Yesterday I saw a PUUURRRFECT opportunity to give that *Wiatch* a taste of her own doings....I was giggling at the mere thought of my evil plan....vengeance is super sweet...I thought w/ evil grin...but then suddenly I was reminded of the scripture:

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
(Romans 12:19-21)

I paused and thought......n' decided to abandon that puurfect plan for revenge........

I humbly ask YOU...to provide me with loving kindness and patience, oh LORD......

We had a big retirement lunch for my boss' boss....the top dude...when asked what is he gonna do with his spare time...he...said that he will be fixin' up his ranch somewhere in SA....

I am loving the weather...not tooo cold not too muggily hot either.....my kewl boss on the other hand is supposed to be making his way back to HOU from SHA. I hope he will have a smooth journey home...since I heard on the news this morning about the terrible winter storm there in China....

------------------------
Got a ph call last night from my super-kewl-ex....he said he was watching an opera w/ his new gf...WOOWWW!!! LOL....how cute...

-----------------------------------
I am super busy and in need of more patience....LORD.!

It has been a very busy week for me...trainings/workshops/meetings...etc..etc...

Lord grant me the strength!

-----------------

N..u r adorable and super cute ;)

Trying to keep up w/ me and all my bros + fam are just not easy....

SIGH....my sis-in-law n the kids just arrived in Sydney a couple of days ago - they were in SIN-JKT for a few days....my oldest bro is having a conference in SIN right now - so he gets to hang out w/ my second (who was in Thailand and Malaysia last week for a meeting)...

The third one had just gotten back from Brazil - now he is leaving to Sydney.........

And poor 'lil me is tryin' to catch up w/ them....at least I don't have to do the "biweekly" trip to VA Beach no more!

Thank goodness for IM and text message...!!! That's how we-all keep in touch.....

How young is too young? Sigh...the dude I have been hanging out w/ is about at least 5 yrs younger than moi and *SIGH* he is another engineer...whatzup w/ all these engineers? LMAO!!!!

BOZO-FRENCHIE-DUDE...still emails me....I guess he takes it as a challenge now bcz I refuse to give in and reply to his stupid emails.....I am praying: God please make him stop bombarded me w/ stupid-super-annoying emails.....no more please!! PLEASE GOD!!!! I can only take soooo much!!!

N-E-WAYZ...what's up w/ the weather ppl? Today's high: in the 70s....OMG...is it Spring already? At least no rain...so I won't complain.....

The big big boss decided to retire...his last day would be the 1st...his replacement (my boss' boss) is this guy who asked me to join him on a corporate-wide side project.....well, I am happy that he chose me but at the same time...it means I'm gonna be soooo super busy....my boss is coming back from China, Korea and India...next week.....so it would only means I will have extra jobs too...

---------------

Lord thank you for today...for the sunshine...for being there when I need You...thank you for keeping all of us safe.....thank you for all of my wonderful friends.....

I am totally "Valentine's Day" overdosed!!!

I had to go to Wal-Mart after church today to buy some "essentials" and Ben Ten action figure for my nephew. My bro-E is leaving to Sydney in a week, geez.....I wish I could go to!

As I was walking in the isles looking for the Fourarms, Diamondhead, wildmutt, or XLR8....., I couldn't help but noticing the Valentine's Day goodies everywhere, cards, chocolates, flowers, gifts...etc...etc...

PPL PLEEEEZZEEE....it'z not even the end of Jan yet.....and yawl already shoving Valentine's Day crap down our throats...!!! I'm already "Valentine's Day overdosed....!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note, my ex-babe just informed me that he is going through w/ his PhD in Environmental Engineering from ODU....he said it would keep his mind off the whole crap....and his target to obtain his doctorate degree would be in 2012....

Well, I am proud of you....I don't know if it matters to you but...yeah...I am very, very proud of you...one of the traits that I always admire about you.....you won't let anything stop you from reaching your goals....and when things are bad...you refused to stay negative but move on to something positive.....all the best....you have my prayers.....

You are a witch and a liar......

What have I done to you that you have to spread bad rumours about me....

You are no longer my future-sis-in-law...since I am no longer w/ your bro-in-law...

So please leave me alone................

Go away.........I don't wanna hear from you ever again.........

I was rolling on the floor basically bcz these are some of the things I had a loooooooong discussions w/ them during my visits............

Happy Australia Day.....to all my Aussie mates and families!!!!!

Thank you LORD for the sunshine.........

Itz soooo gorgeous out there....I am in the oh-soooo-happy-mood!...
-------------------------------

There will always be a sunshine after the rain.............
All new things are always exciting ;) but the old ones are still precious!!!
Kindness goes a looooong way...........
Peace everyone!!! Have a blessed day!

Spent FRI eve tgthr w/ my galpals....we had a quick dinner, walk around @ a store to find a "perfect" coat for VN-Gal and then ended up in my place...playing Outburst, Mad Gab, and the "TRUTH"questions among friends...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrls those were preeety tough questions..............had a blast....enjoyed asking yawl w/ DEEP questions.....

Sssssssst some secrets had now been revealed!!

GEEZ...I haven't been updating as regularly......cuz I have been relatively busy BOTH socially and professionally LMAO!.....my weekends are always filled and I haven't really had a REALLY lazy weekend at home since I moved here in NOV. And yet I haven't caught up with all my buddies here in HOU....C&B, L, J, C, R, D, A, Mi....are a few that I have not had a chance to hang out yet....(I am soooo sorry guys)...not to mention I got emails to write back, phone calls to return from my other friends in ATL.........this weekend is definitely no different.......as expected...another busy one!

Another wonderful evening... but its hard to believe in love right now.

Had a friend woke me up this morning - talking about SNOW in ATL....he said that thermometers fell to 17 degrees early Sunday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Blairsville in northeastern Georgia recorded a low of 9!!!

He sent me a couple of pics of the icy-snowy-freeze....

LORD, thank you for bringing me back to HOUSTON, next time when I am gonna start complaining about how HOT this city is...I will stop to think how unbearably cold ATL where I was.....

TO ALL MY PALS/MATES/BUDDIES in ATL....keep warm pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

The sun is shinning - no more rain...at least not for a few days....

I have a full schedule today...

LUNCHIE DATE ;) @ Fadi's - my fave rest (plz ignore the name...inside joke..LOL!)

DINNER DATE - @ 7P

In btw I have errands to run, exercise to do....etc.....

I received a few text messages/emails regarding my previous entry about quit blogging....like them, I too realized this blog is our means of "keeping in touch" - since all my pals and fams are scattered around the globe w/ different time zones....we all have busy schedules/lives.....so having a place where you can just click to find out how's each other doing is a convenient thing to do....w/ that thought I prommie-prommie to keep writing.......

Sooo voila...here I am - writing away..


---------------------

Well, remember previously how I said that Winter in HOU has been sooo mild compared to ATL, right before I left on my vacation in Dec, I was still running around w/ flipflops and shorts....weeell, as we know that Jan usually is the coldest month for the season......and yeah for a couple of days already the weather has gotten a wee-bit colder....and yesterday it rained all day - morning, afternoon, evening and night....so the high is about in the low 50s/upper 40s....and ppl are already all bundled up in their ski-gears typed....talking about fireplace..etc....

I on the other end am really enjoying this "mild" winter weather....and secretly wished that it would stay like this for a 'lil while...

Especially when this morning I checked the weather forecasts for HOU and ATL....and....

HOU

ATL

I am extremely happy to be in Hou......

----------------------

My super nicey EX BF the drummer told me that he is making his famous veggie-gumbo....and invite me over for SUNDAY after church....YEAYYYYYYYYY for GUMBO!!!!

My sis-in-law called me, we chat for a bit...she suggested the next destination for us all to meet is: DUBAI....geezzzz sis...it's about 11 months to go...or more like 9 months before we really start planning and picking the destination.....

"When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love" - Robert Fulghum

Il y aura toujours quelque part un vide qui ne se remplit pas en moi.

Je passerai mon temps à me dire

Tu vois, ça aurait dû être toi.

Il y aura toujours une nuit infinie qui me suivra partout

Il y aura toujours quelque chose de toi… de nous.

---------------------------

It’s been a time of reshuffling and transitioning and I think its all in place now. I'm glad to leave this year behind and start fresh. Its’ a brand new year, with brand new career paths, friends, loves, and adventures ahead….I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and jump….to a new life is waiting round the corner.......

Oh yeah, and I got a new "do" too.

Even years after we broke up, I never can really be completely free from my exes….

My first 13 yr-relationship ex: He is still now my closest friend so we do communicate regularly….even though he just recently has someone else now in his life 5 yrs later after we broke up….

The ex-Frenchie…keeps on pounding me w/ emails….begging me to reply which I refuse to!

And now…..I receive an MP3 players for Christmas w/ tons and tons of sappy love songs……as a gift from "him"…..

I went out on light dates a few times w/ this fun-loving-super-kind-cute Aussie mate – that works w/ my bro….he asked for my email and phone# so we could keep in touch but I sadly declined….NO more LDRs!!!!

The dude at my work finally had a nerve to ask me to have a drink……I reluctantly declined….I don’t want to get tangled up in a mess w/ someone I work w/….the lesson I learned well from the ex-Frenchie….

Emotions stretched to a maximum the entire week, I don't know how to face things with a clear head as I did before…..

Reconsidering….??????

Getting close to someone, to truly love another, is probably the most courageous act we humans do. It's the most volatile risk we take with our lives, knowing that the gamble could either success or fail. Though the risks could be catastrophic to our very fragile hearts, the chance of knowing real love is far more precious. So with care and precaution, we gently open and expose ourselves to the other. We learn, we feel, we secretly hope that they will do the same. And not just do the same, but stay that way for futures to come..I feel very vulnerable at this point.

All I want is for time to turn back... but it never will.

Life have been really busy and tiring of late. Been going out every single day….which is of course fun-fun-fun but definitely exhausting....

I have been told by numerous sources that blogging HAS to recommence ASAP!!!!!!!

This weekend I will...LOL!!!
