And please, when you friend me on LJ, leave me a comment on the latest post you see. Don't be shy :) Otherwise, I probably won't notice!

 I'm beginning to wonder if Tom's already getting tired of blogging...

Eta: LOL Tom posted an Aero commercial and talked about Bill's kickboarding dream. Oh, Tomi, it's only 10 minutes. But I guess that's enough to keep rubbing in the "little brother" thing. lol cute. 

I woke up at 9:30 today, which is really strange because I usually don't get up until well past noon. I find that I can eat many, many things when I'm hungry. haha! I'm going out in a bit to the supermarket. Going to make yam fries and jerk sauce tonight! 

Minnie went back to her home planet 'cause she got mad at me. I have a new guy now. His name is Prince. Ah, the joys of pseudo-parenthood. 

I might have landed a really good opportunity for August!! I'll let you guys know the details once I get it sorted out! :D

eta: Some idiot parked right outside my house. My goodness, what are you doing there...?

Brüno! I am not going to watch it in theatres because I think it's ridiculous. My brother was like, "Let's watch The Hangover!" and I'm like, "No, that's bullshit. Haha, you might as well watch Brüno." He goes, "That's even bigger bullshit." lol, sorry, Tom. Hope you have a good time anyway!! I didn't even know they still had drive-in theatres. Those are so old-school!! But then again, omgwtfskittles posted a picture of drive-ins for fast food, so whatever, I guess Canada's just a little weird. haha!

I think I'll go to Staples tomorrow. I keep saying I'd go and then never get around to it. Right now, I'm watching a rerun of Project Runway Season 4. I love Christian Siriano. Most of all, I think natural geniuses who are hardworkers are super sexy!! lol

I totally miss Cindy. She's somewhere in Europe right now having the time of her life. We used to hang out a lot or at random when we suddenly want to do something. All my friends are always so BUSY or out of town. Hm.....my mum bought these really weird salsa chips yesterday. They look normal BUT THEY TASTE LIKE LIME CHIPS. That's right. Salsa chips with a "hint'' of lime. Lemme tell you, it's not just a "hint," it's a whole mouthful on every chip. *rant rant rant* lol

Course selection is on the 16th for me. Ew... lol. At least I only have 3 more weeks of school left!! In August, it's gonna be swimming lessons and a trip down south. I don't have much planned yet...maybe I'll find something to do. Get a job, become an emergency fill-in. Who knows? 

Tell me what you guys are up to! It's so boring today! I'm even talking to this guy on Skype that's trying to lure me out hahahaha---don't worry, I'll stay safe! I like this song: Mishon - Just a Kiss

Comments are up on Tom's blog, so if you're feeling brave, go check it out! I've been BUSY this week! Finally, I feel like I can breathe. This weekend will be spent working on some writing that I've put off for a while and I'm going to be buying some storage boxes to pack away some of my stuff in my room.

This is going to a boring entry because I can't talk about cars (I know noooothing about them.) I don't understand why males are so in love with their cars. I'm a horrible driver and I think my N is gonna expire (do they expire?) so I have to take the stupid driving test to get rid of it. Of course, I have yet to make it out alive on the highway and I've dented my car more than once already. (lol.........um.) I don't think i'll pass that test hahahha!

Here's a picture from one of the underground shops in downtown. I took this a few years ago when I was out with citrikacid :



So, Jason Mraz tix are actually only on pre-sale and we don't have the code for it. If you still wanna come, we won't order 'til next week! Lemme know!

lol, Tom posted a video of this guy dancing by himself and at first I felt embarrassed for him, but look what he did!! Thank you, Tooooom. This made me feel so much better, especially since this week has been and will be crap... haha, everyone, please watch the video! I started a "copy and paste if Tom sent you here" in the comments! Please join in!


I bet you couldn't start your own dance party ;)

In other news, I'm worried for a friend who texted me back something pretty worrisome. I'm nowhere near where he is right now and that's frustrating. Literally, I'm a whole country apart. 

 I'm in the foulest mood of my life right now. I've been having huge issues with my internet and I've finally had it. I'm not relying on this internet at home anymore. I'm almost always doing school stuff when I'm on the internet. I'm going to do everything at school from now on and if people can't catch me online to socialize, etc., then they're just going to have to start leaving me messages because I just don't have the patience for it as of late. I finished a 10 page paper in eight hours and it's craptastic. It's also worth 50% of my grade. It's 6am and i can't be fucked to care. 

My 07 entry is friend-locked and it'll probably be privated after I clear my head. 

I'm in a foul mood. And it's ugly. I am an ugly person today. 

Tom posted a funny video. You should all go check it out. As for me, I'm taking a nap for a few hours before I start my day. 

Peace out. 

I cannot tell you how furious I am that Maryam got eliminated on CNTM tonight. Apparently, taking amazing photos, having the determination and a heart of gold is shit and counts for nothing. She obviously had the better photo tonight. No, she might not have been ready to be a top model at this point in her life, but she had the potential of making it to the top 3. CTV, you are disgusting.

The blogs made on why Maryam was eliminated justifies nothing and it is so blatantly obvious that everyone was choking for something to spit out. If you have nothing but the truth, then don't say anything at all. Is the real reason Maryam got eliminated because her english isn't perfect, that she's a recent immigrant, that she was costing you too much money? If that's it, then just say it. No one would get angrier at that than with the bull Jeanne Beker pulled out of her ass and Lindsay's "She didn’t really execute her CoverGirl look as well as she should have" (everyone who watched that shoot is wondering what photoshoot you were at to say such a thing). I think Yasmin and Mike were really graceful and respectful in their opinion and clearly, they were both crushed that Maryam had to go.  

Meaghan, the sweetheart, needs to grow a backbone. If you're going to talk smack about someone else, don't feel bad about it afterwards. However, she was really neutral in her blog and even Nakita was blunt and honest. 

Tom posted an entry this morning just when I was about to say, "fuck it" and give up on my research paper. They bought a new camera for their cameraman! That's sweet. There's another entry about comments, but I'm not sure that would be such a good idea...The site would probably crash and that would suck for everyone. Would Tom read through all those msgs anyway? Keep it simple and clean. That being said...Tom, you lazy bum! Are you running out of things to write about? lol

My eyes are swollen and there is a deep throbbing around my temples, but whatever. I saw sunrise again this morning before collapsing into bed and somehow, I feel rather accomplished. I have class in three hours and then it'll be 3 consecutive days of non-stop work. I feel my brain burning. It's been a while since I've thought so fast. I can't believe I wrote all that stuff.

Hey guys! There's a JASON MRAZ concert on Sept 30th!! Let me know if you want to go with me so we can get the tickets together! Tix go on sale on Thursday and I totally plan to get them before the weekend starts. 

Also, Camilla d'Errico's launch party is on July 18th at Ayden Gallery, so if you want to come with me for that, too, leave me a comment. Don't be shy. :)

I'm in and out everywhere today, so this entry's going to be short, without pictures (because Tom didn't post any! :P lol) and not too much about me because I gotta run. 

Lastly, a moment of silence for Michael Jackson. ♥

It's Monday morning and I'm yawning...I've only had five hours of sleep again. But anyway, Tom posted pictures of Gustav and Georg!! :D I guess the hair rumour about Gustav has turned out to be totally false because his hair is still blond. I love his glasses and oh, there they are smiling ♥ Thank you, Tom!! :)



He didn't put up a music video today, so while I'm writing this blog, I'm listening to The Pussycat Dolls' cover of "Jai Ho". You should all listen to it! (I think Nicole mispronounces ''jai ho'' in the chorus, though....*wince* =/) It's amazing what make-up can do to your face and change it so much that you seem like a different ethnicity! Check out Nicole's make-up ;D

Sigh, I have horrible internet connection and it disconnects a lot. Last night, Pat and I were talking about whether or not we miss piano and if we had any regrets over it. I like talking to my elementary school friends sometimes because it's like we grew up the same way...some of us have known each other for 17 years! I'm still saving up for a new piano. So, anyway, I ended up talking about that and subsequently got knocked off MSN 253130 times because my internet is so bad!!

My Tamagotchi has undergone the most bizarre transformation. Her look isn't cute anymooooore! It looks like she's wearing a huge helmet and she has a stick-figure body. lol wtf. She has a band though: I named them SugarBit. :)

I should go eat something. Maybe there's leftover pizza? :D That sounds so unhealthy. I haven't had breakfast in a looong time, though. This is kinda exciting...! It's going to rain for the next three days. What a sharp contrast to yesterday when it was boiling hot! Oh, well. I guess I'll be walking in the rain tomorrow. Ick! lol

I hope you all have a good day! ♥ (And just for Linda: ....ONIIIIII, where is Monsun?? xD)

We were expecting this sooner or later, but here it is now! A song from Samy Deluxe on Tom's blog! Better yet, we get to see Bill! Oh, but it's such a tiny picture. Don't you think he looks beautiful? :) I think so. Maybe we'll get to see Gustav next and find out if he really has new hair! Bet you're all wondering. I am, too.



I slept at 5am this morning. Go figure. I don't think I'll be sleeping normally for quite some time. I woke up at 10:30 and went out for Dim Sum with part of the family (there were still 11 of us!) Do you guys like Dim Sum lol? One of the things I'll try doing this summer is making them at home. I walked down to the restaurant and it was sooo humid, I regret wearing jeans. Now I'm home drinking ice cold water and gatorade. The rest of the day is still dedicated to my research paper...and so is tomorrow...and the day after that; Not that I'm discovering anything amazing through this research, which sucks because that makes it all the more boring.

In other news: My friend Ser got a sweet job at another university this summer and that's great!!! We all seem to be looking for jobs and everyone's doing pretty well in getting one. I think I'll just take this summer off, though, and redecorate my room. Oni met CB last night which is another amazing thing because I bet they were really awesome! They're such gentlemen in videos and it's always nice to hear good things about them from other people. 

Oddly, when I do push-ups lately, my sternum hurts. I don't know why. Anyway, I gotta go back to work. Ciao! xoxo ♥

oh! P.S.: Thanks, Linda!! I got CS3 working on my PC and it's FANTASTIC! :D:D

I think the NIN lighting would give some hyper kids epilepsy, Tom... =/

Okay! While Tom was enjoying the luxury of breakfast, dishing out sneak peeks of future album covers, etc., and sharing a video of Eminem with us, I am lucky to even have an M&M or anything to eat until someone comes home to stock up on food. Residents in his house get so upset when I sleep in (I haven't seen breakfast or lunch since April), but I am just grateful to be able to SLEEP! I made a new friend who lives in Leipzig and my internet just died for half an hour, making me seem very rude for ditching him online at 4 in the morning when I should've been asleep anyway and he should've been making this phenomenon that is lunch.

My tamagotchi, Minnie, went out of her baby phase and now she can walk! She dances all over the screen and eats a tonne of food. Fatty. She's also getting new toys, games, and food/items at the store. :) Some strange Tamagotchi just gave Minnie an extra 2000p (money). Yay!! But seriously: don't take things from people in real life if they are sketch! You never know where you'll end up in the morning. 

It's 24 degrees celcius today which means it'll be another hot day and another restless night. I'm stuck inside doing my research paper! I'll probably go out later and go the market. So, my friend Lesley got sunburnt because she doesn't believe in sunscreen :( Yesterday, I put on sooo much sunscreen that I smelled like a fresh coconut. I'm sure people wanted to eat me. 

As you can see my tags for these entries will be "tomblog''...I guess it would've made more sense to call it my summer blog, but who knows when the album will come out? Did he say he was gonna blog until the single came out or the album? Obviously, I'm too lazy to check and now I'm going to take a shower before I melt. 

Cheers! 

You all know I don't blog enough, but, in the spirit of Tom's new blog, I'll try blogging everyday, too! I really like Tom's dog and I want to see all of them!! I've never had a big dog before--his dogs are probably taller than I am if they were to stand up. hahaha (or I'm just short....shut up.) And, leave it to Tom to be so curious about other people's lives that his first blog would be about someone else lol 

Sanna, Eva, and Violet have been posting in their Happiness Journal and I might give that a try, too, though I've done it before and it never lasted.

Today was a good day, I got out of the house early and got a bunch of things done. I bought a Tamagotchi! lol does anyone still remember those things? I named her Minnie and she's already gained 10 pounds since earlier this evening. She's sleeping right now. What a cutie.

I went up on campus today for an appointment and it went really well. I have a new SSP advisor and he's way less intimidating than the one I had before. He referred me to someone in the HCC, so I'm going to call them up later to book an appointment even though I've had such a bad experience the last time I went... Mark even offered to email me if the university had some job openings later on in the year. Cool! I'm not in a huge rush to find another job and Nan told me to take it easy for now until my semester's over. But in August, I'll have a whole month off! Dunno what I'll do... Any ideas what I should do the whole month I'm off? I might work on that BIG BANG FEST FIC!!!! (because I was crazy enough to sign up with Sanna!! omg...I haven't written chapter stories in almost 2 years!!!)

There was a beehive in our tree, so Grandpa sprayed it down with a hose. TERRIBLE. Tonnes of bodies flooded out and they were all white!! I didn't see it for myself because I was busy with Minnie (lol), but my brother came running back into the house to report about it. The beehive is now buried in the front yard somewhere... Good to know...

My brother has a History 4 exam for piano, so I gotta help him study (before he fails encore. Round of applause, folks.) Tomorrow, I'll be slaving away on my research project and in the evening, one of our aunts is coming over with fresh lobster :D yum. I might be going up to Whistler on Sunday, too, so I gotta get my ass in gear and finish everything before I go! Take care, guys. Stay happy and healthy ♥

Leave me comments! lol I don't know what to blog about tomorrow! xD

Tom's blog is up! lol I love it =)

 This really, really breaks my heart. I was waiting for the bus. It was extremely hot out. A Chinese man and a white man came to wait for the bus. The Chinese man was dressed in black sneakers, sweatpants, a shirt and a heavy blue sweater. He had a cap on and he kept his head bowed. The white man was huge, twice as big. He kept asking if the Chinese man was okay and for him to sit on his lap, why he was moving so much, if it hurt (if what hurt? my God.) etc. I have never seen such defeated submission and I almost cried because I felt so helpless. A Chinese man should never feel he does not have power to lift his head, especially not like this. Nobody should feel like they can't lift their head and look the world in the face. 

From sorion 

You Are "delete"

Some people might try to say you're standoffish and aloof. You prefer to think of yourself as a person of few words. You like to live simply, speak simply, and act simply. It's all about editing. No wonder you're the first person your friends call when they need a mess cleaned up!

Jayce and I are going to check out that convention tomorrow lol...see how that goes. Also, a poem: 






y(L)gU

pinnacle of truth HITS like a sledgehammer to the skull
falling pieces, puzzle pieces SLAM into place--
LOCK! fast LOCK-- click. 
remain silent, ma'am----!

Watch your step on the way out.

In other news: Happy belated birthday, Megan :) We'll catch up for sure when we're less busy and yes, text! ;D

 If Tom and Chantelle hit it off á la Mr-and-Mrs-Smith-BrAngelina style, then I don't know whether to be happy or jealous.
