A New Beginning

Scratch that, my REBELlious phase starts now.

Project Rebel = Accomplished

I'm sure by now you guys are probably as sick as I am of hearing the term "Project Rebel". I for one was most frustrated with the term solely for the fact of it being just a "Project"; something that was in the works, something that I was in the process of completing. Well, despite it taking about a month and a half, as of yesterday, I am now the proud owner of a Canon Rebel XSi. My very first DSLR; this should be a whole new, definitely ongoing, learning and experimenting, "Project" in itself. So maybe the term was fitting. Nonetheless, I'm excited to have GGGB as a means to share and capture Life's moments with you guys! Be excited with me! That being said:

Don't all photographers take shots like these?

"The Man Behind The Camera", "Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder" type thing...



Yeah, well that should be a good start...

"Unpacking Porn"

finally finally finally!

Quickie

• Just came back from my Sociology final, killed it.
• Got away without paying for parking, once again. Saving money errrday!
  
• Now for the hard part... planning to stay up until the early morn in an attempt to be semi-prepared for my Accounting final tomorrow at noon. At least my sister is keeping me company; likewise she's studying for her (senior) Accounting final tomorrow too.
  
• But with the bad, life still manages to throw us the good: Payday, official possession of the Rebel, Mom comes home, TGIF, but most importantly a day/night off -- away from the books.
  
• OMG! Hi Ibemarleezy!!!
  
• I'm not a business, man. I'm a businessman.
• So jealous and so proud of you, Spare Crew (+GF)! Real World shit now.
  
• My goddaughter is getting so big so cute so fast. Highlight of my week seeing you guys. ♥
• Lack of outfit posts? Oh that's because I've been living in the same TNA sweatpants and American Apparel hoodie for the past 3 days. =/
  
• Chloe just learnt the concept of knock-knock jokes; so far she knows the "Boo-who?" (aw, don't cry) and "Ah-who?" (bless you!) ones.
• While waiting for my caramel frap at Starbucks/Chapters the other day, I came across this dope, little independent fashion magazine who's name I forget. Gotta make it back there sometime to buy it read it without paying for it. Again, GGGB is saving money errrday! LOL
• Miss you, just wanna cuddle with ya. Bye!

Ten Things From Today #13: Mina, Finals and Chuck

1. 
   
   So glad there's no hard feelings, thanks for appreciating my apology as a friend and professionally. Like you said, it is what it is and I was just misinformed.


2. 
   
   MINA'S BACK! Now my Tuesday's can resume as they should.


3. 
   
   Speaking of... I think it's funny how we all go to Hot Yoga at the same place but on different days of the week. Did anybody else notice that?


4. 
   
   $75 cheque from the Government of Canada; how much did you get and what are you spending it on? Mine's going towards the last little bit of Project Rebel, thanks for asking.


5. 
   
   B4d me, lately I've been parking in random lots that require permits. Have yet to get a ticket but considering I just said that I probably just jinxed it... shouldn't do that anymore. =/


6. 
   
   I should start studying for finals soon; it's expected considering I have 4 in the span of 6 days.


7. 
   
   Cleaned my room today, not worthy enough to be considered Spring Cleaning though.


8. 
   
   Stopped by Mikey's yesterday night for a bit, yay for living literally 30 seconds away.


9. 
   
   Currently driving with a temporary license, waiting on your my ID to come in.


10. 
    
    Can't wait to wash Chuck tmrw, he's so dirty. (BTW: Another GG hiatus? Nooo)

Bangarang

Gotta give you guys something, didn't wanna leave my loyal ones hanging. =)

• Last night was dope, agree?
  
• So many pictures to post, check back often for sporadic onesies once again.
• Guess my own I.D doesn't work for myself, great. Can I just sign my hand and you can compare signatures? Sure. THANK YOU SIR!
  
• Stupid flower man, you and your overpriced roses should get outta here. Oh right, you got kicked out.
  
• On the same note, love how you're always there to fight for/with us, thanks sis.
• FULL LENGTH! TAKE THE PICTURE FULL LENGTH!
  
• I'm happy for you two, if what you told us last night was true... kekeke double dates for sure.
  
• Hey, you're beautiful. What's your name? HAHAHA
• I am sick at playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" at the bar. Legitimately won my way out of taking two shots because of my madd skills!
• Total Scheduled Hours: (6.5). Total Shifts: (1). It's because of that stupid R word.
• You should buy Mandy a shot, she just got fired. =/ HAHAHA oh stop
  
• Project Rebel Update: I'm sorry I keep on saying that I'm going to finally get it, but then I think about it and realize how much of a distraction it would be -- especially before Finals. Gotta prioritize, consider it my reward at the end of semester if all goes well.
• Dad gets back from Vegas and Mom leaves for the Philippines; yeah, don't worry about us kids here.
• Regardless if this song is "old and from 2 weeks ago", I still love it (check the new GGGB bg beats).
  
• Good job watching the Floor today JK and ML, young grasshoppers. You guys will be great, I'm here for you. =) Remember, I went thru the exact same process.
  
• Likewise, thank you for the talk RN, it's nice to know that you believe in me (and the boyf) so much.
  
• Congratulations on the new crib, guys! Settling for pictures of the place from Kamii until I can see the real deal someday soon.
  
• Shibuya twice in one week? I'm turning japanese, I think I'm turning japanese I really think so.
• I love twittering. Especially via miPhone.
  
• Can I BBM him just to say Hi? Please? And the addiction begins. I think I secretly (well not so secretly anymore) want a crackberry...
• 2:14AM, 2:15AM, 2:17AM, 2:18AM, 2:22AM = Missed Calls from Jyesjones, only to call her back and find out that she saw a bunch of cop cars outside of M1 and was just calling to see if I was okay. Love you <3
• Tomorrow, I'm finally going to crack the spine of my PSYC and SOCI textbooks. B4d me, you should be using those more.
  

10 Things From Today #10: UPS, GG, and PR

1. UPS is such a bitch, $67.04 to be paid Cash On Delivery? Now I remember why I dislike ordering over the internet/from another Country.
2. On the bright side, that means that we finally got Ray's Unearthen necklace sent back to us after almost a month of it being back at the company because it was damaged.
3. Missed GG last night because we closed the store too late to catch it; the boyf should be downloading it as we speak though and we'll watch it Friday (so far away, I hope nobody spoils it for me prior).
4. No Tuesdays with Mina tmrw, or for the following two weeks after that; she is going on a humanitarian trip. What an angel... HAHAHA
5. Yesterday night we sold ten pairs of denim in the span of the last 3hrs; it's strange how many people decide to drop money and pick up a new pair of jeans on a Monday. I am not like that; shopping is it's best on the weekend.
6. Mom is out at the gym again, I am so proud of her she goes almost everyday now!
7. SOCI paper is still not complete and yet it's due tmrw. Yeah, no rush hey.
8. I really need to trim my bangs.
   
9. $100 more dollars put on the PR payment. Sooo close!
10. I am craving a vietnamese sub from Thai Thai very badly; haven't been to 17th in a while. I guess I'll have to do with the ones from Bake Chef in Mac Hall for now.
    

I Fly Like Paper, Get High Like Planes

I apologize to those who have been looking for updates this weekend only to find the same post from Friday afternoon over and over again but that is a result from a busy weekend. Some paper for you to look at in the meantime:






PROJECT REBEL. Finally went and put it on layaway, which was a smart idea because the prices are projected to jump next week but mine won't be affected. =) Balance remaining? Will be paid off sooooooon.





WITH VERY SPECIAL GUEST? What a smart way to make sales... no, Lindsay Lohan was not the "very special guest", although we all had hoped it was hahaha. Fun, last-minute night nonetheless; pictures to be posted later! (BTW: check the new GGGB background beats)





SUNDAY. I always find myself writing essays at the end of the week, it sucks.

10 Things From Today #9: Bad Luck, Midnight Practice and Marble Slab

1. Friday the 13th again? Didn't we just have one of these last month? GGGB wishes you all good luck on this day of bad luck.
2. There is a Prestige Worldwide practice tonight... at Midnight, and in Chestermere. You guys are crazy!
3. B4d me, you better go to your ACCT tutorial next Friday.
4. My boyf is so smart, helping me with my SOCI paper on Gangs. He knows so much 'cause he's in one. Just kidding.
5. Tita Bernadette called me today asking me if I could dance on the Coronation Night; honestly, I hesitated at first. I havent danced in so long I'm gunna have to choreograph something for myself.
6. Good thing Tuesday's with Mina has been doing my body good and keeping me flexible... hehe
7. PR = on layaway. One more month.
   
8. Does anybody know how to play the ukulele? She needs some lovin' I just don't know how to give it to her! I need somebody to teach me =(.
9. Finally, last night at the store we made beat goal for once. Treated the girls to a Marble Slab/Slurpee run via company money at the end of the night. =) Everybody loves positive reinforcement, no?
10. TGIF! TGIF! TGIF!

10 Things From Today #8: Breaking Bad, Business Law and Toboozening

1. Finally, BB started up again Sunday night, it is so intense already! I remember back in September when we found out Season 2 was going to start in March and were so sad because at the time it seemed so far away... crazy, where did those months in between go?
   
2. On the other hand, GG is just torturing me with this break that they decided to take. Gosh, come back already. I need my Upper East Side dose of drama; the drama here in Calgary just does not cut it.
   
3. My ACCT teacher was bashing Aritzia for its "high priced merchandise" and how he "doesn't understand this store" during class on Monday; I wanted to raise my hand and explain how well the company is doing despite the recession, but I kept to myself.
   
4. We need to start remembering that Peking Duck is closed on Tuesdays. =(
   
5. Gunna go buy my Business Law textbook soon because somebody scared me and said that I should start reading it now. =/ The class doesn't start for another 2 months.
6. Still have my TNA and Talula 50's left to use; I just bought this cute cropped light denim jacket for my Wilfred one (show ya later), and the Current/Elliott's I posted a while back as my Branded.
7. Going to be broke as a joke soon, I'm sitting down with DL tmrw to discuss going down to 1 shift a week before/during Finals and during my Block Week.
8. That being said, Project Rebel? Maybe I should postpone it a couple months? Nah, I want it now hehe.
9. Guilty online obsession: The Selby, expect some posts on this concept soon.
10. I want to go snowboarding at least one more time before the season ends, or toboozening!!!
    

10 Things From Today #5: Spring Courses, Unorganized, and Drop-ins

1. Spring 2009? BSEN Block Week, and COMS Spring session. Bittersweet, to get these two out of the way. Prereqs are looking to be completed in time!
2. On the same note, the Registrar posted the Exam schedule yesterday; I have three in a row. =( Remind me to book work my life off.
3. Mmm... the Dreamsicle smoothie.
4. "We tend to think about the past or the future, be aware of where your mind is right now. The most important thing should be your breathing, nothing else." The perfect study break: Tuesday's with Mina.
5. I love when mommy or daddy gives me change for parking. $6 a day adds up, srsly.
6. Project Rebel is projected to be completed and attained very, very soon. So tempted to take ART 235 in the Summer even though it wouldn't count towards anything...
7. Lately I've been feeling all over the place, unorganized and last-minute; it's probably because of the lack of using my day planner/calendar on miPhone. B4d me, I am better than this.
8. As previously mentioned, yesterday was Danscott's stage rehearsal in preparation for the 2009 Competition season. This year is my first year not dancing at all, and I miss it so much. It's not as fun tagging along (although tagging along to the competition in Vancouver and Seattle mid-April will be), plus being in the audience rather than on stage is just not the same; time to start accepting the event invitations on FB to workshops and drop-ins.
9. Guilty online obsession: Lookbook
10. I need to get back to studying, 4 more chapters to go. BYE!

10 Things From Today #4: Project Rebel, Lent and Opus

1. I'm beginning to think that once a week is not enough; I wake up easier, pay attention better and all around feel AWESOME on Wednesdays because of it. I want this day-after feeling errrday.
2. Can check off my previously mentioned Top 1 Must-See already; watched MILK last night with the boyf and we both agree that Sean definitely deserved that award.
3. Im starting to go thru TV series withdrawal; they are so mean making me go 3 weeks without new episodes of GG or HIMYM. Also looking forward to BB starting again soon.
4. I have about 50% put aside for Project Rebel. I want it and can afford it now but this is something I really need to budget for. Give me 1 more month.
5. Snow go away, I want to wear my new Wilfred pants.
6. Lent begins today, I'm giving up blogging.
7. Spring 2009 semester enrollment is underway; currently in a Business Law course as a Block Week session... f me how do you fit a whole semester into five 8hr school days? I'm scared.
8. Tavi from Style Rookie finally solved my lifelong need to determine what Zac Efron looks like. Thank you, 12yr old genius.

9. Opus Friday for JJ's Bday. Should be interesting, so much hype for this place from my friends who go there every single weekend and have so much drama to tell me about the day after...
10. SYKE! (#6) I'm actually going 40 days without pop and iced tea.
