Happy End of 2009!

Hey guys!

So I just wanted to drop by & quickly say HAPPY NEW YEAR ! 

How do you ring in the New Year?

I used to go watch the fireworks at midnight but lately it's been SUPER cold (it is going to be -35C with windchill tonight) so fireworks isn't really an option. I'll probably stay home and watch the clock turn to 12:00AM if I can manage to stay awake that long, haha.

On another note, do any of you have any New Year's Resolutions?

Mine used to always be "I will lose 'x' number of pounds!" but of course that never happens. I know this is a very popular failed resolution. The ladies at my gym told me to watch for the huge influx of members that will be joining come January. Oh dear.

Well, whatever your resolution may be - I hope it works out for you.
& whatever you end up doing tonight to ring in the New Year - I hope it's with good company & I wish you all the best for 2010 =)

See you in the new year!!! 

& PS. Thank you to all those who come and keep me company at my blog, all of you are simply amazing =)

Midnight Snack

Hey guys!

So I'm incredibly bored right now...and when I'm bored I eat, so within the past half hour I have seriously eaten .. the equivalent to a dragon's meal ! Yes, that's right, a dragon.

Let's see...
I've eaten...

chocolates. PS these are SO good..no wait, the raspberry ones are SO GOOD. I got them at the M&M store in Vegas and I'm afraid to eat them because I don't want to run out =(

These Macadamia Nut Shortbread cookies are super good too! I bought these at the ABC store in Vegas and am also afraid to eat them as I don't want to run out...=(

A bowl of cereal! I bought this box to leave at work to eat for breakfast and am finishing it off now. I love love cereal, especially those with marshmallows in them..or fruits..or oatmeal clusters..They should combine these 3 elements and make a super cereal!

And finally...a banana! Look what happened when I tried to open it! The top part ripped off! I feel like the Hulk or something...







Sigh...so I guess this isn't really that much food...but if you think about it..this is my midnight snack. This could be a whole breakfast ! I actually think I know why I've suddenly felt the urge to eat more...

A few days ago I went for a Fitness Test at my gym...& my personal trainer told me I need to gain more fat. WHAT! More?! That was a disappointment as I was looking to lose weight, and she was all like..."Sorry, I will not help you lose weight. You cannot lose weight. You need to gain fat."

Well, this would all be fine and dandy if that meant eat more McDonald's, or...stuff your face in fatty foods! But no...I have to gain this fat healthy-ly...that is...eat salmon, eat nuts, da-di-da-di-da...

LAME. But when someone tells me I get to gain fat, I ignore the whole how part and dive straight into the food. Hence, my huge midnight snack. C'mon...the chocolates have nuts in them..that means I'm sort of following the rules, right?

So, when you get bored/hungry/notice it's time for your midnight snack! - what do you usually grab for? I know my stepmom likes to cook rice and basically eat dinner all over again...but what about you? Let me know, give me ideas for my next midnight snack!

Until next time =) 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Hey guys!

Sorry long time no post. I've been busy (and lazy) and it's Christmas so we should all be out celebrating and NOT on here reading blogs all day!

So shoo! Go away now!


Have a happy holidays everyone!  Tomorrow is Boxing Day & I plan on doing some major shopping...I've already had a head start!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR if I don't happen to see you before the new year comes ! =) 

This or That Reveal

Hey guys!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in my first This or That segment!

And the results are...2 for the bad haircut and 1 for the bad tan.

So it's time for me to reveal which of the two I would choose! I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I would rather have a bad haircut than a bad tan. It's simple to hide a bad haircut - wear a hat, get extensions, etc...but how do you hide a bad tan that is on your ENTIRE body? Sure you could use makeup to fix your face, but what about your hands and arms? Your neck? Your ears? Your feet? Oh gosh I don't know what I would do! I would probably sit in the shower for HOURS with a highly exfoliating scrub trying to get that stuff off, haha. & plus my hair grows at a ridiculous rate so yeah.

Speaking of bad haircuts...I just went to cut my hair a few weeks ago and I think my hair dresser must've been tired or something because he didn't even ask me how I wanted my hair cut...he just started cutting! I thought he remembered me from previous haircuts since I've been going to him for a while...but I was wrong. The whole cut was wrong, and he started curling it before I actually saw how wrong it was! So I went home, washed it, and to my horror saw what had become of my hair! Unfortunately I was leaving for Vegas the next day so I couldn't get it fixed right away...

Needless to say, as soon as I got back, I called my hairdresser back and told him I needed him to recut it. Even then it still wasn't right because he was rushing to finish since I wasn't paying him and his customers were waiting...sigh. I'm just waiting for it to grow out now, what else can you do?

Have you ever had a bad hair experience? Be it a cut, dye job, perm, etc? What did you do? Did you go back and complain to get it fixed?

Until next time guys, have a good weekend!

New Weekly Segment!

Hey guys!

So as I said in my previous post, I've decided to start a new weekly segment! I've thought about it and the new segment will be called...This or That Thursdays! This new segment will be my attempt to get to know you guys better! I will give you a choice of 2 situations, and you choose this or that and let me know why!  I will tally up the votes and tell you the results on Fridays, as well as revealing what I chose too!

Yeah I know this is kind of lame but I really wanted to try something different...hopefully no one already does this!

So let's move on to today's This or That, shall we?

Would you rather choose this:
Getting a really really bad spray tan like Ross:




Video is from youtube

Or would you rather choose that:
Getting a horrible haircut like poor Monica:




 Video from the wb, sorry if you can't see it. only available to americans =( 
Let me know what you would choose! I'll tell you guys what I choose tomorrow =)
Sorry if this question is stupid, I'll try to think of better ones for the future, haha. 


On a side note, the first clip of Ross is from one of my favorite episodes of Friends. I seriously laugh so hard everytime I watch it! What's your favorite episode of Friends? And if you tell me you've never watched/heard of Friends before...climb out from under that rock ! =)

Interesting Bag Find

Hey guys!

I know I said I wouldn't be posting until tomorrow but this was way too cool not to share right away! My co-worker just informed me of this today & I found it to be so neat.

So the company is called Miche Bag, and what's cool about it is that it's one bag, but the outside "shell" of it is interchangeable!

So you start off with something like this:

And then you add a shell to it to change it to something like this:

  

 Cool hey! This bag in particular measures: 15" long, 12" tall, 5" deep, so it's HUGE! And for someone who loves big bags, this is absolutely perfect! Unfortunately they aren't available to Canadians =( But still...what is available is the smaller version:

This one measures 5.75" wide, 11.75" long, and 6.5" tall, so it is considerably smaller.

And this one can have lots of fun shells too such as:

  

I think this would be a wonderful gift to a wife, or a gift to yourself even! That way you don't have to have a million different bags, you just have one that can look different! Dress it up, dress it down, whatever you like. They even have customizable ones!

Here is a demo video showing how it works:

Anyways, yeah, that's my little post for today. Hope you all enjoyed it! Until tomorrow!

Disclaimer: I have no affililation with MicheBag. I was just told about them by a co-worker who found out about them from a friend who saw them at Costco! All images were taken from http://www.michebag.com/.

Lunch Hour Babble

Hey guys!

So everyone at work has gone home for lunch so I'm just sitting here...blogging. This post will be rather random. Actually, for the past few days I've really been thinking about what direction I would like to take my blog...and I have decided !  The direction I will take my blog is...in no direction! Yes. This is where randomness comes to blog, and I am perfectly fine with that.

But while browsing through other people's blogs looking for ideas, I've noticed that many many people have weekly segments that they do, and I think that is so much fun!  So I will be starting my first weekly segment on Thursday!  So be sure to check back then and see what it is! It's kind of lame but that's okay, haha. And on top of that, I have asked my sister to make me a prettier blog layout..she's more of the coding whiz of the family so better she do it than me seeing as I would probably wreck this. I hope she finishes soon, it will be so pretty! (hopefully)

In other news...I still can't get my memory card to work on my laptop! It's so annoying, and I am getting mega-frustrated with my all-text-no-pictures posts, so I think I will start using my camera-phone seeing as it is 5mp anyways...good enough!

UHM...again sorry this is going nowhere. I'm trying hard to pass the time. So tell me...what do you guys do to pass the time during breaks/lunch at work/school?

I suppose it's time for me to actually go eat something..until Thursday!
