everyone, i have an announcement to make... I AM STILL ALIVE!!!

of course...i have no voice...but that's alright, everyone needed a break from it anyway. and once it comes back, it'll be all sexy. hahaha, you can call me anytime! ;p

so frosh week was a great success. i really enjoyed it soooo much. i wish MY frosh week was this good! i think our coordinators did a great job, but i also think that it's our marshals and spirit squad people who really made it happen. without them, it would never have worked!

i know you all want to know what took so much of my time this week so here are some memorable moments of frosh week:

TUESDAY:
- registration of over 600 frosh: "..and this red ticket is for your frosh shirt which you give to the marshal, show your shirt to get your SAC kit and head to the field to see your group...and this lanyard is cuz you're cool!"
- the unrolling of the SMC banners at invocation for joe figs! SMC IS THE BEST! thanks very much.
- smc challenge..."let's get naked!" (that was MY activity...i'll leave that up to the imagination...heehee) gaining points with frosh leaders georges, mu, fay, howe and gordon...i will not divulge WHY. hahahaha.
- smc graffiti: omg, what a headache...some stupid mofo's (leaders) went and chalked up (defaced) the trinity chapel and we (tee, immanuel, and i...along with an innocent group who we thought were the original culprits) went and cleaned it up. man they were scared shitless...it's freaking TRINITY.
- DUKE OF YORK: getting there late and standing in line...but then immanuel went and talked to the ppl at the door and i got in...sweet...tony making sure i got back to smcsu at 3:30am...i had no blankets or pillows...so thanks to tony for the blanket and brian for the pillow....THANKS GUYS!

WEDNESDAY:
- medieval times BAYBEEE!!!! we ended up getting there 45 mins late because of bus problems...and then brandon, joe and i sat at the wrong table...whatever...and then we were cheering for the bad guy...THAT was fun!...and then we crammed 93 ppl into a magic school bus...because we almost took off, leaving some frosh behind!
- ENGINEERING PARTY AT FORT YORK: man...finally meeting the legendary anna, what a great person! ...after THREE mike's hard cranberries...simone's my new best friend, standing (but not really standing...) and talking with nao and steve...going "home" in a cab with nick...and this is the best...joe fig's priceless expression in the morning when i opened mike's door in his t-shirt...(that's best to leave also to the imagination...hahahaha...again, i'm open to phone calls!)

THURSDAY:
- going to smcsu in the clothes i was wearing the night before..."this is what happens to asian girls gone wrong!" ahahaha.
- getting addicted to tim horton's coffee...AGAIN! (arrgh...)
- BED RACES against the engineers! (the engineer's are HILARIOUS! they had two beds and "broke" their "good" one racing against themselves!)
- going over to new college in a golf cart with a whole bunch of frosh (engineer's and smc) and getting them to come over to the bed races (SMC WON THEM ALL)
- mock protest against pants...god it never fails to kill me!

at this point, my voice is long gone and every time i call my mum, she freaks out because she thinks i'm getting really really sick. so i go home for some much deserved sleep and am now nursing my poor voice back. there was also a casino night and an auction thursday night, a boat cruise friday and today there's wonderland. i don't know how that went but i'm assuming it went well.

now i have to hope that classes go well too...plus it's time to save my shopping $$$ on books....yipes.

whoa whoa....HEY!!!!!

where did the summer go?!?!?!? i swear that i just blinked and it was gone...(well maybe it's also because i didn't really have a summer...but whatever...)

everyone is moving into rez today! i spoke to mu last night and he was doing some crazy packing! i'm so excited for everyone. PLUS i was totally cracking this morning when i was reading the newspapers and they were going on and on about how parents are so afraid and sad of letting go their "babies"...and wanting to see report cards and stuff. that was sooo my parents 2 years ago...oh WAIT...they're STILL like that. the fact that i'm staying downtown for 2 nights is bugging the heck out of them. it's really a sad thing. they've been lecturing me all day about what time i'm sleeping (yeh right...like i'm gonna sleep or something) and about drinking in moderation (that one had me in stitches for a while) and yada yada yada....i mean seriously...gotta learn to fly solo...

spoke on the phone with my big bro, carl. he's great. i think we're meeting up tomorrow when we go out partying (oops...i meant...when i go to bed...haha) and it'll be sooo great to see him again after so long.

that's the other thing. i can't wait to see everyone again. that's the only sucky thing about not being in school. you can't socialize as much. you only see select and important people, not really random. i can't wait to see who are in my classes and who i'm going to workout with (hopefully, ava, as our schedules didn't match last year, i hope they work out this year).

no pants for the mock protest...gotta love them undies!

do you know that going to IKEA is much more fun when you go with friends? when i go with my parents, it's a HUGE drag, but going with eileen was tons of fun. we were looking for furniture for her and we kept cracking up over everything. i think we decided on markor (because the furniture have names) and not pax nexus. eileen's into the wooden antique type furniture so that was cool. plus, not seeing this girl since forever made it better, especially hearing the update on our lovely friend susan. do you know that susan is crazy? that's right. CRAZY. this girl went to get a deferral on her tuition and then right after, went and bought a $600 louis vuitton purse! but...that's susan for you.

let me see...what else is going on. right, tanaka's gone back to kingston today. but it's alright, karina, faye and i are planning a trip there sometime in november. bring on the parties! BUT NO TEQUILA ROSE! ;p

my philosophy professor, julie kirsch, had a little party at gabby's thursday night, this was because her first party didn't work out as it was during the blackout. it was a nice little party except for this dude, jason, (sorta like daniel but a whole lot skinnier and with hair) who was trying to hit on me all night. do i have some sorta sign on me that says something like "all undesirable guys, RIGHT HERE!"?!?!?!?! seriously, karina never stops laughing at me about that. anyway, left that in a hurry. hahahaa

went shopping at fairview yesterday, which was fun because i haven't been there for awhile, and grace was working at the ice cream place. ames went up to bug her and get free samples, so that was fun. and went by my favorite places, jacob and gap, but nothing really interesting. except that i'm waiting for those cordoroy pants that madonna's promoting to go on sale. went to look at bikini's at the bikini village, but practically ran out of there because the prices there are insane! $80 for a tiny piece of material that barely covers anything?!?!?! I DON'T THINK SO.

i've also updated my website...well...sorta. just added some wonderland pics when i went with nao, ray and mu. you can check that out here

and mars hit me. and it hurts. alot. however....i'll get through it, i'm a survivor!

i still hurt

wow i got some great zzz's last night! sleeping in a hotel bed just isn't the same as my own. so in case anyone's wondering...no i didn't kill my family, we made it! although, buy yesterday i was ready to ditch my rents on the street. going to montreal is fun, but it would definitely be more fun if i go with friends next time. the good thing, is that i DID run into eddie on rue saint catherine on monday and i had a great time then! oh, and i learned that i don't know how to walk properly with two feet....i'm just not cut out for bipedalism. hahaha.

frosh week is just around the corner and i'm sooooo excited! i've been reading the smc frosh board and some of the stuff is too good!

AHHHH!!!! school starting again! i haven't even rested this whole summer! this is fretarded. but whatever, hopefully i'll rest up for the next week. oh, and why i'm posting this early in the morning, i have no clue. somehow my internal alarm clock woke me up at 7am this morning. i was piss mad, but i couldn't go back to sleep so what can i do?

Bonjour mes amies!
i am here in Montreal in a little internet cafe. it`s great here, hearing French being spoken as i`m walking down the street. it`s an awesome culture shock. we went shopping yesterday and we walked along rue ste-catherine which is sorta like our yonge st.

Anyway, yes, we left Toronto in the middle of the blackout. we didn`t even have electricity when we left friday morning, and for about two hours, we were also kinda of tense because we were having gas problems, like a bad case of murphy`s law. but, everything was soon solved and now everything is good.

i hope everyone is ok in toronto. the blackout was sooooo weird. i had just finished my last exam and a group of us from my class, including my prof wanted to go over to gabby`s for some drinks. except there was no powere. last i heard, the camping trip was still on. i want to hear all about it. i also wonder whether tanaka wrote her MCAT`s hm....

anyway, time is up.

Lord, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"I know that you created me and provided this
beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."
"And why is that Eve?"
"Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"Man? What is that, Lord?"
"A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch Lord?"
"Well...you can have him on one condition."
"And what's that Lord?"
"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring...so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first.
And it'll have to be our little secret ....you know, woman to woman."

my hair tie broke in the middle of my exam. i had to hold my hair for about 15 secs before i could get another one...thank goodness i had another hairtie or else issues....and then my pen flipped out of my hand...argh. i hate essays. they hurt me. not that writing an essay on stravinsky or berg was difficult. but i'm pretty sure i missed a whole ton of points, and style and musical marks...yada yada yada. moving on....to my practical on monday...there will probably be another story on that.

i was checking out gab's wasaga pictures and i see horton and jen are still going out! wow! they'd been going out since our math classes in...gr 11 highschool (yes, i know, i was such a geek in highschool...math classes) so that means it's been about 5 yrs...whoa...i'm so jealous. i totally crushed on hort! hahahaha. and yes, he's got such a funny name. i used to make fun of him because i knew this guy, tim (i guess you can all see where i'm going with this) and i'd tell him that they should meet up and be friends, and then i can introduce them as "tim horton" hahhahaha.

i'm soooo tired. physically and emotionally. i can't wait until friday...by this time next week...i'll be in MONTREAL! except that i shouldn't be thinking of that just yet. i still have to finish another stinking paper and two more exams. but i'll be starting my fun on thursday, at jp and reza's birthday bash. i'll be sooo ready to party it up! yay alcohol!

T-minus 4 hrs.

"SNOOTCH TO THE NOONCH!!!" - Jay
"WORD" - Silent Bob

off of clerks this tv show about the adventures of two store clerks, randall and dante, with appearences from jay and silent bob. hilarious!

so i had dinner with faye tonight. it's disgusting, that only two of us could go out. tanaka's been writing these tests downtown, and cha was tired from...caribana? and karina was waiting for cha to call. and satchmo's AT caribana. ridiculous.

i'm supposed to be studying....but of course i'm not. ech

i was watching an A&E biography show. i really admire paul newman. he's soooo awesome. so old, yet still so good looking! ;p

i have these two HUGE bruises on each side of my hips....nasty looking things. where did i get them? i'll leave that up to your imagination! hahahah! j/j! i got them after go on that stupid ride, wildbeast at wonderland. it's a rickety rollercoaster ride and it hurts like hell! and i'm a small person on this ride! mu was scrunched up in the seat the whole time, ah man. the best part was the waterpark. i truly enjoy all the waterslides! i DO NOT enjoy the long lineups. that's a biatch. ah. part of the fun i guess.

it's all about...SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! i think i'm in love with a new show! it's about an underwater sponge and that's about all i know because i went to see the 3-D movie about him and a burger at the park. it was kickass! much better then those gravity defying stomach moving rides...hahaha. i'm not a rollercoaster fan, yet i went on the bat, and vortex and these other crazy rides. although, i was too chicken to go on the drop zone and top gun! i'm sure those rides won't miss me!

and then it started raining...a fine misty kinda rain, the type that jo likes...but it was still sunny, so a rainbow came out afterwards. it was cool, and captured on camera.

it's nice to know that i've introduced my cousin to clone high. i TOLD you it's a great show! but i must credit kirsten and the sorbara guys because they introduced it to ME! heh heh.

i've got flipflops!

after being slapped in the face (not literally, but it felt like it) i haven't felt like blogging...i hate people being mad at me.

i don't know what the hell is wrong with me. i've been going through another quarter-life crisis, plus i had this migraine that threatened to crack open my skull...threw up 4 times last night. it was awful. as of now, i don't even know WHY i was sick. maybe it was that buffet i had last night, i don't know.

there's a marshal and leader meeting tonight at gabby's. whoo hoo! free food! unfortunately, that means missing my cousin's house bash. girls, i feel so bad about not being there to see you guys...soooo sorry! =(

Way way back in the 1980’s
Secret government employees
Dug up famous guys and ladies
And made amusing genetic copies
Now the clones are sexy teens now
They’re gonna make it if they try
Loving, learning, sharing, judging
A time for laughing, shiver and cry
Clone high…clone high

seems that only clone high and hearing from jo is keeping me happy these days.

oh dear.

can my life get any worse? (probably)

so my philosophy exam is on the second last day of exams. which also means that i'm not getting a couple of days break. no siree. it's been officially declared that i'll be working my poor ass off until the day i leave. (yup, i've given up, i'm outta here)

on another note, i think it would be a great idea if the abbey chicks went to montreal for a weekend, preferably the weekend of the 16-17th (when i'll be there!) and then we can rock the clubs there. yeh, i think it's a genius idea, thanks to faye for bringing it up, and me for telling karina. ;p

doo de doo

why do i get the shit time?

my two third year courses are full. AS IN not empty, AS IN i cannot enrol in that course because there are no spaces left. and i NEED one of those courses to continue with my major. i CAN'T NOT have it. pisses me off that everyone else gets early times and i'm stuck with 2pm. plus i'm missing my philosophy class right now.

grr. this chick is not happy.

EVERYONE! I MET YVES!!!! that's right, even karina hasn't met him, and they already hate each other. hahaha.

is he good-looking? i dunno. i never was good at describing people, so why should i begin now? we had a pretty good time, well...considering i felt like the odd one out, tanaka was at his side the whole time (well, other then the ladies room) and his mom and brother came down to the eaton centre as well. alls well considering tanaks called me up after being MIA the whole entire thursday (that's right, i know you're sorry) and PLUS her MOM came to say hi to me. whoa.

in other news. went to see "finding nemo" again, this time as a family. i knew my mom would love it. i did. and after seeing it again, i love it even more. i swear that the turtle is my favorite character...soooo cool!

unfortunately, due to my running off to see yves, and seeing movies, this weekend doesn't look that good on the studying side. i never was good at studying when my mind is off wandering. so prokofiev, bartok, ives and copland will have to wait. until when? i have no idea.

i read this book today, it was AMAZING! it's called "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, very very interesting. that was part of the reason i didn't study, i couldn't put the book down till i had finished the whole thing. now i want to go to london, and france even MORE. maybe i SHOULD invest some time there in august...hmmm...

just randomly, i think it's horrible that i haven't seen satchmo in the longest time. at least i saw cha, karina, faye and len at cha's b-day party, but SATCHMO!!! even vanessa wants to see me...but that's pretty sketchy...that girl is a work of art herself. i don't think i have the patience to deal with her right now...with exams and essays looming, plus jo and karen MIA, i don't need another hot topic to handle.

anyway, i need to digest my dinner now.

you know that when this chick is drinking chamomile tea at 7:15am that something is seriously wrong...

no more parties for the next 3 weeks (yes, i know i've consented to 3 instead of 4 weeks ed, ugh) why was i so stupid to take all this courses and classes NOW??!?!?! guys, stop snickering, i know i know...if only i did this much work in the school year i wouldn't be having this problem. yeh, whatever. and get this everyone...5 1/2 courses next year...who the hell do i think i am?!!?!? super woman? absolutely not! it's going to be fun times....

i'm so tired, but my tummy won't let me sleep, i've got so much studying and catching up to do...not to mention practice practice practice! i've seen ed twice this week, and i'm seeing him AGAIN today...except this time i told him to get something to eat while i practice for half-an-hour first...because i OBVIOUSLY have no time to practice otherwise....ed always makes me nervous, he'll give me something to sight read and then while i'm playing he'll say stuff like "COUNT! don't bob your head! you're too slow!" and then in the end i screw up everything...yay stupid sightreading!

not to mention that i'm missing jo like there's no tomorrow. can you imagine? this is ONLY week ONE. TWENTY more weeks to go. craptacular.

wow, last night was weird.

met up with lisa, kirsten, eric and bronwyn at smcsu. and then we headed over to gabby's for the leader meeting. that was fun times, where we did these crazy handshakes that bronwyn told us to do from these descriptions on some pieces of paper. mine was the sway where i swing the person's hand from side-to-side when i'm introducing myself. how fitting, that handshake is soooo me! heehee.

george, mu, ray, reza and i couldn't stop laughing at this girl, who will remain nameless for various reasons...because her boobs were literally falling out of her shirt. well ok, i was doing most of the laughing, and the guys were mostly oogling, it was fun, okok...RAY was enjoying them the most! hahahaaaa.

we pub hopped over to the maddy at around 10pm and it's always enjoyable being in the piano room with the piano man. and i saw matthew yesterday! MATTHEW! how i love matthew! and he came with his friends nici and pete. he's in town from whitby and i hadn't seen him for over 2 months! they wanted me to go to the velvet underground with them, but no. i wanted to go home. i think i was even overly excited cuz i downed a rum and coke 5 mins before i saw them (plus i hadn't eaten since 5pm) and it was nonstop fun the rest of the evening.

soooo, i've had ray and matthew all over me last night which was weird cuz i'm very not interested (anymore). and there was this guy, that left his friend to walk with me as we were walking over to the maddy. i didn't mind his company, but i thought it was strange that he'd deliberately come over...well, whatever.

well, ames is at wonderland today. hahaha, i'm so glad i'm not going with her, i'd get so sick of lining up and puking after the ride. i'm guarenteeing that she'll have a lovely tan by this evening...hmmm....maybe i should go out for a tan too...

i need to get a bikini...heehee

i just came back from some GREAT sushi with patty. yum yum, in my tum.

soooooooo, i hear juju slept through a fire alarm, that's pretty damn funny if i don't say so myself.

tanaks wasn't home today, that's too bad, i don't know what the hell to do with those MCAT essentials....call me.

leader meeting tomorrow at gabby's and then the party moves over to the maddy later in the evening.

why am i writing in one sentence forms? cuz i'm thinking randomly and i don't feel like stringing them together to make lovely paragraphs....hmm...reminds me of that stupid essay.

i went shopping yesterday and went crazy at jacob. they were having this HUGE sale...(the sale sign was written in big bold red block letters and i just got sooooo excited!) and i bought 3 tops for $40. yahoo!

anyway, i don't know why i'm so tired. i keep going to bed soooo early, and i think it has something to do with waking up at 7am to run. hrmmm.

jo, have you finished reading harry potter yet? i miss you.

that's right georges, how COULD you forget me?! someone needs to straighten his priorities! ;p

i'm sooo confused...(as usual) but more confused THAN usual. i told my dad that i ran 7 laps around queen's park yesterday and he did all these calculations and stuff (i think that helped in my confusion) and concluded that i ran about 9km. wicked. and THEN when i asked him about our park at home, he told me that it was 2km. weird much? so basically, i have no idea how much i run. it's the same time, but different distances. WEIRD.

ms. tanaka dune, don't you EVER do to me what you did to me last night. that was HORRIFYING. i didn't know what to do. i don't think i ever what to come by your house, your mother is a crazy maniac. CRAZY! CRAZY!!!!!!! but i have your mcat essentials and i WILL drop them off this evening, and will vanish from that house forever more. hahaha. oh man, if only you called karina, then i wouldn't have had to "witness" your mom's insanity nor would i have missed clone high, AGAIN.

i have the biggest headache in the world. and the drugs alanna gave me don't seem to be working (it was one tylenol, i promise! ;p)

yeh, i just came back from dinner with my abbey girls. it was fun, but distressing. i was supposed to see jo today but we didn't cuz karina went to get her hair done and got them braided and then she was like 3 hours late, and then it just DIDN'T WORK OUT. well whatever, no point crying over spilt milk. so i haven't see cha, len, and faye in the LONGEST time. and satchmo and maija weren't there. =( but we had an ok dinner at the duke of kent on yonge and eglinton. i did NOT enjoy the seating arrangements, crowded for 7 ppl and then i was the lucky person that kept moving my chair around for the fat waitresses. hahaha...apparently i'm missing out on karaoke...hmm...i'd rather sleep.

went to see "finding nemo" with jo yesterday. what a GREAT movie! i swear, being a cartoon brings it no justice...it's one of my favorites... i ran thru all the emotions from being sad, to having a heart attack, to being really happy. good times!

had vietnamese with georges on...thursday? i don't remember....um...yeh, thursday and it was good to see him again, especially since he's been in washington to see his lovely gf, anna. he was late to workout and so i went with him, but i think that turned out pretty short cuz i was sitting a mat chatting like there was no tomorrow while he was sweating it out trying to beat anna's rowing time, which doesn't seem really possible. if you felt weird about going to that viet place that you went with anna, we should have went somewhere else, like that chinese place we always go...geez. (oh, incase there are some dense ppl, that was for georges)

and then the rest of that afternoon, i roamed downtown toronto. walked in the heat for like 2 hrs...can you say genius? ran into niche which was great, and then saw ryan burt, who apparently has been living with mike kwadrans, billy dunn, and justyna. and then went with tee for ABT, where i didn't see nao. but that's ok, steve's been in town. hahaha.

had a very very good conversation with my brother carl. he ALWAYS helps me out when i'm having mental problems (not literally) and he's really good with advice. i think he's straightened out some doubts for me. thanks bro!

i'm really really tired. so i guess i'm off to bed.

this was my canada day:
woke up at 8am and went jogging around our park (G. Ross Lord park or as joel used to call it...gross lord park). went home, showered ate...and then i went back to sleep. watched tv, looked at course selections and painted my nails. other then that, that was basically my day. well, except for when tanaks called at like 8:30pm. so i went to pick her up, and she came over to my house where we talked all about her time with yves (among other things) and then we watched some of "america's top model". i'm soooo excited! they FINALLY kicked off that silly sillly girl, robin, and now it's down to the final three...elyse, adrienne, and shannon. i'm TELLING YOU ALL NOW!!!! it's definitely gonna be elyse. heh heh

on another note: the pool party on sunday was great, even tho i didn't go swimming. i got a pretty nice shorts tan tho (ok, how nice that is, i don't know). what i REALLY want to do is go to the beach. liz, kirsten and bronwyn were supposed to go the other day, but they ended up going rock climbing. hmmm.

jogging this morning wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. we jogged 5 laps around queens park, but we also jogged a lap before we did stretching...so i'm definitely patting myself on the back. some things liz and i noticed this morning...a dead pidgeon with it's legs still stuck in the air, these two guys were keeping a decent pace with us (they were running in the opposite direction, so we passed them twice each lap...i started to look forward to that!), and there are tons of mosquitos that are just dying to suck my blood. damn them.

anyway, that's it for now. my parents are bugging me about going to parties. so what if i went to a party on friday, sat and sunday? the point is, i NEEDED to go to them. kirsten's having a she-bang at her place on friday, and the abbey girls are getting together on saturday, and there's a meeting on sunday (whoops, not to mention amelia's having her birthday party that day too...)

geeez.

so juju is off to shad valley for a month. thanks for the comment, i don't understand what you mean by "night owl" tho. ;p oh, incase everyone ELSE is wondering...you can check out jules' blog where she left us all msgs. actually, now that i think about it...that's funny that she compares ames to ferris bueller!

pool party at ana's today! yay! (well, that is, if it doesn't rain it all out) tee's supposed to pick me up later. and i think we need to discuss what we're doing for the graffiti event for frosh week. we're in charge of buying 30 buckets of chalk. whoopee.

spoke to marko earlier today. i haven't heard or seen him in a VERY LONG TIME. see? this is why summer sucks. because all my friends go back home, or we're working...but we're all so busy that it's difficult to see everyone at the same time. and that's why the friday party at the maddy totally rocked! so many ppl were there and we were in the piano room so it was great music the whole time. i was disappointed that georges wasn't going...but he had a great excuse...visiting anna in Washington! so i forgive you. heehee. joseph came with me, and i think he had a great time. i hope we didn't overwhelm you! we're so rowdy, but it's great. lis and mike "claim" that they were only giving each other little kisses all night. i beg to differ.

tee didn't make it to that party, but she and i went to mcgrath and muir's birthday party at their house last night. it was a lot more quieter, but it was still tons of fun! i haven't seen kate figs since FOREVER. and it was really really good to see her again! to me, she'll always be the smcsu vp that taught me everything i know about council now. well, her and bolla. teehee! and i guess we'll all be there for skinner and barne's wedding in the fall?

tanaks, where are you? i'm having SUCH a hard time getting a hold of that girl. i've spoken to karina, and she'll be sending out emails about what's going on next week. but if we want to see charlie's angels, then we better get a move on. although, judging by juju's blog, it doesn't really seem worth seeing cuz she said, and i quote "the movie itself was a waste of $4.25 which is pretty sad considering that's practically half price" so that prolly means she went to rainbow cinemas to see this one.

well i guess that's all for now. for the record. the essay is in cahoots right now. i'm soooo screwed on it.

so what did i do last night after i blogged? (ah, that's right, it says that i blogged at 8:34am, but really, i started it in the morning but then i put it away until later in the evening) i was debating if i should do the mins, start my essay or read and make notes until 10:30pm (which is when clone high is). so i started on the mins. but then, as i was typing, i thought "hm...i'm tired, maybe i should take a nap". so i look at the clock and it said 9pm. soooooo....i decided to nap for an hour, then get up and do whatever....YEH RIGHT.

*mozart music*
[me] hello?
[liz] HEY! ready to go?
[me] *looks at time: 6:20am* shit. i'll be there as soon as possible
[liz] *laughing at me* ok

yup. i slept the entire night away. i was supposed to be up and ready to go at 6am. that obviously didn't happen. lucky for me, tho, dad was driving to yorkdale (bridge game at hart house tonight) and that's where i was meeting liz, so i actually got there in time for 6:45am (otherwise i would have been SOOO late) and then everything went well...well....as well as can be, considering i suck at running...like REALLY SUCK.

if i want to do that run in july, i need to be able to run for more then 3 times around queen's park. i'm sooo gonna be dead! hahaha.

ok lily. the minutes are done, but because i'm retarded i won't be able to get the mins out until i get home tonihgt. the dumbass that i am, as i was rushing around this morning to get everything, i thought i was genius for saving the mins and everything on a disk...genius, RIGHT....i left the disk in my computer...*sigh*

i really really don't want to start that essay. soooo....i'm not. haha.

my mom is so cute. she sat down next to me this morning as i was busily typing up my lab report and asked me to spell "leave" and "broken" for her. of course, i spelled "brocken" because i can't spell in my head. and then as i was grabbing something hot to drink, i noticed the door to our dishes was open, and then i see this message "please leave a brocken door open"...isn't that the cutest?

ask any council member how the meeting went last night and you'll get this reply...."LONG" it went forever...i didn't realize that this was the budget meeting and here i was thinking i'd be able to get home and finish this report before today....obviously not. mr. andrew volpe was our speaker (as zack's in russia) which was really cool, yet intimidating at the same time...when he called me over to ask me questions (because i know everything! j/j!) i was like wow...he knows my name....cool...now i need to type up those minutes...but i dunno...should i? or not? i still have a LONG OVERDUE essay to do....meh...

composite photo's are in, and i'm proud to say that i don't look constipated this time (last year's was AWFUL) i actually look pretty nice...now the question is...when am i going to pick it up? i was going to get it today after aerobics with attitude, but then i saw kirsten outside on a bench infront of brennan and that was the end of that.

wow that aerobics class was AWESOME today! david was teaching us latin moves, like the mambo, and the salsa...it was fun times! and there were a lot of people there today, it was sooo hot! and CLAUDIA PAPPALIO was there! abbey chickies! it was so exciting!

oh, i promised joseph that i would blog about this, and here it is: hahaha...i'm just laughing to myself writing this...
so we went to hand in our lab reports this afternoon, and mariam (our ta) was making this comment to jo about how all the girls in london will be flocking to him, and then right after adding on that all the guys in archeology are ugly....and jo totally missed the first part and thought she was calling him UGLY! and he didn't know what to say! so he didn't say anything for awhile! hahahaaa! (i'm totally on the floor laughing now...) the best part, was that we discovered this an hour LATER...and i was totally laughing into my food....yeh, so it doesn't really look that funny on paper, it was one of those "you gotta be there" type of things...

why am i breaking out? hmmm....maybe it was those hashbrowns i had all weekend....

SWEET! i FINALLY got my archives back up...it was a ton of manuel work, but it's back.

karen, you might be interested in the fact that i ran into tara choy today. well actually, tara AND the rest of her family. tanya just graduated from u of t this year, last week. they're both so slim and beautiful. tara's hair is so long now. i wonder if she's still with that guy she'd been seeing for the longest time. meh.

smcsu mtg tomorrow...i don't have one of those tape recorders....ech. it doesn't matter. those minutes won't be typed up until AFTER my lab report is due. i'm going to type THAT up tomorrow! *fingers crossed*

but now i'm going to hit the sack.

"To the world you maybe one person,
but to one person you may be the world"

Never say I love you
if you really don't care
Never talk about feelings
if they aren't really there
Never hold my hand
if you are going to break my heart
Never say you are going to
if you don't plan to start
Never look into my eyes
if all you do is lie
Never say hello
if you really mean goodbye
If you really mean forever
then say you will try
Never say forever
cause forever makes me cry

i cleaned my room...it was messy.

now i will finish my research on my lab report...

no, nothing is wrong...i'm just anxious to finish all these loose ends...

lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the book, lick the buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk, buk....

i've just realized that no one calls me at home anymore...and that amelia is ALWAYS talking on the phone...how sad is that? VERY sad... =(

is anyone up for a 10km run at center island july 27th? i'm really excited about that. alot of ppl are interested, andrea and ava sent out emails about that a while back but i was like "meh, i'll check it out later" and then i did, and now i think that it will be my personal goal to run 10km. especially since liz and i have started running around queen's park in the mornings...and i really really suck...i can just BARELY run 5 laps...i don't even know how many km's queen's park is.

why do i feel like i don't have time to slow down? i'm missing the SARS concert this weekend...i thought THREE WEEKS ago that i'd be having a hell week...but it hasn't stopped...it's kept on going...and i THINK that the end is finally near. i have a test tomorrow...(that's why i'm blogging right now...hahahaaa) and then my ant332 class will be over, and then i wonder if i will have done well in it? BUT there's a smcsu mtg this sunday, and i don't know when the marshal mtg is going to be AND i still have a lab report that's extended to monday, as well as that essay that was due...this monday...i know...i'm RETARDED...but it comes with the territory!

oh shit...before i forget even more...HAPPY BELATED B-DAY AVA (06/15) AND CHA!(06/18) i swear, if i hadn't run into christine or talked to karina, i wouldn't have known...i hope i get to see ava at the 10km thing, and i will try my hardest to book july 5th off (since it seems that everyone is finally getting their shit together for this gathering...)

i've discovered a new show..."clone high"...i recommend that everyone should watch at least one show, and see if you don't fall in love with it. what's it about? some mad scientist has cloned abe lincoln, cleopatra, ghandi, joan of arc, JFK, etc...and they're all in their teenage years going to highschool...it's on every night, 10:30pm on the toon channel...yeh i know, the guys have been watching this show since forever...well...i've just discovered it!

kirsten's having some sort of "chill out" party next friday. i hope everyone can make it to the maddy! it will feel soooo good to just RELAX...i swear, it was sooo good to see jerome and the girls yesterday in the office. i went to get liz after class, and then we went to mickey d's with kirsten, lisa and lauren for ice cream. i saw howe out there, it's always good to see ppl! everyone is sooo busy...why is that? we were all free, wandering spirits last year, and suddenly we've all just become adults...weird.

yeh, ames is reading comic strips on the internet, and i'm blogging...we're are being SO productive with our "studying"...hahahahaaaa

from Garfield: "i'm not FAT, i'm just UNDERTALL!"

i was just checking up on everyone's blogs...and flo...i was totally cracking up when i got to yours! it wasn't what you wrote...but the PICTURE in the background...COFFEE BEANS!!! that is soooo you! hahahahaaaa!

i don't know what to do. this has been such a rough weekend. work, work, and more work. ppl from my classes keep asking me questions (like i'm smart or something...) and i'm always like..."yeh, so i haven't started yet..." and then it makes me feel bad, but i'm just soooo tired...

spoke to eileen online yesterday! she's in chicago chilling at home, but we started talking about pol200 and how she got screwed on the final, blah blah blah...

i still haven't started my essay...but if you asked me what i did this weekend, i'd look at you blankly in the face and say "i dunno...i'm sooo confused"...don't i sound wacko?

queenie's coming to pick me up for brunch in half an hour, and what am i doing? i'm sitting at the computer chatting with my australian cousin, lachlan, about god knows what...I'M NOT PICKY!...but i must admit...perhaps i AM a slacker...heh heh
i haven't dressed yet...

wouldn't it be fun if i could fun around with time? then i'd make sure to fast forward all the boring stuff like school and work, and make my vacation time longer...nono...EVEN BETTER....if i could do WHATEVER i wanted...no worries about getting a job for money, just do as i please...such as have parties, travel the world, meet tons and tons of new people....would i get bored of that? i wouldn't know...but right now...i'd do anything to get outta here! i'm glad i'm not fune....(only philosophy ppl in my phl210 class would get that...)

i hate my hair...alot...

georges has stabbed himself...silly boy! who told you to cut your bread by sticking the knife towards your gut?!?!?! anyway, i wonder if this tops the time you stuck your hand over a very hot bottle rim? and really, go out and buy yourself a lottery ticket, you've got this AND plus it's friday the 13th on your side, so you're bound to get something out of this! (and then, if you win a million dollars, you can share some with me! ;p)

HEY! i might be vacationing in cancun! now wouldn't that be fun?!!? but DAYMN, i'm gonna have to work on looking good in a bathing suit! (it doesn't help when the tv's broken tho)

i don't think i like using the body bars...they make my shoulders hurt =(

Quote of the day:

a good friend will bail you out of jail…a true friend will be sitting next to you saying “damn, we fucked that up”

so do you want to hear the funniest thing? i got my lab report back today…this is the report that was due tuesday at 5 pm. i started it tuesday morning at 6 am, worked on it for 2 ½ hours, went to class, spent another 1 ½ hrs on it, went and worked out…and then finished it at 4:30pm and handed it in. now, considering I spent only 6 hrs on this thing, i thought i did TERRIBLE….like “peeyeu it stinks!” I even spelt the TA’s name wrong…can you imagine? So what did i get you ask? a B+….whoa….crazy….but not complaining…haha!

did a circuit training class with flo this morning…it was really good, done by the same instructor that does ABT. she sweated like there was no tomorrow…apparently it’s good to sweat a lot. flo informed me that a person that sweats a lot means that they are very healthy….interesting…now i understand why those asian girls don’t sweat…

went to fran’s for lunch with kirsten, lauren, and teresa. this girl i know, megan, waitresses there, and she was serving us, so it was fun times! but it was raining, and i’m sick and tired of this rain. i don’t know how much longer my dysfunctional umbrella will hold up!

had a 2 hr conversation with my philosophy professor…can you imagine? me having a conversation with my professor like i was having tea or something? i don’t know…she’s so young and so interesting, it’s hard to be intimidated by her! And she was great with all this advice and everything.

so nao and i believe that we will be dead tomorrow. We did the ABT class this afternoon, and considering i haven’t done that in like 5 weeks, i’m gonna be feeling it tomorrow. and then after class, we were just chatting on the steps of hart house, when georges called. so we stayed and waited for him to meet us there (going to workout). and then we talked for like half an hour before we had to go our merry way. and the whole time we were talking, ppl kept stepping into this huge puddle of water at the bottom of the stairs…like they couldn’t see it or something…so we started telling ppl that there was a puddle at the bottom of the stairs!

came home and talked to karen, gosh i haven’t heard from her in a long time. everyone wants me to go out with them this weekend, it’s insane. liz, holly, and christina are having a graduation party at the Bedford academy tomorrow night…plus there’s a marshal meeting that’s going on early tomorrow afternoon as well. I won’t be making to either of those…and then taline and the abbey girls are organizing a “girls nite out” saturday night at vinnie’s…. …probably won’t be going to that either. AND apparently mu, marko and georges thought i would be doing something with them this weekend, until ray told them i wasn’t. not that i don’t want to go, i really do want to see everyone, it’s just i have this crazy essay due monday, and another lab report (that i CAN’T do last minute AGAIN) and a test next friday. and sunday is father’s day, and my boss is organizing a music recital that day. when will I be able to do work? well, i should be doing it now, but it’s quite obvious that i’m not.

yesterday was matthew’s birthday, happy be-lated! i also went to see coldplay last night! wow were they good! they played a lot of songs from their new album, including politik, clocks, in my place, god put a smile upon your face, daylight, a rush of blood to the head, amsterdam, as well as trouble and yellow (old favorites!)…they also played my favorite favorite song, the scientist…it was soooo cool! i really enjoyed that.

anyway, i should start on my essay now…don’t want to do stuff last minute! hahahaaa!

why am i psychotic?!?!?!?
hmmm...well...if i wasn't...then i wouldn't be ME!!!! ;p

i've added new pictures...robin's bowling party...hahaha!
see here

they better not eliminate elyse next week....or else there will be hell to pay...

lets bet shall we? i bet that either elyse, kesse, or adrienne will be america's new top model, why? because i'm psychic. ;p now enough about that.

so i saw THE perfect couple on my subway ride home today. they were both tall, beautiful and immaculately dressed. The guy was in a beautiful smokey grey suit, with a grey silk tie, and the girl had perfect hair and makeup in a cream colored skirt and jacket. i couldn't help but keep staring at them. i'm sure they think i'm crazy, but hey, it's not everyday you see the perfect couple. heehee.

GUESS WHO I SAW?!?!?!?! chris martin from coldplay! not....nah, i only saw chris tidey, the new prez of VUSAC. he looks different now, i'm not sure what it is, but more...reserved? anyway, he's invited to me to come chill at the VUSAC office sometime. maybe i'll do that when i'm less busy, but i guess he's LONELY. poor mr. prez.

i also saw georges at hart house. it was weird. i was just finishing my run and flo was just finishing her bike, and then i turned around and it was georges! he told me the funniest story about the 15 yr old girl at the ROM who he met that night when he went to see those short movies with mu, marko and whoever else...so you say anna reads my blog? well then, HI ANNA! i hope you're having fun in Washington DC! i enjoy your live journal too! ;p

where has grace been? hiding? perhaps she's working at laura secord with jules, but why she hasn't bothered to mention that to me is beyond me. HEY! i want free ice cream! mwahahahaaa!

you know what else is really cool? getting $60 for wining & dining at that smc dinner. wow! i'm definitely going to volunteer to do this more often! the annual golf millenium classic is coming up. i'm letting everyone know now...ESPECIALLY smcsu ppl! we want you there to represent us! plus, you get to play golf with brian o'malley, president mcgowen and the such. i think a couple of priests are going too. no one went from smcsu last year, i forget why, but lots went the year before (the alessandro desimone year, haha). we've got to live up to our GOOD name (snicker, oh man)

before i forget again...COLDPLAY IS GOING TO BE IN TOWN TOMORROW! AND GUESS WHO WILL BE THERE?!?!? ME!!! that's right, BE jealous....very very jealous. AND it's a special someone's b-day tomorrow....i'll let you all guess! ;p

yay, coldplay!

it's all about sticking your foot in....and then swooshing it around...
i'm proud to say i thought that one up myself! ;p

it's about that lab report. i'm soooo lazy. i don't want to do it. i want it to do it without me. BUUTTT....that's not gonna be happening anytime soon. i think i'm starting to burn out...hmmm what give me THAT idea?!?!?! i'm not about to list it all again, so just read the last couple of blogs.

i'm so jealous of my friend, he's been all over the world...and the more i hear about his past and future travels, the more envious i get. i'm just a T.O. kinda girl. i really really want to go to australia this summer to visit my cousins, who keep bugging me about going...yes lachlan, this is directed to you...and lanthia, belinda and the rest of the crew that i've never met before. ooooh! the other place i also really want to visit is PARIS! but until i win the lottery, i think i'll stay away from there!

the library is good for absolutely nothing. i went to get some journal articles today, and i actually FOUND some articles (rough times, guys) and then i FOUND the BOOK on the shelf...but then when i opened it to find the actual article....IT WASN'T THERE...that's right, the exact pages of the book that i needed, were the one and the same that were not there. i swear, all the signs are saying i really don't need to do this assignment. =(

oh, and yup yup, in case you're wondering, i AM procrastinating! i can already see it...tomorrow night at exactly 8 pm, i will begin this mad rush to finish my report. of course, i'll probably end up with something really really crappy or it might even be late...either way, neither of these options seems very promising.

you know what? i think i'm just gonna up and blame it on the weather. damn rainy weather. it's JUNE...june, june, june....when was the last time it rained so much in june? plus i have very unreliable umbrellas...maybe that's why i have such a bad view of rain. i always find myself caught in rain with either no umbrella or broken ones. but then again, maybe i can attribute it to the fact that i'm cheapass, and buy cheap ones at chinatown. haha!

AHHHHHH! i just looked at my calendar, and realized that i have an essay due next week! ok, maybe i knew that...maybe i'm just hoping that it will ALL go away...maybe it's NOT going to go away...MAYBE i wouldn't be making such a big deal out of it if my boss didn't put her MUSIC RECITAL on the sunday (which also happens to be father's day)...

i really need to marry rich.

it's unbelievable...simply UNBELIEVABLE....i went to the library straight after i finished work at 4pm today...i got to robarts 5-to-5...and what is this? masses of students are streaming out of the building...as i walk to the building with a sinking feeling....i see the library hours are from 10-5pm on saturdays...i couldn't believe it...i spent $2.25 to come downtown for nothing.

i'm also majorly screwed for that lab report due on tuesday. the purpose of that library trip was to get some information for this lab...it obviously didn't go well. i don't wanna do it! *sigh* no use bitching about it on the internet.

on the brighter side, went to see "bruce almighty" with tanaka yesterday after work. that was a great movie. there was this one part where the whole theatre was just howling with laughter for a full 5 mins....i had tears coming out of my eyes it was so funny. and then afterward, evil tanaka led me to dynamite, and we bought some stuff there. i had to hide that bag from my mom when i went home...how sad is that? ;p

anyway, i guess i'll either sleep or start my lab now....

...sleep it is.

HEY! georges has a livejournal at here

i just thought it would be appropriate to waste time blogging instead of studying....i'm so smart! ;p

i'm just exhausted...beyond help. i've had 3 classes today, one which consisted of a test, one that needed notes to be made (because i'm a keener....no, i think it's cuz i need to set a good example....*pat pat on the back*), and one where i have a test...oh look! TOMORROW

plus i had to substitute for my lovely, yet annoying boss, monica. i hate subbing for her. when i see how well her kids are doing in piano because of her technique, and then i see mine floundering around cuz i'm all over the place, i just want to take over and pretend they're mine...hahaha....NOT!

shit, those notes i made need to be finished and sent out to everyone. *sigh* well, maybe they'll have it tomorrow night, maybe not...we shall see.

is everyone in crisis, busy mode like me?

tanaks, i'm not mad at you....it's just really difficult to reach you when you have no cell phone, no recording machine, and your line is always busy when you're on the internet. and by the by, i want to see a movie, but maybe not "bruce almighty", how bout "finding nemo"? i know i know, so dumb and gay, whatever...better then what georges suggested....SATURDAY MIDNIGHT MOVIE MANIA...something about horror movies, NO WAY. thanks very much tho.

i hate to say this, but alex really needs to get rid of that beard he's got. it's really not flattering on him....but no matter how much i tell him, he won't listen to me. did i mention that my class was freezing cold today? i almost couldn't stand it...it was soooo cold....like "hi, i'm going to die from hypothermia" kinda cold....plus it had to rain...the infamous rain...and my umbrella broke, how convienient, dumb umbrella.

hey, how's everyone doing? georges was so sweet today, told me some internet guy thought that i was a pretty asian girl...lemme guess, he was probably asian...ugh...i'll pass.

one more test to go, then i get to rest and start my lab report and essay...whooo hooo....*note sarcasm*

one last thing...i'd like to take the time to say hi to my cousins. HI. ok, done now.

so i've rebounded from my failing health. it wasn't very long, i was mostly ok by tuesday. however, i still feel like i have a wad of stuff still stuck in my throat, and it's not going away....

next week is my week of hell. i've got a philosophy test on wednesday and then an anthro test the day after. but what really sucks is that this is the same week that my boss is away examing, and i'm the substitute teacher ...meaning that i'll be working wednesday, thursday, friday night, AND all day saturday. plus i'm helping smc with some dinner tomorrow night so that means writing off a study day. shites.

don't get me wrong. i LOVE my classes, but there is sooo much information and too little time. i haven't really seen or spoken to anyone in awhile. everyone is in their own little bubble, just floating ladeeda. well, except for georges...hahahaha. (i always have to poke fun at you!)

"finding nemo" is out. i really want to see that movie. but i guess i'll have to wait until after hell week. but....COLDPLAY JUNE 11!!!!!! whoo hoo!!!! i'm sooo excited! mwahahahaa!

well, i guess i should be studying, since ames has graciously decided she wasn't going to the docks, hence me at home blogging. haha.

i really hate being sick. nono...i don't have SARS...at least i don't think i do. all i have is a majorly screwed up throat. i can feel the glands just expanded....and it hurts like heck to swallow. but i should have known i'd get sick. with all this rain, and cool weather...PLUS getting up at 6am in the morning to work out with dizzylizzy... the ONLY good thing out of this, is that my parents are happy i'm at home and possibly getting some studying time in, although i've been sleeping far more then studying.

i missed nici's art show yesterday cuz of this darn cold. and i don't think i want to go out this week at all. all i want to do is stay at home and sleep. but damn classes are going to force me up. i don't think the girls will be happy about me not going to dinner. ahhh.

so lisa, i tried to check my marks on rosi on friday, but i forgot my password, and now i have to go to the registrar's office to fix that up. my dad wasn't very amused (he's been bugging me about my marks) and he said my excuses were getting better and better...hahaha! how i wish i came up with that story all by myself! heehee!

my neck is driving me CRAZY! soup time!

you know what they say..."third times a charm"

we FINALLY made it to orfus road! we as in tanaka, karina, faye and me. wheeee! (i put that in cuz it rhymes! oh i'm sooo poetic! hahahah!) i must say, tanaka and i will be cutting up our cards...we can't go on spending all the money that we DON'T have! it's crazy. i think i spent like $60 yesterday on clothes, movie tix for matrix reloaded (which fully disappointed me....no georges, don't EVEN argue with me...), and food. never again...but then, we always say that, don't we? ;p

we need to all chip in to buy a car. you know we're ghetto when we ALL still take the subway, and when KARINA'S the one driving the car...(hell, i remember when we used to make fun of you cuz you were the ONLY one who still hadn't gotten your driver's license...look who has the last laugh!)

went to the danforth for greek food today. what ames says is right. we (as in our family) are dumb. who the heck drives 40 mins to the danforth to eat "mr. greek" when there's one 10 mins away from home? and then we went to main street unionville for....starbucks coffee....hahahaaaa! WHAT-EVER! we had fun. honestly, i don't remember the last time we went out as a family and made it back home all in one piece.

ahhhhh ...the birthdays = spending more $$$. for robin's b-day we went bowling. now that was a hell of a lota fun! met robin's lova (aka merrill..heehee) and her best friend, sonia and adam. can i mention here that i was the odd one out? not really, they were great fun. but i will like to say that matthew should have come, and then we'd be even. *shaking fist at matthew* he missed out on some great bowling. we don't bowl properly, when robin get's the pics developed, you'll ALL see!

as for kirsten and lauren's joint b-day party at bohemian thursday nite...that was great times guys! i was sooo afraid that i would have to leave before kirsten got there. but she made it! and then those two girlies got nicely wasted. i would have stayed longer except for early morning school the next day, and plus tanaks and i had spent the whole afternoon wandering around chinatown. hahaha! we're sooo ghetto! jp almost got me to stay by not letting me go. i love it when ppl love me! ;p plus, this gathering was good, cuz i got to see a whole bunch of ppl i haven't seen since the end of school. i thought tanaks wasn't enjoying herself, but apparently she was taking in the bunch of "characters" that i'd acquired through university. isn't it funny? you don't think your friends from highschool would have "other" friends, but we do. it's crazy.

anyway, this is shaping into an interesting summer. everyone is working in town and/or taking summer classes, so we're all around. too many parties and outtings, my parents are complaining they never see me. hmmm...maybe THAT'S why i'm getting along well with them...hahaha! but there is work to do, that i haven't been doing, so i should go do that now....

i have survived the retreat!

after two nights of no sleep, no showers, and tons of craziness...it all came to an end. i'm please to announce that no corpses had to be thrown into the caverns...hahaha.

a great lesson in council togetherness...although it would have been a hell of a lot more fun if more people came out. whatever. i'm home, showered...relatively rested! we'll just have to wait for those infamous pics to be developed!

new classes tomorrow. i wonder if i'm excited?

ah...i'm still tired. bugger.

whoa! i'm done and DONE!

yippee!

with 3 exams in 2 days...i've crammed and studied till my head was saturated with hobbes, locke, plato, aristotle, primates, hominoids, first language acquisition, and brain and language...i've been more then ready to dump the contents of my brain out...in favor for....NOTHING! mwahaha!

after my last exam on thursday, met up with tanaks and karina (who were all done their exams LONG AGO) for drinks at the maddy. but we were soooo tired (which is crazy) and so we ended up at the second cup for lattes...and then after THAT...i didn't sleep till 4am because i'm dumb and didn't think that the stupid coffee would keep me up all night.

met up with an elementary school friend at fairview on friday, charlene fong...wow it's been a long time! she's still as pretty as ever, if not more (once she was past the goth stage). she's totally into shoes...reminds me of someone i know....RITA!

watched X-MEN yesterday! that's a GREAT movie! didn't go shopping at orfus road because karina's a dumbass, and tanaka's worse...so we'll go on monday.

on a side note: my neck is feeling MUCH better, thanks for asking. mr. gabereau thought it would be fun if he lifted me and threw me on his bed cuz he thought his bed was SOOO soft, and that i'm so light that i'd go bouncing on it. yeh right. about as light as a boulder. but *tear tear* everyone's going home soon. that's gotta suck.

everyone pray that i get that job at jacob....i'll be getting great discounts on both the jacob, AND the jacob annexe that they are opening downstairs of the manulife center! whoo hoo! it's all about reeling off the names of managers, and chatting with the other store employees...hahahaaa...i don't care if GAP wants me to go back, i'm having none of that...

either way, this will be a wicked summer! it may begin......NOW!

what a bad teaching week!
i had FOUR no shows....FOUR...it's bad enough that i thought i had to work on good friday...but it's worse when you DO go to work, and then they don't show, and you call them up...and they yell at you cuz you're dumb...and didn't you know it was good friday and nothing is open on good friday? apparently the music studio was open on good friday...anyway, my boss called them back and they yelled at her too...except my boss yelled back at them...hahahaaa...there goes some clientele...oops!

so apparently faywood called like 3 days ago, but i didn't get the msg till yesterday...i hate my phone...why don't i have an answering machine?!?!?!? everyone's done exams, and i haven't even STARTED....damn it...i can't wait till i'm DONE!!!!! until then...

i emerged from my cocoon with lisa this early morning for a 9am breakfast with the smcsu breakfast club. while scooting over to robarts with lisa so she could return her books, we sidetracked over to trinity to look at their beautiful gothic buildings, and their anglican church. met up with the pol200 gang at 11am at diablos, and then we went to eat vegetarian vietnamese food on dundas and spadina!

let me tell you how much fun it is to be eating at these ghetto restaurants when i'm the only asian person in our group! the five of us, ben, robin, eileen, leah and i, split 5 dishes and enjoyed our meal immensely. ben mosied off to work after lunch and me and the girls went browsing at "in shoes" and then went through kensington market! matthew called and then we met up with him and nici for 2 hours at second cup, and then robin went home and eileen went to study...(study?!?!?!)

geordie, nici, matthew and i went to see "anger management"...what a funny movie...dumb, but funny...and then after, we went over to geordie and nici's apartment to eat and watch the leafs game! i think my day was more then fun!

it makes up for my last two boring days at home studying and getting myself reaquainted with "dharma & greg" and "will & grace", along with the regular "gilmore girls"! i'm surprised my bum hasn't made a huge impression of itself on the sofa yet...plus, the starbucks at bathurst and steeles sucks...i love downtown!

oh, before i forget...robin brought pictures, and she sent them to me...here are a "selection" of them that i've posted on my website... the others were just way too shameful to have floating around...

ooooh lala! the hottest boy in the world came to my house today! unfortunately, i don't know who he is...all i know is that he works for the college pro painters...and when he told me that i laughed...nono, not because i'm mean like that...but because i had just had a conversation with my good friend andrew price, and he told me that he got a job with the college pro painters this summer! either way, i had fun flirting with him...but that's it...i wish some of MY guy friends would just randomly come visit me...(hint hint) hahaha!

yeh, i really have nothing important to say, just that i'm done that essay (thank god!) and now i have to get myself into study mode...for exams....blah.

what a good day!
a good breakfast with the smcsu breakfast club, a nap at teresa's, a nap at diablo's before class (for the record, i was STILL tired in lec), went to see a house with joe vee, mike and brenden...and then went to kensington market for the first time and bought banana chips that were soo good! went to gabby's for half-priced chicken wings with kirsten and bronwyn where we watched some of the leafs game...THEY WON 5-3!!!! the best part was running into immanuel! i had mentioned to him last week how much i liked the group t.a.t.u. and then thought nothing of it...and today when i saw him, he had a present for me! he had burned a copy of the cd for me! how sweet! and that really made my day!

it's 11pm and as soon as i finish blogging, i'll be finishing this gosh-darn essay that should have been done last week! len emailed me MONDAY to tell me that my definition of freedom for hobbes was WRONG...luckily for me (though he didn't know this) i hadn't even STARTED my paper yet so really, no harm done...BUT he didn't need to know that...and i milked it for all it's worth! i got half my paper done yesterday, and i really don't want to spend anymore time on it, so i'm giving MYSELF up to tomorrow (i want to PARTY!) but really, it doesn't have to be in until friday (but let's pretend it's due tomorrow...psyche myself out!)

i'm soooo screwed on this essay...nono...not the fact that it's late (actually...everyone...I GOT AN EXTENSION! mwahahahaaa! but in the end...it means NOTHING!)

i emailed len my paper woes...and hopefully he'll email me back quickly so that he can put me on the right track and i can go my happy way...(no worries robin...i think i'm OK!)

in other news, i had to wash off the cutest smiley face with big ears, small feet and a large tuff of hair that nici drew yesterday, for my interview. it went alright...but i'll talk more about it if and when i get it. if you don't hear anything from me, then DON'T ASK!

i got the longest email from tanaka today. i think i had a heart attack when i realized i had to SCROLL DOWN! seriously! tanaka, i'm gonna jot down this date in my diary and write "today, tanaka wrote the longest email to me" hahahaaaa! oh man...inside joke!

and so i realized why i don't eat lasanga very often...too much cheese.

The Four Friends
Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow,
Leonard was a lion with a six-foot tail,
George was a goat, and his beard was yellow,
And James was a very small snail.

Leonard had a stall, and a great big strong one,
Ernest had a manger, and its walls were thick,
George found a pen, but I think it was the wrong one,
And James sat down on a brick.

Ernest started trumpeting, and cracked his manger,
Leonard started roaring, and shivered his stall,
James gave the huffle of a snail in danger
And nobody heard him at all.

Ernest started trumpeting and raised such a rumpus,
Leonard started roaring and trying to kick,
James went a journey with the goat's new compass
And he reached the end of his brick.

Ernest was an elephant and very well-intentioned,
Leonard was a lion with a brave new tail,
Goerge was a goat, as I think I have mentioned,
But James was only a snail.

A.A. Milne - When We Were Very Young

that is the cutest book in the world! thanks to nici for lending it to me! i read it home on the subway and it made me feel so much younger, relaxed, and it sort of brought me back to reality. afterall, since i've gone to university, i've been reading insane amounts of textbooks and philosophy books, and when i do go to chapters, i read magazines or archies...and this little poetry book made me think of being so little again and pretending and everything! this is why it's so great to be little again! i hadn't realized how much i'd grown up...sure i'm still CRAZY...but i'm older crazy!

anyway...just another indication that i'm still little...i hole-punched my finger...yup that's right...i HOLE-PUNCHED IT! i was hole-punching some notes, but i wasn't really paying attention to what i was doing...i was listening to my sister and dad's conversation...when it happened...yeh...silly me...i'm such a klutz! georges paid $45 for a nipple piercing monday, and i get a free finger stabbing at home...hahaha

so it's snowing...again...what happened to spring?!?!? but it's a COOL snow...it's very feathery...like you can slid in the snow...and the snow will go FLYING in little pebbles...it's fun...but still...i'm tired of the snow! it ruined a beautiful nite of classical music! i went for about an hour of philharmonic concert being held at hart house...immanuel invited me to go...and i haven't listened to any REAL classical music for a very long time and went to see them...i was there to hear them play beethoven's symphony no. 5 in C minor, Op.67....it was sooooo good! i'm glad i went...but i felt bad cuz i was missing vivaldi and igor stravinsky's firebird suite! ahh!

i spent two hours at second cup! what a GREAT two hours! i was there with robin, matthew, geordie and nici...and it was sooo much fun! i don't think i've laughed so much in such a long time! it's such a different atmosphere with these ppl! it's so much more fun, and crazy! everything is sooo laid back and not so serious...and you don't have to watch what you're doing or saying...no back stabbing or anything retarded...so...free...

all in all, a fun day...week....whatever...BUT now i must get started on my essay that was due....today!

wow...and double wow...formal is so done and done...they're up on my site...here...btw...i stole these pics from lily...i'll have more up after i develop my own pics!

everyone looked sooo good! i can't wait to get my pics developed! i think everyone had an amazing time last nite! many scandals and fiascos...but then...that's all part of the packaged deal! we didn't have dinner until sometime after 8pm, but that was because there were about 200 ppl stranded at kelly...waiting for the buses to come back from woodbridge during rush hour. and then when dinner DID begin, the chicken was soooo dry that i had to drink my oh-so-lovely rum and coke to make it better! ;p

mr. tidey is an awesome guy! he danced the last song with me! ...oh...he also sang the entire song while we were dancing..."lady in red"...except that he changed the red to black because i was wearing a black dress! everyone was raving about the "schaefer originals"...which were the 6 dresses kirsten made for the girls...the models included lisa, jeanne, beata, bronwyn, liz, and ms. schaefer herself...me? i personally had mine made by jacob...actually...so did a whole bunch of other ppl...and the best thing was...no one was wearing the same dress!

so many ppl got piss ass drunk and shit-faced it wasn't even funny! but whatever...i'm fine...and that's what counts! ;p

ahhhhh....it feels sooo good to have less stress! SYMPOSIUM IS DONE! yay!

i personally did not think it was that great of a success...i mean, sure everything went well...but i don't think enough administration came, however...that's prolly our fault...we never sent out formal invites to them...and we didn't do enough advertising so not alot of ppl came...but the ppl that DID come, really enjoyed the meal...and the rest of the evening!

eileen called me 5 mins before i got the hall to ask me where is was...b/c she was standing in a corner by herself eating cheese! poor dear! but i was there soon enough and everything was well! matthew came with geordie and nici...and it was kinda funny because they were relatively underdressed next to everyone else...i have like 3 pics up from last nite on my website so you can check that out here...we had soooo much food! but everything was all good! whatever...i'm DONE!

vote for lauren troncone, jp gilberto, rosie ienco, frank miceli and...matthew di giovanni!...ah...what for? italian club executives!

i'm soooo proud of everyone! i think this will be a good council for the new year! yay!

in other news, i'm inhaling mom's cookies by the dozen...and THAT is NOT GOOD...US is at WAR with IRAQ...SYMPOSIUM is this SUNDAY at fr. madden hall...$5 for dinner and discussion...and tons of WINE! hahahaa...matthew's my "official date"...hmmm...that IS good news! the cross-trainer at hart house is awesome...i'm trying to figure out how to haul it home with me...teehee...and yes, i've skipped piano....AGAIN...it's not my fault if we're selling formal tickets like the world's gonna end!

i had sooo much fun last nite!

st. mike's had a st. paddy's day party at the Courthouse...and everyone was dancing and drinking...and most everyone was there! how fun are st. mike's party you may ask? i dunno...the only reason i had a blast is cuz i knew like every other person...except for the old ppl that were there. i should go to partys more often...i see ppl there that i haven't seen in the longest time...like kevin, (hahaha...he thought i was still in botany with him...that just goes to show how up to date we are), joe figs and niebaum (VOTE JOE AND MIKE FOR PREZ AND VP), jason ngo (wow i haven't seen him in over 6 months...and the haircut he's gotten makes him all the more attractive), matt mclean and patterson (mclean was soooo wasted...but we kept on giving him drink tickets)...and john and andrew (yes susan, the boy you're infatuated with...he was there looking great)... reza introduced me to one of his frat boys...hot boy who doesn't mind picking up older women...too bad...such a waste...hahahaa...everyone looked AMAZING...i loved lisa's top! and after the fiasco we had earlier yesterday, kirsten's top came out perfectly as well!

ah..but yes...my boots are broken...welll....do i have a story to tell...(really...it has nothing to do with boots...but just to change the topic)

so flo, i still hold the prize to stupidest things done at the AC...remember when we went swimming for 40mins and we came back, and i'd had left my locker open for all to see and take? and remember when we went to a step class and came back to see that i had left all my clothes on the bench? yeh...well this one takes the cake....

so i went to AC to put all my stuff away, and went to hart house to workout (yay treadmills) in only my workout gear and my jacket...after working out, made my way back to AC hoping to get a lovely shower, clean up and go on with everything else i'd planned to do...except....that the AC was...CLOSED. yup yup...to make a long crazy story short...the sweaty little asian girl had to call campus police to come open up the place so that i could grab my stuff....nutty

on a different note:
DO NOT PAY MONEY TO SEE "THE GOOD THIEF"...it's a really really horrible movie...and hour and a half of watching a horribly aged nick nolte...i don't care that the movie was free (well...actually...that's the only reason i went) it was TERRIBLE. well...i lied...there were two reasons i went and one of them was b/c it was free...the other was cuz it was mu's b-day and all the guys at sorbara went...hey...me and a bunch of guys? who wouldn't go?!?!?!?! for mu's b-day present, georges, pat, ray and i bought him a new set of headphones....good idea considering his old ones were quite literally...dead

so falafel is quite good. never had it before, but i think it's working out fine. i've had soo much sushi these past 3 days that i think i've sworn off veggie and shrimp tempura for awhile...i haven't mentioned...i hate 4 particular words put in this phrase:
ALL YOU CAN EAT
i really really really hate that phrase...my dad has some sort of thing where we have to go to a buffet at LEAST once a week...if we're lucky...otherwise it's more...but i hate eating at these places b/c you feel the need to eat as much as you can in order to satisfy the price you pay...and then you eat enough for 10 ppl...and then you feel gross...and by the way...i've inherited dad's genes...no matter how much i exercise or eat properly...i still weigh the same...bugger...why couldn't i have inherited mom's fast metabolism?!?!?!?! WHY WHY WHY?!?!! ugh

anyway, there's hw to be done, ppl to talk to on the phone...and sleeping...hahaaa..

i don't feel like working...i'm actually really dumb...i've finished all my research for my paper due tuesday, last week, but i don't want to start the actual process of putting the information together...i think it's biological...as if my brain goes..."WHOA! you might actually finish this paper EARLY..." and then my brain shuts down for a week so that i can catch up on the days and then work my ass of the day of....so typical of me...

ooh ooh...gotta promote the symposium...march 23rd 5:30pm at st. mikes...$5 for good food and better entertainment! tickets on sale march 10th at the smcsu office...heeheeheee

is it just me or is everyone sick and tired of all this snow? just for the record, i'd like to find out who those weather broadcasters were...the ones who said that we'd be getting less snow, and an early spring...i'd like to give them a piece of my mind...THINK SPRING! SPRING! SPRING! SPRING!!!!! you know...flowers and birds and warm weather.....especially warm weather cuz i don't want to wear a heavy coat to the formal!

for all my friends in poli sci...you missed one of the best poli sci lectures on thursday! prof kingston was away at a funeral and one of her TA's took over her evening class...why was it good? because she wasn't teaching IT!!! i took some sick notes....some of the best in this class! yasin ran after me after class and walked me over to st. mikes...isn't that nice? ;p

anyway, i should start putting my paper together....

*sigh* i'm so sad...
i've been bitten by the jealousy bug...
i think i'll go sleep

i am UTTERLY EXHAUSTED!

so i'm sitting in the smcsu office at 8:30am in the morning. nono...not for an 8:00am mtg...we'd had that the past three days...so sleep at 1am and waking up at 6am...HELLO!?!?!?!? this is a little princess we're talking about...she needs at least 8-9hrs of sleep...and i'm NOT getting it! the gramm is driving me to an early death...the past week has just been hassles about pics needing to be re-scanned, not being in the right dpi, GETTING the pics, burning it onto a cd...

not to mention all the extra fitness classes i've been going to at hart house and AC...wow i love those classes! i've always been too scared to go by myself, and now i've found a fitness class buddy in teresa! we did the ABT (abs, butt, thighs) yesterday at hart house...we nearly DIED! the guy doesn't stop giving us exercises! but afterwards, we felt sooo good! and i see so many abbey girls there too!

smcsu mtgs at 8am are sick! the only good outcome is the fact that i've been named the chair of the scholarship committee AND i get to be a paid polling clerk because rob and jp are the new CRO's for the election! whooo hooo!!

so who ran into one of her "current" fav boys at the library today? ..... ME! hahaha! i was at robarts (yech! robarts! yech!) doing some research for anthro on the fifth floor when i hear a whispered shout (hahaha...what an oxymoron...a whispered shout...) coming from behind a computer...my boy! teehee...so then we had a good conversation about what we were doing at the library and what was going on in our mundane lives...too bad i had to cut it short because i had to do research....ah well...makes seeing him the next time BETTER!!!!! ;p

the gramm is coming along...slowly...but coming along...we've finally finished picking the submissions that will make it in...now we're in the process of finishing the layout...i finished the written portion of the layout...and last time i checked...lisa and liz were sticking in the pictures...i think it's going to be AMAZING! and hopefully, the gramm will be printed and ready to be handed out at the symposium.

ah...the symposium...what a mindbuster...we have to start looking for sponsorship and we have to finish picking our speakers. i keep forgetting that flo is my co-chair and not lisa...and everytime i remember to tell lisa something about the symposium, i remember that it's NOT her i tell but FLO...and by then i'd have seen her already and she'd left and i'd have to pick up the stupid phone to call her again...

okok...gilmore girls...i think that rory is having second thoughts about her relationship with jesse...i think she'll go back to dean...however...after seeing the sneak preview for next weeks episode...it looks like she'd have done "it"...but i think she'll regret it...i think...ah well...we'll seeeee.

just for the record...it doesn't feel like reading week...and hobbes is dragging me down...that book is sooooo horrible to read! HORRIBLE I SAY! why can't someone write the book in modern day language?!?!?! PLEASE?!?!?! he can't SPELL! ugh....

i hope everyone is having a good reading week! and what am i doing this week? READING!!! hahahaaa (ok...it wasn't THAT funny)

but i definitely will be trying to get all my papers and reading done so that i can enjoy the rest of my year in peace!

so i went swimming at the AC for the very first time last wednesday...but of course it has to be an adventure as always! i went with susan and eileen from poli sci and being girls we happened to be 45mins EARLY...the pool didn't open till 12:10pm...so we sat around in our wet bathing suits and then we had a great time swimming! except for the fact that i can't breast-stroke or do the front stroke properly...i think the only thing i can do is the back stroke...i'm soooo retarded...

COLDPLAY is coming to town june 11th!!!!!! i've gotten tickets for me and ames...thanks to wongie and bozek for getting them for us! eeeeeee! i'm sooo excited! i can't wait to hear them play!

what? it's like 9pm and i'm sooooo tired....why? i don't know...maybe because the stupid smoke detector went off this morning at an ungodly hour (yes 8:30am on a sunday is an ungodly hour)...but i don't even understand why...there was no smoke...ugh...it's god playing tricks on us...but is it god? yep...that's what happens when you read a book like "Sophie's World" now THAT is an amazing book...a VERY good christmas present from a VERY good friend of mine, marko...thanks man!

even during reading week, i'll be downtown tomorrow...gramm mtg....ugh....did i mention about the symposium? we had food tasting for that last week...the food will be AMAZING...yum...drooling just thinking about it...but no more food for me...i'm full now! ;p

happy belated b-day juju! mwa! ;p

my hands smell like oranges...hmmm...maybe cuz i just had an orange?!?!?!? so i went to shoppers yesterday to buy one stick of vanilla lipsmackers that costs $1.99...i walk out of shoppers having spent $25.24 on cosmetics....BUT i got a free charm bracelet! hahahaa...my mom was like "omg...i can't believe you spent over $25 just to get a stupid bracelet" (okok...she didn't say it like that...i rephrased it in my language)

i'm kinda exhausted right now...hmmm...maybe because i've worked all day...

wow! i think i kicked some linguistic ass! but the weather soaked mine... =( yesh...after my test tonite...i walked to the station in the freaking ice rain...i swear i was wet head to toe...and it was COLD! blah...anyway...i'm home now...in my nice comfy pj's! ;p

so i ran into joe valenti at 2pm as i was going to meet flo...and after a fun filled hour of listening to good 'ol records/cd's in the records room at hart house, i went over to study for my ensuing test with joe. and i think we studied for like 2 hrs...but it got boring cuz honestly, how much can you study for this test? that's right...not much...so we decided to go over to gabby's for monday nite half-priced wings...seriously...this is getting to be a regular habit...and it's not that good....there goes all my red-pocket money...hahahahaaaa...

ah...before i forget....HAPPY B-DAY GRACE! don't think we've forgotten about you! i haven't! ;p

my ankle hurts...that's not good...

happy belated chinese new year! although, how happy it is, i'm not too sure. i worked all day yesterday so i didn't really know about the columbia explosion until sometime in the afternoon. after i heard, i wanted to read about it, to inform myself what happened, how important it was, and why everyone was so sad about it...and after i read the articles on the internet i understood.

on that note, i'd like to bring everyone's attention to the fact that i have a linguistics midterm tomorrow, and i frankly have no desire to study for it (nono...has nothing to do with the news...i'm just plain LAZY)...no matter...it's only 5:30pm right now...i still have PLENTY of time to study...

georges has cut off his hair...again...please tell me it wasn't house of lords...that place is CRAZY! but for the record...the hair doesn't look that bad from the front....i can't say about the back...haven't seen it! ;p

already...gotta do some eating and watching tv...

jules, you are the LAST person on earth that i would think needed to go on a diet. it drives me crazy how you and so many other ppl who are perfectly normal and alright would go around and make yourselves sick by going on nutty diets like slimfast. i was in costco today and i actually took a look at the product...and basically, it's saying that if you want to lose weight, just eat slimfast for lunch and dinner....and then...as an afterthought, they say...and OH YEH....eat healthy fruits on the side...that's BULL SHIT. if you're overweight, the first thing in your mind should be getting healthy, not losing weight...the weight loss comes along with the shaping up and being healthy...if you just up and lose weight, sure you might lose weight quickly (and gain it back even faster) but you're hurting your own body....and i just realized that i'm going totally berserk in this blog...but it's just that i don't want to see any of my friend/family going on with these eating disorders...that sucks...i hate the media...

so i was stuck at FIRST MARKHAM PLACE tonite for about 3 hrs...and it was quite brutal...i mean it's fun walking around for about half an hour...but after awhile you realize that you've walked the entire mall 3 times already and that the place is PACKED...with asians...hahahaaaa...the only good thing is that there are sooo many jewelery and bead stores, so i had a bit of fun looking at the pretty things! i can't wait to have a go at pacific mall sometime...they have awesome deals there...and the jewelery selection is so much better then at the english malls (ie. fairview, yorkdale...etc..) cuz they only have bittersweet, and ardene and claires and then that's it...so YEH! ;p

plus...i'm tired and full now

soooo sooolleeeEEEEE for not blogging in a loooonngggggg while...

i just came back from watching two plays at the U of T drama Festival...i actually paid to see 3 plays, but since the SMC play was the 2nd one and just happened to finish at 9pm (the time i'm supposedly done class) i decided that i'd rather go home then sit and watch a 3rd play that just happens to be an hour long...and hour much too long...but yes...i watched a chinese play in cantonese that was kinda dumb...but nice to watch since i got to listen in..duh...cantonese...it was like watching one of those chinese sitcoms that i used to watch with grandma when i used to have...TIME...something about a girl who's a lesbian...coming out to her boyfriend and mother...it seemed to me that the play was quite unfinished...but whatever...the best one was SMC's Henrik's House which was AMAZING....a round of applause to the cast who were fabulous...but it was even better cuz my dearest boys...COLIN OLIVER and SEAN BATER...were in it...NICE!!!

so yes...i've been a wickedly busy girl the past couple of weeks...i swear i'm gonna drive myself insane...but let me sum it up for anyone who cares what i've been doing...

i went to the AC today in the first time in AGES....that means before the winter holiday...it's amazing how much i miss that place...i saw all these ppl there and i got all excited! i worked my ass out with robyn who i happened to run into in the washroom, and just missed liz and her 4pm "showing" (okok...that sounds awful...basically we were in the change rooms and i didn't notice she was right next to me...changing...) and then on my way out to class (which i was 5 mins late for...but whatever...it's poli sci...i didn't miss much) i ran into ava! and the funniest thing was that i ran into her AGAIN after i came from EINSTEIN's with the poli sci group...hahaha...i swear...this is getting to be a regular thing...i haven't decided if that's a good thing or not...i don't like sitting around while the smokers get smoke in my face...but again...whatever...

hmmm...that seems to be the word of the day...

spent the entire day with karina yesterday...went shopping...(SHOPPING! YAY!) walked into GAP and was bombarded with ppl who love me...(it's great to be loved!) went to zara with flo and tried on these strapless dresses that didn't fit properly (they billowed out like i was pregnant)...and then discovered that they were actually NOT strapless dresses but were SKIRTS! haahhahha...and then karina and i went to gabby's for dinner...after she went to my tutorials...hahahaaaa...they were sooo pointless...but that's besides the point...faye, tanaka...girls...we gotta go take like a bus trip to niagara falls during reading week...and spend a wkend at casino rama! yah! ;p

monday was pointless...except for dinner at mr. maharajah's with georges, mu, marko and bill...hahahaaaaaa (notice how i'm the ONLY girl in the group...it's GREAT) i'd never eat indian food if it was just me...but these guys have introduced some awesome food...the non-spicy onces anyway...

anyway...that seems to be the most fun stuff that i've done this week...part of the downfall includes getting a retarded head cold last nite...gave me such a headache that i actually came home early and went straight to bed...can you imagine? bed at 9pm...wow that's early...but i needed it...i'm killing myself...it's a good thing i quit my job at GAP...the funniest thing is that it's quite obvious that i haven't been deleted from the database yet...they keep calling me in to work shifts...what can i say? i'm loved!

yello! what's up with jello? hahahaa...i'm sooo sick it isn't even funny...the only good thing is that i can now BE fully sick since my poli sci test is done and over with!

went to EINSTEIN'S with a bunch of the poli sci ppl after the test yesterday to do some good 'ol drinking! i believe susan and matthew will be hooking it up soon, since now that susan's broken up with her boyfriend...damn her tho...i want him! hahahaaa...he's soooo cute...the type where you just want to pinch his cheeks! hahaha! whatever...i think they get along much better tho...they sound like an old married couple...

had bubble tea with georges later that evening as well...he's been sick too...and now that i think about it...i think he gave it to me...meh...and plus, i can't decide if he's getting better or not...i can definitely say that i won't be getting better anytime soon...working today was brutal...it was soooo cold outside, and everytime the door opened, the drafts came in great big gusts...and everyone on the women's floor was FREEZING...we were all sporting scarves and coats...at least those accessories were doing well! heh heh...

well well...tomorrow is my last day, and the funniest thing of all? i haven't even seen or spoken to the general manager since i got the letter that wanted me back...in fact...i didn't even hand it in to her either...it'll be interesting tomorrow is all i can say. however, i'll be getting a $100 gift card for myself...hahahahaaaa. something to remember the GAP by...when i see something i like...especially that denim bucket hat i like so much...i'll see how it goes with the new "look" i'm sporting...if you want to know what it is...you'll have to seek me out personally!

went thru another quarter-life crisis this week, it didn't help how there were sooo many factors that were completely over-whelming me...but i've made it thru...and now I'M BACK! hahaha...that just reminded me of that viagra commercial that i've read on the bus and subway!

so i'm having a sneezing fit now...i think i'll go to bed early today!

hello. i'm still alive...but BARELY...

i have soooo much work to do that i figure what difference does it make if i spend another couple of mins typing on my blog? that's right...i have absolutely NO FREE TIME...i was whispering to raz in poli sci class yesterday and he was commenting on my "disappearance" from the sorbara 3rd floor rez...hahahaa...classic...

winterfest is going on right now...beginning with the "opening ceremonies" wednesday afternoon, of course i ran into joe valenti and he "MADE" (i SWEAR i was quite intent on going) me skip class...and we had a wicked snowball fight with vic and trin...chris tidey brought 2 tubs of ice cream and we started throwing scoops of ice cream at deans...but in the end, we started scooping ice cream and eating them out of our hands...deans and polish paul made a giant snow penis that made it in the front page of the independance...there was ice skating at city hall which i didn't go to because i had class and TONS of work to do on the botany assignment that's due monday...but i'm soooo dead...even tho jay and i worked 4 hours on it before the smc hockey game against vic...which we lost...boooo....but either way...let's just say that it's DRAMA all the wayyyy...

i feel very overwhelmed with everything that's been going on...but talking to carl on the phone made everything MUCH better...but still...it doesn't help that i'm doing an insane amount of stuff...two jobs, winterfest and smcsu, going to classes and doing schoolwork, taking care of grandma, AND trying to maintain some sort of social life with my girls and guys...oh well...i asked for it. and now i have it. so i gotta do work now....

i've met an ACTOR! wow! that's soooo cool! his name is richard...and he works as a stock boy at GAP on the side! and i went out to dinner with him tonite! eeeeeee! and when he makes it big...i can say i went out to dinner with him! ;p (on a side note: we got new flow in and the stuff looks AMAZING...they wanted me to work the overnite shift but i declined...smart girl i am!) THEY WANT ME BACK! i feel so wanted!

and in the end...i see two movies...about schmidt and chicago...and they were both AMAZING movies! ;p chicago's so good that i wouldn't mind seeing it again, but i don't have the time so i'm just glad that i've seen it! thanks to huey, eric, tony, flo and ames for making new years day a FUN DAY! 3 guys and 3 girls, two sisters - two brothers - bro & sis, 4 asians and 2 italians...can you call us the odd bunch? but it was good times! chicago is highly recommended! about schmidt was good too, jack nicholson always ALWAYS has excellent roles...he really really gets on my emotions! and since i haven't seen marko and georges in a long time, it was a blast! ;p

georges is BACK! (well now, i think we all knew that from the last sentence...but that's besides the point) And we went to ZYNG last nite with the rest of the abbey crew...i really really hope cha is alright, since she downed two glasses of wine after her mom found out a BIG secret...and it's always good to see alanna and faye! karina's piercing looks awfully painful and tanaka...she's just classic...a dress and high heels in a snow storm...that's all i have to say about that! hahahaha!

we cleaned the office yesterday, it actually looks livable...we still need to have the floors cleaned, and THAT will be good...helped allemano buy some new GAP clothes...he's soo happy! i love making ppl happy! and when i'm helping him choose clothes and see how they look, i feel like his personal shopper! the GAP warmest vests are on sale for $39.99! great steal! ahahaha! ;p (you know you're a sad sad case when you start advertising for your store....for FUN!)
