Rachie's

Hello~

I went to Rachie's yesterday. Kosa drove me, Charlie, Jae and Becca. It didn't take as long as I thought it would to get there. Also, her place is really nice! Even though it's in the middle of nowhere, it's right beside a Walmart, so it's actually pretty convenient. Haha, there were corn fields everywhere on the way there!

We ended up staying over so it was a little cramped, we squeezed like six people in Rachel's room and everyone else stayed in the living room. The hot pot was yummy~ even though it was mostly meat, lol, I really can't cook chicken! I ate like three semi-cooked pieces so I'm very grateful I didn't get indigestion as a result afterwards.

Kk, I'm off~
I'll write more tmrw!
P.s - The kittens were love!!! Link is my favourite one!

Lee's Update

Hello~

Okay, so I know I'm totally guilty of not blogging for the LONGEST time. However, I believe that... -_-; Fine. I have no excuse.
Hehe, my apologies Becca!!!

Hm, how have I been lately? Not bad, I suppose. Living in Toronto again was difficult, I recall me and Jae getting into several fights, but we're better now. We're pretty good at working things out <3 and that makes me really happy. I know we fight over stupid things, but somehow I guess we manage to pull through. I love you~

Some events that have passed...
Anime North 2010
Canada Day
8+9th Anniversary

Haha, I cannot believe I didn't post an entry for AN. I feel like my life is just passing by though, and I don't have time to document it!!!

I will try to get back into the habit of blogging :)
Check back to hear from me soon! <3

I hate this part

Hello to whomever reads this!

Haha... I hate the fact that i've been forgetting all about the blog. It's summer, can you blame me? There just isn't a Lee behind me to tell me that I need to post!

So here's a quick update post:
- Had a job
- Quit that job
- Have another job
- Want more hours so looking for a second job

How awesome is that?

Something interesting happened to me today though; which is what is pushing me towards posting something today. About 2 weeks ago I walked into a Caffe Demetre because outside it said that they were hiring. Had an interview and the manager said that they liked me but had to make sure I can serve alcohol at 18. So I called back today because I hadn't heard back from him.

"Hi, my name's Rebecca Lam. Can I speak to the manager please?"

"Speaking"

"I came in about 2 weeks ago and you said you had to look up if I could serve alcohol at 18..."

"We don't serve alcohol here"

"This is the Eglinton location right?"

"Yes"

"I talked to this east-indian man..."

"I'm sorry but I don't know who you're talking about"


... What the?!

Who did I talk to?!

So confused...

Manatoulin Island

“Let’s go” he whispered devilishly as he pressed down on the gas and then she shrieked laughingly as he sped on the highway into the night.

At least that’s what I recalled as I was falling asleep.

It’s currently the night of the first day here on Manatoulin island. An island in lake Huron. My mom and I are staying at Jeorg’s parent’s place on the island. There are 3 cabins in which we are staying in one (with a sauna we are yet to try.) We arrived late last night (something like 4am) and are staying until Monday… I don’t know exactly yet but I’m hoping early because I want to find some people and do something. Not that I’m not enjoying myself here.

I slept with baxter in my room last night and it was really quite difficult to fall asleep because firstly: I slept for most of the 6 hour car ride… except for the times we stopped at Tim Horton’s when I was awake for a minute or two… as well as Baxter howling once in a while about something… /:

Woke up hours later than my mom and walked to the main cottage and had a delightful breakfast with Mrs. H who made me some scrambled eggs. (: had some homemade toasted dark bread with some homemade black currant jam… to die for!

Other than touring around the area: garden, beach, and general wide open; beautiful forested space there was just talking alllllll day. I was a bit timid earlier on today in front of Mr. and Mrs. H but I’ve opened up to them more as well as their amazing daschund Blackie! I love her! <3 Over dinner Mr. and Mrs. H were talking about a friend? Of theirs that has this wonderful relationship with her partner. Just listening about how they are mature in their relationship has opened my eyes.

It’s not that late but I’m tired, I’m going to head off to bed. I hope there aren’t too many bugs tonight lol.

Night!

Finale

Don’t you just love airplane rides when you’re sick?

Stuffy nose,
Crying babies,
No headphones,
Lack of internet access,
And times when you just can’t sleep?

Right…

I’m currently typing this up in word on the plane ride back to … Montreal and then to Toronto but that’s not the point. The point is that my lovely vacation to Paris has ended and I’m being shipped back to Canada for some job searching. >: Now I know I haven’t been posting too much, it’s just cause I’m so tired when we get back to the apartment at the end of the day I just tend to forget about it. So I’m just going to start from where I left off last.

Versailles:
- Beautiful!
- Our sandwiches got confiscated
- Bummed my leg early on
The Louvre

L’ami jean
- Veal cheeks!
- Rice pudding!
Shopping

Cordon Bleu
- Market walk

- Cooking demonstration
- Just plain awesome.
L’Epi Dupain
- Last dinner!
- Sores… ):

I don’t think I’m forgetting anything? How about I blab about today?

Today was a bunch of last minute packing, not that we didn’t pack yesterday but just a few little things. Mommy and I took the RER while both of my aunts took a taxi. My luggage got stuck in between one of the doors where they take the tickets and two guys had to help pull the doors open to save my luggage! I hope nothing got crushed in there. Because we woke up early I was dead tired through check-in at the airport and well, tried to take a nap in here but with not very good luck. So here I am typing up this… I’ll continue once I get back home or something. We have to rush to the plane in Montreal to Toronto when we land.

Sunny with a Chance of Freezing Cold!

Bleh,

Today I woke up exhausted cause I just couldn't go to sleep. But this morning we got some great croissants and pain du chocolat from Poilane just down the street. Window shopped a bit and went on our way to the Notre Dame Cathedral... It was FREEZING and windy and cold and sad. >: It was very nice inside and we ended up going up the tower... more stairs.

We had sandwiches in the square in front of the cathedral and some pigeons got so close because of some tourist throwing bread at them. This one poor one had a deformed foot. ): We then ventured our way to Sainte-Chapelle which was a church from the medieval times with some beautiful windows. (:

On our way home I bought some shoes and some souvenirs for people. I'm looking for a skirt and another pair of shoes maybe? <3

My aunties and mommy are having a tad of trouble with the t.v. I wonder if I can get it to work.

MD'O & E.T

Musee D'Orsay and Effiel tower yesterday.

Crowded art museum.

Nancy, Mommy and I walked up the whole thing. Very tiring. >:

Had udon for dinner.

Beat a boss in Super Mario?!

Couldn't sleep well.

That's all I can think of... But so many things are closed on Sunday around here...

Paris, Un Jour

Hola!

Wrong language... 'Bonjour' Guess where I am? Finally in Paris, i'm currently in my first evening. Let's start from the beginning shall we?:

My Mom, Aunt (Auntie Nancy) and I got to Pearson 3 hours before the flight thinking that we would need to be there much earlier thinking that it was international. Were we wrong! We ended up waiting for those 2 hours! Our first flight was to Montreal and then we were booked for a flight to Paris. It took just over a hour to get to Montreal from Toronto and we had a hour and a half to wait. Hit the duty free store and I saw this Guess bag, 25% off and no taxes was so tempting. I restrained myself so there would be more money for Paris. (:

The flight to Paris was okay (7 hours!). I tried to sleep through the whole thing because we were set to arrive at 8:30am local Paris time. I ended up waking up every hour... I was exhausted when I got there! Mom had an incident where she took the wrong luggage! "Why is there muffin mix in here?" Good thing we were able to bring it back inside and get her rightful luggage. (:

My other aunt (Auntie Susan) rented an apartment instead of a hotel so that's where we're going to staying at for the next week (Right by Saint-Germain des Pres metro station)! It was scary going into the building because the entrance isn't well lit and it was cold as well as damp. We sent my Mom to go check it out ahead while I waited with Auntie Nancy, we are such wimps. The staircase is very cramped and it was a toughie getting up with the luggage! Thank goodness Pete was able to help us up the stairs. But once you get through the door it was very open! You can look up and we could see the blue sky, and it's just a short walk to another door to the entrance to the actual apartment.

The whole lot of us then went to lunch to Les Comproits. Had to wait for service... a hour? The hostess really didn't want to sit us. >: I had... fish with olive oil and pesto! ... could've done it myself (; Mommy did have Fois Gras though and it was... yummy in the tummy. Veryveryvery rich though... goodness gracious. I was asked if I wanted to have wine. The thing is that I didn't want to have my first sips in the middle of the day just in case something... incriminating happens...

Mommy, Nancy, and I went to the Arc de Triomphe by accident instead of the Eiffel Tower. We then went down Avenue de Champs-Elysees and tried to do some shopping but failed miserably. ): We were still so tired! Instead we went back to the apartment to take a nap. I woke up to the smell of stew. It smelt so delicious. It was very good. Fish, potatos, butter, mushrooms, tomatos, olive oil... For dessert there was some meringue (chocolate, pistachio...) and some of the best rice pudding. (I'll ask where it was from in a second) Chez L' Ami Jean. O:

I now have a task to sketch a dead king for some euros from Pete. (: Learning the instructions on how to get there now. (At least Auntie Susan is)

I don't think we're going to do anything tonight really so, until tomorrow evening!

Oh man, the 6 hours time difference is getting to me again. Until I get my 1000th wind! (:

Lovelove,

Rebecca

Lack of posts.

Hola,

I''m supposed to be packing for my trip tomorrow but i'm being... lazy?

Well, short update. I have done nothing but look for job but no luck. >:

Here's to me surviving the flight!

Graffiti on the Desk

Heyy,

Right now i'm sitting in the DC library at school. I was hoping that it would be quieter than it is right now but beggars can't be choosers right? I'm currently taking a little break from my CS studying... and somehow I started staring at the desk; it has graffiti all over it. From complaining about courses, the university filled with asians, nerds, smelly students, korean writing, and people declaring their love for people... there's even one saying that they love David Beckham. It made me wonder at what point does someone love someone else?

Sure, people generally love their families and friends but what I mean is at what point in time does someone love someone else as well... lovers? Okay, from what I gather from movies in such is that a person is in love when they cannot imagine life without the other. Haha, and that's when the main character goes running off to the one they 'love'. Now that that person has fallen in love, what keeps this love alive and kicking? Where are the boundaries of love? After proclaiming such love... what happens when it just disappears? Can it just disappear?! What are the signs of someone out of love? Is there a fence between love and like...? The whole idea seems a little bit daunting. I know this is being a bit pessimistic but is it bad for me the believe that the people my age don't know what love is... they are all lying to themselves without knowing? I can't cast judgement because I don't know, but that's what I believe.

I also don't like it when people become so dependent on their partners... I find it a tad pathetic. Although I do admit it has happened to me before. So once someone gets so dependent on the other, and something bad happens between them, it just becomes weird. I mean in general they need support to get through 'it'. But me being me I don't like going to people about these things so I end up suffering by myself for a couple of days haha... But for people to take weeks of time to get out of their funk, ugh it bothers me. It hurts me to see people like that so please do not become so dependent on your partner! It is probably not good for you. Sure, you depend on your partner but there should be a limit.

Sorry i'm harsh... /: This is all my opinion and I am open to other's opinions... Don't hate me please. >:

Back to studying!

Time to get cracking

Heyy,

The long weekend is over and I just ended up spending it at home alone... except for the cutie poochies. (: Over the weekend I did a mix of studying, working on assignments, feeding and watering the dogs, and spending time with the family. At least one half of it. I miss the other half, haven't seen them in a long time.

Nothing really to say lately I apologize. There just isn't anything interesting in Waterloo... hahaha.

But i'll be back living in Toronto in just over a week. Can't wait! (I'm not really looking forward to the packing and lifting of everything though.)

- Rebecca

So very Tired

I was initially planning to go to sleep at 2am because lately I haven't been able to get to sleep on time and have gained such an awful habit. Turns out I want to bed at 4am and had class to be at for 10am. How great.

There's just so much to do, and i'm just so nervous for so many things: for example, if I fail my CS100 final I fail the whole course and my exam taking skills are not exactly up to par...

I can't find much to say really... i'm just exhausted and want this to be over.

Waiting at the Tea Shop

Hii,

At this very second I’m sitting in the tea shop right across from my residence waiting for my friend Kathy to notice me here. It’s kind of busy so I don’t really blame her… that and she’s working in the kitchen. Why am I waiting for her do you ask? I’m waiting so we can work on some ARBUS, I was looking over her work and there’s something that’s bothering me really. Blah! It’s cold by the door. ): I also tried wearing heels out today and lol, it’s not that pretty. >3<

Sigh, as some of you may know I don’t have classes on Friday and during the weekend so it was kind of boring for the most part. I really need to get some new friends. I have been meeting people though through my Orientation Leader Training but they haven’t been sticking. Met two memorable people yesterday and I’ve been meaning to find them on facebook but you know… “No passes before classes”!!! It’s a rule I learned yesterday for orientation week… it basically means that you’re not allowed to really hit on people during the frosh week, until 8:30am Monday morning! Very detailed I know. It was exceptionally fun last training session I had “Diversity and Harassment.”

So it started at 7:00pm last night and it went until 9:30pm, I must say… it was boring for the first 2hours and 15minutes! I was dying at the back of the room just wanting to get out! We then played out scenarios to go over what we should and shouldn’t do in those situations and boy did my group get a nice one. The situation went something along the lines of this: You are alone with a first year student and they seem to be interested in you… What do you do? Being the lucky person I am I was nominated by the girls to be the 1^st year student interested in the leader. Also being lucky the cute guy was the leader. (; haha… It was so awkward trying to ‘flirt’… “So…umm… *obviously checking him out* how are you? What are you up to? So, yea, you look good in that shirt” (; hahahahaha! You had to be there to see it! I normally am horrible with standing in front of people and ‘performing’ but I got to say that I’m getting much better at not wanting to kill myself when I’m up on a stage. Proud?

I’ve been sitting here for I think an hour waiting for Kathy’s break… has she noticed me? I actually don’t think so… so I’m just going to type a bit more while I wait. Unless I get kicked out of course! Let’s hope not… *sending Kathy invisible love beams* maybe she’ll notice me now! Darn the tall-er people in the table right in front of me, maybe that’s why she can’t see me. ): *cough* I just choked on a tapioca pearl! Blegh.

Earlier today I was attempting to look for a job again. I applied to a Swiss Chalet right by my place, right behind the cemetery actually. It would be SO convenient to work there… cross your fingers for me please! Other than that it’s been a bummer looking for a job because people haven’t even replied to me, meaning that I haven’t even gotten an interview which makes me sort of depressed. Am I that incompetent? I also applied for a job here at the tea shop actually… that didn’t work out either which just kind of sucks. I don’t want to go to the grocery store for the summer… I just want to try something new! I was thinking of heading to Ottawa for the summer. Any opinions on that? I don’t know how I would do over the summer without my friends… and it’s not even promised that if I do apply to places in Ottawa that I would get a job. For some reason I really want to work at a restaurant and kind of feel what my mom went through when she was little. It’s an interesting concept I would love to try but haven’t gotten the opportunity.

Sigh… I think my toes are getting a bit numb. Ah! Why’d I get stuck with the table right by the door? Because it’s deadly busy in here. I’m starting to feel bad about just sitting here. But I’m a customer too right? I still have a…. third left in my tea.

I recently lost the cord to connect my camera baby to the computer hence the lack of pictures. >: I ordered something online and I hope mommy gets it soon… (on a side note… omg, I just saw this guy walk in with a yo-yo!) It’s a small trinket really that reads SD cards, or so it says it does. It was only a dollar so I say that if it doesn’t work out it’s not a huge loss. It’s sad that I haven’t been able to upload any pictures because I took a lot of … food of course! A couple of pictures here and there and even some of myself lol.

The end of the semester is coming up and I’m getting more and more nervous about my grades… can you really blame me? I’ve a nervous person. I have a self portrait to paint and wow… am I not ready for something like that. I’m supposed to impersonate another artist! If I like it I’ll show you a picture… once I figure out my camera of course! There is one more Computer Science assignment which is due on Monday… Arts and Business which is due in less than 2hours… (midnight tonight and I still haven’t caught Kathy’s attention)… Developmental Psychology bonus mark assignment due on Wednesday… Art History final on Thursday… Studio self portrait is also due on Thursday and just painting myself kind of puts me off and I haven’t really gotten to it yet.

Question: Why are people getting slushies when it’s freezing out?! It just doesn’t seem to make much sense to me really. I wonder if it tastes a lot better than normal tea? I’m thinking I’ll stick with my normal tea and save myself from the inevitable brain freeze. (: Darn it! More people are coming in and I swear they’re staring at me! Arghhhhh! Kathy! Save me! I love you! D: I’m debating giving up but our assignment is on the line! Ohh… the food looks good. Great work Kathy (‘: Damn, she was right there! AHHH! Kathyy! Not to be obnoxious or anything…. I want to just get up and wave my arms but that wouldn’t be very lady-like would it? The big group is leaving… now I don’t feel bad… *staring at Kathy… lovebeamslovebeams!* Give me a break would you?! D:

I’ve started packing up my stuff to bring back home. Slowly and surely I’ll get it done. But it’s getting hard to prioritize what stuff I really want to keep with me. Stuff like clothing and some random books I brought up at the beginning of the year. Some shoes that I don’t really wear, the stuff I have seems to be never ending. I really need to find a job to pay for this stuff I’m buying. ): Thinking about buying stuff, the next thing I want to buy are Lady Gaga tickets for July, but I can’t seem to get them off of ticketmaster and I’m weary of buying them from another source. The thing is that I don’t want to miss another one of her concerts. I missed her first round of the Monster Ball Tour and this is her second run. I want to see it so badly! I loved her music video for Telephone it was very interesting I must say. 1341 words as of… five words ago? I really need to get a move on. I could be doing something more productive right now? … ABBA’s playing right now in the store… haha… just got changed to some…other…song… 1-2-3-4-uno-dos-tres-quatre…blahblahblah. Sound familiar? There’s this cute little girl kicking her legs to the music… so cute.

It’s slowly slowing down… I hope my waiting will be over soon. Unless she’s on her break right now and I don’t even know it? I lost sight of her a while ago. o3o

I need to go to the bathroom soon after this huge tea (haha, and here I thought I would be bringing some home) I’m going to head home soon.

Really long post, I apologize,

Alice In Wonderland

Hey,

So this weekend started off with the Charity Ball. I went with Jae, and only Jae... which resulted in a very very boring dance. Lol, I wish I had convinced Kathy and Cindy to go. However, it did give me a chance to wear my gothic loli dress that I got over the summer. I really like it, I think I'll find an excuse to wear it on a regular basis. Anyways, since the dance felt a bit like prom :S... cept for the fact that neither of us knew anyone. So, we left early and ended up going to Marble Slab. It is so good!! I love that place :) even though Jae said the guy gave us too little, I thought it was fine. Haha.

After that, we went back to my place... hmm... and after that, we headed back to his place. And we did not sleep ;_;... I had Arbus Assignment#3 due the next day and Erika wanted the text book back by one in the afternoon... so I started this thing at like 3 and finished at 10... with a couple of distractions along the way... but other than that, I worked pretty well. Since I finished early I decided to submit it early too... but when I went home Erika tells me she has the answers~!!! Ahh, curse my luck. The only time I decide to submit it early... and this happens. I am not a lucky girl I tell you. Well, too late now, I think I got most questions right anyways? Jae didn't sleep all night either, he had to go to a Konnect retreat on the weekend, and he was responsible for a presentation which he hadn't finished. He wasn't even finished when I was... and now he's still sleep deprived... poor thing *hugs* I hope he's sleeping.

Friday, I got a ride back to Toronto with Uncle Felix. I dragged back a ton of my winter clothing, and now my room is practically naked. The walls are bare, I lack magazines, clothes, and yaoi manga. Yes, naked.

Saturday, I went to P-mall for Kosa's thing. I was not prepared for the weather I was facing. It was snowing... and cold... and windy, and I decided it was a good weekend to bring back neither a coat or a pair of pants! What is wrong with me? My gosh... I have to start checking the weather. Honestly. I think I've learned my lesson. We went to watch Alice in Wonderland after that. I quite liked it. It wasn't spectacular, and there were bits in which I found myself being bored, but the graphics were nice. The chesire cat was quite cute and I really liked the design for the red queen. I found it strangely appealing, I want to cosplay her... Haha... though I don't think I'll ever get around to it, I'll consider in my head.

There were 12 of us that went for the movie. I finally got to meet Andy, and he does not look like how I imagined. However, he seems nice and laid back, he even let me mooch his drinks ;) I have a feeling we'll get on just fine. I got to talk to Julie a bit, I'm pretty worried about her though, I keep having to hear things from a third source. *sigh* Tia told me some stuff too, and apparently Nat and Chrissy got drunk over the weekend. Why doesn't anyone tell me these things? Meh.

We went to Go For Tea, after the movie, and I sat next to Michael, Mishie and Rachie. I could hear Mishie and Rachie talking about the programs they were in, and let me tell you do I feel inadequate. They do so much... and I barely have class X3 I should be worried for myself... I really should... Blargh. I didn't get home until close to three. Thank for the ride, Michael!

Sunday... was tiring... grocery shopping... big bang theory... home.

I should pay attention to my prof. now~

The Weekend is over and the week begins

Starting from the weekend.... the weather was absolutely horrible. It made all of us (Ron, Kosa, and I ) pretty tired >: But now it's extremely warm and sunny. I have started to wear my shorts around. (: It's too bad I have a bruise on my knee from hitting corner of my door with my knee. It hurts just a tad when i'm walking around... Well the weekend in a nut shell was sleeping, eating, cooking, shopping... yea. It was fun but I wish we actually did something birthday-e for Pookie because it was his birthday on Monday.

There was a CS100 assignment due this week and my brother came up to my place two days in a row just to work on it. It wasn't even as long as previous assignments! Fed him twice though... with Apple Pie for dessert both times! Yum... I swear i'm going to get fat. ): I was thinking of starting to run but it turns out I gave my Dad some stuff two weeks ago and my work-out clothes were in there. Hahaha. I still have yet to use them. I'm also waiting for a response from my brother on whether he's going up to Toronto this weekend because I want to go, but not by buying a Greyhound ticket cause I bought a round trip just last week. Pookie's going to be celebrating his birthday this weekend by watching Alice in Wonderland so I hope I can make it!

Today i'm wearing a new shirt and my shorts again. But because of my dressing up I was a few minutes late for a psych study... But it was a brush of good fate that I missed mine because I ended up just joining a different study with a $100 gift card draw. (; Lucky day. Short, sun, and the possibility?! But that possibility may go to waste because of my general bad luck... lol *knockonwood I'm currently waiting for my class to start in the Modern Languages Building and got myself a half-coffee-half-hot-chocolate... and I put in 5 sugars. I can't really stand it otherwise lol. We'll see if my luck is superb today... i'll see if I win something with Roll up the rim to win. I won one thing out of many cups... and that was another cup of coffee.

There's a tour going on behind me lol... and the tour guide is like... if you want there's even Tim Horton's here (when he was saying this was a good place to study.) (: I like this guy already. Michelle my roommate has a lot of tours this week so i've been trying to avoid my place because it is just so awkward with people you don't know staring at what you're doing... trust me it's happened. Maybe i'll go find somewhere to sit outside i'm starting to get a tad bit bored in here... but I guess outside won't do me much better. Nothing to do! Ah!

Tonight's plans are to paint myself a portrait and work on and ARBUS assignment... yay me.

6th Month

Wow,

I have not blogged in a really long time. I'm so sorry, Becca~!! I've actually been seeing Jae a ton. We're still in our "lovey dovey" phase :) and I must say it's really nice. I'm a bit worried for Jae though, my program is a piece of cake, so spending so much time together doesnt really affect me, but him on the other hand... *sigh* I worry.

Me and Jae just passed our 6th month anniversary~! *Yay* I must say, for a while I thought we'd never get here. It wasn't even that long ago... but we've had so many complications. I'm so glad everything has worked itself out. Time fixes everything. It really does. Hehe~ my cutie is in Toronto atm, which is why I'm blogging actually. Lol, that and Kosa and Ronald are over :) and Becca is at an interview to become an Arts frosh leader.

Jae took me to sushi, it was really really quiet O.o... and the place closed at 9... and it was downtown!!! Lol, it was just really different from Toronto I guess... and on a side note, it turns out that it was only our 5th month. Lol, thanks Nat, for ruining my nicely planned out thing... I feel a bit guilty now, haha, sorry sweetie!!!

Neways,

I will try to blog regularly again!!

Look forward to it :)

Marianas Trench Concert!

Holaa,

This week has been such a pain in the butt with so many assignments and such... i'm so glad it's over... I went to Toronto yesterday for just about 17hours! I went back purely for the Marianas Trench concert at Massey Hall. I went with my friend Wilfred and we were super close!

I got some nice pics with my camera as well as some video (shh!) Wilfred got chewed out by one of the 'authorities'. He brought a camcorder with photo features but the guy thought he was taping it... and going to then sell the video at Pacific Mall! (lol I don't know but that's what we thought.)

My baby surprised me with some quality video and had loads of fun.

I'm now back in Waterloo. Woke up late (6:10am) for the bus and made Pookie and Ronald wait 30mins (sorry!) >: . But we got there 5 mins early! We have done nothing very productive today... just went grocery shopping. Kathy and Jae are coming to dinner (I love how I figure this out muchmuchmuch later than I would prefer =3=) Lee really needs to cook, cause then she can panic about feeding enough people... This happens very frequently if you can't tell. lol. Oh well... i'm scared of her cooking so it's okay.

Fill you in more later this weekend!

Paris trip and other things

Hii,

Rawrrr, so my Mommy just booked the trip to Paris! I'm getting so excited! It's for April 23rd-May1st... I can't wait...! We're going to go with two of my aunties, I hope I can stand them... hehe I joke. (: I have never been out of... this side of the world and am looking forward to seeing a brand new place! The problem is that my French skills are veryveryvery below par >: I don't think i'll last. Hopefully they understand some English over there! I wonder what the guys in France look like? (; lol! I think i'll just be taking in all the history instead thank you. My Mom scared me a bit with a story about when she went to France when she was younger. Something about... flashers.... and pick pockets. D: I hope nothing happens... If something does happen Mommy will protect me <3

I'm looking at my Psych class stuff and my professor mentioned something brand new! Turns out we can hand in a paper for 5% bonus marks... only if you do well, you either get the 5% or 0%! But adding it all together, I can receive up to 9% bonus marks! This is because the psychology department has experiments where the students can participate to gain marks, 0.5 marks for each half hour of experiments you participate in. You have to do a mix of online surveys and in building experiments. I have almost all of my credits so I will soon have 4% extra! Yay!

Painting class is going decent but this weekend I took advantage of the DC++ system and watched a ton of movies. ;_; ... so that means I have to catch up and paint like mad tonight. So I can study for Psych all of tomorrow! 3 Paintings in one night...? Ehhh? Oh goodness. >: I think i'll be awake all night tonight.

On Thursday is when the Marianas Trench concert is in Toronto with Wilfred! I have to leave Waterloo after class and go straight to Toronto. As well as go back to Waterloo the day after because my friends are coming up and sleeping over. I decided to try to catch the 7:15am bus... the morning after the concert... what am I thinking?! Getting to Waterloo earlier and sleeping on the bus lol. It's just easier that way. I think i'll be able to wake up at 5am, i've done it before... Last year when I procrastinated homework for grade 12. There is a surprisingly large amount of stuff you can accomplish in the morning. If only I can get up earlier in the mornings... I guess I just shouldn't stay up late at night hahaha.

Love-love,

Ehhh?

Hii,

I think you've noticed that we haven't been posting much lately, my apologies. It's just that not much has been happening... more projects, more due dates, which in turn makes everything much much much less interesting. >:

Hrmmm.... On Monday it's my brother's birthday and i've been seeing him a lot over the past few days. Went grocery shopping, had lunch with him once by myself, and had lunch with him once with my Daddy-Lamsky. o3o I went grocery shopping 3 times this week! *lovelovelove* hahaha.... so much food in my fridge! Nyah!

So yesterday my Daddy came up and we went for Swiss Chalet for dinner because that's where we were going to go. Grandma likes it there. (: But she didn't come up for some reason. Maybe she hates us!? D: *i'mjokingIswear!* We then went to Conestoga to get Andrew some new runners and it turns out that it was buy one get one half off, so Dad got a pair as well. I never thought I would say this: but waiting for my Dad and Brother try on shoes is so boring... I feel their pain! Ahh!

So I got home with some newly bought groceries and noticed someone had drunk some of my milk! They left a carton with 3 drops left! The bastard! D:<>

I'm listening to some Metric because I got their albums and now I have to start painting because I procrastinated just a tad.... Love you! >:

Mommy visiting

Heyy,

I recently texted my mom telling her I missed her and she was "Did you want me to come up?" ... Awwwwwww! I love her! So she did, on Sunday for lunch with my sister. She brought me some food I forgot to bring up last week: cream cheese and spicy tuna (awesome awesome awesome!), and we went grocery shopping to! I love how this all revolves around foods. (:

We went to eat at ... Oliver and Bonacini at Conestoga mall for this 3 course meal... I'm drooling just thinking about it now! (Pictures with descriptions later) (Note to self: get a bigger screen whenever posting pics lol)

• Shrimp Pate
• Tortilla salad (Iceberg lettuce, black beans, avocado...)
• Mushroom soup
• Fish and Chips
• Hungarian Goulash
• Mushroom pasta
• Coffee cake with Apple?
• Toffee cake

Nomnomnomnom. Yummy. (:

There has been a lot of stress lately with major declaration and such, but the stress is mostly over! I had to hand in my portfolio on Friday and had to wait to see if I could major in Fine Arts Studio yesterday. I had to find my student number on a list. I didn't see it the first time and was so depressed but looked again just in case and found it! Thank goodness! I'm trying to achieve a Teaching Preparation Specialization as well as a Digital Arts Communication Specialization. My schedule is going to be jammed packed and I have to make sure I don't mess up ANYWHERE! Here comes the stress again... ehhhh.... The problem is that I don't think I can handle so much art history, today we watched a silent, black and white film in a whole-nother language... I don't even know what language it's in. It is though, pretty interesting for the most part. It was about... ships and then there's like... uproars and stuff. Did you know that back then there were such things as headshots?! The hero got head-shotted and I was stunned! I could just imagine someone in the background "HEADSHOOOOTTTT" I have no life, honestly.

Rawrr... a new revelation: caffeine has hardly any effect on me (at least when it comes to coffee) because I was falling asleep during that film heh.... ):

Oh! This morning someone came in to fix some stuff in our place, the sink was broken for the longest time and supposedly they fixed the thermostat? My room has been a sauna for the past few months even with the window open 24/7 with all the cold winter air coming through. Hope it was fixed properly so I can sleep in peace. (:

Until next time,

- Rebecca

Major Declaration

Hi~

So, today has been my most productive day all week. Maybe all month? Wednesdays always make me feel productive because I wake up early for Korean class. The class in which I have a mid term next week by the way... unfortunately it's also the class in which I've also been slacking off. I suddenly realized today that if I don't start studying, I'm fairly screwed. Korean is not easy to learn... having a Korean boyfriend doesn't help as much as I thought it would. Uh jae, O neul, Nae il~ Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow~

I better study hard~! I have two exams on Friday and one assignment due on Monday and another mid-term on Wednesday. Fun fun. My birthday is coming up soon :) in exactly four days~ Am I excited? No... not really -_-; I'm too worried about mid-terms.

I went to my major seminar today. There was such a small number of people. It was pretty entertaining though (the number of people, not the seminar), lol, and I got to meet my future roommate. Based on a first impression, I really like her :) She seems nice and interesting and possibly an anime fan. Ahh~ I don't want to think about next year ;_; there are too many things to consider... specializations left and right.

Neways, this is more of a "general update" post, so it will be short and sweet. Not to mention that I'm in class. Arbus makes me sad.

I'm off~

Back to Waterloo

School is back! Yay! Waterloo, how I have missed you. Seriously, being home was fun and all but I missed being by myself as weird as that may sound.

The first order of business when I got back was to go grocery shopping! Man, I love grocery stores... (as long as I don't have to work in them haha) Most of the time they're clean and it just feels great to be there. So much variety and it's so much fun to think up of what you're going to eat over the next week. Interesting thing I saw at the grocery store was the amount of variety of sausages - not to sounds gross or anything, hahahaha. There was PC Brand: Hoisin, Piri-piri, Tandoori, Oktoberfest, Italian and of course Original. I mean, who thinks of Hoisin flavoured sausages?! Genius I say.

Yesterday I went over to Kathy's to make some dumplings. It was fun! I made a couple in interesting shapes. I attempted a fish but it ended up looking like a squid. I have a picture that I'll upload later. But it's cute, I promise.

For the whole Reading Week I woke up at 8:30 am or earlier because I had the chore of walking the dog when I was back home. Or earlier because my sister had school and I was in the same room as her and her alarm always woke me up. ): It effected my sleeping habits back here because for the past two days I woke up at 9:30am exactly! Creepy right? I seems like i'm getting more sleep at school then I do at home... I'm in my first Psych class since coming back and we're doing some review. I should've stayed in bed!

I went out today looking pretty (just cause I felt pretty today I am) and I find that it is flurrying out here in Waterloo. It's not clod, just snowy. I was getting late for class so I didn't go back in to change even though I should have. Oh goodness, walking in the boots I'm wearing in the snow is not the greatest idea. I almost slipped! The price for feeling pretty; it's steep! Rawr, snow snow snow, I was hoping I wouldn't see any more snow after snowboarding. (: I loved snow boarding don't get me wrong, but I didn't want to see anymore snow on the ground for another month! Did Groundhog day already pass? I want to know if it thought there was going to be a long winter. I want summer now! Ah!

Trust

Just a short post today; more of a rant really...

How much can you really trust a person. Someone whom you think very highly of but then proves to you that it was all just a huge mistake. It's weird when you want to forgive them so much that your judgment gets clouded and it turns out that you're the one comforting them. They say the sweetest words that come just out of nowhere (okay, not nowhere; I thought those words were just deeper in the ground then they actually are). Now, I cannot seem to get my mind around the words that were said and am completely confused at myself... why am I forgiving what was done? why do I still want to see this person so badly? why am I even thinking this over and over?! I know my mind wants to do something, but something else inside me tells me to do something else... My feelings are a mess and I know yours are to, we just both cause so much trouble for each other. I promised you... I will keep that promise... I want to keep that promise.

Now, when you talk to someone who you also trust highly... and they seem to not believe you, it hurts so much, there is just no one else to trust. I know they have the my best interests in mind but being the stubborn and vain person I am I just can't seem to get that through me. I don't understand why it's so difficult to get rid of my pride and just let my life go along easier. The biggest problem I have with you is that I can see that you don't really care. Or maybe I'm just not picking up on it but you always seem to hurt me in the same way every single time.

My vision is clouded like there is no tomorrow and I sense that everything will not turn out well. I don't want to lose you (one out of the two at least; I'm sick of the drama (internal) that comes with a certain someone and I guess you're just someone I don't need). I just want to sit alone and forget about it but it's getting harder and harder to do just that because everything around me just reminds me of those things I want to keep away. I want to keep the trust up and not become a hollow shell but it's hard to change the way I am completely in a blink of an eye.

Prettia

I cannot believe that Reading Week is more than half over. I mean seriously... what on earth did I do this week? The weekend with Jae was very nice~ hehe, he cooked for me and I was totally stuffed *fish lips* I felt so fat. We had salad, soup, steak, spaghetti and seafood... Omg, they all start with the letter "s"... not a coincidence I tell you.

Monday, I saw Valentine's Day (the movie) with Tia, Tsang, Jae and Charlie. The movie was alright, I got a little sleepy and went to pee during it. Yes, if I go pee it means I got bored of it... because normally I'm too distracted to think about my bladder. We went out for dinner after at Pho 88, apparently they re-renovated. Personally, I liked it more before hand. Their soup still tastes ever so slightly of dish soap... I wonder if anyone else noticed? Hmm, Jae's been cutesy in public lately - He holds my hand, kisses me on the cheek, and blows hot air in my ear in attempts to make me squeamish, it's quite nice and actually feels like we're dating~ *yay*! I mean finally, right? Sheesh, that guy I tell you. Ah~ love him.

Tuesday, I was a bum. That's all there is to it. Lawl. Seriously, I did not get out of bed until 2? probably later. But, I did stay up late working on my Alice in Wonderland cosplay. I kinda wanna finish it before Kosa's birthday thing, so I can wear it when I go and watch the movie... however, I think my friends might be embarrassed to be seen with me in public. So, I'll re-consider. The apron is taking me forever, I finished the bow, and I'm going to re-do the base dress. It's going to take me so long. Good thing I'm a patient person. Kinda.

Wednesday was Chrissy's birthday dinner. I went to school earlier to give Stanley my AN money. It was really nice to see him again. When I saw him, I missed him more than I realized. I shall make an effort to keep in contact with him more, he's someone I want to stay in contact with, and it's just one of those feelings. I can't quite explain why, but somehow, we know who we can see ourselves being friends with in 10 years, and for me, Stanley is one of those people. I also went to P-mall with Kathy, Kosa, Cindy and Alex. (Alex might live with us next year... strange.) Kosa drove. I ended up spending $60... on what? I don't know... food, earrings, my hair dye (as shown below)

and other misc. stuff... Dinner was suppose to be at 6.30pm, and I left P-mall at 4.30pm telling Jae I would meet him at Eglinton station at 5pm. Well... it turned out to be more like 5.30pm... and lets just say I'm so glad my boyfriend is patient. He had a headache, waited for me for half and hour and still kissed me "Hello" when I got there. I'm so sorry, Jae~!!! Well, point is that we had to go back to my place since it was too late to go to Rin's... major direction mix up... blah... Chrissy drove~!!! I was impressed/scared for my life. But I think she's a good driver and we all made it in one piece, so she gets my thumbs up *gives thumbs up* :)

The food was fine. It was an all you can eat buffet. However, others weren't happy, so there was a huge argument... and -_-; yeah... staff = hates us, waitress = cute, and Jack looked good in a blazer. We went for bubble tea after at Destiny. I meet Tim, the guy who randomly texted me earlier in the year. He's a character. Let's see... who else went: Me (duh!), Jae, Andrew, Jina, Tia, Nat, Johnathan, Sam, Jack, Micheal, Rin, Chrissy (another duh!), Julie and Calvin (I didn't know him). Tim came later on. I saw Claudia, and as always, I was amused by her false eyelashes, they were very very long. It was nice seeing her again though :)

Today, I woke up early courtesy of Mommy. Dentist apt. with the dentist my sister doesn't like. Got them cleaned + X-rayed. Then, went to the bank, bought $4,000 worth of funds/bonds... something with a better interest rate than my Savings account. Nyah, that's my additional OSAP money... and my principle isn't guaranteed -_-; I hope I don't end up losing it. Meh. Anyways, I went to T&T for the first time~!!! I know... I sound way too excited, but it's so much prettier than Zehrs, and it's asian!! The drink section alone had like a zillion types of green tea and aloe~ ahhh~ *happy happy* After that, I came home and dyed my hair. Twice. Wait, more like 3 times. Well... let's just say I shall be re-dying it again soon... it's a bit kooky. It's a Japanese dye, cost me $20, and it foams~ the colour my hair ended up though, isn't really the same as the one shown.... *shifty eyes* and my roots are lighter than the rest of my hair, so it kinda looks like I dyed my hair dark, and my hair is growing out lighter... it's quite strange. Damn you, fine baby hairs. I think I should go to a salon and get it fixed before school starts again, but I don't want to kill my hair even more. *Sigh* I have a date with Jae tmrw, and I look funny. If he laughs at me, I'm gonna be mad *pouts* though I'd probably laugh at him if it was a reversed situation, so I guess it's fine :P

So tired, gonna go to bed now.
I will upload pictures later~ when I get back to Loo, so I can shop em'.

Snowboarding Weekend!

It is now Reading Week and has been for a but right? Well the starting weekend I went snowboarding with family and Ronald (Lol, a tad bit random but whatever...) We all went up to Blue Mountain during the busiest weekend haha; because of Family Day yesterday, there were monstrous amounts of peoples.

So this was my first time learning how to snowboard and I gotta say that it was tons of fun. All except for the falling parts and falling parts and well... falling. Today I'm sitting at home and I am completely sore all over D: I was going to take a hot bath in the morning but then remembered the apartment doesn't have water till 5pm ): Phooey.

Woke up at 6am on Sunday morning to leave to Blue Mountain... who wakes up that early on the weekend!? But at least I made up the sleep on car ride up. It wasn't too busy when we got up there so it was nice learning without tooooo many people watching me fall on my butt. There was this one instructor with 'red triangle snow pants' who taught me so much! He was just so enthusiastic, LOVE HIM!

The day passed by and we went back a bit earlier than expected because my knee was killing after a fall earlier in the day and just got worse during the day ): The only hotel that was free was in Barrie which is a little drive away from the mountain but it was nice! *_* Pool (didn't have a swimsuit cause Daddy didn't tell me about it) and really nice rooms. I shared a room with Ronald as well as my sister.

The second day was Family Day so it was jammed packed! Little kids everywhere and there was an odd amount of Korean people. o_O I'm slowly getting the hang of carving down the hill and thankfully didn't hit anyone (but there were a few instances of me getting really close to!) Remember, the best way of stopping is to fall. Heh, I also saw the guy in the 'red triangle snow pants' just fyi. Didn't say anything though, I should've at least thanked him for helping me the whole day on Sunday. ): I do want to thank Ronald though, staying with me while going on the bunny hills all weekend! Lublub. (:

Rawr, I'm now being a bum at home, I plan to do some drawing today because there's no water to paint. Ah! I'm also seeing a long lost friend of mine today. I can't wait! (:

P.s: Pardon formatting, but my Toshi baby is to small to seem to move these pictures. ):

Happy V-Day~!

Hey :)

So it's finally the big day~! Actually it's three big days rolled into one this year. Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and Chrissy's B-day~!!

I slept over at Jae's last night :) Haha, it was nice, because we've been fighting for the last day and a half. He said something I didn't like, I left in the middle of the night, he was majorly pissed off~ actually as far as our fights go... I'm going to say this was one of our worst ones. Normally, we stick it out until we feel better, but I was really mad so I just left. On the bright side, we're good and fine now = back to being our lovey dovey selves. Good thing too because it's Valentine's Day!! And he promised to cook me dinner ;) Gawds, I love this guy.

Yesterday, Jae took me to East Side Mario's. It was like 10pm and our first meal of the day... how sad are we? I guess we spent most of the day fighting. Or maybe just me brooding and him not really caring? Haha, I think it's a male thing to avoid conflict. Anyways, we had chicken wings and bruschetta and beer. Well, Jae had beer... I had cranberry juice and maybe a sip of his beer... okay, fine... a little more than a sip. Okay... I had a little more than 1/2 a glass, and I'm feeling horribly guilty about it. It didn't taste that bad... and I was totally fine = a surprise, because I thought I'd puke for sure or pass out or get dizzy or something... but nope. That's not the point though! Where are my morals going? Lol, Jae = bad for my morals?? *sweat drop* I hope Nat doesn't read this blog. She will lecture me for sure! I love you, Nat~

In my defense... yeah... I have nothing to say. Except, next time if I ever drink again, I much rather have a fruity cocktail. But I'm going to put this down as a one time, University experience, thing.

Happy Chinese New Year~!!!
to my mommy, (and my sister I suppose), dad, and the rest of my family.


A BIG Happy Birthday to Chrissy~!!!
Love you, and I will see you on Wed. I made this cake just for you! (Okay, anyone who knows me, knows that is a terrible blatant lie!) but it's the thought that counts. :) Right?


Gotta go to the grocery store with Jae.
Happy happy day~

Just a couple of things out of the way

Hi,

Just a picture of when I carved my first chicken a couple of weeks back. *happy happy*

Back in Toronto, now that it's Reading week. Got back yesterday... ;_; it was grid lock on the highway, but I got to sleep the whole time. (; It's so nice to see the family again and to just be home has taken a load off of me. Not only coming home but putting the deposit on the place for next year but trimming some loose ends on some situations.

Sorry for such a short post but I'm feeling much better than before. (: I also have to go to sleep cause I have to wake up very very early tomorrow for snowboarding! O:

Valentine's Day = Chocolates

So~

Today, I woke up at 9.30am. The earliest I have ever gotten up on a Friday... well since University started really. *yawns* I am still tired. I haven't taken a nap yet, however, because I had to make chocolates for Jae Jae~ He's lucky I'm this attached to him. Hmm, the fact that I like him enough to make him chocolates actually says quite a lot... Me, making chocolates, early in the morning... I've got to be the world's laziest person... and I woke up to make my boyfriend chocolates~ (and apply for housing)

I admit Becca did help (love you Becca Lamsky!) but I did all the finishing touches... at least a good three hours trying to cover the cake in chocolate alone. We were inspired by a website we saw... they're basically chocolate cake mixed with cream cheese icing balls, coated in dark chocolate. So good~! I admit I might have eaten a few too many... (as did Becca) and now I'm feeling a little queasy.

Kathy stopped by and gave both me and Becca chocolates:

Yeah... I know... suddenly I don't feel so proud of mine anymore~ you know what I think? I think this whole chocolate exchange implies one thing: arts students have too much time on their hands~!!!

Gonna go to Jae's and give him his early before I forget~

Econ 211

Hey :)
Look at the uber cute Sora cosplayer I found! *love love*

So, I'm actually in class at the moment... aren't I terrible? I'm blogging instead of listening to my Prof. However, since it's Econ 211, I can safely say that my distraction is justified. She's a very nice lady, but incredibly boring, and it doesn't help that she's teaching math. Math... *sigh* who ever invented it?? I mean seriously... didn't they have anything better to do? This course is driving me crazy. It's boring, and I should know this stuff but I don't... and it's math... Bleargh.

Anyways, moving on from Econ 211... I didn't sleep over at Jae's last night, haha, I know it's weird that I feel the need to announce that, but I've been there so often, it was weird being in my own room~! Should I be worried? Becca thinks it's unhealthy... haha, if I was anyone else looking in, I probably would too :P~

We're both getting sick and tired of looking at housing, we have two more tours tonight, and hopefully after this, we will have decided where to live. I really don't care any more. I'll pay the expensive Lester rent~!!! It was a nice place anyways. I mean, really, it's getting ridiculous. And it's causing Becca tons of stress. I'm worried for her.

I polished off several episodes of Desperate Housewives last night. I am extremely ashamed of myself, I was suppose to be doing my Arbus assignment, but the fact that Cindy sent me hers to reference, made me extremely lazy. And not to mention, it's not due until Friday midnight... which made me procrastinate further. Ahh~ I'm so sorry Becca (it's a group assignment) and why did you ditch us Kathy (bad planning on her part...) ?

Okay, well that's enough general ranting from me.
Jae: Love you~
Becca: I will finish Arbus on time~!!!
Self: Call work.

- Lee
P.s - I think I'm dropping this course...
P.p.s - Omg... I failed my mid-term...
