This weekend I:

• Fell in love with the weather when it became cold and wet… time to pull out the jackets, scarves and boots!! Actually I already started weeks ago… when it was still sunny. I’m sorry but I couldn’t wait any longer. Anyway, I’m lucky I’m not in school anymore or else I’d be complaining 24/7 since I’d be bussing in the rain!
• Pigged out like crazy and gained back all the weight I lost (when Boyfriend went on vacation). This is what happens when you have a boyfriend… all you do is eat. Plus his mom’s home-cooked Vietnamese food is sooo good.
• Went for dim sum and FINALLY got my chicken feet. Mmm. Total satisfaction.
• Went to an Asian supermarket and went crazy with junkfood, green tea, snacks …and 2 chickens.
• Watched Traitor, Pulse (retarded but I was in a mood for a “scary” movie) and Nim’s Island. Nim’s Island has been on PPV for weeks and I can’t believe I never watched it until now… it’s one of those guilty pleasure kids’ movies that I love.
• Had the most satisfying bubble tea. Ever. At Bubble Queen in Richmond.
• Learned how to say “I don’t know how to speak Vietnamese” in Viet because some people in Boyfriend’s family keep on forgetting and I’m just standing there nodding awkwardly and pretend I know what’s going on while they babble away… then I run away when they turn around. Now my Viet vocabulary has expanded from “eat rice,” “go home,” “pussy-face” and “noodles.”
• Went on a hunt for Asian fashion magazines.
• Resisted the temptation to buy more books. It was hard because even Boyfriend was nice about it when I said I wanted to go to Chapters (since it IS my third home). He usually complains and acts as if it’s the end of the world.
• Worked, worked, worked and worked. Managed to roll out 4 mock ups.

Mochi a little frazzled after rolling around my bed and needing a hair cut (I was washing my sheets so that’s why my bed is bare).

Cutest little girl ever! ♥

I haven't written anything about my personal life in a while (this IS a personal site) so I just thought I'd update. Post is private of couse because I like to know whose reading this shit. =)  [login to continue]

So I purchased a puppy from a breeder in mid-April and brought her home after my parents swore that we will NEVER raise a dog in their house (we told them that we were babysitting Mochi for a friend).

Forward to a couple months later a.k.a. right now, the topic of “who is Mochi’s real owner?!” is a topic we ALL avoid at our house because my parents (especially Mother) LOVES her to death. Thank god because now my sister and I don’t ever have to bring up the truth (that we all know, but don’t speak about). Of course, my extremely smart and observant grandmother was the first one to say to me, “you bought that dog didn’t you?” and then she asked me why didn’t I get a cuter dog!!! So I accused her of calling Mochi ugly (she was just kidding of course)! Her idea of a cute puppy is probably a white or light-colored puppy and probably a Shitz Zhu or something. But I wanted a black puppy because I know most girls would probably want a white one and I don’t like being “most girls.”

But my Momo is still soo cute! She’s grown from about 1.5lbs to 4lbs, her eyes are no longer blue though and these were pics before she got a hair cut (she looks all ruffled in the third one because she was rolling around). Sorry, pics are blurry because my camera is broken.

Her hobbies include:

• still peeing on the ground (right beside her pee-box, not in it)…
• …and then running away to hide under the couch everytime we catch her
• playing with Elmo
• being spoiled
• begging for food
• barking at big dogs
• sleeping at the top of the couch

My biggest fear is her getting fat (like a dog I know)! My mom keeps on giving her food and treats but thankfully she jogs with my dad everyday. Poor thing.

Mochi training is coming along great! She already does her business in her pee-pad which we’ll probably move outside soon. She whimpers and stares at us with her huge, sad-looking eyes after we stop playing with her and put her back in her kennel but quickly stops and plays to her toys instead. She’s crazy, curious and adventurous. She’s tiny but after a couple of tries, she found out that she can jump on top of her crate so she can attempt a mischievous escape from her metal fence. Too bad that she made that successful attempt in front of us!

Good thing that my sister is taking care of her and training her because I’m usually not at home. If she finds a summer job then Mochi will be screwed because she’ll be stuck at home with my dad all day who likes to shine a flashlight in her face when she least expects it and gives her false hope when he turns off the light when she is trying to chase it.

But at least I know my parents secretly love her. I found out that my mom was bitten by a dog when she was young so that’s why we don’t have pets but I think she’ll be able to warm up to Mochi. She lied to us all these years and told us they were allergic (just like how they promised to take us to Disneyland when I was 5, 7, 8, and 10 but I didn’t get to go until I was 14).

I hope to teach her the phrase “Mochi, go take a shit” soon and also teach her to hump Boyfriend’s legs when she sees him (just because it will be funny) except I don’t even know if female dogs even do that.

I originally wanted a male puppy but we ended up falling in love with Mochi. She’s sooo damn moody though and gets pissed off at you and totally ignores you if you put her back in her kennel but that’s what we get for getting a female. Oh well, she’s my 420 bitch! At least I’ll never forget the day I bought her home. LOL.
