It's been exactly 2 months of nothing worth talking about. I was a friendster addict for a while. DirecTV went down and I have yet to reactivate it so I haven't watched TV for 2 months. I've been reading a lot. Eating a lot. Sleeping a lot.

Oh last week I went to an accupressurist in Torrance. He was so good! I never believed in accupuncture or any of that until now. He actually just uses the blunt end of toothpicks and he can cure almost anything! He examined my shoulders and neck muscles and figured out the reason why my jaw muscles locked up in the first place so now I'm getting it fixed. He also "balanced my hormones" by poking around below my knees. It's painful as hell but I swear by it. No more headaches, no more migraines, my back feels better and no more emotional outbursts. So guys, listen up~ this is an actual cure for PMS! hehe.

By the way, for an intriguing read, try Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. For something fun and girly, try Trading Up by Candace Bushnell.


That's right! I went to SeaWorld San Diego on Sunday. Actually it's the weirdest thing. Saturday night I had this horrible, horrible dream that Richard became a super-workaholic and we never did anything together besides work, work, work. So I woke up really, really cranky and thinking we really need to take time off of work to just enjoy.

We went down to San Diego with Anton & Jen to visit a supplier. Well the batch sucked and we had a whole day to kill so we went to SeaWorld! Being Memorial Day weekend, it was really crowded.

But still it was fun. Saw most of the shows, but we didn't go on any of the rides because the lines were too long.

Moley ate like half a bag of chocolate yesterday! Chocolate is VERY toxic to dogs and we were really, really worried because he was breathing funny and had diahrrea. Well so far today he seemed, okay, although his eating habits were a bit off. Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

We are for sure moving into a new office but it hasn't been set up yet as far as computers and stuff goes. We bought a new mannequin today, full body with no head. And... tomorrow we're going shopping again. I stole 5 items of clothing from the stock this week.. muuhaahahaha. Why work in the clothing industry if you can't have perks?? :p

This morning I got a call from my Aunt Rosanna in Toronto. Looks like her family is waiting to hear the details of my "graduation" so that they can come down and celebrate with me. It was hard for me to explain that no, yet again I am not graduating. In fact, I've pretty much forgotten about school altogether. I promise though, I will get everything together this weekend and contact all of my teachers on Monday.

Which reminds me I got my arthrocentesis procedure done on my jaw. The doctor told me that this is basically a 50/50 chance of unjamming my jaw and we'll know in 2 weeks. It was painful as hell. Basically it was like 5 injections into the jaw joint from the outside of my cheek, near my ear. It was a horrible, horrible experience. Well now I can open my mouth 40 millimeters whereas in January only 25 milli. Our goal is 55 milli~ which is the average jaw opening.

And I read the last installment of the Shopaholic series, hilarious, as usual. But reading an entire book about preparing for a wedding? Too much for me...
Wow I have shared my bowel movements with the rest of the world! Well it's nice to say that I am feeling much better now. I've moved on and am eating beef jerky, sushi, and other regular food.

We spent the day in OC today, visited a supplier in OC and stopped by the Costco in Norwalk. Wow. Remember when it used to be Price Club? The freeways were nice and uncongested today, for a change. Still not much work was done and it looks like tomorrow will be a busy day. We're a couple of days behind on shipping, there are now 4 double racks of clothing in the living room and no walking space. In fact the living room is so unliveable that Moley is starting to use it for his toilet. But then again it's our fault that we've been so busy lately, we haven't taken him out on a regular basis.

Other than going out today I watched American Idol. I can't wait for Clay Aiken to win. That last performance was just amazing. Today I filled out a survery for the management of our building. We get to complain as much as we can about the water damage that occurred during the last couple of heavy rains in hopes that the management will actually fix the problem in the building.

And blah. Today is such a blah day. I ate a lot of beef jerky. We hooked up a new printer but unfortunately it has NO parallel cable input so we cannot use our print server and AUGH it's such a mess.

We bought tons and tons of jeans. Can't wait to put 'em up online. Sell sell sell.

New Discovery: Books on eBay! Wow.. who would have thought :) I sell the ones I've read... use my paypal account to buy new ones... it's almost like the Cerritos Library! Anyhow I just finished Shopaholic takes Manhattan, and now I'm waiting for the 3rd book in the series to come in the mail. I love this series. It's very comical, and sadly a clear portrait of me and my addictive shopping habits. I must've ordered like 7 books on eBay last week. It's so fun getting all of these packages in the mail... it's like opening presents!

And media mail! Who woulda thought sending packages would be that cheap!

New season of Sex and the City is starting soon. To get in the spirit, I finished reading 4 blondes. (Candace Bushnell). I only liked the first story out of the four.
What a week last week was! It's all a blur now...

Last Tuesday I went to see Dr. Pullinger (Orofacial Pain specialist) to see what type of medication he can give me for my jaw before my "surgery". After running mad errands around LA, I was amazingly on time for my dreaded 2pm flight to Las Vegas. Unlike most people, I ain't a Vegas person. I was only there for 2 days for a trade show.

After checking into the hotel, Anton & Jennifer went to gamble. I was by myself (Richard was at home with Moley)... and rather than spending hours in the casino (which I hate) I decided to walk across the street to the mall. Not that I wanted to go shopping, but our Deluxe Suite had a kick-ass jacuzzi tub so I had to go get some bubble bath. (Wow who knew italicizing words could be so fun) So after 2 hours at the mall, I was back at the hotel room with nothing to do. I watched the game (Tuesday night.. y'all know which game I was talking about). It was so depressing I decided to go take a bubble bath.

Well the next day we were at the show for literally an hour. It was the worst. "Industry" show? My God... more like "We're trying to get IN to the industry" show. So, needless to say Anton & Jen returned to the casinos after lunch so... I returned to the room and took another bubble bath before my flight back home.

Then on Thursday Richard & I went to one of our suppliers and bought another batch of clothes. The rest of the day was spent working and catching up with the last two days that I was gone.

Friday came around and after working in the morning, we stopped by the USC Graduation. My cousin Gerry was graduating. Actually I saw Ernest Lee from high school there. It was kind of nice to see a familiar face, until my sister said, "Uh, isn't he younger than you?"... yeah, yeah.

Then Saturday we met up with Anton & Jennifer to work on the new batch of clothing. That night we decided to eat Ruen Pair. This... started a horrible, horrible chain of events.
