yesterday was a shopping day... first was a quick stop at rogers in fairview mall, as my new phone's battery had died tuesday after being only charged on sunday. i had called rogers and they send me to samsung's customer service but not satisfied i called the actual store where i bought it and they asked me to come and exchange it, which was done successfully! yeah!! then stopped at aldo's for some stocking stuffers for the girls! looked around winners/home sense nice stuff in there... then we headed off to angrignon mall to fruit & passions... they called me the day before to tell me about their 1 day 20% off which was my calling.... heee... a few hundred $$$ later, i had been satisfied... spoke to emily and chris while b-g was gasing the car! headed home to have diner & watched tv... heee...



woke to b-g gone to rounds at the children's... stephanie called and will be spending the afternoon with her... waiting for mr. b-g to get back... had a cake/muffin... yumm...



found a link to a recipe database program: duke software solutions. will see if i want it enough to buy it! heee...

so i have been thinking of the certain someone again.. should not, will not... gosh things have come to an end on that part... lets not be reminded of that... so bridget jones's diary is on... like the 10th time, heee... and watching it... can't help it... i like it... tried to watched that samantha thing on fox didn't work... went with stephanie for dimsum and went shopping chris came with us... but went home after 1/2 hr... slept over at stephanie's but didn't get much sleep the young one wanted me to get up early and the fact that i snore and kept waking her up and so she kept nudging me... heee... it was an awful sleep... went for breakfast but wasn't that hungry... took kyanna home... it was fun... but i was tired... didn't do much... watched tv... had diner... went to bed... chris came to pick her on sunday... it was all good... she stayed for awhile... b-g came home late... he was a bit upset due to the doctor replacing him coming in late... so that is why he was late... got some food for him and he ate... went to bed...

the last few days have been shopping, shopping and more shopping... gots me a canon ip5000 printer and a new cell(samsung e316) as well as b-g got a cell(motorola v220)... sweet that was today for the cells... and the printer was like 2 days ago... yep... nuts... gots some stocking stuffers for the friends and the kids... yep... hope they likes them... gots chris's gift and tomorrow is dim-sum and more shopping... went to look for a kitty but nothing seems to pop up i think we have to go to the SPCA for that... there only dogs for sale... and the people at SAFARI (a pet store) suck!! no help what so ever from them... children... yep i'm a bit of a bitch today... i want what i want and well i want it!! that is it... i am a new person, F$%@ with new years resolution i will start now!! no more b.s from anyone.. well not everyone... that is not true... joke! heee... oh well now i am rumbling on...

ooohhh... go a new read... he's a british dude that has a spunky feeling/sensation to the read.. yep! likes.. reminds me of oldcatman... i miss him... i hope he is doing well... hope his ears are burning as i think of him often... heee.... =^.^=

the 3 weeks in California were great!!! did the touristy thing:
started in SF then went down to LA to meet brother spent 3 days before he headed to Japan for 2yrs... universal studios, hollywood, beverlyhills, marina del rey, san predo, santa monica, redondo beach, santa barbara, monterrey, ventura, morro bay, san diego, sea world, sea port village, malls, heee... and so much, much more, more... heee...

it was great... did i say that again... yep! the food was yummy, the only thing was that the people were a bit rude... no patience... i guess they thought they were doing us a favor for offering us to shop even though we are the ones deciding to give them our money for the goods they were offering... let me tell you i didn't buy many things due to the rudeness of the clerks... as if... please... take a class on maturity and politeness... yuk! as for the sites they are amazing... saw a dead seal, heard the seals and saw a sleepy seal! yep all in one day!!

the curves on the #1 highway was a bit scary.. the scenery was breath taking... nice to tour but not to live... the cities are so full! wow... people due have a look of stay away or else... yuk! the beach was nice... got me some sand and walked around in the water... kinda cold... brrrr... it smelled like yuk!! no shells, had to buy... can you believe that... hmmm... so much land being cultivated and used for future real estate... it was sorta hard to think that maybe the animals soon would not have a place of their own...

so the passing was ok... b-g lost some stuff in ohare airport! kinda sucked... brought alot! went with 2 cases and came back with 3 cases and sent 1 box via post! jikes! heee... that is all...

so the trip is a round the corner... 3wks in Cali... can't wait... been bit of bitch lately to b-g the house is so upside down due to his med-journals... i can't stand that they are so old from like 91 to now... yes, do keep the ones from 2001 and up but what do you want with the ones from 1991-2000???? we are a fire hazard at the moment... we have no room for that!! plus, all my stuff is still in boxes... i cannot stand this... it's driving me mad! and we are off to Cali in 5 days... i don't like to come back to a house that is freaken messy... i should get help but no... i can't b-g has forbidden me from getting help... even my friends, yep the have come over, have asked if they could help... can you imagine... i am so embarrased... what kind of person am i if can't even keep my own house clean... but one thing to say is that it's not all my fault. freaken journals!! aaarrrggghhh...

Alana with the couple (Sally & Harry)... in the background it's Paola (Sally's bestfriend) and Bill (Harry's brother)...

We woke up to a really beautiful day... As I started to surf for a rental car and a hotel at great prices... I hear b-g screaming my name... saying "come here! something's wrong!!!" I go and what do I see mr. pikachu-nunun dead... not moving or anything... I cannot believe he went so fast... ok so I had him for like 6-7yrs... his 7th b-day was coming up in Nov. but I guess he will miss it... I will miss him, b-g will miss him... he was a cute fellow... hee...

mr. pikachu the chip-boy!!!

and here is my small ginpo donabe pot!!

my big donabe pot from ginpo!

we went to T.O. for 4 days... b-g went for the annual resident-exams... he was an examiner but this time he graded them... bought a few things at chapters and then went across the street to eat at Montana Restaurant (145 John St. T.O. , Ont. 416-595-5949: no site!)... not to coflict with Montana's," 's " makes a difference apparently, as we were told by one of the hostesses... heee...

Ate at Hosu's the first day there... it was good... went to Silver Snail to get my dose of anime bookworm fix!! order alot room service like 3-4 times, yum! there was this really good pasta dish, which is no longer available as they change their menu every 6 mths. oooh, well... found a really good dessert which was made with bananas, 2 crepes, slice almonds, really good ice cream, a bit of whip cream and a almond/honey sauce... which was very dreamy!



on our last day... we took off and landed in Scarborough... Pacific Mall was our target... we ended up spending like 200$ in japanese dishes at Utsuwa-no-yakata (Unit F82 - 4300 Steeles Ave. EMarkham ON L3R 0Y5 905-513-2737)... which i love and got a set of 2 donabe pots (ginpo). very beautiful...



driving back to mtl. we stopped at the big apple in Colborne, ON... which the apple pie we bought was amazing! and let's not forget the apple chips! yummm!!!



Now we are leaving once again.. this time to Edmonton for b-g's sisters wedding on the 25th... we'll be there for 6 days... got the plane ticket already... gonna stay at the delta hotel and rent a car...

still working on my site at www.maizzy.com

just passed the last month doing things for the house... sitting my godchild and totally trying to fix the freaken puters.. plural! yep! i can't handle this... changed IP providers yesterday! monday bye bye to sympatico... so let's see how this is... yep 12 mths crap! wanna move... it's so hot right now i sweat as i write this... so i have moved almost all my stuff to my new email and trying to see if i can finish this before i melt...

i thank so very much Secret Agent Josephine for my emblem which i will add in the next day or two... i'ts so beautiful... i have uploaded it up to my fotopages.

as time passes i seem to learn nothing... i remain the same... i think and do things that would deffenitely be stupid for the next person... oh well, things can be worse... so i have learnt that the Quebec gov't over paid me on a bursary and it has been accumulating for the past 3-4 yrs to about $2,000.00. sweet, eh! i called and assked the woman who takes care of my case why was it that they waited until it got to $2,000.00, did they need my pathetic two grand that badly.... i told her that i hadn't recieve a letter from them or else i would have paid for it long time ago... now that it's gotten so much, they send a letter asking for payment in full... how upsetting is that, aaarrrrggghhhh!!!!



need to do... put up a small profile on blogspot, put the photos of SC, VA & MA on to my fotopages... go to the gym as much as possible... get the frustration of life out of me...



did a cheesecake from scratch a few days ago... i love the topping which i made from scratch too.. haven't yet done the hush puppies been a bit lazy on the cooking front... but been eating plenty of pasta this past few days... the rose sauce we got at the restaurant "pasta tutti giorni" and let me not forget the amazing the ceasar salad dressing... which we have gone back already to get another bottle... salad galore that i been on the past few days too... heee....



chris hasn't called me i guess she's not truly happy with me after the situation with kyanna... she acted very not nice... and i told her so... i bet that she will call when she needs a babysitter... yeah knowing her... well, that will come sometime soon...



armando been sorta taking some of my stuff i don't mind really but i need to say he has my stereo and my fan which i thought had been stolen but got a confirmation that he had it...



my carpo-tunnel syndrome... is still there... painfully there... i should do something about it.... as i get no action on my hands when they get numb.... even washing dishes get them numb.... i am just a bit scare over the small surgery... what if... factors roam around my mind and i just tend to live with it incase... as both hands get numb and have the syndrome.... sucks to be me in that dept! oh well, live with it!!!!



as for the badge still waiting, asked secret agent josephine for one when i saw the fish had one...



...b-g's been asking me to do a list of his journals for him... i had done one in the past but because of the so many viruses that infected my PC and the cleaning of it... i forgot to put it on disk and givie him a copy.. yep it got scrapped with all the junk on my PC about 5-6mths ago... so i sat a few hours in front of the PC getting all the links to his journals & some interesting sites.



got into a few arguments with b-g over the pack rat skills he has acquire the past 10yrs... i want a skilled organizer to come in and help fix the apt that looks like a crazy old man lives in... damn... what to do... and he loves all the design-show on life, HGTV, and others... what to do???



... so Sonny has like 3 kids and one on it's way... how nuts is that... Carly you are crazy... i guess you love the prick!!! Sam get over it... you stole Jason from Courtney... you go courtney Jax is a hunk! yum!!! As for you ass Nikolas go F-- yourself with that Mary slut and let poor Emily go to the arms of lucky! yeah!!! GH rocks so does... AMC!!! Greenlee du Pres sucks why Ryan why??? what's wrong with Kendall, you could have been the one to turn/fix her... i guess you didn't like the challenge... Babe for crying out loud JR is a prick!!! and for goodness sakes give back Meranda back to Bianca!! you bi-at-ch!!!



ARRRGGHHH!!! that has been my soap watch.... OLTL(so they are back together - Blair & Todd ... yikes, but the daughter 'Starr' is growing up! yikes... Kelly give back the kid 'Ace' to Babe [AMC]...) and Passions (nothing's really going in Harmony anyways, the same the same.... just Eve's secret has come out! yikes, poor Eve!) don't count too much as i don't really watch them that much....
