So I got the swine flu shot yesterday after work. My arm was sore afterwards which is pretty much normal after getting any flu shot. Unfortunately, today during work, I was not feeling so well. I was moody and had a slight fever. I’m pretty much sure it’s because of that damn shot. I’ve already taken meds for it and I do hope that it goes away by tonight. Nothing like a good rest right?

Speaking of work, it’s been alright so far. I’ve reached my 1 month mark. Kinda crazy. Just a few months ago, I was so depressed and bitching about not finding work. I’m extremely lucky to have found this one even though it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. I do plan on moving my way up where I can finally do some serious web development. Right now, I’m trying not to think about the future and to just focus on my job and my projects.

Life has been pretty good. Have a great love life and a great job. It also still has not snowed in here . Thank goodness. I guess that’s it for now. Sorry I haven’t blogged in ages. It’s not like people visit this site anymore right?

Ah so with his new job that I just got a few weeks ago comes with some awesome perks. One last week I received some free stuff. Stuff as in a razor, makeup foundation, face cloths, lip gloss and shampoo. Oh wait, I also got The Body Shops Love Etc. I gotta say, I do love free stuff. I haven’t even gotten around to using the razor since I have so many. I did use the face cloth, lip gloss and the makeup foundation. Anywho, I am blogging because the other free ’stuff’ that I got today is free food. Someone was sent over cake and these small cake things. I have no idea what they are called but they’re like a dessert in plastic cups. In case you didnt know, I love my chocolate and ice cream. This cake that was given was an ice cream cake. Great! Wonderful. My two favourite things. Unfortunately, after I devoured both the slice of cake and that small ‘cake thing’, my stomach could not handle it. Let’s just say, I had to make multiple stops to the loo. TMI I know but I guess that’s what I get for being a freeloader eh? I’ll never be eating a piece of cake in a long long time. But for non edible free stuff, I’m looking forward to getting it.

Current Mood: Depressed

Alright so this year was different. We didnt end up celebrating Halloween like we normally do. We didnt even end up buying any candies because my parents couldnt afford it. Again so depressing. My sister who is the youngest in the family suddenly got sick on the spot therefore couldnt go trick or treating. So the plan tomorrow is to buy some discounted candies and stuff myself silly. Ok may be not that bad but still… I couldve snacked on some M&Ms, some chips.. Sadly I couldnt.. Bah!

So my worst nightmare when it comes to mp3 devices have come true. I currently own a Creative Zen Vision: M 30 GB. I bought it about 2 years ago when I had a full time job therefore can afford 30 gb mp3 players. It is one of the best devices I’ve purchased so far until today when it decided to die. I guess that’s about the average life span of 30 gb mp3 players? I’m not really sure but I’m so damn disappointed since the hard drive kept on crashing and it’s taking forever to load when I first turn it on. So when it finally decided to load, I decided to backup my mp3 files by transferring it to my Vista laptop. Unfortunately it wouldnt even transfer the files! I’m so mad. I dont really know what happened because after I restarted my machine, the damn thing wouldnt work. I can charge the mp3 but my pc wont detect it therefore I cant see my files. I cant add, update or remove mp3 files. The damn thing even erased all my videos! I dont mind the videos since I could always add them but the songs! Most were deleted! I had about 1100+ songs and now I’m down to 149 songs! I even tried to backup the songs through my linux desktop using gnomad2 but that didnt even work! I do have this Ipod nano that I won.. But I didnt wanna install Itunes. With the Creative mp3 player, I didnt have to install anything to transfer songs back and forth. But with Ipods and Itouch, you need Itunes to add, edit and remove sogns. You also need quicktime in order for Itunes to work. Gah. Stupid Apple and their antics.

So it turns out that a friend of mine who has been studying Law in England is coming back to Canada. Not sure yet how long but I’m very psyched about this. Why?! I havent seen her in a year! She’s leaving England on Wednesday so thats going to be super exciting.

On to other news, I bought Smirnoff Vodka Mojito last week to try it out. It sucks. Dont ever buy it! If youre into minty mojitos, then yes buy it. Otherwise no. I havent even gotten to half of the bottle and already I wanna pour it down the drain. I did buy Mudslide though which is really really good! This is what happens when you want to try “new” things. You get screwed over…

Current Mood: Bored

Since I’m kinda jobless (I do have a part-time job), I’ve decided to catch up on my reading. Mind you when I was in university I was forced to read books. Now that I’m done, I’m volunteering to read books that I dont mind reading. Mostly “teen” type books which should be something that I’ve passed but it’s just funny. I’m currently reading this one book called Deep and Meaningful Diaries from Planet Janet. Can I say that it’s definitely worth reading. It’s funny and entertaining.

Speaking of which, I’m still searching for a full time job. With this economy, I doubt I’ll find a job until around September when companies (hopefully) start hiring again. This summer is sucking very much.

Ah so I upgraded my IE 7 to the latest IE 8. So far I’m liking it. It’s not as “heavy” as the previous version. Plus the addition of accelerators makes me want to use it more. I really should study for this midterm tomorrow instead of lounging around IE 8. It even has the similar plugin as firebug for internet explorer. J The only thing that I wish is that someone create a plugin like web developer for firefox but this time for IE. J

Just testing out this new firefox plugin called ScribeFire. It’s pretty neat. If this works out without any errors then I can blog through Firefox, Office Word 2007 and the web browser. That’s so awesome! I’m a nerd.

It seems that I havent blogged in ages. I am definitely guilty of that. Ever since school started, I’ve been super stressed. The midterms and the assignments are constantly piling up. Not to mention the fact that I just got this part time job working for the school as a Cold Fusion developer. I dont even program Cold Fusion so this is definitely a challenge. Again, learning a new language and trying to understand another persons code. I used to say that I liked school but after working full time during the summer, I’m sick of school. I wanna get out of here asap. I wanna move out and live independently. It’s possible that I’ll probably regret saying this now but right now.. Presently.. I wanna move out. I wanna finish this so-called university life and start with a career in IT. I’m still disappointed that the one company that I’ve been wanting to work for didnt call me back for an interview. It really does suck. There was a ’sign’ that I belonged there. I guess the sign was wrong. I think the fact that I screwed up on my co-op interview there just showed that maybe I’m just not fit to be a full-timer there. It really sucks. I really wish companies sent out disapproval emails when they receive ‘crappy’ resumes. They could say something like ‘Sorry but we have not chosen you for an interview.. Good luck next time… ‘ Or something to that nature. That would be good so that I dont have to keep thinking if they received my resume or not. It really does suck.

Current Mood: Okay

So my website isnt worth much. I’m a bit sad. :freak: Ah well. I guess I cant sell it anymore. lol jk. I would never sell the domain or the site. I’ve had this site in probably more than 5 years now. I’ve changed the domain 3 times now from tainted-l0ve.org to x-gyrlfriend.net to oh-gerl.net.

I’ve also found the beauty of Ajax. I didnt know so many ‘cool’ things can be great with a combination of Ajax & CSS. I’m definitely going to be adding some nifty things in my websites.

Alright so I finished accounting on the weekend. I am so relieved that I have rid of that horrible class. Surprisingly, the final was way easier than the test & midterm. I think the test & midterm was hard because it was online and we had access to our books which means you can just as easily cheat and look at your notes. The final was ok. I just wish I had studied more theory. Oh well. I am aiming for a 60% as my final mark and maybe the prof will bell curve the damn class. Also I got my fall 2008 schedule that same day. So it’s a loss and gain on the school’s part. I hate 2 days of ending at 6 pm. Monday schedule is weird since I start at 4pm and finish at 6 pm. I guess I could sleep in thats one good side but thats only 1 class. They (the people in charge of scheduling) might as well have put that class on Wed 4pm to 6pm where I am totally available. I guess not everything has to go my way.. right? So that’s that.
Speaking of work, I really think I’ve made some enemies here. It’s rather depressing since I dont know what I did to have made these people to have stopped talking to me. It’s killing me since I really have no one to rant to about work. This is going to make the whole month even longer. I cant wait ’til the 29th where I am done in here. School starts on the 2nd which I only have 3 days of ‘me’ time. It was originally suppose to be on the 4th but for some weird reason the registrar changed it to the 2nd. Those jerks. I didnt realize this until yesterday but I did do the school thing for 12 months! I didnt think I would be one of those people but I am and I didnt even realize it. So sad. Note to self, start looking for a job so that when I graduate, I have one waiting for me.

Current Mood: Nervous

So today the boss sent a note informing everyone that since its a long weekend, they can start their long weekend by leaving early.. 3 hours early!!! I was surprised since she is never this nice. I’m not saying she’s mean or anything but she has never done this before. To me, this is like a bonus (like starting off a mini vacation). Anywho, this gave me a chance to start my accounting homework early and hopefully finish early. Then go to the dreadful dentist appointment. :look: I hate going there in case I havent mentioned it here. I honestly dont think I have enough time to study for this accounting exam. I just want to pass. Despite the fact that I know this will drop my GPA by alot, I just want to pass. I honestly dont think employers will look at a subject that is not even a part of my field. Ugh just as I was writing this blog, the dentist called and said that I can come in now since theyre available… But I dont want to go now.. Ah I have to brush my teeth before I go there… :ashamed:

Ah I’ve been finally uploading the photos I have stored in my external hard drive to my flickr pro account. Thanks to Rogers by being one of their customers, I get a pro account for ‘free’. I guess until we cancel our Rogers subscription, it’s a pro-free account. With that being said, I’ve been scoping our ways to promote my flickr gallery. Most of it are photos of my sister because I hate posting pics of myself. :bored: I also have been searching for various Wordpress flickr-type plugins to use to show it of in here since Ringo.com closed on me. :weeping: Poor Ringo. I guess they couldnt compete with flickr. On another note, it turns out I’ll have to upgrade my Wordpress to the latest version. I’ve upgraded alot of my sites to the latest WP version but not this one. I guess I’ll have to deal with that before installing a plugin. But if you wanna see photos I’ve uploaded in flickr, check these out.

Flick Album!

Ah I havent blogged in ages! With 2 jobs and summer online course, it’s been hectic. Then again I like the business. So with that in mind, I have a project at work that I have to finish before Tuesday. When the baseball team is in town, I get less sleep and with less sleep, less productivity at work. That is not good at all. Nobody at work knows that I’m working a secondary job (it is only part-time) and it’s best to keep it that way. :look: Nothing else is going in my life aside from that… Today is my cousins stag party which I am still contemplating if I am going…

Current Mood: Sick

Technically it’s suppose to be Spring but the weather in Toronto is still below 15 degree Celsius. When I had to exchange something from the local drug store, I wore my winter jacket. I’m currently suffering from allergies and I didnt want to get anymore sick by only wearing my light jacket considering how it was 10 celsius yesterday. I honestly think that I’ve had enough winter and I now want the summer and spring. Due to the change in weather, I have these allergies. Whenever I wake up from a nap/sleep, my eyes itchies like crazy. I get watery eyes because I’m always rubbing it. I’m sneezing constantly. I’m always blowing my nose. I’m not cured yet. Whenever I get sick, I get REALLY sick which probably lasts 1-2 weeks. I wanted to head to the gym today since I havent been in ages but because I’m sick, I couldnt. Until I start this new job, I’ve been sitting around doing nothing blowing my nose like there’s no tomorrow… :headache: This really sucks.

Current Mood: Confused

With the amount of interviews I have this week and the amount of snow we’ve had so far (there’s more snow coming), it’s been a long, tiring week and it’s not even Friday yet. I am looking forward to the “Spring break” of doing work and maybe doing nothing. I literally miss sleeping in. Even my days off from school is no longer a day off because I force myself to come in to work and do a 8 hour shift. Also even if I don’t have this 8 hour shift, I have a lab due on this day “off”. I guess there goes my study day. I do that I might spend my Thursday next week in the library studying for the Friday midterm. I would rather do that than work. I guess there are down and up sides to it. If I work, I get paid (not much but it’s money). If I study, I’m not studying something that’s even interesting. Studying algorithms is not my idea of Thursday mornings. Meh. It’s only the second month of the second semester and I’m already looking forward to the end of the semester. So far I’ve only had 1 midterm which was my philosophy class and I’m so glad I did ok. I didn’t get my marks yet but I at least know that I probably got at least a B on it. :embarass: So that’s that. Basically the only job that I wanted for this summer internship has most likely been taken already. The company already had interviews and they didnt contact me. I have not heard from them. That really upset me. I wanted to go back to work there so badly. I thought that my previous experience of working there would get me “brownie” points but I guess not. I guess my misspell of “unoficial” screwed me over. Hey one company missed it so I thought it would be the same for this one. Ah well… I’m not saying I wont be applying there again because I will. That company is so fit for me. I can see myself being there doing the whole 40 hour weekly shifts and feeling all proud that I made it this far… Meh, is it too early to talk about that work stuff even when I’m not even close to graduating university yet? I didnt know what I planned on doing until I got to working there. I knew what career I wanted but I didnt know where.. until I worked there..

I can’t believe I managed to blog through Word 2007. I can’t believe Microsoft integrated this in their latest Word 2007. Why didn’t Open Office think of that earlier? Microsoft so so smart… Any who, one of the downsides of blogging from Word is that I can’t press my smilies/emoticons or choose a ‘mood’ for the entry. Oh well… I won’t be blogging through Word that much. I would rather blog through the WP script. But it’s still cool to know that there are other alternative to blogging. This week has been a long one. I am glad that tomorrow is Friday and Friday happens to be one of my longest days of the week. 6 hours of lectures from 9 -3 pm non-stop. No breaks in between. I will be so exhausted. I think I will be bringing the laptop tomorrow which is something I rarely do now since it’s a distraction from the lectures. Now that I’m a part of the ‘bigger’ kids in college (that sounded kind of lame no?) most of my peers will either be graduating this year or going to do their Masters in the same university. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to take my Masters. I have no money whatsoever and I find that once I graduate, I just want to get out of school and work. I know that I missed school during my 1 year of working but after going back to school, I miss work. I miss the money I was getting every 2 weeks. I work part –time now and the money I’m receiving is just not enough to cover everything. In fact, I just paid my visa last week. It turns out I was in debt by $500+ over the holidays!!! I didn’t know I had spent that much money during Xmas & New Years. I’ve never spent that much on a holiday. I paid it off but that also meant I had to take $500+ off my savings which I was planning on using for my next tuition in Fall 2008 in case I don’t earn enough money in my next internship or not get any internship at all… I continue to tell myself that I won’t go shopping but just yesterday I went shopping. It’s all the clothing sales in the mall that’s driving me crazy. My university is 5 minutes away from the mall so it’s very hard to resist. I can’t wait for all these sales to go away…

So yesterday I received a customer service survey from HP and decided to take it. Normally I wouldnt give a flying crap about doing surveys but due to my recent experience with HP I just had to voice my opinion. I gave most of them low ratings except for the agents. They were helpful and patient. It’s the fact that they said I would get the adapter in 14 business days (or something like that) and a month later I still have not received it. Also how it took them 3 agents to tell me that they were out of stock. :pissed: I also stated that after dealing with that that I would never buy another HP product again (which is true). I will never buy another HP product again. I was eye-ing this really pretty Toshiba laptop last month and I wish I had bought that one instead of this HP laptop. It’s white and it’s so pretty… Mind you, my HP laptop is cute, light and all nifty except this Toshiba is prettier and cuter. Anywho after all of that rant in their customer survey, I check my email the next day (today) and low and behold, I get a confirmation email stating that they have shipped my adapter and that I should be getting it tomorrow… :slant: So hopefully they live up to their email and I do receive this adapter.

Current Mood: Angry

Ah so my original plan was to continually call HP everyday until I get my laptop adapter in the mail. So my third call was today because last Monday they said that it would take about 2 business days for me to receive my adapter. I called them again saying the same old reference number so that they dont have to ask me for my name, phone number and laptop serial number. Then this time I got a lady. It was mostly guys I have spoken to about this. I informed her for the current situation. ‘I was suppose to get a laptop adapter on Monday but since I didnt they said that they would send one asap which would take about 2 business days. They said that but when I checked online for the status, the status was not updated. It wasnt shipped. Now when am I getting my adapter?’ She calmly informed me that I will be on hold while she finds more information. :sowhat: 2 minutes later… ‘Well it turns out that they have run out of stock of adapters. They will be sending you an email for a set date on when you will be receiving the adapter but it is likely that you will be getting it on Oct 29.’ So I’ll be getting it on Oct 29? Yes… so she says. She better be friggin accurate on this because if I dont get my adapter by Monday. I will be calling them again and this time I wont be so nice. I might just yell. :x

PS. It took me about 3 calls to find the reason why they havent sent me the adapter. The first 2 calls I got was with 2 guys who didnt even bother finding out why my adapter wasnt sent. At least with this lady that I spoke, she bothered to call them and ask why I didnt get it and gave me the reason that they ran out of stock. :irked: Typical men.

I have to rant about this. As you can see below I blogged about my HP laptop’s adapter no longer recharging the battery so HP was to send me a replacement adapter. They said that in a week I should be getting the replacement through fedex. And guess what? A week later and still no f*cking battery. :x I’m so livid. I will never buy a HP product ever! :devil: The customer service sucks because they dont know what they are talking about since I am totally convinced that the battery is the one that should be replaced not the bloody adapter. Then their shipping department also sucks balls for not sending in my bloody adapter. So I had to call HP today again and tell them that after looking at the status (online) I was suppose to receive a bloody adapter. It stated in the site that it wasnt even shipped in the first place. Ugh. Now the agent said that I should be getting this adapter within 2 business days. I know for a fact that he’s just making me feel better when in reality, it will take another f*cking week for it to get here. I should have bought a bloody MAC. :banghead:

Got this from another blog. I thought I’d share this with everyone. Do read unless you are easily offended.

A couple, both 67, went to a sex therapist’s office. The doctor asked, “What can I do for you?” The man said, “Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?” The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. The doctor examined them and then directed them to disrobe and go at it. When the couple finished, the doctor reexamined them and, upon completion, advised the couple, “There’s nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse.” He then charged them $32. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse with no apparent problems other than the lack of vigor which is to be expected in 67 year-olds, get dressed, pay the doctor, and then leave. Finally after almost two months of this routine, the doctor asked, “Just exactly what are you trying to find out?” The old man said, “Oh, we’re not trying to find out anything. She’s married and we can’t go to her house. I’m married, so we can’t go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $60. The Hilton charges $78. We do it here for $32 and I get $28 back from Medicaid.

So my 1 month old HP laptop decided to not charge my the battery. Every time I attach the laptop battery it doesn’t charge at all. It continually states that the adapter is not attached thus its not charging. So I had to call HP today to get it check out. I thought it’s the battery since the adapter is working fine if I attach it (without the battery) but the agent from HP said that it’s the adapter so they are sending in a new replacement. I spent one hour with them and thats what they came up with. Ugh. Thankfully I don’t have to pay anything. But really.. Only a month and already problems with my laptop. I’m so sad and disappointed.. Now I know not to buy a HP laptop in the future.. :no: Thank God I still have this charger so that I can use it to and from school. I just cant use the battery with the laptop.

So this month is filled with midterms. Due to that, I’m behind in my Philosophy reading which I didn’t want to since I like that course. I already missed 1 class since I slept in. :irked: Now I have to ask someone for notes. Artificial Intelligence is being difficult. Too much memorizing for the test on Friday. Then I have 3 more and also I’ll be handing out candies for Halloween which I don’t want to do since I have a test a day after that I have to study for… I dont mind handing out candies but this year I do since I gotta study like mad. :weeping:

Current Mood:

So I bought my Philosophy book 2 days ago and I have not heard if it’s been processed or what not. I got the confirmation email but no status on whether they’re in shipping mode etc. Then today I googled around and found that Google books has the full version! :eek: First of all, I didnt even know that Google has a Google books. Second, I didnt know my book would be there. I am so sad since I just paid around $27 Canadian on the book and I havent even heard if its going to be shipped soon…. So much for not buying too much books as it is. But really so far I’ve only purchased around $40ish worth of books which is not too bad. One book I found online and others I borrowed or I dont need books.

This week has been an easier week that last week. Thankfully, my mood last week did not continue. I’m in the mood to learn. And slowly going to that school mode again. It was just that monthly visitor.. That’s all it was…

Argh in a few days I’ll be back in school. I dont know but I’m a little excited and looking forward to it. Right now, I’m kinda bored without having to work and stuff. I shouldnt say that because I know that I’ll miss working as soon as I go back to school. So it turns out that I did get the job. She hired me on the spot yesterday during the interview. I’m so psyched. Whatever it is that I’m doing it’s a little challenging but it’s a research thing and I hope I’ll be able to balance this with school. I’ll be working in my university so it’ll be just right ‘there’. ;P Right so I have so much crap to do this week like maybe get a new laptop (I’ve never had one), pay off my tuition, buy a backpack, go to the dentist and wait for an email back from my university for this job. I hate going to the dentist. It turns out I have 2 cavities. It really stinks. I hate going there in the same week. :slant:

Plus the weather here has been so weird. The last few weeks was like 17 C now its like 27C. It went from me wearing my fall jacket in the end of August to wearing shorts again. Argh. Damn this climate.

Now that I officially have 1 job left, I find myself staying home and being bored and surfing the internet. After all, after September, I will be jobless. Thanks to the Blue Jays, I have this seasonal job that I can rely on every summer. Then after that I am doomed. I need a job for the school season and I am currently searching for one. I really dont want to have to fall back on doing retail again since that was what I did 2 years ago. I dont really want to have to lie to people and tell them that they look great on that black dress pants. :slant: If worse comes to worse, I will have to return to retail. I already know that I might get the job back if I go back ‘there’. I remember having no job for a month and it was killing me… I looked and looked. Finally finding something that I thought was so awesome but in reality it was almost like slavery.

Also I havent put myself in the gym for ages. I really should since I am paying for it monthly. If I dont get a job in a few months, I will be discontinuing my gym membership and just going to the university gym instead. I really dont want to have to do that. But we’ll see..

I’m excited that the school season is coming back yet at the same time, I dread the fact that I’ll be jobless once again. I guess there’s a downside to everything. :sad:

Thank goodness I’m off tomorrow from work. This whole DST is making me so tired this past week. Im still not used to going back to my routine at sleeping 11 pm but rather sleeping at 12 am. So I end up so tired the next day that I have to drink something that’ll wake me up (coffee ugh). I dont drink coffee. It makes my teeth yellow so I should force myself to sleep as early as I can starting next week so I dont have to drink that stuff anymore.

Finally I signed up to Flickr and uploaded my photos. I had to remove my gallery in here as they were taking up alot of space plus the spam was going overbearing. You can view my photos there. I’m not a professional photographer but I do like taking pics of objects & places. But I hate taking photos of myself. Flickr has this really cool thing where the thumbnails that is generated from your photograph is so clear and sharp but when you see the actual photo, it’s not so clear… I honestly do not have the time to ‘photoshop’ every single photo that I’ve taken so you’ll see that while the thumbnail is so sharp and clear, the actual image is not so sharp and clear.

So the trip to the zoo this Saturday is cancelled. I’m disappointed as I have never been to the Toronto Zoo. A bit pricey for just 1 day but it’s not like I go to the zoo ever.

Also just a little fyi, if I ever had to pick one food to eat in a year, it would be sushi. Any type of sushi minus the wasabi.

So yesterday we had this horrible snowstorm. Which gave us enough snow to last a lifetime. I left work early (4pm) and didnt get home until 7 pm. That was because the bus took forever because of the traffic. I had to cancel my gym plans (again!). I promise myself to go to the gym on Saturday and Sunday. I cant continue doing this. Going twice on 1 week then skipping it the week later. It has to be constantly consistent.

A friend invited me to go clubbing tonight.. But I dont club. I wanted to club but I had no ride.. So the question is why invite me if you weren’t planning on offering me for a ride? I dont get it. I’m sure she was just being nice since I havent seen her in ages but I dont know. I dont wanna be stranded in the city without a ride. Not in this “great” weather. :no:

On a happier note, according to DNScoop:

The estimated value of http://x-gyrlfriend.net is: $8,400
The estimated value of a single link on http://x-gyrlfriend.net is: $13 /month

If you were to sell 8 spots on one page, you could generate $104/month in revenue for your website.

Today was an interesting as I got a raise from the company. I dont know about you but I’m there as a co-op student aka intern so I was a bit shocked that after 4 months, I got a 3% raise. I will definitely want to come back to this company when I graduate. I will also recommend this job for my fellow co-op buddies. So this means I should really get serious with the saving as I want to go back to school this September.

On another note, Vista is coming at the end of this month.. Just informing my fellow geeks out there :ashamed:

Apparently my lovely desktop is not cool enough for Microsofts’s new OS, Vista… lol I laughed once I found this.. I just bought a new RAM too.. So my desktop graduated from 256 MB to 768 MB. :grin: Me so proud.. I was nervous on removing the original RAM just to see if I knew how to put it together but it went ok. So I left the house and bought a 512 MB and installed it. No issues.. No problems.. Then I go here to check if my pc is ready for Bill’s next invention but I failed in 3 categories.. The video card, RAM and free Disk space.. Yes I have 3 GB left but really if and when I do install this Vista, I’m going to want to format my hard drive anyway so I will have enough space.. As for the video card, I’ll fix that last.. ;P Will have to do some research on what I should get. So check it out if you are just as curious, click on the link below.

So I started my first day as a desktop analyst. And I dont finish at 3 but 5.. Pretty disappointing since I wanted to finish at 3 for my Blue Jays job. I guess I will have to quit that. I dont think I can give 2 weeks notice.. Sucks but I guess I have no choice. I do hope to come back next season though. So that was today. It was alright. It was a long day. I was tired and bored but that is just the beginning. I will get used to it soon. I Hope. Give me a month? lol Apparently I will have to get something to do since there will be times where I will be bored. I dont know what to get yet. Maybe a book or a magazine.

Went shopping today after work. I needed to buy a new pair of walking shoes for work. When I get comfortable, I will leave them at work and wear flip flops to work.. Ghetto but I dont care as long as my feet doesnt start hurting. I get my own cubicle and computer with internet access… My own phone as well. I’ve never had my own cubicle ever.. It’s a pretty big one at that. There’s a possibility that I’ll get lonely. I guess when I’m comfortable, I’ll decorate it lol. I dont like how the computer chair is facing the back of the cubicle door so I wont know who’s behind me looking at my desktop when I’m doing my job. lol. Oh well…

Right so back to shopping, I went to buy 2 new tops and a pair of flats for work. I also bought a new bra.. Argh.. Vanessa has a bigger set of twins.. :embarass: I wont say the size but they grew.. So next topic, I’ve been busy with work that I have forgotten to watch this dvd that I rent out.. Hostel. I hope I dont get a huge fine for returning it late. Also saw World Trade Center with a friend. That was ok. I didnt cry like I thought I would but the rest of the theater did. :slant: I guess thats it.. It’ll be a while for me to get used to this going to work instead of school routine.. ;P

ARgh technology sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead: So I finally bought a tv tuner.. I was so happy and all.. It took me the whole afternoon trying to figure out how to attach the tv tuner in my pcl slot or is it pci? Lol I dont know. When I finally did, the computer didnt have that message bubble that said ‘Found new hardware’ but I installed the software anyway… Then it didnt work.. :mad: So I shut off the pc again and opened my computer and removed the tuner and put it in another slot. Then finally when i turned on the pc, I found that ‘Found new hardware’ message. Thank God! So I had to reinstall the hardware and the software. When I finally (sorta) figured out how to watch tv from the program, it sais ‘No TV tuner’… WTF… :irked: I hate installing new hard drives in my pc.. I hate it.. It drives me crazy!!! :devil: So I checked out the site and look at the troubleshooting area and found that its either because the hardware wasnt installed (the tv tuner which I thought I did right!) or the program couldnt locate the hardware.. Such mumbo jumbo.. Then I was looking at the cable and it turns out that I have no tv cable in my room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: Made me mad even more because now I dont know how to attach a working cable in my room. I’ve tried looking for a splitter and couldnt find any. Even if I found one, I wouldnt know where to put them. Do I attach it to the room next door? Or attach it to the living room.. I have like 30 days to return this tv tuner and it drives me crazy! It really does.. I’d have to uninstall the programs and figure out how to remove a hardware in my pc..

Not that my friday couldnt get any worse. The interview that I uploaded in youtube of Uma Thurman in Conan O’Brien was deleted because it was copyright infringement!!! :slant: Well sorry.. I didnt know it would be rejected. So I didnt even get a chance to read the first comment it got. Once a video is rejected, its still in your account but it cant be deleted. It’s just sitting there… It’s so damn retarded! :ashamed:

So it’s August now. A brand new month.. Last month has been such a disaster. I dont even want to talk about it since I am trying to get over “it”. This summer has been such a roller coaster it’s ridiculous.. With all the job interviews I had to go through, the guys and the job I have now. It’s like in June there was a guy then in July there was another guy which was just a waste of time. I wish I never met him. So yeah, I really am trying to get over that. So on to August and a fresh start. Maybe a new guy?! lol I’m such a player.. lol Jk! I dont have work until Friday so I am sitting here on my behind doing nothing but reading. I would go shopping but I’ve done so much of that last week that I dont want to spend anymore until I get this new job. Working keeps me busy so yeah I like to work. I may complain about it then again who doesnt complain about work??

I’m not a Firefox hater or anything because I do love another alternative to IE. But I thought I’d share this link to those who use Firefox than Opera…

Hahaha. I’ve finally managed to put up some pics in the gallery. I uploaded pics of me (nothing special there), Niagara Falls area and my cousins kitten.

I really thought I got rid of this cough last week but all of a sudden last night I started coughing like crazy… Not good at all. I had a horrible sleep last night since I couldnt breathe and all. I’m not sure whether I got this from my mother or something I ate (which was touched by somebody who was sick).

I need to go shopping today just to get out of the house. I got my refund taxes from the govt. Plus I need that to pay off my visa bills… :ashamed: I need some more summer clothes.. But I dont think summer wants to come. It looks sunny outside but it’s cold.. :slant: Meh..

Alright so I’ve finally gotten out of my behind to upgrade my version 1.5 WP to 2.0.2… As you can see alot of my previous plugins are no longer working in the new version except for the smilies in here :flow: and the smilies in the comments.

Right so since school is done and I’m anxiously waiting to see my horrid marks especially in assembly language. I’ve managed to like I said update my websites. I’ve added a new counter/stats in here. I’m using my scanner alot more now to scan my magazines to kill time until I find a job *cough* *cough*. :sowhat: I might actually install this WP plugin to kill the spam thats been harassing my site for a few months now.. Meh We’ll see..

I am still “internet free” at home which sucks… One of the very few good things that has resulted to not having the internet at home is the fact that 1) I can do my homework without any distractions such has fixing my websites, MSN and such. 2) I tend to go to bed earlier than usual.. More like 10-11 pm-ish. Thats about it. The cons are basically, I cant check my email. I cant do my homework online especially on C programming. So thats a bust. :no: I have 2 more midterms coming up. One this Friday and another one in Thursday of next week. I am a little worried since I didnt do so well on my first midterm. I didnt do as well as I had hoped although I was so sure that I can do so much better except I didnt study as hard as I normally do… I dont know whether it’s because I didnt have the internet, which is sorta needed for the programming part.. I dont know really… :slant: I finally have a door to my room.. I didnt have one when we moved in the new house but now I do. It was attached yesterday. It’s not a “normal” door. It’s one of those folding doors that you have to slide to open it instead of pushing the door in the room. Yeah, it sucks. I’m not too thrilled that I didnt get a “normal” door with a lock and everything. I’m still paranoid that somebody might just burst open the door without knocking…

I am in need of a job. I havent started looking ever since my last day as an usher. That was maybe 3 weeks ago.. For some odd reason, I’m not too worried that my $ wont last long. I guess its because my mind has been preoccupied with homework and such. I hope to go job hunting once these 2 midterms are over.. Then again I do have projects due after those tests so we’ll see what happens…

Yay!! I think I should celebrate. I’ve hit my 20,000 hits!!! :jump: :grin: I’m such a dork. Might blog later after work. We’re against Chicago White Sox. Go Jays!!!! 8-)

Alright so we lost… 5-3 oh well. Its better than having a tie and have to stay there until 12th inning. I also got a free bat. A Corey Koskie bat which might be worth something in the future. :smile: Only employees got the free bat. They were left over from the last give away. Tomorrow’s another game day except I have to be in early since there’s a meeting going on. Everybody has to come in. :sowhat: That means I have to leave the house by like 8 am or something. Thats it. Boring entry I know.

Alright… So my mouse stopped working which means.. I’m off to constantly using my keyboard and the tab button… No smilies in this entry since I cant click on the mother fuckin thing… I swear too much. I gotta buy a brand new mouse tomorrow if I do remember.

Yesterday was my first training as an Usher in Blue Jays. For non-Canadians, Blue Jays is the only baseball team in Canada… Note the “only” word in there. It was a little weird since I havent done anything like this. Their rules are way too strict for my liking but I do have to live with it if I want this job. For example, if I need a day off, it must be in a written letter. If you see a baseball player in the stadium, do not ask for an autograph. That one is the worst. I dont like baseball but it would still be cool to get one… right? Another is if a foul ball lands in front of me and I happen to catch it first, I cannot keep the ball. If I get free baseball tickets, I cannot use it for myself I have to ask the supervisor if I want to go to that game as a fan…. Thats just one of the few rules that I dont like…. Here’s another one… If there are left over free toys, you cannot get one… They do bag checks all the time. Meh..

Some of the great benefits of being there, 50% off on food.. 30% off on Blue Jays merchandise including tickets. And they have all these other things that I dont need… like parking but I dont drive..

Another training day is tomorrow.. I gotta write a letter on when I want that day off..

Alright so last night Denise got a fever so poor me and my dad had to be punished by her constant crying. Every hour my dad would wake up to carry her so she would go back to sleep and stop crying. Then finally at 3:30 am it was my turn. I wasnt too happy since I adore sleeping. I didnt get a good nights sleep until 7 am. Even at 7 she woke up and I refused to acknowledge her since I knew that my mom will hear her crying. She just came back from work at 7 am. Night shift. So yes, my sleep was interrupted. So was Denise’s. Poor baby. She’s better now. She’s not as hot as last night. I just hope that she’ll get some good sleep tonight.

I spent the whole day doing java homework since I got work tomorrow. I didnt finish everything though as usual. Had 2 questions left over. Oh well. One funny that happened today. So it turns out I was the one picked to adopt the Tainted Love fanlisting. I adopted for this a while back. Probably around Christmas time. I didnt hear back for a while so I thought I didnt get it. It’s no big deal I guess since I was only rejected for it 2 or 3 times! Then the owner contacted me saying that she had picked me despite the tough decisions. But she did ask if we could trade. She wanted my Twix fanlisting. I was shocked at first then after much thinking and pondering I said yes. I wasnt mad or angry. Just surprised. After all, the song is one of my faves of MM. Twix was also one of my first fanlistings. Even though it has such crap layout, it does have alot of members (in my opinion at least). I just feel so proud when one of my fanlistings hits 100+. So yes, I didnt think I would part with Twix but I am… I am a loser for being so emotional about a fanlisting. :???: :ashamed:

ARRGh!!! :devil: Damn spam is hitting up my comments again. I have to install some kind of a blacklist thing in add with this notification. I dont want to be hit with huge emails mind you.

Anyway, I’m so behind with my fanlisting creation process. Damn university ruining my web life.. Did I just say that? I dont have a life. Sorry. I have test & quiz on Thursday and I’m writing notes like mad. Call me crazy but thats the only way for me to study… :read:

I finally got my The Sims cd. I love it to death. It’s so addictive. Yes I’m old-school. I have the first cd.. I might get the expansion packs soon.

I dont normally advertise my fanlistings here since that belongs here but I just had to in here. I’ve recently adopted the Charlotte York fanlisting and I am definitely honoured in getting it. The about section is not yet done though. That’s it.

I’m off to work early tomorrow… EW..:freak:

Why is it that the WP control panel looks wonky in Opera???

I doubt anybody can answer that. So today I worked.. Nothing new on that except for the fact that indeed the store is closing. There were rumours going around the mall/store that our store (Laura Secord”) is closing somewhere around April. Random people have been asking us about it and my boss had asked her boss about it but she said no. Either she’s lying to us or she doesnt know or the store isnt really closing. But I think she’s lying to us. She isnt exactly the nicest person in the world. I’ve heard that she threatened another manager saying that if she doesnt work, she’ll be fired. The manager was sick… She had to work because of the threat then now she doesnt work anymore.

So yes, I might need to find another job. It is also possible that Vanessa will be relocated to another LS. If that’s the case, I want it to be somewhere close. If it’s far then I’m off to job searching which I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now but dont have the time to do it. :smile:

As you can see in here a new blog has been installed since MT was getting on my nerves. I still like it but the fact that I couldnt skin the comments because it’s Perl sucks ass. So I’m back to the php weblog script called Wordpress. It’s alright so far. I did have alot of trouble installing the thing and configuring and tweaking to my sites needs. It’s not such a bad script since it already has a an option of me authorizing the comments that goes in my blog. If you post, I have to authorize it in order to be viewed by the public. Spam control I tell you! :devil:

Mind you the site has a new layout and the damn menu is fidgetting whether I hover it while using Firefox. But other than that it’s a-ok. I do plan on removing some contents since I dont have the time to update that side of the site. I’m too much focused on creating fanlistings.

School started on Wednesday and it’s alright. I do have the occasional 3 hour gaps between classes which sucks ass. That’s bad since I’ll be bored alot. I’m either on the comp at school or shopping to the nearest mall. Since I’m broke I’ll try not to do that.
