this week was so hectic...alot of errands before lola n uncle butch went to the philippines and amidst all the excitement, lola misplaced her wedding ring the day before she leaves....so we were looking for that and the 50 bucks and she misplaced as well.....it was really sad when they left, i felt like i was going to cry the whole day....it would be diff if i knew she was only there for like a yr n then she would come back, but she keeps saying shes going for good and that was making me sad....i miss her! the next day my mom found the ring under my shell near the tv, so i guess lola placed if there when she was packing her stuff....ive been trying to call her since, but its hard to catch her, cuz i gota call whoever is with her at the moment, i tried calling auntie mersie and i heard them answer but they couldnt hear me...so i dont know how to reach her.....hopefully they just relayed to her the message that we found the ring, so she wont worry about it anymore.....then just trying to get through my labs n stuff and thats about it.....going to go to the career fair on wednesday too, but im kind of nervous...hopefully it goes ok...we'll see and then hopefully i can go to budweiser next week to drop off a resume...today went to lolo julian's bday and it was cool to see all the relatives...alot of them are losing weight doing the atkins diet......the party was fun, just sooo windy!! its freezing! okie i go now, going to go scrapbook prolly or clean my room....

oh my gosh just got the best deal today! anyways lemme first start with the beginning of the day, i got to sleep in, after finishing my week or lab n research...hella sleepy cuz of the codeine..hehehe but it seems to be working!this week was ok but just glad its time to rest now-=) today lola and i ran errands at the post office, and went to olive garden, then mervyns, then manila sunset, and then it was off to burbank to meet up with annemarie, so it was a good chill day and got to do alot of things.....anne and i chilled at coffee bean and we were able to catch up and talk about the past few months....then we went to urban outfitters and we were looking at their marked off prices....when anne was trying something on i was at the shoe section, and i saw these shoes in the marked off section and i couldnt really see a sale price, so i decided to check with the cashier how much they were..turns out they were 50% off 15.99 (regular priced at 52.00!)....i had overlooked the 15.99 written in marker on the side....so i was amazed when she told me theyd be 8 dollars! so i was walking around the store holding onto the box, in case i wanted to buy them....so i tried em on and to my surprise they fit, although they were a 6.5 M ....so i was like i should buy them!! so i ended up getting em..and its cools cuz its a style of shoe i wanted, just in leather instead of suede... just never thought id get cuz of the price, usualy over 50....but 8 dollars is really cool!!! ehehehe i was like man why do i find stuff i wanna buy when im broke!!, but i guess its all good cuz it was on sale...ahahha also for an update, i dont think i wrote about this, but i interviewed with tato's auntie's friend for a quality control chemist position..i was kinda iffy about it cuz it was from 4-1am and it would coincide with the schedule i wanted for research, but i guess i could always split up my hours, meaning id have to travel to irvine more often and be back here by 4...the thing was that during the interview the hr person was saying that its 40-50 hrs cuz of mandatory ot when it comes up, which means it could come up right after a shift, what if i got home at 5am and then have to drive to irvine...means no sleep for me and i know that would hazardous to my health!!!...basically i went on the interviews cuz my parents were pressuring me and i knew i had to sell myself during the interview although i wasnt sure i wanted the job.....so after the interview i didnt think they thought id be right for the job cuz of my school schedule, but the ended up callin me within an hour to give me an offer....i called back and the hr lady told me to think about it first and get this....now that im getting the job, its my parents that are telling me that i shouldnt take it cuz of the hours and its late n the neighborhood might not be too safe......and shereen was saying it woulda been sooooo hard to find time to sleep or anything and it would have been an impossible schedule, so i decided not to take the job.....hopefully opportunities wont be too hard to come by and although i didnt take this position, that i am still blessed with more offers for jobs, and that the right job will come along for me, esp when im ready and hopefully during the day....still waiting for budweiser to open with a position=)
