With what do i go on?

Clazziquai Project – 라푼젤 (rapunzel)

i was sitting in the car waiting for it to warm up, and I wanted to take a really cool picture of looking into the rear view mirror. it failed obviously, probably would need an assistant to help with this picture.

summer is moving too fast, the things that i was doing last week i am no longer doing (i.e. job hunting) but i’m still working hard on my korean lessons. Although, i must say, progress has declined almost to a halt. i was so proud of myself, as was my tutor, with my speed in learning hangul. it was really really fast, a lot faster than when i learned hiragana. (tooting my own horn, well IT IS my blog) i mean, i have a pretty good grasp of the vowels and the consonants, but when i read it’s like … “ah n ? eyon ha se yo..” Oh …

and now we’ve started with a bit of grammar, it’s not mind blowing, because it’s similar to japanese. and we all know how good my japanese is (2.5 years of studies, 3 months of living in japan, and fully relying on subtitles when watching stuff)../fail whale../

but still, the only thing i’ve had little trouble in my studies was languages and history. History won’t get me too far, so i’ll rely on my language skills. Well except for french, but i think its mostly because french culture doesn’t interest me very much, also was scared of my professor..but, learning french was still relatively easy, if i bothered to try … or i was too busy studying the BIG THREE (phys/bio/chem)

but, i’ve still studied french for FIVE /..counts../ FIVE years.

je m’appelle emma, comment ca va?

ca va bien, et toi?

the end.

hahahahahahaha, kidding, i know a bit more than that, not a LOT more though.

i’ve lost the point of this post, the fish is shiny no?

well this post was suppose to be talking about my lack of direction in my future, please understand that i’m trying not to screw my life up right from the start, aka right from graduating. i want to do well. i really want to do well. but i dont know what i want to do well in.

should i just run away forever?

Good bye to a friend i’ve never met

So, the nexus one, it’s completely sold out, it will never be available for sale directly through google again.

(but then again, never say never, especially when it’s a ‘business decision’)

Let’s take a moment, to remember a great phone, a fantastic OS, and most of all, an unlocked wavelength.

You had the best OLED screen I have ever seen, I hope we can meet again,

in better circumstances

I think it’s fate, that we aren’t together now

I promise to continue your legacy and buy an android powered phone,

you’ll be greatly remembered and sorely missed

So what happened was, I was waiting for an OK to charge my dad’s credit card, since we live in Canada, it’s a lot easier to charge a US credit card. So I got an OK the night before but I decided to buy it the next day. In the morning, I had a meeting, so after my meeting, I came home, scrolled through engadget, and it’s sold out.

My friend has this phone, and she was really excited for me to get it too. I’ve disappointed her too!

edit: i hope your future descendant: the HTC 1 will get made

RED & BLUE

So what’s in these pouches??

I normally don’t like these types of shoes simply because their fit SUCKS, they always slip off and aren’t the comfortable alternative they were meant for. But these! THESE, are amazing, they are comfortable, and super cute. They come in a variety of colors but I decided on red and blue. I wanted black too but it was sold out in no time. These are from GAP and since I get discounts there, two pairs isn’t that bad

I also got these boots (?) on sale from Zara, they are so cuteee and comfortable, they look slouchy and lazy which is the words you would find if you looked me up on wikipedia, I don’t have a wikipedia page but I can’t imagine myself being in the dictionary, i’m arrogant but not delusional.

i’m going to skip off and sing “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” now, shoes are pretty VIP in my book too.

Mountain? climbing? (foreign words to me)

On Tuesday, I did something called The Grouse Grind and is apparently termed “nature’s stair master“. I HAVE DONE THE STAIR MASTER BEFORE and it’s not like that at all, for one thing, you don’t try to hang on to dear life throughout the trip.

I have tons of sneakers, but actual sneakers for stuff like this? Zero pairs, lol…! this is the only pair I thought would work, Nike 6.0 for children, because i have tiny feet. They are actually skating shoes, so very thick and quite comfortable and i thought if i fall, the padding might help.

I’ve done this trail once before, in grade 9 or 10 so that was 6 or 7 years ago. I almost died that time, and I almost died this time.

At first, it was okay, not smooth sailing, but it was okay. But after 15 minutes, I started with the “are we there yet..” (to give you an idea, it took me 2 hours to get to the top). So i’m taking a lot of breaks in between, this is actually a pretty bad idea since I loose all will to go on. And did I mention I have a fear of going down stuff, e.g. stairs, hills, ridiculous trails like this. So basically I was stuck, I can’t really quit half way because the only way to go is UP.

There are some man built steps but I used my hands and arms to good use. I was literally ‘climbing’.

As we headed to the top, the number of mosquitoes also increased. when I still had energy, I attempted to swat them away, but later on, sure, go in my mouth, attack my arms, I don’t really care..(sorry that was gross). Yeahhh, no matter what. I still made it to the top.

One thing really helped me to get through all of this was a compilation of music I downloaded to help me study.

It’s called MUSIC FOR WINNERS, and it really is more appropriate for stuff like this.. (I didn’t make it, someone else did, but i am willing to share). Here’s the track list:

01 Montage (Team America World Police)
02 Gonna Fly Now (Rocky)
03 Your the Best Around (Karate Kid)
04 Fight To Survive (Bloodsport)
05 Break The Ice (Rad)
06 Push it to the limit (Scarface)
07 Eye of the Tiger (Rocky III)
08 Thunder In Your Heart (Rad)
09 Higher and Higher (Wet Hot American Summer)
10 Change (Vision Quest)
11 The Touch (Transformers)
12 Now You’re A Man (Orgazmo)
13 Take It Higher (Over the Top)
14 The Final Countdown
15 Turn Me Loose
16 Never Surrender (Kickboxer)
17 Winner Takes It All (Over the Top)
18 Danger Zone (Top Gun)
19 Far From Over (Staying Alive)
20 The Moment Of Truth (Karate Kid)

LOL, good job and thank you
Felt like I was making my own montage.

But, all in all I made it to the top!!! Took two whole hours, but I made it.

My friends want to go again next week, ehhhh…? maybe.

(the first pic makes me look like I have weird legs and I don’t shave, not TRUE ON ALL ACCOUNTS! lol…)

I (A)MSTUFF HAPPENS, KEEP LIVING
