on Friday, July 2, 2004 she came into my life... she was a dirty, malnurished kitty... she was cute above all what she had... at the begining she hissed at us... so we ened up putting her in a box with a fluffy towel and small blanket...for her not to feel the harshness of the box... we pet her for hours so she would get use to us and eventually trust us... we gave her tuna/milk (as we found out milk not a good idea, by the vet) for that day... then we took her to the vet on the 3rd, they asked what was her name and i named her 'Grace'... a ear wax and stool sample was taken... it came back negative... the vet asked us to come back in 2weeks... she was concern over Grace's tilt on her right side... b-g was concern she had more then that and kept always saying 'are you sure you want all the responsibility and how about if she is a really sick kitty, do you really want that?' i told him that i didnt care that Grace was perfect and i will be keeping her no matter what... i also said 'what! do you wish me to put her back outside... i don't think so! never!' in my mind and heart she was mine, for always... i would look after her and keep her safe and healthy... so i thought i could... i took care of her, stayed up with her... i tried to make Grace as happy as i could... took her to the vet to find out what was wrong with her... yes, she walked with her head tilted and her hind legs were a bit high when she walked, like she had something stuck up her behind... Grace had the most cutest way of looking at you and meowing, your heart just melted... i picked her up as if she was a baby and she stayed in my arms sleeping and purring... she slept alot, and needed to be woken up to eat... she loved our bed covers... she layed there for hours sleeping. but the best place to sleep for her though was my chest/stomach... Grace loved it the best! i had never seen a kitty with such a craving to be loved... it showed in everything that was done to her in the most thoughtfulness way, we gave her a bath and she didn't fuss and was accepting of the blow drier. she got into messes alot (her own) but i washed her feet all the time... as i found out she loved the heat of the blow drier and slept through it... days were passed me playing with her as much as i could but not being too rough as she was skinny as hell... when she wasn't sleeping she wanted to be with me, i had become her serogate mother... i loved Grace as she was my own... i don't care if she was a kitty... we are all god's creations!!



yesterday, was the worst i ever felt... the day began beautifully, Gracy-pooh was happy as usual... came to us and was walking around the condo and meow looking for me... once she found me, she right away came to me and stuck herself between my legs meowing, like saying pick me up! heee.. so i did... we took her to the bed where she layed on me... for while and then walked to be with b-g... she slept there for a while then b-g wanted to go to the kitchen and i decided to take care and put her on the covers... she layed there and then i picked her up and took her to see what b-g was doing ... all of a sudden i felt her to be weak and some thing was wrong... she wasnt really waking up and then i put her down on top of the washer where all the recent washed clothes were... she started to arch herself and meow like crazy... as if she was in pain... i picked her up and as i was taking her to the living room she just passed stool and b-g was upset as i told him to please clean in up with bleach... as he did that... i access the situation and tried to see what was wrong... i thought it would pass so i waited a bit... then she just went from being ok to not breathing... there was no time to take her anywhere... Grace passed away at 3:19pm...



TO GRACE MY LOVELY KITTY!! LOVE YOU ALWAYS... MY SWEETY...

in other things...



got my subscription for style at home... yeah!!! 10 issues for $20.64CAD...



and...



so yesterday i was watching the health discovery channel: Your Period Your Choice -

stories of women who suffer really bad Periods and those who tried to avoid to have periods with birth control... if you suppress your period you may aviod some serious health problems such as cancers, anemia or bone loss. i found it so very nice... that you can stop having your period for like a few months (with medical supervision, ask your doctor on this advantages/disadvantages) or if you have a special occasion [vacation, wedding, etc....]. i call a clinique today and asked a nurse she couldn't say much about it. as the subject is not really known that much in the medical community... there is so much fluff about the pill... some research has been done and it has been founded that women were not meant to have so many periods in our lives... due to us wanting so much we tend to postpond having children [which we have few 2.5 children] or he have none... the research was done in africa a tribe in which the men has multiple wives but the women have 1 period a year... that was my thing 1 period a year compare that to the western women.. hello, like 10-15 a year... that is crazy, embrace it my ass! so, i will be making my appt to my gyno this week to verified this, if i can do this... man that would be amazing... yeah! ... on that factor...

Which Takeshi's Castle Character are you?

Lumina
so it'b been about 9 days... got my new pc... saved some money... got a router... trying to get all the pc's up and going... yah!! bought xp for my old pc... that b-g will be now using as his... but still having some probs on the network issue which armando will help sometime this week... i cant wait... been introduce to radio music through windows media player... yeah i knew it existed but i never really took a look at it... since now i have xp and well a new pc i will take advantage of it... been out of the net for a while as all the stuff had to be put together and i had problems with the ethernet card for the 3rd pc... then finally, called and spoke to someone.. what surprised me was that the cust rep was in the phillipines? what is up with that... i even called microsoft too for some info and the cust rep was in India... what is going on??? all our jobs are going to 3rd world countries due to less pay! the companies make more money if they pay their employees less... as we ask for more due to high living in the west!!! i hate that but i guess people have to make money to get super rich and the average man is dependent on them to give jobs to the unfortunates that have less... what the f!$k!!! no wonder many people can't get jobs here... and so many are on welfare... then the gov't bitches about the money problem... well, look were all our jobs are heading out of this country and into others...



k.. that was my rant... leave it at that if i keep going i'm going to have a bad day!! and i dont want that... as i have gotten a great deal today... i called my IP and asked to be terminated as i was taking my bizz to the competition... well, they asked "why is that?" i told them the situtation: on the 11th we went to futureshop to buy equipment to set up a home network. we spent over $300 worth of hardware/software for the home network. now what happened was that i called on the 14th to find out about the special offer (3 month free for the service) that our IP provide was having if you buy hardware at futureshop. but the information that was provided by a sales rep at futureshop was missleading. we didn't know that the offer only was for new members... the sales rep even told us that we could do it... i even asked her like 3 times to confirm and she even said, "oooh, every one does it dont worry. even people who work here do it"... so, i called yesterday the store and they said no you cannot get the offer due to the policy... i even left a message for the manager to call me back on this he never did... so today when i spoke to the sales rep at my IP, he said that he would give us a deal either the 3 mths free or take the extreme speed for 6 moths for what we are paying currently without any restrictions... we took the 3 mths free as we save over $150 that brings us back to a savings for the $300 we spent! we only need to fax the paperwork that was given to us by futureshop! it all worked out for the best!!! happy now!!

the day started out slow... got up at 8 am got breakfast started... served b-g in bed and then made mine... talked about what we would do through out the day... i wanted to go shopping, he was ok about that... cleaned up... took a shower... finished washing clothes... started to get ready and left at aroun 1:30pm... we hit fairview mall... got some dishes from the bay and went to get my exfoliator scrub (ran out today) by clinique and a post blemish solution... as a few blemishes were in town due to the "P"... hate those times... i guess the woman at the counter thought i suffered from acne... so she recommended it... i took bought it to see if it works during "P" time...

she also asked me if i needed the 3 step... i told her that i had:

3 step

emergency mask

7 day scrub cream

gentle eye make up remover

pore minimizer: t-zone shine control



she looked at me like i had a bit of an obsession, like i care :P. heee...



so we headed out to the car as we didnt want to carry the stuff around with us... but as we stayed outside to talk we noticed it was a gorgeous day... we didn't go back to the mall instead we ended up going to microbytes and got a computer... cost about $1,400.00 CAD... it will be ready on wed-thur... i guess they'll call us to come pick it up... i was glad cus the PC i have presently the USB ports aren't working... which is great now that i will have a brand new one YEAH!!!! so very happy... the case is a cute silver with blue trimimg... pretty cute...



i've been looking forward at buying the PC and i should have taken a while longer to buy the PC (that insane thing that i have to buy really quick!). ooh well.... maybe in another 3 yrs. i'll be better at that...

i spoke to Armando and he got me thinking of bad thoughts about my new PC... he said that the place were i bought the PC, they tend to use old parts... one thing i will want to do is ask if they do that, like they would tell me anyways.. now im truly neverous, dang!!!! we'll see how all the is in about 5 days... yikes!! :( kinda sad now...



after we did the shopping we went to provigo to buy food and came home to eat the leftover lasagna with some parmassan... which was delish!! yumm...



b-g worked overnight... he came in around 10am... he's taking a nap at the present... he will be doing another overnight tonight! which i hate cuz it scares me a bit to be all alone in the house with no one and our degu "pikachu-nun-nun" makes at times noise which drives me nuts when i'm alone. as i go to check the door if its locked like 30 times... and i sleep with the tv on and at time go to sleep when it starts to get light outside... pretty pathetic for a 31yr old... yikes... what society has made of me... well more like what i have let society do to me... dang!! ok stop for now...

the day started pretty hectic to begin with.... got up took a shower around 8am. mom cut my hair and styled it. doggy (ruffus) was being a little pest... he's only 4 1/2 months old... he's a mixture of golden retreiver and a chau-chau (i think it's spelled that way, anyways). mom left me at reagan airport cuz she needed to go to a funeral (saturday one of her customers past away). i couldnt believe what i saw... two big huge x-ray machines to my right and another 2 to my left... dang, that was the first time i had seen that... talk about being extremely careful.. yikes.. heee. but atleast i wasnt strip searched like i was leaving montreal. i passed like 3 detectors and got searched like twice... bought a water, pop tart and batteries... but forgot the pop tart on the seat of the airport as when i order a coffee and went in search for the pop tart in the mess that i call my bag, it just wasn't there.. oh well, had to do with the peanuts that were given on the plan and thank god i had some pookie sticks (strawberry flavor).



i think the girl that was seating across from me was a hasidic jew. i started to think of what my mom said to me earlier... that i was 1/2 jewish... on my trip to i learn that and another tid bit of my past that my dad was a pilot! pretty informative.. heee...



wrote the following on May 2th (sunday):

7am, woke... helped mom with the preparations for my neice's b-day party (her birthday was the 30th of April). got into a some what of a fight about my sis, like always. i dont know any more, coming to VA, i thought it was going to be nice and a family re-union thing but it has been turning out a bit sad like... i dont know where to start on that, but i will instead write of what has happened these past few days since the 22nd of April... heee.. a happier time:

came on the 22nd, mom picked me up... it was hot outside! so grossy on my body! yikes! walking outside to the parking lot. the prejudice of the world came upon me, i really felt it. i feel like that every time i come to the US i dont know why. i guess due to the fact that i tend to look at everyone doing every little thing and then i catch at the corner of my eye something totally discusting and i really dont like to see it... but i guess it does exist... do i live in a bubble or what?!!! i think i should go out more... heeee... but i guess i'm not like that... i personally come from a minority group(s) that many in in the USA tend to not like very much and look donw upon... that is the spanish/latino side. i dont know why... i guess due to the vast immigration of them...

spoke to mom for a bit about the things i had been doing in montreal... she had to go to work. found the doggy "ruffus" to be crazy as hell. 4 months old, he has no training yet. mom will send him to doggy school and get him neutered (ouch!)... my sis doesnt like ruffus too much due to the fact that he always goes after my neice and then she starts crying like there is no tomorrow... poor doggy... he gets scared... when Val starts to cry... heee... i want to take him home with me but i bet b-g will say no, as we dont have no room for such a big doggy... heee... anyways, that was my though even now! so i was left to roam the house the whole day... took ruffus out but he is like a crazed animal... mom came tired from a hard day... she was in the process of buying the salon... the 25th was the signing over of the corporation and place... also the lease was signed on the 28th as the people who owned the salon are were leaving for a week to england... crazy.. mom is going bonkers over the fact that they couldnt wait til the end of the month... yikes... mom asked me to proof read the documents before she signed them... it took me a few days but got it all ready and then she went to see her lawyer. she had done the inventory with the owner the previous week (before i came) and asked me to put all into the computer... so i did... that took me 2hrs. i missed my baby bro by a day imagine he's in boot camp. a 2 days ago he sent a card saying that he had arrived safely but that it was hard as hell. poor baby! so, now 10 days later i'm still here with recentment, if i may say so. TV has been my companion with Ruffus taking up a few hrs with the walks... i take him for walks, which he loves madly. i will miss him tons. he is so freaken' cute. poor darling... he's kept in the kennel at night as he goes upstairs and doodoos all over the carpet... which mom hates... heeee... i have gotten into a few fights about ruffus being in the kennel... i dont like that at all. i try to keep him out as much as i can... during the night i go to bed really late 3-4 am so he will be only in there for a few hrs... then mom takes him out at 6am... so that means he only stays there for 2-3hrs max... but when i leave i dont know what will happen.. during the day he goes to doggy day care... but cuz i was there he hadnt gone as i took care of him and mom saved money as its $15 a day (10am - 5pm). Saturday... was shopping day with my sis, spent $300 which was $140 for my neices clothes. heee... b-g had somewhat of a heart attack when i told him. like always, i'm a shop-a-holic!! i miss him so very much... i care for him alot... he misses me tons, too!! **cry **cry :(



over all the trip was good... got to see my neice, sis and mom... so it was ok, even though there were some fights in that time... heeee.... as i look at my shoulders they have like these red blotches, dut to the heavy ness of my 2 bags... i got b-g english toffee coffee and coffee mates (carmel, french vanilla & hazelnut) as we dont have those flavors here... heee... and he loves them... i also got him some really cute shorts... heee... i took pics of the doggy he is so cute... need to put them up some time this week... i am so tired... havent been sleeping so well! gonna go to bed... but before i havent to compliment blogger as they have made the look so much net-friendly!!! and not to forget "OLDCATMAN" has the new site up and going.. good for you!!! i will go see it.... soon.... thank you for the hi's on my site. demi...thx... i have to think if i should take out the fooble box due so much shit on it that i dont want... i even gave $$$ but not to get crap/spam to be put up on my freaken site... if that keeps up i will take it down... and only my comments will stay...

But Feeling DOWN...

went to visit my reads and felt like blabBing so much (which at that time i was on an up beat) that i had to check out a new blog which led me to a place which i been having fun for the past 2hrs... it's called photofriday... which is so nice... they have like challenges of different things on a friday... last friday's was 'self portrait' which was suggested by playapixie... she herself has a really cool pic that she entered... she's at #276! check her out!!



well before that i went to see tasberry she's doing good... one of her co-workers went into surgery and came out pretty badly but she has found out she is doing ok except she has no leg. it's sad.. mr. rob is still out since Dec/ 03... darksyde is still kinda there but needs a little of encouragement to post.. heee... as for rieke, i hope she's doing good.. her sons came to visit her so she was happy on that note... miss demi is kinda on her 'P' so it is hard on her... too much i know the feeling excatly... OLDCATMAN has his channel posting going on... the comedy channel is playing pretty good programs at his place... heeee... gale (anonymous gurl) is still out... soon she'll be up and going, i hope...

ike OLDCATMAN was saying to put a sample of our voices up on our blogs that would be great... to hear how we all sound! that's fun... he has one on his page... and it's pretty cool!! he has the nicest voice ever... heeee.... ***blush*** miss ginger & miss candy... are doing pretty well, except for the case of teasing and the repairman incident... heee... jen jen hasnt posted since the 11th but she has made her presence noticed... hope she's ok probably pretty busy! tangerine... is still in the outs since feb... hope she comes... she has the cutest pic of the "BRB"... heee... lynn has no comments so i cant really say hi to him... but i still go see him.. he's into the one phrase blog right now... hey he hasn't even responded to my email... still on the waits... heee...



these are my thoughts of my regular reads at times i dont post what im thinking or what i feel... i dont know really what to say and explaining is like i feel like i go on a circle... here... its freaken blowing all sorts and i think its going to freaken rain like crazy, i know it... but the sky is so dark, like how i feel inside... what an ugly day it is today... i'm listenning to "WHERE IS THE LOVE" by BLACK EYED PEAS... it makes me so sad and to think we humans are such uncaring people... makes me feel i shouldn't be in this harsh world... i feel hurt inside... OLDCATMAN knows the reality that exists in this hard/uncaring world. we destroyed and we kill each other... something wrong with that picture... don't you think...POWER is what is all about... DOMINATION is the name of the game... i hate that .... what to do BUT to bitch about it... CAN ONE PERSON CHANGE THIS HORRIBLE WORLD... im not saying that there are no good things or good people in this world, there are but some times THAT IS NOT ENOUGH... well for me anyways!!



this is my feeling of the day.... I'M GOING TO HAVE A GOOD CRY NOW, TOO MUCH SADNESS HAS CREPT INTO MY HEART AND SOUL!!! laterzzz....

i guess the night went ok... i watched tru calling & CSI:vegas... it was ok... tv was the night thing... i fell asleep around 1:30am... couldn't wait for my boo... but i sorta woke up a bit when he was looking for his jogging pants to change... then like always went to the dining room to work on his paperwork... dang, he works so much and always is stressed out of his mind...



had a wicked as dream yesterday afternoon when boo and i took a nap... which we got up 30 min before he was going to work... cuz i didnt put an alarm to wake us up!! made him a sandwhich, coffee, and put some grapes for him to take to work...



as the dream went... i was in the bathroom and then i started to have gramps which ended up with me having twin girls... then the scene changed.. boo was coming into the house by the slide door from the back as i was walking out of the bathroom with the babies on each arm... he was saying to me to take the groceries and he also said that he had found an old lady and a child which didn't know where they lived. the people didnt know english... boo asked me to take care of them... ignoring the fact that i had just had the twins... then he went into the bedroom and went to bed with our 3 yr old little boy, in the middle of the bed and on the other the old lady was sleeping... i got stucked taking care of the babies, putting away the groceries and taking care of the kid who didnt speak english.. all of a sudden the kid had put the twins into a basin and had taken apart the back of a bookshelf and put it on top of the basin where the twins were... that was so creepy... that i started yellling for boo to wake up... as i screamed i woke up of my dream by boo's voice saying.. wholly shit, i have to get to work....

Wed, 31st March...

stayed home all day... cleaned up and called for my confirmation to go to visit my mom on the 21st of April... made breakfast for G. we spent the day lazily doing nothing much! just cuddling and talking about our lives where we are at... how far and what we expect from each other... trying to see if and when we should move out of MTL. and go to the english side of Canada. i like it here but don’t get me wrong i want to live where the 1st language is English! yes... i still i’m at that... G doesn’t feel 100% comfortable with French so i tell him to do something about it. we can go anywhere cuz we still are not settled somewhere with kids and all the mambo-jumbo of a couple... oh we'll se as its all talk at the present moment ... more to come on that...



Thurs, 1st April...

breakfast was made and called chris to wish her a happy b-day. which took me a few hrs to find her as her phone was not working and then finally got her... heee.. .

i called the a charity place to come and pick up some stuff that we want to give away... they will come on the 11th of May... such a long time from now, dang!!! they will call a few days before they come...

G went to his meetings and then in the afternoon we went shopping of chris's b-day gift... headed to Future Shop and found the nicest microwave which, i wanted to get but G wanted to look around more... i got her a $50 gift-certificate from La Senza, a pink g-string with the slogan "BARBIE IS A SLUT", small back pack from La Senza, a strawberry candle and flowers...

we got ourselves from "fruit & passion" home fragrant mists 'bamboo & hibiscus' and 'bourbon & vanilla' with a small candle of bamboo & hibiscus. at "la rouet" we bought such cute candles shape like a strawberry, pineapple and watermelon.

in the evening i met her with melissa, steph and alex. we went to eat at "3 Amigos." it was ok food... i didn’t like my shrimp-burrito platter, as the shrimp was not de-veined which i do not even touched stuff like that... so everyone else had a little of mine as i couldn’t eat mine... got me a virgin-strawberry/banana daiquiri... it was really good... but poor chris 's mango/strawberry daiquiri was non-alcoholic which i asked for some more to be added and a shot was brought by the waiter which i think was on the slight gay side... he was really nice and sweet. when he found out about chris's b-day the waiters came and gave her a dessert with a candle in it and a mariachi hat! which she kept, they give them out to b-people... that is nice... cool... i went home with chris and G came to pick me up... it was nice... i was so tired... that when we came home i just drifted to sleep!...



Fri, 2nd April...

woke to freaken coldness... and as always-made breakfast. spoke to chris to tell me that she was coming over for diner with kyanna..

G & i went to Wal-Mart on jean-talon but no luck we did buy (intuition replacement shavers, strawberry shortcake bubble bath, and some stuff for kyanna's Easter-gift) some stuff heee... went to future shop at l'acadie... to get the microwave...

chris came over and i showed her the new microwave 'sunbeam' it was all metal/black. very nice she loved it!

i made chinese style spare-ribs, green beans with beef / ginger / garlic and broccoli & cauliflower... i cooked, if i say so myself it was really good and the presentation was great... as a few weeks ago we had gone to IKEA to get the rest of the dishes to complete our set of 12... yes 12 i don’t know i guess in the future we expect alto of people to come over or may be just in case we break some... hee... anyway, so the dishes were piled like mad and G washed them all... we had cheese cake for dessert chris brought it from her work... it was really good... coffee hit the spot with that... G was on call and he went to the hospital, which took a few hrs that ended chris & kyanna sleeping at our home. G came home at 1am... everyone was fast asleep by then except me i try always to wait for him... so i did he was so tired. he fell asleep on me... i stayed a bit up to watch the end of the 'taxicab - confessions' in the document channel.



Sat, 3rd April...

i woke up pretty early 7 am... started to make breakfast... pancakes, potatoes, sausage, eggs and smoothies... it was a great breakfast... G washed the dishes once again... by the time all was cleaned up and we had all changed... we had to go leave chris to her house... G and i drove her with her new microwave and we set it up for her... we left and came home to just be together we usually don’t have people over so we needed 'we' time... hee....

we went to chinatown got the bento boxes i wanted they are really nice they go with my set of regular Japanese dishes.. it's a good contrast with the nice Japanese dishes that i got in B.C, TO, and Boston... heee...

i wanted to go to my home but he was a bit tired to go so we just stayed home in the evening and listen to music and read a bit... diner was good ate lasagna and watched TV... it was a good night....



Sun, 4th April....

woke up and made breakfast... simple and easy... leftovers from Sat morning... lunch was good it was leftovers from the evening before... it was ok... we found out that the time had been moved back when we came into the room and found that the Illico machine was an hr ahead... and the computer was also an hr ahead... we had lost an hour... yikes!! G was like a tornado... he had to go to the hospital before his shift that started at 5pm, he left but not before i made him an excellent diner to take with him to work... he came home at 1 am stayed up ‘til 1.50am and went to bed.



Mon, 5th April...

woke up at 10am... made French toast, eggs and hash browns for breakfast... it was delish if i say so myself... G has gone to a meeting and is working in the afternoon... watching TV... soaps...i will keep on working on finishing the recipe-pages on my site...

i have not been doing much but cleanning, watching tv, cooking and going shopping... went to see scooby-doo 2 'monsters unleashed' with my godchild... it was fun her little friend (b-friend). she has an additude which there is no respect to adults. i think that my godchild may be too exposed to her and well, her mother doesnt care. i pointed this out and what does she say to me... 'oooh all kids a re like that, do you want her not to have friends?" i said "no" but damn...

oh well, i'll see when i have my own children, if i ever do...

i been trying to finish my page... which has been a pain... and a joy... all rolled up into one!

i have been terribly lazy at surfing as b-g keeps the modem most of the time... sharing is not so fun! we need to disconnect the modem connect it to mine and then vice versa! yeah that is the fun time i have every time i want to surf!!

well, time to go and have my left-over sushi and then repair the broken links on my page...

It’s been such a long time that I have blogged. I feel that there are cobwebs all over my blog... What have been doing? Hmmm... Well, I quit my job at the end of Jan. it just didn't work out. Trying to clean y old place as I’m moving in with B-G. I transfer all my mail to his place. Getting the house clean, washing buying sofas, a bed & dishes. Baby sitting my godchild, while her mom goes out. my birthday was the 14th, my godchild's b-day is the 19th (tomorrow). My brother's b-day is coming up the 22nd... Then Christina’s is the 1st of April & my niece’s b-day is the 30th of April, which I will be there to celebrate her 2nd b-day! I can’t wait! I wonder if the clothes I bought her will fit her. I’m sorta anxious to see them all… I haven’t seen them in a while so it’s going to be great! Plus, my mom has a doggy due to my brother leaving so she didn’t want to be alone. That is nice. He has the weirdest name that I can’t ever remember it cuz it’s so hard to pronounce for me anyways.



Done for now... I have been pretty lazy and have learned that I have carpal tunnel syndrome (bilateral, on top of it all) which makes my hands ache and numb in the morning I guess due to the years of computer junkie! When I go in the computer for long periods of time I pay for it at night. So its been taking me for ever to do my page... it sucks to be me... I have found a few dreams from December 2003:





Dream sequence not known!



I wonder what it means when you have a dream about giving birth to a boy who is a bit tan and with beautiful round eyes. Which reminded me of my brother when he was little I was trying to see how to raise him but at the same time finding food to give him. I asked two teenage boys for help one said maybe with a teasing manner towards the other and me said maybe but followed his friend/brother. They were at one point trying to kill me or hurt me. It was in a room that each side of the wall had bunk beds. That belongs to them. In the middle a rug I pleaded with them, but with no budging from either. I left but one gave me some food. Then they disappear, I went into another room, where an old lady was beating up another old lady and two people were just looking on. I tried to help but she came after me with the end of a brown 1/2 broken belt. She looked familiar then it became sort of like a home/street or hallway, even then I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was trying to cover my baby and out of no where Kelly Clarkson came to rescue me... she started to beat her up, karate style. Then the old bat came at her, me watching on the sidelines. Then I tried to call 911 on my cell but the old bat kicked it out my hands and went once again after Kelly but then she just jumped off the window. As the place was on the ground floor and near the staircase of the entrance. Reminded me of Armando's old apt on Marlow St. near Vendome metro...






12/17/03

Do you need me? The place where I’m working, the people are not nice to work with. I hate being here I’m depressed. Yeah, yeah. I listen to Ana, but then attitudes as happy as I am there needs to be some sort of feedback from others too. I don't know maybe I’m to sensitive, that maybe. But this is not working for me. I use to like to come to work, now I hate it! Don’t get me wrong there are those few who are ok, but I dot like my dept. everyone is always, it's so... and soo... fault. Blaming everyone else but then the blame-game starts neither side apologizing! Anyways, that doesn't count for what the atmosphere is like. I have been getting sick. I think it maybe caused by the ambiance I’m in. I hope the company gets good and profits but I’m sorry to say I cannot be part of it! I needed to write it or it would have come out when I talked.






When errors are done:



I never get told of the error. It’s like I don't exist. For crying out loud I’m just a few feet away, I can hear them whispering! freaked'



On top of it all if I have made a mistake it's either:

- R gets pissed at me and gives me attitude all day!

- Or she tries to fix it, and talks on a 3rd party way, which I am fad up!




Due to the above is a major reason that I left the company. It couldn't have been helped! Oh well, next!

What else has happened, let me think, hmmm... my mom bought a business which I am truly happy and I will go see her on the 21st of April, which is good that I will see my brother as he is not going to boot camp until the 25th. He was suppose to leave on his b-day the 22nd of March but he is not yet ready so they extended his PT for the 25th of April. He will serve 4years, which I guess is good. My mother gave him an ultimatum either he joins or he leaves home. Well, this was good the decision he made due to his crazy shit he was doing before, doing all sorts of drugs which led him to quit his jobs. Which my mom was pissed as hell! But now everything is back to normal and he’s once again on a good path. Due to the fact he is the only boy in our family he’s not put in dangerous situations, which I’m happy for that!!!

yeah ^_- !

one month & 11 days today... so much has happened. i have ignore you bloggy of mine... i started you to help me with my inner feelings and all my frustrations of daily life. i have come to an impass in my life. i guess now i feel a bit depressed and have let go of all that is suppose to be good for me. i need to start to get my priorities in line. so, x-mas holidays were good i had great time... i made a turkey with b-g and it was cool. passed my 25th at emily's. a few weeks later i wished all my blog friends happy holidays.... i once again did not update my blog. now that all the days have passed i havent really kept track of the days. but one thing that is stuck out is that i have quit the job. so im jobless but im some what happy/sad... the half and half things with b-g have gotten back on track. my puter is now at his house. i pass most of my time here in his house... and cleaning and now will try once again to find a job. i couldnt take it in that crazy place. there were some excellent peeps but for most of the part my dept was the worst. i try to fix it but they all freaken' denied the whole atmosphere and i gave my 2 week notice & only told like 2 peeps and another 6 found out! i wonder what the bla bla would be. i guess that it was all ok i love the surface of the company but the people just made it freaken' impossible. i wished that i was in another dept or working on the 1st floor. some said i should have been more patient but nah i am happy like this.. ^_^ ... started reading my driving course book and will try to get my permit soon... maybe in 2-3 months... yep! that is my goal. b-g asked me if i wanted to go back to school and what i really wanted to do... well, i really feel deep inside that i want to teach so i may go back to school to get the qualification for that. ok so im going on 31 and feel pretty good i just wish that things had turned different in my life but i guess things come up when they are ready for you. i will try to be more patient as i have a short span on that. heeee...

Ah!! did i forget that b-g and i broke up too! yep, we did! i had enough i dont want to spend my life in a useless relationship. want i want he cannot provide. oh! well next?! x-mas alone again but satisfied with my decision! i dont have regrets. i will calm down and see what happens but i will just lay low and just concerate on work...

on that thought todays was a feast for kings! we had our gift exchange/potluck thing which turned out amazing... i stayed up yesterday night til the early hrs of the morning trying to wrap the goddam present, like a dumb ass i had to many ideas on my freaken mind!!! dumb ass chick that i am!!!

need to say that i have been debating the fact of quitting at my present job, i cannot stand the people some times... it goes from hot to luke warm to freaken freezing in that office. i have mood swings but these people get upset at anyone who will take their shit! and well, cuz i am new i am the one to get bashed at! the chick who trained me... she got into a huff-puff shit with someone and well she took it out on me. i just ignored her all day and did my work. i thought about calling my mom and "saying ok packing my shit and moving down south with you, back to the USA"...

but then i realize i need to speak out i need to stand up and say something. so the conversation was with the regular people that i work with. i said it in a matter of fact not to point fingers:

"if anyone has a beef with anyone it would be appreciated if they deal with the person that they are upset instead of bashing the wrong person. and while on that subject if you have something to say to anyone say it to their face instead of either whispering it, like we all know what you are saying or going to the boss and taddle-telling like a 5 yr old. please people this is an office not a kindergarten class...

i loved myself... so i ended it and went back to work...

i just think people take the new girl for granted...

dont you??? heeee ^_^

the week has gone by and i have concluded that it was a dissaster. i dont know but i get the feeling of not wanting to go to work and my days are getting really long. could it be the routine has set in and i am once again bored at my job. the peeps are ok some of the time. i guess. it rained cats and dogs on thursday. i went to a restaurant to celebrate someones b-day. man did they pose a million questions... shit, i have nothing to hide and so i told. who cares i dreally dont give a damn what they think. as long as i am happy in my own skin. so anyways, i took some pictures they all look dorky as they all got taken at inapropriate times. they are at my fotopages.

friday was the x-mas party. i felt i didnt want to go as i started to feel dizzy and nauseau. put a brave front for a while but as i got into the place i really felt not like socializing at all. i sat in a corner and called b-g for 15 min. i had tried since 5pm and it was 6.30pm he had not gotten back to me. i wonder what was up. i hate that he has a pager instead of a cell. i have tried my darnest but i think that will be my x-mas gift for him. lets see if he can live with out it when he has it for a few months. ha! betcha he cant! hooking him to technology! yep, that is the thing! i hate that i was feeling so shitty. would have loved to stay and mingle. i think they thought either i was a total snob or a really shy person. ooh well, i guess i really dont care. we'll see what happens monday morning for now i am taking it easy and just updating my blog and my fotopage.

been reading my morning blogs this morning... OLDCATMAN has given me a small present... i love it... i think he knows my likes....he... Keanu!!! yummy baby! OLDCATMAN thank you very much for the thought. ^_^

ms.taz has moved to www.tasberry.com at movable type as of the 6th of December. Pretty nice place!!! visit her even though ... anyways, she's a nice lady.

Demi, Rieke, Gale (aka anonymous girl) and OLDCATMAN have been really nice people... thank you for that. Lynn thanks for the wonderful christmas card! ^_^



'tis the season... to be merry.... i am so happy this is one of my favorite seasons... christmas is the time for giving and sharing with others.... i find that as i get older i wish for others more then myself. i guess times a changing for me.





pppssstt.... Demi, has her own fotopage... if you haven't yet go visit her and OLDMANCAT has his own fotopage, too... heeee...

laterzzz...

well i get up today at b-g house and came at around 7am back to my place to get ready. i had to change to go to work. work has been tiring but fun. i guess the chickens are getting up with me or maybe is the other way around right mondo? anyways, so i get home call mondo and chat it up for a bit he had a blast this weekend that man can party his bro went home early as he has a child and as mondo put it your life changes once you have a child... ok so then i hang up with him and then due to a minor collapse of a brain cell i call my x-J which is not a good idea but i said what the hell not so i speak to him. he sounds likeoooh you still in love with me... but im married i have moved on and throws it in my face that i am not living at home... bla bla bla... what ever. he nutzo jobso... i cant believe i had some sort of feeling for this wack job. see what youth does it blinds you... stupid! yes it does. dont get me wrong i dont mean to be mean but please its been 2yrs and i have moved on with my life. plus i came clean with him. told him that all the 6yrs i was with him i cheated. i wanted to releave the burden of my shoulders. so, i came out and told him that b-g had been around for a while he was my f$%^-friend when he had to go home to his mommy and daddy... and that the last 2 yrs i had someone else and when we ended it i was still with him. ben is out since last yr anyways, now it's b-g and with this one i dont have the itch to cheat. x-J gave me the itch i dont know but i had never cheated on any one since him. i guess he was not the right one. and my mind was trying to tell me while i cheated on him.. true! no lies here. so the secrets come out. i needed to bla this before i do my freaken month of catch up time... freak its going to be long but i will keep it as short as i can. here goes nothing:

the official 1st day "OCT 29"
So, I wake up at 6:15am. took a shower 45 min. got ready.. didnt know what to wear and thought... "need to go shopping." as i am a shop-aholic #1!!! left at 7.15am took the metro to charlesvoix way. got in at 8.15am but took a cab (which cost me $5, down the drain). that 107 bus, i was scared to be late so, tomorrow i'll leave earlier. all day i've been training on the billing... learned 2 new ways. signed the papers that V_P_M gave me. took an hour lunch at 1pm. my comp was set but no log in, yet or phone. maybe tomorrwo. we'll see!?! called b-g but hasnt return my call. mom, emily and someone private (i imagine is architect_J) called me? oh well...

???? no date
it's been a while now but things have bee hectic. i have had to be in an intensive training for the past few days. work is ok, i guess but i have mixed emotions on the people who work here. there is... i cant explain it but a back-stabbing b/s in this place. i mean some have no class. but i will concentrate on the positive side of things and the people hav a few whxih i already like...
bee... i like she's sweet and nice
c_bubble... is nice but has a corky side
r_alert... is 1/2 and 1/2 mixed emotions on her...
V_quiet... what can i say, thinks things
j.. is in round land "baby-carrier"
m_head... she's sweet and has kitty kitty
l & c ... work together, sweet and nice but kinda in their own worlds... yep
a... is in the fron of the battle field
t... is let's just say that she's in her own little la la la land...

???? yet another no date
today was "fishy-time" conference... even a book was given... "fish" by s.c lundin, h. paul and j. christensen... went from a11 am to 12.45pm which was ok... AY is ok but scares me a bit... i see that if b-g meets her, they may somewhat match but nah!!! as they are both from the same culture, you never know.i guess i'm a jealous, even if it's just in my head. can i be a bit paranoid. i think that things are ok for now but need to see if something better can come out of the horizon. let's see if its worth it. getting all this info into me, with a tremendously low pay. less then what i made in IPG dang... i guess i can come with it for now!

11/11/03
today i came in (8am) early which i will not be leaving untile 5pm. b-g drove me. he was like ur going to work early. i was like , yeah so?? i came in and my b calls me for a meeting and well spent 1hr almost discusing what i had been doing for the past 2 weeks. it seems that i have been branded a "talker" and may be a perfectionist/ "cry baby" or pushy what ever you call it. i came in with a sad attitude. i think that if you spend 75% of your life in a place where you hait it, then you should figure out if that is what you really want to be doing in your life. i have to think......... i always do that ... say it but never really take my own advise. my life is some what happy but i think that it could be better. yes! do i see myself in this place.. breathin and experiencing??? now, things get worse for me. everything is upside down. i feel upside down. i wish things could be easier, happier, nicer, prettier, i am a dreamer. i that is what i am, i know i dont belong here. yep, this is mymind crazy and always hthinking, of things. memories, thoughts, anticipations, and everything else in between. i am sor of nervous because i have given some thing that has been kept personal for always. yes, i share it with strangers but rarely with one's i know. why is that?????

11/13/03

almost 2 weeks without a bla from me. the training period has not ended i spent last weekend reviewing and doing some stuff... dang is my place a mess! i havent lifted a finger. havent even openned my emails, at all. i guess i been lazy. work is good on the tuesday that i went in at midday i met everyone there but i still cant retain all the names. shit! oh well soon enough. the peeps are nice, for the moment you never know what can transpire in the next few months, yrs, etc...

well the 29-30 i spend the day training with a r-b but by the 31st i was on my own, billing. dang, it was fast but i still go to her which r-b didnt really train me completely. i know it takes from her doing her work but if i dont learn properly then the billing will have mistakes. i dont want that.

the 1-2 of nov was spent at Boo-G's recopying my notes and re-reading them. ooh, and did my laundry! 3-7 was working, learning, and billing. nothing out of the ordinary through out the days. but at night i spent it at Boo-G's place. i had left my place there untouched with out a sign of me. although, i'm still a bit worried over Mondo cuz he hasnt call and i have left him tons of messages i hope he is ok. dang (call you freak, i'm truly worried!!!!) he's become an uncle maybe that is what has kept it out of the spot light i dont know, i'm just guessing.

well thursday (6 nov) night i met with emily for a bit she needed to give me my topper-ware stuff i bought from her. she had had it in her car since September. dang! 2 months, yikes! anyways, im going to her eldest son's b-day that will take place the 29 of nov. which will be great no doubt!!

on friday (7nov), the evening was going to a foundation diner to raise money for "the Foundation for Research into Children's Diseases." this diner was organized by one of my co-workers, this will be her 4th year with the foundation as she lost her 20 yr old to a desease, 4 years ago. she started to get involved and has gotten the company's head to go with it too. which is great. they do this every year. it was fun. i sat with n-k and her husband, s-m (she's a very retro kinda of chick, the coolest glasses. imagine she has a neon green room with leppard skin sofas.) and l-s and b-ll (couple). very nice people and kinda wierd at the same time. they asked me my age i guess i dont act my age, 30 and proud! but they had an office poll to know who was the youngest at the office and they had all concluded that it was me. but nope i aint no 21 yr old spring chicken. heee. so i guess i told them.. haa.. they ask what i drink to keep myself young and all i said was water. but truthfully i dont do squat that is how it goes. to tell you that when i found a gray hair it was gray at the bottom instead of the root what is up with that. the pigment to my strand of hair was coming back. so there goes the my theory. i think its my genes. they like to stay young! i dont know i'm just guessing on that part.



hey looking young can sometimes have its pains:



1. not being taken seriously

2. jelousy!

3. young bucks, instead of the mature gentleman


those are just a few which i have problems with still. i dont understand. what is up with that. i am a very nice woman. i don't like to harm or be harmed for that matter. i consider myself very open minded and truly sweet. yep! i know who i am, but i come out sometimes being a bit dumb. once co-worker even asked if i had ever been a blonde, now for me that is a stereo-typical which i think that has been done by the media over the decades. to tell you the truth she was a blonde, for her to pose a question like that made me think? what??? i guess it must have been just conversation. oh well just a tid bit i want to remember in the coming years. heeeee...

anyways, i have written a few notes on my feelings through out the 12 days i havent been blogging but i dont have them at the present moment. i guess i will try to add them at another time. that is is for this one... laterzzz...
