  • The good news: I'm on track with my three goals for this summer. I had my eye exam last Thursday and updated my prescription, so now I have new lenses in my glasses and will pick up my contact lenses tomorrow afternoon…

  • My two cents

    Warning: X-Men: The Last Stand spoilers! I think everyone has already given their opinion on this movie, so I might as well throw mine into the pot. Last night Peter and I went to see X3 with Oscar, Sonia, and their …

  • TTC Strike. FUCK! Okay, I gotta figure out what to do and how to get to work. //EDIT: 11:04 a.m. I managed to get to the office, thanks to my brother-in-law Oscar. If he hadn't come to pick me up, I would probab…

  • In a little over an hour, Peter and I will be heading over to Fly Nightclub to hear DJ Tracy Young spin. I'm sure some of you are thinking, "Yeah, so?" Tracy Young was spinning the night Peter and I first kissed. …

  • Last night Peter and I got a chance to see the Blue Man Group. The tickets normally sell for CAD$53 each, but we went for FREE thanks to Matti and his legs. The performance was an interesting mix of multimedia, percu…

  • I'm physically at work, but mentally I've already quit.

  • I'm so sleepy. *yawn* The long weekend was great. I had a fantastic time, so I have no complaints. Only drawback is that I averaged about 6 hours of sleep over three nights. Plus, last night Peter and I went to se…

  • Weekend Recap

    Wow, what an awesome, event filled, fun weekend it's been!!! Friday Taught BodyCombat class Met up with Peter and had a relaxing evening at home watching the American Dad DVDs that he had bought Saturday …

  • The DaVinci Code Long Weekend

    Unless you've been hiding under a rock somewhere for the past week, you're probably aware that The DaVinci Code is premiering in theatres around the world this weekend. I find it amusing that there's so much controversy…

  • So I guess all I had to do to get cracking on those three tasks was to put them up on-line for everyone to see. In the span of 24 hours I've managed to find a place to take my driving lessons and register (I start on …

  • Procrastination

    There are three things that I've been meaning to do for the longest time, but never get around to doing. There was no sense of urgency, so I either forget to do them or kept putting them off for whatever reason. But al…

  • Toronto Real Esate

    When my parents arrived in Canada 30+ years ago, they had very little money, basic eduation, and couldn't speak English at all. But they managed to find manual labour jobs (my mom cleaned hospitals and offices, my dad w…

  • Yesterday was a lot more relaxing than I had expected. It was just me, my mom, siter, and brother-in-law hanging out at my mother's place, eating Chinese food and my mom's homemade tiramisu. My mom makes awesome tirami…

  • Mother's Day is on Sunday. This year, instead of buying her a gift, we're just going to relax at her home with my aunt, uncle, and cousins and eat lunch together. My sister and I will buy some Portuguese style chicken,…

  • Quick Recovery?

    I survived yesterday and today! Thankfully no one was hurt. And I'm even more grateful that I didn't have to suffer nasty caffeine withdrawl headaches! But man was I cranky and irritable yesterday! Today I was just…

  • WARNING! You'll probably want to stay away from me over the next couple of days. I'm going to be cutting back my caffeine intake significantly, which means one thing: I'm going to be suffering from withdrawl symptoms. …

  • I had my second personal training session yesterday after work. My trainer, Jonathan, also happens to be a friend of mine, so it makes for a very entertaining hour. He cracks jokes at the worst times though, making me …

  • Monday mornings are never fun. I'll be updating more bit by bit throughout the day... //EDIT: 11:09 a.m.: We get a lot of new students starting class on Monday mornings. They are supposed to be here by 8:30 a.m. so …

  • Pretty packaging

    Most actors and comedians will tell you that the hardest part of their job is the delivery. The message is quite often secondary to the way it is conveyed. Two comedians, for example, can tell the same joke in differen…

  • 51 days to go?!

    Yesterday, after a particularly long and grueling day at the office, I went to the gym and had a good workout. I focused on my legs, which is something I haven't done in a long time. I expected to not be able to walk t…

  • Wine lesson #1: Drinking Chardonnay after having had a glass of Riesling is NOT a good idea. I won't be making that mistake again any time soon. Being sick is apparently a sure fire, rapid way to lose weight. Not…

  • Back to work

    My three-day weekend is over, and I am back at the office once more. Surprisingly there isn't too much for me to catch up on. My colleagues were sympathetic to my plight and took care of everything they could on my b…

  • Progress report: 95% recovered

    I feel a whole lot better today, for a number of reasons: My fever broke and the aches are gone. My throat still feels a bit raw, but I don't have to talk much today because... I called in sick! Being sick on a be…
