Ironic
Doesn’t this picture defeat the purpose of America Ferrera playing a character like Betty Suarez? 
On top of that, this has got to be one of the worse Photoshop jobs ever. Who let this cover run? Can somebody pay me $100/hr to unecessarily slim down perfectly good looking people??? Personal opinions aside, I could at least make it look like she went on a cayenne pepper diet!

Here’s another Photoshop hack job. It looks more believable but still unecessary.
I’d be mad if someone did that to me. I can understand some airbrushing but not cutting body parts in half.

Can’t wait until November
I absolutely love love love this song. It’s nice to hear some of that “rawness” in her voice that I thought was missing from the last album. I’m anxious to hear the rest of “As I Am.”
No One – Alicia Keys
It’s been a long time
I was looking at my archives and realized that I haven’t posted a Throwback Thursday since June 28th! I know it ain’t Thursday but I gotta post some for the 80s and 90s folk out there.

Need a new career path
I’ve been doing this web design stuff for just over a year now and I’m getting very frustrated. Love the work, hate the clients. Most people have no idea what kind of work goes into it and then you have the people who mess around on Dreamweaver and think that that’s enough to make them web designers.
Can you learn how to be a doctor by watching ER? NO!
Since web design is so “easy,” people want to pay you peanuts. Or these “self-taught” designers charge peanuts because they don’t really know what they’re doing anyway. Even when I explain the hours it takes to do certain things, the benefits of going with a real designer (search engine capabilities, pages loading faster, better usability, etc etc) people still make outlandish requests for outlandish prices.
I waste so much time writing emails explaining shit and then having potential clients giving lame excuses for why they don’t want to hire me when the real reason is they think it should only cost $150 for something that will take me 40hrs to complete. But then again… isn’t web design just throwing up a couple of pictures and text???
If you don’t have the proper budget to put up a proper website, you are better off getting a blog. These are free.
Oh yeah. It was also my birthday yesterday. Had a full weekend. Went to a 90s themed party where Lisa Lisa and Dream Warriors performed! I also went out for dinner, Toronto film fest movie and a scrumptious Sunday brunch! I had so much fun but alas, the celebrations is over and now I have to get back to reality.
I’ve decided I’m going to be a professional baby mama and get pregnant by Diddy and/or some athlete. This working and being an alleged “independent woman” is a farce and somebody should have told me that before I acquired thousands of dollars in student loan debt!
Tired of it!
Sometime last summer, somebody asked me if I was pregnant. The next week I started going to the gym.
Anybody that knows me, knows that I got a little more “junk in the trunk” than the average stereotypical Asian girl. Logically, I understand that I’m not fat, but when you grow up in a culture where being 100 lbs well into adulthood is ideal, (and I haven’t been 100lbs since grade school), well let’s just say it had a bit of an effect on me.
I’m not going to go into some long story about myself but I just wanted to say, I’m tired of it. At first I thought of it as being more of a cultural thing, but I’m finding that every woman around me, of any culture is either trying to lose weight or would like to lose weight. And many choose to modify their food intake rather than exercising, which annoys me even more.
I’m tired of talking about it, and I can’t help but be self-conscious when even those that are smaller than me are complaining about their weight. I admit, I started going to the gym because I wanted to lose weight but after I started going regularly, it became more focused on my health. I haven’t lost that much weight but I keep going because I FEEL better, healthier.
I don’t mind talking about fitness and health. What I don’t like is the unrealistic ideals and the “I’m just going to eat less” attitude. I knew this girl that would have just water for our entire 8 hour work day.
I’m sure tomorrow, someone is going to complain to me about wanting to lose 10lbs, or something they’ve decided not to eat in a effort to look like some woman that doesn’t exist.
