AlwaySane Is In Da House

I was trying to wait till May 11 before I post my next post. Then it will be exactly a month from my previous one. But I think I owe Jer a post since he noticed that I haven't been posting for a while so Jer, this post is a post written especially for you!

Anyway, it has been a whirlwind ride for me this month. There are things I did, things I need to do, and things that I swear I will never do again. It is hilarious but I always end up doing crazy stuff! Oh, my friend Gusdoc comes online.... let me say hi....

................................

Ramblings.....ok, back to my life. I will attempt to include some organization here so you won't go crazy.

1. Bangkok
If I have a choice, I will MIGRATE there. That place is paradise. I had the best foot massage, the most awesome green curry and shopping was simply MAGNIFICENT! I was utterly blown away by the number of shops! NO SPACE IS SPARED. It's like, if there's a molehill, they will build a mountain on top of it and sell bags and hotdogs there. This time I'm a little choosy when it comes to shopping. I'm not like previously where I attacked every shop. This time, I choose my targets wisely. Then I'll charge at them and will not let go of their necks unless they give me a 30% discount. This way I can bargain less, buy more good stuff and have more money to spare! I bought 4 skirts, 4 tops, countless belts, a pair of shoes (which are broken now so never ever buy shoes from bangkok), tons of earrings (even though I don't wear them but they are just so cute!!!), bags, lots of chocolates etc. And I got to watch a Thai movie called Promise Me Not. It's about a couple that can't be together because of their background and how it took them 3 million years to get together in their next life. I know, it's lame but the actor's cute. And yes, I laughed through the ads and I stood during the national anthem. I also went for my very first foot massage and MAN, I'm going back! Not only are they good, they are courteous, professional, and ambience is soothing (with great music) and the price is so CHEAP! I mean, $30 for 2 hours! I LOVE BANGKOK...

2. Grad school
I just sent my bank letter to the school. Apparently, the embassy needs to know that my daddy can financially support the rest of my education before they issue the visa. Do you know that getting the bank to release a letter stating the account balance costs $20? I feel cheated... So, now I am waiting for the visa application to pull through.

3. Housing
Too many changes. The lease for one of the apartments is still with me. The landlord of the house that I want to stay in suddenly develop cold feet and "may not be comfortable renting the house out to someone whom they haven't met". So they are taking some time to think about it and will revert to me about WHETHER they can accept me as a tenant. This is so confusing... And I've got another offer which is slightly more expensive than the other two but I've got good vibes about the people staying there. They seem cool, at least judging by the way they write. I am still thinking through the options and going where I feel most comfortable with. I may simply go with the one with the lowest rent and live without a living room for 2 years.

4. Work
My boss is away for ONE MONTH! I am FREE! I am LIBERATED! I am SWAMPED WITH WORK! My boss left for the states last night and is now, I believe, happily cruising the sky. Here I am, working my ass off, and getting lots of "Please can you help do this now??" from the other people. God, I miss it when she's around.. Before she left she semt me an email asking to practice taichi... For those who don't know, it simple means learning how to push the job to the others. But I always find it hard to do that because a) i'd rather get things done myself and b) i simple have no choice because the person who pushed the job to me is extremely powerful. I've also hinted to her rather obviously that she can buy some Victoria's Secrets body lotion back for me...as a compensation for leaving me ALONE.

5. Dance
I'm officially going mad. I am taking salsa, rumba and merengue all in the same week. But the good thing is I am not getting confused! Like, I don't start going 1,2,1,2 in salsa (which goes 123,567)... But this is so fun! I love dancing and especially learning all the new moves. It was so challenging when the advance dancers ask me to dance with them and when I can execute the moves, I was on cloud nine! There was this girl who walked towards me and told me I danced very well. I was stunned, and for a moment I thought I was dreaming. Then I realized I'm not dreaming. Maybe the girl was dreaming...Anyway, yah, I was so happy that night I couldn't really sleep... Haha... This week will be helluva dance week. And there's a ballroom and latin competition this sunday. I'll be there to support and at the same time get mesmerized and dream that one day, I'll be like them.

6. Distance
I have made up my mind to be a loner, at least around a certain group of people. I just feel there's a need for me to get myself distant from them. This is something I'll talk to you more, Jer. I just feel like I'm not doing the right things and people around me just get irritated. It dawned on me that maybe I'm the problem. So, I'll get away and forever hold my peace. (This sounds a bit confusing but don't worry, you'll get the big picture in the mail.)

7. Brazil
I Am Dreaming About Going to BRAZIL! I was talking to Gusdoc and we basically set a date to see each other in DECEMBER! It will be awesome! He will bring me to the beaches and dance salsa and forro all day and night long! And then if time permits, we'll go to New York! This will be a great December! Hey Jer! Any chance of us meeting? I'll be really close to Canada!

Here you go, my not-so-private post to Jer, and whoever is interested to read... Normal posts will be available as soon as I get some inkling as to what to write.

Out.

I love you Mommy!
