I went to Belgian Fries on Commercial Drive after my midterms :D

No better way to celebrate than with a bowl of carbohydrates and lipids.

YUM YUM YUM!

 For anybody curious about their menu, I have given you the privilege of having it

right here.  On average, everything on the menu would 

set you back around $10, so it's quite affordable.

If you're feeling extra frugal, I believe they offer free drinks with

your poutine on Tuesdays (must be confirmed).  I got myself a nice cup of coffee > <

 

I got myself the Tunisian Kabab.

While fighting the large beast, I found a small hair (like an eyelash)

tucked under one of the fries.  My friend had suggsted

that I complain and ask for a new one, but the employees are so nice

that I completely failed to do so :')

Keratin never did any harm, right?

After an 1hr+ of chow time, I finally finished my meal.  If you want to grab

a bite to eat, and you are small and Asian like myself, I highly suggest

that you bring a friend and share one portion.  The quantity of fries

in a single bowl . . . woowee.  It's hard to handle!  I couldn't 

bareto look at food for the rest of the day > 3 <

But I like to pretend I'm manly, so I felt the obligation to 

eat er'thang

I'm working on a new video *cheering*

My goal is to get decent grades, and start to pick up on my blogging

and vlogging once more.  

I WILL BRING MY INTERNET PRESENCE TO ITS 

FORMER GLORY

Not that there was much presence to begin with ...

I PROMISE that this video will be up within a weeks time.

And by "promise", I really mean "hope" :)

Bed time

-PK

Maybe I'm just being over sensitive, because I'm sick, BUT EVERYBODY SEEMS LIKE FUCKING INSENSITIVE PRICK = =

Today, I felt alert enough to attend school.

I still have strep throat, so speaking is near impossible.  I wanted to bitch the life out of so many people today, but the only form of communication I had was through my cellphone [text to speech]. So dreadfully agonizing!  One of my friends had the audacity to say "I have to run Public Speaking Club on my own?"

e______________e

I will cut you

Up until last week, I have done almost EVERYTHING for this club, because I knew none of the other leaders would commit anything. Mother-

I just called up my tutor and told him that I wouldn't be able to drop in today - I can't ask questions without a voice, and I wouldn't want to spread the flu.  You know what he says?

Him: can you come in next week?
me: Hopefully
him: Are you that sick?
me (in my head): Are you fucking me?


I'm not paying that fucker anymore.  Gonna finish this session, and I'm OUT. At least when I call in sick at work, the managers will tell me to get well soon.  This bastard just says "Bye," and hangs up the phone.

Of course, I could just be acting petty, but I JUST HATE EVERYBODY WHEN I'M SICK :(

-pk

p.s. Please frequently wash your hands during flu season!

Yesterday, I literally stayed in bed all day, only getting up once or twice to visit the loo.  I was convinced for a good few hours that I was living in a post apocalyptic society.  Two teams existed, The Flats and The Sharps.  Hopefully I don't have any permanent brain damage OTL  I feel so messed up.  What a lovely way to start off the year, with a raging fever. 

Happy New Year, my tingle touchers!  Before I proceed, I ask that you get your mind out of the gutter!

I hope that everybody is having a wonderful winter break, and privileged enough to share time together with friends and family :)  I don't think I've ever been so busy/booked during winter break over the course of my entire life!  Generally speaking, my life has been rather uneventful (so sad!).  During Christmas, no tree was set up in the living room, no decorations bedazzled the house, no gifts were shared.  On new years eve, I would sit by myself and stare at the clock on the bottom right corner of my screen until the digital clock zapped 12:00AM

I know, I'm just too damn exciting.




This year was much more exciting - I had a lot more planned this time around.  Perhaps not planned per se, most of it was spontaneous, but fun none the less!

First week of winter break was terribly boring.  My "wonderful" manager had scheduled me 5 shifts that week, and that's a lot given that I only work part time.  Perhaps it was the lack of pleasure during that first week which pushed me to become yes-woman.

They: Wanna hang out?
Me: Sure thing!

Rinse and repeat 5 times, and that is my holiday.

Yes #1 - Secret Santa
Took some times to chill out with my girls at Shabusen Yakiniku downtown, and exchange gifts.
Reluctantly, I agreed to all you can eat = = I don't know why I always follow suit with these ladies.  Anyhow, I remembered that they ordered far too little food the last time we went AYCE, so I marked off 10 of everything for the benefit of the people. NOW GIVE ME A COOKIE!  Face it, without me there, you guys wouldn't be eating 60% of the time.

As for secret Santa, didn't end up keeping the ID of the gift giver secret though, which made it more interesting.  Instead, we went around and described our first impression of our gift receiver, and a couple of girls got catty > <  "I thought you were snobbish when I first met you, but . . ."
Oh, snap snap snap!

My doodled on wrapping paper

I received a tumbler as my gift, but I literally lost it hours later :(  After eating, five of my friends and myself headed down to the local ice rink (which for the record - PUNY).  After an hour or so, three of my friend headed home, leaving An and I to enjoy the ice.  When we finally stopped, I accidentally left the gift bag on the ground, and didn't realize until it was too late. ; A ;I went back to look for it, but some butt nugget had already taken the shiny new cup.

It was cold, so we went to grab hot chocolate at a nearby restaurant with golden arches, and sat ourselves down upstairs.  This idiot drops an burger box over the edge of the balcony, and security takes him away by force AHHAHHAHAA Oh, god, I'm cracking up so hard.

Browski, that's sad

10pm, and nothing is open. We begin to head home, and somebody hands us "VIP tickets" to a bar.
No, we don't go.
Instead, we chuckle at it because we're still minors and have no idea what to do with them.
"Guess I'll scrap book it"
I don't want to grow up, ever.

 Yes #2 - Suika
An alumni from my high school asks if I want to hang out, which based on the theme of this story, you can safely assume I agreed to.  We ate at Suika and then went to Sunflower around Joyce Station.  Never knew I could find out so much about a person over the course of a small meal!

Yes #3 - New Years
Before you carry on reading this portion of my blog, I'd like to remind you that I have no experience with the male species.  Please be considerate that I am YOUNG AND AWKWARD.
This stranger hit on my at the mall one day, and asked for my number.  I'm a paranoid kid, so I assume that this is a hidden camera prank.  Anyhow, I'm a terrible liar when I'm by myself, and I give him my real number, which he texts later that night.
***
Share new years eve with a newly acquainted stranger.


Yes #4 - Ketchup
Caught up with 12 year friend from elementary school.  I think we trust each other a lot more now, because I was able to give her an honest opinion with her flipping a table :) Success.  We sat down at a bench after the mall closed, and proceeded to spill our thoughts.  I have my fingers crossed, and hope that she doesn't share what I told her about Eddie and Ana.

The conversation was beautiful, but I think there was a man photographing us from a nearby bench = = I damn well know I heard a shutter on his phone.  It's not the end of the world, I'm not freaking out, but his photography approach was just so shady.  I remember seeing him leaving, and then coming back to sit down.  He sat there for at least one hour listening/taking pics.  When we decided it was time to go, he stood up too.  Flattering, but unexpected.

Yes #5 - Stepho's

I've been craving Greek food for quite some time now.  Originally, my girl friends and I were supposed to eat Greek food for secret Santa, but that obviously never happened.  Instead, I went to grab a bite with another alumni from my school.  MOUSSAKA :) yumyumyum



Breaks practically over.
make it last

Hallo, long time no talk.  I haven't been lugging my digi cam around with me recently, so I hope you don't mind my cell pics :)  Today, I ate breakfast together with the other students in my grade.  The only reason I attended was because the breakfast was schedules after an early morning assembly, and if I didn't go to the breakfast, I would have to kill some 30 minutes without food.  On the plus side, the Ikea styled meal was only $3 HYUK HYUK

Given the low cost, it tasted okay hehehe orz   The people who cooked the breakfast are AMAZING - I have never in my life eaten eggs that were so elastic in texture :D  I ended up passing up most of my eggs to my friend, and I'm sure she appreciated it seeing as how the kitchen ran out of food by the time she was in line.

My friend also forgot to bring a mug, but she was clever enough to find other methods

to get her share of food.

She used a juice box to hold her flaming hot beverage.  Can't blame her for looking crazy.  Nothing beats a good cup of hot cocoa.

And since hot chocolate is the best, I cleverly brought the largest mug in my cabinet *cheap*

By the end of the breakfast, I just wanted more stuff to drink, but the dispensers seemed to be empty.  FEAR NOT.  when there is a will, there is way :D

What have we learned today?

PK is super cheap!

have a good one

-pk

p.s.  Hopefully I'll see you guys soon in 

a video, but I can't promise you

anything - yenno I'm bad with 

those stinkin' promises.

I just finished watching this television program Derren Brown: Apocalypse.  It is stated that the entire segment was not staged, however, I can't help but question the authenticity of the entire performance.

The show is an emotional, twisted version of Punk'd.  A young man named Steven is described a being a lazy, good for nothing fellow who takes everything in his life for granted.  From these qualities, Steven is selected to be secretly filmed for an odd experiment in which he is placed into the stimulation of a zombie apocalypse, ideally to come out with a new perspective on life.

Sounds like a pretty neat idea, but the whole charade just seems off to me.

The camera angles were just too convenient not to be staged.  Considering that all of the cameras were supposed to be hidden, it seems too unlikely that they would catch so much clear footage.  The camera suggests that it would have been placed nearly right in front of Steven, which would make it obvious to anybody that the entire ordeal was a lie.  However, the show carries on after this point, which would insinuate that this Steven is just an actor.


How did Steven find the will to restrain himself from killing the zombies?!  I think most people would agree that during a zombie apocalypse, zombie slicing is 100% encouraged.  Here he is, behind the safety of a fence standing a couple feel away from a crowd of zombies, but he makes absolutely no effort to kill any of them!  DO YOU NOT PLAY LEFT 4 DEAD?!
 
Steven didn't try to confirm the authenticity of the zombies.  I don't recall him inspecting the zombies at any given moment, and it seems unusual that he could so easily accept the idea an apocalypse.  Such an outrageous idea would certainly require some extent of skepticism, right?

 Maybe the entire concept of the show was to create something that people would want to question, something that would immediately become a hot topic.  If that were the case, it evidently worked, because a Google search would support that many spectators are also making an effort to dissect the credibility of Steven's case.
 
Although it series looks to be obviously staged, it's still a fun way to kill time.  If you would like to make your own judgment how convincing the acting is, it's currently posted on YouTube.

Holy snap!  I just quit my senior management position in school today, and it feels so good.  My position was director of technology, and I just didn't have my heart in it.  The biggest problem for me was my lack of knowledge on the fact I was being graded, and naturally, it fell rather low on my list of priorities.  My assumption was that it was a voluntary position (which it might actually be, and I dun goof'd by quitting).

Above that, I didn't mesh well with the rest of senior management :(  Don't get me wrong; The other managers are very nice.  I just couldn't stand the "professional" atmosphere, and the silences that sets in during meetings.  The whole charade just felt somewhat plastic and stiff.  It just felt wrong, because I'm a very animated person - like a theatre kid.  It was a challenge for me to sit down and listen to talk about deadlines, numbers and goals.

As if the business-y aspect, certain people had to ask silly questions.

I was away from school for a day due to sickness, and this just happened to be a day of a meeting.  For obvious reasons, I wasn't there, leading certain members to question my absense.  Instead of being logical, and assuming I was skipping school, they ask my friend:

"Does she hate us?"

It wasn't just one person who interrogated my friend, it was a handful.  I still find it offensive that they went on a tangent and assumed that opinion rather than approaching me.

Great job, Tam.  Excellent stimulation of a real life situation - You don't always work with the people you want.
