Confessions of a HALO Fan 9/19/10

Well, the last couple of days I’ve spent going to or calling the same shops every day. Hoping for that special edition XBOX 360 to come in, no luck so far  The employees from the same shops say the same things, lady don’t expect to get that XBOX, it’s very rare and sought after by many. Of course I could order it online from Amazon. But here is the thing - it seems like mailmen in this country are on strike  I’m right now waiting for 3 items I ordered through several webshops weeks ago. While it pisses me off that I don’t have these items yet, I’d rather not have a rare special edition XBOX 360 getting “lost” in the mail  Plus I have to keep in mind that I will be jobless again as of the first of October, last year around the same time I was jobless and couldn’t afford to be. Four hundred dollars seemed like a fortune then. I’m not saying that it isn’t a lot of money now. But it would be a small chunk from my savings account.  Plus there are two ships with money on its way, so it’s tempting to spend the money anyway Then again if I stay jobless long enough 400 dollars would become a fortune again

Instead of keeping after this special edition XBOX 360 I decided to buy a new tele. Yups, it’s true, this is:

I’m such a talented GIMP artist, ain’t I My new tele is 20”, yeah I know it is small but unlike you guys I don’t have dick so there is no need for me to try impress people with the inches I have Often when I hear men discuss the inches of their tele’s I can’t help but wonder what it is they wish they were talking about  My tele has a dead pixel but I’m to lazy to return it, I sit too far away to notice and in time I will become blind to it. And again, I don’t have a dick and therefore I do not jerk off to photoshop perfect pictures of women (eeew a stretchmark, eeew cellulite) so I can live with that imperfection.   Don’t worry guys, I still love you

The game I’m currently playing is HALO ODST, I never played it before. And this my friends is why I stayed away from HALO and all that comes with it (forums, other blogs etc. etc.) I was scared that I would read or see spoilers Not to worry, Rampancy is on her way back

I went to the shops today

And there was no HALO Reach XBOX 360 to be found So instead I bought the HALO Reach Limited edition  My disappointment was so clear to the  dude behind the counter gave me HALO Legends and a HALO Reach Calendar  I was so happy with these that  he said that I could have as  many copies as I wanted of both items, people who recognise a true fan are

Still, I declined – how can the HALO love spread if I keep it all for myself?

Here are some piccies of the latest edition to my HALO collection:

The special edition XBOX will come in later this week, according to the dude behind the counter. Thank you God, for letting that unexpected ship with money sail in on the same day HALO Reach came out That is clearly a sign that I must get back to HALO, I’ve been away from it for too long!

Confessions of a HALO Fan 9/12/10

Just when I decided to start BLOGGING agian, the person whom’s internet I have been steeling got disconnected from internet. The reason? I think this time around
the bill was a rather unpleasant suprise too put it mildy. About 7 (another se7en) weeks ago I bought 640 GB external drive and ever since I’ve been downloading and uploading like crazy. I’m stealing this person his internet because, he has the fastest connection. His provider offers cheap and fast internet, but that cheap comes of course with a price. I suspect

the price is a rather low FUP i.e. you are not supposed to download as much. Anyway it took him two or three () weeks to collect the money and pay his internet bill. Why I haven’t
hacked someone else his wireless? Somewhere in June I had to reinstall Ubuntu AGAIN and getting air crack to work is not that easy as it seems. Right now I cannot hack someone
else his internet. Some 1337 h4x0r I am huh?

You readers, I love you You literally have flooded by mailbox, who had have thought that someone would read this crap! No, I have not forgotten about HALO, I never will. I think I’ve written
it earlier but this fall/winter three ships with money will sail in. One off these ships wasn’t expected at all, the day I got the news that it will sail in was the same that Microsoft announced that they
would bring out a HALO Reach XBOX 360. And guess what, that ship will sail in one day before the release of this particular XBOX. And of course I’m getting that XBOX, signs like these should never be
ignored!

I want this so bad !!!

Helping him off the road

Straight into the gutter

He is 55 years old, married with 2 kids and is a colleague of mine. Everyone, but almost everyone who meets him says that he looks extremely good for his age. Just to quote a dude at work “When my father became 55 he almost fell apart, I hope I end up looking as good as you do”. This 55 year old happens to like asian girls, his wife to whom he is married for over 30 years is asian. Last month he went on a holiday with the wife and kids to an Asian country. He met a cute 29 year old asian woman. At work he discusses openly with everyone about how he met her, what they did on the beach while his wife was asleep and his kids were clubbing. (I work in an environment where women are considered commodities and being judged by their looks and behaviour as described here is often encouraged I might post about this another time). So where do I come in? I help him I’ve taught him all about facebook, gmail etc. I even brought Baby Dell to work so he could Skype with his newest hottie during lunch. The brilliant thing was, his wife called during that specific lunch asking for him. Why I’m doing what I’m doing? One word: revenge. While being friendly and helpful, I’m already thinking about what to do with the saved conversation between him and his hottie on my mini netbook. You know this must be the only time I wish I had an Apple right now I see the logo as the fruit that Eve gave to Adam, after taking a bite and telling Adam to ahead and take a bite too. Aaah, how 2.0 would it be to hand over my Apple to him, convincing him that he should go ahead because nothing bad will happen. The seduction that leads to destruction

Why I’m doing what I’m doing? He found it very funny when a colleague who was transferred to another department decided to sexually harass me during his farewell dinner

Confessions of a HALO Fan 8/22/10

Guess who’s back? Yeah who else. I have been away… from this BLOG. Not from the life I’m living (unfortunately). So what happened? Well it just became too much, way too much, that is basically all I have to say about it. When I moved to this city, I knew life wouldn’t be easy. I moved to a city where I didn’t know anyone and the people in my network don’t operate here either (they operate to the north and I moved to the ‘south’). Taking this economy into consideration and being able to check every box of what kind of people risk long term joblessness (female, first generation immigrant, under 45, well-educated and working as a contractor) I knew was taking a huge risk. But moving to this place was all I could afford a year ago. I didn’t move into a village, ooh no I would die if I did so. Thank God, I moved somewhere where the trains thunder by 24 hours a day, it has an airport and I believe one of the biggest harbours. So I knew there would be work but would I get it? So what happened? As said before it became too much, as you know I’m on my own — there is no comfort couch (read: parents) where I can run to when it becomes too much. Life was so stressful at one point, all I could do was focus on one thing WORK. The moment I don’t have a job, is the moment I’m lost. So I have to get up and work, no matter what.

The period from April to the end of June was so stressful that my health started to deteriorate, I had a constant cold and I was freezing. On the days when people would go out to hang around in the sun, I was lying in bed with chattering teeth because it was so goddamn cold. I was doing so bad that even my Schutzstaffel-like dance instructor refunded my money and told me to come after I’ve dealt with whatever it  was that was  killing me. She didn’t send me away empty-handed though, she gave me some walking Pilates DVD’s and told me to watch them until I could do them in my sleep, before using them six days a week. She also told me I’m way too advanced for these programmes but still I should stick to it.

The month of July and almost all of August was spent recovering (yes I still worked during my recovery period). What’s really helping is the knowledge that in the fall three ships with a lot of  money will sail in. Unfortunately, my project will end on the first of October. If there is one thing I’ve learned from this economy it’s that being jobless is murder on your bank account. Imagine having to move, and become jobless in the same year…

Friends know I have a tendency to go undercover when things get bad for me and they know that they should leave me be, and they know I will be back. You my dear readers don’t know this and I sincerely apologise for this, I’m really sorry. I felt bad when I read the e-mails some people sent me. The thing is, I don’t really notice when I am in a situation like this until after, I am focused on only one thing (WORK). Which explains why I never posted any thing or answered any mail.

Well to end this post with a real confession (it is after all Sunday), I liked that walking Pilates nonsense so much, today I ordered the follow-up DVD’s (Walking for your heart). Doing these exercises has some kind of yoga-like effect on me. Because the exercises are so damn easy, I can do them in one flow. And I have done them since the 15th of July six days a week. No, I am not going to do yoga, yoga pisses me off! I hate the people who do yoga, they always assume that I am into it because I’m Asian. You know what pisses me off more? When they go to a third world country for a yoga training… Talking about that country like the whole goddamn nation does yoga. While in fact the majority of them can’t read or write, under age prostitution is normal, people are begging in the streets etc. etc. You know what also pisses me off about those retards that go there? When they come back, they say “Ooh the people are so nice there” Like duh!!! Of course they are! They see a rich white person, they know you are going to bring money!

You know I’m doing well when I get pissed off.

To end the post with a final thought, it’s my birthday today!
