Relax people...I'm still alive!!!

Hello readers,

It's been a while I didn't post anything. I promissed to do after my finals which should be tomorrow but...I feel like writing today. Unfortunately, this post will be short because of my exam tomorrow. So what hapenned with me lately? A lot of stress obviously because of school. But I was also emotionally stressed. I am gentle in nature most of the time. I get rarely mad for no reasons so when I have to step up and cut someone out of my life, I feel like I am a monster. I feel like the baddie but the thing is that people take the advantage of me being nice to get what they want. Open your eyes and look! Nothing lasts forever and everything comes to an end eventually. I feel terrible but I believe I did the best for myself and my own well being. I'm glad I have friends to support and reassure me that I did the right thing.
 
Why did I do that? That's because I want to steer my life in a different direction. There are things that just cannot continue. So for those who worry for me, there's no need. Don't worry! Don't cry! Gloria is ok. She's a big girl in a big world now making her own future. :) Stay tuned for mmore this coming weekend as I will write some more....and post some more pictures! xD
 
Over....

Aftermath of my oral presentation

I came back home a while ago and I feel really tired. Today was a bad day. All the bad things are just happening today but I must say there were few times that made me laugh.
 
Everything started with this presentation. I met with my partner yesterday to practice and we had to make a powerpoint file to present our subject.
 
Her: Here's my part! Add your part in mine...I need to go.
Me: Ok! I will send it to you once it will be done.
Her: ok
 
So I sent her the final copy of the powerpoint file 15 minutes later after she left. So today at 3pm, the teacher decided that my team would be the first one. So 5 minutes before class started, our teacher asked every team to put their files on his desktop. So....we began... My partner did the introduction and it was then my turn to do my part. When I scrolled down the slides, my parts weren't there. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I was scrolling back and forth in front of the class and of course everyone noticed that something was going.
 
Me: Where's my part? This is not the right file...
Her: Yes it is...it's the one.
Me: Then Why is my part isn't here?
Her: I don't know.
Me: If my part isn't there, I can't do my presentation.
 
As we panicked, I looked at the class and everyone was waiting for the next slide. I look at my teacher.
 
Me: Ummm. Sir, we have the wrong file. Can I quickly grab my usb? It's in there. It will be quick.
Teacher: *nods* yes go ahead.
 
I ran like crazy to my schoolbag, grabbed my usb, and came back to the computer. So I plugged my usb in it and copied it to the desktop. Then, I began my part of the presentation. I didn't like the whole thing overall. We had a time limit of 30 minutes and because of the issue, we lost considerable amount of time. So I had to cut some beautiful and memorable speeches I made. URGH!!! Not only that, but it's absolutely unprofessional and irresposable of our part. Just imagine if I didn't have the file on my usb! I would have a big 0! I called Izzy today and told her everything. She gave me a good point: Never rely on anyone but yourself. You are also part of the project? Make sure you double check everything before you ever begin something important. For example, if you have a math exam, then don't forget your calculator. Oh yeah..I've seen students in my class forgetting basic things like that.
 
Else than that, I think I did the best I could and strangely enough, I wasn't really nervous. Anyways, there was some funny and sad moments in the other teams presentations. There was a team, I swear, where the girl looked like Kristen Stewart and the guy looked like Robert Pattingson...or whatever his name is. It was hilarious and I tried to hide my laugh the whole time. Then, there was another team where there are two twin brothers. Their postures, gestures, movements were the same. haha The second sad moment, which the first sad moment was my situation back there, was when one of the girl talked to much and her partner didn't have time to talk. So the teacher simply said: 'Sorry but your time is over. Next!' lol OMG! It's insane. Don't worry for her. The teacher made an arrangement with her tomorrow. Then suddenly another teacher came into our classroom and said: Sorry but my class is supposed to start in 5 minutes and my students have an exam. Oh damn! So the girl doing her part asked for two minutes when she was supposed to talk for 10 minutes. This is truly screwed up. Anyways, I wrote a lot lately so this post is probably the last one before 29th of September because I have 3 consecutive finals next week. There will be some hardcore studying here and some 9 hours marathon studying.
 
So see you guys in two weeks! Later!

Kitkat break?

Hello everyone,

I'm busy as usual. I was working on my oral presentation on powerpoint but my computer is lagging really badly because I'm copying a dvd for my mom. So I have to wait until it's done so I can continue on my work. So here I am writig a new post for you! Rejoyce!!! @_@
 
What hapenned lately? I met Sue after school yesterday and it was great. We went shopping although we didn't buy anything, we went to eat frozen yogurt, and had girl talk for hours! I really enjoyed the evening.....but I almost died. I have to give credit to Sue! She literally saved my life. Let me tell you what hapenned!
 
So it was about time for us to part and go home. That being said, we went down at 'Guy concordia' subway station. Trust me you don't want to go there. It's infested with coackroaches!!!!!!!! Disgusting! I even read an article once on the newspaper but I never believed in it until I saw it with my very own eyes.
 
Sue: Did you know there are cockroaches in this station?
Me: Yes! I read it in the newspaper! ;O *goosebumps*...*walks and looks down on the wall...a huge cockroache is walking*
Me: OMG!!! Did you see that? *starts jumping everywhere in disgust*
Sue: *smiles* Yeah I know! Gloria calm down!
 
As a matter of fact, everyone was staring at me but I didn't care. I mean...there are cockroaches!!!! How can you not flip out? So I continue jumping everywhere while grabbing her arm and made sure there isn't one nearby.
 
Sue: :O!!! Careful! You are going to fall in the subway track!
 
As I looked behind, I was pretty close there. But who is this all to blame? The damned cockroaches!!! Why are even those things created? Those aren't useful in any way. Sue also made a really good point. Never drop your school bag, purse, or anything on the ground. You don't want those bugs to cling on them and go home with you. Oh! The horror! Could you imagine that? Your home can be infested!!! Oh my god!!! It's bad!!! Really bad... There is also a tim horton inside the subway and Sue saw an employee stepping on those once. It's terrible. All the coffee  shop, the cake shop, and the pizzeria must be infested. Could that explain why I have all these stomaches for a week? I am not sure that I want to know.
 
Anyway, this was my mini adventure! The break is over and the dvd is also burnt! Time to go back!
 
See you guys next time :D
 
ps. If you are reading this Izzy, I'll shortly call you on monday after my oral presentation. Damn I can't wait for all of this to end -_-

2 weeks left

Hello Readers,
 
So I did my exam this morning and it went pretty well. I didn't finish reviewing last night and I was really tired. I would always be nervous and would have nightmares about my exam. However, it wasn't the case. When I went to bed, I wasn't nervous at all. School and exams weren't present in my mind. I was thinking about myself, my future, etc. Didn't really care about the outcome of my exam. I guess it's like this every night anyways. Then as time went by, I finally fell asleep. Didn't have any nightmares or dream. It was all black and empty. When I woke up in the morning, I prepared myself for school and still I wasn't worried. What will happen if I pass? That would be great. What will happen if I fail? To bad....try better on the final. That's how I was thinking. It was as if nothing really mattered anymore. I thought that the worse already hapenned so bring it on! So when I did my exam, it was great. I didn't feel nervous and I forgot nothing. I was able to solve all problems. There was a problem that really bugged me though. It was the last number. It asked to find the value of 's' and it took me 2 pages of calculations to find the answer. At the end of exam, I would usually review...but 2 pages for that single question is just to much pain on the posterior. If I can keep up like this, it will be great. I would go blank every time I am doing an exam and leave the classroom worried. So there are only 8 months and a half before I officialy finish school and graduate. What kind of reality is waiting for me? I don't know...I just want to be happy again.

I will probably celebrate when this semester will be over. This being said, there is only two weeks left!!!  My final exams will continue on the week of the 27th so I will be able to post a little more next week. So you guys take care and wish you luck in your exams or whatever you are doing! :)

No doubt....Ex girlfriend...

Hello,

It has been a week now. I accomplished alot of my studies so far...well not alot actually. I only finished my report. It needs some review and correcting though but I am feeling lighter for finishing this report. I must study for my exam now which is next week on thursday. Anyway, I've been studying while listening to music....and let me tell you that my favourite band was No Doubt! XD I remember when their song Don't speak when I was a child. I didn't understand the meaning of their lyrics and I was just humming along. Now that I listen to it once again, the song is totally different to me. It does describe the way I felt on May 23th. I know I promissed to not write about the past...but I feel like writing about it....OK!??!! > : (
 
The song says:
 
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
 
[...]
 
Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
 
Oh yeah....I sat there in the bathroom and cried. That was 3 months ago. But wait....don't feel bad for me because I do feel different now. Rejoyce!!! I thought I will never be happy and that I will never fall in love again...all of that, it's not true anymore. I wonder if anyone else reading this blog have gone through this but you have to be positive because you will find someone else! This my favourite verse of the song Ex-girlfriend.
 
You say you're gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Oh hell yeah!!!! I am the one to burn you dammit!!!! I am watching a japanese drama at the moment and it's called: Rich man poor woman. You must watch it and if you don't, it's blasphemy. Such a romantic drama! *_* I'm like: 'I want to find a nice, kind, and good looking guy like him in this drama!' That's why I should celebrate because I have an opportunity to find that new handsome guy since I'm single! hehe! So today, I was in the subway on my way home and there was this cuuuuuute guy...My heart was bumping really fast. What should I do? I don't know how to flirt. I peeked at him and he peeks back at me. Then I look away really fast...then I peek at him again...and I see him with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. That's when I see Gwen Stefani singing in my face from her song What are you waiting for:
 
Gwen:What are you waiting for? Take a chance you stupid hoe
Me: I can't...I'm nervous @_@
Gwen: Go, look at your watch now. You're still a super hot female
Me: Wahh!! What about if I get dumped?
Gwen: Who really cares 'coz it's your life you never know, it could be great. Take a chance 'coz you might grow
Me: :(
Gwen: Take a chance you stupid hoe
 
So what hapenned at the end? I know you must wonder! Well...I didn't do anything. :( I always thought it was weird for a girl to make the first move like that. It would be more romantic if the guy would actually come to talk to me. My friend Sue would tell me that it's worse for a girl to get dumped than for a boy and it's their job to do it as a guy. So if you got some balls in your pants, be manly and do it! I need a mentor to teach me how to make guys talk to me. URGH!!! Anyway, I think I have more important stuff to think about...like my exam next week! So have a great night and you will probably hear from me next week after my exam. Take care! :D

Protège moi

Hello Everyone,

 
It's really windy outside. Because of that, my internet connection of my pc is crappy. Now here I am writing this post on my netbook. -_- It's my first week of school and I can say that it's insane, hectic, and depressing more than anything. I can describe the whole situation with a song from Placebo called Protège moi. Its eerie sound and the creepy soundtrack really reminds of me when I walk dreadfully to the SH-building at my university. Here is the first verse....I just changed changed the last word home by school:
 
 
C'est le malaise du moment
L'épidémie qui s'étend
La fête est finie on descend
Les pensées qui glacent la raison
Paupières baissées, visage gris
Surgissent les fantômes de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudit qu'on appelle École
 
So I know you must be wondering all of this dramatic set from me. Is Gloria exagerating? Is she simply trying to get attention? Hell no! =_= It is dramatic!!! So we, the students from Uqam, are resuming what was unfinished. We had long vacation since March so it's 6 months of lazying out. So now what?
 
I have this supposed easy class where this super crazy and mean teacher didn't lightened anything at all. We still have to write this essay of 3000 words  before the September 13 and and oral presentation with my partner for 30 minutes. 30 MINUTES!!!! Is he insane? That teacher really is a nutcase man. What am I supposed to talk about for 15 mintues? After 7 minutes at most, I can talk about pension plans which is our topic. But for 30 minutes is just too much and we're just students...I got more important things to do. Sigh! The teachers of the other important courses I have did cut out some materials here and there but it's still too much. I just find it ridiculous that I am stressed out about this whole oral presentation when the other teachers have cancelled assignments that were supposed to learn us how to use programs when we will be working. It even surprised me that this teacher I had, the one who locks the door once class starts, is not doing this anymore. He doesn't lock the door anymore, removed a homework, and removed some class materials. It's a sign of relief for me.
 
Anyway, I'm super busy and this is probably a rare occasion for me to b*tch about all of this. I don't have much time to complain about it nor to mourn the break up I had. I even asked my friend to change my facebook password so I won't be surfing uselessly. All of this being written, I will post something once a week just to show you guys that I'm still alive. I'm glad I can write whatever I want in this blog. If I ever write something like this on my facebook and that silly teacher discovers it, my future will be done. Alright! I am going to sleep! Goodnight everyone and goodluck to those who are going back to school. :D

Nightmare 2

This kind of sucks. It's suppose to be a happy post about the meeting with Eva yesterday. We were in the mall, sipping some crushed juice, sitting to eat our meal, chatting and letting out our hearts out. It feel soo good. I could say whatever was on my mind: my point of views, my worries, and all the stuff that was stuck in my throat. Sue and Isabelle also called me the other night and it sort of helped me into removing the fishbones one by one. Sometimes, it's just a laugh that you need in order to feel better. You just need to talk about something positive. Nothing was in excess, nothing was redundent, nothing was too much. It was simply like a nice bath with candles around where you can feel relaxed. Well...it was until last night. Last night was the worst of all. I had the ultimate nightmare. So those who have a faint heart. you might want to skip the following part.
 
It happens all the times when I forget to do my prayers at night. So I dreamed that I was in a stadium with my mom. The event has not started yet and my mom came accross an acquaintance of her. That man was in his 50's with his wife and his mom. My mom asked him of how he was doing etc.
 
Mom: What do you do as a living now?
Man: I am a doctor.
Mom: Oh! That's nice.
Man: *smiles* Thank you!
Mom: How about your wife?
Wife: *looks at us in a very snob way* I work as an actuary in an insurance company.
Mom: Wow really!? My daugther is also studying in actuarial science. She should finish her studies in a year. *pokes at me to say something*
Me: *looks at the woman....she is not even paying attention to me* Yes I have one year left and I will graduate.
Man: That's wonderful! My wife can help you to find a workplace.
Me: That's very kind of you. I will also try to find a place on my own.
Wife: Look at her! She's not going to make it till the end.
 
My mom and I looked at each other and I just wanted to punch her face. We were so absorbed into the conversation that we didn't pay attention to what was happening around me. When we did look around, it was something very similar to the movie Two weeks later. I swear I didn't watch any horror movie lately so I don't know why I had that kind of dream. Someone came running really fast and bit the doctor's wife and went to bite someone else. The woman tried to stop the blood from guching on her neck.
 
Man: Swetie! Are you ok?
The wife is not moving and her eyes are turning redish.
Me: errrr...I think you should get away from her. She might be infected.
 
I don't know where he got an axe from but he pulled his wife hair up and was about to shop her head off but she pushed him away. She just runs after me! What the hell am I suppose to do? So I was running away as well. I left my mom there and I was like 'Crap! I hope she will be fine.'. That crazy blond actuary was just running after me. Why me? I looked elsewhere and it is chaos. Contaminated people were mixed everywhere. Some are trying to defend their children while others are trying to protect themselves. I couldn't help anyone because my own posterior was at risk. Then the woman finally got distracted and went to bite someone else. There was a soldier at the bottom of the stadium and he's waving at me to follow him along the other survivors. I kept on running and running until I went passed through that metal door Before the soldier shuts it down. There was a lot of people and it looked like an underground subway line. We rapidly went into the waggons and it took us somewhere else.
 
Finally, we arrived in a huge building and we got off the wagons. The soldiers were trying to keep everything organized. The same soldier who waved at me said: 'OK! Stick around here and don't go outside. We are waiting for the next transporation to come pick us up. So I repeat! Do not go outside and stay put. The bus might come at any moment.' What is going on? Is my mom ok? Did she survive? A soldier puts his hand on my shoulder: 'Come with me young lady!' *Young lady!? I am 26...' I follow him and put me into another group of people of survivors.
 
Soldier: So we have a mission do complete before we leave and you are the chosen one!
Me: *...Are you kidding me? My survival rate is pretty low.'
Soldier: We have to go pick up medecine packages at the pharmacy. It's 5 minutes from here. The area outside is not contaminated yet but it will be soon. So we'll have to hurry up. Just follow me and do as I say. Wander on your own and I will not be responsable for your safety.
 
He opens the door and the bright sunlight was shining down on us. We ran down the streets and he was right. There were people driving their car for work while some people are on their bycicles. Why didn't the military warn them? Maybe is it because there's lack of time and the places in the bus are limited? Are those medecines the antidote? We finally arrived at the pharmacy and we had to grab a package each. It was huge but not heavy. On our way back, chaos is slowly starting to begin. A few infected people were jumping on people on their bicycles who knew nothing about the situation. A couple of infected came towards us but the soldiers shoot them off. So we finally arrived back to the building and busses have not arrived yet. So the soldiers were at the main door trying to help other survivors outside in th streets to come in. All of a sudden, I had a urge to go to the washroom. So I asked someone and he told me it was upstairs. I went there and hurried to finish my business. It's weird...everything sounds very quiet. When I went downstairs, it was empty. Nobody were there. OMG!!! How can they leave me alone here? There was only one guy remaining in the huge room. We stared at each other and he ran away. I yelled: 'Wait for me! I'm not infected.' He just ran mad for his life to the back of the building when I finally catch him. His facial expression showed signs of relief when he saw that I was completely healthy and sane. There was also anoher group of 10 people waiting outside. So I asked: 'Why are we gathering here?'. He responded: 'Someone will come pick us up.' After a while, a car finally shows up. I helped putting the children inside and I went into the car as well. Since the car couldn't carry everyone, it would come back after dropping us to the safe place. There were a few contaminated to came attacking the car and the mother of the children did a magic spell to create illusions to drive them away. So that's how we got safely to a tall building. I followed the group and went up. So we are finally safe...for a short period of time. An engineer was working on a metal door to enhance security. The doctor to whom I was talking to at the beginning was there treating the people as well. A bunch of scientifics were working on the antidote and I have found my mom. She was sound and safe. I was so glad. Then my mom, found a friend of mine and she does the thing I hated the most.
 
Mom: *whispers* Look at him! He's not bad.
Me: =_= Now is not the time!
Mom: You just have to grasp the oportunity you have. I'll ask him for you.
Me: Mom! You don't understand the situation we are in here.
Mom: Hey! What do you think of my daugther?
Friend: *Stares at me*
Me: *whsipers at her* Enough!!!
Mom: If I give my daugther to you, would you be ok with that?
Me: *face palm myself*
Friend: *smiles at my mom*
Me: *What is that suposed to mean???*
Doctor: Look outside!
 
When we looked out from the window, the car came back with the rest of other people but couldn't get out safely because they are surrounded.
 
Doctor: We have to help them!
I looked around and everybody was pumped to help except for my friend who's writing me a love letter.
 
So that's was pretty much about it. It was scary but the ending was just weird.  woke up at 5am and couldn't seelp back. I hope I won't have to deal with such dream again. I am a little sleepy now. So you guys enjoy your weekend and I am going to take a short nap! =_= Cya!
