Happy 50th Birthday Michael Jackson!!!

I'm not much a huge fan of Michael Jackson. Mainly because he looks down right freaky and alien looking. BUT - I am a fan of his Thriller music video. I grew up in the 80's so seeing it was just so awesome. It brings back memories of me being scared of zombies and crap. Wow! I can't believe he's 50! That's like almost my mom's age. Pretty trippy. Anyway, to celebrate his birthday an organization called Sunday Streets SF will be doing the Thriller dance routine beginning noon today at the Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco. Supposedly, they are going to imitate that infamous video footage from that jail at Cebu, Philippines. If you don't recall, I've attached a YouTube clip for your convenience. Too bad I'm stuck here in San Mateo. I want to see! I wonder if it's really going to happen. Sounds like fun!

Vow for Spontaneity

Don't you hate when you plan things way ahead of time and then when that time finally arrives...BOOM! Something came up! And the problem is that it's nobody's fault. Don't worry, I'm not trying to play the blame game. I'm fed up with it! Unless there's a dollar price attached to the prior engagement, I'm no longer going to plan something in advance! Just like I'm vowing to keep my virginity until the day I wed, I want to vow Spontaneity. SIKE! No, really, the second part is like totally true. I'm not even gonna try to plan the next time I become spontaneous. To be honest with you, it's like killing me inside right this very moment. LOL! OK, OK, I won't. Maybe at least try to be spontaneous once a month. Wait!! NO! No more planning it out. Ugh! I hate myself sometimes..... C'mon now...it's much funner that way, too! You know, to be spontaneous, remember? I usually have the bestest time ever! Friends (especially Gin & Jason) - I might one day just be so impulsive that I might just pay you a surprise visit! Tadaaaaaaaa! I'm at your front door step! Open up damnit and let's kick it! As much as I'd love to, I can't tell you when though, k? Remember? I'm attempting to be more spontaneous. Don't you love the suspense? Hehe!

3 More Days until Race Day

Am I ready? Uhh, NOPE! But a committment is a committment. This Sunday, I'll be a virtual runner participating in the Nike+ Human Race 10K. The charity I chose to run for is the Lance Armstrong Foundation. (BTW - If any of you want a yellow bracelet, I have like a hundred of them! Hit me up!) It's been a while since I actually jogged or ran. LOL! No worries. I'm confident about it. If I can do a Half Marathon, I can do a 10K. I'm kind of pissed though. I registered for this run MONTHS ago, right? So this morning, I log into the Nike+ website and find out...... WTF! They have been selling tees specifically for this event online. I know it's too late to order via the web so I'm in a rush to get one. I'm really hoping NikeTown in S.F. or Nike Women in San Jose has it. I have to wait an hour for the stores to open. Uhhh! The anticipation. Please be available, please be available! I want to look cute that day...

"TABO" List Accomplishment - Edition #1

All but Item 1.) have not been previously listed in my Tabo List. They were pretty random, but at the same time I'm proud of so I'm sharing them with you. 1.) Yellow Belt Test: YAY! I'm one step closer in achieving my Black Belt in Kenpo. As Wowowee would say, "Hep, Hep - HOORAY!". I'm kind of stressing though. My test for my next belt ranking is the same night I'm hosting bare-faced.com's fundraiser event - Friday, September 5th. Crap! Guess, I'll be cutting it real close. I'm still oh sooo excited =D 2.) I met and befriended my son's best friend's mother at school (finally). She's El Salvadorian and is really, really sweet. Normally, I'm a bit skeptical about meeting mothers at EJ's school. Let's just say his school is like on border line Hillsborough territory. Lots of soccer-plastic-overachieverness-competitive-ballerific like moms. Enough said. Anyway, we exchanged numbers and I offered to pick up and drop Eric (her son EJ's best friend) off at home in the afternoon immediately after she told me that she pays a friend $5 a day to do the task. WTF? What type of friend is that? I, for sure hope I never meet someone that requires I pay a fee for their friendship services. Totally wrong! 3.) I'm currently in the process of cleaning my cubicle right now. I'll be working late, but I can't wait to see the look of all my co-workers' face when they finally see the cherry wood surface! No more white paper work piling up to the ceiling!! Pics will be posted tomorrow. Yay for me! What can I say? I work well under pressure =) Actually, I received an email specifically targeted at me this afternoon from my boss' boss. Ooops!

"Could you please tidy up your workstation in case the potential investors come down tomorrow? Thank you very much."

Inappropriate You Think?

I'm still apartment hunting for my Lola. I find a nice looking 2 bedroom/1 bath triplex unit for rent in San Mateo. $1,475 - not bad, right? So, I called him yesterday. The landlord/owner's name is Joe and I call his cell phone. He seemed really polite and pleasant on the phone. I went ahead and schedule a time to view the place [Today @ 6pm]. When we were about to hang up, he says "See you then, Sweetie". I'm like WTF? So I told my mom that I made an appointment and brought up that he called me 'sweetie'. Tell me why did my mom say - "Share, just work your charm with him, we really need a place right away." I'm like WTF (2x)! Cause...having a mother that promotes sexual harassment. Can I say - AWKWARD! So I called a few minutes ago to confirm - this time this mother humper calls me 'sweetheart'. WTF (3x)! Is this really appropriate? 'Which apartment are you inquiring about, sweetheart?" Then, later on goes, "I'll see you at 6pm, sweetheart". Ugh! Of course, I can't really say anything back or cuss at him cause hello! Rent is ridiculously cheap and it's looks like a fairly decent sized place and is located conveniently in San Mateo. Am I trippin' out?
