Pain

Pain, please go away.
Rain, please take the shattered dreams away.

God healed my pulled hamstring. God, you are great. You showed me the way, you showed me what I should do.

Please take all the lies away. I don't need more lies. I don't need more tears.

I need peace. I need to keep my head high as the days are going to be tough. I need to be strong. I need to find my happy place.

I wish that it never happened. I wish that you were kinder to me. I wish you really did love me but you did not.

You lost me.

Closure

Sometimes all a person needs is some kind of closure. I got mine today.

I wish I had the answer

to everything..

2010

My last post was back in 2009.

Fast forward, it's been 3 months we bade farewell to 2009. 2009 been a pretty rough year for me but it's also a sweet sweet year filled with memories only left to be cherished for the years to come. There are things I'm going to miss and there's that someone I'm going to remember.

After two years working with my current company, I've finally moved on. I found a new job and starting on the 5th of April. Exciting! Will be working with one of my ex co-workers again, haaa, as weird as it sounds, sometimes life brings you the unexpected.
Twisted fate.

Talking about fate, last night after work, I decided to head out to IKEA to get a new wardrobe to help with organizing and oddly enough, I saw my old boss driving on Bay Bridge. The night before, I actually saw him in Mountain View too. Twisted fate again.
Maybe he should stop stalking me. :D

This weekend is going to be quite amazing. One of my friends is leaving US for good, heading back to Taiwan. So there's going to be drinking (of course) and plenty of food on the table again. Next month, new job, big conference in SF, so it's going to be a short month. One of my friends is heading to the bay area from LA, so again, lots of food + drinking. Haha..

Till next time...signing out

Merry Christmas 2009

I do not miss 2009. Goodbye.

Welcome 2010!!! Bring me some luck please.

December!

Awesomeness! It's December already!

Jebus, been trying to pull myself together for the past couple months. It's just crazy when all you do everyday is to worry of the stuff at work..nothing more...i'm kind of leaving a lifeless life right now..it's so hard to breathe sometimes..i'm dying for a vacation, a real vacation.

My only outlet now is going to the gym, trying to tone up and better myself. Well blame it on genetics. My face gets round pretty fast. ughh...

Time to hit the gym again. I've been looking through the posts for the past couple years and am amazed at how things have changed. I do look older now but it's been wonderful couple years, at least.

Take care everyone! I'll try to upload pictures soon. :)

Amy has no ❤

All out of ❤.

I'm exhausted.

Moving On

Been MIA! Sorry!

It's the long weekend for folks in US, pretty darn awesome considering I'd been working rather hard for the past couple months. Ever since I got promoted, my workload plus schedule been going a little crazy. Sometimes it's so stressful that it makes me a little whiny bitch. ;) But life goes on, not looking back and bitch about it now.

New York was fantastic. Did some shopping with my partner in crime and had a good time just drinking a lot! Now, here's my another way to relieve stress. I've never understood why people would drink so much when they are stressing out but now that it's pretty darn clear to me. I don' binge drink though so I guess I still have hope of leading a sober life? Perhaps someday. :D

September is starting out quite nicely with a lot of shopping (start preparing for winter ladies!) as well as hanging out with folks in fancy restaurants for food tasting. My definition of fancy isn't just about paying a huge bill but it's more about just hanging out with friends, having a darn good time and eating food that would never ever appear in my humble kitchen. :)

Time is flying by really quick. I will also be moving out from my space now into a place where I can find serenity and peace. Sorry gotta be brief on this! Maybe someday I will provide more details but now it's just about stretching and turning over a new leaf in this chapter of my life.

Take care!

The Ugliest Bag

Rated to be the ugliest bag ever made by Louis Vuitton, this bag will cost you an arm and leg approximately 45Gs.

45,000 for a bag?

UP the Movie

Thumbs UP! :D

Weekend!!

Time to get a haircut!

:)

Last night was great. Had the chance to network with some folks from another company that's located in the bay area. 3 Sake-Tinis and a beer later, I was zoning out a little. Well good that I had super delicious Peruvian seafood fried rice before meeting them, if not, not sure what's going to happen. :P

After the first networking session, we went to Heggy's place (a very nice co-worker) to wine and dine. It was absolutely wonderful. Didn't get to take any pictures but Heggy did. So hopefully I can steal some of the pictures from him on Monday. Heggy and Steven been married for a year but been together for 10 years. They have a super duper cute dog named Clarence. Clarence is the cutest dog alive! And so cute that he humped my leg last night!LOL

Next week is going to be insane. I can totally see it coming. People from all over the US are flying in to San Francisco for AdTech conference. I was invited to a couple parties but hmm, maybe I'm a bit too old for that. Being 26 going 27 is really hard, so, how do you categorize yourself? Adult? Pre-adulthood? Almost an adult? haha Mind you, some people from my company still call me "a baby girl". WTF!

With lots of networking to do next week, I've saved a day for G-Man, since he's coming back on Monday. He will be celebrating his 32nd next week. Did I just say that out loud? hehe I'm not planning anything special because hello, this guy just came back from UK! What about me? Slaving off all by myself here. Life is so unfair! So justice is in my hand, he's going to get what he deserves. ^_^ *eVIL*

Weekend is great. Weekend is for me to re-charge. I need to get some brushes to put on better makeup. I'm terrible. I have to start acting like an adult! OK, I should totally pay more attention to my face. I guess I'm stressing out too much the past couple weeks that I've neglected everything about myself. Haven't really been dressing up much or doing anything special to make myself feel better. Every morning is more like the start of a nightmare. I can't seem to figure out what to wear, so I take whatever that I can grab and put it on, end up looking like a clown! I'm serious! So another resolution for next week, I need to give myself some time and space to bounce back. YES! I'LL BE BACK!

*Picture courtesy of G-Man

Yippeee in one week, G-Man will be coming home to be my driver again! It's been almost two weeks now and I'm coping rather well so far. Not that he's that insignificant in my life but all girls need a break sometimes, right?

Apart from staying occupied with loads and loads of stuff from work, I've been planning. Planning? YES, me planning. Planning for my next trip (of course!), planning what I should eat when I go back home, planning my camping trips for 2009, planning how I can save more money with all these plannings becoming reality, planning to check out the housing market, planning if I should still stay here in the US (what's new right?), loads of planning! I guess I am really getting old. Everything needs to have a plan! What has happened to the days of being spontaneous?

Yesterday on my way to my boss' home to feed her cats, I met a man. An older gentleman. Well he initiated a conversation when we were waiting for the bus to arrive. So I thought, yeah, why not, it's not like he's going to rob me or something. People are very judgmental you know, by his appearance, he's definitely not the right fit for the sex predator category. So he spoke to me on how he moved from DC to San Francisco and he's working as some kind of special agent for government (yea right). It was a nice casual chat and we exchanged numbers. Seriously, mister, do you think I would ever pick up your call? Are you going to use your special agent ability to track me down? Did you implant a GPS chip on me? Not sure what it is but in this age and day, we can't trust people anymore, especially here in the US. I've lived here, God knows, mabe 8-9 yrs now and I won't deny it that I'm becoming more individualistic. And another thing is, dude, I didn't even give you my right number! There you go. I hope you will find someone who actually picks up your call.

I heard a rumor. Rumor of my company. So with that said, I guess I don't have to explain any further on what kind of rumor I was referring to. With the economy keeps on going down the slump, there stands danger. My feelings about this? Honestly, it's a mix. I want it to happen. Crazy? Not sure but maybe I'm asking for an exit, a grand exit. Some of my friends have had success looking for a new opportunity. So I guess it's not really that gloomy. Oh well, we'll see.

Don't Laugh

Most ridiculous thing ever made by mankind:

Lip Gloss

April's Fool, Me :)

Fast forward it's April now. It's been a stressful journey for me for the past couple months with additional responsibilities on my tiny shoulders. I think I'm going to need to plan a de-stress vacation to relax very very soon, perhaps in the next 10 days? My boss is currently away for her honeymoon and I've been dragged into countless of meetings everyday, pretty much I've got no time to even sit down and complete my daily tasks. Yesterday my brain almost exploded, literally. I've been trying to organize my projects a little bit more efficiently but last minute meetings are killing it! Oh God...I can't imagine my workload on Monday. I guess another day in hell.

G-Man left for UK last week and surprisingly I've been coping extremely well, still sane to say the least. The only thing that I'm missing is him sitting by a corner typing his no nonsense stuff. It's nice to have him around as my silent companion. I know, we are like this boring couple who have had enough of each other! But this is life, isn't it? Can you still keep the sparks going after years and years of being together?

Shout out to my girl, Nico for being Gary's tour guide in UK! :)

I have 2 more weeks of freedom if anyone wants to hang out. ;)

More........Feb

Feeling rather lazy to accomplish any of those routine chores for the weekend, so, I'm here writing something again. For the past two days, I've been ill and staying home thinking that hibernation could be the answer to healing but I've been really naughty, most of the time, just playing computer games. G-man is now preparing dinner while I'm watching Oscar (Heath Ledger is a well deserving winner =)) and blowing my nose. Ugghhh...

It has been pouring for the last couple days and I'm really excited because at least my bum won't hurt when I land on the bed of snow next week. Yes! We are going for a ski trip next weekend! It's the first time this season and my first trip out of the city this year. My co-workers been teasing me for being a city rat. Haven't really been going anywhere apart from groceries! Oh, talking about going out, last Thursday we had a drinking session with some of those drunkards from my office and I ended up having this really horrible headache the next day and I knew it was time for me to quit drinking. Binge drinking is going to kill me someday so it's time to pull out! Well, one drink is still fine. So Eszter, don't fret, I'm not quitting it altogether. ;)

I have so many plans for the rest of the year. Seems like the year is passing by really quickly! Almost the end of February! Sweet Jesus, what have I accomplished so far? I was really unhappy last Friday at work because one of my co-workers has turned her back against me. I hate office politics! All of a sudden, she's not talking to me. Weird! Well if I said something that offended her, she should let me know. It's really depressing because she's not only a co-worker but also a friend. Now I shall call her "almost a friend". Oh well...I won't let that drag me down.

Ok on a happier note, I've been pretty lucky because our company had a good year and we're getting bonus! =) Really worthy of celebration! Woot, talking about motivation!

Alright, I'm out...

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas! I know this is a bit late but better late than never right?;)

Went for dim sum in the morning in Oakland and spent almost half a day there sitting, drinking tea and eating lots and lots of food! Well to me it's more about having a day off rather than enjoying Christmas day itself. So I didn't really think too much about planning a party or whatever, it's all about having a day off. After stuffing ourselves with food, we went home and I jumped back into bad and took a power nap which lasted about 2 hours. haha Super power nap! Well you see I was playing AOE3 the day before till around 4am and woke up pretty early, that's why the super nap came into the picture. I felt really good after some sleep and prepared myself again for some more food! We didn't have a specific restaurant in mind so we were kinda "shopping" for one that's available for the evening. We ended up going to the good old bobo's in the marina district for some fantastic steak and wine. So yummy as usual.

More AOE3 after dinner.......i'm such a pig..hehe oink oink..

Ok Merry Christmas again!!

Isa

Had so much fun with E and B dining out on Saturday over @ Isa. We should do this more often and let's get something more exotic next time, perhaps chicken feet ala Hungarian style? =)





The one and only blurry picture of the night, better than nothing LOL (Look at the expression on her face after she has de-virginized the goat cheese on her plate :P)

A Tough Tough World

It's weird to be blogging from the office but then, what can I do when it's time to go but I'm still sitting here, right? So I decided to snoop and see what's going with my deserted blog. Well, it's still here. I've been procrastinating lately I admit.

It's the time of the year again!! Wuuuhuuuu Halloween! Personally I have two parties that I'm going to attend but you guys know what, I have no costume. hahaha I'm such a procrastinator. LOL

Work is still the same but I'm bombarded with bigger workload. Well, to have a job during tough economy like now, I'm considered lucky. The unemployment rate is escalating and everyone is struggling with whatever mess that is going on.

A dude came into my office and stole some stuff from VP. A total random guy. How did he pass the security? Go figure.....

Ciao..
