i hate facebook

boboli — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 22:27:15 +0000

i refused to surrender my soul to the evil power of facebook.

add reason #68073 – i just found out one of my exes is married. recently.

i say recently ‘coz i went out with him less than 2 years ago. unless he was already married when i was going out with him. i wouldn’t be surprised tho. knowning the guys i attract. or guys i’m attracted to.

not a nice feeling.

dunno why i’m feeling the way i do. i mean, i was the one who ended the relationship. crap, now that i think about it… he was pretty cool… i had no gripes about him except for one thing. one very important thing. but let’s not get into it now…

anyway, i was totally over him. eeeks. i thought i did?! i did i did I DID! i have absolutely no desire to want to be with him. argh. plus, he was supposed to turn into a monk after i dumped him. blah.

then why am i writing this?! oh yes…

i hate facebook. that’s where i found out he’s married.

no, i didn’t sign up for crackbook myself. my coworker was just clicking around it at work and i thought i’d look up a couple of people… urgh. why did i do that?! arrgggh!

if this is how i feel now, i wouldn’t want to find out when HE gets married… -_-

or is he already… ?!

here’s the long awaited picture of the dress & my “tan”.

you can’t really see the dress in here but it gives you an idea of what seafoam looks like. pretty pretty! yes, it’s actually quite a beautiful colour. as for my “tan”, some friends thought i looked hawaiian… others thought i just came back from hawaii… i was just relieved that i was able to cover my ~~stupid~~ ugly tanlines. yeah, the tanlines weren’t stupid. it was me who was stoo.pud.

special shoutouts go to wendy, my lovely stylist, the wonderful ladies at MAC and the fake&bake / airbrush tan place… *** and most importantly, my friend – the beautiful bride who didn’t freak out on me when i showed her my tanlines 2 days before her wedding… cheers, chan tai tai!

arrgh.

Three weeks ago, we had our “company BBQ” here…

Even with SPF55 sunblock, I ended up getting a bad@ss tan after spending 2 1/2 hr lounging on the beach.

So, I spent the next 2 weekends here…

With the help of…

And I still look like this…

This morning, I went to get an airbrush tan… but the lines are still very visible.

HELP!! My friend’s wedding is this Saturday. And my bridesmaid dress is strapless. -_-

Any helpful suggestion is greatly appreciated! (or does anyone know a good bodyshop? heh)

**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****

After I told my friend, who’s getting married this Saturday, about the spray-on tan, she emailed me this…

Ross: One Mississipi, two Mississipi, Three Mis…(the sprayer starts again, spraying him in the face and torso again) WAIT! WAIT! I’m not-I’ve not finished counting!!

(he leaves the booth)

(the assistant enters the room)

Ross: You sprayed my front twice!Assistant: You’ve never turned?Ross: No, I barely even got to three Mississippi. Assistant: Mississippi? I said count to five’!Ross: Mississippilesly?

I was staring at this picture for the last 20 minutes…

… when I got the dreaded phone call…

My Gong Gong passed away.

Those were the softest hands I’ve ever touched…

Rest peacefully, Gong Gong. I don’t remember if I’ve ever told you… I love you.

My camera is currently vacationing in Southeast Asia. The last I heard, it was soaking up some rays on Koh Phangan, an island off the coast of Thailand. So, I don’t have any new photos to post. But what’s a post without any pics? Here’s an older picture I found on my work computer. I like to look at it when I’m feeling frazzled.

Taken inside Pantheon, Rome – Summer 2003

Found this in my stack of work mail this morning -

“I will try this day to live a simple, sincere, serene life, repelling every thought of discontent, self-seeking and anxiety; cultivating magnanimity, self-control and the habit of silence; practicing economy, cheerfulness and helpfulness.And as I cannot in my own strength do this, or even with a hope of success attempt it, I look to thee, O Lord my Father, in Jesus Christ, my Savior, and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (A Morning Prayer and Resolve – by Bishop Vincent)

… I couldn’t even get through the first semicolon without letting out a “ha!” followed by a deep sigh…

I just noticed that my 3 favourite drinks are lined up side-by-side-by-side.

My Turban Shoes

boboli — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 04:30:09 +0000

Doesn’t it look like my toes are wearing a turban??

Would they go with my seafoam green dress?

* Tree, I know we’re supposed to shop for silver shoes… but I got suckered into buying these. Wasn’t hard tho… I’m weak when it comes to shoes. The saleslady said they’d go with seafoam green and any “spring dresses”. (Side note: I doubt she knows what seafoam looks like!) Anyway, do you approve? If not, I’d be very happy to go hunt for silver shoes again… ^_^

** Hope I won’t offend anyone out there by calling these “turban shoes”…

- Lanikai Beach, Oahu

Mom just called.

Mom: Busy?

Me: Nah, just finished with our morning meeting.

Mom: Wanna go to Mexico or Vegas?

Me: When?

Mom: The end of the month?

Me: Oh, I was hoping you’d say this weekend… (since it’s a super duper long weekend… and I can always extend it too)

Me: … oh yeah, WHY??

Mom: Just wanna get away… feeling restless lately…

Me: Me too!

My Mom’s cool. I’ve already done Mexico a couple of times… and my first time was actually with my mom. We hung out for a week at this lovely resort in Manzanillo… had pina coladas for breakfast… tequila shooters for nightcaps… and these 2 young guys tried to pick us up in the elevator the first night we got there. And that’s when I knew for certain that we were gonna have a fabulous week there! heh

I was kinda disappointed that my travel plan to HK/Vietnam/Cambodia/Thailand in May couldn’t come through. Maybe this quick-getaway would help ease the post-holiday/pre-bday/rainy-gloomy-Vancouver-days/daily-work-stress bahumbah I’ve been feeling….

Where should we go?
