Who knew?

There are times in life when we meet people though jobs, school, a friends house, or in random places like concerts, grocery store, online ... etc. We never really think much about how these people we meet will play a role in our lives at least not when we first meet them. Sometimes it turns out that from these unexpected meetings comes a long lasting friendship, or they may become that person you want to avoid talking to when you see them hallway of a shopping mall, perhaps they only stay as a mutual acquaintance that you have small talk with whenever you see them on the street, but sometimes just in a rare instance that meeting could lead to a date or a kiss and possibly a whole lot more... Who knew?

Maki weekend..

So this weekend was an all you can eat Maki eating weekend.
Most of my Saturday consumed by Christmas dance event and then the later part of the day was spent at work and after that I got my MAKI on ( in more ways than one)... I went out with a "friend" (*wink wink) and Wasabi man made an appearance and eventually Kikkoman drown him in his brown soy sauce. The night was ended with lots of snow, muff, office tour, silk teabags and late night dessert ;) Yum!


I spent Sunday with my ladies and a special appearance by my Gf who's currently living in Dubai ( Yes Mel, I wanna come visit, but I need cash). So we met up at Tim's and had a catch up convo a.k.a girl talk and after that it was lunch at Maki maki...again ... lol. The dinner and Lunch Menu are pretty much the same just minus a few items like the different color dragons and some added extra choices. The fried banana was delicious... tempura banana drizzled with chocolate sauce. Plus added with the side of icecream Mmmm! To work off all the maki I ate this weekend, I went to the mall with my gf to run a few shopping errands and then it was on to studying for exams.

Christmas time is near...

Christmas is just around the corner and its time to get ready for all those Christmas parties.
It happens to be one of my favourite holidays putting up the lights, decorating the tree, playing Christmas carols, wrapping up presents, and baking ginger bread cookies. I cant help but to get excited like a little kid around this time of year.

It always makes it special when we can celebrate thess memorable holiday moments with someone special. I espcially look forward to having Kris kringle with my girlfriends or Secret santa with my dance group.

So last year I organized an outting with all the dancers and made our Christmas party at medievel times which was really fun, but this year we are gonna keep it simple. We are going to be doing our traditional party which involves the kids bringing thier parents and siblings along, lots of food, music and this year I decided to include party games, usually we watch silde shows or videos of our past performances but this year I thought it would be fun to involve the parents in some games and not have them be so passive. Anyways Im kindda excited and Im looking forward to posting pictures and stories from that event.

Happy Holidays!

math blows

So I went to a math class for like an hour and a half, 'cus apparently I cant seem to pass a simple math test thats only 10 questions long.

As preperation for semester two they make us do a math test with basic math questions which include an assortment of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication of one of the following fractions, decimals, percentage, or word problem. Sounds easy right? No, I mean yes the questions are easy but you are required and expected to get 10 out of 10 on the test. Oh and no calculators! this is from your head.

First time I got 8 out of 10 right, I knew the division of decimals was wrong and the fraction question. So they made me go to the Math center for 1 hour to "get help" .... all I got was a booklet of math quesions and after my hour was up I was free to leave I didnt even have to finish the booklet they sign a paper saying that I attended this 'Help'. So now I am eligable for my second attempt at this math test and motherF$*#er wouldnt u know it I get 8 again! Sooo this time my answer was sort of right my mistake I rounded two of my decimal answers.

After two failed attempts I along with many others were sent to this class where a lady shows us how to properly solve math problems ... only problem is she confussed the hell out of me and now I am mad at math ... Ive decided im gonna carry a mini pocket calculator when im a nurse, screw top of my head I dont wanna be held accountable for killing someone due to wrong dosage. In conclusion Math blows!

snow storm?

So since late last week everyone was making a HUGE fuss about a snow storm that was suppose to hit Toronto late sunday night and continue into the early hours of monday.

So it was said that Toronto and the surrounding regions should expect to see anywhere from 5-15cm of snow fall.

On sunday afternoon around 3ish flurries starting coming down but since its just above 0°C these flurries commit suicide, die and melt away. Then about 4:30pm it has now turned into rain ( at this point I make my medicinal purchace) about 15 mins later its now windy like hell and its freezing rain. That shit hurts when its hitting you in the face... So as the night progresses it continues to rain.

I wake up today expecting to see a thin or small layer of snow ... Nope! just rain, so much for the storm
