Blogs Fade Into Darkness

2012-01-27T00:07:00.000-08:00

Looking up there's always sky
Rest your head, I'll take you high
We won't fade into darkness
Won't let you fade into darkness

When I'm working, I like to play music or videos to keep me entertained. Currently on my playlist is How I Met Your Mother: Season 6. One of the characters is Barney and he has this blog that is always mentioned on the show. As seasons progress, they joke about how no one writes or reads blogs anymore. Makes me wonder why I still do it, and why 2 of my followers still read it...

Why worry now? You'll be safe
Hold my hand, just in case
And we won't fade into darkness
Fade into darkness

I started blogging over 10 years ago. No reason to stop yet. I've always wanted to start up a vlog (video blog), but kind of hate the thought of seeing myself and hearing myself talk. I wish I knew someone who keeps a vlog... hmm... I have someone in mind right now... gotta go. BRB!

Goodby To You Romance

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

Today my 2 o'clock was running late so I decided to check out Fluff Ice (Atlantic Times Square plaza in Monterey Park). The best way to describe this place is: Class 302 meets PinkBerry. The 'fluff ice' isn't as yummy as Class 302's 'shaved snow' but it was still quite tasty. My cousin Tiffany owns a similar joint out in Dallas, TX called Sweet Mix -- they also serve delicious crepes and savory waffles -- a must try!

While I was seated and scarfing down my dessert, a young man walked in and approached the cashier with a bouquet of flowers. I thought he was a delivery boy, but then I noticed his hands were shaking as he handed them to her. I couldn't hear him speak but from his body language, I could tell he was nervous... wait a minute... he's not a delivery boy... those flowers are from him! (my Poker skills coming into play, ha!). She kept nodding her head and mouthing "No, I can't accept his!" but after a few tries she finally caved. He also tried giving her a box of chocolates but that didn't work... he tilted his head down and walked out the door without her number - FAIL. :-(

I actually thought that was a pretty sweet and BOLD gesture. 99.9% people who try to ask me out usually do it over Text Messaging or Facebook. Whatever happened to Face-to-Face or a Personal-Phone-Call? Are guys THAT scared of rejection? Or is the human race evolving into this Wall-E world? Whatever it is, I don't like it.

I hope that girl gives him a chance if he ever comes back.

Here's a short video from Wong Fu productions titled "Technology Ruins Romance: Destiny" somewhat related to the topic...

Who else here is guilty of Facebook Stalking? :: raising my hand :: No Shame! LOL

New Year, New Blog(spot)!

This is where I usually list out my new year's resolutions, but since I'm not so good at keeping them, forget it! Let's just say I'm starting this one off on a positive note.

Dear Drama,

Please leave me alone this year.

Sincerely,
LT

It's been a crazy couple of years.. looking forward to what other crazy things 2012 has in store for me. Happy New Year!
