Listmania May 31, 2011
Thoughts of the day: It is really hard to make others like/love me more, even just a little more. However, I can always love myself more.
LOL of the day: JB complained about the use of his initials (for good reasons, but I am going to keep it that way).
WCS figures that I learned today: knee pops and funky knees.
The songs that I like at the moment:
Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera
Hold It against Me by Britney Spears

Sleepless night: Pon and Zi are always good for such nights.
The LOL of today: I told people that I would go to the concert on the west lawn of the capitol and then realized that the concert had taken place yesterday.
Disappointment of today: Maryland lost to Virginia in NCAA lax final. Thank you, JB, for keeping me posted with the scores over gchat.
Accomplishment of today: we (the guys actually) managed to move the big sofa into CF's new tiny studio room.
Restaurant that I dined in today: Hamburger Hamlet
Their California market salad was great as usual. My mom and I also endowed ourselves with the Ultimate cake for 2. YUMMY!

Sequel to the ice-cream analogy
Things happen, don't they? And fast. Before I could finish my thoughts about the analogy between the olive oil ice-cream and relationship, I have already had something more to write as a "sequel" to it.
I mentioned that I needed to make up my mind and dealt with it "the way I want". I guess that "the way I want" has changed due to what just happened very recently. I decide to bend a ear for listening, give hugs for warmth, and offer shoulder for you to cry on if needed. As you walk forward and move on with your life, I will let go. Don't bother turning around, because I will still stay where I am so that you can find me when you need. I won't leave until you can walk forward far enough that you don't need to/can't see me anymore. Then it will be time for me to take a bow and retreat from your life as if I have never been there.
If you are merely a "habit", why am I feeling, um, sad?

Restaurants I dined in today: Wong Gee, American Tap Room, and Jaleo. (A lot, I know.)
New movie I watched today: Midnight in Paris. JB and I planned to watch the 8:00PM show, but the seats were sold out at 8:00PM and 8:45PM, so we ended up watching the 9:30PM show. I absolutely love the casting. Owen Wilson did a good job, so did Rachel McAdams though her part is really a tiny proportion of the movie. I don't like the ending though. (He DID escape from where he used to be. Not to the 1920s, but to Paris. Yeah, right. That doesn't count?!)
The movie I want to watch again: A Room with a View.
The song I am in love with: Let's do it (Let's fall in love)
Daily highlight:
A walk from Bethesda downtown to north Bethesda around mid-night. The weather was SO awesome and I was under alcohol (lightly).
I decided to make a list of things that I wanted to do.
Helado de aceite de oliva con cítricos texturados (Olive oil ice cream with grapefruit) from Jaleo
Yes, I could definitely taste the olive oil. No, I don't think that I will order it again.
I actually had some interesting thoughts when I ate it. I will try to put those thoughts in words in the next post.

Things that I enjoyed today: DANCE!!!!
Daily discovery: I have made the correct decision! Yeah, I was so damn right!!!!
Daily frustration:
1) I just realized that others have much more fancier dreams than I do. I am totally incapable of having such dreams and it seems that I have missed lots of fun. My friend JB even started to train himself for having lucid dreams, which will enable him to control what he dreams. Sweet!
2) Apparently I turn by my shoulders when I dance, not by my lower body. Need to fix it.
The song that I am loving: Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's
Food that I enjoyed today: French toast at Pluto's diner
Word/expression that I learned today: meek

Something that I am sure of: the rapture didn't happen.
A list I started to work on today: my favorite non-classic Viennese waltz music (unfinished)
My discovery of great dance vid today: Viennese Waltz by Professional Dancers in Blackpool at Strictly Come Dancing 2009
Restaurant visited for lunch today: Yuraku
Movie I watched today: Gnomeo and Juliet. I think that it is a very cute movie, so am wondering why it got poor rating.
Movie I wanted to re-watch today: (of course) Shakespeare in Love. I didn't re-watch it because I still consider it too cheesy.
Word I learned today: commando

Listmania?
Wow, long time no blogging. Should I start with "dear blog"? I decided to create a list of things from everyday life as a brief record and/or reminder, so I will start from today. :]
My appreciation: internet and social network/gadget
A friend in Japan just went through a 4.0-level earthquake. I got to know that she's safe in an hour through FB and talked to her over gchat in another two hours.
My wish: Dear fish, please breed~~~
My congratulations: To my good friend XW and her fiance for expecting their first baby in six months; to my future PI for a new member to his family: a baby girl.
My funny eavesdrop: In junior/miss dress section in T. J. Maxx, a lady said to her teenage daughter as they were picking dresses for the daughter," No, honey. Try to find something pretty that covers your body and makes you look like a 13-year-old."
Food I am craving for: sushi buffet from Yuraku
Food I want to cook: Butter-less apple crumble
Word I learned: twang
