As A lot of people know, the Olympic torch is going around Canada. The Olympic torch has a long history, now it’s time for Canada! The Olympic torch has changed a lot since 1972. Here is how people designed the Olympic torch: The long, curving, sleek white torch, designed by Bombardier, was built to withstand the rigour of Canada’s wintry climate and to represent lines carved into the snow by alpine skiers.
Designer say the brilliant orange flame will unfurl like” a flag flutter in the wind” when carried on its 106-day, 45,000- kilometre journey across the country- the longest route in a single country in Olympic history. The 94-cm long torch weighs 1.6 kilograms and will burn for at least 12 minutes, using a blend of fuels such as propane and isobutene. ( From CBC;http://www.ctvolympics.ca/torch/index.html#/History). Soon it will be coming to Ontario! When you may ask well, It’s come on Day 44 which is December 12. It will be coming to Toronto on Day 50 which is December 18th, so may sure you get ready because this is a once in a life time opportunity to see the Olympic torch in Canada. You remember when you get older because it was a HUGE event! (: The torch will be leaving Ontario on Day 68 which is Januray 05,2010 and moving to Manitoba. THE TORCH WILL BE IN ONTARIO FOR 24 DAYS! 
SO MAKE SURE YOU SEE IT WHEN IT COMES TO TORONTO because this could be your one an only chance. Olympics don’t come to Canada that often.

“Wake up” “yes sir” one by one they get up at dawn and starting working. For over six hours they work in dirty conditions. After working hard they get paid if they were lucky they would get 15 cents. Then they would sleep and that was the end of their day. These poor children were sold into slavery, by their parents. Now I know that you maybe angry at the parents, but don’t blame them. These families were never educated so they don’t know how to read the contracts that are given to them, they just get tricked. The families just need money for food and so they sell their children. Knowledge is power is not just a expression its true. The parents get the payment at the end of each day. The catch is that the companies charges the parents 20 cents for food and the care of their child so their actually losing a lot of money. When I first heard about the child laborers I got angry at the government for letting this go freely. They should at least take some action. A few years back a boy named, Iquball got assinated for sticking up for his fellow kids, Iquball was only 12 he got shot. Just imagine getting shot at 12 for sticking up for your rights. One of the programs you can join is free the children. Just imagine yourself or your child being treated like a slave. Please help the kids that can’t help themselves.

My normal weekend starts on Saturday when I normally wake up at 12:00pm. I go brush my teeth and go dig up something to eat in my cupboard. Then what I do is what every other child does. Play the computer! I play until about 3pm and I go back up just to eat my lunch. I bring my lunch to my computer and start playing while I eat. I play all the way until I eat dinner. After I eat dinner I just go back down and play more computer. Sounds boring, right? Well it’s not, when you go on the computer. That was only my Saturday. On Sunday, it’s different every week. One week, I go out shopping the whole day. Another day, I stay home all day just to play the computer. Well my life sounds really boring right? That’s because there’s nothing interesting that happens!

November 6th 2009. It was one of my best day of my life. My cousin and I finally met our celebrity crush, Justin Bieber. It was a pretty hectic day, he was going to come to Vaughn mills Urban Behavior for a meet & greet. I woke up at 5:30am and left my house at 6:00am and that is how my journey began. I took the Finch bus and transferred to Don Mills, I got onto the Don Mills bus and got off on Don Mills station, and finally got onto the Victoria Park bus and met up with my cousin on the bus. We finally got to Vaughn mills around 9:15am, but when I got there, there were already around 500 girls already in line for the meet & greet. My cousin and I were kind of disappointed because we thought we weren’t going to be able to meet him since there were already a lot of people there, but we waited in line like everybody else anyways, since we were already there. So we changed into our Justin bieber shirt, and stood in line for 9 hours just to see him. When it was finally 4:00, the meet and greet session began, and the line finally started moving. When it was around 5:45 we were like practically like 6 meters away from him. I was so excited I can’t believe I finally got to meet a guy that I’m pretty much in love with and look up to. When it was our turn to meet him, my cousin was pretty star struck, but I wasn’t going to just let him sign a poster and get push out. So I approached him and asked him if I can have a hug, but he replied “sorry, I can’t I’m like really sick right now, sorry”. I was kind of disappointed but I can’t believe I actually got to meet him and talk to him too, but even better I got his signature too! Even though my cousin and I were standing outside for all those 9 hours, it doesn’t matter… Every second of waiting outside in the freezing cold just for him was so worth it. Some people don’t understand, they think I just admire him cause of how he looks and how his voice is like heaven, but people don’t get the fact that all his songs have very deep meanings in it, and some of his songs I can really relate to them since it’s about his parents getting divorce when he was really little, and that it tells me that I’m not alone. Also he shows me that dreams do come true, since his dream came true. He’s pretty much inspires me to chase after my dream and I shouldn’t ever stop chasing it until I finally get to where my dream is. I Love Justin Bieber!

Have you ever been to a hospital and waited in the ER (Emergency room)? Well have just been in the hospital and figured out that there is only one doctor there. The waiting room for the hospital is like a big room with a tiny T.v. To get a room in the hospital you have like wait like forever!!!! The nurses there goof around when no one is in need. They also have a LG flat screen T.V. Yesterday night they were watching the football game. The people there were very nice. They were getting annoyed that we kept on needed help, because we didn’t know what to do. The workers in the hospital will get on your nerves most of the time. Yesterday I bought breakfast for my cousin, grandma and I. The food there was much better than the food in our school cafeteria. xP The last thing I want to talk about is the EMS cars. The cars are all different colours. There are also cars from all over the area. The parking is also bad. Which is why I don’t like hospitals. Well just thing one.
