my bf made this from scratch with fresh ingredients from the market. calamari, scampi, scallops. hmmmmm. that's why i'm fat as a pig these days!! eat well - live well.

cheers.

Genuine Gratitude.

Something happened to me recently that made me realize that there are a lot of little people out there who wait for any opportunity to pounce - injure - evicerate.

More importantly, it has made me appreciate the people around me who offer true friendship, empathy and acceptance. These people are a rarity in this world and I will make a special effort to never take their love for granted.

hard to believe that such a beautiful couple can experience heartache, pain, and rejection.

relationships can be really difficult - but they don't have to be.

a pic of yesterday's lunch feast.

I didn't end up taking a nap - instead i went golfing. Then i went to the best BBQ I've ever been invited to. And finally, drinks with friends.

Now it's 12h30am and I have to wake up in less than 6 hours for work and I feel bittersweet that my weekend is over.

I really love my job - but I also really love weekends. It's a perfect balance: 5 days of work and 2 days of rest. Each makes me appreciate the other. But somehow, I feel that summer in Montreal makes me love my weekends more.

if you read some of my posts from previous years, you'll notice as I just have that my written English has seriously deteriorated. vive le québec.

perfect sunday afternoon

this weekend has been great. really relaxed - eventhough i broke my curtain yesterday...

i'm finally working less and starting to enjoy life a bit more. we're currently making a feast for lunch.

home-made starbucks coffee
baguette
salami and goatcheese and avocado sandwiches.
soup
salad

then i'm going to take a nap and maybe watch some bollywood movies.

getting married!

...no, not me! but i found out one of my girlies in TO got engaged recently. it is great news!! i always used to wonder why people would leap into this next step of life because i never felt the urgency to do so. however, the more i live, the more i realize that "seize the day" means different things for different people. i really admire my friend who is venturing into this next step of life - i am sure she will do it with style.

unfaithfulness

i broke an oath that i took since the beginning of this summer...not to shop too much. today out of sheer boredom - i was super naughty and bought down an entire store! well not really - but i did do lot of damage. eek.

And just like that...my heart stopped.

Last night I got some scary news about my dad. He's okay now. but for a moment, my heart stopped.

skin crawling suicidal boredom

i'm deliriously happy...and yet totally bored out of my mind at the same time. I wonder why this always happens to me. It seems that i just can't accept normalcy. or routine...

*************

remember how i lose things? well recently it has been completely crazy. i've lost keys to my vehicle, my credit card, my favorite bobbi brown lip gloss, my office pass, important documents, the list goes on and on and on...

i bet you i'll lose my new blackberry soon...then it would be a disaster.

my dad calls me a crackberry cause i'm addicted to it. i mean - i can surf the net, talk on the phone, read work emails, look at my agenda and play Brickbreaker on one little machine!

just one comment of disastifaction - why "blackberry" why not "strawberry" i would be much happier if it were hot pink.

boyz can be biatches too.

so i recently found out some old gossip about me circa 2001. i have no idea why but it really burned. some loser who biatched, contorted, distorted certain situations to his advantage.

anyways - it makes me realize how careful we have to be with our words.

i was going to rant more. but i got distracted by my new toy.

my company gave me a Blackberry. So it has an agenda, phone, and email all in one. except for looking like a fool while talking on a calculator-looking phone, i am obsessed with it. woohoo. toys are fun.
