it's funny how you can drive the same
road a million times and not see something so obvious, until someone
else points it out! am i that unobservant? sheeesh. next time you're
driving on 92 eastbound there's this one spot, where if you look up on a
clear day, you can see downtown SF! amazing!
yesterday i got a
funny inquiry call from a girl that wanted to have their high school
prom at the hotel. we haven't done a single prom. ever. i told her the
minimum food and beverage requirement would be $80,000, plus service
charge and tax, which came out roughly to $231 per person, just for
food, and the girl didn't flinch. she wanted to set up a time to see the
property. ohmigawd, i don't know what kind of school this is, but it's
gonna cost almost $600 per couple, after you count in the DJ,
decorations, photographer... i told everyone about her call, and we all
started talking about our proms. :) so fun to talk about those
days. i had a great prom...

i was having a really bad morning. boss
in a bad mood, demanding things left and right (she's normally very
pleasant and fun to work for/with, but every 4 weeks, she becomes this
scary dragon lady...you get my drift?). then, i found out 2 of my
coworkers got into a horrible car accident early that morning, around
3am, and suddenly my "problems" seemed so trivial. the driver is in
critical condition, and may never walk again. the passenger, doa. i was
so overcome with sadness, especially knowing the driver, who started
working the same time as me and was in the same orientation class. the
passenger, i later found out, was the boyfriend of another coworker whom
i've gotten to know pretty well. when she found out later that morning,
they had to take her to the hospital because she had become too
hysterical with grief. i can't even imagine what she's going thru...it
makes my heart hurt just thinking about it. i don't want to think about
it...the thought of losing someone you love so much. i felt like i was
fighting back tears all day, thinking of what she must be gong thru. i
think that's why it's called heartache, cuz the grief is so huge that
your heart physically hurts.

ohmigosh, i'm soooo annoyed with my new
eye doc. after i pick up my new contacts (finally!) i am never stepping
foot into his office again. i swear, he's very rude and
"know-it-all"-ish and accused me of buying my contacts from an online
discount contact warehouse, which is totally false cuz i got them from
my last eye doctor. wtf? and what does he care? so, i'm looking for a
new eye doc. and if any of you on the peninsula are looking for a new
eye doc, DO NOT go to dr. soss (pronounced like sauce). he's a big jerk.
grr...
on to other news. i'm almost done reading fast food
nation (finally!!). i don't read much, mainly cuz when i'm even the
tiniest bit tired, it puts me to sleep. but yesterday, i promised myself
that i wouldn't watch tv or play online. so after reading the part about
the slaughterhouses, i've reverted back to vegetarianism (i was a
vegetarian for several years thru jr. high/high school). it's not so
much the inhumane treatment of the animals we're eating, it's more the
inhumane treatment of the workers that work in these slaughterhouses.
it's sooo awful. and not to mention the threat of food poisoning, i.e.
e.coli! i definitely recommend everyone read it. it's just full of very
interesting stuff. and it looks long, but the last 1/3 of the book is
just credits/bibliography, so the whole book is only like 280 some
pages. not so bad.

this weekend was supposed to be my
weekend of doing nothing. the past several weekends in a row have been
packed with things to do, and the next several weekends will be packed
with more things to do. this weekend, today and tomorrow, is my only
"free" weekend. so i decided to just do nothing. well, that didn't quite
happen today. :) my plan was originally to go to color me mine and unleash my
creative side. instead, i decided to go to my favorite store. i love that
place!!! fortunately (for my bank account), i only bought one thing for
me, and a bunch of inexpensive things for l & d, who just recently
got married and soon will be moving to japan for a year. then, i
decided, while i was out, i'd go buy j & b's wedding present and get
that done. instead, i spent about an hour at macy's trying on dresses.
at first, i tried on dresses i could wear to their wedding, then ended
up trying on all kinds of formal dresses! hahaha...it was kinda fun.
wasn't quite ready to head back home yet, so i went to barnes and read
some magazines and bought a book and zine. this may sound a
bit...psychotic (?), but i'm addicted to wedding magazines! i think of
it as my way of preparing fully for my own wedding (someday). so yes, i
have a huge collection of wedding magazines under my bed, all
doggy-eared with pages of note. then, i stopped by the store to get food
for dinner and finally made my way home, over 5 hours later. it was such
a nice day in SF i was this close to just going for a nice long drive.
but fear of getting severely lost snapped me out of it.
place i
most want to eat: french
laundry. someday, when i have a lot of money to spend on one meal...
or maybe i'll just get this for
now.

i'm so frustrated with my new contacts,
i'm ready to pull my eyes out of their sockets! no, not really. but i do
hate my new contacts. thru the advice of my *wonderful* new optometrist
(i'm being totally sarcastic, i'm already asking around for a new doc),
i got toric lenses to correct my smidgen of astigmatism. he told me they
were gonna make me see 20/15! and they would be far more comfortable
than my disposables. he was wrong. grrr. not only do they feel heavy and
thick, but i can FEEL them! good contacts you're not supposed to even
know they're in your eyes! and, i can't see anything. everything is
super blurry. after suffering for almost a month, i've made an
appointment to get rid of these and go back to my normal lenses. i'm
even thinking of just wearing glasses. but i don't know how long that
will last. oh, and now, i can't even see with my glasses on anymore! wtf
is going on?! grr...

only in SF will you find a girl wearing a
scarf in the middle of june. then turn around and see another
girl wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt. honestly, the scarf makes
more sense.
**note to self: taraval & 28th for
sushi...yummm**
so e_mc blew in like the wind, and blew right out
again! e_mc, next time try visiting on a weekend so that we can actually
hang out!! sorry we didn't get to hang out more, but it was great to see
you!

in college, my friend stole a yellow
cone. parking was a nightmare on campus, and once you found a spot, you
never left campus unless you knew for sure you would not be coming back
that day. this yellow cone came in very handy. when she had to leave her
spot momentarily, she placed the cone in the spot she was leaving, and
found it where she left it when she returned! genius.
speaking of
genius, i took the IQ test, and
i have an IQ of 109. i think i could've done better tho (at one point i
got up to get a popsicle and i think i missed a question or two). but
sheesh, i definitely need more than 25 seconds to figure out a friggin'
math word problem! the lamest part? i don't know what my score means. i
just hope i'm at least "average!" hahaha... i think i'd like to take a
REAL IQ test, not one aired on Fox. heh

woohoo!! best damn
investment i ever made! i just need it to hurry up and
split!
things at work are still crazy. it's just nonstop from the
second i get there to the second i leave! it's nice to be busy, but this
is ridiculous. we really need to hire another person quick, cuz i'm
starting to feel burnt out...
tomorrow night i'll be watching
the giants take on the twins. it's been a while since i've been to a
ballgame, and i'm going with my friend, s, so it should be lots of fun!!
and you can never beat free club level seats! :) another perk from my
job, free game tix!

remind me never to volunteer to help with
a wedding and bridal shower at the same time...i can't remember the last
time i was this tired. i think i got about 7 or 8 hours of sleep this
entire weekend. and now my allergies are kickin in and making me even
sleepier. dreadful. but it was a fun-filled weekend and i got to spend
lots of time with good friends whom i haven't seen in ages.
my
memory is failing me even more these days. i find myself having to write
down everything. ugh, i can't even imagine how bad my memory will
be when i'm like 70!!!
