I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside
I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Dear eBay.ca Family:
I’ve had an absolutely amazing time living and working here in Toronto at eBay.ca for the last three and a half months. I am so grateful that my time here has been just long enough to truly experience the love of the eBay.ca family, to taste the great diverse food selection that Toronto restaurants have to offer, to go to all the fun summer events, to party at a bunch of clubs downtown -- but just short enough to avoid the FREEZING wintertime that I keep hearing horror stories about.
You’ve all done such a remarkable job making me feel right at home here, and I will always hold all of those caring gestures dear to my heart.
So, it’s confirmed – the rumors are true:
- Canadians are more welcoming, friendly, down-to-earth, chill, and don’t stress out as much.
- In my opinion, the Toronto party scene definitely rivals Vegas.
- Canadians sound words out differently like: ‘aboot’ and ‘surry,’… and my all time favorite is: Ya’ll love saying ‘ay?’ at the end of sentences. =)
- The food here is amazing.
- There is a true ‘melting pot’ vibe where everyone really feels like they belong.
- It is way cleaner and safer here, and people make such a better effort to keep it that way.
Yup, Toronto is definitely going down in my books as one of the greatest places I’ve been privileged to spend some good quality time. I will definitely be back to visit – as this place will always feel like somewhat of a home away from home to me!
One very important lesson I’ve learned here is to watch my step when in high heels! Those crazy sidewalk vents are everywhere, and you never know when you’ll get a heel stuck in there and fall face forward on one of those MONSTER garbage/recycling bins! Yes, it was an extremely rough lesson learned – however, somehow I feel I’ve gained so much knowing I can get through something like that. A huge thanks to everyone for showing all the support and care. I am truly grateful.
All I have to say is: I really feel like I am one lucky girl.
THANKS TORONTO! You’ve been more than amazing to me! Be SURE email me or give me a ring to let me know when you are coming to my hood, because I will be so happy to have the chance to extend the same welcome to any of you.
Tomorrow is my last day here, but I hope to see you all again. =)
Sincerely,
Sandy Chang

Taste of Danforth Weekend w/ Jason James and Judy
Enjoy the pix! Since I haven't had time to write/blog .. here's some excerpts from my brother's xanga about his time here in Toronto hehhee:
"Well, found some time to blog in Toronto. It's I guess 5am Toronto time. The clubs here are off the da hook. Crazier than anything in SF hands down. So many clubs, so many people coming out.
I'm happy I came out to a place like Toronto where there are tons more cute females at the club than SF, where the parties are ridiculously huge and ginormous, and go on even after last call.... it's seriously nothing I've ever seen outside of Vegas. Canadians... it's like they have nothing better to do.
~~~~~~~
For some funny reason, it's always Saturdays -- not Fridays -- that I have more fun at the club. Tonight was a really awesome night at the club. Perhaps just by a stroke of luck.
On a side note, my sister kicks ass. She has gotten me into the club for free, and gotten me free drinks pretty much every time I've gone to the club. Absolutely hilarious I tell you. My sister is one of those attractive party girl types and she knows all the who's-who at ALL the clubs. I mooch off all these guys who get bottle service and crap and it's all gravy.. har har har. so hilarious. anyway, both friday and saturday at toronto, we literally skip the lines at the clubs and just straight up move to the front of the line, then we head to the back room with bottle service and take shots of grey goose... ALL FOR FREE. har har har.. women... so many hookups.. lucky brother that I am to get hooked up by association.. har har har...
anyway, toronto is alright, but clubbin' is still not my thing. it's definitely my sister's thing. but it surely is not mine. it's fun. i danced with some women and talked to some cuties, for sure. but, I think i'm just going to stick to the grad parties and law skoo stuff. too bad toronto's winter sucks ass, otherwise this place seriously kicks major ass."
