Times Square at Christmas!!!!
Its amazing how little space can hold so much activity and hustle and bustle; this is how I would describe my day at Times Square, NYC! Me and my cousin went and we had food from this bread place called Paz and took pics at times square. There was the biggest american eagle I've ever been in and other random retail stores. I grabbed a souvenir t-shirt from a little store and we took even more pics at M&M World, It was just SOOOO much fun! After walking around for some more, we found ourselves at Planet Hollywood, took lots of pictures there. They had alot of movie star merc which was cool. Also we went to the Hard Rock Cafe where they had like pics of Bono, Bon Jovi and Shakira hehe, it was fun. After even more walking about!!! *sigh* Remembering it has me reminsicing of the exhaustedness and chilliness that I was experiencing. hee hee. Well anyways, we were off to a boardway play called White Christmas after which we went back home. Was a great day and an awesome birthday, one that will most definately be remembered!!! Thanks to my cous and her fam for taking care of me!!! <3

New York and all the crazies that is "the states"
Arrived at 10 PM in Kingston, NY. What a crazy trip... Lots of mountains and such. No problems at border control, slippery rest stop, and shady stations make up the most of it. Today we went to the Hudson Valley Mall and watched Avatar, all good stuff! I can't wait to see baby vids of me and my cousin!

Unending cycle that is School
The joy that the unending cycle of school brings /sigh.
So lately, I've been trying to work on a book review of this book called Changing Toronto governing urban neoliberalism written by Julie-Anne Boudreau, Roger Keil, and Douglas Young. I have to say it was quite a trek cause of all the politics behind the things that was studied, but that's that. Its over now, and I'm just relieved. But what bothers me at the moment is that all the assignments, the projects, the exams and tests are only just gonna keep coming. Despite what we wish we could do, we make the trade-off in almost all aspects of life to be devoted to other obligations, like school and work for instance.
I have been contemplating alot lately I guess. Basically, it's about my life and how I should be manage it to my and others' benefits, and by others I mean like my boyfriend, who lives 500 miles away in another country. Is that being selfish or is it just a way for me to seek challenges in my life? Therefore, is it a good thing or is it a bad thing? I mean who says whats right or wrong?
Honestly, all I could ever ask for is just to be content for once in my life. Maybe I am to some degree content, but it's all in my head :) I supposed that's that for today's blog. Wish I had something to end it on, I guess there was this thing I stumbled on about killing bunnies for biofuel, which is at the same time silly and kinda mean. Anyways.... Lata fi now.
