Aww…

Sorry for neglecting you, bloggy.

I’ve been SO busy that I haven’t even been playing my Xbox! Actually today was the first day in 10 weeks!
I’ll tell you about it sometime :)

Maybe.

Arietta – Old Habits Die Young

So I got this successfully stuck in my head today…

Yep.

Anyway, my brother left for Japan with his gf today and I’m jealous. I hope they have an amazing time. Oh and here is his band’s music video!

Let’s talk about Feb, baby.

So it was St. Patty’s day and I had a great time and met some new people. My cheekbones were hurting from the laughter. That’s prolly one of the best types of pain (if any) one can endure.

Anyway, I’m here to talk about February since I barely did last month. Not that you would care but it is the shortest month every year so I thought I’d give it some belated love. Maybe in list form. Who knows? Let’s see how it turns out…

  •  
  • •   I played two separate vball tournaments… AT THE SAME TIME. Both of my teams won it all! In the finals on court 1, Andrew got injured so we had to play with only 3ppl yet we still won! It was such an amazing feeling to have the whole place cheering for us, point after point. What a day :)
  •  
  • •   I was so tired one day that I dialed my credit card number instead of the phone number on the back…
  •  
  • •   I finally started using the hot tub. It helped when I was sore after capoeira. Also when I work from home sometimes I use it during lunch break. Reminds me of Shizuoka :)
  •  
  • •   On Valentine’s Day I came in 3rd out of 5ppl in a game of Monopoly even though I only owned one deed. Andy sucks at making deals.
  •  
  • •   I went to an evening with Kevin Smith at Roy Thompson Hall. Talking about Avatar, Bruce Willis and Blair Witch was so hilarious.
  •  
  • •   Conan had his last ep :(
  •  
  • •   I got addicted for two weeks to that T.I. track, “Whatever You Like
  •  
  • •   I started and beat Mass Effect 2. SO AWESOME! Seriously, this game is amazing.
  •  
  • •   The Olypics happened. In Vancouver. We rocked. Our ceremonies did not.
  •  
  • •   I got pulled over for speeding. Got two tickets for my licence being expired and having my old address on the expired licence :( Nice cop tho. Let me drive home because I was so polite :) Thank God he wasn’t a white cop!
  •  
  • •   Learned that the Timmies at Lawrence and Don Mills is not good. Like… TERRIBLE. Do NOT go there.
  •  
  • •   Got back into Westbam.
  •  
  • •   Got into Tape Deck Bros. Funky-ass house! They are so awesome. Monday nights @ Andy Poolhall after capoeira are amazing! (Thanks Wyn!)
  •  
  • •   My competitive vball team changed their name from Grapes to “I Wish I Had More Hands.” Before that we were Pancakes and before that, Blouses.
  •  
  • •   I got down to 181lbs. I probably gained some back after I went dessert hopping with Steph and Cin. Yeah you heard me, dessert hopping.

Anyway, that was a breif summary of my February. See you next year, Feb.

Stacks of GAMES, and Coke on ICE,
We be Street Fightin’ all NIGHT
And maybe we can play whoever we like. We can play whoever we like;

Great white BEACH so warm and so BRIGHT,
String up the net for you so TIGHT
And baby we can bump however you like. We can bump however you like… Yeah!

I’d Die Without You

This post has nothing to do with my feelings. I just recently got addicted to this song again after… 17 years? The instrumental has been on repeat while I’ve been trying to get some rush work done for Inweb. So good!


Is it my turn to wish you were lying here;
I tend to dream you when I’m not sleeping.
Is it my turn to fictionalize my world;
Or even imagine your emotions – Tell myself anything.
Is it my turn to hold you by your hands;
Tell you I love you and you not hear me.
Is it my turn to totally understand;
To watch you walk out of my life and not do a damn thing…

If I have to give away;
The feeling that I feel.
If I have to sacrifice;
Whatever, babe, whatever baby.
If I have to take apart;
All that I am.
Is there anything that I would not do;
‘Cause inside I’d die without you…

I apologize for all the things I’ve done;
But now I’m underwater and I’m drowning.
Is it my turn to be the one to cry;
Isn’t it amazing how some things just completely turn around.
So take every little piece of my heart;
Take every little piece of my soul;
Take every little bitty piece of my mind;
‘Cause if you’re gone… inside…
I’d die without you…

Can’t Sleep

It’s around 4am and I’m lying in my bed awake. I’m posting this from my phone so the formatting might be a bit off…

Anyway, it’s been a month since last post and I’ve been meaning to post a few stories. I just haven’t had any time. I still have so much to do.

I have work for clients due, bills to send, bills to pay, some organizing… I need to make that schedule I’ve been meaning to make. My braindead time has been consistent tho.

Instead of blogging, I’ve been Tweeting and FaceBooking a lot. Now there is Buzz but I just have that set to post my Tweets and my Google Reader shares. It’s better than watching Jersey Shore!

Speaking of girls getting punched in the face, I played and beat Mass Effect 2 this month. I played as a “renegade” and during a TV interview, my character punched the reporter! Besides that, the game was awesome especially if you beat the first one. Beat the fisrt game, not girl…

Since I’ve been back from my trip (almost 2 months ago!) I haven’t had time to get much done. And when I did have time, it was braindead time. It feels like I need it more now days? I donno. I’m loving vball (I need to post about the last playoffs!) and I’m back in capoeira mode (sore!). Maybe I need more greens or carbs in my diet…

The last time I was on a scale it said 183. So I have 8lbs left to go! I’m taking these last 10 slow since – lost the first 15 so quickly. I don’t want to crash!

Anyway, I should try to shut my eyes. I hope I don’t wake up to find too many spelling errors and crappy formatting :)

Ain’t Done Nuffin’

So what have I been doing all this time, you may or most probably not have asked?

Monday I saw Wyn and Steph. Tuesday I saw EMEM, LisaGu, Seems and then Kristen and today I saw Sandra. I feel like Lou Bega! Actually, I hate that guy. Oh, I should also add Inga on Sunday ;)

I was invited to Marcus’s parent’s house on Sunday for tasty dinner and chat. It would make sense that an awesome person would have awesome parents. When I have a kid, I’m sending them to Inga’s and Armas’s care for the first 2 years so they can grow up as good as Marcus.

I’ve barely been at home this week so far (except that day I worked from home) as I’ve been spending my time hanging out with old friends. This explains why I still have more pictures from my Japan trip to upload to Facebook.

I also realized that FB resizes your pictures to a width of 604px. What the heck is that all about? Anyway, my batch of uploads will be sized to that width before I start the upload next time. Let’s see how the quality changes then!

What have I done from the list in my last post? Nothing. I haven’t played any games, cleaned, barely drank water (I should get some now…), sleeping at normal times, watching shows, reading comics… I don’t know what’s up. What I did do was go to my first capoeira lesson after five or six years last Saturday. I think I might do Monday’s too with Wynnie.

Fit Farhan: coming soon.

Things I Am Doing

Hello!
I’m back from Japan and sad. It is cold, there is snow on the ground, I am jet lagged… not fun.

Speaking of fun, I just wanted to make a list of things that I am doing. I need to figure out which of these things I should focus on at the moment. So here goes:

  • • Playing Doom. Yes, the first one. I’m using this for mouse/kb
  • • Playing Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan). Yes, the first one! I’m being bad and using a NES emulator on my PSP. I just want to see where all the hype stems from.
  • • Cleaning up. It is very messy after packing/unpacking.
  • • Drinking water. Well I can multi-task this one…
  • • Trying to stay awake. I failed yesterday and slept from 3:45pm to 10pm
  • &bull Watching Japanese TV via KeyHoleTV 3.14
  • • Watching Dollhouse on NinjaVideo.net
  • • Reading Blackest Night. It is pretty badass. Read the lead up to it first if you don’t know much about Green Lantern.
  • • Getting pictures of my trip ready for the site and Facebook.
  • • Scanning those writey-drawey pages from when Zoo & Vix were here. Sorry for taking so long :(
  • • Organizing “Pick-up Thread” pics for NeoGAF
  • • Checkin’ Facebook. I started logging into FB again after a 55 month hiatus. I guess I should install that FB app on my Android phone.
  • • Groceries. There is nothing to eat in this house.
  • • Making MP3 CDs for my car. I’ve had the same CDs for years. 2010 it is time for some new (meaning: older) shit.
  • • Filling out my GST forms. I hate form filling.
  • • Payin’ bills that piled up during the trip.
  • • Did I mention cleaning up? This place is a nasty mess…

Am I forgetting anything?

Age Ain’t Nothin’ But a Number

Thank you for all the bday wishes via email and Facebook. I’m older but I feel younger.

To commemorate living passed 30 years, I bought myself a nice watch. And since I am in Japan it is a Japanese watch: Seiko. It is one of only 300 ever made and I think it looks cool! I’ll post a pic later.

Today is my last day in the land of the rising fun. I’m going to head out to Akihabara for the last time, possibly ever, and grab a few last minute things and gifts. Then after dinner tonight I will pack for the long flight home. I hear there is enhanced security because of some bomb scare? What the hell is that all about?

Anyway, hopefully my next post will be from home and not from a random airport between here and there. *crosses fingers*
