I have decided that LiveJournal just ain't what it used to be.

Damn you MySpace. Damn you.

So I'm going to a wedding in about two weeks... October 7th, to be exact. They're friends of the guy I've been dating for about a month now (yes, I'll make sure I'll update those of you who care lol). Anyway, I've hung out with them a few times and I was actually a little surprised they liked me enough to ask Nate to bring me to the wedding as his date. So now, I've been stressing over what to wear. It's not so much a big deal as I'm making it but it's 1) the first wedding I've been to where I'm NOT going to be a flower girl, lol and 2) I sort of want to make a good impression on his friends since they've been around for mostly all his life.

... and keep in mind, it's an evening wedding...

#1

I'm not in love with this dress but I figured it would be a good back-up dress to have, just in case. I like the sheer black/tan combo but at the same time, it's sort of a plain black dress to me.

#2

Since I've been obsessed with polka dots lately, I thought this was really cute and the taffeta at the bottom sealed the deal for me. I'm a little hesitant about the red though.

#3

Again, I'm not totally in love with dress but the red sash sold me and I immediately wanted to throw a pair of red pumps in the mix.

#4

This is the dress I totally wanted. I found it in the store, tried it on and everything looked awesome. Only problem was, the color. I know it's inappropriate to wear white to someone elses' wedding but this is actually a soft beige/tan. Is it still okay to wear, even to an evening wedding/reception?

So yeah. Let me know, women ;) I'll probably find something else before the end of the week, but since it's next next Saturday, time is cutting pretty close. Thanksya!

wow. I've totally abandoned this journal. i miss lj though; myspace has taken over my life haha. i'll have something up and running soon enough. all you need to know is...

* after three years, i've up and left a miserable situation. i'm happier than ever before. three months and going strong. i haven't looked back since.

* my mini-me is doing wonderful. he's a little over two and a half now, talking in complete sentences and wooing the world around him. what else is new? oh yeah, he tells me "mommy pretty!" every single day and that alone makes me believe it :)

* job is steady; income's right. i have a love/hate relationship with my boss; the other office manager who i used to hate has become one of my very good friends. she's actually the reason why i'm still there.

* haven't moved out of my mom's house-- yet. the plans have switched up a little bit. more on that later :) i like being a mooch; only $100 for rent? hell yeah.

...and that's pretty much about it. for now anyway. soon as i find the time to stop and breath, i'll update more. lovepeace&chkkngrease.

dear idiot who tried to hack into my photobucket account,

please get a life. seriously. if i wanted you to see my pictures, you would see them. and if you are the person i think you are, please step away from the computer and chug your zoloft. there is more to life than being a nosy, obsessive witch, hacking into everyone's stuff.

love always,
angie!

XMEN3 = TEH SHIZ.

i was sort of reluctant to see it last night but i'm glad i did. i've been geeking out over it since. i used to watch the cartoons when i was little and was obsessed with it for a while. i feel like the biggest dork lol.

anyway, go see it. fuck the bad reviews. it should have been longer but whatev. and i was sad to hear that there was an extra scene after the credits -- i didn't stay long enough to see that. my bladder would have seriously combusted if i stayed in that seat a few seconds more.

okay, srsly. im done being a nerd. back to work.

and yeah, it IS memorial day and i AM working. the fuckin parking lot is deserted; i'm the only one here. time and a half, bitches -- time and a half!

i finally shuffled out of hobo-mode last night and hit the gym. because it's open twentyfour hours, bobby and i decided to go around ten to work off a horrible meatloaf dinner. unfortunately, i was exhausted from a loooong day to do much else besides cycle, benchpress and of course, run an obligatory twenty minutes on the treadmill. i had to quit after fifteen after my wonderfully uncoordinated feet caused me to trip and almost wipe out the entire second floor. dead sexy.

i'm trying to pave the golden road to a glorious new healthy lifestyle and it sucks mucho. besides the grande caramel machiatto and slice of banana bread i greedily gobbled down this morning on my way to work, i'm cutting out alllll sweets, sodas, and fried food--

pffft. right. tell that to the kids at five guys b&f who see me at the counter every other weekend surreptitiously ordering a regular bacon cheeseburger with mushrooms, with small fries and raspberry sweet tea please, kthx.

-- so anyway. i have severe body image issues even during the pre-robbieous era when i weighed a buck-fifteen. twenty five pounds later, i've peaked to my heaviest and that shit is not cool. i think i have a pretty good sense of humor about it but at the same time, i'm no longer comfortable in my skin. or rolls. shut up.

with that said...beach trip tomorrow! lol

You know you've arrived in the Philippines when that hot humid blast of air hits you in the face as you walk out the aircraft onto the jetway. But it is when you ride or drive on Manila's roads during daytime that it's impact really hits you. Grime is everywhere. It's as if a patina of gray-brown soot had been sprayed over all of Manila. Buildings look dirty, trees look dirty, street and business signage looks dirty. For many visiting Filipinos, it is both an embarrassment as well as a cause for concern. A far cry indeed from gleaming buildings back-dropped by the clear blue sky of the foreign countries they reside in.

well damn. i enjoy the humidity and grime. it's the only way i know i'm home 0_o

i turn into the biggest fuckin groupie everytime this man comes on american idol. ha.

i hate watching pet sematary 'cause it tears me up when the little boy gets hit, and later when he gets stuck with the IV.

yeah. leave it up to me to cry at scary movies.

Mon, 13 Mar 2006 05:48:11 GMT

okay hi :)

so i haven't been updating ~~lately~~ as usual. livejournal is slowly becoming dead and i feel like i'm using my myspace *shudders* more than my lj. damn you myspace, damn you!

i finally convinced boobz parsmelly (aka bobby) to venture out into the world of weight loss and join a gym with me. we've both gotten fat and it's not cute. i'm talking eff-ayy-tee FAT. maybe we'll get lucky and by the time june rolls around (haha, get it? rolls!), we'll be all sexy again like we were in high school. mhm. right.

i tried bleaching out my hair yesterday, in a pathetic attempt to make it look like this. and ummm no. after doing an initial strand test and seeing that it didn't go as light as i wanted, i thought what the hell, i'll go through with it anyway. so i sat in my bathroom, tin foil wrapped around my bangs, dreaming of how supercute my hair would be. after an hour, i finally took the foil off and OMFG-- guess who looked like hell hath run a bleached fury? my crusty ass bangs. it was so awful-- my roots were platinum blonde and the rest looked like orange gatorade pee. luckily, i didn't have to go out in public with that shit and quickly dyed over it before you could say "damn, she fucked up". never again. never again.

you gotta love my misguided mishaps on trying to be a supercool, superbored asian. gotdammit.

so anyway, i'll be switching usernames soon enough seeing as how my sister AND boobz know now the secret-not-so-secret location of my journal. thanks dicks.

happy monday folks. let's hope this week goes by fast.

so, bobby, robbie and i were sitting on the stairs, hanging out, and playing. suddenly, robbie -- being in his [almost] terrible twos -- takes his big clumpy light-up sketcher and WACKS bobby upside the head with it.

now most kids would either laugh or run away. but what does my son do?

he gets up in bobby's face and sings

"nananana boo boo!".

my kid's three favorite songs:

gasolina - daddy yankee
unbreakable - alicia keys
shake - ying yang twins & pitbull (edited, of course)

whatever happened to barney?

we're definitely some kind of twisted, haha.

(ps- if i have to listen to gasolina one more time, my head's gonna fuckin explode)

i'll never get around to updating. it's the twelveth day of the new year and i'm already dragging my feet. but who likes update lists? i like update lists :)

* my trip to new york was good to me. there's nothing like spending two drunken days with two of your best friends in the world. never again will i chug coke and rum, take a shot of vodka, then chase it down with two cran-orange vodkas. NEVER AGAIN. lightweight.

* christmas was also good to me. new years sucked. as i mentioned before, i had strep throat and slept right through the countdown only to wake up the next day still sore and drugged up.

* i have a ~~secret~~ crush on a guy i work with. i feel fourteen years old all over again saying i have a crush on this guy. he's twenty-eight. and pretty hot. and extremely sarcastic, but in a funny way. we're always ragging on each other, so he complains that i'm always mean to him. i tell him that he keeps coming back anyway. he says it's because he likes it and i trip over my own two feet cause i'm trying so hard to be cute and cool, i don't notice that my heel's caught in the carpet.

* my job is driving me crazy, yet i love every single minute i'm here. it's always fun to hear about these bad ass kids and the headaches they give their therapists; although it does make me a little paranoid about robbie and how he'll turn out when he gets that age.

* angelina jolie and brad pitt are having a baby? bah. i'm so disappointed in her. i don't usually keep up with all the little celebrity scandels but that one kinda stuck out. i've always admired miss jolie, not only because she's gorgeous but also because she was raising two (well...one at that time) kids on her own, didn't feel the need to get married and was independent as can be. now she's gone and married brad pitt, of all people? nuff said.

* does anyone have a ~~license~~ serial code for adobe photoshop i can borrow? i can't find the piece of paper i wrote the number on and i desperately need photoshop for my color theory class. bettyrock@gmail.com and i'll worship you forever.

back to work.

Happy First Day of 2006!

i spent my new years with strep throat and a bottle of tylenol. isn't that grand?

will update with more later-- i need to rest up a little bit.

Wed, 07 Dec 2005 05:34:03 GMT

my face burns and smells like coconuts. it's driving me crazy.

i couldn't find my regular facial exfoliant so -- like a dumbass -- i used the body scrub that had been sitting in my bathroom drawer since april.

-silence-

point and laugh all you want. we won't go there tonight.

so i'm extreeemely hyped for this weekend. after months and months of dead end promises, i finally got the balls to book tickets for NEW YORK! this is my first time ever and i'm super excited. i just want to shop and walk around the city, camera glued to hand like your typical asian tourist. i know i'm probably all geeked out over nothing huge but come on. when you're a mommy, you hardly get to do things YOU want. this time, i'm leaving the kiddie at home (although he will be sorely missed), and i'm gonna party it up with my two best friends along with some of new york's finest.

i even bought a new pair of boots to walk around in. god forbid, i fell into that trap of faddy snowboots. but in my defense, these were so ugly, they were cute! and for $30 at deb? hell muddafockinyes! funny story: the first time robbie saw them, his eyes lit up as he sat down next to the boots, started petting them and screaming "doggy! doggy!" the entire time. my kid's a genius. them shits do look like the back of chewbacca's neck.

hair appointment on thursday. i can't grow this shit out-- it's horrible. even my supervisor noticed how f.u.g it had gotten -- isn't that sad? off to bed for now; maybe tomorrow won't be as nasty with all the snow and slush on the roads. and maybe bad drivers like me will have a chance in hell to actually SEE the road in the morning.

Sun, 27 Nov 2005 21:56:01 GMT

there's nothing better than a big tall glass of parrot bay/sprite/hypnotiq.

except maybe chugging it all down while hamming it up with your best friends.

AWESOME.

Sun, 20 Nov 2005 22:01:45 GMT

holy shits and giggles-- looks who's twenty one!

i've been talking about turning the big two-one for a while now and it didn't sink in until now. sometimes, i seriously believe i'm still seventeen and that when i wake up the next day, i'm going to be going into class and doing my senior year of high school all over again.

of course, that's not the case, thank god. another year of high school drama? i don't think i could have taken it.

i didn't party up this weekend like i originally planned. that'll be done next week when my girlies are in town. i got another hole punched in my face-- my nose this time-- and went on a mini retail tirade at the mall. mommy-dearest threw down in the kitchen and cooked sirloin steaks, loaded baked potatoes, garlic&onion green beans, gravy&mushrooms for dinner and grey goose/hypnotiq/spiced rum and chocolate cake for dessert. YUM.

i got a birthday package from the superduo, carlos and erica and OH.EM.GEE! these two are awesome. carlos, thank you for being a true fuckin friend for the last three-four (maybe more?) years and erica, you are as beautiful as you are sweet and oh-so-generous. i love you guys; thank you for thinking of me <333

back to the grind tomorrow. yay for thanksgiving next week! clubbing and barhopping will be an order after all the leftover turkey is gone ^.^
