No more specialty Coffees~I can only dream
Ah..........no more specialty coffees for me, not for awhile at least. No caffeine (coffees/chocolates), teas, deep fried foods,no spicy foods, all the food I like:( At least for the next few weeks....Sigh. But I can still dream of a mocha latte with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles...Yum....

New Specialty Drinks
These past weeks I've been trying some specialty coffees at work, and this is what I recommend from the "Timothy's" brand of coffees:
Sweet Pumpkin-nice sweet aroma
Irish Cream- tastes like a bailey, just add milk
Cinnimon Pastry coffee - unknown at this time.
This week's try: Chai Tea?

Ultimate Tournatment
Thanks to Everyone for coming out to play Ultimate this morning at Unionville High, despite the cold weather, there was quite the turnout. Even a few brave souls that wore shorts and t-shirts this morning. ME? I have my winter jacket, and mitts. It was just 5 degrees this morning. Thanks to Jon and May, oh and Baby Conner for letting me stay over. Not even Conner can wake me up, with his joyful sounds. At the tourney when I had left, only one injury. Sprained ankle. We were able to raise some funds for Bluefields in Nicaraugra, for the children. That was the purpose of this event, to raise funds for the projects down there.
Stay tuned for our next tourney, Ice Hockey and Beach Volleyball.

An Advil a Day keeps the Pain at Bay
Since Thanksgiving Sunday, Advil has been my "Best Friend"... Maybe I had too much fun the night before. Although all I did was go to my friend's wedding rehearsal. It was a good night of laughter, jokes, and playing DDR on the wii among other things. Chatted quite a bit w/ my friend, whom is a groosmen and also to the Best man, whom I will be walking down the aisle with. Vegetarian food, what can I say? I went in hungry, extremely hungry and so did my friend Len, but after eating a slice of pizza, a couple spinach puff pastries, fried rice, etc... I couldn't finish my cheesecake nor my cake. Overall good fun, the guys will be in for a surprise, muhahahaha...
Ok, back to Sunday...I had choir in the morning and I was a bit nervous but when I woke up, my stomach was in a lot of pain...severe cramps? Anyways, I was thinking, I can't deal with this now, looking through what I can find, I found a bottle of Advil. Yay! It kicked in at practice so I was able to sing...it probably didn't help that I was really nervous. Anyways, after Service, lunch, I went home thinking I could eat or nap, just to find out neither was possible. Guests started to arrive at my place around 5pm and had friends and relatives over til 11pm. It was a good time of laughter, wii playing and DDR on PS2 and lots of food...B/c of JB, I came up 1/2 hour later from playing DDR sweating and had to change. For those that know me, I rarely sweat. My brothers came over, one of my uncles, and my friend's father as well, so there was a mixture of Cantonese, English, and Mandarin conversations.
Monday, when I woke up, same thing...Advil must have worn off. Took more advil but then I think it has to also deal with bad sleeping patterns and gave me a massive headache. So I wasn't in the best mood when I went out to Scarborough w/ family that day, I wish I could be better. I did try to enjoy the day although I just bent most of it sitting around in Markham and drinking BBTea. When I got home, I did some homework, but didn't get much accomplished.
Tuesday, I was tight for time so I spent only 45minutes at the gym...b/c I had to hand in my assignment. Although staying up til 4am, trying to finish it, I realized that there'd be no way...considering I only had 2 out of 6 major questions completed. So I slept for a couple hours and went to work.
One thing that kept me going Wednesday was "Timothy's Sweet Pumpkin" coffee, it tastes really good....that and Advil. I think I'm coming down with something. I sneeze all day at work and a slight temperature.
Today, I got a bit more sleep, about 5hours but when I woke up, still sneezing and coughing. More advil...although I will have to cut back on Advil, it's gotta do a lot of harm to my body.
Thank you for the late night encouragements, and conversations to keep me awake these past few nights. It helps to know that there are people that stay up late, that I can chat briefly when I need a break. Thank you for your prayers and patience.

Long Weekend
It seems like today would never come...I thought yesterday was Friday and today Thursday. Yes, since school started, I sometimes am "confused"...It was a short day at work, went w/ co-workers to Milestone's for lunch...I had the Vegetarian Thai salad, it was delicous. Although $12.00 for a salad is a bit expensive but it was really good...with advacado, mixed greens, artichokes, etc...
Tomorrow, I'll be going to school, then to the library to study for a few hours before my friend's wedding rehearsal. It will be "interesting" details to follow.
Sunday, dinner w/ family and friends...I have two brothers, Jason and Henry. One is more like an "adopted" brother, I'm sure my mom treats him like family. I think he's over more than I've been home, LOL...but as always big sis (me) looks out for the both of them. Anywayz, it will be just us young adults playing the wii, while the adults have their chat...

Memories remain in the past
Recently, I went out with one of my friends that I haven't seen in quite sometime. She and I were talking about what's been happening in each other's lives and then about certain relationships...things in the past. Some of these were great memories don't get me wrong, but some brought back sadness, pain. I remember now why I decided to forget the bad and only chose to remember the good qualities/memories. Although, it's been awhile since I've had to go back, down that road, memory lane...and honestly, I guess it was good to talk about it w/ one of my girlfriends....I guess I'm not good at hiding my feelings, I'm like an open book sometimes. The outcome from this was that I was able to get to know her better, also seek advice as well, and most importantly talk about my faith. I cherish these moments most, getting to know each and everyone of my friends. One friend of mine, made me realize a few days ago, that this kind of act was very admirable...I think that was the word used. Putting others before yourself. Although time isn't always on my side, every moment spent sharing about life experiences, faith, is one step closer for her getting to know Christ.
The downside: Memories that I tried to forget, rather that I had blocked away in my mind, has resurfaced lately. Although I can't answer for why everyone behaved a certain way a couple years ago, I am only responsible for my own actions. Of course, there is a reason why it's called the "past" because, it was meant to stay there. Everyone was in a different stage, a different phase in life, just as you(the reader) and I are now. If each person was able to take away the pain, the hurt, that was said, life would be too easy.
