It's funny to hear single friends wanting to settle down. What ever happened to personal success, reaching career goals and making $$ before saying "I do"? I'm finding it amusing to witness our thoughts and goals being re-evaluated over the years and wonder if they'll change again in the next 5 years. I'm sure it will...
Anyway, my whole blog is to point out--er, to ask: How do single people out of college date?
The options are grim.
1: Depending on friends to set you up with their friends/family hook ups.
2: Online dating services.
3: One word--CHINA.
Seattle was surveyed to be one of the top 5 most date-able cities in the US. What's going on?

Dropping it like it's H.O.T.
The Mah Jong Nazi is BACK!!!! Whoo-hoo! I cleaned house last nite by winnning a whopping $46!!!! GO ME! Yes, I get my ya-ya's by winning money from family members. It's a Chinese thing. Don't hate.
PS. Really wishin for a Yung Ho Dou Jiang place in chinatown. Maybe if I close my eyes and wished with all my might, it'd might come true?

Weekend Rendevous
So many things to write about---where should I start?
I had one of the best weekends ever in Seattle. Friday nite I did a much needed cardio activity by playing ball with the guys for 2 1/2 hours (full-court) and loaded up on carbs at ABC Garden afterwards. Sure reminded me of the good ol college times with the indo guys. Black magic anyone?
Saturday morning and afternoon was a blur but at nite, Kei, Jeremy and I spontaneously headed over to the Bada Lounge in Belltown. That place licked ass so we went next door to Axis. Much chiller crowd and ordered drinks. All of suden Jeremy was like "hey, you guys wanna go clubbing?" Kei and I both widen our eyes and slowly nodded in agreement. Down Under was just down the street and I did know the bartender there (free drinks!).
To make sure the place was poppin, we made Jeremy go down first to scope out the place. In the meantime, Kei and I split a hotdog and I noticed the bartender's brother, who was actually the club manager! So I went over to say hi and he remembered me!! So me and Kei got on "the list" and were pretty stoked about that. Tequila shots, bumpin n grindin and watching Jeremy dance like an old man later, it was time to go.
Hing Loon at 1:30am sure hit the spot!
Slumber party in room 425. Thats right, the 3 of us had a slumber party. Kei took the matress from the bedroom and laid it next to the futon in the living and that's how we slept. It was just like camp.
The morning after--Xeena's for breakfast!!!! Just like college, sigh~~~
CHURCH! Yes, yours truly went to church solely to scam on guys. It's low, pathetic and totally not worth it. But hey, I learned that I was God's Masterpiece and also got a free mug. So not a total waste of time.
Work wise: I'm getting a lot of projects and truth be told, I'm often confused and wondering what the heck I'm doing. But apparently I'm getting results but I'm still like "huh?".....
Oh yah, one last thing. Kei, Jeremy, Alan, Cyman, Danny, Marcus, Brandon, Andrew and I have put aside our differences and formed the Badunkas! Yes, we have joined the Puget Sound Basketball league and our first game is this Sunday. Wish us luck cuz we're going to need it!

2 Rules of the Biz
So my boss (technically everyone's my boss, but this person is the one who hired me) comes over to me today and in a tells me the golden 2 rules that she forgot to tell me yesterday. I started to freak out, thinking I did something wrong--but she goes:
"First off, if you haven't noticed, we're a loud bunch of people and anything goes. So if at any point we might have offended you, please let us know. We're very laid back--there's wine in the kitchen and beer in the fridge. Secondly, we value confidentiality..."
Wow, wine in the kitchen and beer in the fridge!?! Don't have to guess too hard in where I'll be spending my down time... Just kidding!

First day gitters
I started my internship today at the communications firm, Parker LePla. I was a nervous wreck and just did not know what to expect. I don't know why I was surprised to have my own desk (next to the boss!) but it was right next to the window where I had the wonderful view of Lake Union. Well, my back is towards the window, but every so often, I'd *stretch* and take in the view.
The people there seem really nice and just Seattle style-laid back. I'm not sure if its early in the game for the bitchiness to surface *knock on wood* but I am the only minority there so I gotta watch my own back. =P
There are no walls or dividers in the office so people are just speaking in high volumes to each other across the room. Open door policy, gotta love it...I think.
Anyway, after work I went to SU to work out and boy was I surprised to see a shit load of people there. Don't people eat dinner at 5:30? Hmm, now that I think about it, probably not. My goal isn't to lose weight but to discipline myself into working out after work each day. Go me!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone!
Being a little bit older and not that much wiser, I really wanted to go out for New Years eve. Danny T, Stephaine, Travis, Kei, Sophia and Danny L were all down to paint the town red. We pre-funked at the Kristi's place (thanks Kristi!) and piled into Travis's car (thanks Travis!) and cruised down to Pioneer Square to get the party started.
We got seperated from the start--Sophia, Travis and I were upstairs in The Last Supper Club, Danny T and Stephaine were downstairs, while Kei and Danny L checked out other clubs within the vicinity. I hooked up right away with Tom/Todd (whatever his name was) and while he was getting a drink for me, Matt started dancin with me and I totally dissed Tom/Todd. I'm so sorry!
We went to Fenix Underground for part II of the nite and there were some really cute guys there! This cute but arrogant lookin guy walked up to me and Sophia and said:
Him: Are you waiting for someone?
Me: What? Am I waiting for someone?
Him: Yah, are you waiting for me?
o_O"
We were chillin by the stairs and this other really cute guy looked over at me. We played eye tag for a few seconds and he flashed this incredible smile, cocked his head and said "hey" or something. I really wanted to talk to him, but it seemed like he was busy in a huddle with his friends or something.
To the very cute white dude wearing a white button down shirt at Fenix Underground, holla at me!!
Anyway, I got my New Year's kiss plus a free drink so it was a good nite for me.
The next day: I met up with Heather in Queen Anne and she had some wild stories to tell. It was really nice to see her and caught up on the way down to Portland where I dropped her off at Nat's place and drove back home. Boy was I exhausted by the end of the nite. And right when I was about to log off, Jeff logged on and we talked for a while. I was trying to be matchmaker but I think I was a little over my head.
Heather and Jeff sitting in tree? Eh, only in my twisted, crazy, sick mind.
