Wake up in the morning

110: Crunch Time

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 02:38:43 GMT

From 4_leafclovers : It's a coffee meme! I got Cappuccino lol I don't even drink coffee.

The Cappuccino is the java that best describes your personality. Chic and intellectual, this drink is only for the serious and mature. The air of importance 'cappuccino' carries cannot be spoken unless by the purely driven and successful individuals. This drink can be contemplative or social, although it is most often considered classy. With its rich espresso, relaxed milk, and slightly foamed topping it fits in most anywhere. Although slightly reserved for important occasions, there is a hint of exciting foam that is let loose only briefly. You are not given to triviality and pointless activities. You like success and are goal driven, ambitious and are comfortable conversing. You are confident and bold and no one can mess with a cappuccino. Any addition or change to a cappuccino only wrecks its calm and collected image. Responsible and slightly reserved, the cappuccino is the mirror of your cool, collected, and 'going somewhere' personality. To be inspired and motivated, people love absorbing the aura of confidence surrounding a cappuccino.

I haven't been on too many of my social networks (some of you may have noticed I've withdrawn from a few major sites), and surprisingly, it's been really easy. I have two more weeks left before my last exam is over. It's been so cold lately that my hands are cracking and the skin around my fingernails is sort of bleeding..... :S Wear some gloves. Stay warm. Don't catch a cold!!

eta: ahahaha speaking of crunch, I'm trying this new Lays potato chip flavour: Sweet Chili. I like it lol

sooo...remember that Week of Hell I was talking about earlier? Well, I got some of my assignments and tests back this week. Ace, ace, baby. ;)

p.s. I joined Em's meme :)

eta: wooow, I was wondering why I was so hungry and now I've just realized that I went all day without eating the lunch that I cooked this morning! I was so busy, I totally thought I ate it. I'm eating it now ._.

106: when I close my eyes

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:18:13 GMT

Lately, I've been having dreams of people in my life dying. I never dream and when I do, it's because I'm stressed or I have a nightmare. I wake up crying from these every time. Sometimes it's a different person, sometimes it's the same. You die over and over again in the same way. I wake up feeling very distressed. Are you guys still with me?

102: Man..my eyes are so tired...

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:58:46 GMT

I've been sleeping really bad lately since I spent the last week getting literally only a couple hours of sleep a day. It was terrible and I don't recommend it to anyone. So I spent all yesterday and today catching up on sleep!! I would always wake up hungry 'cause I'd be missing out on the important meals. THIS IS A BAD EXAMPLE. Do not do what I do. Get started on your work early so you don't have to stay up doing it. It's just the worst. Get it out of the way so you don't even have to TALK about it!

Anyway, so below is my "haggard" look. Not really, but it's just me without make-up. Look at those dark circles....... And the cute shirt I bought. I don't think it's very cute anymore. It's really annoying, actually. I don't think those loooong shirts that you wear with leggings suit me very well at all. But I bought two and I wasn't going to just never wear them again, so now I just wear them around the house. I have a pair of really short shorts that I love to wear 'cause they're so comfy and then I pull on thick wool leggings. LOL that's how I look when I'm at home!!! I don't like wearing long pants!! HAHA!! I also bought these sparkly glue things 'cause I thought they were neat and I could use them when I'm writing cards to people. So yeah, if you still want a card and you haven't sent me your address, go ahead and PM me! I promise you'll get one =)

mehh...back to work :P xoxo

101: Quiet Night

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:26:43 GMT

Sometimes I wish I could film what I do everyday so I can take you along with me lol I've made some pretty cool friends on here and I'd love to spend a day with you guys :) Anyway, right now I'm watching The Ugly Truth and munching on some cupcakes with a steaming cup of green tea. The wind is HOWLINGGG outside and it's raining so hard. At least it's not terribly cold! Oh, Vancouver. :) Have a good night, my lovelies. xoxo

100: The Lunchlady is Crazy, But So Am I

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:02:30 GMT

I just got through two term papers, two quizzes, an essay, and regular homework all within the span of four short days AND YES, I do expect to get some decent marks back, so a round of applause, please, for this ultimate procrastinator!

In other news, there is a lunch lady in the AQ cafeteria and I think she's a little nuts. I usually get a sandwich and one of the lady makes them for us behind a huge glass thing. I always order salmon fillet. She was SO FUNNY. I thought she was completely high on something. She kept piling stuff into my sandwich and she would be like, "and ooooh, a bonus!" in a weird, high-pitched accent. By the end of it, I had a small half sandwich that was three inches high HAHA and then she wrapped it up and was like, "I LUV TO SEE DAT SMILE!" She just made my day. She also gave me an extra pickle. :D

Then when I got home, I played phone-tag with my car insurance company. It's been over a month since my crash, so I imagine he wants to talk about the medical part of my claim. Ughhh so I'll them back tomorrow and play again!

I fucking lucked out on a job interview and now I'm left hanging once again. This is dumb. When am I going to get another job?

oh yeah, I'm gonna look through the wishlists in that TH community later to see what I can get you guys! =) Maybe I'll post one myself later on.

xoxo

waking up in the morning and it's freezing cold only to go to the bathroom to find the toilet seat is like ice to your butt! How are you supposed to pee or crap when it's so effing cold? yikes!

It hurt to be told all the time
how I loved that terrible flame.

097: Understanding

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:21:31 GMT

Some students in my lecture hall are being bullied by this TA who thinks it's okay to be condescending just because he's really smart and knows his field of study inside out. So when I ran into something today, it made me think. It's about 2:30am and I'm very tired, but I hope I make sense in some way. I might read it over again later when I'm done all my papers...which won't be for a while. But anyway, under the cut we go. (I'm talking about people who are really super smart, but have this way of dishing out their words that is really unattractive, yo.)

No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.

I always see people arguing around here. There hasn't been any fights that I'm aware of as of late, but I just stumbled on someone's really old argument. What are people trying to win here? I see people trying to convince others that their view is ultimately correct (with loads of stuff to support themselves with, which is great), but then I don't see how they are ever going to accomplish anything with their overly aggressive choice of words and total lack of respect for their opponent. Who do they think they are? No matter how good your intentions are, no one will listen to you if this is the attitude they have to deal with. Yes, I see you're both angry. In fact, a lot of people get upset even when they're not directly involved. How people deliver their words absolutely affects the way others interpret them. If they are already on the defense, would it help to put in twice the firepower? I don't think so. You'd only get hit back tenfold.

Another thing I've notice is how personal people take other people's comments. Sometimes I think it helps to step back and take things into perspective. You have no idea what the other person's life is all about and neither does the other person of you. This is why discussion helps clear things up, but it's no use being all emotional about it or it just ends up being a bitter argument that no one will win. There's nothing to win anyway.

It is not your mission to change the world, but it is very admirable that you try. It's good that you do, though I don't agree with some of the methods involved. A lot of people get hurt for all the wrong things and friendships, relationships, are broken up for nothing but closed hearts and cruel tongues. People aren't right all the time and when you see someone clearly in the wrong and you gotta speak up, then do it gently. No one asked for your opinion, though I imagine it painful to not state it if it's something you feel strongly about. Doing all the research and gathering all the facts is amazing, but understanding it from a perspective you entirely do not agree with is another thing completely. I really don't think there is any need for sarcasm or one-tracked thoughts. You build on each other's ideas. Heated conversations, okay. If you really need to scream and cuss and slam your point of view down, then okay. But give other people the chance to respond, y'know? I think it's good to go all out, challenge each other's stances, but I think it's a little unhealthy to hold a grudge. We're all good people in one way or another, born with a good heart. What you end up with is based entirely on your decisions.

People need love, even when they don't deserve it.

Otherwise, how else will we learn?

*headdesk* I only had four hours of sleep. I feel sick. I'm going to school. Just...help. I need to change my habits or I will die.

Oh yeah :) well, 2 good things happened to me: I got accepted to 2 volunteer jobs! The first is in December for the MS Society's Christmas gift-wrapping at the mall. The second's up on Cypress Mountain for Olympics 2010. I'm kinda excited! But I hope someone calls me back soon for those other applications I handed out. Hire meeee!

little things that make me a little strange...

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:00:12 GMT

Sorry about the last post. =/ Let's just forget about that. In other news, I'm kinda fascinated by Walmart. When I was really little, we always got our groceries from Chinatown and we'd have to walk up and down the streets to go to different stores to get what we want. Then for things like canned fruits, granola bars, snacks and bread, we'd go to Superstore or Safeway. Walmart is so clean and organized and y'know, American. They're even attached to food outlets like MacDonalds. It's huge, too, and it's easy for me to get lost or walk around in circles. Then there's Costco which I've seriously only ever been to TWICE in my life. No kidding. We don't have a membership card there and the two times I went, they were on two separate companies cards. I still don't go to either of these places often. I shop at Save on Foods and Superstore... but I suppose Walmart is a one stop handy place. If only I could bus to one 'cause I'm certainly not driving for a while anymore.

feeling kind of blank

Tired of things seeming awkward and people not even saying hi to me. like, I don't think I've wronged you, but the more things drags on and when I try to talk to some people, the more I figure I'm being ignored on purpose or something. I don't think I've done anything towards you and if I have, just say so and we'll clear it up. But if any of you don't want to be my friend anymore, then tell me. I won't be mad or anything. It's like a lot of people expect the worst of me and if I say one thing that even slightly sounds like I could be dissing them then it's game over. I don't go out to stomp people down and I'm not out to get you. I don't think badly of any of you, so why would you of me? I may say things you don't agree with, but I don't think it's a personal stab on my part. So it's really disconcerting for me, who cares for your well-being, to be treated like an evil little thing that you need to take revenge on or suddenly shut out. I could live without that, y'know. Just let me know. I can only try reaching out for so long before I give up. This really bums me out.

A random hello really picks me up. I'm not asking for much. Do some people really have something against me or is it all in my head?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:33:41 GMT

I ate so much more than usual today and felt FINE which is really amazing. I had soup and banana for breakfast, smoked salmon fillet sandwich and cream potato & leek soup and green tea for lunch, a stuffed shredded-carrots-cucumber-tomato-lettuce-bell pepper-cream-cheese-on-brown-bread sandwich for snack after class, arby's curly fries after physio, and then a couple dumplings when I got home! WOW! I AM AMAZED but I don't feel too awesome now. I think I'm catching a cold. please be careful, guys.

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:52:13 GMT

We are going back an hour!! Which means I get an hour of sleep. YES. This is a good thing. How was your Halloween, guys? After I came home from yesterday's party, I didn't get to bed 'til 3.30am so when I had to wake up at 8.00am, I was really tired. I went to get a blood test and she had so much trouble getting the blood out, she had to squeeeeeze my arm. Now it's bruised. Then we went to Oakridge and mum bought me new perfume!! I love it. It's Lancôme's "miracle" and it's so nice. ^_^

I have a buttload of work this weekend again. sigh =( Hope you guys enjoy your Sunday. I'll be writing another paper. -_-;;

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:08:41 GMT

Sometimes I get so tired, I don't realize I've fallen asleep until I wake up with the lights on, laptop slipping, and head in a weird position against the wall. I'm so, so exhausted. -_-;;
