I am worth :$2,044,540.00. nice to know that i'm worth SOMETHING!!!

ahhhh! to relax my feet! i've been walking since 11am this morning! met up with karl at finch, went to union station, and looked at building rocks for 2 1/2 hours! had lunch at duke's at eaton centre then scooted down to castle frank where we JUST made it to our group! (can you imagine if we missed them?!?!?) had a NICE tour...but it was SOOO HOT! like a sauna! we were all perspiring (sweating...eww!) and all these beads of water all over us! for 3 HOURS!!!! we walked soooo much...walked to rosedale where carl (the other carl) and i went to some pub and i had 2 pepsi's and he had something to eat! good times!

ooh...and now i'm sun tanned! very very nice! i have bra lines! hahaha! but karl and i found some awesome looking building rocks...at the royal york are some BEAUTIFUL serpentine rocks...and the bce place had some AWESOME looking amonite fossils! mwahahaha! now i'm tired...gilmore girls it is!

Carl: "Ah, sweetheart, don't destroy it. I didn't mean to make fun of it. It's cute. Honest."
Annie: "It isn't meant to be cute. Now stop acting so silly, Carl, and get back to your torts."
Carl: "What torts? Tell me what torts? You are my tort; my one and only tort. The first time I laid eyes on you, I said to myself: She's the tortiest tort in the world. And she's for me."
hahahahaaaa.....i laughed myself silly reading this on the bus...i'm pretty sure the other ppl on the bus with me thought i was some sort of psycho maniac who laughs at herself...oh dear...and i tried SO very hard not to laugh! hahahah!!! oh oh! the tears in my eyes!

finally! i finished my essay at 2pm this afternoon...quite proud of it if i do say so myself...and i was on msn all nite and all day with cahyee helping her find stuff on the net and just being SUPPORT! so i was planning on going downtown right away so we could proof-read our papers when marko called...wow...i thought you forgot about me! ;p but apparently you didn't...he called thursday about the movie...but i missed the call! (stupid caller id! i sooo need to get it!) and so it was fun talking on the phone! heehee...marko's such a busy boy that i have to book dates with him in advance! ;p no prob!

"I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world"

so i went downtown to look at rocks (buildings made from natural rocks) and found...nothing...eh...what a waste of time...but i'm going with karl tomorrow to union so maybe they'll be something good there! went over to wetmore and we went over our papers...yay! went to bbq's with cahyee for chicken fingers and fries...met up with her friend brady and HIS friend glen and it was all good! i think you've got a potential job offering there! hahaha...went to class, and then we went with isabelle to gabby's for chicken wings! hahaha!

why does it have to rain? i hope it doesn't rain tomorrow! i don't NEED to walk in the rain! oh! my stupid running shoes gave me blisters at the back of my heels and the left blister broke before i realized it! WHY?!?!? it's never done this to me before! my best friends! my SHOES! what have i done to you to make you do this to me?!?!? ugh...so i wonder what i'll wear tomorrow?!?!?

WOW....that's the best i could come up with...the number of ppl over at the downsview area...poor pilgrims...i woke up at 9:30am this morning to the sound of rain...i don't think anyone would have gotten much sleep last night...i stayed up watching the mass on tv...and then watched this morning's one too...the pope gives GREAT homily's...he may be old and tired...but he's still got that FIRE raging inside! he's still very sharp...he's sooo cool...and then after the mass (which took a VERY long time) he got on his blue helicopter and they flew near our house as he was going to st. jo's (haha...us abbey girls used to make fun of our rivals calling them st. ho's!!!!) and we were like...wow...and then went back to our pizza...i don't think i'm going to be forgetting this great event anytime soon...go to flo's blogger to read what she wrote...i almost cried reading it...

and she's right...i gotta finish this essay!!

so yesterday's green didn't really turn up good...oh well...TOUGH! highlight it! hello? didn't I read juju's blog when there were all these pics of julia stiles in the background? yes! so?!?!?

kirsten had this really great idea where we add our nicknames and if we're single/attached on our bios...it's soooo good...except...now i gotta email EVERYONE AGAIN and hassle...AGAIN....i hate hassling...it's soooo hasslie...ick...but whatever...as i said before...if you don't get me pics...it's gonna be powerpuff chick for you! ;p (i got that great idea off des' and jona's blog!)

why is the pope's head always craned to the side? i guess cuz he has all these divine stuff in his brain cavity and it's weighing the head down...hmmm...poor guy...all these ppl looking at him...i'd totally freak if all these ppl were looking at me...i mean...i couldn't even pick my nose...or a wedgie cuz then everyone would see...not that i do that or anything...

where's ames? at wonderland...with juju...girls...today is one of the muggiest days in a long time...ok...maybe not...but either way...as if you girls didn't get enough a tan on wednesday when you went to the golf tournament...now you're going for killer skin burning...mwahahahaha!!!

"On a September afternoon in 1961, a baby girl's first cry rang out. A new life had begun.
Her mama rocked her in her arms and she kissed the tiny brow.
And she said, 'Darling I'm just as scared as you. But I promise you somehow.

I will take care of you. The very best that I can.
With all of the love, here in my heart. All of the strength in my hands.
You're every joy I share. For every tear I shed my whole life through.
I will take care of you.'

On a September afternoon in 1985, that little girl had grown into a beautiful young bride.
And she turned to the man who held her hand, in front of the waiting crowd.
They smiled at each other as they spoke, and this was their wedding vow.
And they said..

'I will take care of you. The very best that I can.
With all of the love, here in my heart. All of the strength in my hands.
You're every joy I share. For every tear I shed my whole life through.
I will take care of you.'

On a September afternoon, in 1989, the girl waiting by a hospital bed, never leaving her mother's side.
She said, 'Mama, oh don't you close your eyes. Try to get some rest. It's my turn to take care of you. I learned from the best, I will take care of you.'

With all of the love, here in my heart. All of the strength in my hands.

On a September afternoon in 1991, a baby girl's first cry rang out.
A new life had begun."

faywood called this afternoon...she and tanaka spent the whole day trying to volunteer for wyd and they were told they could but then they couldn't get clearance from some police thingy and then they tried to go to the police station but it was closed (closed?!?!?) and then they called to see if i wanted to see austin powers 3 with them...except that i'd JUST gotten home from a whole day of teaching piano (from 8am) and doing mundane shopping with my parents....i'm soooo exhausted...i would have fallen asleep at MIIB except that we kept laughing at will smith's ears and the silly little wonky guys in the locker...but today...i have no energy...i've just printed 48 pages of font size 10 times new roman of these 9 articles for my essay that's due monday...now i hafta read it...oh boy...

at least i think i have a good topic...gotta do well in this class...so off i am to do some reading...and to watch the pope wave at ppl...we're sooo easily amused...

oh..and before i forget...i scanned in our pics from the other day...and i put it on my website...but now THAT'S not working...i wonder why...oh well...i'll wait till ames gets home before i bother her into helping me...yay...

ME! ugh...and plus...the mall is filled with pilgrims from world youth day...yes yes...how terribly negligent i've been in not mentioning what's up with them...they've only been in town since tuesday...and i'm soooo proud of our mike allemano...yes...OUR mike...st.mike's MIKE! who works on strawberry island where the pope's been residing at and i do believe the newspaper says that he's met the pope....NICE!

"My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own

In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes

flo has a blogger now too...it's under my favorite blogs...you gotta ask her what she means about the shrimp!!! hahahaaaa!!! that was CLASSIC!!! alright...i don't know what i'm talking about anymore...i'm going into the zone i think it has something to do with lack of sleep...oh and SHITES! i have to work at 8:45am tomorrow...damn damn damn....this is so stupid...who needs this in the summer?!?!?!?!?

and number 3.....now if only someone will drop zoo252 for me...

luckily, tim saved me from tutorial and we trudged over to bloor and spadina, met up with ester....went to a suchi place and met up with mimi and jamie! it was good...except i had chicken wings at o'grady's with charlie and carl! hahaha....luckily...i've still got it! ;p

MRS. KIM: It’s early for you to be in bed.
LANE: I’m tired.
MRS. KIM: Come downstairs and have some tea.
LANE: No, thank you.
MRS. KIM: I know you’re upset but I have these rules for a reason. I’m your mother, I know what’s best for you.
LANE: Can we talk about this tomorrow please?
MRS. KIM: You see, this is exactly why I make these rules. You’re too young, too vulnerable. American boys have different values, they don’t understand respect, you get hurt. I do all of this so you don’t get hurt and now here you are hurt. I don’t like this, I don’t like this at all. Who is he, this boy who hurt you?
LANE: Henry Cho.
MRS. KIM: Cho?
LANE: Yes.
MRS. KIM: Cho sounds Korean.
LANE: It is Korean.
MRS. KIM: He was Korean?
LANE: Yes, and he was smart and wonderful and cute.
MRS. KIM: And – and you’re sure he was Korean?
LANE: He’s gonna be a doctor, he goes to church, he’s a counselor at Bible camp, and he liked me.
MRS. KIM: A doctor.
LANE: I’m so stupid. I should’ve just told you and I didn’t and now he’s gone and I’m just stupid.
MRS. KIM: Maybe I can call his mother.
LANE: I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
MRS. KIM: You’re sure he was Korean?

hahahaa....gilmore girls are CLASSIC! that is sooooo the scenario with my parents...except that i don't like asian guys!

juju is here...she and grace came over cuz their computer is fried from the lightning on sunday and grace scanned in these cool pics of steve and luke and crackbaby! and now she's gone home...but juju's STILL here...WHAT? she's STAYING OVER?!?!?!? aw MAN!!! j/j!

it's been my time of the month...i've been craving hash browns and tiramisu...and completely eating all the stuff i've been avoiding the past coupla weeks...and this just SUCKS! and now i have a headache...maybe it's cuz i left the tampons way more then the time recommended cuz i was lazy...that's what you get for being LAZY....no more...

especially now cuz i'm screwed cuz my exam today was sucky...it wasn't a BAD exam...just stupid...bleh...BUT i went over to st. mike's after and world youth day is JUST BEGINNING there! it's cool!

"Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won’t be broken again
I’m not
I’m not what you think
Dream away your life
Someone else’s dream
Nothing
Equals nothing
Letting go
Is not my thing
Walk away
Won’t let it happen again
I’m not
I’m not very smart
Why should I be sad
For what I never had
Nothing
Equals nothing
Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I’ll be gone
Before it happens"

now i'm going to do my readings...and calling ppl cuz i'm craving intelligent conversation! ;p

"Why shouldn't art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world."

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

i had THE BEST night in the LONGEST time...it was amazing...

taught piano in the morning from 9:15am to 2pm and then monica came by with queeni so i could show her around..queeni starts teaching next week and monica won't be here so she needs to know me cuz i'll be here. then went to richmond court at times square for a quick and late lunch and then went with mom, dad and ames to go shopping at costco.

went over to lauren's at 5pm to help her set up for her party aka bbq...lisa came over half an hour later with her brother david to help lauren with the lights for her garden. steph came first...pretty in a pink one strap top with a beautiful tan! she's as thin as always, if not, thinner (though she denies it) and lisa, steph and i hung out on the patio. john made it with his girlfriend jamie, and alex. omg! how long has it been since i've seen alex?!?!? by the way...alex looked REALLY good...and he was like 'wow! where have you been christina?' he's soo cute...maybe one day i'll tell him in his face...but right now i won't cuz that will make him all antsy...AGAIN! (inside...ask john or marko)

luke came with his friends, anthony (i know anthony! he came to lauren's b-day party at gabby's!) and jay (reminds me of the scottish dude in austin powers...he was sooo funnie!) and the party started...marko came soon after he finished watching a japanese movie with his sister (who's sick...caught it from him) and it was good times!

i know i know...everyone's like "kris...get to the good part...we KNOW there was a GOOD part" because anyone who stays out for 40 mins with marko...there has to be a good part...but that's for me to keep and tell ppl i want to tell...basically...this experience stays with me and marko

hmm...i have a mosquito bite on my elbow...it itches...

ooh...and before i forget...the hair looks great!

yesterday i ran down the basement stairs in the dark and tripped over our hot pink laundry detergent basket...and now i have a kickass bruise on my right leg...not to mention i have more mosquito bites...ewww

"he's a brave kid," Lewis said.
"he's remarkable," Reggie said. "At times he thinks like a terrorist, then he cries like a little child."
"he is a child."
"i know. but don't tell him. it may upset him, and, hell, who knows what he might do."

The Client

i finally decided on my posts and sat down to figure out what courses i'm taking...i'm majoring in biological anthropology and minoring in linguistics and physiology. it's gonna be a year of zoology, botany, linguistics and anthropology...yay? i actually wanted to do physiology instead of zoo but that time was taken by ant so problems, much? i spent a whooping 3 hours figuring this out last night before i finally went to bed at 2am...smart miau...really smart...and then i had a practical to do today which wasn't too bad...just LONG...i was basically falling asleep by the end of the day...

first of all...i have a plea to john's fellow workers...please...puhleeeeesse let him get the shift off on saturday! otherwise...go to hell...cuz he NEEDS to come up to have some fun with us! i haven't seen him in AGES!!! but yeh...apparently lauren's having a bbq on saturday and i think we need to have some fun in the sun! and yes...i didn't go to the movies cuz marko's been sick with food poisoning..among other things...i laughed at him and called him a stick! maybe i'm mean...maybe i'm teasing!

flo and i sat in the sauna for 8 mins today...my hair dripped all over the place...and the white towels turned purple...because janice came over this morning to try the hair thing again....and....nope...not working...so she's gone to buy some peroxide and more stuff today for another try tomorrow...i swear...one of these times it's gonna work...and it better happen soon cuz i don't want to drip all over the place...it's narsti...

gilmore girls tonite! yay! and i'm watching the princess diaries right now...you know what i WANT to watch? the client...i've been reading the book and it's great...i wanna see these lawyer movies...why? because of ames...that's why...that silly little girl's got me reading all these john grisham novels...ah....instead of studying...which i will be cracking out the books tomorrow morning...bleh

went to gabby's with kirsten, des and david last night...yay half-priced honey garlic chicken wings! mmmmmmhh....which totally reminds me...i have to do my readings cuz we hafta hand in a thought of the week tomorrow...argh....i'm losing focus here...i want fun in the sun!

i don't remember what i did sunday...maybe i became comatose...who knows?

Memories #66
"ah...formal nite...i was ALMOST so late that i almost missed the last bus...but i made it...with my formal date...JOEL! yeh...it was sooo much fun...joel got so completely drunk (well...it was the most drunk he'd ever been anyway) and he thought that he was disgrace to me...and i kept telling him he wasn't! ;p but we had awesome fun time...everyone was there and it was open bar so every one was getting pretty smashed! a nite to remember!"

i went over to janice's house next door and we did my hair...but but i don't think anything worked...so off to shoppers tomorrow and i'll grab some new stuff for next tuesday! hopefully something good will happen then! ;p at least my parents can stop freaking out! they're out at a pool and bridge party in mississauga somewhere...and they were pretty ok with handing me and ames $40, a blockbuster card, a free pizza pizza coke coupon and letting us do what we had to do!

we rented 'the firm' and watched it eating honeydew...and that was sooo much fun! hahaa....i recognized ed harris...he's VERY bald in the movie...his head is pretty bumpy! and the girl, tammy...i recognized her in another movie with kiefer sutherland...it's nice to recognize ppl in movies! grace has been doing cool extra work so hopefully she'll meet someone famous soon!

ames had our pics developed while i taught this morning...and the pics came out really cool...there were pics with me and the abbey chicks when we went to pizza hut...there were the pics when i was with the asian gang (as fran calls us) when we went to that bar on yonge and finch for christian and ava's belated birthday...and a random pic of me and mom...just to finish the film...ahaha...which reminds me...i should load the camera for tomorrow...heheheeee...

oh yeh...here's some of the pics that were developed... MIAU!

i had the weirdest dream last nite...i dreamed that my grandma wanted hash browns and asked my sister to get them for her...and then my sister decided she wanted some too....like...FOUR...and then i got jealous, stole the whole package and ate it myself...weirdness much? but yes...in case you didn't get the gist of it....i do LOVE hash browns! if i could choose what i'd eat on an island...it would be hash browns...and yes...my grandma DID buy them....and i hate them both (her and mom) for telling me that we have em in the freezer...because i'm ELMING....thanx to juju...ELM (eat less movement) and i'm not quite sure it's working....

"I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes that I can't
admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tags the last thing that you
wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
But we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space...
I can't see that thief that lives inside of
your head
But I can be some courage at the side of
your bed
I don't know what's happening and I
won't pretend
But I can be your....

Someone help us understand who
ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time
and the end
I don't want to hear who walked on
water
Because the hallways are empty and the
clock ticks"

our lady peace

monica built a new room...yay...but it's messy in the studio now...ah well...
i'm going to sleep...jogging tomorrow morning....time to DIE! ;p ahahahahaaaaaa...that's for ames!

today was absolutely classic! ;p worked out in the morning before i went to class...so i was 5 mins late...but it was alright because karl said the prof has computer problems...and plus i got smart...i printed the notes off the net BEFORE so all i had to do was LISTEN to the prof and take additional notes...instead of what i HAD been doing which was taking the notes and missing the other stuff...nice going! ;p

after class karl came with me to meet up with tanaka and karina...tanaka came from work in a black top, cream colored mini skirt and hot pink shoes...note this!...and we went to maddy's where we had chicken wings and chicken fingers and french fries! karl went to class and we went to the PARK! ahahahaaa....that was PRICELESS!!! seeing tanaka trying to get over the park fence with her cream colored skirt! karina dared her to go over the fence...and she did...and she got stuck half way and then karina and i left her to walk around and go through the gate...and then tanaka took off her hot pink shoes and went in her stalking feet (pantyhose) and we played on the swings and tanaka sat in a duck that was WAY too small for her! got stuck and karina dumped her out afterwards!

so tanaka wanted to buy pants because she didn't like her skirt anymore and we walked along bloor to yonge st. where we stopped off at the gap and karina and i came out with these AWESOME new jean capris! hahaha...we look AMAZING in em! and tanaka didn't buy anything and was upset...so we went to le chateau on yonge and still she couldn't find anything...but i bought this cool black top that apparently will make jaws drop! nice! we finally found these nice cream pants for tanaka on one of those little stores along yonge and i went with tanaka to downsview to go home...get this...she SITS in something wet along the bloor-danforth line and it looks like she sat in something brown....can you imagine?!?!?!? it took HOW long to find pants and then she sits on something? completely classic! but it's fine by downsview! and that was my DAY! ;p

ok...that was sooo funnie! i finished my tutorial class with cahyee where we answered questions...it was fun! and then i walked with her to new college and then we were talking outside for about 5 mins...and then she tried calling her boyfriend matt, while i called my mom...and then she turned around...and there he was! he'd watched us for 5 mins...while we were making our silly gestures and movements! and he totally made fun of us! i like matt...if i ever get a boyfriend...i'd shape him after matt!

and then during class...i was sitting with jonathon and listening to the professor...and then a little fly came by and jonathon tried to stomp on it...and then lady infront kept turning around and glaring at us! ooops! ;p ester came to class with tim today! they are SOOOO CUTE!!!! awww! OH and before i forget even more....HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JAY!!!!!! it was monday...and thanx for ester for telling me! ;p

"Kiss me, out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon’s sparkling, so kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We’ll take the trail marked on your father’s map"

sixpence none the richer

working out at the gym is HARD work...but if you get killer abs and lose the chupas...i guess anything's worth it! ;p
