2013 coming soon!

Hi everyone,
 
So it's right in the middle of the holidays! I just have half of my vacation left. So I've been working on my school assignment so far. I've been able to contact my partner and we finally met to work on it. So we met at school on thursday and let me tell you something. It was a real pain in the ass just to get there. I didn't know there was a snowstorm. So when I left the house, I had snow up to my knees. I am serious! It's been a while we didn't have much snow. So I waited for an extra 15 minutes outside in the snowstorm for the bus because it was late. =_= Anywyas, i got to school and we worked on our assignment. To be honest, it was a huge disappointment. I talked to my school partner before the final exams and we promised that we would review our classnotes, do exercises,...do whatever is neeed so when we meet, we can start working on it right away. As a result, he didn't do anything much on his part. So we spent 2 hours explaining him what it was all about. Sigh! There was some stuff I was unsure about so I asked him for his opinion. He didn't seem to worry or even care about all of this. T.T On my way home, the snowstorm has caused so much traffic that 90% of the busses were canceled. that being said, the bus I was supposed to take was one of them. It was overall a bad day.
 
So my holidays were mostly school related. Despite all the bad things that hapenned, I was so lucky yesterday that another classmate of mine helped me getting in contact with someone who's also doing the same assignment. I was able to ask some questions and make clarifications. At least, we are going in the right direction.  So I am going to meet my partner again tomorrow and hopefully we can finish it off and wrap it up so I can finally spent the rest of my vacation carefree.
 
I doubt I will have time to write again before 2013. So I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a happy new year! Year 2012 is terrible but 2013 will be a fresh start when everything will turn out for the better. So take care everyonne and I'll write to you guys soon! :D

Merry Christmas!!!

Hi everyone,

So it was christmas! What hapenned lately? I finished my exams not long ago and I have one more school assignment to work. It has to be handed in before January 6th. I briefly examined everything and it seems very long to do. Urgh! I can't wait for all of this to finish. So I planned to work on it today...well I meant few hours back on christmas day. It super sucks because it's the holidays and I can't enjoy it fully. It's a blasphemy! I really didn't want to miss out this year's christmas because only the people I truly cared were there. But anyway, I decided to bring my laptop to work on my school stuff there. So what hapenned? My laptop ended collecting dust at the end. I stuffed myself with food, had nice conversations with my family, had gift exchange, and stuffed myself again. Now that I looked back, I kind of want to cry because this assignment is making me nervous. =_= But I had a nice evening so there's no regret. It's only once a year right? :D

So starting tomorrow, I have to bust my booty nd figure out what I have to do with this assignment. Then the work will truly begin when I will meet my partner this thursday. I just hope he will reply me back and that he won't have a hangover. It's new year's in less than a week. I wonder if you guys are excited but I am! I truly am! Year 2013 will be a fresh start for me and it will end all my school misery. I mean, year 2012 has been bad on so many levels it's beyond belief. The school strike, the pressure of school work (which is more than usual due to the strike), the break up, the crush who kindly asked me to scram off, and now some more pressure on school! Bring it all on! I will take it all! :P Year 2013 will be rewarding I can feel it! :D

Anyways, I will keep this post short! I must read my classnotes. =_= Merry late christmas! :)

Ho Ho Ho! XD

Hi everyone,
 
How are you people doing? This is the first time I slept so much. The week has been hectic. So Let's see! I had my exam last wednesday evening and then I spent the whole night studying for my exam on thursday. So yeah! I stayed up for more than 24 hours. You thought that my misery has finally ended. Well you are wrong! I had to do christmas shopping with my mom right after my exam. I was really tired. That gift was actually for an exchange gift for X-Mas. So we went to this store and we found nothing interesting. We hoped in another one but still nothing. So at the end, we walked in circle. I looked at my watch and it was 8pm. Remember: I didn't sleep at all. After window shopping for another 20 minutes, we finally found a store that has something nice. When we finally decided on what to buy, we waited in the line but damn it was long. Obviously, everyone seems to be shopping for gifts in last minute. But come on! They had like a month before hand to do it while I was busy with school. So we waited for another 15 minutes and we finally headed home. I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car.
 
It was 9pm once i got home and the first thing I did was sleeping. I somehow woke up around midnight and I was like 'Crap!' I must get up to work on my report. So there I was in front of my computerworking on my school report until 4am. Actually, I was working on Excel. It was long but I did a lot. So I went back to sleep and woke up at 11am to go to school for my school assignment with my team. So I got to school yesterday and worked on my homework again. You guys won't believe what hapenned. I worked really hard from 1pm to 7pm. I saved the file and closed excel. So I inserted my usb key into the computer and went to the desktop. Shock! Where is the file? I looked everywhere in the school computer but found nothing. A work of 6 hours has vanished! I couldn't describe how I felt. I think my brain went blank for a moment. Was I crying? Was I laughing? You people won't even know the difference. @_@ I really wanted to throw the chair at the computer. What could I do? Either i really cry or throw the chair at it, it wouldn't change anything. All I could do is to get a grip of myself. I met with Sue after that for a supper at Kazu! I will write about this restaurant in the next few posts once I get the pitures Sue took.
 
Once I got home, I stayed up until 3am to redo the work that has been lost. Then I slept until 1pm today. Oh yeah baby! I have been rewarded with a good night sleep! XD So I'm going to be out again tonight. I just hope I won't have other bad luck. The work I lost is just a huge blow. I wasted 6 hours of my life. =_= What is this? Some kind of Post apocalyptic X-Mas?
 
Anyways, I will be back on regular blogging now since I am done with my exams. So goodluck with gift shopping if it's not done yet. XD Enjoy the holidays!

Depression during the holidays! D:

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't write anything lately. I have two more exams this coming week and I sort of maintained my discipline for studying. So today I almost cracked. It's the first time in 7 years I did a 12hours studying marathon. Sue told me that when she was almost graduating, she was so fed up with school that she did almost whatever that has to be done. It's like you are so sick of doing something that you just mash it up just to get rid of it. Unfortunately, it's the total opposite for me. I've been studying my booty off because i do not want to repeat any courses! @_@ Well Sue was born a genius when I'm toclumsy who gets tutored. :P I just can't wait to go eat with Melly, shopping with Sue, and eat ice cream.

So that's the quick update about what I did so far this week. I want to bring a very subtle subject which is depression. I talked with a friend today and she is in deep depression. It's a very difficult to deal with this problem because it's not something that a doctor can fix. It can get serious if not addressed quickly. I'm going to be honest here. I've been depressed before. I've been unhappy with things that didn't go my way or simply you have lost the appetite of life. At a certain point in our life, we ask ourself "Why do we live?" and "What's the point to live knowing that we will die anyway?". Sometimes, we are stressed about things that is out of control like work. We were so carefree when we were children. We didn't have to think about anything. I had naps in kindergarden and snacks. That's real life. Nothing to worry about. Little did we know that problems were waiting patiently waiting for us one by one, no rush: love, school, money, work, marriage, sexual orientation, family, friends, insecurities, car, sex life, and the list goes on. Everyone go through that. Even celebreties, even the hottest guy, and even teh most beautiful girl in the world. You think britney Spears had it all happy? Even Megan Fox, which I think gorgeous, has depression and anxiety. It's kind of obvious because there are so many hate comments on youtube or other websites. The way I see it is a form of bully. So you get it now right? Even celebreties are bullied about us commoners. We all have insecurities and we all are unsure about a certain thing in life. But in reality, life is actually pretty simple. You are the one who makes it complicated. Trust in me when I say that. I had a very difficult childhood and I had to endure terrible things just to keep my family together. I'm not going to go deep in details but I'm sure that we all have a story to tell. It's ok to cry and pause for a moment to pull ourselves together. But locking yourself up for more than a month is not going to be any good for you. Even if I was to shower someone in depression with nice words and uplifting cheers it would not work. We create our own fear. We think to much. We analyze to much. We take to much seriously the critisms given to us.

When I was young, someone regularly came to hurt me. It was a nightmare. I endured it for years. In my mind, I was crying for help. But nobody came for me. When that person came over our house, I was trembling already. I had no one who got my back. I was on my own. One day, I just had enough and I fought back. I was young, I didn't have strenght but it's ok. I tried and it worked. I felt good about it. I felt like I got my life back in control. Listen girls and boys. If anyone hurts you physically or in any type of abuse, you have to fight back and let other people know to help you. You have to stand up and claim your right as a human beings. Don't sit in the corner of your room and poison your life away. You get bully at school? Do something about it! Hey! I got surrounded once by 4 boys once and I showed no mercy.

Some people go into drugs and alcohol to 'forget' their problems. They would even hurt themselves. It is that bad. You can't let that happen. The problem we have is that people might give up easily. Here's the sad thing about today's society. All people think is 'time is money'. People aren't walking but they run. The light is red but they don't give a damn and they still cross the streets. There's no time for helping others and there's no time to mourn. You weep alone in the streets thinking that someone might come to help when you need it the most. You're dreaming. They will just walk pass by you. You go live a life of filth with drugs and alcohol means you are turning your back on anything that doesn't suit you. You think there's a charming prince coming to rescue you? No. Nobody's going to help you out there. You don't wanna die? You move your own goddamn feet. That's right. That's how I saved myself.

Oh good lord! I must go back to study now...and it's already 3am. @_@ Anyways, i always get carried away...now look at this post! It's long. -_- Anyway, i hope you enjoy reading my random stuff and take care. :D

Rushing hour....for X-Mas shopping

Dears friends,

I'm sorry if I haven't contacted you guys and girls but I'm am extremely overloaded. Sigh! =_= So I have my first final next week and two more the following week. So my last exam is on the 20th of December. Then, I have this school assignment, a tedious one, which must be submitted before December 23th. What a bliss! *please note the sarcasm* Like it wasn't enough, I have another assignment due on the sixth of January. Then what? I begin school on January 7th. Urgh! My holidays will be ruined. At least I have a partner to do the work...but still. I want to spend X-Mas eating good food and not worrying about a single thing. That's when you just want to shut your brain off for some rest but I think it won't be my case. Just think about it. I'll just have 1 day to buy X-Mas gifts.

Talking about X-Max, I hate shopping for gifts. I truly hate it. =-= I have no trouble buying stuff for myself because i kow what I like. but when it's for someone else, I am always wonder 'Is it a great gift?', 'is she/he will like it?'. Many told me it's the good intention that counts so they are happy with whatever they get. Really? I would hate to hear that my gift I gave you last year ends up collecting dust in the corner of your bedroom. It's the worst thing that can happen. You never know! That person might be saying 'Oh yeah! I love it! Thanks!' But it really ends up somewhere in the basement. So what I do, I buy stuff that I like for other people. If I don't like it, don't expect someone else to like it either.

There's a little problem though. $_$ All the stuff I like are costly. 'Oh this is nice!' *checks price ....Stands in shock, and puts it back* I don't mind buying expensive gifts to friends and family. It's just that i am limited because of my current status. Well, I'm still a student and jobless. @_@ So I just can't wait to graduate. It kind of sucks but without money, you are really limited to almost everything. When I complain about school, my mom would tell me that it's not hard. Working like her is way harder. I didn't understand back then but now everything comes to sense. When you graduate, you have a chance to sit down in your office and go back home when it's 5pm when people like my mom earn peanuts to make a living working days and nights.

Back to X-Mas gifts! Girls are pretty easy when it comes to gifts. Here is my list of stuff I love:

-box of chocolate
-mechanical pencil (I strangely have an obsession to it...I feel like a boss or superior when I have a comfortable pencil to write with :P The one I am currently using costed 10$...but it feels nice and I feel like i can own any exams with it)
-jewelries (I can be really picky though. Don't buy me a huge white watch or a hello kitty pendant...lol..no)
-pastries =)
-set of hand cream or soap..you know...those that comes gift in packages. (it looks so pretty*_*)
-manicure/edicure set (anything related to nails)
....and the list goes on.

I know it sounds silly but I'm attracted to anything that looks nice and pretty. :D Alright! Enough for today! So have a great weekend! bye :)

Breaks up!

Hi everyone,
 
I've been kind of distracted lately. My final exams will begin next week and guess what I did last weekend. I planned to study but things didn't turn out the way I wanted. My aunt came over and all we did was shopping! @_@ So she came on saturday with a special guest so I had to be their guide at the mall. The mall closes at 5pm anyways so I could have studied when we got back. However, we ended up eating to a buffet instead. @_@ So when we came back, my stomach was so full and heavy that I fell on my bed. XD The same goes for my aunt so she decided to sleep over and do more shopping the next day with the family. =_= I'm so screwed. Not only I haven't studied but I gained weight from the buffet. lol Oh well! It's once in a while. I still have plenty of time to catch up with my books if I get motivated. I got my tip to lose weight so it won't be a problem. :)
 
So it has been a while now since the horrible event hapenned...7 months already? What event am I talking about? The break up of course. So I dated this guy for 9 years. I had dreams, ambitions like children, buying a house,...until the fairy tale ended. So I will share my experience and how I dealt with the situation in order to sort of help anyone of you who are going through this.

Week 1
The first day was the apocalypse. It was the afternoon and I met Sue at downtown. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to go home yet with my face all read and wet from tears. I was simply in disbelief and I told myself that everything will be fine in the next few hours. There must be a mistake. So the first week, it was hell. I sort of isolated myself in my room and wanted to be alone. I cried every night thinking about the past and how to solve the problems or to get the relationship fixed. Everyone in my household was sick worried. I couldn't eat or drink anything. I just didn't have the appetite and every time I tried to swallow food, it was somehow stuck in my throat. I really felt miserable. I thought I would never be happy again. How am I going to overcome this? Am I going to be ok? How will my future turn out? I was thinking and crying all the time.

Week 2
Reality hitted really hard on me like a slap the face. There are things which are totally broken and can't be fixed. That's when I realized that I should stop crying. While you are weeping your tears, your ex is having a good time. So why would you regret the past when others don't even care? The first person who took me out was Sona when I wasdone being a hermit. Few days later, I met up with Melissa and Nixon. It was still painful but my friends kept me distracted. Like it or not, I tried to smile although I wanted to cry. I ate normally but not as a glutton when I was with my ex. -_- So I ended up losing 8 pounds.

Week 3
It wasn't that bad anymore. I watched dramas to keep myself busy and I would go out a lot. The key was to always do something. As soon as I end up doing nothing, I think again. So when my friends were busy, I pulled out my old Final Fantasy 8 game. I still cried but less. I had some nightmares now and then. I avoided picking up my ex's calls.

Week 4
Love. Huh? Say what? Oh yeah you heard me! :D I fell in love with someone else. Alright...it was just a crush. Dates? Maybe. However it only lasted for a short time. Yes it was short but it was real. It didn't work out but it did make me smile because it shows there's hope.

Summary
I think I finally got over it at 100% after a month or so. Are there any feelings left? Nope! The only thing that remained was nostalgia. I can't forget the 9 years of relationship. There are some good memories that I can't forget and the laughs we had. I remember when we were in high school. I would call it the 'good old days'. Do I still keep contact with him? I'm not going to lie. Yes I do. We do call each other on a monthly basis or less just to get an update on each other. I know some of you would be thinking 'Gloria! How can you still be nice with him after all he did to you?'. Well I guess it all comes down to each individual. Everyone deals a break up differently. I'm so happy that I was able to overcome this nightmare after a month. If I break up with a guy because it just didn't click, we could still hang out. If I break up with him because he cheated/liked someone else but told me, I would definitely want to break his jaw but we can still keep in touch. If this guy cheats on me, hides it from me, and I learn it from someone else then I would gladly give him the middle finger if he wants to keep in touch with me.

What is important is to not neglect yourself. It doesn't matter how long you've been with your ex. Cry all you need for 2 or 3 weeks but no more. Just think abou it! Life is to short to be wasted on poisoning your life away by crying in the corner of your bedroom. People say time heals. I sort of disagree with it. It all depends on yourself. If you are motivated to move on, you will be able to do it. You must remained happy, positive, and patient. Don't be discouraged! It's not the end but a new beginning instead. Of course it hurts like a b*tch for the first few weeks but you will somehow appreciate your new freedom. You will go out with your friends, meet new people, and you will fall in love again I assure you. Love in just around the corner. So don't resent life. Guys can be jack*sses sometimes but there are exceptions. There are guys who can be truly loyal and spend the rest of his life with you. It does exist. Don't tire yourself looking everywhere  because it will come to you. Just let it happen. The same goes for girls to. There are many of them who can't be faithful like there are women who are truly devoted.

Now just think about it this way. Why do people who live in countries where their homes are in the verge of destruction are still holding up to life? They have lost their homes, family members, and loved ones. Why keep on living when there's nothing to eat? There's no rain and no farmable land in some countries but only desert. Why do they live knowing they will die? Because they believe in miracles! Miracles do happen IF you believe in them and do something about it. So if you spend the rest of your life mourning or sulking down, nothing will happen.

Am I happy again? Yes. Will I find love again? I hope so. ^-^ Do I still feel sad? No more. So I hope it will help some of you if anyone is dealing with such situation. Just remember that in order to know happiness you must know pain. I'm going to study some more now. -_- So I hope you enjoyed the post! Take care and have a nice week! :D

 This guy truly believes in miracle..i can feel it :D : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W86jlvrG54o&feature=g-hist

Extra company not needed...

Hi everyone,
 
It's been a week I haven't post anything. Sorry about that! I had a lot to catch up with my studies. I'm not late or behind. That's what I try to avoid. Got some readings to finish and some classnotes to read. Everything will turn into a hurricane this weekend as finals are approaching. The week was good though. I have nothing to complain about except for today. I didn't sleep very well last night. I had a nightmare and an old friend came to help. I will talk about hat in a moment. I want to vent off about today first because it was schol picture! :D
 
I couldn't sleep until 2am this morning and woke up from my nightmare around 5am. I tried to sleep afterwards but it didn't work out. I was like 'Darn! I need to sleep or I will get dark rings under my eyes...' so I tried again and again but the nightmare made me think to much. Anyways, I got off my bed before 7am to get myself prepared and get some make up. It almost went into a disaster. I alwyas envied those guru make up artists in youtube. They are so good at applying make up. The problem with my face is the fact that I can't put on to much make up or else I look like a clown. Forget the eyeshadows. It just turns out bad. Just look at my profile picture. It looks like I'm part of the crew Cirque du Soleil. lol I'll need to change that as soon as I get a decent picture but I'm just to lazy for now. Everything was fine until I was done applying the eyeliner. I thought it looked to thick. I looked at the time and it was 7h15am. Crap! I am going to miss my bus. But I need to fix this first! I can't look like a clown at my graduation picture. Oh dear! =_= I panicked. I tried to wash it off while being careful to not wash away the mascara on my top eyelashes but nothing changed. WTF? I looked carefully on the eyeliner pencil and it's written waterproof. I am so screwed. Why does crappy situations only happen to me? So there I was running to my bus stop. Luckily, I got there right on time to catch my bus. So I got to class in time but it was long and I was extremely sleepy. Class began at 8h30 am and ended at noon. I had 30 minutes before next class begins. I photocopied some class notes that I missed. That classmate was really nice and we had a polite conversation. Then, I had 10 minutes to buy lunch and go to my next class. So from 12h30 to 4h15pm was a little painful. I spent all of my energy...I almost fell alseep. Picture appointment is at 4h15...crap. So on my way there, some random dude was lost in school and asked me for direction. urgh! I don't have any problems helping people but it was just such a bad timing. I quickly went to the washroom to look at my face if there was something I could fix. What ...the...!!! The eyeliner on my right eye was darker than my let eye. How is that possible? I don't know... You guys must be like 'Oh come one! It's just eyeliner!' But you guys don't get it! This is school picture!!! My last one!!! =_= I pulled out my light pink lipstick and used it. Sigh! So I went to the picture room and posed as they told me. But when they printed out the sample of my pictures, OMG!!! I'm so pretty! XD If i was a guy, i would totally hit myself! haha I wanted to scan and share it with you guys but there's to much printed information about the company on the sample. So Just wait for the real one! :D So that's pretty much my day.

*Eva don't read*
Ok! Now let's beging with the main topic. Before I write about my nightmare, I want to write about what hapenned lately in my house. I burnt some incense and prayed for safety. Not that I got hurt or anything...there's just company which I don't need. So the other week I was listening to some music with my headphones and it was broad daylight. I was sitting on my comfy chair and put my elbow on the armchair. I felt that I touched someone's hand. At first, I thought it was my mom but when I looked, there's nobody. Holycrap! T_T I don't like this feeling. But I didn't feel threaten or anything. I thought that maybe it was just my imagination. So alright! It's all cool. Then this week, I was studying as usual and sometimes I move my feet to the beat of the music I am listening to. So obviously it would move in random direction and suddenly, I felt my toes touched something. It was as if someone was hiding under my desk. I looked under and there's nothing. That's not great. This is the second time I feel physical appearance of such things.Then few nights ago it happened again. Something was sitting under my desk. Not fun guys! I know you wouldn't believe me but I am telling the truth. So I kindly pray and ask them to leave me alone. It's weird...sometimes I feel observed. I need those ghostbusters people. I wonder if they truly exists. Anyways, I'm not feeling to comfortable right now so I'll write about the following part another time.

So you guys be good! stay tuned for more next week! :D Nice weekend!

My teacher got bullied!

This post will not be a happy one. As a matter of fact, I'm not feeling to hot right now. So guess what hapenned today till now. I was supposed to have class today at 1pm. I ran to my bus but I had to run back home half way there because I thought I forgot my cellphone at home. But I later found out it was actually in my pocket. Super! =_= It doesn't get any better when I tripped in the stairs because of my shoe laces.

So obviously I was tired, hungry, and late for class. That's when I had a hard time to control myself. I was so angry that I wanted to throw my pepsi can at them. So what hapenned? As soon as I got into the classroom, it was chaos. I was expecting the class to be quiet and the teacher lecturing the class materials but no. That's not what hapenned. There was at least 7 members from our student association that forced our teacher to cancel his class. Why? Because they wanted their strike! I don't get it. I was simply puzzled. What strike? Pauline Marois is now elected and she was supposed to cancel those fees. She kept her promise and she did cancel it. So what more do you want? Why do they keep on doing this? I'm just so fed up with this crap. So the student association, which consist of 98% members in favour for the strike, made a vote amoung themselves in favour for another strike today. The thing is only those bananas voted for the strikes. The majority who literally don't care about that matter didn't participate to it. That being said, it does not represent the entire school opinion. They were cheating. We weren't even aware of this vote. We just got an email saying: 'no class tomorrow because of strike'. F*ck that! I'm still going to class tomorrow. I paid my fees so I want to assist to the service I paid for. That's what I told myself. So the students wanted their class and the association didn't want to. So our sweet teacher tried to explain to them that it was our decision of what we want and not them. Those evil bananas just kept pointing fingers at my teachers and say it's democracy. Blasphemy! Here is how they do their democracy. They pull out guns and ask: 'Who doesn't want a strike?' That's how it is. Disgusting!

Most of you who aren't student of my school right now might not understand and probably can't. All we want is to finish this peacefully and get a job. I don't need anything else. Those who have graduated already are lucky because they have to go through the crap I'm going through. They have a job now and everything. Those students in other school don't even have strikes...one or two days at most when mine was on strike for over 6 months. What will happen when we will graduate? I might be jobless. Why? because My diploma will look cheap because of my school. This is all about reputation and the image our school give. People will judge and afterall, money is all about business and work. They don't want to hire incompetent graduates who spent their schoolyear doing strike and not learning anything. But trust me! We are hard workers and we have to study under pressure. The stress we had to go through is unbelievable. I was even surprised at how I pulled it out. It's just not fair. People will get a bad impression from us because of those moronic bananas.

I really wanted to slap one of those girls and just curse at her. But I can't. My teacher and my classmates were there. I couldn't get myself that low and my ruin my chances to get a job because I wasn't happy at how things turned out. This is how it is. It is sad but we remained just and righteous...we surrended to evil. It was just sad to see my teacher getting ganged up by 7 people and being yelled at. It was painful to watch. I have never seen things like that. Our teacher told us there's only one way to get revenge for him. We have to stand up for ourselves. Yes he was bullied but he doesn't care. He already has steady jobs. He lived most of his life. What do we have? Nothing yet. So we really have to stand up and claim our right as a human beings, pay more attention to our emails, and go vote.

I don't understand men

So I'm going to write about this topic for this post. It got me thinking for a while. Men! I simply don't understand them and I never will. So you guys think that girls are complicated, dramatic, emotional, and yada yada. But guess what! Men are twice more complicated than us. I know you must wonder why I think this way. =_= 

I live well and I have everything I need. To be honest, my mom helps me financially. She pays my school tuitions, she pays my clothes, ...and all my spendings. Why is that? Because my family values education a lot. If I ever asked my mom if I could spend my allowance for a manicure, I'm sure she would gladly give me the middle finger. So she helps me with what is necessary. Of course she would buy some stuff from time to time which isn't necessary that she judges ok like nice watch for example or giving me permission to watch a movie with my friends. Of course I have to ask her because it's HER money so she decides. But if it's something beyond that like a brand handbag, I would have to pay it myself. When is that going to happen? When I get a decent job of course. But why can't I get a part time job? Because, once again, education is important so they just wanted me to focus on my studies. I'm super glad I got nice parents who care about my future. Trust me, I will always be grateful to them and I will give them more in return. Now that we're done with this little introduction to 'how I get my stuff paid', let's dig in the real topic.

When I need money, be it in a pinch for whatever reason it is, I will ask my mom. If we can't afford it,we would postpone it or find a way somehow. She is not an atm machine to me but she is the closest one in my family and I know I can count on her although it doesn't happen often. When my computer broke down, I didn't have a choice but to kindly ask her to buy me a new one. That being said, this doesn't go around for everyone. Almost every girl I know aren't shy to ask their parents when they need money. However boys are diffenrent. Why?

I had a friend of mine which his parents decided to live in different country but he has to stay in Canada. So after a while, all the money saved up will decrease after paying all the bills. So he found a job for his financial expenses. But working and going to school at the same time is very difficult. In fact, it was difficult for him. When his parents call him and ask him if he needs money, he says no. Why? Why can't you be honest with your parents and tell them your difficulties? You need to focus on your studies. Just cut the crap already. @_@ Paying your rent, food, car, school fees on your own is not easy. I believe it's ok to ask money from them if they allow themselves to help you. Why can't you accept it? Here's their answer: My parents don't make a lot of money and I don't want to bother them. I want to do this on my own. Dude! You cannot be on your own yet without a decent job. You want to act cool? Do it once you are done with school. You can pay them back later if it bothers you that much. I just don't understand. So you'd rather struggle on your own and take full responsabilities like an adult? Nonsense! Cut tbhat crap, take money from your parent, finish your studies, and pay them back with a ticket to the Bahamas.

Like it isn't enough, I know someone else who has a large amount of debt to his credit card bill. That's an ouch big time. The number of his debt is in the 4 digits. His pendings are mostly his school, few spendings with his friends, and some bills. The thing is he lives with his parents. Really! So instead of being straight with his parents and telling them he's not in a position to help them paying the bills, he continues to help his parents. I just don't understand. His mom has some huge dimanond jewelries so I guess they must be pretty much comfortable financially to afford that. Let's say they just want to look awesome on the appearance, maybe it's time for them to sacrifice a little for their son. I mean come on! But i never blme the parents. I blame the boys! Just open your mouth and ask them already. So instead of asking them, he asks money from his friends instead or other people not family related. Woah! That's bad. What's going to happen 2 months later? A little visit to their parents saying: Hello maa'm! Your son owes me money. So I'm here today to pick it up. >_> Save yourself from that embarassment! So you go ask all around town. Everybody knows except for your parents. What do you deserve? A wack on the head.

Alright! When there's no other option and you are really on your own, I understand. But when your parents offer you help or you don't even try to talk about it with them just to act cool, it's just really silly. Why? Most of them told me it's because they want to be independant. Could it be their ego? Whatever it is, I think it's really lame. If I had a son and would act like that to me I would surely repond to him: Shush lil fry! Take this money and pay your cell phone bill. I'm not saying ALL guys act like this just to be/look independant. But for the people who actually do it because they want to be grown ups, I think it's silly. You will be a grown up when you will be ready. It doesn't mean that once you hit your twenties that you are fully an adult. It doesn't matter what your age is but when you need help, just ask. My dad has always told me that I can't perfect something when I'm at school and work at the same time. He's right. There are times when you should keep your pride and keep your head high up. But there's also time when there's no other choice but to raise the white flag. So I can't understand why you guys act like this. It's a paradox.

Anyways, I'm off to bed now. I hope you guys won't get mad at me. I just wich someone could explainwhy. O.o Goodnight!

We're almost there... :D

Hi everyone,

There's a lot to write about tonight because Gloria is on fire!!! XD I just did my last mid term and it was ok I guess. No exams are made easy anyway. The only thing I hate about exams is when I am in a crucial moment to solve the math problems or insurance questions...and then, all of a sudden, I have that Gangnam Style in my head. I have this image of him dancing with his friend all in yellow. Then I'm like 'Gloria! Pull yourself together! Your exam is worth 50%.' so I try to concentrate once again. But few minutes later, he just reappear again. It happens to me all the time. It used to be Lady Gaga before. The funkiest thought that ever crossed my mind was the classroom crowded with lambs dancing a mexican song. Don't ask... =_=
 
What else hapenned? I met up with Melissa last week. We ate at an italian restaurant called De Franco. We had canolleni and it was marvelous. To bad I forgot to take a picture. :/ No worries! I will take one next time I go back there. I'm still a sucker for lasagna. I will take that next time for sure! :D

The week followed by a hardcore studying, an exam, and a meeting with Sue. We were supposed to go study together....'supposed'. =_= lol So what hapenned? We ended up eating ice cream and drooling at hot guys on her iphone through google pictures. >_> haha! What? We are singles! XD

I was dead tired when I came back home because I didn't sleep enough since I had to study for my exam. So once I got home, I was about to jump into my bed but I remember I had something to do first and that's when I was dramatically happy. I checked my school email and uess what I've found? XD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I received an email for the students graduating on 2013. WOooooaaAH! XD I am going to take my picture in two weeks. Yey! :D Do you guys know how long I waited for this moment? I feel it! It's very close. I can almost grasp it with my hands. I have to make sure I pass all my classes and everything will be fine. XD The moment hasn't come yet but I'm sooooo excited! The ceremony should be in 2013. There isn't any details given by the school but it should be some time in November 2013 hich means next year. As for the graduation, the date has not been announced yet. I'm just so happy. My close friends would know why I am so eager to finish all of this. I remember crying in the lonely corridor when I was in college because I got 75% in my first math exam...wasn't enough. It was NEVER enough. I needed 100%. I remember sacrificing my social life, shutting myself into my room like a hermit, having short burn outs, getting sabotaged by a classmate. I remember all of it. I smile right now but when I look back, I can't stop wondering myself 'How did I do all of this?'. I remember when I left biochemestry and thought I will never have a bright future. When I began to study in actuarial science, I didn't even know what it was all about. I didn't even know what would be the salary when I will get a job. A week before I began my first day of school, our principle did a speech. He said that actuarial science is one of the most difficult study in the university. Oh sh*t! What did I get myself into? He continued with a smirk on his face that only 1 student on 3 will graduate. That's when I started to panic. The students looked at each other. Is it going to be you? Is it going to be me? I had no clue. I was afraid. I quickly made friends but they also quickly gave up and left. At some point, the class would be full but the size would decrease drastically. 80% I made left. It's a fact. Is it going to be my turn soon? No it's not! I will accomplish all of this very soon. It's coming to an end. I thought I was going to be a goner. I could give up. I could of just leave and chose something more accessible. But there's something you have to understand. There's no shortcut. You'll have to work very hard for it. The feeling you get is incredible. Don't give up unless the university sends you a notification that your time is over. It sucks but failure is part of life. In that case, you just o to plan B. But if you don't have any notification, don't give up. XD I took a risk but it was an opportunity.

I know I will have a good night sleep tonight. It's to early to celebrate. That time will come when I will officially pass all my courses. So that's the big announcement. I going to take a nap. Yeah...I feel I haven't sleep enough because of my exams. So stay tuned for more next week. You guys have a great weekend ok? XD bye!

3 Extremes

Hi everyone,

So I am done with my exams....well almost. I have one more remaining and it's all good for..for the moment. I had an exam on wenesday night and things didn't turn out the way I wanted. I have an exam on mathématique financière 3. I swear to you guys it's the last course I want to do. I really hate it. It's just the material itself. It's so boring! Studying more than an hour on that subject is already to much. Urgh! So the exam consisted with 12 questions. The first one asked:
 
With the theory of Thali, solve the following problems market eficiency. Explain the two rules of Thali.
 
Ok...At least the question is easy to understand but there was a question I asked myself. Thali? Who the f*ck is Thali? Not a good sign. I went straight to the next question. It took damn long for me to finish it. The exam runs for 3 hours and it took me an hour to finish the second question. Oh hell yeah I started to panic. 1 hour!!! How on earth am I going to finish the rest? My hand was moving at a fast pace. My writing went from neat and nice to big and ugly. I looked at the girl sitting next to me. She was  scratching her head, rereading the questions, doodles her answers and erases them back. What are you doing? Time is running out! Anyway, I wasn't to happy.I talked to my classmates and it was the same for them. Oh damn! I don't want to repeat this class. =_=
 
So you think that I could sleep right after once I get home right? Nope. I had one last exam the following morning. Great! I stayed the whole night reviewing the material. I slept for maybe 10 minutes but I went straight to school afterwards. I was dead tired. But you guys hoped the exam would be easy right? The exam consisted of 6 questions. The first 5 were easy but the last one was worth more than half of the exam. If I fail that problem, I fail the exam. Oh good lord! I am getting nervous. So that'spretty much how my week was. I met up with Melissa but that would be next posts when I will get the pictures to post with it.
 
Now it's time for a movie review! You guys most watch it as it's my favourite of all time. it's called 3 extremes.

 
I know the poster looks scary but the film isn't that scary or anything. It's just a little creepy in a sense but there's no horror, no ghost, or anything of the sort...ok there might be some blood here and there but that's pretty much about it. It consist of three different short movies so we have three different stories in here. It's a collection of asian movies. I am temptation to post the link to watch here but I don't want it to be deledted because it took me ages to find it. I couldn't even download it through torrent and this is not available on your local videostore unless you are super lucky. I did find this movie a long time ago in a small videostore called Clandestin in downtown which is only devoted to asian movies and anime stuffs. It's a nice place to find rare movies and even banned movies (not suitable for broadcasting). Anyway, we are going to a tangent line here so let's go back to our main topic. My favourite of the 3 films is called Box from the director Takashi Miike from Japan *figures >_>*. I love that film director. He has the touch to make a film unique on its own. So what is that short film about?
 
 
So there are two sisters who work in a circus. They seem to like and encourage each other very much. There's just one problem. The owner of the circus seems to prefer one of the sisters more than the other. So of course the other sister would feel left out. She practices more and more without getting noticed. That's when her sister also practices and gets enclosed in a box. What do you think the other sister would do? Is she going to lock her up in that box? Is she going to help her get out? Is she going to let jealousy have control over her? I really can't say much more as it will ruin everything but i really, really insist you watch it. It's simply a beautiful sad story. It's all about the ending that you go OMG! She's....No way! So you guys watch it and please let me know how you find it. I had to watch it twice to really grasp the whole thing. If you pay enough attention and let yourself to be open, you will be rewarded with a unique story. It's very abstract so I am just saying that it's not some generic movie where it's all simple to grasp. It requires attention. Alright, let's move on to the second short chinese movie which is called Dumplings directed by Fruit Chan.

 

 So you folks see her face? It's as if you are taking a bite of your meal and you go like Huh? This tastes kind of funny. When I say funny, it means weird. What's in there? So our protagonist is this lady who's husband is cheating on her with younger women. Of course! Don't you know men already? They lust for young and soft skin. They long for fresh meat. They want a young woman who's energetic. Who wants an old hag right? So this lady has enough and tries to think about a way to solve the problem. Then, she finds out a place where meals that rejunevate youth are served and the dish is very expensive. What do you think she did? She went there without any hesitation. So if you look clearfully in the picture, the meal looks quiet simple. Nothing fancy! But she questions herself. What's in there that tastes so funny? Oh she's eating dumplings by the way. So it's kind of hard to identify the ingredients in there and everything is finely chopped. This is not my favourite film compared to box but it's still interesting nonethless. i bet you guys are also curious of what's in there. I'm not saying more. :) So last film,which is korean, but not least is Cut directed by Park Chan-wook.

 
 
Can you recognize the actor in the picture? Hehe! I don't know his name but he was the main character in the movie I saw the devil which i wrote a review in the previous posts. This movie is exceiting and if you are craving for some action and blood, then you will have fun watching this. So what is all of this about? So our main character is supposed to be a gentle, caring, generous,...the nicest man you can meet. So what happens? One night, he comes back from work and walks into his house...and then PTOW! Someone hits him on the head.When he wakes up, he sees an employee who used to work under him which our main hero here clearly discovers that he's deranged. He tries to run but its pointless since he is attatched. So our vilain finds his boss to be an exceptional man and he doesn't want to believe that. He wants to believe that nobody is perfect and everyone must commit something bad to be imperfect. So to rephrase it, he wants our main guy here to be imperfect in order to prove his theory of imperfection is true. In order to do that, he asks one thing our hero must do to be set free. When he is told of his task, he just crumbles apart and stays in disbelief. So yeah...that's why you see him kneeled on the ground looking helpless. Is he going cross the line of what your conscious tells you is bad enough to be a monster?  Is he really going to do it? Well, you'll have to watch the movie in order to know. XD
 
I know some of you might not care about this movie while some of you might want to watch it to find out what will happen. Since I'm a super nice girl, I will provide the link here:
 
 
Oh yeah! Since these are foreign movies, you have no other choice but to read the subtitles. At least you can watch it for free so don't complain. This is such a rare occasion to find someone who's kind of enough to upload this. Remember when I told you this piece of film is so hard to find. I just hope I won't find it to be deleted or anything bcause of copyright bla bla bla. So enjoy the movie and have a nice weekend! Study time for me starting tomorrow. =_= Yippee!

Midnight break

Hi everyone,

So i just couldn't take anymore. The intense studying is to much. -_- So I am taking a short break  to give updates of my life. I haven't done anything special lately except for studying. I tried a marathon of 9 hours of studying but it just doesn't work out. I mean eating while studying, reading your notes while sitting on the toilet bowl, having the formula sheets glued to the ceiling so I read them while sleeping, studying some more while I take a bath...nah..it doesn't work that way. like Sue says, when you reach almost to the end, you just feel so lazy as if you don't care anymore. I just want this to end! I'm just super motivated not to do anything...except for reading mangas during my study breaks but then I would feel guilty of spending that time reading the power point notes instead. URGH! =_=
 
So instead of reading my classnotes, I was surfing on facebook during. Shame on me! :( But then I read one of my friend's post. She complained about having a bad day because she was supposed to meet her friend or whoever she is but that girl cancelled last minute. I understand how people need to vent in order to feel better. That's the purpose of this blog anyway. But the thing which bothers me is the difference between me and her. She is pissed but most probably didn't say anything to that girl. Why is that? I complained all the time here but trust me. When I am not happy about something, I always make sure the other person who's responsable for it knows. It's crucial! Alright, I am not saying that you must punch that person's face or pick up a silly fight but to talk about it.
 
I am a tolerant person and it takes me a lot to be angry. When someone is being moronic to me, I'll let it slide. I tell myself 'Ok! Maybe He/she was in a bad mood.' I mean sh*t happens. This happens most of the time when I meet new people. Like friends introducing me their friends. It's just important to go slowly when you meet someone knew because you might know that person to much so some discussions might be more delicate than others. So yeah! I am super nice and people take that for granted. But anyway, when the that someone is being moronic to me for the second time, that's when I become delicate about it. Then, I try to tell that person into an indirect way that I don't like what they did. Example, someone calls me b*tch for fun and laughs. I am not going to laugh with you so be aware that I'm not happy. Then, the third time it happens. I'm can't help it but to be direct. So when I ask you gracefully and nicely to stop doing something because I don't like it, it litteraly means 'This is a warning. Do that again and I'll break your jaw!'. When it happens for the fourth time, that's when you see a chair flying into your direction. Nah! I don't resort to violence and I'm not a vulgar person but I can be very sharp and cold. That being said, I could end up a relationship like that. My words could be a pain to you for the next following months.
 
What happens when people see me angry? They are shocked! Why? Because they see me bubbly and happy all the time. So they see me angry...almost never. I have nice friends! :D But when it hapenned that they make me angry, they are just in complete shock. Because they didn't think I would take a step forward to claim my right as a human being. It's like 'Sh*t! Gloria can be angry! She can yell!'. Well let's say that I'm a tigress in a lamb's clothing. I can be nice and sweet but annoy me to much, i will become agressive. I think it's the same for everyone. We all have some limit to patience. We all want to be treated with respect and dignity so we treat the others the same. So if someone bugs, it's about time to say something. Your mom bugs you to find a husband every 30 minutes? Tape her mouth and hang her in the cupboard. :D nah! Just tell her you're lesbian. Just be delicate because they are your parents. Your boyfriend is treating you badly? Leave him! >_> Don't let people treat you like a doormat.
 
Now look at this! I'm supposed to have a short break and look at the lenght of the post! So be good eveveryone! Bye!
 
ps. To my friends reading my blog, I'm glad this is a great way to keep in touch with you guys. When i will be done with my exams, I'll call! :P The only thing i don't like about writing this blog is that I write almost everything that happens in my life so when i see you guys in person, there's nothing to say. haha XD

My parents are badass

Hi everyone,

I have my mid-terms for the next two weeks. I'm supposed to study but I am somehow highly motivated not to do anything. =_= Unfortunately, the party is over and I must study now. But before I do so, I must make a post for my beloved readers! :D
 
So I had a family breakfast last sunday morning. It was a feast! The only thing that was missing was the maple syrup and we would be in a sugar shack. Anyways, we were talking about old memories, reminiscence about the good old time. I remember when I used to play with them when I was young, we talked about my aunt before she passed away, the countless nicknames my cousin was given, etc. It just felt really warm being surrounded with good company. I don't get to have family gathering very often on my mom's side so it was somewhat refreshing. I haven't seen my dad's side for a long time but we seemed close as ever. During the meal, my dad made everyone laughed with his silly jokes. I swear he could become a comedian. Then everyone looked at me...
 
Cousin: You seem somewhat different from your dad. You seem a little more serious.
Me: *smiles* Well, I have my moments. I laugh when I am happy and I love to smile. There are times to be serious as well.
 
We continued to chat. When we were done eating, they all went to the living room while I was chatting with my cousin's wife. My back was facing the living room so I didn't know what they were doing. So we chatted, chatted, and chatted...all of a sudden, she burst into laugh. What's going on? O.o She laughed harder and harder. She just couldn't stop. That's when I turned around and ohhhhhhhhh my goodness! What do I see? My dad dancing to Michael Jackson's song Billie Jean. I mean he was literally doing the choreography. OMG!!! @_@ I simply dropped my jaw! They were just clapping and laughing. He was so into it. Of course he would do that only for the family entertainment. I was just surprised I guess. Just put yourself in my shoes. You're talking with someone and then BAM! Your dad is dancing. lol Anyone who meets him thinks he's cool and awesome.
 
Now, let's talk about my mom. Oh yeah! =_= You'd think I'd spare her? lol No way! >.< My mom is just simply evil! @_@ I have my desk and computer in the basement. That's where I study. When I come in the quiet basement, my mom would hide in certain corners and scare the crap out of me. =_= I'm a big scaredy cat. At some point, my grandma heard me screaming many times during the day that she had to ask me what was going on lol. So it is a daily routine now. Other things my mom would do? When I say 'Hi mom!', she would answer me with the middle finger. lol Oh mama! ==_== But of course she would do that just to tease me. What's even worse is when we go shopping.
 
Mom: Oh we should buy this!
Me: Ummm I'm not to sure about this. *looks at the price tag* Wow...That's way to expensive.
Mom: I don't care! I like it!
Me: =_= We spent enough this month. The credit card will be full.
Mom: Oh don't worry about that!
Me: ok so how are we going to pay back if we don't have enough money?
Mom: I'll just ask your grandmother! XD
Me: ....No! Let's go home.
 
It feels kind of weird when it's the parent who's supposed to control the daughter's spending while in my case it's the total opposite. To sum it all, I feel that my parent's spirit haven't aged at all. They have a good time and they do what makes them happy. Now I understand why my parents were attracted to each other. So that's the whole issue? Why am I not like them??? O.o Am I adopted? My mom says that maybe the nurse gave her the wrong baby. Oh dear! I hoe she was joking when she said that. It's just so weird when your personality is so different from your parent. Not only that, i don't look like my parents at all! So I am starting to ask myself some questions! ;O My mom is cambodian and I have no asian traits at all. What the hell? As for my dad, I do have the latin traits but i still look different from him. The only thing that reassure me I'm their biological daughter is the beauty marks. I have some beauty marks at some specific places like my dad. So I guess i am their true daughter...based on the beauty marks. @_@ Is it solid enough? Well I hope so...
 
Ok! Enough with this rambling. I wanted to do a movie review but I'm just so lazy. I will do it next post and I hope you guys enjoyed reading! Bye! :)

Evil Dead!!!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry I didn't write anything lately. I got a little busy with friends and family. Unfortunately, this trend will continue for the next 3 weeks because of my exams. I'll try my best to keep things up. So What hapenned lately? Let's start with thursday. I made a promise with god and the high spiritual beings that I would give food away fto homeless people. So I bought Banh Mi sandwiches.
 
 
This is vietnamese sandwiches. They put many types of ham in there and shredded vegetables. It's filling and really tasty. The best part of it is that sandwhich being really cheap. Each would cost aroud 2.75$. Anyways, let's go back to our subject. I bought many of these to give away but when the time came to give it, that's when the problem occured. I mean it's supposed to be easy. Instead of giving money to them, you give them food instead. But I simply froze. -_- I approched two homeless people and instead of stopping, I just continued walking. lol What was wrong with me? It's ok! I will give it to the next one. Then I spot one but he was sleeping.  Oh great! Should I just leave it next to him? If I do, he might just leave it there or forget to look around. But then, I don't want to wake him up. So there I was scratching my head. OMG! I continue my journey on walking in the middle of downtown. What should I do? I called Sue! lol =_=
 
Sue: Hello?
Me: Hello Sue! Are you busy?
Sue: I should finish very soon. What's up?
Me: I can't do it!!!
Sue: Do what?
 
So I explained and what followed were simply bursts of laughs. So she quickly joined me after her work. When she was there to keep me company, I felt better. She asked them if they wanted food and I gave. It was easy as giving candies for halloween. I think I have found the problem. I never had to walk to them and intereact with them. I was afraid they would bite me or something. I know it sounded really stupid but that's how it was. It wasn't something in my comfort zone. So doing something totally different just made me nervous. Sue would do it on a regular basis so she is used to it. But anyways, it does feel much better after doing something positive. Instead of buying stuff that would end up collecting dust, my money would fill the hunger of many people. It felt really great! Would I do it again? Of course....with the company of Sue. lol I still can't get used to it. But i might give something different this time. I might distribute a pair of socks because winter is approaching and would be nice to change socks from time to time.
 
What hapenned on friday? It was Sue's birthday! :D So we went to eat at the restaurant and then we went for a walk at the old port of Montreal. Everything was just fine...until they wanted to take a group picture. When we had to pose for the picture, I wanted to sit on top of that stair fence. So when I tried, I fell flat on my back in frontof everyone. lol I made a quick drawing of my priceless fall.
 
 
So from right to left are Leo, Sue, Nix, and me. Yes I am the shortest. lol =_= You can see on the first slide on the left that I was trying to sit on top of that fence. On the second slide on the right, I was holding onto Nix's arm to not fall but then my butt slipped away from the fence. =_= which you can see the result on the next picture.
 
 
So to continue my explanation, I sort of spinned as if I was doing ice skate since I was still grabbing Nix's arm. Oh dear! =_=
 
haha So yeah! That's what hapenned. We just laughed it off and of course they helped me getting up...but ohhh the embarassment. I didn't get hurt or anything but let's say it was something to remember on this special birthday. Something so weird and bizarre would only hapen to me. Don't ask!
 
So what hapenned on saturday? Nothing much to say. I went at the temple with my mom the whole day. My family on my dad's side invited me for supper but I couldn't make it
 
How about today? Since I missed yesterday's supper, I was invited again for today's breakfast. It was great. There's a lot to write about that event but I will postpone it for the next post as I want to combine it with somethign else.
 
So here is where the fun chitchat stops. Let's get to the main course! * Eva, you should stop reading right here* I know alot of you have read this notice before and must be wondering what's the deal with this. Well Eva reads my blog once in a while to catch up with what is going on with my life. But everything related to horror and scary things will just scare her until she can't sleep. So that's the notice to warn her that I'm going to talk about things I love! :D I want to talk about my favourite movie of all time!!!!! EVIL DEAD! I will always remember the first time I watched that movie. It's a classic from the 80's. Even watching nnow still gives me the goosebumps and I would skip my late night shower and snuggle in my mom's bed....and i still wouldn't feel safe.
 
 
 
Anyone who hast'n watched this movie should check it out. To my surprise, there's a remake to this movie. No it's not fake! It's for real and here is the link to it:
 
Now, I don't know who directed the remake but it's not Sam Raimi. After watching the trailer, it sure does look scary and violent but ...I don't know. I haven't seen the movie so i can't really say anything yet. The disappointment I can feel from the trailer is what scares me. In the classic, it wasn't the gory scenes that scared me but it was what hapenned to the people that scared me. I remember when one of the girls got possessed and sang: 'We're going to get you.' It's totally crazy. You have to watch it yourself to understand what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH2xNIFL6EM
 
Just imagine when you open the door and see someone doing that. OMG!!! The horror!!! That's f*cking creepy! @_@ I still remember watching this with Thany back in the time and he was left completely shocked while mumbling '...madness'. This original movie has things that makes it a true horror movie. There are scenes that remain in your memory and just can't be erased...the events that you pray it will never happen to you. It's not gory, the blood, or the jump scares that makes it the horror movie unlike nowadays. I kind of miss that horror essence that turns a film into a horror one. Anyways, the trailer of the remake does look scary but I just hope they will keep the same pattern. I will be disappointed if it turns out into a Hostel movie. I can't wait to watch it though. :D
 
I know I'm talking a lot about horror stuff lately. Well come on! It's almost Halloween! DUH! :3 So you guys take care of yourselves and I will write again soon. Bye!

Walking with the devil

Hello Everyone,
 
Ah! Beautiful day it was. Actually, it wasn't to nice outside but I received a good new today. So of course everything would go nice and rainbow no matter how ugly it is inside. Such as a child getting a candy so he forgot about his injury. What hapenned? Well I finally received the results of one of my courses from last semester. :D I passed! I did above average so that makes me even more happy. So I've been refreshing the school result page for days. But it's not over yet. I have to keep the same rhythm for the present courses I have this semester. That's pretty much about my updates. I haven't done anything much except for studying, eating, and sleeping. I also watched my favourite show ever! XD Walking dead!!! *Ok Eva! If you read this post, you can skip the following part...till the end :/*  I'm sure many of you know this show. Just in case there's a minority who doesn't, which happens, let me introduce you to WD (walking dead).
 
 
Oh yeah!!! So what is it about? It's an apocalyptic world dominated by zombies. So our protagonist is a sheriff officer or a police who wakes up weeks later in the hospital after the event. He finds himself alone and the hospital seems pretty much empty...well not really. When he discovers how the world has come into ruins, the first thing he wants to find is his family. The beginning is somewhat similar to 2 weeks later. But as the storyline progresses, this serie brings to itself something unique and scary which is realism. Normally, people would group up together when something happens. But here the question is: How far are you ready to go in order to survive? What are you ready to sacrifice? Anyways, you should defenitely check it out if you are a horror fan. But isn't it awesome to have
 
Last weekend, I checked an interesting movie which is called I saw the devil. It's a korean movie but you can read the subtitles to understand. I found it easily on youtube.
 
 
So this movie is more of a thriller/suspense theme. The protagonist has a fiance and it's all lovey dovey. However, things become bitter when she becomes a victim of a serial killer. She was killed in a really gruesome way. His life is shattered and he swore revenge. But it wasn't any ordinary revenge. He wanted the psychopath to suffer as much as his lover did. He could of just catch him and kill him. But he thought: Wouldn't that be to soft to just finish him off? He could drag him to the police but then the atonement for his crime would be to live in prison. What our protagonist wants is physical and psychological suffering as punishment. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Overall, it's a great film. At the end of the movie, the antagonist explains how a psychopath feels. The last scene of the film makes you think: What do you do when there's an evil you cannot defeat by justice means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil, or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrending to evil? If you can overcome the gruesome scenes, you will be rewarded to a nice concept and storyline. Are the violent scenes mandatory? I think it was necessary to a certain point because I believe the director wanted to send the message across.
 
At the end, Walking dead and I saw the devil share something in common. Both protagonists commit things which are grusome in order to have their selfish, which is arguable, desire to be accomplished.
 
So that's it for today's post! My study break is over! If you decide to watch the tv serie or the movie, I hope you enjoy it! :D bye!!!

Forgiveness

Hello Everyone,

So what's up with me? Nothing much. I've been sick and I still am. -_- I just can't wait to feel better. So what hapenned this past week? Nothing much except for studying and reading this textbook...
 
 
 
This financial bible has the size of a dictionnary. So I hope you guys understand now why I have no life at the moment. lol But it's great thought. I had a nice week and I met Sue a lot lately. So, we met again today. She calls me and says that she will come around 5h30 pm. Here's the thing with her. When she gives you a time, add another 20 or 30 minutes. haha I was in the mall anyway so I went to a bookstore and I've found something interesting.
 

 
I a huge fan of horror and this was quiet satisfying. It's about the apocalyptic world after an event that hapenned I guess. So the world is divided by two groups of people which the first are the ones who are called the unchanged while the other one is....I forgot but I know it's the people who have lost their marbles after the incident and would become extremely violent (they are called the haters I think but I'm not sure). So The people who remained sane try to survive as much as they can. To be hones, I would like to finish that book. I would buy it if I can. I only read the first 3 pages and it's good so far. I guess it,s a good sign. When you feel bored reading the first page, that's when you would toss the book away. Anyways, I think there were things I didn't grasp to much because it's a trilogy. Dog Blood is the last sequel so of course I should read the prequel first. But I grabbed something randomly to read while waiting for Sue so I didn't read much...next time I guess.
 
We went to eat afterwards and then we went at McGill libray to study. But something incredibly funny hapenned on our way there. I even laughed alone on my way back home in the subway and people would look at me with that 'What the hell?' look. So what hapenned? In order to get there, we had to walk up that steep street. So I saw a bus coming and I suggested to get in instead of walking up that street. So we got in and the bus drove. The only problem we had is the streets being under construction. For that reason, roads have been blocked, and the bus had to take a detour. Imagine that straight in the middle of downtown. It took a while to get where we wanted. So when we finally got up there, we left the bus. Sue then realize that we had to walk at the opposite side of the street. The problem is that the other side of the street were difficult for us to reach because it was blocked my cement blocks because of the construction.
 
Sue: Let's cross the street.
Me: I don't think it's a good idea.
Sue: No no! Trust me! it will be fine. We'll just jump over it.
Me: *looks right and left for the cars* umm Sue...I think we should...*Sue crosses the street* OMG! Sue come back! @_@
Sue: *smiles* Just come! Look at me. It's easy. *She tries to hop over it but realizes that the cement is high up to her chest.*
Me: Sue...haha come back.
Sue: *tries to hop over but failed many attempts...she smiles and comes back to me.*
 
I was just rolling on the floor. Imagine a young woman dressed in business clothing trying to jump over blocks of cement. I just find it funny. lol This will be associated with her forever. Another good memory to remember! :)
 
So that's pretty much what hapenned. It will be her birthday next monday but she will be celebrating it on friday next week. :D She will invite her friends and also people I know. So she asked me to contact them and inform them about the event. That's when I began to hesitate about one thing. Should I invite my ex? Sue didn't mind to invite him at all but she doesn't want it to affect my evening. Will it be awkward? I kind of felt bad because everyone will be there except for him. I already moved on so that's not the issue. It's just really awkward...I mean...he's there and things are different. We used to be close and everything but this time, we have to put a certain distance between us and I don't think I would be myself. So yeah...I decided to cut him out. Oh well, we'll see in 10 years. :) But really, it's nothing personal. I forgave him and the other girl. It does feel great. Here's what i tell myself:
You plan to stay here and sigh? You think you did something wrong right? Then apologize, do something to make amends or else you keep sighing like this and poison your life.
I hate that feeling of guilt and it can be extemely heavy. So forgiveness is the best thing there can be. People say I am being to nice. But what I want most of all is peace in mind.
 
Alright, this is enough for today. So hopefully you guys will read again soon! Bye! :)

Hating girl!

Hi readers,

This post will be different from what I did before. I am going to make a list of things I hate. I thought of writing a list of things I like but it's kind of boring so this is going to be a hate one. Enjoy! :)
 
1. I hate when I have take the garbage out and then it just leaks on my legs.
 
2. I really hate when I set my alarm clock early morning for class but forget to turn it off when the class is cancelled. I just press any random button to shut it off but it sets automatically to snooze when you don't press the red one. So yeah...I get tormented by my alarm clock again 5 minutes later.
 
3. I hate it when I'm mixing ingredients for a certain dish and then...oups...we have no more eggs. -_-
 
4. I hate it when people change their minds in the very last minutes. Like when we are supposed to meet, I wait at the place after 1 hour of traveling and then your friend calls and says 'Sorry! I won't be coming.' I usually forgive if there's a valid reason concerning life and death but if it's because you don't feel like it anymore, then you deserve a high five on the face.
 
5. I hate people who brings others down to make themselves feel better.
 
6. I hate it when you go to the market to buy something which is on special but then you see a customer looting the last 20 packages of crab meat you wanted...
 
7. I hate it when people call early like at 7am on a saturday morning.
 
8. I hate it when people make up things that you didn't do or say. It's like the time I transfered the Concordia university for UQAM. Someone came to me and...
 
him: I heard you are leaving Concordia university...is that true?
me: Well ...yeah it is correct but...
him: ok! * walks away*
me: ........
 
~later during family supper~
 
him: Gloria is dropping school
*everyone is in shock and they all drop their jaws*
me: *mouth full of food* huh?
mom: umm...no...that's..
him: Yup she is quiting school.
uncle 1: Really? You are dropping school? *disappointed*
me: *opens mouth to speak*
him: yeah she told me she's dropping out. She's not going back to school.
uncle 2: No way! You can't do that! Is it because it was to hard? How about to study something else?
him: Nah! She's dropping school.
uncle 1: let her talk. Did you really drop from school?
me: Yes...I am going drop Concordia. *everyone looked dreadful* I am quitting biochemistry because I don't like it. But I am going at UQAM instead to study in actuarial science.
uncle 2: Wow you scared me!
uncle 1: *glares at him* So who told you she was quitting?
him: She told me...
me: I didn't say I wasn't going back to school.
 
At the end, everyone was happy for me except for him and his wife because she was embarassed. Whatever his motives were, this sounds as if it is related to number 5.
 
9. I hate people who are rude. People might think I'm easy to be treated at how they like it because I am gentle in person so they think I won't strike back...don't push your luck. Don't look down on any woman because a faint heartbeat turns the woman into a blade.
 
I don't have anything else in mind right now. So have a great weekend and I'll write some more soon! :)

Life of filth

Hello everyone,

I hope all of you had a busy weekend but it was great. My cousins invited me for thanksgiving on saturday and then I went to visit my aunt with my family on sunday. Now there's isn't much to do but to study and I am sick on top of taht...not cool! =_=

Anyways, I want to write about a certain lifestyle today. Before any of you get offended or anything, let me tell you first that this is just my opinion so I'm not saying that I'm entirely right. I was thinking about an event that occured months ago. What hapenned? We were eating in the restaurant and a bunch of girls in the group wanted to get ...wild and have some fun. They wanted to go clubbing, get drunk,...and do whatever they felt like it. One girl in the group didn't want to do and the other girls were disappointed. They said We want the old you back! repeatedly. Wanting the old you back? What is that supposed to mean? So I asked my friend what they meant and she said that she used to go clubbing, get drunk, vomit, and get back home at impossible hours. But she didn't want to go back to that lifestyle. Honnestly, I am proud of her. I don't know if any of you noticed but she wants to put her life back together. Why? Simply because she feels that the wild life isn't healthy for her. Anyway, I am really glad that she realized that. I upseted me is her friends who tried to persuade her to go to her old bad habit. Why would you do that? It's ok to go clubbing to dance and have fun. It's alright to drink once in a while...taht'S what we call social drink. It's ok to stay late at night because you are having a good time with your friends. But it is not ok to stay late because of those junk. How can alcohol, drug, smoking, and gambling can bring benefit to your life? I believe I have every right to say this because I have witnessed families breaking apart because of addiction. Those girls who tried to bring my friend back to that kind of life should think before saying anything. They are like the little demons on the left shoulders saying 'It's ok. Just do it. Everything will be alright.' which is completely irresponsable and thoughtless. The life she was in was a life of filth. Take that money and buy yourself something more useful or you can even help some starving people who live in the streets. On top of that, she was about to get married. Her bow husband is someone who doesn't drunk nor any of that crap. Just try to imagine when they will have children and the wife comes back late at home. It won't be a pleasant thing to look at. I can imagine the father who's trying to put the children on the right track 'Listen children! Don't look at your mother. She's not a good example to look at. Don't do that ok? Look at dad instead.' Raising children is not easy and if you plan to have a family, you better start to fix yourself because living a life of filth is not the way to go. Why would you waste your life like this? Do something positive for yourself and stop wasting your money on crap like that.

I have seen people drowning into alcohol, and indulge themselves into adultery. It's simply disgusting. Can you respect and love yourself a little more than that?
