Why can't relationships be tireless? Somehow, for me no matter what kind of relationship I try to keep, it's somewhat tiring...And, to honestly say that to some people, I'm sure they'd be offended.

My mom was fixing the clock this morning...yup, that cookoo clock. It's broken now. So, we've got an empty space on the wall, as well as a a clock that means a lot to my mom, but no longer works, and would probably cost somewhere between $100-600 or so to fix. ε=(￣｡￣;)ﾌｩ

I'm glad when people call me and say stuff like, "let's go hang out". Isn't everyone like...happy when people want to hang out with you and stuff like that? It makes me happy, but in the end, if you do it too much, after a while, doesn't it kind of feel like a facade? Like...you're trying to act to happy, but in the end, you really just want to go home. I've been feeling that a bit lately...

I went to the movies with May and Janetta today...which I admit was kind of fun because Imax was actually pretty awesome. And the dragon scared the crap outta me twice. And, man! The fire coming out was surprisingly hot! I didn't think it'd actually be real! So, yeah, we went to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. And, again, surprisingly good! XD I actually didn't really like the 1st one...I got so annoyed at Carmen. haha.

It's...3 more days, technically, two more days till I leave to go back to Guelph. I don't know, it just feels so much more real this time around, compared to the last two times...The first time I went with my dad, which felt fine...but the second time, I just wanted to go back to Guelph. And, this time, I just don't want to go...(*´ο`*)=3 I guess that's all I really wanted to say before I go back. I probably won't post again till then...So, laterz!

Hey! ^^" Let's see, what's new? I camp back from Camp around Sunday at 2pm-ish. Ended up going straight towards my laptop and getting the updates on everything and downloading the new stuff. That is, 3 days worth of missing out on internet.

Yesterday was spent mostly lazing around, and then going, "WHEEEE!! We got the Wii!!!!" haha. It came early in the morning, and my sister spent the better part of the morning setting it up. Around 1:30, we decided to walk to Save-On to find my mom and tell her we were around so we could help her bring groceries home. We ended up going to the Blockbuster to see the games they had, and stuff like that and not getting anything. We went back to the Save-On and helped my mom with buying the stuff. Apparently, my manager's still angry with me that I'm going back to school. XD

Today, I woke up at like 8 in the morning, because my sister was walking around the house, and nextthing you know, she's telling me she's going leaving at 8:40 to get to school to talk to her co-op coordinator?...or something?

I left the house around 9:50 and took the bus at 10 and got to Heritage around 10:10. Then, I met Linh, and we went to Starbucks. XD By the time I got home, my sister was already back, and scared the crap outta me because I didn't know she was back. haha. Anywho, then I ended up watching that new Cheetah Girls movie....yeah, crap, like I expected it to be. In all honesty, I guess they all kinda sucked, but this one hit an all low for me. haha. Whoever thought of Cheetah Girls in Bollywood? Kinda....retarded. haha.

Lately, I think I've gotten a little obsessed with Kanjani8. haha, it's weird to say, since at one point, I really didn't like them because they're more enka than j-pop. But, they are extremely funny in their PVs, and Ryo is fun to watch. haha. I guess that's it. lol Laterz. I'll spazz about school again later, I suppose.

I think the only eventful thing that happened yesterday, was the fact that I got to train the new girl that's supposed to replace me at work. haha. This girl - Patricia, she's going into grade 10! I find that pretty amazing. haha. And, I thought we'd have more to do, but we ended up facing twice, and walking down the aisles a few times, and probably walkng around the store like 3 or 4 times after finishing freight and backstock. It was definitely interesting, that's for sure. And so, apparently Jill trusts me enough to train somebody. haha.

The guy I talked about last time, was at work today, again. And, for some reason, he wore glasses today, as if they're something new. Did he have contacts before? Did he not wear glasses before? etc...Weird questions that kept popping in my head. And, if it's an achievement, we did talk about 3 or four times today, compared to our usual 1 or 2. XD Though I think the first one was him asking me how long I'd be working till, the second was about my haircut, and the third was him talking about his gloves, and me laughing at him because they said Tropicana on them. haha. Anywho...I'm giving up on him, only because I won't see him for a year, and it's pointless. I don't believe in long-distance relationships, cuz they just don't work. I can't believe I actually believed in them back then. *sigh* Anywho, ther's a short rant. haha.

August 19, 2008

This update is my random ramblings. Gomen, ne? ^^" I've been thinking lately...a lot of things, I guess. We all know Kat watches way too many romance dramas. haha. It's just the things that happens to me, ne? Anywho, there's this guy at work, he's Chinese. Unfortunatey, I think he's younger than me, either by a year or two years, evenif he tries acting older than me. hah.

Lately, I've been thinking that I won't get married. And on the opposite side, my sister keeps saying how she wants this and this to happen at her wedding, etc. It's hard. Especially when I technically don't even have a guy that I like. Certainly all I can think right now is, boys are dumb. haha.

I think mid-last year, Angela started thinking I liked one of my house mates for this coming fall. But, I don't, and it somehow turned into a thing that even her boyfriend knows about. haha. mmm...what else? Even my sister has someone she likes...why is it that I feel like I'm totally lost? It's seriously no wonder I keep telling my parents to not think about havng a wedding for me. *sigh*

I feel like I didn't have a point writing this. XD Anywho, and now I need to find a way to get Jun to want to go to ACF...or it could be a pretty boring year. And then I have to met up with him before school starts so then I can get the omiyage he got for me while he was in Japan. haha

The good news is that Ian told me he'd be home the 30th, so then I'd be able to get into the house on the 31st. Then, Jon gets back on the 1st. It's still a wonder when I'm going to move my stuff from one room to the other though. haha. It should only take an hour or two, I think...since I don't have much stuff anyways. But, I wonder if I still need to get Jun to help me or not, ne?

Lately, I've been re-watching PGSM. haha, I forgot how long it was. I mean, seriously, for a j-drama, and it having what...like 50 episodes!? haha. I don't know, I found it really good though, compared to what people said, still. haha.

Now, it's almost the countdown...about 2 weeks left. I did want to go back to school. But why can't there be a choice of staying here and not working instead. haha. I should probably stop randomly spouting random thoughts...anywho, laterz.

August 18, 2008

Today was filled with highs and lows, I suppose you can say.
Lows: I found out I have to work on Thursday. Someone called me a time theft. I still have to finish my Yaletown poster.
Highs: My NEWS bag is finally finished! I finally caught massive lightning on camera last night.

So, yes, I have to work, my final day is now Thursday instead of Friday. Which means, I get only one half of a day as a free day now instead of a day and a half before I go to Camp Nakaman and get to play with little kids. Oh the joy!

I wonder if I can spazz about work again? It's all I've been doing all summer, really. On Saturday, I went to work and I was putting stuff on a shelf. This girl who I knew worked at the tills came over to me and was like, "This lady needs help getting something off the shelf, because it's too high." At least I'm nice enough to help her, mostly because it was a customer. Anywho, I walk over to what she wants, and it's the freezer. So, I open the door, step into it, and grab the stupid popsicles and give it to the lady, who happily takes them and leaves. In reality, I can understand if the lady asks for someone to get them. But for the stupid cashier who couldn't get it herself, that's just retarded. Another reason why I freakin' hate this job.

Oh right, a short spurt on time theft. J.D. was saying how he wanted to leave early tomorrow morning, and Jordie wouldn't let him...and then when I came out the back door to go back home from work today, J.D. and Jordie were sitting at the back smoking. And then I decided to leave early because I took a 30min.less of a break. Then they saw me and like shouted time theft. XD

*sigh* Apparently, I'm not allowed to do that tomorrow, since I only work 6 hours, and I have to help train someone for my department because I'm going to stop working on Thursday. Dominique's still on Vacation in Virginia...I believe at least till next week so they need someone to fill in. And I guess that's what they call idealitic for a time to train someone. I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon trying to figure out how to use the Brother printer my dad bought at Costco about a month ago. I really wanted to make a NEWS bag, and I'd bought the iron-on stuff about a month or two ago. Anywho, I finally got them printed yesterday, and today while I was at work, my dad ironed them onto my bag for me.


I guess that's all for now, Laterz! ^^"

August 14, 2008

Yo! ^^" I officially got my license in the mail yesterday before going to work. XD At least that picture looks better than the one on my UofG ID card. haha.

Yesterday, when I took my break at work, I was hoping to leave early. And, then I decided to go find Roland and ask him about this "leave of absence form" that I was supposedly supposed to fill out. And, he ends up calling Darren, and then I had to write a letter to him requesting the form. And apparently, he couldn't read my handwriting when I gave the paper to him, and he just laughed at me. Roland then let me use the computer to write my letter, and "the end"?

I still got home around 9:15pm. I have a feeling today's freight. And I'm not gonna be all too happy about it, I don't think. haha. I'll probably end up going home late if anything.

I wanted to rant some more about the NEWS pacific DVD, but perhaps I'll do that when I've got more time. I'm about 10 minutes away from having to get to work. So, later!

August 12, 2008

I find it weird, that only in a few weeks I'm going back home. Ah~ not home, back to Guelph and to my house which I'll have to call home for the next year. I leave August 31st. And so since I found out my exam schedule for December already, it seems I'm done officially at 10:30am on December 9th. Therefore, I'm coming home around 10pm on the 9th. ^^" I was happy because I realized I only have two finals again. haha. Though I'm still not sure what to do about my Soil Science course, whether I should stick with it or what not. Most likely, I'll continue with it, and not take Anthro. I'm sure Anthro can't be that bad. But, perhaps I should save it for next semester or something.



And aside from that, am I allowed to totally spaz? Okay, perhaps spaz is the wrong word. The release date for the NEWS Concert Tour Pacific 2007-2008 - The First Tokyo Dome Concert DVD is supposed to be released August 13, 2008. And, I think starting, the 10th or so all parts of the DVD started being uploaded. And, I think I have officially all the parts. >.<" It's not my fault that I'm broke. Cuz, I was really wanting to buy it, but a DVD that won't even play in my DVD player, and costs like $60-70, doesn't seem very logical to buy. But yes, now I'll have fun during this new term working while watching NEWS. lol, so, my little rant about me bootlegging. That's bad. XD

Yesterday, I left work about 2 hours early. I finished everything I was supposed to do in a matter of 3 hours. And I was supposed to be there for an 8 hour shift. I just felt something to be wrong with that picture. Anywho, today's freight so I'll probably be there the rest of the night it seems.

I'm extremely happy that I finally found the time to finish my translations for the magazine article, but I still have yet to finish my Yaletown poster, and time is drawing nearer and nearer! ARGH! What am I gonna do, ne? Hopefully, I can get a bit more do on Friday...and then the next Thursday and Friday...and maybe some while I'm at Camp? I hope to be done before I get back to Guelph at least, even though I still have a month after returning till it's due.

I think I've ranted enough. Laterz!

Apparently, today, I'm extremely clumsy. At work, I was putting out some distro, which at the time were these black mesh trashcans. I put them on the shelf, and next thing you know I hear this clash. Apparently, on the other side of the cube were picture frames, and one fell, and broke. Great. haha. Luckily, it's not like my pay gets lower if I brake something. haha.

After putting out distro and filling the cubes, I finished freight, and then faced. When I started facing, I started at the beginning - the baby food aisle. Yes, clumsy me. I broke one of the jars. *sigh*

To be honest, I don't have much to say today, nor will I probably have anything to say tomorrow. Though, I am glad that my pay went from $9.40 to $10.20. XD

I need to stop downloading Shounen Club episodes, and try to finish my Yaletown Poster...and then maybe finish translating that article that I keep putting off. haha

And yes, I'm very unhappy that I keep missing Olympic events that I want to see. i.e. The full opening ceremonies, gymnastics...Anywho, that's it for now, laterz!

August 4, 2008

Summer is going by way too fast. I'm glad I had such a long summer vacation, but in reality, it felt so much shorter than it actually was. Why? Because almost everyday was filled with late-night shifts, and long hours. And...then having to pay for rent even though I'm not living in my new house yet back in Guelph. I'm going back the 31st! It's so soon! And to think school starts September 4th~!

I ended up splurging on lots of stuff. XD I bought a 1TB external hard drive and then two sets of headphones because there was a sale. I was happy, only becaue, I think I used up like 5 sets of head phones this year alone. >.<" So, if you guys want to buy me a present, there's what you can buy. haha. Though, I think it's because it has something to do with the go-through at the airport. Cuz everytime after I go on an airplane with my headphones, they die soon after. Plus, I use my headphones like 24/7, especially at school.

Yesterday, I went to Heritage Days and bought this carp balloon at the Japan booth. XD It was too cute, so I had to buy it, even if it was expensive for its size. Mmm...what else...

I watched Cardcaptor Sakura: The Sealed Card, which is the second movie again. haha. I've been looking for it forever...I'd burned it onto a disc when I was still in Connecticut, as far as I remembered, and then I thought I lost it. But I found it this morning, and so had to watch it. I think, I've fallen in love in Cardcaptor Sakura again. XD Sakura, Sailor Moon, and Beyblade are so mainstream, and have been dubbed. But in reality, they're really the only anime that I loved all aspects of.

I wanted to buy the NEWS - Concert Tour pacific 2007-2008 DVD which comes out August 18th, I think. But, unfortunately, the DVD wouldn't be able to be played into my DVD player, and I found it somewhat of a waste, especially seeing as it's like, $60-70? *sigh* I guess I'll just have to wait a few months till someone decides to upload it and sub it maybe. haha.

Work does not help me as far as weight. It seems, for the last month in Edmonton, I'm gonna have to go running in the mornings. People tell me stuff like...I don't have to worry about weight, because I'm so small already. But, I think I am, and it's not like food is gonna stop me. XD I like my meat way too much. haha. Anywho, that's all for now!

August 1, 2008

(*⌒ｰ⌒)o∠★:ﾟ*PAN! イエイ～！That's right, I passed my learner’s! Anywho, I'm just happy right now...and I guess that means I should really get to working on my Vancouver poster...and finish it before I get back to Guelph. There's only a few weeks left! ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・

I'm going to Camp Nakaman with my church at the end of August, so I'm going to stop working at Save-On on August 21st. And, that weekend, I believe I'll be gone. So, I hope, worse come to worst, I'll work hard on my project also when I have free time. Of course, I'll be teaching at the same time...I guess that's what happens, when you get to go somewhere for free. XD



Ahh~! I bought this at Daiso in Vancouver. XD And then, when I came back I re-watched the Kanjani8 - Wahhahaa PV and it had the same one! What are they called? (＞∀＜)

Code Blue is getting so serious! I'm amazed with Yamapi's acting...again. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! Anywho, that's all I've got to say for now. Laterz!
Posted at 1:53PM

July 31, 2008

I'm actually waiting patiently for someone to upload the 5th episode of Code Blue, which aired in Japan last night. XD And to keep myself occupied, I went to go watch TV, only to find there was nothing on! I watched a weird cartoon version of Heidi, and a movie from 2006 called Deck the Halls. But seriously, there's only so much I can take.

My dad bought a wireless printer at Costco the other day, which seems really good. I can't wait to use it. I need to...well, really really want to make iron-ons, to put onto a bag I have. It's more of a...'so I have it' sort a thing, rather than a 'I'm gonna use it!' thing. XD
Anywho, what it looks like (Well, the reversal's of them at least...):


Today was interesting...I woke up around 9:30, folded laundry, drew a bath, made breakfast all at the same time. And by the time it was 11, I still hadn't taken my bath. So I quickly did that, and my water was still hot. XD YAY! Mmm...what else...I did more but somehow, I just can't remember.

I found out that NEWS made a new LAWSON'S CM. And so, I think I watched it, perhaps 5 or 6 times in a row, till I decided to cap it. It's not my fault, Ryo's expressions are always priceless.


I guess that's it for now...I just felt like pic-spamming. XD Maybe I'll pic-spam more with Code Blue screencaps or something...

July 30, 2008

It's been a week...since I last updated. It's pretty bad actually, that I haven't really written anything in the past week. Okay, I lie at that, cause I did write a poem. XD

The week has been busy with work...and massive studying. Yes, I'm gonna have a try at my learner's one more time. That's this Friday.

It's hard to believe that summer's almost over. In about a month, I'm already leaving and gonna be in Guelph. August 31st, to be exact. My mom started complaining to me the other day, that if I left, there'd be no one to talk to her, because my sister's gonna be at school all the time, and my dad doesn't come home till later from work. There's nothing I can do about it.

Anywho, my "To Do" List, so I can remember, I suppose:
The review/spotlight list:
Aragaki Yui - Make My Day [single]
Code Blue j-drama
Mr.Children - GIFT [single]
MICA 3 CHU - I DON'T KNOW [single]

And...I'm planning on buying an external hard drive, because it realy does seem useful...especially since I'm going to need the extra space later when I get AutoCad, and stuff like that.

Argh! I've got nothing to say. haha.
Posted at 9:38AM

July 23, 2008

I got home about 15 minutes ago. Perhaps I'm too tired I can't sleep? No, that's not possible. I was extremely bored at work. Though, a lot of interesting things did happen today.

It started off with me finding Jill and she and me going to the back (=warehouse) and on the way seeing Jesse. Jesse = probably late 30s to early 40s bald man that wears glasses and is has a thing for girls, and is a service clerk. Pretty much, he sees me and says "Hi Katherine." I kinda smile and say a quiet "hi". I think Jill started laughing. XD And once he was out of view, she tells me about how he talked to my mom once and said "You know, Katherine is a beautiful girl." And my mom says "Why?" And he says "No reason." It's weird, creepy...yet funny at the same time.

After that, I did a bit of freight which was pretty much all Covergirl and Revlon cosmetics...and that didn't take as long as I thought it would. Next, I did the clipstrips in each of the aisles. And randomly some guy probably in his 30s in this bright orange shirt comes up to me. So, I thought, oh, he's gonna ask me where something is. Instead, he says "Excuse me, but has anyone ever told you that you look good in those pants?"
K: Uh, what?
Guy: What's your name? K: Katherine... (which, I couldn't really lie about seeing as...I have a name tag...)
Guy: Your boyfriend probably says that all the time doesn't he?
K: I don't have one. (Though I probably should've said I did, ne?)
Guy: You single? No way...for how long?
K: uh..for a while...
Guy: How old are you?
K:...18...
And, I forgot how it ended but he finally left...and I was left thinking WTF! 0(>_<)0

Mmmm...I haven't updated really in a while..so I never mentioned me buying my Kanji study guide at Indigo the other day. It's "A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters". I'm having fun with it, even if I'm trying to remember lots and lots. Keeps my brain working in the summer? I don't know...

I guess that's enough for today. OH! The best song ever! ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・ Actually, I only can listen to like 2 minutes of it, since it's only TV size, and the actual single doesn't come out till September...but yeah. I never realized I'd like Mr.Children, because they all seemed so old. BUt their voices are actually amazing! So, yes, Mr.Children - HANABI.

July 17, 2008

Gomen gomen! It's been so long since I've updated. But, that of course is because I keep forgetting. So, again, sorry!

I recently found an free mp4 converter...and it's making me happy. Actually, it was onlythis morning I found it...haha but yeah. Linh's coming over now...yay! ^^"

Mmm...work has been interesting. I found out I'm one of the people who got their names on the board for like "members of the month" sorta thing, yet not really. Yesterday, I was playing around with excel to figure out how much money I'm supposed to earn and how much I'm earning, and for some strange reason I got paid for 5.6 hours during the week I was gone in Vancouver.

I really need to go and do tha driver's test again, but I can't bring myself to re-study the book. Nor can I even bring myself to make my Vancouver poster. Things are getting hectic. School's almost starting! Anywho, my short update. haha
Posted at 12:00PM

July 11, 2008

I guess I haven't been updating much since I got back. Yesterday, I went to campus to hang out with Linh for a while...and then today was mostly spent doing stuff around the house, biking, and then trying to finsh up watching Tatta Hitotsu no Koi again. I've actually been really worried about my FTP program, because I couldn't find a free one that could last for a long time. My old one was Smart FTP, and somehow had an expiration date. And finally today, I found one that works that seems like it'll last awhile.

Mmm..oh yeah! I was gonna talk about one weird thing. Did I talk about it before? Mmmm...I realized something when I got to Richmond, where I met my cousin - Karen. She told us about how grandma was thinking that something must be wrong with her grandkids because none of them have gotten married yet. Most are like 30+ and the oldest one, being the cousin I met, who's 37. Anywho, it got me thinking, is it some kinda curse in our family? Like, no one has boyfriend or girlfriend...and only one of us is getting married, and that's Kelly who I think is 33? I'm not sure but he's older than me. haha. He's getting married in Septmber...and I don't get to go. ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・ oh well...

Then there was that random freak thunderstorm at around 5:30pm, and my mom panicking like crazy thinking it was a tornado. Weird. Every time she sees like a thunderstorm with really big winds, she always thinks it's a tornado. Like the time she told me to go to work early because she was afraid there'd be a tornado on the way to work. (＞∀＜) Paranoid much, ne?

My sister, apparently, I totally didn't remember till I asked my dad where she was, went to Calgary Stampede with her friends from ASK this weekend. ε=(￣｡￣;)ﾌｩ And my mom keeps being extremely worried about my sister and her random mood swings. She doesn't want to admit it, just like my sister doesn't want to admit it, but the two of them are actually extremely alike.

I was waiting for my mom to get home...I think around 1-ish. So, then I ended up going through my magazines and finding three more posters to hang on my wall. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! Oh! and then I'm going to hang up my picture frame of my "Japan Trip 2006" pictures I made a while ago. Mmm...I guess that's it for now. ☆。.:*:・'゜ヽ( ´ー`)ノ　まったね〜♪

July 8, 2008

Time passes pretty quickly, doesn't it? One moment you're one place, and the next moment, you're already in another. What I'm talking about is my trip to Vancouver last week. It's hard to believe that I was still on vacation less than 72 hours ago.

So, I guess I'll talk a little about it, so as to not bore everybody. Plus, I can't quite remember all the little nitty-gritty details. We landed in Vancouver around 8 or 9 in the morning, rented a car and drove to Aberdeen Centre which was about 5 minutes away from the rental place? We had dim sum there, because nothing was open...that day being a Sunday. And by the time we came out, stores started opening. The Daiso ($2 store) made us happy. Though, I think on first run, we bought like about $50. That wasn't the last we saw of that place. haha. Afterwards, we got to the hotel, realized we couldn't check in yet, and parked our car, and walking randomly around downtown for a bit.

Monday was retarded. haha. We were waiting to meet up with one my parent's friend's...and he's a pastor, so he ended up being late by like..two or three hours because he was doing a consultation. Anyways, when he finally arrived, we went to China Town to eat lunch, and then he drove us around the city for a bit showing us the sites by drive-by. And then he dropped us off at Granville Island. We walked around for a bit, and took the Aquabus back to our hotel.

Tuesday was Canada Day, and was spent at Canada Place, where they had a free event (minus the food) and lots of random free stuff. Apparently my dad stole golf balls though by accident and no one knew. haha. Then, we went back to the hotel around 2 or 3 since my mom was kinda throwing a tantrum. On the way back, we found the Book Off, which is a used Japanese book store. So, I bought two magazines, and then left because my dad wanted us to go back to the hotel soon to at least get my mom back there. After dropping her off there, we went back to the Book Off, and I think I walked around there for a good hour and a half, bought a lot of books and then we left and went back to the hotel. Oh yeah, I think that was the day that I watched both Star Wars II and III. It wasn't all that bad actually, me not being one really to watch those sorta movies. But nothing else was on. Oh and after that, me and my dad went back to Canada Place to go watch fireworks. It wasn't anything all that amazing, but it wasn't horrible.

Wednesday, we went back to Aberdeen, because I told Angela I'd meet her there at 12. We ended up meeting at 12:30...but not much of a different anyways. So, while waiting for her, we ate lunch and saw Bella and her family. It was interesting, that's for sure. And, then finally, we met up with Angela, who brought along Vince. I'm sure that's because she needed a ride, more than anything. haha. Anywho, they hadn't had lunch yet, so I told them they should eat. We went to a Shanghainese food restaurant, and afterwards to the aquarium. It was actually really fun. I guess that's what happens to me a lot...like, you kinda don't want to do things, and only when you start to do them and enjoy it, do you not want it to end.

Thursday was spent in Richmond with my uncle, aunt, and two cousins - both way older than me. We went to some fisherman village. Well, really it was the harbor, I think. And then, we went to Metrotown...but nothing all that exciting. Though, it is cool to know that I have a cousin that's a lawyer, that's making movies, writing screen plays, and producing.

Friday, we woke up really early to catch the 7am ferry to Victoria. We were in downtown and then we walked around a little bit. Around 11:30 we drove to Butchart Gardens, which is a garden that was created in a quarry. It was interesting to see...but it wasn't all too amazing. I gues it might be because of the season...They had a Japanese garden too. But it was a disappointment. Our ferry back wasn't till 6, so we had to wait around till then.

Saturday...was spent walking around downtown. haha. It was raining! At least for a little bit. We ended up going back to the Book Off early in the morning, buying a bit of stuff, and then dropping them off at the hotel because they were too heavy. We ate lunch, and then walked down Robson St. I bought shoes. haha. OH, that was when it started to rain. After walking Robson, we went back to the hotel again and pretty much waited out the rain. Around 7-ish, we went to Chinatown's Night Market, which wasn't all that impressive. But I did end up buying 3 pairs of earrings. haha...I think I'm going a little earring crazy. But, I will wear them eventually. Just, probably not in the next few days. Apparently, I'd been wearing the same pair of earrings for about a week and a half...and the one on my right ear was too tight. So, I think right now, my ear's either bruised, or infected. But it should clear up in a few days..I think.

That was actually a lot longer than I expected it to be. >.<" Sorry!

AH! I want to say I'm bored, but I"m not. haha. I want to see Hana Yori Dango Final! After watching Arashi's performance of One Love on Music Station, and their PV, I got hyped up for the movie. haha. But, I probably won't be able to see it till like...September or October. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Lately, pimples are ruining my life. haha. I remember reading something that said, if you get pimples, it's a sign of being young. But, seriously, they annoy the hell outta me. And what I found out, is that I must be having like something like an allergic reaction. So, yesterday, I tried to figure out what it was, and now I know. I can't eat chocolate anymore. ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・

Yesterday I was at work from 4-10pm, it's actually a short shift. But, it was horrible. I had about a hour of freight, an hour of dusting, about two hours of facing, my break, and then two more hours of facing for grocery. For me to face grovery is hard because I can't reach the top shelf, and have to carry a small step ladder when I work. (*´ο`*)=3 Jill asked me if I wanted the day off tomorrow (which meant today), because she didn't have anything for me to do, so I said it was fine. So, another day off today. (＞∀＜)

I'm not getting overworked. I'm just...really tired lately. I really need this vacation it seems. My knees are clicking and sore again. I hate summer. It's like, it only happens when I'm in Edmonton. It's weird. I have a feeling, it's because it's too dry here, and it has something to do with that. Cuz, when I'm in Guelph, I'm perfectly fine.

Mmm...what else. oh! Code Blue is starting soon! And I'll be sad, because I'll be in Vancouver when it starts. July 3rd! I'm excited! haha, plus, I get to see Yamapi in a drama again. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!!

Yeah, I've got nothing much to say, and this'll probably be my last update until I get back? I'm not sure. I'm planning to bring my laptop with me, it's more a matter of, if I have internet access, and I'm not sure if we do have it or not. We'll see, ne? （＾∀＾） まったね〜♪

It's been a while. I wanted to update a few days ago, but things got so busy I just kept forgetting I guess you could say. Currently, I just want to finish reading the stupid driver's book, which I can't even bring myself to study again yet.

Yesterday at work was long! I had a 2-10 shift. I did freight, and then I accidentally didn't take my break, and ended up taking my break at 6 and one at 7. Roland wanted me to help as a service clerk too..And so I ended up pushing carts in, almost hit a moving car with carts. I did the returns, and the baskets, faced my own department, and did more distro. And, so when Roland kept telling how I did such a god job, I just kept asking him if he was gonna give me a raise. haha

Because this song is seriously stuck in my head...because Music Fair 21 makes me smile!~ It's quite a good cover, seeing as it's Tegomasu. It's Natsu Iro by YUZU? I'm impressed to say the least. Their vocals are probably the best out of all of NEWS, and Tesshi's range is amazing! XD Even though, I guess he does sound like he's like screaming at parts. haha.
This is the Tegomasu singing part for Music Fair 21...the Clip
And so, I had to show the original.

I watched Kung Fu panda sometime last week...did I mention that? I can't remember. It was alright I guess. The opening was pretty eck though. I kinda wish they had cuter characters, but I guess it wasn't a horrible movie. I wan to watch Get Smart, it looks good. (＞∀＜) Plus I like Anne Hathaway.

Mmmhmm..I guess that's really all. I need to do take 2 of taking the learner's on Saturday, so wish me luck! And, next week I'm in Vancouver. So, yeah. I'll probably update again before then though, but whatever.

Ever feel like you're extremely busy all the time, but you're really not at all? Perhaps it's just being lazy and not wanting to do anything, and next thing you know, a whole day has passed? That's happened to me quite a bit. To say the least, that happens to me a lot.

Yesterday was my day off. I woke up at around 8:50, which is normal for me. Used my computer like I usually do. Watched Gachi Baka...all 10 episodes. I guess I'm back in my Tegomasu craze because of their new single. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! But seriously, I recommend you people listening to it, just because it's that good! haha

Anywho, the weird thing is that Mr.CNS is in HK right now, and he's really like...I don't know, gangsta? kinda at least. He dresses that way. So anywho, apparently there's this store downtown called Haven or something? Is that near Grant McEwan? Yeah, so he's like, can you go to that store and check out if they have this shirt in this size and if it's $35 or cheaper? I just want to check in HK if they have it first. So, I answer back...do you want me to buy it or not? 0(>_<)0 I honestly don't feel safe going to downtown at all...even China Town is a bit sketchy. And if I go there with my parents, my parents'll be like, "why 're you going there for a guy to see if the shirt's there, and then not buying it? And then, if he does want it, we'll have to make another trip there."

Lately, I've been really tired lately. And for some reason, I had some random dream last night about being in high school...with all the people from Ainlay and two people from NHS, and Mrs.Pombert. I hated her...because she didn't like me all that much...｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<;)･ﾟﾟ･｡ Anywho...it was a weird dream, because the whole time I was talking to two people I rarely talk to.and somehow, Mrs.Pombert was asking us to play piano at some event with Third Day? It was weird!

So, around 1:50-ish, I went to the garage trying to fix my bike, because the last few days when I went biking, there were always these weird sounds! So, I greased it with that WD40 or whatever it's called. And rode around once and I could still hear the sound. ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・ So, I went back to my garage and was like, I can't go pick up my mom with this racket. So, I took the screwdriver and randomly screwed in a few screws and...it was silent! I was seriously amazed I fixed it somehow. I was gonna go pick up my mom today, But somehow, I'm way too lazy...okay, I'm not lazy. My legs are beyond stiff and I can't really move them today. Which means, my knees are gonna hurt like hell tonight. I hate summer. ☆。.:*:・'゜ヽ( ´ー`)ノ　まったね〜♪

A lot of things happened today. First, I woke up around 9:30-ish, left the house and went to McDonald's with my dad for breakfast, so I could go to the Ellerslie Registry and take my learner's exam. Anywho, I think anyone would've seen it coming, that I failed it. Especially after the damn chinese dude's like, don't worry, she'll pass it. He freakin' jinxed it. ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・

Anywho, I was totally upset, and wouldn't talk for a good...well, till I had to go to work. Around 11:30-ish, my mom gave me lunch. It was spicy udon, and I hadn't known it was spicy. So, I was like choking after my first bite. Then, around 11:50, I walk over to the front door, and call for my dad so he can drive to work. That's when my mom came over to me and told me that he went to tutor and he wouldn't e driving me to work. I'm like, CRAP! So, I left the house at 11:52, walked like crazy over to Save-On, and arived there at 12:05.

Half way there, I was feeling sick because of spicy udon. I can't handle spicy, and when I do eat a lot of it, I do get sick. So, not feeling well, and having a headache, I quickly got ready for work. I ended up taking a 25 minute break instead of a 30 to compensate. It's surprising how I walked so fast...

Randomly, I saw David Phan at work! That's right. He decided to apply to 3 jobs at the same time, and they all decided to hire him. And so, he was told to come into work for today, and after today he's quitting. haha. So, I talked to him during my break, and I felt a little better. I never realized, he has a kinda accent when he talks.

Anywho, that brings me to around 7:30 when I was cutting open a box of distro, and apparently, it wasn't cutting, and I was getting a little annoyed. Next thing you know, I cut my self a little with my blade by accident. ☆⌒(＞。≪)イタイ Alyssa kinda panicked and called J.D., and then called Roland, and then I was in the First Aid room, rubbing alcohol over my cut, and then put a bandaid on, and having to fill out a form. It was definitely a weird 15-minute experience. Moral of the story? Don't use a blade, when you're depressed, you accidently do stuff.

I got home, and...ta-dah! that's really the end of my day. Weird things happen to me. But, usually bad things always happen one after the other only on one day. So...I don't know. Guess that's it then...ε=(￣｡￣;)ﾌｩ

Time goes by really fast, when all you do is work. 0(>_<)0 And so, today was me going to Southgate to meet Linh, and while waiting, seeing Tori and talking to her for a little bit. And the pasta salad she brought was amazing!

Slowly, I'm getting more and more worried for my learner's exam on Saturday. And randomly, I'm having flashbacks, mostly about car accidents, because of the stupid driving book I've been studying. It's weird how things happen, I suppose.

Because it was just so awesome to me...and I went kyaaaa~ for a really long time yesterday because of them, I'm posting these pics.

It's Yamapi's Toshiba PC ad. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! And so, it made me laugh when I realized Jun took a picture of it for me. Haha, so he's on the lookout for NEWS for me, apparently. (￣ｰ￣)v

His okonimiyaki, with way way too much furikake. But nonetheless looks yummy to me...

It's funny, that he takes a picture of Lawson for me. Yup, it's another NEWS reference, because they made like three CMs for Lawson.

Oh! It's Ryo from the end of the 10th episode of Last Friends. Apparently, Jun was flipping through the channels and randomly saw him and decided to take a picture for me. (＞∀＜) Though, I suppose that's weird timing to take the pic, since that was when Sousuke was about to rape Michiru...┐(￣ー￣)┌　

It's Tokyo and then we can see Shibuya 109 from there. haha. Doesn't seem all that crowded to me, so I'm not sure what keeps meaning by t being so congested...

Anywho, as you can see, I've got nothing to say. (-人-)ごめんよおぉ

As much as I want to get a new job, I also just as much don't want one. Because, it takes time to fit in in a new work place, and get used to what you have to do. In reality, I'm just glad to be where I am today.

Yesterday, I paid my June rent, and found out that my friend moved my stuff into Stephen's old room, which means, I need to move my stuff back when I get back to Guelph at the end of August. My landlord told me that I'll stay in the other room no matter what, with the closet, and that's nice to know, so now I don't have to buy a closet or something along those lines. I'm glad. Now, I have to figure out buses...timetables, etc. But, that shouldn't be all that bad, I don't think.

On Thursday, I saw Ben at Ainlay, and got my tube back from Mr.Bloomfield. Afterwards, went to Southgate, watched Ben eat, and stole some of his fries. And then...missed my bus to West Ed twice, and arrived at West Ed around 2:15. Then, I met my friend, and watched them eat. Apparently they were waiting for me to eat lunch, so I kinda feel bad about that. It was nice to see her again, but it kinda seemed like we were randomly dragging it out because they didn't have to be anywhere till 5:30, and were trying to stayat West Ed from 11:30 till then! That's just crazy, don't you think?

Anyways, I decided I'm probably going to take my learner's driver's exam thing-y....on Saturday. So, wish me luck, ne? Jun's already in Japan...and I kinda miss having someone to randomly talk about Japanese stuff with.

Though my dad knows I've been worrying a lot about money lately, and knows about me trying to save up money for my trip to Japan. But...he told me that he wouldn't let me pay, even if my mom was coming with me. ε=(￣｡￣;)ﾌｩ Sometimes, I just can't figure it out....I feel like my parents are spoiling me, even though I know it's supposed to be a good thing, but I just feel so guilty about it. My sister's going to New York at the end of August with a friend and she's paying for the whole thing for myself. And, never once has my dad said he'd pay for it for her. I find it odd. Firstly he pays for my university tuition, which is about two or three times that of Kim's, and then a Japan trip for two people...for three weeks? Mmm...I just don't get it. And, I know I should be happy, but for some reason, I can't help but think...I just either need to find a better job, or find a few more hours or something.

Honestly, my dad isn't saying anything about worrying about money...yet he says stuff like, why don't you ask for a few more hours? Does he want me to earn more spending money or something...and then not let me use it? I'm so confused. 0(>_<)0

Lately, I've been thinking a lot. What is the reasoning behind friendships? Is it common interests? The time spent together? Or is ther more to everything? I was talking Jun the other day about how even hanging out with friends can seem like a chore. And, in reality, I find that extremely true. I mean...when a person can't say 'no' and they still have things they want to do, but they leave it for later so that they can go hang out wth friends...easily, when that happens to me, I get anxious to leave. ┬┴┬┴┤(･_├┬┴┬┴ haha.

In the past...week, I've been asked...four or five times to go hang out, and I've either been too busy with work, or just not been wanting to go. I mean, one of my friends asks me to go hang out with him once I get home from work to go randomly walking in a park. Uh, it was after 10? And, I had work the next morning, so I was like..no.

And what's this? After I freakin' yelled at him to stop bothering me when I was studying, he assumes it's safe to ask me to hang out again? Sometimes, I just can't figure out what's wrong with Martin. Then, Aisha's coming to visit Edmonton for two days, and wanted to hang out while she was here. so I'm meeting her on Thursday after I go to Ainlay. I'm meeting Ben at Ainlay on Thursday, before I make my way over to West Ed. It's gonna be a long day, that's for sure. I'm not saying that it's not nice to see people want to see me and stuff like that..I just wish it'd be more spread out or something. Anywho, that should be enough ranting on that, ne? ^^"

Lately, it's also been more, more, and more work..but in the mist of that, getting a new bookshelf, and rearranging my room. I've been riding my bike a lot around MacEwan a lot. I bought a curling iron...


I guess that's it ne? Just a little rant, I suppose. まったね〜♪
