Hey guys, 

Happy New Year!!! May 2014 be filled with happiness, love and peace! :)

It's great to know that you're now starting off with a fresh new year! U can officially say, "STARTING IN 2014, I..." 

What is it that you would like to accomplish this year? Or at all?

START! 

I know that my resolution would have to be something to do with my health and fitness. 

But for many people it would be to travel overseas, visit newer places, and appreciate the new culture.

I'm positive that none of you will be staying home this year. So what places would you like to visit in 2014????

LET ME KNOW... It could give me ideas :)

Thanks guys.

3. Leg lifts! Workin your legs, as well as your abs u need that multifunctional exercise.

That's it guys! IF YOU DO THIS EVERYDAY FOR AT LEAST A MONTH, you will not only see a difference, but you'll FEEL A difference too! 

The best part: IT'S DO-ABLE! :)

UPDATE ON LIFE - My Recovery

Hi guys,

QUICK REVIEW: 

As some of you may know, March 2013 I tore one of the major ligaments in the knee (ACL) while playing rugby! 

It was the first game of the season and first minute of the game. Unfortunately, the tackle got ugly and I tore it! Left the feild, had to stop playing for the rest of the season until I was able to have the surgery only 3 months later (thanks to my coach and Dad). 

All summer, I was recovering from the surgery. Resting it, being extra aware of how I move it, and just being 100% careful to not re-injure anything in my leg. 

Rehab was the way to go in order to get me back in shape for this upcoming season March 2014.

NOW:

I've stopped doing physiotherapy at the clinics, and started working out on my own! 

Strengthening the muscles in my legs are my top priority when it comes to my health and fitness. I lost a lot of it due to the surgery, and recovery process (unable to run). 

Still unsure if I will be 100% ready to play again, I won't stop exercising! Whether or not I go back to playing, this whole experience changed me!

It made me realise how much support I really have, the many people who I'm thankfully blessed to know, and the confidence and hope that is gained during one of the lowest times in my life. 

It may be hard to understand this when I say, I'm glad I was able to experience this. IT CHANGED ME. RUGBY CHANGED ME. 

The way that I look at life now, is totally different from March 2013 - the day that it happened. Words cannot express the many great things that compensate for this bump in the road. 

So THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS WITH ME IN THIS JOURNEY TO SELF DISCOVERY AND RECOVERY. I TRULY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT AND AM OVERJOYED THAT I WAS ABLE TO GO THROUGH IT WITH YOU. 

:) <3

MUSIC - Song of the Week

I find myself continuously mellow dancing to the rhythm of MAGIC!'s new hit single "Rude".

                                     

IF YOU'RE A GUY you will definitely relate to this song in an instant!

It's about a dude in love, and wanting to finally marry the woman of his dreams! ..... BUUUUUUUUUUUT there is always that respect in asking for the father's blessing first ;)

IF YOU'RE A GIRL maybe this song can help you anticipate father-boyfriend chemistry, and make a better impression when they first meet... First impressions GOTTA BE SPOT ON LADIES!!! lol.

ENJOY! :) YOU WILL LOVE THIS SONG!

UPDATE ON LIFE - Torn ACL

Look at the centre of this knee....I tore that.

 

 

 

Hi everyone~!

 

I recently got injured last thursday during a rugby match with my team. Unfortunately, it was more serious than I thought.

 

Tearing your ACL is one of the worst things that can happen on the feild...this means I'm done for the season, heading to the surgery room, and walkin on crutches for a while...NOT FUN.

 

 

I've gotta say that the support that I'm having is incredible though. You can really see what's infront of you, people that care for you ensuring that you're okay, knowing that they all have your back.... that's the best feeling. Knowing you are not alone.

 

I'm a pretty tough cookie, but saying this doesn't make you weak. It makes you STRONGER!

 

Now I can wake up the next morning, not worrying about going through my day without one leg...but going through it with people that are ensuring your strength, confidence, and responsiblities aren't beaten down.

 

I'd like to thank those people who have helped me through it. You know who you are...

 

But as for rugby, .... IT IS MY PASSION. IT IS MY SPORT. and I WILL NOT LET THIS STOP ME FROM PLAYING NEXT YEAR.

 

My coach is the most amazing person, and I love her so much. She's so dedicated to the team that she'll treat you like family. She's helping with my therapy, and keeping my confidence at its highest.... and yes.SHE PROMOTED ME TO ASSISTANT COACH!!! OH YEAAAAA!!!! :D

 

But honestly.....things happen for a reason. And this....this is making me look forward to ripping up the feild next year. Most of all, it cleared my mind-- I realize how much love and support I have......friends and family. I'm not alone...

 

Thank you <3 I could not go through this without you...

 

 

Here's a clip of what it looks like when you tear your ACL...

 

 

 

mind you..... i did not look like that when it happened :P I was smiling, idk why tho lol....

I guess I could use practice, but what do you all blog about?!

I need some tips :)

I'll post things that I would personally like to see on other people's blogging sites... tutorials, reviews, relate-able emotions and feelings, tips, and interesting facts!

So, I'll try my best to continue!

SPORTS - Bargnani Needs Confidence!

Andrea Bargnani

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" -Toronto crowd at the Raptors vs. Pacers game, last night.

The game was horrific...just a plain disappointment to the supporters, teammates, and coach of Andrea Bargnani. We lost 81 - 93. WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!?!

And let me be the first to say that it was not all Bargnani. Like give him a friggen break people! Maybe yeah! His playing these past few games were not as good, but all the players were playing absolutely crappy yesterday....even YOU, RUDY! So, WAKE UP RAPTORS! You guys actually need to put some effort in your plays.

Sloppy passing, lack in defence, and obnoxious support from the Toronto crowd, like c'mon people! Basketball fans aren't loyal, so just BLOCK THEM OUT! 

I'm proud to say that I showed up to the game with my "Andrea Bargnani #7" jersey! SO YOU GO BARGNANI!

The thing with him is his CONFIDENCE.  Toronto Raptors supporters aren't doing their job right now because, yeah, he's not playing so well. I mean, why would he after all this crap from us. From behind my seat you got people yelling stupid things like, "BOOOO BARGNANI! BRING YOUR PASTA BACK TO ITALY!" ............ -_- really?

Let me tell ya, it pains me to say it, but I think he needs to leave. And not cuz I don't want him on our team, it's just that we all know that once he leaves the raptors, he's gonna build up more confidence, and beat the living CRAP OUT OF US! ---LIKE ANY OTHER RAPTOR WHO LEAVES!! Admit it! This always happens!

Right when they leave the Raptors, they end up playing incredible! So, you know what! GOOD FOR HIM~ If our constant judgement pushes him down to get a hand up from another team, then by all means! Bargnani needs to leave the Raptors.

It's inevitable; for the better.

So Bargnani, what do you think? Stay or leave us...

ENTERTAINMENT - The Walking DEAD!

Hiiii,

I watch the incredible series of "The Walking Dead"... I personally think that this is the BEST TV SHOW EVER MADE. Of course, you gotta give credits to the comic book series in which it is based on,

The TV series has a creative mind of its own, because I can tell you right now that they are "somewhat" completely different.

Now, for those of you who do not know what the Walking Dead is about, ...yup! You guessed it :D It's about walking dead people!!! Rick Grimes and a group of people are survivors in a world overrun by zombies.But it isn't a HORROR horror film series. What I mean by this is that, you will not get scared when watching it...I know it comes off as something that'll make you say, "There is no way in HELL, that I am watching dead people walking..."

.....if I get scared of Criminal Minds, and I don't get scared of this, ..... That has GOT to prove to you how "barely" scary this series is...

I can promise you, that once you watch it, you will get addicted to watching it, and you will not stop. IT'S JUST THAT GOOD!! 

The graphics are unbelievable, the characters have been portrayed extremely well, there's ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS  a story line (for those who think that it's the same thing over and over again [killing zombies], and you will favour one of the characters I bet you ;), and IT'S JUST

THE BEST.

My fav characters atm is Maggie and Darrel. <3 

So if you want to know more information, I will give you as many reasons as I can to make you watch it!

Watch it tmro at 9pm on AMC! :)

Thanks guys!!
