This is a self absorbed post

Don’t say I did not warn you.

While I was talking to my cuz yesterday, it strikes me that it was indeed a dramatic (kind of) day. Well, not really, but you’ll get the hang of it once I explain it.

Finding out one of my favorite pair of shoe is missing, and when my curiosity leads me to another discovery that left me speechless.

Money taints friendship if you let it get inside your head and run you down, and eventually you will become a nameless road kill.

That is beside the point; however, if you happen to find out that your friend is unethical cunning “well intentioned” to a point that in order to commercialize their skillset as a trade, suddenly you are the pawn in their business strategy. If they would have told you about it is fine, but if you suddenly discover that your wedding slideshow in on youtube without your consent or a courtesy fyi to you from the said person who posted it, it kind of left a bad taste in your mouth, and worse, a slight tinge of disappointment.  

So in order not to make situation fugly, you just keep quiet about it and did not confront the culprit.

Now dear readers, THIS is very unlikely of ME!!

But then again, the said person is not actually my friend, but rather kh’s. So I guess I’ll just be contend with the role of a meek housewife. Hehee… Oh ya, did i tell you that the said person brought along his dslr to the wedding dinner (mind you, we did not hire him as a photographer), and said he just take pictures for fun and will give us, and ended up giving both kh and I low resolution pictures because we decided not to engage his wife’s photodesign and photobook services? Was i wrong in the first place to assume that normally friends who took pictures at  your wedding will give you pictures in their original or better resolution because that is just the things friends do. Apparently, my wisdom 2cents regarding life’s experiences failed me in this. Bah!!

no food + late for movie

March 20, 2008

Yesterday was a hectic day, rushing from one end to the other. First of all, they said the units will come in at 2pm, and we are required to send the first cut analysis at 4pm.  And YET it reached pg site at 4.45pm. Good lord, I have a movie at 6.50pm!! So there I was rushing like mad woman trying to finish up the tasks on hand and by 630pm I am almost done and leaving office with yy. And on the way to qb, the road was kinda jammed up with cars and retarded drivers but we managed to reach by 645, although parking took us an awful 10mins resulting in us being late and kh n Stanley waiting for us with our orders. I felt no liking for gsc hotdogs therefore I had already called ahead to ask kh to buy both me and yy a box of tako balls, a cup of corn and some wedges. I was so hungry but the thought that I can eat all those stuff while watching spiderwick kinda appeases my grumpiness!! By the time yy and I reached gsc, its was nearly 705pm. But I took comfort in knowing that gsc NEVER starts the movie on time. There is always half hour of repeated adverts and some movie trailers and that always cost 15-30mins of the patrons’ time.  So the first thing I said to kh and stan when I reached was “I am sorry for being late” and “faster stuff the food in my bag (tako ball + wedges). There is the “no outside food policy”. Then stan said there is no need for that as they put it together with the hotdogs. But I was thinking it was kinda obvious and wondering how are we gonna get away with it. The tako balls boxes wasbasically screaming for attention!! But I just dropped the subject because stan said they wont stop us, and THAT was the mistake I made, cos I never insisted to stuff those food in my bag! Talk about having faith when it is likey to happen. I guess being famished clouded my judgement. -_-

We were stopped by the gsc girl on our way in and she confiscated our food!! My fucking food! (oh well, mine + yy’s) and both of us are left with only a cup of gsc corn to devour. I was so bloody pissed when the girl stopped stan that I just walked ahead without uttering a word with annoyance clearly plastered on my face and smoke literally out of my ears!! Imagine being hungry and to be deprived of food!! L

Kh knew I was pissed beyond words when I walked off and he tried to catch up with me, trailing meekly behind me ( well, he was never meek, I just wrote that to exaggerate ;p) when we were seated, he offered me half his hotdog, so I got a cup of corn to eat and a hotdog. Pity yy, she only had a cup of corn.  And pity kh too, he only got half of the hotdog. That cant be enough for him!! (That smart ass said its ok for him to be hungry, but not ok for me… aww.. how sweet can you get in moments of bleakness J) I feel so bad. And I now knew that next time, I shall always INSIST to have my way when it comes to smuggling food into gsc.  

p/s: and you know what sucks most? We missed first part of the movie by a few minutes. I don’t know why the hell they started on time for this movie!! I was nearly reduced to tears…..for all the bad things that just happened………..Sob sob L

i dont blame the gsc fella for confiscating our food cos clearly we are wrong, I was just pissed cos I did not insist on hiding the food in my bag!! who the hell I think we are to commit crime such blatant disregard against the rules in broad daylight -_-

on a lighter note, having kh around always makes things better in moment of bitterness :)
