Cause everybody knows but nobody really knows
Carrie fun fact #5: I have this thing with numbers where they have to mean something. For example, when I pick my lottery numbers, they are always the jersey numbers of players from the Canucks (unless I am lazy and do the quick picks). When I am in my car and I'm turning the volume up or down, I always set it to number 17 or 21 for Ryan Kesler and Mason Raymond. If jersey numbers don't work, I use the numbers 2, 7, or 8 because they are my favourites. Even numbers always trump odd numbers with the exception of 5. I won't lie, it's a strange habit that I have. Sometimes, when I upload pictures on Facebook, I would delete pictures just to make the upload land on multiples of 5. It's a good thing I am not obsessively insistent on this number thing of mine, but it is something I do often whenever I can help it. Weird I know.
I took a series of pictures during Canada Day. I've been a camera whore lately. Might as well share it. There are more variations of these. I'll spare you guys and upload just four. OK BYE!

wud up!
Been a while since I've posted up YouTube videos. I didn't like the sound of the original version all that much, but then Dork sent me an acoustic version. I swear to God, everything in acoustic sounds better. I love acoustic versions to songs. Makes his voice sound even more awesome. Love the raspy voice so much.
I'd write more, but I need to keep posts short. Homework calls. BYE!
one awesome weekend
The past week was jam packed full of awesomeness. Despite running around all over to get things done, I had a super kickass weekend. I'm still feeling a little disoriented from my hectic schedule. In any case, never knowing what time it was for the entire weekend at camp felt really good. My cell was put away for almost 72 hours. Surprisingly, I felt perfectly fine with not having any connections to the outside world. But then again, when you're with good company, you don't really need anything else. I can honestly say for the first time in a very long time that I would be content with simply having my friends around forever.
Highlights: Josh's Super Awesome Summer Mix. The mosquito candle that brought us great enjoyment and forest fire danger/panic within 10 seconds. The park ranger and the tree sign. Singing to Celine Dion's "All By Myself" with Josh and nailing them lyrics bang on while passer by'ers stared. The hike to Lower Falls in my flip flops. Getting bird shit on my head 2 seconds after I removed my hood. The air mattress that won't stay inflated. A weekend of breaking rules.
In other news, I bought the most awesome book ever last week. I have developed a huge thing for collecting stuff. First, stuff in a box. Second, CDs. Third, DVDs. Fourth, Books. Yeah, I know... I bought a kid's book. But Robert Munsch is the man. Who didn't read his books when they were little? It's a nice childhood memory type of thing to have in a home library. It cost me $45, which totally hurts the wallet, but it's a hardcover collection of all of his work. I am so tempted to go back and purchase the hardcover collection of all of the Curious George stories. I am also still looking to purchase all of the Little Miss Men books. Sadly, I have not been able to find anything that packages them all into one big collector's item. OK BYE! School is getting kind of rape. Need to start doing homework.

SWEETSAUCE. I got woken up by the single most greatest text message EVER today. THANKS DORK I LOVE YOU xinfinity. YB's album dropped this morning. OH YEAH. Got up, turned the laptop on, YouTubed the songs as the album downloaded, and you can bet your butts I listened to it all day - it's already on the iPod. The album definitely has a strong CB type of style. It's not out on YesAsia.com yet, but that's okay because Dork linked me to the download and that's all I need at the moment. Something is definitely wonky with my laptop. Things I used to be able to do, I no longer can. It's weird. I'll need to get on it with figuring it out. YB, please don't sing so high... you sound like you've been (in Dork's description and with my agreement) sacked in the balls and is singing through the pain. Track 5 is a write-off, I don't see myself liking that song in the near future or with further listening. However, everytime I hear the high pitch, I can't help but laugh or smile retardedly because I am picturing him in pain from the sacking of balls, so the track has got something good going for it. Everything else is pretty awesome though. It's a nice change from my regular iPod playlist. I would have to say that GD's album trumps YB's easy, but then again, they are two different genres, so in some ways, they are pretty equal. I could listen to them both for quite some time. I am super happy today. OK BYE!
D-DAY IN 5 DAYS
DAMN IT. These one minute track previews each day is driving me crazy and it's only on track 2! From the sounds of it, this album is going to be pretty kickass. So kickass that I have added a new category for its kickassness. I get the feeling the whole album is highly influenced by Michael Jackson and a touch of Chris Brown, both of which I am not very surprised about. YB does have a bit of CB style in his previous songs and the linkage between the two of them is nothing new. And everyone loves MJ, and given what happened, I think putting a bit of his awesomeness into recent music happenings is a cool way to keep his impact in the music industry alive. SO... can the days go by any faster now? I'm getting antsy. Very antsy. I am already in love. My heart sinks whenever I hear his voice. My playlist for the week will consist of nothing but YB. SOLar go go go!
I've come to the conclusion that, despite my patience, I'm an angry driver. I might not show it, but I get pretty infuriated inside. Now I understand why my friends get so frustrated and roadrage-like when I'm in their car. Summer construction work does not help the cause. Can I also just say, I love my friends. You guys put up with me, and it's appreciated. It's been quite a turnaround and a lot of stuff going on and yeah... I hope you know who you are.
Magazine Publishing is over and done with. Wednesday's final was a bit easier than I thought. I don't think that I even needed to study, but that's OK because that was practically what I didn't do. Reviewing notes still helped though. Let's not jinx me. Our term project also went surprisingly well. I didn't expect it. Thumbnails below because I've been getting requests to see the finished work from my 4 hour nights and a very grumpy, m.i.a Carrie. The report is longer than the pictures I've put up. A week and a half off! I'll be more responsive. OK BYE!
With all this free time before my next intersession class starts, it's about time I look up Korea-related things so that I can go there, find YB, and make him fall madly in love with me.

SO. I've been a little m.i.a. on the Korean music part of my musical life - partly because I'm updating my music files with all the English songs I've been m.i.a on and partly because school raped me hard this past week. I've been averaging 4 hours a night since last Thursday, my eyes have never been this baggy, I've never been this fatigued because of school, and no one has ever told me, "you look like shit" when they saw me. If I wasn't eating, sleeping, at school or at work, my eyes were glued to the monitor. Life was inexistent. But anyways... EXCITING NEWS has reached my ears, or should I say eyes because I read it for myself, no one told me. YB is finally releasing his first, full solo album July 1st. I have been waiting for this day for so long you don't understand. Starting June 25th, a minute of a song will be released each day until it's out for the public to buy. Can you imagine how happy I am right now? YESASIA.com, expect an invoice coming in from Carrie Ho soon. OK BYE.
Also, JaeBeom looks really good here. He's back in Korea!

Karma. I never believed in it, but now I do.
It took longer than it should have for me to accept it. I held on to those words for far too long and I realized that I can't anymore. Last week, I changed my status. This past weekend, I deleted the group. Today, I changed my display. It was progress. I saw it coming. I tried to fix it, but I guess you can't really stop the inevitable. It's for the best. I guess I don't have much of a choice but to believe that it is - a big price to pay for something bigger. The thing with sending damaged goods in to get repaired is that you don't really know when it'll be sent back. Manufacturers can be so unreliable. It's been a while, and I'm hoping it returns soon. More than you know.
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish. To go back to a place much simpler than this. So airplane airplane sorry I'm late. I'm on my way so don't close that gate.

RAWR. Finished third place in Monday's Playoff run. I am very happy with the team, but extremely sad that we didn't advance into the finals. Contrary to what someone may think, I did not lose on purpose for a cooked meal [sadface x100]. I think what makes it hurt so much is the fact that we could have totally had it. And also, I am kind of competitive - at least with Average Joe's. GG team. [p.s. I had a fun day (too) despite the loss. Thanks!]
I don't really want to repeat myself, so if you are confused about this picture and why I look so LG or maybe not so LG or why I put this up, refer to the previous post. Thanks! This picture was taken October 2004. Again, the quality is pretty poor and I still have not bought myself a new webcam. I have a feeling that I'm going to remind myself again in the next post because I won't have time to get on it. One of my eyebrows look thicker than the other because of the lighting which brings me to a little tid bit fact for anyone interested. I've been trying to grow my eyebrows back for the past couple months. I used to tweeze my eyebrows pretty evenly thin, but then I realized that they started growing back slower and slower or not at all. It worried me. Oh and also, one of my eyebrows really is darker than the other. I don't know how to really explain it other than the fact that I tweezed it poorly one time, or that it's always been like that and I just didn't care to notice until recently. In any case, I am trying to grow it back and go for a thicker eyebrow look. Whoever is reading this must think I'm so weird right now : (
Horoscopes. I don't believe in them, but whenever I stumble across it, I would read it. They are usually wrong and less than a handful are 50/50 in terms of being correct - not that I care because I don't believe in them. Anyways, I bought a magazine for class and my horoscope this month is kind of interestingly true for the most part or maybe I'm just thinking too much into it. Damn this head of mine. It never stops thinking.
I'm allowed to feel things. I think. BYE.
