Sick as a Diseased-ridden DickSo I caught something when I woke up yesterday morning. My throat was so irritated it felt as if I was barbecuing my tonsils with a tabasco sauce marinade. My head seemed so hot I thought I was going to melt my pillow. But I tore the bed sheets off, popped in a Tylenol Cold and Flu tablet, and proceeded to get ready for work.
The Tylenol soon wore out mid-way through the day and I found myself wondering why I came into work in the first place. Once I finally returned home, I drank some miso soup and tried some Airborne Formula medicine. (Supposedly promoted by celebrities and shown on Oprah - as if this is all that is needed to validate a product nowadays. Wait, I'm buying and using it myself. @#*#*$!)
Seems like a sweeter version of Alka Seltzer to meCoughing in bed last night, I started reading a book on how to fight traffic tickets because I need to file a trial of declaration to appeal my speeding violation soon. Before finishing the second chapter, my nose asked me permission to go running. I sternly said no, but my nose turned around and started running away. What a bastard.
I ended last night with a roll of toilet paper near my bed. I hate it when my nose thinks it can win the next marathon.
This morning, I woke up and knew right away I couldn't go to work. Unfortunately, work also didn't want to stay in the office. I ended up talking to clients on and off for practically the whole morning before drinking some more soup for lunch. Now I finally have time to relax and I plan to finish this entry, read some more, and then get more well needed rest.

Before I continue, I want to showcase this little finding. I went to the expensive Bristol Farms market located in South Pasadena and found WHITE CHEETOS. Good lo! Now if you know me and Cheetos, you know it's over before the bag leaves my hands.
And You Thought You Saw It AllIn other news, please look at the bill below
My T-Mobile bill last month ended up at $352.96!!! Geez and I was trying to watch my minutes too. It took me three phone calls and multiple holds before I was able to reduce that monster. Moral of the day:
Be persistent and you'll eventually get something.It was Soo's b-day about two weeks back. We ended up going to the Yardhouse and then went bar hopping afterwards in Old town Pasadena. I'm so surprised it wasn't K-town this year Soo. hahaha. Happy b-day girl.
Soo and meIt was also LTN's b-day last week. It was decided that White Lotus would be a good place to meet at and I was able to convince Winston to go! For all those who know Winston, him going clubbing is an event in itself. hahaha. Happy b-day LTN.

HALFWAY DONELSATs are done, AGAIN! Last Saturday I took the LSAT at USC along with the other wandering lemmings thinking about law school. I don't think I scored lower this time than I did last year, but weirder things HAVE happened so I'm not going to completely count that possibility out. I just know that I felt a little better coming out of the test this year than I did last year. It's strange too because this year I really didn't prepare as much because I had to juggle work with studying. Last year I practically camped out at Borders and the Pasadena Library... Now I have to write the infamous impersonal statement. Hope I have less than 10 versions this time around.
Since the last update, I really haven't been up to much. I was able to get off work early everyday to study for my LSATs. Now that that chapter of my life is over and done with, I've reverted back to my regular working schedule, full of overtime and stringent deadlines. I still haven't decided which is worse - the intensity of balancing my studies with work or dealing my lots of work all at once.
The OfficeSpeaking of work, two of my coworkers and I went to Scott Love's seminar in Anaheim about two weeks ago. It was about how to recruit better and bill more than we ever thought possible. And although I learned some interesting techniques and concepts, I realized that Sales really is an artform that can always be perfected more.
In any case, the highlight of that day was not being able to meet Mr. Love in the flesh, but going to Tortilla Jo's in downtown Disney. That restaurant has 150 different kinds of tequila. 150!!! Unfortunately, Kwang, Ellie and I all drove separately and we didn't get to enjoy the full benefits of that restaurant.

One of the Tequilas We TriedMid September was also
Z's b-day bash and it was fun, even though Linda and I had take one drunk Guatamalan, one inebriated Linda Vista VC girl, and one intoxicated half Japanese half White bed-wetter home. That was a loooooooooong night, especially since I had to wake up early the next morning to host an open house at the San Diego condo. Anyway, good times. Happy 26 Z!!!

802 on the 805 BrentBack to more current affairs - I'm getting sick. Trying to prevent my cold from getting worse, I bought some cough drops that were supposed to work wonders. 18 drops for $6.00. The supposedly claim was that this product could help one get over a cold quicker. Go figure. Verdict? I dunno - I took one and wanted to throw up afterwards... Course it does say to eat something before you take it, but negative reinforcement can be very persuasive. Guess I'll have to ride this cold out.
