another pet peeve
The toilet auto-flushing while you’re sitting on the toilet.
The toilet auto-flushing just after you carefully laid down the toilet seat cover. ARGH!

message to myself
What is it about stress? Can anyone in the corporate world ever be stress free? For as long as I can remember, stress and worry had always motivated me to move faster, work harder, be better. Now it just makes me lazy. It’s turned me into an anxious, nail biter who stands still, afraid to take the next step. What happened?
The last couple times this happened, I just sat at my desk,...

my sf trip
With a couple sips of my cafe sua da, I was ready to go to SF for my Laura Mercier makeup appt.

For two months with me and my mom nagging him to...
quiet house
I’m sitting at home on the futon, answering emails and checking up on the news. It’s completely quiet in the house with just the sound of clacking keys until I stopped typing and noticed other sounds. Sigh, I totally miss this.

Restroom pet peeves
Things that annoy me when using a public restroom:
Choosing a stall that someone just used. (why am i always wrong?!)
Taking my time to use a toilet seat cover only to have it fall into the toilet as I sit down..
Not having anything to read
Someone choosing the stall right next to me even though there are other free stalls
pretty sure i have more to add. i’ll update later.
finally got the courage to try...
…Pho with beef. I felt a strong craving for it this morning and got a friend to go with me. BUT, during the 2-3hr wait until lunchtime, the craving slowly died. The urge to enjoy msg-loaded broth and some moo just plain died and got replaced by some terrible images I saw in PETA brochures. Anyways, I said I would go so I went. When it was time to order, all I could do was point at #47...
