~*A Monday rarity...

4pm. Monday afternoon. Someone just complained that she's so bored and time's passing by too slowly. Yes, on a Monday... a quiet Monday. Savouring the sound of it...quiet Monday. How often does it happen?? Good day tis been so far.

I had a lot of random subjects I thought of writing about during the weekends, sadly those thoughts didn't stay inside my big head long enough for me to remember them. Ah well...

Anyways, decided to have a christmas eve party this year. Inviting some friends over to our tiny crib for an "intimate" dinner party. Something grown up. None of those fast/junk food on the menu, only “grown up stuff”. Haha. Seriously though, roomie and I are already thinking about the menu – roasts, potatoes, smoke salmon perhaps… yumms!

Aaarrr… mental block.

~*bad day...

Tis a bad day. So far. Got a ticket for parking by the road side while getting some stuff from the convenience store on the way to work. It's a spot where everyone does that. But I got summoned. So that's at least 50bucks gone. Just like that. Damn the overzealous enforcers who preys on easy target - like parked vehicles - rather than the snatchers or other just as bad-ass criminals. Damn them.

Work is as sucky as always. Damn the server probs. And then for the past few days I've been either getting annoying prank calls or dirty texts from anonimous numbers. And the strange thing is, I have not been meeting people much for the last couple of months. My hanging outs were just with the close friends - I seriously do not remember meeting/making friends with creeps like that. Sigh. Revenge of the Exs? Damn them all.

Sigh... it's only 11:48am and with my luck, things will always get worse throughout the day. Fingers crossed. Hope I am wrong this time.

~*Happy thanks giving...so i've heard...

Another wholesome all american festivities. Not that I know much about it except that people seem to be really thankful while celebrating this holiday and they get to stuff their faces in some giant stuffed birds - turkey, they say? Nice.

I just noticed this peculiarity in my roomie. She seems to be "into" american holidays. Halloween being her favourite - getting to dress up and be something else. I do know for a fact that it is hella fun playing dress up - er... open for interpretation :p ok, seriously, lots and lots of people, including moi, enjoy halloween for the dressing up part but I can't help wondering if the physical "transformation" is but a metaphor, to fulfill a certain desire to be something or someone else? Then I further wonder, how many people out there are truly happy and satisfied being person they are or the way/situation they are in - honestly. Hmm...

This actually reminded me of this kid. Let's call him Aqua - for pretty obvious reasons - though gay he isn't. He is this lucky basta... I mean kid, with everything going for him - damn rich family, travelled the world and still travelling whenever wherever, apparently great future job - and were we envious when we first met him! Envy without malice, of course. He is always smiling and happy and we'll be thinking who wouldn't be smiley like that... that with such a perfect lil life. Then lo... a month later, bad things starts happening - ok not bad, more like unfortunate series of events - and one is worse than the other, all within a couple of months. Ah well, life. Hope you're not waiting for a point to this lil story here eh. All I said was that the halloween paragraph reminded me of this bast... of course i meant kid. And I don't think he's smiling much anymore nowadays
:D powerful thing karma is...

Won't be having "turkey" nor birds of any kind tonight. Felt like something soupy in this cloudy , rainy weather. So, will be going for some good 'ol steamboat with the roomie, who apparently just complain about having her first headache... ever. Yea. Rite.
Anyways...can't wait... I should take my friend P.I.M.P. there when he's in town again.

~*Rainy days...

Rainy days are only nice if you are all comfy in your jammies in bed or your big plush couch, with a bowl of warm soup or whatever warm food you can get, and good jazz music on - a significant other rubbing your tired feet is a plus! But since I have none of the above, except for the jazz part, thus, rainy days aren't exactly my thing... but suck it up i will. So, oh well...

Wish i could blog more... gotta run to get some Raoul ties on sale for me dad. He got a me a swatch from his last holiday... so, reciprocate time.

~*Post box news...

~*tis a mild one... minimal bitching...yawn...

So, we're all now last week's news. Literally. The experience was pretty cool, i have to say. My fave moments include, laughs with the rest of the "gang", walking around the mall sans shoes - I am not a sneakers person and i had 3 blisters after wearing them for few days, decorating the box - though i hated the tiresome work of painting my mosaic wall and planks and styros... I am also not known for my patience, so, whatever came over me that week to do all that I did, amazed myself. I also love looking up to the dome ceiling at the mall at night and see the fullmoon above. That was a pretty awesome sight. And having the whole mall to ourselves was... an experience itself.

And then there was the fact that we need only worry about the back breaking challenges and finishing up our room, the whole week... no work, no other worries... that was really nice too. Like I've said before, it was indeed a holiday for me, in a bizarre way , of course. Imagine people asking me where I've been for a week - Oh I've had my holiday living in a glass box for a week without shower, lots of running, not much sleep or food, and had a great time! Don't know about the boys' take on the whole thing though. Hans seem to have reached his limit halfway through, got me really worried, eventhough he's a competitor, didn't want him to give up just like that. The Chindian boy, all I can say is congrats dude. I think he could be the one with the most going on in his life out of the box... I didn't think he'll miss any of the whole event, post box.

As for the Sweet Momma and I, both of us still miss the worry free days - with so much shopping everyday, who wouldn't... though there were days when I was absolutely sick of going to the swedish store to get more colored pillows.

Life back at work's pretty much the same... eh correction, not the same, it's actually 10 times worse cos it's the year end, people going off for vacations, lack of staff here, and the workload's increased 3 fold. But ah well, life... cheers...
