I'm currently in Vancouver, studying Asian Studies at KPU (Kwantlen Polytechnic University). Nah, its not that great of a University, but doing 2 years of a degree there and transferring to a better University is a lot better then paying 4 years tuition @ UBC.
A lot of people ask me, what can you do with a degree in Asian Studies, or what are your plans after you graduate? And honestly, I have no idea. I'm just studying Asian studies because its always been something that i've been interested in and I want to know more about asia and its languages.
In the dating area.. lets see. lol. I've been dating a taiwanese guy that's been living here the past 4 years and we've been together for almost 2 months now. It's may sound say now because it's only been 2 months, but we've been really good friends before that, and I can honestly say, I will be regretting this if it doesn't work out later on, but i can see myself being with him for a long time. I've had some pretty shitty luck dating people in the past who have either been complete assholes, have had no motivation in life, or are just plain lazy.
This time around it happened to be with my best friend. And yeah, he actually was my best friend. I don't know how i got by without him before we met. The situation was a little complicated, he wasn't single and i was, but things always have a way of working out. But that being in the past, the present is pretty good. We've both pretty much given up our old ways, we used to club so much, now we stay at home watching movies on a saturday night not even knowing that it's saturday and most people are out drinking and clubbing.
I guess when you finally find someone, these things don't become as important. You don't have the world to impress, you just have one person, and they are already yours, so why would you care about what anyone else thinks. I love him. I really do. No ones perfect, we all come with our highs and lows, our top's and bottoms ( lol), and we all come with a little baggage. No one is completely bag less anymore, everyone travels with some. But these are the things that make a relationship interesting.
While we could define a relationship as "The condition or fact of being related; connection or association."
Or love as "a tender passionate affection for someone else", can we really describe these emotions in a single sentence, or clause? No. Love is not always like the movies. Love is when two people "LOVE" each other enough to work our their problems, sometimes argue their problems, and try to accept each other for who they are.
Next up, smoking. I've been smoke free for about 9 days now. The first couples days completely sucked. I know they say you will get a max of 3 cravings? Please, i swear i had about 45 in the first couple days. The main reason I'm quitting is because my boyfriend told me if i didn't he would break up with me, and its not like he's asking me to do something impossible, its a good choice, and i should quit smoking anyways. After all if your dating a smoker then your technically dating someone that will die before you.
I've also moved from Surrey to Burnaby, but I'm still attending school in Surrey for now. So takes a long time to communicate. 2 sky trains and 2 buses, and the trains here aren't as near as efficient in tokyo. I miss tokyo a lot. I will def go back to asia after i graduate.
And having a taiwanese boyfriend made me want to study the language. It's a culture that i really haven't had that much of an interest in initially, but , dating him makes me want to know more about it. Not that I'll forget japanese.
I took a placement test and placed 3rd year japanese and will be taking my courses in Richmond, from january. Actually the richmond campus is a little closer and def a lot nicer.
So that's all I'll talk about for right now,
hope everyone's doing good :)
