It’s that time of month again… when WordPress releases another update. Screw that. I wish I could get rid of that “A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now.” at the top of my WP admin panel because it looks annoying and these updates ALWAYS breaks my plugins and everyone knows that I am so not a web programmer so I can’t do anything about it except get frustrated. Just don’t give me anything including any kind logic or numbers because my brain would just stop functioning. It’s sad because I’m suppose to be “creative” since that’s the only functional side of my brain yet I haven’t done anything really creative in a long time (that’s unpaid for a.k.a. on my own time).

I think the hardest part about being a “designer” is that I’m always so critical of my own work and always give myself a hard time when I “release” anything to the public. The general public usually won’t even notice or critique your work but you know where all the flaws are and what parts of the design you didn’t have time to “perfect” which in my case, is usually 90% of it. Another thing I’m also plagued with impatience and I usually try to finish something too quickly so it’s never as good as it could be, or else I just loose motivation and give up. This, I’ve been doing a lot lately. “You are your own worst critic.” Oh really?

Anyway, I was practing saying Chuc Mung Nam Moi with Boyfriend last night and I got it except I can never pronounce the “moi” part right, so I keep on saying “Happy Salt Year!” or “Happy Beggar Year!” Or “Happy Cloudy Year!” But yeah, I give up; Vietnamese is too hard for my Chinaman brain. Chuc mung nam moi… lemon fat thai! Ahahahah.

Goddamnit. I had a whole list of things to write yesterday morning when I was driving to work and now I forgot ALL of them. I’ve been on a blogging rampage since last July but is it finally coming to an end? :shocked:

I just watched two seasons of one of my guilty pleasure TV shows and now all I wanna do is swear, swear and swear (but not in a way to offend anyone). I’m saying what I’m typing in my head but when I read it over, it just makes me sound more of a bitch than I already am and how I use to write back in the day so I went back and censored out as much as I can.

Here’s an article I read on a forum that I always wanted to post but I never found the source for it. Until now…

Richmond is one of Canada’s top two havens for stores selling counterfeit goods.

But a local company that for years thumbed its nose at the federal courts has had its nose rubbed in one of the largest judgments of its kind in Canada. K2 Fashion, which operated out of Parker Place Mall, was ordered last week to pay $260,000 in compensation to Louis Vuitton by Judge Judith Snider of the Federal Court of Canada.

K2’s profit from the sale of fake Louis Vuitton merchandise was estimated at about $90,000 every year, said Vancouver lawyer Michael Manson, who represented Louis Vuitton…

How come it’s my people whose flooding the world with counterfeit items? How embarassing but I guess that’s how we’re gonna take over the world someday.

And damn all of you with a fake version of the Chanel bag that I’m saving up for! :@ Just joking. Not really (_{I’m mad!!!}).

Here’s another interesting article: The 53 Places to go in 2008

Oh I almost forgot. Laibar Singh friggin’ won another freaking reprieve to stay in the country!!! If there is one thing that I’m TOTALLY AGAINST, it is ILLEGAL immigrants and refugees who come into OUR country under false pretenses and expects equal rights and benefits coming from OUR tax dollars. This is not about race; if this man was Chinese my opinion still wouldn’t change because this man is a LIAR. On the Bill Good Show yesterday morning (this must’ve been one of those things I knew I had to blog about), someone argued they come here illegally because they don’t have the resources to leave their own country or they simply can’t. The reply? IS THAT OUR PROBLEM? Hell freaking no.

As demonstrated yet again by another botched deportation attempt for Laibar Singh, not even the most rational arguments about immigration and refugee issues have been able to subdue the passionate backlash that, in Canada, has dogged all efforts to reform the system. It has been hijacked by a self-serving, lucrative and all-powerful immigration industry of refugee lawyers, politically appointed Immigration and Refugee Board judges and the demographic dictates of electoral politics. They all cave in to what amounts to mob rule…

And yet our government failed us AGAIN. They just showed how weak they are and how they can’t even stand up for themselves us. What about those whose been waiting for years LEGALLY to get into our country? What right does Mr. Singh have to stay in our country? Why should we care that he will be prosecuted if he goes back to India? He has criminal offenses against him. He entered Canada with a forged passport.

“This poor guy will have a hard time getting medical treatment if he returns to India. It is very expensive,” Gill said.

The group protesting against his deportation is offering to raise funds for this medical treatment in Canada. Why can’t they raise it for him to get treatment in India? If they let him stay, how many others would be allowed to? F. that.

I have a feeling I’ve written this all before. And that I have. I swear, this will be the last time I ever mention that guy here. Waste my time and my money. Who pays those people who are going to ultimately decide his fate? The citizens of a country with a weakass government.

Yes, I know I didn’t even bother to write with a tiny bit more class this time (but do I ever? Now that is the question). You know how many books and jeans I can buy with all that moolah deducted from my paychecks? YEAH.

I never thought I’d say this, but I am offically DONE with Firefox.

Or until they fix their stupid bugs.

You know the one that sometimes doesn’t let you copy (CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V). That’s an essential especially when you’re blogging. And sometimes I need to use the apostrophe but when I press the button on my keyboard, I get that annoying “quick find” bar in the bottom of the browser. The only solution is to restart Firefox. These irritating little things really lengthens my blogging time when I could be doing better things (oops, did I just say that?). This wasn’t a huge problem until I downloaded the latest FF update. :@

Anyway, I am using Safari again! My computer is a PC on the outside but a Mac on the inside so why not? Well, technically it doesn’t even come close but aesthetically it is a wannabe. I’ve always like Safari when I used it at school but I don’t know why I never used it at home. I know I didn’t delete the Firefox shortcut yet because my bookmarks are still all in there and I’m too lazy to import them right now.

SAFARI:

• fast (the difference is amazing)!
• tabbed-browsing
• folders in link bar
• sexy interface + sliding bookmarks
• makes my PC feels goooood :drunk:

FIREFOX:

• slow
• BUGS BUGS BUGS
• waste my time

And just for the record:

INTERNET EXPLORER:

• sucks
• spam house
• worst WWW epidemic ever since… animated GIFs?

I know this advertises Firefox but it’s funny and still browser-related:
