Its Starting to Look a Bit Like Fall

Fall fall fall. My favorite season of all.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before. How could anyone not like fall? The leaves change to these wonderful colors. The weather is just right with the sun shining but not burning. Its the perfect temperature to cuddle. And although I drink coffee and tea regardless of the season, something about fall makes these hot beverages extra wonderful. Besides food and drinks, there's the fashion to admire. Fall jackets, wool coats, parkas... they're my absolute favorite article of clothing. Next to the boots whether ankle or knee high.

The ultimate best part of fall of course? SEASON PREMIERS!!! I just badly need to know which Stark would be dying next. Or if Jo and Alex would be the only happy ending from last season's Grey's. In fact, I'm still trying to figure out how the women from Walking Dead are surviving without tampons and pads... and if they are extra vulnerable during their time of the month? Its also been so long since I've last seen my TV hubby Jensen Ackles, better known as Dean Winchester. Will they be revealing a new clone to join Orphan Black's clone club... although I really am liking the change in dynamics by adding the ditzy one.

Oh fall. I do hope you come sooner and stay longer.

Frankly. I'm done with wearing shorts and flip flops. And if I may be an honest woman... lemme just say shaving every damn day just to go out, even if its just grocery shopping, truly sucks. Especially when you now got a niece who's old enough to complain about "pokey" legs.

Happy Almost Valentines

Aside from working 2 shifts back to back, I had a pretty dang awesome Valentines. And yes, its coz CD was there.

They were handing out Valentines cards to all team members at work and he so happens to hold mine. He said my name, smiled and gave me the card. Of course I know the card isn't really from him and it wasn't unique (in a sense that everybody else got one too) but it still made me happy. I joked right away that if this was a red envelope for Chinese New Years, the money part is missing. And that just made him smile all the more which made me smile in turn.

The next day, some of us decided to meet up for a mini-get together. I think I'm most glad that its like we were hanging out the way things were before the drama. We could joke around again. We talked about where everyone is heading after leaving the company. He still wouldn't tell anyone where he'll be working but he kept saying he is leaving soon. That pretty much made me really sad. I would definitely love to have one last grand hang out with him. But luckily the group herder (the older brother / almost uncle of the group) loves to organize get-togethers and everyone pretty much agreed to meeting up at least once a month to catch up with each other's lives.

As we're all heading home, him and another co-worker got a ride from me. I parked 4-5 blocks away from the cafe we were at and it got cold that night. As we were walking he noticed that I was shivering and offered his jacket. Of course I turned it down coz I know he was just wearing short sleeves underneath whereas I had one layer of long sleeves at least. We walked a bit more and he said (not asked but said) "if we're still far away from your car, I'm giving you my jacket".

KABOOM! Yes, my brain just exploded. This is like the scene most girls think of when there's a budding romance story involved. Of course, it wasn't as romantic coz someone else was with us and my car was already there. But nonetheless I enjoyed the car ride with him. As usual though he didn't wanna get dropped off at his home. He said he wanted to walk anyway so we drove to my house instead. Guess it sorta worked out coz when I parked my car in the garage, he stayed back a bit to try and help me fix my bluetooth/FM transmitter, which now I know is hopelessly broken.

Now, I'm pretty curious why he doesn't like getting dropped off at his house. Coz it definitely wouldn't be out of the way. Or is that his way of making sure I got home safely. Well whatever the case, I'm glad how today and yesterday turned out.

Ooohhhh, I also found out that we both want to watch exactly the same 2 movies that are showing right now. That probably was my cue to ask him but I couldn't coz GF was there and I don't wanna cause any potential dramas.

PS: I lost 4 pounds after finally letting myself like CD again, coincidence? Me thinks not. Ha! Another plus to having a crush is the motivation to feel/look good. Only 17 lbs left to lose from what I gained from school.
