Two Things I like: Switchfoot and Accounting

Where the magic happened











The best shot of Tim I could get..













So last week Monday Elly and I met up with Cheryl and headed to the Switchfoot concert.... It was my third one but I still enjoy going to their shows. This concert they let us choose the songs they played and they played all of the great ones including Dare you to move, meant to live, twenty four, learning to breathe, we are one tonight, and the shadow proves the sunshine. Twenty four has a lot of personal meaning for me so I enjoyed that one. When their Nothing is Sound cd came out 18months ago approx. when I heard the song The shadow proves the sunshine, I said to myself that is the one song that I want to hear them in concert.... When they played it I got very thrilled. It was as wonderful as I had pictured it to be being song live. GOod concert over all. The opening band was fairly good although the lead singer looked like Gullem (sp.) from Lord of the Rings... scary....

In other news, I have finished Human Resource Management and Hospitality Law so far in my schooling. I did surprisingly well in Law which was nice. We started accounting today and I actually understand it!! The worst thing is that I am also enjoying it!!! Who enjoys doing math!? When I was getting the concepts I thought back to a day in Math 11. I got really frustrated because Ic ould understand it so I left the room crying and never returned. When I got home I had an email from Mr Kiers saying "Hate the Math, not the mathemetician." Those words were flashing in my head today but now its almost the other way around. Hate the accountant teacher, not the accounting?? No.. I like my teacher but not as much as Im liking the work... So Im a geek but Im fully okay with it. The first three chapters were supposed to be the worst and they arent so bad, so it can only get better, well, lets hope so!

Anyways... I shall be off to have a hot bubble bath after playing some quality volleyball.... Goodnight

Talented

Kimmer is a great graphic designer. Here is some of her work for Every Orphans Hope, promoting Orphan Sunday! (and one for me!)

Valentines Day Roses

So I got some flowers for Valentines and I love taking pictures with roses so here are a few.. kinda weird, I know.

The Beast

I thought I would write a little post on the perks of driving a 8 passenger van. It is interesting to see how people think of you in relation to your vehicle. Here are some views:

-Drug Dealer (living in Surrey doesn't help that)

- Creep

-A mother with a lot of children

When I went through the Starbucks drive thru today, the guy asked me if I usually drive a car. I said yes, sometimes I drive my mom's car. I said this van was mine to drive normally though. He asked me how many people fit in and I told him 8. He then went on to ask me if I had an 8 passenger van because I had that many children. I almost started laughing out loud, but didnt want to make him feel bad. I told him I didnt have any children at all and that the van is my dads old work van, that I get the pleasure of driving. After that he seem really confused of why I would still drive this van around. It was quite funny to me. I was tempted to tell him how old I was and that if I had that many kids I would have started having them at the age of 12 and would have to have one every year since then. Goodtimes for sure....

You get a lot of weird looks from the van, but everyone now knows me and my brother Matthew by this van. My coworkers get sad if we have to go to our storage unit in the car, my classmates wondered why I didnt drive the van when my mom was in Edmonton, and people always know I have arrived when the van is parked outside. Go to love the personalites of vehicles....

Happy Valentines Day

Have a good day with the ones that are special to you!

Knock...knock...

We don't usually get too many people who just knock on our door unless we are expecting them, like most people. I was sitting watching my sister's exboyfriend (his grandpa) on Deal or No Deal when we heard a loud bang on our door. Who could that be? When a cop comes knocking on your door you get this knot in your stomach, even though you've done nothing wrong. Thats what I had when the cop knocked on our door.

He asked us if we knew about the barrels of chemicals sitting in the greenbelt next to our house. I told him that I had seen them in the last two days since the snow had packed down on the bushes. He took down my name, number, birthdate etc for investigation purposes. He went looking around the bush again to see if he could find anything.

My dad decided to go ask him what was going on. Earlier in the day I noticed that from 192-200 on 72 ave was all blocked off with cop cars. He told us that they had found barrels of chemicals in two locations down there, and now right beside our house. He said they were probably used a long time ago for a drug growing. Awesome. You got to love Surrey!! So tomorrow I'm most likely going to wake up with a million cop cars in my driveway and 72 might be blocked off over here!! A lot of people take this route, so if you do, you might want to consider another one for the morning!!!

***It's all stuff for crystal meth and its on global news tomorrow***

My Brother is the Best

As most of you know in school for hotel management. Our instructor gave us a research project in which we have to do primary research on a General Manager of a hotel. Where the heck was I supposed to find a GM that would be willing to talk to. Then I remembered that my brother James works at Diva at the Met, at the Metropoliton. I talked to my brother and he hooked me up. He called up his GM and got me an interview for Monday! Im nervous and excited all at the same time. Nothing to say but James, you rock!

(All of my siblings are the best, no favorites, dont worry!!!)
