I’ve been pushing through work and juggling my social life through February. It seems I’m making new friends and reconnecting with old ones all the time. Weekends and evenings were no longer just the quiet moments but full of activities. There have also been changes at my work. We have created a new department which roped my marketing team of 2 in with 2 other departments to pursue new directions. The new Boss Man is first a friend. Much like my relationship with my boss Nhien, because we are friends first, communications are open in both directions. It makes for...

I’m pretty sure every girl wants to be serenaded. I mean, tell me you haven’t had a little dream about that whole scene of opening up the window/balcony to find your boy downstairs, singing to you with or without a guitar, with a mariachi band, or holding up his boombox. I must say that this romantic fantasy all started for me because of Freddy of My Fair Lady. He was outside her house because “there’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be”. I mean, seriously!  Would a boy REALLY think that of me Obviously, “On the street where...

Well crap. I’ve been so busy that this blog is slowly becoming all about my Meatless Tuesday. Sorry guys! Just to catch you up, last Wednesday was our 8th wedding anniversary. On our way to our tradition dinner at Benihana through the infamous SoCal rainstorm, we were rear-ended. As we crested over the 405 close to Fairview exit, we got out of the carpool lane to get to the 73. Suddenly in front of us, a black sedan was sideway on the #1 lane. Its visibly damaged trunk was partly in the carpool lane and the hood in #2 lane. ...

Dear Uncle Pete, So, you’re finally leaving us. Yes, I am hurt. And disappointed. I mean, don’t you love US? Don’t you love college ball? I mean, you’ve said it over and over and over again that here is where you want to be. What changed, Coach? Have we not loved you enough? I know that you deny any bad blood between you and Mike Garrett or your departure has anything to with the looming NCAA ruling. But I think we all understand how much suck it could be to work for an asshat and to get out before the...

Well, this post started after I watched the latest episode of “Sood Sanaeha”, the Thai soap I’m following. Long story short, she finally sees what has been in front of her this whole time, and decides to nab the Chef. The Chef walks away after her big scheme to apologize to him. I was actually cheering for the Chef. Good for you for leaving that manipulative, selfish, whiny bitch! (Well, this is not the finale. Although to me, it’s a perfect ending right there! Karma is a bitch, bitch! But this is Thailand, expect a few more episodes of the...

As previously stated, I am not a Twi-hard. I haven’t read the books, and I haven’t even watch Twilight until a few days ago on Thai cable at the urging of my sister-in-law who insisted that I knew the story before we see New Moon. Being a pop culture fiend, I did know that story. Going straight into New Moon wouldn’t be a problem. I mean, Kuri’s attempt at reading Twilight for the rest of us got me to know enough of the sap involve that I personally don’t want to get in on that crap. (Thanks again, Kuri for...
