| Was that really the last time I updated this blog? Wow, does time just swosh away when life happens. Let's have a rundown of the noteworthy events in the past 6 months, in no apparent order.
1. Got laid off in March, but briefly enjoyed the time wasted on EI before getting approved into a program that will train me to start and run my own business. The Canadian government isn't perfect, but it certainly tries its best to make resources available for citizens during tough times.
2. Business in question is a T-shirt company ... more on that as it progresses. Will now HAVE to buy that serger.
3. Congrats to MJ and Jason! Welcome Amelia to this crazy world we call home.
4. Congrats to Annemarie and Jason! It was such a beautiful wedding and thank you for making me a part of your special day!
5. Started DJing Monday Nights at SRadioClub ... formerly SoompiRadioClub. Reminds me of the early days at banana ... when we really didn't care about money.
6. Starting to Twitter again and embrace my online whore once more.
7. Kpop fandom's current obsession for the past 5 months is After School. They can dance like nobody's business, are tough as nails and sexy as hell. Not only do I believe that if I pick a fight with them, I will get beat up - I probably would enjoy it. Also, Chae Yeon is back! Woot!
8. Playing Plants Vs Zombies will never be the same. RIP Michael Jackson.

| Things to do in the new year ... | 1. Learn Mandarin - even if it kills you
2. Gain steady employment - even if it kills you
3. Earn and save to buy a Serger sewing machine- even if it kills you
4. Put self on a severe budgetary diet of only $100/ month of recreational fun, allowance of $250/ season for clothes - stick to it, even if it kills you
5. Continue with T-shirt surgeries .... to maintain sanity from killing oneself |
Friday, December 19, 2008 - Snowed-In Day
1. Learn Mandarin - surprisingly I actually got around to it and found out that I know much more than I thought I initially did. Although the twice a week evening classes are killing my beauty sleep a bit, I'm very pleased with the rapid pace of which I'm picking up the language. Course it also helps that I'm watching a really good Taiwanese drama called Fated to Love You. Between the Mandarin and Taiwanese, I can actually watch a clip and know what they're saying. 加油！
2. Gain steady employment - well ... it's employment and fairly steady ... and it's slowly killing me a bit.
3. Serger sewing machine - between the Hollywood Bowl concert and the tuition fee for the Mandarin classes ... it can wait
4. Put self on budget - haha ... did I really say that and actually mean it? ... I must've been joking.
5. T-shirt surgeries - Woot Woot ... I've actually been able to come up with some nifty really sexy designs - now, if only I had a serger, the things that I could really do.

| Hello, is this National Geographic calling?
Yes, I took this photo ... Yes, it was walking across the parking lot at my work ...
No, I didn't step on it.

| This weekend I went with a co-worker (who by the way is male and very hetero) to the Clothing Show - as it turns out, he seemed more excited than I would expect a heterosexual male should be. I certainly learned a few things from him in terms of bargaining as he cracked the most racist Jewish jokes he could get away with. (He is Jewish by the way.)
His damage for the day was around $150 which included parking, admission, food, a new winter jacket, a hoodie, 2 DVDs, 2 caps and the image of one of the fashion models from the show imprinted in his memory bank to be accessed at a later time.
My damage in one day
totaled just over $350
...
That included:
Parking
Admission
One-of-a kind earrings
More earrings (2 pair)
Hoodie and T-shirt
Hollister track jacket
Full-length sheepskin coat - custom tailored - which obviously is a good chunk of the damage
Dinner in Chinatown
Case of coke candy and a box of mochi from Japan
There really is nothing like retail therapy after having a really rough couple of weeks. Who says you can't buy happiness ... even if it is only for a few short moments.
