I'm so lazy today! I don't want to study my lessons... I fell asleep as I was reading my book... I had three cups of coffee already. I've been trying to post my cousin's baby shower pictures on my online photo album but the server kept on timing out on me... argh... I better go back to my studies...

I still have a hangover... I think this is the worst hangover I've ever had. It seems like forever! I've been eating all day... anything really tasty I could have my hands on...I've also been drinking chocolate drink, soya milk and fruit juice, except orange! Orange juice reminds me so much of that spiked orange juice I had last night... I don't want any memories of alcohol right now... it's making me sick... ^_^

It's raining all week here in Toronto... and it's still raining right now. I finally bought an umbrella. I hope I don't lose this one. I always lose my umbrella. I left the last one at the bus. I totally forgot to check it at the transit lost and found... argh...

Okay, now I'm missing work. I'm never off work for more than a week. I used to take maximum of one week vacation only. I'm becoming quite stressed out with my job-hunting.... It's hard when you're picky with your schedule and all since I can only apply for part-time positions. I have been applying internally with my former company. I'm still technically employed by my former employee it's just that I'm not really working. They are so nice to consider of keeping me instead of terminating my employment completely. I've been very good to my company which is true so it did pay off. I never complained with my work so I guess that's why they love me so much. (^_^) I'm also applying for positions in coffeehouses close to school. Yeah, I'm that desperate... but you know, I've never worked in the service industry. I've always worked in an office environment so I want to try it. Good luck to me.

I found a really touching poem yesterday... Here it is:

Referring to flowers
(by an anonymous author, from the Manyoushuu)

That you like me notIt may well be----
Yet will you not come
Even to see the orange tree
Abloom in my dooryard?

Today I saw a friend had coffee, chat and walked in the rain. I also studied my lessons for tomorrow. I didn't have classes today but I got so bored at home I decided to come to school today just to study and reply to my e-mails. I changed my e-mail address, once again. I went back to AOL. I don't know why I kept coming back and forth to AOL even though I don't like their services. It must be the cute/neat icons they have on their site/software. My new e-mail address is Garyg118@aol.com and you can find me on AIM as Garyg118.

I'm so happy I got into the course I want!! I wanted to shout in the library where I'm at right now because I am so happy! ^_^ I was losing hope and I was close to giving up. If I don't take this course this year, I'll be doomed... That would be one more year for me before I graduate.

Well, I haven't blogged in a while only because I was very busy with school and trying to get into some courses. We do everything online which is fine. I still have to get into this one more The Tale of Genji.. yeah, uh huh, it's a course by itself!! It's a long epic but it's one of the greatest epic that humanity has produced and I want to study it.

Tuesday was a very emotional day for me. That's when the terrorists attacked the US. I was deeply saddened by what happened... I was shocked... I wanted to cry when I was watching the CNN news at one of the halls here in the university along with other university students. I couldn't believe what just happened. So many lives lost, too many. Who cares about the architectural wonders destroyed... my grief is on the lives lost by this very cruel and inhumane act. The celebration, the dancing of the Palestinian people in the refugee camps in Lebanon, angered me so much. I couldn't believe why they were doing this. They didn't realize how many people died because of an irrational belief they stick in. Yeah, holy war you say? Um yeah, holy war my ass!

I watched a movie last night with a very beautiful friend ^_^ ... We watched Planet of the Apes and I loved it so much! It was amazing how the plot of the story totally made sense to me and how it appeared so realistic! I love movies that have some truth on it and a possibility. The graphics and the make ups were astonishing... Lovely! Then we had dinner at one of my favourite Japanese restaurants of course Tokyo World. My friend was so amazed to see the Japanese grocery/videostore right beside the restaurant. She's been in Canada for 6 months and she didn't know such place exists in Toronto... yay! We both exclaimed... I really had a great time that night.

Yesterday was my last day as a full-time employee. It was my last day at work. It was so hard to say good-bye to the people at work, especially the ones who have become my friends. I realized in the past few days how much I was loved at work, how very important I was with my co-workers. My co-workers treated me at a restaurant near work. It was a lousy restaurant. Believe it or not, we got our orders an hour and 40 minutes after! It was ridiculous. The food was not excellent either. All I heard from the people at the table were complaints after complaints. I couldn't blame them. We ended up having free dinner because of that, thanks to one of my co-workers who really knew her rights. My co-workers felt really bad about the choice of restaurant... it was not their fault at all... the restaurant was new and they've been there before and they swore the service was excellent. Last night was a bad night for the restaurant I guess. The server was very nice and was very apologetic about the whole thing and she expressed how much she disliked the services, etc... but she gave us too much information... she told us about how lousy the manager is and that one of cooks is a 16-year old boy, etc etc... Anyway, I was happy to see people who came to the dinner and stuck around until the end. We went to a pub after were we had some nachos and drinks. They gave me gifts which were really nice. I was touched when one of my co-workers who we all call "Mom", because she was like a mother to all of us, gave me a painting she did herself on a slate... It depicts mountains, trees, ocean and whales on it... It is very beautiful. The hardest part was saying good-bye to a guy who has become one of my best friends... I couldn't hold my tears... I was a bit embarrassed. I tried my best concealing it but I guess I couldn't... I'm a very sentimental person and he knows it very well... I shouldn't be sad really because we were not really very far from each other and we would still keep in touch on the phone and see each other at least once a week. I guess I'm sad only because I won't be able to see him everyday anymore. He's a great guy. He always cheer me up. I'll surely miss him.

Chinese food for $2.99 for 4 items! Now who can beat that?! A friend brought me to this food court in one of the malls in Chinatown and he introduced me to this cheapest Chinese meal I've ever seen.Funny because I've visited this mall many times and I didn't know this food court exists... Now I know where to eat cheap food when school starts.

My friend mentioned that I look very serious in the picture in my who is page but in reality I'm not really a very serious guy... I talk a lot, I smile a lot. I have a very shallow sense of humour. I stutter when I'm nervous. I'm perky when I nervous. I walk and move very fast.... I'm clumsy... I just thought I'd make online gary a different person, one who is not very me.... blah blah blah....

I've changed so much.... even things I never thought would ever change! I think I'm in love! .... again, blah blah blah... who cares about my love life?

This is my last week at work. I'm both sad and excited. I got attached so much to working life... or I guess I should say I got so attached with the people at work so much that I find it hard to accept that I'm leaving them soon. I've been in that same company and same department for more than three years. My stay in this company has made a tremendous contribution to what I am right now amongst the different companies I've worked for before. I will especially miss the friends I've made at work and they are the people I'll miss the most.... I know, I'm too sentimental! ... I think I'm gonna cry in my last day.... oh no! ^_^ too much... too much... but, I have a new chapter in life to look forward to starting next week... it's gotta be good!

I'm dying to tell you what I really feel for you

but I'm so afraid to find out you don't feel the same way for me. My feelings for you raise so many questions that I'd rather not say anything... I fear of losing you if I make the wrong move and if I use the wrong words. I think about you always. Is it fate that brought you to my life? Am I only infatuated? I'm confused.

I'm one sick puppy, aren't I?

I just got home from my little brother's birthday party. He turned 7 yesterday. It was a busy day for me. I ate a lot at the party.

I've been listening to a lot of R&B lately thanks to my friend Hiro who showered me with so many R&B mix MD's... I'm really starting to like R&B, especially Usher and Craig David.
