The Wong Person

All around bad-ass, superhero, zombie destroyer.

I miss my birds.

They're being babysat for I will be going away to Peru this coming Friday.

The house feels empty without my babies. :(














I've got so much to write, since I've been absent for 2 months and working my butt off in a bunch of different productions. Alas, now is not the time to recap.

The T-Virus is HERE!!!

Sooo, I guess I better start sharpening my weapons and prepping my Zombie Apocalypse survival plans. Why the sudden freak out you ask? Well...


















Yes folks, thats real. Brought to you by beauty care manufacturer, Avon. To see for yourself, please click HERE.

Perhaps those that have no clue what I'm ranting about could use a recap. What is the T-Virus you ask? Weeeeell, in the wonderful world of Resident Evil, the T-Virus is what causes our flesh craving friends. Why you ask? It reanimates dead tissue, and in some story variations, its what causes the cell mutations. Let me provide you with some other visuals...




































These are pretty much visuals from the RE movies, but thats pretty freaky if you ask me! And to freak you out a little more...I imagine the Avon commercial for this product should go something like this:



As if the world didn't have enough things to worry about! I don't think moving to Canada can save us this time...

Ello! New Revelations...

It has occurred to me, that my blog is no longer what it used to be. This happens to me at least once every 6 months, where I realize I'm just ranting too much and not being entertaining enough. Alas, what happened to all the reviews, links, or pictures I used to provide?
Here we go again for another TheWongPerson blog revival!

First things first, lets take a look at this picture.
















What in all that is good and holy could those little cuties be??!? They are parrotlets! The tiniest parrots you can possibly buy...and I WANT one! I ran into a bird breeder the other day at the pet store and I was talking about upgrading from my budgies to a bigger parrot eventually, and she suggested these. They're not bigger in size, but in bird personality. Now, mind you, I love my lil budgies, but when it comes to owning a bigger parrot, perhaps one I can train to talk, I do forsee myself getting one. So, a parrotlet it shall be!
Check out this video if you're not absolutely convinced on how cute they can really be!



They play dead!

In other news, just 3 more days till the official release of Watchmen! I'm so glad the studios worked it out, because I can't believe the day is finally here when that movie is released. And a glorious 3 hours it shall be!



So anyway, I had this whole idea about how I was going to write an entertaining blog entry and bring in my Good Looking Peoples of the month, cause I haven't done that in forever, but then I realized my nails feel kind of long and typing is currently annoying me.

Well, suck it up Wong! So, here's something interesting. Guinea Pigs, yes the critters that my people allegedly eat, come in all shapes and sizes! Who knew they were so specific. Check it out:














You got your most original looking one. And then these weird ass ones.





Coronet Piggy













Peruvian










Texel...whatever it is, its curly!









Okay, I'm done with the guinea pigs. Why are they called pigs anyway? They're rodents. Alas...here is another wonderful tidbit to make you laugh!














The picture was saved as "Puppy Carousel," and it makes me chuckle every time I see it. They're baby basset hounds just being absolutely cuuuuuute!

And for another kind of dog that I love: A Flying Beagle!
















I don't know who that dude is, I should have cropped him out, but his expression is hilarious and completely adds to the flying pup.

And finally, on the topic of dogs, here are two pictures that piss me off a little bit.




























How or why could you possibly let your dog get this fat?! Its animal cruelty!!! Shame on you people!

So, I think I'm done with my animal rants for the day.

Once again I have reverted...

Back to being a public blog. I figured, nobody reads this anyway, and if someone happens to stumble on it and find my rantings of life mildly entertaining, then why the heck not?

Today I got advice from a fellow production freelancer to contact every manager and coordinator I know to remind them that I exist and I need money. So I did. So far, one reply on how its slow and there are barely any jobs. :( Sigh. What am I to do? Well, I've put the word out, I can only leave it in the hands of another now.

I've decided to stop being a lazy ass, and start really working on my damn website. For real now. I'm going to throw myself head first into that and dedicating my time to my future. Sounds good? I think so. Although, it will be very hard.

I guess I'm bummed out at my utter uselessness, not in the sense of not having a job, but having all this creative energy that I SHOULD put to use and not really knowing how. I think thats why I've started blogging again. Ok, blog, I'm going to do some serious serious brainstorming and working to make myself an even more valuable commodity! There's plenty that I can do in my unemployed nature, I just have to get off my ass and do it!

First things first, I must list things to do:

1. Create my www.zombiedestroyer.com website.
2. Start writing down ideas I had for a novel the other day.
3. Create more of my greeting cards

Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself, cause then I'm going to want to do to much and just tread water. I'm gonna get started on my website.

I hate scams...

I think I just applied to a scam from Craigslist. Its for a "marketing" company in Hollywood. The post seemed realistic enough, even with an HR contact and a web address. I checked out the website, looked kind of like a stock site, but some work had been done. Even a location address. Although my gut instinct told me not to, I sent my resume anyway. Now, the only personal info I have on my resume is my name and my phone number, oh and the email address I sent the email through.

I don't know what they could possibly do with that info, besides spread the word on my awesomeness....anyway, I shouldn't worry, but I googled the phone number, and it said they had regional offices in Orlando, but why with a 954 area code, which is Ft. Lauderdale? Hrrrmmmm!

Ah well, lesson learned.

Flamingo Gardens was fun today. I guess I'm officially a volunteer. I got a free button with my name on it and everything. Its basically my free pass to go in whenever! I'll be doing some design work for them...from home! Whoo hoo...as time goes on, I can maybe integrate more of myself into doing bigger and better things. I'm also supposed to help with creating a resource of the history of the place and the founders for people to read and to train the tour guides. Sounds pretty time consuming and potentially fun.

Today I went to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino with my parents, my aunts and my uncle. If you sign up for their "Player's Club" they give you 50 bucks to gamble with. They split it so that its $25 the first day you sign up and then $25 on another day. Today I won $20.20 with my free 25 bucks. FREE MONEY?! I'll take it! Going back on Sunday with my parents to try our luck at getting more!

Well, thats it...I suddenly feel bummed out again. I hate life right now.

I'm thoroughly searched out...

As more and more jobs become harder and harder to find, I'm starting to seriously consider joining the circus. I guess I'm not the only one with this constant feeling of uselessness. Alack, since I don't want any gaps in my resume, I've decided to volunteer at Flamingo Gardens.

Initially, I wanted to work in the Wildlife Sanctuary area, where you get to feed all the birds and such...unfortunately, no positions were available, so upon inspection of the remaining positions, I noticed one was for the office. And especially for Graphic Design. Sooo, I emailed the lady that thats where I wanted to volunteer. I was supposed to meet her last week, but she called me and canceled last minute because she was sick. Tomorrow, I meet her again, so we'll see how it goes. Do work and not get paid you say? Well, its better than gaps in my resume, constant boredom, and joining a circus. I figured, I might as well make things and if they get printed, I have something to add to my portfolio. So, in such cases, I can build up my portfolio and such. Sounds like a good idea? I think so.

As you may have noticed, I've changed the layout of my blog. I thought the black got a little old and wanted colors and a layout more reflective of my personality. I wish blogger made more templates available.

Another thing I must mention...I really really need to start flushing out my zombiedestroyer.com website. I've been very lazy about it, and I don't want the year to go by and I haven't done anything about the domain name and hosting.

I feel a cold coming on. I really don't want to get sick. Sigh. Nothing more to say really...I'll go doodle some website ideas.

Sleep evades me yet again...

Sigh, its 4 am and I'm not sleepy in the least.

I got home not too long ago from PJ's cause I found out he had a crappy day at work today, and being the most awesome girlfriend that I am, I went over there to cheer him up. Thus, I pigged out on chocolate cake, cause I bought some at Publix in a fit of chocolate craving (yes, I'm a girl too). Its a good thing I burned those extra 200 calories at the gym today. Its not much, but its something.

Oh man, I can't even tell you how much of a gym rat I've become. I've been trying to go at least 3 times a week, but I think I'm going to increase it to 4 times. I've been running less, I just run to the gym and back home, which is only about 2 miles. (A little more than 2 miles). The rest of the time, I spend it on the machines. I'm really building up my upper body, especially my arms and abs. I've been easily spending about 2 hours per gym visit. Not really sure how the time goes by so fast, but I try to vary the machines that I use, so each time its a different work out. Today, I decided to run an extra 2 miles on the treadmill and I didn't get any crazy pre-menstrual cramps like I normally do...much to my surprise.
Man...I love the gym and I truly love working out. Nothing feels greater.

Aside from that, I've been applying to jobs like mad. Although times are hard, I do try to stay within my field when job searching. I don't want to stray too far, cause I finally know what I want. And I really don't want to end up working some retail job. No offense to anyone that does that as a back up, but thats not in my plan. Thats the bummer of it all I guess. When it all comes clear, the end of the world shows its ugly face. Sigh, of course our standard of living would eventually come back and bite us in the ass. :(

I'm damn hungry again! Nothing really new in life...I don't have much to share with myself. Just gym, books, and tv. What else could I possibly want?

Goodnight.
