Je suis assez fière de moi!! J'ai réussi à réparer mon ordinateur par moi-même!! Je ne sais pas comment longtemps ça va durer...mais il fonctionne!!!

Puisque je suis aller en fin de semaine au Québec, mais le temps est passé très vite. Donc j'ai décidé d'y retourner à la fin de juin, si je peux me le permettre financièrement!!!

Avez-vous des suggestion pour des choses à faire le long de la Transcanadienne Jean Lesage?? Des places à voir absolument??? De bons camping??? De bonnes activités??

The weather is good, but was I able to enjoye it?? No, I've been on the go since Thursday!! I been shopping, karate, our trip to here, decorating the room for the party(we were celevrating my grandma 80 birthday), having my hair done, shopping for my goddaughter gift, the party, and now, I should get in the shower, because I think we are going to eat for breakfast at my uncle place, and we are leaving back home today!! And tomorrow, I'm gonna sleep, but I'm working in the afternoon!!!
It's fun seeing all my family, but this trip is tireing!!
And to add more to this week madness, my computer is broke down!!! It's been repared like only 8 month ago!!! What a pain in the ass!!! So if there is nothing here for a while, and no comments or answer to your comments, it's because my computer is at the doctor!!

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Shopping makes you realise some stuff

Like many of you know, I'm doing some karate

Last Friday, while I was trying some clothes, I laught at the way karate has sculpt my body.

Before I start karate, I had some big hips, big legs(that goes with the large hips) and had a little bit of a tummy. There was a difference between my hips and waist.

So on Friday, I was trying some clothes, shirts and skirt... While trying one of the shirt, I notice that I had some definition along my ribs, and it show more than before. You can start to see the muscles along two of my ribs. I really don't have any fat against my ribs!! But the tummy is always there!! I don't think I lost one inch of it since I'm in karate. I have some muscle along my ribs, but not any close to having some abs!! And the fact that I have some muscles along my rib, have made my ribcage larger!!

To add to that, my legs have go up in size like 2 inch each. They were big before I started!!

But I have to encorage myself, I never been so on shape, even when I was in hadball!! And I know to loose my tummy, and get abs, I have to stop loving and eating so much food. And to have the discipline to work-out outside of karate's pratices!

So here are some picture of me during our last two gradding:

-Me during december 2006 gradding

-D ans me during the gradding in december 2006

-Me during the last grading(May 8, 2007)

Comme plusieurs d'entre vous le savent, je fais du karaté...

Mais vendredi, pendant que j'essayais des vêtements, ça m'a fait rire la façon que le karaté a sculpté mon corps.

Avant que je débutais le karaté, j'avais les hanches larges, de grosses cuises(à cause des hanches) et je fesais un peu de bedaine. J'ai toujours eu un grande différence entre ma taille et mes hanches.

Donc, vendredi, j'essayais des vêtements, des chandails et des jupes... Lorsque j'ai essayé un des chandails, je me suis apercue que la définition le long de mes côtes était plus prononcée qu'avant. On peut commencer à voir les muscles de deux des cotes. Je n'ai vraiment plus de gras le long des côtes!! Mais le ventre est toujours là!! Je ne pense pas avoir perdu un cm le long d'ou est mon ventre. J'ai donc de beaux muscles le long de mes côtes, avec aucune pointe d'abdo!! De plus, le fait que j'ai des muscles visibles le long de mes côtes fait que j'ai élargie de la cage thoracique!! J'en avais déja pas une petite au début!!

DE plus, mes cuisses ont augmentée de taille d'environ deux pouces chacune. Elles étaient déjà assez grosses avant!!

Mais il faut m'encourager, je ne pense pas avoir été en forme comme ceci, même lorsque j'étais dans le handball!!! Et je sais que pour perdre mon ventre et avoir des abdominaux, il faut que j'arrête d'être si gourmande et d'avoir assez de discipline pour faire de l'exercice hors des pratiques de karaté!
Voici, aussi, quelque photos de moi pendant les deux derniers gradding:

-Moi lors du gradding de décembre 2006

-D et moi lors du gradding de décembre 2006

-Moi lors du gradding du 8 mai 2007

La semaine dernière, j'ai terminé le livre "Sarah: La bible au féminin,tome1" . Ça fesait un bout que j'avais vu la série, et je voulais voir ce que c'était. J'étais fière, car finalement on relatait l'histoire de la Bible, sans mettre les femmes en arrière-plan!
Lorsque je l'ai terminé en travaillant(et oui, il y a des journée ou je travaille très fort, j'ai lu environ une centaine de pages pendant que je travaillais! Pourquoi?? J'avais un stagiaire dans la classe ou je remplaçais) , j'étais comme il y a rien de vraiment religieux la-dedans!! Et il y avait rien de censuré!!!
Donc voici un résumé: Sarah, ou Saraï, est la fille d'un riche d'Ur... Elle apprend ou début du livre qu'elle doit se marier...Elle tente de s'enfuir et lorsqu'elle sait que ne peut plus fuir, prend un mélange d'herbes supposant arrêter le sang des épouses pendant quelques lunes... Pendant cette fuite elle rencontre Abram(l'Abraham de la Bible) et c'est le coup de foudre...
Mon passage favorit?? Un qui démontre que le livre n'est pas censuré:
Lors d'un discussion avec le pharaon, Le pharaon demande à Abram comment peut faire un dieux unique , il lui dit en parlant d'un de leur dieu:"il s'est masturbé et a crée l'air, le ciel et la terre que nous connaissons. Le reste de sa semence est devenu les fleurs et différentes plantes." Un peu plus tard dans la même partie, le pharaon dit à Saraï après qu'ils aient passé la nuit ensemble et qu'il ait su qu'elle était mariée:"Tu vient de te punir toi même. Tu vas devoir vivre avec le souvenir de cette nuit et du plaisir que je t'ai procuré."
Ça fait du bien de voir des passages de l'histoire de la religion chrétienne sans censure et de voir l'importance de la femme dans les évènements importants de la religion qui est la mienne!

Disapointed

So last wednesday was the finaly of America Next Top Model. And who won?? Jaslene... I was not impress at all... From all the girl, she is the one that had the worst body. Like I said before in a comment to Haley: "I think my 3 and 4 year old nieces have a bigger waist than her!!" She is not proportionate at all. And like the judges said before, she doesn't have the spark anymore.
I was sad because even if they were not my favorite at all in the start, Renée and Natasha was my favorite by the end!!
What else can I say...

whoa oh oh Tequila Maria!

So today I went to my grandma, and at the same time saw my cousin at the same time... We went out eating and we started to talk about summer and the plan about for the summer. One of the thing summer always tend to bring, is party, and well drinking.
She said that we should have a party at the camping ground... And suddenly, out of the bloom, I wanted tequila!
I hear your thoughts, saying right now, "you were thinking of driking, and tequila is alcohol, it's normal you crave it"
First, I don't drink tequila very often. And second, I don't really like tequila...
I wanted some so bad!! Last time I had some, I was like yuck!!
Does that mean I need a drink fast?? Does that means that I need to get drunk very soon??
If you want to have a drink with me, leave your message, and bring some boost, and great drink recipes!!!

Think before you talk

On Thursday, I bought a pushing bag with a base. Earlier today I had a chance to try it! I almost walk it. When I kick it, it move, even if the base was fully loaded with water. In the 5 minutes, it had move like 10 feet!! At I had a blast hitting it with no restain.
This made me thought about something my cousin said a couple of year ago. The guy is like 6foot3, 6 foot 4 and is not a tiny guy. I don't know what we were talking about, but the conversation came to martial art.He said "There is no way a girl could kick a man and hurt him! She is tiny and he is huge, the is no way she could kick his ass!"(something like that, I don't remember the exact word, it's been more than 4 years!!)
Ok, I might not be a small girl, that weight an 120 pounds wet, but I can hurt any man as bad as a man with my kick. I might not hurt you with a punch, but I have a powerfull kick. If I can move a punching bag 10 feet in 5 min...
I would always remember one of the first time we use the punching bag at the small english karate class. One of the second degree black belt was holding the bag, and when I kick, he back up, and was suprise of hte strenght of my kick.
So boys, watch and think before you talk. Girls and Women can be as powerfull as you. We might not have the muscular weight that you have, but that doesn't mean that we are not as powerfull as you! I remember one woman that almost knock out a man with a single punch while sparring for a belt!!
A big weakness you can show in karate, is underestimating your opponent!! Know your strengh, know your weakness, but do the same for your opponent!!

Is master sanseï blind??

Well, on Tuesday, it was our grading... I did my freestyle, it started bad, I almost lost completely my balance, and that made me wondering more for my moves than usual, and like screw up my rythm. And for the sparring, I was with my brother in law!!! Even if he is a brown belt, and I was a green, we always enjoye it... Even if he is my in law, we have more a big brother- little sister relationship... So it's always fun to kick his ass!! My cousin , the one that punch me in the face, had the gust of saying to him that he has to go smooth on me(afterward, he told my BIL that he was rought on me!!) Back to the sparring!! The first hit I recieve was on the leg, and it hurt all the way trhought the pratice(I have a bruise now!!) I still did 4 point(for you, unfamiliar with martial art and karate, I was able to touch/hit him 4 times without being block).
After my sparring(the higher belt would have their gradding Monday) we had a little break. Then, it was time for the comment, the certificate and our new belt... Since I was the highest belt that was grade, I was last to receive my belt. It is when I saw my instructor searching for two belts. Master sanseï say to me " I was really impress by you, so I had to give you your 2nd blue belt", I was like "What?" I look a my instructor, who was giving me the two blue belt, and look to the score sheet. Wrote over the 1st, there was a 2.
i don't think I deserve the score that I got!! And I really know I'm not ready for all the things that go with being a 2nd blue belt!! My blocks suck big time!! They are ok when I'm with a lower belt, but when I'm with a higher belt, I only block like 1 out of 3 moves!! Why does master sanseï doesn't see that?? Am I the only one that is seeing my mistakes???

Tanya, I did it!!

And I know that Haley, you are going to be proud of me too!! So Saturday, I was in Moncton, because I went with my nieces to the Crystal Palace. Fun, but exhausting!! And those rides are not made for adult... I barely fit in most those!!
Back to my point of interest. In the building of the Crystal Palace, there is a Chapters with a Starbuck! Since I was tired when I was about to leave, and still got a good car ride to come home, I decided to try the Starbuck. Since I'm not a cofee or cappucino lover, I was proud to see a coffee alternative section. I took a Caramel Apple cider! I was delicious!! Every drink I took was a delight!! I know understand your adiction to this coffee shop. On Sunday, I wanted more of CAC!!I will have to find excuses to go back to Moncton!!
Any suggestion for my next visit??

Et je sais qu'Haley, toi aussi, tu vas être fière de moi!! Samedi, je suis allée à Moncton, car mes nièces allaient au Palais Crystal et je voulais aller m'amuser avec elles. Amusant, mais épuisant!! Et ces manèges ne sont pas fait pour des adultes... j'entrais juste dans la majorité d'entre eux!!
Retournons à mon point principal. Dans l'immeuble du Palais Crystal, Il y a un Chapters avec un Starbuck! Puisque j'étais fatiguée lorsqu'est venu le temps de m'en aller, et que j'avais un bon bout de route à faire, j'ai décidé d'esssayer le Starbuck. Puisque je n'aime pas le café ou les cappucino, j'étais fière de voir une section d'alternatives de café. J'ai choisi de prendre le cidre de pommes caramilisé! C'étais délicious!!! Chaque gorgée était un pur plaisir!! Maintenant je comprends votre addiction à ce restaurant. Dimanche, je voulais plus de ce cidre!! KJe vais devoir me trouver des excuses pour aller à Monctont!!!
DEs suggestions pour ma prochaine visite??
