Big Girls Don't Cry

Song currently blasting in my living room w/ me singing off-tune to the top of my lungs: "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie

I'm obsessed w/ the chorus. It almost touches an emotional chord.

I miss TITUS!!!

Just vomitted all this randomness

This blog is so random, I'm going to just separate those random "throw up" of thoughts into different colors so I do lose you, cool?

I'm currently reading Hillary Rodham Clinton's autobiography titled "Living History", and I am enjoying each page. Reading Hillary's book makes me feel like my achievements are so insignificant!! She's done so much and I was only up to her in her law school years! And what have I done? Shopped?!? Ugh! Well, just like the Justin Timberlake song "Like I love you", he says at the end "some people are destined to do what they do"… amen

This is what serious Business Analysts email each other about in the middle of the day, while I have MAJOR deadlines and tasks (read email chain below):

I hate that feeling where its like you need to brush your teeth NOW! I ate dark chocolate and its leaving a bitter taste in my mouth! Tea doesn't help b/c it just leaves a stale taste in my mouth. Gum won't work cuz it just gives me gas cuz I chew like a cow and not like a normal person. After I spit out the gum from having too much gas, then it leaves an "old gum" taste in my mouth.

This is hilarious!!!!
I'm lmao!!!

I think I've figured it out: when I am overwhelmed with stress, I end up zoning out and doing something completely not related (personal emails, playing w/ my hair, picking my cuticles, wondering if anyone would notice if I read a few pages from Hillary's book again, etc.). But in the end, I get the job done and 9 times out of 10, I'd like to think I kicked ass at it!! woohooo!

Taken from a website: "but honestly, as a Scorpio, you tend to give a passionate, obsessive, "all or nothing" effort to everything you train your mind upon" ... oh they hit this one on the spot!!

Less than 7 weeks left until Philippines... shiet! Financial Panic has begun.. However, I just went last week to the mall across our office building w/ my manager and we did not come out empty handed. shiet. "But I needed it and it was on sale!"

The Greatest City in the World

New York City is amazing. I never cease to be surprised even after 25 years of residency. At any given moments notice, it can provide your unplanned day (or week) with a little spontaneity.

This past week or week and a half has been filled with after work drinks at Disiac's, late dinners, a little dancing at Myst (too bad I had work clothes on), meeting up w/ former college roomies twice, Ulysses and the sea of Wall street suits, shots of Petron (Kay and I got named the "Petron girls"), spur of the moment weekend trip waaay downtown for Financier for outdoor coffee, sweets, & gossip (I'm officially hooked on illy so much that I am contemplating buying a coffee maker), meeting up w/ Joaquin in the city several times, driving his Caddy through the city. The cool part is that we can be sitting in the car and just decide to catch a flick. But if that doesn't work out, heading to Queens' Listo Pollo is open and here we go for another late dinner of Argentinian Grilled Steak, maduros, rice & beans.. yum! Not enough? Hitting up Dunkin Donut's Coffee Coolatta is the same as a coffee milk shake. I'm sure if my stomach lets me, I'd be heading to La Perrada de Chala for some Hawaiian hot dogs and Salchi Papas (heart attack right there once you factor in the "pink sauce"). NYC doesn't end in the city or in Queens, because if I remember correctly, the water taxi beach/bar/club? was one of Joaquin's stops to show me what Brooklyn had to offer.

And it's only Sunday (the day before labor day). I still have Jackie's Bday BBQ tonight. Who knows what will happen tonight.. wherever the night (or the city) takes us...

Tomorrow is Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Lovesounds HBO concert, and I hope I get to watch it because I love his songs, he's so talented, and very good looking (but not as handsome as my bf, especially if he is reading this... hehehe. I LOVE YOU!)
