Ooooo-kay.

Well this place is slightly unfamiliar... I haven't been at this screen in what seems like forever. Wow. It's so strange to imagine me still being at Taeko's house (as I was in my last entry.) Being in Guelph seems like almost an eternity ago.... not that a terribly lot has been going on lately. I've returned back to Vancouver, and I've been enjoying the nice weather, my friends and being at home. Being home, while nice, is beginning to get a bit old... It's rough, when you've been living away from your parents for 8 months, and suddenly you return home, and you feel incredibly, incredibly boxed in and caged and whatnot. I dunno, at the age of 21, I kind of feel that I should have a bit more freedom. When I go to bed, or when I shower, or what my hair looks like... Augh... Let's just say it's been a bit of an adjustment period that is still happening. I suppose my parents won't really give me true freedom until I can entirely support myself, which is fair enough.

Anyways, fug... i have no idea what i was going to say now. I'm gonna resort to some pictures to tell my stories, cuz they say pictures are worth a thousand words... hopefully that can begin to make up for the lack of bloggage lately. i'll get better with it soon... promise! there's many thoughts swirling in this mind these days...
So aight aight, here goes nothing...


Apr 20: A covered bridge that I had to pass through, after the final potluck/gathering with kids from my ecology class (most of whom were graduating). It was a fun night, and a really nice 40min walk home... The bridge was freaky though... ahhh



Apr 23: Taeko's turtles warming themselves under the lamp. they're cuties... I stayed with Taeko a few days, and she was a super host, and her and her friend Sebastien helped me move all my crap in. yay, taeko!!


Apr 24: This is in downtown Toronto, at night, crazy lights an all.. My cousin took me out with some of her friends, and she was all afraid they were "corrupting" her "baby cousin" haha... good times.


Apr 25: At the spankin new airport terminal at toronto.... It's spiffy, huge, and sterile. yay. Did i mention I despise the commercialization of airports? It's sad that it's neceesary cuz of fundage, but to whore themselves out such that they force visitors to pass through the duty free. That's the last straw!!! *grrrrrr*


Apr 25: The day I got back, for dinner I went for.... SUSHI!! what else does one get in Vancouver? :p



Apr 26: I went to Jericho Beach with my friend Siu-Hay for her Pharmacy Class BBQ... it was a good time... volleyball, chatting, food, people, and the beautiful beautiful sun... I even got sunburnt on my face that day... I haven't been in such a long long time!!! but after 5 hours in the sun, it's only expected?


Apr 26: This is why I love my friends. They're so silly and fun!


Apr 27: Dimsum in Vancouver, in a badly stitched together picture


Apr 28: Went to the dentist, and found to have 2 cavities... Boohiiss... I walked home, and I saw this scene. Walking home, I realized I could be perfectly content living like a hermit or something, surrounded by nature... So peaceful and beautiful.


The next few days don't have any pictures, mainly cuz I was madly writing cover letters... It was pretty much nonstop at the computer, trying to find ways to whore myself out. huzzah. Ooh, I also went to the UBC Film Festival... tres tres cool... And went to some cool eateries afterwards... like THE Eatery (haha), and Calhoun's, like Jackie said, very hip places to be... where else can you get sushi called Captain Crunch, or Andy Warhol??(@ the Eatery)


May 2: This is me, at a restaurant on Commercial Drive called Marcello... beautiful lighting, delicious (but pricey) food, and the giant face in the background is actually an oven, where you put pizza into its mouth... haha!


May 3: The absolutely adorable cat at this hairdresser I went to, who has his own place in his basement. Unfortunately, I don't have a good pic of my new hair yet. soon, soon. :)


May 4: WTF are Mark and I doing? We look like we're emerging from a womb... As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words... Right?


May 5: Aileen, Mark and I up to our usual facemaking... someone PLEASE give us some captions... I've love to hear them.


Anyways, besides those snippets of my life, I've been reading 1421. A fascinating book... a definite read if you enjoy exploration or chinese culture in general...
I've also been reading The Art of Happiness. Also a terrific book... It's really made me think about how I live my own life...
Umm.. in other news, my dad got a new digicam... frankly for sheer power, it kicks my ass... it's like the my camera, except on steroids... *eep*

My Dads

Mine

Mine's still smaller and easier to use, so that's the two advantages it has...
And I had a job interview with these people. Very neat organization... I would love to have this job... (communications and events coordinator), but i don't really think i have the media relations skillz to pull it off... we'll see how it goes.. I'll hear from them VERY shortly...

And finally... tonight, went to Monk's by Granville Island with my family, and like all of Dave's (joyee's bf) family from Colorado... Really nice and fancy restaurant... then we went to his grad art show thingy thing. It was a really crazy experience... so many interesting and neat people there... and the art was really neat. I think I couldn't be an artist... I'm too focused on the aesthetics of art... I have trouble seeing what's behind it, and how to interpret it... but it was good fun...

Wow, that was a mofo of an entry... Well mostly it was just the pictures.. Well, I feel much relieved... If you've read this far, give yourself a pat on the back. No wait, tell me, and I'll give YOU a pat on the back! :D
Anyways, good night to all! hope you enjoyed the pictures.
