I died before I was born

During my commutes into the city with my mom for work, we come across some random things in our 30+ minute conversations. Today, I learned something new about myself and also something that clears up the strange things about me.

I died once, not long before I came out of the womb. My mom always tells me what a pain I was giving birth to, but it wasn't until now that she told me that my heart stopped beating before I finally came out. (It was either my heart stopped beating or I stopped breathing... something along those lines that mean I died for a couple of seconds.) While my mom was in the hospital waiting for me to come out, she wasn't supposed to sit up or anything, but because it just hurt too much, she did, which caused the incident. And when I finally did come out to embrace this big world and all it has to offer, the doctors "supposedly" checked me for complications during my "death" and everything was okay. But surely they missed something. This has to be the explanation to why I am the way I am. Or or... maybe I'm dead now. This must be hell!! I wish had finals right now just so that statement could be appropriate.

PLEASE don't buy fake bags

Sadly, I'll admit to owning a few bootleg, fake, counterfeit, (whatever you want to call them) bags. I have already contributed to child labor and possibly, terrorism. I guess I could've guessed that some form of sweat shop labor was put into making these bags in some third world country, but I never knew the real story. The incident that saddens me the most is about the one in Thailand a couple of years ago when children, under the age of 10, were found sitting on the floor making these bags. An investigator also found out that these children's legs were broken and tied together from the thigh and lower leg to keep them from mending correctly because the children were complaining about wanting to go outside and play. But that's what children are supposed to do, and now since their legs were unable to grow back properly, they may never be able to play again. Not only does buying fake bags promote these kinds of activities, but it also takes away 750,000 American jobs. Please stop buying fake bags or any form of counterfeit items to decrease and stop demand.

Some Celebrity Gossip

It was during my break at work when I stumbled across one of the few magazines on the break room table. Of course, once I saw that there was an article about the Twilight cast members from the cover of Life & Style magazine, I immediately grabbed it and flipped quickly to the page, looking for it frantically. So according to Life & Style, Twilight is kinda coming to life, besides the whole vampire thing. Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie, likes Robert Pattinson, I mean who wouldn't, he's just drop dead gorgeous. But Robert Pattinson likes Kristen Stewart... NOOOOO!! Don't remind me!! (Yup, I read Life & Style magazine's previous feature article on Robert Pattinson's crush on Kristen Stewart too. But I'm over it now.) But Kristen Stewart already has a boyfriend of 2 years with that guy who plays Jack's son on Will and Grace, I think his name is Michael something. Anyways my roommate just totally hated Kristen Stewart after I told her this because she had a crush on that guy before and she likes Edward Cullen too, not as much as I do, but for me, it's a totally unhealthy obsession. Anyways, a part of me thinks that maybe this is all just publicity for Twilight, both the movie and books. It's cool and adds more to the movie when it's actually kinda real. Or maybe I'm just in denial. Even though I loved Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams together (Did they get back together? I feel like I heard that somewhere. Well I'll get back to you on that soon.), even though I rooted for them, I'm not wishing for Robert Pattinson to get with Kristen Stewart, because I want him all for myself.

MTV... WTF are you thinking?! Bromance... are you serious?? First there was Paris Hilton's My New BFF, then this?! When I first saw the commercial for it, I was convinced it was a joke. Reality shows are just getting out of hand. This is just plain retarded. I don't even watch The Hills anymore nor did I even attempt to watch The City, as much as I loved Whitney... I'm sorry, I just don't think you're exciting enough to watch.

Dang, Jennifer Aniston, you are looking hot hot hot. I was always team Aniston.

I just looked it up and... Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are back together according to Us magazine on August 20, 2008. I guess I'm a little late on the news. But YAY! I'm happy for them, my favorite celebrity couple.

Boys Dragged Shopping With Their Girlfriends

It's so funny to see boys sitting there, bored out of their minds, staring out into the distance, all zoned out, while their girlfriend is shopping away. They have that "this is the 50 bajillionth store we've gone to." Poor guys. Haha. The look on their face is priceless. There are some who actively express their opinion to their girlfriend's picks and then there are the ones who just sit there guarding the many shopping bags that surround them.

I'm done, It's over, The end... Bye bye

So here I am, all alone in my room catching up on Lipstick Jungle and eating a late night dinner consisting of the finest cuisine, General Tso's chicken. I was watching House earlier, but then I realized watching all that blood and medical procedures wasn't the smartest choice to go along with my meal. My roommate has already left, along with many others. Her side of the room is all clean and kind of empty, while my side of the room is all messy with clothes scattered on my bed, my straighter and blow dryer still plugged in and sitting on my desk, and shoes all over the floor. I should be packing to leave also but (1) I'm too lazy and (2) I've been meaning to write this entry ever since I've finished my finals.

Yup I've been done with finals since Friday, ended at a little after 1pm. It felt good. I haven't been able to get much sleep during finals week, fearing that I might miss my final by
accidentally sleeping in. I remember nights tossing and turning in my sleep, and I had a random incident when I jolted awake and immediately turned on the light to get ready, but then I realized it was 6am and went back to sleep. But anyways, it's over now. Another semester has passed. This one was just flew by. But along with this semester, the year 2008 is soon coming to an end. I shall be back about my recap on the year 2008 and some new year's resolutions.

A Normal Day at Work

I love seeing guys buying Christmas gifts for their girlfriends. The clueless, confused look is cute on them. Especially today when a cute Italian boy came into the store to buy something for his girlfriend back home. Cute Italian boy with a cute Italian accent, I hope there are more of those in Rome when I'm there.

A story told by one of my co-workers: This girl got her nipple pierced and there was this white thing sticking out so she cut it. Well, it ended up being a nerve ending and when she cut it, she puked at the same time. Eww... I know. Now I want to puke too.

And my co-workers made fun of me for having a blog. :( Well I wouldn't really call this a real blog, half the time I'm talking about Twilight or Robert Pattinson and the other half I'm talking about my boring life.

My Perfect, Dream Scenario

It's slightly snowing, flurries tonight. You're standing under the streetlamp light with a cute, no hot guy with a nice smile aka Robert Pattinson. He pulls out mistletoe and says something witty. He brushes a strand of hair away from your face, his cold fingers touching your cheeks lightly in the process, then he kisses you... and then you guys go inside and have hot, wild sex. lol jk, no no i'm not haha

Well if I can't have that, I want a fireplace, a nice soft blanket, some hot chocolate with marshmallows because I like marshmallows, and a hot guy in a cabin.

One rainy Thursday morning...

Why you must blast your ipod in the quiet computer lab for everyone to hear the exact lyrics to your music is beyond my understanding...

Now I'm going to go back to watching lipstick jungle, a reward for getting up at 6am to take my mass comm final this morning. I hate writing essays in class for finals. At least it's over with. Now I just have my blaw final tomorrow then I'm free!!
