It's okay to rest up for a few days, right? Then why am I feeling ansy? (sp?) Playing daughter to Mom... with much flowers all around the house! @_@

It's been 3 days since I've been able to post anything to this bloody blog. pitas is indeed a crack whore.
1) Mom went to the hospital on Monday to remove a small tumor, and then when the doctor advised that it's carcinoma in situ (stage 0 cancer) and she should get a mastectomy done, she decided that since she's there already, might as well check in right away and get it done the next day (Tues: the doctor operates on Tues, Thurs and Sat). The whole thing went really well, took around 3 hours, 10am till around 1pm-ish... she was fully awake by around 4pm-ish and eating dinner by 6pm-ish. When the doctor came by Wednesday morning, she said she could go home whenever. Mom was gonna stay till the evening and get Dad or me to drive her home, but one of our aunties were visiting and said "Oh, I've got a driver and a car downstairs" and so Mom checked out. And didn't tell me. And how did I find out? My coworkers were nice and decided to send some flowers to the hospital, and then the delivery man called them up and said "Um, she's checked out." And they went "Huh?" at me and I went "HUH!?!?!?" and called around and found her at home. "Like, shouldn't you stay another day or so? You just had surgery!!" "But I'm feeling fine and it's more comfortable at home!" Aiyaa....
2) Last day of work was yesterday. Had a nice lunch (dim sum) with people, and then also had drinks after work (note to self: hate cosmopolitans, tastes like cough medicine). Slept in till 11am this morning. *groggy*

Am just back from drinks at Penni-chan (The Lobby at the Penninsula Hotel, loveliest spot for tea in this ex-colony) with Gladys who was supposed to fly today but didn't, and Karen-chan.
Conclusions:
1) One can not have close guy friends unless they are married, safely taken, gay, or the whole possibility/sexual tension thing has otherwise been dealt with.
Corollary: If guy calls everyday and talks for an hour about nothing in particular, he's interested in you.
2) Being in an all girls' school for 10 years (avg.) causes one to mess up any future relationships royally as did not grow up with guys and did not learn their quirks early on, thus leading to one grand disaster after another.
3) "Don't waste my time, and don't waste my emotions."
4) Do not fling if one will be hung up about it for the next six months. (And if one is not aware of fling until one is in the middle of it, one is usually screwed.)
5) One should physically remove oneself from buildings/environments that reek of emotional toxic waste asap, so it doesn't recycle through one's system *yet* again.
6) If parentals disapprove of significant others of the non-Chinese variety, wait till one is 30 and then anything breathing will do.
7) Do not participate in "If both of us are [some age] and we're both still single, let's get married" pacts, if it ends with "... because you can cook."
8) We still believe in True Love. Don't settle.

So much for creating a title bar last night. I fell asleep at an unprecedented 9pm. -_-; *thud*
In other news, I've turned into Miko, Girl Portrait Photographer. ^_^; Besides Evie-chan who can't get enough pictures taken, Momo-chan and Kat both asked for pictures. (Momo wanted pretty girl pictures, while Kat's more into swing-skirt-dance-move things. ^_^;) So I spent an afternoon each with them, 2 rolls of colour + 1 roll of B&W of Momo, 4 rolls of B&W of Kat with 2 rolls of colour of Evie-chan who tagged along (and for whom the B&W development time of 3 days is way too long -_-;).
Anyhoo, the B&W came out much better than the colour in general, *I* think. Don't know why. Like the nuance much better. Maybe I'll put some up somewhere for people to look at. ^_^;

I think you can all tell I'm a bit bored here at work. -_-; Nearly the end of the day already... nearly there...
Was out with Gladys, Karen, Ada, Kat, Jamie, Hannah and Agnes last night... people were insane, and I think we all enjoyed shaking Gladys upside down and sideways till she spilled more about her German, um, Friend, *cough*. Many Extra Strength Long Island Ice Teas were consumed, mostly by Karen and Gladys. (Okay, so mostly by Karen.) I really need to stay away from alcohol if I want to remain upright... I had one Long Island Ice Tea and I was falling asleep right there at Nathan's. *zonk* -_-; Too many people running around the world! Will we ever be in the same place at the same time again? Or will the universe implode? *mraaaaaaaa* x_x

I didn't know they were making more RK OVAs till I saw a calendar for it on sale. @_@ I was going like, "Dude, what the hell is this Seisouhen thing?"
From looking at the site, I think it's about what happens at/after the end... KenshinxKaoru fans rejoice. -_-; Check out the character design for slightly grownup Kenji... Did they just recycle the Tsuiokuhen young Kenshin designs?? @_@
Me, I think I'll keep hugging my Tsuiokuhen DVD. ^_^;

New layout. Will make a nice title thing on when I get home, but will deal with text in the mean time. Is the body text hard to read? Lemme know. ^_^;
Happy New Year to everybody!
