Oh Canada!

It feels good to win a hockey game... I feel so patriotic. It was a good game, it had everything you could want from a hockey game. Too bad this wasn't for the gold medal but still feels good to beat the rivals south of the border. Now if we can do the same with our olympic team this winter all will be good. 

So I'm just blasting my speakers, enjoying some bbc radio 1... all the way from the UK! They have good music over there... good thing for the internet I can listen to it as well! Woohoo! I guess this new years eve will be me and my music... again. When will I get to experience new years eve doing something fun and exciting? I really want to go to NYC even though I know it will be PACKED! I think it'll be a good experience... or even to spend nye somewhere beside my basement room with my own "party" happening.

I guess I will have to wait another year to see if anything will change. I'm just happy canada won tonight!

T-Minus 18 Days - HAPP NEW YEARS!

So long 2009, HELLO 2010!

I was talking to the person cutting my hair and we were talking about how people will call the year 2010. We called the year 2009, 09... so will we call the year 2010, 10? LOL That just sounds silly.

"Hey what year is it?"
"10!"
"What?!"
"10!"
"You mean 20-10?"
"Yeah..."

20-10 rolls off the tongue and sounds pretty good.

So I'm hear sitting in my basement room on new years eve with no plans. I'm just watching the world jr. canada vs usa game. It's a pretty good game so far but its 3-2 usa, end of the 2nd period... damn those two short handed goals! C'mon guys, stop giving the puck away, especially when you're on the powerplay!

Hopefully canada wins so my boring ass new years eve sees SOME excitement!

Party hard and drink lots, everyone but don't drink and drive please. FREE ttc tonight so take advantage of it!

Happy New Years and I'll see you guys in the new year, in 20-10!

T-Minus 19 Days - Overdue Update

Hello!!

Hope everyone had a good christmas and is looking forward to new years eve and the new year! I've been away from my blog for awhile now, sorry everyone but haven't had much time to blog. When I did have time I was too tired to turn on my computer and blog. I've been trying to meet up with a lot of people before I head west. I have all these dates and schedules in my head... if I forget to meet any of you, I'm sorry! haha

Well my christmas wasn't anything special. I went to morning service with my parents, brother and sister in-law and went to dim sum afterward. After that... I just did nothing at home. It was a pretty boring christmas, I think. But that is ok! I got to spend it with family so that's all that matters, right? Although I was a little sad I didn't get to have a turkey dinner... Mmm I love turkey dinners! The (s)mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, warm bread, gravy, stuffing, turkey... did I forget anything?

So to update you guys on my moving situation... I was stressed out couple days ago cause I couldn't raise my credit limit cause I didn't officially start my job and I guess the credit card people were scared I wouldn't have money to pay them back. My limit right now won't let me purchase airfare or pay for my hotel when I get to grande prairie. Luckily I applied online (cause people on the phone are useless) and I got a raise to my credit. I was SO relieved to see it when I checked... SO SO relieved. I didn't want to ask my dad or my brother cause I know I've asked them for a lot during school (to pay for rent and tuition when I needed help with them). Also cause I had to figure out dates to go out west... if I wanted to go and stay there or go and come back for a wedding and go back for good the sunday before I start. After much thought and many pimples on my face from stress (HAHA) I came to the conclusion to head out west on jan 11... stay there for few days (depending on how fast or slow I can find an apt), come back for the wedding and go back for good on jan 17. I already got my airfare for the 11th so things are moving according to my plan. I just have to figure out how much it costs to move my furniture from toronto to grande prairie. I emailed the moving people and just waiting for them contact me with an estimate. Hope it doesn't cost TOO much.

I only have two weeks left until I make my first trip to the west... it's coming up SO soon. I look forward to it though. I'm excited and nervous at the same time... I'm excited for whats to come in the new year but at the same time nervous cause I'm basically starting my independence. I know I can do it, but just the fact that I'm finally moving out... pretty crazy stuff, ya know??

I'll try to update more often... everyday like I used to. If I don't, that just means I'm busy meeting people and/or losing my mind trying to figure out my move to grande prairie. So don't be a stranger and leave a comment.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I've been slacking on my blog the past couple of days. I've been so tired seeing friends and hanging out with them while I can. Most are going on vacation after Christmas and won't be back until the new year so gotta see them while they are still here. I've been eating lots though because of it. Eating lots of good food and drinking good beer.

Anyways, I gotta head to church for Christmas morning service now. I'll try to blog about the past couple of days when I get. I don't have much planned today anyways, just service and dim sum lunch and that's about it. What else can you do on Christmas day... not much but stay home and I guess watching a movie. OH! Speaking of movies... I saw Avatar in 3D the other day. It was was alright, good graphics and action sense but the storyline... and the quality of acting... I laughed at some parts, that's all I gotta say.

Gotta head out, merry christmas everyone!

T-Minus 27 Days - Nothing New

Nothing new today.... I have a packed day or I hope to have a packed and productive day tomorrow. I want get my police check done with, call out west for housing and the hospital to confirm some things, maybe get a haircut, going to MEC to look for mittens and going to see avatar later in the evening.

So I'll have more to blog about tomorrow for sure... if I get all that done tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

That being said I'm going to try to sleep early tonight so I can have a full day to be productive. Hopefully I can fall asleep.

Come back tomorrow to read about my productive (hopefully) day. Until tomorrow, don't be a stranger and leave a comment.

T-Minus 28 Days - In A Pickle

So I'm in a constant fight with myself if I should go back and forth to Grande Prairie to find a place and come back to Toronto to attend my friend's buddy's wedding (which is on a saturday) and fly back to Grande Prairie the next day to start work on monday. (that was one long sentence) I don't know what to do. I've been thinking about it for a long time, ever since I accept the job offer. After I hung up the phone after accepting I realized that I had a wedding to go to very close to my start date. I've talked to my parents about it and they told me to not to go to the wedding and I've talked to couple of friends and they say the same thing but I've been looking forward to this wedding. I've known him for a long time and he is one of my close buddy's brother. As of now... I'm not planning on attending the wedding but my mind might change a lot throughout the week. Damn!

I've been looking at airfare and I think I should make a decision soon on my date of departure. The days that I'm here are getting shorter and shorter. I'm realizing how much I'm going to miss it here in Toronto... but I know this move will be good for me.

I have a feeling I'm repeating a lot of things on my postings. I really have to stop blogging late at night. I'm gonna lose all my readers/followers.... uh not like I have any. The only follower of my blog is... ME! LOL Guess I should advertise this on facebook and twitter... gotta get my blog out there. Make it popular and maybe it can be turned into a movie... I wish!

Until tomorrow... don't be a stranger, leave a comment.

I was too tired to blog yesterday after sleeping at 4AM and waking up at 6:30, playing basketball at 9:30, took a nap for two hours and went to a house warming loft party later in the day. Overall it was a very fun yet tiring day. It was good to play basketball, getting on the court and playing the sport I love playing. Even though the gym was freezing cold and slippery as ice... it was still fun. I hope I'm not getting sick from it though... I better not get sick before I head out west.

The house warming loft party was a blast. Lots of people (even though I didn't most of them), music was great (my friend and his friend's friend were dj-ing), good drinks (the adult kind) and just a very atmosphere. We ended up staying until everyone pretty much left and that was around 3:30-4 and afterward went for pho in chinatown. Got home around 5 and passed out from shear exhaustion. But it was worth every bit of being tired... if that makes sense.

Today was a normal sunday; went to church at 12, went out with friends for food and came home to watch football. San Diego Chargers, WHAT?! lol I realized more and more as the days go by how much I will miss my friends here. Having dinner with them today and just talking at starbucks made me realized that I won't have those moments again for awhile when I'm in Grande Prairie. But I have hopeful that I will make new friends and I hope to share quality time talking and bonding with them in the new home.

It's pretty scary how time is moving so fast these days... less than a month left until I longer can call myself a resident of Thornhill, Ontario but a resident of Grande Prairie, Alberta. I think this move will be good for me. It'll be good for me personally to grow and mature as a person and as an adult. I feel trapped at home right now cause I feel like I'm being treated like a 10 year old and not feeling like I'm getting treated like an adult who can make his own decisions. I think this move will help me move away from my comfort zone and will let me be more open and willing to try new things. I will have to or else I will end up doing nothing during my free times and end up deteriorating personally.

I can't seem to organize my thoughts right now so I'll leave it at that for this entry.
