oh dream master, please interpret this dream for me.

this occurred in between snooze alarms, which is probably the only reason why i remember this one. 99.9% of the time i have no recollection of my dreams. anyways here goes...i dreamt that the cleaning lady suddenly came in and said she wouldnt do it anymore. but she was kind of acting all frantically and crazy. i woke up suddenly as if i had a nightmare and i was really relieved it was only a dream. now the funny thing is, i dont have a cleaning lady, my parents do (she comes every other week), and we have one for our office too (weekly). so i have no clue what this means.

retarded i know.

march madness is here. nothing beats it. i went very chalk this year.

we goin to Sizzzzzla, we going to Sizzzzzla.

was in LA last week from weds-sun (for work and then relax), we came THIS close to eating at a Sizzler. we were actually pretty pumped at the idea of it. nostalgic thoughts of childhood when eating out was sizzler, red lobster, or old country buffet. totally forgot that you had to walk to the front counter to order and pay. they had the huge display board on the wall, and each entree had it's own picture and they were tiled off in squares - totally 80s style. the pictures were quite depressing, the people in there were kinda depressing. i feel bad for being a snob. but yeah, it was almost our turn to order, we came to our senses and got the hell out of there before it was too late. we ran out laughing. so for my trip, the meals i had in order included: weds dinner: Magnolia (trendy comfort food place in hollywood), thurs lunch: Lucky City (awesome chinese food in Monterrey Park), thurs dinner: Siam (really good Thai place in Inglewood/Manchester), Fri lunch: The Perfect Bird (or something like that, near the airport - it was a buffet that had friggin King Crab Legs!), Fri dinner: Sheek Du Rak (best chadul ever, they actually had a power outage, but still remained open. it was dinner by candlelight with less crowds than usual), sat lunch: Ding Tai Phung (only the best dam soup dumplings ever!), sat dinner: walked into Sizzler, walked out, and ate at El Torito (it was aite, not the best mexican food ive ever had for sure), sun lunch: Mama D's (italian restaurant on Manhattan Beach).

pre-spring cleaning....

last saturday i spent almost my entire afternoon cleaning out my closet. i dont know what inspired me to do so, but 3 hours later i was very proud. basically i took out all the obsolete styles and clothing that i dont wear anymore, folded them nicely, and placed them in large garbage bags for salvation army. i filled 3 giant bags worth of clothing. i still had friggin stuff from my college days still in my closet. It was amusing to see the types of styles i had gone through - i had so many phases. back during college and right after college, i was pretty out of shape - so all my shirts were XL ginormous - i was pretty self conscience about it too (i still am). brand names included: Tommy, Nautica, Polo SPORT. Then after college, early workinig days, lots and lots of B.R., and lots and lots of Kenneth Cole haha which were the basic essential clothing lines that served multi-functional as work and clubbing. Back in those days it was 3 days a week, ginseng every single nite possible, and saga also! then i started working out and getting into better shape - so i went through his stretchy, shiny, tight fitting phase.  yeah i will admit, i still have some more form fitting shirts, but defintely not the caliber of what i used to wear. and yes some of my more comfortable shirts still have shorter sleeves which show the guns, but its all good. then i had my trendy, funny slogan t-shirt phase. I still held onto most of these. can never have too many t-shirts. "you dont know preston? preston...the dood wears t-shirts"

as i was finishing up, i took a few items out of the donation pile, and put them back on hangers. these were the more sentimental picks i wanted to keep. first mention is my infamous green Polo shirt (ralph lauren polo). this also included my fave flannel from high school (remember when flannel used to be in - grunge baby?). another fave was this cotton button down also polo brand, which i think is really nice and soft, but its just so dam huge on me now. i chose to save it because i foresee myself getting back to that form again one day. why waste money? also for shits and giggles i saved a perry ellis formal-vest that used to go nicely with z cavs, a crazy patterned rayon shirt buttoned all the way to the neck, and a couple sprays of Drakkar.   i used to have white z cavs. WHITE! ugh pretty sick. SICK as in, throw up in my own mouth sick, not dayum that 360 dunk was SICK!  happy friday. good bye

be very very honest......do you drool when you sleep? do you sometimes wake up to find your face touching a wetspot on the pillow?

me neither. just checking!

work has been hell lately. if i had hair, i would have pulled it out by now. our database hardrive crashed last week. and we stopped backing up our data sometime ago. The mere thought of having no data made me almost cry last week. but there is a god, and our data was recovered in full by the actual hardrive mfg  Seagate - who luckily had a branch here in chicago area. now we are just trying to get our server reconfigured to the way it was. so i breathed a huge sigh of relief on weds.

whats your favorite fortune cookie message? 

"You love Chinese food" is a good one.  Ive been getting nothing but negative fortunes lately. you must work on this, you must improve on this, dont be like this....etc....basically telling me im a piece of shit. hahaha

happy friday?

My Food Network Challenge

I have to started to watch Food Network more and more. I do like to cook, but it's hard to find time to cook consistently. Plus, since I live alone - it's not as fun to cook for yourself. Lately I fallen asleep on the couch to the likes of  Sandra Lee's show "Semi-Homemade". It is about quick dishes, mostly store prepared foods, but she can make it seem fairly gourmet with a few simple twists. She uses the word "fabulous" a little more than I can stand, but I can take it due to the fact that she is pretty dang smokin for a middle aged woman. going off topic, who takes the crown for most attractive Food Network host/chef/celebrity? Of course my personal fave will always be Giada De Laurentis. yeah she got kinda a big forehead but so what - so do I. It must be fate. Plus, she knows how to show off her goods, yet she does it in a not-so-slutty way. nah mean? i was going through the food network website and they list all the chefs and hosts, ever hear of Ingrid Hoffman? she is kinda hot too - but i have never seen her show. of course there is rachel ray, nigella, and paula! haha.

im going to sue the makers of the soymilk i bought recently. it stated lactose free on the carton and ive gotten the runz both times i have consumed cereal. i made a decision to try and eat healthier, which means eating more meals at home, and controlling my ingredients and food i use. part of that also included eating breakfast - healthy cereals. i had not eaten cereal in years. its been so long since ive purchased milk - and i actually looked forward to it. it has come back to bite me in the ass, and then my ass has turned around to bite me also.

gauntlet 3 has started! and i also enjoyed watching America's Next Best Dance Crew. That was aweosme. my fave team was a crumpin/booty shakin crew from florida. They were awesome. 2nd fave was the korean american group from cali - kaba-modern. crazy poppin.
