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,
