Work, Work, Work, Work..

A hilarious take on what work life should truly be lol. Joel Stein made me laugh throughout his entire article "Nice Work if You Can Avoid It". Sounds like a dream boss =). If you have access to time magazine, check it out at the link below.

Time really needs to stop going by so fast...

One of my favorite bands, always brings a smile to my face =)

Are you watching?

Jaymay - Grey or Blue



You haven't written to me in a week I'm wondering why that is
Are you too nervous to be lovers, friendships ruined with just one kiss

But your sweatshirt says it all with the hood over your face
I can't keep staring at your mouth without wondering how it tastes
I'm with another boy; he's asleep, I'm wide awake
And he tried to win my heart, but it's taken time

Don't second guess your feelings you were right from the start
And I notice she's your lover, but she's nowhere near your heart
This city is for strangers, like the sky is for the stars
But I think it's very dangerous if we do not take whats ours

And I'm winning you with words because I have no other way
I'd love to look into your face without your eyes turning away

College Graduation Rings

I think this is a wonderful tradition. It is a reminder of your achievement of slaving away for years to get your degree.. and you can actually wear it everyday unlike your diploma. It's a shame when people "don't want to waste money on that sort of thing" or when they don't realize the power of networking it has when presented in certain situations. One look at your college graduation ring and you will be surrounded by questions such as "Oh, where did you attend?", "What was your major?", "What year did you graduate?", etc. My ring is similar to the one in the picture below. I am proud to be wearing a reminder of my FIU days and the late all nighters needed to get through International Finance and Strategic Marketing. Case and point, everyone should get one when the time comes.

SHM

Soo.. for some reasons most of my friends are gaga over Ultra and other music festivals. Because I refuse to spend $300 to stand next to a druggie who's having the time of his life, next best alternative was... Swedish House Mafia (a mere $50 for a day full of fun). All in all it was a great experience, I didn't see any of the stereotypical taboos that you are convinced you would find at that sort of event.. :: people overdosing in the bathrooms or orgies everywhere you turn :: The music was good with a set designed to have a better DJ after the next .I kind of like the earlier ones better like Dirty South or that guy there that was that guys little brother blah blah blah, also someone messed up with the order when they chose Pete Tong to go before SHM, or Pe Tetong as my friends call him lol. SHM entertained but didn't impress, me at least. Maybe next time they should do an encore. Moral of the story, would I do it again? It would have to be with the right crowd but everything should experience a music festival at least once in their lives =).

Cruises

Everyone knows they're fun, but are they really cost effective? Well you do get to visit more than one location at a time, they provide a room to sleep, food, transportation, and on board entertainment. But then again there are hidden fees.. like a $10 gratuity per day per person, excursions and souvenirs at every city, let alone the taxi rides from the port to downtown all add up. In the end though I'm a glutton for punishment. I've been on two cruises before, both on Carnival, both great experiences. The 1st went to Key Biscayne and Cozumel, the 2nd to the Bahamas. Now I am planning my 3rd and am torn in between the Valor which stops in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Belize, and Honduras, and the Liberty which stops in Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica. What to do, what to do... We'll find out this weekend. Any tips please let me know! Thank you! =)

Little Feet

It sucks having little feet. I am a size 5, at most. Do you know how many designers don't make size 5 shoes? Do you know how hard it is to find a good pair of size 5 shoes? People who complain about big feet should stop complaining. They probably get all their shoes on sale because it's always the last pair and no one buys it. Congratulations, now lets get something like that going for the little people please...
