I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye.

Gahh! I’ve neglected my tumblr :(

Update! Semester started. Not one of my easiest semesters, but probably the most interesting mix of courses. Relationship development, food science processes, consumer sociology, and international nutrition. 2 food, 2 arts. International nutrition by far would be my most inspiring course I’ve taken. Yes, we review many of our basic nutrition needs since I’ve learned them in many of my courses, but I’ve never learned about how different the basic nutrition needs are for severely malnourished children. Their needs are so different from ours and yet ignorant people apply our North American standards and expect developing countries to follow us.

Hear this, in October 2001, the United States sent parcels of food worth $27 million to Afghanistan that wasn’t eaten at all by the locals. Why? The food included peanut butter and jam which the locals have never eaten and all the packaging was in English. What a waste of money and effort. Just shows how important understanding what the staple food of a culture really is.

Anyways! Enough of school rambling.

New years has come and gone! This year we didn’t go clubbing. Just chilled at a friend’s place and played Xbox kinect (?) all night in groups. It was a lot of fun :) A very nice and relaxing way to welcome 2012.

Colin and I have definitely deepened our relationship. It feels so nice the way everything is falling in place :)
Yesterday he picked me up from the skytrain after school and when I opened the car door, there was a rose and my fav Cosmo magazine sitting on my seat. Such a lovely surprise! THEN! Went back to his place and was expecting marinara shrimp spaghetti (since I requested it the night before) and found lobster tails!! He spent so much on dinner last night when it was suppose to be a cheap dinner since we are going to a fancy restaurant Sunday :P

Had such a wonderful night. I’m so blessed <3

Things have been going pretty chill this holiday season!

Finals are done, all of which weren’t too stressful. First semester ever where I didn’t have to study too too much and yet feel that I think I will get decent grades. Finger crossed!

Now that finals are done, Colin and I have been planning things to do! Sweet little guy asked me out on a date and I can pick any restaurant I want :) Been having a pasta craving so I’ve picked the Old Spaghetti Factory <3

Also! Bought tickets to the Christmas Market in downtown. Hopefully it’ll be fun!

Not done Christmas shopping yet though…

Nor do I have plans for New Years made yet…. What do to? Went clubbing last year, so I dun wanna do it again this year… hmm…

Now that finals are all done. I’m hoping for snow! Maybe even a White Christmas!

Today, met Colin’s best girl friend. She lives in Edmonton but came here for a short visit for some family stuff. I’ve heard tons of stories about her and Colin told me that he once thought about what would happen if he were to date her, but then told me he never had any intentions to date her. It was a simple thought. I thought it was interesting~ Call me weird, but I enjoy hearing his past stories whether it be his past loves or his childhood stories. It’s really funny sometimes :P

Drove through downtown Van today. So pretty! All the streets were filled with Christmas lights and decorations.

Bring on the holidays!

Had a long long chat with a dear friend last night. Actually, it was the early morning. Haven’t talked til 5am in the morning for the longest time. We were once really close but as time passed by, we grew more distant. It felt nice just chatting like we used to in high school. It felt nice to be giddy little girls talking about relationship stuff :)

All I can wish for her is good luck. I honestly don’t know why she is still with him, but if that’s her decision I can’t say much more. The only thing that bugs me is, she sees all the problems, she hears what people are telling her, yet she still complains why is this happening to her. He’s not the only fish out in the sea. She knows that very well, yet she still complains….

Sigh.

Anyways! Finals are just around the corner. Gotta start studying!!

Christmas is coming!! For some reason though, I have no Christmas spirit yet. It always comes after I’m done my last final. Finals really ruin everything.

Yesterday Colin went to the States in the morning and brought me back these! I’ve been needing new slippers. He’s just a good listener :)
