holey moley

Earlier in the evening at Starbucks. This was the speed my downloads were going at.

What the hell?!?!?! omg mind you that the "normal" speed is about 190KB/sec (ON A GOOD DAY!)
The net was clearly on steroids today.

Anyhoo. So long weekend has dawn on us. A long weekend that i SHOULD be enjoying but suddenly at 5:30pm today a bomb was dropped on me thus i abid farewell to my highly anticipated many-hours-of-trolling-tumblr-for-Arsenal-Charity-Ball-pictures long weekend. Oh and of course S&N's engagement ceremony and the last Arsenal game of the Season - all of which i am highly anticipating

But now, to get into details of "the bomb" now.

I haven't really told anyone yet but yes, i did make the shortlist for that interview that i spent what seemed like endless nights and days working on the prep and presentation for it. Round 2 officially began today when one of the guys that interviewed me, sent an e-mail outlining the "challenge" of this round. In short- the e-mail included a folder with content and image assets and I am asked to create a presentation by the coming Wednesday. There's really no restrictions, I am at creative freedom. Basically be innovative, be wild and be hardcore. 

When I first read this i felt my brain turn into mush. For the past week i've pretty much been just working exclusively on my "Sample" portfolio site (because i felt the need to have something up, rather then being mad ghettos and sending PDFs of my work) and trying to get it up by today.

BTW.
IT IS UP. FIND THE LINK YOURSELF......IT SHOULD BE PRETTY EASY FOR THOSE THAT SPENDS THEIR TIME LOOKING THROUGH MY STUFF. Let me know your thoughts if you DO see it. Feedback is much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

I spent SO much time redo-ing it and lost some sleep over it. It was extremely mentally draining and i thought after completing it this afternoon, i'd REALLY have some time to recover. Na Uh. No can do with Round 2 deadline in 4 days and I lose almost 2 days because of prior plans. I simply did not think i have the mental capacity to do anything spectacular and hardcore. I squeeeezed that creative sponge dry. I felt like I was out of tricks.

Lets also not forget about all the freelance opportunities that has suddenly popped up and i have to figure THAT out next week. 

That said though, after freaking out and crying internally for about 20 minutes- i was STILL able to send out another job application to a really awesome advertising and design boutique for an available position (TY cousin for showing me their website) and started drawing up a mental game plan for this Round 2 on the bus ride home.

Mental Note: Must watch what im drinking/eating this weekend. Potentially no gym until NEXT Thursday. :((((

But yes. Here we go. Round 2. *DING DING*

FUKKKEN BRING IT BIATCHES. I was made for this.

Let the games begin..................

Lazy Sunday

The weekend is coming to an end and here i am at Starbucks abusing their wireless again with my furious downloads. I tried my uber very best to not drink before Halloween but that failed miserably last night.

Went out with C to celebrate her first night "out" as a single lady with the Ward kids. After last night, i can be even more confident in saying I absolutely, absolutely HATEEEEE House music with a disgusting passion. You people would not believe how glad i was to hear No Speak Americano and then I never, EVER thought i would be SO glad to hear Far East Movement's, Like a G6 so much in my life. And then that was it. TWOOOOO Top 40s song (i guess) the entire night. All i wanted to hear was USHER or even BEYONCE (yuck) is that so much to ask for??? God. No mood. whatsoever.

 So i pretty much had two options last night-

• enjoy the music, have one vodka lime and dance the night away.
• do not enjoy the music but get hammered to a point where any music is good music, and dance the night away. 

Since the music option was limited to only the genre that i hate the most- only Option B was plausible. Even THAT did not work because it costed WAY to much to get drunk in a club. Thus it was a failed evening.

Don't get me wrong, i absolutely adored the company i was with. The guys are great, I love C and really wished the night was better (please don't feel bad lol) for the both of us. It was just unfortunate that the music was not in our favor. And that makes me REALLLLLLLLLLLLY pissed. lol

Anyhoo. Bumped into the kids just now, all hungover. It was great. lol

Amazing race tonight! Go TeamJumba!!!!!

& the short work week begins because technically my "weekend" begins on Thursday =D

I might load some new stuff later tonight.

Chocolate totally made my night by showing me HIS usage. 

lol damn you and your UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH.

Craziness

Thought: There are just so many bitter people in this world. Not enough nice people.

I woke up extra early this morning to head out to Leslie Station to return a portfolio that i found there yesterday. I would think that most people would probably rummage through it to see if there's anything valuable and then leave it if there was nothing of value..or simply walk past it and ignore it for the caretakers to discard of at the end of the day. I thought it was the right thing to do to take it and return it because i felt like, if i lost something...i would hope someone would return it to me too. Anyways so i ventured out to go meet with the owner when things just kept on not going well. It was cold...the bus was almost an hour late..i was hungry and didn't dress appropriately because i lost my black coat..might have left it someones house...and on top of that the bus driver was a fucking racist. In short, another Chinese girl and i jumped to a Chinese grandma's defense when the jackass opened his mouth and said "You Chinese People lag EVERYTHING". Erm. Yeah. What the fuck right. Shit it was not pretty. I believe that girl said she's going to make a formal complaint and we exchanged contacts and everything in case she needs me again for a statement or whatever. On the way there, i saw a mother that was completely mistreating her kids. I wanted to yell but i think i did enough and i should mind my own business. I started to think maybe being nice like this....gets you no where. Meaningless bullshit keeps coming at you no matter what. Anyways i made it to the station, returned the stuff and the lady looked extremely grateful. I'm glad i could have helped. Minus everything else that happened. Mainly because i believe in Karma/好心有好報. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now.

Anyways i came home, hoping to have some peace and quiet to a somewhat tiring morning to discover that my mom and grandma are going at each other like its a contest to see who can be loudest. Unbelievable, what they were fighting over. No wonder i am such a freak. All generations of women in my family are CRAZY. I couldn't even wait for my brother to come home with the metro pass (to use it) to go to Starbucks because their little screaming match was getting repetitive and annoying. On top of that i need to do work and download stuff (heh).

Not a good day. Waiting for 2 o'clock Fail. Just went to get one and was embarrassingly declined because it actually starts at THREE. Not Two. Bleh. Mega Starbucks Fail. Don't know how i can got that wrong. to get me a half-priced frap to make myself feel better.

Go go go Downloads.

Go go go Premium Megaupload Account!

我可能很幼兒...但是我不知道我還有什麼可以做,至給我自己小小希望.
起碼此時這樣做我會好過一點.

# # #

Update: A bit creeped out. A GROUP of Japanese men are speaking (violently) to one another and sitting in front of me. I wonder are they going to whip out their swords and start to kill each other if "things don't go well".

Update Again: Scary. One of the men just moved my bag and sat at my table. HMMM. Damns you Starbucks why can't you have more plugs around the store.

Update Again Again: Okay they've calmed down and now laughing. I think i'm going to live til happy hour starts.

GG

My current internet usage status:

13.28GBS left. 18 days left until our billing cycle ends. That's equivalent to only 730MBs can be used each day.

SNAPPPPPPPPPP.

Guess who'll be at Starbucks this weekend and all week and weekendS for the next 3 weeks doing all of my family's downloading? haha sighs. i think this month is the perfect month to purchase a megaupload account.

P90x

Maybe I am going way over my head on this one but i think i'm going to start up on doing P90x. Sure yeah its a huge diet/weight loss FAD but their marketing is SO awesome and i for one now appreciate GOOD marketing (Marketing/brand development is brutal.), so i must give into them especially when i see THIS (see below) this pretty face on every infomercial channel i flip by.

 See.

 How can you go wrong when a man name TONY (not Tim) Horton is going to be "training" you for the next 3 months!!!

I'm going through this crazy fitness phase where all i want to do is exercise but i am completely neglecting doing work (you know...the kind that allows me to put new clothes on my back and Starbucks in my hand) and everything else that i REALLY need to do. I'm actually very contradicting because i'm not exactly eating well so even if i do, do all this intense exercising....it would be equivalent to me doing nothing if im still putting spoons of Honey Green Tea ice cream into my mouth periodically through out the day. What can i say....i'm fat for a reason right lol.

Anyways i digress. Back to P90X.

So because of my lack of disposable income, i'm in no position to walk over to Walmart to buy the kit. i must resort to downloading all 40gigs of the training system. FYI: I only have 60 gigs worth of bandwidth each MONTH at home. How am i going to do it? Easy- Starbucks Wi-fi Abuse.

Thanks to Starbucks l'll soon have the P90X, or (Power 90 Extreme), vigorous-but-magical-hope-created-and-hopefully-wont-fail-on-me home training system in my possession! THNXXXX YOUUUU. Its no wonder i love you guys so much.

I don't think l'll start the actual 90 days right away (this mayyy includes the diet plan. But that's looking like a lost cause right now because nothing can make me give up french fries), my plans are to do it when i come back from Cuba. Or whenever i finish downloading them HAA. I did only half of the Ab Section (Ab Ripper X) today and i was already ko'ed on the floor. That said im doing it again tmr and im DETERMINED to at least get through til the end. Even if it means i gotta skip a rep or four.

I realize that i'm not really making sense (because i am SO tired right now from Hot Yoga) and im not even going to bother re-reading it until the morning. Or never. Because i'm lazy.

NIGHTS.

Ps. I miss the mister and his insane laughter. His SB schedule is so wooky.

Bandwidth

There's two days left in the month and my brother and i are surviving on THREE GIGS of bandwidth at home. We've been monitoring our net since the 2nd week in October and have been very generous with our downloads and streamings and limited ourselves to using only 1.5gigs (TOTAL, not each) per day. Regardless though, we are so so so screwed hahaha Pray that we can make it!!!!

reblog: TVB

i'm pretty much reblogging the exact entry J did last week. but started today, were two super great TVB dramas that is going to make my bandwidth usage skyrocket because i am (well, my brother is lol) is going to download these in HD and i'm going to come home and enjoy these babies.

indeed i have gone drama-nuts.

First up, Beyond the Realm of Conscience [ 宮心計], 35 episodes

I watched this just now and it was SO dramaful, exciting and intense already i cannot wait to watch tomorrow's episode. Even the poster looks fierce. I also gotta add how effing HAWT their eye makeup is. They all got some intense smokey MAC eye going on, on almost every single character and its sooo sexy.The costume are also really pretty and seductive too. lolll


Second, Born Rich [富貴門], 41 episodes

I havn't watched the entire episode yet, only the first minute when the theme song is playing and i paused it to blog about it lol Without even watching it, i KNOW its good and i already like it because the theme song is good. haha Yes i totally judge a drama by its theme song. Also because i am a HUGE fan of Gallen Lo and this is his first drama back from "retirement" that's similar to all his hit dramas (Golden Faith, Cold Blood Warm Heart, Threshold of an Era I&II) .. it's gotta be good. Maybe i can sneak in 15 minutes before sleeping.

hehehehe

Starbucks Addict

Gah and here you people think i am a Starbucks freak, always hanging around there lol. I'm a noob compared to this guy! Bringing his mini mac and his 15" monitor with the keyboard and the works!

Quick update.

i missed Nuit Blanche yesterday night (will write an more in-depth blog entry on my feelings on that) because the mister assessed my face and felt like i was in no shape to leave the house, let alone walk around Toronto until sunrise. So, i stayed home and was bitter (because he made me chop my nails) while watching Legend of the Condor Heroes 94 (the one with Chi Lam!) until 3am.

Face is slightly better today, but probably only due to the fact that i have an icepack/cold compressor bag stuck to my face every waking AND sleeping second. Hopefully a right can come out of this mess of wrongs. What i mean is hopefully this rash on my face can lead to my face clearing up. I also need to really buckle down and start detox-ing my system and begin a meal plan for the next few months. I need to start watching and taking care of my health because indirectly that will affect my weight and appearance of my skin in a positive light. I'm fairly confident i can do it, the only obstacle is making the time, or rather setting a time aside for me to plan for it all and of course, discipline above all. If lx can quit smoking for me (and of course himself), i know i would be able to do this for him and myself.

Yeah that's about it.

prime time tv

House

I lurve Wilson. pwahahaha


Criminal Minds

Hotch: My team? Let me tell you about my team: Agent Morgan fought to protect his identity from the very people who could save him. Why? Because trust has to be earned, and there are very few people he truly trusts. Reid’s intellect has a shield which protects him from his emotions, and at the moment his shield is under repair. Prentiss over-compensates because she doesn’t yet feel she’s a part of the team; she need not worry. Everyday Agent Jareau fields dozens of requests for our team, and every night she goes home hoping she has made the right choices. Garcia fills her office with figurines and color, to remind herself to smile as the horror fills her screens… And Agent Gideon in many ways is damned by his profound knowledge of others, which is why he shares so little of himself, yet he pours his heart into every case we handle. I stand by my actions, and I stand by my team, and if you think that you can find a better person for the job, then good luck

When hotcher said this, it made me choke up.
