feeling better than ever, we're on fire. making our way back from mars

pet peeves:-

1) when you set your alarm clock and forget the am/pm detail. you then curse, wondering why it didn't go off in the morning/night and find that it does go off the exact time, just at night/morning.

2) icky aftertastes. good food is good fun but sometimes when you're just not feeling so good, a burp irrupts out spreading the smell causing nausea. orrr, just the taste alone is left in your mouth after a long period. gross fact, yes i know.

3) forgetting what one wants to say. ahhhh, how a tiny fact can cause you to go berserk. 'nuff said, i'm sure you've felt it before.

4) uncontrollable eyeteeth. we are only human after all? well, when you don't know how to estimate the exact portion of food you want and end up with an amount you think is satisfying, think again. wanting to puke your guts out would be and understatement for a pictured outcome.

5) deletion with no warning or confirmation. let's say you work hard on a project/video game/photoshopping a picture only to find out when you press exit and blank for a second, you accidentally hit the 'no' button for saving. and *poof* it's all gone.

6) shopping assistants sticking close. this doesn't apply to all though, i mean if you're sincere and just trying to do your job, i think it can be done without breathing down your customers neck, i'm just saying. but if you're the 'show me the money then you stay' creatures, i think we'd have more fun annoying you by staying.

7) everything in 3-d. yes, eversince avatar, the word three-dimensional can be heard everywhere you go.

8) facebook profiles without at least a picture to show who you are. no need for a camwhored collection, just one to see whether you might be someone known. still, if you have some genuine reason why you don't, then that's fine. but having wanting to see who are the people that added you but all you get is a cartoon picture or celebrity hearthrobs is in fact unnerving.

9) entangled jewellery. sorry, it's a personal matter that lost me one of my favourite pieces, but i'm sure many ladies might relate. you remember placing them someplace properly and when you take them out, they're all tangled up and if you happen to be annoyed at that point you yank 'em and they're gone.

10) last minute changes. i guess since being trained by the parents that sticking to a plan is crucial, i've always cringed when i hear the words last minute. not to say that it's always a bad thing, i mean how often do you have parents coming in and saying let's go shopping? when that line practically belongs to us kids.

11) the added letter 'z'/'x' in words. i don't get what's with the words 'wazz up/wuzz up' or a common one 'cox', is the 'x' supposed to be a silent or just a funkified 's'?. still, this may just only be me.

sigh, i guess this whole 'pet peeves list' is a way to stop me from climbing out the gates and catching a cab to watch 'you again' since nearby cinema's aren't even playing it!!*breathes*

heading into a crisis,chasing the years of my life

to those who weren't able to catch it, there was a big ass rainbow round the sun today!! granted it was scorching and blinding, it was worth the sweat and temporary blindness. :), enough of it to brighten one's day.

there's still time for me,time to buy and time to lose

as my previous status was down in the dumps, i've decided to pamper myself, or my stomach for that matter. a word of caution, if you've got an empty stomach right about now, save yourself the aggravation by not continuing further. first off the starters,
a nice amuse bouche. (sound familiar?)crab salad with avocado and bisque jellypan roasted scallops with roast garlic cream and crispy prosciuttopan fried goose liver with saba wine must and sweet potato galette
now for the main courses,
grilled duck supreme with goose liver and leg confit timbalelinguine with jumbo sea prawns and spicy cream pork sausageprime beef tenderloin with baked truffle potato cakewagyu beef cheek with celeraic pure' and fava beanspappardelle with goose liver, duck confit and truffle sauce

i'm just dreaming,counting the ways to where you are

you know it's not your day when.....
- your chosen outfit popped out a button
- all the stores you plan to go to are closed due to construction
- out of the watches you take out for repair, only the ones where you're not so interested in fixing are able to be fixed
- a nice foreigner comes up and asks for your opinion on movies and for once you blank and he gets the wrong idea
- the meal you ordered for brunch is delayed unbeknownst to you, so you unconsciously fill up on your drink til it arrives and your appetite's gone
- when there's an interesting moment you'd like to capture on film, and you forgot to bring out your camera
- when you decide not to buy a magazine but change your mind in the end only to find out someone else took the last copy
- when you try to relax at home after a long day with a certain movie in mind, you find out that it's stuck

safe to say this isn't my day.
