hey guys
hope y'all doing well. Okay first off i don't mean to do this AGAIN but i can't come this weekend. I'm going to the states on sat with my sis and that is kinda throwing me off my study sched...i will make it up to you. I have the added pressure of doing well cause i'm only taking 3 classes so i must do well. Also chem is worth like 70-ish % which is a bitch!
Anyways..aaron shame on you for not saving electricity. I chatted up a storm with chels during that time while surfing the net (which lead to eye pain) :(
Anyways, jon came over and he brought up the idea of buying me a promise ring which is weird because i've been harassing him about it since we first started dating until i realized what the significance of a promise ring was...remember?? i posted it.
Anyways, jon's family is soooooooo good to me. His mom keeps on telling me that if i ever need anything just tell her and she'll buy it. I asked for glassware and banana bread with chocolate chips (which by the way is uber tasty...) and she bought like 9 glass containers...and chocolate chip banana bread that's uber huge...free of charge. and she also gave me recyclable grocery bags too.
Seriously...i feel spoiled because my own momma wouldn't even do that for me. SIGH
Anyways me and jon are really good.
Side note: Aaron you better not do it before i do or else i'm going to be annoyed... jon and i are waiting 2 years but it's actually really hard...we've been dating for a year and 4 month-ish...which is a while but seriously...if aaron or ann does do it before i do i'm actually going to be sad...and secretly spiteful (well it's not a secret anymore but yeah)
Have a good sleep!

time to flip over a new concrete slab
well, aaron, since you have my notes, it seems that i am forced to meet you again next week (NOooOooOoo!!!). darn.
and yeah, lily, you've got the good safeway (relatively speaking) that has yogurt-covered raisins! hope you're making good use!
joanne, i'll bring you notes on wednesday. you must let us all know how your interview went!
man, i'm so exhausted and hungry right now... but lab just started and i will feel like a douche for leaving so early because i did that last week too (the lab is open before this class and i have a break before so i come to lab and start early)... i just feel mean to the TA and he's really nice so i feel bad...
plus i don't even know what to do right now since we're just working on a group assignment and my group members are at diff lab times... i'm going to talk to them tomorrow...
ahhhh i feel like i'm in a dream, i'm so tired...
have a good monday!

So the minutes pass by, as I waste another precious moment
A few months ago, I heard about Earth Hour and was really excited about it. Then, two days ago (the 29th), I was reminded of it when visiting Google, about an hour before it was supposed to happen. And then I forgot about it and realized after 9:00 that it was already over... aww, man. There's always next year I suppose... or just every other day. I could have some fun lighting candles.... muahaha!
Nothing huge has been happening. I thought about proposing to Kem... just for fun, of course (all these crazy activities are linked to Chelsea!!!) And now I don't really know why I'm even mentioning it again.
I miss the weird hail/snow thing that happened a few days ago. Those were fun times, to see everyone all freaked out about the weather.
Joanne: how did your interview go? Did our questions help at all?
Ann: Where the dung are you? How's the manager training working out?
Chels: I still have your notes here, kept safe of course. The fellowship must reunite for another ceremony... haha
Lily: Is safeway/starbucks proving to be convenient for you?
Hmm... how's next week games afternoon/night sound for everyone? Or is everyone going to be busy?

hey guys
the day you guys came over, i was actually quite pissy which might explain why i was so defensive...maybe. But regardless, i thought Dan's comment was really retarded. Instead of asking me why the paintings were hanged already (my brother was living in the apartment a week before i moved) he chose to jump to conclusions, Not like i don't of course.
Of course it was my fault to begin with to invite you guys over (not sounding mean or anything) but it was silly of me because i wasn't set up yet and i invited you guys over which for me, caused more problems than anything. (again not trying to sound mean...just being honest).
Anyways, i told aaron this when he called, but i'll be busy probably until end of finals. Next week is UTPAT so definitely no games night for me. I should start catching up on my work cause finals are coming.
I've been sleeping not too well lately. I dreamt that i was a fighter in early asian times who could shoot fireballs. I was fighting this really powerful guys and i was close to defeating him but he overpowered me and i fled to another province (in china). Then years later, we meet again and I'm a lot stronger because i can now teleport :D It's weird because the only thing that i've watched in the past 3 days is the mariah carey butterfly tour...
WEIRD!
TTYl
i'M Getting internet installed tomorrow. I'm at blendz right now.

Cube squared
Sorry to hear that you're in a bad mood. Hope you're feeling better. What was it about the host that mad things bad? I didn't have any problems with him or anything that he said... are you talking about when he was telling people near the front to not talk when people are playing, or was there something else? And of course I'd love to hear your comments, Chels. You're still my manager, remember. haha.
How's everyone doing on their Easter weekend? how does next week games night sound?

new author
hey guys
so i created a new author under my email account (gmail) because, as i've complained before (although gotten to response in return), it's pretty friggin' annoying to get signed off my email account every time i access the blog (multi-tasking impediment, no kidding). as since no one did anything about it and it was really pissing me off, i just made a new author. hope you guys don't care.
okay, that said, i'm just in a not good mood right now. frustrated with myself and with dan and with blogger for being retarded. and maybe a bit annoyed from yesterday's douche host (i would have left the cafe immediately if i hadn't been there waiting for you, aarie).
lily, i don't think anyone was mocking your grandpa's paintings. i can't remember what everyone said (i think aarie said he had asian paintings too...) but i know dan was saying that he thought it was funny (funny as in slightly odd) that you had only moved in earlier that day and were just starting to unpack (basically only large things such as bed, tv, table, etc were out and set up) but you already had your paintings up. he didn't mean anything more than that. you seemed kind of offended/defensive and i understand (i think... but of course can't really for sure say i do) that they're really special to you, but i kind of feel like anything anyone said about the paintings was taken in a negative way, even if it wasn't meant that way. don't know. just don't be sad about anything anyone said because i really don't think anyone meant anything mean. i think. don't be sad...
ann, thanks again for the loan (still owe you 5, i know).
aarie, you did good yesterday and although i know i'm no expert music connoisseur, i have a couple of comments if you're interested (if not, that's good too. seriously. you don't have to listen to anything i say about your music/performance because their just my thoughts). i know i said i'd call but when i'm in this mood i don't trust myself to talk. so i write (or type, whatever).
joanne, if you have any questions, just post or call.
what a douche host. i know he was trying to help/make things good, but ahhhh that was actually really stupid/angering. and you know i don't get angry much. so outrageous. arg.
i need to fight someone... without our weekly games nights/fights i am left frustrated. hahaha. just kidding. kind of. mostly (~95% joke). i don't think i can do games night this weekend (SHOCKER) since i was out all yesterday and today i had to take jon to pizza hut and dan's parents took me and dan and jeremy to season's (restaurant at qe park). when i study i actually need a full day (minimum like, a continuous 4 hour time slot).
god, i'm just so frustrated. talking about it usually helps but i'm even more frustrated now.
if this post has anything upsetting, please don't take it too personally. sorry. i'm just really not myself right now. god. arg. going to bed.

Still wished for a piano
Thanks again for coming out to see me yesterday, guys. At the end of the show, the host gave me this envelope that sounded like it had coins in it and when I opened it later, there was $17 cash and a $100 gift certificate to DCM Studios (the same studio I recorded my demo at, haha). So I made $17 in the span of 15 minutes last night. Ahh... my first paid gig... it was a lot of fun. I was talking to my friends from school and they said they almost cried (in a good way!) during "Empty" and "Almost Here", which was rather surprising to me. What did you guys think of everyone else? The first guy (ie. the guy that played before me) was kinda... yeah.
Oh, how's everyone doing? Anyone up for games night/afternoon tomorrow? I kinda want to play Scattergories... but of course, we can only do that if Ann is coming.
Umm... Ann and I were shopping for a housewarming present for Lily yesterday... at the dollar store. It was fantastic (Funny Thing!!!) but meh. We shall get you something crazy!

interview
joanne, i forgot to tell you on wednesday that on tuesday i got an email and signed up for an interview... i had my interview yesterday (it was okay)! i'm just glad it's over. but i brought a list of references and she didn't ask me for it (i forgot to ask at the end) and i talked to other people, and other people didn't even have references ready... so i would bring them just in case but you probably won't use them (i think). when is your interview/when should we prep?
everyone, emmm... yeah. so dan and i will eat delicious cheesecake :P mehhhhhh. and aaron's name was in the paper (mentioned under tonight's event listing in the vancouver sun)!
i think that's it for me in terms of updates. see you guys soon :)

hey guys
yeah aaron thank your mom for me but my sis rented a 14' truck from uhaul.
Aaron, about your singing thing, frankly i'm not sure it's realistic to say that i will come BECAUSE i still have to unpack and stuff like that. Of course i can do that later but we'll see what happens. Come by my house before you go to the singing thing and i'll tell you.
I told you my address a few posts earlier so you can drop by and since you have a celly, you can call me to tell me you're outside.
NOTE: remember to call me to tell me you're outside because the buzzer doesn't work as i don't have a home phone.
Ugh feeling shitty. Anyways i bought 100% polyester sheets because for a bed set ( pillowcase, fitted sheet, flat sheet) it ONLY COSTED $7.50 (which was not at all suspicious!)
Anyways, i sleep pretty well but i think it was because i was tired. I thought initially i was having an allergic rxn cause my face was itchy but it might have been the loose dust floating around (i was cleaning earlier).
Anyways after crossing the crosswalk from the larch bus stop, I heard a honk. THen i naturally turned to look. I saw this brown guys who had a pervy smile (i actually thought that) who was waving (the "hey" point). Then i was kinda confused cause he was staring at me. Then lo and behold, it was parveen. LOL. When i realized i said "PARVEEN" loudy (right beside a blonde middle-aged lady- she was exiting her car) and was smiling too because i realized it wasn't a pervy guy..it was just parveen. The blonde-haired lady was staring at me confused because i ACTUALLY looked like i was talking to mid-air ( when i smiled at parveen i began to walk away and literally, on the streets there was only me and the blonde haired lady).
LOL
Anyways, chels i have a 30% off costa blanca ticket i'll send you. It only works on sat. If your sis won't lend you clothes, you can buy it for 30% OFF!!! The stuff there is normally quite cheap fyi.

pregnant aaron?! *GASP*
aarie, yeah, for the lpi, i think the important thing is the essay thing. i didn't even take the lpi (see? horrible back-up person), hahaha. of yeah, the puffer thing is also for asthma and...
joanne, i totally agree with aaron. but, on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with regular exercise and a balanced diet full of fresh foods and variety, right? umm... tips... drink some water before you eat (sometimes you get thirsty but just don't know it because our bodies are stupidly slow at telling us that) and i guess try to get some more fibre (which you should be fine for if you're getting lots of fresh fruits and veg, which i think you are) because it makes you feel satiated/will make you take in calories slower (no calories but it adds some bulk to your food). according to my notes, the recommended amount for women is 25g per day (which is actually a lot! i don't think i even get half of that... *sketched out*) but if you're going to do that, increase your intake gradually because if you do it all at once, your colon bacteria won't be able to handle it (not used to it) and according to my prof, you will become gassy :(
oh yeah and i looked up my notes to double check about calories; it says if you drop below 1500kcal per day, your food selections become restricted and if you go below 1200kcal, that will cause slowing down of metabolism and energy storage. just to go back and clean up my earlier "claims"... but yeah, i think if you want to improve your eating habits, that's really good (as long as you don't get really obsessive/crazy/scary...). i started exercising (crazy, i know) about a month and a half ago? two months? and i feel so much better and don't get all wheezy when i run for the bus now, hahaha. i praise your strength at keeping to a balanced diet and congrats on the new job! that seems like such a good experience!
ann, i hope you're at least reading these...
all, yeah so dan realized that he and i had actually gone to this cafe before when we first started dating. we went there for cheesecake (it had a sign that said "best cheesecake in town" or something) and we each got a piece... huge mistake! the pieces were so gigantic (reminiscent of aaron/maggie bday party of 2005. i think it was that year... the huge tall cakes at boston pizza? remember?!) and we were both really disgustingly full. but yeah, i remember it was really nice and not sketchy at all. the cheesecake was really good. you guys should try it (maybe like, all of us can share one piece :P )!
okay aaron i'll call you. but for now,
doctor update: okay so we looked at all my results and everything is within normal range. hmm...
so now what do i do? no idea. obviously something is up... my doctor just gave me pretty blanket solutions (sleep lots, exercise regularly, eat lots of fresh fruit and veg...) so... i guess i'll do that? i don't know what else to do anymore. my iron, hemoglobin, and whatever that was about my thyroid was fine. my immune system is fine. vit b12, and everything that might be wrong because i'm a vegetarian is also fine. what the hell?!
oh yeah lily if you read this on wednesday, call me (preferably not past 8pm, but whatever). i didn't call you because i knew you had all class all tuesday :| but yeah. cell.

Two years overdue
Oh, okay. So you "won't really" need our help. Do you still need screwdrivers and tools of that sort? I asked my mom yesterday if she could help out and it seems like she can, if you want (she has a van/SUV thing which can carry stuff). Are you coming to my show, Lily? How about you, Joanne?
I finally got my results for the LPI exam I took back in June 2006. I sent in a replacement picture last week and got the final results today. Everything was all pretty good actually... except for my Reading Comprehension which I got 13/20! Wow... I can write but I can't read. My essay level is 5, which is a pass, and I'm so glad I passed. Hopefully it's a little higher since two years ago, but I'm just happy that crap is over and done with (not to mention the unhelpful lady).
Joanne: I've never thought that you needed a diet, but if you're set on it, then I obviously can't stop you. I always thought you looked good the way you are. Oh, and good luck at work! I'm sure you'll be able to handle it. There will be other people around though, right? To help you and stuff.
Ann: Where aahhhh yoooo?????
Chels: So what are the results? You can phone me tomorrow morning, as I have school at 9:00 and will be up early. Ugh. Early.
Lily: see above. I'm excited to see your new place!
See you guys soon!

Hey guys,
Joanne: i'll be moving out with my brother (which one??? :D) Congratz on the pharm tech job. I was nervous the first time i worked but just be calm and do things at a good pace. For me, I know that when i was a pharm tech, i wanted to do everything and my actions were very abrupt.
Everyone: I actually won't really need your help since my sis, bro, and jon will be helping me
but thanks for offering. If you guys go to aaron's singing thing, you guys can drop by and i'll give you a 2 mins tour (that's all you need...)

Hey Lily, are you gonna be living by yourself??
I totally forgot Friday was a holiday and thought I had school that day.. Should I come and help you out with the moving?
Omg I'm so nervous right now b/c the technician at the pharmacy I volunteer at will be away for a while and I might be getting paid shifts.. I've only started training a week ago! I REALLY hope I don't mess up!
Chels, thank god you're studying nutrition... Gimme some more diet tips if you can think of any.. I just hope I'm eating enough that my body doesn't go into fat-storage mode. I'm not starving myself on this diet b/c I lack will power to say no to food... I just cut down my rice and meat portions, switched to brown rice, increased fruit and veggie intake and have not eaten any flour-related products like pastries or noodles.. It's been around 3 weeks so far since I've been on the diet.. After 1 week, I actually lost SOME fat (not enough to go down dress sizes though) but now nothing's happening. I'm sad =(
Good luck with UBC Aaron!! I am confident you will get in this year!
Ann, where are chuu?

hey guys
i'm trying nto convince my mama to lend me her van so i can transport my stuff. I've already began washing my clothes (cause washing costs $2 a load which is hella expensive seeing as how the washer is very tiny)!!!
Anyways, if you guys come at 12 it should be fine. My apartment is 2490 Stevens st. It's right beside the safeway and starbucks. If you're in front of the safeway, you'll know what i'm talking about. Just walk to the end of teh safeway block and you'll see a starbucks on the corner. The apartment is right beside the starbucks.
There's no point ringing my buzzer cause i don't have a home phone. Just call me on my celly when you're there and i'll come down to open the door. I can't even buzz you guys in cause i don't have a phone lol
yea also if you guys have screw drivers (with varying tips) and a hammer, i would really appreciate it. I do have 1 universal screwdriver with many tips and others with only 1 tip but it would be best if you guys could bring some IF YOU HAD ANY.
I'm not looking forward to breaking apart my wardrobe :( it took me hours to put it together. IT was really difficult because it's heavy and i had to screw parts together. Fortunately i have you guys.
Anyways i'll keep you updated again.

Asian tables and chairs
This puffer thing... is it similar to an asthma inhaler? That's what it sounds like. Good luck tomorrow getting your tests.
On Friday, I think I'm supposed to help my mom/dad move the old kitchen table over to his place in the... morning? I think. It really shouldn't take that long (it's just disassembling it, putting it in the car, driving it over to my dad's, giving him all the pieces and leaving them with him... possibly also assembling them again). What time do you plan on moving, Lily? I would guess definitely in the afternoon. Are we going to be moving things around and also assembling that wardrobe thing of yours? My show starts at 8:00pm. I think I might be playing at around 9:45, but I don't know. You think you guys can make it? That would be awesome. It's at Trees Organic Coffee (450 Granville Street -- it's downtown).
As for Kem, no, I'm not putting any kind of pressure for him to come out. In fact, I told him, "I'm never going to force or make you come out. To me, it's one of the most personal things you can do. I might advise you or recommend that you do it, but the decision is yours." He told me that he would come out if he were to leave Vancouver, just because his extended family seems to be quite prominent here. i didn't think about this until later, but it's sort of a cop out--just coming out after you leave the city. But again, it's his decision.
If I do get into UBC next year (and if we're still together, of course), I don't know how that might (or might not, I guess) change our relationship. Even now, he's telling people that he's single... and I'm definitely not going to go back into the closet.
There's an interesting contrast when i introduce him to you guys vs. when he introduces me to his friends. With me, he told me that he's amazed people already know him as my boyfriend. But I'm still just a "friend" to all of his friends. It sucks.
Thanks for the info about music stuff, Chels. I talked to Kem about it, and there'll be some courses that I can't take if I do the Bachelors of Arts, but all in all, I think it's better. i don't necessarily want to do Performance, mainly because I think I'm not that good (compared to some crazy Chinese kids who basically whip their them to practice), and I'm perfectly content with the level of playing I've accomplished. I'd still have to audition, which is coming up in April... which reminds me, I should probably practice a little more for that. My hands aren't up to how they were like, two years ago.
See you guys soon!

stupidannneverpostsanymore
lily, oh thanks. that kind of makes sense... i was just afraid he didn't get my email or rejected me or something :( which is only bad because i've been asking people to sponsor me already, hahaha. yeah my parents (ie mom) have been pressuring jon ( ie me) to get a job for his 30 hour work experience. and since he is too lazy/unmotivated/scared to do anything, of course, and since ann told me pizza hut is hiring, i told jon (who of course didn't care but my parents were very interested). so now "jon" (ie, my parents) is (are) bothering me to get ann to give him a tour of the place *rolls eyes* as if he's going into this serious new huge firm that he must work for for the next 30 years or something.
ann, read my last non-aaron post! and post!
aaron, read my last aaron post! oh and tell us what time your show is so we know when we can help lily move!
jo, i wasn't really nervous but slightly alarmed because as soon as i finished talking to my doctor, he was like "okay, take this form and go downstairs for a blood test! they're closing in 10 mins!" so i had to "run". to lose weight, personally, i would go for exercise every other day (or if every day, i'd do diff exercises so some muscles can repair and i wouldn't injure myself) and maybe cut out on junk food. but don't go too low on calories or your body will go into starvation mode and your body will start storing part of everything you take in (probably try to stay above... 1200-1300Cal i think..? i'll look at my notes later). not that i think you haven't heard this info before/you don't know what you're doing or anything, just want to make sure you're okay :)
all, don't forget to VOTE if you haven't already!

Aaron!! I wanna meet your bf!! Is he nice?
Congrats to Ann on becoming a manager!! Does this mean you can gimme a discount whenever you want? XD
Chels, are you still feeling dizzy? Were you nervous about the blood tests? I remember my blood pressure being really high right before my surgery b/c I was so scared >.<
Sorry guys for not making it to Sunday game nights.. I'm trying to lose weight (with diet and exercise!!) and my body's not quite used to the new lifestyle so I'm so tired every single day. I read this article about your weight being controlled by your genes and how it's extremely difficult to weigh below your 'set point' weight.. Omg what if how I am now is my set point?? I'm gonna so depressed arghhh.
I don't feel like doing anything tonight. =( Do you guys ever feel lazy??

post for aarie
hey guys this post is for aarie because my last post was getting really long (post for everyone is the last post!) and this is just about music at ubc. anyone can read, but even i think it's not that interesting of a read and i'm writing it! :(
so yeah aarie, when i told dan you were applying to music, he was like, why doesn't he (as in you) apply for arts as a second? just in case? i don't know if you're interested, but i looked it up on SSC for you (just in case you don't know your resources yet... not saying that you don't/can't find it on your own... just trying to help!) and you can get a BA with a music major or if you want to study something other than music, you can get a music honours or minor, too.
what's the diffy between BA in Music and BMusic? here you go!
it says all ubc students are eligible to audition for the ensembles! that's good, right?
ubc arts also has theatre/creative writing/film studies. i don't know if you're interested... just saying.
here's some info on BMUS
here's some info on degree requirements for BA, music major
and i'm not saying you won't get into BMUS, aarie. don't even think that. i'm just saying, take a look at other possibilities because there's a lot of flexibility, depending on what you really want to do. and i think that a BA would be an excellent back up plan because of the opportunities still available for expansion in the field of music. plus i think it would still be awesome to get a ubc degree. would be a good asset/experience, plus keep your mom happy. i think.
but yeah. i don't know. let me know if you need any help planning out anything/looking into anything for school. i thrive on degree/event planning. seriously. it's fun! anyways, i just thought a ba was an alternative to look into. that's all.

what's the diffy between BA in Music and BMusic? here you go!
B.A. in Music versus the Bachelor of Music (BMUS):
- The B.A. in Music is a four-year curriculum offered in the Faculty of Arts for students not intending to pursue music performance professionally or who do not meet the special admission requirements for the School of Music's Bachelor of Music degree. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree with a Major, Minor, or Honours in Music includes core music courses similar to the Bachelor of Music degree, but does not include private instrumental or vocal instruction though all UBC students are eligible to audition for student ensembles.

uuupdate, it's an update!
lily, that guy you told me to email has not replied... is that bad? i emailed maybe last tuesday morning? or maybe wednesday morning? do you think my email went into his junk mail, possibly? :| kind of concerned.
aaron, i think i can come. i guess friday will be an all day day (moving + listening to aaron's music... oh that agony!!! just kidding). what time, aaron? i guess we'll just meet up (lots) next week? dan's pretty stressed (i think he's writing about 4 essays simultaneously at the moment) and i haven't done any work whatsoever (except yesterday i wrote a quiz) since reading break. and i mean literally and seriously. i have not read any notes, done any practice questions since my midterm exams. i have been sleeping. i'm trying to catch up... but it's hard.
ann, *groan* is it okay if my brother and i visit you either next fri or sat? whichever you prefer. maybe fri is better for me, but whatever.
jo, i told you to check the blog! i hope you are... ehhh...
so i actually successfully went to the doctor on friday. he prescribed me a puffer thing (which actually helped last time i exercised... yesterday? god, all the days blend together when i sleep so much (which has been for maybe a month now). so fricking disorienting. anyways, i also did a blood test, which was really fast. they took three vials and i didn't watch (no way ew... lily!) but i could hear the (nurse?) lady switching from one vial to the next because it would "click!" shut/open/something. anyways it was really fast. my blood seems to run oddly fast (during blood donations, tests). it took less than a minute to fill all the vials, and i want to say less than 30 seconds but i can't say that for sure. but i really think so.
anyways... i'm going to see the doctor again on tuesday to get my results. i had a test for... iron, and i think he said hemoglobin and something about thyroid? i don't really understand the thyroid thing but he said something about that and yeah. i will see. i really hope they find out what's wrong with me... because if not, i guess things won't really change..? :( pretty shitty right now. can't do anything... so tired. i had a dream last night they said that i had... what did he say? he said it in a weird way, but basically he (oh, my doctor, i mean) told me that i had a LOT of iron and that nothing was wrong with me. i was really sad.
oh yeah, and i didn't know kem was closeted! not that that would have affected anything, but i guess either i missed it or you never told me/us. oh well. i don't know, i don't think things would have to change... i guess i really can't say that because i don't know what music faculty is like, but i know that even though lily, joanne, diane, megan, klau, uhhh billy, and so many others go to ubc, i hardly ever see anyone (aside from people i actually have class with... joanne). and by that i mean, if i see them once every term that's frequent (a term is like, 3 or 4ish months? i think? lily, ann? help!). so i guess even if you went to school together, if you guys had a similar experience to me, it's not like you'd have like, all your classes together and it would be super weird or anything. i don't know. what did you have in mind when you said things might change? i mean, it's not like he'd have to ignore you... he can hang out with guy friends on campus. and you can still be gay. just don't make out or anything and Hi think it's okay. (RHYME! A) i don't know. i guess i need to first get what you meant by it "could make things very difficult between us".
and yeah, i don't see anything wrong with talking about coming out (total openness in a relationship is really super important in my eyes... but that's just me!), just as long as you guys try to understand why he hasn't/you have. not everyone is in the same situation so... yeah. as long as your understanding, then i don't see the prob. just don't be like "ahh i'm telling everyone!!!" or something. i don't know. i don't know what i'm talking about. just rambling.

hey guys
i'm planning to move friday morning but i'm not 100% sure because my sister needs to rent a van/truck to store my bed frame and dresser but before she can do that, i must measure the bed frame and dresser to make sure it fits. i'll find out tomorrow and i'll update you asap
ann's going to be a manager? i thought she wanted to quit pizza hut??? anyways congrats i guess.
aaron i don't know what to say about kem not coming out of the closet. give him time. don't pressure him into doing things he doesn't want to. i'm sure he'll tell when he's ready...
anyways i'm not sure about friday yet because i'm not sure when i'm moving.
i'll keep you posted

So spin me a thread, and I'll get wrapped up in you
For Sunday night, I think Kem's going to be busy, and I know Ann told me she's working on Sunday (part of her training on becoming a manager!!! or should I say, mANNager! Haha... so lame) so if it were to happen, it would just be me, Chels + Dan, and maybe Joanne. Are you guys still up for it? And what about next week? Are we going to be helping Lily move, thus cutting into our games night? I think people might be too tired to play any games next week... we'll see.
Oh, by the way, I'm going to be doing a set next Friday at Trees Organic Coffee (on Granville and Pender/Hastings-ish downtown). It's only going to be three songs, but I'd really like it if you guys could come, and seeing as how it's a holiday, you guys shouldn't have school, right?
I've been thinking lately about what would happen if I did get into UBC and things with me and Kem. I don't know if I told you guys, but he's not out, which could make things very difficult between us. I sort of talked with him yesterday about coming out and stuff like that... there's a lot he would have to deal with if he did come out. Hmm. If only people weren't so homophobic in the world.
Talk to you guys soon
~~Aaron
PS. Call ICBC Chels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways i don't think i'll be attending games night. you guys can obviously still meet but i'm just letting you know ahead of time.
Sorry for skipping out on games night 2 weeks in a row.
hopefully i'll see you guys soon
lily
games night?
are we hanging out on sunday? i told joanne we might and to check the blog... she wants to meet kem! i think.
emm... yep. so... hmm... i dunno lily, this or next weekend are both okay, i guess. i would rather get it done sooner rather than later because we're getting close to exam time, but of course, you're the one moving so it's really up to you (don't forget!). also maybe this is a bit late to be changing plans? i don't know. just a slight lean towards asap, but it really doesn't matter.
yeah, aarie, after i got my first job, i realized that many people are just incompetent/unhelpful/indifferent. someone remind me to call ICBC... i keep forgetting! (i just remembered now but have to go to school kind of soon)
not to mention the comma splice! haha that email is like one of those grammar exercises where you have to identify the problem. (a, b, c, d?)
okay reply someone so i know if we're doing something sunday or not

LPI douchebag(s)
I loved reading that list you made, Chels. It was really funny.
About that women in sciences thing, would I be allowed to go, even if I don't go to UBC? Are you even still going?
So I'm applying at UBC next year, and I don't know if I need to take the LPI test again (I took it back in 2006, but my photo was rejected or whatever and I ended up not sending in a replacement one since I decided not to go to UBC). So I sent an e-mail to the LPI people about my questions. Here's what I said:
Hi,
My name is Aaron Chan and two years ago (June 2006) I had applied and taken the LPI exam because I had applied to UBC. I was notified a few days later that my photo was unaccetable. However, plans changed and I ended up not going to UBC after all, so I didn't submit a replacement photo. Presently, I have decided to apply to UBC again, but was wondering if my test results from two years ago would still be valid (if, of course, my results were still somehow still kept and I handed in a replacement photo) or if I would have to re-take the test again, and in that case, if I would have to pay. I still have the receipt and everything, if that helps. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely, Aaron Chan
And here's the reply they sent back:
I knew all of that from the LPI website. They didn't actually tell me directly whether or not my results even still existed, which is the main thing I wanted to know, which left me assuming things, which I really don't want to do, not to mention the fact that there is a sentence fragment and use of a hyphen needed in those four sentences. Oh the irony... it infuriates me.
So I told Kem this and he asked if there was a phone number to talk to someone (perhaps more competent than this loser) and I found one. I phoned this morning and talked to an "operator" (ie. a real person, as opposed to pushing buttons on my phone). I asked if she could help me with some questions and she said sure (not very confidently, I might add). So I ran through my situation, and when I was almost done, she interrupted me and said that I had "told her all of that already, and that she had answered my questions already", which meant that I was talking to the inadequate lady that had responded to my e-mail. I told her that she had answered them indirectly and wondered if my results were even still existant. She told me that "Oh, well, it was only two years ago. I don't see any reason for them not to be there. And if they're not, we'll give you a refund." And at this point, I was just "uh huh"-ing along. She told me to send back the e-mail, as a "hard copy", which I'm guessing is as proof of story or something, I don't know.
Now that I think about it, I kinda wanted argue with her... but I didn't, of course. Anyway, I'll send them my dumb photo and they better give me my results or else I will be arguing.
~~Aaron
PS. Congrats on your new place, Lily. I think I can help you move next week, if you still need people (Warning: I may slack off though...)

And here's the reply they sent back:
You need to send in a passport like photo, no older than 6 months as well as $10. We will then send your scores. One to you and one to UBC. Sign the back of the photo and include all necessary information.

my brother signed the lease
my sister has my apartment key
my apartment is on Broadway and Stevens (which is a block away from macdonald and RIGHT beside safeway...literally)

early morning blues
hey guys
since no one has really updated too much (aside from the usual bits of lily and me), i decided to spice things up and give a thorough account of my life.
jas keeding.
emm... so yesterday dan and i went to aaron's house. we put together a puzzle. but yeah. we had a homework hour (or so) and had dim sum with aaron's mom and grandma (just awkward. very) and later kem came over and we all had japanese food and played "life" (kem brought it). aaron won but i was second!!! but not very close.
lily, i guess it depends on when your brother finds a place, right? like if it's at the very end of the month that might be distracting for you to have to pack up everything and stuff, but if it's earlier in the month, it might be fun (right?)! that's exciting. where do you think you're gonna move into? (like which neighborhood?) you have the opportunity to get close to someone else other than ann (physically)!!! not that you don't know what neighborhoods we live in or something, but i'm going to list them anyways, along with pros and cons of each (because i am waiting for it to be time for me to go to school and have about 30 mins to go):
format will be...
friend (neighbourhood)
+ pros
- cons
chels (dunbar/soundlandsish almost)
+ chels
+ nice people
+ close to school, easy to bus places (dt, school, jon's, etc)
+ close grocery store, coffee places, theatre, etc
+ close to chels in case you get any more power outages
+ fewer power outages
- hmm... maybe too close to chels
joanne (ubc campus)
+ joanne
+ extremely close to school
+ easy access to libraries, gym, etc
- expensive!!! (twice dunbar, i think. i looked some places up because i have to do that when people mention housing... bad impulse. i waste time when i'm tired -- it's actually kind of ridiculous. although if you need some ideas of where to go, let me know... though i'm sure your brother has it under control. just saying, just in case.)
ann (kerrisdale)
+ ann
- kind of boring/not new place
- kind of weird since your house will be pretty close by...
- lots of old people
aaron (ALL OF THE ENTIRE EAST SIDE OF VANCOUVER)
+ aaron, and kem when he stays over
+ short travel time for bi-monthly games night
+ may be a bit cheaper
- most furthest from everyone (except aaron) and it takes the longest to get to school
- east side
(just kidding! nothing wrong with *makes E motion with hand*)
dan (west point grey) ... i know dan isn't officially a blog member but i just need more neighbourhoods!
+ safeway is near, as is top ten produce
+ lots of good restaurants nearby if you don't want to cook
+ everything is within a two block radius
+ about as close to ubc as you can get without being on campus
+ another way to be close to chels
- may be expensive? haven't really found anything on pricing but i'm guessing
- may be lots of students that make you angry. i don't know why, just randomly saying.
joyce (marpole) ... again, not a blog member but needing more 'hoods
+ near to sister in case of emergency/need of food or something?
+ kind of convenient for school purposes
+ i think there are a lot of things nearby, ie safeway, etc?
- maybe so close to joyce that it will be weird because you're not staying with her
- maybe a bit far from school/everyone?
so there you have it.
of course, you could always just stake out your own neighbourhood... but yeah. i don't know. i know your brother probably is also a big deciding factor on where you stay, just thought i'd make a list for you. not for any real practical purpose, but just so you can imagine what it would be like to live near us. (me)
okay, have to go to school soon now (finally).
oh yeah i'm going to the doctor today but i'm sad and don't want to because i have many ailments and am scared the doctor will get mad at me for going for more than one thing but i can't help it because i was busy and it all just added up.
due to this, i may be calling some people for moral support. just to warn.

poo on the man
yeah so lily actually the teller was like no, that's only for seniors but the thing is that it doesn't say that online so i thought it was kind of misleading. i didn't argue (very much) with the lady there because it's not her fault, but i sent an assertive email outlining some misleading and age discrimination.
(seriously)
anyways... umm... yeah. i think that's it. just thought i'd update you guys on that...
yeah ann said she has to work on an essay (don't mean to talk for her, but just to update since she hasn't posted yet) this weekend, so aarie, if you and kem are free, do we wanna double date? (or today, if you get this in time).
emm... yeah. is everyone done midterms yet? quite stressful :| (i'm done though, fortunately!)
oh lily! you forgot to have a potato pancake last week!!! i brought them!!! but only remembered about 10 mins after you left!!!!!
sorry :(

hey guys
well chels at least you know
i obviously didn't read the whole page but that's good to know cause i'll have to do something about my learners by the end of august
anyways i want to catch up on my work so i probably won't come to games night if it's still happening. I think 2 times a month is good but that's just me.
the midterm was okay. Thanks for asking. I'll get my mark back on tuesday so cross your fingers.
Chels, you should recheck you registration time for summer school. Mine WAS mar 22 but now it's mar 26.
Anyways take care.

A is for Aaron's Alphabet List
The show last night went very well. Surprisingly, they remembered me. I only got to play for fifteen minutes, but that was alright. It was the first show/set I've done this year, and I think i made it a good one. I was a little nervous there, just because no one was with me and I was sitting by myself, and this Asian teenager guy kept staring at me, but it was alright. I phoned Kem right before I went on stage and put the phone on the piano so that he could hear my performance; apparently, it was decent quality. Then this guy told me my performance was "very good", which is awesome. I think I'm going again next week with Bekki. You guys maybe want to come?
You guys still want to do something on Sunday? Looks like Lily's busy, but we don't have to come over to my house, unless you really want to. How about Ann's house? We can do some karaokeing maybe? I dunno... I don't think my house is really entertaining or anything.
Today is me and Kem's one month thing. It feels... about a month, yeah. it's just kinda weird to me that I've been with a guy for a whole month. I mean, I'm happy about it, yeah, definitely. I suppose I just didn't think I'd be able to hold down a real relationship thing, based on my past relationships as well as in my own mind.
I was thinking about Kem the other day, and I imagined him with someone else, making someone else happy, and I have to admit, I got extremely jealous, which surprised me, actually. I think that was the point when I realized that I really really do like him, and that I'm so lucky he's mine. Hmm.
And that concludes my alphabet list. Until next time...

oops i meant $15.
it says online (if you read the whole page) that you can trade in your license for a bcid at no charge. which is what i will be doing, then renewing it. but thanks for checking for me..?
the colours on dan's laptop are not very vibrant :|
how did your midterm go, lily?
how is everyone? are we starting weekly game nights or was this just two games nights that happened to be good for most schedules?
ann wants to go karaokeing... or did last week, at least.

breaking the silence
hi guys
so ann yeah i remembered this morning i need to renew my L on friday. i think i decided i'm just going to get a bcid because it's only ten bucks for 5 years... i'll get a new L right before i think i'm going to learn (may/may not be this summer because i'm taking two courses, plus dan pointed out that if i get into co-op --if-- then i will have wasted my money anyways) to drive.
but that shouldn't take more than 30 mins and i get off class at 11am so i think we're good.
emm... what else? hmm... well i'm somewhat very not seriously considering applying for a spot on our faculty equivalent to student council. i don't know though. very unsure. things like that scare me... i don't even know what position i'd take :| ...scary. i'm scared thinking about it. what do you guys think? like, i can imagine it being really fun but it just seems so unreal/scary right now.
i think that's about it... nothing very exciting... few posts recently, i noticed. that's all.
have a good day!

Road less taken
So looks like I'm going to be having quite the extended weekend. I first got off school this week on Wednesday, and found out today in my e-mail that Monday's class is postponed, which means I get Monday off too. Hooray. That's like... 5 or 6 day weekend thingy.
My mom just sat down at my bed while I was talking to Bekki on speakerphone and stared at me for... maybe twenty minutes. After a while, she just told me to get off the phone (my cell, not the house phone) and not talk to her (while I was on the phone) and not talk to "bad people". The thing is, Bekki was in sort of a crappy mood and was swearing just a little bit more than usual (at her computer) which I think my mom misinterpreted when Bekki said, "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!". I basically told my mom that if she has a problem with that kind of language then she shouldn't listen (ie. get out), which of course didn't go anywhere. I really wanted to just spazz at my mom because she's being so ridiculous but I didn't, and it's very pointless arguing to someone who doesn't hear anything you say.
So we're meeting tomorrow at 2:30, I hear. See you guys then!

After a while, she just told me to get off the phone (my cell, not the house phone) and not talk to her (while I was on the phone) and not talk to "bad people". The thing is, Bekki was in sort of a crappy mood and was swearing just a little bit more than usual (at her computer) which I think my mom misinterpreted when Bekki said, "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!". I basically told my mom that if she has a problem with that kind of language then she shouldn't listen (ie. get out), which of course didn't go anywhere. I really wanted to just spazz at my mom because she's being so ridiculous but I didn't, and it's very pointless arguing to someone who doesn't hear anything you say.
So we're meeting tomorrow at 2:30, I hear. See you guys then!
