Tonight, I had dinner with one of my dearest friends from college/high school and whenever we get together, we have these moments that prove why we are friends. For example: N: Oh, I hate those shows that made me cry! My mom wanted me to watch that one show... uh... the one with the.. uh... J: The houses! N: YES!

The thing about working in such a popular place is that you're bound to run into folks. A couple of days ago I was in the park actually playing with friends and I recognized some old acquaintances from college. Back then they were dating and now they were married with their newborn baby girl in the stroller. So of course, I say HI and coo over their new family. We talk about the good old

It's not a suprpise by those who know me, but I admit, I'm not the best driver. There are 2 things going against me. I'm Asian and I'm a female. I'm not one for racial and sexist stereotypes, but in this case, I fit it to the T. And I really do try to be a better driver. And while the last accident I had was actually my fault, the previous 2 before that weren't my bad at all. The one before

Idle threats idle threats. But after a long conversation in the predawn hours post Rapture and thinking about it more and more the last couple of days, I am determined to blog more. Its crazy to think that I started this in 2000. 11 Years!?! What happened? I used to be so cute and adventurous... Now I'm just a sad shell of what used to be.Kidding!!So Nicole, how has it been lately you ask?

Oh no....

Happy Cinco de Mayo kids!! I know... broken promises. I said I would blog more, but obviously I'm not. I know... I suck. But maybe its better this way. I'm not forced to think so hard during the day and when I do, its like a treat for both of us. Yes? Yes.Anyways, keeping with my lifelong theme of "did this really happen to me?" after having dinner with my sister, we ended up at Target.

Like for instance, how I think I may have inadvertently mentally messed up a kid today. Yeah.SO while I was shopping this afternoon, this little boy having a temper tantrum and his mother screaming at him to stop. So there I am,

As the day progressed, the fire inched closer and and closer to Chino Hills, and lo and behold, our city was a buzz with reporters, helicopters, and smoke.

It's been icky hot and I know its going to get worse. Dammit. I'm not a big fan of demon hot weather. I like sunny, but not sweaty. Breezy, not beastly. Delicious, not gross. You know?On top of the heat, due to an electrician accidentally pulling the wires a bit, the complete upstairs of the house was going FUNKY. One side of the house didn't have any electricity. My side, the lights were

Last night at 1am, the Dawson's Creek finale was showing on tv. Granted, I was tired and I need to be up the next day, but the temptation of Pacey and Dawson was much too strong to resist. By 1:15, I was sobbing my eyes out for poor Jen. 1:30- I was still crying.1:45- still going.Basically, any time they showed Michelle Williams, I cried. And the waterworks went full force when she made the

We're not talking about your momma's old school (althought I DO love me some K-Earth Oldies!) but old school OLD SKOOL. Lisa Lisa. Stevie B. The Jets. Stacy Q and her one song. That's the era of awesomeness I'm referring to. That year, there was a concert called the "

Its funny, for the last year whenever I've been asked how old I was, I'd never say "27" but instead reply "I'm turning 28." I don't know why. Perhaps it’s the feeling that 28 just seemed SO OLD ALREADY and I was mentally anticipating the actual age change. Plus 27 doesn't seem like an exciting age… 28, that's 2 years from 30! That just sounds

It was followed with many off-colored remarks from the guys who swear

One of my old co-workers passed away today. Chandran was definitely one of those people who made you smile just by being in the same vicinity as them and his death is heartbreaking because in my mind, he was invincible. He has survived some numerous heart attacks, several strokes, and goodness knows he cursed like a sailor... nothing really got him down.Chandran was the comment card king.

If we had room, I'm sure a pinata would have been beaten down to a candy pulp!

I was joking with Trainer Erik the Embryo that I had heard that when you donate blood, you loose a pound so I wanted to inquire if I can donate at least 5 pounds. He didn't find it too funny. He also didn't find it funny when I told him that I was kidding and that I throw up what I'm eating instead. Some people are so dry. :

Or is it because I've been dancing hardcore and I'm all sweaty. Is that my wiles? Cause if that were the case, its not really mine, its everyone in this place who's been jumping around and rubbing against each other. Or maybe

So then I went to the front desk and asked if anyone had seen or returned keys... the girl was really nice

In addition to having it recorded on my DVR, HBO keeps on showing it over and over again hence me walking around the house singing "POP GOES MY HEART."

I can go and run out and play with the other kids now... with moderation of course. :) No more bubble for me Ma. I'm swell! I did end up going to the hospital last Saturday where when asked about the wait for urgent care, the horrid woman at the counter exclaimed "READ THE SIGN". Oh wow. Really? I thought

Happy Pi Day!!

2007-03-14T00:39:00.000-07:00

This is why I'm hot...

2007-03-07T22:45:00.000-08:00

Cause I'm still sick.Slowly but surely I am getting better. Although I'm still coughing quite a bit, I'm feeling not as wretched. YAY FOR NOT AS WRETCHED!Funny thing is that when I walked through the front door on Saturday afternoon, my mom stuck her head out of the kitchen and exclaimed "How are you feeling baby?" I don't know about you but no matter how old you are, but there's a sweet comfort

Brrrr its cold in here...

To make matters worse...The water heater busted the other night so we are all enduring "vigorous" and "oh so refreshing" cold showers that are nowhere near glorious. Its rather torturous and I can literally feel my fingers become frostbitten when I

This is my first time watching "Parental Control" on MTV where parents who hate the person their kid is dating set them up with new dates. Apparently in this episode, the girlfriend is a controling gold digger who's talking smack about the new girls AND the guy's parents. Oh my gosh, she's SO rude to her parents!! That's soooo bad and I'm uncomfortable. Talk about trainwreck... and total

I love it when we're crusin together...

As I was driving to work, the check engine light went off in my car. Seeing that I have had many bad experiences with check engine lights going off in my car (Boo to you Volkswagon!! Boo to you!!) paranoia settled into my mind and I promptly called out of work and took my worried self along with the disco blinking light to the shop thinking that my day was going to be spent in a waiting

I hate you Grey's Anatomy. I hate you with all of my being. Ok. Not all.But you made me ansy. You made me queasy. YOU, Grey's Anatomy, made me watch you in mute. Whats the deal with the drill!? You think I'd like that? Then you made Izzy tell George what she felt about his marriage. Seriously?! AND THEN YOU PULLED THAT DEAD THING...Lame lame lame.But you did make my heart flutter a bit

3 things come into mind whenever this time of the year comes along. 1. CHOCOLATE! Chocolate is everywhere. My theory with Valentines in the timeline of the year is that Valentines is the day where all diets stop. Christmas, you gorge because you're celebrating life, family, etc and typically you celebrate over food. New Years, you realize what you've done (specifically what you've eaten) and

Webster’s dictionary defines ‘wedding’ as “the fusing of two metals with a hot torch”.

2007-02-08T23:14:00.000-08:00

Tonight's OFFICE was difficult to watch. I was cringing everytime Michael opened his mouth. Eh. But let me say that watching GREY'S ANATOMY was a lot more cringe worthy. SERIOUSLY! The situations they get into become more and more intense... from bombs in patients, to patients with toxic blood that makes everyone passout to FERRY BOMBS AND BODIES ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! What's next GREY'S!?!

Oh no lets go!

Prince is totally rocking it out in the superbowl. TOTALLY. I'm getting goosepimples and I'm seriously wowed. Its raining and he's going insane over there in Superbowl land. My mom on the other had is looking very disgusted... basically because when we were younger she hated his songs because of his "ow" or his singing high pitch moans (ie: "I just want your extra time and your '

I was at the 24 hour walmart earlier today and while in the check out line (shampoo and mouthwash if you were terribly interested), there was a guy wearing a shirt that said "I <3 Latinas". The punk in me really wanted to go up to him, pout, and say "Are you telling me I don't have a chance!?!" but instead I did it mentally and giggled incessantly to Carlene.It was just one of those days... ;)

So I saw the weirdest thing on the freeway today. I was driving and as I was switching lanes, I looked to my left and saw a man driving with his right arm on the wheel, but doing reps with what looked like a 10lb barbell over his head with his left arm. A 10lb barbell!!I would have taken a picture, but I was running somewhat late and I couldn't locate my phone (darn you big purse!), instead I

And with those words, I was magically whisked away on a somewhat spontaneous trip where I learned many things...Like...What to do when you have 10 working professionals and 1 free hotel room... Air Matresses Galore!!Or what to do when you have a large amount of alcohol and no ice buckets or a cooler... or lets just say not enough room in general...Yay for lovely bathrooms!!Or how to wake up a

Last night was an interesting night...First of all, don't you hate it when you can't seem to get away from something. Its like saying "I hate carrots" and then going to a thai restaurant where you order pad thai but forget to state that you hate carrots and its COVERED in carrots?? And there's carrots all over the place. Your side salad has carrots and lo and behold they only have carrot cake for

Luckily as of right now, I don't have any complaints for the new year. So I guess you can say so far so good. The sun is shining. (But not tomorrow... apparently its going to rain.)

Happy New Years kids!! I hope everyone had a lovely evening whether it was spent drinking it up with homies, dancing it up like a hootch, watching Dick in NY, or just even just sleeping. :) Fortunantly for me I was just grateful not to have spent it at work. I guess you can say that was my final resolution of 2006: Make sure the first minutes of the new year are with those whom I love. And while

How funny, Kate and Leopold is showing on TNT right now... and I think it was exactly 5 years ago when I saw it in the theater. 5 years?! Oh my gosh... But it was GO WEST. I was watching it with Kathy just to kill time before going back and spending the night at the Glendale YMCA. Oh my gosh, it WAS exactly years ago to this day because the next day we were off to Pasadena where we made puppets

Has anyone seen that commerical? I think its for like Proactive or some other skin care treatment, but Sonny and I were watching TV the other day and we heard that line and thought "OUCH!" That would totally suck if that was a problem... Which in a way is sorta because I'm breaking out skin-wise. I also have a slight abdominal pain on my left side (not my right which is good because according

It was a long day today and once again... the bed is beckoning. But I'm defying it and staying up a little bit more and enjoying some cider. Sweet delicious cider... you're just like apple juice. Just warmer.When I got home just now, I found a Christmas card on the table addressed to me. Oooey gooey goodness filled my heart and I teared into the envelope. It was from Philly. Phil is probaby one

Great thing about the holidays... Music on the radio. I'm not talking about the Christmas songs, I'm talking about the mixes. Currently Power 106 is having their Merry Mix-mas and let me tell you, everytime I get into my car its like a club. I'm dancing, I'm thrashing my hair around, I'm happy and I'm really REALLY enjoying the Ying Yang Twins and loud obnoxious booty gansta music. And it's for

I recorded the Iron Chef America tonight because 1) The battle is between Rachel Ray and Giada De Laurentiis 2) Assisting them is Bobby Flay and Mr Shants, Mario Batali 3) Hilarity will ensue. I'm not a big fan of Rachel Ray... but I'm cheering her on because she has Mr. Shants Batali on her side and lets face it, Flay is still an asshat. The secret ingredient tonight is cranberry... and can I

Its offical. I am running out of time to Christmas shop. I don't know if its just that I'm busy with work... or nevermind. It's work. It's always work. :) I'm not complaining, but when I try to get away from it, it seems to suck me back in.It could be worse. I could be a crack whore. Then work would REALLY REALLY suck because really, what does a crack whore do? I don't want to know.

Once again, I ought to be sleeping... but I'm not. Addiction or sheer madness? Don't answer that... more than likely I won't like the outcome.I was shopping today and at one point I got extremely frustrated because 1) I was in line 2) I had 8 dozen roses in my car needing to get in water 3) I needed extra floral tape and ribbon and figured Michael's would be the best place to go... but they

Let me tell you there's nothing better than driving at night, in the rain, with some good music accompanying you. The car's all cozy and warm, the lights just reflects off the ground and the whole world is shiny... and there you are with Getz and everything just seems perfect. Actually, there's a lot of things better than that... but when you're in the moment, nothing beats that... Like

But while at the window, there was a man next to me who I assume was having problem with whatever his felony was and started getting more and more agitated by the minute. Let me tell you, people getting yell-y and

Crazy. Crazy for feeling so lonley....

I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt that I was at my old house in San Dimas and playing Patsy Cline's "Crazy" on the piano... when Willie Nelson comes along and plays and asks me to sing the song. So after each verse he scrambles around the room and accompanies me with a different instrument... first the piano, then the citar (who remembers that thing!!), then the conga drum, then he

Its funny how you can look back at your horoscope and go "oh crap. That did happen." Because in my case it does quite often. For example, yesterday's reading:Your crackling energy takes a turn for the mellow and sweet early on in the day. Enjoy it to the fullest. Later on, you find an unexpected reservoir of power that propels you into tackling the next big thing. Can I get a "AN HOW" to the

Hi love. I'm still alive.Its not that I've forgotten you. Though I really have no "offical" reason why I haven't been here in a while. It's a culimation of stuff I guess... the feeling of "I have no idea what to write" to "There's no need to be bitchy in such a public forum" to "No one wants to hear your sob story" to "Eh. I'm lazy and my fingers don't feel like typing".I pinky swear I'll be

So today, there was a couple out front who was asking for me, and from the sound of it, they made the impression that they actually KNEW who I was. Odd thing was that when I looked up the name, I had no clue whatsoever who they were.Of course, I'm hesitant to go out. What if they're crazy stalkers finally making their move? What if they're friends of crazy stalkers who are having them finally

Cleaning out my heart

Last night after dinner, I recieved a frantic call from my sister saying that the upstairs bathroom had flooded somehow and now the entire upstairs was wet as well as the garage underneath it since everything had seeped through. So I raced upstairs and while the damage was minimal, there was a lot of cleaning ahead.Fast forward to this morning-I'm in the garage with Carlene and SOnny and we're

The other night, I dreamt that I was taking a shower in a house I've never been into before. The shower itself had a window that went from your shoulders up... so basically you can see the backyard. So am I'm taking this shower, it looks like there's a storm outside and little by little the house starts to fall apart. Like leaves fly off the roof, then the gutter splits away and there's mud

I went to Life Plaza tonight to gawk at all the cuteness. Nothing makes me happier than tangible cuteness. Puppies. Kitties. Pink japanese notebooks with pictures of smiling waffles and little sayings such as "Dreams are what blessings sing." It all makes me smile. My loot today was star making paper and a box of strawberry pocky. How I heart strawberry pocky. When I first walked into the

Throwdown bitches

2006-08-07T02:05:00.000-07:00

Does anyone else think that the Bobby Flay show "THROWDOWN" on the food network is just a little bit unfair? I mean, there you are a regular chef and here comes Bobby Flay, challenging you to a cook-off. This famous, world renowed chef wants to know if you are better than him. Just a little bit cocky don't you think? Its one thing on Iron Chef when people want to challenge you Bobby Flay, but

2006-08-05T22:48:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, its all that you dream. Then sometimes, you can't seem to breath and you don't exactly know what to do. I know God wouldn't give me anything I can't handle, but sometimes you just want to scream "What the hell... Can we just fast forward to the part where it doesn't hurt so much?"

Rainbows and butterflies

2006-07-28T00:47:00.000-07:00

Today when I got into my car, a butterfly followed and fluttered around inside. For a moment I thought "Wow, this is something you don't see everything... this is pretty amazing!" and if I had my camera, I would have tried to capture it on film (or memory. Go technology, although I do miss the feeling and sound of film "clicking" in my SLR) but then it got really close to me and I sorta

Once upon a time... about 6 years ago, there was a silly girl who blogged. She wrote about everything underneath the sun... life, family, friends, her hatred for a 1998 Volkswagen beetle (boo to you!), her dogs, and of course, this seemingly little crush on Lance Bass and the boys of N'SYNC. Given the light of today's news, I'd like to share with you some of that silliness.December 18

Yay! Today is supposed to be my first day back to work after having a long delicious week of vacation... I guess I should go back, how else am I going to support that crack habit? Anyways, overall Vegas was fun. Although I didn't do any hard drinking or dancing or gambling like what everyone would assume one would do in Vegas for one's birthday, what I did was spend some quality time with my
