| I think this is the year that I'm going to experience the most change so far... - A new addition to the family (my nephew, Nathan Christopher - born on Friday, February 23rd)
Time is moving too fast. Somebody please make it stop... | | |
| At the brink of the Lunar New Year, everyone around me seems so cheerful. I'm trying to be on my best behaviour around my parents and not anger them at this time of year, but sometimes just sucking up my crankiness isn't all that easy. I feel guilty giving them attitude...I know they mean well, but most of them time it just comes off as annoying. You probably all know what I mean...and I can't help but sometimes take out my bad days on them because they're "there". But seriously, trying my best...
And just because someone wants a break, doesn't mean they're entitled to one...we're not 14 anymore. Deal with it like an adult. Don't neglect someone and treat someone the way you feel like because you're pissed. I'm not perfect and I have my moments...but not gonna take this crap...

| The start to 2006 was a bit shaky, but it progressed. I questioned a lot of things...my future, the people whom I want in my life, and myself. Although I don't have a strong grasp of how I envision my future, I am a little more certain of the things I want and the people I trust and want in my life. It's time to get of rid the negative energy because I'm tired of pretending like I care. Some people don't, so why should I? I'll be nice, but I can't be fake. Same resolutions as the previous years, but I'll need to work on a few things a little harder this year - my patience and my so-called "attitude" that my parents say I have. Those who know me also know that I'm quite the "worrier". Well, it's not easy being care-free, but little steps I will take indeed. I could use a little less stress on my plate. On a more positive note, it's been a great start! Looking forward to the birth of my nephew in about a month. Wishing you a happy and safe New Year! | | |
| So I've officially been done since last Thursday. Thankfully. So it's all work now, but the days seem to go by pretty quickly anyway. The entire department is being treated to a buffet lunch at the Mandarin tomorrow, so it's time to get those buffet pants ready! I love the holiday season...I'm excited for all the good food and baked goods....yummo!  I've finally re-started the gym routine, so hopefully I won't gain as much holiday weight as I usually do. I can't control myself when there's good food around...I take it quite seriously as a matter of fact! Haha! So many great things to look forward to in the following week towards Christmas. Two company parties, open bar, hot pot, gift exchanges, and of course, Grey's Anatomy (my new found addiction). It's all good!  BMV is selling Grey's Anatomy (second season) for $39.99 or I could rent it from Queen Video for $10 a week. If I buy, I'm not ever going to watch it again. I'm not the type to re-watch my DVDs. If I rent, I don't know whether I can finish 25 episodes in a week. Which is the better option? Think economically. I also recently joined the table tennis league at work. I'm looking to kick some butt! I'm 1-1 so far...my reputation is on the line. Jeez, I didn't realize they took it so seriously. The ones in the advanced division can get pretty competitive! I hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays filled with joy, happiness, and of course, awesome food! Christmas Countdown: 12 days remaining | | |
| Kimmie, Hope you enjoyed the weekend! It was definitely nice to see you, even though it was for such a short time. You sure gave me quite the surprise!!! The girl tricked me! She asked me all these questions about my courses, thinking she was just asking out of curiousity. Turns out she was trying to get some info. to find me at school!!! SNEAKY! So she randomly bumps into Jess on the TTC and they both come to look for me. Jess innocently calls me right after class and I'm thinking "We never made study plans, how come she's here?" So I wait for Jess by the elevator since it's a new building and all and she's not familiar with it...OUT POPS KIM FROM THE ELEVATOR!!! I literally looked like this -->  and said "WTF?!" That probably wasn't the ideal reaction, but I was stunned and at a loss of words. We will see you soon enough!!!
I just finished my essay. It was absolutely the hardest assignment I have ever had...honest! It's a breath of relief and at the same time, I'm worried about the mark I'm gonna get. Say bye-bye to teacher's college now b/c this course is going to bring down my GPA. Crap. And Kim, you're right to wonder what's gotten into me. I never hand things in late and this is the second time in a week...the answer is that I've checked out mentally. I've just HAD it with school! So I started my volunteer tutoring sessions last week. I got assigned to two grade 7 girls. It's going to be an interesting school year. Makes me wish I was their age again...all they do is complain about teachers and talk about how weird their classmates are. If those were my greatest worries, I'd trade lives in an instant.
I'm so excited about Christmas, especially this year, that I might just go to the Santa Claus parade. Don't laugh...I know I'm 21, but it's been ages. It's just not the same as watching it on TV. And I'd rather do anything than homework.
I was on a stranger's xanga page and I came across a neat quote that shows how each and every one of us struggles to love and value ourselves. We first have to learn how to love and respect ourselves before we let that special someone into our lives. "The most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. If you find someone to love the you that you love, well, that's just fabulous"
