Can I PLEASE have a ‘one year from today’ moment too?????

You're a moneygrubber...

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 03:28:06 -0500

…so I HIGHBALL.

Ok, so. I got hired for an independent contractor project. You get paid by the project. So the lady asks me, ‘send me x, y, z and also how much you think you should get paid’.

Little Lady. You play that game—I highball. Let’s see you negotiate me down.

To be continued.

interviews!!!

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 21:27:52 -0500

I interviewed today for a competitive and possible future stint.

The interviewer, in my opinion was quite good looking.

I feel like interviews always leave me feeling self-conscious.

And now off to more career focused events!

So, today was kind of stressful. Not just kind of. VERY much...

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:55:00 -0500

Salvatore Ferragamo, Narrow

Dolce & Gabbana

7 for all mankind

So, today was kind of stressful. Not just kind of. VERY much so. A lot of things are going on in my life, mostly future and work related. Basically, the solution—Lunchtime retail therapy at Nordstrom’s Rack! I absolutely drooled over shoe number two (Dolce & Gabbana). The problem is they’re like 5 inch heels. I’m not sure if I can walk too much in them. The boots were so/so. I liked the 7 for all mankind shoes too! Let me know what you think!

The most important lesson I learned today...

Sat, 29 Jan 2011 23:53:28 -0500

…was that excuses make you look COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY STUPID. S-T-U-P-I-D.

I have my third roommate to thank for that. Want to hear the story? Well, here it is anyways:

After a nice trip to the local grocery store, I return with all the items I need to make some delicious meals for the week. I’m quite excited. I come into the kitchen and what do I see—the glass pan that Roommate3 used 3 days ago to cook. It’s been there for awhile now. Our sink isn’t big so it blocks the drain. I have to lift it up to throw anything down the drain. Well, why don’t you just move it from the sink you ask? Well, it is soaking and has some stuff in it that she cooked and is removing. Also, I am against this in principle BECAUSE why do I have to live with a roommate that makes a mess, leaves it and then expects me to move it so that I can continue with my daily chores?

Anyways, so this unpleasant surprise has basically made me ticked off. I go to her room. The light is on so I knock and call her out. I open the door and she’s lying on the floor, clearly she was asleep. I say, ‘o, you were asleep’. Well, she was already awake so I might as well continue, ‘there’s the glass pan in the sink that’s been there and I’m going to cook, can you move it so I can cook?’

She responds- ‘Can’t you just move it?’

I respond- ‘I don’t see why I should have to move it, especially when you’ve been using it.’

This sounds anal and nitpicky for sure, but I stand by my basic principle- you make a mess, you clean it and you put it away. Don’t expect others to tiptoe around it or clean it up for you. GROW UP.

So she gets up and does it, but then continues to politely throw a fit that I was being rude upon asking her to do so. That she was sleeping and that I should have asked nicely. I must have been staring ice picks through her eyes by this time.

I realized-these are the types of people that made the touchdown dance illegal.

So, I promptly apologize for offending her. But she goes on to defend her actions by SPOUTING excuses. OMG. I have never so acutely felt like the person in front of me was seriously an idiot spouting a load of bullshit. She further gave excuses for leaving everything a mess saying that ‘she was really busy with law school applications and stuff’. And you know, ‘I just woke up’. She really stunk up the joint with all the bullshit she was throwing around. And then it hit me—excuses make you look like a complete, complete idiot. You either did it or not, you either take responsibility or not. None of that excuse bullshit.

So, thank you Roommate3 for teaching me a valuable lesson.

Sometimes the best thing is

sitting at home all by myself enjoying a movie.

Currently it’s Anastasia. yay!

Going off now to find out more about Rasputin

of the lately...

Fri, 28 Jan 2011 13:26:24 -0500

…here are the things I’ve been into. By the lately, I mean like the last few days..

(1) Listening to New Kids on the Block (their new AND old stuff).

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon this. O yea, I was listening to LFO and they mentioned New Kids on the Block in their Summer girls song. I then went to investigate what WAS New Kids on the Block. I knew they were an old boys band, but I had never listened. So thus my adventure began…

    Thoughts:
           - They ALL look hella dorky now minus Donnie Wahlberg.
           - Jordan looked supa HOT in the 80s, but now looks like a giant dork. This makes for the argument that guys who are good looking in their teens will not necessarily be so in their middleage. It’s not even that he’s fat or anything. He…just…looks dorky. Please compare him in ‘step by step’ and ‘summertime’

- I like their new Summertime song

- They’re touring w/BSB this summer. I would totally go to a concert.

(2) Watching Paranormal shows and shows dedicated to addiction.

I enjoy watching things like ‘ghost adventurers’ and other shows that talk about communicating with the dead like ‘medium’ etc. Well, that’s not so much a new development. The new development is watching shows dealing with addiction, intervention etc.

Thoughts:

- It’s just so damn interesting.

Tata for now!

What's worse than doing a bad job...

Thu, 27 Jan 2011 13:15:20 -0500

…..is getting caught doing a bad job.

MEH. I am SO OVER that.

I guess I think it’s rough making a commitment that I’m unsure about and then sticking to it.

Well I guess that’s a problem I need to face. If I make the commitment, I’d better stick to it.

SIGH. It’s terrible every time this happens, but I guess I’d better work on it.

SIGH. SIGH. SIGH.

Their dance moves inspire me. Especially the beginning combination. Ok, time to unit and form a dance band!

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:17:14 -0500

I like. Two of them remind me of fairy nymphs? I like the white dress. I like their hair too. NY Spring Fashion show—that’s all I know.

Let's take it back oldschool

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:03:13 -0500

At work. You ever have the craving for the 90’s boy bands? I mean, I wasn’t even a fan of them during the 90s. I got hooked in the 2000s when people would replay them as ‘oldies’— clearly these people weren’t exactly old to be playing them as ‘oldies’ haha.

Girl on TV—always a fav.

So it actually is time...

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:18:05 -0500

… To go on a diet. I nearly died while trying to talk and walk up 3 flights of stairs. Hi *gasp*. How *gasp* are *gasp* you *gasp* do *gasp* ing ?

This sucks
I hate diets
Give me my bag of cheetoes.

Hmmm...so it's another one of those

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 14:41:56 -0500

…another one of those days where I wake up and go—-wait, what the hell am I doing with my life again??? And realize—I have no answer. I’m currently stuck underwater. I don’t know if I would say I’m running underwater at all. I think I’m just stuck. Look at all the pretty fish pass by…

Would you....?

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 23:40:00 -0500

Hey you all out there,

Just finished watching the movie “Timer” classified under RomCom. The premise was rather interesting. It was a hypothetical situation where everyone had the choice of whether to insert a timer into their system. This timer would have a countdown to the point of exactly when you would meet your soul mate. That is, only if they too had inputted the timer into their system.

If you had the choice, would you get one?

Further, if this could be extended to other parts of our lives, like if it told us our destined profession: the profession that we were meant to have in the end…would you agree to that?

….

MMm..what just happened???

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:25:07 -0500

Hello boys and girls,

So, i just returned from an interview for a small side job at a educational startup. The lady running the place kind of bombarded me with questions including how much did I make at my current job. What I’m doing with my future, why the heck did I go to the school I went to, etc, etc.

Overall—it felt meh.

Anyways, I ask her if the site had launched, how were they doing, did they have users, etc.

She answers me very seriously that they already have 2000 (or was it 200,000?) “unics”. I really didn’t want to look stupid by asking her what it meant (sometimes I think its a good strategy to avoid the general appearance of stupidity at interviews) so I just go on with the conversation.

Now, I just asked a computer friend what the hell are ‘unics’. Maybe the lady meant ‘units’? My friend does not know of any similar term.

I’ve decided to chalk it up to the fact that they’ve got 2000 (or 200,000) eunuchs in the company closet.

Maybe if they hire me, I’ll get to see them.

Happy January 17th everybody!

Trip to the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park for their Free...

The Line for Absinthe was pretty long

Special event at the deYoung!

This guy's making the French Absinthe.

Swiss and French Absinthe drinks.

Hey George-s

Trip to the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park for their Free Friday!

They were selling absinthe drinks to commemorate their release of a book focused on Absinthe. It was a pretty cool event. I looked slightly alcoholic by ordering two—they told me the absinthe was legal levels, so I thought I should definitely be getting more than one. The clear one was the swiss-tasted pretty bad. The yellower one was the french style—had more flavor—tasted quite a bit like licorice. These events are pretty awesome I decided, especially if you have clothes that you usually don’t wear and might be considered a little off, but really like. You can wear it to these kinds of events and just be seen as artistic, no matter what. That’s pretty much what I decided to do at the next one.

Yelp you dissappoint me.

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:22:00 -0500

Yelp you dissappoint me.:

I frequently use and trust yelp. Crowdsourcing—so handy! These allegations really show—you can never really completely trust a source.

A New Year

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:21:45 -0500

Well All,

It is indeed a new year. New’s Years resolutions are starting to go into effect-kind of…part of the time. Anyways, I’m going to try and up-keep this wonderful blog. I’m pretty much going to post relevant photos I take. I just got a phone with a good camera on it—-so this will be much more feasible. Now—I just need to find the usb cable…

I will also be posting and discussing any interesting articles. And I suppose the photos will come with blurbs and explanations. :]

Oakland Ktown...not as good as Cerritos!

The Pot-growing University in Oakland

Berkeley's true colors.

Berkeley

So, today was an adventure in Norcal.
I had heard that there was a Ktown in Oakland, since there isn’t one in SF. However, it was very dissappointing—Ktown Cerritos is much better in my opinion.

Went over to Berkes afterwards and it was pleasant—all the students are back and out and about though so the sidewalks were swarming with them.

I finally finished going over my AP Bio and SAT questions. I have my interview on Thursday. Trip to Cupertino!!

I like this blogging thing!

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:02:33 -0400

I like this! I can check in and read what you guys post and it is so interesting. :]

Future blogging goals:
-post a picture
-read a strangers blog? something like that.

A note on my life- AP Bio was seriously a bunch of useless details. I’m having to google the answers to these questions, because the facts we learned just didn’t stick!
