You know why it’s soo wacky?

I rushed to get my paper and presentation done only to find that my class was cancelled! Yes, it’s an FML moment.

I promised to post more pictures up of Halloween so I will post one.

This picture will show how SKANKY my outfit was.

I couldn’t sit down on a chair without showing my undies. And yes, those are Christian Louboutins! Who can rock Christian Louboutins with a skanky cop outfit? Me!

Yes, I need to get a tan as well

Anyways, enough skankiness and on with the food!

This was my lunch yesterday. Pesto pasta with chicken. I think it made me sick though because I had a hot flash after and I had to sit a bit before going back to work. I even tied my hair with a rubberband! Yes, it was that hot.

This was today’s lunch. My favorite soup with udon noodles! Love this! I would eat this every day if I could!

Then I snacked on some back to Nature honey graham sticks. Really good and I think it’s organic. I have to check the label again.

I got this at Whole Foods along with some soymilks, wheat crackers, brioche buns (yumnmmm), some couscous and a…….. KOMBUCHA!!!

I will post a picture of my first kombucha. Kinda scared though but I want to be able to like it.

Until then loves,

Goodnight!

I took the most awesome picture ever!!!

I will update more pictures soon!

I have to be honest with you girls,

Life has been really crazy for me.

I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised, I’ve gone through alot within the past 2 months. Going through some crazy phases in life is good for me because I realize things.

I will tell you guys what happened with my time away.

I have been drinking alot. I know it’s horrible! I finally got it out of my system after one drunken night of vomiting and waking up with red dots on my face and eyes (i popped a lot of blood vessels when I threw up). I’m pretty much done with drinking too much. I went to go see the bartender that day and drank WAYYYY too much. I mean free drinks? Yeah, I did go too far.

I’ve also not been eating which led to me losing a lot of weight fast. When I have been eating, I’ve been eating CRAP.

3 weeks of this led me to many epiphanies. I will seriously get back into eating healthy and working out. I owe it to myself and my body.

Even after all this craziness and life changing experiences, I’ve never been happier.

I think a lot of drinking also had to do with me being so down on myself. I think the weirdest but most needed talk was with Danny Boy (bartender). We had a semi-date but it led to us talking about everything that was going in our lives and I told him how guilty I felt for breaking Richard’s heart and that I feel that I got over it really quickly. To which he responded, you were done two years ago. So you shouldn’t feel bad. Which is right because I stopped really feeling anything about Richard 2 years ago but I stayed with him because I’m a loyal girlfriend. Then I realized yeah, I am happy. My sister even claimed that she’s never seen me soo happy. I mean everyone is sad about me and Richard. My cousin even said how sad everyone is and that my parents are going to be super sad ( I know I haven’t told them yet!). But I mean, am I suppose to be miserable to keep everyone else happy? I realize I just have to make myself happy.

It’s funny when you could’ve had everything, you realize it’s not what you want. I mean Richard was perfect on paper: He came from a really good family, was going to be an engineer, tall, handsome, good guy. I saw my future with him as a middle-class white collar family with 2 little kids in a suburban neighborhood. I realized I don’t want that at all. I know it sounds crazy but I don’t want that life.

In conclusion, I’ve never been happier, I’m over being sad and living my life for others. I’m going to live for me. Which means I’m dropping accounting and when I’m done with my finance degree, I will be attending culinary school whether my parents support me or not.

I hope I didn’t bore you girls.

On to food:

This is the only picture I have. It’s a ribeye steak that cost me a good chunk of money…. that I fed my dogs. Haha. My parents told me I was crazy to spend that much on my dogs but I love them so much!

I know I say I will update more, and I will say it again but this time I mean it!

To those that spend time to read my blog, I thank you.

I went to my first candle party every today! It was pretty cool because I’ve never gone to any of these types of parties and I’m glad I got to experience it.

I need to throw a tupperware party fo sho! woot woot!

I had a crazy night with the girls last night. It ended from going to Chili’s to the movies and then a bar and to some stranger’s apartment. CRAZY. The waiter, Roy, was pretty awesome at Chili’s. Of course I got a little tipsy and I jokingly told him it was my birthday. He said, “Really?” and I said, “No, just kidding!” 10 minutes later, I see him carrying an ice cream sundae with his coworkers and came over and sang me happy birthday. No joke, one of the funniest things I’ve had happened to me that night. What a cool guy.

Watching Paranormal Activity, NOT SCARY AT ALL!! Too much hype! I mean it was good and it was different but I still slept soundly that night. I’m desensitized to these things, that’s how cynical I am. haha

We then proceeded to a couple of bars and finally settling down to Paddy Flynns which was awesome because the lady bartender was straight from Ireland! Crazy night.

Breakfast:

I had a Trader Joe’s mini pita with some laughing cow cheese and a fried egg. Yummy!

Then before my sister and I went to the candle party, I got a tall coffee in a grande cup so I can fill the rest up with skim milk. My cafe au lait. It’s pretty cool how I can just make it without paying extra hehe. I was scaring my sister because I was going 80mph while trying to drink my hot coffee!

At the party I had 3 turkey roll ups, half a cookie and a small brownie.

For dinner my sister and I went all out!

I was craving Benihana and it was too expensive so we had our little habachi grill of our own.

Of course some fried rice!

Of course some veggies!

Of course some spicy sauce to dip it in!

What we started off with.

What we ended up with.

Of course I had to wash it all down with my favorite pale ale!!

Watching Pineapple Express right now, can James Franco be any cuter?!

-Annie

The time is here, for midterms. I just had one last night and will have 2 more next week! Life is hectic and I’m loving it!!

Updates:

1. The bartender is in New York for a week so that is on hiatus.

2. I felt discouraged about my Accounting Information Systems class until I took the midterm last night when I realized I can do it!

3. I’ve been doing really good at work and people are starting to notice it.

4. I’ve stopped buying my lunch everyday which saves me $50 a week because downtown SF is riDONKulous and I can’t get lunch for less than $10.

Man, I don’t really have much going on. How do you girls have so much to write about everyday? You guys are AWESOME!!

This was my lunch for the past two days. Mini meatballs from Trader Joes with broccoli and wild rice. This is one of the best combinations in the world. I know it sounds weird but those meatballs be hella bomb!

I swear Trader Joe’s is one of the best stores in the world. It literally rocks my socks off. I basically bought $50 of groceries for this whole month’s lunches. I know for sure I can survive on my own with Trader Joe’s around!

I am not going to lie. I have been having a beer everynight and I’m enjoying it which is the bad part. Of course I drink my favorite pale ale!!

I finally had dinner with my parents which is very rare. My mama made tonkatsu and I made the steamed broccoli. I had a little bit of white rice with it.

My sister got this bomb Yoplait parfait thing. I don’t think the nutrition facts are really good but OMG I had a party in my mouth! Really decadent and delicious! A good treat once in awhile.

Well I have to hit the hay and wake up early so this little booger can finally get his cone taken off.

My poor baby.

-Annie

No, I don’t have erectile dysfunction… I have explosive diarrhea. Yes, you heard it hear first. I had food poisoning all day today. It started in the wee hours in the morning until late tonight.

I have a few theories on why I had this weird stomach bug

1. I have been drinking everyday for the past week. Yes I know it’s bad and it’s now out of my system so I won’t be drinking much anymore.

2. I had curry chicken at Bristol Farms and the chicken was kind of pink. OOO that must be it! It just hit me right now. Pink chicken.

That solves that. It doesn’t solve the fact that I missed a class today because I was toppling over in pain!

I had my mama’s soup again! LOVE IT! Excuse the ugly tablecloth. I had told my parents plenty of times that it looks like a bedsheet and that it needs to be removed at once! But, we hardly eat on our dining room table.

Guess what we had for dinner.

If you guys watch Man vs. Food religiously, you guys know I had Smoke Eaters for dinner!

Or at least my family did.

I had jook or congee or rice porridge. I had to settle my stomach somehow. This was the only thing I ate today because I didn’t want to die in the bathroom again.

I don’t know if it’s my family only but we put a little bit of soy sauce for flavor. I also had some gatorade, water and lots of tea.

I loved all the comments I got from you guys! And yes I have never eaten pumpkin pie. It’s just not my cup of tea.

About the bartender, aka Danny boy, I guess I’m embarassed the way I behaved that night but my sister my friend and I went back the next day and he still seemed interested. We’ve been texting a bit but I guess people in their 30’s aren’t really into texting? haha It’s cool though, loving it! Love Irish boys.

-Annie

It is currently 2:39 in the morning and I’m bored. I think I want to do the random facts.

1. I’ve never had a big mac before in my life. I’ve never really liked McDonalds as I did Burger King. I think it’s a Korean thing. In fact, something more shocking is that I’ve never had pumpkin. They both don’t appeal to me especially pumpkin. I’m pretty sure it’s delicious as hell but I just can’t bring my lips to it. I think it’s when my dad used to cut pumpkins for me for Halloween, I hated the smell and how it felt.

2. I’m pretty white-washed. I was known as the “white girl” in high school. For some reason I just don’t get along with Asians as much as I would like to. Love them white boys (like sue hehe).

3. I love planning things and doing routines. I used to make a to do list every morning or whenever I feel stressed. I don’t really necessarily follow through but it calms me down. I always have a routine for everything like showering, I always do my hair first, then body and then everything else. Eating is the same way, I make sure I portion everything right so that I have the right amount of carbs, meat and veggies in every bite.

4. I love commitments. I figured this out when talking to my coworker who told me the reason she may never want a tattoo is because she’s scared of commitments. Which is totally opposite from me because I love tattoos and I plan on getting some more. I’m a very loyal person and I love being committed which explains me and Richard being together for 5 years.

5. I love boys. I’m not picky either. I love the feel of boys and the look of boys. I’m boy crazy. Especially sexy boys. The bartender is a tall Irish boy with nice tattoos. LOVE IT. Ex boyfriend was Korean with a hairy football body. LOVE IT. The jerk was skinny with 6 piercings, mohawk and tattoos. LOVE IT. One thing that makes me swoon are sleeves.

6. I am the biggest tv junkie in the world and I also love movies. I cry in every movie possible. There is always something to cry about in movies.

7. I am really scared of bugs. Like about to shit in my pants scared. I think it had to do with my dad chasing me with dead bugs. He scarred me for life.

Comment me with your 7 random facts! I’d love to know more about you girlies!

Hey girlies!

Why didn’t anyone tell me that being single is really fun?! Sheesh I feel like a fun Annie has been released! Yeah excuse my title, I’ve been doing pretty bad in the drinking department but I’m having fun!

It was my first time going to an Irish pub and it was awesome. The bartender was really hot and I think we were feeling each other because he only asked for a 20 for 4 beers, 4 shots and an irish coffee that was split between the three of us. We were totally flirting and a kiss was shared (mind you I was drunk!) but he’s alot older than me though, not really old or I don’t know I thought it was old when he told me his age but it’s like a hot old not creepy old, I feel like age doesn’t matter but how do you girls feel about it? Did I share too much information?

FINALLY there are pictures of food, not a lot though but here ya go!

My sister gave me this sticker that she got in one of her Muse cds. I think it’s pretty awesome that rockstars care about that stuff.

I’ve been eating a whole bunch of double eggy sandwiches with laughing cow cheese. It keeps me full for hours!

I’ve been packing my lunch to work because I’m trying to save money so I can move out! I forgot to write this in the updates, did I? Oh well I don’t want to look back but I’m trying to move in with a friend in Oakland (it’s not that dangerous there!) I kind of ruined it though by drinking so much =(

Had to use my jamba juice gift card! I got my favorite popchip flavor and my regular Aloha Pineapple. I don’t know about you guys but I only go to Jamba Juice and Starbucks when I get gift cards.

Had this awesome barbeque chicken salad at Panera Bread. Actually it wasn’t that awesome, I’m exaggerating, it was good though!

and this super duper salty chicken noodle soup because they didn’t have my chicken and rice soup.

Do you guys know about Rodale?

I’ve been getting calls from them through Women’s Health and I just got a phonecall for a new book they want me to preview and that operator was one of the nicest people I’ve EVER talked to in my life! He told me I was such a pleasant nice person and that he hopes I take care and have a nice day. TOTALLY made my day!

I hope you girlies still read my blog! I want some advice on guys! Totally new at dating!

-Annie

Dang, where did I go again?

UPDATE:

1. There are a lot of celebrities that come to Bloomingdales and I never really see them because they’re on the selling floor and I’m in the cash office. But, I finally saw someone yesteday! TIM GUNN!!! I went to the second floor where he was doing a Kate Spade fashion show and I saw him! We weren’t allowed to talk to him but it was really exciting because I LOVE Tim Gunn.

2. My General Manager came up to me to tell me that all the managers think I’m great and that I’m doing a great job and he personally said he was VERY impressed. Do I smell a promotion? haha HOPE SO!

3. I am back to square one with dating. The guy I was kind of talking to or seeing ended up being a jerk…. Totally opposite from Richard with tats, a mohawk and piercings. Someone I wouldn’t bring to my parents. Was fun though, love meeting different kind of guys! Maybe I shouldn’t compare other guys to Richard.

4. I have been on an eating binge. I wanted to upload pictures but I am currently in San Jose trying to do this accounting homework and studying for a test tomorrow.

5. Love working at Bloomingdales especially this fat sale that we’re having for employees. I got a bunch of Theory stuff because that’s my brand and it ended up being 30%, 30%, 20%, 20%. Which means I got pants that are originally $195 for about $60!! I also got a beautiful dress for $100 from $295! LOVING IT!!

6. I’m going to move out soon! I’m moving in with my bestie in Oakland where I can easily take the Bart to work and hit HWY 880 to go San Jose for school. One of the reasons also has to do with my family. =( I’ve had enough nagging for a lifetime.

7. I’m gaining back all the weight that I lost from the stress and depression but I’m glad I’m enjoying food again.

8. I’m doing a new challenge in which I don’t buy food at all and I just pack just so I can prepare myself for moving out because my budget for food a week is going to be $20 which in theory is enough for one person. I will be tackling this challenge soon enough. That means no full priced yogurt and lots of Trader Joe stuff.

9. I finally went out this Friday. It was a coworker’s birthday and it was fabulous! Got kind of drunk which I haven’t been in a while and it got kind of crazy. (birthday kiss to the birthday boy, don’t worry he’s gay!) I don’t think I can handle alcohol!

10. Just taking it day by day. It’s still hard because I still feel lonely and still stressed from school.

Love you guys and thanks for all the support! Annie is for sure back!

Wow, I seriously need to keep updating! I’ve actually been trying to read all the blogs on my google reader when I have time.

I really don’t have that many food pictures because I really haven’t been eating much. Not really hungry and when I have, I’ve been buying food. The only good thing with not really eating is that I’m not craving meat as much because it sits heavy in my stomach and I just don’t want to feel full, maybe I want to feel empty inside. Aren’t I sad? Life’s a changing and Annie’s feeling it.

This was actually a week ago and this was a very filling lunch! Kept me full for hours! My sister wanted to boil the potatoes but I realized I don’t really like boiled potatoes or actually just the potato skins, it comes too chewy.

Then I had another Amy’s bowls one late night after work.

It was delicious!! The marinara sauce was SOOOO good that I was making sure I got every bit of sauce in that bowl.

I think I ate this before my shift on Thursday. My favorite way of eating green beans! Lightly stir fried with LOTS of garlic and soy sauce. YUMMY!!

Then I had one of those $0.88 frozen Michelina dinners. Pretty good. Good portion sizes.

This was my lunch on Thursday.

I had pumpkin seed flax granola.

With Siggi’s! I’ve seen this yogurt in blog world and I’ve always wanted to try it because #1, I like to try different types of yogurt and #2 the packaging is really pretty!

My take on this yogurt?

The thickest yogurt I’ve had up to date. ZHHEEE thickest! That’s all I have to say. Pretty good though.

Well I think my next post will feature an important subject, ME! I hope you guys are excited! Don’t put your hopes too high though!

Goodnight!

-Annie
