• When people think ko0ty means “cutie.” It does not and I hate being called cute.
• People who say they are on a “zero-carb” diet and I’m watching them pig out on fruit.
• When we go for Chinese fine-dining and someone wants to order Sweet and Sour Pork.
• When we have “Chinese” days on the menu and it’s always the same 3 things: Sweet and Sour Pork, Kung Pao Chicken and Beef Stir-fry. Most Chinese people I know would never eat that stuff… it’s like our equivalent of Big Macs and cheeseburgers.
• When they charge $7 for a tiny ass bowl of Pho at the cafeteria that’s not even authentic Pho.
• People who don’t eat vegetables.
• I said this a billion times but I’d love to say it again: people who don’t take off their shoes in their house… and then lies on [or rolls around] the floor. Eg. the Kardashians— just watch their show! Just because you live in L.A. where you rarely get rain and snow doesn’t mean you don’t have dog shit, caked cat pee and e-coli under your shoes. And did you know that walking around barefoot [around your house] is the easiest way to keep your feet muscles strong?
• That my belly ring is crooked.
• When girls brag about starving themselves. Is that something to be proud of? If you actually did some research, you can eat all the things you love and still be slim. *points and laughs*
• When you can’t decide what color to dye your hair.
• When Youtube beauty gurus babble on too much in their videos. GET TO THE FREAKING POINT!! I don’t care what you had for breakfast today.
• Don’t understand: the point in making VIDEOS of “what’s in your purse” or your hauls when you can just take a picture of it. I’m nosey but I’d rather take a 30 second glance than watch a 10 minute video of boring babbling.
• With that being said, I hate it when excitedly open a link and it turns out to be a VIDEO or a SLIDESHOW (damn you FitSugar for your endless and annoying slideshows!!).

I found this extremely old and LONG draft listing all my pet peeves that I probably wrote when I was an extremely angry high school student. I’m a happier person now but I’m still judgemental SO here’s a shorter version.

• Drivers who don’t signal. It’s not that hard to make it a habit!! I signal even when driving on an empty street at 3am.
• Social Smokers. Example: people who only smoke in a club’s smoke pit [just because everyone else is doing it].
• People who talk (or text!) on their cellphones while driving. Thank god they may be banning this in BC. I was reading Facebook feeds the other day and surprised to see so many people complaining about this… at least now I know who the shitty drivers are. NO ONE use their cellphones and drive “normally” and if you think you can, YOU CAN’T.
• Cheap people. It’s one thing to be cheap and wanting to save your money but it’s an entirely different thing to be cheap and mooch off your friends!!
• People who seem to be “looking for” special treatment on their birthdays. Little do they know, no one gives a shit that it’s your birthday. Birthdays aren’t a big deal to me and it just an excuse to party but I usually don’t tell anyone when it is if I can avoid it, in fact, I hate people saying “happy birthday” to me. At work, they use to decorate your cube on your birthday and I use to dread it but now they just send out an email to the team but at least it’s not as conspicuous as balloons!
• Not really a pet peeve, but I don’t understand how some people can be so stupid and naive. If your life is full of drama, you have no one to blame but yourself.

What are your pet peeves?

• Last weekend, a friend joked that whenever the Canucks lose a game, it’s never the players’ fault. It’s always the fault of a person who didn’t (or did) wear their jersey during the game, or if someone took down their car flags, went to the washroom while the other team has a power-play, ate the last chicken wing, etc. We always need to blame someone but the players. So funny and so true. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted! GO CANUCKS GO (next season)!!
• I hate dancing with other people at clubs (whether it be with guys or girls). I’m often found at the side of the group dancing by myself so I can go at my own beat and I think it looks disgustingly desperate when girls are constantly grinding up with each other.
• When my friends and I were 12, we went to a open house with a fake German accent (we’re Asian) and tried to trick the realtor that we were going to buy the house. We really thought he believed us too.
• It breaks my heart when blogs I use to enjoy to read suddenly turn into an outlet for ugly advertisements and paid posts. PLEASE DON’T DO THIS, MY LOVELY BLOGGERS.
• I’ve been eating like crazy this past week and haven’t been going to the gym regularly because of schedule conflicts. Not the mention that my cube at work is stuffed with chips, chocolate (and all things unhealthy) and my mini-fridge is filled with sugary juices, pop, popsicles (and beer that’s not mine). But guess what? I’M GUILT-FREE! Why live when you’re going to feel guilty about what you eat? I LURVE FOOD.
• What do you find when you Google “chinese honger“?

  
  OMG. Ahahahaha I couldn’t stop laughing!!!
  (Damn I should’ve photoshopped my roots out in that picture.)

• Random Mochi pic:

  

• KOREANS ARE TAKING OVER MY LIFE. You can blame them for neglecting my blog the last couple of weeks. :blush:

• Boyfriend doesn’t always let me sleep in. He makes me wake up sooo early (at 11am!!) when I want to sleep until 3… but then what is a hungry man suppose to do. I guess it’s not his fault I make him go for late lunches all the time.
• I’m lazy, but I’m especially lazy on Sundays…
• …and Sundays are one of the days I always force myself to go work out when I’d rather be stuffing myself with mac and cheese and Korean seafood pancakes.
• I always feel so bloated because we always go out for a huge and filling dinner on Saturdays nights; this time it was all-you-can-eat hot pot with lots of sliced fish, mussels and oysters… mmm.
• Ferrero Rochers are on sale which doesn’t help the diet at all (and that mango/peach smoothie I made for myself).

  

• Worse of all, you know you have to go back to work the next day and there is no good breakfast special I look forward to on Mondays… breakfast quesadillas? How uninteresting. I want my breakfast wrap!!

Random pictures of the day:

“Nooo this is how a cowboy looks like!!” … featuring their HSM hat.

Speaking of Highschool Musical, we took the kids to see HSM on Ice last weekend and I seriously got so bored I had to whip my iPod (and I felt bad afterwards). I wish I was young again so those things could actually keep me entertained. I guess it didn’t help much that we missed the first half hour of it due to that horrible accident on the highway that morning. When we were driving out to Maple Ridge at around 10am to pick up the kids, the traffic was crawling through slowly and when we were going back at around 3, there was still traffic. It makes me sooo angry when idiots drive on the HOV lane when they’re not suppose to; that’s karma for them which they totally deserve but not the other vehicles involved and everyone else who gets stuck in traffic. It also doesn’t make sense why HOV lanes aren’t opened up to everybody when it’s not rush hour because it’s obvious they don’t help much when it’s not.

There’s been something that’s been irritating me lately. It’s when people get so use to seeing certain things the way they are but when something suddenly appears differently, they refuse to accept it and welcome it with an open mind.

Lately, I’ve been thinking of what makes me different in the way I think and the things I do in relation to everyone else I know. If there’s something that I’m afraid of, it’s losing my identity and just being a clone of everyone else. Of course, I would never deliberately change my opinions just to be different but if I do think or do something differently than others, then I definitely won’t be ashamed to admit it and I’ll tell the world, not like anyone would care but still! I use to be really judgmental when it comes to these things when I was younger but I’ve become a better person now due to being more accepting.

People like to make fun of me for reading so much and what do I do in response to that? I’ll whip out my 1300 paged book and start reading right in front of them. If people ask me why the hell I’m listening to so and so while driving, I’ll just blast the music even louder (besides, you’re in MY car). I know they’re joking but my point is that there’s nothing wrong in doing something you love even if other people like to criticize it.

I remember when Facebook officially switched to their new look, I changed my status to “I LOVE the new FB!” because I was getting 20 invitations a day to groups hating on the new look. A friend asked me if I only did it because everyone else was being a hater and to tell you the truth, I did. Don’t get me wrong, I actually liked the new look A LOT but the only reason I did it was to differentiate myself from everyone else and hopefully piss some people off in the process because their non-stop whining was getting unbearable. I bet most of them are those who would stick animated GIFS and backgrounds and other atrocities on pages if they could anyway.

Another example is when I changed my font size to something overwhelmingly big last week. There was generally positive feedback but a lot of people also thought it was way too big… of course I totally respect their opinions but it just goes to show how change isn’t easily accepted. I realized that the huge font doesn’t work with my particular theme but I still think the huge font DOES work. Check out diaua.com for example, It’s an image-less layout and I think the huge font looks awesome and appealing; but not surprisingly, she some lost points for the overwhelming font size (like I did) on rev.iew.me. Apparently, if it doesn’t look like your standard blog, then it’s not up to par. The whole topic is a little controversial though because you’re suppose to design a website for the visitor in mind but still, it’s a shame. And just for the record, my next theme will have a 14pt size, like it or not. Hehehe. Luckily, all you have to do it a CTRL + or – if you don’t like it!

^ I know the above paragraph is a teeny-bit irrelevant but I just had to add it in there to justify my thoughts on my huge-ass font!

That was a lot of rambling up there (something I’m good at) but if you didn’t read the whole thing, the point I was trying to get across is: DON’T BE AFRAID TO THINK DIFFERENTLY DESPITE OTHER PEOPLE’S CRITICISMS. In the end, you’re the winner because you’ve made yourself stand out from the rest of the crowd.
