    Well, I came, it was fun, it was a different time, and then 2011 hit.

  • Turning 33

    I thank everyone that has wished me a Happy Birthday, in person, on the phone, by a text, and even on facebook. It has been a very silent, and quiet birthday. One where I just had dinner with my gf out in Langley, at the Olive Garden, and called it a night. I did also receive a gift from two of my friends. A pair of cuff links, which was nice. I just can't bring myself to write about me, do to my mom falling and hitting her head against cement on Sunday night. She was bleeding, and I took her to hospital. She is ok, but it took a good chunk of skin off. So I have been home, trying to tend to her needs.

    My grandmother was supposed to come back this Sunday, after a 6 month stint in China, and now I have to help in amending her air flight, as she has fallen to, and wants to get better before coming back. She is 96 years old for that matter.

    Age is something where it is not how old you are, but how old you feel. I feel young for my age, but due to some things happening on the weekend, I feel old in other ways.

  • Ups and Downs

    Saturday, Mar 6, 2010 5:19AM / Standard Entry

    It has been 71 days, as per the email from this site to my inbox, stating that I have not typed an entry. Has it been that long? Has time flown that fast for me to just let this pass. I would have to say yes, and no, there have been many things that have happened during this time that either I have been right in the moment to write, or taken away from.

    I am going to put down a list of high's and low's during these couple of months that I wanted to, or not wanted to write about, not going into detail as to what has transpired:

    - Vancouver 2010 Olympics (right in my own backyard, this has been a real blast)

    - Confirmation of an extra week of vacations this year (cannot really say anything about that)

    - The passing away of my Uncle (sad times, but for all the suffering, he is in a better place)

    - Chinese New Year (family gatherings)

    - Back to the Gym (gearing up, physically for the new year)

    - Understanding People and Friends, and looking back at the past.

    There have been more things than what has been said above, but those were on the top of my head while writing this blog.

    I should write more often, if time permits.

  • The New Year - A New Blog

    Tuesday, Jan 19, 2010 8:52AM / Standard Entry

    Time to blog, and enough time has passed into this new year to get back on track, especially on the worst Monday of the year, as quoted online, and by my security guard friend in the office!

    I come into the new year with questions. Questions in regards to my future at work, and what I want to do. I live in an expensive city, a very expensive city considering that I feel I do not make enough, and due to the economy going south, and the Olymipics invading my city in under a month, nothing seems to make sense.

    I think I am down to the last 8 months working out here in Coquitlam, as I know that I will be in another location once the full insurance book at the office is converted to the new company that is writing my pay cheque. I am going into my year end review with my manager next week with a ton of questions, and also my hand out asking for more pay, and also to find out if I did, or did not get screwed by this whole change/buyout to another company. I will ask in regards to my extra weeks worth of vacations, and the future, if they know anything, or have heard anything.

    I have carried over 7 vacation days from the year before, and usually I would lump that, with my vacation days this year to one massive 1+ month vacation, but that will not happen this year as well. I will be heading to Toronto this year around June to attend a very good friend's wedding. Usually I would fly in on the red-eye, and jump out on Sunday, but this friend is different, as there propbably is going to be a bachelor party that I will be attending, and depending on where it is held, I might decide to spend some time in New York beforehand.

    The only other thing I will say, with starting the new year is that I will try to keep pace with the gym, as I want to be in better shape to hit the Grouse Grind this year.

    Happy New Year's to all of you, will be blogging more in the future.
