IMAGINARY DIVA: June 2006

Friday, June 30, 2006

This is the first time in a long time that I have a holiday weekend off. I usually had to work weekends at the office. Lem had such big plans. We were going to go to Nanaimo and visit Corinna, or maybe drive over to Harrison Hot Springs for some much needed R&R.

As you can tell, that did not happen, or else, I would not be checking my stats or writing this post entry. Things just didnt seem to work out.

Mundie's was towing my car from my old apartment garage to my sisters. Lem forgot the remote control at his place. Figures. Then, we went to pick up my check downtown and couldnt get in because the place was closed.

And I had to calm Sara down. Because she also walked off the job today. Got to tell you, I am not really sure how they are planning on keeping their workers at the old office. Hopefully, they must have some big masterplan. Or that company will float away the Pacific Ocean....

NEW ADDITION TO THE SITE

If you havent noticed my product banners for Amazon bottom sidebar, look again. I've had my affiliate with Amazon for awhile, just havent fully utilized it.

Since, I'm really new at this banner ad advertising, I'm hoping that you publishers out there will give me feedback on banner placement.

I know we are back again to a fully monitized blog. But I use this blog as a test site for the new stuff I put towards The Discount Diva and The Bikini Body Diet.

Let me know what you think. Too much. Too Little. No Comment. Dunno what you are talking about.

THE PERFECT JOB

So, I'm gungho about moving on from here. I decided to try Google. You know, to look for some direction and motivation.

I typed in WHAT IS THE PERFECT JOB.

To add some humour to my predicament, I ended up at Rum & Monkey. It asked me for my name and it seems that all my friends have been correct all along.

According to them, this is my perfect job!

My perfect job is Being married to a rich man.

JOINING THE UNEMPLOYMENT RANKS

As of this afternoon, I walked out on my job. I realized that I am not the right fit for this company.

What I will most. The friends that I have cultivated within the past year. Who are now in within my circle of trust.

What I will not miss the most. The watercooler gossip. The inability of management to work with staff. Bitter employees who have only been there for the last 10 years because of the money. The never ending meetings behind everyone's back.

It's not worth the stress.

Now, I feel like John Chow. With not as much money, of course. But lots of time to kill.

I know I have to look for another job. Sometime. I'd like to see where my e-content sites take me. I can almost see the potential.......

HOW DO YOU KEEP UP?

Sometimes I just cant seem to get it together anymore. It's never been this complicated ever before.

This morning, I received a voice mail on my work phone from a personal friend. HEY, WHY HAVENT YOU ANSWERED MY EMAILS? You're what? Um, let me see, I have 2 yahoo accounts, 1 gmail account, 6 active hotmail accounts and 2 shaw email addresses. Your emails again? Well, I am just a little bit behind. But you have to be very specific because then I'll know which email to check. Comprende?

Or even, you bump into a friend and they say, I LEFT YOU A MESSAGE. Okay, now would that be my cell phone, Lem's phone or my office voice mail. You are out of luck if you text me. I dont even know how to access that feature. And that is, if I find my cell phone. I've lost it for a week now.

At least, my friends still get me on MSN. HAVE YOU CHECKED HIS BLOG LATELY? Oh right I forgot. That's how we all have been communicating lately. Silly me.

If you need me, you should just send me a message on my blog. That I know I check every 5 minutes.

KEANU RAISED THE STANDARDS

I am so glad I went last night with Sol and Mel to watch The Lakehouse.

It was the best romance movie I have seen in ages. Once in awhile Sandra Bullock does come out with the best chick flicks. I remember watching While You Were Sleeping over and over again. And I even bought the DVD years after!

Sol and I came armed with concession napkins and were just sniffing all the way to the end. But oh, Keanu, oh Keanu. To find someone as in love with you as Keanu with Sandra in the movie. That will be a steal. And most likely only happens in the movies.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

In this life, there are very strict rules about Cause and Effect. If you do something whether it's bad or good, be prepared for the consequences.

Our office is in trouble again. No, no. The gossip mill is not out and about this time. And the water cooler gossip has slowed down a bit. Well, maybe because I've decided to not talk to anyone in the office anymore.

Montana did something silly without thinking. Not because he wanted to be mean. But out of spite. You know how that goes. I should have told him to stop, but at that time, I thought it was quite funny really. He just doesnt like Darin. I dont like Darin. I dont think anyone in the office does. And this BIG joke was for him.

Well, it didnt sort of work that way. Montana has just been given suspension for a month. Who knows really, if he's going to make his way back into the office after that month. Maybe I'll help him sort out his resume instead.

HOW TO BE POPULAR

Not 5 minutes of fame type of popular. But really popular that you get over 1000 viewers on your site everyday.

The other day I caught the Daily Dancer on TV! Wow, now he's doing tv documentaries and news specials. I still remember the day John Chow showed me and Lem his site.

Maybe that's what I need to become famous. Become a guest dancer on his site. I wonder if he needs another guest dancer.....

THERE IS NO FIXING THIS

Our office has gone to the dogs.

Team effort is quite essential in running a successful office. Team effort is sadly lacking in my office. Every one has their own agenda. Every one goes out of their way to piss each other off. It's such a vicious cycle that will never stop during my tenure there, and will continue to go on when I leave the company.

New recruits follow examples, not the preaching on the manual. It's so obvious that the real culprits are those that have been there since the start of time. If you dont do what you preach, how do you expect the masses to follow?

I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND

Dating is like going to Las Vegas. If you dont visit every year, everything changes on you. The street names. Your favourite restaurant. Even the little chapel at the corner.

So, if you are male, and just recently single, you might want to check to see if DontDateHimGirl.com has a profile on you. I guess along with the easy accessability of internet dating, comes the birth of internet beware. Isnt that just silly.

DontDateHimGirl.com is an online resource that lets women out the men who have cheated or lied to them. You can browse their search engine of alleged cheaters, liars and cads 24 hours a day. Apparently, this is a way for women to check a guy out before dating, marrying or otherwise committing to them. It is to warn other women about the men who have cheated, lied, or a user. If your name is Anthony "Casanovafly" Cassebery from Brooklyn, you are the man of the hour.

I checked the web to see if there was a male version of this site. You know, warning unassuming men over some cheatin' woman. Couldnt find any. I ran through about 10 phrases and couldnt come up with even a site. Women's lib would probably have a fit and shut the whole thing down. We should challenge AskMen.com (Premier Site for Men) to come up with a similar version, or at least write an article about this.

Me, personally, just move on. Why spill your guts for everyone to read. Maybe read MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS. Or something.

IT'S JUST A BIG, BIG MESS

It's beginning to look like one disaster after another. I packed away half of my clothes. And I decided to hang the other half in the closet Lem gave me. Of course, the bar gave weight and down came all of my clothes on the floor. I had to start from ground zero again.

He decided to take my desk for his workstation. And he gives me his old crappy desk. What gives???? Hey that's mine.

At least I have the air conditioning working in the room just in case steam starts blowing out my nose.

SPEECHLESS

It's been awhile since I've seen everything I own piled in boxes. Not just some boxes. There must be a million of them sitting in Lem's basement. It's a good thing when I moved in to my brother's place, I just stored them. Now, I have this daunting task of unpacking them.

First, there are my clothes. Second, there are my shoes. And god knows what else I'll find in there. Probably my old citizenship card that I have been looking for forever.

Dont know where I am going to store them. And Lem is making me give up my couches.

Hey, you. I paid so much money for that and you just want me to what? We gotta compromise. You agree to keep my couches.

he-he-he. Poor guy doesnt know what hit him.

ADD SOME SPICE TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP

A WIFE who claimed she was doing a sexy dance to a Shania Twain song when she blasted her husband to death was yesterday jailed for life.

Linda West told a court she was trying to arouse her new husband by gyrating with a gun to Man! I Feel Like A Woman! when it "just went off".

Gregory West, 45, was killed instantly by a single shot to his chest in his Southampton home.

A Winchester Crown Court jury took eight and a half hours to reject 49-year-old West's account and convict her of murder.

The case was a retrial after the original jury had failed to reach a verdict.

Judge Guy Boney QC sentenced her to life, with a minimum of 16 years in jail.

He said: "The great tragedy of this case is that in a state of drunken madness you took the life of the man you loved and in doing so you utterly ruined your own."

GROOMING FOR MEN

MSN this morning ran an article on Grooming for Guys - From New York to Los Angeles, find the best spas and salons that offer massages, facials, waxing and more for men in Atlanta Austin Boston Chicago Dallas Denver Houston Las Vegas Los Angeles Miami Minneapolis-St. Paul Nashville New York Orange County, Calif. Philadelphia Portland Raleigh-Durham San Francisco Seattle

Thank God for articles like these. Not to offend the metro sexuals in the male gender out there reading my post. It's been a long time coming.

We (women) work very hard to keep in shape, stay as young, and groom. Why should this only be gender related? We also appreciate beauty, grace, and waxed chests. Right ladies?

THURSDAY BLUES

I just dont want to make any more sad sorry excuses for all the crazy people in this office.

There has been a big turnover in the last 3 weeks. And yesterday, one of the office "favourites" was let go. Really, if firing and hiring had a large bearing on popularity, she should never have been fired. In the end, it comes down to you get paid to the deed. You screw up. It's game over.

I try to do my best to sit at my desk. And ignore everybody else. Of course, that's not going to happen. So, my day has been unproductive.

Tomorrow, I'm going to bring my mortar and bricks. I'm going to seal off the entrance to my cubicle.

I'm pretty sure they'll still find ways to drag me in. At least, it could give me some peace. Even just for one day.

I'VE BEEN VERY GOOD

I hope Santa is already taking notes.

So, my first day has been a challenge. But I managed to slide right through the day okay. I stayed with all my diet rules. The first day is alway hard anyways. My resolution will just get stronger day by day. What do they say again? It takes 24 days to break a habit.

The habit I am planning on breaking is gaining more weight. It is very health conscious. I am planning to live on forever. ...... .. If I can anway.

Since I am in the middle of my move, it's hard to maintain a regular eating habit. My daily schedule for the last month was work, home to pack and move. It will even be a bigger challenge after I move to maintain my work out habits. I will figure it out. I will survive. I want to do this.

It's going to be a great summer.

THE BIKINI BODY DIET

For lack of better terms to use, this is my brand new diet.

The other day, when I went to Just Ladies Fitness, I realized that I have gained 10 lbs. This is not very good. It is from the chips, Pop and McDonald's diet that Lem and I have been stuck to lately because we are moving. Plus, I stopped taking my Slim Quick pills. Well, these are just mistakes that need to be corrected. With summer and all around the corner. Can't you hear the beach calling?

Jogging on the treadmill, Oprah was on. It's like as if she knew I needed some motivation to start this process again. This was the long awaited show with Bob Greene and 12 Weeks to a Total Body MakeOver. Well, I think I can do that. Just as long as I act within the rules.

On my way to work, I have started to work on my rules and here they are:

Eat a proper breakfast
No carbohydrates after noon
No food after 7:30 at night
20 minute cardio 5 times a week
No pop

Today is my first day. I worked out this morning and now have made plans with Carrie to go to a place where I can have my no carbs lunch.

I will most likely put a running counter of how much weight has been lost, to keep all my loyal fans posted. If you would like to join me, let me know, and I will put your weight loss on my counter also.

GOOGLE WHORING

This is a term that one of my friend uses to describe my site. So, maybe I got a little bit excited in the beginning when I first got my adsense account. Not to mention my affilliate accounts. I got a lot of boo on my banner ads also.

It's okay. This is a part of a process. In determining how this all works. And how those urban legends of dotcom moguls making their millions off the internet.

So, I have changed. Revised. Picked apart. Dreamt of it in my sleep. blah, blah, blah. Hence, the new version that probably will have to go through the same cycle again. Oh well.

Technorati is my newest friend. It tells me who's picked up my blog. Who's using my material as feeds. And you think I Google whore. I have come across sites with 3 blocks of Google Ads. Which is the maximum any page can use. And RSS feed contents. These folks dont even update their blogs. Such as http://pageant-swimsuit.swimwearblog.net/

Hey, I'm not complaining. I'm just wondering how can I get that piece of action?

John, am I allowed to write this??

SURREAL DATING

Marketing: Kia Offers Brits Drive-Thru Dating

LONDON — Sure, it's a PR stunt, but it's a cute one.

As part of the campaign to promote its new minicar, the Picanto Date, Kia Motors U.K. over the weekend hosted its first Drive Dating event.

The idea was simple: Put 20 young females together with 20 young males in the front seats of 20 Picanto Dates, add appropriate mood music (along with some "icebreaker" dialogue), give each couple three minutes to get acquainted, then motor on over to a local pub to continue the conversations.

Kia elected to host the initial mash-up, appropriately enough, at the London Zoo, with the next Drive Dating event scheduled June 22 at Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry.

After each event, Kia U.K. says its nosy PR staff will keep in touch with the drive daters "to find out which couples get each other's motor racing."

THE SHOES ARE PACKED

Well, It's exactly 12 days before I move with Lem to Surrey. I have half of my house packed and moved already.

I will not miss this place. I will not miss the clutter. And I will definitely not miss having this much space to clean.

My shoes are packed. 5 Boxes total. Whew. It's always a revelation when you start packing things up. I found pairs that I havent seen since I bought them. Maybe I'll remember to use them when they are unpacked.

The biggest challenge now is where to store them at Lem's place. You know me, I dont want to get rid of the couch. I dont want to get rid of my old paperwork. And definitely that headboard we havent used is coming with us. Please dont ask me again.

So, that's how it's been. How Lem puts up with me, God knows.

His mom is such a wonderful cook. So, I really look forward to the move.

GOD BLESS THE BIKINI AND BRIGITTE BARDOT

It was the summer of 1946, a year after the end of World War II. Nations were regrouping. Families were reuniting. The baby boom was just beginning.

In the Pacific Ocean's Marshall Islands, at a tiny place called Bikini Atoll, the United States was conducting nuclear tests.

On the other side of the world, a French automotive engineer-turned-fashion designer was in the back room of his mother's Paris lingerie boutique on the verge of dropping a bomb of his own.

Louis Reard was in a dogfight with rival designer Jacques Heim to see who would be the first to introduce a revolutionary two-piece swimsuit.

Heim's creation, which he called the Atome (after the particle), was first shown to beachgoers in Cannes. It was dubbed "the world's smallest bathing suit," according to a history in www.everythingbikini.com.

But Reard, who was working with a mere 27-1/2 inches from a bolt of cloth, took his design a step further -- dropping the bottom half of his two-piece suit below the navel.

Mon Dieu! It was barely a couple of hankies stitched together with string. Nevertheless, Reard was delighted with his provocative invention, which he introduced to the French Riviera (via a skywriter) with this message: "The bikini -- smaller than the smallest bathing suit in the world."

But this was 1946, mind you, and modesty -- not overexposure -- was in vogue. Reard's bikini, which he named after the aforementioned Pacific atoll, blew up in his face.

The problem? The whole bellybutton thing. Navel-baring was a no-no. There was even an edict in Hollywood banning navels from movies.

Vatican leaders called the bikini immoral. The governments of Spain, Portugal and Italy said, "Not on our beaches."

And, much to Reard's dismay, his chosen audience -- the women of the world -- also blushed and said, "No, thanks."

Reard couldn't find anyone willing to showcase his bikini at first. He settled for a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris, Micheline Bernardini, as his bikini fit model.

Indeed, it would require a drastic shift in attitude -- and more fabric -- to market this skimpy suit to the beaches of the world.

"It took about 15 years for the bikini to catch on (in the United States), even though today it's considered ageless and timeless," says Kelly Killoren Bensimon, author of "The Bikini Book" (Assouline, $29.95, 399 pages), a social history of the suit.

"It was scandalous because it was the smallest article of clothing you could wear out in public," Bensimon says from New York. "And yet, women eventually became obsessed with wanting to wear it."

In the 1940s, news of the bikini was hard to come by. There were no cell phones, no e-mail. And newspapers were writing about the evolving atom bomb, not the bikini.

Once news of the suit reached the United States, it quickly was banned on beaches and from the Miss World contest.

It wasn't until 1957, when sexy French actress Brigitte Bardot wore a bikini in the film "And God Created Woman," that women lowered their inhibitions and created a retail market for the suit.

Valerie Steele, director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, credits the sexual liberation of the 1960s -- and the subsequent pop-culture movement -- for the mainstreaming boost the bikini needed.

"There were what we call the famous bikinis worn by Ursula Andress ('Dr. No') and Raquel Welch ('One Million Years B.C.') and the popularity of surfer movies with Annette Funicello ('How To Stuff a Wild Bikini')," Steele says from New York.

There was even music, like Brian Hyland's big hit, "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" (1960), which is used today in commercials for Yoplait yogurt.

Steele credits the Brazilians with taking the bikini to even smaller proportions in the 1970s.

"The thong-style suit from 30 years ago is what you see on the beaches of Brazil even today," she says. "And if we go back to France, where the initial uproar began, everyone goes topless, but with a more modest bottom." Bensimon, who also is editor of Elle Accessories magazine, agrees that the bikini celebrates different cultures, even different body types.

"The first models who wore the bikini were extremely voluptuous," she says. "And I've always thought the suit was more sexy on a real body rather than on bones."

Today, age plays a part in whether a woman will wear a bikini, especially in this country. According to Mervyns, suits with more coverage, such as the tankini and a one-piece, are still the most popular.

But in the 18- to 25-year-old group, string bikinis (a triangle top and tie-string bottom) are the top choice of 31 percent of swimwear shoppers. In fact, sales of two-piece suits, which include the bikini, were up 20.5 percent this year over 2005, according to the NPD Group, which tracks consumer spending.

Women spent a little more than $8 billion on two-pieces.

Fortunately, for retailers, the bikini likely will be celebrating 10, 20 -- even 30 years from now. After all, what would Sports Illustrated have done if the bikini ban had held? Cheryl Tiegs in a swim dress?

No doubt, bikinis will always be a loaded topic.

Consider this from humorist Garrison Keillor, who once opined about the teensy suit: "Having a girl in a bikini is like having a loaded pistol on your coffee table. There's nothing wrong with them, but it's hard to stop thinking about it."

ASKED

I was surfing through Blog Advance and I got to Deb's site Tarot for Bloggers. Her current readings intrigue me. They are articulately written and quite precise.

I sent her a question. I hope she answers me.

I am not the type to do these readings. In fact, my memories pertaining to these have not been very good ones. Except of course, my monthly trips to Crystal Lake when I was still in my teens living in California. My boyfriend at that time would do the monthly trek to pick up his new Koi fishes. There would be this gray witch town that provided all the curious and readings.

But I'm not interested in the future. I'm interested in the past.

THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT PURCHASES

I realized yesterday that the two most important purchases I will ever make in this lifetime will be my prom dress and my wedding dress.

They signify the changes in a woman's life. The move to being an adult. And the joining of your life with another.

It's June again. Grad Time. On my way to Lem's yesterday I had to get gas. The couple parked beside me were on their way to the prom. She looked very ethereal. Pale yellow dress with a chiffon scarf. And little daffodils on her hair.

Time passes by so quickly. I wonder, now looking back. Did I look as good as she did? I remember shopping for my dress at least 6 months before Grad. And of course, it had to be pink. I finally found it. I paid it with my own money from working at Consumers. And I bought these sinfully expensive Swarovski chandelier earrings. I lost the dress while I was moving some time ago. I gave the box I packed it in to Salvation army by mistake.

Now, it brings up the next question. The next important purchase. The Wedding Dress. The future in-laws are asking. Will I wear white? What kind of a dress? Have I gone shopping? I picked up a bridal magazine just to get some wedding energy going. I dont know. I'm still not excited to get all dolled up. So many choices. I think the dress should be appropriate to the small wedding feel. No trains. No veils. Maybe some Swarovskis.

But just like picking my prom dress. It has to be me.

MY NEWEST DISCOVERY

I was over at my mom's a couple of weekends ago, and we were just looking over her most recent beauty purchases from the Bay. You know, with all the amount of money she spends at that store, she should be owning a portion of that place.

She bought some new perfume, and she picked me up some samples. She knows how picky I am with that. I get strange allergies when I smell too much vanilla or oil in my perfume. I just want to itch my skin away.

She gave me a sample of ANGEL by Thierry Mugler and I am just in love with it. I plan to buy bottles and bottles until they close down the store.

THE SMELL TEST - First day I wore it, I swear I have never been sniffed so many times in such a short period of time. On the way to the skytrain. Skytrain to work and at work. I had people coming up to me saying I smelt good. Men and Women alike.

Now I am looking for the best deals on the internet for this perfume. If you do find a deal, let me know. And if you dont find anymore stock, I probably have them all!

JUST ONE OF THEM DAYS

I have been feeling blue lately because I've been sick, I have not worked out, and I have been eating everything on sight.

Warning: You are about to hear some whining.

This morning was just one of those days. I couldnt get up. Couldn't fathom why I have to go to work. I got myself out of bed. Gotta make money. Running late again of course.

I had no clothes to wear since I've started to pack for THE move. Besides, with all the food I've been consuming, I'd be surprised if I can fit in them. (whine) (whine) I ended up wearing a purple plaid long sleeved shirt, a black skirt, multicolored pastel clogs that so does not fit what I am wearing. I felt like Baby Shamu all dressed in purple.

And the Baby Shamu just has to bump into the goddess of the sea. Of Course.

I'm sitting in the skytrain. And this stunning woman passes by me and I realized it was one of my best friends from a lifetime ago. She is also 35 and she does not look any older than the last time I saw her. She is an actress. And she is on her way to a movie shoot. Oh god, how worse can this get?

I really have to get out of this headspace.

PREVIOUSLY ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

So, we were asleep last night. And Lem moves over. He mumbles something underneath his breath. I thought he cant be serious. I almost fell off the floor laughing.

He mumbles again.

PREVIOUSLY ON BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

What the.....

See, Lem sleep talks at night. I guess it's not so bad that he's into Sci Fi DVD's instead of those zombee stories he used to read on his laptop before going to sleep. We've now progressed from Jaffa Kree (Stargate greetings) to Battlestar Galactica night mumbles. Not so bad, but it's quite a mouthful. You think?

SCOOBY DOOBY DOO

Yesterday I had a chance to catch a new episode of my old time favourite cartoon, Scooby Doo. Him and Shaggy and the rest of the team. Catching bad guys with just sheer wit. And clumsiness. Of course, who can forget that.

The best part of every show has got to be the chase scene. You see Shaggy and Scooby running away from the big scary monster, and along the way, they end up changing into all these different costumes. It never fails.

I remember being 10 years old. Eating my cereal at breakfast. I always end up just watching halfway through the shows because I had to be at school. The funny thing is that all throughout the years I'd watch the same episode, and say HEY I NEVER GOT TO FINISH THIS ONE.

Times have changed. This time the big scary monster now carries an Uzi with lots of firing power. Scooby still does his song and dance and manages to save the day.

But a monster with an Uzi? Am I the only one who's thinking there is something wrong with this picture?

JUST AS A REMINDER

This blog is listed as a personal diary. So, expect a lot of grumbles, non-cohesive and random topics. Of personal interest to me.

I have started this blog, really, because this is how my friends and I keep up with each other. I know it's kind of silly when you can always pick up the phone or chat on MSN Messenger, but we all have very demanding lives. And we all have internet projects. So, we cant be bothered with the MSN going off all the time. When we have time we surf through all of our friennds blogs. To see what they are up to. And if it's time to have that once in a blue moon get together.

If you are looking to see what internet sites I maintain, you can view The Discount Diva and The Ebay Diva through my Diva's World links. I should really post up The Ioffer Diva and The Naugty Diva sometime shortly. These I would love to see comments and reviews on my personal blog.

Thanks for understanding, and I hope you come back again.

MSN CHATTER

John is in HongKong talking about the fabulous shopping. He's coming back soon because he misses Sarah. That's so sweet.

Corinna is bored in Nanaimo. Talking about coming back to Vancouver again. We could all be neighbors in Surrey. And buy condos beside each other. How cool.

Saw James and Peter go on MSN. Didnt get a chance to chat with them.

I need to make sure I catch up with Elisa today to talk about pageant stuff.

Maybe even chat with Mudzy with his I LOVE ASS handler.

DID MUCH MORE MUSIC RUN OUT OF SHOW CONCEPTS?

Okay, so what is with this Flavor Of Love?

I had the opportunity to catch it twice on TV. Unfortunate opportunity.

Flav's a big time rapper. With money to burn. And treats his women like princesses. According him he loves everyone that loves him right back.

Oh, and you just have to compete against 20 other women for his affection. On reality TV. It does not get better than this.

What is with that clock???? What is with the viking headpeace????

What is with all these women???

You think it's love? You think it's 5 minutes of fame? You think it's the money? What is with this?

LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM

I was getting ready to go somewhere.

I pulled my shirt over and it snagged on my ring.

I heard this popping sound.

And realized that the diamond on my ring flew off.

I was looking for it everywhere.

I found the diamond in ten thousand pieces.

IT MUST BE ALL THAT SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

I have gone through half of tylenol bottle today and a whole ginger root. Trying to feel better. At this point, I am just numb from all the drugs. Numb is better than sick. Or cranky. Or no energy.

I realize now that I must have gotten sick from all this rain in Vancouver. It's been so sunny. And I really have not brought my umbrella to work. Plus, I have this strange fascination of walking in the rain.

This week I have been doing a lot of that. Even if Sara or Mark have their umbrellas with them during lunch, I just have to walk in the rain. Look where it's gotten me.

Oh well, I guess you can expect more posts from me today because I have nothing else better to do.....

THIS SUCKS

Because I have been covering for Bryan and Terry at the office, my schedule has been all over the map. Really early morning shifts. Night Shifts. Working 6 days in the last 2 weeks. The big boss decided to give me 3 days off starting today.

On Thursday I woke up thinking I was coming down with a cold.

Well, today, I definitely am sick. I had such great plans for this weekend.

Pack. Move some stuff. Dinner. Perhaps a Movie. Catch up on some reading. Be nice to Lem.

Now, all I am is an irritable mess.

And just so tired.

THE LIFE OF (A) DOT COM MOGUL(S)

If you were a dot com mogul what would you be doing today? Better yet, what would you be doing this very minute?

Well, I could tell you what John, Cameron and Stephen are up to.

Partying it up in China. On a guise of having to attend the Computrex convention.

How would it be like to be 30 years old (and something) and living your life for the moment? Maybe invest an hour of two of work? Not the real kind of slave-your-life-away work, but the fun kind.

The stuff that takes you to China. Again. Is that real work? And um, I'd like to make as much money. Ahem.

BOWLING ON THE NORWEGIAN PEARL

It's just unbelievable nowadays what you can do on a cruise ship. If you ever picked up one the episodes of the Love Boat, nobody could have imagined that from that point on, that these cruise liners can get so diverse and huge.

Well, we just sat through a presentation for the newest Norwegian Cruise Line ship - The Norwegian Pearl. They are bringing in a Bowling Alley. And I thought the wave pool on The Royal Caribbean / Freedom of the Seas was extravagant.

With all these competitions between cruiselines to get your business, they just have to be more innovative, more fun, and more exciting.

I wonder how they'll keep the pins from moving sideways from port to port. .....

ARE YOU ALL AROUND SMART?

You are all-around smart. Essentially, that means that you are a good combination of your own knowledge and experience, along with having learned through instruction - and you are equally as good with theoretical things as you are with real-world, applied things. You have a well-rounded brain.

0% applied intelligence

THE LOOK OF LOVE

Take my hand and lead the way;
tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
all those things I want to hear.

Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.

In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.

Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you're nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it's time for me to watch it fall.

I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you'll find I won't put up a fight.

Release my soul held deep within . . .
I'm ready now, let love begin.

THE BIG HYPE

Well, it's 10:49 PM Pacific Standard time, and I guess the big hype over 6-6-6 is almost over.

You walk around downtown Vancouver in the last month, the posts are covered with all these 6-6-6 premonitions. The end of the world is coming!

Well, the end of the world did not come. At least, not today.

It's all clear on the West Coast.

Got anything happening on your end?

USELESS ADVISE FROM USELESS MEN

The Imaginary Diva has a new tenant!

He's taking questions. He's giving advise. Visit his site to see what he says....

HERE'S MY QUESTION TO YOU MR. USELESS MEN,

My fiance and I are still in this cloud of engagement bliss. We decided to pick out names for our future offspring.

He's got his mind set on naming our first born son Thor. You know, Thor, the Asgard from the Stargate TV Show. He's this cute little alien with a BIG head, long arms and gray skin.

How can I convince my clueless fiance that maybe this is not such a good thing? Maybe we should get a chihuahua instead?

CRAZY MONDAY

Today has just been insane.

I have been covering for Bryan while he's away on holidays on Mondays. He starts work at 6AM. Ouch. Well, today, being the 2nd Monday I've come in, I walk into the reception area and find him standing there.

Great. It turns out that I am covering today for Terry and he has the late shift today. Until 7PM.

What to do when you are not thinking straight at 6AM?

So, I sat down at my desk. Had my croissant and coffee. Worked on some outstanding issues and calming down crazy clients. Got up at 10AM and said I am going home.

I went home. I cleaned up after Lem (of course). Worked on my blog. Had a great workout. I felt so energized and buzzed.

That all fell to pieces on my way to the skytrain at 2:30 PM to make the balance of my shift. Crap. Why do I have to go back?

IMAGINE YOU AND ME - TAKE TWO

So, Lem tells me the other day that he has a surprise for me.

Oh no, what else am I getting? He is already getting me a second ring (another blog, another time). All this excitement is way too much for me!

He opens up his computer and shows me the new Meegos he just made. He made one of me and him. In my blue dress. He says it's my favourite dress. And he tells me that I just look like the Meego.

Ah, he's so sweet. It does look like us!

GONE ARE THE DAYS

A girlfriend of mine recently sent me a picture taken of when we were 21 years old. It seems such a long time ago. Especially with my 35th birthday coming up around the corner.

It brings back old memories. In the picture, there's Sophia, Claudette, Grace and myself. I still can remember the night we took it. We were getting ready for one of our crazy girls nights out. At Mardigras. Omg. I am so ancient.

So, gone are the days....

We dont have to work out every day and still look fabulous
We can eat anything we want and still be the diva
Size 0 anyone?
Get drunk all we want, at anytime, any place
No responsibilities toward the future
No future expectations except for what's happening this coming weekend

There's probably more that's not coming to mind right now.

What I have to look forward to.....

Middle Age
Cougar Bars
Tummy tuck
Face lift
Okay, I think I need to stop while I am ahead.

SHOW AND TELL

Tonight Lem and I are off for dinner with his cousins. To show off the ring of course. And also, his cousin Beng is in town.

Lem and his great ideas. I guess I'll just have to do my nails now. I hate doing my nails. Maybe I'll just clip it short. I need to have some decent nails to show off the ring.

Oh, well.

Maybe we'll take a picture of it and post it on my blog.

I should really say I am a very lucky girl. But I think Lem would be much more prouder if he wore the ring.

YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE

And I over exceeded it's maximum capacity.

Yesterday Lem and I took his mom out for dinner at the River Rock Casino. She's heard such good things about their new Buffet restaurant from her co-workers.

It's just so unfortunate that I dont have anything good to say about it.

It was quite expensive. The service was terrible. The Salad and Seafood Selection was OK. There werent main courses to chose from. But the dessert section.... Okay, so maybe, I have one good thing to say about it. I took 2 pieces of each cake. Lathered it up with whipped baked cream topping. My plate looked like a full lemon merangue pie!

And did I mention I am lactose intolerant?

I still went back for a second plate. Dessert of course.

My body is still paying for it. I know I'll have to work all this food out of my system.

I guess I'll hit the gym tomorrow.

THE IMAGINARY DIVA BANNER

When God handed out the creative gene, he must have missed me. I was never destined to be Martha Stewart.

Growing up I was the kid who never had the good creative art ideas. My color coordination is so off that sometimes I wonder if I should go and get tested for color blindness. My teachers always came up with polite ways of saying WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE DEAR?

You should see my new ioffer store template. Hopefully, it will grow on everybody else. Minimalist is not how you would describe it.

I have been trying to put together a banner for The Imaginary Diva. If the graphic size was not off, then the fonts were not working out. More problems just kept on creeping up. I found a great solution at bpath.com. They have about 500 ready made banners for you to just input your title and your description. It takes the guess work out of the choices of clip art, colors and fonts.

I am so excited to be able to trade banners with just about everyone! If you have a banner, I will trade spaces for my banner! Let me know!

A WRINKLED HEART

Everyone is born with a perfect heart,
but every hurt feeling brings a start
to a wrinkle in that perfect heart.

So with every comment that is mean,
like "You are ugly, fat, or lean."
A wrinkle is creased into your heart.
A torn heart will never heal.

Here is the deal.
Think about how you would feel.
Consider your part.
Do not cause a broken heart.

How you're vision caught my eye, yeah
Like in only forever
Something made you turn and look at me
In a heartbeat, I knew my destiny

Right here, right now
Nothing is impossible
Right here, right now
I'm running on a miracle

UPDATE ON THE CLICK CLICK CHALLENGE

It has been over a month since I took on this challenge. I have always been known as the woman WITH THE SHOE COLLECTION. Rightly so, they are just a collection. I never wear them. I used to rotate between 3 pairs for work. They are the ones with the comforable platforms and very easy to walk in.

Ever since I have started the Click Click Challenge. This is where, I actually get to spend time in pairing up a shoe with an outfit for daily wear. It has been definitely awakening, especially for a girly girl like me that likes all the feminine things this life has to offer. I feel like a fit in with the Metropolitan Vancouver drones.

I have managed to wear most of the shoes in the closet. And I get these revations of WOW, THESE MATCH, COOL. Now I spend more time getting dressed because I have to see what my footsies can wear. Oh well, It does make me feel sexy and it's worth all the extra effort and pain.

THE IOFFER DIVA IS NOW BACK

Last December I decided to take a break from my favourite Ioffer Store. It was getting too busy, too tedious, and they kept on changing my rep at the factory in China. It was Christmas also and I just wanted to relax, hang my feet up at night and not having to worry about making it into Western Union to transfer money to Asia each night.

I was planning on re-opening the store in March but John Chow convinced me that e-content websites are much more manageable than e-commerce sites. And his biggest selling feature is ... We could all be sitting at a remote beach in Bahamas (of course must be equipped with interenet) managing our business from there. So, I was sold.

But lately, with Lem doing so well with the Ebay Store that I decided that I should have another go with Ioffer.

It took me longer to reformat my template because, as you know, I'm still hungover from all the pimp juice. I am color blind, so please dont hate me for the wild color scheme. I am glad that is done and over with though.

I just need to renew my contract with Asia. I will making the link active under the Diva's world in about a week.

NO MORE PIMP JUICE PLEASE

I woke up quite late today. I totally feel bad about missing my lunch with Sara at noon today. I even feel worse about not letting her know until after our lunch date.

How much of a friend am I being today?

I woke up with a big hang over. I sort of lost count of the amount of Pimp Juice I consumed last night at Saigon. Peter just kept ordering them and there was never a time that the glasses were empty. We had such a blast.

Peter met a girl (yoohoo!)
Eduardo won the tie-the-cherry-stem-with-your-toungue
Lem imparting his wisdom about women knowing their role (oh no)
Sol was still breaking her new shoes in (omg they were expensive)
And I well, I was just happy to be there with my friends.

Eduardo just started this week at our office. He is a friend of Sol's. He is getting married to a Japanese girl this July. Lem and I are getting married in August. And all we need is to have Sol get married to Jeremy on September and Peter to the new girl by October.

Okay, so maybe I'm in this wedding bliss mode. But I can't help but wish all my friends the same happiness I have.

SALSA IS IN THE AIR

Tonight is the night. La Clave is playing at Saigon Fusion restaurant tonight.

We have just a small group going to check it out - Sol, Peter, Eddie, Lem and myself. I call this the girls night out with Eddie, Peter and Lem.

We have to get there early tonight because they are holding salsa classes at 9. Peter has never ever done salsa before. And it would be so much fun if he can start hanging out with Sol and me. If he ends up not liking it, at least there's decent food there to chow on. Sol and I just lucked out on Eddie. He's from El Salvador. He knows his salsa. He's the poor guy that got hired at our office to be the new sales assistant. There were a couple of other people that I would have liked to go with us. But you know, this salsa thing is not for everybody.

For those single men out there, I cant say enough on the merits of taking a salsa class. So many women. So little time to dance with them. Every man should come with one of those little red number dispensers.

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy middle-aged man entered.

He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her (as all men will). Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00......on one condition." (There are always conditions)

Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was.

The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." (controlling, huh?) The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand

along with
her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly, and meaningfully said....

"Clean my house."
