This “comeback” that I speak of is insignificant really.

There are no deep thoughts, no great moments of nirvana, no juicy gossip to share, not even fashion tips to disperse…not that I am trying to imply that some of you need the advice/makeover. I don’t necessarily think that my 10 minute rant about blogging (which in itself is kinda strange…”WTF!” comes to mind—just blog about stuff already!) is going to change the world.

Or will it…?

Nah. Just wishful thinking.

Sometimes I just want to write–to write.

But I wouldn’t be Chibbi if I didn’t include a self-portrait of some kind.

**Get the hair and makeup teams here STAT! Chibbi is about to get some camera time!!**

…after 3 hours of primping and beautifying….here she is:

I was out dancing!

Gotta run!

With love,

Chibbi

I hadn’t posted on my Chibbipress in a LOOOONNNNGG time. I have been busy with other things. (Cuz I am such a busy gal!)

Been partaking in a weight loss competition called Not-a-Fattie Competition and have been kicking ass. (Already lost 5% of my body weight in 3 weeks!)

You know you can always find me at Chibbku and Chibbckr. (Chibbi and Flickr) ha Oh and Chibbtwit!

Just wanted to stop by and say hello to all 2 of you loyal readers. With my hiatus, I don’t think anyone is even stops by here anymore.

::hears crickets::

Well, then I will make more of a conscience (con + science that’s how I always remember how to spell it. hehe) effort to stop by here and give a little shout out–a holla–a whoop, whoop.

TTFN!

(hugs and smooches)

I like looking at myself in the mirror. Not to necessarily check myself out, but to actually look at my imperfections. The bump on my nose, my uneven brows…then remembering..”Crap! I need to pluck!”

I can’t seem to stop loving myself!

Heck! I like to take too many pictures of myself and then inflict that pain onto the world on the ChibbiFlickr! muahahaha

Betty is slowly taking over the world!

And who doesn’t love Betty from Archie comics!

Cruising the YouTube streets, I stumble upon the this pretty cool Californian band that bear my Bettylicious brand: Go Betty Go. Hope you enjoy:

Have a great one!

Hugs!

Chibbi aka Betty

Several developments in my life: my brother was in a bad bicycle accident a little over a month ago.  He is doing better and I actually feel so much better when I talked to him last night when he called to say that “he just wanted to hear my voice”. (tear in my eye) He will be having surgery on July 18th, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Will be visiting him after I get back from my trip….

Then I am headed to London/Liverpool on July 14th (to arrive there on July 15th). Meeting new Jaiku feebly folks–you know who you are! And catching up with some other London folks. (Hugs to Jana for once again being my hostess!!) I am planning on hitting up the London Zoo and perhaps some fancy pants museum. I am trying to work on my whole “being more cultured” thing! Oh and I can get a picture of something Beatles-y in Liverpool and then show it to my Mama (she was a Beatles fan back in the day)! w00t! <—self-wooting is my favorite. ha

Then to top it all off..I am moving into a new apartment (‘flat’, for you, my British friends). Moving the same week I get back from the U.K.! I need to pack up the last of my uncoordinated plates and 3 pans that I actually own. The saddest part of the whole endeavour was the cleaning out of my closet. Several articles of clothing didn’t fit anymore.

I have a couple of things to ask of you:

1. Recommendations for sight-seeing places. I have a list, but ideas would be cool.

2. E-mail me, hit me up on Pressy comments, facebook me while i am gone! I still love getting attention even while I am away.

3. Water my plants!

4. Keep me up-to-date on So you think you can dance? Goes and hides in shame…jazzy hands shame!

5. Don’t forget me! I will still Jaiku so you can always find me there!

One teeny, tiny thing: I will actually have a Nokia e62 on me while abroad! One of my buds loaned it to me so I could actually have a working, non-Motorola phone with me. Weeeee!!

I won’t leave you high and dry! That’s not the Chibbi-style!

Check ya’ll later!!

Cheers!

And it really hurts me to link this…but I have to. I almost feel like it’s my social/human responsibility to do it. It might open one person’s eyes…and I would feel like I have done my job.

A CNN article that I read today that made me sick to my stomach!!

Spread this around.

Hopefully…this will end!

Do you know everything you always wanted to know about text, but were afraid to ask?

It’s a world of shorter notes and faster communication, so forgive me for this next post.

Good Text Bad Text: Reading between the new lines in mobile (or your) relationships.

Because you always need new and techy ways to worry about…right? (We’re still not finished worrying about those LOL’s )

Now you have to ask yourself, was that good? Do I give good text? If it’s bad…isn’t still kind of not that bad?

Did I go over my plan?

According to Superjosh, from the delightful site called Current TV, the times have changed.

“The eloquently written love notes of yesteryear probably won’t get you very far these days when it comes to serenading that special someone.”

For those in the throws of Textual Relations, they might consider relating with a little help video entitled, “Texting Your Way to Love.”

But then there are things that I really, really can’t wait for:

The Dark Knight…not only to see Christian Bale in the hot bat suit, but to see Heath Ledger’s spine-tingling take on the Joker. I have been intrigued since I first saw Batman Begins…loved it more than the more comic book-type 90′s Batman movie series. (May cause some people to go into convulsions.)

Then there’s Madonna’s new cd: Hard Candy -dropping on April 28, 2008 (Isn’t that what the cool kids call it: “This CD is dropping next week”?)

Disclaimer: Here is where I come out and claim my love for Madge!

Sorry to disappoint and I know that there’s tons of great music out there, but little Chibbi grew up listening to “Material Girl”, “Who’s that girl?”, “Like a virgin”, “Papa don’t preach”…envision lil’ pigtailed Chibbs dancing along!

…and I just can’t deny the 80′s in me!!

Then there’s this great tune (IMHO):

Roll in May 22nd and you will have me jumping up and down, clapping, smiling and, overall, in a happy place.

You may ask yourself: What could cause such commotion in the Chibbi household?

Well, my friend, pay attention! It’s the movie premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!!! (BREATHE!) I have prepared myself by watching the first three Indy films in the last months to recap.

Cue Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Cate Blanchett and my fave Shia LaBeouf….and I am smitten. And just look at the movie poster!!

Now, I am picking up my jaw off the floor!

Last, but certainly not least…is my tripku to jolly ol’ England in July!!

There has been an invitation extended to yours truly from the feebs on the other side of the pond to Feeble Fest 2008 to be held in and around the Liverpool area. Apparently it’s a meetup of the minds, the mentals, and the barely theres…”Feeble Outlaws Jaikooligans UNITE“.

So the plane ticket has been booked for July 18th and that’s the extent of my planning! lol

Can’t wait to get there and meet some new peoples: Overpills, Dantheman, KevanV, Fabsh, Zenith, Carlplage, Alistair, Chemist…among others. (If I didn’t include you–my apologies! My mind is off!)

Let’s just hope that I am “feeble” enough for this bunch!

By the way, what to wear in England in the summer???

Cheers and check ya next time!

Chibbi

Just jumping right into it…without a priest (well, I am not Catholic anyway) in sight and without asking for much forgiveness…here it is folks and I hope you still love me in the morning:

1. I have been trying to find my high school crush and no luck.
2. I watch too much t.v. for my own good.
3. I over-quote movies/shows.
4. I like to take too many pictures of myself. (hides in shame)
5. I curse sometimes a little bit more than my mom would want.
6. I don’t always come to complete stops at stop signs.
7. I like cowboys.
8. I can drink a little bit too much…sometimes…
9. I watch Blind Date and enjoy it. GASP!
10. I didn’t go to church on Easter Sunday.
11. I am dorky enough to “Just Say No” when people offer the “happy” cig.
12. I want to marry someone named Luke or Han or Anakin.

I am stopping now…WHEW!

Good to get some of that off my shoulders!

Hopefully, I can go back to that little innocent Chibbi from back in the day…(even though I was still a bit nerdy then)

How quickly can I drink a gallon of milk before I look like that? (or throw up the fried rice that I had for lunch…)

And since I can’t quite embed this video of Japanese marketing funniness..here is the direct link—> Yuko needs to drink more milk! 

I tip my hat at the Japan Dairy Council for promoting milk-consumption in their island country!

Maybe I will put my own lactose-intolerance aside, fill up a glass of milk and drink up. Banzai!
