Leaper year!
I started the week with a headache! Pishi and I went to my parent's house to watch Oscar together, and this time it dragged till 11:40 at night. Actually I never watched Oscar completely before, because I always thought watching it is a waste of time. Truth be hold that after watching it on Sunday night, I started my Monday with a headache and the rest of the week my energy level was off. I will never watch this program again! I always used to listen to the results from the media the day after and may be watch the movie that was considered best.
The TS manager sent me the book that would be helpful to me to read. And he actually said that I can keep it! I truly felt that he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart. It wasn't politics or bunch of empty promises. That is what my lesson I guess will be from this manager, to be serious with my promises and act accordingly.
This week my pishi was working in the evenings and we only got to talk on the phone mostly with each other! It reminded me of our engagement time!
This year was the first year that I started contributing to my RRSP! And this year because it is a leaper year,(i.e. February is 29 days) the deadline was yesterday and due to my ignorance to financial stuff, it kind of stressed me out!! I honestly would like to take a course in book keeping and accounting and tax calculation and financial stuff to be self sufficient. Not knowing about these things to the fullest sometimes drive me crazy!!!
Tonight we are invited to 2 of our friend's surprise birth day parties! it doesn't rain but when it does, it ...!!
For some reason, I am craving for spring! I can't believe it is here in less than 3 weeks! The weather doesn't show any signs of spring weather or milder weather yet! It snowed crazy yesterday. I think this winter has been the best winter of my life so far. I didn't hate it!!!It is amazing how my taste in things are changing. I like walking on the snow and driving outside while snowing and not get annoyed from the traffic. I don't know if it is the result of pishi's love for snow that I am becoming more interested or I am growing up! I am enjoying things that I would never care before.
I think this year was the first year that I felt very content with my status que. It scars me but at the same time that is the goal in life, right? To live in peace and feel comfortable in you shell! But I am sure there is always more room for being better and improvement in myself. I am beginning to notice things and beauties in nature and people that I think I never saw or realized!

Surprising Week
Last week was full of surprises! Although it was a short week due to the family day holiday but it seemed to be long. I think a lot of it was due to the fact that I had to study for that quiz! The quiz went well but our instructor assigned us another assignment!!I was working on it this weekend. Friday was our group meeting, where all QA members in our site were attending. To my surprise, they awarded me with a thank you certificate and a gift card for my work with our team in front of everyone! I was completely surprised. Come to think of it, there were many ways, I could have responded to my supervisor's thank you speech! I guess I was to astonished to respond properly!!
Also, to my further surprise, I am nominated to participate in a documentary on behalf of a professional organization! I couldn't believe it at first but when I spoke with the representative, it was clear that it wasn't a joke! I went to the studio and we talked about the format and we are suppose to start the shooting in 2 weeks! I hope I don't mess up. But at the same time I don't know what I can do ahead of time!
My third surprise and the last one of the week was bumping into one my dear classmates in our apartment elevator! Can you believe it? She lives in California but she was in Toronto on business trip and was going to meet one of her friends. Seeing her truly took me back to the times we used to hang out. She is the most energetic girl you can imagine. Very athletic and beautiful. Her life story is long, but I can just say one thing about her and that she is an inspiration.
