Lên lịch

Cày như con bò

Hôm qua boss vừa email cái lịch làm việc đến hết năm nay. Coi xong thì chán ngán. Chỉ được nghỉ ngày Christmas và New Year. Lúc họp ngắn có hỏi boss là nếu New Year’s Eve làm đến khuya thì có được uống champagne không. Boss chỉ cười không trả lời, chắc champagne cũng không có mà uống. Còn chưa tính thứ bảy sau khi Christmas có thể phải vác thân đi làm nữa chứ, boss bảo là gần đến ngày mới có quyết định thật sự. Thế là toi cái plan road trip to NYC. Uổng lắm vì cả nhà ai cũng được nghỉ từ Christmas tới sau New Year luôn (tại ai cũng làm chung 1 hãng), định sẽ đi NYC chơi một chuyến. Đang thèm dimsum mà chắc năm sau mới ăn được. Thảm quá! Thôi ráng nhịn đến tháng 1 là có thể ăn rồi.

Lễ Tạ Ơn

Năm nay dịp lễ tạ ơn được đi Michigan chơi. Michigan đây không phải Michigan State mà là Michigan City của Indiana. Sáng giờ google coi ở Michigan City có gì chơi & tham quan không thì chỉ thấy cái Lighthouse place premium outlet và Bluechip casino & spa là hấp dẫn nhất thôi mà chắc không đi casino vì có biết chơi gì đâu vả lại chơi thì tốn tiền mình cũng chẳng vui À mà Michigan City thì cách Chicago chừng 60 miles, đang năn nỉ O tách riêng đi Chicago ăn uống. Mình có thể được ăn dimsum sớm hơn dự định, nghĩ mà vui. Có ai ở Chicago biết chỗ nào ăn uống ngon, đi chơi sướng thì cho mình biết nha.

Mùa Đông này anh sẽ cưới em

Tháng 1 mình và O làm bridesmaid & groomsman cho S&C’s wedding ở MD. Coi như là có thêm một dịp đi chơi và reunion mới mấy chị NS của mình. Nghĩ tới thấy nôn nhưng đang ngán vụ 8 tiếng lái xe, cầu mong sao lúc đó đừng có tuyết. À nếu có ai biết chỗ nào ăn ngon thì cho mình biết luôn nha. Đi DC/VA/MD hai lần rồi mà chỉ biết có mỗi Eden Center.

Đang định mua đôi giày đẹp đẹp, đang chấm đôi này nhưng đang lưỡng sự với giá tiền. Nên mua không ta? Không có size của mình, đỡ tốn tiền quá I still like it though!

Near to you

He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn’t last
I loved him so but I let him go
‘Cause I knew he’d never love me back

Such pain as this
Shouldn’t have to be experienced
I’m still reeling from the loss,
Still a little bit delirious

Near to you, I am healing
But it’s taking so long
‘Cause though he’s gone
And you are wonderful
It’s hard to move on
Yet, I’m better near to you.

You and I have something different
And I’m enjoying it cautiously
I’m battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be

He’s disappearing
Fading subtly
I’m so close to being yours
Won’t you stay with me
Please

Near to you, I am healing
But it’s taking so long
‘Cause though he’s gone
And you are wonderful
It’s hard to move on
Yet, I’m better near to you.

I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I belong
Where you are

Near to you, I am healing
But it’s taking so long
Though he’s gone
And you are wonderful
It’s hard to move on

Near to you, I am healing
But it’s taking so long
‘Cause though he’s gone
And you are wonderful
It’s hard to move on
Yet, I’m better near to you.

Yet, I’m better near to you.

How’s that job going for you?

Well it’s going exactly like that…Yep…life is grand…

August

I can’t believe it’s already August. Time is passing by way too fast for me. I feel like I haven’t accomplish much this year as in personal improvements but I guess for everything else, I’ve made some progress.  My parents are closing on a house this Thursday.  I’m pretty excited because our family finally has a home that I think is a big transition from our current place in term of space. Soon I will be living in my parents’ basement (for the rest of my life if they allow me to ). The bf is moving in as well, oh and yeah we’re engaged but I still can’t call him my fiancee. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to the term, it jus sounds so strange to me. Anywho, I’m very excited to move on to another chapter of my life that involves another human being and I can’t wait to start building our lives together.  He has been practically at my house every day since we started dating, so I thought it would save him some money and time coming over to my house, instead he can just come home to me (aww isn’t that sweet lol ). We’re not planning on a wedding soon though, I want to wait until 2011 instead but it’s never too early for me to start planning my wedding in my head now (what a freak I know).  Yesterday was also my first time buying big ticket items. I went furniture shopping with my mom hoping to get a good deal on a dining set. Three sale transactions and a couple of hours later, I ended up with 2 sofa sets, 1 dining set, 1 bed, and 1 mattress. At the end of the day, I couldn’t figure out if it’s because I had a great deal on those items or if I got hypnotized the minute I entered the store. Now I can’t wait for the furniture to be delivered in two weeks. It’s the first time in my life that I bought something big with my own hard earned money. I can’t wait to sleep in my queen-sized bed. Is this a sign of growing up if I get excited about furniture?

June

Update: I didn’t get to go to Chicago since both my bf and cousin had to work on Saturday and my cousin from NY has to fly back to NYC early. Boo!

I think June might be the busiest month for me this year. Every weekend in June is booked with activities . It’s only halfway through June and I’m already tired but am very excited as well. The first weekend was my bf’s sisters’ HS graduation. Last week my favorite cousin graduated from college and we had a big party at his place. Saying I’m really proud of him is an understatement. Now, I can’t wait for our mini trip to Chicago this weekend to see our other cousin from New York. My cousin from NY is working in Chicago for 3 weeks so we thought it would be nice to go to Chicago to see him and since I’ve never been to Chicago, I get to be tourist as well. I’m still need to finalize the itinerary though as I don’t want to waste too much time trying to figure what to do when we’re there. I hope it will be a good trip.  Finally on the last weekend of the month, I’ll be attending a friend’s wedding. Actually I will be helping in the morning ceromony as well. I will be receiving gifts from the groom’s side.  On top of what I’ve listed above, I’ve been house hunting for the past couple of months. I’ve tooked my family to numerous open houses and we’ve actually put in an offer over the weekend. I hope we can get the house so all this exhausting search will be over soon. I have some news that I want to hold off until July but some of my close friends knew already, my bf is bad at keeping it low. Until then, have a great summer everyone!

An ordinary day #2

I made chicken salad from left-over rotisserie chicken last night and I have to say I’m really proud of myself. I made something edible for once Today I went to get the Hawaiian rolls after work and I’ve been eating non-stop ever since.

An ordinary day #1

This week has gone by fast, I can’t wait for Friday to come and for the weather to get warmer. I’m officially over with this winter weather. During my commute this morning, I heard it will reach 40 degrees tomorrow on the radio. That makes me happy. The bf is also starting to go to the gym again, but without me this time though. He’s trying to lose that fat belly that he blamed on me for feeding him too much over the last 1 and a half year. He told me he wouldn’t see me yesterday because he was going to the gym but he ended up at my house afterward anyway. I tempted him with banh uot and he gladly obliged. Anyway, we’ve been seeing each other practically every day since we started dating so I think some time alone without each other would do us good. I think it’s important to foster your relationship but at the same time  allowing each other to grow independently. That’s one good thing I learned from my past relationship. He now can have his “men time” or whatever it is and I am perfectly fine with it.

Moving on to another note, I found out that I have seemed to misplace my bank card after work yesterday and I couldn’t  find it anywhere. The last time I used it was at Panera on Monday. I either left it at Panera or accidently threw it in the trash can when I cleaned out my purse on Tuesday at work. I checked my account this morning and luckily no one has used it yet so I think I must have throw it away in the trash can. I will have to call my bank later today to get a new one. This is not my first time losing my card but it was okay because they would issue a new one for free but now I heard from my sister that they are charging for it. So maybe this help me to not lose my card that easily.

Enough blabbing, got to get back to work. I hope it’ll stay this slow today.
