So at work ... my boss asks me to read this manual that is written in japanese and have to understand it ... Great ... my japanese skill is at about 5th or 6th grade level. Also i havent been using it the past 8,9 years ... doesn't help much. The damn language is ... so hard!! all the characters and stuff ... Wah!! i know. Well gotta do what I gotta do. Just think about the money right? I should've asked for more lol. I am hanging in there tho. |

| A month training at the new job |
[Dec. 3rd, 2005|09:36 am] |
I have a month training at the new job and I just finished the 3rd week. 3 weeks of facotry working is really harsh and especially if you're small like me ... my feet are aching, my back ... everywhere. Also it doesnt help that i have to be there at 7am. Next week should be better; I have to be there at 8:30.
My new place: I am living in this studio apartment. It is an ok size since I am the only living thing in this room. I wanted to get a roommate and live in 2bdrm and such for cheaper rent ... but the hassle of looking for a roommate and dealing with problems i might have with her was not that appealing. Plus I was nervous with the new job and all. I pay $855 per month for this place ... just think I'm paying for my sanity sake and hope that I will get a raise eventually. Well ... I shouldn't really rely on that raise part. Anyways, I'm slowly accumulating the necessities in life: computer, refrigerator, a dining table, computer desk and a bed. I got the two tables from IKEA, it was fun building it ... except for the cutting my palm from trying to open thenew set of screwdrivers-that-were-packed-so-no-one-can-get-to-them. Finally got my computer few days ago after the UPS guy came to my place 3 times when, of course, I wasnt at home. The fridge ... i told the managers that the delivery personnel have my permission to enter my apartment, but the delivery peeps somehow bypass the the office and got to my apartment. Since I wasnt home, they left. I'm just glad that I didnt buy whole bunch of groceries before i found out that I didnt have the fridge yet. So they're coming back on Sunday ... *sigh* I should've left a note or something ... In Davis, fridge came with the apartment ... but i guess this is not the case for Anaheim. As for the bed, right now I'm sleeping on the air mattress that I was using in sophomore year in college. I don't mind sleeping on it, but I think it has a hole *cry* Thats the next thing to buy when I have some extra money.
I think I'm going to explore Anaheim and get the oil changed on my car today. cya! |

| Early Thanksgiving dinner :) |
[Nov. 6th, 2005|08:37 pm] |
Yesterday we had our 2nd annual Mock Thanksgiving Dinner. This time, however, the turkey was COOKED!! Well Jessica got smaller turkey this time ... 13lb as oppose to 20lb we got last year. As always my eyes are bigger than my stomach ... I was stuffed ... more stuffed than the turkey was ... lol. The mess we made ... was very scary. It was like nightmare so I went to bed hoping that the nightmare would go away.
I woke up this morning ... the nightmare was still there. Damn ... thought the dishes will willingly go into the dishwasher.
So I'm down in san diego again. the apartments I was looking at didnt want me b/c i was over qualifed ... bastards(tried for somewhat low-income housing). So now I have to dish out half of my paycheck ... oh well, at least I'll have sanity ... dont have to deal with roommates and such. Tho people i live with right now are really cool, and I'm sad I'm leaving them. But now ... I can walk around naked!! whoo hoo ... lol j/k.
Well, I gotta go. I'll try to update again before I leave for Davis. |

| Halloween |
[Nov. 1st, 2005|02:28 am] |
Yes ... I understand that I am 23 years old ... but hey it was FUN! What am I talking about? I went trick-or-treating with my house-mates, roommates, peeps i live with (whatever). lol and of course with my ability to procrastinate until the last minute ... I waited til the last minute to think up of my costume. I was thinking of dressing as a little devil that I am. I still have that "I bite" T-shirt I got from Shira. All I needed was a pitchfork, a tail and red horns. I walked around Davis downtown ... but found none. So I started to think with the stuff I have ... my choices were: 1. stressed UCD student, 2. a pedestrian, and 3. a mime. the student thing was over done ... unoriginal and same with the pedestrian idea. As the clock was ticking, I liked the mime idea more and more ... I dressed in black and the girl I live with had one of those halloween make up kit and so i borrowed some of that to paint my face white with black lips and a black tear drop. For being last minute ... I think my costume was great. Being a mime ... I couldnt say "trick-or-treat" so i carried a white board with me that said "Trick or treat ... There I said it! Thank you" I felt bad that I couldnt say "thank you" .. but i bowed .... hoping that that would make it up ... lol It was hard not talking for hours. It was also hard when I couldnt get my point across ... felt like i was stuck in game of pictionary.
Jenkins dressed up in black pants, white shirt, a tie with a helmet and a backpack ... Most davisites would understand what he was dressing up as ... He was a Mormon ... lol In Davis, we have these two Mormon students riding their bikes going from one house to another to "spread the word" thing ... I'm sure if there were such thing as hell ... jenkins would go straight there ... taking me along with him and this whole household.
Oh when I figure out how to post the picture, I will do that ... |

hey i'm still around breathing. just as i predicted tho ... i dont update this journal that often lol. might be better about it if i get a laptop or something. one pc to play the game ... the other to surf the net. that's really practical. anyways, i'll try to update this thing once a month or something. |

Yes ... I'm in Japan once again. I'm here in search of a 'real' job ... I will find one ... I'm pretty sure, but I don't want to live here. jenkins is panicking that we will fall apart. I thought about taking him with me, but what the hell is he going to do here? I rather have him get his degree so at least he has something. he believes that long distance will hurt our relationship. I'm not a big fan of it, but I think we can do it. well, as long as both of us are in it. He's imagining things that might happen and stuff and making himself sick ... and that is worrying me. any suggestions? if anyone is reading this lol
as for life in japan right now ... its very humid, not so hot which is good. i rather be in davis with jenkins. the idea of extending my stay in japan is not so exciting either ... the reason is that i have to go through some interviews and stuff ... ugh
nothing else to say ... |

Here's the other story ... (*gasp* ... i see a spider ... must kill it now before it kills me ...
dammit it got away.)
Now, 2,3 days ago I had to drive this crappy ass company van. there is a lift gate on the back, but its broken so it is held up with this strap... the sliding door is off the track so it is tied with this towel using the sliding door handle and the front passenger side door handle. I had to pick up two events from two different area on the campus with this crappy van. both events had a lot of heavy crap. The very first lesson you learn when you work in a place where you lift stuff a lot is lift with your legs, not your back. I know I'm short but I cant stand up straight in the van. So I was basically hunched over to move stuff around. (not really comfortable if you ask me) that took about an hour ... had to go back to the unit clear the van out and take two caters to the big event at Mondavi. supervisor asked us to get coffee, decaf, and hot water for the event and some coffee cups because we were short some. I had to close the passenger side door for them because i had to tie it to hold the sliding door in a closed position. being a good driver that i am ... going at speed limit, stop completely at stop signs etc. I made a left turn which was too fast for the beverages' liking ... the hot water container tipped over, heard some liquid splashing (shit) ... stopped the van, untied the towel, open the sliding door and SPLASH/ BAM ... ... ... lost all coffee, hot water and decaf ... and the FREAKIN' SLIDING DOOR CAME OFF!!! it wasnt completely off, but it came off ...
Now, i've been through a lot with this company ... and i think that was the semi-last straw. before my day ended, i went into the office and got the resignation paper. i havent turned it in yet cuz i need another job in line before i quit. but i would love to quit right now. i'm so freakin' tired of this place. i'm going insane ... lol oh wait i never had sanity.
when i got home, i tried to pick something off the floor and my back got this shooting pain sensation when i bent over ... so ... i hurt my back doing heavy duty stuff in that freakin' crappy van.
oh i didnt read over this so if there was some part that doesnt make sense please tell me and i'll fix them. |

| Hi |
[Apr. 23rd, 2005|12:26 pm] |
Hey Adrian! thanks for the lovely letter you've sent me the other day. You shouldn't waste your precious fountain pen ink on lil' ol' me ... just regular ball point pen will suffice lol. Well a lot has happened since the past post.
I've told the person who schedules me to work the magical words "schedule me all you want" ... I average 35 to 37 hours a week in work ... which is good, but I'm part-time so I dont get benefits. with that many hours and with my accident prone-ness I am bound to get into accident. And I did. I was moving this rack full of food with other heavy stuff on it ... (rack was faulty too) I tugged it too hard, started to tip over. I thought "hey it just started to tip, so I can just push it back up" WRONG!! ... it was too heavy and I couldnt push it back up with my mighty 100 pound-ness. I tried to get away, but I couldnt get my leg out of the rack's way. so ... CRASH ... it fell on my leg. All i could do was to wimper "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow ..." somebody asked me "are you okay?" ... lol my supervisor's response was "Of course she's not okay" somewhere in my mind, i was laughing. some one got ice to ice down my leg and i was carried away from the site ...
That night, I found a bruise the size of my palm ... another bruise the size of a golf ball and another small one where the rack landed. couple days later I went to the doctors to see for any fractures. no fractures (thank goodness) and was back on my feet to work. that was no fun. the accident was 13th or 14th.
I have one more story to tell, but i'll save it for next time ... keep all ya'll wondering ... and i'l probably tell it to you next month lol |

Hey gang ... I'm still alive. somewhat. I'm taking it real easy now that i'm graduated ... when I really shouldn't be ...
Ok so a quarter of no school has gone by which was great ... but just because i didnt have school didnt meant that I work that hard either. a bit low on money, but somehow barely making enough to pay bills. Job hunting sucks. They want experience ... well ... how the hell am I suppose to get experience when people dont hire me? Catch-22 right there.
So what have I been doing if I'm not in school and if i'm not working that hard ... devoting my time and soul to the online game ... I think I've sold my soul the day Jenkins made a characer for me ... yes its all his fault ... not mine. not having the will to quit doesnt count.
Now that I'm out of school, I seem to be more unstructured ... dont check my e-mail as often, forget what day it is ... basically lazy. i need to go read a book or something ... get out of the house. do something with my brain or else its going to turn into a mush ... oops too late.
I will try ... TRY ... to post update as much as possible, but nothings really happening so there's nothing to update ... i guess i'll post that i'm alive or something. Oh and Adrian's birthday is coming up too. what do u want? yes i remembered your b-day and no i didn't look at your journal to remind myself.
anyways i must go back to gam.... i mean go to sleep now. talk to you later :) |

| I AM GRADUATED!!!! |
[Dec. 23rd, 2004|04:06 pm] |
Well my graduation day was 12/19 ... but today I found out that I passed all of my classes so I dont have to retake any classes!! I got a freaking B in that freaking hard ass class. I guess the mean of 44% on that final helped me a lot lol. I am so freaking happy ... and sad ... sad because tomorrow is the day I leave for japan for two weeks. I need to do some laundry ... my laundry basket is a scary sight.
Oh and happy birthday to Jenkins ... even tho he doesn't read this lol
Anyways I gotta go. i will try to keep post when I'm in japan.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Kwanza (dunno how to spell that one) ... All in all Happy holidays. |

| Finals ... finals ... finals ... |
[Dec. 13th, 2004|04:22 pm] |
Its that lovely time of the quarter again. Some students like this time of the quarter because this means that a well rewarded break is around the corner. Some hate it because before that well rewarded break, they have finals. I have two finals this quarter ... I thought I was only going to have one. I was told that we didn't have a final for that horrendous class MCB 120L ... but was informed in the beginning of the quarter that we are going to have one ... grrrr. So what am I doing right now? procrastinating on studying ... ah, the good ol' procrastination. worse than ever! I guess i have a case of Senioritis. well, its monday ... have one on wed and sat ... so i have all day of tuesday to study right? ... my motivation is long gone ... the prof is horrible. Oooh ... I should go to ratemyprofessor.com ...
Well ... enough dillydallying i guess ... see ya. |

So Thanksgiving wasn't bad. Though my parents were bit surprised when they saw jenkins coming with me ... apparently my dad failed to mentioned to my mom that Jenkins was coming ... in his defense I only mentioned about him coming down to SD once so he thought that I wasn't going to follow through with the plan. After the initial shock was over ... we chit chat in the living room ... jenkins was really nervous ... (poor baby). i tried to make it so that we had minimal contact with my parents. i.e. renting movie. we saw shrek2 (again), harry potter 3 (again), the terminal and day after tomorrow. shrek2 is awesome ... need to get that dvd. harry potter 3 ... love it cant wait for the 4th one and the 6th book. the terminal ... very funny and cute, tom hanks is great. day after tomorrow ... excellent, though the idea is very scary and it made me think about getting a hybrid car. Oh we also went to the movie theater and saw polar express. gave me this nostalgic feeling. I dont know what the review was talking about ... they need to stop smoking whatever they're smoking and actually watch the movie lol. I enjoyed the 'hot chocolate' part.
anyways ... back to jenkins-parents situation ... so after my mom learned that he wants to be a teacher ... she said, "Oh you should go to japan. English teachers are in high demand." She's all about going to japan. she wants me to go, she suggested that he should go ... wait thats good. if he goes and i go ... hmmm ... Oh get this. she said that he could be a model in Japan and then pointed at one of the beautiful houses in la jolla and said 'this house could be yours' lol That would be great. well if all else fails ... move to japan right?
This was written in 2am in the morning because i couldn't sleep. I hope that the reason of this is too much things in my head and not that i took a nap earlier today lol. Good night. |

| Happy early turkey day! |
[Nov. 24th, 2004|04:23 pm] |
Ok so tomorrow is thanksgiving day ... which means that I am taking Jenkins to San Diego with me ... do the whole "meet the parents" kinda thing ... my mom has already made her opinion on jenkins ... she hasn't met him yet ... gonna be fun right? ... all day today i've been sad/grumpy/gloomy ... not really looking forward for tomorrow. plus the flight is probably going to suck b/c it is thanksgiving day and the airport is going to be packed like sardines (or pickles ... if you have watched Ellen Degeneres stand up "Here and Now" u know what i mean). I keep telling myself to think of a happy place. my happy place right now is in davis with jenkins and my parents in san diego having a distance between us is good ... longer the better. maybe we should move to europe ...? lol. no then my mom would want to 'visit' me ... meaning use me so that she can travel europe lol. I should go home. talking about it on here doesn't really help ... thinking about it doesn't really help either.
Happy thoughts ... Last weekend my friend Jessica and I had an early thanksgiving dinner. I cooked a turkey for the first time! The direction said to cook 4.25 - 4.75 hours with stuffing ... so we cooked it for 5 hours. it looked good, the outside was nice and brown ... first layer of the meat was nice and moist ... then Mark cut into the thigh and saw the red juice ... fudge ... so we had to stick the turkey back in the oven. we think that it was because the turkey was still partially frozen inside. so what we did was we chopped big chuncks and put those chuncks on a cookie sheet and cooked some more. It was good overall. was very stuffed ... Jessica is a very good baker. had yummy pumpkin pies. It was very educational and fun so we're thinking of doing this again. but with a meat thermometer this time lol.
I was telling my turkey story to the post-grad i'm working with at the internship on monday. On tuesday her husband came in and told me that they got a turkey monday night ...lol and then he said "if the turkey turns out okay, we'll save you couple of pieces ... if it doesn't turn out okay, we'll give you the whole turkey" It is their first time as well ... did you know that in Argentina they dont celebrate Thanksgiving day??? (thats a joke ... i hope everybody knows that its an american holiday ... i hope) anyways i told her that if something goes wrong call me ... so i'm expecting a call on thursday ... I'm gonna go home and play ffxi now lol. |

... Everything and anything ... that is wrong with my life ... It's the freakin' university's fault!! I had a lab practical in MCB120L. that class is ... something is wrong with the class. When 50% of the class gets a zero on a quiz ... when couple of students study for 14 hours for that one freakin' quiz and gets 0.5 to 1.5 ... what does that tell you? That the instructor is really really really really bad and most of the people are not retaining the information she is lecturing on. I got a 1.5 out of 10 on a quiz ... after studying for 14 hours!! that was last friday ... so thursday (veteran's day) was spent on studying for that "quiz". Then this week we have/had lab practical ... and next monday we have another quiz ... it was originally scheduled on wednesday, but i guess couple of students asked the prof if they can take it early cuz they can't come to class on wednesday ... (wednesday is day before thanksgiving). So the prof decided to change the quiz day on monday and still going to lecture on wednesday ... but the stuff she's going to lecture is going to be on the final (prof attempt on making the students come). Ugh ... I'm so tired. I need to practice for my presentation too ... i have to go. |
|
|
| Its one of them days ... |
[Nov. 11th, 2004|12:41 am] |
I thought I should be a good student and go to bed early so I can get up early on a day off and study for a quiz I have this friday. But no ... I was stupid and drank that stupid tea and now I can't sleep. Doesn't help that I have things on my mind.
Lately I've been thinking if I chose the right path in living a successful life. This Dietitics Internship that I have to apply for next fall ... I am not so sure if I am going to get in. I'm grateful that my friend Melissa has full faith in me that I'll be fine. You know how you're worrying about something and people will come up to you and say, "Oh you'll be fine. I'm sure you'll figure something out." ... I hate that. How do you know? Are you some sort of psychic and know my future or what? Great example ... one of my bosses, Don asked me how my midterms were going ... I said I have one today and I dont know how I'm going to do. Then he said, "I'm sure you'll do fine" so I asked him, "How do you know that I'll do fine, because I feel that I wont do so well." He said, "well, I dont know. You just seem like you'll do okay." ... what? excuse me? Do I emit this smart aura that I dont know about? I know that people are trying to be comforting, but when things aren't going so well ... those type of comments weigh very heavily on your shoulders. It feels like you have to live up to their expectation ... And in reality you really dont know. I guess this is when you just take this giant leap of faith (how big of a leap? size of Grand Canyon). Or work your butt off so you have one of the greatest letter of rec ... cuz I can't really do anything about my stupid GPA ... what is set is set.
Right now all I care is that I'll do semi good job this quarter and graduate. Do u think this is good enough venting for the night? I'm sure i'll have some more. Night. |

| Another weekend ... |
[Nov. 6th, 2004|08:59 am] |
Another weekend is here ... yay! ... and that means another week of school is going to start ... boo. Oh but this week we have a holiday! Veterans' day on thursday. Usually this week was celebrated as 3 day weekend, but the Veterans didn't like that and so they insisted that we celebrate it on the day (11/11). So now, we have a weird day off (on thursday). Right? Or maybe it was always been like that and I just dont remember. I am looking forward for this quarter to end cuz that means I'll have a degree (well the actual diploma isn't handed out til 3,4 months after the graduation ... I guess they want to make sure that you've actually gone through the grueling 4 to 5 years to get that degree and want you to suffer even more by making you wait and the ceremony is just for show.)
Well nothing else exciting happened just school, work and my life and just posting to let people know i'm here somewhere. |

| Everything and anything ... |
[Oct. 29th, 2004|03:58 am] |

Everything and anything that is wrong with my life ... is the University's fault. Its 4am and I just finish writing a 2 page paper ... thats not a lot, but when you have nothing to write, thats a lot ... lol. it's not even 2 page ... its like one page and 5 lines ... but at this point I really dont care ... I need to study for this quiz I have tomorrow (today) ... oy vei. I tried to do this "do everything ahead of time" ... it doesn't work ... I always seem to procrastinate or find something better to do. Everything is better when compared to school work ... even cleaning! ... Oooh nice hot bath sounds good ... I guess I'll clean the tub tomorrow and pamper meself. Yesterday (28th) was my friend Connie's birthday (Happy Birhtday!), but was too busy to celebrate ... feel shitty (Everthing and anything ...) so me thinks we are going out for dinner tonight ... if I survive today lol. I better get some sleep tonight. night! |
