LMFAO!!!!!!
so today is lil Aizen Satria's 1st Birthday!
the birthday party yesterday was a blast! the cake cutting part was a tough task. all the kids came in and started blowing whistles and horns and poor lil Aizen got so annoyed i guess, that he started crying and whining. heh. poor kid. he was alright after that though. finally i've become familiar to him and i can carry him and play with him all i want without him trying to wriggle out of my arms...as long as he doesnt see his mommy. haha.
apparently my sandwich was a success. a big hit with the guys. haha. Elvin kept on complimenting that it was really good. i told him to shut up. haha. gosh. he is a true gemini. flirtatious. i dunno why i get so nervous around him. i guess it's cos he is HOT. i hate to admit this, but it's true. i can't help it. his tattoos just draw me to him. hahahaha.
when i heard that he was bringing a girl along, i almost died. then he came, and i pretended not to see him. my goodness, the awkwardness. we were wearing the same colours. i managed to ignore him for quite a long time till finally i sat near the door and Nizam's cousin, Aam, saw me. he called me and i knew it's cos Elvin wanted to say hi. so, i turned, and true enough he was smiling from ear to ear and waving...so i gave a little wave and smile, and turned back.
what is wrong with me???
i was quite cool throughout the night. i spent most of the time with Lenny and Aizen in the house. only went out for smokes and drinks. finally when i was taking a drink, Nizam decided to tell me that the guys (Elvin and his friend - yes, he brought a guy!) really enjoyed the sandwiches i made. Elvin complimented too, but it was more like he was teasing me though. hmph.
stop flirting with me!!
Nizam is joining my company, i guess he told them. so, while me and Nizam were talking, Elvin kept sticking his face in and talking to me. so rude! i ignored him of course. haha. he just wanted to ask me if there was a spot for him to work there too. i just said no. haha. i think he was abit hurt. even after i said no, he still kept on asking. he kept asking why i didn't wane help him. haha. i just told him there's no more vacancies. it's true though. Nizam got the one and only vaccant spot.
Elvin kept on teasing me about that sandwiches. i just kept telling him to shut up. even at the very last minute as he was leaving, he managed to squeze in a tease. pffft.
why??
anyhoos, i was the official cameraperson yesterday. i will put up the pics once i get them from Lenny. i love my picture with Aizen.
oh, joke of the day (for yesterday that is)... Nizam's mother was smoking with me and suddenly asked me..."you didn't bring your kid along?" i just smiled and told her i'm not even married yet. what made it funnier was the fact that his mom kept staring at my boobs throughout the whole conversation. hahahahaha!!
if i got that much attention from his mom, i wonder how much attention it was drawing from Elvin. hahaha!!
it's good to have such a flirty guy for a friend. enjoyed very much yesterday. i should organise an outing. i'm thinking movie, karaoke and beach. i have to think of an outing whereby the kids can come along too. karaoke and beach is fine. movie, not so. i just really wane watch this movie though!
it's a mandarin movie - Poker King. i want to watch it!!!!!
anyhoos, i'm actually at work now and i have to stop now.
may be meeting up with nur and her guy. as much as i do not really like him, i know that i won't be too mean to him later. i just gotta learn to like him i guess. *sigh*
alritey denz.
till the next post!
lovelove. :)

So I sleptover at my besties place last nite. I'm just lazing around in bed now waiting for her hubby to get outta d shower. Following her to Giant Hypermart to get some stuff for her sons birthday party tomorrow.
He turns ONE!!
Time sure has pass. I haven't been spending much time with them this year but now... We see each other almost every weekend! I love it! Looks like things really do happen for a reason.
Although it didn't work out between her hubby's friend and I (Elvin), it sure brought the two of us, my bestie and I, closer. I got a whole load of new guys in my life too!
UH-mazing!!
I even got a guy for each star sign that matches with mine! I got a Sagitarius, a Gemini and a Leo! All I need now is to find an Aquarius and I'm good! Haha.
I have decided though that these guys will just be new friends and nothing more. I'll leave finding the guy to marry to my parents. Heh.
In case you were wondering, my fiance and I broke up.
Yeap.
Anyhoos, last night was fun. I was checking the whole night if this guy was online on MSN and finally I got him.. Just as I was going to sleep! We chatted for awhile till my battery decided to run out...
He reminds me so much of Mon. I miss Mon. I miss our laughs and his silly stories. I miss the way we would be when it was just him and I. I miss the look we would give each other every now and then.
He is such an asshole. He just didn't know what he was doing and thought that everything is fine being the way that it was. Haiz.
Back to this new guy, let's just label him TP (no, not traffic police!). He's too familiar. They share the same vocabulary! He calls me the same names that Mon used to call me.
He helps me not miss Mon so much. He wasn't just any guy, he was a great friend. He was the only guy I puked and farted in front of! (Bad drinking experience!) He was that guy I could call up crying and know that he would make sure I would stop. And ensures that I stop.
Oh dear. I should stop talking about him.
Tomorrow will be eventful. Elvin will be there. I have to remind myself that he is just a friend. Although the way we got to know each other wasn't meant for us to be just friends.
I've accepted the fact that I'm just not his type though. I'm no angel, and he wants an angel. A fair and slim one. Haha.
Anyhoos, more updates tomorrow!!

- 20:14 Was told by @sacentrepreneur that the candy I was eating smelled like cleaning supplies. They kind of tasted like it too. #

There's recently been a little bit of controversy in the Cincinnati area, over a billboard of all things. You might wonder if it's the WB or CW (or whatever the trashy teenager TV station is in your area) fanning the flames of suburban discontent by posting sexually explicit images of their latest barely legal teen drama rife with sex, lies and booze. That's usually the offender around here anyway. Show a little too much skin on a billboard or commercial, and somebody's bound to get twisted up about it. But no, the WB wasn't the perpetrator this time. It was this:
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm scratching my head on this one. I know inflammatory when I see it, and there's nothing patently offensive about this billboard. The Coalition of Reason, a national organization with an affiliate in Cincinnati, said this is the first time this has ever happened to them in the United States (removal of ad space due to threats). Way to go, Ohio. Always a bastion of progressive ideals and tolerance, aren't we?
See, here's my problem. I drive all over the interstates of Ohio to visit family and friends. For the past few years, each of my trips throughout Buckeye land have been in the company of some awesome billboards dotting the farmlands of the Midwest. There's the one with the Ten Commandments. There's the one with the aborted baby on it, a surefire way to get me to reconsider my position on abortion. There's the notorious Big Butter Jesus on I-75, from a church who apparently missed the section of the bible about graven images and idols. There's the billboard screaming at me, "If you died today, would you spend eternity in HELL?" The word "HELL" is adorned by some nifty artwork flames.
My point is, I'm surrounded every where I go by people's expressions of faith. They run the gamut from a simple cross adorning someone's front yard, to the cheesy, glaring jumbo-tron messages at mega-churches on the side of the road. While I find much of these expressions silly and at times even ignorant, it never occurred to me to demand that these monuments to someone's faith be removed because I don't agree with the underlying philosophies. It certainly has never occurred to me to threaten someone to remove their personal expressions of faith. I believe strongly that everyone has a right express how they feel, which isn't always an easy stance to stomach when you tend to be in a minority demographic for, well, most things. Especially religion. So why is it that I, a person without faith or religion, can exercise civility and tolerance in the face of diverging worldviews (and pictures of aborted fetuses and reminders that I'm going to hell)...but those under the tutelage of religions espousing those very ideals cannot? Curious. Very curious.
If you visit the Cincinnati Coalition of Reason's website, their mission is pretty simple. They are a group of nontheistic individuals working to increase awareness and tolerance of secular-minded principles. And campaigns such as the billboard above are intended to reach out to the (at last count) 15% of Americans who claim no affiliation to religion or belief in God. It is intended to help these individuals know that they are not alone, and they are not pariahs in their communities. That they can come together, and share ideas. Can I think of a reason people might find that offensive? Hmm. I can think of a few, ones that are altogether antithetical to the messages many religions claim to espouse.
Isn't it interesting how so many religions, and subsequently splintered denominations of those religions, are birthed from oppression and persecution...and yet, ultimately so many of them go on to repeat the sins of their predecessors?
And in any event, apparently someone has not learned the most important lesson of all here. In drawing more attention to something, you simply give it more power. Which is how I came to find and connect with the Coalition of Reason in the first place. So, I guess if anything, I actually owe somebody a thank you.
- 09:38 @RenovationThrpy that happens to me sometimes too. What causes that? #
- 10:22 @rainnwilson that's really a very creepy looking poster. #

I found out today that a previously very close friend of mine have locked down her twitter account and unfriended me in Facebook. There were previously misunderstandings but I thought we passed them because she told me that she forgave me and we were good. She even referred to me as her best friend. I guess it's all lip service. It is still hard for me to understand when people just end relationships like this so abruptly, without any explanation.
True friends are suppose to love/accept/forgive you no matter what and try work things out with you. I guess my definition of what a true friend is doesn't apply to other people's definitions and I need to realize that.
My life is full of mistakes, and I know that. But I welcome those mistakes so that I can learn from them and grow from them. I never ever do anything knowingly hurtful on purpose, ever. It's just not who I am. If you are a true friend to someone, you will do what it takes to be a true friend, even if it means telling them how they fucked up and hurt you so that they can realize and understand. Then you both can work pass this. I guess my friendship really is worth nothing to some people and it really saddens me.
How will you use technology or the Internet to help you plan and prepare this year’s Thanksgiving feast?

I usually try to use at least one new recipe found on the net. Last year's was crock pot dressing...it was yummy and super easy.
I thought today was friday when I rolled out of bed. Rolled out of bed to the sound of Harrison hacking (more on that in a minute). I even rolled the trash out to the curb and the whole time I was cussing Brett in my mind for forgetting to do it. I got all the way to the street and saw that no one else's trash was out.....shit it's only Thursday.
Oh, and Brett just about forgot his poop in a bag this morning. He came in to kiss me bye this morning and I noticed that his poop was not in his hand w/ his keys and stuff so as he's walking back down the hall I yell as loud as I can at 5:30am "Don't forget your shit bag!!!!"
So on to Harrison. Starting Monday morning he's been dry heaving and when something does come up it's only foam. It only happens for the first few hours after he gets out of bed. Strange. So this continues onto Wednesday when Brett was off work so he took him to the vet yesterday. $250 later we find out that he has a foreign object in his stomach. Great. When I started thinking about it, I realized that he hadn't been eating or drinking much over those few days so I was like we have to do something because it's only going to get worse. He already has a fever which means that "something" was causing a bit of an infection. We made a $700 decision to put a scope down his throat to retrieve this "something" and if that doesn't work then they will cut open his stomach to get it. Whatever this "something" is is too big for him to poop out and if he's not puked it up by now he probably won't. My first thought was omg it's a piece of a pantiliner that I caught him chewing on over the weekend. But I was looking at the xrays last night and I think its too big to be that. From one xray view it is round....about 1.5in across and from the other view it is hardly noticeable, like it's flat. Ok, so now typing this out it makes me think it's a pantiliner again but I really don't think he ate that much of it when I was picking up the pieces of the liner. Anyway, on to the story. The surgery center wasn't going to be able to do his surgery until after 2p yesterday so the vet told Brett he could just take Harrison home and hang out w/ him there until driving him to the surgery center. Brett's dumbass let Harrison eat. Seriously?!? Your dog is about to have STOMACH surgery and you let him eat. I'm sure he was just excited to even see him eating...but still. I was LIVID! and to top it off Brett left the vet without even figuring out where this surgery place is. Here I am at work during a busy freaking clinic day trying to take care of shit that Brett should have been doing. Annoying as hell. So now Brett has to take time off work this morning to take Harrison to the surgery place (which is like 40min away). If all goes well, we'll be able to bring him home tonight. I'm super curious as to what he ate. If it's something of mine I will feel totally guilty. I guess I can't expect much less from a lab though right? A lady at work said her lab ate a whole pair of underwear and was able to poop them out. Gross.
On to more drama....
My cousin had her baby 4 weeks early on Saturday morning. He's been on a vent since Saturday night. She sends me a text message on Monday "do you think u guys could pool some resources for me to get a breast pump? we're having problems with insurance covering one" WTF?! Insurance paying for a breast pump?! Since when!!?
So I call her and left a voicemail "WIC will give you a brand new nice pump to use for 2 months. You should call them and figure that out. If that falls through, I will go to Walmart and buy you a pump and overnight it to you. CALL me so we can figure it out"
She immediately sends me a text right back "phone is about to die. on my way to hosp. call you when I get there"
Freaking 3 hours later she sends me another text "ok the breast pump we can rent for $80/month which we realy can't afford. we can buy one with help from insurance and it'll cost about $150"
Ok...is she freaking insane?!? Pump as the store are like $50 for a decent one and I'm sorry but when you're poor you freaking take what you can get.
My first thought was ok we're not doing business via freaking text message. Grow some balls and freaking have the decency to CALL me if you need something.
So I text her back and say "makes no sense. WIC will supply one or they are $50 at Walmart"
No response back.
I don't give a shit. I'm sorry but thats just plain ass stupid.
And then the stupid girl puts on her Facebook "thanks to my friend from driving all the way across state to visit. So much for family eh?"
It took all I had to not comment. Who the hell does she think she is? Is it anyone else's fault that she's having kids she can't afford and is married to a dude from England who isn't even in this country legally and cheats on her? Really?!
Beggars can't be chosers. I'm not helping someone who isn't willing to try to help themselves.
Why does my fucked up family think I'm diamond jim all of a sudden? Sorry, you ain't getting no cash from me. I will possibly buy you what you need...but nope, not getting cash that you can go blow on cigarettes and shit.
I got more drama....but I'm sick of typing.
Have a great day everyone....and remember it's Thursday..not friday :)
Tootles!
