The Holiday In Betweeners

Yes, I am talking about those that are stuck at work in between the Christmas holiday and New Years holiday. I just got back to work today and realized that I am one of the few poor little souls that have to be back for 3 days and look foward to the New Year's long weekend.
So I sit at my desk and reminisce about the good food and alchihol over the past 5 days I had.

Now I also start thinking, my New Year's resolution (like 1 million others out there) is to go on a diet and loose weight. According to my calculations, I have about 4 more days until I need to diet my butt off...therefore I am gonna stuff myself with all the yummy food as I can prior to then!

That is why I am currently having "Pirate's Booty with Aged White Cheddar" puffs as my snack :D

Seee....I am smarrrttt......:D

I Have come to the conclusion that Poo Does Follow Me :(

Have you ever wondered sometimes if you are just imagining things or you really smell or see poo?

Well, lucky for me it's everywhere I go.

I walk into the restroom at work, with all of the stalls empty, I always have to choose the one with the unflushed goodies in it! Blaeeeckkkkkk.....

So I have 2 desks at work (don't ask me why). It has become a weird yet strangely familiar habit of mine to have a bottle of air freshener at my desk. Yes, at times, I will get a whiff of poo smell and I wanna die! It could be the fact that I sit near a restroom...but man, whoever graces their presence with their poo must have bad lunches all the time! So I pretend that I am freshening up and spray rose water all over my area...muahahahah

Right now...I am sitting at my other desk...no restroom nearby, not even a Treadmill nearby (ahahhaha), and I SMELL POO! So did the guy next to me fart or something?!? And not only once, three or four times! I just took out a bottle of lotion I am sniffing it.
Am I gonna get high on lotion and air fresheners??

Oh boy...

Who Closes a Cafe at 1:30pm?!?!?

So I broke out my routine today and decided that I would go to the gym during my lunch hour. I didn't want to eat prior to the gym so I figured I would just grab something quick afterwards.

So I was all happy driving back to work, thinking of what I want for lunch...
"Hmmm...I guess soup sounds good...or chicken quesadilla?"...

I am skipping happily down to the cafe while the sun is finally beaming after a cold morning. I then stop and talk to a co-worker for few minutes. "Eh...I have time, it's only 1:30pm," I think to myself.

WHO CLOSES THE CAFE AT 1:30pm?!?!?!?

Much to my disapointment, everything was closed. They only thing I was able to buy was an orange juice and sun chips...blahhh...

I'm hungry.

Did I Mention I HATE STIFF NECKS?

Blahhhh

I HATE STIFF NECKS!

So I've been having issues, and I don't know whether it has to do with my mental state or what, but I've been having issues.

So two nights ago, I didn't sleep well and woke up with a stiff neck. I HATE STIFF NECKS! You are so uncomfortable the WHOLE day and can barely turn your neck! You are constantly reminded that a muscle or nerve is stuck and there is nothing you can do about it. And with all that going on, you can't enjoy or concentrate on anything you are doing :(

I had enough, so that night I went to bed thinking, "Ok, I'll just sleep on my painful side and everything will be O...K..." And "I get a free eggroll!" (Mr. Chau's ...blah, I'll explain later if you don't get it)
Yea, that was the night before...I STILL WOKE UP WITH A STIFF NECK! So then yesterday while sitting at my desk I tried hitting myself on certain points of my shoulders and arms. "Why?" you may ask?

Well...ehehehe...well Watson my friend, because I remember my massage therapist told me one time that I you trick your nerves somehow by tapping on some points, you will find that you can relax that muscle that is tense.
Which brings me to last night...UH OH HOT DOG! Did I tap the wrong muscles?? I still have a stiff neck, and when I woke up this morning, I felt like I can't even move my neck both ways!!

I HATE STIFF NECKS!!! I want the stiff neck fairy to come over and pixie dust this away!

And now I even have a headache! Did I mention I HATE STIFF NECKS!!??

Does Poo follow me?

So I'm having my morning tea and I started thinking for some odd reason about poo.

Why do things always have to happen to me??? Tell me why *_*
One night at Cheesecake Factory, I walk into a restroom stall that I had picked out of a total of 6 to be the cleanest to go to. Only to see (once I begin my small business) a piece of poo on the floor. Blaeeeckkkkkkkkkk....!!!! WHY??? WHY ME???

The other day, I go to the gym, looking around for a clean treadmill to use, I pick 1 out of the 5 that are there...attempt to put down my water bottle and keys...only to find a black piece of poo in the cup holder! Blaeeeckkkkkkkk!!!!!!

I wanna gag thinking about it!!

So it leads me to my question...Does Poo Follow Me?

Maybe I should buy the lottery, I find Lucky Sh*t...

What the...

So this was the weirdest thing...
I went to lunch with my coworkers today, carpooled with my coworker that had just bought a brand new Range Rover.
We parked on the street (parallel parked) thinking that it would be better to avoid door dings. Aahahhahaha...oh boy...

We came back from lunch only to find her car like this...


Ok...So not thaaaaat bad, I'm exaggerating :D But the guy's head of the car was shoved right underneath her car! The crazy part is that he just left it there and walked off to lunch!
So we did the only thing that a good Samaritan would do, call the police! AHAHAHA

There was a small dent under her bumper, and we noticed that his car had a scratch too. We waited till the police came. They said they could follow this as a hit and run, and even measure that car's rear end to the end of the curb (the back was sticking out into the driveway behind it)so they could give him a ticket for illegal parking.

However, the guy and his friend came back...and very calmly and said "hello officers, how are you doing?" OMG did they have any clue??

Then, the guy even said that he doesnt think he did that because they didnt hear anything :O and that it probably scratched when we sat into the car and pulled off!!!

DO WE LOOK 500 lbs!!?!??! Granted I did gain some weight...but not like that!!
I wanted to say "Uhm, I think this happened when you got out of your car! Oh smart one!"

Weird people, I swear!

MEEEEEE....

So this is what I discovered about myself today (thanks Christelle!)

Your Birthdate: May 10

Independent and dominant, you tend to be the alpha dog in most situations. You're very confident, and hardly anything ever shakes you. Mundane tasks tend to drain you - you prefer to be making great plans. You are quite original. When people don't "get" you, it bothers you a lot. Your strength: Your ability to gain respect Your weakness: Caring too much what others think Your power color: Orange-red Your power symbol: Letter X Your power month: October

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Our people are getting FAT!

How weird is that??? Aren't us Chinese people supposed to be small and petite? (well....excluding...ehmmm...errrr)
Are we eating too many McNuggets??

HONG KONG - Nearly one in every five of China's more than 1.3 billion people are overweight or obese and the problem is getting worse among children, especially boys, according to a study.

The study, to be published in the Aug. 19 issue of the British Medical Journal, found that 10 million children from the ages of 7 to 18 were overweight in 2000, up 28 times from 1985.

Four million children were obese in that same age group in 2000, four times more than in 1985.

So I've started leaving work for lunch...

Wow...phenomenal concept.

So I'm starting to get use to this option of actually leaving my desk and going out for a meal thing. Surprisingly, I like it. Fresh air, smell the roses, and get McDonalds for lunch!!! Wahhhhh...I broke out in 2 pimples b/c of that stupid food! There goes my work out last night. I basically negated my workout with my meal.

I've managed to wake up today and get to work with sore thighs, sore butt, and sore legs...for a 6 piece chicken nugget! The glories of life...ahhhh...

Do you Remember this?!!!

I LOVED Heathcliff!!! ehehehehe

I'm pretty pan ahahahahhahaha

Ok, one more. Here are the results:

Oh...next...too funny

Ok...I love, YouTube!

(This is only for the Cantonese speakers out there...)

So I was watching this...I think the people around me are wondering why I'm laughing by myself.

How sad, this is the highlight of my day...

We Won!!!!

So finally...after all the anticipation we WON!

bleack...how lame...they could've had the decency to post a video window. Doesn't have to be big. A link to a link...how lame :p (3rd link under contest winners)

Well, at least we won

Pfttt...Adam Sandler offical site

It's all about Zidane

I'm a soccer observer...meaning I watch whenever, not really avid. I only get excited if there are people to watch it with, and if there may be alcohol involved.

But man...I feel sorry for the Italian team that won. All the headlines are about Zidane! Oh well...

At this point it's all "he said she said" What a way to end a career...

I think he should have just kicked him, why risk injury to your head? :D


I'm sorry but no regrets - Zidane

Zidane has spoken about his sending-off for the first time
Zinedine Zidane has apologised for his headbutt on Italian defender Marco Materazzi in Sunday's World Cup final.

But the French legend does not regret his actions, alleging on television that Materazzi provoked him by insulting both his mother and sister.

"It was inexcusable. I apologise," said the 34-year-old Zidane. "But I can't regret what I did because it would mean that he was right to say all that."


WHAT WAS SAID?
BBC Radio Five Live asked a deaf lip reader to read Materazzi's words phonetically to an Italian translator:
She deciphered the insult as being "you're the son of a terrorist whore"
The BBC's Ten O'Clock News called in experts to study the television footage who said:
Materazzi told Zidane to "calm down" before accusing him of being a "liar" and wished "an ugly death to you and your family". This was followed by "Go f*** yourself"

Materazzi said: "I held his shirt, for only a few seconds. He turned towards me and scoffed at me, looking at me with super arrogance, up and down.

"He said 'if you really want my shirt, you can have it later'. It's true, I shot back with an insult."

Fifa is to investigate Zidane's sending-off and president Sepp Blatter has hinted the France star could be stripped of the Golden Ball award he won after being voted the best player in the World Cup by journalists.

Zidane said he planned to defend himself in the Fifa investigation into his sending off.

He also confirmed that he would not go back on his decision to quit the game.

"This is a decision I have made and I will not go back on it," he said. "This is definite. I will not play again."

I'm so jealous!!!! Someone is traveling more than I am!!!

I never thought I would be editing throughout the night outside of school...

So back in college I was used to editing throughout the night and loosing track of time on projects...

So a bunch of decided to work on this video contest for the movie Click. The topic is "what would you do if you had the universal remote?"

I guess I have forgotten how fun this stuff could be...I'm running on 3 hours of sleep, downing caffine, and trying to be productive today....

Full House...again...ahahahahah...AJA AJA Fighting!

Full House

In light of the World Cup spirit...

I guess I could never be a Monk...

Cambodian Monks Given Permission to Watch World Cup...Quietly
By VOA News 12 June 2006

The chief of Cambodia's 40,000 Buddhist monks says his charges can watch the World Cup - but they have to be quiet about it.

Supreme Patriarch Non Ngeth said that, ideally, monks shouldn't watch television, but modern technology and the popularity of the World Cup makes the games hard to avoid.

However, Non Ngeth has imposed some restrictions. Betting on matches is strictly forbidden. And monks shouldn't cheer out loud, because that would violate the serenity they try to cultivate. Non Ngeth told the Associated Press, "Cheering or screaming while watching TV are acts appropriate for children. Monks may not act like that."

This may be a case of life imitating art. In 1999, Tibetan monk Khyentse Norbu directed a comedy film about the attempts of some youthful monks to watch the World Cup in their mountain monastery. The film "Phorpa" became an international hit.

What a Mom...

I know she gets talked about too much...but it's disturbing when a toddler gets a fractured skull for falling out of his highchair, head slumped in a car seat, and almost falling out of his mother's arms...Is there a pattern I sense here?

Oops! She did it again.Britney Spears’ parenting skills are once again being scrutinized after she nearly dropped her son Sean Preston on a concrete sidewalk. The pregnant pop star was leaving the Ritz Carlton hotel in New York City on Thursday holding a drink in her right hand and her eight-month-old child in her left arm.As she made her way to a waiting vehicle, Spears stumbled and almost dropped baby Sean, whose head fell back, sending his tiny cap to the ground.Spears was later seen in a restaurant breaking down in tears.Earlier this year, Spears’ first child with husband Kevin Federline was treated in hospital for a skull fracture after he fell out of a highchair. More recently, Spears was criticized for driving in her convertible with Sean strapped into a baby seat facing forward.

Grrrr...need to finish....

So I have one more day to finish Da Vinci Code the book! I'm on chapter 92...just a few more to go!

Geez, this has taken me awhile...I guess it hard to read in between sleep, work and shopping :D

Happy Beefday to Me!!!!!

Wow, it's so hard turning 21.... :D Now what am I gonna do with my life? I can finally drink, go to clubs, and rent a car without paying extra (oh wait, that's 25). Eh, whatever, 21 or 25 same thing!

I hope I get cake today, so far it has been pretty much on the DL with lots of calls...they love me, they really do love me (applause)

Dilema, if I go out to dinner tonight I will miss an all new LOST, how tragic ;p

So did she win?

Wow...What is up with all that Fuss!?

So after everyone ranting and raving about this book, and now that the pressure is on that the movie is coming out...I finally decided that I would crack open this book and see what the fuss is all about.
Wow...so I decided I will read at lunch since I have fewer lunch buddies these days :( poor meeee...

This is better than a movie. I love historical stories, references, and connections. This book brings it together with suspense! I could hardly put this book down. The last time I was this hooked I read Les Miserables...
On the other hand, I'm not sure if making a movie out of The Dav Vinci Code will be a great idea. Movies usually don't do the book any justice. (I was totally disapointed with Les Miserables the musical after reading the book, what a rip off).

Gosh, so if you haven't read this, READ IT (it may spoil the movie for you though ahahhaha). If you choose not to just play the game and win cool prizes....ahahahhaha

Play the Da Vinci Code Game by Google

I better get goin...I need to hurry and finish this book before the movie opens!?! Yikes...

Dog Fest....

I hope my blog does not become a dog fest...

But I had to post this one, my brother's friend's dog.
This would probably be way too small for me, and I would be scared of stepping on it. But it is so cute too! It's like a stuffed animal...

24 Lives On!

Wow, I must say that I'm pretty influential...for TV shows that is...hee hee.

So last year I managed to convince my co-worker whom hated the show Desperate Housewives to watch it, get hooked, and let it become many topics of our gossip chat during the day.

I got a friend hooked on Lost last year, and now we have "Lost Night" every Wednesday.

So I couldn't disapoint myself and go on without influencing someone with 24...muahahahah
Since I got hooked on it 2 years ago when a friend told me she watched the first season the whole weekend without leaving the house, I was curious, watched it, and was hooked ever since. Now, I have hooked my friend in watching this cool bean show. Is Jack Bauer invincible or what!? LOL
So now the show has decided that Jack will not die for at least another 72 hours, making him the richest person that works for only 3 more days in the next two years. You gotta love Jack.

On a lighter note, isn't my friend's dog so cutteeeee?!?!?!?

Great Bedtime Story

So this was a wonderful bedtime story that was told to me last night. The topic was, "what ugly weather we are having lately".

This led to "the entire world is gonna die in 50 years".

Since as far as I could remember, I knew that global warming was an issue. As a kid, we were told not to use aerosol hairspray as that depletes the ozone layer, save the rain forest, don't burn garbage (although if I did that would be gross), recycle, cars emit carbon dioxide that is bad for the air, save the Earth's resources...These taught habits still kick in as I find myself not even using hairspray, recycling, and trying to make the conscious decision not to use disposable chopsticks that would deplete the rainforest, and carpooling when possible. I was sure most people would do the same.

So how has mankind managed to slowly kill ourselves over the short time frame of a little over 2 decades? I did little digging...Googled it...I'm even more scared... (Poor Polar Bear).
Due to our constant build up, and I am sure the United States has a huge part to do with this, we are very quickly killing off ourselves and our home.
My wonderful bedtime story was if the ice caps melt at its current rate, our sea level will continue to rise up around 23 ft. This means that cities from London to Los Angeles will be submerged under water. Geez...
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/04/0408_040408_greenlandicemelt.html

Have we as the human race become so self-centric that we don't see that we need to make a difference? Or is there anything we can do at all? Is my little participation on not using the hairspray, recyling, carpooling, don't burn trash (eheheheh...I like that one)...enough?

How would I ever look the next generation in the eye and tell them, "well, we were just so into ourselves we never noticed". How would I ever answer to my child?

Freakin out here everyone...

So I have decided to print this out in my cube and make sure I will do my part (yes, I need pretty pictures)
http://www.epa.gov/globalwarming/kids/difference.html

I encourage everyone to do the same and don't let the Polar bears or us die!

Friday the 13th

Wow...Friday the 13th marks the day that I finally update my blog. Scary...

This is the place where I want to be after all the chaos today...and now my headache is catching up to me. I just want to toss all my paperwork and emails and say "forget you!"

Now back to reality....ahahahhahahah

On the bright side...Happy New Year! I know I am 13 days late, but better late than never.
I promised myself that I would head to the gym starting the New Year...that has yet to happen. I swear, next week! It's too cold out.eheheheh

Anyway, need to get cracking on the paperwork...bye!
