backlogs and updates- @ Thursday, April 29, 2010

okay, i feel like i'm always backlogged in terms of my updates up here. but yeah, lots of things happened last week, and this week as well! okay, i guess i'm not much of a chronological person, so i'll start with the latest thing, which is what i'm experiencing right now--- i'm down with a cold. i've been in bed all day yesterday, and hmm, let's see how i'd describe the experience. it'll all start with a dose of nyquil after a meal, and within thirty minutes my senses start to numb slightly, my mind slowly drifts away while sounds around me become more muffled. next thing i know, i'd slept for a good hour or so, but during the time my mind drifts off and going completely out, three hours have past. and before i know it, it's time to eat again, and take another dose.

well, thank God i feel way healthier than i was yesterday, and hope the pace of recovery would stay exponent like this.

oh, also last saturday (when i was way healthier) i attended iva's birthday, and i finally had my revenge! remember how she got me drunk on my birthday last year? this year's my turn, but i guess it was a little overdone. poor iva only had five shrimps wrapped around tiny pieces of pancetta, so i guess five shots gulped down in a matter of less than half an hour was probably... a little too much for her. anyway, i'll upload a sober-looking shot here, just so that my blog doesn't look so dry and picture-less.

shopping updates on next post!~

my view on PETA- @ Wednesday, April 21, 2010

i was reading the news on ben & jerry's new ice cream flavors earlier today when i came across none other than... PETA. yes, they and their campaigns for animal rights may seem, well, humane and well thought of, but... after going through their website, i'm not impressed. why?

i love my lamb skin leather bags. i love the eggs i eat for breakfast every morning. i love the taste of beef, especially steak. i enjoy the variety of fish and seafood i get to pick at the grocery store. i love eating at fast food chains like mcdonald's and kfc.

no, i am not an animal hater, i love animals just as much as the regular people do. i love playing with dogs as much as i enjoy eating my meat and carrying my leather bags. why is it that PETA never complained about dogs, cats, tigers, lions eating chicken, beef, rabbit, salmon, etc. but make a fuss over what we humans eat? we are called omnivores for a reason, and the only reason we hunt animals differently is well, because we are smarter than other animals. dolphins "play" around with their meals by tossing them around in the air, but that doesn't make PETA squirm.

and most important of all, i don't want human breast milk ice cream, thank you very much. screw you PETA for coming up with such ridiculous ideas.

for a moment- @ Sunday, April 18, 2010

sitting on my bedside with my laptop on my lap, sunshine peeking in softly from the corners of the blinders. drowning in the subtle rhythms and tunes of indie, alternative and classic music. flashes of memories every now and then. for a moment, i lost myself there.

playlist:

- soundtracks from Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amelie Poulin

- regina spektor's begin to hope

- marcy playground - sex and candy

- bow wow wow - aphrodisiac

- maroon 5 - sunday morning

- red hot chili peppers - scar tissue, under the bridge

- a fine frenzy - almost lover

- yann tiersen - summer 78

retardness taken to the next level - the 21st century hippies!

dog dilemma... again! @ Thursday, April 15, 2010

okay, i had this problem three years ago, and now i'm having it again.

I WANT A DOG :(

well, i'm not looking for another cherie (cherie was a pomeranian ~~and no other dogs can ever replace cherie~~), because i realized that a shedding dog gave me more than just fur on the carpet, but all over my clothes and in my closet as well. so, i'm going with a westie this time!

aren't they just perfect! small, cute, WHITE, and smart... what more can you ask for?!

problem is, my parents aren't pretty much the biggest dog lovers... the reason i lost cherie was, well, that. i guess the only safe time i can have my own dog is when i'm married and living in my own house where my parents can't just come in and give my dog away. so... i guess i'll just dream on in the meantime. :(

quotes part 2- @ Monday, April 12, 2010

just another batch of awesome quotes i'm seeing on twitter & facebook:

"Every man is born an original, but sadly, most men die copies." Abraham Lincoln
RT @janeypatricia: A lion wouldn't cheat on his wife, but a Tiger Wood!
The first time you light a candle is always the toughest. Once it's been lit you barely have to hold the flame to it for it to ignite others. In other words, "it gets easier". (quoted from Ashton Kutcher's twitter)
RT @OMGFacts: "Goodbye" came from the Middle English word "godbwdye", which is short for "God be with ye"

we'll see more next time~

i'm baaacckk- @

after a hiatus from blogging, here i am again, to update future me and some of you who have access to this blog, some updates in my life. first of all, i'm so, so happy of my new shopping haul from saks.com! thanks to the lure of THE discount coupon and free shipping, plus incoming salary all-in-one-day, i've wasted away a whole two-week salary with a few clicks of the button (and some typing). all in exchange for a moment's high and a pair of pretty flats.

the other major thing bugging my life right now is... this HUMONGOUS ulcer (or canker sore, as americans call it) in my mouth! no, i'm not lacking vitamin C, or B, or whatever... apparently i bit myself in my sleep thanks to some weird dream last wednesday and here i am. it's been a while since i've had one this big (i can trace back at least a year ago since i had it), and it's oh, SO PAINFUL! and nothing's helping it. i've tried rinsing with listerine, i've been drinking who-knows-how-many-liters of vitamin C water, i'm trying yogurt, but nothing is working! and it's making me all the more cranky with my PMS here, it's giving me headache spells like a toothache would, and making everything delicious taste... bad. perhaps this is what i need to lose some weight. something that'll curb my appetite.
