Mix and Match

Co-worker K recently signed up for a membership at Match.com. For the past two days, I have been shown pictures and profiles of guys who have "winked" at her. See? This is why I seriously think that I will be single forever (in addition to not seeing any guys during work hours): I'm not the type of person who would date complete strangers. That's too much for me. HaHa. Anyway, today, I checked out the website and realized a few things:

1. There are *a lot* of single people in this world. Amazing, isn't it?
2. Yet, these single people aren't lusting after fellow single people. When was the last time you had set up a single friend with another single friend and they clicked?
3. The guys that my co-worker found attractive are exercise buffs yet they're single. Hence my theory that looks (or money) are never enough.
4. Where are the cute Asian men?
5. First impressions do count...so use spell check and grammar check when creating a profile. Trust me.

I just went back to Match.com to see if I could add anything else to my previous post. After filling in the search criteria, I got back a Filipino guy's profile. He's an Atenista (at halata naman na Atenista yung sumulat ng profile)! He's from Seattle! And he's not afraid to say that his body type is best described as "a few extra pounds." I'm a little bit scared though because he wrote that his hair is blonde. I have visions of Asi Taulava in my head right now. Eek!

Anyway, he only has one picture posted. I have a "one-picture-only theory" so I'll wait until he posts more (If you're wondering what this theory is, let me just say that I only have one picture up on Friendster. Need I say more? HaHa). If he posts more pictures, I'll have Co-worker K get in touch with this boy and I'll tag along when they meet. >=P

The Big 1-4

It has been fourteen years to this day. Amazingly, homesickness isn't too bad around this time (Is it still legit to be homesick after fourteen years?). Regardless, I think it's time for a change already. Where to go, I do not yet know.

Junk Be Gone

Last night, Papa Norton told me that my computer had a virus. What did I do? I reformatted my hard drive again. However, that didn't solve the problem. If anything, it angered the stupid virus because my computer kept shutting down when I would log on to the internet. *SIGH. At least I know what I need to do to get rid of it after searching the internet, but still, I'm tired of re-installing all of my downloaded programs (e.g. AIM, Yahoo Messenger, WSFtp. HeHe). I hope this is the last time for now. *SIGH.

After three years of hiatus, I am back on eBay selling some of my Sanrio collection. I dug through the box that was in the guest room's closet last night and I found all these Hello Kitty plush that I have totally forgotten about. Geez. I was also hoping to sell the 10 or so TY Beanie Babies that I have, but they're not selling well anymore on eBay. Dang it. It's amazing how much money we spend on crap we don't really need. I swear, I must start refraining from buying cutesy-wutsy stuff from now on. I might also put back my "Stuff" page on my website, where you can buy my stuff from me. I'll do that in June after the Colorado trip.

80s Revived

I just rediscovered Swatch watches. I would wear my old ones from the 80s since I still have them, but I'm pretty sure they don't work anymore because I left the dead batteries in them for at least 10 years now. HeHe. Anyway, some of the ones in the 2004 Spring/Summer collection are really cute. I would love to lust over some of the plastic ones, but they're just going to make me look even younger. HaHa. I fell in love with the "Flower Orchestra" one from the Irony collection, pero no tengo dinero ahora. As a substitute, I'm using a Swatch wallpaper on my computer. {;P

Game Na!

I think I am actually going to do it. I think I am actually going to step outside of my comfort zone and move out to another state/country by the end of this summer.

How do I know? Because I even downloaded MSN Messenger last night so that I could talk to Danny and find out the 411 about landing a job in a certain multinational company in Singapore. Earlier in the day, I had e-mailed my resume and cover letter. However, after I talked to Danny, I found out that the position has already been filled. Sayang, pero okay lang.

Anyway, I think it's obvious from my posts regarding my Vancouver road trip and the reformation (ack, is that the right form of the word?) of my hardrive that once I have made up my mind about doing something, I'm going to do it. Whether I'm prepared or not, I won't back down from the challenges that I have set for myself. Kaya katakot talaga. LoL.
