Merry Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Hope everyone has a safe one with all their family, friends and loved ones. Everyone should really focus on the Christmas spirit and quit being such grinches. I'm so tired of encountering mean people in my life right now and I just want them to be nice to the people around them. Quit being so fake because it shows. If you've got a problem with someone/something then feel free to voice your opinion and not be such a two faced grouch pouch. Smile more and say Merry Christmas to a stranger. Do something that will benefit another person for a change and don't think that everything is about you because the world simply doesn't revolve around you.




With the economy in the ruckus state that it's currently in, I can see that consumers are very frugal in spending their hard earned money this year for Christmas. I was in San Francisco downtown area trying to take care of some last minute shopping on Monday. To my surprise, there was not as many people as I've seen in the previous years and the shelves in stores were still fully stocked. I remember working in retail and I remember how the shelves were empty prior to Thanksgiving and filled with Christmas shoppers. This was a good thing since I was a last minute shopper, I was still able to find everything I wanted. However on the other hand it makes me sad that we have to be so frugal and money conscious. None the less, it forces people to become creative and instead of buying ready to use gifts, more people are resorting to home made goods. I love receiving/making homemade goods!


So I was stuck with the task of wrapping the family's presents. Dammit.

Mario Kart Love Song

Found this on youtube and it is way too cute. If you're a fan of Mario Kart, like myself, then check this out. It made me smile =) To check out more of this San Francisco native musician, check his youtube- blinktwice4y.



blinktwice4y's lyrics:

V1:
You be my princess
I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you
on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells
wherever we go
I promise.

V2:
Noone will touch us
if we pick up a star
If you spin out
you can ride in my car
When we slide together
we generate sparks
in our wheels and our hearts

Chorus:
The finish line
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
so our love will never end
Let's go again

V3:
The blue shell is coming
so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
it'll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you

Bridge:
Don't worry about
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they'll all fade away

Chorusx2

to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup

walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii

Weird Discoveries

Just came home from handing in my last take home final. What a relief! I am now free to sleep in haha. On another note, it's been freezing in San Francisco and I'm trying to find some new gloves =]. No work on Friday, so that'll be a shopping day for me. I still have to get 2 Kris Kringle presents. I've already knocked down the White Elephant gifts at Valley Fair Mall yesterday. If anyone from the party reads this, you guys should definitely pick my present! It's gonna be awesome =)

Anywho, I was browsing the web for some Japanese items and I came across some weird stuff. The Japanese come up with the craziest shit.

*slims down your mouth/face shape by "exercising" your mouth?
*posture aid to help prevent hunchbacks


* a finger styling comb? WTF!


* Put on these interesting slippers (contains germanium mix) and tip toe on them, it helps tightens buttock and calf muscles. Great for those who wishes to have their lower body shaped up!




Look what I found lol

Self-proclaimed As The Worst Week of The Year?

Why do I say it's the worst week? Take a look,

- It's raining shits and dogs in San Francisco
- It's finals week. I have a final on Tuesday and Wednesday. Instead of cramming, I've been watching tv, I'm so angry at myself. Someone needs to cut off my internet connection for a few days until finals are over.
- My coupon for a $15 off $35 purchase at Sephora isn't working because the website is "temporarily unavailable" due to high traffic volumes. Today is the last day to use the coupon!! I guess everyone is trying to make use of their free money just like I am. Err, I don't want to waste 15 free dollars! ..... yet I'll be putting down $20 more in order to make the coupon work....
- My last day of work at BofA is Thursday. Bye bye income. Bye bye shopping. Bye bye Starbucks?!

- Start of my internship at CPMC. I'm nervous as hell. New environment, new people, new rules.
- I have 3 holiday parties to go to this weekend. They all require White Elephant/Kris Kringle gifts. Damn, broke status!?
- Phone is sticky as hell after my lil cousin got to it to watch "Barbie and the Diamond Castle" on youtube for a couple hours while eating cake&apples&pears

On another note, things I'm looking forward to this week are:

- Freedom from work and school! Last day of work means no more customer service from me, SUCKAS. No more waking up at the break of dawn to attend my damn 8 AM class. My earliest class next semester is at 11 AM. Also no more waking up early on Saturday mornings to go to work, I can finally stay out on a Friday night!
- 3 holiday parties! #1, Branch dinner -Holiday/"Going Away Party" for me @ Park Chow, followed by games and prizes at the branch. #2, Monica & Amy's Holiday Potluck in Pittsburgh. I'll finally get to see Monica's new house. #3, Potluck/Hot Pot with the girls @ Nancy's house - whoever is my Kris Kringle, please refer to my wishlist HAHAHA

- Start of my intership. Finally some hands on experience and change of pace.
- Shopping for all my Kris Kringle/White Elephant gifts .. and possibly some presents for myself
- To watch Four Christmases, which came out during Thanksgiving weekend but I never made it out for that. Hopefully I'll be able to knock that one down this week.
- To read Twilight and to see what all the hype about teenage vampire love affairs are all about. I've got to take advantage of the fact that I don't have school books to read and no work!
