if you could be any superhero, which would you be? i'm torn between superman and batman.

superman is the epitome of superheroes. when you think superhero, you think superman. he's pretty much the definition of a superhero. he's the one that all other superheroes look up to. faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive. and the kryptonite thing doesn't bother me much. it's not like it's used in abundance in our everyday lives like oxygen or something. what bothers me is his life by day. he's a dork!!! superheroes are supposed to be cool!!!

and that's what i like about batman so much. sure, he really has no super powers at all. but he's still a superhero. that's pretty darn impressive. he does it all on his own. sure he has gadgets and toys and cars that help him, but even that stuff, it's his money, his design. he worked out to get all buff to kick some bad guy ass. and he's a pimp by day!!! not a dorky reporter who cant get the girl. he gets all the girls he wants! he lives an awesome lifestyle even without being a superhero. that part is just a perk. but it still kinda bugs that he has no "super powers". that's why i'm torn.

i think i'm leaning towards batman.

our little babies are getting the chop chop today =( i just dropped 'em off at the vet and gawrsh i feel so bad. poor little guys. i'm gonna spoil 'em when they get back home =)

otherwise, nothing new. chinese new year was nice. frickin' cold though!!! it's the 3rd coldest new year in history or something like that. it was maybe about 40degrees and people were wearing parkas and stuff! weirdos. but people out here do that. i'll be wearing jeans and a tank top and i'll walk by a lady who's wearing a scarf and a long overcoat. i guess if you buy all these cute winter clothes, you gotta wear 'em sometime, right?

did you know that if you follow the real atkins diet, it makes your pee and breath smell? and it puts a metallic taste in your mouth, along with making you dizzy and all this other stuff. how pleasant! most of those symptoms are supposed to go away in time though. and the real atkins (versus some other low-carb diet) is really hard to follow and pretty darn gross to be honest. it really is all meat. and limited flavoring too because most sauces are also out the window. no bbq, teriyaki, no ketchup, no honeymustard! i could never do it.

and...the only difference between a typhoon and hurricane is where it comes from. if it's in the western hemisphere, it's a hurricane. if it's in the eastern hemisphere, it's a typhoon. interesting, huh?

its' raining =/ i HATE rain. i hope it clears up by the chinese new year holiday. o yah...happy chinese new year by the way. :)

man, i cant imagine what it's gonna be like when the typhoons come. i'm NOT looking forward to it. i kinda just wanna see what it's like, and then have it stop right after i've had my experience.

is it just me? am i retarded? before you answer "yes"...lemme tell you why i ask.

i dont like getting hit on. and no, it's not because i have someone, blah blah blah...i never liked getting hit on. occassional compliments, as long as they're sincere and not cheesy or sleezy, and dont go any further, those are okay. even kinda nice at times. but getting hit on...yuck. it's okay though, it barely ever happens to me, so i think i'll live. =P

how else are you supposed to meet and hook up with people then you ask. i have no clue. be friends first? that's always been my way and it worked for me :) i guess i'm just lucky. okay, not guess, i know that i'm lucky...in more ways than one.

i dunno, i just wanted to rant. no point. but then again, when do i have a point?

so they're constantly running commercials for this machine that'll make you grow taller!!! i kno, i kno...you're thinking...what're you waiting for??? go get it!!! you definitely need it!!! i kno i do...but listen to the details of this machine...

bear with me by the way...i'm great at explaining things :)

so it's kinda like a bench where you do bench presses. one end has those little padded roller things that you see on some weight machines to put your legs or ankles underneath. the other end has a chin strap. and off to the side, there's this handle that you crank to "stretch" yourself taller. are you getting the picture? strap yourself in, stick your feet under the rollers, and start crankin' to make yourself grow!

this thing reminds me of those torture machines back in the day where they'd tie horses to each of your limbs and make them run while pulling you apart! goodness gracious. if anything, all you'd get is some serious neck and back problems. and wanna know what the fine print says??? you have to do it 15 minutes a day, everyday...AND drink a liter of milk everyday! a liter?!?!?! how the heck do you drink a whole liter of milk?!?!?! that's gross! i'm gonna pick up some kidney stones in the process. plus, imagine if you're lactose intolerant! hahaha. sorry, went to far.

anyway, my point is just that it's a retarded machine. i'm all for miracles that'll make me taller, but i think i'll pass on this one.

lately, i've opened blogger.com many times and have just sat here...i have nothing to blog about. but i thought i'd try again and just blab away about pointless stuff.

o, i have pictures of bangkok if you're interested. leave a message or email me. it's pretty cool. we went to these floating markets where you boat around in canals, other people in boats boat by with fruits, souvenirs, and even fried rice and noodles and dumplings that they cook while in their little boats! and if you make a purchase but it takes a while to make what you ordered and you dont wanna stop and wait...they'll paddle alongside you until it's done. neat huh? and guess what else that makes it even better! everything so darned cheap. i didnt pay more than 50cents for anything i ate, including a bowl of noodles, a fatty bag of fried bananas. the dumplings were 3 for a quarter! goodness gracious, what a great place! too bad it's about a 2 hour car ride outside the city =/

the temples of bangkok were cool too, grand palace, giant buddha, blah blah blah. but it all just ends up looking the same after a while, just like the castles in europe. i kno, i kno...so uncultured. o well.

and thai massages are very interesting. definitely not as relaxing as traditional massages, but i liked it.

we also went to a restaurant called cabbages and condoms. its to promote awareness and safe sex and all that. you get condoms at the end instead of mints. stock up guys!

what else? o, the nightlife! no, we didnt see much of the nightlife. bangkok nightlife is about as freaky deaky as it gets, but my baby was sick. but i can tell you all about it if you'd like. not here though...i dont feel it's appropriate. it's not for the squeamish.

yup, and now i'm back in HK. job hunting again. that's a topic for another blog, another time.

hope everyone is having a great new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

bangkok was fun. definitely have to go back some other time when we're not sick. and hit up the beaches in thailand too.

i'm re-starting my job hunt today. (finally). wish me luck!!!
