"playing jitz (the table soccer game) in the lounge with felix, jason, rocko, maritzio and anyone else who knows how to play...jason is THE jitz master...he taught me how to play...without cheating! (making the handles turn really fast), doing corner shots and sharp angles...i'm not at all good...but i can hold my own!"
so i ran into maritzio this afternoon just as he was leaving fairview and my fam was getting there (we're looking for amelia's keys...) and he came over, pecked me on the cheek while i hugged him and we talked for a coupla mins...including how brazil won...he was wearing a brazilian shirt! it's good to see him! and i love the fact that i totally didn't expect him to kiss me on the cheek...and my sister and my dad came by after and my sister was laughing at me...blah...
met up with my cousins at costco...lots of water! good stuff...and then went to their house...where my rents, grandma and my uncle played MJ while we went to scarborough town centre to shop for grace's outfits...she's a nutty cuz! and then we watched the rest of metropolis...man...the graphics are completely intense...especially when tima's face started melting...ewwww....but yeh...and then we watched 'the fifth element'...yea bruce willis! i love that movie!
but yeh...i need to go now...but it's so much fun to blog at the same time as i'm holding 5 conversations with tanaka, karina, frances, fraser and flo! this is fun...but yes...i gotta go now!

"ian and his cutie gf jennie! they make the cutest couple i've ever seen! and they're always at brennan making out! ah...to be in a relationship like that....something i dream about all the time...you guys are my idols!"
so i just got home from grace and jules...grace will be an extra on a new tv show called 'monk' and she'll be filming next week tuesday to friday...can you say cool? i'll get her signature soon so i can be like 'so yeh...this is my famous cousin grace!'....soon! and ames is out with mom and dad...retrieving her jacket she left behind yesterday at the buffet that we went to...where jules was on ELM (eating less movement) and it was difficult for her to splurge on food...
met up with fayewood and tanaka at yorkdale where we went to orfus rd. to do some awesome shopping! i love shopping with my girls! we grab tons of clothes and model it infront of each other! got some amazing stuff for great prices! i love shopping cheap...see what you can do with so little money! and tanaka was driving her boat of a car...and went over some bump and broke the steel pipe that connects her right back wheel with the rest of the car...i'm amazed that we're all still alive! that's a reck of a car...it has two HUGE cracks going through the windshields of the car...and scratches and dents like there's no tomorrow...ahahaaa...tanaka's boat...
"Just say you'll love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lotta love and I don't want to let go
Will you still love me for the rest of my life?
'Cause I can't go on
No, I can't go on
I can't go on
If I'm on my own"
Chicago
i'm tired...watched some 'metropolis' with grace at their house...i love the awesome effects of anime! there was this really cool scene where there was a fire in the sewers...and these robotic firefighters come...and it's just soooo cool! you gotta see it to understand! well...i guess i'll go and watch some 'laputa' now...

"Why do we mess up exams?
A year has 365 days for you to study. After taking away 52 Sundays, here are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that is way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days. If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days. Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year, hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days, you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days! You are left with 1 day! But that 1 day is your birthday... so... Good luck to everyone on your exams."

"my good friend, cesar...whom i met in chemistry class...but was also in my bio class...when i first met him, i was like 'cesar? as in cesar salad?'...very very good looking...has a hoop earing on his left ear and looks like a giant cuddle monster in the winter cuz of his huge ass white jacket that he wears! ...known for studying at kelly bundy library for hours while i'm shopping for sparkles in my hair...and loves eating microwavable dinners!"
so yeh...ran into cesar today...he was the second person i ran into before my final today...first it was winsion at the street corner of lash miller and sid smith...he'd just finished a 2nd yr chem exam and going to work late...ahahaha...you're welcome for making you even later! it's good to see him...he's my brother...the brother i never had....and then cesar...who was waiting with his friends for his physics class to start...and then just inside mclennan i ran into garland who'd just finished his astronomy exam...cool...
so yeh...the final was pretty long...who knew it would be so long? it wasn't necessarily DIFFICULT...just kinda tedious...i don't know what the prof was thinking...a short ans section and a short essay section...each worth 8 marks each...so who is she kidding? it's the SAME THING!!! ugh...so we'll see how i'll be doing...
and met up with karina and charysse...went to maddys...tried to study but drama queen charysse discovered a cut on her arm and just went on and on and on and on about it and how it wouldn't stop bleeding and blah blah blah...so i left....and then charysse left her sunglasses there...poor cha! and karina's dating a bsb wannabe! that's classic! ahahahaaaaa! ok...my bad...so you're not necessarily DATING him...but maybe you're seeing him! and from the sound of it...he's totally in love with you! too bad connie didn't get to him! ;p
"Say hello
Remain
Close to me
No goodbye suicide mystery
The rat in your brain
Turns a wheel
Connected to your guts and
All your thoughts are in me,
All your faults in me
What would you say
If we lived on TV
Besides all the things they told you
We're stuck
Inside our own machine
Apparations
Say hello
Well is it strange
Where you are
Where you used to be kind of free
Are they laughing at you
The rat in your brain
Rules the world
From the comfort of your living room
Tell me are we leaving soon
We're stuck
Inside our own machine
Apparations"

so i'm on the subway and i have nothing better to do so i do what i like best....observe ppl...discreetly...and these are my subway observations:
a guy with a bag that still has a tag on it...now...there's 4 ways you can look at this...
1. it's a stolen bag...
2. he just bought it and hasn't cut the tag off yet...
3. he doesn't REALIZE that the tags still on it...
4. it's stolen...
there's a very cute little girl with a guy i'm assuming to be her father...and he had a very fuzzy beard which reminded me what jonathon told me yesterday...which was that guys who sport beards are usually smart...ahahaa...
there was a guy wearing a hawaiian shirt and sunglasses...who insists on hanging on the bars overhead when there's TONS of seats to sit in...just thinking how silly he is...or something to that effect...
and then on the bus ride home...i had ass in my face...how disgusting is that...ewwwwww...but he got off at yonge and steeles so that was better...
it's so sad that my linguistics friends are all dispersing...chris is going to europe and i don't know where everyone else is going...susan goes to erindale...and sam and fraser will be around i guess...same with arash...still...i miss em...
and john misses me...he called me to tell me...how sweet...too bad i wasn't home when he called and i called him back and tagged him...IT! and joel told me a silly story and i fell for it...meh...now i'm tired and wanna watch JKX...

"winter carnival was 3 days...one of the three days included going over to trinity for a bbq and vodka melons...went with frances, christian, flo, and edward...we were all soooo intimidated by these hugely intellectual ppl...but we eventually ate in their huge dining hall...and then the vodka melons...quite good...but our vodka jello was MUCH better!"
and so...i burned my finger this morning...i picked up the tray that was in the toaster oven (cuz i'm usually the first one to use it) and held it with two fingers for about 5 secs before my fingers sent my brain the neurons that FINALLY activated my much delayed reaction...'OW! that hurts!' ....and drop it...but it's ME so i just finish toasting my bagel, eat it, and then go to my mom...'mom? what do you use for burns?' and she's like 'what did you do?' and i'm like 'i think i burned my finger' and she's like 'you're silly...i'll put some aloe vera cream on it for you'...something to THAT effect...and then i had a huge chunk of white lotion stuff on it cuz she over squirted...but it was good cuz my finger went kinda numb and it's better now...except if you press it really HARD...;p
"If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me"
Harold and the blue notes
it HAD to rain today...i HAD to get wet...it HAD to be warm sticky, damn humid weather...i HAD to wear a tanktop...ok...i'm done...
wait! i'm not! tutorial was fun cuz jonathon and i kept writing little notes on the edges of our papers about this guy named mike who ALWAYS has something to say...like an opinion...and he just kept going and going and going...like the energizer bunny...hmm...like me...but not really....i kinda shut up in tutorials...

"john and his rendezvous with these two girls, cecilia and tanya...i've met cecilia and she's really nice and everything...i HAVEN'T met tanya...but from all the stories i hear...;p apparently she has very aggressive tendencies...bothers alex too! awww...but yeh...we all have our fun!"
today was no work and all fun...damn...gotta sit down and study linguistics tonite...blah...but yeh...because ames slept over at juju's, i had the whole house to myself this morning...mom and grandma went out on their weekly ritual of shopping...always tuesdays! and i was sleeping sooo nicely...but flo woke me up at 9am...what?!?!?! she's like 'MORNING! oh! did i wake you up?' ...it's ok...but after that i couldn't go back to sleep but watched 'saving silverman' instead...
i was SUPPOSED to work out with flo...but it didn't work cuz chickie's sick...awww...get well! so i went down and spent the day at the office...i lied...kirsten and i went to the varsity and went to see 'the bourne identity' which was pretty good...tho...what julia stiles was doing in that movie i don't know...she was kinda outta place...meh...and then we went back to the office and painted the bottom part of the office a dark shade of blue...spent 2 hrs doing that...who said painting wasn't hard work? we wore these blue crew pants...(i borrowed mine from deans....ok ok! so i didn't ask to borrow...i TOOK them...) and it wasn't bad...but we weren't very even in our painting...whatever...we hafta do a second coating anyway...so deans will do that TOMORROW....
lisa called and had her dreams book with her so we were trying to figure out the dreams kirsten and i had...the other nite i dreamt that i went to get my hair cut and they cut it soooo short...almost bald...and i freaked out...and then it miraculously grew back...but only the outter part...so underneath it was still really short...and i woke up...and looked in the mirror and sighed a HUGE sigh of relief....man...no hair....nutty...and then lisa told me that it meant that all my relationships from now on would be a HUGE work to do...damn...no easy relationships...and kirsten took a nap in the office this morning and dreamt that deans was mentally retarded with really short hair...and he REALLY did cut his hair....REALLY REALLY SHORT!
it was really funny because he didn't want us to see how short it was...so he wore a baseball cap...and then he was making fun of carlo, who then whipped his cap off...and then he freaked and pulled half his shirt over his head and looked like ET or something...it was HILARIOUS! and then he had a huge fire lighter in his hand...(note...NEVER let deans hold flamable or cuttable items...he's very dangerous...) and kirsten made a crack about lighting the teabag that's on the ceiling on fire (again...the teabag on the ceiling BECAUSE of deans) and HE LIT THE TEABAG ON FIRE....it was soooo freaky! thank god he didn't set the building on fire...i swear...he WILL succeed one day...and then there will be no st. mikes...just a pile of ashes! ;p
"I just want to let you know
This was your time
You went away and it seems the days all fade into night
But you'll be alright, I know it
Cause I've got an angel watching me"
Joee

"as lisa puts it...the crazy hot day that she, i and lauren (bad english) went to study at kelly bundy library for our exams....unfortunately we got absolutely NOTHING done...and just pictures of us eating!"
first of all...in the last blog...i meant ACC...but too lazy to change that...
secondly...yesterday i was too tired to blog...basically my cousins grace and jules came over and our parents and my grandma played MJ for a coupla hours...then juju, grace, ames and my uncle went shopping at yorkdale and left me at home because i was on the phone with lisa which was JUST FINE...we were discussing everything and anything under the sun...good times! then i spent some time on msn chatting with polish paul....watched some 'vatel' a really cool french movie with gerard depardieu and uma therman!
went out for dinner cuz we were celebrating my grandma's 88th b-day! yay grandma! she's on a roll! and it was sooo totally funnie...because my cousin's been having problems with this guy named david...and at the restaurant ....my aunt spilled the teapot completely upside down...right on the side of the table where grace and i were sitting...and the waiter came to clean up the mess...and he was being all smooth and all...and then i took a look at his name tag and it said 'david' and i poked grace and pointed...and she looked and then we both burst out laughing....always problems with davids...of course...it sounds odd when i type it out....it's one of those situations where you have to have been there to have laughed your ass off!
reina and erica were there too! they're getting sooo big! i forgot how old they are...isn't that awful? but erica's 5 and reina's 8 this year! man...i feel OLD now...i remember when WE used to look up to ruth and alice!
and today i walked with my sister to shoppers and then we went into winners...and then she had to go back home (she was buying the newspaper) and lisa and lauren came to pick me up...went downtown and workout out...and had our DELICIOUS lunch at spaha at around 3:30pm....i know...we take SOOO long in the showers and makeup and stuff! we're such girls! ;p
went with flo to gerstein where she did her work and i studied till class time where my new anthopology prof was really good but really boring...i kept passing notes with tim and jonathon...here's an excerpt from jonathon's notes:
me: =) have you had your kit kat today?
j: no, it's fattening
me: true...but i believe that if you had one, you might not fall asleep in class because you'd have a sugar high
j: i suppose so, but i wouldn't be able to concentrate knowing that the sugar is turning to fat while we sit here and pass notes ;p
lovely class, no?
oh look at the time...time to call joel...silly boy...who wants to watch wrestling so i hafta call him at 11...

"You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides"
dan hill
john and i are like playing phone tag...i'd call him and he's not home or he's busy...and he calls me and i'm not home and i hafta call him back...hopefully i'll be in touch with him tomorrow...come to think of it...same with joel...but with joel it's all jokes...he's ok with shari now...and i need to know what's up with tammy! ;p

"me and kirsten, counselors for smcsu...organizing cool events....like clothing sales! helping out with formal...now kirsten's prez! yay! this is tribute to her!"
last class for linguistics...how sad...all my new friends will be going their separate ways...no longer stuck together in our class...and we're all getting really really friendly now...just today, our prof let us out an hour early...and a group of us, me, susan, sam, arash, fraser and chris...we went and chilled at the starbucks on st. george and college...and it was so enlightening how the six of us just sat and chatted about politics and different backgrounds and cultures and discussed some really cool things...i felt SOOO grown up and university-like...
"Everything's so blurry
and everyone's so fake
and everybody's empty
and everything is so messed up
pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
You could be my someone
you could be my sea
you know that i'll protect you
from all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing
imagine where you are
there's oceans in between us
but that's not very far
Can you take it all away
can you take it all away
well ya shoved it in my face
this pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
can you take it all away
well ya shoved it my face
Everyone is changing
there's noone left that's real
to make up your own ending
and let me know just how you feel
cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
my whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
You could be my someone
you could be my sea
you know that i will save you
from all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
but that's not very far
[Chorus]
Nobody told me what you thought
nobody told me what to say
everyone showed you where to turn
told you when to runaway
nobody told you where to hide
nobody told you what to say
everyone showed you where to turn
showed you when to runaway
[Chorus]
This pain you gave to me
You take it all
You take it all away...
This pain you gave to me
You take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me"

"bio with dez, anne marie and jho....'hey guys! over HERE guys!'....'oooh! look! there's dez! lets WAVE!!!'...drawing funny faces on each other's notes...crossing OUT stuff in our notes (JHO!) ..."
i did something today that i should have done weeks ago...and now that it's over...i feel so much better...tho...i also feel really mean and guilty...but really...keep stringing it along? no...might as well do it now...i tried...but it wasn't working...but...now i can concentrate more easily...on someone else...
"let me sleep
for when i sleep i dream that you are here
you're mine
and all my fears are left behind
i float on air
the nightingale sings gentle lullabys
so let me close my eyes
and sleep
a chance to dream
so i can see the face i long to touch
to kiss
but only dreams can bring me this
so let the moon
shine softly on the boy i long to see
and maybe when he dreams
he'll dream of me
i hide beneath the clouds
and whisper to the evening star
and tell me love is just a dream away
dream away....
i'll dream away
so let the moon
shine softly on the boy i long to see
and maybe when he dreams
he'll dream of me"

we went to robarts so that i could look up stuff for my anthro project...it was disgusting because stupid people would take out the books and not return them...WHY?!?!? I RETURNED THEM! why can't YOU?!?!? ugh...no words to describe my disgust...benny saw me on the fourth floor acting like a ditz with the librarian...'and how do you find the articles on the catalogue again?' and i helped him and tim find some article...nice...then benny went to his 4'o-clock tutorial and tim and i studied on the fifth floor for a bit...

"I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world"

ames looks like a fob today...not that that's a BAD thing or anything...rather...she looks odd...just...not like the normal ames...i swear to god that when i came home today with dad...my jaw dropped and i nearly dropped the food we were bringing in! ;p your shirt has a blue butterfly on it...and it has little white dangly things on it...REALLY! and to top it off...my plaits your hair in two little pigtails...i obviously have nothing better to do then to stare at you right now! ;p
i've concluded that if my dad ever gets a heartattack...it'll probably be because of me...ahahaaa...ESPECIALLY if i'm DRIVING!!!! ;p good times!
"I’ll bring you the gift of a sky full of bluebirds
with never the sign of a cloud up above
I’ll bring you the lilt of the laughter of children
and joy in the morning love
Joy, joy, joy in the morning
Joy in the morning as long as you live
And these are the things I will give to my darlin’
These are the things to my darlin’ I’ll give
I’ll buy you a gown made of lace from the willow
in all the wide world there’s no lov-lier one
I‘ll bring you a dream to keep under your pillow
and joy in the morning sun
Joy, joy, joy in the morning
Joy in the twinkle I see in your eyes
And this be the wish that I wish for my darlin’
Green apple weather and blue berry skies
I’ll bring you a drink from the pure crystal fountains
and ply you with roses and woo you with rhyme
I’ll bring you the glow from the light on the mountains and joy in the morning time
Joy, joy, joy in the morning
Joy in the morning as long as you live
And all of my love I will give to my darlin’
All of my love to my darlin’ I’ll give
All of my love to my darlin’ I’ll give"
joy in the morning

"Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me"
Whitney Houston

"always mixing up john c (luke's friend) and raz...cuz they looked alike...i'd see john in bio and chem...and i'd call him raz...and he'd be like 'who?!?' and then i'd see raz in economics and call him john...same reaction...one day john's sitting in brennan lounge and raz comes by cuz he's going to the canada room for lunch when i call out to him and john jumps up and wants to meet this guy i keep calling him...and then i compared them...and concluded that the only major difference between them was the fact that john has dimples!...and then i NEVER mistook them ever again!"

"seeing brian at the beginning of the year...ahaha! he's completely turned into a prep boy! (that's not a BAD thing)...and him trying to set his friend up with MY friend...THROUGH us...uh uh...not happening buddy..."
is it just me or do you always feel like there's so much more that we're forgeting to discuss...or like we're missing something from our meetings? i always do...i always feel like there's so much more to do...but i don't have all the time in the world to DO it...like...painting the office is stalled cuz we're waiting for furniture so we can match...and frosh stuff is not my area...and dsac stuff is so cool but it's part of frosh...and i work and go to school and paul works and it's difficult to get things done..and...you're joking! a finance meeting on tues and a budget meeting on thurs...there goes class! but...it was sooo much fun having our meeting outside today! it was 28 degrees and we had blankets laid out under the shade of a huge tree...and it felt like we were only missing the picnic basket!! yea food! congrats to liz for being our new collegium...and flo for being ed & gov officer...and peter peter...pumpkin-eater (j/j!)...where are you?!?!?! is barbara taking up all your time?!?! ;p
can you say recital was a SUCCESS?!?! yea! although...i didn't really like the timing...like...9 in the morning...oy! too early! but all the kids performed and did very well..so who cares if you forget? just make it up...no one REALLY knows! and who cares if you play an octave too low? no one knows! ;p and so what if it looks funny that a chinese kid is singing an italian song? at least he's singing it WELL...and who cares if monica left the music stand at the hall...oh wait...THAT we care about! and then after the recital, monica took all the teachers out to lunch! NICE! oooh! and the best part?!!!? monica's son, jason was there helping out with his roommate, lukas...and jason's this really hot asian model! ;p *drool drool* and steve's the only white teacher there...but that's ok too! he's cool dude that rides a motorcycle!
"Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast"

then we went to shoppers where we went on a shopping frenzy...called this new lip glide from revlon, eyeshadow (cuz i lost my old one), and the sales lady, emilia was sooo nice to us...

went to north york central library with ames today...she met up with her friend steph to do a project on the economics, political issues and political parties of the the 1990's...fun fun...NOT! i went along cuz i figured that cuz it was a library i'd get some studying done, right? WRONG!!! i went down to the study section and it was nice for a bit...and then these groups of nutty girls come and i guess they don't know the meaning of 'quiet area' cuz they were definitely NOT quiet...i could hear their WHOLE conversations...thru my earplugs! ugh...either way...i was able to finish my tutorial readings for anthro...then i made the mistake of going off to find my silly sister and i saw with them thinking it would be quieter...unfortunately they had this thing about including me in their conversation(actually...my fault...i supplied an idea and THEN they started talking to me) so i don't think i even read two pages of my anthro text...we did however have some nice italian soda's and coffee chillate...
drove daddy and ames home...fun fun...i think ames will take a cab the next time i drive....

which Episode II character are you?
Queen of Naboo. You could have a split personality - simply to hide who you really are. You are extremely polite and gentle. However, if needs be, you will take action and can be a very good leader. You have the power to make people believe in you - use this power. The one you love could also end up being the one you hate.
i have a midterm tuesday...gotta go study and kick linguistic ass!
