I may be hated. I may lose friends. I may be talked about.

But I'm going to say it anyway.

I cannot stand female adults that attempt to get their way through pouting, whining, and so forth.

Sure, it may have worked with daddy when you were a child. It may look cute on television. But honestly, it's plain annoying and juvenile. To all those guys that complain about their girlfriends expecting everything from them... well, that's because you taught girls that they can get their way.

Life is a cycle. Deal with it or make a change.

Food!


I think it's the only thing we can all agree on aside from enjoying good company.

It was nice to see everyone again (minus Ji and Ken [the wonderful fellow who sent a email about coming back to my bf and not me]. rawr!).

...that is all =)

Should I apply to coop positions that aren't in the lower mainland?

Cons
-away from family, Dino, friends
-need to find a place to live
-unguided challenge of being independent

Pros
-open to opportunities that may not be locally available
-different environment
-challenge my independence and individuality
-learn my own way of life and culture (further self-discovery)

What else should I consider? What are your thoughts?

Mom's friend was saying how her daughter is complaining about some sociology course. Her reason? There's a lot of bases to touch upon for the course. Uh huh... isn't that like most line of study?

Okay, I'm not calling her stupid... wait, nevermind.

Hi =)

Yes, profanity. Very classy. I know.

You lecture me about talking on the phone late at night (please note that I talk very quietly). You repetitively remind me to keep my friends quiet when they're over past your bedtime. Is it so much to assume that you'll be considerate enough to keep your friends quiet when they're over?

Sure, I shouldn't be sleeping past 11am. But I am often out late (usually due to work) and I sleep late because I absorb material and focus better at night. Also, I'm trying to study. I don't think my parents comprehend the fact that in university, although I'm only in school for 3 to 4 hours per course, it doesn't mean I have a lot of leisure time. It's because I have piles after piles of readings. Sure, I'm online a lot. You know why? My readings are online. Plus, I'm saving money by searching for required readings online rather than buying the courseware.

I'm trying to do well in school so you can brag about it. I'm working as much as I can so I don't touch your money. I'm trying to be a good daughter. So please, can you just let me sleep?
