Kitty in the bathroom

So just about 1.5 hrs ago i was looking for my kitty Mimi.
I just wanted to find how much she weighed.

Anyways, i couldn't find her anywhere.
And then later i found her somehow inside the close bathroom.

Poor Kitty was there for few hours. I think she was scared in there because i found that she peed herself.

The only time she did that was when she was getting her first bath.
She got scared and peed while i was bathing her lol.


Otay Dokey~~  TOOODLES :)

Wisdom Teeth

Holy crap its been a month since i last posted.

Anywhoo i had two of my lower wisdom teeth extracted on Tuesday (mar 23).

I chose to be put to sleep through out the entire procedure. I really didn't feel anything at all, i just went to sleep and then woke up like i was really really drunk lol. Took me a while to wake up and start walking...i think it took me an hour

Well so far recovery is going really good. My face is not swollen and the painkillers are working good. Just slight fever and tiredness.

But there is something which is really bad. I CAN'T EAT NORMAL FOOD!! T_T

Oh man i miss just regular food. Like poutine, chicken or pasta!...all i can eat is mushy and liquidy food :(

On the plus side i can still eat mashed potatoes and gravy...i think that will keep me sane from food withdrawal lol...

...but still...i want to eat meat  -drooollz-

anywhooo TOOOODLES!

Gonna be vegetarian

Hiya y'all!

So i made a decision on becoming a vegetarian (lets see how long that last -_-) but not forever ...maybe...

I'll be eating fish and tofu and the mock-meat (which might be bad, cuz most contain genetically modified soybeans)
Well the thing is i like meat...so this is gonna be hard. But if i do really really crave meat and must have it, then i'm gonna go with free-range-organic-feed meat.

Kudos, to people who are vegetarian and specially vegans. Vegans has to be the hardest lifestyle in my opinion. It takes lot of effort to buy food cuz you have to read the ingredients all the time.

I made the decision after watching a documentary called Food Inc. (<--link to trailer) and watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynhZzt9bVDU

Yeah, that made me grossed out and turned off meat. Its like when someone asked me recently if i ever saw a cow's eyes, and guess what they look like human eyes in a way.
And more cautious about produce items.

And unfortunately i will be handling and cooking meat. Part of the job description on being a cook.

So yeah if you do like meat and wanna stick to eating meat. Buy from the local farms and buy free-range-organic-fed meats. There is lots of store around and in Vancouver that offer those products. Just it cost more than your average Superstore meats.

Otay! Toodles! ...blah this post kinda feels lame.....anywhoo...5weeks of school left till semester is over

Insomnia...perhaps?

By definition it means difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or both".

I've been dealing with this for about a week now.

Kinda sucks cuz i feel tired throughout the day. Like today i made too many stupid amateur mistakes in class. I just wanted to slap myself for being like that.

I have tried to force myself to bed to go to sleep but i start feeling like my chest is closing up and feel kinda sicky.

Blah...i kinda looked up what can cause it...so i narrowed it down to probable causes

1) Due to stress from people i live with (cuz definitely its not school or work)

2) Depression ...just a lil bit

3) The caffeine pills covered in chocolate (lol kidding)

Something was also listed there but dont know if it will apply to me at this moment. One was withdrawal from medication, but i stopped around august ..i think. So its way too long ago for it to bother me now.

Two was trauma to the brain.The seizure i had last year did leave some damage.

Oh well if this continues for another week then i'm gonna see my Doc.

....since i'm done writing this...i'm bored again....wish there was some homework to do, then i can pass the time until sleep comes.


Anywhooooo!! tooodles my poodles!

Past year and New Year

Well since its 11days in to 2010. Sorry its late but I've finally accepted the idea that we are in the new-year, therefore i write about how my 2009 was and how 2010 is going so far...(<-- that is just bullcrap, in reality i was just lazy mwahahah)

Looking back at 2009...it was eventful...kinda a roller coaster ride for me, mentally and physically..
I had some significant changes that had happened. Lost a family member i loved. My health was affected. Lost a huge chunk of my memory. Lost support from family members. And was in state of shock and depressed for a while.

But good things happened too. Things that helped me move on and overcome. Sure i lost support from family members (due to career path i chose) but that helped to motivate me and drives me to prove them wrong. Bad news for them eh?

The most important thing, i figured out what i wanna do really (for future), well not by myself. I owe a huge debt to the "person" who gave me that support and made me realize it (Thankyou, even though you might say it wasn't that huge)

AND! i got an awesome cute, pretty, cuddly & fluffy kitten. :)

 So 2010, started good then it became bad. I became sick with cold or flu (watever) and was pretty much stuck to bed for two days. And on top of that first week of my rd semester started...yay me -__-

So do i have a new years resolution?...No..

I know what i wanna do and what i wanna achieve. So i'll keep on doing what i do and i'm happy with it. :)

So thanks to those who stick with me through out this year and more to come. ..damn this blog became long...and emo-y.....meh i'm an emo nerd!

TOODLES MY LOVIES!  XD
