Chapter One - 1.1 Diary of a Yaletown Girl ~ Lunch with Mr. Perfect ~ The IT Executive

On Friday, I had lunch with the CEO of a Vancouver based IT Consulting firm. Let’s call him Mr. Perfect, the Consultant.

Honestly, when I first met him five years ago, he was the perfect man ~Handsome, intelligent and generous. We first met at University of British Columbia where he was lecturing.

At the time, I was engaged to another Mr. Perfect so my intentions were honorable and purely for career guidance purposes.

Mr. Perfect, the Consultant, provided the following advice throughout our class:

• Network with successful people
~ Rarely does any executive turn down a lunch appointment

• Rather than having a “build it and they will come” mentality,
~ Just “pick the best blue prints and build it from there”

• Read what the experts are reading
~ Ask what they would recommend

Fast forward five years later, lunch advice with Mr. Perfect, the Consultant is as follows:

Time Management:
o When you have a family, you need to manage your work, life balance
~ 8 hours of work & professional development
~ 8 hours of family life & community
~ 8 hours of sleep, healthy & fitness
o You are single now, go full force in achieving your career objectives!

• Acquire Knowledge:
o Try to target two books per month
~ Someone successful wrote a road map to success, read their story and learn from their mistakes and successes

Goal: The Top 40 under 40 requires a combination of the following
o Be at the Director level in a large corporation
o Be a business owner
o Be a leader in your community
o Milestones must be set to achieve these goals

Today, my intention of meeting Mr. Perfect, the consultant, was not just to chit chat; it was to achieve the following:

Mentorship: You see, Mr. Perfect, the Consultant made it to the Top 40 under 40 in our City at the age of 35. This is a goal I want to set for myself. Given that we have similar career aspirations, we’ve work on the same projects (I’ve PM-ed a large project for a large insurance corporation, while he provided the 3rd party consultants), we were trained in the same profession, it’s a professional match made in heaven!!

Corporate Sponsorship:
o Ask if the Perfect Consulting IT Co. has a charity they support.
o Ask if there are swag/books that can be donated eg. autographed books from an author

o Propose an offer he can’t refuse:
~ Co-author in a book
~ Joint charity event

Results:

o After speaking to Mr. Perfect, the Consultant, about my fundraising initiatives for 2011 ,
I have uncovered the following:

Perfect IT Consulting Corp. supports BC Cancer every year; however, this is on a personal level. Mr. Perfect supports his close friend, who now has cancer of the eye. There will be a pub night charity event held in the distant City of Surrey in late January.

In an afterthought, I too am hosting a BC Cancer Charity event at the same time in the little town of Yaletown. I've made my “twin” charity event proposal to Mr. Perfect and he says he will speak to his friend and get back to me.

Next Steps:
o Since Perfect IT Consulting Co. is the top company in BC to provide monkey wiping services, I shall ask Mr. Perfect to accompany me to the Top 40 under 40 Dinner Gala.

Chapter One - 1.2 Diary of a Yaletown Girl ~ Can I have my cake and eat it too?

Okay. I’m in trouble. I’m definitely in La La land right now.

Life is good. I’m at the height of my career, friends in high places, a loving family and admiring eyes from handsome, powerful and successful men. My charming abilities have risen ten folds!

What woman can have it all and eat her cake too? I’m thinking about couple men I’ve met so far, some of whom I’ve known for a while and always fantasized about, others I’ve recently met.

Profile of Yummy Man #1 – Most feared, Director of Engineering
Gosh, the sound of his name instills fear within the organization. Every time I see his email signature, his name and the little Japanese character below it stating his title, oh so turns me on! Rob often makes trip to Japan every now and then, and having his title in Japanese was probably out of respect for the executives at head office.
I had a chance to meet with Rob last week while he was in town. Although he is not my boss, I secretly have always wanted to work for him because was definitely a leader. When I asked him about any potential openings available in his department, Robert told me that he had spoken to the Japanese execs and they have plans to bring in the professional consulting arm under his leadership in the next few months. What? Does this mean I get my secret wish of working for Rob? At one point, I looked into his beautiful blue eyes and saw something unexpected. I think he’s attracted to me. Lol. Damn.

Profile of Yummy Man #2 – Jackie Chan in a monkey suit
There is one thing I detest are women who gets involved with married/common law men. There’s a whole world out there with single and available men, so why would these women do this to themselves?

A couple of years back I met with TLo and she asked me for my opinion in something along the line of “There’s this guy that I like and he likes me too.” “However, he’s married and they are having trouble”. “He wants to leave her for me.” I told TLo back then that she should not get involved with the guy. It was not a good idea. Imagine this. How would you feel if you and your husband was working through issues and some “skank” showed up waiting at the door to run off with your man? What comes around will go around.

When I met Jackie, he had no ring on his finger. No pictures of wife nor kids on facebook...which is quite odd. Perhaps he’s recently separated but I know he’s not single. It’s been two weeks and he’s been as flirty with me as a little boy in a toy shop. I’ve made it clear to Jackie that I’m not interested in being a “home wreaker”. Too bad. He’s totally my type.

Life is a journey of experiences and a test of your moral being and I know one day, I too will be morally tested.

Chapter One - 1.3 Diary of a Yaletown Girl ~ Entering Jackie Chan

Euphoria in the love sector! I’ve been thinking about Jackie Chan. Don’t laugh, yes, Jackie. He’s probably the most unattractive Asian male actor on TV. But somehow, I can’t get him out of my mind! The funny thing is I have a few ex-boyfriends that I would consider to be celebrity look-a-like. I’ll let you know about Jackie Chan after.

First, it was MJ, who I was engaged to for a couple of years who looked like Superman (Christopher Reeves). Every time he enters a door, someone would shout, “hey, you look like superman” and he would be a little annoyed. Mind, you superman is quite handsome.

There’s also Mr. I’m the Best looking guy in Yaletown, who looks like Daniel Craig. Yes, the most unattractive of all the bond boys. Every time I see a bond movie with Daniel, I cringe.

Finally, there’s Mr. Perfect, who is a Keanu Reeves look-a-like. I didn’t realize how good looking he was until I saw him in plain day light, shirt off and all running on the seawall. Damn, that was a beautiful man. (Note to self: this is just from my memory and a bias interpretation, for all that I know, he might be more like Garry Shandling.)

Okay, back to Jackie Chan. For a couple of months now, I’ve been secretly attending Toastmaster. This particular club was unique, entertaining and not only were the members a handsome bunch, they are a really intelligent and career driven too! When I first joined, I looked across the room and saw a really sharply dressed Asian man who looked like Jackie Chan, but better looking. At first, I chuckled at it and then I found myself really attracted to this man since he exudes so much confidence. Also, you know what men in suits does too me! It turns out that this Jackie Chan was not of Chinese decent, but of Korean and he was an ex-US lawyer who had decided to go into business - corporate strategy and sales.

Jackie was an excellent speaker. Once, he delivered an inspirational speech of how his father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he coped with the situation by shaving his head to raise money for cancer. I believed Jackie raised $5000 in one month. At one part of the speech, it was so heart felt where he reached a dangerous emotional point, that I almost burst out crying. Since then, I haven’t really introduced myself to Jackie or vice versa. I find this to be a little bit odd since both of us are both very friendly people.

One day, I delivered my “Potential Prince William” Speech (see previous blog in September) as a humorous story to entertain my fellow TM. When I mentioned to my audience that my potential prince William was a Korean man with a UK accent, and it was “one in a thousand”. I looked at Jackie, and he shook his head and says “no”. Of course I ignored him and finished the funny speech.

Since then, people seem to remember the speech. The next week, there was an email sent out by the Toast Master of the week and he used me as an example to have an introduction connected to a name. For instance, “Sensational Shelly, who’s looking for a free spending, UK accented Korean man. I laughed at the email and jokingly respond – how about loyal, intelligent Korean man in addition to the free spending part. Lol. Guess what? That was the introduction I got when I volunteered for the "Ah counter" position the next day at Toastmaster. I was so embarrassed and avoided any Koreans that day including Jackie.

There was another club that grew out of the toastmaster club. This one was an entrepreneur club and a few members invited me to check it out. When I showed up the next day, Jackie was the host and chair. We said “hello” and I introduced myself to the other members. The next thing I knew, there was a sea of men, asian men. There were about 30 men and only 4 women. It turned out that most of the men were from Korea and they were sent over by work. SK, a major Telecom Company had sent their employees to Canada for 3 weeks to study English. When the Korean guy next to me told me where he came from and why, I thought to myself, well, that was odd. Then, I see Jackie at the front of the room looking at me and as I looked up, he says, “Shelly, I granted you your wish, you can pick and choose from all the Korean men here. hehe Great.

Chapter Two - 2.2 Prince William Re-visits

My girl Ms. Sunshine finally visited from Edmonton. She organized a girls’ dinner get together at the local Cactus Club. During dinner, we chattered about our relationships and goals.

One girl, Ms. Pretty, who I’ve met a couple of times before mentioned that she met someone new recently. However, she is still getting over this one guy whom she developed a relationship with six months ago. They met online and he had “disappeared” after their fifth date.

As she recalled, he had a perfect resume. Good career, doing his MBA, owned his place and is an Korean man with an English accent! However, Mr. Perfect resume started getting “busy” doing renovations on the weekends and then went on business trips. The calling then stopped.

My eyes lit up after hearing this. I then recalled previously that my potential Prince William mentioned that he did renovations on his days off. He even sews his own curtains.

I turned to Ms. Pretty and asked her if his name was William … Because if it was, I dumped that guy a week ago!

Ms. Pretty’s eyes lit up and the whole group turned toward me. Then, I asked her if he sings? She said “yes”. I told her that he sang to me on the first date, "did he sing to you too"? She nodded. All of us laugh.

Ms. Pretty mentioned that during their short lived relationship, she even had to ask Prince William to take down his profile picture off the online dating site. Prince William reluctantly complied.

To this day, Ms. Pretty was still figuring out what she did wrong to have Prince William disappeared on her like that. She says that she did notice that he was very particular about how his dishes get washed. For instance, that spinach leaves must be picked off of the plate before it goes into the dish washer.

One morning, the kitchen sink plumbing broke while Prince William was on an early morning conference call. William jumped up from his call and asked Ms. Pretty to stop washing the dishes. Eventually, William started doing renovations on the weekends and did not want Ms. Pretty to come over. Finally the trip to the east (Toronto) sealed the deal and Ms. Pretty never heard from William again.

So, what was the problem? I believed that Ms. Pretty was too nice and accommodating. Although Prince William seemed like a perfect potential boyfriend, Ms. Pretty needs to slow down. From my experience with meeting William, he could be very skilled at trying to convince a girl that he's perfect for her. Mind you, his specialty is in marketing and communications.

In my previous blog, I may not have mentioned how William wanted to do all these things with me...like traveling together, moving in together, finally finding someone he could connect with on an emotional level. All this on the first date. Too soon, too fast! Anything that comes in to quickly, runs off as quicker. My advice is too slow down and watch actions, not words.

If Prince William prefers to sewing his curtains on his weekend-off than to see Ms. Pretty, there is something wrong with that picture. He’s just not that into you.

My potential Prince William


Recently, I met Korean gentlemen with an UK accent - @ an Online dating site. An Asian man with an UK accent! That’s one in a thousand!

When we met for the first time, I thought to myself... we have lots in common and he has the perfect resume (Perfect age, MBA, Never married, No Kids, Owns his own place, Family oriented, Wanted to get hitch soon, etc...).

Furthermore he was so excited to meet with me...he even hinted that I should stop dating other people.

Let’s call him...William (as in my potential Prince William)

On our first date, we spent a couple hours walking the seawall. I felt a very good communication vibe from him. He’s not bad looking.
Plus...He even sings and plays the guitar!

After our walk, it was getting late. He had an interesting suggestion…he wanted to quickly drive home, call me on the phone and sing to me before ending the night.

I thought that this was weird, but sweet. So yes, at 11:30pm he called to “serenade me” to sleep.

The next day, William asked me on a second date ~ a bike ride around Stanley Park on a late afternoon.

Throughout our ride, he was excited to tell me about the various good deals that he stumbled upon online.

• A mountain bike worth $500 – He purchased for only $150
• $200 Rollerblades – He bargained down to $120
• Plus other the endless savings

After our bike ride, he asked me what my plans were for the evening and I told him I was going to grab a bite to eat. He then asked me if I was going to cook. I responded “No”.

Then, I thought to myself that if I was going to cook, then I would be a very good “online” deal. (lol..).

I then told him that he is welcome to join me for a bite if he liked. He hesitated a bit, but agreed to go along. So, off we went to a Sushi Restaurant nearby.

At the restaurant, William did three odd things.

• First - Although I specifically told him what I planned to order (seafood salad and a half futomaki roll), he wanted me to point out the items on the menu. (Price checking?)

• Second – He brought up a touchy topic especially for a 2nd date - finance & the future

Here, he declared proudly that he has money saved up for his wife (a wedding budget?), money saved up for the kids, money saved up for lots of rainy days…

William also added that he has purchased a home for his potential wife. However, there will definitely be a “No exit” clause attached to the marriage or else.. Oh, was he referring to “Prenup agreement”?

• Third – I noticed that William started texting on his blackberry from under the table

When I looked at him with curiosity, he assured me that he’s was not texting some other girl and he wanted me to guess what he was doing. I declined to guess.

And then I thought to myself, well, I know exactly what he was doing he’s either calculating the tips or balancing his checkbook!!

After we finished and left the restaurant, William started singing to me again…in public…

So, my question to you is “Did William get a 3rd date”? – Correct, the answer is “No”.

The lesson learned here is ...Guys, don’t move too fast or reveal your cards to soon or you will scare the ladies off.

Open relationships

Since...this is everyone's favorite article...I'm reposting it for your entertainment. Warning: It's nasty and not for the faint hearted...Enjoy!! Note: This is a fictional piece, so don't think that it's me!


Open relationship: is an agreement between 2 people to allow one another to see each other plus everyone else under the sun.

Benefits: both can dabble here and there until they build up their list and the guy/girl at the top of the list gets the best time slots (which is... whenever he/she wants kekeke).

Commitment: Of course the guy at the top of your list will always be the one you want and you always demand commitment from him, so, if that bastard doesn't commit to you, you give him time and wait until he's ready (either ready to commit to you or...ready to see you next time).

Think of it this way, one real cute girl is picking and choosing from 5 guys., she's sleeping with them and sucking them dry every night. She is an honest girl and tells them straight out that she has 4 additional lovers on the side. Sounds so romantic and adventurous doesn't it! :)

Scheduling:

Let's say she's you, and your effort on trying to get dates will correlate with how "HOT" the guy is. So the hotter the guy, the more time you invest in texting, calling and emailing him to come out and see you. The guy on the lower end of the totem pole gets the last minute booty call and less work is required. Get it? Good.

Now, let's assume that most people want to go out and date on weekends. That leaves Friday, Saturday and Sunday where we will pencil in our 5 guys. What happens if all 3 guys want to see you on Friday and you later find out that 2 of your premium guys are out on the town. Of course, you will seek to find out their where abouts and you get there as fast as you can before the other bitches gets to them! keke

Time slots:

At 5pm, the guy on your lowest totem pole is probably the sweetest and most innocent guy, so he's willing to make you a nice home cook meal. After the meal he plays his guitar and sings to you. You suck and swallow to thank him for his sweetness. He's busy, so you let him get back to work. Then, quickly, off you go to your next schedule date at 8pm.

At 8pm, guy #2 greets you with a passionate kiss. You forgot to wipe your mouth so there are some cum remnant from the last guy on the side crack of your lip. He licks his lip and ask you what chap stick you were wearing cause it doesn't work too well. You quickly excuse yourself to go to the bathroom to gurgle so he doesn't detect the cock breath. After drinks, you remember why you like him so much...it's because he has a HUGE cock! You agreed to a quicky and he cums into you nicely and it's a lot of yummy white cum. hehehe

By 10:30pm, you excused yourself to go see guy #3 at his place. You remembered that you loved guy #3 because he's sooo good with his tongue. He just loves eating pussy!! So as soon as you stepped in through the doors, he smiles and you know he's in for a nice treat! As he's licking and slurping he noticed that you are extra aroused and wet today. He loves it! And he loves the taste of your cum!!! Wait, wait...suddenly, there was a gush of white yummy cum flowing out of your vagina. He asked you why you're so wet? You're not a squirter, you're a gusher...then, you remembered that the excess cum must have belonged to guy #2.

Since boys never taste each other's cum, how would they know it's some other guy's cum? You tell guy #3 that you've been eating beans, so you probably taste weird down there. You apologize for the after taste and promise to drink more pineapple juice next time...hehe Guy #3 gets a dose of healthy protein and you are a satisfied woman. =)

By 11:45pm, you get a text from premium guy #4 responding to one of your texts saying that he's at home and if you want to come hang out and have a few drinks, it should be okay. You quickly excused yourself saying that you need to meet up with a girlfriend.

Premium guy #4 opens the door to let you in. Guy #4 is really good looking so you definitely want some action from this guy. However, he says he just want to hang and just be friends, nothing more and you are okay with that. Both of you drank and chatted like best friends and then your phone beeps. Finally!!Premium Guy #5 is in town! He's you're top man!!! You quickly call a cab and you get ready to run downstairs. You get to the door to leave and Guy #4 is now piss drunk...he looks at you in a weird way. This is now your chance to do Guy #4!! You quickly do a "bend over" pose and guy #4 drops your pant and sticks his dick into you. Damn! He can't feel a thing cause Guy #2 had a BIGGER dick. Guy #4 makes a quick maneuvers and stick it up your ass. Tight, much better...hehehe After 5 minute, he's done and you're off to see Premium Guy #5! Yippeee!!
