Yargh!!

One month ago, I signed up for the Amazon Prime month-long membership because I really wanted their free 2-day shipping. I read the fine print, made a google event in my calendar, and was ready to cancel it today. Lo and behold, I logged into my Amazon account one month later intending to cancel my trial membership, but I was shocked and felt pretty stupid when I realized that I set it as the wrong date!! It didn't occur to me that starting a membership on 1/4/09 would renew on 2/3/09. Pretty major FAIL. Bye bye $79 :(

Let this be a lesson to you all.

*edit* Hans' genius idea -- buy toilet paper, bottled water, all that good stuff with my free shipping. Genius I tell ya, genius!

FAIL #2 -- Apparently, up until the moment you make a purchase with Prime, you can cancel it and get your money back. I was SOO excited, but then I asked my brother (who shares Prime with me) whether or not he used it recently (aka today or yesterday). HE USED IT YESTERDAY. I don't get my money back. *insert failface*

2.1.09

It's been exactly one month since I last posted. A lot has been happening, but I don't know why I haven't written about anything lately. I feel like I'm in a funk of some sorts :( Maybe February will bring along some new inspiration to blog...

I'll leave you with a pic though. Say 'hi' to Sherry's newest stuffed animal, Bunny!! She's super duper adorable with those long ears and long arms, and here you can see her hangin' out from Catherin's shirt. Teeheehee ^_^

my tai lung tribute

I just finished watching Kung Fu Panda (for the first time), and I thoroughly enjoyed it not because of the typical reasons that other people may, be it because of the silly humor or feel-good message of "just believe in yourself", but because secretly.... I have a crush on Tai Lung, the cat gone bad. Was anyone else not completely awestruck by how he escaped from Prison?! How he unlocked himself from that immobilizing turtle shell, used the spears to cut himself free and them climb up the rock wall, avoided 1000000 arrows, sprinted up those falling rocks, and beat up an army of rhinos?!

Looks like I'm not the only fan of Tai Lung :)



Also, I must say.... Baby Tai Lung and Baby Tigress must be some of the cutest animated babies I have everrrrr laid eyes on. Kekekeke.... Imagine if Tai Lung and Tigress got together, how kick-butt their babies would be!!

gimme somethin' to dooo

Omgee. We just got home from our cruise, and now the realization that I have 18 more days with absolutely nothing planned is sinking in like crazy. It sucks that I don't really know anyone or where anything is in LA. I've already finished 1.5 books, 4 sermons, I don't have gym membership here, my brother is ditching me a few days early to go back to school, my sister already flew back to Chicago, the weather is chilly (no outdoorsy activities), I really don't need to go shopping for more stuff, and...and.. I'm just feeling really bored and a bit sad. I was stressed having too much to do, and now I'm restless with having too little to do. Fantastic.
