stupid counter
so i was all disappointed that everyone had stopped visiting my blog, when the case actually was of a missing counter!! why didn't the counter just get posted to the new layout?! i don't know! oh well...here we go again!
wide eyed wonder
i have my first ever pair of contacts in my eyes as i write today's entry. been wearing them for almost 4 hours, the day's prescribed time limit. it feels really weird to be able to see my face in the mirror without glasses. and sometimes i'm even forgetting that i'm not wearing glasses when i don't look in the mirror...it's like the glasses are
inside!! i do have a slight something-in-my-eye feeling, but it's not really bad or uncomfortable. it's just weird to be able to see everything without my glasses! i guess it's something hard to explain when i've been wearing glasses for over a decade now. i must admit that the vision isn't as great as with my glasses, but i guess it takes a bit of getting used to. well, that's what this trial pair is for...i'll have them for two weeks and then go back to get my 6-months' supply. exciting, eh?
i have a zit in my ear again...
hmm
i don't know how long i'll be able to stick to this template....it doesn't allow me to do paragraphs!
which will defeat the whole purpose of ending with one line at the end of each post....
don't know if anyone actually caught onto that.
this particular one was to be a five line/five paragraph blog.
but of course, not allowed by the template...........................................................
energizer bunny
that's me only when i'm shopping, these days. or cooking maybe. two things i enjoy a lot...and the only times that i have tons of energy. shopping, of course, is only good when u have money. something students don't have a lot of, obviously. but i've spent more money this month than i've earned...i'm usually not this bad...february is always a hard month to deal with...plus an extra expense of a hair cut. was very excited to get my hair cut of course, and was more or less happy with it...but my hair's such a nuisance regardless of whatever way it's cut. my sister got mad that i cut my hair as it was growing long after having had it short for over a year...but it just wasn't doing anything for me....i don't dig the whole tie-it-back-and-look-like-a-grandma look anymore....
my sister's the epitome of the energizer bunny...of course she's 8 yrs younger than me, and has the youthful excitements all 16-yr-olds do...the girl's wonderful. poor baby had an accident a couple of weeks back and nearly broke her toe...she fractured it, and had to put her leg in a cast and everything...it must have been super painful, but she tends to take everything with a grain of salt. when i spoke to her on the phone the day after the incident, she was all smiles and enjoying the attention from all family and friends, and just generally being her jolly self, and not complaining abt the pain at all. i miss her :o(
ok well, i guess the blog needed a change so i went for it. unfortunately, the font colours that i used for the other template limit my choices for new templates...so i'm going to go ahead and use the darker templates until i'm far enough away from the light fonts so that i can open up more options for me to choose from. don't know if that makes any sense at all, but whatev. also, the time from here on will represent GMT -5:00, but the timings for the previous blogs will remain messed up.
right now, i only have the energy to blog...i peaked at the hour and a half i spent working this morning...hehe. stupid blogger pissing me off, though, cuz it won't let me post pictures :(
it's a new beginning ;) happy valentine's day all!! xoxoxoxo
limit to patronization
ok, i like my housemates. so this isn't really anything personal, but one of them seems to get to me now and then...and it's only been 3 wks that i've been living here.
it's the russian girl. i don't know what it is about me that makes her feel like she can patronize me. the first time it happened was that she called me to show me what they use to clean the bathroom. I cleaned the bathroom after i moved in. i don't think they'd cleaned it for weeks. anyway, so she calls me to the bathroom and starts showing me all the brushes and things...shows me this brush they use for the tub and says, 'did u use this brush to clean the toilet?' what the hell man??? i KNOW which brush to use for the toilet! and she talks to me in a tone like i'm a child...i absolutely hate it when ppl do that...like i don't understand english or understand what she's saying...
this was about 2 weeks ago. and then last night, our landlady called and spoke to her, saying that the washing machine had broken and the reason was a piece of underwire. so my housemate is telling me and the other housemate about this talk and after she's done, she turns to me and says, 'do u know what an underwire is?' are u f-ing kidding me??? i've been in this country longer than u have dear, and i've probably been wearing underwire bras from years before you. just REALLY annoyed me. is it cuz i'm brown that she thinks i'm ignorant of what AN UNDERWIRE IS?!? she had a really long conversation with the landlady...they probably assumed among themselves that the little brown girl did it for all i know...and i haven't even done laundry for almost 2 weeks! which means i was in serious need to do it today...but it'll just have to be handwashing the essentials. not really running out of clothes...just kind of running out of underwear...
hmm...so i guess this helps...venting always helps... *taking deep breaths*
i can adjust the time again to guelph, yay.
weekend adventures
well, it's not really all that exciting. i went to watch a movie by myself for the first time in my life...cuz i couldn't get my other half or anyone i knew to go with me on a weekday afternoon...and i had to watch harry potter and the goblet of fire so i just went! and it was fantastic! the merpeople scared me, and hermione was over-the-top as usual, but i thought the movie was good. the whole time during the journey to the imax theatre i was constantly thinking about what i was doing going to watch a movie by myself, never having done it before, but at the end of it all it was a very positive experience, and i have to say it was even empowering. i didn't find myself scurrying into the theatre trying to hide my face or anything and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. the fact that it was on a huge imax screen didn't hurt things at all.
and saturday night was super party night. i haven't danced like that in a while...heck, i haven't partied for over 4 months...that's half a year!! sketchy new year's party in sheraton, dhaka does not count. good clubbing experience has to do with good music, a good atmosphere and of course good company, and all was good this saturday at guvernment. had a super duper time!
of course, as usual, i don't want to go back to work. but dr. d might not like that too much.
