Ying, Yang and Foot Massages

Foot massages. I love them. I went for my first foot massage about 2 years ago, and shortly after, I was addicted. I started going a 2-3 times a month. I had a problem. So I had an intervention, and now, I rarely go. Just recently, a new modern reflexology spa called Foot Lounge just opened. Trouble.

It’s a great lounge. The massages are awesome. But my favorite part is this: they have a masseuse who gives foot readings. Foot what? Readings. In smart people terms, podomancy.

Your feet tell a story. The right is your masculine side, your Ying. It symbolizes work, money, “manly” things. (Debatable.) The left is your feminine side, your Yang. It symbolizes decision making, trust, and other “girly” things. According to my awesome masseuse, my Ying is dominant over my Yang. I’m a manly she-male who sucks at decision making (truth) and trusting people (truth too). To strengthen my Yang, I need to cut down on sweets. Stress causes me to eat sweets, which in turn, clouds my judgement and triggers bad decision making. Note to self: do not mix alcohol and sugar.

Now if I want to manifest my Ying and make it stronger, I need to find a regular social activity. Like, sports. Pleease. I told the masseuse that I do engage in a social activity. It’s called blogging. Apparently, sitting in front of your computer alone for hours is not a social activity. What?

Anyways, while I’m getting my massage and podomany on, I’m feeling all zen and shit. Our deep, intellectual conversation about my life is suddenly interrupted: [in Chinese] ”WAAAAAH! You need to get a lymph node massage!!! Your legs are sooo FAT!” Yup. That’s a typical traditional Chinese woman for you. Mind you, during the foot massage you could only see my calves. So now I have fat calves too, right under my fat thighs. Common theme?

My BFF and I did burst out laughing though. No offence taken.

PS – I thought this outfit was appropriate for the post because it’s bold and strong. Since I’m manly and all.

Russian Hat + Year of the Dragon

Happy Chinese New Year everybunny!
Wishing you + your families much health, happiness and prosperity!

It’s the year of the Dragon! Where are all muh dragons at? Being a tiger, I had to keep true to my roots. Hence the leopard (it’s a cat, same difference) cardi, and um, furry hat. Because cats also have fur.

This is my 2nd time wearing my Russian hat. I wore it to dim sum yesterday and I probably looked crazy. I say that because all of “my people” were staring at me. Elderly Chinese grannies seem to enjoy staring though, without being polite enough to look away once you catch them and stare back. So, maybe they were just being…. normal.

On another note, my weekend was great. It was partially anti-social, chill, and laid back. I spent Saturday night with 3 friends drinking super-charged golf carts, eating Sour Patch Bunnies, watching YouTube make-up tutorials of Promise Phan transforming into Angelina Jolie and other celebs, and episodes of Happy Endings. I was the only girl. What? I was the only girl. Um, awesome.

red shoes

Zara, Sale $30

I went into Zara the other day to exchange a Christmas gift. One of my new year resolutions is to save, starting from banning myself from the mall for a while after all the damage I did over the holidays. With this in mind, I walked into Zara and headed straight to the cashier, head down, making sure to avoid the crazy sales going on all around me. So I stared at the floor. Looked to the right. Looked to the left. And looked to the right… shoes. A table full of sale shoes. And on the floor, this pair in my size. Mine.

I really tried.

red hot pants

Aside from my candid expression in photo 1, and my awkward stance in photo 2, I like how these pictures turned out. And I like the red hot pants. They’re a bit big on me, which means I’ll still be able to wear them later on when I become round and cute…..!!! But please, don’t all jump at the chance of that. I know it’s hard because my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard…

So I’ve been listening to music on YouTube and it always seems to have a strange effect on me. It’s kind of like being suddenly injected with sugar, followed by a severe adrenaline rush. Next thing you know, I’m up. I’m jumping and dancing in my room (with the door closed) and jamming to the beats. Then, I get the sudden urge to work out, go to the gym, run a marathon. That quickly dies… and then this extreme, intensifying urge to shop surges. What instigates that, I have no clue. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I’m actually really weird, you just don’t know it. Maybe it’s a good thing. Let’s just leave it at that.

Bunnie Bar turns two!

happy birthday bunnie bar!

So of course I had to fly down to Los Angeles to celebrate the 2nd birthday of my blog, because only something so outrageous and fun would do this special day justice. Go big or go home, right?

I wish. But, I did go to LA with my BFF to soak up some real California sun since Vancouver has been a disappointment so far. However, now that I’m back, we’re not doing so bad. As for the trip…I didn’t shop nearly as much as I was hoping to. That’s probably a blessing in disguise.

I didn’t realize that it was Bunnie Bar’s 2 years until it suddenly dawned on me during a conversation. Has it really been two years already?? Time flies, things change, and you get old…but apparently I’m still blogging! And… you’re still reading, which is really amazing to me. Even without readers, I might still be blogging today (probably not), but I know for a fact that it would be much less fulfilling. The interaction, comments and opportunities to meet new people locally and online is endless, and I love it. Is that too cyber geeky?

What I’m trying to say, is thank you. Thank you for reading and sharing with me. Thank you for loving it, or hating it. And for all the readers that remain nameless, thank you too. (But maybe you should say hi sometime.)

Lastly, thank you to the tripod and people who have helped me take ridiculous pictures of myself, and to the friends, especially Ian, who helped me start it all. ♥
