The Last Laugh

Hey everyone! New Year's Eve is just a sleep away for my side of the world! Advance Happy New Year to everyone!

Last night when I was sleeping something really annoying happened. I could hear a mosquito buzzing. I tossed from side to side and I could still hear it buzz! I waved my arms in mid air while half asleep hoping to shooo it away. When I could no longer hear the buzz I fell back to sleep. Then hours later my arm felt itchy, I scratched and minutes after I could hear the buzzing mosquito yet again! So what did I do? I grabbed my ipod, turned on the music and hid under the covers and went back to sleep. What a success, I thought to myself, the mosquito would no longer be able to bug me! I woke up in sweats the following morning and my arms and legs feeling itchy all over. I hurried out of the cover and inspected myself. There it was all over my arms, and legs, a bunch of mosquito bites! Ugh!

That stupid mosquito hit the jackpot with me! I was a buffet for him the whole night. Just as I was about to make my bed, I saw the fat mosquito fly away from my covers! Aaaaagh I screamed! The maid rushed to my bedroom and I just pointed at the mosquito. She removed both her slippers and clapped the mosquito between the slippers and asked me, "is there anything else you need madame?" So now I get the last laugh! Hahahahaha! The mosquito is finally dead! Whooopeeee...

I went downstairs to join my mom for breakfast and she gave me the strangest look. She asked me what happened to my face? My face?! Oh no! I can be a bit narcisctic at times and this was not the sort of question I wanted to receive so early in the morning. I ran to my room and looked into the mirror. My mouth dropped as I realized, looks like I didn't get the last laugh after all. Not only did I get mosquito bites on my arms and legs but I also got 4 on my face! And the biggest one was right smack in the middle of my forehead! Mom teased me and said, "You are a day early in wearing polka dots, hun!" In our culture, we have to wear Polka Dots for New Year's Eve and on New Year's day, this symbolizes money and lots and lots of money. So anyway, I basically spent the whole morning putting bite ointment on my face and legs. I'm all better now. Whew....

P.S. Today is one of the best days ever. I got to hang out with my best friend Cheryl and her son Shawn (my Godson). We had ice cream and just bonded. Below is a picture of me with the two of them. Shawn looks so shy. Oh and thank goodness for bangs, I was able to hide the mosquito bite on my forehead and yes people, photoshop does wonders in removing blemishes and mosquito bites also. =)
Another thing that made my happy today:

I got this cute cute cute Hello Kitty eyeshadow and a small greetings card from Nic of PinkNic's Planet. I absolutely love it Nic! Thank you so much. Now you guys, need to go over to Nic's planet and check out her blog, just like Hello Kitty she is always positive and it really shines through in her blog. End the year with a bang by visiting her blog and start the year right by checking out her blog. Check it out.

The Grinch

Hello Friends! I missed you guys! I'm so glad to be back in the blogosphere. Thanks for sticking around. The past week without my computer has been awful. It's pretty much been a stressful work work work week. As soon as I get home from work every night, I've been itching to check out all your blogs, but since the computer was DEAD, I pretty much had to do other things to keep myself busy. I was such a grinch last week, after I burned my finger while making headbands and such. So anyhow, here's a post I wrote 5 days ago, but never got around to posting because of my computer problems.

Christmas time is a mellow time for me. It's a time to have family get togethers and enjoy the spirit of love. I remember Christmas Eve parties at my house. I can still recall the fat me always having a grand time at the dinner table and playing games with my cousins. Now, it's different, people move, people pass away, people come and go.

Laughing and singing Christmas Carols and exchanging gifts, hugs, and kisses, and family togetherness is what Christmas has always been about. It was about being in the company of mommy, daddy, and my brother. This is all but a distant memory, a memory that is sweet yet painful to recall. I wont' go into details about what happened, but my dad is pretty much no longer around. I have never learned the meaning of hate till I learned of my dad's dark secret.

I know some say time heals all wounds, but not this one. A few Christmases ago, it was just me and my mom and my brother. And now...Well, now it's just me and my mom. My brother is back in the U.S. He's been there since last year.

This Christmas mommy and I are having relatives over but a big chunk of my heart is missing and I'm sure mommy feels the same. I am still trying to find the magic of Christmas, but it's just so hard. I hope my computer gets fixed soon that way I can keep in touch with my brother, and do video calls! That would be so awesome.

So guys...well, my computer is fixed and I'm back to being my cheery self again. Yipeee! So what else has kept me busy? Well, I was looking through photo albums (which led me to feel all grinchy last week) and I made these:

Hello my loves! Yes, you, you reading this little corner of mine. I'm dropping in to let you know that I'm still alive. I've been MIA for about a week now. As much as I'd love to blog right now, I can't. My computer got a virus! Grrr. I'm super duper down. I really would love to read all your blogs and I also have a few things I wanted to share with all of you. My computer will be in the shop today and they said it might be 4 days to a week before they can get it fixed since they still have a lot of computers that they are working on. Boohooo.

So where am I blogging from right now? I'm blogging from my cousin's place. So nice of my cousin to let me borrow his laptop for a few minutes to send you all a message. I miss you guys, yes all of you and I'm looking forward to catching up on all of your blogs soon.

Kisses to you. Mwah mwah mwah. Take care.

P.S. For the love of art and my passion for making accessories, I burned my index finger with a glue gun. It is so painful and is inflamed, there's liquid inside. Boohoo...It's hard to type without using my index finger. hehehehe... Bye guys...see you in a couple of days.

Old Perv

A few days ago some guy approached me at my desk. He seemed pretty nice at first. The old man was pretty friendly. He even spoke about being active in community service. I'm all for community service so I was pretty interested in what he had to say.

Then things took a turn for the worse. Old grandpa, who happens to be a complete stranger asked if he could borrow money from me and he would drop by my office by the end of this month to pay me back? Hmmm... Ok fine, so I was stupid and actually fell for it and gave him money. Then next thing I know he started talking about sexual harassment. How some lady filed a case against him and how they went to a motel and had "WILD SEX" and that the lady really enjoyed herself.

Wow, grandpa having wild sex? My oh My....I decided this guy seemed a bit nuts and pretended to be super busy with my computer then he sits on over next to me and looks at what I'm doing on the computer. And then he has the nerve to say that we visit a porn site and watch some action! And then I noticed he would rub his arm around mine. And that really really really freaked me out. How do I call security in cases like these? The guy was right next to me, with his hands in his pockets. Who knows what kind of weapon he might have had under there. If I screamed for security he might do something. Anyhow, the old guy then starts talking about how he took some pills and his ding-a-ling is just UP! And how he could do it for hours and not feel tired at all. He also mentions how he is really really good in bed and that he is much better than guys my age.

Ewwww! Someone please help! Get me outta here was all I was thinking. Then one of my companions arrived and the old geezer kissed my cheek, said thank you for listening to him and left. I told security about what happened. The next day the guy came by my office but security stopped him from coming in. Whew...

Now is it just me or should I feel paranoid whenever I get off from work and have to walk to my car?

It Wasn't Me!

I was working earlier today. Since the company I am working for is trying to do some cost cutting, they had two people at work today. That was me and my partner. I got the first shift. And my partner was supposed to be coming in by 12:30pm. It was around 11am when I had the sudden urge to pee.... OMG! Like I really need to pee baaaadlyyyy.

I couldn't just get up and leave. The place was packed with tons of clients and I had my laptop and tons of cash. Ok, I had to distract myself and just keep myself busy. Maybe I'd forget all about this urge. It's 11:30am and I still had a long way to go. How the heck am I going to hold my pee.

So, while trying to hold my pee, I decided to come up with a list which may be useful for those of you who have ever been in this situation:

1.) Distract yourself
2.) Cross your legs and maybe shift from side to side.
3.) Stand up and cross your legs
4.) Walk it off....

Those helped me for a good 30 minutes or so. Then a favorite client of mine came into the office and said something funny. I laughed so hard I peed! Yes people, I peed! Well...ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, let's say I tinkled in my undies. Hahahahaha... Maybe next time I need to pack some diapers? lols...

Anyhow...My partner finally arrived. I ran to the bathroom only to find a very long line that seemed like eternity. I was literally hopping on one foot and then the other. Some ladies smirked at how stupid I must have looked. Then finally I was next in line. Tick tock tick tock... I wonder what's keeping the other lady so long. Then I heard plak plak plak sounds. Then a flush. She hurried out of her stall quickly. I rushed into the stall only to find yellow submarines (poop) floating in the bowl. But I really had to peeee... So I pinched my nose and peed until my bladder was finally content and happy again. I flushed the toilet but something was wrong with the flush. Oh no... Ewww... Floating submarines and pee doesn't smell too good. So I flung the door open because I seriously thought I was going to die. And to my surprise there was a long line behind my stall. The another lady with a little girl went into my stall, before I could warn them, the little girl screamed, "ewww mommy, big big poopooo!!!"

Ugh, and they probably think I did it! The ladies who were smirking were doing there make up now and I bet they probably thought I really did poop in there, by the way I was hopping on one foot and the next.

It wasn't me!
