Today is a sad sad day :(

I rear ended someone on the 237. I think it's totaled if not, close to it. My poor car. I love my little corolla.... The first car that I bought and I just paid it off too! It is a sad sad day.

The best part about a wedding is.....

the wedding cake!!!! well, at least that's the case when you're an assistant photographer. Usually, I get to eat a piece but today....they were serving the cake during bouquet and garter toss and I couldn't get to a piece of cake because I had to lug the secondary flash around. All I could do was stare at them and hope that there would be leftovers...but no such luck. :(

It looked so yummy too....I need a chocolate cake!!! I need it now!!!!

I haven't been blogging because....

I'm addicted to being an elf on Vana'diel (a massive multiple player RPG online game - in case you don't know where Vana'diel is, it's a world threatened by monsters and beast in final fantasy xi). I fight monsters and beast to save the helpless!



That's a picture of me, oh I mean of me in Vana'diel! Aren't I the cutest elf you've ever seen?

My plants are happy!

My plants are happy, I am happy! Here are some before and after shots of my garden.

Look at that, I weigh 2 lbs oh i mean 10 lbs on pluto!!



Oh, man, who broke the scale?!!! Someone must have been unhappy with what the scale told him/her.

How absurd!!!!!

This is so absurd that I need to blog this.

I was done with my list of things to get at Trader Joe's and proceeded to a check out line. There was a 10 items or less line but I decided to use the line next to it because the person currently being ringed up in that line was almost done and the only person queued up had just a handful of stuff whereas the 10 items or less line had a bunch of people. So I decided to line up in the non 10 items or less line. Then out of no where, this lady (I will refrain from saying what nationality as I believe people of all nationality can be like this) pushed her cart in front of me and then pointed to the line for 10 items or less telling me to go to that line instead. How absurd was that?!!! I must have hit my head hard yesterday because I listened to her. I either was caught off guard or was confused (for a moment I thought she worked there or something but apparently, she was a customer). It was just so bizarre. Anyways, so instead of fighting for my position in line, I just went, "oh, ok" and step aside for her. *Bonk*, I'm such a dufus. I have no idea why I am such a ...ugh!

Note to self: next time someone does this ask, "Do you work here?"

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

happy mother's day! ...i miss my mommy...one bad thing about being so far away. :( over the years (since I moved to the bay area), mother's day has been falling on the sunday of memorial weekend cuz that's when i get to see my mommy. hmmm...why do we use one day of the year to celebrate the what mothers do for 365 days (a 24/7 job)? let everyday be mother's day! ok, i wanna move back to LA now. :( hey!!!! why isn't there a wife day? i want a wife day! having a husband is like having a kid. happy wife day to me! :D

I love the smell of dirt! And, slugs love beer?!!!

Yup, dirt, you know, as in soil, the earth. The smell of dirt is amazingly refreshing and rejuvenating. I'm not kidding! Go try it. Although I should caution that fertilized soil would smell like crap, uh, I mean manure. Go for the non-fertilized ones and watch out for sow bugs (aka roly poly), they are kinda yucky. Although, technically they are not bugs cuz bugs only got 6 legs or rather 3 pairs of legs. But lots of insects are called bugs but are not really bugs. Since that's another topic, I'm not gonna get into it. I don't know about most people but I don't really like them, even if they are good for the soil. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! It can roll up into a ball and look like a piece of dirt. And um, don't try to sniff it. I was pulling out weeds at the SF Botanical Garden this morning and oh my gosh, there were a bunch of these sow bugs. They all simultaneously rolled up into little balls, which was kinda neat. Anyhow, what was I saying? Oh ya, the smell of dirt was just really nice! Seriously, I'm not joking.

Oh, I learned an interesting thing today! Did you know that slugs love beer?!!! Seriously! They love beer! So, the gardener, she told me that they put little trays with cheap beers by the seedlings so that the slugs can drink it, fall inside and die. LOL That is just hilarious. Can you imagine it? A little slug comes along, minding its own business and finds that there's beer and go, woohooo free beer! Then climbs on and drinks it. It gets drunk and falls in and dies. Well, that's kinda sad - the dying part, but at least the slug dies happily!

Introducing Suc!

Suc or Sucky is my new plant. It is a Crassula Ovata, aka Jade Plant or Friendship Tree. It is a succulent plant. What is a succulent? Is it a cactus? hahaha, just kidding, well, not really kidding, those were my questions. In case you are convinced, it is not a cactus!!! It doesn't have those pointy things that can hurt you. A succulent plant stores water in its leaves, stems, and roots just like a cactus but it's not a cactus!!! According to the person who reccommended it to me, it's very easy to take care of. They are just for people like me who is forgetful when it comes to watering. Did you know that Aloe is a Succulent? I didn't know that..but now I do! OK, back to Crassula Ovata. They are native to South Africa where it's dry and hot (but cannot stand extreme heat) and requires very little watering...very little watering!!!! They can survive with full sun or a with little bit of shade. OK, let see how this new little dude will do on my balcony!!!

Go Warriors!

Go Warriors! I love Baron Davis!

updates...

Could that be Harold & Kumar going to Vegas?


My garden looks pretty much the same. If you look closely though, you can see that the plants have grown!



Looks like William is right, it is getting pretty crowded! But that's a good thing, well, for me, that means I took good care of them!



Hmm..looks like the left side of the window box looks good.

However....on the right side, one plant died :( but that means there's more space for the other plants.

All ATMs should have a reboot button!!!

Have you ever had an atm machine freeze on you? Well, it did on me!!!! I put in my card, punch in my pin and it froze. I stood there for 5 min thinking it would unfreeze itself. Who was I kidding? It was probably running windows or something. And why is it so hard to get to the option of speaking to an operator? Actually, there isn't a "speak to a person" option and nope, 0,*, or # don't take you there. After exhausting the entire menu, I realized there wasn't an option to speak to someone. To be able to speak to a rep, you have to select an option like, check your balance or something and then when asked to input the account number, enter some junk (because if you enter your account # correctly, you don't get to speak to someone). When I was finally routed to an operator (some 15 to 20 minutes later), she said "it what?" and kept laughing. Was it funny or something? I didn't think so. Anyways, doesn't this make you wanna think twice about putting your debit card into an ATM machine now? Why don't ATMs have "ctrl", "Alt", & a "Delete" buttons or even a reboot machine?

Spring Project Part I

Welcome to my little garden. This is actually my try it again project. Earlier attempts (2005 & 2006) ended sadly. Hopefully this year, it will be different, because if I fail again I will never hear the end of ~I told you so~ from you know who....I really really want to prove him wrong.

Despite what Alan says, I remain very hopeful. They are gonna live!!!! Well, every year I am closer to being able to keep my plants alive so why can't it be this year? This time I made sure I had a proper drainage system (such as adding a layer of crushed pine cones on the bottom and made sure there are holes on the bottom for extra water to flow out), I made sure I didn't cramp them together so they have room to grow, and last but not least, I made sure that I didn't merely just place the new plants on top of the soil in the new containers but actually submerge them in the new soil. Now, as long as I remember to water them and feed them regularly, they shouldn't die on me.

Coyote Hills

Here's some pictures from today's bird watching adventure at Coyote Hills. Spring is here. The trees and the birds told me so.

I luv it when it's warm!

Oh my gosh it's beautiful outside. Yikes, I'm such a slacker..hope no one from work ever finds this blog (because I should be working right now)..hehe...or at least no one that will rat on me. So what did I do? Around 4 PM, I went to starbucks for ice tea and cookies. Then I sat outside and enjoy the sun and my little snack! What a little retreat! It's wonderful to have a park right by my work place. It was so very nice! Makes me envy those kids playing outside. .....I guess I don't have to envy, I was a kid once upon a time, so I did get my share of the sun. I guess it's kinda like timeshare or something... Oh I know! I can be an at home mom and enjoy the sun with my kid(s) in the afternoon! Ya! That's an idea! Although I don't think this idea will get approved any time soon. Anyways....this makes me wonder, so the first 18 years or so of our life, we get to enjoy the sun and be lazy in the afternoon....and is that it? Do we have to wait until we're old,gray and wise/senile before we can do that again?

I'm kicking As* in Bowling!
