I've Been Tagged

I know this has been long overdue but here's my version Ivee's tag.

You share 8 things that your readers don't know about you. Then in the end you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

• Each blogger must post these rules first.
• Each blogger starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
• Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 8 things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

HERE'S MY 8 Random Stuff:

1. I have a cupboard full of food in the office pantry.

2. My optician said that I'm gonna need to start wearing glasses. I found a pair from DKNY for a steal! (At Souk Madinat, of all places.) 

3. I eat 2 spoonfuls of Nutella before I leave the office.

4. I just had my nails painted fluoro-pink!! SHOCKING!! Thanks Lily!

5. I'm starting a teapot collection.

6. I only know 5 words in Arabic:

• Shukran (Thank you)
• Mafi Fulus (No money)
• Shuhada (Whatever)
• As-Salamu Alaykum (Peace be upon you)
• Mafi Mushkila (No problem)
• Kalas (Done)

7. I know how to bake.

8. I prefer my tea without sugar!

GIMME SOME LOVE

Oh Crap

It's 11:30. I just got home from a long day at work. Ate Elisa and I got really hungry bitching about the creeps at the office so we stopped over at Burjuman to stuff ourselves with sushi on a conveyor belt. We then headed down bank street to the computer plaza to have her computer guy re-install MS Office and increase the RAM in my semi-new laptop. I saved around AED900 (Php9000 or $245) by just replacing the memory to make it work faster rather than buying the model with the built in 2GB memory. I'm so glad!

You know what else I'm happy about? My friend Steve-o's back from Australia! Yey! Tomorrow I'm taking him with me to watch a movie with my Korean students. He'll be our test dummy to see how good their English listening skills are. I'm expecting him to say everything thrice. Haha! He's going to be a challenge coz he speaks the worst English accent. Can you imagine how an Italian Australian would sound? LOL! Kiddin, Steve.

Anyway, I do hope to finish doing my lessons by thursday night, and oh, my accounting too! I'm 3 months behind, oh Lordee. Then after that is Kuya Richard's birthday bash which is gonna be so much fun! Which reminds me - I haven't bought him a gift yet.

I'm also getting my hair cut on friday, if time permits. I'm gonna try that Chinese salon in Naif to get the kind of cut I want. I really don't have faith in the local salons coz the windows are all covered up you can't really see what's going on inside which is kind of freaky. I dunno. Coz I'm used to seeing salons that have glass windows so you can see what type of services they offer and if they really make their customers look pretty. You know, better safe than sorry.

I'm also starting to use the Whitening Kit my mama sent me. I remember now how much it stings. It's not very sunny now in Dubai, which helps because my face is peeling like I won't have anymore skin left. I hate this phase. Oh well... all for the sake of beauty...

Ok, gotta go rip my face off.

GIMME SOME LOVE

i have this thing...

at work: when someone says "hi, how are you?" i say "I'm good" or "Hi, I'm fine". Then comes the usual slpit second eye contact and awkward pause that i couldn't help but get dismissive. Now, I know I'm supposed to say "I'm fine, how are you?" but i often find myself asking them to get to the point (I'm good. Yes, may I help you?)I dunno. I'm usually not up for small talk in the office because i'm forever in the middle of something. this happens quite often when someone interrupts me with a phonecall. Or maybe I'm just feeling ugly that day and I don't want people leering in front of my desk appreciating my appearance. it's a discreet way of saying, "get off my back." hay...

you knw what? I think dubai is starting to suck politeness out of my system... oh no! I gotta get outta here! lolz

guys, you have no idea how busy I am these days. I only have less than 8 hours to do my pile of work each day and my pseudo-boss tosses me more way before i even get to bottom. i'm drownin' - halp!!!! huhu

anyhoo...there's this new guy in the office. he's irish and he's got this way of saying his sentences like they end with a question mark. it's like that girl in american pie talking (one day?... at summer camp?...)but she's tall, burly, and got a hairy chest. haha! Kiddin'. But my ghad it's so contageous. i often catch myself doing it. it's the Batangeño accent of english, let's put it that way.

but hey, he's a nice guy. nicest guy in the office - next to our boss of course. let's see how far he goes when people start showing their ugly side. good luck to you, my friend. good luck.

1 GAVE SOME LOVIN

Welcome Intrusion

I was trying to cross the street on my way home from work. While waiting for the green light, the stranger beside me smiled.

Stranger: Tired?

Me: you have no idea.

Stranger:

I raised my watered down cup of leftover iced latte.

Me: I already had some coffee but it doesn't seem to work.

Stranger: well... it's gonna take a while before your coffee sinks in..

Me: Oh I hope not.. Anyway, thanks.

The signal went green.

I've discovered I appreciate smiles from strangers more. It feels genuine and sincere and warm and... just plain nice. smile, people. make someone's day brighter.

Currently feeling: touched

Indecent Proposal: Someone Sent Me a Smile..

Hey I saw your profile, you're pretty interesting and pretty cute too. Anyway I want to put some excitement in my life and wanna try new things, maybe you'd be up for a discreet fling? I come from a good family and a good school, was a model and a ball player and above all I don't kiss and tell.As indecent as this sounds, I'm a pretty decent guy in general,I just wanna explore my wild side,live a little. Maybe you could leave your number or YM so we could talk about it if you're interested. -Reggie.

Actually, I'm more flattered than offended that someone uhm, "desires" me the way he does but as of the moment, I'm not really up for it.
