Bridget Jones's Diary 2 came in the mail about 3 weeks ago and I still haven't watched it. It's one of those movies that if it's lying around I'll ignore it but once it's gone I'll want to see it. Life's a hoot.
My uncle emailed me yesterday letting me know that I have a tax return check in the amount of 1000NT waiting for me in Taiwan. That comes out to about $30 US dollars. Quoting Marlow "Hot Damn".
Marlow's trying to recruit people to visit her white ass in Shanghai this Summer. She landed a Summer internship there and is enticing folks with cheap beer and kareoke. I'm sold as long as I have free lodging.
Interesting....

Sign of old age
Another weekend out and about. I had spent Friday evening with Sharon and James. It was actually one of the best low-key moments I had in a long time. We had dinner at Indochine and harassed Tien while she worked. Afterwards we went to Barnes & Nobles and while Sharon studied Cell Biology, James and I read magazines.
There's an awesome book called "The Angry Little Girl" and the Asian girl character is literally depicted from Tien's life. 2 thumbs up!
I was going to keep it even lower key Saturday nite, but a couple guys called me up wanting to go out. So I rounded up some people and boom, we were off to Element. I think I pulled my back while doing Heather's famous drop it like its hot move.
Celebrity of the nite~ We saw Ray Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics at the club! No wonder we're on a losing streak, these guys need to be at home resting... and I think Seahawks QB was there also? Interesing....

Century Ballroom
My first time salsa dancing in Seattle--boy, was it a workout! Those middle aged Mexicans sure have stamina! I was spinning, twirling, stepping on toes, being stepped on, gettin it on with my bad self, etc throughout the nite. But it definitely makes it more fun if you know the steps or have a middle aged Mexican dude dragging you across the dance floor.
2 thumbs up!

Last Week at PLP
My last week at PLP!!! I'm sad and excited but its time to move on and harass another company.
I need a mini vacation pronto! Jeremy, Alan, Sharon and I have been planning a freakin trip up to BC for the LONGEST TIME!!! Everytime we have a date set, something comes up. Its been rescheduled so many times already that I don't feel like going anymore.
A trip to Taiwan never sounded so good....

I "heart" Monday
I just spent 1.5 hours playing around with the Rubicks cube, trying relentlessly to get at least one side the same color. I gave up b/c I have this wonderful project that needs to be done. Ugh, I need coffee or something that'll get me in the "work mode".
Okay, I'm going to give myself 15 mins to compose myself and BAM~ its SOA, IDE and EAI for the rest of the afternoon! ZzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wing Chick Job Post
Be a Wing Chick! - $25 per hr.
Are you outgoing, funny and love hooking people up?
I'm looking for 2 gals that would like to make a few extra $$ a month and are great social butterflies that can make conversation with ANYONE! You may have read about this lately - but this is a service where you help men meet women by being their "wing chick."
This means that you are out with them in a social environment in a COMPLETELY PLATONIC WAY. (In fact we have very strict rules regarding this.) It is your job to find women you think might be a good match for your "friend." You will do a little re-con, to make sure this gal is single - then weave your friend into the conversation. After that - it's up to him to get the number, etc!
Typical hours are in the evening - weeknights are a minimum of 2 hours, maximum of 4 - weekends are a minimum of 3 hours, and maximum of 5. All WingChick assignments have strict rules about locations, etc. You will never be allowed to be in a car with your "friend", and you will never be allowed to accept tips, and all locations are required to be public and well populated. You have to be highly intuitive, know how to deal with all kinds of personalities, and have a good background in the world of dating! You will be required to have a background check done, and provide references.
Interested? Please send a detailed cover letter (150 - 300 words) as to WHY you think you'd make a great Wing Chick. Photos are also helpful. Position closes on March 7th. This is a woman owned business!

TGIF
Action packed bday weekend. Parent's must've been gettin busy if ya know what I mean. Yeesh!! Condoms, people!! Condoms!
As you can tell, I'm over flowing with work at "work". Half the people are out and that leaves just 4 people in the office. I'm trying to pitch the idea of an early day~~ but I don't think it'll happen.
MmM, I'm craving a rice crispy treat right now. *droOl*

Rain?
I think I control the weather somehow. I mean, its the first time I decided to take a break from work and it rains! Whaddya know~ I bring the sun, I feel like the sun, I am the sun! Okay, that was a bit freaky.
Shucks, I'm still trying to figure out how to add people's blog sites. Astri, next time I'm over we're going to do a mini-tutorial--a.k.a, you're going to do it for me! =P
My internship is in its last stretch. My remaining goals are to learn pitches and press releases. Hopefully adding those skills onto my resume will make me stand out more when I'm applying to jobs.
Over and out.
PS. I finally caved and ate BEEF ribs at Claim Jumpers. I only ate 1 plus 1 more the day after... Hey, I was down and depressed, beef was my only friend.
----------------------------------------------
I hate sales people...er, that's a bit harsh. I hate "sales" in general.

So Chinese~~
A student of mine sent me this joke and I thought it was worthy enough to be posted.
Chinese Adam and Eve:
If Adam and Eve were Chinese, we would still be in paradise because Chinese people would have ignored the apple and eaten the snake!
So true, so Chinese....

A year in review
A year ago today, I was in Taiwan eagerly anticipating a month long journey to Southeast Asia. It's amazing how time just flies by and I'm wondering how I'm going to top the previous year.
Top 10 moments in Taiwan
10. Alice, waltzing out of the bathroom with just a towel
9. Talking about sex ed in one of my classes (Zhong San MRT)
8. The girls scrambling to get ready to go clubbing
7. Driving from Hua Lian to Tai Tung during Chinese New Years
6. Polly's uncontrollable hornyness
5. Phone tree (j, a, h, ma, me, g, o, p)
4. Crashing into a wall and getting stitches
3. Rushing out the door to throw away trash
2. Making brunch at the apt
1. Traveling to SE Asia and Australia
Honorable mention to Moe and her never-ending poop trail.

And the cycle continues
I'm half way through with my internship and it's been quite the ride! The experiences I've gained will hopefully be carried onto my next job. Thus I am starting the whole job hunting cycle once again. I feel I am better prepared this time around and hopefully won't repeat past mistakes.
Due to numerous advertising, I have signed onto Blockerbuster.com. I can now rent movies online (just like netflix) with a low monthly cost of $14.99. Speaking of enterntainment, I am now hooked on the tv show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. It is like fire to a moth!!!
In other entertainment news, we're planning on checking out the salsa dancing scene at the Century Ballroom this Saturday. I'm excited for it and I'm thinking it'll be oodles of fun.

Rude Awakening
This posting is in honor of Travis Dean Neuman, who called at 4 freakin AM just to hi. You are officially on my hate list--at the very top no less! Tien and I will be calling you back-to-back one of these days at an ungodly hour just to say hi. You've been warned bitch!!!

Tricks are for kids
I finally heard back from Marlow today. I get an email from her every so often and she replies at a decent pace, but I guess everyone gets lazy once in awhile and would rather watch tv, eat cookies and get drunk than to write an email. I salute you for that.
In recent developments, I have quit the Puget Sound Basketball League. My initial goal when joining was to get back in the groove of balling and to have fun. But things didn't work out and leaving now makes more sense than to stick it out and be miserable.
Age as taken a toll on me. It seems harder to bounce back after a nite out. Gee, if this is what 23 feels like, I wanna be 22 again! And I don't even drink all that much! Maybe I should and somehow it'll balance *something* out and I'll be 'perky' the morning after----riiiight.
I recently had an interview with a media agency and it was one of those interviews where you thought things went well, but no--they decide on someone else. It's a bit ironic--the interview for my current internship, I thought I did shitty on and wham-bam I got it. I guess I should just perform shitty on my next interview (whenever that will be) and I'll get the job!
Speaking of work, I have soooo many deadlines this week! I'm seriously thinking about heading in early to get it done. I don't have to, but I don't want to do a half-ass job--not my style(anyone surprised?).
