Creepy Advertisement

This ad is probably the creepiest I’ve ever seen in my life. Click on the image for a clearer look. It doesn’t help that the ad is right smack on www.allrecipes.com with foodie photos that make me drool. Her eyes are just unreal. Actually, her eyes remind me of Storm on X-men. Her lips are going through a serious collagen overdose. What in the world is she supposed to do with mortgage loans? Maybe she’s going through major In-n-Out withdrawals? OR, did allrecipes put this ad there so that I wouldn’t flood my keyboard from drooling over photos of yummy-looking food?

By the way, if you’re wondering, yes, that teriyaki recipe was pretty yummy! Five stars from me! But, that creepy ad gets NEGATIVE 5 stars!

In-N-Out, Full of Quality

Mar 26, 2008 | Tags: , ,

It has come to my attention that I must spread the joy of In-N-Out.  Last year when I was separated from California for a *gasp* 6 months, I went back in a frenzy to eat at all my favorite places. In-N-Out was one of those places, obviously.  As you can see below, I took extra caution to make sure that the burger was buckled up to prevent any damage that could occur in any unforeseeable accidents. God forbid if my burger ended up splattered on the windshield! After all, I don’t think Geico would have covered burger damages under their policy.

All of these people are identical, and they WORK HARD for customers. Do not underestimate these people. They actually have In-N-Out 401(k) plans!

Their motto isn’t bullshit.

Hi, sister’s hand!

So, that, my friends, is the wonderful story of In-N-Out.

Marilyn Manson in ASL

Mar 25, 2008 | Tags: , ,

Queenalpo wasn’t kidding when she said that this was THE new shit. Turn up that subwoofer, and prepare for a good American Sign Language (ASL) show!

I’m just so in awe of how the ASL completely blends in with Marilyn Manson’s “This Is The New Shit” song. I have NEVER seen anything in ASL that goes with the music perfectly. The word “perfect” isn’t taken lightly with me. When I say perfect, it’s a big deal. Seriously. I even checked the lyrics just to be sure.

You have got to watch this. I’ve watched it about 5 times already, and I’m still in shock at how good this is. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if I start signing along and copying his moves, just like I did for Paula Abdul and New Kids on the Block (don’t laugh, please, they were THE shit, too!) way back in the day.

Warning: the song has a lot of colorful graphic words in it. If you don’t like that, don’t click on the video link. Also, another warning: this video/song can totally get you addicted!

Thanks, Queenalpo!

Beware - Cheesy Post

Mar 25, 2008 | Tags: ,

Last weekend, Jeff had some funny, cheesy things to say.

Me: “Got any honey for the recipe?”
Him: “Of course I have honey” (points at me)

Me: “I want the blackberry curve NOW.”
Him: “But you already got nice curves!”

Me: (organizing the bachelor pantry) “I’m going to move all the hot sauces to the cabinet in the kitchen.”
Him: “OK. That means I have to put you in the cabinet too, since you’re hot.”

These comments made me laugh, swoon, then laugh again.

San Francisco, From Up Above

Aerial Shots of San Francisco Bay Area

 

Whenever I fly, I always take the aisle seat because of my super tiny bladder. For my recent trip back home, I drank less water and sat at the window seat, because I wanted to get shots of my favorite American city from up above. So check out the above link and drool away.

When I started to land in San Francisco, I whipped my camera out and stated taking aerial shots of the Bay Area like an obsessed freak. The person next to me was probably thinking, “What is that freak doing?” On a second thought, she probably was wondering why the hell Jennifer Aniston is so secretive about her love life, as she was flipping through the Life & Styles Magazine.

Because my flight was delayed, we had to circle in the air above the Bay Area three times. Perfect! So, I got some great shots all around. It was extra fascinating to see the San Francisco skyline from straight above instead from the side. Also, it was great to see the new Bay Bridge that is currently being built, which isn’t easy to see while on the ground. I absolutely loved Kara’s comment about the new bridge picture: “Stay to the left people, stay to the left.”

Anyways, definitely a whole different perspective of the city.

Long Toenails Exposed!

Today, I disgraced a Californian pool with long toenails.

The below picture is proof I haven’t seen my feet in months due to the cold weather back East.

Who cares? Mess with me and I’ll feet-whip you!

Now, where are those nail clippers?

Meet Carlotta, the Catwoman

My family’s cat is…..unique. When I first met her last Thanksgiving, I noticed that she had human like expressions. Her eyebrows often bury into between her eyes, which is her way of saying, “WTF is wrong with this family?” But, if she has a frown to go along with it, she means, “I love you, why won’t you freaking pet me!?” Otherwise, she just goes around saying, icanhascheezburger.

The real kicker? Not only does she make the usual “meow,” but also, she’ll stand by everyone’s door in the morning and say, “A-looww.” It sounds very close to “hello.” It’s her way of saying “WAKE THE HECK UP!! I’m bored!”

Freaky, huh?

This is what I come home to in California…

I’ve arrived to California, but only to see my family is busting moves to Michael Jackson. Nice to know that some things just don’t change!

Sister’s Birthday

Mar 14, 2008 | Tags: ,

To my baby sister,

Exactly eighteen years ago, Nana and Poppop hauled me to the hospital while our Mom was in labor. Just a few short hours later, I heard screaming and crying. That’s when you were born. You had jet black hair and blue eyes. You grew into a beautiful blonde. Taller than me, even! I guess I’m stuck as the shortie in the family now.

Some of my favorite memories with you:

~Making fun of mom’s clothes.

~Letting you play with my TTY thinking it was such a fascinating toy.

~Watching you run around the house with your dad’s gigantic shoes.

~Dancing to NKOTB & Paula Abdul together.

~Running up and down the stairs for no reason giggling.

~Chasing you around on the beach with a dead horseshoe. You were so freaked out.

~Hiding your “blankie” to piss you off. Haha!

~Making cake at 1a.m. and laughing our asses off because Mom got a MySpace account.

You are smart as hell, Sometimes I feel like my brain is the size of a dime around you! Regardless, I couldn’t be more proud to have you as sister.

Happy 18th Birthday!

 

Love,

Your old fart sister

P.S. Watch out people, she’d whip your ass in Michael Jackson dance moves!
