Pointless and Random... SERIOUSLY.

So... I think my interview went pretty well.  It was for something that I have never done, so I am excited and nervous to hear back from them.  I don't want to say too much about it because I would hate to jinx myself.  You know what they say... "don't count your chickens before they hatch".  I'm crossing my fingers and toes and hoping that I get the job.  Thank you readers and friends for the good luck wishes!  Much appreciated!  *hugs*

As I was walking towards my apartment, sprinklers on both sides of me came on suddenly and I got pretty soaked.  Good thing I was heading HOME and nowhere else.  It was such a hot and beautiful day that I didn't mind it too much.  In fact, I got inside and couldn't help but laugh!  Again, it looked like it could have been a scene from a movie!  :)

My sweet Husband brought me to get something that I loooooove... sushi!  My two favorite rolls are still the Sexy Girl Roll (love the name) and the Unpopular Roll (I wanna make it popular).

Sexy Girl Roll - shrimp tempura and jalapeno on the inside, wrapped with mango and topped with a sweet and spicy sauce, masago, green onion, and crunchy flakes

Unpopular Roll - fried albacore, wrapped with avocado - don't know the sauces atop, but it was delish!

We ate so much because we ordered two of each and then some!  LOL!  Also decided to share a pitcher of beer, which took forever to finish.  I don't like the taste of beer, but I'd drink it just because... haha!  I am really lightweight now and got a bit tipsy after just one cup.  Lame, I know.  It took us forever to finish the pitcher!  The Lakers game was on (they lost) and surprisingly, I was getting into it too.  I guess the Lakers fan in Sam rubbed off on me and I somewhat am into the games too now.  I used to never watch any sports on TV and can only pay attention when I am actually at the games, but I guess I am learning.  I miss having a home team to cheer for (Seattle Supersonics).  I really hope we get them back so they can whoop these Lakers' ass and I can start talking smack to the guys here.  Haha!  Maybe thats why people don't like watching games with me on TV because I talk too much... too much smack.  OH... and I usually like to go with whichever team they are opposing just for a little competition and laugh.  I know I will get my butt kicked one of these days.  I'd better watch out!

Anyway... we came home and took a nap and then actually hit the gym together!  We tried to let the food set and sleep off our tipsiness (is that a word?), but I didn't sleep and watched "Say YES To The Dress" instead.  Sam woke up drunk... but he is a trooper and agreed to go to the gym anyway.  I didn't get to run the distance I had in mind because that beer was starting to come back up and was settling in my throat (gross, I know)... but I was so close!  Hey... at least I tried!

AND.... I can't believe this!  Even after the free panties I got last month and even after their 7/$25 panties sale, Victoria's Secret STILL sent this to me:


Really though... what are they trying to say?  That I need more underwear?  Not that I am complaining because I love free stuff and you already know I will be redeeming mine... but seriously?  LOL!  I hope they send me one every few weeks.  Thanks in advance, Victoria's Secret Angels!

Its the kids' spring break back at home and I wish I was there to spend the time with them.  I am secretly jealous of my Sister who lives so close to home (well, not really... a good three hours) and gets to visit them often.  I'm glad she is there though because we get along and she usually tells me what is going on back at home that my Mother tends to not tell me.  It used to be the other way around when I lived at home.  Haha!  I miss my Family... AGAIN.  I also miss my friends.  I haven't really seen any of them since I've been back.  I've also just been lazy and just wanna lay around at home and watch movies with my Husband every evening and fall asleep early... or really late after a very loooong conversation laying in bed.  I like having someone to talk to every night.  Actually, I like having someone to talk to at all times!  :)

Tomorrow is my first ever Yelp Elite event!  I'm soooo excited to take advantage of the free food and drinks and from the looks of it, there are going to be so many different businesses there catering to us "Elites".  I've heard great things about these parties, so that is why I am sooooooo excited!  Eeeep!  I mean... Yelpppppp!!

Okay... I know this post was probably meaningless and pointless, but oh well!  The randoms of me!  Have a great day, everyone!

If you need entertainment... THE GYM!

So we all know that my rendezvous with the gym doesn't happen very often. There are times when I am on rolls and hit the gym every day for at least three days straight (hey... thats a lot and an accomplishment for me). Since I've moved down to California though, it had not happened after many failed attempts because the gym that I have a membership with is too far and by the time we drive down there, it would be a workout in itself.

Finally though, Sam added me to his family membership thingy (although I still have my membership that is still withdrawing money... $30 every month for the past 8 months I haven't been there... what a dumb ass I am for not canceling... still not canceling but yet have the time to sit here and blog about it). We hit the gym two days straight... whoo hoo! That streak has to end because I am leaving today for almost a week. LOL... yep... another excuse! Anyway... I was so entertained and learned a whole lotta.

  • If you want to know the latest middle aged Cambodians of Long Beach gossip, just spend some time in the womens' locker room. I swear, within three minutes of peeing and washing my hands, I learned about a Husband cheating on his wife, a Sister who lost her house due to gambling, and another cousin who is upset at her friend for borrowing her car and getting it in a wreck. Holy crap... I couldn't help but giggle walking out of there. Not because of others' misfortune, but because I couldn't believe the information I heard in only two minutes. If I was to post the actual conversation in both languages, you'd have a good giggle too.
  • Ladies, if you are going to wear tight pants while working out, do not stray to lighter colors. In fact, to hopefully stay on the safe side, stick to black pants. After an intense 20 minute workout on the bike where your back and buttcheeks are pressed against the chair is bound to make you sweat. We do not need to know where you sweat, but the sweat stain on your crack is just screaming at us as you walk away. And yes, we are looking... we are ALL looking since our machines all face the same direction that you are walking towards.
  • Wearing makeup to the gym is not going to make you look cute. In fact, if you really are there to work out, then it will make you look worse... will make you look dirty. I can understand if you just left work and you still have some makeup on, but please don't make it too obvious that you just spent at least 15 minutes of your workout applying it. Its obvious and yes, we can tell. If you are there only to look cute and not break a sweat, then apply away!
  • PLEEEEEEASE wash your hands after the gym. Its gross. All those sweaty palms... and some of the guys who need to move around in their shorts (if you know what I mean)... all grabbing and touching and sweating their germs on the same machines that you are going to be grabbing next. Ick!
  • Deodorize. Please. I don't care how much you think the fan on that treadmill will prevent your sweat, you WILL sweat. And even if you can't see yourself sweating, the people next to you can smell you sweating. Please, please, please.

Oh man... two days at the gym and I am already b*tching about it. This is NOT a good sign.

The upside to the gym? I get to buy clothes and shoes with a new excuse, "to go to the gym".

I've tried many and this is one of my favorite work out shoes... or running shoes:


Asics Gel Kayano 13

I think I am due for a new pair because mine has been through quite a bit. Surprisingly, I might just get the same ones in a different color. (although I kinda like that Periwinkle color) Yeah, they are that good for me to want them again.

OH OH OH... and I got an invitation to be a Yelp Elite! LOL... I responded with a YES, YES, YES... and now waiting on approval from the higher beings in San Francisco. Wish me luck... I've been wanting to attend these Yelp parties with FREE FOOD for awhile. LOL... I'm serious.

SO much to do today and I promised myself to stay off the computer as much as I can. My To Do list seems never ending, but I guess its what I get for procrastinating. My plane leaves right when Sam is off work. Yikes!

Okay... maybe I will be back after cleaning, packing, cleaning, organizing, leaving things for Sam to work on and preparing a lot of his lunches and dinners (or try to). We shall see but wish me luck!

Teedaloo!!
