    THURSDAY 10/20- The Day I Received a Semi Brand New Phone

     To be honest, I couldn't wait for school to finish, I've just been excited since the day before to get my semi new phone. Albeit, it isn't the latest model. For the price I paid though, who care?

    Nokia N97 Mini. BARGAINS FTW!

    Favourite part of dental visits? When the chair get lowered down!!!!

    I got it from a coworker who used to for a couple of months after purchasing it almost brand new from another coworker. I was at the dental office the day before since Ma'dear and baby brother had appointments but coworker forgot to bring the phone much to my disappointment. Anyway, I had to come in the day after (Thursday) for a filling, but I just couldn't wait! 

    I used to dislike silver fillings, but now I think they're kind of awesome. It adds character to the teeth, don't you think?

    Pictures from the new cell, look at how much better the resolution of my new toy is!

    I met up with Ate LG in SFU after my dental visit. I got hungry, and though I was still numb in the mouth from the anesthetic -least favourite part of dental procedures- I convinced mommy to met up with me and buy me food. And of course I took advantage of the opportunity!winkysillylaughing

    We ended late though I didn't get much done. 

     

    FRIDAY 10/21- The Day My Life Flashed Before My Eyes

    It was a half school day, I spent the rest of the afternoon after class asleep. For some unknown reason to me, Kuya, decided to be nice and lend me his car voluntarily.

    I figured, he must have been high.  Or ate a really bad shrimp. 

    Of course I HAD  to take advantage of this SUPER RARE opportunity. So in the evening, I'd called my usual out. I'd originally wanted to see a flick but CB convinced me to go to New West. 

     

    CB, MF and I ate at a Restaurant Lounge that was unknown to me despite it being only a block or two from school. The place had a nice aura to it. I even saw some of the people I had started out my school with. Now they are all graduated and have written their board. I couldn't help but wonder how it would have been like had I not screwed up my schooling and had finished with them bummed *sigh*

    While those two indulged in alcoholic beverage, I, being the responsible driver that I am, stuck to plain cranberry juice pleased

    Nachos and Chicken Cordon Bleu 

    Late dinner was tasty, Ate LG eventually met up with us and it was all in all a good evening, until  it was time to drive back home...

     

    It still makes me nervous and shake my head on my self for my own stupidity. Granted I have never been in a really busy area in the short time since I'd passed my drivers license. It wasn't as though I have never been around the area, but my already poor sense of directions just gets even more muddled and disoriented when I'm behind the wheels. That plus it was at night time. I just kept making wrong turns, so eventually my friends had to coach me through. 

    As I was heading back to the street after making a 3 point turn in a residential area, I'd accidentally taken the wrong lane and instead got on the wrong side of the traffic. 

    It only took about .0000005 seconds to realize my mistake. 

    breathe. breathe. breathe. 

    Luckily there wasn't any on coming traffic. Though all the vehicles were half a block away at the stop light, their lights turned green and I just saw my life flash before my eyes. This is about as near to near-death-experience as I'd ever been in. I knew I had to act FAST, so as quickly as I could, without any regards to my brother's vehicle --or apparently the traffic behind me either- I reversed and got on the right lane. As I was reversing though, in my panic, I didn't realize that there was a car coming up behind me quickly. I must have had the Heaven's entirety watching over me that night, because I just narrowly missed hitting the car. Imagine the mess I would have made!

    Kuya's parting words with his keys: "Clean my car and do not crash"


    Needless to say, I was in a total state of shock, but I had to brush off the nervous adrenaline rushing through my system for I still have to get us home safely. It also helped that ate LG was giving my words of encouragement, I think she really sensed my panic.

    Poor MF sitting in the passenger's seat must have been so traumatized. The last coherent words I heard as soon as I made the mistake was her screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

    Thank God and the Heavens that I managed to get us back safe. We actually ended up back in my place to watch Paranormal Activity 2

     

     

     

    SATURDAY 10/22- The Day I Finally Worked

    The night before, when I was picking up CB,  I'd received an urgent phone call and text from my coworker since 2 of the people working the next day are ill. I've been seeing a pattern where, the more I say that I think I'm fired, I miraculously get a shift. 

    Kuya also lend me his car again. But I feel like I half sneaked it out since he was still clearly asleep when he agreed to it. 
    I did leave early in the hopes of studying, but again, I just spent the afternoon/evening asleep until it was time to get ready for DV's  much anticipated birthday celebration. It was to take place in a party bus, which I quickly learn, was basically a moving club. Not really a big fan whatevah 

    I went there with MF, she offered to come get me and in turn I offered to pay for her bubble tea cravings

    Mango Colada! YUMM!!

    I probably made out with the entire bus that night. Only because apparently alcohol is not allowed in the party  bus so people got creative, made and poured mixed --completely unknown- drinks into water bottles, which was passed from one person to the next. I'm pretty sure the driver knew, but he's already done his job of assuring we had no obvious alcoholic substances on us. 

     

      

     As awkward as it was for me being in this setting, I still had a blast. Isn't that the case with spending time with friends though?

    It did only last two hours, but for the most part, everyone else aside from a few of us, were already pre-drinking hours ahead. So we just relaxed and talk among ourselves in JG's house. 

    Though his house was across from 7Eleven, you know we had to make snack run!

     

     

    SUNDAY 10/23 -The Day I Called "In Sick"

    I'd realize that I have a lot to do and nothing done. Also, I had a small bout of rebellion and called in sick today. I think I even made a pretty convincing case at that, what with the raspy voice and all laughing. Though, of course I just had to spend the whole day doing what I like to call productive procrastination. ; meaning I cleaned my room, did my laundry, bathe Aso etc. All to avoid cracking my text book. Life of a student right?
