one fine Thursday

January 15, 2010 | et cetera |

It’s been raining every single day since I got back. Not that I complain, I prefer rain over snow anytime.

So, my life is now pretty much back to normal.

Well, waking up at 3am every morning is not normal though. At least I manage to go back to sleep but this routine has to go away.

Napping in my car every lunch break is not normal either but I kinda like power nap a lot. LOL

Go away, jet lag.

Apparently, people in my office missed teasing me about DC. Scene from yesterday..

show

LOL oh I love my office~ ♥

I actually planned to sleep my weekend away.

I guess I shouldn’t do that now since I have so many things to do, including laundry (omg, it’s amazing how fast this thing can pile up!), travelogue, photoshop, etc etc

Also, Avatar on Sunday~ :)

David Cook *purrs* hi gorgeous~ his video footage is very touching and heartwarming. He simply tells the story, explaining the situation with the girls in Ethiopia and I get all emo. aww Heroes. aww NFT~ Seeing him holding hands with Mekdes reduces me into a puddle of tears.

They deserve a chance.

and to follow that with Annie Lennox? (T__T)

hmm I also like Black Eyed Peas (which is a surprise lol), Carrie Underwood, Elton John and MJB~

btw, why they don’t let David Cook sing is beyond me. FAILED, IDOL, FAILED! should have just cut the horrid top 12 perf and let him sing yo! :(

2010.01.20 – Orlando

Take that friggin’ map off David Cook’s face, pronto. Orlando, you so failed.

memorable moment = Cornelius Edwards ripped his pants (so loud!) and made his way to Hollywood! ROFL~ He’d better thank his stripper friend for that move! I cracked up when Simon said something along this line → with the sacrifice like that, you’re going to Hollywood. LOL

show

2010.01.19 – Chicago

December 18, 2009

Slightly jetlag, I went to bed around 3am, woke up at 5:30am to go to a (sorta) market at CU with my aunts.

OMG hNong+Poe milky icecream was so good!

Went to Healthland to have a Thai massage in the morning. Damn painful. It’s like the day after going to the gym for the first time kind of pain. Overall, it’s a good pain though (and no, I’m not into S&M kinda thing! LOL)

My aunt dragged me out of the house before I fell asleep standing. Fighting a jetlag wasn’t easy yo! We went to Siam Square and I somehow ended up getting a haircut. I looked very Korean-ish that I practically freaked out for a good while.

pFoo came to pick me up later in the afternoon (well, actually I walked out to meet her at Bangkok Bank since she got totally stuck in traffic). We went back to her office for a bit and left for Asanee-Wasan’s Rak Ther Sa Mer (Love You Always) Concert.

OMG FRIDAY AFTERNOON BANGKOK TRAFFIC!!! ↓

December 16-17, 2009

Travel day(s)

Free wi-fi at Sea-Tac airport was a trade off for a $3 bottle of Aquafina.

Everyone could now shop at the duty free shop. I guess the economy was that bad, they practically need all sales they could get..

OMG! LOL!! My friends and I always made fun of Seattle’s landmark, Space Needle, by calling it Space Noodle. And look what I found at the souvenir shop! ↓ XD
