§ DESIGN §
A gift layout from Metamia to her darling Stella. ^_^ It was designed using Paint Shop Pro 7, Notepad, Dreamweaver (got lazy with the manual coding), and brushes from here. Layout inspirations came from Sano and Nakatsu's shirts with their funky logo. Sano's shirt invoked images of crosses and grids while Nakatsu's shirt brought forth images of butterflies and fleur de lis. This layout looks best using IE 4+ and Netscape 6+ in either 800x600 or 1024x700 resolutions. It looks terrible in Netscape 4. >_<;;

Monday, September 24, 2001 >> 12:38 a.m.

on a side note~

aww jenni you added a pic of Champy...awww who's the cutest doggie in the world? you are champy my little baby!!

Sunday, September 23, 2001 >> 11:44 p.m.

now i remember why i try to avoid 'all you can eat' places...

because for me 'all you can eat' is really "all i can eat and more" ^^ today was mable's farewell and hello amy party and so we got a nice treat from the head honchos. but since i am semi on the bend of recovery, eating all that food after surviving on halls for weeks didn't settle with me very well..^^

i'm still sick god damn it...i don't get sick that often even rarely but this is beyond and i don't like it all....stupid imcompetant docs can't even tell me what i wrong...my mom is worried that i have the west nile virus..she thinks that i somehow got in contact with it when i went camping. i think that is a long shot

my dad is making me eat a peach...

i met one of the new girls today...and she seems alittle bit odd to me..already one of my co workers don't like her...but this girl seems a litte bit stupid. after we closed she was standing around doing nothing and i was like.."okay.." then she started to move around and i thought "okay she's going to do something" but then it happened again...and the third time she was standing for 5 minutes looking at the windex and finally i go to her and say "do you want something do?" and da ly said "this doesn't work"

i go "is it turned on..." jezz this is what the big puzzlement was all about..^^ "you have to twist the knob to turn it on, very simple on, off, on, off" so da ly looks at the little knob that turns on the windex spray..and she tries to fix her little dilemna but then she says "it's not working..." i look at it and see that it was already turned on..!! jebus..!! the imcompetance that i am surrounded with ^^ hahaha so i go to her "it's already turned on..see?" "just press the nozzle" *rolls eyes* suposedly this girl is older than me..^^

apparentely she is not the only slow one...^^

my dad made me some kong namul guk to stop the coughing, damn he put a lot of red pepper flakes.

Thursday, September 20, 2001 >> 09:20 p.m.

hello everyone i just came back from another boring night class of psy...

plus jenni I LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG...and you know i just like it for inuyasha ^^ *growf* hahaha but yes it looks very nice....i really would like to change mine but i don't have a computer yet and i didn't get my internet yet also. so that will be a big problem...

i really want to buy a scanner for scanning books that i don't want to buy sorry i am cheap and i am running out of money...^^ okay i have to go good night...

Tuesday, September 18, 2001 >> 02:59 p.m.

hey me again right now i'm on my break from design...so i have to do this questionare for this class and here are some question that i wonder about:

am i good person..?? now i really wonder about this question...i believe that every one is good at heart *except the overtly evil ones* but am i really a good person...^^? what's the best thing that i have ever done? jesbeus i don't know...it' s not like i saved anyone's life or did something for all of humanity... oops i have to go...bye continue later

Tuesday, September 18, 2001 >> 01:06 p.m.

so i have about 15 min. before my design class will be begins...

there isn't really anything new...i am really bored here but i did go out yesterday with my bro, davie...*jenni's real blood bro* and i went shopping with him. apprentely he really needed clothes all his was falling apart...and he didn't go shopping for about a year...yikes...and while me i always go about every week....so sad...

so i chose some really cool threads for him and he looks mighty fine...hahahaha and now he is already to go out and pimp it up, you go man! and he bought me shirt which i thought was really cool at gap...aww isn't he really nice...???

plus my friend sonny came by and dropped off his $500 dollar camera for me to use in my photography class...yah hoo...but i'm kinda nervous...i'm not clumsy or anything but i worry bit because that is a f***'en expensive camera...^^ but i will be very careful sonny...don't worry... just about 3 hours ago i just did my first painting and ...it SUCKED..HAHAHA man i am really out of practice..

and that's been my day so far..bye everyone...^^

Wednesday, September 12, 2001 >> 04:39 p.m.

today is day two of the attack on America..now i don't really like the americans and all their wacked out ideas but i am really scared for them and the whole internationl community...terroist attacks...it's so surreal and it seems so much like a movie. i keep wondering if this is a big nightmare that won't stop playing...

how i found out about the crash was really odd...i was walking in the halls of Sheridan college, when i saw a sign saying to sign up for this bank card. and i said out load "i should do that soon" and the woman there was like "yes you should" and dragged me to the table ^^ i was talking figuratively...but then she explained that all day was really slow because of what happened in the US. and i was like "what happen?" and she gave me this look "where have you been?" so she tells me that the world trade towers where demolised by terrorist attacks..

you couldn't believe my shock...i was like "yeah right lady and i'm jesus" but she told me to look at the internet on her laptop...so i did and all i see on the cnn site is a HUGE ASS plane fly into one of the towers...!!! oh god...then the titles kept on coming...the pentagon...the second tower...both towers collasping...the US basically calling all out war...the palastins celerbrating...the army, navy, etc. all called out...the total devestation...i was dumbfounded...i am really worried that the american's are going to call out a WWIII and the whole world will plunged in chaos and darkness...my heart goes out to all the victims and hopefully that many of the people under the rumble can be saved and hopefully this can be resolved without more carnage and bloodshed...

and i hope that bush can prove to the world that this doesn't have to be violent retaliation but rather just bring the people responsible to justice...

Tuesday, September 11, 2001 >> 08:03 p.m.

it's been ages since i wrote in this thing but it's not like that anyone really reads it so who cares right? awww internet how i have missed you...^^ my res is very boring because i have no entertainment...no comp, or tv. sigh i am so bored...but my mates are very nice i get along with them so far...so that's okay... argh...i hate all the cost that are involved in university...books, art supplies..food...everything...and i still didn't get my osap yet...^^ i AM SO FREGGIN happy that i worked soooo much in the summer because i have a nice big nest egg and a independant disposible income...i don't have to rely on my parents so far. oops i have to eat and then i'm off...^^ so toddles...until i come back home to internet...

Tuesday, August 14, 2001 >> 10:04 p.m.

the count down is on...about 3 weeks left till i move to res. and go to university...^^ wow this is so cool..i sent in my fee deferal papers yesterday and my osap should be on it's way...

now i have to figure out what to pack to bring to the school..my clothes, art supplies, some dishes etc...i'm really getting tired of work..i love work but full time is very tiring...and i am surprised that i lasted this long..since feb. i think. to the end of aug..^^ 6 months..man that's alot.

my cousins from baltimore are coming around the same time as i'm going to camping. i haven't seen them since 4 years ago..wow that's a long time...on a side note..hey jenni, ya back home?

Sunday, August 12, 2001 >> 08:09 p.m.

my cousin's wedding yesterday was better than i imagined it to be...it was beautiful and fun...now karen was marrying a irish guy which is okay but the really cool thing was that they also celebrated it the traditional korean way...and kevin tried to speak korean *in a hideous accent*, well he has a english accent, and combine that with garbled korean. it equals to badly spoken korean..^^ but i give him a 10 in effort...

compared to my other cousin's wedding this was ten times better..at lisa's wedding it felt as if the korean side was out of the picture...but at karen's wedding, she tried to include all of us...

i want to say more but i feel very lazy right now...since i just came from a hectic day at work...so i think i will go to sleep.

Thursday, August 9, 2001 >> 11:36 p.m.

so on the highway as my dad was driving me home from work...i looked over and saw this car ahead and beside us..the side panal said "first choice security" so as we pulled closer to the car i was expecting this hulky tough guy...boy was i wrong..

your expectations for a security guy doesn't run along the lines of a obese short man plus he was smoking and lets say that he wasn't in tip top condition. ¬.¬;; the only thing i can expect him to guard is doughnuts..>.< so i guess i has this look on my face as we were passing by and my dad gave me this "did you eat something wrong" look...haha that security company won't be my "first choice"

today i realized that i am so intergrated in my work that co workers call me at home for help..i was taking a nice nap and my cell phone rang..so i thought was my alarm going off but instead it was lisa asking for help in what to do with a certain customer...well i did say to call me if there were any probs. but i was taking a nap ^^ so i was kinda half awake and i think i gave good advice...dunno...

i got the reply to my student loan and boy am i getting alot...jezz i'm going to have to some debts to pay off..^^

Wednesday, August 8, 2001 >> 10:03 p.m.

chopped about an inch and a half of hair..^^ one more step closer to dye-free hair!!! i did this horrible dye job before and i have been growing out the colour for about a year and a half...very close to 2 years...now there is a bit of brown at the bottom...nice..!

i felt like a shake and bake chicken today...toronto has hit a new record high...38 degrees or 100 farenhite (okay i know i spelled that wrong) but to the americans who think that canada is all cold and snowing...up yours...^^ for heaven sakes we are hotter than texas...screw god bless america, god bless the bastard that invented a/c.

so last night i downloaded this cool song by a korean singer named maria called candle eyes..apparentely she is a new hit in korea...and i think she is pretty cool..she was trained as a opera singer but she released a album. it's a mix of opera and trancey/trippy music...i like it...she kinda reminds me of alyesa[?] keyes. bloody good song...^^

okay need sleep...the same old is going on tomorrow..

Tuesday, August 7, 2001 >> 11:38 p.m.

*dum dee dum* drying my hair..

nothing new...work was really slow...and we had to send someone home but she didn't mind..it would have been me..but olivia was working so i stayed longer so i can hitch a ride with daddy..

i just realized that school is going to start very soon..wow..i need to do somethings..1 is that i have to check if the registration office got my osap...and plus if my res thing got the right ppl throught snail mail...

this sat is my cuz's wedding (#3) and i think it will be okay..but i am getting freaked out with my whole family. they keep telling me that i am next...yikes..talk about giving me the hibijibes. technically i guess i am *since one cuz is considered a lost cause, she is over 30 years old and considered a old maid that missed her chance in marriage..also her younger sis was cuz #2 to get married. so i'm next but that's not taking into consideration of my male cuzs..they are excused because they have a penis. ^.^

i guess this is where the phrase "sowing your wild oats" come in...what a bunch of crock. so back to my so called marriage..i think having a boyfriend is the first step then marriage [??] god i hadn't went out on a date like forever...and i don't even recognized the opposite sex anymore, so where the hell does a husband fit in?? sheeh...^^

Saturday, August 4, 2001 >> 10:50 p.m.

ugh i really hate slow connection...for some wierd reason it's ultra slow today...i have to call the phone company to complain!!! i have been waiting forever...i do wish i had faster connection but that is a extravagence that i will have to live with out until i am in school

so i found out from my manager that i was helping the person that they did for a our secert shopper program. basically a person is hired to snoop in your store...and tata i was one for the lucky few that helped one...so mable told me the comments and they were pretty good...but i got only a 68% but i don't take these things to heart because i know i give good customer service...plus i heard that wendy and christine hired their friends/family to do this...and since i don't really hold them to be very smart business ppl, i have a feeling that their "evalution" is bogus.^^

gee, i wonder if jenni is back...since she DOESN'T call me i won't know, will i? o.O?

so i better go to sleep..since i'm going to work then clubbing again..^^

Friday, August 3, 2001 >> 11:33 p.m.

awww...god bless the bastard that invented ac...blessed air conditioner. today TO was a nice 29 degrees, not as bad as a few days ago, where it was a whopping 37!!!

so today i was a bad girl and i bought a skirt and 2 pairs of shoes..^^ oh my! the shoes i love. for both i paid just $77 bucks for leather! and the skirt was too cute to resist...i went shopping with my partner in crime, carly...she's worse than me..!! she bought shoes *1 pair* a top, 2 tops for her bf, and a sweater. she blames me of course. saying that i somehow influence her in buying all these things..^^

now i made a vow, when i quit gap that i will not buy anything from there..but then boom, they get all this great shit and i was like "why the hell did all this stuff come in after i quit and i can't get the 50% discount!!" well there are only a few that i would really like 1. a ruffle sleeveless blk top, 2. button down dress top w/french cuffs ^^ i have tons of dress tops but this one i was looking forever 3. and this cute bag...*i can hear all my friends yelling at me, i really don't need a bag, i'm just a bag whore* now those are just the few...but if i had my way i'll buy a whole shit load.

i am going to make a list of the things that i need before school starts...but i do have some rules..i don't buy anything that's not on sale except when i know that it won't go on sale...or i was lookin for the same thing since the dawn of time or it has to super cheap to begin with ...the skirt was $30 w/tax [not bad for a wool mini] and the shoes were 70% off then additional 25% off...^^

aww shit i'm just trying to justify my spending, oh well it makes me happy...and i love clothes..^^

Thursday, August 2, 2001 >> 11:17 p.m.

okay so this thing looks okay..^^

you know what? i really don't like dirty old white men who want asian women. doesn't that sound so racist? i'm trying not to sound racist but in this case it's really hard for me to explain what happens to me almost everyday...
so at my work *bitter sweet* a jewelry store, the majority of the worker's are asian descent and female..and this is the main reason why we are targeted by a lot of males..especially desperate old white guys..

so there's this one guy that comes to our store at a certain time everyday **it's like clock work, man!!** and comes in from the second entrance, walks in front of the cash wrap and out the first entrance. all he did was say hi/good morning as he was walking into/out of the store..this took about a good 3 secs then he was gone..

at first i was thinking he was a customer but he leaves before i can say "can i help you?" but since i started to notice that he ALWAYS comes in, then i was like "what the hell??" plus not many of my other co workers notice who he is ** i think he only says hi to me* so going on...

a few days ago, i was at the cash wrap typing something on the computer, mr.x comes in the same way and says "good morning" but as he was halfway through he goes to me "is it niho-ma? or neho-ma?" i look up and say in this deadpan voice..."i am NOT chinese" ^^ and then to surprise me further he says "un nyong ha se yo" **basically hi in korean**

okay one, i was shocked that he figured out that i could be korean **unlike some other ppl** plus he know how to speak? wierd...now as he was saying this, he was still walking and then he ran right into our security walls *rolls eyes* that dumbass didn't realize that was right in front of him, all he was doing was staring at me and not in front of himself...i didn't laugh at him. maybe i should have..^^

so today he came in the store again and this was different...He says "good morning beautiful. stops walking, takes a step closer.."oh i see you are good with your hands. well i got to go to work, see you later" *leer* o.O? i was fixing a bracelet...uh and i didn't like the look he gave me...**shudder** ewwww NASTY!! argh, i get hit on men that need a wife/or another man!!! on the bus too...but there i can pretend that i can't speak english..and start to babble nonsence korean...but then some think "score! a chick that doesn't speak english, now i'll just talk to them more" and then they won't shut up!
jezz i guess it's not as bad as the old chinese/asian man that paces in front of our store and just stares at us...**shiver** pretends to go outside then comes back for like 2 hours...*puke* i feel oddly naked at moments like that.

Thursday, August 2, 2001 >> 11:10 p.m.

wow i haven't wrote in this thing **flips pages** for a LONG time!!! ^^

so i decided to change my layout. hopefully i did this right...so testing one, two, three...
