Movie List

I've decided to keep a list of movies I want to see on here because I never remember them when I am at the video store. This is in no special order.

1. 27 Dresses
2. There Will Be Blood
3. Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
4. Atonement (This one is questionable, I just want to see it because of all the oscar buzz)
5. Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie
6. I Am Legend (Seen on 3/22/08)
7. Charlie Wilson's War
8. American Gangster
9. Bee Movie
10. Michael Clayton
11. The Nanny Diaries
12. No Reservations
13. Georgia Rule

That's it for now. I will update when I remember.

Randomness

I did it! I signed up for my pilates classes! I bought a series of 10 classes to start out and I hope I like this new studio. It's close to home and actually also conveniently by the freeway as I head home from work too! I'm excited! My first class is this Sunday! I just hope this studio is as good as the previous studio I attended.

What other random thinking? Oh, I met with another bride AND GROOM this past Sunday and they booked me! Heehee...I think the groom was a bit taken aback. He said that I seemed kind of young and asked how long I have been wedding planning. Hmm...sometimes I think it's partly because I am short that makes me look young. Oh well...after 5 minutes with me, they were convinced I knew what I was doing! =)

As for continuing education, I printed out two sessions and I have been reading one session. My goal is to finish that session this month and read my February book, The Cider House Rules by John Irving. That's a lot of reading! I will have to cut back on web surfing which I really should because sometimes I can spend a few hours a night online wandering around aimlessly.

Pregnancy Photos

So I think many women will want to flame me after I say this but I don't like pregnancy photos where the women are showing their naked stomachs. I don't see the point of showing one's naked and big-ass stomach. I don't think it's sexy or attractive. I actually feel a bit quesy and nauseated seeing a pregnant woman's stomach uncloth.

Another thing I don't like seeing is women breast-feeding in public. Good lord...I don't really want some lady to whip out her boob to feed her child in front of me. Although I try really hard to pretend not to see anything, I still do. I can't condemn other people for doing what they do but it doesn't mean I like it. Again, I'll probably get flamed for this paragraph too but the good thing is that I don't think a lot of people read my blog so I am probably safe! =)

Saturday Outing

It's been a little over a week since I've updated my blog I've been super busy over this past week and have been lazy to blog. Anyway, I'll try to do a recap of this past weekend as well as week.

Saturday, 2/2 - I went to lunch with a friend, E, I met on a wedding forum. We went to Felix Continental Cafe in Orange, CA. It is Cuban food. I've had Cuban food before as there is a restaurant called Florida near my work that serves Cuban. I absolutely love that restaurant. I actually went there today for lunch with about 9 other coworkers to celebrate some people's birthdays.

Going back to Felix Continental - this was actually my second visit to this restaurant. The first time I was here, I went with a college friend who introduced me to Cuban food. Anyway, I can't say that I am all that impressed with Felix Continental. I gave the restaurant a second chance but it just cannot compare to Florida. The plaintains at Florida is super yummy and sweet. The plaintains at Felix is bland and hard. Oh well. After lunch, my friend, E and I went to Main Place because I needed to buy a Stila pressed powder refill. Main Place does not carry Stila! That was a bit annoying considering the fact that we drove around for about 5 minutes trying to find a parking place. We headed over to SCP so that I could buy my pressed powder refill and E could fill out her HR termination paperwork. She was being laid-off from her workplace! It's o.k., the woman only works 4 hours a month at the place. It's about time they lay her off. =P

I think E was tired of walking around the mall with me as I wandered aimlessly window shopping for a purse. As E put it, she wasn't a shopper. Well, I'm not a shopper either but it's nice every once in awhile to just walk around. After going to several stores, we called it an afternoon and I dropped her off at her aunt's place. I ran some errands and headed home.

My friend, Metea, came over in the evening to hang out. We talked for awhile and then it was time for dinner. The husband, Metea and I went to Ebisu for ramen. It's funny but my taste buds have changed over time. I used to not like curry, specifically Japanese curry, but now I like it. I gues it's one of those things that you need to try more often and it will grow on you. Oh...back to what I was saying, I didn't really like Japanese ramen for a long while. Somehow, it's kind of grown on me. I would have to say that I would have to thank some of my forum buddies for our GTG's to different restaurants. Oh...I ran into a previous co-worker of mine when we were at Ebisu. We chatted for a minute or two and I got her email. I'll have to remember to send her an email to catch-up one of these days.

After dinner, we went back to our place. Metea and I continued our discussion way pass our bedtime (I had to catch a early flight the next morning). It was hilarious catching up with Metea. Although Metea and I exchanged email correspondence frequently at work, we cannot hear each other laugh. I think exchanging laughter is one of the most wonderful things about getting together with friends.
