We think alike, design (template-d designs anyways haha...i need to still play with the HTML..found a great place with nice templates but we can change it to our liking of course. l'll link u it later) AND thought process is similar. heh heh heh Miss You lotsss.

i go against the grain (hahaha someone in GCM/print pls laugh with me)
Despite everyone's trash talk about how shitty the Wolverine movie is, i liked it ALOT. hahah but ive been known to like shitty movies. I watched it last night with the mister and D and they both totally trashed it at the end while i loudly verbally express my deep liking for this movie. They just ganged up on me with its flaws and obviously i lost. >.<
So I have a small movie crush on Ryan Reynolds (aka. Deadpool aka. the guy with the bullet-proof swords aka. the snakeskin man at the end of the movie) and also, Daniel Henney (aka. Agent Zero aka the guy with the guns).
Look at this fabulous piece of meat:
Holy crap he's GORGEOUS. ahaha Clearly, he cant be of Asian decedent. Probably a hybrid, you can even tell by the name. haha giggle giggle
Ok l'll stop before lx gets all pissed off with me. lol
So thats one summer movie down, six more to go?
Up in 3D with the dream team this friday!
Must, must make mental note to go DT to buy discounted movie tickets!!!

Starbucks is Bliss
I'm off work, and walked a quarter of a mile (okay maybe not that long...but it really did feel like it with my laptop in my bag) from where i work to the nearest Starbucks. I am currently waiting for the mister to come get me for dinner and my blogging urges came. Hopefully I can finish writing this before he comes...because i have tendencies to do other things while i write up an entry.
For example,
I just...finished another episode of criminal minds =D
Or...i turned on restaurant city to feed my minions and to buy a giant squid for my restaurant rooftop.
Anyways, i find Starbucks to be very peaceful and came to notice a continuing trend of these sudden blogging urge feelings i experience. Everyone who knows me know that i am a big Starbucks addict that spends too much money there. To put it in better context, lets just say Im sure i could have saved it all up to buy a really sexy looking leather jacket instead of iced coffees and green teas. hmm I would consider myself a Very Important Person at Starbucks and expect to be treated that way haha Just now I ordered a usual Venti Customized Berryblossom White Tea, Steeped, with eight pumps of syrup on light ice *courtesy of Mils who introduced me to this drink* I order it that way because i am very important and arrogant like that...also because i really do like it that way. Anyways to my surprise, the girl understood what the hell i wanted!! wahaha Normally i would have to go through my whole speech on how i want it made/repeat my order/repeat AND explain how i want it made - and people would still look at me like im a bitch-that-deserves-to-be-stabbed. Because of that, i tipped her well, and fed her Unicorn Fund (dont ask, thats what the tip box said) and have concluded i love this Starbucks and will spend more time here.
As I was walking here, I was thinking of my "future" with my company. So I am a Marketing Associate, no secret (seeing that i have it up in my profile). What ive also mentioned numerous of times on my past life (dorkus_x), is that i have absolutely no experience doing anything Marketing/CRM/PR/Communications- related- which makes this position very challenging for me because I am not utilizing what has been implanted in my brain for the past four years. Instead, I am trying to scramble all those extra "minor" related knowledge and string them together to create an effective campaign. Not good.
Also my boss aka the president pointed out a truth that ive been avoiding for the past eight years- that my English is shit. Its to a point where i know if i dont do something about it, i will not be able to go very far on this career path. Which is why I am considering some sort of supplementary English-Writing class/journalism course (actually it was more like a recommendation from him)...yeah, pretty sad and hardcore. I know. You would think all this blogging would be some sort of practice for me, but i really think its just making me lazier when i type in slang and not in proper English because this is informal writing. Anyways a big portion of my job is to write press releases for the company and create press kits...yeah DESIGNING press kits is a piece of cake, i don't know so much about writing the content. That goes with website content, product brochure content, case studies, etc. Design? Thumbs up and happy face. Content? Scared and sad face. sighs.
With that said, the purpose of this portion of the rant is that at the end of my walk I came to the conclusion that I do want stay with the company for a long time and move up the rankings, even if it means needing to take English courses and learn how to drive (yes, that is another factor that is preventing me from getting promoted some day). Go ambitious me! Wish me good luck though because English scares me.... I'm Chinese! Chinese people no good with English! lol =[
Alright the boyfriend is here and im hungee.
OUTZ.

Keeping my Word
Sometime last June I said to myself that i will go and chop off my hair and get some sort of bob cut (b/c angled bob cuts were hot last June) the minute i graduate (meaning after Convocation) because i wanted something new and what better way to celebrate the end of my undergraduate and non-adult life then to do something that i've never done before. So keeping to my own words, i went ahead and chopped off my hair.
Not completely though.
Haha because i was too chicken shit to go any shorter.
You will see this is what i looked like before i went out to get it cut.
Notice the hair length.
Now, thirty dollars later.
See! Its not SHORT-SHORT, but its much shorter than how i normally have it. (Actually the angle i took that picture was bad, its actually shorter)
Maybe after convocation, l'll grow bigger balls and cut it shorter. : D

My left eye keeps on twitching
The mister and his buddies has a routine of going to bbt with their laptops and game til the place closes. When we first began dating, i honestly would go out every night and do the same thing except i wont be gaming, lll just be doing my own thing on my laptop instead. This is a typical night:
Hardcore nerds we are indeed.
But yes, thinking back now, i rEALLLY dont know how i was able to do it for almost every night for like 8 months because now i get SO freaking exhausted after sitting for an hour.
its either im old or im sick of bbt. or both.
but its okay, b/c the boys r cool and i would assume they enjoy my company because im weird, young, naive and dorky.

This 9-5 Life
Its only the second week of my fabulous 9-5 working life yet i am so bored of it already. My routine is as follows:
7:15am- WakeUp to do my morning bathroom routine, turn on laptop before going to the washroom, assign positions to my minions on restaurant city (freak, i know), load an episode of Criminal Minds that i did not finish the previous night, check my blog subscriptions, check facebook photos, check weather. THEN, i begin to choose what to wear and change
7:45am- I set my laptop beside me and sit on the ground and begin to put on my face in front of the mirror while the episode of criminal mind that i was loading begins to play. I guess i do my hair too during this time depending on my mood.
8:05am- I go downstairs to eat breakfast and carry my laptop with me so i can finish the episode of Criminal Minds
8:20am- Leave the house.
9am-5pm- The wonderful 8 hours of being a noobie marketing associate
5pm-7pm- I either:
a) bus home and catch up on whatever that i missed during my 8 hours at work that i wasnt able to check on my blackberry and feed my minions on restaurant city.
ORRRRR
b) the mister comes get me and we go to Starbucks and spend time together until we both gotta go home to eat with our families : )
7pm-8pm Dinner with the fam, gossip about my day with the parents, have meaningful, intellectual conversation with my dad regarding real estate trends, fruits and the goddam tamil protest(s) going around toronto.
8pm-10:15pm I do whatever i need to do to prepare for the next day, or procrastinate and go make-believe online shopping...all while feeding my minions and watching Criminal Minds
10:30pm- Pause Criminal minds, call the mister to say goodnight & the snoring begins
REPEAT EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!
Talk about being super boring.....and sad.
I'm a freaking robot thats OBSESSED with Criminal Minds, Restaurant City and the Internet. I have no social interaction whatsoever during the week...which is why i look forward to Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays so much because its the only days im able to stray away from my "9-5" schedule and actually SEE people (even though i get dead tired by midnight =__=). But ya, im sure people who do 9-5 as well actually have lives other than me so kudos to you guys lol
However with that said, its the weekend now and i tend to migrate to the misters for a couple of days during the weekend when the house is free. Yesterday i went to some warehouse sale that sold dirt cheap Smashbox, RedEarth and Elizabeth Arden make-up (and a lot of other cheap stuff). Holy shit i think i walked out with like 200 bucks worth of stuff and im actually considering going back for more even though its a TERRIBLE idea.
As you can see in the picture, i ended up getting:
- an Elizabeth Arden Quad Shadow Palette (im starting to get confused on what colors i have, and what colors i DONT have)
- a RedEarth brow kit (gotta learn how to shape my my invisible eyebrows)
- RedEarth Duo Eyeliner in blue (for two dollars!!!)
- Smashbox Matte Dry/Wet Foundation (i think i just found the best foundation in my limited-knowledge world on foundation)
- Smashbox's Bronzer Disc that was 57% off the original price (now i just gotta learn how to apply it without looking like burnt toast)
- 99 cents Sally Hassen Nail Stuff
- other misc. stuff like Dove Facial Kits and things for my brother.
Craziness.
I need to stop with this spending. I was actually crossing my fingers as they scanned the stuff and prayed it wouldnt go over 2 bills because i think thats all i have left on my Visa and it would be pretty embarrassing if they swiped it and it goes DENIED (happened before, very embarrassing, people give u that mean dirty look.)
I guess this 9-5 thing isnt so bad since its paying for my debts. Blah.
Okies, time to go make mango pudding.
