So I typed out this long blog entry yesterday only to loose it entirely (I had an error loading the page... bloody hell!), and it was already 12:00am.. I wasn't about type it all over again.
I basically wrote what happened to me this weekend. I skipped out on school Friday to go to the Autoshow with my sister Kathy (we both wanted to go, but both our signficiant others did not wish to go w/ us.. so we put two and two together and decided to go together!). So I actually went home on Thursday night, which was good because traffic heading into the T-dot is so much nicer on a Thursday night than Friday night (with good reason). It was good I went home Thursday night, because I got to catch Jimmy in some ball hockey action. His team beat the first place team, so now they're #1 in the standings! Hooray! Afterwards we went to the bar with his hockey buddies for some beer and food :)
Friday Kathy and I headed downtown to the Autoshow at around noon. The first exhibit we saw was the VW exhibit. I still hate the Jetta. Nothing about it impresses me anymore. So I set out to find my next car-obsession, and I found it. The Audi A4. I admit, I liked this car before, but now I love it even more. The new A4 was just beautiful! So that's my future car guys (I've decided! haha). Or maybe an Acura TL (I know.. me liking a Japanese car? wtf is going on here? did hell freeze over?). I still gots time to decide :) Kathy and I got to check out the GM Ice Maze, which was cold but very fun! The name of the game that day was to find the biggest pick-up truck possible and sit in it. Kathy had me sitting in these MASSIVE Ford pick-up trucks. I must admit, they're really nice inside but man.. a BEAST on the outside. If one hit me, I would probably die instantly :S
Saturday rolled around and I managed to get Jimmy's mom to cut and highlight my hair :D Red and blonde (see picture below). I was getting bored with my hair.. what better way to come out of that bordem than to dye it some kewls colour! I must admit, I really dig it, even though Rita says I look like a 16 year old (dammit!)

The New Jetta
Time: 10:06pm
Mood: Angry *grr* .. and sad
Song of the Moment: Sum41 - Pieces
Today was just.. well to sum it all up, it was "AGH!!". I felt like that all day. My day started with me waking up and just freaking because I realized I did one of my experiments wrong, and I have meeting with my supervisor tomorrow and I don't want to show him I've done nothing all week. I was distracted all last week and did one really stupid mistake. When I got to school, I thankfully realized that I didn't have to prepare the samples again (that woulda taken me a long time!) so I was able to finish it today. I also had a meeting with this guy from the science department because I wanted to use his machine for an experiment. The thing is, I've been trying to get in touch with this guy for 3 weeks. I sent him emails, I even called him and I got no response. Finally yesterday, I emailed him a very frustrated letter, telling him I really needed these experiments done. He finally emails me and we set up a meeting for today at 1pm. *flashback - I met with him a month ago to check out the equipment and he pretty much yelled at me for being 2 minutes late*. I arrived at his office at 12:58. I knocked on his door.. no response. I waited for 7 minutes outside his office.. he never showed. I was pissed. I went back to my office, called him and left him a semi-stern phone message. I even emailed him. Wow.. complete disregard for my time and my work! It's not as if I showed up at his office out of the blue.. I had set up an appointment. I even told him he could set up the meeting when it was convenient for him. To me, this is really unprofessional. I'm so frustrated with that guy.. and a few other people in the science department... but I'm not going to get into that.
So I was talking to Sean over MSN today and he told me he went to the Autoshow. I'm planning to go with Kathy this weekend so I asked him about it. I told him I went 2 years ago, and I was such a retard because I completely missed a whole section of the exhibition. When I went, I couldn't find the VW display, but I later found out it was in the section I overlooked. Then Sean asked me if I like the new Jetta. I was like.. wha? come again? New Jetta? So I went to the VW website and .....
I hate it. I hate the new Jetta. I can't believe I'm saying this. I thought there would never be a day when I would say I hate the Jetta. But I do. I looks HORRIBLE! I'm absolutely crushed. The grill at the front.. looks more like a shield, and quite frankly only look half decent if you get it in the platinum silver. The back lights have a circle pattern... I hate circles! It looks like a Corolla :( Oh why VW WHY?!?! I knew this was going to happen... I knew they would change the way it looks once I got close to buying a Jetta. *sigh* Maybe I'll like it when I see it in real life.. I donno. But I just saw it on TV and I still hate it. Oh.. my Jetta.. what have they done to you? I'm heartbroken :(

Meet The Parents
Time: 11:26pm
Mood: Tired
Song of the moment: Sum41 - Pieces
I wasn't supposed to go home this weekend, but because of the recent engagement, I decided to go home. Ok it wasn't entirely because of the engagement (although I did want to show my parents the ring!). Jimmy's birthday was last Tuesday, and even though I already celebrated his birthday with him, I thought it would be nice to celebrate with friends.
Friday night I went to see Constantine. I was a bit hesitant at first because it looked kinda freaky and I'm not too fond of scary movies. There were parts where I was a little freaked but overall it was a really good movie! And of course.. Keanu Reeves was a plus (just kiddin!!). Saturday night, a bunch of us (Jimmy, Flo, Kin, Jenn, Joyce, Mich, Cat and I) went out for some Korean BBQ to celebrate Jimmy's 26th. I broke the news to Jenn, Joyce, Mich and Cat :D It was hilarous because I wasn't sure how I should break the news to them.. Flo suggested that I talk with my hands so they'll see my ring, but I tried doing that and I kept moving the wrong hand! haha! After some good grub some of us headed to Mich's place for some poker action.
Today I headed over to Pacific Mall to get my ring resized. Oh man I hate that place! This is why I try to stay away from there unless there's a definite reason to go. My main problem there besides the large mass of chinese people is finding parking at the stupid mall. It's close to impossible! I thought it would be better because Jimmy was driving, but I still got really mad. I had to get out of the car. Once in the mall, I began to look for the jewlery store where he bought my ring. I finally found it, but I decided to wait for him because I thought they would probably recognize him. I stood outside the store for 5 minutes and I finally decided to go in, hoping they would recognize Jimmy's name at least. So I walked in, approached the two ladies working there and told them I was here to get my ring resized, and that my fiance (ahh I still have to get used to calling him that) had bought the ring from there. Then they said "Oh... it was Jimmy right?" haha! While I was seeing what size my finger was, the lady working there kept saying "Oh he's a good man.. he's a good man" hahah! So now I'm getting my ring resized.. I won't have it until Friday.. I feel naked w/o my ring.. :S
So the big thing for this weekend was, Jimmy's parents and my parents met for the first time. Ok not really for the first time.. his mom has met both my parents, but they spoke briefly (Jimmy's mom met my dad when he was picking my sister up from his house after getting her hair dyed some funky colour.. his mom is a hairdresser, and she met my mom when I was picking Jimmy up for something... she thought my mom was one of my friends! hahah). I was a little nervous.. mainly afraid of any awkward silences that might occur. Those are the worst!
Jimmy and I arrived there late, which is very bad because our parents don't know each other well. The thing is, before we left for the restaurant Jimmy and I agreed to pay for the dinner, so we needed to stop by the bank to get some $$. Eeks! But it was ok.. they found each other fine (and we were the only ones at the restaurant at the time.. haha). The evening went really really well! I had no idea Jimmy's dad was so talkative and funny! haha! So a big sigh of relief :D
