So I recently had the opportunity to go to Scotiabank Arena (home of the Toronto Raptors and the Toronto Maple Leafs) and play on the court, get an arena tour and talk to the officials behind the Toronto Raptors program. Being a huge basketball fan and a player, this was a dream experience for me.Continue reading “Scotiabank Arena”

Spray War, Abu Dhabi
Picture the scene. A highway with such a bad traffic jam that no car is moving. It’s so hot that people are sticking their heads out of windows and trying to catch a breeze. There are some teens that are actually walking around. Oh, and did I forget to mention? They are all armed withContinue reading “Spray War, Abu Dhabi”
My First (and hopefully not last) Camping Trip
I’ve never really wanted to go camping, but a couple days ago I was forced to, and what I experienced changed my mind completely. The day before our trip, I was reluctant to go because of mosquitoes. They have a tendency of finding and absolutely annihilating me. Sometimes when I go to the park, IContinue reading “My First (and hopefully not last) Camping Trip”
Boston 2024
On June 28th, 2024, 14 people went to Boston, Massachusetts. 1 of those people was me, so here I am, telling my story.

Day 5: November 13th, 2023 9:00am – Same old routine 8:00pm – Somehow, we ended up in the wrong resort, and started looking around.

Mexico 2023 – Sunburnt From Swimming
Day 3: November 11th, 2023 9:00am – Waking up early on vacation was not my idea of ” vacationing”. Ah, well. Wishful thinking. There was really no point in trying to go back to sleep, so I woke up. I yawned my way over to the buffet, and by the time I was finished itContinue reading “Mexico 2023 – Sunburnt From Swimming”
Mexico 2023 – The Beginning
Day 1: November 9th, 2023 7:30am – I woke up. Not because I wanted breakfast, but rather because I didn’t want to miss our flight. I was starving, but that was the least important thing on my mind at the time. We had to get out of the house at 11am but we hadn’t evenContinue reading “Mexico 2023 – The Beginning”
Decaying in School
PROLOGUE Allen was scared. His worst nightmare was going to the new residential school. His grandmother had told him stories about them, as she had gone to one. Now, knowing his fate, he entered the school. It was shiny and polished to the maximum, with nuns running around. There was one in particular that caughtContinue reading “Decaying in School”
MEXICO
YAY!! I’m officially going to Mexico on Thursday, November 9th, 2023. I’m excited, and not because the plane has a tv. Ok, that’s one of the reasons, but back to the main point. I can finally escape this depressing Canadian weather and go to a sunny place!!! For some weird reason I’m really paranoid aboutContinue reading “MEXICO”
