Work
Things at work have calmed down a little, but not so much where I'm bored. There's always something to do and learn, especially work to catch up on. My boss is going on vacation and I'm a little anxious b/c I don't want to make the wrong decisions or forget to do something while she's gone. But I have faith in myself (I hope), and even though things don't work out, it's called 'living and learning'.
I've also noticed there's a lot of "politics" in the Corporate World. I'm very naive to certain things and wish adults can act as adults. But I wake up and realize there's a concept of the 'Real World' out there and I'm not talking about the MTV show. Its OK, I have a mgr that I can always talk to and seek advice, and I have the ability to learn from every situation. Besides, I come home and I can vent to Jordan about it and he'll make me feel better.
Btw, today was bring your kids to work day and those 'little people' are sooo adorable. It makes me want to 'borrow' one and return them when I'm tired :-P
Life
My home development has slowed down to this crawling speed. At least I got to set up the office desk. Now I just need to hammer some nails into the wall and hang up Jordan's "Sopranos" and "John Gotti" frames, and put up the James Brown and Justin Timberlake singing/moving dolls somewhere. It'll be the "fun" room. Too bad things are moving so slow. Its ok, it'll eventually happen.
Bills suck!
Got Jordan to agree to moving into the city ONLY if its in the residential upper West Side. :-P The man hates congestion - I don't blame him. Doubt the move, but I just like knowing the fact he'll move to the city if it comes true.
Family
Everytime I see my brother's 30-minute iMovie of my parents/family, I ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL cry like a little baby. I could take it, until the end where clips of my parents and the background song start playing. Then its a waterfall of tears from there. damnit.
Ok, I'm kinda tired of typing. peace.

Saturday Morning
Despite the cloudy, dreariness of today, I got a nice surprise from Jordan. He made me his "specialty" breakfast. Then last night, he had a surprise for me, and it turned out to be Mets tickets. But we didn't go cuz of the weather. Its ok, its the thought that counts since I've been dying to go to one b/c they've been playing well. He's been full of surprises lately and I love it. Last week he blind folded me and took me somewhere -- it turned out to be the place where we hung out on our first date. It was in Malba, Whitestone (by the Whitestone bridge) where we overlooked the water then house-watched. I love house-watching there -- just driving around and envisioning what could be in those 3,4,5 million dollar homes, who is in there, what they did for a living, and seeing their 5-car garages =P One day.... Like Jordan said, we're young. But remember, money isn't happiness... but they sure are puurrrrty houses!! Enough mushy stuff. peace.

Ignorance is NOT Bliss
Today, I did some retail therapy.. YESSSS!!
Anyway, in one of the dressing rooms I overheard an employee saying something like "You know, Chinese and Filipinos.. they do feet". I'm staring at her like "is this bitch for real?". First of all, that is one of the most ignorant comments I've heard in a long time. No wonder I don't go out. =P Then I'm thinking to myself, in all the years living in NYC, not once did I come across a Filipinio "doing feet". Even if I did, that is still a stupid comment. The bitch probably just group Filipinos and Chinese together b/c "all asians are the same". No we are not all the same. That's why we don't speak the same language. Its like those ignorant ppl saying "Colombians, Mexicans, they're all the same". No Bitch. Yeah, if Filipinos are all the same as other asians, why are 95% of Filipino last names Spanish? Hmm.. could that be b/c our ancestors are Spanish decendants, and when I say "Spanish", I mean from Spain, not from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico. B/c the PROPER country of the Spanish ppl are from Spain. (And Filipinos ARE Asian -- tell me why I get another comment "oh I don't consider Filipinos asian". WTF?! Then why is the country part of Asia? Did you know India is in Asia?!? I'm not going to get into that. If I'm wrong about Filipinos being Asian, then by all means, I'm welcoming any corrections.) How would she like it if someone said "yeah, all black people are ghetto". Obviously that's not true, so don't go opening your stupid ass mouth and say some shit you obviously pulled out of your ass. Yes, I seem upset, but I'm more disgusted than anything. I don't know what's worst, hearing her say ignorant comments, or watching the asian guy she was talking to NOT correct her stupid ass. Thank God I just laughed it off while standing in line.
P.S. Got GREAT Shoes!!! =P

Quickie
**Edited**
Here's a "Quickie" (Before DSL Connection goes stupid):
- Super busy @ work. Come home late, no time to get on home PC
- Lovin' Family time
- Picked out Bridesmaid dress for Shell's wedding
- Pictures from Lily and Karen's Bday @ Strike in L.I. (Added captions 4/16)
- Missing parents
- Stop decorating the apt, but slowly started fixing the mess behind the beauty
- There's more, I'm sure, but I gotta shower.
Bye.
