[Tuesday, June 28]

Very great

It's almost happening. I'm almost losing control of my blog again, which would mean months (or maybe years) without any post. Maybe it won't happen, though. Last week was quite interesting in many aspects... I went to Express after a while not being there, and we had the inauguration of the outside mural (which I couldn't help create =[). After that I walked around with Mareks and then we came home. Nothing too exciting at work, besides the fact that my team for the next project has been defined. I will be leading almost the same team again, but without Umair, Manjul, and Eugene. This time I will have Neda =]

Friday was a tense day, in which things almost fell apart. For a moment I thought my life was getting another gigantic turn, but things turned out fine and it was all just a big drama. During the weekend I pretty much did laundry and played FF7. Damn Emerald Weapon that can never be defeated so easily. I will still try to level up my limits and materias, but I don't know how much else I can handle. I am already anxious about starting a new game - or maybe finishing something I never finished.

This Tuesday was an interesting day. I went to Express once again, and a guy who sent me a couchsurf request was there to meet people from different cultures. There were some new faces, and the group took on a hole new perspective of acceptance and respect. I invited everyone out for a coffee, and Douglas (the couchsurfer), Jonathan (a new Jewish guy), and River (new Chinese guy) tagged along. We walked around the village trying to decide on a place, and after finding a few crowded places (bumping into familiar faces on the way), we ended up at good old Second Cup. I got the Tuesday's special for chillers, and I chatted with the guys until Mareks called me. Then I went to Metro to buy some fruits with him and come home to take a rest.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who feels comparisons should be allowed.

In the end, everything will be well.

Nice week. Fight on Tuesday, then making amends on Wednesday. I didn't go to an exhibit at the AGO that contained my Jane's Walk project, but I went downtown that day and had sushi at Queen and Spadina. On the way back I even saw the ex-teenager Lilian and her wife Zulema. Thursday I played paintball with my coworkers and I realized it actually hurts to be shot. Friday I was falling apart, but even still I walked around.

Saturday was Lilian's birthday celebration, and Mareks thought he couldn't attend. We planned a brunch afternoon to make up for it, so we went to this nice vegan/organic place on Dundas. Despite the microscopic fruit servings, I enjoyed my meal. We walked around for a bit, and chatted at the girls' apartment. Then, we came back home and as we were about to leave for PMRI, we realized Mareks didn't have to go that day. We decided to go to back to Lilian's celebration, so we bought a board game at Value Village and ate at Harveys before heading back.

Once we got there, we found David, Ben, Natalia, and Miles. We played Apples for Apples for some time (boring =[), and then Miles had to drive Natalia up to Markham so she could start her terrible work shift. Mareks got a ride with them, while I stayed playing Taboo with the remaining people and the newly-arrived Raff. We had fun, but only for a short period of time, since David went back to being Cinderella because he doesn't like the blue night line. I took the ttc with him and Ben, and then I got home much earlier than anticipated.

On Sunday my body was still aching from the intense week, but I still walked around since the weather was nice. My neighbour dropped by to ask about my landlord's contractors, and we ended up having a chat for a while. She thought I spoke Arabic, as many people here do, and then she was happy when I said I was from Brazil - I'm privileged not to have such a bad stereotyped background. And that should be it. Too much "then" in this post...

Feliploko; if things are not well, it is not the end.

I say YA, you say Y

Then finally I had a nice week, despite some issues here and there. Tuesday I had my vaccine appointment at SHC, and although I was a bit late, Daniel was able to make my arms sore by poking them with sharp needles. He asked me to stay around for 10min to check if I would develop an allergic reaction, so I chatted with the people that were leaving from Express (I didn't make it in time to go there =[). One of these days I went to the bank to say wtf for them charging me annuity fee on my credit card without asking me first, and they once again disappointed me. I also went to H&M one of these days to buy some t-shirts for Mareks.

In another one of these days (I think Wednesday), I decided to bike to Food Basics even though a thunderstorm was on its way here. I barely hit Huntingwood when it started pouring over my head. I waited at the bus stop for 10min (which is exactly what my Hungarian neighbour asked me to wait in the first place), and then I finished my trip. As I was getting my card ready to swipe and pay, the electricity of the terminal I was in went off (only on that terminal, lol). I waited until the system rebooted and then I had to wait for Mareks and for the rain o stop. We decided to eat sushi in the mean time, and when we finished it wasn't even drizzling anymore.

I worked from home on Thursday, but that wasn't any easier than the days I go to the office. It's hard to define clear times to start, have lunch, and finish. On Friday I had tickets to this youth award dinner, that this time happened in the 519. I wish it was still at Bright Pearl, so that I could see the nice server again serving her vegetables, vegetables. I saw an incredible number of people I know there, and Alvaro and Javier even got awards! The ceremony took a little longer than planned, so after we left we had to come back home right away.

Saturday we had the annual YAY family picnic, and it was nice to finally see Anthony again after such a long time. Beatrise was there too, with her whole family, and we had some fun despite the fear that another thunderstorm would pour over our heads. In the end it didn't, so we left with some nice prizes and our clothes still dry. Janis drove us to Hong Tai, and Mareks and I took a look at the digital camera place before coming home.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who has an addiction.

Palpite

So Saturday was raining the whole day and we decided not to go anywhere. Actually we went to the supermarket, but that doesn't count. In the evening we watched a movie, and that was pretty much it.

On Sunday it was nice, on the other hand. We finished laundry really quick and took the TTC down to the Woodbine Beaches. We walked around for a very long time, and the damn sunglasses we had bought at Zellers didn't have UV protection, so we fried our brains while doing that. To come back home, we used a new way taking the Queen streetcat all the way to the east end, and then walking to Victoria Park and Danforth. When our legs couldn't stand still anymore, we called the day off.

Today the contractors got back to working on our backyard, finally. I had work, which was dis-motivating as usual, and then when I got home I waited for Mareks to congratulate him on his new G2 driver's license. We went to Fairview Mall to buy some t-shirts, and now we're back home chilling out.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, que sonhou que ganhou na loteria numa festa junina.

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why

Enough ranting about work. Last week wasn't very exciting. I had a few meetings at TLC on Tuesday, and I was surprised to see Phil there when I was walking to one of them. Friday we had a "show and tell" presentation in the office for Vincent and some BAs, but that didn't go too well, apparently. After that my whole team went for lunch together at Maison du Japon, and the company paid for our all-you-can-eat sushi.

Friday evening I also went to Diana's place to meet Mareks and then go with him and Sabine downtown to walk around. We decided to watch a movie with our free tickets, and we also ate at the nutritive juice place on Yonge (to which I will not come back anytime soon). We watched Bang Bang Club, which turned out to be much better than its title.

Not much else to report on this lousy week. I am so waiting for July 25...

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who in this table eats.

Labrit tauta

Nothing on Thursday, except a quick visit to Diana to give her back the umbrella we borrowed on Wednesday. Friday I woke up earlier to go have this English proficiency exam at Ryerson, and just because I got there at 8:30 the exam didn't start until almost 10. To make it worse, everybody had to go section by section together, which didn't allow me to finish before I had planned to. A little past 11, when we were almost about to start the essay part, the fire alarm starts going off, and despite my secret prayers for it to stop, we had to leave the building. It took some time for the firefighters to come and clear the problem, and because of that I only finished the exam past 13h. I went to Pizza Pizza to grab something quick to eat, and then I rushed to the office as my coworkers were hyper anxious to talk to me. When I sat at my desk and saw the list of 50 emails to go through, I realized that day would be fun. Obviously more than 2/3 of those emails were useless stuff from Richard, but I managed to do everything before little past 17h. I came home to quickly drop some stuff and then I took the TTC to the village to watch Julian's performance. I didn't even know it was for a Breakthrough event until I got there, so I said hi to Scott and to Natalia who was DJ'ing. Some other performances were cool, but Julian was just awesome - I never expected her to do so well on her first time.

Mareks joined me after he was done talking with his new translator, and we went for sushi while my friends watched the rest of the cabaret show at the 519. We came back when we were done, and people were just leaving (good timing). We walked down Church street looking for a place to hang out, but everything looked crowded. We tried Starbucks, Timothys, Old Ladies (that now ask for two pieces of government-issued photo ID for you to get in), and the guys almost ended up at McDonalds. I convinced them to sit at College Park instead, and so they did. I couldn't stay for long, so after buying some stuff at Metro, I waved goodbye to all of them. Back home via TTC, I still had to do some work via VPN... I finished past midnight, so all I wanted to do was sleep after that.

A little problem made the Saturday morning a bit bitter, but things got better in the afternoon. I took Mareks to PMRI, and on the way back I got the photos we printed at Wal Mart, and bought some things at No Frills. I made this stupid decision of buying an extra large vegan pizza at Pizza Pizza, and that's all I ate this whole weekend. I wish I had done something different. but I was stuck at home playing games, watching series and doing laundry. I realize my life feels quite empty when Mareks is not at home, but that's a choice I am ok making. Unlike Samantha Strange, I invest in something that I know is real.

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who likes Being Erica

Making work for the sake of making work.

Working overtime sucks. But what can I do? Sunday after posting I actually did go somewhere else with Mareks. I invited Zu, Lilian, and David to go eat something, but only David could go. Mareks and I walked around Finch station remembering the year before while David got ready, and then we went to this nice place that luckily was open until 23:30. We were the last customers to leave, but the servers still treated us nicely. The day after was Victoria Day, so Mareks and I slept in until almost noon. After that we went to Fairview Mall just to realize it was closed. Then we took the TTC to Bayview and Eglinton, where we walked around and bought bread at the other Cob's.

When it started getting cold we went all the way to the Eaton Centre so we could buy Rauf's gift and some things for ourselves. I almost crashed the house's stock market, but everything is still under control. Sometime in the afternoon, after walking around the City Hall, I contacted Rauf to meet him somewhere, and after two random encounters (one with Suhail, the other with Richard) I met him and his friend Alexey. I gave him his gift, and then he went to the cinema while Mareks and I took the TTC back home. A thunderstorm started in Toronto, out of nowhere, but luckily we got home before we were soaked.

Tuesday everything went back to normal at work, but unfortunately I and some other members of my team will have to work overtime this week. After work I came home and after avoiding obstacles on my backyard left out by the interesting contract workers, I could finally rest. I vpn'd for a while, but eventually got tired and went to bed. Today it was almost the same story at work, but after coming home I had to go to Diana's place to meet Mareks and have some delayed birthday cheesecake. We ate and talked about some stuff, and then Mareks and I came back home under this other unpredicted heavy rain. Now I have to work again until sabe-se-la what time.

SeeYa,
Feliploko; or boss.
