Sh*t Happens

It's just one of those days that you really don't happen in real life that you only see happen on sitcoms, but today was just one of those days where nothing just goes your way. Considering it is tax season so I really don't have the time to blog about what I've been up to but today was just one of those days where you just have to rant about it.

9:00 AM - Woke up to hear that a crook broke into my parent's shop through the office window, which is pretty dumb because it's a sweat shop so obviously there's nothing of value in there besides womens' clothing. There's no cash, there's no computer equipment, there's nothing. The dumb crook actually thought the golden Buddha statue was made of real gold so he decided to snatch that but once he brought it outside, he realized it was not made out of gold so he left it infront of the shop.

9:15 AM - Blanked out and forgot to stop at the bank to deposit some checks so I had to backtrack and head back to the bank.

9:30 AM - Stuck in traffic on the way to work because of a two cars decided to get into a car accident on the freeway and once I passed the accident, one of the debris decided to lodge itself into my front tire and thus I had a flat tire. Luckily the car was able to still drive fine on the freeway and was really unnoticeable but I knew something was wrong because the tire light popped up and I was not moving as fast as I should be. Unlike my previous busted tires while driving on my other cars, this flat was really pleasant because the drive didn't become rocky like my previous experiences.

10:00 AM - Made my exit and turned right into the tire shop. The tire dude went to check if he could repair the tire but the debris made a huge gash in the tire so it was busted beyond repair so I had to get a new tire.

11:00 AM - Coworker stole my client.

12:00 PM to 7:00 PM - Clients kept on wanting to make changes to their taxes because they did not want to owe any taxes or wanted a bigger refund.

7:30 PM - Still stuck with a fat tax bill.

9:00 PM - Went to wash the towels and found out that somehow the laundry detergent spilled all over the top of the washer machine so now there's a big soapy mess.

12:00 AM - Parents came home so now I can't watch any anime.

12:30 AM - Booked the room for Vegas and got 3 nights comp. :)

Self Respect

Don't give a damn about what others think and regain back your self respect. /truth

The New Age of Dawn

You cannot forgive those who do not ask for forgiveness. You should not waste your time on other people's bullshit if they cannot spare the time for yours. You should pick the weeds out of your life and then the sun will shine and your garden will grow. You should always stay true to your beliefs and not follow the crowd. You are you, and they are mindless idiots. Farewell 2013.

Haiyan Typhoon Changes Course

I didn't really follow the news surrounding the Haiyan typhoon until I overhead at a party that the typhoon was heading towards my island but luckily averted and changed course. If it had hit the island then the whole population would have died because there is nowhere to hide and nowhere to go since the closet place around would be a 6 hour boat ride to the mainland but only if conditions allowed the trek. The last resort option would be to pay for a chartered helicopter but even that is not an easy task since you need special permission but luckily my parents were able to hitch a ride one time when they were stuck on the island due to typhoon season. Last I heard, the death toll was around 1,600 Filipinos but now I hear the estimate could be over 10,000 because like 5,000 was from one island alone. Catastrophe after catastrophe and this is all because of what mankind has done to the world. The end of civilization would either be brought on by either mankind or the impact that mankind has done to nature.

Taeyang's Ringa Linga

The Korean Usher is finally back with his newly released single, Ringa Linga. It's a much different style than from his first album which is reflected by his attire. This flashy wild trend of fashion is fairly common with members of YG, which for my taste is great for music videos but for everyday style is just over the top and tacky. I like the clean cut and well dressed Taeyang from the Wedding Dress days better than present rope dread and ghetto street kid Taeyang. I think that's the peculiar thing about Kpop style, when they debut they are either dressed cute or well dressed in suit and tie but for their next album, they tend to go more urban or wild color patterns which seems fairly childish to me. I would expect as you grow then you should be more mature in your style and music because nothing is more creepy than old people trying to dress like teens.

In other news, being the shopaholic that I am for snow swag, I spotted a sale on thermal linings so I snagged up a few for my mom, sister and myself. I was going to buy a pair for my sister in law until I remembered I know nothing about her. I did not know her size or build so I decided to forgo a pair for her although it would of been a good article of clothing for her since this will be the first time she will experience a cold winter.

Dear Stranger

The anticipated moment is finally coming although I haven't decided how I should feel about it yet until the day finally arrives. I will finally meet this so called sister in law of mine when my brother comes back from Vietnam. After speaking with my little siblings, it makes sense that we all feel indifferent about this event because we have no connection with my brother's wife. My parents are excited because their first daughter in law is finally coming and they have met and talked to her plenty of times whereas we have no clue about anything about her nor spoke to her before. The way I see it is that they have been married for a few years now knowing that one day she will be moving here and yet neither my brother nor herself made any attempt to speak with any of us. If she doesn't give a flying fug about us then we shouldn't care about her either and my idiot brother never even spoke about her to us either so basically she's nothing more than a stranger. I understand my brother is not the type of person that is capable of speaking or expressing his feelings but we should once hear from him that his wife name is blah blah because we all know her name isn't my brother's wife. After my father picked me up from the airport, we were discussing a few things and he just had to point out that I should be nice to her. I could care less about her at this moment and I can play nice as long as she doesn't get in my way because I run this bish, this is my house. However, hearing my mother speaking with her over the phone, she seems either soft spoken or as ignorant as my brother. I had always wanted a verbally strong woman for him because he can't seem to do that for himself so we'll see how they complement each other. 30 Awesome Photos
