  •    I went to my friend’s wedding yesterday. It was so crowded and I thought to myself that I wouldnt want that many people for my wedding that doesnt do any good for the bride and groom. There were people that the bride and groom dont know them at all, and I feel strange about that.


        Here are some pictures from last night.

  •   Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!


       It’s Thanksgiving day and I have too work. Nothing to do so I decide to take clients in. I miss last year’s Thanksgiving. It was not a very special Thanksgiving but it was special enough that I got to spend the holiday with someone I love. This year, Thanksgiving dinner at my Auntie’s with no Turkey.

  •   They’re playing Christmas songs on the radio. The malls are decorated with Christmas trees. How come I dont feel like Christmas at all? Where is my Christmas spirit? Mandy asked me what I want for Christmas. Poor little M, she doenst know what I want and she cant get me what I want. The thing I want is priceless, no one can get it for me. Can Santa do so????

      My ex called me this morning. We talked for a little bit and then the “Dating” subject came up. He sighed… “Since I was with you, I cant be happy with anyone now. She is not like you. No one is as sweet as you was.” hahahah… People were born to be different. No one is alike and that makes the world we live in now. As long as she is not sweet with other guys, everything is ok. Everyone should learn to accept and love what is availble in your loved one.

        Last night my buddy came over to help me with moving the fridge. He told me he’s getting married on Valentine’s day. Wow, everytime I turn around, a friend of mine is married. He told me to speed up before everyone has kids. I told him that It’s all ready but the only thing is missing a groom.

    A picture I want to share with you guys. I can never understand his pose. It was taken by Thierry Canini, a famous french photographer who took pictures for Versace, Christan Dior, Guess, and models like Naomi Cambell, Claudia Schiffer… I still dont understand why he made me wear that cheesy red jacket while I had so many nice clothes. And the girl in the background???

  • AT WORK


       Since my sister moved to Cali, I’ve been working hard. I finally found someone nice, trustworthy and good skilled to work for me. She can help me a lot. I dont have to worry so much anymore. Today, i’ve  shopped, ordered supplies and equipments to set up a new room for her.  Maybe I can even make some time off work to take more make up lessons. I found some real talented make up artist who I can learn from. Hope he wants to share his skills with me and doesnt charge too much.


     




        I’m craved for oysters with lots of lemon juice and tabasco sauce. I kept thinking about it last night. Cant wait to get off work and get some of those. Yummmm… good dinner.


     



      


        My best friend called me in the morning and begged me to help her finding a dress that she can wear for the first dance at her wedding. Gosh, this girl has been asking for too much. I told her I’m gonna do her hair, make up and the 3 bridemaids’ as well with FREE of charge. And now, she wants me to shop around and pick out the dress for her. Well, I guess that’s what friends are for. Also, she is the next to last in the group that is married.( Guess who is the last?). After her, I dont have to do this anymore.


       Remember 3 years ago when my best friend from high school got married and I didnt have any money for her. I was still in school and didnt worked at that time, so I had to sell my used books to the school book store and made exactly $200, just enough to give her. Good thing was that I was her bridemaid and also helped out with doing hair and make up for the family.


       All of my girl friends got married and I’m still with my own shadow. They often ask me how come I dont find someone and settle down with him. My problem is that I dont just settle down with anybody, it must be somebody for me. And it is not easy for me to find that somebody.It’s happened to me that ones who love me that I dont love, or one who I love til death that doesnt love me. What can i do?  


        Well, to all the people out there who found/ find the love of their life: gotta treasure the moment and the other and do your best to keep your love alive.

  •     I woke up this morning feeling dizzy and sored on my throat. I felt like I was about to have a cold or a flu like I often get every year around this time. But then I thought to myself that I can not get sick nor I dont allow myself to be sick. I have so much to do. I have a baby to take care of, a business to run… What if I get sick? Who’s gonna do all that I have to do. Then I went into the kitchen to make myself a hot bowl of rice congee and took some medicine afterward. My sister in Cali called me in the afternoon and asked if it’s difficult for me to take care of her baby. I really wanted to admit that is is damm hard, but then I dont want the baby living with her while she doesnt have much time for him.

  •   My buddy and I have a talk about love since he tells me that he will ask his girlfriend the ”Will you” question this weekend. We both agree that things come to you when you least expect, especially love. I met this one guy and never thought that he could be the one. I had been in relationships before that but never was in love once til I was with this guy. Love came to me when I didnt expect it, but then it left me when I even least expected. Well, it’s been a while since we broke up but there’s not a day that i dont think of him. Through him I learn the meaning of love which I never knew before. Even though I still have feelings for him but I dont look for to be with him again. I hope that he finds his happiness.

  •   Babysit someone’s baby if you cant have one


        I dont know why but I love kids so much. Wait, wait… dont get me wrong. I dont want to have kids for my own YET. Last weekend, my friend from Orlando took her baby, Alex, here to see me. Gosh, that boy is BIG for his age. He is such a sweetie.. He didnt want to be with anyone but me. Everything came out of his mouth was all about Rachel. ” I want to go with Rachel.. I want to sit next to Rachel.. I’m cute like Rachel.. I’m good looking like Rachel….” What a sweet talker! We went out to a karaoke bar. He didnt go on stage with anyone but he only went on stage with me while i sang. After the song, he gave me the best compliment I’ve ever had “Rachel, you sing so good. I like your singing” I love that boy.


       I volunteer to help out my older sister by keeping her 2 and a half year old baby while she is busy with her project. I havent seen my nephew for three months since they moved to California. He will be back next week to stay with me for a couple months. I’ll be handful with that boy and work but I am more than happy. People keep reminding me that’s a lot of responsibility but I know I can do anything if i want to. This week I will have to go to find him the best day care around the area, go shopping to buy stuffs for him, clean up the house, and get ready to be a Mommy. No more South Beach, no more Lincoln Mall, no more Bal Habour  :(


      Maybe I dont need to go on a diet. With this much work that I have to do, I can lose weigh easily. (What an excuse, I still need to lose 10lbs by December. No matter what).


    This is Alex, one of my loved babies
