Quiet strength
Gives me a look

that echo
the sonnets of angels
without a sound.

She was highly recommended by my realtor and seems so nice. Randell need not to worry anymore. My bf didn't like my old accountant's gestures of sending me flowers on valentine's day, visiting me to my other job (is this considered as stalking?, accdg to my co-workers, it is) and calling me on my cell phone and at work phone every single day.

Although it's a bit late, I'm going to vent anyways....
Why do guys become inconsiderate when they
become more and more comfortable with their
partner in a long term relationship?
Last Friday, I went straight to Randamok's pad from work.
It was around 6pm. Since I got there early, I decided to go to
Safeway for some grocery shopping so I could cook Spaghetti
for dinner. Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17559300772265457753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045984.post-1095098332796247372004-09-13T10:44:00.000-07:002004-09-13T10:58:52.796-07:00I need a new bike seat
Rand and I went bike riding yesterday at the Marina Park in San Leandro.
It was approximately 4 miles to go around the lake. Only 4 miles! but my butt
is sore. I am so hating my bike seat right now.
Either that or I'm just out of shape.
Well, I'll just blame my bike seat for now. p

Two days ago I was complaining to Randell about my lymph node that was hurting under my left jaw and this morning when I woke up, I felt it moved to my right jaw. I keep feeling my left jaw all day to see if it's just somewhere there and couldn't find it. I figured it really moved to the right. How weird is that? I thought maybe it has something to do with the filling I had last Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17559300772265457753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045984.post-1093391769354806562004-08-24T16:47:00.000-07:002004-08-24T16:56:09.353-07:00Traffic School
I got a score of 96%. Yay!
Forfeit Bail
I thought I was going to pay $400+ for my traffic violation.
It turned out it was only $200 + $39 Admin. fee
and of course Online Traffic School for $24.95.
Not bad.
I hope that was my first and last traffic violation.

My new baby is a new Specialized Expedition Mountain Bike that I bought Friday night. The last one they had that fits my height. The rest are for 5'8" and taller. On the other hand, Rand bought his bike like JJ's from Supergo on Thursday. We both broke them in on Saturday in Saratoga Gap off of HIghway 9. It was a fun ride with JP, Dawn and her Audizine friends.

Saturday 6/26
Rand and I went to Downtown LA to meet up with Jen for lunch in 'Mi Piace'. We split Calamari Salad which was "oh so good" and one piece of pizza, the rest we were saving for our road trip back to the bay area.
Unfortunately, the styro box i was holding with the rest of the pizza and garlic bread slipped out of my hand and dropped on the ground when Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17559300772265457753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045984.post-1087413295535410362004-06-16T12:03:00.000-07:002004-06-30T20:46:27.720-07:00Ofoto Pix

I just bought pictures of our LA trip

Since I could access to Piaadoll's Ofoto

Weekend Recap
Friday
Movie Night
After work I had dinner in Potstickers
with the boyfriend. Then we rented
"Legally Blonde II" and back up Anime
movie just in case the chick flick is lame.
And yes indeed, it was!
Saturday
Went to Saint Andrew's Church for
Dawn's Dad's Memorial Service.
Dawn had a very touching Eulogy.
Then we head to Hon Lin's Restaurant
for lunch. Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17559300772265457753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045984.post-1076484330747242842004-02-10T23:25:00.000-08:002004-02-19T23:05:10.576-08:00::home::

Weekend Recap
Sunday
Rand and I had Dimsum with Thai in Joy Luck Place.
They have a lot of good stuff. We didn't even have
room for crepe. There's a crepe store near the
restaurant and we usually go there every week.
We went to J Town in Kabuki Srings and Spa for our
massage appointment. It relieved my back pain and
I got rid of my tension headache. (I was so relaxedJoannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17559300772265457753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045984.post-1075265858417816712004-01-27T20:57:00.000-08:002004-01-27T20:59:45.936-08:00::home::

I just got home from Rez 26th birthday and I'm still full.
On my way to the party, I stopped by Baskin' Robins and
bought Cookies n' Cream Ice Cream Cake. When I got there,
I handed it to the birthday celebrant and she thought it was
just a cake and I didn't know she just put it on top of the stove.

Reasons for not blogging:
1. Too busy

Shopping
Yesterday after having breakfast at Hometown Buffet with my family
we headed to Gilroy for some shopping spree. I didn't buy much b/c
the store that I wanted was not there anymore. I like Esprit. :(
I just bought 2 guess shirts which I got for $5.00 each; 1 polo long
sleeves for $10.00 and 2 fossil watch bracelets, only $6.99 for my
old benetton watches.

I had an hour concert at the Glenwood Inn to entertain the oldies. They liked me b/c they requested that I should perform every friday. We'll see.
...I went to my mom's office and picked up my gift. Got a magic mic w. built-in karaoke. thanks mom!...At around 9pm I drove to Oak airport to pick up Randell.

A Valentine Concert
I got a call from a friend earlier and he invited me
to perform tomorrow in some sort of a Concert.
Getting paid just to sing for an hour to entertain
the oldies at the Glenwood Inn Retirement Center.
The Band that was supposed to perform is not
gonna be available and I'm the replacement.
Maybe I should demand for a high talent fee for
such a short notice. ;)

That's what happens when you don't blog everyday.
I learned my lesson so I wrote it down in my
planner and from now on I'll try
to post everyday even if it is lame.
Good thing I have my personal IT
who can troubleshoot everything for me.
Thanks Rand!
ok, now you can go back to play video games ;)
