The Beauty in Brampton :)

I seem to be stumbling across coincedental things lately.

Some interesting news:
My high school fashion arts teacher's daughter won Miss Brampton 2006. This isn't new news, I just somehow was looking for something on Brampton's website and then got led to other things. Of course I also forgot what I was originally looking for then. Anyways it's interesting because my teacher's other daughter won in 2004.



To have a family of Miss Brampton winners must be pretty :) Why do I feel as though V is going to make some negative comment or something lol. Brampton is a very nice place and it's an honour to represent it... Kinda weird to have two winners in one family though. Maybe the contest was fixed? I don't know, anyways I didn't think she'd be running for Canada's candidate for Miss Universe too : Link (that's the first daughter winner, not the most recent). I don't think either of them looks anything like my teacher did. However I did have the chance of meeting the older one and she was pretty nice. Pretty nice, hey get it, like pretty and nice.. ah I'm tired ..

I feel as though I should go back to Turner and congratulate my teacher .. and maybe ask if there's a possibility for any job openings come the new school year :D

I'm doing volunteer tutoring on Saturdays for this month. Volunteer because I want some more references. It's working out really nicely so far that I don't even mind not being paid. The only problem is it really makes me want to teach grade two again. The kids brought back memories of all the little ones from two years ago. "Sigh".. wow they must all be in grade 4 by now. Somehow I just can't picture Mark, Marky? Marcus? .. what was his name?? all grown up.. kinda sad if you think about it. Next thing you know he'll be running for Mr. Mississauga - if there's even such a thing like that :S

    I didn't know that they had such a thing as Ms. Brampton. I also never knew Mrs. Tkach though I have heard of her... oh well. Good for her I guess to have two daughters that get the great responsibility of representing Brampton. Hehe...

    One of my professors at Ryerson University, a history teacher who I took an elective with (the best class I've ever taken in my life) won the award for Best Teacher in Canada... yes, the same contest that was nationally televised on TVO... the teacher: Arne Kislenko... :)

    As for the best teachers at Turner Fenton, I neer had Ms. Tkach or Mr. Lowens - I think Mr. Carter was a really good teacher... same with Mr. Abbott. Last I saw either teacher I think was at the funeral of counsellor at Turner Fenton back in 2002. :(

    I heard last year there was a show about English teachers, but I never did come across it, I sort of just forgot about it but now I'm curious is it still on? Squeeky, maybe what you saw was part of it? That must have been weird though lol.

    Nauman, I think I read about her in the paper. And that funeral.. was for my guidence counsellor .. But I don't know Mr. Carter or Mr. Abbott though the names sound familiar. I tried to take all the fun courses in high school while you took all the useful ones :D

    Ahy, I think you're nuts lol.

    Your guidance counsellor and my guidance counsellor were the same person since her range of letters for lastnames of the student population was A-F and we both fall in under that. Her name was Mrs. Pirak. It was quite surprising that she passed away so when I heard about it, I decided to attend her funeral.

    Actually, Mr. Carter was a biology teacher but Mr. Abbott was a gym teacher - I took gym all throughout highschool so that was fun. :)

    Yeah I remember her... she was really nice. I remember she always used to tell me I had pretty hair. She was so sweet.. I felt bad about going to her so much to get her to change my lunch almost every year..

    As for gym, only you (or any guy) would consider it fun! Yuck gym :S
