Until I leave Taiwan for San Francisco, CA!!!! California, here I come!!

Expecting very nice weather.

Yeah, haven't wrote in xanga for so long. What can I say...life has been busy and...well, not much to report.

• I'm still the same weight as last reported - around 108 lbs.
• When my period is here, I don't really get those painful aches anymore.
• I turned 26 and I spend my birthday with friends who love to sing at PartyWorld KTV.
• I got a new purse during my trip to HK for the computer show - Loewe bag in pink.

• I wear corsets every work day. They're there...so I gotta wear them. I even got matching slimming pants to go with the corsets.
• I've been drinking collagen drinks everyday and eating pearl powders every night - all cuz I want better-looking skin. Is my skin looking better? Yeah, somewhat. I'm still working on it.
• Definitely been lazy about working out. I still want to get rid of those fat on my thighs.
• I love my hairstyle right now - so easy to take care of! I am thinking of straight hair next though...so we will see. Check out my current hairdo.

Yes, big curls and lots of volume.

• Mochi and Pika got skinny, fat, and now they're kinda normal...they're still a handful.

The dogs - Mochi, Gucci, Pika - dressed up for Chinese New Year. My dad gave them all red envelops too - NT$1000 each. Lucky dogs.

Time to have sex.

Hahaha...that's the first thing I think of when speaking of spring.

We're suppose to get wiser as we grow older. But I've realized we communicate less as we grow older as well.

What is wise about not wanting to communicate with those around you?

Too tired?

Believing that "talks" never solve the problem, so why bother?

The sad reality is:

Age means complication, and complication does not add up to happiness.

This is why children are always happy.

And adults are...well, sad.

Just bought a new cell phone yesterday.

Sony Ericsson w910i

I've started to like Sony Ericsson's cell phones this past year. I've been using my w960i this past year, and as great as it is, I just don't like the touch screen. This may be why I have never considered using an iPhone. I don't use all the functions that comes from a PDA phone, so a more simple phone is much preferred.

Marco is renewing his cell phone contract, so he gets to choose a new phone with discounts. He already bought a new phone, so he decided to buy me a new phone with this discount! Yay!

Introducting my new phone:

Most people bought the red or white one, but I really like the brown and gold~ this will match most of my purses! Oh, and of course...how often do you see a brown phone? This is all me trying to be unique, that's all. Hahaha.

I'm so excited...new toy! 

My cute babies.

Girls they are.

Not very ladylike.

Haha...looking at these pictures always crack me up.

You said you still read this blog once in a while. So here is my update.

Life is good. Busy, but good. Or should I just say, it's better. A lot better.

Everyone said the economy is horrible right now. As for us, we're doing alright. Old clients ordering new things. New clients interested in our products. So many orders making our factory work overtime.

So work is good for the most part. Still so many things to learn and so much crap to worry about. I'm going to learn about ISO in the next month. That seems a lot for me to handle right now because I don't think my brain functions as fast as before...so let's hope I'll be able to absorb all the stuff.

Love.

Things are good. I can't say great. Mainly because I don't want to curse myself by thinking everything is awesome then it suddenly turns bad. And also because well...good is enough for now. I don't want to be greedy.

Marco and I are living together now. We also work together. We met each other's parents. His family make me feel like a part of their family when I'm over. My family let him hang out with us and go on outings with us. Other than marriage, I think we pretty much have everything together.

At times, I still feel we can't communicate. Communication is the key right? Apparently, we don't have that. I feel so misunderstood when we fight. I only meant well, but he didn't think so.

Besides all the bad stuff, he does treat me well, especially the last few days. I don't know if it's from having less expectation due to Valentine's Day, but he was extremely gentle towards me. Ever since I let him go out on Friday night to hang out with his friends~and he told me he will go home afterwards~which made me think my Valentine's Day is down the drain...but he came back to my house that night after KTV. The whole weekend we hung out. Nothing extravagant, but I was content.

Content is real good.

I'm starting to accept the fact that having things plain and simple keeps happiness around longer. Passion is awesome. It's GREAT. But really, they never lasts. They're just like fireworks.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!!

Helen made this. Haha.

I should be pushing myself.

Why am I not doing that?

I should be thinking...

but why am I not letting myself to just think?

I can think...but I avoid thinking.

Yeah, so my phone got smashed today and it doesn't work. Which means, all my friends' phone numbers...they're all gone with it.

So, please don't hate me if I don't call you.

However, for those who are going out to dinner on Monday with me in the bay area, please call me! Irene, Sharon, Jeff...please call. Hopefully I'll find you guys on gChat or something.
