Plugging Prismatic!!!!!

. . . My May 2008 trip to Tokyo website. Yes. Here’s a project I started in June 2008. Took me about seven months. How you like them apples? XD

. . . Yes, I’m such a procrastinator, and I get easily distracted by other stuff, apparently.

. . . But it’s finally up! Enjoy!

My birthday flowers from Daddy!

I bought this gorgeous mug from Starbucks ($8.50?! This is when brand name SUCKS), and despite its high price, I like it. I’ve been looking and waiting for a pretty mug like this. It has snowflakes, it’s a perfect shade of blue, and it’s not heavy. So yes, it’s the perfect mug!

/END DEMENTIA

Sort of. It’s been rather snowy this weekend, which I don’t mind. I think it stopped snowing for the time being, but who knows. Regardless, I hope everyone have a fantastic Lunar New Year!

And since I am enjoying the snow, here are fifteen pictures showcasing the snow we had last week. Yeah, yeah, it’s not the most recent snow, but snow is snow. Here are the snow around my apartment area, which luckily takes a while to melt compared to the one out in the main streets!

BTW, don’t ask me what that second to the last picture is of. It’s some . . . straw structure that’s being used as some kind of lawn ornament in some areas apparently.

It’s that time of the year, folks. It’s time to whip out that calculator, print out the 1040EZ form, find all my W-2s, figure out my taxable interest, and buckle down to do some serious arithmetic.

Oh and add the following expletives and other flowery language to that ordeal. !@#$!@#$!@#$

That’s how I feel about these stupid tax thing. It’s quite TAXING (puns intended) to do this every January. At least I’ll get a huge sum back this year as a refund. That’s always nice. Although, the first time I tried to do this, I grew confused and somehow came to the conclusion that I owe a huge amount. Don’t ask. My brain is incapable of understanding economic.

Bah. At least it’s done. Took me less time to do it this time. I guess it grows easier every year? Yeah, right. Wait until I have other smashing payments to complicate my simple process. Now I just have to wait several weeks for the handsome sum to appear in my bank account. WHOO HOO.

I turned a year older today.

. . . Now I am slowly starting to realise why older folks do not enjoy celebrating their birthdays. It’s not cool turning another year older. If there was an age I wish I could stay at forever, it would be 21. That was like the best age for me. Now that I am beyond that particular age, I am not exactly happy. But then again, dwelling on a number won’t get me anywhere in life either. I may as well just suck it up and live with it.

At least I know I have people around who care about me. My dad gave me twelve $5 bills and called it lunch money for the week, a gorgeous thing of flowers, and of course moola to help pay for Provo. My mum cooked an awesome meal for me. One cousin bought over cake and another bought me a pizza he made himself from Mr. Pizza. One friend helped me with the computer. One friend bought me dinner at an Indian restaurant. One friend kept me company yesterday. A whole bunch of people on Twitter, Facebook, and etcetera wished me “happy birthday”. I’m thankful to have family and friends in my life to do all this for me.

Time to end this entry, though, before it gets ridiculously sappy to the point where Care Bears will come appearing out of nowhere and say, “WE CARE”. I’m all for Care Bears, but some things are not meant to go overboard with to the point I make myself shudder from the sickeningly sweet images.
