Sick
I’m feeling really crappy today. My friend just came by yesterday and I’m feeling the cramps. :embarass: I went to the local Chinese supermarket and decided to do some small grocery shopping. I bought green tea (we ran out :weeping: ), milk tea, green tea ice cream, green grapes & eggo waffles. When I got home, I opened the waffle and noticed that the box had a hole in it. Worried that there might be rats inside, I opened it and noticed that a nail had been pushed inside the box which went through the plastic. I was quite shocked. I didnt pay $5 for eggo waffle just to buy one that has a nail inside! I dont drive so it’s not like I could just go back to the store and ask for a refund. I was just disappointed & disgusted at this Chinese store that next time, I’m going to have to be careful on the things that I buy in there. The rest of the stuff that I bought went fine. Anyway, I still have to leave the house to return 2 books. It wouldnt renew through the library website. :banghead: The fact that it’s really cold and I’m having this cramps is totally preventing me from leaving the house. Bleh.

Just found 2 spam comments in here that Akismet didnt catch. :no: Anyway, I havent blogged in ages. I’ve been preoccupied with various school projects and online projects. I’ve even become disinterested in ‘fanlistings’. I havent made one in ages. I havent even joined one in ages. So I’ve been looking around for jobs that I hope to get when I finish school. So far I’ve only gotten 1 interview that I didnt really want after hearing that they had 300 applicants and only decided to cal 80 of them. It sucks but that was the story. Now it’s just blank since. No job postings anywhere. Hiring freeze sucks. I guess thats all I’m gonna say… Meh.

So I didnt think I would ever think of buying a Dell but I just might be tempted to after seeing that lovely piece of machine. I’m an Ubuntu user and seeing that laptop where I dont have to install it and the fact that it’s so cute and cheap, makes me want to get a new toy for Xmas. I have been wanting a new desktop.. Well that is the problem… I need a new DESKTOP not a laptop. I cant just get rid of the XP and replace it with a Linux! :ashamed: Alot of the softwares out there is only compatible with XP (VPN for my university for instance). Ack.. Such temptations.. :weeping:

Depressed
Ah guess who just turned 24.. Doesnt really surprise me that I woke up too early today and had a horrible day on my bday. I get all depressed whenever 9/10 comes. Dont ask me why because I honestly do not know. I guess it’s a whole chemical imbalance thing? I dont get depressed often so I’m not sure why today it had to happen. I guess I was all fatigued and just not in the mood for school. I honestly just want to get out of here and just work. I dont even feel like searching for a job since my current job ends in 3 weeks. I guess I’ll have all the motivation back soon. I hope anyway.

So I had a 4 day weekend this weekend. I’m off on Thursdays so that helped alot. Alot of school crap was due last week and I’m just relieved that I get 4 days to “recuperate”. Now that I did that for the last 2 days, here I am on a Saturday trying to do work. Yes I do homework on a Saturday. I tried to do the programming assignment but the more I stared at C code, I got this fat headache. Frustration started pouring in. My mind was all boggled. Then I got too frustrated that I decided to do another assignment. Something less coding and easier to do. Unfortunately after ‘googling’ on how to find the answer for this one, I also again got all frustrated and annoyed. So no progress there as well. I got 2 days left to start on these projects and I’m not going anywhere… :banghead: I could always read… Then reading would just bore me to death… :x

I have an Oz obsession. I love the HBO show so much that I decided to finally buy the last season today. A few days ago it was $47+ in Futureshop/Bestbuy. When I saw that they had it on sale again for $21.99, I decided to buy it before Futureshop decides to change the price on me again. When I checked it out to the cashier, the male cashier looked at me kinda funny. I said ‘what?’. I thought he looked at me because Oz is not exactly rated G tv show. It has naked men, violence, sex and drugs. So what would a woman like me doing buying/watching a show like this? But no. That was not the reason why he looked at me funny. He said that when he scanned the Season 6 dvd, the screen prompted a message stating that if the buyer appears to look under 25, they have to ask for an ID to show that the buyer is over 18 years of age since the DVD is rated R.
I was a little surprised. I haven’t been carded for a long time. The only time I was carded was when I looked young to buy a drink. Ever since then I haven’t been carded for years! I wasn’t offended or anything. I just found it funny how they would check ID on people who purchase rated R DVDs. I don’t know if it’s because I bought Oz or what. But apparently they card people on games that are I guess deemed too violent for kids. But this isn’t the first time I had bought an Oz dvd. In fact I already have seasons 1 through 5 and none of them have carded me in the past. Four out of the five was from Futureshop. Maybe they just didn’t bother… I’m not too sure..

When they had the elections last year in Ontario, I wanted to vote. I just became a citizen less than a year ago and I wanted to vote since that is one of the things that you get to do as a Canadian citizen. I was waiting for my Registration Card which informs you where you should go to vote. It’s not necessary if you dont have it but still. This was back in October. I never received the registration card until now… January 2008… :irked: So useless. How are citizens suppose to vote if they dont send the Registration card on time?!!! By the way, I didnt end up voting during the election. I was too busy with school. :sowhat: I guess I am just a lazy Canadian citizen.

So I bought the new HP book on Saturday when it came out. I’ve had 2 gift cards from Chapters for so long now that I thought they were expired. I thought maybe I should use one of them to buy the new HP book. I dont even know how much the gift cards are worth. So at 10 am, I went to Coles and asked the cashier how much they are worth. One was worth $20 and the other $45!
The $45 was definitely enough to buy the HP book. The book in total was $38 (with taxes & all). I was so happy! For those who have not finished the book & dont like spoilers, you should stop reading this entry now. :ashamed: I’ve been reading it lately and 3/4 of the book is kinda boring…. :bored: I remember the last HP books and every chapter ended with some suspense that you continue to read the next chapters. But this time it’s not. They do alot of travelling so it’s not really that exciting. But I still spend lots of hours not sleeping and reading the book. Therefore I am really tired due to the lack of sleep. I’ve been tired this past few days because of it and also the fact that I went to work last night.
I’m sure as soon as I am finished this book, I can go back to my regular normal routine of sleeping early (and not at 12 am). But once I got to the last quarter of the book, it got exciting… Alot of characters die… I should stop talking and putting spoilers in here. Argh..

If someone were to ask me what I did on Canada day, I would say “I went shopping”. I havent gone shopping for a while. I did go to the mall a few days back but I didnt shop. This time I did. It felt so damn good. I went to French Connection since they had a 75% sale which is huge. Normally I cant afford anything in there but this time because of this huge sale, I was able to afford 2 tshirts. :jump: Black shirt that states ‘Too Busy to Fcuk’ and white shirt that states ‘fcuk it’. I love it. The white one is kinda see-through though. :embarass: I’m not even sure if I could wear the shirts to work.. Oh well I’ll wear it to the Blue Jays on Sunday. :wink: Then I went to buy a pair of cargo pants on another store and a $10 skirt in Jacob Connexion. It was great. I love sales! lol Then tomorrow I’ll be going to the gym since it’s open tomorrow. Then I’m back to work again on Tuesday where we are going to lunch for a coworker who’s going to another country for her boyfriend… Which I dont agree on. I would never move out of the country for some guy who I have only been dating for a short while. Yeah I will not blog about that in here.. Only because she knows what I think.. I would never leave my family & friends behind for a guy who I’m moving with in another country if any or all of the conditions are true: a) I’ve only been dating him for less than 3 years. b) No ring is involved. c) No job is available for me in the new country. That means I will be depending & relying on the guy. I refuse to depend on the guy. Anyway that is the blog for the day.

Why is it that after I go to the gym I get really really hungry? Is that normal? I just came back from the gym and I wanted to buy a cheesecake blizzard from dairy queen after. I also had a craving for a sub and sushi. :ashamed: Crazy… Anyway this weekend is a long weekend.. I dont really do anything except just bum around and sleep. Then I get home and really there is nothing to eat.. I might as well just grabbed a sub or something. Bleh. :slant: I’ve been craving all these foods. I dont know.
I’ll make this entry short and sweet. Here’s an online Tarot reading if you’re bored..

You see that entry below marked as ‘Not Trustworthy’. Well it worked out for the best 2 days ago. And I’m so glad it did otherwise it wouldve ruined my weekend and *his* weekend.. 8-) Now I am still struggling with this stupid report that I have been slacking off for so long. I will write whatever it is that I have to write and I will end up editing it tomorrow during work. Then hopefully I wont have to worry about it for a week or so until I have to write the second one.
So today I decided to go to the grocery and buy myself some fruits to last for the week. The grocery store is walking distance away so I took my sister with me. Unfortunately the apples was pretty crappy. It was not green enough for me.
I like them really really green. I dont eat red apples because they taste like ’sand’. lol :ashamed: These ones were light green with some yellow-ish color. I had no choice so I bought 4. Hopefully they taste ok. It’s like what they say “Dont judge a book by its color”. But this time it’s “Dont judge an apple by its color”. I also bought some apricots which looked good surprisingly.. I have yet to taste both fruits lol. I’m sure while I was with my 3 year old sister, people thought she was my daughter. After all, we do have this huge difference. I’m 22 she’s 3. She could be my daughter according to some people. According to my dad, we do look alike. I really think she looks alot like my younger bro when he was young but a female version. I dont really care though. I dont get offended if they think she’s my kid. Haha!

If my mother asks me to clean my room and I did this, my mother would be very happy because I never clean my room. My room isnt THAT messy anyway. Some people are just too much.
Also gay flamingos are not that uncommon at all… Just like society..
A pair of gay flamingos have adopted an abandoned chick, becoming parents after being together for six years, a British conservation organisation said Monday.
(Advertisement)
Carlos and Fernando had been desperate to start a family, even chasing other flamingos from their nests to take over their eggs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) in Slimbridge near Bristol.
But their egg-sitting prowess made them the top choice for taking an unhatched egg under their wings when one of the Greater Flamingo nests was abandoned.
The couple, together for six years, can feed chicks by producing milk in their throats.
“Fernando and Carlos are a same sex couple who have been known to steal other flamingos’ eggs by chasing them off their nest because they wanted to rear them themselves,” said WWT spokeswoman Jane Waghorn.
“They were rather good at sitting on eggs and hatching them so last week, when a nest was abandoned, it seemed like a good idea to make them surrogate parents.”
Gay flamingos are not uncommon, she added.
“If there aren’t enough females or they don’t hit it off with them, they will pair off with other males,” she said.

Hahah crazy!!!! They can adopt as many chicks as they like. No more abandoned chicks!

TGIF! lol Thank God its Friday. This week has been so tiring I cant even explain it. I even had a nap for an hour today. So the new girl that I was training is pretty hardcore. She’s already doing tickets. Thats great but her primary job is to watch for new tickets that are coming in and to answer phones. I dont know if its because she’s scared to answer phones or she’s not ready. But yeah something tells me she’d rather do the tickets than give them out.
So back to the tiring part, if I’m tired this week, chances are next week I’m going to be even more exhausted. I hope I’m in the 200 level as I’ve been in 100 the entire time last home stand. Finally saw Happy Feet in my Creative mp3/video player. It was cute. Alot of singing. I really wanna see Spider Man 3. If Topher was not in it, I dont think I would wanna see it as much as now. lol I’m a sucker for geeks. :shhh:

Finally I got a chance to go to the gym today. I havent gone in 2 weeks. I hate being inconsistent when it comes to going to the gym. Normally I got twice a week (Tues & Thurs) but because I now have 2 jobs, I couldnt come. So I went today and I’ll be going tomorrow as well. I was surprise though that there wasnt alot of people. But that’s good though. Normally during Tues & Thursday, there’s alot of people and it smells like sweat. Thats why I work out in the ladies section because at least it doesnt smell as much lol. :no: It felt so damn good to sweat. I gained like 6 lbs since not going to the gym. It’s ridiculous. I cant believe I gained that much. Gluttony stinks. I went to 2 restaurants yesterday which mightve been one of the reasons. So I’ll have to cut that down.
I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow for the week. Have to buy apples and lunch for the week. And maybe slippers since it’s practically summer weather here in TO.
Alright so I need members in my button exchange that I’ve been running for more than 3 years now. I’ve moved it to my domain and the internet doesnt know it so it needs mad members. I’ve sent a mass email to current members to change the links and chances are they wont change it so yeah. So click below:

I havent worked out in a week until tonight. I’m so happy I did. Finally got a chance to do some weights and do the whole treadmill thing. I’m so proud of myself considering how I never work out. Then when I left it started snowing. Apparently we’ll be getting 90 cm of snow. That means alot of people will be late tomorrow because of the snow and the fact that everyone will be driving so slow. So tomorrow is Val Day. Normally I’d get all bitter about it but not this year. I had a chance to have a Valentine and I turned it down for good reasons. Yeah so this year will be the same as any old Valentines Day but the only difference is.. I wont be bitter about it. :grin: So to all those people who have Valentines Day dates, have fun!

While everyone is off buying Vista for their (new) desktops, I installed a secondary hard drive on my machine and loaded Ubuntu Dapper on it. Yes, I decided to move away from the Vista-hype and install linux. I was a bit nervous on connecting the secondary hard drive only because I’ve heard stories that people’s data on the primary hard drive just poofed away! lol Meaning disappeared maybe because they screwed something up. So thankfully mine is still intact. No data loss. No stress. Mind you I did back up my data in case I did lose my Windows XP and also made a Windows XP cd just in case I end up not having any operating system. The downside to linux is the major configuration that I have so that my hardware works. For example, my webcam doesnt work in linux. :irked: Viewing avi videos doesnt work either. :mad: Sucks.. Well I guess I will have to do the multimedia part of my pc in Windows and the developing part in linux (if I want). Also does anyone know a good program to convert flv to avi or mpg?

I was off yesterday so I decided to go to the bank and open a Savings account. The interest is pretty low which I dont mind.. I just wanted to open a savings account so that in the future I have some money. I have yet to transfer some funds from Chequing to Savings. I am still unsure how much I want to transfer. Then later on I went to buy some movies. These are unfortunately bootleg movies that they were selling for 7 movies for $20. I questioned the quality of the movies. You know that saying ‘You get what you pay for..’ surely that happened. I ended up buying The Good Shepherd, The Covenant, The Illusionist, The Holiday, Brokeback Mountain and Night at the Museum. I have not seen Brokeback and Night. But the rest were okay. Good Shepherd was the that had closed to good quality in both audio and video. The Covenant was an utter disappointment since there was green bars on the top and bottom. In The Illusionist the audio was horrible. But like I said, you get what you paid for. I also saw ‘The Alpha Dog’ which is not yet out in theaters and already a bootleg is out there somewhere. Thankfully I dont live close to the place where I bought it since I would buy bad quality movies all the time…

So the Olympus and I were not meant to be together.. But rather my new 17 inch LCD LG monitor and I are meant to be together. I bought her on Xmas eve and I received her from the mail today… ;P She’s pretty.. Although since I’m in front of the monitor almost 24/7, she is too bright.. Will have to change the brightness on her. I loved my CRT. I still love her but CRTS are too bulky.. She was my first flat monitor.. Bulky but flat.. I liked the fact that I only had to press the buttons twice to change the settings from bright to not-so bright. It had a tv, movie, and other setting. Now this one I have yet to find out… :smile:
Today work was just as boring as last Friday. No one was there. I wasnt even sure if I was suppose to show up. Literally there was only 12 people in the building.

Tomorrow and Friday will just be as boring.. :bored:

I spent the entire day trying to install Ubuntu Linux on my old IBM Aptiva 8 GB computer.. The IBM Aptiva had Windows 98 but since my bro bought a new pc, I can format it and install a new operating system. At first I was going to install Win 98 but my friend suggested to install Linux. At first he said Fedora then he said Ubuntu. He said to use the Server version which I did but there was no GUI on it.. Not very user friendly.. So I install the desktop one and now I have a linux box.. I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jump: i cant believe I formatted a computer all by myself which is something I’ve never done and install a totally differnet o/s. The only thing that drove me crazy is the partitioning.. I didnt know what I was doing so I just used the Erase entire disk partition. I dont plan on putting Windows on this one anyway. So it’s pure Linux and I just hope I wont have to redo this again. The fact that it’s such a slow pc and with so little space, it was so tedioius… But I’m glad it turned out really well. I have so much to learn about this new toy. I have yet to install so many applications for it. I am no longer scared to format desktops… unless it’s mine of course!

We’ve been really lucky here to not get any snow until this morning. When I woke up, I saw snow outside.. Fortunately, it’s not even alot of snow. It’s just a smidge where it’ll melt if you even step on it. Right so I dont know if it’ll snow tomorrow. All I know is that, I dont want snow. I dont care if it’s already December. I cant stand snow.
Anywho, I cant believe it’s already December. Then next thing you know it’ll be 2007… I still havent started my Xmas shopping. I usually do that last minute and have no problem of buying for family. I heard it will be pretty slow at work.. That should be something to look forward to. I am still getting paid so. Also I have a day off on the 22nd. It’s what they call a floater. I dont think I will be getting paid for that so I dont mind it much. As long as I can use that day, to go shopping for gifts and what not.
Nothing much to say I guess.. I have to finish some documentation for work.. Will do that tomorrow. :grin:

I bought The Sims 2 yesterday for only 10 dollars! That’s pretty damn good savings. Yes it’s not that big of a deal anymore but I saved like probably $40 if i had bought it in the store. So I installed it today in my external hard drive. I do not recommend that because it’s so slow. So I played it anyway but unfortunately it crashed on me like 3 times! :mad: Not knowing why or how. I thought it was because I installed it in the external hard drive but it was actually because of my graphics card. It’s not “good” enough for The Sims 2. I have the Radeon 7000 but the requirement is Radeon 7200 or more. Bleh. How picky can this game be? First it needs to be used if you have 3.5 GB of space or more? That’s already alot to ask for.. Then this stupid Radeon business… So now I have to update the drivers and pray that it works. But another problem came up, I need .net framework 2.0 to install the updated drivers.. So much hassle for a friggin video game. I’ll probably get tired of it just as easily as I got tired of The Sims 1. Hell I spend more on that than The Sims 2. Oh well.. I can only have such small amount of patience. If it doesnt work then oh well.

I didnt think the internet could get anymore boring.. I guess thats because I’m on the pc when I’m working and when I’m not working.. Sadly my life revolves around technology. What I would do without my pc.. I’d go and panic.. I’d go crazy.. Hell even without the internet I would go crazy…
Right so life in Toronto is still the same crap… The weather gets colder. You’d think we were at the negative values but no. We’re still in the positives but it is still cold. I dont have any bus tickets for tomorrow so I guess I’ll have to walk to the closest place to get some bus tickets… Which then gives me a reason to stop by the bakery to get those mini strawberry danish.
I really wanna watch a movie.. Any movie.. Borat maybe.. Lots of movies I wanna see but I dont even know if they are out. I forgot to mention that I purchased the Beverly Hills dvd. I’m so happy. I have only seen the first 3 episodes. I am capping them as I watch long. I love it. Then I hope by Xmas I’ll buy the Melrose Place DVD. That show was pretty good in a trashy sorta way. Then they cancelled it then a few weeks later, they cancelled BH. That was pretty sad.. Then now I barely even watch the telly. There are no shows out there that can replace BH. The OC is not even close… Yes the first season was supposedly good. I havent seen it but really.. They’re gonna cancel that show that they cant even compare that to BH. Basically the only shows I watch is Lost and ANTM. Even Lost wont last forever. Hell they keep dragging on the stories, people will be tired of watching and not getting answers… :slant:

Alright so I just recently found out how to set the timer in the vcr. We’ve had this vcr for maybe 4 years or more and I just found out how to set the timer. Sad I know. But yeah so I have become this crazy 90210 addict since I use to watch it during the summer. Since I have to work, I just set the timer and watch it when I get home. I am too obsessed with that show. If Mr. Spelling had released the dvds, I never would have to work this hard to tape the show every day. Think of how much $$ he would gain if he had released Melrose Place and 90210 in DVD. Too bad… Yes I know the first season is out on Amazon but really, I dont wanna have to buy each season separately. I want the Box set.
Speaking of which I’m still waiting for my Sex and the City Season 6 part 1 dvd through ebay. I also a webcam with a mic since I was all depressed a few days ago. All and all, it was because someone had recently betrayed me. If there’s one thing I hate the most, it’s lying. I hate being lied to. I consider myself a very outspoken person to some people. I’m also being honest. So I say what’s on my mind. If I dont want to date a guy, I’ll tell him. But this guy was just a jerk. He lied to me and I was not happy with it. Thats basically the jist of what the entry below is about. :slant:

I’ve been so damn busy this whole week with my full time job and this seasonal job for the Jays. I’m exhausted every night and I’m still not used to this waking up to 7 am routine.. I dont know how long it will take me to get used to it but I am still getting drives from my mom every morning (weekdays) since I cant wake up early enough to take the bus.
So tomorrow I have a day off from the Jays then on Friday I have a day off from my full time job. If only they were on the same day, I would be a happy camper but a day off is a day off. I shouldnt complain. :wink: So Friday, I get to see some of my buddies from Ryehigh. I havent seen them since the last day of school back in April. So that should be interesting. Tomorrow I am off to exchange the cellphone that I purchased and I wanna get a new one where I can actually hear the other person on the other line. With this phone I was constantly going, ‘I cant hear you!!!’ lol. :rude: Right so I will pay extra just to get a phone that suits me..
Tomorrow that is…

It’s not as great as the way my mom mixes the mashed potato mix but it’s good as long as I didnt die after eating it. I finished them all to myself since I do really love mashed potatoes.. I also made the gravy. :smile: Photos are below:

I’ve been doing alot of reading lately from The Da Vinci Code to that book that I found in the subway. So I wanted to return Always and Forever by Cathy Kelly to the library today. But when I got there, the library was closed!!! :mad: There was a note on the door stating that the library will be closed because there’s no electricity. Also the drop off box will be closed. Just because theres no electricity that doesnt mean you gotta close the drop off box???!!! It’s just a slot where you put your books… I dont get it.. So that was disappointing..
As for those who are wondering why Fathers day was last weekend. I’m in Canada so Fathers day here was last weekend… ;P

I’m not sure whats wrong with me but everytime I eat a meal, I have chocolate cravings.. Thats not good.. I dont want to eat chocolate after every meal that would just result in me gaining like 20 lbs in the summer…
Its like I’ll think of whatever we have in the house thats chocolate. For example, I had coco puffs for lunch today.. I dont normally eat cereal but this is the only one I can stand.. And for lunch too!! :ashamed: It’s Toblerone’s fault. It’s not my fault I’m always wanting one.. It’s only 65 cents in the Dollar store near my house! That doesnt help..

Yes I will actually try to do some sit ups and what not.. :embarass: Anything to get rid of a few inches off my belly.. I heard that if you write it everyday, believe in it and actually try to achieve whatever youve written in the paper, it is 40% more likely to happen.. 40% chances of losing some inches off my belly is better than 0%.
So finally I went to the mall and exchanged that tshirt that I purchased 2 days ago from H&M. Luckily they had the large size shirt that I had wanted. Also stopped by to eat the chicken wrap from Tim Hortons which by the way isnt as good as they advertise it on TV. It’s just the same chicken from their chicken sandwich except in a wrap… :irked: How disappointing. Also bought a cd case booklet, glow in the dark star stickers and post it’s with design.. Right I’ve always wanted to see the starts at night but since I live in the city, we dont see that. So the glow in the dark star stickers stuck on my ceiling will just have to do.. I havent finished sticking them up yet but they are looking so damn cool. Yeah so when I sleep at night (or trying to sleep at night) I’ll be looking at the stars!
Yes I have no life I know.. Oh well. My sister loves looking at it though. :smile:

Right so I am in pain right now.. My legs are hurting that everytime I walk or sit or go up and down stairs, I am in pain. I’m already slow at walking and this is also causing me to be even slower.. :sad: Today will be very painful considering how a huge part of my job in Blue Jays is going up and down a flight of stairs. If my supervisor puts me in 500 level, I wont be able to go up the stairs.. Even if I do, it will be so useless… Right so we’ll see what happens. If I have to do alot of walking up and down the stairs, I’m afraid that my legs will be even worse tomorrow that I’ll miss this stats quiz that I so (sarcasm) want to take… :embarass: Anyway I should post more later.. If more things happen at work..

So I went to Futureshop today to look for a calculator that converts decimal to binary and vice versa. I need it for tomorrow since I have this test. I go around the store for 5-10 minutes looking for a section for calculators. Futureshop (aka Best Buy) has all these sections for digital cameras, PDA’s, mp3 players and computers but they have to section for calculators.. :slant: Finally I find a little section right next to gadgets for PDA’s where they have 2 kinds of calculators.. Thats it! Just 2 kinds of calculators!!! They have the graphing calculator and the general one (not even a scientific one)! :eek: It’s like calculators are slowly becoming extinct because of technology these days. I didnt end up buying one since I dont need a graphing calculator and a boring general one. I have that in my bag. I need one that will convert binary for me… :irked: I was not amused. Futureshop has everything else but not one scientific calculator.. It’s bogus..

The one thing that I hate about moving to a new house is the mails that take forever to get here. I’m talking about the mails that I get from Toronto Blue Jays… I took the advice of my supervisor when last year on how to let them know of a new address change. I took her advice, called the phone number and left a little message. I thought they got it ok since I didnt hear back from them about any conflicts. They didnt change my address.. They keep sending my mail to my old house. Luckily, the post office forwards the address to my new address.. The only bad thing is.. It takes forever.. Mail that is sent in December, I only got them this month. :mad: So mail that I got about going back this season as an Usher, I just got them a few days ago.. They want to hear back from me by January 31st… :sowhat: So that means, I have to go tomorrow to Rogers Center and send them all the files that I signed so that they can process it.. It wouldve been nice if I had received the letter weeks before the 31st.. If I got the letter in February, they would think that I didnt want to come back when I did.
On the brighter side of things, I caught up with my homework in assembly language.. All I have to do is do Stats.. Not a big fan of stats.. :bored:

Spam is slowly increasing in this site… I’m getting comments from various inappropriate places.. :devil: Right so now that the domain is up, I had to back up my files. My last back up was last year November.. I really should regularly back up this site in case something happens..
Anyway speaking of backing up and computers, I was thinking of buying a hard drive.. Internal or external??? I’m thinking external since I dont know how to install internal hard drives. Even if I try, I’m rather worried that I do something wrong and I end up not having a computer… Not a very good thing for a CS student… I have no $ though so I cant exactly buy this new hard drive.. But I’m so tempted which is bad since sometimes I tend to be an impulse shopper.. That didnt work for me last time.. Last time I was an impulse shopper was when I bought my DVD Burner which I didnt know only works for region 1 DVD’s… :irked:

Last Saturday I went to Canada’s Wonderland with 2 of my friends. It’s basically an amusement park. The biggest one in Ontario and maybe in Canada as well. I havent been there since I was probably early highschool years. Normally I wouldnt go on the rollercoasters that go upside down but since I’m now over 18.. (I didnt want to go on upside down rollercoasters before until I turn 18) I figured I could/can go on those scary rides. I didnt get a chance to go on all of them since they line ups were taking forever especially for the new rides. Finally my last ride was a roller coaster with double loops and crazy turns and what not. They called it ‘Dragon Fyre’. After the ride, I got the most horrible stiff neck. I was in constant pain when I was going home and I am still in pain today. Thats like 2 days later!
Even turning around to look hurts. I cant move my head up and down because it’ll hurt. Getting up from my bed is a hassle since it kills. I havent had a good nights sleep because of it. Turning around the bed is one of the worsts. Any sudden movement causes my neck to hurt. So today I have a doctor’s appointment and I hope he does an X-Ray on my neck and hopefully he gives me some major pain killers. I really want to have this thing fixed by Friday since I’ll be working then. :weeping:

I can’t believe it’s already August. In a few weeks, I’m going to be ranting about school again. Also in few weeks, I’ll be dealing with major financial issues and paying for tuition. How depressing. :slant: Right so it turns out that the other computer is getting older by the minute like REAL old. The damn thing runs on Windows 98!!!
I can’t believe it myself either. I tried printing an email from it since the printer is attached in that computer and it definitely took forever. I do need a printer for this computer I’m using right now. My beef with printers is the fact that cartridges/inks are so damn expensive. :mad: They run out so easily. Plus I dont have room to place a printer in my room.
I want to post this video that I got of my sister dancing. The video has no sound on it but oh well. Please take note that I’m showing you my messy house so please do not judge. :embarass: It’s messy because Denise (the baby dancing aka my sister) throws her toys all over the place. The movie is a small file so I dont think it will took forever to download. You need Quicktime to view it. :flow:

You know what sucks. James Marsters of Buffy will be coming in Toronto for the SFC in the Metro Toronto Convention center which happens to be like less than a minute away from my work. Being a Buffy fan, I really wanted to go and see him and maybe get his autograph and maybe take his photos or something. Then I check Ticketmaster and see the bloody price is $200.
I cant afford that. The event starts at 10 am and I have to be at work at 2 pm but how do I know that there wont be a long ass line up if I leave my house at 8 am. I know that there will be loads of Spike fans who will be coming. Plus $200! I dont know. I can only cry and hope that he’ll be there to watch the Baseball game but I highly doubt that. The Sunday event with him is cheaper though but not as much events. Then again, I have work. :weeping:

So I played Poker for the first time tonight during my friends birthday party. I usually watch the game in tv (World Poker Tournament) and it is really interesting. Anyway knowing how I’ve never played with people, I knew I would suck and yes I did. :???: Then it came down to 3 people including me and when everyone got tired of playing they all decided to bet everything in. And guess who won?! ME!!!!!
I didnt know even know that I won but they showed me that I got a flush so yay!!!! I beat those who had more chips than me. Now I want to play some more. I’m really bad at bluffing though. I cant bluff for crap plus I’m scared to bid too high. Whenever I have good cards, I dont bid too high. :irked: There goes my strategy. Thats all my blog right now. I guess. :smile:

I havent blogged in a while. Thats because nothing much is going on with my so-called social life and what not. Anyway today was again one of those weird days at work. The gossip going around has been a little crazy. The rumor is that one of the ushers slept with 2 baseball players: 1 from Tampa Bay & 1 from Boston Red Sox. For baseball fans out there, sorry but I dont know which ones. We finally found out who it was though and we were surprised since she doesnt look like the type. She doesnt look like the groupie type, I mean. :???: My coworker really wanted to ask her if she did that but she didnt. I just feel bad for her since gossips spread like fire at work. Nobody can keep their mouth shut even me. I’m blabbing it in here already. :slant:
So yeah, I think I’m going to hell. These fans were talking to me about God and the life after death. They were hardcore Christians who preach people about God. They were asking me whether I’m ready about the judgement day and how everybody will be judged after they die. :hot: One of them were saying how even though a person hasnt physically killed a person, if they thought of some hate towards their brothers or sisters, thats just like killing their heart. Anyway I told them that I do believe in God and that I’m Catholic and went to an all girls highschool but I dont have the time to worry about the future. They ask why and all I said is how can I think about the future when I cant even handle the present? They really made me uncomfortable just standing their listening to them. One of them told me to read the bible- the book of James to be exact. :look: I dont know. I probably might go to hell now since I shrugged them off.

Alright I might have to get a new cell phone. :sowhat: I really dont want to since I like being on pre-paid. I dont use the phone alot which is great and I hate getting monthly bills which is why I chose pre-paid. But I lost the charger so yeah. I cant use it since it’s low in battery… :sad: When it dies down, so will the minutes and then I’ll lose my phone for good. I also love the phone number. It’s so damn easy. I dont want to get a new phone since I would have to sign for a contract for 3 years and thats 3 years of monthly bills over $50. :weeping: I cant even pay for my tuition let alone a damn cellphone. Worse comes to worse, I wont get a cell phone at all and just rely on old school payphones… I dont mind that. Unless somebody wants to send me their used cell phone. :sad:

Im tired and I just got home from the game/work. For those who dont follow the MLB, we lost to the Yankees last night and tonight. Last nights score was pathetic (11 – 2) and tonight was still said ( 4 -3) but not as bad as last nights… I just wish that tomorrow we’ll beat Baltimore’s ass. ;P I never would have thought of liking baseball and actually follow their standings. I still havent seen any of them. Ive seen some Bosox and Yankee players walking around the stadium before the game. Last night I saw Jeter and Alex Rodriguez and tonight saw Hideki Matsui. Unfortunately we arent allowed to converse with them. If they say hi, we can say hi back and thats it. Let me tell you thought, Jeter in person is kinda cute… Too bad everyone hates him…. I still have the hots for Alex Rois of Blue Jays. He’s only 23… :cupid: Oh yeah the first pitch was done by Liam Aiken the actor that plays Klaus of A Series of Unfortunate Events.. He’s so cute too.

Alright so I had a little scare tonight. To others this may sound real dumb but a power failure caused my computer’s hard drive to go all screwy on me. This means, when I turned the computer on again, it had an error ‘Failure to boot. Insert System Disk and press Enter’.
Of course, I freaked out since I didnt create a System Disk. I restared and rebooted the damn thing a million times and still it gave me that problem. I had called my cousin about it and said that he would help me out in a few minutes. So I just shut off the switch at the back. Unplugged the damn thing and restarted. Low and behold, Windows XP is running with that green bar going back and forth. :grin: Then it worked… I’m absolutely frazzled and happy it. Dont ask me what frazzled means. I just made it up. :embarass: Right so now I created a System Disk so next time this happens I dont freak out and cry…
And for those who are asking for the job, I’m an usher at a baseball game. The pay is $10. :grin:

Ugh it’s so freaking cold out there. -32 Celsius in here in Toronto. That would be 89.6 Fahrenheit for the Americain’s out there. I had to take the bus to and from work today and as soon as I was inside whether in the mall or at home, my face was as red as an apple. :rosiecheeks I hate winters. I dont mind so much about the snow, which we dont have right now but I do mind the real cold weather. Not to mention the fact that I havent finished my Christmas shopping…:slant I’m such a procrastinator as I’m sure alot of you are! lol :lol2

I cannot wait for these 2 movies to come out. I’m such a sucker for Horror flicks. The first one is called Devil’s Rejects and the 2nd is High Tension. The 2nd has this Freddy/Jason theme going on so I dont think it will be that scary. The first one is made by Rob Zombie which is a plus. If you go to this site and click on Dissection, there’s a list of horror/gore movies that I must see but dont know where to get because they arent Hollywood type horror flicks… I must search somewhere on how to get a hold of them.
That’s it just another random rant.

You know you are getting fat when all of a sudden you have an ass. I didnt have an ass before. It was flat. I didnt really care that I had no ass. Today while walking to work, I was looking at the mirror as I was passing by them. I thought to myself ‘Hey! That girl has an ass. ‘ That girl was me (of course). Either I have an ass or my pants just shrunk…. I really dont know. Either way its good and bad. Bad because I’ve gained weight and good because I have an ass. I dont even wear tight pants so whats the damn use of having an ass? Hopefully it doesnt get too big…
Ever heard of this site?

Alright so I should be in class right this minute but I’m waiting for my bid on Ebay to finish up in 20 minutes! Evil Ebay!!! I’ll just ask my friends for the notes on Monday. Aside from that I just finished one formal lab last night and now I have to worry about my Assignment 3 for math and an essay for Philosophy.
I saw the guy that works in the Registration office today. I didnt even realize it was him until I looked up a little and saw his cute curly hair. Guess what he was wearing? A business suit!!! Hotness! I believe that any guy in a suit is hot except for the old men who wears a suit. So if you put a hot guy in a suit then he’s even hotter!! Yummy.. lol. So if you are an ugly guy, wear a suit then maybe you’ll get some for a change. lol. I’m evil I know.
