mature panties
omg this is so embarrassing. so you know how you plan what clothes to wear? but you never plan panties right? i went to bed in bright blue panties then wore a dress to work. it's not that sheer, you guys have seen it before (no there's no big hole in the back) but for some reason you could see my panties! arghhh well kinda see. i thought you could see. i was so self conscious about it the whooole day ): the dress is tan colored by the way with a pattern! so i don't understand! arrrrrrr
anyway. the couple i'm living with (more precisely the woman) likes to buy things. EVERYTHING. her house is full of interesting junk. she has a closet full of hats. she makes sea shell necklaces. there's plates hanging on all the walls. and she recently accquired a pair of multi colored, kinda quilted pants that surely has indian or thai descent. its pretty awesome. anyway she bought me this dress! so nice right?? i wanted to pay her back but then she told me she bought it at a vintage store for TWO DOLLARS. holy shit if i could buy things for that cheap, my house would be full of junk too.
here's some other funky junk she's got.
the porch/sun garden room
dining room. the vine twined around the chandilier was added in by her
isn't this the most disgusting shit you have ever seen?? it's an heirloom tomato OMG it's so gross. it's supposed to be "meatier" than a normal tomato. who the hell wants to eat a meaty tomato??
YUCK
this is a french knife (i think) it's made specially to decorate watermelons. you know those pretty ridges you see on the side when people cut watermelons in half? yuuup here's how you do it.
much lovve.

weekend notes
this weekend was not that exciting. we did go to watch the proposal (i love ryan reynolds he's so hot but for some reason in this movie his eyes looked too close together. or they just had too many close ups of his face) and go to smiley's (this local bar that we said we're going to become regulars at)
it was at smiley's that i confirmed my suspicions that chris is gay. here's some clues:
1. his idol is britney spears, he's gone for her concerts
2. he's also gone for taylor swift's concerts
3. he made music videos from a remix of three of beyonce's songs
4. he lives with two girls
5. he calls people bitch regularly
but at smiley's he finally told me straight out and he's going to meet the guy he's semi dating over forth of july! sexciting. he's kinda doing long distance so we had a nice talk (:
oh one afternoon chris and i also went to falls park. this was before i knew his sexual orientation and the boyfriend almost got angry but it was ok in the end. falls park is pweetty. the crazy thing was that we saw this dude slide down the waterfall with nothing! just wearing shorts and a tee no shoes. OMG
chris the cutie
the waterfall the guy slide down! OMG!

the waterfall the guy slide down! OMG!work is getting crazy cos virginia my small boss left. the ranking goes like this
junior account executive (entry level) > account exec > account supervisor > account director
most accounts don't have directors; a single director overlooks a few accounts. i was intern/junior ae, now i'm doing ae stuff. god save me. so maybe if i get hired i won't be entry level. maybe

EXtra
i just had the worst nightmare ever. i was in a shopping mall. or somewhere. and talking to poom on the phone. we were kinda arguing about something, not a heated argument but i knew in my dream, that we were disagreeing. and then this other person comes on the phone, a voice that i can't identify but sounds vaguely male. then it kinda morphs and it's his ex! and she's like giving me relationship advice? WTH. like how i should be handling this situation, how we both should be reacting and how i can make everything better. all the while in a patronizing, oh you poor stupid girl, voice. i don't know where poom was but i remember being really mortified in the dream. and hanging up and wandering around the mall, lost. i didn't understand why he would do that. was it on purpose or out of sheer exasperation? because i'm not enough? because she's better and will always be better in the relationship? it was really horrible. i woke up really upset and called poom and he laughed at me ):
i think i kinda know why i had that dream. cos we've been kinda having problems about THE EX. ok as an ex myself, i can understand why you should remain friends. i always talk about wanting to be friends with daniel, although he blatantly doesn't want to be. so yes, i can understand it's hurtful to see someone who was your best friend suddenly kick you out of their life. but at the same time, you can't really be friends. you can be acquaintances. there is a line. especially when you broke up LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO. RAWR. and i think you need time apart, you can't be friends immediately. and it's so obviously she still likes him!!!! but i hate to be the bitch! argh. ): i mean i know its hard but seriously get a life you stupid bitch. i know he's trying to protect her, god only knows why. he denies it but once it slipped and he actually said it, but i didn't want to say anything about it. sighh i want to be a good understanding girlfriend. i really do.
i thought all the craziness was over? argh. i guess once a crazy, always a crazy.

If one was destined to be heartbroken from the start, why did one fall in love at the beginning?

food/fire/fuzz.
last weekend was pretty fuun. on friday night my american parents (because i don't know what else to call the couple i'm living with) had a dinner party that they invited me too. it was a pretty big affair and she cooked for three days to prepare for it! we had baked salmon with strawberries, a tomato pie, basil chicken, mozzerela and watermelon salad and mayo less coleslaw with apples and pecans. and the hors d'oeuvres were really yummy! cheese biscuits with a pecan on top and dehydrated lady's finger (it's actually really really good, crunchy and healthy) among other things.
pimm's cup! the best summer drink ever. pimm's liquor+ginger ale+sprite+lemons
all the different cups for all the different drinks!
one of the hors d'oeuvres in a glass piano (:
the mozzerella and watermelon salad
apple slaw
one of the other interns randomly decided to buy fireworks so on saturday night we had a fireworks party (: complete with rum and ginger ale! (which really tastes like cream soda yumm) i think the photos turned out pretty awesome
these were really cool cos they were roman candles which means like a few rays of fireworks pop out in three second intervals. cos it was dark and at f3.5, the light rays were all captured! the shutter was open for like 30 seconds i swear
so i guess it's getting a lot better here (: more to do and more people. today i went to volunteer at these womens' facility for mothers recovering from drug abuse. so when they go for their weekly two hour narcotics anonymous meeting, we look after the babies! they are so cuute omggg one of them (10 months) has hair that's like a fuzzy peach. he will be referred to as "peach head" from now forth. peach head can't walk but likes to crawl and climb. he thought i was a jungle gym. he also likes to drool. alot. but is forgiven cos i get to rub his fuzzy little peach head and fat little belly. when peach head lies on your lap on his back and you pull his legs up to his face, he giggles. he's so cuuute. i baby talked for a solid two hours. i'm going back every week to help out. but, things i will hire professions to do for my baby in the future:
1. check diaper
2. change diaper
3. burp baby
4. clean up baby throw up
5. wipe up drool
oh yeah and peach head's real name is caleb.
until next timee

alternatives to retail therapy
i started this post about this weekend that i never finished ack sorryy getting to it
i just made banana bread! two mini loaves. (they are really not that big about six inches long, three inches wide)
the consequence of your boyfriend telling you about the multiple girls he's dated. at the same time. whilst with his long term girlfriend of five years. the only silver lining to this is that he says he's learnt not to cheat. mmhmmm
i'm not really sure what to make of it. because. well i mean omg i accepted changwen and gave him the benefit of the doubt right?? that somewhere deep within there was a good person? (no) so. i can handle this?
it makes me sad. i honestly have no idea what he's doing right now, except for whatever he tells me. i don't want to be a crazy paranoid girlfriend and i really do believe every word he tells me. i trust him. please don't let me down.
i love you much.

don't believe everything you see on tv
so on monday i went for my first commercial shoot! it was exciting and boring at the same time haha we spent 10 hours shooting about 10 seconds worth of commercial so just imagine all the down time
it was for an american restaurant commercial, the sizzling steak, pouring sauces kind. it all looks good in the commercial, but it is gross to watch on set. the charred grill marks on the steaks? they're manually put on with a hot rod. and if that still doesn't get them dark and charred looking enough, we fill it in with a sharpie marker! ditto to the grilled veggie skewers. The steaks also aren’t cooked, instead a blow torch is used to just make sure the surface of the steak is all cooked to the same color.

the beginning
adding extra color to the food!
filming the flipping on the hero steak
blow torching it to perfection mmhmmm
adding grill marks!they are huge on precision too and i mean really anal things. for some reason because i was "the intern" i was supposedly the least biased and had the most audience perception so i was asked to make the final calls on their anal critiques. for example, when we were filming the steak on the grill part, the height on the flames were debated on for 20 minutes?? and the steak that's like getting filmed is called the "hero steak" hahaha
the drinks are all fake too. just colored water with fake ice cubes that never melt. the salad has a mound of mashed potato underneath it to keep it high and fluffy and water is sprayed on for that dewy look. all the meat is also soaked in oil so under light they glisten and look yummy (although i just think it looks fatty)
we spent another 15 minutes arguing about the color of the ice tea. and whether it was ice tea colored or too pepsi colored. or too diluted. and about the brush that’s used (you see about half an inch of this brush by the way) to brush on the bbq sauce. and about the direction the knife was pointing.
the first cut of the commercial came out end of day tuesday and we just re edited stuff so its ready to air on monday. it’s all so fast its exciting! i think i could get used to this. but i will never be able to watch food commercials in quite the same way anymore

side track: i am in love! you will have to come to bangkok to look for me in the future hee <3

hello south carolina
so it's been a week since i've arrived. i really should have started earlier but ok brief summary until today.
j u ne 5 fr i d a y
just arrived in the afternoon. settled in went to get basic necessities (shampoo, chocolate etc) and the bank. so by the time i got to the house i'm staying at it was 5pm? i was so depressed i just cried myself to sleep.
ok some explanation. i'm staying with an old couple (mr and mrs smeaton) i get like this little part of the house with a bed room connected to a bathroom and a little living room with arm chairs, tv, fridge and the like. they are really nice don't get me wrong, like grandparents. but yeah being in this little drab sleepy town and dreaming about new york just really made me. every time i thought about it i would feel sorry for myself. i was stuck here i couldn't get any where because i have no car there's no public transport. down town consists of one street with restaurants which is a half hour walk away. i don't know anyone at all. i can't groccery shop. my internet sucked. i have to walk to work 1.5 miles (25 minutes?) everyday. you can't buy alcohol after 7pm wtf. basically i was trapped with nothing to do except cry.
the kitchen
my bedroom! chandelierrr (:
my bathroom
the disaster zone
j u n e6 s a t ur da y
woke up super early. nothing to do. really just spent the whole day in tears. i hate feeling sorry for myself like that and sobbing in my own self pity. it is not that bad. there are much worse things. i think if i didn't have a boyfriend who was willing to listen to me sob and talk to me i would have spent the whole day in bed.
at night i went to this shakespeare in the park play with mr smeaton. the park was pretty nice there's like a mini waterfall and bridge and all.
ju n e 7 sun day
please refer to june 6, saturday.

work! finally started! slightly better cos i finally had something to do omg. the company is super nice. the people are friendly and the office is filled with toys and dogs. there's a pool table. a punching bag. a few xboxes and play stations and on one floor, everyone has their own wii! there's a little serenity garden. basketball hoops and random projector screen tvs. i like it (:
fa s tf o r war d
i'm working on an account for this restaurant which is like a chilli's or tgif kinda thing. except its called FATZ CAFE which kinda freaks me out because, well if i'm going to sell it i have to try the food right? FATZ. we tried it out one day for lunch and it lives up to its name. the portions are huge. they put cheese under everything but well hidden so you get in those extra calories without even noticing! the vegetables which you think are healthy are smothered in cream or cheese sauce. anddd the bread they serve are fried! fantastic huh?
my team is pretty nice too and i think i'm lucky cos my intern program is different from the other 8 interns. i actually get a primary account whereas they are more like floaters, doing random tasks. i like the focus and depth of my internship. and i like it that this company is full service, which means they do every single aspect of advertising - account management, media, creative, production, digital. so i can get my hands on everything. next monday i'm going for a commercial shoot! sexxcited (: its one of those where they show lots of yummy food being cooked etc for a special limited promotion and we have a food stylist to do that! isn't that interesting to work as someone who makes food look pretty?? there's a dish that has two prawns on it and to ensure we get the "prettiest" ones (she actually said that) we need a 5 lbs bag of shrimp omg and we have to buy the exact brand of everything that the restaurant uses. i can't wait for the shoot!
ok so the other interns are nice but, well most of them are southerns (suuhhh then errs) and they are just different. they sleep at 9pm. the girls think waxing is some new fangled thing. they work out EVERYDAY sometimes before work, which starts at 8.30am. omg. sorry i can't keep up. they are nice but. like those nice dumb girls you know? one guy from washington dc is ok. as in more interesting and real. less fluffy. more worldly.
i'm a lot better now. not maniac crazy crying. my period came too. this weekend i went out for dinner with the inerns on friday then to this bar which is supposed to be nice but not really. they have nice margaritas though! last night we watched this scary movie (the descent, i hate it) at the guys house and had moscato and cookies haha so i guess it's getting better (:
sorry this is super ass long. there's actually much more details but i'll spare you. oh random facts:
i got a bike! yayy transport other than my two feeties (:
i'm going for yoga classes today hee the other interns are hiking but. well. hiking no thanks.
i had grits for the first time in my life today. it's this southern grain mush thing. don't try it. (the old couple always offer me food when they cook and they always do sunday brunch. today we had peppers and mushroom omelettes. garlic butter grits. peaches and toast. last week we made waffles! with raspberry and blueberry and greek yoghurt)
oh and we actually write the menus for the restaurant haha so i spent half a day coming up with yummy sounding names for dishes like grilled chicken (5 spice charleston chicken) and seafood salad (citrus seabreeze salad), subject to client approval. (the client is like a real housewife of new jersey).
ok long enough haha see y'allll
