A PITIFUL SIGHT

HATE LIST

PART 1:

I have pretty much long list of people and
things and others - that I personally
despise. My first official blog
was supposed to be that but I just never
got around to it all, being it's so long.

So here we go ( Not IN ORDER)

* I HATE DRIVING IN THE RAIN
  ( I am blind as it is, and driving in the
    rain makes it so hard for me to even
    see the traffic lights...)
    - so note for myself (NOT MOVING TO SEATTLE)
     (although the idea of living in
      Seattle seems very romantic)

* I HATE TAKING MY DOG TO A GROOMERS SALON
   I love my dog to death. I will do anything for him.
   Well, except taking him to the groomers.
   I cannot STAND other dog owners and how they
   parade their dogs and wanting you to
   acknowledge their mutts. Am sorry,
   as cute as other dogs are, NOT ALL OF THEM ARE.
   Bless them all though.
   This one lady one time, literally got mad at me for
   not petting her " little spaniel mix" ..
   She asked me if I didn't think her dog was cute.
   I told her " I just don't feel like touching your dog"
   She took offense on that.
   Oh well.. - too bad. I am sure I am not the only
   one who refused to touch somebody else's dog.

* I HATE REPTILE FAMILIES (esp. SNAKES)
   The whole scutes/scales skin and crawling
    I can never understand people with fascination
    with snake....and some actually keep them
    in their residential houses as a PET.
    Imagine visiting a friend who has a python
    as a pet and just there in the couch .. laying
    there .. chillin' like most DOG do?
    For years as a kid, I got traumatize going
   to the zoo.  They have this little kiosk
   tent before you go in the zoo that people
   take your picture holding your favorite
   animal. I've always wanted to hold a penguin..
   so one time, I asked my mom if I could go
   to the tent so I can ask if I could have my
   picture taken.
   I got there and there was this kid
   holding a python's head and
   it's whole body is wrapped around this kids NECK!
   I saw that and I ran and ran ran crying..
   Never did I ever want to come back to the ZOO
   in my life.. AGAIN!

* REALITY SHOWS
   ( THE BACHELORS/JERSEY SHORE/
     KATE AND HER KIDS/......)
  My first dose of Reality Show was the first
  ever Season of THe Bachelors..
  It was interesting.. it was fresh..
  Then I got the whole concept of the whole
  dating thing.. picking up the mate..
  and all that crazy things to get the BACHELORS
  attention.
  Then, I told myself " THIS IS FUCKING STUPID"
  It's all for the show!.
  You don't go to a national TV and compete
  with another girls just to get this GUY.
  First of all, you don't know the guy.
  Second, even if you start liking the guy,
  may I remind you that YOU ARE IN NATIONAL TV
  while this quest is all taking place.
  DUMB. STUPID.POINTLESS.
  What makes you think that when that guy picks you,
  that it's a happy ending for both of you.
  I was right.. NONE of those marriages that
 TOOK place did actually last.
  PLEASE. It's all for the network purposes to
  get the rating going. After the SHOW is over..
  what happens? DIVORCE / SEPARATED.?

* BOOKSTORE - GUYS PICK UP "LINES"
  I am not saying I get approached a lot.
  I usually go to bookstore once a week,
  so in a good of one month, I get
  maybe twice of those morons, who
  thinks all girls who's alone and reading
  a book is lonely and wants some company!
  But like I said previously, you can't hate
  a guy for trying. WELL I CAN!!
  I rather get approached at the supermarket,
  or maybe coffee shop or maybe at the car
  wash. But please, NOT while you are
  reading a BOOK!

  Famous Lines

GUY-   " Good Book, we both have the same taste"
ME -     oh yah.. so you like MEN TOO?
___________________________________
GUY - " I love that book I've read it four times.."
ME -  "  Do you hear me asking you?"
___________________________________
( a guy would pull up a chair in front of you
  making seem like he wants to take your seat
  but when you look up to him he'd smile
  and start a conversation. )
  - those are the sleek one.... they try to be
   smooth about it..

CHILE-CHICKEN POSOLE


I was feeling bad eating all my TV dinner
I decided tonight, what the hell,
Live a little you know -
went to market.. got all the
stuff I needed.. and here I am
at 1:14AM.. finally
I am eating dinner.
Well, doesn't look very colorful
in this picture because it's
a supposed to be GREEN CHILE.
I  will add my recipe to this later on...
Am stuffed and I am going to bed.




MY LOVE, MY CHILD, MY EVERYTHING :)

This was his look while watching me
make this Posole...
He was anxious... and he knows
he's not going to have any so
he's got the biggest frown in the world..

IMAGINATION AT IT'S BEST





Cooking calms me down. I hardly have time to
really savour the moment of preparing
a dish. I wish I have though. Once a week
I'd make a nice set of menu - for my own
gratification. Not just by eating it but
also by making it. The process is a little
gruesome for some people, I enjoy it.
Process of planning a menu ahead of time.
The process of preparation. The list of
the ingredients I have to shop for.
Kinda exciting....
The days I have to work, I just don't have
any time to even grab a bread and make
a sandwich on my own and bring it to work.
I eat a lot of grapes, apples, oranges on the
go. Fruits on the go. So if you see a girl
driving in traffic while eating grapes-- That
could be me.
(I pop them in my mouth as if they are
popcorns) ..
So basically, my whole day I eat fruits and
water. Not really sure that's healthy-
but I think I rather eat those than
chips, cookies and all those bad carbs.
Although, no matter how " healthy" I eat
on the road.. while driving or when am at
work, I still go home and somehow ruin...
a " supposedly" magnificient - diet regimen"
( if you call it like that).. Since all day,
I've never touch any carbs or meat..
This is me.. when I get home..
- Open the fridge, get a TV dinner, heat it up
and turn on the TV  - and find FOOD NETWORK
and Waaahhlahhhh - thats my dinner.
Those TV dinners can be soooo good or extra bad.
I just love them though - Quick, Easy, Tasty.
Of course it's tasty - its loaded with all those
SODIUM you could imagine.
I can eat anything bad, any worst food ever
and still manage to eat them while watching
FOOD channels.
There's something about watching them make
this deliciously looking foods .. and it gives you
extra appetite that no matter what's in front of you,
everything looks good.
I can eat a spoiled food - (been in the fridge)
for a week or so.. and still enjoy as long as
TV is on.
Weird habit I know. I could get food poisoning
or something but I just couldn't help it.
That was actually my New Years Resolution 2010
well make it 2009 and 2008 too.
Just a hard habit to break.
I tried not buying them in the grocery store...
I tried not to go any frozen/tv dinner aisle...
somehow.. I have to get an ice cream and there
I go .. in that aisle....grabbing all my Marie Calendars
Al Dente Dinners. Sighs.
One of these days I know, I'll just stop cold turkey.
I know I will.

MY 1ST OFFICIAL BLOG....

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT


My life has been one of those episode's of Seinfeld,
combined with the world of Alice ( Alice In Wonderland).
and a little of Coraline....
It's pretty weird. I know.
Growing up I've always thought I was different,
girls my age playing barbie, singing, dancing,
laughing. Me, Well, I cannot say am exactly
the opposite of them, I laugh, Sing, Dance,
laughing, Happy.. - (all the normal stuff
girls do growing up)... Only the difference is,
I have a vision of things all the time...mostly
in my dreams. I think children do. I am sure
at least 70% of kids has this phase in their childhood
where they imagine things, (imaginary friend)...
they dream of things.. (nightmares).. then
they forget about them when they grow old.
Well, I am no different from them, only mine
didn't go away,
Dragons, giant butterflies, snakes that talks,
I dreamt one time I was Noah building an
ark, I was a dragon only I cannot spite fire...
list of those continues...
I should have been a childrens book author.
I think I'd be good at it.. but I like to keep
it to myself, until now.
They say all dreams people have are the
reflections of their subconscious...
that they are pigment of their imaginations
when they are awake.I believe that, only mine
does not rest. It's like a childrens book-mind..
(thats what my parents used to tell me).
Lately, I have been dreaming of my boyfriend
being chased by a giant one eyed -mushroom...
(thats like 4 times already this week)...
What the hell does that mean?
People always give me this BOOK OF DREAMS.
It's just one way of saying " hey you're a weirdo
interpret your dream for once... so you'll have
an idea what they mean" (they give that to me
for christmas, bdays, graduations)... I am pretty
sure one of these days I will have my own libary
filled with Dream Interpretation Books.
But see, for years now, I never really ask myself
what are those dreams mean?. I take it as it is.
When giant mushroom is chasing my boyfriend,
I laugh, coz I think it's funny. But then it became
regular in my dream session, and am starting
to panic now.. like is that like a bad thing?
What do mushroom represents? One eyed?
Last time I check, mushroom do not have eyes
or eye.
Few things I notice now that am on my 30's..
my dreams become more vivid and detailed.
I thought when I was a kid, it was detailed
enough that I'd freak my parents out when I
tell them my dreams.. but No, now is
like wayyyyy waaayy.... colorful, weirder,
and ...well not scary anymore. Its like
Alice's world.. only am " alive in flesh".
Reading Alice in Wonderland for like
at least 40 times now, I always felt like
she tells my story. I feel like am not alone.
That she and I are together on this...
its a subtle way of saying. " You have me
in your dream and in reality".
