This month…

I like the idea that there are so many special celebrations taking place: Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day and my mom’s birthday.

I don’t like that Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day fall on the same day! I wanna celebrate both but not at the same time!!!

I want you to know that sometimes I think about quitting my job. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I like what I do but I don’t feel like working there anymore. A fresh start at another company, new challenges and opportunities, that’s what I want. Anyone looking for a web writer/web editor? Contact me!

I’ve planned to eat more healthy foods. But how on earth am I going to do that when there’s the Spring festival, V-day and a birthday coming up?? Damn it! CNY delicacies, Valentine’s chocolates and birthday yummy treats all in the same month!!! @_@

I want to say to someone special… Hey baby, what’s the plan for next weekend? Remember? It’s Valentine’s Day… and CNY!

It’s been a very busy week, but a good one. I didn’t even have time to get bored at work! O_o  And I completely forgot to post my Wordless Wednesday entry . Sorry about that but I’ll catch up next Wednesday, ok?

*sigh*

See, this is the kind of week I try not to look at as a whole. Instead I take one day at a time, so that things seem a bit more manageable. Oh well, tomorrow is Friday and I can’t wait! What are you guys up to this weekend? My weekend will be more or less like this :

As you can see, I’m planning on sleeping, sleeping and more sleeping! And when I won’t be sleeping, I’ll be stalking people on the internet. Mwahahaha!!!! *evil grin*

Smile people! The weekend is just a few hours away!!! *(^O^)*

Oh by the way, how do you like my new blog header? Super cute, eh? I decided to change the banner for February. With Valentine day just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to have something all mushy gushy, lovey dovey on the blog!

It seems like yesterday when I was ringing in the first day of 2010 and somehow we are already in the beginning of February! Time flies. It’s funny you know, because it’s hard to articulate what I’ve done but every day has just felt really busy.

The month of January ended on a pleasant note because we had a long weekend! Woohoooo! It feels so good waking up on a Monday morning and remembering it’s a holiday!!! The sun was already high up in the sky when I finally decided to hop out of bed. I still felt pretty lazy after my shower but the smell of fresh brewed coffee was all I needed to help me get a jump start on the morning. Don’t you love the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning? Doesn’t the heavenly scent of rich coffee lure you to the kitchen? In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a caffeine junkie. And I’m very selective about my coffee. I always say: A good cup of coffee wakes you up and brightens your day. A bad cup leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth. Ok enough with the coffee talk!

Where was I anyway?? So yeah, the weather was hot and it was the perfect day to hit the road. I love long drives. And long drives to nowhere with the right person is what I like best! Just being together without having to rush anywhere is bliss. It gives me a feeling of eternity. Thank you for the drive, LaSh .

And this afternoon my plan was to exercise indoors but when I got back, I had about enough energy left to… well, not work out! So instead it was some lovey dovey hugs with baby boy and a well deserved cat nap. Usually I don’t like Mondays but I have to admit that some Mondays aren’t so bad after all!

*sigh*

I have a busy week ahead but I rather not think about it tonight. Right now all I want is just go to bed. I’ll deal with everything else that needs to be taken care of tomorrow.

Have a lovely week people! xoxo

You know how there’s sometimes a theme to a certain day? Like you come across a lot of disturbing people or see many handsome guys all on the same day. Well my Saturday was pregnant women and babies day!

This morning LaSh and I went shopping for baby’s gifts. *cough*
Just in case a crazy thought is crossing your mind right now, nahhh I’m not pregnant! I was invited to a baby shower this evening and I wanted the boyfriend to help me pick up gifts for the babies.
*nodding* Yeah! Not for one baby but for three! There were three mommies-to-be at the baby shower! (@_@)

It was my first time attending a baby shower and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. As far as I know, baby showers are not very common in Mauritius but I’ve seen it so many times in movies and I was thrilled about the whole thing. Music, flowers, balloons, cut-outs of teddy bears, moon and stars, finger food, cakes, tea… It was all perfectly planned and everything looked so pretty.

If you ask me, my favorite part of the baby shower would be the games that we played. Ok, they were kinda goofy but they totally added fun to the party! Hahaha, oh and the string game had me laughing so hard that I think I almost cried! You know, where the girlfriends have to guess the mom’s tummy size just by looking and then cutting off a string the length they believe would fit perfectly around the mama-to-be’s belly. Oh god, most of us got it wrong and erred by several inches on the larger side!

I knew the baby shower would be fun, but I truly did not realize just how exciting it would be. I remember I got the warmest feeling while looking around the room and seeing the three moms-to-be glowing with happiness. Now when the time comes, I want my friends to throw me an incredible baby shower as well!

I am not a regular bus rider but whenever I travel by bus, some people never cease to amaze me. For instance, I hate it when people carry shopping bags or huge purses and they think their bags are actually entitled to have a seat on the bus! It’s ok if there are many seats available but when people are boarding the bus and walking down the aisle looking for a seat, can’t they put their goddamn bags in their lap and let those people sit down? (õ_ó)

Something else that really bothers me… If you stink, don’t sit next to me! Last week I had to take the bus back home and I was close to suffocation thanks to a blend of all sorts of undesirable body odors from some inconsiderate bus riders. There was this young girl in front of me who had coconut oil dripping out of her hair. Added to this, she was wearing some flowers with very strong fragrance in her hair and the flowers had wilted and turned a brownish color.

There are also those people who have a hardcore aversion for deodorant and who believe the more they stink the better. The woman sitting next to me was certainly one of the kinds. The pungent stench coming off her was literally a torture. I couldn’t even change seat because the bus was overcrowded. I had to breathe through my mouth and plug my nose, praying I reached my stop as quickly as possible!!!
Seriously, why do people smell bad in a day and age where you can buy deodorant almost anywhere? I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does.

On the other side, you have the hazards of too much perfume! Some people feel the need to drown themselves in strong colognes to try to make the scent last longer. This always makes me sick and nauseous. The violent and suffocating fragrance zooms up my nose like a dagger and gives me instant migraines! (@_@)

Anyway, have you noticed that the stinky people always sit next to you on the bus and the ones with dandruff or oily scalp sit in front of you so that you cannot miss their shiny hair with snowy white flakes while the mothers with screaming kids sit behind you?

Ahhhh, the joys of public buses!

(¬_¬”)

Ok, rant over.

Listening to love songs at work is definitely not a good idea if you ask me. Now I’m all mushy gushy! I’m just not in the mood to work whatsoever. I’d rather be lazing at home on my couch or even better, the boyfriend should steal me away for the day and we could go to the beach, have lunch in a cozy restaurant facing the ocean and enjoy the rest of the day strolling along the shore, hand in hand, content and carefree. *day-dreaming*

*sigh*
Instead I’m stuck in the office, desperately trying to focus on my boring job. How depressing! T_T Get me out of here!!! Please? Pretty pleaseeeeee??????!

On a totally different note, my brother is heading back to Toronto this weekend. The holidays are over for him too. Time flies when you’re having fun, eh?? I got used to having him around and the house will seem so empty and quiet when he’ll be gone. With whom am I going to argue?

Hmm, I think I should get back to work now… or maybe listen to some more music? Arghhh! Focus, focus, focus Angele!

Right now I’m feeling slow, sluggish and uninspired. Blame it on the hot weather and my crazy hormones. Anyway, I’m just posting some pics from last week-end. The boyfriend and I went to a lovely resort in the north of Mauritius for a short getaway.

Awesome week-end indeed! Hopefully there will be more to come ^^
