Sooo we moved in this morning!...and seriously, no matter how close you're moving or how little you have to move..moving has and always will SUCK. UGH. Things have gotten pretty busy at work (hence the no blog posts in a week). Eric's been working a lot of hours and so have I..Luckily I don't have to go in till 10am or 11am some days..but staying till 10 or 11pm?!? yuck. Not to mention I don't even realize the entire day has gone by until about 9:30pm...or when I finally crawl out of my cave of an office and see that it's dark outside..it's a rough life here ;) :P Working Saturdays is actually not as bad as I thought it would be..my owner usually let's us take off around 2..or 4..or 6. Depending on how much work still needs to be done.
We went to Taco Tuesday at Tequila Jacks again..and holy crap, I don't know why I keep falling for the same happy hour tricks..but I seriously need to realize that I cannot drink during the weekday!..Wednesday sucked..obviously. Then we found out that even though we got the keys to our apartment, the Landlord had yet to receive all of the keys she had lent out to the realtors...SOOO GREAT. I talked to Sing (who used to be a realtor) and he said that's pretty normal. But we are safe to move in because if a realtor walks in wanting to show our apartment and they see our stuff, they'll walk right out....uhh what?! what is this magical place we live in where there's barely any crime?!...this is confusing and sooo relieving at the same time :) Anywho, Sing's dad came over and changed our locks for us! His dad was great, reminded me a lot of my papa..an older gentlemen, carrying around his tool bag, wearing a flannel and had paint on his jeans. I liked him immediately. :)
Even though this place is wonderful and Eric and I are so happy here, the homesickness is starting to kick in a little..mainly at night, when I'm looking through my pictures on facebook and find myself creeping on my mom, dad, brothers and best friends only..that's definitely not normal..:P Every time this happens I force myself to leave the apartment and walk around (learned that one from Kelbel)..and it helps :)
Not quite sure what we're doing this weekend? I'm trying to talk Eric into going to Disneyland or Ocean Park Sunday..and the only response I get is "Really? On a Sunday? A week before Chinese New Year?...It's gonna be packed no thanks"....So obviously I'm gonna keep pushing it.
If all else fails I guess we could go see the Buddha ;) It would be amazing to go up in the gondola! ORRR we could go to Stanley Beach..a nice day in the sun is probably something I need desperately..but who knows I don't know if we'll have enough time..:D
We do have to break in the new apartment though..seeing as it's so close to everywhere you want to be at night..I think Pete and Sing might stop by..Pete liked the idea of a balcony right over Staunton's Wine Bar :) either that or we'll have some of Eric's friends over. They told us about a beer pong bar in Wan Chai..sooo that's a MUST! We're totally gonna hustle deez fools. ;) haha. AAAAAnyways my dinner break is about through and I need to go get a new straightener..since mine blew out. AWESOME...a little part of me died when I woke up this morning with awkwardly curly hair..I felt helpless.
I'll try and post more pics and a video tonight of our place :)...don't be judgmental if it's a little messy..just ignore it. :D LOVE YOU ALL
