December Goals revisited

Happy almost new year! Its the end of the months, which means its time to revisit my monthly goals. Man was it a busy month, unfortunately most of my time and effort was devoted to completing my work goals and not my personal ones. So here we go!

December Goals

  • Lose at least 5 lbs. Fail. I only lost 1.5 lbs in the month of December. Sometime around Thanksgiving my weight loss came to a screeching halt and I've been stuck just short of losing a total of 40 lbs. ARGH!
  • Set up an exercise routine. Semi-fail. I do pilates, but not regularly enough to qualify it as a routine.
  • Organize my closet and craft supplies Fail. I'm in the process of moving, so I don't have a closet to organize at the moment, and as far as craft supplies go, I've been lugging around some of my working supplies in a big bag and small box. I can't wait to be settled and have a designated scrapping area.
  • Redesign my blogs Semi-fail. I made some minor changes to my craft blog and my weight-loss blog, but nothing to qualify as a design change.
  • Complete my December Daily Semi-success. I am still working on my December Daily-ish project. It's coming out cute and I hope to be finished with it sometime this week.
So overall, not a pretty productive month on the personal goal front, but that's OK. Goals are good things to work towards to, but I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't meet them all. Constant work in progress...that's what I am.

New Attitude

If I continue to wait for my turn, it will never be my turn.

Look out people. This time, its going to be me.

Happy Holidays.

Oh my. I have been a bad blogger lately. So sorry. It's been a crazy end of the year...and I don't see myself having much time to blog in the next couple of weeks. So happy holidays to you and may your upcoming year be filled with many blessings!

I am going to be back to add some newness to the blog. 2011 is going to be the best year. I have big plans and a new outlook. Yep. Its only the beginning! <3

So Long November

I can't believe that its December already, which means...time to recap my November goals and set my December ones.

November Goals and Progress
  • Lose another 10 lbs. I didn't lose 10, but 6.5 lbs is good. I'll take it considering I lost a nice 8.25" in the last month..thats right, making the total inches lost 16.5"
  • Buy new clothes and finally buy my boots! I went shopping with Xtine and bought some cute stuff at Forever 21 and H&M...oh yes. even 30 year olds shop there too. hehe.
  • Knock off 2 items on my 30 while 30 list I didn't complete any items on my 30 while 30 list, however I did do some cooking and tried a couple of new recipes.
  • Get a storage unit and move the non-essentials there Fail. No storage unit. No moving.
  • Craft like crazy I didn't craft like crazy, but I did make the base for my December Daily. I can't wait to get started!
December Goals
  • Lose at least 5 lbs.
  • Set up an exercise routine.
  • Organize my closet and craft supplies
  • Redesign my blogs
  • Complete my December Daily
Lets finish off 2010 with tons of fun!! wooohoooooo!

[Compartmentalized] is me...

I'm a little blog crazy. I LOVE google-reader and am following waaaaaaaay to many blogs. way. too. many. The same is true for blog writing. I'm blogging almost daily...but does it show anywhere? Not really. Why? It's because I have way too many blogs...one blog for crafts, one blog for inspiration, one blog of personal randomness, I even have a weightloss blog (currently password protected, sorry, there are numbers on there that I've only let a few choice people know about). They all represent various aspects of my life, however, like my brain, its all over the place. Certain blogs are being maintain fairly constantly (hurray for weight-loss!)..while some...are being badly neglected...(sorry craft blog).

There are days when I want to scrap everything and start over with a fresh, new, all-inclusive blog. There are other days when I'm glad I have a designated place for just inspiration photos or just randomness. I'm also glad that I can keep certain aspects of my life more private than others, but still have the ability to share them with certain people.

But then again...who else, other than me, is reading this? I'm guessing not so many, but that's okay. All this is just a way to document who I am right now so when I look back on it I can think to myself, wow. I'm kind of weird. and dramatic. and a little emo. Good Times. :)

BEV Mode

I'm in total Broody Emo Vampire (BEV) mode. *sigh*

I feel like crap.
I can't sleep soundly.

Little things are bugging me more than necessary.
I hate that I still think about him.
I'm bloated.
Crying seems to just happen out of no where.
I'm even more dramatic that normal (if that's even possible).


Yep.

I'm pretty sure this is not a cute look for me. BEV mode looks so much more intriguing on guys...and hot too. Damn you boys. *shakes fists*

toast and jam..

Randomly as I worked this verse popped in my head:

He likes bread and butter,
he likes toast and jam,
That's what his baby feeds him,
he's her loving man.

I don't even remember the name of the song or who sings it. I might not even have gotten the verse right. All I know is that it's stuck in my head.

...and I really want some toast and jam.

the end.

Friday Randoms

  • I've stepped out of my box and am wearing something totally out of the norm for me: black tank, black leggings, grey "are you a shirt or are you a dress" top, long grey sweater, and my black boots.
  • I'm semi regreting said outfit because I'm a lil cold. brr.
  • My kits from Studio Calico arrived and I <3 it. I keep opening and re-looking at everything like a crazy. I WILL start using it this weekend.
  • I've lost a total of 35 lbs since August. woohoo.
  • I have big ideas to decorate my "transition" home (aka. my room at my parents) when I move in the next few months
  • This weekend is going to be a good one filled with friends, shopping, possibly a new phone, a lil fight watching. :)
Happy Friday!

Overheard Randomness

I was at Micheal's overspending AGAIN when I heard this random conversation between a young couple in the paper aisle (yes I know I don't need any more paper, I only bought 3 sheets, and they were Basic Grey, and I have a specific project in mind for it!)

Him: Lets go here.
Her: It's Vegan
Him: Yeah, I want to try it.
Her: It's Vegan.
Him: So?
Her: Do you even know what that is?
Him: Like healthy stuff right?
Her: No animals at all, not even animal byproducts.
Him: oh
Her: I don't know if I'm in the mood to try it right now.
Him: Outback sounds good.
Her: Yeah, that sounds good.

Vegan to Outback. hehe. goodtimes.

October Recap and November Goals

I had meant to post this last week. oops! Time is just flying by, I can't believe its November already. It will be the end of the year before we know it!

Here are some October highlights:
  • I attended 3 USC Football games at the Coliseum: vs Washington (boo), Cal (yay!), and Homecoming against Oregon (boo again..)
  • I watched the inauguration of USC's newest President C. L. Max Nikias
  • I attended the Democratic Rally on Campus to see President Obama speak.  
  • That makes 5 visits to campus!!!!!
  • I finally tailgated on campus for Homecoming. Good times.
  •  I lost approximately 7 lbs in the month of October, making the total amount lost since August a cool 31 lbs.
  • With the weight-loss, I also lost 2.75 inches in October, making the total inches lost since September 8.25 inches.
  • I took Amy Tan's workshop and LOVED it. I even won some Hambly Stickers from the class.
  • I placed my first order with Studio Calico, and its a BIG one too...two main kits (October and November) and a bunch of stamps.
  • Work as been busy, but we're catching up. I even managed to take 2 Fridays off!

Now on to November Goals. I hope to revisit these and see how much progress I made at the end of the Month.
  • Lose another 10 lbs.
  • Buy new clothes and finally buy my boots!

Yes. November is going to be a good month!

Homecoming 2010

On Saturday I spent the day on campus tailgating and attending the Homecoming Game. It was my first tailgate and I had lots of fun! I was having so much fun that I didn't take my camera out to take a single picture. =/

So here is a picture of Olivia, Xtine, and Me at the game:

And that completes Item #5 on my 30 while 30 list

[23:03] her: :( go to Ned 
[23:03] her: bed
[23:03] her: unless you know a Ned
[23:03] her: and he's hot
[23:03] me: no. i don't know a ned..i wish i did tho 
[23:04] me: he'd be one of those normal almost geeky looking guys..but then be totally ripped under his sweater vest

Its like thunda...lightnin'...

I'm absofreakinlutely loving this weather. Rain Rain Rain Thunderstorm Rain. The only downside is that Southern Californians are not used to this weather and therefore do not know how to drive in this weather (myself included..hehe).

Oh to be snuggled at home in my pajamas, with my pups, a cuppa soup, all my craft projects, and the DVR. Downside #2, I'm at work. *sigh*

I [heart] USC

Hello there from the USC campus! Yep. I took today off to attend the inauguration festivities of USC's newest President C. L. Max Nikias. He is the 11th President of USC. 11th! That's AMAZING that in the University's history there have only been 10 other Presidents.

I love it here. It's like coming home, even though there are a few more buildings and DPS is on segways and what seems to be more bicycles on campus then what I remember. Right now Xtine and I are sitting outside of the Ronald Tutor Student Center. We both have our Acers out and are pretending to be the Grad Students that we should be. :D

Here are some of the current highlights of the day:
  • We were able to find parking not too far from Troy, the apt building we lived in 3rd year. It took a few circles around the area and a quick tour of The Row, but we found one! I for one cannot parallel park, so I was glad that Xtine was driving.
  • Even though its been years, we blended in like students as we walked to campus...even if we weren't sporting high heels or knee high boots and dresses.
  • The ceremony was interesting. It was a long procession, but it was interesting to see the alums and the various schools and students come together in one place.
  • Since we we've been sitting here in International Plaza, right outside of Sample Hall, there have been about 6 columns carried out of the Campus Center. I have no idea what for, but its funny to see column after column being carried out from downstairs.
  • People watching is so much fun....is it me, or are college guys more cute now then when I was here?
Okay off to explore the rest of campus!

Wenesday Randoms

  1. I've signed up for my second online crafty class. The first one I took was a MiniBook class with Elise. I loved it. So when Amy Tangerine posted her class, I just knew I HAD to sign up. So I did. Class started Monday! Loving all the tips and inspiration.
  2. I've already started and completed a couple of crafty projects. As soon as I get my act together, you should be able to see them on here
  3. I am 29 lbs down. WOOHOO.
  4. I am very behind in reading my Google Reader and am considering just deleting the subscriptions that have an unread total in the double digits...but what if I miss some good stuff?!
  5. My USC Trojan Boys have had some tough losses the past two weeks...so close...oh so close...bah!!
  6. Last night I saw Vampires Suck at the Dollar Theater...yeah..that movie...sucked...but they did a good job finding a Becca that got all of Bellas sighs, hair flips, stuttering, and awkward side glances down.
  7. Looking forward to my day off on Friday. This week has been a killer so far.

Revival

A few months ago, I posted this. It was me being restless and tired and in a funk. That was the beginning of me making some changes. I started putting me first and doing things for myself. Its was just what I needed to wake myself up. I've put some things into motion and I'm seeing things in a whole new light.

Work isn't getting to me as much as it used to. I seem to be catching up on things. Now that could be because I have more help and things have slowed down a bit, but still. I'm taking the changes in stride and I'm cranking the work out. I'm not as stressed or as upset when I am at work, which is GREAT!

My creative juices are flowing like mad crazy. There is so much that I want to make and so much I want to do. The projects that I want to tackle just keep getting bigger and bigger. I'm excited to start some new ventures in the near future.

I'm losing weight, which is one of the biggest changes I've made for myself. I'm working towards an ultimate goal and I have confidence that I will get there...and when I do...daisy dukes and bikini's on top. LOL. jk..maybe.

There are times when I can't shake that tinge of guilt whenever I do something for me. In all those cases, I have no reason to feel guilty. I guess its the noodle in me...Again something that I'm working on to overcome.

Weekly Randoms

It's been a while since I've posted my randoms. Here goes:
  1. I've lost a total of 24 lbs, 5.5 inches, and 2 dress sizes. I'd say the diet is going quite well. Yes it is.
  2. This doesn't stop me from craving sweets...especially cake and ice cream...but I'm trying to be strong and just eat a fat free pudding pak instead.
  3. I think I should reward myself for this amazing feat of self control with a new pair of boots. There are these cute ones at Target that I've been eyeing. 
  4. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I'd wear with them...which means that I would have to buy a couple of cute outfits to go with the boots.
  5. Which is a problem because I was just at Target and spent $60 on toiletries (man are those sonic toothbrush heads expensive) and the new John Legend CD.
  6. I think I'm going to have some sweet dreams about John Legend tonight. hehe *sigh*

Miss Me Yet?

Whew, its been a crazy week...and its only Tuesday. How will I keep up with it all!? I feel as though I haven't slept well for days. In fact, it is now 11:30 and I have yet to get to bed. I have so many thoughts and ideas floating around in my head. I'm devising my plans to execute it. Now if I can just find the time...

Work has been busy as well. I'm trying not to over work and keep myself sane. Part of the stress is finding enough work for everyone. I learning to let go of some of things I do and pass it on to everyone else. It's hard. I'm trying.

Another reason why work is so stressful is because of my arch nemesis. Luckily I don't have to deal with this person too much...but hearing my boss and him go at it both stresses me out and amuses me at the same time.

Enough about work. On to the fun stuff. I created some masquerade masks for my mom and dad. I will be showing those on the craft blog one of these days, so look out for those. I also recently completed an online minibook class that has gotten me so inspired. I'll be showing that on the craft blog as well. I'm really hoping to get that back up and running soon.

In random news. I've been thinking about him lately. I'm pretty sure he doesn't think of me at all.

So Long Summer

Its already the beginning of September...and the end of Summer 2010 WOW. Time flies. Here are the highlights:
  1. Drivers licensed renewed! My picture didn't turn out as bad as I thought. hehe.
  2. I turned the big 3-0 and had a couple of small celebrations with friends and family.
  3. OC Fair and an Adam Lambert Concert. That marked 2 things off my 30 while 30 list. 
  4. I watched a special pre-screening of Step Up 3D. I didn't love it as much as the first and second one, but it still made me want to take a few dance classes. hehe
  5. We successfully survived another busy season at work. Now we are in "how are we going to stay busy now??" mode. 
  6. August was the beginning of serious diet mode.
  7. Sammie and Bhoo were put in a kennel for the first time. 3 days. I missed them so. 
  8. I saw several movies at the dollar theater, as well as a classic movie at a cemetery...All About Eve at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery to be exact. So. Much. Fun. SO LA!
  9. I finally brought my car in to have that funny shakey brakey business looked at. Sadie is all better now.
  10. I managed to completely cut out caffeine out of my life and water has become my new best friend.
  11. My season tickets to the USC football games arrived. WooHoo.
  12. I'm taking the steps and making a plan and stepping forward even if it looks like I'm stepping back.
Even though summer is over, I still have the fantastic Southern California weather...and music like this:

Sunday, August 29, 2010

mhmm.

Something is up. I know it. I can feel it. She's not helping.

I feel like he's buttering her up for something...I'm going to lose out.

I always lose when it comes to them. 

Lazy Sunday Afternoon.

I'm spending a lazy Sunday afternoon at my parents house. The pups are taking an afternoon nap (Sammie is in his crate and Bhoo is lounging on their big pillow next to the slider). My brother is in the living room watching the "world premier" of Turtle Forever on Nick. He's 21 years old. I have never seen someone so excited. hehe.

Its times like this that makes me wonder if I could move back here while I look for my next place. It seems okay now, but I'm only here 1/3 of the time. The rest of the time is at work or at my house. It wouldn't be so bad so long as I do move out eventually. The last thing I want is to be stuck.

So here is my plan...Be bought out and move out as soon as possible. I would prefer the end of September, but we will still need to have that discussion. My furniture will go into storage, and I will move to my parents house for a few months while I get myself in a better position to be pre-approved. My current financial situation is not so great. I can continue to look and hopefully find something for me and Bhoo.

I have a feeling the best deals will be outside the city I currently live and work at. I could move outside, but this is my comfort zone. Then again, maybe its time for a bigger change. *sigh* Once again, I have no idea what to do...

Weekly Randoms

  1. First week driving myself and I called in sick on Monday, barely managed to make it in by 8:15-8:30 the following days, and arrived in work at 9 am on Friday. So much for me keeping the 7:30 to 4:30 schedule. LOL. 
  2. I've been commissioned to make a couple of masquerade masks. I'm super excited and will be buying the supplies shortly.
  3. I feel like the pest patrol and light monitors are being excessive lately. Maybe its because I'm home more. 
  4. On Friday I went out to eat at Avilas for the first time in months. I ordered the baja bowl. I was sooo good about controlling my portion and eating slow. I have left overs that should last me the weekend.
  5. Plans for the Homecoming Game have been hashed out. We will be tailgating, which means I will be able to knock another thing off my 30 while 30 list!
  6. The faceless man keeps haunting (er..or should I say taunting) me in my dreams. WHERE ARE YOU ALREADY!?! Do I know you? It's getting out of control. 
  7. You know what is irritating? Couples who baby-talk in public. Please shoot me if I ever do that.

...

I've been having these dreams. He is in them. He seems to always be in them. I can't tell if its a wish, or if its a premonition or if it am seeing something that really is there in my subconscious, but not seeing it fully in reality....and that drives me nuts.

I'm not ready to deal with it...but then its long over due...but then I'm scared...but then I'm over it...or maybe not.

This shouldn't be so hard. Although, I'm suspicious when its too easy.

Someone stop these thoughts in my head.

Thank You.

Weekly Randoms

Wow. Its been a while since I've blogged anything. It's not because I'm have nothing to blog about. I have TONS. I've been doing a lot of changing and re-arranging. Life is good, and getting better.

On to my Weekly Randoms:
  1. I carpooled with my sister into work this week. She works 7:30a - 4:30p, while I normally worked 8:30a - 5:30p. I'm really liking the earlier schedule, so I think I will keep it up for as long as I can. :D
  2. I've been on a special diet for the past 3 weeks and have lost! They say it takes 6 weeks for something to become a routine. I'm half way there! I plan on sticking to this diet for the rest of my life...how do I know this? Yesterday I cheated a little bit and suffered the consequences last night.
  3. My two recipe books are tagged for all the low fat/calorie dishes that I want to try. For the past week or so I've had this incredible urge to cook. Not necessarily eat it (see above for reason why), but to cook it. 
  4. Yesterday I saw "Get Him to the Greek" at the dollar theater. hehe funny movie.
  5. I don't understand the whole spitting in the kitchen sink thing that some boys do. Its the kitchen sink, I wash my dishes there. In fact, sometimes my dishes are in there and sometimes you are washing dishes while you spit in there. WHY? It seems to be normal to some people...am I weird for thinking this is gross?
  6. I'm excited about the fall. It means the end of the busy season at work. It means football and tailgating. It means cooler weather. It means holidays are right around the corner!
  7. I want to enroll in an online class. This one looks like it might be fun.

OC Fair Fun

With our ticket stubs from the Adam Lambert Concert, Xtine and I headed back to the O.C. Fair for our fried food extravaganza. I had every intention of getting a corn dog, some dippin dots, funnel cake, ice cream, chocolate covered bacon, and a deep friend something rather....but as it turned out, we ended up just doing the following....and believe me, it was PLENTY.

First up, the zucchini nachos. yummy, cheesy, and oh so fried greasy...


We walked the entire fair and took some pictures. No way was I going to ride any of the rides. I stopped riding fair ride a looooooong time ago.

After exploring the fair, we headed back to where we saw the Mexican Funnel Cake. OMG. It was a churro style funnel cake with strawberries on top. wow. It was HUGE and part way through we had to take a break.


We were seated behind one of the stages where a hypnotist was putting on a show. We decided to check out the show and man, was I glad we did. I never laughed and screamed so loudly. My throat is still hurting from all the crazy things the was having people do.

At some point I will post some of the pictures from the fair. It was fun! and this concludes item #22 on the 30 while 30 list.

Glam Nation Tour

On Tuesday I went to the Pacific Amphitheater and saw Adam Lambert in concert. Woohoo! it was a great show. Allison Iraheta was up first. Wow did she look good. Oriathi was up next with her crazy guitar skills. Man. Followed by the one, the only, Adam Lambert in all his glitteriness. The boy can strut his stuff..and it was HOT. lol.

Pictures will be up as soon as I can get them off of my brother's point and shoot camera. (I really need to get one of my own)

This completes item #1 of my 30 while 30 list. This weekend I will be working on the mini book pages. heeeeeeeeeee.

Sometimes I wonder...

...it's really going to work.
...if they realize that I don't know as much as I seem to know.
...what my dog, Bhoo, is thinking when he's staring at me.
...if there is more than this.
...how I am going to do it.
...where he is and when I am going to meet him.
...if my parents' dog, Sammie, really understands what I'm doing when he stares at the computer screen while I'm typing.
...if he sees me...and I mean really sees me...and also sees what I see.
...if I can really do it.
...when I am going to stop feeling restless.
...how I'm going to afford my own home.
...why there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.

    Movie Weekend

    I saw several movies this weekend.

    First up... Remember Me. Xtine stopped by the Red Box and picked up a copy on her way over. Oh my goodness. This movie was nothing like I had expected. I will admit that there were several times when I was a little bit misty eyed, but I did not cry. The sad and heavy feeling that I felt in the end did stick with me for a while. 



    I was in need of something happy and silly and teen-y to get my mind off of Remember Me. Flipping through the channels we came across 17 Again. This was a cute movie! I'm totally crushing on Zac Efron...is that wrong/bad? After watching this movie, I wonders how my high school life (or even my college life) would have been different had I used my cellphone as regularly as I do now.



    Today I went to the dollar theater with Xtine and Olivia and saw Letters to Juliet. It was a cute movie. Everything was pretty predictable, there were so surprise twists or anything like that. Overall I like it. It makes me want to hop on a plane and travel to Italy and just write...er...blog...about my adventures. hehe

    I Just Haven't Met You Yet....

    I have a recurring character in my dreams...The One. All I know about him is that he's tall, broad shouldered, strong, brunette, with a smile that makes my knees weak. I don't know anything else about him other than that he is MINE. ...he has no name, has no face...but it's him. Sometimes he's back lit and all I see is a silhouette of this man. Sometimes he's so far away that I can't make out his features exactly. Sometimes he's so tall that all I can see is his perfectly crooked smile beaming down at me. *sigh*

    Last night he visited me in my dreams. I was dreaming that I was at work and exhausted and fighting a losing battle the robot copy machine. Out of no where he appears and sees me frustrated, wanting to give up and just sleep. He begins kissing me all over my face and over each eye lid as I stand there half asleep. Instantly I am wide awake and totally rejuvenated.

    I look over at my alarm clock and see that it was 5:30 AM. I was wide awake ready to start my day. What an awesome way to wake up in the mornings! If only that could be real...one day I WILL see you and I will know you....and you will wake me up that way...one day....

    Friday Randoms

    Today was a wonderfully weird day. It's been a while since I've done some Friday randoms...so here goes!
    1. I had some medical tests done that involved me drinking this chalky barium drink. It wasn't as yucky as the technician had described. I didn't love it, but it did taste better than some of those whey protein shakes I've tried.
    2. I hate going to the doctors and having various medical testing done. I hate peeing in a cup. I hate having my blood drawn. I hate having an EKG done only because it takes so freakin long to put all the little sticky things on for a 2 second test and then its a pain to peel them all off. I hate funky x-rays that involve me laying on my stomach with my left leg crossed over my right leg, right arm down at my side, my left arm propping my left side slightly upwards and my head facing the left while drinking the barium continuously through a straw.
    3. I was weirdly comforted by the technician being a goofball and brushing my hair out of my face and patting my back telling me its okay...and then fake crying when it was all over...and then telling me not to be alarmed if my poop is white the next time I go. He was nice.
    4. Pete Carroll smiled at me. ME! Okay so maybe he was smiling at me because I was taking a picture of my friend Xtine while she was getting her book signed by him at his book signing. Still...I was so close to him..and he smiled! 
    5. Just to clarify. Yes, I do want Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat played at my wedding. No, I do not want Lucky by Britney Spears played at my wedding. Yes, I know I'm nowhere near getting engage and having a wedding. Relax. Pete Carroll smiled at me!
    6. Cheesecake Factory has the best Avocado Egg Rolls ever. EV-ER.
    7. It's amazing how much I love USC. If USC were a person, I would marry him...and we would dance to Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat....and we would have a dog named Essie and a pet mini-horse named LT (for Little Traveler). Our last name would be "of Troy" and our kids would be named Helen and Spirit.
    Yes. Today was a good day. This weekend is going to be FANTASTIC!

    Purge is the Word

    This long weekend I did some much needed purging on multiple levels:

    Clothes: I went through my dresser and closet and threw away all the clothes with holes and stains (well all except my go-to "painting" outfit"). Anything that I did not want and is still in good condition was put in a bag to be delivered to my parents house for a balikbayan box. :)

    Under the sink: The next area to be tackled was the bathroom sink and medicine cabinet. I went through and tossed out all the lotions and hair products that were old or haven't been used in a while. There were things in there that I haven't used since before I moved in 2 years ago!

    Church: Typically I would go to church with my brother and we would sit in or right outside the cafe. It's nice, and we still hear God's word, but its different. This weekend I went to church alone and sat inside the worship center. It's been a while and it was nice to sit and really focus on what was being said. It's amazing how in such a HUGE auditorium, you can still feel like you are connecting with the entire church experience.

    Work: I was able to take one extra day to decompress and NOT think about the work/boss situation. It was a nice break and I was able to go through and let go of a lot of work related things.

    Crafting: While I didn't throw any of my craft stuff out, I was able to organize many of the things I have. I was also able to work on my quilt quite a bit too, which was very relaxing and took my mind off of the above. :)

    I love long weekends. It was a much needed break to prepare me for what will be coming up the next few months. A lot of change is happening. I need to prepare myself for the challenges and yet not dwell on those things that I have no control over. The next two months will be a major test on my abilities to balance work, home, and personal life. (I WILL HAVE A PERSONAL LIFE!!)

    Tired.

    A bit of background: I've been frustrated about things for the past...oh I don't know...since high school. I have a very specific role in this family...one that I have a hard time getting away from. I had a semi-reprieve from most of it when I went away to school at USC, but thinking back I never really separated myself from it...I just continue to carry it around with me where ever I go. When I graduated school in 2002, I moved back home and right back into that same old familiarity of it all.

    Which brings me to the following blog post. On Friday I was at work, struggling to control the worst case work scenarios that keep wanting to replay in my head (a whole other story that I might get into sometime...), when I received a phone call:

    Me: Hello?
    Dad: This is Dad.
    Me: Hi Dad.
    Dad: Can you ask Mom if we are going to bible study tonight?
    Me: uh. Okay. Did you call her?
    Dad: Yes. She's not answering. Can you just ask her when you go there for lunch?
    Me: I don't know if I'm going there for lunch.
    Dad: Just ask her when you go.
    Me: ...but I don't know if I'm going...
    Dad: Just ask her if we are going to bible study today when you go. Thanks.

    Now. It doesn't seem like it's a big deal, right? It really isn't and it really shouldn't be...but that conversation is pretty indicative of my life as a human telephone. First of all, my mom is very bad with "the cellphone". Secondly, I don't live with my parents. I have my own half of a house 5-6 miles south of them. Thirdly, they always assume I will be there, always, forever, doing things for them.

    Out of frustration I started writing this on my Blackberry while at work:

    I'm tired of this life....if you can call it a life. I tired of doing what is expected of me. I'm tired of being the "responsible" one and the "dependable" one, mostly because it really means I'm the "single and not doing anything of real importance so she can drop everything and cater to the needs of others" one. I'm tired of feeling like I don't have a voice, I don't have an opinion, I don't have a choice. I'm tired of the guilt that comes along whenever I say no or disagree with someone else. I'm tired of feeling trapped and tied down by obligation, responsibility, expectation, circumstance, and predictability. I'm tired of being defined by it. I'm tired of the thought that if I didn't have this role in life, then I wouldn't know what to do with myself, I wouldn't know how to describe myself, I wouldn't know how to be me. I'm tired of wanting a different life. I'm tired of being scared. I'm tired of worrying. I'm tired of playing it safe. I'm tired of mindless following. I'm tired of wanting out, whining about it, and then not doing anything about it.
    So what am I going to do about it? I keep waiting for something to happen...for that big external life changing force to come along and turn my world upside down. I know now that that force has to come FROM me, and I can't be waiting for it to happen. I have to make it happen for myself.

    Here is me, trying to make it happen. I know I say it a lot...but this time I mean it...I think...

    Eclipse

    I saw my second release day movie of the year! That's right people! I saw Eclipse! I loved it. It is by far my favorite of the series so far. :)

    Summertime.

    Up until about 8 years ago summer meant this:
    • Longer days of fun in the sun.
    • No school
    • Vacations
    • Sleeping in
    • The beach, bonfires, the pool
    • Getting a tan without even trying
    • No responsibilities and no expectations
    Now summer means this:
    • Longer work days
    • No breaks
    • Council Meetings
    • Waking up earlier to get into work earlier
    • Databases, Engineers Reports, Submittals
    • Being the palest Filipino EVER
    • Deadlines
    I miss the happy feeling that would wash over me whenever I would hear the words "Summertime"...it used to be followed by "...and the livin's easy..."...but now its followed by "what's that??"

    Welcome to the crazy world of assessment engineering. I will be here all summer.

    WORD.

    Can't Sleep....

    I wish I knew how to shut my brain off and just go to sleep! ARGH.

    Instead I'm thinking on overdrive, I have a headache, and I'm taking Photo Booth pictures. Here is my favorite of the evening...err morning...



    I like to think of this as my broody emo vampire look.

    Okay...I'm going try for the 5,278th time to fall asleep. NITE

    ...maybe.

    Out sick...

    In two hours I will have officially been out sick from work for a full week. Well...almost a full week. There have been a couple of days here and there where I attempted to work but could not make it. I know what you're going to say, what was the point in that?

    The point is, I am a work-a-holic. The whole reason why I got sick in the first place was because I had been overworking myself to the point of sickness. My body is telling me to stop, slow down, and relax. So much so, that not only is this cough/cold/flu/whooping cough/pneumonia kicking my butt, but the medication that I'm taking is too.

    I don't want to be thinking about work and all the stuff that needs to be done that I'm not there to do, but I can't seem to turn that part of me off. I'm crazy, huh?

    SATC2

    On Thursday I went to see SATC2 with my girls. WOW. It was the OC Social Event of the YEAR! The theater was packed with women and a few sprinkling of men. At first, I thought it was weird that people would get dressed up for this movie. After talking to my co-workers at lunch, it didn't seem so odd. People dressed up to see the Dark Knight, Harry Potter and Star Wars films....why should SATC be any different.

    I loved the first one and hoped that the second would be the same or better. Overall the movie was entertaining, but something about it wasn't the same. It was definitely missing something from the series and the storyline seems kind of over the top, even for them.

    My mind on overdrive

    I can't sleep.
    Too much thinking.
    Work.
    Too much worrying.
    Sickness.
    Too much over-analyzing.
    What if?

    I'm worried and scared for her.
    I can't even begin to imagine what is going on in her mind.
    I hope she's going to be okay.

    What does it mean?
    How am I going to step up?
    Will I even be able to?
    For how long?


    I want to cry, but I can't.
    Instead I sit up worrying, and thinking, and over analyzing.

    Good Morning?

    It's now 3:17 AM on Monday morning and I just finished 4 hours of work here at home...I'm not even a little bit tired at the moment. I should sleep...but I feel like catching up on my Google Reader and watching old Movies and working on my quilt.

    Is this what happens when you become and Associate? You start having crazy work hours that include the weekends??

    My alarm clock is going to go off in 3.5 hours. Lets see how long I make it tomorrow...err..I mean later on today. =X

    Random Loves...

    University of Southern California - so much so that I visit the campus semi-regularly and often daydream of what could should have been. I also daydream about the day that I return for my Masters (I just need to figure out in what to get my Masters in...oh yeah and how I'm going to pay for tuition...)

    John Legend - his voice makes my knees go weak. *sigh*

    Kefir - okay not so much, but I've made a commitment to myself that I would eat healthier and have breakfast every morning. So every morning this week I've been drinking 8 oz of kefir....and I'm finding myself much more...regular...which is good, right?

    Game Day - I can't wait for the season to start. GO TROJANS!

    Vegas Baby - so far I have only been once this year. This is very different from previous years when I would go 4-5 times a year. One of my goals is to get myself a vacation condo out there....maybe after I get myself my own condo here...

    Craft/Scrapbooking Supplies - It's an addiction. I love buying stuff, but I never use them. I'm becoming a supply hoarder. Its bad. I need help.

    Covers and Mash-ups - This one is especially crazy. LOVE IT.

    An Important Message

    It was Tuesday afternoon and I was sitting at my desk desperately trying to stay awake while I chug away at my work. My phone rings AGAIN. Ugh. What does the Developer want NOW?! I think as I prepare for my happy work phone voice. It went a little something like this....

    ----------------------

    "Hi. This is Anna." trying to sound as upbeat and awake as possible.

    "Hi, Anna. This is [insert Company President's name here]. I have a confidential matter that I need to discuss with you. Is there a conference room or somewhere that we can discuss this in private?"

    gulp. "Uh..sure..um...someone is in the conference room now, but I can just shut the door of my office.."
    omgomgomgomg. "Okay the door is shut."

    "Great. So I have here [insert head of HR's name here] and [insert CFO here] on the phone." oh gawd. I'm going to throw up. *closes meebo on the computer* "..and we are here to tell you that..." *squints* oh gawd..... "We have decided to make you an Associate!"

    *gasp* "REAALY??!?" mental squeal "Thank You!!" OOOOOH Ah-MY GAAAAAWD!!!!


    -------------------

    And that is how I found out that I am now an Associate!!! *happy dance*

    Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

    One of our wonderful, glorious afternoons in Vegas was spent at the Bellagio Conservatory. I love seeing what they come up with each season. I think this visit is one of my favorites. The Garden smelled heavenly.

    Life's Truths for Adults

    I received this email the other day with a list of "Life's Truths for Adults". Its all so hilariously true. hehe.

    Life’s Truths for Adults
    1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

    2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

    3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

    4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

    5. Really, how ARE you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

    6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

    7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

    8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

    9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

    10. Bad decisions make good stories.

    11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

    12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

    13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

    14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

    15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Crap!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

    16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

    17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

    18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

    19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers . I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

    20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

    21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

    22. I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

    23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

    24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

    25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

    26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

    27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

    28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

    29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

    30. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

    31. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'll bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

    Seeking.

    Saturday, April 17, 2010

    hi.

    Okay so I haven't been really good at blogging anywhere lately. EEKS. Anywho. Here is some randomness (some good and some bad) from the past month or so:


    I've almost totally abandoned my Project 365. Somewhere mid March I got a little distracted and ended up not taking pictures daily. I also never did post the pictures from February. oops. Eventually I will get back into it...I will probably stop journaling about every picture.

    The project that I'm working on just got a HUGE contract renewal. Yay for me! I have work!

    I find it annoying when a person is so easily offended, but talks down to people in an offensive manner. My boss tells me not to take it personally because it seems like that's just how he talks to everyone. Great. (I will stop now before I get into raving lunatic mode)

    I made these super-awesome Cupcake Sliders (a la bakerella.com) for my brother's birthday. They turned out super-cute and tasty too!

    Some fun stuff from Papertrey Ink is making its way to my house. YAY!! I can't wait to play!

    I'm working on getting approval for something. If it gets approved, it will be a definite life changer. I will fill you in on that as soon as I get the confirmation.


    There are moments when I find myself on YouTube watching video after video for hours on end. Its such a time suck, but I love it.

    Kinda, kinda, you know.

    Hi all. It's been a while, yes. I've been kinda busy, kinda workaholic, kinda moody, kinda uninspired, kinda stressed, and kinda feeling emo...hence the minor disconnect both here and my craft blog. So I find myself with a few moments to drop a bit of randomness in hopes of re-jumpstarting the blogging. I am currently at my parents house, so no new creativeness tonight, but I will be posting more Project  365 pictures and some projects I've worked on the past month or so soon...I hope.

    Until then, here are seven randoms:
    1. I really, really, really want to run away to Vegas for a couple of days months. Yeah, it was one of those kinda days.
    2. Four days ago I took the pups to their snip snip appointment. The first couple of days were rough for them and I wondered if the procedure totally altered their personalities. I'm happy to report that they're back...just slightly impaired by their cones. It's very comical really.
    3. I kinda want an iPhone. Everyone else has one! Why can't I??
    4. Its hard to be the oldest. Its also hard to be the Ate. Sometimes I wonder if this role is the traditional part of being the eldest girl in a Filipino family, or if its just me.
    5. "There's a somebody I'm longing to see...I hope that he...turns out to be...someone to watch over me"
    6. This face...makes me what to go out and buy him a car full of little cars.
    7. Reading this makes me hungry.

    Happiness is..

    working internet! OMG. I thought I was going to disappear and be forgotten! Our internet has been down since Saturday morning. It was horrible. I almost cried a little..Even my phone was out of service. Since the reception is pretty crappy here at my house, I use wifi to get my calls and such. It was pretty spotty..but all is better in the world and our internet is back up and running even faster than it had been before. WOOHOO!

    So now I am working on the second week of my 365 project. You can see all of them on my craft blog here: Project 365

    As for the other 10 in 2010, I will have to update you on all that some other time. I am trying to be in bed no later than Midnight. I know that's still late...but its a lot earlier than before. Baby steps. :)

    10 in 2010

    HELLO NEW YEAR! I can't believe it's 2010 already. Its going to be a good year. I can feel it already! I'm horrible with New Year's Resolutions, so much so that the past few years I have not been setting any...So this year I have decided to pick 10 words to focus on this year. Many of these things are intertwined. So here we go:


    BALANCE. I work too much, I don't sleep enough, I always feel like screaming "THERE'S NO TIME!". I need balance, balance between work/home/crafts/personal life/self. I want to be an accomplished well rounded person instead of a work-a-holic. I want to find time to actually DO and COMPLETE things. I want to spend as much time doing fun stuff as I do work

    CREATE. I want to do something creative everyday (a la PaperSource..hehe). I find that I am a happier person if I take time to work my creative muscles every now and then. Its a nice break from work (which I do entire too much of these days).  

    DOCUMENT. Whether is journaling, blogging, photographing, scrapbooking, etc. I want to document the happenings in my life. Some of the projects that I'm contemplating are Project 365, a scrapbook journal, or a couple of mini books...or maybe all three :)

    GROWTH. I have been struggling with my lack of spiritual growth for a while. I've lost that focus, that drive, that faith. It's not about God, or my faith in Him, because that remains. I struggle with the idea of Church and congregations. I'm tired of the outside dramas and the hypocrisies that I had been witnessed to the past couple of years. I felt let down by a church and a group of people in the past, and I guess I haven't been able to move past that. I hope to find that spiritual peace and grow from there.

    LOVE. You'd think I've given up on it by now, but one day He will send me someone, and that someone will be great. Is it going to be this year? Only He knows. Until then I will be sending that love out so that when he does come along, I will be ready...and if He doesn't send him to me, that's okay too because I will be filled with His love, which is the greatest of them all. 

    ME. I have a tendency to get caught up in other people that I forget to take care of myself. I have also been known to forget to eat, not sleep enough, or get sick because I have forgotten about myself. So hopefully I will remember to take care of myself better this year.

    MOVE. Long story short. My gym membership was canceled halfway through last year. It shows. I should be exercising on my own, walking more, stretching, even using the little gym by the pool. My motto should be "I like to MOVE IT MOVE IT".

    ORGANIZATION. I am the dork who loves to organize. Unfortunately, I get so caught up in the process of organizing - the various type of systems, labels, color coding - that my organization methodologies keep changing and everything ends up "in progress". This year I hope to really focus on the completion part of organization. I want to set up a system and stick to it for a little while. This is for work, home, and crafting.

    PUNCTUALITY. I can meet a deadline like no one's business..but as far as me physically being where I need to be at the specified time is nearing impossible for me. I don't know why! This is especially true for my work hours. I am supposed to be in at 8:30 am (which was an adjustment from the normal 8 am punch-in time). The past few months I've been averaging about 8:45...and if I don't get my act together it will soon fall to 9 am...which will really annoy my Boss-lady even more. So I will work on being more punctual..and maybe, just maybe...I will be back on the 8-5 schedule...or even the 7-4 schedule....(okay I won't push it...)

    SLEEP. I used to say that I wouldn't sleep enough, but I would nap often. This is no longer the case. Lately I just haven't been sleeping enough. period. On average it has been about 4-5 hours a night. This is causing me to function a lot slower than normal and overall I'm a mess. Sleep is good. Sleep is my friend. Sleep is when I can dream. I love dreams. So I will focus on sleeping 7-8 hours every night.

    I hope to document my progress on my blogs (Randomness is Me & Corina T) on a regular basis. Blogging, after all, is part of my 10 in 2010.
