me against the world

Please visit the new blog. I’ll be posting there from now on. It’s still under construction, but the text will be there :)

Note to Richard: I’ll e-mail you in a while once I finally sort things out and let you know what my plans are. Thank you :)

I spent too much money this summer, but while I was doing it I managed to have one of the best summers of my life so far. I spent it with some of the best of friends and experienced some of the greatest times; I will not be forgetting any of it anytime soon.

But now it’s moving into the second week of October and my daily life is very different. I am no longer going out after work almost every day (and thus, not getting yelled at every night - although the one time I do go out, I still get words tossed my way), and life at work is a lot busier than it ever was before.

I still cannot believe that time is flying by so quickly. Soon the big conference I have been anticipating at work will be over, and then I will be looking forward to the big competition I will be working on and attending in the Spring. There is a very big chance that I will be in Tokyo for a week in March but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Already I am incredibly satisfied with this year away from school and this internship, and there are 10.5 months left to go. I’m experiencing and learning so many things. I am begining to really realize and contemplate the vast number of opportunities that lie in my future, and I don’t think I would have noticed them if I had stayed at school.

All in all, despite the changes in my social life, things are good.

It’s Thanksgiving Monday (in Canada), and I’m at work again. Something about these long weekends. On Friday I had a wonderful time in downtown Toronto with the London crew (plus two lovely male add-ons) eating sushi and desserts. Then I spent my days reading books and watching “Lost” until today when my brother and his fiancee came over to visit. And now I’m at work trying to get some stuff done before the craziness that is this week begins. I’m also planning to meet up with high school folks in an hour or so.

As you can tell, I’ve changed the layout on this website. I gave in and downloaded a theme because I wanted a change, but couldn’t find the creativity nor time to make one myself. I miss the days when I used to churn out creative and rich layouts all the time. My design portfolio was vast with different styles and content, but over the past few years I just haven’t been bothered. Anyway, for now this layout will do. I still have to fix a few bugs here and there, but it’ll be complete soon.

Anyway, back to work.

For those who are randomly visiting… the site is under construction for now. I’m playing around with things… It’ll be done soon.

edit (May 22/06): And this site is possessed. Everytime I edit the code, something changes in a way that is not expected… and it doesn’t make any sense to me. Gah…

So I’m currently taking this “introduction to digital imaging and website design” course (which actually ends this week) and I’ve been working on my final project all week.

This course has made me miss my old website-crazy days… so look out for a new layout soon. Once I finish with this darn site (my project), I will whip up something nice for this site because it’s been a while.

Plus it’s summer, and I feel like writing more. *smiles*

We’ll see what happens because I have a lot to talk about these days…

Yes after a long break the invincible Uma kicks back! I’ll be posting here again real soon.
