Sushi and errand ran with DP. Nagoya was a big disappointment.
DOOBY! The GOLDEN RETRIEVER ! ZOMG!
Play date and baby's first time at a dog park. Was a major fail because he's anti social and tried to dominate other BIG dogs as though he wasn't the size of a common sewer rat. Boy, who do you think you are? 
So Babsie, DC and I just ended up baking these super yummy chocolate crinkles. Well Babsie did, both of us were just there for the company.
Then we talked...and talked...and talk. Until we realized at around 11 PM that we actually haven't had anything to eat Girly chat at it's finest!
Pho it is! Though we just barely made it on time seeing as they were actually closing in ten minutes. Luckily, they were nice ladies and let us order to go.

Fish and chip with the mother! Which was also a disappointment... Man! food has been disappointing me a lot lately 
Then I received a text from Babsie informing me that I could choose to pick up Ulam the rabbit a day early. I mean, why would she even tell me this is an option?! So off we went!
Mr. Bunners the dad. First of many rabbit that I saw originally. He doesn't look real right?!
The bunnies feeding! They had gotten so big the last two weeks since I saw them!
And finally....
ULAMMMM! aka my new baby! To be honest I was actually very unprepared, but because of my own impatience and excitement, I couldn't wait to bring this little sexless (can't tell their sex til after 3 months) baby home. Thankfully though, his owners have stack of spare bedding and hay. So I had my starter at least.

Slowly introducing Aso with Ulam. It's quite hard what with Aso being a very curious hyperactive dog. I'm honestly worried that he might take a swipe at the bunny when I'm not looking. At this time though, I'm just focus on not making him excluded.
My children :")
Was also invited to attend a friend's birthday, where I was convinced to gay club...then club hop, seeing as the original club we went to was actually hosting an event with special guest DJs; heterosexuals heavily outweighed the homosexuals. Surprisingly, I had fun. I've always been curious on what the "gay scene" would be like, especially due to the following reasons:
1) Drag queen
2)Infamous free condoms and lube
The latter I managed to grab a handful of as souvenirs, but there weren't any drag shows that night in the three different clubs we rotated to. Hence, my night was only half accomplished.
**Note to self: take a picture of condom collection....uhhhh, THAT sounded skeezy, but really it's an inside joke.
The birthday celebrant was also very generous and had paid for all expenses that night. So all in all, I spent $12.50 which was from cab and transit fee. Whao..that's must be the least amount I've ever spent on a night out.
I was actually quite apprehensive at first seeing as I really dislike clubs, and I do apologize for my ignorance, but believing the stereotype of gays being highly vain and judgemental, I even forced myself to wear "proper" club attire. Its ridiculous, but I felt highly exposed in my pencil skirt, heels and see through shirt. Then, we rode the Skytrain, and seeing as it's a Saturday, 2nd to the last weekend before school officially commence, there were flocks and flocks of girls dressed down even more than I am. So for the first time that night, I feel clothed.
I know I promised myself that I wasn't going to try any other donair/shawarma place other than the one I've been frequenting since I was in grade 8, however not having anything to eat before we'd gone drinking/dancing the night away, I/we were pretty desperate. And it just so happened that there was this small donair shop conveniently located next to the club. Well, as turned out, my suspicions were right: this donair could have been nothing but a disappointment.
Oh yeah...This happened. A photographer had signalled for a friend and I to pose for a picture. I actually didn't expect it to be published, but wondering if it did I checked on the website and under photos of events, there was this photo. Hey, at least I'm sober, decent and clothed.
After thought: Maybe I felt more like being sociable that night which brought a false sense of comfort, but to be honest, I didn't think it was any different that "straight club" You have people dancing, grinding, bumping, making out, getting drunk and just having fun. Although it was sexually charge in a different way than a straight club would be. Regular clubs make me feel uncomfortable because for me, it's a place where people hook up (of course this is a big generalization, but it's true nonetheless), but I found that in the gay clubs that we went to, the crowd is a bit older and you generally just get left alone.

Yes it took awhile but I was finally able to get Ulam a few more of his necessities. Although I soon found out that cages go anywhere from 70-100$, me being a broke student settled to buy a litter tray and proceeded to fashion a makeshift cage for him. In any case, since Ulam is a lone rabbit, I do not intend to cage him. Mr Bunners is actually a house bunny who is left to frolic around as he wish, so I just got a tip from his owners and I was told that one way of potty training Ulam is to keep him caged in one area for about 2 weeks until it is familiarized with its own area then I can proceed to let him be essentially free.
In the evening, we had unexpected visitors which included these two cuties. My father's aunt, uncle and niece (the two kids pictured above are her children) dropped by. They were actually who we had stayed with for a couple of nights when we first arrived here nearly 10 years ago. We lost contact, and I personally haven't seen them in more than 7 years (?). Such a shame too; it's not like they live very far. It's heart breaking because I remember the big family gatherings that we would have back home, and I thought that having relatives here would have a semble to that. But alas, we were too new and different (at the time at least).
Strange how time seem to run slowly and next thing you know ten years has passed. When we came here, my dad's niece would have been 4 years older than I am today. Now, she has a 5, 2 and a 4 months old. I wasn't sure how I should interact with her, because though she's 15 years older than me, I am no longer the child she met 10 years ago. This is very mind boggling.
Anyway, I found these two darlings very endearing. Though I have seen them very briefly once some years ago, this was the first time I've interacted with them.
My father's aunt is actually my darling grandma's elder sister. They are so a like in appearance and mannerism that it made me miss her, miss them. As much as I try to deny it (due to reasons too long to explain in this post), I crave family very much. Moments like these makes me feel void inside *sigh*
Anyway, I've pretty much caught up. These past three days had been very uneventful aside from seeing Expendables 2
technically two days ago (on Tuesday, August 28) with the whole family. Uneventful it maybe but Tuesday was one of my bipolar days. I just felt so angry at everyone and everything (no! I am/was not pmsing) it's hard to explain now given that the emotion has -mostly- passed. But I think I just need to be alone for a while, wean out this anger, as not to accidentally snapped at anyone.

Vanity insanity. I just couldn't get over how much I find this haircut amusing. Who would have thought having such short cut is liberating, especially coming from someone who has always had long hair. Well, I mean, maybe I've put some thought into it. I just can't help feeling like, as a girl, being able to disassociate myself with the length of my hair makes me a little bit more mature. That thought in itself is liberating. Strange that having a boyish cut makes me feel less of a girl and 
Back to back to back outing. This was planned at least. 
Then I found more ways to not study once I acquired a tablet. What better way to kill time than force an anonymous stranger into a fake marriage?
