Takio Takav # 2 is out

Takio^Takav # 2

3 days, and I’m back at school, and I’m not even back at Yorkland yet. My mother decided that this summer will be the perfect time to go to Beishang and drop by Hoon Kow. I didn’t understand why we had to go on a vacation, I mean sure I wanted to go somewhere after all these years stuck at home practicing piano. I still remember the day I was discussing this with my parents. I was very excited at first when I heard I was going to Beishang and Hoon Kow. But then afterwards, it wasn’t so exciting after all.

“Why couldn’t we go earlier? So I can come back earlier?”

“Hun, August 9th? AHEM”

“Oh yeh, I forgot I have a piano exam. But why do we have to drop by Hoon Kow?”

“Hun, you haven’t been there for ten years, its time we paid a visit to your grandma and relatives.”

“Alex, your mother is right, and plus it’s only one week”

“Yes but it’s also the week I’ll be missing registration at Raycliffe and when I come back the next day I have to go to school. HIGH SCHOOL.”

“Hun, we already bought the tickets, and I’m sure you’ll do fine, its just grade 9.”

“Your mother is right, you’ll do fine. A vacation is what you need, plus you will love Hoon Kow.”

“No, I won’t” I whispered.

“What is that, Alex?”

“Oh, yeh I’ll love Hoon Kow”

The thing is my parents didn’t understand that I really wanted to go back to Hoon Kow, I haven’t been there for ten years, haven’t gone anywhere outside of York or Toronio for 6 years. The last time I was in Hoon Kow was when I was 5 years old. But I didn’t want to miss registration day and everything; it is my first year at Raycliffe. They think it’s so easy just because I had Chinese school there and my brother attended Raycliffe.

It doesn’t really matter now though, I’m in HK right now, registration day passed and I’m having tons of fun, in a few days I’m going to Disneyland before I come back to York, but then at that time, I won’t want to leave and I always had time to adapt back to going to school but this year won’t be the same. But on the other hand, it wasn’t like I would have came to Hoon Kow if my piano teacher didn’t arrange a concert for us in Beishang, it’s not like it’s a big deal anyways, I know no one in Beishang and no one knows me. Some of them probably hate me since I’m Hoon Kow nese. But I guess, I’m here anyways.

I have to say these past two weeks were fun but I miss Yorkland. I bought tons of things, but I never managed to buy enough souvenirs for my friends. And I have to say this trip was really fun. I got to think through a lot of things, mistakes and even high school. I know it might be hard for me to get used to high school and stuff but in 3 days, I’m going to Raycliffe and registration Day doesn’t matter anymore, it pasted and I had tons of fun in Hoon Kow. I’m glad that I got to go on this trip, I’ve been thinking a lot and I guess, I’m over the mistake finally. I mean I’ve made the mistake and now I know I’ve moved on. I don’t know if this is the “best” way to get over it but if spending a week of vacation with him got me over it then whatever.

I think I’m going to actually miss a lot of things from this trip, the consequence games I played with him and the place I stayed in Hoon Kow. It’s really small compared to my home in York but it’s cozy and comfy. And I also got a whole week of piano “free”. The atmosphere in Hoon Kow is awesome, I go downstairs and out of the apartment and I can go shopping or get something to eat. Now that I think about it, I’m going to miss Hoon Kow soo much when I have to leave. The view of Hoon Kow is very downtown like, you look out the windows and see tons of buildings with lights and Hoon Kow creates the more rowdy atmosphere while York creates the more peaceful atmosphere. It’s wonderful in Hoon Kow except for the fact it’s really humid and hot and the air conditioning in the malls are freezing cold.

I guess time really helped me here, without it, I probably wont be able to get over him or at least get over the fact I’m going to miss registration day. Or was it really time? If time is so precious according to a Chinese saying “One inch of time, one inch of gold” Then did I waste too much time getting over something?

Okay, for all Takio^Takav readers, and those who has commented, TAKIO^TAKAV #1 IS OUT!!! Yay! For new readers, enjoy my intro and takio^ Takav #1! So here it is <3

Takio^Takav # 1

This weather is awesome- bright, sunny and warm. This is what I called the perfect weather to enjoy a summer. But time flies by and soon, after awhile; I won’t be able to enjoy this wonderful weather and days. Instead I’ll be stuffed up in a school or a room studying my butt off hoping to survive grade 9. I mean, two weeks of summer has gone by already and there is only a month and 2 weeks until grade 9. And 2 weeks before school starts, I’m off to vacation, at that time.

Vacation two weeks before school and coming back the night before school starts, WHAT WAS MY PARENTS THINKING? Its high school, do they even care? What if I get lost and get the wrong schedule, what if I never get my student card? What if I get trampled over by all the senior students? What if all this ruins my reputation? Okay, so I know this won’t happen and don’t care that much if it did. But it is my “first” year at high school, I mean I don’t want to miss registration day, but no, my parents just had to decide that we needed to drop by Hoon Kow. I mean I understand if I’m going to Beishang for a piano concert, I might as well drop by Hoon Kow but it’s not fair.

And what is going to happen when my mom and I are on vacation, since my dad won’t come with us. What if he likes this house? And and he buys it? And then everything will be worst. I will be going to stupid Markhill, all lost and being the “new” student. I wish this summer would never end, actually I wish august would never come, and then I won’t have to worry about vacation, or grade 9. And I could enjoy this weather. Okay, maybe not since I’m stuck in the house practicing piano and my parents won’t even let me go out the house for 5 minutes for fresh air. They say “it’s dangerous.”

So maybe I’m just fretting over all this high school stuff too much. I’m just worried about it, but who isn’t? OK, I know, the whole world isn’t. And that is only because no one is going to miss registration day like me. Perhaps, I just got to chill, maybe things will be fine. I thought going to grade 7 was going to be quite hard when I was in grade 6. But I was wrong. So could high school be possibly the same thing? I hope so. Everything is going to be alright, right?

Breathe In. Breathe Out. My friends taught me to do that when I start to panic.

Everything will be fine. Nothing to worry about. Just keep calm. And I kept repeating this to myself louder until I got loud enough for my mom to hear me.

“Hun? Something the matter?” my mom shouted.

“Oh sorry, mom, everything is alright.” I replied.

“Are you busy?” my mom asked.

“Err, no?” I answered hesitantly. I didn’t want to say I was busy since I wasn’t really busy, and if I did, my mom would ask why I was so loud. And then she’ll start making this a pep talk, and that I wanted to avoid.

“Come help me with some packing, ok?”

“Uh sure.”

Ten minutes later.

I mentioned to my mom that packing at this time was quite early when she asked me to help her. All she said was we will be busy in august. What did she mean we? I am the one with the rehearsal concert, piano exam and school registration day. Oh yeh, no school registration day anymore. After awhile, my dad walked by us and started fretting over all this stuff about our vacation. It’s like they haven’t gone on a trip before. My mom is acting all cool about this while my dad is like blah blah. Just annoying. And what did I tell my dad about this trip? He just won’t listen, now he’s all scared. But that serves him right.

All right, maybe I’m just being stupid again, my dad is not fretting over anything and even if he was, he shouldn’t. He did come over and started to complain about how he has to paint the house. Ugh, I just can’t stop being negative. I miss Bernville too much already and it’s only been two weeks off from school and grad. But maybe I should be glad that I’m going to Raycliffe, at least I can let go of those not so good memories I had. (Oh, I almost forgot that I might attend Markhill.) Bernville was a great school well it still is, but it’s not “my” school anymore, I had many great memories there but there were those bad times.

I made many mistakes there, some that healed and in the end made everything better. But others that I made because of words that were said and for being dim-witted were the stupid ones. I don’t know how a few words could have gotten me into all that junk. And in the end even after it was over, I was questioned and no one understands. Well, he didn’t understand. Maybe I was just dumb to be brave, to let it out to him and to tell him the truth because he didn’t seem to care. So he did seem to care but he made me feel that I’ve done something wrong to tell him so late. Did it even matter? Those were hurtful words and not even caring about how hard it was for me to do this. I guess it was better to have it this way though, because at least now I know that I’ve made this mistake. And I better not do the same thing again. =

I don’t even understand why I’m still talking about it, am I still not over it? How come I can’t move on? I just want to stab myself soon. Mistakes and high school, how the heck do they think I will adapt to learn from my mistake that I can’t get over and adapt to high school on the very first day? Or maybe I just have to be patient, everything takes time, right?

Takio^Takav Intro

July 04
Takio (Takav) Intro
A little about the author
So before you start reading my first little writing of my stories… (You can call it the first chapter I guess), I guess I’ll just talk about a little about myself. Though there isn’t much to know about me if you are reading this, you probably know me pretty well. I have to thank a whole bunch of people who really inspired me to write these stories or entries. It’s not easy writing your feelings on a space entry and letting people know and have them say how we are complaining and I, myself don’t like seeing people complain about their life for every little thing and to not be a hypocrite, I’ve decided it doesn’t matter how much I think my life is like in crap, I’ll never write it in public. But I guess sometimes it’s hard. So I decided to try and start writing stories and putting my own feelings into them. That way, it will entertain the readers of my space and yet I can let my feelings out without being a hypocrite or hurting anybody else’s feeling. And writing stories doesn’t mean I put my feelings or the way I’m feeling about someone or even something. Most of my stories will just contain my opinions of teenage life and everything that could be happening in any of our lives. So I guess I haven’t really talked much about myself but well here some info you might want to know. My name is Alissa but I have many nicknames although I prefer you to call me Alissa in personal unless it is online etc. And of course I’m a female. And well hahaha I’m not married “yet” xD... I have a bro and developed a nice family through these couple of years at school. I don’t spend much time hanging with friends but I have done that more often now that my piano studies have calmed. I spend most of my time practicing piano for I am sort of a pianist. Other than practicing piano, I just do leisure things. It has taken me awhile to find some time to start writing theses stories. And as I write this, I haven’t at all started any part of my first chapter of my stories or main story. Mainly, this will be about one story, not sure of the title, but when my first chapter comes out, hopefully, you, my readers will have some suggestions. Along with my main story, I will have other stories published on my space when necessary. I may move my story blog to another site like xanga or maybe myspace or another msn space some other time because this space is my principal space where I have normal updates about my own life. So I will soon create a story blog site or something of that sort so look out for the site address on my blogs.

Many thanks to my friends and people who I’ve met throughout my life that have given impact on my journey. Once again, thanks and I hope you all enjoy my stories.

Takio^Takav Intro
“My life started here, I’ve never moved anywhere in my life but now as days and weeks pass before I start high school, and I’m worrying that this may all change once and for all. I’m afraid that my life will change and that this will be the time when it’s time for me to move and live in the 2nd house and 2nd neighbourhood in my life. Graduating from grade 8 was considered a hard thing for me, to let go of some friends who may not be going to the same high school as me, to start a new school life for 4 years at a school where you are the youngest. It’s not that easy to say goodbye to a school you’ve attended for the past 10 years. But now knowing I might have to start a new life is worst.”

One year ago, that was what I was thinking. One year ago, I thought it was harder than ever, but I guess I was lucky (or maybe not). I didn’t move, and I didn’t have to start a new life at a new high school. I stayed here and attended RayCliffe High School with all my friends that graduated from Bernville Elementary Public School. And I was wrong, letting go of grade 8 and Bernville and saying goodbye to those times wasn’t that hard. Today, as I finished my last few days of grade 9, I don’t wish to go back to grade 8 but those times will stay in my heart forever.

My mother asked and mentioned about moving again, my parents had been still deciding to move throughout the year but never found the right house. A few days ago, I thought everything was changing again, my parents placed an offer on a house in the nieghbourhood of Hamville. I didn’t like that house much for the reason I didn’t want to move and I didn’t want to attend Markhill High. But I knew I had no choice. I tried not to complain much because I already got what I wanted to, to stay at Raycliffe High for at least a year. But maybe it would have been better if I moved to Hamville one year ago, because now that I’ve been to Raycliffe and made new friends, it’s going to be even harder now for me to let go of things. But luckily, there were many other offers being placed and some people had really high offers so we didn’t buy the house at the end. Summer is starting now, and in a month, I’ll be back at school, weather I move or not, I’m determined to stay at Raycliffe, my brother graduated here, why can’t I?

I don’t even understand why there are soo many people moving to Hamville these days. My parents like the houses there but for I know, everybody else just likes the school’s there because they are said to be very good, well at least the parents think that way. I don’t really understand, for all I know, Raycliffe is the best high school ever, and our school is way better than Markhill High. All Markhill High has got is a special art program, and everyone seems to want to go to that school. It’s as if even if the kid is dumb, Markhill High can turn them to some brilliant student.

All I really want is just to stay at Raycliffe and enjoy the rest of my years here. I mean, there’s so much that has happened in grade 9 already, I’m sure lots more will occur in my senior’s years here. That’s why I don’t want to move, if other people want to go to Markhill then they can go, I think Raycliffe is perfectly fine. Talk about all the things that happened already this year. I mean, it really just started with a little courage and time to let go of Bernville. We all just needed that time through the summer to think it through and just to take it slow and adapt ourselves to Raycliffe.

Sorry, I must have been rambling on too much and forgot to introduce myself, I’m Alexandra. And currently I’m attending Raycliffe High. It’s been awesome being the freshmen of Raycliffe, I met many new people from different schools of the Yorkland neighbourhood. People from Kernhill, Millersville, Royalland, Fennville, and Meadville all became friends of Bernville and we were all known as the Raycliffers now. Much has happened through the lives of our first year at Raycliffe and we all must say have enjoyed it much. We’ve all been able to let go of our feathered school and learned to accept Raycliffe. Like I said, everything takes time, though time flies by fast like grade 9.

Takio takav is born

Okay.. I might use this site for my stories instead of xanga because some of my readers dont use xanaga so im just trying this
