A spontaneous change

April 30, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago, I was fixing Sheryl’s network at 8am. After that was done, she took me out for breakfast. We ended up at Markham Station, with much caution, since Sheryl’s last time there wasn’t too good at all. (For details, ask her!) After we ate, and she ogled over our très cute waiter (she was really close to playing “Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey when he asked her what else she wanted), I felt like getting a haircut because my hair was getting long and harder to manage. She ended up going with me and finally getting her highlights.

While I was waiting and watching her go through the process, I kept on thinking that maybe I should do something new with my hair since I’ve had mostly the same hairstyle in the last three years. I’ve cycled through the fauxhawk, messy spikes, front spikes, and the occasional buzz cut (some pictured below):

After playing around with my hair for a bit (while sitting on the chair beside Sheryl), I made a spontaneous decision (with her coersion, of course!). There was still a little bit of the dye left from her highlights, so it was applied on my hair. The result?

It’s totally different… and if you know me well, this is one of the styles you’d never pictured me to get. It’s been getting a lot of compliments though, so I thank the people who’s liked it so far. And of course, my hairstylist who made it happen!

What do you think of the new hairstyle?

No rhymes needed

April 18, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

structure and form,
do I really need to follow?
rules and regulations,
do I have to obey them?

this verbal diarrhea
can I make this make sense?
all the words that are flowing
off the top of my head

a million thoughts
inside this mind of mine
for that I cannot sleep
on this cloudless, dark night

writing words on a piece of paper
what can this all mean?
my hand is moving
as if these words are flowing from the ink

paralyzed in amazement
these words that I come up with
I just realize now that I’ve written
a poem with no rhymes needed

__________
On another note, this is officially my 100th blog post! Yay… I’m quite pleased that it turned out to be an original writing. As most of you might not know, I do write on my own time — most of the time during times when I’m up at night and I can’t sleep. I should really share some of my writings with you, but not right now. You have to look out for that later. For now, this quick and spontaneous one from tonight will have to do! :)

Taxi service, maybe

April 17, 2008 Rye 1 comment

The TTC officially announced that their drivers and operators might go on strike if an agreement is not reached by 4pm this coming Sunday. At least people can start preparing if the worst happens. I need some extra cash, so maybe I should start up a taxi service for people I know starting on Monday! It could work out since I love to drive, and all you’ll really need to give me is some cash for gas. It wouldn’t be as bad as paying for a cab… traffic would be hell though, so I guess that’s the only thing holding me back. It’d be fun to drive people around town for cash though… tee hee.

It’s gonna really suck if they do strike on Monday and stupid gas companies hike up the price just to frustrate everyone even more.

Anybody need rides next week? I can work around my schedule! :P

“People You May Know”

I guess this section on Facebook is new since I’ve never seen it until I reloaded my homepage a few minutes ago. I found it quite amusing as to who the first three friend suggestions were… especially the third one! :P

Dashboard 2.5

April 15, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

It shows that I haven’t been updating my blog recently since I log on WordPress and the whole dashboard has been redesigned!

I like. It looks much cleaner… it’s gonna take me a while to get used to it though. I should’ve seriously taken a photo of me when I logged on. I had that WTF confused face!

Anyway, I’m just wanting to update and it’s 4:30am and I should really get some sleep. I’m finally done proofreading my report to submit later today! I’ll put up a real update when I’m more coherent.
