its been a while since ive been back on blogger....i realized that im horrible with blogging as I was horrible with my diary when I was younger...Ive been super busy with work and trying to get my paperwork together for London....its been a tremendously long and tedious process and Im not even sure I see the end to the tunnel yet but Im hoping it comes sooner than later....because im not a patient person to begin with and its driving me nuts not knowing when we'll be able to go....

I found out something today and its given me a surprising sense of closure to something that has been at the back of my mind for a while....im surprised to feel the way i do about it....its a sense of relief and calmness....

i saw this show on tv yesterday and was kind of intrigued by it....its a decent show....for the last year, Jessica Simpson has been constantly criticized about her weight and it was nice to see her not phased by it....its refreshing since our society is always surrounded by such negative images of beauty....the show follows her around the world, where she searches for the definition of beauty to each of the cultures and to show how different the meaning of beauty can be to everyone....it truly illustrates that beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

Inception

Recently saw Inception the other day, and i must say that movie does live up to the hype...the concept for the movie was so genius...its amazing how much thought and detail was put into the script...the movie does make you think and question our "reality"......i assume most people like myself has never really questioned our reality and its existence....this movie made me think and reminded me of philosophy back in high school when we watched the Matrix....i have always been fascinated by dreams and the concept of experiencing this pseudo reality because everything seems so real, that is until you wake up...whos to say that our reality now is not an elaborate dream....wouldnt that be interesting....

The Notebook

Recently watched the Notebook again, ive forgotten how sweet that story was......the movie brings back the topic of What IFs...the only reason why Rachel McAdam's character went back to see Ryan Gosling is to figure out that "what if" factor...what if we were all given a second chance with someone from the past...what would you do? would you risk everything you may have now for something uncertain?....is it worth it? or is it just better to let the past be the past?...who knows but the story would have never happened if she never took the risk to explore that second chance..

Happy Canada Day!!

its our birthday and guess whos here to visit....
so its July 1st, its CAnada Day! YAY!! and in my world...its also newbie day...July 1 of every year marks the start of a new residency year....which also means that i would avoid teaching hospitals with a 10 foot pole for the summer if possible....ive actually managed to avoid working this day for 2 years...but i was stuck working today and it is actually not as bad as i had anticipated....and thank goodness for the online system, i think it rejects retard orders....cuz i remember how often we used to get those during the summer months....makes life easier for everyone......finally done my rotation of shifts for a while and its time to play for the long weekend....wedding tomorrow and the its PRIDE DAY on sunday!...ive always wanted to go to the parade but have always had to work....i finally get this weekend off to go...im so excited!

its finally OVER!

So the G20 Summit is finally over and done with...but apparently people arent through with their protesting yet...its still going on downtown....
i worked the G20 summit weekend and it got a little crazy...who knew people could get so crazy....what started off as peaceful protests turned into mini riots....WTF?!?....it was a mad mess downtown with stores being broken into and police cars being torched....which leads to all the core downtown hospitals being on lock down....there was a blockade of police blocking off protestors from getting onto the street of hospitals....it was pretty crazy but kinda cool stuff....nonetheless, im a little ashamed and appalled that people were as disruptive and psychotic as they were over the weekend....i understand the whole protesting thing, but the rioting...that was uncalled for and stupid...at the end of the day...those crazy mofos ruined it for everyone, they were not protesting for a cause, and they made all the other peaceful protestors look bad....all in all it was one big mess....staying downtown over the weekend was an experience in itself....constant helicopters circling the downtown core...i could hear it over my ipod....and massive groups of police at corners is an interesting sight...but im glad its done and after all of it....was it worth the 1.1 billion dollars?....o gad... hELL NO...can these people not just meet on an online net meeting?!...save everyone the hassle and security issues?

not to mention, it was a bitch and a half to get home after it was all done...a crazy thunderstorm flooded streets and protestors blocked major intersections....after 2 days of craziness, i just wanted to go home....

Goodbye G20, i hope you never come back again, and to my stupid government...thanks for wasting my tax dollars!

G20 booo

Its 3 days before the G20 summit lands in Toronto....and the city looks freaking scary....driving to work yesterday was an interesting experience....we have freakin 10 ft high fences...yes fences up all over the downtown core filled with swat looking cops at every freakin intersection....it looks like we lived in District 9......with major road blocks in the core of the city....its a hell of a mess....this G20 business is quite frankly just annoying ...and the genius that decided to bring it to the core of downtown is a absolute moron...I understand that the meeting is necessary and all that but is it really necessary to bring all that security and maddness to downtown Toronto??.....as if traffic on a day to day basis isnt hell enough...lets bring 20 of the biggest world's leaders to downtown so we can shut down our financial district .....and to top it..the geniuses decided to build a man made lake in the middle of downtown....their reasoning behind this is to provide a place for the world leaders to experience Canadian cottage country...WTF?!?...you're kidding me right?...the real lake is like 5 mins away...and if u want to experience cottage country then move the G20 up north to where you're holding the G8...away from the city....its ridiculous how a man made lake is considered more important than investing our tax dollars into health care or something else more relevant....thanks Canadian government...another example of how you waste our tax dollars.....and what the hell are we going to do with this lake afterwards?....so stupid....and i have to work those 2 days ....great....the hospitals are right in between the areas of expected protests...even better....

on the brighter side...its FIFA TIME!!...i love the world cup...every 4 years we finally get to watch quality soccer in North America....and soccer players are definitely the best looking athletes....no wonder its the most beautiful sport in the world.....Im hoping Spain and Portugal will pull through....





how can you NOT like soccer....just Rinaldo and Torres alone is reason enough...
