I went out with this guy briefly who used to say "Oh no!" whenever something goes wrong. It was endearing in the beginning because his "Oh no!" had genuine fear and worry in the tone. Then it got to be annonying. Yes, I know we are late for the movie, but do you have to make it so stressful?
Still, when I am having a bad moment now, I just say to myself that I am having a "Oh no!" moment. Which is today.
I always know when someone is not the right person any more. It can be sad b/c sometimes the other person never see it coming.
We had so much potential. We are about to spend 12 hours on a road trip tomorrow. Oh well, I am going as a platonic friend. It's fine. I don't think he can tell the difference.
I was so sad last night (sadness preceeds "Oh no!" moments). Sometimes I wish I was not intuitive and don't have to go through guys like tissues. Well, this is who I am, and I am better for it. I always know when it was time to move on.

trade offs
The best thing about dating is that casual stage where you are just happy to see the other person. Little expectation is a great thing. The tough thing about dating is how to keep it at that casual stage indefinitely.
In a culture that is always rushing to the end result and plenty of people wanting to walk down the isle, it's hard to find that person who is fine with just dating.
Now that I finally found someone who is just right, I am rushing ahead of myself. It's so silly to want to change things when the best part is to enjoy the moment. I love how I am changing as a result of dating this person. It's bliss, but I was on the verge of ruining it. Luckily, in talking to girlfriends (including my mom) who can see that I am happier, it's silly to want to change.
Change is inevitable. Fate is inevitable. I will just let it all happen naturally.

just like that!
I finally got over my issues with work. Almost overnight, I came to terms with work. It started with an e-mail from M, a very driven girlfriend. She reminded me to tune out the politics and just learn from the experience.
Then, the light bulb went off. I had been sucked in to the petty politics at work. Everyone there has their own agenda, but I don't have to agree or disagree. I am there to learn! Perfect timing, because I was just recruited for a new PR project. My assignment: to interface with the Asian community around our project and drum up support. No kidding, the PR consultant suggested that I hang out at bus stops. Of course, this is the Asian community - heading to the Chinese restaurants and the library first!
Worked until 830 tonight, and I have lots of Saturdays and late nights ahead. Excited because I know that this is also why I have been single all this time. I am finally ready to give my career all I've got!

HTGTG
Been following the show - How To Get the Guy. It's a good show in that it confirms so many of my own beliefs, including that you don't have to do too much to find a significant other. When you are ready, whoever that is ready too will be the one. It's all fate!
The show is very entertaining in that it showcases SF beautifully. Even though I enjoy being single, I do miss sharing a great city with that special someone.
Good thing for single friends. Last Sunday, went Rollerblading along the Embarcadero with a couple of guy friends. After, two more friends joined us for bunch. It was lovely. My first time. The skating was so much better along the waterfront than at the Park! Who knew? The key is numbers. I must have invited 15 people, and 5 is a great turnout! Next up, more brunch. Are you in?
