status: still no start date...im beginning to get bitter =/

lots of events to plan/attend this yr, and i need an income!!!

something happened to me today that was truly overwhelming!
len and i went to church today and my fave singer and pianist were there ...during the song during offertory, he cantor sang a song that had a message of how the Lord is with us always, standing by us, esp in hard/sad times....and i started getting a deep feeling in my heart, and i started choking up! and then from that time til after communion i was a little tearful but i was still able to control it...and then when we got back to the seats, i was listening to the other song which had the lyrics with "fly like an eagle...i will rise again.."not sure of the name of the song....and i was about to cry again so i figured if i knelt, then i can try to control it more.....and then the cantor sang "Lead me, Lord" and my tears came uncontrollably! i was trying so hard to hide it, but i was totally sniffling...i dont know what happened...i was so moved by the songs, and was feeling so sorry for all the stupid stuff ive done in the past, and how loving the Lord is, and He is always with me, and just hopeful that things will be ok since He is always by my side.....it was truly overwhelming....and when len asked me what happened, i found myself tearing again while i was trying to describe to him what i was thinking/feeling...

i texted my bff and she described it as being filled with the Holy Spirit ...and that im not the only one that that's happened to...i totally agree...

so i decided to write another post, cuz the website was giving me issues about starting a new paragraph...i dont know what i press to make it do that but all of a sudden the enter key doesnt work

anyways i hope i made the right choice...i have sooo many events coming up towards the end of the year and i need an income already! i love my intern, but i really need to start getting paid!!! im getting so impatient....ya i know everyone is telling me to enjoy this time i have off, cuz i wont be having a vacation for a while... but why dont they just give me a date, so i know when im going to start already!! i swear...they are taking so long.....as least i knew that oc wanted me....and if i took that job, id be on my second week working already

so since i last wrote, an event that passed was going to san diego comic con! it was fun, although we had to endure 2.5 days of being in close contact with all these sweaty people....musty smell....i was already smelling it thurs night, i couldnt even imagine how it was going to be during the day!! on thursday night, we got our passes/badges, ate at a cool australian place called, bondi, with amazing architecture....i was surprised that when i went to a bathroom and washed my hands, i saw a guy smiling at me, and i didnt know the sinks were back to back and u could see the guys/girls through the slits between the mirrors....i was so confused and had to double take to see if i was in the right bathroom!!, then we watched superman.doomsday

~then on friday, len and i woke up early to catch a mass for my lolo's death anniversary...marjorie told me about a church called immaculata, at usd.....oh my gosh it was sooo beautiful!!! and old architecture style..and the whole campus was full of oldstyle architecture, with arches, columns....wow! then we went to comic-con, and stood in line a lot! we got to meet olivia munn, kevin pereira, blair butler, katie segal, rosario dawson, mark dacoscos...and of course i wanted to take advantage of all the free stuff but sure enough everytime i went by the booths, they would tell me to come back cuz they will give them away later....and i kept doing that to no avail! then that night we went to dinner with marjorie and ray at sushi deli, then dessert at extraordinary desserts! yummy! sushi selection was yummy and different than most sushi places, and extraordinary desserts is a cool place, but the one len and i chose was tooooo sweet, even for me!! for the first time ever, len finished more of the dessert than i did....but it was a fun night; good company with friends, good food, and good laughs! after marjorie and ray dropped us off at the car, we met len's friends at basic pizza...which is a restaurant/bar with no dress code, no cover that serves thin crust pizza and has bumpin music! that place was cool!again finishing the night with good friends, and in len and his friends' cases: beer.
~then on saturday we had to get up early to watch the "pushing daisies" pilot and panel, with kristin chenoweth! i swear no matter how early i think we are getting to comic-con, theres thousands of people there earlier....so we got to meet kristin chenoweth and the other stars n producers of pushing daisies...and looks like a very cool show! then we spent most of the day in panels: "balls of fury"; "the strangers" with scott speedman (yay felicity!!) and liv tyler (she is so pretty and shy!); "narnia"; "wall e"; "hulk" with liv tyler and edward norton (cute smile!); and "ironman" with terrance howard, gwyneth paltrow, robert downey, jr, stan lee, and jon favreau (monica's ufc bf in "friends") hehe i was so star struck...i mean we were sitting far, so i could see them but mainly watched the monitors to see what was going on...note to self: it is better to go around the booths in the exhibit area an hour before it closes, cuz thats when all the booths are giving away everything!!! in that hour i got soooo much stuff, compared to past two days when i didn't get anything!

then we went back home on sunday....its funny that we were so excited to eat at all these restaurants we were researching before this weekend, but since we were soooo tired all the time from the day, we'd just eat at the first thing we saw....it was fun! and hope we get to go next yr again!

hopefully i dont get logged off before i finish the post...last time i tried to write a blog and then i got disconnected but i got lazy to write another one

well here i am, still waiting for a start date from l.a. county...gosh they told me i would start in august and if they really give 2-3 weeks to give notice to a present employer, then should have contacted me already right? cuz august is half over.....it better be soon!

so i got an email from oc, saying that i didnt get the job.....and i thought that this was probably a sign that la was really meant for me...cuz i was praying to God to give me to position that would be best suited for me and since i didnt get oc, i thought that meant that la was for me...plus i didnt want to agonize about the decision on which county to accept....
so i guess about the 2nd week of july, the chief inspector at my intern told me that a lady from hr at oc called her doing a reference check and that they talked to quite a long time...and i told her i was confused cuz they told me i didnt get the job....so later that day i was out on the field following one of the inspectors and i got missed calls from oc hr.....and they were offering me the job, and they told me how much and when i would start and my supervisor...and i asked if i could call them back, so i could make a decision and i told them that i already accepted la cuz i thought i didnt get the job with oc... about the pro's and con's i really really liked the vibe at oc, and the people there are so positive and easy-going...if i lived closer to oc, i would totally take the job but when it came down to it....they pay the same....and since i have no living situation in oc and id have to be paying loads of money in gas, or getting an apt...but then how would i save for the wedding?...so i decided to take/ or stay with la, up to now they havent given me a start date....gosh i hope i made the right decision....i really need to start getting paid!...............................
