In the computer lab...

2004-09-23T10:37:00.000-04:00

Hello all.

I'm presently in the computer lab, sitting her, wondering what appetizers I should make, I've got a couple in mind... The first is inspired from a filipino dish, which is fresh lumpia, and probably gonna do like a mini-burger with two pieces of baguette lightly toasted, with a piece of either breaded sweetbread, or normal sweetbread, probably with a nice bone marrow gravy..... MmMmMMM... IF ANYONE READS THIS AND COPIES I WILL MURDER YOU... well, maybe not murder.

That's all for now...

Time for some revisions...

2004-09-16T23:31:00.000-04:00

So I met my teacher after class, cool dude, he just thought I was having some problems, I just told him that I wrote it just in case he wanted to revise his instructions. So that was cool. I asked him if we were going to cover anything specifically Apple, but we're not, at least not a lot. Next week we'll be watching "Pirates of Silicone Valley", basically about Microsoft vs. Apple. Looking forward to that. Hmm...

My aunt gave me some good news...

Avril Lavigne and Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley are not engaged despite a report and photos in the London Sun.

Muhahhaha..... wicked eh? Anyways, got early class tomorrow, which sucks, 3 classes, 8-4. :( Ohh well, seeya!

The power of Information Technology!!!

2004-09-16T12:20:00.000-04:00

So I’m sitting here in computer class, and I just find out that there was a problem assignment, a few actually, and one was mine. WTF. Honestly, holy crap. No I’ve got to talk to him after class...fusking crap. The one thing I was happy about is that we switched classrooms today, now we're in the financial building. They have wifi...:') that’s about the only thing that’s cool. I also had wine class this morning, wine tasting at 8:30 in the morning. Cool eh.. yeah, I like to cook with wine, but I hate it. Awww and the wine we have to do the project on is really REALLY nasty, as Dawn put it, "IT TASTE LIKE ASS!" me never tasting ass, I wouldn’t know. Not that I’m saying Dawn as tasted ass or anything. ;) Hehehe this class is pretty funny. I made some complaints about how my teacher’s instructions were off due to yahoo upgrading, and now he’s talking about me without mentioning my name. Funny eh? OoooO the next assignment is to make a pre-made web site. OooOooo... OMG... KILL ME, well, don’t kill me. Still, this is so far the best elective. Man I can't wait till next week when I bring in my powerbook....OHHH I GOT PAID!!!! MUHAhahah Although I was told that I was going to get $9 an hour, I was paid $8. James apologized, he was told that I was supposed to get $9 but they gave me $8. And they even asked him to ask if I wanted to work occasionally on the weekends. Man. Dunno if I would actually work there, probably only if James himself asked me and if he was in a bind. Not for the other arses. OMG I CANT BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY ASSIGNMENT. yeah... GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT eh???? So, I drove my 'new' old car. It was freakin' fun. Someone should pimp my ride. I tried using my cassette adaptor in the stereo, the tape got stuck and then ejected, and now the radio cassette player thinks a tape is in, but there isn't....OoOooooOoOOo.

Man, this is getting pretty boring. Yeah, so after wine class and before computer class, me, James, Dawn, Ricky, Vicky, Rob, and Steph ate at THE GOLDEN GRIDDLE!! I had the eggs benny. It was okay. He béarnaise sauce was weird, but it was surprisingly good. Mmmm free refills, I love refills when they're free. MUHAHAHAHAH. Mmmm...I could go for a coke right about now. Yay technology. So I got about paid about $500, $75 going to federal tax. I'll get that back at the new year. So I have to pay some debts, gambling debts... DAMN THOSE NICKEL SLOTS... just kidding. Need to pay my parents for my iPod. Uhh yay? time for movie. nice eh? Man I really can wait to bring my powerbook...WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI WIFI. I wish this PDA had wifi.. :'( Hmmm... I wonder if there is any OTHER apple users here, like that guy I was taking to last week. We're about to watch some documentary of the development of technology. I'm here till 3..TILL 3. AAhhhhhhhh. yeah. I really wanna build another pc. Why? not sure. I actually want an apple newton. Cool eh? YEAH yeah YEAH, bored. Some people are asleep right now. I CANT BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ASSIGNMENT. :( :'( waaahhhhh... break time right now, gonna get a coke. BRB back, got my coke...They fixed the coke machine... The most at one time, at the cost of $1.50, I got 3. This occurred twice. Cool eh. So this time I got one. Meh. Hmm...There’s weird food served at the cafeteria downstairs, not sure why people buy the food, I guess they're just desperate like me. Hehhe. Their baked (steamed) potatoes are alright. Man this sucks. Oh. I talked to my film studies teacher, and he said my essay was great, the blade runner one. I was freaking out and thought it was really bad, but apparently not, which is cool. OMFG this movie is weird... WEIRD. bad quality for a DVD. Reminiscent of those cheesy stuff we saw in elementary and high school. This looks like a PBS show. opening sequence has a pretty good editing/design. okay,, watching this movie was pretty boring, until the apple part...then what happens, after 30 seconds, it ends. WTF? that really sucks. Ronnie would probably go nuts. class is almost done, time to see the prof. I’m kinda scared. :S
this was a 10 year old movie. TEN YEARS OLD.

To blog or not to blog...

2004-09-15T20:57:00.000-04:00

Obviously I haven't been blogging that frequent, its more of a sparatic thing, this blog of mine. So I'd like to offer some type of apology to you, in a form of a haircut. Actually, I'm getting it cut cause its gone beyond the point of me taking the time to take care of it... COMBING KNOTS OUT OF LONG HAIR HURTS.... :( Almost as much pain when you pull out a nostril hair.

Avril Lavigne and Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley have become engaged, according to a report in the London Sun.

WHY....WHY....WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY
WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY I mean really.... Deryck is some lucky dude...Hopefully like most famous relationships, they'll be broken up by the end of the week....And hopefully Avril would magically find her way to me ;) :P HEHEHEH...

Ahhh. AHhh.. School is pretty fun. I finished my first Cold Appetizer lab, which was pretty cool. Chef Peace was pretty cool...."Warren Peace" HAHAH. Yeah. He like my presentation so that was pretty cool.... MmMmMmMmM goat cheese.... BAhhh bahhhh..

So...My iPod is pretty cool. Hehehe. Nice and slick. Basically Ronnie has introduced me to some cool music, specifically Sister Hazel. Hehehe. Yeah.

WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY
WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY Damn that Sum 41 guy. Apparently Avril is doing the Maxim cover for October, so I look forward to that.

Okay, that's enough for now, tomorrow I'll be heading to my wine class, and being a person whom doesn't know their own tolerance for alcohol, it should be fun...

Toodles for now,

I can't believe I said toodles, I think its shock from April...

Sorry if the formatting looks weird...hehehe

Confessions of a short order cook....

2004-08-27T00:04:00.000-04:00

Hello All,

Been VERY busy. If you didn't know, I have two (2) JOBS! Can you believe it? Can you smell iPod 4G????? MUHA HAhahahahah. Hmm.. Yup, so I guess this is my second official job within the industry. And guess who my boss is...GUESS?! Too late, its James. Hehehe... Well, he's a manager there. But still, its pretty fun working there, I work with some pretty cool people. I kinda like the rush of people ordering at the same time, but it does get hectic. My feet hurt. OMG I WAS LATE TODAY! Freakin' TTC SUBWAY. There was a supposed "power failure" at a stop so everyone had to leave the subway, and I ended up navigating through Toronto via various street cars, and walking...yes walking. I was still 20 minutes late but they weren't busy, so it was cool. So I'm working two jobs, crazy eh? Last weekend I didn't work for the Apple gig. Some scheduling error. But hey, it was cool having a weekend free. Man I can't wait to spend my money... I mean save, and purchase a iPod, possibly, I know I want one, and that I'd use it, but I'm still not sure. It's either that or making a computer, or 'bulding' a computer. I'm planning to use a shuttle case and mobo, hopefully with a mobo that has a serial-ata used with a nice 160 GB sata drive. OoOooo... Maybe not. AHHHHHHHHhhh

Talk about deja vu.... Man I'm bad when updating...

2004-08-19T19:02:00.000-04:00

Yes, yes, its been awhile... Hehehe. Sorry, Last week I was busy with finals, this week I was busy with sleeping, and the weekends were filled with happiness and boredness (sp?) at the same time. It was actually work for me, APPLE REP JEFF...Cool eh? I demoed for a lot of people, mostly past users whom where so happy that a mainstream retail store has finally carried Apple stuff. I was working at the Best Buy location at Laird, near Eglinton. It was pretty fun, lots of the employees wanted the apple pens that I were to give to customers that participated in the demos. Ooo... Yeah, if anyone didn't read my msn screen name, best buy has some nice girls working there, and by nice I mean hot. No offense to those of the female gender. Heh. Planning to put up those photo albums, but its taking some time in finding some space online...:(

Anyways, time to go for now, gonna see if I can resize some of those pics.. heheh. Seeya!

Man I'm bad when updating...

2004-08-01T01:25:00.000-04:00

Hello. As the title reads, I am bad about updating. I update this blog, but don't update the main site. heheh. Well went out with Ronnie and his friend Viv to watch "The Village." Amazing, brilliant movie.... Loved how it worked out and I knew what was going to happen. I love the clues. HAhahah. Anyway after the movie, we went to Boston Pizza, I had the angus beef steak. It was good, not amazing, but good. Viv is a nice person. It was funny to see her and Ronnie bicker. HAhaha. Sigh. Just typing away as I get some music. So, about my FireFox marketing/Apple interview. I actually did get the job, and this was only to meet Craig, the coordinator/ boss-man?. He's a cool guy, really young. Probably 25. He actually had about 3-4 people named Jeff to interviewed. He though I was this other Jeff cause I was really early. So I'll be paid $12 an hour to demo Apple products and promos to people at a Best Buy in east york, for the first weekend at least. Training is on Tuesday 6 - 9 PM at Apple Headquarters. Listening to Spider-man sung by Michael Buble... IT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME! Music is great, how it pulls people together, whether through the assembling of bands, music sharing... Its endless! Hehe, on the ride back home, Ronnie, Viv and I even sang along to an Avril Lavigne song... :P Hmm... Yeah so people, watch "The Village" and someone give me a microphone... I've been playing around with my harmonica again. Can't find that microphone I had before. It's lost in the vast mess of my house. Oh well... It's discouraging searching for harmonica info on the web, because, one - there's not that many free stuff, and two - you find so many younger people, progressing to a better level than you're currently at. Meh. I think I'll go play around with my harmonica, and by harmonica, I MEAN HARMONICA!

Jeffbot OUT!

Case Study...

2004-07-25T18:29:00.000-04:00

Again I apologize for the absence of blog. Not sure if i wrote this already but I saw, "I, Robot" on thursday with my aunt, cousins, and sister. I actually liked it. There is certain parellels between this and many other sci-fi movies. It's a great movie, but one thing bothered me, If they can maunfacture robots of that magnitude, by 2035 (or whatever it is), how is it that some people still suffer from asthma, and all they have done is made a futuristic inhaler? CRAZY! Personally, my favorite robot was the destruction robot. TRANSFORMERS!! For those that have seen the movie, and possibly the trailers at the beginning, "Taxi" looks like a funny movie. Sort of reminds me of Crazy Taxi, with cops.
Made some cakes on friday, 2 Strawberry Shortcakes, and a Truffle Cake. My original Truffle cake was accidently sold by my teacher, so he gave me one free, someone else's cake. The strawberry shortcake is awesome, but i think i get a slight reaction from the strawberries. For some reason, I don't get reactions from fresh, perfectly ripened strawberries, but if its slightly over ripe, I get the reactions.
Blah. Currently installing Open Office. Its a great open source office productivity tool. Similar to MS office, but programed by others, thus making it free for use. I've heard that many schools and businesses uses it. Which is pretty cool. So I shall leave now, since I have a case study to complete. Seeya!

Blood is drawn...

2004-07-22T02:25:00.000-04:00

Hello all, long time, no write. Hehehe. Sorry about that, I've had like 3-4 tests the past few days. I guess you can also blame it on the smog in downtown Toronto. Just imagine carrying a 10 pound bag, a backpac, and a bag of food, in the middle of the lunch hour, walking in the sun and smog. Crazyy. Today was an okay day, lab mark was 85% for pork. Went to some pet stores today, bought nothing really. Then I went to Sam's Club and purchased 1 kg of New Zealand Genuine Spring Lamb Leg....Mmm.... I brought it home and roasted it to perfection, Ugghhh....I want more. Poor lambs....Baaa, baaa... Mmmm... Anyways reguarding the "blood is drawn..." thing, it was Hock. He bit me and blood came forth through his entry point in the tip of my finger. Hmm... But I still love him. Hehehe.. So. I actually finished testing a photo album program so I can put up those pics of everyone. So, they should be up shortly. Need some help from some people to re-name some of the pictures. Heheh. Mmm... Salad. I found the salad I bought yesterday. Gonna eat it. Anyways, time to go. Seeya!

I, Jeffbot | Coming to a theater near you...

2004-07-16T02:04:00.000-04:00

Hello Everybody.... I'm not really sleepy for some reason, maybe cause it was my lazy day today... Hurray for lazy days. Uhh.. I walked in to my pet's room, guinea pigs and hedgehog room, to get some cold refreshing bottles of water, in the mini fridge. I sat on my office chair, with wheels :), to get to the fridge. The thing is, the chair was next to the fridge, so I wheeled about a foot to the fridge. Ahhh... The benefits of 'lazy days.' Well, when I reached the fridge, I noticed that Hock, my male guinea pig, noticed that I had walked in, and he actually followed my movements in the room and squealed at me. Cool eh?. He was wait for some veggies, so I took some out of the fridge, and hand fed him some celery and carrots. With all the commotion of the veggies, and his squealing, Coco came out and started squealing as well. She hasn't really come out when I was there, but I guess she does now! She's cool. So I started to hand her some veggies. She took them and ate them. Also the first time I hand fed her... I'm so proud.... :') looks like a nose, instead of a tear. Meh. I shave my beard off today, if you could call it that. If you had not noticed, I can't really grow facial hair. And the hair that did grow wasn't specified to a general location under my chin. So I just shaved it off. And cause I have baking class tomorrow... I'm thinking of getting a hair cut. I'd like to ask those of you to suggest some kinds of cuts. It would be nice to liberate myself from knots in my hair...they're so freakin' painful... I don't understand how people can stand it. Especially those with dreads, cause aren't they just huge knots? Meh. Anyways, time to sleep. Don't wanna fall asleep in baking class and impale myself on a cake. So... Who likes music? Did anyone hear about a concert where two people came on stage and had graphic sex while the band played? Whom ever answers this question will get a candy bar of their choice, from...The Dollar Store!! ALright, that's it for now!

The lights dimmed upon the people in the subway car...

2004-07-13T21:57:00.000-04:00

Hello all. Btw, Happy Birthday Melinda, belated now but...you haven't been online in awhile. Hello again people. Today was an okay day, demo, we're doing VEAL....MmMmMm...and Food and Cost Control...I admit that I fell asleep, but it was from the roast beef sandwich I had from Zoulpys (sp?) Yeah, it was about 3:00 pm, just walked into the transfer at young and bloor, waiting for the bloor/danforth line to come, then bam, the Bayview station looses power. So standing there, like the others, I wait, with the message "we're still continuing to have problems at the bayview station, sorry for any inconvenience," blaring on the pa every other minute. I thought to myself....actually I didn't think. So then a couple of minutes pass, a train comes along, we get in, and proceed to sherborne. Enjoying the air conditioning we ride through the tunnel, the lights started to flicker and then all but three shut off. We roll into the train station, with a jerking stop...heheh jerking... and we sit there again, no power, NO AIR CONDITIONING, and many people that smelled... So we wait. Amongst all this I thought about writing a short, short story...So here it is!!!

Bing, Bang, Bong...The familiar chime of the doors opening on the TTC subway car was what Jeffrey wanted to hear. He was riding along with two of his friends from school, James and Dagmar. Not noticing the stops passing by, or the conversation that James and Dagmar was having, Jeff kept his focus on his upcoming stop. "Yonge Station...Next stop, yonge station!" a muffled voice came over the speakers in the usually crowded subway car. As he walked towards the doors, Jeff waved goodbye to his friends and proceeded to wait for the chime, signifying his freedom from the subway car, yet also signifying that another subway car awaited his arrival. He followed the mass of people to the staircase which led the the Bloor/Danforth line. Hopping on the escalator, he began to walk down the left side, but was stopped, due to a man standing in his way. Why can't these people just remember walk left, stand right. It says so right there, Jeff thought to himself. He dare not speak that outloud due to the fact some people on the subway are just plain crazy. Approaching the final steps of the escalator, Jeff walked off and proceeded to walk to the back of the station. A train appeared in the distance, and approached the station. Blocked by people lining up for the doors, Jeff decided to remain and catch the following train. So as the crowds cleared and the train pulled away, Jeff continued his trek to the back of the station. Upon his arrival, he was greeted by an announcement, "We are experiencing problems at the Bayview Station, due to a power outage, sorry for the inconvenience." Jeff as many others sighed and stood waiting for the problem to be resolved. The announcement came on, as many more people came onto the platform. Eight minutes pass and the announcement came again. Then suddenly a train appeared, slowly coming into the station, Jeff became relieved and lined up at the doors. The doors opened and a crowd of people came out, as Jeff and many other passengers boarded the train, they were greeted by the cool breeze of the air conditioner. The train pulled away at a slow pace, and sped up, entering the darkness of the tunnel ahead. The screeching and moaning of the subway car echoed off the walls of the tunnel. The lights started to flicker, and the subway car came to silence. Three lights were remaining as the rest faded into the darkness of the tunnel. A muffled voice again came over the speaker. Hard to distinguish what was being said, people became dazed and confused. A cracking static sound came over the speaker, breaking up. The familiar hum of the motors propelling the train ceased and the sounds of the train propelling itself took over. In almost pitch black, the train jerked and stopped, throwing most of the people to the floor. BooM, CrasH... The sounds of pounding and glass breaking filled the tunnel, not due to the train having collided with something, but from something surrounding the train. There was silence on the train until a shriek came from the front of the car. The shriek triggered panic and chaos in the car. The noise came again, that static sound. It pounded into the speakers like a heavy beat, broken up. The static became more constant, as did the screaming of the frantic passengers. Louder and louder it became, the static took over the train. Through the three lights people began to disappear, windows began breaking, and scratching noises came from the operators booth. A flash of light filled the train, and revealed that half the people were gone along with the static. Darkness returned, this time on light was left. Jeff, still sitting, observing what has happened. Looking through his bag for a source of light, a heavy object struck his foot. It was a flashlight. Shaking, he picked up the flashlight and turned it on. A ray of light emerged, and hit the opposite wall of where he was sitting. He raked the light throughout the train, finding no one but backpacks strewn across the floor, torn papers, and a puddle of spilt coffee. He walked towards the door to the next car, using an umbrella as a weapon just in case something would attack him. He walked, hearing his own heartbeat, it became louder, and louder. He stopped and turned his head upwards. The sound of his heart was being projected through the speakers. Freaked out, Jeff ran to the front of the car to the door. The door, a couple of steps ahead of him, seemed to be already opened, as if it were ripped right out. He stopped at the threshold, and looked in, left to right, and went in. As soon as he entered, a song was faintly playing in the air, not from the main speakers, but from another source. he followed the noise to its source. The noise got louder, and louder. He was getting closer, and closer. Jeff noticed a faint light coming from the bottom of the operators booth door, and walked towards it. This was the source of the sound, in that tiny booth. He crept to the door, and tried to look in the one way mirror that was inlaid into the door. He saw the warm glow of the console lights, and focused further into the booth and saw something he couldn't recognize, he wondered what it was. The object in question was leaning against the back of the booth. The music stopped, bringing Jeff closer for a better look. CrasH!! Two hands, broke through the glass as the static broke through the silent car. Waking up with a huge scream, the patrons on the subway car looked at Jeff with a weird stare. He apologized and sat back down. Relieved, Jeff calmed down, and waited for his stop. SHhhhHHh... Static came onto the speakers and the lights went off........

Nice story eh? Anyways. I'm here, safe at home. Well, that's it for today. Have a nice day!

The night descends on the poofy haired Jeff.

2004-07-10T00:10:00.000-04:00

Ahhh... taking a shower is nice. Especially after you've just cleaned two guinea pig cages...SO MUCH PEE!. Anyways, as the title indicates, I am indeed in a state of having poofy hair. I'm thinking of getting a haircut, but there's really none that I have seen that I actually like. Which sucks. Losing weight is pretty important to most individuals, did you know that you could probably lose up to 6-7 pounds just by cleaning your bowels out professionally? Talk about being full of sh!t. Let's see...if anyone from George Brown actually reads this, that quiz sucked furred game. I mean what the hell. I actually studied. Meh. Hmm.. In baking today, we made some baked custard and bread pudding, it was good, I think I forgot to tell my partner to add some vanilla. But it was still good. We also made some Devil's Food Cake, to use next week. Hmm..still got to do the film studies essay. :( Hmm. Not sure what to write about...

Catching a falling hedgehog with your bare hands is a skill.

2004-07-08T02:55:00.000-04:00

Not that I drop Olive or anything. She was climbing up my arm and slipped, and I, the pet lover that I am, risked my own hands to save her from the impending drop. Hmmm...I guess it isn't good getting blood on your keyboard. Jk. Actually, I've read stories from hedgehog owners that their hogs would jump off side tables and land in a ball and be perfectly fine. I think it seems truthful. Not that i'll try it. Hmmm... So what's up my babies? (in the usual Conan style). It seems that I forgot that I have a Film Studies essay due on monday. Crap. Need to pick which movie to write it on, Psycho, the original, or Run Lola Run. No it's not about a running grandmother, eheheh. Both wicked movies. Bah. HMM.... CAPS LOCK EH? Yeah anyways, I get thursday off, thats why i'm awake right now. Mmm...That Cornish Hen was wicked. I'l have to make more. The day is soon upon us, in which the ipod mini comes along to be sold world wide. DAMN APPLE. WHERE'S MY iTUNES?!!?!?!?!? Uhh...anyways, I'll just go to sleep...

Welcome to the wonderful world that is JEFFBOT.

2004-07-07T15:33:00.000-04:00

Weird titles calls for absolute confusion. ? Yeah, exactly. Hmm. What to write about. I'm watching Jacob Two-two. Why? It's actually a funny show. It may look pretty weird for a cartoon, but its absolutely amazing. IT'S FLASH ANIMATION!!! AMAZING. It was lab day today in school... Cornish Hen stuffed with a wild rice, cranberry and mushroom stuffing, with a side dish of braised Fennel and turned potatoes. So everyone know how big a Cornish hen is? About the size of my fist. Imagine the trouble I had deboning it. I actually cut myself...nice eh? Mmmm... raw poultry in my blood stream. Actually, it was pretty good after I fainted by the site of my own blood. JK. The potatoes were pretty wasteful, if you ask me. I probably wasted like 75% of the potatoes I was shaping. Just to make a football shaped potato. But it was a damn good potato. Mmmm... The fennel was good, never had it before. Overall I thought i did a great job, 80% is the mark I received.

Pets, pets, pets galore. I went with my sister to get her new kitty yesterday. OMG I WANT A CAT...and a miniature horse. We went to a rescue farm for animals. Nice place. Nice kitties. Did I mention I wanted one. AND IT WAS FREE! Free to a caring home of course. Cute kitty, it slept on my stomach on the ride home. I guess its nice to sleep on something warm and soft. Hehehe... Speaking of pets, mine are fine, I'll intoduce them soon, probably tomorrow, I need to take some photos during the day time. :) But two nights ago I allowed my guinea pigs Coco and Hock to play around with each other. Being of the opposite sex, Hock was...ahem...sniffing around. Eh? I stopped the fun fest because i don' t really want guinea pig babies around here. Not enough space. But still its cool. I let them out again just now, they just made some noise at each other, and huddled next to each other. Hmmm... So, more people should read this site. I mean, why not? Hehehe... Btw, I'll be collecting donations so that I can purchase the software I need for the slideshows. Hehehe. Man, visiting that farm made me realize that I want a farm. After I make a good career out of being a chef. Hmmm.. Think of it. A farm/restaurant.. Come and dine, while we slaughter your meal fresh, right before your eyes. Eh? EHHH??? Moooo.... Hmm.. I think I'll make some Mountain Oysters for some of my friends. And not tell them what it is... MUHAHahahah. For the first person to comment, and guess what mountain oysters are will win....a...hmmm...what prize would be good. Yeah, a candy bar of your choice... EH? Gool! A mix of Good and Cool, best of both worlds. And if someone can guess the reference of that was from, will get an additional candy bar of choice.

Seeya later, my nap time is calling.

My Cousin Zacharie would have been four months old yesterday.

2004-07-05T01:10:00.000-04:00

I called up my aunt today and told her to check my newly designed site. Amongst our conversation, she reminded me that my cousin would have been four months old yesterday. For those of you who remember me telling you about my aunt going to have a child, this is she. Due to complications beyond anyone, Zacharie Salvani Bacchus, came into this world a stillborn. When we all heard the news, it brought upon us a deep cloud of a melancholy nature. This cloud still upon us, slowly drifting away, revealing that Zacharie is still with us, watching over, where his memory will not be forgotten. Even though we did not get to spend time with him outside of the womb, we all felt his presence through my brave aunt and uncle. I can still remember finding out my aunt was pregnant and seeing the first ultrasound pictures and seeing my aunt grow and I remember bringing the news and pictures to the Philippines with me and spreading the good news, and coming back home to find my aunt even bigger and happy, Bringing up these happy memories is hard for me, because I know that after the good, comes the bad. It hurts me writing this because i know I can never write how much fun it would be to have him alive, to share his first moments with my uncle and aunt, but I know i can't. The only thing I can do now, is hope, and have faith, that Zacharie was taken to a better place, where he'll be happy. A couple of weeks after his stillbirth, I remember having a dream, where I saw my grandmother who died a few years ago, holding Zacharie, I couldn't see his face but I knew it was him. I asked by grandmother if he was with her and she said that he's okay and is with her. I woke up as I am right now, shedding tears. It hurts me to know that my aunt can't hold him in her arms and most new mothers do. All I can feel that is good, is that he is in the arms of my grandmother, in heaven, watching down on us. I also realized how closer my family became, and am proud of how my other aunts and family pulled together to comfort each other. I've really never told Zacharie to my friends, only to my closest friends in George Brown. I really don't know why. I guess I really didn't want to handle that extra weight on my shoulders. But since I talked to my aunt yesterday, I realized how much she is enduring and how she feels. I'm proud of her, and my uncle, of having the strength to go on, while still keeping Zacharie in their hearts. So this is the story of my cousin Zacharie, whom will never be forgotten... Rest in Peace, my sweet little cousin.

Harmonica-Man

Hmm... Lately I've been watching tv, using my powerbook, and watching movies. And what happens?? I ALWAYS get subjected to some kind of Harmonica usage. A couple of weeks ago I just picked up my harmonica and started playing. Man I suck. I've realized that through the what, 5-6 years I've been playing I haven't progressed through a particular point. DAMN YOU HARMONICA. There's noting much you can do with a harmonica. I really which that I learned how to properly transpose in OAC Music. If you search around, there are hardly any harmonica sheet music. There are books, but the notations are different for each different book. There should be a standard notation.. GRrrr... I'd actually like to learn the chromatic harmonica, like Stevie Wonder. HE'S FREAKING AMAZING. The song "Isn't She Lovely" is damn amazing. But, in the world of money...I don't have any. I BOUGHT CD'S. LEGALLY! Chromatic harmonicas go around $140+. :(

Mmm... Chinese Food.. BRB.. HAHAHAHHAHA

Man...I can't finish food, its not even that much. Hmm..

Yeah, the music I bought was... Matt Dusk - Two Shots, Ron Sexsmith - Retriever, and Pilate - Caught by the Window. I haven't opened the Pilate CD yet. So. Blah. Matt Dusk is an amazing singer. Kinda that old 1920's type of music. Cool none the less! Ron Sexsmith...Come on! It's RON SEXSMITH. iTunes.. When will it come to Canada?!?!?!?!?!?! Europe has it, but no Canada. I wrote an email a while back to The Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency Ltd, the Pres said he'd love to have the iTunes Music Store, and are in talks with Apple and that it's Apple's decision when to open the store. Blah. I can't wait.

Hmm.. What else to talk about...Greece wins eh? It's nice to see the coverage on tv, of the crowds. I'm personally waiting for news coverage on the riots as a result but, nothing so far.

I guess that's it. Gonna read some chapters of Film Studies. :P

Here comes the Spider-Man!!!!

2004-07-04T03:18:00.000-04:00

Hello All...
It's late at today was actually a good day. Woke up early (for a weekend) at 12:30 PM, and uhh just basically watched tv. Supposed to go to Price Club, or Costco, but I got lazy. hehehe. So, Mike calls me up and asks to watch Spider-Man 2. So we did, with Joe and Dave. Pretty wicked movie, better than the first. Okay, first there's spoilers ahead, for Spider-man fans, you should know this. A few characters, whom become Spider-man's foes, are introduced, before they're bad of course. One was John Jameson, who eventually becomes Man-Wolf, I think in the comics, he went bad due to being controlled by another bad guy, but eventually becomes good. Another is Doctor Curt Connors, whom becomes the Lizard, both friend and foe of Spider-Man. And finally SPOILER COMING, Harry Osborn, EVERYONE should know this... He becomes the 2nd Green Goblin...Cause he's crazy...CRAZY. Man that's cool eh?? So many enemies would be cool for the next Spider-Man flick, personally I'd like to see Venom, whom Eddie Brock made famous, I guess. The alien symbiote was found and used by Spider-Man, whom liked the fact that the thing he found could transform to any type of clothing, and as a costume to aid him in his crime fighting. Also, I think it made its own webbing. Cool. Then Spider-Man found out it was an alien symbiote which tried to bond with him permanently. So, he got rid of it, eventually, soon passing it on to Eddie Brock, who was mentioned in the first Spider-Man movie. It would be amazing how they can produce Venom on the big screen. One can only imagine what they can do...with Spider-Man 2 they spent approximately $54 million on digital effects alone, I think with Venom's character, they'd easily spend more.

Enough about that...so... What's happening people, or maybe I should say Ronnie... I wonder how I can advertise my newly designed website...Actually, now thinking about it, this is the most often I've updated any of my sites...Crazy. Anyways, I've got to save up money for that pic program I used, with the music and all, but I might take Ronnie's suggestion on using iphoto. Maybe Ronnie, maybe.

Rest in Peace Malibu

2004-07-02T22:05:00.000-04:00

Today I was informed by my sister that she had to put down her pet kitten Malibu, due to health complications. I regret having not met the cute little furball in person, but have enjoyed pics of her high-jinks(sp?) Anyway, hopefully she'll enjoy her herself in kitty heaven. On an angry note, what kind of petstore sells a person a kitten whom 3 weeks later would be so sick and unhealthy, so much that she would have to be put down. I'll tell you the store, Pj's Pet Store. I don't hold the chain responsible but the individual store. I mean, upon selling a cat/kitten/dog or whatever pet, they should be health assure and vet approved. Especially for Cats and Dogs, since they require vaccinations. I know the store most likely has some kind of return/refund policy, but you cant reimburse emotion, I mean, when you buy a pet you don't just invest your money, but also your time and more importantly your heart and emotions. I'd say to boycott Pj's, but I'm willing to agree that its not entirely Pj's fault, but every business should have rules and guidelines that should be used and monitored. That's why I'll like to take the time to suggest that you consider first adopting a pet from a licensed breeder, or experienced breeder, or better yet The Toronto Humane Society at least they take the time to have professionals check them over and provide proper care, and it's cheaper. There are those pet stores that team up with animal shelters and to those pet stores I applaud. Hmm... I know, I by pets from pet stores, but I make sure to educate myself until I'm satisfied that I can correctly choose and ask questions to the employees. Okay, done venting. Oh, btw, the vet said Malibu's health complications could be due to the fact that she wasn't nursed long enough...

Hmm...in the next coming posts I'll introduce my pets. Maybe.

A new day has come...also a new..er website.

2004-07-02T05:33:00.000-04:00

Some of you may think, "Why even bother re-creating your site when you don't even update?" To those who may say that or something similar, It's because I have too much time on my hands and I'm lazy! Anyways, it's kinda crappy trying to sync up this blog with my webpage. So I'll try harder...Probably... If not Ronnie will yell at me, since he's usually the first to read.

Hmm... It seems I've got the hang of this blog thing...

2004-07-01T18:27:00.000-04:00

Well, well. We meet again Mr. Blogger.com. I joined this blog site about a year ago and this is about the third time actually using it. Ronnie actually told me to go sign up, and I remembered that I did before. Hmm. I guess this will be updated more often than my actual website. Cool eh? None of my friends even know that I'm writing this, so I guess I can bash them like crazy....LIKE CRAZY....Speaking of crazy, Dave's a queer one isn't he? Just kidding. Sorry Dave, put your gun away. And by queer, I meant weird. I just ate Taco Bell....and I think i got food poisoning. The bad thing about going to Chef School, actually, ONE of the bad things about going to Chef School is that you're more perceptive about food handling in resturants. And by the feeling in my stomach, and lower extremities, and soon to be filled toilet, I think I shouldn't have eaten that Chicken Grilled Fajhita dilly. George probably made it, unless he left the wonderful world of Taco Bell.

Hmm...It's Canada Day today isn't it? HAPPY CANADA DAY! Or maybe HAPPY AMERICA JR. DAY! that was a reference to the simpsons btw. Today, Mandarin is giving away a free buffet to 'offical' Canadian Citizens. I wonder how to put links into this blog... Where's Ronnie when you need him. It seems you can use html tags in here. MUHaHHHHAHAHahahah BLAH. This thing is pretty cool I guess. I think i should incorperate Blogger into Jeffbot.ca I'll do that now... BRB
