Stats

WTF.
I made a post recently that this blog is getting massive hits cause of my one Carrot Top post.
Look at the stats. What the hell!!

Avoiding this blog.
I'm super into my other blog now soooooo if you're a reader of this one, read that one instead!

Adorable!!

Irregular Choice shoes are da bomb.

Coincidences.

Raaaaaaaandom!
A few days ago I was creeping someone's facebook... someone I went to school with when I was real young. Through her photo's I saw someone else from those year's and just thought "Heyyyy, I remmeber you!" and it spawned all these memories.

I just saw her at lunch. It's been like 15 years. WTF!

I also had a funny moment yesterday. I don't feel like going into it so I'll give the quick notes.

Reception calls me saying "Someone is here to see you. You don't know her, but she knows you". Weird. I go, and as I walk up the lady realises I'm not who she thought I was. She was looking for Nora (same last name as me). WTF. She says she randomly walked into our agency and when she realised it was an agency she remembered her daugher's friend Nora (same last name as me) works in advertising so she'd test out her luck. So not Nora, but Narine works here. Odd. Anyways, we laughed for a sec and the random coincidence. Then she proceeded to try and set me up with her son. But he likes blondes, so I'd have to go blonde. Then, we realised we actually do know eachother (All Armenians do). She knew my family history and everything. It was odd. I later called my friend who's family knows her and yea, apparently she's a crazy lady haha.

So, what I'm saying is that there is a Nora (same last name as me) working in advertising. If you facebook creep her as I did, we listen to similar music and watch the same shows and movies. Who is she!?!

Ok what the hell... I'm getting hundreds of views a week purely because of the one post I made about Carrot Top.
Too bad the rest of my blog isnt that interesting!

I just watched the movie 'Moon'.
Loved it.

This morning on the treadmill the following song came on and I remembered being obsessed with it like 5 years ago.

I think it may have started up again. Such an odd song.

lalalala I've been neglecting you, blog.
Friday. Love it. I have one project on the go and I plan to finish it as early as I can. Things keep coming up though. Noooo. Today is supposed to be easy.

I found this in a random google search for something else and I love it. I want to have a theme party. I don't think I know enough people who would come. Those who do wouldn't really care for the theme but would be there just for the food and/or drinks.

Ok I really have nothing to say right now because I'm consumed about work related thoughts.

Good Friday to you.

Ugh.

Just a frustration I feel like bitching about.

I got a seat on the subway this morning and I could tell right off the bat the lady next to me was going to be annoying. First she got all fidgety and took her big ass coat off which only revealed she had an oversized fleece sweater on underneath. lady, check the weather network in the morning, it's gonna be nice out today. Anyways, so after she does something I hate. Eat on the subway. She pulls out one of those Chinese buns with the ham and cheese. Delicious, yes. Not something I want to smell at 8:15 a.m. and hear being chewed. People need to learn to chew with their mouth closed. Anyways, when she was finally done she packed it away but then I could smell the ham breath. Then, she took out a hankercheif and constantly kept wiping her face down. No doubt cause she's sweating from wearing fleece on the TTC.

Anyways, eventually I zoned out and ignored her.

Reading this, she just probably sounds like a normal person but for some reason she bugged the hell out of me.

That is all.

Been a while.
So, in a nutshell, the last 2 weeks have been consumed by working out and eating healthy. I feel like I'm suddenly on some life changing thing. Anyways, I started another blog which is more of a food diary. Helps me keep track of what I eat.

Thought I'd share it here... http://colourfulchaos1.blogspot.com/

Thanks Michelle. I like it enough to post.

Sometimes I just want to tell someone to fuck off.
I bet they know it too.

Whoa, I haven't written since last Wednesday.
Shit, italics. Hmm, I kinda like it.

No, I don't.

Hmmm update... my life is consumed by gym and eating healthy.

ok work took over and I got busy. Will update later.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

Yea, I'm not writing it allll out but long story short, today I got a personal trainer. No money but who gives a shit. What's money when it's about your health! Friday, 5:30, first session.

I am picturing myself like on that show Biggest Loser where the person pushes you so hard you throw up.

Fun Narine fact: Last time I threw up I was 17, working at Baskin Robbins, got sick. Threw up in the bathroom, got right back to work.

So. Good luck to me.

The guy giving me my assessment today killed more of my dreams. I try so hard to eat healthy at home but all my choices end up being bad. I thought I had a good thing going with the following...

My usual snack: Activia Yogurt with strawberries and granola... healthy? No! Apparently yogurt is crap and full of sugar. Same with granola and strawberries. WTF.

For dinner I was scared of what to eat cause everything scared me so I put asparagus and mushrooms on my new griddle and ate it. It wasn't tooooo bad but meh, boring.

ok I'm rambling. Goodnight.

love it!

I've been eyeing that table for like over a year. It's from IKEA.

Ugh.
I bought hot rollers thinking I'd have awesome curly hair. Noooooo.
I look like an idiot. What makes hot roller any better than a curling iron? I like my curling iron.
I paid $50 out of a gift card I had. Do I return it? Can I? It's used now. I don't know if I'll ever use it again and I'm mad.
Practice makes perfect? I'll have to keep trying.

Update: Ok. I like it. I woke up and it looked better... I just had to touch it up with my curling iron. So, together, hot rollers and curling irons can work magic.

Face Off... not the movie.

Last night was the season finale of Face Off. This reality show I got into. It's a bunch of people who do special effects make-up. Anyways, I got a crush on Connor right from the start and then he ended up winning.
I pick winners. hah.

Watch his little audition here... cause i know you really want too.

Ok Friday 3:30... go faster. I want the wee-end!

Flickr

I love this girl's Flickr account. So colourful!

Stuff.

Hmmm nothing worthwhile to say... but I have pictures!

Last week-end I painted my room. Here is a snippet of it.

... and here is a shot I took from my coffee table that I liked. Too personal? Meh.

Lastly, I had some friends over tonight. Call it a "Girl's Night". We stuffed our faces with all you can eat sushi then came back to my place and played board games. Conveniently, the Sex and the City movie was on. We watched it. Oh, I made 'popsicle brownies'. Copied from a blog I found. Click here.... her's are prettier. Mine were done quick.

Sunday tomorrow. Going to the parents house to eat their food. hah. I'm serious.
Bye.

Awkward hug.

"I think what defines a person is what you do when no one is watching".

There's some Blue Jays commercial on TV right now and one of the player's starts off saying that. It keeps sticking with me. It's true. You're really the true "you" when you're alone and no one is watching.

That's all I got.

Love it.

I guess I could have a lot to write about but I'm feeling lazy.

Update without picture. Although this would be a lot more exciting wth a picture. I painted my bedroom. I woke up, googled the closest place to buy paint without travelling (how convenient, right beside my grocery store!) came home and painted the back wall of my room a darkish pink/purple. I love it.
I also went to Ikea yesterday and bought a new duvet cover. So I feel like I have a brand new room.

WINNING!*

haha. Ok I'm not going to do that ever again.

* Charlie Sheen inspired verbiage.

I smelled Swiss Chalet in the lobby and now I want it.

Update: I did the right thing and went to work out. On the way back up the elevator, there was a Swiss Chalet delivery man in there. What the hell!!

Boys at the gym

So I just came back from the gym in my building. I hate walking in there and seeing men. Not for the reasons you might think. I'm not self conscious or something and feel shy. No. I hate how cocky men are. Or, at least that's how I see them.

Guy today: Does a rep of weights, flexes his muscles in the mirror, goes back to weights, checks his muscles out again. What? Do you think you're getting buffer by the minute?

Random other guy: On a mat on the floor, shirtless, with a laptop playing some exercise video he is following. Why couldn't he do this in his own living room?

I don't know why this bothers me so much. I just want to yell at them all and say stop staring at yourself in the mirror.

I think ultimately this is how I would want my hair... but I don't think it's possible.
Random google search. Poor girl has no clue her pic ended up on a blog. hah.

Stuff.

Last year I had a housewarming and my friends got me these... cupcakes, ice cream cups and bowls.
A nice photo came out of it and thought I'd share.

I have nothing exciting to say.

The internal debate is on whether I put this blog on facebook or not. Once I make it a link on there, it's official. I will have stalkers I don't know about. I am happy having stalkers I know right now. Way back when I used to blog all the time. More like LiveJournal or Xanga. I got waaaay too personal and eventually realized my friends were reading it and I don't know, I stopped. I was also like 18. What the hell did I know.

Thinking of 18 year old me just got me looking through old folders of pics. I miss my old hair! Yea so I blurred my face, whatever.

I miss being able to dress 'young'. This was only 6 years ago!

Let's see what else I can find... ah, the tattoo I once wanted.

 A photo I took that never saw daylight. Now it has.

 Just a photo I took.

Ok I'm bored of this now. Goodnight.

Trent Reznor.

His Oscar win like 5 minutes ago just got me googling "Trent Reznor" because you know, that's what we do in 2011.
Is he on the current hottie list? Yes.
I can't believe I just said hottie.

I hate when the fire alarm goes off in my building. It's scary.

We have I think 23 floors and you never know whether it's some fucker who just like left their door open while cooking and the smoke went into the hallway or a real fire. I envision a huge fire every time and having to be stuck in the staircase with smoke everywhere.

Great, the security just said it' on the 4th floor. Noooooo. I'm on 10. Now I am picturing the smoke rising.

I will stand by with further instruction as security just said over the PA. I can tell it's Hari. He has an accent and can barely say what he's supposed too. It makes me feel embarrassed.

ok he's back. wtf. it's the 19th floor. that's better. I hear fire trucks now.

The good thing is the alarm is masking Kirk (kurt?) Douglas' speech thingie on the Oscar's. He's super old and it feels like he can barely talk. I don't want to hear it cause it'll likely make me sad. 

I may as well leave this one til there is a resolve. Cause well, you obviously care. This could be my last blog before I burn to death. There, my mind went somewhere dark once again.

Aww, Melissa Leo won the Oscar for The Fighter. Nice. HAHAHA! She just swore on live TV. love it.

Ok. Alarm off. False alarm. Ugh. So awkward. I think the security guards have a script during fire alarms cause they always say "Thank you for your consideration" at the end. That makes no sense. Someone fucked up the script.

Hi.
I find it hard to do anything on a Sunday.

Today
Woke up at 11 a.m.
Breakfast, TV, absolutely nothing
Nap on the couch from  2:30 - 4
4 - 5 Dinner, Smoothie
5:34 p.m. Now. Watching "The Real Housewives of Orange County"

Forcing myself to get up and work out. Tomorrow is boot camp. Bah. I realize I enjoy the stuff that involves weights but when it is something like the "Superman". Oh God. Yes, let me essentially lift my entire weight off the ground for 1 minute. I can't. I fail so quickly. Need to practice those.

Ok. 6 p.m. gym.

Stupid Monday tomorrow.

Crush.

Carrot Top

Is he worth blogging over? I don't know. What the hell happened to Carrot Top over time?
I feel like I only remember him from when I was younger and he'd always be on Regis and Kathy Lee.

Weeeeeeeeird.

Summerheights High.

Good show.

People I don't like

The chick from MTV Live.
Every time the show starts I make sure to quickly change the channel so I don't have to hear her voice. She feels fake to me. She has this stupid laugh and ugh, she needs to eat a Cheeseburger. Just don't like her.

.... and her. From Breakfast television. I used to watch it but now her voice gets to me. She makes stupid jokes and puns constantly and I feel like everyone around her secretly hates her.

End of hatred post.

No carbs for one month. Starting Monday.
I have some carbs in the fridge right now I need to get rid of. I can't let it go to waste, that's money down the drain! Should be done in the next few days.
Eeeeeeek.
I'm not ready. I need to try it though.

I gave up the red meat this year. I failed very small twice! I had a tiny bite of beef. But still going strong otherwise.

Side bar: I just got a knock at my door. No one knocks at my door! To my surprise, it was the woman I rent one of my lockers too here to pay up for another year. Score! $300. Meet my savings account. I'm boring.

Forcing myself to work out now. Nothing on TV.

Crafty Kathy

Once upon a time I used to do a yearly thing called The Clothing Show.
I miss it. I miss being creative and making stuff. The excitement of making something and seeing the final product.

Year 1: 2006. I made clothes then. I shared a booth with Fashion Whore. She's gone on to bigger and better things now. Sewing was fun.  I made that cherry top on the mannequin! :) Everything else is a mish mash of both our stuff.

Year... others. I switched to jewelry. Loved it much more. 

Good times. I met some fun people at these craft shows and made some quick money on the side. My boxes of beads are all currently in my closet.  They deserve a comeback.

Shameless plug: Check out my Flickr to see who I used to be.

Goodnight.

Food

So Loblaw's on a week-end afternoon seems to be like Costco, samples everywhere.
Love it.
I'm not one of those people who are sampling so I can have my lunch. I'm genuinely interested in trying new things. So last week-end I tried something.

Some good crackers... plain goat cheese... and this Aylmer Garlic & olive oil tomatoes. Mix the cheese and tomatoe's together and spread on cracker. YUM!

I enjoyed my first little bit so much I went for seconds. Yea, this is better in small doses. I feel barfy.

I also just google'd canned foods. Are they bad? I learned not ALL are bad, but most. Most are put in this chemical to keep it from going bad (makes sense) but still. This tomato thing. I feel like I could've got some tomatoes, olive oil and garlic and made it myself. Probably healthier.

The more you know!

Stuff

About a month ago. I made dinner for the fam. Can I cook? No. Can I go on google and find 'easy recipes'? Yes. Turned out well. See photo.

Here was the menu.
Asparagus with balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Spinach salad
Roasted potatoes
Zuchinni stuffed with rice and veggies topped with cheese and sunflower seeds
Chicken breast, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon
Hummus (provided by my mom)
Sarma (stuffed grape vine leaves, from my mom)

That is all. I enjoyed it. I know, you care. I think I enjoy cooking but damn, it costs money. I fed like 12 people that night and yea, it costed me. I mean, I enjoyed it and was happy to do it. But ya, I can't do it very often.

I have vanilla frozen yogurt in the freezer and it's taking everything in me not to go have some right now.

la la la 11:30 on a Sunday night but I don't feel depressed that work is tomorrow. God bless holidays that arent really holidays. Family day. Day off.

I slacked Fri/Sat with working out. I had a plan in place but out of nowhere I got really busy and went out. Didn't help that I went to "Asian legend"... basically it's ordering a whole bunch of dishes and sharing. Damn you Cantonese Chow Mein, you are delicious. Today, I went to the gym twice. I love walking in and seeing no one there. I feel free-er. I blast cheesy music through my ipod without the fear that someone can hear it and is judging me.

I joined a boot camp. It's been a great help in teaching me new work outs at the gym. All the things I do there twice a week, I can all do at my gym too cause it's the same machines. I do want to buy one of those big ball things. Next time I'm out. How do you blow those up? With your own air? That's scary.

I'm rambling. Watching "600 pound mom" on TLC. I don't know why. Wait, I do. This is what is keeping me from going into the freezer to get that ice cream.

ok bye.

It's Saturday.

I woke up at 11:30. Sold an old cell phone for $80 at 12 p.m. Came back home, felt weird so I went back to sleep from 1:30-5:30. Woke up, made dinner, went and worked out, and now here I sit watching shitty TV. What a day!

Tomorrow, I plan to be useful.
