I'm back here writing in this blog...this blog that is practically comment-free because I have a whole lotta friends and family that are either to shy or to lazy to write in it. Come on guys...comment! =) Okay, all you guys gotta do is click on the word "Comments" below and then write a...well, comment. Hehehe. Alrigght...I'll stop being my pushy self and let whatever happens happen.
Oh.....Francis just came in and gave me mail. Yippee =) Hold on a sec...wanna see what I got. Okay, bombay catalog...not bad. Invitation to a baby shower...yah, was wondering when that was gonna happen =) Ooooh...see the world is still somewhat of a happy place because I just got the baby shower invitation and an invitation to a friend's wedding...congrats to Alfred and Tammy!!! Wow, It's about frickin time!!!! j/k Hehe...wow, outside wedding in June...sounds beautiful. I haven't seen these guys in awhile, so this little surprise is very welcoming...
I went to a dinner last night for a friend who's moving to LA. Kind of sad to see friends go, but we know that this new move will provide new opportunities and experiences for him. Besides, his girl is down there so we're not feeling bad for him at all...
Gosh, don't have much to say today, but did anyone watch the Bachelorette: Where Are They Now Special? I missed it because of the get together...cuz SOMEONE left the satellite on while I was taping it. You know who you are...you person who does this quite often!!! Hey - I know, I know...that ain't proper english, well, I ain't caring...
Hmm...am I testy today? Seems like it. Must be a sign to leave now. =)

It is a strange world we live in. Just imagine what's going to happen tomorrow. I mean, we're safe and comfortable right now, but who knows what tomorrow's actions will bring. Pretty sad when I think about all the hardships people already have to endure...c'mon, it's hard enough to overcome a little tiff with a friend or loved one. Now we are on the brink of war. At least they came to a decision already instead of postponing...once again. Think about it. The poor troops have just been waiting there for months, not knowing whether or not they'll be fighting.
It's weird how there are some people who feel very strong against war, and others don't give a rat's behind about it. Is Sadam really worth all of this? Or is this just about oil? Some people think we would have never gotten so far into this if it wasn't for Bush's pride. His reputation and next election is at stake. Hmm...I don't know. I have to say that I don't really stand for war. I'm glad that a decision has been made though. It's about time...and I'm not completely against war either. I just don't know if it's a battle worth fighting right now. There are good and bad points to both sides. I do know that so many lives will be affected by this. It's scary. Who knows what will happen...

So, it's been two whole weeks since i've written in this thing. A lot has happened, but I will spare you all the details...I am beginning to realize the days are going way to fast. I could have sworn it was just January. Maybe I'm just getting older. Possibility.
Just came back from lunch with a very dear friend of mine. We had Vietnamese food. Pretty tasty considering I usually don't like it that much. My friend did not want it, but still had it anyways. Ah, the sacrifices we make for friendship. I've been thinking about that subject lately. This whole year (all 2.5 months of it) have been highly awakening in terms of friendship. You think someone is a friend, and then they change on you. Or Maybe you never really knew them at all. Maybe their "friendship" really wasn't sincere in the first place. Might it have been all an "act", a stupid attempt to disguise something else they really wanted. Who knows. Life's funny that way.
If ya all have kept up with my posts, then you should know that I had a shocking revelation just over a month ago regarding an ex-friend that had decieved me, used me, lied to me, etc. I'm over it now, but for a short while it still made me question the sincerity of the close people around me. And for awhile it was pretty sad, but then I got over it. Because there are always gonna be friends that will come in and out of your life...all the time at any given moment. It may not be a bad thing...it may just happen because of circumstance, distance, or no plain reason at all. Things just happen. Shoot, time happens and priorities shift. Admit it, we are all busy.
But then there other people who you know in your heart will be your friends (dare I say it) forever. That's right. People who you love regardless of how much time is spent with them or how often you talk. You know that you care about them and they care about you. You just know it. And most of all you know that they have your best intentions at heart...they are happy when you are happy. You don't ever have to question that.
So...I guess when I see it in that way, it's not so complicated. I'm thankful for all the close friendships that I still have out there. I've been blessed to have some really loving and geniune people in my life.
Okay, now that I'm done getting all emotional on you... i gotta get back to work. Ugh.

Wow, so a few days have passed since I last wrote in this thing. I'm not quite used to it yet. But let me tell ya what's being going on lately...
Hmm...yesterday I spent most of my time at work and then came home and tried to get some rest (still recovering from that cold). But of course I ended up on the computer and just couldn't get off of it. It's so new and nice. Who could blame me? I'm addicted. Heheh. Francis knows this to be true and he finally had enough of it. He made me watch a pay per view movie with him called...hmm...what was it called again? Darn it. Can't remember. It was about a..........oh okay, it's called "Barber Shop". Hahaha. How could I forget that? I'm such a dork. I didn't think to much of it though. It was about a guy wanting so much more out of his life only to realize that what he had wasn't bad after all...he realized that success wasn't about getting rich, but about making a difference in other people's lives. Isn't that how it always is? We want what we can't have and then when we get it, we find out it's not what we want at all? I guess the moral of that story is that we shouldn't take things for granted. Who and what we have in our life is a blessing and we should always be thankful for it. Well, I guess we all fall into this mentality once in awhile and we should always try to keep it real. As you can see, I go off on these tangents every so often. About the movie, overall it wasn't terrible, wasn't great either...3 stars.
Today was spent with my family at our quarterly "limpics" event. What's that you may wonder? Well, it's my family's version of the olympics. Get it? oLIMpics. Oh, alright, that's cheesy I know. Hehe. There was a small turn out today so they only played basketball.This is when we all get together to play basketball, football, volleyball, etc. It's mainly a guy thing. Not that us girls can't hold our own (shut up guys!). Prior to the event the guys are SO hyped up and there's so much smack talk going on, but once the big day hits they're all so nice to each other. It never fails. Why is that? Maybe because guys like to talk big with their macho attitudes. Haha. I'm just trying to male bash. Well, as for us girls, we just went to Stonestown and hung out with the little ones for awhile to kill the time. I had to go to J Crew to pick up a birthday gift and my nephew got a new pair of shoes. It was fun. It's always fun being around a lot of children. You laugh so much and are always amazed at the smallest things. They really do bring such joy to your life. I'm looking forward to the day that I have one of my very own =)
Gosh, enough of that sappy baby stuff. So we got some ice cream at Polly Ann's Ice Cream Shop in SF and it was really good. For indecisive people, you can turn a wheel that will pick the flavor for ya. You even get a chance to get one for free. I decided to stick with vanilla of course since I gag at the sight of chocolate ic. I did notice something outside the window of the store though. There were a bunch of interesting quotes and one in particular stuck to me. Here it is:
Brilliant people talk about ideas.
Average people talk about things.
Small people talk about other people.
Unknown
It's funny cause both me and my sis-in-law turned to each other and said, "I guess we're small then". Haha. But the quote does make sense though...dontcha think? I should put up a quote and poetry section on my site. I'm always so interested in both areas. Okay it's a little past 9 in the evening and I'm going to try really hard to get some sleep. Night world.
