What, I need to stop cursing?! Wha?

Ok, so I've realized that I use the word 'fuckin' waaaaaaaaaaay too often and it tumbles out of  my mouth so easily, it's a little disturbing.  What I find is that I use it even in a work capacity -- team meetings and regroups -- where really, I should be the epitome of professional.  Part of the problem is that I don't think that I even realize that it's coming out of my mouth until after it's already out there in the world.  Bah, it's so frustrating, so I'm putting it out there: how do I get myself to stop using the F word as part of my vocabulary?  Any tips or tricks?

I do remember being one of the first people to start cussing (oh, you know that's how we call in down south) waaay back in the day.  I actually said $#&T during recess when I was like in 4th grade. How shady is that? I have no clue how I even learned what it meant or why, but the badass 9 year old in me said, hey why not.  Yikes, guess it started a trend, from way back when. Now, I gotta make it stop! Gah!

Scenes from the past 2 weeks. BOOM!

Since I was delinquent in my blogging, I missed out on posting pics and updates from the past couple of weeks including my vacay in DC to visit my friend Jen , going to see the Jays vs. Yankees and a surprise bachelorette party for my friend Haley.  Instead of doing a separate (and very late) post about each of those things, I thought I'd just post some pics from each of those events so you could get a sneak peek of the overall funtimes that were had.  It would only make you feel jealous, and that would be rude!

When I went to visit Jen in DC, there were only a few things on our agenda: Newseum, Navy football game, shopping & eating.  We accomplished all of those things VERY well.  Take a look:

Cynthia and Noor also decided we should see a Jays game before the end of the season.  Luckily, it was a game against a really good team - the Yankees - so we got to see Derek Jeter and ARod play, however it was Brett Lawrie that I was super excited to see. Swoon!  Here are some pics:

AND finally, Haley is getting married in Hawaii later this month so we decided to celebrate with a pre-party at Chantelle's house complete with penis decos!  Of course, I brought the party favours like glow in the dark bracelets, candy necklaces, tiaras and crazy glasses.  We went to dinner to catch up with KDiddy who was in town from London and then hit the streets of Nuit Blanche with the bachelorette party.  We did a shot crawl at a few bars along King and Queen Streets.  Overall, super fun times!

Phew. Tons of activities -- you can see why I was so delinquent. Lol, hope you enjoyed my shenanigans!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Wow, it's been a few weeks since I've had a chance to post. Shame shame.  However, in my defense it has been insanely busy, but today I was able to celebrate Thanksgiving Canadian styles with my family in Mississauga.  My grandfather from Atlanta is in town, so we all piled into my aunt's house and got our turkey on!

You will notice in the pics that shrimp and rice also became part of the meal along with the turkey and fixings -- you know you're Filipino when... lol.

Thanksgiving meals are my fave -- absolutely love spending time with fam and chomping on potatoes, stuffing, green beans and more.  #Nomnomnom

No matter how you celebrate your Canadian Thanksgiving, I hope it is with the folks you love and with a delicious meal to warm your bellies!  :)
