i'll admit: sometimes i'm averse to being around people, having to be polite and engaging in small talks. which is why i try my best to avoid situations like these and minimize my social outings with people i don't really know or care about. of course, this is nothing new if you've been reading my blog for awhile now, or if you know me in person. i'm not always like this (or so i think); sometimes i miss the younger bubbly self, but oh well. these days, that part of me only surface when it feels like it. :P
despite all that, my weekend has been eventful. attended a friend's bridal shower, it was a lot of fun. i don't know anyone else there except Sheena, of whom i went together with. but the girls were a fun lot. the whole event was carefully planned - you can tell - from the entrance that has the "action-cut take no.XX" cardboard (whatever you call it) to the red carpet to the Bollywood sign in the house with all the backdrop on a wall for picture-taking purposes and oh the props too. and then there's the stars of fame, just like the ones on Hollywood boulevard. as always i was in a hurry and left my camera at home. sorry no pictures :( might edit later if i can get a hold of Sheena's pictures.
then there's food! indian and greek food, all homemade by my friend's and a friend of hers' mom. i could go on and on about the food but i won't. all i can say is they were absolutely scrumptious i had a strong 2-second urge to wanna be their moms' goddaughter just so that i can eat those food whenever i want. :P on the tables there were magazines lying around, which they cleverly printed out the covers of well-known mags thoughtfully edited with headlines and pictures of all the attendees (all except me, because my friend wasn't my facebook friend and she couldn't steal my pics from fb *sobs*). :< ok i really need to get pics from sheena. words don't do the decor and food enough justice.
then there were games! won't go into details but it was definitely two thumbs-up for the girls who organized it. that's about it for the afternoon. we left at about 7-ish, dropped by the supermarket for some milk and fruits. the cashier attempted to compliment me but insulted pretty much all the other customers for their English level while he was at it, and then subsequently insulted me for my level of intelligence by trying to be funny. i can only think of him as odd.
rushed back home to change and went straight to jessom's birthday party at Tengu, West L.A. everyone was done eating by the time i got there. in a way that's good cuz i can't eat meat and seafood anyway, and it would be a tremendous torture to see them enjoying sashimi etc. i got to see raudee and joe; chean was in her own zone, jess too. :P they baked the bestest brownie kononnya, but forgot to save me a slice. :( so sad. but it's all good. all in all it was a fun but tiring day, had a headache due to the heat, so i called it a night and retired to bed early. i meant to do some reading and reflections when i got home that night but couldn't sit up straight let alone process anything in my mind. so that's that.
Sunday morning 8:30am - went jogging by the beach. jogged for less than 3 miles and i had a sudden urge to go toilet. had to rush home for that. lame. -_- after shower i raided the fridge in search of food for lunch. hereby comes the rant: as usual, the trash was full to the brim and who else but me is to be expected to take them out?! why can't they once do it out of courtesy! it's their trash mostly, with all the unfinished meat and whatnot that attracted flies and fruit flies, and boxes of Chinese take-out dripping with chili oil. all i contributed was sachets of 3-in-1 coffee packets and occasional tissue papers due to my runny nose. i tried. i really, really tried to not complain about this. but my patience is wearing thin, because every time they chose to sit their lazy asses in front of their laptops watching korean/chinese dramas over taking out the trash that won't even take more than 5 minutes, i suffer with 3 or 4 huge flies and dozens of fruit flies hovering around me. is it too much to expect from them? i don't even mind cleaning the kitchen after them and washing their dishes! and toilet! i keep asking myself, how can any girl be so frowzy and sloppy?!!!! i guess that'll be one of the biggest mysteries of the universe. one can only wonder.
Sunday 1:30pm. Took out trash, off to work. Except I couldn't back up my car from garage because some retarded driver decided to park his black Prelude right in the middle of the narrow road!!!! At that point I had all the cuss words at the tip of my tongue ready for spillage if the driver decided the show up. lucky for him, he didn't. too dumb of me, i should've spat on his car or into his car (he left both his car windows unwound). so i went to Pep Boys thinking it might be their customer's car, and was hoping they could get him to move it. or something. this asian guy helped me page him while i stood there for 5 minutes waiting for the driver, but to no avail. so i went back into the office to ask if anyone came to them. this other chunky fox-lookalike asshole (who on a previous encounter ignored both me and another customer's existence who had been waiting in line for a while but tended to a lady with boobs the size of melons the minute she walked in) shrugged and walked away. wtf!!!! i absolutely abhor him and if it weren't because of the fear of God and the consequences of bearing ill wishes towards others, i'd have wished that he be plagued with leprosy and die alone and then be sent to hell. i'll probably be sent to hell as well for this thought, but i don't really mean it. writing it here is merely an expression of my frustration and fury at that moment. there. now that i've said it, i felt much better. and no, i don't mean a word of it. it's not the first time i came across inconsiderate people like him, and i'll probably meet more of the same kind in the future. note to self: i really should learn to be indifferent to people like this and control my emotions.
anyway. the Prelude owner didn't show up, so i had to squeeze my way out. took me quite a while but i managed. if i'd done it earlier, i wouldn't have to see that fox face and invoke such distasteful emotions in me. 2nd mental note to self: always depend on self to solve the problem first. i got to work in time, but was still flustered and chafed. thank god the rest of the evening was rather peaceful.
got home after work, having a cup of hot Milo with some Ritz crackers. going to continue working on my application. so, after all these rants, i've decided not to write about them - the roommates and the flies - anymore in the future. i'll just have to live with it. or find a place to move.
