  • Getting back to "normalcy"

    But then again, "normalcy" may just be one of the most subjective word in the dictionary. 

    Another very irrelevant week. 

    Note to self: Make it a hobby to take at least one picture of the day. 

    Seriously, I'm afraid that my life is fading into irrelevance. That's the main purpose of blogging regularly, really. The only reassurance that I have, is that there are 7 billion people in this world, I can't be the only one with this fear. So basically, telling myself that I'm in no shape or form important or special, is reassuring.

     


    Monday 11.21

    Bonding with Father. We both had to visit the doctor for reasons. I hadn't realize how old my Father-- both of my parents for that matter-- until the moment when I sat in the hospital room with him and listened to his various aches and pains. 

     

    May God watch them both always. 

     

    My Father is undoubtedly the most stand up man I've ever and will ever know. Words can't express my admiration for this man. I'd made a promise to myself that I will not settle for anything less for a life long partner if they don't measure up to him. Not only am I doing this for myself, but it's also to honour my loving Father.

     

    Tuesday 11.22

    Wings and Chesse cake at the Heritage Grill with MF. 

    Sure, New Westminster is probably not the most developed city in B.C, but I wouldn't mind leaving there. In fact, it's been a second home to me for almost three years. 

     

    Wednesday 11.23

    Another late day. I just felt out of it and not really up to giving the evening of practicum my best. It worried me for a while. 

    "What would I do if this was real life, and these were paying patients?"

    And then I reassured myself by saying that it's impossible to be 100% everyday. It also helped that to some extent, I was forced by obligation to learning to be there. 

     

    Thursday 11.24

     School. Can remember little else. 

     

    Friday 11.25

    Business project presentation. I like dressing up in formal attire; it makes me feel grown up. What's uncomfortable though, is the surprise on people's face when they see me. For instance, I dropped by worked that evening to pick up my check and to choose a name from a hat for our Secret Santa. I guess they're just not used to seeing me in a non-scrubbed outfit. But then again, I don't think anyone is used to seeing me looking like a person, much less a girl.

    Wish list

     

    I actual don't wish for anything in particular. Life is good, and I'm happy. Though, for the sake of my person's peace of mind, I did jot down a few things to choose from, they're all book related. 

    Side note: I had the misfortune of picking the owner and main dentist. Funny, since last year, I'd gotten the other dentist. He was easy to shop for; think 8 year old. No lie, he's a big toddler! Book smart, but very little else. 

    Now, what do you give a person who probably -easily- make millions of dollars a year? 

    Went home for a little while, then picked up MF for an evening of feast!

     

    DONAIR! I DE-VOW-ERED  that issh in .5 seconds FLAT! I remember having this having a couple of times a week. I've been going to this shop for years and I've been having the same thing since! To the point that the owner knows exactly  what to make for me without asking. Too bad we've moved to the other side of the town. 

     

    Also, we couldn't just leave without having a DIY milkshake from next door! Maybe it's from the fact that unlike Calgary, we don't have a proper milkshake joint, but these things are super delicious and passable enough. 

    Earlier that evening, we received an invitation from CB to come over because it was their dad's birthday. 

    Where there's food, I shall follow.

    I know I just ate at this point, but I am very much known for being guilty of gluttony. 

    MF and I were eventually left in their house to fend for ourselves while the other kids purchase a t.v. We took the time to search up potential Christmas party venue. I'm very hesitant due to the general lack of restraint with alcohol involve. To be honest, I'd be happy with a low key party, but I don't think that's what people have in mind. 

    What is the point of this?

     

    When the t.v was finally set up, and a few of their friends arrived, we settled in and re watched Easy A upon my persistence request. I ended up asleep though, and woke up half way through the movie. 

     

    Saturday 11.26

    Originally, we had planned on go kart today, but I didn't wake up until 2PM so that didn't happen. I proposed to go have some fish and chips, but people already planned to go crazy tonight. Instead, I spent the day doing nothing, failing at a simple, basic crossword and....

     

    ...making sure that there are actually 500 pieces of rhinestone in each bag. There are. And that was the most exciting event of the day. Funny thing is, I'd rather be doing this any day that hit up a club. I'm secretly a 60 year old in a 20 year old body.
