Weddings, Mexico & Yoga…

So in this post England Visa situation life that i’m currently experiencing, I’ve decided that in order to make the whole in between time bearable and hopefully make it go faster, I’ve decided to focus on important things and give my self something to look forward too.

Ideal hands are the devils playground

                 - Someone with a religious affiliation that I do not concur with but I find this quote valid none the less

  I’ve been pouring my heart and soul in planning my role in Becky’s Wedding!!! She has asked me and another great friend, Amy, to MC for her wedding!!! I couldn’t be happier to be honest!!! She has given m my two favourite things in the world, she’s allowing me to talk and be the centre of attention!!! I’m pretty sure this is why I went into teaching!!! hahaha… Amy and I have come up with some truly great ideas and a really amazing surprise along the way which I’m sure Becky will love and be touched by… we hope… either that or she may kill us in our sleep… *note to self invest in Kevlar Vest before wedding (just as a precaution)*

Also, because Becky is always one for having a good time, instead of spending her honeymoon with her husband alone she has invited the entire wedding party as well!!! So Mexico, here I come!!! Soooo excited I can barely stand it!!!! I’ve never been but have always wanted to go, so it is only perfect that I not only go but also go with 2 of my best friends in the entire world!!!! I’m sooo blessed I can’t believe it!!!

And this is wear Yoga comes in… In order to feel great and help pass the long nights till Mexico, Becky’s wedding and moving back to England, I have taken up the amazing task of losing a couple pounds to A) fit into my outfit for Becky’s wedding B) Look some what good half naked on the beach in Mexico, and C) Not actually die when I cross the finish line next weekend in my first ever Marathon!!! More on that to come in the following week!!!

So, it is my hope that with all this to distract me… I will be back in England soon enough, but then again… I won’t be here with all my amazing friends!!!

It will forever be my life to be pulled between the 2 worlds I love… that is my curse, that is my gift

Memories of Candle Lake…

It was a simpler time then…

This is why I hate Kanye West!!!

What a fucking Idiot!!! Okay, yeah I’m not sure if Taylors video was the best female video of the year, but I also didn’t think Beyonce’s Video was the BEST video ever either… but bottom line is… he’s an idiot, like who the fuck does that!!!

The Journey Home…

So I’m sure by now all of you have heard the story about me having to hike it all the way back to Canada because of this silly Visa situation, but long story short… Arrived back in the UK fine and dandy… Well just before I was about to start work, I got a phone call saying that my Visa is no longer VALID!!! Ouch, not gonna lie, it was a bit of a blow… Anyways so I quickly got my affairs in order and now a week later I’m sitting in the Ottawa Airport waiting for my flight back to Saskatoon…

And of course I’m already enjoying the perks of being back in Canada… As illustrated below…

You know I must say I’ve never been one to consider travelling to Ottawa but after having this stop here… I’d say I’d like to come back and see more… This is probably THE nicest airport I’ve seen… and I’ve seen ALOT of airports in the past year… hahahah

It’s very spacious, nice pubs, good shopping and distinctly Canadian… Which is always nice when you’re in the Capital City… hahahaha

Also another perk of being back in Canada is the hot Canadian men!!! OMG they are so damn fine in this country it makes me miss home far to much to be legally sane… hahaha… Or maybe that’s the pint talking… probably a little column A/B!!!

And to top it all off I’m enjoying this nice little meal looking out onto this lush green field just off the run way in this quaint little pub that serves all my favourite drinks… minus Spiced Rum, which I’m going to have a chat with the manager about later… that is just absurd… hahahaha

It’s just so lovely!!! Oh and the sun is just shining its bloody face off which is nice… it’s been miserable in the UK the past week, so it’s nice to have this nice view and a good drink, mixed with some awesome

 Random Stuff UK 356

weather to tie me over on my nice 2 hour wait for my connection!!!

Oh well all in the name of Travel, right??? Well I’m gonna get back to enjoying my pint and get a Caesar on the way because I’m back in Canada!!!!

8. Emma Vinn
9. Alicia Brand
10. Cecilia Wower
11. Amanda Ritcher

→Are you honestly surprised about any of these?
Not overly, maybe one or two… but sounds about right, I frequently get feedback from these people on the on goings of my life so it only merits that they would be actively interested in my life… hehehe

→How did you meet 4?
I first met Becky, when I was 16 I got my first ‘real’ job working at Family Pizza in Humboldt… after a couple months a new girl started, whom I was terrified to speak to until she started harassing me, because apparently everyone told her that I was a huge talker!!! And when she was around I would never speak… hahaha… oh the joy, anywho, she then preceded to call me out on it and made me feel like I was being a total social idiot so I thought I should talk to this girl… who now seemed really cool and not at all scary… and well we then went for coffee and coffee turned into a lifetime of friendship and love!!

→How much does 6 mean to you?
Lisa, words can’t describe her… she is this beautiful person with the most amazing heart I have every encounter… so full of spunk and life, especially considering she is a counsellor at our school… She has this infectious smile and always gives you a cheerful hello… Work would just not be the same with out her!!!

→Describe 1 in two words.
Impossibly Amazing

→What is your most fond memory with 10?
Any time spent with her in EPDY 495: Teaching Sex Education, it was a magical time when all was right in the world and we got to pretend to be immature High School kids for a couple hours a week… it was the best evening class I've ever taken!!!

Honourable mention…. Spilling Red Wine on her Prom Dress 10 minutes before we are set to leave for the Education Prom… I’ve never EVER felt like such a shit as I did in that moment…

→Do you know all of 3's secrets?
Not Likely… which is probably a good thing

→If you could marry either 2 or 11, who would it be?
Well this is basically a Moot question but it would defiantly be Carolyn as she is the ‘female version of me’… us moral degenerates have to stick together you know… plus this way we won’t fuck up any body else’s lives in the process… hahahaha

On a more serious note, I absolutely love Carolyn, so I would anyways… Heart!

→How far do you think you are on 5's stalker list?
Probably not very far… I’m such a bad stalker

→When is the next time you're going to see 7?
Not sure… probably close to never

→When is the last time you saw 6?
Last day of term in July, sadly

→How do you think 2 feels about you?
She loves me… but not enough to stab me in my sleep with a butcher knife… but she loves me… hahaha

→Are 11 and 6 anything like each other?
Yes both amazingly fun and awesome!

→Describe the relationship between 4 and 9?
There is none to speak of, other than they both know me

→Would you ever want to date 4?
LMAO… funny question… the answer will change depending on whom you ask…  but I think that apart of me was confused when I met Becky, she was the first person I felt was really a friend to me, and I think, well I know, i feel in love with her… I think the problem was is I didn’t understand those feelings and thought that I did want to… so glad we are past that stage… eeeekkk!!!

→What do you think 9's parents are like?
I have never met them, there fore have no opinion but I’m sure they must be pretty okay considering Alicia is pretty awesome, and a great teacher and mother

--> is 10 single?
No, Ironically she is dating a man name Ryan though… Cece, is this a Freudian thing??? lol

→If you had never met 3, how would your life be different?
Well… Yes it would be only in the sense that I met him through his mother whom is a teacher and great friend at my school… so there fore I would not have gotten my job her in the UK, and never met all these amazing people and students of mine, so yes it would be in that sense… so I’m glad I know him.

→If you could tell 8 one thing right now, what would it be?
”I know you are recovering from last night, Emma, so I have the perfect medicine for you… another round of Tequila!!! hahaha

→How did you meet 1?
Another epic story!!! I became friends with Jacquie, my BFF, ultimately through a mutual friend of ours at the time, we met on a pub crawl for the first time after hearing loads about each other from said friend… Well needless to say we clicked and Loved each other from the very minute we met… Well I loved her from the minute we met… I thought she was so amazingly refreshing and cool that I was totally caught off guard… (not sure on her side but it all ends amazingly anyway so it doesn't matter, hahaha)…

The best part is though is that after our initial meeting, I happened to be going to visit my mom the next day in Outlook, a place my family had just moved to a farm there about 5 months prior to this… I was talking to Dan (the friend) on the way out to the farm and told him where I was going… He proceeded to tell me that Jacquie was also from Outlook… This is where it gets really weird… Since my parents had moved to Outlook, they had been telling me about their Neighbours that live literally down the road, and how they had a Daughter about my age, named Jacquie, and how I should met her because it would be nice… I’m pretty sure my Mom was on the Love Wagon about this, and by this time I was already out, but I think my mom was still resisting lol… old habits and all… anyway… as it turns out these 2 Jacquie’s were on in the same… SOOO we always joke that no matter what we were destined to meet and become friends… because after hanging out we slowly discovered how many friends we had in common as well beside Dan… Funny how this world works…

→How did you come to be friends with 10?
During my first bit of teacher training in Edmonton, we met in a Curriculum class, we as a class bonded rather well, well most of us anyway, and we went for drinks one night which slowly became a regular thing… Cece was of course one of them, and she’s also a fellow Aquarian and February Baby!!! Our Bday’s are only 2 days apart and we had one monster of a Bday party my last year in Edmonton!!! lol

→If 1 or 3 died, would you be lost?
If I didn’t have my Jacquie, oh my God, I’d defiantly be lost… i don’t even want to contemplate this question any further… in fact there are a fair few on this list that if I didn’t have in my life I’d be FUCKED!!!

→What is the weirdest thing you've ever seen 4 do?
lol… throw a bar stool at a guy the night after my 19th birthday… lmao!!! Sorry Beck! lol.. seriously ummmm…. not sure she’s pretty normal… I've heard stories though, she became a lot more ‘normal’ by the time I came into her life… hahaha

→What is 7's only weakness?
no idea

→Are you friends with any of 11's friends?
Of course… all of them… duh

→Do you think 6 and 8 would make a good couple?
Lisa and Emma… hmmm, well considering they are both married and not Lesbians… YES!!! They both have a passion for life and DRINK so what more does any good outstanding British Citizen need???

→What is the most badass thing you've ever seen or heard 11 do?
Go on a big bender weekend in Brighton…

→What is the one thing 2 most exceeds at?
Being Asian… she’s really good at it!!!

→If 1 and 3 hated each other, what would change?
nothing they don’t even know each other…

→If 2 said to you that she/he loved 6, what would your response be?
Doesn’t surprise me… I always thought Carolyn swung that way, because lets face it the girls a freak, and also Lisa is a amazingly awesome person… it is only natural that people would want to love and adore her… hell I would… hahaha

Bahahaha…

Some People are Gay… Get over it…

                                       -Sign on London Underground

This is sooooo freaking cute…

Curve Balls…

When Life hands you lemons, you take a trip to Mexico

                                                           - Dylan Laine

So imagine my surprise when 16 hours before I’m to start work, I receive a phone call saying that I no longer have a job…. yeah that was not the best call in the world to receive. Believe me… however refusing to believe that this had happened I made some important and necessary phone calls… this resulted in me finding out that I’m an illegal Immigrant in the United Kingdom!!! Amongst all of this mess I managed to get it straightened out and even though I am leaving the UK for the time being and returning to the brisk Canadian climate, I will be back in the UK come November!!! This time ‘legally’….

It’s funny but I always thought the day I received that phone call would be the most horrid day of my life that i wouldn’t be able to sleep and just want to die… but it wasn’t! This has actually turned into a blessing!!! I’m now going to be returning to Canada just in time to do the things that really matter most to me in this world…

1) Now that I’m going back home, I’ll be able to spend more time with my friends, whom to be honest I didn’t see as much as I would have loved or cared too… I miss them everyday and wish they were here with me, more than words could ever say.

 

2) I’m gonna be home in time for my cousins wedding!!! I was so upset about not being home for this as it has been years since we had a huge family event like this and the fact that I'd be missing it, was killing me… plus I hardly ever get to spend time with my most excellent cousin Kristi and this is the bestest time to do so!!!

3) Most importantly!!! Becky!!! I now get to go to the Wedding, Stagette, and on a Vacation to Mexico, with the women and one of my bestest best friends in the entire world, whom I always attribute to saving my life…. Now I was always going to be there for the wedding but it was gonna be under rushed circumstances and with little time to spare… but now! OMG I get to see her and spend t he important time with her before her big day, something she has spent years looking forward to, and it makes me soooo  happy to know that I can be there with her during this time and spend it with her, because she means the world to me and nothing will ever change that!!!

The point is… things will happen in our lives that we cannot control, but what we can control is how we deal with these bad situations… we tend to focus on the negative far to much, I’m so glad that beyond everything else that I’m still able to see the goodness in this set back… which to be honest is minor at worst…

On another less preachy note!!! I got my car the yesterday!!! I’d like to introduce you all to… Jazz!!!

He is also a manual car and OMG I love driving Manual!!! I will never own another car that isn’t a manual!!! So much fun to drive!!!

 

     Also it’s time for another favourite video of mine!!! hahaha This time It’s from a day trip to Borken, Germany… another one of those silly trips Graham takes us on every now and then… hahaha…

 

Awww Graham’s trips!!! I will miss those until I return!!!

Hahaha Forgot about this video as well… to funny… this was in Rome after walking through the Roman Forum… there is a great story behind this but it probably won’t be funny to anyone else but Emma, Vanessa, Carolyn and Me… lol Enjoy
