you know it's gotten pretty bad when i don't post in color or lyrics anymore...

my botany textbook is doing a hell of a lota good sitting in my locker at the AC...when i have a lab monday afternoon...shit
oh well...i guess i'll just be studying anthro this weekend. FINE. i'm gonna kick some skeletal butt anyway...poli sci paper? oh no...that won't be touched till wednesday...luckily i got an extension on that paper...otherwise i'd sit down and cry.

the house dinner for the sorbora rez guys was fun! i know i know...THEY don't make a big deal about it...after all, for them it's just a bunch of guys getting together for house photos and eating food that could possibly be better then what they usually eat in the canada room...but REALLY...i'm just a girl that wanted to dress up and look pretty! after all, the rez formal didn't happen this year, so my outfit was sitting in the closet just BEGGING to be worn...and what better then to this little shindig with marko? ;p

my camera is officially retarded...i've been having issues with it since queens. first it died on me in the middle of us getting drunk at charysse's house...cuz the battery died...fine...i go home and put in a fresh new battery...but oh no...it doesn't end there...it decides that the camera is EMPTY...empty?!?!?! it's NOT! i still have a full 10 pics left to take...and it won't take pictures! so i couldn't take any pics from the dinner...boo...and now there's a game tomorrow that i want to take pics at...but oh no...i can't...cuz my camera's being stupid...ARGH!

ames has gone to kate's cuz it's her b-day...come to think about it...it's rob's b-day today! HAPPY B-DAY ROBERT! so i only found out about this on thursday cuz i ran into adele and she told me...hahaha...i gotta call him! mom and dad have gone to a bridge party...this is perfect timing for me to go out for coffee with lisa..but oh wait...i don't drink coffee or tea anymore...damn stupid bet...i should have made it 3 wks or something...what do you drink in cold weather like this other then tea or coffee?!?!?! that's right....NOTHING...man...that sucks majorly.

so karina, faye and i have decided that we're gonna help tanaka write a book on how to drive a broken down car the size of a boat:
- if the key breaks in the ignition, use a screwdriver that you keep in the glove compartment to turn on/off the car
- if the sideview mirror is broken on the passenger side, get your friend to stick her head out the window and give instructions
- if the back, right axle wheel is broken, just make wide wide turns...and don't do back ups
- if the windshield has two humongous cracks like an "X", just let it be
episodes in tanaka's car! ;p

queen's was amazing...it was good times the whole weekend...except for some pretty shameful episodes...but that's all part of the fun of being away and chilling with friends...in their HOUSES! we're totally doing a kris kringle this year...and i don't care who it is...but i want the woodstock underwear collection from "three" AND the lucy liu glasses from "willy"

eeeeeeeee! i'm soo excited! tomorrow at this time, i'll be at QUEENS! chillaxing with faye, tanaka and possibly charysse! we'll be completely updating each other's lives and pigging out on god knows what! the who, what, where, when and hows will be discussed to the bare minimum and everything will be good! ahhhhh! good times!

so i have these mini bruises on my arms and hands cuz i had my ass whooped in the ticklefest with ray and georges...no fair! two guys and one little girl! and then an awesome dinner at exotic tandoori (i know...sounds like a strip club) with the guys...INDIAN FOOD! nice! i'm not a big fan of spicy food tho...whatever

did i mention that i'm really excited about tomorrow? hahahahahaaaa!

i feel like i'm wearing one of those multi-faced masks...
the happy mask is used to impress ppl, to keep up an image of a happy bubbly girl who has no worries and is perpetually care free...
the sad mask (otherwise known as the what's-on-your-mind mask) is usually most identifiable through my closest friends and only they have the privilege to knowing what's wrong...oh wait...i have no problems...
the angry mask is only shown at home...or if something is really REALLY bothering me...otherwise, yeh...home...ames can vouch for that...
the crying mask is NEVER shown...i have this problem where i don't really express what i'm feeling...especially by crying...i find it very disadvantageous...as it's a sign of weakness...the only ppl who've seen me cry (off the top of my head) are probably the ppl that had to help me out last year in march...but other then that...don't speak of this to me

so mom's pissed me off majorly today...oops...did i say just today? i meant this whole week...she's been on my case about EVERYTHING...and i really don't need this...not now...too bad she's mom...i can't get mad at her...it's just not happening...

other then that...i had a pretty good day. had breakfast at the mike cubes (mike jaques, mike allemano, and mike skarz) apartment with lisa and flo this morning...skarz made an awesome meal of omlettes, sausages and bagels...with JUICE! i've made a bet with lisa (with flo and skarz as witnesses) that i can DEFINITELY go an entire month of no coffee or tea...and i don't care what anyone thinks...but i'm not losing this bet because i'm NOT addicted to coffee...NO...don't even say it OR think it!

i think i gave georges the cold...he wasn't feeling too hot today...but he was a trooper and went off to calc class so that afterwards we had lunch (soup) at jakas and then napped for an hour afterwards...went shopping for vitamin c (to stop scurvy!) and other edible food for georges fridge which consists of water and vodka (nice diet, eh?) and then went back after a grueling poli sci lecture...for a movie nite of "something about mary" most of the guys. good times!

oh did i mention that my mom thinks i don't study? for her information...i do...i studied in mike^3's solarium for an hour and a half, reading aristotle's POLITICS and such...today is my "fun day!" so don't bother me! ;p

what's going on?!?!? is babipiggie going to cardinal carter? wow! that's COOL! girl, you gotta send me an email or something to update me on what's going on! oops! i guess that's what the blogger's for! ahahahahaaaa!

so, i have a huge announcement to make ppl....I'M SOOOOO SCREWED FOR MY MIDTERM TOMORROW!
that's all...yup...unless i actually get off my ass and actually open the book. i think i'll have a muffin...so i thought i lost one of my new square earrings i bought on thursday...but i DIDN'T! yay!

i sit and muse with myself alot, and i would periodically have bursts of laughter or sobbing...prolly cuz i'm thinking of my soap operatic life...the complicated day-to-day basis of trying to solve a difficult algorithm that seems to be in stalemate. there is much unspoken tension within my large group of friends, it's quite difficult to watch from the sidelines as we're all so close to each other...if something hurts one of us, it reciprocates and hurts ALL OF US. in a sense, this may be good, as it shows how tight and close a group we are...in another, it might be holding us back from better things...better to take it as it comes.

so my cough doesn't seem to be getting any better...it's continuous hacking and wheezing...and nose blowing and grossness...ugh...i suppose it doesn't help that i don't seem to be sleeping anymore, or that i'm out all the time...drinking coffee when i should be sleeping! ;p my kids weren't helpful at all...no one seems to bother practicing anymore, and then they wonder why i won't give them new pieces to practice on, or their parents would come and bother me about why i'm not sending them into an exam or something! hello?!?!?! i'm a piano TEACHER....not a piano PRACTICER! i'm there to teach new things, not to do their homework for them...and all this while i can't speak...it's great...it got to the point where steve noticed that i was laughing at his jokes...so he KNEW i was feeling crudy...ahahaaa...got my second wind last nite after coffee with lis...and then i finally puttered out at 2am with my bro...he always calms me down and makes me feel better...and to a certain degree...puts me to sleep! j/j!

i've got some pics of me, ray and mu from halloween...courtesy of georges...thanx man...they're on my website...YOU go find it...i'm too lazy to make a link to that page...mwahahahahahaaaaa...

so the OUR LADY PEACE concert was WICKED last nite! it totally rocks for a first time concert goer, like me...raine has the most AMAZING voice! it's sooooo pretty! even when he speaks, it's so musical and seductive...wow...i'm in love with his voice! fun times! see ames' blog for a more detailed description of the nite's events...i just had alot of fun with faye! i haven't seen her in THE LONGEST TIME! not since her birthday in september! i almost didn't recognize faye...your hair's grown! wow!

so i pigged out on fries and a veggie pizza slice...and...COFFEE!!!

did i not say us gogo girls would rule the nite? that's right, thank you very much...i do believe we had THE BEST costumes there...

too many playboy bunnies...wayyyy overrated...and alot of guys who didn't have the money to buy costumes so wrapped themselves up in toilet paper! a lot of monks, deans in army fatigues...looked sooo cute! like a boy scout! , mike as the pimp daddy! and lotsa girls as cheerleaders and school girls! and it was really great seeing mike kwadrans and megan st. john, ppl that graduated last year! i heard al was there with his girlfriend! i'd liked to have seen him again!

the poor bus driver! i feel bad for the guy...so he was driving the first bus with many of us eagerly waiting to get to the party...and made a right turn that wasn't wide enuf...and side scrapped a cab, who's ass was sticking out of the intersection...and then he started freaking out and apologizing and everything...but everyone was totally cool about it...we just waited for another bus to pick us up and off we go again!

all in all...a very successful and entertaining nite! i'd especially like to thank kirsten for making our dresses and the other girls for making US work! those boys had no chance! ahahahaaaa!

wow! and i haven't blogged in a pretty long time...

so my nose is stuffed up, yet it's like a faucet that isn't turned off properly and keeps on dripping...and it's driving me INSANE! i just want to chop off my nose, turn it upside down, stick it UNDER the sink tap, and CLEAN IT! REALLY!!! ugh....it's ALMOST as bad as when i get one of those headaches where i want to cut my head off, stick it in a plastic bag...and throw it in the dumpster....

dress episode: (soap #928365)
so kirsten's sewing my halloween costume, and it's quite form fitting...i now know that my bustline is CLEARLY larger then my waistline..*whew!* and unfortunately, the way my costume is made, i must put the whole thing over my head...and it includes going PAST the waist...and that's where we get ME....stuck with my arms waving around in the air...oh wait...did i say waving? that's wrong...i was just....stuck...i couldn't even move my arms if i wanted to...and then i had to get it off...but did i mention? it was STUCK...so kirsten had to pull it off my head...fortunately she lives in a girl's rez and is quite used to seeing ppl half-naked...

yes...i DID see georges pink heart boxers...quite by accident...but COME ON! didn't you look soooo cute?!?!?!? ;p *giggles*

and yes...we did have fun at dim sum...it was quite scary, considering he was completely relying on ME to converse in cantonese/mandarin with the serving cart ppl...but luckily, he eats frogs legs! ahahahaha!

note to self:
so the next time you're home alone with grandma, and she starts SHAKING like a leaf...go open a can of coke (not DIET coke) and give her some to drink...she's most likely not got enuf sugar in her system...and while i'm doing that...DON'T FREAK!

not that i did or anything...but it's quite traumatizing to see grandma shaking like her time has come or something...luckily mom and dad were home too...tho we didn't know what to do till aunty anne came over and made everything all better!

still...to a certain degree, this is quite a wake-up call...the fact that i LIVE with my grandmother yet i don't seem to see her, EVER. not that i've been doing that on purpose, i haven't...but i'm outta the house by 7am (or earlier) and by the time i come home at nite (10ish pm) she's in her room watching her chinese soaps or in bed...but the point is, she's not exactly a spring chicken anymore, and she won't be around forever, so i must make the most of the time i have left with her.

ames owes me big time...
i buy her a cd, i lend her my scarf and gloves (ok...so eugenia was using them...but she's YOUR friend), i stand in line with her for an hour, i'm GOING to the concert with her....you NEED ME!...oh...and i THOUGHT i had a cold...but now i KNOW that i've got one...

so what do i want? oh yes...everything...mwahahahahahaaaaa...ok...i realize now that that was NOT funnie

wow! good times tonite!
we went to see "hollywood bollywood" at the bloor cinemas and we saw the actress who played "twinky" and marko went and got her autograph...then mu took us to this indian place next door where georges bought me some pita bread which was really good...but the BACLAVA which was even BETTER!!! wow! it's better then making out with someone!

so i've been EXTREMELY busy these past few weeks...and everyone's stressing...georges called right after my piano lesson today and we went to the UC quad and sat outside for an hour before my poli sci lecture...it's soooo beautiful and peaceful there! like something out of a movie...like the secret garden...wow...and we just talked and relaxed...and the sun was shining and we were watching a squirrel jump into a garbage can and the hybid pigeons walking around with their multi-colored wings!

i'm feeling good!

i miss my life-sci friends...i ran into mimi today...her hair looks awesome! i felt so bad that i was rushing off to class, but i was...i never see ava anymore...we were sooooo tight last year...we had mostly the same classes, and i'd pick her up at her st. george apartment in the morning and we'd walk to class together...she helped me start working out and think more about my health...i see robert and winsion and adele at the library sometimes, but it's rare...we're soooo busy...christian, edward and jay are in my botany class but i feel as if i don't have any classes with them...GABS! where are you? i'm so scared that i might pass you on the street but not know it...even worse...NOT passing you on the street...i remember you used my ID card all the time...we looked alike! john, tom, dominic, mark pahuta and nasser...we used to study in those private rooms at kelly on the 2nd floor...that was sooo funny that i found you guys there two weeks ago! some habits die hard! remember robarts 5th floor? "studying"? i don't think so..."rob...i know NOTHING for this exam! teach me EVERYTHING in TWO HOURS! GO!!!" ahahahaa...and then i wondered why everyone did well, cept for me...except that jay knows to come ask me questions these days...

karina almost made me cry today...she brought up the three of us chilling with tanaka in the student council...we had like 5 spares a day, and we spent soooo much time in there that valarie kept getting mad at us and saying "guys...we have a mtg...and you're not part of council...so you gotta go" bitch...and then we'd go chill in our dingy cafeteria with awesome chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon buns and french fries...when i used to eat so much more and NOT workout...thanx for the recap, fool! (you know who you are)

and satchmo! tanaka trying to call maureen but she wouldn't answer her name till she called satchmo and that's her nickname whether she likes it or not...best friends from day 1 of gr. 9...till the end...i can't wait till we go up to queens...maija who i haven't seen since commencement last august, tanaka i haven't seen since we last went shopping at yorkdale....summer?!?!?! faye since her birthday at movenpick (even when we went to pick up her camera at her house in the middle of the night....AND i remembered where she lived even tho i'd only been to her place ONCE!) and karina?!?!? frosh week?!?!?!

karen lam...we're supposed to meet up and study saturday afternoons...but i'm quickly coming to this revelation that it's NOT happening...you're WAY too busy with forensics, and i'm WAY too busy period. i think i need to cry...but i have no tears...i want to talk to someone...but who's the right person? i'm finding it much too difficult to keep up with life right now...it's going much too fast...i'm falling behind...someone catch me please...

THE "QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS"

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn`t know and may not like.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren`t exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.

You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you cry and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

The stupid ones plateau, the smart ones rise. You get your heartbroken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can`t meet anyone decent enough to get to know better.

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it and we are all in this together. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

We are friends, and in 10 years we will be friends who have figured out where we fit in in this world. If people expect sincerity from others, they should be sincere, otherwise do not expect anything at all. Having heart to heart conversations is being real. Wish you and myself all the best of luck. Put unhappiness aside and go with the flow..*

"Your love is like a river
peaceful and deep
your soul is like a secret
That I could never keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must of spent
A little more time
On you"

so how was my day?

it started off with flo being late mtg up with me...flo man...i had a MIDTERM to be studying for!
and then we got coffee at timmy ho's (cuz coffee is an ESSENTIAL morning element to make my day work!) AND then as i was washing out my coffee cup in the women's washroom in brennan hall, i saw the LARGEST CENTIPEDE in my life....it was the size of half my hand...with the longest legs ever....i got outta there in no time!

then i'm at the library in my own little botany world of kindom chromista's and rhodyphyta's...when FELIX had the audacity to give me a freaking heart attack! he forgot that i was wearing earplugs and thought i heard him coming....obviously NOT! and EVEN THEN...he continues to make rackets...hello?!?!? is it me or is a library a place for quiet? maybe it IS me...either way...fe and his friend were playing italian cards and i was just ITCHING to grab his neck to find his larynx and PULL IT OUT! ugh....

so i was supposed to meet jay at 1pm at the hanger...and in my messed up head, i thought it was 1pm so i left to meet jay....to realize that it was only 12pm...can you imagine? the tizzy fe puts me in! *sigh*

and then that whole thing where i was the first person done the midterm in just under 40mins...so either
a) i was NOT prepared
or
b) maybe i was
but then...there's also
c) it's freaking multiple choice

meh...whatever...we'll see

and then i'm working out at the AC and i run (literally) into reza...who's also just started running...and we run for like a full 50mins...man...my thigh muscles are killing me....

and now i'm hungry...

"It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love "

Shania Twain

i love popo's and gong gong's they always give red pocket money whenever they come...it doesn't matter that it's not your birthday, or christmas, or chinese new year...they give it cuz they haven't seen you in such a long time...and even if they HAVE seen you...same deal! mwahahahaaa! so now i have extra money for MORE clothes! teehee! hmmm...maybe i should save some of this money for something better...like...maybe a new PHONE! (you know...cuz i like to kill my old one) or....maybe a little car...yeh...a car would be good...but i really don't think the $50 i got will make the cut...ahahahaaaa!

this botany will kill me....i'm stupid...i make such a huge deal over this ONE test...hmmm...maybe it's the first one?!?!? just maybe...cuz afterall, this will show me if i'm not studying enuf or if i'm doing ok...well...not reallly....but still...my summer classes really helped me with my studying skills and i'm soooo scared that they'll go down the drain now that i have so many more "distractions"...

BUT....i'm meeting up with jay to go over the botany exam...cuz our prof is all smart and gives up the answers...blah

ok...you know i HAVEN'T been studying when i tell you i've watched "ghost" tonite, "footloose" and "gilmore girls"....well the gilmore girls doesn't count cuz i was working out during that time...but STILL...now i gotta go!

i'm tired but i must continue on like a trooper and study for that damned botany midterm on monday...check out the communal blog for georges screaming face...that was the highlight of my day...ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa

;p

so i was coming home from "the foxes den" with georges, marko, v something (i can't spell his name) and r something (can't spell his either) and i was going to the yonge and bloor station...when i passed the yonge and bloor intersection...there were ambulances and fire trucks and police all over the place...and me being the curious kitty that i am, asked a passerby what was going on...so apparently an advertising truck clipped the edge of a crane that was on the north west corner of yonge and bloor...and the crane tipped over onto a building that was in the middle of construction...and there were hurt ppl ON the building...and even tho i didn't exactly WITNESS it...it looked pretty bad...and plus...i could hear the ppl on the building and it didn't sound very good...in a sense...it was kinda traumatizing...i spent my time on the subway reading plato's "republic" to take my mind off that event...

AND btw...on the subway...freakiest couple...i think they were both women...or a really ugly man...making out with another lady...man...i concentrated sooo hard on the book i was reading...it was freaky...wow...now i know why i wake up so freaking early in the morning to hitch car rides with lisa....cuz i really don't miss the sardines in the cans and the freakshows...

georges gene formula just wasn't programmed to study in the library...i hauled his ass there tonite...i was like...i promise if we study for an hour, we'll go out afterwards...and i went and studied...i had my earplugs in...i had my cue cards out...i had my lecture notes in front of me...and my huge ass textbook...and i was in my own little world...and totally assuming that georges' reading his philosophy textbook...and then i take a side glance and realize he's sprawled on the table sleeping...ahahahaaa....i didn't have the heart to hit him on the head and make him study...good luck in philosophy! ;p

i wonder if marko will ever grace "the foxes den" ever again...so he's having a deep business conversation with one of the guys...but he wanted to order something from the menu...and so i flagged down a waitress but i didn't want to interrupt the conversation and i tell the waitress so...she's like "what's his name?" and i'm like "marko"...and she goes "MARKO" (with the accent and the rolling of the tongue on the 'r') and marko's head whips round to see who called him cuz apparently she sounded just like his mom when she was mad...and we all started laughing...there's actually more to it...but i can't really remember so i won't even try and make anymore of it sound funnie...so that's the end of that...

our communal blog is pretty fun...i realize now what a nerd i am...always blogging...have i no life? yep...well...maybe i just don't want to study...that could be it...but i DO...yehhhhh....

so can you say crazy week?!?!? or rather...crazy day...i was up at 6am yesterday morning because missy kirsten randomly decided that we'd have a council mtg at 8am....hello?!?!? EIGHT O'CLOCK in the MORNING!?!?!?!? yesh...so lil me mosied my way downtown, had my mtg...had a HUGE cup of tea...office hrs at 10am...class and studying and class and class and class....ugh...ooooh...and dinner with georges and car ride home lisa...

and my botany lecture was HILARIOUS! the prof was lecturing about fungal diseases and mentioned ringworms...and he said that he once contacted that disease on his leg from a locker room and then he tried to grow the fungus from his leg in a petri dish...and then tried to cultivate it on his other leg...and only stopped when his wife wouldn't sleep in bed with him anymore! thanks prof! i really needed to know that! and THEN he went on about ringworms on the groin and i was sooo scared that he'd say he got some sorta ringworm disease on his groin and tried to cultivate THAT!

This is from georges.... hi. And now back to miau...

hahaha...so we've started a new blog...it's a team thingy with me, georges and flo so far... you can check it out here we're just silly ppl with WAY too much time on our hands!

anyhoo...so our neighbours have been robbed and i didn't witness it...so that's not good...meh...i'm tired...and i gotta get up early tomorrow to hitch a car ride with lisa...so....SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP...giggles...tho...on a side note...i did get sleep in georges bed while he was in class today...yay! i'm still tired tho...hahahahahahaaa

i love you flo! ok...that's because if it wasn't for her and her family eating at vinnie zucchini's i'd have NOT gone out today...and i really really needed to get out of the house! i love the cold crisp air and the crunchy leaves...when you have a really warm scarf, gloves and hat...otherwise it's not fun...but I DID! so ames and i picked up flo, her bro tony, and her cuz bess from vinnie's and trekked to timmy ho's where it was completely insane! anyone who knows flo...knows how she is....CRAZY!!!! ...now....times that by 3...and you get...whoa! now i know why flo is soooooo nutty! it runs in the family!

i've slept the entire afternoon away! dad has his childhood best friend's from HK over playing MJ, so i've been sleeping, watching tv, and surfing the net....whoa...how long has it been since i've done THAT?!?!?! gala pics are up! thanx to my aunt eva who brought her pics over and i've scanned them in and they are now on my website here

so ames went and chopped off all her hair too! i went with her to the hairdresser's yesterday and watched them painstakingly cut off all her hair...it's now in a short ASYMMETRICAL bob...she gets all her short hairdo's from charisma carpenter (angel) and because my sister has such a nice thin face, they totally work on her...i hate her...she looks GREAT with that look! *sigh* just watching them cut and style her hair made me want to do that too...except for the fact that i DON'T have the face structure...hahahaaa...however, she's now afraid that ppl will go up to her and tell her that they didn't cut her hair straight! ;p no worries ames! you're just a fashion trend setter!

grace and juju came over for dinner...we had a nice turkey that ames wouldn't eat cuz she heard on the mojo radio that all turkey's have maggots in them...silly girl...gave up an awesome dinner! uncle stephen took us to timmy ho's (oh..wait...he didn't us on a whim...grace had to beg him and sell him her soul) and only grace and i actually bought anything...you see...juju's on some odd diet or something cuz she has to be at a wedding nov 1 and wants to look thin (not that she isn't thin already) and so she's not really eating much...but get this...my silly cuz has a packet of mickey d's sugar in her purse...which she takes out and proceeds to EAT...*sigh*...some ppl are alcoholics and/or snort cocaine...my cousin eats sugar...geez

what an unproductive long weekend...i must admit that i've done absolutely...NOTHING...that's right...i haven't studied or done any hw...(tho...i did DO all my hw the day i spent at kelly...so that's good) ...i've slept more then my share and now i don't think i'll be needing to sleep tonite...and i've watched alot of tv...wow! did i mention that i can't study at home? hmmm...i wonder why...maybe...too many distractions?!?!?!

good times! ruth and alice organized a surprise anniversary dinner for their parents...and invited the WHOLE FAMILY...and i mean the WHOLE FAMILY...all of my dad's 4 sisters and 3 brothers (tho...1 lives in HK so that doesn't count) but it was really nice of them. i mean...with all the fucked up inner turmoil...we had a nice dinner with no deaths in the family....alexandra looks GREAT! she's growing up so fast...it's amazing how different everyone looks when you don't see them very often...but we've promised each other that i will take her out to breakfast at timmy ho's one day...reina and erica are just shooting up like weeds, they're soooo cute! and LUKE! wow...luke is WAY cuter in person! he's got the biggest eyes in the world! they just see everything...and drools like the devil! ;p tho...i must admit that i'm worried about that bald spot that's at the back of his head...he should get that fixed before he actually grows up...i'm totally predicting him to be a total hottie when he's older...girls! WATCH OUT! ;p

auntie gen, hwang and ron are just amazing...i really miss their cottage...we used to go up in the summer and the winter and it would be just us cousins and them and we'd chill and relax for a couple days with no parents bugging us...i really really miss those days...cross country skiing, chasing woodpeckers, picking berries on the side of the road, catching toads, going canoing in the morning with the mist and loons....SWIMMING!
