yay!

okay, so i've got pics from my weekend/week so i'll post them up when i get a bit less lazy. like later. i need a breather. i'm done with all my christmas shopping, baking, and wrapping... now all that's left is my dance performance tonight and i'll be all chill.

i swear if anyone needs a good cardio regimen, just take up dancing. any kind of dancing. it's more fun than pilates and you get just as great a workout. i kinda wish i could go back to ballet, but i can't seem to find my old dance company. oh well, i'll search. oooh, which reminds me... mike, i'm going to get back into kung fu now. well, i guess after christmas eve and new year's eve... sorry for the delay!!

i think i'll watch elf again today.

go shorty!

... yes, it's my birthday. and i partied like it was my birthday... on friday, and saturday (sorta) then i kinda recuperated on sunday, then today annie and i went out and renewed our licenses (they were due today!) and tried to get things for free... mind you, even tho the free things on your birthday didn't work to well (we got nothin), there's still denny's. apparently we can score a free meal! yeah i'll try after dance rehearsal.

and kuya, the pics of my party will be up later. i'm not finished partying yet!!!

finally!

it's the last day of school til january... and i'm so excited! it's annie and my bday party tonight and we'll be partying til the early morn. i hope i made enough food...

it's just barely 745 am right now so i'm going to get ready for work. i'm actually not going to work so that i can work... i'm going there to party it up with the kids. we have games and stuff til noon then we're outta there for the break! woohoo!

k, lots to do... i'll be writing more soon.

by the way, long division isn't so bad. just think: multiply, subtract, bring down. repeat as necessary. monsieur yap actually made up a song for it... yes, it's quite silly, but he's proud of it.

?

this morning is not a particularly good morning.

the first email i read was from a friend that is not going to come back to vancouver (from toronto) for the holidays. dammit. i think it's been like 2 years since i've seen him last. i guess i'll have to visit out there when the weather warms up to the positive side of the thermometer...

then that kid i usually tutor at 10am saturday mornings shows up with starbucks... but at 1050!!... seriously folks, i don't mind the attempted bribes, but she already did that last week. it's tired and the fact that she still doesn't practice her long division when i ask her to makes every saturday more and more repetative. her being late is at least a bonus then... that way, she only stays with me for 40 minutes of long division madness.

i also missed arnis. i better catch up this winter. lots of gym time for me :o)

HOWEVER...
i managed to send out the evite for annie and my birthday party. woohoo! that always feels good. i can't wait til the party! i'm gonna start my cooking prep this weekend.

and i'm going to do some serious christmas shopping with my buddies... i'm done with most of the major shopping... just getting things for the kids i tutor. maybe i'll give them homework for christmas!! hahaha i'm mean!

to top it off, it's a sunny day today.
this afternoon is definitely looking up :o)

it's that time of year again! *hip hip HOORAY!*

no, not the holiday season...

it's report card time!! *hip hip... BOO!*

due to the fact that i have to finish up my reportcards, my blogging (... and arnis, and kung fu, and working out... among other things!) has waned dramatically. and i had a couple neat-o pics of the foggy days too. i'll post them later i guess.

alright, enough procrastinating, back to work.

pea soup?

i once heard that saying "the fog is as thick as pea soup" came from england. now if i were british, i might say that of the past weekend. we've had fog here since saturday. and it isn't just as thick as pea soup. it's like everyone decided to cook rice all at the same time... this cloud of rice steam just hasn't let up! it's wednesday already!! maybe later i'll go out and take a picture of the street and hopefully that will aid any of the "visualisationally impaired"... ;op

i'm going to do my laundry now.

d.d. for life

it's 1013 right now.

i was at the royal (a hole in the wall club on granville street) last night.
by 2300 my friends all ranged from tipsy to drunk.
suprisingly, they played that jamiroquai song! (yes, i danced.)
we left by 2oo.
despite 4 barf stops, and numerous drunken arguements (among them... i was just laughing at them), i managed to get three of them home safe.
i got home at 4oo this morning.

i woke up at 915.
i expected to start tutoring math at 945 for 2 hours.
my student is not here.

i am tired.

nothin left for me to do but...

You know this boogie is for real.

I used to buy my faith in worship,
But then my chance to Heaven slipped.
I used to worry about the future
But then I throw my caution to the wind.
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down.

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby

I feel the thunder see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent.
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because of the boogie I feel so hell bent
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before,
I dont know what to do
But then thats nothing new,
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through.

Hey- dancing nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance,
Hey got canned heat in my heels tonight baby
You know know know I'm gonna dance yeah
Off all the nasty things that people say.

Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Dance, come on got canned heat in my heels tonight
Canned heat in my heels tonight.


i got to teach music all day today. the usual music teacher is great, but i really like it that i get to take over when she gets sick. i'm not the type to adhere strictly to the lesson plan she leaves me, but today was good. we got to listen to a bit of reggae and some jamaican stories, and we got to learn a bit about jazz and ragtime and marches. then, of course, because i'm in charge, i play a bit of the "hidden beach recordings" to the kids if they're good. jazzed instrumentals of hiphop songs is so intriguing to them. they actually listen to the music, the instruments. it's really neat how music affects the kids.
the last time i had a chance, i pumped them up with the beatles "white album", then i asked them the songs they knew off of jay-z's "black album", then flipped it around by letting them listen to the "grey album"... that floored them. they couldn't believe that sort of mix could happen. so good times.

i am so happy. i think i will dance!

4 photos, 4 dollars, 4 minutes

this is how we look withOUT our makeup on.

faces only a mother could love. to think, we all fit in that tiny photo booth. and all this because we didn't bring a camera to dimsum!

MY APOLOGIES!

so i was wondering WHY nobody wanted to comment on my blog anymore. not even my sister!! then i looked around... yeah i clicked on that moderate comments YES button and there was no email address saved to it. hehe... silly me. so to clarify, i haven't been ignoring everyone's comments. thanks for them all. reading them all at once made it feel like it was my birthday and i got to open all my presents at once!! :o)

to the comments i say:
- dancing is awesome... and i strive to be awesome too. thanks for the support/props.
- the beatles are awesome!
- i will lend you my piano when i can figure how to fit it in the envelope.
- fighting with sticks is awesome. i'll stop holding back when you want your butt kicked (this is directed to my cousin).

and yes, i originally put the moderation thing on because of stupid blog comment spam. i don't need to know ways to: pleasure my man, pleasure my woman, get cheap prescription drugs online, lose weight, or make more money without leaving the comfort of my own home. and, come to think of it, some chick called rashguardgirl might even be a spammer in the guise of a blogger!!

i feel like elmer fudd. oooh, those pesky wabbits!

have a good day friends... :o)

the b-girl is strong in me

one day i will be able to pull sweet floor moves as such. one day.

i'm only sleeping

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)

Please, don't wake me,
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am,
I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Til they find there's no need (There's no need)

Please, don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling...

Please, don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (Float up stream)

Please, don't wake me,
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am,
I'm only sleeping...

this song reminds me of when my sister and i were in university. we blasted this old beatles tape on saturday mornings. we always wondered why it was so bad that oasis was always biting the beatles' sound. we like that beatles sound (the later tracks, that is).

it's been a long day for me. too much work, too little rest. however, i am feeling a bit musical... despite it now being just past midnight, i think i'll tickle the ivories. maybe i can find some old oasis sheet music to play ;o)

i wish i had more time to:

play video games.
play the piano.
listen to and then mix music.
read books that I want to read.
practice my sweet b-girl moves.

i think i know what i want to be when i grow up: retired! ;op

halloween highlights

scary pumpkins... beetlejuice as a snake and the silhouette of the zombies from dawn of the dead.

mmm... candy!

yum... breakfast!

bwaaah haaa haaa haaaaaaaa!

procrastinating

that's what i'm doing right now. i've checked and replied to my email, i've checked who's been stalking me on friendster, i've updated my thinking is hard to do blog and now i'm updating this blog. as much as i'd like to be going out shopping or spending my hard-earned money in some way or another, i'm going to stay in today. what i should be doing is go to the bank to deposit $ and pay some bills, but instead, i think i might make a mix cd.

yes folks, i've acquired an acute case of laziness and i think it's contagious!!

argh!

ok, so i had a bad week.

it was only so bad cuz it started bad, then went totally good, then horribly bad, then waaay better, then better again jus a lil bit, then it went to suck, then it went to SO good, then it ended off with argh!!

it was like a roller coaster: i just wanted to get off! people that i hope are reading this know that they were not the reasons whatsoever for the "bad" in my week. you guys were totally the reasons this week was any good. i appreciate you... thank you.

HOWEVER, there is ONE person, who i know only reads my blog sometimes, who could really be one of the reasons why this week ended off the way it did. to YOU i say: thanks. thanks for making me realize the kind of person i DON'T want to be like. you were acting like a complete baby, and i expected a bit more maturity from you. call me when you grow up.

on that note... i'm off to bed.

craving

i need some music. it's like my ears are so hungry, they're starving. i'm almost finished with a mix cd (which is STILL in dire need of a title), and i'm hoping i'll be playing it in heavy rotation in my boom box... or in anyone's boom box for that matter. it's not that i doubt how good the cd will be... it's just that with music nowadays... well, i feel like it's been so iffy since after 2001. and i can't make a really good mix cd that i'm proud to give out unless i know that the music is the best there is at that point in time. there have been, and still are, the good artists, thank goodness for them. much like how i look at men, i'm more attracted to music with something intelligent to say instead of having just something to say. dig?

another season ended

yes my friends, the dragonboat season for rgl united has come to a close. i now can focus on stuff other than yelling at my friends for dragonboat. i can just yell at them for fun now! but seriously, i can't explain how much i enjoyed this season. not since my first year of dragonboating have i ever had such a blast. i think in this '04-'05 season my team only had about a handful of o.g.'s (original gangstas) but the newbies made the whole team fit together like tetris. props, you guys.

as for this past weekend, well, kelowna has always been a favorite festival of mine. and getting to meet and host albert's team from toronto was so cool. tempest is a comp team and you know what? i like that. i mean, after watching their first race, the only thing i could think of was "damn they're fast. i wanna race them!". of course people thought i was crazy to think united would even compare (we're rec), but just to be able to see how we fare up against them would be so neat. my dream came true in our second races of the day cuz we DID get to race them. man, it was cool... maybe even exhilerating... they beat the pants off of us. however, WE placed second. i thought that was quite an acheivement for us, especially compared to how we were in the beginning of the season. i know i'm just a caller, but i hope our team decides to be a bit more competitive next season. i would really enjoy it.

aside from festival stuff, things that highlighted the weekend:
- bonding with the girls ("hold my gold!" and "deuce deuces")
- buying fruits at the side of the road
- the gorgeous waterfront property we rented for the weekend
- costco dinner
- meeting and greeting tempest
- team naps under the sun
- hitting up the mission hill winery
- inter-team bonding: eating at the best chinese restaurant in kelowna (dragon inn)
- more inter-team bonding: clubbin at "gotcha"
- getting hyped for our last race by dancing the "team dance" in front of tempest
- seeing a wheelchair with rims (i wish i had my camera!)
- ice cream!
- keeping with tradition: a&w stop in merrit on the way back home

and after not being able to recuperate from the weekend, sleep will be my plan for today.

shout outs to my...

mario and annie

sleep?

this past weekend was sleepless. the highlight was my 10 year highschool reunion on saturday night, then the "post highschool reunion" dimsum the next morning. and of course, the big cheez: the guy i had a crush on since he first walked into our 8th grade english class had said that he had a crush on me in highschool! i know, i felt SO 15 years old for a minute. but yeah, even though it was just a highschool thing that probably wouldn't get anywhere nowadays, it still made me smile/blush a lil. overall, the night was a success. and for all the grads that were too cool to come out, too bad for you. there'll never be another one like it!

bonne nuit?
i DID get my sleeping a bit back to normal tho... and last night i had a strange dream. it was all in french! i was speaking in french to french people in paris... so strange...

spontaneous in seattle!

i had a really good weekend last weekend. just kicked it with some good friends. i mean, things didn't work out like they were originally planned, but everything turned out even better. van and kiwi both decided to come and meet up with me in seattle where we took over ron's crib for the weekend. his place never looked better after we were through with it. now, there's at least some place to sit! i'm sure we'll be stopping by more often now that we know there's a blank canvas of an apartment out there for us to decorate. thanks ron ;o)
there were a lot of highlights: the friday grocery shoppin extravaganza, the saturday "let's get ron a chair or anything!" target shoppin madness, and the sunday outlet cruisin (they even have a "christian outlet store"!). and we managed to hit up a club and a fancy japanese restaurant and get a almost free keg dinner in there too! i'm really, really happy i decided to go. it was good times, no? ;o)

oh my achin head!

well, it doesn't ache so much any more, but after counting up the hours of sleep i had this weekend, i'm surprised i'm already back to normal! las vegas was hilarious. 4 days, 3 nights, and maybe 9 hours was spent sleeping. my girls are crazy (and there were 8 of us in all!). we ate 5 buffet meals in 3 days, we hit up a club (sometimes 2) every night, we shopped the primm valley outlets very well (we needed a cart to get all our bags to the van!), we all got tanned, and everyone each had at least one moment immortalized in time thanks to the digital cameras... not like i'll post THEM shots up!.. like they say, what happens in vegas... hahaha, yeah right! what happened in vegas was some good old fashioned retarded fun. i like the fact that the only times i've ever been to vegas was for a stagette... who's got next, girls?

for my fans

... haha, yeah, i'm still imagining things. check it out: my profile

what we all really need...

... is a *big hug*.

i needed one a couple weeks back and when i finally got it, i felt a lot better.
i know that it's not even a real hug, but with my little virtual hug, i hope all of you who need it feel at least a little bit better. i'm thinkin bout you.

did you brain your damage?!

i really don't know how to say this. guys can be amazingly smart. but likewise, they can be amazingly stupid. now i'm sure that the guys reading this are rolling their eyes and saying "oh here she goes AGAIN!" but hear me out: it has nothing to do with any guy that is reading my blog. for real. you guys (the very exclusive and select few of you that there are) are way above this one guy's mental range. so please read on.

let's call him RS. he's a photographer, he does shoots for certain sporting events, he's got a decent makeshift studio in the basement of his parents' "vancouver special" house, and he's working on his portfolio for his little side business. he also has a girlfriend (who is 7 years his major) and they've been in their relationship for about 3 years, sex with each other being a part of only the first 2 years. she has issues where she thinks she's turning to sex just to make herself feel better... she doesn't wanna be like that so about a year ago, instead of changing her outlook on sex as a way to express her love to her significant other, she decided that she just wouldn't do it at all til her and RS get married. she told him if he wants to do other chicks because she's not putting out, she's cool with that. yeah... what the hell?!! that relationship is SO not healthy... i mean come on. if you're not seeing eye to eye (especially with topics you might rate high on your priorities list), you should really figure things out... and if it's still not up to your standards, just break up with the person already! don't make your situation the excuse for your actions.
now that's RS's life all in a nutshell... and apparently that is the reason why he HAD to act the way he did with me. see, we were shooting in his studio for this thing (i can't specify this), and he felt that this meant that it'd be cool for him to cop a feel. très unprofessional. i, being the classy lady i am, told him that the photo shoot was over and politely refrained from wrecking all his cool photography equipment. he proceeded to tell me his sob story and i was so surprised at how stupid and selfish he was acting. like common sense wasn't an option?! as if i wouldn't notice a guy trying to get at me! but for real... is he insane?! this could be a really big deal and he could really get into some serious shit (i cuss because that's how serious it is!)... endanger his job, his business, his reputation (if it was any good to begin with)... all because he went all horndog on a model. that's pretty pathetic.

i'm gonna write a letter to the people he works for (that i know of) and let them know that "RS should be relieved of his duties because he's gotta find a way to get laid by his girlfriend. until then, it would be unwise to let him be in the same room alone with anyone (female for now, but you never know how desperate he'll get) if his penis is in charge. thank you for your time. sincerely..."

planet asia

no, this name has nothing to do with planets or asia for that matter. i have no idea why a rapper would name himself that. however i guess i should do a bit more of a background check on him to understand where he's coming from. what i DO know about him is that he's from south central california, and he is all for keeping the west coast in the "rap game". now you give me one west coast rapper who is not overly proud to admit to his west coast heritage. i feel that the "rap game" IS kinda vain like that. "shout outs", "hollas", "props"... it's always been like that.
but i digress...
i went to the planet asia and afu ra concert at sonar last thursday. it was actually supposed to headline with inspectah deck, but due to whatever reasons it might have been, he got held up at the airport in vancouver. i think he couldn't even make it to any of his other canadian shows. anyways, after planet asia's set, he ended up kickin back and sittin right beside where me and my friends were at. he was hilarious. to every girl that passed by him, he'd reach out and take her wrist to pull her up to him and get his mack on. it was funny, cuz it happened to a blonde girl, then an asian girl, then a brunette... i was so impressed at his confidence that i turned to my friend and said "dude! i wonder if i walk past him if he'll grab my arm too!"... see, i'm not saying that i wanted to get picked up by him. them girls looked like they wanted to go home with someone that night. i was rollin wit my homies so really, i didn't need anymore testosterone. i jus thought that it'd be funny to see if, lookin plain as i do, i'd make the "cut". so yeah, i showed my friend exactly how i'd do it, pretendin to walk past with my arm extended, as if i'd be expecting him to grab it... and while we were giggling, planet asia turned to me, looked me in the eye and said "i can hear what you're thinkin!"... i was busted for clownin on him!! it was so funny. then i went up to him and was laughin cuz he pulled me close so that the brunette wouldn't here him say "you wanna know what i'm doin? i'm jus bull shittin... that's honestly what i'm doin." he was a funny guy. and as my friend said, i'm lucky he wasn't all diva bout it.
and that's my story.

a good cause

boy, is it ever hard being on a dragon boat team. it's like you put in so much time and effort, and despite it being a fun athletic and social activity, we are almost always in the red... too bad fundraising is the only way to bring us back up to 0. it gets harder and harder to get a turn out for the "club nights" we host. do i ever wish that people who just wanna go out and have a good night of dancing would just come to me and say "wow! would i EVER love to go out dancing and at the same time support your team!"...
verbally works, but if you holler via the comment link, that works too...

thursday, june 30th

holler atcha girl... if you feelin' this yo

when will it end?!!

when i wake up monday mornings, i usually don't freak out that the week is gonna suck like most people. i only work 4 days a week so really, it's already 1/4 of my work week on its way out. so by the end of tuesday, i'm pretty happy cuz wednesday and thursday are a breeze. but this week is going SO slowly. i feel like even though it's the last week of school, it won't end! we're still finalizing reportcards. we're still testing kids on their math skills. we're still trying to get back all the library books the kids haven't returned yet. at least the weather's pickin up.

a shout out to my kuya gary

why does kuya always seem to have to put up all the "bad" photos?.. it's like he doesn't think the good ones are enough! anyways, as much as i'd love to tell you how much my kuya stinks, i won't. he's still a pretty nice guy. like this whole weekend that just passed, i thought he was gonna be a complete diva. not like he's gay, he just likes to be the "prince" when he's up here. i mean, my mom loves him so much that what ever he wants to eat, she'll cook it. chicken adobo, particularly. but yeah, he wasn't as bad as i thought he might be. and plus he let me take photos of his performance on saturday night. i love takin photos. it was a great opportunity for me... i've never shot more than 200 photos in a two hour time frame. that was pretty fun. so yeah, i guess kuya is cool cuz he lets me play with his toys.

small world

so, my cousin and his wife came up to visit this past weekend from san francisco because their dance group, likha, was performing with one of vancouver's filipino dance groups, kababayang pilipino. i must say i had a really good time meeting and hanging out with all of kuya's dance friends. they're a bunch of cool cats. so are the kp dancers... and i even knew a handful of them already! i guess that's what happens when you're filipino and live in vancouver. if you don't already know them, you will. so that wasn't so tripped out, cuz it was kinda expected. but what was tripped out was that one of the guys from likha actually knew one of my best friends... and they had even kicked it together at one point in time (to my understanding). but yeah, i guess it works the same for them: they're both from the bay area.
now the pressure's on for me to join kp. i know kuya wants me to join likha... but i think my commute would eventually end up taking its toll on me. ;op

argh!

so i was having a good chat last night with a friend who will remain nameless (now and forever) and despite our downs and ups, we still try to see through it all and embrace each other's differences... yeah who am i trying to fool? i try to embrace his differences and i STILL am the one with the short end of the stick. ANYHOW, i must say it was a really good talk. i really started to understand things about him. and i felt like he was starting to see things from my point of view. no yellin or anything. yeah it was a real kodak moment... too bad he ended up just forgetting what the hell we were talkin about. i swear, if you forget deep, meaningful conversations like that, get your head checked. chances are you're only remembering what you WANT to remember. i don't have time to build upon a friendship when all it ends up being is a figment someone's imagination. and this isn't jus me talkin. anyone who's had a good conversation and then the person you were talkin to says "i forgot everything we jus talked about" would feel this way too. don't waste your time, there's a lot more you can do with your life... like getting a cavity filled.

on the other hand...
i did have a really good conversation with another really good friend... and it turned out good. and it's funny cuz if i didn't decide to forward some silly "forward" to her, i don't know if i woulda had that conversation with her today. i must say, not only did i need it, after the retarded one i had with "forgetful jones" last night, but also cuz she and i can relate really well with our lives right now... i mean, both of us aren't in great situations at all, but at least we both see it in the same way. it's good to know that someone's there right beside you in the pile of mess, feeling just like you do, instead of being outside lookin in.

conclusion
boys don't listen. take it from me... they're nice to look at and fun to play with... but if you talk to them, somehow the words coming outta our mouths turns into that muffled trumpet sound that charlie brown and his peanuts gang hear coming from all the adults in the cartoon. so unless the guy you talk to likes brass instruments, just don't bother talkin to them.

boys

the big question is: what to do with them?
we can have several answers to this question but let's try to sum it up in just a few...

- we can love them
- we can leave them
- we can love them, THEN leave them (yeah, like leave them in our wake!)

i think that covers most answers in a fairly broad sense. if i'm missing any important parts, just holla in the comment box.

the topic of boys is currently pickin at my brain cuz... well, i've been out of it for a couple years now (at least). and now, situations arise... and while the "old me" woulda known that option 3 was the ONLY option (yeah, i was EVIL to guys), the "present me" is a totally soft boiled version of the "old me", where there are options 1 and 2 now in the mix. it was easier back when i didn't give a damn about guys' feelings. they always thought they could get me, but little did they know that i was a commitment-phobe! i guess that's what made it easy. now, i can totally picture commitment (not right away, but like eventually in a relationship), but nobody is lookin at the same picture as me. harsh!

what would jennifer aniston do?

so i read an article just last night from last weekend's globe and mail... it talked of how jennifer aniston probably doesn't like anything to do with mother's day (issues with her and her mom, not wanting to have children, brad...). anyways, the writer was saying how she should just get into an all out cat-fight with angelina jolie regarding the scandalousness of angelina and brad. the writer wrote that it'd probably do jennifer some good instead of her just moping around and withering away into the thickness of a pretzel (writer's words, not mines). at first i agreed. maybe letting angelina have it would be good... but then i thought about it. what good would that do? angelina oozes with sex appeal. she could get whoever she wants. when she's done with brad, she'll dump him, no doubt. she's way too independant to have a sensitive guy like him weighing her down (and don't even get me started on guys!). and she's sooo much younger. she has the time to find a more suitable mate. and who's to say that she won't get back (again) with billy bob, even for just a minute? i think jennifer is doing just fine. she's chillin like she should be... and so what if she's withering away? if you were to lose the one you love to some curvaceous, eye-catching, homewrecking ho, wouldn't you be even a little bit upset? and being upset throws your appetite off whack. and the options are that she'd either be a waif, or she'd get fat. from personal experience, food just doesn't have the same appeal when you eat it and you're single as opposed to when you've got someone (i am currently weighing in at 93 pounds... just barely!.. yeah it's rough.). i wonder if brad's ever gonna realize that he let a good thing go. i wonder what jennifer's doing to keep sane. i wish i could call her up and ask her if she wants to hang. anyways, not like i follow the hollywood gossip, but it's just my opinion.

SNOW DAY!!!

yes, i just wanted to rub this in... the first snowfall of the year in the city started today at about 7am and it has successfully closed our school for tomorrow and hopefully on monday too. to those who doubted me: the weather network never lies. now, if you don't mind, i'll be suiting up to make some snowmen.

talent

do you know how hard it is to find some really talented people? not hard at all. as was proven to me by dizz as he showed me this little home movie (complete with trailers and special features) that our friends from da pac had made. wow, they really impressed me. this wasn't your run-of-the-mill blair witch project hand-held garbage. it was well planned, executed and edited. and i'll never look at pandas the same ever again.
