Strange Sex

Ever heard of "Strange Sex?" I am watching a show called, "Strange Sex." I can't believe that people would want to be in a polyandrous relationship. I would not want this. I only want to be in a monogamous relationship. I can only picture myself married to one man for the rest of my life (later, not now). I'm still too young and really don't want to be in a relationship right now.

This woman had two male partners. She claims that they do not do any kinky threesome stuff. Who knows what they do behind closed doors. She got pregnant by one of her partners and they are all raising him together. That is going to be one confused baby. Who is he going to call daddy? Is he going to call the other man "uncle or papa?" I don't know how they all can emotionally handle a relationship like that.

Another case on the show is a woman that has orgasmic births. So she has a "physical" orgasm when she gave birth to her daughter. This is just strange to me. I can imagine going from feeling intense pain to extreme pleasure. I think that only on rare occasions women experience orgasms while giving birth.

I actually really like this show.

On a different episode there is a guy that is a sex addict. He says that he feels alone while having sex. He slept with at least 3,000 people. OMG. He probably has a high chance of having an STD. I think that sleeping with 10 different people is a little too much. Don't these people care about QUALITY and NOT QUANTITY?

Almond Brownie


This is an almond topped brownie. It's so yummy. I helped my roommate Sally bake it. The almonds are a good balance to the sweetness of the chocolate. I wish that I had white chocolate and macadamia nuts so that I can put it in the brownie. Next time I will make it with white chocolate and macadamia nuts. I just love baking (it's a good stress reliever).

Shoegasm

I have been feeling really down lately. Emotionally drained. I wanted company and someone that I would be able to talk to. I made plans with my friend Cecilia to meet up on Friday after work. I was so looking forward to talking to a friend that I haven't seen in a month. Something you should know about Cecilia is that she is a foodie like me. We love food. We like go to new places to eat too. So after work we met up and went to Philz Coffee. It just opened down on Shattuck (north side). There coffee is pretty amazing and word on the street is that in the morning they have really good pastries. (I will have to try there pastry sometime next week). I had the philtered soul coffee and coconut macaroon. The coffee was good, but I prefer my coffee to be really sweet. Next time, I'll tell them to add more sugar. However, the coffee balance out the sweetness of the coconut macaroon. Cecilia and I didn't even feel the earthquake that hit SF.

After coffee (which was like two hours) we decided to do a little shopping. I did not think that I would buy anything. When I went into the store, I went straight to the shoes. OMG! I was having a shoegasm. I felt like I died and gone to heaven. I first picked up a pair of Enzo Angolini leathered flats. Then I saw Steve Madden's black patent leather heels and had to have them. They look really sexy on. My favorite pair that I bought was the Bandolino violet suede wedges.

Afterward we went to a book store and I bought a leather bound, gold-trimmed book that contains five novels from Charlotte and Emily Bronte. This is so bad. Whenever I am with Cecilia, I spend money.

Cecilia and I decided to go to Ippuku for drinks before getting dinner. I got a Suntory beer while she got an amami soju. The beer was good. Next time I think I will try the 18 year old Suntory wiskey. The waiter said that it is very good. We had dinner at Cheeseboard. They had a peach pizza that day so the line was pretty long. I was expecting the pizza to have huge chunks of peaches all over it. The pizza actually had very thin layers of peaches underneath the cheese. It was more of a savory pizza. It was not sweet at all, but a little bit salty due to the cheese. The pizza was different. I'm glad I tried it.

At the end of the day the shopping and company of a friend did made me happy, but only in that "Moment." I realized that I was still sad and in this "dark mood." Buying things do not really make people happy. It just gives them a high and when that high is over, they buy more things to be able to experience that high again. I love my NEW SHOES, but I guess I just feel disappoint with people in general. A girl can never have too many shoes. =]

Here are some pictures of my new shoes. Enjoy.
The first photos are of the Bandolino wedges.

Mind Blowing

Last Friday, I went to the theaters with my sister Jenny and cousins Bich and Rosemary. We watched Inception. Inception is an American science fiction-action film (set within the architecture of the mind) written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, and Cillian Murphy. The film is inspired by the experience of lucid dreaming. The film centers on Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), an "extractor", who enters the dreams of others to obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible. His abilities have cost him his family and his nationality, but a chance at redemption and regaining his old life is promised when Cobb and his team of specialists are hired to plant an idea in a target's (Cillian Murphy) subconscious. This process of planting of an idea, known as "inception", is less familiar and far more difficult than Cobb's usual job of "extraction". This is the first movie in a long time that I am actually really excited to watch. I really liked the movie.

"What's the most resilient parasite? An idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. Which is why I have to steal it." This is sort of scary. Imagining that your ideas, thoughts can be stolen while you are sleeping.

The action and special effects were amazing. The shifting “gravity” fighting scenes were so well shot and well done. The way the actors walked across walls and and flew in awkward ways looked so seamless. I thought the hotel scenes basically outclassed the awesome shooting done in the snow fortress scenes. Overall I think that the cinematography is very beautiful and thought out.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt-I think I'm in love (I would so marry him in a heart beat)! He is so gorgeous and handsome. I just love the way he dressed in the film. I wish more guys these days would dress as well as Levitt's character Arthur. I especially love the scene where the dreamer’s subconscious is getting suspicious, so Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) tells the Architect (Ellen Page) to kiss him. Arthur: “It was worth a try.”

Cillian Murphy is pretty hot too. He has such amazing blue eyes. They are so piercing. My sister Jenny prefers Cillian Murphy to Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I remember telling her in the theater that he is so handsome and she had the "Ew, what are you thinking?" look on her face.

I drool just looking at Tom Hardy (just kidding). Inception had a really good cast of handsome actors. Leonardo DiCapro always pick really good roles to play.

I like how Inception left a cliffhanging at the end of the film. At the end of the film, the first scene in which Cobb is washed ashore is repeated. Saito is revealed to be the old man, aged due to the exponential nature of time in successively deeper dreams and has lived an entire life not knowing that he was dreaming. Saito remembers Cobb and reaches for the handgun as the top is still shown ceaselessly spinning. Cobb awakens on the plane to find everyone well, including Saito, who honors his agreement. He places a call and Cobb successfully clears immigration and customs into the USA as the rest of the team go their separate ways. He finally returns home and spins his totem spinning top on the table, but is distracted by his children playing outside. The top keeps spinning and starts to wobble slightly as the film ends, leaving the question of whether Cobb is still dreaming unresolved. So the audience can interpret the ending however they want.

I think that Cobb is still dreaming and that he is still in limbo. Because his children is wearing the same clothing in all of the dreams and in that last seen too. Also the top never stops spinning.

Happy Girls are the Prettiest Girls

These are some of my favorite quotes from Audrey Hepburn that I try to incorporate into my everyday life.

"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person." (laughter is the best medicine in the whole world)

"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it." (this is so true, I have a lot of love to give)

"If I get married, I want to be very married." (I only want to get marry once in my lifetime. I don't see myself getting a divorce)

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others."
(I do not like to use profanity. I only use profanity when I am really angry)

This quote is my absolute favorite quote of all time.

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

-Pink is my favorite color even though I don't wear a lot of pink. Kissing works the muscles in your face-making you look younger. I try to laugh everyday even when things are not going my way. I totally agree that happy girls are the prettiest girls =)
