Mothers are hard to hate…
I have been trying, albeit on a somewhat inconsistent basis, to find a way to disengage from my parents, and have frustratingly concluded that it’s like removing the white from the rice that Asians are partial to. It is hard enough to handle your own baggage, dealing with your intellectually challenged asinine boss, failed relationships [...]
Drunk Mover
I watched with apprehension and disbelieve as the dimwitted woman signaled to her drunken male friend to help her move the precious green sofa that she had just purchased from me. The disoriented man was heavily inebriated, and judging from the smell exuding from his breathe, he’d been in that drunken state for a few [...]
History For Sale
Sold leather sofa today and was quite disillusioned about the prospect of the human condition where emotions are attached to inanimate objects. Seems like every item in my surroundings is for sale. The distasteful and loud blue bamboo pot that holds the symbolic good luck charm given to me when I started my first business [...]
Tickets purchased!
So we took the ultimate step today and booked our one way tickets bound for Bangkok. While I am nervous about the fact that the only seats available for two happens to be miles apart from each other, I’m ten times more anxious about the commitment and finality of what the tickets represent. As the [...]
Proper etiquette??
I went out this weekend to a local bar with Hubby and gf. While I was seated with my gf, some guy came along and bought me a drink. Coincidentally, Hubby was at the bar at the time trying to get us drinks. Hmmmmm…. do I drink the complimentary drink or return it to the [...]
Small things in life…
I get so aggravated by some of the minute, redundant things in my life. So much so that I’d rather be jabbed with a needle ten times over than to have to experience the excruciating pain of reliving it all over again. For instance, I find slow moving traffic to be painfully aggravating because there’s [...]
Birthdays
Birthdays suck. It’s a constant reminder that life is moving along and that time is not your friend. Neither is gravity. Who are your friends when it comes to birthdays? Do people who send you a card once a year and see you every other year considered your friends even though they know the name [...]
Life in two suitcases
I can’t believe I have to pack my personal history, 33 years of it, into two lousy semi-efficient suitcases to be traversed at the international terminal. How do you distinguish between what’s worth keeping and tossing out to the hobos loitering in the alley nearby? How do you ascribe a value to sentimental items that [...]
Happy New Year!!
There’s plenty to wish for in the new year, but none any different from those we wished for last year or years before, except maybe a few more pounds off than last. Either way, it seems almost pointless to really make resolutions, particularly those we have no meaningful way of sustaining. So why do people [...]
Trump is a McJoke
Like millions of celebrity obsessed fans in the USA, I’ve been following along and reading every bit of news about the feud between Trump and Rosie O’Donnell. Most of it belongs on a cheap ticket comedy show and some have been purely fabricated. It must be as why would a man with an obviously ridiculous [...]
the Inlaws
I’ve decided to blog about a topic I’m quite knowledgeable about because not only am I an in law, I have tons and tons in my family. First of all, why do we refer to our spouses’ families as the in laws, considering it could easily be confused with the word outlaws. Sometimes it carries [...]
being Rude is not the Norm
Called Continental Airlines today to inquire about credit that I accrued because I had canceled a flight to the Bahamas. Was put on hold for 40 minutes before I decided to try again another time. Not sure why it took me 40 minutes to come to that decision but it’s probably due to the fact [...]
Censorship
As I sit here and think about what I should and should not say as relevant to the few readers, I’m galvanized by the fact that I need to censor my thoughts and ranting. If I can’t complaint, moan and emote in my own spot then I mind as well go into my closet and [...]
2nd Entry of Same Day – the inevitable…
The inevitable will go someting like this…. we arrive in Bangkok and never ever return to the states, wherein our families and friends will forget our existence as we would transcend into the mystique of “going native” and deny that we even know where California is. Well, that’s Plan A. Plan B is if we [...]
First Entry 12/11/2006
So now I think it’s final. I’ve turned in my notice to all my friends, family, and business associates so there’s no turning back at this point. Good or bad, it’s better to do this now then contemplate it any further and procrastinate, or worse yet, to become complacent with where you’re at and what [...]
