its been a long time

Hello my one and only loyal reader! I know I’ve been neglecting my blogging duties. So much has happened in the last few months yet nothing worth mentioning about. I read today in one of those advice columns and apparently there is no polite way to tell you friends “sorry, leave the significant other at home when we hang out!”. According to proper ettiquette, I am suppose to suck it up and be gracious to the extra people. Maybe I just wont follow proper ettiquette?

On another note, what are the three qualities you look for in a signficant other? Is he suppose to always make you laugh? Is he suppose to always be brutally honest? Must have hot body? I was pondering about that on my drive to work today. Although the depth of my shallowness is no secret among my friends, I realized “hot” doesn’t make the top of my list. Loyalty and honesty are tied for first place. Although I do have some unresolved daddy issues, I am trying to make the experience into a more positive outcome. Note to self: must run away as far as possible if any man I encounter resembles my father. Maybe I should really start going to the gym for real so I can run faster.

Ponderings

The last month has passed by extremely fast. Ironically, I find myself in the same position where I was two years ago. Back into the same routine yet hungry for some change in life. Fortunately this time around, I know extra schooling is NOT the solution to my problem.

A person goes through different milestones in their life. Are all milestones suppose to feel significant? Because the last one I just passed didn’t feel much of an accomplishment. This is also the year I turned 25. According to an asshole I know, apparently I’m “reaching expiration date”. As cruel as it sounds, maybe there is some truth in it. A lot of my single gal friends are busy chasing potential husbands yet I have no desire to do so. Just because I am not actively looking, it doesn’t mean the clock stops ticking.

my beef with sex in the city

I love sex in the city and cannot wait for the next movie to come out. With that said, I now have to rant about the show. As much as we sympathize and try to relate to Carrie Bradshaw, I realize we’ve been quite foolish. Throughout so many episodes, we loath Mr Big for not picking Carrie, and then for toying with Carrie’s emotions. Then we cheer for their marriage. Aren’t we all just a little sadistic?

aren’t we all a little fucked up?

Not all women are crazy, and not all men are jerks. But honestly, I gotta admit, I am a little fucked up at times when my buttons are pushed (and not in the good way). I think on a normal day, i can be pretty damn normal. but on one of “those” days, all the demons come out. so the question is, what makes us tick? or are we just normally fucked up and the good days make us mellow?

second thoughts of the day

i’m sitting here at work, very bored. instead of yelping reviews, blogging will be my new activity. actually, i should really be working on my thesis project, but i’m not in the mood to. i’m away on aim cuz certain people (we’ll call him Mr X) feels the need to tell me things i dont care about.

Last weekend, I realized your profession defines who you are in a social setting. When you first meet a new group of people, the typical topic conversations include: what you do for a living, what you like to do in your free time, and how do you know the rest of the people in the group. I always feel awkward telling people what I do for a living. usually, i get an “oh really?” and then a loooong pause. why do these people make me feel uncomfortable?

Lastly, I’ve always been told that I am really responsible, in life, generally. i’m the type that saves for rainy days and dont engage in risky activity. now that i think about it, why the fuck not? you’re only young once, no need to be a grandma yet.

first thoughts

I’ve been a facebook addict for the longest time. But recently i realized it is such a waste of time and energy, so my friend convinced me to give it up for lent. i broke down today and signed on..i only had one more week to go. and its not like i signed on cuz i really had to see something. i was just bored at work, and now i regret it. there will always be someone who is just a sore spot in your life.

i’m turning 25 in a couple of weeks and usually around this time, i like to reflect on the past year. especially mistakes and regrets i’ve made. it finally occured to me, that i’ve been making the same mistakes since high school. people are right, i guess i am a slow learner. so now the next question is…how do i prevent myself from making the same msitakes? i know its nice to have supportive friends that will encourage and nuture me, but at the same time, i need people to just slap me and tell me to snap out of it. i’m the type that needs tough love and violence to get it through my head.
