to lex with disappointment

I went to watch Superman Returns with the gang last night. Not my girls. This is the boys gang that I hang out with occassionally for movies, river cruises, more movies, parties, cinemas, movies. Okay, I'm getting repetitive.

If you haven't watch this movie, good. Don't even think about going to watch it. Keep up the good work. Bravo!

If you decided to go against my advise, well... You will find yourself wasting $15 to sleep in an uncomfortable chair. God, what is Lex Luthor trying to do? Taking over the world which a scheme that doesn't even make any sense. If billions of people died, what's the use of having lots of money?

If I may add, I'm quite a big fan of Lex Luthor but not this time around. He just kinda sucks this time. Bleh!

soccer, football...ice-cream!

I've not been getting enough sleep. It wasn't because of staying up late watching the World Cup but rather, watching Stewie taking over the world. Yep, it's the Family Guy!

I think I've gone past the football phase since a couple of years ago. Yes, I call it football regardless what AFL fans say. I grow up watching footie with Pa since I was a little girl. Back then when Ryan Giggs was still gorgeous and Andrei Kanchelskis was still around.

Now I don't even watch footie. I guess I'm just no longer interested. Probably because Pa is in a different continent. I bet on them though. Hey, that's the best part I reckon! -.-

I've been binging on ice-cream so much that even when I have running nose, I still continue to eat it. Non-stop. Winter is really bad. It's making me fat.

I have to admit I'm still thinking about Nonna. How I saw her the other night when I said my final goodbye to Nonno. She was weeping. She has spent most of her life with him, I can't imagine how will she cope now that he is gone forever. Isn't it amazing that there are old couples around who still love each other so much? Despite the fact that I don't really believe in marriage, people like Nonna and Nonno have proven me wrong, for once.

So I told S to spend more time with his Nonna and Nonno. He thought I have gone crazy for telling him that out of a sudden.

That aside, I probably am crazy.

Because truthfully, I don't mind having a son who has a mind like Stewie.

Yes, I'm a little twisted inside.

goodbye, nonno

Dearest Nonno,

 I can't really place this feeling in my heart right now. It was just not long ago when I saw you sitting down on your favourite spot. You were quiet as usual, watching Nonna doing all the talking. When I looked through your eyes, I could see a man who has gone through hardship in life. More importantly, I also see a person who has the most gentle soul ever.

 I'll never forget how you used to kiss me so fondly on the cheeks and treated me like one of your grandchildren...

 How you held my hand tightly as you walked me to the door...

 How you and Nonna accepted me as part of your family just like second mum and Zia did...

And despite you speak little English, you muttered out, "Good girl" whenever you see me.

 I never really get to know both of my grandpa because they've gone to heaven when I was a little girl.

 Thank you for letting me having the opportunity to know how it once felt like before.

 I'm gonna miss you, Nonno. I think we all will... There is no doubt about that.

Love always,
 Chica

today i'm friend with baskin-robbins

Okay, so was every other day.

But I had it first thing in the morning on my way to meet up with one of my girls for lunch. I just couldn't resist the temptation. And then, I had it again after lunch. So Baskin-Robbins and I are indeed BFF (Best Friends Forever).

I've been having craving for pizza since last 2 days and I was meant to get it from Domino's or Pizza Hut. Sometimes, junk food is good. To me, junk food is great all the time. Somehow, I didn't get a chance to have pizza for reasons like, there were too many food at home or I had something else for lunch or dinner and then thought about pizza only after stuffing myself with err...something else!

So today, I finally managed to have pizza! Hooray! But the pizza at this trendy cafe didn't even turned out as good as cheapos Domino's. I paid $24 for pizza that I didn't even like! Ugh... But the coffee I had was brilliant though so I guess it kinda made up for it. No?

Yep, I've been piling myself with food all day longggggg.

Well done, chica. You won't be able to fit in your jeans anymore! :-(

overheard in the bus

My mind was mindling its own business when it picked up this conversation.

Woman in a funny accent which I can't place exactly what it was: My brother works for IBM.

Man in a mouse voice: Really? That sounded fun!

WIAFAWICPEWIW: Yeah...He has got so many benefits! Home loans, Discounts on cars as well as insurance. Such a good company!

MIAMV: I'm sure your company would give you benefit as well

WIAFAWICPEWIW: (In a serious tone) No

MIAMV: Well, wouldn't it be nice if they give you discount to buy beds? Would you like a big bed?

I'm trying to suppress myself from bursting out laughing.

WIAFAWICPEWIW: No

Me: *snorts*

I'm positively sure I just embarrassed myself but buying bed? You gotta be kidding me!

to boss with love

Random things to do in the office when the asshole boss is not around:

- Online shopping at eBay. Or browsing! Don't you just love eBay?

- Reading gossips on Trent is the new pink! You really don't need to buy gossip magazines anymore. Hail Trent! I love this guy to bits.

- Blogs surfing. Enough said. -.-

- Scaring the shit out of myself nagivating through the introduction of Siren 2. This is absolutely brilliant, trust me.

- Having ciggies break. Lots of it. But then again, the last time I smoke was a week ago... Maybe not!

- Texting my girls. I sent a text message to the wrong person this morning. It was meant for one of my girls but somehow it got send to S. Maybe I'm still thinking of him sub-consciously. Thank God I wasn't bitching about him in that sms. :-)

- Jobs surfing on seek.com.au. What? Don't look at me that way.

- Last but not least, write a blog entry!

of sale and biscuits

Nope, I'm not writing about biscuits sale but I'm absolutely hooked with Wernli biscuits. They're so yummylicious. And nice. And yummy. And fattening. Eeeks!

Don't you just love the month of June and December? I went down to David Jones on Tuesday afternoon to look for the Ferragamo lady and before I walked up to her, I've tried on 3 pairs of shoes. :-)

Although David Jones sale officially started yesterday, but in truth it was on the day before. The poor Ferragamo lady looked so tired and she was depressed coz she didn't manage to get the dress that she loves.

There was only size 6 left and she lamented, "As though I'm gonna fit in there..." before continuing with, "I just bought a pair of Armani, I feel sorry for my credit card".

I just nodded and smiled. She reminded me of how I was like last year. Spending the money I never had although my girls argued that daddy's money is technically mine too. How naive were we.

Anyway, my black Vara is not on sale but the lady was happy to give me 10% discount and I could come back anytime for that. Which means I get lots and lots of time to think about it since it's not on sale, they're not even in sight at all. It's just annoying that they hide away all the non-sale items in the store room.

I had my eyes on one of the gorgeous heels but it was a size too big for me so obviously I can't bring it home. And the Ferragamo lady looked at me and mumbled, "Just like my dress..." :-(

And if you don't already know, Myer preview sale starts next Tuesday so go in and grab a bargain!
