[off to la playa] In just under 3 hours, we will be off to Mexico! This will be our first trip to Mexico since DF and PV 16 months ago, and our first time back in the Yucatan area in 6 years.

I know, I know, summer in Mexico?? Kwazy, right? It's not like we weren't warned beforehand:

Fri	Sat	Sun
Isolated T-Storms High: 35°C (95°F) Low: 27°C (80°F)	Scattered T-Storms High: 33°C (91°F) Low: 27°C (80°F)	Scattered T-Storms High: 32°C (89°F) Low: 27°C (81°F)

In a gist: Hair-flatteningly hot and humid.

They are calling for a heat index of 105°F (41°C!) tomorrow. Ugh... I can't wait! *giggle* @ 10:01

[sticky and sweet] OMB, I just bought four TENTH row tickets to Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour in Philly!!! *squeals and faints* @ 15:35

June 30, 2008

[totes tranny] OMB, I have no idea why I am posting this but I wanted to share with y'all what a Hot Gaysian Tranny Mess (HGTM) is capable off. At the beach. Walking down the main drag (pun intended) -- Rehoboth Avenue -- like it's a runway (and almost fell off it). In another tranny's CFMPs.

Presenting:: "I'm Working It As Much As I Can!"
Disclaimer:: I was totes dwunk!!!
Warning:: Professional Tranny on an open sidewalk in a gay beach town. Do not attempt this at home!
Sponsor:: Park & Ride T available at Ajaxx63

OMB. That's all.

And this was before what will forever be known from now on as the "Incident" at Lupo di Mare where this HGTM yelled -- at the top of her lungs, no less -- "you lied to me!" repeatedly at the wait staff over a candle for Patrick's birthday dessert.

All's I have to say is hell hath no fury like a gaysian lied to.

Totes Tranny Ferosh Beach Weekend, LOL!

Pictures! Der... @ 17:59

[don't text and drive] As you all know by now, I am a Nazi when it comes to vehicular safety. I am constantly screaming at friends and family to buckle up; even in the back seats. And I get ferosh when someone, anyone talks on their mobile while driving, forcing them to pull off to the shoulder (or to get on hands-free) before continuing.

So, CNN's Quick Vote today:

Have you ever sent a text message while driving?

I, of course, clicked on the "Yes" radio button.

I know, *shame*. But I've done it more times than I can think and I can't seem to stop. It's like an addiction. I usually just read the texts but if I've been known to reply as well.

I *heart* texting long time!

...but not as much as Blake :-o @ 17:40

[half gone] The two weeks between the summer solstice and Fourth of July are my favorite weeks of the year. That's when the sun sets at its latest here in DC -- 8:37pm.

Nevermind that the longest day of the year is actually on June 20th (or 21st) -- 14h 54m of daylight! Sunset is actually a minute later for the two weeks after the solstice before becoming earlier again. The sun rises later -- which is why the days become shorter after the solstice -- but that doesn't concern me coz, well, I *never* see the first light of the day. That is if I'm not still up from the night before ;-) So, the later the sun sets, the better!

I still remember fondly the days when the sun would set at 9:30pm in London; which is so much farther north it gets 2 hours more daylight than DC on its longest day! It totarry screws with your dinner times (eating dinner when it's light out? tranny, pls...) but it's still bloody awesome.

The past two weeks -- starting with Pride -- have been, expectedly, totes kwazy. You've all heard about Pride weekend already. Following that weekend, I went out five nights in a row beginning Tuesday night -- the first of two (or, potentially, three!) 80s nights in a row. This past week, I repeated the Tuesday - Saturday cycle with the added bonus of a trip to the Rehomo.

And the second half of 2008 will kick off with a non-stop party that will stretch from tomorrow night all the way into the weekend in Playa del Carmen, Mexico! I can't wait for Playa -- sun, sand and tequila! I have no idea how my liver does it but I talk to it at the end of every night out and it seems to be holding up just fine. Practice makes purrfect! It's a good lil' liver down there. I have to remember to send it chocolates and flowers for V-Day. Oh hell, I'll probably just give it more Vodka.

Yes, the year is half gone. It's shocking, really. I don't know where all my weekends have gone but it's safe to say that, without this blog, I would not remember many of them LOL. I'm getting really bad at writing about my weekends and putting up pics on here coz, well, all that info is now on Facebook *giggle*. I am such an FB-junkie these days.

If I thought the first half of 2008 went by too quickly, then the second half promises to be on speed. Mexico beckons in three days. Three weeks after we get back, we are headed to China for 2 1/2 weeks for the 2008 Olympics (yay!!). Summer will almost be over by the time we get back. The crazy DC fall party schedule will kick into high gear after Labor Gay weekend. Then, we have a 2 1/2-week trip to Malaysia (and God only know where else) in late-Oct/early-Nov for my friend's wedding. And then the Thanksgiving/Christmas madness kicks in. Before you know it, 2009 will be here! Argh.

Our lives are such a whirlwind these days I almost don't know how we make time for sleep (hence, my constant sleep-deprived bitchy mood these days). Makes me long for a boring, suburban, straight person's life. Almost.

I mean, if times flies when you are having fun, then I must be having a tranny ferosh of a time!

T minus 3 days to Playa, T minus 26 days to China! @ 17:34

June 29, 2008

[hot twanny texts] So I have a new text-buddy and I am almost ashamed to admit this as a gaysian (who invented and manufactured all the devices that y'all text on) but Blake's texting puts mine to shame in terms of quantity. On a monthly average basis, he sends three times more texts than I do (that's almost 10,000 texts!!). If he didn't have an unlimited plan, that would be like a thousand bucks in texts alone :-o

Anyho, we send random hot tranny texts to each other. He's almost supplanting Rick as my tranny text-buddy. Almost.

Blake:: At the end of Zoolander when he speaks to your prime minister, is he speaking your language?
Me:: Yup, bahasa. That was random lol
Blake:: I just watched it lol
Me:: And you thought of me? Aww. I'm so touched I'm touching myself
Blake:: I wish i was touching you ;-)
Me:: Eww, isn't that like me robbing the cradle? Lol
Blake:: No... That's if you were touching [friend-who-shall-not-be-named]
Me:: I don't mind going to jail for that lol
Blake:: Buying a whore is a felony
Me:: Oh, I wasn't thinking of paying lol
Blake:: Haha um... We are going to Apex tonight... He can crash in your ass.. Err... Place?
Me:: My ass just twitched and is now quivering in anticipation

Yes, I officially know an actual whore now, LOL.

We were at the Finnish Embassy for the Metro Teen Aids auction event this past Thursday...

Blake:: We are heading to r street
Me:: I'm at the Finnish Embassy
Blake:: Embassy party?
Me:: Yup. Three words. Hot. Scandinavian. Trannies.
Blake:: Take one home. Hell, for 150, take three
Me:: One each for the three of us eh
Blake:: Exactly. It's for a good cause

While we were at the Embassy, Blake parked his bimmer next to mine in our driveway...

MMS pic

Blake:: One broken sideskirt and one scrapped up front later and I'm in!
Me:: Aww. Our bimmers are like lesbian lovers!

He's such a tranny driver.

But, of course, no one is funnier on text messaging than my Wick! And he's been at the beach in NC this past week so I've been going through a texting drought. Blake's been filling in, of course :-)

So I set my Facebook status message to "Kiat is drowning his Supreme Court sorrows at the Finnish Embassy -- fwee dwinks!"

Rick:: Rick is wishing he was drowning her Supreme Court sorrows at the Embassy of Finland... Fwee dwinks!
Me:: You are a fucking tranny Ferosh
Rick:: no, YOU are tranny Ferosh... I insist
Me:: We are tranny Ferosh! I've got all my trannies with me
Rick:: can you get me another vodka cran and soda please?
Me:: Done!
Rick:: fetch
Me:: Tretch
Rick:: Fetchrosh
Me:: ROR. So dwunk
Rick:: fwee dwinks!
dwinks and twinks
Me:: Ferosh! We miss you rong time
Rick:: less than 48 hours until tranny reunion
Me:: I won't be here
Rick:: tranny not happy :-(
Me:: Lol. Sowwy
Rick:: you be sowwy for long long time
Me:: Folever sowwy

Yay! I'm so happy he's back in DC now!

While he was driving back from NC...

Rick:: Best roadside sign yet: "Hookers: Bait and Tackle". LMAO! Spotted 737am; blog-worthy rating: High
Rick:: Second best sign: "welcome to Coinjock"... just so many things I could say about that one... Blog-worthy rating: Honorable Mention
Rick:: #3: "Bottoms Bridge". Shouldn't that be a tunnel??
Me:: ROR!
Rick:: Me miss chinky twanny long time
Me:: Don't you mean "rong" time?? Wow, we've been apart so long our shared bwain is detaching
Rick:: It will weattach, don't wowwy

ROTFL! I think #3 should be #1. BTdubs, ROR = Raff Out Roud, der.

Blake:: Omg you did nothing but blog at work on the 26th lol
Me:: Why are you reading Kiat.net??
Blake:: Why not?
Me:: Coz it's big like my hair... It's full of secrets
Blake:: Haha duh, it's the repository
Me:: ...of fetch gossip
Blake:: Fetch? I was gonna say tranny
Me:: Fierce tranny gossip

Why do ppl read my blog?? Totes embawassing.

So we are in Rehomo for the weekend for Patrick's birthday, and we got massive fit-shaced last night at Cloud 9. And I, of course, being the gaysian tranny that I am, took a billion pictures (surprise) and dwunk-texted all my twannies.

Me:: OMB, so dwunk. I'm gonna be dwunk texting you all night lol
Blake:: Yaaay lol. At least you can still spell dwunk
Me:: On Tranny9! Worship my phone lol
Rick:: Yay!! Dwunk twanny texts!!! Bwing it on!!
Me:: I wuv and miss you! For the next 5 mins until I find other HTMs to hang out with
Rick:: HTM slut!

One wonders how my phone hasn't exploded from all the text messages that come in and out of it on a daily basis!

It's a very lazy Sunday afternoon here by the beach. It's not really a good beach day (cloudy, humid, weird high tides, storms coming) so we may be heading home soon. Plus, I woke up with the most massive hangover and I don't think I can drink another drop of liquor at Aqua...

...but maybe at JR's :-D @ 14:11

June 27, 2008

[beach bound] Yay, we're off to Rehoboth today for the first time this year! Way overdue, if I may add.

The weather will be kinda yucky though (mid-90s and stormy) but no matter... I am all about relaxing and partying and getting a tan that will make all y'all blush ;-)

And all this is thanks to the incredible generosity of Rob/Carlos who graciously open up their beach home (a new one this year!) to their friends year after year. We're lucky to be counted as one of them!

And if for some bizarre overcast reason I don't get a tan this weekend... there's always next weekend! Yup, Mexico is calling out our names for Fourth of July weekend. TWO back-to-back beach weekends in a row. How will I survive?! @ 15:42

June 26, 2008

[office pics] Yea yea, I've been pretty lax about posting pics recently. Not that there has been a paucity of pics or anything (der, I'm Asian and I have a camera phone :-p). It's just that most of the pics are up on Facebook and I'm too damn lazy to replicate them on here (shock and horror, I know).

But here are some pics of my newly decorated office (we just moved down the hall)... you won't find these on Facebook i.e. it's an exclusive! :-D

[L] My desk! I have a window office, yay me :-D
[R] *giggle* No, that sticker did not come with the office :-p

[L] The pictures of Malaysia and Japan on my wall. A little washed out from the sun, but you get the picture.
[R] My parasol windchimes aka parachimes. They're oh-so-chinky and awesome!

[L] "When I think of Happiness, Happiness begins!"... not much of that at work these days, hrmph
[R] I have more stickers! I'm still pondering where to put the "I'm Not A Tranny" sticker...

The melange of colors that is Malaysia -- Truly Asia!

Y'like? @ 15:46

[0.15%] 10,100,000 strong. That's how many High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) there are on the planet in 2007, a 6% increase from 2006. The world's millionaires club is getting bigger -- and its members decidedly richer.

Note that HNWIs refer to individuals whose net investable/liquid assets are valued at $1mn or more, including checking, savings and retirement accounts, mutual funds, stocks and bonds; home values are not included in asset totals.

Asia is emerging as a powerhouse region as far as HNWIs are concerned.

According to the 12th Annual World Wealth Report (by ML and Capgemini), Asia now boasts 2.8 million millionaires/HNWIs (total wealth = $9.5 trillion) and fast catching up to North America's 3.3 million ($11.7tn) and Europe's 3.1 million ($10.6tn). Those three regions are far ahead of the 400,000 each in Latin America ($6.2tn) and the Middle East ($1.7tn), and Africa with a paltry 100,000 millionaires ($1.0tn).

China and India, the world's two most populous countries, this year also became the fastest-growing generators of millionaries, notching up increases of 22.7% in India to 123,000 individuals, and 20.3% in China to 415,000. China passed France as home to the fifth-largest number of millionaires in the world. China has its sights set on Britain's 494,500 millionaires next.

Brazil's yearly growth of millionaires is third with a 19.1% growth to 143,000. South Korea's number of millionaires grew 18.9% to 118,000 and Indonesia is fifth with a 16.8% annual increase to 23,000. Singapore was last year's millionaire growth champion at 21.2%. This year's pace for the island-nation/city-state is 15.3%, rising to 77,000 millionaires.

All told, global assets held by the wealthy millionaires rose by 9.4% to $40.7 trillion in 2007 -- below 2006's 11.4% growth -- with the average exceeding $4 million (wow) for the first time. The United States lead the ranks of number of HNWIs with over 3 million, followed by Japan with 1.5mn and Germany with 826,200. One in every thre millionaires in the world lives in the US. Combined, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America account for just one in 10.

The even more rarefied group of the superrich (Ultra HNWIs) -- those with at least $30mn in assets -- got richer, too. There were 103,000 of them around the world last year, an 8.8% increase from 2006, and their wealth grew by nearly 14.5%. This 1% of the world's millionaires controls about a third of the $40.7 trillion.

The conclusion? The rich got richer, and the richest of them got richer even faster!

Ten million HNWIs may seem like a big number for such an elite club, but it still represents only 0.15% of the world's 6.7 billion people.

Are you in the Top 0.15%? ;-p @ 14:13

[blattodephobia] I'm not even sure if that word exists but if it remotely describes cockroach phobia, I have it!

I haven't written about my "cockrophobia" since 2005 -- You should go to the AUG 26 posting. I just re-read it and it's hilarious! Who knew I could get so animated about cockroaches. I *heart* my cockroach fortress; and yes, I still build them until this day. And when we're at a hotel, I always make Tony order more pillows for my fortress. Yes, I'm 31. Shut it.

The reason why blattodephobia crossed my mind today is coz of this article about Wall-E -- the highly-anticipated movie by Pixar coming out tomorrow. I think it's sooooo incredibly skin-crawlingly gross that Wall-E is gonna have a pet cockroach!

Yuck. I mean, I can put up with rats in Ratatouille, but cockroaches?! Eww, gross, bleagh, disgusting! @ 13:12

[$2,285 to go] I was furious enough about the Supreme Court ruling that I made my first ever donation to the Obama 2008 campaign.

All of $15 *giggle*

Actually, I did it mostly because they sent out an e-mail promising to send us all a cool little car magnet (I want!) for a $15 donation. I was like, der.

I *did* emphatically say that if Obama decided to forego public funds for the general election campaign, I would give him the full $2,300 amount that is the maximum that any individual can contribute.

Well, $2285 to go!

Isn't America great? I am only a green card holder so I can't vote, but they allow me to give money!

Yup, even our democracy is subservient to capitalism.

p.s. OK, I lied. Tony and I donated $20 each at Pride two weekends ago to buy Obama Pride T-shirts. But that wasn't really a campaign contribution... was it? *confused* @ 11:15

[supreme wrong] This is just plain depressing.

In a tragically flawed ruling just now, the US Supreme Court wiped out DC's 32yo ban on handguns.

The part that irritates me the most is that the ruling is 5-4. Ever since Bush v Gore, one cannot help but look at the US Supreme Court with ill-regard as these 5-4 rulings pile up.

I think today's ruling is particularly heinous.

The facts speak for themselves:

Gun-related homicides in other countries: Australia -- 56, Canada -- 184, UK -- 73, NZ -- 5, Sweden -- 37.

In 2005, 30,694 ppl in the US died from firearm-related deaths -- 12,352 homicides, 17,002 suicides, 789 accidents, 330 by police intervention, and 221 unknown.

That is EIGHTY FOUR a day.

Most heartbreaking of all, 8 of the 84 were children and teenagers 19 and under.

For every one of those 8, an average of 6 others were estimated to be non-fatally wounded.

Firearms are the second-leading cause of death (after motor vehicle accidents) for young people 19 and under in the US.

The rate of firearm death of 14 and under is almost 12 times higher in the US than in 25 other industrialized countries *combined*.

Why are Americans so stupid?

And the guy who brought the suit against the District which ended up with this Supreme Court ruling? I hope he rots in hell, smeared with the bloods of all the innocent lives that would've been spared had it not been for his idiocy and selfishness.

I am furious. @ 10:40
