Time is passing by,
And I know that I can't freeze it,
I have to face my future,
Though I never want to be it.
I never thought I's see the day,
When I would turn fifteen,
But it was only months ago,
That I had woken from that dream.
Growing up is hard,
And time is going fast,
I wish that I could travel back,
Into my childhood past.
Things have changed so much,
Close friends have come and gone.
Getting out of highschool
For colledge won't be long.
I thought that I could stay,
Into my childlife forever,
but as I now grow older,
The idea has cut and sever.
I have to face the fact,
My womanhood is coming,
The thought of it seems scary,
but I must keep myself from running.
And when that time has come,
I'll still be, in my heart,
The little girl I used to be,
The child from the start.

Spring
I see tree buds
Very slowly blossoming
Into red beauty.

Summer
The air smells sweet of
Rasberries and white roses
Malting the springs scent.

Fall
One by one, red leaves
Start to fall on the lush ground,
The warmth starts to leave.

Winter
White tiny snow flakes,
Clump a white fluffy snow wall,
slowly getting big.

Yes! it was my second time backpacking to Alqonquin park with my uncle and father On the 13th of August. However, our trip didn't turn out how we planed it to be. Well, first, I got three giant blisters on my feet that were probably the size of a nickel. Two on one foot, and one on the other, (blisters can be pretty seriues because your feet are the most important part and if it starts to hurt through the middle of the trip, there's no turning back. Then, we forgot to bring part of our dinner that my dad prepared. We also forgot to bring our alchol stove. My dad's elbow was also pretty sore, but it didn't cause so much trouble. And to prove that mother nature really hated us, it rained two days, thought the rain was going on and off every so often. So we weren't really prepared, so we had to change our route. Instead of doing the 2nd loop trail (about 60km in total) We had to do the shorter route that my father did last summer (32 Km.) But it wasn't that bad. Unlike our last hiking trip, we didn't have to rush as much and was able to take our time. Our trail was a lot different than our last one, it was more hilly and had more coniferous trees. We saw a lot of other backpackers as well. overall, I really enjoyed it. I can;t wait till I go backpacking again.
Animals:
Now, did we see any wild life? Yes we did. Sort of. On our second night we were hanging our pack up in the tree, and we heard splashing in the water. So, my dad went to check it out and flashed his flash light to where the slashing was. he saw a pair of red eyes. We heard the animal coming out of the water and trotting on the land. right away, we took a seat and waited for it to come our way. It was really close to us, we heard it in the bushes. Then we heard this huge snort, and right away, we knew it was a moose. We were guessing it was a bull (male moose) and he sounded pretty pissed off because we were blocking his way. So he just kind of left. But man, we were so close, we were disapionted that he didn't come a bit closer to us. But, on our way to Alqonquin park before all this, I saw a female moose (cow) on the side of the road!
We also saw wild rough grouse, which are a kind of chicken like animal. There were about six of them. We were pretty loud coming on the trail, so we freaked them out.
We of course saw the common animals: Common Loons, canadidian geese, Rabbits, mice, ducks. Even though you see them though out the park, they're an enjoyment to see.
PICTURES! ENJOY:



This was at Gaskawa lake, my dad took these picture.
this is a type of mushroom or fungi. it's called Indian Pipe. It looks very graceful, but it is highly poisonous.
Sunset I took at Gaskawa Lake. beautiful.
Another side of Gaskawa lake I took.
After our hike, we stayed at a carcamp to celibrate for one night. my dad took this one in the morning
Oh, and this female bear and cub came ramping through our camp site! lol nah, it's just a stuffed bear that was in the resource center. Looks pretty real,eh? xd
this is just beautiful. This was a lookout at the resource center.

Hehe! A red tree frog.
this was a spot we passed on the
trail. I took this one on a small log bridge.
This picture is really neat! It's a yellow birch tree growing out of an old tree stump! It looks like some sort of Alien tree xd

((This is ganondorf's theme when he is about to transform into Ganon))

((Ganondorf is singing! 4laugh ))

*special effects: thunder and lightning*
*The instrumental background music is slow. Dessert Arabian like music*

Something in the fog,
I'm rising from the grave,
You thought you beat me, did you?
Well you better think again!

As long as I hold on,
This power in my hand,
Goddess! It's no use!
I'll just come back again!

It's useless to resist me!
for you there's no escape!
my power now grows stronger,
And my will has changed it's shape!

You're only hope is fading,
And now, you've crossed the line,
For I will come to see it,
That the Triforce shall be MINE!

Arise, beast of power!!
Feed on all this strength!
Then you're body I shall have,
And the sweet Victory I will take!

*A huge cloud of darkness fall in the scenary. Ganondorf is now changing into the great beast, GANON!*

I just came back from my backpacking trip through the highlands in Alqonquin. We did a whole second loop and it was about 45 km!!!!! I had to carry 18 punds on my back (not as bad as my uncle and dad who carried ariund 3o pounds!) Though, 80% of all the weight is being held on your hips, and the rest on your shoulders so it's easier to walk and won't strain your shoulders. It was my very first time going bacpacking, and I think I did pretty good! For those of you who don't know where Alqonquin is, it's the third largest provincial park in Ontario. Anyways, I went with my father and my uncle, we left on Wednesday. It took us three hours to get there. The first day, we went at a car camping site so we could prepare for the hike. The sites were pretty crappy, but we ended up getting a pretty good spot, except there was a highway in front of us! stare xd A 8:40 Pm, we went to a black bear presentation. A lady, who is a naturalist and has been working in the park for 5 years talked aout her experiences with bears and information about them.

On Thursday morning at 10:30, we headed for our hike. The first trail we did started off with a huge hill! I mean HUGE!! When your backpacking, it's a lot of work and your hiking for about 7 hours or so. We hiked for 7km b4 we reached a gigantic lookout! You could see for miles and miles on the lookout, it was very beautiful. Unfortuanatly, I can't explain everything that happend, so I'll make it a bit shorter.
We had a lot of ups and downs on the trail. you think climbing up a hill is hardwork, try going DOWn one. You had to be very carful not to fall because it sure as hell was a long way down. We did 13 km that day, and we were bushed! Our first camping spot was shitty. litereally. Not only did it have a crappy view, no spots to put our tent, but it was a mooses toilet! There was moose s**t everywhere. But we had no choice bc we were so tired and a thunderstorm was coming our way. It was funny b/c we were sitting under a small tarp in the rain, doing nothing under there for hours, we had nothing better to do but eat. xd At the end of the day, you just feel so beat, your legs ache, but I was lucky I didn't get any blisters on my feet.

The next day was a little better, but we were racing the clock. we started out late, which ment we had to move twice as fast so we could get to the camp sites before dark. It was a lot of work. There was a lot of hills to climb, and it felt like the trails were leading to now here, but we were luck to get a great campsite in the end. It was great, there was a climbing wall, great view of the lake, and was very spaciouse! Though we didn't see any moose, beer or deer. We saw sighn of it though! (moose tracks, crap, and even slobber! xd ) The next day, we headed back for home, and did about 12 km.

Overall, I had a great time! It was very tiring, but I think i did well for my first time! It's good being one with nature and getting out of the city. It's a great experience, and i'm doing it again in August for four days! It was great excersize! I lost weight, and I have gained a lot of muscle in my legs and back! It's great trying new things, and i can't wait to do it agian!
Here are some pics I took:




Isn't it just beautiful? That was just the oposite side of where the sunset was.

Breath taking. It looks like the sky is lit on fire!

The Millers

Sitting in the dinning room,
Chairs are rowed by nine,
The Millers family seeted,
Tucked in and soon to dine,
The thing about the Millers,
Is they never get along,
Always fighting, hissing, brewing,
Some carried on so long,
It seemed to be the same,
Eating dinner every night,
Mother and father squaling,
While the twins begin to fight,
Little Billy's making faces,
Young Jill begins to fuss,
The twins are throwing food now,
And grandpa start to cuss,
The eldest sister, Isabell,
Now chatting on her cell,
Throws her feet up on the table,
Then grandma starts to yell,
And here I sit in misery,
With all the fighting near,
As the middle child I think to myself,
"Oh, why must I live here?"

A song I wrote with the gerudo as the main singer! 4laugh

Gerudo Tango

The tune is different from the music in the Gerudo Vally, but it has the same type of Mexican melody.

*Gerudo woman sings slowly with a deep smooth voice.*
(guitar strum) There is no survival in the desert colussium,
(guitar strum) If you seek it then you better hold your breath,
(guitar strum) For as long as we Gerudo lerk the desert,
(Sings loud with spunk) The only thing that you will come across is death!

Deep within the desert, apon the blazing sun,
Finding hope within the heat, your worries have begun,
We are not forgiving, for if you cross our path,
Don't think that you can get away, instead you'll feel our wrath!

(Gerudo come from behind the background dancing with scarvs. Melody changes to a fast exotic tango)
((Chorus: Everyone))
We are Gerudo,
We spare no mercy,
We seem cold-hearted all the way,
And if it bugs ya,
We shoulda warned ya,
That in the desert it's just our game!

(continues to sing)
Everyday is just a little is a little test we make,
It gets harder all the time,
Though all the dangers and the risks we take,
Always end up in a crime!

Love is not shown in our nature,
We have no compasion for a soul,
It's harsh but it's a true fact,
That it keeps us fighting for our goals!

Don't think we care if you think we're mean,
For we hear it everyday,
It won't matter much to you though,
For you'll be long gone anyway!

((chorus))
We are gerudo,
We spare no mercy,
You think that we are far from fair
It doesn't matter,
For you will shatter,
So please make room for your deep despair!

Every time I think about it so,
I always start to feel so sick,
When I see men take all the glory,
It only makes me really tick!

We find them poor excuses for a creature,
They are so damm worthless as can be,
And we Gerudo can do without a problem,
To bring all of theses men down to their knees!

(chorus)
We are Gerudo,
We spare no mercy,
We seem cold-hearted all the way,
And if it bugs ya,
We shoulda warned ya,
That in the desert.....IT'S JUST OUR GAME!

I love going to my cottage! I've been going there ever since I was a baby infact, it was built before my father was born. My great grandfather, my grandpa, and my great uncle built it. Anyways, it's probably the only place in the world that I can call home. I'm just not into the city that much. The only thing I don't like are the misquitos, annoying neighboors, and retarted causins. Our cottage doesn't have running water, so we have to rough it a bit, but that never botherd me.

I just came back from my cottage last evening. I was there for nine days, it was great! I learned how to sail (the basics, like switching the sail, steering was extremly easy because it's just like steering a motor boat.) I went boarding....that's right, we tied an old surf board to the end of our motor boat and just rode on it! I tried standing up on it. I could do it for 30 sec, then I fall. my causin can do it for as long as he wants. I just need more practice! sweatdrop
I also jumped off a 50 ft. (about 15 meters) cliff near in a small inlet near a lake! First we had to climb the big thing, whih was really fun....then once you get up, it's time to jump! I was freaked, not petrified, but a little scared. took me 30 seconds to rethink my life and see if it really was worth jumping off, but I did it. I screamed sweatdrop but once I landed in the water, I wanted to do it again! It was sooo fun!! It's good to try new things and take risks. That's why I love going to my cottage!

I wrote another poem dedicated to Ishizu, I'll be writing another one of Marik (still working on it)
