o7.29~3o.o6 - emily prov park camping!!

2006-07-31T21:28:00.000-04:00

went camping again this past weekend :D we managed to find emily prov park eventually w/ the help of the gps!! (stupid mapquest!!) and we all raced to set up our tents before the rain.. which most of us managed to do.. but a few of us ended up standing in the rain trying to set up the dining tent which was successful! yah it looked shaky but it stood up to the pouring rain :D

mm bailey's and marshmallows really is good though :D

here's the rest of the photos.. didn't take many:

ddr mario style!

2006-05-07T00:45:00.000-04:00

i don't even own a gamecube, but taka does and so does rudy.. so i bought this game cuz well when i finally decided i wanted to buy it, it was sold out everywhere.. and then they finally rereleased it and i went to the toys r us in st. cath (there was a whole pyramid of them there..) and didn't really think twice about it and picked one up :D

finally had a chance to play it w/ my family.. of course taka rocks.. and well.. i suck (" ._.) and well it's just hilarious watching my parents do it.. we all end up a lil sweaty.. it's a sweet game though :D i recommend anybody who has a gamecube to buy it!! it has like 5 different difficulty levels so really anybody can play :D and of course how can you resist the good old mario tunes?! from dr. mario to the original super mario brothers - you actually get to run and jump onto the flag pole!! aww i miss mario! it'd be a lot better if they added more characters.. not just mario/luigi.. gotta get me another ddr pad ^^

how funny...

2006-03-04T00:56:00.000-05:00

okay.. as of september i will be leaving my work no matter what!!! hrm.. but will i be moving closer to toronto or back to niagara? hrm.. i wonder how i'd handle moving back home ^^ when i think about how much monies i've "wasted" on rent.. it's really depressing.. i could've helped my parents buy their cars :\ or atleast *helped*.. but noo.. i had to be selfish and think only of myself.. my parents are great.. they don't say anything and just let me do what i want.. *sigh* i gotta start deserving them..

u know wats funny.. i always take a transfer from the bus driver no matter what.. he always offers it to me and i feel bad not taking it from him.. haha.. i never use it but how can i turn something like that down?! i think bus drivers are so cute.. they always wave to eachother.. and their seat is springy.. i wonder if they get motion sickness?? see how interesting bus rides to and from work can be?! -_- geez.. i've been taking sauga transit for like.. a year and a half :o only ~5 more months to go!!! :D

i can't stop listening to james blunt (you're beautiful) and ne-yo (so sick) and mary j blige (be w/o you) and ashlee simpson (l.o.v.e.) and kelly clarkson (because of you).. why is it that i always listen to sad break up songs? dunno why.. but i love 'em :P

2oo6...

2006-02-06T19:47:00.000-05:00

well.. 2oo6 already.. *sigh*.. where does the time go?? i wish i knew what i was doing.. i guess this whole process has taught me that.. u can't give 5o% and expect to be taken seriously.. u gotta give 11o%.. funny thing is.. i usually give 1oo% in anything i do.. but.. when it takes to making a proper commitment.. i just don't think i can.. my heart's not in it i guess.. how can you give 1oo% in something you're not sure you want?? rudie says it's like relationships.. but.. i guess the "rest of my life" feels a lot heavier career wise.. i just don't know what to do with myself.. i wish i could afford more.. better.. not have my parents think so little of me (and belittle me infront of others.. :\).. i don't really know what to do nemore.. i should find a new job.. but i don't know what i'm capable of nemore.. not that i ever did.. it's amazing to think that i've come this far not knowing what i'm doing.. and i guess this is where i have to figure that out.. oi.. i'm starting to feel like i'm losing myself.. who am i really? i don't think i can be this shy reserved girl nemore.. i have to start being a grown up.. haha.. sounds so funny.. freaking i'm going to be.. 25 this year.. and i still think of myself as a kid - even though i'm living on my own and blah blah.. weird how you take things for granted.. i mean i have accomplished a lot right.. its just a matter of moving on from here.. blah!!!!

2005-12-17T13:57:00.000-05:00

ho ho ho merry christmas and have a happy new year :D

2005-12-12T19:33:00.000-05:00

*sigh* oops.. late postage!! i should really update my blog more.. maybe when i go to japan i will update when i'm bored since taka's bringin his laptop :D haha that's just kinda sad though T_T will try to avoid logging onto msn!! woo so excited about the trip!! will see my parents and brother and wife to be in 10 days!! OMG!!! BUTT, the flight is so freaking long that's the only part that sucks.. *sigh* 13 hours of just sitting.. but maybe there will be some 'bonding' right taka? :P so excited to see Sujin too!!! will miss everybody here and christmas though :( it definately won't be the same over there ><
*yawn* work at nighttime is boring.. it's so quiet and i still got 1.5 hours to go.. oh well.. atleast i get a taxi ride home and don't have to walk in the cold!!! oi.. only 8 more days of work to go.. i really need to find a new job.. i still don't know why i'm here.. and where did 2005 go? did i really work ALL of 2005?? what a waste of time :x
2006 is coming.. time to seriously think of some new years resolutions that i will keep.. i just sat and dawdled all of 2005 away and have really nothing to show for it.. need to start putting my priorities in line and figure out what i'm doing with myself.. cuz i'm not content at all.. i'm just getting by.. which is not what a university grad should be doing.. right? i gotta start applying myself.. ugh.. and stop being so lazy and pudgy and chubby and be more proactive and and and!!!!!
i read a while ago.. that introverts stay introverts.. wish i could be a lil more outspoken but i guess there's just too much going on in my head (obviously..).. i wonder if you can change that? but then again, i'm glad i'm me rather than some oblivious extrovert ><
oi.. random thoughts.. and i'm hungry.. i guess i will wait until i get home to eat something and then just sleep..
hmm i'm bored.. 1 hour and 18 min to go.. and still sitting at this desk.. maybe i should buy something for myself with this overtime pay.. hmm.. hah yah right.. blah.. hmm.. what to buy for secret santa.. hmm... guess i gotta go shopping on wednesday :) maybe get my eyes checked at the same time.. hmm must think of something to get for sujie too.. hmm... why is it so hard to shop for people?! oi..
anyways, guess i will stare at the screen for another hour..
bai!

and a month later..

2005-09-04T19:50:00.000-04:00

wow.. i can't believe it's been so long since my first year @ uni.. it's hard to believe.. everything on campus was the same.. except for the construction and new entrance (!!!) and nicely paved main street west.. no frills is now fortino's.. swiss is gone and boston pizza is here.. things change.. and things stay the same.. all the reps thought i was the one moving into rez for 1st year.. if they only knew..
after being on a uni campus.. haven't been on one in a long time.. i want to go back.. all the people.. omg LEARNING?! haha.. i still live the student life ANYWAYS so it wouldn't be *that* big of a change for me.. yes i have some monies in my bank account (probably more than I've ever had at one time but still so little).. i wonder what it'd be like to go back.. i guess i will be applying to schools for fall 2oo6 (shoulda made it 2oo5 after being asked at work if i'm going back to school and feeling like an idiot for not knowing what i'm doing.. *sigh*).. so many things that i want out of life.. i just gotta go out and get it (well first have to figure out what it is i really want to do with myself.. time is of the essence right?)
sadly.. the world is run by money.. and there are so many material things i want.. and with the job that i have now (not sure how much longer this job will last T_T) i can't afford any of it. i'm still so cheap yet i still can't save enough money.. maybe i will have enough for my plane ticket to japan.. but what of all the things i want to buy?! ugh.. things definately have to change.. i'm stuck in a rut watching the world go round and round and everything is just passing me by..
i have to get my priorities in order.. i need to reconnect with some people and just disconnect from others.. gotta get my head straight and just do it!

2 weekends ago...

2005-08-04T02:09:00.000-04:00

o7.24.o5 - driving range, brantford
the rain let up again for us.. after a filling dinner @ casey's.. to let us go to the driving range.. i think i hit a couple pretty far (not even 100 yards?!) and then a couple bounced off the walls and went into esther's booth.. oops.. hahaha.. that basket was humongous and sadly i was sore afterwards T_T i should get my dad to show me how to do a proper swing.. i feel like such a retard :D

o7.24.o5 - brant park, brantford
after having a couple slices of mmm dairy queen ice cream cake (happy bday elisa!!) we finally decided to go over to brant park.. i must say they have a VERY nice pool... it's just plain round and it gets deepest in the middle.. but probably only 5' or so cuz i could barely touch the bottom w/o going totally under... was kinda weird swimming around in the rain.. but atleast it kept all the people away.. only crazy people swim around while it's dark and rainy.. that was fun!! first swim of the summer.. how sad :P

o7.23.o5 - last summerlicious
rudie and i went to monsoon restaurant in toronto for lunch.. was pretty empty but was a very nice lounge and restaurant... the food was good!! i especially like the fish and chips.. although the chips were yams instead of potatoes (NICE touch!!).. so much fish though.. was so full!! the pad thai was ok, but i guess nothing beats natchos or watever its called.. dessert was really good too.. cept the lemon meringue stuff was so lemony i kept getting shivers.. stupid waiter just had to ask.. "sparkling water? or TAP WATER?" -_- geez i guess i will have the TAP WATER!!

mm fruizzi~

2005-07-22T01:05:00.000-04:00

mmm second cup give it a whirl wednesdays are so yummy.. only $2 for a drink that's regularly $3.55 -_- so overpriced :o rudie and i both had a fruizzi yesterday.. so freaking good!!! he had the peach mango tango and i had the strawberry kiwi breeze.. next week i think i'll try the tiamo or maybe the tangerine dream fruizzi... or.. aah they're so good i dunno wat to pick... mmmm fruity.. so good.. gotta try one if you haven't... next week is the last week for these 2 drinks!! august will be something new :D yum

hmm i was looking online at cell phones.. i wonder if it'd be worth it for me to get a new phone w/ mp3/camera? even then, the resolution on the cameras aren't that good anyways.. maybe i'll stick with my phone and carry everything else around with me.. my current camera isn't that big anyways.. cept no optical zoom :(

so excited for the weekend!!! saturday is rudie day in toronto.. going to summerlicious: monsoon restaurant and eaton's i guess and around.. sunday is girls day.. going to brantford to celebrate elisa's bday and new job @ st. joe's in hamilton (yay congrats!!.. didn't take her very long to FIND a job once she looked.... ugh).. might be going to brant park so woohoo swimmmmmming and tanning.. my legs are so pale :\ hmm maybe gonna go shopping for new bathing suit on saturday too.. so we'll see :D

this week went by pretty fast... yay.. so quiet at work.. too bad september is coming up and we'll probably be going back to normal craziness.. good thing about working @ a lab... when dr's are off (which is quite often).. we get a break too :D

moving.. again

2005-07-19T10:11:00.000-04:00

ugh.. why can't someone move out?! wats wrong with these people?! maybe there is something wrong with me :'(.. it is SOOO much freaking cheaper to have a roommate and I could get a much bigger space too!! but noOOooOooOo... everybody sucks! argh.. haha so angry!! ^_^

oh well, maybe i can find a roommate somewhere out there... i hope i can find somewhere that won't make me sign a lease (kinda doubtful though..), i feel so restricted signing a lease ><.. if only my parents didn't live in niagara... i would so move home :\ but then that would be going backwards.. not that i'm really moving forward or anything.. so wats a step back right?? the only thing keeping me here is my job, not moving home (yah i contradict myself..), my friends (that i see what.. every couple of months cuz the only time we get together is someone's bday? how sad is that.. we can't even make time for eachother :\.. and like 1/2 of them have gone to korea?!?! wat the hell is going on?!?!? hmm.. i am a very frustrated person right now!!!) and rudie (cuz i would go into withdrawal.. :P)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

watched tlc last nite.. was a cool segment on chimeras.. that's whacked.. two fertilized eggs (non identical) fuse to become one organism?! how does that get organized?!! aaaah that's craziness.. nature's supposed to be so 'orderly'.. but i guess it's not.. random mutation right?! ooh i guess that increases the variability in the population if one parent has 2 sets cuz then there's 2x more possible genetic combinations.. and then on top of that random selection and genetic mutation blah blah blah! but that's still weird! so cool though!! so then.. all these dna testa.. if the parent happens to be a chimera.. they can get screwed over.. i wonder if the dna companies are just hush hush about this and are doing mass research before their clients lose it on them?! esp when it comes to the children and stuff?? i wonder how many samples they would have to take to ensure 100% parentage?!

2005-07-10T21:26:00.000-04:00

today we went touristing again and went to the cn tower (so many people!!! eating up @ the semi restaurant was ok... the waiter was weird hehe but 360 is DEFINATELY better!!) and then we went to the rom (ugh so much construction there a lot of the exhibits were closed but the feathered dinosaur one was cool... u can see the framework of the entrance on top of the rom too..)

we picked up yumi @ the airport.. headed off to eat some chinese food.. mmm!!!! was so good!!! for some reason the guy there looked familiar to both me and my mom.. can't figure out from where though ?_? maybe he just looks like a lot of other asian? *shrugs* who knows..

aww i feel bad not being able to see them off next week :\ so weird not being @ home.. but today was fun.. if only we did stuff like that more often.. but who knows when the next time someone from japan will visit us.. i guess family is family which is nice :) and i'll see them in december.. geez that's in like 5 months :o

now i just gotta decide if i'm gonna stay or go home for now.. updated my resume!! so here we go applying again :s i guess i will shop around for a new (and hopefully cheaper) apartment around the same area or wherever.. hmm.. anybody thinking of moving out or know anybody who needs a roommate?? living alone is getting to me after living w/ people up until now!!

2005-07-10T20:23:00.000-04:00

o7.11.o5 cn tower w/ my cousin izumi... see any resemblance?! :P geez why do i look so tanned and my face is so big :o boo to her and her jap skinniness!
