hey bitches!

Happy new years!

There isnt a sense of sadness that an other year is passing by as i waited for the count down. Not that the year wasn’t good, but i wouldn’t say: ‘i wish i could do it again’. The only sour feeling i had was probably wishing i was there while i was watching the ball drop in times square on tv. I sort of have this strange optimistic feeling towards 2009. But it could just be my fetish about odd numbers. Either way, i look foward to make the best use of it.

Mama mia,

what a gay show,

BORING!

can’t believe we watched it.

Mama mia,

here we go again,

BORING!

Janet totally loved it.

I am enjoying this unusual cold weather in Vancouver.

I like the snow, i like the crisp air, i like to scream ‘coooooooooold!’ when i step outside.

I was driving to work the other day after the first big snow dump, and i thought to myself, i think i like driving with snow on the ground. I mean, yah sure you gotta be extra careful, but if you step back and look around, every other car on the road just seems super mellow because no one really cares if you’re going 10km below the speed limit. It is beautiful no matter where you go, because they’re all covered with white snow. I wish the drive to work every morning was this pleasant.

Its been a full week since i got back from Los cabos. It was probably the most chillax trip i’ve ever taken. There wasnt any rush to go site seeing, no daily plans, and no lack of sleep. I’d wake up, and i’d head to the beach for some early tanning. And if i’m feeling athletic, i’d go for a run on the beach or a dip into the water. And when i’m done, i’d meet up with the guys to get ready to head out and hunt for breakfast around the city.

One of my favorite part is walking around the city away from the resorts, beacause thats about as close as we’d get to see the ‘real’ mexican living. We went to a few restaurants where the locals would eat, and it was just amazing. The food was authentic and rustic. Nothing beats sitting outdoors at night in plastic chairs with a couple semi-lit light bulbs above you, drinking coke in a glass bottle and eating the freshest meal cooked a few steps away from you. I choose this over fancy restaurants, any day.

One week is definitly too short for a vacation, but weirdly enough, everyday seemed like a 36 hour day. The weather was so ridiculously beautiful, that it’s hard believe that this is life in November. I spent so much time on the beach that when i lay on my bed at night i could still feel the sand pressing against the bottom of my feet… what a wonderful feeling, and i miss it.

imagine.. you’re going for a swim at the Y, where it was just last week you were in cabos swimming at the beach and getting stung by a jellyfish.

Time to start packin’!

The excitement of going to los cabos has finally hit me on my drive home from work today. It felt like I was taking my last final exam of the term, it aint over until its over. And when it’s over, what a relief feeling it is.

So now i’m taking it all in, and now i’m gonna mean it when i say:

BYE BITCHES!

Totally awesome deal! Travellers go get this at walmart:

This kit includes a tooth brush, tooth paste, shaving cream, shampoo, conditioner, razor, sun block, moisturizing lotion, and a pack of lozenges, all in on-plane regulation sizes and nicely fitted in the plastic zip up bag for a total of: $4.97!  Go Walmart!

Not so totally awesome deal, R.E.D. Reya Helmet. I got this at regular price, but its soooo comfortable! The only down side to this helmet is the clip at the back of the helmet thats supposed to hold your goggles is stupidly design to fit goggles that do not have a buckle release. And coincidentally i own a pair of goggles that has a buckle release right at where its supposed to fit on the helmet. How convenient. Goggles shopping time! (again).

omfg my boss reads my blog!!

what.a.stalker.

Say hi to your mother for me, alright?

It has been 10 months since i got seated on an airplane. I have spoiled myself too much for the past 3 years with all the places i went to. Now I feel like i’ve just been idling since March, auto piloting the never ending routine.

Although i never liked being in the plane, i actually really liked the boarding area. I like the excitement and the anticipation you wander about the new place you’re about the step on in the next few hours. I like reminiscing the trip in exhausion while sitting on the very uncomfortable airport chairs, waiting to board the flight home. Sometimes, the wait could be a while, but i never minded them. Because time seems to stall while you’re waiting there, and i’d always get a little disappointed they start to annouce the seating rows, because that means its time to move on, time to get closer to return to the everyday.

I want to go. 

30 days to Mexico.

I did not vote!

I didnt vote because i figured it is more important to finish my already delayed project than to go vote for a party to run Canada. Oh well, its the thought that counts right? I support whoever my friends voted for [except for the conservatives, coz god's plan sucks]. This girl didnt rock the vote today, dont kill me celebrities! oh wait, i’m not in america. phew!
