Protected: I quit!
Monday, February 1st, 2010Oh crap!
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Sorry, for sort of disappearing and not blogging for months now. This is probably the longest that I’ve gone without actually blogging. I usually try to blog once a month when I’m busy, but in the back of my mind, I’ve been trying to avoid looking at my site due to guilt of not blogging. ANYWAY, so I’m going to try to blog more often. And like always a lot of things happened to me in the past….2-3 months of non-blogging. I guess I’ll just list the major things because I can’t remember them all. *looks through twitter*
….2 minutes later….
hm…suddenly, some events don’t seem significant to me anymore. You can read my twitter if you care.
So I’ll just type whatever’s on my mind. First of all, I got a new job. Well, another job. It pays a little bit better, it’s 5 minutes from home, and I love it there. As for my old job, I’m only working there 2 days out of the week. I still love books and I love my discount so I can’t seem to quit. Plus, this way, I do get paid weekly.
I actually had to get another job because my bookstore job does not give me enough hours to cover some of my bills (I’ve been going on a shopping spree in the past couple of months). I wish I could work full-time, but school and other obligations are preventing me from doing so. It’s not like 2 part-time jobs are better, but I can work around it versus a full-time job, where it’s a bit harder to do so.
In other news, I got a new phone. It’s an iPhone. Though, I still have my old one because my Verizon contract is not up for a year or so. Anyway, reason why I got the iPhone is because I constantly find myself needing to use the internet, but can’t access that because my mom doesn’t want to pay for it. So I secretly got another phone for the internet. Surprisingly, I use both phones equally, as we all know, AT&T have really bad service in certain areas and Verizon is covered everywhere. Oh, and my iPhone plan doesn’t give me a lot of minutes. In fact, I find them subtracting my nights and weekends minutes whenever I call my boyfriend, even though, we’re suppose to be mobile-to-mobile…So, I don’t call with my iPhone a lot because of the minutes. Then due to the extra $100/month for the phone, I really could use that second job. It’s more expensive to be on an individual plan, but I don’t trust my sister to pay her half of the bill if we go on a family plan.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but for the past 3 months, I find myself buying A LOT of stuff: make-up, purses, clothes, food, random things…etc. I don’t know if it’s because of the credit cards I have or the new job, but I’m trying to control that because it’s getting out of hand.
I’m tired, I’ll blog more later.

Monday, July 6th, 2009July is here!
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Okay, so I’ve been super busy in the past 2 weeks–last week was a nightmare! Summer class started last week. God, it’s only 2 days a week, but it’s sooo tiring. My class is at my old university, which is an hour away. So I have to wake up at 4:30-5am in order to take the 6 am bus for my 8 am class. Then I have to take the bus back after class. I just sleep both ways. Though, in a wierd way, riding the bus relaxes me.
So the end of June went by better than what I’ve expected. My friend told me that her boss gave my resume to HR so they will be calling me in for an interview. When? Who knows! It could be this week or some time this month. Damn! I want to start the job now. I really, really want to quit my current job. Everyday that I go to work, I hate it more and more. I liked it more when I was only working one day a month, but that was because I had another job. Anyway, I guess I have to stay until I get another job. I recently started using my new credit card and I have to pay it off because interest kicks in.
So I’ve been tagged by Bev.
10 Things You Don’t Know About Me:
- I lie to get out of trouble. I mostly lie to my parents because they are annoying with their questions and comments. I’m 23 and I still have to lie about where I’m going or what I’m doing. Sad.
- I have to sleep with either the radio or the TV on at night. I can take naps without anything on, but when I sleep at night, one or both have to be on. The radio must be on a station that plays rock, hip hop, and/or R&B. The TV must be on a channel that I would watch when I’m awake. If it’s on something that I usually don’t watch, it kind of bugs me. My brother is the same way. My sister sometimes.
- I enjoy staying home and doing nothing. However, only when my mom is not buging me.
- I like to go window shopping and just walking around the mall alone. I find that I can try on clothes and buy things without being judged by my friends or parents.
- I like reading romance novels, specially the ones with Navy Seals or Marines. They’re hot!
- I have contacts, but I rarely wear them because I’m too lazy.
- I always do things at the last minute. My mom hates it when I do that, but I just get so lazy.
- Whenever I would get a new toy (i.e. camera, ipod, etc), I always buy a case and/or a bag for it. I would barely use it at the beginning because I don’t want it to break and I HATE letting other people handle it.
- I have a disease. I like to buy things that I don’t need just because I want them. This happens every month.
- I have to hug a pillow when I sleep. If I don’t have a pillow between my legs, I take forever to fall asleep. My brother and sister are the same way.
Okay, when I have to do some pre-reading for my lab tomorrow. Apparently, it’s going to be a long one. *sigh*
My luck is changing…?
Saturday, June 20th, 2009Life update!
May was a sucky month and it went all the way until June. However, in the past few days, things were starting to look up. It’s not exactly good, but it’s better.
For starters, I’m going to be getting the money I need to pay for my summer classes and for the Fall. However, I don’t know when the money will show up on my account. It said 24-48 hours from yesterday so today or Monday? I just hope it goes through smoothly and I don’t run into any problems with it. *cross fingers*
Then I wrote a letter to my manager (the one that I think hates me), asking if I can go back to being part bookseller and part barista and she said yes. Surprise? Yes, I was! Anyhow, I guess she doesn’t hate me that much. Is that a good thing? Too early to tell. Oh, so I thought I was in the clear with her when I saw my work schedule for next week. She gave me 4 days, but 2 of those days, I have classes. I’ve given her my new availability weeks ago. She probably forgot so I wrote her another letter. I still don’t know if she changed it. I seriously cannot work. Great!
In addition, I’m going to start volunteering next week in the hospital’s pharmacy. Well, maybe the week after that, but soon. I’m kind of excited because I really could use a good recommendation letter from the Senior Pharmacist. That would look great for my application. Too bad I started too late, but that was because it took forever for the Pharmacist to contact me. It took a whole damn year!
Also, the other day, I got this text from my friend who works at the job that I want to get a position at. It said, “My boss wants to know if you can still work” or something like that. I told her yes, but she hasn’t said anything since so I don’t know. Yeah, I don’t really care anymore.
I got a TB screening because it’s require for volunteers and I’m negative. But I have high blood pressure. I’ve never had high blood pressure before. WTF!
See how there always bad news along with good news.
In other news, I went to the outlet and got another Coach bag. Haha! Yesterday was payday so I went and got myself a present. I’m not as broke as last summer. God, I only had $50 in the bank last summer because I barely worked.
