Starbucks Snob
I noticed that i have become (i am) a really mean, arrogant Starbucks drinker. I am definitely one of those that are anal about their drinks, demand (and EXPECT) for the highest quality of customer service, perfect execution of a drink for the taste to be exquisite and of course, look down at noobs.
I feel so bad but i can't helppppp itttttttt.
Anyways, here i go.another 6 hours shift to recreate a resume, CL, half a portfolio, portfolio presentation all the while fitting in some tutorials on Advance Powerpoint Presentation Techniques.
Go, go, go!

fffound

Sorry for all the fffounds and no legit blogging. Been lazy. Eventually l'll get to it!

Another Starbucks Adventure
So it was zeroooo productivity at home today that I absolutely had to drag myself to venture out to SB to get work done. Funny i've been more productive here than the combined free hours at home. Hence the break to blog this.
Let me explain the resistance in going to Starbucks so late on a Sunday afternoon. One word- packed.
i am so shameless that it hurts.
Luckily for me TWO tables freed up about 20 minutes after I hogged his table. Ran to it and got into a bit of a dillema. Observe diagram:
The green star is where the outlets are and where my power cord head needs to be. Now if i was to sit with my back against the wall (the thick line) like everybody else, the cord would cross across my laptop (across my keyboard and lap) and will kind of be floating in mid-air as it goes under the fully occupied large square table. So i thought.....why don't i just switch it up! (FYI: I'm Jigglypuff in the diagram) It works out PERFECTLY (no awkward cords floating!). Aside from the fact that now everybody can see what i am doing as they walk/lineup behind me to order at the bar (as demonstrated with the pokemons and the dotted lines represent their curious (by nature) creepish stares at my screen.) and everybody else sitting at the other tables is.....sitting the opposite way.......
MEEEEEH.
The price i will pay to not be awkward. People might object and say this is even MORE awkward with people being able to see what im doing but hey its all matters of opinions right! haha
Thank you again super nice Asian guy! : )
Let me explain the resistance in going to Starbucks so late on a Sunday afternoon. One word- packed.
Packed = No plugs
Packed = NO TABLES
No tables = No point in being there.
As soon as I arrived it was my worst SB nightmare come true. No available tables, the big handicapped table was filled with three people as well and almost everybody looked like they were NOT leaving any time soon. Total FML. Since i bus it really sucks because this means i have to get back on the bus to either go to the Warden and Steeles location or go home. Or there IS the option of Go for Tea but id rather not resort to that. So i did what ANY desperate person would do - i went up to the nicest looking (and hoping for good-hearted) guy and asked if i can sit down and share his tiny 1 huge laptop and person occupant table until a table frees up. Of course he can't deny me after i gave my "I really need a place to do work" + sad face line and i sit down to proceed, nonchalantly in taking out my equally massive laptop.

Official Statement
I hereby declare that i no longer have a crush on that SB Barista guy (you can read about him here) that i did for such a long time after i horribly discovered he slightly resembled HOWARD from, The Big Bang Theory (but a Chinese version)
For you who don't know who Howard is. This is what Howard looks like.
I haven't seen my SB crush since i started watching Big Bang Theory so this is my first time and i was horrified by the resemblance. pwahhaha omg im so embarrassed.
So yes there you go. I need a new crush. That doesn't look like that. LOL
For you who don't know who Howard is. This is what Howard looks like.

Severe case of Holiday Blues
I tried really hard to change how this Christmas was going to be like this year. Everything i can do to not be alone, to create new traditions, to not allow myself to be pitiful and feel sorry for myself. I seriously, honest to god felt the way my Christmas Eve was spent - things might actually not be so bad and god probably might even be good to me.
Things dramatically went downhill from there. The root and cause of the problem being things at home. The favoritism of my brother has never been more evident - no matter how successful I am, my brother is entitled to the same luxuries without working for it. I feel like I am growing further apart from my mother because of her stubborn, restrained and old-fashion mind. The plus side is I feel like sometimes now that the older my father gets, the more he understands things.......when he isn't angry that is.
Everything just fell apart.
The perfect Christmas that i was suppose to have, expected to have - Gone. Stolen. Taken away from me.
The new Christmas that i wished to have now also non-existing with the exception of the great couple of hours escape i had over at K's last night. It was a great few hours i got to spend in company of good people. Her family are kind people to let me join. I appreciate and am forever grateful for that. They have no idea.
Then this morning those broken parts of this holiday just continued to crumble into dust. I got into the largest fight with the mother I have EVER gotten into in the existence of my life. It was brutal. Beliefs were brought up, harsh words were exchanged and it was obvious she was not gonna back down and knowing me when i am pissed, my attitude and face exhibits the words - Bring. It. On.
Yes, to my own mother. It was the worst, sickening and hurtful feeling.
I know that all of my friends are busy with boxing day and holiday festivities and the one thing i hate is to hassle them with my problems. I refuse to have friends change their plans for me. I refuse to have people go out of their way to see me. People that cares about me has done SO much for me this year without me asking for anything. You do not pay back good grace with selfishness. You do not treat people like that (something that I was trying to make my mother understand during our fight) and I especially am not going to repay back my friends by dragging them out of what they originally plan simply because i am sad.
I HAD to get out of the house even though I still have a fever and a crazy beast-like cough. Which was why i took refuge to the one place (as STUPID as it sounds) i know l always feel safe and warm at - Starbucks. After drugging myself up with cough meds and sinus drugs I ran all the way to the Yonge and Eglinton Starbucks because i also remembered my 2nd haven was there (being my used bookstore) aka My peaceful sanctuary.
So far its been a good choice to come. I find books to be very comforting (as NERDY as that sounds), the people working are always pleasant, i found 3 books, it was worth the trip. As for Starbucks, i know the workers were going to be good to me (been to this location a couple of times before and never been given grief), the guy at the bar even got me to laugh for a bit - more than i can ask for today. Sad how a coffee shop can give me that type of security. Might be the meaning behind it. Which would be even more sad.
That said comes down to me being here alone, typing up this vent with tears streaming down my face.
I hope they don't think im suicidal. Don't think SB is insured for that kind of stuff.
I'm alright. I'll get through this. Because hey, when do i ever not cry? : )
Bye.

Oh so cold
Hmm feels like i havnt blogged in a while - you guys are in for a treat. i am in total blogging mode so theres stuff for you guys to actually read instead of fffound pictures or random spur of the moment thoughts i have.
Currently i am at my usual Starbucks, freezing my ass off because i am sitting RIGHT by the door (for plugs...or else i would not torture myself like that) at the handicap table with my iced cold drink (that my SB crush made for me......he has never made me a drink so im quite happy).
I digress. Back to my time at Starbucks.
......Hoping that i can get some blogging done before i head home for dinner. I find Starbucks is a great cure for hangovers but today i think i might just get a cold instead from all these fuckers that keeps on opening the door so much. Seriously people, do you need to open the door THAT WIDE??
Ive also been trying to download this one file since 1pm (2 hours later) ive restarted it THREE times already. Fuck. Not meant to be or something?!?!
Anyways, last night was K's highly anticipated amazing 25th Birthday Party that we've been planning for since JUNE. I am so glad that it went so smoothly and it was so so much fun. There was so much stress involved in the prep from envelope fuck ups (my fault), venue issue, and other stuff and to see it come together and everyone enjoying themselves (especially K) is a great satisfaction. The place we went to was really nice. Somehow K also managed to get herself a DJ which changed the mood of the party completely and because of that i got much more intoxicated than i planned to. Happy 25th Birthday dear!!! I hope it was absolutely amazing!!!! =]]]
That said just a quick retrack. LAST weekend was my lovely cousin's 24th birthday @ an ASIAN KARAOKE place. From what i do recall, it was actually most of the guy's first time at an Asian Karoke so it was nice to see that they enjoyed themselves. Being the wonderful cousin i am, i went ahead and prepped as many surprises as my limited bank account allowed me to do. And obviously i got myself plastered almost as badly as she did (PWHAHA) and met myself a couple of new fob friends. I love meeting people who enjoys singing sad chinese songs in public places with me. There aren't many of those out there. But yes, Happy 24th Birthday to my Cousin!!!!! Next year is going to be EPIC. I know it!!!!!
Pics to come for both events on fb soon!
There's THREE more days until Miami!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i know it is going to FLY because i have something to do every single one of those days until the day of my flight. There's SO much i need to do but i am EXCITED out of my mind. C and I need this trip. Desperately.

Quick Side Story of my Life- so one of the main reasons why i go to this SB (aside from it USUALLY having free plugs and its closest to my house) is because i have a huge crush on one of the baristas here. I swear i sit here and he probably catches me staring at him with my lustful creepy hungry eyes. Anyways the funny thing is that he is no futbol player-looking guy but this skinny lil fobby guy. The funnier thing is that i actually blush (seriously, Kay blush? ah. doesnt happen) and STUTTER when i do my ordering. Its like my brain goes into retard mode and i forget how to speak or something. I think the absolute worst part is when i order i mess up my drink orders. I recall this one time i ordered a MEDIUM iced green tea. He just smiled politely and punched in a tall for me. It was a very FML moment because its such a rookie mistake!!! Not even rookie! NOOB. Pure Starbucks Noob Fail right there. Especially because i am there OFTEN, he KNOWS i am not a noob. UGH. Thinking about it makes me embarrassed.
I also noticed that he tries to avoid taking or making my order. It makes me very sad.
But that just makes me that much more smitten and attracted to him. haha.
Watch he's probably 18. Apparently ive taken an interest in youngins lately. Its major Pedo Bear alert.

Girls are Psychotic Bitches
If people haven't already heard about the viet/chinese markham home invasion....well you do now because im blogging about it lol. Case goes, 3 men (black, black and white) entered a home, tied the 24yr old daughter up and killed the mother and shot the father multiple times in the upper body and in the neck area (but he somehow managed to stumble over to the neighbours?!?! Solider) and the daughter manage to break free and called the cops.
So its all pretty creepy you see because of the many similarities between that family and mine. The parents are the same age as mine. I am also Chinese Vietnamese, I live in Markham, I have a younger brother roughly the same age too and we both are 24. The similarities are definitely eerie.
Anyways. So C bbms and tells me how shes unable to get over the news! Here i am completely confused and asks her whats up?! What news. And she hits me with the insaneness.
(I quote the Globe and Mail)
What the shit!!?!? The DAUGHTER was part of this WHOLEEE home invasion thing. Holy fucknuts that is crazyyyyyy.
This is what happens in the measly 5 hours that i don't have connection to the internet.
Adding onto that, apparently i know a crapload of people who went to school with her and worked with her. The idea that someone that is so similar (lifestyle. not mental state) to myself is capable of cold blood murder is unbelievable. People need to be careful who they mess with because if ANYONE ever told me this chick is gonna slaughter her mother, i would just laugh in their face because she does NOT look she could. I would share how i really feel but l'll shut my trap now in case she googles her case and finds me. & kills me.
Just saying.
Anyways! Moving on.
Earlier this evening A tweeted me this
Wondered what she meant. I thought maybe its Torres holding a really fat asian mixed kid or something. Clicked on the link. Saw this:
Ohmygoddddddddddd. That is DEFINITELY my kid. Saving the pic to use as reference for i am gonna make it for my future kid for Halloween. She's going to be so snurky and tell her classmates: "My mommy says i'm a sweet Vanilla Bean Coffee-Based Frappicuno with a Venti Straw!" Man. My daughter is going to be such a smart cookie.
Okay feeling productive again tonight. Must get to it and not let the Arsenal lost today put me down.

In a major twist, Jennifer Pan – who was initially considered a witness to the horrific crime – has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Capital Punishment- Bitch Rant
Some of you might have noticed i went explosive on my FB and Twitter updates with my angry status updates this morning. Story of my life:
Result of that?
My journey to Starbucks for their internet at 530am in the morning.
Argh and i also think i strained a thigh muscle or something. Its freaking killing me.
Raw raw raw. Major bitch mode when lack of sleep.
Someone really hates me and decided to cut my house's CABLE, HOME PHONE & INTERNET (GAH) lines. Well i dont know was it deliberate but wtf man. What are the effing chances of that?!?!!! Either that or its god's way of punishing me for something i did. Maybe i should swear less, spend less and be less of a bitch.
Result of that?
My journey to Starbucks for their internet at 530am in the morning.
- Which meant waking up at 5am. I went to sleep at 1am. Half an hour prior to that i came home to discover the lack of communication to the technological world.
- I am quite impressed with the fact though, that my brother took the initiative to call Rogers to schedule for a rescue team to come save our internet. It only shows that he CAN do stuff without me holding his hand.
- He however wasnt able to get a credit though. i was. teehee.
- The reason why i need the internet so DESPERATELY is because i owe freelance work and it was suppose to be sent in since last night at midnight.
- Buying two timmies breakfast wrap to keep me awake.
- The sausage one is quite good. I perfer this over their english muffins/biscuit sandwiches because its a brown pita wrap and its a lot less fatty. Even though i do need two to make me full.
- Showing up at 545.....15 minutes before they open. It was a big bitch to stand outside in the cold and dark but this is what i call dedication.
- Clearly i had no concept of how fast the ttc ran in the morning.
- They run very fast.
- Ordering a Tall Bold for the FIRST TIME EVER in all my times buying from Starbucks. I have NEVER, EVER BOUGHT a PLAIN coffee from them.
- I'm already on my second refill, an hour later.
- Going for three. Its kind of disgusting thinking about it.
- Dealing with a rude barista.
- Okay, i know how hard it is to open in the mornings (HENCE why i named this entry CAPITAL PUNISHMENT). The prior mister opens and before he would bitch and moan about it to me so i effing know. The people who was on the bus with me looked miserable and tired. The sky is dark, its cold outside. I GET IT. But hey. You're working at Starbucks- a coffee shop that is famous for their customer service, i expect you to fucking greet me and serve me like you have sunshine beaming outta your ass. Fine. Not even at 6am. But i at least expect you to NOT BE A BITCH when i tipped you guys 2 bucks for a 2 dollar coffee because i wanted to reward you guys for being TROOPERS. I should have taken my fucking toonie back and not even left you a dirty penny. If you can't handle it, DON'T WORK AT SB. Don't give me your bitch face. I don't want to see it nor am i in any mood for that.
- Completing/doing work in general at 6am in the morning.
- I have not done that since GCM instrumentations/project due days
Argh and i also think i strained a thigh muscle or something. Its freaking killing me.
Raw raw raw. Major bitch mode when lack of sleep.

FAIL RANTTTTT
I've pretty much spent my entire day here at sb. &&& its been mad fail one after another.
lets start with how ive been here for 4+ hours and i have ONLY one download complete? yeah. because the net keeps on restarting. its either starbucks catching on (which i don't think is very likely because they dont have time to monitor bandwidth abusers like myself) or its just me and my (lack of) effing luck.
next. been trying to upload a new layout and i literally spent a whole hour sitting here trying to figure out a chunk of code and at the end the RESOLUTION to this rocket-science-like issue i had was simply adding a freaking "/" sign to the end of the code. !@#$%&
next. its like a damn icebox here. im sitting in an icebox wearing a summer dress.
i have to periodically get up from my seat and go outside because i am literally shivering in my seat.
next. effing china men sitting down at my table. yes. it is VERY OKAY for you to sit your green ass down without asking me when your friend who is sitting across from you and clearly has a table free but you choose to use mine. tard.
next. giving SB way too much of my money in one sitting because i've been so frustrated/annoyed/COLD that i needed food and more drinks to keep me sane.
i wonder how many more fails can occur before A gets here.
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Starbuck Bitch Rant...Kinda
I am probably being extremely dramatic about this again. But i really hate, when the Baristas "teach" me how to order. ARGh. It's ALWAYSS the fcuking Cafe Vanillas. I'm starting to get annoyed with this drink because it ALWAYS gives me grief whenever i order it. Is it really that hard to just be polite about it? Its different when you tell someone the appropriate way of ordering and when you start TEACHING someone like they are a toddler. Man Fuck You. No tip and dirty looks for the rest of my six hours here you WHORE.
Look at them LAZY ASSes. GO SANITIZE SOMETHING.

Craziness
Thought: There are just so many bitter people in this world. Not enough nice people.
I woke up extra early this morning to head out to Leslie Station to return a portfolio that i found there yesterday. I would think that most people would probably rummage through it to see if there's anything valuable and then leave it if there was nothing of value..or simply walk past it and ignore it for the caretakers to discard of at the end of the day. I thought it was the right thing to do to take it and return it because i felt like, if i lost something...i would hope someone would return it to me too. Anyways so i ventured out to go meet with the owner when things just kept on not going well. It was cold...the bus was almost an hour late..i was hungry and didn't dress appropriately because i lost my black coat..might have left it someones house...and on top of that the bus driver was a fucking racist. In short, another Chinese girl and i jumped to a Chinese grandma's defense when the jackass opened his mouth and said "You Chinese People lag EVERYTHING". Erm. Yeah. What the fuck right. Shit it was not pretty. I believe that girl said she's going to make a formal complaint and we exchanged contacts and everything in case she needs me again for a statement or whatever. On the way there, i saw a mother that was completely mistreating her kids. I wanted to yell but i think i did enough and i should mind my own business. I started to think maybe being nice like this....gets you no where. Meaningless bullshit keeps coming at you no matter what. Anyways i made it to the station, returned the stuff and the lady looked extremely grateful. I'm glad i could have helped. Minus everything else that happened. Mainly because i believe in Karma/好心有好報. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
Anyways i came home, hoping to have some peace and quiet to a somewhat tiring morning to discover that my mom and grandma are going at each other like its a contest to see who can be loudest. Unbelievable, what they were fighting over. No wonder i am such a freak. All generations of women in my family are CRAZY. I couldn't even wait for my brother to come home with the metro pass (to use it) to go to Starbucks because their little screaming match was getting repetitive and annoying. On top of that i need to do work and download stuff (heh).
Not a good day.Waiting for 2 o'clock Fail. Just went to get one and was embarrassingly declined because it actually starts at THREE. Not Two. Bleh. Mega Starbucks Fail. Don't know how i can got that wrong. to get me a half-priced frap to make myself feel better.

Update: A bit creeped out. A GROUP of Japanese men are speaking (violently) to one another and sitting in front of me. I wonder are they going to whip out their swords and start to kill each other if "things don't go well".
Update Again: Scary. One of the men just moved my bag and sat at my table. HMMM. Damns you Starbucks why can't you have more plugs around the store.
Update Again Again: Okay they've calmed down and now laughing. I think i'm going to live til happy hour starts.

GG
My current internet usage status:
13.28GBS left. 18 days left until our billing cycle ends. That's equivalent to only 730MBs can be used each day.
SNAPPPPPPPPPP.
Guess who'll be at Starbucks this weekend and all week and weekendS for the next 3 weeks doing all of my family's downloading? haha sighs. i think this month is the perfect month to purchase a megaupload account.

P90x
Maybe I am going way over my head on this one but i think i'm going to start up on doing P90x. Sure yeah its a huge diet/weight loss FAD but their marketing is SO awesome and i for one now appreciate GOOD marketing (Marketing/brand development is brutal.), so i must give into them especially when i see THIS (see below) this pretty face on every infomercial channel i flip by.
See.
How can you go wrong when a man name TONY (not Tim) Horton is going to be "training" you for the next 3 months!!! I'm going through this crazy fitness phase where all i want to do is exercise but i am completely neglecting doing work (you know...the kind that allows me to put new clothes on my back and Starbucks in my hand) and everything else that i REALLY need to do. I'm actually very contradicting because i'm not exactly eating well so even if i do, do all this intense exercising....it would be equivalent to me doing nothing if im still putting spoons of Honey Green Tea ice cream into my mouth periodically through out the day. What can i say....i'm fat for a reason right lol.
Anyways i digress. Back to P90X.
So because of my lack of disposable income, i'm in no position to walk over to Walmart to buy the kit. i must resort to downloading all 40gigs of the training system. FYI: I only have 60 gigs worth of bandwidth each MONTH at home. How am i going to do it? Easy- Starbucks Wi-fi Abuse.
Thanks to Starbucks l'll soon have the P90X, or (Power 90 Extreme), vigorous-but-magical-hope-created-and-hopefully-wont-fail-on-me home training system in my possession! THNXXXX YOUUUU. Its no wonder i love you guys so much.
I don't think l'll start the actual 90 days right away (this mayyy includes the diet plan. But that's looking like a lost cause right now because nothing can make me give up french fries), my plans are to do it when i come back from Cuba. Or whenever i finish downloading them HAA. I did only half of the Ab Section (Ab Ripper X) today and i was already ko'ed on the floor. That said im doing it again tmr and im DETERMINED to at least get through til the end. Even if it means i gotta skip a rep or four.
I realize that i'm not really making sense (because i am SO tired right now from Hot Yoga) and im not even going to bother re-reading it until the morning. Or never. Because i'm lazy.
NIGHTS.
Ps. I miss the mister and his insane laughter. His SB schedule is so wooky.

New Goal
You know how i wanna go sipping Starbucks in Paris?
I have a new destination i MUST visit.
The FIRST original Starbucks that ever opened is located in Seattle's Pike Place Market. This Starbucks retained its original decor (i think? Not sure) and exterior because of the historic codes of the neighbourhood. According to the history i googled up, it first opened in 1971 but been at the same space (1912 Pike Place) since 1976.
That is crazy. i MUST come here one day!!! && be a complete tourist and take a picture in front of the storefront hahaha as proof that i achieved my goal and im a total Starbucks-oholic that travelled across the country to do that.

Holyyyyshiet. Talk about growing up and filling in NICELY. Hard to believe its been 11 years since the first Harry Potter movie came out. I AM SO OLD. xxx!!!
Anyways i had quite an enjoyable weekend. I shopped til i dropped and stumbled into a Nail Salon on Saturday with K&J and then spent my evening at SB (my previous post details the fatty evening) and had a super fatty late night dinner at midnight. The mister took my family out for dimsum on Sunday morning and that's always nice because i think my parents really enjoy it. The day flies by with a super-long unplanned nap that goes into the evening and i FINALLY got around to wallpapering my closet doors (thnx u lx). I'm so proud of the way it looooooks. Yays. =] I'm not loading any pics of it though, until more of my TO-DOs has been completed.
Oh i also got my shots for the trip. Shit who the hell knew it would cost SO MUCH to protect ourselves from Hepatitis???? Argh. Must pay again for Part II of the vaccination in 6 months.
I foreshadow in the near future:
- More hot yoga sessions pwlease.
- National Home Show (Scored free passes!) with mister
- Shutter Island & Alice in Wonderland in 3D yooo
- Just4fun Fete (aka Graffiti Partay)
- Longer work-out sessions
- Twin's Birthday
- Booking, Confirming & Cuba Trip (I really REALLY hope the girls can come!!!)
- Busy and long work days
Back to work!

Fatty Mode
STOP GIVING ME FOOD STARBUCKS. YOU'RE MAKING ME FAT.
Can someone PLEASE remind me to not come on a night when they're clearing their food stock. This is NOT helping my attempt at a janet-jackson machine guns abs body.
HELP MEEEEE.
Bright side today though i went and gave myself an awesome ego boost by doing some major shopping and got my bi-weekly nails done. But at the same time i did some major damage on my Visa at Fairview.
Cu-ba Cu-ba Cu-baaaahhh!!!!!
