The Rockies are so pretty!!

it’s not easy to stay sane on a family trip, especially a long road trip involving almost 2,000 miles of driving (not that I have to drive LOL)

half way through, be back in town on Sunday!

I have relatives in town, so I didn’t have time to do this last night… for now…

YAY!!!!

Team Underdog FTW!

Not only Kris Allen won American Idol, Shawn Johnson also won Dancing with the Stars! I’m 2-for-2 this season! xD

BTW, David Cook is LOVE! Permanent was so emotionally powerful! Had I not got into T&T before, this man would own my entire soul! Go DC!

I ♥ Cookie!

*gasps* OMG!! my first time with a non-T&T header! I feel like I’m cheating on T&T!! XDD
Well, it’s a temporary one, for only 7 days.

No, I’m not a big Idol fan. I really watched the show for the first time this year so I could understand what my coworkers were talking about each week. Office discussion is way more fun than watching the show itself LOL

And just to be clear, I love David Cook waaaaaaaaaay more than this dude. It really should have been a Cookie header (and it WILL be! xD), but last night result was soooooooooo friggin’ satisfied, I couldn’t help this! (My coworker even brought a box of donuts in to celebrate!!)

KRIS ALLEN FOR THE WIN!!

I like it when contestants play instruments on the show. And I’m a super sucker for pianists. So Kris easily won my mental support when he switched from guitar to keyboard early in the show *__* The dude is so talented!! Not to mention his songs arrangement rocks! And we’re all know that Idol judges suck. LOL

Actually, I don’t really care who wins next week. Kris or Adam. They’re both talented in their own different way.
But being me…

Go humble! Go sexy face!
Go Team Underdog!!

Had a terrible headache since yesterday, so I called in sick today. Went to see my doctor, his prescription kicked the headache away, but left me with dizziness instead. Not that I’m complaining, it’s much better than sharp pain in my head. He also ordered me a CT scan this Friday… -”-

Anyway, USPS Express guy came this morning, he said he haven’t seen me in a while. Well, I didn’t tell him that I like FedEx better than EMS. LOL I went with CD Japan this time because of their ¥500 coupon and 700 points in my account. I have no idea since when I accrued that many points with them?! xD

Oh boy, abs + biceps + low-rise pants. This doesn’t help my dizziness at all! LOL

Fangirling thoughts behind cut, proceed at your own risk.

Because Plan A never works! LOL

About a month ago, A-san asked if I wanted to go to Japan with her in July. Without really thinking, I said YES, of course! So, I went to talk to my boss if I could take a few (5-6) days off in July. His first question was WHEN in July, as we’d have 3rd quarter business plan to work on. When I told him it’s the beginning of the month, he gave me an OK.

YIPPY!

Plan A: Go to Japan with A-san in July, probably 7/1-7/12

Then, a couple weeks ago, my relatives in Thailand changed their travel plan. Supposedly, they’d come to Seattle on 4/22, and the entire family would go to Canada together for 10 days, leaving me behind, playing Home Alone, since I had 2nd quarter business plan to deal with. Yeah, it’s always like this, me missing family trip due to work.

Now, the plan got postponed for a month, they’ll end up being here on May 20th instead, and the family will leave for Canada. They wanted me to go with them, I wanted to go with them, as a result, I decided to ditch a trip to Hokkaido with A-san *headdesks* My boss was, again, okay with the change in vacation plan.

Scratch Plan A.

Plan B: Go on a family road trip to Canada, 5/23-5/31

Then, Takki just had to announce a solo tour. WT*!? ARGHHHHH!!!  What am I gonna dooooooooooo?!

Well, knowing me, I did exactly what I shouldn’t really do. Here we go, a conversation between my boss and me on late late late thursday afternoon…

me: boss, can I ask you for something?
boss: today or tomorrow?
me: *rethinking* on a second thought, maybe I’ll wait until after the business plan…
boss: what is it?
me: ….
boss: what is it?
me: *in tiny voice* you’re going to kill me for this…
boss: vacation?

(dang, am I that easy to read?!)

me: well, yeah, kinda, yeah… I’m wondering if I can take another week off in July on top of the one in May? *grabs calendar and points* It’s basically 6 weeks after the one in May *bites tongue*
boss: *silence of the lamb*
me: well, there might be a concert during that week and I wanna go~! *sounds desperate*
boss: *cracks up* you… *laughs more* those guys on your wallpaper?
me: yup, one of them ^^”
boss: go
me: I have to wait for concert schedule..
boss: go, don’t miss this. Buy your tickets and go! (I didn’t even try to explain J&A balloting process LOL)
me: *squeeeees* (silently screams ILU BOSS repeatedly!) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

My boss just laughed LOL

I swear I have the best of luck when it comes to having a super kind boss who understands my obsession! My first manager at Boeing let me take a week off to T&T concert in May 2007 too! (after I started working there for less than 6 months! XD)

So, scratch plan B too!

Plan C: A family trip in May AND a Hokkaido trip in July

Now I just pray that Tono will be kind enough to have a concert during that week, then everything will be perfect! *crosses fingers*

–

Anyway, the past two week has been quite stressful. We’re working on our quarterly business plan with a bunch of new requirements from Core Finance.

But it’s all done now! Well, until July 13th at least. XD

Plus, I’m going to get those 2 weeks of my life back with 2 weeks off on 2 vacations in less than 2 months!

YIPPY!!
