Nababalutan na naman ng yelo ang kapaligiran....
May kotse, sapilitan naman sa pagandar.
May pasok sa trabaho, wala namang lumalargang bus.
May kubeta, wala naman malinis na damit.
May sabong pampaligo, Irish Spring for Men naman.
walang deodorant.....
walang tabo........
walang sipilyo..........
walang pamango.............
walang tuwalya.........
May pagkain nga pero mas gusto ko pa mag-bawas.
Hay........East side...hayyyy........................

West Side Story
Mt. Vernon. West side.
Yesterday, my mother and I made a last-minute shopping to a nearby shopping mall. As usual, I bought a couple blouses, a hoodie (which are on sale! oh yes!!) and two pairs of shoes (I have 18 pairs of shoes now! VemSan will take over the world, one shoe at a time!! Pffft!).
The highlight of our night shopping though was when we dropped by Claires (an accessory store) :
It's almost 6pm. We're checking out the necklaces on display. One blondie went to the back door when, "What the... the lights went out?!??.....BROWNOUT ??! ** sparks of ideas** Madir, put those INEXPENSIVE necklaces in my clutchbag. Hurry up before power gets restored. No wait! take your time. They look clueless anyway! Oh! oh! oh! They really are clueless!! My gulay!!! Hahaha!"
JUST KIDDING! The truth is, the blondie turned off the lights (without saying any word to "US" - their only customers) as probably their way of informing us that the store is closing?! Did they do that because we're Asians? Or we look poor? Or because they're just simply uncultured? inconsiderate?
Same scenario in Safeway. This time with Caucasian siblings (2 boys, one girl; Age: 13 and below). The siblings bought only ONE bottled soda while I (who's next to them in line) was carrying a basket full of groceries. The kids saw me yet they continue to loiter, occupying the entire paying station of the cashier's area. Not because we're all of the same height doesn't mean they can treat me like that, heck no! Ayaw nila umi-sog, eto sa kanila -- BLAGGG! basket itself is now on the paying station/table! Never mind if I nearly smashed one of the kid's fingers. Bwahahaha. Engot. Engot kasi. Engot kasi. Makakapatay ako ng wala sa oras. Hahaha.
That's why I prefer living in the East side.

But all I need is chocolate
Wet Weather. Sightings of slothful co-workers - These made my day, grouchy. The thought of quitting (again?!) played in my mind. It's not hard for people to know that I'm upset because it really shows (or ganito lang talaga ang hitsura ko - gusot gusot?! hehehe). All the negative thoughts disappeared only after I consumed M&M Peanut candies given to me by my Latino co-worker. When he handed me the sugary treat, I right away asked him if it contains poison. That incites laughter of course.

V for.....
V for VemSan.
Take notice of my blog's URL. Yes, I'm back to using my old blogger ID. Reason being, VemSan is more google-able than ---------. Hahaha!
V for Valentine.
Ryan treated me to a Four-course fondue at The Melting Pot in downtown Bellevue. The meal costs US$68/person. My Chocolate Martini, which is served in a fairly-sized martini glass costs US$10.00! Quite pricey for a Pre-Valentine's dinner. Oh wait! I didn't shell out a single penny for it so, why complain? Hahaha. (Pics)

Then comes Valentine's Day. We had dinner at Olive Garden in Kirkland. (Pics)
Mama Sarah, our plan to go to a Morrocan Restaurant in Seattle didn't pushed through because I forgot to bring my coin belt. Kidding aside, this V-day celebration and a Football event on that very same night, made the traffic worst: from I-90 to 405 and of course I-5. Actually, it took me nearly two hours to get to Kirkland from Redmond. In case you don't know, they are neighboring cities! Eastside at its worst!
Who said V-Day is just for lover err...partners? I gave my mother a potted Campanula (to which she reacted, "These are flowers for the dead".), Valentine's card and a Strawberry Pie.

V-Day is the best time for me to raid my closet, look for a nice dress and strut it out as if it wasn't purchased in Walmart. Hahaha. Come to think of it, I looked decent without burning a hole in my pocket. Another hahaha. Kudos to my shopping-on-a-budget skill. One last time - HAHAHA.
Thanks for visiting my new web home.
