So I am done my first month of school! All I can say is I am loving every minute of it. I have a group of good friends, and some grand experiences to look forward too. To wake up every morning and to look forward to seeing these people brings back some needed joy in my life.

I have come into this world of good people, who dont judge without reason; and who love me and dont want to change me.

I am so looking forward to the next year and a half, and perhaps a 4 month study in France during my last semester financial situation permitting.

Though I have an 8 course work load, and find myself somewhat challenged. I am looking forward to succeeding in my chosen profession after graduation.

Let the Travel begin!

How the wild winds of winter blow

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:15:57 GMT

So Yule is Monday, the start of the winter equinox. Angie and myself are planning a grand Yule feast, full of roast beast and good times, much merriment and drinking.

Tomorrow is All u can eat Japanese at Mariko and then Karaoke at BMB with the RAVEN crew. I am thoroughly looking forward to that. As I havent been out to Karaoke since the last time Goldie Paul Kari, and myself went.

I cant seem to put down the book Goldie gave me to read, its quite good.

Im also incredibly happy, since I have been out to visit my sister and Angie , both of them have commented I am loosing weight , and while most people might now know , my sister will not give credit where credit is not due. Angie is the same.

School is starting next month, and as it draws closer I find myself more excited, however Im worried as well. Its been a couple of years since I set foot inside a classroom and despite being happy for myself I always have pre education jitters. I need to get more involved in this program, I plan to go to France in the 4th semester to work and study. However its extremely pricey, So Im hoping, with some saving and good luck I will be able to attain that goal.

Well Im off to do Yule shopping, peace!

Friends only deal with it.

Hello all,

So I have decided with much reluctance to stop using LJ publicly . All my posts will now be friends only or private. At some points I will do live posts, but that will be far and few between.

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:40:28 GMT

Hello all ,

So the anniversary of my mothers death is coming up soon she died last year , and it figures that the gods would take her from me on the birth of our much beloved country. So at times I find there can never be celebration for me on that day, however id like to think that I could celebrate her lust for life and her love for being free and therefore I could celebrate Canada Day and my moms life, however I am finding it harder everyday as the date comes closer .

I have however come to accept that her death, in that it has brought her peace that nothing in this world ever could. I love her and I will miss her very much.

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:16:36 GMT

According to LJ its been 4 weeks since my last rant or confession. Since David has also pointed this out I have been wondering what could possibly be so important that id have to post it.... to be frank .... nothing right now is...

I honestly have nothing good or bad to say. Ill try to update again once I can.

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:01:50 GMT

Hi,

So I saw watchmen this weekend. It was good, though at times a little too gruesome for me.

So my saturday was great. Sunday however not so much, my cough has returned and though I have tried my best to keep from getting another one , it never seems to help.

My poor lungs......

I've also been getting these moments of feeling absolute dread or loniness, I have to continue to push through it and remind myself it can and will pass.

I haven't seen much of anyone lately. Work is a priority and it causes me to have very little free time, and since the time I have outside of work is so little, I just end up doing nothing with it except being tired and not wanting to do anything.

Its depressing actually.

Work

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 16:22:26 GMT

So,

As many of you may know I love to sing, and I have this unhealthy addiction to music :P Where ever I am, I am either humming a tune or have a song playing in my head, or I am talking to someone about how much I hate the way the main stream music industry is going.

I have decided to openly state that I am and have been persuing this love a little further by getting professional lessons. I have been working with a fabulous teacher who has reminded me on the core values of the art. She has made me love music as a hobby again. Sadly there was a few years where I felt like there was no point and that I could never hope to be as good as some of my favourite opera singers, my instructor has renewed my love for the art.

So occasionally you might read little blurbs on how I am doing with this.

Also, does anyone know a good rate for a recording studio?

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:58:44 GMT

Well some good news!

I got a pay raise! I got a promotion! I have a cold? ok, that not really good news , but its that season.

So in April Brian and I are planning on going to the Dominican for a much needed vacation, and while I am estatic about this ventre to the tropics I start to thinking that I am petrified of large bodies of water..... How will I cope?, well I have a system in place, I will swim in shallow water so I can avoid the nastiness of sharks and larger fishes. Brian will make with the snorkelling, and I will pray that the sharks are scared of his mad kung fu panda skills.

Yes in this case I am a scaredy Kat!

But I want a tan, and I want free beverages of the booze like nature oh and nice white sand beaches... so yes I will have to think of all the grand and fabulous things that await me.

Then perhaps I wont be so scared, also... I should really stop watching shark attack videos on you tube... or looking up the chances of death in coral reefs... ughhh

why do I do this?

STUPID!

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:06:09 GMT

There are occasions where people feel that they can get away with making a stupid remark or acting in a stupid way. I can only deal with so much before I seriously have to consider wether or not this person or persons even knows what the hell they think they are doing, and ask them to explain to me how they feel they have the right to get away with it.

My largest and most hatest level of stupidity are people who talk about other behind their backs with very little information of actual truth about the situation and dont think that it wont get back to the person who it would hurt the most . I really feel sorry for those people. Cause they are dumb enough to think that someone wont talk.

So since I have obviously shown that people have eyes and ears everywhere, be careful what you talk about, cause honestly you tell the wrong person chances are the wrong person will hear about it.

People should realize that the worst possible thing you can do to a friend is talk about all these things bad about them behind their back and not allow them to change so you have something to talk about when your bored. Wakeup you fucktards! it doesnt make you a friend it makes you evil.

A friend will let you know what that they feel you are doing something that may create tension. Thats a true friend, I have a small level of friends like this. Who I trust to do the right thing, other than just fit in with a crowd.

Peace.

OMG!

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:04:55 GMT

Wow its been crazy long since I have posted here.

Life is going good, my health is bleh but thats to be expected. It specialist this and dietian that.

I plan on flying to the tropics in April for my 24th birthday, since I havent really had a vacation in over 8 years. Many adventures, but no actual lay on the beach and relax type of vacation. Its about freaking time!

Finally got glasses, they are quaint. My hope is that they are going to help with the severe headaches I get staring at a PC screen all day. Also, im nearsighted...its not too bad though almost nothing -.75 and -.50 .

I am waiting for spring.... I hate this cold weather.

My hair is red now. I had to chop it quite a bit , so much damage from everything. Weather, Stress.

My father's birthday was on the 23rd I miss him.... I called my cusion
Lidia yesterday Im planning on going to Italy to see were my father grewup, you know to get connected and what not.

I still plan on changing my last name. And recieving duel citizenship, so I can work in Europe if I want or anywhere in Italy, but thats a long ways away.

Starting driving lessons soon. My G1 is about to expire :(

In Flanders Feilds the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row
That mark our Place in the Sky
The Larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce amid to the guns below

We are the dead short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved
And now we lie in Flandes Fields

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from falling hands we throw
the tourch be yours hold it high
If ye Breaks faith with us who die
We shall not sleep through the poppies grow
In flanders Feilds

In memory of my Father who fought in ITALY and died here.....

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:42:04 GMT

Hello all who take the time to read this.

Its currently 2:28 and Friday November the 7th. I have recently discovered the gym again, after a horrible 2 weeks of the plauge which started monday october 20th with a high fever of 102 and ended finally after halloween.

I work out 3 to 4 times a week now. I find excerise to be the easist part of this need to go back to the way my body was 5 years ago, its the eating healthy and life stlye change thats the problem. As you can imagine, I have no problem eating or purchasing healthy foods....there are other issues there.

I actually love whole wheat pasta, yogurt, fruits, brocooli and the fine assortment of foods that will make me healthier.

As of late I find myself bored, which is never good for me, being bored causes a whole lot of shit in my life cause I start to think.

Which brings me to my next point.

I might have to old off my plans for Japan until 2010 since money needs to go towards financing an education. I am the reverse when it comes to my industry and interest, I have the Xp now I need the papers. I am thinking something in the social work or youth work industry. More so, I would like to work for the government.

Halloween was good. Samhain was better.

Im not really looking forward to Yule. Cause my parents wont be there.

I have sort of been adopted by Brians family, so I wont be lonley.

I guess Im done.

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:53:13 GMT

So I went and got two new male beta's and a female beta yesterday @ PJ's Yorkdale. All of them are so pretty and are yet to be named idea's anyone?

I graduate from training at the new work place today, when I was handed my certificate I was told I knew more about the Asian culture than my trainer who is Asian how incredibly akward!

I got my hair cut and styled on friday, (refer to my facebook photo)

Around 7pm we will be heading to Mandarin for graduation dinner...funnnnn

I feel like a bloated whale because these past 2 nights I have eaten out for dinner even though I have ample amounts of food at home.

Saturday night was Ryons going away party thing! it was wonderfull I bought Ryon a blow job and wished him a safe trip back to Japan!

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:00:18 GMT

So I had my final test in training today. Needless to say I am damn nervous, its completely normal I think when your job is on the line and you need to attatin 80 percent or you are let go.

I have been trying my best to head to the gym 3 times a week, and if I dont
I try my best to work out in other ways. Be it, walking, dancing, sex?

So I have also decided that after training, and when my job becomes more stable, I will be heading down the road of vocal lessons, to see what I can salvage of my voice.

Lets see how that turns out.

I have my parents memories looming over me as of late, I draw on all their good qualities to give me strength in the times ahead. I hope they are well.

In other news:

My fish Orion died today... he was a pretty blue beta that I rescued from a previous co-worker who wanted to flush him down the toliet. I had him in good health for almost 2 years. My poor purty fishy...

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:20:43 GMT

I know I promised to a few people that I would no longer moan and groan on LJ.

However, today is an exception. So @ the new job we had our first test in training, I scored in the 90's which sort of dissapointed me cause I was aiming for 100 percent.

So I txt my bestfriend to tell him all about how good I was feeling about said score, no response. It's about 7:18 pm and I have not even gotten a congrats or a you see there was nothing to it. Just dead air. I know I usually freak out and hope the person is okay, so I did. Still no response.

So here I am now, stilling at work on lunch wondering why I cannot get a hold of bestfriend! Now this may sound a little crazy, obssesive even, but any other day I would not care as much as I do today!

Now I share it with my LJ and hope that people are listeing.

I passed my first assessment 95.06 percent! woot!

*bows*

UPDATE: So apparently my best friend had layed comatose for 15 hours sleeping off jet lag from Japan. However, now he is back on Japan's clock so who knows
how this will fair for him.

Sorry David :(

Thank you

Hello,

So I am leaving for Japan in 2 days, everyone around me agree's that it was about time I took a much needed vacation. I will be uploading videos as much as I can. I am very nervous, I havent been on a plane since I was 16.

I think I do need it. This past month and a half has been hell for me. I've lost both my parents , one to COPD and the other a heart attack , and I feel that coping with it has been a roller coaster of acceptance and sadness.

I have been silent till now, cause I needed time to accept that this was it, and I wont see them smile or laugh or cry or yell again. I am still in shock, I still cannot believe it.

My mother was a good person, she just had some really bad habits.
My father was a good person, he just hated the fact that he was getting old.

Both of my parents taught me to live life to the fullest and to love and appreciate everything
I have. My only regrets are my own and I still have a lot of healing to do. I suppose they are
together now, and that makes me happy and lightens my spirits a bit.

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:27:11 GMT

Loss is something I know all to well lately. My mother died three days ago, a heart attack.
You know what they say at times, once one goes the other follows. I just cannot believe that they are both gone now. I feel like an orphan.

Im still planning on going to Japan in 2 weeks, however I hope it will help with the grieving process.

I miss them both so much... it just makes me very very sad.

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:30:08 GMT

So I am being crossed trained into Portables now for Apple. This amuses me.

I have a headache, this weather...grrrrr! Its going to be a hot next three days, thank the gods for the forecasted rain thats coming with it. It may be humid, but at least a thunderstorm will lightening my spirits.

I miss my dad.

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:25:41 GMT

Well for some good news. Call flow is low, 8-12 min between calls. My shift has been changed to reasonable hours, like a 9-6 shift! hurahhhh! no more 3:30-midnight shifts!

I will be getting home at a reasonable hour, and be able to eat my lunch at noon and my supper before 1 am :P

Mon, 26 May 2008 15:45:28 GMT

My father died on Saturday....

Fri, 09 May 2008 02:32:41 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am at work right now trying my best to stay awake (screaming baby at 3 am not cool) my sisters Stella and Amanda were staying a couple of days with me with Amanda's 8 month old Lucas. They found their own little nook though , so they should be moving in this weekend.

I will miss them, Stella's cooking is soo yummy!

Right now I am also trying to nurse a headache while anticipating an email from David (my Kana lesson for this evening)
