I am Sof.

Alack, lack of update induced by lack of life.

Seriously, I feel like I have no friends when school’s out. Everyone is busy with something and no one is free to go out with me. This is called no-school period, not summer vacation. I’m planning to get a few more private students - to come to my place for lessons that is - as a source for more $$ because I’m just that pathetically lazy to go out and enjoy the sun and enjoy taking the TTC to places and work (hmph).

Aside from that, though, today has been the most productive day. I called my piano teacher earlier this week to schedule for a piano lesson tonight, not only because I’m bored at home, also because I just miss my teacher and my lesson thaaat much. I haven’t seen her for 2 whole months now speaking of it.

Dad had been bugging me yesterday to go to U of T to get them sign my educational fund paper, so I was forced to go to downtown by my parents which is really rare. This morning, got up at 9:44, got my stuff together and went out the door. Went to U of T Faculty of Music, got them signed my paper, and also pre-activated my student card so I can go straight to use their practice facility after Sep. 1st. Then, came out from the back door, walked Philosopher’s Walk, passed the music library and then, I hit College St. by going through U of T’s campus. It was really breathtakingly beautiful. I concluded that whenever I’m not feeling happy during my four years at U of T I’d 1/take a looong walk in the campus 2/go to AGO and sit in front of Monet’s painting (I just received my membership card yesterday, and apparently they also give me a 20% discount on TSO tickets aside from several restaurant discounts and National Ballet ticket discounts. Hooray.)

I went to Kensington, got the argyle belt I’ve wanted to buy for a long time, a patch for my UB pants; then to Chinatown, got a new plastic cover thingy for my cell phone and made some other frivolous purchase. I must say, Chinatown is the loudest and probably the smellist place in the whole downtown area. Not that this has anything to do with my trip but for reasons I find myself unable to relate to most Chinese communities - no I’m not trying to be white-washed, and I think not being able to relate to them is rather sad, but I just… feel that I can’t bring myself up to their standard of moral values, worldview, etc.. and considering I’ve only been here less than five years… I must choose one to side with.

Bought iced-cap and this kind of Vietnamese bread which tastes really good, checked out a store for wireless routers and headed home. Walking alone in downtown is the freest meditation for my soul. Forget what other people think about you or any other crap, if they infringe your uniqueness, tell them: screw you.

In hope to help other helpless souls out there who are bored at home, here’re some of the things I’m planning to attend:
-Beaches Jazz Festival
-Kensington Pedestrian Sunday
-Toronto Street Festival

Enjoy yourselves also.
