many things in life i believe are fundamentally built around our habits. the power of habitual acts are often under-rated as people generally fail to have thoughtfully think of those mundane everyday details as they seem like "things" in life. the way you get dressed, plan your day or the way you feel towards someone is also implicated by how strong those habits are as human nature makes us naturally uneasy outside of our comfort zone. in many ways, break ups are "heartbreaking" as you must un-learn all your habits and sometimes ultimately learn to un-love someone or the relationship you once had. they say it is harder to teach an old dog new tricks and in that same vein it seems theoretically more difficult to let go or to admit you've had enough because you have become so accustomed to certain things -- you've become an old dog. keep in mind though however that the habits, feelings and history you have now did not transpire over night and it is the compounding accumulation of x-nights and x-effort. keep in mind that as you learned to fall in love, you can learn to fall out of it.   

nothing more nothing less.

where is your christmas spirit?

this year, a few friends and i have committed ourselves in organizing a christmas charity gala on dec 22, 06. everything is tentative but to date, it will take place at the executive hotel and suites on north road and will include a fine dinner buffet, ALCOHOL, games, silent auction, dating auction, door prizes, dance and much more! tickets will be sold for $40 and all proceeds will be donated to the Burnaby Christmas Bureau. The BCB needs to raise more than $160,000 to provide low income families with the resources to celebrate christmas. they do this by providing food gift certificates, and toys for young children. $160,000 is a lot of beans people! as students and young adults, we do realize the time, money, energy, social, bloody final exam committments we all have however, find it within yourself to be self-less at this special time of the year. i could go on how the holidays are a magical time of giving and so forth but i think we all have the ability to imagine what christmas could mean to a young child that has nothing. think about it.

thought about it? now that you are filled with warm fuzy feelings let me tell you what i want. mwuaha. i want to see you guys on dec 22 in your best attire with your wallets! we anticipate sponsership from local busines and companies as we are pooor starving students! non-profit people! so if you have contacts of some sort please contact me. buy your tickets in advance people, no last minute!

me with the girls: what a gay night out! we're faking the smiles

happy birthday old friend, learn to smile *SMIIILEEEEEEEE*

atta girl!

she asked me to teach her swears *awwW*

happy, content, satisified. can't complain right now. things seem to be falling into place and most importantly i'm grateful for that except for that new 7lbs i've found around my stomach. hrmph. can't wait until the holidays! so excited and looking forward to that whole festive, christmasy feeling. i can guarantee a lot of stress, events and specials days that month. i hope everyone and everything will keep its cool and i can just worry about lookin cool on my mountain *carving swoosh swoosh* i've been drowning myself with korean dramas and stayin up till the sun comes out to see if he really tells her that he likes her but instead acts like he hates her so she, who likes him can go on with the other guy that likes her but is friends with him that wants her to be happy. ah, the beauty of the korean love triangles. ridiculous at times, but deadly addicting. today i went to the vancouver film festival to watch "the grace lee project" based on the stereotypes of "grace lees" in america. do you know a grace lee? a moving film, very made with of course, korean humour. enough pointless rambling, going to bed now. zzz. <3

Hi all:

what is new and exciting? well schools started again. boooo. and you know i love to bitch and complain about school but this time its real. like this WOMAN did not get a summer break and school among other things were really bumming me out for a while, plus vancouver weather started to kick in and we got just tons and tons of rain and wind. hrmph. well, i did some retail therapy and i must say, it never disapoints me! sigh, i'm so materialistic and shallow. haha, what can i say. anyways, talked to my undergrad advisor the other day and damn i am close to grad. cry! i am scared! nooo, not the real world where i have to wake up early and commute hours to some job i hate and .... cry. hahaha yeah i'm scared but i guess just one day at a time. i am really begining to understand how great school is and how it really is the best years of one's life. maybe...i'll do a masters. haha!
