brighten my day.
the archives. peep this. knock yourself out. monday.february.10.2003|JFK was a letcher!
yup. that's right. my english teacher pointed that out for some reason today. hmm... i wonder what was on HER mind. school was pretty fun. spent lunch with chris in the caf. alongside a wall in the building is where different people set up tables to inform students about random stuff, or even sell jewelery and all that fun stuff. it differs every day - today happened to be a 'fun' day. i guess since valentine's day is right around the corner, there was a table with a bunch of HIV/AIDS prevention information, including free condoms and brochures. they were showing videos about how HIV spreads in the system, how women get pregnant and the stages of the fetus, what people are doing to prevent more infection, etc. well, when chris and i decided to actually glance on what was on the screen, there was a cartoon of how to put on a condom. now, i'm not sure if chris would've told me this if he hadn't seen the screen, but he started telling me about this one guy we know and how he just got head from his girlfriend this weekend. it's pretty bizarre because this kid can be a real pain in the ass. i've known him since i was in elementary school (poor anhela), and i've seen him mature a little bit more since the cootie days. hehe, notice how i said 'a little bit.' but yeah, i was just really surprised that chris brought that up. and even though it was something interesting to talk about, i was cringing the entire time. partially out of disbelief, but mostly because it was pretty gross. eck!
chilled with my johnny before benny and sammy headed over for practice. i love spending time with him! i've realized something - no matter what i'm doing, as long as it's with johnny, i'm happy. we could be chillin with the guys, walking around best buy with no intentions of buying anything, or even falling asleep in each others' arms, but it always makes me feel good inside. today, we talked about a bunch of stuff, including why i dislike valentine's day. after thinking about what was said in the conversation, i'm positive that it won't be as dreadful as it has been in the past. that's just another thing that makes me happy inside. knowing that something i've had this strong dislike towards can actually be good, considering i'll be with someone that always makes me smile. well, i guess i was super tired because when johnny went to answer the door, i stayed under his warm covers and fell fast asleep. haha, i think i was out pretty hard because i started drooling! hehehe. sorry babe! *wink wink* i woke up with lines all over my face and squinty eyes, and headed to grab some grub before going back to school.
i played with the band today. it was... eh. i'm not sure if i'm going to stay. i'm probably going to drop the class tomorrow morning since my classes start later. hopefully i can get a refund since i added on thursday, and the class only meets on monday nights. i'm not dropping the class because i can't hang with it, or i'm uncomfortable being there. in fact, i have sean to keep me company! but i guess i wasn't really having fun. in some ways, i just miss band from high school, or even the pit from marching band. i'm probably just going to keep my involvement with the marching band every fall semester since i'm a total geek about that. band geek! saturday.february.09.2003|tomorrow may rain so i'll follow the sun
you guys don't realize how excited i am right now! i'm practically peeing in my pants! KFRC (yes, that's the oldies station) is doing this tribute to the beatles' first trip across the atlantic to the states. to celebrate such a momentus event, the station is playing nothing but the beatles the entire weekend. i think they started yesterday! ohhh man. if you knew me well in middle school, you might remember my slight obsession with the fab four. it's pretty nerdy (yeah, i'll admit that), but i guess that's what happens when you actually listen to your parents' old records on the record player.
the banquet last night was great. i was so happy to see pretty much everyone again, and all dressed up! whee! it's always nice to see those people that are usually all sweaty or bundled up for practice on the field dressed really nice. johnny looked super duper hot! ohhh man, i had the hottest date there! dinner was pretty yummy. i also learned a lot of do's and don't's about being a waiter. watched the marching band video which featured a song by the starting line - very tight.
~johnny, thanks so much for going with me to the banquet. i had a great time with you! especially playing with those little happy face things. ooOh, you have the kinky one with boots! haha. thanks for teaching me so much about waiting. if i ever become a waitress or something, no doubt i'll go to you for all that sorta stuff. XOXO
tired from work. worked a few hours into closing as overtime because we were so under-staffed today. i had to rearrange all the panty tables, except one, full of our new PINK stuff. it's neat how manufacturers think up all these creative styles and different colors of panties. but it's such a freakin bitch to arrange everything after ravenous ladies, and some men, rummage through every single item and leave it there. i swear, our cotton tables looked like a freakin hurricane ran through them. well, i contributed some extra hours to helping out the store. i get along really well with most of my co-workers (excluding a select few, and a manager or two) so i felt bad leaving all them behind with SOOOOO much stuff to replenish. my god, the fitting rooms were piled to the ceiling with panties, nighties, relaxed wear, and panties. haha, i don't know if this gives you a terrible mental picture (or for some of you sicko's out there, a GOOOD mental picture), but i'm sure much of the freshly worn items were still warm! hahaha. i witnessed something pretty gross one time. i don't even want to put it down here. might scare off the few readers i have. if you really want to know about some of the juicy experiences i've had working in the fitting rooms, feel free to ask me.
hmm.. i guess that's enough complaining about work. it's money in the wallet to pay the bills, so i really can't say much.
tonight is one of those nights where i find myself bored as heck, but i'm also too tired to do anything that'll make me happy. i COULD be a good girl and work on a narrative essay. but i'm finding myself too tired to even think about what to write. and i know i'll get easily distracted. hahaha, that just made me think about something. mio says i have an attention problem, and i think she's totally right! it's not as bad as some other people i could name, but it's bad enough to be called a problem. i'm also finding that this music is distracting me. haha, i can't sing a song and type something totally different from what i'm singing. ack. so much for multi-tasking. friday.february.07.2003|... still addicted?
life seems to be at one of those perfect standstills. surprisingly, i haven't touched my computer in so many nights. even more scary is that i don't miss it. so much for the calling myself an addict.
this week has been mainly school and johnny. wake up, go to school, take a quick break to jamba juice or the caf, go back to school, spend time with johnny, go home, do homework, watch a movie, and call it a night. he's been working the night shift for this entire week, so the only time i get to really see him is after school. haha, we've fallen asleep watching television every time i've gone to spend time with him. but i honestly couldn't ask for anything more. i'm so happy right now.
i have my marching band banquet tonight, and i'm a bit weary about what i'm planning on wearing. i had an orginal outfit picked out, but my mom pointed out that it didn't look quite semi-formal, and i agree. so the whole PINK idea is out. i have two dresses in mind, and on one, the strap is kind of retarded. so unless i fix that right now, i might just wear it for my cousin's wedding in march. the one that i have really given the option to wear is the same one i wore for graduation. i don't know how many of you were lucky to see what was underneath that white gown, but i was wearing this really old school dress with big flowers. hmm. i'm such a girl! i can't believe i'm actually stressing on what to wear, how to do my hair, what shoes i'm going to wear... the whole deal!
in the meantime, peep this! tuesday.february.05.2003|back in my day, ho...
WOW. today was such an awesome day. oh my goodness, i wish i could tell the whole entire universe how good today was, but i can't. hehe, secret secret! there's only one other person that knows about this and i MUST say thank you so much!!! i love you so much! ahhh..
been extremely busy with school. in fact i shouldn't be signed on to the damn addictive internet. i've been really tired lately, and i don't think that's too good. i noticed i've taken naps pretty much every day. i really don't know if that's good or bad. i've also been eating a bunch of oranges. but that totally has nothing to do with what i'm trying to say. i've gone back to my usual routine of wishing it was thursday, so my week would be over. whooo.
didn't go to my sociology class today. i feel a little bad, and a little worried because i'm this huge school nerd. i guess it's good to start skipping classes when you're sure of the teaching methods (and attendence methods) of the professor. anyway, chilled on johnny's new couch for a little today. wow. it's soooo comfortable! went with with him later to petsmart so he could fill out all that paperwork stuff, then we ate togo's. yummy! my poor baby is at work right as i'm typing this. i hope he can hang for the night shift. hehe, all the time i think about the night shift, i think about spongebob.
babe! wow... what can i say??! i had SOOOOOOO much fun spending time with you today. it was really good stuff. we gotta do stuff like that more often, kay??? *wink wink* well, i hope you're enjoying your job - at night. i miss you already! XOXO! saturday.february.01.2003|red envelopes equal money!
happy new year to all the vietnamese and chinese kiddies out there! whoo hoo! being only half vietnamese and a pinch chinese, i only get a few red envelopes, but hey! it's better than nothing, right??!
no work today! and i'm glad because i woke up a bit late. i was on call from 12-4 pm today and set the alarm for 10 am. woke up, turned it off, and layed in bed. fell back asleep till 10:30 am, and i swear i just closed my eyes for a second... when i opened them again, it was 11:30 am. it took me a while to realize an hour had passed by. i jumped out of bed, ran to the phone, called work, then found out i didn't need to go in. whew!
went to johnny's and saw his nephew! awwww, so cute!!! hehe. we went to staples to get myself a new graphing calculator. i saw a pretty silver version, but it was about fifty dollars more than the regular one. bummer. dropped off some mail at the post office where daddy works. later on, we went with his parents to levit's so he could pick out a couch for the computer room. yayee! now we can watch television a nice, comfortable couch, rather than the doggie puke futon! hahaha. after a fun day of hopping on all the different couches and a really stiff foam bed, we ate dinner at peppermill. yummy yummy! friday.january.31.2003|can i call you sweetheart?
good day. picked up johnny, picked up my paycheck, trip to the bank (i actually know how to deposit thru the atm!! my babe showed me. haha, no more bank dilemmas for me... i hope), went to my school's bookstore to get the damn english course packet i've been needing, chilled at johnny's house for a little before benny and sammy came over. went to get food and gas before i headed home. ate, made myself look 'pretty' for work, and off i went to a fun day of selling underwear. bought a bottle of soda - ack! soda is so bad for you! anyway, today was slow. sold one credit card, which basically was my goal for today. bought a shirt after work from our new PINK line. pretty stuff. thursday.january.30.2003|trix?! i don't do trix - trix are for kids.
school has arrived, and with that, all my free (FUN) time is gone. poop. i guess i'm glad to be back at school. i already feel interested in all the courses i'm taking. haha, i'm ready to learn! whoo! my professors seem like awesome people. hopefully they carry that adjective to their teaching skills. that's always the case - you have a fun teacher, who you can be totally one on one with, but he or she just sucks so much ass at teaching you stuff. aiyah. one can only hope...
well, much has happened since the last time i've been here. i would love to try and remember all the juicy details, but i can't. old age, and probably the gene for alzheimer's (if there is one), has gotten the best of me. hmm... let's see how much of this week i can recall.

saturday.january.25.2003|the word addiction never comes with happy thoughts
damn these internet games! i swear i've become an addict. i don't play hardcore stuff like counterstrike or anything, although my dearest love suggests i should play it. hehe, anyone care to hook it up with that game?? *wink wink* thanks to miss mio, i'm online every night trying out all the different games on yahoo. aiyah. it always starts with just one. then it leads to a few more when you have the time. then you might as well since you're already there. and then, sooner than you think - you're in and there's no way out! haha. isn't that how it goes for everything??! think about it:
1) alcohol - first, it's a beer. tastes a bit different, but you shrug it off. next time you get the offer, it's a malt beverage. you think, 'hmm.. more flavor than that beer stuff. i think i could get the hang of this.' then a buddy invites you to take a shot with them. 'oh what the heck,' you think, 'for a buddy!' the next morning you wake up, and you're taking that hardcore shit from the liquor cabinet that the parents don't even bring out for the guests. that night, you're at dinner eating pizza with some friends, playing with lip rings, and taking swigs out of flask with ducks on it!!
2) marijuana - a friend offers you a hit from a joint. you chuckle at the teeny size of it. soon enough, you're coughing your lungs out. everyone has a laugh about it, and you think 'eh, not so bad.' next time, someone shows you a pipe. 'wow. that's a nice pipe,' you think to yourself. take a few hits, feel the high. 'i could get the hang of this.' sooner than you think, you're at a house party waiting for your turn in the circle. it's a nice, glass bong this time. the guy to your right in the beanie shines his blue light thru it as you take a hit. in your head, you say, 'damn, all that smoke.. this one's gonna be a fat hit!' but you take it like a champ. there you go, the high hits you, and now you're spending your money and your saturday nights getting high, laughing your ass off about anything and everything, even when you're friend falls rolls off a bed. all the while, you make sure not to let that four thousand dollar cat get out of the house.
3) cigarettes - almost like the marijuana situation. take your first hit, get a mouth full of cough and smoke. you learn the secret to smoking - inhaling. next time you get your hands on a cigarette, you're in your best friend's backyard. of course you don't want her mom to come back home to a house that reaks of cigarette smoke. bleh. cigarette owner hands you one, and teaches you how to hold it, so it doesn't look like you're holding it like a joint. you learn to flick the ashes off. damn! starting to look like a professional already. a few cigarettes later, you get the hang of how to flick it to the ground to put it out. good, no one wants a forest fire. at least not in their backyard while their mom is away for the weekend. sooner than you think, your car, hair, clothes, and breath stink of smoke. you constantly have dry mouth and are asking someone for gum. also, you smell of several different perfumes and scents to distract people from the smell of smoke. really, it just smells like shit.
4) salt - steamed vegetables taste a bit plain as you look at your plate. 'hmm, ' you think, 'what would put some POW! in this dinner?' you look around the kitchen, and you spot two identical shakers on the table. you've never been a big fan of that black pepper stuff. always made you sneeze. ah-ha! you go for the identical twin. yes that's right - the salt. on the surface they're just a couple of shakers, but on the inside, they're as different as night and day. sprinkle a bit here and there. mmm, tastes better. next time around, you think that salt would be the perfect condiment to this meal. take your handy salt shaker, and start shaking away. one day, you look down at your plate and see that you've shaken enough salt to cover the sierra nevadas. shit, it's almost thick enough for those kids at heavenly to go snowboarding! fuck the sugar bowl, we got a bowl full of salt right here, baby!
5) sex - making out, groping. then the undressing starts. your panties slip off, and you think that it's just going to be a little harmless foreplay. nothing unusual to you. but then, something feels different. that's right. it's no longer a finger or two (or three??!). it's the real thing. the big kahoona. after the momentum starts, you begin to like it. being the most incredible guy in the world, he makes sure you're okay. a few nights follow, and the routine begins again. it hurts, but you suffer through the pain. soon you're the one that craves it. you think about it all the time. you think about how great it was. about how great it could be. about where it could be... or where it was already done. on his bed, in the backseat, in the living room, in the computer room, when his friends are in the other room, when every one is asleep... the possibilities are endless. then you get into how it was done, or how you want to try it. your mind races, and sooner than you think, you're back to those panties slipping off.
i could go on and on with random analogies to prove my point that i'm addicted to internet games. it's terrible. i come home after a nice long day of kissing ass to clients, urging them to open an angels credit card and buy a thirty-eight dollar strapless bra (don't forget the matching seamless panties!), and i really look forward to turning on my computer and signing in to my yahoo id. ohhhh my gosh. because i doubt there's a cure for this type of nerdy-ness, i've already come to terms that i'm such a nerd. i even know that i love nerds. right johnny? don't worry, babe. i'll get you that shirt at hot topic, and i'll get myself the corresponding beanie. hehe. *muah*
Purple177: haha i'm such a freakin nerd.
friday.january.24.2003|i'd be rollin' in the bills if it wasn't for taxes!
had a sweet day at work! opened three credit cards - two in one hour. i think i've finally picked up that 'PUSHY' trait that sales people acquire after working for a certain amount of time. i worked the cotton room, and kept that place pristine! shiet. they should have paid me extra for that job. i'm sure you don't really understand, but these cotton tables get SOOOO torn up because clients rummage through them like maniacs, just trying to find a size. i was the only person in the cotton room / relaxed classics, or like my managers call me - the LEAD (ahhh... makes me sound useful), and i really did my best to help out each client, while remembering my goals for the workshift... for example, i remembered to introduce our new bra from the very sexy collection, sell credit cards, and try to sell at least three regular priced bras in one hour. on top of that, i made sure i was selling all the stuff in my room too! wow... what a good girl! haha. i'm satisfied with how i worked today, and so was one of the head managers. so i'm in a very good mood.
johnny and sammy met me after work, and we went to great mall so they could drop off some demos. i followed johnny to his house, and we all just kind of chilled. ate some more bread and hotdogs. today we threw some ketchup on them! haha. johnny decided to start a wrestling match between me and him... and i was SOOOOO close to winning. we just kind of stopped, so that doesn't mean i lost. it's funny because we both get really tired, and start sweating like crazy, so we just stop. hehe. don't worry, next time i'll be sure to win! *wink wink* thursday.january.23.2003|is this as good as it gets?
spent time with johnny today. we watched as good as it gets, and i loved the movie! totally awesome! i know that i totally catch up on movies a gazillion years later, but hey - i'm a very busy girl. nah, i'm not. i was just kidding. we actually took a break from the movie to eat hot dogs fresh from the grill in slices of bread... with extra mustard! hehehe, yummy in my tummy! wednesday.january.22.2003|body movin'
closed my account at the credit union. quick and simple. i felt like a free woman... with hella money on hand. later on in the afternoon, mom went with me to open an account at washington mutual. finally, a bank with more than one branch! haha. and it's good because there's one right by work, and i think i spotted quite a few around saratoga. whew!
spent time with the boy, which is always a guaranteed fun time! the original plan was to see a movie and maybe grab some food. i guess we just love to live life on the wild side and kind of make up the plans as we go. we stopped by OUR bank (remember, i'm part of the family now, right johnny??), gassed up little neo (no explosions - thank you), and drove downtown. haha. we pretty much just drove around downtown... changing plans as we went from signal light to signal light. in fact, at one of the lights, i spotted sjsu instructor ryan and his wife! of course he was still driving his little twinkie bus, but surprisingly, he got a haircut! hehehe. anyway, johnny and i ended up going to great mall to see if we could catch a flick. nothing that really caught our attention or agreed with our watches, so we browsed around media play, dissing and praising movies here and there. visited nga on the way out. johnny actually let me drive us to jamba juice! crazy stuff, indeed. after spending about half an hour in there just trying to decide what drink and boost to get *ahem* JOHNNY *ahem*, we went back to chill at his house. i guess the two of us were beat because we both started falling asleep. ahhh... falling asleep in the love of my life's arms... so wonderful. after we did much to wake ourselves up, we watched a really funny episode of spongebob! hehe it was cute because spongebob heard he was going to be on a commercial for the krusty krab, and he had this super cute face! with rosy cheeks and sparkles in his eyes! awwww, so cute!!!
after finding myself insanely bored at home, i played yahoo graffiti with tony and reisa. ohh my goodness, it was like good times from junior year. haha. just like the old chem gang, minus one. or like mio used to call us, the chemistry cutters! hahaha. it's amazing that we even passed that class. miss rad was really RAD. shoot, she was even my buddy! heck yeah! remember guys and gals, chem-is-PHUN!
~babe (or should i say BAB??), i had the most wonderful time hanging out with you today! fun stuff, as always! we'll watch a movie next time, i promise! i really enjoyed that story you told me in the car about a certain smell and how it equals... DING DING DING!!! hahahah, that's just way too funny! XOXO tuesday.january.21.2003|a great sigh of relief
my little fiasco with the bank ended happily ever after. whew! i seriously thought my paycheck was lost in a random box that goes into the bank.
spent the entire day with mom. i actually woke up around eight in the am. that's probably the earliest i've gotten up this entire winter break! hahaha. i don't know why, but i'm always tired. even on the days when i do nothing all day. anyway, i drove to the bank to inquire what in the world was going on with my smart job the day before. they don't open up that night collection box until two-ish, so i had to call back around that time. i drove to school to get books, a parking permit, and to pay for my classes. it stinks because i need to go back at the end of the week to get an english book that hasn't arrived yet. you know what, school is NOT cheap. but i know that for a fact, it really pays off in the end - just don't fuck around, and you'll be good to go! after getting all that done, we decided to go to moffet field. thanks to the confusing signs on highway 85, i ended up taking a wrong turn, which led us to downtown moffet field. whooo... all i had to do was make a u-turn, and ta-da! back on the right track. mom and i had lunch at mcdonald's. that's a pretty amazing detail all on it's own considering my mom really dislikes junk food. i remember my brothers and i would have to hide our french fries and soda from my mom because sometimes she'd get really mad that we just didn't cook something up... being the youngest, i'd always get a slap for that. aiyah, just chaos in this asian household. mom needed to order some food at vietnamese places, so i took her to do that. went to the cell phone place to ask the guy why my phone has been acting strange. i guess sometimes my voicemail doesn't work... or something janky like that. after continuously calling the bank every few hours, i received good news of my deposit. yayee!! this calls for a celebration.
poor, sick, stuffy benny called me today. awwww. he was alone all day, so he actually called me for company! hehe. i felt bad because i wanted to bring him soup, but i really can't afford to get sick. i have no idea what's wrong with me, but when i catch something, it usually stays in me for months and months after. if i got sick right now, i'd probably still be sick in july. sucks big time. anyway, we talked for a good two or three hours. it was nice to talk to one of my really close buddies. especially since the vast majority of them moved away for school.
speaking of buddies that have moved far, far away from the nest, i had a quite interesting conversation with miss rosie today. hahaha. check it out:
jankyangela: what does the word geriatric mean?
wow. i'm glad to see that rosie hasn't changed one bit! *snicker snicker* monday.january.20.2003|santa clara county federal can kiss my butt
urk! i feel like a total retard because i had trauma at the bank today. impatient me decided to make a deposit on a national holiday. so i use the drive up atm, and i end up sticking my paycheck in the freakin wrong hole. i called about three different people for help... one even told me to try and stick my hand in the hole and see if i can take out the envelope. gosh, cause THAT doesn't look like i'm stealing from the machine! johnny met up with me at the bank, and put my worries to rest. i guess i still put it in a deposit slot, but it was just the wrong one. i have to wake up early tomorrow morning and explain what a big nerd i am, and see if i can get my check. whoo... go ang! friday.january.17.2003|dreams...
i've noticed that lately, i've been having STRANGE dreams. i can't explain it. one night it was about me packing to come home to san jose (i was living elsewhere), the other night kevin bacon decided to make a cameo apperance in my dream, and i think last night i dreamt about the house from who's the boss. and then i dream about johnny and me. but those are an exception since they are usually really good dreams. but maybe my dreams are finally catching up with me, seeing as how i usually don't get enough sleep to dream over the school year. i'm still enjoying my winter break before the semester creeps up and kicks me in the head... but i waking up in total confusion puts me in a grumpy mood. maybe i should stop sleeping so much. would that even do me any good? i'm grouchy when i don't get enough sleep... but i'm freaked out in the morning when i DO have enough. the double-edged sword has taken it's toll on this little one.
on the upside of my life, i sold my first credit card at work today. i'm really happy since my managers always push us to at least sell one for every shift we work. many of the girls have taken a pretty pessimistic outlook to selling the credit cards. they ARE right, though - we're not working on commission, so selling those really don't help us... it actually just benefits the store. hmm... i also used my hard-earned-panty-and-bra-selling money to buy the all american rejects cd. ohh man, i love it! i'm excited because mine is actually a limited edition one. it comes in a different cover and with another cd. yayeee! now i can listen to them all day and night.
abel and i went to wal-mart to buy some ammo since he's going to the shooting range tomorrow. i want to go! my brothers, cousin joe, and i used to go all the time. hehe, we had some good memories at the shooting range. ahh... anyway, after getting his stuff, we met his buddy sinjin at banana leaf. it was alright. my first time eating there, and i totally thought they served a different style of food there. it's groovy, though. my dinner was yummy. wednesday.january.15.2003|cavity free is the way to be!
took a trip to the dentist today with mommy. i am proud to say i am still cavity free. whoo! go brushing! the only sucky thing about the visit was apparently, one of my front teeth has a strange groove that you can only see from the inside of my mouth. it's always been there, and my orthodontist even asked my parents way back in the day if they wanted it sealed so my tooth would be like normal. it really wasn't going to cause any problems, so my parents said no. flash forward to today, and my dentist said there's a tiny hole in it. it's definetly not a cavity, which is very good, but the hole is pretty close to a nerve. and that could cause TONS of problems in the near future. so i guess i need to go back and get that sealed. i'm scared because it'll really be a first for me. i've gone through braces and wisdom teeth pulling - both while i was wide awake, but they're actually going to be working on a single tooth... which is close to the nerve!
i picked up my cuppy cake, and we headed to valley fair. stopped by work to see the new stuff. i'm really excited because we just put out our new very sexy bras. and they are PRETTY! awww, they have the valentine's colors all out. the two of us shopped around, then we went to best buy. and of course, it smelled like alviso. bleh. i swear, we spent forever in the store reading a ripley's believe it or not book. interesting stuff, though. i had a wonderful time today with my babe - but i always do!!
XOXO fatty! it's okay, you're MY fatty! *snicker snicker* tuesday.january.14.2003|do you know what it feels LIKE???!
went to a tight ass show tonight at the gaslighter in campbell. flashlight brown, all american rejects, riddlin kids, and homegrown played. and let me tell you - they all kicked so much ass. i LOVE all american rejects! the lead singer gets totally into it, and you can just see it on his face. so... animated. but it's great. homegrown was so awesome too! eeep! definetly a great show. after a nice car ride of trying to get reisa to like the starting line and this one anti-flag song i have, we met johnny & friends in campbell. i swear, reisa and i are such girls. we kept going back to the car because we either forgot something, or were really indecisive about what to bring with us into the theater. haha. i pretty much hung out on the floor with my babe all night long. soooo much fun! sunday.january.12.2003|and the results are in...
now, you tell me - is that a good thing or a bad thing?
wednesday.january.08.2003|angela grace's day off
tired - but in the good way. worked the shopping muscles with mommy. we went to eastridge, which, i will remind you, is still pretty ghetto. after almost four hours of shopping, we ended up getting two blazers for me (for work) and a shirt for my mom. i was supposed to get my hair cut today, but the lady that normally does it wasn't in. mommy and i also stopped by to get gas for the van and grab dinner for the house. hehe, yummy vietnamese sandwiches. later on in the evening, alain came with me to get gas for my car. then we went to walgreens, albertson's, and toys 'r' us. yup. it seems like my whole day was spent in the ghetto. ohhh yes, and i DID see a church's chicken while i was out today. just like mio told me - church's chicken equals ghetto neighborhood. hehehe. you know what's kind of tight? when we were in toys 'r' us, i spotted an asian barbie doll. actually, it wasn't an actual mattel barbie doll, but it was dr. yie su or something like that. get this - she had long black hair, and was dressed in the collarless shirts asian doctors wear (if you watch kung fu movies, you probably know what i'm talking about). and! this was the best part. she comes with those chinese herb medicine cabinets! how tight is that?! i think i want one! heheh.
anyway, there really isn't much more to update. i'm dreading going to work tomorrow. i don't know if it's because i'm getting old or if i'm just a weakling, but standing up and walking around for pretty much seven and a half hours completely kills me! tuesday.january.07.2003|you can be my bodyguard, and i can be your long lost pal
one day when i'm stashing bras in the drawers, i hear an obnoxiously loud voice talking to one of the managers. i try my best to tune out, but just can't seem to do it. i turn around, and who do you think i saw?? well, i WISHED it was emilio estevez, the mighty duck man, but i wasn't that lucky. damn. i saw BLEH! whatever. if she stays away from me and doesn't try to be my buddy or whatever, then i won't have to kick her in the head. ugh. i've known her since sixth grade, and now i find out she works with me. good lord, haven't i been punished long enough!?
spent time with my johnny after work. we went to best buy, ate dinner at his house, then had a little wrestling match. haha. this time, i didn't lose - but then again, i didn't win. i guess you can say it was a draw. but next time, i'll totally beat him up! *snicker snicker* saturday.january.04.2002|no gay dabies allowed!
worked pretty hardcore today. i had work at ten in the am, and was surprisingly on time, considering i only allowed twenty-five minutes to get my lazy ass to the mall. i guess i actually made it since the mall barely opened. you know what i've noticed from working in retail? i guess this applies especially towards sales, but customers (or as we prefer to call them - "clients") come in waves! it's crazy. the store will be nice and organized, with a few customers here and there. but then, BAM! a fat crowd of people pile in and there's pretty much chaos everywhere. interesting stuff.
i guess i'm getting the hang of things at work, considering i haven't had complete training with the merchandise and routines. i had to help a lady for a bra-fitting, which i just learned how to do. before i measured, i asked to see if she was wearing a padded bra. usually, a client will just say yes or no. this particular one decided it was better to show me her bra and the breasts that filled it. and in fact, i couldn't really tell from merely looking if the bra was padded, so yes boys and girls - angela had to feel up some lady. hahaha. great stuff i tell you. if any guys are interested, i think there might be some positions available! *wink wink* friday.january.03.2003|these dogs are barking - hardcore!
after getting up super duper early (for me), i headed to work to pick up some stuff, then drove around saratoga and campbell. went to westgate shopping center and ended up purchasing a pair of pants, shoes, and a shirt - for work, of course. i still need to find myself a few blazers or jackets. then i'm set to make some moolah!
work was chaotic to the gazillionth power. what's worse than being a customer in the semi-annual clearance sale is WORKING the damn sale. i was running around the floor so much - replenishing the bins, helping and greeting customers, running price checks, trying to figure out what merchandise goes where, learning the different brands as i went along... ahhh! the list goes on. joanne and linda stopped by to say hello, which was pretty nifty. i also saw two girls from my high school psychology class, and they remembered me! hehe. i guess johnny's parents were there today trying to find me, but were unsuccessful. doh!
johnny had some type of afterparty (not really) in his basement, so i headed over there after work. i met his cousin jennifer, chatted with the ladies upstairs about work, then headed downstairs. haha, the basement was packed like fudge, but i managed to find my sweetheart.
~johnny, i had fun today! aww babe, i always have fun with you! you're an incredibly spectacular boyfriend, and i enjoy your company immensely! *pokes tummy* awww baby!!! try not to stare at that beautiful lady on the school catalog too much, or get paper cuts, or dance like a sailor. daddy might get mad! thursday.january.02.2003|angela grace - panty expert
my first day of work went pretty swell. this social butterfly has a few buddies in the workplace, which always makes the job more enjoyable. hehe. believe it or not, there are straight guys that work at victoria's secret. ahh, sometimes the most simple things never cease to amaze my little unexposed mind. anyway, we basically tore down the entire store and re-created it for tomorrow's big semi-annual clearance sale. i worked really hard today... even the managers were happy with how much effort i put into my job. whooo! go panty expert! geez, i'm pretty tired. i'm getting up early tomorrow too because mommy wants to take her beloved working daughter to go shopping. yay, then more work in the afternoon. ahh, the joy that overwhelms my heart when i think about all the anxious girls and women carelessly searching through the bins of bras and panties that zaida and i meticulously separated for their convenience. but what can i do about it - no one said work would be easy. wednesday.january.01.2003|waiting for my new year's kiss
happy new year! the end of 2002 really took me by surprise. geezus, i didn't even expect christmas, and then all of a sudden i'm watching dick clark in times square with my family. miranda and i discussed how the dropping of that gigantic ball in times square gets less and less eventful as each year passes by. AND it's pre-recorded. jankier than the jank!
i had a job interview yesterday at victoria's secret. i think it went really well. the manager took me to a random bench in the mall and began the interview. i was kind of dreading a public interview like that because i tend to get distracted easily. haha, i was trying so hard to pay attention to the manager, and not the people that kept staring as they passed our bench. i'm supposed to get a call back on thursday after a reference check. then, i think we're gonna set up a time and date for orientation. i'm not quite sure if that means i'm hired or not, but it sure sounds like good news!
i spent time with my sweet cheeks today. before the crack of dawn, we arrived at jeff's house full of people crashed out everywhere. johnny kept scaring bren whenever he would pass out. then the guys kept bugging melissa. hehe fun stuff. oh yeah! and i was able to finally see and pet the four thousand dollar kitty! aww, it's such a pretty kitty! later on in the evening, i dropped by his house. his little cousins were over, and they are so cute! ohh man, i love little kids. awww... baby! today marks the beginning of a little bet i have going on with miss mio. mwahahaha. if you're really interested, feel free to im me. i'll let you know all the juicy details about it. mio, get ready to kiss some nice, round, filipino and vietnamese ASS CHEEKS! | |||
