1 more day off!

these 5 day offs are quite long. i feel pretty relaxed. i'd almost rather have some work because at least then i get paid. but i guess my 4 days in row will be tiring and stuff so i'll be happy when that's over. my landlord's probably don't even think i go to work since they see me around so much. LOL -_____-

ugh i did not wake up for lululemon yoga this morning because i got such bad sleep last night i just couldn't get myself out of bed at 9am. i suck haha. i could've done some laundry too... but i didn't. instead i went to the beach and read Shopaholic. so funny. once again, it is really sad that i can identify with some of her thoughts. and i made my first ASIAN meal - i'm kind of proud of myself. well ok... i didn't really MAKE anything. i more like boiled some 水餃s, added spinach and an egg and some kimchi on the side. yeah..... but it made me happy! i took a pic and sent it to my mom so she won't worry about what i'm eating all the time haha. sigh. growing up sucks. i want to live at home so i eat free food and not pay rent. i clearly have a lot to learn about managing money... which is why i bought THIS BOOK:
hahaha yeah i haven't started reading it but i will soon! well hopefully it will give some good tips and if there is anything that especially intrigues me i will post it here for all you girlies to read. :)

i had really good day yesterday though - i went to Taste of the City with melissa and vince (my new richmond friends YAY!!) and it was really fun. a bunch of Vancouver restaurants set up a little booth and organize a small menu and you can order small plates/samples of their dishes. and they're pretty big so you can share between like 2 people and just try lots of food. afterwards we went halfway up a mountain (i forgot what it's called) where we could see the WHOLE city of Vancouver basically and it was sooooooooo pretty. you all probably saw the pics in my facebook album so i'll just post one of my favorite pics.

the most PERFECT cloud! and afterwards i had a very spicy but delicious taiwanese dinner at Estea before going home. so satisfying.

i like this city a lot... though i probably won't like it as much when it starts raining a lot, but i think for sure it will be better than dealing with snow and -20 weather and ice and stuff...>_< i am generally happy here although of course i do miss all my friends and family in california and toronto. but thank God for texting and skype or else i would die. but i wish i could put all my friends on a plane and have them here with me. then i would have people to do stuff with. i think that's my main thing... i have sooo much i want to do/see but i need people to do them with. like who is going to do all the fobby things with me?! who?! sighh. haha ><

today when kylie and i were driving home from the beach and i was searching for radio stations for her. suddenly 21 guns came on the radio and i stopped searching and let the song play. then kylie started to talk about something excitedly but all i could hear was the song. and i thought about you. it was like one of those moments that you see in movies where someone is talking to you, trying to tell you something really exciting but it's totally blocked out and sounds like gibberish because you are only thinking about one person. it was one of those moments when i realized once again...this is so hard. sigh. imy.
