| Y'all are just superficial.

| Does a girl ever look any sexier than when she first wakes up in the morning? When she's in her most natural and raw state? Yes, it's nice when she puts on makeup and does her hair. We certainly appreciate the effort she puts into her appearance, and she looks lovely... but the best and most intimate aspect of a girl is when there are no disguises, no pretenses... she doesn't have on a slinky dress, but an oversized shirt and pajama pants... she doesn't have makeup, but only the natural hue of her face... her hair isn't fixed up, but tousled and wild... she doesn't smell of perfume, but of morning breath... her eyes are squinted and her lips are curled into a grumpy morning frown, but she's still the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.

| Back from L.A. and man what a trip. I had an amazing time. It's late and I have to go back to work tomorrow, but I just wanted to emphasize the incredible amount of fun I had and to thank Justin for housing me and Peter for driving me around. The pictures should say the rest. Vegas L.A. Let's do it again! | | |
| So my laptop has been crapped up... been having problems for awhile and they've only worsened over time. Still, it's taken the threat of my warranty expiring soon to motivate me to finally call Dell. That, and I'm actually not crazy busy with work lately. Anyway, I'm anticipating that I'll have to ship out my system despite the fact that they keep making me run diagnostics to check the software so it's likely I'll be sans computer for a few weeks. Just to let you know I'll be M.I.A for awhile. Saturday I'm taking off for L.A. I'm incredibly excited. I'll be there from the 16th to the 24th and there will be plenty of people for me to see and catch up and hang out with. It should be all good friends, good food, and good times. Unfortunately before I go I have to take care of this Dell stuff and try to get my driver's license back since I got a speeding ticket on Saturday. Freaking Bloomington. Freaking ineptitude of the Clerk's Office of McLean County. I want my license. <sigh> I need a vacation. But yeah... excited... just gotta survive the week... | | |
| So when I was in Miami, an older Filipino gentleman walked up to me and asked my name.
"I'm Fred," I replied, to which he responded, "Fred Tan?"
"Yes..." I said, curious how he knew.
"Oh I'm Dennis's father," he told me. Dennis Manalo is one of my company's founders and partners.
"Oh! I see!" I said stupidly. I swear I can't talk to strangers... especially my elders.
"You're Filipino, right?" he asked. A familiar question.
"Chinese Filipino, yes." My usual answer.
"So do you speak Tagalog?" The usual followup question.
"No, I never learned." My usual followup answer.
"Ah, but you've been to the Philippines. I've seen your blog."
So THAT'S how he knew my name!
Here's a shoutout to you, Mr. Manalo, if you're reading this. And I know you've all be waiting for it so here are pics* from my trip.
*The first time people appear in the album, I put the site they're currently working on in parentheses after their name... just in case you're wondering why there are random states and countries being tossed around. | | |
