March Madness
Mar 27th
I admit I don’t follow the NCAA much. I decided to join my company’s pool for fun. As of 5:01 pm EST, three of my Final Four teams are officially in the actual Final Four. Isn’t that pretty cool? Who would have thought I would have guessed right? I guess ranking teams by their team ranking does have its perks 
It would be pretty funny if I won the entire pool. :thoughtful:
Happy Easter to those who celebrate it! I’m still sick. :roll:
New Gavin DeGraw pictures
Mar 24th
I love Gavin.
Even though there were so many teenyboppers at the concert, I still enjoyed Gavin’s performance. I do miss his wonderful cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”, but I guess he can’t sing that cover at EVERY concert. Also, I think he’s reach a point in his stardom where he can’t sing covers. This happened with my other love.
Speaking of John, I made a couple on my Sims 2 and guess what their names are? John and Teresa Mayer. John even proposed to Teresa. How sweet is that? Yeah, I’m really sick. I think I need to seek professional help. 
It would be pretty funny if John Mayer actually visited my site one day and read this disturbing entry.
I really love you John. You are awesome. I’m not a creepy stalkerish type. I swear. 
Good night friends. Wow I just wrote two entries back to back. (March 23 and March 24). You guys should feel blessed! 
Interesting subway ride
Mar 23rd
I’ve noticed that there are some very special people who ride the subway with me at 6 am. Today I came into the train and sat in my seat. This man with glasses and a book sat next to me when there were plenty of empty seats around me. To my right, a few seats down, a homeless man eating a donut and muttering words, sat down. I started to read my free AM-PM newspaper. At this point I was still wearing gloves because it was chilly on the subway. I accidentally grazed the man next to me with my left hand. He glared at me and told me to keep my hand to myself. I looked at him and the muttering crazy homeless man and decided to change my seat to the next train down. As I got up, the crazy book man looked at me and said “That’s right, you animal!”
So that is my story for today.
My throat hurts and my morning buddy is out sick. I have to fend for myself today.
New Year’s
Mar 20th
New Year’s Eve with the girls!
Sorry for the crappy entry. I was going to write about my exciting concert with the annoying teenyboppers, but I’ll save that for later!
I’m 43 minutes behind my sleep schedule! :tired:
New work schedule
Mar 15th
Wow this new work schedule is pretty crazy. I wake up at 5 am and get to work by 6:45 am. I leave work at 4 pm. I am back on Long Island by 5:30 pm. I go to the gym until 6:30-6:45 pm. I come home have dinner, help wash dishes, take a shower, catch up on e-mail and then go to bed by 9 pm. Today I’m going to bed at 10 though. I’ll probably be kicking myself tomorrow wondering why I didn’t go to bed at 9 pm like I did on Sunday and Monday night.
I guess I just need to suck it up.
In other news, I watched Garden State on Saturday. It was very good and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Zach Braff impressed me a lot. I had no idea a “Scrubs” actor could be so talented.
Okay I have to go to bed. Just wanted to let my 5 readers know that I haven’t forgotten you guys! :tired:
(3 days until I see Gavin DeGraw!)
Recent funny moments!
Mar 10th
I was testing someone in her SAT vocabulary. I asked her, “What does ‘discord’ mean?” She replied with, “It obviously means disconnecting from the cord!” I looked at her in disbelief.
HAHAHA.
Yesterday, NY was surprised with a snow storm. Of course it had to get real bad during rush hour. I waited about 20 minutes for my dad to pick me up from the subway station. When my dad finally came to our meeting spot, I got in happily. I looked forward to warming up my wet feet. Turns out that our car gets stuck on an ice patch. My dad says in a serious tone, “You need to go outside and give the car a little push while I drive.” I looked at him confused, and he said, “I’m serious, go outside and push!” I got out and attempted to push our Honda uphill while a ton of cars waited at the red light. They were probably all laughing at me. This little girl with a huge coat struggling to push a car uphill. I kept sliding back on the ice too.
I’ve decided to write shorter entries so you guys don’t get too bored. Oh here is another piece of good news. I’m going back to CMU for Carnival weekend. I’m so stoked. I finally asked my boss for vacation. Then I finally got to use my Dividend miles with US Airways. Hurrah! I can’t wait to party it up with my girls. 
Good night everyone!:tired:
By the way, I installed another spam plugin, so if your comment doesn’t go through (Sally!), please tell me! Thanks
A Delicious Weekend
Mar 7th
Last weekend consisted of a lot of good eating and movies. On Saturday, my family and I went to Eastern Noodles, this hole in the wall restaurant in Chinatown. There was a review in the NY Times about their delicious noodles. I got their famous Beef Noodle Soup. I saw the chef make the noodles in front of me. The service was very quick and I enjoyed my noodles very much. After that tasty meal, we walked around Chinatown and bought some cheap vegetables. I found a great deal for green onions. Eight bunches for $1.00! How amazing is that? Back in Pittsburgh, I could get one bunch for $0.75.
After we walked around for about thirty minutes, we got hungry again and went to have dessert at Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. I love this place because it has exotic flavors like almond cookie ice cream. Last time I went, they had a really yummy passion fruit ice cream. This time they didn’t, so I settled for green tea. Mmmm! I love ice cream so much.
Sunday, my family and I went to eat dim sum at my favorite place, Gum Fong. It was delicious as usual. My friend who met us at the restaurant was sweet enough to buy us a dozen of the famous H and H Bagels. My mom was very excited and after we got home, we decided to try it out. It was chewy inside yet a bit tough on the outside. It had the perfect mix of chewy and hardness. I was in love. Too bad their stores are located uptown, which is way too far for me. Maybe next time I visit my friend in the Upper East Side, I’ll buy more bagels. They are opened 24/7! These bagels were mentioned on Sex on the City on more than one occasion. That must mean they’re really good
Now to the movie section of my weekend. On Friday, I went to see Hitch with my little sister. I heard some pretty good reviews about the movie. I left the movie pleasantly satisfied. I wasn’t expecting an Oscar award movie, but rather an entertaining movie. I have always enjoyed Will Smith’s movies because of his sense of humor. Kevin James’ role in the movie was a surprise. I’ve never seen him in his TV shows, so I never knew that he could be funny as well. If you’re in the mood for a romantic comedy, this movie will fulfill your needs!
On Saturday, I went to see Million Dollar Baby. I have been wanting to see this movie for a very long time. I was really hyped to see it due to all the Oscars it won. Also, I was curious to see my first Clint Eastwood directed movie where he is actually in it. I expected a very dramatic and serious movie, but I was surprised to find that even Clint Eastwood has a sense of humor. There were some definite moments during the movie where I laughed out loud. Even so, this movie is indeed a drama, and during the second half of the movie, I really became attached to the plot and the characters. Honestly, I had no idea what would happen at the ending. It could have gone either way. I think that’s all I can say about the movie without spoiling it for you guys!
On Sunday, due to our excess amount of green onions, I decided to make homemade scallion pancakes. They turned out quite wonderful. My little sister told me that my pancakes were better than any pancake in Flushing or even Taiwan! She gave it a 10 out of 10. Why is it homemade things taste so much better? I love making homemade dumplings because they taste so fresh and healthy. I should make those next time I decide to get off my big butt and contribute in the kitchen.
In boring news, I got a raise at work, but this means I have to start coming in at 7 am. I also have to work 1 day on the weekend. I don’t mind working on the weekends since I lack any social life. I think I will have a hard time adjusting to waking up at 5 am instead of 5:30 am during the week.
Anyway, speaking of work, I should definitely go to bed now. By the way, thanks for all your suggestions in fighting spam. So far so good, I haven’t been bombarded with any poker comments yet!
Good night! :tired:
Comment Spam
Mar 6th
I am so SICK of comment spam. I installed this new comment spam plugin for WordPress and now it’s banning Sally. Why?! I had to remove that plugin and now I’m trying two other ones. Sigh. :stressed: I’m just sick of all these commenters spamming their porn and poker sites. :mad:
I don’t understand why my site keeps getting spam. I must get over 10 spam comments a day. Considering that not a lot of people visit my site, that is a lot! 
I don’t even get 10 real comments a day.
There was no point to this entry. If you know of a good spam plugin for WP, please feel free to comment. Hopefully, your comment will go through now. If you guys see any porn comments, I truly apologize.
Good night!
(I will write a more meaningful entry tomorrow.
