I'm at home relaxing, listening to my iPod and waiting for my corn to cook.
Just got back from sq1 from mailing my thank u cards to acs.

I'm still around....
12:47 AM

It's been a while since I've written in my blog. A lot of things have changed, things have evolved and my bonds with my friends are stronger than ever.

The month of July has been the CRAZIEST EVER! I've been to about 18 job interviews via agencies and companies. The currently company I'm working for is the company I didn't apply for. How IRONIC! Tomorrow would be my 2 weeks and 2 days there. Unfortunately, I'm not going to work because of a lung infection. I took a visit to my doctor this afternoon and turns out I wasn't going crazy. I had shallow breathing with back aches and a slight fever. I went home and passed out until 8 pm.

This friday is Chris' birthday. I still don't have a clue what dish to make. Hmmm... I should ask my cousin for advise.

Anyhow, tomorrow morning, I also have an interview with ACS. We'll see how that goes. I honestly don't know where my life is headed and I feel like I'm just jumping around too much. If I don't get this job with ACS, I've made a promise to stick to CS. We'll just have to see what my fate is tomorrow.








Still awake at 5 am!!

Well, my sleeping pattern really sucks! I haven't been "sleeping" at all for the last few days.
Ever since waking up at 3 in the morning then sleeping again at 1 pm.. it hasn't been the same.

I can't believe I haven't written anything in this blog for months.
A lot has happened.

In October, I got laid off. What can I say... it's a break that I wanted. Some people may be upset or stressed that they got laid off.. but the day they came to me with the news, I was the fastest person to get out of there. I was laughing and singing on the way home. I still remember the day. The sun was shining down on my face will driving home a 5 km distance.

November, I joined forces with Mike at PG. There's not much I can say except that it didn't work out.

January came and we celebrated Jeff's birthday at Blue Mountain.

February - I'm loving my life even more and just trying to take care of myself specially with my health problems.

March is here and new things are springing out. I've recently applied for a booth in Harbour Front to persue the food industry. I've decided to get into making gourmet poutines. Since Mic brought me Smoke's Poutinery. I figured.. WHY NOT? There's no better time than NOW!

Last night, Mango saw his little girlfriends. We walked upstairs to Alyssa's house to see Xena and Khloe came after.
Khloe was so in love with her rabbit Zues. She was going crazy and kept by the crate, wagging and making some funny noises.
Watched The Hills and went home after.

(L-R) Khloe, Xena and Mango


Mango was falling asleep my the foot of the couch.
I'd call his name but he would just ignore me.
I'd say it a few times and still, his eyes would start to close.
I said Khloe's name and his head jerk right up and his eyes are fully OPEN!
We'd stare at each other, then he'd go back to falling asleep.
Again, I'd his name and no response.
I said Xena's name. Same time. His eyes are fully open.

I did to him a couple of times and got a few good laughs.
I know... it's mean.

Last Friday - September 25- I got home and had some serious time alone with my laptop and a mission to get my website up and running. I figure it wasn't going to hard, and afterall, there's YOUTUBE. Yes.. Youtube! The official guide to everything. - With visual aid! :D

Sat on my couch from 8 pm until 7 am til to figure out how to connect my FTP site to post my stuff. I was already completely lost with just trying to figure out what language I'll be writing the damn site.

Saturday came and I made it worse. Now there's an error on my page and it's blank.
Sat back on my couch at 1 pm and tried it again... Finally... on Sunday.. it worked.

All I have is a sign that says... UNDER CONSTRUCTION and 1 picture! I'm awesome. So happy I even posted that!

www.mpixphotography.com is well on it's way.

Soon, I'll have more time building the other part of my photography business.

Too many things to work on and I'm just getting so tired.

Tuesday - 5 more days until I go on vacation. BUT... I have nowhere to go. I heard Cuba's weather isn't the greatest in October. FWAK! Ah well. If I don't go away. I'll just swim in my condo!




Wed, Thurs... and TGIF

Wednesday - Mango's play day with Khloe. They're so cute. Mango would try to nib on her ear while she ducks down to go for the legs. They jump, chase and roll on each other. 3 hours later and they're still at it.


Khloe & Mango - So happy together!



Thursday - It's my first time trying COLD STONE CREAMERY! I can't explain it.. it's just a different ice cream experience. It's on Lakeshore and Clarkson (Mississauga)


Mic and I met up with Krissie at Collosus for some Greek food. So good. Lots of food for the price. I treated them both to dinner because... just because. It was actually Kris' 1 year anniversary in their condo. CONGRATS to K&C!

I don't exactly remember what I did on Friday

*still thinkin*

.

.

Anyhow, on Saturday. Richel came over to get me at 9 am to go to a semimar for ACN.

It's another pyramid scheme. I'm really intrigue by their product because the amount of people that showed up at the convention centre was over 2000 people. Wow. I just can't believe how people believe in these great rich quick scheme! I always try to keep an open mind about things but it's just not the right time for me. I'm too busy and I know if I do it, it won't be my passion.


Back to Friday, I think (not sure) I went to Brian's house.

I seriously don't remember. I don't know why I always forget when I go there.


Sunday was Hazel's baptism. Jeff was the Godfather. Geeesh... my booboo is so popular.

Hazel held by Dave. Look at those tears.

He's also going to be the Godfather for EJ's kid on October 18.




Really? It’s Friday!

This week has been pretty weird. Felt like it went by so fast.
Today, I’ll be tutoring in North York. It’s been a crazy week so far.
The weather is gloomy out and I’d rather just stay in with Mango or take him to see
Xena or Kloe. I feel really bad that he hasn’t been out to the park in a while.
Besides, I have clean up the condo, do more picture editing and do another diaper cake for Maricris.

Man... it's been a crazy week. I'm seriously in need of a vacation.

2 weeks ago... Jeff and I went away to Windsor. Just a small road trip west. We've never been and just wanted to go. He said he was off and wanted to go somewhere. Meanwhile, I was hoping that he would surprise me. The day came and he hadn't planned ANYTHING! Hello.. it's the only time that he's off. SO... at 6 am, I got up and started calling around for car rental. I finally booked one and went back to bed. I hear Jeff on the phone at about 8 am and he's on the phone booking a place. He said he had a surprise and to help him get Mango ready. At first, I thought we were camping...


We drove off and he finally told me where... I'm glad that we brought Mango. I'd hate to see Mango all alone.

This past saturday... I shot Sandra and Andre's wedding. It was so BEAUTIFUL. This couple is amazing to work with. They love to do their own poses and they're a natural!

I can't believe that it's September 1st toady!
Just wanted to say - HAPPY 3 1/2 Years to my Booboo!

On more important issues... I've been in crisis ---or feels like I'm going through a mid-life crisis.
I look back at my life, how much fun I had, have so many caring and wonderful friends, parents that support me...etc... But there's always the other side of things. I'm not satisfied with just having enough. I'm more concerned about making it BIG out there. I've come up with several business ideas, but there's a particular one that I regret not doing anything about it.

Back in April after I left CMS, I had 2-3 business ideas that I told a few of my friends.
One of the idea I had, someone also came up with it and is now in Toronto. The more research I did on the company, the more I was angry for not moving with it. They made 1.5 MILLION in 7 months. ONE PERSON made that!!! I'm so depressed knowing it.. but maybe that business isn't for me.
