More ... More... More!

Sha-mayn decided to cheat on us and finished the rest of the first season for 24. Bastard. =P

All good though.. we got my roomie addicted now. 8pm. That's where we left off tonight. According to a guy I played softball with the other night, I need to enjoy the first season because the other seasons don't even compare. He was also jealous that I was watching it for the first time and had this giddy excitment he once remembered also having.

Only 4 more hours of the first season left. So much for working on my halloween costume. (Did I mention I need it for Friday night?)

Strange & Beautiful

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realize that you love me.

Aqualung - Strange & Beautiful

Change is good.. Sometimes bad...

I'm in a period of transition in my life right now...

Personally, I'm enjoying a time when I'm appreciating a lot of alone time I missed out on before. I'm enjoying more QT spent with friends, the rekindling of old hobbies, and the discovery of new interests. I'm also entering a time in my life where I've realized that I've always compromised when I made big decisions in my life. I always took the safe middle ground on things, just because it made everyone happy. I sacrificed what made me ecstatic because I thought it was selfish. Moderation I always say. In this time of transition, however, I've decided to kick it up a notch. It's really time to focus on myself, and what's important to me. (I forever keep saying this.) I deserve to be a bit selfish.

Workwise, I've physically relocated. We're under a new group and we're in a building down the street from my old building. Everything's new and clean. I have an office that I share with another manager here and we have a window!!! I have view of grass and trees and it's somewhat distracting I'm finding out. (I sometimes catch myself just zoning out.) The bad part? I'm far away from my team, especially Kimmy. The office is somewhat big and I'm not used to it. Three of my five fish died during the move. (Actually, it was my fault for forgetting to dechlorinate the new water.) My frog's still kickin alive, however! It's only been a few days in this new space and I haven't even fully settled in. I feel like my mind's scattered everywhere, without the focus I'm used to.

I'm torn... between being content and always on my toes. Content breeds boredom, while always being on my toes brings about uncertainty and utter chaos. What to do...

Ask Kimmy...

It's funny when things happen to both Kimmy & I. Before I can even breathe or get back to my desk, she's already posted something funny about what's just happened or is about to happen.

So next time I'm lagging on updating my blog, go visit Kimmy. She'll tell you what I've been up to. =P

I'm better with pictures...

For my birthday, all I asked was for my friends to be around me and for some grub.

After a trip down to LA for work, I was a trooper and went straight to the ZTrip show.

Before the summer sunshine ended, we planned our last hoorah for Napa. We ended up at V.Sattui, Cakebread, and Peju. I can't wait to go back to Peju!

What a barrel of laughs!

24 - the new crack...

Some people get addicted to video games, some to Tivo... while some to the actual drug...

Me? I'm now addicted to 24. For so long, everyone kept talking about this show. I never had the time to sit and catch up and before I knew it, 4 seasons passed. This past weekend, though, Mykee picked up the 1st three seasons of 24. For 8 hours (in two sittings), we (Sha-mayn, Mykee, and I) were stuck in the same position stuck to this show. The cool part with having the DVD is that there aren't any commercials. The sucky part? No bathroom breaks!

So... 1/3 of the first season done. Only 88 hours to go until we're caught up. =P

My pops was right...

Growing up, Pops raised us with "his music era" in the car. It was either listening to 96.5 (KOIT aka dentist music) or the Beatles. My brother and I hated it and couldn't understand why he wouldn't just let us listen to "our music" (or "noise" to him). More recently in the last years, though, I've found myself listening to the Beatles and it's made me feel absolutely jolly, especially in the morning at work. If ever I got married, I could see myself dancing with him...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right
It’s all right
