The things we did, the things we said
Keep comin' back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you
Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never separate us
Deep inside, I know you are
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone
No, no, no, no
I walk along these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone
(Somehow) somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone
If there's one thing I believe
I will see you somewhere down the road again
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close , everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are

lotsa stuff happened since my last post!... fun stuff... i guess?? varsity skating tryouts happened last wednesday. It was alright i guess, but i could've been a lot better coz i pulled an all nighter when i had a 6:30 am practice! not very smart eh?? but but irene was over and we were having a girl talk thing with tracy for a while! which was fun cept i kept falling asleep! lol.. not very smart.. and trying to wake up at 5 to get ready was absolutely brutal! when me and emily walked to the place, it was pitch black on campus and not a soul was up.. it was a scary walk! so dark and creepy! hehehe.. as for the tryouts itself, it was okay.. couple people could do jumps... most did dance... overall, not a bad practice although it could've been a lot better..
well, i was exhausted after!!! couldn't stay awake in class, couldn't do anything!!! skipped my classics class in the afternoon and just stayed on the couch from 12-5 watching sinbad with whoever walked in my dorm at the time that they did.. LOL... found myself asleep on it too! nothing much... just way too exhausted that the rest of my body started acting up.. cough, fever, cold... you name it,.. thank goodness it only lasted till friday.. MUAHAHAHAHA...
anyways.. thursday was an okay day... i had an aiesec meeting and that was really cool! might to go missisauga for a conference this weekend.. should be exciting coz not only is it a cool conference with global leaders and what not, but it is also this giant party of stupid people doing stupid stuff! okay.. maybe not stupid people, but stupid stuff.. at night that is.. LOL.. what to do though, i have an acf retreat the same weekend! and homecoming!! should i head towards my career, my spirituality, or my social life??? herm.. someone make the decision for me coz i can't..
friday, nothign significant happened during the day.. went to acf in the afternoon and that was awesome..worship with mike leading it, singing the same songs in chapel, felt like PCA all over again.. kind of comforting actually... it was nice to be around that environment after such a long time.. it was such a relieiving feeling.. anyways.... after acf, derek, mike, me and tracy hung around trying to find food! we ended up taking the bus to perth for subway! lol.. my my my, that sub was delicious! i want another one now! lol... went to see what the rest of the gang was up to.. and found out that they were drunk on the way down... quite sad, quite freaky, and very amusing.. hehehe.. we were "headed" to some science party... which was non existent.. so to sum up, that was one interesting night and ill leave it at that... hehehehe... mike, dlo, frank and foo then came over to watch movies at elgin coz everyone knows that elgin is the place to be! LOL..
woke up really early the next day to via rail back to toronto to surprise my mom coz she didn't expect me! the ride itself was alright since i was asleep for most of it anyways... just hung around with my mom for the day, pmall, ikea, centerpoint, dinner, what not... brian came over at night to see the new apartment! FIRST GUEST! LOL... awesome... watched mr. and mrs. smith, but that didn't quite work coz the movie was screwed up.. LOL.... met up with sig, wes, brit and paully at yorkdale on sunday for lunch coz WES IS LEAVING!!! FOR CALIFORNIA!! FOR DISNEY ON ICE!!! which is bittersweet coz im sooooo proud of him but im sooooo sad that he's leaving! WE'LL MISS YOU WES!!!!
anyways, back in london, had classes today.. nothing out of the ordinary.. i have a filipino dinner tonight! should be fun!...
as a side note, CONGRATULATIONS TO PATTY!! HE WON IN MONTREAL!!! WE LOVE YOU PATTY AND WE"RE SOO PROUD OF YOU!
and now im off to an aiesec meeting... more later!!!!

joined a filipino club yesterday! should be quite interesting.. lol.. they kinda looked at me funny, as if i wasn't filipino.. which i may not be? iano.. but it should be fun.. ill see how it turns out.....
weirdest thing, i saw miss ng's cousin yesterday too!! it was sooo weird coz i walked by him, and stared? and he stared at me... and then we gave each other a weird look... like a really weird look.. then... he was like... i know you? where do i know you? im like.. OMG! MISS NG's COUSIN!! he's like.. OMG! YOU WERE IN YEARBOOK! LOL!!! awesome!.....

so my univ life is settling down.. Getting used to classes and what not. I can now walk around campus without thinking about where I'm going and manage to end up at the right place!!! LOL... classes are actually not bad, since they last about 45 mins anyways... and I'm meeting tons of new people! getting into routine is actually quite comforting because now i don't have to think about what I'm going to do or what i have to do since everything is already automatic.. I like it... Im also loving the independence.. knowing me, i never really had that much independence before but now its quite refreshing! yesterday, i went to perth and back at like 10.. LOL.. okay okay.. maybe that's not really that late.. but it was for me (quite sad eh) so that was fun. Yesterday, Kevin and i had some astronomy project we had to do so we watched the moon through a telescope! that was soo cool coz it seemed like if i just reached out my hand, i could touch the moon! it was cool.. hehehe...
herm, i had an aeosa mixer on monday! that was really really fun!! met tons of new people and some i met before at the dinner! it was cool coz now we're all settled in and we're getting to know each other a lot better. It was nice to know some people in the same boat as me as we all suffer together in our extracurrics and bus20! lol...after the mixer, we had a little asian mooncake party at our rez! sad eh?? jeff, rozie, jenny, alfred, and me. lol... that was hilarious coz we all started eating mooncake while secretly, okay not secretly craving happy planet! YAY! GO HAPPY PLANET! lol...i think they think im dumb.. or at least some of them do.. lol...
herm... might think of doing that managing job next summer. make a ton of money running your own window cleaning business... have to look into that coz it may be fun, but im still kinda scared. meh.... we'll see.. kinda iffy about the window cleaning part because i honestly don't know who i could hire to do window cleaning at like $9 an hour... something to think about i guess...
heading back to toronto this weekend for the glorious MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL! lol...spending time at the new apartment and just catching up with some people that i miss!!! so call me this weekend! lol...
its amazing how im not procrastinating! im loving it! lol.. life is soo much stressful without procrastination.. let's see how long that will hold up.. i give it a week.. LOL...
hope PCA and T.O is doing well and I miss it dearly. Miss the halls, miss the familiar faces, miss the teachers, miss my locker (although i do have my own munchie basket here), and just miss everything!

let us recap the week shall we?
MONDAY
move in day..i had so much stuff that i had to bring 2 cars with me. but, to my surprise, i wasn't the only one who brought alot! lol.. infact, i didn't bring enough. Moved in, bought frosh kits, yearbooks, phone plan, etc. then i unpacked. i love my mom! she unpacked everything for me and made my closet nice and organized! lol.. my mom, lemuel and i went for lunch after that and then we went back to the rez. more organizing for my mom, more sleeping for lemuel, as i interacted with my room mates. They are tracy, christina and anna. kevin and mike came over for that too. at around 5 ish, we went to the elgin field to learn cheers. insane cheers! too much i would say?? and kinda weird for us to scream NIPLE! all the time! lol... we headed down to the opening ceremonies where there were more cheers as each rez and each faculty did their own cheers for all the frosh. it was fun at first, then it dragged on and kept going and i got a headache. a hypnotist came after and it was wicked! like those people were actually hypnotized! kinda scary actually, like there was some sort of exorcism involved or what not.. LOL! i was exhuasted after that so i went back to my rez.
TUESDAY
woke up to banging on my door by my floor dons with toilet plungers! aiyeee! we all wore out bright orange shirts! GO ELGIN! meh.. did rez activities all day which wasn't really anything. We stayed at the rez a lot coz we were exhausted. quite honestly, i can't remember what happened this day. I know pca people came over to my rez and we hung out there for a while. graffiti dance party at 9. that was wicked! the music was awesome and we just had to sign everyone's shirt! it was awsome till around 12. then it got gross so me and emily left.
WEDNESDAY
faculty day! GO SOCIAL SCIENCE! we had this intro thing which was awesome! social sci does rule the world! LOL.. all the sophs were crazy!!! soo much energy. there was this super frosh competition which was funny! this guy made a truck out of cardboard and led us in some weird cheers. and there was this other guy who stripped in front of a couple thousand people right down to his boxers. then he mooned us! aiyee... kinda gross.. another guy took his shirt off and poured chocolate milk all over him then rolled around in it. meh... kinda dragged on after too. there was a charity bbq after that but the food was horrible and we stayed in line for like an hour and a half for a burger and pop. not worth it. we listened to some profs introduce themselves then there was this competition thing but i was soo tired i went back to my rez and napped. jer called so we met him. they came over and hung out with sam and their friends before me and tracy went to the grocery with the rest of the rez! lol... i love the grocery. need to go back. at night, there was an acdc cover band but that kinda sucked and i lost my friend jess so i just left...kinda got gross coz all these people starting smoking pot and grinding and what not... do not like to be around that.
THURSDAY
first day of class!!! nothing much.. class is class.. interesting! can't wait to get into the normal routine of classes. hung out with emily which was fun! lotsa catching up and walking around.. LOL.... meh.. nothing much.. there was a carnival at night.. but that was soo boring! went back to our rez... and watched hot chick with emily and jess... OOOH! i forgot!!! OC!!! ahhh! thank goodness jess had a tv! lol... we went to her room and watched.. oh my gosh.. how dramatic already! LOL!!! love it love it love it!
FRIDAY
more classes... nothing special.. i love my business class though! its soo fun! lol... herm... hung out with emily then i went back to my rez coz i wasn't feeling well. slept the entire afternoon.. until it was time for the foam party which wasn't really anything either. the foam was soo little and it was only at this small corner which was jam packed with people! ugh... more gross couples making out and what not plus so much more drunk people! left it at 12 with em... herm... nothing much
SATURDAY
slept till 1!! aiyee! lol... i was soo tired! and now i made my own breakfast and im going to go do my own laundry! LOL!!!
fun fun week so far.. but i can't wait till things get back to normal...

it is not a nice feeling to be woken up by a pouring of cold water and then to hear your mother laugh hysterically!
leaving on monday... bittersweet feeling.. Never really realized how much my mom meant to me until now, when I have to leave her alone. :(
