Evil Fur Ball

Something's wrong with the car. It's been making a lot of funny noises. And the car meters keeping swinging back and forth in the strangest manner. I absolutely hate car problems. I hate the thought of having to ride in a cab. Well, yeah, there's nothing wrong with riding a cab. But the cab drivers here are awful. They always think I'm new to the city and try to take the longest routes just so my bill would be sky high. I hate cab drivers who have no manners, picking their nose and driving while I'm inside and flicking it or wiping it on the seat (errrm.... I think I sat on something sticky!), I hate cab drivers who turn the music up so loud that they can't hear me when I'm giving them directions, or when I'm coming home late at night and the cab driver keeps looking at me from his mirror (creepy creep!).

So anyway, back to the topic. Imagine my surprise last week when I heard a different noise in my car. The engine was purrring. No, not the kind of purrr that you want to hear from your car. It was a purrrrr more like a meow meow meow. Mom and I got out and checked the hood of the car. And guess what we found inside. Not just one kitty cat, but two! They were just sitting there and they looked just as surprised as we did. I scared the cats away and they jumped off and scurried as far away as they could.

The next day, as I was doing my warm ups in the garage before getting ready for my usual jog I heard the meow meows again. And well, not as surprised anymore I saw the two cats, the same two cats as the ones I found the previous day. I got an umbrella and tried to scare them away. Geez, those cats are sooooooooo annoying. These are stray cats from our crazy neighbor who's got about a hundred stray cats and dogs.

On the way to the mall, I had to stop at the red light. Then the light turned green but the car wouldn't budge! Errrr! I blame it on the cats! They must've broken something in the hood of the car.

So I searched for a couple stuff online and learned that this is actually pretty common. People have found cats in the hood of their cars as well. This usually happens during the winter time, or if you're in Asia, this usually happens during the rainy or cold season. The cats usually climb up inside the hood of the car to keep themselves warm. Cute huh?! Well, it's cute to think about but not for me, after what they did to our car.

I found a solution to that problem. I read somewhere online that cats do not like citrusy scents and cayenne pepper. So I had our maid pulverize some cayenne pepper and scattered them under the car. And so far it's working. No more kitty cats! Yippeeee!

I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamed that cats are super evil and that they are trying to take over the world.

Reunited With An Old Love

It's been years and I had forgotten all about my old love. Last Sunday came and everything felt like it was yesterday. The place was beautiful. Flowers and lots of flowers everywhere, then there was a solemn walking trail that led to a peaceful creek, and there was also a butterfly garden that was just so amazing. The day couldn't have been more perfect.

My heart pounded faster and I could hear the beat growing louder and louder like a rolling thunder passing by. I grabbed hold of him and held him tightly against my chest. It's good to finally be reunited with an old love.

Wondering who my old love is? Well it's not exactly a who, but more of a what. It's my love for photography. I was hugging my camera with excitement. This place was a beauty. Only downside was that there weren't any tour guides so boyfriend and I had to take turns snapping solos of each other. Oh wait, we do have a picture together, it was snapped by one of the gardeners, but just one shot.

So, here's some of the pictures I snapped. Click on them to make em bigger. =)





When I got home I was so excited to transfer the pictures to my computer. Photoshop was also a great help in enhancing these pictures.I love photoshop! How'd I do? Anyone else reconnect/rediscover an old love or passion? What is it?

Have a great weekend guys! Mwah.

Next Time Don't Ask: TMI

Earlier today, a guy that I worked with came into the office looking all sweaty. I was a bit worried, he looked rather pale and he looked like he was out of breath. Since this guy was asthmatic I thought he was having an asthma attack.

I asked him what was wrong and he said he was alright. He just needed a couple minutes to catch his breath. Around 10 minutes had passed and he still didn't look alright. So my instincts as a nurse had gotten the best of me. I found myself sitting at his table literally nagging him to tell me what was wrong and that if he needed anything that I'm just here.

Drew threw his arms in the air and said, "Fine, you really wanna know?" Of course I said "YES!"

He told me, "I was really really really constipated but my stomach didn't feel to good. It took me forever to take a dump. Since I was constipated I had to really give it a good push." Then he smiled and told me that after a great number of pushes and a couple more deep breaths, inhales and exhales, he was finally able to poop. After he pooped, he realized that his hemorrhoid was bleeding! Ewwwwww... He pushed so hard he must have torn his hemorrhoid. Ewwww. I know this is a bit too much to mention isn't it?

So anyhow, that was why he was so pale and out of breath. And to top off the conversation, he ended it by saying, "Now I know what it feels like if I had become a woman and had to give birth!"....

So I was left feeling grossed out and as I plopped back on to my work area, I scribbled on my post it "NEXT TIME DON'T ASK!!!"

New: Name, Fears, and Bloopers

Last year I got a message in my CBOX (click to enlarge) and ever since, I've been thinking of changing my blog name. I'm sure the commenter meant to harm, he/she seems pretty friendly.

Anyway, since this is a New Year, I've been thinking about changing my blog name and blog address. What do you guys think?

6 days into the New Year and I've learned of a few things that scares me:

1.) I'm not as young as I used to be----- I bent over to grab a pen that I dropped and my back cracked! Oh my goodness! What the heck. This is definitely a sign of old age, mom says it's a sign that I'm wiser (old people=wiser people). I'm still in denial about this.

2.) In relation to the first realization, I've realized that I'm scared of growing old. Losing control over my bodily functions and becoming a burden to my loved ones. I realized I want to die young. Maybe in my late 50's.

3.) Everyone around me recently got engaged. Just last year I had a couple more friends who got married----- Marriage scares me, the thought of forever scares me.

Ok enough drama rama....

I've had my first blooper for the year. It's not as funny as my previous posts and klutsy moments but it is still a bit funny to me. So here we goooooo....

I got to hang out with my friend Kristal and her hubby of 6 months over Christmas break. This was the 3rd time I've met the guy so we aren't super close yet. So anyhow. Kristal brought her little 4 year old, neice Abby along. We stayed in their hotel room. I was catching up with Kristal while her hubby James played with Abby.
Abby suddenly ran over to me and showed off proudly her work of art. It was a bunch of cute doodles of hearts, smiley faces, and she also wrote "Abby", "pool" and "coffee". So most kids know how to write their names, no big deal. But I was really wowed that this little 4 year old could already spell out pool and coffee! I blurted out "wow, she know's how to spell pool and coffee". The three of them laughed and I had the stupidest look ever. I looked at them wondering what was so funny. Then Abby says (translate to english) " I didn't write that Auntie Mel, Uncle James did!"



Ooops sorry James. Which reminds me, boys have awful handwriting. Sorry boys! =)

Ok so that will be all for now folks.

P.S. I spoke with a client earlier and I was just dying to laugh. She sounded like a guy so I said Mister and she corrected me. Then I asked her what was the spelling of her name and she said G so I asked her if this was G like good and gulf and she said noooo G like Geebra (zebra). What?!

P.S. soooo do you guys think I should change my name and blog address? Any suggestions?
