After 81 games played, Canada's two flagship hockey teams, the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs, will play their final match of the regular season Saturday night on Hockey Night in Canada. The long-running broadcast has had few games bigger than this one and the rivalry between the two clubs has seen few games carry as much importance as this one.

The game will be broadcast throughout Canada in English on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada and in French on RDS at 7 p.m., ET. Canadians who find themselves outside the country this holiday weekend are scrambling to catch the game, whether through the League's out-of-market Center Ice package in the United States (delivered via television or broadband), in Europe via rightsholder NASN (Europe's leading network for North American sports), or worldwide with NHL.com's free live radio broadcast, available in both of Canada's official languages.

Everything they play for will be on the line as both clubs need a victory in their final game of the season to advance to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Easter holiday is on Sunday, but it stands to reason the entire country might just shut down the night before.

The winner might get into the tournament. The loser might go home for the summer, as the ramifications of the game will go far beyond the provincial borders of Ontario and Quebec.

Saturday's game marks the 682nd Canadiens-Maple Leafs regular-season meeting in 90 years of NHL competition. They have met in each team's last game of the regular season just once in the past 64 years and this time the stakes are unique; never have these franchises met in the season's final game with a playoff berth on the line for both.

Going into the final weekend of the regular season, the Eastern Conference playoff picture is still a work in progress. Three teams -- the Canadiens, Leafs and the New York Islanders -- are all still fighting for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

This weekend's action offers a myriad of playoff-clinching scenarios for the final Eastern Conference playoff berth:

Montreal Canadiens

* Would qualify for the playoffs with a victory Saturday.

* Would qualify for the playoffs with an overtime loss Saturday and the Islanders dropping a point in either of their final two games, at Philadelphia Saturday afternoon and at New Jersey Sunday afternoon.

Toronto Maple Leafs

* Would qualify for the playoffs with a regulation victory Saturday and the Islanders dropping a point in either of their final two games, at Philadelphia Saturday afternoon and at New Jersey Sunday afternoon.

New York Islanders

* Would qualify for the playoffs with victories at Philadelphia Saturday afternoon and at New Jersey Sunday afternoon and the Canadiens losing at Toronto in regulation Saturday.

For those who didn't know yet, here's what happened to me recently.

Last Monday, as I was getting sick, I was in the subway to go home from work. While I was standing, and getting worse being sick, I started to see black spots. And they accumulated within seconds. All the sudden, I found myself on the floor, hearing voices "stop the metro! call an ambulance!", etc.

When I was really woke up, the people asked me questions like if I ate, how is my heart etc. Then I got off the subway and waiting for the paramedics. The paramedics checked my pulse, blood pressure and my sugar level. It all seemed to be normal. So I had the option to go to hospital with them or get back home. I decided to get back home, eat, then go to hospital since I would still have to wait hours in the waiting room. So I signed a "contract" to sign off.

When I got home,  I told my mom. She turned white lol. After dinner, we went to the hospital. I had a blood test, ECG and basics neurologic tests. All seemed to be normal. It took all night because of the waiting. So the doctor said I might had have a "vasovagal syncope". Basiccally it's a typical fainting that anyone could have once in their life. No biggy.

So yeah. At least I know I don't have anything bad. Whats "good" all this is tha death didn't even occured to me when it happened. Like I knew it wasn't my time. Oh and women took care of me in the metro  

Haha ok. So that was my little adventure. Next adventure: sex  lol

Ok so aside from the Valentine post I made last weekend, I'm gonna do a little update on my life. It will be short tho...

As you all know, I started my internship since Jan. 22nd. So since then, all  I do is wake up early, eat breakfast, take a bus (something it's a bitch! They skip my stop because it's too full at like -40 degrees!) take the metro and go to work. Then when I get home I do stuff without thinking about the job unlike what I did for school.

My internship so far has been great. At first, I felt maybe kinda lost which is totally normal, but the 2nd week was already much better! My first project was pretty easy too. Now I'm starting a 2nd one and it's going to be a lot more challenging. But I'm up for it!

Umm  besides that, there's not much I can say. Things are going good. *knock on woods* It sounds boring, but it's not because at work the employees are really tight and very social so it helps a lot.

So yeah...laters..

I'm gonna be brief on this one. Most of you will think I'm going to bash it with a long, long text because I'm single etc. Well I won't. Here's what I'm gonna say.

Valentine's day, first of all, it's commercial. I mean, you HAVE to agree with me on that right? But hey, it works. So I give credits to marketing for the ongoing charade.

Valentine's Day is mostly for the ladies. They wanna feel special, to see how the boyfriend loves her. Ok fine. But I'd prefer to feel them special on aniversaries or the girl's b-day, etc.  I could have said "everyday". But no.  I won't say that because no one is perfect so there would have been difficult days. Besides, it's kinda creepy. Girls likes challenges. Not "I LOVE YOU" every 5 minutes. Geez.

BUT the fact is, I'm single. So no pressure for me . Besides, I like being single. I don't love it (I am human afterall). But I like it.

My *least* favorite friend, Sara (haha jk jk), posted a link from youtube on a cupid being...well you'll see. Go see it lol

Next week I'll give you an update on my life. So stay tuned!

Hah! It's been awhile that I didn't rant on something. But last night something happened that I didn't like and at the same time, it did some reflections on myself.

Last night, I was about to watch hockey and while my mom went downstairs, my step dad called my name from the computer room. So I went and I was looking at the screen and he was in one of my folders that has...well...porn.

This folder is in another hard drive that is specifically mine along with my other personal stuff. My step father and my mom also have their own. He went to mine to check how many space I have left. And he told me there is nothing to be embarassed that I have porn videos. Ok. Great. D'uh, I'm 22 and what I've done is nothing illegal. I was still a little embarressed and awkward which is normal. But that's not my problem. My problem is he went to my personal stuff without my permission. He checked how many space left I got? Fine. But he didn't have to double-click all my folders to see what I have.

I didn't say anything. I just said "ok" and walked away. At first I was a little shocked but then my anger started to grow inside of me. I pretended that it didn't bothered me much. But in my head I even thought of moving out of this house. Cuz even my mom goes into my stuff in my bedroom. I got nothing to hide, but still, they both have to respect my privacy. It's my right even if we live in the same roof. I never go to their stuff. Really. Cuz if they hide something "dirty", I don't wanna know.

Now some people would tell me that I should have bursted out my feelings. This time I didn't. But next time, I will. Trust me. I was this close to do last night. It's just a matter of time. They didn't see me yelling or wtv in a long, long time. But they will soon if I discover something. And I will threat them that I can move out if they will continue. They don't want me to move out for now, especially my mom. So that will shake them up.

Anyways, as the night progressed, I went on the computer. Thinking. And I do feel guilty that I can also be nosy to some of my friends. I often ask personal questions and when they don't want to, I don't get upset, but I feel "left out" in a way. But I know I'm not. Maybe I'm not used to that because most of them do share their stuff. Because they can trust me that I don't tell anyone else. And those who don't wanna share it's because they don't really trust me and I guess it bothers me a little. But I know I shouldn't.  I can be that way to some people also.

Then, out of nowhere, one of my friends, who's girlfriend is on vacation in Panamas, went to talk to me on msn saying that he's trying to access his gf's email to see if she read his email. Because he didn't get a reply. Then he took her cellphone which she trusted him to keep an eye on it, trying to access something but he couldn't cuz she left a PIN code. Since I'm a "computer scientist", he expected me to help him. I was like "umm no". And he really didn't get me at the right time cuz of what happened to me earlier so I told him off, to mind his own business and stop snooping around her gf's stuff. She's in Panamas for fuck sake. She'd really go on the internet? Geez! I wouldn't even do that!

So yeah. It feels good to write about it. I'll see what happens next time with my step father. He might be surprised of who I really am. He's a great man. Really. But he has to fix this. That's all.

Peace!

Wow...2007 already. I can remember it was 1989 like yesterday! It's weird. But that's the way it is.

This year  I'm going to start a new chapter which is my career. I'm going to graduate by the end of Spring and start right away my "real" job (since my internship isn't paid). No more 3 or so months of vacation. It's boring to have that much vacation while other people are busy so...

I just hope I won't have that many obstacles. I hope that I will like the place as an intern and that the company offers me a contract afterwards. But it sounds too easy. I want to be realistic. But I can't really help it lol. Maybe it's because I'm excited. But we'll see when time comes.

For now, my objectives are those that I've mentionned and invest my money to buy a new, way more powerfull computer, keep in good health and try to be more sociolized than last year. I'm gonna start as simple as possible and who knows what can bring me in the meantime. I hope it's gonna be more positive than negative. I also hope that my whole family will be tighter. But I doubt it.

So yeah. Have a Happy New Year!

Geez! It's been already over a month I didn't blog! Well last time, I talked about that some people are just so damn lucky and that I didn't find my internship yet and was losing patient. But I also said that eventually I'll find it sooner or later. Which I did.

My teacher had pratically threaten a company to take me and 2 other classmates that didn't receive 1 phone call to get in. So according to him, we're in. It's a company that makes websites for such as TV shows, cities, colleges, governnment etc, and also some DVD games. I'm really excited expecially the fact that it's in downtown.

So what else is new? Well I've been really busy to finish my final projects for school. There's one project for making websites with PHP along with HTML and CSS codes, I had to print 128 pages! But it was worth it, I got 95% -- highest in class! -- and my other classes were also a lot of work, but I wasn't that enthousiastic. So here are my marks:

Marketing Enterprise: 85%
User Interface MFC: 66%
PHP: 85% (project 1, 2 and final highest in class with over 93%)
Oracle Database Forms Builder: 72%
Quality Assurance: 60% (I technically fail the class...shshshs!)

So yeah, overall I'm satisfied. I'm this close to finish college! Yay!

Now as for Christmas, well my mom bought me a cell phone in November, my step dad bought me a DVD recorder for TV shows. It's also good to record movies on movie channels with no commercials. And last night my friend gave me the game of one of my favorite movies, Scarface for PlayStation 2. The game is similar to Grand Theft Auto games but on Tony Montana obviously. The game begins at the end of the movie and instead on getting killed, he survived and he has to rebuild his empire from skratch. It's pretty good so far . Very violent and extreme coarse language.

Umm what else ...I guess that's it for now. Maybe next time I'll rant on something, who knows lol.

Merry Christmas!

As you all know ( if not, your about to) I'm in the last year of college. In my field (computer science) we have an intership at the very last semester for 8-15 weeks. I'm suppose to start in mid-January and since September, I was getting excited and looking forward to it. In mid-October, my teacher who takes care of our interships sends our CV to various compagnies depending what we want to do (like I wanna do webpages with database or just managing databases, some might choose as a technician or application testings, etc.) and most of the compagnies are looking for web applications/database. So I'm suppose to receive phone calls or emails in the next weeks. My teacher sent at least 3-4 so far.

It's now been a month and I haven't received any communications yet. In the first few weeks I didn't mind because...well I simply didn't mind lol. But now I'm losing patience! Not really because I had 0 phone call yet; it's the fact that almost everybody got a phone call for an interview except me and another classmate. Not only that, but one of my friends, who is an extremely pessimist on himself, 0 sel-confidence, no job experience and not excited at all for the internship managed to have like 3 offers for an interview! Ok, ok, the recruiters don't know his attitude. Fine. BUT when he went to an interview, he actually SAID to them that he's NOT that good in programming, etc. He wasn't enthousiastic. When I learned that, I was like "geez ok, he won't get it for sure". Two days later, the teacher told him that he GOT IT!!

Wtf man! I work my ass off, having self-confidence on my work, excited for the internship and didn't get 1 fucken phone call? Geez! Some did great to the interviews and didn't get the job also. Isn't just ironic? I'm happy for the dude but I just don't like the irony. I have a feeling it's going to be like that in my life; stupid people will be more successful than me. Maybe I'm over-reacting but that's how I feel right now.

I know I will eventually get an intership one way or another. I don't have a choice anyways. I'm looking for some places by myself but it's hard. I know I should be patience, and I was until this irony happened. And yes, I did check my CV if my number is correct, thank you lol.

I just thougth I should let it out of my system lol. I will post an update if I have some news.

Oh I got a cell phone (yes, I'm one of you!) so if you want my number, ask!

Some of my friends found and posted this sort of poetry and I  would like to share to my readers. It makes me angry to see how many fucked up shit happen on innocent children. So here's the text and I think that the message of anti-child abuse should be wide spread.

"My name is Sarah I am but three,
My eyes are swollen I cannot see,
I must be stupid I must be bad,
What else could have made My daddy so mad?
I wish I were better I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy Would still want to hug me.
I can't speak at all I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up All the day long
When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark My folks aren't home.
When my mommy does come I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just One whipping tonight
Don't make a sound! I just heard a car
My daddy is back From Charlie's Bar.
I hear him curse My name he calls
I press myself Against the wall.
I try and hide From his evil eyes I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.
He finds me weeping He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault That he suffers at work.
He slaps me and hits me And yells at me more,
I finally get free And I run for the door.
He's already locked it And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me Against the hard wall.
I fall to the floor With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues With more bad words spoken.
"I'm sorry!", I scream But its now much too late
His face has been twisted Into unimaginable hate.
The hurt and the pain Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy! Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Sarah And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy Murdered me."
