wow it's been a LONG while since i posted my last entry @_@;; it almost feels awkward writing out an entry like this~
but i shall endure, just to update you guys on what's happening in my life. btw even though i dont comment too often, i'm reading every one of your entries! sometimes i dont have the time to comment on everyone, sometimes i'm too lazy [is shot] and sometimes i jsut dont know what to say ._.)/ so forgive my absense please m(_ _)m <-that's Nino's fav emoticon! XD [inner fangirl is still alive]

so i got that out. i think im done 'ㅅ'
i shall be returning in... August methinks. Till then, i will go on multiple shopping sprees and buy lots of clothes and shoes concentrate on staying healthy and not gaining weight! My uncle keeps this house very well stocked. With generally fattening but good snacks! D: Why does pasturies have to be so good and so fattening at the same timeeeeee T_T

well not for long, cuz my psych midterm is coming up and other exams as well but at least for the moment, i am alive :D
and i plan to stay here for the entire summer, and hopefully get a job at Roberts! Eunice, can you refer me to the T-Card office if all else fails?! 
I will be moving downtown definitely, i think around July but not sure about the time yet.
So call me up during summer ppl :DDDD 

hello everyone! :D not a week left until you guys get to see me again! and school as well but you shall see me and that is outweighs the school and your general academic lives. lol im kidding

Christmas was really augh D: not eventful and no presents but it was a relaxing day so i'll let it go at that. the day after! was so much better in terms of everything minus the physical pain. i went exploring Manhattan alone, for two days and on the first day, my uncle dropped me off at Manhattan when i was still half asleep and my hair wasnt completely dry. first went to Times Square without knowing it;;;; then went to Marriott hotel to warm myself + bought a cup of peppermint hot chocolate (my favourite!). it was noon but after finishing my sweet drink, i didnt feel like eating so i just started walking around. I passed by Bryant park and other interesting shops but didnt go shopping.  i was at loss of what to do, cuz i didnt know where to go / how to get there. so i just went to the nearest library and read Part 1 of Paradise Lost. it was pretty good. then i headed back home, and that took a while cuz i had to take the train for the very first time alone, and when i asked three ppl how to get to the station they all gave me different answers -_-;; and the ppl here are too busy to be polite! it's kinda scary to talk to them T_T but finally i figured it out, and took the subway to the station then took the train. except i got on the wrong train - like going in the correct direction but it wasnt stopping at my stop - so i had to wait extra twenty minutes to go home. Then got off at the station and walked home. i was feeling rather uncheerful (lol) altho the daily routine of get up-eat-dishes-tv-computer-sleep was so evenfully broken, so i promised myself i'll do it properly again.

and so i did, two days later ;) my plan was to go to Central park + spend my day at Metropolitan Museum of Art and i thought that'd pass the time quite nicely. i decided to walk from Penn station to the museum because i didnt wanna take the bus/subway and also cuz i just wanted to walk around and sightsee. you see, i was clearly delirious with sleep when i decided on this -_-. Manhattan is a big city and walking from Penn station to Central Park and Met Museum THEN walking around the museum killed my feet. It was a good exercise, but i have blisters on both my feet now D: my legs dont hurt too much strangely. But it was quite enjoyable, taking a walk downtown. i wanted to walk straight up from Penn station but i lost my way and had to visit all the famous sites on the way.... I SWEAR I GOT LOST D: see, i didnt wanna add Manhattan Mall or the world's biggest Macy store (department store) or Herald Square on my to-see list of the day, but i ended up visiting them all. Oh except Macy cuz i knew my legs wouldnt be able to hold me up very well by the end of my trip if i went to Macy too. Central Park was ok, but i almost got lost there as well D: and it was a freaking long walk to Met museum. Met was AWESOME <333333 i love 16th-19th art especially their everyday items. Like the delicate watches or the baroque-styed christmas tree ornaments, or their secretary, high and small square beds, reading table, and elaborate tea sets.... awwwwwwww i spent so much time obsessing over those said items, i didnt really have time to look properly at the pictures on display... ^^; oops;;; im planning to visit again so it's no big deal :D then after the museum i went to see War and Peace the opera. and that ended my hectic fun-filled day. :Dv
the opera was a bit disappointing in terms of staging and a bit contemporary in terms of music (read as, didnt really sound like an opera D:) but was still very nicely done. Not that i know too much about operas to say such things but you know D: 

Fortunately, that wasnt the only opera i got to see. Un ballo in maschera (opera - masquerade in.. iunno what language D: )  was a lot more to my taste. The cast was so diverse! the prima donna was a black woman and the protagonist + antagonists white males, and among the antagonists i saw several Asians too. lol. But my favourite was the Nutcracker the ballet. it srsly wins<3 the music, the stage sets, the ballet..... aww<3  i wanna buy a DVD of the ballet now  +_+ oh and the ballet was also diverse in casting XD the music calls for it! chinese dance, spanish and arabian too! AND dont forget the mice~ XD


it's lovely to be here, with my (second?) family, to enjoy all the culture has to offer, but i cant wait to go back to Canada, to see you guys. it's like being split between three homes now - Korea, Canada and New York added to the list.

Ani need to write my 50% essay.................................. AHAHAHA :D and what am i doing on lj????
i didnt get to writing the promised last part of my love life post cuz i got home around 1:30 =_= i had dinner with my church friends then went to the concert.... rmb last year when i suddenly invited you guys to my concert? i wasnt in it this year - a lot of older members dropped out and it is now full of newbies with no experience in playing music in such a large group. They were BAD........ i  have to join them next year as an OB 

My arms hurt cuz i've been shoveling the snow in my drive way, which i've never done before. thank god it didnt freeze. 

..............................................im too distracted to write about my love life lol
i shall be returning to this post later tonight ;)

a lot of ppl have been telling me that im one of their closest friends, when i consider them as a little more than acquintances. 
i guess this means im not so anti-social anymore? or that i appear very trustful? lol
it just kinda makes me feel weird when someone that i dont even consider a friend would value me so much when unfortunately it's not returned... D: im sorry but i just dont know you that well yet!


just wanted to get that off my chest.


and i got an A on my english essay :D yay~

i was thinking that i should write something on lj, i forgot what.
i'm currently at Kelly - one of the libraries of UT - and im done my english class 5-8 which felt longer than usual.
i want to go the washroom but i'm afraid someone will take my laptop and run with it u_u

i see three koreans at a table near mine and they're not very good looking so i wont ask them to look after my laptop lol jk


oh ya i rmb what i wanted to talk about
about the guy that got drunk and called me, the 'mentally unstable' one -_-; see he's not a bad kid but I THINK from what he's told me unwittingly that his parents just gave him money and expected him to grow up by himself, without guidance. He's really estranged from his family, from what i hear. And when he was young so about in elementary school, he was in Muskoka? i think? an area where you didnt see a lot of asian ppl so he was bullied A LOT like he had to go to the hospital cuz they broke his bones and stuff. 
and altho he keeps saying things like im the only friend he has at UT but doesn't treat me like a friend, i think that's because he doesnt know how to treat people. it's like he doesnt know how to live at all - no common sense. 

im not sure if i can be a stand-in parent for him and i intend NOT to be, but i cant help feeling sorry for him.
i guess i'll be lending him my shoulder and my sympathies every now and then in the coming future.
well he's rich so i'll demand that he pays me back with interest :D after all his aunt who has a private jet is building a hotel in Spain..... ;) 
as much as i'd like to sound totally heartless, i do worry about him and it's been bugging me the whole weekend -_-;;
see, when i told you guys about him, that was to get off this weight on my chest and also to explain why i was so tired at the Thanksgiving dinner. but i dont want you to think badly of him, or just.. bad-mouth him i guess? even thou i know you guys wont ever do it  ^_^


ah i just figured out what J Pop suki means. stupid eng romanization =_=

internet is still down at home, despite the fact i called rogers and the technical support guy told me it should be up and running about "5 minutes later". ya five minute my ass. -_-
you do not try my patience when i've been deprived of internet the whole weekend.


and i have my biochem midterm this tues, and essay due on this wed. 
and internet might not be working when i get home tonite. then i have to call in again to complain.
Life is effing great. -_-

rmb that post about me getting creative due to stress i'm receiving from school? yes, amazing paraphrasing skills i know XD anyway, here's the end result of it! I sang Ame no hiwa No Thank you which means, No thank you on (a) rainy day(s).  It's a character song from FMA and its actually a duet but since im so creative and capable lol i decided to sing both parts myself. Excuse my crappy harmonizing at the end of the song. it was done in a spur of a moment and i did not care ot reference to the original song for the actual melody. well i had to change the key anyway to adjust to my voice :D ok enough with excuses. plz dont kill me for ruining the song ㅇ>-<


My version

Original version

 Rmb how at the beginning of the year (or at the end of summer, whichever :P) i said i dont want to get into a relationship? I kinda do now  =_=.  Over the course of last 3 school days, i've been hanging out with 3 guys, and they're all concerned with a love life in one way or another. Just today, i had to cheer up a guy that drank 2 bottles of sake at 3 in the morning because looking at his crush made him upset. (I know wtf but he's kinda weird, so i try to take in everything without commenting on it. arent i such a good friend XD) 

Maybe it's because i have too much free time on my hands right now lol i'm so relaxed. i was more stressed out in high school during IB =_= what is this?! not that i WANT more stress but looking back, maybe it was a waste of my life that i was in IB. Ah well it's no use crying over split milk. I'll just go now and type up my english notes and research graduate school or something. ah crap i forgot to get the plane ticket for HK >_> i'll do that tonight. Ah btw my parents said NO to me staying at a hotel in Seoul with you guys.... looks like i'll have to commute, even in Korea TAT!!!!!



i love English :D have i mentioned that? lol

See you all on Sunday~ <3

 Just wondering, would you guys be interested if i put up recordings of myself?
Somehow the hectic lifestyle demanded by UT is making me feel more creative... :D

bio lab seems so hard now. compared to last year
my lab TA is korean, his accent is still distinct. HE ALREADY KNOWS MY NAME AFTER WHAT, 2 HOURS OF LAB ;A;!!!!!! that is not good. and he shot down my group presentation. he shot down almost all of them but still ;A;

i had other things to say, but i forgot. i tend to do that a lot these days. I am enjoying english very much :Dv SO glad i decided to major.
