I'm a bridesmaid for one of my friends that is part of the "core" but we're not very close. Anyway, the girls from the "core" got together for dinner last night, and Air told us she bought her wedding dress. And she had tried calling "everyone" to tell us the exciting news. Somehow, I don't think she called me since my cell phone never rang, and I didn't miss any of her calls at home.
I don't think I want to be her bridesmaid anymore, but it's not like I can back out. I'll be spending money on a dress I don't need. And now she wants to go to Vegas for her stagette. As fun as it would be to go to Vegas with my friends, I would rather be spending the money on other things right now. I am sure it can work out to be a fairly cheap trip, but still...I have bigger things to be saving my money for.
For Christmas, I bought Mr. Nick some Biotherm skin care products, and he really liked the AquaPower moisturizer. He wanted another one to take with him when he went swimming. Anyway, right now, the Canadian Biotherm Web site just launched their online shopping portion. With your first online order, you can get a nice free gift of samples. I thought I would take advantage of this deal and buy Mr. Nick some more AquaPower. (I also picked one of the men's free gifts since I wasn't interested in getting anything for myself.)
If you buy $55 worth of products or more, you can also get free shipping (even express post!). Two products pretty much comes to $55. Anyway, I ordered some hand cream to make the $55. I got my parcel in 3 business days.
I didn't get my hand cream though. It's not in stock. They had charged me for everything though, and I sent them an e-mail last night. I got a response back this morning, and I should expect to get money put back on my credit card. (I wonder if I would have gotten my money back if I hadn't sent an e-mail?) Anyway, the good news is that I got my free shipping, and I don't have to spend money on hand cream I don't really need! BWAHAHAA
I would definitely order stuff through their site again. Actually, I had a positive experience at their counter, too. The sales clerk made some lovely suggestions, and gave free samples!
Oh, and one last thing. I am loving Heroes. I cannot *wait* until next week's episode! I think it's beat out 24 as my favourite show!!
I'm exhausted but my discussion with Mr. Nick from the weekend is still on mind -- mostly because there was a rehash earlier tonight.
Against my better judgment, I brought it up anyway. I guess when there are things I am determined to express, I can't really wait. This conversation took place when he was tired.
I basically told him I wasn't over it even though he apologised, but I told him I wanted to be over it and that I wasn't sure what anyone could do. I told him I just hoped I would just get over it in time. We have another double date coming up this weekend. I don't want to think of it as a test, but I have a feeling that's what it's going to turn out to be.
Our phone conversation didn't end on a very good note. There was a lot of tension, and I feel bad about it. I did call him back to make an attempt to smooth things over, but I got his voice mail. I left a dumb message saying I didn't like how our conversation ended. I wasn't sure what else to say.
A common thing that seems to happen when I tell a boyfriend about something he's done that I don't like is that they end up feeling like horrible people. Is that how guys work, or is it how I talk?? I try to do the proper resolution tones..."use 'I' instead of 'you'", and I try to soften the blows. But when I tell them how they hurt me and what I didn't like, they feel like total crap.
And that's how Mr. Nick said he felt: beat up. And he was getting mad. I'm guessing he feeling mad/frustrated because he wasn't feeling like he was solving the problem and I was making him feel worse about it. Am I supposed to get across that even though he pissed me off, I don't feel differently about him??
I guess I will call him tomorrow night. He will have had a very long day and evening. I totally put up a wall tonight, and it's still not easy to stop myself from doing what comes naturally. Now I am just kicking myself!
I hadn't really paid too much attention to my project plan, but I am right on schedule. This means I feel unmotivated to chug along until tomorrow. So in the meantime, I can swing another post!

I'm going to tag Twitchy (does this count??) and anyone else who wants to do this meme :-)
I mean truly forgive...Someone can apologise to me, and I will accept their verbal apology, but sometimes I still feel miffed. And I want to move past something, but on occasion, it takes time. Sometimes, it takes a long time. I don't feel good about that.
On the weekend, I was really upset about a couple of things, related to Mr. Nick. We talked about it, and for a moment, all was good again. But the issues are still on my mind, and I don't feel like I've really let go. It's not like I want to take revenge and hurt him. I just want to feel okay.
The first thing
This weekend, we went to his parents' cabin in the mountains. He's been going there almost every weekend (without me, of course) since the ski season started. That's fine and all, but what I wasn't fine with was that he never, ever asked me once if I wanted to go. I know he figured I wasn't a downhill skier and had no interest in going. But I was still hurt he never asked me. And to top it off, everyone (okay, his friends and mine) kept asking me, "has he taken you there yet?" or they'd be surprised that he hadn't. One time, I said right in front of him, "I've never been invited," and he said, "you haven't?" and brushed it off. Finally, when I was mad enough, I asked him why he never invited me. He told me I figured I wouldn't want to go (despite I talk about the times I've ever gone to the mountains and talk about the things I have enjoyed doing there), so he never asked.
I know it's not his duty to take me, etc., etc., but it would be nice to be asked anyway. How can I not take it personally when I feel excluded? And when we got there, his friend was like, "you've never been here before?" (Is it weird that the "I love you"s came before going to the cabin?). I think it was after that comment that I realised how upset I really was. All along I just tried to brush it off and remind myself, he's going there to ski, and he'd invite me eventually. I also told myself that he's there to downhill ski, and I don't do that. However, this resort has great shopping, spas, and there are other snow sports to do there that I would totally do.
I was also a little choked that he invited another couple to go with us, considering it was our first time going there together. Nothing personal against the other couple -- they were fun -- but I don't know.
I didn't thank him for inviting me because I feel like I forced him to do it, but I did thank him for taking me.
The second thing
I was going to blog about this after we came back from California, but I didn't feel like it. Mr. Nick and I spent the day at Disneyland with my friends who are also a couple. I felt completely ignored that day by Mr. Nick because he only talked to them, or if I said something to him, he'd ignore what I said and start talking to my friends. I was getting quite angry but I never said anything because I thought I was being overly sensitive due to PMS. I had my back turned to him the whole time we were in line for one of the rides, and I don't think he even noticed.
I wasn't PMSing this weekend, and I noticed the same thing happening with this couple. Mr. Nick would only talk to them, or ignore whatever I directly said to him, and start talking to them right away (literally).
I'm not sure why he does this because I don't notice this in big groups. Was there something he was trying to prove? I don't think he even does it on purpose. (However, when I pointed out this behaviour to him, he said he noticed and tried to correct it at the time.)
The resolution
By the time we went to bed, I was barely speaking to him. I couldn't even look at him. Even though I wanted him to know how I felt, I didn't want to talk about it. I was tired. But I couldn't sleep either. I left the room a few times, and I tossed and turned. Finally, in his half-asleep state, I told him how I felt. He apologised, and I said, "okay."
I was still a little pissy the morning after, and probably a lot of yesterday. Obviously, all this stuff is still on my mind. I don't know why. I guess I will talk to him again about this, but I don't want to talk about it ever again (since I expect the second thing to never happen again). Why am I still upset? I know he is not trying to purposely hurt me, but I guess I was still hurt enough.
When we had our talk, he told me he loved me and that I meant a lot to him. But for some reason, I wasn't feeling it. (Was he saying it because he felt bad??) Sometimes I wonder if getting to the "I love you" part was the thrill of the challenge for me...like how I used to feel content if a guy I'd been chasing finally liked me and then I'd lose interest.
I think Mr. Nick is a great guy, and I'm not going to dump him or anything. I am guessing my general feeling is just the natural flow of a relationship, ebbing and flowing.
Which brings me to another possible situation I could easily get out of. I chatted with Cute Butt Boy last week. He suggested I give him a shout if I was ever in his neighbourhood, or he'd give me a call if he was ever in mine. I am not usually in his hood though *L* and the next time he's going to be in mine is when he goes to the airport for his trip to Japan. If we ever saw each other again, it would be totally innocent, but I'd still feel guilty. I know Mr. Nick wouldn't cheer me on to getting together with someone I was "buddies" with. But since I am feeling a little mad, at this point in time, I would see Cute Butt Boy.
I feel so childish. BWAHAHAHA
And I would never hide getting together with him either. If I get through another month or so of not seeing Cute Butt Boy, I can't imagine ever seeing him again. I don't miss him like I used to, thank goodness. I don't even think about him.
One of my local radio stations keeps playing Stone Sour's cover of Chris Isaac's Wicked Games. It's not bad at all, but I still prefer Chris Isaac's.
This is going to sound quite cheesy, but oh well. Shortly after high school, my best friend and I and our boyfriends went camping, and one of them brought a guitar along. They sang the song while playing the guitar, and I totally got chills. The first time he sang to me, I totally melted.
I've been working with my head down today. I've accomplished a lot, but my eyes are definitely going buggy!
I spent a great deal of time yesterday trying to figure out how to move text closer to a bullet point in HTML (by setting in the CSS, of course). If anyway can tell me how to do this, I'd be reeeeally grateful!
I'm back in the gym again, and I feel tired. *L* It's a good tired, though.
I got caught up on a lot of TV last night. 24 was a little disappointing, but it usually gets off to a slow start. Heroes was much more entertaining! There was too much singing in Scrubs for me. And Studio 60 on Sunset Strip was entertaining, too even if the name of the show is too long.
Mr. Nick gave me two snowshoeing fondue tour gift certificates for Christmas, so we went last night. It was a lot of fun :) I'm not sure I got the walking technique down, but I'd like to go again! I felt stinky afterwards -- well, not me, but all the gear. I put my new jacket to good use, too. I felt really guilty for buying it, but it was a good purchase.
Saturday night, we went to one of his friend's birthday things, and I met another one of Mr. Nick's friends. He said to me, "you seem like a nice girl." I thought he was going to to say, "but..." or tell me some embarrassing story about Mr. Nick, but he didn't say anything else. I'm really curious to what he mouthed though. I'm sure he made some comparison about me to Mr. Nick's ex. I instinctively looked away because he obviously didn't want me to hear, but I think he mouthed something that ended with "the last one." I guess I will never find out. It doesn't really matter, but I'm still curious. I hope it was something positive, anyway. When I asked Mr. Nick about it, he laughed and said it was nothing and told me that he knew his ex.
And the "l" word...It's been driving me batty because it just feels really natural to tell Mr. Nick that I love him. But I was holding back because I didn't want to be the first to say it (I can be very stubborn sometimes!). Anyway, we always have these conversations where the word "love" is used (well, him more so than me). So last night, were having some silly conversation. It all started with his penis. Sort of. BWAHAHAHA
He asked me if I'd still be with him if he couldn't get it up anymore (a horrible fear of mine, for sure!!). Instead of saying "yes," I said something that led to him saying, "you wouldn't love me anymore?" I told him I would still love him and that I love him now. And just to reiterate, I actually said, "I love you, honey." I've never been the first to say it, so it felt a little weird. Not to mention I haven't told a boyfriend I loved him in like 5 years. Meanwhile, I'm thinking...oh geez...how is he going to react? He started joking around about something else, but then he said, "I love you, too." I wasn't really sure what to say to that, so I told him that I loved it that he loved me, too. Lame. But it was all quite anti-climatic. And I am glad I told him.
I was just reading Scott Adam's blog, the guy who does the Dilbert comics. The last couple of posts were about romance, and he had asked his readers what romantic gesture they'd done in the last week. I think I read through pretty much all the hundreds of comments.
I feel like I am not showing Mr. Nick how much I appreciate him. He's such a sweet guy. But I don't know how to show him.
This morning I had a hard time finding my keys, and I almost always have them in the same place. On rare occasion, I put them down somewhere and don't pick them up again. I finally retraced my steps from when I last had my keys and found them by my phone. *eyes roll*
I learned a new acronym yesterday: MBA. My coworker said he was MBA, and I was like "you have a masters?" He replied, "Married But Available." I hope he wasn't serious!
My office is moving probably next month, but we couldn't wait and had to get a server rack and some servers. The office is TINY. Our rack is sitting in a corridor, if you can even call it that. We were going to move the rack into the bathroom, so they cut a hole in the wall to pass cables through. The hole is between the bathroom and the IT guy's desk.
Then they decided it would probably be too hot in the bathroom for the servers, so they haven't moved it. But the hole is still there. BWAHAHAA They've covered each side of the hole with a file folder.
Ugh, more snow this morning.
Oh, and there is a bigger garbage can in the bathroom now, and it even has a lid!! Now I don't have to be so self-conscious when I throw away those tampon wrappers. I usually stuff them under some paper towels. Now, if they would only tidy up their pubes...
I'm attending a web seminar one right now. I love wireless! This seminar is really dull at the moment. I hope I am not missing anything. The speaker is giving a talk about an application that I am really interested in using, but I thought I'd be able to see it in action while he talks. He has this PowerPoint presentation up but we've been on the same slide for about 15 minutes now.
I just want to see it all in ACTION!
I also got my first work voice mail this morning. I was notified via e-mail, and to listen to the voice mail, I click the link in the e-mail, and then I log in to this Web site to retrieve my message! But now I am set up to receive the voice mail in my e-mail as an MP3 file. NEAT!
So I found out about this lingerie store that I should probably stay away from. Not only does it carry pretty things, but the store also sells books and toys! They had a booth at the Taboo Naughty but Nice Sex Show on the weekend, and I saw some really cute stuff. I think they have a Web site, but I haven't been able to find it. Boooo. But I think this is another blessing in disguise.
I think about my finances a lot...more like how I could let myself accumulate unnecessary debt. So now, this is my new plan -- greatly decrease my long-term retirement savings for a year so I can pay off my line of credit. I don't really want to, but I think I should pay off this debt more quickly than I already am.
I am getting more antsy about getting a new car. I wish I could get it NOW! I don't even want to tempt myself by going for a test drive. I hope I like it. I don't know what else I'd want if the test drive sucked. Next up...Volvo S40 AWD! YEEEEAH! I wonder if I could even afford a new one -- probably not. Maybe I should start playing the lottery.
(I'm so tempted to unmute my phone so I can make a lot of noise just to annoy the other seminar attendees...Or type messages to them. I probably would if they didn't know the messages were coming from me. Sometimes I just want to make smartass remarks to the other attendees are are asking questions and making comments. Mostly I just want them to wait until the end of the presentation!!)
I'm still sick, but I've been consumed with work, too.
I'm slowly recovering (thank you, Chinese herbalist!), but now that my congestion is finally starting to go away, the dry cough is setting in! HURRAH!
Not much going on since I've been out of commission. I really want to get back to the gym, though. Mr. Nick was really sweet to come over and keep me company. Thank goodness I didn't get him sick.
We had a discussion on the weekend that I'd like to blog about but don't really feel right about, unfortunately. I think it's a fairly big issue with me and Mr. Nick, but thankfully, it's not in our faces. Hopefully, we can work through it. I think this issue can break a relationship!!
Thanks to those of you who dropped by my blog and asked how I was doing! I am still alive...even if I am a little snotty. :D
I much prefer the Chinese herbal teas since they actually help me get better faster as opposed to OTC meds from a pharmacy that only treats the symptoms. Unfortunately, I don't have the proper pots!
*L* I guess that is one thing I miss about living at home...having my mom boil me some stinky herbs!
And I slept so much yesterday that I slept really poorly last night! My body just didn't want the rest.
Fine, the cold won. But at least it hasn't hit full force yet. Maybe it's just the effects of the Neo Citran I took last night.
I"m working from home today.
And tonight I was supposed to go to the Taboo Naughty but Nice Sex Show. I might have to postpone that :( But I figured tonight would be the least busiest night!!!!!! *sigh*
I'm used to us getting about a week of snow out of the whole winter. We got more snow again this morning :-( I only hate it because our roads get so icy, and parking at Mr. Nick's is a pain. :-p Since the roads hadn't been cleared yet when I drove to the gym this morning, it was a little slippery going up this one hill.
I'm *so* glad my car made it. As much as I like 'stangs, I am not getting another one for a loooong time. If I was preggers, I wouldn't be able to drive my car. My stomach isn't even a handspan away from the steering wheel right now!! I'm seriously considering a Volvo for my next car, which means I'd really have to save up. (Me, save? Yeah, right!)
I have some spa appointments lined up, and I am looking forward to them. I hope this place is okay since it's new. I am using up some promotion certificate I bought back in November. It was like $50 for 4 separate visits, but I will be paying extra for some upgrades I requested.
Not much new going on. I finally got around to doing some cleaning last night. It felt good to sit in my clean home!
It took me a while to remember that I am PMSing (loosely speaking). I can barely keep my eyes open right now, and it's been extremely difficult getting out of bed. I am never sure if I should take it easy on my body or continue as usual with my workouts.
I had a dance class Saturday and I am still sore! I was using the wrong muscles, unfortunately. I still don't want to give up my dance classes! At least I don't have to worry about paying for them for another month.
This whole weekend was a weekend of birthday celebrations. Friday was The Godmother's, Saturday was Air's (she liked the DVDs ;-)), and Sunday (and Monday) was Mr. Nick's. Mr. Nick seemed to really like what I gave him (an electric toothbrush and some PJ bottoms). My gut hadn't let me down, but I did let people's comments doubt myself. "Why would you get him an electric toothbrush?!"
I also gave him a dance. It was really difficult trying to make it an absolute surprise. A couple of weeks ago, I had to see if my iPod would work with his system since he has no CD player hooked up, and I didn't want to use his laptop. And then when I got to his place, I had figure out where I was going to do it. I was obviously pre-occupied because he kept pointing out I wasn't looking at him when we were kissing. BWAHAHA But on the other hand, I could barely contain my excitement. I kind of wanted to get it over with. Anyway, he enjoyed the dance a lot. I didn't know he was such a fan of heels!
Last night we went out for dinner with his family. I wish I wasn't so quiet in groups bigger than like 3 people. But I find it so much more entertaining to sit back and listen to people's conversations. However, that doesn't make me look very good. I never know what to say anyway.
I had no idea Air was such a 90210 and Melrose Place fan. But GRR! I am a little ticked off.
A couple of friends and I are chipping in to get a birthday gift for Air. We were going to get something from Tiffany, but since it didn't cost as much as we thought it was going to be, we were going to add something else. Poo's out of town, so it was left to me and Curry to figure it out. I had suggested a gift certificate to the spa because Air loves that kind of stuff, but then Curry e-mails me to tell me she picked up the first seasons of those two shows on DVD. "I hope that's okay."
GRR! Curry is so afraid of confrontation. She could have told me ahead of time she was not going to do the spa thing. Instead, she had told me she would check out some of the spas in Air's neighbourhood.
GRR! But if Air really loves those shows that much, then I will stop GRRing.
We've gotten a bit of snow, and it's supposed to turn to rain later. Hurry up, rain!! As long as the roads are clear by the time I leave work today, I will be a happy camper.
So I am responsible for all the content in the UI of our product. I think this content is supposed to be produced in the next couple of days?? I need more than an app that breaks and just a site map. I have no idea what is going on. Just let me write my articles in peace *L*
It's a bunch of birthdays this weekend :) I went to a skin car clinic to pick up a gift certificate for The Godmother, and they gave me a couple of samples, too! That was nice!
I am looking forward to the weekend. Maybe I will even do some work??
And my cross-trainers weigh approximately 1.75 lbs.
The contractor has been quite stinky today. I think he's been eating some pungent or greasy food and smell is in his clothes.
Coffee shops make me stink.
I used Limewire for the first time today. I gave up on BitTorrent. I still prefer to buy CDs, though. Nobody converts their MP3s to the file names and bit rates that I prefer.
Tonight I'm going to try hooking up my iPod to Mr. Nick's sound system. I don't know how I am going to swing his birthday surprise smoothly, but tonight I will have to plan stealthily and check out the conditions.
Last night I watched The Holiday. I didn't like it. Not only because I cried through some of it, but the movie was just kind of boring. I really disliked the Cameron Diaz and Jude Law storyline. She just didn't seem believable, and I didn't notice much chemistry in the beginning of the movie. I did like Jack Black's character a lot. And Kate Winslet is too cute.
I am not a fan of romantic comedies, and I like romance movies even LESS. How could I have forgotten that?
I haven't been home in a while, and I forgot to bring a bra with me to wear after my workout at the gym.
Yesterday I wore a patterned loose fitting top, so I was sort of safe. But for today, it's a pale blue T-shirt. I'm wearing a pyjama tank top underneath, and making sure I keep my long hair in front.
I tried out the tank top and t-shirt for Mr. Nick last night. I like that he doesn't want other guys looking at my boobs.
Work's busy! I'm pooped. But more from working out this morning, and some kitchen action. Great times!
Saw a sneak preview of Notes on a Scandal last night. Thanks, Marina and Mad About Movies !! It was a creepy flick, but I liked Cate Blachett's and Judi Dench's performances.
Mr. Nick met my mom on the 1st when we went over to my mom's for dinner. It was such short notice and on a holiday that we probably should have waited. My mom was worried there wasn't going to be enough food, and then Mr. Nick took a long detour to find some flowers for my mom. I had told him to get a plant. However, the pickings were slim, so he bought a bouquet of lilies, little chrysanthemums, and gerberas.
I'm sure my mom appreciated the flowers even though she hates lilies (she hates the smell because it reminds her of funeral homes and remnants the red stuff leaves behind). White chrysanthemums also symbolise death in Chinese culture.
And Mr. Nick felt really awkward during dinner because it was so quiet. I guess I should have gotten the conversation going, but Mr. Nick knows no Cantonese, and my mom's English is horrible. I didn't really feel like playing translator all night. I will do better next time, I guess. I have no idea what his family thinks of me.
I got a new waterproof Salomon coat. I felt so guilty about buying it. I know I shouldn't have, but I will be ready for the mountains now!
Late last year, Mr. Nick also me by his ex-girlfriend's name while on the phone (with a friend). I was upset about it, and I am trying to get over it. I think I pretty much am. It didn't really mean anything, and we can't do anything about it. We went to his friends' for our New Year's celebration. It was okay. It would have been nice to be with my friends, too, but I definitely wanted to be with Mr. Nick to ring in the new year.
Even later last year, my dad called me late the night after our dinner. I hate getting phone calls after 10 pm. This time he left a detailed message to let me know he found the returned cheque for the money he gave me. I haven't bothered returning his call.
The holidays had their ups and downs, but there were more ups than downs :-) There was definitely a lot of "communicating" with Mr. Nick.
Here are the first sentences of my blog from the first day of each month in 2006.
Jan: I didn't have time to do this in the last days of 2005, so I will do it now! ("this" is the meme I did in my previous post.)
Feb: Who wraps the foil on those Hershey kisses?
Mar: What a crock! It gives you a different tarot card every time! (Which tarot card are you?)
Apr: Lately, I've been getting a lot of calls on my home phone from numbers I don't recognise or "Private caller."
May: tBlog just ate my last post!
Jun: The P Man messaged me this morning. (The P Man was an ex that wouldn't leave me alone)
Jul: Is it okay to date someone with whom you don't see a future?
Aug: I told Poola I'm going to see Phantom of the Opera tomorrow night, and when she asked me with whom, I couldn't lie, so I told her! (I went with The Eater, and I was trying to hide that I was back to online dating.)
Sept: I guess I am not the only one who's noticed my boobs' growth. (My boobs keep getting bigger.)
Oct: Yes, indeed! (Mr. Penis Photo called me a loser.)
Nov: The problem with having a job where you actually want to do work means neglecting blogging!
Dec: Tonight I'm starting off with a birthday celebration!
