Families Family & Home People http://donotcallmeginee.blogdrive.com/archive/274.html Sat, 03 Feb 2007 04:55:40 GMT My friends, bear with me. There are just a few things that make me happy (not true of course, just my theatrics!) in my dreary life, and this is one of them. I, G.L.E.A, finally got the coveted 5/5 rating! Heheheh... Mighty SHE finally gave in, and silently agreed that my first written works were not those written with beginner's luck and maybe there is pattern of ahem......... brilliance innate in them and the mind that made them up! Bwhahahahahah Mighty She gave me 5/5. SHE also scribbled at the bottom: "A wonderful piece of work! Excellent!" And my Serbian Master's holder Speech...

I look forward to going to classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Why I enjoy it? I am enjoying it because I am lording over everybody! Bwhahahah J Kidding! It has occurred to me that though I NEED not be here, I am still getting lots out of it. I may know enough to pass the exams without the benefit of preparation classes, but I am quite sure that I might get higher marks in the end. I am like groundwater waiting to be tapped to the surface, and TOEFL prep class is the valuable pipe. Bottomline, the clinchers could be the techniques...

Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Big pond, small pond. Some people like to live in small communities, others prefer bigger communities. Like the proverbial fish in the water, one can chose where one wants to dwell in, in smaller ponds or larger oceans. As for me, I would rather be a small fish in an ocean of opportunities, that is,...

In the near future, YES, but in the months to come, heck, I will again go back to them. And I suspect, I shall do that again and again and again. My line of credit has to recover a bit I think, until I feel more comfortable and the numbers are nearing a black, positive balance. My 20 days home were great. Not that I saw lots of my friends and neighbors and former officemates and got to hang out with them. Of the people I was lucky enough to see, I almost never saw them again, I felt the...

The balls sometimes are thrown with just enough force that tickle and startle. Sometimes they are thrown with such speeds that just whirl my head into spins. Sometimes the throws merit my jumping and skipping. Sometimes, to dodge the balls, slight, quick realignment of the shoulders would do the trick. Bottomline, the throws necessitate reaction and movement, which to my lounging mind, are always good. Last Saturday, coming from the fancy schmanzy affair found me and the car I was...

But the things I hear my ward Cam (5) spews out are certainly ahhmmmm interesting. He is in French Kindergarten, and when bored after playing Xbox for a couple of hours, he calls out to me and insists that I be audience to his playing the video games. I have been trying, more successfully each time, to show the boys that they don’t have to scream out loud to be heard. And that being rude and crude would not get them what they want. I can see huge changes in Cam these days, and so I reward such behavior with more attention. I...

I got to the bus stop a minute before the scheduled stop. And I was supposed to be there 5 mins before pick-up time, that is the regulation. K and I waited for 3 mins and the bus came. I got out into the –35C weather in my full winter regalia and dashed to get him, away from the bus driver’s responsibility. He was crying. The bus driver told me, he is a bit “injured”. When I asked what happened, Cam stuck his bleeding tongue out. He licked the bus’ window and his tongue wouldn’t budged. If it weren’t for Cam in pain and...

I am spending the night with a bottle of cheap fruit wine, playing free cell, and watching yahoo music videos when Jessica SImpson appears with her rendition of my most beloved secret indulgence fave of a song, Tom Cruise's top Gun theme song, Take my Breath Away. Man, did she ever ruin it for me! The sultriness is overlapped with shrilliness. The passion is undermined with shallowness. The richness is gone, replaced by something runny and thin. JS should just stick to the likes of ...Boots for Walking. She near invented that character and it fits her. And I actually like her...

I wrote a reply to my friend dearest Dincs regarding acquisition of serious documents and just when I was ready to hit “enter”, I somehow lifted the entire keyboard and pressed something and the whole window disappeared. Darn. So admitting defeat, I composed another version and sent it again. And Lycos informed me of some system failure. Twice in a row. Holy cow. It is mighty annoying! I wonder is something else devious is going on. The entire system of Western Canada’s debit/credit purchasing was down yesterday. Everybody had to pay cash.... and I bet a lot of people were...

I mean, I do not look forward going to "work on Sundays. And since this is pro-bono work. I think the least I should feel is enthusiasm to be in that place at that time. Yehey. I don't. Can I be human and say, I near hate it? I thought it would be a place of wisdom, a place of contentment. It is that, and more. I do not have anything bad to say about them, and maybe this stint is making me realize that much as I imagined myself to be happy and enthusiastic, I am just not. Maybe I am...
