My weekend was full of adventures. First, let's start on Friday. I called a car deal that I found on autotraders and said I will meet at his house and I found out it was at Mississauga. -_-" But oh well, I still went with my dad and Mike's dad to check it out. It was an old Romanian man trying to sell a 2002 Honda Civic. Everything looked alright and we said we'll come back to check it out the next day when he gets everything fixed up and perfect. I went back on Saturday to test drive it with Mike and his dad and after hours of decision-making, we decided to buy it. It was going for $7300. We signed an agreement and I got all the paper that I need to bring to the Ministry. That very same night, Mike's dad told us that Mike's aunt is able to give me her 1998 Toyota Corolla for free because she will be buying a new car that same week. I was like WTF?!?! Now you tell me? She said that she didn't know that my car broke down and she can buy a new car now other than waiting until next year. That night they were teaching me how to cancel the transaction with the old man and I felt bad. I don't know why. I felt bad that I had to cancel the transaction when we all agreed on it and all after 2 days spent in Mississauga. I then called the old man to see where he's at and when he'll be home because I knew he was at a party that very same night. He told me that he's not at home and that he's at Scarborough. Those were music to my ears that night. I said I needed to see him right away and he said okay and gave me the address to the place. I made another agreement and brought it with me along with the papers. I explained to him that I had to cancel the transaction because the car had been rebuilt and my family didn't like that. I just kept on bullshitting then. He said it was alright and he wanted me to be happy and all so he didn't hesitate and just signed the new agreement. I was really relieved. Then Sunday comes. My phone rang and I was surprised to see that he was calling me. He said that he wanted to talk to me and was wondering if I can answer a few questions. It wasn't about the car because he had sold it already. This was how the conversation went:

John: How old are you?
Me: 21
John: Are you working or going to school?
Me: I'm going to school.
John: Where?
Me: At Seneca.
John: Oh okay, I want you to meet my son.
Me: What do you mean? You want to introduce your son to me?
John: You don't have to answer me now, think about it and I'll call you back later.
Me: Why do you want me to meet your son?
John: I really like you, I want my son to meet somebody like you. Think about it, you don't have to answer me now.
Me: JOHN! I have a boyfriend already. The guy that came with me the other day was my boyfriend.
John: Oh, well if you have a boyfriend then I wish you good luck.
Me: Thank you.

By this time I was thinking to myself, is this for real?!?!?!? Haha. That is the weirdest thing that I have ever happened to me. I've only seen his son once. All I knew about him was that he's a policeman (1st year) and also studying Computer Science. Well that was my weekend adventure. Now I just have alot of things to do before I can successfully change the corolla onto my mom's name (cheaper insurance). I'll try to keep on posting. =P

I know it seems like I've disappeared off the face of the Earth, or maybe you girls didn't notice. But I just wanted to say that I lost my cell phone in Montreal so no one is going to answer if any of you try to call.

Not sure when I'm getting new phone, up to the crown of my head in debts right now. Email's the best way right now. Work email is even better: lseto@idccanada.com

Ladies, I've been so stressed over the past month with my car trouble. Money is tight now. My internet is screwed up and had unstable connection for the past week. My dad got into a car accident on his brand new 2007 car that is only 1/2 a year old. It's not crashed that bad...just that it's not perfect anymore. My dad was hurt, I can see that in his eyes. *sigh* I felt so bad for him.

I've been looking at used cars on autotraders.ca and I found some good deals. But dammit, good deals go away so fast!! I want to check it out the next day but the ad was down already! I've got to act fast on that. I'm gonna be checking out hopefully a couple of cars tomorrow. Hopefully there aren't any buyers for them yet. My car is officially down. It died on Mike the other day, luckily he was only trying to park it and wasn't driving it. Wish me luck girls! I really need it because everything is just going downhill for me for the past couple of months.

Little Black Dress Party

I know planning is the hardest part and i know we would all like to see eachother again this summer. So i'm just gonna throw out an idea, tell me what you think.
Some of us have been talking about having a Little Black Dress Party. For location, what do u guys think about the Panorama? Sometime mid-august? If not, suggestions would be great!

Shannon & Tee made CUPCAKES from scratch

Red... Green... Blue... Turquoise... Purple... Orange... Pink... =) All the colours that we made!

Ahhh... finally, the cupcake kingdom =) where all the pretty cakes go

See the icing bowls... it took us the longest to make the actual icing for the cupcakes LOL sooo sugary!!! =)

All in all a FUN sleepover! =) *high five* thi!

I know I haven't been blogging as much as I should. So here I am!
I have been busy with a ton of things lately, collecting phone numbers, setting up my new computer (19 inch widescreen lcd monitor!! it looks amazing) and dealing with my beat up car. I'm kind of giving up on my current car now, thinking if I should buy either a pretty new but 2nd hand car or just a brand new one. Problem is, I won't be working when school starts. I can buy a brand new one if I were to have a part time job but that's no guarantee at the moment. =( So those are the negative things that have been stressing me.

Last weekend it was me and Mike's 1 year anniversary. He said to me that he was going to take me to his friend's Indian restaurant for dinner but then he brought me to CN Tower. I STILL believed him that we were going to the Indian restaurant when I saw CN Tower. What an idiot I am. =P

That's it for now, more later, me tired. zzzzzZZzZZZz

Fat Cow by Anne

Day at work...

Yesterday I went into work 10 minutes late; as soon as I saw the supervisor sitting at her desk I knew she was gonna give me a good bitching. I apologized, explained that I missed that bus and said I’ll try to call in advanced if it happens again. She wasn’t pleased. She examined me up and down and said pull down your shirt, make sure I don’t see any skin. I was wearing dress pants, heels, white v-neck t-shirt and a blazer over it. But I guess as I was running into the branch my t-shirt rided up and I exposed some skin around my hip so I pulled down my shirt apologized again and thought that it was the end of it. So all morning things went okay, served customers did what I had to, went for lunch came back, my other supervisor went up to me and told me my manager had called for me and told me to call her back when I had the time. I called the office and a girl picked up, I told her im returning a call from Maggie, (my manager) she told me to wait, the girl comes back on the line and says in a serious tone, So I understand you were late this morning, I thought “fuck” she called my manager to complain? I thought, okay It was my fault so I’m gonna take it. the girl continues.. “so what did you wear to work today? Santa (supervisor bitch) said that she thought that you were dressed inappropriately.” It was after then that I lost it. I was thought, what a fucking bitch. I wore a fucking blazer, and it’s the summer! If anyone is dressed inappropriately, its her, she frigging wore a low cleavage tops, tight pants and these heels that are at least 4 inches high lacey and kinda of see through, it looked like shoes that girls in porno movies would wear. Shes in her 40s or late 30s, wears too much make up and lip stick and…. she’s FAT, YES SHES FAT! I know im mean but I don’t give a shit. Hahah (sorry for all the swearing). So if anyone was to complain, it should be me, because I have to work in a professional environment with a fat ugly cow. She hates me.. she never liked me i knew it. but i never knew she would be so low as abusing her power like that. And i swear im not being paranoid...

To be continued… I have to sleep now, working at the same branch tomorrow morning so I have to make sure I’m the first one there so she can’t use anything against me

Greatest Week Ever!

This week was quite a good week! I spent mon-fri at church helping out at the yearly summer camp that we hold for kids from 4-12yrs old.

Myself and three others were in charge of the grades 1-2. They were SUPER cute! From Monday to Friday they were honestly attached to me... tickling me... trying to get a piggy back ride from me... talking to me... they were just too cute! Every day was an adventure with them, especially because one kid was probably a.d.d. because she couldn't stay still. One day I almost had to send a lil boy home because he was caught swearing and he refused to say sorry... then started balling his eyes out. But, in the end he apologized and stayed =).

Then, Friday evening after church I went to my friend's cottage with a bunch of other ladies! We had quite the girls' nite weekend! We watched chick flicks... they wake-boarded (which is like snow boarding but on water)... and i went water tubing!! It was SO FUN!! Then when we were returning home tonite, one car ran out of gas!!! So we had to leave her car in an empty parking lot and searched for gas with the other cars. LOL it was so fun and funny!

=) ALSO - I think i posted earlier and said that i'll be free for the next long weekend, but I actually will be out of town. Cuz, originally i was going to not go away due to lack of money to pay for the trip. But, my wonderful boyfriend, said he'd cover me if i can't pay for the trip! woohoo!!! Thank GOD! LOL Francis actually referred to himself as the "wonderful boyfriend" when he was saying that to me! =)

Ok - see you later ladies!

Seto

Alright, so as much as I'd hate to say it, I guess I'd have to say it. I got Facebook. There, I said it.
I'm ready for the I-told-you-so's.

Shanno, I salute you for keeping this up. Damnit, I feel so weak.

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill."I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed theworried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope.Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brainyourselves.."The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a greatlength of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for afemale brain."The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoidingeye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyonewanted to ask,"Why is the male brain so much more?"The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entiregroup, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used."

Seto

Well I hope everyone is having fun with their lives right now.

Mya
- can't wait to see the place, I'm sure you'll make it look great

Shirbo
- makes me not wanna get a car, oh but the convenience!
- electronics...here's how I see it: Laptop and desktop, will probably help with school but quite a lump sum depending on what you want in it. NDS, if you want to concentrate on school, you're gonna have a hard time if you get one. But that little devil is so much fun! And not that expensive.

Shanno
- good luck on your interview today
- hope you get that job since it's something new

I just found out yesterday that I have a comrade at work! A temp worker we hired, who I happen to know from Queen A - I know, such a small world - feels the same way I do about my supervisor. I realized that I'm not the only one she makes feel stupid. I think it's a skill of her's. She can make anyone feel stupid with her "I don't care, just get it done" attitude.

Hope to see you girlies soon!

Shanno

Well it's been the same every week now for a month since i've been back from Bolivia an interview a week. =) Got another one tomorrow, still looking for the right job. =) LOL or A job.

i can't wait for our next outing!

shirley - hope your car gives you less headaches
mya - have fun decorating your own place! it's exciting!

shirbo

i haven't been online for the longest time...and it after coming onto this blog...i've been updated with all of your lives! hahaha simone...as for that note...i'm apologizing on behalf of my cousin...but i seriously do not know what kind of dilemma she is getting herself into but i'm just embarassed with her actions...she's been saying the same things to me and my sister...i don't think there's anything you can say or should say to her...if you want to be nice..just say something nice...but if she is offending you in any way...try not to bitch back at her even though i sometimes do that to her...it'll just push her over the edge and recently she does not seem like she is stable at all...(no idea why) but i'm sorry once again =S

i have been so occupied with fixing my car lately that i have no time whatsoever to have fun...=S so stressed with that and then when that is finally done...i realized that i'm short on money..even though i work and all but once school starts...the whole chunk of money that i have will be gone in a flash...o.O i've been itching on buying a new electronic...a laptop, a desktop or a nds....what do u guys think? i reallly want to invest on something like that but don't know if it's a wise idea...=S

summer's already here and we have 2 full months of fun ahead of us.....right??!? haha as what mya said..when's the next time we're going to get together? probably we'll have a bbq at mya's place once her basement's finished...*wink wink* hehe we can do that...or we'll spend a weekend at wasaga? how does that sound? i'd like that...anyway...it's getting late...i hope i'll be seeing u girls soon

Mya

Hey y'all lovely ladies. When are we all getting together again?

I haven't post a blog in a very long time because my life has come to a complete stop at the moment. Nothing interesting really, the same old. I really need to start working again, i miss being occupied and i definitely wouldn't mind some extra spending money. Oh wait..., I have been productive, I've been renovating alfred's basement. I'm pretty sure all of u guys know that i've been living with alfred for over 3 years now. We were living with his parents, his brother and sister inlaw. Our plan was to purchase our own place within 2 years. But unfortunately i'm no longer working and alfred is the only one bringing home the bacon..lol.
and his brother just recently bought his own place and moved out. Alfred really wanna live in a brand new house so he tried to convince his parents to sell this current house and get a new one. His parents doesn't drive so they find it more convient for them here...easy access to the public transit. I obviously wouldn't mind living in a brand new house but i thought about it, his parents are not young anymore, they're already in their 70s. So i managed to convince alfred to just put our plan aside and spend us much time with his parents as possible. He agreed to it, so that's why we're renovating his basement so at least we have a little place we can temporarily call our own... a little private nook...which also means i can have you girls over if u want. I think we're gonna be buying a 40'+ lcd screen so we can karaoke and sip wine =)...i'm kinda excited...keep you girls posted if you're interested

HAPPY CANADA DAY GIRLS !!
