Lê, Kim, and Me

This wednesday was a day off... At first, I thought I didn't have anything to do so I asked Ly if I could come over to bake a cake. Then, I realized, I already had a date with friends to see Premonition.

Premonition... it was fun. We spend the whole time guessing what was happening, trying to put pieces of a puzzle together. There are seven days in a week and these seven days were all mixed up. However... in the end, all you know is...

- You cannot change destiny
- Enjoy every moment of your life
- Be faithful and trust your husband
- Love your children, for you will have another one even though you're husband is dead.

Awww...what the hell. However, I still enjoyed my time. Uh-huh..and we went to a restaurant near the theaters to buy lunch since none of us had dinner. Remember? I wake up too late... hehehe Oh well...so we sneaked back with chicken wings and fries. Umm.. yummie. But my friends were using me as table, I, who was sitting between them. One of them even dropped food on my pants. When the movie was over, they didn't pick up the trash.. Well, at least, pack up everything and put the boxes in the bag!!! Anyways... so I picked up all the boxes and they were asking me if I always clean up after watching a movie.

Well..not always, but I already felt bad enough because we ate chicken wings and fries that I have to least clean the mess up!! Urgh, and I was obviously scared to be scold, kekeke.

Okay next.

I called up Kim and Lê. They were at Kim's place and I told her I'll be at Berri-U in front of the bookstore waiting for them in 30 min. She asked if I would be able to turn up on time... lol and I said yes.

My friend's boyfriend was picking her up and since I know he lives near Sauvé, I asked her if he could drop me to a bus stop. Although he says he would be at the theaters in five minutes, I came like... 20 min later. Grrr...Ah well. Okay, so I show up 15 min late. However, they were no where to be seen!!!!! It was soon 16h00. I called Lê's cellphone several times but he never answered! I was afraid they already left so I just sent him an sms, saying I was still waiting. Few minutes later, I got a sms back...that says they were in the metro. But why would sms work while the phone doesn't? o.O

Okay after travelling around the city running errands, they decide to eat at a chinese buffet in chinatown. Funny stuff just start from here...

Lê... he couldn't bear to hear my no-ending stories...so he kept sighing, whining and saying ' Helen! Helen'! ' Ah... I told him about my 'I want to bake a cake' obsession... I said the sentence 'I want to bake a cake' so many times that he was about to go nuts... but that made me laugh.

He wondered where my obesession came from... and I was like, " Hum... don't know... I was chatting with my aunt--"
" What? you chat with you aunt? bwahahahaha"
" Yup. And I told her out of nowhere that I wanted to bake a cake!"

Talking about being random... Lê spent the night comparing Kim and I, saying we are twins, that one Kim is enough but two are just too much. He said that Kim always change subjects... whenver they talk... she would cut in and change subject. But... but... I do that too...and explained that if we don't go ' OH RIGHT! this... blah blah blah ' then we'll forget. We cut in because it reminds us of something else we wanted to say...
Awww...

Another thing that Kim and I have in common... we drop foods when we eat. I don't quite remember... either she was picking something up with her fork or cutting something with her knife... but that piece of food fell off the table... kekeke... and just then, I told Lê that it happens to me too... but he didn't believe me.. until I was trying to cut something with a knife that doesn't cut...

What else? Ahh... he says we believe whatever people tell us. When he just said that, I yelled out a big 'No.'
Then Kim explained that if the person, who wants us to believe him, tell the lie with enough evidence or with a serious tone, we'll believe him. Thinking about it carefully... I just had to agree because most of the time, I go : "C'est vrai?".

Next thing we have in common is our dressing. Styles might not be exactly the same but some days, we can dress very casual and some days, we can dress very girly as in wearing skirts to work... and because we worked close to each other before...people commented on that point before. Kekeke

What else? Ah right. Lê said that if a person puts enough pressure when talking, even though it isn't Kim's fault, she would feel guilty. Then, Kim said I'm just the same. I guess, I said 'no' again. However, just a split second after, I agreed...
Maybe...maybe I just got use to tolerate.

I told Lê that I'm more passive than Kim. She would defend herself but not me. She brought back the story of...

I was sitting on a chair in the subway talking with Kim. Then Kim would suddenly asks if the girls behind me hit me with their bags. Um... well they didn't so I said no. She asked me that because one time when we hanged out together, some girl stepped on my foot and I let out a little scream. Kim heard that and asked if the girl hit me. Because I didn't want her to make a big fuss about it... I lied... and said no.. Gah, but it was obviously a lie... Okay fine...that's just... nothing.

I also got use to be protect of that I don't need to protect myself. Maybe... people who hurt me from time to time also protect me so ... there's no need for me to do so.

I watched an episode of 'A Game about Love'. Aha, the girl inside sometimes reminds me of me... just... a little too nicer. The main guy asked her why she lets herself being ordered around and being bullied. She answered that her coworkers aren't asking her to reach for a star but just to do some work. All she has to do is completed her task. She's right. What's the point of getting mad for that. If we don't do it, someone else has to do it... so let's just do it so it's over...and if it isn't us who's bullied then someone else will be. Also, the main guy asked her what would she do if no one would be there to protect her... he didn't give her time to answer but just told her to seek for 'Ke Luo' when she's in need... Ke Luo is the main guy's bestfriend who also has a crush on her.

Argh, man...I have a big headache and I've been writing this entry for 30 min. I must have missed few words here and there.

From all the characteristics Lê said that Kim and I have in common, Kim said that Lê could have as well fell in love for me... (both of us cook and clean... seem like these are a few *must* that Lê wants from a girl) kekeke... and Kim said that Lê also like to cook...although all he can do is instant noodles. Anyways, as long as he's willing to help... haha. No No.... cannot. >.< Okay...just kidding.

They are so cute together... so caring for each other. Um...

My good friend Kim...

We, who are friends for less than year

Prove that time is meaningless...

because as silly as it is... she said, "We are friends forever, right Helen?"


Ah, and I told her... I don't want to be her bridemaid... and she replied by saying since she's nineteen days older than me... then she'll get married twenty days before me. What a silly girl...

ESFJ - The Helper

ESFJs are helpful people who place a high value on harmony. Paying close attention to people's needs and wants, they work well with others to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way. ESFJs follow through on their commitments. They like closure and prefer structured, organized situations in which warmth and compassion are shown. They contribute to others by anticipating their day-to-day concerns and handling them with warmth and efficiency. ESFJs are at their best in organizing people to get a job done.

Living

ESFJ children want life to be uncomplicated, secure, harmonious and structured. They are usually responsible, reliable, and cooperative. They thrive in situations in which there is consistency and personal attention. They enjoy the acceptance of others and will work hard to gain that acceptance. ESFJ children are concerned about doing the right things and pleasing their elders. ESFJs follow the rules and tend to accept them as fair and reasonable. They admire people and teachers who are warm, friendly, and concerned. They are concerned about the feelings of others and like to help out when possible. They begin early to assume responsibility for the welfare of others. They believe it is necessary to give as well as to receive and will often volunteer their time and talents in service organizations. ESFJs radiate warmth and fellowship, and generally fit in well with their classmates. They value the traditional things that teenagers do and may be involved in various clubs and teams. Their friends often turn to them because of their listening ear and helpful nature. Often the lives of ESFJs follow a traditional pattern. In adult life, ESFJs take their parent, spouse, employee, or community volunteer roles seriously and are committed to them. They are sensitive to the needs to those around them, sometimes more attuned to others' needs than their own. They gain the respect of others because of their helpfulness, pleasantness, and ability to get things done. They carry out their commitments and are often in charge of events. Mature ESFJs often structure both their work and personal lives so that they can meet the needs of others.

Learning and Working

ESFJs learn best in structured situations where they know what they can expect. They like to schedule their learning projects so that they can plan ahead to complete their lessons. They become uncomfortable with continuous interruptions and changes when they are trying to finish what they have started. Even more importantly, however, they want to like the person who teaches them. The teacher-student relationship is helpful to them in doing their best. When there is disharmony in the classroom, it interrupts their learning process. When their work is criticised, even constructively, ESFJs may feel demoralized until they get it right and the teacher acknowledges this. Because they tend to personalize the feedback of their teachers, it is important for them to know teachers' expectations so that they can work to meet them. Learning tends to be a personal experience for ESFJs. This attitue, combined with their ability to follow through and meet deadlines, results in a conscientious and effective student. ESFJs often enjoy studies about people and their well-being, and are usually less interested in theoretical and abstract subject matters. They like active learning activities such as field trips, experiments and group projects that get them personally involved with others. At work, ESFJs contribute their ability to cooperate with others and to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way. They respect rules and authority, and handle daily operations efficiently. They tend to be well informed and up-to-date on organizational actions that matter to people. They do what they can to make sure that personal relationships are running smoothly. Because they pay close attention to people's needs and wants, they are often involved in work activities that meet people's practical, day-to-day desires. ESFJs prefer occupations that allow them to provide direct and personal, yet practical, help to others. Occupations that call for organization and goal direction appeal to them. They are especially careful not to waste time or resources; to do so would go against their nature. Some occupations are particularly appealing to ESFJs: childcare worker, dental assistant, elementary school teacher, home economist, nurse, office manager, radiological technologist, receptionist and secretary, religious educator, speech pathologist, and other occupations that allow them to help others and serve their values directly.

Loving

For the ESFJ, love means warmth and commitment. When ESFJs first fall in love, they show this warmth and concern for their partner in many tangible ways. They will send cards, notes, flowers, special gifts, and other mementos of their affection. If the partner casually mentions a desire for a specific thing, they will try to find just that thing. Once committed in a relationship, ESFJs tend to stay with it even when there is inconvenience to them and perhaps longer than may be healthy. They are able to bring out the best in their partners, even though it may mean putting their own needs second. Because ESFJs are caring individuals, they expect to give and receive in their relationships. Because others may not be as thoughtful as the ESFJ, it is a possible source of disappointment to them if they expect the same awareness and caring on the part of the partner. Being practical and realistic, they may not always like effusive shows of affection and prefer moderation instead. ESFJs may be more loyal to the relationship or to the institution of marriage than to the person. ESFJs may take the end of the relationship as a personal failure. ESFJs, when scorned, hurt all over and may need to take time to get over the relationship before pursuing a new one. They may too easily and incorrectly blame themselves for the unfavourable outcome and recall instances when perhaps they were not as giving as they might have been. However, ESFJs' standards for giving in a relationship are likely to be above those of some other types. At their worst when scorned, ESFJs can become spiteful and critical of the partner. Because ESFJs are keenly sensitive to others and are tuned in to emotional needs, they really know how to hurt a person in the rare instances when they choose to do so.

_One of those that I find very accurate_

Don de sang

Que c'était décevant...

J'étais toute joyeuse du fait que j'allais donné du sang ...
et on a attendu pendant 1h30 avant qu'on puisse nous passer...

L'infirmière vient me chercher pour aller passer des petits tests avant de retirer du sang. Elle regarde mon formulaire, j'avais coché 'oui' au point 'avez-vous été en contact avec du sang dans...' Bien oui! Je suis en stage à l'hôpital. Lol, ben non, ce n'était pas de manière directe parce que j'avais des gants...

Elle me demande ensuite sur quel bras on me pique normalement. C'est bien la droite, mais je dois écrire après, alors j'aimerais qu'on me pique sur le bras gauche...cependant, je suis difficile à piquer. L'infirmière me répond qu'il faudrait lui donner une chance avant si je suis difficile à piquer.

Bon, elle me prend la pression artérielle. J'étais 114/60. 60 c'est la limite base d'un PA, quoique ce n'est pas vraiment un problème. Elle me donne le thermomètre que je retire de la bouche après que la machine affiche le résultat et j'allais pousser sur le thermomètre pour qu'il éjecte le protecteur de plastique quand l'infirmière l'a pris... riant de moi comme quoi ça devait être un réflexe...

Oh, auparavant, elle m'a piqué sur le doigt pour prendre mon taux d'hémoglobine... GAH!!!!! Il était trop bas pour donner du sang...mais quelle grosse crotte!!!! 12!!! la valeur était de 12!!! o.O bon... les valeurs sont un peu faible pour les femmes... surtout si on a nos période, mais je n'ai pas mes périodes >.< ! J'avais...? Argh, okay puis peut-être parce que ces jours-ci... un peu manque d'appétit et fatiguée... le sang a de la misère à récupérer. Mais quand même, je mange beaucoup de viande... Gah, avant de partir, elle me dit de manger des aliments riches en fer....et... "Je n'ai pas besoin de te dire lesquels, n'est-ce pas?" " ha ha ha... nah ca va aller... " tssshhh Dire que Kim disait que le médecin lui a dit qu'elle était un peu anémique... ça devait qu'être pour un petit moment. Son transfert de sang s'est passé vraiment vite. Ah oui, elle me serrait tellement le poignet. My god... ça faisait mal. L'infirmière avait déjà fini de piquer puis elle serrait encore. Lê et moi on riait tellement elle. Je la niaisais même...à voir comment ce sera quand elle accouchera. Lê dit qu'il lui amenera un faux bras. Sssshh... Kim se sentait quand même bien après le transfert de sang. Comme tout le monde elle devait rester assise pendant dix minutes au moins. Il restait deux minutes puis elle dit au bénévole qu'elle veut dormir et se sent un peu étourdie, ce qui est tout à fait normal... La bénévole capote puis crie ''de l'aide S.V.P''... et une infirmière arrive. Kim a laissé partir un gros soupir comme quoi ce n'était pas ce qu'elle 'voulait dire'. Bien évidemment, Lê et moi on riait à côté... Ah, et lui qui disait que Kim va pleurer quand elle va se faire piquer et que je vais rire sur ma chaise... >.>' C'est vrai, Kim avait des larmes aux yeux, lol....mais je n'étais pas sur ma chaise!

Je ne pouvais pas donner de sang... Il faut attendre jusqu'en mai!!!!! C'est quoi cette histoire.

Des Trucs qui énervent...

Des trucs qui m'énervent...

- Mes écouteurs sont déjà défectueux à cause du froid... et ce, juste après trois mois d'achats. Bon, alors là... je sors la garantie et ca me dit... "si le produit devient défectueux durant votre vie, nous le remplaceront sans frais..." et un peu plus loin cela dit, " dans des circonstances et peu importe comment le dispositif peut être endommagé, nous remplacerons le produit en vous accordant un escompte de 50% sur le coût au détail."

Okay...de quoi ça disait... si c'est pour me coûter la moitié du prix, alors tant qu'à y être, je préfrère changer de marque. Lol, Monika qui était chez moi, je lui ai demandé qu'est-ce qu'elle en pensait, elle m'a dit de leur envoyer un courriel, sachant que je ne les appelerais pas. Aissh... >.>'

- Mes cheveux... je veux me faire couper les bangs. Ils sont longs... et ce n'est pas très joli avec ma face. Toutefois, je veux laisser les cheveux pousser plus long, mais à cause qu'ils sont dégradés, on dirait qu'il y a plus de 'split ends' qu'il en aurait fallu. Donc, depuis deux ans, je coupe mes cheveux à chaque 4-5 mois... et j'ai l'impression qu'ils ne poussent pas!!! Sniffle... jalouse de celles qui ont les cheveux longs et soyeux.

Um... je voudrais les reteindre en rouge acajou aussi parce que ça commence à être ennuyeux, mais cela a pris du temps pour que le noir naturel revient que cela va être tellement triste de le voir disparaître... Ahh...

- J'ai manqué une journée de stage la semaine passée et il semblerait que ma professeur va nous faire reprendre cette journée, même si ce n'est pas de notre faute, parce qu'on aurait manqué 16 heures de stage en tout. Cela ne me dérange pas tellement...seulement, ce ne serait pas sur le même département et ce serait avec un autre groupe de stage... Se sentir intru, ce n'est pas intéressant.

- Je veux aller à la cabane à sucre, mais c'est tellement difficile de trouver un trajet avec lequel il y a un autobus ou un train qui mène directement là. J'ai déchiré un article dans le journal, mais les dates ne sont pas adéquates..on est occupé.

Bon, pour l'instant, c'est ça.

Why There's This Feeling?

Um... Why human beings can always find their ways to Trouble?
Um... Family, Friends, School, everything's doing well.
But why am I feeling so sad tonight?

Last week, I thought I was having post menstruation syndrome.
I'm not someone who believe in PMS and for me, they are mostly excuses. (Although I have to admit that some women do have PMS)
But basically, they are known as mood swings. Anyways, since two weeks ago, suddenly, I would feel irritated and tonight, I feel sad. But, I'm not PMSing. Well, I don't have my period nor am I going to have them soon.

Thing is... I guess because I was tired and so I got pissed off easier.

But...I haven't done anything much since friday. Had a day off but what have I done of my time?
Sleeping... and
Spending free time watching dramas for a while made me have this melancholic feeling.
Ah, therefore, I should not be tired anymore...just unable to sleep late anymore, precisely, not after eleven o'clock.

Sad huh?

Ah well, that's best for my own health 'cuz I'm still sick and mucus has been dripping from my nose for days now.

Not only that, Dad brought the wrong medicine even though I wrote down on the paper the name and all..

and I would continuously sneeze.

geez! is there someone talking behind my back?!!?!?!?

sniff...

because I feel sad and the best way for me to relieve sadness is to draw...but once I start drawing, it would take up to 4 hours non-stop, at least...

Really, do have so much time on hands? It's already 22:23 here.

Zzzzzz....

Me...A Mom? No-no

Today at the hospital, I was done with my own patient earlier so i went to help out another trainee who has Vietnamese parents.
I spent like fifteen minutes in her patients' room while she was doing something else with our teacher.

The mother, who has a hard time understanding french or English languages, has not spoken much during the day. However, while I was with her, she was eating her dinner or lunch? Anways, so of course we talked in Vietnamese. She said "Chi co chau nao chua?" Asking me if I have any kid yet... ahhh... and here we go again. During the last semester, a grandpa asked if I have any child ... Do I have "I'm a mom" written on my forehead or something? When I told her I was only eighteen (well going nineteen) you just can't imagine her dumbfounded look. Still, she continued to use 'Em' when she talked about herself and addressed me with 'Chi'. Um, it's fine to use 'Chi' as it is a formal speech in Vietnamese for female-female. And it's 'Co' vs. 'Anh' for a formal speech for female-male. Aisshh... what a burden. And today, Chi called me and as we were talking on the phone, she said that her friend was saying that his cousin was about my age.

Me: urgh, but you and I are of the same age.
Chi: yeh yeh I know, wait. I asked him how old he thought you are and he said about 22-23? And I told him that we were in the same classes during high school. Guess what... he was just couldn't believe it. Ah well, I guess I was born to be always four years older than my real age and Chi is always mistaken to be four years younger than her age. Really...

Wonder when that's going to stop.
