  • Here's to a new year

    Sunday 01/01/12

    Church then count down with other families

    Turn down your volume. You've been warned.

    Excuse my big, manly voice, it gets very shrill when I get excited

     

    Ended up visiting the Santo's residence to meet their new puppy, Twinkle

    Gorgeous gorgeous dog

    Headed back to the party and played games, laugh, talk, eat then home

    Monday 01/02

    Sleeping for the whole two weeks was mighty disorienting, for some reason I had it in my head that it was already the third and that I had things I needed to do.

    Turns out that I didn't. So I just slept some more

    Tuesday 01/03

    Blood test and miscallaneous errands in the morning/afternoon.

    Then hang out with Ms. TR in the evening

    We had dinner at Bubble 88 then headed to watch Mission Impossible 4. Actually we came too late so we purchased a ticket for MI4 but snuck in GWDT with the intention of killing time to catch the next MI4. Since TR hasn't seen GWDT we ended up staying.

    We had hot bubble tea afterwards since it was chilly.

     

    Wednesday 01/04

    I honestly don't remember what I did on this day. Hence, I most likely just slept

     

    Thursday 01/05

    First day of practicum. I get to work with pregnant ladies for a few weeks. It felt weird being literally back on my feet and off my back/bed.

    I was slightly worried that I wouldn't make it there on time since I had to transit and I didn't know where it was. Luckily, I'd ran into a few classmates who where heading the same way.

    It's so awkward. After all this time, I really just don't have any common ground with these people

    Since practicum ends relatively early, and my student loan came through, I headed to the mall to do a very compulsive -albeit planned- shopping. It was planned because all of my purchase I had wanted to a while, compulsive because I shouldn't have purchased them right then and there. No regrets though.

     

    Famished. Poutine on the go!

    TR was working that day so she gave me mango shake for free!! I love hookups!

     

    I couldn't resist buying this! It was all on the packaging! So retro and classy!

    I've always wanted a tea set! Now I have it!

    Friday 01/06

    First day back (for me) to classes. For some reason the one and only class for the day, which was supposed to be in the afternoon, was moved in the morning. Morning? What on earth is that?

    So then I was about to be late and I couldn't really afford to be, so I called a cab.

    Stupidest waste of money ever!

    The class that I had that day was the class of all class. It will comprehensively and accumulatively  test the "knowledge" that we have after 2-3 years of being in school.

    I fell sick, I want to throw up. I can't do this

    On other news, Aso's been getting a whole bunch of clothes this whole week.

    What a brat.

    I was also very...hormonal in the evening, made evident by my disheveled appearance. I just hadn't wanted to move from my feotal position from my bed. But little brother and mother called me out on it so I agreed to dine out with them that night.


    Saturday 01/07

    Weekday, school-mode me decided I was going to work voluntarily at the clinic. Again.

    Then, work spontaneously called while I made my way to school asking me to come in. I compromised but for some reason, I prioritize non-mandatory, unpaid, intern work. WHY?!

    I had one patient and the rest of the time I spent walking aimlessly around.

    In hindsight, I'm glad I did. I'd forgotten everything evidently. Now I think I have to come in every Saturday for more.

    After my shift I went to work for a few hours. They had thought they needed me because of some mishap that occured. Turns out they didn't but hey, it was their call.

    It was raining and on my way I had to wait for a couple of minutes at the stop lights for the lights to turn so that I could cross. Beside me was an old man with one of those big umbrellas. Out of the generosity - I assumed at the time- of his sweet, old heart, he motioned for me to come under his umbrella. I thought that was sweet and thoughtful of him but I politely declined saying I was only going across the street. As we crossed, I'd noticed that he was walking the same direction, which couldn't be help really because the side walk was only going one way. I felt slightly awkward so I made a detour, thinking I would back track once he was out of sight.

     

    When I turned around after a couple of feet though, I saw this man, staring right at me. I was very perturbed to say the least. So I turned to a corner out of his sight. I was so unsettled that I waited a while before walking back. Hoping against all hope that he wouldn't be standing there anymore.

    That was the most intense moment of my life.

    Again, I was famished so bought dinner before heading home. The funny thing is, now that le father is back to work, I don't ever get to eat rice unless I eat out -_-. Not cool.

    At midnight I finally get to do the sister thing: picking up slightly intoxicated little brother. For some reason that made me ridiculously happy.

     

    Sunday 01/08

    Finally got around to pick up my mail! My bat wing cardigan is finally here! 

    Though I should really stop ordering clothings modeled by size 00 Asian girls. It just isn't going to happen for me.

    You'd think I would learn my lesson after ordering this sweater:

    Ironic too, because all I want is comforable, effortless clothing. How can one be comfortable if the clothes does not fit?

    Then church with le mother. Speaking of, as she was getting ready, she'd ask me to braid her hair. It brought back memories when I was younger and she was braiding my hair :')

    Incident of the week: Van battery dying; mother and I stuck in the church parking lot. It was cold. And I was hungry and getting aggitated fast.

    We're okay now though.

     

    Week one: Done
