If I could re-live one day. Just one day? I don't know where to start. Everyday is kind of like a new adventure, you know? I don't know if I would want to re-live a day because some things just happen. We look back on the memories of this day and think, "wow, that was so much fun". If we re-lived it, we might think "this is getting boring". But, there are some days that will never get old. For example, the day I was born. How could that get old? I wouldn't be writing this if that day never happened. The only thing that wasn't good about that day, is I don't remember it at all.

Another day that rocked was when I saw Justin Bieber live at We Day! Of course he was looking gorgeous, as always. He brought tears to my eyes. It also made me think about the people who live in developing countries. It intrigued me so much that I would like to visit Africa. This dream may come true as life moves on. If all this happened in one day it makes me believe that it was definitely a day worth remembering.

I guess everyday is worth remembering because so many different things happen each day. It still may be Monday, Tuesday, or Saturday but its a different day. Different days come with different adventures. And you can never re-live that. Remember the past, live in the present, and look forward to the future.

God Bless Haiti

30 seconds was all it took. Five seconds to second to see. Ten seconds to know. 14 seconds to run. One second to kill. It's more than just a natural disaster, it's chaos. We here in Canada regard this situation as "a horrible thing". Is that really what it is? 72,000 people have died, and counting. More are suffering through hunger, thirst, and the reality of the situation. Children have no parents, while parents have no children. They are all part of this tragedy, with no way out. They can't just get in their car and drive away. They can't escape the things that have happened. The only thing they can do is help. Pictures have been shown of the people working together as a community, lifting the rubble off of others. Taking the dead corpses and laying blankets over them. Oddly enough, some are even sharing the scraps of food that they have left with the people around them. They are all feeding off of eachother. Without people, we would be nothing.

Why? Seems like a pretty simple question right? However, the answers never are. Unlucky. Doomed. Unfortunate. How else can you describe it? We spend our whole lives building up, becoming a better person and making money -at least trying- so we can feed ourselves at the end of the day. If you think about it, we have more in common with Haiti than you think. They did the exact things that we did, but that all changed on January 12, 2010 at 4:09 pm. Everyone's hard work was shaken and torn until it was nothing. They spent decades trying to pull their country out of poverty, when all it took was 30 seconds to destroy it.

The technical form of an earthquake is when stress in the earth's outer layer causes a pushing effect against the sides of the fault. My form of an earthquake is indescribable. It's not like you can say "why would somebody do such a thing?". This time it's different. There is no one to blame.

We all know Canada is a very developed country because we have lots of resources and money to get resources. Between Canada and the U.S.A, we have raised over 58 million dollars for Haiti. Countries helping countries, countries working together, countries becoming one. It's all changing. But why did something like this have to happen to open our eyes? There's that word again, why? Like I said, the answers are never simple. But if we all just stop long enough to see that people need us, we can make a change for Haiti. We can be the role models that this world needs.

Nobody wanted this catastrophe to happen, but it did. So instead of wishing that it didn't, get out there and help. Don't stand there and watch, be the one that people are watching. God bless Haiti. "We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it." - Lauryn Hill.

Da da da daaaaaaaaaa. When I hear this sound, I think of super heroes! (you might have to sing it out loud to get the full effect). People like Superman, Spiderman, Batman... they are all men. What about women? Catwoman, Wonderwoman... and now... BIEBERWOMAN! Oh yes, this JUSTIN (get it, Justin Bieber, this just in.) there is a new hero surfing the skies. She goes from cloud to cloud spreading the word of Bieber love and making the world a better place one belieber at a time. Yes I did say belieber.

A belieber is someone who strongly believes in Justin Bieber and always will. Someone who puts his songs on repeat, and never gets bored of them. Someone who will stand up for Justin when other boys make fun of him. C'mon boys, you know you're just jealous of his amazing looks, heavenly voice, and the ability to get girls wherever he goes.

I would be Bieberwoman because I want more people to appreciate Justin's music like I do. Bieberwoman is trying to make that possible. People need to realize for that every hater there is at least 5 lovers of Justin Bieber.

Who Would I Be?

I would be, Justin Bieber's best friend. I would be Justin's best friend because I could be there to support him when he's going on for a show, performing for really important people, and doing interviews. We could also hang out after and just have a good time like regular kids do.

Since I am a girl and he is a boy, we could evidently fall in love. We would first go to McDonald's because he loves McDonald's, I'd treat him to his favourite order, a Big Mac. We will be sharing a McFlurry when he looks into my eyes, and realizes that I'm the one for him. For our second date, we would go snowboarding/skiing. Even though were not the best, we will have a fun time on the bunny hills. After skiing/snowboarding, we will drink hot chocolate. For our third date, he will take me to London where he is performing and we will chill after his show, and watch movies where his arm will be around my shoulders and we will fit like 2 peas in a pod. For our fourth date, we will go on a family vacation. Even though were not family, my family and his family will go together which makes it a family vacation. One night, we will eat dinner on the beach like a picnic and watching the sunset he will take his guitar and sing "One Less Lonely Girl" to me. After, he will put down his guitar and kiss me. When I am 22 and he is 24, he will propose to me at his show in Paris, France. We will get married under the Eiffel Tower, and have 3 kids. Two girls, and one boy. Justin will sing our kids to sleep every night, and we will live a happy, wonderful life. He will even love me, when I'm old and wrinkly.

So, this is what I would be for a day which would then hopefully turn into many others!

Did You Know?

By 2013, a computer will be invented that's smarter than the human brain. By 2049, a computer will be invented that is smarter than the human species. India has more honour kids than America has kids and technology is doubling every year. What does it all mean? Does it mean that we're getting to wrapped up in the technology that has been made today? Does it mean that we are relying on google and other websites to answer our questions for us? And if a computer is smarter than the human brain, how will we be able to use it? Who will we ask for for help if its smarter than the human species?

As the world progresses in technology, people are getting smarter in the facts but dumber in the information. We don't really understand stuff anymore, we just put the words together and think we know it. If we rely on the computer for all our communication, how will that affect our social skills because things are way easier said through a screen then face to face. This could result in same major social issues for people. When we get interviewed for jobs, we will struggle because we won't be used to talking to people. Or maybe job applications and video interviews will be done online. Technology is positive in the way that if someone is on the other side of the world, there are was to keep in touch with them like skype, ichat, facebook, msn, email and more. But, the computer is not going to be as simple to work with if its smarter than our own brains. What happens if technology crashes? When Blackberry goes down for a day, people panic and don't know what to do. They don't think to pick up their home phone and call because it's not something they regularly do because of the dependance on email and texting. If this happens to the whole world at one time, it could be destructive.

I still don't know what all of this means but if phone's are already increasing our risk of cancer now, I can't imagine what's going to happen later. It might not be safe but will it be efficient? Maybe we can look it up on google. ;)
