So it has been almost over a year since I've been to this thing. I wanted to just let this die along with my past but eh what the hell. This might be my last post.. or maybe not, we'll see. People probably don't even look at this anymore anyways.

A lot has happened this year. Met the man that I'm in love with at work. We had our good times, but now it's on the rocks. But I guess most relationships are like this. He drives me insane but at the same time.. I love it. We talked about maybe moving to Colorado in the future.. far far distant future hopefully. I will miss California that's for sure. I hope this relationship actually lasts. I've screwed up so much because of this relationship and I'm really hoping that it was well worth it.

I've also found a new job. I work at the Borders near Regal now. Some shit happened at the theatre and I just couldn't stay there anymore. But, Borders seems like a pretty damn cool place to work at though. The supervisor there says she'll hire me on as a tutor for her children also! I hope I don't screw that up.. >.>

I realized that I've changed a lot since last year. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm definitely more open with myself now than before. I've matured more also for sure. I might actually start going to school next year. I don't know, I really like the whole working full time thing. Maybe I'll try to work my way up in Borders.. /sigh. I don't know, we'll see.

I should've posted an update earlier but I got lazy.

I started working last Saturday. It wasn't that bad.. I figured it would be pretty hectic since it's a Saturday. The people are pretty cool.. really nice too. I like working there actually. It's kinda fun.. especially morning shifts.. cuz I get about 3 hours of quiet since it's the morning. The customers can be a bitch though. Like yesterday.. this lady came with her 2 toddlers and ordered 2 small drinks for them. Now, if you've been to Hacienda Regal Cinemas.. you should know how BIG the drinks are. After she paid and everything, she started freaking out cuz the drinks were to big for her kids to hold, so she asked for the "kid's meal" cups. (We can't just give those out since we do inventory on stuff like that.) I told her we can't give them to her but we can charge her an extra $.25 for them. She freaked out even more and asked for the manager.. he told her the same thing lol. She could've just gotten the kid's meal but she didn't want the candy I guess. I'm sure they could've managed.. they could've just put the cups on the cup holders on the theatre chairs and just drink like that but whatever.. >.> Anyways.. my feet hurt.. but that's ok cuz I'm getting paid lol. I'm definitely getting paid more than when I was working for the tutoring place.. and they didn't even pay extra for overtime like they were supposed to! I'm so glad I got a new job.

Although.. I do smell like popcorn now.. >.<

Alright, I guess I should really update since it's been over a month since my last entry. =X

Well, I got a new job. I'm gonna work at Hacienda Regal Cinemas. I was going to work at the Safeway over there but I really didn't want to deal with the union and the theatre is also closer. I hope it won't be that hectic there though. I know it'll be pretty busy during the weekends.. the weekdays on the other hand seems pretty chill. I haven't gotten my schedule yet though. Hopefully, I'll start next week. I really need the money for Senior Ball. The good things about this job... I get free movies and I get to bring one guest.. and I get free popcorn and soda on my breaks. ^.^

The city screwed me over again. Apparently, the residents around Cal High have been complaining about how there are no areas for parking.. so, the city decided to make all the streets around Cal High permit parking only. It's about a mile radius around the school. I don't have a permit for the streets or the parking lots.. so I'm screwed. I usually park right in front of the school too. The residents pisses me off so much. They should've seen this coming when they bought their houses. They live near a highschool! Move of the students are able to drive themselves. We don't even park on their side of the street cuz those are already marked for permits. Not to mention they have their own garages. Yeah some people can just carpool to school and have no problem. But there are people like me who are going to be working right after school so we can't carpool. This is going to be a bitch. I know I'm bitching but I swear they really piss me off. I don't think this will last long. There are going to be angry students and angry parents. We'll see what happens.

Gong Hai Fat Choi!
or
Happy Chinese New Year!

I wish I was in China during Chinese New Year.. I would love to go to one of those festivals there. I'll go when I get enough money. >.>

I feel bad for not going over to my cousins' house to wish them a happy new year but I know all of my little cousins will be there.. and I won't be able to last a whole day with all of them there.

Anyways, so I came home last weekend.. and found a puppy in the bathroom. At first I thought I was in the wrong house but it turns out, my dad actually bought me a puppy lol. His name is Mickey and he's a 2 month old pomeranian. He's soooo adorable! He's not as hyperactive as my old dog, Kevy, so that's a good thing. Although, I prefer a bigger dog but I'll deal with it.

It's official! I will be attending the California Culinary Academy this upcoming fall! I even got fitted for my chef's outfit. ^.^ So I'm one step closer to become a pastry chef and possibly owning my own bakery/cafe. Holy crap I'm getting too excited lol. It's going to be hell driving over to San Francisco every morning though.. I would take the BART but.. it's more convenient for me to just drive there.

Anyways, if you guys need any baked goods... I'll hook you up.

-edit-

Before I forget...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

LETS GET CRUNK! hehe jk

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Woot! I'm finally legal! I don't feel that different though. I'm not throwing a party for those of you who are wondering.. I haven't thrown a party since freshman year lol. Hmm.. not much else to say, to tell you the truth. Maybe I'll have more to say on my 21st birthday.

He kept his promise. ^.^ So, he's finally here.. it feels kinda weird.. in a good way lol. We did a lot during Thanksgiving break. I didn't even stay home that much, I spent most of my week at his apartment. We watched a few movies.. Borat, Stranger Than Fiction, and Deck the Halls. Borat was a good movie, I guess. You have to have a very good sense of humor to like it. Stranger Than Fiction was decent.. not that much comedy though. I didn't expect that since Will Ferrell was in it. =/ And Deck the Halls.. I was in a Christmas-y mood so yeah. Not really a movie that I would want to see in the theatres.. I should've just rented it in a year lol. Hmm.. we did a lot of shopping. I finally got some new clothes. The mall was packed after Thanksgiving.. it was fun though lol. Speaking of Thanksgiving.. I didn't get turkey this year. =( But that's ok cause I cooked dinner with Scott. We had chicken though. =P What am I thankful for? Well, I'm definitely thankful for meeting a guy like Scott (awwww /tear and lovey dovey music). Lets hope he lasts.
