I have work tomorrow from 8-11am. SCORE! 🙂

I’m going to do a little shopping in the city. Fun fun fun. I don’t even understand why I need to go in to work. Oh well. I’m not complaining.

I realized today that kids freak me out. My boss brought her 7-year old son to work today and of course, while she was out at meetings, *I* was the one who got to watch over him and keep him entertained. I swear, I don’t think I ever want to have kids now. He’s the sweetest boy — but he was so damn hyper! Gah, he made my head spin

Friday Five:

Who is your favorite celebrity?
Joshua Jackson. Just cause he’s cute. 😛

Who is your least favorite?
J. Lo. There’s just something about her that really bugs me.

Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?
When I was 15, I was flying from LA to San Francisco and Alicia Silverstone was on my flight. It was the summer that Clueless came out so she was swarmed by quite a few teenage boys who wanted to take pictures with her. I also saw Tracey Gold (Carol Seaver from Growing Pains) when I was at Universal City Walk. Or at least I remember thinking that was her.

Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?
No, not really — I like my anonymity too much. 🙂

If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?
Either Katie Holmes or Michelle Williams. They get to work with Josh Jackson. What could be better than that? 😉

BTW, Becca, Nicola and Angie — I haven’t forgotten about your requests! I will try to get it done tomorrow when I get home. Yay for short work days!

my brand-spanking new LJ

Posted on by

So… I have an LJ now. hee.

This blog will definitely still be my primary place of rambling — the LJ will serve as a device to stalk others. mwahahaha. 🙂 Anyway, if you’d like to see it — go here. The pink may be a tad bright but I think that’s part of its charm. 😉 Let me know if any of you out there has an LJ — I need more friends! lol. Anyway, much love and thanks to Amy for hooking me up with a code. You’re a star!

Hmm… Friday Five…

What was the first band you saw in concert?
Boyz II Men. When we were 15, my friends and I flew all the way to Las Vegas from Southern CA just to see them. Fun times.

Who is your favorite artist/band now?
Oh no, I’m kind of a flighty person when it comes to “favorites.” My preferences change constantly. But as of right now, I’d have to say I’m in love with Good Charlotte, Linkin Park, Justin Timberlake, Norah Jones and Dashboard Confessional.

What’s your favorite song?
Etta James’s At Last. Classic. Soulful.

If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
I have absolutely no interest in playing an instrument, lol. But if I must, I’d probably want to learn how to play the violin — for no other reason than it looks cool.

If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why?
Janet Jackson. She’s my performing idol. Plus, I want to find out how to get her abs of steel, heh.

Btw, Becca — I would be so thankful if you showed me where to find that thumbnail maker — I have no patience for creating them!

faith rocks

Posted on by

I watched Angel last night. And I just may watch it again.

To be quite honest, I’ve never really been interested in the show. I watched a few episodes when it first started but then it kept changing nights (damn WB!) and I just never followed it. But I heard Faith was coming back so I had to tune in — and wow, I really liked it! 🙂 Didn’t really know what the hell was going on — reign of fire? The Beast? Angel has a kid? Cordy is evil? What?!? — but I still enjoyed it cause… well, Faith rocks. And Wesley rocks. And Gunn is cute. And Angelus isn’t so bad either. hee. I’m in love with Faith/Wesley and Faith/Gunn — pretty much anyone and Faith is good to me. 😛

I’m listening to Loveline right now — only because my boyfriend Joshua Jackson is a guest! Love him… and his voice. *sigh* But seriously, some of these callers are freaking me out. ::shudders::

Doing the Friday Five:

1. What was the last song you heard? Big Blue Sea by Bob Schneider. I’m currently in love with this song — it reminds me of Pacey and Joey stuck in K-Mart!

2. What were the last two movies you saw? Daredevil and Unfaithful… both pretty mediocre movies, imo.

3. What were the last three things you purchased? Hmmm… 1) zucchini soup at the San Francisco Soup Company for lunch, 2) caramel macchiato from Starbucks for the morning pick me up and 3) a tank top/camisole thingy from the Gap.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend? Definitely 1) vacuum my apartment, 2) do my laundry, 3) buy groceries! I have no food!, and 4) finish watching my Buffy s3 DVDs. Pretty exciting weekend to look forward to, lol.

5. Who are the last five people you talked to? My boyfriend Rob, my trainer Carol, my bosses Kathleen and Lorene and my co-worker Ava. It’s all about work for me these days. Boo.

tired as hell

Work has seriously been kicking my butt.

My boss was in town these past few days (she’s a West Coast Manager so she divides her time between LA and SF) so she’s been piling project after project on my desk. I’m not really complaining — it’s nice to be busy but… geesh. Ever since Wednesday morning, when she walked in the door, I’ve had this horrible knot in the back of my neck. And throughout the day, it progressively becomes a full-on headache. Not the most pleasant feeling while you’re trying to do lots of things at once. Boo.

justin concert

Sooo… I might go see Justin Timberlake when he comes to the Oakland Arena, hee. Tickets go on sale Sunday morning so we’ll see if I actually wake up on time to buy them. I can be so lazy on the weekends.

There’s one thing that I absolutely adore about Windows XP — when you set an image as your desktop background and have it centered, it resizes it to fit your entire screen without ruining the quality of the original image. It’s awesome and I love it. It means that I can still use all the 800×600 wallpapers that I’ve made on my 1600×1200 screen. Yay for me.

Doing the Friday Five because I have nothing else to blog about —

What is your most prized material possession? I don’t know really… my computer? 😛

What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest? Stuffed animals that I got when I was a wee young ‘un. I don’t have the heart to throw them out.

Are you a packrat? I go through phases of being a packrat. Sometimes I keep absolutely anything and everything. And then the next week I’ll turn around and go through a phase of throwing it all out. What can I say? I’m weird.

Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum? I’d *like* a spic-and-span clean apartment but sadly, that’s not the case. But it’s not really cluttered either. We have a lot of stuff but everything has its place. I used to be a clean freak but I’ve become a lot more lenient since living with boys, lol.

Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there? No themes. Though I wish I had the time and the money to properly decorate. As it stands, my room screams “post-college.” I still have all my college textbooks on my bookshelf and a bunch of random papers on my desk.

my bloggity blog

Ummm, so I hope everyone is having a spectacular Valentine’s Day. 🙂 I’m just killing some time — Rob is watching the Laker game and then we’re going to go see Daredevil! Very excited — I love Ben and Jen(nifer Garner, not J.Lo). Will do the Friday Five:

Explain why you started to journal/blog. No particular reason — I just wanted to have a place to write down all my random thoughts.

Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not? Less than 10 people in my “real” life know about my site… my boyfriend, my best friends, my cousin and a few others. And I’d like to keep it that way — I haven’t really had to “rant” about anything but if there ever comes a time, I like to think that my blog is the place where I can be completely honest about anything.

Do you have a theme for your journal/blog? Nope — I write about anything and everything that comes to my head. I do tend to write about television quite a bit though. What can I say? I’m a TV whore. 😛

What direction would you like to have your journal/blog go in over the next year? Eh… my blog has no focus.

Pimp five of your favorite journals/blogs. I can’t choose! All my dailies are my favorites. 🙂

breakfast foods

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGIE!

Doing the Friday Five because I have absolutely nothing to blog about —

What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn’t have breakfast, why not? I had McDonald’s for breakfast! I’m such a sucker for their breakfast menu. I had a sausage mcmuffin, hash browns, and coffee with lots of cream and sugar. 🙂 Yuuummm… I love breakfast. I can eat breakfast foods at all times of the day and I would be happy. Mmmm.

What’s your favorite cereal? Well, my favorite sugary-y cereals are Corn Pops and Apple Jacks but if I also really love Special K with red berries even though it’s one of the more “healthy” cereals.

How often do you eat out? Do you want that to change? Rob and I eat out for dinner about 1-2 times a week. And I buy lunch a few times during the week while I’m at work. I’m trying my hardest to bring my lunch because all the food expenses really add up. But I get so lazy and forget to prepare it. Eh.

What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Got a recipe for that? I don’t even want to think about it.

What’s your favorite restaurant? Why? Probably Macaroni Grill… I loooove pasta dishes, specifically the Pasta Milano that they serve. It’s heavenly. 😛

sooo bored

It was definitely a horrible way to start my day by turning on the TV and seeing all the images and the press coverage of the Columbia tragedy. I want to extend my sympathy to the families of those who died. They will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

*sigh* So… even though it’s Saturday, I’m gonna do the Friday Five —

As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why? I really loved She-Ra, Princess of Power! She rocked. And she had a cool castle too.

What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got? Hmm… I have to admit that I was pretty spoiled as a child… you know, that whole only child thing. But I did want one of those Easy Bake ovens, hee.

What’s the furthest from home you’ve been? The furthest I’ve been from home is probably going to the Philippines or to Hong Kong. I’m not exactly sure which one is farther. The plane ride is about 14-15 hours long. It’s pretty horrifying because I can’t stand airplane bathrooms. *shudders*

What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to learn but haven’t yet? Uhhh… learn to cook? lol. As my boyfriend can attest to, my cooking skills are pretty much non-existent.

What are your plans for the weekend? Not much — just relaxing before my first day of work on Monday!

OMG! Sometimes I can’t believe my extreme lack of self-control! I went over to Alias Media and looked at the screen caps and watched the clips for tomorrow’s episode. *shakes head*

omg! alias!

I have no words for tonight’s episode of Alias. WOW. I’m still in total shock. Eeeee! Ahem… I think I might just have to start reading spoilers for this show because I seriously can’t survive not knowing what’s going to happen. If anyone knows a good spoiler board, let me know! 😛

Hmm… so I watched the Super Bowl — and I have 2 new favorite commercials (see, I really do watch the SB for the commercials)!

1. The VISA check card commercial with Yao Ming (the Houston Rockets basketball player). I loved how everyone was like “Yo!” and he kept saying “Yao!” heh.

2. Another Yao Ming commercial. This time for Apple. It was so cute how he was sitting next to Verne Troyer (Mini-Me from Austin Powers) and he had the smaller 12in. laptop while Verne had the bigger 17in. laptop. Fun fun.

Ooo-kay, then… I will answer the Seven on Sunday.

Seven Things That Never Fail to Cheer You Up
1. watching classic Pacey and Joey episodes of DC
2. desserts — strawberry pie, pistachio almond ice cream, brownies…
3. receiving a compliment
4. having a good conversation with friends
5. redesigning my site
6. going shopping 🙂
7. re-reading my Harry Potter books

real world/road rules

For some reason, I’ve become really into Real World and Road Rules again — my obsession goes through phases, I guess. Sometims I love certain seasons (namely RW Hawaii and New Orleans) and then other times, I’m completely indifferent (RW Chicago and RR The Quest). But right now, with the crazy cast of Las Vegas and the hilarious antics of the Battle of the Sexes, I have become obsessed again. I’ll even watch the ten million reruns that MTV shows of each episode. *shakes head* But what I’ve found to be really interesting after watching the new Battle of the Sexes episodes, is to read the recaps done by three cast members: Colin from RW 8 Hawaii, Melissa from RW 9 New Orleans, and Lori from RW 10 New York. The 3 of them put up their recaps after a new episode airs on Monday nights. They shed a lot of light about the editing and stuff that happens behind the scenes. They’re all pretty interesting reads — like in Melissa’s blog, she mentions that Jon Murray (one of the creators) thanked her for the fight she had with Julie in the first episode. That’s just weird.

Anyway… time for the Friday Five:

What is one thing you don’t like about your body? I’m too short. I’m like 5 ft. 2 in. or something. I hate it mostly because when I buy pants, I always have to have them hemmed. What a pain.

What are two things you love about your body? Uhhh, I don’t really love anything but I guess I like my smile and my arms.

What are three things you want to change about your home? Well first, I really dislike all the wires that we have running from the 4 computers to the hub that’s located in the living room. We tried to get them as close to the wall as possible but they still bother me. Secondly, I wish that we had another room so that Rob’s desk didn’t have to be in the corner of the living room. And lastly, I wish I had a bigger closet. I have too many clothes.

What are four books you want to read this year? Hmm… The Nanny Diaries, The Lovely Bones, A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

What are five promises you have kept to yourself? I’ve been pretty good about cooking food at home as opposed to always going out to eat. I have decreased my clothes shopping considerably — but I think that might be due to the fact that I have no disposable income to use! I don’t procrastinate as much as I used to when it comes to cleaning my apartment. I’ve started to go through, clean and throw out the contents of various boxes that have been under my bed since I moved in a year ago. That’s only 4 but I can’t think of anything else…

Ok, this is too long already… need to sleep.
