Sunday :)

Finally it's Sunday! No work or school :)

I woke up at 10:30, & watched 2 episodes of Wife Swap UK, love that show. Then me & my mom made a delicious vegetable soup & now we're going to set up our Wii Fit. I already played it at my friend's house, & it was so fun that I had to have it hahaha

Me before my 4th Tokio Hotel concert------->
HAHAHA look at my hair!

Saturday!

I just got home from working 9 hours! So boring, but it's money, right? :P

I had my Economics test yesterday, & I think I did okay! My answers were pretty good compared to the solution sheet, so we'll see...

Here's what I found after taking a study break. I didn't know Tuxedo understood Monopolies & barriers to entry! hahaha

I have to finish There Will Be Blood tonight. I fell asleep like halfway in last night :(

Ciaoooooooo

Studying Is No Fun!

I woke up early today (9:30 is early on a Sunday hahaha) & watched one of my favourite episodes of Trading Spouses. One mom lives in Louisiana & runs swamp tours & the other mom is a Californian vegan. Sooo funny, especially the little boy ZZ from the bayou. My favourite line: "Gators don't sweat!"

Now it's time to start studying for my Economics test on Friday. It's all about monopolies - what fun... NOT!

Sooo boring

I wish I could study this Monopoly instead :P

Bills, Bills, Bills

I got paid today!!! And I also paid off all my bills, which includes over $2000 I had owing to my school. So sad :(. At least everything's paid off now, which is a huge relief

Tuesday

I figured I'd write a bit in the blog since I haven't in SO long :P. I just forget about it when work, friends & school get busy. I'm here, wasting 20 min before Manhunters starts on A&E. I love this show! It follows US Marshals in NYC as they capture wanted fugitives. So exciting! While watching the show, I want to join them sooo much, but I'm not American hahaha.

Yesterday I had such a busy day! It started out with a German quiz at 11, then a Managerial Accounting quiz at 1. After that I met my friend Krista at her work & we went to the Eaton's Centre & shopped for HOURS. I bought a few things at Sephora, Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters. Maybe I'll post pictures in the blog later ;)

This morning before leaving for class (started at 12), I watched Real Women Have Curves. I already watched it when it first came out in 2002, but it has such a great message & Ameria Ferrera is so sweet in it. She's become so sucessful since that movie, with The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants & Ugly Betty (one of my fav shows). It was really nice to see her so young & acting so well <3

I love her smile

Alright, I'm going to go finish my laundry & relax under a blanket on the sofa

Goodnight!

COLD!

Omg... I just looked at the weather in Toronto this week and it's FREEZING. The HIGH on Thursday is -17 degrees! And it will feel like -29!

I need a new winter jacket NOW.

I think I might need to buy this... But it's so expensive :(

MANTATI

I just commented on Moe's blog & my security word was MANTATI. I almost died hahaha

Today I just had an hour of German class, which went by really fast (thank god). After that my friend Matea & I went to Urbana to get our London Fogs & talk. For an hour and a half hahaha. Right before we left, this homeless guy came in & started putting pieces of paper asking for change on every table, so the woman working was yelling at his to get out. SO AWKWARD. And, as he's leaving, Matea says "That's a pretty nice coat for a homeless guy." Quote of the week right there hahaha

When I got home I studied Economics. I got through all the lectures and homework and now I'm caught up! I feel so relieved :). And I actually understood everything :D. I still have a lot of readings to get done... oh well, at least today was a start.

I can't wait for Friday. Daniela from work is sleeping over & then we work together Saturday & then we're meeting up with a bunch of coworkers (new & old, some wanted & some not :P) for drinks. We'll see how that goes...

School!

2nd semester started :(. I can't believe the break is already over, I feel like I wasted it working... Oh well, another 4.5 months & then I'm FREE for the summer :D. This semester I'm starting managerial accounting (ugh) and marketing, which should be somewhat interesting. And I still have German, Economics and Statistics, fun right?

I'm watching The First 48... It's probably the 9398th episode I've watched in the last 3 weeks. I love this show! Like CSI but everything is real, which gives you chills when you watch it.

I'll probably watch another episode of this & then hopefully go to bed. I have German tomorrow at 10, & then tutorials & then work! It'll be a busy day...

Goodnight!

Valkyrie

I just got home after seeing Valkyrie with my friend Jasmine. It was really good!!! Very interesting the entire way through, & it told a story I had never heard of before (not even in last year's German culture class). I definitely recommend it!

Now I'm going to relax a bit before going to bed. I have work at 10:30 :(

Goodbye 2008 - Part 2

Ok, let's finish this up :P

While my mom was on a business trip, my sister & I went to Wolfstook downtown. I love this type of dog, but can never remember the name of the breed!

On Canada Day I went fishing with my mom & some people she knows through work. I caught the biggest fish that day!

After work I went to the park

I went to Montreal. This is me & my sister taking pics from the bed at the Omni Montroyal

At the end of August, I took a vacation with my family to the east coast of the States. We flew to Baltimore, then drove to Annapolis. There we stayed at The Westin for a couple of days. Really nice hotel, plus the manager was a friend of a friend hehe ;)

After Annapolis we drove to Ocean City & spent 5 days there. We went to a seafood buffet & found THAT.

We went to the beach and admired the sights =)

It was so hot & we all burned!

Perfect :)

We went parasailing over the bay (it was AWESOME), & then we went jetskiing (sadly no pictures) & I tipped it over 3 times lmao

Us 3 in the air

Then we drove back to Baltimore & stayed in a nice suite at The Hampton Inn across from Camden Yards

Me in front of the stadium where the Orioles play

View from outside

We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in Baltimore (like we did in NYC & the 2 in Toronto & in Montreal haha)

While my mom was working, my sister & I visited the Baltimore Aquarium. We saw an 4D Movie (so cool!) & a dolphin show

The view from the plane on the ride home. It was so cloudy that day!

Me back in German class on the first day of 2nd year university :)

Overall, the past year has been amazing :D. To be able to meet Tokio Hotel & see them 4 times was awesome, after having liked them for so long & doing school projects on them HAHAHA. I met tons of new friends & also lost some close ones without any explanation, but that just made me stronger & made me realize I'm not dependant on a select few people for happiness :D. It was for the better anyway, because I really didn't like hanging out with them anymore.

So what awaits me in 2009??? Maybe some more Tokio Hotel trips? A trip to Europe? A new job? New friends? We'll see ;)

Goodbye 2008 - Part 1

This past year has been crazy!!! I managed to get into my program at uni, met the band I've loved since 2006 and saw them 4 times, and I travelled a lot :D. Here's my year in pictures:

I entered a Tokio Hotel meet & greet contest & won =D

On February 10th, I got to meet with Tokio Hotel, who I've loved since 2006. It was a great experience & I made the band laugh hehe =)

I got something close to a smile from Gustav after I laughed at his joke hahaha

I was SO close!!! In the very middle of the very front. I was the first person to stand in front of the stage. So amazing :D, especially my funny moment with Tom hahahahaha

The next day, I saw Tokio Hotel on Much On Demand at Much Music. We didn't wait in the cold, so we got seats at the back.

Then during reading week I took a trip to New York City!!!

I got ready for the concerts in the Omni Berkshire hotel

We had a sweet ride waiting outside the lobby for us =P

On February 18th I saw Tokio Hotel at the Fillmore. We were at the back, dancing and singing like crazy after having some Grey Goose, but my sis took pictures (Bill was FIERCE hahaha)
The next day (Feb 19th) we waited in line for 6 hours. We ended up in the 2nd row but I couldn't see ANYTHING because of the crazy girls around me. Tobi helped me out after 3 songs & gave me some water. I got a pic of Jost though :)

Tuxy kept me company during the long nights of studying <3When we came back to Toronto I saw Matchbox Twenty with my mom & sister

On May 16th I saw Tokio Hotel again, this time at the Sound Academy. I was at the back again, but managed to get this one shot of Tom


And after the concert I ran into Tahne from Holland, who I met at the February 10th show!!! Crazy because I didn't know she came for this one!!!


That summer I went to a lot of parties. I loved my gladiators <3

On May 26th I turned 19!!! Finally legal!I completed the requirements to enter the 2nd year of my program at school :)

Part 2 coming soon!

Back from the movies

Yes Man! was good! There were some really funny parts (especially the part with the tape haha) and a really cool way of thinking =P. It was also fun to catch up a bit with my friend, who goes to school in Montreal. Apparently they have huge crazy biting spiders there?!

My sister & mom are making some Indian chicken thing for dinner :/. They just preheated the oven for my pizza hahaha

Now I'm in my pyjamas & I think I'm going to watch a movie... or play a game. A nice RELAXING new year's eve this year (unlike last year which included holding a python, getting stuck on a subway with a puking guy & slipping 983938 times on the ice).

Happy New Years!!!

YES MAN

I just jumped out of the shower & am getting ready to head back out. I'm seeing Yes Man with a friend from highschool at the theatre above where I worked this morning (haha). I'll post about the movie if I make it back unfrozen (it's -9 right now!!)

Games!

Last night I started playing Call of Duty 4 in solo mode - so fun!!! The beginning video is like a movie & the graphics are awesome. The only way I'm surviving the game is by playing in Recruit mode though haha. Playing online & killing real players is definitely the best part of the game =D (especially when you sneak up behind them hahaha)
Tonight my sister & I are going to start playing Army of Two, which is supposed to be really good. But this picture makes it look so lame...
We'll see how it goes ;)

Old times

I've been searching through some Limp Bizkit videos on youtube =D. Reminds me of grade 7 when I was starting to get into Metal hahahaha

Enjoy!

& I pic of me now, before I hop into the shower :D

Hahaha, Georg from TH peeking over my shoulder!

Merry Christmas!!!

This post is a bit late :P, but I've been so busy over the past few weeks. School ended Dec 5th, & I had my last exam on Dec 17 :). Still waiting for the results though :S. & then after that was over with, Christmas preparations began! Shopping, cleaning, decorating, present wrapping... So fun (except the cleaning) but tiring!

I worked from 8 to 1 on Christmas Eve day, & then went home & spent the evening with my family, watching Seredipity, one of my mom's favourite movies. The only Christmas part is in the very beginning, but it was fun to watch it anyway haha

Then on the 25th I woke up at 5 am & couldn't fall asleep again! At 6, my sister & I woke up my mom with coffee & we all started opening our gifts. Here are a few things I got:

Fun games to play! I also got Call of Duty 4 for PS3 from my uncle :)

Smashbox 6 piece kit, L'Oreal mascara, & Harajuku Lovers "G" perfume from my mom

3 kinds of bubblebath & a pink iPod nano from my sister!!! (my original iPod mini is dying :()

Beautiful water from my uncle & mom (<3 the bottles!)

Marc By Marc Jacobs wallet from Saks Fifth Avenue & tickets to see Nickleback & SEETHER in March from my mom!

Inside the wallet: a NYC metro card & $5 American haha

Thank you for everything!!!

The best part of that morning was watching my mom, sister & dog open their presents :). After we were done (2 hours later haha), I made breakfast. Then my family came over & we had a great dinner, & after that, I spent an hour and a half doing dishes! hahaha

I hope everyone else's holidays were as nice as mine ;)
