| Coffee date |

I think I have a coffee date this coming Sunday. I just figured I'd be man-less after J for a long time. I am feeling kind of indifferent to this date. D seems like an alright guy, but I don't know him that well, yet. And I don't really feel guilty about things either. :? |

| How disappointing |

Lately, my life's been mundane, and I kinda like it!! People ask me what's new, and I say nothing :D I go to work Monday - Friday, get in a workout here and there, post some news articles at night. Weekends, I hang out with friends, and we have a grand ol' time!! But when people ask, they seem to hope for some exciting new from the life of Rosie. Oh well. But Mr. Pig, the chowchow is home. He was so excited to see me yesterday, he spat in my face! :lol: But then he lost interest in me pretty quickly. That dog needs to be trained :shock: |

One of my friends recently got back together with his ex-girlfriend. They will be living together again, after having being broken up for about 2 years. I am not sure why they broke up in the first place, but I hope things work out this time around. A couple of months ago, he told me his ex still wanted him. When I asked him if he wanted to get back together with her, he said, "well, she'd make a good mommy," not answering my question, really. He's got blinders on when it comes to his goals in life. Today he informed he bought a townhouse. "I'm surpised. I am ahead of schedule." :shock: |

Having choice is good. Making the right choice is the challenge. *sigh* I think I need to get writing in my journal to sort out some thoughts. My craziness for Wayne has subsided a little *L* Out of sight = out of mind. My dilemna is...to have other men around or not...I hate feeling dishonest. |

| Gonna buy lottery tickets |
| 03.25.04 (10:17 am) [edit] |

Since I have to buy them anyway, I might as well do it today. I feel lucky!! This morning, I found my earring backing on my bed. I thought I lost it in a parking lot yesterday :D And this morning, I got a call on my cell phone from the Television Preview people. They wanted to survey me about what I saw the other night. I politely told the woman that I was at work, and I didn't have time to talk at the moment. Then she had the nerve to persuade me to finish the conversation she started! I still asked her to call back later, though. But because she whined, I probably won't pick up the phone. Normally I don't mind talking to people collecting data. I feel for them! And last night I saw Taking Lives. It was entertaining to a point, and I jumped a few times. Anyhow I'm about to spout some spoiler-like stuff. If you don't want to know what happens in the movie, stop reading!! This your last chance!! Here I go!! The gratuitous sex scene was sooo not needed. As soon as Angelina Jolie's boobs appeared in the movie, it went downhill. The chemistry between Ethan Hawke and Angelina Jolie was so not there. Anyhow, he went to her room, and they just started going at it...no warning. I didn't really notice much sexual tension between them to begin with. So he's fully clothed, and she's wearing a robe, and they're humping. 1. Wouldn't the zipper be kind of uncomfortable for the weiner? Or was there a button fly? 2. Was he not wearing any underwear?! 3. If it was such hungry sex, the furniture should have been falling over, but no....that didn't happen. |

Or at least it feels that way. Not much new and exciting. I always feel disappointed when people ask me what's new, and I say nothing. *L* Monday night, Paula and I went to this Television Preview thing. I'm still not sure if it was a scam. Obviously it was a marketing research thing, but perhaps they used the guise of wanting the public's opinion on pilot TV shows. When we got there, I noticed everyone's tickets were pink...but ours were purple. So I turned to Paula and asked her what the date was. I got the date wrong!! We were supposed to go last night. Anyhow, they let us in anyway. And I won a door prize. We watched two pilots: a drama and a sitcom. The drama was about these two people who realised they knew each other from a past life. The sit com seemed to be filmed in the 1980s and it was about a single mom running the city. Both were awful. Last night we watched the season finale of America's Next Top Model. It's been an entertaining show. I'm not sure what I think of people using their looks to make a living. I also think of models as freaks of nature, on occasion. Models are chosen for their uniqueness...they're supposed to look different. So I guess modeling is really like a circus act? :wink: And boooo....Wayne is not around right now. We've gotten into our routines of when we talk to each other during the week. And next month is Vegas! So excited!! We got tickets for Zumanity, but I just found out today we'll be watching the show with no nudity. :x But perhaps Thunder from Down Under will make up for it. Somehow I doubt it. *L* I think it will be too tempting to get off the budgeted path. I don't like controlling myself on vacation. It's vacation, after all!! |

It mentions "An old flame might arrive soon." Old flames have been popping up since last week...Every time that astrologist mentions people from my past coming out of the woodwork, it's been true. I don't have much more to comment on it. I tend to trust this guy's weekly forecasts, and I do not think I am going for those self-fullfilling prophecies! And the resolution I made earlier...like what? A month ago...is becoming difficult to keep *L* The thought of waiting around for Wayne right now isn't all that fun. But I'm also feeling pissed off right now...I don't know if it's him or what. I dislike sitting at my computer unless there is something I need to do. Sitting around waiting for someone to chat with me is not something I particularly like, if there's not much flowing. I just feel like it's a big effort for me to have a conversation with him on the weekend, and that he is not putting in as much. I need to bite this issue in the bullet. |

I'd rather be awake after getting 5 hours of sleep rather than tired. My body is back to feeling tired frequently. I wonder if I am just crashing from all the sugar that I have consumed in the last 24 hours. I think it's quite possible. J called me up yesterday and asked me if I wanted to go to Krispy Kreme. Since I wasn't doing anything (no Wayne all day yesterday :x), I said okay. I hadn't seen him in over a month. :shock: Seeing him was somewhat uncomfortable but somewhat familiar. Anyway, time to get ready to head out for dim sum with my mom and cousin. And Wayne is online :D |

Despite complaints about winters being too cold and summers being too hot sitting in my window seat at work, there is a week or two that should be worth it. I've been looking forward to this time for almost a year!! Outside my window are these huge cherry blossom trees. When they're in full bloom, they are absolutely gorgeous! I have yet to master taking good photographs of them. I cannot translate what I see with my eyes to the camera!! But I am practising before they're fully bloomed. Right now there are just lots of red buds with a bit of pink coming out. Well, what's a Rosie entry without mention of boys. I hadn't talked to J in a couple (or a few??!) weeks, but he IMed me last night. I wasn't expecting to hear from him again. He and I didn't really develop a deep friendship, so I don't feel much attachment to him. But then I started wondering why he messaged me. I told Chris about this. He said J was still interested (or at least still interested in getting into my pants). Sometimes I wonder if talking to Chris about guys is a good thing. My good impression of them will definitely be tarnished :lol: He's trying to convince me that guys only want to get laid (consciously and subconsciously). Meanwhile I try to point how that's not possible. He makes me see all the battles I lose on this. BWAHAHAHA He's always like "trust me. I know. I'm a guy!!" BWAHAHAA He's such a character. |

Chris IMed me last night, and he was doing some work since his contract ended "in a few days." So I said, "I thought your contract was ending at the end of the month," and he said, "yeah, it is - in about two weeks." Then we got into our usual argument about definitions of a few and several, etc. To me... a couple is two (maybe three). A few is about 3. Anything more than three is several. I really don't think 15 days counts as several. Why not just say a couple of weeks? |

Maybe tonight. I've been so cranky today I could cry. I hope a workout at the gym will help, too. Once today is over, it'll be great!! :D :D :D :D |

Fantastic! Looks like now there is a Rosie also on tblog. There was a whack of comments left by this individual that didn't really say anything, but thank you for visiting. I had a most lovely weekend. Friday night, a few of us watched Long Life, Happiness and Prosperity. The girl in it was so cute. She had these huge glasses. Speaking of glasses, i can pick up my new ones any time now. Maybe I will go Thursday during lunch since Wayne is going to be out for dinner. :oops: Saturday night, a bunch of went to a club. The music was good, but it was a pricey place to go. I was thinking that might be a good place to go for Tara's stagette. I talked to her briefly on Sunday. Yesterday afternoon a few of us saw Secret Window. My body finally gave in (I only slept 4 hours that night because my body wouldn't let me sleep), and I dozed off for a bit during the movie. It was very Stephen King, that's for sure. :? And I also dozed off watching The Monster Squad last night, too. So late night was definitely an early one. Woo! I also spoke to Wayne on the phone for the first time, too :P He is so lovely. |

Even though I woke up before my alarm clock went off, I still could've gone back to sleep easily!!! What a milestone. But I will take a nap when I get home after work. Tonight I'm just going to hang out with Paula. I am worried...about getting sick of Wayne (yes, already). I know myself. Too much together time and a routine bores me. And obviously there is no challenge anymore. :) I hope I am not worrying too much and that I'm just PMSing. |

I will be a happy camper if I resist charging anything to my credit card for the next week or so. I was just looking at my cc transactions and looking ahead to see what my bank account balances will be like. For some reason, I've felt like I spent a lot of money lately even though my current bill says otherwise. (Perhaps it's just an illusion since February was short :p) It's nice seeing savings build up. At least now I know how long to expect to recover from shopping excursions abroad :D I just have one more coming up next month. Vegas, baby! Vegas! I will try hard not to go crazy. Going away again probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but hey...I need to live a little!! I'll be spending a weekend in Vegas with Paula. She's never been, and we always have a blast together. Lately my cheeks have been sore from smiling and laughing so much. Maybe I'm just building up some laugh muscles, too. BWAAHAHAHA And Wayne's booked his time off in the fall to visit! :D :D :D |

1. My clock. My body is not letting me sleep. 2. Chris Why does he have to ask about my status every time we talk?! "How's your love life?" I barely talk to the guy anymore. I need to continue to not make conversation with him! And his obsession with lesbians drives me up the wall. They're no different than anyone else. "My new best friend is a lesbian." I will never date him again, and I can't imagine being real friends. I guess I stand by cutting off exes being a good idea. :D 3. People organizing my high school reunion I can't believe they actually run an events planning company. I think it sucks that they didn't try very hard to get the word out. Having an announcement on classmates.com is not enough. I graduated with about 700 people. About 100 people are signed up there. And they're actually surprised about only 60 people have bought tickets?! I hope the evening is somewhat enjoyable. It would really suck if most of the people attending were the people planning the event and their circle of friends. And I hope the evening is somewhat worthwhile because the people that mattered to me most from high school are still pretty much in my life. |

That's all I wanted to do for my last two entries. But for some reason, I've lost the links for deleting!! I hope to be able to fix that later. Anyway, Wilf apologised to me. He thought he was being light-hearted and just joking with me. :shock: I am over it now. And last night was an early night :) But it didn't allow me sleep in ...I woke up early but refreshed. Last night I just went to Paula's to watch the worst hockey game ever (not only did we lose 9 -2, but the sportsmanship was just not there...*shakes head*). My coworker was at that game, and some people had vomited from the awfulness of it all. Eek. |

So I did a lot of resting this weekend. I'm not taking any more cold meds right now (ugh, I really do hate taking them...they make me nauseous), but I am still feeling a little tired. And I am extremely achey right now. I know it's from sitting for long periods of time at the computer this weekend. I got lots of Wayne time in :oops: Yesterday, Paula and I went to see [u]The Corporation[/u]. It's a documentary about the [negative] effects of big business having on the world, socially, economically, etc. I found this kind of stuff totally interesting. It all started when I was in university. I think that is also when I lost a bit of faith in humans. I won't go into my rant about big business, but after seeing that documentary, I feel guilt about buying anything. Back in 1997, there were student protests going on at the University of BC...It was hosting the APEC summit. Students got pepper sprayed...quite a hostile situation. But these students were standing up for their beliefs, including mine, but I didn't have the guts to go out there. Anyway, I remember talking to my parents about the issues, and they offered no support. They didn't agree with me (who cares if people don't have a choice to choose between their colas? Who cares if people work for 31 cents an hour?), and they sure were not going to support me if I got hauled off to jail for being in a protest (why would you put yourself in that situation?)! I don't know if I should feel lucky or take it for granted that I can type just about anything here with my thoughts on my country and how it's run and not be worried about being sent to jail...or persecuted. Babble can end here now. My brain is still a little fuzzy. |

| The guest |
| 03.06.04 (9:32 am) [edit] |
|
Yesterday started off like any regular Friday. I went to work. But then my dad called me. He seemed flustered, and said he meant to call my mom's cell phone. A few minutes later, he called again, and asked for my mom's cell phone number. He mumbled something about entering in the wrong number into his cell phone's phone book or soemthin. And then he asked me if I was going home for lunch. That struck me as weird because he never asks me that nor do I ever go home for lunch. EVER! Anyway, I was feeling rather ill, so I went home. I am still sick, by the way! A little later, my dad came home. When I went downstairs to say hello, this woman was with him. I'd seen this woman before in our house, but he's never introduced us. The impression I got from her the first time I saw her was meek. She seemed like a close friend. By this time, I was wondering if I should call my mom or what. I didn't want things blowing up if she came home. I mostly stayed in my room while they were home. At one point I came downstairs while my dad was talking to a real estate agent, and she was lying down on our couch. [WTF was she lying down on our couch watching TV??!] She sat straight up when she saw me. I wasn't going to mention this guest to my mom, but I really couldn't hold it in. When I saw her after she came home from dinner with my dad, I asked her if dad tried calling her this morning. She said no. So I told her what happened...about this woman coming into our house. Turns out my mom already knows a lot about this woman - her name, how her and my dad met, how she stayed over while my mom and I were in Hong Kong and Australia. My mom wanted to know details about this woman - what she looked like, what she was like, did she and I talk. I told her everything I could. |

I can always find out some information about the visitors to my personal Web page. It looks like a certain somebody, i.e., Wayne, did a Google search on another username I go by and found it. But he always knew about that Web page. But the Google search also brought up another blog of mine that was never meant to be shared with anyone. There's nothing incriminating there, but the very last entry is very silly and very embarrassing. Only people who know him would understand, too. I barely use that blog anymore. But it was a one-liner entry pining over Wayne. *L* My other LiveJournal blog also appeared in that Google search. I can only assume it was Wayne, and that curiosity would make him click the links. The LJ blog is not as personal as this one, that's for sure. And it's shared with my friends. But still... I can't wait to ask him about the whole Google thing!!! This is just one of those things that come as a surprise to me but doesn't anger me. Even the embarrassment is passing. So what if he's read that other stuff... But this blog on the other hand... |

I just got off the phone with my friend, Wilf (the engaged one who wanted to have a fling with me [which would have been this week]). I still consider him a friend. Tonight he asked me how things were with Wayne. I said things were going well, and I also mentioned that I wasn't on the market right now for new guys. When he asked, "what about Wayne?" I said, "it's because of Wayne." That's when he want all "oh gawd." And "this is so high school." And "what are you doing?" "This is WBS all over again." [wbs.net was a chat site back in the mid-late 1990s which is no longer around] I was expecting some support, and not a bunch of putdowns - especially from someone who considers me a friend. Why bother asking? And it may sound like someone who's looking out for me, but it's not. If he knew me at all, he'd know that it was different with Wayne. I mean Wilf knows how many people have come and gone with 'net friends [he's one that I met through the 'net.] and how many I've dated. Sometimes I think he likes to project me as the kind of person he'd be if he were me. Maybe he's bitter, or just wanted to feel better about himself because he's flown to numerous places to meet women from the Internet: Australia, North Carolina, Toronto, and he got burned. But WBS was never like that for me, and I'm not sure why he thinks WBS was a dating haven for me. Dating was not on my radar at the time. What I sarcastically said, "thanks for your support," he didn't even say anything. No apology nor reason for his thoughts. I know now not to talk about Wayne with him anymore. And I can't explain how relieved I am he didn't bring up me going over to his place for sex. His parents are away right now. I regularly tell him to have sex with his fiancee, but he never seems enthusiastic about that. I don't get him on this. And yesterday, my co-worker broke up with his girlfriend. This co-worker wanted to have a fling with me before he met her. The first thought that came to my mind when he told me was, "oh geez, I hope this doesn't mean he's going to bug me to sleep with him." Then I felt kind of bad about thinking it. But sure enough, tonight: "We should use the boardroom sometime." :x My decision to not sleep with taken men or have casual flings still stands. And I feel good about myself!! |

Just kidding. There's no such thing as normal, anyway!! My mom mentioned that people from my side of the family is trying to convince my cousin to wait until 2005 to get married. But his fiancee's family wants her to marry by the end of this year...before she turns 32. :roll: Why the hang up on age? My younger cousin's wife was that way, too. She wanted to marry while they were the same age because she's what...half a year older than he is??! :roll: All my life (yes, really), this is what I planned: Go through school. Establish career. Marriage around 30. Kids after. This woman I spoke to said that in order to get what you want, you have to be clear and to express it. So far I have been following that path really well. I've been feeling happy these days :) But right now, I am fighting a cold. Paula and I went to see Decoys. What a horrible movie, even though I was pretty much expecting it to be bad. However, I thought it was going to be a thriller/horror rather than some sci-fi romance!! |

And I am kind happy to say that :) No drama going on, which is good. Tonight I will probably go see Decoys. And my earlier excitement about my dad bringing home a dog was tooooo early. He doesn't want to bring the chowchow home until he takes time off so the dog's not all alone adjusting to our house. *teehee* I suggested he still bring the dog around, so he can get familiar with the house :D :D Last night was a late night - 2 am. At least I've gone through the 7:30 threshold. But I really should be in bed by 1 if I want to get up at a decent hour before work!! |

Last year, I figured if I was patient, this year would be a good one...I had things to look forward to every few months: trips and a new home! So it's been almost a year since I put the deposit down on my place. Maybe it will be ready in another 3 months? My dad ran into the agent who sold me the place, and that was the latest news. In 5 months, I could be quite busy with helping Tara and her wedding stuff. At least that's what I imagine. Relatives will be visiting, too. And maybe in 7 months Wayne will visit. In Wayne's mind, there is no maybe. The thought of him visiting makes me really excited. But it's still 7 months time; lots could happen in the meantime. Like our friend, Bill said, "that's plenty of time to get to know each other." So true. At least Wayne and I are on the same wavelength about our opinions on the situation. My personal issues is whether to hold out for him or not. But then again, I know what I want. I'll just stop now because I feel like being cryptic. |

Last night I chit chatted with Tom for maybe 5 minutes?! My Internet connection went down, and this time it had nothing to do with me!! I guess he hadn't been online since December, but he's finally got all his computer equipment set up (that he had shipped from the US to Hong Kong). I was glad to see him online. I think I've known him for as long as I've been wired. He knows me well!! Anyway, he Eva apparently noticed some chemistry between me and their friend Stephan at their wedding :oops: I didn't, but I did think he was a nice guy!! And there is a hole in my shirt. Why do I still wear it?? |
