Okay, kids, I really need your opinion on this one:
Should I get the ones without the yellow thread, or the ones with the yellow thread? I've been sitting here for a whole hour, trying to decide, so please do give me your two cents.
Believe it or not, there's a difference between the two besides the yellow thread. The one without the yellow thread has a higher heel, and the color is not "smooth black." It's more grainy like real leather. The last time I had Docs (freshman year-high school), the yellow thread bugged me because it ruined the "all black look." However, now I'm thinking, if you're going to buy Docs, wouldn't it be pointless if they don't come with the yellow thread?
Decisions, decisions! Do help me out...and yes, both pairs are at my house already. It's all about sending one pair back to my beloved Zappos.

Freebies
Pardon my giddyness.
I just found out that city employees can take a fitness class for free every month. That takes care of my hip hop dance class dues. Then, we, as city employees, also get the fitness pass for free every month. That takes care of my gym fees. I don't need to go to Gold's Gym or Pure Fitness to workout! Hooray!
However, since I bought all of those new clothes for work, I don't want to lose too much weight now. Dammit, I really can't have everything. LoL.

Another Shopping Weekend
New mall discovery: Redmond Town Center. Eventhough I didn't explore it fully, I loved the place already simply because the store fronts face outside and you have to go through the indvidual stores' doors to get in. I prefer those than enclosed malls any day. See how picky I am with everything?!
From there, I went to Bellevue Square, then to my least favorite mall of all time, Southcenter. That's what's great about living here, you can hop from one mall to another versus in the Philippines, where you would be lucky enough to make it to one mall in one day. HeHe.
Anyway, total number of new shoes: 3, with another pair coming in the mail tomorrow. Too bad they're all for work. And believe it or not, I really hate shopping. I swear!

Good Things Come in Twos
I've never won a raffle drawing in my life. That is, until tonight. I won a $25 Rainforest Cafe gift card! I would've preferred the $100 Gene Juarez gift card, but hey, let's not be greedy now. HeHe.
But that is not why I feel like a winner tonight. People have been asking me about Job #1. However, they're not asking where I work or what I do. No, all these people want to know is if I'm working with a cute guy. Really, I'm quite touched. I can't believe that many people are still keeping the hope alive. Or are they just humoring me? LoL.
I've been meaning to write about that very topic on here since my first day of work one week ago. Because, sad as it may seem, I had almost accepted the fact that I will be single for life. Trust me, I have a million evidences to warrant such a conclusion. But since I have been tired every single day of the past week, I haven't had a chance to write about it. As always, things happen for a reason.
I have met so many people this past week alone. I went to the city employees' banquet last week. I have met the mayor. I have met city council people. I have met general managers of every single sector in the city. Out of all of these people, not one is remotely close to my age; not one is remotely a potential candidate for me; not a single one.
During the latter half of the day today, my co-worker told me that the photographer who took the pictures for our vacation planner will be dropping by in a few minutes. I thought, no big deal. Judging from all of the people I have met so far, Prince Charming is no where near me. After about half an hour, the office door opened and I...was...just...shocked.
Do you guys still remember that very first time I met/saw Dancing King? That was quite unexpected also. It has been two years since that happened, so it is nice to feel legitimately giddy once again. However, I know for a fact that I will not be seeing Picture Boy (hooray, a new nickname!) on a daily/regular basis. Once in a blue moon is more like it, so let's keep reality in check, alright? HeHe.
He's cute. Trust me, he's cute. He's tall. He has nice, soft hands (shut up people, he's not!). He loves photography (a dur!) and nature. He's nice, according to my co-workers (How to get MiNA to like a guy: Get 5 people she trusts to tell her that the guy is nice. In this case, 3 will do. HaHa). And, he's granola-ey. That's a new term I learned from my co-workers to refer to people who are simple and down-to-earth. HeHe. So tonight, all I've been thinking in my head is, "I'm granola-ey! I'm granola-ey!" LoL. Well, dammit, I am! HaHa.
I don't want a relationship with him (Traumatized Girl has spoken yet again!). Afterall, I'm insisting that my co-worker gets her act together and snatch this guy up. Why she hasn't after all this time is quite puzzling. Sure there's a conflict of interests, but hey, we can hire someone else to take pictures for us in the name of loOoOoOve. So anyway, I just need some inspiration, or at least, someone who will make me believe that my ideal guy exists. Hence, I just need someone to replace Elevator Boy in my heart, because after four years, I don't get why he's still in there. HaHa.
Would it be too much to start singing "It Might Be You?" LoL! Just kidding, just kidding!

Every Move I Make
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
There's 50 states. I have 49 other states to choose from. So why am I having a problem?
My Independent Living teacher in high school told our class to move out before it's too late to do so. Do it before you start a family. Do it before your job ties you down. Do it before your parents need you.
For me, that time that she's referring to is now. More specifically, after July of this year. The problem is I just don't know where to go.
California is too crowded and polluted. Illinois (Chicago), Minnesota (Minneapolis), Massachusetts (Boston) are too cold in the winter. Texas (Houston) is flat and humid. Arizona is full of retired people. New York is well, New York. The urban setting is sooo not me. Colorado (Denver) seems like it's in the running, but my cousin told me that there isn't much racial diversity and I can't live like that. So, where, where do I go from here?
