resolutions revists

Sooooo, 2 weeks sinceI vowed to sleep more, how successful am I?
I'd like to say very, but thats a lie xD Good thing I'm usually in bed by 11:30. Bad thing is my goal is by 11, 30 whole minutes away.

Time to move onto stage 2: nothing new after 10:15pm.
This shouldn't be very hard, since my brain pretty much goes dead by 10. I'd usually be mindlessly finishing off hmwrk or randomly surfing the net.

go me go.

(also, I'd like to make it one of my goal to not seriously shop (more than 2 hours in mall, $20 or 2 items, whichever's less) from now until May. go shopping ban!

brunch: frans + shopping haul

Nice to have someone else make my brunch :] (the photo is a lie! you only get one pickle!)

Went to Frans (at College and Yonge) with Janice and Roy today, pretty nice place. Decor is all retro-y. I would have uploaded pictures, but we sat downstairs (roy: "why are they bringing food down to the washrooms?") which looked normal ._. Got pretty good seats though, right infront of the TV, watched a bit of the raptor's game before we left.

Afterwards, we headed to eaton for some shopping. Note to self: must resist temptation to spend at lush <_<" yeahhhh, that didn't go so well:


Came home with Cosmetic Warrior fresh mask and a sample of Vanishing Cream (man, the full size one is $35 e_e"). Also got the father frost soap (buy 1 get 2 free is still on! ha katty >D).

If that's not bad enough, I also hauled 4 books (plus 3 since Janice and I are sharing) from chapters. Omnivor's Dilemma, This Side of Paradise, The Portrait of a Lady, Anna Karenina, Vanity Fair, Moonstone, and The Awakening.

funny coincidence:
friend: hi
me: bad timing! dinner, see ya.
*I come back*
me: hi
friend: dinner, see ya! no lie.

tourist mode

I feel like a tourist everytime I visit downtown @_@"
There's just soooooo much architectural detail to be observed and admired. Darn my lack of talent in art.

Here's some that stood out (forgive my shaky hand)
Unprocessed as well. I'm much better at post production than actual photographing.







Above 3 are from the Ontario Legislative Building in Queen's Park. Went there on civics trip today, mucho fun haha.


My attempt at panning. This is a staircase in city hall.

i'm freeee

hurray.
got the bulk of my work over with!


found on xkcd

time to waste time~

another reason to be happy about: dad called and told me that my taobao order arrived *u* whoooo~ Can't wait to see my huge haul of summer dresses (I bought like 5 lol e_e") and green cardigan haha.

My summative for civics is one gigantic reflection.
Out of all possible things, why a reflection? whhhhhhhy. I actually rather have an exam.
*enter janice calling me crazy: reflections are so much easier than exams, gee!*

But due to my lack of expressive skills and more fundamentally, lack of an opinion, reflections for civics is insanely hard. It's interesting and all to learn about goverment and democracies, but I just don't feel strongly for any of the things we've discusses.

I don't want to just make crap up because a) it'll be bad but more importantly b) she's a cool teacher and I really did enjoy our lessons.
"t-th-that don't kill me can only make me stronger"

Gil is officially the awesomest person. (even though he cheated with google)
