The New Year and Such.....

Hey everyone,

Well my birthday was successful if you read my last post I was feeling a little philosophical and decided to express myself through a rant of some sort! Since the new year is upon approach I am going to try and write on my blog every couple of days to keep myself occupied and you readers happy. I've had a few people come to me with guilt trips on why I don't write often so I figured if people are actually going to take the time to read it then why not give the public what they demand! So I guess its my new years promise? Hm that should be easy (hopefully)!

So whats new... OH! My mum is trying to get me into going to write my drivers test but I think I have developed some fear on going to write it again since I've failed it before! I hate tests why can't they just give me the bloody license or let one of my mistakes go and say YOU PASSED! But NO they have to be anal and say you failed "GET BACK IN LINE AND BUY YOUR TICKET" *sigh*

So in a way I am kind of trying to avoid it and in some weird way I am not! I guess we shall see.
Another thing is I have bills coming out of my ass, they seem to just keep coming and coming and coming!

I believe I have bad spending habits, and am in need of a budge coach someone to say "No Julian don't buy that you don't need it"...Anyone up for the job? ...That's my money crisis for now!

as for Youtube, I've been hearing a lot of ranting and raving about this "Flip Cam" object...Perhaps I should invest in one? Since I don't have a proper camera to record short videos!

School starts back up next Monday oh joy... I am not looking forward to that but then again I miss everyone so it'll be nice to go back! I think my blog is long enough for now and its time for me to say "Ta Ta" I'm sure I will have some more juicy gossip in the next coming days!

A New Day ...

Within a few hours my body will gain physically another year to it, my spirit preparing itself to withhold another years worth of memories, pains, laughs, and nightmares. I shall again dream another dream in hopes to waking up to another place. I seem to ponder about "time" a lot, it seems to phase my mind during the day of my regular routines. I wonder why or how we age, who really determines that we are simply a number? Of course we are told we were born at such and such a time, but we were not.

We were simply alive for 9 months in our internal homes. Life is but a dream? In some cases it can be good, but in most its a bad dream, humans come and go leaving this world with or without a cause, but how do you mark an eternal placement within this world? Who will remember us 100 years from now, will we be an unfortunate race, a "lost bloodline" or a legacy of some sort that will be remembered through history but most of all in peoples minds?

We do not determine whats rightfully ours but in a way we are given a place where we receive rights and a sense of freedom?

But for today this theory shall be put to rest for the years to come and it shall once again come alive when the time is right, now it is time to lock yet again another years worth of memories into a life long pensive, that I have obtained since birth and now I've come to pay my respects and say goodbye to a forever gone friend I bid you adieu my 16 year old self. For I will never get to relive these days with you, instead I will be 1 more year advanced then I was with you and for now our playground is within our dreams.

Questioning Life?!

I write this blog tonight unlike any others I tend to write, to hear such news of someone of my kind, my age, a mere boy who has barely felt the transition of adolescence. Getting held up and killed for his possessions. Who in there right mind decides to take life from another individual, It is not my decision nor should it be others. Boris Cikovic, a 17 year old male was shot three times in a park nearby his home Friday October 3rd, walking with a group of friends through the park at a somewhat unreasonable hour, encountering a group of up-to no good person(s).... He was killed for something so..useless, a mere bag...Was it really necessary for this predator to commit such a deed? One thing I will say did you really have to go to that extent and take a life of a young man who had his whole life ahead of him, you not only killed one but three people.... Whoever you can't run for long, you will be found.

In loving memory of Boris Cikovic a young man I've never met, but feel that I'm able to relate to, may your journey and life in heaven be a much more successful one then you had lived on earth.

The Pissed Off Blogger!

To be or not to be...that is the question..no no...Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow!

This summer has been indeed a unique one, I am weary of the literary battle....It seems to me that it will never end oh why oh why...Do I cry out to thee?

Yeah Yeah Yeah...Cry me a river I know, I know....

So...the last two weeks out of three have felt like....brain stimulating boot camp....(HELP ME)...I don't know whether it's the (2) plays and (1) novel that we have read or the fact that we have written so many MLA formatted pieces?!

As of now I appear to be fine, but then what is to be expected after when this, tiring battle is over...SLEEP GOSH DANG IT! That what I am going to do , I have been deprived of sleep for the following 2 WEEKS ...2 weeks DO YOU know what it's like to lack SLEEP!

I don't think you do....try talking about going on with your day with about 2-3 hours of sleep?!
Yet I am still pulling in the good marks something indeed must be going for me.

With all of the PROPER wording(s)...

"Thus bringing the reader to a fatal conclusion that Holden Caulfield is indeed mentally, and physically unstable for his own well being. Fully understanding the route of his hospitalization was the cause of his disastrous downfall in the very society that had sworn to never become."

If I have to write ONE more essay I think I'm going to end up in the freaking loony bin like dear old Caulfield.

ANYWAYS....back to reality...
Besides the fact that I have gone mad....over my "bloody hands..." (Macbeth) it seems life keeps me going day by day..I have not yet gotten my Iphone, I've been holding out for too long I am breaking to the pressure..I literally had a finger Orgasm on Saturday just as I was leaving work...I want one so badly..But I don't know ...I'm still at a brawl with myself...

Besides that I only have about 4-5 days more of summer school and then I am completely free for the time being..until September GOD school is such a cinch. It keeps on going and going and going....

But August I have some stuff lined up for me, some university tours that I am to go on, sounds like fun I know....I'll be sure to bring a pen and paper to write stuff down :P.....and yes I'll be sure to ask the many annoying questions that they really do hate to answer!

But hey thats me....so I think I've taken my blog to the very next step..by writing...continuously over and over and over?! It's ever so long but yes to informative?! Maybe this is what my teacher means by being "To flowery" ...hrm.....NAH......Flowery ha. ha. ha.... anyways I hope to be more intact with my schedule now I do feel badly that I have neglected my ever so loving blog...but I have my reasons..and I'm sure it will understand at one point of its electronic life!


Well this is Julian reporting the day to day life of JM.......Gosh..I feel so FICTIONAL now...
Secretly I am famous in the Philippines....shhhhhhhhh.

And that's a wrap for today!
Signed Gossip Boy...
(I know I tried, give me credit for trying)...

Thoughts Of Expression?!

Well it has been a mere 24 hours and no "new" news has been reported seeming that the website (ruinediphone.com) crashed because of a over flow of page surfing, the servers simply crashed and the hosts exclaimed a mere message over over bandwidth!

It seems for now Rogers is keeping all "Hush Hush" as they prepare for the second wave seeming the website is back up after the webmaster signed with a new Domain Server..man gotta love "options"!

All we can do is wait and see what comes out from HQ for now the resistance is up and under heavy fire...will they be able to hold out much longer or will the simply take the plunge.

As today is July 2nd, 2008 it is also a very important day for myself, yes a new life! haha As if I start 3 weeks of hell in summer school, oh bliss oh joy. I will probably will not be on as frequent as I have for the past few weeks since school will probably consume me to the max!

I do hope everyone is enjoying there summer holidays for which i know I am....(not...) but what can I say things happen for a reason right?!

Well for my concluding statement I guess I will begin to discuss the matter of.....going to bed roflo!

yes bed GOOD'MORNIGHT yall!

Rogers pulling the plug? PR reps panicking for the uprise!

It's safe to assume that Rogers is behind the "unexpected" access denied to view www.ruinediphone.com...Only to buy them sometime, as the Online Petition was growing rapidly with thousands of signatures. Or we can just say the server ...crashed because of the high volume traffic, yeah right!

I've been keeping up with recent news of the Iphone 3G's crazy arrival to Canadian soil. It seems Rogers is moving backwards instead of forward? They have now released an official statement from a PR Rep stating that "existing Rogers customers can simply keep there current Data plans and can use the options of the "exclusive" Iphone 3G plans to attain more data usage?" It looks to me that they are starting to freak out with the HIGH but negative feedback on their insane prices.

With this being said, could all our effort to make a difference actually MAKE a difference? Or is this a mirage of some sort to makes us feel that something is being done, it looks to me that they are just doing this to buy time, sept its time they don't have with just a week to its arrival and selling date, will the Iphone be successful or will it plumit to hell?

My guess the more we keep pushing the more they will bend! As of now the petition site is down, but with a reliable source the site will be up simultaneously within a few hours, under a new server provider.

The swords are still clashing, neither side has yet to claim any sort of victory, how will this war end?

I don't know but will find out soon enough.

Back to Reality?! Iphone 3G...Dissappointment to many!

In about 12 days and odd hours, the Iphone 3G, however as Rogers/Fido motto something big is coming....! Beside the fact of there motto, something else that is much BIGGER is their outrageous Data/Voice plans!

I have been counting down the days for the Apple Gods to bestow their beautiful creations to the great CANADIAN nation, well ...not so great anymore with these ridiculous prices.

It seems many (including myself) seem to disagree with Rogers/Fido new *Exclusive* Iphone plans! It's really just down right shameful, to see such a beautiful piece of machinery being put to an absolute waste because of their monopolist masters! I myself was looking forward to waiting and purchasing an Iphone 3G on July 11,2008, as we stand in this time I can't but help feel that my heart and mind have been persuaded not to buy it.

I amongst many others have signed the petition that is roaming thee virtual world (The World Wide Web) yes you heard me the net!

Over 20,000 Unique person(s) have signed this petition Canadian & Non-Canadian(s) showing there support.

A man that goes by the name of James Hallen created a website, a massive petition in this case to persuade Rogers/Fido to reconsider there suicidal pricing plan, Click Here. Please show your support and sign the petition for we can only be hopeful that Ted Rogers will reconsider his actions, Many Canadians are furious with this matter and are threatening to Boycott Rogers/Fido on the release date (July 11th,2008).

It won't be pretty with the protest if Rogers doesn't something quickly, I personally will not buy a product from either one of the two GSM network Companies, as sad as it may seem they're both owned by the same company (Rogers) so either way your getting screwed over if you think your getting a better deal at Fido.

All we can do now is wait and see what "Robbers" cooks up next, will there next move be a much more satisfying one for us Canadians, or will they simply ignore the fact and loose hundreds even thousands of customers to its new Idol phone?

We shall see...

Pondering Thoughts Before Bed!

Good day everyone...It seems to me that I have weird tendencies to write at peak hours of the day!

It is now 4:25, and I suspect you are all in bed by now, I on the other hand am not, although as soon as I finish this lovely little blog I plan on hitting that ever so soft pillow and vanishing into the dream realm.

A few things on my mind, that I felt must be said before I go and wander off in dreamland.

I'd like to say Good luck to Rachel on her audition later today, I know she will do amazing and they're just going to love her!

Secondly: Life for me has been somewhat challenging especially this last week with me being sick and all, I sadly have been diagnosed with Bronchitis that has been living in my ever so precious lungs :( and I had pink eye..disgusting and sketchy I know but I am much better now, however my coughs seem to consume and restrict air into my lungs which at times can be a drag.....

but besides that life has been okay, I have some major assignments that must be completed by this weekend I have been procrastinating WAY to much, and I am only screwing myself over!

I've also talked about a trip a few blogs ago, well it still on the go, just the money isn't going so well I hope I can bring the ship back up from the depths! I can feel sun beaming on me already!!!!

On a much more saddened note, I am quite concerned with a certain someone, they seem to be in so much pain and I feel helpless, how can I steer them in the right way. I've stuck with this person for a long time and I just wonder what more I could do for them. There life hasn't been so peachy and fair but I am sure that one day happiness will find its way to them, I just know it will.

well I think I've concluded my thoughts for today, and I am long due for a good sleep, just so much going on in my head its like a never ending flow of electricity!

I say hello to everyone, and good morning. But it is time that I, retreat to my chambers and revitalize my energy for another hectic day!

Good Mor'night to you all!

Update ver .1

Well...

Lots to say..with such little time!

Well it's been a REALLY long time since I've posted on my blog..Well life has been good can't complain however school has been CHAOTIC my senior years are finally catching up with me and I don't have much time left either....with just little over a year I will be sending in my requests to various universities....and be.....nervously waiting for there acceptance letters!

I've been trying to...put as much time I can into school so I could get the benefit of really good grades...we shall see now that I am in my final term for this year!

it is really nerve-wracking ....

So (SKIN) was amazing...truly was the performance of all the actors/actresses were amazing!
Job well done...we had moments of...blank minds of people forgetting there lines and totally improving but nevertheless it went well...so well that we will be opening the production back up for a few days..Which is so exciting. I really loved my character, I got really into Mr.Lizard :)

But enough about that!

So I some how wounded up helping out with a musical called "Bye Bye Birdie" with only a mere week till production...I am worried these young lings aren't ready... The dancing looks superb but some of the kids don't know the script entirely by heart. We can only hope...that things will kick in last minute. As we are all starting to get "antsy" with one another because of production date...we try not to get on each others nerves because it would def be a drama withing a drama HA!

I am wishing luck to everyone now...(Break A Leg)!!!

So....I made a portfolio for a class...and I decided that I couldn't part with it so its still running. It will be used now for future events and I will continue to add things to it

(www.julianmanna.webs.com) feel free to check it out I will slowly be merging my blog and portfolio together so it can all be on one main site!

I am planning to buy a *FLIPCAM* so I could film videos for my youtube account (woot) I am planning to get very active with youtube this summer!!

I've pretty much fallen off the YT wagon I've been limited with time to make videos :( sorry guys haha!

But nevertheless I WILL BE BACK! (promise)
However now I get to talk about the more...exciting event of my life!

I'm going away for two weeks in JULY... (hopefully)...
Destination: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC "Puerto Plata"
2 weeks in paradise.......I can feel the sunburn now! lol

Yes I actually have to get my passport..I should get on that this Thursday AHHH!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Hey guys :)

well it's seems like my life is still chaotic if I can't keep writing everyday on my blog:)

I am off today because of the mandated holiday "Family Day"...so it's just a nice breather day :)
I have a busy week up ahead starting Tuesday...If you read my blog about my co-op placement well I might have been placed going in for an interview on Wednesday that should be fun but its all good I know I'll nail it :)


I also have been youtubing like mad lol I have even come up with a new idea of create a new separate channel but that one would consist of a youtube partner, or maybe I would switch it up have a new partner every week I am still thinking about that one tho...

I did this last year with my bestfriend and it was pretty successful but then we just stopped..

I have emailed her the propisition and she seems to be just as excited so all it will take is a few hard hours of work to see if we can pull something together..

this means I have to design the channel....
emails/myspace/facebook pages

oh fun but hopefully...we get re-popular with our videos:)

well I am off for now l8er!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day EVERYONE!

Well today has been a really surprising day!

Morning was phone..the roses that we had prepared last night....were like half alive HAHAHA
my hands are still sore :( There were some hidden thorns on the roses today and while i was holding them the thorn would get caught in my skin on my arm very painful the love was surely out there today!

Then we sold cupcakes! those were a huge hit today at school sold all 200 cupcakes in a matter of 1hr!

Then..here is were the shocking part comes during my co-op class a guy had...collapsed on the floor and was unconcious it seems ...He had been smoking a substance...and his body sorta just hit the restart button cause it couldn't handle the pressure!

so that was a bit of a heart stopper hearing a loud thump to the ground turning your head and seeing the guy with his eyes rolling, well hes alright so thats the good thing!


Anyways...I slept tell like 9:30 I have been EXHAUSTED galore!

but its okay I have a long weekend tomorrow a P.A.D

and then Monday is "Family Day" so everyone will be home that day....in Ontario at least haha!

hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day!

I know I surely had an exciting one!

Julian has enterened the building!

Hey Everyone!

I am alive thank you Jesus!

I am sorry I haven't committed any time to my precious blog...school has gotten very chaotic and very "TIME CONSUMING".

I've taken a grade 12 course which I think regret taking, it hasn't been that busy but the course outline looks HUGE.

Whats been holding me back basically is my CO-OP course, which is made out of 3 out 4 periods of the day.

I will be going into the field of teaching so I have been prepping and getting everything organized so I am able to go for interviews and hopefully get a placement and begin...my adventure as *Student* Teacher.

For the most of the 3 months in this program I won't be teaching daily but I will have my days where I must prepare a lesson plan to teach to the class.


I am looking forward to that actually:) It will defiantly be an experience like none other before!

I have also been very busy with (SAC) Student Alumni Council...basically I am on council..and we have been organizing VALENTINES DAY which is tomorrow YAHOO!

Love will def be in the air ha ha!

I spent 3 hours today De-Thorning roses....and putting plastic water tubes on the end...and then...putting them into...a bouqe ...I think I dealt with 250 roses :O My hands are killing they just want to fall off so many sores and cuts!

I hope everyone has an amazing valentines day!
I will write tomorrow now that things have slowed down a bit!

so I am alive :)

and will be writing daily!

see ya all!

Julian

Good Evening EVERYONE!

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't been writing....lets just say well my Internet was down for the whole weekend and yesterday IT finally came back online.

I was just exhausted to blog yesterday checked my email, and just went and relaxed.

Today was probably the most hectic day I've had within the months.

I attended a meeting downtown at the TCDSB central.

Where we discussed matters for next years and also had a political debate.

Exhausting I must say, hopefully things will return back to normal, these meetings are once a month anyways so it won't be much of a killer.

Exams are coming up and I am nervous, excited to that my first semester of the year is going to be over, and then finally my second one.... I have taken some interesting courses ....

and I am looking forward to it.

However the exam part which is about two weeks, isn't so mind boggling I really hate tests sometimes I freeze up and forget everything and all the stuff I've studied throughout the weeks...goes bye bye when it comes to writing the darn thing lol!

But hopefully all will go well and I wont freeze up!

darn nerves!

So I have been writing a lot lately.. I've gone over the edge just a tad :)
Well I am off for now, off to relax and ponder the streaming thoughts in my head!

See ya!

Julian

The Foresaken Hymm

Verging to madness, steering away from pain?
Why do I constantly keep at the blame?

Holding my inner fears,suddenly turning to tears
I wish it all away.

Desperately reaching out to only find my remain, in an utterly disgusting way.
I ask why, but still do not regain.

I wish to feel free and to love again, but only discover you are a mile away.

Hoping to see the sun again even though this is called a safe Haven..

Feeling the rain wash away my hurting pain.
Cleansing the soul of my utter demise.

Calling out to you, but hear no cry.

I ask of you, to remain, but yet you disobey.
Thrown into dishonesty,calling it quits...I ask again and again...for it all to just go away.


Knowing what I must do, I simply throw it away
into an abyss of firey pain....closing my eyes at the counting of three, and back again I return to thee!
