Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone! :)

May the Year of the Fire Dog bring us all luck, prosperity, health and happiness. :)

In case you're wondering if my bowling game improved over the weekend, I wouldn't have anything new to report. Tere got sick yesterday so I was stuck at home, glued to my Sims2 PS2 game. It can be incredibly addicting you know? But in fairness, I am practicing my "release". Keeping my arm straight and all that. Hopefully, I'll remember it next week when I play again.

I'll be going to Bohol with my family this week... which is why I can't help but feel incredibly lazy, since I only have to work for 2 more days before my Bohol escape. :)

Will tell you all about it in my next post.

I played bowling today...

F*#%.

I swear to God, that game will never become one of my favorites...it always looks so easy, and I can't imagine anyone doing so badly in it. But I barely broke 50 on my first game...

Double F*#%.

Apologies for the obsceneties, I'm just really upset. The last time I played bowling was three years ago, and only my closest friends will know what other "incident" happened on that day. But if I remember correctly, I was averaging at least 80 a game. So, why, oh why am I so bad at this game?

Grrr...

I asked Tere to go bowling with me tomorrow, coz there is no way in hell I'm going back there without improving my score. Even if I have to sacrifice every free minute I have until that day.

Talk about fun eh?

I guess I'm like this coz I'm not on a "fun" team... not that they're bad or pressuring me or anything, there's just something about being the lowest scoring member on the team that strikes my nerve. My teammates are unvelievably good, most of them are serious bowlers. The other rookies on the team play decently too, which puts me in such a foul mood until I can do something about my score.

But I have to admit, I still had fun today. My teammates were incredibly supportive, and since this is a non-bearing game, no damage was done. So, I really, really have to improve before the next game, because I don't want to be the reason we lose... :(

What Your Face Says

At first glance, people see you as warm and well-balanced. Overall, your true self is moody and dynamic. With friends, you seem dramatic, lively, and quick to react. In love, you seem mysterious and interesting. In stressful situations, you seem cheerful and optimistic.

What Do People Think Of Your Face?

Obviously, I can't think of anything to put on my blog... but I felt the need to post today, and blogthings are my best bet...

And wouldn't you know it? I can't help but agree with them completely...

You Should Be A Libra

What's good about you: A total charmer, you easily find friends and allies What's bad about you: You have a secret side that's easily confused and depressed In love: you enjoy flirting, dating, and the whole process of falling for someone In friendship, you're: very social ... you rather be with your friends than be alone Your ideal job: fashion designer, makeup artist, or song writer Your sense of fashion: very feminine / masculine (depending on your gender) You like to pig out on: sweet stuff like ice cream and french toast

What Sign Should You Be?

Oh, and yes, I actually am a Libran.

"Tall Creme Brulee Latte Decaf for Vanessa!"

As I hurried to pick up my drink, I realized that over the past week, I have become increasingly addicted to Starbucks. Every day, for the past 7 days, I have treated myself to not just one, but sometimes even two drinks a day. It started innocently enough, a latte to treat myself for doing well in my systems walkthrough, an Iced White Chocolate Mocha for dessert, a Caramel Latte to wake me up during a particularly slow Wednesday...and the list goes on.

Now, about 1000 bucks poorer and definitely a couple of pounds heavier, I am putting a Starbucks ban on my diet for the rest of January. Well, at least until the next coupon becomes valid which is on January 29, 2006. :-)

What better way to start the New Year than by creating a new blog? And in addition to that, as part of my New Years' resolutions, to regularly update this blog (at least 2x a month), which to me is a regular update considering the amount of time (or the lack of it) that I have to spare.

First things first, why the Geeky Observer? Over the years, I’ve wrestled with the idea of officially coming out of the geek closet, and proclaiming to the world that yes, I am a geek. But since I wasn’t sure, I had to take a professional opinion to find out whether I really was a geek. So, I took this geek test, and was surprised to find out that I was a…



Ooooh… A total geek. But I have a long way to go in the hierarchy of geekdom. I scored 33.72781% on a scale of 100%, almost a Major geek (>=35%) but far from being a Geek God (>= 65%), and will probably never become a Dysfunctional geek (>=75%).

Geek tests aside, I’ve always known I had a certain tendency to “geek out”. But I’m sure everyone has a certain degree of geekish-ness that sometimes get the better of them. Now, to end this post, here are few other tests I took to amuse myself.

Your Birth Month is October

You are a natural leader who is able to stand up when no one else can. Strong and powerful, you tend to overshadow those around you. Your soul reflects: Gratitude, comfort, and true love Your gemstone: Tourmaline Your flower: Cosmos Your colors: White and yellow

What Does Your Birth Month Mean?

Your Heart Is Pink

In relationships, you like to play innocent - even though you aren't. Each time you fall in love, it's like falling for the first time. Your flirting style: Coy Your lucky first date: Picnic in the park Your dream lover: Is both caring and dominant What you bring to relationships: Romance

What Color Heart Do You Have?

You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

You Are 0% Weird

You're totally, completely normal. And that's pretty darn weird!
