Happy New Year everyone!

The Arrival of SEM

Sidney Emanuel

There was a new addition to my little Trojan Family. At 12:20 am on December 29, 2007, a very healthy 9lbs, 7oz, 22 inch baby boy named Sidney "Cid" Emanuel was born. He is so cute! I want to kiss his little toes and then pinch them! hehehehe. No, I don't want to pinch them, maybe just a little. I don't know.

Baby Cid and his Daddy

Santa Bay-bee

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all had a super-fabulous Christmas and got everything you wanted from Santa. I did, well almost..hehehehe. ;) In time, I will get it. I am very excited about the upcoming year. There is going to be so much change on so many levels with so many of the peeps in my life, oh and me too. I can feel it. It's going to be great! I've been daydreaming about it ALL day. Yup. So great!

The dreams pertaining to a specific someone, have started up again. I thought I said goodbye to those. The only thing I can think to do is just let it happen and not say any thing. It's not my place to. Not with him anyways. In other dream news, someone new made an appearance. I kinda like that.

"Super" and "great" are the words of the moment. I think the lack of sleep is making me strangely bouncy, optimistic, and more random that usual (if that's possible). Having said that, GOODNIGHT! :)

I made you rice crispys with sprinkles!

Happy Holidays! Yep, that's right. It's already the 21st..err..I guess it's really the 22nd..hehehehe...and I've finished my x-mas shopping, made some holiday treats, and yet I am still not in that Christmas-y mood. By this time every season, I'd of had my fill of holiday music, watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "White Christmas" at least a couple times each, and have paper cuts from all the wrapping paper.


*sigh* I don't think I've watched a single movie that has Christmas in it, and none of the shows I watch have a special Christmas episode. The closest thing to a Christmas Carol that I've heard is Be Your Santa Claus by Keith Sweat (okay, it was free on iTunes...umm..I should have passed..its too XXX-mas for me). Okay I exaggerate a little. I have been listening to Dean Martin - Baby it's cold outside. And damn is it cold outside!

I think part of the lacking of the whole holiday feel is that this year we don't have a tree at home. It's sitting in our living room of the Vegas house. This picture from Bella Terra will be my tree. hehehehe.


I'm currently listening to Marie Digby - Bring Me Love. That's all I want for Christmas. Hehehehe. :)

Did you hear that?

After yet another restless and cough filled night, I decided to call Dr. B and get myself and appointment..PRONTO. I told Gloria I was wheezing and she fit me in right away. :)

I get there and have to wait. There is no one in the waiting room, and yet I am waiting. Oh well. Then the cutest little boy with a cold comes in with his mom. He's coughing and sneezing and came up to me a few times to say "hi". SO CUTE! He was running around and drops his equally cute stuffed puppy. As he bends over to pick it up, he farts. It was so cute that I could almost ignore the poopie sour milk smell it left behind.

Finally I get in to see Dr. B. We go through my symptoms. He tells me that the last time I saw him was last September with the same stuff. We go through this process EVERY year. Next year when I go see him in October, he will tell me he last saw me in December and go through the whole thing again. :) It's our thing.

He goes to take my blood pressure on my left arm. He sees my USC ring and we strike up a conversation about USC. His son goes there, he's a freshman majoring in Architecture. He's thinking of switching to Engineering. I miss USC. I fell in love with that campus the moment I step foot on it during my senior year of high school. I probably bleed cardinal and gold.

I left there with new allergy medicine, a nasal spray, a refill of my inhaler, a steroid, an antibiotic, and a cough medicine with codeine....

to the left, to the left

I've been feeling blah since last Tuesday. At first I thought it was the traveling between So. Cali to No. Cali for a freakin 2 hour long meeting that really didn't do anything but support my boss's theory that I am kind of an idiot. Well she hasn't actually said she thinks this, but I can tell by the way she looks at me that she thinks it, or maybe that's just how her face is? Anyways...

It started with the body aches and sore throat. Then came the stuffy nose, the wheezing, the sneezing, and the coughing. Then the phlegm. Who knew it could be..so..colorful...and...thick... The sneezing and coughing is driving me nuts. I've lost two bras to this: 1) Saturday - the left strap broke after a coughing fit, 2) Tonight - the wire supporting my left boob snapped in half after a huge ass sneezing fit. Yes, whenever this happens its always the left side, because after all, its the slightly bigger of the two. (Is that TMI?)

Luckily, all the times that this has happened I have been home. Well..except for that one time on the way to Vegas the seat belt was crushing me. When I went to adjust it, it got caught and the wire somehow snapped. Rusty didn't notice, thank goodness, but I did every time it poked me. That was the longest car ride ever.

To my friends...

"I Will Be Here" cover by Jeremy "Passion" Manongdo. I randomly came across this dude on youtube..I heart youtube. So good. Me like.

Corina-isms

Words are great, the ability to mix them up and change them around is even better. You can convey so much more with a single modified word than with a whole sentence. I think this is why I loved the musical "Wicked"...it was Oz-tastic...hello! "de-greenify"?! It's like I wrote the script, really. =)

There are definitely words, phrases, expressions, etc. that I use often. Here are some, but I'm sure there are MANY more:

• "blahfriend" or "fauxfriend" - On the verge of being a boyfriend, but falling short of that status. It often looks like a romantic relationship on the outside, but in reality it was never defined.
• "booty-eyes" - The palest green I've ever seen, the color of your eyes...
• "Bruined" - something that has been ruined because of its affiliation with a cross-town rival.
• "crackberry" - I did not make this one up, but I understand it VERY well.
• "day-th" - Plans with someone of the opposite sex that is not a date. It usually occurs during the day...like lunch.
• "derustify" - The act of going out, having fun, meeting people, in order to get yourself back into the dating "game".
• "fobulous" - Fabulously fob of course!
• "get all 'Emily' about it" - Refusing someone from talking to someone else because they have a history (Think Ross, Rachel, and Emily from Friends).
• "getting fresh" - Granted I did not make this phrase up, but I have been using it a lot lately. I wish it were on better terms, but no.
• "ham-tastic" - a delicious dish that has pork, bacon, or ham in it.
• "happy nappy" - The best naps that last anywhere between 45 minutes to 2 hours. You wake up completely refreshed.
• "hum-min-ah" - The degree and speed at which you say this phrase indicates just how hot that guy over there is...
• "kill me" - equivalent to "I just said/did something stupid" and always pertains to a boy.
• "Lucy" - My sassy alter-ego.
• "meh" - Equivalent to "Just not feeling it"
• "Moanday" - Mondays, they are the worst.
• "ponytail time" - The time of the day when you just have to pull your hair back and forge through the rest of the workday.
• "shirt-fit" - A body that is so fit, that it makes a plain old t-shirt look gooood.
• "slak" - A guy who "Sounds Like A Keeper" in the most sarcastic sense of the phrase
• "super-fabu" - super fabulous :)
• "worry dreams" - The freaky premonition dreams I have about my friends.

Save a little for me...

won't you save a little?...save a little for me...

I see it. Everyone with his or her someone, and then there is me. I tried. This year, I really tried to move on. I'm still scared. I'm still shy. I'm still guarded. I'm not going back, but I'm not going forward either. I really want to.

Over, under, around the tree

Guess what? I do believe in one short day, I AM OVER IT! So over it! I mean it this time. (I know what you're thinking Xtine "...") So over it! I am....really...really I am...why don't you believe me?

What was the appeal anyways?

iLiked. iLost. iMiss.

I'm frustrated, upset, annoyed, jealous, sad, confused, regretful, angry...I want so badly to be "over it". I want to shut it off without shutting down. Am I making sense?

T-A-G-I-K-H-L-H-S-I-N-T-G

Boy, I am so N-T-G...not his anyways, but one day I will be someone elses.
