What can I say?
Weird Kid had his company snowboarding/skiing party last Sunday so he took Baby Sis, Ro Boy, and myself along. (His girlfriend couldn't come) It was my first time snowboarding ever . Unfortunately, Baby Sis wasn't keen on it after her first attempt at the first half of the bunny hill and someone had to be with Baby Sis at all times so I got in only one more try at the bunny hill (this time the full length of it, ooooooh) before I let Weird Kid and Ro Boy go on their own so as to not waste their entire evening. On the flip side, at least it barely cost us anything to try it out. I'd love to go try it again. I figure give me another few runs on the bunny hill and I'll be able to figure out which way I'm supposed to be leaning so as to carve in a certain direction. I tend to think it out too much. My MAIN problem is being able to get up so I can actually go down the hill. Methinks my arms are too short 'cuz I just can't push myself up

Where do I begin?
The great thing (usually) about living is that not only do you change, but everyone and everything around you changes, too. Each at their own pace, whether or not you're ready for it or willing to accept it, for better or for worse.
Everyone's got their own growing pains, their own dance. We dance in groups, but each person still has their own role in the whole routine. We dance in pairs, sometimes nicely choreographed with one another, other times we bust out into our own solo. Some of us love that solo moment, shining in the light that's all for us.
And you switch partners, change dance troupes, the music changes, the scene shifts, but you pirouette the best that you know how. Shimmy shimmy ya.
Sometimes, like a square dance, you end up back with the partner you started off with. I overheard a lovely story while I was riding the train the other day. It's been so long since I've taken the train downtown, I miss it so much. I'm suc

I can put my hair into a ponytail now. Up high or down low, it doesn't matter, my hair can all be pulled back.
You may ask "big deal?" But it IS a big deal for me. Ever since I finished radiation almost 3 years ago I've been waiting for my hair to "even out." Sure I could pull it back, but there would be an obvious spot at the back and side of my head where it'd be obvious my hair was on the thinner/lacking side compared to the rest of my head. Now I'm happy to report that everything looks great, except for my missing sideburn on the right. But I'm glad for that, I've always hated my "Asian" sideburns. I'm hoping to permanently rid myself of the left one so that everything ends up more symmetrical. Laser or electrolysis, I don't know yet.
Then there was the whole issue of how long it takes for my hair to grow. I swear my hair is crawling along...a lot slower than it used to. I look at my pi

My Phenoms have to play the dirty Club Filipino again . I'm not impressed. But it's soooooo on.
Miss you much
I miss my mom, and it hasn't even been a week yet.
Since my mom is away it was my duty/job/pleasure to test out the paraffin hand spa we gave her for Christmas since it would be too late to return it if it were faulty if we waited for her to try it out.
It took us forever to find a paraffin spa. I saw them everywhere last year, this past Christmas they were practically non-existent.
I'm glad we found one for her, though. It was deliciously wonderful using it tonight.
Though the first time you heat it it takes 3-4 hours to melt. And then, true to my style, I made a mess 'cuz the lid dipped into the wax and splashed...right onto our hardwood floor. (Hehe, waxed the floor.) Waiting for the wax to heat/melt I watched my Ally McBeal DVD (Thanks so much, Daisy!). I've forgotten how much I've missed Ally McBeal.
With all the shows coming out on DVD, you'd think they'd release the Ally McBeal seasons. I mean, this DVD (which is the only

Why don't you get on your knees and smile like a doughnut?
I stole that from Civic's photoalbum of his trip to Hong Kong. When I heard that stupid pick-up line quoted above (no, noone used it on me, haha) this picture was the first thing I thought of. Hehe.
My mom's over in the Philippines right now. Unfortunately, it's not exactly a pleasure trip as my uncle (the youngest in their family) has been diagnosed, is being treated for, and is battling leukemia. I miss my mom already and I wish my uncle all the best and a speedy recovery.
On Wednesday, Latina, her fiance, and I went to Jonas' Restaurant for dinner. From the looks of it, I'd say it's the only Hungarian restaurant we have here in Calgary. I had the breaded catfish with homemade potatoes followed by a crepe with chocolate sauce and crushed nuts for dessert. It was a kitschy little restaurant, very friendly atmosphere. We can't wait to go back. Plus, it was great having her fiance
Another year over and a new one just begun
A resolution of sorts: blog more. Or if I can't blog, at least jot something down in a notebook.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve. No need to share any of the sordid details 'cuz New Year's Eve is kind of like going to Vegas. What happens that night is all hush. Scout's honor. Ha, knowing me, yeah right! But it's a blackmailer's dream for some. Too bad it doesn't bother me so much, so you can't blackmail me anyway. However, sharing my stories would implicate others and I've promised I wouldn't corrupt their reputations. Chain of events=family and friends at home -- move on to Tequila -- midnight! -- last call for martinis at Mortal Coil (Step Into The Light, please.) -- noshies at Denny's.
The hot pizza guy from the old Metro days is still working the tequila shooter bar over at Tequila. It was nice seeing an old familiar face. And to be remembered, too!
