金枝玉葉 - 今生今世

A scene from one of my all time favorite HK movies. I couldn't find just the song, but this will do.

The Mill

I have a very competitive side -- she usually shows up when exercising and/or sports related activities. Last nite at the gym, as I was getting ready for my usual run, this local chick hops onto the mill next to mine. I do the polite nod/smile and turn on my tunes.

[its on beeyotch~]

I started off at my normal speed then I noticed my legs were actually moving wayyy faster than hers so I hiked up my speed to a run and totally smoked her ass. Yes, everything is a competition. No, she didn't really have a chance. And yes, I really am that immature.

Wish List part Deux

Scrubs seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, etc. (i have season 6)

Memorable quotes:

----
Dr. Cox: The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body.
Turk: What?
Dr. Cox: Do you understand the second you look in the mirror and you're happy with what you see, baby, you just lost the battle.
Turk: You should give speeches to teenage girls.
----
Carla: Elliot, you know how they say, "No one will ever love you until you learn to love yourself?"
Elliot: My mother used to say, "No one will ever love you."
----
Carla: Fine, you can't live with Elliot, but you're not living with us so get your crap out by Friday.
J.D.: Friday? Friday's my birthday. I've already e-vited everyone to a party at our place.
Carla: Whose place?
J.D.: Your place. Look I can't just un-e-vite everyone. I've got two e-yeses and 24 e-maybes. That's a lot of e-sponses.
Carla: Bambi, I'm gonna put my e-foot up your ass.
J.D.: It's a Mexican themed fiesta on the first anniversary of my 29th birthday. That means I'm turning thirty. Donde? 56 Walnut Drive. Cuando? Thank you for asking, ocho-thirty until upside down question mark. Sombreros at the door. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooh!
Turk: I'll be there.
J.D.: Gracias, amigo.
[to Carla]
J.D.: I borrowed one of your dictionaries.
----
[Elliot and Carla treat Maggie, a patient who wants to loose her virginity before dying]
Maggie: Don't people sometimes pay for sex?
Elliot: Oh, boy, do they. I slept with Jenny Johnson's older brother in high school, and then he decided to tell all of his friends what my orgasm face looked like. Then three of them posed like that for their yearbook photos! Paid for that one for years.
Carla: Elliot, I think she means pay _money_ for sex.
Elliot: Oh, I got a story about that, too. Not about me, though, my mom... She gets lonely.

Mama

Alice, my mom, is a big, big, big fan of the big Louis -- as in Louis Vuitton. Chanel, Gucci, Tods, Hermes, Celine, Fendi, Botagga ... yeah, those are nice people too, but no one compares to Louis.

I fail to understand her love over for the guy. In fact, its insane, even border line obsessive. I mean, who really needs 10 LV bags? Well, considering it was her bday last month, plus its mothers day today and the fact that I won't be home for xmas, so this year, I will be extra generous and give her a big 'L' bag to add to her already impressive collection.

I even consulted Queenie before the purchase and bitched about the snooty sales lady as well. Her reply was simple "go for it, but don't buy it from that lady. buy it from someone else and rub it in her face!" Yea, good tactics fo'sure.

Happy Mothers Day.

My Job

My friends think I have a glamourous job. Marketing death sticks is so not glam. But then again, all the free access to the clubs is pretty nice -- not to mention the free booze (aka patron).

So last nite was another glam nite. First stop, Deep Passion (KANE party) that was kinda ghetto fabulous. That stop was made possible by Sauza(?) tequila. Next stop was Spark(le). I [heart] Spark(le) only cuz of sweet, sweet Patron.

I left around 2am and 69~78% still intoxicated. I received a text at 8:30am from Cheryl. It said "shit, how did i get home?" Oh yeah, this is the glam life~

Instincts

You know that feeling where you know something is off -- your gut tells you, your friends tell you, even the powers that be tells you.

But you're just too stubborn to see it or hear it or speak it. Maybe you're an eternal optimist. Maybe you think there's a tiny smidge of chance (0.000001%) that everyone is wrong. Maybe you think if you just ignore it or pretend its not there, nothings really off. Maybe you're trying to find an excuse -- a rational one, a reasonable one, but nothing makes sense.

So you go into denial. You take a step or two back. You re-evaluate your priorities. You finally admit to yourself that your initial instincts were right. You realize its not your battle. No loss, no gain (well, maybe a little gain).


Damn those monkeys.

Diva

Amanda's wedding is coming up! I still haven't registered for a gift yet. Hope she's not reading this. Oops~

Waiting

I'm waiting for my morning coffee to kick in.

I'm waiting for my ad agency to send me designs that were due yesterday.

I'm waiting for my supplier to provide corporate item samples that were requested 2 weeks ago.

I'm waiting for a sign, for a moment, for something...

Hmm...

K, some freaky shit has been happening and I'm not in the mood to blog about it, but the following conversation with my sister pretty much sums it up.

-----
I say: i mean, i'm sure its all coincidences, but everything's been happening within days of eachother

I say: so its hard not to think otherwise

Tracy says: yea.....maybe someone's spirit is trying to tell you something

I say: tell me waht?

Tracy says: I dunno.....I have dreams....you got spirits hahaha

I say: you know how crazy that sounds right?

I say: lol

Tracy says: hehe.....well good luck with your spirits and whatnot....I'm going to bed...

I say: dream of my spirit and tell me whats up

Tracy says: hehe....we'll see....bye

I say: g'nite

Addiction(s)

I'm addicted to double eyelid stickers.



It's been like 2 months and the office folks are used to seeing my newly smoldering lookin eyes (not really).

Another new addiction is this fancy, schmancy turquoise headband that I've been sportin at work (only at work). It's Eve's and it's very shiny and pretty and polka dotty and not to sound like a narcissist or anything, but hot damn I look good!

Oh, I finally remembered to bring an apple. This is what the pros call 'a break through'.

Office Space

I think the cleaning lady hates me. This is what my trash bin looks like everyday (well, this is me being nice). I will be adding my half full cup of joe by end of day, as I do everyday.

Grandma

I went to visit my grandma last weekend. When I got to her place, she was sitting on her bed counting her secret stash of bills.

The following is what I observed:

Step 1: roll the cash
Step 2: wrap a rubber band around them
Step 3: stash the wad in a pouch
Step 4: wrap a rubber band around the pouch

[climax]

Step 5: stash pouch in a pair of whitey tighties
Step 6: wrap a rubber band around the whity tighties
Step 7: stash whitey tighties in super duper secret closet drawer

Apples

The mind works in peculiar ways -- especially my mind. I bought apples and guava earlier this week in an effort to eat healthier. Every nite before sleeping, I'll tell myself "don't forget to bring an apple to work". Every morning I rush out the door cuz I always over sleep. I'll quickly scan the kitchen and living room area to make sure I didn't forget anything, pet the dog and head out the door. And like clock work, right when I get to the main street something triggers my memory and like a person with tourettes, I'll scream out "Fuck~ apples!"

Blast From the Past

I [heart] reading past blog entries.

This was written back in December 2005.

addicted to coffee

Some things just never change. =)

[一姐]

I've known Queenie since my days at LB. She's 45% genuine, 45% down to earth and 10% [huh?].

Our conversation from last nite:

Me: What's that sound in the background? Tv?
Q: No, its my Dad lecturing me...
Me: Wow, he's loud~ What did you buy this time? Clothes, bags, shoes or...?
Q: Haha. I bought something that I thought was useful.
Me: Which was...?

[at this point, I honestly thought she bought cleaning supplies or some sort of home appliance. I was not prepared for the answer she was about to say.]

Q: I bought a fire extinguisher.

[o.O silent pause]

Me: ... ok ... um, why?
Q: It was a group purchase with my coworkers... Original price was almost NT$3000, I got it for less than $2000. It's a good deal right?
Me: [couldn't stop laughing]

ADD

Random thought: I wish Astri would get back into blogging.

Its amost lunch time and I've had somewhat of a hectic morning. Drafting up a CTP (critical time path) is hella time consuming. Plus, I think I have a mild case of ADD so sporadically I'd look over my left shoulder and gaze out the window.

I don't focus on anything in particular, the brick building next door kinda blocks 40% of the view. My eyes always fall on the Boracay postcard that Angela sent when we were there. My mind doesn't really think about anything (not even the white sandy beach) so its like a nice breather/pause. Then my eyes wonder back to my computer screen and I sigh really loud and continue on.

Oh, I looked at it again.

Finally booked my ticket home. Seattle / Bay Area, I'ma coming!

@ Work

-__-

2 words can describe my current mood: [muffin top]. I'm looking at the apple sidra I had for breakfast and wonder why. Sheeeit~

For shits and giggles:

There's a publication here called Bang Magazine. I thought it was the funniest thing. I haven't seen the magazine, but apparently we will air one of our party ads in it (so dirrrrty).

I asked my co-worker "do you know what bang means?" She goes "yeah, of course." Not believing that she was up to par with American slang, I looked her in the eye and asked again, emphasizing the word 'bang'. She looked at me and with a straight face goes "I want to bang you." LOL!~ My coworker is friggin cool!

My 'Baby'

This is my supposedly 'baby' at work. The canteen I like, but the sofa area will need some getting used to.

ps. No, I did not pick the sofa/carpet colors.
