C'est la vie

QUOTES TO LIVE BY; To accomplish great things, we must not only dream, but act; It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult; Smile: if you can't lift the corners, let the middle sag; You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Class of 2006






I've always enjoyed school (I'm wack I know), but I just do, and to think that my university days are over...makes me kind of sad: ( Well at least for the time being, I do plan to do my Master's, but I think I will try the working world for a year or two, before I dip my toes into the lifestyle of a student once again.

To believe or not to believe?

Friday evening my sister and her friend's opted to check out the psychic festival that was happening in town. A friend of her's had checked out one previously the year before and from all the hype she had heard she figured, why not for the fun of it. As I simply put it you take these readings with a grain of salt, because essentially I STILL believe your life is governed by your hands, your decisions, your actions. However, I did get a pretty good laugh listening to her stories......yes....some of it was bang on. However, I suppose some of the forecast left me in laughter (not that it was unrealistic but). As to whether these readings can be validated, time can only tell.

Saturady night 21 of us (family and friends) went out to dinner to celebrate my sister and Sovie's joint bo-day party, turns out at the end of the night as we are about to leave the place, my dad discover's that there's something wrong with our van ( I knew we should have taken our other car), turns out we had to get the thing towed in the end.

It's almost 1am....the lasts guests are trickling out the door. We had a dinner party for my father's birthday today and invited some of his close friends over. My father's a simple man. At first glance he comes across extremely shy, intimidating and and at times scary to approach (or so I've been told by guys), but that's the opposite of his personality. He's extremely talkactive and vocal, you just got to know how to keep a conversation up with him (simply just talk about familylife/values, fishing, his reminising childhood days in Cambodia, or home renovation and you've got smooth sailing. He's a workoholic and on his days off.....goes absolutley crazy, when he finds himself with free time. So he occupies his weekends working on big projects (building a backyard deck, building a pond for his Koi's, this summer the focus is he's attempted to rebuild/enhance the water fall in our pond to make it bigger and better (which I simply don't see the point, as does my mother). When it comes to his projects we've learned to leave him be:)
I'm so proud of him this year especially for quitting smoking!
