I feel more tired today than any other day of this week even though today was the slowest day of the week for me. I think it’s because it’s Friday and I am quite eager to get off work.
Leslie arrived in Toronto shortly after lunch and took a cab to my office. I have to admit that I was a bit worried with her taking a cab driven by an idiot. He was quite rude and didn’t know the addresses I mentioned eventhough they are fairly popular streets. I had to tell him to drive south and then I had to enumerate the streets he would be passing and all that.
Turns out she gave him some attitude during the ride too because he was rude to her. I love my cousin.
I was really glad to see her and gave her a small tour of the office. It - being a small office and all - only took me about 10mins to show her the entire place. I introduced to a bunch of people and afterwards, when we were safely out of earshot, told her who were good and who I hated.
Luckily, I’m still sitting at my old desk in my old office and we had the room to ourselves so we were free to talk. I was a bit swamped with work so I had to keep working on my PC while talking to her at the same time.
After work, Steve was sweet enough to drive us back to the airport to pick up Brian. Then we headed downtown to drop their stuff off at the hotel and then went to a Korean Grill for dinner.
After dinner, Steve and I dropped them off and then headed home ourselves since we were pretty beat from work. When I got home, I proceeded to unpack my stuff and continued reading Harry Potter. I couldn’t resist not finishing the book since I was so close already and was really eager to find out how the story ends. I finally finished around midnight and then went to bed.
Too bad I had to go to work today. I would’ve rather spent the day out with Leslie.

Down below we go
These past few months at work have been excruciating and interesting at the same time. For the most part – painful. I’ve been considering looking for another job. The problem is, that’s all I’m doing… considering.
Most recently, work has been a real rollercoaster ride. Like Steve said, it’s always been a rollercoaster ride but recently it almost feels as if we’re falling right through. Where do we put the blame? There are so many factors that contribute to possible demise of this company.
Several co-workers have submitted their two weeks notice and I think I should do the same. Looking for another job is a lot of work, I admit, but I think at this point it is quite important that I really put effort into it.
It’s time to move on.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
Wow.
I have to admit I didn’t expect it to end that way. Some of the things that happened, I kinda guessed it already but some of them took me by surprise… wow.
Did I like it?
LOVED IT!

Dinner, The Toronto Zoo, Wonderland and Harry Potter
What a weekend I just had.
Friday night, Steve and I spent the evening with his family. I met his mom (finally!) and although she didn’t speak nor understand English, she was quite polite and friendly. She did give me a hug before I left and told me in Greek that she was glad she met me. Aww.
Then we went to his great aunts’ house and visited for a few minutes and then went to dinner with his dad. We ate at this tiny restaurant called New Orleans and it was quite nice. The place was cozy and warm and the food was absolutely AMAZING! It was a bit pricy of course… each meal was about $20 but it was delicious. I’m not such a big fan of fish but I had tilapia and I loved it. I would definitely go back there.
The following morning, Steve and I went to the Toronto Zoo with my family. We got there around 11am and went through the African Safari first and then the Indo Malay Region and then the Canadian territory and then finally the Dinosaur display. The Toronto zoo is huge! We didn’t expect it to be that big. It was really fun and we enjoyed seeing so many different animals. We saw rhinos, elephants, cheetahs, lions, a polar bear, grizzly bears, giraffes, a cougar, bald eagles, orangutans, gorillas, etc. It was nice to see Steve and my family spend time together. He gets along with them so well especially with JR who has always been the quiet one in the family. After 7 hours of walking, we finally decided to call it a day and head home. Surprisingly, we only covered half of the zoo with those 7 hours! There was so much more to see but we were exhausted already.
That same night, Steve and I pass by Yorkdale to grab a bite and watch a movie. We passed by Indigo because I wanted to get a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. After eating, we were too tired to do anything else so we decided to just head back home and leave the movie for the following day. We were both so tired that we both did the same thing – went straight to bed and woke up the next morning.
Sunday, I woke up and realized I had slept over 12 hours. Steve had done the exact same thing. We decided to go to Perkins for breakfast and then head out to Wonderland since it was near Perkins anyway. I wasn’t really in the mood for roller coasters… I knew I would get sick as soon as I get on one. Steve was quite thoughtful and considerate, only taking me to rides that were relatively easy and just watched some shows. After Wonderland, we went back home to rest and then went out again to grab dinner and watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I truly enjoyed the weekend.

Gawk
Steve lives in one of the nicest neighborhoods and quite often, we would pass by such beautiful houses that could make anyone gawk and stare. Some of them are regular sized houses and by that I mean they’re not mansions or anything. But most of them are quite huge and almost guaranteed to have cost over a million dollars.
In the many times we’ve passed these houses, I never see anyone outside nor do I see anyone walk in or come out of any of them. Although once I think I’ve seen a dad playing with his kids outside one of the houses but that was about it. Steve and I always wonder where these people are and whether there are people actually living in these huge houses.
Sometimes while driving through the neighborhood, I wonder what these people do for a living… how do they have the money to pay for such extravagant, expensive houses? They coulnd’t have just inherited money from their ancestors and they couldn’t all be lottery winners…there’s way too many of them! But I do wonder what kind of people they are… are they like the people you meet everyday on the street or like the guy waiting in-line with you in the grocery store? Or are they greedy executives who probably have poor, abused subordinates? What’s it like to have a lot of money or to live in a house so big that you need a map inside?
Seriously, I almost want to go ahead a knock at their door one day and just ask, “what do you do for a living and how do I get that job?”

It Had To Be You
It had to be you, it had to be you;
I wandered around, and finally found - somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue;
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinking of you.
Some others I've seen, might never be mean;
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do.
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still.
It had to be you, wonderful you;
It had to be you.

The weekend
I’m hungry. I’ve noticed that around noon, my ability to concentrate on work goes down. It’s as if my tummy is telling me that I’ve been working too much and that it is now time to eat. Of course it doesn’t help that I can smell the food being prepared in the kitchen (our company provides us lunch).
While waiting for lunch, I guess I might as well talk about my weekend. On Friday, Steve was off work and the day was going by oh-so-slow-I-almost-died. I was so glad to see him after work when he came by to pick me up. We spent our Friday evening just relaxing at home with Fey and watching “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle”. I’ve never seen it before and I thought it was pretty funny. We had originally intended to go and see Tansformers that night but the showtimes were too late for us to go see it.
Steve picked me up early Saturday morning because we were going to go to the JW Convention in Hamilton. I’ve never been to Hamilton before and it felt like a long drive although it took us only an hour to get there. I was amazed to see so many people… I honestly didn’t know there were so many JWs… It was pretty interesting and I have to admit I learned somethings I didn’t know or think of before. After lunch, I was trying my best not to fall asleep but it was just impossible so I ended up dozing off. Steve was laughing at me at one point because I was bobbing for apples. The blue dress I wore that day (which happened to be new) had purple ink on it and a bit of strawberry juice by the end of the day. Talk about being clumsy.
That same evening, we had planned to see Transformers but once again, the showtimes weren’t that great and so we ended up watching a Korean movie with Fey and Daniel. It was such a good movie and had us fighting back tears through it. I ended up crying at the end of it. It was just so sad. It was a very impressive movie. We just don’t know what the title of the movie is because it’s in Korean.
Sunday, the family and I went to a Chinese Restaurant downtown and had lunch there to celebrate mum’s b-day. It was fun but the weather was awful. It had rained the entire day and everything was just damp and humid. After lunch, we decided to do a bit of shopping at the Eaton Centre and then I went to meet up with Steve. Later that night we took Daniel with us to an Italian Restaurant and then just relaxed at home after.
So the weekend has come and gone and we still haven’t been able to see Transformers.

Slow Day
Wah. Today was one of the slowest days at work. EVER.
The day just seemed to drag on and on and on and I’ve been trying to keep myself entertained with anything I can find to do. Unfortunately, it didn’t help at all but I’ve managed to survive.
And now, it’s officially the weekend! YAY!

Bad Mood
I’m so tired, it’s not funny. Plus the fact that Steve’s off today makes being at work even worse. Ugh. Not having my partner-in-crime at work is NOT GOOD.
JR and Miguel saw Transformers yesterday and they said it was really good. I’m dying to see it too but thinking of long lines and crowded cinemas makes the whole thing seem like such an ordeal. I’ve heard nothing but good reviews about it and I’m sure I will love it. I mean, how can you not want to see it?!
Because Stevie isn’t at work, we’ve had to order pizza for lunch. We normally have pizza on Fridays anyways but today’s pizza was just too soggy and not appetizing at all. I knew it, today would absolutely suck.
As you can tell, I’m not in the best of moods and I wonder if it’s because (A) Steve’s off today (B) I’m super duper sleepy OR (C) I’m PMS-ing.
I just want the work day to be over already. Can you give me that?

Doodles on Paper
I was a little bored at work today so I started doodling on pieces of paper with my new set of multi-colored pens. Everytime I needed a break from testing, I would whip out my pens and start writing nonsense on a piece of paper. I would make fancy letters and color the middle. I’m most likely wasting paper and ink but it’s entertaining.
I had written a single word on a small piece of paper with a red pen and colored the insides of the letters with purple. After much work, I looked at what I had made and admired it for its abundance in color. And then I proceeded to tell myself how creative I was and how much time is going by just by doodling (oh sorry, I was making “art”).
Then after admiring my work, I looked at my watch and realized I only wasted 5 minutes of my time. Great, that’s just craptastic.

Two Left Feet
Sometimes I will be listening to a really upbeat song on my iPod or in the car with Steve and I’ll start moving to the song, forgetting that I’m not alone and other people are probably looking at me thinking I’m crazy.
I would often realize what I am doing after a few minutes, start looking around to see if anyone is looking and blush a bit in embarassment. Just the other day, while waiting for the pedestrian light to turn green, I started moving to a song I was listening to. By the time I realized I probably looked like a fool, this guy in a car was looking at me with an expression I can’t quite read. I was so embarassed that I crossed the road in a hurry and rushed inside our condo.
Last night, Steve was driving me home and the radio started playing The Way I Are and I started moving to it and Steve looked at me and laughed. It was a bit embarassing but what could I do? I had to laugh.
I love to dance but I don’t think I’m very good at it. In fact, I do most of my dancing in my bedroom where no one else can see. Even when I go out with others to a club or a party, I hesitate to dance. I always get very self-conscious and I try to hide behind the really good dancers. I know, I should just let go and try to have fun with it.

Cold
I’m so glad to not be training today. I feel very tired and coffee this morning didn’t help. To keep myself occupied, I’ve decided to do a bit more QA and my bug list has tripled in size. Yeah, the boss won’t be happy with development and development won’t be happy with me.
I was smart enough to wear warmer clothing today. I’ve been refusing to wear warm clothing for some time now because I feel that I SHOULD be wearing light summer clothes since it is SUPPOSED to be hot outside. But the past few days have been a little cold and so I thought it’s about time that I wear clothes that would cover me up a bit more so walking outside or riding the train wouldn’t be so uncomfortable.
Sometimes I wonder where all the cold air is coming from. Darn Alaska.

One Hip Slip Too Many
Last night I passed by the mall on my way home because I needed to buy a bottle of conditioner, body lotion, and a black hip slip. I bought a black dress over the weekend and if I stood in the sun, you can almost see through it and glimpse my undies. Of course I wasn’t having any of that so I needed to buy a hip slip.
Now, who knew that finding a hip slip would be such a difficult task? I thought they would have it at La Senza for sure but apparently they don’t make hip slips. Dammit, I don’t need them to make one… I just need them to sell one! So there I was walking through Eaton Centre, entering stores that I thought might possibly sell them and found nothing. Finally, I decided I would check Sears since it was the nearest one to me. It was horrible. First, I couldn’t find an attendant who could tell me if they sold them so I spent a good amount of time walking around trying to find someone. When I finally did find someone, they pointed me to the farthest corner of the floor and said they would be on a rack against the wall. I got there and all of them were not only long but they were too big.
So I decided to check out The Bay. The Bay happens to be on the other side of the mall so I had to walk all the way across and then go several floors up until I got to the appropriate section. Similar to Sears, they also had them in a corner but luckily enough, they had my size. Just to be sure I tried them on and then paid for it. I ended up getting home late just because of a stupid hip slip.
I really did consider just returning the dress at one point.

End of Season
The end-of-season sale has already begun and I can’t help but feel sad. It’s a huge indicator that summer is almost over and I feel as though it hasn’t even begun yet. The weather has been a bit crappy and the temperature’s not even close to what it should be by this time of the year. Winter seems to drag on and on and on and summer always seems to fly by. It’s just not fair.
I’ve only been able to wear my bathing suit once and I want to go to the beach and go swimming still. Summer just CANNOT be over yet! I refuse!

Random Fact
One random thing I learned at the ROM on Sunday: The weekend was born sometime during the 1870’s. During that time, people worked 6 days of the week and only had Sunday’s off. The men worked for 10-12 hours per day while women worked 12-14 hours. Several companies noticed that the number of people showing up late for work on Mondays was increasing and so they started to let employees out early on Saturdays and hence the weekend was born.
Interesting huh?
Interesting huh?
Canada Day Weekend
The long weekend has come and gone and I am once again sitting at my desk at work wishing it was the long weekend all over again. It was a good break – having started the long weekend right with a BBQ in the office. It was nice to be at work on a Friday afternoon, doing nothing but eating BBQ and talking with people instead of working.
Friday night, Steve and I met up with friends at Jack Astor’s to celebrate Elisabeth’s graduation. We thought we’d be late but traffic had cooperated and we got there right on time. The following morning, Saturday, Steve and I had breakfast at Crème de la Crème along Bloor Street West and then headed downtown to the Royal Ontario Museum. He had gotten us museum tickets since I’ve never been there. We didn’t want to have to worry about parking downtown so we decided to take transit instead. Steve was so adorable taking the TTC… he was swiping the metropass the wrong way. LOL.
The ROM had 4 floors, all of which we visited. It was pretty amazing and we both loved it. It’s so interesting to see and learn about so many different things. We had taken some pictures with my phone camera since I had forgotten my digital camera at home. By the end of it, our feet hurt and we were starving. We must’ve been there for atleast 3 hours but it was all worth it. After the ROM, we took a walk along Yorkville and did a bit of shopping. That same night, we met up with Denny and company and went to Remy’s and had drinks on the rooftop. Since I don’t like the taste of alcohol, I drank iced tea the entire time. It was fun but I was freezing. It would’ve been nice to stay there for several hours if it weren’t so cold.
Sunday, I attended my first ever JW meeting with Steve. We stopped by Milestones first to have lunch since we had an hour to kill. YUM! The meeting we attended only lasted an hour and afterwards we headed to his place to change and then went to the beaches to play beach volleyball with his friends. I haven’t played volleyball since highschool and it is pretty safe to say I sucked at it. Steve on the other hand was amazing. He was the best player among all of us and I’m not being biased or anything. It’s the truth! He can return the ball and serve with ease. While he was racking up points for the team, I was getting bruised on my arms from the hitting the ball so hard. I don’t even know who lost of who won or how many games in total everyone played.
After volleyball, we went to another beach for the bonfire and to watch the fireworks display. It was so cold and thankfully we had brought a blanket with us. We were surprised at how many people had shown up. We had a beautiful view of the city and the water but it was super uncomfortable sitting on the rocks. Steve and I kept complaining how much our bum, our back and our legs hurt and we kept adjusting our sitting position and trying to find ways to make ourselves comfortable. After a couple of hours, we decided to head home since it was just plain uncomfortable already and we were freezing. We both got home at 3:00 am and I was so tired that I couldn’t even say my prayers straight.
Monday, Steve and I decided to go to his cousin’s place and we had brunch together and played Monopoly. I had to take a nap after because I was still exhausted from the day before. We spent the entire day there and left late to go home.
It really was a great weekend. We got to do so many things and see people and although we were pretty tired after, we had so much fun. Dammit, can we move back time and do it all over again?

That same night, we met up with Denny and company and went to Remy’s and had drinks on the rooftop. Since I don’t like the taste of alcohol, I drank iced tea the entire time. It was fun but I was freezing. It would’ve been nice to stay there for several hours if it weren’t so cold.
Sunday, I attended my first ever JW meeting with Steve. We stopped by Milestones first to have lunch since we had an hour to kill. YUM! The meeting we attended only lasted an hour and afterwards we headed to his place to change and then went to the beaches to play beach volleyball with his friends. I haven’t played volleyball since highschool and it is pretty safe to say I sucked at it. Steve on the other hand was amazing. He was the best player among all of us and I’m not being biased or anything. It’s the truth! He can return the ball and serve with ease. While he was racking up points for the team, I was getting bruised on my arms from the hitting the ball so hard. I don’t even know who lost of who won or how many games in total everyone played.
After volleyball, we went to another beach for the bonfire and to watch the fireworks display. It was so cold and thankfully we had brought a blanket with us. We were surprised at how many people had shown up. We had a beautiful view of the city and the water but it was super uncomfortable sitting on the rocks. Steve and I kept complaining how much our bum, our back and our legs hurt and we kept adjusting our sitting position and trying to find ways to make ourselves comfortable. After a couple of hours, we decided to head home since it was just plain uncomfortable already and we were freezing. We both got home at 3:00 am and I was so tired that I couldn’t even say my prayers straight.
Monday, Steve and I decided to go to his cousin’s place and we had brunch together and played Monopoly. I had to take a nap after because I was still exhausted from the day before. We spent the entire day there and left late to go home.
It really was a great weekend. We got to do so many things and see people and although we were pretty tired after, we had so much fun. Dammit, can we move back time and do it all over again?
