And then...

Sooo.. due to a number of discussions and circumstances, I dropped the SBC job. I seriously HATE declining job offers.. it feels like just a waste and it's also a disappointment to the employer. But I guess I can't be greedy and have them all (I'd like to though.. :33).

First I had to wake up at 8am all of a sudden to have a talk with this other guy who offered me this other job over the phone. He told me all the details of his company and etc and then wanted to meet with me on Monday, the same day I am to start my barista training. I didn't plan on dropping the SBC position initially until I realized it was impossible to do both. But when I think about it again now... the chance is not big but, there is still a chance where I won't get hired by the other company too. Let's hope that's not the case...

Again, a great big thanks to !Stygien! for being online at the right time so I got a good 3rd person/outsider point of view. Then to Jo for being more enthusiastic than me about getting the job and making the decision. And everyone saying the exact same but true statement: "You won't have to deal with shitty/crappy/nasty customers". Said by Sty, my bro and Jo respectively. Anyways, more detail on this later if I get the job. :b

King crab season's over! It's rather saddening but we managed to organize one last king crab family dinner before the end of the cheap season. And we held the last dinner at our favourite restaurant to ensure the perfectly prepared crab. I think this season was rather good... we tried out some other places this year because they offered better prices. Nothing beats the restaurant on Broadway (called Rich Ocean btw <3)... the first one was a 8 pounder treated by my bro, then the awsome, massive 11.5 pounder that I treated the family to at our favourite Rich Ocean place then my dad wanted to try out this cheap place that I mentioned before which was -- I can't remember -- 8 pounds too?... then our last one was only 7.5 but it's taste beat all the other restaurants so it's all good~ Okay enough about food.

Snowboarding tomorrow. Probably our last for the season. That reminds me, I gotta find someone with a 2 for 1 for Whistler.

And here's what I got for a quiz: Heart Sick Soul (for girls onry)... so true for me. (Maybe 'cept the writing their name in all my books)

Let's hope I get this right....

Look This Way

What. The. Fuck.

Sorry for the language in this post but I'm fucking pissed.

Well I got hired on the spot at the interview for Seattle's Best Coffee. The interview went smooth = uber proud. I didn't plan on telling anyone (family members wise) about it. Why? They don't need to know. It's my problem anyways, no? Having them knowing just leads to more annoying questions about the job and everything. And parents like to butt into issues that don't concern them anyways. Well when I got home I totally forgot one of my references listed is one of my mom's co-workers. Well, fine.. it became the inevitable. I guess she'd find out sooner or later, so whatever. When my parents got home from work, she approached me with a rather unpleasing, angry face with the question, "Which Seattle's Best Coffee did you apply for?"... O-kay, why the face? Shouldn't you be proud or some shit like that? I guess not, considering she didn't know any of the circumstances nor would she care in the first place. Then she went on with the "You better treat your aunt for dim sum." It's as if references are used like pets where they would say a few good words and then you give them a doggy treat for a job well done. Aha. Not that I mind treating, but one meal = a big chunk of a paycheque? When treating these crazy ladies, it's no treat-you-to-a-$5-coffee type of situation -at ALL-. Anyways, that's not why I'm still upset... I just went off-topic. Bah, it's just depressing and discouraging when you do your best and they don't give a damn, hey? I swear that's why I always give up early or before I even start. And another reason why I don't like telling them things is so I can feel some independence and deal with things myself. Apparently doing so just makes them angry at you instead BECAUSE they know nothing and think you're doing nothing. Now if they really knew me, did they know I use the computer to make sites not play fucking games. I haven't even touched a game in the last two months. Not saying I've made many sites lately either though... But the thing is, parents seem to assume too much without bother researching. "Oh sure she likes pink." WTF PINK? "Who the fuck would like pink?"-kinda situation. Or any other bad example, not that I have anything against the colour pink. Okay off topic again...

I forgot about getting pledges for the 30-hour famine so I passed my form to my mom just now. And the response? "Why the hell didn't you give it to us before promotion [at work - a busy time]?" Hmm, I didn't get the form yet then. "Why the hell didn't you give it to your grandma when you had lunch with her last weekend?" Um, why are you angry? If you can't get pledges then that's COMPLETELY FINE YOU KNOW. Don't need to get ANGRY over it. It's voluntary anyways. But of course, getting as much $$ as you can is always good. It's still nothing to get steaming angry over, is it? And fuck that ruined my day some more. And when I thought it was a good start too... (Except the fact that my phone died this morning because it didn't charge properly this morning and I had to use the icky icky payphone)

Not to mention the king crab at this shit restaurant I didn't like (because of the dinner we had for Mike's b-day at the same restaurant sucked ass), indeed sucked. It was done bad, the service was bad, and annoying questions about the job popped up here and there. I had no intention on answering... I answered as few as I could. I also saw someone I didn't wanna see nor have him see me but I think he did when he was leaving cuz I saw the damn smirk on his face. Ass. I thank my bro for being there though. He didn't step on me with my parents like he'd do sometimes... My parents like him a lot more and when he's around, the attention is diverted to him more than me.

Okay, I am done. I am (relatively) happy again.
I will return to putting up my new layout. Bubye for now.

Uguuu...

My layouts suck.

*claws kNU & bwNET*

Facking ugly.

If it wasn't for this annoying tension for my interview tomorrow, I'd change it this instant. Oh, the OTC Marathon... I guess I'll have to wait a few more days for bwNET then.

Time Goes On...

And it keeps going on...
and it won't damn stop already D:

Okay, so time's flying a bit too fast lately. Okay, no, since the beginning of the year actually. It kinda sucks...

Last Saturday, my dad called my grandma out for lunch. My brother joined us as well ('cept my mom; she was working). It was a pleasant Shanghainese lunch. Something different for a change. Though I insisted Dim Sum (and grandma preferred dim sum too) but my Dad wanted Shanghai food, poo.

I forgot computer stores are mostly closed on Sundays. Why is that anyways? That's so strange.

Oh yeah, Telus warned us for bandwidth overdosage last week. I thought our more expensive package gives us more bandwidth but actually it's not by much. Apparently we're over the limit by 560%? Yes 560. That's strange too. (:p)

Now we gotta limit ourselves. I wonder how much it is over now... >_>; (*slipping a few dls here and there*)

Monday/Yesterday. BCIT Career Fair. Hahaa.... It sucked. But at least I got some free loot. It only took me and Mike a half n hour to tour the whole fair. Afterwards, we spent the next... 7 hours in a lab being geeky. He worked on his assignment while I attempted to learn PHP from a Dummies book. (Dummies books suck.) The organization was everywhere, there were typos and the explanations were bad too. It made me feel like I learnt nothing. And did time fly that day. After the hardcore work we wanted food. Our luck sucked that night too. When we got to Metro, the sushi place was closed. Then we headed to Richmond to Fukuroku to find that it was going to close in a half n hour. We hmmed and went to Richmond Sushi. The food wasn't so great that night. And strangely, we were full before the end of our first round. Gasp it was horrible lol. So shocking. So I return home only to be greeted by an angry father who starts yelling at me because I misplaced my own watch. Uhh?

April approaches. Lots of stuff going on. Busy, anxious, aieee~

mmm mold

Apparently Fukuroku Sushi has all-you-can-eat now. With a Deluxe Menu option. Their deluxe > Richmond Sushi's deluxe. Even the waiter is cute! Bonus!

Ahh that reminds me, I picked up Shinshi Doumei Kurosu tankoubon last week and aieee I'm so happy~ The 4kon panels at the back (especially the one about Maguri and ... wow you wouldn't know he had an accent unless you read the raw!) are hilarious. GJ Tanemura Arina-sensei~ xDD

There's also a bunch of series I wanna buy.. but that's not before I get income again. I will hold back from the temptation. Yess.

Ah the return of driving lessons... this time, I found another lady to help me out. Hmm, the lesson was... really bad. I forgot about school zones twice and my bad habits were everywhere. Not to mention her car was kinda difficult to get use to... even after using it for 1 1/2hr. I have no confidence as of yet but it feels as though I felt the same for my first test too and I was still fine. But anyways, gotta be more cautious... if no one has yet to fail the class 5, I don't want to be the first. がんばるぞーっ！／／／　v(￣Д￣)v

Ohtani Ikue-san and angela at SakuraCon... that pisses me off. On the weekend of my birthday... there's no way in hell I'll be wasting my party time at a convention (as much as I like Ohtani-san and anime). Ah well, one minor loss compared to what and whom we'll see at Anime EXPO! Sakamoto Maaya~ + others. The CCS Board & .hack BBS people too as well... hm, it'll be interesting. :]] I feel bad for making Sty stay behind from SC for my party though... but she said AX is more worth it anyhow (which is true...)... So now I'm motivated to save up and spend a bit more to go. Yay~ lets hope my school schedule won't clash.

もー

何でそうになちゃったのかな…；；
いつの間に、桜コンのゲストは大谷育江さんとangelaさんになちゃって行きたいなぁ～と思っててマジで行く～とするとあたしの誕生日パーティの日も…同じの日で起こるミタイ…ので、行かなくなった…そして、あたしの大事な友達もまたそう、また今年あたしのパーティにいかなくなった…

angelaさんのステキな声聞きてぇーっ
ピカピカも聞きテェーーーーーーーっ！(´Д⊂
ガシュの「うむっ！」やこより、チョッパ、いすず、ふじ姫までガクッ

あたし日本語下手くせぇ／／／　＿|￣|○----

変更：友達はその変わりに一緒にAXに行かなければならんとちょっと約束したｖｖじゃ、AXのお楽しみ～☆ま～あ～や～さ～ん～

Some Bubyes

Mmmm~ I'm currently listening to Kiuchi Hidenobu aka. Oshitari Yuushi's latest album, Kesshou. Man... there's no end to the PoT goodness. :3

Wednesday: Sho's goodbye party! ;_; Even though we've only known each other for, what, half a month, it was sad to see him go! Especially when he got all teary eyed when he talked to us at the end about how much he enjoyed his stay and everything. But anyways, we went to Zakkushi(?) Downtown for some good ol' yakiniku-style Japanese... Transportation was rather interesting... all of us bussed from different locations and Alex (w/ his gf and Sho) was nice enough to bus to my place to accompany me Downtown (well it WAS 9PM :/). We met up with Shinsaku (who became Eleanor's ecchi nii-chan since that night -- be warned), Morris (who I finally found out's real name isn't Morris but Hi--あっちゃ I can't remember, three syllables though? --Hiroki? maybe... D:), Eleanor and Shu. When we got there (@11), it was already time for "last calls" -_-;;... So the food was good, the service good, the pickyness about drinking age was not so good. Hey, I heard *Asterisk at the restaurant which was good. The majority had beer (ew, beer), so they had their own fun beer chugging moments. Then there was a よそのいやな女の子 who くっついていて on 私達's Sho. むかーっ！ 近づくなぁ、このくそぶす！…と言われたいんだが but what am I to him right? >_>;; あたしと関係ねぇしな・・・； Anyways, he's prolly in New York right now doing whatever he's there to do before he heads back to Japan again. Taking a bite out of teh big apple?

*munches on her daifuku*

Hmm I just realized I need to get a layout up. Ooh crap...

Lol, I love the pictures Eleanor put up (@ her IS). *big smile* :DDD

Oh, yesterday, Simon, Jo and I had food at ... Glosaeaewadewaester (sp D:) for dinner. I had trouble deciding what to get cuz everything was expensivey and BIG. I ate a bit before going so finally I ended up getting soup with the bread roof. Yay, it was good. Afterwards, we made our way to Sing Sing. Ah... perhaps I overestimated the place. When we got there, we were first greeted by a creepy guy walking around outside the building. Then we took the elevator up to the 2nd floor to be greeted by a sheep gang at the front door and a rather scary looking front desk guy. But, all three of us proceded to the washrooms first. :DD The Chinese songs were all bootlegged so they constantly skipped and had bad quality video... The english songs were often skipped by the disk changer guy for unknown reasons... The songs didn't come constantly... we had to wait most of the time for the next song to load as we watched the old school surfing video again and again.... The Japanese selection wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I WANTED MY I'VE!! MY RYTHEM!! and at LEAST dream/ruppina/HAL/Janne da Arc/wyse etc... but noo... There were a few recent tracks like Melissa (hahaha, my 「さぁ、愛に焦がれた胸を貫けぇ」was ばっちり~<3) Locolotion of Orange Range (but noo, no Hana.. I want Hana *whines*)... but that was the latest, pretty much. Hmph, I guess there's no choice but to go to JAPAN TO SING HARDCORE K NOW!! Surprisingly we were there for ~200 minutes and we didn't get to finish our last hour (we didn't know they didn't have half hour/quarter charges D:) so we got billed that last hour we didn't sing. And so our bill went up, through, and over the roof. Crap tips for j00 f00~ Bubye Sing^2.

Ok, so I'm going to take my drivers test soon and get rid of that silly green piece of wasted magnetic plastic.

Also... a job. I forgot about that. I need one. Again.
