<p>Here is how I will look at the point of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon" target="_blank">event horizon</a>:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1046" title="photo-2" src="http://copingmechanisms.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/photo-2.jpg?w=500&#038;h=375" alt="photo-2" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>I look like a Picasso painting, only worthless.</p>
<p>And for the tyrannical part&#8230;..</p>
<p>This is me looking like North Korea&#8217;s Dear Leader <strong>Kim Jong Il</strong>:</p>

<p>After seeing this pic, I feel so&#8230;.. ~glamorous~ I am so ready for my Vogue Cover.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Over the weekend, an unplanned meeting happened between <strong>Blas</strong> and <strong>the mysterious lady </strong>and myself<strong>.</strong> We three spoke of different things ranging from notes on having relations with men from different universities (Yes, we are all frustrated sluts) to the politics (How this so and so candidate is a political prostitute) to certain showbiz chismis (the mysterious lady is related to suicidal celebrity surgeon <strong>Hayden Kho</strong>!!!!).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1041" title="dsc00005" src="http://copingmechanisms.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/dsc00005.jpg?w=450&#038;h=338" alt="dsc00005" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Blas presented by the mysterious lady</em></p>
<p>I was supposed to meet with my Virtual Girlfriend<strong> Nemcy</strong> but that didn&#8217;t push through so with some text messages, a coven of cackling witches and bitches converged and dished.</p>
<p>I really appreciated this unplanned meeting considering that lately I have become insanely busy.  But in a good way.  So, I guess, my weekends are not really totally free for me to relax because I have so much to do.</p>
<p>But I am not spreading myself too thin to a point of mental exhaustion.  This is why it&#8217;s a good type of busy.</p>
<p>Some would snipe that this weekend was boring.  The marketed social life as indicated by mass media as cool and youthful never really blazed in me even when I was in my 20s.  I don&#8217;t really get a kick out of going to clubs all dressed up and sounding stupid, so, this meeting with hours worth of conversation at some pizza place is what I make time for.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Certain highlights of the weekend:</em></p>
<p>I was offered to be a best man.  ME!!!!  I want to be the flower girl, too!  Thing is, the guy that offered me Best Man has yet to find a wife, so I am not going to hold my breath.  But, man, that guy is so serious to make me a best man.  I am just happy to be asked.</p>
<p>I watched <em>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</em>.  I love it because <strong>Elias Koteas</strong> is there as a watchmaker.  And <strong>Cate Blanchett</strong> is so fine and talented she should be presented to aliens as humanity&#8217;s gift to the universe. <strong> Brad Pitt </strong>was ok.</p>
<p>Bought some large bottles of acrylics which means I am obligated to paint.  Maybe later&#8230;.</p>
