i ran into henry yesterday after class and after berating him about not blogging, i promised him that we would both make a more conscientious effort to blog more. HA.
it's not that i haven't tried blogging, the computer said no and shut down several times, or i forgot what i was writing and gave up. i dunno. it's been busy busy what with all the rehearsals and substitutions and trying to gather up my thoughts and whatnot.
it has also been snowing alot and i think that is a good thing. snow is good for the economy, this is what canada is known for. it does cause of lot of traffic delays and falling downs, but oh well.
so what is up? well other then the fact that THE musical (CHESS) has taken over my whole entire being, i have no life. well ok, i do have one sort of. There is a hockey game at the varsity this thursday (smc vs. vic...we are so going to kick vic's asses) so that will be a well deserved break from doing nothing, as well, if anyone is interested in going it would do well to bring some non-perishable foods as that is the point of the game, to bring in donations.
There will be a pseudo abbey reunion saturday night (oh horrors, i don't want to jinx it) but thanks to len, it looks like it will actually happen. ESPECIALLY since i got a special call from my buddy corona today. wow did i feel special! ;p hahaha. And dinner at grace and juju's? we'll see about that. i may not have room after dinner with the girlies. ok, maybe for that tiramisu dessert that the cousin makes. ha!
whatelse what else? oh right so i am selling homemade cookies at 1 for $0.25 and 3 for $0.50 and all profits will be given to the graditude fundraising committee, and i've made just over $10, wow i should feel proud.
meh, nothing big now except for the TSO for 3 piano players on 3 grand pianos and some street music (with a guy drumming on the subway with two pieces of rubber) coolio. there's a guy in my death and dying class that dimps and i have nicknamed the "smelly guy" because the past two weeks he looked like he didn't know proper hygiene. but we are reconsidering the nickname because he looked SOOOOOO hot in class today. damn he looked good with the specs. oh and plus there is always starbucks boy, who always makes me so happy when i see him. hahaha.
oh i missed velma and kelly. love you too.

oh this is just craptacular...i am so totally putting the blame squarely on matt. why? if he hadn't taped the first episode of the second season of The O.C., and then had me, shelley and carmi watch it an hour before the second episode (while explaining the crazy drama, who dated who, who is who's mom...), i never would have been hooked to this multifaceted eye candy show! honestly, is it just me or was lindsay wearing a purple bra with a sweater on top to cover herself?!?!?! and the coincidental hooking up of everyone with their respective girlfriends and boyfriends (with the exception of the girl who got dumped by the gardener)...and next week everyone is dumping everyone.
geez, you'd think i had better things to be watching...like GILMORE GIRLS. unfortunately that show hasn't had a new episode in ages. i hear maybe the week after next week? COME ON. i want to know what's going on in stars hollow, i want to know if luke and lorelai are ok (i personally think lorelai is better suited with christopher...but that's me), i want to know if rory will date the hot hot hot rich cutie, and i want to know where lane and zack's relationship is going.
so i realize this rant is very superficial as it centres around the comings and goings of television people, but i'm way too tired to try to write something of importance, so i guess i'll save it to tomorrow? or is that today? hmmm...we'll see how i feel after i wake up after a bag of sour cream and cheddar chips....among the various other junk food i've had today. but please, let's not dredge that up tonight.

what am i doing? i'm so tired right now, i'm falling off my chair but of course i decide that this will be the time that i blog about my very VERY short winter break.
first off: i had an amazing time!
right, so i currently have a huge bruise on my left bum cheek from skiing. no i don't suck at skiing, it just happened that the two days i skiied in mont tremblant, they were shitty days. the 31st of december it rained all day and the visibility was as good as nothing. i went skiing that day with my sister, and after falling the gazillionth time and even performing the splits, she decided to call it quits and i ended up going solo the next day (which i totally didn't mind, in fact i think it was better that way, i could go faster...yay!) the only problem was that the next day the weather got cold and the rain from the day before became ice and that made for a great abt workout on the slopes. ;p
so new years was in mont tremblant and christmas was in NYC. this is all i have to say about asian bus tours: NEVER AGAIN. never had i ever felt so asian in my whole entire life. hahaha. i mean sure i got to go to NY for cheap, but after this...NEVER AGAIN.
actually i have so many stories to go with that trip but i'm just way too lazy to type it all out. but it was a great trip, just too claustrophobically asian for me. yech. (picture an asian tour guide in a bright yellow puffy jacket holding a yellow flag and yelling for us to follow him...shudder...ames totally knows what i'm talking about!!) but the best part of that trip was that i was there for the boxing day sale at saks fifth avenue and was able to score myself a pair of gorgeous garnet chandelier earrings for a low (but still insanely high) price of $37 from $115. go me.
interestingly enough, i spent the most amount of money in kingston. as soon as i got in and met up with tanaka, she said "hey miao, we're going shopping now." the biggest "oh oh" in the world, and about $80 later....i ended up with a pink coat, a pink top and a very cute black sweater with a poodle. hahahaha. jokes, so jokes.
anyway, school is back and therefore so is running into all these random people that i haven't seen in 3 billion years. so far i know a fair amount of people in my classes, i am just waiting to see if anyone is in language acquisition with me, and that will make my day.
i lied. you know what made my day today? seeing the hot starbucks boy at college and yonge.
wow. nuff said.

it's been really great so far, catching up with luke and csb jeff (california sunshine boy), who i haven't seen in ever so long. also talking to fayewood and karina on the telephone, it makes me sad that i won't be seeing so many people before i leave.
i'm planning on going off to kingston tomorrow to visit tanaka and then saturday off to NYC...and next week we're off to mont tremblant for skiing time, yay! i only hope that this constant migraine will go away, somehow i'm not too optimistic about that.
other then that, "hero" is a great visual movie, very much enjoyed that. and vaughn mills mall is overrated, the only thing i really liked there was the outdoor store, THAT was much more interesting then the rest of the mall...come on, they have an aquarium with rainbow trout and hunting gear, and the like...
oh, and i played the piano at the christmas party at the toronto rehabilitation hospital on tuesday. wow, it was an exhilarating experience, having everyone singing along and just so happy. and i was happy that people were requesting songs that i knew i could play. oh, and the piano was SO WONKY. all the notes were off by a semitone so when i played middle c, it sounded like a b, and b sounded like a and so on....so wrong, but it worked out! ;p
and look, it's snowing outside now...

T-minus 16 hours --- last exam
god, my head is going to explode of soy chai lattes, spastic cerebral palsy, hearing disorders, cleft palate, aphasias and my all time favorite, neurogenic disorders of speech. it's been bad, what with my bouts of dizziness the last couple days, i'm convinced that the perilymph in my cochlea (ie, fluid in my inner ear) is messed up.
true to form, i've been studying like a fiend and i am SOOOO looking forward to tomorrow afternoon. i've already planned what i'm going to be doing after my exam: cleaning my room. yes yes, my room looks like a hurricane AND a tornado has struck...i can't see my bed anymore, i just crawl under something resembling a comforter at night and hope that the clothes and paper on top don't fall off the bed!
it would be nice to see some people before i leave christmas day, but i went to nisha's christmas condowarming party yesterday with shelley and it was a lot more fun then i anticipated. i do believe i have entered the age when my friends are getting married or scoring big shot career jobs or living in fanatastic places.
me? i'm going to be a traveller. ;p

oh how exciting, in exactly 10 days i will be out of this wretched city!!! i had been preparing to write another essay for today's exam (because the exam is 60% of our final grade, and come on, 60%?!?!?) but about 2am this morning i had a relevation, that i didn't HAVE to write the essay, it was only optional to take the stress off of the fact that the exam was 60%. it also helped that i hadn't even begun the essay and i was freaking myself out. so in the end, it all worked out. ;p
so i am now a starbucks dweller, i have spent the last two days studying there (there being the one closest to my house) and i'm pretty sure all the starbucks people know me. i even know which one is the manager, which is pretty crazy. i met this girl, raquel, one day sitting on the couch (which looks suspiciouly like velma) across from me last week. and the crazy story to that is that she knows my friend robin! i pulled the line "do you know..." and she started laughing and then was like "wow yah i know her!" fun fun times.
ok, i'm planning on catching up on some lost sleep now. but my goal is to start hardcore studying for JLS tonight and then review review review, and then kick some booty. (that is the plan, let's see how it goes!)

i am in SUCH A GREAT MOOD RIGHT NOW!!! finished bioethics and for the first time ever, i have a FIVE DAY break before my next exam! (i mean for this semester anyway) so i went out with the bioethic ppl after our exam and we went to o'grady's where there were kids from JLS promoting 'communications awareness week' and we had such a great time! (i am so in love with jon, he's like a cuter version of eminem! hahaha!)
it's been a long couple of weeks, and it feels great being so relaxed (oops, my bad, i had a margarita! hahaha) but now i'm going to go to sleep because it suddenly occured to me that i am EXHAUSTED. i'll have an update when i am more coherent! ;p

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart
covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled
inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful
heart
forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.
When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking
of my own funeral...I'm a gynecologist."
The proctologist fainted.
hahaha, that is SO funny!

no i am not an insomniac...this weekend could not have been any longer then it possibly could be. i just got home from celine's where alicia and jamie are staying over tonight and are still working on our jls project. we better get an A++ on our project, we're killing ourselves to get it done. ellan's mac is nearly dead, as are we...it is currently having a fan blown at it...hahaha.
however, the outcome of all our work looks like it will be breathtaking, so yay for a job well done. but i will go to sleep now before i pass out, plus i have class tomorrow morning so that will be hell in itself. oh the black liner tomorrow...

my apologies. i never intended to go on hiatus. however, this month happens to be the "projects" month, and projects are always MUCH MORE time consuming then writing essays and tests (which are also neverending). plus i'm volunteering at the toronto rehab center, and "out of the cold", as well as the usual teaching piano, so i'm much too exhausted to go online and chat, let alone blog.
my boyfriend is taking up too much time. his name is goldvarb, and he speaks a completely different language then i do, thus it is very difficult to understand him and i have to work on him most 24 hrs/day because he is very needy. if i even try to leave him alone for a day, i run into major problems with him and i cannot afford to make him angry. when i am through with him (because if anyone knows me, they'll know why), i will show you how i did with him.
anyway, a quick highlight of what you've missed:
- grad photos on tuesday, i am officially graduating...very scary!
- interviewed a speech language pathologist and an occupational therapist at west park
- hole-punched my pinky on a three-ring puncher yesterday. hurt like a bitch!
- i have been spending a lot of time at the starbucks at yonge and college, and so shelley and i have named "our" couches 'velma' and 'kelly'. shelley gets a very nice view of the cute 'starbucks boy' from 'kelly', and i get a nice view of the 'tutor boy' from velma...so everyone is happy!
i need to go shopping!!

what a LOOOOOOONG WEEK. it seems never ending...and it's only THURSDAY. it's been quite a blast from the past, starting with monday running in to patrice in the middle of the night on bloor street after class, and then running into karen and andy volpe at bloor station. and then having the most insane msn conversation with patrice and alex g (talk about desensitization guys!)
and then tuesday it was casa loma ghost tours at night with shelley and matt, and then the 4 for all pizza at pizza hut...mmmmh, yummy...pizza and jessie the pirate in the pink shirt! hahahaha!
wednesday was see everyone day at the jcr. shelley, simone and i decided to go eat there for lunch, and so after jacob and i finished some research at the library, we headed over there, and lo and behold! ellan, margarita, and....flo?!?!?! and of course the krispy kreme donuts came in from the graditude campaign, and so i made an appearance at the infamous SMCSU office...props to me for carrying a bunch of fattening donuts!
and of course there is the never ending set of assignments and essays and tests and quizzes going on. because of my crazy fun weekend, i didn't get to really work on my ethics paper until monday so i was quite happy to have finished it for class that day, and then i stayed up to extract and code data for assignment that was due today. it's a fun course, but it's extremely tedious and time consuming. i literally felt my spine beginning to curve! and then there was the "broken speech" play that was going on tonight, and such an adventure to go to the beaches to get the cameras.
and just to relax a bit, went out with shelley to starbucks this evening and the starbucks boy really liked us so he started giving us free sugar food, which i didn't mind but man was the cakes sweet! ;p (i'm sweet!) hahaha. and through the powers that be, i got a ride home from ellan so yay, saved a token! hahahaha!
"the incredibles" come out tomorrow! whoo hoo!

reason #9847559 why commuting sucks...
i had one class today. sociolinguistics from 2-4pm. there was a problem with the subway line, and there was no subway service between finch and eglinton so i had SHUTTLE all the way to eglinton. and then of course at wellesley, they have the FREQUENT SERVICE 94 bus, but OF COURSE there had to be some crazy lazy blaming the driver for driving the goddamn bus and making her bang her leg so she was writing up some sort of accident report. so the bus driver had to kick us off the bus and i had to WALK to class.
it took me TWO HOURS to get to school.
in other news: i am currently procrastinating from studying for my speech disorders test...yet again...
it's scary, but i've been studying for this test since tuesday and i feel like nothing is sinking in. i've gone to all the lectures and review everything while i'm eating, sitting on the bus, drinking (of course non-alcoholic...hahaha), eating, eating...did i mention eating? ...i hate this.
anyway, no more studying...one more review...go to sleep, wake up and go to school EARLY tomorrow. there's NO WAY i'm going to be late for this class!!!

(hahaha)
ok, i'm tired, this entry is done.

50 things girls wish guys knew
1. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.
2. If you don't act like soap-opera guys, don't expect us to dress
like Victoria Secret models.
3. There is no such thing as too much spooning/cuddling/kissing.
4. This is how we see it . . . Don't call = Don't Care.
5. Which also means that if we don't call, take the hint.
6. We like you to be a little jealous . . . but overly possessive is
not necessary.
7. Foreplay is not an option, it's a prerequisite!
8. We're allowed to be late . . . YOU ARE NOT.
9. Eye contact is key.
10. Don't take longer to get ready than we do.
11. Three words: honesty, honesty, honesty.
12. Do not start with us. You will not win, because we ALWAYS win!
13. Would you like it if a guy treated your sister in a bad way? We
didn't think so.
14. If you ask nicely, we usually answer the same way.
15. We will never have enough clothes or handbags or shoes!
16. We have an excuse to act bitchy at least once a month.
17. We love surprises!
18. Pay attention to the little things we do, because they mean the most.
19. Clean your room.
20. Always brush your teeth before you see us . . . a fresh mouth and
white teeth are a necessity.
21. Even though you are sometimes insensitive and hurt us, we still
love you anyway.
22. Sometimes "NO!" really means "NO!"
23. It takes a special kind of stupid to forget birthdays and anniversaries.
24. We may think you are gay if you wear tighty-whities on a regular basis.
25. Guys who are good cuddlers = guys who know how to satisfy a woman.
26. "Fat Chicks" have feelings too!!
27. Silent treatment, shoulder shrugs, tears, yelling and nasty looks
all add up to . . . YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG!
28. Don't say you love me if you don't mean it.
29. Don't lie to us . . . we will catch you.
30. You have to tell a girl how you feel about her...we make no assumptions.
31. We hate porn.
32. We need food, water, and compliments to survive.
33. We think about you all the time.
34. Being able to make us laugh is so much more important than how
much you can bench-press.
35. Hold our hand.
36. If you think for any reason that we don't like you then we probably don't.
37. Having us over while you are doing something else and/or with your
friends does not count as "quality time".
38. Never comment on how much a girl eats...ever.
39. You just can't force us to like cars or sports (or whatever other
stuff you may be into).
40. We're typically smarter than you...so get over it and stop whining.
41. Walks in the rain, kisses on the forehead, and cooking dinner for
us will get you everywhere.
42. Just because we're in a serious relationship doesn't mean we plan
to marry you someday.
43. Anything you do or say to another girl that you wouldn't want us
to know about is considered cheating.
44. If we can admit that we're wrong, you'd better be able to do the same.
45. Think before you speak...it'll make a world of difference.
46. Make fun of our clothes...prepare to die.
47. Tell us we're beautiful.
48. Don't screw us over...especially if we have an older brother or
protective guy friends...they will hunt you down and kill you.
49. The "little things" in a relationship are really the biggest.
50. When the girls get together, we talk about EVERYTHING. Meaning my
best friends know everything about you.
isn't it funny how so many of those are true?

not necessary.
7. Foreplay is not an option, it's a prerequisite!

today was the most gorgeous day to go apple picking! went up with matt to pick "cortland" apples...very sweet, and very yum! we picked 2 bags full (i was going for half-full but apparently we had to go for overflowing full...) and then we got to pick a free pumpkin! so we went trippingly around the field looking for a ideal pumpkin for his sisters. found a gorgeous orange one that i named "pummie the pumpkin". hahaha. we also went in the cornfield "maze" which we ALMOST got lost in. ;p the cherry pie that i bought for tonight's dinner at grace and juju's house was good. i got some complaints that it was bitter (?!?!?) but i really enjoyed it.
whatever, i got to take the leftovers home.

I got the sweetest email from my professor in my mailbox today:
Dear All,
First of all, let me wish you a happy thanksgiving day.
Also let me remind you that the first assignment is due on Wednesday October 13th. You can just submit it to me before the end of our class that day.
It's only an excercise on interpreting one or two text. 3 or 4 pages will be enough. You can always download the guidelines from PHL237 website. If you don't have the Source Books at hand, you can always pick up any text from what I have supplied there.
By the way, those who are still in need of the Source Book can find it in East-West Book Store.
Wish my best wishes,
Vincent Shen

handed in my first "big" assignment today. i'm not sure how i'm feeling about it. i mean, i'm really excited about what i've been doing, but to actually put it down into words so that the professor could see what i've been doing and trying to make sure it made any sense....that...and plus of course i had to procrastinate about doing it! ;p
today also happened to be the first day that we had our class in the multimedia lab. and might i add...the program we're working on, goldvarb, it's scary shit. i'm not a numbers girl, and the whole program is based on numbers...yaaaaay? hahaha.
well, it's 4:20pm, and i'm skipping ABT. why? because i was supposed to have my ethics paper finished already...but guess what? yah, ok..i'll leave that part unanswered. i'm just trying to finish it now. it's actually due tomorrow, but i'm going to be a training session all day...something about non-violent patients?!?!? and then guess who's graduating tomorrow evening? yay, for my smart ass sister who's the valedictorian this year. i was listening to her speech yesterday and she thought she was boring me to tears. for the record, i think it's going to be an amazing speech, i just happened to be really really really tired yesterday. it was a fight to not fall asleep in class so i guess reading me a speech at 11:30pm wasn't much of an idea. hahaha.
anyway, the good thing is that if i finish this early enough tonight, i can actually do something that i haven't done in awhile....relax...well, not really...but i can try for a couple of hours anyway!
