Animal Control

Today, I went to Costco to buy a pack of beer for a friend's birthday. I got the best parking ever! Corner spot in front of the entrance! It wasn't too busy for a saturday surprisingly. Grabbed a pack of string cheese, pack of Budweiser, and a bag of carrots and done! Got back to my car and see an excited Pebbles greeting me. Then the Costco security guard tells me someone reported me to the Animal Control about leaving my dog in the car and said that she was overheated! Good thing he mentioned I've only been gone for 10 minutes. I received a yellow slip attached to my windshield saying to call within 30 min. of arrival back to car or further reprecussions will be taken. I was back in 10 minutes, called and was cleared. I guess maybe my windows weren't down far enough for Pebbles. I did have a container of water on the passenger side floor. She just tends to scream and cry when I leave her in there. Separation anxiety almost got me in trouble that Pebbles. Sigh...

Fat month!

Soooo, last week I had dinner with my aunt, mom, and grandparents at my grandparents house. It's nice to have family dinners once in a while to catch up with one another and gossip. The topic for this weeks dinner was about fatness! About me being fat! First, mom and aunt says I need to lose 10 lbs. I told them I've gained my weight from working at YouTube and working on losing it. Then grandma follows with "NO she has to lose 20 lbs!" I'm thinking great...this will not end until I'm at their ideal weight. Boo!

A few days ago, mom calls me at 9pm to ask what I was doing. I told her I was hungry and was making food to eat. She raises her voice "DON'T EAT SO LATE! EAT BEFORE 7PM" and yea, that was the end of our phone conversation. Basically got a call to tell me I'm Fat!

Next day, mom calls in the morning to see what I was doing and asked if I wanted some papaya. Suggested me to lose weight by eating more veggies and fruits. I said no thanks 'cuz grandma already gave me a half papaya, 5 peaches and 5 pears a few days ago. I told her I may as well stop eating. Then she says "NO! DON'T KILL YOURSELF" and I said "Then I'll just eat 'til I get fatter and stress you out for the rest of your life!" jokingly of course. She said "NO don't do that!" with her raised voice again and complains how dark I'm getting too. Chinese people like to be white because white = pretty. So I respond "You say I'm fat so I go running to get exercise!" and she shuts up. Haha! End of another phone conversation.

Today, I went to have a nice Italian dinner with a few friends for my birthday. Grandma calls me to come by to pick something up. She gives me a red envelope and 2 football sized Papayas = go on a diet and eat healthy. FML

July 4th Loser!

How did my July 4th go? It was alright... Well, not the beginning of it. So I got ready to go to Hilton hotel for the 46th floor 9pm. event to watch the fireworks at an all window view walled room. So my friends and I got there half and hr. early and had to line up a block away from the entrance. Who knew it would be that busy already. So we ended up waiting for an hr to find out that the guestlist was closed at 9pm. and asked us to pay $25 to enter. So we all said forget it and left to Swig for FREE. What a cold night waiting out and missing the fireworks all together. At least it wasn't busy at Swig bar. So we ended the night early and went to eat Nan and Curry. I was so excited and was craving for Chicken Tikka Masala and Vindilu (however you spell that). So happy after that and went home early after that. It was about 2am when I got to my car. So I was driving home and came to a crosswalk at red light. I saw a group of thuggish looking kids and one was tagging (graiffiting) the crosswalk at one end not realizing there was a cop car at the other end of the crosswalk. I'm just in the front of the crosswalk watching all this go down. None of his friends saw the cop guess because it was a dark street? After this kid is done tagging the crosswalk corner, gets to the other side of the street and all the sudden the cop car lights turn on and they make an arrest. That's what he gets! Such a dummy. It's just sad to see these things happen.

Ouching...

I've been getting these horrible stomach aches that wakes me up in the middle of the night. SoOoOoooo painful it hurts dead center under my chest area and it makes me sweat. Also woke up with a bad sore throat. I notice the pain is worse when I don't have anything in my stomach. Couldn't take it any longer so I had to call the doctor and go in for a check up.

Scared me, she said that if I had a fever and if the pain was to the right of where the pain was it couldn've been gallstones. On top of that, I was taking ibuprofen for the past week for my wisdom pulls and said that this med could cause stomach problems and possibly ulcers if I continued it. Doc said that I may have reflux and a lot of acid, and that's the reason I have a sore throat as well. I've been put on new meds for my stomach pains for the past 3 days now. It's somewhat working, Mylanta does wonders! I still feel the pain, it's just not as frequent as before. Hope it goes away soon, it's very uncomfortable and I'm tired from waking up in the middle of the night!

Wisdom Teeth pull today!

After reading online about the risks about Wisdom Teeth pulls, it really scared me. Last night, I hardly slept, woke up every hr., had a total of about 3 hrs. of sleep, and dreamt about me getting it done. 12pm came and I'm in the office freaking out signing my life away and reading all the risk factors. I just wanted to get it over with.

So the nurse assists me and puts on breathing tubes into my nose, attached to my to check my blood pressure, and then the doctor comes in to put in the iv needle to hydrate me for the first 10 minutes. I can hear my heartbeat jumping then relaxing and jumping fast again. Just lying there I felt very lonely and so nervous. After that 10 minutes, the doctor returns and says he's going to inject the anesthesia. within 1 min. I start feeling it and the next thing I know I'm waking up from the entire surgery! I won't forget the warm fuzzy dizzy feeling before knocking out, it was like going into a dream. What felt like 5 minutes of sleep took an hr. of work. Woke up and it was just the nurse making sure my vital signs are normal. 3 times the machine started to beep out of control because my blood pressure was not getting enough air. So I had to take a few deep breathes to get it back to normal. Other then that, I felt just a bit drowsy and weak in the legs. Then my friend came to pick me up and drove me home. I'm starving and can only eat mushy things like porridge, apple sauce, yogurt, pudding, mashed potatos, and whatever else I can think of. So sad. Hope I lose weight though! Glad its finally over with. Now it's just the healing process and hope that goes well...

Worst Vegas Trip ever!

Not the trip itself, but the itineraries! The day I got to the hotel they said there was some emergency and had to move us(bro and I) to Hooters Hotel! I had a fun 3 days shopping, walking and eating though =) Also met up with a college roommate to celebrate her birthday for just a day. Finally on the last day, all hell breaks loose. My bro boarded his plane fine. But me?! I went to the airport Sunday 7pm. to find out my flight was delayed for another 4.5 hrs. I was suppose to board at 7:30pm. No phone call at all for any update! When 11:30pm came for boarding, they say flight is canceled! It's about 12am. Then they have us line up in two lines. 1 for boarding passes and 1 for a free night hotel stay at the Hampton Inn Tropicana. We're the last people standing in our section of the airport. 20 minutes go by while I'm lining up to receive my boarding pass. Then they say boarding passes can be picked up in the morning for the 8:30am flight next day. So then they tell us all who needs hotel and food voucher to line up in the other line to receive that. So I line up for another 15 minutes and 1am is coming around the corner. The security announces that the last bus to the main airport luggage area to catch the shuttles will be closed and if we're still there in line after 1am we have to take a special shuttle. So it's 1:15am, I finally get my hotel, food, and free next flight voucher and get to the shuttle bus. Finally get to my hotel by 1:30am. Used my food voucher for some food and head to bed at 2am. The shuttle man suggested to be downstairs at 4am to take the first come first serve shuttle back to the airport as he's the only driver and Monday is suggested one of the busier mornings at the airport. So I took his suggestion and was downstairs at 4am. LIAR! I was the only one there! At this point, I'm dead tired! Then the hotel sheets gave me hives because of my sensitive skin and I'm extremely drowsy with my allergy meds and 2 hrs of sleep! Super grumpy! So I sit in the shuttle and waited til 4:30am. and arrive at the airport about 5am. The driver was right about the busy morning at the airport after all. But it was still a bit too early for me I think. So I get checked in and get to my flight station by 5:30am. My boarding time was 7:45am. So I ate some breakfast and took a small nap. When boarding time comes they announce that the flight is once again delayed for another 1-2 hrs. I'm just laughing at this point. The reason was that there was bad weather in S.F. landing strip for our carrier. Damn United! 9:45am comes and YAY we board! Finally got back to S.F. 12pm. and home by 1pm. What a trip! At least I got free hotel and air vouchers for my next trip. Have to fly United again but hope no more delays!!!
