What a week...

So here I am,
In David Lam,
Trying hard to give a damn
About school.

Bah, I'm no poet...

Point is, my classes are done for this week, and yet it still feels like there's tons still left to do. I haven't started studying ANYTHING at all, I have to really try to finish my hw over the weekend and not pull near-allnighters, I need to practice for my yellow belt testing, I need to start learning how to play the drums, I gotta remind my sis to buy the movie tickets...

But I'd rather blog. Bah...

Oh, to note, my 299 class presentation went relatively well (I did it on that popsicle commercial I blogged about earlier, lol), but apparently we were supposed to cut out an ad and use that to present. Apparently other sections had different instructions, i.e. describe a tv ad, so my friends being in other sections said they just did tv ads, so I did the same. Don't think I lost marks, but I lost out on the "experience of working with a paper" or something like that...useful later w/ the overhead. Booo, it's over now, and I believe I did relatively well, so bah...

Anyways, I have about 4.5 hrs left to kill until the anime club thing (only gonna watch the first bit), so here's my plan: 1) Nap. 2) Study. 3) Internet. (wow, perhaps I have time for an explication, yes?? Hehe...)

Here's to procrastination, the beginning and the end to most of my life's problems. Bahhh, not that I'm complaning, heheh...

Until next time, I guess...

--> As told through the sheepish mind of an introverted extrovert. Bahhhhh....

Stoooooopid me...

Well, it's quarter to 2am, and once again I've yet to complete my marks...

Finding topics from about 10-12, setting everything up for about half an hour...then decided to take a "break", as in eat some sorbet watch some tv and surf the net...bad decision, 'cause I still have tons of work to do.

Okay, maybe not tons, but at 2am it's still a crapload more 'til I'm finished.

It's not like it's for that many marks though. It's worth 20% of a 1 credit course, so technically it's like 6.67 %. So, I shouldn't be worried over a crappy little thing.

Also, tomorrow I have a "presentation" tomorrow, of describing an ad I saw, for 1.5-2mins in length...I've decided to use the "my sock, my bone" commercial, just 'cause it's so friggin' awesome. Woo me and my doing other work to distract my main work...

In conclusion, procrastination sucks. Well, when you absolutely have to do work, it sure as hell does...

Until next time, I guess...

Mmmy Soooock.....Mmmy Booooone...

My Sock....

My Bone...........

HAHAHAHA!!!! Classic commercial that nobody else seems to freakin' remember...oh, Retrojunk, your awesomeness never ceases to amaze me...

Adventures in Wonderland

Haha, does anybody remember Adventures in Wonderland? The alice-in-wonderland show that personified the early 90's?? That show was freakin' awesome!!

I was searching through Retrojunk the past couple days (since Reuben etc. rekindled my interest in it), and I stumbled upon that show, and oh man I can't believe how 90's it is! I mean, the white rabbit's on rollerblades (w/ full protection), Alice wears this shoulderpad-esque jacket thing, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are freakin' M.C. Hammers...IT'S SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!

I especially remember getting the videos while I was younger, and I especially remember watching them while in the hospital...in the tv/vcr room, I searched through stacks and stacks of "kiddy" shows, ala dudley the dragon, and I was about to stop looking when lo and behold I found a huge pile of Adventures in Wonderland! Oh man, that was sooo awesome!!! I must've watched 16 episodes right there...

Wow, looking back, I was only in the hospital for maybe 4 days...not a lot of time, but man did it ever seem like forever...heheh, especially since I was still afraid of pills and they had to crush it into my milk and I forced the crapjuice down and chased it w/ cranberry juice...wow, I think it was then that I found out how awesome cranberry juice is...hmmm, this could also be around the time when I learned I liked tomato soup (smelled like zoodles) which then opened up my horizons to trying out new foods...no wait, that was the other hospital time...

.....

Wow. I really just rambled right there. I mean, I don't even remember typing those letters. My mind just wandered into infinity...2 hrs of sleep is definately not enough...hapkido tonight isn't helping the fatigue either, esp. since my adrenaline has finally worn off...man, if I wasn't testing next next sunday, I'd probably skip next wed.'s lesson, I mean it is the freakin' season opener of HOCKEY!!! HOCKEY HOCKEY!!!

.....

Okay, sorry for that. I shall stop.

Oh wait, before I sleep, gotta tell about today, how I actually saw smallville filming, as in heard the director yell "action!", and saw the camera + actors right there...right outside the freaking david lam library baby! Crazy cool...too bad it wasn't anybody I knew, heheh...if it were Allison Mack, I think I would've froze up, or something...

Heheh, I gotta watch my Smallville. Screw an extra 2 hrs of sleep. Heh.

Until next time, I guess...

12:30am timeout

Just a little break from HW for this brief but important announcement:

I have a celebrity crush on Allison Mack.



Yeah, not terribly intriguing, but this is my first celebrity crush since Christina Ricci in Casper when I was 11...now, when people ask "what celebrity do you like" etc type questions, I won't be all "uhhh...I don't know...Christina Ricci?? She was nice in Casper", then having to explain myself...lol.

Or wait, there was that brief time last last summer where I liked Lalaine, a.k.a. Miranda on Lizzy Maguire, a.k.a. the girl who hung herself in buffy season 7...but, that doesn't really count...

Heheh, anyways, they were filming Smallville today in front of the Angus building, and was told that some of the main characters were there...and dang, the thought of actually seeing Allison Mack was just awesome...although, I didn't get to see anyone in the end...oh well.

And yes, I still have about 3 or 4 hrs left to go on my hw, so blogging about something I realized yesterday isn't terribly productive...although, it seems to be keeping me sane...or opposite of, oh well...

But meh, here are some more shots of Allison Mack, a.k.a. Chloe from Smallville:



That should be good enough, haha...as you can probably tell, I love her smile...aweseomeee.

Until next time, I guess...

Another 3am hw night...

Once again, I've failed to manage my time wisely. It's about 11:30am right now, and I've got an online acct. test (1.5 hrs), accounting homework (1.5 hrs), quant. homework (1.5hrs), bus. comm. homework (technically due fri, but I've got no time wed. thurs.), so I've basically got my work cut out for me right now...

Plus, I've already scheduled a meeting w/ this christian group thing for noon, as in half an hour from now, so I'm assuming that plus busride would take about 3 hrs altogether...so, assuming I get home at 3, I need about 5 hrs to do my work.

Knowing me, I wont even start 'til 10. No wait, not 10...10 is when I'll get on the computer...no wait, 10 is usually busy, so I'll probably end up taking a shower at 10...no wait, shower's usually taken, so I'll probably watch sportsnet 'til 10:30, then shower 'til 11...then do my work.

That's not good...aw man, House is on tonight too...

Meaning, I gotta do as much work as I freaking can right now, at school. Too bad most of my freakin' books I left at home, stupid freaking me...

...yeah, kinda annoyed at myself right now, but meh, I guess this is just the fruits of my non-labour...

Hmmm, actually, the only thing right now I'm feeling is indifference. As in, I really don't seem to care at the moment. Hence the blogging instead of doing the little bit of hw I'd be able to do at school. I really should be doing work, instead of frittering away my time...

But that's not me. I'm lazy...but apparently not lazy enough to ramble on to alls of yous guys...oh well, by now 95% of readers have lost interest and stopped reading...heheh, perfect time to mention that my new girlfriend is freakin' hot...


...


...


BWAHAHAHA!!! Yeah right, I'm joking, no gf for me...

Yup. I've seemed to've run out of ideas to ramble on about. Sooo...

Until next time, I guess...

Too much smallville...

Wow. After going on the computer last night, I kinda went Smallville crazy. Well, I kinda watched 4 episodes in a row, then realized it was already 4, so I decided to watch another episode. And another. And then some commentary on the same episode I just watched. Then I realized it was nearly 6am. So I fell asleep.

Woke up around 1 today, ate some food, then watched a couple more episodes of Smallville. And by couple, I really mean 4. Plus one. Tooo much smallville...

So, I decided to make a list on You Know You've Watched Too Much Smallville When...

1. You decide to name your future daughter Chloe Allison Beaudry.
2.
3.

Yeah, I was too lazy to finish the rest of the list, but you get the idea...but man, whoever would rather go for Lana instead of Chloe is a freakin' tool...Clark's a freakin' nutbag for not realizing Chloe's perfect...

Heheh, I've even entertained fantasies about how the real Lois Lane dies, and Chloe has to assume her identity to get away from bad guys, therefore making the Lois Lane of superman's dreams actually Chloe, meaning Chloe is really the girl of Clark's dreams and just doesn't know it yet...

Yeah, my sister thinks I'm crazy...

But nevermind, I realized that I seem to have wasted the entire day/night with smallville instead of doing hw. Oh well...

Oh yes, I also watched the 3hrs of cartoons etc on fox tonight, and I've only got one thing to say:

STAR WARS KID WAS ON FREAKIN' AMERICAN DAD!!! AWESOME!!!

Until next time, I guess...

Saturday, September 24, 2005

Wow, 2 good movies in a row...

My goodness. I just watched a couple of the greatest movies ever.

The first movie I watched was I <3 Huckabees. Bernard was right, that was a friggin' awesome movie...I had no idea Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Mark Wahlberg, Naomi Watts, etc were in it, and as good as they were, the unknown (at least to me) lead character was pretty freakin' good too...the movie's about this guy who hires existentialist detectives, or something, to try to track down this guy's coincidence...really, a lot funnier and awesome than I'm making it sound...plus, Jude Law going crazy was pretty fun to watch too...

And after I watched that movie, I was searching through the channels, and lo and behold, another movie I heard was awesome was just starting...

The second movie I watched was Garden State. Hooooooly crap, what a friggin' awesome movie...incredibly, incredibly awesome...granted, the first say 15 minutes was total crap, but that just highlighted the "journey of self discovery" or whatever of the main character...and damn, that guy wrote, directed, and starred in that thing...that one just blew my mind, especially watching it right after such an existentialistic movie in I <3 Huckabees...damn good movie...oh, and as a plus, Natalie Portman never looked so hot...

Anyways, so that was my saturday night...was thinking of phoning some people up, but then I got lazy and watched the end of the football game...heh, lions finally lost, and yet I don't feel so bad...chalk it up to hockey madness, the canucks come back and everyone forgets about the lions...but I'm rambling, this post's about the awesomeness of the movies I just watched.

And nothing more.

Until next time, I guess...

Faculty Joke

Haha, got this in a commerce e-mail:

Pickup line of the week
Submitted by: Spenser

To settle once and for all the dispute as to who's the smarter faculty, the UBC Admin hosted a space race between the Engineering and Commerce students to see who could get to Mars first and record some potentially lucrative data regarding the presence of rare metals. However, during a trial run, the Engineers discovered that a standard ballpoint pen didn't function in zero gravity. Secretly teaming up with the Science students, they spent six months and $3 million developing a super-pen that could work in zero-G, under water, upside-down, and in temperatures ranging from -50 to 300 Celsius.

The Commerce team brought a pencil.


Edit:

Just remembered another commerce-ish joke I heard from my Accounting instructor from both UBC and BCIT:

One day, the CEO of a company had a problem, he wanted to know the answer of 2 + 2. So, he then decided to ask people from every department.

He first asked the Head Engineer. He replied "the answer is 4.000".

He then asked the VP Marketing. She replied "the answer is 4, but for 3.99 it would sell better."

He then asked the Human Resource manager. She replied "well, it's 4, but if we all work together, we could make it 5, 6, or even 7!!"

He then asked the Chief Financial Officer. He replied "well, there's a 20% chance it's 3, a 70% chance it's 4, and a 10% chance it's 5. I say we go for it."

He then asked the Head Accountant. He replied swiftly, saying to the CEO "...come to my office. Now."

They both walked into the office. The Head Accountant quickly locked the door, pulled the curtains, unplugged the phone, turned up the radio, and answered the CEO's question: "so...what would you want it to be?"


--> (an accounting joke, yes, but hilarious nonetheless)

Nintendo Revolution...Controller??




Can this really be called a controller?!?! Now that's just odd...


I don't know you guys, playing a game with a remote control is really weirding me out...


Then again, I could see it growing on me...already, my weirdness is growing into axiety and anticipation...and, well, you can always count on 3rd party support for a more classic controller...not to mention the "rumor" that you could plug in your old controllers in the slot! Wooo, perfect-SNES-controller, I go!

Anyways, I was just surfing the net, and when I stumbled upon this contraption, it was a shock beyond belief...just had to blog about it...

So, what're your impressions about the Revolution's revolutionary "controller"??

Until next time, I guess...

I wanna go home...

Holy crap do I ever wanna go home and sleep...

Well, I've just had class from 10-5:30, only got <= 4 hrs of sleep, and I still have a group project to go off to...ugggg, group project...not a big fan of my group. However, at least there are leaders, which means delegation to me, which means I can just be quiet most of the time and it'll be all good, heh...

Oh well, at least I've got hapkido to look forward to tonight, hopefully my phone doesn't die on me and I'll be able to phone for a ride afterwards...

Until next time, I guess...

Things to do:

Things I must do before midnight:

1) Do online quiz for my accounting class.
2) E-mail contacts for various school-type functions and/or activities
3) Print out notes for Econ
4) Start Quant. hw

Chances of making the deadline - 27% (now 15%, since blogging took too long)


Things I have to do before/by Wednesday:

1) Accounting Homework
2) Quantitative Analysis Homework (much harder actually)
3) Extend Hapkido lessons (i.e. pay the man)
4) Organize binder, gather supplies, etc.
5) Start reading textbooks.

Chances of success - 72%

Things to get done eventually:

1) Write explications of songs I like.
2) Finish watching Smallville episodes I started in the summer.
3) Swim.
4) Going in my backyard. Any reason would suffice.
5) Get my yellow belt.
6) Get a part time job.
7) Find a routine that isn't as draining as my current sleep at 2 wake up at 7 deally.
8) [Edit] Organize music on my comp. I've been putting this off for years.
9) [Edit #2] Gather old notes of classes I'm retaking.

Chances of success - 54%

It's just so much easier when everything is right in front of me like this. I'm sure I've missed something. Also, I nearly forgot about my 290 (quant) hw for a bit there...that would've sucked...

But man, I really wanna write, something non-academic (or, at least not forced). Also, ever since my sister got into sudoku, I've been starting to get hooked; first actual one today. According to metro, I'm a scholar. What a joke...

Until next time, I guess...

I'm so lazy...

I wanted to do so much today--such as ultimate, aikido, and canucks "game"--but instead, I just sat around, watched tv, played computer, and pretty much wasted my entire day away.

Why? I don't know...I guess I'm falling back into bad habits again.

Also, I have a bit of hw to do still, yet I havent done it yet. Stupid me.

Oh, and as a sidenote, about 5 minutes ago, I made a blog solely dedicated to my personal explications of songs that are pleasing to my ear. Nothing written yet, hence the lack of a link to it, but I thought I might as well make one now, as an incentive to be a little more mentally active on days like today.

We'll see how that little project goes...

Until next time, I guess...

Saturday, September 17, 2005

Hmmm...

I want a haircut.

Then again, I wouldn't mind growing it out for the winter, like I've been wanting to for the past 3 years...

I wanna have my long-ish hair again, like in the nineties...w/ the part in the middle, w/ an undercut...heheh, that'd be awesome...

But right now my hair looks like a mess. Sacrifices, I guess...

What a night...

Well, it's been quite eventful since last I blogged, only a mere 8 hrs ago...

I spent a good hour w/ the yahoo hockey pool thing I'm in, then I actually finished my accounting hw due monday (woo!), and by that time it was time to go to Ninjutsu...

And yes, it is what you're thinking, for Ninjas are practicioners of Ninjutsu...however, today's class was incredibly opposite to tuesday's hapkido, in that it seemed far too informal...also, this guys focus is on self defence, so no fancy summersaults or anything like that. One thing that I thought was pretty cool, lots of the moves he showed us were pretty much the same as Hapkido...if not inferior versions, if I may be so biased, lol...but really, it seemed nice, but I'd rather stick to my Hapkido in richmond...

Also of note, I was partnered up w/ this tall blonde girl, who was skinny (but not stick skinny), but had rather large breasts. Now, unlike most of you horn dogs out there, I didn't really care all too much for all this (isn't really my type), but it did make me rather uncomfortable. Especially, ESPECIALLY since it was mostly grappling, which basically meant grabbing your opponent's shirt. Not only that, but when you grabbed your opponents hand (which is grabbing onto your shirt), you twist their arm around such that it's locked w/ your arm, in which you then grab their shirt. In all this, you pretty much have to reach around their chest, so needless to say I felt like I was freakin' groping her all the time...quite unnerving and akward...I tried my best not to, but it was hilarious when the instructor demonstrated the move w/ her, and he just didn't care about any of that and just reached around...lol, she was quite surprised...

Anyways, I just thought that was kinda funny...and that wasn't even the half of my evening...

So after Ninjutsu it was 6, which meant it was time for that single participant meeting for ultimate. But actually, all it was was this sign-up paper thing, and just asking the guy questions. Turns out ultimate's on sat. & sun., so I'm gonna have to tell my team that I'm not available on saturdays...nuts.

Well, after this fiasco (& after staying for about 15mins longer than I wanted), I decided to go to this free dinner thing w/ some christian club. Sounded interesting, and free food is always good...or so I thought. When I got there, I was freakin' starving, but as I got closer too the food, I realized something. There was this chinese curry thing that looked really good, but lo and behold, it was made w/ frickin' pork...stupid everything. So, next on the menu was this potato salad, which didn't look that appetizing, but at this point I was starved, so I'd eat anything. Well, I guess not anything, since the freakin' potato salad was made with freakin' shrimp! The only things left were rice and gai-lan, so I took what I could and ate...sooooo not good. I told the girls at the door that I had to leave, gave my explanation (w/ being a sevy), and left. Told them I'd do bible study / small group thing, so they didn't seem to mind. And yes, I didn't check those boxes off just to get away, I really wouldn't mind going...

So, after this, I decided to just bus home. Well, the last 480 had just gone, and there were no 41's around a la Reuben's suggestion, so I took the 99 once again. Now, it seemed like any other busride, but w/ the night I was having, of course it wasn't. Who other do I see than Yoyo, from McNair! I haven't talked to the guy in ages...Which reminds me also, I saw Manveer this morning on the bus to UBC! Ah, 'tis a small world inside the UBC bubble...

Anyways, Yoyo and I went on the 98 into richmond...but this is where the really crazy thing happens. Now, we were talking about UBC, and this girl started talking to us, about how we're all in UBC, which busses are best for what...it turns out that she went to McRoberts, which is pretty cool I guess...name I believe is Genie, or Ginny, or something...anyways, she's in 1st year commerce...

So, the bus driver does the whole "move to the back please" thing, so we all move to the back, or so I thought, 'cause it turns out Yoyo just stayed where he was, leaving me and Ginny to talk by ourselves for a bit (which is when I found out her name, etc). But MAN, I never just talk to people on the bus, out of the blue! That's just crazy! Plus, she started talking w/ her other friends that coincidently was also on the bus, so it was this whole conversation thing...pretty cool.

So, I might as well answer the question that'll inevitably be raised...So, is she hot? Well, here's the story. While waiting for the bus stop, I saw her waiting too. However, she's this really young-looking asian, so I thought that she was still in high school or something, but since there's no highschools around, I thought she could be in university...but, at that time, she seem waaaay younger than university...anyways, after the whole moving-to-the-back and started talking, I found out she went to ubc, then BANG!!! Instant physical attractiveness...not to mention having a complete conversation, which basically never happens...ability to talk to, major points w/ me...not to mention how I love asian girls who speak clearly...anyways, she's in commerce and hangs around the CG lounge a lot, so I'll probably end up seeing her again...not that I'd wanna date her though, since I don't see myself going out w/ such an outgoing person...I'm afraid I'll get waaay to jealous...but I'm rambling...

Oh yeah! In all this commotion, I forgot to mention that I saw Jined too! Yeah, we ended up talking for a bit too until we all got off at Richmond Center. Needless to say, this was the craziest awesome busride ever...

So, after I got off at Richmond center, everyone basically went away...I could've gone w/ Jined, 'cause his bus goes by 4 and williams, but I didn't feel like taking the chance...however, after he left for the other bay, I realized that I should've, since the 404 wouldn't come for another 25 mins. So, realizing my folly, I decided to be a little more adventurous, taking the 403 to 4 and steveston...now, in my infinite wisdom, I just thought I'd take the 404 down to my place...stupid me, I'd have to wait another 20 mins for that...so, I said screw it, I'll just walk...so after walking down 4 road, through my old school, through the darkened field to the back alleyway through the sidestreets, I was home. Beautiful night for a walk though...and man, what a night it was...

Anyways, in conclusion to this crazy night, I have realized something quite grand: when good things happen to me, I blog. Like crazy. Like today. Man, I wrote way too much...

Until next time, I guess...

This computer sucks...

Well, I'm in the David Lam library right now, in the COMM students only lab, and man these computers are just horrible...slow, jerky, keyboard's all messed, not to mention the horribly horribly sticky mouse...

That being said, at least I gots myself a computer...stupid overcrowding around lunchtime...

Anyways, I'm gonna be off to Ninjutsu today at 4:30, in less than 3 hrs, so hopefully that'll be enjoyable...afterwards, I'll probably go to the single-participant meeting thing at the SRC for Ultimate, since I have yet to find myself a team...then, after that (hoping that it isn't terribly long or what not), I'll probably head over to the free dinner / christian recruitment thingy, hopefully that'll be interesting (as well as delicious, lol...).

My class finished at 11:30. It is now past 1:30. This means that I've completely wasted the past 2 hours wandering campus...be it reading dinky newspapers, found out about the accounting club and AIESEC (or something), searching the net for hockey news, watching this spanish band thing near the Chan centre (actually quite kickass, but only heard 1 song before they took a break, so I decided to leave), or most recently look up stuff about Heroes V and the upcoming beta. The upcoming beta...

Alls I've gotta say is HOLY CRAP THIS SUCKS...it's gonna be multiplayer only, which I'm not particularly fond of, and even worse is that the system requirements are freakin' HIGH!! Well, relatively speaking, though...

System Requirements: For the beta test version, we're aiming at a P4 2Ghz, with 512mo of ram, and an ATI 9700 or Ge5600 videocard.

HOOOOLY CRAP!!! This is like super rediculously high...I mean, even my sister's "new" comp isn't this fast...see, if it was single player, I wouldn't give a crap and play w/ my 0.5 fps, but since it's multiplayer only, this'll never happen...this sucks...

I'm assuming that by the time the game comes out, I'll have a fairly good computer, meaning that the "remember, this isn't the requirements for the final game" statement isn't really dulling the fact that I probably won't be able to play the beta, even if I have been blessed with an acceptance. Boooo....

Anyways, that's about it. Now, in the next few hours or so 'til Ninjutsu, I'll probably set up the order I want for my hockey pool draft, read a bit of my (text)book, perhaps do some homework, and maybe, just maybe, SLEEP!!! I do miss the days of sleeping for hours in the stacks of BCIT...but now I don't have my chrismas musical cd with me, so it just won't be the same...

Until next time, I guess...

What a day...

Well, it was one crazy day today...

First off, when I went outside, holy crap it was freakin' smokey...stupid burns bog fire...

Listened to RBF internet/live cover cd again on the bus...hahaha, man it's awesomeness rolled around in funny...I'm especially fond of the "there is nothing like a dame" song, plus that weird talking thingy about punk rock carl...punk rock carl!

Anyways, went to class, once again it was shortened...but man, this class is sooo incredibly boring...it's all on powerpoint...been dozing off in class, also the girl next to me, and it's so bad since we're in the front row...heheh, yes, that girl...

So, at 11, I went to the CG lounge to pick up my locker and agenda...so, nearly an hour of waiting in line, I received my locker. Actually, while waiting in line, I saw Mabel, so I bought her ob textbook while waiting in line, lol...so yeah, my lockers right in the middle of Angus, and rather close to the entrance to David Lam, so I'm relatively happy.

Anyways, I went and got my free burger, and after many a sesame-picking, I went to the hill place near the sub and ate it...good music, some girl-lead rock band (does anyone know who it was? they were awesome!). Anyways, I met Alan there, so we hung out for a bit, walked around campus (down to the engineering side, where I haven't gone since before summer, so it was a nice stroll through memory lane, so to speak...). Anyways, we decided to meet later to hang out, for tonight I wanted to go to the free Hapkido thing, and I asked Alan if he wanted to come along as well...

So, he went off to class (it now being around 2), and I went off to do some hw in the library...so, after a few hours of reading the papers and looking through the UBC Rec guide, I started my hw...rediculously easy, but also rediculously long, but worst of all rediculously unnecessary towards becoming an accountant...yeah, foundation and whatnot, whatever...

After finishing off my Acc hw, I waited in front of the Koerner. And waited, and waited. Apparently Alan's lab took longer than expected, which was okay w/ me since I ended up doing some OB hw...perhaps I shall someday blog all those personality test things from the text...

Anyways, we went to Alan's place after meeting, so we bussed to 12th and burrard, hung out, I had some dinner (actually my packed lunch), then we bussed back to UBC for some free Hapkido. Hapkido.........

HOLY CRAP, WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY?! I mean, this class was just rediculously hard...not only that, but the instructor is incredibly rude-ish, and it seems like he just wants to create an army of killing machines...okay, well I might be exaggerating, but holy crap...my first bone of contention is the fact that he was incredibly rude to the students, "well, if you're feeling too tired, the door's right there...no seriously, just leave." My next thing is that he only seems to want top atheletes to train. I mean, we did assloads of super-insanely-intense exercises, I'm thinking to weed out the non-athletic types from joining up. What an ass-muncher. Besides, his teaching style-ness seems completely different from Master Lok's, the only freakin' certified guy in NA (or something), and a lot of it seems rather useless, if not stupid...lastly, I saw the teacher looking at the mirror practicing his kicks & punches, and this was like white/yellow belt stuff, coincidently right in front of the door...and it wasn't even like he was doing it properly too, bending the legs while kicking, not blocking properly...I don't know, the class was in all honesty really bad...

I don't know, maybe I'm just finding ways to dislike that class or something...but really, it was unnecessarly intense, and the instructor really didn't seem that great. It sure gave me a new appreciation for Master Lok, that's for dang sure...

Anyways, after that fiasco, Alan and I went our separate ways home, (480 stops before 7?!)...so, on the busride home, I seemed to have lucked out in catching the 98 right after getting the 99...however, my luck ran out when I got to richmond center, since I had to wait 20mins 'til the 404 came around again. Although, weird thing, I saw Chris Walters tonight, going home on the 404, that was pretty cool...and, even weirder, while walking home I saw Haig driving from a sidestreet, so he picked me up and drove me from 4rd to my place...talked a bit, it was nice and such...just completely unexpected, haha...

So, after all this, I've been online for nearly 2 hrs (nearly midnight now), I'm physically tired but mentally wired, I havent eaten a proper dinner, I need a shower, and I still have to finish up some homework. Yay, me...

Until next time, I guess...

Returnage!

Man, am I ever glad I was able to return my OB text today...apparently they don't care that it wasn't shrinkwrapped...awesome!

Now, as to what I should do w/ my $60...well, I do owe my sister Smallville Season 4...heheh, yeah, present for my sis...we'll see, we'll see...

Oh yes, one more thing...isn't it annoying when you find someone who's seemingly perfect for you, then they say that their boyfriend something something? Quite annoying...especially since she said that she owed me a lunch...

Perhaps I was merely leading myself on...I did look rather grubby today...

Until next time, I guess...

Fun to Dumb. Like this lame title.

Well, saturday night was fun, being that it was Jakes party and all.

Hockey w/ a bunch of the guys first off was awesome, and man Mohsin was crazy in net. Then, off to Reubens so people could shower and what not. Then, nearly two hours late, we arrived at Jakes. And yes, that was quite fun. Wasn't expecting Leah there, so that was a nice surprise. The most notable thing that happened at the party? The awesome card games! 99 was incredibly fun...I mean, incredibly incredibly fun. We also played "cheat" and texas holdem, and although those games were fun, they didn't match up to the awesome 99. However, if we played papi (or however you spell it), I believe that would've been waaaay more awesome. If only I (or Gautam) could remember how to play...had to leave earlier than I wanted, since Moe wanted to go home. Understandable, but it kinda made me wanna have a car of my own. Oh well...

So in a nutshell, awesome party. Although, according to the stories of the shenanigans of last year's party, I don't know...there wasn't quite as much hoopla. Heheh...

Anyways, during the party I drank a bunch of coke, so when I got home I couldn't get to sleep. So, I decided to stay up on the comp. All night...man, did that ever mess up my system. So, today I woke up around noon, w/ around 5 hrs of sleep, not bothered to shower or anything. I was soooo lazy all day. Watched tv most of the day, alongside other time-killers, such as playing more comp. Which reminds me, no more Warcraft III. Stupid starting up the rpg map playing...

Could've gone to nibbles and bites today, but man I just couldn't get myself to go outside. Stupid, stupid me...already breaking my school year's resolutions...

Worst thing about today was that I didn't get any work done. I just wasn't really caring, at all...therefore, as of right now, I gotta get out of the house on sundays, most likely to a place of study (ex. UBC). I can't waste any more days like this, especially w/ school coming around and all that...

So here I am, wasting time blogging, which I was far to lazy to do all day, when I should be finishing off my student bio. I should've started reading my books, but alas it is far to late to be reading, lest I fall asleep.

Hmmm, my student bio is actually looking kinda interesting, perhaps I shall someday post it...

Oh yes, speaking of school, I'm kinda ticked off about something. Now, I have already bought all my books, but a friend of mine from McNair said she'd give her old ob text for about half price. I immediately jumped on the offer, but I had to qualify it, because I had to return my book first. I was just glad I didn't open the shrinkwrap yet...

However, when looking through my books today, it seems like my mom went through everything and placed them neatly in a pile. A nice gesture I guess, until I realized that she UNWRAPED ALL OF MY TEXTBOOKS!!! Now, I'm really worried I won't be able to return my book, and that would really suck, 'cause I could've saved about $60...

Seems about right to end it here, on this sour note, to wrap up this sour day...

Until next time, I guess...

Your Personality Profile

You are dignified, spiritual, and wise.

You are also a seeker of knowledge and often buried in books.

You tend to be philosophical, looking for the big picture in life.
You dream of inner peace for yourself, your friends, and the world.
A good friend, you always give of yourself first.


Really got what I was thinking at the time...seriously, all you had to do was choose a picture...

Blackout

There was just a 30-second blackout, like a minute ago...I was on the computer at the time...

This has to be a sign to GET OFF THE COMP!

So, after both turning on my comp again and writing in my blog, it is time for me to sleep.

Until next time, I guess...

?!

Well, after the past few days of longness, today seems to have made up for it...

Went to class at 10. Ended at 10:30. I'm done for today...

Now alls I gotta do is get my Certificate 2 to prove to the loaners that I've gots school...and, I gotta find out how to get myself a locker in Angus...and to get a free agenda...

Hmm, but now I've got a decision to make...should I stay at UBC, get ahead in my readings and what not, then watch the hockey game? Or, perhaps I should just go home, then come back later to watch it? Or should I even go to the game??

Oh well...it isn't turning out to be a good day, had to get off of the comfy 480, where I was reading in the back w/ 2 seats to myself, onto this crowded-as-hell bus where I had to stand 'til I got to UBC. This was at the 70th. Booo...

Anyways, I'm off to get something done, instead of wasting all my time on addictinggames or something...

Until next time, I guess...

[Edit, 8:19pm - Well, didn't go to the game...on the 480 back to richmond, it went past Kwantlen. So I said what the hell, why not go visit, and so I did...saw a bunch of people, ended up eating AYCE Japanese again...so good, but so expensive, although I still feel like I'm bursting from the seams 5 hrs later...and it seems like I've got absolutely no work done. Don't think I can go to Kwantlen anymore...]

Another long day, this time academically...

Got to school early as heck, although listening to the internet/live RBF cd I bought on the busride over was awesome...I so need to buy a freakin' mp3/ipod deally...

Was gonna get my certificate 2 at the financial award etc place, but the line was hella long due to the having to pay tuition fees today, so I said screw it...man, I think I tanked my credit rating...

Class started at 10am, and ended at 5:30pm. Only 2 half-hour breaks inbetween. Long and arduous, but incredibly awesome...great profs/instructors, and even the one instructor that was kinda droning stopped halfway through and we got into a group discussion. Boo-yah!!! (Although, much of the commerce courses seems somewhat boring, since I've taken most already...)

Bought rest of my books after classes, stupid having to pay $100+ that I wasn't expecting...stupid classes with unforseen $30 notes etc...

I ate large breakfast at 7ish as to not be starving during class...instead, I was starving on the busride home. Yay...

Although, I did see Mark at broadway and granville, waiting for the bus...talked w/ him for a bit 'til I got on the 98...then, lo and behold, Angela was on that bus on her way home! Huzzah, 'cause it wasn't boring riding home (well, it was 'til it became uncrowded and I was able to talk w/ her, heheh). And as a plus, I got a ride home w/ Angela, woo! No waiting for the 404 for me! Good luck with your roadtest tomorrow!

So, I got home about 20 to 8, quickly ate some dinner, then got a ride to 3 and saunders (since my sisters had piano lessons around there), and I bussed to Hapkido...well, more of a story than that, w/ gas and kwantlen, but I'm not gonna embellish it...

Oh yes. One more thing...Reuben is so right, there's hot asian girls all over the place in commerce...wooo, I guess...the "I guess" coming from the worrying that I shall be distracted unnecessarily...

Once again, another "awesome" day that made me feel like I had to put down every event in it...I think my blog's getting more boring every post...perhaps I shall make another blog purely filled with quotes from my RELG 205 course...that'd be fun...

Anyways, I need sleep. Sleep is good. I'm still not getting enough. Goodnight...

Until next time, I guess...

Resolve

I feel like making a new tradition...I mean, why wait 'til the new year to make resolutions, when the completion of summer already feels like the start of a new one?

Therefore, my School Year's Resolutions, in order of cognition:

Resolve #1: Be more active, do not blubber up like last year!
--> How: Take advantage of every free activity at UBC, incl. gym swim intramurals...

Resolve #2: Have a computer where my dad doesn't mess everything up.
--> How: Buy a laptop...eventually...

Resolve #3: Stop having a "potentials" attitude and actually do something!
--> How: Meet more people, perhaps get to know some current "potentials" better...

Resolve #4: Work harder at my actual schooling, no complacency!
--> How: Perhaps not go to Kwantlen half as often as I'd like, lol...

Resolve #5: Not to waste days wallowing in my own introvertedness.
--> How: Don't hesistate to walk outside! Don't stay indoors all day!

Resolve #6: Don't spend so much mon-ay...
--> How: Work part-time, bring lunches / go home earlier, etc...

Resolve #7: Be more active spiritually.
--> How: Read the bible! As well as group study, perhaps a UBC one could work out...

Seems right to stop at seven, for now...

Needless to say, this is a growing list...kinda surprised I made it while waiting for my ride to PNE, i.e. in mere minutes...therefore, it must be lacking! I shall come back to this list...perhaps...

[and hey, if you guys think I missed anything, don't hesistate to call me out on it!]

Until next time, I guess...

--> As told through the mind of an introverted extrovert.

LIES!!!

After reading the reviews, hearing the people, they all told me that it'll be bad, how the lead actor wasn't believeable, how the actress was plastic, how the story sucked, etc...

LIES!!! ALL LIES!!!

Bewitched was an awesome movie...WAY better than I expected, and well, I was expecting crap, but that's besides the point...

But really, this movie was awesome because of two main points:

1. Will Ferrell is freakin' hilarious!! "You're a witch?" "Yeah, I'm a..." "AHHHGHAHHGGHHH!!!" *waves stick like a maniac*
2. I love the quirky lovey dovey stuff...yes, I am such a corn dog...

So yeah, probably not for everyone, esp. if you don't like Will Ferrell (surprisingly I know a lot who fit this category), but man this was surprisingly awesome...

Not like War of the Worlds, what a disappointment...

Anyways, while watching the movie, this recurring thought suddenly occurred to me once again:

--> My goodness, Superman must be the dumbest superhero ever...

And he sooooo is...stupid stupid stupid...I mean, besides the fact that he never uses his powers efficiently and thus always saves the day at the last minute, just think about it - what's Superman's only weakness? Kryptonite!! And what's something that could stop Kryptonite?! FREAKIN' LEAD!!! That's all you need to stop kryptonite!

Soooooo...WHY THE HECK DOESN'T SUPERMAN WEAR A FREAKIN' LEAD SUIT?!?! With a lead suit, he'll be freakin immune to kryptonite, thus making him INVINCIBLE!!!

Phew...man, I wanted to get that out ever since I watched Captain Planet all those years ago...man, Leadsuit was freakin' awesome, esp. after CP stretched it out, lol!

Anyways, that's enough ranting to last me for the night...

Tomorrow is PNE! Woooo!

Until next time, I guess...

Wonderments of Summers Gone...

It's days like today that make me feel introverted...just sitting at home, doing nothing, nobody calling, not calling anybody...

But then I remember that this week was crazy busy, what with the ubc and the hapkido and the rock climbing and the workage and the buying stuff at ubc and the visiting rob...and it's not like I've been cooped up all summer as usual...

Perhaps that's what's bothering me so much. The past 36 hrs have pretty much reminded me of my previous lackluster summers, and that aint too appealing...tomorrow seems like more of the same, with a probable staying home leading to a fancy dinner / cheapo movie with my uncle. Not too shabby, of course, but alarmingly familiar...

Perhaps I should try to phone people up for monday, it being an actual long weekend and what not...angela shar etc seem to be going to pne, that might be fun...however, possibly expensive...whatever, I'll see what'll happen...just as long as I'm not sitting around wasting the last day before school starts up again...

Woo, school and what not...yeah...man, I'm gonna miss kwantlen...

Anyways, enough of this down-in-the-dumpster business, it's not like I really have much to complain about...perhaps a little more female involvements could be made so my crazy potentials mentality isn't overblown, as was shown in my alt...but enough talk about the alt.

It's late. Quite late. And yet I'm still up. Perhaps this shall also be part of my rememberance of previous summers, in that I shall sleep when the sun comes up again, and that I shall wake up in time for my uncle to pick me up to go to dinner...my goodness, that would suck soo much...oh well, I'm not playing Civ3 so I doubt that it'll happen...

And now I'm just left with my crazy wonderings...for instance, why have I not been watching the news very often during the summer? Did the first month of diligent Daily Show taper off into an apathetic view of the world outside my bubble? Especially w/ Katrina...biggest hurricane of the past 100 years, and I didn't know until Jamieson was already in New Orleans and the 'cane was about to level the city...after that, I felt pretty bad for my lack of newsing myself...

And another annoyance of this summer. I have watched absolutely ZERO animes in the past 4 months. I'm even too lazy to finish off freakin' Chobits, and I've only got a few left...Yeah, I'm too lazy to download anime, as well as too lazy to sit at the computer and watch it, but still...with so much free time I'd've thought I'd watch SOMETHING...

And another thing - why the heck did I stop bothering to go work out? I mean, I have 8 freaking unused tickets to watermania, and I've been too lazy to get out and use them...well, okay, working Herring was a workout in itself, but many days where I was just too lazy to do anything, I should've got up and done something. Hmm, ideas for sat. afternoons, I mean I've already paid, so swimming should be alright...or not...hmmm...oh well, thinking for later...

Also, I believe I've been too carefree with my money...first 2 months I was fairly careless, but at least I made sure not to spend more than half of my earnings...now, however, it seems like I've run out of excess cash...now, after I pay this semester's tuition and books, I only gots $900 left for all year, incl. next semester's tuition and what not...there goes my dreams of a laptop, ipod, or any other goodies I was thinking of getting...

Oh well...if one thing's different from the last few summers, is that I actually have a place for my brain to wander...hooray for blogging, and such...

And, you know what?? Hooray for EVERYTHING!!! I mean, what the heck am I feeling so glum about?? This has pretty much been the best summer EVER!!! I mean, how many days outta the past 4 months had something to do with my friends?? The overwhelming majority, that's what!! And what did I do for most days?? Work my freakin' butt off!!! Non-useless summers are freakin' SWEET! I mean, the only other summer that ever even came close would probably be the one where I lost like 30-40 pounds, or perhaps one of the forgotten summers of my childhood at the co-op at moffatt...but, all things considered, this really has been a freakin' amazing summer. Niiiice...

And now that my 2nd wind has come and passed, I've realized that I've rambled on for far FAR longer than I should have...should've stopped right at the beginning...oh well, ramblings seem to do well for me...It's not like many would bother to read through the whole thing...heheh, starting to ramble about how I ramble...oh, how I miss those days of november...

Until next time, I guess...

UBC Day

Interesting day...

Kris and I went downtown to visit Rob (u know, the guy living in a box in front of the library this week?), and yeah that was such a blast...

So after that, Kris had to go, so I went and got my books at UBC. But first, I had to get there...meaning, bussing! Bussing is still fad-like fun for me, going places alls on my own, feeling like it's free...quite awesome...

But anyways, bought my books (save one), now nearly $500 out, still needing one more book...

So, wandering around UBC and whatever made me realize that I'm actually really looking forward to this semester...not only does it seem awesome w/ the campus and what not, I'm actually really looking forward to my classes! I mean, 4 or 5 I've already taken (thus, it'll be a breeze), and my one elective is History of the Christian Church, and contrary to what u guys might think, this class actually seems really interesting! I mean, I already read 40+ pages outta the "textbook", and man I can't wait to start it...

I mean, only a few pages into the first chapter, and I'm already amazed...

"This means that one must take care not to exaggerate the opposition of Jesus and the early Christians to the Pharisees. A great deal of the friction between Christians and Pharisees was due to the similarity of their views rather than to their difference."

I'm so gonna enjoy next semester...w/ awesome academia, ability to hang out at Kwantlen at a regular basis, possible continuation of working out / swimming, not to mention HOCKEY!!!, daaaaang...

Anyways, enough bantering, time to head off to bed, gotta wakes up early and go downtown, gotta watch Rob's draw...man, I hope he freakin' wins!

Until next time, I guess...
