All I Want for Christmas is…

Posted in Events, Personal, Random on November 6, 2009 by Matthew

… my two front teeth.

Originally, I had only one item on my Christmas list. To be honest, it actually is only still one item, but two others have crawled their way onto the list. They’re not things that I really need, but rather things that would be nice to have.

  1. Electric shaver
  2. HD TV
  3. Money

I think anyone could use money, so that alone is not really an item. HD TV, well, who wouldn’t want one? Especially if one owns a 360 and PS3. However, I heard the 360 isn’t true HD. When it’s put into a larger than 42″ HD, you can see the difference. I don’t know how true it is with the newer systems, but if it’s a port for HD and only going up to 1080i instead of 1080p, then the difference definitely is noticeable on a larger TV screen.

My first item on the list and the only thing I expect to get, an electric shaver. To be completely honest, I’m actually more excited to get that than a HD TV. It is because my very first electric shaver that I’ve had for almost 9 years is in it’s final stage and I will actually get a new one. Then I started wondering how many people out there have own an electric shaver for almost 9 years.

Thought I’d share my list, what’s your list for this Christmas? Care to share?

I am No More Eligible

Posted in Events, Life, Love on September 24, 2009 by Matthew

That’s right, I’m off the market. As of September 19th, 2009, I am engaged to the lovely Miss Chelsea. No juicy details, sorry. I think down the road, we’ll do a couple’s blog, how we get to each others’ throat and annoy each other, but until then, probably nothing much to say. I’ll say this though, I asked the question at the spot we first kissed. Yea, I’m a romantic sap and I remember some of these things. Enough to get me by probably. As much as I forget, the important ones to remember are probably first date, first kiss, date of when I ask her to start going out with me, probably our engagement date, and our wedding date. Oh yea, and her birthday. I can’t foresee anything else being super duper important to remember >_< I’m not trying to say I don’t try, but I tend to forget things very very easily. I think she knows that’s how I am.

My whole ordeal with not being online just stems from not wanting to spoil the surprise. I don’t know if you’ve realized it or not, but I tend to blab on about certain things that I should not have prior to a certain time and etc.

We have not set a date and I will not write too much about any of those mushy gushy stuff here. This is almost like a public journal for all to read, but it’s most definitely about me personally and my thoughts about life and the world. So, I’ll leave it at that and there will be other blogs to read for their own purpose.

Now, back to working hard, earning money, and saving them up for the big banquet. I wonder how many people out of the invitees will show up… *starts pondering*…

2-Years Anniversary Fun

Posted in Events, Love, Relationships on August 16, 2009 by Matthew

Weekend Blurb? This weekend isn’t just a blurb. It was a fun-filled Saturday alone and even though I could say it in 2 or 3 sentences, it’s not just a weekend blurb.

Friday night, I arrived at Chelsea’s place. Noting special there, just haven’t seen her for 2 weeks and that in itself took Friday night to fill each other out from not seeing each other for a while.

Saturday morning, I decided to buy roses for her. I contemplated the time I should have left, but decided to do it later as I could get back, get the flowers in a vase, and made her late breakfast. Nope, didn’t go as planned. She woke up when I got back with the roses and a balloon in my hand. No big, I could work around this little thing. Made French Toast with her for breakfast and had breakfast with her mom.

Saturday evening, we went to Walt Disney World. Left at 4:30PM. We laid around her place until we had to leave. A little before I took the exit, she already guessed where I was taking her for dinner, Planet Hollywood. I still couldn’t surprise her (this one was a pretty easy give away to be honest), she has made the day difficult for me to surprise her. There wasn’t a wait, so we took our seat and started talking about plans after. I told her we could walk around Marketplace and go to Pleasure Island later in the evening. She was up for it and didn’t suspect anything further.

Once we were done with dinner, I told her that we should walk around a little. Since we talked about Pleasure Island (PI) earlier, she wanted to go there, but I told her I wanted to take her somewhere first. We didn’t have to go to PI then. We saw a guy playing a double-neck guitar (12-string on one neck and 6-strong on the other) and a didgeridoo (a modern one). Then took some pictures. We started walking toward Disney Quest and Virgin store (which was what it used to be). She’s not been to Disney Quest before, which I was quite surprised and I was surprised when I found out that the Virgin store is now somewhat of a museum of Prince Diana. I wasn’t sure of it, but we continued walking.

She saw Cirque du Soleil building and mentioned how her dad and step-mom got to see it twice for free because it was paid for and how it wasn’t fair, so I casually said, “Why don’t we go see if they have a showing?” As we walked closer, she saw a sign for the prices and pulled me toward it. I told her not to look at that nonsense and walk with me. She continued pulling, so I just let her hand go as she went to look at it and I went straight to the ticket booth. I have bought the tickets on-line some time last week and I was just going for the pick-up. She was surprise. Finally! I knew I would get her for that one.

Morning didn’t go as plan. Dinner was a give away. Finalé was a sure thing.

We walked around Marketplace a little because we were still an hour and a half early. Seeing her happy like that brought joy in my heart. I knew I’ve done well ^_^

Cirque du Soleil was money worth spending. The place was a little smaller than I thought, so we were 5 seats away from the stage. I was hoping it would be a little further, but was a excellent view nonetheless. I wouldn’t sit that close if I were to go again, but I would definitely go again.

We ended the night with some dessert at Sonic and a few hours in each others’ arms.

Our 2-years anniversary of going out together.

I love you sweetie!

Pizza Party and the Last Day

Posted in Events, Friends, Work on June 10, 2009 by Matthew

Today (Wednesday), my we had a pizza party as a going away. Tomorrow is my last day of work. I wonder how I will work. Will I work hard and do as much as I can, will I slack-off, or will I have a difficult time working because I won’t be in that room with the same people around me ever again?

I sure will miss those guys, especially some of those that I’ve grown to work well with and have a great working relationship with.

I hope I have made some kind of impact for the Techrangers and for my co-workers.

UP

Posted in Events, Family, Friends, Life, Relationships, Technology on June 1, 2009 by Matthew

Today I saw UP. It was good. I enjoyed it and it was cute. I will definitely recommend it ^_^ Could have so twittered this.

Had a dinner party with my sister. Saw my ex. She’s doing pretty good and she’s happy with the guy she’s with, I’m happy for her. I’m also happy because I’m very happy with the girl I’m with. My ex and I don’t talk much anymore, but she’s my sister’s friend, that’s why I saw her at my sister’s dinner party. We both went our separate ways and we’re both happy. My sister is happy too, very happy… well, maybe not today >_< lol. It was pretty funny though.

Well, 2 weeks until a new employer. I’m happy and sad. Very excited about it too. Well, UP is a good movie and you should go and see it.
