Weekend wasn't that bad...

Saturday, I got together with my roommates in the morning and we all did some house work. In the evening I watched a couple of movies... "The Chronicles of Riddick" and does anyone remember "Adventures of Babysitting"?? I love dat movie!! :P

Sunday, I went shopping with Arran and his bf Manny and afterwards we made some appetizers for the Oscars. I do have one comment about the award show. 4 frickin' hours too long!!! Seriously, c'mon this is just ridiculous. We started watching at 6pm - The Red Carpet Event and the awards ended at midnight. But I must say that Ellen Degeneres did a really good job hosting the awards. I just think that perhaps the short films and animations and other small awards could have been kept off camera. I know that their work is important too but who the hell cares?? lol After watching the awards, I now want to see "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Dream Girls".

Monday Jokes:

The death of my computer?
I haven't even finished paying this dam piece of shit and last week it crashed on me. waaaaaa I believe that this is the work of an infamous virus that affected part of the world's computers. My work got hit by it and I.T. guys were running around trying to patch things up. So tonight I plan on calling Dell Support... wish me luck! which will likely get me to India. So I pray that whoever answers the call will know their stuff and will help get my computer back on track without loosing much files. Especially my precious kodak pictures which I haven't done any backup cds since last year. :-( @#()%$*!$$

Nyxem Virus:
Computer experts had warned that February 3rd could bring gloom for many as a computer virus called Nyxem was scheduled to start deleting files on machines it had infected.
Nyxem is programmed to randomly delete Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents as well as pdf files, zip files and several other file types. The virus was released several weeks ago and has spread by forwarding itself to email addresses found on the computers it infects.

Thursday
Like we would say back home, "Y STORM!" This morning we woke up to a snow storm. I thought it was just foggy at first out there but then I got closer to the window and realized that it was snow and wind mixed together. So it took a bit longer than usual to get to work. Got to my destination and was just on time, 9:00 on the dot! As I was trying to scrape the snow out of my hair I noticed that my shoes had a ring of salt which I just hate. So now just on my lunch break contemplating on what to have for lunch. I do have some noodles and I am getting addicted to the shrimp flavoured one. Mmmmm yummy! And that concludes an exciting day with Christian. Stay tune for more fun! zzz lol

A Guide to Life (Love this one...)

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the coffee...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life."

The golf balls are the important things- God, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Monday
Blah... is all that came to mind this morning. I seriously wanted to stay in bed this morning. As for the weekend was pretty good though. Even though we had numerous guests staying with us in our apartment, Mike from Edmonton visiting Alessandro and Mandy and some str8 dude because of a conference at York University, the place was not that overly-crowded as we thought it would be! We really have a huge-ass apartment. Plus I was extremely happy to finally meet Mandy. She is such a nice gal! On Saturday, I also met up with my friend Billy for his bday dinner. I missed his party last week and didn't get to see him drunk -DAM. So I took him to Masa, an all-you-can-eat japanese restau and had a blast. I think people were starting to get tired of us as we were laughing so loud. Again, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BILLY BOI! ;)

Short inspiring story

There once was a little boy who had a really bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger or hit someone, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry the wound is still there."

February 15, 2006;
newspaper read today:

Torontonians were left digging deep after a heavy snowfall on Valentine's Day.

In the first major snowstorm this winter, nearly 10 cm of snow blanketed the city by yesterday afternoon on top of the 10 cm that had fallen overnight. <-- It's a miracle the city didn't call in the army again! LOL But then again, I am from a place where 70 cm of snowfall is nothing and people still go to work.

Be my valentine?

A farewell goodbye kiss

Anna Nicole Smith: 1967 - 2007Remember back in the days when Anna Nicole married that 89 year old billionnaire? Then after his death later came the lawsuit against the family because she was not on the will? She did live an interesting CRAZY life that's for sure.

11 people hanging from a rope...

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping......

Husband Wanted

A lonely widow, aged 70, decided that is was time to get married again.

She put an ad in the local newspaper that read:

HUSBAND WANTED:
MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70's),
MUST NOT BEAT ME,
MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME,
AND MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED!
ALL APPLICANTS PLEASE APPLY IN PERSON.

On the second day she heard the doorbell. Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray-haired gentleman sitting in a wheel chair. He had no arms or legs. "You're not really asking me to consider you, are you?" the widow said. "Just look at you. You have no legs!" The old gentleman smiled, "Therefore, I cannot run around on you!" "You don't have any arms either!" she snorted. Again, the old man smiled, "Therefore, I can never beat you!" She raised an eyebrow and asked intently, "Are you still good in bed??" The old man leaned back, beamed a big smile and said, "I rang the door bell, didn't I?"

The wedding is scheduled for Saturday

Tuesday
Didn't go to work today... I seem to have caught a little cold bug and this morning I couldn't walk on my left foot! Pretty scary shit... It felt like all the nerves on top of my foot were knotted making it very painful to walk on. The foot spa that I bought last summer on eBay came in handy! I think it's because of the cold weather we've been having. Our apartment has been so frickin cold since then. Where the hell is global warming??? LOL

Monday Joke... Man, this one is hilarious!!

Dear Abby, My husband is not happy with my mood swings. So last Christmas he bought me a mood ring so he would be able to monitor my moods.
When I'm in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a big fucking red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond.
Sincerely,

Bitch in Boston
