I just added a new picture gallery... check it out!
I wanted so bad to go out tonight with my friends but with my present condition, I don't think so.... I'll probably just watch movies or play video games at home. hmmm....
8:15 PM
I'm still awake! I just finished chatting with a friend through AIM and now I'm drinking a nice hot Japanese tea to relieve my itchy throat... My lungs are so tired from coughing. I haven't had a cough for a long time and my body is not so used to it (but then whose body isn't? hehe). I did a lot of walking and contemplating after work today. I'm beginning to enjoy the company of myself now, hmmm... is that bad? I don't think so... sometimes being alone is good too. I didn't feel like going out tonight anyway because of my annoying cough and cold.
Motto of the day: I am strong. I am strong. That's it!

It's been 3 days, I'm still sick... I'm home-bound again.... My brother asked me to come with him and give him directions to pick up my younger brother from a hotel close to the airport... He and his friends stayed there for the night after their senior high prom night... I just finished one large Tim Horton's coffee... yum... four cream four sugar... hmmm! I'm listening to Mother by Luna Sea. I've been e-mailing back and forth to a good friend at work... She is so cool. I like her a lot. I hope we don't get in trouble by doing this... hehe.

I've been drinking a lot of "C-Plus"... I've also had 2 bowls of Maple Nut flavoured ice cream...I also sent so many e-mails yesterday and today... I got so dark from Sunday's
Pride Day parade... It was very sunny.I watched the parade with friends. Two of my friends marched for an Asian AIDS support group. So many people watched the parade. I also saw a lot of tourists, especially Japanese tourists.
5:41 PM
I'm still sick... I slept for 12 hours last night... I was to sick to get up from bed. I've accomplished something yesterday though... I replied to all my e-mails! I guess because I was so bored at home sick.

I'm still sick... and I think it's getting worse. The doctor gave me some medication to help reduce the pain. I'm going to bed for now and warm up a bit under my warm soft comforter.
4:58 PM
I'm sick... I woke up with a painful throat and fever. I called in sick today. I'm going to get a lot of sleep and rest today.
8:22 AM
It was such a busy weekend! It was the Pride Weekend here in Toronto. The day when gay, lesbians, bisexual and transgendered people and their friends gather to celebrate their sexuality and be proud of who they are. I'm losing my voice... my throat is so sore right now. I think it's because of lack of sleep in the past few days and exposure to the cool weather at night without wearing a jacket or a sweater. I should go get some rest and sleep.

I realized today I have some personality issues that I have to deal with. I sometimes blame things to people not realizing that it is actually me who is the real problem. I worry about things not thinking that I am the cause of the worry. I guess the lesson I had this morning in class helped me realize this. Our topic was Buddhism. I became a self-professed "Buddhist" at one point and I studied a lot of the different Buddhist ideals... as time went by, I started forgetting about them. I thought it was just a phase. Friends also helped a lot. I'm so grateful to this friend I have who gives me advice on things, helping me solve my problems... I'm so glad I have them... it shows that they really care.

I just got home from the boat cruise party... I had fun. The boat`s name was Marine Princess. Sorry I can`t tell more details because I`m so exhausted... I`m going to bed.

I realize the photo I posted here is too big but I`m just too lazy trimming it down a bit... I will do it soon... Now, people probably think I`m so vain... well, aren`t homepages meant to satisfy vanity? hehe....

I had a very busy, tiring but very good day today... and add to that the nice hot weather we had... I hope tomorrow`s going to be nice again. I was off on vacation from work today but I had to go to school in the morning and afternoon. I finally had my very very old university ID card replaced, finally... it has been obsolete for 5 years or something and I was so lazy or had no time to have it replaced until today. Then I met up with a friend for sushi dinner. I had two instances today where people talked to me in Japanese - one from a Japanese bookstore and one from the sushi place... I just simply answered はい、どうも ("yes" and "thank you") to the music store clerk and bolted out of the store quickly (why do they always speak so fast?? hehe... I assumed she asked me if I wanted a bag for the cd`s....) and at the restaurant, the server spoke to me in Japanese (again, so fast!) and I told her right off 日本語は少しだけですが (I only speak little Japanese) and she just giggled and apologized telling me I look like a Japanese girl, yep, that`s what she said and of course she immediately corrected it...she was so nice in fact I was able to practise my Japanese with her and she was quite impressed.... After that we met up another friend and sat at the Starbucks patio just right across MuchMusic while we sipped our coffee. We saw three VJ`s from Much: Eric Campanelli, Paul Stephanopoulos (or something that sounds like that) and this other girl VJ I don`t remember the name. We talked about many topics, from fashion, wars, boy bands, tennis (okay, I only listened to this topic, I`m not a tennis fan), etc...

I realized today that one of the best medicine in the world is a sincere apology.... I feel so much better today. The quote below is probably the most touching one I've ever read...
"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature."11:43 PM

Another very emotional week has passed. I have hurt someone -- someone who I never ever want to hurt... only because I was hurt too. It was a very stressful week for me, emotionally and physically. I'm drained out. I want to apologize and revive the friendship but my pride tells me not to. I feel that I deserve an apology. This is driving me insane.
Last night my friend held a barbeque party. I had fun. Tonight I'm going to a another friend's birthday dinner. We're going for Hungarian. I never had Hungarian food. hmmm...
I realize I spend too much for coffee at work. That happens when you have Tim Horton's nearby.... oh and because recently I'm having a crush on this cute girl who works there at nights... yesterday she didn't wear her eyeglasses and our eyes met for the first time... she smiled and I smiled back.... she has a nice smile and beautiful eyes... I asked myself questions after....

Bye-bye, gbook.nu.... I got a new guestbook. I'm tired of Gbook server's frequent downtime.
I am so dehydrated. I must have had 5 cups of coffee and a cup of Japanese tea today. I learned from biology class that tea and coffee
dehydrate your body by making you pee a lot.
8:58 PM
I woke up at 8:30 AM this Sunday morning... I felt like I didn't sleep at all. I kept waking up in the middle of the night. I had a dream I cut my hair really short and that I regret it. I woke up and felt my hair if it was real... hehe.

I'm staying home for the weekend. I am so tired. The weather is quite depressing anyway. I went to the mall today just to do my errands, pay bills and stuff... of course I ended up spending money. I bought a bag and a wallet. Gee, blogging for me is becoming a once-a-week thing now. I've been very lazy logging into the 'net lately. I work late Monday to Thursday now. I'm also taking a course every Tuesday and Thursday so it's always been a very busy week for me and when I get home all I want to do is to do nothing.
I saw Pearl Harbor last night. I didn't like it. There was too much lovey-dovey and some of the scenes are quite cheesy. The warfare effects were amazing though. I was so close to the screen and when the planes crashed I felt like I was in the cockpit and I couldn't help not pushing myself back....
I'm listening to an MD I made two days ago. Du Hast by Rammstein is playing. I threw most of my favourite songs in it -- Stereolab, Prodigy, Cibo Matto, Bad Religion, Radiohead, Garbage, etc... I'm so crazy making MD's.. I made another one I call Massive Air Head Lab -- my favourite songs by Massive Attack, Air, Portishead and Stereolab...
