Look Who It Is

A lot has happened since my last post. I always forget that I have a blog here too since I post at several different places. I managed to pull through with the long semester and surprised myself with pretty good grades considering how much trouble I had with it. While I was doing that, I managed to get a co-op job! I was so relieved when they called me and offered me a position here. (Right now I’m at work waiting for the server to co-operate and load the screen!)

So I’m taking an eight month co-op term working here and I’ll be back in school in September for the last two semesters of my diploma. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing after that, but that’s next year and I’ll worry about that later.

At the same time during that too, I bought an iPhone 4! I really wanted one especially since I’ll be commuting to and from work which is over an hour long each way. I needed the music and the apps and the TV shows.

As usual, you can find me at BCIT’s MyLife Student Blog where I’ll talk about my experience at school or at work.

I have also updated my movie list from last year. I managed to hit 100 movies for the first time and ended the year with 111! The last movie before the year ended was Moneyball.

I made a new list for this year. I’ve seen 3 movies this year. I’m sad that Tinker Tailor Solider Spy didn’t get nominated for an Oscar, while Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close did. I won tickets to an advance screening so at least the movie was free. It was definitely way too long and could be much shorter (2 hrs and 9 mins). Mission Impossible 4 was actually really good so I’m glad we picked the right movie to watch. The downside to both these movies was that both times I had the person behind me kicking my chair. First it was a man and his long legs. Second it was a woman my age and every time she jumped from a scene, she’d kick my chair. THANKS.

I also made a list of books read this year. I’m trying to get 50 this year since I don’t have school for the first part of the year. Right now I’m at 3. My current book is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It’s quite long so it might take me awhile to get through it.

That’s all for now :)

Happy Back to School Day (to Everyone Else)

Yesterday it was official that Tuesday would not be the first day of school for us returnees. Instead it was Wednesday. Like I mentioned in my previous post, Wednesday consist of cancelled labs, which means there is no school for my set until Thursday. It apparently consists of 4 50 minutes lectures. All of them lectures too. That’s going to be fun. At least I’ll start school with a full stomach since class begins at 12:30pm that day.

Fun. I also started coding my new layout. It’s not doing so well. Maybe I’ll work on it today and tomorrow since I have nothing better to do.

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, I went to Stanley Park with Christian and Naomi. It all started out great until I ran out of batteries and I put in my spare and it was empty too. Either way I learnt a great deal from them about photography, plus I got exercise from all the walking. Can’t wait until we do another photo-walk again!

After it was an awesome commute from Downtown to White Rock. The 351 (Bridgeport to White Rock Centre) is one of those snazzy yellow buses with coach buses seats and air conditioning. Not gonna lie, but I don’t mind having it for every single bus ride. (They have them for Hong Kong.)

Then it’s Labour Day Monday where my parents “dragged” me to White Rock Pier. Yes, the same White Rock that I was at on Saturday and Sunday. I can’t complain since it was a gorgeous day out and I’ve never been. And yes, the rock is painted white. I really should find out if the rock was originally there or only put there after White Rock was created. It’s a chicken or egg kind of deal.

And I’m only down to 5 movies left before I hit 100 movies watched! I also updated my about page with some minor adjustments. I am hoping to watch Limitless soon. I still have A Single Man and Blue Valentine that I keep putting off. Apparently I should watch E.T. too. That’s 4 right there. Also I am really disappointed in Thor. The end.

PS: I’m still debating if I should stick to uploading photos to my blog via Flickr (lower), or have it hosted on my own domain (top photos). I have no opinion on either other than I have to upload some on Flickr anyway. The down side is that they’re at different sizes, or else I’d stick to both.

I See You There…

I haven’t forgotten about this place! It is just that I haven’t done anything interesting, or I think interesting that warrants an update. I swear I’m going to work on my photography blog thing because what a waste if I don’t! I should make a landing page too if I’m going to have more than one thing on this domain.

Or do people not do landing pages anymore? I will need to reroute the blog to a separate page then. Hmm.

The last time I updated my Movies page was at Terminator 2! That was at movie 71. Now it’s up to movie 86! I am watching a movie after this blog entry and hopefully a few more of those Futurama movies will bump me to up 90 soon. At least I know I will make it to 100 movies this year, after trying to reach that mark for so many years!

At this point I’m just looking to going back to school. I can’t believe my summer break is finally almost over. It will be nice getting back to a normal routine. I’m just not looking forward to waking up at 6:30 when it’s still freakishly dark outside.

Before that, I still have a Vancouver Canadians (baseball) game to go to, grabbing my U-Pass and new Student ID, and a Photo-Walk with my tweeps! Despite my hermit-like state this summer, I actually did a lot of things with my parents and friends. Maybe I’ll do a recap thing in the near future to celebrate the Summer Break of 2011.

I seriously still can’t believe there was a person up at that sign. I didn’t even notice until I put up the picture on Flickr and started typing in the comment box. Where was I during the editing process?

PS: And now it’s 87 movies since I re-watched Jeux d’enfants (Love Me if You Dare) between starting this post, editing and uploading photos onto Flickr, and finishing this post.
