PVP

So many people ask me WHY I love playing World of Warcraft.  I was never able to say it simply in words... I was never able to describe my feeling of joy and excitement when I'm in battle.

And then I saw this picture.

Ahh.... a picture speaks a thousand words.


that's you in the front, btw.

Insomnia!

The past few days have been hard on me. I haven't been able to sleep. Most likely it's due to the fact that the time difference is so huge that when I wake up its 1 or 2p.m. in the afternoon. 

Also, I have a lot of stuff to think about.  I have a business trip coming up that I need to be prepared for.  Having a business trip in between your vacation is kind of strange.  You can't really get into the vacation mode, and then you can't really get into the working mode.  How odd.

Anyway, I went to Target again today. Why is Target so awesome? I got workout shorts for 1.48$. Yes. THAT LITTLE.  Isn't it insane?  And to think it's cheaper than China!!!!!!! We are experiencing a revolution here, boys and girls.

Meh... I guess not

So I returned the boots.  Meh.

I was looking around the mall to day and there wasn't that many people. You'd think in a crappy economy there'd be even less people though.  They say this is the worst economy in years but it didn't seem to stop people from buying $200 dollar Coach bags.  Meh.

I just want to stay home and play WoW and relax these days.  Going out seem to be such a big hassle. There's a lot of things I need to take care of around the house..... time is running out.  I better get my act together and start with all my errands.  I was tempted to go to Japantown to check out the new building that was recently remodeled.  Supposedly it has tons of imported goods. I'm a sucker for Japanese snacks, makeup, and oddities so I tend to gravitate to these areas --- but I really have to control myself.

It sucks when your common sense gets the better of you.  Or was that guilt after you spend a lot of money on random items? Maybe a bit of both. 

Keeping myself locked to WoW prevents me from my horrible spending mistakes!

$250 dollar Diesel boots

So, I feel guilty.  Right after I got off the plane I went to Diesel and blew about $450 dollars on a dress, boots, and a scarf.  The boots was $250usd in itself.  Usually I don't spend so much money on clothes but I really needed flat boots...without the heel. I have to walk alot this year because of where the company is located, so all that walking hurts my feet every morning.  Which is why I needed the boots.

But $250 dollars?! Really?!!?!?!?!

I've thought about returning them allllllll day because I feel so guilty.  :( 

However, when I go back to China I know they have crappy boots there with horrible designs.  Ugh.
I hate shopping.

ViVa America

Ah..... how beautiful the US is.  How clean the weather, how nice the green mountains are, how tall the trees stand.  So, so, so, nice.

I love you, America.

And I love the availabilty of the internets, the free unhindered speed of surfing the net in the US is equivalent to warp speed in Star Trek.

oh I love you, America the beautiful... how free your internets are.

Apartment Hunting once again

I tend to move every year. That's because I get restless and I haven't found a place I love 100%, so I always think there are better places.  This time, I'm going to look until I find a place I really, really, really, love.  Good thing I'm starting early.

I don't plan to move from this place for at least 2 years... so I'm hoping I'll find some place that I can really settle down in for at least 600days. haha.  However, what I'm mostly concerned about is the neighbors.  How much they remodel, how clean they are, what their hygiene habits are -- really affect the complex.  In the past several years, I've lived in both good and bad places.  It's really about the people. 

Taxi Drivers

More specifically, Shanghainese taxi drivers piss me off.

Me: Take me to XXXX.
(drives to the cross street)
Driver: We're here.
Me: I want to go to #555. 
Driver: We passed it.
Me: So turn around.
Driver: You only said XXXX.
Me: I said XXXX because that's the street. Now I want to go to building #555.
Driver: But you didn't say that when you got in the car.
Me: Take me to #555.
Driver: I can't now.
Me: Because you're too lazy to make a U-turn?
Driver: Because you didn't say it when you got in the car.

*bitch mode -- ACTIVIATED*

Me: Look here, you idiot, WHAT IS YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION.
Driver: .....
Me: WHAT IS YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION!!
Driver: hmph. 
Me: I'll tell you what your JOB is.  YOUR JOB is to take ME wherever the hell I want to go. If I say I want to go to Mongolia, you shut the fuck up and you take me there. If I say I want to go to AMERICA, you shut the fuck up and TAKE ME THERE. I don't fucking care if you gotta pull a dammned rubber raft out of your fucking asshole but you damn well better take me there. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Driver: You should have said the number when you got in the car.
Me: Shut the fuck up and make a fucking U-turn. NOW.

(Makes a U-Turn and drives to the right building)
Me: You see how easy that is? Now here's your damn money and have a nice day.


Ugh. What a fucktard.  Stupid lazy Shanghainese taxi drivers.
