I'm still angry with one of my brothers. I yelled at him the other night for not cleaning properly the container he ate in. Imagine if I did not inspect the container he left on the sink to dry, the idiot would've just left it there with the hardened cheese stuck to the side. My mother would wake up in the morning angry if she sees that.
He is such a slob! And I hate him. I really do. If I could give him away, I would. I will not tolerate filth and laziness in this household. It's not like he's being asked to clean the entire house. All he has to do is pick up after himself. How hard can that be?!

Hoping...
Remember this?
Well, the last part is over and done with so now I wait.
Part of me is glad about the timing because it means that if things push through, I won't have to do anything till next year. But part of me is also scared at the prospect of starting again.

New Moon
I am very, very glad to let you know that New Moon is really good. And I mean really good. Way better than Twilight, which completely sucked IMO.
I loved the effects they did for the wolf phasing, chases and fights. It was awesome! It made the hair on my arms stand on end.
The sucky parts were very few, thank goodness. I hated the scene were Alice showed her vision of Bella and Edward running slo-mo. It was too cheesy. Cheesy, too, was the scene in the water after Bella got whipped by the waves after she cliff-dived. Too bad she didn't die because I swear it would have made me feel better. And it's not even because I want Edward for myself. The pasty-faced dude can go to hell for all I care.
And seriously, what were they thinking showing Edward's body right after having your eyes feast on Jacob's oh so delicious bod?! What the hell were they thinking? Seeing Edward's white-out white body and oh my god your body has got nothing on Jacob's bod made me want to puke.
All I really wanted to say was: get your sorry, scrawny, ewww excuse for a body out of my face, Edward!
Thankfully Jacob got his hair cut when he started going wolf. I swear long hair does not suit the face of the actor they cast as Jacob. It made him look horribly ugly. I couldn't get past how ugly he was with long hair.
But, really, I would definitely encourage anyone to watch the movie. It was really nice. I guess it's a plus that I can hardly remember the story of the first three books so it was like being tabula rasa when I watched New Moon.

I'm now in Hong Kong!
Hello there. How are you all doing? It's 1:15 in the morning and I'm not sure why I'm still up. I feel sleepy but I also feel like I should not sleep yet. I know, it doesn't make sense. So here I am typing away while Mayomee is sleeping. Yup, I'm finally in Mayomee's flat. Hehe! She has to go to work tomorrow and I'm going to sleep in a bit before going out to meet up with her after she's done with work.
It was an interesting ride to Hong Kong. Instead of taking the ferry like I did the first time I was here, I took the company shuttle with DS and with a bunch of other folks from the company who were also going to HK. It was too long a car ride and I don't think I'll do that again (if I ever have to go to Shenzhen again). The ferry, even though it made me feel dizzy, was a shorter, better ride than taking the car.
So May met me at the airport and she treated me to dinner at Delifrance. I got pasta (linguine bolognese) and hot lemon tea. We then took the train to go to where she lives. We went through a mall where I was sorely tempted to buy tops at G2000. The store had stuff on sale, too! It was an awesome walk towards her building. I loved it! It was cold but I wasn't feeling cold (I have an awesome jacket from the Weatherproof Company that I got at Marshalls real cheap). I could live in Hong Kong! :-D I want weather like this. Cold but no snow. It's awesome!
Oh at lunch today (or yesterday), DS shared some interesting stories from his college days touring with a band in Japan. It was also my first time to eat duck. The verdict? I don't like duck. The meat is too tough. I'll take chicken any time.
I have to remember to blog about my stay in Shenzhen. So far this has been my most tiring trip. Tiring because I was actually working from 8 to 5 throughout the duration of my stay. It *really* was a business trip. LOL. I'm just glad that this trip gave me the opportunity to drop by HK and finally visit May.
Okay, I think I'm ready to sleep. Till next time, folks!

Second to the last day in Shenzhen
I was going to go downstairs but I wasn't sure what to do. It's not like I want to go to the theme park (there is one across the hotel). Spending money buying stuff I wouldn't use doesn't seem like a good plan. And it's not like I'm not going to shop in Hong Kong because I'm sure I'll be shopping some, if not a lot. There's nowhere else to go unless I take a cab and ask to be taken to a mall. Never mind. I have some work to do anyway so I'll just stay in my room. I was actually on my way to the elevator thinking all this when I turned back and decided to just stay in the room. Hay, life.
So now I don't know what to get for dinner. I'm kind of thinking, maybe, pizza? But what about dessert? I've had the tiramisu and the cheesecake. There's nothing else on the menu that's calling out to me. I kind of want to have the cheesecake again, haha! Even though I wasn't really all that happy with it. I don't know what it is with me lately but I've been craving cheesecakes like nobody's business! I hope there's a place where I can get good cheesecakes in Hong Kong. Paging, May!
So... my colleague and I chatted a bit in the car on the way back to the hotel. He was telling me about his family. I was mostly listening and commenting---okay, *mostly* listening. I tend not to talk a lot when I have only met someone for the first time. It's not that I'm uncomfortable being around him, no, it's more like I don't know what to say because I'm not interesting and I don't do anything interesting. I don't have any activities outside of work and home. Malling and eating out are notinteresting activities. He's an interesting guy, very nerdy, very geeky. You should hear him talk about the project we're doing---very intense! Too bad he's married. LOL He has a twin brother, though, but with my luck he's probably also married. And, no, I don't have a crush on the dude. But I will admit that he is crushable. I mean, hello, someone who is the chief officer and chair of a standards organization? C'mon, how many times do you meet guys like that? I can't tell you what organization it is because it's a dead giveaway. And he might be someone who googles himself. I don't want him clicking on my blog.
I gotta tell you, the hainan chicken rice (or hainanese chicken) that I had for din din last night was not what I expected it to be. I mean, sure, there's a lot of it but it didn't taste as good as I thought it would. I've had better hainanese chicken in the Philippines.
