Happy Moon Festival! Tomorrow is the annual mid-autumn festival for Chinese (and Korean) but a typhoon is ruining the holiday 'cuz the stormy weather has covered up the moon. All we get is strong winds & heavy rainfalls.
Some may wonder why is it that my recent postings are mostly restaurant reviews or nightlife coverage. Actually it is something I do for a bilingual monthly magazine (in Chinese / English). The money isn't much but I enjoy doing it cuz it will allow me to meet interesting people and eat for free!
Last year and up until this past July I was involved in the local film industry. However, I'm slowly drifting away from it but I have been asked to make cameo from time to time in films & TV drama. It's quite fun! I'll have a part coming up soon where I'll play a radio host. This one should be easy for me.
And I have a confession to make. I tipped off a reporter about a dirty secret and soon it was all over the newspaper! Here's the scoop: a former colleague from the shopping channel (in fact I never liked her!) was recently accused of adultery. Apparently in Taiwan you can be charged with adultery. She was dating some dude who's a pilot for China Airlines and his wife tracked down where my old colleague's residence. It was ugly - serious cat fight took place! And later the two women filed charges against each other.
It is reallly none of my business. But another former co-worker told me about it and on the same day I ran into a friend who's a reporter for the infamous gossip newspaper and he pursued the leads I gave him. And the next thing I knew that scandal made it to the news (print & TV). All I can say for Ms. Coco is that GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!
Geez where did all the time go? I'm going to be 35 on Novemver 1st. The truth is that I feel like 28, not 35! Everyone says the clock is ticking. I think I wouldn't mind finding a guy and just be with him. But marriage isn't necessary since I have no plans to be a mother.
As for the dating scene, it's hard to meet someone who's carefree. We all have problems of our own. It's scary to find out the skeleton in the closet. It ain't pretty at all. I do know a lot of society elites and they have more problems than anyone else! Having money is great and I won't say no to it. But in the end it still comes down to compatibility. I know what I like in a man and what I don't like. Often the so-called "great deal" can vary from one chick to another. My concept of an ideal man is very different than my sister's, let alone millions of women out there.
I always meet men at random places and I always wonder what they see in me and the impression they have of me. Some are total aloof and therefore 1 or 2 dates should do it. I have this secret lover for years, on & off; but it's probably going nowhere. We were never serious about each other. I like him but maybe not enough to be with him for the rest of my life and he probably was never that into me anyway.
I've been seeing a Scorpio man for quite some time. He's one year younger than me but quite mature for his age. We both are keeping a low profile. Therefore not a whole lot of people know about us, not even the person who introduced us has any clue. He's very tall, dark and wears glasses; this is the first time I'm dating someone who's just as independent but less selfish than I am. He's responsible and trustworthy. I feel very well-taken care of when I'm with him.
If all goes well, I should be arriving in SF on Monday September 29th on a monthly vacation.
