That's what I'm talking about...

Last night, after work, I felt great being on treadmill and in class. I felt every part of my muscles and I am feeling it now. LOL. I am getting things back in the swing of it. And the next thing I need to get the step on is on my THESIS. I need to focus.

It's cold as ice out today and I hope everyone is warm. I'd rather this weather more than the rain and snow. But fluffy snow is okay.

It's ON!!!

Today is the first day back to the gym. As Borat would say, "I'm EXCITE!!!" lol... We shall see. Yesssir. I can't wait to be on treadmill and in a Latin Impact class. It's kind of sad because I was looking at the schedule and I can only catch that class on Tuesday. =( Anyways...let me just concentrate on the happiness that I WILL BE BACK IN THE GYM. YES!!!! I want to be looking SLAMMIN' by April but if it happens earlier than that who am I to argue with that. =)

Sometimes...people are...

...and that is all I have to say.

Happy 35th!!!

...to the best parents I could ever asked for... I love you May May and Daddy.

Weekend Recollection 12/5 - 12/6

Saturday...

I had to get up early to take my mom to Brooklyn monastery. Then headed back home just in time to meet up with Shonda for long over due catch up time. We went to the gym first so I can get my gym affairs in order. I had to unfreeze my account and she wanted to join. After that we went to Roosevelt Field Mall to look at things. We had our eyes make over at the MAC counter and left to Red Lobster for dinner. We had a great catch up time. I haven't seen her since March. I will be seeing her more since we will be at the same gym.

Sunday...

My parents invited me out to have lunch with them for their anniversary. We went to this Thai Restaurant...it was so delicious. We had a great time.

Overall, it was a great weekend. I am happy I did everything I love. I know I wasn't going to do the weekend recollections anymore but I didn't get to blog on the actual day and I didn't want to miss blogging the moments that I enjoyed. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

I've decided!!!

I think I am going to either write daily or not write at all. I don't want to do the weekend thing anymore. I sometimes don't do anything exciting for me to write about so why write something when there's nothing happening. So I will only write when the writing flow comes through on top of my cabeza to the tip of my fingers. ;-)

Tiger Woods...

...I just wish people would stop talking about this. I don't condone what he did and it is unacceptable in my book but it sure is annoying to hear or read. Oh my, let me stop writing about it. Does anyone realize the troops will be sent overseas???

When Sadness & Madness collide...

....there is a RANDOMNESS!

~ I wish I dream about my grandmother so I can see her one last time again...my cousin and mom dreamed about her, and now they make me feel like grandma doesn't appear in my dreams because she is upset that I didn't get to see her before she passed. Last time I saw her was in 2003 and she passed in 2007.

~ Work is actually having Christmas party this year. We skipped last year so I wasn't expecting this year at all.

~ I need a change and I am actually going through the process right now. Revamping myself for 2010.

~ 15th can't come soon enough. It's a back to the gym day, pay day and anything and everything else day. LOL!

~ I hated that my dad was asking me where I was last night to pick me up and I couldn't tell where I was because I had no idea which way Jamaica Avenue was located and he didn't know where Jamaica Hospital was. Both of us didn't know where we were. That was pure and full throttle frustration for me. FAILED!!! BTW, that hospital was the most unorganized and ghetto place I have ever seen in hospital. I was horrified.

~ People must think I entertain DRAMA because even when I am running the other direction, they follow. I must have entertained it when I was much younger but not anymore.

~ I am starting to wonder why I have FaceBook and twitter accounts. They create problems.

~ I really can't stand people who portray themselves for what they are not. Now I feel like it's all a front.

~ I know that I am being judged from my blog but whatever. I don't think my blog can define me as a whole.

~ When all things else failed, I will still and always have my family.

~ After thoughts after thoughts last night, I told myself I am not going to let people take advantage of me and my kindness, and won't let things bother me.

I hope everyone is having a great day in this FORKS weather.

Unexpected...

...yesterday was the last day of November in 2009. A friend of mine from the past called and she and I went to have dinner and drinks. So it kind of took my blues away. I haven't seen her in years. I enjoyed my night out even though it was on Monday...living dangerously, I know. LOL.

I can't believe we are in the last month of the year. Where did the time go? I got plans for 2010. Everything is in process. I can't wait for everything to fall into places.

Weekend Recollections 11/28 - 11/29

Saturday...

The whole day was not productive at all. But I guess I knew that since I got up. I just needed one of those days. I was lazy and fully rested.

Sunday...

I got up and cleaned my room. I did all the laundry and took a shower and got ready for work. I couldn't believe I was preparing for work. LOL. I was feeling emotional and a bit down. I guess it could happen when I started thinking about things.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I hate being asked...

"are you seeing anyone?"...

Well...you know that's the question that I get whenever I go around the family or people that I haven't seen or spoken to in ages. "Yes, I am fine...How are you?" ::smh::

Yesterday was thanksgiving day. I had a day off, Woohoo!!! But I am at work today. ::frown:: I wish I can go do the Black Friday thing instead I am having Friday blues...

I was watching Beyonce's show in Vegas on ABC last night. It was a pretty good segment. While I was watching it, it had me thinking about LOVE. I respect the love that Jay-Z & Beyonce share. They are very on the low of their relationship and marriage. I mean two people can be in love and there is no need to be all public about it. They are not hiding or denying their love for each other but they just don't talk about it. He does what he has to do and so does she. I want that kind of love. I envy their love. It's not a hip hop thing nor the white thing, black thing, asian thing or spanish thing, it's just the LOVE THING. And I want that!!! And the reason I am not in anything right now is because I would not settle for less. Everyone has their standards. I have been through so much in the past and I have given/taken so much that when I start a relationship in the future, I will be ready for that person. I am preparing and renewing myself for an improvement. There is always room for an improvement, I believe.

And the future awaits...

Weekend Recollection 11/20 - 11/22

Friday...

This was the longest work day ever. I couldn't wait to get home. Well not home so much although I love HOME, what's coming after when I get home was very very exciting. I was meeting the girls to watch "The Twilight Saga : New Moon". Tickets were bought in advance by a friend and she's taking me to see this with her friends. Even with the tickets we had to stand on line to get in for 10 minutes shy of 2 hours. We had people bribing and wanting to be a part of us so they can cut the line. The movie was AWESOME. After the movie, the girls persuaded me to read the books so I can fully enjoy the saga. So I am thinking about it. I met 8 people prior to the movie and the group dynamic was awesome. I've been people with so much drama so I enjoyed this group to the fullest.

Before heading home, I had my coworker begging to have a drink with her so I agreed to it. ::smh:: I had a drink since the meet up time for the movie was 30 minutes earlier than the time set up initially.

Saturday...

I had plans to go to the movie with my cousin but it got cancelled. I was just having that kind of day. But I did have a blockbuster night with mommy and cousin. The movies were funny, "The Proposal" & "Vicky Christina Barcelona".

Sunday...

My cough was still lingering so I didn't go to the birthday party for a one year old. I didn't want bunch of mothers after me for getting all their babies sick. I took a trip to Barnes & Noble. I love bookstores. I didn't do my laundry or any cleaning this weekend. I have Turkey day for it. :-)

Don't Judge Me!!! LOL.

How Far Do You Let People In?

Once in a while I think about how intimate I should get on my blog. There is a list of blogs I read on the daily basis. The list varies with different topics. I also read blogs which reveal lots of personal things. I still haven't found my niche in the blog world but I know that I don't want to get too personal. There is always possibilities of becoming friends with fellow bloggers then it would be my choice if I want to let people in my life or not. One thing I always know what not to do, I don't judge the book by the cover although I pretty much have keen senses on peoples' characteristics. But I am getting the feeling that I am being judged by my blog. Oh wells. I can't please everyone. Have a great day!!!

Weekend Recollection 11/13 - 11/15

Friday...

The longest work day ever... The rain had to come for the weekend. UGH! But I guess, whatever! I mean nothing that an umbrella couldn't fix. It is what it was. But the only thing annoyed me was when it rains, we get train problems. I don't know why but we just do. So I had a long ride home hopping on more trains then I needed to. Then dad did the honor and picked me up from Flushing. Thank you Daddy! And please tell me why the ex was calling me like it was okay for him to call me.

Saturday...

I was coughing my lungs out the whole day. I hate this season for this reason alone. I get this horrible cold and it won't go away. I did some cleaning and went to CVS to get some medicine for the cough that won't go away.

Sunday...

I was going to go out but I decided to stay in to do the laundry and some more cleaning. A friend of mine from FL BBMed me and I was sorta surprised for the fact that we had a long meaningful conversation over it. One of the topic he asked was why I am not sharing myself out there. LOL. So I told him this...dude, I do go out and the last time I went out, I got hit on by the marrieds, the taken and the NON-English speakers. That right there was no win situation. Anyways...he gave me some encouraging words like I was in depression which I am not. I am practically happy with my life right now. Things can always get better and there is always a room for an improvement. Anywho, good BBM conversation overall and I ended my night with some Wanda Sykes.

I had a great weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed theirs.

What Do I Really Want???

I have been sitting here thinking about what's really been going on with me. I feel like I am drifting away from myself. Then I realized I am reforming/restructuring myself. I want to be ready when I am in the next relationship. Dudes come at me and all I am doing is like be nice about it and then I keep it moving. I need more than appearance. I need someone who I can have a real conversations for hours and they mean something. Is that too much to ask for???

So...this morning, I was on the subway as I would be like any other week day. There was a guy who was throwing smiles my way like I am a rock star. So not to be rude or anything, I smiled back. I have this mean mug on every time I am on the public transportation because there are crazies out there. Ha! Anyways, I guess that smile must have encouraged him to walk up to me. Whatever! So he said hello and I said hi. There is nothing wrong with that until he started saying bunch of things and I had no idea what he was saying because his accent was so strong. Trust me, I migrated from other continent so I understand how accents can be. But what I didn't understand was why he needed to tell me I was beautiful like 10 times in a minute and homeboy had nothing else to say. I mean I gave him a chance to throw something my way to have me interested with a conversation that would have started with other things like do you work around here, what do you do...anything except for me being beautiful. I thanked him and went about my business. O and that didn't end there, he wanted my number. WHY??? Dude, do you actually have something to say? I hardly understand you. I don't know. The thing that worry me the most is I do not want to see him again at the station. If I do, I will say I have a man. :::SMH:::

Weekend Recollection 11/7 - 11/8

Saturday...

I stayed in bed for a long time because I had the worst headache of all hit me like there was no tomorrow. Then I got up to help my mom for lunch/dinner. We ate and I had to lay back down because I honestly thought my quarterly migraine was visiting me. UGH! But when I got up I felt so much better. I took a shower to wake myself up more and then my parents called to see if I wanted to go to the strip where they had stores with them, perfect timing, so they can pick me up. Great! I was ready when they got me and then we ended up staying at the strip until the stores closed. Then I headed to UNOs. I had the usual... 2 Margaritas, 1 Malibu Pineapple and a shot of Jack! I couldn't drink more since I was recovering from a migraine but the most important thing was NYC blues were all over the place. I'd like to keep my license. ;-) BBM with Jill a bit, watched some shows and was out like a light!

Sunday...

I did the 3 hours of mall walking and it was very liberating. No one to worry about. I went into stores, checked out things and bought what I needed. No need to wait for anyone. I got home and did the laundry.

Although I didn't do much, I had a great weekend. I hope everyone had a great one as well.

We are the Champions... NY Yankees 27th Championship!!!

Nuff said!!!

Ummm YUM!

So I was getting ready this morning and catching up with Monday Wendy show. And this was who I saw as her guest on Monday, MARK SALLING! What an eye candy! So he plays a character on Glee. I don't watch that show but damn he is fine. Anyways...it's always great starting my day off with such beauty. Thank you, Wendy!!!

*Sidenote* I published my first video on YouTube. It's my first video so it's such a raw material but what the hey. I have to start somewhere.

Weekend Recollection 10/30 - 11/1

Friday...

I wasn't feeling good at work all day and I couldn't wait to run home. I was beat. When I got home, I was in my bed under the blankets. I took some Aleve and I was straight to call it a Saturday.

Saturday...

Happy Halloween!!!
My dad woke me up for a good deal I couldn't pass on for the brakes for my car. I did the rear breaks along with the rotors. *ching ching* I intended to do the laundry...the secret word...INTENDED..., but didn't happen. I stayed home sick and handed out candies. I decided to participate in the Halloween festivities next year! The Yankees did great.

Sunday...

I did the laundry, Zumba, took a shower, more laundry and did the Walgreens run. And yes all in that order. The Yankees did great again with a little heart attack they tried to give me. Dammit Yankees. But it's all good. I enjoyed both game days.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Right now...

1. It's very annoying that it's raining in NY again.

2. I am very disappointed that I haven't had a meaningful conversation in awhile. (mental stimulation is a must)

3. I really don't understand why the past don't like to stay there. There is a reason why it's the past.

4. I never knew I was a girly girl. Although I am still not one of those who are afraid to break a nail.

5. I watch and can talk about sports with guys. I guess that makes me not a full blown girly girl. LOL!

6. I need to get away with a total stranger I trust. (where would I find one of those?, HA!)

7. I get bored easily with boring people who think they are so interesting.

8. I love my family.

9. Thinking very heavy on making a vlog on youtube. (should I or shouldn't I?)

10. The last time I read Cosmo was in July. (I have to catch up with my subscription. ::SMH::)

11. I need to get back on Zumba and my thesis.

12. I want to see Tyler Perry's "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" and "Law Abiding Citizen".

13. I need a "Reggie Bush" in my life.

14. I miss my long hair, but I manage with my whatever length now. WHATEVER!

15. I am content, not too sure it's a good thing or bad thing but for now it is what it is.

16. I want "Crab Shanty" from City Island. Those crab legs are so long over due. lol.

I hope everyone is having a great day.

Weekend Recollection 10/24 - 10/25

Saturday...

It rained the whole day it was sickening. Dad told me to take mom to Macy's while he cooked so there we went including my cousin and we came back so late. But dinner was ready when we got back. I love those kind of days. I basically caught up with all my shows on DVR so I was happy about that.

Sunday...

I woke up with a headache. UGH! I meant to do laundry today but I didn't get to do it. I just relaxed and I am glad I did. I enjoyed the Yankees. They were the best way to shut down my weekend!!! Yes we are going to the world series. I am uber excited.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Did I need the retail therapy?

.....Every morning I get ready for work, I either have to put on the TV or the radio to get in the mood. Anyways...I digress like there is no tomorrow so putting on either/or doesn't help me. ::shrug:: So after I hopped out of the shower, I decided to put on the TV and the newsman on NY1 said something about how they will make the then club, the Limelight, into the Limelight Market. The news showed the progress of the place and it brought me back so much memories. That was the first club I've been to back in High School. Although I don't remember much, I remember being the responsible one and looked out for all of us who went that night. I like the market idea and I think I will definitely check it out when it's on the up and up in Spring 2010.

I am feeling a bit girly today. Maybe changing the nail polish color (Pink Parfait) last night while watching the Yankees. And I am wearing pink and black. I am definitely feeling girly today. I went to Claire's to get some accessories during lunch. I had 2 apples and water for lunch. All of those I did during lunch without anyone was such a great idea. I didn't feel as if I need to check with someone if they wanted to stop by a store with me or not. I felt so free and happy. I needed to feel that way.

Have a juicy day...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Right Here Right Now

I don't want to be in a relationship but I do want to be in-like. It would be some what of a cute thing if I have someone that I want to be around to call upon on to do whatever. I do miss being able to trust someone that I can fall asleep in their arms. I just realized I am not so sure what I exactly want at this moment but I can definitely say I am missing something. I think I got the blues.

2009 VH1 Hip Hop Honors Show

I dvr-ed it although I know they will replay it again and again on VH1. I finally saw it on Sunday. It was great hearing all the songs from back in the days and I enjoyed it to the max. I know I might be a little too late on this but DAMN!, that boy up there is so fine. I am not into pants down on the ass but I can't discredit him for that. *wink* Yes I see you, Trey! And that is all I gotta say. YUM!

Weekend Recollection 10/16 - 10/18

Friday...

Even though I worked for 3 days the week, I needed the weekend like the next dude on the street. As soon as I got home, I took my nail polish off thinking I can do my nails for the baby shower but I was occupied with stuff (I still don't remember what they were) so I didn't get to do it. I saw the Yankees on TV and I had a blast. The boys played well.

Saturday...

I got up to get ready for the baby shower. Then I got a BBM asking me if I had any plans meeting up with people. I had no problem meeting up with anyone but not when I have to go out of my way to meet those people up to pick them up. What the hell was that? Okay so what I am about to say/type is going to make me look like a bitch but right about now I really don't care. I have been in many situations where people have offer me/my services to themselves. I mean let me have my own choice, let me do the offering. Don't plan among each other and make me feel like if I was stupid and oblivious to what was going on. I hate it. I got so annoyed I was to the point I didn't even want to go anymore. Since I made plans to go and I got the gift already, I went. I stayed for a bit and I left. The shower was ok. It wasn't universal at all. It was for all Spanish speaking folks. Non-Spanish speaking folks like me felt like someone has dropped me off in D.R.. It was all good. I went out, I had fun and I headed home. I watched the playoff and the boy did it again.

Sunday...

I was waken up rudely by nature (and no I didn't pee in my bed, it's female issues, LOL). I had to get up wash my sheets and take the shower. In a way, I finished my chores early and I spent time with my parents. We all sat in the living room and talked. I don't remember when was the last time we did that. I loved it. I went to sleep early for a change even then it was at 12 am mark. *smh* And guess what??? I didn't hear a peep from those heffas who wanted a ride from me on Saturday.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Weekend Recollection 10/9 - 10/13

Friday...

I was pretty excited to get home, pack my stuff and be on my merry way to VA. I made plans with my cousins so I was looking forward to it. We got to VA so late. But I guess that was expected if you leave anywhere at 7:30 and the trip takes at least 5 hours to get there.

Saturday...

Happy Birthday Kyi Kyi. My aunt's birthday and she threw a birthday party for her. Then after that I went to the outlets with my cousins and then headed to Burmese restaurants after that we went to Bestbuy because I have a tech bug in me and I had to scratch that itch. LOL. But I didn't get anything. But I got myself sunglasses from the outlet. My dad had his reunion so my parents were there while I was rampaging Walmart. I secretly love that store. I bought shampoos & conditioners, leg warmers and nail polishes.

Sunday...

I stayed in bed late then had lunch. And I packed while I sang my heart out on Karaoke. My uncle seemed to enjoyed it. LOL. Then we headed out to NY. As much as I had fun and didn't want to leave, I can't wait to get home.

Monday...

It's Columbus day! Federal holiday so the bank are closed. Yay for me. So I vegged out in bed.

Tuesday...

I took a day off. The very last day of my sick/personal days of the year. So I enjoyed it to the fullest. I went out with my mom to get a baby shower gift for Saturday.

Sometimes I Forget...

First day back to work. I took a day off but combined with the Columbus day and the weekend, I had the total of 4 days off. I was in heaven until I got back to work today. Ugh just UGH! I literally had to do two days work on top of the mistake they made, the auditors had questions, and all of the sudden no one knows how to do anything. I was thinking how did they all survive without me. I worked straight from the time I got in which was at 8:45 until 4:45. They had me working there like I was a street walker. *smhh* I have a headache. I need a bear hug.

Mom's first day back to work also.

Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with SprintSpeed

LOL...

Hahaha...isn't that the cutest thing? My little cousin and his first try with the ladies. So adorable.

I felt so used...

...AND IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!

I leave people behind when I feel I was being taken for granted. Even then I was kind enough and I let my guard down.

~ background ~

I used to go to High School with this girl...let's call her Diva. Ha! She has the diva attitude but her look, not so much. She always made me feel like she wants to do things with me and talk to me when she has nothing to do. I know everyone is that way in one way or another but she makes it so obvious. But anyways, she is now married and I guess she is having problems with her husband. So she called me on Sunday while I was busy with my family but I still entertained her with her problems because I felt bad. She is one of those people who thinks marriage can fix and change a person. What a mistake!

so yesterday...she called and she wanted to see if I wanted to meet up after work (she is not working right now), and I said yes since she is having problems. But guess what the chick did??? She left me hanging, while we were at the store after she paid, when her husband called.

WHATEVER!!!

Weekend Recollection 10/3 - 10/4

Saturday...

I was rudely interrupted out of my sleep into cleaning and setting up beds for 5 family members that were on their way from VA. After that I took a shower knowing I wouldn't be able to when they arrived. They finally got to the house around 1 and we all had lunch together and headed to the Burmese concert at BMCC. I saw the concert in MD back in September but I had to see it again. (yes, I enjoyed it that much!) But the public transportation on the weekend was craziness. After the concert, we headed to Chinatown for dinner with a couple of arguments here and there. We got home at 2 in the morning...

Sunday...

Pretty much chilled and went to have brunch at Saigon Grill. And we headed to Flushing to do some shopping for VA and to have shaved ice desserts. YUM! Then we all just relaxed and watched taped concert with my parents who didn't go.

I had a blast this weekend with some arguments with the family. I was so upset I cried. I hate it when I cry. Things get out of control and the minute I didn't check my emotions, there comes the tears. Don't get me wrong, I don't cry easily but I was pushed to the limit.

New Love...

Sooooo pretty. I thought I was going to look whorish but I look nice. LOL...yes my own opinion counts with me 150%. :-)

Have a good weekend everyone.

The Devil is in Chinese form...UGH!

So yesterday, I had it out with "The Chinese". He got on the last piece of my nerve and that was it. I was done. I shouldn't have let him have the best of me. "The Chinese" is the newcomer at the work place. What had happened was (lol, every time I start the conversation like that I have to laugh) I gave him some paperwork for him to sign. Instead of him returning all my paperwork, the devil gave him to someone else. When I asked him, he replied, "I don't know what you do". I was fumed. I mean yes that should be reasoned enough for you to return all my paperwork and not to someone else. WTF. Was I wrong for being mad? UGH just UGH!

I shouldn't let him stress me out at work. It's just work. Not my life...it's just a part of my life. So I exhaled and calmed down. I need a drink! Anyways...on the positive note, I have a new follower. Yay for me. Wow...I have 2 now.

*Side note - I have lots of Chinese friends and I am Southeast Asian. I am not trying to be racist but UGH!

Do you still have an account?

So...I had an aim chat with this dude yesterday. And there was no hello or hi or how are you.

Him: Are you ok?

Me: Yea, why?

Him: Are you still on Facebook and Twitter?

Me: Yes I am.

Him: I c

Him: Did you delete me?

Me: Yes I did.

*awkwardly ended the chat by the dude*

I do the summer/fall/winter/spring cleaning on those accounts. I am not on there for the popularity contest so I delete people that are on the list for I don't know what. *shrug* The problem with this dude was he feels the need to know what the hell is going on in my life. Yes granted that I am on those things because I got no shame in my game and it's for everyone once you go online. But in my defense, my accounts are private. I am mainly on there for family and I play FB games. *embarrassed* Anyways, if there is a new tweet or status go up instead of him commenting or whatever, he privately asks me. And when he has his status or tweets up and if anyone comments or replies, he deletes them. WTF! So, yes I deleted him.

With that said, GOOD DAY DUDE!!!

To Snoop or Not To Snoop?

In every relationship, there is a bit of curiosity. Now it depends on a person whether to act on it or not. There are times people do snoop around (I know lots of people do) and find what they don't expect or expect and in the end they don't know how to approach a person depending on the findings. Personally, I don't like it when people hide things but everyone has their own rights to do so. But if you are hiding anything, things are bound to come out one way or another. So the snooper or the snoopee will be found out in the end. LOL.

So knowing all that in the back of your mind, would you still snoop? Don't get me wrong, when I was young & stupid, I was both the snooper and the snoopee (shame on me, I know), but now I know better not to even deal with anyone I can't trust.

Weekend Recollection 9/25 - 9/27

Friday...

I wanted the day to go fast. I waited for the weekend. I was sick in the middle of the week so I so looked forward to the weekend. Oh and Jill called and we met up for lunch today. This is the first time I met Jill in person and she is a sweetheart. We had lunch and then I met up with her and her friend Ian after work just to walk around until she had to catch her train back to New Rochelle.

Saturday & Sunday...

Basically I stayed home since mom's friend from L.A. was in town and stayed at the house. I did house chores and that was just about how my weekend came and went. LOL.

I know I feel like I am living an old lady life but that's what I am enjoying right now. I will be back fresh and all in October. I think. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

News Flash *I have a crush*. CUTE!

Weekend Recollection 9/18 - 9/20

~ Friday ~

4:30 couldn't come soon enough. I was covering a vacation for a department and one of them called out sick on top of it. FML! But it was all good. There were nothing I couldn't handle. I mean I didn't complain like others. I took it like a champ. Why complain when nothing will get accomplished? So I did what I got to do and ran out of there! LOL. We had a little get together after work with a coworker that left 2 weeks ago. I had a margarita, a Smirnoff and shrimp in the basket to eat. And I took LIRR to head home. That was my night. S0 PG I know but I enjoyed it. I asked dad for a favor to pick me up.

~ Saturday & Sunday ~

I stayed home, cleaned and stayed with mom.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had many thoughts on friendship. I am not too sure if I am ready to talk about it. Maybe I will blog about my thoughts on it later. I am going to have dinner with 2 acquaintances of mine at Red Lobster after work today. I think at this point I am more excited about food than the company. Am I wrong?

And Jill BBMed me the other day...I might actually meet her on Thursday. We will have lunch if she has time. Now I am excited about that.

Weekend Recollection 9/11 - 9/13

Friday...

It rained all day long. After work, cousin came by work and we trooped to the bus stop to be on our way down to VA. I was super excited. We couldn't find the bus stop but we managed. We hit a couple of traffics but we got there not too late.

Saturday...

We got up early and three of us went to MD for Great Adventure with some of my cousin's friends. We got on the JOKER JINX, RIDE OF STEEL & all the water rides in the water park. I had so much fun. After that we headed back home (VA), got ready and headed back to MD for Burmese Concert. We all had a blast. Took bunch of pictures with Burmese Singers. I don't think I would have been doing all that if I was in Burma. *smhh*

Sunday...

We planned to leave early but we ended up on the 3 P.M. ride. The bus dropped us off in Chi-town in NY nowhere near the subway spot. WHAT A BITCH!!! Anyways...we found the subway on our own and got home so late because the trains always run on weekend schedules on the weekends...DUH! LOL.

We had so much fun. VA family took care of us always. I love my family. Although mom was a little mad since we took long to get back to NY. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

R.I.P. 9/11...

...Grandfather has been gone for 13 years today. We shared the same birthday.

...Alejandro has been gone for 8 years.

...& all the innocence.

A Quick Rundown on What's in Store for MOI...

...Work couldn't finish fast enough for me.

...Heading to VA with my cousin. Be back on Sunday. (Details will soon come! Haha, that's the Jamaican in me.)

...Other blogs are giving reviews on items or educational stuff but not mine. Maybe that's why I don't have much followers. (I'm sure I have mentioned that before.)

...Most of the times, people just annoy me. My bestfriend said I shouldn't let anything bother me. I should listen but I don't.

...In need of Nintendo DSi...ok maybe not in need. I WANT IT!!!

...Still contemplating on piercing. (Maybe in October.)

...Want new tattoos.

Have a great weekend everyone. ENJOY!!!

Must Be My Lucky Day...

Guess what???

I came out of work and saw Tyson Beckford in front of my job. He was so fine. I took pictures but not with him. I got all shied up. :-(

But doesn't he look all delicious?!?!??? I took better pictures but I know myself that I would be all lazy and won't upload the pictures. I hear the boy is gay but that doesn't cancel out his good looking self.

Awww, someone is star struck!

Update on mom: She is back at home :-)

Weekend Recollection 9/3 - 9/7

I know 9/3 was not apart of the weekend but I have no choice but to include it. You will see why...

~Thursday~

I worked and came home. Of course I was looking forward to the long weekend. (Shit I waited for it since May! A bit much? I think not!!!). So I got home and found out mom had a high fever during the day when she was alone under no one's care. But she claimed she felt better but the fever came back with the vengeance. 103, WTF!!! At first, she was so cold and no color in her face. Then she was getting her color back and started to shake like a crackhead who needed crack yesteryear. I was scared to death. (Trust me, you don't want me dead!) I paged the family doctor and she YELLED at me again for not rushing my mom to ER. On previous posts, I have mentioned mom had her appendix ruptured and had an operation. So in the ER, they had a couple with concerns with her lung, pneumonia and etc... (they didn't seem to know, and they were panicking so ummm, what were my dad & I supposed to do?) Oh and since it's the second time around at the hospital, I looked! Yea I said it, I LOOKED around. (Although mom was sick and all, sorry mom, I love you.) There is no one like McDreamy nor McSteamy. It's only on the screen. They only exist in Hollywood. But there were McSoSo, McNoWay, & McHellNo! Ummm, sorry, I digress! Back to mom! So along came what she hated. She was admitted. I left the hospital at 2 AM.

~Friday~

Here came results on early morning. Mom needed another surgery. She got infections from the rupture. UGH! Poor mom! So yes the long weekend was at the hospital, practically my second home, my home away from home.

~Saturday~

My cousin came from VA to be around mom. I spent time at the hospital and my cousins & I went to have Korean BBQ. Mmmm YUM! (I wish I can get some right now.) I got to sleep at home. :-)

~Sunday~

My cousin had Indian food since I live in "Lil India" (haha), and we headed to the hospital. Then took him back to the train station. He went back to VA.

~Monday~

Labor day! No work! Yay! Hospital! Laundry! Hospital!

I hope everyone had a great long weekend. Mine was stressful but grateful mom got help and is feeling better.

Retail Therapy...

...sure does speak for itself... I took a walk to Macy's at lunch time. My main reason was to go there and get the 5465713th pair of sunglasses. I tried on the ones I thought I liked and then the sales girl tried to show me the ones that I don't see fit on me. I guess it was her job so whatever. Anyways...I didn't end up buying sunglasses but 2 rings. Do I need them? NO! Do I want them? YES!!! LOL. And it lifted my mood. MAJOR SUCCESS!!! Little things go a long way.

And the weather is wonderful outside. I wish we can have this kind of weather in NY all year long.

Wednesday Blues...

I don't know what it is lately that I have been bored out of my mind. I don't want to do anything. I feel blah. I have so many wants on top of my head that, that's when I know I am BORED.

I feel sad today. Not on anything particular but I am having that sadness running through me. No matter how busy I get at work, I find myself reading all the blogs I follow. It's like a daily ritual thing. I see some of them give advice, giving reviews, life stories and experiences they went through, their feelings and current situations and such. But here I am, I am not willing to go all the way with sharing all of me YET. But I enjoy reading others' blogs. They are very insightful. Mine is not. :-( Maybe that's why I don't have anyone reading my blog, except for JILL. Thank Buddha for her.... and thank you Jill.

Okay I hope everyone is having a better day than me. :)

Weekend Recollection 8/28 - 8/30

~ Friday ~

Somehow I didn't feel like working and I just wanted to go home. Did I have plans? NO! The thought of me being home is like better than next to NOTHING. Oh my, have I become this 80 years old. No but I am enjoying this phase of my life. Well the fact that Mom is sick and I want to be home taking care of her. Basically I stayed home and relaxed.

~ Saturday ~

I woke up and did nothing but just stayed with Mom. She needs for us to stay with her. Poor Mom. A friend of mine and her boyfriend came over and brought us food on the same day my dad and I cooked.

~ Sunday ~

It was a better day for Mom. Yay...no more sponge bath for her. I did the laundry and got myself mentally ready for the week coming.

Anything & Everything

~ I hate when there are tons of seats on the bus/train and people choose to sit next to me.

~ I don't mind the Mondays because why complain when it has been existing for the longest.

~ I want love but I am not looking for it.

~ I don't want know what I'm waiting for but I need to get cracking on my thesis.

~ I don't understand why people like to be touching strangers. Ewww!

~ I don't know why but I want a weave. LOL!

~ I want to get my face pierced also but too chicken about it because of the healing period.

That's all for now. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I forgot to charge my iPod. FML.

Can You Say Addiction???

*smhh*

I think I am done with this madison collection for this color.

It's Not Me...It's YOU...(It's Official!!!)

I am ANNOYED.

Let me say a little background on this. ...

...I used to work at this accounting place in Downtown area for a year. The involved parties I will be mentioning are "Cuban Link" & "The Yupper".

Fast forward to last night...

I recently got back in touch with CL on Facebook. So him and I have been sending comments to each other's status and walls. Anyways, here is how it all started. I saw one new message in my inbox on FB so I checked. Then it was from CL. He wanted to know if I had a BB and so I replied "yes, here is my pin # and please add me!" So with all that wrote back and forth, finally he requested me on BBM. We started BBMing each other. Then I im-ed him saying I was glad he had a BB and that I am glad we are in touch. (okay he is married and have a kid...pure platonic relationship between us). Out of nowhere, CL said well we would have been cool alot earlier if you didn't say I was getting weird out on you and you flatter yourself too much. At that point, I was in shock. Also in addition to that, he said the yupper is the one who told him that I felt he was being weird with me. I had no idea what I said to her and I will own up to what I said. But regardless if I said anything to her or not, why did she have to repeat what I said to her, about him, to him? But to make peace at it, I told CL that I don't remember what I said (which was the truth) and that if I thought he was weird I wouldn't have talked to him now.

But can you see what I'm saying? Here is what I gotta say to THE YUPPER...

That's How I Roll TUESDAY!!! (follow me...please)

I feel like I am begging...so what I guess I am...Please... :)
I hope everyone is having a good day.

Have I Gone Nuts...Or What?!?!?

I think I am possibly leaning that way...CRAZY!!!

Since I have asked my parents if I can have a puppy and they said NO to me like 6868574774557 times, here is my another approach to my continuous craziness...

Me: I think I will have a baby since I can't have a dog.
Dad: Well if you can bring IT everywhere you go then go ahead...
Me: *looked at him* (my baby will not be an IT)
Mom: Where would you leave the baby when you go to work?
Me: I will leave the baby at the day care.
Mom: You will leave the baby??? I don't feel safe.
Me: Where do you think other parents leave their babies when they go to work?

*SILENCE*

I either said something which made sense or they now officially think I AM ALL CRAZINESS AND THEN SOME!!!

LMAO!!!

Weekend Recollection 8/21 - 8/23

It seems as I am counting my weekends starting from Friday...oh wells... I think I have to do that on a certain weekend.

8/21...

I didn't want to work nor did I even want to be at work. My uncle and aunt will be in NY from VA. Well, all Virginians (all 7 of them) were supposed to be in NY this weekend. 2 of them were supposed to arrive Friday and the rest were supposed to be here on Saturday. I was happy to see my family although it's raining after work

8/22...

Early in the morning, we got a call that my uncle was in ER in VA. WTF!!! I can't take bad news anymore. Something was wrong with his heart and all of them couldn't make it to NY. It's fine that they couldn't make it but I didn't like the fact that he wasn't feeling well. So I stayed in, as I planned, except I had to take my aunt and uncle to Macy's. And then I took much needed naps several times. Mom is still not better. She has pains and doesn't want to take the pain killer. She doesn't want to be addicted to it.

8/23...

My aunt and uncle left like at 6 in the morning. I did some laundry and watched TV with my parents.

Update on my uncle...he is admitted at the hospital and he will be discharged today. He is feeling better. Dad took 2 days off to stay with mom. I am thankful. I haven't been doing much with anything lately due to mom being sick. And I am good with that. Mom comes above everything. I have been sleeping in the living room on the couch...give my room up for mom and dad since she can't go up the stairs. :-)

Anyways...I hope everyone had a great weekend and have a wonderful Monday.
