Thought I'd experiment a little, so as not to waste these roses. They've been such troopers. Anyway, I remember being taught that you can dry out roses & preserve them in their original form (kinda like Vampires), by hanging them by the stem for a couple of days. Well, tape works too (I didn't have strings). Taped them to my, uh.. window. I suggest hanging/taping them in a more appropriate place - one where people won't give you a questioning look stare. & I bound them with rubberbands as well, so the petals would stay in place. If these guinea pigs do dry to perfection, I'm turning the rest into Vampires too.

Hope my roses age with grace, x

Been listening to Charlie Brown by Coldplay on repeat, & I guess I was boliao enough to read up on the meaning of the lyrics, just cause I was thaaat interested to know its interpretation. At the same time, I'm plagued by the depressed feeling that I seemingly can't shake off, all due to my childishness of wanting to see a concert where the prices of the damn tickets (even the cheapest ones) just raped my eyes, & literally did a double take. I know I shouldn't be this unhappy, I'd get over it though. But I guess it's basically similar to looking forward to something for the longest time, & when it's finally right here in front of you, you just.. can't have it. Yea, it really isn't an amazing feeling, so. #such is life.

       Thought I'd insert a b/w picture here, just cause I always think that b/w pictures seem more sophisticated, & my blog is really lacking in that aspect right now. or actually maybe always has been.. but can you not let me superficially Try to up it at the very least?! & I should probably insert a meaningful quote.. let's see.. ♥

Isobel came all the way from Cali to visit us in Toronto. I'm amazed, because.. srsly, who gives a shit about Canada, ha ha ha. I mean, especially people from Cali, where they have the best weather, best parties, (relatively) best schools, etc. People do indeed grow, but I guess that you don't really notice it until you're with someone whose known you from the past. On an entirely different & unrelated note, I think "friends" who just ring you up only when they need something can't really be considered Friends, can they? (damn, I sound so childish)


I was actually bent on abandoning this space, but somehow or another, I returned to this isolated lonely space again :( I have attachment/abandonment issues. #foreveralone

Of all the moments that pass us by, only certain ones stick with us.
Every part of us is made from a collective of experiences we might even want to erase.
But it's what makes us who we are.

This was taken while we were about to sit on Disneyland's Space Ranger ride.

 

Even though I'm pretty disappointed that I don't get to visit Taipei during Winter break, I guess I haven't seen these two idiots in a long time :) So going to Vancouver over Winter isn't that bad. At least I get to go skiing. I miss Cali ^ We bought annual passes to Universal Studios Hollywood there. I wonder when we'll actually get to go back to use it. Soon, I hope.

I love the picture above, looks so old-school & candid. On an entirely different note, Facebook was really entertaining today because of this group's crazy dramatic posts..

Learning & Plasticity. is a really go-flip-yourself course.

I have 2 tests on the day of this test (Sociology & that ^), followed by a Psych Stats year-end assignment due the very next day. So.. I'm gonna start studying in advance. I wanna be prepared for a test for once. My preparation for my first round of midterms didn't go too well. Think along the lines of.. studying for 3 out of 5 chapters on average for each test? & one chapter is like 40-50 pages of content /: This isn't like high/secondary school anymore :'( where you could get away without studying. But thank God (seriously seriously seriously) that my immense lack of preparation didn't reflect in my results, or I'd have been really screwed over. On a proud (eh im srsly damn proud of it okay) note, I scored a 4.0 for two of my subjects :) the rest were B-range, but that's fine - since my grades were pretty undeserving. I know if I keep this horrible slack attitude up, I'm gonna start failing with regret.

(Tim Hortons on Bloor w one of my favourite people. We wear Tired on our faces)

I'm not sure if I read too much into things, or analyze a little too closely. For the most part, it has kept me well (yet punched me in the gut several times). Ever so rare, I see the thin traces you leave behind for many things unsaid. & I'm not entirely certain on how I should respond. But for now, I'm worn - I will give you the benefit of the doubt; I'll keep mum.
