15km Aimless Walking

Horoscope may be right, once again. Bad luck coming this week, I should've worn white clothes and today was only Monday.

Today was supposed to be a simple day with only two things to do: take the car for oil change and buy crackers.

Started the day off waking up late for the appointment. Got there an hour late but it's a Monday, there shouldn't be any problems. The boss even told me my car is next after "this car". I left my contact so he can call me. I wasn't in a rush or anything. I was planning to walk around anyways. Went to a supermarket to look for crackers but they didn't have the one I needed so I went to get bubble tea at RPM, it's been a while since I had it. I had the sesame pearl milk tea; it was good and reasonably priced. Then, I walked to Landsdowne Mall. That place is getting more and more deserted. After a while, I walked to RC because I have nothing to do. Nothing really interesting to see and the pet shop doesn't have puppies anymore; a law was passed to ban selling puppies at pet store. On a side note, I want a chinchilla again. After all that, it's been an hour and stil no phone calls about picking up the car. Tired and bored, I walked to Chapters and read some books. It was fairly entertaining hour reading about taxes and 2012. I walked to London Drugs hoping it'll be nice and cool and close to getting the call. At 2pm, I decided to call my dad asking how long it does to change the bloody oil from the shop. In the end, I have to walk back to the shop and asked the boss myself.

When I got there, he told me that my car hasn't been touched yet. The story was that I was an hour late so he put another car to fix. My car also needed to rotate the tire and the first one was on the port so he can't put my car there. The first car also needed to wait for parts to come in to fix. After I asked him how long it much longer I have to wait, he told me an hour and a half to two. As I was leaving to wandering some more, he gave one of his workers the key to my car. I am guessing he senses the urgency now and decided it is a good time to start working on my car. I doubted two hours, he has one car to work on. It takes 30 minutes to do oil change. I gave him some slack assuming he starts at 11:30am and another 30 minutes to rotate the tire with A MACHINE!!! But nope, two hours gone and my car was still sitting there and I am starving.

Sooooo, I walked around some more and walked to the public library; a place I haven't been for at least 6 years. I knew I was bored when I found a book on management accounting and started reading it. I was fairly interesting and somewhat difficult. That will prepare me for my new courses on that topic. After spending two hours there, I walked back to RC because it's on the way back to the shop and there is AC. It's better than waiting under the sun. Through RC, I went to London Drugs and looked at food. It was a big mistake but I didn't buy anything. I went to the magazine section and briefly read the entire magazine on Mac. Got bored again and walked to BestBuy; the same area as Landsdowne. That's a lot of walking if people know Richmond. While browsing aimlessly, I finally saw the Samsung Galaxy S2. It is a beauty. It's thin and light. It looks better than the iPhone and faster responses. It's dual core, it's natural. The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is nice, too. Knowing BB and Apple are having problems with the future, I think it's safe to get a S2. I love the S2 so much. Now, I have to wait for Rogers to get rid of the Infuse and promote the S2. As I was browsing the DVD and Blu-Ray sections, I got a call. Finally, my car is ready to be picked up. Notice the time, it's 4:45pm.

Fuck...

Ugly/Puppy

2NE1 has a really nice song called "Ugly". It's about being self-confident and empowering women. I think it's empowering in general.

I was thinking about having the puppy and it fits the chorus, hahaha.



Chorus:
I need a cute puppy.
And nobody gonna stop me.
Except I don't have any money.
Ain't got no money.
Don't lie to my face,
And telling me get it.

I need a cute puppy.
And nobody gonna stop me.
Except I don't have any money.
Ain't got no money.
Don't lie to my face,
Cuz I have no money.

*applause* Thank you... BYAH!

WTF Moment

At a Starbucks "drive-thru" (this is not proper English, but generally accepted as it is), a lady and her kid WALKED up to the "drive-thru" window and asked where the closest Tim Hortons is. What the fuck?!
