Saturday: Spontaneous = Steve

I was not prepared for the day ahead.
Steve and I have been planning to go to IKEA for a while now. We finally got our chance last Saturday.
We met up at the train station near my house around 11.40 and our sojourn began.
I drove to the IKEA near my house. We were looking for closets for the poor man. He didnt have any.
We got to the IKEA but Steve couldn't find anything he liked. Weird moment came when a young girl was looking at me very intently as she crossed the room. Steve couldn't help but say, "looks like someone wants your digits". She was that blatant.
We didn't want to eat at IKEA so we thought of eating elsewhere. The thing about IKEA is that you enter the top part, all the furniture part and the ground floor is where everything else is. We went to IKEA thinking to buy Steve's closet and my candles, but of course, you can never just buy what you want at IKEA. We spent 3 hours there! We left IKEA at 3pm! Hungry and a bit more broke. Steve bought everything, a decanter, wine glasses, salt-pepper, oil-vinegar things, rugs, pans, EVERYTHING!
It was fun. We trooped over to Gulliver, my local mall and ate pizza! We shopped around and he got so amused by the €30 jacket. He had to check it out. It was shit quality but he considered it just because it was hip. so funny.
We headed over to my house coz I wanted him to check out something with my washing machine. The filter was stuck with soap and all, which is why the washing machine was leaking. I was so happy. Water that was stuck, flooded out.
Now for the unexpected part - I had to take Steve home because of the stuff he bought.
We were talking about the Wii which I've become curious about, turns out, he has it! I was so excited!
We got to his house around 6.30, he showed me the crib. We talked, and he let me train. I practised Tennis and it was a lot of fun! Around 7ish we played against each other. While we were playing, Steve was smoking a joint. I got really curious about it - so I asked if I could try it. He's so very willing. Except of course it tastes like ash, so I didn't like it. I probably didn't even do it properly. The Wii is very involving and at a certain point I even hit Steve's elbow! the poor guy!
He said it was just a matter of time as he could hear every now and then that my remote was passing by his ear.
We finished by 9pm and headed out to dinner. He's so in love with this Thai restaurant close to his house. When asked how far because I didn't want to drive anymore, he said we could walk but its a hassle, as its up another hill, we could take a bus but we would have to know the time or we could take his motorbike. I've never BEEN on one. So, I opted for the bike.
As it was my first time, Steve laid down the only rule "don't make abrupt movements" with that in mind, I remained as stiff as a board! The Thai Inn wasn't so bad, however it was really crowded. We finished dinner at 12!
I was ready to call it a night when Steve convinced me to hang out with his friends (girls) and just have a drink - although the original invitation was for drinks and clubbing!
I was undecided up until the last minute. I dropped Steve off, but since he was super late (totally my fault), I went to meet his friends and stay for a drink. I only had one double shot before we moved off to "the club" - La Maison. Before going in though, they had to light up. During all this, one of his girl friends was totally wasted and cabbed it home. It was around 2.30, the other friend was still hoping to go dancing, and Steve since the early afternoon has been going on and on about how he wanted to go dancing, i just tagged along. We couldn't get into La Maison, so we tried back to the area where they had lit up. The club had a dominatrix kind of theme, with red lights and waiters with half masks and whips. I got an awesome daiquri. The weird thing was, this place had crappy music and was showing hentai as entertainment. Yes, you read right. Hentai - japanese animated porn. The club closed shortly after our drinks so we tried our luck at La Maison. Unfortunately, it was really full. As we were walking away, there was another club near by, we went into that. It was already 3 am. We danced until 4ish then I took them home. By the time I made it to my house. It was 5am! and I was tipsy all over. I could barely coordinate myself. Needless to say, Sunday, I woke up at 5PM! (I actually woke up several times - I was so hung over, I just drank water and went back to sleep. I think it was the 2nd time I've ever had a hang over) Took a shower and watched Ratatouille with Kristine because I promised her we would. Slept and Monday was upon us again.
I had lots of fun, but I don't think I'd do that again any time soon.

This day sucks

Kari, you're my IDOL....you are who I wish I could be: Talented, creative, smart, beautiful, great to be with.....
(and yes, I know you were just kidding, but I couldn't resist the pouty face). Addie, Alexandra is the *hero* because she's made our dream a reality (not the actual events business) but she's put up her own business thats doing well BEFORE 30.... is married with a beautiful baby girl just born months ago. She's got Angelina Jolie and Courtney Cox in tow, she's got UK singers and actresses. She's doing very well - and is mentioned in Shopaholic and baby guide.

I got home from a useless day at work. To find that the car that I've been keeping here has been hit. The lady was supposed to get it from me 3 months ago! and well, she hasn't. I moved the car on Saturday because this old man (neighbour) told me so. I moved it to a spot that bamn! today, when I got home, has this awful dent



Then I had to move the car to a safe spot, but the car wouldn't start. The battery was dead. Well, it hasn't been started in the past 2 weeks. How the hell was I to know that was going to die on me? All in all, it hasn't been a great to start to the the week.

catherdal in brussels

meet the herce's

the reason why my mom didn't get so upset when she found out i was in brussels was because she asked me to host the herce's.
they left last sunday, but with so many things going on, i didn't get a chance to blog.
they are really nice people and i had a good time while they were here. they reminded me a lot of my parents, in the funny way.

my *hero*

she is amazing....

http://www.alexandrabee.com/

at the age of 28, she's become a top bag designer, with celebrities praising her work and being her devoted fan.

she is, the wife of my boss.

both great people.

some guys have all the luck (brains, looks and money and talent!)

blogging from the office

just in case i forget sometime in the future, why i've been blogging like crazy today...
i can actually blog from work!
i'm so happy about that, i wasn't able to for a while, so i had to keep blogging from the house.
now i can blog normally
:)
yipee!

everyone's life but mine

i was looking through steve's photos ....
and realized, that although i had pitied (*sigh* my arrogance) the guy for being a bit low profile at work...he had a life and friends.
he went out to make memories.
not only am i low profiled at work.
i have no life.
damn it.
i have a wish list, right?
i will make things happen.

dear shady...

i miss you
....

and i can say that honestly and be certain you wouldn't misunderstand that statement

you know mayra is out.
i am trying to make new friends....
but really, i give up, because they all leave at one point or another...
oh, and weird thing:
check this out, we (mayra and i) had met kevin spacey's best friend who works here
the guy is cool, steve (if you've heard of him) we met him way before the summer, i'm not sure if i ever mentioned it.

i swear, whenever something brings up my insecurity personified or kevin spacey (more of the former) i get butterflies in my stomach.
the thought of her alone is enough to make me queasy....

come home shady, and this time i want to get drunk....
and hang out
and remember that there is such a thing as life and friends...

i come home to an empty house.
tonight, (around 6ish) i will start ironing my clothes and use the internet.
and wait for my boyfriend to come home so we can talk....
and then go to sleep
so i can wake up the next morning and do everything all over again.

whats your life like?
