I just haven't met you yet

Michael Buble does it again! Am completely smitten with this song. A good song, comfort food, and tea will do wonders to a tiring day and some slightly stressful situations from work. Can't wait for the album to come out. :D

Family Trip

So this past weekend, I accompanied my parents and a couple of their friends to Sedona, AZ for a couple days of "nature-ness" and to allow our bodies to soak up the damn awesome magnetic fields that will cleanse our bodies...etc.

Since pictures speak louder than words here we go:

Arriving at the entrance of Sedona National Park after a 6 1/2 hour drive (restroom stops not included.....this is what happens when traveling with the elderly--or people with really small bladders).

This is where we were staying for the duration of the trip. It is also the full definition of camping--Asian Style.

Hiking Trip would not be complete with out hiking sticks.

But the scenary makes up for presence of strange walking sticks.

One thing that I really realized and loved were the presence of these big fluffy clouds everywhere. Something one does not easily get in Sol Cal--absolutely adored them.

And that pretty much sums up my weekend escapade. Well sans the half hour stay at the Grand Canyon and then decision to drive all the way back to Sol Cal 8 hours straight (again not including restroom stops); but that is a story for another day.

Life at the Moment

1:35AM and I am still up. Well I suppose it serves me right to take a nap right after I ate and now I am up and unable and unwilling to go to bed. Life has been pretty much an out of body experience lately and let me tell you, describing it as 'strange' barely scratches the surface. Roommate suddenly is turning into this tyrant in apartment cleanliness and is dictating that every crumb and pan be scrubbed and cleaned.....sigh. My home is not my home I suppose, that and I shed hair and that is a big no not--sometimes I feel like an unwanted pet...almost. At work, it has been alright, experiments are slowly being worked and data is being steadily churn out. Responsibilities are being increased and load is increasing.

On the crush front, I think I have been alright and actually normally. I haven't messed up too badly...short conversations here and there and a smile occasionally here and there. It is alright, considering that fact that I have accepted that it will never be.

Falling...into something...

Life has been awfully busy lately, yet greatly satisfying. Every waking moment has been filled with work, cooking new recipes, hanging out with friends, fencing, and losing my heart (and mind) when "he" smiles at me.

I think I have a small indication of falling a bit in infatuation/love/lust with this person. (I still can't decide which is which.....sad...huh?) Usually he is reserved, polite to others, but whenever our eyes meet, his smile...oh his smile has enough wattage to give the electricity plants a run for their money. Oh he always smiles at me so unexpectedly in such that it short circuits my brain and I go into daze mode for a couple seconds before I can return a smile or say hello. I bet he just thinks I'm such a big klutz and weird person for reacting the way I do. *Sigh* Like all of my other past crushes...they never seem to work out and that I never seem to be the type of person that they are looking for. But I am determine to ride this crush out with as much dignity I can muster and hope I don't fall too many times.

Seeing Red

Today was a day where everything just pushed me to the brink and I was literally seeing red in front of me. Lost the samples that took a week for me to make at work, came home and roommate was demanding of a couple things that were completely unreasonable, went to fencing and almost died of embarrassment from something I said, and then I saw burrito girl when I went out with A. to vent my heart out. Sometimes I hate smiling when I am dying inside.

It was a fucking shitastic day.

I hope tomorrow will be a better day. G'night world.

So ugly it's cute

Have you ever heard of the expression "So ugly it's cute"? I have, and I didn't really believe in it until now.

What is it? You ask. DUN DUN DUN! It is a baby owl. TOO CUTE!

I wonder if this applies to boys too? hmmm.

.....

It has been a while since I have posted, and suffice to say there has been way too many things that happened in the past couple of weeks that I don't know even how to begin with if I wanted to talk about it.

But so far, a couple good songs have been keeping my sanity inside my head, and the insanity and ridiculousness of my life at bay: " I run to you", "Then", "Wild at Heart", "Small Town USA", "You Belong With Me", "Stand", and a couple more I'm sure.

Oh, that and I recently returned to fencing thanks to a friend of mine--well more like thanking her for making the first jump back easier. The happiness that I feel despite the sore muscles and in ability to walk is surreal. The happiness is so unreal....it is as if I have just gone out on an really nice first date and coming home all giddy. Too much of good stuff is making me second guess and ask myself "How long will this last?" I definitely don't want this to end.

*sigh*

失落沙洲....

"未來我得到的還會有很多， 但失去的，只有你一個"
但唯能慶幸的是 失去, 只有一次.......
