grrrrr @#$%@#$%

Why can’t some people follow rules? Yeah there is a so-called “exception” to the rule but if it happens all the time, it’s extremely annoying!!! Then they would think it is ok… just ok to do that!

on the contrary...

- I'm lucky to have a loving and caring husband

- being thousands of miles apart from family improved our relationship… made us close (not to mention my mom now being vocal on how she loves and misses me)

- having a decent job enables me to help family/relatives in times of need

- I'm healthy (well aside from my “allergy” which I have no control of)

- 3 months (or so) to go for our Philippine vacation

let me whine a little...

- 50s & 60s temp during the summer (not to mention wearing a sweater or a light jacket);

- Been raining a lot lately;

- Perennial rhinitis (spring is long over and I still have allergy attacks which gave my Internist the conclusion that it’s a year round kind of allergy);

- Gained 10 lbs in 4 months… total of 23 lbs in 29 months (so freaking hard to lose it);

- Grown out of my clothes (which means I need to buy new ones… bigger ones! IFC is right that instead of me going back to my original shape, I let the clothes adjust on me. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! )

- Gave up wishing for a smoother and clear skin (I guess it just can’t adapt to the US environment and climate)

- Been getting bad reception for the TV (which made us subscribe to “DVDs by mail”... added expense! *sigh*)

- Drinking coffee regularly (which I didn’t do before)

6 weird things about me!

I’ve been tagged by Dionne

[Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well and state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog]

I like pricking blackheads. I just can’t resist it every time I see a black spot on my face. The effect? It leaves dark marks which take forever to come off.
I’m a neat freak. I always want things to be organized. If I’m at home, I just couldn’t stop from keeping things together. I get so irritated if my surrounding is messy.
My eyes get bigger (whether I’m happy, excited or upset) when I talk. I think it’s a habit that I developed when I was still young. The only downside of it is that sometimes I get misinterpreted by it. :)
I hate okra. I eat “saluyot” (vegetable that’s kind of slimy when cooked), well known in the north, but I don’t know why I can’t eat okra.
I can’t sleep well on a house or hotel that I’ve been to for the 1st time during the 1st night. Part of my previous job was traveling. I always had a hard time getting sleep during the 1st night.
• I really don't know how to say it but I sleep with my feet extended beyond the edge of the bed.

Consider yourself tagged!

MEANEST of the means!!!

IFC has been craving for “dimsum” for the last 2 weeks and so we went to Chinatown yesterday. So funny we had to travel that far just for that! Anyway, we dined in at Wonton Garden (this is where we always go) and ordered sui mai (known as siomai in the Philippines), roast pork bun (or siopao), sweet and sour pork chops and pan fried noodles with beef stew and vegetables. We really enjoyed the food and it definitely satisfied the cravings. I asked for a 2nd cup of tea while waiting for my turn to go to the restroom.

Until… one guy came and asked… “finished?” I just said we already have the check. And so he walked away. A few minutes later, he came back and asked the same thing again… this time with a comment like… “There are a lot of people waiting outside”. IFC got really upset and said, “We also waited!” I also uttered, “And I’m still drinking my tea!” He walked away shaking his head.

IFC being furious and all, took the tip that we were supposed to leave on the table, headed towards the door, kind of throwing the money on the cashier’s table, and walked out. He said “I’m not going to eat there ever again!”

Where is the so-called customer service huh?!

inappropriate?!

We went to a funeral last night. My co-worker’s (the one who gives me a ride home) father died. While it was IFC’s first time to have attended such, it was also my 1st time to have seen a traditional Korean funeral service. They spoke in their language. We didn’t even comprehend anything of what were said. We were there to pay respect anyway. IFC felt so out of place as he was only wearing jeans and white shirt and most people were wearing a black coat. I told him my co-worker would understand as he just came from work. I'm sure my co-worker has appreciated seeing us. I understand his position though...

i'm sick like a dog!

I could live with the hot and humid weather but having a cold with body pains and headache is a nightmare. At 1st I thought it was just my allergy but when I started feeling like I'm over-fatigue, I knew I’m catching a cold. IFC and I have been sick for 3 days now. And it’s just so freaking hard to deal with. *Sigh*
