so i thought this 4-day weekend would've been ruined thanks to midterms and PASS... but guess not, plenty of fun...
ok well, midterms, not so much.... advanced accounting was brutal. there's no way we could've been prepared for it. damn prof lied to us... wtf he talking about "just do your homework and the midterm will be easy" yea my ass. midterm was nothing like the homework problems, nor was it anywhere close to the practice midterm that was posted. ok fine... honestly, it was fair... it required thorough understanding and application of what was taught... so i guess this would've been a midterm i'd have enjoyed.... the only thing that bugs me was how misleading the prof was. if he never said anything about it being similar to homework problems... i would've been fine... oh well... nobody else liked it...
at least fsa was good. exam was pretty damn easy... too easy for my tastes, exactly the same as the practice midterms and homework... so really, we just had to memorize what to do, not necessarily understand....
jeez... i'm contradicting myself... don't like advanced accounting cause it was different from homework, and don't like fsa cause it was exactly the same as homework..... guess there's just no pleasing me....
anyways... after midterm delays... traffic... and dropping off a bunch of people, finally made it home and began my weekend.
saturday, went to watch vinye learn to skate, then went shopping at pmall with olivia... then all you can eat sushi (mmmmm... it's been so long)... and as always, when out with olivia... she tries to study me like i'm one her her pysch patients.... she seemed pretty surprised that i want to get married by 25.... do i not look like someone who'd get married at an early age?
then went bbt with brian & gang. what i didn't understand is, why ask for the bill when we weren't done talking? why ask for the bill, pay, walk out, then stand in the middle of the parking...freezing...and continue to chat for another 2 hours? why couldn't we just have stayed inside where it was warm? but it was fun nevertheless. people thought we were crazy.... cause they'd see us standing there when they arrived.... then when they're leaving, we'd still be standing there, in the same spot, bouncing on the balls of our feet to keep warm...
so finally got home, woke up a few hours later and fought with myself about going to PASS... the good side won, and i went. soooo lucky i went... eventhough i could barely stay awake and had to dig my nails into my fingers to stay awake... i finally understood what lade has been trying to teach us for the past 1.5 months!! omg... lade had 1.5 months and 100% of my attention and he couldn't make me understand... laiken only had one morning and probably 50% of my attention, and he could still make me understand... think i'm in love with laiken.... so tempted to transfer over to waterloo just so that i can be in his tax class.
and finally, went to watch eagle eye with brian and people again. good movie, but i must once again complain about girls.... why? why must girls be so frigging troublesome and unaccommodating? dude... your bf wants to watch a movie with his friend... ok you're hungry, go grab some fast food and come back, we'll save you seats.... why do you have to be so difficult and must go eat at a restaurant? anyways.... yea... girls... can't flipping stand them...
anyways, overall, things worked out.... weekend was good. what would've made it a perfect weekend would probably if i could've gotten some exercise and tossed some frisbee.
speaking of frisbee, tossing with bdu and his friend wesley was fun... although i don't remember ever being so damn bruised from just tossing, or even from any sport i've ever played.... not only were my legs bruised from getting hit by the disc, but my right arm was also bruised in multiple locations... my guess would be from pancaking wesley's throws.

i have 2 messages for 2 people that i can't really say to their face; one for someone i love but be with, another one for someone i can't stand but can't get rid of.
to someone i love:
i'm so sorry, i finally realized what i've put you through. i'm sorry for being so inconsiderate of your feelings. i'm sorry for my ignorance. i'm sorry for thinking i know you better than yourself. i'm sorry for everything.
i'd love to appologize to you face to face, or at least on msn... but then that would mean bringing back the past and talking about what i've done... and i know that's something you don't wonna hear.
but maybe someday, you'll just miraculously forgive me for what i've done to you and how i've treated you and you'd start talking to me again.... then maybe we can be friends again? there'll always be a spot in my heart for you, and a spot in my memory for the happy times we've had together. i'm so sorry.
to the one i can't stand:
you 2-faced bitch! don't flipping come to me and act all friendly and crap when you need help with school, when you don't understand the prof's notes, or when you need a ride then flipping turn your little back on me and act like i don't exist after you've gotten what you want. if you don't like me, fine, that's great, i'm not a fan of yours either... so stay away from me. i can see right through you, you only come sit beside me so you can copy off my notes and ask me to explain stuff to you cause you're too much of a chicken to ask the prof in class.
you only do well in school cause you cram like mad and argue for marks. man i'd love to see you fail with a prof who gives pop quizzes on lecture material and won't listen to any crap about how you should've gotten another mark here or there.
given my old self, i'd have given you a piece of my mind. i'm only tolerating you cause i've learned to consider the consequences of my actions. damn man, if only i don't have to see you anymore when school's done.... why... why do we have to have the same full time job? why do i still have to deal with you after school's done? jeez.

so last night was brian's bday, made a trip out to toronto just for the night. with the gas prices sitting 1.36/l, i wonder if that was really necessary? but meh, it's over. and i had fun, so it's all good.
so night started out with dinner at jack astor's, never really a big fan of these places, cause the portions are always so big, i'm never able to finish. always such a waste. anyways, so brian goes and invites a whole bunch of people, some don't know anyone but him, seating became a problem cause there's only one of him, but a bunch of people who didn't know anyone else. he seemed to pay more attention to the girls. so couple of people probably felt left out... probably why they left early.
then when we couldn't figure out what to do, we just went to metro to watch jason play bball. his team won. bumped into benson and thena. so after the game when we were standing around trying to figure out what to do, mr. david decides that he's cold and wants to wear my jacket. when i didn't really respond, he decides to reach over and unzip it? when the zipper thing is right at my chest... wtf?
so then we went to drink. etc.
i really don't know how they see me... i enjoy hanging out with guys more thans girls cause i've had bad experiences with girls and i can't trust them... it's not cause i'm a flirt or trying to find a guy or anything... but it really just feels like they're (or at least most of them) see me as someone they can just take advantage of. maybe it's the way i act?

so according to the facebook mytype quiz, i'm an ISTJ. the quiz is actually suprisingly damn accurate. for me, and for him. cause according to the quiz, one of his strengths the ability to not hold onto past relationships.
have i let go yet? i really don't know. i'd like to say yes... but i still think of our past. i don't know if that's normal, or if it means i still haven't let go.

woke up this morning for class (have i mentioned how much i hate morning classes?)... go to the washroom to clean up and stuff... and i find the tub full of these tiny little bugs.... dunno what they are, but they're so damn small that if there weren't so many of them and if they weren't moving around, don't think i'd ever have noticed. it's like a batch of bug eggs just hatched or something. also found this big flying ant thing on the toilet seat...
so kinda disturbed and disgusted at the moment. makes me wonder what's been crawling around my clothes before i put them on... or even, what might still be on them as i put them on *shiver*
anyways, took me a while to rinse out the tub and make sure they're all down the drain. go to class, come home, and i find a dead bird outside my doorstep. looks kinda squashed, dunno how it got there since there's this hut thing over my door. but i have a feeling that by tmr morning, it'll have attracted a bunch of flies. as if my having to swat away a bunch of mosquitoes every time i come home isn't enough, now i gotta deal with flies as well? oh the joys of living in a basement.
and i go to the fridge to find food.... i see this huge milliped or something... bigger than my finger, crawling around... it disappeared before i could kill it.
*shiver*
now i'm just feeling itchy all over... paranoid?

so a friend of mine, well not really friend, more like an aquaintance, but anyways, she became a mary kay beauty consultant. and as part of her training, she has to give 30 people facials in 30 days. she asked if i was intersted, so i thought, what the heck, 'bout time i grew up and started to take better care of my skin.
so i just had my first facial. not exactly what i was expecting, when she told me i'd be getting a free facial, i thought she'd be doing stuff to my face... instead she just showed me some products, showed me how to use a cleanser and whatnot.... better than nothing i guess.
she also tried to put some make up on me. one of those "party packs" or something where they have a set pallet of colours and all you do is put it on the right part of your face. blush was way too dark, i looked like a monkey's ass... lipstick also way to red... eye shadow looked fine though. but i don't know if i'm ready to start wearing makeup yet. maybe i'll just work on skin care.
---------------
windshield still not fixed. i was told it'd only be like $300. but all the quotes i've been getting are like $581, $582, $583 etc. like twice as much as what i was expecting =/ then there's the question of who should i trust to get it done? sure there's the dealership, probably most trustworthy, but so far, takes like a day, and timing's inflexible... i udnno... i got midterms to worry about at the moment =/

i left class in tears today... i've never felt this frigging stupid or this frustrated with a class before. i mean, to have the prof come up to me after class and say "i know you're struggling with this class, let me know if you need extra help"
all through my work terms, i've been praised by my seniors as having excellent understanding of audit concepts... i finished the first audit course with a high mark... and it's not like i don't understand the concepts that is being discussed in class. sure i can't recite specific details of handbook sections like some of the others. but i know the gist of the sections...
so why? why am i having so much trouble with this class? is it the way the lecture is conducted? maybe the language? i dunno....
nothing i say in class seems to be right, yet when i look at solutions posted... it's the exact same! flip man....
-----------------------
on the other hand, my poor baby has a cracked face from my trip back to waterloo today. the crack just keeps growing. don't think it'll survive 'til i get back to toronto. should probably get it fixed before going back.

i've falling apart with so many friends cause our interests have changed as we aged:
with elementry/senior high girls... they bacame too interested in trends, make-up, boys, gossip... hanging out with them was no longer pretending to be adventurists... running around playing tag.... digging tunnels in sand pits...
maybe it's cause i've come to realize that girls tend towards those things... or according to olivia's analysis, i grew up with a lot of drama in my family of mostly females... but either way, i drifted away from female friends, have very little of them left...
with high school guys... they became interested in drinking, sing k, parties, bars, clubbing.... things that never interested me. maybe i'm too uptight... too insecure... whatever... but again, i fell away from them...
thought i'd be able to find some friends at university... silly me. if people started drinking in high school... what could i possibly have expect at university but even more drinking and partying? no friends here...
i don't remember how it started, but somehow started to hang out with this group of people from high school... was nice that they, like me, were not clubbers... sure they drink and whatnot... but only socially, not like those huge parties most people attend. we usually just go to movies, dinner, bbt... i really enjoyed hanging out with these people, cause even though they're older than me, it's nice that they, like me, are what i consider 'naive/innocent'... felt like i've found a group of life long friends.
what worries me is...some people in the group have started clubbing. i'm worried that maybe eventually, the group will start meeting at bars/clubs instead of bbt places. which means that i'd eventually fall away from them.
i think that to be able to find a group of non-partiers, especially at this age, is very difficult... don't think i'd be able to find another group if this one falls out.
maybe i'm just being too worrysome? just cause he's found a new interest doesn't mean the group's gonna go "corrupt"... or maybe this is normal for today's society, and he's just started to fit in... maybe i should too? =/
i dunno

so after saying that i'm gonna go swimming/jogging this term and getting nothing done for the first month... finally got off my lazy ass this morning and went for a jog. failed miserably. jogged for maybe 2 minutes... and died. didn't even bother pushing myself 'til i at least got to the intersection -_-
didn't even break a sweat. haiz

"sorry, but you're naive"
was up until like... 1 last night talking to a friend (what happened to sleeping around 10?). so we were talking about the importance of money, and after i said that it's necessary for survival, but not for happiness or comfort, he called me naive.
he's not the first person to think that i'm naive, or stupid for saying that money's not everything. am i wrong to think that? am i seriously naive? or have i just been so sheltered by my parents that i don't know what it's like out in the real world? or is it cause i've been having such a lucky life that i take everything forgranted?
i mean... despite how i keep complaining, i always, somehow, manage to pull through school with decent marks. despite my lacking of interpersonal/interview skills, i still somehow managed to secure a pretty good co-op job that's waiting on me to go back full-time after i'm done school. both my parents are still with me. i don't have to worry about money, my parents pay for my education and living expenses while at school.
guess that does make me a pretty damn lucky person. i guess the only thing that i feel i lack would be... i guess some kind of emotional attachment/satisfaction/fulfillment? sure i have firends, but i don't have that one "best friend"... or a boyfriend who i can always fall back on. but i guess i can't have everything in life.
sitting here now, sure i think if i was thrown into the real world, i'd be able to take care of myself... but can i really? i dunno.
but yea... other than that, there's really nothing else i want in life. i don't need some huge house or the newest technology or fancy/expensive clothing to be happy/comfortable...i just need loving. does that make me naive/unrealistic? or does that just make me not as materialistic as the average person?

seems only yesterday that i left high school and came to university... crying in his arms about the possibiity that i won't make it... and now, here i sit... 4b... almost done... most people i went to school with are also finishing/finished... and yet, looking back... doesn't seem to be much...
a lot of heartache... if it weren't for the few friends who kept listening to my same stories, who kept giving me the same advice that i just couldn't seem to follow, i don't know how i'd have been able to focus enough to get to where i am today...
socially, i'm learning to put on more of a mask and be more interpersonal when i need to be... but in terms of making friends, i don't think i've made any friends at school... of course, there's been new people who've entered my life these few years.... but they only came cause they were brought in by my friends. i'd never have been able to go out and bring them in on my own. which is probably why, i barely fit in at laurier... i guess it's probably the culture vs. my own personality. but really, after being "anti-social" for 4 years, and with only 2 semesters left, is there really a need for me to try and break outta my shell? i don't think so.
always been living alone in a basement, was happy that i at least tried living with friends/other people for once in my university career. no, i don't mean those random people that i don't fit in with at res, lived with timmy, who brought along his friends last term, winter 2008. it was a nice term, i learned how to cook for myself. i was able to interact with people on a regular basis after class, at night, over the weekend... it was a nice experience. i really enjoyed it.
do i have any regrets from my university career? i guess i have 2:
people have always told me that it's through university that i will meet my life's best friends. i havn't met a single one. maybe i went into the wrong university, but my friends are all elsewhere. sometimes i look at people, and i notice that pretty much everyone will have someone else that they're always with. a friend that they can go shopping with, go eat with, whatever. looking at myself, i don't have one. sure there's people i can talk to... but not really any one i can call on 24/7.
my other regret was that i wasn't able to have a bf during this time. always thought it'd be nice to have a bf throughout university, then when we're both done, and both have a job, we can get married. just sucks that we broke up, and things got to a point where its irreversible just before he came. otherwise, even if we don't go to the same school, with us being in waterloo together, our expereinces during this stage of life will be very similar... a good basis for a strong relationship. cause after martin, i became even more certain that i need a guy who's been through similar things in life as myself and someone who's at the same stage of life as myself for us to be able to fully understand each other. he would've been perfect. will i ever find another guy like him?
a lot of heartache... if it weren't for the few friends who kept listening to my same stories, who kept giving me the same advice that i just couldn't seem to follow, i don't know how i'd have been able to focus enough to get to where i am today...
socially, i'm learning to put on more of a mask and be more interpersonal when i need to be... but in terms of making friends, i don't think i've made any friends at school... of course, there's been new people who've entered my life these few years.... but they only came cause they were brought in by my friends. i'd never have been able to go out and bring them in on my own. which is probably why, i barely fit in at laurier... i guess it's probably the culture vs. my own personality. but really, after being "anti-social" for 4 years, and with only 2 semesters left, is there really a need for me to try and break outta my shell? i don't think so.
always been living alone in a basement, was happy that i at least tried living with friends/other people for once in my university career. no, i don't mean those random people that i don't fit in with at res, lived with timmy, who brought along his friends last term, winter 2008. it was a nice term, i learned how to cook for myself. i was able to interact with people on a regular basis after class, at night, over the weekend... it was a nice experience. i really enjoyed it.
do i have any regrets from my university career? i guess i have 2:

wow... it's almost been 1.5 years since my last post... no one uses this anymore, but i think i miss having a place to vent, so i'm back...
so what happened in 2007?
well, 2007 to now... broke up... got back together... broke up again and it's over for good. actually felt pretty relieved about it. probably cause i accidently found out that i ddin't really like him that much... it lasted that long mostly cause of the way he treated me and made me feel, but eventually, making it last just made me feel pressured and uncomfortable? or as my friend once said, the relationship was more habitual than love.
2 work terms in 2007.... think i'm starting to wear that mask much better now... don't really feel like i fit into the office either... maybe cause it's too white? could that be why the ethnical people keep leaving? but i think i'm just too lazy to find another place.. and really, even at the new place, there's no guarantee that i'm gonna fit in.... guess i'm just passive in that, if it's not completely unbareable, then just stick with it... well, that and i'm lazy...
school... only 1 term of it... 3b... but it was my best term so far... there was a hell of a lot of group work... in terms of marks... 4 a's and 1 b... never had that many a's in a term before. and ice... wow... finalists... my idea as one of the top 5 ideas... robotics competition... apparently some group stole our idea, but they didn't get as far as we did, so that was cool. "wow, that was just too perfect" "see you guys later" best comments from the judges that week. wish our group wasn't so cocky and had run over our presentation once before the final.... but oh well...
friends... not many changes with that... actually, there was this friend who couldn't seem to understand my physical boundaries... i dunno if he's just a frigging perv, or if he just doesn't know how to respect a girl, a female friend... but he would just put his hands all over the place. i mean, dude, just cause i'm willing to joke about anything with you, doesn't mean i'm willing to "do" anything with you. don't say that i can't take a joke... cause if "being able to take a joke" means that i have to sleep with you, then fine, i'm just an uptight biatch, don't touch me. and i guess, if there's one thing that's worse than touching me, it's playing with me when it comes to relationships... don't tell me "no, i'm serious, think about it, i really think we're compatible, will you be my gf?" and act all hurt when i take it as a joke... then when i start to feel bad, and give it serious thought, say "maybe i'm just a big tease" flip man. joking should only go so far... and somethings shouldn't be joked about... don't ruin our friendship and make the group awkward by being an ass.
--------------
so today's victoria day, i dunno why, but it seems that the sound of fireworks seems to make me feel lonely and empty. i really want to be able to either watch fireworks, or even do some fireworks with a bf. i think it'd be really nice.
think there's a few more things i wanted to whine and complain about.... but we'll leave it here for now....

seems like the equation "bf + brother = jealousy" is true for all cases relating to me.
so then what does "bf + brother - jealous" equal? is that even possible?
can a girl have both a bf and a brother and not have to deal with jealousy?
annoys me how bf and ex both get jealous when it comes to my relationship with my brother. why?

"that's so movie-like" says brian.
it's true too.
you know when you watch movies or soaps or whatever, you see something, and you're like "awe, that's nice, but like that'd ever happy in real life"
yup, had that same reaction too. then it happens, and i start to wonder, "have i been watching too many of these things, that's why i'm starting think/act like them? or did the script writors actually base it on real things, things they know really would happen in real life?"
---------------------
2 more exams left. who told me, back in the days, that my high school study habits won't get me through university?
unlike my peers who freak over how much studying they've done, for the past 3 exams, i've only been studying the day of. exam at 6:30pm, i wake up at like 10 or so, get cleaned up and start studying around 11/12.... gotten me through the exams fine.... or so i think....
mustn't be too over confident.
-------------------
there's been way too much group work this term. my life revolved around group meetings. sucked, hated it, glad it's over in 3 more days.
-------------------
my personal life... well, it's a big mess as always =D

Past month has been somewhat like a dream, so many unbelievable things have happened. Seems like I'm starting to wake up from it now though. Gotta love the way I act/think sometimes. Always count on me to screw things up =D
-------------------
Looking up at my calendar now, I have no idea how I managed to survive this far into the month. It's so full.
Just before the foot meeting tonight, I was just telling myself how I have too much on my plate and how I should ease up on the extra-curricular stuff.
Like I ever listen to myself... -_- went to the meeting, signed up for 2 more volunteer events. Wanting to sign up for more... but yea, bad.
-------------------
Hm... I seem to be sucking at frisbee now... maybe it's cause I don't work well with the people on the team? I think I need Hong here to coach me. Was improving so nicely over the summer. Now back to crap again.
So yea, the foot team lost again last night, that's 3 losses and no wins. what sucked more was we lost against d's team. at least he was nice about it and didn't rub it in.
on the upside, our dodgeball team is awesome!! we won tonight!! Some of those guys are just so agile, watching them dodge the balls is like watching the matrix people.
---------------------
Finally went to see Ainsworth today to pick up my diploma. Can't believe I paid $130 to write that day-long exam in return for another piece of crappy paper where it isn't even signed. the signature was scanned and printed.
---------------------
Things to do by the end of this week:
- 2 foot shifts
- CSAC rank/match thing
- CSAC proposal thing
- research for marketing group
- study for accounting midterm
- readings for finance quiz
- classes
- personal problem to resolve
might I add that tehre's only 3 days left in the week?

you're awesome, i love working with you cause we get along so well and somehow things just flow and assignments get done efficiently. but just sucks that you're his friend, he's smart, i won't deny that, but he also has this "i'm smart so you must do things my way and on my time blah blah blah" attitude that annoys the hell out of me.
why must you always want to compare answers with him?
i really would rather just get a lower mark on the assignment or get the question wrong than have to put up with his attitude. i know i said he's cool to some extent outside the office environment, but yea, guess my opinion has changed, i just can't stand him anymore.
-----------------------
some things are seeming very surreal to me atm.
----------------------
i think i'm finally regaining some of the focus and motivation that i've lost for so long. now all i have to do is keep it somehow..... maybe..... i dunno...
-----------------------
it's getting cold, i think i need to go back to toronto this weekend to grab my winter jacket, and scarf.... maybe... we'll see. if not this weekend, i really don't see another time...

"so vincy, wendy told me you were asking her for money, she said that everyone's asking her for money... blah blah blah"
wtf dude. so you went back to the office to suck up. good for you. i don't care. yes i asked her for a donation to sponsor a social for the new co-ops. if anything, my reason is better than yours, at least it's still relating co-op. what the flip are you asking for money for? e-biz? how does that benefit them in their recruiting?
you do your thing, i'll do mine. we're both co-ops, you're not any better than me. if anything, you're a better suck up than me, and you know how to climb the ladder stepping on our shoulders, and i don't. good for you, except i don't think those things are anything to be proud of.
who do you think you are passing on wendy's message in that tone of voice. what? so, just cause you went back to suck up and i didn't, i shouldn't be asking for a sponsor? bull. you annoy the hell out of me... not to mention every other co-op in the bullpen this summer.
fyi even the seniors/intermediates saw through your fake laugh and crap... but you probably don't care, cause they're probably too junior for you to waste your time on. you just want to suck up to the partners right? you disgust me, you're so full of yourself

so t'giving weekend is over. really was a lot of fun. way too short though, wish it'd never end.
got to see him 4 out of 5 days, and even on the last day, got to talk to him quite a bit on the phone.
secrets out though, my fault. definately could've done a better job hiding, but yea, just can't help it, can't help staying on the phone. maybe i'm being a little too clingy?
then again, probably for the better that the weekend ended. made him spend so much money... felt so bad.
now it be 5 or 6 weekends before i can go back to see him. *sigh* so sad.

there's something that i probably should've written about 2 weeks ago....but havn't had the time to do so 'til now.
went to watch a friend race at the stratford dragon boat festival. when i couldn't get a hold of timmy, and realized that he's probably not going, didn't wonna go myself anymore either, why would i wonna go there alone? not like i knew anyone there, except for that one friend, but he's got his own teammates to hang out with. too late to back out though, so went. guess i'm happy i did, and can't believe i'm saying this, but kinda glad he didn't come.
yes, the day itself was pretty boring. but it was nice that the spectators could get so close to the race course, so that was nice to watch. maybe after volunteering at the world championship and gotten used to watching the professionals paddle, the teams at stratford just seemed so slow, so outta sync... i dunno, just wasn't impressed with the teams at stratford, at all.
did a lot of things that day that i normally wouldn't. first off, i probably wouldn't have gone to watch a db race alone, and just for one person.
after the festival, went to this girl's house for an after party. knew her from l'am's db team, and from the sears drama festival thing... but i'm not exactly a fan of hers, and it's pretty obvious she doens't like me, i was driving her, and some of the things she said to me in MY car were just like... 'wtf i am driving you, you know, learn to keep your mouth shut'. but yea, still went to her party, yet another thing i normally wouldn't do.
met some new people there, friend's teammates. i'm really not suited to go to such parties, always thinking that people are just friendly, that's the way people are and whatnot, not realizing that they have different ideas in mind. was a good thing he was around, kept me outta trouble.
things have gotten pretty far pretty quickly with him since that night. yet another thing i usually wouldn't do, progress with someone so quickly. but it's cool.
just can't believe that i've been trying to forget him for so long, and all it took was for me to find someone else to push him to the back of my mind. still wonna be friends with him, but yea, just don't feel the same way anymore, which is a good thing =) if i'd known it was that easy, i'd probably have gone out and actively searched for someone else.... then again, that's not really me... and it's probably better to let somethings come naturally than to be actively searching/pushing for it.
let's see where this takes me. hopefully, i won't regret the decision.

been a few months since last entry... so bref update of this...interesting summer....
dragon boat
don't think i've ever hated db so much before, wish i didn't bother with trying to start the laurier team and joined PA with saif instead. felt no affiliation/bond to l'am's team at all... t'was sad. only good thing about it was that i got to see him... tho... yea... don't know if it was a good idea or not...
volunteered for the idbf dragon boat world championship, that was REALLY fun. met some cool people. she was really cold, don't know why. the german team had a nasty uniform, tight, revealing... yes... kinda scarred me... macow team was awesome.... would carry their flag and do this lil lap of honour whenever they won...
co-op
co-op was cool. a lotta fun. lotta cool people. amazing race and horseback riding at bluemountain was amazing. got really annoyed with one of the other co-ops, so fake. we (all co-ops) agreed/think that he's trying to climb the ladder while stepping on us. can't believe i'd see something like that.
term ended with a complaint from one of my clients, kinda left a mark on my records. became the main discussion of my exit interview with the HR partner and my BTC meeting with my co-op coordinator. =S
frisbee
picked up a new hobby this summer, ultimate frisbee. seems i have a main sport every summer, this one was frisbee... last summer, i pretty much lived on my bike... summer before... anyways... yea frisbee was fun... i still suck though
friends
met some new friends, renewed some old friendship ties, lost some friends... nothing much to say...
softball
finally went to watch a couple timmy's softball games as promised from years ago... quite interesting...
hawaii
so the family trip of summer 2006 was cruise to hawaii. must say it's been the best one so far, just because we actually did some interesting things, ie. climb up to the top of a volcano (awesome view), or kayaking up a river to swim in a waterfall....
love life
yes... my baby... since february 22... so good looking... so strong and powerful... most importantly, he won't hurt me. people don't know how i can fall in love with him... i don't either... but i love him... my baby's like my second love after...him....
