^ that's what it said on this really cute tshirt i was going to get! but jasper said the words were all over the place and nobody would understand it and they'd just stare in confusion .. so i guess it would be nice to spare people from mind-boggling confusion. but i swear im going to go back and buy it soon! im usually not much of a tshirt person, but it says exactly how i feel! bwahaha but really, isnt that line just pure wit? ;) love it.

random stuff coming up.

so i have always had a tendency to cook. i love cooking, how different things come together to make something SUPER YUMMY.. think Ratatouille. luckily for me, i have someone who never fails to enjoy what i make, so i make food endlessly everytime i go over :) bwahhaha. thing is, i hate baking. i dont believe in doing all that mixing and then throwing sth into the oven and waiting an hour to see if it "worked". but anyway i went against my beliefs and made b a cheesecake as a "welcome home!" present. and also bc we both love cheesecake with a passion. here's the result.

yummy right?! it was blueberry! anyway it was a success, and it was actually really good!! (i was so relieved) maybe baking isnt too bad. but important thing, B loved it hehe and my family did too. so im very pleased. <3

second, i went to this leadership retreat at uc in UofT, and we had to stay overnight. uc is co-ed, even in bathrooms, so there was this laminated poster on the door of the shower, which basically said "horny? use cooler water when you take the shower bc it saves energy" .. if you get my drift. i nearly threw up. must it be advertised? anyway, i didnt shower that night. gross. you see, this is why i never wanted to live on res.

now im sleepy and im not gonna write about everything i wanted to, but i'll end on this note: i love the new girlicious album!! the songs are so cute.. my b o o * . go youtube them!

ever know a song so well backwards and forwards that you practically memorized all the lyrics, every lick and nuance of it? i didnt think i had one, until i listened to the radio last night. they started playing a wayback playback - 'i wanna know' by joe. this song is such an oldie.. i used to listen to it day and night back in grade 7? and i was surprised at how well i knew the song. anyway, i just realized how fast time passed by, and how some things can never change through time.

songs are sentimental; music seems to be able to record moments of your life -- all your emotions, thoughts, ideas. memories you thought youve forgotten comes flooding back, and events that seem a thousand years ago feel like ysterdays news.

anyway, that was just a random thought. dinner time for me

p.s. i found all my oldies after hearing this song, and i cant wait to post them all up. :)

if i could be your angel
protect you from the pain
i'll keep you safe from danger
you'll never hurt again
i'll be your a-n-g-e-l.

Sick like a Hello Kitty Cat

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:01:54 GMT

So I finally finished playing the Nintendo DS game "Professor Layton and the Curious Village".. it had a pretty touching ending and it was very fun. :) But I needed some new games.. so I started searching and I came across this interesting one..

Hello Kitty no Panda Sport Stadium.. doesn't it look fun?

But then I got thinking.. whats with this Hello Kitty phenomenon these days? Why is everyone so crazy about Hello Kitty? Turns out she's got her own profile :P

Name: Kitty White

Birthday: November 1, 1974

Blood type: A (Negative)

Place of birth: Suburban London

Height: That of five apples

Weight: That of three shiny apples

Good at: Baking cookies, International Studies, Making pancakes for friends, Origami, bows

Favorite food: Apple pie made by Mama (A.K.A. mum or Mary)

Hobbies: Traveling, music, reading, eating yummy cookies her sister Mimmy bakes, and best of all making new friends.

Favorite word: "Friendship", "best"

Collects: Small cute things like sweets, stars, goldfish, etc.

Best school subjects: English, French, history, music, visual arts.

Description: A bright and kind-hearted kitten. Very close to her twin sister Mimmy.

Since I was young, I've loved Hello Kitty as much as the next girl, but as I grew up, it's as if they started taking over the world.. there's a Hello Kitty version of almost everything in existence!! For example, take a look at this:

NEC Hello Kitty laptop

Comes in pink and black. Small 100GB harddrive, 1GB memory, an "unnamed processor" (well.. its not well-known at least).. but boasts 299 Swarovski crystals!!.. hehe, so luxe, but i'll take my vaio over this any day. ;)

I had the best laugh looking up all things Hello Kitty. I mean for goodness's sakes, there are Hello Kitty USB Foot Warmers!! But the weirdest part is.. people still buy into all of it! Don't get me wrong, I think Hello Kitty is absolutely adorable, but sometimes I think some of its products may be crossing the line.. into the men's department. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself. :P

Hello Kitty Skype Phone

Incredibly techy.. but even I need one of these. Ever since the boyfriend went back to HK, I've had to download Skype hahhaa. At least I can talk in style.

Hello Kitty Boxers for MEN

As seen in a Japanese catalog... I don't even know how to describe this.

Hello Kitty Bicycle Tires

I guess you can roll through puddles now and leave Hello Kitty love all over the dry sidewalks. :) Well, it's kind of cute.

Hello Kitty Exhaust Pipe

GOODNESS... is this really NECESSARY? Seriously!! (Okay, admit it, we'd all want that on our cars too! )

and Hello Kitty Pet Apparel.

Can you believe it? A real life Hello Kitty Cat! Hahaha.. I nearly died of its cuteness! And look.. they have one for dogs too! I think Ginger could really use one... he'd look rather dashing, dont you agree?

Haha.. so we can conclude.. the world is Hello Kitty crazy. Esp in Japan, the Hello Kitty Cafes? But this website nearly killed me. So it's bad enough for us bypassers looking at all the Hello Kitty fanatics go crazy with their collectables.. but how about the men in their lives?

Take a look at this: Hello Kitty Hell.

It's a blog by a man who's married to a Hello Kitty fanatic. I had so much fun reading his posts and daily encounters with our beloved feline. Hahaha..

P.S. I'm currently down with a fever and severe throat infection... sick like a dog. Or should I say sick like a cat. A Hello Kitty Cat.

Take care everyone :)

Mamma Mia!

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:07:07 GMT

I always knew I was different, but I didn't think it was THAT noticeable... I decided to watch mamma mia the day it came out ... the same day the dark knight came out! (I know, shocking right?? Mamma Mia > Dark Knight? I bumped into alot of ppl and I got some looks hahaha) But none of that matters as I absolutely loved mamma mia! My parents used to play ABBA all the time, and I grew up listening to "dancing queen", "mamma mia", and the likes. So seeing it on the big screen was really.. amazing! Meryl Streep was fantastic in this movie, no wonder she's such a golden globe winner. And I must say, I was really surprised with Amanda Seyfried (recall the dumb blonde from Mean Girls?); she was surprisingly good, and much prettier in this movie. Mean Girls really downplayed her. But it was honestly such a good movie, I left the theatre singing and dancing =)

Lately, I'm really into reading food blogs and food websites.. finding really good recipes to try out and just looking at the yummy photos.. does anyone else do this?!

Now for some picture fun..

Ginger and his new friend, Burgerbutt hehe. :)
(look how tiny she is compared to ginger!! ♥)

A picture I took one day.. look at the clouds! =)

TTFN, ta ta for now.

Summer!

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 04:33:52 GMT

this summer's been turning out great, some times better than others (i'll get to that a little later) , but needless to say its been 2 weeks already !! ...

so the day after grad, B throws me my surprise bday party (i think i was more stunned than shocked, but same difference right?) it was also the day i got my haircut. i was pretty nervous about it already, and i didnt expect everyone to see it, but it seemed to have a pretty good reaction =) anyway, irene u need to send me pix! hehe :P

i also went to my commerce academic orientation a week ago and that place is reeeallly nice haha, like very futuristically designed. it was also my first time going dt myself and walking around trying to find that place in that huge (but nice) campus :$ anyway, i made some friends there, so that was really nice :) at least i know PEOPLE in my program now!

i think it was a week ago also? well... i got myself into a very little car accident (which was of absolutely NO FAULT of my own) but it was soo stressfull... i was just , yelling inside my head "WHAT DID I EVER DO WRONG TO DESERVE THIS", "CANT YOU SEE THE CAR, RIGHT THERE" and mostly "WHYYY MEE?! IM A GOOD PERSON" .. -__-" needless to say, after lots of license copying, contact numbers exchanged, i learned a fundamental lesson about driving .....
there are very bad drivers out there. :(

me and bobo the destroyer,
my bday present from B
- B named him ;) -
btw, short hair!! :D

A Little This, A Little That

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:02:43 GMT

Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the
life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world
you desire can be one. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours.

I dedicate this to everyone i know that's graduating this year. High school seems too fast to have truly happened. I wished I really knew how fast it would actually be; i wish i realized the reality of graduation a bit earlier than now, just so i really understand how each and every single person who was ever close to me really changed me. i know i may not see many of these people in the future, but i just wanna say thanks for whatever impact you had on me.

There are alot of thoughts in my head now... just everything's making sense or coming together. This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions... and after all this, i think i'm finally learning something. I feel like im learning alot about life and about people... like how some people like to appear all high and mighty but deep down inside, they're just like everyone one of us, if not worse. hypocrites; like how some people never see their own flaws yet point fingers; like how being happy comes not from another person, but ultimately yourself. there are just so many things i'm finally realizing now that i feel are so important, and all the pettiness from high school doesn't even matter any more.

last of all, thank you for everything. for everything we've been through, for everything we'll go through. things are never easy for you, but youre always there for it all. you're always there for me..
i love you.
it's like a best friend but more--
it's the one person in the world who knows you better
than anyone else. that someone who makes you be
a better person. no, actually they don't make you a better
person; you do that by yourself because they inspire you.
a soul mate is someone you carry with you forever. it's one
person who knew you, accepted you and believed in you
before anyone else did or when no one else would. and
no matter what happens, you'll always love them and
nothing could ever change that.
-Dawson's Creek

It's difficult to be considerate when the world isn't being considerate towards you.

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:23:03 GMT

after all this time, i think i learned this well enough: you really don't matter. ive had my share of bad pressure and attitudes. all im saying is that petty people like you really dont matter to me anymore. i know what i need and i know what i want; and i have both of that. so save your wasted efforts -- youre not changing anyone.

im in no mood now. today has been an emotional rollercoaster. i DETEST finding things out relating to me from someone else. especially from a few people. its something that reallly pisses me off. at least tell me to my face. and for all i care ... i agree.

it was sad. today started out really well. and i think i did pretty well on my oedipus essay test. :) today was not a total loss though, i went to the mall with my parents and got flats. :) i had a really good talk with my parents today, regarding what happened today and universities. so that was alright -- my day evened out i think.

oh yea, having no computer and using my sister's when shes not busy is not exactly the greatest thing. blahhh, but im sure there are worse things in life. trying to stay on the greener side of the grass.. where i belong. :)
stay happy

ps: i cant wait for made of honor (out on may 2.) cutest thing ever!!

Always behave like a duck. Keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddle like hell underwater.

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 01:18:05 GMT

this has not been a good week. well it wasn't bad. but it certainly wasn't "good". everything good and bad seemed to combine together into this fantabulous week. =\ i really didn't get enough sleep this whole week because of all the work i had (not to mention the procrastination factor of this). so needless to say, i had no energy this whole week. pms doesn't help, esp when youre frustrated enough already. when marks don't turn out right and assignments not fulfilling your expectations, it's kinda hard on you, esp with university acceptances coming up. i finally found out the reason why i haven't been getting acceptances lately: they dont have my english mark. which makes sense, bc they have to check my eng mark before admitting me or whatever, but that just puts more pressure on my marks this upcoming report card.

i am, however, pretty psyched that my parents let me drive on my own at night on thursday, literacy test day. which was pretty cooool. instead of waiting for a ride, i just went "okay, see you guys" and walked over to my car. that's right, MY car. ahhaha, idk i felt pretty happy afterwards. actually that whole day was good seeing as i skipped the whole day and went shopping and bbt. yum. so i am very thankful for that.

prom... i am honestly thinking about doing my own makeup, for a few reasons. i guess i dont really trust those "salons" bc im afraid they wont know what style i like. second, im not really sure i wanna pay someone to do something i could honestly do myself with a bit of practice. i'd rather use my money to buy some really nice eyeshadow and just experiment until i get sth i like. that way, i learn sth too. but idk.. this is all just thinking. and the hair i originally thought i'd do.. im not gonna do that now. -_-" so gotta think of a new one.

booo you english journals :(

Busy busy

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:42:41 GMT

This has been a really busy month. Alot of things have happened, and lots of things came into realization too. So here are some things that have been on my mind for awhile.

- Page 10 of 9. I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. Something inside me told me to check the very last page, "just in case". And there you have it, in printed text, Page 10 of 9. I don't know. For a second, I thought it was a joke. I even asked Mr. Lam, and he gave me a funny look. Worst thing is, I saw that page with 5 minutes left of the exam. I still had that adjustments question that didn't make any sense. And obviously, I made mistakes on both. All in all, it was frustrating, because that's not really fair in my opinion. I know I should've checked all the pages at the beginning, but if they say 9 pages, you expect 9 pages. That's just my view on it.

- It's funny. I'm actually studying for my exams this year. Like reealllyy study, not just saying I'm studying and then procrastinating, or reading a magazine, or whatever else I normally do.

- 27 Dresses is a VERY good movie in my opinion. Critics never know what they're talking about.

- Think before you talk. Actually, think twice before you talk. Think twice before you tell someone they're wrong. Think twice before you make someone feel stupid and act all high and mighty. Think twice, because there's a big chance I'm actually right. Think twice before you make a fool of yourself.

- Thanks for the support. Really, I appreciate it. -__-"

- I like cafes that have an "art-deco" kinda feel to it. You know those small little restaurants where every place you sit is different from another. Their interior looks very mismatched, yet it works. Like they would have a random painting and then a mirror beside it. And then you see a streetlamp in there, and cozy couches, with candles lit everywhere. I always thought that it looks sooooo easy to design a place like that, that maybe even I could do it. But obviously it'd turn out horribly wrong b/c there's a rule or a specific way to create that I think. I dont know, but I think I just found my new favourite place. =)

- Semester 2's starting in a week. In a way, I'm excited for it. I think it's time for a change. Being with the same people for 5 months is quite a long time, if you ask me.

- PMS never helped anybody. Nor is it helping me.

T___T"
Nooowwwww, it's back to studying for me
