My good friend (who is now on vacay with her "mistress"... (umm, I don't know the male version of a woman's "mistress")... while her dumb boyfriend is still working hard thinking his girlfriend is on a shopping trip with her friends) once said,
"You are the type of woman men will bring home to see their parents, bring to introduce to others, get married to... but not going to expect anything FUN out of you. Stable, caring, always available, a companion, a wife... but no excitements. I'm the type of woman who men want to be with but knowing that they can never really get me settle down... because I constantly fear boredom and craving romantic excitements but I don't think I will be able to find someone I will stay interested/attracted in the long run.... like EVER..."
I start to think about her saying recently... is this the reason why I'm still single? because I'm too mundane? too stable? being too content? I guess I'm way too into the Stepford wife mode. I always believe in being a companion in the long run than just being a "moment" for someone.
Perhaps, I'm way too old-fashioned and serious for the current dating world...
But truth be told, I don't think I will change... and I don't think I should change. If a guy likes what he sees and I'm what he is looking for, then things will eventually click... right?
Or, am I being too passive here?
One guy leaves, one "guy" enters. I'm really thankful for having him in my life.
What are you thankful for?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Rest in Peace, Mr. Steve Jobs.
Have been a Mac fans since iPod era and couldn't live without Mac since... You have made my life so much easier with your creations. It is truly a great loss of an amazing genius.
You will be missed.
My normal week consists of WORK-REST, WORK-REST, WORK-REST with little yoga sessions stuck in between.
I start to wonder is there more to life than just WAKE UP, WORK, REST?? Life is so pointless if we live just to work day in and day out. I was discussing this with my mom last night. I feel like I need something more than just work. I want to have fun... and not just after-work dinner with friends when we are all tired as hell. I yearn to have the same type of freedom when I was back in Vancouver, where I can drive to a beach and just sit there for a couple hours looking over to the other shore... or walking around and browsing in the fresh markets to buy groceries and fresh flowers and pastries... doing dine-outs with good friends on weeknights... or going to friends' backyard BBQs on weekend... grab a cup of coffee while shopping...etc.
Then my mom said something that just hit me...
"If you don't work hard, how can you do all the things you just said? All the things you did back in Vancouver was with our money so even when you were doing internships and part-times, those weren't real jobs. What you are doing now is really what other people are doing.... WORK. You are really WORKING now."
Sigh, work is not fun. Work takes a lot out of you (at least it took the 'carefree' out of me). I guess in order for me to be able to do what I used to do, I need to support it with money... and LOTS of it. My friends who recently came to visit me from Vancouver said I seem to have changed a bit. They feel like I am not as "ditzy" as before but now more mature. I guess not only am I growing into 30's, I feel the pressure of responsibilities on my shoulders as well. I can't be as carefree and idealistic as before. I understand that things cannot always go my way and I have to learn to accept it. Things cannot be forced and I need to learn to take them as they are. I don't know if work has changed me into a better and mature person, or changed me into a no-fun and mundane person...
I wish I can be 26 again...

I was at my best friend's wedding last night. I sat through the whole reception alone (because my friend had to leave for her dinner meeting). Everyone asked me where's my date and surprised to know I came with no dates. I think the news somehow spreaded out on its own...(as if there's a jackpot that was unclaimed or something...) My bride's friends are starting to tell me they know of some single AND decent guys and want to introduce me to... and a couple guys introduce themselves to me ... all surprised (or at least have the heart to pretend) to know that I'm single. One guy even said straight up that he thinks I'm beautiful. (?!?!?! ... Yeah, I know... I was shocked out of my skin. Flattered but at the same time, skeptical...)
Anyways, it was a fun night. Seeing my best friend marrying to a nice and caring guy, I couldn't be more happy for them. And then also having a round of ego-boost sure made my night. I didn't expect that I can even have the power to attract a bunch of late 20's guys (26 and 27 to be exact)... all decked out in suits... it was a fun night, getting all the attentions.
Hmmm... I think I should start wearing more dresses now...
Met some new people at a friend's drink thing on the weekend.
A guy friend of my friend said to me, "I don't know how your ex can leave you. He must be a fool."
The first thing that came out of my mouth was, "My ex said the EXACT same thing as you did before we dated... but he chooses to be a (air quote) 'fool' now. And I think he is totally alright with that."
It is actually quite funny to hear the exact same line but from a different guy's mouth. Maybe guys do think alike? Or it's just another cheesy pick up line?
