Yogi Bear

This big guy has been in my cubicle all week. He's adorable... and ginormous (which is officially in the dictionary now). So, I've been hanging out with him every day and not doing any work. Excellent. I didn't know I was a dog-lover till now.

Optimus Prime Love

I FINALLY WATCHED TRANSFORMERS AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Ok, let's talk about the important stuff first... like what I did this weekend, duh. Friday, I went to Sarah's birthday dinner at a restaurant in Menlo Park called Shiok. It was good Singaporean/Malaysian (?) food. We ordered my favorite, Roti Canai, which is really just flatbread and dipping it in a curry sauce. Yum. They also had cute drinks, like sparking wine with lychee, but I didn't drink (shocking, I know). I'll have to try that next time. The restaurant was good enough that I'd go back. On Saturday, we decided to celebrate Pam's birthday (early) by taking her shopping at Valley Fair and Santana Row! Unfortunately, she had a bad shopping day and didn't end up buying anything. Haha. Ironic. But, we did have a nice early dinner at E&O Trading (the same restaurant we went to for George's birthday) and ate a ton! Not to mention that I basically finished off more than half a bottle of champagne since neither Christine nor Pam drink that much. All in all, it was another successful celebration for Pam. Awww...

Now, dun dun DUN! On Sunday, I finally saw Transformers! I thought it totally lived up to the hype. I mean, the visual effects were keeerazy! They made transforming cool. I loved Optimus Prime, Bumblebee (yes, I know he was an ugly VW Beetle in the cartoons), and SHIA LABEOUF!!! When did alien robots and Shia (little Even Stevens from the Disney channel) become so sexy??? Haha...no worries, Christy. He's yours. I have Justin Long.

I am loving summer movie season. Next up... Harry Potter, which comes out tomorrow... errr, tonight! I was really tempted to go to the midnight showing... just to see if anyone dresses up in costume. I mean, if people dress up for X-Men or Star Wars, I'm sure there are people out there that want to dress up as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. I mean, what could be more awesome?

This Just Can't Be Summer Love

July 4th falling on Wednesday makes being productive impossible. I might as well have taken this week off. Mondays are Mondays and I don't do much. Today is practically a Friday, so again, I'm not doing much. Thursday will basically be like a Monday because we're recovering from July 4th drinking. And then Friday is Friday and that's that. A whole week wasted. I take it back. This is a great week to be at work. I'm getting paid. Awesome.

A quick rundown of my last week/weekend. It was Flora's birthday last Monday... she's 24. We used to laugh at people who were 24 when we were in college. And now that's us. F---. I'm trying to convince her to move up here so that we can once again conquer the city. Woot. On Friday, Kirk (finally) visited me in Mountain View. I took him out to eat and attempted to get him drunk. But the night was cut short. Boo. Also, went to a house party and yeah... it was fun? Haha. Saturday, Christina and I headed out to the city for a fabulous shopping day (and haircut day for her). I bought stuff that I love, but I'm too lazy to describe it all here. That's Christy's blog, not mine. Later that night, we went to Ana Mandera for a party. It made me realize how much I don't like clubbing. Never again. Ok, I won't say never, but dare I say that we're too old? Time is creeping up on all of us. Scary. Then Sunday, I went to the Alameda County Fair. No, I'm not in high school. It was semi-fun. I ate funnel cake and won a baby goldfish by throwing a ping pong ball into a glass. I also watched Live Free or Die Hard, which was surprisingly very entertaining. I want to marry Justin Long. Nerds are hot.

As for tonight and tomorrow, I'm not 100% sure of what the plans are. Will is visiting again, so we'll be having a reunion as usual. I really want to watch Transformers and maybe License To Wed (only for JIM!). I also really want to bbq and eat meat. Lots to do. And of course, there will be alcohol.

I Do What I Want

It's not quite the weekend yet... since I'm still at work. I'm feeling really restless today for some reason. And usually on Fridays, I'm quite productive. That's because I freak out that I haven't done enough this past week. Somehow today, I'm just trying to get out of here. I think the panic will kick in at about 4pm. So, I have a couple of hours to kill before then. Haha. Not a good habit, I know. I'm working on it. The first step is acceptance, no?

I think my day was throw off because I ate a bagel (with a ton of veggie spread) this morning. And I've been incredibly full all day. Not a good thing. Especially since I ate a huge lunch too. Crap. The Google 15 is creeping up on me. It's ok. I've convinced myself that I'm going to start doing yoga with some guys from work. Yes, boys do yoga too. Care to join?

Anyways, I just talked Christy into playing DDR with me. Haha. Yes!!! It's something to pass the time. Too bad I'm wearing 4-inch heels today. Hopefully I won't break my neck... I'm going out tonight and this weekend, so that is NOT an option. And hey, fashion over function. That's the price girls pay for looking cute. Duh. I'm going to end this with another "I Do What I Want". Peace.

Summer Solstice

Today is supposed to be the "longest day" of the year. Just great. Do we really need another LONG day? I mean, it's gonna be light out longer meaning that this day will seem NEVERending. And I'm just trying to get to Friday... as fast as possible. Aren't we all?

Anyways, I guess most of my days have been feeling longer than usual since I've been burying myself in my work for the past couple of weeks. This means that I wake up, check my work email, drive to work, work 8+ hours, go home, and do more work. Albeit, I find myself reading blogs, shopping, watching videos, etc. from time to time. But, I still feel as though work as taken over my life. I eat, drink, sleep WORK. I probably just need to see a shrink. Hmmm... or sit on the beanbag in Christy and Brian's office. That's the closest thing to a shrink I can get.

Well, I suppose the good thing is that today is the official first day of summer. Whatever. That doesn't change anything. We still have to work... EVERY day. It's just sunnier outside, but we're stuck indoors with no windows, so it might as well be raining outside cuz I won't notice. Ridiculous.

Let's end this entry on a positive note. This is the adorable purse I saw this past weekend and fell in love with. Awww...

Another Shoe-Day

Cute, but is it practical? I mean, forget the heel height for a minute... and notice that it's a LINEN shoe with a leather belt. Hmmm it's kinda like pants on your feet, no? Har har har. Seems a little odd now that I think about it.

Chill Out

Lately, I think everyone just needs to chill the f--- out. Seriously. By everyone, I really mean just me. Haha. I know that I haven't been updating this blog as much as I should. But, honestly, there really isn't anything exciting going on in my life. Well, nothing that is shareable. Sorry.

To get everyone up to speed, last week was not a fun week. Just a lot of stress at work and on top of that, my favorite necklace (yes, the cross that I constantly wear) was involved in a freak accident that left it swimming down my sink drain. I was upset for an entire day... until the plumber took my whole sink apart and found it. Hallelujah! I guess that's really all the news from last week. Thinking about it... that's pretty pathetic. To each his/her own.

This past weekend was, again, pretty boring. I didn't do anything too crazy... unless you count eating dim-sum twice to be craaazy. I mean... all that animal fat and oil, it probably is as crazy as it gets. Oh I guess watching Fantastic Four 2 was also crazy. Worst dialogue EVER. Don't tell me it's "supposed to be like that". It was laaame. Even Jessica Alba can't save it. I'm ready to see Transformers, yeah?

And really... that is all the updates I have. Two weeks summarized in less than two minutes. I live an exciting life.

This post is dedicated to Brian Johnson who tells me daily how I should just delete this blog if I'm never going to update. Well, Brian, I was about to delete when I decided just to suck it up and update. Happy? Never.

It's June?

June 1st marks the beginning of summer for me. I'm going to leave all the old baggage behind and start new. Woot!

Anyways, this week was supposed to feel short because of the lack of work on Monday for Memorial Day, but instead... it felt LONGER. I think it's also because I drank for about 7 days straight. I'm going to to die soon.

What is everyone doing this weekend?
