Yay!! I just saw some recent news on the Canadian Postal strike that has been going on for about 3-4 weeks now. On the CTV website, they said that the postal workers have been forced back to work by the government, and that mail is to resume with normal business as soon as Tuesday (TOMORROW!!).
So i expect to see mail in my mail box tomorrow afternoon :D I'm a snail mailer, which means i love writing letters, going this long without writing any letters has made me a little crazy lol.
Here is the link about the postal strike update! :

Thrift store finds under $25!
In Love with Second Hand stores :) Value Village!!
Living Divine Vintage Haul
Last week Tuesday, I went over to my cousins place to drop off some clothes I borrowed from her lol (it was long overdue but meh! the point is she finally got them :P). We decided to go out for abit. We went to check out "Value Village" ( a second hand store here). I got into purchasing second-hand clothes stores, from watching the youtubers "ClothesEncounters". I love their tips for thrift shopping, their D.I.Y. (Do-It Yourself)tutorials and just their sense of style. they're not afraid to be different, which i think is so amazingly-awesome (so not a word, but oh well lol).
Back to my trip to Value Village. I purchased 3 items under $30 dollars which was great!! I'll post pictures in abit.
xoxo!!

Interpals meet up :D !!
About 2 weeks ago, my friend who i have been talking with via internet ( for a few months), got to finally meet one another :). It was pretty cool, we met up downtown, and went to the mall walked around for a bit, looked in a few stores and then went to the food court for something to eat (Fries and Tacos !!). I realized I don't go downtown as much as I use to because. While my friend and i were eating, about 2-3 homeless men came into the food court asking for change. I was abit taken aback at first, but i was more sad, because I really wish i had some money to give them. I just never feel right when i have to turn them away.
Anyways.....so after our food eating lol, my friend and I went walking around downtown for abit and took some photos aswell!

My Day at the Library!....don't be jealous :P
So this morning, while feeling extremely down, and borderline EMO! I decided to get up off my but and out of bed and take myself to the library. And brought my laptop aswell lol :P
I started walking around, and looking at books, and then sat down and started reading some books, surprisingly, I felt better afterwards. I took out all sorts of books, biographies, inspirational, and a few others :D Oh and even one on math, the subject that i hate the most. I still don't understand why we have to learn all that jargon...or as i call it nonsense in high-school, when we can't even put it to good use in "REAL WORD" as the teachers enjoy referring to it?
I mean its only until you reach college that you learn how to do math that will help you in everyday life situations. But even then its not enough, because it only teaches you the "VERY VERY VERY" Basics of what you need to do.................anyways, got abit sidetracked but no worries!!
In all i ended up taking out about 11 books in total, I'm not sure exactly where i'm going to find the time to read all of them, but i guess i'll have to make time haha!!
here are the names of the list of books in no particular order (in case you wanted to check them out :P):
1) Everyday Math Demystified (a self-teaching Guide) by Stan Gibilisco
2) The Great Crash: How the stock marker crash of 1929 plunged the world into Depression by Selwyn Parker
3) 1000 places to see before you die: a travelers life list by Patricia Schultz
4) Inside Larry & Sergey's Brain by Richard L. Brandt
5) No Guts No Glory: How Canada's Greatest CEOS Built their Empires by David Olive
6) Forbes: Great Sucess Stories: 12 tales of Victory Wrested from defeat by Alan Farnham
7) The Baglady Papers: the priceless experience of losing it all (true story) by Alexandra Penney
8) The Manley Memoirs by Beverly Manley
9)iCon Steve Jobs: the greatest second act of the history of business by Jeffrey S. Young & William L. Simon
10) SCANDAL! :Amazing tales of scandals that shocked the world and shaped modern business
11) The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman by Geoffrey Redmond, M.D.
Bonus**: I wanted to take this book out too, but i think i have enough to sustain me for the next 3 weeks lol :P anyways here it is: Thy Neighbor's wife by Gay Talese :D

Job hunting: I've gone from being optimistic to straight pissed the FRACK!! off
So its been a few months now and still no freakin job yet!!! Sometimes i honestly feel like i'm going to loose it. I mean, I'm now realizing that its not as easy to get a job, as it once was a few years back. Lately, I've been up in down with emotions of extremely pissed off, frustrated, exhausted, and just down right sad. I mean, I hate being so cooped up at home because i can't go anywhere.
I mean i go out there and hand out the resumes, and what pisses me off even more is that i don't even get an interview with any of the places i apply too.
I don't know what i am going to do, I really have to find some other options to making money, because looking/applying for jobs just isn't cutting it anymore..... I guess its true when they say, that when you apply for jobs, its the employers pick of the lot. you have no control over getting that job.
