pretty girls....

... Thanks to the flow right now what up!

american thanksgiving weekend. for some thats the time of giving thanks, turkey eating in excessive portions, and possibly pumpkin pie two slices. for me, it means BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING. im not a crazy shopper im actually in control when i see all the discount signs. so i did pretty good. i came home with four new pairs of shoes. four. WHY. i do this always. i buy all these shoes but i always wear the same damn ones. you know which ones. the pleather ankle booties i got from alyssa. the AE ones. the ones that are NOT water resistant. oh but i still wear them. i cant break from them. theyre to precious. call me a pack rat i dun currr!!!

this is what i observed over the weekend:
- americans love to free pour their alcohol. WE LOVE THIS. tip them well they will treat you well. PREACH.
- american boys have, dare i say it, more balls than canadian ones. they are ten times more forward when it comes to approaching girls. some have ZERO game. you know. like the ones that expect you to dance with them when they dance behind you - umm me dancing here was NOT an open invitation for you to pull me closer and then there are those who try to pretend that they just want some 'no touch dancing' and then they try pull you closer. umm you are now in my bubble; my personal space. it is now time for youuu to leave. but despite all the lines and the moves and the 'heyy baby's' that we hear, they dont quit. and i gotta give them props. because they hold their head up high and move on to the next drunkie thats walking around.
- american clubs have gooooooood music. or maybe it was just the ones that i went to. but they beats were hard and the transitions were smooth. aaaaaaaamen.
- their portions of food are LOVING. like wow. something i look forward to, no lie. the abundance of food on a plate is sharable. me likey. even in the food court. my cousin, sister, and I shared ONE plate of chinese food. ONE PLATE. mind you, i wasnt completely stuffed but it lasted from lunch to dins. so cant complain there!
.. there were other things i observed but sadly i didnt write them down. fail.

my niece, ava, is CUUUUUUUUUUTE. she has big eyes. like BIG ONES. and i love it. its like she sees into your soul, that young one. love her. love how shes so little. lovelove and more love.

10 minute trainer. starts tomorrow. SORRY NAT! been waaay busy. what with 6 day work week last week then the states this week. such little time. so much to do.

WOOOOT EDUMACATION. getting all my courses together. what is it that im taking? marketing communications. why didnt someone tell me id be good at that when i was in university? damnit all. its okay. figured it out. my fortune is really coming true! things are coming together slowly for me. thank goodness its about time i got my shit together.

i cant find my ipod. i CANT find my ipod. i may scream just a little. i havent used it in a couple of weeks. and now ive misplaced it. this makes me very sad. because i have new music to put into it. sadface indeed. how can you be a happy ipod without the emo sounds of rihanna and and oldschool DC3 (oh yes! i broke that out of the box today)

.. im craving chicken fingers.

b.u.d.d.y

.. give it a try.

i watched the new britney spears music video. very 80s. body suits, the mesh and the lace ensembles, the shadow dancing... you get the picture. oh. and poles. it would be britney without poles. thoughts? the 1-2-3 song is okay but the video is uncool. she reveals a lot of her back. she doesnt exactly have the nicest back. ohhhhhhhhhh britney. go back to your kids.

50hr work weeks make me go a little crazy. its all in the spirit of SALE. thats right, kids. if you didnt know about it before you are for sure hearing about it now. ARITZIA IS ON SALE. happy quarter of a century, my beloved workplace. i actually dont mind working all the time. gives me less time to do the silly things i used to do aka spend all my money on draaaaank. oh wait. i still kinda do that.

SOBER WEEKEND STARTS NOW. im determined. at least one weekend sans the juice. i dont know how well this will play out considering its the lovely sophia's bday. do you all remember sophias birthday last year? CUZ I SORT OF DO. "make it gooooooo!" "give me oneeeeee moreeeeeeee chaaaaaance" random limo bus riding, breaking the shit out of shines ladies bathroom, and im pretty sure bien broke zf's window.... you know how we do. oh, and how could i forget the moment when i didnt know who was driving my car. dont worry. it was christy. i just didnt know who she was at the time.

i watched the movie se7en last night. never watched it in full. ever. caught the last hour of it. dude. brad pitt was a hottie in the day. now hes all bearded and married with 3849384 adopted children from ethiopia or africa whateverthefuck. anyways, good movie. pretty morbid. LOVED the ending. am considering to watch it again. although that could be a waste of time seeing as i already know how it ends. meh. doesnt stop me from watching twilight religiously.

speaking of which, NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im watching it soon. with summer 09 crew. love them. love the original days of the hunt. love taylor lautner. ps did you watch his interview with jimmy fallon? so cute. love the motorbike race. i use the term motorbike loosely.

wale is my new lupe fiasco. everyone needs to know wale. hes part of of ROC for goodness sakes. oh jayZ, you really do have an empire state of mind.

i finished 90210 season 4. now what the heck am i gonna listen to before i go to bed!!!!!

now or never.

kpop is fucking annoying. but i couldnt stop watching it. its like those moments when you see a car accident - you cant help but look. in this case, i cant help but look at all the cheese. shit. korean pop music makes me laugh. no disrespect. im sure the filipinos have something similar. pfft im CONFIDENT that we do.

am currently feelin the punk and glam kind of looks these days. probably all the gossip girl ive been watching. the punk of little J with the dark make up and messed up hair followed by anything baggy but not oversized. its comfy. its sexy. its most def a look i cannot pull off but will most certainly try. and then we have the glam. this is SOO not me. i am not that girly. nor do i have the time to care about everything down to my matching chanel (hah! i wish!) but it is a cute look. a nice cocktail dress paired with some sort of heel that doesnt take anything away from the over all look. i need a winter look. hmms hmms hmms.. or i can just be me and wear my leggings. YES!!!

when did music start to suck? theres a song out there. that spells out BITCH. why? WHY?! that has no lyrical merit whatsoever. cmon diane warren! CMON!!!!!!

mya. brandy. monica: you know what im talking about. circa i wanna be down just one of dem days ghetto superstar. ohhhhhhhh man. takes me back. am currently listening to it all on youtube. do you remember those days? its kind of like the question, "when did you fall in love with hip hop?" (brown sugar). i remember when i watched mya's music video for its all about me and saying, WTF THATS THE GUY FROM DRU HILL! i remember listening to brandy's sittin up in my room on repeat because i actually thought that if i WAITED, he would come. i remember when space jam came on and heard monica's rendition of for you i will and wanted to sound juuust like her. yes. im crazy. and yes. i miss those days. a lot. wootwoot ps: this ones for angela hayan pak because if there was annnnnnnnyone who would jam with me to these artists, it was her!! awwwwwww <3

did anyone watch taylor swift on SNL? cuz i did. only a bit. enough to catch the monologue and FIRELIGHT aka her version of twilight but with frankenstein. shiiiet so funny. made my night for sure. i had to watch the monologue again because i didnt quite get it the first time (partially because i was drinking and talking over it). LOVED the call out to kanye, joe jonas, and my favorite.. taylor lautner. yesss!!! taylor and taylor wooot!!

speaking of twilight, breaking dawn is rumored to be filmed in vancouver! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!! AAAAAAAAAAAMEN!! my heart dropped when i heard it was potentially being filmed in portland due to shitty bc taxes. but praise Allah!! am just waiting for the imdb link to show up.

russian roulette.

man oh man have i been itching to write! lifes been too busy. i dont know why though its not like i do a whole lot. all i do is work. and chill with the coolest people on the planet aka my homies. other than that, life is usually not as tiring. maybe because ive been stressing. went to the bcit info session and may i just say that, that was probably one of the most intimidating moments. well, not so much intimidating more like WOAH im a first year again. didnt know where i was. didnt know who to talk to. couldnt find my car. you know, the usual. long story short: i think i figured it out =)

how convenient that rhianna is doing an interview re: chris brown and the use of her as a human punching bag MOMENTS before her new album release. i love the media. yes. lets take this opportunity to discuss the importance of abuse and somehow add a shameless plug where she will say something in her interview along the lines of, " the lyrics in my new album convey everything ive endured these last nine months." dont get me wrong, i feel for this princess. abuse is uncool, kids. if you dont know.. now you know..

TAYLOR AND TAYLOR FOR LIFE. its real and its deep. go cougars! yayy jailbait! damn these two are so freaking cute. cute cute and cute. and OHSO publicized. new moons in three weeks. taycobs on the cover of numerous gossip mags. this is not a coincidence. this is sheer genious. i love the mechanics of it all. actors need publicity. magazines and online gossip forums need someone to talk about. they work hand in hand and i cant get enough of it. hehehe on another note: would YOU date younger? sometimes i wonder if i could see past the boundaries. age aint nothing but a number. hmm. if aliyah says its okay, then i guess i can agree.

i want to travel. i NEED to travel. especially if i plan to go back to school in the near future. ive said it numerous but now im for sure. where the hell am i going. parents just told me the eurotrip is pushed to octoberish 2010. i can live with that. im just itching to get away and see something new. what id do to see the ball drop (har har) in times square...

are you excited for the olympics to hit vancouver? less than 100 days, wheeeeee!! im super pumped. the city will be so alive. mind you, thats a reason why im not entirely thrilled. no parking. transit will be a bitch. line ups to anywhere will exceed the minimum wait time of 5mins... shit. but who cares! OLYMPIIIIIIICS!!! am currently contemplating a new olympic hoodie. which one do i want. i dont know. all i know is that its going to be PARKLIFE. eff you, hudson bay company, aritzia is where its at!! olympic gear makes me happy.

the only thing i like about the iphone is the application where if you bump each others phones together it automatically saves your contacts. cheap thrill. still pretty fascinating. htc forever though. NO BBM. and NO PING APPLICATION (is that what its called?)

peace. love. ecstasy.
