I just watched Catching Fire and I must say that I'm becoming a big fan of the series. I don't think I'd read the books, but I do like the concept.
Here's how to make Hunger Games better:
1. Delete all love scenes
So this dude at work went up to me and said, "Wha you sayin?" After 10 minutes of confusion (on my part) and frustration (on his part), he finally told me that it meant "what's up" and it only made me wonder why he didn't just say that from the start.
I haven't updated about current events for almost two months now so you're probably wondering "what I'm sayin." I've been keeping BUSY that's for sure...
- Taking the Tax II class I dropped last term, I go up to Waterloo every Mondays and Wednesdays
- Part-time work at Mississauga Honda as a Service Cashier while I finish school and decide what I want to do with my life (to Korea or not to Korea, that is the question)
In between, I've been watching A TON TON TON of movies (went to see Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus at TIFF), applying for full-time jobs for January and just hanging out.
Goodbye school, Hazel St. and the last moments of summer...
Goodbye house with many memories to leave behind...
Last couple of weeks of school, I've been jamming on Ira's guitar a whole lot
Last visit from Shannon. So many memories dude!!
Four of us went to Victoria Park after sushi lunch to hang out and Ira "climbed" a tree
Goodbye Kitchener!! Four years... can't believe we haven't been to this park yet (it's right beside Charles St terminal!)
Last night studying and Allen passed by Solarium!
me, ira and penny goofing off on the last study day
Goodbye 267 Hazel forever....... *tears* can't believe I don't live there anymore, it feels WEIRD thinking about it!!
My name on my door right before I peeled it off..... *tear* (P.S. this stupid thing cost me $50 from the landlord who charged me cos they said I didn't peel off everything)
Visit to Lakeshore and goofing off with my besties after eating some yummy Dairy Cream
Last night before Europe....... hotpot at Charis's!! (last time i would see charis *cries*)
Enjoying the brisk autumn weather and life @ home...
Back from Europe, me, my brother and sister-in-law went to Buffalo to check out the falls on their side and go shopping
"Cave of the Mist" - surprising I've never been here before (very fun getting SOAKED by the falls)
crazy shot with the falls ravaging behind us... and rainbow!
Sushi Star with friends for Mike's bday celebration!
crappy cellphone pic... but this was at Nuit Blanche where they showcased a bunch of contemporary "art" exhibits downtown Toronto all night
Thanksgiving Weekend was crazy but good... celebrated Shannon's birthday at PJ O'Brien's Irish Pub, went to Waterloo for Jacey's birthday and had Thanksgiving dinner with the family. I've been keeping busy lately studying (or lack thereof) for my exam Saturday, working, etc... and TA-DA ALL CAUGHT UP!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
School Starts:
Taking Tax I and Advanced Tax concurrently is hell enough. Add: Advanced Accounting and Auditing - just kill me.
Mother's Day:
Frankie's Tomatos in Markham for Italian Buffet. Blegh, I hate buffets.
Afterwards, BR with friends for bubbletea (and other ulterior motives...). Dennis spent the night taking random ass photos with his new DSLR. P.S. Upload photos please
Next afternoon was Mother's Day and my parents drove me back to Waterloo. We ate the best meal ever at King Tin.
Jackie's Birthday! Lilian and Ira baked Jackie a diabetic cake with a big "J" on it and made delicious cupcakes with everyone's last names. Again, people, upload your photos! The next day, we met up again on his actual birthday and went out to Morty's. We stayed up late Rock Banding at his house and all I can say to Hendry and James: you guys, omg.
Movies. Howard gave me a ride home Friday morning. Charis called to say goodbye in the afternoon, as she was already at the airport on route to Peru. HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, see you in two weeks! At night, we stayed up with a Europe psych-up movie marathon night at Richard's house. The next night, we all went out to watch Angels & Demons and it was good!
Blue Jay's Game. I went downtown to pay for Party on a Boat deposit. It was A LOT, so you people better come (Justin, Ira, Mike Murakami, Michael Lee - RSVP! You know you're coming, why prolong the inevitable). I took a picture of a boat, but yeah, it's pretty dinky. I was quite disappointed. Go on the site and look at the photo gallery. This means I should stop hyping it up as one big crazy party.
After, I met up with Lilian and the gang to watch the Blue Jay's Game against White Sox. It was amazing!!! I had a great time, and it's not nearly as boring as that time I watched it when I was a kid. We didn't get our Alex Rios bobblehead (I WILL FOREVER BLAME IRA) but Lilian won free passes for Terminator: Salvation and a hat, and we all get free Pizza! After, we ate at Loose Moose Bar & Grill because Cyrus and Kurt wanted to watch Lakers. Fun day. Again, UPLOAD PHOTOS!
Okay I'm all caught up! I beat you, James.
Movies Watched in Last Month: I Love You, Man; Fast and Furious; X-Men Origins: Wolverine (I want a refund); Star Trek (oh how I loved thee)
Upcoming Movies: Terminator: Salvation; Angels & Demons
Church:
The church I go to has a campus in Jane & Finch at my old elementary school. Me and Priscilla decided to take a morning trip just to check it out. This is a view of my old elementary school from my favourite park.
My favourite park where I used to spend the majority of my childhood. Everything is the same except they added this Spider-Man contraption thing and they removed the tire swing at the back.
Priscilla is standing in the very spot where my first bike got stolen. Oh, Jane & Finch...
36-47 Tobermory Dr. This is my old townhouse where I spent the first ten years of my life.
Rockclimbing:
Richard organized a rock climbing event and at night, we went to Oasis which is right on Bathurst. Chris, David and I on the 2nd beginner wall. The first time, the height was making me hyperventilate (with fear of Eugene dropping me).
Here's some of us - excited to climb rocks!
It was a large group of us who showed up for dinner at Snug Harbour. I've wanted to eat there for a while because I thought it'd be nice and relaxing with the lake right there. I ended up paying $40 for my meal - why do I always get risotto?! The toffee cheese cake was absolutely amazing though! Unfortunately, it just had to rain (of all the days) so the after plans switched from lounging at the lake to bowling.
We took up three lanes, it was the best even though I bowled more poorly than normal (I blame being on lane 44). Bowling is 100x more fun with a large group. Afterwards, everyone went home but Vanessa, Dennis and Richard came over and we watched Quarantine and Planet Earth (who needs a narrator when you have Denbo, expert in marine biology?). I am looking forward to the sunny weekend. 3 days until school...
