two-ow-ow -eight
it’s the second day of the year.
nine days before my birthday. (shameless plug i know, you can start sending gifts. NOW.)
holidays after math:
gainers:
-my peso being able to buy more dollars
-my mid torso, my thighs and my arms. i am 10 whopping lbs heavier (aw gad– now i have to lose 30 lbs to get to my ideal weight).
losers:
-my bank account. wrung dry. (so help me God.)
-my skin. which has a gazillion rashes— no thanks to that olay total (side) effects that i bought in macau.
-the sellers at the night market along tung choi, whom i terrorized with my cold and merciless haggling.
-those good looking chinese men who didn’t get to talk to me because they don’t speak english. (or is it the other way around?)
-that lacoste accessory outlet that is suppose to exist somewhere near st. paul’s ruins, which i didn’t find. too bad, i was suppose to raid– err– buy all its bags.
excuse my verbal diarrhea.
i wanted to say happy new year. but that won’t be enough.
so let me just borrow from my ex-boyfriend, neil, who in his blog wrote:
May your coming year be filled with magic
and dreams and good madness. I hope
you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
