It’s funny how little things in life can cause subtle changes to one’s attitude about certain things.

I recently bought a walking umbrella because I have never owned one before; I usually carry folding umbrellas because they’re easier to take around. This new Fulton umbrella is nothing fancy. Though they are known to be good quality and durable, I got this particular one because it’s black with very thin fuchsia stripes. If you haven’t yet noticed, those are my colours. I also love how smoothly it opens with the push of a button and is big enough for my tiny frame to hide under it.

So ever since I bought the umbrella, I’ve been eagerly awaiting rainy days just so I can put my umbrella to use. I never used to feel this way about the rain, probably because my flimsy folding umbrella never really did the job. But now with my new umbrella, I feel like I’m well prepared and I even look forward to those rainy days.

Perhaps the only thing that I’m looking forward to more than the rain is a day off. I don’t seem to have enough of those these days. I was off Friday and ended up spending the entire day shopping in Buffalo. Danny and I bought basic things like DVDs, drinks, and shower gels. (And fresh fruits, can’t forget about them fruits LOL) Not much to buy over there right now. Nonetheless, it was a nice getaway for the day. I was probably more excited about coming home though lol

I’m happy to have caught up with Edison on Saturday night. It had been almost 5 months since I last saw him. We went to Asian Legend for dinner and, like always, we ordered too much food :P Nonetheless, it was nice having dinner with the bro.

I’ve spent the last three days working at the store downtown. The only exciting thing that happened today was the filming that was going on in the hotel. I learned that they were filming for the CBC tv series, The Border. It was interesting watching them film :)

Think I’m going to call it a night and go rest in bed with some music. I’ve been hit by the flu or something; my nose has been running uncontrollably for the past 24 hours and it’s making it very difficult to breathe. (Boy, do I wish I had a box of Puffs here right now!) I’ll leave you with a few light tunes that I’m currently listening to. I’m really feeling them these days. (If you have an IMEEM account, log in so you can hear the full length of the songs.)

Goodnight!
