Erm....25cm condoms are labelled XS by Russia...? That's....for some reason that makes me wince....perhaps because my usual rp character for the Hetalia fandom is China....who gets paired with Russia....ow.....OTL

 | 08:31 am - Another random update.
Working in the government I see they're really trying to take the whole H1N1 issue seriously...but amongst most of my friends everyone just takes it as more or less a joke. My office here at my new work place has those hand sanitizer things set up everywhere, and there's a new policy of not shaking hands when we meet someone....we should start bowing like the Japanese.
My tummy's been doing flips for the past few days now, like the flips it does when you're really hungry, except it keeps doing it even if I just ate. And I'm sleep deprived, having to get up at 6:30am but in the habit of going to bed at like...2-3am =__= My mind also can't seem to wrap around the concept that I can eat more than 1 meal a day now that I have some income...albeit the habit it's gotten into of always thinking before buying anything is going to be beneficial to me in the long run I think.
Sighzzors.
Apparently I hear Obama's heading to China in November, and the Copenhagen conference on the environment is in December. Should be interesting. I recently went to a lecture by a Dr. Art Hanson on China and sustainable development. He used to work with some international organization on sustainable development and now deals exclusively with China, so it was a nice little lecture to get some inside scoop. Stephane Dion (former leader of the opposition) was there too, it was really weird. He just walked in so casually and sat at the back, while I was like "O________O...no bodyguards??".
I have a bunch of emails/messages I need to reply to from family, friends, etc., etc. but this week I've been so tired trying to adjust to my new schedule, blargh.

November 3rd, 2009
 | 11:43 am - About time for an update.
So...a month to go before I set sail (or spread wings in this case) for Japaaaaan. Land of the sakura, where the animes lie, and the lolita outfits are calling, and adventures (or misadventures) are sure to be abound. Sent in my VISA application and should have it all set to go by the end of the week.
Oh, yes, and a month before I leave one of my agencies found me another job with Public Service. I swear someone is messing with me. Just as Im about to run out of money they plunk another job on me. It pays pretty good, 7:30am-3:30pm, so I get off earlier (although I have to get up early too, lol). The only...hurdle I guess is that its in an extremely bilingual environment and since my job is receptionist my French is going to need some major brushing up on. Im so rusty since I havent been practicing it for months (and I cant get the keyboard out of French mode hence why certain punctuations are lacking in this post).
Its good to be working again, but I think I got spoiled during my past month or so just staying at home and doing whatever I want. 6am felt way too early to be waking up today. Also, it usually it takes me about 2 weeks before I settle into a new job to the point where I start getting the hang of the routine, responsibilities, expectations, etc. and relax enough so that Im not so stiff with my co-workers. Kind of like when a kid moves to a new school...except within 6 months Ive switched 4 jobs now OTL
This year has been kind of crazy...learned a lot, grew a lot, but still crazy.

 | 09:58 pm - Laundry using shampoo/dishwashing detergent?
Hmm....I have to do my laundry but I'm out of laundry detergent. Seeing as I'll be here only for another month or so (probably less) I think this might be the only laundry run I'm doing so I kind of don't want to buy a whole new box of detergent for it. I've heard of using shampoo or dishwashing detergent instead of laundry detergent, anyone have personal experience? I googled and it seems the answers are quite mixed. Some say flat-out no, others say it's fine so long as you use a little since shampoo/dishwashing detergent tends to get suds-y. Pros and cons anyone?
[EDIT]: Oh, or apparently the best substitute for laundry detergent is to take some plain bar soap, peel some of it with a veggie peeler then dissolve it in some hot water and add it to the laundry?

October 5th, 2009
 | 02:12 pm - Good grief pt2
Pft, ok, so here's the scoop. I'm currently living in the living of a 1 bedroom apartment with another girl in the bedroom. She's older than me (let's say around early 30's, late 20's), married, etc., etc. Before when I had roommates we always looked for places together, each retreated to our own rooms when we came home, none of us really cooked too regularly, slept at irregular hours, you know, student stuff. Now currently, there's a curtain that half separates my "room" from the dining room and kitchen, but clearly I can hear everything that goes on in there.
So, yesterday, I made that post about how my roommate likes talking on the phone/skype in the dining room when I'm in my room where I can hear every word she (and the other person if she's on skype) says, but that doesn't hinder her from bitching out her husband (who's living in the States and whom she calls every single bloody freaking day then complains he never talks to her) or complaining about friends who come to visit her whom she agrees to host.
This past weekend 2 friends of my roommate's came to visit, a husband and wife. Now, usually, with my old roommates, if we had friends over we'd have them in our room and we'd bunk with them, but given that this was a couple I guess my roommate didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the same room, so she let the couple use her room while she slept on her sofa bed in the dining room. This morning, I had an interview bright and early at 8:00am, so I wanted to get up at around 6am. Last night, due to my having had a nap earlier, I went to bed at about 3am playing around on my laptop. Apparently my roommate didn't like it so much.
I had finished my interview and was back home by about 10am, but because I was in my "room" the curtain blocked it so that when you first enter the apartment you can't see me. My roommate comes back home at around 11am and complains to her friends that "my roommate's (aka me) alarm went off at 6 and woke me up. She was up super late last night making noise (I was typing on a laptop being extra careful not to type quickly to minimize the noise), so annoying". I guess her friends who knew I was in quickly told her I was in my room and she went quiet, afterwards asking if I'd like to have lunch with them. Haha, funny.
It was also really nice the other day when she made dinner and asked me to join her. I agreed (and have since decided no more meals together because it keeps feeling like I owe her when I eat her cooking) and throughout the meal she encouraged me to eat more. Then, the next day, she was in her room on skype and I could hear her through the wall (either the walls are too thin or she talks louder than I thought) complaining to her husband that I apparently eat everything and use everything of her's.
She certainly doesn't act her age. You'd never think she was teaching classes at the university. No, I don't like to cook or clean, stop pressuring me to do it. If you want to clean the house that's your thing, it's not as if I asked you to clean up my "room" too. Clean the rest to your heart's content. I'll clean when I think the house needs cleaning, but don't shove your standards on me. Yes I pay less then you in rent, but you know living in the living room's not easy (especially with a roommate like her), and I pay enough money to deserve some peace and quiet in my room and the goddamn right to SLEEP WHENEVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE. Stop trying to be my mom or older sister or whatever, I like my junk food, yes I know it makes you grow fat but guess what, it tastes good and doesn't require cooking. Yes I like the room messy, it's called my organized chaos.

| 02:04 am - Mass emailing softwares?
I swear this year's purposefully trying my patience.
Anyone know of a free mass emailing software up for download somewhere? I recently needed to email about 50 or so people regarding something and after I tried 3 different email servers I found that;
1) Gmail: won't let you send mass bulk emails because they think it's spam, so you get that "message undeliverable" error email. Then if you persistently try gmail blocks your account for 24 hours and you can't send anything for those 24 hrs.
2) Hotmail: has a 10 people maximum limit on all outgoing emails (meaning you can only send to 10 people at a time maximum). After sending out 2 batches of 10 hotmail also blocked me believing that I was sending spam and therefore violating their terms of service.
3) Yahoo: same as gmail. No mass bulk emails, blockage if you try.
I googled for mass emailing softwares and came up with a bunch, but you have to pay for all of them and given that I don't run a business/organization that requires me to send bulk emails regularly I'd really prefer not to have to pay. Stupid spammers, ruins it for all of us.

 | 08:42 am - Poster printing question
I have a question for people on my f-list that are more knowledgeable about artwork-printing than me.
If I want to draw a poster (say, something like 35cm x 35 or 14in x 20in) in Photoshop what resolution (dpi) and canvas size should I be working in?
Usually if I'm drawing something that I want to print out on a regular sized paper (8.5in x 11in) I'll work in 300dpi on a canvas size of 8in x 10.5in so that when I print it everything's still clean and clear, not fuzzy and crappy after having to enlarge, but given how huge some posters can be I have a feeling artists don't necessarily have to work on a canvas the same size as the poster that they want to print out in the end. Do printing places do some funky maneouvering to enlarge images to poster-size without losing resolution?
Thanks~

| 12:49 am - Country slashing...O_O
This is the first week back to class for my university (or ex-university since I've graduated I guess). All of the clubs at our university were given a booth at this pedestrian walkway on campus to promote our clubs and attract new members, so since I helped out the Chinese Students Association last year with some stuff and had some friends in it, I went to help them out again this year with this event. Right beside our booth was the Russian Students group. My first instinct was to run up to the girls running the Russian booth and scream...;
"OMG I LOVE IVAN SO MUCH!! I'M SO GLAD HIM AND YAO ARE BESIDE EACH OTHER!!"
...until I realized they'd probably have no clue who Ivan or Yao were nor what the hell I'm rambling about. Waaa~y too much Hetalia...my Rochu group I totally blame you.
(For those reading this and thinking "wtf is she talking about", Hetalia's an anime where countries are personified into a person. China's human name is Yao, Russia's is Ivan, and us being the crazy fangirls we are have taken to slashing countries together, this pair being my most favourite pair...SinoSoviet relations FTW).

 | 05:21 pm - Back on the job hunt I go.
So....back on the job hunt trail I go I guess...
This really, really, really, really bites. This entire summer has just been really, really, really, really cursed or something. Everytime I think I can finally breathe a sigh of relief at having everything more or less settled job-wise/financially something else wacks me upside the head and throws it all into turmoil again.

September 2nd, 2009
 | 09:12 am - Rant, rant, and a welcome
Freak, think I need to go on another diet or something, my clothes are beginning to feel a bit tight recently again >< My mom came to visit for a few days a few weeks back and she made such yummy food everyday I'm pretty sure I gained weight from it. These last 15lbs or so just WON'T GO AWAY ;A; I think I might have to make good use of that gym in the basement for a few weeks. The thing is is that when I'm at around 133lbs (full and bloated after a big meal) or when I'm down to 127lbs (empty, empty stomach) I can actually SEE the difference when I look in the mirror. It's just 6lbs difference but the tummy just looks that much flatter at 127, that bulge isn't there (granted the stomach's empty so that helps).
Also there's been some more turbulance on the job front, so yay me, back on the temp job hunt trail I go =___= I kind of want to just laugh at how pathetic these last few months have been, that wtfbbq kind of laugh.
LASTLY!!! Everyone~ A friend of mine, and quickly becoming one of my best friends, has just started an lj account. He's into anime, j-c-k dramas, j-c-k pop, loves learning Chinese, Korean and Japanese, etc. He's trying out lj after I showed him all the stuff he can buy/download from here XDD So I hope everyone can give him a warm welcome~ (We all remember how intimidating it was to start off right? Trying to play around with all the functions and stuff, lol). So he's over at ~ ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lou_qi ~

August 31st, 2009
| 05:38 pm - So...another step forward in life
Recently I just moved. In my previous apartment I had a Japanese roommate and a Chinese roommate. In my new apartment I have just one Chinese roommate. My Japanese roommate is returning from Japan today, my previous Chinese roommate returned to China on Friday. My new Chinese roommate is currently away for awhile on a trip.
I've noticed that recently, after having moved, it's been really odd. Like before, even though me and my 2 old roommates didn't always talk or something even when we were all home you would know there's other people in the apartment. You can hear the murmur of videos being played on computers, or someone cooking in the kitchen, or someone talking softly on the phone or whatever. Now though, with just me in my new apartment it's really...weird. I've been keeping the television on (my new roommate has cable and a tv) almost everytime I'm home, even when I'm not watching just so I have some noise in the room, otherwise it's like...creepy, or just...lonely, I don't know, I don't like using that word.
I miss my roommate that returned to China even though she just left last Friday, I mean we were really, really good friends, she was a really sweet girl and I don't think it's yet sunk in that I might never see her again. After she comes back from her trip to China she's going to another city in hopes of having better luck finding a job, and I'll be heading to Japan in December and who knows what afterwards. I'm really going to miss her a lot, and with all the stress we were both under when she left (she was packing and had to find a way to shove everything she owned into 3 suitcases, and I was packing and moving at the same time) we didn't even really have time to sit down and talk before she left ;A;
I kind of want the old days back, it was comfortable in the old apartment with my 2 old roommates, since we were all friends before we became roommates we never felt strange around each other. I like my new roommate, she's very nice and all, but because I just met her we're still in that being super-polite to each other stage so I don't feel quite at home in this new apartment (plus I'm subletting from her so I keep feeling this is still her apartment and I'm afraid of disturbing her stuff and other things like that). I went back to the old apartment yesterday to do some final cleaning before my Japanese roommate returns today and one of the new tenants takes over my room in September and I saw the teddy bear my Chinese friend left on her bed. She said she really wanted to take the bear with her because whenever she felt down or cried she'd hold the bear, but she couldn't because her luggage wouldn't fit. I just held the bear and really wanted to cry, the apartment just looked so empty with her and my stuff all gone and I know that she's gone too.
I know I really shouldn't be feeling this way, I mean it's not like anything bad's happened, she's back in China with her family and friends, I have a great new roommate. Besides, in the future I think I'll be moving around a lot more considering I'll have to go to Japan, meet new people, and most likely one day have to leave them and possibly go elsewhere. I mean that's like in the 21st century right? And the more friends one has all over the world the better since then no matter where you go you'll be surrounded by friends, but still it's just weird after having gotten used to living a certain way for so long. Even when I went back to my old apartment yesterday when I opened the door I thought to myself "Ah, I'm home~" when thinking back, that's not really my home anymore.
*Sigh* I don't think this bouncing around lifestyle's for me, I think in the future I'd like a job where I can stay mostly in one place and not have to move. I mean I wouldn't mind going away for awhile for conferences or whatnot, business trips and stuff, but having to actually leave friends behind and move is too much hassle. Plus I'm a packrat, so I always end up with way too much stuff that makes moving a pain.

August 24th, 2009
| 11:14 pm - So...much...crap
I just spent the entire day packing up everything in my room and moving it to the building next door. Yes I'm moving, to next door. Not that far, still a lot of crap to pack and move though >< How the hell did I accumulate so much stuff? I don't get it, I look over into my Japanese roommate's room and it's clean as a whistle, orderly, no clutter, everything has a place, no stashes of stuff just randomly tossed over. Then you look at my room and omg it's like a tornado's hit. I should take a photo of all the stuff now that I have about 95% of it all cluttered into my new room, it's insane. I have this urge to just toss everything out and start with a brand new slate, except I wouldn't have the money to be able to afford throwing everything out. I have piles of useless crap that in my mind I know I'll most likely never use but always can't seem to throw away because I always end up thinking I MIGHT have some use for it somewhere down the road. At the same time whenever I DO manage to throw something out it's almost inevitable that I'll end up needing it a few days later -___- Life likes to bite us in the rear doesn't it? I hate moving, I detest moving, I absolutely abhor moving, next life if I can't come back as a panda I want to be a snail so I can always just lug my home on my back wherever I go D:

 | 06:50 pm - Dying of heat
Ugh, it's been so hot for this past weekend in Ottawa >_< Up near the 30 degrees (Celsius) range and with humidity and all that it "feels like" around 40 degrees during the afternoons according to theweathernetwork.com *dies* I've had my little fan on 24hrs a day as long as I'm home but even the wind it blows is like...hot wind. It's all hot, muggy and icky and it makes me not want to move because if I even budge an inch I start sweating. The stupid weather network says it's suppose to rain, but it's been saying that for days now and all we got was a brief shower this morning that did NOTHING to cool the temperature down. A thunderstorm is predicted for tonight and I damn well hope it'll be delivered because if this weather continues much longer I'm going to set up a tent in a shopping centre or somewhere else that has AC. I hate, hate, hate hot, humid weather, I can handle cold so much better than heat (of course granted -30 degrees doesn't feel that awesome either).

August 4th, 2009
| 11:24 am - 2009 since graduation
Ok, so let's sum up the last 3 months of my life since I finished school.
May:
- ran around frantically looking for a job
- checked work-related job sites daily...hourly in some instances
- sent out dozens of resumes a day
- only 2 interviews, one with DND and one with Wellness Centre
- accepted job at Wellness Centre at end of the month
June:
- worked at Wellness Centre
- whined and became all paranoid due to job's sketchiness
- went to Montreal with high school friends
- re-started job hunting at end of the month due to not having enough hours and job's sketchiness
July:
- had interviews with Public Service, Environment Canada, Health Research Institute and Transport Canada
- filled in sick leave at Health Canada for 2 weeks
- got job at Transport Canada
In the coming months:
August - November:
- keep working at Transport Canada
- mommy coming down to spend some time together (yay~ <3)
- take some time to self-learn some basic Japanese phrases so I don't go wandering Nagasaki like an idiot
December:
- I'M OFF TO JAPAAAAAAAAAAN!
~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~
I guess that's not too bad considering it's only the 3rd month since the end of school. Inititally I was starting to get frantic about having to find a place to stay in Ottawa since there's someone to take over my apartment room in September (I thought I would be off to Japan by September) but now one of my current roommates is leaving in September as well so I'll be taking her room as the new girl takes mine. Then when I leave at the end of November I have a friend who's willing to take over my room for me, so everything's working out a-ok.
Also made a bunch of new friends online recently through a Rochu MSN group (Russia/China). If you're a fan of the pairing and haven't joined then GO JOIIIIN! The group address is group26689@msnzone.cn , you just need to add that to your msn/windows live messenger like you would any regular contact :D
Our ad and some quick instructions after you've joined for those not fluent in Chinese (the group was created by a girl in China so she made it using the Chinese msn site) (artworks made by the ever talented zuki-cha~n):
~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~ *~ So now that I've finished my pimping job, how's everyone else's life going? (I scribbled this to the Rochu group before I raced off to work this morning XD)

| 09:10 pm - R.I.P.
My little orang/black goldfish died T__T
I don't even know why, what went wrong or anything! I feel so awful! I go him home for just ONE day and he goes belly-up, if he had stayed in the petstore he probably would have lived longer T__T And it's not like when my bunny died when I could take him/her out of the cage to cuddle and comfort him/her, the only thing I could do was panic around my tank praying to the fish god that he'll just magically get better.
I don't UNDERSTAND what happened?! I let the water sit for a few days so the PH level evened out, I let the fish get used to the temperature of the tank water through the plastic bags yesterday, I have a filter, I gave them food but was careful not to overfeed, WHAT HAPPENED??! It couldn't have been too much toxins in the water, it's only been ONE DAY! One minute I look over he's swmimming around with his buddy, next thing I know he's laying on his side at the bottom T__T
To my baby in goldfish heaven, I'm so sorry >_< I don't know what went wrong but obviously I did SOMEthing that wasn't right. I enjoyed having you around though, short a time as it was.

July 30th, 2009
| 07:44 pm - :D
Welcome to the newest members of the family :D (Sorry for crappy pic, tank and plastic bag in the way)
Apparently I'm a fire dragon which means I need water in my life to balance things out and so I got something related to water XD (I could've gone the easy route and just kept a bucket of water in a corner of my room but fish are just so much more asthetically pleasing). Usually I'm not one for all that fengshui, hocus pocus stuff, but meh, given my string of stumbles since graduation can't hurt.
I'm new at raising fish, had some when I was really young and all I could remember was they kept dying, so I asked for the easiest fish to take care of and the petstore lady pointed me to these little goldfish. I felt bad that they were only 95cents, can you imagine if your life was only worth 95cents? Although not quite as bad as I felt for the feeder fish bred and raised to bed fed to the predatory fish ;A;
Anyway, they just arrived home with me so they're still adjusting to the water temperature of the tank inside their petstore bag. One's white and orange, I got him/her because s/he reminded of those Japanese kois and the other one's orange and black. Haven't thought up of names for either (and likely never will seeing as my rabbit didn't have a name and my hamster still doesn't). Maybe I'll name the Japanese koi look-alike Kiku and the black/organge one...Yao or something >__<
Anyway, welcome to your new home babies~ Please don't die on me.
P.S. To my friends of the male gender. I realize that God, Allah, Buddha, whoever's up there didn't create you anatomically so that it was as comfortable for you to sit with your legs closed as us of the female gender, I understand and I'm sympathetic. At the same time, however, when riding on the bus/train/other public transit requiring sitting in close vicinities, can we PLEASE not take up 1.5 seats just so you can spreeeeead your legs until your leg is practically on top of my lap? Thank you, I appreciate it.
P.P.S. I LOVE working for the government. Made $100 for every day that I worked *heart*

 | 09:42 am - American soldier refuses to deploy due to suspicion Obama's not legally president...(lol)
I saw someone post about this on the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) talk_politics community (here if you want to read the discussion in the comments, the post is unlocked) and, well, I found it amusing enough to re-post it here on my lj.
So here's the issue summerized by the HuffingtonPost;
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/14/stefan-frederick-cook-sol_n_231383.html
Basically, there's a group of people in the USA right now that believe Obama wasn't born in the USA (he is said to be born in Hawaii). Now I belive it's in the Constitution of the USA (or maybe it's just a law, I don't know, my US friends feel free to help me out on this one) that any pesident of the United States must be born in the Land of the Free and the Brave, so if Obama wasn't born in the US then that kind of brings up some problems.
Now, there's a soldier who is refusing to be deployed to Afghanistan because he doesn't believe Obama was born in the USA and therefore can't be the president and so is in fact, not the Commander and Chief of the United States military (the president of the US is also the Commander and Chief of their military, unlike here in Canada where the PM isn't head of our military). According to the article, the soldier states that 'he "would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President's command. ... simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties."
Erm...lol? Shouldn't this kind of stuff have been brought up DURING the elections campaign and not now, 8 months after it's been over and done with? Where were the prostests during Obama's inauguration?? Not to mention I personally think it's quite unfair only USA-born citizens can be presidents, you don't have to be born in a country to be able to do a good job at leading it. What if someone's born in another country and a month later moved to the USA where he/she has been living every since? I personally wouldn't care who was PM of Canada if he/she has the country's best interest at heart and can lead well I say go for it (and looking at our present pool of politicians to choose from I'd say maybe we need an injection of some fresh blood into our system x__X). Also, the soldier's claim that he could be prosecutd as a war criminal is XDD If any organization even had the authority or power to try Americans as war criminals I think all those involved in initiating the Iraq War would have long been hauled in for their hearing considering the entire war was illegal. You know this is only because Obama's black, if he was Caucasian none of this would even be a thought in peoples' minds. People would just assume he was born in the USA and no one would even question it. So much for equality and non-discrimination. Obama's got a tough crown to preside over.
