gah ok

so yeah, i'm still so damn lazy to upload my viet pics and vids. maybe another time. I still haven't even uploaded my recent pics I just took, like the ones from going to the zoo with jacky, my little soiree at my place, and the ones of me and sue when we went to pay our respects to Jeanette.

anyway, so school's been not too bad for the first 3 days. I have Heater for math, so I'm in for a ride. Which btw, I'm looking forward to. I have english with Johnson. She's awesome, but I do miss Lomhiem. Spare, which for the first couple days have been bland. And Art IB, and omg i'm already freaking out. I can see Zabos now, "you're workbook isn't up to the IB calibur, I need to see more from you..." hmmm, i'm definatly not looking forward to that. But my fellow IB Art people are amazing, we have so much fun in class, having tea parties and such. Though, I could stand getting teased less.

Well, going back into the regular stream will teach me something new this year, I got to adjust, meet new people all over again, and take life as it is, and take things as they come.

I'm already missing the security of IB and knowing everyone in those classes. It's not fair, the other's that get out already know some regulars from Jr. High, yet I don't cuz it wasn't my designated school. Hah! look at me! I'm such a hypocrite! I'm the one reminding people life isn't fair and just to deal with things, yet here I am complaining about it. ppffft. w.e.

So, I've been doing some thinking recently, and I think I should develope some goals. Now, I'm not talking about the goals stuff we got to do in TA, like career goals and such, but something more commonplace with me. I have two in mind so far:

1. Apply for a part time job. They're hiring everywhere! Like berserk! So Jessica, get off your damn ass and GO!!

2. Get my effin' learners. I'm sick and tired of hearing people go, "WHAT!? you don't even have your learners yet?!" Why yes! I repeat, I do not have my learner's because I feel I don't need to add another car onto the busy(to lightly put it) strees of Calgary, and transit can still get me from point A and point B. But unlike cynical me, people are right, I should get it, so I can at least drive when I'm in university, and it can be convieniet when it's not rush hour.

I've just thought of another goal! Find more time to do shit like apply for a job and study for my learner's test. And when I say, "find more time", I really mean, stop trying to find useless stuff do on the internet, and actually do something productive! When you really think about it, people have all the time in the world! They just don't know how to use it efficiently! Wow, I just thought of something so profound that I think not many people realize. Boy, do I feel smart! Hahaha. Now, I wish I was profound enough to write a book on how to use time more efficiently. I'd be rollin' in the dough then. And I'd actually follow the advice I'd have to offer, if I offered any cuz I really need to use my time more efficiently. It'd also be cool if I did invent a machine that gave me more time to do stuff, cuz then I could have my cake and eat it too.

Oh, another goal I almost forgot to mention.

3. Start a Valadictorian(sp?) speech. Shay's already got her's going!!!! Now, with the stuff you've just read do you really think I'll get it started now?

*sigh* a girl can dream can't she?

FINALLY!

Yes, finally, I'm going to post up a few of my Viet pics and video. The amount will depend on my patience.


So the story behind this picture is that this is my dad. Yes, my father. We were at the Vancouver airport on our way to Vietnam. We arrived at 10:00 pm, and our flight to Vietnam was at 3:00 in the morning. So my mom, being the control freak she is, was damanding my daddy and I to sleep. So she got his pillow out(the pink one, if he had a choice he would have choose something else, but when he bought it, that's all they had left. He just liked it cuz of all the beads in it so it felt comfy) and gave him my eye mask that I never used. I got it for my 13th bday from an old friend, but never used it. I'm an easy sleeper, so I gave it to him. Doesn't he look funny? I love how his hand is on his chin like that.


Ah yes, this is a badly sun burnt me. After that, I realized why Viet people at the beach wouldn't wear bathing suits, but tees instead. Because you're out on the beach having too much fun to go back for some sunscreen so your effin' shoulders, back, and thighs burn so bad. I was in so much pain at the time. And yes, I'm wearing Calvin Klein underwear. My boxer shorts from AE were worn so much the elastic is stretched, so they like sag a bit and don't fit as well. I learned my lesson though. The second time 'round, I wore a tee shirt. My arms still burned a bit, but it doesn't hurt as bad as burnt sholders would. And oh boy did I peel.


This is where my cousin took me to the snake farm in My Tho. This place had a ton of snakes of all shapes and sizes and different containments, or lack of. I was so close to these snakes on a tree and I didn't even realize it! Crazy! Anyway, they had more than just snakes as you can see. They had peacocks, a yellow turtle, weasles, alligators, and this ostrich! Which scared the hell out of me, cuz I've seen TV, so I know how they can peck at you. That I feared, but out of that fear came this great shot. Oh and I didn't get pecked if that's what you're wondering.


This is when my cousin took a bunch of the family on this boat tour around a few of the islands on the Mekong Delta or River, however you like to call it. There were a ton of Jap people I'll tell you that! Anyway, this was on our last island and we got a ride on a little river that ran through the island. It was very narrow, but there were a ton of boats waiting to take tourists though. I felt sorry for these people because they only get paid after 10 days or more, and get paid very little. Imagine having to have that few amount of money to last you 10 days, and rowing all day for it. Plus you had to fight the other boat people for tourists cuz they kept tabs at the end of who was bringing people to the end.

Gahhh, there's too many pictures to be selective and I don't want to upload every single one. I'll do little incraments here and there. How's that sound? This should be sufficient enough for you guys for now. Until then, you're stuck with these four. mwa ha ha ha ha ha!!
