take care and BS...

I think all of us are used or accustomed to certain good bye clauses/phrases, be it email, texting, chatting or any other means.. a lot of it has been shortened.. tc for take care.. ttyl for talk to u later so on and so forth right..

so recently i was talking to a friend of mine who i've known for a long time and we were just catching up with each others lives on msn and the conversation was wrapping up. I had to go off and so did he. then it was the time for the good byes. I said my good byes with a take care and a budusaranai (a religious phrase - that I'd say only to family and close friends depending on the person and the situation), and gave regards to the family etc. He in turn says take care (tc) and bs, leaving me with nothing but a ?

After a few minutes I figured and he sorta typed (guessing that I was confused) that BS is budusaranai, just that everyone had made it short.. im like wtf?:S?!?!? BS is Bull Shit in my vocab and in many of the people I know but this is new and does not feel right lol.. I got this BS phrase on an email sometime back too in which I ignored for a typo or something like that and never bothered to question about..

Quite interesting and understandable how people have shortened words up for texting purposes and stuff, without realizing that BS is bull shit for a lot of ppl.. if there's no space for something like that in a text msg I'd rather not say it.. anyway that's just my opinion..

a pinch of recreation

since school's done (at least for a while), and it's wintery, I was thinking that I should get into a recreational activity of some sort. One reason is to make better use of my new-found free time, and the other is to be a little fit :S (if that's at all possible), and get rid of some of the unwanted fat forming here and there (too much eating duh!)
so anyway, off I go to the ymca rec centre that's close by to work and only about 15-20min drive from work, got myself a membership card with a smudged and blurry picture :S (they took the picture! not me!). came home with a whole bunch of brochures and leaflets. I think it's a good deal.. Even if it's a little pricier than regular gyms, this place has a fitness centre, pool, sauna & hot tub (great for my bitchy back!), and all the classes held at the centre is also included in the membership fee.

I started with swimming coz i didn't wanna jump into the gym and the whole works and become so sore that I won't be able to wake up for work the next day. Tried to get there before work and get to work after the work out, but that only worked one day. today I was too sore to wake up that early. that resulted in going swimming after work, which wasn't that bad but too many people.

It's been only two days, and i'm still pumped and happy that I finally got a gym membership. May be I'll join one of the on-going classes.. either pilates or yoga or something.. or else I'll just start gyming.. hopefully I wont break into two trying to be hard core and cool! :

we'll see how it goes.. at least it's a start... or else I'll need one of those work-out fairies..

Move in with the New Year

Happy New Year everyone~

I know I'm extremely late in wishing for the new years. Better late than never right? yes!
It feels like almost every year that goes by was shorter than the previous one. We are getting busier by the day and lose track of time i guess eh hmmm..

new year's was great. no huge bash or anything. just a quiet dinner at a downtown restaurant and a glass of wine. just the way I wanted it coz I was moving houses. no resolutions made as such, but the only thing i thought to myself is that I'm not going to buy any clothes for a long while, coz since moving places I threw out a lot of clothes one reason being that I don't wear half of them, and the other being that I have way too many and NO place watsoever to keep them. so no more clothes shopping for me! (let's see how far that goes right?!) About three garbage bags full of clothing are going to the second hand store or charity.

the move went smooth but hell-ish. why do people have to move. i haateee itt!! so fyi please don't move houses and stay where you are =). the old couch I had was too damn big for the little place i moved in and argh we had to throw it away, rather give it to the second hand store, leaving me with no couch!

I'm a victim of spine aches. bad posture? sleeping funny? horrible chair at work? whichever it is spine ache has gotten worse. the heavy lifting with the move, and long days made it worse for sure.

wet and ugly it is around here, and it isnt a down pour rather an annoying 'churu churu' rain. can't wait 'til the sun is more popular!

holiday season.. boredom..

it's great to be done with college but at the same time i'm left with nothing to do.. i'm bored outa my mind should i say? few things to do here and there and the big move is coming up too. hate moving with a passion and quite bored since there seems to be no deadlines coming up lol.. i'm too human.. complained enough about having too much to do before, and now not having enough to do.. argh!

hit the library close by and borrowed two books. kept in mind not to go overboard since i'm moving and have to avoid the hassle of having to come back to return the books. it feels so christmassy every where and i'm loving it even though I don't have any big plans. there was a bit of snow yesterday but seems to have melted away leaving slushies (word?) here and there..

the office christmas party was a blast, was great to see everybody so relaxed and friendlier, not to mention happier and merrier thanks to the never ending margaritas, martinis and the likes.. I, as always decided to stick with the food and just finished off with my dessert - a shot of baileys.. free drinks and i had only a single.. pathetic isnt it?

can't wait 'til after christmas.. i can feel some shopping that awaits on the other side. sorta miss the holiday shopping in lanka, however it feels more christmassy here and i prefer to be here for the holiday season. seems like everybody's celebrating it big.. has everybody already forgotten about the tsunami tragedy happened few years back hmmm..

alright time to start reading those books..

Here's wishing everybody a merry christmas and a funfilled holiday season!

What a feeeling...

Yess finally done!! yours truly is finally finished with the four years of agony that she wanted to run away from.. wohoo!.. what a feeling indeed..
well anyways, it's time to start packing and get ready for the move.. hate moving with a passion.. but I think the feeling of being done and accomplishing something is a greater than that hatred towards moving..
time for some baileys baby...!

p.s. : the subject is to be read as how you'd sing the flashdance song

the end is near...

the title seems a little cliched sorta ohwell.. my blog front's been somewhat quiet since I was extremely busy and the usual frequenting of kottu and other blogs were on a break as well. as the year is coming to an end, four plus years of my college life seems to be coming to an end too.. do i sound sad about it? NOO.. i was waiting 'til this misery ends coz as everybody else I too was swamped with ridiculous assignments, reports and the likes..

the final project is due in less than a week. extremely hyped and excited at the same time peeing in my pants wondering how the hell to present in front of the whole damn faculty... why does only my program has a pre-grad project and others dont.. that's a whole another blog post of why on earth i chose this field.. so it's better left at that...

I think it's time I get some work done but i'm still doing what i'm best at.. procrastinating and watching re-runs of OC.. cute but cheesy..

nutty professor

no this post is nothing about the movie, in fact I dont even remember what happened in the movie coz it was so long ago..

anyways the professor/academic advisor that I chose for my final project has turned into a crazyhead. He was quite helpful before however I kind of knew that he was so late in replying to any of the emails etc. since he was the best fit for my project I chose him. biggest mistake ever!

In the middle of the semester there was no way I could contact him to see what I was doing wrong and what the strong points were.. I was more interested in hearing where I have to improve etc.. had to send like five emails for him to reply and say sorry I have been busy?!?! wtf man you become an advisor to advise students, and the poor students are looking up to you and expect some kind of guidance to end this damn misery they are in.. you go MIA for a month and a half of the thirteen week semester and that's your best excuse?!!?

now it's almost the end of it he expects me to have everything ready as he had expected? and so now i'm in the hot seat coz he shows me the short comings which he should've showed ages ago and I could've improved and improvised the damn project...

argh why does everything happen to meee.... I'll be glad when this is over..
