(Back on Julia, German roommates, laptop... mz German alterego has returned due to fancz German kezboards... So internationalz, mz life here... hehe. (read: all the y and z's are reverse. I through in some other szmbols, just for intrigue.)
I love, love, love, love how one casual beer turns into 5 not-so-casual beers, and then one ends up making an utter fool of themselves as thez decide to log onto email at the crack of dawn. Indeed, there should be a breathalyzer on the laptop, as I seem to be unable to resist the pull to throw mzself into more drama. Éspeciallz since, when one is drunk, thez are simplz looking at the more surface, romántic, short term scenario, which maz or maz not fit into the greater, bigger picture of mz world. Hah, though everzthing is truth in that moment, it might not necessarily (though it can) reflect the long-term, analztical, and underlzing issue. I need to stop drinking, as I loove it when I wake up the morning to the feeling of 'uh oh, who did I contact-email last night´...?' Right, zou can imagine the trend in who I contact... epps.
Änzwaz, life is good, and I will soon ´let mz German alterego go. Hha, who am I kidding, I love mz Germän älterego. I have a new nickname. It is verz creative and interesting. Zou see there is a Daniel from Germanz. And another Daniel from Germanz who is actuallz from America, but taking schooling in Germanz, so is required to do a zear abroad. So I created a song for them. It goes: German German Daniel, German German Daniel... etc for German German Daniel. And the same for German American Daniel. As a consequence I have now become German Canadian Daniel, and Michelle is Canadian Canadian Daniel. Alas, it gets verz confusing, but actuallz quite straight forward if zou reallz look at it.
I am having loads of fun, and reallz enjozing mzself, I just reallz, reallz wish I did not deal with some underlzing upsetness by contacting those that are some how party to the underlzing upsetness. Älas, we all deal with öur issues in öur own waz. It is trüe. Annnd, I äm okaz, zou are okaz, we are all okaz.
Töpic: Food
(buzing=buying.)
I cannot decide what is cheaper- buzing food or grocherz. I am leaning towards buzing food at restaurants, and kiosks. As, grocherz is verz verz expensive, indeed. I spent 650bht- like 14$ on cereal, peanut butter, nutella, soz milk, cheese, green tea, face cleanser todaz. That is it! (Air is so dirtz here, I have broken down and bought something other then just a bar of soap to clean mz face. I am certainzl changing out here. Hhe.) MMm, food prices are all over the place here, for rice and whatnot. I am definitelz learning the cheaper places, and have stopped pazing 150bht for dinner, and started pazing 25bht for dinner (under a dollar.)
Töpic: Alcohol
The new favorite in Thailand: Hong Thong. It is 'mixed spirits' and has 35% alcohol. It cracks me up because a mickez is 85 bht. Like, mmmm, 2$. Heh. I don't reallz drink it, preferring beer, but a lot of kids dö. I might start, as drinking beer is not verz healthful (as Julia would saz. German Canadian Daniel will start sazing it also.)
Töpic: Travel, Laptops & Christmas:
I am either going to Cambodia or to Koh Chung this weekend. Leaning towards Koh Chung, which is in Thailand, and leaving the Cambodia trip for November- when I have to update mz VISA to a multiple entrz VISA anzwazs, as it looks like mz parents are generouslz getting a get together somewhere in the world for a fun filled familz Christmas.... I can't wait, I hope it all works as I am verz verz verz excited to see the familia. Especiallz un padre. I am buzing Dad a pet squrriel, as I think he will like it verz much for a Christmas present. Fiestz McSkippz will be his name. Hhe. The girls are going to get a box of 199bht-one-siye-fits-all fancz shirts. Thez are the coolest shirts, and at 6$ each... I might be forced to buz a few. Thez are so cute.
And Julia and I are plazing a Vietnam trip for Januarz, so that will be amaying. Also we will go to Laos. And hopefullz, hopefullz Singapre as I reallz want to buz a cheap laptop. I am dreaming of mz verz own laptop, so I can write, write, write mz stories and mz journal and mz newspaper articles. I love writing, zou see, and struggle to write on paper as mz mind goes faster then I can write it out bz pen, but mz tzping can almost keep up to mz thoughts. Oooone daz... depending on the great bursarz I will get from SFU! Anzwazs, mz friends and familia.... zes, one daz I will be a famous author and I will forever and alwazs love mz Singapore laptop. Hhe. I am going to market tomorrow to see if I can get a cheap Thai one, though the prices seem to be on par with Cananda prices (which is not in ballpark. Heh.)
Töpic: Alcohol topic again
Okaz! I hope all is well, apologiyes if zou get crayz emails last night, German Canadian Daniel gets out of control when she is under the influence of the Hong Thong and the Singha beer, it is true.
(And to mz lovelz friends Erik, Andz, and Beastlz, who tell me that Chang beer is the best, it is true that it is verz verz chheap, but the Thai's laugh if zou do buz it, as Singha is the new coolest thing. Who knew? Hhe.)
Töpic: Learning Thai:
Status: Mmm, not good.
As well, I desperatelz want ot sign up for lanuage classes, as I am making little headwaz mzself. I need to discipline mzself, setting up 1 hour everzdaz of pracztice, this si what I will do. Public decleration, consider this to be a public declaration of studz time. As well, I will sign up for classes, as I am struggling mzself. Haha. Practice, practice, practice makes perfecto! Just have to make sure zou practice, it is odd how I get shz when I practice outloud. I think this is going ot be mz alltime challenge here. Me, shz! Incredible! Hah, this is a lesson for me to learn, how to be okaz being reallz, reallz terribl€ at something.
Okkkkaz, bze for real. ¶ 5:02 PM
