Jason just left off to Toronto for a wedding. That leaves me here puppy sitting Bailey . He’s growing up really fast… and is in his bratty stage right now. Biting everything and ripping up Jason’s kitchen… maybe he thinks he’s helping them renovate lol. I should upload some videos I’ve made of him! Well, just of when he’s being good. When he’s bad, he’s in big trouble from me. I go into “grr” mode, he gets scared… and tilts his little head down. Making me wonder, why I’m yelling at this cute little dog… he obviously is way too adorable and deserves to be forgiven… right?

I’m awaiting some packages in the mail right now! Super excited! Jason helped me get my tea infuser mug which I was wanting for SOOO long! That plus I just bought a bunch of skin care products. I’ll take pictures and maybe do little reviews once they get here. Make-up Guru’s on youtube totally influenced my purchases haha. Halloween is coming up too and there are so many fun tutorials. I love halloween… cept I probably will be sitting around at home that night. So no dress up for me . Or I’ll just dress up for fun at home lol. boo.

My friends laugh at me for this but… there is always something that brings me back to Richmond. It’s a 30-40min drive on good days . But even so, I find myself never too far away. I spent a year working in Richmond the last year. Whether it was for work, for people, or for Daiso. I was there.

My friend says I should just move there. But hmm, I don’t think so. Yes there is the joke that it will sink someday, but I just learned from a professor that they have built very reliable dikes and water pump systems there. But even so, maybe it’s the fact that it’s a trek, that it’s far away, that gives it that special something for me. Going to Richmond is like a mini getaway for me. Going there “takes me away“. I know it’s corn and cheese… but it’s true. Even when I was working in Richmond, it did not feel like work for me.

And gahh! I miss the gym!!! I’m still amidst deciding if I should sign up for full membership at the SNSC. They offer many classes there and looking at the fitness classes that SFU offers for $60-$70… I’m even more swayed towards trekking to Richmond. Hrmmmm…

I totally can’t get over this song. So you think you can dance just added to it by giving me such a beautiful image to visualize with the song. The dance gave me goosebumps, made me squeal, made me cry a little inside and made me smile at it’s beauty. They did it justice .  Jason Mraz - If it kills me (Casa Nova Sessions). The count down is ON!

summer still hasn’t completely set in for me. since I’ve been all work work work lately, I haven’t got the chance to do many summery things. really really wanna go to the beach, bbq, watch fireworks, sun tan, eat marble slab ice cream… etc etc. My 903sh camera phone finally decided to start dying on me. It’s not completely dead, it just freezes every time I try to turn it on . I’m too scared to reset it right now, and bringing it for repair might cost more than I’d want to pay. At this point I’m thinking… “maybe I should just get a new phone” . Cept thing is, I don’t think I want to settle for anything less than another Japanese Sharp camera phone. Looking into getting the SH-06a tee-hee. Just don’t know if I’m ready to dish out that much cash. It just came out in Japan . Maybe if I don’t buy anything for the rest of the summer I’ll be okay haha. We’ll see…

I guess this forces me to use my ACTUAL camera though. If you don’t know, most of my photos are taken by my phone. I do have a canon camera, but using the phone is just so much more convenient .

Oh no I didn’t! Okay.. I did . I was so in dreamland for that moment that I have no clue what happened or what came out of my mouth the whole time. I just remember shaking wesley’s hand for like a full minute while nodding… err don’t ask. At least I was able to handle taking a decent picture while my eyes squinted in happiness. Of course Jason took the picture and that’s why it’s so awesome . It’s one of those moments that happened so fast I wish I could go back and re-do every second of it till it was perfect. But *sigh* that was it! I never may get the chance to see them again in person and they will forever remember my awkwardness .

Even though they were there, I missed taking a picture with David Choi and Kina Grannis by a few minutes . I arrived just as they were leaving. But in any case, I finally got the cd I wanted and am in love with it . So in tribute… here’s my happily re-united picture of me and spencer the day I got home from LA. The hard water in the Cali totally kills my hair and weights it down like hair products… it was SOOOO nice to return back to vancouver and wash my hair in our awesome clean water. Totally makes a difference! Pictures of my trip to come!
