Why I Hate Sundays

Food, Friends & Family, Rants, Visual Media

• 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.

Picture Time!

Boyfriend, Friends & Family, Mochi, Visual Media

This is when you know you’ve run of out things to blog about…

Good night, Momo. ♥

Cholesterol + screaming filled night.

Trieu playing Rockband with the kids and getting his arse kicked.

Big bouncy castle fun.

Where’s Waldo?

Haha love *E’s expression!

A night I’d like to forget and never relive again.

Teenyboppers at Heart

Friends & Family, Visual Media

THE BACKSTREET BOYS CONCERT WAS SOOOOOO AWESOME!!! N and I got 7th row floor tickets (don’t remember where the other girls were sitting though) and we were gushing the whole time how close we were to the guys. I nearly teared up when they started singing I’ll Never Break Your Heart and got so excited when they started singing Larger Than Life. Talk about teenybopper moment! Once a BSB fan, always a BSB fan. GM Place was packed and the screaming was incredible; it’s amazing how they’ve been together for 15+ years (well minus Kevin) yet their fans are still so extremely loyal. I wish I got more pictures but this time I decided to enjoy it rather than spend my time snapping and recording away which I did in their 2005 concert. I got one picture though where Brian looked straight into my camera and waved (probably because my camera took so long to stabilize and the flash was right in his face) but the picture turned out all blurry!! Oh well. They’ll be back.

Girlicious opened for them which was another reason why I really wanted to go to the concert. I LOVE those girls because they’re hot and I actually enjoyed their album although the reality TV show really annoyed me (until the last couple episodes). My favorite songs of theirs are Still in Love and Already Gone. Hehehe. We went to Pop Opera right after the concert where they were partying it up in the VIP area, drinking Gray Goose and eating pizza but they swarmed by fans and cameras… it felt like a zoo; I felt bad for the but I guess they’re use to this treatment. I got separate pictures of Chrystina and Nichole smiling into my camera again because of my annoying flash (didn’t even bother trying to get a picture with them) but only the one with Nichole turned out.

I swear N and I didn’t plan our outfits! We were almost wearing the exact same thing; black shorts, suede boots and both our outfits had gold in it (belts, zippers, etc). We just didn’t know whether to dress for clubbing or for a concert. LOL.

Long Weekend in Review

Shopping, Trips & Events, Visual Media, Weekends

• Was all the planning-stress worth it? I guess so.
• Do it again next year? After 3 years of it, NO. We’re getting a travel agent next time.
• Like always, unfair share of housework.
• But hot tub and sun made up for it (although it sounds a bit ironic together).
• Beach: Saturday was hot and sunny. Sunday was a lot more windy so we chilled on the patio instead.
• Went horseback-riding along the beach. Loved it.
• Purchased and finished The Other Boleyn Girl (since I was so obsessed with the movie)! Five stars.
• Lots of eating and breaking of diets (you cannot escape the food and candy!!).
• Lots of shopping (although this wasn’t suppose to be a shopping trip). Totally successful.
• Lots and lots of gossiping.
• Hilarious car rides.
• Favorite purchase was a Marilyn Monroe wall clock.
• Found lots of nice jeans. ♥
• Got stuck in rush hour traffic to the Coast AND back home (we obviously don’t learn).
• Got home really late and still haven’t finished unpacking yet.
• Don’t have to go back to work until Friday! :cheer:

Mochi pick of the day:

Being lazy on a hot day.

Just because Monday’s Suck

Cool Finds, Design & Inspiration, Fashion, Hair & Make-Up, Shopping, Technology & Gaming, Visual Media

Bubble Calendar; who doesn’t like popping bubble wrap (or who can’t stop)? Now you can do it every day of the year!!

50 Designers’ Current Favorite Typefaces; found this on Johno’s blog (ilovetypography.com). The book is limited edition because they were printed for free so unfortunately they are out of stock. But according to James from createreject.com, if you are anywhere near London right now, there are still some copies in Koenig Books in Charing Cross Road and Artwords in Shoreditch. Proceeds of the book sales go to Unicef.

Pantone Expresso Cups; although I quit drinking coffee a year ago (it was a very long and hard withdrawal), maybe I should start again just so I can buy these Pantone cups and drink in style and pretend that I’m a better designer than I actually am. Actually, screw that I’m going to stick with my Chinese herbal teas but I’ll be drinking them out of pantone cups.

Romain Laurent; some very very cool photo manipulations by a very talented designer.

Cable Box (by Blue Lounge); if you know me and have seen my desk at work or at home, you’ll know I need one of these… BAD.

Lovemomiji.com’s Collection; for the lovers of all things CUTE, check out their collection and their shop! *ahem Richelle.

Sonya Gladiator Sandal by Dolce Vita; we all know we love gladiator sandals and can’t get enough of them! So totally sexy. Yummy.

Jean-Michel Cazabat Twister Sandals in Gold; and you thought Gladiator sandals were hot? Check out these snake themed sandals; very very sexy and Cleopatra-like. I like. I like. Now I hope someone gets them for me

Hautelook.com is having a Vix sale. Very very cute bikini’s— perfect for this perfect weather we’ve been having. Unfortunately I’ll be saying no to this until I get back to my “regular” weight. Damn office job, and gourmet cafeteria (and free gym access that I rarely take advantage of)!!

1 love
