Superman

I just got in from watching Superman. I went with Mike, Veena and Sreng. Kyle was supposed to got but I couldn’t get a hold of him. We went to see it in Imax, which was great. Parts of the movie were in 3D, which made it really really cool looking. The movie was shallow, but enjoyable. There really isn’t a beginning or conclusion, just some action that probably ties together the old Superman movies (which I haven’t seen). Normally action-only type movies are boring for me, but it was 3D, and it was Superman.
Jackie said that it felt really really long to her, but it didn’t to me. It ended just in time for me. I know there were plot holes too, and big ones at that. I can’t explain how Superman was able to do what he did in the end, but hey, he’s Superman, and he found a way. If you haven’t seen this movie in Imax, do it because it’s worth it. I wish they would have done more, there was so much more they could have done.

Batman Begins is better, okay I said it. Yes, I’m a bigger Batman fan, the truth comes out, and I always have been. I’ve seen every Batman movie and TV show episode. I’ve never seen another Superman movie.

Hotmail? More like Stupidmail (oh, burn)

I've been using Gmail since the start of this year. Today I went back into my Hotmail account to see if I could find someone's address. That's when I realised just how much Hotmail sucks. No search. No search! I looked for the "sent" sections, and remembered that Hotmail didn't save my sent messages. So I resorted to clicking through all my past emails. As my eyes blurred over, I found my mouth saying "thank Google for gmail". I was a little freaked by this, but then Pooncho kicked in with "screw this bloodclot, getcha someting to eat Man."
Ya, you're right Pooncho.

Oh, and Daren, how could you abandon your blog! First Tonks, now you. Long live my blog, the longest running in history. I understand though.
Well, my history at least.

Learned

Have you ever looked back at yourself years ago and thought “wow, how I have changed!” Sometimes this is for the worst, but usually, and hopefully it’s for the best.
I know I have changes a lot over the years, and will continue to into the future. When I was in early grade school, one teacher of mine called home to ask my parents if I were a mute. Yes, honestly. I left grade school with no confidence in myself, and a bleak outlook on the future. I had no friends, and no strong relationships with family. At the end of grade 10 I met some friends, or at least people who cared about me. They made me see that there were nice people in this world. I met real friends after that, and lost them soon after. It didn’t matter though, because I knew things would be okay. Then I met a special girl who brought out the goood side of me, a side that still lives on to this day. Even that soured eventually, but it didn’t matter. I learned, and grew from that. Then I met my current best friends, who taught me that friends can last forever.
Along life we make mistakes, rush into things, let things pass us by, miss a chance, and let fear hold us back. None of these are a wrong choice, as long as we learn from each one of them.
I was spoiled when I was young by my parents, and kept some of that mentality to this day. Over the years though, I have been learning to overcome it. It took a while to realise that things are rarely perfect, and that it’s okay like that. Learning that was great, as I used to toss away any damaged or defective goods (yes, I’m being symbolic here). After that I learned that honesty is always best, always. I learned this from looking up to Kyle at work. His usual total honesty was inspiring to me. It took a while, and is still a bumpy road, but the honesty road is best. Now, I am learning that I can’t always get what I want when I want. Sometimes things take time to grow and mature, and waiting for them to do so is half the fun of having them.
My point with all this? Sometimes you take a few too many steps forward, and need to take one back here and there. Sometimes you lose sight of what defines who you really are.
That’s okay though, because the next step will just be better.

White is better?

Sony's PSP is struggling against the DS worldwide. To counter the hype of the DS lite, Sony is launching a white PSP in Europe. To do this, they came up with this billboard ad:

In our day and age, is this considered racist? It's a European ad, do you think it would work in our country?
Personally, I'm reminded of an episode of South Park where there was a racist flag of a black man being hung by whites. The children of the town didn't realise it was a racist flag, because they did not distinguish the people in the flag by colour. Maybe the same goes in our generation, and the use of colour in this ad really doesn't have racial undertones. Or maybe it was used as an eye catcher?

This just makes us ask the question (again): What year are these people in power living in??????

Happy Canada Day!

This is a great country, and it should be celebrated. It's also a very large country, with so much diversity to it. Each region is so different, and we should all learn a little bit about each place.
Be proud for what this country offers us, and strive for it to offer us more in the future.
Hope you all find something great to do today!

CBC News: U.S. Supreme Court quashes 'illegal' Guantanamo trials

CBC News: U.S. Supreme Court quashes 'illegal' Guantanamo trials
Well, I guess it's nice to know that there is some sanity when it comes to this issue. I mean, this jail was located in Cuba for a reason...

Like Lighting

This week I got back my exam marks from last week. They started off bad, but ended good. I got a 64%, a 75% and an 85%. The marks are all over the place, but I’m happy with them (well not the 64).
Tomorrow I’m going to York for my $10 resume session (not the most interesting thing you can get fo 10 dollar). But, a resume is soooo important. To me, it’s part of my ticket out of this house.
After that I’m off to the dentist to show her that my fillings from the last time I was there are gone. One is giving me a toothache too sometimes. I can’t wait to get them refilled. Maybe I’ll do the metal this time, hopefully it lasts a little longer than a few months. Especially since my insurance ends once school does.
Then, Matt and I will either stick around here or go meet his friends in Hamilton. The rest of the long weekend I will be working. Monday though, I have off, and will find something to do.
Oh, and what’s up with the weather? It’s like a scene out of The Lathe of Heaven (read this book!). I’ve never seen so many random thunderstorms. I love them, but it’s probably not the best sign of our environment’s health. Thunderstorms are sexy. Nothing else to say about that.

Wireless!

Look, no cables! I just finished setting up my wireless home network, and am writing this from my laptop, with wireless internet! It's great, I feel so free. Now I can watch porn in any room of my house! Jokes, but I guess I could. Actually, now I can check my email anywhere, making my habit into an addiction for sure. Other bonus news? Wireless internet means wifi. Wifi mean Nintendo wifi connection. And that means online DS. Yes, my DS is online. Sreng, buy yourself a copy of Mario Kart or Tetris, and we will be able to play against each other anytime!

The Annual Summer BBQ

Wow, I’m full. Today we had a big BBQ at our house, and had lots of family over. It was an alright time, although it was kinda boring for me at times. It’s funny how little I have in common with my cousins. I kept wishing that all you were there instead. It was great seeing Nonna Connie again, and she got to see all the gardens. I also showed her my birthday pics, and spent one on one time together. It was strange not have Nonno John here this year. He was usually singing up a storm with my other grandmother.

Today was also the Pride Parade in TO, so happy pride to all those who celebrated. I’ve never been to the parade, but it looks like a crazy party. It's a bit over the top for me I think. I read that the theme this year was “fearless,” representing that so many parts of the world still don’t accept this issue. I say that Toronto, and all Canada still has a problem with it, and it can be found anywhere.

Work this weekend was slow, but I was training the new girl which made it busier. It was fun times though, all the cool people worked, even Sheehira. It was great seeing you again by the way!

I’m also totally addicted to the New Super Mario game. I just finished world 2, and can’t wait to play more. I’m so glad that I waited until my midterms were over before I got it! I feel like my 8 year old self again with this game.

Tomorrow is my first Monday off in a long time. I hope it doesn’t rain because I’d like to get dirty in the garden.
That’s it from me.

Goodbye Veena

Veena is leaving us tomorrow morning! She’s off to Florida for a family trip. Have fun Veena, I hope you survive the many hours in the van with all your siblings and parents. Thank god for the DS eh? Make sure to eat at a restaurant, and get all the huge servings they give you there. Remember, AmErica!
Tonight, Matt and I went out to dinner to Kelsey’s. It was nice. I had some type of stir-fry thing with steak in it. It was good. We also had some of the greatest conservations, and I’m now very interested to learn about "hermaphrodites" (intersexed people). Matt, I found this site, that has some answers.
After that, Matt went home, and them Veena, Sreng and I went to Timmy’s for coffee, ice caps and tea. After that we found ourselves in a parking lot playing DS. Now that I’m finished my midterms, my New Super Mario ban is off. Now I just need to find a place that has it in stock, I can’t wait!
Right now, I’m just eating Greek salad and chips. I have to start eating more before I go to bed, so that I keep my weight on. Last week I stopped eating before bed and dropped the 4 pounds that I had gained. Pooncho had a ravenous metabolism.
Tomorrow I work at lunch and night. I didn’t know that I had the lunch shift too, but I do. It’s all good, I’ll find something to do on my break. Maybe I’ll bring my DS, or homework.
Oh, and I also got a laptop! Now I just have to figure out how to work it.

Stupid song

Why do I have the new Paris Hilton song stuck in my head? If only my marketing material could do the same. I have my last midterm in a few hours.

Goodbye Ryerson

My Ryerson course is officially over! I'm very happy too, because I didn't like my group. The two girls in it were best friends or something, and always spoke in Urdu to each other. The other guy, liked to talk the talk, but couldn't walk it. His part was so badly done, and it was embarrassing during the presentation. One of his pie graphs added up to well over 100%.
Man, I'm just glad it's over. Now I'm down to three courses left. I still have one more midterm on Wednesday though. After that I should have more free time to myself.

Work this weekend was busy for me, and a little boring. Jackie didn't work, Kyle didn't work, and 9inch didn't work. There were a lot of parties too, which all turned out well.

I have an appointment with the Ryerson careers centre in a few minute. They're helping me out with writing my resume. It was sooo out of date. Finding a job is a very complex process, with cover letters, different types of resumes, and just finding places that are hiring. Like Sreng would say "that's the real world".

On Friday we went out to an Italian buffet restaurant, Frankie Tomatto's. (Judy, is this the same place you were telling me about?) It was really good, they had great beef ribs. King Pooncho ate a lot, oh course. It was funny to see an Italian restaurant run by all Asian people. I'm sure the Italian Mafioso were around somewhere in the back. After that we stayed in the parking lot, and Sreng, Veena, and I played DS together. Veena let Daren play too, because he's not cool and doesn't have one;). It was fun times.
Yesterday, for Father's day, my family and I went to the cemetery to see Nonno John's plaque on the wall. It was funny, we were taking pictures and telling stories. It's good that it's not a morbid visit to make.
Anyways, I'm off.

Birthday Pictures.

Okay, it's picture time. These were all taken on my Birthday at Cantina Mexicana. A tragedy occurred though, and Judy and baby are not in any of them. We always start taking pictures too late. But, they turned out well.
Here's one of all of us after leaving, with very full tummies. From left: Matt, Me, Veena, Daren, Vicky, and Sreng:

Wow, this next picture is funny. There's the 3 fallic symbols, and a burning candle near my crotch. Yes, do sit on my lap of luxury:

Nice bunny ears there 9inch, very funny fat ass;). Is this our Ken are Barbie picture?:

Here's Michelle, trying to steal the spotlight, as per usual;) :

And here's another one of all of us as we were leaving. A nice woman took the picture for us, so even Michelle is in this group shot:

Ya, so no pics of me in my birthday suit, just pics of my Birthday. Thanks again for the great time guys!

DS threesome

This week has been going well so far. Tomorrow I have an exam, as well as on Friday. That sucks, but I’m glad to get them over with.
This week saw my two best friends both join the Nintendo DS party. Sreng and Veena are both proud owners of the new DS “lite” model, which looks great. I'm not jealous, I swear. I can’t wait to have some multiplayer action going on! You guys had better practice hard=).
Yesterday Matt and I went for a walk around a park. That was fun, thank you Matt. After that I went with Veena to buy her DS at Wal-Mart. They were sold out of most of the games, but she got Big Brain Academy, which is a lot of fun. New Super Mario Bros. was out of stock still. Soon my exams will be over, and I will be able to live my dream of an all new 2D Mario bros.
I also met with someone today to get help with my resume. I need serious help!
That’s been it, it’s all about exams for the next two days. Talk to you after that.
=)
