fun people

My sister is relaying to me a story of one of our high school friends who decided to do The Robot during iRobot (she met up with high school friends during a reunion).

tania says:
so he picked up his gf and her friends
tania says:
and they said, wouldn't it be funny if someone did the robot during i-robot
tania says:
and his gf apparently told him not to do it
tania says:
and in the movie theatre, he decided to do it, but he wasn't sitting in the aisle seat
tania says:
his gf was sitting in the aisle seat
tania says:
so he said he had to get up and go to the bathroom
tania says:
and she said that she didn't believe him because he never goes to the bathroom during the movie
tania says:
and he said he really had to go
tania says:
and she said "swear to me you have to go"
tania says:
and he swore he did
tania says:
and she said "sweat to me on our relationship that you have to go"
elaine-> says:
haha
tania says:
and he did
tania says:
so she let him out
tania says:
and he ran to the front of the movie screen and started busting out all his moves
elaine-> says:
during which part of the movie?
tania says:
don't know
elaine-> says:
so it as in the middle fo the movie?
tania says:
yeah
elaine-> says:
i wonder for how long he did that for?
tania says:
in the middle of the movie
tania says:
so some guy was really into the movie and mad at [high school friehd]
tania says:
for distracting him
elaine-> says:
but were otehr people laughing?
tania says:
so he threw his large coke drink at him
tania says:
but he missed [high school friend] and it splattered over the screen
elaine-> says:
hahaha
tania says:
so the ushers came and pulled the man and [high school friend] out
tania says:
and to pacify the man, gave him extra movie tickets
tania says:
but the man was still angry at [high school friend] and wanted to beat him up
tania says:
and threatened to beat him up in the parking lot
tania says:
to the ushers had to make sure that man drove away before they would let [high school friend] leave
tania says:
so after the man left, you would think [high school friend] could leave
elaine-> says:
were other people in the theatre angry as well?
elaine-> says:
besides [high school friend]'s gf
tania says:
some people were laughing
tania says:
since [high school friend]drove, he had to get his gf and her friends out of theatre
elaine-> says:
i bet the ushers were laughing
tania says:
I would have been laughing
elaine-> says:
same
elaine-> says:
especially the way he dances
elaine-> says:
cuz it's not normal dancing
tania says:
so when he was driving his gf and her friends home, she wouldn't speak to him
tania says:
there was silence
tania says:
after he dropped off his gf's friends
tania says:
and it was only the two of them in the car, he turned to her
tania says:
and asked her in his bass, mario voice, "baby, what's wrong?"
elaine-> says:
wrong move
tania says:
so he's not sure if they broke up on the drive home or the next day
tania says:
since she didn't speak to him

pencil skirt part 2

My jeans were in the laundry so I resorted to wear business clothes to work. I wore a high waisted pencil skirt with a dress shirt tucked int the skirt (definitely less comfy than a threadless tee paired with jeans). Everyone kept on asked me why I was dressed so nicely. I suspect they thought I went for an interview since I didn't show up at work until 1 pm - I was actually working from home. I had to explain that my jeans were in the laundry. My coworker responds with "your jeans should be in the laundry more often" and he basically said I looked really nice.

I go back to my office. Then I have to go back to the front office and the male coworker says to me "I wasn't trying to hit on you because I know you are taken....I was just being sincere." - sidenote: I know that he wasn't hitting on me because he has a girlfriend, he dates blondes, and he told me that his brother in law wants to interview Dennis when he moves to Toronto.

Anyway, I relayed the conversation to Dennis and he was like, "What's a pencil skirt". I sent him some google images.

Dennis: Too sexy. Not work appropriate. You should wear this.

How typical.

Past week recap

My recap starts with last Sunday. As usual, Bonnie opens up her house and as predicted, people came away with food to feed them for three lunches. It was a lot of fun to catch up with people and my group had very good sharing about car accidents and close calls on the road.
On Tuesday, Sam discovered that I was working late so we decided to grab some dinner at St Louis where we had an interesting conversation that ranged from pensions to church related stuff. As we were walking out the door, this guy says to me "Jesus loves you." I'm thinking to myself that you only hear that if someone is trying to comfort you OR if the guy likes to say it to random people OR he may have overheard our conversation and it's his codeword for saying "I go to church too!" I will never know.

Wednesday, I was lucky enough to go to prayer meeting. I got off work "early" so instead of going home to get my gym clothes, I went straight to church. I knew that if I went home, I risked a chance of not leaving my house again that night.

Thursday, we went shopping for gift bags for men - we went to Dollarama and bought 6 heavy duty cans of shaving cream which could easily be mistaken for industrial washrooom cleaner. Th company definitely did not spend money on pretty product packaging. Walmart provided some interesting fun as we tried on some hats and I had my heart set on a fargo hat. Unfortunately I have a small head.

Friday, I went out to Milestones to celebrate Emily's birthday. YAY!

Saturday, I met up with Amanda and I took her to the church, showed her my wedding dress, and then took her to our Christmas Banquet. Oh yeah, we had a late Indian buffet lunch.

Amanda is such a good sport. She was the one who asked to pose like this.

Things that guys don't want to know and shouldn't read

THIS IS AN EXPLICIT POST - you've been warned - if you're a guy.

THIS IS AN INFORMATIVE POST - if you're a girl.

So I get this email from sister regarding her visit to the doctor (I'm bad, I haven't visited a doctor since I've moved out here) and she sent me an email on tidbits that she learned. Thanks for the advance research! I couldn't help but laugh when I read the email. She was too embarrased to IM me about it.

- It takes a few months for your body to adjust to birth control pills so you need to start them at least a few months before you get married
- Start using tampons now because you probably want a pap smear before you get married (you should get them once a year) and also ... so your wedding night isn't traumatic in terms of pain. My doctor recommended KY gel with the plastic applicator for a tampon.

Personally, I'm not going to go on The Pill. The funny thing was that I had a conversation similar to this with some girls in my fellowship a couple of weeks ago. So of course I started asking my sister about the pap smear.

For the pap smear, it's approximately the same size as a guy's private part. Using tampons regularly (when you have your period) will make your vaginal wall used to it so that when you do have a pap smear, it won't hurt. My doctor said to use the medium sized tampon [to be] ready to have a pap smear that won't hurt much. I assume the same advice would also apply to the first time you have sex.

So some of you might be wondering why I'm putting this on my blog. Not only did I find it funny, but I think it is very informative - especially for Christian girls who might not discuss this stuff amongst ourselves.

My blog is going to be censored at the workplace.

Seattle trip - American Thanksgiving

I was totally rushing to get to the airport but I made it on time and I was whisked to the front of the check in line. Yay!

on my way to seattle, I watched Tropic Thunder (very funny), Get Smart (funny), and half of The X-Files (not so good).

I got to dennis' place and we played Little Big Planet which is super amounts of fun because you get to slap people around and you get to play on levels created by other players around the world.

Then I felt sick. Oh yes, the bathroom kind of sick. I discovered that I got sick from the overpriced $6 sandwich (I think it had beef, red peppers, cheese) that I bought on my Air Canada flight.

I slept well at Tania's (she believes in investing money into a good bed - it's comfier than my own). Thursday, Dennis picked me up and we went to his place and played Singstar, Guitar Hero, and Karaoke Revolution. Then we went to Michelle's for Thanksgiving dinner where we debated over which movie to watch (Cuthroat Island vs Waterworld vs Trains Planes and Automobiles - the WINNER vs Tropic Thunder). We also played some more Little Big Planet and ate a lot of food. This is dennis on some weird device that makes the blood rush to your head. We also looked through black friday flyers but I didn't see anything worthy enough to make me get up at 5 am. Friday, I slept in and then we went to to costco for a true american junk food lunch - everything's so massive, i don't know if it was because it was costco, or if it was because we are in america. We went to circuit city and then we went to half price books. WE rushed to go meet Michelle and Eric for Australia but we ended up in the 2nd or third front row of the theatre. It was a good movie but I wish I saw Hugh Jackman's bare chest from some other perspective than the bottom right hand corner of the screen. We basically did a movie marathon and we watched Casino Royale (Dennis and Michelle fell asleep and didn't understand the plot), and Twilight which surprisingly Dennis and Eric liked the movie. After the movie, we went out for overpriced fatty appetizers. I got carded. yay!

The next day, Dennis, Eric, Michelle and I piled into the Eric's Ford car to go for a self guided Twilight tour. Yes, Eric is Chinese and he drives a Ford. The funny thing is that his girlfriend Michelle is also chinese and she drives a pick up truck. They are american. What else can I say.

We found Cannon Beach which was used in Kindergarten Cop, The Goonies and Indian Beach which was used in Point Break and Twilight scene where the teenagers go to LaPush and Jacob reveals to Bella the story about the wolves and the "cold ones".

Afterwards, we treked over to Portland and had a breakfast type dinner at The Hot Cake House while playing a rousing game of Whoonu. We went through the whole deck where Dennis discovered that I like tattoos and fuzzy slippers but that I dislike flip flops. Who knew?!

On the way home, we played a game where we had guess which movie actor/actress would play us in a movie. They all said that Tina Fey should play Tania. Eric said he would have Enrique Iglesias pre-mole-removal play himself. We said that Angelina Jolie should play Michelle (she has full lips). She explained that when she did the My Heritage sight (it tells you which celebrities you resemble) her results were all black men. Dennis said he would cast Mila Kunis to play me because no one else speaks with the voice of a 12 year old. Dennis wanted John Cho (the default asian actor) or Hugh Jackman to play him - he was clearly inspired by the bare chested Hugh Jackman Australia scene.

I had a layover in Calgary and I bumped into Pastor Teo with his wife who were on the same flight as me. It was brutal finding my car in the airport parking and having to scrap some of the ice off but at least it wasn't fused to my windshield.

congrats dad

So my dad can finally say that his wildest achievement is to have a video on youtube, which until last year, he called facebook, youtube.

My only questions is: "how did you get so much hair at 0:30 into the video?" Is that the magic of movie making - that is, did production add that into the picture?
