  • Tomato Face!


    You can't exactly tell how red i was from the photo 'coz of the exposure of the light from the camera, but i was really like, head to toe red. And no, i was not drunk, i just get really red when i drink. I mean c'mon, me? Drunk? ... never... hehe. But i have seriously cut down on drinking if you want to compare to the party girl i was before. Not to mention, i don't even go crazy on drinking anymore or just simply drink all that often(though i must confess i do love my tequila and white wine), but this was my friend's birthday... so several drinks couldn't hurt right? Plus, i needed a good end to this memorable summer!

    Another thing i see from the picture that i question myself is... i don't know if rather you can rarely see your collarbones anymore mean you've gained some weight, or... can't seeing your toes when you look down means you have seriously gained some weight? ...'coz i can still see my toes, but not so much of my collarbones... therefore, i would like to think rarely seeing my collarbones would be the answer to my weight gainning problem. Cries* ...i need to stop eating! Which will be possible 'coz summer is over, and i'm going back to school! So that will mean, no more crazy food outtings every single night! Or else i'm donating those jeans and shorts............ and possibly tops and dresses. Sigh. And don't get me wrong, i don't diet like crazy, 'coz i LOVE food... it's just my clothes are starting to feel a bit hmm... tight. And yeah, that makes me sad, 'coz i do not want to donate my clothes away...

    Gosh... i sound like a emo child.

    Anyways, i think Xanga hates me, 'coz whenever i want to blog, it just lags like hell. Like seriously, is it me? Or is everyone experiencing the same thing?

    That will be all for now... smooch

  • Miss Me?

     

    with a good friend from Vancouver's sisters and i

    Incase you guys are wondering... yes, i have chopped off my long hair! And had it dyed dark blonde. And yes, i have also realized i've been gone for quite the long time. I've just been busy with work, and you know, summer plans, going to random places in Taiwan. But i'm back!! Hopefully longer this time... 'coz most of the time, i'm just too tired to blog, or plain lazy... or hmm... out and about, hehe.

    Anyways, speaking of the tiredness plus the laziness? It's kicking in. Therefore, i'm gonna go knock myself out now... or else tomorrow's going to be a very looooong day. Will try to blog very soon again!

    G'nights... and miss y'all! smooch

  • Redbull Saved Me


    Blah. It's almost 3am in the morning. And no, i didn't exactly choose to stay up this late, but 'coz i had to. Blah. I had just finished my autobiography and study plan for applying school this Sunday, so yeah. I wanted to make sure it was, VERY close-to-Perfect, under my expectation, so yeah... lots of editting there and there. Therefore, i guess in a way, i did choose to make myself stay up this late. But the point right is... I'm done! So yayyyyyyy.

    A glass of iced-cold black German beer would be good now...

    Anyways, i know Redbull isn't really good for you, and yeah, it contains a lot of sugar, i know... i know. But Redbull was the only thing that could keep me awake and concerntrated with the things i had to do for the past two week, therefore, yes, i have been depending on them for over a week, with a can or two per day. And i will try to cut down on it starting the beginning of next week, 'coz i still have to apply for school on Sunday, so i'm sure i'll be drinking in a can before i do that, to be on my very best, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

     redbull
    just thought i would show my love towards Redbull by taking a picture with it even though i'm totally make-up-less and bummed out and have PANDA eyes, that i was born with... sigh. And NO, i am not naked... i'm wearing a tube top okay! ...or am i? ...haha, jk.

    But seriously... i DO really like drinking energy drinks. Ever since the day i arrived in Taiwan, like almost two years ago, i was literally being separated from the love of my life, Red Rockstar energy drinks! It was really heartbreaking for me, you know? I know it sounds silly... but yeah, i did manage to stuff 2 cans in my luggage for emergency doses while i'm in Taiwan, haha.

    I remember how my ex-boyfriend use to get really upset over me, 'coz i would always seem to drink energy drinks during the evening, haha. And yeah, i would suffer insomnia, and complain in the morning on how i'm very tired... blah, blah, blah. But i seriously couldn't help it! I just crave for the taste of it in the evening! Anyways, i was talking to a friend earlier about my massive doses of Redbull, and i mentioned how i miss Red Rockstars, and he is going to send me some by the end of this week! So yay! I am officially the happinest girl on the planet right now.

    Okay, well... it's getting late. I should really be sleeping, 'coz tomorrow morning i have to get my pictures taken, then after that i will be hanging out with my best friend, who is leaving me next Tuesday... *cries* so yeah, i would need a lot of energy to hang out with her while i can.

    G'nights and sweet dreams to y'all!

     

  • For Jay


    This is actually another long over-due post i was going to blog about. And i MUST blog about it no matter how long it has been 'coz Jay is a very inspirational person that i look up to at work. He's been working Kanpai for 5 years! So he has really experienced a lot of things compared to the rest of us. The reason for his leave is 'coz he got his military notice, so to him, this was the perfect chance to make his decision on leaving Kanpai.

    You may be like, what? 5 years working at the same place? That's crazy! But trust me... Kanpai isn't just A restaurant, this place is filled with this... power, energy, love... etc. that brings people together, making you addicted to the place. Like a drug, you know? ...i don't know, i can't really explain the feeling... it's something you've got to experience personally to know, haha.

    To Jay: I will never forget about you Jay. You've told and taught me so many things, to make me one of those inspirational workers at work for others. But this is not good-bye, this is just the beginning! And we are definately going to the most of it in the future, sponsering each others' businesses! You may be my one of my favorite people to work with at work, but you will always be one of greatest friend until the end of time! Best wishes to you!

  • Pudding's Birthday


    Pudding is one of my good friends from work. And hmm... her birthday was actually several weeks ago, haha. But 'coz my laptop was send for fix at the time, i never really got to do this blog... so here it is!

    30201_126446627372251_100000207420114_308428_1790513_n
    and then there's this very up-close picture of me with extreme flash on my face making me look like a ghost... haha

    Honestly, i know a lot of people who will just delete pictures like this, 'coz they don't look "good" or look like themselves in them. But i really don't care. I mean, i think these photos are so REAL. It captures moments you can look back and laugh about, you know? So yeah, just thought i would share my laughs with you guys, hehe.

    P.S. i've been kind of down lately... 'coz i feel like my English has really just gone down rock bottom, you know? *cries*... this is what i get for comming back to Taiwan... BLAH. Almost two years... forgive me one day if you guys start to not understand a thing i'm saying okay? ...unlike my best friends who make fun of English all the time... blahhhhhh. "Hello, my name's Millian, and i am a fob"... fml.

    That's all!

  • Staff Meals


    Recently i've been arranged to make a lot of staff meals, which is quite fun. 'Coz i rarely get the time to cook at home anymore, 'coz of my crazy schedule, and having to cook at work, makes me happy! The only stressing thing about making staff meals is that, you are not cooking for 2-4 people (which i usually do), but for 12-16 people! At first it was hard for me to make staff meals, 'coz i have never cooked for so many people you know? And i never measure anything, i kind of just sprinkle a little of this and that, going with the flow. So cooking for that many people was quite a challeging thing for me at first. But i guess now i'm getting the idea on how to make a meal for that many people, it seriously is as fun as cooking for just a few people, hehe.

    Anyways, so the staff meal i made for the afternoon meal the other day was chicken don topped with spring onions and fried vegetables. Then for dinner i made spaghetti bolognese, side dished with lime potatoes, Greek style ;) and egg salad. Simple stuff, 'coz i didn't get a heads' up on making staff meal, 'coz the guy that was suppose make it, called in sick. And several days ago i decided i wanted to try something new for a change. Like, try making Taiwanese food or something. Which isn't hard to make, but i'm just so use to making my Italian dishes, due to my love pastas, cheese, and potatoes, haha. Funny how i was eagerly reminded to take pictures for this meal but not the other meals. Maybe 'coz i was too tired at the time or whatever. But yeah... here's some pictures of my attempt to make Taiwanese food with a bit of sense of direction from a co-worker of mine on how i was going to make each dish, haha.

    the view of all the dishes 

    Photo0517
    dish #1 fried chicken, haha... in which i burnt myself from the hot oil 

    Photo0518
    dish #2 shredded beef with spring onions, celery, and corn

    Photo0519
    dish #3 my favorite vegetable!! 

    Photo0520
    dish $4 fried lamb and vegetables with sacha sauce... lamb's the best!

    Photo0521
    dish #5 cheese flavor Korean stone pot... i didn't exactly plan on making this, it was actually mistake order that day, in which i put in more cheese and other stuff to mix with

    Photo0522
    dish #6 pork with preserved eggs and onions... i know this sounds funny, adding in preserved eggs into a frying dish... but trust me! It's soooo good! It's a dish i copied from a co-worker who made this before.

    Honestly... i don't think i'm a very good cook. But i do try my very best to cook all the stuff i've cooked up until now. I guess you could say, i'm a lazy cook. I like everything simple, not too complicated, and definately not too heavy on the taste. And don't get me wrong, when i say i don't think i'm a good cook, that doesn't mean the stuff that i cooked are bad okay, haha. I'm just saying, i'm not Iron Chef or whatever, but i make pretty decent stuff with simple ingredients, haha. 'Coz you know, "less IS more"... hehe.

    That's all for now!

  • Live For Yourself, Not For Others'


    I am a very insecured and over-protective person. I didn't use to let people know that about me, but i've learned to pick on the things i could reveal about myself. Anyways, that really isn't the point right now. The point right now is... i don't get why everybody, well, not technically everybody, but you know... a lot of people around me has been very desperate in wanting to be in a relationship. I mean, honestly... why?

    And no, i'm not being bitter. And yes, i have been single for almost two years, but trust me... i'm not being bitter over this at all. The thing is, i just don't get why people have to put themselves out there, when they should learn on being more confident about themselves and know what their worth, as to taking any chances given to them with every each person that passes by their lives. I mean, don't they don't know love at first sight doesn't exsist? And especially doesn't happen to every each person you've dated? I mean... you just can't fall "in love" with them within a day, and then what? Break a week after and complain they were the best thing that has ever happened to you? Honestly... wth? It's non-sense!

    How can people be so dumb? So dependent? Can't they just stop degrading themselves? Where are all you guys' standards AT? Seriously, people who can't be alone, will never grow up. And no, i am not looking down on those people. I just don't really fancy their beings of being a sucker for love, or let me rephrase... on what they "think" is love, when it's all lust, infatuation, and... DESPERATION.

    Back to the point where i am a very insecured and over-protective person, who hasn't been invovled in a relationshp for almost two years. You know, i don't feel embarrased at all being single for so long. And i am definately not desperate in wanting to be with someone. 'Coz i've got dreams i'm chasing for, so relationship isn't really my main concern. 'Coz what will come... will come. So i ain't worried about it. And being single? It's great, it's awesome in fact. Being carefree, and not having to babysit another person, when i already got a lot of things i need to worry about.

    These people just need to understand that... there will always be that special someone for you. So don't rush it. Just let it happen. While you set your whole mind working for your own future, as to for somebody elses'. 'Coz you'll never know what happens to you in the future. You might remain in love, or fall out of love. And when that happens... what are you going to do then? You are left with nothing but yourself. So fight for yourself, not for somebody else who was meant to passed by your life this whole entire life. 'Coz in the end, you'll still be able to survive on your own.

    P.S. can't believe i still can't upload pictures... *cries*

    That's all for now

     

  • Could Of


    I was looking through some pictures on my friends' facebook, my facebook, and on my computer and etc. and have realized so many things could of happened for me in the past, but didn't happen. But the one thing that really got to me, was the relationships i could of had. So many moments in my life in Canada, especially those "golden" years of my life, i could of grabbed onto the chances i was given but have missed the chances 'coz i got myself into the kind of scene in which i was so lost in at the moment, i didn't realize all the possible good things (i now assume but will probably never know) that could of happened for me then.

    I'm not regretting anything that has happened to me or could of happened for me. But there are just so many what ifs' trailing in my thoughts. What if i wasn't so caught up in the party life? Would i have not messed up so many times, dissapointing the ones' i love? Or got myself into so much shit and blackholes i thought i couldn't get out of? ...it really is a mytery... and is something i would never know anymore, 'coz those times have already passed. But one thing i do know now, and matters the most to me is... i've been in a very good shape for a while now, and have great friends who i adore, and that also adores me. I love you guys. Without you guys, mainly my two best friends, i wouldn't know how to continue living my life.

    But i would still like to say sorry to myself or to the good guys who i've turned down on in the past. It really wasn't you guys' fault that i've ignored you guys' or stop trying, it was me who let myself down and didn't see the good that you guys' could've gave me when i was too busy getting myself drunk or high. It was me that didn't try to give myself a chance to be with you guys when you guys clearly did, 'coz truth is, i didn't want to give up that feeling in which i thought was good, too good. So thank you guys' for the chances, and for what you guys saw in me that was still there, in which i am now.

    "What's that you like about me?"
    "Not only are you a beautiful, independent and smart girl... but you've also got potential."

    P.S. i still can't upload pictures, so looks like i might have to try tomorrow again to finish my previous blog, sorry!

    That's all

     

  • More Frozen Yogurt
