35. It is what it is...

Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit it openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worse, returned. But the one thing about human beings which puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.
- Sigmund Freud

... couldn't have said it better myself.

33. It's snowing, in May... really?!

♥
It's been SO long since I've written an entry. I guess the reason why I don't do it so often anymore is because I get lazy or there isn't a lot to write about... anyways, this past weekend the weather was HORRIBLE! It was like, winter all over again. Not only that I was away in Ottawa :( what a weekend!

To recap the things that happened since I last blogged:

1. 21st Birthday party: lots of fun! Happy I got to see everyone ! xoxo
2. Guu & COT w/ Melvin.
3. Rock Climbing with SL, MK, KD and CYL.
4. Dim Sum & Karaoke with LP, BT, and JN.
5. The Falls + Nightmares with LP, KD, KT.
6. Ottawa with aunt & uncle with special guest KH.

Along with many other little excursions in between :) (Photos below!!!)

My 21st birthday was fun, I rented out a snazzy hotel downtown and was very happy with the service! Although I didn't drink as much as I thought I would it was quite interesting altogether! Diana got REAL drunk and puked all over Simon's shoes = good story to tell! I didn't even sleep the whole night but stayed up to watch the sunrise! :) Was very pretty up on the 24th floor. Anyhow, I would like to thank everyone for coming out & those who thought of me and got me gifts! You REALLY shouldn't have! <3

A week after my birthday were my final exams and those went well! So immediately after that I went back home and just kinda chilled out, moving stuff back making sure that everything was out by April 30th. Within that time I managed to check out this new Japanese themed restaurant - Guu Izakaya on Church st. & McGill, to see what all the hype was about. It was actually a lot of fun! I've heard that a few people did end up waiting 1-2 hours in line before getting in, but lucky for my friend & I our wait was only 10 mins, I think that's also because of the party size (2). When you first enter everyone of the servers looks at you and greets you with a friendly Japanese chant with shouts and warm smiles! It's amazing. They then seat you to one of the bench tables, and yes, you will be put beside randoms so for those who like their space, I wouldn't recommend coming here! Haha. The whole experience is really interesting but don't come on an empty stomach because it's mostly appetizers and drinks. Best to go in big groups or 4+! Overall, I'm quite glad to have tried it out!

Another thing that I've recently tried (am now addicted to doing it!) is Rock Climbing! It's such a great workout, using your whole body and strength to keep going up the rocks is quite exhilarating! How it works is at first you make a reservation so that they know when to expect you and give you climbing/belaying lessons. It takes about 30-45 mins to teach you how to climb properly and help your partner by belaying. For first timers, it costs $35 a lesson, then you get to climb for as long as you wish! We did this from 3-6pm and boy were my hands all blistered up! I did burn a lot of calories and sweat though :D Anyways, I recommend that everyone try this out if you can cause it's definitely a lot of fun and you can improve teamwork skills! Hahaha hopefully you don't leave your friend hanging at the top ;)

Yesterday, I got back from a weekend in Ottawa! I tagged along with my aunt & uncle's family. My aunt wanted to go to the Tulip Festival there so I figured I'd go and see what it's all about! We stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn and the place was amazing! Our 2 Queen bed room was SO SPACIOUS! Full with kitchenette and all that jazz :) On Saturday, I was TOO TIRED from pulling an all nighter the night before (in Niagara Falls, where I fell down a flight of stairs in Nightmares!) so I ended up sleeping when my cousins were out. LMAO! Missed the festival, OH WELL :P At night I met up with my friend Kevin, we walked around Ottawa where he showed me the uOtt campus and the surrounding areas, they have a sketchy walkway/underpass. I wonder how many people have been raped there before?! o_O" LOL jkjk. The canal was quite beautiful at night, if it wasn't so cold I would've walked along it a lil more~ Anyways, we ended up walking to the Byward Market area and settled at an upscale bar/lounge called "The Cornerstone" great view from the window booth! Had a few drinks + shots along with poutine and wings. Not bad at all! It would've been a good place to chill if you're looking for something diff than clubbing =) Afterwards I got to check out Rideau st, which was very live still @ 2am! Lots of pubs and bars and drunk people! The next morning I woke up and headed downstairs of the hotel and had their continental breakfast: it sucked and they were too slow on refilling the food T_T" that's all I'll say about that. We checked out and proceeded to the Royal Canadian Mint! It's a short interesting tour of where they make coins and money along with Olympic Medals! Not bad, I had thought it was gonna be boring, but I was wrong! For a cheap price of $3.50 a person it's worth the experience :)

There you have it, the last few weeks all in one entry! Hope to have more entries come along the way! This month shall be interesting :D

32. friends & family... never take them for granted.

You know how when you were younger, people always asked you "what do you want to be when you grow up?" well, guess what? I still don't know. What I do know is that I AM grown up! I'm turning 21. My mom is always in disbelief every year when it comes to my birthday, the fact that I'm getting old not only scares me, but it also scares her. Time flies way too fast. It was only last year that I was excited to finally be 20... now 21? Wow. So let me take this time, to look back at everything that happened *looks back* okay, now I'm ready to move on to the future... and hope that bigger and better things will happen :)

Thank you to everyone who is still sticking around! I'm very excited to be seeing everyone soon! You guys & girls are the people who keep me sane (or insane sometimes), the ones I can call at 3am, those I know I can always borrow a shoulder to lean on, those who I rant and rave to while playing mj or poker (you know it!), and especially those who help me pull through with whatever even when I want to give up. I love you guys so much. You'll always have a special place in my heart even when things go sour! ♥ Whenever you need anything, I promise to be there, I promise to do whatever I can to help you guys! Once again, I appreciate everything you guys have ever done and I'm grateful for your friendship and your love! EXTRA special thanks to KIM for everything you've done for me! there's too many things to list... but I'm sure you know what they are. Oh, and of course for helping me plan my party - couldn't have done it without youuuuu~ Love you lil sis! =)

Love,
Tiffany. xo

30. IGNITE 2010

AMAZING. Simply amazing.
I would have not known how fun and rewarding the experience had been if I had given up half way. It wasn't the most smooth sailing few weeks of practices and no shows and drop outs, but I must admit in the end I am very proud of myself, and of course my teammates! Thank you so much everyone for pulling through and doing it til the end! Guelphies you guys are awesome! <3 Can't wait to see what happens next year...VSA president? Hell ya!




...ON another note, this past weekend I've only gotten about 5-6 hours of sleep IN TOTAL! Guess it was worth it, cause I got to see Andrea (she came back to visit from Korea) and the rest of the HS friends :) PLUSSS my 21st birthday is coming up! OH NO! :) Time to go out and buy party supplies... ;) See you all soon.

29. RUN

Epik High's new MV :) ♥

It's a Wednesday afternoon. One day in the week where I look forward to a calm relaxing day, yet I don't feel anything of that sort. I waited in the office today, for 15 mins just to find that no one was going to show up. What the fuck? Seriously.

That aside, the weather today is messing with us again. Just like life always fucks with you (I know, I'm so bitter right now). *sighs* must learn to not let things affect me too easily...

Lately I've been semi-busy with some stuff but clearly not busy enough. Ignite is coming up next weekend and we still got a lot of rehearsing to do. Two midterms the week after + labs and quizzes to complete. I know it's still early to be thinking about this, but I'm turning 21 on April 7th. Doesn't sound like a big deal... but I'm freaking out a little. I'm not young anymore, 21 is where your age starts increasing at a faster rate than anticipated (at least that's how I feel). I've also started to plan my birthday party event, the date seems to work for me cause I only have 2 final exams on A16th&17th, can't say the same about my friends =/

Only a few more weeks of school left... blah.

Anyways, Dear John is a good read (don't expect it to be anything like the movie) & my new BB case:

28. nothing left to say

Thank you, thank you for breaking my heart time and time again. Maybe this time around... I'll actually learn. In time, I will pick myself back up. Can't guarantee that I'm strong enough right now, but I will. Just you wait and see.
So thank you, thank you for being the heartless asshole that you are.

- Tiff

27. CNY @ freq.

HAH. What a night.
Luckily what happens in a club stays in a club, that's right mofos!
Thanks to everyone for showing up - it was tons of fun :)
Shout out to ERIC for making it happen too.

(8) FEELING SO FLY LIKE A-LIKE A G6 (8)

With all the hype from last night you'd expect me to sit at home and chill right? Wrong. Didn't get much sleep all last night, and around 12 in the afternoon went to yum cha with friends. From there I went to Pmall and met up with Dennis, we saw DEAR JOHN and it was just the most touching storyline ever. Great storyline twists and turns, definitely worth watching! After the movie I was hoping to make cupcakes in time for V-day tomorrow, and lo and behold, I DID! They look so darn cute :) So proud. Hah. Just got to find a cute box to box it in tomorrow!

Then on Monday I'm looking forward to going to the Autoshow & Panorama! Should be a very interesting day... that and I think I have to squish a family dinner in too, boo. OH well fam is fam.

I'm exhausted right now, the next two days are going to be event more eventful, thus need as much sleep as I can get. Hope everyone is enjoying their reading week!

Pictures for the eyes:

26. it's already feb
