It seems like winter just came a little earlier than expected. I like the snow but not the freezing temperature that comes with it.
I met up with a good from whom I haven't seen in over a year. She's one of the few girls I love to talk to because I can be myself and not have to watch what I say. Besides, she's one of the few that taught me that dirty jokes are a good thing and among other dirty things. Hehe... I have admired this girl from the moment we met at work, because she always seemed like she had the qualities I look to become for myself. She comes off very confident, witty and incredibly funny. And not to mention she is a good looking girl. But underneath all that, life isn't as perfect as I thought it would be for her. I won't get into details to respect her privacy. I just hope things work out for her.
But spending time with Jose today brought some good memories of the past when we did work together or hang out outside work. We also have a reunion to go this coming Saturday with the rest of the Loomis gang. I haven't seen some of the people for a couple of years now so this will be a very joyous event. The reuinion will be filled of laughter, jokes and more tears of laughter. Haha...

Shake You
I want to shake you, shake you and say, "I care. I care!!"
You find the most genuine from the most unexpected.
I care. But I might stop if you keep being so distant.

I Blame It On The Rain!
So this weekend was supposed to be about culture and purchasing some pirated DVD's. But none of that turned out how I had pictured it in my head. Thanks to the rain, I didn't get to drive my car to Toronto because I chickened out. Instead D drove and thank goodness for that!
I didn't get to see the newly renovated AGO nor did I get to purchase movies. The only thing that worked out were spending time with my UTM friend, seeing a free magic show (awesome!) and a UFC fight which I didn't anticipate to happen, but it did.
Also, I forgot to mention that I did donate blood for the first time in my life just this past Wednesday. I went with D because it's something he had done before. And of course, it's a for a good cause and I should really do more for this planet before I die. Initially I was nervous about it because of what my mother had warned me with. Basically, one of her co-workers went to donate blood and when she came back for work she fainted. But thankfully, everything went smoothly with my donation process. I got to relax on a huge lazy-boy chair, drank orange juice and ate a stale cookie. Unfortunately for D this was his idea to go and I just wanted to tag along to experience it. He was more excited about it than I was, but to his disappointment he was denied to donate his own blood. Only because there is a rule to donating blood, and it's that if you have left the North American soil you cannot donate for at least 12 months. D went back to India last December, hence being denied to donate blood until January 2009. The oddest part of that whole experience was when the nurse made me hold the bag of blood I donated. It was still warm and that was mainly what creeped me out. This may indeed be something I will do annually from now on. I also cannot wait to find out what my blood type is when I received my blood donor card from the mail.
This whole week has been odd but in a good way...

The Rebirth of the AGO
That's right, after three-long years of reconstruction, the day has finally arrived for the rebirth of the AGO. Today at 4 p.m. is the official public opening and will be open for free admissions for the remaining weekend.
Model design of the AGO.
The large window facade are one of the key design features that are architecturally unique designed by Frank Gehry.
Some things that I'm excited to see are the large window facade facing the street where the experience with art is created with the dynamic relationship with the street. When pedestrians are walking by the gallery they can see the people inside viewing the artworks. Simultaneously, the gallery viewers can see the pedestrians watching them. Frank Gehry definitely created the civic space that artists would be proud to share with the public.
My inner art-nerdiness is jumping for joy! Hahaha...

I need to back off and focus on what is important; finding a full-time teaching job.
I've been pondering about some things and I really need to get my act together. I have a new car now which is the tool that will get me to places (literally). But now, it's only up to ME to get me there.
No more excuses! I know there is a job for me out there.
Things can only go up...

An Instant of Frozen Time
This whole weekend I was in the process of rearranging my room (it's a perpetual task) and cleaning it out as well. I stumbled upon my box of cards and letters from friends and loved ones. Among that pile I found a sealed envelope of written goals and thoughts I made 8 years ago. It's one of those time capsule questionnaires that came with my school agenda. When I wrote on that envelope I thought it would be interesting to see what I will become in 8 years.
It says I wrote it on January 19, 2000 and will open it on December 10, 2008. In about one month I will find out who I wanted to become and what I have attained so far...

Change In The Air
America, you finally got it right!
Congratulations to Barrack Obama, the 44th American President and the very first Black president. Such a defining moment and I was fortunate to witness it in my time. I only look forward to good changes you bring to your nation and to the world.
