bluesfest anyone?

So I have never really been that interested or aware of some of Ottawa's festivities (you would think I would be after 6 years here)... until now.  So Bluesfest will be back this July, and I must say, the lineup of acts looks pretty fantastic.  Among some of the eye-catching performers are: Down With Webster (love times a billion), Steve Winwood (don't bother asking fatima, she hates people from the 80s), Matthew Good, Santana!!!, Rush, Weezer, Drake, Crowded House................................
the list just goes on and on, I cannot wait. (!!!!)

July 6-18th, BE THERE!! <3

NO HW!!!!!!

YES! A day off!!! and you know what that means... I hit the sewing machine :P had some fun and learned how to draft more dress patterns. Thx Grandma :) I'm currently working on a teal blue one shoulder dress...there may be a slim chance it'll be ready for semi, but I probably will still end up wearing my leopard mini skirt just because i've never worn the skirt and I look FABULOUS in it!!! and haven't been given an oppurtunity to wear it ..till now
and now I'm bored and i've been surfing net-a-porter (I have this love hate relationsip with it. I love just about everything on the site... yet I hate it cuz I can't afford what I want.)
here are the latest things I would like to acquire if I were to be say... Bill Gates (I don't mean the male part... just the money ;])

Cheerio,

parenting fail.

So i was working yesterday, and it was about 4:30 p.m., when this woman walks in with 2 young boys.  I hear my co-worker ask "would you like some hot chocolate with that?"  Why the frig would you need hot chocolate if you already ordered your stuff?  Well, I got my answer when he comes back with two cups filled with whipped cream.  Yes, JUST whipped cream.  So I just make up an amount to charge them and they walk off with their lovely creams.  Rory just looks at me and shakes his head, while i burst out laughing for the next ten minutes.

So, um, apparently whipped cream is the new broccoli?  Good job, mom.

Fatima

Pizza guy say what?!

So here is the break down of the worst experience with pizza pizza...

-we call Pizza Pizza and this Mexican lady who knows little English answers
-an hour later she finally understands that I am not in Bangladesh and the ordering is done
-we wait...
-char's cell says one missed call, we call and the line disconnects
-we wait 20 minutes more
-we call the unknown number again. Turns out it's Ali the pizza guy. Ali couldn't get through on Charlotte's phone so he left and went back to the store... WITH OUR PIZZA!
-he then proceeds to tell us this is a private line, do not call again and hangs up.
-we call again asking, very politely what the pizza situation is
-he then says "DIS IS A PRIVUT NUMBAH DON CALL AGAIN F*** YOU!"
-I'm staring at the phone and we call our friend Ali back :)
-I bitch, scream and apologize to him for making his minimum wage job so hard!  I mean he obviously doesn't have legs or arms to walk to the door and see the people waiting for him.  Wait, that doesn't work because then why the f*** is he a delivery person!!!!!!
-he hangs up after calling me a dumb bitch and other colourful words he probably learned after dropping out of the sixth grade!
-we leave a complaint with pizza pizza telling them to shove the pizza up where the sun don't shine :D
-we order from milano's. 20 minutes later it's there and we are eating it.

from 4:40 p.m.-6:10 p.m.

*poof*

Fatima

10 more weeks left

10... ten... dix... the big One O... however you want to say it, there's only 10 more weeks of high school left!
To be honest, I'm kinda relieved knowing that I'll never have to sit through class again and say: "why?" cuz all classes I'll be taking in Uni will be well worth it (hopefully *cross my fingers*).
6 weeks till prom :) woot!!! uber excited for that wonderful night coming up, but I think I'll look a little close at the dance coming up... basically... I should just make a calendar right?
k, well, here it goes:

April 15 & 16 - HSM Jr. (tickets sold at the door)
April 29 - Masquarade semi formal @ Crown Plaza
May 6 & 7 - WONDERLAND!!!
May 14 - Grad Retreat/Ultimate Tournament
May 21 - Ultimate Tornament
May 28 - Prom/last day to confirm offers for university
June 17 - last day of classes (I think...)
June 24 - Grad

THIS will definitly just fly by!!!! and before long, we'll be throwing our own hats in the air yelling:
SEE YA IN 20 YEARS!!!

♫Charz

Have you got the Fever????

GO SENS GO!!!
Game one: playoffs
when: 7pm...aka right now!!
bring on the Sens Fever, let me hear the red and black ROAR!!!!!

♫Charz

must... focus...

I really believe that teachers get bored and just give as many assignments and projects as possible.  Like they are going out of style.  Oh wait, they did about a BAJILLION YEARS AGO.

I thought char and fatima might enjoy this.

Hey all !
I'm super excited to see the final thing of our school's Gr. 7&8 musical

Fatima and I have been doing Set, Hair and Make up and now Costumes, i just spent 8 hours there, and fatima's still going strong.
Make sure you go see it :)

♫Bop Bop Bop♪ on over to see it.

dick move.

As if ditching your wife and mother of eight for some girl half your age was not bad enough, Jon Gosselin just couldn't let things be.  The 40-something douchebag is asking for sole custody of their sextuplets and twins, and also for his child support obligations to be "reviewed".  Apparently because Kate has been on this season's Dancing With The Stars, she is neglecting her children and is a bad role model.  I don't know, but the fact that you ditched your family for a girl barely 5 years older than me was probably not the best decision either.  If any judge agrees to Jon's demands, they might want to have their head checked.

the family in happier times...

xoxo, melissa

a nap sounded like a good idea...

So I was determined to get my homework done at a decent time when I came home from school today, except that shortly after I got home, I decided to close my eyes for a minute.  Next thing you know, it's 7:30 and I have done absolutely nothing.  And vampire diaries was coming on so I did part of my crap up until 20 minutes ago and now I can't sleep cause I'm not tired yet.

booooooooo. *sigh*

THUNDER!!!!

procrasinating as always... and i see lightning and THUNDER!!!! =)
I love watching thunder storms, dunno why, its just cool.

anyways:
i didn't "die" on the calc test, i actually survived pretty well, especially on KU (16.5 out of 18!!! Ah BooYah!!)
and for the first part of chem....pretty good
as for tomorrow's application/communication/tips... not so stoked

Wish me luck :)

♫Charz

bored as a bored thing on bored tablets.

Took that from one of the funniest books ever, fyi.  So yeah, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm bored with a touch of boredom.  Char is off studying her brains out for the chem midterm tomorrow, and fatima is just MIA at le moment.  So i guess i have no choice but to... *gasp* go to bed.  I am not being inspired by any topic right now so yeah.

xoxo, melissa

P.S. remember that mananswers post that fatima did a bajillion years ago?  well the index finger/ring finger rule also applies to the fact that if a woman's ring finger is longer than her index finger, its a good indicator for her doubling the risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knees later on in life. 

oh shit, mine are kind of the same length...?

ACCEPTANCE!!!!!!

I would just like to point out that:

Fatima got accepted in to U of T for Neuroscience
and
I got accepted into Ryerson U for Architectural Studies =)

good day for acceptance packages =P

on the bad side of things..that means this awesome trio will most likely be split up next year..... *tears, sniffles... crying... puffy eyes...*

melly bear and fatimoo... come back :(

♫Charz

upset stomach...?

My stomach hurts and I need a peptobismol. Found some. Hurray!

*poof*

fatima

it must be the hair...

So, as I mentioned yesterday, charlotte and fatima took on the courageous role of straightening my hair, and crazily enough that night, a pretty hot guy (at least 25 years old) came in while I was working.  Now I had recognized him as a regular, but he had never struck up a conversation with me before...

This is the jist of what went down...

Him: do u do drugs?

Me: um... no, but i sometimes drink

Him: well u wanna get in my pants?

Me: not particularly

Him: will u let ME into ur pants

Me: no

Him: well... here's my #, in case u change ur mind

Me: WTF? okay...

Coworker: it was the hair

Me: well hot damn

There you have it folks, can I get a drum roll please?
...thank you char and fatima! :)

xoxo, melissa

please note: special thanks to charlotte for finding the divine inspiration for this adapted conversation amidst religion suffocation.

Shopping & Prom: Part 2

Now that I've got a dress i still need:
• Shoes
• Strapelss bra
• Accessories
• Hair
• Makeup
• Nails
• Alterations

Well: the first two bullets have been completed :) I tired on so many shoes and bras...i swear, you never thought you'd hear me complain about shopping?! well... today was that day! I just had enough after the 30th shoe!! I was like NO MOREEEEEEE!!!!!! But it paid off, I found shoes, and a bra...now all I need is double sided tape.... and everything else on the list.........

here are pictures of the shoes:
4.5" high
Neutal coloured (very in this season)

and look better on than in pictures :)

♫Charz

the many thrills of shopping :)

Okay, so operation m has officially taken shape, in the form of me spending my guts out.  Close to about $230 to be exact.  Let me just say, I never thought I could expand my wardrobe tags outside of Garage and Aeropostale, but Smart Set and Dynamite are some of my newly-acquired friends.  I have rediscovered my love of clothes, and I am really happy with my purchases.  And even happier with my BFFs for pushing this positive change on me. <3

Everything I bought today...

shorts did not want to turn the right way for some reason...

and tomorrow, I am going back for a red blazer, white blouse, and my AFTER PROM DRESS!!! <3

xoxo, melissa

8 ways to turn you on...

WARNING: guys should vacate the premises immediately to avoid awkwardness in the near future...

Okay, so in honour of springtime and the beautiful weather we have been having, I decided to make a tribute collage-ish thing of all the hottest guy celebs in my books. :)  What better way to wake up in the morning than by looking at these perfect men?

holy crap, i think i just died inside.

xoxo, melissa

operation double m.

That is: melissa's makeover.  so i just happened to run into these 2 fabby stylist type people, oh and they also happen to be my besties.  as of yesterday, it has been permanently decided that i need a wardrobe makeover... among other things.

So to help me get on the right track with my look, char decided she would fulfill her long-time desire to straighten my hair.  let's just say I had a blast sitting there for half an hour, meanwhile char and fatima were dead to the world and discovered a new cardio workout.  I warned her.  :)

Then they did my makeup, followed by an hour of power shopping at college square, where i found 3 pieces of clothing that i am going back to get tomorrow.  And hopefully many more things.

xoxo, melissa

TOOOO MUCH STUDYING!!!!!!

O.o

♫CHarz

Why yesterday was the best-day EVER!

So I got to miss school for a badminton tournament only to get fisted by the racket by crazy asians! Yeah we got that owned up! So after that we had an AMAZING baby shower for my fave teacher Ms. Marin! Her reaction was priceless and the food was great. The festivities didn't stop there when I decided to inhale some helium! The laughs were never ending! Me and mel then went to kanata centrum where I bought an explosion of headbands for $10 ! We then watched the movie The Crazies which literally made me want to vomit with all the suspense. Best part of the movie was when the guy was able to stab the crazy lady WITH THE KNIFE LODGED IN HIS HAND! Soooooooooooo sick! Like he pulled up the knife which was stuck in the floor with his hand when the knife was still in it! So it was 10:00 and I thought my parents would be mad about me being out late and taking the bus at night but my mom was already asleep and my dad gave me a leftover brownie from his work.

BEST DAY EVER? I think so :)

*poof*

Fatima

Fatima + Helium = BFFS/disaster waiting to happen?

So as Char was saying, Fatima had a little TOO MUCH fun with the baby shower balloons (which we were saying were for me, a little April Fools joke never hurt anyone...). Anyway, when i came back into the home ec room from feeding the savage beasts (aka band guys), I caught a glimpse of Fatima sucking in helium and omg, the result was ridiculously hilarious. At one point she sounded exactly like Fred, not to mention she had Ms. Marin and Ms. Goslin almost on the floor laughing. Mr. Moise preferred to stand off to the side just looking on in confusion... And as if the one-time Fred impression was not enough, we (Char, Fatima and me) went to show our biology teacher Fatima's newly-acquired talent. And then some unfortunate souls in the front of the school that were waiting for their parents. All in all, a very entertaining evening, followed by some gorey scenes in a movie theatre...

xoxo, melissa

100th!!!!!

Hey Guys, and Gals =D
I'd like to point out that THIS is our 100th post on the blog.
Thank you to all of you who continually read it and share a laugh with us over blogging.
Keep on reading and comment if you get a chance =) thanks for all the feedback!

Baby Shower!!!

TOTAL SUCCESS!! (this baby picture scares me)

Most of you probably have NO idea what i'm talking about, but Mrs. Marin is curretnly preggo and leaving next week so we (Fatima, Melissa, Tammy, Julia and I) threw the bestest ever shower on short notice!!!

Mr. Moise was kind enough to join us when he came looking for his wife (who was at the part-ay!) and ate our food, but washed all our dishes =) (take notes boys, this is a good example)

We had MOUNTAINS of food to feed, something like, what, 7 people?

SO bad idea to bring a slice of cake into the band room during a band practice, and realize that Mr. Thomas isn't there.....band kids are WOLVES!!!
Scary! They followed us all the way back to the Home Ec room just to have a nibble of ice cream cake. (who wouldn't? I would)

We ended up having a left over platter of veggies and crackers and cheese,
Took it to the band room
Came back less then ten minutes later
ALL GONE!!!! O.o

Scary kids.....

After we cleaned up, we were left with some helium balloons....
Fatima...well you could probably guess what happened, but I'm sure Melissa will want to do it =D
all I have to say is: FRED!
and Fatima...MAY have lost a few IQ points...just saying

The Dump...aka my room floor

I just cleaned my room
and I can finally see the floor again and use the chair, but the desk and the other chair is a whole other story, but besides that...
I finally found:
my headphones
my missing sock
2 scarves
3 pairs of gloves
a pin
a hair elastic
some mulah
and dust =P
