Merry Christmas!

Belated! But! Yay Christmas!

December's been quite the crazy month.

We're got so many damn sweets as Christmas gifts at work from the members. I horded all the Rocher. Victory.

Well, I've dropped my phone TWICE on the pavement now. Its one side's all chipped (it keeps falling on that one side)... it makes me cry everytime I see it. I think it's gradually suffering from the side effects now...

Oh, I watched King Kong the other day. Not my kind of movie; I didn't like it.

Christmas Eve dinner was spent eating by myself because of work. ;_; Leftovers of the family's roast beef dinner. At least it was yummy ;___;

Christmas day was unbelievable... I was finally able to go to church after 4 months! The only stores that were open were the Chinese stores and it was *packed*. We decided to go to Aberdeen because of a few other things we had to buy there. The main dim sum restaurant was flooded with people, literally. The wait for a table was an hour plus... not surprised... Soo, we made our way to the restaurant just next to it. Its specialty was hotpot but it served dim sum in the morning. The retail stores there were also squirming with crazy shoppers who wanted the discounts the stores had (for Christmas?). Oh did I mention parking was a bitch? Supposedly you'd think there'd be plenty of room in the Aberdeen parking lot (dude, 3 giant floors of parkade!) but it was so bloody packed (not to mention the swarms of HORRIBLE drivers), finding parking was rather difficult as well. We quickly fled as soon as we did everything we had to do there and headed back to Vancouver. We dropped by this lady's place who sold really beautiful handmade jewelry. She would apparently invite a bunch of guests over at a time to show her display of whatever featured or new jewelry up for sale. Some of the things there were pretty amazing. I picked up a pair of earrings myself! Afterwards, we visited my grandma and grandpa's grave to give our salutations. We headed to my relatives' place for dinner that night. Double roast beef! Well at least both chefs cook the meals differently. After the awsome dinner, I met up with Elie, Simon and Mike to watch Memoirs of a Geisha. That place, too, was crowded. We ran a bit late so all the good seats were already taken. We had no choice but to split up. Then I had to sit with the most annoying girl who gawked, "What stupid people come to the movies with their friends and not sit together?" And I was like.. uh, excuse me... is that directed to me bitch? D:< Well of course I didn't say it aloud to her so I just tried to ignore her for there rest of the movie. The movie was pretty good though... it's a shame I didn't read the book beforehand. After the movie, we searched for a place to chill for burbletea. We watched Leo Koo/Ku (sp? ;[) and his fishnet mask and Andy Lau dancing with his creepy garbage bin lids. [/insidejoke]

My highlighted Christmas presents this year... PSP (to myself, from myself), DKNY bag (from mom, chosen by me and her), $100 cash (from grandpa overseas), and Magna Carta (from bro, picked out and UP by myself -_-; but I have no PS2 right now so I can't play anyways..).. Actually, wait, that's my BIRTHDAY gift cuz I told him to get that for me a ways back and it's finally out now so :B... his actual Christmas gift to me, that I requested, isn't available until January 10th, which is Wild Arms 4. I even got my birthday present planned too! Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out in March, isn't that just perfect? :D The timing's awsome~ <3

Hm! I'm trying to get my hands on a Teal/Purple DS but apparently it's been out since November and yet I've never even seen it anywhere since its release. It's a limited edition colour as well, so I think it has already become a rarity anyway. The Seiken Densetsu: Children of Mana screens are making me itch to buy the DS... Oh well, I've still got time before that comes out here. Maybe some other crazier colours will appear...

Work conditions haven't improved since our meeting. I got this bad feeling that it isn't going to go the way we hoped it'd be...

Ugh I just realized I still got so much backlogged stuff to do.

ORBITAL MANEUVER phase 1: geotaxis

一人だけで空を見上げながら
忘れられた細い道を歩く
小さな雲が遠くに見えた

いつからか　時間は止まっていた
いつの間にか　誰もいなくなった
季節もやがって　いろ無くした

行くと拾うか　ここではないどこかへ
あの空の彼方

聞こえるか　泣いている渡り鳥の声
感じるか　眠ってる魚達の夢
いつまでも咲いている　白い夏の花
終わらないこの日をずっと　歩いてゆく

誰もいない駅に辿りついた
一人だけで電車止まっていた
その線路は赤く錆付いてた

帰ると秘奥が　ここではないどこかへ
あの空の彼方

旅人よ　そこには何が見えているのか
旅人よ　そこには何待っているのか忘れるな
世界はこんなにもう静かで
終わらない　どこまでもずっと続いてゆく

築かなかった　とても小さなことを
無くしたぐらい見つけてゆく

聞こえるか　泣いている渡り鳥の声
感じるか　眠ってる魚達の夢
いつまでも咲いている白い夏の花
終わらないこの日をずっと　歩いてゆく

Funny how you'd never really pay attention to lyrics sometimes until you actually romanize it.. or in this case, just write it out...

I swear I'm just going through transliterating withdrawal...

I'm about to cry

I dropped my phone on the pavement.

I hate dust.

So I tried to put on my screen protector for my PSP but because I suck at putting it on, dust keeps getting trapped in! I'm using tape like a mad woman but still no good. I even tried the shower trick! No good... I'll try again in the morning... outside this time. The bad thing about outside is that you can't see the dust so I wouldn't know if there were any or not! Man this sucks. I'm too much of a perfectionist. Watch me end up buying another one...

So the hotel has shut down. Every night so far's been eerie quiet. Our training was pretty much bull since nothing was exactly taught. More free time but... feel more insecure instead due to the dead silence and darkness creeping in from the windows.

I denied help from Akuram in the beginning of HaruToki2 so I hurt my butt from falling from the dream. Mmm... this game's so amusing. Man, I need a walkthru though. Be nice to the bad guy or not?

Oh yeah, I went boarding the first time this season last Saturday. It... could of been better. Everything was nasty chunky and icy up at Cypress. We ended up splitting into multiple groups due to different needs but we managed to meet up at the end so it was all good. Next trip might be this upcoming Monday but I don't want to rush back to work so I think I'll pass...
