Unfolding the Lies

Good evening kiddos. So how many of you got dissapointed this morning when you found out all or most of yesterday was a joke? My heart goes out to you I assure you. But please how innocent can one be. Before falling for it again I suggest you do what I do, and use this form of reason. If it walks like a duck then its a duck.

Oh well on to bigger and better things

Last Sunday, my boyfriend went to play basketball with Phil. Ian no doubt managed to break his pinky. *awww* yup, it will take a while to recover. His gaming skills have not waivered though, he is still the best video games player that I know. Yes I know a few.

A picture, is worth a thousand words here is the one I can provide.

Today is also Rosie's birthday. I have known her since I was in High School and through the years she has reached for her dreams and grasped them in hand. That is what I call sure success. She has never lost that happy spark and love for live that drives some of the lucky few.

My dear friend, the longer we live the better or at least the easier it gets. Continue to take life one day at a time. Never, change.

April Fools Day

Yet another holiday, when the witty get to pray on the innocent zaps who fall pray to their jokes. I must admit you would think that because, we have perpetuated this holiday for only God knows how long that people would see it comming and just, not fall for it, and yet, we still have a select few who do. Ah such is life.

This has no doubt become a holiday almost as important as one's birthday, for you see even big companies like Kojima have entered the game. *no pun intended*

BBC, a very respectable tv station got in on it as well

What can I say it seems now the world entire has developed quite a funny bone. As for me, I am glad to say that this day is not one of jest, rather its one of rememberance. It was four years ago today, that my boyfriend and I made plans to meet for the first time. Ah the memories.

Coming back to the present as much as I would love to tell you, about the pranks I pulled or those pulled on me, I have none to speak of, today went as any other day.

21 Days to a New ME

Dear Friends,

It is said that when we have goals he best way to accomplish them is to share them with those who care about us.

I am sure at least a handful of you truely care for me, and thus, I bring to you my resolution.

I read someplace that it takes 21 days to break a bad habit.  God knows more than anyone, that I have plenty.  Of course, not all of them I will disclose with the world.

However, there is a few that I will since I am interested in seeing my progress.  I want to stop being such a bad house keeper.  Everytime I'm online I have this status that says "Cleaning",  I am sure now most of my contacts think I am a regular Martha Steward.  However, to the contrary, I always try to clean but I am seldom ever successful.

Among other bad habits there is te fact that I swear too much.  Specially lately, I tend to loose my cool, with one of my friends and her boy trouble.  There is no blinder man than he who refuses to see I say in that case.

However, these too bad habits take away from my beauty and lower my I.Q. a fair bit.  I am a wonderful person.  So I figure if I can stick it out for 21 days I will break those two habits and become a much better person for it.

So the count down starts today.  I have not figured out how I will go about it.

As per the swearing I will just get a dictioary and learn new acceptable words to show discontent.  As per the cleaning....

There is where I have a problem.... There I need the most help.

I know how to clean don't get me wrong, my bad habits are in no way from up bringing, I was taught well by both my parents.  I just picked them up I guess.

Cleaning is never been something I am dying to do.  I have trouble keeping my mind on task. On finding where to start how to prioritize, how to make it fun.  How to make it not so over stressful. At the same time not make it so minimal that nothing is done right.

Yup I know what my short comings are but I don't know how to fix them.

So if any of you experts that love cleaning got any good advice now its the time to dish.

I'm listening.

Relationships - Why They Don’t Work

Current mood: Chipper

Currently Playing As I Am No One By: Alicia Keys

Before anyone can answer the question of "Why Relationships Don't Work?" We have to know what does make them work.

What makes a relationship work is TRUST and COMMUNICATION. Most people have blindly told me, "I have those things, I do". After sometime however, they realize they have none of that.

Often I come across ladies and gentlemen who desparetly want to make it work. Now, here is what I been trying to make them understand. It is not up to you alone to try and make it work. BOTH of YOU have to want change and be willing to change. For the better.

To that of course you have add the clauses. They are, don't just say you want things to change and then trip because he didn't call you last night or because he didn't answer his phone.

Today when I finally thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel someone tells me " I feel like calling him and telling him, I'm fed up with this" and all because he sounded upset when she was not there to pick up the phone.

Thus continueing the cycle of forever being at an inpass.

You have to wake up and pay attention. Don't expect him or her to read your mind and know the way you feel. And don't expect him to be with you like your ex was in the good times. TELL HIM, boys and girls and not born with a manual on the opposite sex right under their arms.

Often times fights start mainly because of hear say. "Oh someone said you said this and did that"

First of all, HEAR SAY. Okay, you were not there personally so stop creating a war based on what someone else told you happened unless you saw it yourself. You gottta face the fact that misery loves company and people out there are rooting for you to fail.

Secondly if you have doubts talk it over, like civilized humans. I have often told the ladies. Work things out, talk to your man, tell him what you like, or don't like about where you guys are at.

Like clockwork they tell me, "Oh he interrupted me. We got in a fight, we in time out."

HELLO! How many times have we heard the terms don't just hear but LISTEN!

In case your dear parents didn't pass along that memo here it is, Girls, LOVE to talk. LISTEN! Before you jump to conclusions let her FINISH talking. Then ask her questions if you have any doubts.

Just in case you are not aware of doubts here is a huge FIY: If something she said is about to piss you off, or give a less than favorable impression that is a huge red flag that you both need to ask each other questions.

Vini Vidi Vici

Current Mood: Acomplished

Currently Playing Vivir Enamorado Por Primera Vez By Erique Iglesias

There is somedays, where things don't go exactly as planned. It is then that you have to decide wether you let it ruin the rest of your day, or you make it work.

I decided to take the bull by the horns. and as they say in latin, Vini, Vidi, Vici. I came, I saw, and I conquered.

I woke up unsually early today, concidering I didn't go to bed until close to five this morning, being up and going by eleven was quite an achivement. I had given up on working on my site, since due to my novice mistake of not setting my preferences correctly on DreamWeaver, I ended up over-writting my own work and ending up, as I had begun, in square one. I called my Server Service Providers, and never have I felt so ignorant in my life, I felt like a fool, I was as I usually say, "Having a blonde momment". As they had informed me that my links were broken do to one letter. "L". Yes, I wrote all the links on code .htm. It is a habbit of mine that I forgot to set in DW. So it added the L before putting on server and thus causing my problem.

Anyways, after I got that resolved and set my preferences, to prevent any futher incidents today, I was happy to find out my boyfriend had jump started my work, by giving me some what of a raw beginning page, to work with in each of the two problem sections of my site. That surely expedited things. As was able to continue with my day, without any major incident. Or so I thought.

Well sometime during the day, I found out, that I had some messages, as I am automatically logged in to any machine I use, and I use three during the day on any given day, it all depends on how the weather is, if its too hot, its down to the first floor if its too cold is back up here, and then up here it all depends on what part of my lab i want to sit at.

Having explained myself there, it is understandable then that some people might feel ignored. Specially those with whom I spent every waking moment talking too. I could say I am sorry, but I guess there is nothing one can do to cure such impressions on some people, all I can do is hope to get in the habbit of setting away messages or dumping yahoo as my messenger and getting trillian whom gladly gives and automatic response.

Some have told me, "Why not just stay logged out". Oh I try that, but I depend on messenger for far more things than chatting, It is some sort of an alert device for me my reminders arrive there ect. So I must be on, I could be invisible, but really comes back to my not setting status messages, very often. Sometimes I am too busy.

Having said that, I suppose some people hate my gutts today, I hate to sound predictable, but I don't aim to please.

In a sum of all things, I beieve I conquered this day very well.

My VDay

Current Mood: Loved

Currently Playing Thong Song By Sisqo

Now that the fun roller coaster of Valentines day is finally over I would like to tell everyone about it.

This year Vday was a surprise, because unlike other times the celebration of the "Holiday of Love" started a day early.

For quite a while my boyfriend had been telling me his work schedule and I was already prepared for eating dinner and nothing more.  Yeah he works and sometimes he works just a little too much for my taste.

February 13, started like all my subsequent days, nothing special Ian woke up got ready for work and I contunued sleeping.  Shortly after he left for work I woke up planning what I would do with the rest of my day, and as you can guess, played some Diablo 2.

I was home alone like many other times suddenly I heard a tapping as of someone gently rapping rapping at my house door.  Of course I yell down the stairs, that I'm armed and dangerous.  Then I open the doror trying to surpise the traspasser and it was ian with a rose in his hand and a bag that contained a drive half the size of a terrabyte drive (500gb).

Right off the bat I'm thinking, "Yey, work at home day".  I was so happy I climbed up on him and didn't let go for a while.

Little did I know that was just the first surprise of the day for me.  He soon told me to get ready that we had somewhere to be at about 1 pm that day.  He told me to make sure to pack a second set of clothes and my bathing suit.  My first reaction was to look at him funny, because you see, it was like 60 degrees out there, I could not think that morning I had drawn a blank.  But I did as I was told anyways.

I got some extra set of clothes and the baithing suit.  We got in the car and he put the GPS to direct the way.  After driving for a while and looking around the GPS finally said, "Arriving to destination, on left".  I turned to look at him because I could not believe my eyes, it was a cemetery! Yeah of all places, and I know I'm kindda grim but not that day.

Well it turns out that it was not the cemetery where were going, it was actually, the place right next to it.  Lafayette Hotel and Spa, who would have thought such a fancy hotel would have such a grim neighbor.  Once we got there I still was lost and did not know what was going on.  Until about ten mins before one, we arrived at the hotel and we made our way to the back side of it, to the Spa.  We were there for a couples massage.  Oh my I never ever been to a Spa in my life and much less for anything like that I was nervous.

A few minutes later we were checked in and our masseuse, came in and had us to go female and male locker rooms to change into something more comfy.  In other words get naked and wear a robe and shoes.

After that we waited for her in the waiting room and well, soon she came in and walked us to a Spa Suite, which was a very fancy looking room, with the right lighting and admostphere.  We were left alone to remove our robes and lay down in out tummys.  Soon after they came in, and began the one hour massage, it was just perfect.

After that we were left alone, we got dressed again and went to the lockers to shower, it was amazing.

After that we waited and they brought us a box of chocolate truffles.  My next surprise was comming soon.  Soon after that I was heaing toward the car and he stopped me to go to the hotel front desk.  He asked for the key to his room. Yes you guessed right we were spending the day there and the night as well.

We went up to the room on the fourth floor and something that jumped up at me right away was that it was room 417 and this only makes sense to me because we met on 4-17-04 for the first time ever.  I was more than happy by then.  We took a nap and woke up later to go get some stuff at Target.  Then we came home because I packed so fast I forgot to get my shoes.

After we got dressed we left for the hotel were yet again he would surprise me.  He had reservations for dinner at the hotel's restaurant at 6 PM.  I had Lobster and he ate some mashroom soup. For drinks he order me a Sea Breeze my favorite and he had a Margarita.

I was stuffed after dinner was over I was so tired, it was a hecktic day.  When we got to our room the fireplace infront of our bed was lit.

Soon after we got to the room t here was someone at the door when I opened the door, there it was a hotel employee was holding a plater with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.  We drank and then stuff I'm not gonna say here.

We woke up again shorty before midnight and sat infront of the fireplace with the platter we got earlier that day and just looked at the fire until it was midnight.  Happy Valentines Day.

The morning after we went to chill in the hot tub down stairs of the hotel, and stayed there until we pruned.  Then it was back to the room to take pictures and relax.  We finally checked out at 2 pm that day.

Then we had  lunch at the Spagetti Factory I had Chicken Fettuchinni and he had something else.  We took pics there too, I had some cheese cake with chocolate sauce.  I love that place they will give you anything you want that is really having it your way.  Before my food I had a specially made Caesar Salad.

It was wonderful.  After that we went to the movies "Music & Lyrics" it was a nice romantic film fitting the day no doubt.

After the movie we finally got home and hang out a little when his mother came home at around 8 pm, We invited her out to dinner with us, she chose the place Da Lat nice restaurant, I had my favorite Broccoli and Beef.  After dinner it was finally home time.

No need to tell you I slept like a baby.  I was beat two days of too much fun

I Am Lucky

It is almost again that most beautiful time of year. Where friends become lovers and lovers again their love profess.

And here I am thinking of nothing more than the love of my life, my boyfriend Ian. It has been so long since we first met that I truely thank destiny and whatever, had anything to do with me, meeting him.

Most guys tell me he is a very lucky guy. As much as I love compliments I think I should correct that. I am the lucky one. I am the fortunate one.

He is every woman's dream come true. He spoils me rotten, in more ways than the material things. He understands my half spoken sentances. He really takes me as I am. Ever since we been together I have noticed this change in my life, I am now confident, I can stand on my own, because someone like him gave me what I needed to live to love and to suceed in all I do. And he did it all just for the sake of doing so. He has never had a hidden agenda, and always speaks his mind. Yet, all in all, he has never raised his voice at me or called me names, like some guys like to do so about their girls or exs. Because even this I must say, he has never spoken ill of the past women in his life, to him they were ladies that in their time were part of his life, and they are respected memories and friends.

Now there in lies the secret guys, because if you can respect a woman, and give her more than just "hey baby u hot", then u got what it takes to be a girls knight in shining armor.

So I think in this time of my life if I had to re-live the hell I went through in life to get to know such a beyond wonderful man, then I would gladly do it again.

I have found my soulmate, my other half.

I love you Ian :D
