hangovers

So apparently theres a dark pigment thing in hard liquer that is a toxin. It is this that causes the hangover.

Now i know why i never get hangovers - i stay away from dark liquers. OH and apparently wine is the best alcohol for you. Hello red, white and rose!! Looks like I found my new drink of choice.

Random, but I figured it would come in handy since new years is just around the corner. Happy holidays everyone!!!

ps. Whistler here i come!!!!!!!!!!! of course back to mississauga. SOOO exciting! xox

issues?

So i definately think that there are a few people that have an issue with me. Whether it be with something i did, or something i said - or maybe both. How about we try this approach of telling me - especially since you consider me a friend. Stop telling lies to people that we "dont talk", even though we do and stop being selfish cause sometimes its not all about you. Sooooooooooo growing a back bone is working well for me this year - im kinda hoping that i wont have to use it so much next year. My fingers are crossed!

the paradox of our time in history.

First i would like to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!!! Its been a great year and hopefully it'll get better in 2010!!
But on Christmas, I turned on the TV and saw this program. I believe it was called we day (from the creators of me to we) - and i heard this paradox. I couldn't believe how true this was and i immediately loved it. I thought that I would share with you all. Here is it:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things.We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice.We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals; we have more food, but less appeasement; we build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet to kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology has brought this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference, or to just hit "Skip Ahead"...

Please don't skip ahead. You can make a difference - all it takes is one person.

the love of my life

This past weekend I headed down to Seattle for the day - and of course, this includes shopping. I definitely found the love of my life. If you already know, my watch got stolen from the UTM lib (note to self: NEVER take off anything that is valuable and put it on the table). So of course, my mission was to find a new watch and I think I achieved that mission, along with some other stuff as well aka clothes. Here are some pictures of my brand new love of my life:

isn't it just lovely?? =) Now, I'm sure you can understand why i love it so much!

That's right, its Michael Kors <3

Hope you liked the pictures that I've taken and emjoy this watch as much as i do!! Updates on my home sweet home trip to come - I'm sure drama will hit the fan soon. Girls night out on saturday!! sooooo excited! pictures to come - promise!

vancouver

Back at home, and wow does it feel good. It's not so cold here and there's no school!! So my plan for these 2.5 weeks is to hang out with friends and try to work on graduate applications - of course I would.

This brings me to my question for the day. Does happiness and enjoyment of life be defined through sex? Lately, I've been told that I need to 'relax' aka need to get laid (LOL) cause apparently I'm too serious. Do people not understand that exams cause stress and therefore no relaxing is possible because unfortunately my life or career is defined by doing well on them. When i do go out to relax, apparently I'm STILL too serious. I personally don't get it. And the story goes...

Saturday night - just this past weekend - was my friends beach party. It was fun, but the night definately did not end the way i expected it to, that's for sure. Unfortunately, I had 2 exams the following week (monday and tuesday) and therefore was one of the only sober ones - and to be honest, it might have been one of the best decisions I've made. Drinking started at around 7:30pm and therefore it was a LONG night to say the least.



This night involved getting "laid" like in hawaii, a few drinks (or one too many for some), a few people that couldn't take their alcohol, somehow ended up at a bar/club, and a wake up call at 7am the next morning. Overall, I'd have to say it was a VERY successful party. Good people and the realization that we don't need mexico to wear swim suits and have fun! Little did i know that apparently there were a few match makers that night that thought that I needed to "let loose" so to speak. Now, if I'm happy with what's going on with my life, why should someone else feel like they need to intervene because THEY don't think I'm happy? My conclusion is that people need to mind their own business - but we all know that's never going to happen. So my decision - let them talk. I'm the only one that knows what i want - and my friends should be there if and when it falls apart.



Story time! Rehab in Mississauga is not the best place i would suggest going but its nice inside i guess. The music was average but not someone place you want to go when you feel like dancing. Let me say that sometimes you meet the most interesting people when youre out to begin with, but I don't think anything beats this experience. I'll just say, long story short, it involved some guy and his friends coming up to my friends and I telling us that they are abercrombie models and promoters. Apparently they were able to get discounts or something like that for us whenever. Needless to say, we came up with a story where my friend is from Croatia, my other friend is from Calgary, and I was from Vancouver. Toronto was our meeting spot and we visited it roughly every other weekend LMAO. We were'nt even supposed to go out that night - but overall, not a bad night for $10ish each.

Hopefully more stories to come this holiday season - which im sure there will be cause I'm headed up to Whistler for NYE and everyone knows that theres drama in Whistler! FML.

Happy Holidays everyone!!
