Day 41 - It's been awhile.

Well, it's certainly been awhile since I've posted on the blog. I been WAY too busy with stuff to do over the holidays to even consider it.

Anyways, I had a great Christmas with my family. We got lots of games and stuff, so we stayed at home and played those.

That night, my friend and I headed to Future Shop at 2AM for the Boxing Day lineup. When we arrived, we were around the 20th in line. Standing there in the cold, we watched as more people entered the line, and more cars parked out in the lot. Before you knew it, the place was filled with people. I think there was at least 150-200 in line right before opening. Anyways, got out with what I wanted for a GOOD price.

Amazing system. Finished Uncharted already and just started Infamous. Wii Resort is hella fun too.

That's it. Pretty picture driven. I'll be sure to post more often, probably not daily anymore.

G'night.

Day 40 - MERRY CHRISTMAS ! + Space Jam and Avatar

Merry Christmas everyone!!!


So I went to the Space Jam meetup with a bunch of other guys. It was great fun and I managed to squeak in a few pics of the day. Kinda disappointed at the fact that my Space Jams fit a little small. I might just sell them or just bear with it and hope they stretch a bit.

Here are pics from the day.





Hypebeasts LOL!

Space Jams...



Anyways, it was also my friend's birthday. Went to his birthday get together after the meetup. Happy Birthday Vipul!



I went to go see Avatar today as well. Great movie; I highly recommend it! CGI was spectacular.

8.5/10


That's about it for today. Everyone have a safe holiday and Merry Christmas!!!

G'night.

Day 39 - Holidays

Start of the holidays have been pretty eventful. I've been pretty stressed out about university applications, as I don't know what to go for, but hopefully after the holidays, I'll have a better outlook on what I want to do as a career.

Today, I went to a friends to play some MW2 and Melee. I miss playing Melee a lot... Gotta sharpen up my skills again with Falco.

Anyways, tomorrow I'm headed to Buffalo with my family. Hopefully, I'll find something at Urban Outfitters. I'll probably check out Nike and Polo for something as well. It's going to be fun!

Wednesday is the long awaited day... SPACE JAM PICKUP/MEETUP! Going with a bunch of sneaker/denim heads to go pick up the shoes, walk around downtown, and eat some wings.

Enough of my rant, it's time to go to sleep. Going to watch Utaban MM Shuffle episode on Youtube now.



G'night

Day 38 - IRELAND

Today was fun as hell.

Headed to school today to go solely for Biology class. I had nothing else to do but sleep in, so I decided to stop being lazy for one day. My teacher brought in his Wii and everyone packed in the small room to play. So many people were in there at one time, the head count was almost 40-50.

Played Brawl and Mariokart. Kinda pissed there wasn't a full roster of characters, but it wasn't that bad. Pulled out a Lucas win even though I haven't played with him in months. Got knocked out the tournament because of the stage choice smh...

Leap frogs.


Brawling.



Went home and played some Street Fighter before heading out again to Harveys.


Slept the rest of the day. Tomorrow is just chill. We'll see what happens.

Day 37 - 1 more day...

Bio test was an ass... Some new teacher wrote it, and it was harder then it should have been. The multiple choice was unnecessary and confusing and some of the questions were random. I hope I make it out with an okay mark.

Today, just the usual. My presentation went smoother then I thought in E&SS. We easily made it past the allotted time and I felt comfortable talking in front of the class. Good job Tyrell for your contributions.

Anyways, as promised, here are some pics from today:

On ice.



At home, had some ramen with pork, egg tart, and some coconut thangs. Vita Malt ftw.





Gone for the night. NHL 2k7 and SF3S time!

G'night.

Day 36 - Hectic

This week is really tight on work... I'm getting a bunch of completion work for writer's craft, which is taking up a lot of my time. Also, I'm bombarded by biology research and studying... All this stuff better be worth the 2 week break, which I'm sure it will. It's my only motivation.

Finally got my camera back today. Good timing for the holidays and the events that accompany it. Gonna take some pics tomorrow. I haven't even archived the snow fall yet.

I wonder what's going down for the holidays. So many people are going to be away or busy. I better find something to do soon.

Anyways, gonna study for biology now. Should keep me up till an unhealthy time tonight.

Day 35 - Step by Step

Woke up at around 9:30, still groggy from late night Youtube. It was quite a hassle for me to get up, but I finally got around to doing so. I quickly got changed, got ready, and headed for the door. It was time to go to Scarborough Town Centre.

We arrived early, avoiding the rush and the parking lot frenzy. I didn't have my camera with me, so I was unable to take pics of the Christmas ornaments and the huge tree they have set up in the middle of the mall.

I only picked up one gift today, which was not the best I could do. There's still time, though. For lunch, I had a nice sandwich from Michel's and some NYF. After that, I walked around a little more, avoiding places that I know I would spend money in. Nothing much happened after, so we headed home to relax for the rest of the day.

My iPod battery is horrible nowadays. I had it on for about 5 hours straight, and it was already 90% drained from a full charge. Usually, it lasts way longer and I'm afraid that it might run dry in the middle of the day...and days without music suck.

Now I'm going to start up Street Fighter and watch Youtube. I need some practice in Third Strike for sure... I have some inspiration from the Kuroda DVD samples. Well, that's about it for today..

G'night.

Day 34 - The Weekend is Here!

Just one more week of school and it's winter break. It's definitely going to be a week of hard work, projects, and tests, but we're almost there. I better start planning my winter break efficiently before I promise things that won't or can't happen.

My Canada Goose is so damn warm.. After a 10 minute walk in the snowy weather outside, my body was warm and moist. Amazing jacket... I do need a scarf though, my face was frozen!!

This place has been empty of pictures lately, simply because I haven't had the motivation to take pics. Leaving my camera at Omar's house doesn't help either (There, have your shoutout). For now, I'll just place random pictures from Google on here in replacement of the ones I am unable to take at the moment.


...and since Omar Khan wanted me to mention him in my blog, here you go.


G'night.

Day 33

Just came home from hockey like an hour ago. Finally netted a goal. It wasn't pretty, but hey, it counted.

My PBJ are coming along nicely. Love them. I wish they were more tapered though...

I wonder what's going down this weekend. Hmm.


Anyways, almost 1:00. Gonna listen to music and sleep.

G'night

Day 32

Snow fell hard today. I hate going out and shoveling in the morning, but it was bearable today.

Had hockey and couldn't net a goal if my life depended on it. I had so many chances and shifts, but the bounces weren't to my favour today. Oh well, there's always tomorrow's game.

New drum video. A collaborative effort from my boy Anthony and myself. Big props to him for learning the song and editing the video perfectly. Awesome job!



Time to go to bed. I'm so tired.

G'night.

Day 31

Good day today!!!

School was the usual. Found out I did pretty well on my E&SS test, which I wasn't too confident about. Glad I got the good mark though. In Writer's Craft, my groups fable play went smoother then I would have imagined. Even though everything was basically last last minute, we managed to act it out just fine, and also milked a few laughs from the class.

After school, I went home to be greeted with a Black Canada Goose Expedition! Birthday gift from my parents. Definitely a very nice jacket that will keep me warm! :D

Nothing too much to say today. I'm going to to turn on the PS2 and play some Street Fighter. Later on, I'll probably the newly uploaded Utaban episode and Whose Line on Youtube.

G'night.

Day 30

I haven't had much time or drive to update the blog as of late. My schedule is filled with Street Fighter, going out, and sleep.

Lately, I've had the feeling of nostalgia surge through me every time I hear a Christmas carol. I remember back in the day at Bendale when every class would go down to the gym and sing christmas carols together. I always sat with my friends, as we mocked and reworded the songs to our enjoyment. Those times are long gone, and it sucks. Childhood was the best.

I've been looking at the 8130 boot by Red Wing, and every time I take a peek at a picture, it screams "BUY ME!!". Definately a beautiful boot, and black would be very versatile, but I got better things to spend my money on... at least that's what I want myself to think.

I'm so pissed that Of Machines isn't coming on the tour to play on the 12th. The only band I'm looking forward to is Speak of the Devil, and they are probably not going to play for very long... Very bummed. I probably won't go anymore.

Off to bed... Almost 1:00.

G'night.

Day 29.

Yesterday, I finally got my boots re-oiled. they felt great when I wore them to dinner today. My boots are ready for the winter snow!



Today wasn't a bad day. I went to dinner with my dad and headed to hockey at about 9. Corey probably performed the best faceplant I have ever seen in my hockey career. I'm never going to let him live it down!

Yesterday, I found out that I only got 1 wrong on my biology test, which is great news. Since a lot of people in the other class did horrible apparently, everyone got 15 minutes to re-write any of their mistakes on the test. That put all of us in a good mood, as the whole class got a second chance at perfect, which is a rare occasion.

Time to go to bed. Saturday: Sushi Mountain

**Note to self... buy OF MACHINES tickets for next Sat.

G'night.
