All the...

Small Things!

well....

i can die happy now.

okay real update

Technically, i could just AIM msg Flushie and tell him all about what's going on since he is the only one who reads my blog... but I GUESS i'll just post for the heck of it.

I recently received an offer for a position at an Alaskan Native company doing Program Control work. It's a smaller company but the pay is AWESOME. Well, okay maybe not awesome, but I'm finally at market value which means i can finally pay off credit card bills for good AND have the possibility of buying a house next year!

Things are moving very well (career wise) for me. Hopefully this move to the company is a good one. I start on the 19th, wish me luck!

Also, i just came back from Atlantis in the Bahamas. Which was my first trip out of North America and i got my first stamp on my passport. Atlantis... was awesome. They have great pools and easy access to the beach, and by easy i mean like i looked out my window and there was the freaking beach!!!

I went on most of the water slides which was scary and fun at the same time. I tanned, i burnt, i went snorkeling which is kind of freaking scary. Jumped waves, ran away from attacking seagulls and enjoyed the ocean view out on a boat. It was SOOOOOOO nice to just lay out in the sun. Although it is so NOT nice that my skin is peeling. Pretty gross actually.

So here is a picture of the view we had from our hotel balcony!

Update

Hi all -

I'm going to be so mad at myself when I think about my late 20s and forget what happened and not have a blog to go back to to read about!!

Some things that are going on -

Going on interviews (again). I think I'm ready to find that one company I can stay with for a long time. And by a long time, i mean more than 3 years.

Working out (again). I'm doing a combo of running my arse off, some weights, and tai chi. I believe in the tai chi!!!

Dieting (again) Cutting coke out of my life. People tempt me with fattening food... but all i gotta say is, dude, if i'm going to put anything bad in my body, only Coke is worth it. Booyah!

Starting a new blog. Don't worry this one is staying, the other one is more topic specific. Please support my blogging habits at www.whtieat.blogspot.com

Vows

I have 3 weddings (so far) to go to this year and am a bridesmaid in one of them. I heart weddings although they are very expensive to not only have but to attend!

Anyway, being a bridesmaid is hard work, mostly because i dont know what i'm suppose to be doing. I'm somehow more of an expert on how to be a bride, thanks to weddingbee.com

Well after months of deliberation, we've finally come to a consensus on the bridesmaid dress!! (and this is only with 2 bridesmaid trying to make a decision, imagine 5??)

Nice yes?

i miss...

talking... without worrying.

feed me to love me

Hello blogster, how i miss thee...
let me count the ways.

Anyway, i just woke up and thought...i wonder how many people saw this:
and then got to eat it 16 minutes later. freaking delicious.

i miss food.

So i trust everyone had a good valentine's day? no hearts broken? Good. I went to the dentist, got a filling, went grocery shopping and then got served dinner. Crab cake.... sooo delicious, i never knew it'd be so easy to make crab cake... well what am i saying, i still don't know how to make it, but it looks easy. anyway, it was sooooooo delicious i had the bf make it again a few days later, hahaha, i'm a fat kid trying to get out.

and so work is going pretty well... um... i moved to a new apartment... my karaoke system works now... i got rock band... that's all that's new with me.

you guys?

:chirp chirp chirp:

Helloooooooo................??

::looks around::

Holy crap! Where did the month ago. I enjoyed the month of January. Why? I got to see Micky. 27 years of my life and i finally got to see Micky.

Yes kids, going to Disney Land/World and seeing all the Disney characters is a big deal- not everyone has the privilege and means to go. Some of us played with the floor for means of fun and entertainment. I don't know why I said floor, but i don't really remember playing with anything when i was younger. I just remember books. Anyway, so go thank your parents if they took you to crazy Disney. That's a lot of money for a lot of walking.

If not, wait for your significant other to take you.


Thanks hun (and his family members).

the BF's dad

Loves to bring up the fact that i like listening to sad Vietnamese music even though i don't understand it. I don't know how this came up, but I'm glad he knows because he now loves playing music for me when he gets a chance.

Here he is playing besame mucho... below is a short clip.
Pretty nifty when you can have a bf AND his dad play music for you. =]

Dude

What happened to my life?

Toys for Tots

We grew up poor.

We went from 3 kids living in the suburbs of Wisconsin to 7 kids in the projects of MA.
For some reason - I remember having Christmas trees during the holidays in Wisconsin.
In MA - none. I was never really sad over it. I was pretty oblivious to the fact that people were out shopping for gifts for everyone in their family. That everyone was "suppose to" not only receive a present, but little stocking stuffers and give gifts as well. In the poor-dung days during the Christmas season my mom would sign up for some charity and some random white dude with his kid would come around our house and give us presents for Christmas! I think this only happened two or three times and for the life of me I cannot remember what the toys were... but the important thing was how excited and happy i felt when this random dude would come with toys. Of course back then all I cared was about the toys and not where it came from or why it came, but years later i finally realized and appreciated this whole toys for tots thing.

So kids, yes, Christmas may be all commercialized and what not - but do you know how much happiness a shiny toy can bring to a kid?!

When I grew up and finally started making the mula - i found toys for tots through my work place and donated toys every year.

Well - this year, my company did NOT have a big box for TFT!! I was shocked, i was saddened, i was mad...
Okay so i looked up my company and they DID do TFT but just not at my location. Anyway, i googled all this TFT stuff and all the places that were participating were already finished!

I'm going to call a few places tomorrow that are on the toysfortots.org website and hopefully they are still participating. If not, i'm going to be reaaaaaaal sad this year.

So people please, donate to a organization that participates in spreading some holiday cheer. Look how well i grew up because of it!


.... it's really hard to blog and sc at the same time.

Oh Christmas Tree!

...oH Christmas Tree!!



how many presents do you have for meeeeeeee????

social netbooking

I'm thinking about joining Facebook.

Should i!?

How else would i keep track of my 5 friends??

Fa la la la LA la.....

Wow, I miss blogging.

Haven't had the chance to sit alone to type out my thoughts lately. I've actually been busy with after work activities. I've seen a musical, went to the zoo and saw squirrels, had home cooked meals again, been drinking more *yay*, and finally been getting a regular dose of SC.

So - did I ever tell you about the time I got stuck in an elevator for about 2 minutes? I don't know why, but i thought about this event when i was stepping out of the office elevator on my way into work.

So we're at D's apartment downtown right? And i remember someone carrying a laundry basket. And for some reason, the guys think its funny and fun to jump up and down in the elevator as it's going up.

boingy boingy boingy.

The elevator stops.

Ummm...

We pry open the elevator door to find that we're stuck half way between floors.

Laundry basket goes up and out first. Everyone else follows.

We had to take the stairs the rest of the way.

The guys still thought it was funny and fun.

So - will you guys be decking the halls with balls of jolly this year?

la la la la...

edit: wait... balls of jolly?! wtf?!

Pats vs Colts
