An Affected Generation
So for the past couple of nights I’ve been working with this girl who seemingly has the same issues with lack of direction in her life. This is something I’m discovering is common grounds for so many people with professional jobs who got them right out after they finished their schooling - anyone from teachers to nurses.
Except that these people, these kindred spirits that I’ve...
Dear brave, scared kindred spirit
Lunchtime chatter about reality TV and How much men should spend on engagement rings Makes my heart ache for you, old friend
You who always challenge what you’re told New concepts, rebel ways Strong in the face of pain and death And weak when snared by convention, the mundane Shuttering before the dark abyss of uncertainty Terrified, but stubbornly meeting its eye We don’t always get the same...
Working stiff
I really, really, really do not want to go into work at this moment in time. Really.

True say, homes! I love me some honey and hot water and cinnamon. Best. Hot drink. Ever.

Library Time
Right now, Den and I are at the library - we’ve been here since 1:30pm. He’s trying to make up some work hours on his computer (which I am using to post - so how much work can he possibly be doing? Hehe.), and I am looking up articles/books of interest - specifically those concerning food equity, food policy and economics.
I know this sounds incredibly geeky of me, but my interest in...
Direction (or lack thereof)
This is the first time in my life that I have felt a lack of drive to do something. Finish elementary school, finish high school, finish university - now what?
I can’t even commit to a lease because I don’t know where I want to be or what I want to be doing in my life (outside of my career). How could I ever commit to a mortgage? Beyond that, do I want that whole bourgeoisie...
Comments
are back, I lost the script when I changed my last layout but now I’ve fixed it again. Yay for pre-made themes… all I have to do is fiddle around with the colours. More people should get tumblrs… they are so easy.
On my plate in the coming months
possibly paddling with West Rouge Canoe Club for dragon boat
road trip out East in April with Kath and Den
possibly a trip back to Hong Kong (my first!!!) with my family and Den
coaching MW Dragon Boat
possibly coaching a Dragon Boat team for the Toronto Chinese Business Association
at work, getting 3 units under my belt by February and possibly a 4th in Trauma
possibly transferring to...
I. Love. Snowboarding.
That is all.

On Moving Out
While enticing, the notion I have of moving out is rather stressful. There are so many factors to consider that I get stressed out even thinking about moving out.
For one, when I move out this time, that’s it. I won’t have my room here anymore, or any things at all - this room will belong to my older niece. It’s a strange idea for me to get used to, one that I am slowly starting...
New Year's Resolutions
I know my resolutions are similar from year to year, but really, this is ridiculous. I’m tired of being disorganized and all over the place. Here are a few of my resolutions:
make my bed every morning day (I sleep in the morning after night shifts).
floss before brushing my teeth.
file work-related papers right away, or post them on my bulletin board so that I don’t lose them. In...
I am so grateful that there are things in my life that can make me smile on the most unsmiley of days.
