Long Weekend :D

So I've had a pretty bitter sweet weekend. I had a doctor's appointment, hung out with my boyfriend, and had sleepover with Caitlin and Mikeila :D We were all sick, but we had a blast. It's kinda funny how we go to the same school but we barely see each other D: (Ps: I'm addicted to making scrapbooks now :D There goes all of my money)

Heres a random picture of me:

Take care guys <3

School Photos, Pepsi, and Youth Group

My School Photo :-)

So today was a very good day because I got to meet the Pepsi guy that fills our Pepsi/ water machine at school. He was very nice, and let me actually take a Pepsi from the inside of the machine! Sounds dumb, but I thought it was pretty cool :-P Youth group is tonight and I'm very excited because we have small groups, and finally I get to be in the grade 10- 12 girls group! Senior High! Makes me feel a lot older then when I used to say Middle School. So my photo turned out decent ( thank you Lord ) I spent 32 dollars of my own money, just so I could get a photo for every single year until Graduation. Then I could put it into a scrapbook, and have memories of high school.

For a while, I have been feeling quite down lately, lots of stress with school work, trying to maintain straight A's, so I can get a scholarship in grade 12 for University. Career day really made me think of my future. People thought it was a dumb day, but I think it helped me out quite a bit. When I went to the Columbia Bible Collage course and the University of Fraser Valley course, I felt a calling to do at least 1 year of Columbia when I graduate, and then some U.F.V classes to become a Drama/ English teacher. I feel quite better now that I have a life plan, so now I just have to save up money.

Well, I'm off to do homework! Bye!

The High School Normal

So as you all know, I started high school almost a month ago. I had nerves, new books, and I was excited. New teachers, new friendships, and new lockers...how much new things could you handle at once? Well for me it was rough. I mean, fitting in wasn't too bad, since I had friends from grade 9 to cling to, but I met new people. New people that did make it a struggle to enjoy certain classes.

Then the old friends kinda changed. I mean, I know everyone changes, but it was disappointing. Sure I made new ones, but I finally realized I changed a lot too, over the summer.

Everything changes, the seasons do, foods do, and fashion does. I really dislike change, but it's how we grow, and learn. As for the people that don't like me, there is always going to be haters. You just have to push on, because they aren't worth it. Enjoy school. It's not just there for you to flaunt your see through clothes, or fancy shoes. Education is important. I'm not trying to sound all teacher-like, but it's true.

Even though it has been a bumpy road, I finally feel as I've been accepted. I still felt insecure about how I looked. But then one of my friends who I'm going to keep Anonymous, (you know who you are :-) ) said I was beautiful the way I was. Now this is a very hard compliment to swallow, because I do not believe a word of it. But he was very persistent. Inspiration is what he has given me, to share this with you.

Confidence is one of the qualities I haven't gain yet, but I wish to. I think the sexiest thing in a man is confidence. Even if I can't feel beautiful, I can still feel confident about who I'am. Thank you Anonymous, you've really helped, more then you'd know...

Everyone has views about themselves, and high school is tough. But keep telling yourself that everything is going to look brighter in the future. At least once a day, go up to some random person, and say "Hi". You could really change someone's day for the better.

I love you all,

Jobs, Nervousness, and the Countdown Until School

Well guys, I GOT A JOB! So I prayed and prayed for a great one, that wouldn't interfere with my school work and friendships. And I got an answer!

 I was at my favourite Chinese food restaurant with my Mom, and the owner has known me since I was little. He offered to interview me for a busing job. So I got my resume all ready and handed it in. Then 2 weeks later, I got a call for an interview. So I went this morning, and was very nervous and excited at the same time. So I did get the job because he thought I was responsible and mature :-D And I only have to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 5pm - 9pm. $10.25 an hour!

Well I'am very blessed, and happy to get some pocket money and experience. I thank God for helping me. See? Miracles do happen!

So school is going to start very soon. The final countdown: 8 MORE DAYS! I'm going to a S.S.S tour tomorrow actually. Very nervous, but excited. I got my favourite classes: Guitar and Drama.

So I'am very very very happy and thankful for all of these wonderful things that are happening to me. I hope that these experiences will help me in the future.


Thanks for reading this!

Love, 

Danae .C.

END OF JULY!

Well it is almost the end of July, and soon I will have my schedule for high school. Summer has been pretty uneventful, except for having some sleepovers, going to the horse races in Vancouver, and having some parties. A lot of people are going to camp, finishing up summer school, and going on vacation. But I'm stuck in Chilliwack. Oh well, I'm going to a wedding on August 18th, and it's my first one I've been invited to. I get to bring a date, and dress up, and get to take some pictures!

I hope you guys are having a safe summer break, and doing the countdown until school starts....36 MORE DAYS!!! :D I'm scared, but excited.

This is me, hi there ;-)

Summer Love, Diets, and Sunshine

Well, now it's summer. A time for ice cream, bike riding, and spending time with friends. Right now, my guy friends are just playing some video games, while i'am blogging.

I auditioned for the Sardis Secondary play, and didn't get a role. But it's okay, because i don't mind being in the background.

Lately, i've been trying to do more good in the world. Helping people out, having alone time with myself, and thinking about my future. I hope God has a really good plan for my life. I want to make a difference in this world we live in. I'am going to be starting high school soon. I'm really nervous, but i'm slightly reassured. I know God is by my side, and no one can hurt me. I hope I can make friends, my age and older. I want to shine my light, and show people that going to youth group is a fun thing to do. I've invited over 20 of my friends, and most have come back to vist and learn.

I've been blessed to make new friends when i started middle school. by opening up, and being accepted for who i'am. I have lots of good friends that help me with everyday struggles. I've had 2 friends recently accept God as their Savior. I'am so excited for them!

I also have known this guy for almost 3 years. I've been mutual friends with him, and have become recently best friends with him during grade 9. I found out that he is a Christian also, and goes to church and youth group. We have a lot in common. except that he is 8 inches taller then me! :-P I'm so glad that he has accepted me into his life. We've been spending a lot of time together for the past 7 months, and i've liked him for a while. I'am not allowed to date yet, but we hang in groups. I found out his liked me also, and I felt complimented. He is a very smart and sweet gentleman, who welcomes people into our circle. He creates a positive aura around him, and shines. I'am in love with this amazing person. He is right beside me, and says hi to all of you. :-)



So I say farewell for now,

Love people, have lots of sunscreen, and sooth your worries with ice tea.

Homemade Pizza, YouTube, and Mikeila Bellavance

Today, or should I say, this morning, I'am just sleeping over at Mikeila's house! We've made pizza, and just chilling around.

These past couple of weeks have been tough, my mom is still real sick, and was in the hospital, recently. It's put a strain on our family, seeing that I'm the only child in my family. I have no grandparents, neither close family friends, that live here in Chilliwack. I need prayer, to remain strong through these tough times. I'm so glad I have true friends to lean on. Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without God or support.

Today I was putting my testimony together for youth group, for next week. It stirred some emotions from the past, and shook me up a little. But then I remember you can learn from your mistakes, and that God will always forgive me.

So guys, this is just from me. Never take having a Mom or a Dad for granted. We are so lucky. I love you guys, all of you out there, just clicking on this blog to check it out...just remember. GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT! :-)

Signing off,

Danae Charlebois :)

Youth Group

So tonight is youth group, and my close friend Matthew Duguay is sharing his testimony with everyone. Really excited for it. But for now, i'm just hanging at school with my friend Kevin once again, at Spring Production... trolling on the interweb. ;-)

Listening to my friend Lexi sing is amazing. I wish that I could sing as good as her, I  mean then I wouldn't be as embarrassed to sing along with her :-P

But anyhow, the weather is just gray, and not exciting (that's Chilliwack for you...) At lunchtime it was warm and spring-like, but now it's still. The flowers are starting to come out, and the grass is starting to become more greener. The sky can be nice and clear, with white fluffy clouds. But not today...At least I wasn't stuck inside in Broadcast Media, around droning computers, and stuffy air.

But soon it shall be May, and summer-like, with more birds and babies being born. But then again, that month will be full of studying for the final exams...making notes, and memorizing science formulas, and remembering to create the perfect paragraphs for English.

I'm just worried that I'll have to go to summer school for Science...quite a bit harder then I thought it would start being. Thinking on the bright side, there are going to be more pool parties, all nighters :-)

Well good day all, and farewell

Spring Production :-)

     I know that I haven't posted in FOREVER, but I couldn't help it. I broke my computer....smart eh? Yeah, then I broke my butt....-.-.... AGAIN...So lately it's been hectic, with getting ready for grade 10, and finishing up grade 9. I'm scared for high school. But all is well, with all my friends with me! Prayers are needed!

    So, right now, you are probably wondering why i'm babbling on about my life as a typical Canadian teenage girl, but I guess i'm just excited to post something for once. I'm on my friend Kevin's laptop, in Spring Production! IF you guys are in the area. come to our "DethFrost". It's an awesome play, 'aboot' which is about heavy metal vikings/evil queen/Scottish people Greeks/French/ and LEGENDS! It's in May, on the 9th, 10th and 11th. So come out and chill with Caitlin, Kevin, Eric, and me!

  I have been keeping busy, and it's almost Easter! LONG WEEKENDDD!! HAPPY EASTER!

ROFLROFLROFL (That was Kevin :-D )

Live long and prosper,

When Things Aren't Going As Planned, Eat Pizza....:-)

So this week has been a busy, and stressful. But thank goodness it's Friday! But things at home have been a bit tough, so I'm just at my friend Eric's house for a couple of hours! We are just chilling, singing songs and playing guitar. we decided to order a pizza tonight. Still waiting for it...45 min wait....waiting...waiting....

But it's alright because they will come soon. Patience is a virtue and I still have yet to learn to be more patient. At least food tastes better when your hungry! I'm thankful for friends and food! Oh the pizza is here! Talk to you guys later!

2012 So Far

Well after many changes, and many let downs in 2011, this new year is coming along nicely. Been hanging out with friends a lot recently, and having a blast! :-) Been having stomach problems, so getting that checked out. It's been raining a lot lately...which sucks. But tryouts are soon for Spring Production, about January 17th we have to show a portion of singing, and acting. Hopefully I can get a good role! This year it's about Heavy Metal Vikings!
