It's so hot, my nose is sweating !

Today I went to a outdoor flea market for about 3 hours. I brought two orchids and a flashing light for my future bike (orchids $11 each, $2 for the light). I also got a bouquet of mixed flowers for $5! What a deal. It was a pretty big bouquet too. Flowers and plants of any type are a great bargain at this flea market. I found alot of cheap home decors as well (i.e. fake flowers/orchids and green plants, candle holders, blankets etc.) There were alot many cheap souvenir t-shirts for about $5 each. I recommend going there if you have a Sunday free no and then. You will be sure to find some treasures.

After that we ate at McDonald's then headed home. The moment I got home I was really itchy along my neck and back, as well as my arms. I even told my mother that I must be allergic to the flowers or something. Later this evening though, I realized that I had been sun burned. I have an obvious tan line from my tank top and my feet have the silhouette of my Nike sandals. I am not peeling but I am red. Aloe Vera to the rescue! (I am so glad I brought my hat to protect my newly dyed hair. The sun would have definitely tarnished my color).

All in all I had a fun day. Deciding on which orchids i want was a bit of a pain. Note to self, don't change your mind just because someone else don't like your idea/opinion. At the end of the day, you have to go home with the product, not them, so just pick what you want and what you had in mind. Be aggressive and decisive! Yeah......

I wanted a white orchid, came home with a pink and white/pink one.

One more day of vacation... then back to work.

Hmm....Today i highlighted my hair. Flame Red. It actually turned out quite nice. I look bold and funky, yet still a girl. Definitely different then before the cut and color job. My hair was black and long and girly and traditional. and now it got a bit of edge. I miss my old hair but this is a nice change too. I like it! I am just glad that the lady did a good job, never know when you go to a hairdresser, always a risk. Anyways, hope the color lasts a while. Red always washes out quickly. :) Can't wait to go out with the cool hair do!

I am so glad that I took this week off as vacation. Its been relaxing and fun. I didn't go anywhere in particular. Just did some shopping and eating around town. Its great because the sun is out and the weather is sizzling hot! Hmmm....I should go to the beach.

I brought a new sweater top, shorts, strappy shoes, tank top and will be hunting down that special xsmall purple flowy skirt from Jacob (that also came in Pink and Beige). I went to all the Jacob stores in the lower mainland (PC, Robson, Oakridge, Richmond, Metrotown). They even called Coquitlam for me but they don't have it either. They don't have it in Guildford nor Park Royal because those are Jacob Annex stores and doesn't carry that line. suck. So as a last resort, I am calling up my shopping counterpart in Alberta, in hopes she will be able to find this skirt for me. Hey, its a really nice skirt!

well that's all for now.

on to lighter subjects......

starting my new job in two weeks. it will be a step in the right direction. start of my journey/search for a dream career. neat !
I am a little little bit excited. hee

Yesterday, I tripped and fell down the stairs outside my house.

It hurts. I have nine or so ouchy spots along with scratches and bruises. All my bruises are also swollen and my muscles hurt ! Needless to say, I am not a "happy camper." blah blah.

Here's what hurts : Two spots on my ankle area, two on my shin, one on my thigh, one on my hip, one on my elbow, two on my arm, one on my pinky (which was bleeding), my back and right rib muscles hurt when i move (muscle pain) I think that is it. the bruised areas are a bit swollen too. other than that i am ok. :)

Anyways, i had to go to an interview/exam so i had some for paper for submission in my hand. when i fell, it was like on TV, all the papers went flying everywhere in the air. Its quite funny really. I was running late and didn't have time to sulk on the ground where i landed. I just got up slowly and gathered my papers. I didn't know that i was bleeding so i got blood on some of my papers. There are also visible grass stains on the papers too (landed on the grass). I had to go back inside the house and replace my submission package. to make a long story short. i was 5 minutes late.

today i just feel weak. i think its because every hurts. :(
Lesson: walk down stairs with care !

My dream is coming together !
WE GOT THE 2010 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES !!!!

What is my dream, you ask? Working for the Olympics. Had this dream since I was young. Watching past olympic games, I had always wanted to be a part of it. It started with "Man, I want to be flipping those large cardboard in the audience during the Opening Ceremonies." Later it became, "I want to be running around in the track field with a Canadian flag around me." Now is, "I want to work for Olympics" I want to be a part of it. I want to be able to do whatever it is I have to do in order to contribute to the games. I am so excited. I want to be some sort of Olympic Planner...haven't figure out all the details yet, but soon. This is so my thing ! my calling. I found it.

Now that you know what my dream is, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, (If i have to beg, i will), if you know of any information on the Olympics (news, employment/volunteer opportunities, connections!!! etc.) or any expertise on how i can get my foot in the door, please let me know !! Thank you in advance. :)

I am at a crossroad. crossroad of life. ever had a moment where you see your life going one way or the other. i guess ultimately its in your own hands. well, i am at that moment. this past week i have been making many career choices. none of which is fundamental, but it will definitely pave the way for what i see myself doing next. its hard being an adult and making choices like these. if i was to tell you what i had to decide on, you would probably wonder why i am so stressed out about it. i guess its just my character. tough being me sometimes. i was telling a friend yesterday that we are young and are allow to make mistakes. however, i seem to have forgotten that the same standard applies to me as well. i am afraid of failing and making mistakes. i like to do things right the first time around, who doesn't. and when it doesn't turn out the way i want it, i am very hard on myself. a little self discovery. interesting. i have been trying hard to be easier on myself, but its tough. because i feel that if i am lenient on one thing, everything else will go too. i guess i have to learn to balance it.

anyways,
