What are the odds? A year ago or so, I met this girl who was a psychology student. I kinda dug her, butt she didnt me. Two weeks ago I finally decided to seek a therapist, and went to our university's applied psychology centre. While getting back home I was day dreaming "it will be awkward if I get a hot therapist who is my age...". 

Today was my triage. There were two other people there, a 8 years old boy and his (hot) sister. After awhile and some complains from the young boy, some opens the entry door [I think there is a better word for that...] and guess who was this?? The girl I met some years ago. She said hi to them both, but I guess she didnt notice me - or pretended she didnt know me. She got into the staff room and came back. She called the young boy. 



I really love fall (except for the bipolar temperature shifts). Half the trees look like they're on fire. It's so pretty.

Talking about trees, a lot of trees are dying here  because of a parasite ivy the grows over the tree. Many are being removed after they die because there is a risk of them falling. The trees in the square in front of my house are dying too. =(

This city used to be very green, and now, is one of the cities with less trees compared to other cities with the same size and similar geography.

Still about trees: traffic  jams are starting to happen a lot here. To improve car traffic in some parts of the city, the mayor office decided to make some changes in one of the most important streets in the city centre. This change involves enlarging one of the tracks, which means cutting part of one of the only squares in the centre - which also means one of the only public places with enough trees,bents and basketball/futsal court. In this square there is this huge tree (compared to most trees here), which is probably there for over a century. Guess what will happen to it if they put into action their plan?

And guess what will happen to the traffic? Almost nothing. In fact, things can get worse.

^That is really depressing, about the trees and such. At least with the ivy, it can't be helped, although it really sucks. Is there any petitioning or something that can be done so they don't go ahead with their plan to fix traffic? That doesn't sound like a very well thought out or fair solution.

According to some folks from the university, they could have removed it from some trees when doing the pruning. But I dont know! It sounds a little impossible, imo.

As for the traffic "fix", people had done a petitioning and a pacific protest there. But I dont know if that will be enough. What they basically want to do is a binary path so they can connect two streets that has high traffic, and in theory, make the traffic flow better. However, what is really going to happen is that this binary will be jammed too.

If I find enough willpower, I will make a map with the changes based on Google Maps / Street.

I was going to take the train and walk to work today. But it's raining, hard. So looks like I'll be driving.
I wish it started raining last night though, then I would have been able to sleep in

I like Adrian Brody's impersonation of Batman in Predators.

Spent last night in a room full of drunk people. When we first got there I really wanted to have a drink. About two hours into the evening I was super happy that I gave it up. Also I don't have a hangover so that's another bonus.

I quit drinking about 2 years ago and I have to admit I've felt so much better for it, bot having hangovers has been a truely wonderful thing.

He likes Blade Runner at least so I can probably forgive this one flaw. Probably.
