I just guaranteed this post here so that I could have my traditional retrospective blog entry before the year ends. As it turns out, this post will be short and direct, just like the year was for the subject being.

Starting with a really bad decision, caused by boredom and weird curiosity, I'd say [57] was a big fat mistake. It didn't get much better as I explored my fantasy for strangers with [58], but at least that gave an opportunity to write [59] off from my list. I was kind of content for finding [60], which was not only a very convenient choice, but also a satisfiable subject in bed - too bad the jerk was cheating on someone that I would actually like to meet someday. While still in this interesting game, I felt for the begging calls of [61], which was so deeply interested that I felt I was doing a pity date. Luckily I got away from that and continued my adventure with the previous number. I ended the secret encounters with the latter just because something much greater came to my life, which is the amazing and current [62]. I have no intentions on growing the list any longer, specially because the bird I have in my hand right now is probably one of those legendary creatures you can only catch with a Master Ball. Let's see how it goes in 2011, then.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's bold

I'd better write this retrospective post soon, otherwise I won't be able to do it this year.

I finally completed some kind of post-secondary education, and although it makes me happy that I got past that milestone (despite the fortune I spent on it), I feel weird when I think about my peers who are graduating from a slightly higher rank of education. Of course I plan to go back to school, but somehow I feel like for once I lagged behind. In 2009 I managed to work at least a little bit at Seneca, but in 2010 I almost became a full-time employee (which was against their policies). I managed shifts at the bookstore and FCET during my crazy 6-subject last semester, and if it weren't for that modafoca and his e-hack-penis, I would've gotten a perfect grade (GPA 4) and graduated with high distinction. I settled for a standard distinction though, since that was enough to make my mom and sis proud. Speaking of which, this year they came to visit me for the first time, and although it would've been better if I were in a better living situation, it was good to have them here experiencing what made me stay. As soon as they left, my life got incredibly better, but that remains for them to see when they come again.

It took me quite a while to find a decent job after graduating. I was deeply sad while working at Ontario Place for a ridiculously minimum wage, while my few job interviews were quite weird. My first failure was with Accenture, which screened me out over the phone for my lack of ability in asking relevant questions. After that, I met these two guys with this interesting idea for a web application. I actually got quite far in that interview process, but I gave up after getting a task that I had no idea how I would complete in the given time. Luckily that was about the time when I heard from my third and last interview. Over the phone, this lady from HeadStart Solutions really appreciated my academic and volunteer experience, and that's how I got a personal interview at a company whose field of work I didn't really understand. On my personal interview, I dared to walk in wearing snickers to contrast my poor-looking interview clothes, but luckily the recruiter saw the potential in me past my inability to dress well. For the last interview with the real bosses of the company, I managed to dress normally, and given that the recruiter was strongly recommending me, I got the job.

While welcoming the QA Analyst in me, I felt bad for settling for something outside of the programming field just to get through with this damn immigration process in Canada. I ended up ignoring this feeling, given that every experience matters when it's time to move on with your life. It's been 6 months that I am officially a full-time employee in a company with standard offices and everything, and I don't quite know when I stopped feeling weird about that. Managing budgets at the end of the month and buying office clothes once in a while became habits without any resistance. To better accommodate my schedule, I moved to a suburb, away from my friends. That caused the rupture of some ties, and the weakening of others. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to my normal social life again one day.

Now for the last and most important change in my year, I don't even have the words to log. All I know is that after several attempts with people that didn't quite fit in my life, I found someone who gets a checkmark in pretty much everything on my wanted list. We've been through some really bad stuff, but unlike most other relationships, I keep feeling like trying again every time we fall apart. I hope the new year brings even more joy to our lives together, and that our little misunderstandings will all crack like a silly boy's jokes.

For the songs, powered by last.fm, we have 7th: Tegan and Sara - Call It Off (Zulema, the concert, and her girlfriend); 6th: Vampire Weekend - White Sky (freedom in my old apartment); 5th: Arcade Fire - Ready to Start (my new place); 4th: Voxtrot - Raised by Wolves (nostalgia and letters to Brazil); 3rd: Kings of Convenience - Mrs. Cold (Mareks); 2nd: Prata Vetra - Rudens (new language, new culture); 1st: Metric - Help I'm Alive (The Wreck Room, and how I wish I could go there often).

SeeYa,
Feliploko, happy 2011.

Nothing ringing inside, no?

It was not so long ago; I was in high school. I was the kind of person who would read a book during the break instead of socialize with others or play sports (except for when one of my few friends would come pay me a visit in my little corner at the science lab once in a while). During most of those years I was addicted to Ragnarok Online. My friends kept telling me that, and I don't know if they really understood that I was aware of that fact. There was not much I could (or wanted) to do, since RO was one of the very few things that I enjoyed doing at that time. As Leonard from The Big Bang Theory once said, people with little sense of achievement in real life are easily susceptible to virtual world additions. And that was it: besides being loved on the online world for my website and my childish flame wars, the only thing I was proud of was my academic standing (which very few people used to truly appreciate). I remember being enormously joyful when Hanna Morris was praised, and disgracefully depressed when she was condemned. But I still refuse to call that phase a waste, since it nested the birth many of the good characteristics I have today.

One cold morning, just like any other in the short Brazilian winter, I decided once again not to go to school, so that I could stay home playing RO. I knew that could bring me trouble, since the day before I did the same thing and my mom didn't really appreciate it. I ignored my alarm and stayed in bed without making any plan to escape my mother's disapproval. Only when hearing her footsteps coming down the wooden stairs that I remembered I should do something. Without a better idea, I simply hid my backpack in my drawer and myself into the closet. Obviously, my mom sensed something was wrong and came to my bedroom to verify. For some reason she was having loud thoughts, and I could follow her logic. She noticed the washroom unusually dry (and I never go to school without showering); then, she found my keys on top of the computer table (and she knows I never forget them at home). Finally, she opened my drawer and found my backpack there, concluding her theory that I hadn't gone to school. Maybe she thought I had run away from home or something, because she didn't expect to find me inside the closet when she opened the doors to check if my clothes were there. She was surprised for just about 5 seconds, before she got angry and started requesting answers I didn't have. She took me to school that day, and told my father what I had done (which led to an uncomfortable talk with the man I rarely got in touch with). After that, I started elaborating much better plans to skip classes (and finally never got caught again).

That story has nothing to do with the fact that I bought myself a Nintendo Game Cube when I came to Canada in 2004 with my high school, but for some reason both these thoughts were tormenting my mind just minutes ago. I thought about coming to post them, just so I make sure they will never go away. I really do miss having inspiration to log more events of my life in here.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's addicted to RO again.

Sorry for interrupting you

It's December already, and I haven't gotten back to posting here. I definitely want to log my traditional end-of-year summaries, so I hope I'll come back for those. As for today, I can write a quick entry about the latest news.

I found out there are a few things that are not ok with my health, so I'll start treating them soon. Nothing to worry about, just some things my body used to be ok with, but is starting to reject now. Perhaps my company's benefit plan could help cover some of the costs for the treatments, but if not I'll just have to manage the budget (which I've been doing a lot lately).

I can't wait to be free from some of my debts, so that I can finally use most of my salary on my future instead of my past. The numbers still scare me when I compare them to what I used to have in Brazil, but I guess that's natural when you move somewhere with a stronger economy. I'm still not sure about some pretty important things about my future, such as where I will live (both city-wise and type of accommodation-wise), how I will get around (and if it will change according to the season), and which career/education path I should follow.

Not much more to talk about for now, so let's finish here.

SeeYa,
Feliploko; what's going on?

My doctor fingered me today

Image Placeholder

For some strange reason I felt impelled to post today after this strange incident. And I've been premeditating how to go about it without compromising anything, but hopefully the only people to read this will be future versions of me pursuing some strange nostalgia on blog posts. My doctor's procedure, and I found no other way of saying this in a discreet manner but by separating the elements of the sentence the furthest possible, honestly aroused me. Luckily it was not noticed, but the awkwardness was still present. I always wondered how exactly this kind of thing felt, but it wasn't until I experienced it that I could understand. Now I kind of empathise with those people with guilty pleasures that we read about. Perhaps it is partially related to the fact that my doctor is a cute gay guy, but that by no means make him an available partner for coitus (although it doesn't keep me from fantasizing). Sometimes I find it hard to concentrate on the matter of our appointments because he's staring at me the way my subway vitrines do. Of course it doesn't help that his last name sounds way too far east of the Berlin Wall, and that this peculiar fact is known to skew my perception of attractiveness.

But really, I won't fall in love because I got my intimacy violated by someone I feel attracted to. I just thought this would be an interesting experience to log. Just for the record, I lied about it to my boyfriend saying a nurse did the duty instead. That wasn't because of the feelings from the paragraph above, but solely because I didn't want to discourage him from doing the same procedure (which he needs to). His discomfort with the topic would certainly increase if he knew it is the doctor who feels you from inside to analyze your pre-disposition to rectal complications. Have a nice day you too.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, un es Tevi mazliet mīlu.

Autumn

So the blog is in downtime again. There's not much I can do about it; just wait for my inspiration to come back.

In the past 3 weeks not much has happened. Mareks and I bought Dalton, which is a vacuum robot that cleans our place while we're outside. It wasn't cheap, but it's not much more expensive than a regular vacuum anyway.

My probationary period at my job finally ended, and I got my bonus (highly taxed) and my benefits (bs). I was waiting for these benefits to go to the dentist fix my problematic teeth, and after finding a great dentist and getting a terrifying quote, I discovered my insurance plan is ridiculously cheap. It won't pay for my whole treatment, so I'll be on the red again until I can pay my credit card. But that's life - let it move on.

I can't wait for December, when Oscar predictions start to get more accurate, and Eurovision contesters start to appear. Also, I plan to do some more flashback posts here when the time comes. Bear with me while I'm not in the mood for posting often, because I promise it will be worth it once I come back =]

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who needs to take care of Dalton.

Good morning, good morning!

I'm still not in the mood for big posts =[

This past week and weekend were very nice. I didn't work on Thursday and Friday (Jewish holidays), so I had time to go grocery shopping at the super-cheap Chinese store next to my house. On Saturday my friend from Ottawa (Marc) came to Toronto for a marathon and stayed at my place. We went to the Expo that day to get his chip and everything, and then we stopped at Maggiano's to eat before coming home. On Sunday we woke up early to see him run, and in the afternoon we went to Main Street Unionville (somewhere in Markham). That place is really cute, and it feels great to spend time there. I had a pumpkin latte at Timothy's before coming back home, and that made my stomach upset for the rest of the day =[

Back at work on Monday, my budget miscalculations were getting on my nerves until Marekoso helped me calm down. I finally got my signing bonus and my health benefits, so hopefully everything will settle down from now on. I'm almost finishing FF8, and I'm still not sure of what I'll play after that =P There are so many options! And I guess that's all.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who spreads little pieces of bread all around.

Another week went by, and I have nothing to post about. My weekend was very quiet, with some movies here, fruits there, lots of FF8, and some walking around. We finally got some work to do at the office, but I finished my part in less than 2 days. This week will be short again, since we're getting another 2 days off for Jewish holidays =] That's it.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who was actually meditating.

I haven't been in the mood for posting lately. I guess it's been a while since I last read my blog archive. This last week was very quiet, since we got the Jewish new year as a holiday in our office. I spent most of the very long weekend playing FF8, with the exception of Saturday that I went to Fairview Mall with Marekoso, and Sunday that I had a visit from Kevin at my place. Not much more to log =]

SeeYa,
Feliploko, whose hands are not shown to anyone.

Absolutely nothing goes here...

Except the fact that once more I forgot about my blog's anniversary! Haha~ This time it was the 7th anniversary, and I only noticed more than two weeks after (that's why I'm editing this post). I would never think that this would last so long, and I'm glad I chose this server to host it (people who chose others now don't have anything from their old memories =[). Well, congratulations to me and this memory log, then! =]

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's got nothing to say.

Tenancy Act

Nothing new and exciting for this post... This weekend was pretty quiet, without anything in particular that is worth mentioning. On Monday I finally finished applying for my OHIP card, after 3 unsuccessful attempts. They still made a mistake on my mailing address, so I have to go back there today to correct it.

I've been playing Maple Story at work for quite a while now =P Whenever I have free time, I log in and finish some quests with my xbowman. I leveled up a couple times already, and now I'm lv39. I also started playing FF8 at home, so I can finally play the last FF before the PS2. And that's all.

SeeYa,

So what do we have for the weekly updates this time...?

For the weekend (which included Monday), I went camping with YAY for the second time. It was quite fun, although it rained most of the time. My junior Anthony and I talked a lot about Maple Story, and we feel much more connected now than we were last year. I was part of the Green Team, and fortunately most of the nice people were in my team as well. Once again, the food was awesome, but washing dishes the American way was awful. My team definitely won the olympic competition we held, but they decided to give the merits to another team to avoid accusations of favouritism.

Once back in Toronto, I did laundry and cleaned my place, preparing for Mx's return from BV. I desperately need to buy groceries, since all I have at home is potatoes and chickpeas.

Today I had the funny theatre at my workplace to impress a potential client. Our bosses encouraged us to invite friends and relatives to come to our office for the day and pretend they work here. They wanted to avoid the potential client from thinking we are not a serious company since we have so few employees. I invited a few people, but only Minoo was able to come. I met her at the bus stop, and we went for lunch at a nice and inexpensive Chinese place nearby. We got a ride back, since many of my co-workers went to eat there too, and we started acting when we arrived at the office. The client only came to our area for less than a minute and spent most of the time in the meeting room. Anyway, it was fun to have Minoo for a day at work.

I watched Inception in the evening with her. Excellent movie, with very interesting ideas that make you wonder while you're not busy paying attention to little details. After the movie I went to Mx sister's place to say happy birthday to Sabine, and then went home.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who was deep in the heart of the green green jungle.

Nothing interesting in the routine for the past few days, so I will not use the boring style. Let's see if it works...

A friend of the Nicest Bibas is in town, and I had the chance to see him and introduce him to my other friends =] Pedro (which is not the anti-omnipresent NB6) came at the end of last month, and although we talked before he landed in Pearson, we only saw each other on my house-warming party. I told him it was a good idea to meet the people from Express, and he enjoyed getting to know David and Zulema. As a result, he came to Express this Tuesday and joined us for our coffee time. Too bad we don't have as many good queers as we had before, but it's still fun. He might come to Zulema's birthday this Friday, and he already bought tickets to see Vampire Weekend with David. Finally we got someone else for the team after such a long recession!

And I'm having an immigration nightmare with my last work permit application -.- After waiting for more than 2 months, they started processing my application and already found a problem with it. Back in the beginning of last summer, I had a tough time getting my study permit - I had to turn the world upside down and even go to the border with the US to get everything done. Because of that, I only got my permit in August, which was way after my start date at Seneca. Apparently, Seneca shouldn't have left me study in the summer, because now they are having trouble with immigration. CIC said they don't issue work permits to people who broke one of their rules, and studying before your study permit is fully processed is one of them. I'm biting my nails while waiting to see what Seneca is going to do about it, because if they help me, I might get my work permit without any more complication. Otherwise I will have to move mountains again to proceed with my immigration marathon.

In the meantime, I keep hell from breaking loose with all the other applications I have to make. Health coverage in Canada is so complicated that I wanna kill Mr. Moore for deceiving me in his documentary. I can only go apply for my OHIP card once I get my work permit, and since I don't know which day they will put as a start date for my coverage, I don't know how much private insurance coverage I should buy. Without either OHIP or private insurance, I can't take any study at PMRI, which means I can't pay my debts yet. Would someone from CIC kindly end this nightmare for me, please? This is not asking too much, is it? =[

Well, until then, I endure.

SeeYa,

Boring routine. Tuesday after work I went to Express and chatted with my friends, then I met Mx at Finch station to go home. On Wednesday I took Mx to a walk-in clinic, then we went to food basics to buy some groceries.

Thursday Mx went to gym late in the afternoon, so I played some games at home before he arrived. On Friday I met him at Diana's place after work, and we went to Yorkdale mall to do some shopping. Everything was expensive, so we only bought some stuff at H&M. We went back to our neighbourhood, and I decided to eat at Pizza Pizza before going to Food Basics again to buy some more groceries.

Saturday I woke up and went to PMRI for a screening appointment. When I came back, I started getting things ready for my house warming. David was the first to arrive, but not too long before Zulema. She gave me a new coffee machine and a lovely picture of her and Lilian =] Pedro and his friend Felipe (my chara) came later in the afternoon, and we chatted at my balcony for a long time. Nate was the last to show up, and after that people started going home little by little. When Nate left, I cleaned everything in the house and then went to bed.

Sunday, as usual, was laundry day. I knew it was gonna rain, but I tried to dry my stuff outside anyway. My clothes got wet in the nano-second that it took me to bring them in once the drops started to fall. Mx called Janis to see if he was going to Costco that day, and after a positive response, we decided to join him. We went to Diana's place, and from there we went to Costco. I finally bought a lot of stuff that I needed to buy, and Janis was kind enough to give us a ride back home. We tried to dry the clothes outside again, but of course the rain came back. We went to Aoyama Sushi across the street to eat some sushi before Mx had to start fasting, and then we came back home to watch Simpsons and Family Guy until we were tired enough to go to bed.

Today I said goodbye to Mx as he left for a whole week, and now I'm at work editing my blog. I don't know what I will do later on, but probably it won't be anything exciting that is worth putting here later. That finishes this deadly boring post.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, and the finger-eater-bird.

We are working hard

Image Placeholder

It's not working again. What can I do? =[

Anyway, on Wedensday I didn't watch Inception after all. We decided to watch Salt, which wasn't too bad. And I also didn't apply for OHIP >.> I got caught in a heavy rain that let me soaked, and when I got to Service Ontario, I found out I need my new work permit to be able to apply for it.

So I have no idea of what I did for the days included in this post... My memory is indeed getting worse. I know that Monday I went to SHC to finally see my doctor, and he booked some appointments for me to do some other exams. Before going home, I went for Sushi, and since Mx insisted so much, I invited Rauf to eat with me. He joined us, and he had wonderful news since he had just had his last hearing with a positive result. Some other days I probably watched movies with Mx at home, and that caused my landlord to complain about internet usage -.- Well, I guess I'll finish this post short as it is.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, whose fun is underneath.

Chill Out

Image Placeholder

Oops, something went wrong and I have to correct it with a big post now =P Pardon, pardon.

Wednesday after work I took the Steeles bus to Seneca College, where I had planned to meet Minoo. I finally payed her back what I owed her, but I made a new debt because I forgot to get the money for the metropasses she bought for me and Mx. I helped her with her INT4 project, and we chatted a bit to update each other on what's going on. I left when it was already dark, so all I could do was go home and sleep.

Thursday I had an appointment with a nurse at SHC to check my stomach problems. I left work early and took the 139 rocket at Finch, which made me get downtown much before I expected. I then decided to go to Alex for a haircut, and I found him in the middle of the moving process. After that I went to Sherbourne, talked with the nurse, and scheduled an appointment with my family doctor to find out what's really going on. Finally, I went home to rest.

Friday was the day Mx was coming out of PMRI, so I went to his place after work to take care of him. We chilled out a bit before we had to leave for his return blood draw. We took the TTC, and we made it just in time. After that, we both went to my place to sleep and get ready for the next day: the moving day.

Saturday we woke up early for yet another return blood draw. After leaving PMRI, we went to Yonge and Eglinton to try to pay something at Wind. The store was still closed, so as we were planning to go somewhere else, my new landlord called me asking to go get the keys with him. We did, and Mx approved my choice for my new place =] We took the bus to his place after, so that we could see Janis and use his help to move all my stuff. There wasn't enough space on his car for 3 seats when it's on "moving mode", so I had to go by subway while they took the highway. They dropped a couch that Mx gave me as a gift (^^) at my new place, then they joined me at my old place, where I was getting things ready to move. I don't have a lot of stuff, but it was still a big hassle to get everything ready. I left behind an old table on top of which I used to put my old computer, so I hope someone finds some use for it. Once more I took the subway while they took the highway, but still I got there before them - Caribana weekend made the traffic nearly chaotic. We started unpacking stuff when they got there, and we left many things for later, as we needed to go to Ikea to buy some new things. Mx enjoys this "process" very much, so it was fun to buy nice little things for my new place. I spent almost all I could on my credit card, and we still had some things to buy. We stopped at Canadian Tire before going home, and then at Food Basics. I'm very glad I could use the help of Mx and Janis that day, because otherwise it would be impossible to do everything in one day. Mx made me organize most of my stuff before we could rest, but it was totally worth it - when we finished, my new placed seemed so amazing that we both fainted as we went to bed.

Sunday is the only day of the week that I am allowed to use the laundry machines, so I had to wash all of my stuff on my first day at my new place. The smell of my old place was impregnated on my clothes, so I really had to wash everything. It took me the whole morning, and part of the afternoon to do that, but I finally completed everything as Mx was coming back from the gym. He noticed that I was getting sick, so he started taking care of me to make me feel better.

Monday was the civic holiday, so I could stay home to recover from my illness. Mx took care of everything, so all I needed to do that day was take all my old clothes that I cannot use anymore (according to Mx standards =P) and dropped them into a donation box. We got back home, and after chilling out watching cable TV and funny websites, we went to bed.

Tuesday I was still sick, so I called in sick at work and stayed home recovering. At one point I went to Food Basics with Mx to buy some groceries and lots of herbs and medicine to help us heal (because obviously he got sick too), and then we went home to cook and eat. In the evening we went for a quick run around my neighbourhood, and once we got home we took a bath and went to bed.

Wednesday I finally went to work, even though I wasn't yet 100%. For the first time I could have lunch at home, so that's what I did. I ate the leftovers from one of the lunches I cooked with Mx, and I took some pills to make me feel better. Now I'm back at the office editing this post, and I assume that later today I'll just go to Service Ontario to drop my OHIP application, and then watch Inception at the Rainbow Cinema with Mx. =]

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's in his new place =]

Saturday we had a veeery lazy morning. =] I hadn't rested well enough for over 2 weeks, so I needed that time to be in bed with something warm beside me. When we finally left my place, it was raining a little bit. We took the streetcar to Chinatown and walked up Spadina looking for t-shirts. We ended up buying at the same place we had gone the week before =P After shopping, we took the TTC to North York, and since it took us forever to get there, we gave up going to Goodlife Fitness. While we were at Mx's place, his sister had the idea of going to watch a movie, so they invited me to come with them to Colossus. I suggested watching The Last Airbender since Beatrise wouldn't understand much of Inception, and that's what we settled for. Janis drove us there in his car, and it was a good idea to leave early because the constructions on the highways are driving this city crazy. We got to the cinema on time, and luckily Mx had enough points on his Scene card to buy us 2 free tickets =] I bought pop and popcorn, and we all watched the movie. They didn't like it, but I did - I hope Shyamalan gets enough money to make the next sequels. The movie ended almost after midnight, so once we were back at Mx's place, I ended up sleeping there (isn't that a big change?)

Sunday we had planned to go to Niagara Falls, since it rained the whole Saturday. We got up early in the morning, and after we were all ready, we left. Mx's family is really nice, and although they talk very little English, I managed to interact with them sometimes. In Niagara Falls Mx and I didn't do much of the touristy stuff, as opposed to his family. Instead, we just walked around the area, found some residential neighbourhoods, and stopped at a place to eat some pancakes (uiuiui, bad idea). When we got back together with Diana, Janis, and the kids, we went to No Frills to buy some stuff and have a picnic at Niagara Parks. It was a very fun afternoon, but I had a damn toothache that spoiled it a little bit. In the evening we drove back to Toronto, and after making a pit stop at Mx's place, we took the TTC to my place.

Monday I went to work, and on my lunch break I walked to the Goodlife Fitness on Steeles and VicPark. As I imagined, they lied to me about the pool there - it is not only smaller than the hole they have at Finch and Dufferin, but it is also smaller than any hole you can make: it's inexistent. I went back to work under the melting-hot sun, and I ended up getting off early. I took the TTC to Mx's place, and mister lazy boy was working out at his old gym when I got there. I had to wait for him, and once we got together, we gave up going to Goodlife Fitness for good. We went to Yummy Market and bought some delicious stuff to eat at a little park next to his house. We played on the swings and crashed some hazelnuts before going back to his place. From there, I drank a lychee lemonade as we walked out so that he could drop me off at Downview. Once I got home, I just went to bed.

Tuesday after work I went downtown to help Mx on his appointment with Kathy. We stayed at her office for more than 2h, but fortunately everything went fine and things will start working from now on. After that we went to Second Cup to buy some delicious chillers, then we walked around Kensington Market a little bit. We decided to go to Queen West to try to buy some clothes, but the stores were already closing by the time we got there. We then went to Sushi Xtra to eat dinner, and then we took the streetcar to my place. After stopping at the convenience store to buy some groceries, we went home and rested well.

Soooo, my friend, the news are...

Tuesday I went to Express after work to see some of the people I haven't seen in a while. I had a tough conversation with Zulema after the check-in because she's really vulnerable lately. After the meeting I met Mx around the Allen Gardens, and we decided to walk on Church St a little bit. We went up and down, then we stopped at Carlton St to take the streetcar. We managed to get to No Frills on time, so we bought some groceries to be able to cook dinner. We went home, cooked, ate, and went to bed. =]

Wednesday I wanted to watch a movie, so I went to Food Basics after work to buy a cheesecake, then I met Mx at Finch station and we went downtown to King station. We got free vouchers for the Rainbow Cinema, so we traded them for tickets to see Despicable Me. Good movie, but not really that funny. We went back home via streetcar later, and after some delicious pieces of cheesecake, we slept.

Thursday was the day to meet the other YAY mentors to talk about the camping trip. I managed to get there on time, so I socialized with Darren and Nate. We played the "who am I?" game, and I was tagged with Michelle Obama's card. It didn't take me too long to figure it out, though =P After the meeting we all went to Absolut Comedy (for free, obviously), and I had a few hours of mental torture. Well, ok, some of the comedians were good, but most of the time I was wondering what the hell I was doing in the middle of that damn crowd. I was relieved when it was over, but holy cow, it was already 10pm. By the time I got home, it was almost midnight, so I rushed under the covers and started dreaming.

Friday came quickly, and as I had planned, I met Mx after work and we went to Yorkdale Mall. We shopped around for swimming suits, and we ended up buying semi-speedos at The Bay/Bikini Village. We were eager to try them out, so we went to Goodlife Fitness, got a 3-day free pass, and used their pool and sauna. The pool was microscopic, so I wasn't really happy with the idea of getting a real membership with them. I decided to double check the one close to my workplace before I made any decision, so I took note of going there next week. Mx and I quickly stopped at his place to get some stuff, and then we went to my place to eat some cheesecake and more =]

And that finishes the post. It's finally getting back to normal now, and my life-log won't look too messy from now on (at least for a while =P)

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who found it in the fridge.

So on Wednesday I woke up and went to work, which went as usual. After that I met Mx at Finch station and we walked around the area to go to the library at North York Centre. I gathered some documents and filled some forms to send to my new potential landlord, and with my fingers crossed, I finished the application. Once that was out of the way, we went home, cooked dinner, and then went to bed. =]

Thursday I worked, then went to meet Joe (new potential landlord) in person again. We ended up actually signing all the paperwork and getting everything set for my moving in at the end of the month. I'm so glad I got that place! I rushed to Finch station after that to see Mx and celebrate with him. We walked on Finch Ave eating cereal bars and drinking gatorade all the way to Bathurst. From there we took the bus to Dufferin, and while he went to gym, I went home to relax and get some rest.

Friday I worked only until 4pm once more, since I had to go to BPSI. My boss offered me a ride to Yonge and Steeles, and from there I took the 60 bus. Mx joined me on the way, and we set off to the clinic. We stayed there the whole Saturday, and when we came out on Sunday morning, we had our paycheques with us =] We deposited them in our banks right away, and then went to Cora to have a normal breakfast. I took him home afterwards, and on my way to Downsview station I chatted a little bit with Sabine, who took the bus with me. Once I got home, I cleaned the place, did some laundry, and washed the dishes while Mx finished his usual individual stuff. When I met him again, we bought a new metropass for him, then we went to High Park to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. We found a baby squirrel and tried to feed him, but he was too stupid >.> We decided to walk on Roncesvalles on our way back, and we even went to the waterfront in Parkdale before going back home. The evening was spent with an interesting movie, and then good old bedtime.

Monday I started my work routine again, and I planned to go to Goodlife Fitness with Mx to sort everything out for our memberships, but that didn't work =[ So, I just went home to play some games and eat some cookies before going to bed.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who craves you.

Thursday I went to work, ate my Italian salad for lunch, then went home (lol). Friday once again I worked, and this time I took the rest of the cheesecake I had to eat as dessert. I got permission from my boss to leave early (around 4pm), so I took the TTC at that time to meet Mx at Steeles and Dufferin. From there we got on the bus to go all the way to Weston Rd again, and we almost didn't make it in time to BPSI. We spent most of the weekend inside the clinic, getting out on Sunday morning. We started the day going to Superstore to buy some fruits and vegetables, then we stopped at Highland Farms to buy some other stuff. Mx's family wasn't at home, so we went there to have breakfast and chill out. After taking a shower we went downtown, where we bought some t-shirts on Chinatown, and then we went home. We cooked some delicious lunch, and while we were digesting it Zulema called me to ask about going to meditation. I decided to go with her, and it felt really good to go back after so long. My little Mx stayed at home, doing my laundry for me =] When I came back, everything was perfect. I thanked Mx the best I could, then we went to sleep.

Monday I went back to work, and the day wasn't very busy once again. I didn't have much to do at home when I went back, so I played some games on my computer until I wanted to sleep. Tuesday after work I gave up Express to meet Mx and go chill out for a bit, but our moods weren't very compatible that day. I was worried about money and could not be as light-headed as he wanted me to be. We went downtown, where I deposited a cheque at RBC and bought some stuff at No Frills, but when we went home the drama just went on and on. I decided to take a shower to try to change my mood, but when I finished I noticed that he wasn't in the apartment anymore. I took the ring out of my finger and went to bed. Later in the night he sent me a text, and after we talked a bit, everything was ok and there were no hard feelings. Thank God.

SeeYa,

Almost done, almost done.

Tuesday I stayed at home chilling out with Mx for some time.In the afternoon he went home while I met my mom and sis at King and Spadina to go shopping again. They bought lots of souvenirs, some clothes, and lots of eletronics to take home. We had a little problem with my sister's visa, which made us wonder if the rest of their trip would be compromised, but fortunately it wasn't. At the end of the day I just took them back home and took the TTC back to my place. I was on the streetcar on King St when the driver suddenly crashes his vehicle into a black truck that came out of nowhere on an intersection. Nobody got hurt, but everyone was in shock. In some state of numbness, I got off the streetcar, walked to Queen St, and took that route home.

Wednesday I woke up really early to make it to my appointment at BPSI. I met Mx at Finch and Dufferin, then we walked to Steeles to take the bus to Weston Rd. We had our screening appointment, and I almost got sent home for not having 60kg (I was 700g under that). They let me register anyway as I promised to gain weight =P After that Mx went to the gym while I went to have lunch with Minoo. We chose this nice sushi place next to York U, and the food was good, although the service was terrible. Minoo gave me a cute card with the t-shirt she designed for me long ago as a graduation gift =] We chatted for a bit, and she decided to give me a hand with my little financial problem. We went to Seneca, and after saying goodbye to her, I rushed to the RBC on Steeles and Dufferin to deposit the amount I needed to have before the end of the day. Mx called right after that, and I met him coming out of the gym. We took the TTC to my mom's place, where we helped her and my sis set up the pcs they had gotten in the afternoon. Then we left to go to No Frills before it closed, and we bought groceries to cook and eat.

Thursday I had a long morning at home again, and then I went to my mom's when Mx went home. I spent some time there until we all decided to go to the CN Tower. We didn't think that it would be crowded during Canada Day though, and once I heard the waiting could take 2h I had to give up the idea. My sis got pissed off and turned into a bad mood, so she didn't enjoy the walk I had with my mom towards the City Hall. After taking some pictures I sent them home and went to the village to chat with Rauf. Pride week was starting to get interesting, so we stayed at the 519 stage for a while hanging out with Richard and Lilian. Mx then called me saying he was coming downtown, so I met him at St George station, where we started a promenade to Christie Pits Park. Once there, we got tired and decided to take the subway home.

Friday was another game day. We got up and put our Brazilian shirts on to go watch the game at Jane's bus. The Netherlands eliminated us, however, so we changed our shirts and decided to go shopping with my mom and sis. We took the Dufferin bus to Orfus Rd, and we bought thousands of perfumes there (including one for me =]). Mx went home, and I continued the shopping journey with my mom and sis back downtown, in Chinatown. I took them to Bhuda's because we were hungry, and once more they didn't like my food =/ After lunch, they bought more stuff and I went to Jane's place to get my things back when they went home. I went to my place to do some laundry, and then I met Mx again to chill out in the evening. We once again went to Jane's to see my mom and sis, but since they were busy cooking coxinhas, we went to Metro and bought some danishes to eat. After that, we had nothing left to do, so we went home.

Saturday I planned to go to the island with my mom and sis, but Mx realized he didn't have good clothes to wear on Sunday (and he wanted to look good for the parade, lol). We spent some hours shopping around Queen West and the Eaton Centre until we finally bought some clothes at H&M. Then we went to harbourfront to go to the island, but my mom and sis were already coming back. We then decided to spend the rest of the evening at Church St, so that's what we did. We found this nice bar with good music and beautiful people, so we stayed outside of its patio, together with other cool people. When we realized we didn't have our camera with us, we decided to go get it from my mom before we went home. We did so, and then we finally crashed at my place =]

Sunday was the big day of the pride parade =] We got ready at home and took the subway to College station. We had a hard time finding a good spot, so we ended up moving a lot during the parade. We reached Bloor and Church precisely when the parade ended, so we went down to the village at that point. We met Zulema, Lilian, and David, and we took some pictures with them. Mx's family was supposed to be there too, but for some reason they went all the way to Church and King to eat something. We went there to see them, and I was finally introduced to everyone. Sabine decided to join us when we went back to the village, and so we spent the rest of the day enjoying pride. In the evening Mx went home to drop Sabine while I went home to get a suitcase for my sis. I met Mx again on my way back, and we went home to rest a bit.

Monday was my first day at work =] I got ready and Mx went with me to King station to meet my sister there. He went to help her buy some last stuff before she went back, and I went to work. We didn't have much to do at the office, so we basically only opened the boxes with our monitors (the rest of the computers had not arrived yet) and bonded with one another. At lunch time we realized there was nothing nearby to go to, so we carpooled to a little mall at Woodbine and Steeles. I got some take-out at a Chinese place and got back with Kelvin's ride. We ended up having an early day since we had nothing to do, so I went to Mx's place before going downtown. I changed and started using my new phone (Nokia finally =D), as I took the subway home. A little delay made us change our plans for the night, so by the time I got to my mom's place, we had to take a taxi to the airport. The taxi driver was a moron (as usual), so my reluctance to taking cabs has increased once more. My mom's flight was very delayed, so we were in the airport much longer than we planned to. When they finally took off, we took the TTC back home and went to bed.

Tuesday was another day of work, and waking up with my boyfriend beside me made me feel extremely happy. I left a little early, and ended up finding a route that takes me to work much faster. Once I got to the office, we had some lessons until our computers arrived, which made us interrupt everything and go set them up. We spent the rest of the day installing softwares, and after 5pm I left straight to Express. We had a cool meeting, and after that we decided to go to Adam & Eve to spend our last moments with Lilian. It's going to be so weird without her here =[ But I'm sure she's not going away from my life completely, as what she built here was too strong to fade away so easily. I kissed her goodbye at Church and Carlton, and took the TTC back home.

Wednesday I was again in a very good mood, so I cooked my lunch and breakfast singing Oh Happy Days. I went to work as if I was in the prologue of a happy movie, and I had another easy day at the office. After my shift I met Mx in the neighbourhood to check some apartments, but we weren't very lucky. We ended up getting a magazine and calling lots of places, but only one of them was at least 33% interesting. I booked a viewing for that place, and then we went to Food Basics to try to buy our good mood back (which is called Cheesecake). We bought some other stuff to make an Italian salad at home, and that's how our day ended.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, man arī.

15-day post?

I have no idea of what I did for some of the days included in this post (I'm editing this like a month late). Anyway, I'll blog about what I remember...

Monday I probably spent quality time with Mx, then on Tuesday we watched the first Brazilian game on the World Cup. We won, of course, but the fact that I chose such a bad place to watch the game pissed me off a little bit. On Wednesday we might have spent more good time together, then on Thursday I met Zulema right after work to watch the second Mexican game. We went to the Football Factory again, but they wanted to force us to consume, so we went to a different place on the second half. We found this pizza place on Queen St, and that's where we celebrated Mexico's victory over France. After that I solved some stuff at YES, then went home =] Friday is another mystery for now, but probably nothing spectacular happened that day.

Saturday was my last day at Ontario Place (finally), so after ending my shift, I handed over my staff pass and my name tag. I was going to set up my kitchen table with Kevin in the evening, but I had to change my plans. I got the tools with him to do it by myself later, and I quickly went home to shower and change. I cashed some money before going to Rauf's to hang out with him, and we decided to go eat Sushi on Yorkville. We ate the over-priced rice-with-vegetables rolls, and then we parted since Rauf was going to spend time with his Scottish friend. I then took the subway to Lilian's place, where we had a little birthday party for her. David, Eli and his husband, Natalia and her boyfriend and a friend of Natalia were in this little reunion (not to mention Zulema, obviously). We had some fun with random conversation, and all of a sudden we decided to go for karaoke. We walked to Bloor St and got a little room at one of the karaoke places there. We sang terrible songs for more than 2 hours, and by the time we left it was so late that even the night buses were taking forever to come. It took me a looooong time to get home, but once I did, I crashed.

Sunday I did some house chores in the morning, and then went to the store to buy juice and olives so I could take with me to Nate's Place. We planned to watch the second Brazilian game together, so I took the streetcar and met Zulema on the way before stopping at Riverdale Park. We watched the game, which wasn't very entertaining, and after that Aamer dropped by to hang out with us. I had to leave to meet Mx, and we walked around that area enjoying the weather. After a nice promenade we went to No Frills on Parliament St to buy some groceries, and then we went home to cook, eat, and sleep. Monday we spent more time together, and the only thing I remember is that I went to Lansdowne station in the morning to buy my mom and sis' weekly passes.

Tuesday I woke up really early to go get the girls at the airport, and I had no luck with TTC's blue night lines. I took the Queen streetcar to Roncesvales, and from there I had to walk all the way to Bloor. There I got the 300 bus, that didn't go all the way to the airport since Kipling station was already open. I had to transfer to the 192 and after getting off at the wrong terminal and taking the airport train, I finally found my mom and sis. They obviously complained that I am too skinny, but I tried not to be bothered. We took the TTC to my place to drop their luggage there and then we went to Rita's place to talk to them and have some coffee. We visited Jane for a little bit, and then I took my mom and sis to Dufferin Mall to try to unlock their 3G phone. It didn't work, so we went out to eat some Ethiopian food at Lalibela. After that we went to Yonge and Bloor to visit the Wind store, and my sister ended up buying a Nokia to be able to call me all the time. We went back to my place to get the luggage, and we took a taxi to Stephen's since the streets were all wet from the rain. I dropped my mom and sis there, wishing them good luck on trying to communicate with their roomie, and then went back home.

Wednesday I took my mom and sis to Orfus Road and Mx to PMRI (or at least close to PMRI). My mom and sis ended up not buying anything because they spent all their time trying to look for a restaurant that was not East Asian. From there we went to the SOY's Mentorship Program Bowling Night, where we had some fun. We walked on Danforth after that looking for a power plug adaptor, and we finally found it after 10 unsuccessful attempts. Then I took them home and went to my place. Thursday was my graduation day, so I woke up early and met my mom and sis at King Station. We took the TTC to Seneca, and quickly found the messy crowd. I got my weird looking gown, and observed the peculiar organization of the ceremony while waiting for it to start. I didn't know anyone there, except for some familiar East Asian faces that I had seen before. The speeches from Seneca's president and his fellows were interesting at first, but boring for the rest of the day. My sister tried to take pictures with my camera, but the lighting of the room wasn't helping much. We had a little reception after the handing out of the fake diplomas, and I saw David there eating from our food. After staying for a while, we went to the computers to solve some stuff, then we went back downtown to go home.

Friday was the day of the big game... Brazil and Portugal, which would drive the College/Ossington neighbourhood crazy. I woke up and went to my mom's place to pick her and my sis up. We took the TTC to Jane's place, and a little delay on the streetcar made us miss the first minutes of the game. The TV bored the hell out of us since the game ended on 0-0, but even still people from the area decided to party out loud and jam the streets. It took me a long time to get to Yorkdale from there, where I had planned to meet Mx. We ate Teriyaki at the food court and walked around looking for some t-shirts for Mx. After having no success, we sat down to check something on my computer, and while I looked for a Food Basics in the area to buy cheesecake, Mx walked around suspiciously hiding something from me. We left the mall to go to Superstore try to find our so-craved dessert, and from there we went to Highland Farms for the same purpose. We finally bought a small cheesecake and some Kefir, then we went to the G.Ross Park to eat them. While we appreciated the kefir, Mx revealed his secret plan from the mall - he bought me a very nice watch as a graduation gift. We chilled out finishing our delicious treats, and then I had to go back downtown to take my mom and sis home and then go to my place to rest.

Saturday after meeting my mom and sis in the morning we decided to go to the Eaton Centre. My sis wanted to buy a dress to wear on that night for the dinner I had planned at King's Cafe. The dinner was supposed to be on Friday, but due to Minoo's change of plans and Mx's vampire appointment, I decided to make it on Saturday. We went to Sears and my mom and sis spent hours looking for shoes and shades. They bought some, then we stopped at Second Cup to get some drinks before going to The Bay to continue the search. They bought even more shoes, and then we decided to go to H&M to finally buy my sister's dress. We were happy shopping, and my mom and sis were even trying their clothes when we heard an announcement telling us to go to the basement. We all went there, and we were told the Eaton Centre was entering a lock-down procedure due to G20 protests on Dundas Square. Apparently some protesters were going up Yonge street smashing windows and trash cans on their way. We stayed at H&M for quite some time, being treated with granola bars and fruit juices. We decided to leave at some point because we were getting tired. We had to sing some forms, and then we exited to Dundas St, where obviously there was no TTC service. We walked to Dundas and Church, where we ate at Pizza Hut, and then took a cab to my mom's place. We chilled out there, and when I thought it was ok to go home, I left. I knew the streetcar would probably not come its usual way, so I walked to Yonge and King. From there, I saw a crowd protesting at Bay St, so I diverted to Queensquay to avoid the security zone. I walked all the way to Spadina without seeing any sign of TTC service, and then I finally saw some streetcars (obviously not in service). I made a joke to the rider of one car that said King and Roncesvales saying I wished he could take me there, and he ended up telling me to jump on his car =P The nice man took me all the way there since he had no idea of what to do anyway. When I got home, I was so tired I could only think about sleeping.

Sunday I left home without having breakfast because my sis was rushing me. I met her and my mom at their place, and then we took the Parliament Bus to Johnny G so that I could have some brunch. After eating there, we took the TTC to the beaches, where I spent the afternoon taking pictures with my mom and sis. Once we were done with that, we went back downtown and I chilled out with them for a bit before going home. I had to take an alternative route to avoid the problems I had on Saturday, so it took me a long time to get home. Then on Monday my sis rushed me out of bed again, and once I met her and my mom we went to Ginger to have lunch. We then stopped at No Frills to buy some stuff to take to Jane's, and we finally took the TTC to go watch the game against Chile. Brazil won, which qualified us to the quarter-finals, so we went to the streets to celebrate. Mx joined us there, and he finally met my mom and sis. From there we went to Chinatown so that my mom and sis could buy some souvenirs, and they got approximately 5.673 t-shirts with them. Mx and I helped them carry them home, and after that we went to my place to rest.

It's very stubborn of me to try to keep my traditions even under impossible circumstances. I'll flex the routine, but I won't change them... At least not yet.

Wednesday I went to work, but it was raining a little bit and the park was really empty. I asked to be sent home, and they didn't have a hard time letting me go. Before I did, they told me off for not showing up for work on Tuesday, but that wasn't that much of a big deal. I gave them notice that I was going to quit, then I went home to nap a little bit. Later on I went to Downsview station and I waited for Mx to meet me there so I could bring him downtown.

Thursday we had breakfast together and then we went to the library to check some stuff. I had to go to RBC after that to check what I can do about my account and credit card that will not be free very soon, and all they could do was schedule an appointment for me to go back. Mx and I then walked a little bit, and we parted around St Andrew station, where he went home and I went to Stephen's place to confirm the technicalities of him hosting my mom. After that I called Rauf and decided to see him for a couple of minutes before I had to meet Kevin and chatter with him. The couple of minutes were literally 2 minutes because Kevin called me as soon as I reached Rauf's door. I was a bit hungry, so I suggested going to the Vegetarian Indian restaurant located near Yonge and Bloor. Kevin was fine with that, so we went there and had an amazing meal (but obviously too hot). Then finally I went home to rest.
Friday I went to the library right after waking up. I solved some stuff online and then went back home to get ready to meet Lilian and Zulema. We planned to watch the opening game of the World Cup together, and we did so at a place called Football Factory or something... We cheered for Mexico, but it didn't work - the game ended in a draw. I had to stop by the YES office to print, scan, and send some stuff related to my new job, and after that I went home to eat my Indian food leftovers from yesterday. I went to my bank appointment in the afternoon, and fortunately I found an option that is not going to cost me too much money. After dealing with RBC, I went to my old place to check the mailbox, but there was nothing there for me. I then went to HSBC to change my address on their file, and went back to Dupont station to meet Mx. We wanted to eat cheesecake, so he suggested we went to a Food Basics. We did, but we didn't find the cheesecake we wanted =[ We played the lottery (after some disagreements) and then went home to get ready for the Youth Line Award Dinner. The dinner was interesting, but now that I am vegetarian it wasn't so easy to enjoy the food. The servers were confused on what to serve us, and this lady kept telling us that everything she was bringing were vegetables, vegetables, vegetables. At least I didn't go home hungry...

Saturday we had a quick breakfast and got ready to go to Anthony's place to get a ride to YAY's picnic. We picked Beatrise up at Mx's place, and we all went to the same park we went last year. It wasn't as much fun because it was raining, but we still enjoyed the day a little bit. Linda gave us a ride to Mx's place, and from there I took the TTC home.

Sunday I needed to do lots of things online, but the damn public library only opens at 1:30pm. I tried 3 different branches before I realized that was their standard schedule. I ended up going to Starbucks to do my stuff, and after that I went home to change and go to work. Mx met me at Exhbition Place after my shift, and we walked to my place, enjoying the nice weather.

I'm not creative today. Routine post.

Friday I woke up and took Mx to Downsview station so that he could go to work. After that I came back home and just napped for a long time since I didn't feel like doing anything else. Later that day I went to meet Patrick to get the mail box keys with him because I thought I would have some important mail at my old place. Big mistake, there was nothing for me there - I just wasted my time =[ I then went to see Rauf for a while, and we chatted on our way to the Wrong Bar. He went to Big Primpin, but I went home.

Saturday I had to work, and for the first time I had an 8h shift =/ Standing for that long is not funny. Luckily, I survived, and as I was leaving I noticed that a soccer game had just finished at the BMO field. The crowds were making the traffic extra slow, and to top it up, the Dufferin bus didn't come. I took the Bathurst streetcar then, and since I had to transfer anyway, I decided to stop at Fresh to eat something instead of starving. After that I went home, did nothing for a while, and then Zulema and Lilian stopped by to visit my new place. We chatted for some time, and then the girls went home.

Sunday I promised to go up north in the morning, so I did. When I got to Finch and Dufferin, however, Mx wasn't answering the phone. I waited for a while and, as it turned out, the lazy boy had slept in and almost forgot about work. We met on the bus stop and we went to York U so he could take his bus to work. I then came back downtown and stopped at the public library to do some stuff before going home to rest. Later in the evening, I went up north again to walk for a while with Mx and then kiss him goodnight.

Monday I worked again, but only for 4h. After my shift I stopped by at YES to print and scan some documents for my new job. By the time I finished I was very hungry, so I ended up eating nasty food at Pizza Pizza. I then went home to rest once more, and later on I was on my way to Downsview again. There I met Mx, we came downtown and watched the beginning of a Russian movie that he likes. We were extremely tired, so we couldn't finish it =[

Tuesday started really awkwardly, but fortunately things didn't get very bad later. We had breakfast and I bought some fruits to make a fruit salad. In the afternoon I took Mx to the streetcar stop and went to the library to do some stuff and edit my blog. After that I went to my old place to check the mail again (and guess what - nothing there) before going to Express. We had our meeting as usual, and later Zulema, Lilian and I went out for a coffee at Second Cup. When it was late enough to go, we parted and left.

Maybe this is depression again, but I need something better than criticism about my mental elderliness. I wish he was sweet more often.

SeeYa,
Feliploko. Felipushka.

Summary of the week again =]

Friday I took the day to solve some things that I couldn't solve while I was at Pharma; just some emails and phone calls. Then I did nothing on my computer until Mx called me and we decided to meet at Martin Grove. I went all the way there just to realize the Viva bus doesn't come after midnight. I had to divert my route to Finch, and once there I managed to convince Mx to come home with me. We ate, chatted, and slept.

Saturday we woke up sometime in the morning, and after showering we decided to have breakfast. I realized way too late that I didn't have a frying pan, so we couldn't make an omelette with the eggs we had bought. We left to Downsview station when Mx needed to go to work, and after putting him on the Viva bus I came back downtown with my eggs. I went to Rauf's place, boiled the eggs, and ate them while watching Eurovision. Germany won, which wasn't very fun, but it was still nice to watch the contest. Rich paid us a quick visit that night, and then I went home when Rauf decided to go out.

Sunday I had to go to work, but I didn't want to stay there until the park closed. I asked my supervisor to leave early, and he let me =] After my shift I walked to my new place to get my keys with my neighbour, and then I texted Kevin to meet him so I could move some stuff that night. I ended up moving everything then, since Mary and Reg were at my old place with the van. It took me some time to clean, move, and rearrange things, but finally I was at my new place.

Monday I woke up in Parkdale for the first time. I went out for breakfast, and I found this place with affordable croissants. After eating there, I took the streetcar and the subway to meet Mx at Yorkdale Mall. We walked around trying to find shoes for my interview, and we were about to get a nice pair at Sears when we found out that (1) the shoes were not on sale and (2) my interview was postponed. We decided not to buy the shoes, but only new pants and shirt instead. After then we walked around Dufferin street trying to find fruits, but we had no luck; Mx had to go to work with cookies instead, so I went all the way to Martin Grove to show him some compassion. When I came back downtown I tried to arrange my mail forwarding at Canada Post, but some lack of professionalism caused me to run around for 3h without results. In the evening I met Kevin to get the fan he was giving to me and drink some frozen hot chocolate. We chatted for a while, and then I had to leave to get ready to go all the way up north again. Once more I went to Brampton, and once more I carried Mx downtown to be with me for the night.

Tuesday we could finally sleep in. When we were tired of staying in the apartment we left to solve some stuff. First thing we tried was to send some money through Scotiabank - no success. Then we went to RBC to get some cash advance, and since Mx gave up going to the gym by then, we went to Bloor and Spadina to eat some sushi. We ate all we could, and then he left to go home while I left to go to Express. We had an interesting meeting, full of new people, and for the first time in ages we had more girls than guys there. We went for a coffee around St Lawrence Market after the meeting, and once we were done there, I came home.

Wednesday I had to go to the library first thing in the morning, since I had no internet at my place. I did many things I needed to do online, and then I met Mx around St Andrews station. We tried to go to a Russian church on College and University, but it was closed =[ We then went to Scotiabank again, finally managed to send some money overseas, and then we headed to Spring Rolls to have something to eat. After filling our tummies, we went to Eaton Centre to continue the journey of finding me shoes. We went to many stores and bought lots of stuff, but we only found good shoes after a loooong search. I was glad I bought everything else, though, because once I went back home with everything, my new place seemed more complete. We quickly visited the library once more, and then went to No Frills to buy some groceries. We cooked dinner, watched a movie, and then finally went to bed.

Thursday was the day of my so anticipated interview. I realized that I was late when I left my place, so the first thing I did was to grab a taxi. I dropped Mx off at Yorkdale mall, and went all the way to Finch and Victoria Park (something that costed me almost $60). Everything was ok, though, because my interview was great and one of the guys told me it was very likely I would be one of the chosen candidates. I then went to Mx's place, where I changed clothes and had some tea. We set off to Ikea, and bought some of the last things I needed for my new place. On our way back, I stopped at Seneca to finish some online business while Mx supposedly went to the gym. He had to go to a school event instead, and once he was done, he called me back. He got really angry when I didn't answer him, but how could I? I was on the phone with my new boss telling me I got the job ^^ After arranging everything and getting Mx to calm down, we met again and came downtown to be together and celebrate.

This was an intense summary. I hope it's ok o.o

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who hhhhhhhhhhates being without internet

You wanna teach me something new?

Yes, there has been a long time that I don't post, and it's greedy of me to talk about all of the days I was absent. I must say, though, that these same days have been so intense that I can't neglect them! So, in order to remember things better, I will start in reverse order (although the final result will look chronological anyway =P)

Thursday was my last day in Ottawa. Again, I slept in as long as I could, enjoying my time in bed. We started playing around 11am, and when I went to take a shower something very funny happened. I was very stupid to insist on something when it wasn't the right time, and I thought about using some shower gel inappropriately. The result was a quick fainting that I will probably never forget.

I had breakfast after that incident: omelette and grapefruit. Then we went back to bed and kept playing around, laughing at what had just happened. We finished what we had to finish, and after some time and another shower, we started getting ready to leave. It wasn't until 3pm that we left, though, and obviously we were running late. The bus we needed to take took forever, and only came after 1,537 school buses that looked like public transit buses (which I stopped to ask - in French - if they went downtown Ottawa). We even had to transfer at a weird location, and on our way we got a text from our rideshare asking where we were. He was kind enough to wait for us, even though it was the same guy that I had ditched the Tuesday before when I was leaving to Ottawa. We got off the bus in front of the Parliament building, and rushed to St Catherine's along Bank street. When we finally got to the greyhound station, we were already 40min late.

Luckily this Vinny guy was a nice person, and we had a good time on our way back. We made two stops, one of them at Superstore around 1,000 Islands where we bought vegetables and nuts to snack. Vinny was racing so much that we got in Toronto around 8:30 (almost 4h of traveling). He dropped us at Yorkdale station, and I took the subway home. When I got here, Patrick and Mary were moving some stuff. They took some time to finish everything, and when they did, I started downloading movies and watching Eurovision. Lithuania didn't make it to the finals, Azerbaijan did (surprisingly), and I'm definitely cheering for Romania now =] And that's it.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's starting again

Happy Birrrrrthday

Ok, without internet access it is very hard to keep my blog up to date =[ I am editing this post from Seneca, and I will make it shorter than it could've been. At least the main points will be saved =]

Thursday I woke up with the alarm on my phone telling me I forgot about the meeting at Access Alliance. I took a quick shower and had half-breakfast before rushing to the subway. Coincidentally, Helen Luu was right there at St George station when I got on the train. We talked all the way to Victoria Park, and then we had our meeting when we got to the office. I'm not sure if I'll actually do this United Way Speaker's Bureau, but I keep the possibility open. After the meeting I went downtown to buy a present for Rauf. At the Biggest Bookstore, I found an interesting book about enneagram to give to Rauf, and then I had to go home to drop some stuff and get some other stuff before I met Mx. When I finally found my cutie at the Eaton Centre, we went to Sears to buy the khaki pants I needed, and then we went to The Bay to buy sunglasses. After this little shopping, we decided to go eat at Bhuda's, so we walked to Dundas and Augusta in the boiling hot weather. The food was great as usual, and after eating we had to part and leave: Mx had to meet this guy I don't like, and I had to go meet Rauf since it was his birthday. I gave him the book, and we went out to Golden Griddle so he could eat something. We had ice cream for dessert, then we went to H&M and The Bay so that Rauf could buy himself some more presents =P Rich joined us along the way, and later on Sergey did the same. We went to Woodies to see some queers, but we left early since it was a Thursday night. Then home, bed.

Friday I had an appointment with Suhail to keep working on Mx's Legal Aid issue. I went to SOY, and Mr. Settlement Worker helped me get everything in order. I went to the Eaton Centre (again) to buy Mx's gifts (sandals and pijamas), and then I stopped at Starbucks to send some emails. Around 1pm I took the subway all the way to Don Mills station and changed my clothes to be more presentable for my job interview that day. Obviously I didn't have good shoes, so I wore my converse. After taking the Victoria Park bus and walking a little bit, I was still early for my appointment. My interviewers let me in early anyway, and all went fine. They both loved me, and they were really looking forward to letting me go to the next stage of the hiring process. It was just awkward at the end to have to talk about my snickers. I blamed it on the fact that I'm a newcomer and I couldn't yet afford good shoes =P I wish I could talk nicely about how I don't like these formalities without losing the chance to get the job. After all this jazz I went home to rest a little bit, then I went to Frangipane and Shoppers to buy a pseudo-cake and candles. I waited until Mx called me saying he was done with work, then I went to Finch station to meet him and celebrate his birthday with him =] We couldn't be together much longer, so we just parted and left at the end of the day.

Saturday was my very first day at Ontario Place. I wasn't really sure about what to do, but luckily my coworker was nice enough to tell me everything I needed to know. It was a rainy day, so not many people were at the park. Plus, only a couple customers decided to play the game I was responsible for. As a result, they closed my game earlier and sent me home =P I called Rauf and he invited me to eat some corn at his place. The corn was gone when I arrived, so I had to eat my cookies instead. We decided to watch Shrek together in the evening, so while he did some house chores, I went home to change. I met him around Osgoode station later on, and we went to Scotiabank cinema. The movie was quite good, and I'm glad that they can still make me laugh with some interesting jokes. I had work the next day as well, so I had to say goodbye to Raufie after the movie. Once I got home, I went straight to bed.

Sunday I also worked, and this time it was sunny and beautiful. I was at the other game this time, and many more customers played it. I tried to keep myself entertained while tons of kids came by to see my duckies, but I was getting tired at the end of my shift. I finished work at 3pm, so I didn't have to take any break. I went home and waited for Rauf to call me, and many years later he called saying he was waiting me to call him instead. We met at his area, and then we walked around Rosedale and Forest Hill. We went to Metro to buy some groceries after that, and that's when Mx called me saying he was on his way to Finch station. I met him there, we bought things to eat on our way home, and then we chilled out at my empty place.

Monday I woke up feeling very well, and things just got better after a bath and a good breakfast. I decided to take Mx to North York, and I ended up taking him even further (all the way to Brampton). On my way back to Toronto I planned the rest of the day with Rauf, and I met him around his area again. We walked to the harbourfront and took the ferry to the island. We hung out together for a while, and wandered around looking for something interesting to look at. The interesting things were laying on a little beach there, but we didn't stay there for long. We came back downtown around 6pm, and I rushed home to change and send some emails. I promised Zulema to meet her around 7pm to go to the Java House, but interestingly all of us were late. The two of us plus Lilian and Lindsay went to Java House to have some dinner. The servers were extremely complicated, and we ended up not eating everything we wanted to. That turned out to be good, since Mx asked me to buy some sushi for him before he came downtown after work. I did so, then I went home to change one more time and go meet him at Downsview station. We then came back home, ate sushi, did laundry, and as I summarized before, ++++. =]

Oh my, there's much more to say still! x.x Tuesday we woke up, got ready to go to Ottawa and then left the apartment. I was already at the subway station when I realized I forgot my credit card in the pocket of my shorts at home. I decided to go without it anyway, just to have some taste of adventure =P We went to Osgoode station, and waited for our rideshare for some time. The guy came, and he was a really nice and almost good-looking white Canadian young man who drived really bad. We had a long and almost boring trip to Ottawa, but it was still sunny when we arrived. We walked around downtown appreciating the buildings and parks, and then we went to Metro to buy fruits to snack. When we were sitting down somewhere waiting for Marc to call, this drunk guy came to talk to us >.> I was avoiding him, but Mx seemed to enjoy the conversation. My cellphone was acting weird at that point, so I decided to go to Wind to find out what was going on. They said the network was down, so that was the reason why I couldn't get a hold of Marc yet. I used their phone to call him, and then he told me to wait for him around the Byward Market. I did so, and he came with his little blue Echo =] He took us to his place and went for a run while Mx and I settled down and unpacked. I watched Eurovision's first semi-final while Mx bonded with Marc (increasing their SimPoints), and then we watched some very bad episodes of Just for Laughs. We were quite tired for the trip, so it didn't take us long to want to go to bed.

Last day to edit, finally. Wednesday we slept in as much as we wanted, and then we had a good shower and some perfect breakfast. We left the house to go buy some stuff at Loblaws, and when we came back we prepared this cold soup that was very good for the colour it had (hot pink o.O). We sunbathed on Marc's porch for a while, then took a bath and went back to bed for some quality napping. Marc came back in the evening, and he took us for a ride in Gatineau Park while it was still light outisde. We stopped at many beautiful lookouts, took some pictures, and smashed lots of caterpillars on the process. At our very last stop, we decided to take the trail and walk through the woods. We managed to finish the course before the rain came, so we went downtown to try to get some ice cream. The store was already closed, and we couldn't find a parking spot to watch the festival of lights, but at least for me the day was already good enough. We went back to Marc's place and we were chilling out when this Japanese guy (Marc's friend) drop by to chat with him. We socialized for a little bit, but we were quite tired already, so we had to withdraw again and go to bed.

And finally this is the end of this post ^^


SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's very sadist.

Oh wait!

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's the one and only manager.

Did you have any visit since your last problem?

Image Placeholder

Oh noes! Nay me revisitou e se decepcionou com a mudança de idioma no meu blog. Sorry Nay, mas nova fase na vida é in English, então o blog também é =P De vez em quando eu posto em Português ainda, então talvez esses raros posts te satisfaçam.

So getting back to business, I felt much better these past days because of the end of he anxiety around my relationship. Sunday I met my mentor in the afternoon and we chatted and walked around my neighbourhood until it was time for us to go to meditation. They temporarily changed the room for their Sunday's sessions, but the energy and the food were still great =] We left there around 8pm, and I had to come back home to take care of some businesses.

The next day I did a lot of stuff. I woke up early to call Legal Aid and follow up on what's happening, only to find out our claim was rejected. I started contacting people to find a solution, and when I was on my way to their office at Yonge and Dundas, I got a call from Ray saying she was here at my place waiting for her Portuguese lessons. I rushed to get the form I went there for, and came back home to help my dear friend. It was tough to do it while solving the Legal Aid thing, but we made some progress. When she went home I checked the mail, and my tax return check had come. I took it right away to the bank and deposited it, as well as ordering a new check book. Once back home, I got ready to go to Pharma for my very last clinic period.

And my last clinic period wasn't very good. The damn nurses got my catheter wrong three times, so the last blood draws I had to do it with a needle =[ Now my arms are all poked and sore. But at least it's over for now, and I have extra money to afford some stuff I've been wanting (and some say they're mandatory =P). For some time in the clinic I played Breath of Fire for SNES, out of a craving for old-school RPG. I don't think I'll waste time finishing the game, though... Anyways, that's it for those days.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who's a lab rat.

Stupid me

Image Placeholder

Yes, yes, yes. Stupid heart that puts hope on what I had rationalized as not healthy before. But I don't mind being hurt anymore, I know I'm addicted to pain. These days have been empty (obviously), so short post.

Wednesday I was at home doing nothing until I had to go to PMRI. The subway took a loooong time between Warden and Kennedy station, so I ended up being on time instead of early. I just did random useless stuff that night before going to bed.

Thursday I was at the clinic for the whole day. I avoided all the meat from the meals again, and got away with it once more. The blood draws were a little more harsh on me this time, and I got a headache in the afternoon that lasted until about 10pm. The movies they played were all of those that I watched to prepare for this year's Oscars, lol. Anyway, moving on...

Friday I left the clinic in the morning, and took the subway home. I had a breakfast once I arrived, and soon started to call some places trying to make my bold plan work. I wanted to rent a 2-bedroom apartment for just June and July, so that my mom could pay for half of it while she's here. It didn't work, since no one wanted to rent for such a short term, and to make things worse I got a call from Walter asking for a definite word on the bachelor in Parkdale. I told him I would meet him at 2pm, so I helped Ray with her Portuguese singing until about 1pm, and then left. I met Walter and I signed the form and everything T.T Now I'm officially living in Parkdale starting in June. I had to find a RBC machine to cash the money out and give it to him as last month's deposit, so I went all the way to Lansdowne station only to realize the blue bank over there is BMO, not RBC. I asked around where the closest RBC was, and apparently it was at College and Ossington. I used the trip there to stop by the store managed by the Brazilians I know here in Toronto, and I chatted with them for a bit. They were happy that my mom is coming, and they asked me to bring her there one day =P I went to the RBC after stopping there, and cashed the rent's money. I then went back to Parkdale and paid Walter, who gave me a receipt. A weird feeling was flying over me while I was coming back - I didn't feel like I belong in Parkdale, but still Metric's song was playing over and over in my head like a hypnotic tune. Once I got home, I could forget about things since P. wanted to watch a movie. I chose Antichrist because I needed something strong, but he couldn't focus on it. I really liked it, on the other hand. Lars von Trier always amazes me with his intense scenes. So, after the movie I went to bed.

Today I was doing nothing at home the whole day, because of you-know-what. I did stupid things in the afternoon that luckily didn't work, so I don't have to cope with regret now. I chatted with Cherem, and that made me miss him even more - the songs from Vanessa da Mata will hit me even harder now. I read a few chapters from Master and Margarita waiting for the clock to hit 11pm, and a while after that I finally called him. No answer, of course, but I left a voice mail. He texted me back, and we started an awkward conversation that luckily progressed into a productive DR. We continued the conversation over the phone when things were eased out, and focusing on the good things really work. And now after writing the whole paragraph I remembered the paradox of the beginning of the post. See why I say my heart is a fool? I even forget that the pattern will probably not change. Well, there's nothing wrong with hoping and dreaming, so that's what I'll do. Take care.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who believes he can trust in stupid you.

He wants to be alone

Another gray post because of pizdec life circumstances. I'll turn off my feelings again and wait for someone to wake me up when the depression cycle ends. I honestly don't know how I am going to maintain my mental health in the next couple months. It's not just one or two of my basic structures that are weak, but nearly all of them are falling apart and adding to the weight of the world that I already carry on my shoulders. At this point there is no precise action that I can take to change anything, so all I can do is complain and document.

Saturday I woke up at Pharma Medica really early to start the nightmare process. I took a shower and joined everyone at the main hall waiting for the staff to send the stand-by's home. After that I felt a little empty feeling inside, but the blood draws kept me busy enough not to get worse. I read a little portion of my book, played some things on my computer, and even chatted with some people on facebook. I left my laptop updating Ubuntu and went to take a nap when the blood draws were over. I almost didn't have time to finish the whole process at night, but fortunately everything was completed. I went to bed hoping that the next day would be much better.

And it actually was. It started terrible because the weather outside was ridiculously cold (it snowed!), and I really wanted to have company in the morning, but it only came later in the afternoon. He was very sweet in coming here to take care of me, as I kindly asked, and we drank tea and ate pastries together. Unfortunately we ended up having an unpleasant conversation later, which started a degradation process inside of me. I put the process on hold for the evening because P. asked me to be away from the apartment for some time. I contacted Rauf and met him at his place to go for a walk and have something to drink at Starbucks. We chatted until almost 11pm, and then I came home to try to sleep.

On Monday I restarted my apartment hunt process, this time hyper frustrated because of the recent past events. I was developing my action plan to change my insecure situation, but it was made hard by a couple phone calls with an unusual caring tone. I ended up visiting many different places, getting a couple application forms, and giving a semi-final word on a place in Parkdale. I wish some miracle happened to save me from getting that place, but I really think that will be my next residence for some time from now on =/ I kept walking around the neighbourhood in the evening to try again to give P. some privacy, and I even ate some Sushi at the entertainment district. I came home at a time that was late for me, but not for anyone else, but I don't care about the consequences of that. After another conversation over the phone and the death of Mx's battery, I went to bed.

Tuesday was the terrible day, that made the whole post become gray. I was building my sentences to talk to him about how I would prefer to have things proceeding, but I got overly nervous when we started talking, pissing him off in less than 5min. As a result, he exploded and didn't let me even start what I had to say. I was left in the bus to Finch station without any reason to be there, and took a long time to figure out what to do for the rest of the day. I finally got a text back from David saying that he was at home and I was welcome to go visit him, so I went and chatted until it was time to go to Express. At the meeting, my check in made it obvious that I wasn't feeling well, and because of that we came back to my problem near the end of the session. Many people agreed with me on the action I wanted to take, and Olimpia said something that might be really true about some lack of respect causing me to feel less attractive and not deserving this relationship. Again I had to put everything on hold to go for a job interview (weirdly scheduled to happen at a Starbucks), and I met two great guys who want to start a new web project. I really don't feel I'm the best candidate for what they are looking for, but if they choose me I'll try my best to make this my entrance card to the IT business. After the interview I came home, and the night was tense for all the feelings and thoughts tormenting my body while I was trying to sleep.

What I really wanted to say is that I don't think it's healthy for me to follow my stupid heart anymore. I have already learned that your will doesn't change who you fall in love with, but it does change who you try to interact with. I'm yet to be ok with the fact that I always fall in love with the wrong people - the ones that will obviously cause me harm and sadness. But I am almost sure that I am not in love with who he is, but with who I think he could be. Since the change might never occur, there's no reason why I should kill myself little by little being in a relationship that actually doesn't exist. The many factors that slowly put me down, including the absence of concrete documentation in my blog, are accumulating to the point that I should not have to put up with anymore. It sucks to reject someone you love, but if the lack of reciprocity is already making you feel rejected, there's no other option left. That's it for today.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who doesn't

Don't finish a sentence with a preposition!

Oh my God, I'm bored. I'm tired of doing each one of the few possibilities I have in this clinic... Maybe I'll get inspired to continue programming my new blog once I finish this post =]

Tuesday I decided to go out and walk around my neighbourhood looking for a place to rent. I found some signs, some of them too expensive, others didn't answer. I left lots of voicemails, and none of the places called me back =/ I booked a viewing for Wednesday, and checked a place whose landlady was available (hyper creepy, let me stay away from there x.x). After having my legs protesting against walking more, I went back home to rest.

Wednesday I woke up to check the place I had booked a viewing for. It was an amazing 2-bedroom unit, very clean and big enough. I was really suspicious of the price, and that was obvious, because the Chinese landlord had mislead me on saying it was $750/month when it was actually $1750 a month -.- I pretended I would call later, and went home disappointed. I then called a place whose ad I saw online, and the landlord agreed to show it to me that same afternoon. I took the subway to Pape, and once I found the apartment (not too far from the station), I liked it. I called Oli right away to force him to check it with me, but no response. I decided to walk around Greektown to try to find other options, but again lots of overpricing and many many voicemails that were not responded. To avoid more frustration, I went to Allen Gardens (the actual gardens =P) to relieve some stress. I felt like eating sushi afterwards, so I sheltered myself from the first half of the storm at Sushi Sky. I had to confront the second half on my way home, and even the last bits of it around my place since Patrick took forever to leave and let me have the space. Once home, I tried fixing some problems at a specific computer, but I was helpless. After enabling that computer with some new tricks, "we" parted and left and I went to bed.

Thursday I woke Oli up to drag him to the place I wanted to rent, and the fdp took forever to come downtown. I waited for him forever at Pape station because he didn't have the decency to tell me he was biking and not taking the ttc (notice how angry I am at him). We checked the place, he said he wanted it, so we took application forms. We went to Magic Oven to eat a vegan pizza, and then came home to watch a movie and fill the forms. Mister Oli didn't want to finish and sign the form at the spot, and I told him that Friday was the deadline. He didn't make it, so now I know for sure I won't rent a 2-bedroom. After all the search... No worries, I'll try to avoid the stress for now. I went outside to cash the money I needed to pay rent, and then went to bed.

Friday I was doing nothing at home and forgetting to feed myself until it was time to come to Pharma Medica for the first period of my medical study. I thought I would be early, but the traffic on Sheppard held me back for a long time. I decided I needed something before entering the clinic, otherwise the fasting period would be fatal, so I went to Tim Hortons and bought two buttered bagels. After eating them, I checked in and got my stylish red t-shirt with the number 13 to wear for the rest of my stay here. We had snack at 8pm, and I managed to get rid of the ham from my sandwich without the nurses noticing =] More to come soon.

SeeYa,
Feliploko. Is there anything specific you're looking for, bitch?

mīla?

Damn! I tried to use the pontinho again, but it didn't work. Here I am, a whole week after the last post, editing what I wanted to post earlier. I have no clue what I did on Friday and Monday (and it wasn't important probably), so I'll just make a small post about the weekend.

Saturday I had my resale training at Ontario Place. They taught us a bunch of stuff, and it wasn't as bad as the two other training sessions. This time we had a chance to walk around the park, so I finally saw the place that I will actually work (which is not at all encouraging =[). After confirming my feeling that the park isn't really an interesting place to take my friends to, I just set my thoughts on how long it will take me to find a better job. Our tour was over around 3pm, so I went to the streetcar stop with a some of my co-workers. They are all younger than me, but interacting with them on the TTC wasn't too bad. There's this queer kid who could become a nice company on my days of boredom at that park. When I got off at Bathurst station, I stopped by at Butler's to eat something, and then I went to Alex's to have my hair cut. After all this jazz, I went home and did nothing (I guess).

Sunday was the day for the Jane's Walk. I wasn't very sure if I wanted to go, but the coordinator Nadia almost came to my apartment to drag me there =P We went together with her roommie, and we got there almost in time. People started showing up little by little, and we started the walk with about 30 people! =] We walked down on Church all the way to Carlton, and then turned left to go to Sherbourne. The stories we shared were somewhat interesting, and Rauf and I even started some of our common discussions during the walk =P We ended the tour in front of SOY, and everyone was so impressed with our stories about Adam & Eve that they decided to go back there to get some chocolatish stuff. We sat at the little patio on the back of the chocolatier, and we had a lot of mature people talk. When we parted and left, I decided to have dinner with Rauf - we bought stuff at Metro and went to his place to cook it (you know what "we" means in this case). After satiating my hunger and chatting about eurovision, I came home to rest.

And to finish the post, I need to expand a little bit on the recent comment I got in one of my posts. This kind of thing you never expect to happen to you, although you have some clue that it happens outside of the movies. I remember when I was receiving visits from Elisama Corporation, which was later explained to be one of my new friend's ex-girlfriend trying to get information on his "new life". This time it turned out to be a secret visitor for myself, and the funny thing is that I totally understand that. It's usually me the person to have a crush on someone and never let them know, and I have no idea why it's so hard to start interacting with whoever the person is. I can only feel this weird empathy for Gabriel, and be happy that he made a great friendship as a by-product of the whole situation. Now if this happens for a third time I will feel really disturbed =P Let's wait and see...
