. Collect Points. Hello, awesome site?
I think so.
I took that picture. :]

Heading off tomorrow to see the Atticus tour in Seattle. This venue is larger, so I don't know if they'll even let me in with my camera. Praying that they do. So, I'll be seeing Finch, Blessthefall, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Of Mice & Men, Let's Get It and The Sky Electric. 6 BANDS THAT I MAY GET TO SHOOT. ME = HAPPY. Praying it all work out. Long drive down there, also I have some promos that I need to finish up for Fearless. Hopefully I'll get to see a load of kids who want some free stickers and mini-posters?
I'M HAPPY. I'M GOING TO EAT CHIPOTLE, BUY SOME VINYL. HANG OUT WITH BANDS. GET SOME AWESOME PICTURES. EAT MORE CHIPOTLE. AND BUY THE OFFICE ON DVD.
Okay, sleepy time. I'm still sick and need all the rest I can get.
The new album from 'Every Avenue' is now out. Be sure to get your copy on itunes!
I've had a listen, and it's really good. If you're into the pop/rock bands... go for it!
Want a free song from Eye Alaska?
Head on over to Pac Sun to download 'Walk Like A Gentleman' for free!
The record comes out on Tuesday. It's really good, believe me.
you'd like to hear it before you buy it, Alloy.com is streaming the whole album.
Be sure to check it out, either pre-order or buy it in stores on Tuesday, November 3rd!
Tomorrow is the big day. I'm meeting with a record producer to show my photography portfolio. He really liked the band shots I did for some friends, that he's recording. So, I'm just really praying that this opens up some doors. I have my portfolio ready to go with everything from portraits to live shows to band shoots. Should be fun.
i literally can feel my immune system failing.
i'm moody, selfish and angry. and i don't like it one bit.
i'm on about three different meds and they can't be taken at the same time.
only because they set off negative reactions.
i have to go to the states saturday and i probably won't be able to.
either because i'm really sick or that my mood will tick off anyone that i'll meet.
i hate being sick. i also hate working while i'm sick.
also, the thought of college terrifies me.
i'll stop being so negative. i just needed someone/something to vent at.
A new album is out by the band blessthefall, called 'WITNESS'
I gave it a listen, pretty darn good.
If you're into A Skylit Drive, Agraceful, Every Time I Die and The Devil Wears Prada, be sure to check out blessthefall.
Even go ahead and add them on myspace, too!
p.s i'm not spamming you, lulz. i work for the fearless records street team and it's kind of my job to do these promos.
:]
In reality, it's only in Christ.
Only in Him are we complete.
Updatesssss.
TRANSCRIPT IS FIXEDEDEDEDEDEDED! This pleases me so.
Photography is starting to turn into a small business, which also pleases me.
I'm pushing myself to finish vocal coaching so I can update to advance singing, woo!
Oh yeah, I'm accepted at Capilano U. :D
Anyways, I've learned quite a bit over past few weeks. Whether it's simply growing up or I'm finally coming to my senses. I've taken a new outlook on my life.
... I promise I'll finish that tomorrow, I'm sleepy and need to go to bed. However, my insomnia is back so we'll see how well that goes tonight.
I will push myself.
I will practice.
I will not give up.
I need to stop procrastination.
I need to get my priorities right.
You are Alice, from Lewis Carroll's timeless masterpiece. You're an inquisitive person with a great sense of empathy and compassion. You have a deep, but quiet, love for others, especially the less fortunate. Some might criticize you for being headstrong, but most see your boldness as an endearing quality. You don't always fit in with the rest of society, but you follow your heart, and you have a good head on your shoulders. Although you occasionally have to struggle to find your place in the world, you never compromise your integrity. You are who you are, love it or leave it.

Couldn't be more right.
First off: my normal long hair. same length but some layers in.
second: same length, maybe some layers and bangs in the front.
third: same length, layers and side bangs.
Also, got to love the power of photoshop. :D
I messaged one of the band members if they could email me a statement, as to way I need to be there. :D
Prayer, prayer, prayer. I can't do anything else but I'm praying God sort it out. I will admit, it is my fault for not getting my documents faster. I just got caught up with summer and forgot. I'm just really praying it all works and I'll be able to go.
Pictureee of how it many look.
Also, I have prayer requests. I'm having problems with my passport being accepted as I don't have any other picture ID to verify. I'm going tomorrow to get my Enhanced Driver's License. Prayer that even though I don't have it, that they will make an exception. Prayer also for my grades regarding the transcript.
Also: financially, socially, physically and mentally... frick. I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe God will carry some wisdom through the melodies of Matt Thiessen, Bryce Avary or Jon Foreman.
I'll elaborate more on the next blog.
PS. BOYS ARE STUPID CREATURES.
Sad death = Trish, Sully, Danny
Emotional death = Henry
Killer revealed = Henry
Wakefield's Child = Henry
So, I was kinda right. I was thinking it was Henry until someone mentioned that it may not be the same person.
BUT YAY ABBY AND JIMMY!
I want this show on dvd as soon as it comes out.
if you don't ignore this post.
Survivors as of Ep 11: Danny, Sully, Shea, Madison, Trish, Henry, Abby and Jimmy. oh and that creep Wakefield.
Someone had this on the discussion, and it's pretty much copy and paste cause I agree.
Gory death = Danny or Wakefield
Sad death = Trish
Emotional death = Jimmy (I really really don't want this to happen, but I think it's inevitable)
Killer revealed = Henry or Sully or Madison
Wakefield's Child = Henry
Sad death = Trish
Emotional death = Jimmy (I really really don't want this to happen, but I think it's inevitable)
Killer revealed = Henry or Sully or Madison
Wakefield's Child = Henry
I have no idea who is going to survive. But i just want Abby and Jimmy to live. <3
____________
*EDIT*
Accomplice: Sully or Madison
Child: Henry

okay. there we have it.
I'm so used to being so jammed pack with school work seven days a week, that this new freedom is somewhat frustrating. What would usually be a Saturday night of studying is now me painting my nails.
HAVE A LOOKSIE! I like 'em. They were originally a bright orange, then I put some gold on top... followed by a decision to do black french tips.
So I'll be a n00b and double post.
Because I will be free for the next few months, I'd thought I'd make a to-do for the summer. Anything from what I need to do, to what I want to do. Should be a fun summer.

It's quite sad when you go out of your way to make someone's last week the best it can be. Only to be shot down, talked behind your back, have your 'best friend' say rude things about you while you sit next them (thinking you can't hear them) and then to be deleted off facebook.
Seriously. Really, are people this immature? Are they that pathetic, that they need to treat people like this? It's about time people grew up. I'm happy I'm leaving that school, good riddance. Breaks my heart how Christians can not show love to one another when above all, Jesus even said it is the great of the commandments in the Bible. If this is how we treat each other, how do we expect to love the world and to minister to those with broken heart? If you can not love, you are nothing.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.1 Corinthians 13: 1-3
I tried my hardest, regardless of the circumstances I passed?
Who knows, I'm praying to God that he'll keep the mark up to let me graduate.
Dear Calculus,YOU SUCK.Love,Natahsha
I have three tests scheduled today. I ended up studying for 8 hours yesterday just on trig alone, along with completing two tests earlier. I'm good at all the units, except trig. Trig is what I went tutoring for, tutoring gave me 4 assignments with a 55% average. Well, I hope it pays off today. SO HAPPY TO FINISH.
WOO! Grad 09 <3
Here's an example of how it's supposed to be:

Also, I get to sing 'Amazing Because It Is' by The Almost. I even have a mini choir to sing on the chorus', I'm so stoked.
Actually, why I've been odd over the past few days revolves around this situation. In an effort to create a scrapbook for him, throw a goodbye party and to spend time with him... it's earned me a big ole' target on my back. Everyone from his siblings to the teachers have been in a constant attack against me. I have no idea why, but lately it seems that all my work accomplished in Lent has been thrown out the window. Initially, I was going to skip tomorrow, but I found out tonight that tomorrow is his last day. So, I'm forcing myself to go. There's a huge story that will probably continue tomorrow which has led me to deactivate Facebook and get off AIM. I know that I over exaggerate, but how am I in the wrong for wanting to create memories for a friend? I understand that it is a lot of emotion baggage right now and it's very difficult on everyone. I mean, doesn't everyone who moves have a goodbye party? I got questioned for my motives and people asked me why I am putting so much effort in. I'm simply trying to stay positive in this situation. Of course I'll miss him, he's like a little brother to me. But, I don't want to cry and reminisce about the past, only to scare and frighten him. I want him to leave knowing that God has a plan for him. Success in the future and a path that will lead him into the Glory of God. We will miss him, and we will cry. However, this is a beginning of a beautiful chapter in a life. A chapter of opportunities, rebirth, faith and love.
I say too much without thinking. Also, I just reactivated my facebook. I SUCK AT SELF DISCIPLINE.
You know what's sad? No one talked to me at school today, except for the grades 9 and under. One teacher even decided to start a fight about 2 minutes after I walked into the school. But as soon as I got onto AIM, I have three convos that pop up immediately. Pathetic, eh?
Also, I'm giving up AIM for 3 weeks.
Today is day 21, let's see how I do.
P.S., I wanted to blog about something but it's 8 in the morning and I kind of have to eat/shower/get ready for hell. *cough* I mean school.
- Finish two more geo assignments and then all the tests.
- finish two calculus assignments and then tests. D:
- study for english government exam
- business plan for entre
- and a marketing assignment that i lost
The plan is that, Geo will be finished by Friday. Monday the latest for tests. Then, next week is pretty much devoted to calculus. Hopefully next week the assignments will be done and maybe 2 tests? Then that just leaves 5? OH MY GOODNESS. Then, after it's pretty much, wait. Okay, this is my OCD kicking in.

I think that sounds about right.
OMG. JUST KILL ME NOW.
I found out last night and to my surprise, I was laughing and smiling. Laughter is a healing medicine, it seems that everything that happened before meant nothing. By the grace of God, I'm moving on with my head up and with a striking confidence. It seems that everything that happened, is apart of past. There's nothing I can change, but I can learn and guard my heart. You know, if he's happy I should be happy for him. I mean, that's what friends do, right? Either way, the mercy of a creative master and director has orchestrated something magnificent. It turns out for the best, now I have one less thing to think about. He's gone and I can move on.
Last night, I prayed out to God for forgiveness and wisdom regarding relationships. I need to be a better person, God needs to shape me into a woman who radiates his love. I'm so sick of being told that I'm 'undateable'. There's still so much that needs to be done in me. My attitude to how I present myself, God has a lot of work to do in me. I just pray that I'll be able to grow into a new person who has a change of heart. I want to be the girl that other guys are jealous of. I want them to see me for my heart and who I am.
I don't want to like him as of right now, cause I don't know where he stands.
I don't know if they are official.
I don't even know what I want.
There's a part of me that still wants him, yet there's another saying wait..
and another telling me to simply get over it.
Everything was fine, until a week ago.
I was well on my way, to moving on.
I want to be friends, but I want to know if we could be more.
That's what bothers me, the fact that I'll have to wait around.
Also, I REALLY need to stop blogging about him.
- Reports came in, I made honours.
- My uncle passed away last Sunday
- My mom is in Fiji until the 16th
- I love baking blueberry muffins
That is all.
Last night, I had an amazing prayer. Just tears and all my concerns and hopes poured to God and placed into God's hands. My life is his story, and he will write every chapter. I leave it at that and in the meantime I need maturity to get through the situation. This is not the end of it, and there will be the next 2-3 years where I'll be facing both HIM and HER. The feelings won't completely go away, but I can push them aside. You never know, I just might find someone that will make him seem like scum. I give it to God, my life in his hands.. forever.
'So just take my time and use it, I'm ready... So, in this hour, everything I will do will be all for this moment, everything's for you. My heart is open and will end... so take it.'
God, take this situation and turn it around
Don’t let these hands fail me again
I’ve ran to look for an answer,
But instead I ran away from the truth
These excuses won’t save me anymore
I want to start over, give me this second chance
turning into...
waiting. praying. believing.
I've never been so happy. This is weird, the smile on my face and the glow. Pray for me, and if you know about the current situation... please pray with me. I wake up in the morning praying, go to sleep praying. There is something different about this one, and I refuse to let it go.
Also, I over react and get my signals mixed.
I don't know what to do, it seems getting all giddy about the situation, jinxed it.
THANK YOU JON FOR SHAVIN' YER BEARD.
Relient K's Video
Also, Jennifer... I found 3 'new' FF5 songs. It has two remixes and a new version of an old song. I want to send them to you. So after your Facebook lent, I'll find a way to send 'em.

Also, my teacher gave me a necklace that's a rectangular stick, and on the sides it says,
'Go Confidently, In The, Directions Of, Your Dreams.'
I'll cherish it forever.
Here's what I got:A pair of silver sneakers (haha... dude i'm pimpin')Saved By The Bell (seasons 3+4 and 5) each $12.99. :]TWLOHA shirt in blue.Underoath shirtParamore All We Know Is Falling Vinyl LPBlack t-shirt that says in gold foil, 'LIVE LIFE... to the fullest'another black t-shirt that says 'Free Your Mind.. and the rest will follow'Bikini top from Target, (although I always hide myself under a black tank top)A Bible for $1.00 and some Sunday School stuff for EasterYeah, that's it.Also, I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. I need a trim, my ends are so fried. Plus, my birthday party. Then Saturday, two shoots.ALSO. BABY B. she's so cute. We had the shoot yesterday, she is absolutely beautiful.
Song from Underoath, back from 1999. Inspiring, honest, and captivating.
I wait for my true love, but she never cameI cry for my true love, but she never cameI leave this world never knowing who she was, departing all alone..I'd just like to speak for a second and say that, um.. I just encourage everybody who hears this album to look towards Christ and not towards people, because people allow you to fall away, people aren't perfect. Theres only one person thats perfect and thats Christ. And I see people every day who are looking at Christ and blow Christ off because something that someone else has failed on. And its just not worth it, Christ has blessed me and every other member of this band more than any other way that I can imagine, or be spoken. Just the way everything worked out tonight was just beautiful. I just pray for each and every one of you, we wouldn't sit here and we wouldn't do this unless we wouldn't put the time into it unless it was trying to touch you, trying to reach your life and I just ask please just give your heart to Christ, and allow him to come in and just accept him. It says, “If you acknowledge that you have sinned and you ask Christ to come into you life, he will enter you life just believe that he's died on the cross for your and risen on the third day, and Christ can life for you and he with you? and I just pray that you just give him that chance to do that, you don't know what you missed, you don't know what you missed until you haven't had something and realize that its gone, then you realize what you've missed and what hasn't been in your life. And I just ask you please just give the LORD a chance to do that and I just hear a lot of people say that its just, I hear a lot of people say that its just you know, “Oh? you know, “this some religious person is trying to force this down my throat? well thats not our intent our intent's not to force this down your throat. We do this because we love you and we care for the people that do hear this. And I just wish everybody just to look towards it and give it a chance, and not fall out. There is hope, you can find it, and Christ is hope and your never gunna feel a void, your never gunna feel that huge gap and that void in your life until you turn and you look at the truth, even though you may not see it as the truth, I just pray that God will reveal himself to you and you can open your eyes, just as we were in your same shoes and he opened ours, he opened our eyes eyes.. just... even though it's this late you can't even speak, I just pray that He'll please just show you his power. This album goes out to just, the victims of rape and suicide, child molestation, people who are broken hearted, people who just cant handle life anymore and just have to fall on their knees every night and cry. There is a better way, and we have found it, please don't give up, there is a better way.Spirit of, the living GodCall fresh on, meSpirit of, the living GodFall fresh on meMelt me, Mold meFill me, LORD use meSpirit of, the living GodFall fresh on, meSpirit of, the living GodFall fresh on, meFill me, Mold meFill me, Use me,Spirit of, the living GodFall fresh on, meLORD melt me, LORD use me, LORD fill me, LORD mold meLORD make me, the person you want me to be LORD.

Help me to think for myself, to obtain knowledge, think! think for my selfSpirit of, the living GodFall fresh on, me
Also, for the past four nights I've been up very late. Hence, my late night blog. For some reason, I just can not sleep. My wanders off, and my imagination runs wild with haste. Thank God, I have a two week break. That's all I can say.
I think I lost the darn thing.
Ignore thissss.

I finally hopped on the band wagon about a week or so ago. Follow me, so you may be annoyed by my pointless, random palaver.
;D
BUT! I bought this gorgeous red plaid dress yesterday. There was only one in the store, and it was an extra small. It's red, plaid, strapless and hip hugging. I want to get my hair done up with stunning earrings for my birthday. I'm excited. Oh, I forgot to tell you it was on sale from $50 to $20. Also, I got three new songs last night. My friend Jessie and I were talking about music, and I decided to let her check them out. I've showed her my lyrics before, in fact she was the first person ever to read them. I wanted to post them, but I'm really finicky this morning. Haha.
Oh! March 28th, I get to have the house to myself. I'm making my parents own me the day alone. I'm going to watch movies, bake my salsa-cheese chicken and relax.
My blogs lack substance, STOP RAMBLING NATAHSHA!
ugh.
silly weather man.
I don't know if it is jealousy of not, but every time I have a shoot with this girl... I leave feeling hideous. My self-esteem goes down and for week I refuse to have my picture taken. She is pretty, I won't lie; but there's coloured contacts, revealing outfits, hair extensions and lots of makeup. I don't need another of those things to get attention. She's still gorgeous, me on the other hand, I'm petite, looks like I have no chest (but I do! haha. I just wear looser clothes) I look like I'm 12. Then again, our personalities are different. I don't go through 6 boyfriends in the matter for 6 months. Hence, why I never get any attention. I feel ugly. I don't need fancy clothes, fake hair, or fake colour eyes to get attention. I don't know what it is, maybe I am not that attractive or maybe I don't need physical items to lure people in. I'm just hoping it's my personality and heart that shine. I'm praying that the compassion that Jesus Christ had radiates through me. I want to be the sunshine in people's lives, I want to be the person that shows them the beauty in life as God intended it to be. I want to be a creation of God that serves purpose, passion, purity and personality. That is what I want people to be attracted to.
Note: I sound very judgmental here, I'm not trying to be. However it tends that all with all my friends, this applies. I don't know if it is something wrong on my end or if it's how how girl's portray themselves. I don't know, I'm just hoping a nice boy likes me for my heart and not my body.
Here's a shot. This shoot turned out really good, I'm glad my portfolio is getting bigger.
Also;; I have a new friend! She the wife of one of the guys from church. She's from Ghana. She's actually the cousin of a guy who is literally my brother. There's a complex issue within the family with the family seeing each other and what not. She doesn't have anyone up here for a friend. Every girl needs a girlfriend to talk to. So I've invited her to go out for breakfast in the morning. Some good, chatting time. I'll be a friend; a friend that listens more than they speak. For anyone that knows me, it is fairly difficult to get me to shut up. I like to talk, hence my love for the art of conversation. :] I'm hoping to make a good friendship, a valuable one. She has a heart after God, it's great. She's from Africa, what can I say? Seriously, you do not know worship until you go to a black church. The worship moves right through you and gives you such a exhilarating feeling. It's radioactive and it will stay on you for days. Besides the point, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's such a great restaurant, if any of you [my lovelies] come to Vancouver, we're going there. It's yum, haha.
Also;; first lyrics that I will ever post. SHHHH.
Are you ready?Ready to drop it all at the line?Ready for a new start?We're in it for the long run.You're not running this alone.
It's just the ending. Comments? I might take it off in the morning or something. I can't believe I just put those up. AHAHA. I MADE IT SO TINY.
OKAY GOOD NIGHT. :]
SO I HAVE TO WRITE THIS SOMEWHERE.
Tuesday;; Photoshoot w/ Gurpreet [11am - 2pm]
(leave phone on, to see if she's out of the hospital)
Wednesday;; Photoshoot w/ Ksenia [11am - 1pm]
Thursday;; Photoshoot w/ Keesha and daughters [11:30? - 2]
Friday;; Edits & birthday party for Jodi [6pm] stay over at Ashleigh's? (clarify!)
Saturday;; Mom + I, drive down to the States.
Sunday;; come back.
Also. I ate too much candy yesterday. I threw up. I haven't eaten for 24 hours. Well, we had lunch and that was the 24 hour mark. I feel like I am going to die.
I also have a few goals for this break. Considering that I didn't do it for either Summer '08 or Christmas, FINISH MUSIC THEORY. My book is right beside me, so I've decided to finally start and finish it. Also, I want to write 'better' blogs. Something that shows, growth, understanding and emotion. I'm a little sick of my little rambles, but I have no one else to share it too. So from now on, the goal to post my ramble but also something that has been in my heart.
I'm too selfish, I really need to fix this. I feel that God has given me significant purpose, but my selfish attitude stifles were God can take me. He can move my spirit, but my flesh is hindering it.
Also, I need to blog about my university updates. Let's just say, Capilano University was to be my University. Now, my friend wants to go. I want her to leave me alone there. I want new friends and a new social life. Go to a different school, don't go to mine! There's more to this, I'll blog it later in the week. Hopefully she doesn't see this. :/
Sorry, this is a pointless blog. haha.
This is enough for 2 people.
Base your servings as 2 chicken breasts per person.
Base your servings as 2 chicken breasts per person.
INGREDIENTS:
4 chicken breasts (leave the bone in)
3 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups of salsa (of your choice)
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
pinch of garlic powder.
1 quarter of a small onion finely chopped OR a few green onions
Uncle Ben's Spanish Rice
Olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 375°F
First, start off in a pan with a little olive oil and your sliced garlic cloves. Toss your chicken in, skin side down first. Pinch some garlic powder and salt on chicken. REMEMBER YOU AREN'T COOKING THE CHICKEN YET. THIS IS FOR ONLY BROWNING. Flip the chicken over, pinch some powder and salt, wait till both sides are golden brown.
Take your chicken out, and place it into a small baking dish. The chicken should not over lap, but it should fit perfectly. Get your oil and garlic from the pan and mix it with your 1 1/2 cups of salsa. Sprinkle about a handful of cheese into your salsa mix and pour it onto the chicken. Making sure the mixture covers the chicken on top and on the side, if not... just had some more salsa. With the last of your cheese sprinkle it on the top of your chicken.
Use foil to cover your baking dish and put it into the oven (375°F) for 30 - 45 minutes. While your chicken is baking, use some oil to sweat some onions. Then in the same pot had and follow the directions of the Spanish Rice. If you have some green onions just had it to your rice.
After all is done, plate and enjoy!
Hope those of you who try this, i hope you like it. :]
