im gonna be on the DISCOVERY CHANNEL! WHEEEE!!
oh it's all so terribly exCIting :D
how it went down:
ppl at discovery wanted to do an... intro? on all the sports in the olympics. it's basically a 10 sec spot introducing all the sports. so anyways, i dont know how they got ahold of my coach's # but they did, and asked her if she had anyone that could demonstrate the sport. so she called me and said:
"hello wendy, what are you doing this Wed?"
"umm nothing, why?"
"wanna be on the discovery channel?"
"sure!"

[details here] ...yada yada...
so yaaaaarrrrr...tis exciting :D
shooting this wed for 1.5 hrs (for 10 sec of air time..pfft..go figure).
i duno when it'll actually air, but will update here once i know.
well it has been a long while since ive last updated...but im too lazy to update any of you so...too bad. however, im feeling generous today so i'll give some in point form :P and of course, the rants (which have been lacking as of late) will be delivered in full detail.
-still jobless and getting rather hopeless. will apply to CNE and hope to get hired for the 2 weeks that it's operational
- ARCHERY! is going really well. and as much as ive found it hard to believe, the 3 yrs hiatus that i took hardly made a difference in my form. after building up my muscles again (oh so slowly and painfully) in order to hold the weight, my form is still superbe and my grouping still kicks ass :D now is a matter of moving my grouping to where i actualy want it to go...ie the center. so other than minor inconsistancies which i'll have to work on...everything else is good. whee.
- Canadian championships in two weeks...i just hope im ready for it..will be in the senior division (18 +) so DAMMIT
- need to get in better shape. that is all. rob and kenny(grr..) needs to drag me to gym more often (and vice versa)
-finally finished watching the 2nd season of "24" and have come to the realization that i CANT watch the 3rd season. all the female characters are INFURIATINGLY stupid - except for the evil ones, theyre fine. and they kept bringing in new/random characters into the story: "opps, we've written the story into a corner, hmm what can we do? i know, lets bring in a new character to solve this problem and then he can be killed off afterwards". well ok, so it wasnt EXACTLY like that, but so it seemed. i think mostly, kim just pisses me off; shes useless, and to have her work in CTU 3rd season would just be too painful to watch.
RANTS
since i always find things that piss me off on a (semi) daily basis, i'll just recount the most recent occurances i.e. from 2 hrs ago:
#1
my relatives from the US arrived today and so we all went out to dinner. i drove myself after coming back from practice. so i was driving around trying to find a parking space (cuz its always so busy) and was pretty pleased when i found one close to the restaurant. i began to pull in when i noticed that these ppl from the car next to it was standing where MY parking space was, they were getting ready to leave and saying bye and stuff to their family/friends. usually this only takes a few minutes, even less if ppl know that youre waiting for the empty space beside them. NO, not THESE jerks:
-"oh bye!"
-" see you later"
-" oh why dont you come get some stuff from my car?"
-"no its on the other side"
- why dont i just take my SWEET time getting into the driver's seat cuz its not like anyone is WAITING for me to drive away
- i think i'll just stand in this empty parking space cuz that car thats starting to pull in couldnt POSSIBLY be pulling into THIS space where i HAPPEN to be standing
-"why dont we meet tmr for dim sum? ok? want to set a time now?"
fucking assholes. i was SOOO close to honking at them when they finally got the point (me glaring at them) and started moving. so i pulled into the spot, got out, glared at them some more, and walked to the restaurant.
#2
upon reaching the doors to the restaurant, still fuming from the incident above, i see this guy standing on the inside of the doors. the doors are frosted so i couldnt see what he looked like, but i thought he seemed kinda old so i was like "well ok, i'll be nice and open the door for him".
WHAT A MISTAKE
not only was the guy NOT old, he was in his late 30s, talking on his cell, and walked thru the doors as if it was my duty to open it for him. forget "thank you", he didnt even throw a glance in my direction before walking off. so even more pissed off than before, i sat down to dinner looking like i was about to kill someone.
this will be the LAST time i EVER open a door for any chinese ppl and i dont even care if they have to use a walking stick(actually these ppl are even worse, almost with a condescending look as they walk thru the door and might as well toss in "thats right girlie, im old and you had better respect me. keep that door open for the rest of my family too"). for sobbing out loud ppl! have you ANY manners at all?? i actually dont mind doing things for (these) people, but they could at least acknowledge the fact that i did something: a nod, a smile, and realize that i could have very well slammed the door in their face, yelled "aha sucka", and walked away that way.
well anyways, so thats that. i think this post is long enough so i'll stop here and hopefully, occasion will strike me to blog again in the near future.
