Rant - $26 = a piece of paper.
Okay, so I talked about my renting crap not long ago, and I mentioned that I was waiting for my criminal record. Well, I got it today.
I thought since I got a criminal record and all, I can give it to them for my job interview if they asked for it(or if I even get an interview), But NOOOOOOOO
On the bottom it HAS to say "NOT FOR EMPLOYMENT USE".
So basically, I got this paper for $26, and I can only use it once. What for? So that I can pay $1,500 to the landlord. WOOHOO!!!!
ARG I hate this crap. Good thing it's over and done with.

Season Finale - House.
Disclaimer: If you think this blog is about the season finale of House, the TV show, you're wrong.
(offtopic)
Not long ago, I posted an entry titled 'P5 - 'Tis not Persona 5' and I got a comment complaining that I lied about my title because my post has nothing to do with Persona 5. So now it's my fault that I misled you into reading that blog??? Um.. HELLO? DO YOU READ ENGLISH?! Even if you don't know what 'Tis mean, you know at least know NOT PERSONA 5 means it's NOT persona 5. Be thankful you commented as an 'anonymous', or I'd totally track you down for dirtying my holy ground. *makes my blog sounds so important* LOL
(/offtopic)
Anyways...
Yup! I went to look at houses a while ago, and yet again, made an offer. The reason why I didn't blog about this at all is because there hasn't been a conclusion to this thing. BUT NOW IT HAS!!!
So this condo that I picked is well... one could say it's a single bedroom(with living room, kitchen, and washroom), but at the same time it's actually just one gigantic room. ALL the rooms are connected(including kitchen, but excluding washroom). As in like, there's no doors, no walls between them.
(offtopic)
Now please imagine washroom being connected, too. Nice imagine right? ;D!
(/offtopic)
It's $1,500 per month, but it includes EVERYTHING (excluding internet and furniture), so we offered. Two days later the landlord replied, demanding a lot of things from me:
1. Banking record for my mom, which I understand since she's acting as my guarantor/reference. The landlord needs to make sure my mom has good credits and is trustworthy and stuff.
2. A reference letter for my mom. Yes, the landlord is demanding a reference for my reference. REALLY?!
3. Two pieces of ID -- Student ID & A government issued photo ID.
4. A criminal record. Yea, she wants to check if I am a criminal or not. I've been to Toronto for less than a year, in fact, less than half a year. Does she really think that there will be any record on my criminal record? Even IF I committed some kind of a crime, I would be in jail right now; I would not be able to, oh I don't know, look for condos maybe?
5. (This is a condition) She has 5 business days (after getting all the documents) to decide whether or not she wants to rent the place to me.
The landlord also offered to furnished the place for extra $100 in the rent. That's $1200 extra for a bed, a TV(which is too small, so I am not going to use it anyways), a desk, a shelf, and a table. I, of course, Ikea-ed and found out that I can get those things for cheaper. I declined the offer.
My agent said just ignore the criminal record, so I did, and I got everything else and gave it to her in a day. I've waited around 4 business days to finally get a reply. The reply is not even a 'yes' or a 'no'. It's a 'I want the criminal record' reply. Wow, that took you 4 days to decide? Indecisive much. But it's her place, so I can't really do anything (this landlord is asking way too much).
I googled the police station near my residence and found two. I went to the first one(took me 15 minutes) and they said 'You have to go to the headquarters', which is the other one(took me another 15 minutes). There was a pretty long line, so I stood in line for a good 10 minutes or so before my turn. I had to fill out a form, and they told me they'll mail it to me in 5 to 10 business days. I got it anyways, and it costs me $26 bucks. I am already so poor; I can't even afford to eat out, and I am forced to pay $26 bucks on some kind of record? Gee, Thanks a lot.
This happened on a Tuesday, and the contract expires on a Thursday... in two days. Yea, it's all because it takes her FOREVER to reply with a 'yes' or a 'no' instead of 'I want this', 'I want that'. Now the contract's going to expire and there's no way I can get the criminal record in time. I phoned my agent which got in contact with the landlord's agent, and they just amend the criminal record condition, but they also added a new one. That new one basically said
That's that. I'm still waiting for the record, but since I know there's nothing bad on it, I'll get the place for sure. Thus, a conclusion to this mess. I think I'm going to have so much fun dealing with her anal attitude for a whole year. Fun fun. The pictures to this place is still on my Camera, I'll upload it on facebook when I have the chance and link you to it.

I'll agree to rent you the house for now, but if when I see the criminal record, and I don't like it... You're not getting this place.

A little rant?? about an 'Unkathleen Friendly Article'.
so my friend sent me this article, which I thought was... pretty unbelievable and funny, but kind of mean.
Either way, read the article first: here
BEFORE YOU READ THE REST OF MY BLOG -- YOU WON'T GET WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AT ALL IF YOU DON'T READ THE ARTICLE FIRST(AT LEAST READ THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE). NOTE THAT IT IS UNKATHLEEN FRIENDLY.
There are many reasons why this article is so funny.
1. Why do people even research about this kind of stuff? Instead of researching ugly men VS good looking men. Why not research CANCER and save lives? Sure, go ahead and spend thousands of money research useless crap and publish an article with no scientific proofs to back up the claim.
2. Speaking of good looking men and ugly men, one can't really have a ugly men VS good looking men contest since that classification is totally subjective. People have their own opinion on who's good looking and who's ugly. There are people out there that like short, fat, acne-filled men, at the same time, there are people that dislike tall, muscular, tanned men.
3. No matter how I look at it, I see no connections between how you look and the amount ofwhite substance one produces. I have nothing more to say about this, unless you have something to add to this...
4. They way they present the article -- how they wrote "WOMEN wanting to get pregnant should find themselves an ugly man". REALLY?! So a woman should go up to an 'ugly man' and say "Hi, You're ugly. Let's fuck!" Oh yea, like he's totally going to agree to that... maybe if he's desperate enough and has no dignity, but most are going to refuse and possibly slap the woman. Real rude of her.
Are people actually going to believe this kind of crap? Second thought, stupid people believe in stupid things and that leads to stupid arguments.
Stupid Woman: "WTF. I AM GOING TO SUE YOU, THIS ARTICLE IS NOT TRUE. I DID IT MANY TIMES BUT STILL NOTHING!!"
Author of the article: "Look at yourself woman, you're in your sixties."
....
I don't really want to imagine rest of the arguments... *imagines anyways*... LOLOLOLOLOL
This article might not be fake, but I know it's definitely not MAGICAL.

Good News everyone~ =D
I think everyone that reads my blog already knows about this, but WHO CARES~ It's always good to announce good news over and over again.
I thought (for the longest time) that I won't be able to go back to Vancouver this summer(2010) because I have summer school all summer long... until I saw the schedule for it. School ends August 13, and finals are from 16~20, which means I am free from 21 till school starts.
That's around 2 weeks, and that's enough time to go back to Vancouver and hang around and stuff before coming back for another year of Torture.
My plane(from Toronto to Vancouver) is August 21 @ 1:00pm. Noon. Toronto Time. I'll get there around 3pm. Soo~~ If you want to come pick me up at the airport~~ *winkwink* LOL
I'm going back with Kristie, Lisa and Mike on September 3 @ 11:15pm. It'll be fun traveling when you're not alone =]

March! (& Salsa)
If you get the reference of the title, you're awesome. Anyways...
Today marks the start of a newLife! ... Month!
But not really.
I'm still stuck in school, still jobless, still moneyless, still houseless,still friendless. Jokes. XD But like I've mentioned before, I applied at 5 different places, but none seems to want me. Since I'm jobless, that kind of implies that I am also moneyless(no shit). Houseless because the landlord of the condo that I want to rent hasn't given me a reply, yet(Kind of like how all the places I applied). Damn them and their slowness.
In this routined life, there are still stuff to enjoy and look forward to. Like the tales games, pokemon games, the other games, europe trip that I am planning, japan trip that I might go, and other stuff which I will explain/announce when the time comes. XD
