  • Being Sick Sucks


    I don't know if it's the fact that i've been sick or what not. But my mood has been quite down lately. Anything i eat, doesn't seem to fit my appetite, nor do i want to have a second taste of it. Anything i wear, doesn't seem to give me the kind of comfort i want to feel in them. Sleeping early, doesn't seem to solve the tiredness that i feel every morning. The usual make-up i apply every morning, seem to loses some kind of finishing touches in them. I just don't know what's missing.

    Maybe 'coz i can't wait till next Sunday, where i will finally be having some serious alone time. The kind where it's not involving work, classes, and teaching. It feels way too long since i have had one of those. Having brunch, reading, and going to the bookstore, and hanging out with my sister. Considering my everyday life has been all about the working, going to class, and teaching... so next Sunday is definately something to look forward to.

    Oh, and today i had Starbucks again. Venti with an extra shot. Last week i had 9 cups, due to the exhaustion after Halloween. Since i was in charge of it for work, and stayed up till 2am decorating our restaurant... having our A/C to so "luckily" been broken down during that week also. So it was quite the weekend. Anyways, i should cut down on the coffee. Too much caffine, really isn't good for the health. And take more day-offs. 'Coz i have come to a realization that... i might very much need it afterall.

    Well, as a workalcoholic, here i go again, off to my work, for a meeting due to an upcomming yearly event. Even though i was sent home earlier today due to my "walking like a dead zombie" scene. What can i say? I can be a bit too devoted when it comes to work.

    Muah

  • Hat


    As usual... i woke up pondering about what i should wear today... and realized... hey, i haven't worn a hat in a while, so today, i still wore my usual blacks, put in the extension, and hop on a hat. And after i was set, i checked myself in the mirror. And damn, i almost forgot how much i missed my long hair... but that's what extensions are for right? Haha. Then right when i arrived at work, my co-workers said i looked good with a hat... but i don't know... i was never a hat person... don't exactly know why though. But yeah, here's a picture, before i leave to teach my student.

    IMG_0531
    my face is a bit pale... i just powdered up

    Well, i'm gonna get going, and if you guys are lucky, i might come back tonight blogging about some other random stuff... that is if i finish catching up on Gossip Girl episodes, haha

  • Awfully Busy


    Sometimes i think to myself, what the hell am i doing to myself. Having to work so much, do so much, to exhaust my body completely and totally through. But after i've seen some results from it, i am more than convinced of myself that everything i am doing is worth it. I mean, let's see, my schedule is working from 10-3/4pm from Mondays' to Fridays', and work from 10am-11/12am on Saturdays' and Sundays'. As for Japanese classes, it's from 7-9pm on Mondays', Wednesdays', and Fridays'. And for Thuesdays' and Thursdays'? I sort of get a little time off for myself if anything comes up, which is usually dinner outtings with some of my friends from work. Or i'll either go in for the English class on Tuesday to chit chat, and work all day during my Thursdays'. But things are going to get a little busier now, since i'll be teaching my mom's friend's daughter English (since she really likes me, and has begged my mom to wish that i will start teaching, and letting her be my first student), which i'm thinking of making it every Thursday or Friday, i have yet decided when i want to teach her... so now i am sitting here complaining, and disturbed on how to schedule everything in.

    I think i am crazy. Oh, these crazy hours. What can i say? I just can't help but make myself super busy, 'coz i like being motivated and not wasting time. In result of wanting to be a SOMEBODY in the future, as to a SOMEONE. I want to be the new generation of women. And i will be. And that's not being cocky, it's confidence, and confidence? Is sexy. Haha, as i would always say. I mean, i know i'm only 20, and planning my life like someone who is way older than that, but that's only 'coz i just know what i want in life... and it's not someone who is going to sit at home nursing her children and waiting for the man to come home with the love and bread.

    In this new generation, i'm not saying guys are not dependentable anymore. But it's better safe than sorry? I just want to be able to be looked as someone, who can take very well care of themselves, without the need of a man to do so for me. And look at the girls around this world we live in. There are a lot of pretty women out there. How would i know my man won't leave me and divorce me for another pretty chick out there and just disown me with our children? And i'm not being negative. It's the truth. And it's always better to think ahead about these possibly happenings, before it can possibly get to you, don't you think?

    So yes, i, will continuing living my life... and be strong about it.

    On the other hand, i'm quite excited about next week. Tuesday evening, i might be having dinner with Jack and his friends, but that has yet confirmed. And i'll also be having another dinner with some friends from work on Thursday. As for Sunday, which i plan to have a day off, i will be having some alone time on my own by having brunch at a bistro i have yet had the time to go to called the "The Diner." Then afterwards, i might meet up my god-sister to acompany her with some make-up shopping, with some good advice giving, and drop by the bookstore to pick up some new reads'. And yes, i will remember to take pictures to share my great times.

    This will be all for now

  • I Think A Little Too Much


    I miss being in love. Even though i've only been in love once. And that's already surprising enough, considering it's so hard for me to completely fall for someone. I wish i was still in love... having to be loved, the world seems like it'll never end for you. On this particular day, again i think to myself about my life. I miss my grandparents... i wish they were still around. I wanted to do so much for them, take them places, treat them with the goods in life. I miss my best friends... i just want to share my life with them everyday, with them by my side.

    The life i live now, is all about myself. I sure have many dinners with my co-workers and the never ending outtings. I adore them all. They are one of main reasons, i don't feel totally alone sometimes in Taiwan. But it has made me realized, i am really putting way too much pressure on myself. I refuse to meet more people, 'coz it's unecessary for me to know them, 'coz they won't make a difference to my life, as to add on the drama into my life. I don't like drama. All i want is to chase my dream... have many me times by having countless brunches, going to bookstore, buying delicious desserts (yes, them cupcakes that i die for).

    My everyday life is based on work, classes, teaching, and me times. I do feel alone when i get the extra time not doing all of the things i've listed. I thought keeping myself busy, could help me somehow forget what i really selfishly want. I know i always tell people to do things that makes them happy, and just do it. But really, i'm a hypocrite. I mean, i am happy. There are many ways to be happy. As for being a hypocrite may be a harsh way to look at it... 'coz we can't exactly have and want all the things that makes us happy. I know that. Just as much as i know, some of these things i feel happy about, are the things that can shatter my goal and dream, and make me a failure in life.

    All this might come out a little bit too random, but that's 'coz i'm just a person that thinks way too much... So tell me, why does life got to be so hard sometimes?

     

  • Gaosiung Trip


    So yay! Finally i forced myself to fight the tiredness to update this blog and finally post it. Even though this happened about 3 weeks ago, haha. Anyways, so 3 weeks ago, i went to Gaosiung to visit a friend who also came back to Taiwan, and is going to reside. But he will be going to the military service for a year on Thursday, so i probably won't get to take as many getaway visits to Gaosiung to hang out with him and his girlfriend, who is Cantonese, and came back with my friend to learn Mandarin, cute ain't it? But she'll be going back to Canada when my friend goes in for the military service, and will be back again early next year. Which really sucks. I'll miss her! Anyways, enjoy the pictures!

    It was a great trip. And was a lot of fun hanging out with them. Charlie was always there for me like a brother, taking me to grocery shopping when i was living on my own, and acompanied me to many meals, when i had no one to eat with. As for the adoring girlfriend of his, has always been a quiet one, but she can be chatty once the topic is about Hello Kitty, haha. Aw... i'll miss her, i hope to see her sooner than February. And my non-blood-related brother, haha.

    Hehe... i'm proud of myself to finally update this post. Well, this will be all for now. And i will try to update as often as i can

  • I'm Alone But Not Really Alone


    Maybe i am having one of those days. But i just feel so alone. I miss being adored. Not that i'm not being adored, 'coz i have some really awesome best friends who support me, and is always there for me, and a mother, that grants everything i need, and loves me. But when it comes to love, the relationship type of love, i am just purely alone. I avoid anything that involves feeling and leads me to fall for someone... 'coz i know it will ruin and shatter my dream and goal. But maybe, i might be wrong to avoid it. 'Coz i might just need someone there to support me in a relationship to chase my dream. Hmmm... i don't know. I don't think i can do it.

    It really is one of those days.

    However, i do really like this guy, who is far from where i am at. I only wish he could be closer. But life isn't perfect, and won't fit its' pieces together all for you. But that doesn't matter, 'coz i know even with such a distance, he'll still be supportive. So i thank you, you know who you are.

    Well, time for bed. Time for another lonely night. And another morning waking up to work. Keeping my life in track and motivated. I just got to keep telling myself, "i can do this." I can't be beat down by a little emotional unsatisfication in life, and just let it drift me off. I have to stay strong, and remember what i'm doing all this for, and what it's worth. So wish me luck guys!

    G'nights

  • It's Been Over A Month...


    ...since i'm updated. I'm actually still around, in case you guys are wondering. It's just i really do work a little too much, considering yesterday we all calculated how many hours all the staffs has worked, and my hours came up to about 193 hours, not including the day's hours. So yeah, it's about 200 hours. I'm a little crazy eh? Anyways, i miss blogging. I think it's kind of one of the things i like to do that makes me remember how to speak (in this case, type) proper English, with my horrible grammer, other than reading, which also, i do a little bit less now with my crazy hours of work, and Japanese classes.

    Hmmm... so what's new? A lot of things are new, but i have forgotten all of them. I tried to update my blog quite a few times to try and remember myself what has been happening in my life, but when i do actually login during these times... i feel terribly tired and lazy. However, i do have this post that's been on hold, which i will get it posted soon, once i've upload all the pictures (so pray for my unlaziness). Anyways, it's getting late, and i have work in the morning, so i better get to bed. Just wanted to do a quick post, to tell you guys i missed you guys!

    G'nights

  • Camwhoring


    So as you guys all know... i have a sleeping disorder. Where i just can't seem to sleep early... when i most need that extra time of rest, considering how much i work and need the energy for it, and to absorb the things i'm learning in Japanese (not that i ain't learning, but you know). So yeah, like any other day... i was rolling around my bed from 12am till around 2:30am in the morning, trying to sleep... fixing up any relaxing music to help me do so, to finally be asleep. But this time, i so happened to wake up around 7am in the morning... not being able to go back to sleep ('coz usually, i just have a terrible time trying to wake up). So i roll around on my bed for half an hour, got ready for work, even though it was hours away, but what could i do right? I couldn't sleep. So... i decided to cam whore since i was really bored, and really haven't taken any pictures of myself recently. And yes, you guys are so damn lucky, you guys get to see the cam whoring pictures, haha.

    IMG_0403
    it started without flash... and with my glasses on and hair tied up

    IMG_0416
    then the glasses came off... hair tie went off

    IMG_0417
    ...and flash went on, haha
    i look sort of angry here

    IMG_0418
    haha, trying to be cute

    IMG_0419
    ...hehe
    i so did not know my bra was showing...

    IMG_0412
    then the flash went off again
    head turning picture

    Haha, anyways, as you can see... i'm not a really good camwhoring queen, as i try to take pictures from different angles and such. But blah, i was bored... so yeah. Anyways, today i bought a set of new sleepwear, hehe. And yes, it's pink! With strawberries all over it. See-through, which i never thought of buying or trying, since i still like the cottons ones' better, but these are really comfortable! I definately am not dissapointed that i got them... 'coz i really do like them, hehe.

    IMG_0424
    hehe, aren't they cute!

    IMG_0426
    the side view with me having them on

    IMG_0428
    ...hehe, totally see-through! With cute strawberries all over!

    Now, now... who wants to join me in bed tonight?  ...just kidding. I am not trying to tease, just want to share how cute my new sleepwear is!

    P.S. i will reply you guys' comments soon. I'm just lazy... hehe.

  • Dan Dan's Birthday


    So on Sunday it was one of my co-worker's birthday, which was hosted at Q Motel, in their VIP room. The room was amazing. Got our own outdoor pool, big ass living room with karaoke, sound system, big hot tub, big shower room, washroom, and a big king sized bed... etc. It was quite fun. Even though i was quite tired from working on a 10am-11/12pm schedule for two days in a roll, having to catch this party. But it was worth it. Since it feels like a while since everyone at my work has gathered together to have so fun. So yeah, it was nice!

    1780166222
    the view from the end of the room... with the king sized bed connecting to the huge living room. Even though it's quite hard to see it on this picture, but it WAS big.

    1780166238
    the living room area... which doesn't look so big, with so many people surrounding around the table, haha.

    1780166231
    birthday cheers to the birthday boy! And yes, he is the one dressed it the leproad printed coat... that's looking like a pimp, haha!

    1780166240
    then things were taken down to the pool after couple drinks, even though most of us girls didn't have change of clothes, we still hopped in with our co-worker's jerseys, haha.

    1780166214
    then after pool time, it was hot tubbing time!
    and yes, if you can spot me... i am the one who is red as hell, haha. 

    1780166211
    then after all the "water" session, we changed out of the wet clothes, and sat down to continue drinking 

    1780166212
    then getting a bit buzzed, karaoke session was started!
    ...hehe, which i loveeeeeee!

    1780166249
    then yay! Game time! Where i pour about 3 cans of beer on my friend there, hahahahaha. It was fun.

    9017_1100677566648_1517956706_30237905_2558403_n
    and somehow, i was drunk after i requested massages... and puked for several hours, and became in this condition... "passed out".
    and really trust me when i said i haven't drank in a while. And haven't gotten this drunk in a while. It was all for fun, so i guess i loosen up and got my drank on, haha. And plus, the exhaustion that kicked in from working, so i was bit poor on handling my alcohol. But hey, i DID drink a lot, hahaha

    1780166264
    now let's skip the drunken scene, and look at some normal pictures that A-Bu and i camwhored before we started drinking, haha.

    1780166267
    love this chick :) and hmm... my arm looks huge here... haha.

    1780166272
    and that's it

  • Happy Birthday Mommy!


    Honestly, i really wasn't going to blog today, 'coz it was quite the long day. But i really got nothing better to do, and can't sleep at this time, so i thought i'll get it over and done with, since i'll be working this weekend, so it'll be pointless to blog about my mom's birthday after the weekend, haha. So yes, i pulled myself together to show you guys the so-called "great" dinner i made for my mom... right. More like a total fail, 'coz i was rushing the procedures 'coz i was afraid i would be late for my Japanese class.

    So hmmm... i didn't turn out making breakfast for my mom, 'coz she woke up REALLY early today for some odd reason. And i planned to wake up at 8am to make it. But she woke up around 7am-ish in the morning. I don't exactly no why. She usually doesn't wake up that early. Oh well. So yeah, breakfast was a no-do, since she ate before i have woken up. So i basically cleaned the whole house for the entire morning until she went to the gym with her friends...and blah, blah, blah. Anyways, that's not important, so i'll cut it short and show you the failure dishes i made, haha. Okay, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, since my mom really liked it. And we had a good time. But i don't know... i really think i could've done better. Sigh... blame it on the rush of time! And on how things didn't go the way it was supposed to be planned! AH! Why did she have to wake up so early... sigh. I hate it when things don't go the way i planned it.

    IMG_0404
    Garlic Mushroom Alfredo with Chicken
    nothing much to say about this dish. It was good. But hmmm... it could've been better.

    IMG_0405
    German Potato Salad
    which is the first time of me making it... and uh, i don't know... i just think this dish was a total fail for me... SIGH. But my mom thought it was really good. BUT I DON'T KNOW. Something was wrong with it and i just wasn't satisfied with it! Ahhh... i don't even wanna go there. All i can say is, i should never try test running dishes on a special day. Even if the person really likes it or not... 'coz... truth is, either way, it will only result in dissapointment for the person that decided to make it  'coz it wasn't made up the expectation you've set it on... sigh.

    Well... that's basically it. I'm going to try to sleep. It has a been a long day. And i'm exhausted. Even though i'll probably roll around on my bed for like an hour or so. But it's better than doing nothing... as to tiring myself more,  i suppose.

    P.S. i will try to reply you guys' comments soon. I'm just lazy and tired. Hahaha.

    G'nights

About Me

  • If you can catch up with some poor grammer, or you just simply want to stalk my life... i'm all about that :) ...i'm a lonely independent chick that is stuck in Taiwan, for the love of my life, which is my mother. Other than her, there's nothing else i like about Taiwan... well, other than my work and co-workers, they are very adoring, i love them.
