I'm Outie!

2011-08-24T11:22:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Sonal and I watched Clueless and commented on things we never noticed in the movie when we were younger. Looking back at this blog, I see my immaturity, my lack of willingness to want to grow up, and my fear of showing people who I really am for fear that they will not like me. I'm over that. I guess that means I'm done with this blog. Let me know if you want to know where I'm at now

I've been meaning to write.

2011-07-24T17:13:00.000-07:00

I just don't think I have the time anymore. I've been focusing on moving out and finding myself and finding a permanent job, so there isn't much room for me to be... well, me. Anyway, my lease expires in about 2 weeks so I've been packing quite a bit. On some days, when I really need something and I've realized that I've packed it, I kind of sit there contemplating whether or not I should dig it

im on my phone, so it looks like auto capitalization is kaput. i dont know how blogge rcan have such a hard to access html version of blogger on the phone, but they managed it. i guess that is what it is. should i be conscious of how i type things? oh well. im over uit. get you mind out of the grammatical gutter. im in the stream of consciousness mode so no contractions or apostrophes are needed.

What's in a Name?

2011-04-24T18:18:00.000-07:00

I googled myself today. The results were interesting. When I googled my last name before my first name, quite a few of my high school track & field and cross-country results showed up. Normally when I google myself (and I know it's narcissistic, but I do it for security reasons), I get my photography portfolio and links to my twitter. I was hit with a wave of nostalgia, but I guess that's to be

Secrets.

2011-04-17T20:28:00.000-07:00

Every time I broadcast that I'm happy something always comes back and bites me in the ass. Today was more of a mopey day than anything. I guess whenever I have high expectations for anything -- or expectations at all, I should just assume that they are too good to be true. I didn't get to go to the beach today, which made me sad. Not that I particularly like the beach anyway, but it's the

It's almost 11:11

2011-04-16T23:11:00.001-07:00

We're watching Gangs of New York and I'm very happy. "Water for Elephants" was a fantastic book, and I'm motivated to write something just as compelling. Til then, I'll just have to wait for inspiration to strike me. I should write more anyway. Thoughts to come!

Sleeping

2011-04-06T08:41:00.000-07:00

I think I slept awkwardly last night. My neck is sore and I'm trying not to move my head side to side, as the pain just shoots up every time I do. I haven't been sleeping much lately. I spent all of Sunday and most of Monday night reading Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" trilogy. Overall, there were three very well written books. I think I may have been over the age demographic - the words

I looked through the pictures on Jeff's phone today and forwarded a few to myself:

First Day? Success!

2011-02-22T20:35:00.000-08:00

I am in love. Original hand carved closet from Narnia. One of Disney's 32 Academy Awards! Dwarves holding up the corporate office! The man, the myth, the legend: ___________.

So excited for my first day.

So excited for my first day in Glendale!!

Picking up that pen once more.

2011-02-20T15:34:00.000-08:00

I guess it's not really a pen that I'm picking up this time around. Quite a few things have changed since the last time I've posted. My outlook on life was very dim for a while, but things have been picking up ever since. I finally found the courage to leave the job I was at for the last seven months. Though it was a fun environment, and though the culture is something I will miss very much, I

Dreaming of you.

2010-10-18T23:23:00.001-07:00

I’ve been having very vivid dreams lately. It’s frustrating me. I can’t sleep at night and all I can think about is you. I think about various ways that you’ve died. I think about how they could have saved you. I’ve seen elevators fall and watched as your life slipped away. We spent time in the rain and blistering cold and I watched your body deteriorate. I am haunted by you. I don’t know what I

Rest in Paradise.

2010-10-17T19:24:00.000-07:00

You were my first love. I remember our countless conversations on the phone. You made me actually appreciate talking to people. You opened my eyes to new things. To new appreciations, and new things. I truly loved you. For the longest time, you were the only person I thought of. Even when we stopped talking, I remember writing about you because you had left such a huge impression on me. I met

It's over.

2010-10-14T16:07:00.001-07:00

Sorry kids. No more reason to do this anymore. I'll blog intermittently.

Coping.

2010-10-03T19:48:00.000-07:00

I'm coping. I'm trying to cope, anyway. I went for a long walk today. It lasted about 2 hours and I found myself next to some nail salon, so I walked in and got a manicure and a pedicure. I haven't had my nails done since graduation. I made a promise after I got acrylics that I'd stop obsessing over my nails, and since then, I've been waiting to get my nails done. They're short now, but

2010-10-03T16:16:00.000-07:00

I think sometimes people think that a "sorry" cuts it every time. When it happens all the time, sometimes sorry doesn't work anymore. When people walk away from conversations, even unintentionally, it shows just how much you really care. The difference between you and me is that you don't know what it feels like to be disappointed over and over again. You don't know what it's like NOT to be taken

Day 230 of 365

2010-10-02T23:10:00.000-07:00

I received a bit of bad news today. To say the least, it was something that really really brought me down. I don't think I've been this sad in a while, but I guess when it rains, it pours. Today is a day for reflection and a day for remembering. Rest in peace.

Day 229 of 365

2010-10-02T22:08:00.000-07:00

Friday: I’m so mad at you I don’t even know what to say. I can’t tell if it’s because you ignore me or because you don’t appreciate anything I do for you. I hate this. I hate how everytime I try to do something, it gets overlooked. Fuck this shit. I get better treatment from people who don’t know me. Even strangers say bless you when I sneeze. You just keep your back toward me. You don’t

Day 228 of 365

2010-10-02T21:31:00.000-07:00

Thursday: Man. I'm so tired. The last day of the month meant long hours because all the stuff we were supposed to do during the month wasn't finished, and we had to catch up on everything. Steve bought me a half-dozen cupcakes from Yummy Cupcakes! <3 They were good.

Day 227 of 365

2010-10-02T21:27:00.000-07:00

Wednesday: Last day of the month! Today was one of my best days. I put my best foot forward and reaped the benefits! I made it :) Fuck what everyone else says. This is possible and I can do it. I still need to mail my letter to my Veronica. I miss her a lot.

Day 226 of 365

2010-10-02T21:22:00.000-07:00

Tuesday: AKP had their first rush event so I stopped to show support. Jeff yelled at me and glared at me for a good while because I was texting when I wasn't supposed to be. Jin and I sat outside and talked while I gave him a massage. He says that I should become a masseuse one day because I would make a lot of money doing so. The cleaners came by our branch and decapitated the charger to my

Day 225 of 365

2010-10-02T21:18:00.000-07:00

Massive update for all of last week. Apologies for not doing this sooner -- I've been really busy! I wrote everything down though, so time for the mini update. Monday night: After a really long day at work, the boys and I ended up going to watch football at JP's. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what happened in terms of who was playing who, but I got to play some pool. Our team lost horribly.

Day 224 of 365

2010-09-26T18:08:00.000-07:00

Today is Sunday! :D The weather has been acting up and I'm not too happy about it. It's been really hot. It never gets hot in Los Angeles -- that's why I chose to live here. Sigh. I hope it's not hot when I work tomorrow. I love the sun, but it's a little too much. Today has been a great day. I think sleep does wonders with me. Normally I sleep about 4 hours a night because I'm a early bird

Day 223 of 365

2010-09-26T17:47:00.001-07:00

Yesterday was a long day. I'm kind of tired of working on the weekends.

Day 222 of 365

2010-09-26T17:46:00.000-07:00

Friday: Friday was not really a good day for me. Some days are really good and other days are really bad. When I think too much about things, they all kind of go downhill. I think sometimes my efficiency in terms of productiveness depends on how well I work with others and how I feel that day. Anyway. Work was good. After work, we decided to play a few games... and went to a bar as a branch. I

Day 221 of 365

2010-09-26T17:30:00.000-07:00

I'm late. Thursday: I've been working quite a bit lately. I think it's starting to wear me out. I got a letter from a mysterious person today. His name was Jonathan, and he's in my friend Mae's class. She teachers up in San Jose. My heart leaped when I got the letter because I've been expecting it for a while. I'm not sure how old he is -- 12 or so? But the letter came with a drawing on the

Day 220 of 365

2010-09-23T01:27:00.001-07:00

All in all, today was a really good day. I got to sleep in late -- something I hardly ever get to do nowadays. It felt great. Went to BJs for soup and salad before making my way over to IKEA and returning the desk that I've hidden in my closet for the last three weeks. Headed over to Century City where I caught the showing of The Town -- great movie! and chilled for a bit before heading over to

Day 219 of 365

2010-09-22T13:24:00.001-07:00

I’m kind of pissed because I could be doing other things right now. Instead I am sitting around just waiting. I hate when you don’t listen to what I have to say. When you only take yourself into consideration. Granted, sometimes you think about me, but it always ends up to be about you. I get it. You’re very interested in yourself. But you don’t ever try to make accommodations. You don’t see what

Day 218 of 365

2010-09-21T11:20:00.000-07:00

I meant to write before I fell asleep, but I accidentally fell asleep before I intended on falling asleep. Oops. Oh well! My days have been passing rather quickly. I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm really excited! Lots of errands to run and lots of places to go. I am excited! I'm trying to get over this sickness but it's been pretty hard. Hopefully it'll pass.

Day 217 of 365

2010-09-20T00:20:00.001-07:00

Today was a great day! Short work day. Back to apartment. Cleaned for a bit. Accidentally fell asleep for a bit. Sister came. Watched Easy A. Surprisingly very good :) Dinner at Mongols.

2010-09-20T00:19:00.001-07:00

I've been really busy lately. Went out with Daddy for his birthday. He 's aging so much... Went out with sister. Target :)

Day 215 of 365

2010-09-18T17:29:00.000-07:00

For Friday: I spent most of this evening thinking about where I wanted to be in life and wondering if the choices I've made up until now have been rewarding in any way. I don't know what the outcome is yet, but I don't want to hope for the best and not get it. I guess I'll just expect the worst. Syl came over! We had fun.

Day 214 of 365

2010-09-18T17:16:00.001-07:00

For Thursday: all I do all day long is callback. Callbacks consist of following up and collecting -- always making sure that you're doing what you're supposed to be doing so that you and the company can get paid. Someone emailed me today and told me that my last check bounced when they tried to pay me. It looks like I might have some money coming in!!! Yayayayyyy. I love when unexpected money

2010-09-14T21:43:00.001-07:00

I know it’s not time yet, but I wanted to wish one of my besties, Anna Ho! a very happy happy birthday. I hope all is well in Japanland. I miss you. Come home so I can see you! I’m losing my voice. I don’t know if it is my immune system (which it always turns out to be) or if it’s just something that happened because I’ve been talking a lot lately. I doubt that it’s because I’ve been talking a

2010-09-13T22:57:00.000-07:00

So it turns out that yesterday, while I was building my bookshelf and happened to drop it on my foot, it didn't just result in pain for a good 3 - 4 hours. Instead, I ended up with a fatty bruise across my toes. It hurts and it's a deep purple - like it was bleeding under my skin and had no way of pouring out :( I'm so physically drained from moving. I think I need a little more time to get

Day 210 of 365

2010-09-12T22:35:00.000-07:00

I've been making a lot of lists - things I need to buy, places I need to see.. So many things to do and so little time! I'm really happy with my new living situation. I know, my moods change so often. I spent most of today building a bookshelf and then filling it with a ton of shit. My room is shaping up! Syl asked why I haven't posted pictures yet, but I don't want to post anything until I see

Day 209 of 365

2010-09-12T01:00:00.000-07:00

Things got a little better today as time took its toll. I found out some news today that I didn't want to hear, and that kind of set me in a funk. I think I'm still in it now, but I'm working on getting out of it. I'm officially moved out of Rieber Vista. Thanks for the 13 weeks you housed me! I'm sad I didn't get to spend much time with you. Unfortunately, this whole working thing is hard.

Day 208 of 365

2010-09-11T00:39:00.000-07:00

Curiosity is so fascinating. I think it drives and motivates us to do things to further that inability to quench our thirst for knowledge. I can't imagine what other people are thinking of if I have certain thoughts myself. I knew my happiness wouldn't last. It never lasts. I'm starting to worry about my friendships, keeping in touch, and my personal ability to maintain those relationships.

Day 207 of 365

2010-09-09T22:57:00.000-07:00

It's funny, because every time I sit down to write a post, I forget all of the ideas that I mean to write about and end up writing about my day instead. During the day, I always think about things to write. I'll jot them down on little post it notes, or I'll write it in my notepad, but by the end of the day, I'll get distracted and I won't know what to write. I'll lose those post-it notes and the

Day 206 of 365

2010-09-08T20:05:00.000-07:00

Home sweet home. That's what I tell myself when I get back to my room at night. I know that it's only temporary housing, but it's as much of a home to me as any other place of residence would be. I'm almost done with the first season of 24. I'm watching the season finale right now. It's so much more interesting than I thought it would be. I really enjoyed today.

Day 205 of 365

2010-09-08T00:08:00.000-07:00

It's time to sleep but I can't. I've been feeling listless lately. Rob and I had a talk a few weeks back about crises that we come across in life. He told me that he came across these situations often, and that sometimes, they couldn't be prevented. Sometimes when we don't see the future as something that can be pictured, we get worried about our abilities and what we can and cannot do. I

Day 204 of 365

2010-09-08T00:00:00.000-07:00

Oops. I meant to write yesterday too, but I failed to. Yesterday was a good day. I slept in and watched more of 24. I think I'm a little obsessed now. I've almost finished the first season. :( Some people are telling me that the show is really good, while others (namely, one person) says that the acting is horrible. You are too much against it. Hi, Henry! I haven't really had time to write

Day 203 of 365

2010-09-05T20:29:00.001-07:00

Sometimes the best things happen when you're somewhere you definitely shouldn't be.The plan for today was supposed to be just spending the day at Disneyland. But my luck changed and I did a variety of other things. I had lunch at White Water snacks. Apparently their nachos are to die for, but I'll stick with my grilled cheese sandwich.Somehow I ended up at IKEA and bought a new bookcase And desk.

I really meant to write yesterday but I've been so tired from work and whatnot that I haven't had time to really sit down and write a piece worth of reading. Yesterday was a nice day. Despite being on duty, I got to have dinner with Lee, Coki, and Lucy! I miss them all a lot and I was so happy to be around them again. Afterward, I kind of turned in early because I was tired. Today, I am going

!!! Day 200! Thats so exciting. I'm proud of myself, though I'm kind of sad that my pictures didn't last as long. I need to take more pictures of things. Work has been really fun. Tonight we had a regional happy hour, and I got to see a lot of people that I've been lucky enough to meet these past two months. We went to Q's Billiard House (I don't really remember what it was called) but I left

Day 199 of 365

2010-09-01T23:38:00.000-07:00

Definitely past halfway toward my goal. I may have not been super on top of the posting, but I managed to get a post in for each day of the past year. I'm proud of myself! Anyway. Today's post is short and sweet, as I am already in bed and ready to sleep. Work. Satellite location today. Lucy's Lunchbox. Duty. And... that's my life. :)

2010-08-31T23:24:00.000-07:00

I should be packing to move into my new apartment, but I'm just too tired to. I should really be sleeping now, seeing as I have work tomorrow morning... so I'll make this quick. Things have been picking up lately. I've been on this wonderful streak in terms of good luck. I hope it doesn't fall. I'm watching Good Will Hunting. I can't believe I haven't watched this movie yet. Today was a good

I've been having a ball lately. Forgot to post so I will post now. Yesterday was a relatively short day. Went to work but left early to attend our summer staff ttd. We met in the Hendricks turnaround and went to C&O by Venice beach. Soooo beautiful. We stuffed ourselves full of garlic balls and dined on Cesar salad and 2 kinds of pastas. Dessert was the best part. I think the brought us the

Dear Bettydactyl,When I am free, I would also like to run into you! I miss you a lot.Sometimes I get sad knowing I have to work weekends. But today was a short workday so the disappointment didn't last. I finally satisfied the huge craving that I've been having for cupcakes. I went to sprinkles and crumbs and then went to the beach to enjoy the multitude that I had acquired, but ended up only

Day 196 of 365

2010-08-29T00:21:00.000-07:00

I thought today wasn't going to be so great, but it was. Despite the fact that I had to work, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, I'd say it was one of the better days of my life. My ears are ringing. It's that great feeling you get after a concert. Sure, it's detrimental for your ears, but it's satisfying nonetheless. Up until five minutes ago, I was really happy. I got to see my favorite

2010-08-27T17:10:00.001-07:00

I'm at the Le Merigot waiting to get picked up.I hate fighting. It's one of the worst feelings in the world, where you want so much to be right, all the while knowing that you should admit to being wrong to stop it all.I said a few things I shouldn't have today. I was really frustrated. But what am I supposed to do? Sit and idle? I can cease our conversations or I can keep on going, but I guess

I'm at the Doubletree waiting for someone to pick me up. I have seven cookies in My lap. I'm resisting the urge to eat them all. I've been so tired lately and this morning I came to a realization as to why: I've been concentrating too hard on solely one thing. My job. I'm having such a great time that I've been avoiding everything else!I need to start focusing on other things.Anyway. I came upon

2010-08-26T07:03:00.001-07:00

I’m so tired. I’m in the process of looking for new shoes ☺ Some people say that I have too many shoes, but you can never tell a woman that she has too many shoes. She’ll just go out and buy more. I have so many things to do. My room is a mess and I don’t think I’ve cleaned in a while. Poor room. I’m moving out soon too.

Day 192 of 365

2010-08-24T21:09:00.001-07:00

I woke up this morning thinking that I wasn’t as tired as I thought it was, but my immune system told me otherwise. I sneezed all the way to work and then continued to sneeze until my tissue box became empty. That was kind of disappointing. My coworkers asked me why I got sick so often. Sorry, immune system. You’re a little too weak for me. During my lunch break today I went to CVS and got One

2010-08-23T22:22:00.005-07:00

Monday: I woke up this morning after feeling the effects from the last three days catching up to me. I think work was one of the worst experiences I’ve had to endure in a really long time. Duty tonight seems excruciatingly long, but it’ll be done in an hour or so. Good night for now ☺

Day 190 of 365

2010-08-23T22:22:00.001-07:00

Sunday: Surprisingly enough, this day is the haziest. We spent most of Sunday cleaning up the hotel room and checking out. We had dim sum in Chinatown before we all left. Traffic was horrendous on the way back. It took about 3 hours to get to Baker. But as soon as we got past the mannequin with the black and purple parachute, traffic cleared up immediately and we got back a little while after.

2010-08-23T22:21:00.001-07:00

Saturday We all got up at 10 (unfortunately) and I got to try Canter’s Deli for the first time. Edwin kept telling me that the food was good there and I had to try it. Normally I don’t like Pastrami (the spices kind of freak me out) but this time around, the food was so good. The fries were probably the best thing about the meal. Anyway, so we gambled a little bit and I got to experience

Apologies for the failure to update! I’ve been out of town and busy these past few days. But I’m excited to let you know how my weekend went ☺ Friday: I’ve never rented a car because I always thought I wasn’t old enough. Nonetheless, my first car rental commenced Friday morning when I showed up to Enterprise and picked up a hybrid for my trip to Vegas! I haven’t been since… last year when I

2010-08-19T00:02:00.000-07:00

I am not happy with you. I feel like you're putting me in the position where you won't let me think for myself. You're making all of my decisions for me and you won't let me do what I want to do. I'm tired. I'm restless. I can't take all of this pressure anymore. I've been dealing with stress this whole week and I'm tired of it. I've worked these past 13 days straight. Every morning I wake up

2010-08-17T19:08:00.000-07:00

Today was a nice day, although full of work. I had training this morning and then we all went out to lunch at Truxton's. mmm. The burgers there are so good. Had ORL meetings afterward. Time to catch up on sleep.

2010-08-17T18:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a nice day. Steve took me out to Tacos Por Favor for lunch, and I grubbed on chicken soup and a chef's salad. It was so good. After lunch, more work, and then home! I did my laundry, my sister came with Phil, and we went to BBQ chicken. Soooo good. I'm such a fatty now. all I do is try new restaurants. <3

2010-08-15T23:44:00.000-07:00

I am seriously an old person now. It's 11:30 and my eyelids are feeling heavy. Granted, I've been awake for the last 20 hours, but it makes me sad that I can't stay up past midnight even when I want to. I think it might have to do with my bed too. Every time I jump into it, I feel like there's an invisible little sand timer thing that counts down the minutes before I fall asleep. Today was a

2010-08-15T17:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a long day. I'm pretty sure I had about 4 meals. I can feel this weight attaching itself to my love handles. Sadface. I worked until around four before trekking over to Santa Monica Place to check it out. The traffic is horrendous. There are a lot of people. Afterwards, we went to Noodle Planet to have dinner. It was all right. The walk back was pleasant.

2010-08-15T16:59:00.001-07:00

I've been looking forward to a day without work, but this weekend I've been working quite a bit. Friday night I ended up grabbing dinner at Corner Bakery right before they closed. I love that place. The little things get to me. And the hazelnut coffee is to die for. mm.

Day 181 of 365

2010-08-12T01:42:00.000-07:00

A lawyer gave me his number yesterday and asked me if he could take me out to dinner. That was pleasantly surprising. I'm finally going to sleep level headed after a few days of rocky roads. I can't help but to feel awkward around certain people.

Day 180 of 365

2010-08-11T00:40:00.000-07:00

I'm making so much progress at work. So many new responsibilities. I can't tell if they're making me do a lot of things because I can handle them or because I'm the only girl in the office that can probably do the tasks. I'm seeing in doubles now. My vision is foggy. I'm sleepy. and Frustrated.

Day 179 of 365

2010-08-09T22:43:00.000-07:00

Two new people showed up at work today. They remind me of when I first started. One month later, I have so many more responsibilities! I'm happy with my job but learning to cope with different things that I'm not used to. I need to stop going to Lucy's Lunchbox. (But it's sooooo good!) I need to be more proactive. I need to make more lists! Scrapbook! Duty again tonight. So sleepy.

Day 178 of 365

2010-08-09T22:30:00.000-07:00

I definitely thought I posted yesterday, but I guess not. I tried out Tokyo Shabu Shabu, but I don't think I'll be going there ever again. I'm pretty sure I could buy all the supplies AND the hot pot and the total would STILL be lower than how much we had to pay for yesterday's meal. I drove back to UCLA pretty early and had plans to go shopping but they fell through. Duty completed my night.

Day 177 of 365

2010-08-08T17:27:00.000-07:00

I'm getting really lazy in terms of posting. Most times, when I get home, I don't have the energy to write up a little blurb. I wish I had a machine that would just record my thoughts and post what I told it to. I spent most of yesterday doing nothing. After lunch at Socko's and a little treat at Diddy Riese, I drove home and spent some time with my parents. I ended up going to Disneyland for

Day 176 of 365

2010-08-06T23:49:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a great day, but I think today was even greater. Yesterday was swimming, Up In The Air, shopping, and fooding. Today was... the grand opening of Santa Monica Place (which I still have yet to see.) -- THere was traffic all over the place today. Today also included cat calls and phone calls. Drove to Jason's, picked up Sonal, Jin, and Jason. Drove to Rosemead and then to

2010-08-05T16:03:00.000-07:00

My hair is so long now. I'm happy! It looks healthy. I've been watching Modern Family a lot lately. It's fairly amusing. I can see why a lot of people like the show. Anyway. Today is my day off! It's the first one I've had in about 11 days. I should be sleeping in, but I've been so distracted that I can't. Also -- since I'm on this set schedule of waking up every morning at 6, I woke up

2010-08-05T11:08:00.000-07:00

Forgot to post yesterday. I've been really busy. So tired! But after work I drove home and got to spend time with friends. Went swimming. Then went grubbing :( and then I fell asleep. Oops!

2010-08-04T00:17:00.000-07:00

The last hour of my day was ruined because apparently I couldn't manage my time well. I'm so tired. This is my ninth day straight of working. No days off. Overtime all the time. I hate not being able to keep up. I can see why people show signs of stress so early after they enter the working world. I had to leave early today because I had to go to our ORL Meeting. Fortunately enough, we were

2010-08-04T00:04:00.000-07:00

Monday: I'm sorry that I haven't been on time with all of these. Ive been working consecutively for the last 8 days and I've been so tired. I think my life is just work now. All I do is leave in the morning and come back at night and fall asleep. I finally talked to my sister for the first time in like 3 weeks yesterday. a full on conversation. I don't think we've had that in almost 6 months

Day 171 of 365

2010-08-01T23:08:00.000-07:00

Given the conditions of everything that has been happening these past few days, I don't think I can complain. I'm really happy. I am constantly surprised by the wonderful things that people do for me and the lengths they are willing to go to make me happy. It shows that the hard work I've done has finally paid off. This morning I dealt with German tourists and their quest to find the Griffith

2010-07-31T17:47:00.000-07:00

I'm about to work my first full weekend. I'm not really sure I am a fan of this, but I guess it'll have to do. Work today made me really tired. It was supposed to be 9 - 3, but it ended up being 830 - 4. I was kind of irritated because I didn't get to eat until 4. I was supposed to leave at 345 at the latest, and a mistake at one of the hotels forced me to stay later. I had to practically drive

2010-07-31T17:44:00.000-07:00

Friday: Work again! I had lunch at Fritto Misto. It's so good. We got lasagna and shared it because it was too big for individual portions. Then Vanilla Bake Shop for my favorite! cuppycakes! I have a huge Mrs. Fields cookie in my room that I need to eat. Any help? :) Work some more. Then Flame Broiler! It's the new place inside Stan's donuts. I haven't had donuts in a long time, but the

I haven't written in a few days, so it's time to update! Thursday: Work all day before I got to grad dinner at Bella Pita. I had never been there before, but I was pleasantly surprised. Their pitas were so good! They don't need any additional things. Then again, I like bland stuff soooo I might be wrong :D

2010-07-28T23:57:00.001-07:00

Today was really long. Went to corporate today for orientation. Got a 5% pay increase! yeah yuh. Went to C&O. Got Chicken Florentino with mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. Sooooo good. Went back to work. Home.

Day 166 of 365

2010-07-27T22:46:00.000-07:00

Today was an interesting day. I got transferred and learned a lot of new things. Some guy tried to give me his number but he wasn't smooth. I miss my friends from home. I am a way better driver than I was a month ago. My 30 day eval made me sad. I will work harder and try more.

Day 165 of 365

2010-07-26T00:05:00.000-07:00

I don't think I ever stress enough just how lucky I am. My friends are great. My family is wonderful. And this weekend has been nothing short of awesome. Kimberly, Jesus cakes soon! I'm still trying to get the hang of working so many hours a week. I hope you don't mind jesus cakes for dinner! I keep thinking that I am sleep deprived, but I've slept enough this weekend. I think it's just that I

"What makes you different makes you special." I sure hope so. Considering that I'm nothing like the average person... Today was a really good day. I got home at 4 in the morning after being disappointed by Salt and slept until it was practically noon today. Actually, that's a lie. My body is so used to getting up early in the morning, so I naturally woke up at 7. I got to spend the whole day

Day 163 of 365

2010-07-24T11:28:00.000-07:00

I missed yesterday's post, so here it is: People really aren't joking when they say that summer is the best season to be in. Everything is just so much more relaxed, despite the load that people have. Working these 70 hour weeks have been killing me. I can't decide if I want to hang or if I want a new job. Everyone is fun. Unlimited DoubleTree cookies. I don't know if I could ask for more.

2010-07-22T18:19:00.001-07:00

I'm so far behind in everything in my life. It's time to play catch-up. I want to start writing and reading again. But first! Cleaning and getting rid of the stuff I know I will never use or should not be using. Today I had a half day. I'm so rested. I need to train myself to do p90x again. :) For now, cleaning timeeeee! I'm so excited. Don't make fun of me.

Day 161 of 365

2010-07-22T00:31:00.000-07:00

I went to sleep crying this morning. I don't think I got much sleep. But things are all better now. I can't wait until Santa Monica Place opens on August 6th. It's right by work :) I think I am sick. At first I thought I had the snifflies because I've been crying but my throat is sore and I can't breathe. I'm gonna start taking meds tonight.

I slept the full 8 hours yesterday and I felt so great today. But the day quickly turned around.

Day 159 of 365

2010-07-19T21:17:00.000-07:00

Today was kind of a shitty day. I don't think I've ever really been a fan of other people. In fact, I hate people. They have germs and they make me sick and I just don't like them. But nonetheless, I love talking to people. I love networking and making connections. I love talking. That's just me. There was a customer today that was rude and condescending. I cried for a while before I felt

Today Amanda Weldy became Amanda Boyd, and I was fortunate enough to be a part of it all! This morning my sister and I had dim sum and caught up. We went to Forever 21 (the huge one in Montebello) and I bought a dress for Amanda's wedding. Then I drove to Amanda's wedding! There was a truck that flipped and blocked three lanes, but I don't think anyone was hurt (thankfully). The bride was

It's really creepy when your friends who where you are at and who you are with without your telling them. Today was kind of a shit day and ended up on a really good note. I worked from 830 - 4. It sucked. So many customers and only half the staff. People yelled at me on the phone. In person. But others were nice. I met Vlade Divac. He's huge. Very nice. After work I headed back to the 626 and

Inception was such a great movie. I was thoroughly surprised and definitely want to watch the movie again just so I can figure it out some more. I'm still tired. I have work in about 5 hours. sigh.

2010-07-15T00:21:00.000-07:00

I'm so tired, but the day is finally over, so I'll get to take a break until... well, 6 hours from now, when I have to get up and go to work. Dinner at Ruth's Chris was good. Apparently there was a fire in the area, and the power went out, so we were lucky enough to dine in the only restaurant on the block with a back up generator. So many leftovers. Went to Jason's afterward and played

2010-07-15T00:19:00.001-07:00

Jeff's actual birthday meant work for me and play later during the day. We went to Jason's after I was off and ended up walking to Maloney's, where the was really long. Went to In-N-Out to satisfy the craving we had, and then over to Brew Co. Happy birthday, Jeffrey!

Day 152 of 365

2010-07-13T00:45:00.000-07:00

I'm so tired. I just got back from Chino. Today was such an interesting day. It passed by so quickly. The incident on Temescal Canyon Road and PCH was... interesting to say the least, and the man who asked me to roll down my window looked nothing like the man of my dreams. After work, dinner with Omar. Then we surprised Jeff for his birthday :)
