Wow! Last time I updated the blog was in Dec in 2007. Its okay I know no one actually reads this but me and prolly chris haha.
So much has happened within the past 8 months Here is the highlights.
LA and Vegas Trip in Feb ::
SO FUN! So much family love. I went with Chris and my good friend michelle. I love my family there. They are soo nice, inviting and just friendly. Too bad chris got super sick in Vegas. But I became Nurse Karen and made chinese medcine for him. it was like wow for me to even see my 'motherly caring' side haha. But it was a lot of fun overall. We went to Disneyland, OMFG drank delicious Thai Iced Tea that Im addicted to. I miss that + Churros from Disneyland. OH! and that yummy ramen and japanese food too. There was great food there. Las Vegas was fun too cept kinda chilly. We saw a Cirque De Soleil show and ate deliclious bellagio buffet. Some fun shopping and it was overall great getaway form nasty toronto snowstorm weather to sunny california! next time I want to go to San Francisco cuz ive never been.
Grad Show in April ::
I've officially graduate my 4 year program and I have a Bachelor of Design. It has been a fast four years. I still can't believe I will not be returning to school in Sept. It seems like yesterday I just got my acceptance letter and just started school. I've learn a lot during those years about design and I have met some great friends. There were some super stressful times but I made through it. I love the field of design and being creative so I will definitely move my career in that direction.
Montreal Trip in April ::
Whheeee! We travel as a group of 5 (Chris, Cassie, Ashley and Derek) to MOntreal and checked out the city, We rented a apartment which was very stylish and chic. We ate DELICIOUS montreal corned beef sandwich AHHH so good. Too bad it rained most of the time were were there but overall it was fun to chill and a small side grad trip before my LONG eurotrip.
EUROPE trip in May ::
I went to London > Barcelona > Venice > Rome > Florence > Pisa > Lautennbruen (Swiss) > Paris for about 25 days. I traveled out of the country for the first time and it was soo fun. Lots to see, do and just experience. I saw the famous landmarks in europe including Big Ben, Effiel Tower, Swiss Alps, Leaning tower of Pisa, Venice Canals, Colsseum, etc. I ate SUPER yummy foods like PIZZA from venice soo good, omfg gelate from rome (massive shop), Meat Pita thing (Shwarmas?) + Churros from Spain, MmMmMM so much tasty foods.IT was loads of fun and I loved Swiss and Venice the most. Now I am poor and paying OSAP back. I want to go to Florida or Cuba next year. but my parents are considering going to Vietnam/Asia two summers later, so hopefully I will have enough money and time to go with them. Yeah I think I am a travel whore now lol.
Beach/Cottage Trip in July ::
Fun time went to Wasage Beach and stay for two nights with a bunch of friends. GREAT SEXY photoshoot with my sexy girlfriends. Oh it was so hot and I love shooting them! I got a d60 now. Yay bigger LCD screen from my D70. More Megapixels and smaller body too. The weather was sorta cool so the water was cold too and I got to beat Chris in Pool. Speaking of weather, july weather is CRAZY rains outta nowhere. This is the wettest summer on record.
Job Hunting in Aug ::
Started working on my portfolio and looking for jobs. Seems like lots of places are not hiring or looking for a art director or intermediate designer. However, I applied on Monday and then bang! Interview on Tuesday. I got the job on Weds and I signed the papers on Thursday.
So now I offically signed on a 3 months contract today with pixelcarve inc. I am a junior graphic artist/office assistant. They seem very nice and their projects seem very interesting. After 3 months I will be part of their permendant staff, if all goes well. My first day is on monday so lets see how that goes. I'll still work at Black's on the weekends so its going to be a hectic 3 months working 7 days a week like last summer.
hmmm... will I revamp this site? Maybe, I'll try. Maybe try making it all wordpress like or something fun. I'll should update it maybe new colors. I haven't even touched the other sections. of the site since i made this like two summer's ago. I think I will try to but I might be super busy/tired/lazy.
