Graduation

I'm just waiting for my bro right now from his graduation dance. He just graduated from Grade 8 and I'm just proud of him. Honour roll just like his big bro. Anyway, I'm just too damn tired right now and I can't wait to go home and sleep. Tomorrow is a busy day. Have a goodnite people!

Peace of Mind and The Godfathers

I can honestly say that I've come at peace with myself because I've forgiven and let go of all the wrong doings of my enemies. It's an easy thing to say but it's even harder to do, but everyone deserves a second chance even if they don't ask for it. For years, I've had such a heavy heart for a certain individual and just the thought of forgetting what they had done to me never came to mind. For so long, I have wanted them to suffer as much as I suffered when they caused me such pain. But I didn't know how I would do this. I wasn't sure if it was worth spending a second plotting against them and planning my revenge. It was just recently that I found out the situation this individual was in and let me tell you that the severity of what they are going through, even I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Right there and then, my thoughts about this person changed from hating them to sympathizing them. The thoughts of trying to hurt them emotionally suddenly vanished and I just felt like I wanted to support them any way I can. I never imagined speaking to them, let alone trying to comfort them but fate, destiny, karma or whatever you may call it, has a funny way of bringing me closer to them. I've learned that life's too short to spend anytime hating/disliking anyone, so I'm just trying to be positive as best as I can.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that. Sorry for the lack of postings lately but hey it seems like I've been getting a number of visitors who have been choosing the 'Not Like' option for some odd reason. It's all good though.

On a happier note, I probably had the 2nd best date with the ladyfriend this past Friday. We first had breakfast at Cora's Breakfast & Lunch. I had this cinnamon toast looking thing with some sausages, egg and half a plate full of fruits (Note: I ate my first kiwi fruit and I am officially not a fan of it). After that, I took her to Riverwood Conservancy formerly known as Mississauga Garden Park. It's an amazing place to just look and admire nature. It kinda sucked because we were in nice clothing and you really need to wear something comfortable. We saw a number of wildlife from squirrels to chipmunks to a random doe we saw, which my girl acknowledged as "Bambi's mother"...yeah I know she died in the movie, but whatever, I'll give her that one. After that we went to No Frills to do my groceries and that whole experience made me realize how much I enjoy doing simple things with her. We finished in record time and we never missed an item on the list my mom gave me. Our last destination in Mississauga was at Kariya Park. The park honours the twin-city relationship between Mississauga and Kariya, Japan. I'll post pictures later so you guys can see the 'Japanese' tough to the park. We almost got attacked my a flock of Canadian Geese and I fully blame my girl for wearing a hot pink shirt that day because they looked like they were about to attack her. In that same day, we went downtown Toronto for an art exhibit at George Brown College. It wasn't my type of setting only because people seemed so sophisticated and whatnot. But yeah, we enjoyed ourselves and the food that was served there...hmmmmmm roast beef sandwich and smoked cheese. To end the night off we watched "He's Just Not That Into You" and man that movie is jokes. I didn't finish it and I've yet to borrow it from my girl to see what happens in the end. Definitely recommend that. Overall, I loved that day. It's definitely worth planning all of that.

Saturday night, I went to All Stars for some chicken wings. A couple of the Godfathers were there w/ their ladyfriends, the rest were MIA because they were at a graduation. But yeah, had a good time meeting Christina (you know who you are) and she's really nice to Flow, but hey I still have to run her through the screening process. I thought I would order just the regular Honey & Garlic flavoured wings but I thought I wanted to try something new (the ladyfriend insists that I try new things). I had what they called over there the 'Pandora's Box' and man, it's probably my 2nd favourite flavour after Honey & Garlic. The taste of it is pretty much like H&G but it had a nice spicy kick to it which is not too bad for me. We ended up reaching the graduation so some of the Godfathers were there (Rolando and VIP was still MIA) and I saw my girl along with our other friends. Overall a goodnight to spend with everyone. I couldn't miss another chill session because I've been MIA from all the other functions for the past week. Had to make this up to them.

You might be wondering who The Godfathers are. Funny thing is they don't know they're the Godfathers, I kinda just made it up today and it just stuck. Well it consists of MC, Flow, Franco, VIP, Rolando, Big K, AD3 and me. Just a bunch of us guys who grew up together and have created bonds throughout the years. There's a number of non-members who are affiliations but we'll discuss that later.

Sunday morning I went to the dentist with the family and I just had a filling done. Initially I thought I would've had my teeth cleaned but we didn't have much time because we got there at 10:30AM and we left at 1:00PM. So next time that's probably what I'm goin' to get done. We had Harvey's after, nothing too special about that. Sunday was just a beautiful day but it just felt nice being lazy and lying around. It was an okay Father's Day as well, but whatever it's just one of the marketing schemes that our society has embraced.

It's 11:19PM right now, I'm not sure what time I started posting because my friend gave me a call saying that they had broken up with their significant other. I don't want to go into too many details but I earnestly believe that they have done the best thing for them and their relationship. They have been talking to a 'potential' so the whole situation for them right now is pretty much bitter sweet.

So that's pretty much all for now. I'll post up pictures of our adventure and I'll try to upload more things in the future.

Until then, peace mofos.

Rise from the Ashes

Man, it's been quite a long time since I thought about updating this blog. I've been really really swamped lately, but I shouldn't complain because a friend of mine has decided to help me out with a project for work. I pretty much owe her a lot after what she's done for me. With that said, I've been very tired just because my work requires me to start at 3:30PM and end at 9:30PM. By the time I get home, I'm pretty much dead and have no energy to do anything. Except Sims 3. That game is addicting. I've only created one character (mine of course) and I'm already engaged so much. I hope it's not another World of Warcraft phase I'm going through.

In other news, I really want to get into Adobe's Creative Suite. I just find that it's such a good asset to have in today's workplace. Doesn't matter what field you're in, Photoshop/Illustrator users are on high demand. If you guys know of any good books (no not a 'Photoshop for Dummies' book), send it over my way.

I realized that I would not be able to get to where I am right now without my family, friends and God. Just had to plug that in.

Until then, God bless and Peace out mofos

Blood Test and Long Awaited Update

Woah, I feel like such a stranger to this. Sorry for the lack of updates. These past couple of days/weeks have been very hectic for me. Just the whole job transition from one department to another took a whole lot getting used to. From faster pace to something slower and more relaxing, I sometimes find myself not having enough to do. I talked to my manager about it and now he's given things to do. I'll talk more about my new job later because I'm currently in the lab about to a blood test done :S. Yeah, I'm just hoping nothing is wrong with me. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to make sure everything is functioning in your body. Until next time folks - I miss updating this thing, for real. Peace.

American Idol - Top 3 Result

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Oh man, I was feelin' a lot of anxiousness and excitement last night when A.I. was about to give out the results for Tuesday night's performance. When Ryan called Kris' name first, I just had a wonderful feeling of relief. One more week Kris, one more week. I felt sorry for Danny, but honestly, if he was in the top 2 with Kris, he would get murked! And although Adam may seem like the crowd/judge favourite, he can't measure up to Kris' down to earth swagger. No homo. But anyway, I have my money on Kris and even if he doesn't win, I'd still rather be a Kris fan than an Adam fan. Sure Adam's creativity is on a whole 'nother level (similar style to David Cook from last season) but damn, his voice is just annoying.

Kris (bottom left) and Adam (top middle) are the finalists.

I'm currently at work right now, counting down the days when I leave for my new position and not to mention my birthday. Just got paid today as well and I gotta thank God for getting me through the past couple of weeks. I'm contemplating about getting my DSi today, still hesitant but I think it's a go. Anyway, tonight is the season finale for Supernatural. I'm definitely stoked about watching it. I know it's going to be a while until the 5th season, but it's worth the wait. Guess I'll just watch all the episodes starting from the 1st season. I'm not sure where the show will go after next season. It's kind of hard to add anything else to the story, since they basically made their way to the main plot.
