Sep. 11th, 2007 @ 12:12 am break through technology for breakups
it use to be that couples would end a relationship face to face or through a hand-written letter, but ever since technology has been introduced, we’ve come up with new ways to break up. today, my friend told me that her bf broke up with her over aim. sad, but alisa had a story that topped that one! her friend’s long-term fiance broke off the engagement through a text message.

technology has made our lives faster and more convinient. even speeding up and delivering on a cold plate.

okae, okae..i’ve done it before. i’ve broken up with one of my exs over aim (at least starting the conversation). have you used technology for a break-up? how interesting would it be if we retracted to our traditional ways of hand-written pieces and broke up with our significant other through a post-it note?

“i love you not. love, vanae”

Current Mood: spectacular
we live in a small world with big connections. be careful of what you say and to whom...because inevitably it'll loop its way around.

last month, i had wild west murder mystery birthday party, that was insanely memorable. saloon. rifle. cowboy hats. booze. feathers. murder. investigation. afterparty.

i told one of my room mates all about the craziness because he missed the party due to a business trip to beijing. in the conversation, incriminating evidence may have leaked.

today, i just found out that THAT room mate is good friends with the BF of one the after-party girls. i hope i didn't reveal her name to my room mate. and i hope he didn't piece 2 and 2 together. because:

2 + 2 = lots of trouble for that chick


---------------------

Two more things I want to share:

1) i will be moving to my new blog at www.vanae.com, which i was also have a show to answer people's questions about relationship/sex/love/life/math.

2) i think i'm in love

Current Mood: ecstatic
i gave my 2 weeks notice and i'm out of my place by next thursday. all of this as a result from my CEO trying to pull a shady move and pay me 9K less than the previous director to do the same work (not to forget, i've helped run this program for the last 1.5 years)

i declined the 'generous offer letter' in recognition of my self-worth.

so i'm going to do something i haven't done a long time. concentrate on myself by taking a 2 months break from working to go on a vacation!!

i'm seeking a job in marketing, PR, event planning so if you guys know of any great firms or corporations, tag me.

Vanae's tip of the Dae: Be good to yourself and know your self-worth.

Sep. 17th, 2006 @ 11:29 pm curtains
this talented trio of high school volunteers played a beautiful song at my senior center. it was titled 'curtains'.

it completely revealed my thoughts at this moment after reading an email from my sister, about her dream of my brother. saturday night i stayed in to recover from my cold. i asked around my apartment complex for movies to borrow. one of my neighbors told me that her son had great anime movies. i went into her apartment and knocked on the door to meet her son, arjun. he has dark hair, tall, lanky and was miserable from allergies. i did my introduction and we chatted about movies and high school. it's his freshman year in high school and he likes it. he loves dragonball Z and all these cartoons. really smart kid. i commented to him that he reminded me of trung. i went back to my room, feeling smitten that i met such a sweet kid but deeply sad from missing trung. i stood there in my empty bedroom, looking at the clothes in my closet. oh how i missed trung! thinking over and over...I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE MY BROTHER BACK. tears almost escaped my eyes. and i walked out of my dark, empty bedroom.

once in awhile, i come across a teenager that reminds me of trung. i start to really think of him and miss him. this feeling will never go away. i may never express how not having him in my life, makes me feel lacking. lacking as a sister. incomplete. but it's emotions i rarely express to anyone, just a reality that i have admitted to myself in the dark. with my busy life and growing pains, the curtains have to be pulled to let in some light.

i love my brother.
i wasn't perfect,
nor was he.
but i miss him whole-heartedly.
