We Are Scientists

sick concert at the Horseshoe Tavern last night! they started at about 11:10 and didn't finish till about 12:30 and it was wild.. people jumped on stage at the last song...amazing!! i bought a tee from Keith Murray, the lead singer and he's super nice! Great set list too! a good mix of the first, second, and third album...they did play Ghouls though.. not too fond of that song at all :S and normally after i hear it live, i'll start liking the song...but still don't like it!

oh well.. Chris Cain was super cool! i love him! literally stood beside the speaker.. note to self, do not go towards the sides! but luckily i still didn't come out deaf! man, what a great concert.. LOVE small concerts like this!

doesn't anyone stand on their own two feet anymore? or does everyone expect to be spoon fed every minute of their lives?

interesting morning adventure

Holy moly.. crazy morning

1. Leave the house, walked halfway to the bus stop, realized I forgot my headphones

2. Go back home, get my headphones, walk back to the bus stop

3. Realized I forgot ym wallet, so I go back home AGAIN to get it

4. Get on the subway .. and then at PAPE station they announce that thers a personal injury (I bet someone jumped) and they close off pape to st George station.. AAh

5. Get off at pape.. takes me 20 minutes to get OUT of pape station and thers a HUGE crowd just waiting to get on shuttle busses.. so I decide to walk

6. Walked from pape station to castle frank station.... took a nice picture off the bloor bridge over bayview and dvp :)

7. Got on the subway and finally got to work just after 10am lol

8. Now im enjoying a sausage eg mcmuffin (no butter).. :D do I even need to go to the gym today? hahaha

BYE 2009 HI 2010!

so pretty

Memories

i started watching some of the videos i recorded on my camera when i went to the Metric concert..and it was AMAZING :) brings back memories! it was such a great concert..too bad i was in the upper balcony, otherwise i wouldve been able to score some great photos of Emily Haines up close and personal! as well as record the greatest videos ever!!!

i was in the middle of uploading my video and then i realized there was a blurb saying that this was totally illegal :( BAH

hmmm what else.. i just wanted to say that i'm really happy with my boyfriend :) i have to let it out somewhere and i decided i should maybe put it on a blog for the world to read..although i'm pretty sure i don't get many hits! WIN! but anyway, i just feel that we're both so compatible in so many ways...and that i'm so lucky i was introduced to him... he's THE biggest goofball ever...but i love that about him...even though sometimes i do get tired of his jokes..(haha yes .. i really do)... almost everytime after i think that, i say to myself..."are you crazy? how can you be sick of his jokes? if he didn't make jokes, he'd be your typical, boring, boyfriend" and immediately, i snap out of it and am captured again by his humour. that's whats so different about him. he never stops! and i think thats what keeps us going. its safe to say that for me, every single time i see him.... (yes, EVERY SINGLE TIME), i say to myself.. i love this guy..and i get the BIGGEST smile on my face.. and it's something i can't help either... it's so rare that we get into fights.. i don't even think we've ever gotten into a huge one...but fights happen and we get over it. mind you, some of these fights are because of my stupidity, but he's still there. beside me through thick and thin. I'm really glad we get along so well. he's everything i could ever ask for. i LOVE how i can talk about fashion with this guy and totally understand what i'm talking about. how many boyfriends can you do that with? and i'm not talking about just "oh do you like this shirt?" kind of talk.. we talk about our favorite fashion bloggers and stuff..and this is a huge deal for me because i can't even talk to my girl friends about my favourite bloggers..or the fact that we would both take pictures of ourselves and our outfits and post them on the internet! i kept that secret to myself and him for such a long time because i was scared of what other people would think of me!!.. hahaha ok this is starting to sound lame... the point i'm trying to make is that i'm so happy we have things in common to talk about and that we never run out of things to say to each other. i can be myself 100% with him... i think its safe to say that we treat each other so well with equality.. he lets me pay for things and he lets me do what i want to do.. he doesn't tell me what i can and can't do..he lets me do things i want and he trusts me. i can honestly say that i've never thought about dating another guy or seeing someone else because i'm always comparing these people with him and it really can't get much better than that.. i think our spark just gets brighter and brighter and i'm SO excited to (hopefully) spend the rest of my life with...this is just the beginning and thinking about the future just makes me so happy :) i think this is starting to sound like a creepy psycho profession of love/obsession...its not.. i'm just doing this for fun and step back and just realize what i've got..and i realize that i'm pretty damn lucky.

you mekk me heppy "less than three" kekekekekekkekekke

amazing

!!!@#$!@#$!

i pre ordered teh ps3 slim :):) waiting for it! im so excited!

also bought an ipod touch :):)

so excited for all my new toys to come...that should do the trick to keep myself entertained since i always seem to have free time

fuck if its not school i'm dealing with its soemthing else.. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING IN THE FUCKING WAY. its not YOU who's paying for it.. IT'S ME.

by far the saddest thign i've ever seen, who knew a 50 second video would make me cry so hard.

we love you michael. you'll be with us forever. <3

employed

So...i didn't get the job at Truition...but thats okay.. enjoyed my first week at CIBC ..its alright..not too bad kinda boring now cuz its just training..but imsure i'll pick up soon!! its all good!!!!

R.I.P

Rest in peace Michael Jackson... even though you turned a little crazy near the end of your life, we all still loved you and your music. you inspired MANY and will definitely live on through your music...YOU ROCKED!!!

status update on LIFE

SO.. i guess based on my last real blog post, i still hadnt found a job? well, i've got one now!!! here's the situation, i got the one from CIBC..position is a client and advisor specialist.. i basically follow "instructions" sent from clients (which are other companies) and do what they tell me to with their money..so i help monitor and facilitate their funds and stuff liek that..pensions trades..etc.. i dunno.. FINANCE IS BORING AND CONFUSING..but its a 6 month contract, no benefits, i make about 15k for the 6 months im there....

on the other hand, i just had my 2nd interview with a company called Truition as a Web Usability/QA Analyst. they help build ecommerce websites for such clients as MLB, Sirius, Phillips, NBC, etc....my job is to TEST the website before it goes live.....sounds pretty exciting because they say they're getting more and more busy.. also makes sense.. these days, ecommerce is doing much better than brick-and-mortar stores correct?? its definitely a growing trend right now in the retail industry. ANYWHO this is a permanant full time job..probably with benefits and stuff like that.. so yeah..

i find out today or tmr if i get the job...and first day at cibc is on monday.. :| if i get the truition one, im quitting cibc.. not sure what to tell them or how im going to go about doing it yet.... :S says in the contract that they need a 10 day written notice..... sooo yeah . does email count as written?? LOL...

other than that...not much else going on really... life is beginning :(

my convocation was last week..woot! my brother's was yesterday... WOOT..

sneaking in an EDGEFEST photo :) metric was awesomeeeeeeeee along with the stills, billy talent... dang

WE DONE!

gahhhhh

stressed and easily annoyed

still nothing

damn i shouldn't have came back to my blog for a revisit... just seeing those cuba and alaska pictures make me MISS MY VACATIONS LIKE CRAZYYYYYYY fuck cuba was amazing
and then alaska...was just pure relaxation.. no care in the world!!!!

ugh..its about week 4 of my job hunt... i've had 2 interviews this week...for CIBC Mellon...not exactly what I had planned for myself..but its a 6 month contract and hey! it pays! i do have an interview though this monday for a company called Truition. i hope i get that one instead... :S we'll see what happens i guss..its about time people start callign me back!! UGH i really need money

anyway aside from that miserable life stuff, bbq this weekend!! the first of the summer!! for me at least... well does bbqing burgers for dinner and eating insdie count??? :S nahhhhhhh this weekend's weather is gonna be beautiful.. TODAY is definitely hyping it up for me :)

woot

being unemployed

being unemployed sucks.. i have no one to talk to cuz everyone's at work.. by being employed, i'll have new friends to talk to while i'm working... :( i also make money :(

Status update

HA!. status update... my status is currently SEARCHING FOR A JOB!!! someone help meeeeee! i feel like i've applied to everything.... so my next step is to visit corporate websites!

anyway, i miss travelling.. haha i nkow i didn't go to many places but i miss having something to do!! cuba was amazing!!!!! :D and alaska was just at the other end of the spectrum! SO GORGEOUS!!! gah cuba AND alaska were so breath taking... i mean, things they see EVERYDAY is just so amazing to me!! gah... stupid toronto and zero nature.....

ever since i came back though, i must say, i've been feeling so relaxed (minus the stress from job hunting)..everythings going well!! i like things the way they are.. (minus the no income) LOL.... i hope every one's doing good too!

things i want to do in the summer

OK! time to somewhat plan out some goals for the summer!

• go to yogoberry cuz it looks so delicious
• go to taste of danforth (is that in the summer?)
• get a job
• get my g license
• graduate
• celebrate my birthday (with a bang!)
• watch the boxset for several tv shows (hopefully with someone... anyone??)
  

hahaah ok this list isnt as good as i thouhgt...but the license, job, and yogoberri are pretty solid goals hahaha :)

btw....i'm going to cuba.. what medicine should i bring if my stomach is feeling uneasy?? is that what peptol bismol is for?? are there any PILL substitutes?

almost there!

gah! finished my second exam today!!! just one take home due and my marketing one left to go!!! SO EXCITED..these 4 years went by SO fast and i can honestly say i had a better time in univ than in high school... met much better friends that i can probably call real LIFE friends... :)

on the other hand theres this stupid show on MTV ..reality show ... of course. called College life... and these kids think its gonna be SOO DIFFERENT... maybe it is in the states...but..who nkows... they hype it up so much.. and they look so OLD...!!! *sigh* do i wish i was a freshman again? nahh..well sorta.. :(

us against the world
