Just taking a break from studying sociology. Gabe's hidden off in WoW again I'm assuming and I'm getting sick. There's so much stuff happening this past month. I don't think I'll be applying for UBC nursing this year simply because: a.) I don't have the marks (at the moment) b.)I have shitty references... plus I'd be saving like $100+ for the damn application that will only get tossed. Ah well, there's no rush to graduate and I'll apply next year.

On the upside, it's my brother's birthday on friday and Seaian's coming back to Canada on saturday. More celebration!

But at the moment I feel sort of crappy.

Have you ever wondered how things would've turned out had you stayed?

I'm a banana expressing yellow antigens

k, the 28th was New Year's Eve and traditionally, families are supposed to get together for a large dinner with dishes full of symbolic meaning. I can't read (traditional) Chinese but I wish I could read those huge almanacs/calendar thingies. So yeah, we're supposed to pay respects to our elders.


The 29th is the official start to New Year's on the Lunar calendar. There's a lot of celebrating going on with firecrackers to welcome the new year. This is when all the kids go out to wish older married relatives to wish them well and receive their red pockets with money.


Second day of celebrations... The New Year's actually goes on for like a week and in Hong Kong/China, everyone gets like 8 days off work (which is a huge thing). The kids in the picture are all carting around money. I can't remember whether this day is everyone's Birthday... or maybe it's the 31st. Anyways, blah.


On the 31st, the third day of New Year's is supposed to represent renewal/brand new-ness. People have to wear new clothes and use new things. It's a fresh slate to the new year.


Anyways, I just thought those pictures from the calendar were cool. I also think I'm too old to re-learn how to write Chinese again. Ah well. It's weird to think I didn't know a speck of English for the longest time. I was actually in ESL until grade 2... The TV taught me English pretty much. But, in that process I've forgotten everything and I can't string a sentence without sounding like a complete idiot.

Midterms are coming up... first one is this wednesday but the big one to worry about is next week for Microbiology 202 >< (it's more like a final). I'm getting sick and this cup of no name brand neo-citron tastes like plastic bag, it's disgusting.

I celebrated my grandma's birthday and had the big Chinese New Year dinner tonight at some Chinese restaurant. My grandma is 60 years old than me, which makes her 79 this year. As per usual, we all went out to eat at a restaurant eating up two big tables to accomodate all the relatives. My cousins are all growing up so quickly... I love the two youngest ones - they're so adorable. I've been sitting at the kid's table for so long I haven't actually had a chance to try out any of the symbolic dishes associated with New Year's for a long long time. Oh well, lol. At the end, my grandma treated everyone to longevity buns and I surprised her with a cake. Hooray!

Anyways, Chinese New Year doesn't officially start until Sunday. With that in mind, I want to go to the temple but I know it's going to be crazy packed... especially at night on the first day. I just want to pay my respects and visit the oracle/fortune teller with those fortune sticks. Ah well, I probably won't go right away... I haven't been there for so long.

street fighter, yo

Where's zangief?
The sad thing is - I've probably seen this move in Cantonese waaaaaay back in the day, lol
Thanks Beaty!

Goodbye Stanley

I have no clue how this guy thinks of the PBF comic strip... it's utter genius!

Hmm hmm

Out of curiosity, does it really matter with whom or how many people your significant other has slept in the past despite being completely clean and healthy? To me, I find there’s still a heavy stigma attached to girls who sleep around with a more than one sexual partner - they’re automatically deemed a loose bag, a diseased whore and a second rate human. In contrast, if a guy sleeps around he’s just more of a man with more experience under his belt. Can I smell bullshit? Your cooch isn’t going to get tighter and your dick isn’t going to get bigger by thinking like that. Jeebus.


>: (

"I know he's not mine. But I love him anyways."

Will you help me build steam with a grain of salt?

I no longer have secrets to hide or jealousies to confront. It's all kind of fruitless, y'know? I have to admit, I've treated some guys to lunch or coffee/hot chocolate at school or been treated for dinner a couple of times. They were all sweet in their own respects but I guess I 've only gone that way to get some perspective on where I stand right now. When I sit down and think about it, I never sought out male company for the purpose of finding a click, spark or an excuse to leave what I'm in now. I guess it's stupid to get frustrated over the fact I can't commit to what I truly want due to circumstances beyond my control. But that's part of my life.

I have no regrets and I'm happy with life thus far. I shouldn't have to question or be left in wonder because I trust him. Relationship dynamics change I guess. Above all, despite how greedy this sounds, you've gotta be honest to yourself.

vote, bitches <3

ummm, the Conservative Party doesn't sound too welcoming.
They're saying the Liberals are corrupt... and the Tory Mulroney government wasn't?

I'm voting for Canada, not a U.S.-Canada.

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a ballerina.
(I miss the crunch of the yellow rock sugar on the wooden dance floors)

Sgt. Grumbles, is that you?

I feel like bombarding everyone with images of unbearably cute things that I found on this site.

I bought a lappy today but it won't come in until Tuesday. My mom decided to accompany me but only ended up causing a huge stir at the store and left me leaving in tears. Ah well, I did nothing wrong and it's my goddamn money. I didn't want her berating and putting down the salesperson leaving him almost in tears (lol, poor dude) so I got frustrated and spoke against her crap. Christ. If you're raised by (traditional-thinking) Asian parents, you know that speaking against them will only stir up more shit, yelling and swearing.




Anyways, I need to get my crap together again and set up some sort of schedule or routine to follow. Kyle's blasted off to Cuba so I hope he has a lot of fun down there. lol, maybe come back bronzed, blonde and sporting corn-rows.
:P







In other news, the grandmother of one of the girls I tutor knit me little booties. Ahhhh! They're so cute and warm. I feel like knitting now!

These two make me smile
:)

hooray for gst returns

And go little cute fire thing, go!
Anyways, broomball tournament this thursday night and I'm kinda excited. I have no protective gear but I am so going to borrow Gabe's cup (it's not going to protect anything but it'll be classy and cool). I'm just short on a helmet :S

Furthermore, I'm determined to get my fat butt into the gym again so I'll start tomorrow. I will acquire a pair of whore boots one day!
*old man fist shake*


And ultimately one day I'll post up nude ambiguous pictures of myself like Raymi and call it art. But that will probably never happen.

Jane out.

k, thx.

Man, I don't remember ever being this obnoxious and anal retentive when I was 13... I'd skin myself alive if I were. GAWD!

"just hold on tight. close your eyes. and try damn hard not to think about yesterday"

I just don't want to end up interrogating
Because Heather's like sunday.

I got Gabriel a sweater today to look like a suh-weet political science intellectual (extreme plus) coupled with the glasses and book in hand. *melt* He also beat the frickin' sun and moon level from Kirby 2 and I'm just beaming.

Other highlights for the day... I peed on the sidewalk an hour ago.
I went clubbing for the first time at some place called Plush... it was okay I suppose. I just reek afterwards and have a huge homesickness for the G, a hot bath and maybe a good mystery novel. I also feel like baking shortbread cookies and making a huge garlic pepper beef roast with homemade gravy.

Question of the day (I need input): Is sex with socks on hot or not?

Bettie Page: old school

Confession: I'm honestly cheap and tasteless.
I also lack substance and femininity.
