Security Guards That Make Me Feel Unsafe (the Fatty)

There is a group of security guards at my work building. Most are fine.. but there are 2 that really stand out. For sake of easy-reading, one of them, i'll call Fatty; the other, i'll call Nasty.
Fatty is the better one of the two. He is nice in an annoying kind of way. Sometimes, when I leave to go home, I walk past the security desk, and he'll say "hey hey hey!! wait wait!" So I turn back around and ask "What?"
Usually, it turns out that he wants to give me something... Some of the things he offers to give me are:
  • Bread from bakery
  • Cookies
  • Face Soap
  • Microwavable plastic containers
  • Mugs
The only thing I've ever taken from him is the face soap, because that time I left with my coworker and he offered it to us, and she took one, so I kinda had to take it too. Fine. Whatever. So every single day after that, every night I walk out of the building, the conversation would go like this....
Fatty: Did you use the soap yet?
Me: No, not yet.
Fatty: After you use it, let me know if it's good.
This occurred for a good week and a half. And finally, one day I got fed up, so I lied...
Fatty: Did you use the soap yet?
Me: Yes.
Fatty: Is it good? Do you like it?
Me: Yeah it's not bad.
Fatty: Do you want more? I have a few more...
Me: No, thanks.
Fatty: Ok well if you want more later, let me know.
Me: (????????)
What the hell? It's just soap. How can you be sooo annoying over one piece of soap? Nelson says that it's jxxx soap.
Sometimes, the conversation goes like this:
Fatty: I think your hair looks good like that. You look more womanly.
Me: ehhh.. ok
Fatty: No really, I think you should wear your hair like this more often.
Me: K bye.
or this:
Fatty: I think you've been wearing beautiful makeup lately.
Me: (???????) K bye.
PS. Fatty is around 40-45 years old. I think because he is fatter, makes him seem less perverted and sly, although stuff he says (or gives me) still makes me go (???????).
PPS. The story of the Nasty will make its debut next weekend. He is creepos. Forreals.

Weekend Recap....

Completely hermitized...
Friday night - got off work, girls time with D, T, A..
Saturday - jogged, slept at 12
Sunday - went to work, buy groceries, chilled, jogged, and now typing.
I think the most interesting thing that has happened to me this weekend was that my belly button ring fell off while jogging. Now I have to wear a tacky belly ring with heart-shaped rhinestones until I go buy a new low-key one. Interesting huh?!
Oh, oh.. something a little more interesting is I recently discovered a cutie, also a jogger. Here was my convo with D:
S: dude there is a cute guy jogging at the same tracks
D: really? what's he like?
S: he's tall....
D: .....?
S: and from the way he runs I'm sure he's ABC.
D: *she cracks up* You can tell an ABC by the way he runs?!
S: yes.....
HAHAHAHAhahhaa apparently I have this gift. I swear local boys and foreign men run differently.
I also realized something new... how do you tell when Taiwanese boys are having fun on a date? They drive REAL slow. I mean REALLY, REALLY slow, like 15km/hr. I think it's so unsexy.
Tomorrow is Monday, and this upcoming week will be absolute hell with the show coming up on July 2. Every morning I set my alarm to wake me up at 530. I think it's this anal thing I have... because I always end up sleeping til 830. I don't know why I disturb my sleep like this.

"How come I don't see you out?"

Oh yea, before I climb into bed and attempt to dream about Canada, I just want to write about this conversation I had today with someone I met through work. NF (new friend): So how come I don't see u out? S: what do you mean out? like partying? like 18/primo/luxy/blah blah? NF: yea S: I used to. But I got tired. NF: Ok that's a legit excuse. Better than you saying you are a goodie girl. S: I think it's cuz of my job. Too much PR during the day, don't want to PR on my weekends and make small talk with people I hardly know or people I used to know. NF: I feel you. S: I feel for you too. I choose not to go, but you, you HAVE to go. What a bust. *note: NF is the founder of a new nightlife magazine. Life, is all about choices. I chose to be the person I am at this moment. I don't feel obligated to do anything I don't feel like doing, and I feel so in control and so confident knowing I have a choice. (So confident that I'm about to make myself jxxx). You know who's happy that I don't go partying as much? My feet appreciates not being caged in 4inch heels as often. But, I will have to imprison them soon, because a few days ago, I got these Fedexed to me. I think this whole entry was just an excuse to show off.. HAhhaHA who cares, this is my blog and no one reads it besides Nelson & Vince.
(note to myself - another CON about living in Taiwan.. there are no beautiful shoes here, and shipping is fucking expensive to order online. Yes, one more reason to remind myself to get out of here ASAP)
I will end it here with a very abrupt..... BB!

So it starts again...

Its 11:30pm and I have no where to vent except on this blog. I'M SOOOO TIRED... and I really can't wait to get out of here. Forreals, I think I dream about Canada every 2nd night. I can't wait to go back and admire the huge mosquitos that don't bite, Stanley Park, non-fobby non-psychotic boys, and everything and anything. Right now I need to focus on completing the 7/2 project. After that, I shall redeem my freedom!!!!!!

Kenting Summer 2009... Great Times

Time really flies when you are relaxed, with the right people, at the right places, at the right time. Kenting Summer 2009 was definitely a trip to remember.  Of course, the biggest difference between Winter 2008 and Summer 2009 is more love, more romance, which makes everything a little sweeter. I really love these 2 people... 
A weekend filled with sun, fun, music, beautiful beaches, and many stupid conversations.
Some highlights:
  • Any fruit with 3 syllables may be a substitute for swear words... "TOMATO LA!!" "BANANA LA!!" 
  • Crazy hand gestures "ahHhhHhhHhhHh"
  • Thumbs up - "chao diao" (which means super cool)
I think my friend Nelson Yang is soooo cool, check out these pictures:
Oh baby
Rock that body body, shake that body body.
The only bad thing about him is he can't take alcohol and passes out at midnight.
Much thanks to our wonderful wonderful host P, and his baba, Mr. P. It was GREAT.

Remind me..

Just reminding myself to blog about the following issues in the upcoming weeks, and what you, my friend, can look forward to:
  1. Taiwanese people's obsession with astrological signs which piss me off.
  2. The relationship between the movie 300 and all the little annoying things I find about Taipei.
  3. How sick I am of maintaining "public relationships" for this brand.
  4. My conversation with the young man who washed my hair at the salon. Topic: How to Pursue Girls. Truly amazing.

*edit* 5. Security guards who make you feel less secure.
