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.

Image Change
This past weekend, I had an image makeover. Well, not quite a makeover but I got a haircut. I haven't gotten a haircut (except the occasional trim every few months) since early 2006. It's been two years! I don't keep my hair long most of the years except in those two years, I had an alternative motive! I was getting married.
The wedding day came and went and I still did not get a haircut. I was toying with the idea of doing a "Trash the Dress" session (more about this session someday) so I continued to keep my hair long. Well...the TTD session came and went but my long hair was still on my head.
Then, a thought occurred to me, I would donate my hair! I did research on the topic and found there was a LENGTH REQUIREMENT plus a bunch of other requirements such as hair cannot be chemically treated, must be clean, must be braided or in ponytail, yadee, yadee, yadee.
Anyway...so I continued to grow out my hair because I did not want to be bald when I decided to chop off my hair. After much contemplation, I went through with the process this past Saturday! My stylist asked me if I was sure. Hell yeah I was sure! Now I have a bob. It's a bit shorter than I had anticipated but I don't really care. The good thing about hair is that it grows back (well...at least for me anyway). ;P
So my brother, who I shall call ECA and his g/f, ECA g/f, came over on Sunday because ECA missed my furbabies and wanted to play with them. (I have six. One of these days, I will introduce you to my six furbabies.) The husband's younger sister (what shall I call her?) also came over with a foot long sub from Vegas. (Yes really, the sub really did come from Vegas but she didn't go to Vegas.) ECA and ECA g/f also brought us all Yogurt Pad! YUM! YUM! Unfortunately, they did not have mochi again. This is the second time they ran out of mochi. I'm disappointed! =( Anyway...we were all in the husband's cave and I remembered that the following item was in his cave:
I proceeded to grab the bag because I wanted to show ECA and his g/f what was in it. Heehee...let's just say they were freaked out by it and told me to put it away! Geez....it was only my hair. I thought it was kind of cool (o.k., so I found it rather entertaining from their expression and amusing) to see my hair in a ponytail.Here are some more pics. Look! My hair is longer than 12 inches! I have the ruler to prove!
What a momentous ocasion!! =)

Too much work!!
I haven't had a chance to blog for a few days now and I miss blogging. Blogging usually means that I have free time so I can talk about random nonsense or not. Unfortunately, I have a bunch of deadlines so the little busy me has been working when after work! =(
I was eating my lunch by my lonesome self in the kitchen today when my middle-aged co-worker came in. (Wait..practically everyone at my workplace is at least 10 years older than me.)
Anywho, my co-worker started to prepare her lunch and while she was doing that, she asked me, "Can I ask you a personal question?"
I said, "yes."
She asked, "Is everything o.k.?"
I nonchalently said, "Oh, I've just been really busy."
She said, "Oh, ok."
Silence for a few seconds.
Then I asked, "Why, do I seem a bit agitated lately?"
She responded rather quickly, "Yes."
I laughed and said again, "I've just been busy. Too many things to do. Not enough minutes in a day."
Maybe I should have also said, if everyone leaves me alone, maybe I can get some work done. Quit trying to engage me in every project. Lately...I get the feeling my boss does not like to interact with the people back east and they don't really like to talk to him either. So guess what? I get the calls!! WTH?!?!
(My dogs are annoying me because they will not shut-up!!)
