That's my Chinese name from now on. Li is the family name. Rui means flower bud, connoting beauty and elegance. Amen, Chinese people, amen! HeHe.
I had my business card translated in Chinese and that's the name that was given to me. I'm curious to find out what my Japanese name will be. I hope it doesn't translate to "Hello Kitty Freak." ;P

Say No To Drugs
See, this is why I don't believe in taking medicine when you're sick.
I came home on Tuesday feeling not so good. My throat felt weird and my temperature seemed to be higher than normal. I decided to take care of the problem right there and then by taking a dose of Nyquil. Did I feel better the next day? Nope. Five days later, I'm still sick. Although, after gargling salt water the past two days, my throat doesn't hurt as much anymore. However, that ailment was replaced today by a very red, and watery, left eye. I have no idea what viruses trespassed against me, but I hope they go away soon.
So, the next time you have the urge to offer me Midol, Tylenol, Claritin, or what-have-yous, please remember that modern medicine for some reason does not work on this body of mine.

Miss Universe
I would like to introduce our newest employee, Romina, to the team.
Romina is a graduate of the University of Washington with a Bachelor's
degree in business administration - marketing, with a communications minor.
She has worked in numerous internships, including a summer serving with the
U.S. Department of State/Embassy in the Philippines.
Romina is new to the seafood industry, and is very enthusiastic about
working in her new capacity as the Asia Marketing Specialist. Please join me
in extending her a warm welcome.
That e-mail was sent out today to both local and international people. Who says I'm not Miss Universe?! HeHe!
So the e-mail makes others think that I'm this dignified person...little did these people know that earlier this morning, I was locked out of our office for a good 45 minutes. I was so happy that it only took me a surprising 30 minutes to get from the boonies to the city, but the smile on my face quickly disappeared as I found out that my office key doesn't work! I had to wait until everybody got there at 8:30. See what happens when I try to defeat the forces of nature? HeHe!

Day One
I need to learn how to be an alcoholic.
Okay, okay, that's not something you guys expected me to say after the first day of my new job, but really, I need to learn how to drink in the next few months before I set foot in Japan unless I can come up with a believable excuse for the Japanese. After twenty-something years, I can't believe my good girl image is going to get tarnished! LoL.
New laptop. Flat screen monitor. Cellphone (with a camera, but I don't know how to use Motorola phones!). Own office. Window facing the street. New chair. New chair mat. New desk. Frequent flier miles pending. Don't bother asking me how my first day went. HeHe!
Eventhough the vent in my office is blowing cold air 24/7, I can't complain; I just need to bring all my winter clothes to work everyday. HeHe. As long as I get introduced to people and everything I need in order to do my job properly is set up, you won't find me complaining. We'll save the topic of traffic for another day. ;P
And to those who are always thinking of me, no, there are no cute boys in the office for me. Shame on you for keeping the hope alive! LoL.
