The Oprah Show is showing on ABC and today's episode is about how scam artists from Nigeria scam Americans online via the online dating scene and those stupid junk email that tells you you've won the lottery or like, a million dollars.
HONESTLY. okay, i guess people who are looking for love online tend to be slightly more vulnerable and when the ass of a scam artist tells you you're all he's got in the world after what, A MONTH? and proposes to you. no duh, you're ecstatic... than he asks you to wire over say, few thousands of dollars because he's in a rut and at the moment, you're the only shining light and of course, what's a few thousands of dollars when you're engaged to the man of your dreams... whom you havent met. and he tells you that he'll fly over to meet you at the airport and of course you put on your prettiest dress and wait for him for SIX BLOODY HRS, than it hits you that you've been scammed. and you go online and find out that your handsome prince charming is actually some random on a modelling site. man, that must suck.
and those Stupid emails! OHMYGOD. if you havent Even taken part in Any lottery, how can you possibly win any money? NOTHING, i repeat, NOTHING is free in this WholeEntireWorld. think about it! i guess, air Is free. but come on, your Mama had to pay for food to live for the 9 months to have given birth to you.
... guess it's rich coming from me since i just paid 5 bucks for THREE roll-ups? i know i know! i feel stupid, but this kid sold it to me claiming it's for his basketball team who's hoping to buy jerseys. awww, doesnt it just warm your heart on a cold winter evening? and another 10 bucks 2 nights ago to some guy passing his self-made CD around hoping to break into the R&B industry by "spreading the word to make it to the top". he even signed his home-burned CD, and i guess if he really does make it big, that CD would be worth Something. but whatever, Kelvin i'm giving you that CD :D
to be fair, he never mentioned that it was 10 bucks. he asked for a donation i was comfortable with. but come on, you gotta give credit to anyone who isnt embarrassed to be rapping on the Ave of Americas when it's 5 degrees out. after passing him the 10 bucks, i'm named a "homegirl". he asked if i've ever been to Harlem, i smile and say "No...", he quickly tells me that it's not really like in American Gangsters where shootings go on all the time. i say i'll visit it when i have the time and homegirls get a kiss on their cheeks before they boot.
SCORE MOFO!!! the weather channel just said there'll be slight snow on Sunday morning!! HOHOHOHOHOHOHO. it's been... SOOOOOO long since i last saw snow, and no, Snow City in Singapore doesnt count.
that's ice, that smells.
i went into Wendy's today hoping to try my FIRST Wendy's infamous burgers and shakes but right next to the USD$6.99 for the Chicken Club was the 1005 calories that it contained. looking down at my thighs, i turned and left; "Maybe after 10 more blocks" i told myself. i dont normally deprive myself a good burger but i felt a little guilty for downing 4 cupcakes for breakfast yesterday and 2 muffins and a bowl of cereal this morning. 3 blocks down and i buy me a hot dog and before i could stop myself, another one 2 streets down.
every single store i've been into has been playing christmas songs, and the window decorations at the department stores are absolutely gorgeous. it really makes the holiday season tons more exciting.
also absolutely gorgeous is the Victoria Secret store and the Juicy Couture store.
Why oh Why doesnt Singapore bring Victoria Secret in? argh, so frustrating.
i only managed this few pictures before i was told cameras weren't allowed.
Meh.
my Dad keeps reminding me to go to Rockefeller Center cause he thinks i'll only realise what a Magical Christmas looks like after i witness the ice skating rink and the world's largest Christmas tree, or so i'm told. i saw it and it really didnt seem That big.
i guess he meant at night when it's all litted and gorgeous but i wasnt about to stay out too late cause it gets dark at like, 5 in the evening during Winter and i'm sooo not up for being mugged off of the loot i bought today on the way back to the hotel.
H, the next 2 pics are especially for you.
XO.
do you see it? do you see it?
sorry hunni, i didnt go in cause the line was wayyyy too long. but i will before i leave.
i guess it's sorta true what they say; America is bigger than life. well. sorta kinda.
all stores that's in Asia is tripled in sizes and numbers here in America.
Forever Twentyone is three-levels high, and Victoria Secret is two. Juicy Couture was two and every other corner you turn, is also a two-level Maccas/Burger King. and i think i saw two three-levelled H&M stores and one two-levelled one.
this has to be the most adorable decoration i've seen.
i know! these pull-down ladder things are real!
give me break; i bought a new camera.
CHANTAL'S outtttt.
