"In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."

it feels so good.

i've been home for just over a week now, and it's been soo good, especially the food. i've had lobster twice already! i've spent most of the past week with my family and meeting friends here and there, so it's been pretty relaxing and not jampacked. during the two reunions i went to, it felt like no time had passed between us, and it was just like old times. how incredibly blessed i am with these friends-one group i've known for almost a decade (how did we get so OLD?!), and the other group has been the most influential in my personal growth. although our lives have changed individually and we are on different paths, our friendship still continues on.

but mostly, i've been spending time with my family and aussie relatives. i've been at home more than i expected to be, but i don't mind, cuz i get to spend time with my sisters (which is rare). 

things seem to have stayed the same, and some things have changed, but i'm okay with it. i feel different.

i feel free.

i'm so glad to be home, but i find myself thinking about BC even though God knows how much i longed and waited to come back. oh the irony.

8 more days left in TO >.<!

in one of those moods...i woulda kept driving except i don't know the roads well enough to drive w/o thinking...i wana go on a road trip to somewhere.

i wish i had a piano or a keyboard, at least, in my apartment. a colleague @my internship asked if i could play fur elise and i couldn't remember it haha .. and then he asked if i knew any chopin, and i do except i don't have any of my piano books with me :( that made me realize how much i miss playing "classical" music. cuz all i play at work are oldies .. i don't improvise much at all. and my classical playing has pretty much gone out the window since i graduated. i want to play those pieces again and do my ARCT! except for the theory part.

this weekend's been one of the best i've had here in a while, since i work every saturday. went out to bbt w/2 of my co-workers after work yesterday, and we'll probably do dinner this week before i leave too :) today i had lunch w/my relatives, then i went to granville island to get some Christmas gifts, and then went over to marie's to get ready for the dinner. the slideshows and the kids' dancing to songs just somehow reminded me of how blessed i am to be here.

on the edge of something big.....
