today is...

gloomy.

bye bye february aka BUSY month! moving onto march...

february was quite a busy month for me, here is why:
- back to back doctor appts
- job offer
- housewarming
- surf city half
- chinese new year
- pasadena half
- starting my new job (the day after the pasadena half)
- sd w/ my best friend
- praying w/ fam

the last time i was that busy every wknd was in december.  overall, february was a good month.  i just felt accomplished, and that just puts a smile on my face.  the exciting news about march is moving.  i'm very excited.  we'll have plenty of space, and now my stuff will be stored!  looking forward to it!  okay, that's all for now... time to shower!

long multi-holiday weekend

i can't tell whether or not i'm in work mode.  yes, i am productive (as usual), but i'm taking my time between finishing up some stuff and cleaning up.  this is my last week, and i'm excited, even tho today just feels like an ordinary day.  three days left.

a lot went on this past weekend - chinese new year, valentine's day, and president's day.  i went home early on friday, too, so that made it feel even longer.  my babe and i took a stroll around old town, did a bit of shopping, and ran into my lil bro (what a surprise!).  saturday was all about chinese new year.  from spending a couple hours grocery shopping (my first time spending $300 at the asian market) to prepping dinner and family time, it was good.  since chinese new year was all about family time (altho a couple ppl didn't show up), i stayed up in the av til 11pm.  i didn't make it to join my babe at his friend's wedding reception (since it ended at 11 as well).  overall, it was great.  mike drove down from norcal to join, which made it feel more altogether, the way this holiday should be celebrated.  everyone had a great time (even tho the mother and younger sis didn't show up).  lots of laughs and reminiscing.  on sunday, even tho it was vday, i was drained from the previous day.  we ended up just staying in lounging and watching the all-star game.  crazy crazy crazy stadium!  vday was just an ordinary day for us, which we were fine with.  but yay for the vday purchases.  =)  sleeping in yesterday felt really good.  we made our waffles (a norm for the weekends when there are no plans) and watched some tv.  we were supposed to go to the huntington library but ended up not going.  that will be saved for another day.  instead, we walked to old town.  why go back when we had already went a few days back?  all monday morning, i started browsing for shoes.  i got ATTACHED to a pair of heels i saw on the kenneth cole website.  since i wanted comfy heels to wear (for outings and occasionally to work), i wanted to buy them.  fortunately, there's a kenneth cole store in old town.  ahh, what a coincidence!  heh.  so yes, we went straight there and made that purchase!  we then went to the paseo and browsed some more.  we went home w/ a pair of gorgeous heels for me and a shirt for my babe.  now i want to go back to macy's to purchase a cardigan.  once i have that, i'm all set for my new job!  work pants - check!  work-appropriate tops - check! heels - check! cardigan - almost check!  =)

a few things to wait to happen - pasadena half, job transition, cleaning, celebration... this has been a busy month.  busy yet exciting.  =)

i love my babe.

go away, it's not my day

not in a good mood today, so leave me alone.

not even in the mood to eat

not even in the mood to drink

not even in the mood to smile

not even in the mood to chit chat

not even in the mood to listen to ne-yo

yes, it's one of those days.

i'm unhappy

i'm ugly

i'm super fat

i'm upset

i'm pissed

it's not my day

i've made my choice, and that ain't changing.

not my thing, and it never will be.  i can keep trying, but it won't do anything, i'm sure of it. f*ck no.

childish ways

ppl could be so immature and childish in handling situations.  i just can't wait til next friday.  this is just lame.

bye bye january, busy busy february!

january went by pretty fast.  i have been focusing my attention elsewhere, away from training.  i really need to get that in order.  i will.  soon.  after i hear the good news.  i know that i've been unhappy at the workplace, and it just doesn't help when i get home.  that mood, lack of motivation, is from the blah day at work. 

my babe and i had an early vday celebration, mainly because we wanted to make use of dinela week.  oh boy, we were stuffed!  aside from the ugly traffic we dealt w/, dinner was great.  

so now comes february.  it started out w/ such wonderful news!  on thursday, it became official!  i received a phone call from julie to offer me the senior analyst position over in the dean's office.  of course, i said I ACCEPT!  i'm soo glad that this great opportunity came my way.  it really helps to have good support, for ppl to see and appreciate all the hard work one's done.  i will start my new job in 2 weeks.  i'm super super super excited!  thanks babe for helping me and pushing me to believe this could happen for me!

this morning was the surf city half.  all i could say is that i survived!  i walked a lot of it cuz my legs were in extreme pain.  i'm just glad i finished.  i didn't care about the time.  sigh, two weeks will be the pasadena one.  i can't wait for that one to be over, too.  yes, i will train for the one in july.  now that i might have a bit of extra time when i start my new job (work hrs will be different).  i can't wait!

counting down...

is it friday yet???
