Hello Fido

So a few days ago, I hung out with my brother, Ivan, after his work and before my work. Confused? No? Good. Went to Eaton Centre. We just talked, catch up, went to Canadian Tire since my brother wanted to get a handheld vacuum. We met an a-hole employee who was very good at being a complete D-bag. Long story short, he was unhelpful and seem to really hate his job and life for that matter. Anyways, we didn't buy a vacuum. Price wasn't right.

We went to Fido and checked out if they have a good deal or better plan than what I currently have. Since I had gotten the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE smartphone, my old Blackberry plan which had 500MB wasn't cutting it anymore. It was an OK plan from years ago, but a Fido rep, Daniel, offered me a plan with plenty of unlimited and 2GB of data for slightly cheaper price than my current Rogers bill. I wanted it. Best of all there was no contract!!! I called Rogers to tell them I was switching to Fido even if I have a year of contract left with them. They offered me a similar plan but with ***6 GB*** of data. I was like... YEAH! GIMME THAT! Then just before he was about to sign me up, the Rogers rep (Harj) said that it's on a 3 year contract. I'm like, "Oh thanks for telling me. I don't want it. Next time say it earlier." *hung up* So I decided to leave Rogers/Robbers for Fido. Unfortunately my phone wasn't unlocked and I was running out of time. Work soon and I was hungry. I wasn't able to switch that night.

Anyways, time for food. First time I've been in the new food court at Eaton Centre, which they call Urban Eatery, if I recall correctly. It was huge. And the men's washroom was very neat. By neat, I mean fancy. We both ate some A&W Uncle burgers since it was the deal. Afterwards, we took the train home and part ways. I went straight to work.

After I get home from work, I was really determined to switch to Fido. I did some research on what site provides a legitimate unlocking service for a fair price. I have decided on www.cellunlock.net and was very happy. $16.99 for a hassle free phone unlocking. There's others that has cheaper pricing but with a bit more research reveals they are very unreliable. And may even be a scam. So I ordered a code, and slept. Woke up and my unlock code was sent in my email.

This was the day me and my roommate, Maira, was gonna see the movie, "Secret world of Arrietty." After the movie we just walked around a bit at Eaton Centre and I took the opportunity to go to Fido since my unlock code was with me and I really wanted the plan offered to me. So, the Fido rep gave me a new SIM card and I unlocked my phone. Switched to Fido! Lots of data, no contract, plenty of unlimiteds that I don't feel like listing. It was just a way better plan than Rogers could ever offer. Good riddance Rogers. I would've stayed with you guys if you didn't plan to put me in another contract with your desperate offered plan.

I am a happy person in terms of my phone plan. ^_^

Most fun day off

Sunday. Normally a tiring and very depressing and boring and all things sadness day. Which also happens to be my only day off. Sometimes, I just wanted to kick myself. Or bang my head on the wall. But that last part is an over exaggeration. Note that it has gone a LOT better now. Perhaps a story for another blog post?

After church, which had a pretty complicated message, just went home after stopping by to pick up some stuff from groceries. My roommate, Maira, had already planned out Sunday and was bringing her boyfriend, Gary, to our place and play some board and/or card games, as well as for me to meet get to know him. Good guy, nice guy, great guy. That's coming from a straight dude, so that's saying something. First we played some Uno card game. Me and Maira never played it but Gary explained. We played for points; three sets of games. Gary won three times, I came in second three times and Maira lost all three sets, lol. Had a lot of fun and laughs.

Next we played Monopoly board game. Fun, giggles, disappointments, laughs, cackles, shocks, screams, disbelief, (insert more). That's basically what happened. In short, Maira obliterated us since she got both the blue properties, Park Place and Boardwalk. And me and Gary were lucky enough to land on them. Good game.

Overall, the fun and games lasted about 7 hours straight. Haven't had that much fun on my day off in a long time. Except for that 2011 Christmas Day. Even if I didn't get any sleep, it was fun. Other than those 2 days, my day offs are extremely tiring and bland and boring and lifeless. Again, it's getting better since my work shift adjustment on Saturday nights.

Thanks, Maira, for a great time and for planning that day. *thumbs up* Even though, me having fun wasn't really the main focus of that "event". Really had a great time. Thanks to Gary for sticking to his word and coming over this time (he failed to, last time,) bringing the entertainment and for being a great guy (no homo).

Secret World of Arrietty

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp2nb9Vq0yY

Saw this! Great movie. Loved it! ヾ(´□`* )ノ Great visuals. I liked the story. There are some slow parts, mainly in the beginning. Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki have never ever disappointed me. I doubt they ever will.

My only tiny rant is... it felt short! Wanted more... (´・_・`)

Ah well!

Busy busy busy

Busy? Or procrastinating? NO! Definitely busy. Although, I have to admit, there is a teeny-bit of procrastination inserted somewhere.

Anyways. I'm trying to be more of an active blogger but it's so hard to-- to what? It's not hard! It's easy. You just do it. So what's keeping me from doing it? Darn! Lazy... But I'm not lazy... just that, it's not that important so I kind of just shrug it off.

Today, I got up and grabbed my flashlight and pointed it under my bed because I've been paranoid these past week. One day, I got home and noticed something. Giant red ants with wings! On some parts of my baseboards near my bed. Nasty! I vacuumed them up. Since then, I always look under my bed and the places where I found them. So back to the present. Again, I got up and grabbed my flashlight and looked around. Nothing. Normal. Played with my phone for a few minutes and sat on my bed. FEW MINUTES! I got up again and there's like 20 of them buggers next to my bed!!! I'm convinced there's a hole in there and their nest is just nearby. CREEPY!

Grabbed the vacuum and got rid of them pests. Was afraid they'll start multiplying inside the vacuum bag. I left for the grocery store and bought some baby powder. Apparently, they don't like baby powder/talc and suffocates them. Did some research. Vacuumed some baby powder for the ants in there. Then I sprinkled some on the spot where I believe is the entry point. So my room now smells like baby powder.

So that's my rant. I hope I never ever see them in my room again. Ugh!

Yup...

Seriously. I have NOT forgotten about my blog. I visit it everyday because it's my homepage when I turn on my laptop or desktop. But I never know what to write. Actually, there's too much to write except I get hit by the lazy spirit and everything go wah wah.

Sigh.
